The Downward Path.

Ten years ago SeleucuS Garielde left
Congress and became a professional
gambler; recently he died in a little
room oyer a cigar shop in Washington.
The story of Garfielde's life, says a
Washington letter, is that of a man
who surrendered absolutely to the
temptations of Washington. He was
born siXty-one years ago in Vermont,
went to Kentucky when he was a boy,
was graduated from Augusta college
in that State, and began his active life
as Il lawyer. When he was thirty years
old he vas a member of the Kentucky
legislature. and a few years later he
was commissioned to codify til, laws
of the State. In 1860 he was receiver
Of public moneys for Washington Ter
ritOry, and in 1869, after serving three
years as encouragement, he came to
Congress as delegate. lie was here
four years, and when his congressional
career was over he was "A moral wreck.
He had lost his ambition, and was as
dissolute a gambler a lived in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Cards had come to
be the passion of his life.
1t is said that he left Kentucky and
wandered Off into Washington Terri
tory, because he saw his doom if he re-
manned among the genial poker players
of his adopted State. Hefought against
what he feared would become his rul-
ing passion, re- to thu extent of Civ
ing up what promised to be an excep-
tionally bright future, but his surround
ings in Washington finally overcame
him completely. His fellow Congress
men ruined him, and he lived for the
rest of his days on the vices of public
men. No life in Washington was
lower than his. The men and women
who were his companions were of the
lowest stratum. For years the man
who had once promised to be one of
the cleverest public men of Kentucky
had not "A single intimate associate
who did not belong to the dangerous
element of society. He was always,
however, a leader among the people
with whom he lived.

TO Late.

The law ofheredity, Ivy which living
beings tend to repeat themselves in
their descendants, is generally accepted
by scientists and physicians. Some
assert that not only the physical but
the spiritual traits of parents are re-
produced in their children. In the
matter of health and disease there is
no doubt that parents transmit their
physical qualities, strength and weak
neSSeS.
One of the best-known physicians
in Boston was called. not long since,
to attend the bedside of a rich man
who had been suddenly taken i'll. The
doctor felt the patients pulse and saw
that the case vas hopeless. Turning
to n of the family, who stood anx-
iously waiting to hear his opinion, he
said:
"You should have sent for a physician
long ago"
But we sent at once; as soon as he
was taken ILL.,"
"Ah yes" replied the physician.
sadly, "but you should have sent 100
years ago.
The physician recognized the fact
that his patient, who died that day,
was in reality the victim CT his an
%cestors' careless or criminal violation
of the laws of health, years before he
himself was born.

Coffee Beans N IN ifactured to Order.

"Glve me your opinion of these,
young man," said the east side grocer,
as he spread before the reporter a hand
full of coffee beans. "They aren't very
regular in size, are they? Now COM
pare them with these, and tell me
which you think are the better"
The grocer placed a second handful
alongside of the others. The two lots
were of the same dark brown color,
and at a little distance away presented
no very marked difference. Closer in
spectiOn showed that while the coffee
beans first shown were not all of the
same size. the second handful were of
extraordinary regularity, the beans
being very plump and large.
IL know what you are going to tell
me, and at first glance any one would
say SC. Your opinion is that the last
lot IS the best, isn't it? Well, the diff
ference between the two patches is
that those which Ishowed you first are
IA fair lot of coffee beans, while the
others aren't coffee at all, and never
grew on a coffee BUSH"
What kind of a bush did they
grow on 2"
"No bush at all. They are a manu-
featured article. You need not look
as if you didn't believe it. for it's a
fact on which you may safely risk your
last dime. They are nothing more or
less than limitations, made out of
dough, and Drowned up to resemble
the true coffee. They are made in
molds and baked afterward. Each one
is almost perfect in shape, and all are
alike. You won't find genuine coffee
beans to have such regularity"
"They look all right, but it strikes
me that no n would mistake the bev-
erage made from them for coffee"
You are wrong again, young man.
No respectable grocer would be foolish
enough to give any customer who buys
a pound of COFFEE a pound of the inf-
tation. No, indeed. They mix it in
the proportion of four or five of coffee
to one of the imitation. Nobody ex-
amines each bean. You hear persons
complaining of bad coffee all the time.
I'm SURE l can't tell how it is, says the
housekeeper; Il buy the coffee in the
bean and grind it myself. l am sure
it is not adulterated.'
you see, the grocer can mix
chicory with ground coffee, but when
coffee is bought i'll the bean something's
got to be done. Some brilliant mind
got over the difficulty by making coffee
beans to order. '-NeW York Sun.

TRY AGAIN.

When the e~quinoctial blast
Tears the canvas from the mast,
Does the sailor stand aghast
To complain
Nay (; rather through the storm
Yov can mark his manly form
Try again.
When the n~ight-clouds overtake
The hunter in the brake,
Where the wild wolf and snake
Have domain,
Does he fling him down to weep,
Like a sluggard in his sleep,
Or with fearless heart and leap,
Try. again?
If friends or fate should provo
An overmatch for love,
And we vainly try to move
Their disdain,
Oh! who would then lie down,
Though friends or fate should frown-
Who would not, for his own,
Try again ?

How 1t Was Made.

An old lady in the country had a
dandy from the city to dine with her
on a certain occasion. For dessert
there happened to be an enormous
apple pie.
La, ma'am - said he, show do you
manage to handle such a pie?'
EASY enough" was the reply 1--WE
make the crust up in a wheelbarroy,
wheel it under the apple tree, and then
shake the fruit down into it,"

An Epitaph.

The following is an epitaph on a
tombstone in Chautauqua, county,
y. Y:
"Neuraltia worked on Mrs. Smith,
Till meath the sol it laid her
She was a worthy Methodist,
And served as Il crusader.
Friends came delighted at the call,
In plenty of good carriages;
Death is the common lot of all,
And comes more Oft han marriages."

Children's Games and FrOlics.

A quiet blind mans buff game which
may be played in the house is known
by the euphonious name of Still Pond
No Moving" One child is blindfolded
and stands in the middle of the room
counting 100 by fives, then calls out
Still pond no moving" The others
hide in some part of the room, and the
one who is "it" gropes about until he
catches some one whom he must name
If anyone moves then he is blindfolded
and has to be st"
A lady in Brooklyn, who has four lit
tie girls and three small boys, has
game for them called Housekeeping.
Every morning they clean up their nurs-
cry. Two OF them have little brooms
and they do the sweeping, while little
tot of 3 years in pink cap aud apron
takes up the dust in tiny dust-pan.
The boys move the furniture about and
then they all dust. They also dust the
two parlors every morning, and seldom
break anything. This is good exercise
for them, and they enjoy it greatly. No
grown-up person bothers them while
they work, but their mother inspects it
and points out improvements after it is
done.
"Oh, l wish it was warm weather, so
the children could play out doors!" is
an exclamation often heard during the
months of cold weather. Some days
this month even it has been too cold for
the little ones to remain out long, al
though every sensible mother should
take her children out into the fresh air
every clear day in the year, unless they
are sick. But the many hours child
spends indoors during winter ought to
be filled with play of an amusing and
instructive character. In the first
place, do not forbid the children the
kitchen, for in that most busy room of
the house they may learn many useful
things; and what child does not like to
see cakes and pies made, and have the
dish the cake was mixed In after the
cake is in the oven, or make little pie
or cake of their own out of piece of
dough?
Another mother in this city who has
large family of children has game
for them which they play every night.
1t is called "Circus" by the children
and affords an excellent opportunity
for exercise. They all form in straight
line, with their arms folded behind
them and march backward and then
forward to gay music played by THEN
mother, singing some simple music,
such as
Six little children, al in row,
backward, forward, here we all 20.
Then they place the hands clasped over
the head and march again singing;
then they place their hands on each
others shoulders and march. One child
recites little poem every night, and is
crowned with n wreath of flowers, the
children forming circle about her and
singing. Then the father holds q spell
ing match, over which they have great
fun, after which they sing hymn and
go off to bed, their eyes sparkling with
fun and exercise and their memories,
voices and lungs gaining strength by
the game
A useful and instructive game for
children a little older is called Find
ing" Each one has map, say of Asia,
or they may cluster around big map.
Some one of them says, Find Pekin."
Then they hunt for it and whoever
finds it and locates it properly has the
next turn. -Nelc York Journal.

BETTER THAN GOLD.
R FATHER RYAN.

Better than grandeur. better than gold,
Than rank and titles n Thousand fold,
is a healthy body and a mind at ease
And simple pleasures that always please:
heart that can feel for anothers woe,
with sympathies large enough TO enfold
All men as brothers. Is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere,
Douby blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lusts and cares OF wealth,
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor man cot,
For mind and morals In nature 3 plan
Are the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold Is the sweet repose
OF the sons OF toll when the labors close.
Better than gold il the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep
Bring sleeping draughts on the downy bed.
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
The toiler simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good OF yore,
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The Glor,es of empires passed away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home
Where all the fireside Characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold
And center there are better than gold.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-11-22
