A SLENDER acquaintance with the

actions, not words, are the true criteri-

that the most liberal professions of good

Beecher's First Home.

One room served for entrance into the
house, for parlor, study and bedroom; the
other to the dining and workroom, writes
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in describing
the first home which she and Mr.. Beecher
had years ago in the west. The bed
room was so small that was obliged to
make the bed on one side first, then go
out on the veranda, raise a window,
reach in and make the bed on the other
side. Not such very troublesome work
after all, when one gets accustomed to
it. The little kitchen, partitioned off
from the veranda, was just large enough
to allow passage between the cooking
table and the stove into the dining room
without burning my dress, and my
table was only divided from Mr. Beech
er's study table by tho partition.
For nearly seven years this was our
home-a home full of cares and no lux
uries, but very happy home-for many
reasons the happiest we ever knew, for
we were less separated there. In Brook
lyn, in later years, Mr.. Beecher's public
duties naturally drew him more away
from the family circle, but in those days
in the west had him almost entirely to
myself. Home Journal.

Bowery Pawnshops.

The pawnbrokers' sales shops have held
me before their windows many and many
an hour since childhood, and today when
pause before one l feel keener touch
of the impulses of youth than anything
else can bring back to me. There is much
humbug in the Bowery, but there is no
humbug in what these stores display. Pa
thos and tragedy are constantly exhibited
and enacted on every block of that throb-
bing avenue, but it ali seems 10 me as
nothing beside the tragic and pathetic
tales that are told by the goods in these
store fronts. The vanity of man is felt
by every poor stranger who is knocked
about and jostled by the crowds that
throng the pavement, but for a sermon
upon vanity know no text in all New
York like the contents of one of these
windows.-Julian Ralph in Century.

The Little Ghost.

1.-THE Poplars" is the name of the old
Revolutionary homestead. Its great,
square, white, stone house built in the
center of a thousand acres. The master
of it was childless. His little boy had
died a week before, and he had gone
away. Every night little figure in
white with a light was seen fitting
from window to window in the old
library When the servants. led by the
gardener, assembled at the library door
the light and the figure would disap-
pear noiselessly and simultaneously. The
light and figure were never seen in any
other room of the old mansion, and now
1t was remembered that the dead heir
had spent more time in the library than
in any other room in the house.
When the master returned, toward
the end of autumn, he was informed of
it all He hid behind the tapestry night
after night, and one night he was re-
warded by seeing little white figure
glide in, light a candle, climb up to one
of the highest shelves, take down a rare
old book and begin to pore over it. II
was the gardeners son, and he is now
the lord of 1.-The Poplars," and the no
blest landlord in the west of England

BEST OF REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS.
THE TRIBUNE FOR 1892.
Boswell G. Horr on the Tariff.

The Republican party, triumphant in 1891, wher
ever national issues were at stake, renews aggres
sively and bravely, the fight for 1892. The New
York Tribune, the ablest, most reliable and bes
of Republican papers, leads the way.
During 1892 Boswell g. HOrr, of Michigan, thu
witty orator, will continue in The Tribune his re
markable articles on the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coin
age, and Currency These topics are all under
standa6le; ST the Republican policy with regard t.
but dust has been thrown into the peoples eyes
and the air has been filled with fog by lying and
tricky Tariff-reformers. The Tribune prints from
one tc five exceedingly entertaining articles every
week explaining these questions.
Mr.. H0rr begins at the beginning Of every sub
ject, and makes it so clear that everyone can un
derstand and no one can answer him. Ask any
neighbOr what he thinks of Mr.. Horr's writings
He will tell you they are genial clear, entertain
ing and perfectly unanswerable. A specially is
made Of answering all questions, asked in good
faith, on the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coinage, the Cur
rency, and the projects of the Farmers Alliance
The Tribune Is the best national Republican paper
to supplement your local paper during 1892.

Fighting a Fashionable Dressmaker.

In reference to obstinacy in dress
makers for carrying out ideas l had an
amusing experience. Ny sisters stay in
Paris was too short for my dressmaker
to undertake all she wanted made. For
the best things we went to big dress
maker, whose importance lies in great
pretensions. Among the things ordered
there was one for which | wanted my
own way. The woman exclaimed: But
that is not practical. You women have
ideas, but they can't be carried out. :"
well, if it cannot be carried out will
be responsible for spoilt cloth if there be
any," l knew she opposed it because
the idea was not her own, and that it did
not go to swell the bill with yards of
lace, feathers, furs, passementerie, etc.
She consented at last; the dress was
great success A few weeks after had
occasion to call on the dressmaker, and
what was my surprise to find several
dresses in the showroom with my idea
very practically carried out, and what
was my greater surprise, when the wom-
an came in, to find she was wearing my
idea practically demonstrated on her
own back.-Brooklyn Eagle.

What "Uneie Isaac" Was Doing

Tommy was sent off on an errand one
morning to a farm lying just on the edge
of the town, the owner of which was fa-
miliarly known as ''Uncle Isaac" The
hour was rather early, and when he ar
rived such members of the large family
as could be spared without seriously in
terfering with the running of the domes-
tic machinery were gathered for family
worship.
Returning home, his mother ques-
toned him about his errand, and with
the curiosity about ones neighbors which
takes deep root in village soil, she asked
him what was going on at the farm. He
told her of the occupations of one and
another, and added, "and Uncle Isaac,
he was in the settin room prayerin on t
just as tight as he could prayer. New

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Wrong doing begins with wrong think
ing.
Home is the chief school of human
virtue.
Real good never shrinks from any kind
of test.
Occasional praise is wholesome as vel
as agreeable.
Patience is plant of slow growth, but
it bears precious fruit.
People who never ask any question:
never learn very much.
The most certain sign of wisdom is q
perpetual cheerfulness.
One fault begets another; one crime
makes another necessary.
1t is easier to run with the crowd than
it is to walk by yourself.
can promise to be sincere, but l can
not promise to be impartial.
A life that helps others is always wild
ening and deepening itself.
There isn't much faith in the prayer
that doesn't look for an answer.
Courage defends the honor of man;
modesty guards that of woman.
Everything we ought to do is duty;
we owe somewhere all we ought to do.
Every man should belong to his fami-
ly first and to other organizations after
ward.
1t is more difficult to dissimulate the
sentiments we have than to simulate
those we have not.
To dare is great; to bear is greater.
Bravery we share with the brutes; forti-
tude with the saints.
Do everything else in a rush, if you
must, but eat slowly. This advice is old,
but you will live to be the same if you
take it.
We have learned that conscience whis-
pers to each one ~ ought" and that it
does so because what we ought to do
is good and right.

Pleasant Games for Evenings

A pleasant game for an evening at
home, among a few reading people and
their neighbors, is called Quotations. -
A card with some appropriate lines may
announce the evening to your friends,
and for an hour the hostess or some one
else assigned the duty may read quota
tions, the guests giving the author.
Well known lines should be written on
slips of paper and put in pretty ribbon
basket. The guests are seated in circle,
and after the first quotation one is given
a minute to name the author. If he
fails, the reader gives the right name
and No. reads the next quotation and
passes to his next neighbor.
To give variety an authors name may
be given, and a point is made by the first
one who responds with quotation from
that writer; or a subject may be given
and appropriate quotations called for.
The one making the greatest number of
points wins the game. Another game
that calls for quick thought is called
Observation. On the card given to
each person is list of ten articles that
he is given ten seconds each to see. An
evening devoted to curios, after the
fashion of some of the clubs, is also both
delightful and profitable. Each guest
brings curio and tells the history of it,
In the same manner geographical
club sometimes varies its evenings by
having each member bring picture of
some spot where he has Travelled and
give little talk about it.--New York

Cure for Seasickness.

A correspondent says that the drink
ing of salt water is a perfect cure for
seasickness, though it makes the drinker
very miserable for few inmates after
he takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board ship is in very sensitive state,
and that the salt water pickles it SO
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously revolted it.
If that were the explanation, it must
be very rapid and miraculous kind of
picking proc that is effected by a pint
of salt water, not, in all probability,
long retained. But whatever the ration
ale of the supposed sailors remedy"
may be, any quick remedy for SO fright
full distress is worth trying, and the
assertion of the sailors is said to be that
it never fails.-St. James Gazette.

Thrilling Adventure of a Miner

John Clarkson tells an interesting
story of how he came near being de-
voured by large army of rats in the
Baker coal bank 1t was his custom to
cook his meal in the coal bank at din
ner TIM One day as he was sitting be
fore a fire boiling his meat he was star
tied to hear the noise made by running
rats The odor of the cooking meat per-
meated the bank, attracted the attention
of the rodents and they came tripping
along to the fire at lively rate.
John says he thought the cold bob
was after him. In a little while there
mast have been fully 500 rats gathered
about him and his heart was in his
mouth. He threw them piece of the
meat, and while they fought for it he
stole away.-New Lisbon Patriot

THE laws of health are taught in ouI
schools: but not in way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
could easily be done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry loud cough, and know
its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold develops, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the hose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of
a cold were The scholar should then
be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
severe cold could be cured in one or two
days, or at least greatly mitigated, when
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. For sale by

One of the italian exhibitors of per
forming birds lost a green parrakeet out
of his cage the other afternoon on Park
street. The bird flew up into an elm
and chattered at the distracted Italian.
"Seenyore. seenyore, climba re tree" he
cried. But 10 one in the big crowd vol
unteered to "climba re. tree" 1t was
the English sparrow that finally settled
the business both for the parrakeet and
the italian A solitary English sparrow
spied the green bird, and set up a loud
"cheep." In three minutes time fifty
sparrows were mobbing the parrakeet.
He took wing with the noisy pack in hot
ursuit.-BoSton News.

Tbe ,Ijstreatment of Horses

Doubtless it was the daily spectacle
of the abuse OF horses which stimulated
Henry Bergh TO the great service which
! has justly made his name renowned.
But the guilt CT the abuse is not confined
| to drsymen and teamsters. The igno-
rance and Indifference of wealth and
| fashion to the treatment of horses are
! quite as conspicuous, and for obvious
/ reasons much more objectionable.
The horse. which is one of the most
sensitive and delicate of animals, is
| greatly to be commiserated as he ap-
pears in the fashionable drive of Central
park He is treated as a part of the
| show of the parade, and he is at the
mercy of the owner, who buys horses
not because he likes them or knows
anything about them, but because he
must have an equipage, and he aban-
dons them to the care of grooms and
coachmen, whose sole aim is to produce
more swell effect than their rivals.
For stylish" effect the horse is robbed
of his natural ornament and defense,
| and is checked and trussed and tortured
by harness which encumbers his na-
tural action and forces him into an arti-
fetal ''gait.
Human knowledge and skill directed
to an auxiliary animal like the horse
should aim to develop his natural apti-
tudes He should be treated as hu-
name and skillful gardener treats a tree
in our modern landscape gardening, not
as tree was maltreated by the false
and morbid taste of two centuries ago.
Such remarks do not apply to the low
ers of horses who care for them with
sympathy and intelligence, who compre-
hend their practical helplessness and
acknowledge their faithful service. Such
lovers permit in their stables no fash
ions" invented by ignorant and inhuman
grooms to produce stylish action" to
impress similar ignorance and folly
