In recent sermon Henry Ward Beecher
said: 81 feel sore at heart now. One of
the noblest natures that used to sit in these
seats, one loved and who loved me; whose
hand was as large in it's generosity as a
prairie; who had all the prospects of noble
and useful life; who could RESTRAIN himself
and stop when he'd a mind to- But he
has gone down to such degree of intern
pe1ance that his friends have given him up
in despair. How many of that kind have 1
seen; and the time past did not suffice for
him, or for them. They say: ITO be sure
it is not necessity for mel can give it
up Or, 4 know l drink little; but it is
not necessity for me; can give it up to-
day. But they don't; and they don't next
year, Or the year after; and when!they hear
the roar of the tide of perdition, over which
they will plunge finally, they can't"

INSTRUCTION IN BOUQUETS Flowers
should be cut in the early morning when
the dew is on. No other moisture so thor
oughly impregnates plant as dew. We
know that oats or wheat bound wet with
rain will dry out much more rapidly than
if wet with dew. If flowers are moist with
dew when cut they will continue fresh
much longer than if wet with rain; a priori,
if not damp at all, as in the middle of the
day.
Never put blue and purple together, new
er put crimson and scarlet, or bright pink
and scarlet in .juxtaposition. The result is
always bad and destructive Of pleasing eff
feet. Arrange the flowers in shadings of
the same colOrs or in contrasts.
Nature does everything we'll and no taste
is better than hers. She is good guide to
follow. She is always artistic and her bou-
quets are always beautiful. With every
flower she puts green leaves for back
ground. Hence, green leaves are always
desirable in bouquet. They brighten the
colors of the flowers and at the same time
relieve the eye. Also, the foliage belong
Jag to each plant is usually the best adapt
ed to peculiar peauty. A bouquet of camel
las alone would be chilly, cold, devoid of
beauty or effect; but combine the blossoms
with the rich, glossy foliage and the effect
is charming. Every one exclaims, "How
beautiful
In every bouquet or dish of flowers it is
safe to have plentiful mixture of white
and neutral tints. After green the safest
color is white But white is for the fore
ground, green for the background. Neu-
trail tints brighten bright, snowy colors and
save the bouquet also from '1oudness."

BLAINE BRIBE-TAKER.-The New
York Tribune, now the chief newspaper
supporter of lingo Blaine, said in 1872, in
speaking of that person.
"The startling exposure of Speaker
Blaine's venality in connection with the
Union Pacific road, eastern division, entire
ly destroys, of course, whatever credit some
people may have given to his evasive deni.
al Of the Oak Ames bribery, and puts the
whole case of the Credit Mobilier upon a
different basis.
Now it is shown that Speaker Blaine never
deserved his good reputation. He has
taken brides in another case"
The Tribune was edited then as now by
Whitelaw Reid. Then Blaine was rascal
and bribe-taker. Now he is a saint, a
model of all political and personal virtue
and excellence. What influence, if not
such as venal politician like Mr.. Blaine
knows so well how to WELD, has changed
the position of the Tribune?
Such sudden and radical change smacks
Of venality, abandons all claim to consis-
tency, and destroys it's character for relia-
bility. 1t justly invites severe criticism,
and brings its honesty into question. Such
a journal is fit organ Of a corrupt party,
and a proper supporter of corrupt politi-
cian.-Wheeling Register.

THE TWINS.

In form and features, face and limb,
grew SO like my brother,
That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another.
1t puzzled all our kith and kin
And reached fearful pitch,
For one OF us was born twin,
But not soul knew which.
One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
AS we were being washed by nurse
We got completely mixed;
And so, you see, by fate's decree,
Or rather nurses whim,
My brother John got christened me
And i got christened him.
This fatal likeness even logged
My footsteps while at school,
And was always being logged,
For John turned out fool.
I put this question fruitlessly,
To every one knew,
What would you do If you were me
To prove that you were you?
This sad resemblance turned the tide
OF my domestic life,
And somehow my intended bride
Became my brothers wife;
In fact. year after year, this same
Absurd mistake went on.
And when died the neighbors came
And buried brother John.

Training Boys for Farmers.
Rv Onr A or;cr1tura1 Ed;+or

By Our Agricultural Editor.
1t is not to be expected, nor is 1t to be
desired, that every boy raised upon farm
should be farmer. Some will have &C.
MUS for and must seek a living in other call
ings. Still it is best no doubt, that the ma
jorlty of farmers boys should themselves
follow the same calling as their fathers,
best for them and best for the country.
But how to keep the boys on the farm,
and how to train them into good practical,
and successful farmers are ques-
tions often asked and seldom answered.
We believe it depends almost entirely on
the home training the boy receives as he
grows up. 1t is as natural for boys to dis
like hard work and ceaseless drudgery, as
it is for city bred people to be fond Of show
and excitement, and if the home life of the
farmer boy is all work and no relaxation,
rest and reasonable amusement, it is not to
be expected that he will grow up with
love for farm life.
10 make a long story short, let us say,
that, in our humble opinion, the best way
in the world to keep boy on the farm and
cause him to become good industrious
and successful farmer, is to give him lit
tie farm OF his own while he is boy, and
encourage him to cultivate and improve it.
Give the boy twenty five or fifty acres of
land, with the promise that it shall be his
with more added when he becomes man,
and give him the means, aid and encourage
ment necessary to enable him to work it.;
tell him that all the crops and stock he can
raise shall be bis own to use in proper
manner, as in the purchase of clothes, books,
education, &C.; and then allow the boy am
pie time to work his little farm, even all his
time if necessary, and if that boy has any
energy or acquivitiveness at all, he will
soon be seized with new spirit, new
light will kindle In his eye, he will soon
take an abiding interest in his work and
will come to love it, This is the way to
keep him on the farm.
If fathers would give some Of their boys
this sort Of chance and training, the boy
would soon be better farmer than the Old
man. The boy would become self-support-
ing at an early age, and would grow with
self-reliance and practical knowledge in
stead of that irresolution and indecision
that we too often see. Let fathers take an
interest in their boys and help them to
make. themselves men Of industry and sa-
gacity. Is it not infinitely better to give
the boys this help and start in life than to
wait till you die for your property to be di-
vided, and perhaps, squandered.-Inder-

Mr.. Blaine and the WOrkingmen.

To the Editor Of the Washington Post:
The most absurd thing connected with
this campaign is putting Blaine forward as
the great champion of labor. would just
like some one or more of Mr.. Blaine's ad-
mirers to point out one single measure that
he, during his political life, either as Speak
er or on the floor of the House, ever intro
duced or championed in the interest of the
workingmen. On the contrary, he has al
ways concentrated his talent on some po-
liticai or financial interest. 1t is about
time this bubble was exploded.

1t makes no difference what business you
are engaged in; whether you are preach
