tributed for the best dressed and sustained

Nay, do not quarrel with the seasons dear,
Nor make an enemy Of friendly Time,
The fruit and folioge Of the falling year
Rival the buds and blossoms Of It's prime.
Is not the harvest moon as round and bright
As that to which the nightlngales did sing?
And thou, that callst myself my satellite,
Wit seem in Autumn all thou art IN
Spring.
When steadfast sunshine follows ftful rain,
And CLEANS the sickle where once passed
the plow,
Since tender green hath grown to mellow
grain,
Love then viii gather what it scattereth
now,
And like contented reaper, rest its head
Upon the sheaves itself hath harvested.

A Sailors Wonderful Escape.

Captain Sterling, of the schooner
Mercury which arrived at Chicago re-
Gently, tells an exciting story of the
marvellous escape of seaman who was
washed overheard in Lake Michigan
during a storm. About midnight tire
mcndous sea struck the vessel, which
was laboring heavily, and carried John
Anderson over the side. 1t was impos-
siJle to round to, and his companions
gave him up for lost Captain Sterling,
who was at the wheal, was thunder
struck few minutes later to see the
man holding on to the port quarter fen
der and endeavoring to climb over the
side. Captain Sterling sang out to the
mate to take the wheel, and rushing to
the fender rope, reached over and pulled
Anderson on board.
The man says that the sea which
washed him overheard carried him about
fifty feet from the vessel in the direction
in which she was sailing. He is a good
swimmer, and When he came up on the
crest of the wave he could SEE the yes
sells lights shining family through the
driving snow storm, and struck out as
best he could to get as near them as pos
sible. In his life and death struggle he
was materially assisted by the undertow,
or back sea, which, being strong, drag
ged him toward the vessel. At this mo-
ment another wave swept over him, and
as he came to the surface his head struck
against the side of the schooner. He re-
tanned his presence of mind and began
reaching for the tenders. Fortunately
he succeeded in grasping the last one on
the port side and was helped on board
more dead than alive.

The DeIusion of Growing Fat.

If you continue your present dietary
and habits and live five or seven years
more the burden of fat will be doubled
and the insinuating tailor will! be still
oongratulating you. Meantime you are
running the race of life"- handi-
capped by weight which makes active
movement difficult, respiration thick and
painting. Not one man in fifty lives to
good old age in this condition. The
typical man of eighty or ninety years,
still retaining respectable amount of
energy of body and mind, is lean and
spare, and lives on slender rations.
Neither your heart nor your lungs can act
easily and healthily, being oppressed by
the gradually gathering fat around And
thiG because you continue to eat and
drink rs you did, when youth and activ-
ity disposed of that moiety of food
which was consumed over and above
what the body required for sustenance.
Such is the import of that balance and
unexpended ailment which your tailor
and your foolish friends admire, andthe
gradual disappearance Of which. should
you recover your senses and diminish it,
they will still deplore, half frightening
you back to your old habits again by
saying: "You are growing thin; what
can be the matter with you9" Insane
and mischievious deusion. NineteenA

How Vanderbilt Met His Wife.

There was considerable of a romano g
attached to the marriage of the late Will
liam H. Vanderbilt, the railroad mag
nate. On bright moonlight night, at
about 10 o'clock, Miss Kissam was walk
ing through the quiet and deserted streets
of Albany. Suddenly she was startled
by the clatter of horses hoofs. Soon
she saw coming up the street break
neck pace bay horse, on which was
seated young Vanderbilt, handling his
horse with ease and grace. When the
horse and rider had reached the corner
where the young lady stood, she, being
Of a modest, retiring nature, withdrew
in the shadow of doorway The horse
saw the movement, and being spirited
animal, SHE'D and threw its rider, who
fell heavily on pile of stonos, striking
the left side of his face. Miss Kissam
screamed and sprang forward, supposing
that Vanderbilt was either dead or very
badly hurt. Hardly had she reached his
side when he jumped up, shook himself
and brushed the dust from his face.

inquired the young lady.

mered the youth.
Miss Kissam," whispered the young
lady, while many bushes suffused hel
pretty face.
"WelI, Pm not hurt, Miss Kissam,
said William II. Vanderbilt, as he intro,
duced himself, ''but I'm pretty badly
shaken up"
Miss Kissam appeared embarrassed
and insisted upon young Mr.. Vanderbilt
going to her home, as he suddenly ap
peared very faint. 1t did not take much
persuasion to induce him to escort he
home. Here he was introduced to Mis-
Kissqm's father. A pleasant evening wa'
spent, and William proved such an ex-
cellent conversationalist that when HI
took his departure that evening he wa
invited to call again, which he did re-
peatedly until they were married.

Banking In China.

The ways of business houses are by no
means the same the world over. Ac-
cordiug to a resident of Hong Kong,
some peculiaritics of custom attend
banking transactions in that place He
says that the interior of the bank con-
sists of large, sombre hail, kept fairly
cool by the waving of innumerablc pun
kahs. We wish, suppose, to cash a
check.
"Schroff!" shouts the clerk, and i'm
medlately answering to the term-not
German, but corruption Of the Hindoo
word Sarrof, banks clerk-there glides
forward one of the native cashiers, with
smooth shaven skull, four foot pigtail,
and spotlessly white flowing garments.
He is silent and rapid in his move
ments, and though his scanty stock of
English is scarcely ineligible, he salts

quickly than the eye can follow; he

"All right as regards the total, says
the traveller. 'Now give me three
pounds in small change" For supply
of fire-cent pieces is indispensable in
China.
A means has been devised for avoiding
the welriness of counting out the three
hundred tiny silver coins representing
the sum in question.
A pile of them is poured on fiat
wooden tray, containing one hundred
recesses each of which is just deen
enough to lodge one fve-cent piece, and
shallow enough to prevent the possibility
of two such lurking together A jerk of

WISE WORDS.

Method is the very hinge of business,
and there is no method without punctu-
ality.
A little praise is good for shy temper;
it teaches US TO rely on the kindness of
Others.
Whatever you would have your chill
drea become. strive to exhibit in your
own lives and conversation.
There is no manner of speaking SO
offensive as that of giving praise, and
closing it with an exception.
He that blows the Goals in quarrels he
has nothing to do with. has no right to
complain if the sparks fly in his face.
Good nature and evenness Of temper
will give you an easy companion for
life; virtue and good sense an agreeable
friend; love and constancY a good wife
ur husband
The best rules to form young man
are to talk little, to hear much, to reflect
alone upon what has pa scd in company,
t. distrust ones own opinions and value
Others that deserve it.
Women govern us; let us try to render
them more perfect. The more they are
enlightened, so much the more we shall
be. On the cultivation of the minds of
women depends the wisdom of man.
Retrihution is one of the grandest
principles in the Divine administration
of human affairs; q requital is imper-
ceptible only to the wilfully yunobservant.
There is everywhere the working OF the
everlasting law of requital; man always
gets as he gives.

Hunting and Hunted.

It is common thing for the people of
South Africa to have tame ostrches with
the rest of their poultry and live stock.
A recent traveller had an opportunity of
witnessing what the Scotch call a Gilt
ting" or the removal of several families
from one district Of the country to an
other, and he notes that these ostriches
had very quaint and unusual effect
something to which European eyes arc
quite unaccustomed, whether in reality
or picture. The strange b rds generally
stalked at the head of the procession,
and appeared to he on most excellent
terms with all the domestic animals. Oo-
casionally one would deviate to the right
or left of the track to peck a mouthfal
of grass, but as soon as the driver would
leave the road and shout ct it, it would
Immediately fall into its proper place
and march forward with the most de.
mure gravity, as if to be gui ty of an in
fringement of rules was the last thing it
would think of
Ostrichos always have an intensely
stupid look, but they are not nearly such
fools as the unnitiated would take them
for; and although the most timid crea-
lures on the earth when in state OF ma.
ture, yet in captivity, or when domesti-
Gated, they are bold and dangerous.
They will attack horse or rider indis-
criminately, walking up to the object of
their indignation with quiet, measured
stride, never evincing for moment the
slightest evidence of hostility, in fact,
looking such fools that no one would
imagine them capable of inimical ideas,
when with quick movement done with
great strength and We, ocity, they raise
their foot and strike forward, the edges
of the toes being so sharp that they will
cat ones clothes the whole length Of the
stroke. AS they are too valuable 10 be
knocked on the head, perhaps one turns
to run from them, but their speed is
such that an attempt thus to elude them
is useless. The only plan then to be
pursued is to throw yourself down, and
lie still on our face or back.
They cannot kick you in these positions
but they will jump on you, and trample
all over you. While this operation is
going on, you may give vent to your feel
ings, and satisfy your self-esteem, by be-
slowing upon them a few reminders that
two can play at the same game.
In South Africa, in the lands of the

banks of the rivers form most pictur-
esque sight, and one very tempting to

The hunters of the African ostrich are
sometimes themselves hunted by disturb
ing the natural bee-hiyes in the vast

vengeful, and their sting very poisonous.
