PLANT A HOME.

Young beginners in life's morning
Don't forget the rainy day
Sunshine cannot last forever,
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot of beauty,
Some fair lot, and 'plant q home"
You, too, who have babes around you,
Coming up to take your place;
Give them something to remember,
Homestead memories let them trade.
Would you feel the pride of manhood,
Lett the sun your dwelling greet,
Breathe the blessed air of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You, too, who perhaps have squandered
Life's fair morn-'tis not too late
Start at once to WOO bright Fortune,
Rail no more at so-called Fate,
Sow the golden seeds of saving
In the rich and q~uickening loan;
Spend your last days not with strangers,
Enter Heavens gate from home.
The Penn's Grove record., 1884-05-17

NJ. Bouchardat, professor of hygiene
at the Paris faculty of medicine, pro-
tests against the o~ft-repeated adage that
old age is the age of rest, and says that
the regular general exercise of the or
gans of nutrition and locomotion isnec-
essary in all ages. The fact that men
tai activity is conducive to longevity is
illustrated by the long list of members
of the French academy of science of
men who are over eighty years of age.

Volatility Of words is carelessness In
action. Words are the wings of action.
Scandal will run out like dirt when

Fashions in Carpeting.

AT this season Of the year, it is q
natural desire to rcplenish the house
hold and to embellish some special room
with new carpet. Perhaps there is
no shopping which requires more Of the
grace Of patience than this same selec-
ton of a carpet and, because it is
matter of Importance, it is well to think
about it II little beforehand. The shape,
size, and purpose Of the room, the gen
eral furnishings, the arrangements of
light, the quality and price, must one
and all be considered, and then, when
ones mind is made up, find out what
fashion has to say on the subject
Recent importation Of the reliable carpet
house John IL. Pray & Sons show a
marked change in style from those of
last year. Their tone is much gayer
and brighter. \ reaction has APP
parently begun; for even the Morris
designs, aesthetic as they are, still are
brightly delicate in color and really
cheerful in some Of their quaint COM
binations. Among the choicest carpet
ings shown by this firm, English Brus,
sells remains the favorte with conserv-
alive buyers; but the Lowell and Big
Glow manufactures follow so close it
must be an expert to discern any DIFF
ference, save in price. Indeed, the
American fubrics are now considered
absolutely perfect. Durable in texture
and solid in color, they prove the very
best of investments. No home is con-
siaered wholly finished without a Wood
stock carpet, the most tasteful substi-
tute for Brussels or Persian stutis that
this firm has ever placed before the
public. With characteristic enterprise,
John II. Pray G. Sons monopolize the
sale in this country of this noted manu-
facturc and whoever desires one of
these lovely squares for sltting-room or
parlor must 60 to them. The Morris
patterns are truly artistic, and the new
colors, including not only shades of
gray and terra Gotta, but clover, pink,
and heavenly blue, with delicate sage
green, brown, and primrose, and other
combinations as odd and charming as
though they had just grown up in an
English garden. Their popularity is
so great that the firm have introduced
a cheaper kind of carpeting called the
Kensington Art Ingram that copies
some Of these dainty Morris designs,
and faithfully rcproduces in simple IL
tie patterns the tasteful colors of the
handsom goola These styles are
intended for bedrooms and summer
residences where Inexpensive carpets
are required. Much taste and judy
ment have been exercised b? this firm
in the selection of goods which shall
not merely satisfy millionaircs, but
please those who have not the purse OF
a Fortune at their command.
