VOLUME XIX.-NO. A.
The Deac0n's Theology.

A deacon in the church was he,
God-fearing. blunt, and earnest,
With thoughtful face and twinkling eyes:
His creed was called the sternest
OF all the creeds in town: and yet
Twas simplest, purest strongest.
Said he, "Tll back it gin the best,
An see which stands the longest.
Now. eff lead an upright life,
Strict orthodox, an biameless,
While others run an not through
course | reckon shameless;
An tend church, an toll, an strive
Through scOurgin trials disheart' MIN
] ought TO go to Heaven sure
An they to He'll that's sartin.
Now, John. my son, don't b'lieve in Hell,
An so stand agin him;
For.-thus argy,-'ef there amt,
My how kin Heaven win him?'
But John sez thet thar amt no He'll.
An thet we needn't fear it..
Thct dom right because OF Hell
Don't show no hey' My spirit"
''Ef thar's no He'll fer Us in view.
To keep US straight through terror.
Dtrned ef i see the 'tarnel use
In tryin' TO keep from error.
But thar's the Gospel-wich respects
No rank nor no condition
SeZ all who don't believe in Christ
Shell go down to perdition.
Now, John hez been about the world
Sailed over all its oceans
An, bein abroad, he's gone astray
Through all them cur US notions.
He's cheerful, kind, an thet; but then
Hes heather, like Turk is;
An seZ the Book, though not inspired,
A good an ancient work is.
"Of course can't take stock in John:
| can't go gainSt my Bible
To go astray with thet in hand.
One would be dOubly lible.
He SeZ he needs no book no church.
To tell him what's his duty
An ez fer STORM wealth in Heaven,
He keers fer no sich booty
"Bnt what good is it fer a man
Who tends at ev'ry meetin.
To think that good an wicked folks
In Heaven he must be greetln?

An chooses His anointed-

To take their place appointed.

An Death proyokes no horror

The Norwegian lemming is an anil.

The Norwegian lemming is an anil
NAL about the size of a mouse. 1t lives
under stones in the summer, and un-
der snow in winter. 1t Kisses and bites.
About once in ten years they emigrate
In the autumn, in large armies. They
march in straight line, and cross
lakes and rivers. They go through hay
stacks rather than go around. Nothing
stops them, not fire, cascades, nor
swamps. II man stands in the way
they will jump at him as high as his
knee. If struck, they will turn around
and bark and bite nke a dog. Foxes,
lynxes, owls, Aawks and weasels will
follow and destroy large numbers of
them, but it does not check them.
They continue their course until they
reach the sea, into which they plunge,
as persistent and progressive as ever,
until the waves drown and exterminate
them

The days of playful chickenhood are

The days of playful chickenhood are
numbered. The chicken-hatching ma
chine, the chicken-food cramming ma
chine, and now the hydromere, the
mother hen, are two inventions that
are causing the innocent joys of chick
enhood to vanish. This hydromere is an
artificial mother hen for the chickens to
brood under at night, and fly to in mo-
ments of peril during the day. The hy-
drcnaere is a French invention, and
strikingly resembles real hen in all
but one particular, viz: Beneath its
downy breast, instead of warm heart,
there is only warm water.

PHILIP NORWOOD,S FAITH.

| Inc grounds ABOUT Mrs. AtnerllnS 8
country home looked like fairy-land on
| one particular night in June.
The occasion was a strawberry and
| cream festival, given for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church.
Colored lanterns hung on every tree,
torches blazed between, arches of ever
| green -panned the tables, and there was
bright enjoyment.
Strains of sweet music f1oated on the
balmy air, and from the parlor of the
roomy house came the sounds of feet
flying in the merry dance.
Many beautiful ones were there; but
she who carried off the palm was stand
ing alone at one of the parlor windows.
She was tall and queenly, her skin
was like polished ivory, her eyes were
| hazel, large and luminous. She was a
woman who would be singled out among
| a thousand.
Her dress, of palest azure silk, trim
| med with ruffles heavily embossed with
darkest blue, became her well, and the
silver arrows in her hair glistened as
she moved her shapely head.
Many were admiring her as she stood
| there.
Down by the gate stood two to whom
we will listen.
They were Philip Norwood and James
| Newman, old friends who had not met
| for years.
They had just discovered each other
and had had about five minutes talk OH
''old times" when Newman stopped
| short in what he had been saying, and
broke off with:
| y say, Norwood, who's that beauty
yonder. In all my travels l haven't
seen such face as that"
That" said Philip, looking in the
direction of his companions gaze, which
was toward the parlor window; THAT,
he repeated, his handsome face glowing
with tenderness and pride; that, New
man, is my betrothed."
Indeed! BY Jove! you're the luck.
lest man know of, Norwood"
Yes, am lucky, Newman. She is
as good as she is beautiful"
Then she must be very good, for hel
beauty is marvellous. Allow me to con.
graduate you, old fellow. When is i
to be?'
''In the fall"
You'll ask me to be present, OF
course?"
"Certainly"
"And what might the fair ones name
be?"
''She has an odd name-Pamilla.
Don't often hear it, do you?'
mo. Pamilla-Pamilla-I heard
it before, though. Ah! ! remember
Pamilla what?" eagerly.
'Pamilla Hyatt"
Good gracious!" said Newman
starting back as if he had been shot.
whats the matter?" asked Nor
wood.
''Pamilla Hyatt-Pamilla Hyattl" re-
peated Newman, eXcitedly, as he tool
from his breast pocket leathern case
and with trembling fingers opened il
and brought out small gold locket
blue enameled. Look at that Nor
wood-look at the name-what do yor
see?n
Norwood looked and he saw and ejac
ulated:
"Pamilla Hyatt?"
Exactly, that locket must be hers.
1t isn't likely that there is more thar
one Pamilla Hyatt in the world"
"Well, and what of itl"
"A good deal. Let me withdraw M
congratulations. You're not the lucki
, est--you're the most unlucay man
know of, to be ensnared by the fata
beauty"
"Explain!" cried Philip, hoarsely
, Explain at once"
You remember my cousin Andrew
you've heard me speak of him a
| least-a gay, merry, easJ-going fellow

A gentleman visited an unhappy
man in Jail awaiting his trial. "Sir,"
said the prisoner, tears running down
his cheeks, Il had good home educa-
ton; it was my street education that
ruined. used to slip out of the house
and go off with the boys in the street.
In the street learned to lounge; in the
street l learned to swear; in the street
l learned to smoke; in the street l
learned to gamble; in the street learn
ed to pilfer. Oh. sir, it is in the street

No attempt should be made to put a

No attempt should be made to put a
colt to work before he is three or three
and half years old, and it would be
far better to exact no work, beyond
gentle exercising before he is at least
five years old. Although this may not
seem to be profitable at first, it will
prove so in the end, since the year or
two lost in early life will generally add
six years to a horses working time.

Articles of jewelry have of late found
their way here from India Of rare and
novel character. They consist of tigers
claws, richly decorated with virgin
gold. Two claws. with the butts
placed together form a crescent, and
serve for a brooch, while single claws
are used for earrings.

Too Much Bank Capital.

The incorporated banks Of this city are
passing through season of trial Which can
end only in one way. A large number OF
them must retire from business and wind
up There Is more capital invested in bank
ing than the mercantile community re-
qurcs, and the surplus must be withdrawn
The process Il going on gradually, through
losses and depreciation Of assets, and it
would be wiser for the weak banks To antici-
pate the inevitable result and get cut before
they are entirely used up.
Ten years ago the capital and surplus
profits OF the national and State banks Of
the city combined amounted to about.
sl25, 900. 900. To-day they amount to about
slOOOOoOOO; the difference having been
either lost or retired. But whereas the ex-
changes Of the Clearing House in 1867 were
S2s,OOO 100000, those Of 1877 were only
$50, 900, 100000, showing falling of in bust
ness of ono-third against reduction of
banking capital Of only onc-ifth.
Again, ten years ago the prices Of COM
modities in this market We're nearly double
what they are at present. and consequently
twice as much money was employed in buy
ing and selling them. Wheat was $3.50 per
bushcl; now it is SIPS. Corn was $50; it
is now 90 cents. Cotton was 10 cents per
pound; now it Is only II. Pork was
81 per barrel against sll.50 to-day. Sugar
was II cents per pound; to-day it is to g
Refined petroleum. which was "a cents per
gallon, is now but l. cents. and 50 on with
Che rest Of our great staples. Manufactured
goods have suffered similar fall In price,
partly from the greater cheapneSs of raw
materials and labor. and partly from a
diminished demand. Coal and railroad
stocks have deprecated moro than one-half.
and the rest of the stock list is also greatly
reduced in price. The result is that "A
dollar now does the work which used to en-
ploy two. and the banks have twice as much
money to lend IA there Is any call for. No
wonder that the rate Of interest Is low, and
that In a desperate struggle TO get higher
rates, dangerous loans are made which
often turn out dead losses.
The question which the stockholders Of a
good many Of the banks are beginning TO
consider very seriously is whether, in view
Of the facts. they shall let their institutions
run on till the whole capital il consumed in
taxes and bad debts. or whether they shall
rake what they can out OF the fire at once.
CT course, all the salaricd bank officers and
their friends advise them TO 60 On and
await better times, but such advice il in
terestcd, and should not receive much con
sheraton. The only sound rule to go by is
that Of comparing the amount earned in the
business, over and above all expenses taxes
and losses, with the amount which could bc
earned by the same capital invested in some
other way. II is pretty safe to say that a
bank which cannot make for its shareholders
more than four per cent. net per annum had
better return them their money That rate
Of income can bee got on Government bonds
with far less risk. There are more Of such
banks than Is generally supposed, and we
look for their speedy dissolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Notwithstanding
the heavy vote in the Senate. the Silver bill is
not out Of the woods. and there is now little
probability that it will be accepted by the House
in the form finally adopted. There are three
new elements in the bill which materially differ
from tho Bland scheme. namely. limited com
age. scignioragc. and an international commits
sion. All these amendments are distasteful TO
the leaders of this measure in the House. and
will be combated vigorously. rs being inimical
to the principle of their original bill.
II is contcnded that. to be effective. tho issue
of silver coin should be unlimited. instead Of
being restrained. as the Senate proposes. within
"A minimum II two millions and a maximum Of
four millions per month. the latter being far
beyond the extreme productive capacity of the
present minis. with New Orleans revived and
supcradded Again. II is maintained. and with
Il show OF plausibillty. If there be anything in
the theory Of the silvcrtes that as gold pays no
seigniorage. none should BE- imposed on silver
because both metals stand on the same footlns,
in the Constitution. As 10 the third amend
ment for an international conference with the
Latin Union. TO establish n uniform bi-metallic
basis. this proposition will be resisted by an
ultra class who would like to build Chinese
wall around the country. and who are wholly
Indifferent to the laws and operations Of cNter-
nal commerce. Ii is thus seen that there are
three positive obstacles TO harmonious action
on the Senate amendments.
The practical question then t.. can n common
basis be reached by which the essential features
Of tho Bland bill may be preserved The
answer will have to come from committee Of
conference to adjust the disagreemenis between
the two Houses As the case now stands the
Senate bill. which is a great Improvement on
the other, has the advantage. for upon the test

London and New York Fires.

1t seems that in London the steam fire
engine, though SO recently perfected, is see
Ing its last days. 4 select committee Of the
House of Commons has reported in favor Of
doing away with this remarkable machine,
and substituting hydrants. The city of
London has adopted the suggestion Of the
committee, thu, sealing the fate Of the fire
engine, which a few years ago was regarded
Ms II very satisfactory machine.
Tho plan is TO supply London with a large
number OF hydrants fed from a reservoir
sufficiently elevated to give high pressure
Of water. The men stationed at fire
escapes and the policemen placed at
"fxcd points will thus be enabled to give
instant aid in case Of fire; the adjacent n.y.
drants can at once be turned ON, and streams
of water poured upon the flames Thevalue
Vi few minutes saved at the commence
mcnt Of a conllagratlon. as everybody
knows, can scarcely be overrated. II water
can at once be thrown ON tho incipient
names, the chances Of putting out the fire
are vastly increased; while even a very
briefdclay may allow the flames to get such
Roadway that they cannot be successfully
resisted
II is believed by the Parliamentary com
mittce that the ystcm Of hydrants, supplied
by high pressure will AFFORD greater de
grce 81 protection against fire than has ever
boon enjoyed, ard that It's establishment
Will diminish the expenses OF fire depart
nlcnt5 very materially. The trouble about
introducing it, into Loudon, however, is that
the water supply Of the largest capital OF
the world Is far from sufficient The Cap
tain Of the Fire Brigade reports that last
