-'"From grave to gay" is the order
of life, and of newspapers as weIl-so
we revive the old and amusing story OF
the miller who sometimes had crazy tits,
in which he always imagined himself to
be the Lord Judging the world. On these
occasions he would put on a paper
crown, ascend pile of meal-bagS with
great dignity, and call his neighbors in
succession. The same ones were al
ways judged and they were the millerS
of his vicinity. The first one summoned
was Hans Schmidt. "Hans Schmidt,
stand oop. Hans, vat is been your pish-
ness in dat oder vorld?n 81 vas a
miller, o Lort!" "Vas you a ioost
man?n "Vell, ven the water vas low,
and the pishness is pad, o Lord, | some.
dimes dakes a leetle exdra doles. "
"Vell, Hans, you shall 90 ofer init te
gotes, already yet" and so in success
sion all were tried and Immediately
sentenced to go over to the goats. Last
of all, the miller invariably tried him
self in the following style: "JacOb
Miller, stand oop. Jacob vat vas your
pishness in dat oder vorld?" 81 vas a
miller, 0 Lort." "Vas you always a
ioost man, Jacob?" "Vell, 0, Lort,

Long Life.

We are accustomed to consider three
score years and ten the length of human
life, but the late Professor 4 araday
adopted the theory that the natural age
of man is 100 years. The duration of
life he believed TO be measured by the
time of growth. In the camel the union
takes place at eight, in the horse at i've,
in the lion at four, in the dog at two
in tife rabbit at one. The natural ter
mination is five removes from these sew
eral points Man being twenty years
in growing, lives five times twenty
years that is leo; the camel is eight
years in growing, and lives forty years;
and so with other animals The person
who does not die of sickness lives every
where from eighty to 100 years. The
professor divides life into equal halves
growth and decline-and these into
infancy, youth, virility and age. In
fancy extends to the twentieth year,
youth to the fiftieth, because it is in this
period the tissues become firm, virility
from fifty to seventy-fve, during which
he organism remains complete, and at
ev enty five old age commences, to last
a longer or shorter time, as the diminu-
sion of reserved forces is hastened or re
tarded.

Going to a Fire.

One of the most exciting sights a
stranger can witness in the lower part
of New York is the fire department re-
spending to an alarm of fire in the day.
time. A representative of the FSrenlGss'S s
journal describes scene familiar to all
our citizens, but one that many OF our
readers have probably never witnessed.
We CHANGED to be in Broadway day
or two since, says the writer, when the
street was crowded with vehicles OF all
kinds. and the sidewalks with a regu-
lar procession of pedestrians. Suddenly
the gong of an approaching steamer
sounded with its sharp, sudden and
continuous Jingle; there was rush Of
teams to clear the center Of the street,
and rush Of policemen to aid the
drivers in getting their vehicles against
the curb: then came a fireman running
for dear life, shouting "ciear the road, y
and right behind him came the steamer.
the horses on the gallop, and cloud OF
smoke issuing from the smoke stack a
moment, and she was gone. Then came
a hook and ladder truck, with sounding
gong, horses on the jump, and the mem
bers of the company clinging to their
precarious perches on top. Next came
the salvage corps, gong sounding, horses
running, and the men urging them as II
their lives depended on their speed. 1t
was an exciting event, lasting but a
moment, but quickening to the pulse OF
the LATEST on-looker. Thousands OF
persons had stopped to catch glimpse
of the passing fremen, and for over q
mile Broadway was iammed with vehi-
cles and pedestrians, all OF whom had
turned out to make room for the ire
men, on whose speed might depend the
property and lives of some of our citi-
zens. To "a stranger the sight must have
been a thrilling one. and impressed him
with the efficiency of our fire depart
ment. We know that to our soldiers
the heavy rumble of the apparatus
seemed like the movement of artillery to
the front and to presage an impending
battle. And so it was battle-a fight
between the trained firemen and an
enemy as old as the earth or the
heavens, and one that has scourged
mankind since time was.

We confess small faults in order to in

Men do nothing excellent but by ini-

Few are they who have been spared

Love Sweet misery.
Conscience is the most enlightened of

our Ladies Wallxing-sticks.

Waking sticks for ladies, so we are
told by an orGe of fashion, are coming
into favor again. Thus does the whirli-
gig of time bring round his revenge for
discarded clston. The Empress Eu-
genie made the carrying of canes fash
ionable for her sex during the gay days
of the second empire But back in
another century we find the women as
appreeiative of the walking-stick as
ever was
&C Sir Plume of amber snuf-box Justly vain,
And the nice conduct OF clouded cane"
Ladies advanced in life walked with q
taper and slender in substance, turned
over at the upper end in the manner Of
q shepherds crook, and twisted
throughout the whole extent" Some
times these wands were formed of q
pale-green glass, but oftener of wood,
ivory, or whalebone. A writer of 1862,
speaking of the most fashionable sticks
Of this period, says: Do not some Of
us strut about with walking sticks as
long as hickory poles, or else with q
yard Of vanished cane scraped taper,
and bound at one end with waxed
thread, and the other tipped with neat
ivory head as big as silver penny ~
1t is, indeed, as an appurtenance OF
fashion more than as an appendage OF
personal utility that we regard the
walking-sticks of modern times, though
in all ages man has made the sons of the
forest contribute to his support under
WEAKNESS and old age--LOfld0n Globe.

Words nf Wisdom.

Happiness is like sunbeam which the
least shadow intercepts, while adversely
is as often as the rain of spring.
Let him who regrets the loss Of time
make proper use of that which is to
come in the future.
To change and to be better are two
different things.
Allmen look to happiness in the fu-
ture. To every eye heaven and earth
seem to embrace in the distance.
Modern education too often covers the
fingers with rings, and at the same time
cuts the sineWs of the wrists.
The remembrance of q beloved
mother becomes the shadow OF all our
actions. 1t either goes before or fol-
lows.
Our own hands are heavens favorite
| instruments for supplying Us with the
necessaries and Injuries of life.
Talk Of fame and romance--all ths
glory and adventure n. the world ars

FOR THE FAIR SEX.

The Cup OF Tea.
First you take and warm the teapot,
Let the water boiling be,
That's most important secret,
And see you DO not spare the tea.
Put it on the hob to draw it
For some minutes-two or three
Then I'LL up and shake and pour it,
And bless the man who found out tea.
Lovely woman is the sugar,
Spoons the poor man seems to be,
Matrimony is hot water,
Love is like a cup OF tea.

There is for adversely but one

Fate gives us parents; choice gives us

MY Little Woman.


A homely cottage, quaint and old,
Its thatch grown thick with green and golt
And wind-sown grasses;
Unchanged it stands in sun and rain,
And seldom through the quiet lane
A tootstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dwelt,
And saw the shroud of winter melt
From meads and fallows;
And heard the yellow-hammer sing
A tiny welcome to the spring
From budding salows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with a tender wild-rose dye
Above the larches;
And watched the crimson sunset burn
Behind the summer plumes of fern
In woodland arches.
My little woman gone away
TO that far land which knows, they say,
No more sun-setting
wonder il her gentle soul,
Securely resting at the goal,
Has learnt torgettingl
My heart wakes up and cries In vain,
She gave me love, gave her pain
While she was living;
l know not when her spirit fed,
But those who stood beside her said
She died forg;ving.
Ny dove has found better rest,
And yet love the empty nest
She left neglected;
tread the very path she trod,
And ask-in her new home with God,
Am expected?
IT it were but the Fathers will,
To let me know she loves me still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn TO hope, and could say,
Perchance she whispers, day by day,
/" He comes tomorrow"
linger in the silent lane,
And high above the clover plain
The clouds are riven;
Across the fields she used to know
The light breaks, and the wind sighs low,
"Loved and forgiven"
