Union Good TempIar Meeting.

The meeting on this evening OF Friendship
Lodge will no doubt be one OF the most inter-
esting meetings held in the northeast section,
as both Minnehaha and George W. Salter
lodges Will, in body, pay a fraternal visit.
AS the lodges are all strong In membership
ana possess large amount of talent the meet
Ing this evening will be such as even with tho
present live interest is but seldom seen,
The GOOD TempIars' Work.
The growing interest manifested In the tom.
perance meetings that have been held under
tho auspices OF the Good Templars shows that
they have supplied n want and the church IL 10
BIO Congratulated upon the successes that have
attended this departure. Tho meeting on last
evening was the largest yet held. The attrac-
tive little church was completely nllod with
an audience that entered fully1nto sympathy
with the speaker OF the evening, Rev. J. b.
Wilson, who delivered powerful and earnest
temperance address. The interest OF the meet
ing was considerably enhanced by beautiful
recitation by Miss Bessie Perry, delivered In
that talented lady's best style. IL Is TO be
hoped that any assignment the conference
may make for this church VIII not Interfere
with these meetings, which are great help to
the church, beside doing much good which
could not be done oXcopt through the present
cooperation.

YOUNG HEARTS.

What though the years are flying fast
And silver sprinkles through the hair,
And crows feet come and wrinkles last
In spite of pride's most jealous care;
That with reluctance we confess
And "Growing old p escapes the tongue
So plain truth should not distress
IT'S nothing II the heart is young.
That we have errors to regret
is but the common lot of all;
There's something to be lived for yet,
To struggle on, whate'er befall.
IT'S useless that above the past
The dirges of remorse are rung--
Well fight old time until the last,
And triumph while the heart is young.
While life exists the light Of hope
Should never be obscured by gloom,
But brighten all our horoscope
Until our footsteps touch the tomb
The Oldest still have truths to learn,
So faith should never be unstrung;
Our little lamps will CHEEKY burn
AS long as e'cr the heart Is young.
And how shall hearts be kept in green
When cheeks are sunk and eyes are dim,
When age brings on the days Of spleen
And memory croons funeral hymn
BY finding means of doing good,
BY soothing souls with sorrow stung;
Thus age and death are long withstood,
And thus our hearts are ever young.

Regularity of Habit.

One of the most difficult Of all the
minor habits to acquire is that of regu-
larity. II ranks with that Of order.
IA place for everything and everything
in its place" is not more important than
ga time for everything and everything
on time The natural inclination OF
most persons is to defer until tho last
possible moment, or to put off till an
other time where this can possibly be
done. Yet habits of regularity con-
tribute largely to the case and comfort
of life. A person can multiply his eff
cheney by it, We know persons who
have multitude Of duties, and who
perform a vast deal of work daily, who
set apart certain hours for given duties,
aud are there ut the moment and attend
rigidly TO what is in hand. This done
and other engagements are met, each in
order, and vast deal accomplished, not
by strained cxertion but by regularity.

clearly contested contest was had, and il APP

spectators developed the iuct that the follow

An ingenious English manufacturer
has, by simple and workable inven-
ton Of coiled springs, succeeded in dis
pensing with the need OF driving sew

speed over an hour. 1T is completely
under control as to the rate Of stitch
ing and stopping, and can he applied
to any existing machine at moderate
cost.
Among the new applications of cot
ton is its use, in part, in the construc-
ton Of houses, the material employed
for this purpose being the refuse, which,
when ground up with about an equal
amount OF straw and asbestos, is con-
verted into paste, and this is formed
into large slabs or bricks, which ac-
qllire, it is said, the hardness of stone
and furnish really valuable building

The Old GentIeman's Mistake.

''Nice child, very nice child" OBJ
served an old gentleman, crossing the
aisle and addressing the mother Of the
boy who had just hit him in the eye
with wad Of paper. ''How old are
you, my son?" ''None Of your businessl
replied the youngster, taking aim at an
other passenger. ''Fine boy" smiled
the old man, as the parent regarded her
offspring with pride. IA remarkably
fine boy. What is your name, my son?'
'.Puddin' Tamei" shouted tie young
ster, with giggle at his own wit. Il
thought so,' continued the old man,
pleasantly. IF you had given me
three guesses at it, that would have
been the first one ! would have struck
on Now Puddin', you can blow those
things pretty straight, can't vou?"
''You bet'' iuealed the boy, delighted
at the compliment. ,,..see me take that
old fellow ever thereh' 'iNo, noni ex-
claimed the old gentleman, hastily.
''Try it on the old woman | was sitting
with. She has boys of her own, and
she won't mind" "Can't you hit the
" for the gentleman, Johnny?'
asked the fond parent. Johnny drew a
bead and landed the pellet right on the
end Of the old woman's nose. But she
did mind it, and rising in her wrath
scared down on the small boy like q
blizzard. She put him over the line,
reversed him, ran him backward till he
didn't know which end Of him was
front, and finally dropped him into the
lap Of the scared mother, with bene-
diction whereof the purport was that
she'd be back in a moment and skin
him alive. '.She didn't seem to like it,,
Puddin'," smiled the old gentleman
softly, ''She's perfect stranger to me,
but I understand she is matron Of q
truants' home, and | thought she would
| like a littla fun; but | was mistaken I"
And the old gentleman sighed sweetly
as he went back to his seat.-Jersey-
