"A young man boosted that he had well

glad to hear it, and asked him where his
mind was stored.

woman, as she was quarrelling with neigh
bor.' You couldn't get in Them" sarcasli-
cally remarked the neighbor.
-"Bridgct really can't allow you TO re-
ceive your sweetheart in the kitchen any

asked the skiliul barbOr, as he finished cutting
his customers hair 81 like the side and back"
was the response; "but | wish you would
make it little longer on top"
Some people find it easy to excuse them
selves for being rude by saying, 90 that's
my way, that's ALL" One of this ilk used the
words we have quoted to Sir Richard Jebb,
who pointed to the door and replied, "Then,
sir, beg you to make that your way"

Weeds.

In harvesting Indian corn and wheat, we
cut them long before the gran-thc seed, is
ripe. When the grain in either is fully form
ed, the stalks are cut; experience has shown
that the ripening process goes on; the stalks
contain sufficient nutriment To perfect the
grain, and it does this after the plant is cut
away from the root. Indeed, the grain thus
treated, often comes to greater perfection
then if the plant were left until the seed is
fully ripe, What takes place with these crop
plants, also occurs with weeds. Many weeds,
ifcut up while in flower, still have nutriment
enough in their stems and leaves Ia perfect
and ripen II crop of seeds. 1t therefore hap
pens that the mere cutting up OF many weeds,
and leaving them to dry upon the ground,
does little towards their determination. The
common pursane--or "pussley," for exam
pie, has remarkable vitality, IFS very succu-
lent stems will remain alive for weeks, and
even continue to grow after they have been
deprived of the root. II is one thing to cutup
weeds with the hoe; it is equally important
and il should always he done in gardens, to
gather up the weeds by the use of n rake, and
carry them TO II brush heap, where they will
ultimately be burned

Had n Weak Point.

One OF these good oldiashoned fathers
born and reared on n farm, but willing to see
his children live an easier life, came down to
york" the other day, to see about getting
his son Moses into Il bank. He went TO II
friend, and the friend sent him to the cashier,
and the cashier said:
us your son quick at fgures?'
"Tolerably quick"
as he ambitious
Yes; he wants to get on"
as he hard wGrker?"
"Wcll, Moses kin NOW his three acres of
grass per day"
why does he prefer bank to slorr?"
81 swan never asked him why, but
guess it's because he thinks there's II better
chance to climb up. Moses is right ON the
climb"
"lle is perfectly honest, of course ?"
"Well, now, that's the only weak point
Moses has got, and | was going to say to you
il you took him in that ifyou keep wire
fence between Moses and any money lying
around loose, and if you have IL rule again
boss trading, and it, you don't allow shaking
dice or cardplaying, and fhe will keep sober
Moses will make one otthe most tremendous

Smuggins was terribly noscy old fellow,
who generally managed to learn all that was
worth knowing about other peoples business.
Finally II new man named Smith moved into
the vicinity, who had the tact to keep his
affairs to himself, much to the annoyance of
the village gossips. This was II bitter dose
To Smuggins, who determined TO get the de-
sired information Accordingly, he one day
came very contidcntally to MIR, Smith, and
in his most insnuatng manner:
81 am often asked what business it is that
takes you so frequently to Harrisburg, and
have not been able 10 answer the question;
perhaps you will tell me what reply 10

Certainly replied Mr. Smith, 81 am glad
you spoke 10 me about about it, and" now
Smuggins moved his chair up II little closer,
and began 10 look happy.) you tell them,"
continued Smith "whcn they next ask you,
that you don't know"
And still Smuggins was not happy.

W. W. STORY.
a thousand silent years ago.
The starlight, faint and pale,
Was drawing ON the sunset glow
Its soft and shadow veil,
When from his work the Sculptor stayed
His hand, and turned to one
Who stood beside him, half in shade,
Said, with sigh, "'ris done"
"Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay,
M love nor prayers can aught avail
TO bid thy beauty stay.
"liut there Thy smile for centuries
On marble lips shall live
For Art can grant what love denies,
And fix the fugitive.
Sad thought nor age nor death shall fad,
The youth of this cold bust,
When the quick brain and hand that made
And thou and |, are dust !
when all our hopes and fears are dead,
And beth our hearts are cold,
And love il like tune that played,
And life Il tale that j told.
This counterfeit of senseless stone,
That no sweet blush can warm,
That same enchanting look shall own,
The same enchanting form.
And there upon that silent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace,
And sealed serenity.
And strangers, when we sleep in peace,
Shall say, not quite unmOVed:
50 smiled upon Praxiteles
The Phryne whom he loved.

The Sea of Galilee.

Riding by the foot of Hattin, over
the place where, 700 years ago, Sala-
din annihilated the crusaders power
IN Palestine, we at length reached
ridge where we looked out on the dis
tant hills of Bashan, and down far
below US upon a dark blue pear or
harp-shaped sheet of water, lying
snugly in a deep Enclosure of high
brown hills. Though less than 10
miles long and seven miles broad,
yet, measured by the events it has
witnessed, it is a kind of Pacific
Ocean. 1t was the Sea of Galilee.
AS we moved over the long way
downward to its level-650 feet below
the Mediterranean Sea-we had time
to grasp and fix its whole aspect and
surroundings. 1t lacks boldness of
outline, for its hills slope gradually
back from the shore, or leave mar
row plain, as at Gennessaret and
Buthia. But the lights and shadows
lie sweetly on the hillsides at night
and morning; the northern end is
broken into pleasant little bays, and
Hermon looms up beyond, far off,
yet seemingly near. The whole as
pect of the lake is one that suggests
the thought and the lack of beautiful
homes. 1t was still long ride to the
lake. The region we were passing,
once brimful of activity, was utterly
forsaken now. The entire lake lay
spread before us, and nearly the whole
of it's coast line, along or near which
once lay the cities of Tarichea, Tibe-
rias, Hippo, Gamala, Gergess, Beth
saida, Chorazin, Capernaum, Mag
dala and Beth Arbel. OF these cities,
Tiberias, once had its Senate of 600 !;
Gamala was able to resist and defeat
Vespasian at the head of three legions
and when captured by Vespasian and
Titus it lost 400 in the fight, and 5000
who hurled themselves or were push
ed down the precipices while Tari-
chea, according to Josephus, was able
at one time to furnish 1880 for
slaughter in sea fight with the Ro-
mans, 1900 slain in cold blood in the
stadium, 5000 captive youth to dig
for Nero in the isthmus, and 10000
to be sold into slavery. The only ex-
listing visible representatives of all
this strength and activity were the
little cluster of huts called Mejdel
(Magadala) and the shrunken Tibe-
rias, with its 1000 inhabitants. From
our path not vestige of the other
places could be discerned. 1t was near
sunset when we entered Liberals. We
followed the road through the gate,
but could easily have passed through
the rents in the walls. The now
squalid city. mentioned but once in
the New Testament, has been the
chief home of the jewish learning
since the destruction of Jerusalem.
Here the Jerusalem Talmud was COM
pleted, and here is now what may be
called the present theological school
of the Jews.-Prof. Bartlett.

Many farmers of Western New
York are going out of tobacco raising
because Of the uncertainties of the
crop, the loss of fertility and depre-
citation of the land. Even those far
mers who have realized the highest
prices and the quickest sales admit
that the effect of tobacco raising is to
reduce Profits on general farming /;
that it's exhaustive tendency is seri-
Gus matter to consider, and that in
the long run il is destructive to more
important interests.

party that contains the men whose conduct
produced the most cruel and indefensible
martyrdom of modern times. 1t is not
impossible that the worthy successor of
the lamented martyr" will be made the
candidate of the party in whose lines
President may meet his death because he
fails to distribute patronage in accordance
with the views and demands of cold, cruel,
selfish corruption. The resolution adopted
by the Pennsylvania Republican conven-
ton shows the vitality of the boss spoils
system which dominates the party organ
ization. 1t shows the people that the
leadership of the party has no
other or higher craftsmanship than the
''spoils," and all that that implies. All
patriotic men should earnestly unite to
take from such hands the supreme power
that is SO misunderstood and abused by
them. "Turn the rascals out" should be
the universal battle cry. 1t is mocksry
and worse to longer permit the highest
political power of the country to remain
in such control. If the signs of the times
are not wholly misleading the day is now
at hand when the ,rascals will be turned
out.
