POETRY.
Fairyrar,d..


All, me-" sighed little one, weary of play,
Il wish had wings. for ia soon fly away
Away TO the shining, silveFy strand,
Where dwells the great Queen OF Fairyland.
my dolly, OF course, would come with me, too
We both have white frocks that are perfectly
new;
And the fairies would think us awfully grand,
As they welcomed US into their Fairyland.
It's streets, guess, must be paved with gold;
The people who live there never grow old;
And the diamonds, know, grow thick as sand
On the emerald trees Of Fairyland.
"The beautiful flowers never decay,
While the brides sing songs the live long day,
And 1.-THE curly head dropped In dimpled
hand
An earth-fay had entered sleeps Fairyland--
o germs Of Wisdom in chfld's soul sownl
o infant Philosophy too unknowni
Der the drear waste OF life its horizon Is scanned
For glimpse OF eternity's Fairyland.
Its gold is Contentment, its jewel is Rest,
TITS bourne OF delight to the tired and opprest:
And soon will that dim sphere OF mystery bt
spanned,
Which wells US from heayen-our Fairyiand.

HOW TO KEEP CHILDHEN QUIET.

simple Amsisements for the Little
Ones While They are at Home.
" wish there was some way to keep those
children quiet on rainy day, or when 1t Is
too warm for them to be out in the sun
playing" said weary mother the other day
TO her friend neighbor.
"a very easy matter, my DEAR" replied
her friend. " Children must be amused, or
they will become cross and naughty; 30
would you or I. Suppose you were DOOM
ed TO stay oil day, or half day, in one
room, were not allowed to read, write or
sew, could only sit on certain chairs and
handle certain articles, there was no one to
talk to, or nothing but game of solitaire
for US to play. Why, we'd be almost crazy.
Anyone-man, woman or child, In good
health, must have something to do during
their waking hours Yet how few mothers
try to furnish this something to the busy
hands and active brains Of the little ones.
You notice children out In the street or
garden. Are they ever still or quiet No.
1t Is true they find amusement in the most
trivial thing Now, have thought about
all this, and have arranged one room in the
house, the play room, exclusively for my
children. The room is the large one ON the
top floor. II is all have to spare, and as
could not afford good carpet painted the
floor and left 1t bare. poor carpet would
be worn out In six months. In the winter
the room is heated by o little circular stove,
and over this is put wire screen, so there
Is no danger of the children burning them
selves. The walls are painted delicate
gray, with pink border, and I have
wainscoting that Is one of the chief charms
Of the room.
"What is it9 Well, collected all the
pictures could out Of magazines, illustrat-
ed papers, &C., and pasted than on the wall
from the floor almost as high as the mantel.
Pictures Of animals birds, and those Of
child life are, Of course, the greater num-
Der. Iput the colored prints down near
the surface, SO that the smaller children
could enjoy them, and they are pasted on SO
nicely that tearing them Is impossible.
"Then," continued this nice little mother,
:" / have five boxes in the room, all of Diff
ferent sizes. These boxes have covers that
fasten down and are padded ON the top,
with o founce around the edge, 80 that
when the box 10 closed they have the APP
pearance Of little ottomans. Each child
keeps his playthings in the box, and 1t is
their particular property. A nursery rug
with all kinds of animals cut out Of cloth,
with the name embroidered underneath, is
among the furnishings of the room.
My children amuse themselves for hours
in that room, with only excursions now and
then to the kitchen for something to play
tea party with; and fiatter myself that
they learn considerably from pictures, also
psatness and order with their playthings."

The Ocean steamer Fleet.


The wonderful increase since the war OF
tho mercantile marine sailing from this port
would appear surprising were it not for tho
fact that it is going on daily before our eyes,
Sailing day is no longer confined to the last
Of the week, as it was prior to the Rebel
lion. Neither is the expected arrival OF
steamship from Europe watched with 30
much interest. Every day witnesses the
departure and arrival of some one or more
large ocean steam vessel, carrying almost
village of passengers each. During 1855
the Board of Inspectors of Foreign Vessels
granted las certificates for ocean passenger
steamships with foreign bottoms to sail
from this port. This did not include
any Of the coasting steamers, or American
vessels engaged in trade with the West
Indies, Central or South America. Several
new vessels have been added to the foreign
ocean list this yeaa, ss. tlsnsa lnass rissez uow
exceeds $50. These are constantly coming
to and going from this port Atthis season
of the year every available vessel of this
character is called into use, and berths are
engaged far ahead in order to secure COM
fort and convenience. And yet there Is
not one steamship between here and Eng
land or the Continent sailing under the
Stars and Stripes.

N ILLINOIS GIRLS ADVENTURES.


Two months ago Miss Carrie Nelson,
pretty blonde of IS, was living happily in
Pullman, Ill. Her parents were well-to-do.
But her girl acquaintance, to be up with
the craze of the day, had their hair cut
short. This was the cause of changing
Miss Carries future career, which ct this
time looked 90 bright. She informed her
her beautiful blonde tresses. Sophia re-
monstrated and argued, but to no avail.
Carrie visited the city and found barber
shop, where Martin L. varney, fine-look-
ing, dark complexioned man. was employed.
The Inter was so gallant and cut her hair
so prettily that the silly girl gave the man
her name and address, with permission to
correspond with her. Several opistles pass
cd between them, and finally Miss Nelson
agreed to meet the barber. After two
weeks acquaintance varney asked the girl
to marry him, and was accepted. They
were married and went to Philadelphia on
their wedding tour. Before leaving home
Carrie borrowed her sisters watch and ring,
and when the barber's pocketbook became
empty he pawned the jewelry in order to
get enough money to bring them back to
Chicago. AS he did not get enough money
to buy two tickets to this city he left his
wife in Philadelphia, promising to send for
her in the near future This he failed to
do, and after waiting two weeks for word
from her husband she pawned her clothes
and bought ticket for Chicago. A week
ago she arrived at her home and was receiv-
ed with open arms by her sister. The latter
listened to the young wife's woful tale and
started out in search Of the truant husband
Learning that he was In o barber shop
downtown she visited Justice r. H. Whites
court and swore out warrant charging
him with the larceny of her watch Varney
did not deny taking the time-piece from hts
wife, and was held to the Criminal Court in
bail Of $500.
81 can procure BAIL said the prisoner.
"well, go out and get bondsman, said
his attorney.
varney needed no further urging, and
left Immediately. A bailiH Is now search
ing for him.

The Davy Crocketts have gone. Hunting

Driving Foreign implements From
the Colonial Markets.

Driving Foreign xnnpaememxs ERosn
the Colonial Markets.
Sheffield workman who has spent ten
years in New Zealand, has addressed some
sensible words to his countrymen, and
he says the American tools are fast driving
the English out of colonial markets; and
diligently inquiring after the reason, be
was told by the workmen that American
tools are lighter, handler and better finish
ed. He asks Sheffield workmen few plain
questions Are there among you," he
says, men who are able to make an ak as
good as an American CAM" He thinks it is
because they have never tried, and adds,
that there is not an AK of English make
sold in the colonies at the present time"
Then as to the shovels When he came to
the colonies ten years ago, number Of
English shovels made by firm near Brim-
ington were sold not one is now to be seen
In the country. They were made of rotten
material that would NOT last any time, and
he had seen English ''short~handle navyys
shoyels selling at IS. and American 7s., and
yet the American were preferred at the
higher price. "The American shovel" he
says, " is lighter, and is better MATERIAL
If Sheffield wants to maintain its position
as the leading edge-tool maker in the world,
he warns Sheffield men that they must not
fall into the error of the Geneva wateh-mak-
ers, and try to make too cheap, but always
take care to put in good material and good
workmanship. He makes special reference
to forks for manure. The English forks"
he says, are too heavy, with square prongs,
while the Americans have much lighter
prongs of an oval shape, and made with the
very best of STEEL Carpenters prefer Eng
fish augers, which are better able to stand
the hard wood. He warns English work.
men against strikes, telling them that while
they and their employers are quarrelling the
foreigner steps in and steals their trade. New
Zealanders are anxious to give preference to
English goods, because England is their
market America does not take their
grain or their meat, and New Zealanders do
not want American hardwares. They are
trying to get o tariff put upon goods import
ed from America, and to increase the use of
English goods, as England is their ouly
customer.

How Sales and Purchases Tor Future
Account Are Made.

Account are WAues
Business begins in the "Pitn at 1890
A. NJ. Buyers and sellers are indiscrimi-
nately blended in the compact, throbbing,
surging mass. All offers and bids are on a
unit basis of 5000 bushels. Winter wheat
Is the only grain in mind. "rll give Al
t944 cents per bushel] for May wheat" is
the bid of q nervous, active broker, empha-
sized by uplifted hand and moving fingers.
'rll sell at s." is the quick rejoinder of a
neighbor. "Pll give 81 I'll sell you al
T." 4 is the only obstacle to a bargain.
Long and furiously, or short and sharply,
the conflict RACES around that 4. The tug
of war on the part of the seller is to pull
the buyer up /, and on the part of the
buyer to pull the seller down 4. The con.
test is quite as exciting as aught in the in.
tercollegiate game. But seldom is the bat.
tie drawn. Victory, hesitant in the vocal
hurricane, decides for one of the two parties.
Bids and offers ara usually regulated by
kilograms from Chicago. The difference in
prices between the two marts should be the
costs of transmission from the latter to New
York. Manipulation, or, in other words,
gambling, at either point, defies all criteria
of value. A corner" in Chicago may
raise wheat there above the normal price al
New York; or broken corner in New York
may depress wheat below the healthful
standard at Chicago.
The facility with which sales and pur.
chases for future delivery are made has
enormously augmented the volume of trade.
Foreign merchants avail themselves OF it to
provide for the prospective needs Of differ
emit markets. II gives to the farmers a
ready home market for his products at their
full value, and affords to traders the oppor-
tunity Of selling at a reasonable profit and
at q moments notice, and to deliver at OPP
ton within specified times, as may be
agreed. The exports of grain and grain
products from the United States in the fiscal
year 1885 we're valued at $160, $40, S21.
Sevonty-iye per cent, or more, OF the
whole was probably sold ton or twenty
times over before il was finally shipped.
Sales and purchases, charter Of ships, bills
Of exchange for payment, sale of latter-all
contemplated future" delivery. Similar
remarks are true of oil, tobacco, cotton, and
other commercial staples. The system is a
device of necessity the iudicious adapta-
ton of prospective supply to probable de-
mand, the work of foreseeing prudence. It
may be, and is, abused by gambling specu.
lators, or prostituted to assist aggressive
corner conspirators, and in all such in.
stances is shamefully demoralizing Har-
