Ministerial Gush.

~ - L"L@
Nashville Banner. s.-ss
We have often Wondered where
girls got their "gush' and skilling''
expressions of sweetness. Recent
ly hearing a conversation between
a lot of preachers and a crowd OF
women, we have concluded that it
all originates with the former.
"My dearly loved sister, said one
big fellow who weighed at least
two hundred, cit is most pleasant
and exceedingly sweet for meto
again be in this.place May our.
hearts beat warmly for one anoth>
er OH this glorious occasion aud
may our souls be annointed with
the delicious oils Of retrieving
grace" Those were some of his
expressions IS we caught them I'D
the great noise of that most joys
GUS meeting and animated greet
ing. It is a real. pleasure to see
preachers take a deep interest in
the ladies-asi we'll as Christians
and sinners-but this "sister'' and
"brother"a business, this covering
one another all over with super>
latively sickening adjectives, be-
cause of the relationship as church
members, is justia little too much
for any, weak stomach.

the late Commissioner G. Pensions,
Mr.. Bentley, has declared that the

sion office, year by year, average
twenty per cent, ofthe allowances.
This statement vas corroborated
by a Senate Committee after a
thorough Investigation of the SUBJ

the worse than wasting of millions
Of dollars Of the peoples money
every year, we are constrained to
repeat-at the risk Of offending
our republican contemporary
ithat the biggest fraud now per,

the pension swindle. The Repub-

Practical suggestions as 70 their Con-

StftctlOn 0iu OdICu
The fish commissioner Of Iowa
makes the following suggestions
respecting the constructions of
ponds; For a saltwater winters
ing pond, the deeper a portion of
it is the better. If there be plenty
ofmud in the bottom Of the ponds
in which the carp a bury itself
during its period of Information,
or winter sleep, a depth OF five
feet might answer and bring them
safety. But a greater depth would
please me much better, 1fspTing
water can be run steadily into the
ponds during the winter the depth
is of much less Importance: In
draining ponds great care should
be taken to have it done slowly.
so that the fish may not be to
much frightened to gather in deeps
er portions. They are quite likely
to bury themselves in the mud OF
any part of the bottom when they
take, a sudden alarm, and might
be left there to smother and die.
The location and form Of ponds
should be such as to. add to the
beauty of the surroundings. and to
the convenience aud pleasure of
the owners. They may be needed
to supply ice, or if stock be kept
they may be useful as q reservoir
to supply water. OF course these
points are to tie settled by those
Who plan them, and their great
Importance should not be owes
looked. Carp can be kept and fed
and made to grow rapidly in res
ervoirs. tanks, small ponds, or 9th :
err small bodies of water during
the summer that would not be safe
from freezing during winter. Aud
they are often SO kept in the old
countries. Stock fish for. such q
purpose would have to he procured
annually from some carp-breeder.
MI. L. Jones, of Russell, Iowa,
contributes to the Homestead the
following: l have had a little ex-
perience with German carp that
might be interesting to some of
your readers. 1t as follows: On
the 10Th day Of last April | placed
in a small pond, 16 feet in diane
ter and 1 foot deep, three German
carp five inches long that had
been wintered in the house, and
were consequently in very poor
condition. The Goth day of Au-
gust I drew off the water to see
my little fish, and found they were
12 inches long, and would weigh
from a pound to a pound aanda,
half. Their principal food during
the time they were in the pond
was siieaf oats. On the last day
of April. 1888, [ procured from the
United States fish commissioner
twenty small German leather carp,
VARYING from an inch and a. half
to two inches and a halfin length.
These were placed in a pond OF
about one-fo-,rth Of au acre III ex-
tent and eight feet deep. They
are as large now, if not larger,
than those in the smaller pond.
Think of it! A growth of ten inch
es in three months on a scant
diet of sheaf oats. l have not
commenced feeding them regular
ly on scraps from the table, such
as cold potatoes: boiled corn, bak>
cd beans, etc. When the scraps
are thrown into the water the fish
fight oyer them lihe pigs: They
will have two months yet to grow
winter, when they will
push themselves among the ferns
on the bottom of the pond, and
lie dormant until spring. l be-
in ten years every farmer
will have his carp pond to raise
fish for his own tale.

THE CRY OF THE DouBIER.

ora Perry in The Manhattan for Nov.
If we could go some day
Before Age claims us for his prey,
Drop out of all this strife
That we call life,
And without coward fears,
Or fainting flesh, or wasting tears,
Find suddenly the land
OF all our dreams, and stand
There, face to face with treasure lost,
The friends whose dread departure cost
Our souls such sore distress,
Such agonies of wretchedness,-
If we could go ike this,
With consciousness Of bliss
Set before us, who would stay
To linger on the way
Through weary year by year
Till the time was ripe and sere,
With length of days and loss?
But set upon the cross
o mystery and pain
We wait and wait again,
Perhaps through threescore years
OF doubling hopes and fears,
And at the end we say,
"Ah, what a little day
Ofjoy is life, and long, oh long,
The day of pain" Then from the throng
we uIOp AWAY, VII ~ "oS ~v. ~
Bending above our clay M cry
AS we nave cried, "Why should we wal
like this
In darkness and In doubt; why miss
SO much of life in wasting pain7"
Oh mystery of loss and gain,
Behind your veil what answer lies?
Is it some splendor of surprise
That consciousness might here defeat
Some joy too high for us to meet
One monsent oven, face to fuce,
While thus within earth's duh embrace
The letters of the flesh we stand?
Are we upon the border land
OF greater life thus blindly driven,
Lest if some sudden glimpse were given
OF that near Heaven we could not stay
To wait upon Times slow delay,
But in some moment rash might break
The bond of flesh and boldly take
Both law and life in eager hands
To reach tina glory, far, yet near,
That we had glimpsed-that radient sphere
That old the payment Of all pain7
oh. mystery of loss and gain,
Is this the meaning of 1t all
The doubts, the darkness and the pail
That shuts us in? o Christ! o God!
If once you rolled away the sod
And lifted death to life for eyes
OF earth-if once that high surprise
Youd dared to givc-for us once moro
Who Ianguish on this barren shore
OF doubling times, whose blighting bale
Has girt us round, lift up the veil,
Roll back the sod, and give us grace
To look beyond this narrow space!

Winter Fashions.

EBy Cable to n. Y. Herald.
LONDON, Oct 1.-THE ways of
fashion are inscrutable. Paris,
usually famous for good taste,
threatens this winter to revive
some of the most eccentric fashions
of other days. Ladies may expect
a resuscitation of the stiff, breca-
ded and quilted skirts. which de-
lighted,the court of good Queen
Anne, while the newest coloE IN
vented borrows the sad tint of
London smoke, and is called fumee
de Londres. 1t is described by
rhapsodists as q warm, deep tone
of gray, such as crowns the hills
on a rainy morning. Worth. has
lust turned out a marvellous dinner
dress of this unpromising shade.
Mauve, violet aud geranium red
are likely to be nearly as fashion
able as fumee de Londres, oSpec-
tally the peculiarly deep violet tint
known as eveque. ~
Both in Paris and in London the
most expensive materials will lie
worn for bonnets and mantels.
Chenille flowers Stimulating nature
aud velvet leaves are much in Ia
vor. Rich brocaded m%antels, ems
broidered with . shaded silks Is
rather stiff, mathematical designs,
are all the rage in London, which
has discarded the frivolous fash>
ions so popular this summer. The
French, after long deuouncing Ill
sters as hideous, have graciOusly
adopted them and are doing their
best to improve them by judicious
shapes aud trimming. One of the
most effective listers is of genuine
red, trimmed around the edges
with four rows of narro ribbon
velvet of the same color, and sur
mounted by q small Cape reaching
to the elbows. Fur and teath>
ers will be much used as trims
mings. Winter coats aud whole
capes made of dark brown mara>
bout are very fashionable. Skunk
and bear skins arc very popular.
with those who can afford them.
Poorer folks will cling to cat and
and rabbit skins.
