Poetry of the Table,

More appetizing than all patent tom
les is perfectly arranged table, spark
ling with cleanliness. So let us be q
little extravagant in our fresh table
cloths, when soap, water and little
labor are all we have to pay. And now
we must decide, shall we have the best
china and do with some stoneware for
every day' Or shall we pay ourselves
the respect usually reserved for COM
pany? Clearly, we are the persons to
whom it is Of the most Importance.
Shall we sit down to odd plates and
cracked saucers six days that we may
enjoy gilded china the seventh? BY no
means. We will have plain white
french china, which can always be
matched when broken, and we will sit
down to It every day. In the same way
we will bring out the plated knives and
silver forks, and partake Of our food
with sense of our own deserts. We
shall feel increased respect for ourselves
also, with napkins and butter plates; SO
those we will have.

The Folly.

OF using mere stimulants finds its punish
ment in headaches and disorders of the
stomach. complaints which Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is admirably calculated to
remedy. This sterling tonic and regulat-
ing medicine inyigorates the stomach with
out exciting it; tranqullizcsthe nerves, by
restoring vigor to the organs most closely
in sympathy with them, namely, the gas
trio organs liver and bowels. A healthiul
impulse given to digestion is often the
means OF preventing serious and aggravated
physical disturbance, and there are many
preparations which are advertised and rec
commended for this purpose, but among
modern remedies none has achieved such a
widespread ard well earned reputation as
the article referred to- Physicians of emil
nence prescribe it, and the concurrent testi-
mony of respectable persons of all classes
and avocations, proves that it is every way
worthy Of the confidence generally reposed
in it.

Snakes Catching Fish.

Forest and S.ream,
One day, while catching minnows as
usual, | noticed number Of snakes, the
common water moccasin, approaching
the dam or footWay of stones. The
water yet lacked several inches of reach
ing tho top Of the stoneway, although
II was rushing in quite rapidly, and
corying with it many bull-minnows
anu small white perch which were UNI
able to resist it. Watching the snakes,
| saw one after another reach the dam
and take their station upon it, sub
merging themselves all but their heads,
which were raised about an inch above
the water, and pointed in the direction
of the coming tide. In this position |
counted seven snakes, arranged in I'M
Cyen intervals, in . space of less than
sixty feet. came to the conclusion at
once that they were fishing, and watched
them with a good deal Of interest.
Pretty soon | saw one head strike for
ward, going under the water, reappear-
ing in a moment with large bull min
now in its mouth. The snake immedi-
ately loosened its hold upon the rocks
and swan for the shore, reaching
which it disappeared in the bushes; and
this was repeated at intervals by each
of the seven snakes. When they re-
turned from the bushes, having made
short work of their "catch,h each snake
sought his own particular location on
the rocks there being no clashing of
interest there Vow how is this for
reason instinct? low do these
snakes re to recate themselves,
and the stag If the tide at
which to start heir fishing excur-
sion? How do they know that num-
Der of minnows win be swept over the
miniature fails made by the rocks1
These are questions that go beyond my
comprehension, and | leave them for
others to answer. But the facts re-
main, and anyone who will take the
trouble may verify them at any time
during the summer by visit TO Gravel
ly creek.

merry, bright-eyed American girls were
at window looking on to q court-y yard
Soon seemingly old man crossed the
yard. That's the marquis of X.,"
said one of the girls. HE lives in
garret of the house and lives by giving
French lessons" I'm begin lessons
with him tomorrow" then said one of
the youngest girls. And she did so.
She soon perceived that her master was
one of the most polished men she had
ever met. He was not over 30. Want
and grief alone had bent him into pre-
mature old age, for he had an aged and
sick mother to keep, which his earn
ings could not always do What did
our little American girl DOE She quiet
ly proposed to marry the marquis. l
need not tell you how readily he ac-
ccpted. This is the happicst marriage
between a poor French nobloman and
