VISITING CARDS FOR P00DLES.

Going into friends house a short
time since, says a writer in The
Boston Transcript, l noticed among
the cards which had been recently
left one of ininitesimal dimensions,
and, being in an inquisitive mood,
asked, "Who on earth used such
small card?" My friend laughed,
and passed me the tiny card, and l
saw engraved in delicate characters
"Miss Blonde Poodle After l
had studied the characters for some
time my friend handed me another
card, which bore the name OF mu-
tual acquaintance, and after a few
moments deliberation remembered
that she possessed poodle which
she had named "Blondie. Light
began to dawn upon my benighted
wits, and upon questioning my friend
found it was quite "the thing" to
carry the card of ones pet dog and
leave it with ones own at intimate
friends houses. / made but one
audible comment at the informa-
ton; still holding the two cards in
my hand and looking at them,
said: "And ! thought her sensi,

CREDuLITY AND REASONING.

Whatever conclusion we adopt
respecting this matter, the signifi-
cant fact remains that consciousness
is certain to appear in connection
with nerve-matter sooner or later
the question of a strictly waterfalls
tic Interpretation must be faced.
After ascertaining the present state
of the case with regard to localiza-
tons of functions in the cerebrum,
the induction must be drawn as to
the nature of the relation between
nerve matter and consciousness.
Grant that this induction shall be
more or less speculation, we need,
/ think, to remember that all reason
ing is speculative, from the nature
of the case speculative, and that the
only distinction between credulity
and reasoning is this, that credulity
is both beyond the facts and con-
trary to the facts, while reasoning is
beyond the facts but according to
the facts.-Pref. W. II. BENEDICT

RECONCILIATION.

The Washington Post (Demo-
cratic), in speaking of the kindly
feeling entertained toward General
Grant in the South says: When
Grant declined to take the sword of
Lee and told his vanquished warriors
to 60 home and take their horses
with them--the better to raise their
crops-he touched o chord of recon-
ciliation. which, through all the
years of partisan strife that followed
in the work of reconstruction, never
ceased to vibrate between the SOL
diers of the two armies. The spirit
that prompted the Richmond resolu-
tons of coincidence was born of the
surrender at Appomattox."

The cultivation of those faculties
in which we are deficient is duty
which most of us wish to perform,
but, we rarely suspect how much of
this may be done by the simple pre-
sence of suitable surroundings. For
example, ain unsocial or an unsympa-
thetic man may struggle as long as
he viii with his defect without sue
cess while he shuts himself up from
society. He must be with and among
his fellow men if he is ever to share
their joys and sorrows. He certain
ly can never love those whom he will
not know nor have kindly sentiments
to those he never meets.

growing counties Of the state. The figures
show the yield to be under previous esti

million bushels or about three-sevenths Of

there be over half crop. Six counties vii
give quarter of crop and the remainder
will not give more than an eighth of a crop
The probabilities are that next years acreags

Moral More Than Material.

The only way of elevating society
is by elevating man, and you can not
elevate man by making him machine
and concentrating his aspirations on
his appetites. Material independence
is the basis, but it is not the apex, of
human dignity and development. A
population absorbed in the feverish
race for subsistence must be stunted
and deformed. If it is to be raised
its soul as well as it's body must be
fed. It's physical wants are frequently
but the manifestations of moral de
fects and mental delinquencies. The
first can best be supplied by healing
the latter. Rome was ruined when
its rulers came to care only for their
suppers and their fish-ponds, and
when its citizens came to crave only
for idleness, largess of corn, and Cir
censian games. States prosper just
in the degree that they are morally
strong. It is the moral that moulds
the physical strength. All commun-
tiles that have accepted the sordid
and isolating creed of ssfood and
amusements" have rotted and perish
ed. =. It is the Gordons and not
the Crnsuses OF the earth that stir
the pulses of mankind He who
came from Nazareth propounded no
projectsgof worldly qualification or
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but he laid down
some maxims which have shaken en-
pires and changed the face of the
earth. We should not seek to
impose passive uniformity, but to
generate sustaining spirit. We
cannot do that by the barren utilitar-
ianism of the economist, or the decep-
tive utopias of the cosmopolites. The
one inferferes too little, the other too
much. -. Under the one, there
would be no society, but an incoher-
ent aggregation of individuals. Under
the other, society would be organized
on an immovable model. There would
be the bones and muscles, but intel
lect and imagination would be petri-
fed. The form would be there, but
the Promethean fire that gives life it's
vitality would be wanting. ~. The
democracy of the future should have
higher prototypes than either sloths
or beavers. 1t should seek, not the
highest happiness, but the highest
nobleness, and happiness will follow
as certainly as night the day. Man
owes his growth to his conflict with
difficulty. 1t is not what he has, but
what he is, that constitutes his glory
and his bliss.-Mr. Coscen, III. u.

"Not a doubt of it,"
Such were the open slurs, or cow

the beautiful stranger by women who
would almost have given their very

places with her.
But Miss Allaire lived her pleas

conscious of it all. He beauty was
undeniable. The golden hair, the
dark, lustrous eyes, the ivory-white

dignified, was not naughty. Pleas
ant to all, she received the lavish at
tentions ofthe gentlemen with charm

poured in upon her were unhesita-

But day came when Miss Allaire
awoke to find herselfopenly sighted

envious tongues had whispered

most MISUNDERSTANDING old

Instantly conjecture was on tip

concluded, with his hand pressed
dramatically to his heart. Heaven

During this pretty speech Miss
Allaire had stepped backs pace or
two, and stood listening, with down
dropped eyes, withouta single inter-
ruption.
Now, as he finished, the Colonel
looked up into those glorious dark
eyes, expecting to see them luminous
with love and bliss. But, alas to
his infinite surprise and mortifica-
ton he read in their dark depths

him, coolly. "If you had deigned

And the bored, listless expression
which succeededto the look ofamuse-
ment on her beautiful face warned
the crestfallen Adonis that he had
better take his departure. He did
so, biting his lip under his silken
mustache, and muttering curses
"not loud, but deep"
1t was an unheard -ofthing for him
to be treated in that manner by any
of the sex.
Next day there was fresh arri-
