A Valuable Secret.

It is related of Franklin that from
the window of his office in Philadelphia
he noticed mechanic, among a number
of others, at work ON house which was
being erected close by, who always ap-
peared to be in merry humor, and who
had kind and cheerful smile for
every one he met. Let the day be
ever SO cold, gloomy OF sunless, the
happy smile danced like sunbeam on
his cheerful countenance. Meeting him
one day Franklin requested to know
the secret of his constant happy flow Of
spirits.
SITS no secret, doctor, the man re-
piled. GIVE got one. of the best wives,
and when [ go to work she always
gives me a kind word of encourage
ment and blessing with her parting
kiss; and when [ go home she is sure
to meet me with smile and kiss of
welcome; and then tea is sure to be
ready; and as we chat in the evening, I
find she has been doing so many little
things through the day to please me,
that I cannot find it in my heart to speak
an unkind word or give an unkind look
to anybody"
And Franklin adds: A
"What an influence, then, hath
woman over the heart of man, to soften
it, and make it the fountain of cheerful
and pure emotions. Speak gently, then.
A happy smile and kind word of
greeting after the tolls of the day are
over cost nothing, and go far toward
making home happy and peaceful.

The Russian Peasants Lot,

That the Russian peasantry are not
wholly unreasonable in their present
wish for agrarian reform, one example
out of many will suffice to show. A
peasant in one of the eastern provinces,
whose crops had failed, having with
difficulty maintained his household dur
ing the winter, found himself absolutely
without resources in the spring. After
vainly asking help from his neighbors,
he at length applied to a wealthy money
lender who had more than once profted
by his distress. and offered to work for
him during the whole summer as q COM
mon laborer. The other offered sum
so far below even the meagre market
rate of twenty cents day that the peas
ant saw at once that it would barely
suffice to keep his wife and children
from starvation, leaving absolutely moth
ing for himself Have pity upon me,
your honor" pleaded the peasant; 81
must starve if you won't give me more
than that" "Starve, then, and be
cursed to you," retorted the heartless
ursurer; ''it's no affair of mine. Driven
to desperation, the poor fellow sat down
on his hard-hearted employers door and
cut his own throat.

Baby Monkeys.
From Chambers Journal

From Chambers Journal ADD ..,.
Monkeys are born in almost as helpless
a condition as are human beings. For
the first fortnight after birth they pass
their time III being nursed, in sleeping,
and looking about them. During the
whole of this time the care and attention
of the mother are most exemplary; the
slightest sound or movement excites her
immediate notice; and, with her baby in
her arms, skilIfully evades any APP
preaching danger by the most adroit
maneuvres At the end of the first fort
night the little one begins to get about,
by itself, but always under its mothers
watchful care. She frequently at
tempts to teach it to do for it's
self; but never forgets her solicitude
for its safety, and at the earliest in
timation of danger seizes it in her arms
and seeks place of refuge. When about
six weeks old the baby begins to need
more substantial nutriment than milk,
and is taught to provide for himself. It's
powers are speedily developed, and in
few weeks it's agility is most surprising.
The mothers fondness for her offspring
continues; she devotes all her care to its
comfort and education, and should it
meet with an 1lntimely end, her grief is
so intense as frequently to cause her own
death. 'sThe care which the females
bestow upon their offspring" says Du-
vancil, I" is so tender, and even refined,
that one would be almost tempted to at
tribute the sentiment to rational rather
than an instructive process. It is a Curl
GUS and interesting spectacle, which a
little precaution has sometimes enabled
me to witness, to see these females carry
their young to the river, wash their faces
In spite of their childish outcries,
and altogether bestow upon their clean
liness time and attention that in many
cases the children of our own species
might well envy. The Malays, indeed,
related fact to me, which first doubt
ed, but which [ believe to be in a great
measure confirmed by my own observa-
tions; it is, that the young g siamangs"
while yet too weak to go alone, are al
ways carried by individuals of Their own
sex: by their fathers if males, by their
mother if females" M. D'Osbonville
states that the parents exercise their pa
rental authority over their children in a
sort of judicial and strictly impartial
form. 'The young ones were seen to
gambol with one another in the presence
of their mother, who sat ready to give
Judgment and punish misdemeanors.
When any one was found guilty of foul
play or malicious conduct toward an
other of the family, the parent inter
fered by Selling the young criminal by
the tail, which she held fast with one Of
her paws till she boxed his ears with the
other !"

The Pigs of MandaIay.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing about the Burmese capt.
tai, says:
The pigs are the scavengers of the
city. They eat up all the filth and
garbage and have funds left for their
support by pious individuals, whose last
wish on earth is to see such useful ami
mails put beyond the reach of starvation.
Ii it were not for the swine, Mandalay
would be reeking hot-bed of pestilence.
AS matters are, the gaunt animals occa-
sionally find their efforts to consume the
garbage of the place overtaxed, even
when conioined with the efforts of their
CONDUCTORS, the vultures, kites and
pariahs, and the result is that, when the
rains fall, the animal matter and vegeta-
ton are left rotting in the sun, Mandalay
is stricken with cholera, and thousands
of human beings are carried off daily an
til the scourge subsidies with the reap
pearance of dry and disinfecting wealth
er. In Mandalay it may not be sin, as
DR.. Watts affrms it is, to kill fly, bnt
it is certainly crime of no ordinary
magnitude to kill pig.

game of haggling and went off in high
dudgeon. Honein resolved on revenge
and hurrying forward on the road where
he knew the Arab would have to pass.
he threw dowp one of the shoes.
Presently the Arab came up, and seeing
the shoe, said to himself. ssHow like
this is to one of Honein's shoes. IF the
other were but with it [ would take
them" Honein had in the meanwhile
gone on further still and thrown down
the other shoe, hiding himself close by
to watch the fun. When the desert
Arab came to the second shoe he re-
GREETED having left the first, but, tying
up his camel, went back to fetch it..
Honein at once mounted and rode off
home, well satisfied with the exchange of
a camel for pair of shoes. When the
Arab returned on foot to his tribe, and
they asked what he had brought back
from his journey, he replied: 81 have
brought nothing back but Honein' s
shoes And the saying became proven
bial for bootless errand.

A BLACKSMITH'S LOVING.

bad resolved, with many persons no
doubt who had shaken off its yellow
dust, never to visit the dismal little
town of Bloomsbury again. It was so
called, perhaps, because of its utter lack
In vegetation, and because of its being a
Sahara ofred clay roads and sandy plains,
over which sickly shrubs and vines strove
and knotted together. [ had left 1t in
July, with dull, hot sun cracking and
scanning the dry marsh leading to the
town, and felt as if spared the commits
sion of a crime by the sudden telegram
which recalled me to the city. Whipped
my horse into mad gallop, and looked
neither to the right nor left, animated by
vague wonder as to how any one ex-
listed there.
Again it was July, and by singular
chain of circumstances I found myself
ambling leisurely on horseback down
the dusty high street of Bloomsbury.
The same red sun was bistering the
paint on the little new post office, and
the same brawny blacksmith wiped the
sweat from his brow before his forge,
and stopped work to stare at me in a
vacant way.
had passed some idle hours in his
shop before, and after stolid scrutiny
he recognized me.
'Back again, squire ?" he asked, Civ
ing me familiar nod. 1T be matter
of three years now since shod your gray
mare in the off hind foot.
He was evidently proud of this piece
of memory.
Gully that" [ said, again wondering
how he had endured all these days and
nights in this God-forsaken spot. He
raised his muscular arm, and with a
blackened finger pointed to the tiny
gables of house near by.

though his mother is inclined to the
trade Of shoe strings, tapes and the like.

I had never deemed it a possibility
that there could be marrying or giving
In marriage here. In this respect Blooms
bury resembled heaven in my sacreligious
mind. Perhaps the cold, old story of
love had made it paradise to the young
blacksmith.
I gave my horse brief rest and a
drink from the good fellows trough, as
[ inquired the current news of the town,
though, the Lord knows, nothing could
be further from my thoughts than to
care what news there was. [ had seen
but once, for a moment, face which
even family interested me in that horri-
bic place, and try as hard as / would, [
could never drive away this vision.
[ had stroIled into the little yellow
church one sultry day to escape the
thunderstorm which was rapidly coming
up from the west, and stepped into the
porch just as the first heavy drops pat
tered on the roof, and on the bleached
grass about the tumbled-down head
stones in the yard.

Schurz, SigeI and a Barber.


Probably you have never been shaved
by Mr.. Schelpert, the barber in front OF
the National hotel.
was astonished when first sat in his
chair, by his not asking me if L didn't
want my hair cut When he failed to
insist upon my being shampooed mar
veled even more, and when he shaved me
without saying word felt that he was
a man with history. And here it is:
He was educated in the best of German
colleges, and when a mere lad entered
the Prussian army. He and Carl Schurz
and Sigel were ieutenants in the same
regiment, and were co-revolutionists.
The regiment to which they belonged
joined the insurrectionists in 1848, and
in the last battle OF the campaign Schel-
pert was wounded, captured and SEN
fenced to death. Schurz, Sigel and most
of the other rebels escaped. Just before
his execution day arrived, Schelpert
made his escape from prison and came to
America. In New York he met one of
his compatriots who had married young
girl with whom each had been at school.
This couple was going south and Schel-
pert accompanied them. They stopped
at Madison, Ga. The young revolution
ist was without means, and casting about
for some honest means of livelihood dis
covered that there was no barber in the
village He thereupon bought a razor.
and opening shop soon shaved his first
man. He found his new profession a
profitable one, giving him quiet life
and plenty of leisure for pursuing ento-
theological studies, which were his passion.
His friend dying, he married his widow
and lived the life of just and peaceful
man until the late war opened. He then
raised a company, and marched at the
head of the first Confederate flag carried
out of Madison, joining the third Georgia
regiment. He served with this for some
time, and then joined the ty-sixth, of
which he became colonel. At the close
of the war he determined to quit fight
ing, as he had tried two revolutions and
had been whipped in both.
He is man of thorough culture, a
scholar of fine pretentions, and the most
devoted entomologist. The walls of his
shop are covered with cases of butter
flies, bugs and insects of all kinds-ar-
ranged exquisitely. For one of these
cases he was offered SO, 500, and his entire
collection is worth over 6,000 He has
few intimates, but those who know him
best esteem him most-and enjoy nothing
more than an hour with him talking over
the adventures of two wars.
