Fun AS A MORAL FORCE.-Fun

Fun AS A MORAL FORCE.-Fun is
as distinct moral force as prayer.
A good hearty, healthy laugh will
clear the cobwebs out of the brain,
renew the blood, tone the nerves,
and drive all thought of committing
fragrant wrong from the mind. 1t
banishes worrying cares, and knlts
humanity in common kindred. Ev-
cry missionary society ought to pro-
vide amusement. Preaching services,
prayer meetings, Sunday schools,
philanthropic organizations, and even
charity well bestowed get no closer
to the hearts of the humble than do
those who induce them to steal an
hour away from exacting toll to re-
cuperate their energies and renew
their moral vigor by rational enjoy
ment. This done, and the work OF
getting in communion with them is
complete. Laugh with those who
laugh, and weep with those who
weep, and see if by contributing to
their mirth you cannot cause them to
forget sorrow and to stop thinking of
the battle of life long enough to real
ize that men and women were made
to be invigorated by fun, morally
mentally and physically.-Atbany

LORD BEACONSFIELD'S So
CIAL QUALITIES.

Of loyalty to his political friends
lie was a model, and nothing did
more to secure his command of the
party than the sense that his profess
sional honor, so to speak, could be
implicitly relied upon. Toward his
wife, warm hearted woman older
than himself, and inferior to him both
in birth and education, he was uni
formly kind and indeed devoted.
The first use he made of his power as
prime minister was to procure for her
the title of viscountess. A story
used to be told how, long ago, when
his political position was still far from
assured, he and his wife happened
to be with the chief of the party, and
that chief so far forgot good manners
as to quiz Mrs. Disraeli at the dinner
table-not Indignantly, but with a
spice of satire. Next morning Mr..
| Disraeli, whose visit was to have last
ed for some days longer, announced
that he must leave Immediately. The
host besought him to stay, and made
all possible apologies. But Disraeli
was inexorable, and carried his wife
off forthwith. To literary men, what
ever their opinions, he was always
ready to give helping hand, repre-
senting himself as one of their pro-
fession. Success did not turn his
head. nor make him assume the airs
of grdnd seigneur. In paying COM
pliments he was singularly expert,
and made good use of his skill to win
friends and disarm enemies. He
knew how to please .Englishmen, and
especially the young, by entering into
their tastes and pleasures, and, with
out being what would be called gen
ial, was never wanting in bOnhonenaae.
In society he was a perfect man OF
the world-told his anecdote apropos,
wound up a discussion by some hap
ply epigram, talked to the guest next
him as he would to an old friend.
In short, he was excellent company.
But he had few intimates nor did
his apparent frankness unveil any
thing more than he chose to reveal

A GREAT BLESSING MOTHERS AND NURSES
"Swayne's TeethIng Cure for infants. This new
theory and infallibe remedy has saved the lives Of
thousands of children. When the child is in pain or
restless with its teeth shooting in its gums. simply
rub the gums for two or three minutes with the
"Cure" What little it may swallow will relieve the
colic pain and atulence. prevent fever, and avoid
that painful operation of lancing the gums which
always makes the next tooth harder TO through
and sometimes causes death. Depend upon it, moth
ers will give rest to yourselves and immediate relief
and health to your infants. A very able medical
writer who enjoys large and lucrative practice, says
rubbing the gums with a soothing lotion is the only
true method for children teething, poisonous drugs
should never be introduced into their delicate stom-
achs "Swayne's Teething Cure is prepared only by
Dr. Swayne Son, Philadelphia, and sold by all lead
ing apothecaries at 25 cents a bottle.

RIDICULOUS SAYING.-General Tay-
lor was made ridiculous for time by
the sentence which occurred near the
beginning of his message to the Thir-
ty-frst Congress, December, 1S49, as
follows: 1--WE are at peace with all
the world, and seek to maintain our
cherished relation of amity with the
rest of mankind" But Mr.. Buchan-
an almost matched it at the South, in
which he said: II do believe, gentle
men, that mankind, as well as the
the people of the United States, are
interested in the preservation of this
Union :" and John c. Calhoun, IN
commenting upon the clause in the
Declaration of Independence to the
effect that all men are created equal,
remarked that "only two men were
created and one of these was a
woman"

He knelt, and, crossing his hands
on his breast, calculated silent
prayer.
At that moment stir was perceiv-
ed among the crowd, and a female
broke through the soldiers that sur
rounded the drop, and threw herself
into the arms of the criminal.
"Not yeti Not yet! Spare him

soon from my arms !' she CALCULATED.
"My poor mourner, tbs too late,

She sank insensible into the arms
of her husband.
''Now is the time,'' cried he, print
ing last kiss on her pale cheek, as
he consigned her to his confessor, di-
recting him to remove her from the
spot. s'The bitterness of death is

her one lingering look, and calmly sub
mitted to the hands of the execu.

The motion attending the remova

Involuntarily she turned her eyes
towards the fatal spot.

from the sequel.

AS GOOD AS LIFE INSURANCE.

The increasing interest in the SUBJ
ject of the preservation of the forests,
is a good sign, but it will be mis-
take to rely too much upon state or
municipal action. Individual interest
will do far more if it can be brought
to see the value of the work. We
have no primogeniture and entail to
keep together great family estates,
but there is nothing to prevent a
mans handing down to his posterity
a property on which he has expended
labor for their benefit. Selfish men
do not see the value of providing for
posterity, and yet there are not few
who are sufficiently provident for their
children to invest quite sum yearly
in life insurance. Why should not
an investment in forest lands be an
equally good investment for the chill
dren? Statistics show that the sup
ply of lumber in this country is very
rapidly diminishing, and at the pres
ent rate wood will become too eXpen-
sive for building purposes, except for
interior uses, during this generation.
Wood will always be wanted for fuel,
but its value is sure to appreciate as
it grows more scarce. 1t is evident
that the forests are going to be valu
able, and that forest culture will offer
as sure and as large profit in the
long run, as almost any agricultural
industry. The man who purchases
100 acres of woodland at a small
price, trims it up, plants anew the
portions denuded and generally pro-
notes the best growth of the trees,
may not realize fortune upon it in
his lifetime, but the chances are that
his children will find it a source of
income not to be despised, and even
more permanent than any bequest of
money.

THE OLD, OLD HOME.

When long for salnted memories.
Like angel troops they come,
If 1 fold my arms to ponder,
In the old, old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rosebuds from the blast,
Where glrlhood's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
AS to some hallowed dome,
Lifes pilgrim sends her vision
'Tis the old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly,
BY the hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
Of his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child 'twould roam;
Thus a mother counts her treasures,
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals.
The blended vesper hymn,
(Some dear one who was swelling it
Is with the seraphim.)
The fond good-nights at bedtime,
How quiet sleep would come,
And found US all together
In the old, old home.
Like wreath of scented flowers
Close intertwine each heart;
But the time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come.
If fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

to England. Five years ago, when
the shipments first began, twenty
quarters a week could not be sold in
Liverpool; now, Liverpool alone
takes between 5000 and 1000 quar-
ters week, and the whole trade
amounts to from 10000 to 10000
quarters a week, which, at 200 pounds
to the quarter, would make 2,200,000
pounds of beef sold each week in
Great Britain, or ia 400, 900 pounds
a year. In an article referring to
this large shipment of beef from this
country into the English market, the
Manufacturers Gazette notes that a
curious fact in connection with the
trade is that, even with the cost of
transportation, American beef retails
in England at a much lower figure
per pound than it does on this side
of the water. The Gazette explains
that the secret lies in the difference
in cutting. In England side of
beef is cut into pieces of from ten to
twenty pounds weight, and neither
bone nor fat is removed. English
men when they buy meat do not ask
for piece of the round or sirloin, as
Americans do, but for so many
pounds of meat, and are Indifferent
from which part of the animal it
comes.

BARNUM'S BABY ELEPHANT.

P. L. Barnnm's new baby elephant
weighed 145 pounds at birth, instead
of 40 pounds, as first telegraphed.
1t is 21a feet in height and 3 feet
in length, and its little trunk is z
inches long. "Queen," the mother,
is a huge beast % years old, weigh
ing about $500 pounds, and is one
of the worst-tempered elephants on
record, but she nevertheless guards
her offspring with fierce tenderness
which BODIES no good for those who
come too near. Unlike ''Hebe," the
first captive elephant mother. whose
little one was born two years ago, she
showed the greatest fondness for the
baby, and the keeper was at first
able to approach her only when
shielded by it. Once when it STUN
bled over a rope, the anxious mother,
whose legs were bound fast to stakes,
set up a roar that let loose the throat
of every lion, tiger and elephant in
the building, causing a general scam
pering of all present. A newspaper
man who visited Bridgeport on Sat-
urday says: ''When the. door was
opened a singular spectacle was pre-
sented. Chained by one foot to a
post which occupied the center of The
floor stood large elephant; and
tumbling about among her legs was a
miniature caricature, nOndescript
burlesque of elephantine life. More
than anything else this creature re-
sembled an exaggerated rat, with
very long legs and an unusually large
nose. And this ungainly, mouse
colored quadruped, bristling with
dark hairs, glaring mischievonsly
from twinkling beady eyes, friskine
rat-like tail and waving an atten-
uated trunk, while stumbling awk-
wardly about as though weak in the
knee Joints, was the baby elephant
The conduct of the baby and it,
mother offered a curious and comica
sight. Baby was inclined to be ad
venturous, contrary to the manner o
her sex, which is feminine. First
however, her trunk seemed to excite
in her a lively curiosity, and also t
be somewhat in her way. So open
ing her mouth she curled up he
trunk and squinted at it from her lit
tie eyes. Satisfied finally that it be
longed to her, she let it drop grace
fully, tapped her ears and starte'
for walk. Her gait, if adopted b
Fifth Avenue bellies, would undoubt
edly make a sensation. Althoug
the hopeful child fioundered abou
between her legs in most reckles
fashion, the mother never touched
, save with wonderful gentleness. DC
: casionally Queen put down her trun
and fondled her little one, which re
- sponded as best it could, althoug
= apparently not yet clearly under
. standing how its trunk was to b
managed" Barnum rightly think
) that he has big card for his ''grea
u moral show" this year. He has nan
} ed the baby "America,' and has il
y sured her for $780, 900 for one yeal
io None of the insurance companie

MARGERY.

In a farmhouse, red and olden,
Where the morning sunbeams golden,
Flashed from diamond pane and gable,
Glanced from weathercock and stable
Where dwelt Margery-form and feature
Plain, unshapely-but creature
With a soul athirst for beauty
Hedged in by the path of duty.
CThe cream must be churned, and the wool must be
spun,
And the cows must be MIXED by the set of the sum-
So Margery toeth.)
Never lark on bright May morning
Trilled his welcome to the dawnng,
Not wildfower meath the hedges,
In the breeze swung pearly edges,
Neer sun-rays from cloud out-peeping,
Hills ID rosy glow are STEPPING
But her loving heart out-reaching
Grasped the lesson they are teaching.
(But the must be churned and the wool must
be spun,
And the must be MIXED at the set of the sun,
And Margery toileth)
Thus the long years slowly drifted.
Never the burden lifted
Hands grew knotted, shoulders STOPPING,
Meath the weight of care down dropping;
Drunken father, feeble mother.
Frsil young sisters thankless brother,
And the love that might have crowned her,
Passed her by and never found her.
(Yet the cream must be churned and the wool must
be spun,
And the must be milk ed at the sci of the sun,
Brave Margery toileth)
Say ye that her life was wasted
All the joys of life untasted?
Nay, each nature narrow-seeming
May with richest grace be teemiug.
All! the angels knew her story
When she donned their robes of glory,
And beyond the hidden portal
Margery wears a crown mmortali
(The cream is unchurned, and the wool is unspuu,
The cows all unmilked at the set of the sun.
Tired Margery resteth)
