Many hOusekeepers never seem to

we'll be done while sitting, also the
stoning and picking over of raisins

noticing as you pass through a room
what is out of place and taking such
things as belong in that part of the
house for which you are bound along
with yous and bringing back what you
know you will soon want to
use. Also in cooking, if going
to the cellar for eggs, f. it
is just as we'll to find out how much
butter is going to be needed, and get

strength when we have itthan to sigh
for it after q needless expenditure.

Long ago the song Was sung,
Long ago, when was young,
And my heart in time would beat
With the music soft and sweet.
There was something that would start
Glad emotions in my heart
Something In the words which made
Joy grow bright and sorrow fade,-
Something in the notes Of Joy
Giving courage to the boy ,.~,.

Dreaming Of the present man.
Never comes these scraps but
Seem to feel her standing by.
Oh that all the notes might come
Back from lips forever, dumb,
So that I might render whole
This marred music of the soul!
Oh that again might bring
Back this song she used to sing!
I should sing it till my eyes,
Through rift in Paradise,
Caught vision of her face
Smiling from her dwelling. place;
I should sing 1t line by line
Till her lips should answer mine;
Ishould sing it DER and DER
Till seemed boy once MORE
Till my dream became in truth
Her who sang 1t to my youth!

be Called Peter Gun.
There is q man on Sixth avenue,
New York, who rejoices in the title of
Peter Gun. He has been through
more changes of name than a woman
five times married. The appellation
left him by his father, who was a ma
tive CT Alsace, was half German, as
are so many of the Alsatian names.
After the Franco-Prussian war and the
annexation of his province, he became
disguised with life under Teutonic
rule, and determined to emigrate to
Canada. To America he came, bear
ing still intact his patronymic of
Feurstein. The French acquaint-
ances he made in Quebec entirely re-
fused to accept this version of two we'll
known words, and translated his name.
Pierre de Ecu he was called in the
French quarter of the old Canadian
town, and the English inhabitants fol-
lowed their suggestion of paraphrase
and dubbed him Mr.. Flint, a good En-
glish equivalent of ;Feurstein. In
course of time Mr.-well, any thing,
you choose to call him-drifted to New
York, and into the part of town inhab-
tied by his countrymen. Here he was
again translated literally from Mr..
Flint into NJ. Pierre de Fusil, and SO
remained until his business brought
him permanently out of the French
part of town, and he underwent his
fourth translation into Peter Gun, and
will probably so remain until he makes
mother move. Mr.. Gun is a jovial
'erson, and regards this instability of
anne with cheerful philosophy.
Ie says the only objection he
las is that people who are
not familiar with the circum-
stances are apt to look with a.
certain suspicion upon the fact that
letters are addressed to him under all
i've of his involuntary aliases, which
,avors somewhat of the methods of
,reen goods aud confidence men.
There has been a young Virginian
lere at the Hoffman House who labors
under disadvantages of the sort, but
his is an inherited defect and not
brought upon him by his own careless,
ness or Indifference. He always has
difficulty in getting his letters and the
cards of callers from the fact that he
spells his name Ennoughty and calls it
Darby. When man comes in and
asks for Mr.. Darby the clerk naturally
turns to the lester D in the registry
and, when he can't find it, declares
there is, as Mrs. Camp would say,
mo SIGH person. in the caravansary;
or, if the gentleman comes in,
person to the Office and inquiries for
letters for Mr.. Darby, the clerk per-
emptorily declines to hand over the
missives addressed to Mr.. Ennoughty.
Mr.. Enn0ughty has learned through
troublesome experience to make this
whole matter clear to the hotel clerk
when he registers and, when he is i'm
troduced to a young woman, to spell
his title for her at once, SO that if he
subsequently calls the young lady is
not forced to puzzle over his card and
finally decide that she has met no such
man, and consequently refuse to see,
him. He declares it to be an endless
Inconvenience and annoyance, but
sort Of family pride in the uniqueness
Of the situation prevents his choosing
definitely and finally between En-
noughty and Darby. - Bsooklyn Eagle.

WISE WORDS.

The rose grows among the thorns.
Where content is, there is feast.
Steal the goose aud give the giblets in
aims.
When the head is sick the whole body
is sick
The envious mans face grows sharp
and his eyes big.
Necessity is the argument of tyrants,
it is the creed of slaves.
BY the very constitution OF our nature,
moral evil is its own curse.
He who throws himself under the
b,nch will be left to lie there.
lie who wishes to secure the good OF
Others has already secured his own.
The place honors not the man; tits the
man who gives honor 10 the place.
The doctor who prescribes gratui
tously gives worthless precription.
The thief who finds no opportunity to
steal considers himself an honest man.
Thy friend has friend, and thy
friends friend has friend; be discreet
Man sees the mote in his ncigLbor's
eye, but knows not the beam in his own.
II n word spoken in its time is worth
one piece OF money, silence in its time
is worth two.
When thou art the only purchaser,
then buy; when other buyers arc present
be thou nobody.
For people to live happy together the
great secret is that they should not live
too much together.
AS the ole man grows more and more
laundering, If he will grow more careful.
it will go far to counterbalance that in
trinity.
Repent the day before thy death.
Consider every day as possibly your
last, and be ever prepared through
penitence).
II is worth while to expose our ignor-
ance to others, that we may learn IL our.
selves. This is many times the only way
VIC shall ever lea-n it.
A good name when deserved gives n
strength and mild courage, quiet bold
ness and modest assurance, which arc
worth all that they cost.
1t is not very strange that man
should mistake in point of duty; short
sighted, crook sighted. blurred and dc.
fective, what else could be expected'
1t is no great matter to live lovingly
with good natured, humble and meek
persons; but he who can do so with the
froward, wilful, ignorant, pecyish and
perverse hath true charity.
