HE WASN'T HER PA.

A young woman went to the sta
ton to meet her father. As the
train came in she saw a middle aged
man who resembled her parental rel
atlve, and she rushed into his arms,
cuddled~down on his bosom, kissed
him on the mouth, the ear, the chin
and all over his patent celluloid. 1t
was not her father, but middle aged
traveller for a tobacco house. He
took a long breath and looked around
at some other travellers and winked,
as much as to say, 'sOh, I'm such a
masher...'
Of course the scene could not last
forever, though he wished it could.
After spasmodic hug she looked
up into his face and shrieked:
"You are not my pa!''
He said she was right.
She asked his pardon and he told
| her not to mention it.
"We public men should always
hold ourselves in readiness to sup
port those who need it,
She smiled sweet, sad, blushing
smile, and went out into the wide
world, while the traveller walked to
the hotel with the others. They ask
ed him if it did not make him feel
ashamed to have such a mistake
made, and he said no, it was all
right. He said of course it might
look queer, but those things OCCUR
red very often with him, as they
would occur with any fine looking
man. Besides the girl probably en-
joyed it.
Then they asked him why he did
not wear his diamond breastpin on
such trying occasions. He looked
at his shirt front, and the pin was
gone. While he had been allowing
her to play the daughter she had
burglarized his shirt.
He tainted, and when they brought
him to he said:
"Tell my family | died with my
face to the foe."
Idleness is hard work TO those who
are not used to it, and dull work to
those who are.

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW


If there comes some joy to me-,
Would you have me stay
With that JOY, TO sweeten life?
Eyes. Heart, stay. to-dayl''
Well, then, if I have dream -
OF some coming sorrow,
~ ShallIswait to feeFits fear?
ssThat will do tomorrow
If unto some loving heart
I've a debt to pay?
'.Ah! that is mighty debt
Pay it, Heart, today
If I'm forced from bitter wrongs
Cruel words to borrow?
'.Then, dear Heart there is no haste,
Keep them till tomorrow" -
Duty, Kindness and Success
Lose by slow delay;
Duty hath double right
When it claims to-day.
Kindness dies if it must wait;
Success viii not stay
Unto them comes no tomorrow
If they lose tc day.
But for Debt and Doubt and Anger,
But for useless Sorrow,
Better you should wait day;
- Keep-tliem for to o-norrow.
Anassis every days to-day.
You may patience borrow
Thus forever to put off
Such bad tomorrow.

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

The year 1884, which is the Presidential year,
will be one great interest. While the Journal is
known as the leading Republican Newspaper of
New England it never fails TO give full reports of
the leading features of the campaign presented
by both parties.
No one need plead ignorance of what is taking
place on account of the cost for the Boston Weekly
journal has proved in the past and will continue to
be, great educator of the people of New England.
We point with qualification to the following opin-
ions of the Journal:
The Journal is a clean paper, and there is never
anything in its columns that can offend good taste
corrupt the morals of the young; at the same time
it is fully abreast of the times in everything that
pertains to irstclass journalism.-BOston Courier.
The Boston Journal is a credit to our journalism.
Its tone is high its conduct is able, its is fresh,
its telegraphic dispatches admirable well as
strictly reiable-BoSton Gazette.
The journal is a candid consistent, able and en-
terprising newspaper. Boston Chimes.
To great business sagacity in its management, the
journal adds a scrupulous regard for what is whole
some and manly in journalism The influence of a
great newspaper is far reaching, especially upon
society and in the home, and the reading public owe
it to themselves to discriminate in favor of
paper of the abounding enterprise and high charac-
ter of the Journal-NdShud Telegraph.
The Journals prosperity, which is of substantial
character, has been well earned by honest dealing
with the public. 1t is in its fiftieth volume more
vigorous than Philadelphia Leader
The Journal is one of the ablest and brightest
papers in New England, and its splendid success is
the best kind of a compliment to the discriminating
judgment of its consttuency-Philadelp Press.

The New Postage stamp.

The Postoflice Department has agreed
upon the design for the new 2-cent post
age stamp for first-class matter, and the
work of printing for distribution and
sale will shortly be begun. A medallion
Of Washington in panel is the most
prominent feature, and half round the
top the words ~. s. Postage are placed.
This is departure from the present
system, when the initials ~. S. are used.
At the lower portion of the stamp the
words "twO cents" are situated, divided
by the figure two. The design is con-
spicuous for its plainness, and there is an
absence of any decoration not in keeping
with the subject. The.likeness of WASH
ingtOn has been pronounced perfect by
all who have seen 1t, and it is copy Of
the painting in the east room of the
Presidents house.

NOAH,s FOUND.

A company has been formed 10 drag the
Red sea for the purpose Of bringing up char
lot wheels and other remains left when Pha-
raoh's host was overwhelmed there. This
COMPANY is behind, however, for q CONSTANT
nople paper announces the discovery Of
Noah's ark. ATurkish commission, appoint
ed to investigate the svalsnches on Mount
Ararat, in the course of their researches
came upon a gigantic structure Of wood, one
end of which was found projecting from a
a glacier. Inquiries among the inhabitants
revealed thai its existence had been known
for six years, but the appear nce OF a spirit
of fierce aspect looking out OF the upper win
dow had prevented them approaching it.
The commissioners, after incredible toll,
reached il. 1t was in wonderful preservs-
ton, but the angles were a good deal
broken. An Englishman Of the party
found that it was made Of gopher
wood, trees OF which grow on the plains OF
the Euphrates. The ark was painted brown
a particular the sacred narrative omitted 10
record. The interior was divided into parti-
tions fifteen feet in hight, three only of which
could be entered; the others were full Of ice.
How far the ark extends within the glacier
it has not yet been possible to ascertain. OF
course the people of the neighboring country
are greatly excited by the discovery, and the
results OF further investigation are awaited
with impatieEce. The preservation of this
interesting object is another proof of the
power of ice to retain the existence of organ
lied matter, a property that enables America
and Australia to send fresh meat to Europe
at the present day.

FOREST

The rapid strides American forests are
making toward extinction IS arousing the
fears of the agriculturist and the pride OF the
patriot. The one does not like to- see his
lands overwhelmed with foods at one por-
ton Of the year and robbed Of the rains al
another, nor does the other like to see the
hillsides of his native land robbed of their
garb and their submits of their regal crown.
The protection of the forests was the
theme of the Minnesota Convention, and we
are glad to hear that our Canadian neigh
bors are awake upon the same subject. A
communication that we have received from
London informs us that Mr.. Wm. Little, Of
Montreal, au authority that has made the
subject Of American forestry a life study, has
written an important article upon the sub
iect, which will appear in this months num-
Der of the London Forestry magazine. 1t is
upon "The Alarming Destruction OF Ameri-
can Forests" which, the writer says, "at the
present reckless and wanton rate of cutting,
will be entirely denuded Of their merchant
able yellow pine in seven year," 1t Is time
the whole country was aroused upon this
question.

about their proficiency in handling firearms
