dissimilar to portraits of Mr.. Oscar

smile is peculiarly fascinating. His
eyebrows are black aud heavy, his fore
head is receding, but the lower portion
of his face IS decidedly of a classic cast.
His mouth is large but sbapely. He
wears his hair parted slightly to one

As stable food, nothing Is better and
nothing Is so cheap as good Indian corn,
ana one meal day may safely be of this
grain, either ground or whole. Grind
ing is of less cOuse queuce for poultry
than for the larger ANIMALS, as every bird
carries a complete mill tor this purpose,
and puts IN a new run Of stones az often
as it can get to the ground. A variety
of grain is always acceptable: wheat
screenings, bUckwheat, oats and rye,
the last rather sparingly. Cooked food
is highly relished potatoes or turnips
boiled and mashed with Indian meal,
scalded and fed warm, especially on
frosty mornings. Fowls are fond of
vegetables, eaten raw, and If sugar-beets
or mangels OF turnips are put within
reach, they viii help themselves. For
an appetizer, nothing is better than cab
bage or the tops OF turnIps. Hens never
tire Of cabbage, and q good supply for
winter should always be laid IN. Ami
mai food IN some shape must be fur
nIshei, if you want plenty of eggs.
Shore formers can get tish offtl from the
markets, clans from the banks or min
n0ws from t1e bitches. Skinned milk
is alwaysig order, and meat scraps from
fat frying establishments, sold in large
cakes, aud placed where the hens have
free access to them, are excellent for

THE TWO WISHERS.

Cut In the street, this winters day
brawny man is shoveling snow;
Steadily there he works away
With muscular arms and face agloW
Glad to earn pittance for pay,
Shoyeing of the snow.
INT, eyes that can only see
The tangible outward, here is one
Who suffers the stings of poverty
Who YEARLY drudges from sun to sun,
Whose shackled hours are never free,
Whose work is never done
For ragged he is, and scantiIv clad.
And one would be willing to hazard the guess
That meat and bread are not to be had
BY him and his in righteousness:
For all his life he has shoyeled through
The drifts Of want and distress
Yet keener vision might detect
some priceless things which belong to him;
Muscles Of iron, form erect,
An eye that Is never glazed or dim
And the rich, hot blood Of perfect health
Coursing through body and limb.
Now, across the street from the sboyeIer stands
stately mansion, built OF stone,
And there, in the window, with folded hands,
pale-faced man looks out alone
Looks out at the labOrer over the way.
At the snow his shovel has thrown.
Exotic plants in the window bloom,
Shut in by curtains Of finest lace,
And scattered about the spacious room
Are all things which beft the place,
A poor man might subsist year
On the cost OF that Seyres vase.
Resting moment, the shoveler sees
The face in the window across the street
And he thinks " Could live like that at nv ease
With nothing to do and plenty to eat,
With money and servants and all at command,
Then surely would life be SWEET"
And he YEARLY signs as he turns again
To the work unfinished that waits his hands.
But his sigh is echoed in sharper pain
By him who has called it forth, who stands
Watching the laD0rer, while be thinks:
Houses and money and lands
IAN that have ef power or wealth
! would freely give if L could but know
The rarer riches Of strength and health:
Yes, all on the laborer there I'd hestow

Unpleasant on Both Sides.

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.l
As the audience was coming out of one
of our theaters on a rainy night of last
week, an accident occurred which caused
at least one person an agony almost as
great as thatof passing through the val
lev. OF shadows. This was a lady of very
imposing appearance, stately Of mien,
gorgeous of attire and supercihous of
manner toward those who we're unavOid-
ably pushed against her IN the crowd
A busy, bustling little man behind her
undertook to open his umbrella IN the
lobby, so that he might be prepared to
brave the rain when he reached the
street. 1t was no easy thing to do IN
such a mass of people, but he contrived
to turn his umbrella point upward, and
as he neared the open door, proceeded
to open it suddenly. Unfortunately, as
his umbrella extended, it caught her be
meath the coil of hair that adorned the
back of her head. To the horror of the
gentleman, he saw the lady's bonnet and
her entire head of hair mount upward on
the point of his umbrella. There was
agony and remorse on both sides. Apol-
ogies were of no avail. The unhappy
man darted forth into the stormy night
The lady did not wait to replace her
head gear, but disappeared with 1t in
her hand into the gloomy recesses of an
attendant hack.

IN the carriage-makers' convention in
New Haven, Conn, otter the committee
on apprenticeship had reported in favor
of restoring the old system of indentur-
ing apprentices until they reach their
majority, Mr.. John w. Brittons, of New
York, said: "One of the serious wants
of this country and of the trade is good
boys. Our boys are detenorating, as
are our men. The greatest difficulty
that we experience IN New York is that
of getting boys who have brains and are
willing to learn trade thoroughly. The
example of men who have made mil
lions in few years is held up before
our boys in school, and the boys become
inhamed with the notion that they must
make their millions and be able to found
crossroads colleges before they die.
SO they eschew trades and become poor
professionals.
