The Past, the Present and the Future.

A thoughtful writer says that, while
Now lies like line under our feet, there
are two Thens-one past, the other flu
ture. Each Then encompasses a period
as vide as our apprehension of the in
finite The Now, ever shifting, is the
boundary that separates these twin infini
tudes which together make up eternity.
Too narrow to see or measure, it abso-
lutely divides the two great oceans OF
Time, that of the Past from that
of the Future. Now and Then are
forever abiding, yet forever chang
ing. The Then is forever follow
ing out of the future into Now. Then
comes nigh by devouring Now and car
rying it away to the oblivion Of the Past.
Yet still Now lives on, ever instantly
new born, though as constantly dying,
surrendering to and devouring Then and
arising anew from the inflowing tide of
Time but an instant before in the Future.
This is the mystery of Time dying yet
living. passing but present. The Future,
the Present and the Past work our other
Transformations, blending, passing, hv-
ing, dying! N0to sows seed in hope,
looks hopefully for growth in the future
Then, and finds it garnered in the Then
passed. Then future ever carries its
fruits toward Now. Then past hangs
up pictures of JOY or of remorse.

SaBdust is one of the most profitable
products of New York, so reporter of
The World, of that city, has discovered.
A few years ago sawdust was valueless,
and the mills were glad to give it to any
body who would haul it away. A sharp
fellow said that it might be put to many

A telegram from Washington, giving

crop of 1879 so, shows some remarkable
differences from the calculated acre.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american says: LET anyone who has
an attack of lock jaw take small quantity
of turpentine, warm it, and pour it on
the wound, no matter where the wound
is, and relief will follow in less than a
minute. Nothing better can be applied
to severe cut or bruise than cold tur-
pentine; it will give certain relief almost
instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign
remedy for Group. Saturate piece of
flannel with it, and place the flannel on
the throat and chest, and in every case
three or four drops on lump of sugar
may be taken inwardly."

The Vagabond Sage.

An old man of very active physiog-
nomy, was brought to the police court.
His clothes looked as if they might have
been bought secondhand in his youth
full prime; for they had suffered more
from the rubs of the world than the pro-
prietor himself.
"What business ?"
'None; I'm traveller"
ga vagabond, perhaps?"
"You are not far wrong. Travellers
and vagabonds are about the same thing.
The difference is that the latter travels
without money and the former without
brains"
"Where have you traveled?"
"All over the Continent.
'For what purpose %
Conservation.
"What have you observed?"
ga little to commend, much to CEN
sure, and great deal to laugh at"
"Humph What do you commend p
GA handsome woman that will stay at
home, an eloquent preacher that will
preach short sermons, good writer that
will not write too much, and fool that
has sense enough to hold his tongue"
"What do you censure?'
GA man that mar1ies girl for her fine
clothing, youth who studies medicine
while he has the use of his hands, and
the people who will elect drunkard to
office"
''What do you laugh at?''
81 laugh at a man who expects his po-
sition to command that respect which his
personal qualifications and qualities dc
not merit"
| He was dismissed. d.-Erchange

Laughter.

There is not the remotest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood vessels of
the human body that does not feel some
wavelet from the convulsion occasioned
by good hearty laughter The life prin-
ciple, or the central man, is shaken to
the innermost depths, sending new tides
of life and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good health
to the persons who indulge therein.
The blood moves more rapidly and con-
veys different impression to all the
organs of the body, as it visits them on
that particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing, from what it does at
other times. For this reason every good,
hearty laugh in which person indulges
lengthens his life, conveying, as it does,
new and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces. Doubtless the time will come
when physicians, conceding more i'm
portance than they now do to the in
fiuence of the mind upon the vital forces
of the body, will make up their prescrip-
tions more with reference to the mind
and less to drugs for them; and will, in
SO doing, find the best and most effective
method of producing the requirc1 effect
upon the patient.

RnrnainU I'm IllIunla.

In 1879 Illinois produced one-ffth OF all the
corn grown in the United States, and according
to the latest advices the crop Of 1880 will bear
about the same proportion to the corn crop Of
the country. The report Of the Board of Agri-
culture shows that during the past twenty-one
years, after receiving fair remuneration for the
cost Of the production Of their corn, the farm
ers Of that State have realized net profit OF
nearly 81, ,OOO, ,O00, 900. The average yield per
acre during the past year was thirty-three
bushels. In twenty-one years this has been
exceeded only eight times, the average in 1912
being forty bushels. The present corn crop of
251, 900, 900 bushels has been exceeded but three
times-in 1876 2s0 OOO, ,OOO in 1877 27O, ,OOo, 600;
and in 1879, BOG, 900, 900. The profits on wheat
have Of late years increased the wheat acreage
at the expense of the corn. The average price
n past years has been greater by some cents
than the average for 1880, but the total value
Of the crop was $s4, ,OOO, ,O00-a value which has
been exceeded only twice in twenty-one years.
The value Of hogs marketed in 1880 was $22,
137, 200; in 1879 it was 16,640,0O0. The value
of cattle in 1880, s17,O26, 900; in 1879, s16,-

The Dry Climate of Colorado.

A medical man, writing from Colorado,
says he has been paying particular atten-
tion to the effect of the climate of that
State upon healthy and consumptive
persons, it having been advertised as
highly beneficial for invalids troubled
with affections of the lungs. The doctor
finds that healthy persons lose flesh rap
idly when coming into the rare atmos-
phere of Denver and Leadville. which
are situated at a great height from the
sea, any many of them are taken with a
dry catarrh which results rapidly in
quick consumption and death. Invalids
usually run very short course, and die
within q few days or weeks. Not wish
ing to appear biased, at all, in his opin-
ion, the doctor asks invalids to judge for
themselves whether they think they
would enjoy basking in such climate as
Colorado.

COmpulsOry Education.

On the whole, looking back over the
last ten years we can see that the Con-
tinental system of compulsory education
has lost ground in the United States.
Our people object not so much to the
principle as to the processes and ex-
pedients requisite for Its application.
They exhibit here what may be called
the rough side of national virtue; for
an unconquerable aversion to official
oversight and intermeddling, even when
undertaken from the best motives, is in
separable from habits of self regulation
and self-help. We have learned to think
that partial acquisitions are better when
self-earned than the imposing but
emasculating favors of paternal govern
ments.-NetO York Sun.

Emperor Williams speech, at the opening of
the Reichstag, in Berlin, contains ian important
appeal to the working classes, which is expected
to influence the elections, which will probably
be held i'm June next The Emperor says the
remedy for Socialist excuses must be sought
not only in repression, but equally in posi-
tive attempt to promote the welfare Of the Ia
boring classes. His Majesty says he hopes the
workmen's Accident Insurance Bill will be well
coined by the Reichstag as q compliment to
legislation against Social Democracy. In the
same category is the bill to regulate the con-
stitution Of trade guilds by affording means for
organizing the isolated powers Of persons en-
gagged In the same trade social and moral eff
cheney. The speech announced the bill for con-
alteration Of the Reichstag, as allied Govern
ments are still suffering from difficulties insep-
arabic from simultaneous sitting Of Imperial
and Provincial Parliaments.

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MOVING.

AL shimmering in the morning shine
And diamonded with dew,
And quivering in the scented wind
That thrills its green heart through;
The little field, the smiling field,
With all its flowers a-blowing!
How happy looks the golden field,
The day before the mowingl
Outspread meath the departing light,
Twilight still vold of stars.
Save where, low westering, Venus hides
From the red eye of Mars;
How quiet lies the silent field
With all its beauties glowing,
Just stirring-hke a child asleep,
The night before the moving.
Sharp steel, inevitable hand,
Cut keen, cut kind! Our field
We know full well must be laid low
Before its wealth it yield;
Labor and mirth and plenty blest
Its blameles death bestowing;
And yet we weep and yet we weep,
The night before the moving.

Charles Z. Crawford, clerk, lives at One
Hundred and Sixty-frst street and Morris Ave
nue., New York. His family consists of wife
and daughter Of thirteen. The first Of Sep
tember last Mary Dooley, aged twenty, quiet
looking girl, was employed as q house-servant.
She brought good references. A month or SO
after her arrival various articles began to dsap-
pear. Jewelry and money next were missed.
Search was made and . pocket-book containing
e1 80, stolen from the desk Of Crawford, was
found wrapped in some OF the clothes Of Annie
Louisa, their daughter. She was accused but
denied the theft. Other stolen altices were
discovered In the dolls trunk. The child was
severely punished by the parents who thought
denial added untruth TO theft. They desired her
to confess and to this end severely chastised her,
and 10 avoid further punishment the child ac-
knowledged she had stolen IL. The property con-
tnucd to disappear, and the child was again
accused. She denied, but through fear Of pun
ishmont again confessed. In reply TO q ques-
ton, what had she done with the things she
had taken, she said she had destroyed them
Her parents began TO think she was OF unsound
mind, and physicians put the matter down as
insanity on the subject Of stealing. The child
was watched, but the property continued to
disappear. Incendiarism was added to the
robberies, and the child, 10 avoid chastisement
for telling an untruth, admitted the guilt.
The hands Of the little girl were now strapped
TO her sides, and still the robberies did not
cease, and another fire nearly destroyed the
house. Mr.. Crawford, to prevent bis daughter
from injuring herself, had bolt made, and
procuring chain, chained the child TO the
wall Of the dining-room during the day, and at
night TO the post of tho bed Marv Doolev
the servant, slept with ths child to prevent her
doing herself injury. One day, the early par,
of the present month, lady called TO see Mrs
