Having q Competency.

/ have a neighbor who is always so
busy that he has no time to laugh; the
whole business of his life is to get
money, more money that he may still
get more. He as still drudging, saying
that Solomon says "The diligent hand
maketh rich" And it is true, indeed,
but he considers not that it is in the
power of riches to make man happy,
for it was wisely said by man of great
observation "That there be as many
nIiseries beyond riches as on this side of
them" And yet, Heaven deliver us
from pinching poverty and grant that,
having a competency, We may be con-
tent and thankful.
Let us not repine, or so much as think
the gifts of God unequally dealt, If we
see another abound in riches when, as
God knows, the cares that are the keys
that keep those riches hang often SO
heavily at the rich mans girdle that they
clog him with weary days and restless
nights, even where others sleep quietly.
We see but the outside of the rich mans
happiness few consider him TO be like
the silk worm, that, when she seems to
play, is at the same time spinning her
own bowels and consuming herself. And
this many rich men do, loading them
selves with corroding cares to keep what
they have already got. Let us, there
fore, be thankful for health and compe-
tence, and, above all, for quiet con-
science.-Izdak Walton.

Marrying the Dead.

An extraordinary marriage ceremony
took place at Portsmouth, England, not
a great while ago. A Miss Mainwaring,
the daughter of IN army officer, was
about to be married, and her trousseau
had been prepared and all other arrange
ments made; but few days before the
time fixed for the wedding she sickened
and died. Nevertheless, it was deter
mined to go through the marriage cere-
mony as far as possible before the inter-
ment. Her body was, therefore, taken
in the coffin to church, followed by her
friends in wedding costume, the de-
ceased's wreath of orange blossoms be-
ing placed mt the head of the coffin.
Several clergymen oiiiciated, and, after
reading the marriage service. that for
funerals was proceeded with, after
which the cortege proceeded to Ports
mouth Cemetery, where the interment
took place.

Tup bus;paes of selling litbooranbe

THE business of selling autographed
sermons for lazy ministers was formerly
confined to England and Scotland. Now,
however, the New York Sun discovers
that there is a house in Chicago
engaged in supplying this very peculiar
class of literature For half dollar a
clergyman who is too indolent or too
ignorant to prepare an original sermon
can procure a very respectable-looking
one, which, if placed on his pulpit and
read to his congregation will lead them
to believe it is his own composition and
penmanship. This is bonanza to a
certain class of preachers, and will re-
lieve them of much of the drudgery
which makes pastoral labor irksome,
and causes early decay among the minis.
try. Certain clergymen who have ac-
quired reputation for brilliancy have
done so by picking up the published
sermons of eminent ministers. This is
attended with great risk, and is almost
sure to be followed by exposure, whep
somebody who has happened to read
such sermons in print discovers what
the brilliant clergymen have been doing.
The business of supplying sermon man
uscripts in Autograph is a speciality 10y
itself. The houses which do it do not
Autograph the sermons of famous di.
vines, but keep in their employ several
clergymen who write sermons to order
for the purpose. The English concerns
keep large and well assorted variety of
sermons on band, as they have to meet
all manner of requirements, both as to
subjects and the way of treating them.
The apology of those who furnish these
sermons is that the people who hear
them preached will have the advantage
of listening to far better sermons than if
the preachers who use them had deliv-
cred discourses of their own manufac-

[Clara Francis.l

IT is not now the custom, as it used to
be, to wait until every one is helped;
haste or Impotence are out OF place, but
it is proper to eat whenever the food is
placed before one. One is not expected
to ask twice for soup, fish, or salad, and
is seldom helped a second time to des-
sert.
Preference for white or dark meat,
rare or well done, should be expressed
without hesitation, and all food accepted
or declined promptly, and in courteous
terms. Well-bred people never handle
the glass, silver or china unnecessarily,
or the food; they never make bread-pills
or drink or speak with food IN their
mouths, or leave the table while eating,
or complain of the dinner.
When the child is strong enough to
manage fork, give him one instead of
spoon, and when the dignity of knife
is arrived at, teach him to use it, and
also, when done with the knife and
fork, to lay them in close parallel across
the plate, the handles to the right.
Teach him to use spoon properly, to
lay it in his saucer while he drinks his
tea noiselessly (holding the cup by the
handle) to leave it in the saucer if the
cup is to be reflled, and to place it In
the empty cup when done.
Young people should not be allowed
to flourish their bread in the air while
spreading it with butter, it is to be laid
on the plate; neither should they sop up
gravy or soup with bits of bread, or
scrape their plates clean or tilt their
soup plates in order to drain them dry,
<oI h. hanAc hal
fingers. The mouth should be carefully
wiped before drinking, and the glass or
goblet lifted without putting the fingers
over the brim.
Table manners forbid all unnecessary
Gathering of knives and forks. Salt Is
taken on the knife, which is tapped on
the forefnger of the left hand instead OF
on the fork. The hand is the proper
medium for removing grape skins and
fruit pits from the mouth to the plate,
and the napkin should hide all use OF the
toothpick.
Vegetables are generally eaten with a
fork or spoon. Asparagus may be taken
in the fingers; water-cresses, celery,
radishes and olives are always so eaten.
Cheese is generally taken with fork.
Economical housewives cover the
table with square of baize, canton fan
mel. or cloth of some kind, over which
the linen one is spread; this improves
the appearance very much, keeps the
cloth from wearing at the edge of the
table, and prevents noise.
However, one may economic In house
hold labor, good taste and much pains
taking should govern the appointments
of the table and dining-room. An at
tractive table is good appetizer and
has something to do with good behavior.
Human nature is easily affected by the
atmosphere with which it is surrounded;
children cannot be expected to behave
well in an hour given over to disorder,
frctfulness and furry. Table manners
for the housekeeper begin in seeing that
her table is neat and attractive, and cal
culated to inspire cheerfulness; from it
she should Danish as far as possible all
vexations. cares and worries.

What Becomes OF Dead Birds?

How strange it is that, considering the
millions of birds born every year, dead
ones are so seldom seen. To each little
songster in turn comes the tradegy-
sickness, decay and death-yet, even in
the woods, it is rare to find a dead bird.
Who buries them One can find it in
one'sN heart to believe in the pathetic
robbins of olden story, and turn up the
leaves to see if, perchance, some stray
feather may not betray the hidden
mausoleum. 1t is odious to think that
they have become the prey of others of
their species, or of enemies prowling in
wait for their hour of weakness. But
nature manages her affairs so well that
doubtless the obsequies are conducted
with order and regularity, and if we had
but eyes to see them we should find
relics of our songsters doing their part
to fertilize and enrich the scene of their
brief existence.
