MODERN RENOWN.

b mortal is anxious for glory
All he needs lie abundance of cheek;
The Drawn OF a pugilist CORY,
Or the nerve OF physical freak.
The laurels are only for muscle,
The praises for animal force:
Its the man on the TOD in the tussle
Or the rover ahead in the course,
Or the first that can knock
A man half q block,
And bruise ike the kick OF a horse.
The loafer can win reputation
And stand on renown's dizzy ridge,
And JOIN q ten-cent combination.
II he only will jump from bridge.
A jump and a plunge in the river
Is quicker than Latin or Greek,
A moment of chill and of shiver,
And then fifty dollars week;
And next he will rank
AS museum crank,
And have the eclat OF q freak.
Then you hear Of the frolicsome duffer
Who's anxious his courage 10 show,
AJnd make the community suffer
fYith his swagger and vacuous blow;
Tsho gets in a cask for his glory
and over the rapids he'll fy;
Then emerge with horrible story
Compounded of gall and of lie:
And dwell on the feat
With his mammoth conceit,
For the fool is too lucky TO die.
But worse than them all is the fossil
Weak minded, long-winded and vain.
Who thinks he's genius colossal,
Chestnut" is his only refrain.
He looks with compassion and pity
On humOr of others begat,
p And thinks there is nothing so witty
AS his own righteousness fiat;
Who know him agree
A chestnut is he,
All mouldy and wormy at that.

Besides, there Will be over twice as
many persons of the second generation,
children of the above, and four or five
times as many who may be regarded
as belonging to the races which they
respectively represent. The persons
of German birth or origin will then be
as numerous as the inhabitants of Prus-
STA were prior to the war with Austria
in 1866, and far more wealthy.
The question thus arises: What will
be the character or race of the future
citizen of The United States? If immi-
grafton were always 70 be of the same
composition as that of the past, there
would be little ground for apprehen-
sion. But other countries are begin
ming to send large numbers of people
annually, and the stream from each
will swell very rapidly. Austria, Hun
gary and Italy have already contrib
uted largely to. the population, and
immigration from these sources has
only fairly begun. Russia has scarcely
made beginning as yet, but if it once
does there can be no doubt that the
current will soon become mighty one.
In the Southern States, too, which have
not attracted many immigrants, the
colored population is increasing
more rapidly than the white. 1t is no
wonder that the American" is be-
ginning to be in doubt as to his iden-
tity, and feels no little concern as to
what will be his race characteristics i'm
half q century's time.-TOroHtO Mail.

The Norman Horse for the South.

Southern Lumberman.
Barnum's circus exhibited here on
the 9th inst. for the second time this
year, and we really believe his show
has been worth to the Southern peo-
pie the $4,000 net cash his concern
has carried out of this section during
the past season, if the people will only
profit by the lesson his street parade
offers on the subject of draft horses.
In the ante-bellum days the South
was noted for her high-bred, high
priced and high-spirited fast horses.
They were indeed noble line of the
equine race, and many of them had
a pedigree that could be traced for a
century or two further back than
their aristocratic, cavalier owners
could prove their own. These horses
were bred for speed, for sport, for
beauty of symmetery, coat, color and
other qualities, and held place in
popular esteem only second to wo-
men. They were the horses that
made an undying historical record for
South in the war between the States,
But those days are past. In this
sternly practical time we need, and
must have, an entirely different style
of horse for general use. We need
draft horses-big, heavy ones, capable
of standing the variations of our eli
mate. Mr.. Baraum's show has given
proof that the Norman horse is the
animal we now need. His teams
after seasons tour through the South
show very few signs of hardship. The
horses are not quite in as good order
not quite so heavy and fat as when hi
started out, but do not appear to be al
all jaded. No team used in the lum
Der business could possibly be sub
jected to greater hardships thar
these circus horses have been fol
eight months past, worked as they
have been every day and jolted over
fifty miles of railroad, on an average
every night.
We are glad to notice that our lum
Der and log men are turning their at
tention to a servicable breed of draf
horses, and that the late fairs an(
stock shows have given proof tina
the stock-breeders foresee and appre
ciate the coming want in the breed o
horses.

OIL Your Boots and Shoes.

American Agriculturist.
The efficacy of oiling depends much
upon the way in which it is done.
In the evening brush the shoe clean,
and then wash it with lukewarm
water, rather to moisten than to clean
it. Set it where it will dry slowly.
1t should not be perfectly dry the
next morning, when the oil isapplied,
but feel damp, not wet, however.
The best mixture for oiling shoes is
made of one-half of neat's-foot oil
be sure you get the genuine article
one-third beef tallow, and one-siXth
castor oil. Mix thoroughly over a
gentle heat. Depend upon the rub
bling rather than the heat to get the
oil into express it differently, two
parts of rubbing to one of heat. If the
shoes are pegged, as farmers shoes
usually are and always should be, get
the oil in well between the uppers
and the sole; it will prevent the sole
pulling loose, or the leather breaking
away from the pegs. Shoes worn al
farm work should be oiled at least
once week. 1t requires only few
minutes to do the work, and it is de-
cideIY profitable labor.

History of the Fork.

About the time Shakespeare was re-
firing from the Globe Theatre to en-
joy the life of a country squire at
Stratford a travelled Englishman
named Coryate introduced the table
fork into England from Italy.
Not more than hundred years
since Jonas Hanway was Missed and
even stoned in the streets of London
for carrying an umbrella. Mr.. Cor
yate was not stoned, but he wasmuch
abused for using fork at table. He
was called a Furcifer, which was
Latin for fork bearer and also for gal
lows rogue.
English society was pricked by the
pronged instrument into quite a pas
sionate indignation. The pulpit de-
nounced and the stage derided it,
while everybody for time pushed
the novelty aside with words of dis
dain. An indignant preacher de-
clared to his hearers that to touch
meat with fork was to declare i'm
piously that Gods comfortable Great
ures were not worthy of being touch
ed by human hands. Beaumont and
Fletcher seasoned one of their plays
with fling at the fork-carving trav-
eler, and popular writer urged all
young men returning from tours to
lay aside the fork of Italy, as well as
the affected gesture of France and all
strange apparel.
The fork became an established in
stitution of the table about the close
of Charles FPS reign, in 1885, though
still derided and scorned by the hum
bier classes.
The earliest forks were made of iron
or steel, though some used by the
very wealthy people were made Of
silver.
The possessor of a silver fork carried
it about with him in case, as he did
his knife and spoon, and when invit
ed out to dine was expected to use
them.
The silver fork in the form we know
it was very rare until about the com
mencement of the present century
and within the memory Of people no
old its introduction encountered NJ
little opposition. Even now there
are elderly people who prefer the
steel fork of their young days to th'
silver fork, or its imitation, that fash
ion now DEGREES to be the one indis
pensable implement at table.

The Christian Ministry.

There is widespread impression
that the Christian ministry is a toll
some and thankless lot. This is often
a theme of conversation in religious
families. 1t is but natural that our
youth should sympathize with this
prejudice, especially when the higher
and spiritual aspects of the ministry
are not presented to them. They are
sometimes taught that anything is
preferable to such a calling. They
are led to regard it with inward con-
tempt, as the sure highway to dis
comfort and poverty. 1t would be
easy to show to an intelligent Chris
tan how erroneous is this view of the
Gospel ministry. 1t is the noblest
of callings. That parent may deem
himself honored, indeed, who has a
son in such work. His mind is con-
tinually engaged upon the most de
lightful themes. His heart expands
amid improving and congenial stud
les. Even those official engagements
that are sometimes displeasing to the
flesh originate sweet consciousness
of divine approval, when performed
for the Savior and the good ofimmor-
tai souls. He has no sense of mean
ness in toiling for mere transitory
pleasure. When he dies, there are
no bitter reflections from having en-
gagged in a work of doubtful charac-
ter. He can say in truth, 81 have
fought a good fight; henceforth there
is laid up for me a crown of re-
ioicing." How strange that we, who
are soon with all our households to
disappear from this active scene,
should depreciate such an allotment.
How pernicious is this low view Of
the ministerial Office! 1t is to be
feared that many a young man has
been diverted from his true life worl;
by these prevalent misconceptions.

THE WELCOME BACK.

Sweet is the hour that brings us home,
Where all will spring to meet us,
Where hands are striving "a we come
To be the first to greet us.
When the world has spent its frowns and
wrath,
And care been sOrely pressing,
IT'S sweet to turn from our rowing path
And find Preside blessing.
All, ioyfully dear is the homeward track,
If we are but sure of welcome back.
What do we reck on dreary way,
Though lovely and benighted,
If we know there are lips to chide or stay,
And eyes that will beam love-lightedS
What is The worth of your diamond ray
To the glance that flashes pleasure
When the words that welcome back betray
We form a hearts chief treasure?
Oh, joyfuliy dear is our homeward track,
FIVE are but sure of welcome back.

Vital Force in Sunlight.

/ have often been asked at what
age infants can first be safely expos
ed to the influence of the open air.
My answer is, on the first warm, dry
day. There is no reason why new
born child should not sleep as sound
ly under the canopy Of garden tree
on a pillow of sun-warmed hay as in
the atmosphere Of an ill-ventilated
nursery. Thousands of sickly nurs-
lings, pining away in the slums of
our manufacturing towns, might be
saved by an occasional sun-bath.
Aside from its warmth and chemical
influence on vegetable oxygen, sun
light exercises upon certain organ
isms vitalizing influence which sci
ence has not yet quite explained, but
whose effects is illustrated by the con-
trast between the weeds of a shady
grove and those of the sunlit fields,
between the rank grass of a deep val.
ley and the aromatic heritage of a
mountain meadow, as well as by the
peculiar wholesome appearance of a
"sun-burned" person and a sun.ripen-
ed fruit. Sunlight is too cheap to be-
come fashionable remedy, but its

rated.
