Unselflshness of Farmers.

The Springfield Republican calls atten- ton to a trait of farmers, in which it thinks they differ, as regards each other from the members of any other guild. Each man is eager to show his neighbor any new discovery or acquisition which he has possessed himself of that is likely to help on the business of farming. If he thinks he has good thing he wants others to know about it, whether it be the result of some successful experiment in raising a. crop, an improved breed of cattle or variety of vegetable, or pack age of superior seed which has come from a distance Apparently he does not for a moment entertain the idea that it would be to his profit to keep such knowledge or specimens to himself. And if another farmer comes to see him, he is pleased to show all his possessions; and there are no corners of the place by which the visitor is hurried because some ex- perimenting is going on there which the owner does not care to have seen, as is often the case when visitor makes the grand rounds of a factory. Contrast this habit of the farmers with the way that neighboring merchants and manufactur- CTS do their business. Why, when it was first proposed to connect the paper mills in Holyoke with their offices in this city by telephone, objection was at once raised that the papermakers might possibly learn each others secrets as a consequence"

The Stoye-Pipe Hat.

Little more than quarter of a cen- tury ago, says the Albany Times, in humorous vein, no gentleman deemed himself dressed for the street unless he was crowned with such a contrivance. In 1852, Kossuth, the great Hungarian exile, electrified this land with the elo- quent recital of his country's wrongs; and having aroused our sympathies, set his mark upon us in the shape of soft hat bearing his name. From that time the silk hat has been losing caste, and year by year has become more and moro an adjunct ofceremony, murky relative to the white kid glove, and the symbol of extraordinary events. Observations shows that bridegrooms run to plug hats as naturally as they subsequently run from tie wifely broomstick. The reason why men about to be immolated upon the hymenal altar rush into high hats has never been fully explained. Investiga- tion in this branch of domestic science is still in its infancy, but the commission recently appointed are at work, and a re- port of their labors may be expected at the earliest practicable moment.
 Without wishing to make any invid- ious comparison, it may be said that at the shrine of the plug hat bow down at the present time bank and insurance presidents and first-class gamblers. But outside of these classes, all of whom seem to think that an air of dignity and responsibility is extracted from the trou- blesome, awkward and fragile cylinder this head-decker is constantly being pushed further out of the daily life of the masses. It belongs principally to weddings and funerals, Sundays and other holidays; but determined move ment is on foot to confine it to funerals, so that the friends may do a proper thing for the departed by wearing a mourning weed around their hats. No uoubt the time is not far distant when plug hat will betoken attendance at a funeral as surely as crape on a bell knob denotes a death in the family. In this hat there turks much innate de- pravity, which manifests itself at most inopportune times. It delights in get ting between a person and chair, in tumbling off into mud puddles, and in exchanging itself for a worse one of its kind. In fact, it is q cruel despot, making a slave of many worthy man. Its vicious qualities have worked its ruin, and soon plug hats and suspend CTS will no longer distinguish civilized people from barbarians.

ssOnIy a Street-Car Driyer, ,v

There was buried recently from St. Rose church, says the Cincinnati Inquirer, young man named Peter Rapp, street-car driver, unknown except to small circle of friends and neighbors, who died under circumstan ces the most painful. He was the only support of an aged father and mother. and the privations and suffering which he en- dured that they might have home, with such necessaries of life as his scsnty salary would provide, are supposed to have been the cause of his death. The father is crip- pied, having been wounded in the army. The mother was able only to perform such light labor as was necessary in the care of their household. All their money was pro- vided by the son. During the past winter, and up to a short time ago, when he was prostrated by quick consumption, he was in the employ of street railroad line in the capacity of a driver. His wages were not sufficient to provide all with the neces- saries of life, and he chose that he himself should be the one to suffer most. During some of the severest weather of the past winter he wore neither overcoat nor under clothing, and thus contracted the cold tn at soon resulted in his death It is rule of the company that driver must be ready to go out with his car at twenty minutes before six o'clock each morning, or receive no car that day. Although young Rapp had to walk four miles and half for sixty consecutive mornings during the cold wea- ther of last winter, he never missed a car. It Is another rule of the company that. when not on duty, driver shall not ride on car without paying regular fare. This rule, and his poverty, necessitated young Rapp walking home every night This made him daily walk of nine miles, in addition to the fifteen hours that car dri- vers are required to work each day. Stand ing on car platform for fifteen hours day, scantily clothed, perhaps hungry. walking to and from his work through the bitter weather, the suffering of this young man must have been intense. Through it all the comfort of his father and mother was uppcrmost in his mind, and for two months he never spent single cent of his wages for himself.

The SeXtOn.'

Nigh to a grave that was newly made, Leaned sexton old, on his earth-worn spade His work was done, and he paused to wait The funeral train through the open gate; A relic of by gone days was he, And his locks were as white as the foamy sea And these words came from his lips so thin, "I gather them in I gather them in .'' "I gather them in fsr man and boy, Year alter year of grief and joy, Eve builded the houses that lie around In every nook of this burial ground. Mother and daughter, father and son, Come 10 my solitude, one by one But come they strangers, or come they kin. gather them in gather them in "Many are with me, but still Pm alone, I am king of the dead and I make my throne On a monument slab of marble cold, And my scepter of rule is the spade hold Come they from cottage, CT come they from
 hall,
 Mankind are my subects-ali, all, all Let them loiter in pleasure, or toilfuliy spin I gather them in I gather them in "I gather them in, and their final rest Is here down here, in the Earth's dark breast, And the sexton ceased-for the funeral train Wound mutely over that solemn plain; And I said to my heart-whcn time is told, A Inightier voice than the sexton's old Will sound OCT the Last trump's dreadful din "I gather them in, Igather them in ,"

Curious Phenomena at Pike's Peak.

Some curious natural phenomena are witnessed from the summit of Pike's Peak. Electric storms are so remarkable
 here that those who have witnessed tlfem are eloquent as to their splendor. Little thunder accompanies them; but the whole mountain seems to be on fire, and the top one sheet of flame. Elec- tricity comes out of every rock, and darts here and there with indescribable radi- ance. An observer says that it played around him continuously shot down his back; glanced out of his feet, and so completely filled him that he became charged like Leyden jar. He could not retain his foothold; he bounded and re- bounded from the rocks after the manner of an india rubber ball; he felt as though a powerful battery were throb- ping and thrilling through his frame, and, fearing consequences, he hurried into the signal station. The signal off, cers stationed at the peak see some won derful sights, and if they had as much imagination and rhetoric as they have patience and power of observation, they could furnish some very vivid descrip- tions of what they witness. Several men of science, who have watched electric storms from the top of the mountain. think the phenomena the grandest and most imposing, and that they can hardly be surpassed anywhere. The peak com mands view of one hundred miles ra- dius, a wild mountainous region, contain ing many lakes, and the sources of four great rivers-the Platte, Arkansas, Rio Grande and Colorado of California. Im- agine that broad, picturesque extent kindled and glowing with electricity, and you have an ideal picture of sublimity which no poet has begun to paint.

FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
My Babes in the Wood.

Once, walking in the forest wide, Two little darlings I espicd. The leaves had not begun to grow, And chill winds wandered to and fro; Yet strange! beside giant tree No sweeter faces could there be Than those that looked up timidly, With teardrops in their deep blue eyes, While looked down with glad surprise. I thought of those two children sweet Whose story little folks repeat The poor, forlorn babes in the wood And then I spoke in kindly mood: "Dear little darlings! oh, how fair, All, all alone in this cold air. The night may bring snow and frost: Toll me, my pretties, are you lost ?" They seemed to nestle closer then, And, though I gently spoke again, They gave no answer to my words, But were as mute as songless birds. I bore them homeward tenderly, And called my little ones to see The pretty darlings had found. Oh how the merry shouts rang round Perhaps you may have guessed my pets ?- They were the first-spring violets.

Life is Too Short

hiic lS IO0 SHOTto Life is too short to waste In unavailing tears, Too short to spend in bootless grief, In coward doubts and fears. Too short to givo it up To pleasure; or to SOW One hour in guilt, to yield at last Eternity of woe. Time lags not on its way, But spans our days in haste; If life should last thousand years 'Twere still too short to waste. For, short-lived as we arc, Our pleasures yet, we see, Evanish soon; they live, indeed, Fen shorter date than we. But ever with us here Bides sorrow, pain and care; The shortest life is long enough Its lotted grief to bear. To the old the end is nigh; To the young far off it seems; Yet neither should dare to toy with lite Or waste it in idle dreams. For by each Times servant waits, Though not for servants wage; And the same worm nibbles the bud O youth
 That gnaweth the root of age. Live, therefore, as he lives Who earns his share of bliss; Strive for the prize that Virtue wins, Life's not too short for this.

Equal to the Emergency.

A young lady was sitting with a gal lant captain in a charmingly-decorated recess. On her knee was a diminutive niece. In the adjoining room, with the door open, were the rest of the company. Says the little niece, in a jealous and very audible voice, 's Auntie, kiss me, too" leave you to imagine what had happened. ]" You should say twice, Ethel dear; two is not grammar" was the immediate re- joinder. Clever girl, that. - London
