A Calendar on Your Fingers.

Newark Call.
This is the way that an old-tmer manages
to fix the day of the week that mouths open
with. 1t will be found correct and inter
esting to people who have memory for such
things:
What day of the week did January come
in on?" asked Grandpa Martin. Ii you can
tell me that, l can tell you the day that any
month will come in on by the help OF little
lingo learned from my father when l was a
boy. Monday did you say?" and grandpa
held up his hands preparatory to counting
his fingers. Now, April is the fourth month,
let me see-'at Dover dwelt George Brown,
ESQ.,, good Christopher French and
David Frier' We 90 by the first letters of
these words-1, 2, B. 4-at Dover dwelt George

What Ia the use of this impetuous haste7
The end is certain. Let us take our time,
And hoard the vital forces that we waste
Before the day has reached the golden prime.
What Is the use of rushing with spent breath
After old age, it's burrows, its white halrt
Why need we hurry so TO welcome death,
Or go half way, with hands stretched out to
carea
There Is no use. Dear heart, if we hut wait.
All things will find us. Let us pause, say.
We cannot go beyond the silent gate
That lies a short days journey down the way
Let us take time for love and its delights
1t the one sweet thing that pays for all
The bitterness of life, for sorrows blight,
For pains despair, and deaths funereal pail.
In the Lost era when the world was new,
Love was mems first pursuit and hfe's excuse.
Now has that time come back to me and you
Why should we seek for moref What is the usef

MY heart was highland whole aboard;
As sculled swift by Hurley ford
The rain began to patter-
But when saw IN Hurley lock

Her teeth are short and pearly;
And on IA rosy, sun-kissed cheek

With such pilot for my ship,
And sail way from Hurley!

Long lashes downward sweeping;
A spOw-whte ruff around her throat,
Beneath her pOuting petbicoat

Or Is she very foMl of funl

Tennyson's First Verses.

Mrs Thackeray- Richie in the December Harpers.
Tennyson's first verses, so once heard him
say, we're written upo1 a slate which his
brother Charles put into his hand one Sun
day at Louth, when all the elders of the
party were goiEg to churh, and the child was
lett alone. Charles gave him a subject-the
flowers in the garden-and when he came
back from church little Alfred brought the
slate to his brother all covered with written
lines of blank verse; They were made on the
models of Thcmson's Seasons" the only
poetry he had ever read One can picture it
all to ones self the flowers in the garden,
the verses, the little poet with waiting eyes,
and the young brother scanning the lines
''Yes, you can write" said Charles and he
gave Alfred back the slate. / have also heard
another story of his grandmother, later on,
asking him to write an elegy on his grand
mother, who had recently died, aud, when
it was written, putting ten shillings into his
hand and saying: There, that is the first
money You have ever earned by your po-
etry. and, take my word for it, it will be the

They tell her he is dead; and when she hears,
Right instantly she fears,
Lest they shall wonder that she sheds no tears.
Aud thereat, very sadly, mournerwise,
She droops her great soft ewes,
And goes TO stand beside him where he lies.
'Poor widowed one!" they whisper, for they see
Her sorrowing men; but she
Makes passionate inward murmur: 81 am free"
She hears that he ia dead; and when she hears,
Leap the hot. heavy tears
To eyes that have not wept for years and years.
And, loi she has forgiven him all the shame
He wrought upon her name,

Then to his home she hurries, yearniug sore
To look on him once more:
But friends, in awful virtue. guard the doOri

What in heavens name is that woman

Gardner, in a disguised voice. The woman
was elevated to the stand by Court Officer
Morse. A Mrs. Flanagan, who lives in the
same house with her, had cut her clothes

some punishment should be melted out to

From him who stands with mouth agape
In wonders paralytic rest, ~
Shall natures secret e'er escape
And deeper hide within her breast,
But he who gropes, with eager hand,
To touch the scepter of her rule,
May win, perchance, his way to stand
Within her sanctum's vestibule.
Whose light stall grant his eyes the scope. =.
As all life's scenes to him unroll-
To group their blackness and their hope,
Aud blend in one harmonious whole,
Show him the source of roses rud
In natures subtle chemistry,
Till he in tinting Of his blood,
The same alembic's work can see,
And prove by thoughts dissecting knife
Not he the heir of breath alone,
But that the meauest insects life
Draws from the fame that fires his own.
BY her acoustics tune his ear
To sobs, or songs when hearts rejoice,
And all the sounds that he may hear
To which God ever gave voice,
Till, as their waves about are swrled,
He hears from harp of muslc's lord
The dlapason of the world
Without single jarring chord.
Who sits to learn at Natures feet
May count her pulses one by one,
And catch the Cadence Of their beat
Till his shall throb in unison.
He may not all the coil unwind,
Nor read the riddle through and through;
But he who looks The scenes behind
May of earth's secrets catch the clew.

''This Is the front gate. The shivering moon

Upon it's twisted hinges, and the gaunt
Night wind oreeps wailing through the bars,
With a long three-ply kiss that made the house

Now all deserted, with broken catch.

And hoarsely screams unto the screaming wind.
Alas what transient things are human loves
A little season of soft nights and perfumed airs,
And gentle moonlight then Eur0clydon
Comes bowling from the sea; romance is DER,
And to the stuffy psrlor we adjourn,
Aud mindful of the arras sit apart
And wistful list the waiting of the gate"

Indifference.

What ia Indifference, do you ask of met
Oh we'll know the meaning of the phrase,
II ia to find gray ash instead of blaze
That warmed you once; TO lose, alas! the key
Which turned In friendships wards; to sometime
The eyes that shone for you in other days
Now coldly meet your own in passing gaze
To know that what has been no more shall be.
1t is'to find that you In naught believe:
To know that youth has fled far down the past;
To feel that hope will ne'er again be born,
And love is but poor, worn cheat at last.
1t is all this, yet not Tor this to grieve-
To live, and heed not that one lives forlorn

The Moral Influence of Good Cooking.

The Moral Influence of Good Cooking.
Mattieu Williams, in Popular Science Monthly.
Some people may be inclined to smile at
what l am about to say, viz, that such
savory dishes, serving to vary the monotony
of the poor Woodworking mans ordinary
fare, afford considerable moral as we'll as
physical advantage.
An instructive experience of my own will
illustrate this. When wandering alone
through Norway in 1856 lost the track in
crossing the Kyolen field, struggled on for
twenty-three hours without food or rest,
and arrived i'll sorry plight at LON, a very
wild region. After a few hours rest |
pushed on to still wilder region and still
rougher quarters, and continued thus
to the great Jostedal table-land, an un-
broken glacier 500 square miles; then de-
scended the JoStedal itself to its opening on
the Sogne fjord-fve days of extreme hard
ship, with no other food than fatbrod
(very coarse oatcake) and bilberrIes gathered
on the way, varied on one occasion with the
luxury of two raw turnips. Then | reached

food are the primary source of the craving
for strong drink that so largely prevails with
sucn deplorable results among the class that
is the most exposed to such privation. l do
not say that this is the only source of such
depraved appetite. 1t may also be engen-
