(For The Press.) TT MEANS JUST WHAT IT SAYS.
BY REV. A. B. SIMPSON, HARTFORD.

 There are some who believe the Bible, And some who believe part; Some who trust with reservation, And some with all the heart. But know that it's every promise Is firm and true always; It is tried as precious silver,
 And it means just what it says. It assures me of salvation
 Thro' Jesus precious blood For the souls that will trust His mercy And yield themselves to God. And claim for myself the promise And just begin to praise, For it says / am saved by trusting, And trust just as it says. And it tells me there is cleansing From every secret sin, And great and full salvation
 To keep the heart within; And I take Him in His fullness,
 With all His glorious grace. For He says it is mine for taking And take just what He says. And it tells me He will heal me, :. And hear my feeblest cry, And that all His royal bounty
 Will all my need supply. And l seem to know no better
 Than to trust Him all my ways, For He says I may trust Him fully, And l trust just as He says. Let me hearken to all His precepts And instantly obey; Let me run to perform His bidding, Whatever He may say. Let me cherish His last commandment, And walk in all His ways; Let me always obey my Master,
 And do just what He says. It is strange we trust each other,
 And only doubt our Lord; We will take the words of mortals
 And yet distrust His word; But oh, what light and glory,
 Would shine OCT all our days, If we would always remember
 He means just what He says.

THE CURTAIN.

A thrill of rapturous applause,
 From every row ascending; The actor gives gracious pause,
 To those before low bending. Admired of all the ladies rare,
 What compliments they utter! How many hearts amid the fair
 Are now set in flutter? The play goes on, the curtain falls
 Upon the act of splendor; Each heart emotional recalls
 It's incidents so tender. Oh, sweet the glamour of the scene,
 With nothing course to break it Imagination rules serene,
 And fancy's what we make it. The leading lady, just deceased,
 Has got fit of laughter; The leading man from toll released,
 A sandwich has sent after, The pasteboard rocks are put aside,
 The lovely sylphs are yawning; The dancing girls in plain clothes hide, No grace their steps adorning! The funny men are scowling now,
 And he who gold dust scattered Upon the scene with happy brow,
 Looks doleful now and shattered. And so it is throughout the days
 Of this our life uncertain: To view it truly, you must gaze
 On both sides of the curtain!

(New York Times.) HOW SHE FINISHED HIM.

While New Ycrkers have been treated through January with mild, often moist weather, Saratogians have been reveling in fine sleighing and their usual crisp, dry winter air. One of the beautiful resi- dences in Woodlawn was opened the oth- or day to receive a house party brought up from New York by MT. and Mrs. Hughes, the latter 8 daughter of Judge Hilton. The fine toboggan slide belong ing to them was opened, lighted by torches, and the collaborating sport enjoyed. One of the pretty young married women pres ent told of her first experience on slide, which may serve as protection to other equally innocent young women against the wiles of designing men:
 "It was the year after I came out that 1 took my first trip down slide. A man l knew offered to take me down, and seated myself on his toboggan, he behind me. You must lean on my back, Miss B. he said, rest your head against my shoulder, so the thing will trim right, and can steer properly Supposing this was the conventional toboggan attitude, like the embrace of the waltz, obeyed him. When we got to the foot he helped me off, saying that I was splendid toboggan partner, that knew just how to sit, and other complimentary remarks. Over and over again we went down together, and then another friend, staid old bachelor asked me to go down with him. I took my seat on his sled, prepared to lean back in the correct way, when he said: You'll have to sit straight, Miss B., or cant steer.'
 with my eyes thus opened, looked at the other flying sleds for the first time and saw at once that my first partner hat wickedly imposed upon me. But," she fin ished, with little move of satisfaction s'I paid him up for it. I married him."

Mount Holly (N. J.) Dispatch: While I'm partly on the subject of women, may as we'll raise question which has puzzled me all my life, and probably always will.
 I want to know why it is that women as class seem to glorify man who com mits high crime. don't mean the man
 who steals chicken or half dollar, but the man who murders or who breaks and enters a house at midnight, or something of that kind. It don't matter how ruf- fianly blackguard criminal may be, or how atrocious his crime, you can see ev- cry woman who gets near him looking at
 him with an expression of latent admira- tion or something which looks very much like it in her eyes. It is this sort of thing which finds vent through flowers and
 other silly maunderings of the same kind.
 The only explanation I've been able to find for this is the fact that it may be the strength and daring of the men who do crime that the women admire. Let one
 of her sex do these things, however, and it's very different. No flowers for her.
 Great Scott no, indeedl Nothing but hatred and contempt and the cold shoulder when she tries to brace up again. Iknow women pretty we'll.

Harper's Weekly: In all New York

Harper's Weekly: In all New York city there is only one wholesale fish mar ket. It has @ water and street frontage adjoining the Fulton Ferry on the East River side of the city, and is directly op- posite the famous old Fulton Market. This season of the year is harvest-time in this industry, for when the Lenten period comes there is rush of fishing -smacks from all along the upper Atlantic coast to the markets dock. Thousands of crates and barrels of fish from the Great Lakes and the far south arrive; and the early hours of the morning, especially on Fri day, with blockade of streets for @ radi- us of quarter of mile, take on an ac- tivity that is supposed to exist only in the summer when the peach season is at hand, l and the truck farmers, with their teams and produce, turn night into day, and swarm over acres upon acres of New York's streets.
 More picturesque is this night mart in winter than in summer. On the water side of the market, packed and wedged close in the dock, are the ice-coated ves sels, the steamy vapor of the river rising l in jets in the open spaces between the smacks and a score or more of temporary bridges running from deck to deck and thence to the piers, over which the fisher men and helpers, clad in oil-skin garb, rush the cargoes from hold to market stalls. Some of the catch brought in is | alive, and is sent splashing and squirm- ing with much confusion, shouting and calling, into the tanks that lie in the river close up to the market. Some of the catch is dead, frozen stiff and this is quickly transferred to troughs and slabs and made presentable for sale. On the street side express wagons push and crowd up in the snow and slush, and the police have more than they can do to straighten out the tangle in the babel of shouting drivers. The horses steam like the river, and the electric lights shine through night haze that is like an on-coming fog.

GAN You READ PROOF Hike many other things, proof-reading isn't so easy as it looks. It requires something more than knowledge of the page of proof readers signs given in the dictionary. Here is what Horace Greedy said about that business, writing to young man who wanted such place on The Tribune:
 As to proof-reading, think first-rate proofreader could always find place in our concern within a month. But the place requires far more than you can learn it requires universal knowledge 1 of facts, names and spelling. Do you happen to know offhand that Stephens of Georgia spells his name with a ph and Stevens of Michigan with a, V in the mid de? Do you know that Eliot of Massa- chusetts has but one in his name, while Elliot of Kentucky has two Do you know the politics and prejudices of Oliver of Missouri and Oliver of New York, respect ively, so we'll that when your. proof says "Mr. Oliver" said so and so in the house, you know whether to insert "of Mo-" or "of N. Y." after this name? Would you choose to strike out ''of Mo-" and put in ''of N. Y." if you perceived the speech taking a particular direction respecting slavery, which shows that it must be wrongly attributed in the telegraphic de- patch? My friend, if you are indeed quail flied for first-rate proofreader, or can easily make yourself so, you need never fear. But don't fancy the talent and knowledge required for mere secretary of state, president, or any such trust, will be sufficient.
 I Some of the articles called out by Dr. Brands appeal to young ministers to deny themselves by taking small parishes sug- gest an incident which Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor used to tell, and which, we be- lieve, occurred in his own family. All were gathered at the table, including baby Willie, not yet old enough to speak for himself. There were not oranges enough for all, and the father explained that some one must deny himself, asking, (Which shall it be?" As if animated by one thought, all the children shouted at once, "Willie'll do it."-Co CongregationGlist.

Henry de Varigny: Another recent discovery is, that all living creatures are only condensed air. Vegetables exist only by virtue of the air, animals by means of the vegetables. The elements of vegetable life are those of the air, and animals live on vegetables. The connec- tion is now narrow, intimate, direct. Man is condensed air. And as this air, during the centuries that man has existed, has necessarily traversed through the bodies of our ancestors, being part of them for a time, and then disengaged, our bodies are actually made up of the some elements as that of our ancestors.

Connecticut Farmer: There will hn no peach surplus this year in Connect cut, and the prospect is that throughout the country the scarcity will be about as pronounced as was the plethora, last sea- son. The last cold snap did 1t, so far a' Connecticut is concerned. Everything looked we'll until until then, but not more than 15 per cent. of the buds are left alive on an average with danger of still furthrr disaster. MT. J. H. Hale found 97 pr per cent. in the lower or Andrews O. chards. The Connecticut Valley comp ny's orchards were not hit quite so hard; President John B. Smith thinks 50 Der cent. are left at Deep River and 15 p,r cent. at Berlin. One or two other groN. CTS at Tuesdays Genealogical Society meeting thought 50 per cent. were left in their orchards, but in majority of cases the range was from 10 to 15 per cent, ald even below that.
 If 15 per cent, suitably distributed 7, survive, it means enough for a good ,croI but the chances this year are heavily against it. The possibilities were hope fully illustrated in a bit of experience c which MT. E. c. Warner, of North Haven, gave at the Meriden meeting. Last year in thinning he picked, by actual coun', [, 5000 peaches from single tree, deprived it, in trimming, of good many more which he didn't count, and left te mature enough to break the tree down.

IF You BURN YoURsELF.-The pain from slight burns is very great. An ex- cellent application is thick paste of com mon baking soda moistened with water, spread on a piece of linen or cotton, and bound on the part, writes Elisabeth Rob inson Scovil in an article on ''What to do l in Emergencies" in the March Ladies' Home Journal. This can be kept wet by squeezing water on it from a sponge or | cloth until the smarting is soothed A thick coating of starch can be used
 iastead of the soda, or wheat fls 1T if noth- ing better can be had, but neither should
 be applied if the skin is broken. In this case it is better to use vaseline, olive or linseed oil. The doctor will apply some preparation containing carbolic acid.
 If the air can be effectually excluded from burn the pain is relieved. Blisters should be pricked and the fluid absorbed with soft cloth before dressing. If the clothing adheres to the skin the
 loose part should be cut away and tho | patches of material soaked off with oil or
 warm water.
 When the injury is extensive the suffer-
 CT will be prostrated and may die from
 the shock. Heat should be applied to
 the extremeties and over the heart, ana
 hot drinks given until the doctor comes. | In burns from @ strong acid the part
 should be covered with dry baking sodn
 or lime, as the alkal will neutralize the
 acid. No water should be used, but cos
 moline or oil applied after the alkali has
 been brushed off.
 When the burn has been caused by all
 alkali an acid must be used. A person | recovering from the effects of burn r., ,-

necessarily, made forty-fivc consecutive
speeches all over the state and worked
like a Trojan for the success of the

his being turned down in the state
convention. If that is not loyal true
blue republicanism we don't know
what is. 1t was through his influence
