Backward and Forward.

It has been kindly arranged by the
Author of man and nature that he shall
love the future more than he shall re-
greet the past. When the soul is free to
move and does not know of any gather
ing storm for the morrow, when the
child of earth has health of mind and
body, is not struggling with debt OF
crime, nor is in the tolls of injustice,
then the future is always more smiling
than the past is dark All being in
normal condition the future will always
outweigh the past in the great balances
of excellence. The past is trembling,
dying man; but the future is a strong,
beautiful youth. Nature was thus fash
Toned to induce society to look forward
and draw its inspiration from an adj
vance instead of from desire to halt or
retreat.-Prof DGUid Suing.

A Just CanSe.

During the war, while Gen. Steele
commanded the post at Little Rock. an
old Arkansawyer was drawn up before
the General on the charge of shooting
a soldier.
"Why did you shoot the soldier?" de-
manded Steele
~ had right ter shoot him, Gen
eral."
Odd he insult your wife?"
"Wussen that, General"
''Did he strike you?"
"a heap wussen that"
"What did he do?"
"Why, General, the onery cuss said
that 1 was an uneddycated man. That
was moren 1 could put up with. He
hit my daughter with churn-dasher
and said that my wife was as homely as a
COW, but, General, when he insinewated
agin my college trainin' I couldn't stand
1t no longer, and I lifted him.-Arba11-

Nothing Fit to Eat.

In Lounsbury's life of James Feni-
more Cooper, a good story is told of the
novelist while travelling in the wilder
ness bordering upon the Ontario. The
party to which he belonged came upon
an inn where they were not expected.
The landlord was totally unprepared,
and met them with sorrowful counte-
nance. There was, he assured them,
nothing in the house fit to eat. When
asked what he had that was not fit to
eat, he could only say in reply that he
could furnish them with venison,
pheasant, wild duck and some fresh
fish. To the astonished question of
what better he supposed they could
wish, the landlord meekly replied that
he thought they might have wanted
some salt pork!

New Money Order.

The British postmaster General
proposes q money order measure for
the postal service, which is radical
innovation, not only upon the Post
Office system, but which also threat
ems to have an important influence
upon the banking system and circulat-
ing medium of the country. He pro-
poses that money orders may be sold
at any Post-Otfice in any quantity,
bound in volumes like bankers check
books, and redeemable on presentation
at any Post Office. The orders will
be printed with the words zone shil-
ling" "two shillings and sixpence,H
''fve shillings," and so on in half
crowns till the denomination of
pounds is reached. People DESTROYS
of remitting money will send as many
of these as will make up the sum,
They may fill up the order with the
name Of Post-Office, and the order
will therefore become payable at that
office only; and they may put in the
name of person, and then only the
person named can get the money; OF
they may leave the order blank, and
thereupon the person receiving it can
pass it to another person. thus making
1t virtually money. The objections
made to the plan by the British jour
mails are: Danger of forgery that it
will increase the temptations to steal
on the parts OF clerks and letter-car-
riers; that there is want of elastic
ity In the system on account of the
absence of small fractional parts of
shillings and pounds, SO much used
in Great Britain; and that it will tend
to expand the circulating medium of
the country.
The banks and monied institutions
that now gain large share of profits
from exchange will undoubtedly OBJ
pose this new scheme, as it will GER
tainly cut of large percentage of
their present revenue, but the adYant-
ages TO the masses will certainly coun-
terbalance all the evils in this direc-
ton, ana England will gain as much
honor in Introducing this novel feat

WOISeIey'S Ideal Soldier,

"What do you think are the most es-
sential qualities of soldier and an
army, Sir Garnet?"
Esprit de corps and pride. A SOL
der should be proud of his profession,
and he should have the greatest inter-
est and feeling for his individual COM
mand. He should be dressed well.
Even should he incline toward dandy
ism that should be encouraged. The
better you dress soldier the more
highly he will be thoughtof by women,
and consequently by himself. The
duke of Wellington said of his officers
in Spain that many of the best men
were the greatest dandies. Men in the
campaigns of the past used to pride
themselves on being slovenly. To be
unshaved and dirty was supposed to be
the sign of good officer. The spirit
ran like wildfre among the army.
Whatever the officers think fine the
men will think so, too. It is very diff
cult to make an Englishman at any
time look like soldier. He is fond of
longish hair and uncut whiskers. In
the field no person should wear his hair
over have an inch in lenght. 1t should
never be long enough to part. No man
can have smart hearing who can part
his hair. Hair is the glory of woman,
but the shame of a man. Men who
have never worn boards are apt to
think that to wear one saves q good
deal of trouble. 1t does so if you do
not clean it, but to wear long one and
keep it clean demands more time and
trouble than shaving. On service dis
cipline deteriorates when but little at
tention is paid to dress, and when the
men wear almost what they like.

A Few Minutes in the Dublin Exposition

The Dublin Exposition is in a sort of
small crystal palace on the upper part
of Sackville street. There is one large
and long hall, with arched glass roof
and galleries all round. At one end is
large organ and place fer an orches-
ira. From the centre of this main hall.
another extends at right angles like the
letter t. Many banners are on the in
ner walls, but the flag of England finds
no place there. In the very center
hangs an immense extent of bunting
the familiar Stars and Stripes. The
others are mostly flags with harps on
them, OF the sunburst or the shamrock.
An offshoOt of the main hall is devoted
to machinery, a gigantic locomotive,
built in Ireland, being a conspicuous
object. A stranger is struck by the
evident attempt tie exclude everything
British. All the cards attached to arti-
cles had printed instructions for exhib-
itors to state whether all or part of the
article was a product of that island.
Above the machinery hall is picture
gallery and large portrait of the
Queen, taken when she was much
younger than she is now, occupies the
place of honor at the end of the hall,
but among modern paintings the largest
and most conspicuous is one of Mr..
Gray, the lately imprisoned editor of
the FTeenG21's Journal. There are
many unexpected hooks around the ex-
hibition building. Just as you think
you are through with it you stumble on
some passage that leads, perhaps, to
the rotundas, where, in couple of cir
cular rooms, are more paintings, and
further on Irish-made furniture. In
the main hall are number of flags
in glass cases lent by Mr.. ParneIl.
These flags were used in some of the
early risings in Ireland, and their tat
tered folds are eloquent protests against
the folly of early rising. At the end of
this hall, also in glass case, is the first
number printed of the Dublin Free
mans Joar7aal, dated September 10,
1853. In its article, introducing itself
to the public, it said, over one hundred
years ago: "The quick and afluent

Origin OF Blue Grass.
BrecdorS, GnzeLtc,

The names Kentucky blue grass and juno
grass are indifferently applied to a variety of
the poas There is no authentic information
that the grass was originally distributed
from Kentucky. On the contrary, it seems
to be fact that the seeds were carried by the
Kentucky cavalry of General Harrison on
their return to Kentucky, after the sue
cessful campaign against the Indians, in
which their savage power was broken in the
west. The grass was found growing in
dense pastures in Central Indiana, furnishing
forage for the horses after all other grass was
killed, and undoubtedly contributed to the
success of Harrison's campaign. 1t is in fact
one of the most widely distributed of any of
the natural grasses of the United States,
wherever calcareous, firm, sandy soils are
found. From the fact that, as a rule, the
soils Of the west contain plenty of lime, it is
ono of the best grasses for cultivation in all
soils not liable to heave, and is indigenous
from Tennessee and kentucky north The
old fiat staked poa takes its place, and is
found growing with it in the north This
fiat stalSed poa is indigenous TO lighter soils
than kentucky blue grass, or green mead ow
grass, as il is indtlerently called.

Manner OF eating.

Let us suppose a well-cooked meal on
the table (Which will hardly admit Of
any fried meat, by the way), and the
family seated, it may be a question how
to dispose Of it. The American FASH
ion is generally to get through it as soon
as possible, to save time. This Is
another economical error. Food eaten
slowly and well masticated, Is less like
ly to produce temporary indigestion, or
permanent dyspepsia than when eaten
rapidly, or bOlted, as the saying is
Moreover, a smaller quantity Of food
eaton oloWly, actually nnnrishes the
system more than a larger quantity
eaten with undue haste and lnsuffi-
ciently masticated.
There is rational mien between loI-
tering over meals ard eating tuo hastily
or bolting, which should always be OBJ
served. Very often q man hurrles too
much to get back TO his business, or
his children are hurried to get to school.
This is all wrong. Meals should be
taken regularly and deliberately,
neither feastlng in tho sense of over
feeding, nor fasting, is commendable
under ordinary circumstances. Indeed
either is apt to entail the other as a
common sequence. Children should
never have long intervals between the
times Of taking meals or food. Their
| digestion is more rapid than that Of
adults.
The process Of digestion is, or ought
to be, accomplished usually in from
four to six hours;and this accomplished,
Nature calls, for new supply, and her
demands should be duly respected. No
man can do his work effectively either
mental or physical, withou. a sufficient
supply Of food, abundant in quantity
and good in quality; but when he has
enough he ought to stop. Enough Is
as good as feast, it Is said, and more
than enough Is sure to bring penalties.
Remote disease surely, and sometimes
sudden death Is the result Of overload
ing the stomach.
