A PSALM OF LIFE.

The voice of Homer sings the song divine, %

For us the foe in grim array is set.
All, but do we fight as they fought of yore?
For we, too, like the heroes long ago,
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea.
Fierce is the conflict, loud the tempests blow,
And the waves roar and rage INCREASINGLY.
Still must we wander DER the stormy main, ::
'Twixt rocks and whirlpools q dread passage
make, <%#>-E.4 +.
Still must the sirens sing to us in vain,
Still from the tolls of Circe must we break.
Turn, then, to Homer's psalm of life and see
How they endured whose pilgrimageis done
And hear the message they have left for thee
Only by patience is the victory won.

The Whipping Post In Boston.

Alice Morse Earle, in an article on
"Punishments of Bygone Days, : found
in The Chapbook, after giving John Tay-
lor the Water Poets rhymed descrip-
tions of corporal punishment in London,
explains how rapidly flogging came into
use in Boston
The whipping post was speedily in
full force in Boston. AT the session Of
the court held Nov. 80. 1880, one man
was sentenced to be : hipped for steal
ing loaf Of bread, another for shooting
fowl on the Sabbath. another for swear
ing, another for leaving boat with
out a pylott. 9 Then we read Of John
Pease that for 'stryking his mother and
leryding her he shalbe whipt
Lying, swearing, taking false toll,
perjury, selling rum to the Indians AL
were punished By whipping Pious re-
gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld
by the support Of the whipping post. II

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.

How the Burned Out Filament May Be
Replaced and Renewed.
1t has been generally supposed to be a
fruitless task to attempt the renewal Of
burnt out incandescent electric lamp,
although there appears to be some eco
nomic fallacy involved in the destruc-
ton of what is except in one small if
important particular perfect piece Of
apparatus. It is not intended, as rule,
to give in this column descriptions of
American devices or achievements
drawn from foreign publications. This
subject has, however, been taken up by
the English journal, Industries and
Iron, and, although it states that an
American process for renewing these
lamps after the flament has been bro
ken has been developed, it does not give
the name of inventors nor state that the
process has come into anything like gen.
eral application. Its description Of the
operation is therefore given for what it
is worth.
It states that a commercial success
has been made of process for renewing
burned out lamps which renders possible
the use of the old bulb at a very slight
expense. By the new method the collar,
or bare end, Of the lamp is not disturb
ed, the old flament being removed and
the new one placed through a small hole
in the lamp bulb made by removing the
tip. The small hole is subsequently clos
ed exactly in the same manner as in the
case of the new lamp leaving nothing
to Indicate in the finished, repaired
lamp that it had'ever been opened.
It is stated that some 400, 900 lamps
have been repaired by this method, the
flament being inserted through the
small hole referred to by skillful twist
Of the hand and secured in position by
special carbon paste. The black deposit
on the inside of, the bulb is removed by
fitting the lamp to the holder and re-
moving it in a gas furnace, while i'm
mediately following this operation a
small glass tube is fused to the opening
made in the bulb, through which the
lamp is exhausted. When this has been
done and the last trace of air and gas
absorbed a blowpipe flame is directed
upon the throat of the tube, which is
melted into the point exactly in every
respect a counterpart of the original
lamp. providence Journal

trayed Him.
-Four or five Washington pastors were
having a pleasant little meeting the
other afternoon at the study of one of
them, and they were having compare
lively as much fun out Of it as that
many FOUNDERS would have had at sa-
loon knee deep in ~ varieties of tipple.
They We're telling Sunday school stories,
as rule, but they swung around after
awhile to temperance.
In my youth in Virginia, = said the
host, 1--WE had, what is rare nowadays
to wit, a lot Of more or less seedy and
shabby genteel old fellows who went
about the country delivering lectures on
temperance and getting out of it only
about SO much as would clothe and feed
them. Some of them were no doubt good
and conscientious men, but among them
were many who, Notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved to take glass
Of something warming to the inner man.
& "Most of these tipplers were very par
tcular not to have the rumor get abroad
that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and
when they took their drinks they OBJ
served great secrecy. I remember there
was one whom we thought to be most
abstemious old fellow, and no one
thought he ever tasted drop, particu-
larry maiden aunt of mine who lived
with my mother and was as rigid
temperance woman as ever came out of
New England. Ny mother was much
more liberal and wanted always to en-
terrain these workers in the good cause,
but my aunt had become SO suspicious
Of all Of them except this particular one
that he was the only one who could find
a nights lodging at our place.
Zone night this old chap came to stay
all night, and he had such severe cold
that my mother prescribed rubbing of
goose grease on his feet and toasting it
in by the fire before he went to bed.
Now, as it happened, in the room where
he slept there was a new carpet which
my aunt had presented to my mother as
a birthday gift, and there was an old
fashioned sideboard in the same room,
"AoA q VNO Sd41OA Jug VI gnu WHISKY
on it, which somebody had forgotten 10
put inside and lock up. At 8 o'clock tie
black boy carried in the goose grease to
our guest and left him sitting before the
fire. +.-
''Just what happened after that no.
body knows, but after the guest had de-
parted next morning and the servants
went to straighten up the room they
found tracks innumerable between the
fireplace and the sideboard, and in some
way it was discovered that the old fell
low, afraid Of taking cold, had creased
his socks and toasted the grease into his
feet through them, and while the toast
ing was going on he made regular and
frequent trips to the Jug. Of course, if
the tracks on the carpet had not betrayed
him, no one would have ever noticed by
the jug that he had been drinking out
Of it. He never came back again, and I
don't know whether my aunt was more
panied over the ruined carpet or over
the ruined idol, for she had the greatest
confidence in the old man ''-Washing-

DETECTED THE REPEATERs,
Innocent Fishhooks Which Caused Whole

Innocent FishhOOks Which Caused Whole
sale Arrest of Voters.
During the reconstruction times in
Alabama, just after the late civil war,
all of the state and county Offices were
administered by the Republicans. This
was from 1866 to 1874, when the Dem
ocrats again secured control of the gov
eminent and have held it ever since.
The election of George S. Houston, a
Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one
Of the hottest ever held in TIE state, and
many were the tricks practiced on both
sides in that election. Possibly the most
novel was device put into operation at
Mobile. Reporters were common in
those days, and this device was used by
the Democrats to catch the negroes, who
had learned the repeating trick. All Of
the negroes voted the Republican ticket
then. s%t5 = S~5si!s5
On the election day mentioned the
polling places were opened, and the vot-
ing commenced. The Democratic cleo
ton officers at the boxes had secured q
stock of small fishhooks with which to
carry out their new plan. Whenever a
negro voted, an officer stuck hook in
the voters vest front; where it could be
plainly seen. After having exercised his
constitutional right of voting, "Cuffy"
proceeded to another polling place and
sought to vote second time. He was
thereupon arrested and put in Jail upon
q charge of fraud. The scheme worked
like charm. By noon 175 negroes had
been arrested and jailed. The whole
sale arrests SO frightened the negroes
who had not voted that they refrained
from going to the polls that day, and
the Democrats won the election. Chi

The Well Dressed Man.

There is certain professor in GER
tain university of the United States who
once, at the beginning of one of his lee
the kind of pins worn in the neckties of
young college men. He was a good lee
turer and was always interesting, but
this lecture was the most interesting of
his course to the 800 boys who heard
him, and the whole hour was spent on
necktie pins, their use and misuse and
what they suggested. The gist of what
he said was that there was no more
reason why boy should wear horse
shoe with whip across it all in gold
than that houses should have sleeves for
roofs, and that as it was extremely
foolish to put big sieve on your house
for roof so it was quite as foolish to
wear hOrseshoes on your neckties. The
principle Of this is that you should have
a reason in what you wear as we'll as in
other things and that senseless decora-
tions, like horseshoes on neckties or
neckties on horseshoes, are silly and un-
becoming to self respecting person.
This particular example was only one
to illustrate principle, which is that
nothing unusual, queer, out Of the Or
binary, is in itself a. good thing-that,
in fact, most things that are queer and
out Of the ordinary are likely, in the
question of dress, to be in bad taste. A
mans dress ought to be quiet, but it
must be clean and we'll taken care of in
every instance. The best dressed man is
the man W no, in whatever company he
finds himself, is inconspicuous; who
you realize in an indefinite way, is we'll
appointed, though you cannot we'll tell
why.-Harper's Round Table. Z
