£he OBEDIENCE. If you’re told to do a thing, And mean to do it really, Never let tt be by halves; Do it fully, and freely! Do not make a poor excuse, Waiting, Weak, unsteady: All obedience worth the name Must be prompt and ready. When father calls, though pleasant be The play you are pursuing, Do not say, “I’ll come when I Have finished what I'm doing;” When 'tis said “You've ateenough,” Don’t reply, “0 mother Let me have just one cake more, I will not ask another!” If you’re told to learn a task, And you should begin it, Do not tell your teacher, “Yes, I'm coming in a minute!” Something waits, and you should now Begin and go right through it; Don t think, if it’s put off a day, You will not mind to do it, Work does not wear men so much as worry. Why is a calm man like a school master? Because he keep cool. Why is Troy weight dishonest? Because it has no scruples. Man is a mister, and women a mystery. Beer fills many a bottle, and the bottle many a bier. A career of crime must come to a halt or a halter. Why is an alarm of fire like a still brush ?” Because it spoils the nap. Extraordnary virtues are ever defamed by those who want the courage to imitate them. A great many Northern soldiers haae been captured by la.lies in the South, and won’t exchange. Why is a weathercock like a loafer ? Because he is constantly going around doing nothing. The pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out. The best capital to begin life with is a capital wife. If you would be nothing, just wait to be somethino'. o

What nation produces marriage ? Facination. When Queen Emma was in Dublin, the Lord Lieutenant orderd the Hawaiau air to be played in her honor. The band struck up “The King of the Cannibal Islands.” Death comes to a good man to relieve him; it comes to a bad one to relieve societv. Don’t go to ehurch with a cough and disturb the rest of the congregation. Lake medicine, and stop it. There is something exquisitein the Yankee’s reply to the European traveler, when he asked him whether he had just crossed the Alps- “Wai now, you call my attention to the fact, I guess I did pass risin ground.” A story is told of a young man who was going West to set up a jewelry store. When asked what capital he had he replied : A crowbar,” -A wag entered a grocer’s shop some years ago, which had for its sign “The Two Baboons,” and addressing himself to the proprietor, said, “I wish to see your partner.” “I have no partner, sir.” “I beg your pardon, sir, and hope you will excuse the mistake.” “Oh, there’s no harm done; but ’nTlat made you think there were two of us?” “Your sign,” he replied, “The Two Baboons.” Strangers in New Orleans are inadiiemma. The yellow fever threatens them# they stay in the city, and the board of health - warn them that if they seek the country they will very likley be seized with the disease away from experienced doctors and nurses. A confederate officer says that General Burnside’s Petersburg mine was not so much of a failure as was supposed. The uncertain horrors which that event threw about service in the front !■ <i immediately to many desertions. This world is a small planet, but it is wide awake. Nearly seven millions of men are at work on the nfeah cohtinually. The annual

The French Emperor’i Stables. Although I have been through the Imperial stables a great many times, writes a Paris correspondent, I had no adequate conception of their resources until the review. There were at least seven-ty-five firstrate carriage-horses used in the barouches and outriders. At the gate of the racefield there were seventy-eight thoroughbred saddle-horses for the French Emperor and the Sovereigns’ suites, and thirty-nine not inferior horses for the servants. There were out on the road that day, 192 horses. There were at the Elysee, 11 horses for the Czar. In the stables of the Tuileries there were at least seventy-five horses resting for night service, (the Russian ambassador gave a ball that same night). This would give 278 horses to the Imperial stables, exclusive of the extra horses to be used in case any of those were disabled, the sick horses always to be found in so large a stable, the hunters, (sixty are sometimes required at Compiegne), the ponies, &c. The cost of keeping up such stables must be enormous. The Czar and two sons rode the horses they brought with them from Russia. The Kins of Prussia rode the same charger which carried him at the battle of Sadowa. The reason sovereigns carry their horses with them when they go abroad is, a review is trying to a horse’s nerves, he either becomes frightened, or when the cavalry charge takes place he would join it, becoming unmanageable in either case. A sovereign paying a foreign visit requires all his presence of mind, which he could possess were his thoughts diverted to his horse. He consequently carries with him a charger with whom he is entirely familiar, and whom he may trust. The French Emperor invariably carries his favorite riding horses with him wherever he goes. He even carried them to London when he went there several years agoThe Power of a Growing Tree. —Walton Hall had at one time its own corn mill, and when that inconvenient necessity no longer existed, the mill-stone was laid in an orchard and forgotten. The diameter of this circular stone measured 5| feet, while its depth averaged seven inches throughout; its central hole had a diameter of eleven inches. By mere accident, some bird or squirrel had dropped this fruit of the filbert tree through this hole on to the earth, and in 1812 the seedling was seen rising up through that unwonted channel. As its trunk gradually grew through this aperture and increased, its power to raise the ponderous mass of stone was speculated on by many. Would this filbert tree die in the attempt? Would it burst the mill-stone, or would it lift it? In the end the little filbert tree lifted the mill-stone, and in 1863 wore it like crinoline about its trunk, and Mr. Waterton used to sit upon it under the branching shade.— Engl e r. The old Stuyvcsant pear tree in Third'Avenue has been considered dead, but there is life in the old tree yet. The roots, although cut off at the ground, have sent up two groups of shoots—six in one, and three in the other. These are eight inches high, and are progressing finely. The grocer on the corner has taken pains to protect the new shoots by a little fence of lath, and we may yet see pears growing, as heretofore, on the old corner. Eating.— Eat slow, eat in an unexcited state of mind, eat less food at a meal, These three rules are more important than people are aware. Because they are common, is no reason why we should not repeat them here. But they are new to many who never realize their force. This is temperance in a quarter where it is much needed. Our food is the grand support of our life, and we cannot be too careful of the consequences. All, around God’s blessing distills n>->on cheerful labor, provident
