PrOnptness.

Half the value of anything to be done
consists in doing it tpromptly. And YET
large class of persons arc more or
less unpunctual and late. Their work
is always in advance of them, and so it
is in their engagements. They are late
in rising in the morning and in going
to bed at night, late at their meals, late
at the counting house or office, late at
church, late at their appointments with
others. Their letters are sent to tho
postoffice just as the mail is closed.
They arrive at the wharf just as the
steamboat is leaving. They come into
the station just as the train is going
out. They do not entirely forget or
omit the engagement or the duty, but
they are always behind the time, and
so are in haste, or rather in hurry, as
if they had been born little too late,
and forever were trying to catch up
with the lost time. They waste time
for themselves. and waste it for others,
and fail of tho comfort and influence
and success which they might have
found in systematic and habitual punct-
uality. A good old lady, who was
asked why she was so early in her sea t
in church, is said to have replied that
it was part OF her religion not to dis
turb the religion of others. And if it
were with all part, both of courtesy
and duty, not to say of religion, never
to be unpunctual, they would save
time for as we'll rs annoyance to others,
and aid themselves to success and in
iluence in thousand ways. Cleveland

The Harmless Gossip.

The harmless gossip who, being good
hearted but empty headed, talks in
cessantly in kindly, bird-witted.
scatter-brained way of all sorts and
conditions of men cannot talk of sub
jccts scientific, literary or historical, for
he knows nothing about them; nor of
things generally, for he is habitually
unobservant; but his whole talk is of
persons. What such one has done,
is doing, is about TO do, would do, or
will do, and what such another has
said, or is saying, and so on through
all the moods and lenses; how Mr..
Gladstone entered Parliament rs a
supralapsarian, but has gono over to
the social democracy, and how no
Duchess of Sutherland would ever have
in her wardrobe less than Ia pocket
handkcrchiefs, every one of which cost
twenty five guineas; how Sir Wilfrid
Lawson in early life tried to be Do
minican, but was sent away because of
his hard drinking and contagious mel
ancholy. Such gossips are, however,
as free from guile or malice rs they are
from common sense or discernmcnt of
what in men or things is credible,
probable or possible. Nothing comes
amiss to them. Gossip they must, by a
second nature. Ii they have anything
to say they will say it; if nothing, it is
all one; they buzz on amiably, sicat

Furniture Woods.

A generation or moro ago the most
admired wood for furniture purposes
was mahogany. Until quito recently
tho taste for mahogany has been hold
in abeyanco, and black walnut has long
reigned the king of tho furniture woods.
Before mahogany controlled the popu-
lar desire, cherry was favorito, and
our white walnut or hickory was used
to considerable extent These old
fashioned woods are coming into favor
again, and very fno effects arc pro-
duced by the contrasts of cherry and
hickory, and by mahogany and hick-
ory. Mahogany and cherry blond ad-
mirably as shades of color instead of
contrasts. The so-callcd "branch" ma
hogany, that in vcneers on the fronts OF
bureaus and in the frames of mirrors
formerly produced such impossible Of.
focts of grain, has given place to that
Of plain straight grain. the effect of col
or rather than of grain being desired.
Except yellow and black birch and
the satin and birdseye maple, there aro
few Of our native woods that show q
very distinctive grain. This makes
them valuable as foils to the more or.
ratio grained woods of tho tropics, One
of these, the coco bolo, of a deep red
color, with broad striated grain, works
up beautifully with the cherry, making
complement of tints, or with tho
hickory, showing n contrast of color
and of grain.
According to the statement of a
prominent dealer in furniture woods,
our cherry and hickory are coming
rapidly into demand, and for foreign
woods tho mahogany and the compare.
lively little known coco boio arc much
called for by makers of fine furniture,
carvers, and internal tinishcrs. .-Scien,

REAL clvIL-SERVIcE REFORM.
How Old Wormw0od GOodboy Applied the

How Old Wormwood Goodboy Applied the
Rules to His Son, Leonidas.
BY the way, you remember young
Leonidas Goodboyp Old Wormwood
Goodboy's son, nice chap; smart, and
well behaved as n rule. He went away
to college only last month and came
back home last week for ten days visit.
He said it was the ''short vacation"
Old Wormwood had never been to col
lege in his life, but he surmised that
something was short beside the vaca-
ton. So one day, after Leonidas had
called his mother ''Dame" once or twice,
and addressed his father as "Governor"
and Cow" called his sister "gummy,"
and slapped his little brother, the old
man took him away into an exceeding
dark and lonesome woodshed, and while
he stood there, cutting the buckle off
skate strap in an awfully solemn way,
he told Leonidas that since he went
away in December, there had been a
popular revolution in the house; that
the people had successfully inaugurated
through civil-service referm; that it
was Just little the thoroughest and
civiliest he had ever seen; that the rules
of the service were most rigidly and
most civily enforced, and that Section 1,
Article /, was that the Oldest man in the
house was boss; and Section 2, same
article, was that sass is sass, whether 1t
came from tramp, a hired girl, or a
college President; that
"Take off your coat, Leonidas, my
son." said old Wormwood; and then
and there made practical application
of the rules of the civil service with
a directness that showed that his
right arm had not forgot It's cum
ming, and that skate strap Glove
to the roof of Leonidas' scholarly
back like cleays of the forest for num-
ber The applicant was declared ad-
mittcd, under the rules, and he goes
back To college tomorrow, ciyilly-re-
formed boy. Hep oh, bless you, no, he
doesn't want TO so back, but he has to.
under tho rules, and he doesn't kick.
Old Wormwood is going with him. -R-
