An Oath of Allegiance.

The conceit of some young students is amusing. They remind one of the cackling of hen which has laid an egg. If they discover an idea, their impulse is to rush out, crying, "Eureka, I've found it." Older students are amused, knowing the idea to be centuries old.
 One of this class, a student of law, once boasted to friend his knowledge of Blackstone's Commentaries, the first book put into the hands of those study ing law. His friend proposed to exam inc him and asked,-
 ''Can you tell me what an oath of allegiance is"
 ''An oath of allegiance?" said he, running his hand through his hair, in the style so common to knowing young sters. "Do I know what an oath of allegiance is? I reckon I do. It is when man takes an oath and swears what he alleges is true."
 The friend suggested that "Webster's s Unabridged " should be companion of Blackstone. t-.

A Sensible Wedding Tour.

A Boston paper speaks jokingly of a young married couple "who took their wedding tour in one of the horse cars. ,
 But was it not great deal more sensible than to spend all their money in trip to some fashionable watering-place, and have to return to some garret-room until they could recuperate from the result oi their extravaganza? It is all right enough to make wedding tour if mon- ey is plenty; but young people of small means act sensibly when they refuse to ape fashion which their slender purses will not bear. One of the evils of the age is that young people refuse to marry until they get "well off," or erich enough to support a wife, The old maxim of our fathers and mothers,
 "marry for love and work for your money," is kept sadly in the background by the false lights of modern fashionable society. A young man and woman,
 honest, virtuous, and with health, who
 marry for love, are on the highway to honor, usefulness and wealth; and in
 nine cases in ten, twenty years hence will have money to lend to the needy and seadv form ne- huntar Of tuaptv vaars

Half a Billion Cigarettes.

The most interesting things in life are figures. Among the items recently pub lished in this paper, says the New York Herald, we find one that will interest the young gentlemen and bootblacks to whom the pungent odor of the fragrant cigarette is better than the substantial diet of bread and butter. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, there were taxed in the United States alone, at $1. 75 per 1000, 67,3s6, ,9s2 cigarettes, giving a revenue of 1892, ,92922. These 567,- 000,0 cigarettes were wretched ar ticle, made of cheap paper, tobacco fill ings and dirt. A better grade of cigar cite, on which the tax is $6. % per 1000, was patronized to the extent of 5000 only, giving revenue of but $54! Do the young readers catch the idea {? Do they see the point ? They and their little boy friends smoked in that one year over 567, 100000 cheap and nasty cigarettes, while but 5000 good and fair priced were bought and used. The year before there was total revenue of $715, ,269.39, of which $42 only were for the high priced article, showing an in- crease in one year of $277, ,711.93 in revenue from this source alone. The perfume from cigarette made with the best Turkish tobacco is endurable in the open air, although even then the acrid smell from the burning paper is intense ly disagreeable to sensitive nostrils but the stench that is blown from immature mouths exhaling the smoke from cheap paper and inferior filings is ildescrib- ably offensive. The one thing to be said in favor of cigarette smoking is that it brings money to the coffers of the government. But even that must be discounted by the thought that habit so pernicious that it poisons the blood, upsets the nerves, uudertones the stomach, discolors the skin, and dis gusts everybody near the smoker.

RecOOking of Meat.

There are the remains of joint of mutton in the house :; one woman will cut this meat up into slices aud put it into saucepan with the materials for making the hash, and boil all together till done. The result is that the meat is cooked twice, and eats like leather, and people say that they hate hash. An other woman will cut all the meat off the bone in nice slices, flour the meat, sprinkle with a little pepper and salt, and set aside. The bone she will then break up into fragments and boil it in water for two hours in 8 nice clean saucepan. The vegetables and season. ing she will then fry in fat or butter till they are cooked fairly and nicely Drowned. She will then strain out all the fragments of bone (so that people can eat the hash without fracturing their teeth) from the stock, add the fried vegetables, and lastly, put in the slices of meat. The whole will then be simmered for ten minutes, so as just to warm the meat through, and carry the cooking of the underdone meat up to the proper point. Meanwhile, some sippets of toast will be made ready to set around the dish into which the hash is poured. Here, by attention to first principles, the remains of an underdone leg of roast mutton, instead of being spoiled for food and made disagreeatle, is converted into wholesome and de- licious dish.

A Young Girl Holds a Mad Dog.

The Elmira Advertiser says: A cir cumstance which occurred in Syracuse recently is worthy of more than a pass ing mention. Mrs. Palmeter of that city was passing along one of the streets, having with her small pet dog, which all at once showed symptoms oi hydrophobia, frothing at the mouth and snappine on all sides.
 Mrs. Palmeter attempted to seize the animal, but he eluded her grasp and at- tempted to bite her, when the little brave girl who accompanied her-her daughter, only fourteen years of age caught the dog by the neck and held it fast, calling to her mother to hasten and get some man to come and kill it.
 The mother saw that this was the only course, and hurried away, but it was some time before she could get help. When she returned, accompanied by gentleman who had volunteered to finish the brute, she found the brave girl, with flushed face and flashing eyes, hanging on to the mad creature, which was making desperate efforts to bite her. The dog was quickly despatched without injury to any one.

Shipping a Crew.

.s'You know how they ship crew,
 don't you ?" said an old sailor to a
 reporter. eff you don't I'll tell you.
 A few days before vessel is going to
 sea shipping broker, who used to be
 called shipping master, goes on board
 and asks the captain if he has engaged
 crew yet. If the captain says he has
 not the broker proposes to do it for him
 and the captain asks him what he is
 willing to pay for the privilege. The
 broker will inquire how many men he
 wants, and suppose the captain says fifteen before the mast, then the broker thinks it over for while, and for a starter offers $3 head for the right to engage the men, promising the captain,
 of course, as good men as can be found in the port. T can do better than that the captain says, perhaps. q can get $4 head from another broker. Then this broker says that he too will give 4 head. It becomes matter of competition between the two brokers,
 and finally one of them gets the con- tract for $5 head, let us say. He pays the captain $75 down, and from that moment the captain is in his power.
 He has compounded a felony, and the broker can get him in trouble at any time by going to the District Attorneys s office. A day is fixed on which the broker is to produce the men at his office for the captains inspection and selection, and then the broker goes back to his office to make the best terms he can with the boarding house keepers who are running about town in search of berth for some man who owes them 80 much that they don't want to increase it. Let us say that the landlord agrees to pay $7 for the privilege; then he goes home and says to Jack: T want you to go with me tomorrow to ship on the so and so to such place for so much month and $7 for the chance of going All right, says Jack, and next day, if the captain is satisfied with him, he signs at the Shipping Commissioner, gets a note for the first months wages and gives it to the landlord, who gets his own pay and the brokers charges out of it. There it is now. The assurance of advance wages gets you job. Of course if you have money enough to pay your land lord on the condition that he finds you a ship it is the same thing to the land lord. But how are sailors to get and keep that money ?''

"LN PACE. 7"

[An Echo of Dante Rossetti, in Songs by tn
 Cambridge Lotos Clnb.] When you are dead some day, my dear, Quite dead, and under ground, Where.you will never see or hear
 A summer sight or sound; What shall become of you in death, When all our songs to you Are silent as the bird whose breath Has sung the summer through. wonder will you ever wake,
 And with tired eyes again Live for your old life's little sake An age of joy or pain? Shall some stern destiny control That perfect form, wherein hardly see enough of soul
 To make your life sin? For we have heard, for all llthings born One harvest day prepares Its golden gamers for the corn, And fires to burn the tares But who shall gather into sheaves, Or turn aside to blame The poppy's pucker'd leaves,
 Blown bells of scarlet flame? No hate so hard, no love so bold To seek your bliss or woe; You are too sweet for hell to hold, And heaven would tire you SO! A little while your joy shall be, And when you crave for rest, The earth shall take you utterly Again into her breast. And we will find a quiet place For your still sepulchre, And lay the flowers upon your face, Sweet as your kisses were; And with hushed voices void of mirth. Spread the light turf above, Soft as the silk you loved on earth AS much as you could love. Few tears, but once, our eyes shall shed, Nor will we sigh at all, But come and look upon your bed When the warm sunlights fall. Upon that grave no tree of fruit Shall grow, nor any grain; Only one flower of shallow root, That will not spring again.

A BRASS band that is all in one piece

Dashinp II OF.

The first and most prevalent miscon-
ception of tyros is, that an article or q
poem, to be brilliant, must be ''dashed
off" They have heard, of course, that
johnson wrote "Rasselas" in a week;
that Byron was only thirteen days over
"The Corsair;" that Scott was scarcely
double that time in writing a volume OF
"Waverly;" and that Burns composed
eTam O. Shanter" between dinner and
tea. But they forget that before these
tasks were accomplished johnson had
composed and published what would fill
volumes; Byron had already spent the
best of his years in the constant prac-
hce of his pen; Scott had edited the
Border ballads, the works of Swift and
Dryden, and written the greatest OF his
poems; and that Burns was an expert
and practiced in verse-making as long
experience in the art could make even
him. Apart altogether from the ques-
ton of the super-eminent genius of all
these men, they did not attain to this
degree of literary celebrity all at once.
They did not jump into it as man may
get into suit of new clothes. 1t was in
each case the result of the unwearied
practice of their art There must have
been instances, such as that of the poet
Campbell, where the genius ripened
early, and where the first work was the
best; but this is very rare even in the
ranks of genius. The rule in these ranks
has rather been on the side of unmit-
gated labor in correcting and
perfecting their compositions. Many
of them, such as Gibbon, wrote and re-
wrote the first of their productions three
or four times over; and after all, when
they saw their work in print, have been
known to declare that they thought they
could still improve it were they to write
it over yet againl It may be taken,
therefore, as fundamental rule in the
attainment of literary excellence, to spare
no labor in perfecting and polishing, and
to leave no word, or sentence, or passage
unimproved that still seems to admit of
improvement. Attention to this would
save many young writer some of his
bitterest disappointments.-

Never Mind the Butcher.

1t was during the peninsula campaign,
Just before the battle of Williamsburg,
that General Mcclellan had issued an
order forbidding foraging under penalty
of severe punishment. A section of ar
tillery had been supported by the Fifty
sixth New York Volunteer Infantry in a
little skirmish late in the evening, and
owing to some misunderstanding the in
fantry and artillery were left on the
picket line till a late hour without any
rations. Darkness had closed in and q
farm-yard in the vicinity offered too great
a temptation for the hungry artillerymen
to resist. Soon the fragrant aroma Of
roast pig drew more than one officer to
the vicinity of the improvised barbecue.
Among others was Colonel Van Wyck,
the senior officer in command. He was
asked by one of the improvised camp
cooks if he would partake of the menu.
"Certainly," replied the Colonel, and
with sharpened appetite he at once took
hold of the luscious roast porcine ribs.
Suddenly staff officer rode upon the
scene. With an unmistakable French
twang he said: "With de compliments
of de General commanding, wish to
know who kilt dis roast hog?"
"Ten the General commanding" "
roared Colonel Van Wyck, stretching his
tall form to its utmost altitude, " that
Colonel Van Wyck never inquiries who
the butcher is when he sits down to q
gentleman's table"
The staff officer was the Comte de
Paris of General cClellan's staff. No
further inquiry was instituted into the
mystery of the foraging expedition.
