A SHREWD DEAL BY A PACK
PEDOLER.

Although it is generally taken for
granted that peddlers are nuisance,
and that book agents and lightning-rod
men are a special infiction imposed up
on mortal sufferers by an all.wise and
over-ruling Providence, it should be
borne in mind that peddlers are human,
and that once in very great while even
book agents and lightning-rod men. yes,
We may say life insurance agents, too,
have enough manhood and honor about
them to entitle them to a share of our
respect.
The person we have in our minds eye
at present is peddler. Only peddler.
But he is an honest, energetic and am
bilious fellow for all that. And as the
sequel will show, he had spice of hu-
NOR about him as well. Not long ago,
he of the pack CHANGED, upon his jour-
ney, to stop at the house Of a well-to-do
farmer iQ Endfeld.
''Would the madam wish to look at
my goods ?" inquired the peddler, as the
woman Of the house answered his re-
spectful summons at the door.
"Well, yes: don't mind if l do.
Have you got any linen table cloths ?''
Yes, he had and with no more ado
he unfastened his burden and spread the
stock before her gaze. The woman ex-
amined the cloths very closely, asking
the price of them, and altogether she
managed to detain the man about an
hour. Finally, she said: 81 bought some
at Ithaca, yesterday, and | only wanted
to see if them dry goods men cheated
me-
With commendable good nature the
disappointed fellow repacked his goods
and went his way. A month or so pass
ed, and once more he knocks at the same
farmers door, this time not to sell but
to buy.
'Can you get me up a frst-class din
ner 2" he asked. Something good; I've
got money and want to see your best"
The woman of the house hustled about
at lively rate, the vision of good fee
for the meal lending alacrity to her
movements, and presently she returned
to the room where the peddler was wait
ing, and announced that dinner was
ready. He walks out to the dining room,
puts on pair of goggles and critically
inspects the viands. After probing the
steak, and turning the eggs, and shifting
tho coffee, he turned TO the astnnisnec
female and remarked:
81 don't want anything; | paid fol
my dinner at the house below, and
thought I'd find out whether they had
cheated me- And grabbing his bundle
he managed to dodge out of the door be
fore the irate woman could reach him.

The following sentiment was drunk

evenings since: "Here's to de colored

THE EFFECTS OF WoRRY.-That the
effects of worry are more to be dreaded
than those of simple, hard work is evil
dent from noting the classes of persons
who suffer most from the effects of men
tai overstrain. The case-book of the
physician shows that it is the specula-
tor, the betting man, the railway mana
ger, the great merchant, the superinten-
dent of large manufacturing or CONNER
cial works, who most frequently exhlb-
its the symptoms of cerebral exhaustion.
Mental cares accompanied with sup
pressed emotion, occupations liable to
great vicissitudes of fortune, and those
which involve the bearing on the mind
of multiplicity of intricate details,
eventually break down the lives of the
strongest. In estimating what may be
called the staying powers of different
minds under hard work, it is always
necessary to take early training into ac-
count A young man cast suddenly in
to position involving great care and
responsibility. will break down in cir
cumstances in which, had he been grad
ually habituated to the position, he
would have performed its duties without
difficulty. 1t is probably for this reason
that the professional classes generally
suffer less from the effects of overstrain
than others They have long course
of preliminary training, and their work
comes on them by degrees; therefore,
when it does come in excessive quantity,
it finds them prepared for it. Those. on
the other hand, who suddenly vault into
a position requiring severe mental toll,
generally die before their time.

EVENINGS ATTHE WHITE HOUSE.

The President and family receive in
formally IN the evening, sometimes in the
Red Room and sometimes in the Libra
ry. These visits, however, are only
made by intimate personal friends, or
by those warranted through their ac-
quaintance to call in social manner.
The evenings in the Library are very
charming. Brilliant and cultivated men
and women gather in little knots in diff
ferent parts of the spacious and cheerful
apartment, and wit sparkles and anec-
dote enlivens conversation. The Presi-
dent frequently disappears; he has a
private library, where he retires when
any gentleman present wishes to speak
with him on matters of policy or politics
but he soon returns, to all appearances
as unruf1ed as if the great sea of public
opinion had settled into perfect calm.
Mrs. Hayes entertains her visitors in an
easy, courteous, cordial manner, moving
among them with stately grace, and
scattering pleasant words. Great gen.
tleness and sweetness pervade the whole
domestic life of the Presidents family.
Little Fannie the only daughter, bright
child of nine years, the pet and favorite
of all who know her, is never visible at
dinner or to evening visitors. Il am
obliged to compromise with my little
lady," remarked Mrs. Hayes, with a
smile, '.as found her growing old too
fast for her years we serve her dinner
in her room, which she esteems high
compliment" The private dining room
of the Presidents family is the only one
of their private apartments which is on
| the great main floor of the White House.
The meals are breakfast, lunch and din
ner, instead Of breakfast, dinner and tea,
as in the time of Madison. No unusual
forms and ceremonies are observed IN
the service further than those at any
gentlewoman's table. The hospitalities
of either lunch or dinner are frankly
rendered to any familiar guest who may
chance to be calling at the specified
hour, and not infrequently accepted

SUN SpoTs.-The phenomena of sun
spots are now familiar; multitudes of
people have seen them and everybody
has read about them. 1t is well known

dark chasms, up-rushing streams Of fam
ing gases, and lurid prominences, some
times 100000 miles high. But these
striking effects are not uniform; the sea
of solar fire, like our own oceans, is
sometimes quiet. The spots are varia-
BILE, being now many and enormous in
size, and again few and small. This
periodicity, moreover, is proved to be
regular.

AN INTERESTED AUDIENCE.-Apropos
of the revival of the question of a future
state of punishment. which is just now
occupying SO much of the time and pens
of clergymen and editors. the following
contribution to the Drawer, from a clev-
er brother editor in New Jersey, seems
particularly ''pat:"
Some years ago there lived in Nights
town, New Jersey, young man named
Clark Hutchinson, "to the manor born. !"
He was carriage builder, and an ex-
pert workman, but was also .jack- -at-all-
trades" always ready to leave his legit-
innate business and engage in anything
new that turned up. The Universalists
had church in the town, and Hutchin-
son became a leading man in the socie-
ty. He was fond Of controversy, and on
one occasion was expounding the tenets
of his faith with much energy to crowd
on street corner, when Jim Norris,
a well-to-do blacksmith, who was listen
ing with much interest, broke in with !:
"Make it strong, Clarky, make it strong,
for there's good many of us a-depend-
in on t."-Horper'S Mdqazine.

READING IN THE HOME CIRoLE-
Good books and newspapers should be
angels in every household. They are
urns to bring us the golden fruits of
thought and experience from other lands.
AS the fruits of the trees Of the earth's
soil are the most enjoyed around the
family board, SO should those that ma
ture upon mental and moral b@Ehs be
gathered around by the entire household.
No home exercise could be more appro-
pirate and pleasing than for one member
to read aloud for the benefit of all. An

on the contrary, is always allied to SIM

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Gold goes in at any gate except heav-
ems.
Envy shoots at others, and wounds
herself
Enjoy your little while the fool seeks
for more.
Drunkenness is an egg from which all
vices are hatched.
Do not trust nor contend, nor borrow,
nor lend. and you will live in quiet.
When misfortunes happen to such as
dissent from US in matters of religion,
we call them judgments when to those
of our own sect we call them trials;
when to persons neither way distinguish
ed we are content to attribute them to
the settled course of nature.
There is Russian proverb which says
that misfortune is next door to stupidi-
ty, and it will generally be found that
men who are constantly 1amenUfug their
ill-luck are only reaping the consequen-
ces of their own neglect, mismanage-
ment, lmprovidence or want of applica-
tion.
Truth is tough. 1t will not break,
like bubble, at a touch nay. you may
kick it about all day like football and
it will be round and full at evening.
Does not Mr.. Bryant say that truth gets
we'll if she is run over by locomotive,
while error dies of the lockjaw if she
scratches her finger.
A good conscience is better than two
witnesses. 1t will consume your grief
as the sun dissolves ice. 1t is a spring
when you are thirsty staff when you
are weary a screen when the sun burns
you, and pillow in death.

On the influence of the moon the
Country Gentleman we'll remarks: ''lt
can make no more difference to fatten-
ing pig whether the sun shines on one
side of the moon or the other side (the
only difference between new and full
noon than whether it shines on the
east or west side of stone heap ten
miles of. The absurdity of ascribing
changes in weather and vegetable growth
to the light on the surface of the moon
is obvious from the fact that they are
diverse in different parts of a large coun
try. from all parts of which the moon
appears the same.

THE TWO GLASSES.

There sat two glasses filed to the brim
On rich mans table, rim to rim,
One was ruddy and red as blood,
And one clear as the crystal food
Said the glass of wine to the paler brother:
LET us tell the tales of the past to each other
1 can tell of banquet and revel and mirth,
And the proudest and grandest souls on earth
Fell under my touch as though struck by blight,
Where was king, for l ruled in might.
From the heads of kings have torn the crown,
From the heights of fame have hurled men down;
have blasted many an hOnored name;
have taken virtue and given shame;
l have tempted the youth with sip, taste
That has made his future barren waste.
Far greater than king am I.
Or than any army beneath the sky;
have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the iron rail-
have made good ships 60 down at sea,
And the shrieks of the lost were sweet to me;
For they said, Behold how great you be
Fame strength wealth. genius before you fall,
For your might and power over ALL
Hoi hoi pale brother" laughed the wine,
"Can you boast Of deeds as great as mines"
Said the water glass: al cannot boast
or king dethroned or murdered host;
But can tell of heart once sad
By my crystal drops made light and glad
or thrsts I've quenched of brows I've laved;
or hands I've cooled and souls have saved
1 have leaped through the valley dashed down tn,
mountain,
Flowed in the river and PLAYED in the fountain,
Slept in the sunshine and dropped from the sky;
And everywhere gladdened the landscape and eye.

CURE FOR NEURALGIA.-A friend of
ours, who, suffering severe pains from
neuralgia, hearing of a noted physician
in Germany who invariably cured the
disease, crossed the ocean and visited
Germany for treatment. He was per-
manently cured after a short sojourn,
and the doctor freely gave him the SIM
pie remedy used, which was nothing but
poultice and tea made from our COM
mon field thistle. The leaves are mac
Grated and used on the part afflicted as
a poultice. while small quantity of the
leaves are boiled down to the proportion
of quart to pint, and a small wine-
glass of the decoction drank before each
meal. Our friend says he has never
known it to fail of giving relief, while
in almost every case it has effected a
cure.

A gentleman wishing to purchase a
fine indigo-dyed coat, called upon He
brew sin whom there is no guile" The
purchaser was very particular to impress
upon the mind of the seller that he
wanted an indigo, not logwood-dyed
cloth, the smell of the latter being ofen-
sive to him. The coat was selected and
tried on, when our Hebrew friend COM
menced his enconiums. "Now you must
look at dat. 1t was feet you like paper

not what l want. This is logwood-

BE HoNoRABLE.-Boys and young
men sometimes start out in life with the
idea that success depends on sharpness
and chicanery. They imagine if a man
is able always to ''get the best of bar
gain" no matter by what deceit and
meanness he carries his point, that his
prosperity is assured. This is great
mistake. Enduring prosperity cannot
be founded on cunning and dishonesty.
The tricky and deceitful man is sure to
fall victim, sooner or later, to the in
fuences which are forever working
against him. His house is built upon
the sand, and its foundation will be cer-
tain to give away. Young people cannot
give these truths too much weight. The
future of that young man is safe who
eschews every phase of double dealing,
and lays the foundation of his career in
the enduring principles of everlasting
truth.
