Having a Competency.

I have a neighbor who is always So
busy that he has no time to laugh; the
whole business of his life is to get
money, more money that he may still
get more. He is still drudging, saying
that Solomon says: "The d1ligent hand
maketh rich" And it is true, indeed,
but he considers not that it is In the
power of riches to make a man happy,
for it was wisely said by man of great
observation ''That there be as many
niseries beyond riches as on this side Of
them" And yet, Heaven deliver us
from pinching poverty and grant that,
having competency, we may be con-
tent and thankful.
Let US not repine, or so much as think
the gifts Of God unequally dealt, if we
see another abound in riches when, as
God knows, the cares that are the keys
that keep those riches hang often so
heavily at the rich mans girdle that they
clog him with weary days and restless
nights. even where others sleep quietly.
We see but the outside of the rich mans
happiness few consider him to be like
the silk worm, that, when she seems to
play, is at the same time spinning her
own bowels and consuming herself. And
this many rich men do, loading them
selves with corroding cares to keep what
they have already got. Let us, there
fore, be thankful for health and compe-
tence, and, above all, for quiet con-
science. -Iz0aE Walton.

NEWSPAPERS.

There are certainly no products of the
arts SO cheap as the newspaper, and it is
difficult to imagine any other thing.
We're it not medium for the commu-
nication of the commercial needs of the
community, which form part of its
income, but are not strictly one of its
journalistic functions, it would be i'm
possible to furnish what it does at the
prices which it gets. That on the whole
it does not pay Like other furnished
products cake, the cigar, the oyster
supper, the ribbon, the laces, the glass
of beer-can only be explained on the
theory once advanced by the English
philosopher who was asked why the
manufacturers of ale were all million
aires, and the authors all poor. "Be-
cause" he replied, "for one man who
has brains, thirty have bowels. DE

The Chick-a.dee and the Eagie-A
Fable.

Once upon time a Chick-a-dee and
an Eagle had nests in the same forest.
The forest was plenty large enough TO,
both, and peace and harmony might
have prevailed but for the jealousy Of
the Chick-a-dee. Having been created
by nature for a small bird, and having
digestive organs for only bugs and
worms, it made him wroth to behold
the Eagle having such spread of wings
and such appetite for large game.
One day after the Chick-a-dee had
put in ten hours hard to work for small
grubs he beheld the majestic Eagle
pounce down and secure in moment a
fish large enough to last him three days.
This capped the climax, and the Chick
a-dee few higher up in the tree to con-
suit the Buzzard as to what could be
done.
ED lie about him, was the advice
of the Suzzard after thinking it over.
The Chick-a-dee therefore flew through
the forest spreading lies and SANDER re-
garding the Eagle, but the results were
not satisfactory. No one seemed to be-
ieve them, and many advised the Chick
a-dee to continue his grubbing and let
other Birds do as pleased them best.
In this emergency the tiny Bird again
appealed to the Buzzard for advice.
The unclean Bird picked his teeth over
the subject and replied
You must go to the Eagle and tell
him what you think Of hnn."
Early the next morning the Chick-a-
dee set out on his mission. Meeting the
Eagle in mid-air he began trade of
abuse, but the Eagle did not seem to
hear. Enraged and e1asperated, the
Chick-a-dee used still stronger language,
but the result was the same.
Say! say! I'm abusing you'll" he final
" called out " I've slandered you,
lied about you, and now I insult you,
and you dare not resent it..
"Little atom" replied the Eagle. as
he slowed up little, if struck by an
Eagle I should strike back. When a
bird OF your size bothers me I cannot
even afford time to stop and eat him.

USEFUL HINTS.

To TAKE fresh paint off wooden gar
ment rub the spots with stale bread I'M
til removed.
LEMONS can be kept sweet and fresh
for months by putting them in clean,
tight cask or jar, and cover with cold
water. The water must be changed as
often as once every other day, and the
cask kept in cool place.
To DESTROY ANTs.-Take carbole
acid diluted with water take one part
acid to ten parts water--and with a
syringe throw this liquid into all the
cracks and holes where they nest, and
ants will soon vanish. Cockroaches are
also driven away by it.
WIEN sewing buttons on children's
clothes where there viii be much strain
on the button, the danger from tearing
the cloth out will be greatly lessened by
putting a small button directly under
the larger outside button. This applies
Of course, only to, buttons with holes
through them.
AN exchange says: "For worms and
flies infesting house plants, several read
ers recommend watering them with lime
water. Close the opening at the bottom
of the pot, fill with lime water and let it
stand for au hour or two, then remove
the plug at the bottom and drain it Off.
IF one application is insufficient, try a
second"
To GIVE beautiful gloss to shirt
bosoms, procure two ounces OF fine
white gum arabic and pound it to pow
der, put it into pitcher and pour on to
it pint or more of boiling water, ac-
cording to the degree of strength you
desire, and then, having covered it, let
it set all night. In the morning pour it
carefully from the dregs into clean
bottle, cork it, and keep it for further
use. A tablespoonful Of gum-water
stirred into pint of starch that has
been made in the usual manner will give
beautiful gloss to shirt bosoms, and to
lawns (either white or printed look of
newness to which nothing else can
restore them after washing. It is also

of laces.

IF there is a man in this country upon
whom the Republicans, in and. out of
Congress, have for years expended their
bitterest wrath and their fiercest denun-
citation, it is James r. Chalmers, of
Mississippi. He has been denounced
constantly by them as the contriver of
the brutal massacre at Fort Pillow. His
name has been used in every Republican
campaign since the close of the civil
war to excite the passionate resentment
of Northern voters.
Mr.. Chalmers recently represented in
Congress the Sixth District of Missis-
sippi, but was ousted by John R.
Lynch, the present colored member.
Many Democrats gave Chalmers the
benefit of their doubts in sustaining his
claim to the seat, while many others be-
lieved that he was not fairly elected,
although he had something of tech
nical case. Chalmers complained loudly
because the Democrats did not filibuster
in order to keep him in his seat. 1t
now appears that at the very time
Chalmers was making this complaint he
was preparing the way for the course he
has since taken.
1t is alleged that as the result of GER
tain negotiations with William E.
Chandler, Chalmers is now candidate
for Congress in the Second District OF
Mississippi against the regular Demo
cratic nominee. and is backed by the
power, the prestige. and the patronage of
the Administration. 1t is said that his
father-in-law, his brother-in-law. and
several of his friends have already been
| appointed to offices. On small scale,
he is playing the part of Malone, and
the Republicans of Mississippi are ex.
pected not only to vote for ''the in
famous hero of Fort Pillow" as they
have been accustomed to describe
Caalmers. but they will be required

done in Philadelphia and New York,
the storm extended as far east
as North Adams, Massachusetts,, and as far

storm extended fifty miles inland from the
coast. Bound Brook, N. j., seems to have
suffered more than any other single
locality perhaps. There bridge after
bridge was swept away, miles of rail
way were washed out, and mills
and dwellings submerged. Three or four
lives were lost, but considering the rapid
