The Lond of Nod.

There's beautiful land thst the children know,
Where It's summer the whole year round;
Where chocolate drops aud balls aud tops,
Lie thick on the grassy ground;
Where the trees grow tarts and Banbury hearts,
And bulls eyes pop from the pod.
And you never do wrong the whole day long
They call Il the Land II Nod!
When the clock strikes eight aud each curly pate
Lies low on the pillow white;
when the small mouse squeaks and the wainscoi
creaks,
And the shadows dance In the moonlight streaks,
And the star lamps jewel the night;
When the soft lids close on the ripe checks rose,
And the tiny feet that trod
The nursery ho0r are heard no more
Hurrah for the Land OF Nod
There they play in the puddles and steal from the
They juggis with matches and knives;
And they poke such Jokes at the grown up folks,
Who daren't say "Don't" for their lives
All persons who teach are deprived of speech,
And whipped with apickled rod.
And fed upon dates. through dark dungeon CRATES
In the beautiful Land Of Nod.
When the clock strikes eight and each curly pate
Lies low In the darkeDed room;
When the small mouse squeaks and the wainscoi
creaks,
And the shadows dance in the moonlight streaks,
When the soft lids close on the ripe cheeks rose,
And the tiny feet that trod
The nursery floor are heard no more
Hurrah for the Land Of Nodl
All the dear old dollies are mended there
That were broken in the days that have flown;
All the kittens that died in their early pride
To beautiful cats have grown;
All the pleasures upset by the wind and the wet
Smile ont In the sunshine broad;
And the meaning Of "dose" not 3 youngstei

In the wonderful Land Of Nod!
When the clock strikes eight aud each curly pate
Lies low on the dainty bed;
When tine small mouse squeaks and the walnscot

And the shadows dance In the moonlight streaks,
And the dull fires core glows red;

And It's J! for the dreams OF the old, old days
That have fed forever and ave!
For watch and weep, as the dull dawns creep
Upthe cold gray cliffs of the sky.
Could mine eyeds close on that blest repose,
Would the hearts that lie under the sod
Rise to greet the glad sound of my feet and beat
On my heart-in the Land Of Nod

Pleasure and Pain.

Thus no one can define life or death, and
pleasure and pain are equally incapable Of
definition, or even of accurate description
We think we know what it is to live and feel
pleasure or pain, but when we attempt to ex-
press our thoughts by words we discover that
the feat is impracticable. The answer to the
question "What is pain" must therefore be,
mo one knows" This is how far we have
proceeded in the quest for "A definitive answer
Pain is a sensation which more or less rapidly
and acutely assails the faculty of endurance
In its commonest forms it is suffering pro-
duced by nerve excitation, the elements of
tho merry GUS apparatus being either directly
or by transmitted irritation mechanically
disturbed. For example, compressed, as in
squeezing or bursting pain; or stretched, as
when the pain is aching or tearing, bruised
or lacerated, as when the pain Is due to cut
or wound of some sort. 1t mot of course
always the fact that these mechanical injuries
to nervous tissue take place at the point to
which pain Is referred, because, being a sensa-
tiou, pain is felt at some seat of sensa-
ton that is in connection with the sensory ap-
paratus affected, although 1t may be remote
from the point where the impression is pro-
duced. In short, pain may be d message of
suffering sent from some injured part through
chain of nerve elements as a messages Of

Brown Stone and Black Walnut,

The black walnut era still maintains its
ugly origin in the scores of houses that are
going up all over the city. Usually it is white
wood stained in imitation of black walnut
1t makes one groan in spirit and long for the
artistic millennium to inspect the interiors of
most of the houses. 1t may be that the fault
is not with the builders, and that they furnish
what their customers demand. How long
will it be before people will learn that brown
stone and black walnut are no longer badges
of responsibility, that brick, terra Gotta and
ash, or oak or cherry, even in imtative
shapes, are more beautiful, more durable,
and give evidence of better tastes-Brooklyn

How a Boy Got OF.

A boy named by the monitor was ordered
to stand out" He took his place clear of the
desk in the gangway of the school, and, with
the certainty of punishment hanging over
him, had to wait until file of takers had
been collected When the row of the con-
demned had become somewhat long, and
when there was pause in the occupation of
the autocrat, the Christening began. For this
offense the sentence mostly took effect on the
palms of the hands, and the two strings, one
of culprits coming to the ordeal, the other Of
victims with quivering hands tucked under
their arms, and bowling. grooming, or with
difficulty suppressing their emotion as they
wound their way back to their seats, might
possibly have been objects replete with inter-
est to a student of human nature, but were
too common to excite much attention among
us.
There was one little imp, as I remember,
who used skillfully to skip across from this
advancing to the retreating column, hug his
hands, and howl as if he had been smitten
and SO to get back unscathed to his place. It
was dangerous trick, the penalty of which,
il it had been detected, dare not contem-
plate. know but of this one boy who tried
it.-Blackwood's Magazine.

A Valuable Cherry Tree.

Six hundred dollars seems a large price for
one cherry tree, but that the sum paid
fer one in Santa Clara county. 1t was re-
quired to be removed to make way for the
New Almaden railroad. The owner de-
manded 5000 for it; experts were appointed,
and it was proved that the tree had for years
yielded the owner crops of fruit which sold
for sums equivalent to the interest on tho
amount claimed. BY compromise 5000 was
accepted for the tree. This will give our
eastern friends some idea of the value of fruit
trees and the profit derived from them in

make up good watch than the men behind

LOVES SACRIFICE.
Gethsenane

Gethsemane
Denied our Lord all human sympathy,
And deepest grief
Is that we bear alone for others sake,
smiling the while, lest loving hearts should break.
For our relief.

Beneath your burdens great, but make no plant,
Lift up your eyes.
Somewhere beyond, the life you give is found;
Somewhere we know, by Gods own hand is
crowned

in Philadelphia yesterday, in q

Randall men were badly routed.

whelming victory, and Mr.. Randall
saved only the two delegates appor
toned to his congressional district.
In one of the wards, the chairman
used . Ratchet for gayel, and when
the meeting became uncomfortable

the meeting, Ratchet in hand, and
attempted to scalp an employe in
the Mint who was badly used up in
the fracas. Much blood was spilled
but no one was seriously injured.

ABOVE all men, the religious

ABOVE all men, the rellglOus
teacher should be careful OF his
utterances, and above all protesting
responsibility and responsibility the
religious teachers are sometimes
most reckless in their expressions.
Here comes the eminent Cardinal
Manning, the head of the Catholic
church in England, with the asser-
ton that "a starving man has q
right to his neighbours bread. /" Ii
the Cardinal meant that, he should
discard his hat and enroll himself
in the ranks of the Anarchists, for
the doctrine here expressed is in
perfect harmony with those OF the
most advanced section of that revo.
lutionary order. DR.. McGlYnn
was read out of the Catholic church
and dwarfed into insignifcance for
preaching less Objectionable doc
trine. What better cry would the
loafer Anarchist want than this !!
All he asks now is that he shall
have his neighbours bread, that he
shall live in idleness on the earnings
of his thrifty fellows. 1t is evident
that the Cardinal talks from the
hypothesis that all men are broth
ers, all children of the same Father,
and that this being true, possessions
should be common; what one holds
in abundance should be shared by
all who are in need. This may be
good theoretical Christianity, but
how would it operate in practical
life ? Not very we'll, we take it.
Human nature is such that fully
one.half of mankind would at once
cease both mental and physical ef-
fort, and reducing themselves to a
condition of want, would take board
and lodging with those who possess
the means to make them comfort
able and support them in idleness.
Every horny handed Anarchist in
the country would at once become
"a gentleman of elegant leisure. and
tramps would blossom out as the
social and financial equals OF any
body. There is good deal better
doctrine in the divine command to
man: ''In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread" In this We
find the Lord intends that man
shall earn what he has, and there is
no intimation that he shall consume
the substance of his neighbor. Car
dinal Manning should be more
cautious If he would avoid being
regarded as an apostle of one of the
very worst isms ever born to prey
upon mankind.
