JANUARY AND JUNE.

Said January to June:
''Pray, let us walk together,
The birds are all in tune,
And sunny is the weather.
"And look you: will show,
Before the long day closes,
A pretty sight know,
Worth all your summer roscs.n
Then, as they went, the air
Grew thick with suow-nakes flying;
But with all the roses fair
Hung down their heads, a-dylng.
Cried June, in sorrow: ''Nay,
We may not wali together.
You've turned my skin to gray
And spoiled my golden weather.
go now, pray YOU, go,
Before my last bud closes.
Take you your cold white snow,
And give me back my roses ~

Territorial Enterprise.
A man erected some kind of new
tangled pumping apparatus for {
rancher at Paradise Valley. The
pumping machine was to be driven by
wind. The other day when ten-knot
breeze was blowing the inventor turn
ed her loose In about half an houl
the machine flooded the cattle CORA
with water and floated away the butt
end of haystack. The ranchmar
yelled to his machinist: "Stop her
stop her!" but it happened that pro
vision for stopping was what the in
ventor had not thought of. Had it moi
been that the well was soon pumped
dry the whole ranch would probably
have been washed away. Even after
the well was dry the machine threw
mud and gravel so wickedly that to ap
proach it was unsafe.

The seeds of the sorghum, it appears,
sell readily at 65 cents per bushel, and
at that price it appears they will pay
all expenses of producing the cane up
to the time when cutting begins. The
Rio Grande Company have housed
their seed-amounting to 10000
bushels-which at the above price will
aggregate $4,000. There is yet an

There is constant danger of wrong
infcrcnccs flom q misuse of terms.
Take the term minister for exam
pie. A minister, as the term is used in
the Bible, is scrvant-a ministcring
or serving attendant. Joshua was the
minister of Moses, Elisha was the min
istcr of Elijah, and Aaron and all the
priests who came after him were minis
tcrs of the Lord or of the Lords sane
tuary. In this sense every man of God
is minister of God; every pastor of u
church is one of the Lords ministers
one of the Lords servants. But it does
not follow that the pastor of people
is the minister Che servanD of that
people. 1t is right for church members
TO speak of "our pastor" but it is not
right for them to speak of "our minis
Ter" Your pastor is the Lords SER
want. He is not the Lords pastor; nor
is he your servant That is q distinc.
ton worth bearing in mind.

In Yesterdays News we printed an
article relative TO gambling in high life

ally known, but it is nevertheless true,
that within ten blocks of the capitol,
and almost within the shadow Of the
patent Office, is located one Of these
gilded palaces of sin. 1t is SumptuouS-
ly furnished, and none but the richest
men of the highest social standing are
permitted TO cross its portals. No one
of the common or vulgar herd is ever
permitted there. The proprietor and
presiding genius Of the place is Ken
tuckian and man with history. He
was at one time member of the high

lawyer with large practice, and for Il
while the editor of n leading paper in
northern Kentucky; apopular preach

Il member of congress from western

here. He is described rs an educated
and accomplished gentleman, and a
man of rare talent. He dislikcs his
present occupation and is fully as con-
scious rs anybody else of the disgrace
attached to his calling. But he claims
that when he came TO Washington from

The editor of the Canadian Farmer
| thus discusses subject that is worthy
of more than mere passing glance
and We commend his views TO our
readers:
"DO farmers or country people in
| general work harder than the dwcllcr,
in cities and towns? Business men OF
the cities tell us that country people
know nothing about hard work, that
they are often so hurried they have moi
time to take their meals. and are nj
work especially at certain seasons OF
the year late and early. l'rucit is that
the farmers work has less of care and
anXiety, and after the days work is
over, though it be laborious, yet it
brings health and strength, and induces
sweet nights of rest, free from the cares
Of business, the anxiety of maturing
bank notes, besides other claims to be
met. and perhaps not knowing where
the money is to come from TO meet
them. Business men do more brain
work. and have more brain worry and
more anyictyo mind, while with farm
crS their labor is labor of muscles with
less cares. Men can, however, make
lhcr business whatever they choose
aborious or otherwise, and oftcntimcs
the cares that seem thcmoSl oppressive
are imaginary. Life is about as we
make it, and there are pleasures. and

Napa tCalJ Register
1t is related of Chinese fisherman
that not long ago he was angling il
Napa river and jerked up some small
fish on his line. In extracting it from
the hook, with mouth open, at the mo-
ment it was released it Topped head
first into his open mouth. The China
man made desperate thrust to get il
out, and showed the fish further dowr
his throat. He closed his jaws ant
smothered it to death, but afterward
when attempting to get it from hi,
mouth, the spines in the fins and along
the back would be erected and present
an impediment he could not overcome
In his desperation he sought the adj
vice of his fellow-Mongolians, who con
cluded as the fish would not come out
it must go in, and they forced it dowr
his throat.

A Slight Mistake.

New York Journal
Gen. Neal Dow slipped on the side
walk in Portland, the other day, and
fell. A friend picked him up and cX-
claimed, in pretended carnestness:
General, wish there wasn't u drop
of liquor in the world!' This calls to
mind the story of n faithful soldier whc
was detailed by Gen. Grant to head
quarters at Washington, and whose
only fault was too much indulgence in
strong drinks. Gen. Grant took the
man to task, but he always denied the
charge until one day the General
happened TO find him in u state of in
toXication. The next morning the
offender was called before the General,
with whom he was great favolite,
severely reprimanded and told that il
again seen intoxicated he would be pun
iShCd. Less than u week afterward the
General saw the soldier staggering
along Pennsylvania avenue scarcely
able to keep his feet. The General
suddenly confronted him, and shaking
his finger at him. exclaimed, Drunk
again!" "Hush-h-h Gcn'ral,n whisp-

A BLIND CAT.

An interesting account of a cat which be-
came quite blind, rather suddenly, from cat
aract, when about four years old, is given
by Mr.. Hovey i'll the Scientific American. At
first the cat would sit and new most piteous-
ly, and when he tried to move about he
met with al. conceivable mishaps-ran
against walls, fell down stairs, stumbled
over sticks &c. lfplaced on the top rail of
fence, he would traverse its whole length
seeking vainly for IL safe place TO jump of.
On being called he would run about in n
bewl!dered way. Ere long, however, Dido
lso-called irrespective of genderl showed a
power Of adaptation to altered conditions
He became able TO run down stairs at full
speed, turning into the hall after the last
step. In this process he went to one side on
Tic top step till he felt the banisters touch
his whskerS. and by these he was guided
One by one he made each familiar path It

NC, and with such success that it
often seemed US if sight had been re-
stored but If any unexpected obstacle was
placed i'll his way he showed, by running
against ii. that he was still quite blind.
DIDO seems Is eager for war as he formerly
was, ana he even goes abroad in quest of
adventures. His value us II mouscr does
not seem to be in the least diminished. Put
into closet where rats were suspected he
was found in the morning mounting guard
over u large rat he had killed. Didos sense
OF smell is by no means acute; yet he uni
tornly chooses the shortest road home with
out reference to the path he may have TAX
Ell III leaving the house Once, when the
ground was thickly covered with snow, Mr.
l!ovcy took Dido out considerable dis
lance, and, after making q number of turns
to bewildcr him. tossed him OIL drift and
awaited results. The animal turned his
head in various directions and mewed pite-
ously; but finding he was left to his own
resources, he stood motionless for about a
minute, and then, to the authors surprise,
made his way directly through the untrod-
ded snow to the house door.

FAVORED THE PLAINTIFF.-An Arkansas
man who was elected from a railroad car
shortly aiterward brought suit for damages,
and after long and interesting hearing of
the case, the judge delivered the following
charge to the jury
'"rhc plaintiff boarded the train for the
purpose of travelling short distance. He
had no money! fact which he frankly con-
fessed. There was plenty of room in the
car, so the plaintiff was in no ones way.
The train is in the habit of travelling the
road-in fact, it has TO go along there. The
train would have to arrive at its destination
Just as soon if the plaintiff had not been on
board The machinery would not have been
worn any more by hauling the plaintiff.
The president Of the road would not have
been i'll the least injured. And now, in
view of all these tates-that the train had to
so any way: that there was plenty of room
in the car and that the train would not
have been injured by the plaintiff charge

Of the plaintiff, and that as healthtul ex-
ample to all parties concerned. the con-
ductor be sent to Jail for six months. and
also that the clerk Of this court furnish the

these proceedings, together with an opinion
that he, the president, don't live far enough

Advice to Those Using Glasses.

Men engaged in literary pursuits should
read mostly by day, and write mostly by
night. 1t is worthy of note that reading
causes more strain to the eye than writing
and that copying work in writing makes a
greater demand upon the organs of vision
than ol-hand composition. Twilight and a
mixture of twilight and artificial illumi-
nation should be avoided for any kind of
work
The pale cobalt-blue tint is the best that
can be employed when protection for the
eye from intense glare is sought. as in the
case of travelling upon snow-lields in the
bright sunshine The green glass that is so
often adopted for this purpose is not by any
means so worthy of confidence
Reading in Railway travelling is object
ionablc in the highest degree, for a very OBJ
vious reason. The oscillation ofthc carriage
continually alters the distance Of the page
from the eye. and so calls for unceasing
strain in the effort to keep the organ in due
accommodation for the ever varying distance
Of the dancing image.
The exact fitting Of the frame work Of
spcctaclcs to the face and eyes is Of more
Importance than is generally supposed. If
the centcrs Of the lenses do not accuratly
coincide with the centers of the pupils of
the eyes the consequence is that the images
III the separate eyes are IL little displaced
from the positions they ought to hold, and a
somewhat painful effort has to be made by
the eye to bring those images into CORES
pondcncc for accurate vision. An incipient
squint Is apt to be in this way produced
Mr.. Carter recommends that people should
look to the centering of their spectacles for
themselves. This may easily be done by
standing before Il looking-glass with the
spcctaclcs in their place. Ifthe fit is n good
one the center Of the pupil should then ap-
pear i'll the center OF the rim. Fully framed
spcctaclcs are always to be preferred to fold
ing frames, because they permit of more
satisfactory adjustment in that particular,
and because they are more easily kept in
position with regard to the eyes.
The only advantage which the pebble has
over glass for the construction of spectacles
is the immunity which it possesses against
scratching and fracture, on account of its
greater hardness. -Edinburg Reriew.
