AL Eastport was astir next morning to see

long wharf was crowded with relatives and
friends Of those departing-relatives is the
most proper term, for this was a long settled
community, dating its first planting but
twenty years after the landing at Plymouth.

predominant ones, both in our village and

agricultural villages u few miles back In the

Every old family could trace some degree OF
co~nsanguinity more or less remote with
every other family through marriage, per-

1t was no idle throng upon that wharf, at
tracted by mere curiosity. There were fathers
and mothers, sisters and brothers, aunts and
u%ncles, first, second and third cousins, grand
fathers and grandmothers, sweethcarts and
wives. The sailing of a whaler with a score
OF townspeople on board was no new thing,

Studies of Human Nature.

What man is deficient in sense he
usually makes up in mulishness.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him hint of it.
Remember this: However small you
consider your possessions there is some
one who envies you them.
There is no luck, but there is such a
thing as hard work and knowing how
to make it answer for what others call
'luck"
No matter how low down man may
get there is not more than one in every
100 of them but will prove true to a
small trust if his pride be strengthened
by your seeming faith in him.
Much of the world is prejudiced
against facts, because facts stick to the
text and don't go out of the way to
concoct a alatablc medium for the
worlds own genteel taste and wise
opinions.
Simply believing the truths of religion
doesn't make you religious; you may
appreciate right and yet not do right;
weeping over martyrs is not as heroic
as having had your lamp suffered at the
stake.
One breach of faith will always be
remembered. no matter how loyal your
subsequent life may be. People may
imagine that they trust you, yet all the
time they have an eye to the former
break, -New York Nail.

How to Learn Whist,


July Outing.
Whist Is learned partially, never utterly, by
Tears Of patient study and continuous practice.
II this statement serves TO dampen the energy
" those who wish to be taught, there is no
help for 1t. And It has but single modifca-
lion, viz: You may learn to amuse yourself II
you acquire some general information con-
serning the game by little reading and occa-
sionally playing, at the expense, however, of
nartyrdom to good players who happen to be
seated at the table with you when you are fol-
lowing suit or leadingit all unconscious Of the
propriety Of the play. 1t is all useless, and
worse shan useless, to maintain that whist Is
easily learned. 1t is the most wonderful game
known; and one that is not analysed or COM
pretended in haste or with ease. 1t is the
most scientific of games; and you do not mas
ter science intuitivcly. II man will learn
whist, having been gifted with the necessary
capabilities sound Judgment close observa-
ton, quick Inference, retentive memory-he
may do so by careful study and intent applica-
ton; not otherwise. Thousands Of men play
cards; they sometimes play what they call
whist When they are having their good time
at the game, and delightedly gathering tricks,
they are enyied by the misanthrope but pitied
by the good player.

A Model Editor.

A man who runs paper should know every
human caper, and hold up the torch Of
knowledge like cleaning midnight
taper
He should be profound as Plato, plant as a
boiled potato and as humple to his pa.
irons as a street and crossing scrapcn
He should honor in his journal every cap
tain, crank and Colonel, and dish up
their proud achievements in a hodge
podge cooked diurnal
He should puff-the hardened liar-clubs
and concerts, church and choir, with
long adjectives sonorous, sweet ser
aphic and supernaL
He must write the funny column, that makes
all his readers solemn, with the fash
ions, frills and founces, furbelows and
-what-dye callem!
Quell the copy-fend's wild revel, squelch
and massacre the devil, and put on
brow Of thunder that shall petrify and
appall 'em.
He must be news-rehector of the lyceum

torrents on the veteran milk-inspector.
He must be prompt adviser to each foreign
king an5 kaiser, and keep out his key

And small specific gravity

To see old Spermaceti
Thus suffering compression.

And creased the wide Atlantic.

Sassafras tea, strongly infused, is credited
with wonderful properties for inducing cheer,
fulneSs, free conversational powers, and a
general feeling Of well being. Tcasponful
doses Of sassafras oil, taken in wafer or soda
water, are said 10 produce a delightful species
Of intoxication, and to remove pain of collie,
cramp, etc. The external application Of the
same oil is also said TO relieve neuralgia pain,
Sassafras has long been used in England us a
domestic remedy or palliative for chronic rheu-
matsm.
Powdered sugar has been found to form an
excellent dress for wounds, ulcers and cavities,
excepting in conditions of profuse secretion,
which cases its action is less satisfactory.
Small repeated doses of sulphur are highly
sxtolled by an English surgeon in the treat
ment Of diphthera. Fifteen grains of milk of
sulphur may be suspended in an ounce Of
'mucilage, and favored agreeably. or this a
Seaspoonful or more may be taken every half

The growing favor for potted plants for room
decorations has suggested the very sensible
fashion Of sending flowers, not in baskets or
punches, but in pots. 1t is nice and poetical,
for you cannot help thinking nice things of the
sender, as each blossom bursts aud gives per.
fumed greeting, or the perpetual growth OF q
fern or palm is Joy evermore in your sight
Palms, orange trees, ferns, primroses, small
lilac bushes, hyacinths, tulips and citron aloes
are among the favorites for presentations.
These plants are not taken out Of their earth
en- pots, but are placed wherever they may be,
In the mind OF the. receiver, most decorative.
Sometimes the pots are arrayed with cambria
dresses and garnished with gay ribbons A
silken scarf or handkerchief is also pretty

crockery.

Great as he was, nevertheless, Charles Dick
ems was most striking illustration of a snob
OF genius. He should have occupied page
in Thackeray's "Book OF Snobs." His was
certainly an extraordinary case. He had q
distinguished rank in literature, without pos
sessing either the manners, feelings, instincts
or education of gentleman. We cannot I'm
agine him associating easily and naturally
with ladies and gentlemen, for he had no real
knowledge or appreciation Of them, and when
ever he wrote about them he made miserable
