A valuable Secret.

II is related OF Franklin. that, from

he noticed mechanic, among q number
Of others. at work on house which was
being erected close by, who always mp
peared TO be in q merry humor, and who
had q kind and cheerful smile for every
one he met. Let the day be ever 30 cold
gloomy or sunless, the happy smile
danced like q sunbeam on his cheerful
countenance. Meeting him one day,
Franklin requested TO know the secret
Of his constant happy flow Of spirits.
Its no secret, Doctor" the man said.

And Franklin adds:

ParchasabIe Health.

cannot, he shows that he lacks the high

Anecdote Of Judge story.

The following apecdote about the fam
Gus jurist Story is in private circulation,
bit is good enough for the public eye.
IL was prepared for Story's biography
by his son, but Charles Sumner, who
edited the work, struck it ont. The mar
rative runs like this: In his younger
days Story lived in the aristocratic old
town Of Salem, in Massachusetts, His
great ability was not then tempered by
as much wisdom az he afterward dis
played, and he was looked upon with
disfavor by some OF the old families.
One day Mrs. A. called upon Mrs. B.,
and in the course Of their conversation
there being a seamstress present
Mrs. A. asked Mrs. B. il her
daughter was going to the party that
evening. NO" was the short reply;
II don't propose TO let my daughter
go to any place which is frequented
by that insignificant young puppy
Story" Years afterward, when Story
was n Judge on the supreme bench. he
visited Salem, and was kindly welcomed
by. those who had kn own him formerly.
Among his hest friends apparently was
Mrs. B., and he accepted her pressing
invitation TO dinner. Now, in the
years winch had elapsed, the seamstress
had become possessed Of q home OF her
own, to which was attached a garden,
with q pear tree, which was just then
loaded with fine fruit. After the invita-
ton to dinner had been accepted the
seamstress received call from Mrs. b. s
servant, asking her 10 send mp q basket OF
her excellent pears for dinner, as "Mr
Justice Story, Of the supreme court OF
the United States, was going to be pres
ent." The good-natured seamstress sent
the pears at once, and with them this
message: Tell your mistress that am
glad the insignificant young puppy
Story has grown to be so fine dog.

A MOnOtonOus Life.


The fact that large proportion Of
farmers wives become insane IL due not
so much to over work a. to the monotony
OF THEN lives. Many q woman who is in
O comfortable house, surrounded by
highly cultivated land, is almost an
automaton, so far as the acts of her daily
life are concerned. Her life was mapped
out for her completely on the day she
entered the farmhouse q bride, with the
exception OF such slight events as the
birth and possible death of children.
While her husband goes about the
country to transact business she stays at
home, refreshing herself by piecing
bed quilt. When he sits down in the
evening to enjoy his pipe and his agrl-
cultural paper. to which perhaps he has
contributed some article ON sheep hus-
bandry, or the most approved method OF
onion raising, she sits by his side, busy
with her knitting work, or with carpet
rag-cutting, wondering meanwhile how
she will be able to get money enough to
buy the warp. For he is. the head of the
house, and doles out the money for the
mere necessities of life with drudging
hand. It would be an unwarrantable
sweeping assertion to say that this is true
of all farm lives. Many o farmers house
is as nearly the true ideal home.as any in
the land; but it is true too often. No
wonder that so many country women
lose their freshness and beauty before
they are forty.

An Indian Ours Broken Heart.

The death of Spotted Tail brought to
light romance of tragic interest in con-
nection with the favorite daughter of
the old Sioux chief. Shortly after the
war battalion of the Second Dragons
was ordered to Fort Laramie, and there
Lieutenant Brockhurst Livingston, of
the well known New York family. saw
and loved the dusky girl, and found his
passion reciprocated. The young officer
took her TO his house and she bore him
a son; but Liyingston's health failed and
he WAS ordered to Europe, where his
mind became unsettled and he died.
The Sioux girl died of broken heart
after learning of his death. and was
carried to Fort Laramie by her father
and there bnriea. Her grave is still
annually decorated with flowers by the
soldiers. The mother of the yonng Off
Ger has sought to find and educate his
son, but the Sioux, either because they
have lost sight of him, or because they
wish to keep him, give no trace of
his whereabouts.

The Resemblance Between Mea aad
MOnkeYs.

II the skeletons of an ourang-outang
and o chimpanzee be compared with that
Of man, there will be found to be the
most wonderful resemblance, together
with very marked diversity. Bone for
bone, throughout the whole structure,
will be found to agree in general form,
position and function, the only absolute
differences being that the orang has nine
wrist-bones, whereas man and the Chin
panzee have but eight; and the chin
nanzee has thirteen pairs of ribs,
whereas the orang, like man,
has but twelve. With these
two exceptions, the differences are
those of shape, proportion, and direction
only, though the resulting differences in
the external form and motions are very
considerable. The greatest of these are,
that the feet of the anthropoid or man.
like apes, MS we'll as those of all monkeys,
are formed like hands, with large opposa-
BILE thumbs fitted to grasp the branches
of trees, but unsuitable for erect walk
ing, while the hands have weak, small
thumbs, but very long and powerful
fingers, forming hook rather than q
hand, adapted for climbing mp trees and
suspending the whole weight from hori-
zontal branches. The almost complete
identity of the skeleton, however, and
the close similarity Of the muscles and Of
all the internal organs, have produced
that striking and ludicrons resemblance
to man wlIich every one recognizes in
these higher apes, and, in less degree,
in the whole monkey tribe; the face and
features, the motions, attitudes aud ges-
tures being often strange oaricature of

consists, and how far, and to what ex-
tent, these animals really differ from us.
