To Young Men.

Some old genius gives the follow
ing elegant advice TO young men who
depend on father" for support, and
take no Interest in business, but are
regular drones in the hive, subsisting
on that which is earned by others:
"Come, off with your coat, clinch
the saw, the pillow handles, the AK, the
spade-anything that will enable
you 10 stir your blood. Fly around
and tear your jacket rather than be
the recipient OF the old gentleman's
bounty. Sooner than play the dandy
at dads expense. hire yourself out to
some potato patch, let yourself out TO
stop holes, or watch tho bars, and,
when you think yourself entitled to "A
resting spell, do it on your own hook.
Get mp in the morning, turn around
at least twice before breakfast, help
the old gentleman. give him now and
then lift 10 business, learn how to
take the lead, and not depend upon
forever being led. and you have no
idea how the discipline will benefit
you. ID, this, and, our word for 1t,
you will seem to breathe a new at
mosphere, possess a new frame, tread
new destiny, and you may begin to
aspire to manhood"

EGpei Of Teac. ing Cookery.

Household Departments" are very
good adjuncts 10 newspaper in their
way, when edited by woman, but
the male journalist who dabblcs with
tho heaven inspired mysteries OF
cooking runs a frieh'ful risk. The
editor OF the Petaluma Weekly Pea
zine started a column of tina: kind
recently, and II few days afterwards a
fierce looking female came into the
office, carefully eoncealing some OBJ
ject behind her apron.
Are you the man that published
that new and improved way 10 make
currant cake?'
He said he was.
You said TO mix washing soda
with the flour, and then stir in a little
corn meal and sweet oil TO give il

"I-I-believe So"
"And then to add fifteen eggs and
some molasses. and two ounces of
gum arabic, and set in cool place TO
bake?"
Il think that was it,"
@Well, take that. tten,' and the in

Big Bones.

On Friday afternoon while some
men were digging ditch On the farm
OF Peter Notes.-The, in Cedar Greek
township, they discovered the bones
OF IA huge animal which. upon being
submitted 10 Prof. Latham OF tho
high school. were Unidentified as the
remains OF mastOdOn giJdnteus.
The bones were found about three
feet below the surface and were scat
tered along a distance Of about fifteen
feet. The thigh bone weighed about
thirteen and a half pounds, aud the
jaw bone about six pounds. -Four
large teeth were also found. All OF
the remains found weighed about l25
pounds. Prof. Latham thinks the an-
imal must have been from eight to
twelve feet high, and from eight TO
fourteen feet long. He will visit the
scene OF disc oyery in "a few weeks.

Silent In1Eenc.

We are touching our fellow beings,
on all sides. They are affected for
good or for evil by what We are. by
what we may say and do, even by
what we thiuk and feel. May flowers
10 he parlOr breathe their fragrance
through the atmosphere. We are
each Of us silently saturatiDg the at
mosphere about us with the subtle
aroma OF our character. In the fam
lily circle, besides and beyond all the
teaching. the daily life of each parent
and child mysteliousIy modifles the
life OF every person in the household.
The same process on wider scale is
going on through the community.
No man liveth, to himself and no man
dielh to himself. Others are built up
aud strengthened by our unconscious
deeds; and others may be wrenched
out of their places and thrown down
by our unconscious influence.

Years are carried off on the wings
OF moments.
Without it man hardly knows
whether he is honest or not.
Great efforts from great motives
is the best defniiion for happy life.
The easiest labor is a burden 10 him
who has no motive for performing it.
Anxiety is the poison of life; the
parent Of many sins. and OF more
miseries. Why, then, allow it. when
we know that all the future is guided
by Fathers hand?
The more gross the fraud the more
clibly will il go down, and the more
greedily will il be swallowed, since
folly will always find faith wherever
impostors will find impudence.
The water that flows from a
spring does not freeze 10 the coolest

faithful hearts, we must love; il we
would have strong muscles We must
labor. Thege include all that is
valuable IN life.
Norman can be suspicious OF others
without making others suspicious OF
him. and 10 man can spend bis time
in talking against the honesty OF
others Without exciting the feeling
that he himself will bear watching.
The great comprehensive truths,
written on every page OF our history,
are these: Human happiness has no
perfect security but freedom; free
dom none but virtue; virtue none but
knowledge; and neither freedom nor
virtue has any yigOr or immortal
hope except in the principles and
sanctions OF the Christian religion.

Song 81 the seal.

Oh, the wonderful Songs that never ate sung
With words tor an outward token;
But 90 singing themselves lOg ay" in the soul
In a language that il spoken.
Songs that sYveeter than poets ( or feiiTcti;
All their powers and their beauty exceiiIn=;
With a melody pnrer and tsnderer iar
e Than the notes that their numbers are swelling.
Songs every true lover sings to his love,
Born OF his deep-hidden feeling,
Such az sing themselves low in the pure maiden :
breast.
For fear of an outward revesling.
Songs that the mother heart sings othc babe
In peace on her bosom reclining.
That gives spirit voice To her hopes and fears.
Tender beyond ali defining.
Wild, thrilling songs that awake every chord
When the soul ~ exEltant with giadnesS.
That sigh through its chambers Ike voices OF night
When they utter its burden and sadness:
That breathe through the spirit with sOftwhisper-
ing notes,
Like Win Is o-er June roses signing.
When passion is s.iled. and peac. reigns within,
And the heart hnshed and tranquil - lying
Such songs are sung through all the wide world,
And never once known ere the singers;
But their music is echoed from heart INTO heart,
And its sweetness and power ever fingers;
And but for the singing of such voicel' rs songs,
In souls filed with hope and longing,
Oh. dT-sry indeed would be the dark road
Earths children hurriedly througing.
For nanythe poets whose numbers are formed
In the unwritten language OF spirit,
While few the ones who in words the lips frame
The power 10 express them inherit.
And rare is the voice that Is perfectly tuned
Wh' the words are the outward token,
But never 4 soal but sweet music make
In the .,nguage that never IL spoken.

The Lynn Mystery.

The difficulty Of Identifying. under
certain circumstances, a dead BODY,
has just illustrated at Lynn, Mass.
There the remains OF young girl
found in a trunk near Saugus river
were positively recognized as those
OF three or four different persons,
though very little investigation
proved that in each case there was a
mistake. Now the mystery has been
solved The mother OF Jennie
Clarke, for that was the name Of the
wreiched victim. was positive that
she was right. She recognized
mole on the join. between the. fore
finger and the thumb, and, singularly
enough, she herself had n similar
mole on her left hand. She had an
nounced that she would put the body
to this test before making the exam
ination. Nothing could be fairer or
more certain. There lis now also a
iCGoOndOtt iOPO "hooC
malpractices caused the death, under
such shameful circumstances, OF Jen-
ME Clarke will be discovered and
made to pay the penalty of their
crime. To all appearance these, the
worst of murderers, the man who
ruined the girl and those who killed
her by their barbaiities, wele safe
from suspicion. They had frightfully
dis1gured the face by cutting off the
nose. Then they had carried that
body to desolate place in trunk
and left it. They did not reckon up
Oh the Identification Of the girl
through so slight a clew IS a mole
upon the hand. The incident shows
how hard it is to remove all evidence
by which identity can be established.
