A poor man on his death-ted made
his will. He called his wife to him and
told her of its provisions. IL have left, +"
he said, ''my horse to my parents, sell
it and hand ovor the money you receive
to them. I leave to you my dog, take
good care of him, he will serve you
faithfully" The wife promised to obey,
and in due time set out for the neigh
boring market with the horse and
dog.
Chow much do you want for your
horse p inquired farmer.
az cannot sell the horse alone, but
YOU may have both of them at reason
able rates. Give me one hundred
dollars for the dog and one dollar for
the horse"
The farmer laughed, but as the terms
we're low he willingly accepted them
Then the worthy woman gave the hus
bands parents the dollar received fol
the horse and kept the hundred dollars
for herself.

The Centre Of Population

In the United States was twenty two
miles from Baltimore in 1890, and has
moved westward at the average rate OF
about fifty.one miles every decade,
never deviating to the extent of de-
gree north or south of the thirty ninth
parallel. The greatest progress was
between the years 1850 -56, when it
travelled eighty-one miles from point
in Virginia to twenty miles south OF
Chillicothe, Ohio. This movement was
caused by the settlement of the Pacific
coast. The centre of population in 1870
was forty eight miles northeast OF Gin
cinnati. According to the last census,
the centre has advanced westward fifty
eight miles, and DETECTED to the south
about eight, being near the village Of
Taylorsville, KY, shout eight milef
from Cincinnati. 1t is anticipated that
the next census will find it in Jennings
county, Ind. Supposing the westward
movement of population to continue
the central point should cross the Mis-
sissippi about 1850, not far from tn
mouth of the Missouri. 1t is consider
ed probable, however. that it will neve'

The Milky Way.

Evening has come, and across the skies,
Out through the darkness that quivering dies.
Beautiful. broad and white,
Fashioned of many eilver ray
Stolen out of the ruins of day,
Grows the pale bridge Of the Milky Way,
Built by the architect Night.
1t is pathway leading to Heaven
Over earth's sin-clouds, rent and riven
With it's supernatural light
Crossed by the souls of those who have flown
Silly away from our arms and alone
Up to the beautiful great white throne
Pass in the hush of the night2
1t is the road that our wild dreams walk,
Far beyond reach of our waking talk,
Out to the vague and grand,
Far beyond Fancy's broadest range,
Out to the world Of marvel and change,
Out the mystic, unreal and strange,
Out to the Wonderl md?
What may it be Who may certainly say
Over the shadowy Milky Way.
No human foot hath trod.
Ages have passed, but, unsullied and white,
Still it stands like a fair rainbow of night,
Held as a promise before our dark sight.
Guiding our thoughts to God.

Home Education.

The following rules are worthy OF
being printed in letters OF gold, and
placed in conspicuous place in every
household:
From our children's earliest infancy,
inculcate the necessity Of instant obedi-
ence.
Unite firmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that
You mean what you say.
Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give what
you say.
Always punish your child for willfully
disobsying you, but nevey punish him
in anger.
Never let them know that they vex
you, or let you lose your self COM
mand.
If they give way to petulance or ill
temper, wait until they are calm; then
gently reason with them on the impro-
propriety of their conduct.
Remember that little present pun
ishment, when the occasion arises, is
much more effectual than the threaten
ing of greater punishment should the
fault be renewed.
Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
On no account allow them to do at
one time what you have forbidden under
the same circumstances at another.
Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good, is to be good
Accustom them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
Never allow tale bearing.
Teach them self denial, not self in
! diligence. Practice the above.

The golden rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown L
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges faunt their harvest
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
From dew lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors riseS
At noon the roads all fiutter
With yellow butterflies.
By ali these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With autumn's best of weather.
And autumn's best Of cheer.

A man in England has eioped with

they had been very happy until her
mother, who Was widow, came to live
with her. Her husbands manner then
changed; he became cool and offhand
with her, while his manner to her moth
er was very affectionate. She at last
mads up her mind that she would
speak to her mother upon the subject,
but before she could find an opportu-
nifty her husband and her mother
eloped together. Her mother had
money, while she had none, and she be-
heved that'that was the bait which had
allured her husband. When advised by
the magistrate to apply to the parish
authorities to make her husband sup
port her, she said she would rather
starve than do that.
