nI.-THE CONSEQUENCE.

"Now, Miss Clara, you know this
monopoly won't do. Half a dozen
times Jack may be all very well, but
when it comes to seven, it's little too
much. Let me have just one turn, old
fellow, do
"All right, Fred" replied Jack.
" But look here, my boy" he added,
lowering his voice, ''be careful whom
you introduce her to, that's all"
Fred Wilmore nodded, and whirled
off with his prize. But there was a
twinkle in his eye that might have made
Jack uneasy if he had seen it.
"Why, Jack dear" exclaimed Mrs.
Hall about half an hour later, with as
founding animation, "what very dis
tinguished-looking young man that is
with Clara! Who is hep"
81 don't know" replied Jack, who
had for some time past been fidgeting
about in his seat, and had almost
gnawed his mustache of.
Whoever he was, he was undeniably
an unusually fine-loOking man, and,
what was more, it was evident Clara
thought him so. To Judge by her man
ner, as she leaned on his arm and looked
up into his face, she was completely
carried away; and indeed she was excus-
able. There was nothing wanting either

The haunting spirit Of the May
Inhabits all the woodland ways

A finer quickening everywhere,
presage Of the royal days
That even now are drawing near,
When earth puts on her robe Of praise,
When perfect love doth Danish fear,
And heavy hearts are glad and gay.
The dead leaves lie beneath my feet
But here and there come pushing through
The lovely hints of future bloom;
Young shoots that wear an olive gloom
Above their green 40 fresh and new
And some are tipped with rose and pearl,
And here in the old rendezvous,
All blushing like a startled girl,

Look After the Drains.

In every house there is of this refuse
material, a large amount. On washing
day many gallons, often barrels, of WA
ter, in which our clothing has been
washed, and contains the filth that the
skin has thrown off during the week,
must be disposed of. All through the
week more or less dishwater and dirty
water from various sources accumulate.
As Il rule, it is thrown into a dIain,
which is perhaps covered only with a
board, and carried only a few feet
away, when it soaks into the soil, or
spreads out on the ground and evapo-
rates into the air. If the soil is pervi-
GUS, it may leak into it, and some of it
eventually finds its way into the well.
In the course of short time these
Stops fill the soil full, sort of fermen-
tatiOn takes place, and as the air is
more or less excluded, most poisonous

Ferns, Leaves, ETC., for Ornament

We have pressed ferns satisfactorily,
merely by using folded newspapers put
smoothly under the movable hat box in
Saratoga trunk. Autumn leaves re-
quire more care, and the greatest pains
must be taken to keep them from be-
coming widowed. A day or two after
putting to press examine them to see il
they are damp, and if so, change the
papers between which they lie. The
first step is to dry them, after which
they may be kept indefinitely; but, be-
fore using for decorative purposes there
are many methods by which their
beauty may be improved. Some press

ton of gum-shellac, which imparts Il
brilliant but stiff appearance Others
use IL barely warm iron smeared thinly
with speImaceti, which the iron must
be warm enough to keep liquid. Dog

keep their color well, and are beautiful
when pressed. The poison ivy-''the

Careless Words.
BY FLORA E. BUCK.

How many of US think or realize what
an impression our careless words make
upon children?
A few days since, little three-years
Ida was at my house, and picking a
bouquet l gave it to her sister, with but
one or two bright flowers to Ida, say
ing, "when | come up Pll bring you a
bouquet" little thinking when that
would be, as she lived more than mile
distant. But three days later the OPP
portunity came, and then will say it
was on second thought that l turned
back TO the flOwer-beds to snatch some
flowers. Some one saw us coming, and
announced the fact, and before | had
alighted Ida was at the wagon, in eager
expectancy of the promised bouquet.
Then did l see what an impression my
forgotten words had made on her mind,
and how near Il pOstpOnement had my
promise come. Would this little friends
confidence in me have remained the
same, had / smothered the thought
with, "Tll take them up next time ?''
The happy look in those blue eyes said
so plainly 81 kae1 you'd bring them"
that, considering how uncOnsciously
near she had come to disappointment,
it was almost as singing Il reproof as
was that of dear old teacher, who in
curing if my lamp was burning the
previous night when the retiring bell
rang, Oh being answered in the atfirma-
tive, looked at me with such Il volume
Of kind reproach in her brown eyes, us
she said, ''If | can't trust you, whom
can l trust ?"
How many mothers think what an
effect their silly, heartless threats may
have on the future lives of their chill
dren. "Now hush your crying, or I'll
throw you out doors and let the dogs
eat YOU up" "Shall knock you right
through that wall Then sit down and
be quiet"
What difference in the degree of
confidence placed in that mothers
words, and another's whose little boy
had spent his first years with grandma,
but who llau TO "get acquainted" with
his family when he came home. He
was reproved one day, and as his
mother left the room she said, George,

brothers friendly warning, ''Look out,

controversy, both for the sake of estab-
fishing the truth and for the sake of the
intellectual activity which it provoked
in. himself and others. p His wit, was
sharp and quick, and if he had parish
ioner who could tell a good story or
sustain his end of an, argument with
force and skill, it was his delight to
spend the blue Monday in his company.
But with, all his devotion to his chos-
en- work, we dOuhtif he could have sus-
tanned himself so long in that small
town, where he must have been pain
fully conscious of its limitations, if
it had not been for his passionate. fond
ness for natural scenery and all the at
fractions of out door life in New Eng
land. 1t was this which kept him from
the depressing influence of life in a re-
tired community. In the. season he
either went fishing or hunting Monday
mornings, and in the physical fatigue,
as well as the diversion of the day, he
experienced IA healthy reaction from the
mental and spiritual exhaustion of his
Sunday work. There was nothing in
the natural history or geology of Graf
ton with which he was not familiar, and
he had the naturalist's as well as the
poets love for all those things.
We did not purpose writing sketch
of our friends life, but only to give
some impressions which an intimate ac.
quaintance with him during childhood
and youth fixed indelibly in mind. Al
this distance in time, and after having
known more or less intimately and wei
many of the most widely known minis
tiers and professional men of this cOun'
try, we now look back upon Mr.. Brad
ford as one of the strongest and mos
gifted men we have ever known. I'll,

As You Sow so win You Reap.

The man who undertakes to live two
lives will find that he is living but one,
and that one is a life of deception.
Causes will be true to their effects.
That which you SOW you will also reap.
If you live to the flesh, to the passions,
to the corrupt inclinations, you may
depend upon it that the fruit which is
in store for you will be that which be-
longsto these things. There can be no
doubt as to what your harvest will be.
If you think that after your days bust
ness is done you can shut the blinds
and carry on your orgies in secret with
evil companions; if you think you can
serve the devil by night and then go
forth and look like a sweet and virtu-
Gus young man, that goes in the best So
ciety, and does not drink, nor gamble,
nor commit any vice, then the devil has
his halter about your neck, and leads
you the stupidest fool in all the crowd
You deceive nobody but yourself
There is an expression in your eyes
that tells stories. Passions stain clear
through. A man might as we'll expect
to take nitrate of sIlver-whOse nature
is to turn him to lead cOlor-and not
have the doctor know it, as to expect
that he can form evil habits and pursue
mischevious courses and not have il
known. 1t does not need a sheriff to
search out and reveal the kind of life
that you are living. Every law of God
in nature is an officer after you. 1t does
not require a court, judge and jury, tt
try and condemn you. All nature is {
court room, and every principal thereo
is a part of that court which tries ant
condemns you. Do not think that there
can be such a mOnstlOus misadjustmen
of affairs as that you can do the work
of the devil and have the remuneration
of an angel.-H. W. Beecher.

A DRILL WHICH BoREs SQUARE
HOLEs.-One of the novelties of the
Paris Exposition is drill which bores
square holes, The invention of Mr.. Jul
Illus Hall, of London. The work is
done, too, says correspondent of The
Scientific News, in a way so simple and
so easy that any one may prove the fact
for himself. The invention has excited
genuine astOnishment among the me-
chanics gathered at the Exposition
There is a constant crowd surrounding
the inventor, watching him bore hole
after hole square, and puzzling over the
prOvOkingly simple solution of the
problem. All that is required is an or
binary hand drill-stOck. A stationary
one with chuck below for holding the
work is used by the inventor; but he
says common brace will answer
anything, in fact, will do that will
properly hold the drill" The toll it
self is the usual form of three-square
drill-so that no special apparatus is re-
Quired. Clamp or chuck this drill in it's
holder so that sit will wobbIe,n that is
the whole secret. Instead of making a
round hole, as it will if tightly grasped,
when loosely held it produces a square
one; and, according to the inventor, it
is immaterial whether the drill wobbles
in the work or the work under the drill.
