Enormous Demand for Eggs

An egg merchant, who goes from house to house
buying eggs, told us few days since, that he ex-
pected to have to pay so cents dozen for eggs
before Christmas.
This is remarkable, when we reflect that the poul-
try industry of this country last year amounted to
nearly seven hundred millions dollars; and even
them had import several million dollars worth
of foreign eggs. Our own eggraisers ought to have
this money. The demand for fresh eggs for food
alone far exceeds the supply. At fifty cents per
dozen eggs are as cheap as beefsteak for food.
Many persons who keep hens will probably not
have an egg to sell when they reach fifty cents.
Some one may ask, "what can body do, when the
pesky old hens stop laying, and the puets refuse
to b. gin until prng?" Why! do as VIM. II. Yeo-
mans, of Columbia, Conn, Editor of the German
town Telegraph did last winter. He says: "Last

Before the Declaration of Indepen-
denoe was published, there was a
strong tory sentiment In New York.
A company of tories on Long Island
was the first to be disarmed by order
of the provincial congress. In South
Carolina there were at that time as
many tories as patriots. Most of the
clergyman throughout the country
were loyal to the King.

1t may be assumed that at a mini
mum the cost of suppressing the re-
bellion was So, 100000, 900. 1t was,
therefore, 81, 135, 100000 year for
seven years. 1t has been held that
maximum product of each person &C.
cupied for gain in 1880 could not
have exceeded 5000 worth labor and
capital were at least one-third more
effective during and since the year
1880 than during the period of war
and reconstruction. If then we val
ue one mans labor from 1861 to 1868
inclusive at $500 a year, the work of
war required the unremitting labor of
2,27O, 900 men for seven years, either
in two armies or in sustaining them.
At $500 each, an estimate probably
nearer to the mark at that time, the
measure would be the constant work
of 1887, 800 men each year for seven
years. The average population of
thai period was 35 900, 900, of-whom
not over one in five could be consid-
cred an able-bodied man of arms
bearing age. The cost of liberty,
therefore, consisted in actual arduous
work at the risk of life for seven
years, Of one man of arms-bearlng
age in every three.

The Songs of Home

Oh, wheels sublime of tireless time,
Turn backward in your fight.
Ring out the chime in fairy rhyme
OF bovhood's music bright!
Like bells of joy outringing,
Those memories old are ciinging,
Now faint, now near, again hear,
In accents clear where'er roam,
My mother sweetly singing,
Singing, sweetly singing,
The dear old songs of home
Make me a boy with boyhood's joy,
AS in the days of old,
When rudy blaze before our gaze
Went up IN sparks of gold,
see the kettle swinging,
The shadows round it clinging,
Till once again in sweet refrain,
On land or main, wher'er l roam,
L hear my mother singing,
Singing, sweetly singing,
The dear old songs of home.
At set of sun, when day was done,
Like silver Ginning bells,
Rose on the air, with evening prayer,
The song we loved so well,
Still in my ears they're ringing,
And memories old are bringing.
Like gentle shower of boyhood's hour,
With subtle power where'er | roam,
OF mother sweetly singing,
Sin ling, sweetly singing,
The dear old songs of home.
No time can blot this fragrant spot,
This chime of silver bells;
But oft my heart, with sudden start,
The secret surely tells.
Then mid the glad bells ringing,
With holy thoughts upspringing,
Now faint, then clear again hear,
In accents dear, where'er l roam,
Mytmother sweetly singing,
Singing, sweetly singing.
The dear old songs of home.

Good thoughts, good motives, good
companionship, are the ifnuences
that mould the mind into form of
real and lasting beauty. An impure
heart, a foul and diseased magma
ton will discover themselves in the
outward features, in spite of all that
art or skillful DISSEMINATION can do.
And there is nothing more repulsive
or hideous to view than corrupt,
sin-disfgured character brought into
sharp contrast by the weak and shall
low DISCUSSES of cosmetics and gaudy
attire. Weakness, patience, kindness,
charitableness, self-denying spirit
these are the vestments of the high
est type of beauty-the kind which
commands not only the admiration of
the best of men, but is admired by
God himself.

Girls Who are in Demand

The girl who are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips;
Pure as the lily is white and pure;
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that wanted are home girls,
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and mothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody secs;
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls,
That know what to do and to say;
That drive with IA smile and a soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted girls of sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what thing will cost,
Who use with prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls with heart
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl,
There are few who can understand,
But, oh! for the wise, loving home girls
There's constant, steady demand

shook his hat to cheer the boys be-
hind, as he saw long line of fresh,
green willows starting up out of the
grass before him.
And didn't the horses dip their
noses in the water. And didn't the
boys slide down from their saddles
and throw themselves beside it. They
all bathed their faces and their horses
nibbled the grass as the riders sat on
the bank and looked anxiously at the
setting sun.
''Stop here and hold the horses till
l come back, said Tatters.
He went down to the edge of the
water and looked long and anxionsly
at the swift little stream. At last he
sprang up and rolled his ragged pants
above his knees and dashed into the
water, clutching little white object
and hurried back to the boys.
''See that A chipl They are en-
camped on a stream somewhere, and
they can't be very far away from
here
Eagerly the boys mounted their
horses and rode close after Tatters.
"And how do you know that they
are close by?" queried one.
"The chip wet only on one
side. 1t has not been ten minutes
in the water
AS Tatters said this the boys ex-
changed glances. They were so
glad to be nearing their father once
more. But it somehow began to dawn
upon them very clearly that they did
not know everything, even if their
father was rich.
Some guns were heard firing for
the lost party. Turning a corner in
the willowy little river they saw the
tents, the wagons in corral, and the
oxen feeding peacefully beyond.

returns handed to the Governor, because

take put the books containing statements
