THE SILVER LINING.
HRLEN KEITH.

A fisherman sat at his door one day,
Watching the clouds that heavy and gray
Obscured the sunlight's shining,
And said to Bright Eyes at his knees;
"Look yonder out in the West and see
The cloud with the silver lining"
I think when our skies are cold and gray,
And we vainly seek to find the way,
Somewhere the light is shining.
If we brayely resolve to do our part,
And bear our griefs with patient heart,
And free from all repining.
We shall be led to higher way,
To better work than we do today,
And find loves sunlight shining
For truth of spirit and strength of soul
Will make the darkest cloud unroll
And show its silver lining.

NTacamInx as an Orator.

Men listened to Macaulay with respect,
weighed his arguments, reflected on
what he had said were often convinced,
sometimes converted; but nowhere did
crowds of eager listeners and ardent ad-
miiers bend beneath the music of his
voice or the lightning glance of his eye.
An old friend of mine, recently dead,
who had often heard him and remem-
bered him perfectly, assured me that he
was a great power so years ago, and he
believed that his oratorical triumphs
hardly received full credit in those days.
Macaulay himself said that one of his
chief defects as a public speaker was his
extraordinary rapidity of utterance,
which spoiled the effect of his words.
His speeches resembled carefully pre-
pared essays, delivered with incredible
rapidity and some want of impressive
ness, rather than the spontaneous out
burst of the orators full heart Fluency
and great facility in finding the right
words are not an unmixed gain to the
speaker. Appropriate pauses and en-
phasis are even more important; other
wise a torrent of words lack impressive
ness. Then the management of the
voice counts very much. A speech that
flows on like a rope unwound from u
cylinder is not a good one. Again, to
be successful a speech must be enlivened
with anecdotes or humor; people can
always read for solid instruction, but
platform speaker must amuse and please
rather than teach.-[Gentleman's Maya

AN ECONOMICAL MAN.

He lived on thirteen cents day
Ten cents for milk and cracke
One cent for dissipation gay
And two cents for tobacco.
And If he wished an extra dish
He'd take his pole and catch fish.
And II his stomach raised war
'Gainst his penurious habit.
He'd go and kill a woodchuck or
Assassinate a rabbit.
And thus he'd live In sweet content
On food that never cost cent.
And, that he might lay by in bank
The proceeds of his labor,
He'd happen round at meals, the crank,
And dine upon his leighbor.
And then he'd eat enough TO last
Until another day had passed.
He bought no pantaloons nor vest,
Nor rich, expensive jacket;
He had one suit-his pas bequest--
He thought would stand the racket"
He patched 1t thirty years, tits true,
And then declared twas good as new.
He owned but one suit to his back
And minus cuffs and collars,
He died, and left his nephew Jack
Nine hundred thousand dollarsl
And Jack he ran this fortune through
And only took year OF two.

The OWNING Rod.

about divining rods and their efficacy,
we infer it to be subject which in
terests a great many persons. The
latest account on this mystic subject
comes from Australia. Mr.. William
Spiers, M. A., F. @. s., f. R. NJ. S.,
writes to the Mining Standard,
"Probably most of your readers have
heard of the 'divining rod, and have
concluded that it was either a myth
or that its effects were the result of
evil agency. The reports that by its
means subterranean watercourses or
buried minerals have been discovered
are generally rejected as mere ru>
mors, or as instances of self-deception
or even fraud, / confess have been
myself quite q skeptic in regard to
the matter, but / have now what |
consider good reasons for recanting.
Being recently in the company of a
few geolOgists on the Yorkshire
WOlds, it was stated that one of our
company was able to discover hidden
water or metals by means of the
magic rod. Our friend cut out OF. the
hedgerow fork of hawthorn shaped
like a long V. Holding prong in
each hand, with the apex downward,
we soon had an opportunity of seeing
that there was something in it,
Here and there as he slowly walked
along, the apex of the branch curled
upward as if alive. knew the gen
tleman too well to suspect that he
was cheating us, but, in order to see
that he was not self.deceived, |
placed my hand around the muscles
which must have moved had the
contortions of the rod been due to
unconscious muscular cOntractions.
1 quite satisfied myself upon that
point.
81 then requested him to close his
eyes, and l led him over a small
rivulet that was running down the
hill on which we were walking, and
the moment he reached it the rod
commenced its remarkable move
ments. AS soon as | touched it with
my fingers it resumed its natural po-
sition. For water it moved away
from him, but for metals it swung
round in the opposite direction. To
test this a botanical case made of
galvanized iron was brought near
our necromancer, and the rod at once
flew up. Our friend related many
discoveries that he has made during
the last 90 years. Generally he used
hazel. Copper wire shows the same
peculiarities, and this we were able
to see at the time. When standing
on a nOn.conductor, such as broken
china, the effects were not produced.
Our comrade is a student of science,
and has not sought to make money
by his gift, and this, of course, makes
it impossible to doubt his integrity.
s'He has plans of wells that have
been sunk in various places as the
result of his indications, and in one
instance he was instrumental in dis.
covering disused and forgotten gas
main. AS he found out quite acci>
dentally that he possessed this
faculty, it may be that some Of your
readers may make similar discovery
in regard to themselves, and, as
Abraham Cowley puts it, may amuse
themselves by searching with fond
divining rods among the dead for
treasures buried.'"

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man
of Burlington, Ohio, states that he

was persuaded to try DR.. Kings New

to walk across the street without rest

Anniversary of the Battle of Trenton.

TRENTON, n. j., Dec. 26.-To-day is the
one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of
the revolutionary battle of Trenton, and it
was made notable by the laying of the cor
ner stone of a monument TO the memory of
Washington and the Continental troops,
who, after crossing the icy Delaware dur
ing Christmas night, surprised and routed
the Hessians. Governor Abbott laid the
stone at noon, while a salute of forty-four
guns was hreG. An indoor meeting was
held at the Taylor opera house, at which
General William J. Sewell presided at the
meeting, and after a snort introductory
address United States Senator Mcpherson,
General Horace Porter, of New York, and
ex-Secretary of the Navy Robson spoke.
The monument will cost about 500, COG.

pensated for the loss of stock, in the fact
of having their winter wheat well pro-
tected. In the interior portion of the state
a heavy fall of snow occurred before it
turned so cold, consequently winter grain
is well protected. The storm extended
throughout Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming
and the Dakotas. In Wyoming the loss of
stock is reported unusually large, with a
complete train blockade.
