there some lovely sketches. He has been ap-
plying himself for the last five years to
close study at Munich, Bavaria. As re-
ward for his quiet, deep genius in his art, he
was awarded the silver medal by the school
of Munich, and the purchase for the gallery
of.art in Munich the prize picture. This is
an honor never before attained by an Amer
ican. He sent collection of studies, por-
traits, and landscapes home this winter
Among them was his prize picture. The
school has given him year and day to
sell this If lie can get more than they have
offered. At the termination of this time or
before it, if he desires, it is theirs. To low
ers OF art it would be jewel. The picture
is that of a boatman or fisherman-life size
sitting on plank across fishing boat,
with his net thrown in the boat behind him.
He is naked to the waist, his hat is of, and
he has just given stroke, as you can well
see by the quiver of the muscles in the up
per arm; every lineament is developed
You can see the boat lazily gliding, his hair
blown by the wind, and you can almost feel
the cool breeze from the water in the back
ground as you seem so close to him in
thought and life. 1t is wonderful This
one study should render a man immortal.
He is SO unassuming in his deserts, SO stu
dious; in his labOrs so devoted to his call
ing, there can be no impediment save death
that will hinder him in his course to great
ness. We look to him to help lift the at
tempts and desires Of art here and in Amer
lea to a higher plane.

ROller-skating Filtration.

Lying on the right side, "My heart is at
your feet.
Lying on the left side, 'T have money in
the bank"
Standing on your nose, 81 have no OBJ
lection to mother-in-law."
Jumping on your skates, 'Tm afraid !

Lying on ysur back, "Assist me-"
One leg in the air means 'sMashed."
One skate in your mouth, "Crushed
again"
Hitting the back of your head with your
heel, "I am gone"
Suddenly placing your legs horizontally
on the floor like the letter V indicates, 81

Punching your neighbor in the stomac
with your left foot, "I'm onto your little
game"
A backward flip of the heels and sudden
cohesion of the knees to the floor indicates
''Nlay skate the next music with you?''

BITTER WORDS.

Ah, me these terrible tongues of ours,
Are we half aware of their mighty powers?
Do we ever trouble our head at all
Where the jest may strike or the hint may
falls.
The latest chirp of that "little bird,'
That spicy story "you must have heard''-
And somebody's glass. of course. goes smash.
What fames have been blasted and broken,
What pestilent sinks have been stirred,
By word in lightness spoken,
By only an idle word.
A sneer-a shrug-a whisper low
They are poisoned shafts from an ambushed
bow,
Shot by the coward. the fool, the knavs;
They pierce the mail of the great and brave;
Vain is the buckler of wisdom or pride
To turn the pitiless point aside;
But the heart drips blood-drips blood the
while.
All, me! what hearts have been broken,
What rivers of blood have been stirred,
By word in malice spoken,
By only bitter word.
A kindly word and tender tone
To only God is their virtue known!
They can lift from the dust the abject head,
They can turn foe to friend instead;
The heart close-barred with passion and pride
Will fling at their knock its portals wide,
And the hate that blights apd the scorn that
sears:
Will meet in the fountain OF childlike tears.
What ice-bound griefs have been broken,
What rivers of love have been stirred,
by word in kindness spoken,
By only gentle word.

Stepping-stOnes to Success.
Learn your business thoroughly.

Learn your business thoroughly.
Keep at one thing-in no wise change.
Always be in haste, but never in hurry.
Observe system in all you do and under
take.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll.
One to-day is worth two to-morrows.
Be self-reliant do not take.too mnch ad-
vice, but rather depend on yourself.
Never fail to keep your appointments,
nor to be punctual to the minute.
Never be idle, but keep your hands or
mind usefully employed except when sleep
ing.
Use charity with all; be ever generous in
thought and deed-help others along life's
thorny path.
Make no haste to be rich; remember that
small and steady gains give competency and
tranquility of mind.
He that ascends ladder must take the
lowest round. All who are above were
once below.

Hints for Young Ladies'.

Be natural; poor diamond is better
than good imitation.
Try to be accurate, not only for your
own sake, but for the sake of your sex;
the incapacity of the female mind for ac-
cuSacy is a standard against the equality
of the sexes.
Observe; the faculty of observation, well
cultivated, makes practical men and wo-
men.
Try to be sensible; it is not particular
sign of superiority to talk like fool.
Be ready in time for church; if you do
not respect yourself sufficiently to be
punctual, respect the feelings of other
T -ople.
Avoid causes of irritation in your family
circles; reflect that home is the place in
which to be agreeable.
Be reticent; the world at large has no
interest in your private affairs.
Cultivate the habit of listening to others;
it will make you an invaluable member of
society, to say nothing of the advantage
it will be to you when you marry; every
man likes to talk about himself; good
listener makes delightful wife.
Be contented; "martyrs" are detestable;
cheerful, happy spirit is infectious; you
C an carry it about with you like sunny
atmosphere.
Avoid whispering; it is as bad as gig
Cling; both are to be condemned; there is
no excuse for either of them; if you have
anything to say, say it, if you have not,
hold: your tongue altogether; silence is
golden.
Be truthful; avoid exaggeration; if you
mean mile say a mile, and not a mile and
a half; if you mean one, say one, and not
dozen.
Sometimes, at least allow your mother
to know better than you do; she was edu-
Gated before you were born.

Special to the Baltimore American.

Special to the Baltimore American.
WASHINGTON, June 17.-President Cleve-
land came down to the East Room of the
White House at / o'clock this afternoon
prepared to shake hands with couple of
hundred of master mechanics, who are in
covention here, and he endured the ordeal
bravely, but he came near willing under in
fuences that followed hard after. Just as
the last of the sinewy conventiOnists had
twisted the executive wrist, bevy of about
a dozen pretty school girls stepped briskly
up, and all began to talk at once. The presi-
dent was completely nonplussed. He could
catch here and there word about 'present-
alton day." and "you must come" and
eve shall feel awfully bad if you don't"
but no one could understand what was to
be presented, or where he was wanted to
to 60, or what anybody had to ''feel bad"
about. Finally, however, handsome
young lady, dressed neatly in black, and
with an unmistakable air of the girl who
stood at the head of the class, explained
that they were lot of girls from the Acad-
emy of Visitation, at Georgetown, and that
they wanted him to come to the presen-
tation day exercises on June "a. The
President tried to explain that he had been
compelled to decline SO many similar invi-
tations that he was afraid to give offence by
accepting this.
''But this is close by" put in the young
lady who was trying to out talk her COM
panions.
"Just over in West Washington re-
marked another.
SIT won't take you ten minutes to go
over in horse car" said third.
"You can say we all came down upon
you, and you couldn't resist u.s." chimed
in little black eyed miss of about sixteen.
The President could hardly resist this ap-
peal, but he kept silent, and they began
again.
'1Iiss Cleveland has promised to crown
us, said one.
'Is that so ?' asked the President.
"Then, why won't that be enough?"
"But we want you to give us our diplc-
mas" put in another.
"Oh, no r' said he. 'Iet her do it all. !"
''No, sir. We want you to crown us, I"
remarked persistent miss.
"Why can't you come over here and let
me crown you ?'' jovially asked the Execu-
tive.
''Oh, pshsw r' put in an impatient girl,
who had hitherto kept silent. "Won't
you please Gomez"
"I'd like to, very much, indeed"
"Then, why don't you say you will?"
"Well, I'll try to be there
''But will you try real hard ?''
eyes, real hard"
"Then you will come, won't you?
But Mr.. Cleveland could stand no more
He tore himself away as gracefully as pos
sible, saying: ''Now don't make me give
a promise, for might have to break it.
"Oh, he'll come He'll come know
he'll come p chorused the girls, as they
jumped arc Ind on the East Room carpet.
But some one who had had more expert
ence in such things, remarked that his
promise had been very weak one.
"Then, don't you think he'll come? ?"
asked the girl in the black dress, and the
tears almost came to her eyes.
81 should be afraid to expect him." was
the reply.
"Well l think it will be real mean if he
don't, and I've good notion not to gradu-
ate till next year, and then come and coax
him again"

THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER.

If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battle-felds and glory;
If writ in human hearts, a name
Seemed better than in song and story;
If men, instead of nursing pride
Would learn to hate it and abhor it,
If more relied on love to guide
The world would be the better for 1t.
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
II Loves works had more willing hands,
To link this world to the supernal,
If men stored up loves oil and wine
And on bruised human hearts would pour
it!
If"yours'' and ''mine" would once combine,
The world be the better for it.
If more wonld act the play of life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheathe its knife
Till good became more universal;
If custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore 1t;
If talent shone for truth alone
The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings,
If men. when wrong beats down the Right
Would strike together and restore it,
If right made Might in every fight
The world would be the better for 1t.

DRUGS AND MEDICINES.
AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC Pulls act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all Of
which they are u safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me- and
are my constant companion. l have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
j have ever found. Itfs a pleasure to me to
speak i'll their praise, and / always do SO
when occasion offers.
w. l.. PAGE, of W. L. Page & Bro"
Franklin ST., Richmond, Va, June 3, 1882.
81 have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.
j. T. Hayes
NIexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE. writing
from Atlanta Ca, says: ''For some years
past 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, i'll spite of the use of medi-
cines of various kinds, l suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costiye habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHAETIo PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

THE TWO VILLAGES.

Over the river on the hill
Lieth village quiet and still;
All around 1t the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze.
Over 1T sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the middle of every street.
Over the river under the hill
Another village lieth still
There see in the cloudy night
Twinkling stars of household light,
Fires that gleam from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the, road no grasses grow
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never a sound of smith or mill
The houses are matched with grasses and
flowers:
Never a clock to tell the hours;
The marble doors are always shut
You cannot enter in hall OF hut.
All the village lieth asleep.
Never grain to SOW reap;
Never in dreams to moan or sigh
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many a weary soul in prayer
Looks to the other village there,
And weeping and sighiEg, longs to go
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep in the forest wild
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth, praying. this answer fall;
patience! this village shall hold you all!'
