POETRY OF TILE TIRLE.

More appetizing than all tonics is q
perfectly arranged table, sparkling with
cleanliness. So let us be little extrav-
agant in our fresh tablecloths, when
soap, water, and IL little labor are all we
have to pay. And now we must decide,
shall we have the best China, and do
with some stoneware for every day9 Or
shall We pay ourselves the respect usu.
ally reserved for company? Clearly, We
are the persons to whom it is OF the
most Importance. Shall we sit down to
odd plates and cracked saucers six days
that We may enjoy gilded china the
seventh? BY no means. We will have
plain white French china, which can
always he matched when broken, and
We will sit down to it every day. In the
same way We will bring out the plated
knives and silver forks, and partake OF
our food with n sense of orr own deserts.
We shall feel increased respect for our
selves, also, with napkins and butter
plates so those we will have.

Il SOEGg:Y-FOH TRENT.

A great fortune is II great t,rant !;
it drives and spares not. Many rich
man looks back on the time when he
was poor, and signs to remember how
free his mind then WAS from care, how
much he enjoyed the simplest pleasures.
But he would not exchange his present
for his past any quicker than he would
exchange freedom for slavery, health
for disease, honor for infamy. He may
confess that his vast property, toiled
and suffered for through years, worries
and hartlens him but he would not sur
render any portion Of 1t more willingly
than he would surrender the use of his
right arm. 1t is the malcdiction of
superintendent riches that, while they
harry their owner, and may destroy his
mental peace, he clings to them ms tcna-
ciously as to life, and is bitterly tor
mented 10y the smallest fraction of their
decrease. The ordinary rich man does
not enjoy what he has SO much as he
suffers from what he fails to get. We
have all heard of the New York Crnsus
who declined to contribute to most
worthy charity. The man who had
asked for his subscription expressed his
surprise. ~ should he glad to do it, I"
was his excuse, "but really cannot af-
ford it. Why, at this moment I have
more than $500, 900 in bank, and I'm not
getting n cent Of interest on it."-NeW
York Times.

BALLOON PHOTOGRAPHY.

Some interesting experiments in bal
loon photography were made by NJ. de
Fonvielle in the neighborhood of Rouen
recently. Two views of the surround
ing country were taken from II height OF
about $500 feet, while the balloon was
travelling nj the rate of from twenty to
twenty-five feet per second. The
Photographic apparatus was affixed to
the rim Of the car on the side opposite
to the direction in which the balloon was
travelling. Miniature views were OBJ
tanned of territorial sections about twen-
ty-three acres square, upon which road
ways, house-roofs, garden walls, hedges,
are plainly discernible. Had the sky
been perfectly clear, every human figure
within the scope Of the lens would have
been distinctly visible, and he points
out the obvious availability of balloon
photography for uses Of war.

A GOOD story comes from Madison,
Wis. A young man of that city who,
through snobbcry or laziness, will never
carry package through the street, made
a purchase of six collars and II necktie,
and, rs usual, ordered them to be de-
livered ut his residence. Soon after
ward a two-horse freight wagon was
backed up to the door, and the package
laboriously placed on the steps by the
driver and an assistant, who inquired
whether it should he left in the hall or
carried up stairs. AS the young mans
sweetheart was witness of the scene it
is likely that he appreciated the full
force of the joke.

Do not make Il pretensc of gcntiliiy,
