The objection to horses with white

Precious Dirt.

Great care is taken in the shops of
jewellers and others where articles are
manufactured of gold to prevent the
waste of the precious metal. Every
scrap of fling, scraping or grinding is
preserved for the assayer. The buff
wheels on which gold or silver are pol
ished, when they are worn out, are
burned, and the fire soon develops fine
particles of the precious metals that
cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Even the sweepings of the shops are
kept, and are worth about $40 barrel
after the most scrupulous care has been
taken to prevent stray pieces getting in
to it. 1t is said that the Scotch assayers
are most successful. Sometimes assay
ers will buy the sweepings of shop at
a given price per barrel, taking the risk
of what they will yield.
Whenever a shop floor is to be taken
up and renewed, it is always calculated
that the dirt accumulated in the crevices
will more than pay the cost of the new
floor. Jewellers say that the value of
the shop dirt is owing to the dust of
metals that is blown about the place,
and not from any earelessness of work
men. Even after the assayers have got
through the loss on jewelers. stock is
generally about two per cent. This in
cludes whatever may be taken, if any
thing, by dishonest workmen.-Nes0

Equality VS.. Quantity.


When DIR. Robert Finley took into
his home at Basking Ridge four lads. as
pupils in private school, it was appa-
rently an insignificant undertaking. For
man of his consummate intellectual
and moral power to be spending his
time in teaching four boys provoked his
friends to interpose remonstrance. His
answer was sublime.
cit will prove no waste of time or
strength if these boys shall make the
sort of men that, by Gods grace, mean
they shall"
So he plodded on, laboriously laying
the foundations not of culture only, but
of character. Like Arnold at Rugby
and Mary Lyon at South Hadley, he
taught, first of all, that conscience and
the Bible must find in the heart aud
life shrine and throne. He gave
these boys thorough moral training,
as well as q thorough intellectual dis
cipline.
Who did those four boys afterward
become? They were Chancellor Green,
Governor Vroom, Judge Dayton and
Samuel L. Southland.

Between the Tides.

A fawless day was the twenty-third of
April in the year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and seventy. nine. The regu-
lation morning breezes had been lured
into the poppy fields of Angel island
and put to sleep by the narcotic kisses
of Circe. And even the zephyrs-gentle
pages to the erst-while brawlers-ha
been shut up in the weather clerks
signal-box nntil o'clock in the after
noon. Then the yachts came out and
the zephyrs were released. 1t was not
very good weather for sailing that the
zephyrs made, though they blew till
theirrosy cheeks were like soap bubbles,
and the white sails were filed with
scented breath, The numbering schoon-
ers staggered in zigzag pathways, as if
they meant to slice away the island
noses with their dull prows; and, in
deed, the yachts sailed scarcely any
faster, only the little plungers made un-
checked headway, running at their own
sweet will, it seemed. The north har-
Dor was dotted with sails. Every
body and eyerybody's wife and children
and friends were out. So there was
nothing strange about the mere pres
enceof ayoung man and a young woman
in a small rowboat amid the scenes of
lazy commerce and busy gayety. Ger
tainly it was not strange, for there were
ahundred other people out that after
noon in rowboats, to say nothing of the
professional boatmen, the men with
sculls and the rowing clubs. If the
people on the yachts which they met
noticad tham thev dOubtlaselV viewed
them with pity mingled with contempt,

II MAY Not Be.

1t may not be our lot to WELD
The sickle in the ripened field;
Nor ours TO bear on summer ewes
The reaper's song among the sheaycs.
Yet where our duty's task is wrought
In unison with Gods great thought,
The near and future blend in one,
And whatso'er is willed is done.
And ours the grateful service whence
Comes day by day the recompense;
The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed,
The fountain and the MONDAY shade.

Where he played with cards an swallowed the

Sunk him down till he wallered like gruntin

An Charlie cum to the home hs hadn't seen

As he gazed on his poor old mother locked fast

The tears cum forth in torrents as he stopped

An the sobs o. mis'ry choked him till he could

FiOm The Probl2m Of American nd-Holding'
by Hon George B. Loring, Of Massachusetts,.
IL is 10 the division and sub division
of the land, almost as much as to their
devotion To the institutions OF learning
and religion, and their determination TO
secure all sOrisl and civil rights, that
our fathers owe their success IN estab'
fishing free government on this conti-
neut. They had the Arglo-Saxon love
of land, but. above all tins, they had the
Anglo-Saxon's love OF individual indie
pendence; and landed monopOlies, en-
tail and primOgenituTe were especially
odious TO them. They established, in
the earliest colonial days, a system OF
land-kolding, SO simple, so exact, so
easily managed, that 1t has become the
example which all republican govern
mcnts follow. They established pub
lie registry OF deeds, and provided for
an easy aud recorded transfer OF landed
estates from hand 10 haGd-as easy as
the transfer OF personal property. The
Stats which they founded became not
only the home OF civil and religious
freedom, bnt Of small landed proprie-
tors also. The feudsl tenure OF Eng
land really never gained sfOo,hold here.
But the commercial tenure which took
its place gave every prosperous men,
Der OF the community an opportunity
to establish his own little kingdom, and
to dispose Of or change it at his pleas

Fish Culture.

From Fish Culture, by Seth Green.
While on this analogy it may be sug.
gested that rotation of crops may be as
advantageously introduced in piscicul.
ture as in agriculture. In portion OF
France, where the land is low and can
be overlooked at pleasure by a system
OF dyking, crops Of grain and cells are
alternated, the latter being the most
profitable; but this is only the germ OF
the true principle. When one sort OF
root or grain or vegetable is repeated on
the same land it is found that the soil
is exhausted OF its food, while its enc
mics are augmented in number.

Womsn's Success as Q Hen.

1t is said that there is woman in the
northern part OF the city who matches
hens eggs by keeping them inside the
bosom OF her dress. She has actually
Matched out several chickens in this
novel way, and is said to bring of a
brood OF three or four at time. Or
course, when once started, the eggs
must be kept right there, in that warm
nest, nights as well as days, and one
would think there might be danger OF
getting them broken in her sleep-to
say nothing OF the inconvenience OF car
rying such articles about with her in
the daytime for twenty-one days.
