IMPROVE The ODD MOMENTS.

In almost every life there are
moments of waiting, when there
is nothing particular to be done.
In some cases these may be pro-
perly improved by rest SO that
our work, when it comes, may
be the better done. In many
instances, however, these ocd
moments may be best improved
by having something to do-a
book to read, or some light la
Dor to perform.

1t is surprising how much
may he doue by using n few
moments at n time. OF course
they cannot pOperly be used
for all purposes, since there are
some duties which require cons
tinued application tor a long
time. There are, however, many
kinds of light labor, and many
subjects of study, which may
be followed quite successfully
by taking only few moments
at u time.
1t is said that Elihu Burritt,
who was known tor many years
as "the learned blacksmith"
was in the habit, when an ap-
rcntice boy of having a gram
mar of English or some other
language fastend before him on
the chimney of the forge, so
that while he was blowing the
bellows he could get an occa-
sional glimpse of his book.
Zen Johnson, q celebrated
poet who lived over two hum
dred years ago, was in early lite
a brick layer. 1t is SAID that he
always carried a book in his
pocket and while waiting for
the laborer to bring him mortar
or brick he improved the. odd
moments in studying his book.
Let our young friends try the
experiment and they will be
surprised to see how much can
be done by rightly using a few
moments at time. You need
not take tine from sleep to do
this. Have a time for every
thing, and what you do do thor
oughly, whether it be sleeping,
eating, working or playing, for
all these are, in their respective
places, right.-Ex.

PRANK B. LIffRELL.

Will Hays wrote and Published in the
Courrier-Journal of the 9th, the following
tribute to the late Frank b. Ltt-ell:
Frank Iittrell dead? Why knew Frank
I've known him twenty years.
know it don't look manly like
To see a man in tears,
But can't help it, if they come
And down my rough cheeks steal,
All, they kin tell ye better, sir,
Than kin how feel!
That man, sir, was friend o rnine'
Idon't believe that God
Has ever put better man
Than Frank beneath the sod;
An let me tell you, pardner, Frank
Had nothin' to conceal,
Just as ye seed him thar he wus
On shore or at the wheel.
When death tuck Frank they put his form
Beneath the Southern sod,
To sleep beside his little girl
Whose soul went home to God;
An you kin bet yer life, an win,
That angels watched an smiled
When lovin' hans laid Frank away
To sleep Iongside his child.
A better pilot never stood
"a watch up at the wheel;
In times of danger You can swar
That Frank would never ''squeal.'
He knew his business, an you bet
That he was cool an brave;
He never f1ickered when death came
He didn't fear the grave.
I've alters hearn Tom feathers say
He had no fear to feel
About the Natchez runnin' right
When Frank was at the wheel.
DAYTIME or night, in calm or storm,
The Captain felt and knew
That if a boat could run at all
That Frank would put her through.
Bnt Frank is gone-he's made the trip
OF life an gone ashore,
Whar many man has quit the trade
An landed thar before.
He climbed the bank-gone out of sight
An angels stand an wait
To welcome all sech men as him
And pass 'em through the gate.
Goodbye, old friend, I'll miss you now
On boats we both run on,
An when see the pilot-house-
Look up, an find you gone
All, Frank. twill nearly break my heart;
How sad twill make me feel
Ter see another man up thar,
An, Won cone from the wheel.

IEHHY LIMBS H0HE.

Since Jenny Llnd-GoldSmlIt
left Wimbledon she has resided
more or less at Malvern, and in
the summer of last year she
bought the house at Burstncr's
Cross which was erected q few
years ago by a Capt. johnson,
who blasted away the rocks
which he hurled down the
great gully which ::forms the
southeastern defense of the great
camp of the Herefordshire Bea-
con. The house is built in this
rocky quarry. Fine shrubs grow
around it. There are pleasant
walks sheltered from the bleak
north and south winds, which
here some thousand feet above
the sea level, swirl and rave at
will. From the house can be
heard at times the innocent rev.
elry at Peter Pockets humble
bolstery, so we'll known to tout
lists. The climbers over the old
ramparts can look down on the
pleasant house with its green
verandas. The students of the
earth's crust, the incipient Muir
chisons, Sedgwicks and Lyells
look wistfully at the rude pillar
of dark stone lett by the quar-
rymen in the grounds; for it is
the core of the hills-a speci-
men of Laurentian gneiss, a rel
ic of the primeval land, the old
est stratified rock which had
been upheaved by the eruption
which formed the Plutonic ridge
which forms the Malvern chain
ofhills. It was cvnsummate taste
that led our nightingale to this
nest. There is no place in En-
gland where such scenery, such
surroundings, and such associ-
atoms can be found blended in
one harmonious whole. The
Weald of Kent might vie with
the eastern view; but you have
to go further afield to match
the western slopes. From the
Forest of Dean to the Black
mountains, from Robin Hoods
butts to the far off Salopian
hills, is the orchard land of En-
gland-billows of land, washed
escarped by ancient seas. As
you gaze on the scene from all
most Cyclopean ramparts, you
are reminded that at your feet !
a golden crown was found, lost |
in some combat for the posses
sion of those heights. On the
slopes in the mid-distance
Prince Edward Longshanks es-
caped from his captors after the
battle of Lewes. You can see
The site of Wigmore, where Nor
inner earl OF March awaited
aim. You can see the line of his
march to circumvent the great
earl of Leicester, as we'll as the
green hills of Evesham, where
The father of English parlia-
nents lost bis lite. On these
