MoTHER.-Honor the dear old mother
Time has scattered the snowfakes on her
brow and ploughed deep burrows in her aged
cheeks, but isn't she sweetly beautiful now
The lips are thin and shrunken, but those are
the lips that have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheek, and they are sweet
est lips in all tho world. The eye is dim,
yet it glows with the soft radiance of holy
love which can never fade. All, yes, she is
dear old mother The sands of life are near
ly run OUT but feeble as. she is, she will go
further and reach down lower for you, than
any other upon earth. You cannot walk in
to midnight in which she cannot see you !;
can never enter prison whose bars win keep
her out can never mount a scaffold too, high
for her to reach, that she may kiss and bless
you in evidence of her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and forsake you, when
it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather you in her
feeble arms aud carry you home, and tell of
all your virtues until you almost forget that
your soul is disfgured by vices. Love her
tenderly, and cheer her declining years with
holy devotion.

MISCELLANY.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY
Elk Governor Parker made speech before
the Teachers Institute Of Monmouth county
recently, his remarks being founded on the
EARLY History of New Jersey" The land
of New Jersey was discovered by Sebastian
Cabot. five years after the discovery of Amer
lea by Christopher Columbus, but no colonies
were established, although claimed by Great
Britain The first white man to tread New
Jersey soil was Henry Hudson, the Captain
of the Half Moon, which arrived on the Sd Of
September, 1909. New Jersey was at first
granted to two men, Cartwright and Billings.
Counties were organized May 18th, 1882. The
salary of representatives to the first assembly
which met at Elizabethport, was three shil-
lings per day, while that of the Governor was
fifty pounds year, payable in produce. The
first iron works in this country were establish
ed at linton Falls. The first Governor Of
New Jersey was William Livingstone, and he
resided a portion of his term in what is known
as the " Yellow House," on Broadway below
Front street, Salem. The first public convey
ance in this State, was stage running from
New York to Philadelphia, making the round
Tip in two weeks. The first temperance
meeting ever held in this State was at Middle
town, September 0, 1870, when a law was
passed to suppress the sale of liquor to Indi-
ans, who became dangerous when intoxicated.
In those times, before Legislatures were es-
tablished, the people came together and raade
their laws at town meetings, which would be
. good plan nowadays if we were not so nu-
merous.

Whenever a man has beeume famous, an
effort is made to find in the records Of his
childhood or early youth some indications of
his future greatness and in the over jealous
pursuit the merest trifles arc often freghted
with extraordinary significance. Such has
been to remarkable degree the fortune of
Bismark But, if a story told of his little
nephew be true, he is destined to be man
who will be distinguished for his knowledge
OF the world and for talent as a leader The
child was sitting on his uncle's knee recently
when he suddenly cried out 81 hope shall
DO great like you when grow up "Why,
my child?" inquired the Prince. Because
every one fears YOU" " Wouldn't you like
1T better If every one should love you?" ''Oh,
no. after few minutes reflection, "for
when people love you, uncle, they cheat you.
But when they fear you they let you cheat
them" The eminent Chancellor laughed,
and kissed the boy, rs he said "My child
you are likely to have your wish" A child
with such an insight into human nature will
be very apt to be heard fron His speech is
worthy of Talleyrand, it sounds like some of
the naxims of Rouchefoucauld.

A LAUeHABLE MIRAcLE.-Fath Bridaine
was always poor, for the reason that he gave
away everything that he had. One evening
he asked for nights lodging of the curate
of the village through which he passed, and
the worthy man, having only ono bed, shared
1t with him. AT daybreak he rose, according
to his custom, and to say his prayers at
neighboring church. Returning from his
sacred duty, he met beggar, who asked
aims. "Alas my friend, l have nothing p,
said the good priest, mechanically putting his
hand into his breeches pocket, where, to his
astonishme1t, he found something hard,
wrapped up in paper, which he knew be
had not left there. He hastily opened the pa
per, and seeing four halEcrowns in it, cried
out that it was miracle. He gave the mon
ey to the beggar, and FASTENED to the church
to announce the miracle. The curate soon af
ter arrived there and Father Bridane related
the miraclas with, the greatest JUNCTION the
cuIate turned pale, put his hand in his peck

Bridaine in getting mp in the dark, had TAX

The OLD DEPARTMENT CLERK.-There
is something charming in the deep and
abiding affection with which the memory
of an old government official clings to the
home that he left long years ago, and to
the people who, amid the more pressing
cares of the bnstling, pushing world, have
long since forgotten him. To hear him
speak of "my state" you would suppose
him to be an important factor Ia its local
politics, a conspicuous figure IN It's social
life and not unknown IN It's business cir
cles. But if you were to go to the place
of his nativity, to the locality whose peo-
pie, scenes and incidents are the staple of
most Of his conversation, and ask about
him, the Oldest inhabitant would scratch
his aged head and ponder long before he
could evoke from the caverns of memory
the fading name and dim form of the
youth who left that section I'm the earlier
and better days of the republic to accept
clerkship IN Washington. 4 pleasing
illustration of this peculiar phrase of
Washington life is venerable gentleman
who came here in early manhood, and has
never returned for even short visit to
his old home. Time has lent many an
embelLshing touch to his recollection, and
"distance lends enchantmentt to the view"

A RAILROAD NELOCIPEDE--Mr john
son. travelling musician, being in Car
land, Col, and anxious to depart, manu-
sactured a railroad velocipede, with which
he proposed to travel INTO Texas. Having
become possessed of two twowheeled We
locipedes, such as were in common use
wears ago, he proceeded to fasten them
tonether to run on a railroad. Wooden
axles were constructed SO that the machine
could be adapted to any gauge of track, a
broader tread was placed on the wheels,
to which were added fianges made OF
whiskey barrel hoops; levers were fitted
to give means for using the hands as well
as the feet to gain motive power. lhe
whole arrangement was given coat OF
red paint, and it was placed on the track
at Garland ready for service The machine
weighs about forty pounds, and Is easily
handled. The operator sits On seat
resting across what where the two seats OF
the old velocipedes. Johnson mounted
his novel travelling apparatus at Garland,
and arrived here without accident, having
made the trip at the rate of about hfteen
miles per hour. He renamed IN this city
a day or two, and, altering the gauge OF
his car to suit that Of the Atch,son, Topeka
and Santa Fe road, he started out tor the

POETICAL SELECTIONS.
Lost.

A wild rose by the wayside hung,
Dew -giittering on the morning air,
A pure, scarce conscious perfume flung;
l looked, and found the howeres fair
So fair, / sought with sudden zest
To wear its beauty on my breast
The trembling petals 1T my touch
\ sweeter, subtler fragrance shed;
Tis strang l loved that flower so much,
And-it was dead.
In that high mood when thought hath wing.
And finds alone its speech i'll song,
l struck an old harp's slumbering strings,
And drew an idle hand along
Nor deemed the careless chords had caught
The life note that my spirit sought,
Till sudden on my startled ear,
Its dream created accents woke.
Aiack, bought the rapture dear
The string had broke.
| heard a wild bird on the s.,ore
Singing a wild song 10 the sea;
And bold the burden that it bore,
And sweeter than all else to me
So sweet, | Gagged the bird to hear
His magic minstrelsy more near.
Untamed, the captive's swelling throat
In one sal song his whole soul cast;
Too well | know his lovliest note
Had been his last.
And yet, while memory hath power
To count the hours too vainly spent,
The fragrance of that faded flower.
That harps last dying music, blent
With the wild birds weird death song, Will
Haunt every waking moment still,
Teaching my heart the bitter cost
OF all the eye of hope hath seen,
Of all that life hath Won and lost

A GREAT STEAM HsMMER.-The steam
hammer recently competed at Creusot, Is
the largest and most powerful instrument
of the kind III the world. The hammer
in the workshops of Herr krupp at Essen,
weighs fifty tons, and descends through
maximum space of three metres; but the
hammer Of the Creusot engine, weighing
between seventy-five and eighty tons, has
course of five metres; the energy of the
blow struck by it being AZ, 800 kllo-
gramme- metres, while the krupp instrl-
ment can only develop $50, 600 kilogram-
me-metres of work The foundation OH
which the anvil rests consists OF masonry
five metres in depth; the space between
the level of the ground and the cast IRON
table being filed in with stout wooden
beams, disposed alternately in horizontal
and vertical layers, SO as t" give an elastic
bed. Altogether, 100 cubic metres of
cast iron, 100 cubic metres Of wood, and
1000 cubic metres of masonry have been
employed TO form this foundation Spe-
cial apparatus has also been provided for
the transport and keeping Ill position OF
blocks of steel weighing from 100 to 12O
tons, and which can be forged by the new
hammer and four steam cranes are ar
ranged round this latter, three OF them
capable Of lifting and revolving with a
weight of 100 tons, and one able to carry
I5O tons. Each crane also is provided
with special machinery for causing the
weight lifted by it to rotate about its own
axis.-PaU Mall Gazette.

fifteen or twenty minutes, We. again thor
oughly, and then use a dry cloth to rub
the paper off Sometimes it will peal of

you can rub it. On wood it adheres very
closely. On plastered walls the second
wetting will soften the paper SO that it
will peal off almost entire All wall paper
ought to be removed and the walls washed
in weak lye or cnpperas water before a
new paper is laid, as this renders the

In hot soap suds, or the grease will strike

WH1sPEGINGs FOR BAeHELoRs--None
hut the married man has home In his
old ace none has friends then but he'
none but he lives and freshens IN his
green old age, amid the affections OF wlfe

for the old bachelor; there is no one IN
whose eyes he can see himself reflected,
and from whose lips he can receive the
unfailing assurances Of care and love. No,
the old bachelor may be tolerated for his
money; he may eat and drink and revel
as such do; and he may sicken and die IN
hotel or a garret, with plenty OF atten-
dance about him, like so many cormorants
waiting for their prey; but where are the
moistened eye, and gentle hand, an6iov-
