of YOUTH.

Behold the lilies OF the field,
They toll not, neither do they spin,
Yet Aaron's censor could not yield
Such sweetness as they fold within.
And David's son, whom golden Peace
Tapped in Sidonian pomp and ease,
Was not arrayed like n OF these.
The consolidated stars that rain
Far light and silence over earth,
Call anxious Manhood back again
RIO tho calm glories OF his birth;
From all their cummings sabaoth
They reach down slender palms OF light,
And beckon toward the Infinite;
Belted Orion and MazzarOth
Lend power to climb their starry height
And the seven sisters Pleiades
Surround him with sweet influences,
While red Arcturus leads him on,
Among his sons a chosen SON.

Bachelor Idiosyncrasies.

Eccentric bachelors, il you want to be
cured Of your oddities, and become polish
ed Christians, marry. You, sir, with the
slouching gait, the pocketed hands, the
ill-tailored frame, just pair of with neat,
smart little damsel, who has an eye for the
picturesque, and before the honeymoon is
over, she will so transfigure you that you
shall scarcely know yourself in the look
ing-glass. Beauty and the Beast is no
fable. Many a monster has been trans
formed into a gentleman by the necroman-
tic influence Of a pretty woman,
You, Sir Nimrod, whose talk is Of dou-
BILE guns and settlers, of deer-shooting on
the Adirondack or moose-hunting in the
Canada wilds, do you wish to be civilized
and socialized Doubtless you do. In
gun talk, dog-talk, game-talk, is not the
vernacular Of an enlightened Christian,
and that what you are pleased to call
"sport'' is not the chief end of man. Mar
ry a true gentlewoman, sir, If you can per-
suade one to venture on you and she will
soon divorce you from dog and fowling
piece, and make you as gentle and bidda-
BILE cavalier as ever shawled lady at
ball or opera. Even the miser may be
won from his golden pagod by generous
wife. though it must be confessed that Of
all eccentricities, the greed OF riches is the
mosl difficult to eradicate.
The fact is that every eccentric bachelor
is like helmless. ship that has waved
more or less out of her proper course. A
good wife's advice is the tiller that he
needs to bring his head round, and steer
him safely and happily over the sea Of
life.

Col. Millbank was a proud, arrogant
sort az man. The pleasant faces he met
along the street held 10 charm for him.
Ho had never been known TO commit a
cruel act, yet people said that he was ut
terly unfeeling. When his wife was buried
he stood beside the grave, apparently un-
moved. and the next day be went about

Millbank was not wholly regardless ST

had entered his house the hard lines would
melt from his face. and his eyes, so cold to
others, would glow as il soul had sudden

GOLDEN WORDS FROM 4 SILVER
TONGUE.

In his late silver speech in the
United states Senate, Mr.. Pugh of
Alabama said: "Mr. President, when
we come to reflect upon all that has
been done to disparage silver, it's de-
Tense of itself must be considered the
best evidence OF its stability that could
be offered. 1t has been assa;led in
every conceivable direction. 1t has
been stabbed and betrayed in the
house Of its friends, whose duly it was
made by law to protect it. In 1873 it
was delnonetized because it was worth
more than gold and would not circu-
late; they in seek 1886 to demonetize
it because it is worth less than gold
and viii, circulate. The fact that In
spite of all these assaults it is only
20 per cent less than gold and that it
will still buy as much of the neces-
saries of life as it ever would and even
as much as gold, is a stronger. argu-
ment in behalf of its stability and value
as a medium of exchange than any
could make. No wonder it is SO pop
ular with the people. Perhaps the
most unfair treatment which ithas re-
ceived consists in the refusal of the
Government to pay it to the public
creditors as required by ths law and
contract. The anxiety manifested by
our Government to pay these creditors
something more than they are entitled
to receive has, / will venture to say,
never been equalled by that of any
other people since nations began to
borrow money. /.

BOYCOTTING.


An investigation Of the growth Of

of the summary thereof is as follows:,
Its growth in the hands of the devela

in the United States has been prog
dlglous within two years past. This

This gives the rlctice of boycotting

what aims to be the highest labor

May III, 1884, defined boycotting al
follows: $40 boycott concern sim.
ply means to refrain from having any
thing to do with it. You boycott ;
dry goods firm by refusing to deal
with it, you boycott newspaper by
ceasing to buy it, you boycott cigar
maker by avoiding his cigars. Or
gained boycotting of concern is
carried out when the trades unions
unite in refusing to purchase any Of
! its wares, or to have any dealings
with 1t, and thus attempt to break
down the business of the concern
which is antagonistic to them.'' John

the principle on which boycotting is

June. The plans contemplate an in
vestment of s6Q,000, but the portion
to be expended this spring IS only a
small part of what is intended The
first building will be 30x50 feet, two
stories high, with porches or balconies
on three sides. The house will con-
tain twenty-five rooms for guests, and
will be fitted up in excellent style.
The usual out houses will be provided
also. The hotel site is on the south
side of'the river Just below the great
falls, and SO close to-the bank as to
afford a splendid view of the falls
from the rooms and balconies, and
where the guests will be lulled to
sleep by the everlasting, but subdued
roar of the falling waters. There is
a nice grove Of trees encircling three
sides of the hotel, and the grounds
back towards the hill will be laid out
in landscape gardening.-[S. l.
