Writing Comnositions.

Humanity runs In just about the
same veins, and the veins are just
about as deep to-day as they we're
a thousand years before the flood.
The boys of the present age live
just about as long, and are just
about as much "boy" to the square
inch, as those of the preceding gen.
GRAFTON. Their fathers are actuated
by the same motives, moved by the
same passions, and spend a lifetime
in pursuing the same phantoms
that men dIei chasing years ago,
and soon will come down to the
charnel house and there lie side by
side.
Human nature hasn't changed
particle since Adam was a boy.
History throws no light upon the
subject, but we are warranted in
presuming that old Adam and all
the little young Adams protested
vigorously against writing compost
tions. We can readily imagine
that when that dreaded Friday for

his ink, and another had actually
broken his pen, and so on. And,
finally, when the teacher told one
that he must write a composition
on Christopher Columbus, and
when it was produced-three weeks
behind time-it ran as follows:
''The subject of this composition
is c. Columbus. Columbus is the

example? Even bonnets consume
quite an amount of small change,
and l think it scarcely helps to car
ry out those charitable views and
aims-this constant changing of
these things. l know it is very
popular to change hats and bonnets
every few days, and they must wear
all the elegant ones; and it takes a
great deal of the useful to keep
them fourishing. All of these
things have their influence, and
they are effectual in helping to bal
ance the scales of useful life. We
think of these things when we see
those people soliciting a dollar here
and a dollar there. II they would
save few of those extra spent dol
lars, they might be the means of
doing much good.
No one knows the amount of
good that may arise from even 81
when it has been rightly disposed
of. There is a great deal of suffer
ing in this world that may be much
alleviated with a little money, a few
dollars, and the good seed that may
be sown in this way may bring a
plentiful harvest in the future.

About Girls.

The poorest girls in this world
are those who were never taught to
work. There are thousands OF
them. Rich parents have petted
them; they have been taught to de,
spise labor and depend on others
for living, and are perfectly help
less. If misfortune comes upon
their friends, as it often does, their
case is hopeless. The most forlorn
and miserable women upon earth
belong to this class. Every daugh-
ter should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as well as the
poor require this training. The
wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around
the rich are very likely to become
poor and the poor rich. Skill to
labor is no disadvantage to the rich,
and Indispensable to the poor.
Well-to-do parents must educate
their children to work. No reform
is more imperative than this.

Ronv Milk.

When cows are suffering from
any functional disorder, the milk is
at once affected. Sometimes the
milk is acid, and soon becomes
thick and ropy, and is often clotted
In the udder, and is drawn in strings
and clots. Epithelium scales and
cells, which enter into the structure
of the milk glands, are sometimes
drawn from the udder with the
milk, and when the milk is at rest
these or the clotted milk fall to the
bottom, and form a suspicious and
disagreeable impurity. The rene
dy is to restore the COW to a health
full condition by appropriate treat
ment. A brisk purgative, a pound
of EPSON salts or a quart of linseed
oil, may be given, and afterward re-
peated doses of an ounce of hypo-

Too Particular.

A girl maNnot ask a man to be-
come her husband; but there are
many ways in which she may with
propriety communicate to almost
any bright young man her ideas con-
corning him. They are not set
down in the guide-books. They
are not part of our written litera-
ture. They come not by rule and
regulation. They are above and
beyond all these, and responsible to
no law. Impossible though it be
to define them in words, the Ian
guage of love speaks them more
plainly than cornet voice. Most
girls start out in life with the in
tention of marrying somebody,
though many of them are what is
called too particular. The girl who
wants to marry, but is not easily
suited, looks around to see what Of
fers, and finds that this mans beard
is too red, that ones eyes too blue,
and the other ones ears too long.

Nothing that we eat is more valu

except bread be more missed. Ami
mails, will travel great distances and
brave many dangers to obtain it.
On the coast of Sierra Leone, broth
ers will sell their sisters, husbands
their wives, and parents their chill
dren, for salt. In the district of
Accra, on the Gold Coast of Africa,
a handful of salt is the most valua-
bis article upon earth, after gold,
and will purchase a slave or two.
Salt with the Bambaras is such a
luxury that to say of a man, "He
favors his food with salt" is to i'm
ply that he is rich. No stronger
mark Of affection can be shown il
MuscoVy than the sending Of salt
from the tables of the rich to their
poorer friends. Splitting salt was
held to be an unlucky omen by the
Romans, and the superstition has
descended to ourselves. Leonardo
di Vinci availed himself of this ira
dition in the famous picture of the
Lords SUPPER" TO indicate Judas
Iscariot by the salt-celler knocked
over accidentally by his arm
When we say of shiftless fellow
that ''he does not earn his SALT" we
unconsciously allude to an ancient
custom among the Romans; for
for among them a man was said to
be in possession of salary" who
had his 'salarium," allowance of
salt money or of salt, wherewith to
SAVIOR the food by which he lived,
Thus SALARY" comes from ''salt,"

he packed them close in barrels,
and poured upon them the brine
above described. For small hams
three weeks would be long enough
to stay in the BRINE, but if large
ones, then he would let them re-
main six weeks. He then takes
them out, dries them, but does not
allow them to freeze. When prop
erlY drained he smokes them.

Canes in young Chickens.

rapidly that in some poultry yards
eight-tenths of the young chickens

Horace Greeley's Brother.

Nathan Barnes Greeley, brother of
Horace Greeley. lives in Erie county,
Pa, FIVE miles from Cory. TO a
newspaper writer he recently related
the following incident. which is char.
acteristic of Horace: "When Lincoln
was elected | took a notion that
would like to have the appointment
of mai agent on one of our local
roads. The salary waa 81, 600 year
which was big thing for me. I
knew Horace could get me the APP
pointment. l spent some money
travelling around and getting recon-
mendati0nS, and / succeeded in get
ting what / thought was sufficient. I
had letters from number of leading
business men along the route, as well
as from the party mens and these I
forwarded to Horace, with a letter
asking him to help me. What do
you suppose he did? He wrote back.
returning my recommendations, with
the information, peaned in his OWE
hand, that he could get the appoint
ment for me without the slightest
trouble, but that he didn't want to
do it. He wanted me to stick to the
farm. He said was the emily boy at
home, and he thought it best that
should stay there. | wrote back and
explained to him that / could be at
home quite frequently; that at that
time the salary of 81 900 a year wotiid
help me out very considerably; that
another party had offered to take the
position for $500 year. wound up
by urging him to help me to the ap-
pointment. His reply was this: If
another man offers to do this service
fer $500, and you expect 81 900, that
isa excellent reason why you should
not have it. If you had it the Cow
ernment would be losing $500 a
year, In the same letter he made
me this PROPOSE ion: Stay on tine
old farm, and if I do not raise more
corn this year on two acres than you
do on ten acres, 1 will give you $780,
Not being in position to better my
self, l stayed on the farm and accep-
ted his proposition. l picked out ten
acres of as good ground as had and
planted it in corn. He planted two
acres. When we measured up in the

Even the South Carolina bulldozers
have had spasm of Civil Service
Reform. The Legislature, which is
composed mainly of Democrats who
were elected by tissue ballots, has
passed a serious of resolutions in
structing the States delegation in
Congress to take such measures as
may be expedient for the reformation
of the Civil Service, etc. This ought
to give the agitation of the subject a
tremendous impetus. When men
who set all law, moral and civil, at
defiance rise up and demand 4 refor-
nation of the Civil Service, they
show that the subject is no longer a
local issue, hut one which is pre-
foundly stirring all classes of society.

Appeal in Behalf of the Maryland Bible

Society
The Managers of the Maryland
Bible Society desire to call the atten-
ton of the Christian Public to its
condition and needs at this time.
Organized in 1888, it has pursued
its work for nearly half a century, in
which no man can tell what bless
ing it has been to thousands to whom
it has carried the WSrd of Life.
We observe with great solicitude
the serious decline in the last few
years, in our receipts, indicating a
growing Indifference to this Cause.
The contributions by the Churches in
the City have been growing less for
ten years past, till Che average of the
last four years is only one. half of
what it was fram 1870 to fS75.
Notwithstanding the diminished
contributions, there has been no
abatement In the work of the Society ;
but steady increase in its issues for
the last four years, 20,709 volumes
having been distributed last year a
larger number than during any of
the proceeding seven years.
During the past summer five Col
perteurs were sent into Counties that
had not been canvassed since 1870,
and the extent ol destitution of the
Scriptures existing among those yisi.
ted, shows clearly the need of tliis
work. Three young men in Dor
chester, and one each in Hartford and
Queen Anne, rendered service of Y
months in all, in wlrich time they
visited l0,S00 adults, more than one
eighth of whom were destitute of the
Scriptures. 2063 volumes were dis
tributed, the greater part being sold,
and the balance given to those un
able to buy.
During the first half of the current
pear year, to September Both, the
value of books given in all channels,
iaciudingS2 Sabbath Scheels supplied
at the cost of S550.54, amounts to
Sl743.S4. The expense attending
this distribution, for salaries for Col
porteurs alone, was SS6695, making
y direct outlay of S2Gl0.79.
For the same time the contribu.
tions from churches and individual
Christians for the whole State only
amounted to- S9l3.S3.
We are now in debt to the Ameri-
can Bible Society more than $1,000,
with no funds to meet the obligation.
ln view of the destitution stated
above, and the ever increasing de-
mand for the supply Of Sabbath
Schools, who will say that we ought
to withhold the precious volume
from the thousands growing UP in
ignorance and sin?
We feel fOrcibly the responsibility
that is upon us y continue this good
work, and We earnestly appeal to ev.
cry Christian in the State to send Us
help and especially to every Pastor,
and all Church Officers, to aid the
cause, either by special collection,
