Old customs I Well, our children mj
We can yet along without them;
Out you and I, dear, in our dsy,
Ilsd o'Jn r thoughts about them.
The dear old habits ot tbs put—
I cannot choose but love theta,
And slgb to think the world at last
Had soared so far shore them.
Wc bad not, In (be years gone by,
The grace that art discovers;
Our lives were calmer; you and I
Were very simple loren.
And when, our daily duties o’er,
We strayed beside the rushes,
The only gems you ever wore
Were bright and blooming blushes.
Our rustic wuy was slow, but jet
Some good there wus about it,
And many ills we now regret
Old habits would have routed.
1 know our children still can see
The Filth Commandment’s beauty—
May they obey, as once did we,
From love, and not from duly.
The world to-day is far too high
In wisdom to confer them,
But well wc know, dear, you and I,
For wbst we have to bless them
Though love was in the heart of each,
1 tremble to accost you;
Hail you required a polished speech
I think I would have lost you.
No doubt our minds are slow to gauge
The way* we arc not heeding;
But here upon our memory's page
Is wry simple rending.
It says the forms we stilfhold fast
Were wbe as well as plcaaaut—
The good old customs ol the past
Have leaven it all tbo present.
Tako Care of Cents.
A New York paper says that the
other day HusscI Sage, the fifteen
millionaire, sloppul at a candy
stand to get a stick of chocolate.
Tbo vendor asked two cents per
stick, hut the frugal banker hand*
ui out one cent and riceivcd a hull'
stick in return. The transaction
1 oked small, and so it was, but
there is an old wise saw which says:
“ Take care of tho dimes and the
dollars will take care of them'
selves” Mr. Sag**, however, has
found out tluit '* ho would take
care of cents the dimes would take

A Wonderful World In the Sky,
Mars, one of tbe most interest
ing of all the worlds which, togeth
er with the earth, compose tbe sun’s
family, is now in an unusually fa
vorable situation for telescopic
study.* It can bo readily recog
nized by its steady reddish light as
t follows Jupiter up the eastern
slope of the heavens. Three days
ago Mars arrived at opposition, and
now it is only some sixty odd mill
ion miles from the earth, so that a
mignifying power of 250 diame
ters, which may bo put upou a
good telescope of tbreo or four
inchos aperture, suffices to bring it
wilbiu an apparent distsneo about
oqual to that of tho moon. With
such a power many of tie princi
pal features of tbe surface of this
distant world may be clearly dis
cerned. In fact, a popular tniacon
ceplion prevails in regard to tho
visibility of planetary phenomena.
Moat persons who havo read of the
existence of p;lar snows and of
continents ar.d seas on Mars, sup
pose that only the great telescopes
iu the largo observatories are enpa-
b’e of revealing those things to the
eye. The fact is, that they can he
satisfactorily viewed with a tele
scope that is not too large to be
kept in a room, and which may he
used, with proper precautions, out
of a high window, or better in the
open air, either on the ground or
on tbo roof. Many amateur as-
trouomers now possess com para*
lively small telescopes—costing on
ly €200 or €300—of such excel
lence that Sir William llorsthel
would undoubtedly have given any
prieo to have obtained one of them
iu his day. With such a telescope
the snow around tl.o north pole of
Mars is nt this moment ns easily
visible us the dark spots in tho
moon arc to tho naked eye. this
Martial snow field glittcis so brill
iantly that if seems, by the effect
of irradiutiou, to project liko a siU
ver button beyond the outline of
the planet.
It is a veiy surf rising thing that
tho a>tronomer* of Hicetr-'li real
ly know more about tho polls of
Mars than our geographers know
■biul the poke of the globe upon
which they dwell. While Lieut.
Greely mid his companion* have
vanished from tho sight of inch
merely in the edge of the
that covers tho north pole of tbe
earth, so that it is a qtns
whether limy cun ever lo rescued,
we can sit comfortably in an ob-
s..*rvaiory chair and view the north’
ern snow nip of Mars, measuring
it mapping it, and watching it ad
vance and creep backward with
tho variation of I he »onion there.
Sixty million milo* of spaeo have
not proved impenetrable to human
eyes, hut a few hundred miles of
lee fields on tho ratface of our own
globe have so far constituted an
insurmountable barrier to humau
hands and feet.
It is a very striking, fact that
we have no ontemptible knowl
edge of the meteorology of Mars,
Astronomers havo discovered that
there, as here, tbo seasons are not
equal even in the same hemisphere.
They havo warm winters and cold
summers on Mars, as we have on
tbe earth. Id some seasons ell tbe
A retie regions of tbe earth ar«
choked witli snow and ice, so
that the ordinary channels of the
northern seas become impassable.
Just so on Msrs the severity of the
polar winter varies, and with It the
extent of tho snows. During the
opposition of 18G2 tbi re seems to
have teen a very gloomy sjaion in
Mars, for its atmosphere was heav
ily laden with clouds. In 1877
there was less cloudiness, oud at
some recent oppositions tho at
mosphere of tbe planet has been
still more free from condeuaed va
por, tho result being, of course,
that the surface features were more
clearly distinguished.
There are many other equalty
interesting pbcuomsua which thia
ruddy planet presents, and which
can be teen by anytody wbo will
lift his nose from tbo terrestial
grindstone and behold the heavens
as they are.

Facts of Interest.
The following extract is taken
fiorn the History of the United
States by Alexander H. Stevens,
and can be relied upon as facts
taken from official sources:
“One of the most striking f< at
ures of the war wns tbe great dis
parity between tbe numbers ou tbe
opposite sides. From the begin
ntng to its end, near, if not quite,
two millions more Federals were
brought into the field thou the
entire forces of tho Confederates.
The Federal records show that they
had from first to last two million
six hundred thousand men in the
service, tho Confederates, all told,
in like manner, had but little over
six hundred thousand. Of Federal
prisoners during the war, the Con
federates took in round numbers,
270,000; while the whole number
of Confederates captured and held
in prison ly the Federals was in
like round numbers 220,000. In
reference to the treatment of pris
oners on tho respective sides, shout
which so much wns said at the
time, two facts worthy of note; one
is, that the Confederates were over
anxious for a speedy exchange,
which tho FedcruU would not
■Rice to; tho other is that ot the
270,000 Federal prisoner taken
22,576 died in Confedera’o hand.-;
oud of tho 220,000 Confederates
taken by the Fedtrals, 26,430 died
in their tmud»; tho mortuary tables
thus exhibiting a large per cent,
in favor of Confederate humanity.
From tho above it will bo seen
i hut the Confederates with more
than four to one hi the field against
them, captured 50,000 inoro prig
oners than their adversaries, yet
tho number of deaths of Federal
in Southern prisons wero 3,660 less
than tho number of deaths of Con
federates in Northern prisons.—
Tho contrast is still moro striking
when we tako into consideration
tho fact tho Federals had every
facility lor providing Tor their
prisoners, having an incxhai.slablo
supply of clothing and provisions
nt their command, wliilo the Con
federates wero poor in overjtbing,
not having load and raiment for
thcinsolvuH. ‘The horrors of An-
dersouviilo,” about which bj much
has been written were such wants
and privations as wero patiently
endured in common by tho Confed
erates themselves, while moro than
26 000 men died in Northern pris
ons chiefly from cold and hunger
in the luldat of plenty to the last
ing diggraco of tho Federal Gnv-
IlleUt.’’
Honor tho Door Old ffothor.
Honor the dear old mother.—
Time has scattered tiie snowy iUkcs
ou her brow, plowed deep furrows
on her check, but is she not beau
tiful now ? Tho lips are thin and
shrunken, hut these are the lipa
that have kissed many a hot tear
f.om tho childish chcelts and the
sweetest lips in the world. Tho
eye h dim, yet it glows with soft
rsdiuncu of holy lovo, which can
never fade, Ab, yes, sho is a dear
old mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, bnt feeblo as she
is; she will go further and reach
down lower for you than any one
else upon earth. Yon cannot walk
into a midnight haunt where ehe
cannot seo you; you cannot enter
a prison whose bars will keep her
out; you cannot mount a scaflold
too high for her to reach that she
may kiss and bless yon in evidence
of her deathlcu love. When the
world ehsll despiso and forsake
you, when it leaves you by tbe
wayside to die, unnoticed, tho dear
old mother will gather you np in
her feeble arms and carry you
Imme, and tell you of all your vir
tues, until you alaioit forget that
your soul is disfigured by vices.
Lovo her tenderly, cheer her de
clining years with tender devotion.
BUI Nyo Talks to Young Non.
Young man, wbat aro you living
for ? Have you an object dear to
you as life, at'.d without the at*
tainment cf which you feel that
your life would have been a wide
shoreless waste, peopled by the
spectres of dead ambition? You
can take your choice in the great
battle of life, whether you bristle
up and win a breathless name, or
he satisfied with scabs and niodioc*
rity. Many of thoso who now
stand at the head of the Nation os
statesmen and logicians wero once
unknown, unhonored and unsur g.
Now they saw the air of tho halls
of Congress, and their names are
plastered on the temple of fame.
Yon can win some laurels too,
if you will brace up and securo
them when they are ripe. Live
temperately on $0 a month. That’s
the way we got our start. Get
some true, noble minded young
lady of your acquaintance to assist
you. Tell her of your troubles
aud she will t* 11 you what to do.
She will gln.lly adviso you. Then
you can mairy her, and she will
advise you some more. You
needn’t be out of adviso at ail un
less you want to. Sho, too, will
tell you when you have made n
mistake. She will come to yon
frankly and acknowledge that you
havo made a jack iss of yourself.
As sbo get* moro acquainted
with you sho will he moro candid
with yon, and iu her unstudied,
girlish way, sho will point errors,
and gradually convince you with
an old chair leg and other argu
ments, you wero wrong, and your
past life will come up before
you like a panorama, and you will
tell her so and she will let up aguin
Life is indeed a mighty struggle.

Wonderful Automatons,
Very many of tho tiny screws
used in this country in watchmak
ing aro turned out on three little
automatic machines in Danbury,
Conn. One ot them, while turn
ing out a porfect screw at a fair
rate of speed, is considerably lm<
proved on by ita companions. The
machine takes up but little room
A man could carry it undor his
arm without much difficulty. A
wire is fed through a tube into the
machine. It is carried forward by
revolving teeth. As it appeara
knife cuts away tbe turplua metal
to make the atom for the thread,
just os the cliisol operates at the
lathe of (fie wood turner. As this
is finished a small tube, in which
the thread ia formed, advances and
oiaipe tho stem, forms tbo thread
at lightning speed, and fulls back
As this is done two knives cut that
portion of the wiro off, and the
completed screw falls down. The
wire again advances, and the pro
cess is repeated. Tbe matvel of
the machine Is beet grasped when
the size of the screw formed is un
derstood. This week the largest
size are being made. Thoy are an
eighth of an inch in length, and It
would require 200 of them to weigh
au ounce, llio thread on the
•tern is so small that it is ecaroely
ducernable to the naked eye.—
Eaoh machine will make 5,000
■crews a day. The maobiues have
been at work but Ihtlo more than
a month, and are the resalt of years
of patient investigation.
Strength lo vigorously push a
business, strength to study for a
profession, stiength ft> regulate a
household, strength to do a day's
labor without physical pain. Do
you desire strength ? If you are
broken down, have no energy, frel
as if life was hardly worth living,
you can be relieved and restored to
robust health and strength by tak
ing Brown’s Iron Bitter*, ft rare
cure for dyspepsia, malaria, weak
ness and all diseases reqniring ft
tin*reliable, nonalcoholic tonio.

Stop, Young Han.
Flop, pausa and relleot b<*foie
you handle a woman's reputation
with unhallowed hands. If a wo
man must bo stoned, let not the
missile be huilcd by the hand of a
man - it is cowardly and contempt
iblo for the stronger to triumph
over tbe weaker. This is a grow
ing evil with the sex, and they
forget that a wife, mother or sister

some open aspirations oi sly iuu*

tag the injury.
The cstiinato jou put upon
female integrity is too low at best
for jou to take advantage of every
unguarded point to make your at<
tack, and where no iuvafion is «us-
pcctcd no dofenso will bo made.
It is true )ou may sometimes be
thrown into the society of thought
less, even debased women, but you
must not judge of tho whole eex
by tho delinquencies of a few', any
moro thon you would judge of the
valor and resLtance of an entire
army by the cowardly sunender
a small garrison, or judgo of the
character of honorable or reputa<
tie citizens by tho humiliating and
startling developments of the police
court. Many a spotless character
has teen forever wrecked in this
indiscriminate judgement, many
man’* happincsH destroyed by this
lack of faith in woman.
Never speak lightly of your fe
male friend*, for the blows of an
open, direct attack aro moro easily
partied than those oblique,uniook-
ed for shafts that striko us side
ways. An innocent woman never
recovers frein a wound inflicted
upon her reputation. No hulsam,
however soothing and potent, heals
tho fatal stab, ami Us ache aud
fever are ever proseut, reminding
tho poor victim that a canker worm
is ever preying upon vitality and
sapping tbe roots cf life and hap
piness.
Thay All Knew How.
I took a largo spider from hi*
web under the basement of a mill,
put him on a chip and set him
afioat on the qn ; et waters of tbe
pond. He walked all about the
sides of his bark, surveying the
situation very carefully, and when
tho fact that he was really afloat
and a yard from shore seemed to
bo fully compreheudcd, be proa*
pectcd for the nearest point of land.
Ibis point fairly settled upon, lie
immediately began to cast a web
for iL lie threw it cs far ns pos
sible in the air and with the wind.
It soon reached the *bore mid
made fast to the spire* of grots.
Then he turned himself about, and
in true sailor fashion began to haul
in hand over hand on hi* cable.
Carefully be drow upon it nntil
his bark began to move toward
tbe shore. As it moved faster he
tbe faster drew upon it to keep bis
hawser taut and from touching the
water. Very toon'be reached the
shore, and quickly leaping to terra
drain he aped bis way homeward
Thinking then that he might be a
special expert and an exception in
that line of boatsmansbip to the

Where Power Resides in China*
We are often asked where, in tho
great Empire of Chins, power rent*
ly resides, and we believe the best
short statement is this. Subject
to certain immovable custom*, tho
Emperor, in hi* capacity of father’
of tbo people, can in theory give
any order, and can in practice
punish with dccapitatioo or exile
any rffic ; ul or person who disobeys
iL He is, in all rerious affair*,
however, obliged to consult,
though not to obey, a rather large
group of princes of his dynasty and
great mandat ini, wbo divide the
departments and tbo great vice
roy altie* amo' g tbonuelvM. The
dynasty, however, being foreign,
is obliged to respect tbe ftrmy to
some extent; while this army {*,
for financial reasons, so limited in
number that it is difficult to garri
son tbe empire, and impossible to
hold it down for an hour. It i* the
tradition of the court, therefore,
never seriouniy tooffmd either the
