The Flight of Time.

On wings of air-unseen, unfelt-
Old Father Time keeps ioTneying.
Scattering death from either wing
Over the earth and starry belt.
Where'er there is a living thing;
None living on this ball OF earth
Can tell us of his hour Of BIRTH
Or when he'll reach his Journey end
And with the last of all things blend
Age after age through cycles roll
We die and sleep in Mother Earth;
But upward mounts the deathless soul
The throne OF God its sparkling goal.
Though dark pollution stains its birth;
in awful Judgment there we meet
While kneeling at Jehovahs feet;
But Jesus pleads for US, and We
Are cleansed of SINS iniqulty
Time on his flight cares not for souls
His object is to reach the end,
The end Of all things; then he tolls
His knell with Death s his trusty friend.
Be always happy, as the years
Roll onward toward eternity:
Remember that Christs friendship cheers,
And who so frlliy true as he?
The foregoing is the last poem written by the
late Prof John II. Hewitt. who left Savannah
in 1873, and made bis home in Baltimore

Crows as Street Cleaners,

The city of Omaha has in its SER
Eice force of thousands Of scayengers,
who draw no pay, report to no official,
but are protected by law from molesta-
ton. They are the crows who flock into
town as regularly as cold weather
comes, stay during the winter, and
vanish in the Spring. Each evening
as the shadows fall, legions of crows
wing their way in seemingly endless
flight to the willow copses and clumps
of small cottonwood trees on the banks
of the Missouri, where they roost for
the night. A favorite haunt is at the
bend of the river between Cut OFF and
Florence Lakes, where the banks
shelter them from the northwest wind.
The air is thick with sable wings and
resonant with hoarse caws there after
sunset each night, as the scavengers
settle down among the branches to
dream of back area lunches and carrion
spreads.
With the break of day the sable
flock bestirs itself. Each member hops
to warm its chilled legs, stretches its
shiny wings, and heads back towards
the city. The vast flock breaks into
small groups, and they alight here and
there on the tree tops and survey the
back yards and alleys until they can
pick out foraging places. Then they
descend, and in short order the re.
mains of the breakfasts, the scraps of
meat from markets, and the rats killed
by household dogs and cats are
gobbled up. Some crows do scaven-
ger work about the residences. Others
alight cautiously in the alleys, and
others are attracted to the stock yards
aud packing houses.--Omaha World.

THE CARE OF RAZORS.

have amateur shsvers bring up their razors
TO be txed up. Almost any man with Q
stcsdy hand can shave himself, but not
one id fifty can keep his razor in decent
condition. The first reason is that anna.
teurs wear all the temper out Of their
fazors by excessive strappipg, and the
better the steel the easier it Is affected
in this way. The only remedy is to let
It alone. Put away the razor that scrspes

rest. Then use itsesin, and In all probs.
bility it will be in good shape. Some Of
tho modern shaving sets have as many
razors as there are days in the week, and

name Of the day. II a rotation Is kent up
very little sharpening is needed. have
heard men talk OF pet razors which they
have used SO many years; II they would
iet those lie by for a while they would

Receipt Preferred to a Personal Voucher

There was commoion at the
clerks desk in the Essex Market
Police Court. The clerk was holding
a discussion with a blear-eyed man
over the rail.

"It you please, your honor just

A FLEA FOR RRrrER TASTE.

a writer in Success with Flowers
makes an appeal to that magazine to
/ suggest prettier "out-door fixings" for
| our homes. This is a field we may all
enter and fruitful one 1T is.
The writer in question whose artistic
| taste has been shocked writes:
l know of one house, and the design
| is very pretty, that has this abomin-
able arrangement. The front porch is
painted light blue. In it are two beer
kegs, one on top of the other, both
painted black with yellow stripes. In
the top one is planted miserable
looking Cactus; the whole effect Is SO
queer that one stops, not to admire,
but laugh. Now ii the beer kegs, pro-
v1ded they must use them, had not
been painted, but Nasturtiums had
been allowed to cover the sides, it
would have been quite pretty, especial
" if strings Lad been tied up to the
sides of the porch, and a Bullnose vine
trained on them. Another lady has
row of large flower pots on her front
piazza painted scarlet. We say on
pa sing not, "Wbat pretty plants" but
See those red flower pots" In a
front yard L saw the lower part of a
large tree trunk; it was turned bottom
side up the larger part was in the air,
and few plants in it. An old stump,
looking as if 1t had once been a tree in
that very place, but cut down and vines
dropping over, is very picturesque
looking thing. But Il ere was nothing
like the specimen L saw in heaven
above, or earth beneath. What Is
there more beautiful for The breakfast
table than charming GlorIes9 And they
grow so easllyl Three Inches between
sidewalk and the hous is enough, and
trained over the din ng room windows.
What Can be prettier? We can do a
great deal more to beautify our homes,
even if We live IN crowded streets. We
can learn something from the Chinese.
Th, ir land is called Flowery kin gdom.
Flowers, even the poorest will have,
and if they have no yards, they will
fasten mp box on poles and have some
dourishing plant growing in It.

HEADACHE

Headache IS the disorder most complained
nowadays, and against which the greater
number of the so-caled home remedies are sp
piled. In most cases, however, they are not tn,
proper remedies, because most people are is
norant Of the true character Of the numerOu
causes of the disorder. And yet 1t IS a verI
simple matter indeed. In nine cases out of tel
h.adache is produced by disoTdeTed stomach
and consequent imperfect circulation of thu
hood which causes congestion in the head
The physicians therefore call 1t gastric head
ache, while II Is more commonly known as slck
headache. II appears in different forms
Sometimes IL occurs as dull pain in the fore
head. agaiu as sharp acute pain, then agaiI
as feeling Of general oppression, and finally
violent throbbing Of the arteries against tn,
temples. In most of these cases cold feet ans
general languor are added 10 the other symp
toms. The last mentioned symptoms parIicu
larly are an infalhble guide 10 the cause. n,
sickness, no lndispositi0n can be thoroughly
cured unless the treatment be directed toward
Graduating the root OF the evil. In this case
the disordeIed or overloaded stomach and liver
which are the source OF the headache, must bs
regulated and put into sound condition. Fol-
this purpose there is no more effective remedy
and none that is better adapted TO pro
mote the general health than the st. Ber

The Great Chinese Puzzls.

Imagine a language devoid OF gram
mar or syntax; unhampered by delu-
sions, moods, lenses, or infections OF
sny kind; essentially monosyllabic; in
which the slightest change of pitch in
he voice completely modifes the SEN
tence; subject to no rules of logic or
construction; language petrified into
solid blocks, and representing human
thoughts as a maniac represents a
picture; a language in which every

of the country; a language which once
written can no longer be read, but
must be scanned-and even then you
have imagined but few OF the char
acteristic peculiarities Of Chinese.

In the other, scraped off the scales

and put il in O moist heat of about 65
degrees. After having been sown for
about q month, there began to be
shown signs of life, aud the soil has
now become entirely covered with the

FLOWER NOTES.
Plant bulbs for winter blooming as
soon as possible in order to secure
early bloom. Set them in the cellar or
some cool, dark place. Water them
often enough to keep the soil moist
and bring them to the light and air
when the tops begin to grow, setting
them in sunny window aud giving
them plenty of light and air and not
too high temperature.
