A Home Snuggery.

There should always be one spot
in the home sacred to the best inter
ests of the family. A room full of
comfort, where the sofa is made to
lounge on and the chairs to tilt back
and the carpet to dig the toe in;
where bills and chickering's are alike
forbidden and the straight-laced pro-
priety of the dining-room or parlor
can be abandoned for romps and
story telling; where the freight has
a glow OF old-fashioned comfort and
the very shadows are tame and ap-
proachable; where the dust doesn't
show and nothing is too fine to use
and at whose door all the burdens
drop off as they will sometime at the
gate of heaven-a room whose speech
is silver and whose silence is golden
when the tranquility of summer
Sabbath is broken only by sweet MUIR
murs of love and confidence, where a
happy cat curls herself to repose in
blissful affinity with a peaceful house
dog, place where the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at
rest. A sort of moral lean-to which
adjoins the house beautiful. Here
jacobs ladder is planted and angels
ascending and descending bring with
them endless measures of peace.

A Word to Boys.

You are made to be kind, bows,
generous, magnanimous. If there is
a boy in school who has club foot,
don't let him know you ever saw it.
If there is poor boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his
hearing. If there is a lame boy as
sign him some part in the game that
doesn't require running. If there is
hungry one give him part of your
dinner. If there is dull one help
him to get his lesson. If there is a
bright one be not envious of him; for
if one boy is proud of his talents and
another is envious of them, there are
two great wrongs and no more tai
ent than before. If larger and
stronger boy has injured you and is
sorry for it, forgive him. All the
school will show by their countenanc
es how much better it is than to have
a great fuss.

Budd's Boy.
San Franciseo CbronicIe

In the flush stock times, when w.
G. Budd was the idol of the stock
board and many who are now salts
fed with beer and sandwiches could
not endure anything but champagne,
he had boy in his office who made
little turn in speculations, and he
determined to go on little tour of
the state. He got a holiday and start
ed. At last he reached Los Angeles,
and there he met couple of card
spectators, who took the chances,
with more are less certainty, at poker.
Two days after this meeting Budd re-
ceived q telegram:
"W. G. Budd, San Francisco: please
send me 5000 to pay my debts and
expenses back"
Mr.. Budd did not answer. The
young gentleman evidently proceeded
to tackle the poker game again, and
next day Budd received another tele-
gram:
"W. G. Buld, San Francisco: please
send me $500 to pay my debts and
expenses back"
Still, Mr.. Budd did not reply, and
next day came this:
"Wayman G. Budd, San Francisco:
Send me S400p
Budd was getting annoye' So
was the clerk apparently, for he tele-
graphed again
"Budd, San Francisco: Send me
S5O0.u
Mr. Budd took the money and went
and telegraphed it to Los Angeles.
"Why in thunder did you do it?'
said friend.

My Birthday.

"NIy birthday io-Whst different sound
That word had in my youthful ears!
And how each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears
When first our scanty years are told,
1t seems like pastime to grow old;
And as Youth counts the shining links
That Time around him binds so fast,
Pleased with the task, he little thinks
How hard that chain will press at last.
Vain was the man and false as vain,
Who said, 'swere he ordained to run
His long career of life again,
He would do all that he had DONE"
ALI tits not thus the voice that dwells
In sober birthdays speaks to me;
For otherwise,-oftim time it tells
Lavished unwisely, carelessly;
Ofcounsel mock'd; of talents, made
HAPPY for high and pure designs.
But oft, like IsraePs incense, laid
Upon unholy, earthly shrines;
OF fnursing many wrong desire;
wandering after Love too far,
And taking every meteor fire
That crossed my pathway for his start
All this it tells, and could l trace
The imperfect picture DER agaln,
With power to add, retouch, efface
The lights and shades, the joy and pain,
How little of the past would stay!
How quickly all should melt away,
All, but that freedom of the mind
Which hath been more than wealth to me;
Those friendships in my boyhood twined,
And kept till now unchangingly;
And that dear home, that saving ark,
Where Levels true light at last I've found,
Cheering within, when all grows dark,
And comfortless, and stormy round!

Kind Tones.

o, what sweetness and bliss
There is in the tone
That comes to us kindly
When we are alone;
And the sad and lone hearted,
What rest could they find,
If love never cheered them
With words that are kind?
Soft, fairy like music,
When morning is bright,
May fall on the spirit
Like droppings of light;
And, oh, they are pleasant,
The song of the birds;
But there's nothing, no nothing
So sweet as kind words.
How oft in the shadow
Or twilight's soft wing
Have we dreamed about angels
And songs that we sing;
Yet still though those visions
Bring peace to the mind,
They have not the influence
OF words that are kind.
o, thou who art favored
With fortune and friends,
In whose cup of gladness
Life's pleasures all blend,
Remember thy brother,
Though sinful and blind,
May be led from vices pathway
By words that are kind.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-01-26


Clocks are comparatively Il mndern
invention. The sun dial WAS the first
time measure. Before that, time was
regulated iv the. strength of shadows
cast from Il fixed object. The book
of job refers 10 it. Then there was
the water clock first used i'm Babylon,
and the Romans had them in 100 B.
{. Calmet speaks of the custom of
the Ci>tclican monks being called to
their tievotions in 1920 by striking
clock. Dante, who died in 1921. also
refers TO one. In 1864 Henry De-
Wyck erected clock in the palace
of Charles V. of France. Richard
Harris of London invented the pen
dulum i'm 1641. Clocks, as we now
have them, originated in England
In 1890 wooden clocks were first
made by james Harrison of Water
bury Conn. Gradually the demand
sprang up for superior article,
until now we have clock factories
manufacturing the Indispensable ar
ticle by the thousand, at prices rang
ing from 81 up into the thousands.
