Worry.

Don't you know that multitudes
of human beings turn away from
the many blessings Of their lot, and
dwell and brood upon its worries?
Don't you know that multltudes
persistently turn away from the nu-
merous pleasant things they might
contemplate, and look fxedly and
almost constantly, at painful and
disagreeable things? You sit down,
my friend, beside the evening fire.
The blast without is hardly heard
through the drawn curtains. Your
wife is there, and your two grown
up daughters. You feel thankful
that, after the hustle Of the day,
you have this quiet retreat where
you may rest and re6t yourself for
another day, with its hustle. But
the conversation goes on. Nothing
is talked of but the failings and the
idleness and impudence of your
boys. Every petty disagreement
in your lot, in short, is brought out,
turned ingeniously in every possible
light, and aggravated and exagger-
ated to the highest degree. The
natural and necessary result follows.
An hour, or less, of this discipline
brings all parties to snappish and
sulky frame of mind. And instead
of the cheerful and thankful mood
in which you were disposed to be
when you sat down, you find that
your whole moral nature is Jared
and out Of gear. And your wife,
your daughters, and yourself, pass
into moody, sullen silence.
Now, I put it to every sensible
reader, whether there is not a great
deal too much Of this kind Of thing
Are there not families that never
spend a quiet evening together,
without embittering it by raking
up every unpleasant subject in
their lot and history? There are
folks who, both in their own case
and that of others, seem to find q
strange satisfaction in sticking the
thorn in the hand further in, even
in twisting the dagger in the heart,
Their lot has its innumerable bless
ings, but they will not look at
these. Let the view around in a
hundred directions be ever so
charming, they can not be got to
turn their mental view in one of
these. They persist in keeping nose
and eyes at the moral pig sty.-

The Michigan Fires.

A correspondent at Port Huron,
Michigan, on the verge Of the burnt
district furnishes the latest and eX-
act details of the great disaster. 1t
is estimated that l 800 square miles
were burned over, causing a loss
which is put at S2,346,000, reduced
by insurance to $1,722,0O0. But
these figures convey no idea of the
disaster. Such a loss in money
value would be hardly more than a
two-day's wonder in large city. In
the case of the people of Michigan,
however, it means the total destruc-
ton Of hundreds Of homes, and the
annihilation of faithful work and
slow accumulation of years. 1t is
too soon, evidently, to forget the
needs Of the poor people who have
had every dollars worth of property
they own and all their means of
producing food and property swept
away in a day.

Growing Demand for Meats.

English and American epicures
reject all except the most savory
cuts from the choicest portions of
the carcass of high-bred steers. The
demand for this class of meats is
rapidly increasing beyond all pre-
cedent or expectation. Countries
that formerly used meat sparingly
Switzerland for example) now i'm
port about $4,000 annually more
than they export. This, Of cattle
alone, while large amounts Of Amer
lean swine products go to that coun-
try. This is a mere straw, but it
points unerringly to the fact that
we are in our infancy in the pro-
duction Of meats, and that in both
quantity and quality we are not
likely to keep pace with their de-
mand upon US. If any one has
doubts about this, he may as well
dispel them and move on with his
Improvements with vigor, because
the purse of the buyer is sure to
open promptly for all high-bred and
well-fed meat-producing animals.
In some foreign countries the ca
pacity of keeping cattle has decreas-
ed, while, the demand for
meat has materially increased. Our
capacity for keeping farm stock has
materially increased in larger de-
gree and we are very far from hay
ing reached our limit. In view of
the fact that the future demand
will inevitably be very heavy, and
will year by year increase, it speaks
well for the growing intelligence of
our farmers that but few owners are
found who use the term Clancy"
applying this to improved farm
stock in the light of derision. The
constant discrimination made by
buyers and shippers against low
bred cattle, sheep and swine, has
told upon the perverseness of those
farmers who having been brought
up in rut have chung obstinately
to it. There are perhaps one-third
of the whole who yet require to be
reached in the matter of improve
ment, and three fourths or more in
the line of care taking.

The Scientific American advances
the following important informa-
tion to those who desire to get rid of
stumps upon their farms: In the
autumn or early winter bore a hole
one or two inches in diameter, &C
cording. to the girth of the stump,
and about eighteen inches deep,
Put into it one or twoounces of salt
petre, fill the hole with water and
plug it close. In the ensuing
spring take out the plug and pour
in about a gill Of kerosene oil and
ignite it. The stump will shoulder
away without blazing, to the
very extremity of the roots, leav-
ing nothing but the ashes.

Rufus Hatch, of New York, has
been prophesying that wheat would
go to 81 per bushel. The Spring
field Republican offsets this predic-
ton with the assertion that Mr..
Hatch will not see any 50 wheat
this year. The reason why is stat
ed as follows:
'The harvest figures begin to
come in more favorably and the
grand scare is over The New York
produce exchange now estimates
that importing countries will re-
quire not over 265,000,000 bushels
of wheat, and expects to see this de-
mand met by supplies of 100000
OOO from other countries than our
own and the rest from America
say 115000,000 As we have al
ready marketed 100000 bushels
and can supply a large portion of
the rest from the Pacific slope, we
seem to have been holding grain
out of market for which our rivals
have heavy shipments afoat. This
is a big country, but it is a big, big
world, and new wheat-growing
countries enter the competition
every year; Egypt, India and Chill
are the last"

Carlyle as a School Boy.

J. A. Froude, in his early Life
of Thomas Carlyle" in N1netee''th
Century, has this to say of his school
life: "Of the University ne says
that he learned little there. In the
Latin class he was under Professor
Christieson, 'whonever noticed him
nor could distinguish him from an
other Mr.. Irving Carlyle, an older,
bigger boy, with red hair, wild buck
teeth, scorched complexion, and the
worst Latinist'of his acquaintance;
1t was not much better with phil
osophy. Dugald Stewart had gone
away two years before Carlyle en-
tered. Brown was the new profes-
sor, AN eloquent, acute little gentle
man, full of enthusiasm about SIM
pie and relative suggestions to
Carlyle improbable utterly, and
bewildering and dispiriting as the
autumn winds among Wlthered
leaves.
In mathematics only he made
real progress. HIS temperament
was impatient of uncertainties. He
threw himself with delight into a
form of knowledge in which the
conclusions were indisputable,
where at each step he could plant
his foot with confidence. Professor
Leslie (Sir John Leslie afterwards)
discovered his talent and exerted
himself to help him with zeal OF
which Carlyle never afterwards
ceased to speak with gratitude. Yet
even here, on ground with which
he was familiar, his shy nature was
untitled for display. He carried off
no prizes. He tried only once, and
though he was VIGOROUSLY superior
to his competitors, the crowd and
noise Of the classroom prevented
him from even attempting to dis
tinguish himself [ have heard
him say late in life that his thoughts
never came to him in proper form,
except when he was alone"

feature Of to day was the arrival of Gen

the limited express, He was expected
as O'Clock but was In one of the rear
sections of the train and did not arrive
until nearly 8. At four all the stands
were filled with people anxious to see
him, and several thousand gathered
around the depot. The crowd waited till
., when heavy rain began, and those
ON the stands were driven aWay. but a
dense crowd remained in and around
the depot for four hours until General
Hancock arrived. He was met by a
special reception committee consisting of

determination was shown by many of

crowd, and the procession TO WorInlev's

salute was fired at the White lot in honor
OF MS arrival, and there was handsome
display of fireworks all along the route.
