GOOD HUM0R.

Good humor is reckoned a most valu-
BILE aid to happy home life. An equal
ly good and useful faculty is a sense of
humor, or the capacity to have little
fun along with the humdrum cares and
works of life. We all know now it
brightens up things generally to have
a lively, witty companion, who sees the
ridiculous points OF things and can turn
an annoyance into an occasion for
laughter. 1t does great deal better
to laugh over some domestic mishaps
than to cry or seold about them. Many
homes and lives are dull because they
are allowed to become too deeply im-
pressed with sense OF the cares and
responsibilities of life TO recognize its
bright and especially mirthful side.
Into such household, good but dull,
the advent of a witty. humorous friend
is like sunshine on a cloudy day. While
it is always oppressive to hear persons
constantly striving to say witty or
funny things, it is comforting to see
what q brightener little fgR is, and an
effort should be made to introduce it
around the home circle. 1t is well to
turn an impatient question sometimes
and to regard it from q humorous point
of view, instead of being irritated
about it. "Wife, what is the reason /
can never find clean shirt 2" exclaimed
good, but rather impatient husband,
after rummaging all through the wrong
drawer. His wife looked at him stead
lily for moment, half Inclined 20 be
provoked; then, with comical look.
che said, 81 never guess connudrums; l
give 1T up" Then he laughed, aud
they both laughed, and she went and
got his shirt, and he felt ashamed Of
himself, and kissed her; and then she
felt happy, and so what might have
been an occasion for hard words and
unklhu feelings became Just the con-
trary-all through the little vein OF
humor that cropped ont to the surface.
Some people have q peculiar faculty OF
giving humorous turn to things when
they are reproved. 1t does just as
well, oftentlmes, to laugh Of things as
to scold them Off. Laughter is better
than tears. and let there always be lots
-of good humor around home.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that we never sing,
And names that are never spoken;
There are treasures guarded with jealous care,
And kept as y sacred token;
There are faded flowers and letters dim
With tears that have rained above them,
For the tickle words and the faithless heart
That taught us how to love them.
There are sighs that come in Joyous hours
To chasten our dreams of gladness,
And tears that spring to our aching eyes
In hours of thoughtless sadness;
Fer the bithest bird that sings in Spring
will fit in the waning Summer,
And lips we kissed in fondest love
viii smile on the first new conner.
Over the breast where the lilies rest
In white hands stilled forever; -
The roses OF June will nod and blow,
Unheeding the hearts that sever;
And lips that qlIiver in silent grief
All words Of hope refusing
Will lightly turn to the Teeting joe
That perish with the using
Summer blossoms and Winter sBews,
Love and its sweet elysian;
Hope, like siren dim and fair,
Quckening our fantins vision;
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories hover;
Ryelids touched with the seal of death,
And the itful dream is over
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-07-31

T1r. ParIlcll.

This great Irish statesman and
active friend Of the Irish
tenantry, reached our shores on
Frilav last. So far as we have
read and been able to Judge, his re-
ception throughout country, will be
like the first one, very enthusiastic.
We believe this and for several rea'
sons, principally, because we, as a
people, become enthusiastic over
everything that is foreign and lm-
ported, whether it be an Emperor or
his wife's old needle; and further, be-
cause he will address a class Of his
countryman in America, that will,al-
most to a man, represent the tenant
class at home, the one, in whose IN
terests, he visits us.
The tenant in Ireland is next to, if
not the lowest class, and very small
proportion of our Irish citizens are
from the upper classes.
This together with the knowledge
that Americans have, of Ireland
woes, viii insure him largo and SYM
pathetic audiences, Of both Irish and
Americans, whenever he speaks.
Just what he expects to do, or expects
us to do, remains to be seen. II he
expects pecuniary aid, he will not be
disappointed, for we with our wonted
lberality and present prosperity and
plenty will not fail him when he
makes a call for bread for starving
Ireland. If he desires popular
demonstration OF disorproval on our
part, Of British rule in Ireland he
will, in all probab iIity, not be disap
pointed. If lie asks US for any direct
interference in the matter or any d.
rect recognition by our government OF
him, or his cause, he must be told,
what in all probability, England
would tell us, should we accede to his
request, that it is none Of our bus
mess.

They eat more mea IS per dlem IN
England than in America. There is
breakfast, luncl. at |, dinner at ) O.!

10. In some families there is light
tea between 8 and in the afternoon.
The first time I saw a late supper,
consisting Of 'joint, vegetables and
beer, | was uneasy, thinking it all
extra trouble on my account. For,
tunately l delayed all remarks to
that effect, and IN due time discover.
ed it to be the custom. Between 10
and - o'clock at night in London
you may see hundreds Of children,
plate in one hand and pitcher in the
other, scudIing about the streets.
They are after the fsmily's late sup,
per Of hot fried fish, fried potatoes
and beer. The fish and potatoes are
bought frying hot at public kitchens,
Two pence will buy Of these a hearty
meal for one, a penny or three ha
pence more for beer fills the bill. The
"ham and beef shops sell as low as
five cents worth Of cooked meats,
roast or boiled, and from cents
worth Of vegetables upward. Very
good meat they have, too, and very
nicely they cook lt.-Theso public
kitchens in the city Of London, and
there are thousands Of them, supply
the poor with dozen staple articles
OF cooked food much cheaper than
they can buy or cook it at home.
Give London beggar penny and
he can buy a bowl OF good soup and
a good sized piece Of bread enough,
on pinch, to last him a day. Give
a New York beggar two cents and
what can he buy? Yet ours is land
Of plenty. Every American at first
deems the late English supper the
sure road to dyspepsia. Yet there is
far less dyspepsia in England than in
America, and the late supper is uni
yersol, l adopted late suppers and
gained flesh, and have imported the
practice and kept it up even since. l
think there is as much harm going to
bed starved as going with a full stom-
ache. EGchange

THE
Baltimore GsaZetfe
FOE 1850.

1t would hardly be fair TO repeat
again the alarming informatloA that a
Crisis is approaching in Political af-
fairs but we honestly believe that the
next Presidential contest in this com
try will determine the question of
Popular Government. 1t is to be,
pure and simple, a struggle between
Capitalization on tie side and constl-
tutional Government on the other.
The Republican party has started
out with the assumption that this Is a
Nation OF Imperial forces and that
the war determined that States are
merely geographical convenlences.
On this platform they threaten to
nominate candidate for President
whose tendencies are undemocrahc
and whose instincts are not on the
side Of simple, Republican rule.
The Gazette believes that the war
settled the question that a majority OF
the people are opposed to any dissoIu-
ton Of the Unioa; that the right to
local enlightenment is as distinct
and as clearly defined as it was before
the war; that the Union created by
the Fathers was not changed by the
war, and that our system should re-
main Unchanged. TIE GNZATTl ro.

Labor.

We have never heard before such q
general complaint as there is this yeal
about procuring reliable labor. A
great many farmers are very much
discouraged about the general apathy
evinced by the negroes, about seeking
employment this year. Besides the
number who have left for Kansas,
large numbers Of hands have gone to
the swamp.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton" and necessity compels the far
mers, particular Of the hill lands to
procure reliable laborers from some
other source. A great many persons
are talking about sending for Swed-
ish immigrants another year as they
are very reliable and industrious

Another Failure to Solve MIR. Marett's
Problem.
70 the Editor Of the Comet:

TO the Editor Of the Comet:
In your weekly COMET of the 2Sth
ult., the Hon. E. J. Marett propounds
the following problem, and asks solu-
ton or Il reason why it cannot be
solved:
" A and b eXpend 5000 each for 200
acres of land. A takes his at 81 %
per acre, and B at 81 %. What will
be the share of each 20
The question cannot be solved, and
the reasons for its surdity are found
in the fact that 5000 worth of land at
| 81 10 per acre is ia 2-7 acres and
at - % per acre, the same sum will
buy IS SO acres, and the sum of these
will be 8 11-G3 mole than the Joint
purchase.
l have met with similar cases in
actual practice, and the only way I
have ever been able to manage them,
was to find the difference in price per
acre agreed upon by the parties, and
divide accordingly.
In this case the difference in price |
per acre is 30 cents, and the CORES
ponding difference in shares, will, |
therefore, be 24-62 acres. One half of
this difference added to one half the
whole number will make AS share
1921 acres at 81 1898, nearly, per
acre, while BIS share is $3.50 acres, at
g 2S.OS, nearly, per acre, making in
all 2OOacres 81 00per acre, rightly di-
vided according to agreement between
the parties.
And now, Mr.. Editor, viii you allow
me to propose problem to Mr.. Marett,
that occurred in actual practice, and
was solved promptly in the field:
A, B, and G share equally in the
purchase of 1000 acres of land at 81 So
per acre. But the land is of UNEQUAL
value, and A, to get the best part, ,
agrees to pay IS cents more per acre !
or his share than B pays; and B, to
get the better part Of the remainder,
agrees to pay 60 cents more per acre 7
or his share than c pays for his. How p
much land does each get, and at what \
,rice per acre. S. r. JONES.
