DR.. O. w. Holmes on Heart Love,

1neVer saw a garment too fine for man
or maid; there never was chair too good
for cobbler or q cooper or king to sit in;
never a house too fine TO shelter the human
head. These elements about us-the glori-
Gus sun, the imperial moon-are not too
good for the human race. Elegance fits
man; but do we not value these tools a lit
tie more than they are worth, and some
times mortgage house for the mahogany
we bring into it? l would rather eat my
dinner of the head of barrel, or dress
after the fashion Of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, or sit on block all my life
than consume all on myself before ! got a
home, and take SO much pains with the
outside when the inside was as hollow as
an empty nut. Beauty is great thing; but
beauty of garment, house and furniture
are tawdry ornaments compared with do
mestic love. All the elegance IN the world
will not make home; and would give
more for spoonful of real heart love than
for whole ship loads of furniture and all
the gorgeousness all the upholsterers IN
the world can gather.

Gen. Butler has tall, square shouldered
and soldier like looking servant who al
ways accompanies him on his travels. The
servant, who Is a South Carolina negro, has
a strongly marked and rather attractive
face, and when he has the general in charge
he exhibits the usual outward signs of Afri-
can importance. He wears frock coat
and very high hat and walks about two
PAGES behind the general. The old warriors
fondness for conversation is well known.
When anything is weighing on his mind
Gen. Butler must talk it over with some
body, and in the absence of close friends he
hammers away at his servant in fashion
that is exceedingly amusing to the lockers
on-New York World.

Acting It's Song.

The white banded mocking bird of south
ern South America-the finest feathered
melodist in the worlds one of the species
that accompany music with appropriate
motions. And just as its song is, SO to
speak, inspired and an improvisation, un-
like any song the bird has ever uttered, so
its motions all have the same character of
spontaneity and follow no order, and yet
have grace and passion and perfect har-
mony with the music unparalleled among
birds possessing q similar habit While
singing he passes from bush to bush, some
times delaying a few moments on and az
others just touching the SUBMITS, and at
times sinking out of sight IN the foliage,
then in an excess of rapture soaring verti-
cally to height of a hundred feet. with
measured wing beats like those of heron.

A PASSING FACE.

Twas but moment. Long enough TO feel
The grateful presence Of her quiet grace
And at her beauty's shrine moment kneel,
To mark the sweetness of her gentle face.
To catch glance from out her downcast eyes
A feetfng light Of violet, more
Than all the colors of the summer Skies
That but moment fingered huttering there.
A moment. Then she vanished; yet to stay
Within my memory, as some distant strain
OF music, rising slowly, dies away,
But fingers yet when all is still again.
Or as dream that fits across the mind
When care is bound by all forgetting sleep
Too soon will vanish, but yet leave behind
a gentle sweetness that the senses keep.
II fate had been but kinder Who can tell
Our paths had been the same, and, hand in hand.
Together we had wandered DER the fell
And crossed the border of the unknown land?
We met TO meet no more. Upon the sea
OF life We pass like ships. a moment seen,
signal shown, a shout thrown cheeriy
Then darkness, waves and distance stretch be-
tween.

Three Trips to Europa YearIr

a Franklin street merchant has for six
years taken his vacation .egulsrly in the
summer by making three round trips in

Lard for Cooking.

In any good household, lard should be
rendered in the kitchen from the best
healthy pork. For small families in cities
who can afford it, it would be advisable to
keep leaf Lard, in summer for few days in
the ice box, in winter in any, cool place
and never more than a supply for a few
days should be laid in. Fresh leaf lard
and beef suet can be cut up and rendered
in frying pan whenever wanted for pre-
pairing meal There is nothing more
offensive than rancid fat used for cooking.
