our farmers have certainly chosen a
Scriptural maxim, "By the sweat OF
thy brow we shall eat bread"
Our young friend R E. Aymett
is bestowing unremitting labor upon
his study of medicine. We have
great hopes of his success, as he is
very assiduous AMI well qualified
for his calling.
We have day school in session
at this place under the supervision
of our most worthy and efficient
friend, H. C. Worley. He is a man
of merit and one whom the people
should patronize.
Prof. McFarlin instructed a class
in vocal music at this place some
time since. He acquitted himself
with much credit, and is to return
in the summer for a second school.
The Sabbath school convenes
punctually at 81 o'clock, regardless
of foul weather. Here the old and
young meet with their faithful SUI
perintendent, Mr.. James Harwell,
to pay their grateful homage to
God for ali kindnesses during the
past week.

Lost Things.

There are a great many things
lost that are found again, and a
great many others that are never
found. There are regulations lost
which cannot be regained; there are
friendships and joys lost; there are
thoughts and talents lost which are
never found. Every man has at
some time lost something which he
would give the world, if it were his,
to recover. 1t may have been but
a single pearl from the thread of
friendship, but it was precious to
him, and life is sad and dark with
out it. The smallest things are
oftentimes the dearest to the
heart of man, as for instance, lit
tie wife, a little heir, little fortune,
little home. What wonder, then,
that when they are lost, he would
give everything he had for their re-

Words Containing the Five Regular

There are n number Of words in

to think OF more than one or two

reputation, regulation, emulation,
perturbation, mensuration, repudia-
ton. Besides these there are sew
erald words, each containing all the
vowels, including the "y." or

noted as a peculiar word Tor IL con-

Wasted Time.

My dear boys, you make 8 great
mistake in supposing that the time
on the corner. trying to- smoke n
cigar, is not wasted. Think, or try
to think, how much time and money
you are wasting, and for what. The
qualification afforded by the lounge
or the corner or the cigar is not
ouly temporary, but positively hurt
full. You cannot indulge in them
without seriously injuring your
selves. You will acquire Idle and
wasteiul habits which will cling to
you with each succeeding year.
You may in after life shake them
off, but the probabilities are that
the habits thus formed in early life
will remain With you to your dying
day. Be warned, then, in time, and
resolve that, as the hour spent in
idleness is gone forever, you will
improve each passing one, and
thereby fit yourself for usefulness
and happiness-which can never
come while you waste each hour as
it flies.

Stand for the Right.

OF the acts Of cowardice, the
meanest is that which leads one TO
abandon a good cause because it is
weak, and join bad cause because
it is strong. The smitten deer Is
said TO be avoided by the herd; It
is the instinct of the brute: but in
the higher law which reigns In the
breast OF mankind and womankind,
YOU never saw the smitten son
abandoned by the mother. ! have.
in the great questions Of the day,
educational and religious, in Scot
land and Ireland, cast my lot with
the minority, which in due season
become the majority; when / lett
my cause IL was because IL had
waxed strong. and did not need my
poor aid. We have TO see 70 II
that, in the struggle OF life, we stand
by right, not by might being sure
that in the end the right shall have

BE UP AND DOING.

There is no place for idle men
In such u world as this is,
For who o single talent hides
The ten-fold increase misses;
With busy hand and active brain,
Our strength we are renewing,
And if aught worthy we'd achieve
We must be up and doing.
We waitln vain for fortunes purse
To fill our lap with treasure,
And lose our interest on the notes
We sacrifice TO pleasure.
In misery and poverty
Our folly wen be rueing.
So while the golden moments last,
We d best be up and doing
A holiday once in while
Adds strength unto endeavor,
But who would prize jubilee
That lasted on forever!
So if we have our work TO do
And who can do WI bout it,
We never viii accomplish much
Unless we set about 1t.
There is no room for idle men,
In this great hive of labor,
W mere each DUTY owes himself,
a duty owes his neightOr;
Beneath your feet. within your hearts
The soil must have renewIn5,
SO from your lethaTgy awake,
To-day be up and doing.
Old age is coming on apace,
How swift the hours are flying,
And soon beneath The churchyard stone
At rest you will be lying.
Live while } GU live; each noble aim
Attentively Pursuingl
For ifyou would to honor rise
You must be up and doing.

Every body has heard of the reply
Of John Randolph to the hotel wait
er who asked the distinguished gen
tleman if he would take more tea or
coffee. WELL" said Mr.. Randolph
glancing at his empty cup, eff that
was coffee give me tea, if it was tea
give me coffee; l want a change"
The overburdened people of this
poor country are very much of the
same way of thinking as the excen-
trio defendant of Pocahuntas.-
They do not know what to call the
financial policy of John Sherman,
which is descriable, not by name, but
by attributes only. If its "tea,"
they want coffee" or if coffee"
tea" They are for a "change;"
they feel that no policy can be more
huItful to them.

Life and Existence.

The mere lapse of years is not
life. To eat, and drink, and sleep,
to be exposed TO darkness and light,
to pace around in the mill of habit,
and turn thought into an implement
of trade-this is not life. In all
this but a poor consciousness OF
humanity is awakened, and the
sanctities still slumber which make
il worth while 10 be. knowledge,
love, truth, beauty, goodness, faith
alone can give vitality TO the me
chanism of existence The laugh
that vibrates through the heart, the
tears that freshen the dry wastes
within, the music that brings child
hood back, the prayer that calls the
future near, are the true nourish-
ment of our natural being.

STATE DINNERS.
How Men Dine on Great Occasions at
the White House.

Washington Correspondence st. Louis Post.
At State dinners and other cere.
monious occasions here there is the
strictest observance of the rules of
official etiquette as regards the or
der of precedence. The Secretary
of State and his wife rank next the
President and his wife when the
Vice President is unmarried As
Vice President Wheeler is a wild
over, the two ladies of highest rank
among the guests at the dinner Ia
bic on the 10Th were the wife of the
Secretary of State and the wife OF
the senior Justice OF the United
States Supreme Court; so these two
ladies sat on either side the Presi
dent, the most honorable positions
at table for ladies. The two gen
tlemen of highest rank were the
Vice President and Secretary Ev
arts; so the former sat on Mrs.
Hayes right and the latter on her
left. She went to the table with
the former.
To avoid confusion a small en-
velope is handed every gentleman
when he enters the cloak room be
fore dinner on these occasions. In
this are two cards. One has dia
gram of the table, with his own
name and that of the lady he will
face at dinner written opposite
the numbers at the seats they are
to occupy. On the other card is
the name of the lady he is to escort.
There is always a little excite
ment about opening these envelopes
of the same description as the ire
NOR of expectation which seizes
one on opening a prize package.
And well there may be, for three
hours is the usual duration of a
White House State dinner, and to
be bored for three hours is no joke,
and the little envelope contains the
solution of the problem each man
has anxiously asked himself on his
way 10 the scene of the feast: "Am
1 to have an agreeable partner or
not?'

Madge's Composition.

Madge came home from school
one day in great tribulation for she
had got to write a composition.
I'm sure l can never do it," she
said III tone of dispair, while rela
ting her trouble to mamma. "Min
ME Seam on's is going to write
about Temperance, and Bell White
about Spring, and May Bennett
about Perseverance, and Jennie
Hartwell about EducatIo,n but /
don know single thing to write.
1T seems very strange to me
that a little girl who has lived ten
wears in this world and isn't deaf,
dumb, or blind, shouldn't know u
single thing" replied mamma.
"0h, L know lots of common
things, OF course, but nothing that ;
dt to write composition about"
well, my dear, some of the
most interesting books I've ever
read were about very common
things indeed. There's one re-
member that l used to read When l
went to school and studied French.
IL was all about a little plant which
grew up through crevlce in the
pavement OF a prison yard, and was
watched and tended by poor pris
oner until he came to love it almost
as dearly as though it had been a
little child. A good plan is to
choose something that you see ev
cry dag and try what you can say
about il"
Madge walked thoughtfully out
into the yard, and two or three hours
after came to mamma with this
composition which she asked her
to read and see if it would do.
CHICKoNS.

can get the eggs and sell them and

MADGE MORTON.
Mamma thought ii would TO very
well, but said that Madge must
copy it carefully, and correct all Of
the misspelled words before giving
it to the teacher. The little girl
made rather a wry face at that, but
when mamma promised to show her
about the punctuation points and
capitals she went bravely 10 work,
and when finished concluded that
writing compositions was not such
a dreadful thing after all.
