A WISE mar changes his mind; fool
never wil.-Spanish Prouerb.

perceives, though all around is beautiful

THE vices we scott at in others laugh
at us within ourselves. Sir Thomas
Browne.
He who stops to pick a flaw in others

No books are so legible as the lives of

THE greatest man living may stand in

ROBIN REDBREAST.
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.

Ny old Welsh neghbor over the way
Crept slowly out In the sun OF spring.
Pushed from her the locks of gray
And listened to hear the robin sing.
Her grandson, playing at marbles, stopped,
And cruel In sport az boys will be,
Tossed q stone ut the bird, who hoped
From bough TO bough in the apple tree.
"Nay,n said the grandmother, "haye you not heard
Ny poor bad boy of the fiery pit
AMI how drop by drop this merciful bird
Carries the water that quenches IT!
He brings cold dew in his little bill
And lets IL fan on the souls OF sin
You can see the mark on his red-breast stli
OF fires that scorch as he drops 1t in.
Ny poor Bron rhuddyn my breast-burned bird
Singing sweetIy from hmb to limb,
Very dear to the heart of our Lord
Is he who pites the lost like him.
Amen" said TO the beautiful myth,
Sing, bird Of God, in my heart az well,
Each good thought is drop wherewith
To cool and lessen the fires Of he'll.
Prayers Of love like raindrops fall,
Tears Of pity are cooling dew,
And dear to the heart of our Lord are all
Who suffer Ike MIN IN the good they do.

Apples.

Apples, in addition to being a deli
cious fruit, make pleasant medicine. A
raw, mellow apple is digested in an hour
and half while boiled cabbage requires
five hours. The most healthy dessert
that can pc placed upon table Is
baked apple. If eaten frequently at
breakfast with coarse bread and butter,
without meat or flesh of any kind, IT has
an admirable effect on the general sys-
TEN, often removing constipation, cor
rectilg acidities, and cooling off tebrile
conditions more etfectually than the most
approved medicines. Ii families could
be induced to substitute them for pies,
cakes ard sweetmeats, with which their
children are frequently stuffed, there
would be diminution in the total sum
Of doctors bills in a single year sufficient
TO lay in stock of this delicious fruit
for the whole seasons use.

sensational journal aud will lose east with
all parties. Whether the Garfield Chinese
letter was forgery, and its forgery was
committed BY Philip or not, remain to be
proved, but its recent conduct is strong
evidence that it desires notoriety regard

John Sherman and Governor Foster both
want the Ohio U. s. Senaiorship. Sherman
has the most money, but Foster has the most
popularity. But there can be no vacancy
until after the 4th of March next; the legisla
ture cannot fill vacancy until there is one,
and Gov. Foster cannot appoint himself, when
the vacancy occurs. Will he appoint John
sherman Not likely. II there should be
no election Ex-senator from Ohio, by the leg.

unless Gen. Garfield asks to withdraw his
credentials on file in the Senate, aHd the Dem.
oerats consent to the withdrawal, then the
election will have to be postponed until
another legislature is elected, when the Dem.
oerats may get the majority, as they are very
apt to do in an of year. We should not be
surprised if Judge Thurman should be re.
elected 10 the Senate after all.

DIN Nor STAY IN FLORIDA The Baltimore
San Nov. ~ says:-A man called at the City
Hall yesterday and desired Mayor Latrobe to
furnish him with pass to get back to New
York. He stated that in October he aud ia
others were induced to go to Jacksonville,
Florida, on the pretense that they were to &c,
employment upon some railroad which was
being built there, but that after their arrival
they found no such employment awaiting
them, butwere told that they had been brought
the re TO vote. In about two weeks the man
said eighty more men arrived, who had come
on tn same representation. The man denied
having voted, but said he started to make his
way back and had walked a good part Of the
way. He was informed that the mayor had
no appropriation at his command for the pur.
pose OF furnishing passes, and went away in
company with a republican who happened to
be at the mayors office, aud who promised TO
try to get him pass to New York.

Destruction of Game.

Game Protection Association in that
State, and laws have been passed for the
protection Of game against manuders
who hunt for the Philadelphia restaurants,
They arc asking for similar laws in Mary
land, 50 that the citizens of the Eastern
Shore may cooperate with them in making
the Peninsula Game Preserve which may
be enjoyed by residents only. This Asso-
eia,ion turned out, a short time ago, some
thousands of Messina Quail, which will
make their way into all the Eastern Shore
counties, only to be wantouly destroyed by
market gunners. Protective laws, like
those Of Delaware, would enable the people
ofthe Peninsula to cooperate with each
other in establishing one efthe finest Game
Preserves ever known. The Peninsula is
admirably adapted to the purpose, and the
measure IS one that deserves the attention
ofall her citizens.

The Rise in arain.

The rise in grain which Is nov being ehron
ieled, is not only simultaneous with bnt in q
great measure consequent upon the sudden
cold spell and the closing of the canals. The
New York canals, it was announced, would
be closed on December 22nd. Instead Of
that they were suddenly shut mp a month
earlier, with 1000, 900 bushels between Buff.
ialo and Albany and no prospect Of opening
until spring. This body Of grain cannot 20
forward to market without many delays,
Meantime the bulk Of it is already sold and
the deficiency must be Supplied By drawing
upon other stores. This is sufficient TO ac
count for the advance. The closing of the
canals will, however, throw great pressure
OF work upon the railroads these will prob,
ably advance freight rates accordingly, and
the additions thus made to the cost of wheat
and corn on the other side Of the Atlantic will
make European dealers much more careful
10 buying. The indications are that, with our
large surplus and the diminished needs Of
Europe, heavy speculative advaAce in the
price Of wheat may not he long sustained.
