THE LAST VICTORY.

But from tho sound of fife aud drum,
And from he struggles on come;
From sceues of blood and scenes Of war,
Their thoughts are winged to homes afar;
To homes where ORANGE blossoms blow;
Where dark and slugg sh bayOus flow
Where, meath lHt warmth Of sultty skies
All nature dreams an slunbrOus lies.

pied over them, he told me that he
found Mrs. McPherson's cow in the
grounds with that sign tied to her horns.
The gate had been taken from the
hinges, and the animal had apparently
been driven about to do as much dam
age as possible. 1t seemed almost in
credible that any one would have the
boldness 10 ayow such piece of vii
lainy."
Bert sat with his eyes fixed upon the
sign, unable to move or speak, but at
that instant he saw, written in pencil at
the top of the board " Compliments of
Bert Andrews.' ~
"How mean," he exclaimed, angrily
"That is some of Will Moore's work. +"
"My boy" exclaimed his father,
looking as if an immense burden had
been lifted from him. 81 shall be the
happiest man in town to know that you
had no hand in this rascally business. "
Then Bert's heart fell again. He
thought he had only shared in the fun,
but he suddenly realized that his COM
panions had so contrived that he should
also bear the disgrace and the blame for
the unlooked-for results.
After all, it was relief to both IA
Their and son when the whole story was
told. Bert was relieved at having made
a full confession and feeling himself re-
stored to his fathers confidence, while
his father was glad of the assurance that
his boy had not been guilty of malicious
mischief.
" Nothing more fortunate could have
happened to You than this very first adj
venture should bring you into trouble,
for remember, my boy, that the acts
themselves would have been just as dis
graceful if things had not resulted as
they did. The law does not trouble it.

sponsible for the mischief which results,
or which might be expected to result,
from our acts"

"They seem to have had no scruples
about telling of you," said his father.
81 shall certainly go to their fathers
and do what can to save them from
certain ruin. As for you, Bert, advise
you to go and have talk with DR.. Par
kerr"
Bert never reported his conversation
with the good old minister, but they
shook hands very cordially as they
parted, and the Doctor was often heard
to speak of Bert as IS fine manly fel.

Bert likes fun as well as ever, but he
has habit of looking very cautiously al

"A gentleman living in the northern
part of the county has been SO unfortu-
nate as to have lost five excellent wives.
He lately determined to erect a tomb
stone at the head of each, commemorate
ing her virtues, and has only been de-
TERED from so doing by the expense at
tending the carrying out of the design.
Yesterday he came to the city, happy
thought having struck him, and arranged
for the tombstone. The five wives were
buried side by side in the same grave
yard. This is the happy thought: The
Christian name of each wife to be on a
small stone-"Emma, "s.Jane, ""Mary,''

A Bachelors League.

Many highly respectable men in
London about thirty years ago, as the
Punch files tell us, had become thor
oughly impressed with the idea that
something ought to be done to relieve
themselves from certain social duties
which had been gradually growing more
and more onerOus. After some can
wasting among the interested persons it
was finally decided to form League of
Bachelors, and as the members of that
league were endeavoring to escape
from responsibilities which are noto-
riously shirked by the young men
of to-day, we shall perhaps interest our
feminine readers by transcribing a few
of the rules which were laid down
for London society almost gener-
alton ago, and which are likely to- be
revived before long on this side of the
water:
1. Every bachelor joining the Lea ne
is to cancel all previous engagements.
2. Every bachelor having subscribed
for FIVE years to the League, and who,
by misfortune, shall have incurred a
matrimonial engagement, shall be
defended against any action for breach
of promise, and thus saved from the
shame and misery of going through the
Court of Hymen, which is too FREE
quently another name for the Insolvent
Court.
5. Connected with the League it is
intended to establish Bachelors In
surance Office, to insure single men
against marriage and Irritation, on the
same principles as are usually applied
to death and fire. Any member having
visited willfully house with more than
two manageable daughters, will, in
the event of the calamity of marriage
Detailing him, be recorded in the same
light as felo de Sc, and his policy will be
vitiated on account of the very bad
policy that will have guided him. ANY
bachelor falling-into matrimony-by
his own hand, as in the case of written
promise to wed, will be deprived of all
the benefits of his insurance, and every
applicant proposing to be insured must
answer the following questions, among
others that will be proposed to him:
What is your age next birthday? At
what age had your father the misfortune
to marry your mother? Have you
DCCu dlllCtCu Win tiC OCl uldll VI OtIlcI
maniaP Are you subjected to senti-
mental fitsP Have you been addicted to
the writing of sonnets? Or have you
ever suffered from the cacoethes scriben-
di in any shape, or at any time whatev-
er? Have you at any time in your life
been victim to the flute, or any other
deadly-lively instrument? Have any of
your near relations fallen in love at any
time, and if so, have they recovered, or
have their cases ended fatallyP
If these questions are all answered in
satisfactory manner, any member of
the Bachelors League may insure any
amount under $1,000, to be paid within
three months of the melancholy termi-
nation of his single career, on proof of
wedlock having actually overtaken him.
The insurance against Irritation or fire
can be effected where the applicant is
more than ordinarily infammable, and
watering-places in the season, balls and
picnic parties must be considered as
doubly or trebly hazardous, and charged
neutrality-suspicious. Times.

Science and Industry.

The peanut crop of Virginia, Ten
nessee and North Carolina is estimated
at about 1885, 900 bushels-an increase
of about 100000 bushels over last year.
--Ice-cutting on the Kennebec in
Maine employs $4,000 laborers, who
have just had their pay raised from
$l.25 to $3.50 per day.
Palmetto paper manufacture is so
successful in Florida that twenty mills
are to be established in various parts of
the State, where the material is plenty
and transportation easy.
Manufacturing clothing in Chicago
gives employment to $4,000 people, and
the value of the goods made il So, 000,-
900. This industry has doubled in four
years.
The Swiss exports to the United
States in 1879 show an increase of 15,-
100000 francs on those of 1878, the
chief items of increase being cotton
goods, watches, and embroidery.
-Leipsic, Germany, has put on the
market colored inks, which may be used
for writing labels on glass, iron, mar
BILE, mother of pearl, and metal. The
writing is done with goose quill, and
when dry, adheres so firmly that il can
not be removed by any liquid. Four
different colors are made, black, white,
red, and blue.
"A new industry has been started
in Flushing l.. l., that of constructing
houses in sections which can readily be
put together with movable pins. No
plaster is used, and the buildings are
neatly finished inside, the boards and
beams being beaded and polished. The
houses range in price from $500 up
ward, and are chiefly shipped to the
West Indies.
The oldest turpentine fields north
of Newborn, N. c., are we'll nigh
abandoned, the industry having been
largely diverted to the more productive
pine forests of South Georgia. But
there are, according to the Raleigh Oh
server, immense tracts of virgin pine
forests in the southern belt of
North Carolina, capable of supplying
Wilmington with naval stores for CEN
fury to come.
Herr Hambruch has patented in
Uermany revolver lead pencil, con-
tanning three, four or more leads in a
separate partitioned tube, placed
eccentrically to the outer case, and
capable of being turned round in differ
ent positions, so as to bring different
leads successfully opposite to the mouth
of the pencil. A plate, with aperture,
in the outer case allows passage of only
one lead at time.
