Yes, it is good to have a dream of
better things: it is 9 Dod to hope for "a
good time coming;" it is good to look
forward to some taircr, purer, higher.
or nobler position in life. We laugh at
Alnaschar and his dream: but he was
a finer fellow than he who has no dream
ut all. There are such mcn-dream-
less; and | suppose they are necessary;
for we must always have hewcrs of
wood and drawers of water. But give
me the man who dreams of better things
even if he never realizes them! Do
you remember the touching picture
Macaulay gives Of the dream of young
Warren Hastings, as he lay on the
bank of the rivulet that flows through
the domain that formerly belonged to
his ancestors? "There. as three-score
and ten years later he told the tale,
rose in his mind scheme which.
through all the turns of his eventful
career, he never abandoned: he would
recover the estates which belonged to
his tashers; he would be Hastings of
Daylesford''. And he realized his dream:
which, however, was the least Of the
vast achievements OF that great man.
An eminent New York editor told
me the other day that, while working
as a printers apprentice in Pearl street
he used to dream Of having some good
piece of fortune, in business or other
wise, which would enable him to return
to his native State, where he would
buy a handsome estate, and by zeal,
study, and devotion to the public
interests, get elected to congress with
the better class of people, and make
name for himself in his country's
annals. No great ambition that, YOU
will say. Well, that is true; but he
would never have been more than a.
printers devil ora type-setting machine
had he never had such dream-Rob-
ert Waters in Home Journal.

THE CHAFING DISH.

There is something attaching to the
chatting dish that belongs to no other
household utensil. Every other I'M
plement of cookery or cleanliness has
its disagreeable side; the chatting dish
has nothing but charm.
In the first place, its economy is Il
delight. 1t appears at first sight to
be an article of luxury, and has been
so esteemed in the past; for it is as
sociated in the minds of the last gen
Grafton with venision steaks and ter
rapins and mushrooms and port wine
sauces, and the dishes that epicures
then declared fit for the gods. But
now we know it for what it is-the
household brownie, doing good turn
at every hand. Far from being an
accompaniment of extravaganza, it is
one of the best economizers that ever
entered a family; for with a chatting dish
and its lamp there need not be scrap
of meat, flake of fish, crust of bread
wasted, and the kitchen coal bill can
in hot weather be reduced to mini
mum, and the kitchen tcmpers, too,
while the alcohol lamp used costs only
a trife more than half a dozen cents
an hour, and is never used by the hour
anyway, but only for much shorter
spaces Of time. Moreover, it is a friend
that puts the best foot forward and
helps one over many domestic diff
Guilty, assists at the sealing of many u
friendship, the healing Of many breach.
1t does not confess improvidence when
the mlooked-for guest arrives AN empty
larder, poor service, an unskilled hand
it takes the bits of cold roasts or steak
the cup of soup that CHANGED to be
left, the spoonful oftomato that Bridget
failed to throw away, or the half dozen
asparagus tips that escaped the same
fate, and turns out an entree that has
nothing to do with unprl maditated
poverty, but seems rather premedita-
ed prodigality. And when it has all
that is it's due on the score of economy
what friend of the servants it is letting
cook or kitchen maid take her ease,
while it bubbles away on table or side
board of the diningroom, saving them
labor and nervous expenditure, as the
mistress makes play of their work!
And what an amount of pleasure the
little utensil affords! In households
where on Sundays the servants, or
most of them, are out, or where it has
been thought best to spare them, how
the chatting dish brightens up the
Sunday tea! And on week days, when
coming in late from concert, or theater
or opera, or an unsatisfying bali ban,
uuet, or even on late train, hungry
as hunters, what gayety, what merr,,-
ment and cheer, to sit round the table
and see something made out of nothing
or dainties become daintier, as the
case may be. The rummaging OF
pantry and refrigerator, the prepara-
tion of the dish in which all have
hand, the laughing at blunders, the
fattery of success, the delighted re-
past, and the sound sleep that follows
on the work of a healthy stomach all
make a CHEEKY end to day and heigh-
ten the after effect of the evenings
entertainment.-Ha Bazaar.

In commenting on the muster held last
week at Burlington the Rutland Herald pays
the following deserved compliment to the
points in which the efficiency of the regi,
ment has been greatly increased is the band.
Last year the music was furnished by the
Brattleboro band which, while good, was
too light. This year the powers that be
held a consultation and decided to engage
the Montpelier Military Band, which, for
four years previous to last year, was the
regimental band. AS a marching band the
Montpelier organization is equal to any in
this state, and is among the best in New
England. If consists of twenty-six pieces
with no dead-wood in its makeup. The
leader is I. r. Merrill, who took charge OF
the band seven or eight years ago and built
it up from its then badly disorganized con
dition. Upon assuming the leadership he
set to work to inaugurate new state of at
fairs, and with the assistance of number
OF philosophical citizens, notably Mr.. @. p
Ptl1iD, he succeeded in raising the band tc
its present state of efficiency. Three men
only have been procured from abroad for
this muster"
