THE FIRST TIME AT CHURCH.
From the Argosy.

from the AfSosy.
Just three years old and without thought of all
the rites and creeds;
Just three years old and unconscious quite OF the
souls unbounded needs;
Content it should draw what life it may from the
food on which it feeds
Just three years old! and brought to church to sit
IN tho narrow pew
And wonder mt all the mysteries that rise before
her view
The noiseless movement down the aisle the crowd
and faces new;
The organ that peals out many strains, though
hidden from the sight;
The arches, and windows Of stained glass that
tower to such height;
The eagle that bears the Bible up the choir in
their robes Of white.
To wonder and watch with childless awe that is
more than mere surprise,
That seems to catch in the tones Of earth some
echo of the Skies
And reflects itself in the tender face in the solemn
wide gray eyes,
Out of whose cloudless, dewy depth glimmers the
earliest ray
OF the awakening love whose dawn heralds a fuller
day,
When. though the shadows may darker lie, the
,nists will melt away.
Just three years old! and brought to church. though
she can take no share
In the praises rising to Gods high throne, in con-
tession or earnest prayer;
Brought but to learn the reverence due to the
awful presence there.
Just three years old! with folded hands she kneels
when the others kneel:
And surely the blessing which falls on them may
also gently steal
Over the innocent baby head bent down in mute
aDpeal.

A MatrOn ElOpes.
Hamilton (Ont.) Spectator.

A painful sensation has been created
at Belleville by a statement published
in an evening paper that Mrs. Myers,
wife of the jailer, has eloped with
George Newbold: alias Harry Howard,
alias Proctor, notorious bigamist and
confidence man, who was at the spring
assizes convicted of obtaining goods
under false pretenses and sent to jail
for six months. It is stated that Mrs.
Myers, good looking lady of 40, who
was matron of the Jail, became infatu-
ated with the prisoner, who is fine
looking fellow, during his imprison-
ment, and, on his term expiring, she
deserted her husband and family, max
ing pretense of a visit to friends in the
United States. She returned to Brock
vile and wrote to her daughter, who,
on joining her there at her request,
found her living with Newbold, and re-
turned home despite her entreaties
that they should join her. The par
ties are we'll connected, consequently
the sensation created by the affair is
all the greater. Previous to this I'M.
fortunate occurrence the conduct OF
Mrs. Myers had been above reproach.

GETTING UP An APPETITE.
How DIR. BOsse of st. Louis Persuaded
His Wife to Eat by Means Of II

How Df. BOSSe OF st. Louis persuaded
His Wife to Eat by Means Of
Club,
From the Covington (Ky.) Daily Commonwealth.
Married people cannot be too care
full in guarding against the spirit of
discord. It is most insidious. It as
sumes a thousand shapes. 1t may
dash into the family circle at a mo-
ment when it is least expected. The
other day in St. Louis this bad spirit,
in the shape Of a roast duck, invadeda
happy family with results stated below:
DR.. Louis Bose of st. Louis was
married last July. Now his wife is
suing for divorce. Her chief cause of
complaint is given in her testimony as
follows: eve had roast duck for
dinner, with onion stuffing. When he
saw the onions he got just like a wild
man and threw down his knife and
fork, cursed me and called me names,
and asked me what kind of eating that
was. He wouldn't sit down to the ia
bile then, but went and sat down in the
kitchen. I wasn't eating then, and he
asked me why didn't eat. I said to
him: If you will not eat, will not
eat ether He then said if you don't
sit down this very minute and eat, will
show you who is boss in this house you
or T. He forced me to 60 to the table
and sit down, and I took some victuals
on my plate just to please him, but l
couldn't eat. He then went and got a
stick and stood behind my chair and
said to me: Here, do you see that
stick? That is for you, and if you will
not eat now, I will break this stick on
your back. will break every bone in
your body. Fill up your plate and eat.
I then filled my plate for good, and he
kept standing behind me till I had the
whole plate emptied."

OF them. ana SO he muSC, no QOuDC;
for if even the earth keeps perfume
of the person who has walked over it
hours before, surely every object about
us must have some faint smell or 9TH
er, either of itself or of objects which
have touched it. When we remember
that a single grain of musk will scent
hundreds of handkerchiefs So as to be
recognizable even by our defective Or
gans of smell, there is nothing extrav-
agant in the idea that passing creatures
may leave traces, discoverable by keen
er senses, on all the pebbles or straws
which lie across the road. Thus the
smells which make up half of the dogs
picture of the universe are probably
Just as continuous and distinct as the
sights which make up the whole pic
ture in our own case, and which doubt
less coaleses with the other half in the
canine mind.
We human beings remember smells
but i'll. The facts mentioned above,
however, show that the dog not only
recognizes, but also rem embers, smells
far better than we do. His high dis
elimination of odors is joined to an
equally high power Of memory in the
same direction. Ancharsis rem TENDERS
from day to day the smell of my
clothes; he recognizes old friends, after
long absence, by their odor; he recol-
lects and knows the distinctive per-
fumes of every bird Or animal. Nay,

LIGHT. NOT NOISE.

One of the members Of the bar in
Saratoga, who thoroughly enjoys a
good Joke, relates the folInw wing, and
applies the moral to himself
Not long since, be was counsel in
a case before Judge Pratt, referee,
and during the progress of the trial
became little bit noisy, as he some
times does, when the Judge looked
up and said to him:
"Mr. -, did you ever hear of
the man who was lost in the woods
during thunderstorm 7"
On being answered in the negative
the Judge continued
ga man, 10 attempting to pass
through a piece of woods, lost his
way, and bile he was in this pre-
dicament, a fearful thunder storm
came up. The woods grew awiulIy
dark. The roaring of the wind and
the crashing of the thunder was ter
rife. The mao was frightened and
started to pray, bat not being used
to that business, said sob, Lord,
give us little more light aud a little
less noise p don't mean you, Mr..
-, added the Judge, but the
audience supposed all the time the
Judge did mean him, and now, that
he thinks of it himself, he inclines to
that opinion also.

MoIsT SAND FOR THE Pics. The
necessity of allowing pigs free access
to plenty of moist sand or earth in
one form or another is urged by a
correspondent of the Mich Zeitung
who censures the system of feeding
swine exclusively on skim milk,
meal and such materials, which in
his opinion is responsible for many
of their ailments. He advises the
addition of troughs of wet sand in all
pig sites. 1t isl ia we'll known fact
that yong pigs which have never
been released from then pen, when
turned out for the first time, begin
q. once to eat sand greediIy if &C
cessibIe, or if not will indulge in a
feast of earth and cinders.

we pay cotton picker is now the all
important question with the farmers.
From thirty-fve to forty cents per
hundred is at this time the ruling
price paid hands. We learn, how
ever, there is a general disposition
on the part of the pickers, to grum-
BILE at these prices, and there is some
talk of strike for higher wages
Thirty five cents is remunerative
price for this kind of labor and it is
fully as much as is paid anywhere in
the United States. Last year the
price for picking ran up to fifty
cents per hundred, which was out of
all reason it took somewhat more
than one sixth of the cotton to pay
for this one item in its production.
Farmers can get their cotton picked
for thirty-fge cents just as easily as
for fifty certs.

lean people are the most extrava-
CANT in the world is an undoubted
fact. Daring the last few years we
have so often written on the neces-
sity for economy and reduction of

less to reiterate argument.
A few figures, however, may,
perhaps, speak more forcibly than
can words. We give them Not

hard times which has been drummed
into everybody's ears for the last
twelve months, the people have
smoked more than two hundred mil
lion dollars worth of cigars, and have
consumed. in addition, twenty FIVE
million, three bur dred and twelve
thousand pounds of tobacco. OF fer
mented liquors, notwithstanding our
enforced economy, we have drunk
three hundred aud seventeen mil

OpcuARDs-If the land is sandy,

ORCHARDS. If the land is sandy,
or very stiff clay, it is not good for
orchards but the stiff lands are bet
ter than the sandy for most fruits.
A loamy soil which contains sand
and clay is the best for fruit trees.
All calcareous soils are suited to fruit
culture. AlIuvial soils produce large
trees and an abundance OF fruit, but
it is not so finely favored as that
produced on the soils we have allud-
ed to. Fruit growers should avoid
planting the trees on very gravelly
land.

The Political Outlook in VIRGINIA.

WASHINGTON, July 1O-A Republican.
writing OF the results of the Readjusters' con-
vention in Virginia, comes to the following
conclusions as to the outlook: How far the
the interests of the Republicans lie with sthem
and just where they diverge and separate, it is
clear that while the election of the Garfield
and Arthur ticket in Virginia will be no easy
task, it is entirely within the bounds of posi-
BILE achievement, providing it is confided to
proper hands and undertaken in season. 1t
will be necessary not only to provide money for
the payment of the poll tax, but to make sure
that it's applied to this object. TheReadjusters
will undoubtedly try to coax over the colored
voters, but they will not resort to the BULLDOG
ing methods which1 the Conservatives, pure
and simple, have hitherto resorted to, and
their own interest will compel them to insure
a fair election and an honest count If they
should be beaten by theRepublicans at the polls
and yet secure a majority over the Funders,
they will shed few, if any, tears, but sproceed
to renew their alliance with the Republicans
in State affairs with view to results in 1881.
The Readiusters of Virginia have practically
rejected the tenets of the old Democratic State
Rights party along with its race intolerance of
opinion, its bred in the bone prejudice against
foreign labor and enterprise and its hostility to
an advanced school system If these new ideas
should triumph, il is impossible to deny that a
new future would open for Virginia and that

ings it would bring in its II AIM"
