Deceiving the Heather.

l doubt if any one ever heard of an old
fire insurance policy having any value. Yet
almost any business man can produce a
dozen for inspection on a moments notice.
l happened to drop in at the office of Colonel
William Perry Fogg, in White street. the
other day, when he was sorting over his old
policies. He gave me description of how
a fellow traveller with himself in the Orient
had used an expired fire insurance policy to
good advantage. His name was Murray.
He was on board the same ship with Colonel
Fogg when they came to Jaffa, where they
had to make the usual landing by boats to
go to Jerusalem. At the landing place
stood military officer, gorgeous in Eastern
garb, with a magnificent silver-mounted
cimeter in his sash. Murray went ahead.
AS he presented his passport Colonel Fogg
noticed that it had a queer look. But the
officer turned it round and round, upside
down and over and over, as he gazed
blankly at its pages and then gravely re-
turned it with low salaam and a wave of
his hand that indicated his satisfaction in
the correctness of it. When they were out
of hearing and sight of the officer Col
onel Fogg asked to see the passport, and
Murray handed out an old fire insurance
policy. at looks just the same" said
Murray, "and it has signatures and seal
and here is the American eagle. What
more do these heather want? They can't
read, anyhow. Why never think of travel
ing on anything else. "-Ne,c York Tribune.

TANNING RAW SERvANT.--A family in
the pretty suburbs of Scotwood have been
in trouble with their hired girls. They had
a jewel of German girl, who had come
from the East and introduced many little
ideas she had learned there-among Others,
to use Pearline in the laundry and " dust
covers" in the bedrooms. But Louise got
married, and the family has had a series
of incapables ever since. Driven to despera-
ton, the mistress finally secured a coun-
try girl, and determined to train her.
She proved of Yankee descent. and was
constantly experimenting, to find improved
or handler ways of doing her work. She
was told of Louise's methods, and declared
she was "goin' ter see what they were
worth. In cooking she soon excelled. She
took fancy to Pearline, and, aside from
washing and bleaching clothes, did wonders
with it, She washed the furniture with it;
put it in the water to sprinkle carpets be-
fore sweeping; used it to shampoo the
dog; dampened cloth with it to rub the
mantels, the book-covers, etc.; always had
it in her dishwater; washed blinds and
woodwork with it; in short, cleaned every
thing, the house included with it. With
Pearline for an ally, she declares, +" the
cholera won't stand no show round this ere

Presidents Messages.

The plan of the presidents annual mes
sage is not in accordance with the intentions
of the trainers of the Constitution. None Of
them could have believed such an institu-
ton would grow out of the modest provision
which they inserted in the organic law.
There is no reason why the message should
be an annual review of events. No require
ments of the Constitution or of common
sense need make it long or exhaustive. The
president has more than one chance every
year to make himself heard. He may send
in to congress as many messages as he de-
sires. and no one in law is more Especial /"
than the other. The annual message has
been made and addressed to the country,
though the fiction of sending it to congress
is still maintained. Hence its ponderous
tone and appalling length, which have been
thought necessary for a full explanation to
simple and ignorant minds of facts which
they might otherwise never comprehend
Yet the simple and ignorant are the last who
can, without dismay, think of reading so for
midable a state paper, containing so little of
practical interest and so much technical
verbosity and solemn platitude. The Con-
stitution of the United States contains this
provision " He 1.-THE PRESIDENT shall from
time to time give to the congress informa-
ton of the state of the union, and recon-
mend to their consideration such measures
as he shall Judge necessary and expedient"
The definition of the presidents message is
limited in these respects ~ 1t is to be adj
dressed to congress. (2) 1t is to contain in
formation. (3) 1t is to make certain recon-
mendations. In all these particulars the
presidents message of late years has de-
parted from the intention of the trainers of
the Constitution. While it is nominally adj
dressed TO congress, it is really meant for the
perusal of the whole people. While it con-
tains some information, it also embodies
much supertiuous matter in the way of
statistics and a recital of facts which have
been known to congress for months While
it makes some recommendations, it also
raises speculative questions of no practical
value, and it INDUCES in argument and
mere reflections on passing events not fol-
lowed by request for action on the part of
congress- Chicago Tribune.

Thou knOwest a Joy that we cannot conceive
In thy haven OF heavenly rest,
While bending in sorrow we sefshly grieve
And seem to forget thou art blest
Yet, Oh! there's place that can never be filed,
A grief hanging over the heart
grief of the bosom that cannot be stilled,
sorrow that will not depart
Enough III we know that thy spirit Is blest.
The tempests of life we must brave.

And sweetly lie down in the grave.
