p. t. Barnum's Childhood Philosophy.

If you would be as happy as child,
please one.
Childish wonder is the first step in hu-
man wisdom.
To best please child is the highest
triumph of philosophy.
To stimulate wholesome curiosity in the
mind of the child is to plant golden
seed.
would rather be called the children's
friend than the worlds king.
Amusement to children is like rain to
flowers.
He that makes knowledge most attrac-
tive to the young is the king of sages.
Childish laughter is the echo of heav-
emily music.
The noblest art is that of making
Others happy.
Wholesome recreation conquors evil
thoughts.
Innocent amusement transforms tears
into rainbows.

The First SnecfacIes.

The first spectacles, which were very
expensive, were made in Italy. Some
what later the manufacture of cheaper
glasses sprang up in Holland, and it
spread late in the fourteenth century to
Germany, Nurnberg and Rathenow
acquired fame for their glasses between
1890 and 1900. For many years glasses
were used only as means of aiding bad
eyes. First in Spain appeared the fashion
of wearing glasses merely for the sake Of
wearing them. 1t spread rapidly to the
rest of the Continent, and brought about
the transformation of the old thirteenth
century spectacles into eyeglasses, and
eventually into the monocle, "the cos

His Grandmother Was Revolutionary
Veteran.

Professor Gilbert Thompson, lately
elected member of the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution, based
his claim to membership on his descent
on his fathers side from Private Nath-
aniel Gilbert, faithful soldier in Wash
ington's army, and on the mothers side
from Private Deborah Gaunett, who,
moved thereto by steal for the good of
her country, enlisted under the name of
"Robert Shurtleff, and served for nearly
three years, when she was honorablY dis
charged, having been present at the cap
ture of Cornwallis and wounded at Tarry-

a pension by the United States, her pc
tition therefor being supported by the

Decay of New England's Hill Towns.

This decay of great numbers of the
hill towns of New England is undeniable
and most serious, writes Edwin s.
Mead, in the Ne,0 England Magazine.
The spectacle presented in scores of
towns in New Hampshire and Vermont
and Massachusetts,, once scenes Of vigor
Gus and successful life, is certainly
melancholy. The main reasons for it are
not hard to find, and they are clearly
pointed out by almost every writer who
addresses himself to the subject. They
lie in the opening up of the great West,
with the easier conditions of its fertile
lands in the agricultural competition,
and in the wonderful development of
manufactures in New England, with the
beckonings to the hills of the rivers and
the cities. But it is not hard to see that
these beckonings from the factory and
the prairie cannot possibly continue so
strong as they have been during the last
fifty years; and there is no reason to
doubt that a new era of prosperity lies
before every one of these hill towns. The
New Englander need not fall into a
panic, DuJ u6 Will uO WCll IL IuO uloSuo-
sion, now become so general and urgent,
leads him to follow DIR. Dike's advice
and study the matter in a really method
ical and careful way. He will do well
if he learns to love the country better
than himself, and to live more in the
country, resisting the feverish aud un-
wholesome impulse to huddle forever in
the town, and if he magnifies the farm
er's calling. He will help the case if he
does something toward carrying into the
country what is best in the town, and the
hunger for which so often drives the
lonely young man and woman from the
farm-the library, the lecture, music, art,
living church, and whatever makes
possible the valid sharing IN the larger
and significant interests of life.
Meantime, whatever the truth in the
indictment, let not other facts be forgot
ten. New England as a whole was never
so populous OF prosperous as to-day.
The census does not speak the language
of discouragement. Let us compare the
population of the six States, as given by
the recent census and the preceding one;

Evidence of an nI-spent Youth.

The other day Mr.. Spencer sauntered
into the billiard room at the Senior Club,
London, and invited a young Major, who
was the only person there, to take a cue.
The Major did so. Beginning to play
with deliberation the great philosopher
gave a miss in balk. His opponent can

seven, with all the balls out of play.
Mr.. Spencer made another miss. Then

The Boston CuhiDdtor thinks it strange
that "though Germany is opposed to the
importation of American pork, she
admits our beef. Recent shipments of
dressed beef to Hamburg were well re-
ceived, and sold at remunerative prices.
1t was pronounced much superior to the
Australian beef. The masses in Ger
many demand cheaper meat. They will
welcome shipments of American beef,
and before long will force the Govern
ment to admit our pork

Word comes from Brazil that the
youngest Republic on the American con
tinent proposes to bold Worlds Fair
of its own. 1t wants to celebrate Cclum-
bus's discovery and at the same time let
the world know how Republican institu-
tions are working out there. The Bra
zilians have no idea of conflicting with
the celebration at Chicago. Their notion
is at that their exposition may be made
an auxiliary to the Columbian Exposition
of the United States. They propose to
open it january, 1898, at Rio Janeiro.
Thstis the summer season in Brazil. AT
ter a few months their idea is to close
and transfer their whole exhibit to Chi
oago in time for the opening of the Fair.

THE DESERTED FARM.

A dust-worn traveller draws his rein i
At sunsets dreamy hour, !
With longing look DER hill and plain
Gives sway to memory's power.
Long years have passed since last he We've
His native heath and hill,
And silence now with shadowy brood
Makes nature wierdly still.
There stands the homestead of his youth,
And clustering round the door
Come visions bright of love and truth
From memory's endless store.
He secs again his fathers form
Within the doorway stand,
His thin locks, whitened by the storm,
By passing breezes famed;
Mother, and sisters, brothers, there
Resume their wonted place,
And lost awhile in scenes 50 fair
He sees each loving face,
But wakened from his blissful dream,
The past returns no more;
Alone he stands, while sunsets CLEAN
Casts shadows on the door.
Deserted now its windows blank
Stare at the passer-by,
And weeds and grasses, stale and rank,
In wind-swept chaos lie.
No more from pastures green, at night,
To farm-yard comes the kline,
Nor homeward come with hearts so light
The boys of 'auld lang syne."
No neighing steed from yonder stall
Impatient calls his mate,
The shades of night around him fall
And all is desolate.
He turns again-with lingering look
Surveys the old domain.
He hears the murmuring Of the brook
Which onward seeks the plain;
His old New England hillside home,
Amid the gathering gloom
The wanderer turns once more TO roam,
And leave it TO its doom.
The signing winds a requiem sing
Amid the cherries calm,
A saddened memory still to bring

such devices, and they enjoy really good
