THELITILEHUUND UNDER THE SNOW.

BT MART BA.S3ITT HCSSXV. The snow la falling fast to-nijat. On hill lud valley low; I sit by my window and mark 1U f mil. And list to the bitter winds blow; It la weaving a shroud for the froseo. earth. At slowly the hoars go. And my ejes fill with tears m I think Of ft little monad ander the snow. Oh ! that little hillock ander the snow Holds one who Is dear to me; There's ft form of grace ftad ft f see of light, That here I shall ne'er again see. And my lips quiver with sudden pat 3, As fiercely the west winds blow j 0 precious one! O beautiful one! Asleep 'neath'the drifting snow. The violet eyes that shone on me Have lost tbelr tendsr ray; The iweet Ted lips I're often kissed Are cold, unheeding day; The little hands that laid la mine. As she Uoi earth's pathways below. Lie wtlte ftad still oa the pulseless breast, 'Neath the little mound under the snow. 1 know she feels not the titter blast. Where calmly she liei asleep; I know that angels around her grave, Cnwearjlru vlgl's keep; Yet ever as thought with tireless feet. Treads the path of "Long Ago." My heart craves the one so tenderly loved, 'Neath the little mound under the enow. Yea, sighs will come, and tears will start. As I thick ot the loved and blest, Who so early rss.ed from my fond embrace. To the land of the heavenly rest; But I know (be will meet me with lore and Joy, Where never the stoim winds blow; I know. In that beautiful clime, there are INo little mounds under the snow. CUOOSINU A. WIFE. "Godfrey, old boy," t&id Henry Clayton, &s he tilted back his chair, and put his feet upon the mantle-piece, "when is the vieddinff to bei ' Whose wedding?" "Miss Laura Somen, or Jennie, which is it?" 'I do not know, I am sure." "Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey; you Know you are a most constant visitor, and all 'our set' are talking about the match. Djnt pretend you t&Te not selected one of the sisters.'' How do you know that either of them will have me?" "Don't be absurd, old boy. You, youn. handsome, talented, and with a large fo tune need not be over bashful. Come, be frank which is tte favorite sister T" "Well, frankly, then, Ilarry, I can not tell you. I have visited the family for several months, as you know, but I can not decide. Laura is certainly the handsomer with her flashing black eyes and queenly manner; but Jennio seems, although the younger, to be the mere womanly and useful of the two. Tet I can not be sure of that. My entrance is the signal for a cordial welcome and smiles, and, let me enter at what hour I will, they are always well dressed and apparently disengaged. To be sure, I always in the morning have to wait before Laura is visible." "Pod in unexpectedly and notice the internareconomy." How can IT A card at the door will put any lady on Ler guard, or even the notice of a gentleman visitor." "Go there in d I guise as a washerwoman, for instance." "Good! I willl" Will you go there as a washerwoman?" cried Clayton. "Net exactly; but I will obtain admittance to a morning's privacy." "Well, let me know the result." Laura and Jennie Somers were the only children of a widower, who, although in moderate circumstances, moved in fashionable society. At the period of my short sketch, he was about to supply the lamented Mrs. Börners' place, after nearly ten years' mourning, and although a kind, indulgent parent, had no objection to his daughters' marriage, and indeed had told them so. Laura, whose high spirit resented the probable supremacy of a rtep-mother, had Already selec:ed Gcdfrey Horton as her future "husband; and Jennie, who was younger and gentler in spirit, tried to conquer a carefully concealed preference for the same person. All his attentions were ascribed by her, to a brotherly regard, though every act of kindness or courtesy touched her very heart. It was the morning after a large ball, aad the sisters were in the breakfast room together. Laura, her glossy black hair pushed negligently off her face, with the rough, tumbled braids of last evening's elaborate coiffure gathered loosely into a comb, wearing a soiled wrapper, torn stockings, and presenting rather an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball-room belle, was lounging on a sofa. Jennie, in a neat morning drees, r.ith a white collar, a large clean gingham apron, and her hair imocthly brushed into a neat knot, was washing the breakfast dishes. "There is an old man at the door with artificial flowers," said the servant, opening the dining-room door; will you see him?" No," said Jennie, Ye" cried Laura. "Send him up." The servant departed to obey the last order. In a few moments the old man came in. lie was poorly clad in a coarse, blue cloak, which was much too large for him. Ilia hair was white, and he wore a heard and moustache of the tame snowy hue. Miking a low bow, he placed a large basket on the table, and opened it. 44 1 have a bunch of flowers here," he said, in a disguised voice, taking them from the basket, -that will just suit your golden hair, Mus," and he held them before Jennie. It was mv sifter who w.öhed to look at your flowers." said Jennie quietly. Yei; brine them her a." was Laura's imperious command. The old man s eves followed Jennie, as she washed, 'wiped and put away the dish es, then swept ;he room and dusted it, and then cat down beside Laura, who was still looking over the basket. "See Jennie, this ecailat bunch will it not be lovely with a few dark leaves to match with ray new silk?" "But" whispered Jennie' "you can't afford it just now7" MYes I can. Father gave me some mon ev yesterday " To Dav the last dry roods bill," said Jennie. Well, I can have that carried to my own private account. "Oh. Laura! 1 hate to hear you talk of a nrivate account. It seems so much like cheating father." N onsen' el It will stand till I am mar ried, and then I can easily save it out of my housekeeDing money. ! should not wish to marry in debt," said Jennie. The old cedler looked earnestly at the aisters. "You had better take this bine bunch. Hiss," he said to Jennie. "If it ain't con venient to pay for it now, I will call again.' -No. I shall not take them." 'They are very becoming, Miaa look in

' ti e i la. '

They were becoming, miiirg with the glossy, golden hair, and setting off Jennie's dazzling complexion, "I wish my hair wai light," laid Laira. 'I should like to wear blue. Godfrey llcrton said last night that forget-me not were his favorite floweri." Jennie colored, and placing the bunch again in the basket, said 'Come, Laura, decide. You are keeping one waiting whose time, probably, is valuable." Then, passing a cbair, she added: Ba seated, sir, you loot tired." I am tired, indeel." was the reply. I will take the scarlet bunch, and these red Camillas, and this white cluster," said Laura. "But, slater, you can not afford it." Yes I can. Godfrey Horton is rich." The old man bit his lip. Think," said Jennie in a low tone, "If you love him, how much it will grieve him if he should discover this deceit." Nonsense! Well, 111 tell you how to remedy it. Lend me some money out of the house-keeping funds." So," thought the old man, "she is housekeeper. Mis Laura always gave mo to un

derstand that that was her poet.Laura! Steal from fatherl" Then don't preach. 'Miss Jennie," said a servant, entering at that moment, "the dinner has come." Jennie left the room, and Laura still turned over the gay flowers, while the old man pointed out their various beauties, his eye, in the meantime, running over the disordered hair, shabby dress, and lazy position, which he mentally contrasted with Jennie's neat attire. 'Not decided yet?" said Jennie, retiming after a short absence. "No. Come here." "I can't. Father has sent home a calf's h?ad. and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Margaret. I must superintend the dinner, make a pudding, and the parlors must be dusted, and there is my white tulle to be finished." "Before I would be the drudge you are I" cried Laura. "Drudge 1 nonsense! I have plenty ot time left for enjoyment, and father can not have a comfortable house, if some one does net superintend these things. When I mar ry you may do it, and she laughed mer rily. "As if I should not marry first !" said Laura. "There, I have chosen all I want." "Shall I call again for the change?" said the peddler. ! shall be happy to put the Misses Somers on mv list of custom ers." Ye?, call again." So the peddler picked up his basket, walk ed homo, threw aside his wig, beard and disguise, and wrote an offer of his hand and heart to Miss Jennie Somers, which was ac cepted. Laura Somers has two sources of profound meditation: One is" Why did Godfrey Ilorton propose to Jennie instead of me?" The other "I wonder why that old man never called to be paid for those exquisite flowers 7 ' Selected. Care of Feeble Children. Harper's Bazar.J Many children are afflicted with chronic ailments and deformities, which require the most constant attention if the sufferer would have any chance of being restored to health or the perfection of bodily strength. Some of these are congenital, or date from the time of birth, others are the result of accident, or exhibit themselves by degrees while the child is stih young. Some of them can be cured, some are incurable, but nearly all can be in some way ameliorated. .Now, as in all cases of chronic disease in ildren, whether of the bones or muscles. or internal organs, the greatest care should be taken that the condition of the little pa tient is kept up to or as near to health mark as possible. Parti ular care should be taken in regard to diet. This ought to be suitable for the age of the child, and the meals should be given with the greatest regularity. Children should never be permitted to fast too long, nor should they Da allowed to eat too much at a time. They ought to be taught at a very early age the benefits of eating slowly and masticating well. The clothing should be light, but warm, comfortable, and moderately loose. Flannel, the softest that can be procured, and well shrunk, should be worn next the skin, and there ought to be no tightness of the dress anywhere, neither in feet, legs, waist, arms, nor neck. Garters and corsets are injurious to health. An over amount ot coddling is most injudicious. Plenty of exercise in the open air is impera tive if health U to be maintained. Many a poor child is positively starved for want of fresh air. Close, stuffy nurseries and badly ventilated bedroom have to account for a deal of the unhealtbiness that renders life to many at best but a burden and a woarines. The value of personal cleanliness in chil dren can not be overrated. I know there are many peeple who think it quite enough if the little ones are "bath"ed once a weeic. This is a great mistake; face and hands and feet should be kept constantly clean, and the bath, cold or tepid, used every night at bel-time. This, if the supper has not been a late one, will conduce to sound sleep, 1 without which a child can never be well. Seven o'clock thould be bed-time with young children: the bed itself should ba a moder ately hard mattress, never feathers or down, and the bedclothes ought to be light, for per?pi ration is most weakening, especially if the child be at all delicate. Fig Leaves. Lenten lilies, mingled with delicate fern fronds, constitute the mo6t correct corsage bouquet of the present season. Golden brown and ficelle gray are beauti fully combined in new dres goods of cloth and flannel, of exquisitely fine texture. For dinner parties, pink and black dresses, in Spanish style are exceedingly popular with young ladies of the brunette order of beauty. Do not trim wool with silk, braided designs have superseded tho use of piece silk for trimmings, and these are not only much more effective, but they wear better as long as the material itself. The polonaise is by no means discontinued: on the contrary some very handsome specimens are made in the mixed tweeds in the dark rich shades of myrtle and plum, az.d brown, finished with vests of velvet, and worn over velvot or velveteen skirts. The newest brocaded Ottoman silks are in designs o fruits and flowers, and tho seissors of the dressmakers will make as great havoc with apples, plums, orangee, eraDea. and various buds and blossoms as they did last season with heads of beasts ami birds. There is great improvement in the man ufacture of sereea this season. Instead cf the Dlain. un patterned surfaces we have been long familiar with, this useful aad economical material can now be purchased flecked with colors, and even decided pat terns are sometimes woven into it. , Lone pelisses for early srnnir wear are made up of a rich looking textile, resem bling in pattern and coloring the very ancient Bagdad shawls tiny palm patterns, in scarlet and cold; or of v er million and

black, with dash ei of pale yellow. Then

pelifses are limply lined with dark green ilk, and bays a plush .bordering around the edges about six inches deep. The sleeves are in pagoda style, deeply carted and extremely graceful in shape. Sprays of fine flowers, like forgeUmenots, lilies of the valley, mountain daisies, rose buds, and tiny green leaves, violets, arbutus blossoms, and the like, mads of semiprecious stones of a color matching that of the flower they represent, are mi into brooches and lace pins, and are taliir g - the place of the jeweled -eyed animals, insects, and serpents so long in favor. All the spring woolen materials are very soft and supple, draping gracefully, and light in weight. The principal colors are dahlia, fawn color, Russian green, dark royal blue, and seal and golden brown. Many of the designs are in large" ehecks of two shades, usually dark grounds with lightej hair lines intersecting, or with pointolies of briglt color at unequal diitances. The costumes composed of these tissues are simple in style, many having the skirt plaited at full length, and a tunic lined with plain surah of a bright shade of capucine grenet

or old gold merveilleux. Velvet, or velvetoen of the best quality, are very fashionably employed with woolen materials, either in large portions like bodice panels, and wide revere, eras crcssway bands, collars, cufff, and pelerike. The shape of the new spring bonnets is medium. No bonnets so tiny as the small capotes which have been popular this winter are shown, and no huge pokes like those of last season are thus far imported. The new bonnets are cm ate with flowers and a plentiful mixture of gold tinsel. Colored straws in every shade and tint are shown in profusion. A season of flowers is predicted and the dandelion is the flower of the seaBon. Little clusters of the blossoms are mou n ted on the top rim of the bonaet mixed with pompons and ribbon, or two shades of the flower in ribbon the pale lemon like tint of the edge ot the petals and and the darker orange shade of the centre of the blossom are used. An exquisite little cottage bonnet of Havanna brown straw is trimmed on the brim with a mass of goldcolored pompons, ostrich tips, dandelions, flower?, buds and leaves.'ana a rosette-like bow of gold velvet at one side. Strings of gold velvet two inches wide finish the bonnet. , All Around the House. The application of hot water to the surface for the relief of pain is an old and well-tried remedy. The medical profession now universally recognizes its value. One good way to utalize bits of cold venison is to chop them fine, then heat with some of the gravy left from dinner, or, if you have none, with a little water, in which you put a generous lump of butter; season with pepper and salt; then fill some pattypans with the venison, and cover the top with crust. Bake until the crust is "done brown." Housekeepers who do not think tbey can afford to have Worcestershire sauce on the table often, can make a bottle of it to do good service by using the sauce as a flavoring extract. There is nothing which adds a piquancy and an indescribably good laste to gravies lik. this popular sauce. A tablespoonful is enough to flavor a mediumsized gravyboat finl of gravy. It you have plain, boiled rice for dinner and have a little left, it is by no means necessary that this should bo thrown away; it will help to make delicious fritters; add milk and flour and one egg for the batter; if you have fruit to put in, so much the better; drop by spoonfuls in hot lard and fry till a delicate brown; a little sugar in the batter helps to give it a brown tinge. An appropriate gift for a musical friend is a music portfolio, luxuriously lined with silk, and ornamented with suitable designs in outline stitch. For example, a pongee portfolio ia lined with thrown satin, and finished with a cord. Un the outside is a large harp, done with brown silk in outline sülcn, and intertwined among the siring in an old English script is the legend, ''If music be the food cf love, play on," or the notes of some favorite strain with the words, or a bar of some sonata with the composer's name, may be substituted. For jumbles, take one pound of butter and one pound of white sugar powdered or granulated rubbed togetner to a cream; add six well-beaten eggs, the juice and grated rind of two lemons; to this add flour enough so that you can mould them into shape with your hands, but not roll them. Dip each one in cracked loaf sugar, drop a blanched almond on each, and press in the centre of the jumble. Great care mut be taken to prevent burning while they are baking. The quantity here given makes a large number of cakes. How many mothers know that they can knit up as well as down? When children have reached the age when they wear out the knees of their stockings and the heals and toes also, the ingenuity of woman must be exercised. In the most hopeless-looking stocking thre is usually a strip at least an eighth of a yard long which is too good to throw away, and yet is too much worn to pay to ravel out and knit over; from this then cut off the ragged top and bottom, and knit up as well as down. If you can not match the color, use another shade, or to a brown strip knit a scarlet or grayish brown top. Jfavorite ' pudding is made by beating three eggs very light, the whites and yelks together; flavor with the juice and grated rind of a lemon and a half toaf poonful of grated nutmeg: to this add one cup of gra ted bread crumb?, one cup of finely chopped apple, one cup of English currants and me and a half cups of sugar; itir'these vigorous ly till well mixed, then put in a buttered Eudding dish and boil for at least two ours and a half. Serve with any good sauce, or with cream and sugar alone. One way to beautify a baby carriage and to mase the young occupant appear to ad vantage is to make a pillow-case for his pil low of blue siles ia; to this may be fastened on the upper side a soft cover of dained net. with an edge of torchon. Fasten this to the silesia with small bows of. narrow blue ribbon. Make each bow unlike the others. This Can be placed on the pillow when the baby is to be taken out in his best at other times a plain white pillow case edged wlin Hamburg or torcnon u good enough for the best of babies. In fancy work are some new crewel de signs that are more than usually effective and novelty adds a charm that is peculiarly its own. On tinted oat meal cloth are fixed at equal distances five inch blocks of colored sateen pink, blue, yellow, or cream -jnly one color, however, beinz used lor any sing'e piece of work. These blocks are stamped withjamall birds with the gayest, brightst featuers, and in every conceivable attitude. Round the blocks there is either a tracery resembling fret work, and looking . like frame to the picture, or there is a design of foliage. The tracery is worked ia out -line in silk crewels of bright colors. Antima cassars have only one end decorated. Tea cloths are bordered all around. Splash cloths for the back of washitands have the rnamental blocks of the printed sateen placed near the lower edge. Night sachets comb and brush cases, and doilies for toilet table are all made after the same pattern and are to b had ready for working at mod erate pricea.

An audience of 4,OCO persons greeted Mr. Moody in Dublin. Church property in New Hampshire is no longer exempt from taxation. The Methcdists expect to build 450 Churches in the United S ates this year. There are more than 20,000 Sundayechools connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Christian at "Work savs that "the Pope contemplates lending a Papal Ambassador to "Wa!hington.'' 'Liberalism has crept into the churches," eays a Western parjer; 'but it has not yet reached the contri&ution box." Rev. "W. M. Pettis, of Newport, Ky., has been elected to the rectorship of St. John's Church, Lafayette, but has not yet signified his acceptance. In the race for denominational growth in South Carolina the Presbyterians are ahead. Their Church has made more progress in five years than any other persuasion. Darin the last ten years, according to the carefully kept statistics of the chief constable of Glasgow, Scotland, not one public house is reported as open on Sunday. The oldest preacher in Massachusetts the Rev. Gscrge Allen, of Worcester, who hs just completed his ninety-first year is the only survivor of the Yale Class of 1813. "Did you know," said a cunning Yankee to a Jew, "that they hang Jews and donkeys together in Poland?" "Indeed! then it is well that you and I are not there," retorted the Jew. "If the Legislature abolishes the office of Chaplain," says the Tombstone (Arizona) Epitaph, "eome of the members will lose an opportunity of hearing a minister of the gospel for the first time."

The son of the late King of the Limbia Territory, Western Africa, is at present at England under the c ire ot Key. J.

Iiis uncle, the ltegvnt, has agreed to build a new Chapel at his own cost for the Weslyan MLsions. A woman went to a Michizan clergyman for advice as to a business venture, and implicitiy followed the directions which he db not hesitate to give. The result was disastrous. She now sues himg for $4,500, that being the amount of damage which his bad counsel caused. His defense is that, while his profession made him an expert in spirit ual affairs, the woman had no excuse for re lying upon his judgment in business matcrs. At Ladora, Iowa, a tornado some time asro blew away the Fresbytorian Church. There was a debt of $000 on the land, which was not blown away. The Ladora Presbyterians have been so energetic and so pros perous since the lime of their disaster that they now have erected a Church costing $2 OOO. In addition to this they have paid their old $900 debt. All the aid they have had from outside was the $000 which the Board of Church Erection gave them. There are many debt-burdened Churches which might find a tornado a bonanza to them if it struck them as these enterprising ai ?.? r j . i nriäuans oi u&aoz were eirucx. Notwithstanding all that the missionaries have done among the people of tbe Congo region Of Africa, most of the natives are still firm believers in witches and witchcrart. All diseases, deaths, and ether mis fortunes are charged to the influence of witchcraft. When any disaner happens to a person of high rank the first question is, Who is the witch? There are witch doctors, whose business it is to point out tho persons they suspect of being witches. As the property of these who are proved to be witches is always confiscated, the witch doctor is shrewd enough to point out somo p?rsjn oi considerable means. IT the tests which are applied are regarded as conclusive that the accused are really witches, the mott abominable tortures follow. These genarlly end either by putting the victim to eVath with spears or chopping his head off. Some mischievous vounsr persons in a ru ral Church choir were proud of the way in hich they rendered the music of the Church, and were much annoyed by the discordant way in which an tld deacon in the congregation persisted in doing what he considered to bo his duty and his share of tbo bincing. The old man, who bad baen. in the habit of sineinz m; that style all his life, refused to take tbe many hints which were from timo to time sent to him. At last the choir folks, weary of his discord, waited on him in a body, and told him how diner ent his singing was from theirs and how they wished he would st-p. lie listened to them sadly, but respecttullv, and then said: My young friend?, my voice is not good, and my earls not perlect. My singing is notskilrul; but I am sure it is more acceptable to God than yours, for I sing as a Christian, while you sirg all your beautiful music only as a choir."

Plans for a tunnel through the Great St. Bernard have been prepared by M.

Paper pulp strengthened with cotton or woolen fibres is now used to make a neat and sufficiently durable stocking costing much lets than the price of laundrying a pair of cotton or woolen stockings. A few weeks ago, during a heavy storm, the Kio Grande suddenly changed its course by cutting through a bend near Camargo, and thus placed several acres of inhabited territory within the legal limit of the United'states. The retreat of vegetation from the polar regions is attributed by M. M. Key de Morando to the gradual decrease of the diameter of the sun. lie thinks that the great center of our system was once large enough to send its rays at the same time over both poles. After & recent violent storm on the English coast a quantity of saline matter was observed on windows at a distance inland. The deposit is believed to have been made by ocean spray, which in this case must have been blown by the wind at least sixty mils. Water saturated with alum is recommended by the veteran scientist M. Dumas, as a speedy and effectual remedy for extinguishing fires. Iii J proposition if based on the theory that the alum tpuld coat the objects wetted with it, intercept the access of atmospheric oxygen, and thus stay combustion. A chemist of Vienna has invented a glass wh'nth contains no silex, potash, soda, lime or borax. In appearance it is equal to the common crystal, but more brilliant; it is transparent, white and clear, and can be cut and polished. It is insoluble in water, and is not attacked by fl uroic acid, but it can be corroded by hydrochloric and nitrid acid. When in a state of fusion it adheres to iron, bronre and zinc In Eschershausen, in Germany, a farm, the soil of which is rub. in alkalies, has for twenty years been manured with artificials. The crops have always been good, and only a falling off of straw has been noticed when 'silica" plants were grown for four or five years in succession, but the original yield has been obtained when a "lime" plant had been introduced into the rotation. A remarkable statement was made recently before a scientific body in London the statement given as on the authority of Mr. Veitch, the well-known authority on 'Cocferaa" that the cones of many of the species on the Pacific coast never open and permit the seed to escape unless opened by a forest fire, when they fall out and replenish burned waste. "They hang on the trees for many generations even for thirty years." It is not much use asserting, says the Lancet, that assemblies of sane persons ought not to become victims of panic, but, in truth unless the nervous system of man could bo reconstructed on a new principle. which would necessarily deprive it of some of its most excellent qualities, it is impossi ble mat there will not always be a ten dency to impart and receive this impression, which so powerfully ailects tho body and mind that judgment is for the time suspend ed, and the limbs either refuse to act impulsiveiy or unuer me control oi u.e emotional part of the being. Discipline is the only remedy for a tendency to panic Adaption is an evolution theory which has received strong confirmation. One of iU principles is that organs or functions of living creatures gradually disappear if unused. A familiar illustration is furnished by the blind fish of caves, whose eyes, through long diEuse, have been reduced to a rudimentary and sightless state. It ap pears, however, that the evolution view does not always hold good il it be true, as teiy stated, that in some .uropea l in stances mice have been raised in absolute darkness for many generations without appearing to have lost in the slightest degree the sensitiveness of the eye to light. A correspondent of the Chicago Medical Times recommends Mr. Gezon's formula as a cure for corns, which is as follows: R sali cylic acid, 20 parts or grg. xxx; eitract cannabis indica, 5 parts, or grains v; collodion, 240 parts, or f. z ss. The Times says; The collodion fixes the acid on the diseased part, and gives speedy relief by protecting it from friction. The cannabis indica acts as an anodyne, and the acid reduces and loosens the corn so that it comes off in four or five days adhering to the collodion. Tbe remedy is applied with acarrers-hair pencil, and if the corn is not well cured the applicacation may be repeated. In four or five days the patient should use a warm hiot-bath and rub off the collodion. If any portion of the corn remains the acid should be applied again, and the treatment continued until the whole of the corn has disappeared. The skin will be eoft and smooth, as in the healty state. Nothing; to Do. IPeck's Sun. Coming west on a dining car on the For Wayne and Pennsylvania Road.last Sunday morning, the passengers were putting in the time waiting for a late breakfast, conversing on all kinds of topics. Two men wore in a seat talking, when ome said, "Nine o'clock is a later breakfast than I am accustomed to. I always eat breakfast at seven." The other man, a splendid looking young fellow said after a yawn, 'I never eat breakfast till 10 o'clock." The man with whom he was talking said, "You must be take it pret ty leisurely about getting to business," and then the nice looking young fellow said. Business! I have no business. , I have noth ing on eann to do and never had- l never had a thought cf doing anything and never bad a care. 1 have an income. Everybody that was within hearing turned and looked at the great, strapping fellow who had nothing on earth to do, and he fell away below zero m everybody's estimation. We pitied the fellow from the bottom cf cur heart. Nothing to do. No ambition no nothing, but to get up an appetite for the next meal by drinking bitters, co business to take his mind from his lazy life. Then we studied the fellow all day and half of the next day. Honestly, it got so the passengers looked down on him, and sneered when he passed. There were a dozen drum mers going west on business tripe, and they were full of business. Home of them, looked out for the main chance, and tho first eve ning we took a little dislike to one or two of them, because they seemed to have too much cheek. One in particular, who in looking over the bill of fare, was constantly asking the cond actor if fried potatoes went ia free with lach and such cishca, teemed

to be on the make, and at first we sort or went back on him; but after that well dreesed loafer, with an income, had advertised that he had nothing to do, and no ambition to do anything, we felt warmed toward the free fried potatoe fiend, and would have bet money that he had more soul than the loafer who had nothing on earth to do. There was n)t a man on the car, even the porter?, but was respected more than the well dreesed creature who had nothing to do. A man who has nothing to do is a pitiable object How can he enjoy seeing his children eat when he knows he did not earn by his labor of hand or brain that which they enjoy. He is simply a kept man. He is living on charity. Some amniable snooxer, now dead, has left him the money that he lives on, and all he ha to do is to draw the money and eat drink and sleep. No eyes can brighten with happiness when he comes home because he only comes home when the other places are closed. He can not come home tired and be petted and rested by willing hands, because it would be mockery to pet a tired man who got tired doing nothing. Such a man simply exists, and is no good on earth. If he would wheel a barrow, and earn a dollar and get ti'ed, and buy a beefsteak with the dollar and have it cooked, and 'eat it while the appetite was on that he got wheeling the borrow, he would know more erjoyment than he has ever known tefore. That nan with nothing to do on earth no doubt thinks that he is enjoying life. Such a man is a cipher, and does not kno w enough to go in when it rains. If there were less incomes left to lazy young fellows, and more sets of carpenter tools th6re would be more real en

joyment. The electric incandescent pocketbook is the latest. It is always light. Not a Beverage. "They are not a beverage but a medicine, with curative properties of the highest degree, containing no poor whisky or poisonous drags. They do not tear down an already debilitated system, but build it up. One bottle contains more bops, that is, more real hop strength, than a barrel of ordinary beer. Every druggist in Rochester sells them, and the physicians prescribe them." Evening Express on Hop Bitten. A Troy 'Terror's" Modest Inquiry. A Trojan two-and-a half-year-old boy was sitting on his mamma's lap after having undergone the preliminaries to retiring for the night. His countenance assumed a deeply thoughtful expression, as though he were wrestling with a mental problem calling forth his entire intellectual faculties. Suddenly, having apparently reached the eolation of the problem exercising his brain, he looked up, into his parents face, and sagely asked: "Mamma, wasn't it good not to be a girl 7" Having received parental approval of his forethought h quietly and Dntentedly drepped asleep.
