A STRANGE TRIBE OF INDIANS,

Looking on the map of New Mexico, on the
eastern confines of Arizona in latitude "a and
longitude 100, you will see the country of the
Zunies. These Indians are white as any other
people, have light faxen hair, and the Indian
ladies might even be considered blonde beauties
Some of them have red eyes-albinos The
women have regular, pretty features; are very
modest, gentle moral, and truthful-as also are
the men, They are intelligent, cultivate their
corn and cereals, and always have on hand
stored and q stock for several years ahead-a
sufficient supply for their community. They are
not a warlike race. After the Navahoes, their
more warlike neighbOrs, conquered them or per-
haps before, they built their village or town in
the form of a hollow square, as quasi-fOrtress.
Into this hollow square they lead their focks
and herds at night, shut the gate, climb up by
ladders to the roof Of their adobe houses haul up
the ladders and go to sleep in confident security.
The entrance to their dwellings is only by the
rOof-like the Indians of Taos and other places
in New Mexico-as a means of safety Their
worship is mixture of idolatry and catholicism,
so far as could be ascertained. They worship a
very ancient picture of the TRANSPORTATION, the
origin of which they know not and have no ira
dition. Unlike the Navahoes or Navaioes, their
neighbors, they are peaceful simple race, but
are dwindling away, and soon will become ex-
tinct, especially as they intermarry-other mar
riages being strictly prohibited Port Chester

"I did"
"Now, let me see," said O'Connell, as he took
up the hat, and began to examine it carefully in
the inside. He then spelled out the name of
James slowly, in this manner:
"J-a-m-e-s. Now, do you mean to say that
this word was in the hat when you found it?"

DON'T WASH.

A LITTLE girl had been playing in the street
until she had become pretty well covered with
dust. In trying to wash it off, she didn't use
water enough to prevent the dust rolling up in
little balls. In her trouble she applied to her
brother, little older than herself, for solution
of the mystery. 1t was explained at once,-to
his satisfaction, at least. why, sis, you're made
of dust and if you don't stop, you'll wash your
self all away!" This opinion, coming from an
elder brother was decisive, and the washing was
discontinued.

4 TRYING DAY.
BY ALEXINA FIDGET.

There are days of bitter anguish.
Dark with tempest and with tears,
Dies ira," fierce and fiery,
That brand all coming years;
Days whose more than martyr triumph,
Well may wake the poets lay;
But what pen has told the story
OF "prosy trying day."
When the air is raw and chilly,
And the sky is over cast,
And the golden, gladstone sunshine
Seems memory of the past.
When your breakfast is afailure,
And your cook is in the dumps"
And your next door neighbor warns You
All her children have the "mumps.''
When your good man rises moody
About something in his shares"
And the baby opens business
BY tumble down the stairs.
When the milk is sure to sour,
And the china sure to break,
And your nurse to lose cousin"
And "av coorse go see him wake -
When your Johnny tears his Jacket
Where no hand can hide the rent;
And you miss your umbrella,
And remember it is lent.
When your new improved Domestlc"
Gets the dickens in its stitch,
And you work your nerves about 1t
To very concert pitch.
When your rooms are all confusion,
And your hair is out of crimp.
And the baby yelling madly
Like a very little imp;
And yo' : husbands dearest mother,
In her kind maternal way,
Drops in, just to see the children,
And TO spend quiet day"
We have Faith to guide us upward
Through this darksome vale of tears;
We have Hope to cheer and help us
Through life's sorrows and life's fears;
We have Love that wins the battle
Against danger, death, despair;
But there do come days when woman
Wants to be a man, and-swear,

OUR NUMERATION.

In our twenties--and the blossoms
Drifted by In fragrant snow;
Skies were blue, and we together
Chose the path that we should go,
Violets bloomed and grasses nodded,
Springing by our lingering feet;
And we laughed and kissed each other,
Singing, gaily, Life is sweetP
In our thirties-criuson berries
Blushed meath emerald banners bright;
Royal orchids veiled their purple
From the careless seekers sight;
Solemn forest shades around us
Both our voices strangely stilled;
But we closer drew together
Hands with sylvan treasures filled.
In our sixties--open meadows M
Now beguile our wandering feet:
Memory's orchids, forests, blossoms,
Field and skies are ever sweet.
But we best love aster's sapphires ss
And lobelia's spikes of flame;
While our hearts, like autumn's naples,
Burn and glow, for each. the same.
In our eighties-we have cheated
Frost and fled before the snow;
In q southern cline we're waiting
Till our King shall bid us go.
Resting here, beneath the palm trees,
By the sweet-breathed myrtles famed

A New York paper says: Household
expenses have increased here greatly
during the last ten to fifteen years,
mainly from increase of luxury rath-

kind OF houses they had then. These

reduced rates and are rented with
difficulty. They have not the inn

We are now IN the artistic and deco
rative period, and art and decoration
are very dear. Men and women, par
ticularly women, wear more and
finer clothes than formerly; have
more desires and pleasures to crafty
more expensive tastes to consult,
Householders were wont to estimate
their rent as nearly one-third oftheir
annual disbursements. Now it is
barely one.fifth or one sixth thereof.

COUNT THEM.--Count what? Why,
count the mercies which have been
quietly falling in your path through
every period of your history. Down
they come every morning and even

Father of lights, to tell you of your
best Friend in Heaven. Have you
lived these years wasting mercies,
treading them beneath your feet, and
consuming them every day, and
never realized from whence they
came? If you have, Heaven pity

your Affections but who has heard
you rejoice over your blessings? Do
you ask what are these mercies ?
Ask the sunbeam, the rain. drops, the
