THE OLD FARM.

Out in the meadows the farmhouse lies,
Old and gray, and fronting the west;
Many swallow thither flies
Twittering under the evening skies;
In the old chimney builds her nest.
All! how the sounds make our old heart,
swell
Lend them again on an eager quest;
Bid the sweet winds of heaven tell
Those we have loved so long and well
To come again to the dear old nest.
When the gray evening, cool and still,
Hushes the brain and heart to rest,
Memory comes with joyous thrill,
Brings the young children back at will,
Calls them all home to the gray old nest
Patient we wait till the gray old morn
Rise on our WEAKNESS half confessed
Till, with the chill and the darkness gone,
Hope shall arise with another dawn,
And new day to the sad old nest.
Soon shall we see all the eager cast
Bright with the Day Star, at heavens
behest;
Soon, from the bondage of clay released,
Rise to the Palace, the Kings own feast,
Birds of flight from the last years nest.

The Marriage of Children in India,

One of the greatest evils incident
to Hindoo civilization is the early
marriage of children. Mr.. Wood, ia
his article upon Chunder Sen, states
that he was present one evening at
wedding where boy of 6 was mar
ried to a girl of 4. 'Tne boy" he
adds, must become man before he
takes his wife to his home, but if he
should die in the meantime the child
whom he ceremoniaIly married must
always remain widow. Latterly
the Brahmo Somaj have made an
effort to break up this demoralizing
practice by tax ng an obligation u on
themselves not TO marry their daugh-
tiers until the latter have reached the
age of Is. 1t is hard, however, in
the face of popu ar custom even for
the reformers to observe this rule,
and Chunder Sen himself lately, in
the case of his own daughter, broke
it, as Mr.. Wood relates:
A few years ago Maharajsh, or
prince, was left an orphan, and became
necess rily ward of the English
Government. His property was cared
for, and his education-a very careful
one-seen to by the Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Bengal. This young Maha-
raiah of Kunchberge became one of
the best known characters in Calcut-
! ia, and was universally liked, both by
the natives and the Europeans. 1t
was thought wise for him to travel
in Europe, but it was more than pro-
babl ethat if he undertook the iour>
ney unmarried he would return with
a European wife, and this would in>
iure his influence over his future sub
iects. The English Government
wished him to be married at once
and. on looking around for wife
suitable for their ward, decided te
make proposals for the hand OF the
daughter of Keshub Chunder Sen; L
was great temptation; real lndial
prince, and called by the English tn
best of them all. It was too grea
a temptation to be resisted, and

No, we can't mention any one that might

ems. Most of them raise whatever kind of
poultry they find. They will take goose
as fast as a spring rooster. The only one

German and Latin Type.

An interesting article on German YER
sus Latin type, in II recent number of the
DeutScjte Rzt998Scd1u. sketches the his
tory of the struggle in German which
must end at last in the triumph of COM
mon sense over patriotic sentiment
The Gothic type was the creation of the
earliest German printers, who wished
to make their books as much like con-
temporary manuscript as possible. The
Latin type antigua in printer par
lance-was, broadly speaking, the crea-
ture of Italian humanism, which chung
to it as representing at once close APP
Proclamation to the character of classical
antiquity and rebellion against the
monks, from whose manuscript charac-
ter the Gothic type was developed. AL
ready in 1899 Liebnitz urged upon his
German countrymen the abandonment
of the Gothic type for the more cosmo-
poltan antigua" and in the following
century it seemed as if literary Germany
were about to take his advice. Toward
the end of the eighteenth century the
new or Latin type became burning
question. Goethe was at one time on
the side of change; Kant, on the other
hand, protested against the abandon
ment of the national character. At the
present day victory is once more inclin-
ing to Rome against the barbarians.-
Forty per cent. of all books printed in
Germany in 1880 were printed in IAN
tiqua," and the proportion is steadily
increasing. The Latin type must final
ly win in Germany, as it has won else
where, Prot. Kelle is persuaded; but its
friends will do well to let it win natur-
ally and gradually, without forcing it
on the country by any attempts at legis-
lation.-PaU Nall Gazette.

THE DAILY ARGUS.
Both WAYS.

An old story, frequently told in the
forecastle of British ships, is reproduced
by the New York Ledqer. A seaman
once came before the judges of Admir-
atty for examination as to his fitness for
the office of boatswain on board frig-
ate then fitting out for the Indies. The
august judges were in a petulant mood,
and the president of the board SO far
forgot himself as to ask Jack if he could
tell of the points of the compass.
AYE, strand by your honor's fav-
Or said the honest old tar, II believe
can say it better than your honor can
say your Pater Noster.''
If YOU can do that, my man, you
shall have the berth, " declared the Judge;
and if you don't do it, you sha'n't be
rated at ALL
Jack agreed readily, and spun off the
points of the compass from North TO
North-by East, etc, rapidly, and in fine
style.
Then the Judge repeated the Lords
Prayer. with equal order and regular
ity; and when he had finished he de-
manded to know of his associates; il
Jack had said his compass any better
than he had said his Pater Noster They
decided that he had not.
80, my man, said the judge, You
have lost
No, no, begging your honor's par
donr' criedJack I've done but just half
the work. We don't call man fit to
stand at a ships helm if he can't say
the compass one way as well as the
other. So, now your honor, I'll box it
for You"
And he commenced to give the thirty
two points backwards, commencing,
'North-N North by West etc, and go
ing through as glibly as before. Now.
your honor, we'll hear you Boa the Pater
Noster! That's far-Fll leave it to these
honorable gentleman. ALL
OF course the judge was stuck. He
Joined heartily in the laugh that follow
ed; and Jack got his rate and appoint

The Sultan's Mamma.

The sultana v;iideh is at the bottom
of every scheme, and dominates her
sovereign son to such an extent that ev-
cry pasha courts her favor. A great
scandal and an amusing scene took
place when the Empress Eugene visited
Constantinople fewyears back. Being
anxious to recognize all the kindnesses
and attention paid to her, her majesty
at farewell interview actually kissed
the Walden on the cheek, looking upon
her IN the light of a sister sovereign.
The queen-mother was much excited.
and flew into towering passion Here
