Kicked Him, but Gould Not Insult Him.
That man to whom you sent me, in
suited me, said q young drummer, who
had only been few months in the bus
iness, to his trainer ina large house in
this city. ttt' .'5.s.. .4'''1 'a
..Insulted you," reiterated the train.
er, with an expression of contempt al
most sufficient to make the novice sink
into the floor.
Were you never insultedp" timidly
responded the young man.
'Never, sir; not even during the per-
iod of my novitiate, which / passed
through very rapidly, and have been
twenty years in the business.
THAT is very strange" said the novice
skeptically.
Every strange if you don't under
stand it, ferociously observed the old
drummer. II have been often badly
abused. / have been ordered peremp-
torily to leave the premises. l have
been frequently knocked down for stand
ing on the order of my going, and sew
eral times have been unceremoniously
kicked down stairs; but,," he continued,
gazing fiercely and triumphantly at the
young man, II have never been insult
ed. The moment drummer feels him
self insulted he is no longer fit for the
business. IN. Y. Star. et

A Word for tbs Boys on Change.

A country journal, in referring to the
handsome contributions of the members
of the Stock Exchange to the Ohio
Flood Fund, says, ''This is right and
just. After skinning everybody they
could get their hands on, it was but an
act of duty to provide raitnent for their
former victims" This quotation goes
to show that the late Horace Greeley's
idiots are still editing some of the
country journals. The members of the
Stock Exchange are not engaged in
"skinningn anybody. They are simply
agents, employed as lawyers or doctors
are employed. 1t is of very little con-
sequence to them whether they buy or
whether they SELL Take them all in all,
there is not a brighter, a more intelli-
gent, or more generous body of men
in the world. IN Y. Hour.

oornslin, Vanderbilt. House.

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is In hard
luck. II is great thing to be . Van
derbilt and to have beautiful house Of
your own. But. after all, 1t is happi-
ness not unmixed with drawbacks
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbiltis very proud
of her house. Next to that Of the old
mans 1t is undoubtedly the most beau
tiful Of the Vanderbilt mansions. She
moved In q few months ago and ex-
pressed the utmost delight at her new
residence. Probably none of the family
is SO popular as Cornelius Vanderbilt.
He and his wife are what humble folks
call "home bodies.' He is Superintend-
ent of the Trinity Chapel Sunday-School
and the least affected and most cordial
of all the Vanderbilt tribe. He is also
member Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Mrs. Vanderbilt had
scarcely moved into her new house and
become comfortably settled when she
was Obliged to take up everything and
move out again. The removal was
caused entirely by the ignorance orlack
of foresight of the architect. In build
ing the house q new process for preserv-
ing the planks of the floors was used
The flooring in the entire mansion from
cellar to roof was covered with some
strong smelling stuff which, it was said,
would harden the wood like iron and eff
fectually prevent any shrinking. This
was all well enough until the furnaces
and the great fires in the house were
lighted, when an offensive odor was at
once noticed. 1t increased as the heat
increased, until the house became abso-
lutely uninhabitable. 1t was long
time before they could find out the
cause of the odor, and when they did
consultations were held, but it was
found there was nothing to be done but
to move out, tear up the flooring, and
lay down fresh planks.

Harness is more rapidly injured IN

Harness is more rapidly injured IN
summer than winter. 1t is sometimes
soaked with rain, and again subjected
10 heat and drying. and dthe prespira-
ton Of the horses does no good. It
kept well oiled, all these influences
will cause little injury. There are many
different applications used and differ
ent modes are adopted for employing
them. A common way is first to wash
thoroughly with soap and warm water,
and then to apply neats-foot oil, as the
best known for that purpose.

The Gifts of God,

The lights that fills thy house at morn
Thou canst not for thyself retain;
But all who with thee here are born
It bids to share an equal gain.
The wind that blows thy ship along,
Her swelling sails cannot conflne;
Alike to all the gales belong,
Nor canst thou claim breath as thine.
The earth, the green out-spreading earth,
Why hast thou Fenced 1t OF from me7
Hadst thou than a nOber birth,
Who callest thine gift SO free7

No chains can bind, no letters hOldl

A Big Business in Watermelons.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Truck farming has become during the past
five years one of the most important and re-
munerative industries in Georgia. Mr. Joseph
Taylor general freight agent of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad says: "From re-
liable data furnished it is estimated that the
crop OF melons along the line Of the road will
reach for this season 5000 to $500 carloads"
without counting other points Of culture it is
safe to say that Georgia will produce this wear
6.OOO car loads OF melons or more than 1880, 600
separate melons. The price of melons ranged
In Chicago last year from % to 20 cents Ave-
raging the crop this year at 20 cents, and put
ting $40 melons to the car. each car will be
worth $3.50. This will make the crop worth
81, 100000 This amount Of cash poured into
the state in the middle of the dull summer will
be of incalculable benefit. How to get the crop
to market Is serious problem. The ship
ments winbegin about the middle Of June and
end about the middle of August The bulk Of
must be moved IN forty days. This will give
an average Of $50 cars, or ten solid trains of
fifteen cars each day. The roads will be fire.

DAY. 1t Will take at least seven days for a train
10 reach the markets and return. We may ex-
pect. therefore. to see during the month Of July
100 trains Of fifteen cars each loaded with
Georgia melons, and on the road to and from
market. At the same time cars will be needed
at the melon stations to load for new trips
The facilities of the roads are thought to be
equal to the emergency. The truck and melons
for the eastern markets will find their way
mainly by the ocean routes and the coast lines

What is the use OF this 1mpetuOus haste!
Inc end Is certain. Let US take our time
AND hoard the vital forces that We waste
Before our day has reached its golden prime
what Is the use OF rushing with spent breath
AFTER old age, It's burrows, its white hair?
why need We hurry SO to welcome Death,
Or go half way, with hands stretched out to
Care? w
There is no USE Dear heart If we but wait
All things VIII find US Let us pause I saw
we cannot go beyond the silent gate
That lies short days journey down the way
SO let us take our time In youths fair bowers.
Inc summer season is so brief at best:
Let us look on the SLars and pluck the flowers
And When our feet grow weary, let US rest.
Let us take time for love ana its delight:
1t Is the one sweet thing that pays for all
The bitterness OF life, for Sorrows blight
For Palms despair and Deaths funeral pail
In that lost era when the world was new.
Love was mems first pursuit and life's excuse
NOW mas that time come back to me and you
why SHOULD we seek for more? What is the use?

Wouldst thou be happy liver,

Leave thou to God, who knows what's best.

''What the Traveller Said At Sunset,
The shadows grow and deepen round me;
feel the dew-fall in the air;
The muezzn Of the darkening thicket
hear the night-thruSh call to prayer.
The evening wind is sad with farewells,
And loving hands unclasp from mine:
Alone go to meet the darkness
ACROSS an awful bOundary-line.
AS from the lighted hearths behind me
i pass with slow, reluctant feet,
Wnat waits me In the land of Strangeness?
What face shall smile, what voice shall greet7
What space shall awe, what brightness blind me7
What thunder roll of music stun?
What vast professions sweep before me
VI Shapes unknown beneath the SUM-

dread the myriad-voiced strain;
Give me the unforgotten faces,
And let my lost ones speak again.
He will not chide my mortal yearning
VINO Is our Brother and our Friend,
In whose full life divine and human
The heavenly and the earthly blend
Mine be the joy OF soul-communion,

An endless anthems rise and fall;
No curious eye Is mine to measure
