and asks no favors from it supporters.

which it pavs pays particular attention.

Jones Experience with Praying
Women.
Well, you gentlemen laugh and sneer as you please,
But you wasn’t there to see;
And I’ll bet big money every one of you
Would a done Just like me.
When tbev first came round I just aot my pins
To stay with ’em right there.
And the more t-.ey’d sing and pray, and plead,
The more I’d cuss and swear.
They kneeled right down in the muddy street,
And stayed there, too, all day;
But I told ’.m they’d sing their throats all raw,
And pray their heads all gray,
B- fore Id quit my legitimate biz;
And then I’d take a drink,
And smile and bow perlightto the old ones,
And tin the yonng’ns a wink.
Well, that don ■ . "11 ’nough for a week or two,
But it was’ut -styHi’ me.
And I begun to hunt for some other place.
To make ’em iet me be.
But, shaw. the more I’d think and look at it,
The plainer I could see
That soilin' whis'ky wasn’t just the thing
For a strong chap like me.
I ain’t soppy, or nothin’ of the sort,
But some how or another,
When I’d listen to their pleadin and prayin’,
I’d think of my mother
And—well. I’m rough, and pretty old in ein,
Ard I ain’t wise nor smart,
And I don’t go much on the sympathetic,
But then I'ye got a heart.
And so I caved—quit square on the spot,
I couldn’t stand the storm;
And now, since I’m out, and none the worse off,
B’m dead bent on reform.
No, sir, gentleman, you don’t know how it was,
For you wasn't there to see,
And I'll bet big money every one of yon
Would a done just like me.
Vanderbilt.
The wfuli.li of the Vanderbilt family
has been variously estimated, and the
re’ ce me if the Commodore himself
has admitted of little else than mere
conjecture on this point. There is a
general opinion, however,among those
who are in position to judge most
correctly that the wealth vested in
Commodore Vanderbilt exceeds one
hundred millions of dollars, and a
prominent member of the family re
cently sad that the “old man” was
wo th more than that sum. This vast
it si was acquired by Cornelius
Vaiivtc: hilt- t rough his own efforts,
.-Hurting early in life without capital
or inffu ..co. ITis parents were poor,
and his first money was earned in
conveying people to and fro in a row
boat between New York and Staten
Island. He made a large amount of
money in steamboating, but the great
bulk of S is wealth has been acquired
n railroad combinations mid iu the
manipulation ot railroad stocks. He
is and has been all Ins life a very re
markable man. His self-reliance and
pluck are as natural with him as a
drawing breath, and his will and pur
pose indomitable. A man of sue!)
tremendous mental force has he been
that he has moved forward to the ac
complish; mint of bis objects with a
power tts irresistible as one of his
steamboats. His one purpose in life
has been the acquisition of money.
To tins end he lias trained his mental
and physical resources with the great
est care He has made of himself a
machine that has always obeyed the
■ e juirements of his intellect, and
wherever he has struck it has been
witn telling force and effect. He has
always drank moderately and lived
egularly, taking just the requisite
amount of exercise always. Smoking
an i whist-playing are the only indul
gences which he has permitted him
self to any considerable degree. Evsrv
lay he is to lie seen driving on the
mid with a stump of a cigar between
s Lett), and until within a year past
he lias had every evening some of his
cronies, in for a rubber at whist and
to talk horse, a subject at which he
to v, r tires. Latterly, however, his
ev iiiogs have been passed very quiet
ly. He has always been a strict man
of business, kept his own counsel, and
admitted or known no partners. He
never allows the plea of affection or
charity to interfere with his business
matters. Appeals to his sympathy
have about as much effect as a straw
forced under the wheels of a locomo
tive. He has been well, active and in
the harm ss all his life, and has never
tired or weakened. He was 80 years
of age last month, and his 60 odd
years of canstant bard work show that
ne has had one of the strongest phys
ic and constitutions ever given to a man.

Tobacco Smoke Good for the
Teeth-
It is only fair on tobacco to point
out that it is gradually clearing itself
from many of the serious charges
brought against it. It has been per
sistently alleged that among other ill
effects (beside death and madness)
produced by tobacco is destruction of
the teeth. This, it appeurs, ia entire
ly a mistake. Instead of tobacco caus
ing the teeth to decay, it is the best
thing in the world for them, and those
who wish to preserve their teeth
should immediately take to smoking,
if they have not already indulged in
the habit. At a lecture on teeth,
laughing gas, and electricity, as con
nected with the dental surgery, de
livered last month in London by Thos.
Brown, the lecturer observed that it
was populany considersd that the
practice of smoking deteriorated the
teeth. “There could,” he added, be
no greater fallacy. It was true that
it sometimes discolored the teeth, but
it did not cause decay; on the contra
ry, it prevented decay on account of
the disinfectant properties of tobacco
smoke.” This leaves the British Anti-
Tobacco Association and other kin
dred bodies in a very disagreeable
position, for it destroys all confidence
in the awful predictions they arc in
the habit of uttering as to the fate of
smokers. If tobacco does not injure
the teetti, but in fact is good for them,
perhaps it does not shorten life, but is
favorable to longevity.
Rest.
How sweetly sounds the words to
those who have toiled day after day
through the week. From early dawn
to darkening eve, toiling for the loved
ones at home. Work, work, work.
Press on though nurves and muscles
can scarcely give motion to the weary
limbs. It will not do to give up.
Courage! another day has passed,
another sun has set. A few more and
the blessed day of rest, will give re
sponse to the weary limbs. Renew
the contest. Well done. The week
is past the Sabbath dawns. “There
is rest for the weary.” Tho dun clcuds
of adversity are forgotten, for around
the wife and children gather, and fa
ther and mother are made happy.
The sun mounts up; the Sabbath bell
calls tho children to Sunday school.
Leaving father and mother to enjoy
the peaceful home, they run away to
the house of Cod, and tLere learn
what things the Lord has done. Still
higher mounts the sun. And now the
riuging bells from every steeple peel
the call to prayer. Old men and ma
trons, young men and maidens go
forth with quiet steps and thankful
hearts to hear the Story of the Cross.
The eveuiug comes on. Happy, peace
ful groups gather on the verandas, in
shade and qaitt seats, till dewy eve
lets fall the curtian and gents it. with
niyriad stars. Rest! The man of la
bor is refreshed; his muscles brawny
have again been strongly knit. With
thanks to the Great First Cause, the
Lord of All, he retires to his humble
bed, and sleep, sweet restorer,"draws
the string of every care. Renewed,
refreshed and strengthened, morning
finds him ready to renew life’s battle.
Good Advice. —Young friend be
ware of the gaming tables, avoid all
such places of resort; you can find re
creations and amusements elsewhere.
Be on tha look out against the seduc
tive influences of these associations.
Walk on the other side of the street
to avoid them. None of them prom
ise you respectability, health, wealth
or happiness, They do rot improve
your happiness. They do not improve
your education, your morals or your
intellect. They are positively dan
gerous to your peace and happiness,
here and hereafter. They peril the
dearest interest of your immortal soul.
We are told that “the way of the
transgressor is hard,” and we are also
told that “religion was never designed

Heaven and all these things shall be

It is said, that at a funeral in
Howland, a elegyman from Maxfield
officiated, and before the corpse had
been taken to the grave made out a
bill of $5 for services rendered, and
gave it into the hands of a constable
-for collection.

A Schoolboy’s Composition on
Chickens.
Most usually it takes two eggs for
to make a chicken, because, if you
will put eighteen eggs under a hen,
only about nine of ’em will hatch. A
hen is so careless and stubborn that
most always she wont cover her eggs
all over, and so they get chilled; then
they are everlastingly gone up. Also,
the rats will rob a nest; so ‘that if you
get half of a brood, it is a tol’able
crop, and you should be thankful.
Then, I think it stands to reason this
ought to prove what I said at first. A
hen which has got a young family is
more crosser than anything else which
can be compared wit her under the
sun in the United States. There never
was a thing which can ruffle its bath
ers up backwards and rage worse than
a fool hen. A turkey gobbler will do
it, but he don’t go oft' into a red-hot
passion about it and make a fool of
hisself, and get enemies all for noth
ing, like a hen would. A chicken in
the spring-time, which was put to
hatch in March, if it has good luck
and don’t die erf the pip, or gaps, or
cholery-morbus or get drowuded or
something, will be big enough to sell
to the restaurant about in June. They
will fetch $G a dozen, and a chicken is
more popular whore it is a spring
chicken than if it would live long
enough to get as tough as Mntbuse
ler. They say that a spring chicken
is a luxurious thing for to broil and
mix up with toast. That’s what I’ve
heard. Once in a great while we have
spring chickens for dinner. Then we
have the preacher, or else some com
pauy, and I eat at the second-handed
table, and I can always tell by the
savory smell going on in the kitchen
that broiled chicken ought to be good
enough for anybody. But if I can’t
get something to eat more substantial
ler than a smell, I always fall back on
roast beef. A chicken don’t gather
shrewdness like a owl, and it never
picks up any wisdom. It is not a tal
ented thing like a fox. If you can
show me a more stupider thing*than
a hen, I wish you would trot her out.
The rooster has got what little sente
there ever was in the family. It is
one of the worst difficulties with a
chicken that she dou’t know its place.
She won’t stay in the barn-yard,
where she belongs, any way you can
fix it. If your mother has gotflower
beds iu the front yard—and it’s a
mighty curious mother which ain’t—
every last chicken on the place will
get iu to scratch them, if it takes till
next Christmas; and then good-by to
the hyacinthes, and crocuses, and jer
ryranthens’ and nil that kind of fool
ishness. Then is the time that you
want to have two jackets on, or else
to forget to come home early, if it was
you that left the lattice gate open.
Anyhow, that’s my advice. Also, a
lien is hard-hearted and cruel, and
will kill every little stray
chicken who tries to associate with
her own brood, and this is a good
enough reason why she is like a step
mother.
The First Napoleon. —A writer says
the household manners of Napoleon
were those of a boor. “When the es
tablished hour for dicing at Malma
sion was six o'clock, aud, though, eti
quette forbade any one to approach
the table before the head of the house,
ho often failed to appear before seven,
eight, or ten o’clock. A chicken
or somp other articlewas placed on the
spit every fifteen minutes by order of
the cook, who knew well the Labits of
the emperor. The table manners of
Napoleon may have been those of tb6
horo; they were certainly anything
but those of the gentleman. He com
pleted the process of cramming—it
would scarcely be called eating—in
six or seven minutes, as a rule. Ig
noring the use of knives aud forks as
regarded his own plate, he did not
stop there, but ‘helped himself with
his fingers from the dishes nearest
him, and dipped bis bread in the
gravy.
t&F Fashionable Milliner—You'll
