INTERPRETATIONS,

Although my early life on me conferred
Rich sense of sweet existence Ia land
Where Outlines bloemed bright flowers, where
every bird
Sang some blithe songs, where waved the potent
wand a.. z-...- eg.s
OF Youths aspiring dream. yet now stand
With thankful eyes appraised to heaven, for
Have left the vale. Round me repose the grand
snow crowned SerrAs. while scarce could sign
Because l seek to pierce the stormy, painless
sky.
There is certain narrow path which leads
Down to lane unfrequented by teams.
Yon hopping robins chlrp, chirp, quickly speeds
My memory to that dear place which seems,
In noonlit summer nights, fit home of dreams.
Oh! when in seasons Of the long ago, .a.... Is
Reyiving in tho suns returning beams, :
Earth ransomed beauty from her tomb OF SNOW
Beside that orchard path bird-songs nser oonjured

Taking Care Of Things.
Western Magazine.l

Western Magazine.
An elderly lady Of great sagacity WAS
engaged in looking over trunk of rare
old laces and embroidery for the purpose
of distributing them among number Of
grand-nleces. It was observed that
portion laid aside for certain niece
contained the choicest and most delicate
selections. On being asked why she made
this difference the old lady replied: II
give these to Mary because she under
stands the art of taking care of things.
In her hands they will last and retain
their beauty for years, while the other
girls would probably ruin and destroy
tnem in few months
The good OLD lady had really discover
ed and explained the secret of the great
difference in the appearance of many
young ladies, and older ones, too. Laces,
embroideries, neckties, gloves, and, in
fact, all the little refnements and ele-
gancies of costume depend for their looks
on the care taken Of them. It is not only
bad taste and bad manners, but it dis
plays real lack of personal refinement,
for lady to wear crumpled, torn or
soiled fnery. There is no need and no
excuse for it. Ali these delicate little
articles of adernment can be so carefully
laid away when not in use that their
freshness and beauty shall still be
preserved. So with gloves: so with
very fine dresses or garments Of
any sort. To see an elegant silk all full
of wrinkles, looking as though it had
been slept in, or to see handsome cloak
all out of shape and dotted with lint
through being carelessly hung up under
other clothes in a wardrobe, is offensive
in the extreme to refined taste. On the
, contrary, the daintily cared-for lace and
ribbon, looking fresh and bright as
) though just bought, the carefully done
. up collar, the carefully kept, unwrinkled
dress all mark the woman of real refine
ment and skill in the art of taking care
of things.
And the same art is a most necessary
one in order to the attractive appearance
of our homes. The housekeeper who
}. knows how to use things, and yet takes
care of them, is possessed of happy Sc
cret. It does children no good, it does
9 not make them whit happier, to allow
= them to pound or scratch or abuse things.
,. Entirely too much latitude has of late
q been allowed to children in this drec-
8 ton. If children wish to cut wood or
f drive tacks or ride on chairs, by all means
/ let them have play-room where prope,
Q materials will be afforded thep, but COM
pei them to respect good nature. They
+ are no better for being allowed to put
, their feet on chair seats or the carved
:, support of the center table. They have
= no business to put candy on the piano o,
!. smear it with greasy fingers. They may
y just as we'll be taught that the carpet il
t not for muddy boots nor the floor the
J, place for their hats. The mothers work
g is to give line upon line and precept upon
q precept in any case, and one of the besi
It things which she can teach her children
It through this educational process Is the
e. art Of taking care of things.

in spite Of the partial blindness that
followed the last wound, the bear lost
none of its quickness, and before Dag.
gers could get beyond it's reach seized
him by the shoulders again and tried
to get him within it's deadly embrace.
In the struggle for life that ensued
the hunter only escaped by the tearing
away of his hunting shirt, with which
not small part of the flesh III his
shoulders also left him. For ten min
utes following it was one continuous
hand-tO-hand contest between tho
hunter and the bear for life. In the
terrible fight they tumbled about
among the scrub oaks, Daggers defend
ing himself with a stout club he had
picked up, until the brush was iattened
down over an eighth Of an acre, and
both contestants we're covered with
blood. Daggers saw with the most in
tense satisfaction that the bear was
rapidly growing weaker from the
loss of blood, but at the same
time had grave apprehensions OF
his own tenaeity. He felt himself
growing weak and exhausted. The last
he remembered was the picking up OF
stone that weighed eight or ten
pounds and lifting it with both hands
above his head, hurting it at the bear
which was staggering feebly toward
him. When he recovered conscious.
ness he was lying at the foot of the
tree, where the hunters found him
He tried to rise to his feet, but could
not, but finally managed to come to 6
sitting posture. with his back resting
against the tree. The bear lay dead
five feet away. The injuries Dagger
had received were found to be nothing
more serious than bad scratches and .
few bruises. He was able to walk hom'
after an hour or so.

To SOFTEN HoRN.-To one pound of
wood ashes add two pounds of quick
lime; put them into one quart of water;
let the whole boil till reduced to one
third, then dip feather in, and if, on
drawing IL out, the plume should come
of, it is proof that it is boiled enough;
if not, let it boil little longer. When
it is settled, filter it out, and in the liquid
thus strained put in shavings of horn.
Let them soak for three days, and, first
amounting your hands with oil, work the
whole into mass, and print or mold it
into any shape you please.

A LIGHTED Weed.

A countryman on ferry-boat the
other night put cigar into his mouth.
and gentleman who was sitting next
to him handed him lighted weed.
The countryman took it and contempt
uously threw it on the floor, whereupon
the gentleman screamed:
what did you do that for, sir"
~'Oause don't smoke butts" was the
reply. -....
"But I gave it to you to take light
FROM" protested the gentleman.
"Well," said the Hoosier, I amt no
Greek; I chaw my cigars"
And he chawed, and that ended the
conversation.

Why He Stole.

He had wife.
His salary was $4,000 per annum.
But she complained.
She wanted better home.
Better clothes.
Nothing fit to 60 out in.
No country cottage.
Nor carriage.
Nor front pew.
Nor society.
She converted place on the ragged
edge Of the select FIVE hundred.
She kept it up.
Night and day.
And moaned and
Groaned and
Crowded and
Wept.
He lacked style, also.
As we'll as new clothes every six weeks
and various other things.
He knew how his employer made hun
dreds daily on the street.
A thousand or so would not be missed
for few hours.
So he took 1t and went upon the street
and won.
She got her seal skin.
He took more and lost.
More to get that back and lost.
More yet.
Defalcation discovered.
He wears the penitentiary check.
Others are going, too.

STATISTICS show that the inhabitants
of New Jersey who are in the State
prison have better health and longer
life than those who are out of prison.
Whether this is due to the strong con.
situations of the convicts, or to their
forced observation of the laws of health
is not shown by the figures. But, from
either standpoint, the facts are signif-
cant.
