TOpnOOdy.

Mr.. Topnoody and his wife went to
hear the Abbott Opera Company one
night during the week, and after they
had come home, Mr.. Topnoody remarked
to his wife:
my dear, | have just been thinking
that l could sing. Yon know when we
were younger, you frequently enjoyed by
ballads"
81 was very young, then, Topnoody."
Il know it, my dear, and for that rea-
son l think the years that have improved
your judgment and taste, have also i'm
proved my voice. and you will find great
er pleasure in it now than ever"
Il am quite content to feed my musi-
cal taste on memory, in this instance,
Topnoudy."
"But, my dear, l want to sing"
Its Just like you, Topnoody, to want
to make my life a burden, and if you
can't do it one way you must hunts up
some other way. and now it's singing"
YOU didn't seem to be hurt much when
L sang the other night"
Il concealed my feelings, but the
neighbors came over next morning and
wanted to know if anybody had turned
a lonesome mule louse in eur back yard"
81 don't care if they did. I'm not sing
ing for the neighbors, and I'm going to
sing.
"Well, now. Topnoody, say you
shan'tl l don't care for the neighbors ei-
ther, but L care for myself, and when my
husbands singing knocks the plastering
off, stops the clock, puts the piano out OF
tune, takes the curl out of my hair, gives
the dog the toothache, makes dust brush
of the cats tail. pulls the tacks out of the
capet, gives the hired girl the jimJams,
twists the hinges off the doors, and turns
the milk sour, in self-defense, l say the
music has got to stop. or divorce proceed
ings will be instituted at once, and JUS
tice shall be done at least one member OF

Ill scratch match on your voice and
kindle it, if a need it"
Mr.. Topnoody obeyed.

THE WINTERS.

We did not fear them once; the dull
gray mornings
No cheerless burden on our spirits laid /;
The long night watches did not bring US
warnings
That were tenants of house decayed.
The early SHOWS like dreams to US de-
scended;
The frost did fairy work on pane and
bough;
Beauty, and power, and wonder have
not ended -
How is it that we fear the winters
now?
Their home fires fall as bright en- hearth
and chamber,
Their northern starlight shines as
coldly clear;
The woods still keep their holly for De-
cember,
The world welcome, yet, for the new
year,
And far away in old remembered pla
The snow-drop rises and the robin
The sun and moon look out with loving
faces;
Why have our days forgot these good
ly things?
Alas. dear friends, the winter is within
us,
Hard is the ice that grows about the
heart,
With petty cares and vain regrets that
win us
From life's true heritage and better
part.

A FlRST-CLASS FAMILY MAGAZINE !
.LIPPINCOTT'O MAGAZINE .
A POPULAR MONTHLY OF GENERAL LITERATURE!
PROSPECTUS FOR 1884.

Among the chief periodicals of the country,
Lippincott's Magazine has acquired the distinc-
tive reputation of.being ''eminently readable. p"
The special aim of its conductors is to secure
such treatment of the great variety of topics
embraced within its scope as shall render it at
tractive to the general mass Of intelligent read
ers, favorite in the family circle and means
of culture as well as of entertainment.
While fiction, in the form of serials and of
short stories, holds a prominent place in its
pages, it has gained particular notice by its
sketches of travel and adventure, studies of
life and character, and articles on natural his
tory and similar topics, written with the fresh
ness that comes from personal observation and
experience, in lively style, and with abundant
anecdotical illustration.
The arrangements for the coming year in
clude an unusual number of contributors de-
voted to outdoor life, places and persons OF
note, and other subjects OF general interest, by
both new and old contributors TO the Magazine.
Several short serials will form a feature of
the Magazine during the year, including story
of Artist Life in New York, by Lizzie W.
Champney, and IA story depicting the exDer-
fences Of an American family residing in Eng
land, by F. g. Baylor. Further arrangements
are now in progress, and will be hereafter an
nounced.

The best time for grating the craps

of sap has abated.
1t is a question if feeding peas to hogs
does not pay better than corn. They art
more easily raised, produce more, anC
are surer crop.
Cows when giving milk are more sen
sitive to the cold than when they are
dry. and exposure to severe cold inter
feres with the secretion of milk.
Professor Brown, OF the Ontario Ag
ricultural College, states that for the
fast and cheap production of pork raw
peas are so per cent. better than cooked
peas or Indian corn in any form.
A pedigree does not necessarily make
an animal excellent. The value of ped
igree consists solely in the ability tO
trace the progenitOrs OF an animal in
c.rtain well defined lines for longer or
shorter period of time, or to the first au'
thentic fol nation of breed, or to some
real and well established animal

There is much that is suggestive in
the statement that near Bellefonte, Pa.
there was a few years ago an immense
pear tree, with trunk two feet in di.
ameter. The tree had been set sevent,
years, and for sixty years had not failed
to produce a crop of fruit, while Other
trees of the same time had died of old
age some years before. This remarkable
tree had always had by its side an ash
leach, from which considerable guam
tity of potash in the form of lye had es,
capped and found its way to the root OF
the pear tree. Thus the potash had
kept the tree alive, vigorous, and PRO

Two plans of Tariff reduction are said
to be nearly ready for presentation to
the Ways and Means Committee-one
by Col. Morrison, proposing a reduction
of duties of from ten to twenty per cent,
with additions to the free list, and
the other by Abram S. Hewitt. which
takes the lowest rates in recently pro-
posed Tariff legislation, and makes a
schedule of duties on this basis. Thus,
he presents in parallel columns the du-
ties of the old Tariff, the House and
Senate bills of last session, the Tariff
Commissions bill, now a law Iu his

duties contained in these five measures,

Nothing with God can be accidental
The grief of tomorrow is not to be
eaten to-day.
Never shirk the effort which is requir-
ed to live corr ectly.
Every day is little life, and our whole
life is but day repeated.
He who knows only his own side of the
case, knows little of that.
Fear not the threats of the great, but
rather the tears of the poor.
1t is the great art and philosophy of
life to make the best of the present.
If you would not cease to love man
kind. you must not to do them good.
Take life just as God gives it to you,
and make it as beautiful as you can.
The soul is not poisoned by mere errors
of the head, but by evils of the heart.
The moment man is satisfied with
him.
\ compliment IS usually accompanied
with bow, as if to beg pardon for say
ing it.
That virtue which needs anchoring,
makes its possessor like ship moored
among the breakers.
Our evil genius, like the junior mem
Der of deliberative body, always gives
its views first.
Of all the evil spirits abroad at this
hour in the world, insincerity is by far
the most dangerous.
1t is very popular saying that we
should put off to day what we ought to
have done yesterday.
When one becomes so conceited that
he can't be taught, he and fool wear the
same style of cap.
Childhood views life through the mag
nifyipg end of the telescope, while age
looks through the other end.
Dare to change your mind, confess your
error, and alter your conduct, when con
vinced that you are wrong.
|. The road to ambition is too narrow for
friendship too crooked for love. too rugged
for honesty and too dark for science.
As we grow in years and experience,
we become more tolerant, for it is rare to
see fault we have not ourselves COM

THE WIND AND THE MOON.

Said the Wind to the Moon, Il will blow
you out.
You stare
In the air
Like ghost in a chair,
ALWAYS looking what | am about;
hate to be watched;I will blow you out.
The wind blew hard, and out went the
moon.
So deep,
On heap,
OF clouds to sleep.
Down lay the Wind. and slumbered soon
Muttering low, I've done for that Moon.
He turned in his bed; she was there again;
On high
In the sky.
With her one ghost eye,
The Moon shone white and alive and
Said the Wind, 81 will blow you out
again"
The Wind blew hard and the Moon grew
dim.

And my wedge

To blow her to snuff
One good puff more where the last was

And glimmer. glimmer, glum will go the

He blew great blast and the thread was
gone;
In the air
Nowhere
Was mUonbeam bare;
Far off and harmless the shy stars shone
Sure and certain the moon was gone!
The Wind he took to his revels once more
On down,
In town,
Like merry-mad clown
He leaped and halloed with whistle and
"Whnt's that?" The glimmering thread
once more.
He few in rage-he danced and blew
But in vain
Was the pain
OF his bursting brain:
For still the broader the moon-scrap grew
The broader he swelled his big cheeks
and blew.
Slowly she grew-till she filled the night
And alone
On her throne
In the sky alone,
A matchless, wonderful, silvery light,
Radiant and lovely, the queen of the
night.
Said the Wind, what marvel of power
am L.
With my breath,
Good faith!
l blew her to death
First blew her away right out of the sky
Then blew her in, what strength am II
But the Moon, she knew nothing about
the affair;
For high
In the sky,
With one white eye,

She had never heard the great Wind
