MY LITTLE LABORER.

A tiny man, with fingers soft anGdender,
AS any lady fair;
Sweet eyes Of blue, form both frail and
slender,
And curls OF sunny hair
a household toy; fragile thing offeauty--
Yet with rising sun
Begins his round Of toll, a solemn duty.
That must be daily done.
To-day he's building castle. house and tower,
With wondrous art and skill,
Orlabors with his hammer by the hour,
With strong, determ mel will
Anon, with loaded little cart he's plying
A brisk and driving trade;
Again with thoughtful. earnest brow is try
ing
Some books dark lore to read.
Now, laden like some little beast OF burden,
He drags himself along,
And now his lordly little voice is heard in
Boisterous shout and song.
Another hour is spent in busy toilins
With hoop and top and ball
And with patience that Is never falling
He tries and conquers all.
But sleep at last o'ertakes my little rover,
And on his mothers breast,
Joys thrown aside, the day hard labor over,
He sinks to quietrest,
And as l fold him to my bosom, sleeping,
think, mid gathering tears.
OF what the distant future may be keeping
Aswork for manhood's years.
Must be, with toll, his daily bread be earn
ing,
In the worlds busy mart,
LIES bitter lessons every day be learning,
With patient, struggle hearth
Or shall my little architect be building
Some monument Of fame,
On which, in letters bright, with glorious
gliding,
The world may read his name?
P-rhaps some humble. lonely occupation,
But shared with sweet content;
Perhaps life in loftier, prouder station,
In selfish pleasure spent.
Perchance these little feet may cross the
portal
OF learning's lofty fame,
His Gfe-work be to scatter truths immortali
Among the sons Of men!

griddle cakes made of Indian meal are
called corn cakes. In Maryland they are
called cookies. Ponc is the name for
Indian bread an inch or more in thick
ness aud baked to a crisp crust top aud
bottom. In parts of New England corn
meal, baked into thick crisp cake, is
called Indian bannock. The Puritans,
it is supposed, learned the ART of making
that bread from the Bannock Indians

The Norwegians make sort of brown

DR.. Julius Nicholson, sending some
delicacies to German friend, put in a
cake of mysost. His friend wrote,
thanking him for the salmon, etc., aud
continued, "The soap is very nice, but

Scarcity Of Gutta-p -percha.

The large amount of gutta-percha re-
quired for electrical purposes and the
wholesale destruction of the trees from
which the gum is obtained has resulted
in doubling the price of the article. The
natives of Borneo and the Malays, in
stead Of tapping the trees aud securing
the gum in the way in which crude rub
ber is procured, chop them down. The
trees do not produce the gum in paying
quantities until they are from twenty
five to thirty years old, and as the amount
of gutta-percha exported from Sarawak
alone, between 1854 aud 1878, amounted
to IL, 800, 900 pounds, it will be seen
that the waste OF the trees is enormous.

Astonishing Effects of a London Fou.

When the fog drifts in from the Col
den Gate, as it sometimes does, we are
apt to make great deal OF fuss about
it and to declare that the climate of San
Francisco is a delusion, though it always
happens that tho fog disappears by II
or IL o'clock in the day, and generally
earlier. What should we say if we had
such fogs as the one which recently pre-
vailed in London, England! There the
fog hangs over the city like a funeral
pail and everywhere there prevails the
blackness of darkness.
1t is really astounding to read the ac-
counts of the effects which this fog has
produced. Business is interrupted,
street and river traffic are greatly him
dered and the darkness is so impenetra. 1.
bic that numbers of persons have lost
their lives by wandering into rivers,
canals aud ponds. In the streets of the
great city it is impossible to see more
than few inches in any direction. Gas
has to be burned all the time, and even
then the streets have been pactically i'm
passable. The fog makes the sidewalks
and crossings greasy and slippery, so
that the pedestrians are in great danger
even if they can see where they are 60
ing.
To imagine the business OF city like
London suspended Or even seriously im.
peded is almost impossible, and yet the
fact cannot be disputed. The fog is
there and its effects are described with.
out exaggeration. 1t would seem that
modern science might fud remedy for
such condition Of affairs, but thus far
nothing has been discovered which is
effective. If rain can be produced arti-
ficially some sort OF a reversal of the
rain making process ought TO disperse
the fog and restore London to a state OF
comparative light. The smoke of the
city undoubtedly intensifes the darkness
which the fog causes, and that could
certainly be decreased by the use of
smoke consuming furnaces, as is done in
many places iu this ccuntry.-san Fran.

He was a young architect graphing
with his first large order: the erection
of a thirteen story Office building.
In one corner of the lot which the
structure was to occupy troublesome
bit of quicksand bad been discovered;
but he knew several ways Of overcoming
Guicksand, aud 1t only remained for him
TO choose the best of them.
The other question was more important
and difficult.
What sort of a Christmas present
should he give to girl who had always
had everything she wanted from her
cradle upl
He could estimate exactly the tensile
strength of any species of building ma
terial, OF the number of pounds weight
that a steel truss would have to sustain;
but he knew no formula that would help
HIM IN such case as TINS.
The trouble seemed to be that while
George could look at the building from
coldly professional standpoint, he
could take no such view of anything
which concerned Roses happiness.
lie was not in love with the gigantic
mass of brick aud iron; but he was
violently, and, so far as he knew, hope
lessly in love with her.
He was willing to give her anything
that would please her, but he doubted
the good taste Of too lavish expenditure.
No; it must be some elegant triae that
she had never seen before, and that
would move her irresistibly to Glove the
Giver." Something that would give her
hint of the condition of his hesrt, and
prepare her for the words he hoped to
utter, some day.
Rose Wyckoff was the daughter of
man, who valued the substantial fruits
of the harvest above the pink and white
buds of the springtime.
Most Of Georges prospects were still
in the bud. When that big building
was really finished, aud one or two more
thet he hoped to get orders for under
way, il would be sooa enough to ap-
plolch the old gentleman.
Although George had very clear
idea of what Mr.. Wyckoff would say If
he spoke now, he could gain 40 idea of
what Rose would say; but be was grimly
determined to try to be worthy of
her. He left the rest to fate, and con-
tented himself with drawing the designs
for magnificent and glittering castles in
Spain.
When George went to call on Rose
that evening, he tried to be as cherry
and animated as usual, but his nervous
and absorbed manner must have given
her some hint of the heavy load Of
anxiety hewas carrying; for, as he stood
drawing on bis overcoat in the hall, after
the last good-nights had been said, she
threw herself across the outside door,
and barred his egress.
As she stood with her gracefully
rounded body well set out by the polished
oeken door, and her bright face turned
up to him with an expression which a
boider mau might almost have con-
strucd as an invitation, George felt that

When Chris, Was Born.

Speculative and philosophical writers
have long since established the fact that
we have no proof that Dec. IS is the
date of the birth of the Messiah. AT
n time the beginning Of the Christian
era was supposed to conform with the
great event above mentioned, but it has
been pretty clearly established that
Christ was not born on the day we cele.
brate as Christmas or at any other time
during q winter month.
The date now unanimously agreed
upon by scholars is April 5, not April s
of the year of one" but April 8, 4 b. C,
This error in our mode of reckoning
time is supposed to have arisen from the
fact that the dating of time "a. D." was
not introduced until about the year 52r
of the Christian era.-St. Louis Re
