OIeying instructions.

Apropos of the slang phrase 'to pain
the town red" a well-known politi
clan relates the following episode:
Mr.. B representa- rural con-
'stituency in Congress, and wanted to be
Senator. His opportunity came one day,
and when he found that his nine had
been balloted for in the Legislature, lie
left his farm and went to the state capt.
tai to keep his eye on things. When at
last it was announced that he had tri-
umphed in the contest, he rushed to a
telegraph office, and in the mad enthu-
siasm Of the moment sent this message
to his family: ELECTED Hooray! Paint
my house red" He stayed at the CAPITAL
for about a week, celebrating his good
fortune, and then returned to his rustic
seclusion. On alighting from the train
he was half dazzled by scarlet glare
that appeared above the apple-trees of
his orchard.
What's happened to the house," he
asked, in amazement.
Nothing" replied one of his fellow
townsmen; ''only yoa tclegraphed us to
paint your old home red, and we've dvue
it. Here's the BILL"
They had painted the house, and barn,
and pens, and hennery, and stables-in
fact, there was hardly a stick on the
premises that had not been painted &
lubilant red. --Harper's

That life without laughing is dreary
blank.
That ambition is vacuum that will
never be filled.
That one mistake is warning which
need not be repeated.
That there is Joy in the evening when
the day has been we'll spent.
That cheek boldly enters where mod
esty dare not pull the door-bell.
That now is the constant watchword
ticking from the clock of time.
That all the keenest pleasures of life
come in the wake of duties done.
That the wear and tear of life come
chiefly by straining after the impossible.
That the great secret of success in
life is to be ready when opportunity
comes.
That 81 can't do it" never did any,

wonders.
That one breach of faith will always
be remembered, no matter how loyal
your subsequent life may be.
That face that cannot smile is like
a bud that blossoms and dies upon the
stalk.
That watch set right may be true
guide to many others, and one that goes
wrong be the means of misleading a
whole neighborhood.

more toward preserving peace in the

most elaborate of mol dings.

WILL YOU COMET


When clematis blooms again,
VIII you come?
In the sunshine or the rain,
Will you come?
would have you now remember
You've q faithful friend and tender
Waiting kindness you to render
When you come.
When the leaves begin to fall.
Will you come?
When the whippoorwill doth coll,
VIII you come?
When tho wheatfields ripe are growing
When the clover-hay is moving,
When the sailor-lad is rowing
Will you come?
When the snowflakes are flying
VIII you come?
When the little birds are crying
Will you come?
Oh come when sleigh-bells Jingle,
Yes, come with old krlss kringle;
Lot once more our voices minSle,
Win you como?
When sweet srringtime comes again
Win you come?
We shall roam Der hill and plain
When you come.
Come, dear one, and Danish sadness;
Yes come, and bring to me true gladness
Fill my heart with passions madnessl
Will you come?
The evening breeze is moaning
He'll not come"
And my lonely heart is groaning,
He'll not come
So, farewell to world and pleasure,
Wo is mine beyond full measure,
For my heart hath lost n treasure.
He will not come!

What They We're.

A hostess who can not preserve Ter
serenity upon even the most crucia: oc-
casiohs is lacking in one of the most
essential qualities as ar entertainer
The thoughtless spilling of her best
vine, the soiling of her whitest table
cloth, nay, even the smashing of a
whole trayful of her best old family
china, should not cause one muscle of
her countenance to change.
On the other hand, an affected ignor-
ance respecting the contents OF the
days bill of fare is at times almost as
fatal as the opposite extreme. Twas my
self present at dinner party at which
one of the untutored stable-helpers had
been brought in, on an emergency, to
assist. what are these. John?" in

you have a gclawba, although, as
sartorial fact, the hood is not added,
but is part of the piece. It is not
easy to fancy anything simpler and
looser; it may be white or colored, it
may be big or little, but the form
knows no change, nor will it in any
way conform itself to your insigniti-
cant individuality; it is part of the
ast-simple and easy, but changeless.
The more graceful Lurnous is worn,
too, but not SO general, and usually by
Algerines. The woman's haik is merely
long towel about nine yards in length,
wound round them in one invariable
way, At first woman produces no
more effect upon you than any other
shapeless bale of soft goods, but gradu-
ally the sex establishes its dominion
even through the fold of the haik, d
one finds ones self wondering whether
the dark eyes, that glance at you and
then swiftly veil themselves with mys-
FERROUS coluetry, are the only decent
features in the hidden face. When ore
meets lady, aud there happens to be
none of the faithful by, it is not an in
frequent occurrence that the haik,
which needs constant adjustment, re-
quires some little arrangement just as
you pass, and you are permitted to
gaze upon the features of some Fati-
nah or Zuleikah, the light of some
humble harem. AS a rule, you are a
little sorry that the illusion has been
shattered; the dark eyes are generally
the strong point, and their effect is
heightened by darkening; Arab women
also generally tattoo line from the lip
to the CHI n. 1t may be said that when
q Moorish woman is not very much COW
cred up she is very little covered up;
indeed, it sometimes happens that, as
one passes some little street. door
opens and q woman, literally en-
chemise, runs across the road to a
neighbor; she generally has kerchief
over her face and head, but ner arms
and feet are bare. She probably has
been making bread or grinding on the
eternal mill, whose soft murmur has
never ceased or changed through all
the Orient. When the bread is made
the door of the house opens little,
and bare arm makes it's appearance,
and, Selling the knocker, hammers
away perhaps for the space of min
ute. This is the signal for the bakers
boy, whose long, wailing note, some
thing like that of the Paris sweeps,
soon answers, the bread in flat cakes is
passed out to him on q board, and the
bare-legged urchin trots away, chant
ing out his melancholy cry, with his
loaves upon his head, just as Pharaoh's
chief baker might have done in the
days of his apprenticeship, before dis
quoting dreams began to foreshadow
time in which it would be impossible
for him to carry bread upon his head.

"1oU may depend upon It, said
Rockland County farmer to New York
Tribune reporter last week, eve will
have an open winter and a good wheat
year-the goose-bone says So" The
goose-bone is accepted by many Rock.
land County people as better authority
than Virgins or than their Hackensack
neighbor De Voc. In many farm
houses it will soon be found hanging il
the hall, and upon its predictions some
men place the fullest reliance. The
real prophetic bone, it is claimed, can
only be obtained from goose that was
Matched out in the spring, and the
goose must not be killed until the In
ilian summer has passed away. A bone
taken from q goose Matched in May last
year has a row of dots around the keel
of it indicating the temperature, and
the darker the spots the colder the
weather. 1t is claimed that the marks
dividing the bone indicate the three
winter months, December beginning at
the front. Those who have read this
years bone carefully say it indicates
moro regular weather than that of last
year, and not so severe There will
not be many days during which run
ming water will freeze.
