PROF CLIFFoRD.-The editor OF the
late Prof Cliiiord's Essays says OF that
brilliant young scholar: "Iiere was a
man who utterly dismissed from
thoughts, as being Improbable or worse,
all speculations on a future or unseen
world; man to whom life was holy
and precious, a thing not to be despised,
but to he used with joyiullness; soul
full of life and light, ever longing for
activity, ever counting what was achiev-
ed as not worthy to BE- reckoned in com.
parison of what was left to do. And
this is the witness of his ending, that
as never man loved life more, so never
man feared death less"

SHAKESPEARE wrote long ago: "Tis
ever common that men are merrlest
when they are from home, and, more's
the pity, 1t is as true now as 1t was IN
Stratiord and London, nearly three
hundred years syne. 1t is common
but not by any means universal ex-
perience. Men ought to be the mer-
REST under their own roof tree, and
among their own kith and kin, yet it
often is not their own fault that they
are not. But, wherever the blame lies,
one thing is certain the men who are
"merriest away from home" and who
cannot share their pleasures with their
own family may get some happiness out
of theirlves bit heyp az unnecessarily
high price for an inferior article. Now all
you young Benedicts, cut that chunk Of
wisdom out and paste it in your hats.

gTomen's Treatment OF womer.

There lisa general sentiment thatw0men
do not stand by each other, as men do by
men; that we are envious, narrow and
small where our sex is concerned; that
the greatest obstacles professional women
have 10 overcome are the prCjudices Of
women themselves: that If woman com
mits a fault nobody is so quick and ready
to heap rcprobation upon her as another
woman. All this is, to a certain extent
unhappily true The fashion Of women
sneering at women is passing into disre-
pute, so that now-a-days no woman who
expects 10 pass as a wcil-Dred lady is
guilty Of the bad taste Of speaking dis
paragingly or siightingly Of her own sex.
Now and then one does it, thinking there
by that she wins the esteem Of men by so
doing. She can make no greater mis-
take. Men admire large-mindedness and

much as women admire those qualities in

pcct men to honor and revere US unless
we ourselves honor and revere our own
sex.

Webb HAYES Joke.

II No less marked characteristic of the
President and his wife than their concili-
Hory manner, which, l am convinced, IS
natural to them, is their exuberant en-
Ioyment of good-natured and refined
pleasantly. A joke upon themselves Is
apparently relished more than any other,
Ind, in their own family, each member
binds frequent occasion to play harmless
lest on the others, the children doing this
with their parents as freely as with each
other. VIZ. Webb Hayes, who has a
keen sense of humor, astonished his pa
rents and the friends with them Zone Of
whom told me the story last fall, at one
of the Target public receptions held By
the President and Mrs. Hayes in the
West. He-the wag of the family
while thousands were passing up TO shake
hands with the couple, pulled his hat
down over his face, drew his coat tight
around him, aud, falling into the line,
glarely walked up to his mother, and,
taking her hand to shake it, as the others
did, stood for moment, and graveiy
said, il a clear, raised tone, that al might
hear, God bless you, Madam, for your
noble adherence to the temperance
cause" Mrs. Hayes, though taken un-
awares, thanked him gravelv, without
any appearance Of recognition, and he
passed on with the crowd, leaving those
who heard, outside of the Presidential
party-to imagine the speech was heart
felt.

NNOt at Home.V

A sign on Crogham street, says the De
troit Free Press, informs the public that
washing is done there, and 1t was quite
natural that mechanic working near by
should take bundle under his arm and
call there and ask of the boy on the step
''Bub, is the washwoman ing"
mo, sirr' was the prompt reply;
''there's no washwoman lives here at all
''But that sign says washing done here,
remarked the man.
''Spose it does?" remarked the boy in a
higher key-"spose it doesl A lady may
become the victim of unfortunate circum-
stances to such an extent that she is will
ing to wash and iron shirts, but that
doesn't make washwoman OF her, does
it2n
Il thought it did," said the man.
'Humphl if you draw buggy down
to the shop to be repaired, does that make
horse of youl"
The man was silently turning away
when the boy added:
IF you want to find the lady of unfor-
tunate circumstances, go round to the side
door. but the washwoman isn't at home

The Sensitive Plant.

In our greenhouse is a small plant call
ed 'The sensitive plant 1t is pretty,
delicate, and so shy. If you touch it, it
does not prick you like the rose, or poi
son you like the sumach, or make you
smart like the thistle, nor doesit even net
tie you; but it shrinks away from you
just as if it were afraid. Its little leaves
clasp each other and bend down to the
ground, as much as to say, "Please go
away and don't harm poor little me- and
you want to say, mo, no; l will not touch
you if it hurts"
But if you do not mind, and delight to
poke it every time you see it, it gradually
lOoses its sensitiveness, end behaves at last
as if it didn't care any more than you.
God gave the little plant its sensitive
ness in order to guard ii from danger; and
of course, when it loses its tenderness it
loses its last defence against harm.
Does this remind you of any thing? 1t
always makes me think OF the little sen
sitive plant which God has planted in the
garden of our heart. You know its name.
Is it not called conscience How natu-
rally it shrinks from the touch Of evil!

His name is Linkshaw, and he lives IN
North Carolina. Mr.. Linkshaw is q
Methodist who sings out Of tune. re
always sung, and always made discord.
Finally the congregation requested MIR.
Iinkshaw to subside. He wouldn't do
it, and sung louder than before, ana in
such way as to make one-half of the
congregation laugh and the other half
mad. Even the pastor lost his temper
under Linkshaw's singing, and the pre-
siding elder kept away from the church.
Endurance ceased to be a virtue, and
legal proceedings were begun against
the uprorious singer. He was indicted
by the Grand Jury of Robson county,
and, when the case came to trial, was
found guilty OF disturbing the congrega-
ton. Linkshaw took an appeal TO the
Supreme Court and the Judgment OF the
lower court was reversed. the Supreme
Court holding that singer of the Link
| shaw type was proper subject for the
| discipline of his church, but not for the
| discipline of the courts. As 1t stands
the case is bad precedent. Mr.. Link
shaw's fight against church discipline
will be watched with Interest.

The Oldest Obelisk.

Next after the greatest, it may be in
order to notice the oldest of the existing
obelisks. This is the one close to the
modern village of Matareeah, or the site
of Heliopolis, IN the land of Goshen,
near Cairo. A single perpendicular line
of hieroglyphics ornaments each side and
| records its erection by OsjrtasenI.. or
probably about B. c. 5000. The in
scription, with one exception, is the same
on all sides. A myriad of wasps' nests
now completely obscure the carvings on
two Of the surfaces. Authorities differ
regarding its height. but 66 feet . inches
is given as the latest measurement by Ma
riette Bey. Nearly six feet of the length
is buried in The accumulation of soil de-
posted by the Nile; and the stone, even
at the surface of the ground, presents
sad evidences Of the destruction caused
by repeated visits OF the water. The OPP
posite sides only are equal, the measure
ments at the base being feet inch and
6 feet 3 inches. Pococke gives 6 fee
and feet inches as his finding in th
same connection. The southern side
the shaft is the best preserved, while til
western is in the worst condition, on az
count of having scaled to height c
about fifteen feet. This obelisk is SUI
posed to have stood at the entrance b
the great Temple Of the Sun, whep
Moses studied theology. Remnants f
the temenos or Enclosure of this sanctt
airy still remain.

A Canadian CHANGING to converse one day
with Liverpool acquaintance in the shoe
trade, the pair were joined by an English
manufacturer of shoes, who shortly said,
'By-the-bye, had call yesterday from
the representative of an American shoe
house, Mulliky & Co. Mullarky & Coo,
and doyou know that he showed me goods
made in Montreal, and offered to lay them
down in Liverpool so per cent. cheaper
than l can manufacture them here!' Il
hope" said the first Englishman, that you
do not encourage that sort of thing"
well" said the other, Il don't see why |
should not, if the American house will
make the goods to suit our market, and at
such prices as they named" The result
was that lasts We're sent out to the firm
mentioned, with conditional order for
some of the goods OF which samples had
been shown.

A Good Presentation,

Personal cleanliness is not invariably a
"passion," even with individuals in the
upper ranks of society. We have heard
OF British General, whose antipathy to
additions was a matter of notoriety among
his friends and acquaintance. Meeting
one OF them, the General complained or
being unwell
"What seems to be the matter?' in
quired the gentleman.
"Can't tell" said the General; "but
don't feel exactly WELL
"Allow me to prescribe" said the gen
tleman.
No objection being offered, he advised
the General to lose no time in procuring
ga convenient tub, half filled with tepid
water, and big-sized lump of brown
SOAP
'Apply the soap and the water liberal
ly," said the gentleman, "and repeat the
experiment again and again"
"Why,n said the General, "that simply
amounts to washing myself"
The gentleman, putting on very seri-
Gus look, remarked, sit is liable to that
objection"

his position as managing editor of the

work as Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune. Mr.. Smalley
gives as q reason for this change his

but the Cleveland Plaindealer intimates
that the local quarrels in that city were

OF such a character, that Colonel Smalley
couldn't stand the pressure, and there

Our Overlooking Commerce.

At no time within our recollection mas
there ever been such an universal Juror
for the domestic export trade as that now
prevalent, SAYS the North American. All
the details OF our OVERLOOKING products
are hashed and rehashed in innumerabIe
forms. Items from foreign sources, CIV
ing accounts of the triumphs of our man
ufactures abroad. are quoted with eXulta-
ton. Statesmen dwell on the subject
with pride. Philosophers discuss the
subject lucidly. Financiers are astound-
ed at the figures The decay of Ameri-
can commerce" sounds rather funny now,
when our trade is so prodigious. The
railroads labor under the tremendous
burdens of produce. Fleets OF vessels
swarm into our ports to carry away the
immense stores Of merchandise.
Every floating resource that can be
made available for the export trade is
turned into that channel, and the stream
is rapidly swelling into immense volume
and rushes onward with resistless ener-
CIV If this shall last as long as these
manias usually continue-that is from
five to ten years-we may see American
commerce attain height never even
dreamed of before. We have found the
KEY to national independence in the
maintenance of a great, favorable bal
ance of trade, and seem likely to make
full use of il for our own purpose in the
near future.
To the producing forces Of the Repub-
lie this amazing growth Of the export
trade has been truly blessing. 1t has
enabled the South to rccupcrate from the
losses OF the civil war 1t has made the
West rich and prosperous. 1t has re-
ieved the railroads and manufacturers.
1t has provided foreign markets for our
surplus production. Ii has given fresh
impetus to domestic emigration. 1t has
inspired American capital and enterprise
with new zeal for internal development
and fortified the national confidence in
the protective tariff. And these exports
are so varied that a decline is not likely
TO ensue, in consequence Of crop failures.
For a short crop Of cotton or grain would
not be apt to affect the export of pro-
visions, petroleum, tobacco, live stock,
leather, coal, iron manufactures or dry
goods. And while the balance rolls up
each succeeding year SO handsomely, new
vigor starts up in unexpected quarters,
and unlocked for prominence is given to
previously obscure products.

Turkish Counting.

The Turkomans have a peculiar way If
doing their counting" The ancient AID
much-discussed usage Of marriage by
capture" takes the form Of q very Singh
lar game, which is universally popular
with the tribes of the Lower Oyus. 1t is
known by the curious appellation Of
''kok-buri' green wolff, name which
has never been satisfactorily accounted
for. The mode of playing is as follows:
When Turkoman belle finds herself
embarrassed by crowd of rival suitors,
her father settles the matter by assem-
bling them all in a convenient place on
the open steppe. He then brings out his
daughter, nrayed in the pomp of Turk
Ouiun 'Iuil ureds, anu SettIUg ner upon
swift horse places IN her hands the car
cass of lamb or kid, well creased from
head to tail, with which she instantly
gallops away. The young gentlemen
follow her at full speed, and endeavor to
snatch the prize from her hands; any one
who can succeed in doing SO being there
by entitled to consider himself 1.-The
happy man." 1t sometimes happens. of
course, that when the cavalier, vino is the
object of the young lady's secret prefer
ence comes within arms length, she will
hold the kid in such way that he can
easily wrest it from her; but should a
less favored suitor overtake her, she
grasps 1t with all her strength, and the
ill-starred lover gets nothing but good
roll in the sand for his pains. When all
is over the father regales the whole com
pany with sumptuous feast Of rice and
mutton suet, for which he afterwards
''sends in the bill'' to his future son-in-
law, who is often anything but fattered
by this expensive compliment.
