He KnOWeth Best.

What if the way seems long and weary
Thy tired feet are forced 10 tread
Some day thou shalt look back with wonder
And say, "My steps were gently led,
The way was short
What if the rough stones wound thee
sorely,
And to thy pathway terrors lend
Turf soft and green thou wilt find only
When thou hast reached thy journey
end,
Where thou shalt rest.
What if thou seest more of shadow
About thy path than suushine's lighti
The days that are but gray and cloudy
End sometimes with radiance bright
At sunset time.
What il the work De very heavy
Thou dOest now with many fears
When all thy work slips from thy fingers
Thine own shall say with falling tears
They were brave hands.
What if the things thou most desirest
Are given to those who prize them not
Perhaps some day thou shalt soc clearly
That they would not have blessed thy lot
He kuOWeth best.
What if thou fain w0nldst shift the burdei
In sorrow thou hast borne 50 longf
Before thee lies the crystal pavement,
There shalt thou cast 10 with a song.
Thou caust but wait.
What if the blessing of Gods favor
Seems held from thee, thy work to crown.
Some day thou shalt see that His mercy
Did forever and aye shine down
On thy faint heart.

A Merry Heart.

I'd rather be poor and merry than
inherit the wealth of Indies with q
discontented spirit. A merry heart,
a cheerful spirit, from which laugh
ter wells up as naturally as bubble
the springs of Saratoga, are worth
all the money bags, stocks and
mortgages of the city. The man
who laughs is doctor, with d.
ploma endorsed by the school ofna'
ture his face does more good In 9
sick room than a pound or pow
ders or a gallon of bitter draughts.
If things go right he laughs, be-
cause he is pleased ; it is better
and cheaper than crying. People
are always glad to see him their
hands instinctively go half way to
meet his grasp, while they turn in
voluntarily from the clammy touch
OF the dyspeptic who SPEAKS on the
groaning key. lie laughs yon cut OF
your faults, while you never dream
of being offended by him, and you
never know what pleasant world
you are living in until he points
out the sunny streaks on its path
way. Who can help loving the
wholesouled, genial laughter ! Not
the buGoOn, nor the man who classes
noise with mirth, but the CHEEKY,
contented man of sense and mind.
A good.humored laugh is the key
to all breasts. The truth is that
people like to be laughed at in o
genial sort of way. If you are.
making yourself ridiculous, you
want to be told of 1t in pleansant
malner, not sneered at 4; and it 10
astonishing how frankly the laugh.
ing population can talk without
treading on the toes of their neigh
bors. Why will the people put on
long faces, when it is SO much easier
and more comfortable to laugh
Tears come to us unsought and
unbidden. The wisest art In life
is to cultivate smiles, and to find
the flowers where others shrink
away for fear of thorns.

But when we come to our farm
ing implements and tools that are
used on the farms they are much
cheaper and better than those in
Europe. In March Of this year |
visited the Agricultural Fair in
France, and a magnificent cxhibi-
ton it was. They had not less
than fifteen acres Of ground cover.
ed with agricultural supplements,
tools, and machinery. The cheap.
est mower that was on that ground
was $40 francs, which incur money
is about Sl02. You can buy just
as good a mower here or in any
town in the United States for S65.
The lowest reaper that was there
without a binder was 92j francs, or
in our money about $lSj. You can
buy as good IA one in the United
States for S1l0. The lowest priced
horse.rake that was there was 2jO
francs, or $50 of our money. You
can buy as good here for S27. The
plows, harrows, and cnltivators
were twenty per cent. dearer than
they are in the United States
There was not a fork, hoe, shovel,
or spade there, in the whole exhi-
bition, but what was dearer in price,
and, most of them, inferior in quail
ity TO those which we make in this
country. And so with carriages,
wagons, carts, barrows, etc.
Therefore I repeat to you what l
have said before to other audiences,
that nine.tenths Of the manufac-
tured commodities used by the
working people aud farmers Of this
country are cheaper today here
than they are in England. This
being so how can it be pretended
that our people are being over
| taxed, much less robbed, by our
Protective tariff? How much bet
ter of would our people be if our
tariff was repealed and they were
compelled to go to England and
buy these things? All these COM
modities are dearer there than they
are in the United States, and our
people would have to pay more for
them there than they can buy them
| for in this country.
Now, understand me. | do not
! pretend to say that silks, laces and
cut glass, and the higher descrip'
ton of wooden goods, decorated
china, etc, are cheaper here than
they are there. This is not so bat
the lower grades of woolens, aud
boots and shoes, etc, are just as
cheap here as they are in England.

George gyasIIngtOn's Feet.

Washington's boots were enor

Tribune. They were No. II. His
ordinary walking shoes were No.

portion. and he could not buy a
glove to fit him, and had to have
his gloves made to order. His
mouth was his strong feature, the
lips being always tightly compress
ed. lie weighed 200 pounds, and
there was no surplas flesh about
him. He was tremendously mnscled
and the fame Of his great strength
was everywhere. His huge tent
when wrapped up with the poles
was 50 heavy that it required TWO
men to place it in tho camp wagon
Washington could lift it with one
hand and throw it into the wagon
as easily as if it were a pair saddle
bags. He could hold muskel
with one hand and shoot with pre-
cision as easily as other men dld
with horse pistol. His lungs were
his weak point, and his voice was
never strong. lie was at this time
in the prime of life. His hair was
a chestnut brown, his checks were
prominent, and his head was not
large in contrast to every Other
part of his body, which seemed
largo and bony at all points. Ills
finger Joints and wrists were sc
large as to be genuine curiosties
As to his habits at that period

teresting. He was an enormous
eater, but was content with bread
and meat if he had plenty OF 1t
But hunger seem to put HIM III q

drink of rum or whisky on awaken

OF course, all this was changed
when he grow old. | saw him al

Thomas Jones, aged IL years, had
severe battle with an eagle in
Tyaskin district in Maryland a few
days ago. The eagle attacked the
boy while he was crossing a field,
aud buried its talons in the fieshy
part of his leg. The eagle was
shaken OF, but again made an at.
tack at the boys face, tearing the
flesh off in several places, tearing
off one of his ears, splitting bis
nose and nearly scalping him.
After a gallant fight the boy sue.
ceeded in getting hold of the birds

bird measured 8 feet from tip to tip.

An Anectinate Family.

If there is anything which makes
life worth the living it is to be one
of an affectionate family. Strange
to say, however, most people could
readily count up the really nice
families they know-the family,
that is, in which there is not only
a tender care for each Other, but an
unselish department and a kindly
interest always manifested by every
member of the home circle toward
every other fellow member. The
daughters will always fetch their
mothers anything she may want,
and brush their brothers top
coats and hats for them ere the
male members of the house start
of for their work in the morning.
The lads, too, will often take their
sisters for a walk, or pay them
little attentions which cost nothing
ana mean great deal. This is
the household into which a young
man who wants a good wife will do
well and wisely to marry. There
may not be much show about the
girls, but he will find they are afiec'
tionate, and their dispositions
stand the test Of wear. 1t is easy
enough to fall in love with a girl
when she is arrayed for party, and
feels the flush and pleasure of the
fun. When life deepens and
darkens, however, and little family
worries come in, aman wants some
thing more than a pretty drawing
room ornament for a wife !; he needs
a real, good-hearted, honest woman
ly soul helpmate.

and rosy, was 'early to bed and
early to rise,' and could sing the

her teens, or out Of them, before
