"Jadarcroft." 1"

A Visit to the Home of the Late Rayard Taylor.
 In passing from Oxford to West Chest CT made detour from the main road and visited Cedarcroft, the home of the late Bayard Taylor. The place is ill charge of courteous and intelligent negro couple, who were busily engaged in putting the house and grounds in or der in anticipation of the arrival of Mrs. Taylor and her daughter.
 A farmer whose lands adioin Cedar croft, said that Mrs. Taylor and her daughter were very kind and polite to those who made pilgrimages to Cedar croft. ''They are good bit like Bay ard, he said. '.He was kindness and courtesy personifed, and master hand to entertain by his talk and stories.- Some folks thought a good deal of his lectures, but in comparison with his con versation, they were constrained and unentertaining. Lying under the cedars he would smoke his long-stemmed pipe and talk about his travels, about books and everything under the sun, in a vein that was charming beyond my poor powers to express. He has often kept me by the hour; and though am more than ordinarily fond of music. have never heard song in my life which was sweeter to listen to than the care less, half-earnest, half-jocular disserta- tions in which Bayard was wont to in- dulge. as he pulled away at his pipe and sent the smoke wreaths upwards
 Another neighbor said. s.I used to go to school with Bayard. He was always fine fellow-cbock full of spirit and snap. He was never so happy, boy or man, as when he was doing some of us a favor. Yes.' he added, refectively, 'Bay was a good neighbor; he did q heap for the town, and when he died in Der lin, Kennett lost friend"
 Your people about here," I ven tured, ''came to think. after while. that he was considerable of . man, I suppose?"
 s.Oh, yes. Long at first, when he was learning printin', and got to writ ing poetry and wantin' to 20 to Europe, folks thought he was kinder odd like, but we got used to all that, and some of us used to read his books. He was good | neighbor, and most of us around here cried when he died"
 It was gratifying to know that Ken nett was disposed to forgive the literary transgressions. passed on smiling, and contrasted the different views of Taylor's whilom schooimate and Thon- as Bailey Aldrich. Amid the signing of the cedars the latter's beautiful trib- ute to Bayard Taylor came back to me, and with full heart 1 murmured the closing lines, and felt that they were true:
 And when the summer winds sweep over Ce-
 darcroft,
 He'll come again. I can not make him dead.
 Cedarcroft is advertised for sale It is picturesquely situated. and the house "a substantial structure of unfinished brick, built in 1859-stands embowered among a grove of cedars. The house where he was born stands directly across the road from Cedarcroft. but his par ents, who are very old. live in 8 small brick house at Kennett Square, few miles distant They nave recently cele- brated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage, and are still hale and hearty. 1 A modest monument, recently erected, marks the poets last resting-place, in Longwood cemetery, 9 mile from Cedar croiE-R Philadelphia Press.

Children's Droll Savings.

Children's remarks are at times even more entertaining than their comical queries and replies.
 One of two children who were amus- ing themselves by coloring pictures sud- denly exclaimed,-
 Well, how stupid of you to paint that COW bluer'
 ''Oh, its blue with the coldr' quickly observed the other. Don't you see it is winter, and the poor thing is most frozen?n
 A little girl on being told something which greatly amused her. said that she would remember it the whole of her life, and when she forgot it she would write it down.
 A canary had begun to twitter little after moulting, but was unable to sing its entire tune. A little four-year-old, after listening to one of the birds vain attempts to master his tune, said very composedly, Mamma, birdie forgot the other half of the verse"
 Canaries bring to mind their enemies, the cats. A gentleman had cat which had five kittens. On ordering three of them to be drowned, his little boy said.-
 ''Pa, do not drown them in cold wa. ter. Warm it first; they may catch cold"
 A relative of the writer's crossing the Channel when he was very small boy, suffered much from sea-sickness. Hear ing good deal of talk on board about the motion of the steamer, he confident ly informed his parents on landing, that if he bought boat, he wouldn't have any motion to it.
 The following remark of little girl shows an opinion of her elders the re- verse of flattering.
 ''Oh dearr' she exclaimed to her doll, 'I do wish you would sit still. 1 never saw such an uneasy thing in all my life. Why don't you act like grown folks, and be still and stupid for q while?''
 In contrast to this was the delicate compliment paid to his mother. The family were discussing at the supper table the qualities which go to make up the good wife. Nobody thought the lit tie fellow had been listening or could un- derstand the talk, until he leaned over the table and kissed his mother, and said,-
 Mamma, when get big enough, Pm going to marry lady just exactly like you, ChriStian ct Worb.

| A Western engineer tells the follow ing story which happened in his own eXpefience:-
 ''Onee the train stepped to. get wood and water at small station in Indiana. While this operation was going on, 1 observed two green-looking countrymen in 'homespun' euriously inspecting the locomotive, and occasionally giving vent to expressions of astonishment. Final ly one of them looked up and said,- " Stranger, are this I locomotive?' Certainly it is,' replied. Did you never see one bcforc?'
 " No, haven't never seen one. Men Bill came to the station tonight on purpose. Them's the b'iler, ain't it?'' |" Yes

 " And this big wheel?'
 That's the driving-wheel.'

 After eying me closely minute, the man said to his mate,-
 I say, Bill, it don't take much of a man to be an engineer.

Seated in a corner, Miss Isabel enjoy ed the ride very much, commenting on all the handsome residences they pass ed.
 What an elegant place!" she cried, as they drew near fine old mansion in the midst of stately grounds, with gleam of marble statuary among the trees, and sparkling fountain tiinging its bright drops in the air upon we'll kept lawn.
 We will stop here" said Uncle Ed, as the coachman drew up his horses,
 "Here! Why, do you know these peo- pie? Who owns this placer" asked Isa- bel.
 Il do," returned Uncle Ed, quietly. as he assisted her to aight.
 ''Your' cried Isabel, with at least three exclamation points after the word.
 Mrs. Damon stopped short on the car riage steps to say,-
 .'Is it possible, Edward?''
 ''Yes, 1t is even so," returned Uncle Ed, smiling. ''Come, Ruthie dear, this is the home I have brought you to; let us go in, and see how you like it."
 The surprised party followed him through the grounds to the door, where they were admitted by neat colored boy.
 "Good-morning, John," said Uncle Ed. Here is your new mistress" pre- senting Ruth," as John bowed low, af- ter the manner of polite darkey, to welcome the young lady.
 1.-The rooms are all in order, John?" asked Uncle Edward.
 ''Yes, sah," replied John.
 ''Very well, we will take look at them. Come, ladies.n
 He led them through lofty rooms, most elegantly appointed, pausing at last in Ruth's own chamber, lovely room, all soft drab, blue and silver, and fit for queen or lady.
 And here," he said, opening anoth- CT door into room furnished with rose color, ''is room for your sisters, when they may choose to come and stay with you. know you don't like to climb stairs"
 ''But-but- Edward" said Mrs. Da- mon, who was the first to recover her voice, '.we are astonished beyond meas ure. 1 thought you said you had only made little out yonder." Uncle Ed smiled. l W ell. ultl iudhO u lItlo, NlSI S-tluu 1 never was given much to bragging, | you know. Beside, had fancy to see whether Uncle Edward poor and Uncle i Edward rich were to be considered the same. You have all been kind''-Mrs | Damon winced little, for she knew il had only been pitying sort of kind ness-''and my little Ruthie, here, most of all, for she has come to make my home bright. Tll'take good care of her and give her hundred dollars month for pocket money; and when she mar ries intend to settle twenty thousand dollars on her for wedding present.
 Isabel sank down iu chair, speech less with astonishment, while Mrs. Da mon exclaimed,-
 "Goodness gracious! I can hardly be lieve it yet, Edward"
 You'll get used to it, Mary. Now Ruthie dear, take your sister to your room and take off her things. Mary you and Isabel must stay all day; I vii send you home in my carriage"
 Little Ruth. as she moves harpi!, about ''poor Edwards magniGcen home, feels very happy. She was kind generous and honest and now she hs- her reward.

When Chinaman on board a quar- antined ship in San Francisco harbor de- sires to be taken ashore, he produces imitation pustules on his face and body by pinching his flesh with the moistened knuckles of his index and middle fin gers, and thus leads the ships doctor to declare him afflicted with the smallpox. The trick was the invention of 8 Chi nese passenger on the City of Pekin when that steamer was in quarantine. He imparted it to about twenty of his moon-eyed companions, and they all pinched themselves. produced pustules and were removed forthwith to the pest house on shore. Tn a few days they were discharged as cured, and began work on ranche on the San Joaquin fully thirty days before the other pas sengers were landed. And after perpe- trating the ruse one of the number was mean enough to tell the Frisco health officers how he had 'heap foo!ee" the quarantine regulations. Such ingenui- ty is deserving of better field.

What is cure for gossip? Simply culture. There is great deal Of gos- sip that has no malignity in it. Good natured people talk about their neigh bors because, and only because, they have nothing else to talk about Cos sip is always a personal confession, eith- CT of malice or imbecility, and the young should not only shun it, but by the most thorough culture relieve them selves from all temptations to indulge in it. It is low, frivolous, and too often dirty business. There are country neighborhoods in which it rages like pest. Churches are split in pieces by it. Neighbors make enemies by it for life. In many persons it degenerates into a chronic disease, which is practi- cally incurable.-Neio Fork Home Jour 7zaL.

Moonlight CT Morningl
GILLETTE NJ. A. WINsLOW.

Feebly light creepeth in al the easement, Doubtful il yet it shall finger or fee, Clasping nights tendrils with dim interlace ment, Waking dull, dreamy wonder in me; Is it the moon, in the wide west delaying, Sending faint, t1ickering farewells ere straying, Or, the first rays for a new days adorning? Ah, drowsy night, is it moonlight or norningf Into my heart shines brightness uncertain- 1 Youths dreams are dim, and the skies over cast,
 Is 1t ghostly hand lifting times curtain, Bringing pale beams from the moon of my
 past? Or fresh joy bursting forth into sweetness, Widening wan life to new days complete
 ness I Golden beams, chasing lost silver with scorn-
 ing,
 Tell me, Oh, love, is it moonlight or mcrningG Softly light stealeth over my spirit,
 Pressing the dusk of drear sorrow away; Is some rare earth-joy returning to cheer it Filling my soul with prayer for delay? Or, far-glimmering gleam of new glory, Passing the light of earth's moon-silvered
 story
 Rays of remote bliss in beautiful warning; Say, watching soul, is it moonlight or morn
