PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The history of every discovery. of
svery enterprise of benevolence. of
avery reform, is the history Of toll and
watching through long discourage
ments.
He who waits for an opportunity to
DO much at once may breathe out his
life in idle wishes. and regret in the
last hour his useless intentions and
barren zeal.
IT'S good rule in every journey TO
provide some piece of liberal study to
rescue the hours which bad weather,
bad company and taverns steal from
the best economist.
Wonderous is the strength Of cheer
fulness, and altogether past calcula-
ton are its powers of endurance. Eff
forts, to be permanently useful, must
be uniformly joyous-a spirit all sun
shine, graceful from very gladness.
beautiful because bright.
Consistency is an acquired habit,
and of slow growth. The conditions
necessary for its acquisition are right
and fixed principles of faith and NOR
ais. sincerity, simplicity, singleness of
aim, contentment, high temper enough
not to be trified with. honest pride,
temperance and fortitude.
We admire the frugal man for his
frugality and the liberal man for his
liberality; but how seldom we find the
man who unites them both in full and
equal measured Yet these two quail
ties are perfectly consonant and har-
monious, and each thrives better for
the presence of the other
Physical health is not final end in
itself, but very important means to
the development of character and life.
1t is our duty to seek health and to
prize it, not only for it's own sake, but
for the possibilities it opens up to US
of expanding into higher manhood
than any in its power to bestow.
When one is bilious. other peoples
complexion looks yellow, and one Of
their eyes higher than the other-all
the fault Of ones own evil interior
It seems to me much better to read a
mans own writing than to read what
one says about him, especially when
the man is first-rate and the 'others"
are third-rate.

Grant and the Kentucky Ladies'.

Grant and the Kentucky Ladies.
Tie Kentucky women are as en-
thusiastic about horses as the men.
They unhesitatingIy place the horses
before themselves as the great attrac-
tons of the state. remember hear
ing a conversation between General
Grant and Kentucky girl at the st
Louis Merchants Exchange in 1875,
when President Grant was visiting
the st. Louis fair. A number of
ladies were introduced to the Presi-
dent, whereupon he spoke in very
high terms Of st. Louis, the fair, sc.
You are mistaken, Mr.. President
we are not from st. Louis" laughing
" said one of the girls, I'VE are from
Kentucky, very fine state. you know,
which possesses three things all men
Of taste must appreciate" SmilingIy,
the President asked her what they
were. She answered: 1--WE have the
fastest horses. the prettiest women
and tie finest whiskey in the world. >
The President replied: "Your horses
are certainly justly renowned: I have
some On my farm near here; yourself
and party prove the correctness Of
your second observation, but whiskey

and your men consume Il 50 fast that

Canarles and Red Pepper.

Norwich, Norfolk, England, is noted
for the canary birds raised there, on
account Of the melodious notes these
birds MARBLE; also for the beautiful
color of their plumage. Quite COM
motion was created in this old city,
through some breeders of canaries
from Bradford, Yorkshire. exhibiting
In st. Andrews Hall, Norwich, birds
of a very dark orange color. All who
saw the birds noticed what a lovely
color the feathers were, also the very
full song the birds possessed; but what
caused the fine color of plumage was q
puzzle. Some experts alleged that the
birds had been painted or stained. The
birds were submitted to an eminent
chemist, B. Sutton. Esq, who found no
foundation for the charge. After
some time had passed, however, a very
old Norwich breeder Of canaries found,
in examining the food the birds ate,
that powdered capsicnm or red pepper
was mixed with the food. and that
birds eating the cayenne soon changed
the color of their plumage
1t is well known that the native
birds are very fond Of these peppers.
hence their being sometimes called
..bird-peppers." It would be interest
ing if some Of our bird-fanciers would
try the effect of feeding more or less of
this pepper with their other bird
food. ascertain the proper proportion
that would produce the best results.

BERTHINE'S RUSE..

forest as the snow fell upon the trees,
fine snow that made their branches
appear as if covered with an icy moss.
Before the door Of house young
woman was chopping wood. She was
tall, and, though slender, was strong
She was child of the forest.
A voice was heard coming from the
house." Berthine, you should come in
soon, for there are Prussians and
wolves roaming about"
Berthine replied. as she split block
of wood with a powerful stroke, II
have finished, mother. / am coming
am coming. 1t is still light"
Then she carried in the wood, went
out again to fasten the oaken doors of
the shed. and again entered the house,
fastening the large bolts of the door.
Her mother, an old woman whom
age had rendered .imorous. sat near
the fire spinning.
81 like it not" she said, when the
father is away. Here we are, two de-
fenceless women"
"Ahl" replied her daughter, as she
glanced toward a large revolver sus-
pended over the fireplace, II can easily
kill a wolf or PURSUANT is all the
same"
Berthine's husband had joined the
army at the beginning Of the Prussian
invasion, and she lived with her moth
er and father, the old forester, Nicho-
las Pichon. who had obstinately refused
to quit his woodland dwelling for the
town.
The nearest town was Rethel, an an
cient stronghold perched upon rock.
The inhabitants were patriots and had
decided to resist the invaders. They
had procured cannons and muskets
and equipped a militia The soldiers
were drilled daily by M. Lavigne. the
haDerdasher, who was an ex-officer of
dragons.
Thus they awaited the arrival of the
Prussians, but the Prussians did not
appear. They were not far of, how
ever, for twice already their scouts
had pushed through the wood as far
as the house of Nicholas Pichon, which
was the outpost in the forest of Ave-
line. Twice each week Pichon went
to town for provisions and informed
the citizens of whatever. had occurred
in his neighborhood. He had gone to
town this very morning to announce
that two days before a small detach-
ment of German infantry had halted
at his place for about two hours and
then departed. The officer who COM
manded them spoke French.
That evening. when Berthine was
about to put the pot on the fire to
make the soup. two violent knocks
were heard at the door. As the
women made no reply Q loud, cultural
voice i'd, 'sOpen the door, Then,
after brief silence, the same voice
continued. "Open the door or we viii
break it in"
Berthine took down the revolver
from above the fireplace and slipped it
into her pocket. Then she said, ..Who
are youg"
The same voice replied. 'sThe detach-
ment Of soldiers who were here the
other day"

young woman.

since morning. Open the door o. We

Berthine had 10 choice. She quick
y drew the large bolts. and opening
the door saw before her six men

lad stopped there two days before
