What should seek, and what desire,


So that my days may joyous be
Where shall find the hidden fire


For faith that never may cease to bes
First in myself my search must rest
Ere 1t go forth upon its quest
Bright my own soul, pure my intent


So shall l walk 20 find nv Joy
Self in the common welfare blent


Swift to upbuild. slow to destroy;
knowing each heart hath secret good,
Often net known or understood.
Welcome must each true impulse seem


Felt by brother, or friend, or foe
Never be held in light esteem


The blessing snother's work may show.
So must the measure be just and fair
For another's goodness, toll or prayer
To walk where the sunshine loves to fall.


OR kneel in the shadow, subdued and still :;
Hear every voice that in love may call.


Patient in strife, resigned in i'll
SO shall each day hold something blest,
And the soul attain it's longed for rest
o thou whose heart is world of care.


Whose thoughts in fever come aud 60
strive. with the strength that is born of prayer


Peace in thy spirit first to know
And seeking ever some human good.
Find a crown of gold for thy cross of wood.

Most of us have had troubles all oul
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil that we wished to endure. But il
we were asked to recount the SORROWS
of our lives, how many could we re
member? How many that are si1
months old should we think worthy to
be remembered OF mentioned? To
days troubles look large. but a week
hence they will be forgotten and buried
out of sight. Says one writer:


"If you would keep a Look, and
every day put down the things that wor-
ry you, and Gee what becomes of them,
it would be benefit to you. You al.
low thing to annoy You. just as you
allow fly to settle on you and plague
you; and you lose your temper (or rath-
er get it; for, when men are unchanged
with temper, they are said to have lost
it); and you justify yourselves for be
ing thrown off your balance by causes
which you do not trace opt. Pnt il
you would see what it was That threw
you off your balance before breakfast
and put it down in little book. and
follow it up, and follow it out, and as
certain what becomes of it, you would
see what fool You were in the matter.


The art of forgetting is blessed art
but the art of oEetlotking is quite as
important. And if We should take
down the origin, progress, and out come
of a fey of our troubles. it would tlake
us 80 sashamed of the fuss we make
over them, that we should drop such
things and bury them at once in eterna
forgetfulness.

If, as claimed by some scientists, four
fifths, in bulk, of all We eat and drink,

crouched in the dust after him, SO
are they shamefally doing in our
misused land. To almost idolize a
noble man of towering talents and
attainmenss is barely tolemble; to
bow to and idolize a second grade
of brains and third rate of attain

idolaters. While his late tedious

they can but disgust the honest, |

There was recently an inn


promptu wedding in Dubuque
The bride was 60 to a month
although she only confessed the
soft impeachment of AZ. The


bride was arrayed in a faded al
paca dress, without Ornamental
ton. Around her neck s h c
wore white linen pocket-hand-
kerhcief, and on her head an a.
ged straw bonnet, with Il white
frill in front. On her nose she
wore a pair of brassbpund spec
tacles, through which she peer
ed curiously, first at the Squire
and then at the bridegroom,
while the ceremony was going
on. After the man of law had
pronounced the happy pair man
and wife in his most impressive
manner, he addressed the bride
and congratulated her upon the
event. The old lady replied
that she. believed she could get
along with her man. She said
she was not a novice in the
marriage misunderstanding had
two husbands before this one.





She had talked this matter over
with him, and had given him to
understand that if he didn't be-
have himself she would throw
him over the fence. She said
she had only known her hus-
band three days, but had mar
ried him on the recommendation
of her cousin. If the husband
did not prove a good kind one,
she would go for her cousin, and
the cousin would, in turn, make
things lively for the husband.

ed him, and he turned quickly.


1t was only a cat. But by
his sudden movement he upset
the casket, which fell to the
floor with crash. The woman


was awakened, and sprang up


with an exclamation of fright.


Selling the maulstick, which
lleaned against an easel within
Freach, Grebilot struck her over
the head. The blow staggered
her, but she reached and clutch
led him by the left. elbow. He
hit her again, and the stick
broke. She fell forward against
him, deluging him With blood.
| Mad with fright at his own
crime, the wretch snatched up
the scraper from the table and
lcut her throat. She struggled
in her death agony, and he bur-
led the weapon in her breast.


Once she was qnite dead he
in a measure recovered his self
possession. He gathered his
plumber together, and by the
way OF the roof and the passage
made his way out of the house.


At the trial of Coisal, the
absence Of the box and the
money which he had received
that very day in payment Tor
some pictures was commented
on. The casket contained only
letters and papers. 1t and the
money, the prosecution contend
ed, the accused had secured and
secreted after the murder they
claimed that he was guilty of.
Of course he denied this, de-
scribed the box, and requested
that search be made for it.
The search was made, but the
casket was not found.


Nine years after the condem-
nation of Consal the woman
Mohlberg, whose husband had
meanwhile died, and who now
lived with Grebilot, was arrest
ed for receiving stolen goods.
Among her possessions was a
peculiar box of dark wood.


From a brass plate inside the
lid a name had been partially
erased. At the Bureau of Po-
lice, a detective, who had been
employed in the Consal case
nearly a decade before, saw it.
1t tailed with the description
of the long-sought-for casket.
A very little examination con-
vinced him that it was the same.


The woman was interrogated,
and said that the box had been
a present from Grebilot. After
of search, that worthy
was apprehended in Marseilles.
Under pressure he acknowledge
ed his guilt.


Eugene Consal was released
at once. But he is broken,
prematurely old man, with his
old life behind him, and the
faint of years of convict life

ful appeal tothe authorities, for
an indemnification of his unjust
imprisonment he says: /

SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DISCRETION
| and Judgment which the constitution confers

and duties of the supervisors of elections un-
touched. The compensation of these officers

no liability, for which an appropriation is now
required, would therefore be incurred by their
appointment; but the power of the national
government to protect them in the discharge
of their duty at the polls would be taken

military power at the elections, but by the

legislative enactments one is the repeal, the
other is to decision of a competent tribunal
against their validity. This bill seeks to de-
prive the executive department of the govern
ment of the means to execute the laws which

SAVE TIE MANURE.-Even by farmers,
who should'be the ones who would realize
tho value there is In it, there seems to be
but an indifferent effort made to save the
hen manure, for much of its value is wasted
by not taking care Of it properly or in time,
while it is often used on such crops as are
not capable of utilizing it to the greatest
advantage or profit. Good hon manure
from fowls which have been literally fed is
worth as much as guano, for all kind
OF crops for which guano is used, .and if
farmers and those who have small garden
patches would only realize this fact, they
would pay more attention to collecting and:
saving the droppings from their hens than.
they do. We do not think there is much
necessity for cleaning the fowl house out
every day, as some do, but clean it out
every week, giving it good sanding every
time 1t is cleaned, SO as to keep the floor
clean from droppings aud make it easier to
clean out when necessary. Some sprinkle
ashes, sawdust, chips, etc, on the floors, but
we consider sand preferable, for it seems
70 separate, to disntegrate, the droppings
better, soon making it by little care in,
working over almost as fine and as easily
applied as guano or any of our superphos-
phates. We always put it into barrels as
soon rs it is taken up from the chicken
house floor, and convey it to some dry, airy
place where ge let it remain until wanted
Tor use, when we empty it out on q heap
and work it over well before applying it to
the crops.-Poult,y Bnlletin.
