MISCHIEF MAKERS.

Oh, could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasure might 60 round
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty
Of gossips' endless prattling!
If such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne,
Forever and forever.
There, like queen, might reign and live
Where every one would soon forgive
The little slight they might receive,
And be offended never.
The mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part, but when
They've heard our case, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And they have such cunning way
Of telling tales-.hey say:
Don't mention what say, pray;
l wouldn't tell another"
Straight to their neighbor's house they 60
Narrating everything they know,
And break the peace Of high and low
Wife, husband friend and brother.
Oh! that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced to one and two,
And they were painted red or blue!
That every one might know them.
Then would the village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things too much below them.
For It's sad, degrading part,
To make anothel's bosom smart,
And plant dagger IN the heart,
We ought to love and cherish.
Then let us evermore be found
In quietness with all around,
With friendship, peace and joy abound,
And angry feelings perish.

A Suspicious Letter.

"She'sa powerful good girl-good as
gold" remarked Miss Rebecca Bell
flower, with an air of satisfaction,
81 never had a girl before that kept
the pantry as clean and the dresser
a-lookin' so neat :; the shelves all
secured and kivered with papers, cut
in notches and holes, as nice as you
please. And the pots and kittles, the
milk pans and strainers, allus clean
and bright, and the brass dog-irons
and cannel-stlcks kept rubbed and
scrubbed till they look shiny as gold.
Yes, Lura's the best g!rl l ever had.
and don't keer a pin if brother Basil
has tuck a notion to her. He could
not find any other girl I'd sooner he'd
hev than her."
And If Miss Rebecca was satisfied
pretty Lura Gaines was no less so
and she went singing about the old
farmhouse, washing dishes, sweeping
floors, and the like, the very type Of
a busy country girl described IN the
old song:
Upin the early morning
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the COWS away.
Washing the breakfast dishes,
Making the beds upstairs,
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Busting the parlor chairs.
Lura was pretty, too; so it was no
wonder if handsome, stalwart Basil
Bellflower had taken emotion" to her
with her sloeblack eyes and hair her
olive-hued cheek, and her mouth, soft
scarlet as a sunrlpened Indian peach.
"Is-is Basil going to marry her.
then ?" asked Miss Zerelda Mugwort,
who was making an afternoon call
upon Miss Rebecca.
81 dunno as he is, and l dunno as
he amt" was the sententious reply !;
''but as | SAID before, if she wants her
and she'll hev HIM, shan't hev any
thing to say agin it."
"But l shall !" thought Miss
Zerelda Indignantly, though she kept
her thoughts to herself. ga poor
hired girl like her to git the best to
do young man in the neighborbood! !
It's outrageous! But-we'll seev
In truth, Miss Zerelda evidently
considered herself a better match for
Mr.. Basil Bellflower, though possibly
he may not have viewed the subject
in exactly the same light himself.
x X X
"A-ahem! 1 thought 'twan't no
more'n right, Miss Rebecca, to let
you know something I've found out
about that girl of yourn."
A triumphant look sparkled in
Zerelda Mugwort's sharp gray eyes
as she carefully drew letter from
the pocket of her dress.
"Something about Imry? What
on airth is it? What do you mean ?"
asked Miss Rebecca, with an ex-
preston of mild wonder depicted on
her countenance,

LABOR AND INTELLECT.-We are
always in these days trying to sepa-
rate the two; we want one man to
always be working, and we call one
gentleman and the other an
operative, whereas the workman
ought often to be thinking and the
thinker often to be working, and
both should be gentlemen in the
best sense. AS it is, we make both
morbid thinkers and miserable work.

A PARTY of ladies and children,
near Waycross, Ga, were scared near
ly out of their wits by the appearance
of two tramps, who carried matters
with a high hand until a mouse ran
across the floor, when the desperadoes
screamed wildly, endeavored to pull
up their pantaloons by the roots, and
otherwise stood revealed (on the near
est chairs) as two ladies of the neigh
borhood, fond of practical jokes.

The New York State reservation
at Niagara Falls embraces all the
points from which the Falls are visi-
BILE from the American side, includ-
ing Goat Island and the smaller ls-
lands adjacent-Bath, the Sisters,
Bird, Luna, Chaplin and the others
and Prospect Park. The boundary
follows the water edge at a distance
of from one hundred to two hundred
feet, and comedies with the natural
ridge which extends along the head
of the shore. All distractions ON it
will be removed-houses, fences,
pavements, everything-and natures
own setting of the scene will as near
ly as possible be restored. No effort
will be made at artificial adornment
or landscape gardening; and but for
the destruction of the forests, which
must have added so much to the i'm.
pressiveness of the scene, a visitor can
view the great spectacle with as Sc
rene a temper us the savage viewed it,
and without having suffered bank
ruptcy at the hands of toll collectors.

No other complaints arc so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trtied with by the majority of suffer-

perhaps from triaing or unconscious e1-

sickness AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

WHAT THE MICROSCOPE REVEALS.
Mold is forest of beautiful trees,
with the branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is cover
ed with scales like fish; a single
grain of sand would cover one hun
dred and fifty Of these scales, and
yet scale covers five hundred pores.
Through these narrow openings
the perspiration forces itself like
water through a sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water con-
tains a world of living creatures,
swimming with as much liberty as
whales in the sea.
Each leaf has colony of insects
grazing it, like COWS in a meadow.
