THE FACTORY FOREMAN.

1t was Just such an American village
as you see in pictures. A black ground
of superb bold mountains, oil cloathed
in blue~green cedars, with a torrent
laundering down deep gorge and falls
ing in billows of foam; a river reflect
ing the azure of the sky, and q knot Of
houses, with church spire at one end
and a thicket of factory chimneys at
the other, whose black smoke wrote
every changing hieroglyphics against
the oriency of the sky. This was
Dapplevale. And in the rosy sunset of
this Llossomy June day the girls were
pouring out of the broad doorway.
while General Blake, the foreman, sat
behind his desk, pen behind his ear
and his small, beady black eyes drawn
back, as it we're, in the precipice of
shaggy eyebrow.
One by one the girls stopped and re-
ceived their pay for one weeks work,
for this was Saturday night. One by
one they filed out, with fretful, discon.
tented faces, until the last one passed

Words of Wisdom.

The word of an honest man is surer
than the gold of villain.
We can never die too early for others
when we live only for ourselves.
Tt is the best proof of the virtues of a
family circle to sec happy fireside
flow few faults arc there seen by Us
which we have not ourselves committed.
II every year we rooted ont one vice
we should soon become perfect men.
Ingratitude calls forth reproaches, as
gratitude brings fresh kindness.
Let man overcome anger by love,
evil by good. the greedy by Iberality,
the fair by truth.
He who would amass virtues, leaving
out the guardian virtue humanity. is
like man who leaves precious dust
exposed to the wind.
Might and right do differ rightly
from hour to hour; but give them Gems
turies to try it in and they are bound to
be identical.
Men of great and stirring powers, who
are destined to mold the age in which
they are born, must first mold thom~
selves upon it.
Energy will do everything that can be
done in this world; anl no talents, no
circumstances, no opportunities will
make two-legged animal a man with-
ont it.
There are soma benefits which may be
so conferred as to become the very re-
finement of revenge, and there are some
evils which we had rather bear in sulIen
silence than be relieved from at the ex.
pense OF our pri de.

The thirst for mind to murder mind.

With corpses, bridging hill with hill.

Talk to the Children.

Children hunger perpetually for new
ideas. They will learn with pleasure
from the lips of parents what they deem
drudgery to study in books; and even if
they have the misfortune to be deprived
of many educational advantages, they
will grow up intelligent people. We
sometimes see parents who are the life
of every company which they enter,
dali, silent and uninterasting at homs
among their children. II they have
not mental activity and mental stores
sufficient for both, let them first use
what they have for their own houses
holds. A silent home is a dali place
for young people--a place from which
they will escape if they can. How
much useful information, and what un-
conscious, but excellent mental training
in lively, social argument. Cultivate
to the utmost the art of conversation at
home.

He Snsnactad Everybody.

Soma said he was naturally suspicious
This may be partly true. But others
say that in early life some unfortunate
affairs had an unhappy effect on his
moods aud tempers. II felony was
committed in his neighborhood, and
there hung n mystery over the question
of the perpetrator, onr hero looked wise,
and seemed to hint that he know the
man. In this way he once came to be
seriously suspected of being an acces.
ory after the fact; but he was wholly
innocent.
One fine day he was walking down
the street and saw some men talking
and laughing. Occasionally they look
ed up the street. BY the time ho reach
ed the group his face was very red. He
looked vexed. He supposed their
laughter was in some way at his ex
pense. Fortunately, he paused long
enough to find that they were making
merry over the sayings and doings of a
political meeting of their own party.
One lent him book. which had been
read with care, and several passages
were marked with a pencil. He sup
posed the owner of the book intended
to hurt his feelings by calling special
attention to certain clauses. and yet it
was fact that the owner did not know
that there was pencil mark on any
page.
In fact, or friend often suspected
some evil intention in the kindest acts
of his best friends. A strange minister
once delineated in the pulpit the char
acter of Iitigious man. Oar friend
went home silent. if not surly, and com
planned of personalities in the pulpit
His life was fIll Of uneasiness with>
ont cause, except rs found in his undue
sensibility and suspiciousness. Things
said in q general way, he with a strange
perversity applied to himself. He trust
ed sfew. if any. He had an astonish-
ing facility for giving a bad turn to all
that was said.
His influence WAS not good. His chil~
dren caught his spirit. At school they
often considered themselves slighted.
Thus family feuds were engendered.
1t would be slander to say that one
could not speak to him. Bnt his sus>
picions threw him INTO fits of jealousy.
At times his couutenance indicated mai
ignlty. HIS unhappy turn of thought
had made him shy Of his pastor, stiff
towards his family physician, and awk-
ward towards all. Even his wife WAS
the worse of his evil surmsings.
OF course, he was unhappy-indeed,
miserable. The signs of his concious
wretchedness were infallIble. All this
was quite necessary. He was his own
tormentor. If be should read this pa
per he would say, "rhe anthor of that
piece understood mo. Why will not

es for him. But he seems to have fine
health, aud certainly he eats as much as

O maid of Pascagoula's bay,
l mind me how that, side by side,
We pensive floated It'll ths dawn of day
Oer thy calm ripping hayens tide;
And how in tho't we named each spark
That star-like from our steamer shone
And traced its pathway DER the waters
dark
AZ emblems of life's course-our own.
Twas thus upon the Ganges stream
The Hindoo maid her floating taper
launched,
And watched the chances of its starry
gleam
If lang course it sailed, or quickly
quenched;
Most grateful when it floated out of sight
She deemed it then upon the sea a rover
To cheer the sailor with its tell-tale light
And homeward safely guide her lover.
0, float away my tiny spark,
0, float away 10 the sea;
Thy light like star in the evening dark
A picture of love, may be.
Thy way is long and the eddies strong
As the night winds fresher rise,
O safety float, my brittle boat,
Till thy light fades out in the skies.
o float away my little spark,
o float on the ripping waves;
Our longing eyes from the taitral mark
How thy fellows sink down IN theil
The ripple strikes one and its course is
done,
And two are foundered together,
And letus flower doth oyerpower
Another and many another.
1t hoateth away to the realms Of day
That bark with its star lamp laden,
That fragile bark with its glimmering spark
That beareth the heart of the maiden,
And her spirit sweeps on with the rlver's
tide
And soareth away to her lover;
She walks by his side the happest bride
The sun can ever discover.
There are loves like that star in its tiny
bark
As beautiful both and frail,
Oh beautiful when ye CLEAN out IN the
dark
And safe DER life's currents sail;
With maiden's cares and maiden'-
prayer
And all her wealth y're freighted,
With all her fears and all her tears
Oh burden holy freighted!
Blu: oh the heart breaking that bringeth
tie waking
OF the soul from its rapturous dream,
And its faith in all goodness and truth
ever shaking
As you sink irto the torturous atream.

intellectual Culture.

intellectual culture and refinement OF
manners cannot save goddess nation.
These things did not save Greece or
Rome. These things have no necos>
sary connection with virtue or hapi-
uess. The golden age of Grecian cul-
ture and refinement was the period of
her foulest moral corruption and i'm
pending ruin.
A goddess education rendered uui-
versal will only make more skiIlful
knaves aud dangerous neighbors.
Universal suffrage is counting noses to
get the aggregate wisdom and virtne of
people. The French people voted
God chimera, religion vile super>
stitioH, and enthroned human reason in
the person of courtesau paraded on
high through the streets OF Paris. The
masses swore eternal fealty to six diff
ferent leaders in less than six years and
then bowed down at the foot of despot.
One of our most learned problems OF
to day, is how to save society. church
and State, from the ballots of ignorant
and bad maiorities.
Our fair Hesperia may yet afford a
splendid opportunity for some politico-
military chieftain to repeat the game OF
Caesar or Napoleon. We have gone up
like stick. "Fhe coming man may
prove a scourge of God to punish our
ungodiness. The child may already
be born who will see the gorgeous day
dreams of our optimists vanish like air
castles. 'Human happiness has no
security but freedom, freedom none
but virtue. virtue none but knowledge,
neither freedom, virtue nor knowledge
has any security. except in the Chris
tian religion.

How a Congressman Proposes to
Get Even.

There is no doubt. says the Virginia
New Chronicle, as to how Congress =,
man Daggett stands on the railroad
question. He is sound. Conversng
with Chronicle reporter the other day,
he said:
The railroad people arc the pettiest
kind of gougers. They begin to show
their hand at Oaaha. In the first
place the fare from Omaha to San Fran
cisco is hundred dollars and fifty cents,
aud every body who buys ticket stops
to growl and ask what that fifty cents is
for. They are told that the half dol
lar is simply the profit made on each
passenger l guess the hundred dol-
lars comes nearer the profit than the
half dollar.
"Then they grab your trunk and
shove it behind grating to be weigh
ed. You can't see the scales al all, and
You have no id"a abont the weight un-
til q man sings out eight dollars and
thirty cents over weight, and you have
to pungle the money or your trunk
don't 90. Now my trunk was so small
an affair that I could throw it over my
shoulder with one hand, but they ran
up the weight to two hundred ana sixty
pounds. Probably it did weigh that
much when q two hundl ed>pound
baggage master was sitting on it.
"Well, paid because I hadn't but
two minutes to fight; and at Ogden the
baggage villain still pursued me and l
paid some more extra weight. 1t
weighed more at Ogden probably be-
cause a heavier man sat on it, or else
the rarifed atmosphere affected the
scales. Then coming over the mount
aims there were some extra charges for
ropes. But I'll get even-I'll get even.
"You see, am entitled as a member
of Congress 20 six hundred volumes of
Agricultural Reports, two hundred
Snrveyor>General's Reports, five hun
dred Patent> office Reports, and several
thousand other heavy volumes Of equal-
ly exciting character"
Reporter-Are these reports ever
read?
Mr. Daggett, M. Con, yes; the
printers who set EN- up are obliged to
read 'em. Well, these are sent on to
my address free. and the railroad peo-
pie have to carry 'em for nothing under
their postal contract with the United
States Goverument-the biggest Gov
ernment on earth. sir. Then Igive one
COPY of the agricultural romance to
Farmer Threadway and cory of the
geological fctions to Professor Stewart.
All the rest need myself.
Reporter-For what purpose?
Mr.. Daggett, M. C.-Why, you
see, I'll put my frank on 'em and ship
'en, to Zach Chandler in Wisconsin, and
he'll! frank 'em and send 'em back, and
I'll frank 'em again and redirect 'em to
him; and these books-two tons of 'em.
by-l-will go back and fourth over
that blasted road free until the next
session of Congress, when TIL get hold
of some more and start them along.

motion until they wear ont, and then
I'll sue the company for damages.
