SHARES.

Ny home is humble, neat and plain,
No servant rules my small domain:
1t is my JOY to serve my own,
And let their love my labors crown.
Ny neighbours home is rich and grand
With Injuries from every land;
Her carriage stands before her gate,
And servants at her bidding wait.
Yet oft she comes to sit with me,
And seek my ready sympathy
For cares that hold her heart in thrall,
And griefs she does not tell to all.
In many ways we blend our lives;
often share her carriage drives,
Or feast my beauty-lOying heart
Amid her treasured gems of art.
often sit beside her board
With costly dainties richly stored,
Where silver bright and china rare
And choicest flowers are grouped with care
share the pleasures Of her wealth
Without the cares that mar her health,
And love my friend, yet envy not
The wealth and splendOr of her lot.
She takes a cup of fragrant tea
And eats a simple roll with me.
And says her rich and varied food
Has never tasted half SO good.
She shares the peacefdlness and rest
With which my lOwly home Is blest,
Without the close economies
That i'm my daily tolls arise.
The busy years go crOwding by,
And still my wealthy friend and
In ono another's blessings share,
And tighten each the others care.

For Young Readers.
CRADLE SONG.

SWING the cradle to and fro,
Rocking softly, rocking slow:
As the child It pillows seems
Then behold, wide open flies
AN ct once the baby's eyes!
What shall mother do to keep
Sleepy little eyes asleepf
Droop the rose-leaf eyelids, but
Kisses will not keep them shut:
Into mine laugh baby's eyes,
o, 50 rOguish and 90 wise!
So flower at break Of day
Shakes the spell of sleep away.
What shall mother do to make
Slumber come, my wide-awake?
. Sleep, my baby, sleep and rest;
Little birds in the warm nest
Sleep beneath their mothers wing.
Do they dream of anything?
OF the rose or Of the rain,
OF the moons that wax and wane,
Summers SUMS or winters snowS7
All, my baby, no one knows.
Sleep, my baby, dream and rest,
Cuddled in your cradle nest,
while drop warm kisses in
Dimples deep on cheek and chin.
Just for kisses, baby dear,
Nothing else are dimplcs here.
Mother'n be bee to sip
Honey from her baby'S lin:
With hfe's riddle all unguessed,
Sleep, my little one, and rest,
Sleep and rest.

The TOOthache.

A man with a full and carefully sc.
lected stock of tOothache on hand is
like that unpopular individual described
by Shakespeare who hath no music in
his soul and is fit for riots, ructions,
dynamite plots, ed-handed conspiracies
and war. He is a bad man from Bitter
Greek, a terror to the household, and
ready to kick pet dog clear across the
front yard, or drown cat. Still there
is nameless charm about a well-de-
veloped case of the tOothache. The
reason it is nameless is because we dis
like to throw rcd-hot profanity into cold
type. 1t is not relished by the great
and seething tide of humanity to whom
these stainless pages come like sooth.
ing balm-a benson of peace. We could
say things about the toOthache which
would crack crockery and dry up the
Colorado River.
But in spite of all this, there is con-
siderable humOr floating around the
country. As long ago as 1850, man
struggling with the toothaehe went to
young and enthusiastic dentist, who
was trying to establish himself in prac,
tice. That was before the days OF
laug hing gas, and the jOurneyman snag-
snatcher put his tongs on to the jump
ing tooth, gave it twist, and said:
'.Does it feel any better? I've got it
half way out"
Another old manipulation of bicus-
pids and mOlars crept up on tiptOe to
his shivering victim, and in an oily tone
desired him to fix his mind on some
thing else while he extracted the tooth.
A close-fsted chap from one of the
back counties, whose election returns
are so slow coming into headquarters
that they seldom make any material diff
ference in the result, once walked into
the Office of city dentist, and said he
guessed he have atooth out, just for a
change. The skillful artist commenced
a careful reconnaissance, and while the
patient was bracing himself for the first
round. the dentist tipped the tooth out
into the washbowl as slick as you please
and as painless as eating strawberry
shOrt-cake.
What did you do that for?' inquired
the patient.
"Do what?''
..Why didn't you rassel with me?''
81 never rassel. quietly observed the
artist
whats the damaged
1.-TWO dollars"
1.-TWO dollars! Gosh all hemlock,
man! Why, down in our town our
home dentist pulled me all around the
room for . half hour or so. and he only
charged me four bits. You didn't earn
no two dollars"
There is no end Of humor connected
with the toothache, but space forbids
further attention 70 its extremely
ludicrous character. The only sure
cure for the toothache which occurs to
us Just now is to have your teeth fixed
so that You can put them to sleep at
night in glass of cold water.-Ieras

This explanation was satisfactory to
all expect joint was lie which he
had been working up all the forenoon
for this occasion. He felt bad over it.,
yet it seemed fitting conclusion for the
blunders of the day-how else could he
conceal what for the world he would
not have any one but himself know?
That afternoon he was in anything but
good humor. In the bayfield, he
worked by-himself as much as possible
He seemed to have a special ill-feel-
ing towards his dogs; if one of them
came up to him, no matterhow friendly,
he was sure to get a rap over the back
with the hay-fork that sent him away
bowling. The relationship that existed
between Mary and the other John was
a question that now troubled him.
Yesterday he was of the opinion that
he could have her for the asking, and
now it seemed evident that she already
belonged to some one. The loss, or the
danger of losing her. made him realize
how much he loved her, and like
many another man, under like circum-
stances, he was willing to overlook de-
fects.
Domestic abilities!" said he. What
do I care about her domestic abilities?
I will have Mary johnson if she
doesn't know enough to bake a loaf of
bread!''
That afternoon he made resolution.
Tomorrow evening"" said he, Il
will go over and tell her frankly
how much love her, and ask her TO be
mine
The next evening John drove up to
Johnson's door. Mary came out to
greet him, and gave him her usual

A Few of the Planets Which May be
Seen this Month.

4 stellar contributor says that it will
be an interesting study to note the
rising of the morning stars during July,
as they appear one after another above
the horizon. Neptune is first Of the i've
and rose on the first at 1:3O a. m. On the
31st he rises about 1880 p. m. Mars Is
morning star and will be in conjunction
with Saturn on the morning Of the both,
both planets rising that morning soon
after a. m. Saturn is morning star, and
will take on a more splendid appearance
at his coming opposition than he has done
for nearly thirty wears. His widely open
rings. his high northern declination and
his approaching periheliOn form specially
favorable conditions for observation.
These conditions viii eliminate In $3.50.
Saturn rose on the first at about 2:3O
O'Clock in the morning; on the DIST ne
rises at l. 80 O'Clock.
Venus is morning star. The interesting
incidents In her progress are her near VI
cinitv to Mercury in the hrst part OF the
month. and her near vicinity to Jupiter
in the last part of the month. Venus was
in conjunction with Mercury on the sd at
II D. m. and on the oth at II p. m. She
rose on the 1st few minutes after 3 a. m,
and rises on the 3lst at 3:45 a. m. Mer-
curry is morning star until the 18th and
evening star the rest of the month, end
ing his career as morning star at p. m,
in superior conjunction with the sun. On
the Goth. at a. m, Mercury is in con-
junction with Jupiter. Mercury rose on
the 1st about a quarter after . O'CLOCK IN
the morning; on the 3lst he sets at 80
O'Clock in the evening.
Jupiter was evening star until the 9TH,
and morning star for the rest of the
month. The giant planet is busy men,
Der of the solar community during July,
as a chief actor in four of its principal in
cidents. He is in conjunction with the
sun, in conjunction with the moon, in
conjunction with Mercury, and in con-
junction with Venus. On the 9th, at 10
/ O'Clock in the morning, he was in con-
/ junction with the sun, one of the grand
epochs of his course. He rose and went
down with the sun, was entirely hid
den in his rays, passing behind him, and,
after conjunction. appearing on his west
ern side. He then commenced his course
as morning star, and before the month
closes will be visible in the northeast
shortly before sunrise. Jupiter went
down on the 1st, shortly after 80 O'Clock
in the evening; on the 31st, he rises not
far from $3.50 O'Clock in the morning.
Uranus is evening star. Uranus went
down on the LIST at II o'clock in the even

Colonel W. J. VIM, the contractor for
the work now being done on Hutchinsouls
Island, has completed nearly a mile Of the
banks, and expects to finish his contract
in about six weeks. The entertainments
begin in the rear of Kinsey's saw mill,
nearly opposite the foot of West Broad
street, and extend in nOrtherly direction
to Back river, and then eastwardly along
that river to the end Of the island. The
work to this point was done last winter
and spring under the Cahill contract.
Colonel Winn's contract begins at the
northeast end and extends along the
east side and the old Fig Island
channel. and thence along the
back line Of wharf lots opposite the city
to a junction with the work done under
the Cahill contract. The dam is COM
pleted to the dry dock property. The
dams have been widened and raised an
average of two feet higher than they
were previous to the gale of 1881, and the
entire work is about four miles in length,
and is Of the most substantial kind, and
apparently high enough and strong enough
to resist auV flood or storm.
