suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
Its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest. make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care ia taken
to Insure somfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut a single change of cars to Iowa,
F,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.

tsges as the Baltimore aud 0hio.--I,s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as we'll as

] will tell thee, nv friend, what poor
Richard says: Employ thy time well
il thou meanest 10 gain leisure; and
since thou art not sure OF a minute,
throw not away an hour Leisure Is
time for doing something useful; this
leisure the diligent man will obtain, but
The law man never; so that, as poor
Richard says, "a life OF leisure and o
life of lsziness are two things" Do
you imagine that sloth will afford you
more comfort than labori No, for as
poor Richard says, Troubles spring
from idleness, and grieyous tolls from
needless ease many without labor would
live by their owH wits only; but they
break for want OF stock" Whereas In
dustry gives comfor, and plenty and re-
specs. Fly pleasures, and they'll fol.
low you; the dlligent spinner has large
shift; and now I have sheep and 6
cow, everybody bids me good-morrow,'

Yesterday morning q stranger might
have been Noticed standing in the rear
of the Mint Watching an old woman
picking up sticks. She must have been
about 30 years of age. Her old calico
wrinkled as tripe and as brown AZ leath-
or. Every time she stopped to pick no
stick she was obliged to do SO with a
painful effort. She raked over the dry
leaves with palsied hand, and all the
worthless little trinkets went into her
basket. A heap of garbage and ashes
occupied her attention for some ten
minutes. The man who was watching
her finally walked up from behind her
and dropped dollar in her basket and
then stole away uRnoticed. An attache
of the Mint, who was near, hailed him
as he passed:

Not much has been heard about the
approaching comet of late, but the as
trOu0mers have had their telescopes
trained upon it, Watching its every mo-
ton, and have concluded that it will be
in perihelion on January %. when il
will Re about two-thirds as far from the
earth as the san is. According to their
calculations, it will not be visible to the
naked eye for six or eight weeks vet,
bat il has already had one sudden and
fifteen times in brilliancy in two OF
three days, and nobody can tell what it
may do in the spectacular line. II ia
pretty certain now that it will, at least.
be much more brilliant object than il
was in 1872. Although it will not pre-
sent as distinguished an appearance az
the great comet Of 1882, it will probably
be seen by more persons, because 1t will
DO visible in the evening sky, while the
dazzler of last year was morning
comet. since the great outburst Of
light and increase in size last month, il
has behaved like an ordinary comet,
and nov has very modest tail and an
uncertain sort of head that seems to be
envsloped in mist. Nobody has yet dis
covered what happened to It whom il
blazed up SO suddenly. The suggestion
that il had collision with an asteroid,
or some other small celestial body,
furnishes an explanation Of the appear
anoe presented, but no indications OF
such an accident has bsen detected in
the subsequent motions Of the comet.
II will be at nearly it's greatest bright
nea during the holidays, and viii furn-
lah . singular Christmas and New
Years spectacle. II ID not often that
the sun has such New Years caller
from the depths Of space.
