Make a Beginning.

We sometimes dream of certain
things we would like to do; we even
go SO far as to plan some things out.
Bnt we never begin the execution of
them. Once begun, we should be
reasonably sure of carrying them on
to completion. The real hindrance
is the fact that we never begin. OF
course, for anything of importance
there is need of wise planning. But
planning may be so elaborate as to
absorb all the energies, and the ex-
ecution never be undertaken. The
men who achieve are those who go
ahead, plan or no plan, and do
something. The great works of the
world have been accomplished be-
cause those concerned have started
them, made beginning and carried
them through. This is equally true
In proportion on smaller scale in
the private sphere. Many of US can
accomplish much more than we do
by simply going ahead and doiDg
the things that present themselves
to be done. This applies, of course,
more especially to work aside from
but collateral to our ordinary avo-
cation.

Making q Hot Bed.

In the first place select a warm
southern exposure, high and dry as
possible, so that no top water can
run through the bed after it is made.
Make as long as you like-say six
feet long, three feet wide, two feet
high on the south side, three feet
high on the back part. Set posts at
each corner, front ones two feet
back ones three feet. Board up the
sides and then the ends. Let the
top of ends slope down to the lower
side. This gives it the slant to the
south. (Be careful to make il mouse
aud rat proof as near as you cam
Next put on the stove wash-boiler
of water to heat boiling hot Have
a good full load of fresh stable ma
nure be sure and have it fresh
as it il often rot warm enough 9TH
erwise] and fill up the hod-bed un-
til about eight inches from the top.
Then take hoe and pound it down
firm, and then more manure if it
packs down much, so as to keep it
about eight inches from the top.
Have your hot water ready. Pour
on the manure now. Cover up the
manure with four inches of rich
dirt, composed of part sand and rot
ten wood dirt.-Have this even
depth put it down firm. Have two
and one-fourth yards Of unbleached
quilt lining muslin is thick enough.
Tack it to the north edge; then have
a light piece of smooth board, six
feet long, one inch thick and two
inches wide. Tack the other edge
to this, bring this canvass down
over the hot-bed, smooth, leaving
the ends free. Take a common
paint brush, proceed as if painting.
Have one quart of boiled linseed oil
60 over the canvass with the oil once
and keep it drawn over the hot-bed
over night. Next day roll back the
canvass, and see if the dirt is warm,
not not, and if hot, wait until you
feel it is warm only. Make furrow
lengthwise at the back for tomatoes,
crosswise for cabbage, mango pep
pers or any other low-growing plant
you may wish, being careful not to
sow the seed too thick, three inches
apart for the rows, and the plants
viii come up in short time. When
up keep moist, but not very wet, and
on fine days roll the canvass back
and give the plants the sunshine,
pull out all the little weeds as you
go along and some of the plants
if too thick they will rot. Take
more manure and bank up the north
side and end. Keep the canvass
down o. nights, and when raining,
and if it should be frosty still cover
at night with thickness or two Of
old blankets or boards.-Cor. 1ole-

Why She Hated Him.

Two young ladies were overheard
talking glibly and confidentially on
a suburban train.
"Now, Mary" said one. "tell me
why Charley and you quarreled.
Because he's a ninny, that's why.
You know he been coming to see
me for about two years, and could
see Just az plain as anybody else
that he was in love with me. But
he didn't seem to have any snap in
him, and | got real impatient, Just
as any girl would have done. A
few nights before Christmas he call
ed to see me, and before he went
l says: Charley, | want to make
you Christmas present, but l want
to be sure it will suit you. 1t is
something real nice, warm. useful
and ornamental, and will stay with
you A scarf, SAYS he. No, not
scarf l said, though it might en-
brace YOU 1t weighs about hun
dred pounds, and I've heard you
thought it very precious oh, l
know, he says, "a bicycle By
this time / was nearly mad, but /
made one more effort. Not BIZ
cycle, l says but it can walk, has
a mouth, eyes, pretty hair and Is
very affectionate.' Now / know.
he said, and what do you think the
ninny guessed? "A big Newfound-
land dog 1 was never so disgust
ed in my life, and have not seen
Charley since. He's treated me aw-
full mean, and now leap year is gone,
and / Just hate him. Oh, there he
is now at the other end of the car.
Amt he sweet? | wish he would
come and talk to US"

The Secret of Power.

Bishop Simpson hit the secret OF
his power in public speaking when
he told an inquirer, AT school the
one thing l could not do was to
speak. 1t cost me unspeakable eff
fort to bring myself to attempt it,
and / was invariably mortified by
my failures. At length, having felt
called to the ministry, | sought to
forget myself as far as possible, and,
banishing all thoughts Of oratory,
to give myself absolutely I'D to the
task of saying things so that people
could readily understand them. 4"
His oratory was nature itself-a true
and earnest nature, intent on moth
ing but to carry the truth he was
filled with to the hearts of his hear
ers in the most direct and simple
way. His language was choice and
idiomatic, Saxon in predominance,
but not pedantically Saxon; his
manner aln ost as quiet as that OF
Wendell Phillips; his voice singu-
larly gentle, yet penetrating.

A Mind Above Trifles.

A large, healthy and equable tenn
perament ought to be able to occupy
itself with those questions, the
grandeur of which crowds from the
mind the multitude of little splen-
etic emotions, which are like the
pricking of poisoned pins. We do
not mean to say that study of log
arithms will console the man who is
suffering from wounded love, or
that relentless course of logic is
panacea for disappointment and in
gratitude. And yetit is true that
when the brain is fully absorbed in
some work the soreness of the heart
ceases for the time to be felt. The
question is how to compel nature
not of the strongest to successfully
seek this form of distraction. For
here it is not the first step only that
costs, but every step. The effort of
the will has to be incessant. 1t has
to be sustained in the midst of heart
beatings that will not be stilled, and
the probability IS that when so
many perturbations exist the de-
Election will be great. Besides, the
consolation offered by what is gener-
ally called pleasure is much easier.
Sensual enjoyment can so readily
and cheaply be attained, and. at
any rate while the senses are young
and the colors of life vivid, that
temporary relief is certain. Persons
of strong and rightly fashioned wills
can, of course, easily do what they
wish in creating legitimate self
diversion; but this sort of will does
not usually reside, along with lofty
in q nature in which the
softer emotions have considerable
sway.

Pearls are the present Parisian
fashion on,
The navy blue blouse is revived
for little girls spring wear.
Silver beads are worn in two or
more strands, according to the fancy
of the wearer.
A miniature swans head and
breast, nesting in feathers, Is seen
on some French bonnets.
Steel bonnets, with ruby velvet
strings and q ruby aigrette, are con-
sidered becoming by Parisians.
Artistic copper and other metal
work is all the rage now. This work
takes the form Of lamps, trays, after
dinner coffee sets, etc.
Wax candlesticks or candelabra,
are fashionable now in a dining-room
where the table is lighted with two
or more candelabra, according to its
length.
A prettier dress for young girl
in her fresh beauty could not be
than a simple tulie made over taf-
feta silk skirt. Some of these N
white, with soft surah sash in
white, coming colors are most faily
like.
Chemisettes of lace, high to the
throat or square, with very long
transparent sleeves, are now worn
with the velvet bodices cut like stays.
The bodies are newer than the kid
ones and are worn with lace skirts.
Very little ornament is worn in
the hair. Matrons wear O small
feather fastened with diamonds
younger women wear an artificial
flower; the idea is merely to suggest
ornament. and not to spoil the con-
tour of the head by overlooking it.
The 'bang" is doomed. London
women and girls who make up fash
ionable society have entirely aban-
doned the bang, and all styles of
wearing the hair down on the fore
head. They brush their hair
straight back, showing the whole of
the forehead and temples, knot it
very carelessly on the very top of
the head, and wear it without the
faintest suspicion of curl or crimp.
A bridal dress of plain and silver
brocaded satin, with design of III
les of the valley, has the bodice and
train of the brocade, trimmed with
duchesse lace. The bodice has the
~" shaped opening filed in with
tulle. The underskirt is of plain
satin with large plaits, and has a
narrow box plating around the bot
tom of the skirt under the plaits.
The front breadth is draped long
and full, falling in a cascade at the
left side.

The New York Sun says: Peter
Donoghue has been made assistant
paymaster OF the New York, Lake
Erie and Western Railroad Com
pany, in place Of Fred Wright, re-
signed. When Col. Fisk was at the
head of the Erie, Peter was his mes
senger and door boy. One day Pc
ter had instructions from Fisk to let
no one in to see him. During the
day big, determined-looking man
called and asked in a peculiar, fall
setto voice to see Col. Fisk. Peter
told the man that the Colonel could
not be seen. The visitor said it was
highly important and necessary that
he should have Fisk's ear for few
minutes. Peter stood firm to his
declaration that no one could see the
boss of Erie. The man persisted
and, seeing that the youthful guar
dian OF Prince of Erie's door was not
to be changed in his determination
put the boy impatiently aside, and
said:
Here, boy I'm John Merrissey,
and must see Col. Fisk.
He then pushed by and passed
toward the door. But Peter Donog-
hue wasn't there to be used that way.
/ don't care if you are John Nor
rissey !" he exclaimed, as the broad
back of the famous ex-prize-fghting
Congressman leomed IN front of him,
you can't go in there"
With these words Peter jumped
forward and, with aspiring like a cat
Lit square on Morrissey's back. He
climbed up it like squirrel, threw
both arms around the Congressman's
neck and hung on for dear life, shut
ting off Morrissey's wind, and fetch
ing him up with a turn.
Morrissey shook the boy off with
difficulty, and at first seemed in
clined to pulverize him, but as be
looked down at the pugnacious lit
tie fellow standing in a determined
dtlltuut DctWtcl lllLll dllQ SOi. It Ism y
door the humor of the situation
struck him, and he burst out laugh
ing.
"All right, have it your own way.
I'll call again tomorrow" said he,
and he walked out of the office. He
had been gone but few minutes
when Fisk called Peter, and told
him to let John Morrissey in if he
called.
"He's been here" said Peter.
Where is he ?" asked Fisk.
SWELL, he was bound to come in
against orders, and l put him out"
said Peter.
Morrissey told Fisk the story OF
his encounter with the door boy
next day, and several bottles of
wine were ordered on the strength
of it.

An Onery Cuss.

Captain Paul Boyton has opened

ULYSSES.
BY RoBEKr BUCHANAN.

Bl hbbEEf BINHASAS.
One sunset beheld an Eagle flying
'Mong the lone mountains of the Hebrides- :
Family he faltered on, half spent and dying
Between the kindled crags, the darkenins
seas.
Before the wind he sail'd on7feeble pinions.
From chasm to chasm, from lonely peak to
peak;
King had he been for years of those domin'
ions,
And kingly seem'd he still, tho worn and
weak.
Piteous 1t was to see that bird imperial,
Whose flight had known no bounds, whose
strength no chain,
Drinking in desoiation to his burial
Somewhere in those cold regions Of the rain.
Yet have lived to see a sight more sorry,
Hero in the mighty land where men are free.
The eagle-warrior, lone with all his glory,
Floating thro' clouds, close TO sunless sea
The shape that on the wind Of tribulation
Hoyer'd, and ruled the tempest like its lord.
The soldier-hero who redeemed Nation,
And cut mans chains asunder with his
sword.
The silent leader, whS arose victorious
Out Of food of hate, sea of death.
Now, fallen on darkness and time inglori-
Gus,
Fiutters so near the ground, with failing
breath
Oh. God, it seems but only yestereyen
The trumpet of Euroclydon was blown,
The storm cloud gathered and the fiery levin
Lighted the world aud flashed from zone to
zone.
Mid sounds of lamentation and of weeping,
Cries of the waking who had slept so long
Upcircling swiftly. thro' the tempest sweep
ing,
The eagle rose, with flight supreme and
strong.
His voice was in the storm above the thun-
der;
His war-cry thrilld the land from shore
to shore
Not till the battle-cloud was cloven asunder,
He sought his eyrie, and looked down
once more,
Feeble and weary, yet thro' all disaster
Silent and selfcontain'd, serene and proud
Master of men and of his own soul master
Behold him drifting now from cloud to
cloud
So wearily his slow, sad flight he urges,
Unrestful fearless-eyed as heretofore;
Then pauses, calmly lIstning to the surges,
Thund'ring so near on some eternal shore.
The people raise their plying eyes to view
him;
Weary he is and weak, vet will not rest.
Tho Washington is brightly beckoning to
From the yet widening blue of yonder
West,
But 10 Form, with radiant robes around
her,
Uprises, follow'd by shasfowy train,
Crowns him with love who once with glory
crowned her,
Blesses the hands that broke her last
strong chain
Smile, then, Ulysses Tho thy Troy hath
ended.
Tho all thy life's long Odyssey is done,
By Lincoln and the martyr-hosts attended
Columbia kneels, before her soldier-son!
What tho little space, when homeward
sailing.
Thou saw'st the treacherous Isles where
Syrens dwells
The sweetest songs they sang were unavail-
ing
To keep Gods warrior underneath their
spell.
Thou vast not made to herd with things
polluted,
Grasp dust of gold, and fawn at Circes
knee;
Thy fight was sunward, not thro' chasms
sooted
With leaves that fall from Mammon's
upas-tree?
Rest, Wanderer, in the sun. Columbia kisses
Her soldiers honor'd brow, and clears its
gloom
And this white lily of love she brings,
Ulysses,
Was plucked upon thy brother Lincoln's
tomb,
