A Cook and a ParSon.

When Gen. Bragg, minister to Mexi.
co, was captain OF company E, 9Th Wis
consin volunteers, one day the Chap
lain resigned. "Chaplains," says the
teller of the story in the Spring.
field Union, "were appointed on
the recommendation of the captain.
Well, cranky-looking old saint with
a kink in one leg applied for the va
cant position and Capt. Bragg called
us together for consideration. The
parson had his papers indorsed by
several members OF congress and two
or three senator's, and the captain
said: Let him ventilate his eloquence.
I've got it all planned; he wants to
talk temperance. Now there's Jones
in the company, who only knows
enough to bring water for the cook,
but not enough to keep bean soup
from burning. who can talk temper
ance with the wind and beat 1t in a
forty.mile gale; let the parson make
his speech, and then the boys will call
for Jones; it's all fxed.' The result
was that after the boys had listened
impatiently to the parsons talk for
some time they called loudly for
Jones, and he appeared, greasy from
the kitchen, and mounting the stump
completely overwhelmed the parson,
who limped off, and Jones returned
to watch the SOUP"

to my situation at this moment:
''Oh, Solitude, whore are the charms
That sagee have seen in thy faoa
Better dwell in tho midst of alarms
Than raiQn in fhia hnrrihla nlaoa

ThaS ea8eo have seen in thy faCa
Better dwell in the midst Of alarms
Than reign in this horrible plaoas
So thought I, a. I struck out for .
piece OF our once beautiful boat, few
rods distant. The crew came up, one
after another, catching at anything
they could sec to keep them adoat.
Ono poor fellow came padding along
with two or three oars under him, cry
ing out that his back was broken. An
other Of the crew and myself got him
on the piece of boat that he had hold
Of. His thigh was broken, and he
could not move his legs at all. The
second mate soon after picked us up
with his boat, and so much had we been
engaged in looking out for ourselves
that we did not perceive that one of our
number was missing. But, alas it was
too soon found out. He was q young
man about seventeen years old, and did
not belong to the boat, but went in the
place of the midship oarsman, who was
sick at the time. The whale fell di-
rectly on him and probably killed him
in moment. With what feelings we
pulled round and round the spot where
the Doat was stOVen, unW1lllng TO be-
ieve even after we knew there was no
hope, that our shipmate was gone never
more to return. And how silently we
glided alongside the ship and hoisted
in our poor shipmate now lamed for
life.
Oh, that some of these people who
look upon sailors as little better than
brutes, and who know little or nothing
of the kind feelings and growing affec.
tions concealed under their rough exteri-
ors, could have seen what I saw on
board that ship, even their hearts would
malt, and they would find that it is not
always the polished and educated, the
smooth-faced and handsome man that
has the warmest heart or the most gen.
erous feelings. w. II.

TO Thine own self Be True,

By thine own souls law learn to live
And il men thwart thee take no heed,
And if mon hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer.
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul-sworn steadfast oath,
And to ny heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap Is thou shalt SOW,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth, /
To thy full stature thou shalt grow. -:
Fix on the futures goal thy face, = j

Until at last the end is won,
And thou may'st look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey DONE

Dressmaking as a Fine Art.

Oscar Wilde in Woman's World.
am sorry to see that Mr.. Fawcett
deprecates the engagement OF ladies OF
education as dressmakers and milli-
ners and speaks OF it as being detri-
mental to those who have fewer edu-
catlonal advantages. myself would
like to see dressmaking regarded not
merely as learned profession but as
g. fine art. To construct costume
that will be at once rational and
beautiful requires an accurate knowl-
edge of the principles OF proportion, a
thorough sense of color and quick
appreciation OF the proper use OF mate
rials and the. proper qualities OF pat
tern and designs. The health of a ma
tion depends very largely upon its
mode of dress; the artistic feeling of a
nation should find expression in its
costume quite as much as on its arch
itecture, and just as the upholster-
ing tradesman has had to give place
to the decorative artist, so the ordi'
nary milliner, with her lack OF taste
and her lack of knowledge, her foolish
fashions, and her lack OF inventions,
will have to make way for the scientif-
ic and artistic dress designer. Indeed,
so far from 1t being wise to discourage
women Of education from taking up
the profession of dressnakers,i it is ex.
actly women of that class who are
needed, and l am glad to sec in the
technical college for women at Bedford
millinery and dressmaking are to be
taught as part of the ordinary curric-
ulum. There has also been Society
for Lady Dressmakers started in Lon
don for the purpose OF teaching edu-
Gated girls and women, and the Scien.
tific Dress Association is, hear, doing
very good work in the same direction.

A Future Life For Animals,
Our Dumb Animals


John Wesley, the founder of Metho-
dism, Thought there was future life
for animals. So did those Christian
Bishops. Jeremy Taylor and Bishop
Butler. Coleridge advocated it in
England, Lamartine' in France and
Agasslz in America. Agassiz, the
greatest scientist we ever had on this
continent, and a man of profound re-
ligious convictions. WAS q firm believer
in some future life for the lower an.
imals. "A professor OF Harvard Uni
versity has compiled list of 1856
European authors who have written
on the subject.
Among the leading clergy of Boston
who have publicly expressed their be.
'iet in future lie for animals are
Joseph Cook, Trinitarian, and James
Freeman Clark, Unitarian. Some ten
years ago a man left by will to Mr..
Bergh's New York Society about one
hundred and fifty Thousand dollars.
Relatives contested the will on the
ground that he was insane because he
believed in g. future life for animals.
The Judge, IN sustaining the will,
said he found that moro than hall
the human race believed the same
thing.
