How Time Passes in Paris.

You may talk about the marvels of
pneumatic clocks, the convenience of
monster omnibusses, the rapidity of COM
munication between one quarter of Paris
and another, but it is no use trying to
show that the Parlsians have no time to
spare, and that they are never in hurry
They have so much time that they don't
know what to do with it. They waste
their time like child wastes his gayety,
or rich man his gold. They squander
i looking at the stars in heaven, or the
waters flowing under bridge. Did ever
any one calculate the time spent by the
Partisan in reading handbills and post
ers2 When dog barks at cat, when
two sparrows make love 10 each other
on roof, when the canary has escaped
into the street, at once a crowd assemblies,
ninety-nine per cent. of which does not
know what 1t is all about. The mar
riage of a corner grocer with the daugh-
ter OF the cheese-monger almost excites
riot; the passage of a coach and four
causes great excitement; the Parisians
Will stand tor hours with their ieet In
the mud to see procession which will
not pass until the next day, If 1t is to
pass that way at all. The Parisians are
children who amuse themselves by play.
ing at business like schoolboys who play
at war. The only difference is that they
have taken their amusement au serieux.
If pneumatic clocks did not exist, and if
the day were only four hours long, you
may be sure that they would find time
to play dominoes and hang around
the church door to catch glimpse OF
the bride.-ParSsi0n.

BY THE STREAM.

Sweet tangled banks, where ox-eyed daisies
grow,
And scarlet poppies gleam;
Sweet changing lights, that ever come and go
Upon the quiet stream!
Once more 7 see the flush of splendid wings,
As dragon-fies fit by;
Once more for me the small sedge-warbler
sings
Beneath sapphire sky.
Once more feel the simple fresh content
found in stream and soil,
When golden summers slowly came and went
And mine was their spoil
find amid the honeysuckle flowers,
And shy forget me.not,
Old boyish memories of lonely hours
Passed in this silent spot.
Oh, God of nature, how thy kindness keeps
Some changeless things on earth!
AND he who roams far of, and tolls and WeeI;s.
Comes home to learn their worth.
Gay visions vanish, worldly schemes may fail
Hope proves an idle dream,
But still the blossoms flourish, red and pale,
Beneath my native stream.

cular- headed windows with their heavy

ney-piece with its classic ornamentation,
that the architect has but reproduced
some mansion or the early Georgian era,
with which he was familiar across the

oaken bookcases, framed in drapery OF
dark red cloth. Here and there on Or

among them a fine effigy of General
Washington. Easy. chairs and reading
stands are scattered around.
In the centre of the room, which is
covered with well-worn Persian carpet,
there sits, writing at round table, lit

man, apparently about seventy. his long

The Clowns Baby.

One night during the performance of a
pantomime at bennington, in which VIII
liam Ginnett took the part of clown,
u curious hitch ocSurred. At the mo-
ment when that ever-mischievous indi-
vidusl had to run on the stage with
baby, supposed to have been stolen frem
some preambulator, which said baby is
then thrown violently at the policeman as
he rushes in, staff IN hand, the dummy,
or the property baby, as 1t is termed, was
nowhere to be found. 1t so happened
that woman was standing near the ring
door with her baoy In her arms at the
moment when William Ginnct came for
his dummy. Seeing that it was not FORTH
coming he at once snatched the baby
from the woman's arms and rushed with
1t into the ring. The woman, thinking,
no doubt, that her child would be sub
jected to the same treatment the dummy
had to undergo, was tor rushing pell-
NELL after the clown, her struggles to do
so when we le trained her being at once
laughable and touching. assured her
that the baby was as safe in the clowns
arms as IN her own; and in the end that
proved to be so.
Ginnett tossed the baby up and down,
and made pretence to throw it at the po-
liceman, but handled it as tenderly as q
woman could have done. Cheers and
roaTs of laughter arose from tho audience
when they discovered that the clown had
real baby in his arms, and recall had
to be complied with before the child was
finally handed over to its anxious mother.
Many of US regretted that We had not al-
lowed the woman to rush in after her
baby, as it certainly deprived the audi
ence of passage alarms rarely to be wit
messed on any stage.

HamIine University.

Hamline University, located between
st. Paul aud Minneapolis, has been placed on
a strong and safe financial basis. Anew build
ing has been erected for the purposes OF The
University and it was dedicated July 2O, free
from debt An immense number OF people
were present, and the exercises were in the
highest degree interesting. Judge Brill, oi
st. Pau, President OF the Board of Trustees,
introduced Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, OF the NJ.
E. Church, who delivered an earnest and eio.
quent dedicatOry address. At the conclusion
Of the Bishops address, Prof. d. G. John,
the President of the University, made a
brief address, and then asked for SUBJ
scriptions to the endowment fund. A grand
total of S14. 800 was secured. After the morn.
ing exercise had been concluded, a dinner of n
picnic character was served and full one
thousand persons partook Of the bountiful re.
past furnished. After the dinner, the spacious
chapel was again crowded to its utmost ca
pacity and the exercises were opened by mu-
sic from the Fort Smelling Band. Choir mu-
sic was also rendered. Prayer was also Of
fered by Rev. Jabez Brooks, and short adj
dresses were delivered by Rev. DR.. Van Anna,
Rev. W. @. Rice, Rev. j. F. Chaffee and
Rev. E. D. Huntley, President of Law
ence University of Appleton, Wisconsin.
The present building which was dedicated
yesterday was commenced in 1873. The cor
ner stone was laid the next year, and the
building was enclosed in 1876. 1t has been
erected and finished 80 lar at an expense of
some $45 000. The endowment fund at pres
ent consists OF S72 900 of which $4,000 is pro-
ductive and $33,GO0 of it unproductive, to
which must be added the amount pledged at
the dedication, $14 0O0 making in all $76 800.
In addition to this amount the university owns
the 80 acres surrounding the building, and
real estate in st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Chicago besides some farming
lands. The institution is out of debt,
with the exception of a light floating
debt which in no way embarrasses it: Most
of the productive endowment fund bears ten
per cent interest. 1t is proper to state that a
number of friends of the university who were
unable to be present at the dedication have
promised contributions, which will swell the
amount pledged 10 $4,000.

Newspaper Patronage.

There seems to be many different ways
OF understanding the true meaning OF
newspaper patronage, as it is called, and
as an interested party, we give place to q
disquisitlon of the subject by one who
knows whereof he speaks. It will serve,
perhaps, as mirror where certain per-
sons can sec themselves as others see
them.
Many long and weary years forced the
conviction upon us that newspaper pat.
ronage is word of many definitions, and
that great majority of mankind are
either ignorant of the correct definition
or are dishonest in a strict biblical sense
of the word. Newspaper patronage is
composed of as many colors as a rainbow
and as changeable as chameleon.
One man comes in andisubscribes for q
paper and pays for it in advance, and he
goes home and reads it with the proud
satisfaction that it is his. He hands in
his advertisement, asks the price, pays
for 1t and goes to his place of business,
and reaps the advantage thereof. Anoth-
er says, "you may put my name on your
book" and goes off without saying word
about pay. Time passes ON, and you
want money, and you want HIM to pay
you what is honestly due you. He flies
into pass on, perhaps pays, perhaps not,
and orders his paper stopped. This is
called newspaper patronage.
Another man lives near you-he don't
take the paper--he don't like the editor
the paper is too small for him-yet he
goes regularly to his neighbors and reads
it, and quarrels with the opinions of the
editor. Occasionally he sees an article
he likes. he begs or gives half dime for
the number. This is called newspaper
patronage.
Another man likes the paper and takes
a copy for his family, anu pays for it
and does all he can to get new suDscrib-
ers; he never grumbles, but always has a
cheerful word for the editor. If any lit
tie item of interest occurs in the ntigh.
borhood he informs the editor. This is
newspaper patronage.
Another man has patent and wants
you to give it two dollar notice every
week; it will be OF interest to your read.
ers, he says; but although knowing il
will benefit him most of all, he does not
offer to pay for it. This is called news.
paper patronage.
Another man has taken the paper fol
several years, but has not paid for it. and
comes In with four or FIVE dollar adver
tisement and asks you to insert 1t fol
nothing, because he is an old patron o
yours. This Is called newspaper patron
age.
Another mana young man about
town." no use of taking a paper; ht
knows all there is going on. By-and- by
he gets married, and sends in notice
with ':just give me dozen copies" HI
gets them, and when you mention pay
looks surprised-"You surely dom
charge for such thingv' And this ii
called newspaper patronage.
Now isn't newspaper patronage curl
Gus thing?
And in that great day when the gen
tlemen in black gets his dues, as he sure
ly will. how many of the patrons enumer
ated above will fall to his share! Now i
will be seen that while certain kinds o
patronage are the very life and existence
of newspaper, there are other kinds o
patronage that are more destructive thai
the deadly night-shade.

Yes, the house in which he lives was

According to the German imperial
statistics for 1878 of births, deaths and
marriages, just published, the estimated
population being 44,2O0,00O, the mar
riages numbered $4,000, the births 1885,
600, and the deaths ], ,22S, 900. In France,
the number of births was 1000, and of
deaths $4,000, SO that the births exceed
deaths by 67,000. In Germany the excess
of births was 551. 000-that is to say, that
while in France the population increased
in 1878 at the rate Of 81 per cent, it IN
creased In Germany at the rate of 1.25
per cent. The number of marriages In
Germany has greatly fallen off since 1876,

Into the new and unknown,
Trembling and terrified, fsarfully
Lifting Ii es burden alone;
Braving its dangers more cheerfully
when we the stronger have grown.
Still, like old earth so receivingly
Taking the bad and the good
Taking, nor choosing, belle yingly
Ever the best as we could;
Sadly repenting them grieyingly
Striving to do as we should.
Long may we wonder auspectingly,
Ingrates whom passions enslaye
Scornfully, proudly, rejectingly,
Serving the mercy God gave;
Nor look to Him who protectingly
His arm forth stretches to save.
Thoug ughtlessly, carelessly, musingly,
Playing at life's cheekered game;
Ever the tally-sheet loosingly
Scoreth list to our name;
Braveiy our conscience accusingly
Stirreth our senses with shame.
