NEIGHBoR PADDOCK.


Al in the Summer morning,
wss sad as sad could be,
For thought Of neighbor Zaddoet,
And how blnSt q msn was he.
With his twice tive hundred acres
Slopin. DOWN. ard to the SEA
Al i'm the Summer morning,
sat folding up my hands,
And the GRASSES 10 my jaundieed eyes
Were tawny rs the sands
For envicd neiglbOr Zaddoek,
And his scawafd slipping lands
The blne-bird might as well have been
The blaekbird ~ the blue,
And the rrses Just as well have dropped
With ffsst As shone with dew,
For the thought Of neighbOr paddock
Made the world of sable hne-
could not tel when Iainbows CLEANED
Along the cloudy skies
Nor s-e the golden gianeing
OF the beauteous butterflies,
For the WOODS Of neighbor Paddock
Made a darkness In my eyes.
could not hear my honey-Lees
A-humning in their hive;
Ny days we're evil days, said,
And had no heart 20 strive
And thought ny neighbor Zasldock
was the hardest man alive!
And so the Hvclong Summer,
sat making my sad moan;
And when across my barren fields
The Autumn leaves were blown,
blamed my neighbor paddock
For the c1rn / had not sown.
Then left my sheep and cattle
To the weather's bitter stress,
And Il saw m ehildrt.n lsar,.farf
And my wife in scanty dress,
And i thought my neighbor paddock
Made their love for me the less.
Al in the wild, wild Winter,
At the middle Of the night,
Thsre came to me a vision
And ii fillod my house with light;
And saw my neighbor ZadaOck
Without maliee-without spite
For voice was In the vision,
And it spoke and said to me:
Suppose that Deishbor Paddock
Has his acres by the sea,
And his threshing floors and orchards;
Has lac gotten them Of thee
Suppose his roof against the rain
Doth friendly shelter make,
And suppose his little children
And his wife their comfort take,
In their shoes and warm wool dresses;
Doth be rob thee for their sakei
Suppose he hath ten oxen,
Fed, and stabbed frOm the cold.
And suppose he hath an hundred sheep
Penned safe within the fold;
Hath he gotten any good Of thee,
When one and all is told r.
Then heard my shiveIing children
In the garnet moan AMI cry
And / thought about my eaitlr,
With no shelter but the sky,
And l knew my neighbor paddock
Was a better man than l.

Il VIII "Out.n

In the reign Of Louis XIV. a certain
brilliant able was one Of a large party
who had assembled round the royal
supper-table. There were clever talk
ers; sharp dealers in epigram, skilful
handlers of compliment and repartee.
One lady, famous for her wit, being
asked to name the three sights that
gave her the greatest pleasure, replied,
"A great general on war horse, q
great preacher on a platform. and q
great thief on gallows."
The able added to the mi,th of the
evening by telling of the adventures of
gay and memorable career. II re-

was young then, and little accustomed
to hear the secrets of court life. 1t was
murderer who told me the secret of
his crime.'' The able was pressed to
tell the tale, or to give clew to the
culprit; but he kept q guarded and
wary silence.
Presently. in came one of the most
trusty Of the king 8 favorites. ..Ah, M.
rAbbe," he said recognizing an old
friend; gentlemen. was the first Pc
intent whom the able ever shribed, aud

story, he heard what astonished him!'
That night the nobleman was carried
to, the Bastile, and the evidence of .
crime, committed thirty years before,
was complete. and the culprit detected.

The Peanut Pirate,

There is boy on the passenger train
between Detroit and Grand Haven who
speaks two languages fuently. On q
recent trip the passengers in the smok-
iDg-car noticed the boy deeply engaged
in counting his money and his books.
He had taken out an armful, and laid
book in the seat of each passenger,
to examine. and then went around and
collected them, selling afew out Of the
number, and when he got back to his
chest in the smoking-car Suspicion
seemed to cross his mind that all was
not right. He counted the books over.
and then the money, then he counted
the money, and the books, while look
of deep anxiety rested upon his proud
though childlike physimahogany. At
length the look Of anxiety gave way to
one of dead certainty. and he jumped
up and said
Some son Of . gun has touched me
for 8 bookr'
A digni6ed old gentleman in seat
manded respect anywhere, said:
my young friend, you seem to use

'Yes he has. I'm givin' it to you

Married Life.

The first year Of married life is q.
very trying thing. No two young
people would ever wish to live ii over
again. They have got to become ac-.
customed to each other. They must
conquer self. They must begin to. live
dually. It is hard lesson to learn.
''Far from wondering that marriage is
sometimes unhappy, i wonder always
that any two people can live together"
said an English divine, who has thor
oughly understood human nature. AT.
ter the illusions Of first love must come
the sober fact that all life is not to be
passed in honeymoons; that we have
married morta1s, not demi-gods or
demi-goddesses, and that the future.
however much it may be illuminated
by the light of sincere affection, is to
be a scene of perpetual self-sacrifice.
The happiness Of marriage depends
upon thevery highest and most delicate
of reserves; Of the most dattering and
careful speech; Of the best and most
honorable perception; upon q kindness
greater, than that of mother to her
child, and upon thousand fysical ca,l-
ses. Nobility of sentiment is born of
love and is the delightful accompani-
ment of married love, even in the most
low-born brute. Even Bill Sykes had
his moments of Tenderness for tie poor
wretch who loved him SO we'll and
whom he murdered. Women romem-
Der these traits and forg t the brutality.
The devotion of q woman to 8 drunk
ard is not remarkable, for of all men,
sdrunkards are sure to have sensibility.
But in the everyday marriage between
two we'll and well-intentioned
persons the danger of losing that first
aroma Of devotion is very great. for the
cares of daily life are very desillusio,aee
1--WE have no English for that); and
unless people are DESTROYS to keep the
flame alight it soon smolders and goes

The Best Farm Horse,


Years ago. when q faster horse than
then existed was desirable, there was
reason in the attempts to improve the
speed of the animal. bnt there is hardly
doubt that the good Of the farmer has
been nearly altogether lost sight Of in
the desire to get horses Of great speed.
The best farm horse Is the strong horse,
and one that can step, out lively, and
has endurance to get through = days
work without great fatigue. The busi-
ness Of raising fast horses is altogether
distinct from the business Of the farm-
er. Its q source Of excitement to see
. horse-race, but when q farmer
thinks the horse he sees racing IS the
one he ought 10 have on his farm he
makes mistake. The heavy Norman
horse would be moro probable than
the one that was simply 3 rncer. q!

Subjects for Thought.

Would you respect yourself, keep
your heart and body clean.
Would you retain the love Of q friend,
do not bo seliislly exacting.
There arc those for whom money
does everything, except to make honor
able men of them.
Would you gain the confidence of
business men, do not try to support the
style of your, employer.
Even poverty is better than avarice;
for while poverty wants many things,
avarice wants everything.
1t is not necessary to threaten bad
man, for his own deeds threaten him
with worse punishment than you can
inflict.
The mere lapse of years is not life.
knowledge. truth. love. beauty. good
ness, faith, alone can give vitality to
the mechanism of existence.
There can not be surer proof OF low
origin. or of an inmate meanness Of
disposition; than to be always talking
and thinking of being genteel.
Every man has In his own life follies
enough; in his own mind, trouble
enough; in his own fortunes, evil
enough, without being curious after the
affairs of others.
+ One Of the greatest Injuries Of riches
is that they enable you to escape 50
much good advice. The rich are al
ways advising the poor, but the poor
seldom venture to return the compli-
ment.
As winter is never gone till the spring
has come, and goes that spring may
come, so mans old state Of sin is never
past till his new state OF goodness has
arrived, and the death Of trespasses
does but end that life Of righteousness
may be established. &
In general, pride is at the bottom Of
all great mistakes. All the other pas
sions do occasional good, but wherever
pride puts in its word, everything goes
wrong, and what may be desirable ia
do quietly and innocently, it is morally,
dangerous to do proudly.
Proportion thy charity to the strength
Of thy estate, lest God proportion thy
estate to the weakness of thy charity
let the lips of the poor be the trumpet
of thy gift, lest, in seeking applause,
thou lose thy reward. Nothing is more

What for Diunar9''

..If I only knew what to get for din
ner!'' is the housekeeper's troubled cry.
II she cannot do more, she can at least
vary the old varieties by bringing them
to the table in q different dress. Even
this is more of an art than may be sup
posed. A reasonable variety of food is
indispensable to bodily health and COM
fort; not necessarily variety at each
meal, but from day to day and week to
week to week. There IS hardly any
thing more delectable than broiled
steak and mashed potatoes. il you are
only hungry and have not partaken Of
them for considerable time; but let
them be set before you every day for
months, unvaried IN their manner Of
preparation, and you get to dislike
them. Potatoes boiled with their skins
on ire nice enough for anybody; but let
potatoes 60 cooked be the order of ev-,
cry meal, and every thing that bears re-
enblance to : potato peeling will soon
become an object Of disgust

The LIE Of Whit,

4 In travelling through the Isle Of
Wight one cannot fail to be struck by
the apparent contradiction between
the careful tillage of the soil aud the
fewness of the houses and people. Ex-
cept on the downs, which, bling pure
chalk formation, are scarcely arabic,
and here and there bit Of woodland,
there is no waste ground to be seen.
Every acre is cultivated. the roads are
beautifully made. the hedges along the
roadside are well kept; and yet roads
and fields are alike deserted. At ono
place and another I have seen a few
men moving scanty crop of hay; but
the general aspect of the island is as if
it were q perpetual Sunday and every
one had gone to church.. Where there
are houses they are ugly brick struc-
lures, with matched or tiled roofs, and
dumped together after the fashion of
English villages; while the country
for miles around is unbrokcn by q
dwelling.
One does not even see the houses of
the holders of the large estates. There
is no such generous architectural dis
play, for instance, rs will be found on
Orange Mountain, or along Broadway
from Spuyten Dnyvil to Tarrytown. II
there are elegant dwellings in the Isle
Of Wight they are not a feature of the
landscape. and even where one adjoins
the road it is usually shut out from
view by high brick wall. This COM
pletaness of the cultivation and absence
OF homes give the country, as one views
it, from the top of the downs, the ap.
pearance of great private park. One
mig bit almost fancy the whole of it q
front dooryard to Her Majesty's palace
of Osborne. Nowhere else in England,
1 fancy, can better idea be obtained,
from merely superficial observation, of
the partial distribution of the English
soil. Elliot Mccormack, en- Christian
