One Of its strongest const tutionaI argu-
ments had been written a long time be-
fore, as professional opinion. No oc-
casion had called for its public utterance
until Mr.. Hayne made one. Then the
great orator had but to marshal forces
already equipped, and hurl them at the
assailant Of his state.
A lady visiting the studio Of Mr..
Hunt, the artist, and seeing IN elabor-
ate charcoal picture, asked how
long it took him to draw it.
'sWell, answered Mr.. Hunt, 81 think
it took me an hour or two !; that's, I was
about that time putting it on the paper
there. But I suppose I ought to say
that it took me forty years, as I've been
drawing about that length of time.''
An unenlightened public may believe
in extempo efforts but the en-
lightened know that the labor of years
is required to make one superior effort.
The lesson is plain one improve every
moment by work, for the hour is not
forseen when you may be called to
do the great duty Of your life. Youths

Trees anu Moisture

A report sent Us by an undoubted au-
tiorlty on the subject Of American for
estry proves That since 1875 years the
necessary moisture Of the soil In North
America has decreased per cent. every
quarter century In consequence Of the
Wanton destruction OF woodlands, and
that d further continuance OF these must
most seriously affect the climate Of the
Of health as well as the fertility of the
soil. That the picture is not overdrawn
we can easily prove from the decline OF
horticultural products. From many
States III which but comparatively few
years since peaches were grown on free
land this luscious fruit has entirely dis
appeared. and many other garden prod
ucts with it. According to the 6 Report
upon Forestry" Southern Indiana, until
shortly, had a regular peach crop, while
now it is the rule for such crops to fail !;
almost the same is the case with regard
to the far more hardy apples and other
fruits. Light frosts in May and June
are no longer rarity the wheat mar
ke5 was in many places entirely killed
by frost IN others from 90 to 40 per
cent. was lost. In many States IN which,
at the commencement Of the present
century. spring used to happen IN Feb
rllary II Is now delayed until the end Of
April, and the growing Of wheat has be-
come altogether predetermined An Of
fetal report from Illinois {July, 1879,

A BACHELORS SIGNS.


A life nisspent, an incompleted mission,
A house all void Of merry laugh
Pertain unto that fractional condition
OF man without q better half.
No one to cheer him in this worlds unrest,
And soothe debt bemuddled brain;
No love with fertile fancy to suggest
Some way % "raise the wind" again.
No one to laugh with him when all is bright,
Nor weep when joys seem over gone
Alas! no fingers, deft and white,
To sew missing button on.
No pure-white brow, no love-lit eyes Of blue,
No tresses moved by summer breeze;
All me no dewy lips Of rosy hue,
No lingering, soft, white hand to squeeze.
No sympathetic hope Of morn Of life,
Nor memory when heis old
So sad the thought! no meek and gentle wife
TO sneer at when the coffee's cold.
And duties over, when the long day dies,
No need of gentle wifely tones,
No one to ask with glad, expecting eyes,
"Dear, did you get the best of Jones7"
OF earthly joys and pleasures he is bare,
He has no hope of heaven withal;
No school for Christian resignation where
He never hears baby squai.

Fast Horses.

The standard trotter is one that can
cover milo in $50. It is said that less
than 900 of all the horses raised and
trained in the United States have this
record. The number that can trot In
$50 bear the ratio OF one to 1888 horses
raised. As business the breeding Of
fast horses is therefore very much of a
ottery; and when we recall the fact that
the high prices which famous colts have
brought have rarely been received by
the men who raised them, the prizes ii
breeding and training trotters are few
and uncertain. Scientific Americ1n.
