A Tale That is Told.

We don't like to make our readers feel
bad, out are they aware that ninety years
hence not single man or woman now
twenty years OF age, will be alive! Ninety
yearsl Alas how many of the lively &C.
tors at present on the stages of life will
make there exit long ere ninety years9
And could we be sure of ninety years,
what are they! "a tale that is told;" a
dream; an empty sound that passeth oil
the wings of the wind away, and is for
gotten. Years shorten as man advances
in age. Like the degrees in longitude,
mans life declines as he travels toward
the frozen pole, until it dwindles to a
point and vanishes forever. Is it pos
sible that life is of SO short durationl
Will ninety years ersse all the golden
names over the doors in town and country
and substitute others in their stead9 Will
all the new blooming beauties fade and
disappear2 all pride and passion, the
love, hope and joy pass away in ninety
years, and be fofgottenG "Ninety years,
said death, 'sdo you think,T shall wal
ninety years2 Behold, to- day and to-mor
row, and every day are mine. When
ninety years are passed, this generation
will have Mingled with the dust, andbe re

The Effect of Scandal MOngering on
Children.

One of the greatest defects of this age
is the ''fastness" of our boys and girls.
And every bit of it is traceaIle back to
the homes, where idle news-carriers drop
in continually. and are permitted to unfold
their budget of gossip and scandal. Chi
dren hear more than is believed, and the
wlnks mods and hints they catch at inter
walls excite their curiosity, and to satisfy
this, chances are not wanting. But to
prevent betraying what they hear, they
also learn to be very sly, so that, in time,
they ale able to build block houses, make
kites, or even pretend to study their les
son, and yet hear every word that is said
Is tia wonder that, by the time the reserve
and purity of the mothers mind is worn
out, the daughters is in just the same
condition, with the difference that while
the mother has family ties that serve as a
check, and has the judgment of maturer
years, the daughter is hampered by none
of these, so that, as she stands on the
treshold of life, she is like boat tossed
upon the sea without pilot, save her
own desire, and the crew, instead OF be-
ing all good influences of the past, are
Just the reverse. 1t will be miracle if
she sails through safely, and if she should
sink we must accept the penalty, and
know that it is the work of our own hands.
Can't we, from this day, shut out all Cos
sips scandal and low stories from our
honest Do not tolerate it, and il any one
insists upon Entertaining you on these
subjects, do what you would do were
they offering you poison.--Chscago Tn

done by placing on pan of live Goa a
quantity of damp tobacco stems, filling

HOUSE. FARM, GARDEN
The Honest Farmer.


Happy count the farmers life,
It's various rounds of wholesome toll;
An honest man with loving wife,
And offsprings native to the soil.
Thrice happy, surely!-in his breast
Plain wisdom and the trust in God;
His path more straight from east to west
Than politician ever trod.
His gains no loss to other men;
His stalwart blows inflict no wounds;
Not busy with his tongue or pen,
He questions truthful sky and ground
Partner with seasons and the sun,
Natures co.worker, all his skill
Obedience, ev'n as waters run,
Winds blow, herb, beast, their laws fulfill
A vigorous youthhood, clean and bold;
A manly manhood; cheerful age;
His comely children proudly hold
Their parentage best heritage.
Unhealthy work. false mirtE, chicane,
Guilt, needless woe, and useless strife
o cities, vain, insane, insane =
How happy is the farmers life!

An Essay ON Closets.

In the opinion of the San, Judge Hill
ton is mistaken in assuming that the
failure of the Woman's Hotel was due to
the fact that young men were neither
kept on drauget in the hotel nor were
permitted to be brought In by the board
ers. The real cause of the unpOpularity
OF the enterprise was the absence of rock
ing chairs, tootstoois, hooks, and closets
artiC les which are even more necessary
than husbands or lovers to the comfort of
women. Doubtless, the San is right for
there is nothing better established than
the utter inability of woman to live with
out closets.
The nature and origin of. the female
passion tor closets ought long ago to have
challenged the investigation OF scientific
men. The love of closets is a dis tin
gushing characteristic of the sex. Man
does not care for closets, and can live
comfortably in house without single
closet. A bureau, trunk or even two
or three chairs are all that he needs. He
keeps his shirts, collars, and other more
abtruse garments in the bureau drawers
or in tibet runk, and throws his coat and
trowsers on the chairs. If an unmarried
man has closet, he rarely knows what to
90 with it, and, as a rule, uses it only as
a place of deposit for boots, guns and
crumpled newspaper. The married man
looks on the closets as diabolical device
for the concealment of his other coat and
his new umbrella. Articles such as these
constantly find their way into the closets,
where they are conceald behind innumer-
able skirts, all Ct which must be thrown
on the floor befor the object of search can
be found. In fact, it may be truly said
that the male mind loathes closets in
every form, and there is no case on record
of solitary man building closets for bis
own use. Robinson Crusoe built chairs
but he never dreamed of making 8
/ closet.
On the other hand, woman's comfort
not to say her life, is wholly dependent
upon closets She refuses to use trunk
except when travelling, and she believes
that bureau drawer is meant to hole
nothing except pasteboard boxes, in each
one of which she puts piece OF ribbon
an artificial flower. or small lace collar
tbs alleged. though of course there are
difficulties in the way of proving it, tina
women do not object to placing thei
garments on chairs when preparing TO
bed; hut there is no good scientific DIES
criptiou of the female process OF going Il
bed, and we know nothing concern
ing it with certainty. There are storie
to the effect that when midnight fire
have occurred at large hotels, femal
/ garments have been found hanging owe
the backs of chairs, but the stories nee,
authorization.
However this may be, it is morally c 81
tain that no woman will use chair as
permanent place of deposit for clothing
not only is this true in her own clothinS

He threw on her neck a chain of gold,
Sne gave him tress of her yellow hair;

lie told her the story so often told,
nd the moon, as of old was the witness there;
Love was gentle, as times were rude!
7e her kiss at the abbey gate,
w pered VOW, ay, sweeter than this:
wood Is filled with spearsmen tall
her heart in an amulet
gave her again parting kiss;
1uder, louder the bugle calls!
flint fires flash under hoofs of steel;
his FURNISHED armor CLEANS in the wood;
Fair and brave! but he rides alone.
The maiden kneels at st. Mary's shrine,
Where the altar windows, stained like blood,
Stream on martyr, wrought in stone.
The rattle of spears is heard in strife,
And the swords outnumber one breast of steel:
There are twenty halbreds ride tonight!
A thrust for love, and thrust for life,
And a shower of blows on the casQues that
Woe! alas, it's the fair young knight!
The nuns chant low at st. Mary's shrine,
The chain of gold on the altar lies;
A heart OF gold lies likewise there.
Fashion with lilies the holy sign,
Over the lips and over the eyes,
Bosom of snow and soul as fair!
The holy monks are carrying slow
A cuirass and casque with bloody greaves;
And he therein, the brave, the fair!
The mailed hand that broke the blow,
With the grasp of death, still sternly cleayes
To q blood-stained tress of golden hair!
III double tomb by st. Mary's shrine,
In stone and wonderful tracery,
Lies where the blood-red windows stream.
Above on a shield is chain of gold
And tress of hair, that silently
Waves, while the lovers sleep and dream.

but she refuses to permit her husbands
clothing to occupy chairs. Many a man
who has left coat temporarily on chair
has seen it snatched up by his wife, with
the remark that she wished he would quit
"clutteriug up the whole ROOM" Of
course one coat laid on one half a dozen
chairs cannot truthfully be said to ''clut-
ter up whole room;" but of such is the
veracity of woman.
So deeply rooted is this feminine pas
sion for closets that it is doubtful if any
woman can live when totally deprived OF
closets.

What an Earthquake is Like.

A correspondent writing to friend in
Montreal from Caracas, Venzuela, gives
the following additional interesting de-
tails of the earthquake shocks: We had,
about 8 40 P. NJ. as lively shake as I
want to experience. I first heard loud,
rumbling noise, and then it seemed as
though thousand-ton engine was rush
ing over the pavements, and then
scream like hundred engines run mad,
and then the house began to shake and the
floor began to raise up,and about that time
I was in the open yard. There was a
few risings in the floor of the yard, and
all was over so far as Caracas was con-
cerned. A few pictures and mirrors fell
to the ground in some of the houses; in
the cathedral and image or two fell
down-and nothing more. But the
town of Qua, about twelve miles from
heres-a beautiful and flourishing place
was by the same shock entirely de-
sroyed, and from three hundred to four
hundred lives lost Our President has
sent money, provisions and troops to the
place, and has done everything possible
to alleviate the sufferings of the people.
ulS WIG, N1ud D0lcu, duu ldully
rushed into the plaza and had tents put
up, and for many days slept therein.
Thousands of people left town that day;
in fact all that could; the rest SLEPT in
the plaza, some in tents and on the cots,
but the majority on the benches and on
the sidewalks, and for few days the
appearance of the city was really ludi-
crous-every park, square, wide street,
or open place was filled with tents,
and the middle of the streets with
soldiers under arms. Mosquerias coffee
yard--the one you visited while here
was filled with people-one hundred to
one hundred and fiftY-sleeping there
nightly for week or more, some on the
bare ground and some under tents, and
the tents were wonderful to behold, both
there and in town. Tents, shanties, gypsy
encampments. tents of canvass, white,
striped and specklea, of calico, of, coffee
bggs OF sheets and of anything
answered. Finally things became more
quiet; we had daily shocks, but light
ones; people began to sleep in their hous-

SandaIphOn.
BY H. w. EoNGFELLow

Have you read in the Talmud of old,
In the Legends the Rabl ins have told,
OF the limitless realms of the air.
Have you read 1.-THE marvellous story
Or Sandalphon, the angel of glory
sandalphon, the angel of Prayer
How erect, at the outermost gates
OF the City Celestial, he waits,
With his feet on his ladder of lig 1t,
That crowded with angels un numbered,
BY Jacob was seen, as he slumbered
Alone in the desert at night?
The angels of Wind and Fire
Chant only one hymn, and expire
With songs irresistible stress;
Expire in the rapture and wonder,
As harp strings are broken assunder
By music they rob to express.
But serene with the raptuous throng,
Cnmoved by the rush of the song,
With eyes unimpassioned and slow,
Among the dead angels, the deathless
Sandalphon stands listening breathless
To sounds that ascend from below.
From the spirits on earth that adore,
From the souls of that entreat and implore
In the fervor and passion of prayer;
From the hearts that are brokentwith losses
And weary with dragging the crosses
Too heavy for mortaIs to bear.
And he gathers the prayers as he stands,
And they change into flowers In his hands,
Into garlands of purple and red;
And beneath the great arch Of the portal,
Through the streets of the City Immortal
Is wasted the fragrance they shed.
It is but a legend know
fable, phantom, a show,
Of the ancient Rabbincal lore;
Yet the old medieval tradition,
The beautiful strange superstition,
But haunts me and holds me the more.
When look from my window at night,
And the welkin above is all white,
All thrObbing and painting with stars,
Among them majestic is standing,
Sandalphon, the angel, expanding
His piniOns in nebulous bars.
And the legend, feel, is part
OF the hunger and thirst of the heart,
The frenzy and fire of the brain,
That grasps of the foliage forbidden,
The golden pomeyranates of Eden,
To quiet its fever and pain.
