In SCHOOL DAYS.


SIN sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around 1t still the sumacs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep Scared by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jsck-knife's carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on its walls,
Its doors worn sill betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago, winter sun
Shone over 1t at setting,
Lit up Its western window-panes,
And low caves Icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of growing.
or one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered,
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice.
As ifa fault confessIng.
I'm sorry that spelt the word,
hate to go above you,
Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see, I love yots,'
Still memory to gray haired man
That sweet child face is showing,
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, In life's hard school.
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph. and his loss
Like her-because they love him.

How TO BURN CoAL.-As winter is upon
us, and as much fuel is wasted in the man.
ner of replenishing coal fires, both in fur
naces and CRATES, it would be well to try
the following rule, copied from an ex-
change:
"They should be fed with little coal at
time, and often. But servants, to save
time and trouble, put on great deal at
once, the first result being that almost all
the heat is absorbed by the newly put-on
coal, which does not give out heat until it
becomes red hot. Hence, for awhile the
room is cold, but when it becomes aglow the
heat is insufferable. The time to replenish
a fire is as soon as the Goals begin to show
ashes on their surface; then put on merely
enough to show layer of black coal on thes
red This will soon kindle, and as there is
not much of it, an excess Of heat will not
be given out. Many also put out the fire
by stirring the CRATE as soon as fresh coal is
put on, thus leaving all heat in the ashes,
when it should be sent to the new supply
of coal. The time to stir the fire is just
when the new coal is well kindled. This
method of managing a coal fire is trouble
some, but it saves fuel, gives more uniform
heat, and prevents the discomfort of altern-
alton Of heat and cold above referred to.

CHURCH RULES FOR LADIES.
BY ANN HOWARD,


Dress hard all morning-such is fato;
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on you,
Nor fail to see your bonnet new.
Let all your thoughts be fixed on high,
And re-arrange your cardinal tie.
Think how religions prone to bless,
And closely scan your neighbours dress.
Then let your heart be filled with grace,
And notice old Mrs. Migle's lace.
Put from your mind all thought OF sin.
And readjust your diamond pin.
Think of how choice religion proves,
And then smooth out your buttoned gloves
Invoke an influence divlne,-
That lady's basque-mark the design.
Let tender peace possess your mind.
And careful note that hat behind.
Catch we'll the precepts as they fall.
And smooth the wrinkles on your shawl.
Think of the sinners awful fate,
And notice If your bonnet's straight.
Reflect on christian graces dear,
And fix the curls behind your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer
And view that horrid green silk there.
Reflect upon the wicked ways,
See If your gold charms out Of place.
Think ofthe place the good will find,
A n a., ,l,1 r,f =
Think of the burdens Christians bear,
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with contrite heart,
And fix you pull-back before you startl

throughout the early geological ep-
ochs, known as Archaear, Silurian

tinues to be enveloped in cloud of
uncertainty. tits absolutely impossible
to predict what day may bring forth.
No sooner had the people begun to be-
come reconciled to the idea of submit
ting the difficulty to arbitration than
reports began to prevail questioning
the probability of there being any ar
bitraton after all the talk as to the
great things it was about to accom-
plish. No one processes to understand
what the precise condition of the ne
gotiations with Russia may be. The
average Englishman finds it diff
ficult, if not absolutely impossible, to
disabuse himself of the feeling that,
whatever Gladstone and Granville
may say to the contrary, the Russian
diplomatists are getting the better of
the British. Every delay in the me-
gotiations has redounded to Russia's

been talking, the Russian railway has

have seized the debatable territory.

or obscure them with a cloud of

CALIFORNIA.
This State attracts much attention
at the Worlds Fair. While the State
only gave $4,000 towards defraying
the expenses, Col. Andrews, the
United States Commissioner, presents
an exhibit which has cost S5O,OUO to
bring here, collect and pat up. He
secured 2l,OOO square feet, which is
the second largest space allotted any
State in the Union. Here may be
seen the State collection of minerals
in twenty four glass cases, very rich
and very rare. In addition to the
States mineral display he has on ex-
hibit private cabinets. The Comm's-
sioner has not only given handsomely
Of his own private funds to place and
maintain the California exhibit but he
has brought here from his own ''Dla-
mond Palace" some magnificent works
OF art, the most valuable OF which is
a representation Of the dome Of the
Pantheon in Paris. 1t contains TWEEN
ty-two and three-quarter pounds of
gold, and the six hundred pieces OF
polished quartz used in its construc-
ton is all that is left of one and half
ton Of the purest specimens Califor-
MIA produces. 1t took two years and
five days labor to get it up and cost
$4,000. Another realistic work OF
art shown III the same case Is the
s.bear, miner and mineral cabinet. )"
The cabinet contains two hundred
mineral specimens in the form OF a
pyramid with the apex cut off so as to
hold and support the figures repre-
senting the bear and the miner. The
miner, who is busy with pick and pan
| is surprised at his work by a monster
bear and takes to tree close by,
while the bear, reared on his hind
legs, is looking up the tree. Some
other fine, rich and useful ornaments,
such as necklaces, brooches, bracelets,
cuff buttons, etc, made from polished
quartz. All the material used in the
different articles manufactured by
Col. Andrews at his diamond Palace
and shown here are made from Cali
fornia minerals and are samples of the
productions of his State. Col An
drcws aud his estmable wife keep
open house at their Exposition Offices
which are handsomely furnished and
fitted up for the reception of the pub
lie. Two hundred boxes of oranges,
many cases OF wines and thousands of
jars of fine fruits have been given
away, and many who had never gave
