Retaliation.

A lady once, wken she was little
girl, earned a good lesson, which she
tells for the benefit of whom it may
concern:
p One frosty morning / was looking out
of the window into my fathers farm
yard, where stood many COWS, oxen,
ano horses ready to drink. 1t was
cold morning The cattle all stood still
and meek, tillone of them attempted
to turn round. In making the attempt
she happened to hit the next neighbor.
wherenpon the neighbor kicked and hit
another. In five minutes the whole
herd were kicking each other with
fury; My mother laughed and said; :....
you are hit. just so have seen one
cross word set q whole family by tho
ears some frosty morning"
Afterward, if my brothers or my
self became little irritable, she would
say, "Take care, my children. Re.
member how the fight in the farm
yard began. Never give back kick
for hit, and you will save your
selvesand others great deal of trsu-

The Stewart Crypt !.

The monument which is being built
at the expense of Mrs. A. I. Stewart
in memory of her husband is to cost
$50, 900, and when completed will be
the most elaborate and imposing of its
kind that can be found in any part of
the country. Work is being pushed
forward. qnite number of men being
employed upon it. A few days ago
some ninety tons of fine marble, cut
by the best skilled workmen, was sent
to Gordon City, L. l., to be placed in
position. The crypt is being bnilt un
ner the chancel of the Cathedral of the
Incarnation, also beng built at the ex
pense of Mrs. Stewart, and in the cen,
ire will rest the body of the dead mer>
chant.
The crypt in form is polygon with
sixteen sides. twenty-five feet in diam
ssye stssy alab abraasSmfaeshtea aSfast by clustered pill
lars of different colored marble import
ed from Italy, and so placed as to rem
der harmony and to allow of the light
giving the proper tone through the six
teen windows of stained glass. There
will be sixteen clusters, each having
three different colored marbles. Between
the pillars the space will be paneled
and carved in pure white American
marble, the ceiling being of the same
material. ~
The flooring will be of white and
black italian marble, set in pretty de-
sign There will be two approaches to
the crypt, leading from hadsome vesti-
bules, which connect with the cathedral
above.
Mrs. Stewart takes great interest in
the progress of the work The build
ing of the cathedral is progressing
rapidly, and when finished will be one
of the finest pieces of work to be found,
no expense being spared in the design
or materials employed.

A Patent Outside.

The following, from the Norristown
Herald, may need word of explana-
tion to be appreciated by the general
reader. A patent outside" is the
technical term applied to many coun :
try newspapers, the outside pages of
which are printed in the large cities
and sold by wholesale. The editor
then has only to fill the inside pages
with local news or editorial:
he stopped his wagon in front of a
printing Office. entered in the presence
of the editor and observed; II have q
patent outside" "Well," interrupted
the editor, ''that is nothing to brag
about. A man who can't afford to print
all his pa" IL mean," broke in
the perpIexed stranger, II have pat
ent outside which," "Yes 1 know. !"
again interrupted the editor; II have
several such papers Oh my exchange

the reading public. 1t is a
mighty poor town that can't support q
paper wholly printed at ho-" II

stranger, edging towards the door.

Advice TO Husbands.

Husbands should always appear be-
fore their wives in a neat and becom-
ing attire. Remember that was one OF
your chief attractions during courtship
A man is not at all beautiful en- desha-
bile, and how can you expect to retain
womap's love if you Suddenly drop
all the Establishments that won it!
Husbands, be neat. Never come to
! breakfast with hair looking like n "fig
tree shaken by mighty wind" or soil
ed collar or neck~tIe all away. Never
lounge about of late hour in the
evening. in stocking feet, sans coat and
vest, and with slouchy suspenders.
Had she chanced to see you thus in
courting days, it would have taken q
vast amount of romance out of her,
depend upon it. Suppose your circum-
stances in life are such that you must
assist in doing the ''morning chores.
then steal to your room before she has
seen You there and change the working
coat for the dresslng-gown, polish your
boots and make yourself prescntable,
that no suggestion of the barn-yard
may accompany you to the breakfasts
table. The look of fond regard that
will surely greet you from behind
the fragrant coffee-pot will be suffi
|, cient reward.
Never wear clouded or angry conn
teuance in the presence of your wife.
No matter what the cares and annoy
ance of the day may have been, be.
fore her you should be all sunshine.
Thus you will make her happy and for
get your own troubles. In her own
sphere she has petty vexations to bear
that would break the spirit of any man
alive. Don't add the burden of yours,
too.

Farmers Creed.

We believe in small farms and thor

That the soil loves to eat as we'll as

we'll manured;
In going to the bottom OF things,
and therefore in deep ploughing and

subsoil pillow.
In large crops which leave land bet
ter than they found it, making
both the farm and the farmer rich at
once;
That every farm should own good
farmer;
That the fertilizer Of any soil is a
spirit OF industry, enterprise and To-
telligence-without these, lime gypsum,
and guano will be of little use;
In good fences, good farmhnuses,
good orchards, and children enough to
gather the fruit;
In clean kitchen, neat wife in it,
clean cupboard, clean diary and a
clear conscience;
That to ask a mans advice is not
stooning, but often of much benefit;
That to keep place and everything
in its place, saves many q step and is
pretty sure to lead to good tools and to
keep them in order;
That kindness to stock. like good
shelter, is q saving of fodder;
That it is good thing to keep an
eye on experiments, and note all-good
and bad;
That it is a good rule to sell your
grain when it is ready;
That it is a good thing to grow into
farming, not jump into it.;
That all of farming is summed up In
the manure heap on the farm;
In enriching The soil according to its
wants.

Mr.. Vanderbilt and the Public.

The following description of Mr. VIM.

the Troy Times:
AZ $50 O'Clock this morning. q
special train from Saratoga arrived at
the Union depot consisting OF three
special horse cars, containing the horses
and equipages OF VIM. a. Vanderbilt,
and the privata drawing room car OF
that gentleman. This superb coach is
called the Vanderbilt. It Is made with
possible improvements. and is probably
the finest establishment of the kind In
existence.
The trucke are mounted on spoked
paper wheels, with exceptionally fine
journals. The outside is painted a
light orange color. On the sides are
four scenes panelled ic oil colors. one
representing the Grand Central depot,
another depoiting the Falls of Niagara,
another the grand Fourth Avenue Tun-
mel and the other the massive river
bridge betweep Greenbush and Albany.
The car is ssumbtuously fitted up in

windows on either side, on which some
ladies were seated, viewing the scenery
along the route. The occupants of the
car were VIM II. Vanderbilt and his
family and five friends.
The run from Saratoga to Troy
thirty-two miles, was made IN fifty>two
minutes, and the time from this city to
New York one hundred and sixty miles,
was to have been thlee hours and twen-

A Clear Floor

The other day I went to see my
friend Mrs. Cook. She had just finish
ed mopping her kitchen floor. MOTTO
ed it looked very nice, and asked how
she kept it SO we'll, why" she said,
don't you know I oil it about every

that it will strike equally all over, and

Spendthrifts,

Fragments Of time, odd moments.
what spendthrifts we all are OF these!
And yet how much can be done,
how much has been done in
these pauses from regular work?
"Genious is patieLce, :" but it is
the patience of unwearied purpose.
The resolute only win spoils. They
who are thoroughly intent on doing the
work of life well have few or no idle
hours. They turn every minute to ac-
count. This is not the place for ex-
tended illustrations; yet it can be said
in a general way that the biogra-
phies of nearly all the men and
women who have been eminent for
their achievements were careful to use
spare moments with avaricious parsi-
mony, and often extracted from the
very best honey of their diligent ae-
cumulations. When work is O real
pleasure, it invariably results in the
largest measures of profit, and they
who know best how to gather the frag-
ments of time will sooner or later find
themselves enriched with special re-
wards.

Beware Of Lucifer Matches.

A terrible death from phosphorus is
recorded. A young man left Paris a
few days back to visit his friends al
Lyons, and as soon as, he got into the
carriage be lit match by scratching
it with his thumb>nail. and piece OF
the incandescent phosphorus penetrated
under the nail and made slight burn,
to which he paid no attention. But
after an hour the pain became very
great, The thumb swelled, then the
hand, and next the forearm. He was
obliged to alight at the first station
and sent for a medical man, who de-
clared that instant amputation of the
arm was necessary. The patient in
sisted on postponing the operation for
a few hours until the arrival of his ia
ther. for whom he had telegraphed.
But before the latter could reach the
spot it was too late; the poislnous mat
ter had gained the arm, then the
shoulder, and any operation was herce-
forth impossible. The young man died
twenty seven hours after the burn in
horrible suffering.

The Sabbath.

A tired editor may be allowed to turn
away from politics and discourse little
on the holy Sabbath. For surely to no
one is it more welcome II comes as a
memorial of the completion of the work
of mans redemption. 1t is the resur
rection of Christ from the grave, on
the first day of the week, that we see
the resson for the change from Satur-
day to Sunday. The Jewish Sabbath
commen crates the completion Of the
work of creation on the seventh day;
the Christian Sabbath commentaries
the completion of still greater work
Redemption! What monument is thisi

The Sabbath is also 'benediction.
It'spreads it's blessings broadcast. 1t

Sleep a. a Medicine.

A physician says the cry for rest has
always been louder than the cry fol
food. Not that it is more important,
but it is often harder to obtain. The
best rest comes from sound sleep. Ol
two men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritability
Of tember, peevishness and uneasiness.
It will restore to vigor and overworked
brain. II will build up and make
strong q weary body. 1t will cure q
headache. It will cure broken spirit.
II will cure sorrow. Indeed, We might
make long list Of nervous and other
malsdies that sleep will cure. The
cure of sleeplessness requires clean.
good bed, sufficient exercise to produce
weariness, pleasant occupation, good
air. and not too warm room, q clear
conscience and avoidance of stimulants
and narcotics. For those who are over
worked, haggard. nervous. who pass
sleepless nights, We commend the adop-
tion OF such habits as shall secure sleep;
otherwise life will be short; and what
there Is Of it sadly imperfect.
