Judge A. l. Palmer of the Supreme

and was walking along Pennsylvania
avenue, when suddenly was tapped on
the shoulder from behind, and before I

familiar voice sing out: How do you
do, GeneralP had never seen the man
before in my life. And who do you
think 1t was? Why, no less person
than Judge Blatchford, Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. He smiled
when he had discovered his mistake
and so did 1; and he then added: Well,
Judge, really thought it was General

said Judge Palmer, in a kindly tone, sin
being mistaken sometimes for the brave
and venerable old veteran Of your
Union army, who I hope will enjoy
many more years of life and vigor."

VALUE OF REGULARITY.
1t Ii Conservative of Health and Con-
ducive to Comfort.

1t Ii Conservative of Health and Con-
ducive to Comfort.
By this term we mean, of course, a
mode of life that is characterized by
habits of order and respect for moral
obligation. In its effect regularity is
conservative of health and conducive
to comfort. And resultantly, he who
practices it renders his vocation and
social connections efficient means of
personal advancement Regularity is
of great Importance to the busy man,
for it enables him to accomplish vast
| amount of work. He may not have the
talent or brilliancy Of his neighbor, but
if that neighbor is handicapped by the
disposition to irregular, spasmodic eff
fort, and works without method, the
formers regularity will enable him to
achieve much more of useful and pre-
cious service. Steady, systematic doing
| in any line of honorable labor is sure to
give man or woman creditable place
| in the community. ''Seest thou man
that is diligent about his business"
says the prophet, ''he shall stand before
| kings" We are not told of the nature
OF the calling that is likely to lead to
the preferment implied, but left to in
| fer that it may be any thing in which a
man can honestly engage. We hear to-
day SO much of nervous overstrain; is
| il not due mainly to the confusion that
men allow to creep into their employ
ments? Regularity relieves mental ten
sion; it is labor saver, and prevents
WORRY. 1t trains the brain and mind to
| work with ease and efficiency, and even
in unexpected emergencies it reduces
the friction that occurs then, and keeps
| the mental balance unbroken.
The young man or young woman
who early sets his mental house in order
by establishing the habit of regularity,
laws a good foundation for a successful
career. Wherever he may go, he or she
/ will be sure to obtain the notice and con-
fidence of Others. The irregular man or
woman. despite the gifts that may be
theirs, becomes an annoyance ultimately
in their circle, because they can not
be trusted. Indeed, sit goes with
out saying" that this should be the case.
It is a great mistake for one to think
that regularity limits capacity by re.
stricting the exercise of the faculties.
On the contrary. it is mental discipline
that, like exercise to the muscles, ex.
| pands and strengthens capacity through
the orderly exercise and control OF
faculty. Further, as a time-saver 1t
conduces to diversity of occupation
and consequent rest and recreation OF
faculty. The mind that works accord
ing to physiological law is more efficient
than the mind that disregards law, and
regularity is q prime element in the
observance of nervous law.-Phrenologi-
cal Journal

spicy odor diffused itself through the
room. and a little note was seen lying
on the heavy paper that securely hid
from view the contents below. He tore
open the note and read-read easily
enough, for the old-fashioned charac-
tiers were as plain as print although
the hand that had wrought them had
trembled not little in the writing.
''MY DEAR SoS-In this box you viii find q
few things from home. II is the first time,
John that you have ever missed eating the
Thanksgiving dinner with US, and l could not
bear to think that you would not have share

you very much. Your father is not very well

EVENING ADJUSTMENTS.
Games and Exercises That Are Very Much
to Be Commended.

Games and Exercises That Are Very Much
to Be Commended.
We were seated in the pleasant parlor
of town house, and F. with his vio-
lin, and mamma and little sister at the
piano, had given US some very charm
ing music There was still an hour be-
fore the children's holiday bedtime
should arrive, and some one proposed
that it he spent in a pleasant game of
word-guessing.
The sweetest and dearest, obliging as
usual, volunteered to go out of the room
while a line of poetry was selected.
The line from stanza of the Ancient
Mariner was presently chosen:
THE wedding guest he beat his breast"
and our friend came in, and beginning
at one extreme of the circle, asked
questions of each person in turn. She
was allowed to ask any sort of question
she pleased, and the person questioned,
in his or her reply, was obliged to bring
in deity, and with as little emphasis as
possible, the word which had been as
signed, for each of us had taken word
in order. Thus No. had ''the;;" No. 2,
wedding" No. 8, guest" and so on.
The questioner was permitted three
separate guesses as to the word on
hearing the answer of each, and you
would hardly believe that the familiar
line went twice around the circle be-
fore it was finally discovered.
Such an exercise is very much to be
commended for an evenings pleasure
at home. 1t gives an opportunity for
nimble wits in constructing puzzling
sentences; and those who take part in
the game gather up sheaf of poetical
lines which linger in the memory. Odd
| bits of information come to hand, and
even well-read people ara sometimes
surprised to be told that the line they
thought belonged to Moore was really
written by Campbell, or that some fine
sentiment which they had attributed to
Shakespeare came from long-gone
classic source.
After this game, il there be nuts and
apples for sociability. and song or two
| from the pretty daughter or the older
brother, another violin solo, or a chapter
from "Ben-Hur" or some other good
book, the evening will be voted charm
ingly satisfactory. For reading aloud
at home, The Capitals of Spanish
America, by William Eleroy Curtis, has
proved delightful, enlisting the atten.
ton of everybody, and giving the
pleasant experiences of travel without
going away from the fire-side.
| In summer, when the conversation on
the piazza flags, such quiet amusements
as these come in very well to put the
listless mood to flight. 1t is worth
while to plan a little for an evenings
enjoyment, so that to young and old
there may be no place like home. =

The early morning train bore John
Williams on and on, through the hours
of the forenoon. nearer and nearer the
old placer and then, getting of at the
little station, he walked two miles
along the old familiar roadway, and TO
the little brown farmhouse, and then
through the low gateway and along the
walk, and as his mother heard his we'll
known step upon the porch she ran to
meet him at the door,
Then there was the Joy Of meeting
the father, the relatives and friends,
young and old, gathered at the old
homestead for the great family festival
of the year. Then the delightful meal
prolonged until late in the day, and the
happy evening around the hearthstone.
That night John Williams slept once
more in the little, Iow-roofed chamber
of his boyhood; and as he dreamed the
ambitions and hopes of his pure and
innocent youth came back to him and
stayed with him ever after, and though
in later years evil visions and false
hopes and ambitions might assail him,
they never gained power over him
again. Amid the care and responsible
ity of an upright business life he often
looked back with thankfulness to the
night he was saved from downward
course by his mothers Thanksgiving

A siberian Exile,s Story.

An escaped Siberian exile. who has
been in England some time under the
name of Felix Brant Is now made
known by the new paper called Free
Russia as Felix Volkhoysky. The rea-
son for his retention Of an assumed
name for some time after his safe ar
rival on free soil helps one to realize
the terrible anxieties Of the unfortu-
nate men who offend the Russian Gov
eminent He was afraid that his child
might be seized by the Government,
and that they would punish him for his
escape through his daughter. She Is
now safe in London, and the anxieties
of the parent on her account are at an
end. He endured seven years Of soli-
tary confinement in Russian fortress
and eleven years exile in Siberia for
political opinions in which we are told
terrorism had no part Eluding the
vigilance of the Siberian authorities,
he made mis- way right across Siberia
to the Pacific and so to Canada The

1t has been the means OF recalling me
to myself, and showing me how foolish
and selfish and unprincipled l have
BEEN" and a flush of shame came over
his face as he thought of his follies.
Pulling out his watch, he scanned its
fare eagerly, and exclaimed: 81 can
catch the early morning train and get
home in time to eat dinner with the
folks, aud surprise them all. am go
ing home" 1t did not take very long
to write a note excusing himself from
his engagement with his friend Morton
for the next day, nor to write to his en-
pleyers of his intended trip and the
hour he would return on Friday, nor to
prepare for his journey.
In the midst of his preparations, how
ever, he thought of the eatables on the
table. The tender feelings that filed
his heart forbade his leaving them to
an uncertain fate. He hastily ran over
his list of acquaintance to see if he
could think of any one to whom they
would be an acceptable gift. At length
he remembered two young medical stu
dents rooming q few squares away,
whose acquaintance he had made some
weeks since, ard as he recalled the &C.
counts they had given him with the in
genuousness of youth, of their peregrin-
atoms from one cheap restaurant to an
other, until in despair they were at
tempting to do their own cooking, he
felt that there was the place to send his
mothers gift. He repacked the box
carefully as possible, picturing to him
self the delight with which those poor
homesiek boys would greet that turkey
and mince pie. A brief note of explaB-
alton to them replaced his mothers
note to him. He then hastily COM
pleted his preparations, left explicit
directions concerning the sending of the
box, and was soon on his way to the
depot.
And the box went to a narrow street
and up four flights of stairs to small
back room, and made two young fellows
so happy that they called in two other
student friends to enjoy their feast with
them, and the way they devoured the
turkey, pies, and other good things
would astonish any who looked on,
unless. indeed, like them, he had been
for two long months far away from
home, and struggling along with slen-
der means and eating at cheap eating
houses.
