31'CORMICK TO THE FROH. THE FARMERS FRIEND AT WORK AGAIN A Simple Device- Perfected Which I Quickly Interchangeable With the Twlne-Knotter For Binding Grain It Free the Farm r From Combinations and Trust. A representative of The Settütel was passing the McCormick sales-rooms at No. 167 and 16D E. Washington-st. yesterday when he was hailed by J. B. Haywood, the general state ajrent, and on entering he was shown a little device which this company has perfected for the purpose of interchanging it with the twinet notter, therehy leaving the farmer free to ue ither wire or twine and thus making himself independent of any combination or trust that may be formed on account of the scarcity of übers from which twine suitable for binding purposes is made. The enormous increase of consumption of fibers, together with the com )ine which has been eflectd between manufacturers and importers will, in a short time, place twine out of the reach of the farmer as a LindiDs: material; especially is this so at the present low price of grain. The device just iuTented and perfected by the McCormick harvesting eomnany is simply their old, widefamed wire binding device much simplified, and is, if possible, more simple than tbe present twiae-knotter. It needs do turther introduction to make it a xecotrnired success the world oTer, and thus add another laurel to the McCormick. The little device costs but $15, and with twine at the prospective higb prices, will save the cost of itselt n a very small harvest. In looking at the machine, even an expert could not detect any chance, excepting that two spools of wire had taken the place of the ball of twine. Two or three years ago the McCormick company introduced an entirely new twine, the "Blue Jay," containing a new fiber, which rras sold at reduced price, but the prejudice which the farmers have against twine has induced the company to perfecta device which will make the fnrniers absolutely independent of twine. It is an inexpensive weapon with which the farmer can control both the twine and the wire markets. It will prove more deadly to the twine trusts than any resolutions of farmers alliances, however trorr. or any legislative enactment, however careiully guarded. HENRY W. PAINE. Anecdotes of t Man Celebrated For His Wit and Wonderful Memory. The writer heard, one day this week, some new stories about that wonderful man, Henry "W. Paine, whose acute sayings are numbered anions: the world's best epitrrarns. says a contributor to the Lev-iston (Me.) Jouma'. The narrator was once a pupil of Paine's in the Boston university law school, where Paine lectured on real property. "One day," said tbe eentleman, "Mr. Faine made this remarkable statement to me: 'I was born on the bank of the Kennebec river and grew up there; yet I never went in swimming, j ut on a skate, played a game of cardd, or borrowed a dollar.' " I will leave it to my readers who are acquainted with the customs of Kennebeckers to decide which of these four specifications of abstinence is the more remarkable. "I will tell you an incident," said this pen tienan, "to illustrate the wonderful power of Paine's memory when he was in his prime. They were exhibited almost daily, but never more conspicuously or dramatically than in this cae. "In 1879 he visited England, and with a party of ladies and gentlemen, went to Windsor cajtle. Although Paine had never been there before, he seemed to be perfectly acquainted with all the objects of interest on the road and in the vicinity, which he pointed out to his friends with copious comments. One of the buildinns to which he called their attention was a house which he said once belonged to Lord Coke, the preat English Jurist. "iieg your pardon, sir,' said an Englishman standing by. who overheard. 'Lord Coke never lived there.' "1 thii.k I am right,' said Paine, quietly. 'If ruy memory serves me, Lord Coke acquired that house by his marriage with his 6econd wife. Ann Hatton.' "'You're wronir, sir.' persisted the Englishman. 'I'm a member of Lord Coke's profession, and I know.' "'Well, we won't dispute it farther,' said Paine, pleasantly. MVe probably agree as well as two lawyers ever do.' "Nothing more was said, but the next day as Paine was walking on the Strand in London, whom should he meet but this gentleman. The latter took off his hat on seeing him, handed him his card, and said: 'I wish to beg your pardon, sir. Lord Coke did live in that house. Von were riirbt and I was wrong.' "This was the Leginning of an agreeable acquaintance. "I remember riding home in a horse-car with Fiine one day," continued thi gentleman. "Paine was reading a sheepskin-bound volume of law reports. A mutual acquaintance hailed him and said: 'See here, Paine, do you have to study law still ? " This isn't law,' said Paine. 'It's only a collection of decisions of the Massachusetts supreme court.' "The great lawyer," the gentleman went on, "once quoted some singularly beautiful and appropriate versus in an im prorata tribute to the memory of a distinguished jurist, the spontaneous eloquence of which kept his hearers spellbonnd. Somebody asked him where he found the lines. "I only know,' said he, 'that my father reeated them to me over sixty years aeo. when was a lad. I never have seen or heard them ince.' " Paine inherited his wagcrbh spirit from his father, who was an inveterate joker. One day a Waterville citizen, noted for his miserly character, aiked Paine, the elder, to write an epitaph to be placed on his grave-stone after he should bare gone. Paine agreed to do it, and sent him the following: If braven be pleased whn sinners cease to sin. If bell be pleased when sinners eoter la. If earth be ph-ased when dies the arrant knave, Then sll were pleaded when John Jinks filled this grave! A Fear! Animal. . Terre Haute E press.)

RISING FROM THE TOMB.

THE TABERNACLE EASTER SERIES. Tbe Bev.Dr.Tal mage Graphically Describes the Seen of the Sepnlcher The Tower That Baa Shifted Governments and Overcome All Obstacles. A vast multitude attended the Easter cervices at the Brooklvn tabernacle The pews, the aisles, and all the adjoining rooms were thronged, and multitudes m the street could not pain an entrance. The Kev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. IX, preached on the subject : " Aromatic for Easter." The pulpit and galleries of the church had elaborate floral decorations. The congregation sang the opening hyran : We praiso thee. O (iod. for the son of thy love, Fr Jt-xua who died and ia now gone above." tr. Talmago took two texts Luke, xiiv, 1: "Bringing the apices which they have prepared." I. Corinthians, xv. 52: "The AS , trumpet shall sound." He said : Enchanting work have I before me this Easter mornintr, for, imitating thefe women of the text, who brought aromatics to the mauselenm of Christ, I am jroing to unroll frankincense, and balm, and attar of roses, and cardamon from the East Indies, and adors from Arabia, and when we can inhale no more of the perfume then we will talk of sweet sounds and hear from the music that shall wako the dead. Having on other Easters described the whole scene I need only in four or five sentences sav: Christ wka lying flat on his back, hfele??, amid sculptured rocks, rocks over him, rocks under him, and a door of rocks all bounded by the flowers and fountains of Joseph's country seat. Then a bright immortal, having descended from heaven, quick and l!a.hin? as a falling meteor, picks up the door of the rock and puts it aside as though it were a chair and sits on it. Then Christ unwraps himself of his mortuary apparel, and takes the turban from his head and folds it up deliberately and lays it down in one place, and then puts the shrowd in another place, and then comes out and finds that the 6o'diers who had been on guard are lving around, pallid and in a dead swoon, their 6words bent and uselcw?. The illustrious prisoner of the tomb is discharged and 500 people see him at once. An e?pecial congress of ecclesiastics called pay a bribe to the resuscitated soldiers to say that there was no resurrection, and that while they were overcome of slumber the Christians had played resurrectionists and stolen the corpse. The Marys are at the tomb with aromatics. Why did not these women of the text bring thorns and nettles, for thepe would more thoroughly have expressed the piercing sorrows of themselves and their Lord? Vv'hy did they not bring some national ensiün, such as that of the Koman eagle, typical of conquest? Xo, they brinjr aromatics enpreetive to me of the fact that the gospel is to sweeten an deodorize the world. The world has so much of putrefaction and nialador that Christ is going to roll over it waves of frankincense and sprinkle it a!l over with sweetsmellinsr myrrh. Thousands of years before this Solomon haJ said that Christ was a lily, and Isaiah had declared that under the gospel the desert would bloom like the rose, but the world was slow to take the floral hint. And so now the women of the text brin hands full and arms full of redolence and perhaps unwittingly confirm and emphasize I he lesson cf dtodorization. When Christ's troepel has conquered the earth the last offense to the olfactories will have left the world; sweet, pure air will have blown through every home, and churches will be freed from the curses of ill-ventilation, and the world will become two great gardens, the empurpled and emblazoned and empanidised hemispheres. Sin is a buzzard, holiness is a dove, in is nightshade, holiness is a flower. If you are trying to reform the world open the windows of that tenement-house and pour through it a draught of God's pure atmosphere and set a geranium or a heliotrope on the window-sill ; e'eanse the air and you will help cleanse the soul. How dare this world so often insult that feature of the human face which God has made the most prominent feature in human physiognomy? To prove how He himself loves aromatics I bring the fact that there are millions of flowers on prairies and on mountain fastnesses the fraeranee of which no human being ever breathes, and He must have grown them there for his own regalement. And for the compliment the world paid Cbri.-t by giving him a sepulcher in Joseph's garden he will vet make the whole earth a garden. " es, he expressed his delight with fragrance in the first book of the bible, when he said, "The Iord smelled a sweet savor;" and he filled the air of the ancient tabernacle and temple with eweet incense; and there are small bottles of perfume in heaven descrilied in revelation as golden vials full of odors. I preach an ambrosial gospel which will yet extirpate from the worid all fou'.ness and rancidity and the last noisomenesä and the last mephitic gas. Glad am I that, though the world had chiefly spikes for the Savior's feet and thorns for the Savior's brow, the magni put frankincense upon his cradle and the Marys brought frankincense for his grave. Notice alto that Christ's mausolem was opened by concussion. It was a great earthquake that put its twisted key into the involved and labyrinthine lock of that tomb. Concussion 1 That is the power that opens all the tombs that are opened at all. Tomb of soul and tomb of nations. Concussion between England and the thirteen colonies, and forth comes free government in America. Concussion between France and German, and forth comes republicanism in France. Concussion among the rocks on Mount Sinai, and on two of them was left a perfect law for all ages. Concussion among the rocks around Calvary and the crucifixion was made the more overwhelming. Concussion between the United States and Mexico and a vast area of country becomes ours. Concussion between England and France and most of this continent west of the Mississippi becomes the property of the American union. Concussion between iceberg and icebere, between bowlder and bowlder, and 1,(XK) concussions mit this world into shape for man's residence. Concussion between David and his enemies, and out came the psalms whicn otherwise would never have beeu written. Concussion between God's will and man's will, and, ours overthrown, we are now creatures in Jesus Christ. Concussion of mir-fortune and trial for many of the good, and out comes their especial consecration. Do not, therefore, be frightened when you see the great upheavals, the great agitations, the great earthquakes, whether among the rocks or among the nations or in individual experience. Out of thcra God will bring boat results and most magnificent consequences. Hear the crash all round the Lord's sarcophagus and see the glorious reanirratin of itsdead inhabitant. Concussion ! If ever a general European war, which the world has been expecting for the last twenty years, should con e, a concussion so wide and a concussion so tremendous would not leave a throne in Europe standing as it now is. The nations of the earth are tired of having their kings born to them, and thev would after a while elect their kings, and there would be an Italian republic and a German republic and a Russian republic and an Austrian republic, and out of the cracka

and crevices and chasms of that concussion would come resurrection for all Europe. Stagnation is death! ul : concussion is Mesnianic. Notice also what the angel did with the etone after he had rolled it away from the mouth of the Savior's mausoleum. The book says he rolled away the btone from the door and eat upon it " All of us ministers have preached a sermon about the angel's rolling away the stone, but we did not remark upon the BUblime fact that he sat upon it. Why ? Certainly not because he was tired. The angels are a fatigueless race, and that one could have shouldered every rock around that tomb and carried it away and not been besweated. lie sat upon it, I think, to show you and to show me that we may make every earthly obstacle a throne of triumph. The young men who get their education easy seldom amount to much. Those who had to struggle for it come out atop. There is no end of the story of studying by pine-knot lights and reacting while the mules of tho towpath were resting and of going hungrv and patched and barefooted and submitting to all kinds of privation to get scholastic advantages. But the day of graduation came and they took the diplomas with a hand nervous from night-study and pale from lack of food and put their academic degrees in the pocket of a threadbare coat Then starting for another career of hardship they entered a profession or a business where they found plenty of disheartment and no help. Yet saying. "I will succeed; God help me, for no one else will," they went on and up until the world was compelled to acknowledge and admire them. The fact was that the obstacle between their discouraging start and their complete success was a rock of fifty tons, but by resolution, nerved and muscularized and re-enforced by Almighty God, they threw their arms around the obstacle, and, with the strenrth of a supernatural wrestler, rolled hack the stone, and, having become more than conquerers, they sat upon it. Men and women are good and great and useful just in proportion as they had to overcome obstacles. You can count upon the lingers of your one hand all the great singers, great orators, great poets, great patriots, and great Christians who never had a struggle. That angel that made a throne of the bowlder at Christ's tomb went back to Heaven, and I warrant that, having been born in heaven and always had an eav time, he now f peaks of that wrestle with the rock as the most interesting chapter in all his angelic lifetime. Oh, men and women with obstacles in the way, I tell yon that those obstacles are only thrones that you may after awhile sit on. Is the obstacle in your way sickness? Conquer it by accomplishing more for God during your invalidism than many accomplish that have never known an ailment. Are you persecuted? By your uprightness and courage compel the world to acknowledge your moral heroism. Is it poverty?

Conquer it by being happy in the companionship of your Lord and .Master, who in all his life owned but cents, and that he cot from a fish's mouth and immediately paid it all out in taxes to the Koman assessor, and who would have been buried in a potter's field had rot Joseph of Arimathca contributed a fdace ; for he who had nowhere to lay his lead during bis life had a borrowed rillow for tho last slumber. There is no throne that you are sure to keen except that which vou make out of vanquished obstacles. An ungrateful republic at the ballot-box denied Horace Greeley the hiehest place at the national capital, but Could not keep him from rising from the steps of a New York printing office on which he sat one chilly morning waiting lor the boss printer to come that he tniL'bt set a job until lie mounted the highest throne of American iournaiism. He rolled back the etone and sat upon it, A poor orphan boy, picking up chips at Richmond, Ya., accosted by a passing sea captain and invited to come on board Iiis vessel, drop the chips and starts riirht away and is tossed from port to port, and, homeless and friendless, wanders one day along Tremont-st., Boston, and sees Tark-st. church open, and, speaking of it afterward on a srreat occasion and using Bailors' vernacular, as was usual with him, he says: "I put in, I up helm, unfurled sail, and made for the gallery and scud under bare poles to the corner pew. Then I hove to and came to anchor. "The old man, Dr. Griffin, was just naming his text. Pretty soon he unfurled the mainsail, raised the topsail, ran the pennants to free breeze and I tell you the gospel ship never sailed more prosperously. The salt spray flew in every direction, but more especially did it run down my cheeks. Satan had to strike sail, his guns were dismounted or spiked, his various crafts by which he led sinners captive were all beached, and the captain of the Lord's host rode forth conquering and to conquer." Before that sailor boy was poverty, and he conquered " it; and orphanage, but he conquered it; and ignorance, but he conquered it; and the scoir of the world, but he conquered it; and he rose till every sailors' bethel in the world blessed him, and great anniversary platforms invited him and Daniel Webster and Charles Dickens and Frederika Bremer and poets and orators and senators sat electrified at his feet, and his gosnelizing influence will go on until the la.t Jack tar is converted and the sea shall give up its dead! All the obstacles of his life seemed gathered into one great bowlder, but Edward T. Taylor, the world renowned sailors' preacher, rolled back the etone and sat upon it. Yet do not make the mistake that many do of sitting on it before it is rolled away. It is bound to go if you only tug away at it If not before, then I think about 12 o'clock noon of resurrection day you will see something worth seeing. The general impression is that the resurrection will take place in the morning. The accent to the skies will hardly occur immediately. It will take some hours to form the procession skyward, and we will all want to take a look at this world before we leave it forever and see tho surroundings of the couch where our bodies have long been sleeping. On that Faster morning the marble, whether it lay flat upon your grave or ctood up in monument, will have to be jostled and shaken and rolled aside by the angel of resurrection, and while waiting for your kindred to gather ami the procession to form your resurrected body may sit in holy triumph upon that chiseled etone which marked the place of your protracted slumber. On that day what a fragile thing will Aberdeen granite and column of basalt and the mortar which will rattle out of tbe wall of vaults that have been sealed a thousand years, and the Taj. built for a queen in India, a sepulcher 275 feet high, and made of jasper and cornelian and turquois and lapis-lazuli andamethvst and onyx and sapphire and diamond, and which shall that day rain into glittering dust on groves of banyan and bamboo and palm. And all under what power. Ponderous crowbars wielded by giants? No. Thunderbolt cleaving asunder the granite? No. Battering-ram swung against the walls of cemeteries? No. Dynamite drilled under the foundations of cenotaph and abbey? No. It will be done by music. Nothing but music; sweet but all-penetrating music. The trumpet shall sound! You say that this is figurative ; how do you know ? I3ut whether literal or figurative, it means music anyhow. The trumpet, that stirring, incisive, mighty instrument, with a natural compass from G below the staff to E above, blown above binai when the law Children Cry for

was given, blown around Jericho when the walls tumbled, blown when Gideon discomfitted the Midianites, blown when the ancient Israelites were gathering for worship, to be blown for the raining of the dead in the last great Easter. The mother who, when the child must be awakened, kisses its eyes awake, does well. But the trumpet, which when the dead are to be aroused, kisses the ear awake, does better. Be not surprised if the dead are to be awakened by music. Why that is tho way now we raise the dead. " Take the statistics, if you can, of the millions of souls that have been raised from the death of sin by hymns, by psalms, by solos, by anthems, by flutes, by violins, by organs, by trumpets. Under God what hosts have been resurrected by Ira D. Sankey, by Thomas Hastings, by William D. Bradbury, by Lowell Mason, by motherly lullaby?, by church doxologies, by oratories. If we raise the dead now by music be not surprised that on the last dav the dead are to be raised by music. The trumpet shall sound. And that instrument shall have plentv of work to do on the day mentioned, it will have to sound through all the pyramids, which are only names for sepulchers, and liberate the buried kings. And through hypogean graves which were built in mounds and the hypogean graves which were dug in rocks and through the WO winding miles of catacombs under and around the Roman Campagna, where over 7,000,000 human beings sleep. And through nil the crystal sarcophagi of Atlantic and Pacific and Mediterranean and Caspian and Black sea deeps. And over all the battlefields of continents until all the fallen troops of English and French and Italian and German and Russian and Persian and American and the world's battlefields answer the call. Marathon, come up! Agincourt come up! Blenheim, come up! Acre, come up! Hohenlinden, come up! Sedan, come up! Gettysburg, come up! Near Sharpsburg during our civil war, when I was, with some others, under the aupices of the Christian commission, looking after the wounded, federal and confederate, one moonlight night I was where I could look down upon the tents of tho sleeping army. Oh, what an imposing spectacle ! But my subject calls us to look down upon a mightier host of soldiers slumbering their last sleep in the bivouac of the dust; tho 700,000 slain in the Cri.nean war, the S00,000 slain in our American war, the 15,000,000 slain in the wars of Sesostris, the 25,000.000 slain in Jewish wars, the 32,003,000 slain in wars of Ghengis Kahn, the 80,000,0(H) slain in the war of the Crusaders, the ISO.OOO.OOO 6lain in the Koman wars. Ave, according to Dr. Dick, the dead in war, if each one occupied four feet of ground, would make enough graves to reach 412 times around the earth. The most of the people are dead. The world is a house of two rooms, a basement, and a room above ground. The basement has two to one, three to one, four to one more occupants than tho superstructure.

Sickness and war and death have been stacking their harvests for near 0,000 vears. AV here are those who -saw the Pilgrim fathers embark, or the declaration of indepehdence signed, or Franklin lasso the lightning, or Warren Hastings tried, or Queen Elizabeth in her triumphant march to Kenilworth. or William, prince of Orange, land, or ( iustavus Ado!phus crowned, or Jerome of Prague burned at the stake, or Tamerland found his empire? Gone! Gone! But the trumpet shall sound. Music to raise the dead. Oh, how much the world needs it. You take a torch and I will takea torch and we will go through some of the aisles of the Roman catacombs and see the expectant epitaphs on the walls arid right over where tho departed slep. You know that those catacombs are fifty or sixty feet under ground, and if one loses the guide or his torch is extinguished, he never finds his way out. So let us stay close together ami with our torches as wo wander along a small part of these 000 miles of these underground passages, see the inscriptions as they were really i chiseled there on both sides the j way. On your side you read by the light of your torch: "Here rests a handmaid of (iod who out of all her riches now pos- I sesses but this one house. Thou wilt remain in eternal repose of happiness. A. i D. ÖN0." On 1113' side I read bv the light of the torch: "Aurelia, our sweetest daughter; she lived fifteen years and four months. A. D. 323." On your side you read: "Here hath been laid a eweet spirit, guileless, wise and beautiful. Buried in peace, A. D. 3SS." On my side I read: "You well deserving one, lie in peace. You will rise. A temporary rest is granted you. Flaucus, her husband, made this." On your side you read: "Nicephorous, a sweet ßoul, in the place of refreshment." On my 6ide I read: "In Christ. Alexander is not dead, but lives beyond the stars and his dead body rests in this tomb." On your side you read: "Here, happy, you find rest lowed down with vears. "Irene sleeps in God." "Valeria sleeps in peace. ... . 'Arethusa sleeps in God. ' "Navira in peace, a sweet soul who lived sixteen years, a soul sweet as honey; this epitaph was made by her parents." 13ut let us come out from these catacombs and extinguish our torches, for upon all these longings and expectations of all nations the morning of resurret tion dawns. The trumpet shall sound! And tho sooner it sounds the better. Oh, how we would like to get our loved ones back apain! If we were ready to meet our Lord, our sins all pardoned, what a good thing if this moment we could hear the resounding and reverberating blast! Would you not like to see your father again, your mother again, your boy again, and all your departed kindred a?ain? Boll on sweet day of resurrection and reunion I Under the hoofs of the white steeds that draw thy chariot we strew Easter flowers. Would it not be grand if we could all rise together? You know that the Bible siys we shall not sleep, but we shall all bo changed. What if we should be among the favored ones who never have to s'e death, and that while in the full of life of our body we should hear that trumpet sound and "these mortal bodies take on immortality. Oh, how I would hasten to two places before the close of such a day peaceful Greenwood and the village cemetery back of Somerville. And I would cry aloud: "The hour has come, the trumpet has sounded, the resurrection is here. Father and mother, you were the best of all the group, now lead the way 1" The earth sinks out of sight.

SOLD IT FOR A SHILLING.

PRICE OF A DRUNKEN MOTHER'S BABY Other Stories For Young Folks Trundle lied Theologr The Joke on Mamma They Knew Him The w Baby Knotty Problems. It is almost impossible to realize that there is to-day a system of child-slavery carried on in London, says the YordKt Companion, a recognized traffic, which goes on in spite of tbe efforts of tbe wise and charitable. Any one who knows where to inquire may for a trifle hire a child for begging purposes, and the terra of hire may be so extended as to amount practi cally to purchase. Roys are cheaper than girls, as the latter usually look more frail and so excite a larger measure of sympathy. Thus one must pay sixpence a day for a girl, while a boy brings but fourpence. Of course charitable people are always on the lookout for these little waifs, but Dr. Barnardo, who is director of certain homes for orphan and destitute children, says that although .1,t)00 are now sheltered beneath those friendly roofs, thousands more are still outside. As an example of the wretchedness to be thus relieved, he tells tho story of his "shilling baby," not as an exceptional case, but as a typtj of many. A miserable-looking baby, evidently the property of no one in particular, had for some time been noticed by charitable visitors to a vile lodging-house, crawling about the steps and in general taking care of itself. It was ascertained that the mother had died or gone away, and that a woman of very low character held authority over the child. Ir. Uarnardo sent word to the woman that if 6he would bring him the child it should be admitted to the children's home, and she duly appeared, half tipsy and wholly disgusting to the eye. The" little creature which she at once set down upon the table was about two years old, weazened, pale, dirty, and with a look of age and sutfering about the eyes and mouth. The child's manner seemed impressed with a gloomy self-possession. "You may leave her with me," taid Dr. Barnado to the woman. "What are you going to give me?" asked she. The doctor replied that she would not be paid, but she ought to feel very grateful at being relieved from the care of the child. "Well, then, I ain't!" she rejoined, with emphasis. "1 don't mind lettin' you have her, but in course I want her walue." She set her price at haif a sovereign, but this the doctor was compelled to retuse her. If he gave so large a sum he would ppeedily be overrun with more children than he could ever feed. The woman rolled angrily away, only to return in a short time more intoxicated than before. Finally the doctor succeeded in buying the baby for a shilling. When the child was undressed its clothes were found to be knotted on with String-, indicating that th-y had not been taken off for weeks, at leapt. It was literally a creature of skin and bone, a living skeleton. Some months afterward when Pr. I'arnado visited one of his "homes" he found there a blue-eyed chubby child, whose winning ways were the daily joy of all the inmates. t "I really forget which baby this is," he whispered to the matron, and sne proudly whisnered Lack: "Why. don't you remember? She is the 'shilling' baby!" They Knew Him. fN. Y. Eveoinsr Sun. Chauncey Mitchell Pepew sat in hie library one afternoon last week, talking to a delegation of railroad men who had called upon him, when they heard a terrible clatter on the piazza. The none increased. The children's voices drowned the silvery, rippling, conversational tones of Chauncey. The guests first smiled then frowned. 5lr. Depew was pleased with their smiles, but annoyed at their frowns. So he arose and said: "I will make an investigation. The noise must stop." Mr. Pepew went outside, and to his surprise found his coachman's chi'dren raising old Nick. They paid but little attention to him, however, and his presence did not lessen their clatter. Growing impatient, he said: "Children, do you know who I am ?" "Oh ! yes, we do," said a little five-year-old to the great railroad man. "You're the man that rides in my papa's carriage."

There are several little children in the famil), and as Mr. Harte was passing through the hall he noticed a quaint little four-year-old boy standing alone by the closed nursery door, while from within came tho sounds of childish laughter. '.'Well, my little man," said Mr. Harte, stopping a moment, "what are vou doing there all alone?" "I'm plaving." "Piaving? What are vou playing?" "I'm playing house. sir,,f was the reply.

He had just learned the lord's Prayer in Herman, and suggested to his father that the following evening he proposed to oiler up his new German prayer when ho went to bed, in order to suprise his mother. He added that of course God could understand German, even our common-school German, without any trouble. "Yes," said Ids father, "but I think it would sound a little sacrilegious, and God might not like it in that spirit." O'No; but you don't understand it, papa," said the jxmng man.

It Should slave Occurred 170 Now Postponed Until i;:o. Detroit Free Treis. According to Cardinal Nicolas de Cosa, thia Khould have orrurreil in 17o4. He deaion strates it thus: 1 lie deltiee happened ia the thirty-fourth jubilee of fifty years from the creation (A. M. 17). and therefore the end of tha world should occur on the thirtv-fourth year of i the Christian era, or A. 1). 1"4. The four trace years are adued to compensate for the blunder of chronolosri&ts respecting the first yt'hr of grace. The most popular dates for the end of the world, or wliHt is principally the same thing, the millennium, are the following: 1757, Swedenbonr; K'W, Johann Albrecht Berge); 143. William Miller of America: lN'rfi. Dr. John j dimming; 1S1, Mother Hiipion. It was rery generally beneved in t ranee, Germany, etc that the end of the world would happen in the thousandth year after Christ ; theielore much of the land remained uncultivated and a general famine ensued. Luckily it was rot agreed whether the thousand years should date from the birth or death of Christ, or the riefolation would have been tuuch greater. Many charters begin with these word?: "As the world ia now drawing to its close." Another hypothesis is this: As one day with God equals l,f"0 years (palm xc., 4) and God labored in creation six days, therefore the world is to labor years and then to rest. According to thia theory the end of the world ought to occnr A. M. GOi.O, or A. D. WMy (supposing the world to have been created 4,004 years before the birth of Christ). This hypothesis, which is widely accepted, is quite safe lor another century at least. Host to Clioose. New Orleans Ticayune. A clever woman was recently asked who should be made president of a certain association, of which great things were expected. "I cannot name her," she faid, "but choose some one with a biar nose and tt big: month. There may be no suggestion worth a row ot pins in this, but none the less, it is true that many of the ruling- men and women of power have laree features. This is especially so ia the literary world. At a literary ratbering anywhere Lig noses or lig. iuouths, or both, will be noticeable. The same traits are obeervable at a spiritual seance. At the council of women in Washington the noses of the women were in the aggregate monumental. It is the same at a meeting cf Porosis. Mis Frances Willard has a bisj nose and a good sized mouth. Mrs. Julia WrJ Howe has a bif mouth, but very tine and sympathetic. George Klliot's nose lacked nothing in eiie. It really looks as if the tit;-iiosed, wide-mouthed people had the best of it in life, at ka&t from the public point of view.
