COUNTRY SoUNDS.-Sometimes one is
conscious of a sound impossible to locate
or define. 1t is delicate murmur, which
seems to come from nowhere in particular,
but which is us unmistakable as the more
blatant noises that smite the ear. 1t comes
from multitude of sources, and is recog-
nizable only in II peculiar stiffness Of the
atmosphere. This tissue or gossamer is
the nearest to fine hearing that we morlas
ever get, and it sets one thinking of what
George Eliot calls 1.-THE roar that lies on
the other side of silence
Almost any time in the country the noise
of a hammer driving nails can be heard !;
it is II thrifty sound, suggesting well kept
fences and gates, carefully mended farm
implements and things generally kept in
repair. The farmer whose hammer is
bright with frequent use, is likely to have
fertile fields, and to make good show of
vegetables and stock at the agricultural
fair. In the fall when the barns are full
of hay and grain, the music of the fails
like military march The wood choppers
AK is not nearly SO musical an instrument; ;
but in bright, frosty weather it makes n
clear, ringing sound on the bare hill sides
There is in endless fascination in waiting
for the report to reach the ear after the
eye has seen the blow fall. In the distance
it seems to play kind of game tag in
which the sound never succeeds in quite
catching up with The ax.
When big tree falls in the forest the
whole neighborhood is reused by the up
roar. One fances how it must alarm the
thousands of quick-eared creatures in the
woods. | remember the fall of tree at
night-fll of an early winter day. The
place was one where nature was in her
widest mood, which the road running
past only emphasized. 1t was as if II dozen
mighty temples had fallen together in a
huge shapeless mass; vast unhewn rocks
hung beetling over their sides, their lodges
hardly affording nutriment enough for a
stunted pine TO take root in. The rude
majesty of the place almost stopped the
breath. A tiny fall of water tumbled
down between the rocks, paused at their
foot in IL natural basin, and crossed the
road into IL ditch. Across the fields was
long curvlng line of rugged hills closing
up the view north and south. The west.
ern horizon was,an intense clear gold and

DICKENS MANusCRIPTS.-A glimpse Of
the manuscripts of the late Charles Dick
ems. which now form part of the Forster
Collection in South Kensington museum,
coniures up II vision of numerous charac-
ters to his popular novels. On looking at
tentively at the manuscripts, we are at
once struck by the number of alterations
and interlineations with which the pages
abound; and our first sentiment is one OF
surprise that the books which appear so
wonderfully natural and fluent when we
read them, should evidently have been the
result of much anxious thought, cafe and
elaboration. The collection comprises the
original manuscripts of the following
works: Oliver Twist, published in 1855
80; Master Humphreys Clock, comprls-
ing the Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby
Rudge, published in 1904; Barnaby
Ridge, separate volume, lolo-4i
American Notes. 1S4S; Martin Chuzzlcwit,
1854; The Chimes, Christmas, 1914
Domhey and Son, lSt6-49; David Cop
perfield. 1890; Bleak House, which
has in the original manuscript Il secondary
title. The East Wind, 1928; Hard
Times, 1854; Little Dorrtt, 1855-57; A
Tale of Two Cities, 1859; and The Mys-
tery of Edwin brood (his last but untinlsll-
ed work., 1870. There are also proof vol
umes from the printers, consisting of
Dombey and, Son, David Copperiield,
Bleak House, and Little Dorrltt' the pages
of which bear marginal and other correc-
tions and alterations, in ink, by the au-
r.-ChanlbcrS J0urndt.

CuoATE's IRoNY.-Nobody at the bar
ever equaled him in paying ironical COM
pliments to the Judges who blocked his
way to the hearts and understandings of
the iuries. Judge Shaw was specially
noted for the gruff wny in which he inter
posed such obstacles, and Shaw's depth of
legal learning was not more conspicuous
than his force OF character. "Tisnt so,
Mr., Choate," was frequent interruption
when Shaw was on the bench and Choate
was arguing case before him. Choate's
idle remarks on the judge have passed
into stereotyped jokes at the bar and are
now somewhat venerable. One is, think
not commonly stated in the exact words.
81 always approach Judge Shaw" he
said, las a savage approaches his fetch,
knowing that he is ugly, but feeling that
he is great" OF Judge Story he once
remarked, " never heard him pronounce
Judgment in which he did not argue the
case better than the counsel on either side;
and for which, " he added, with twinkle
in his eye, she might very properly have
been impcached." He delighted in grave
ly joking with a judge. Thus he once
asked that case might be postponed,
owing to his engagement in another court.
The Judge replied that the case was one
in which he might write out his argument.
With mock solemnity, which it always
seemed to me no countenance could so
readily assume, he replied, :" write well
YOUR honor, but slowly" AS his hand
writing resembled the tracks of wildcats,
with their claws dipped in ink, madly
dashing over the surface of a folio sheet
of white paper, the assembled bar could
not restrain their laughter. Indeed, it is
affirmed that he could not decipher his
own handwriting after case was conclud-
ed, and had to call in experts to explain it
to himself. He congratulated himself on
the fact that if he failed to get living at
the bar, he could still go TO China and sup
port himself by his pen; that is, by decor
ating tea chests.-Edwin p. nipple, in
Harpers' Magazine for NoUember.

PLEASURES OF TIE STANDARDIZATION
Hall describes one of his Sundays Such
are my common days; but Gods day calls
for another respect. The same sun arises
on this day, and enightens it; yet because
the sun of righteousness arose upon it, and
gave new life to the world in it, and
drew the strength OF Gods moral precepts
upon it, therefore do we justly sing with
the psalmist: This is the day which the
Lord hath made!" Now | forget the
world and, in IL sort, myself, and deal
with my wonted thoughts us great men do
who, at some times of their privacy, forbid
the access of all suilors. Prayer, mcdita-
tion. reading, hearing, preaching, singing,
good conferences, are the business Of this
day, which dare not bestow on any work
or pleasure but heavenly. | hate super
stiton on tho one side, and looseness on
the other; but find it hard to offend in
too much devotion, easy in profaneness.
The whole week is sanctificd by this day;
and according to my care of this day is
blessing on the rest"

ENEMIEs.-Tho men who have real ene'
mics are generally they who have true
friends also-men of will and pride, of
courage and power, dealers with events,
and shapers OF circumstances, not CAB
blers and marauders: These do not talk
of their enemies either; they do not think
of them; they have other and better things
to do. Accepting them rs matter of
course, they attend to the business they
have in hand, neither explaining nor tell
ing why they are what they are not and
were never designed to be. Depend, when
You hear man vaporing of his enemies,
that his character or lack of it is incapa-
bic of supporting even one verilable enc
nv. His enemies are internal not external,
and he raves about them either because he
has lost his balance through his eg otism,
or because he is trying to throw up de-
fenses for his own inadequacy.-N T.

ADVICE TO PARENTS Many people
have deal of trouble in bringing up chill.
dren; but it is all unnecessary. There is
II way in which IA child can be squelched
if parents only knew it. If you have II
vigorous athletic, cx,itabIc urchin for
your son, and the little chap, fresh from
some wonderful feat or startling expert
ence, comes racing in through the front
door, his face flashed, his eyes blazing and
his little heart actually plnling with II de-
sire TO :" tel YOU all about it," stamp
your foot and tell him severely that chill
dren should he seen and not heard. After
II few such receptions he will be sure to
make you his conlidant. Or, if in swinging
on the gate he has broken one of the
hinges aud, sobbing, he comes hatingly
in to confess the mishap and his fault.
give him II good sound cutting. or take
him by the collar of his jacket and shake
him. If you lift him off his feet and set
him down once or twice, it will be apt to
make him manly and free to confess his
errors to you ever after.
If your boy happens to be a giH, it is

given them beautifully. Girls have little
secrets and little foolishnesses; little vani-
ties and silly conceits, and modcSlies that
can so easily be laughed at. Any mother,
il she be a woman of ordinary common
sense, can easily take the course that shall
protect her from being bothered with
any of their nonsense.
All me! how many boys have been made
Liars and thieves by parental sternness,
How many girls, modest and truthful,
have been driven TO conceal their sweetest
life from the mothers eye, TO seek unnat-
ural confidence by her lack of sympathy.
There are some of US who are men and
women now, who remember the days that
are gone and our childhoods time; and we
remember how little mother and father
understood us And we have said
more than oncc,-said it to ourselves
when alone said it to others who had had
like experience,- right had they to
have children. if they didn't know how to
treat them better than they did us? Love
us? Certainly they loved us, but what
good did that DO us? Theirs was not II
wise love. and when we needed the wis
dom of love we got it not, either for our
Guidance or our comfort. And some of US
would be better now ourselves, and have
less to regret, had our parents beer wiser.

wrath. -G0AlcN Rule.

the saplings of young trees growing along
the road were outlined in delicate tracery
against it. A woodlands ax somewhere
on the other sile Of the rocky hill filed
the lonely, savage place with wild echoes;
but when the tree at last fell, the crash
seemed TO shake the whole world. The
ponderous rocks groaned with the concus-
sion, and the amphilheater opposite roared
Ike an angry lion. This sound was
thrown buck and forth from the walls OF
stone in Il succession of discharges. and u
long series of rcvcrberations rolled from
cliff to cliff, as if reluctant to die away at
last in faint vibrations among remote
hills. When they seemed to have expired
altogether, deep. delicate tremors of sound
still returned, AMI shook themselves out
airily in invisible distances 1t was some
thing to listen To with blted breath and to
for lifetime. me.-NttiOaat Repos-

NECESSITY OF LEISURE TO BUSINESS
MEN-" For the man of business, | hold
that along with the courage which makes
him refuse to do what he cannot do well,
there should be the element which is but
the spirit of order and courage combined,
of resoute reserve of leisure. 1t is II ne
cessity for every man Of business to have
II city of refuge, to have and guard jeal-
ously some period of each day which shall
be consecratel to leisure-lhe leisure of
books, OF of gentle society, or of nature,
or of worship. The last is essential the
others are grateful ends. In this shelter
he has chance TO set his watch by the
heavenly bodies, and when he issues forth,
into whptever thickct of men or affairs he
may plunge, he WILL ut amy rate, be him
self and not the slave of necessity.
