Yes, we are all growing old, though

Children grow up around us. but We get

we loved so much and to whom we con-

To be sure, the few friends of our youth

GOSsIPs AS MURDERERS.

1t is well-known fact that the
malicious slanderings of gossips have
caused more trouble in this world than
almost any other cause. The liquor
traffic has been assailed again and again,
but it is very doubtful if this traffic, so
much decried. really does as much harm
as that class of people. only too large,
who are continually seeking opportuni-
ties to vilify their neighbors and to ruin
their characters in the light of all their
friends. Could the secrets of various
persons be read it would be found that
many person has been driven to suicide,
and many happy home broken up, on
account Of the stories set afoat by those
who, having no business of their own,
employ their time IN prylng INTO ana
mlslnterpeting the action of others. A
case illustrating the results of this gos-
siping habit was ANNOUNCED in the Asso.
ciated Press dispatches of few days
ago, dated Norwich. Conn ''z;be Sid
10y Of East Killingly, attacked his Sleep
ing wife with club, and beat her about
the head so that her recovery is consid-
cred impossible. The cause is believed
to have been jealousy needlessly excited
by gossiping neighbors."
Here is one of the most serious crimes
known to the law committed on person
innocent of the offence claimed by the
gossipy neighbors. The husband. led
on by blind jealousy due to these scan-
dal-mongers, murders his wife. 1t is
sad commentary on the Christian spirit
which is supposed to exist in this nine-
teenth century that people should allow
their unbridled tongues to bring a brutal
death to an innocent person and another
person to the gallows. The murderer
will probably be hung. and it is pity
that the same punishment cannot be
meted out to the gossips who virtually
caused the murdered woman's death by
their falsifcations. They will be held
directly responsible by the Great Judge
for the crime with the commission of
which the husband is charged. Were it
possible to try and convict them by an
earthly tribunal, as accessories to this
murder, it would undoubtedly furnish a
wholesome and much needed warning to
other gossips of the possible result of
their malicious ISLANDERS. Erchonqe.

REGULARITY OF HABITS.

Very few persons understand how
greatly health and happiness in this
world depends upon regularity of their
habits-the constant recurrence of those
events which we are apt to refer to as
tiresome and monotonous. During the
earlier periods of our life this ''even
tenor" is essential to our well being
and though we may feel like kicking the
traces when at zenith of power and
activity, and sometimes fly off at tam
gents OF get rid of our super6nous ener-
gies in odd aud eccentric ways, yet we
usually come back, or at least try to
come back to our moorings. and gladly
accept the tread mill path of daily duty,
which if it brings no ecstatics of pleas
ure. leaves no remorse.
Every one can understood how dis
agreeable it would be not to be able to
make sure of ones dinner; to lose the
enjoyment of abundance of good water,
daily bath and daily paper, but upon
the recurrence of many more and much
smaller minutie do We depend for our
daily comfort. We like certain kinds
of bread at every meal; We want meat
always cooked certain favorite ways,
and expect to find it so as naturally as
we expect the sun to shine. We get to
seeing certain things in certain places,
and We could not miss them upon any
account; a tree, bush, a picture. or
chair which occupies the same place
for years acquires value to our con-
sciousness which only the habit of see
ing it can give it. The world seems
very large in growth. and full of many
and varied interests, but it contracts as
we grow older. and the objects of value
to us narrow themselves down to those
which we know to be real. and which
form our lives Naturally as these grow
dearer. and the more we dislike to miss
them from our sight and sense. No
lives are SO happy as those which are SO
we'll ordered that there is little to resign.
and to which. therefore, every year brings
added interest and added enjoyment in
the regular discharge of individual and
social duty.

ROSAMOND.

In the fragrant bright June morning, Rysamond the
queen of girls.
Down the marble door-seps loiters, radiant with her
sunny curls;
Ger the greenswad through the garden passes to the
rivers brink,
Throws away old bouquet, and wonders if'twill
float sink
Then returning through the garden round and round
the lawn she goes.
Singing shecuts fresh roses-she herself her worlds
fair rose;
In hor dainty morning robe, and straw hat shading
half her face,
Picturesque in form and feature. lovely in her youth
and grace;
In her hand little dagger sharp and gittering in the
Ring hearts of thorny bushes cutting roses one by
one,
Pink and white and blood-red crimson, some in bud
ard some full blown
There through lawn and grove and garden sings she
to herself alone;
Softly sings in broken snaches some old song of Spain
or France.
As she holds her roses off at full arms-ength with
sidelong glance,
Shifting groups of forms and colors for painters eye
hath she,
And all beauty pleaseth her. artist.lke and fancy
free
Now she enters her boudoir and sets her roses in
vase
There for days and nights their bloom and fra
GRANGE fill the place.
When the petals droop and fade she'll bear them to
the rivers brink,
Singing, throw them on the waves. and wonder if
they'll float or sink.
Win she bear away tonight bunch Of lovers rose
hearts-pray
Set them in her vase q week-then throw them with
her flowers away?

SIX LITTLE FEET ON THE
FENDER.

In my heart there liveth picture
OF a kitchen rude and old,
Where the 1re-light tripped DER the rafters,
And Redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gliding the steam from the kettle.
That hummed on the foot worn heart,
Through all the livelong evening.
Its measures of drowsy mirth.
Because of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude old room
Because Of the voices echoed
Up mid the rafters' gloom
Because of the feet on the fender
Six restless, light little feet;
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are to me SO fresh and sweet.
When the first dash on the window
Told of the coming rain;
o. where are the fair. young faces
5s That Sss STUTdsG W SSss IsstnF e shs pane
Their dimpled cheeks between,
Went struggling out in the darkness,
In shreds of silver sheen?
Two ofthe feet grew weary,
One solemn Autumn day,
And we tied them with snow-white ribbons,
Leaving them there by the way.
There was fresh clay on the fender.
That ram.alled, sobbing night;
For the four little feet had tracked it
From the grave on the brown hills height.
OF why on this darksome evening
This evening of rain and sleet-
Rest my feet all alone on the hearthstone p
OF where are those other feet?
Are they treadng the ways of that Wisdom
That will lead us together above?
Or have they made steps that would shadow
sisters measurless love?

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives the following salu-
tary advice: The short run of players,
rifemen. billiard champions and men of
sporting life generally, is remarkable

the bottom of this. Men who indulge
in the cup can't control their nerves. and
men who can't do this 60 to the wall.
The bad shooting of some men. of whom
so much was expected, resulted from
their cup of indulgence. One of the
best marksmen in the city said recently
that sin rife shooting the variance of q
hairs breadth made the difference at
the muzzle of one hundred yards; and
a man must have absolute command of
his nerves. A man who would win must
not steam" Dan Mace, when in his
prime on the road, drank only lemonade
heard him say: "a single glass of
whiskey affects my nerves. Men who
drink on the road would not entrust
their valuable teams to me if was not

THE PHosPHoREscENcE OF THE SEA.
The illumination of phosphorescence
of sea water at night. observable in this
latitude in the summer, and at all times
in tropical regions. is largely due to
Noctiluca mitiarfs. 1t is gelatinous
little speck of fellow. in shape like a
peach, but only l-S0 of an inch in diam
eter. The light. which is of a greenish
hue, arises from scores of minute points.
A glass of water that is taken where
these creatures are present may contain
myriads of them. Nets and ropes drawn
through the sea pick up millions of Noe
tiluca, and the ropes and meshes are
made luminous by them until they be-
come dry.
