It la rot doubted that men have a home in tut place where each one has established bia nesrth and the run of bis possessions sad tntor.cs; whence he will not depart, if nothing ciü blinaway; whence if he baa Oe parted he Ree cos to fee wanderer, and If he returns he ceases to winder.

Llzli leve to play, ai well &3 other erattures, tut thoy prefer their cwn kind for plajrrat?, and they can resent a joke that is curried too far. A correspondent Eeniä this cute little bird story from Lim'ngton, ile., to tho Portland Tress, a toil him by a lady cf that rural town: In ter back-yard aro some plum trees, in which ecme bush-sparrows for several yeara have built their net Is and reared their yoang. The lady used to put upon tho bck doorsteps and window-sill shreds of cotton yarn fcr ttcm to build their netls with. She alio placed pieces of cracker or gug?.rccokics there, which the birds would come &Ed e?t er d feed to their young, and afterward coax their younir down when they could Cy, and teach them to e.nt also. The lady took t;rcat plea-aro in tho birds aa they camo from year to year, and she could distinguish them from othora of the came species, for all ethers wcroshv; the3e were not, even on tbeir first return. One day, after the young had grown ' up, tte vrlcie Seek were down up:n tho doorstep feeding npen the supplied crackers, wheD, to their attonishment, a striped fjiirrGl, who had been sitting erect near by bppareatly uc enticed, leaped amor? thorn, and off they flew in a greit fright. Tho Eime thin-; was repeated stveral times. Finally, they Saw cp and lighted upon a piece of clothesline, which hai been left for that purpose for them, ad, puttin- their heads together, they chattered several minutes, then down they lljw a-jain upon tho steps by tho pieces of cracker. After a few moment?, in leaped the rqiirTel. To his surprise, however, tho birda, inttead cf fiybg away &- usual, set upon hiru, pickirg and beating hira wita their w.nrs. The squirrel beat a hasty retreat, and navar returned to annoy them'af ter ward. Silk Culture for Girl. I.C. it. Denys la t;. Nicholas. Can net girls raise silk w weil &3 boys? 'Yep, totter," says a girl who ouhtto ttow, for the has been raising silk haraelf At Ivo years. "Of ecur:e, boyi can feed tte wcrmB as well a3 girls; but when it comes toJbandlirg the delicaty übers, for roeliacj or ether pr.rpcees, the girls have tho advantage, tccatsa their fingers are more delicate. Bui, meet girls wculd rather embroider or paint cn silk than raiae. I tell you, they don't know hew interesting eilk raising id. I've been 6. it tvro years, and it grow3 more and mere inlerestise to nw every day." This particular girl h3 a briix step, a-d nch br:ght eves, clear complexion, and ro?y checks aa would eet you wondering if ahe had not washed her faoa Li Mny dow. It seems she began rai-inir Eilk T,-h;a she wee thirteen years old. At tbst time she wts very fond of italing, and p2nt ? much tirce poring over her book3 that h r eye were in darger cf being injured. II sr iV.her, to pievent th;s, eount to c-ceupy tsr with silk worms; and now tho h-M biiconia io interested in silk that she devotes nil her time to tte subject. As her family live 1 in the hefirt of tho city, where there were no mulborry trees, ehe and her father uiel to sUrt cut at four o'clock every morning in tae feeding season and walk to tho park, to gather froih haves fcr rer wcrme. Tt is little girl's father helped her very kindly He rcado frames for her to cover with nets for her feeding-trava; and, after awhile, actually moved to a house nearer tas park, s that the would cot have eo far to go for tho mulberry leaves. So now they have only a milo to go, and need not start on their miming walk till about five o'clock. "To bo sure, one ruts the risk cf malaria by such habit?," ihe owned; "but then wa always eat something before tvo start, which greatly leeEfEB the danger.'' The young silk-raiser has her room full of crcricsities connected with the silk inluj'.ry. It is interetting to ncto the uiu'arence between the boya' eilk-room and this ono. Tne toys' place looks llko a real work-ronm, witkeut much attempt at ornament. The gills', cn the contrwy, looks like a littlo p?ricr with her cellectiin cf silk product tastefully arranged on tfce mantel, on tablos, and in p!fiS ce?. The walls are hung with ptinted silks scrotnr, with photographs of patron cf tho siik causo, aJ tettors of distinguiihed people who have bet.n intarastei in hcrmrk.

There was a silk ashing line of a pretty ultramarine tint, twisted so tight and tmcoth that it seemed almost aa stitT and elastic as fine Eteel wire. ."Trat wa3 mado by & Georgia lady from ailk produced by eg8 I sent her," explained cur informant. be makes silk nihicgliEfS, for sale, and supplies all th8 men and toys in her neighborhood.

If that work had been done In this country it would have cost an immense sum, but we can import them at a very low prica. That little model of a resl worked by Cnineso figures was sent to rno from a fair, and these ccttcn peds, closed out, were Eent from Louisiana. "Here is something I value highly two bits of ribbon, labeled: 'Economy, Pa. 102.' So, you E60, as long ago as that Ger-' man emigrants made silk in this country. It is very hard to get a piece cf this rare silk " So she went on showing oae interesting thine after another. There were specimens of siik in almost every form loose, reeled, s pun, tw isted, woven, embroidered, cases of I ay eewing-silk, wreaths of So vera cf si k thread stretched on wirc3, and hanks of silk that looked like lovely silver gray hair. Over tte cases hung a placard with the words, See what a worm can do." And I thcu2tt to myf elf that it might have eaid jut as truthfully, "oe what a girl ein do." Ocecf tho most striking obj sets in the rcom wa& a tall stand on which wera displayed ling, flowing bunches of eilk of all the raUuaf tint, from cream colcr tP s bright yellow, which lookod like tho treaj-uicd-tretses, flaxen or sunny gold, of so rrtcy fair rr&idesa.

I have a fine reel now that wa n-.de in Philadelphia and given to mo. Tt ere it stands in tho corner. I had tho water-pan made by a tinman and fittol tn this old sewing-machine stand. "When I use it, I set a lamp under the pan to heat tb.9 wster. Uut 1 don't reel very much, only in the winter, because I keep most of my cocoens for eggs." ""Where do you feed your worms in the rearcg season?" we asked. Eight here in this rcom," she replied. "Cut aa they gro'v v, e have to spread them cut ever threo rooms, though our frames aro flvo e! cries high that is, there aro fivo tiers of trays. I raio so many 70rrn3 now that rcy fatter and two brothers havo to help mo carry hoiro leaves for them every morning, and sometimes the boys have to go again in the evening. 'Cut it is onlv for a fow daya that the worn: 3 eat so much." "It stems strango that thero are not a great many other girls interested in eilk as you are," we remarked, 'Yes, it dee?," said sho. "I suppose thero are some in difTorent parts of the country. Cut in tho city it is not oay to get mulberry Ha e. ; snd city girls who havo to earn their 1 v:i y stem to prefer working in factoriea or etcr s to taking the trouble to help themselves by siik ra;sing. I-iow, I like it so much I wouldn't chango it for any other empic j rent. There is so much variety in it so n: ch that is interesting to lsarn about it; though it doesn't take very much knowledge lorrifceiik. I've put all tho nece?3iry infcin.u; c:t in my instruction book. Hiven't ycu E(en it? It ij in tho third edition now." Last year, a lamo girl I know, who lives with her mothor in a country village where there aie a few mulberry trco3 growirg near the hcuso, thought she would try raising silk. So she bought- a dollar's worth of eggs ar.d a littlo instruction beck, and began with her tray3 spread on tho sitting rcom tablo. At first, it was nothing but fun to watch tho quo3r little brown things feeding. Jlut they eoon grew so largo and tte so much that eho was oblige! to spread them eut mora and more, tili thoy oc-' cupied two cr three noca instead of ono Kile, aDd it kept tho little lamo girl and her mother both busy gathering leave-3 to satisfy their appetites. But, by tho erd of six weck3, they had all dene feeding and spun their little silken covers and gono to sleep. The lamo girl had a fine lot of cocoon?, which she Ecld for twenty-seven dollars, and felt that she was well pat 1 for her trouble. CeEides, she got honorable moation at tho grand silk fair at St. Gaorge'a Ilall, which was something to bo proud of. So she bought four dollars' worth of eggs for th-a next sea

son, hoping to make lour times as rauch money. I wi-.h more girls would try ' silk raising. I think ycu cculd er joy it, girls. It it is not practicable for you to belong to a silk association, ycu can raise silk just as woil by yourtelve?. Hut I should like to hear of a Girls' Silk Culture Club ready to begin work next season. There aro so many methods of trimming dress skirts that it is almost impossible to mention any cue ftylo as baing, par exceileac?, the most fashionable.

KT JOHN HAZKLRIGJ. irirn. At her residence, near naralri?, Ind., on Wednesday, February 22. lssi, !n the lity-r! ft a Tear of her age, Mrs. Mary Haülri(, widow ol trie late Hon. II. G. IlazslrJs,. and sister of Ex-Gov-ercor Henry S. Lane. To-day I stood beside my mother's grave, 1 t'e soil jast newly du, wßere sprlujr'ime'a io irad grown forth neither blade of grass nor lhsrer 1 o deck the hallowed spot where only räee-fly Tbe st ere J charge had been dnsigae1. N j au's TiansluceDt ray from heaven's canopy Lit up the gloom. Thediyof the dead. Where no armed sentinel wita silent tread Had e'er stalked forth in mnjesUc mien. Was wiatped ItKheavy stillness; silence relgael, And roCi'.turblne element was there To hover o'er the sacred sen 1 '.eher. I knelt Eeslde the new-made crave while soa were born t't pent-op grief which now convulsively Iid agitate my frame, despite the strength VI will-power exercised ; hish heaven bowed In deep soiemniiy, where Sorrow, kneeling before the shrine of Reverence, had broke 1 be rfcorCa that with the streugth of Hercules Lid bilhetto bold fat the doors which op'ed To He avm snd relief. In Fraircy s train I xetd the rtues which had marked her life, And mued upon the tranquil nature that, I neriing as the gods themselves, had wrought In ctarsc?e:s of cid the deeds of go3l 1 rat death had left complete. I wept as one W hoe Irmot tonl was stirred with grief, and yet 1'oudJ ccmfori in th leara whicii nowed Ii cetssnt as tbe troubled mountain stream IL&t leekslis reft in quiet rivulet. How long I knelt. Thus fobbing out the grief so long pent ur, 1 could not teil ; nor kuew 1 that tne sua," Fene ath the blent korkou s?t, had left me In total uaraneks wrapt. It seemed that years Had aged my he&rt, till Immortality, With uembling, outstretched hand, did beckoa rxe To clap its goal and reap reward asd peace t'eceath its biaing portalg. Bunding down My wesryform, till quivering lips dia toucn The mother earth, I k lived the sod that hid From mortal gaze the alabaster brow tf btTwbo bore me: then turning on my heel? 1 lroled tbe world 6iraight is the face the world That promised naught to mo but sorrowTill 6weet-faced Destiny, with horo'copic hand, Wrote out ita lessen on the map of Time here Ambition taught ita creed, and Labor woced The eoul of victory! TABLE GOSSIP. Ntt everything that . tetters falls. Montesquieu. Long prayers will net eavo a man who gives short weight. Handsome underclothes have never been in such demand as at present. "White Danish kid gloves, embroidered with lillies of tho valley, are worn by bridesmaids. A doctor thinks tight-lacing h a public benefit, because it kills off tho foolish girls and leaves the wieo ones to grow into wooaen. Ti folly indeed that one should care The sweets of life to analyze; To driLk one's fill of the perfu -.ied air Is tha only way to be truly wise. Mr. Emerson said: ''It is an economy of time to read nono but famed books" those already stamped with the approval of generations, Man milliners are cn the increase in Europe. They are employed in all the 13 1-icnaV-le milliner establishments of Paris aid London. Whiskey softens the brain, hardens the heart, limbers the knees, stifiens the breith, loosens tte torgue and lightens the money market. That human tyinphcny in black was quite right when ho said that in oar iatercoureo with tho world "we ought to have our pockels Etuffed full cf charify.' Nothing is our own ; wo hold our pleasures Just a little whi e ere thev are tied; O'ie by one life robs us of our treasures; Nothing is our own except our rieal. Adelaide I'roctor. A weapon is anything that C3n serve to wound ; and centimtnts are perhaps the meet cruel weapons man csn empioy to wound his fellow man. Calzae. . If we had a ke6n vision and feeling of all ordinary human life it would be like hearing the grass grow and the EQuirrel's heart boat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of siionce. Gecrgo Eliot. A Philadelphia clergyman preached on the text, "Thou Ehalt not'tempt the Lord thy Gcd," and illustrated it with, "We pray to the Lord to give us health, and tempt him with nlthv streets, sewer gas, and bad water. A great controversy is raging in England over the question of reform in women's dress, The London Lancet condemns tho "divided skirt," as well as corsets and the weight of clothing worn by women. On the other hanä, the divided skirt finds stanch advocates among tho ladies. Why aro not tho wcolcn' goods for women's clothes shrunk? The demands of the time warrant tha Earno provision for woman being caught out without waterproofs and umbrellas as for men. Put those who b iieve the world was mado for men must now reccgnizo that it must bo made "over for women. The prcrer "caper" this year is to tsck a littlo tin sign on year door telling where yeu havo gone to spend the summer, and when you will be back. It is feared that this will bo a temptation to a good deal of white lying- It takes a good deal of ccurago to writo out tho announcement: "Gone down into tho country to f pongo ofl my father-in-law. Bo away ail summer." A Washington lady told Mrs. Gen. Sherman that tte roason why the General had such a mania for St, Louis was because "all tte ladies there will let him kias them, hero they won't." Mrs. Sherman admitted that theGeneral is rather handy with his mouth;" and "does nearly all the kissing for the family." Mrs. Sherman cugtt to insist on doing her share; perhaps be wouldn't like to have her to "handy with ter mouth." It happened last evening that one of our citizens had occasion while at home to want ten cents in change and asked his wife for it. To his surprise Ehe wentto the ice cheit, frcm which she took hor wallet and gave him a dime. 'For heaven's sake," inquired he, "what do ycu ke?p your money in tho ico ehest for?"' With an expressive shrug of the ghcu!der3 she replied, 4iTo keep it it melts away pretty quick." lie saw the forco cf the remark. The railway to Piko's Peak will bo completed next summer. ThU ro3d will bo an erdlefs cable, strung about fifteen feet above grcund,and'will be operated on tho principle of a cable Etreet railway, with the di2erenc that the cars will be attached beneath thi catlo instead of above it. Tho cable will b ) surpcrted cn pillars about 1G0 feet apart Tte care will h-.-ld two persona and will run at the rate cf four miles por hour. It takes two lours and fifteen minutes to reach the top of tho peak frcm Manitou. The peak is 14,1 17 feet above eca level, and Manitoui3 0,107 above, or one mile and a half tclow the peak. It is between eight and nine miles in air lire from Manitou to tho summit of tho peak. Who marries for love takes a wife; who marries for fortune takes a mistress; who marries for pcEition tafccj a lady. You are loved by your wife, regarded by your mistrer s and tolerated by ycur lady.

Your wife will take c ire of your hcutehold, your nistress of your hou?e, your lady of ycur appearances. If you aro

sick your wife will nuisa ycu, your mistress Tr.ll visit yoo, your lady will" inquire affsr year health. You take a walk with your wife, a ride with ycur mistress and go to a psty with your lady. Your wife will share ye ur grief, your mistress your money, your hdy jour debts. If you are dead your wif will woep, your mistress lament, and your lady wear mourning. "Which will you have? This is Mr. Euikin's idea of courtihip: ""When a youth is fully in leve with, a girl, and feela that he is wise in loving her, he should at occo tell her so plainly, and lake hie chance bravely with ether euitors. No lover should have the insolence to think of fceirg accepted at crce, ror should any girl hate tbe cruelty to refuse at ence, without severe leasees. If she simply doesn't like him she cay send him away for seven years cr eo, he vowing to live on cresses and wear lEClclcth meanwhile, or the like penance; if f he likes him a little, or thinks ehe might ecme to like him in time, she may 'et him Etay near her, putting him always on sharp trial to see what stufi he is made "of, and requiring, figuratively, aa many lion skins cr giants' heads aa she thinks harself worth. Tte whole meaning and power of true courtship is probation, and it ought not to be shorter than three years at least; seven is, to my mind, the orthodox lime. And these relations between tho young people should be openly and simply known, not to their friends only but to everybody -who has the least interest in them; and a girl worth anything ought always to have half a dozen or so euitors ander love for her."

WIT AND PLEAMANTKr. De hon6jmoon is so called 'caure while it shines man wants for no mo' lasses. In this wicked life of ours there is a great deal more of meek turtle soup tLan real turtle soup. The Burlington Free Pres3 defines "a Sabbath day's journey" as the distance between any place and the nearest good f shing ground. The Health Journal says that you ought to take three-quarters of an hour for dinner. This is no doubt an excellent rule. Fighting flies is good exercise. A shoemaker's epitaph True to the last. A taker's A friend in knead. A lawyer's Calmly he lies. A fireman's Ho dreaded not the fire. A plumber's Faithful to Lis charge. If your college would make iti rule not to receive male etudents, but that girls should be embraced in their classes, it looks as though there wculd bo a more satisfactory attendance. Tho Judge. It may bo a mighty big eourco fur consolation when a po' man sets down an' says, ''It's all right, lur de rich man can't get ter fceaben;" but gib the po man a chance, an' see how quick he'd etan' in the rich man's ehoes.'' ArkanEaw Traveller. A swimming teacher says it U a curious fact that women can' float on water more easily than men. This may bo because their feet are lighter, although some people will be mean enough to say that tho r.al fact is that constant talking develops her lungs and thus renders her body lighter in tha water. Somebody pat a Small mud-turtle, about the eize of a silver dollar, in a bed at a Kew Jersey hotel and the stranger who wa3 assigned to that room, on preparing to retire caught eight of it. Ho at once resumed his clothes, remarking: "I expected to have a pretty lively night of it, but if they're as big as that, I don't propose to get in with 'em.' Mary Bullock got a ridiculously heavy verdict against tue English Company on whoee railroad Eho was slightly hurt. Cat a new trial has been granted on tr.o ground, as expressed by tho judge, that she and her Eisters, who appeared as her witnesses, were so beautiful that their charm of person had seemingly depitvcd tho jury cf common cense. Now, just imagine tho time those jurors aro having with their wives. Sheridsn crca told a story of tho exquisite good breeding of a banker's clsrk, of wno the wit had borrowed some money, and to whom he aciaally repaid it. "D.dn't ho look astonished?' asked a diecoartoous friend. "No," said Sheridan; ,lha was just going to look astonished, when he remembered his manners, and swept away ths money as unconcernedly as if ho had not given up any idea of seeing it again." London Society.

Mull and novelty laces are Important factors in the trimming of garden hat; and fjr the service understood "Leghorn flts have sgain obtained the lead. An elegant and picturctque creation is a Lozhorn 2it, with brim of not immoderate width, trimed with a mull Ecarf bordered with a icnife-pUite-l Newport lace, forming a bjw with short ends, which is posed at the edge of the crown on the left side and holds in place a cluster of scarlet poppies. A hat trimmed to order for a lady who is taking off mourning is trimmed with a mull ecarf, finished only with a hem and a cluster cf purple velvet pansies; and a hat for a young lady has tho lace-edged mull dr6pery supplemented by a spray of white lilac and foliage. Almost all bodices for summer wear are this seaeon cut open in the neck for indoor cr outdoor toilets; for the latter, "however, the cpen sps.ee is occupied by a platron representing a wf.'utccat or a jabot ofl&ce, or an embroidered chemisette may replaco the plastron, but where lace or very shear embroidered fabrics are used they must bo. placed over some non-transparent material, S.B the contrary would be wholly bad tasto fcr outioor wear.

His system will be rejuvenated, his nerves strengthened, his sight become clear, and the whole constitution be built up to a.higher woiking condition. Personal Adornment, Embroidery in si'.ks or beads on the dress material is as farhionable as ever, and hand painting cn rich silks and satins is msst artistic and luxurious in effect. Thii coming autumn and winter hand-painted gvnitures will be the very height of fashion; thoy certainly will always bo ''out of the ommon,'' as the price for these elegant adorn Tnents is beyond the crdin&ry purse. Painted muslins ever thin silks th9 cilor of their ground are very elegantly worn. The trimmings of these are always stirred or puffed, any pleating spoiling the pittern. Many of tte pattern tissues have tho long polcntise tunic raised very high on one fide under loeps cf ribbon, the drapery being cither in upright pleats or by gaugiags. For washing materials this style is as usäfal ai it i3 pretty, for the drapery is easily undone and rearranged. The close-fitting sleeve is yet popular, though it is not worn so uncomfortably tight as formerly. There can bo no moro ridiculous sight than that of a lady particularly ore with a naturally thin arm and wi3 wearing her Eloeve drawn eo tight aj to oblige her to keep her arms continually at one angle because Eho can not movo bar elbows. A little mora latitude h3ro is conducive of a ccnsideraMe more grace, as well af indicative of the wearer's having iUtned to the email but profound voice of common sense. M.

George Stephenson's "docket," and the magaiacent locomotives of to day.are built uponthe same general principles, yet the machine with which tte great engineer astonished his age, is Interesting now onij as an illustration of the beginnlns of the Invention. There were plasters wita holes In them long before BEKSON'3 CAFCIN'E POROUS TLASTER surprised both the public and the physicians; and the triumph of the Capcice is founded upon the partial success or the utter failures of its predecessors. Everything of value in the old -porous plaster Is retained In the Capcine; but at this point all comperisoa ends, and contrasts begins. For example: The old plasters were slow ia their a;tion;the Capcine is quick and Eure. The eld piasters lacked the power to do more than to impart slight, temporary relief in cases easy of treatment; the Capcine penetrates the sjstem and permanently cares the tionbles for which t Is recommended. The old plasters depended for any goal results they might attain, npon an accident of .thetr makers and the nked faith of their wearers; the Ben son's reaches is ends by means of the sclontiflc combination .of the rare medicinal icfrjdients which it contains. In brief, the old plasters, like Stephenson's discarded engine, are switched oT the track, while the Eanscn's goes on Its way winning golden opinions from all scrts of people. Yet in this very fact lies the le idin dancer to the people who buy and ue thia reliable and scientific remedy. "Ilypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue."
