A Thought.

People despise each other too much.
There is reully some good in almost every
one; something admirable in most. The
stiff and solemn serious man may be
model of integrity and purity, though the
CAV Bohemian grius at him. Tie BO-
hemian, Mt whose approach the sober solid
man shudders, may really be warm heart
ed, generous and self-sacriticing, though
m nv libations flush his face, and he sell
dom saves enough to buy himself the cof-
fin for which he makes elfprematurely
ready. The business man, whom others
think creature of dollars and cents, doubt
less fought III his youth very ApoIlyon
of disc Iursgement, and Is secretly more
tender. hearted aud charitable than he
dare let the world know.
From this self-conrained and unrefiDed
person you often hear excellent homeIy
truths aud honest sentiments. This ele
giant creature, who seems IL live to be
pam pered, proves herself strong and stead
fast in time of need.
Even those deep in the gulf of vice may
not merit as much scOrn rs we give them.
Who has held out the helping handf Not
We, who gather back our robes lest they
should touch theirs. Did we not 81 deeply
despise those Of whom We dlsapproVe,
doubtless the shining example we are
vain enough tn fancy that we Sc: them
would do them more good.
But one thing is certain; whatever good
i'm pulses we are conscious OF exist IN
other bosoms. God did not make us in
peculiar fashion. We sutf.r and rejoice,
aspire aud fall, as others do. The man
who despise. his felowman only scorns

The Henry T. Miller Pianos.

Among the most popular instruments used
at concerts last season, none were received
with more favor than the Henry Y. Miller
pianos. They were used in over one hun
drcd and twenty-five concerts In Boston and
Virinlty. From among the many We notice
the Kellogg concert at Music Hall, the BOe-
ton Philharmonic Club, the Barnabee, the
Smith. Whitney, the Boylston Club and FOs-
ter Club concerts, aud In operas given by
the Rudolphseu English Opera Company aud
the Dow Kempton Opera Company. The
high awards decrecd This establishment at
the Philadelphia exhibition have given these
Instruments worldwide renuwn. Only two
panO.lOrle exhibitors were awarded two

WHIrRwAsH FOR POULTRY HOUSES
Without free use OF whitcwash no poul.
try breeder can expect to keep his fowls
healthy for any length OF time, and to u
neglect OF this can he attributed many Of
the di,appointments aud much of the loss
experienced by amateurs, who do not
realize until they have paid dearly for
the experience that cleanliness is one Of
the first principles of SUCCESS in poultry
keeping, and that lime, in different lnrm.,
is an invaluable agentin promoting clean.
illness in poultry houses and amongst
fowls. Where it can be done without too
much expense, we would advise persons,
in builiing their poultry houses to use
planed boards-at least planed on the in-
side-in preference to rough ones, for it
is far easier tO keep the fOwl-house clean
when smooth boards are used, while the
lice and other vermin cannot so readily
find lodging place. AS q preventive is
cheaper and better than cure, we would
advise those who build u poultry house
10 give it good whitewashing both ill.,
side and out, before the fowls are let in
side. To make the whtewush still more
distasteiul to the vermin, which have such
a taste for poultry, mix II small quantity
of carboic acid with the wash, stir it we'll
unit it dissolves, and then apply. 1t is

COOKED MEAT FOR PouLTRY.-COok
the meat you give your poultry always.
Chop 1t finely, esiDga common wooden
bowl aud household chOppiny knife, ii
you have but small quantity OF meat TO
prepare; but if you aIe keeping poultry
ON a large scale, substitute ior the bow
atight wooden box OF II bushel capacity,
aud for the chopping instrument, use II
common short-handled spade, with its
blade ground to II keen edge
Salt the meat as you would for your
own eating. Mix it half and half, when
led out, with sca,ded wheat or corn meal
1T will serve your purpose much better
than IT fed in any other way.
The mode too often adopted is to throw
raw meat to fowls. This is bad way,
and in summer season causes illness FREE
quently. Cooked meat goes further, is
more nourishing, and less Injurious if
OVer-fed than in the raw state.
For young fowls very little is needed
at time; and either Old or young birds,
when kept in confinement, should not be
stuffed with this kind OF allowance. A
large share OF their feed should be grains
anu cooked vegetables. For growing
fowls at any age this is the best staple
Iood, when properly varied, Poultry

HALLEcKs FAME. - Baysrd Taylor
ssls why Fiz-Greene Halleck, an "au-
,nnr whose period Of activity WAS so brief,
whose good works we're so few, and whose
name has scarcely passed beyond his
oountry's borders," has been honored
with a statue before Cooper, Poe aud Haw-
thorne, aud proceeds to answer the ques-
tion thus:
"Haleck's importance is at once per-
ceived if we project him against the back
ground of his time. His position is al
most that of the German poet Gellert-
the first to sing natural note, in waste
of dullness and imitation, and growing
silent, as he lived to be the contemporary
of far greater men. Each of his lyrics
came forth like burst Of light, because
the poetic atmosphere was one of level
gloom. Ho was the American twin
brother of Campbell, to whom, AS poe',
he always felt nearest, yet whom he never
initiated"

follows: "a sad tragedy has just taken

murdered by a young man who fell in
love with her about three years ago. For
various reasons the young lady's family

Going into the room, a few days after his
arrival, where the lady and her sister
were alone, he commenced upbraiding
her, and, scarcely waiting for an answer,
plunged dagger into her breast The
wound was mortal, and with one shrek
she fell to the floor, her sister trying to
shield her from the fury of her assassin,
who, unable to strike again to her heart,
stabbed right and left into limbs and

"CoId Uatcr is Death"

Since medical science has become
more enlightened, the use of cold water,
the universal blessing Of man, has been
increased to an extent vastly nearer its
value. Even in fevers it is no longer a
bugbear of ignorance, but the patients
purest and safe refreshment DR.. Fair
child, Of New York, in recent lecture,
forcibly contrasted the old practice and
the new:
Less than thirty-fve years ago millions
up to that period had gone down to their
graves begging for even one swallow of
cold water. Mothers, sisters, brothers and
the fond lover had, each in their turn.
Withheld from the dear one this most
precious and natural antidote This, too,
when it was apparent that life could hold
on but a few short hours at most.
Doctors said in those days, ''Cold water
is death; give them calomel and spoon
full Of warm water instead Not only
was the fever patient denied water, but
drugged, physicked, bled and starved I'M
til all reactive power was lost, and he
