Tls Better to Laugh.
ThO Mtnniert (kies are the fairest,
> The happieet hours are the best,
Of all of life's blessings the rarest
’’ Are pictures of pleasure and rest.
Though Fate is cur wishes denying,
Let each bear his part like a man,
Nor darken the world with our sighing—
* ’Tis better to lsugh when we can.
Each heart has its burden of sorrow,
Each soul bos its shadows profound;
’Tis sunshine we re yearning to borrow
From those who may gather around.
Then let us wear faces of pleasure
The world will be happy to scan.
A scowl is to no one a treasure—
( ’Tis better to laugh when we can.

HIS NEIGHBOR’S BEES.
! BV AMY HAKDOLPH.
It was a still, frosty evening in Octo¬
ber, with the moon just old enough to
cast a ruddy light on tho leaf-carpeted
path, and the ancient stone wall, all
broidered over with lichens and moss.
Tho air was instinct with sweet aro¬
matic scents, an l one red light burned
like a beacon star in the cottage window
on the hill.
“Look 1’ said Fleda Fenwick.
“Mamma has lighted the lamp! It’s
high time we were home.”
“And you haven’t said yes! ’ mourn¬
fully uttered J ick Trevelyn.
“Ami I don’t mean to say ye.l”
Jack seated himself on the stone wall.
just whore tho bars bail been taken
down. Ho was a linn Isome, sunburned
fellow, with sparkling black eye* and
a rich, dark complexion, as if, in his
far back ancestry, there had been some
olive-browcu Spaniard. Fleda leaned
against tho bars, tho moon turning her
fair hair to gold and lingering like blue
sparks in tho deeps of her laughing
eyes. If ever opposites existed in
nature, they existed there, nnd then.
* I vc a great mind to gt away to
sen,” said Jack, slowly nnd vengefully.
“Do,” saucily rctortel F.eda.
“Aud never come back again! ’
* Oh, Jack I ’
“1 ho idea," lie cried, raising both
bauds n* if to invoke the fair moon her
self l y way of audience, “of a gill re¬
fusing to bo marr ed simply because she
hasn’t got ». mo particular sort of n
wedding gown to stand up in.”
“If I can’t be marred liko other
girls, 1 won’t be married at all,” de¬
clared Fled', compressing her rosy
lips.
* 'Tho idea of keeping a man waiting
for that 1’ groaned Jack.
'‘It won’t be long,” coaxed Fleda.
“But., look here, Fit da, why can’t
we go quietly to church and be mar¬
ried, any day, and get the gown after¬
wards?” pleaded Jack.
“But, Jack, it wouldn’t be the saini
thing at all. A girl gets married but
onco in hir life, an 1 she wants to look
decent then.”
“My owu darling you would look an
angel in anything! ’
“Now, qu t that., Jack!” laughed
Fleda. “It’s what my school children
call ‘taffy. » n
“I hate your school childron,” said
Jack, venomously, “I hate your
school. I despise the trustees, and 1
should like to see the building burn
down. Then you would have to ccim
to me.”
“No, I shouldn’t,” averred Fleda.
“I should lake in millinery and dress
makiug until I lml earned enough for
the white silk dress. I never would —
Oh, Jack! Who’s that?”
“A trump? I’ll soon settle him with
my blackthorn! cried Trevelyn,spring¬
ing up.
“No, don’t.,’ whispered Floxla,
shrinking close to him; “it’s Air.
M ngden. lie’s on his own premises;
these woods belong to him. It's wc
that are trespassers. Wait! Stand
still until he has gor.c by. Ha’s very
near-sighted, and he will never see
us.”
“And who,” breathed Jack, as a
stout, elderly person trotted slowly
across tho patch of moonlight, nnd van
idled behind the stiff laurel hedge, ‘.s
Mr. Mingden?”
‘ Don’t you know? Our neighbor.
The new gentleman who hat bought
bmoke 11 ill.”
“The old cove who is always quar¬
reling with you?”
“Ye;—’.he very man who hates bees
•o intolerably, and wants mamma to
take away alt those lovely hives, down
by the sooth fence. He says he can’t
take his constitut on in p ace, because
bo’s always afraid of being stung.”
‘ *'W hy don t he take it stmewhere
else, then?”
“Teat's the very question,” said
F.eda,
“M ngden, eh? I believe he mu-t be
Harry Mingden’s uncle—it’s not such a
very common name,’ said Jack, refkc
tively. “And Harry’s my college chum
—and I’m going to ask him to be my
best man at the wedding. ”
*0.i, Jack! I hope he isn’t as disa
grccable as his uncle!” crie i E fl.da.
“He e a trump!”
“Be-idea, 1 don’t believe his uncle
mill let him come!” added the girl.
“Not let him come? Why shouldn’t
he?”
“Because ho hates us so on account
of the iDe*.”
“But, I any, Fleda!” cried the young
man, “this complicates matters! 1
* promised to go and sei Harry Mingden
when 1 was down here.”
‘ Go and »eo him, then; but don’t
mention the name of Fenwick, for your
life.’
“Indeed I ihalL Isn’t it the came

of all others ia which I take the most I
pride 1”
“Ob, Jack, you will only make more I
troublel It’ll bo worse than the bei». i
Promise me, Jack, or I’ll never, never j
speak to you again.’'
And Jack had to promise, after some
unwilling fashion.
Mr«, Fenwick, a pretty, faded little
widow was full charged with indigna
ti' n when Fleda returned from her
stroll in the woods.
1 Mamma, what is the matter?’’ Bail
Fled a.
* One of the hives was t-tipped over
tonight,” sobbed Mrs. Fenwick; “and
I’m sure he did it.”
“It was the wind, mamma.”
“No wind ever did that, Fleda.
But I set it up again. I will never,
never sacrifice my apiary to his absurd
prejudices.”
“Dear mamma, if you would only
have the hives moved to the other side
of tho garden! ’ pleaded Fieda, caress
ing'y.
“And sacrifice a question of princi¬
ple! Never!’ rcp'icd the widow.
Mrs. Fenwick, ordinarily the most
amiable of women, was roused on this
subject to an obstinacy which could
only be character zsd as vindictive.
And Mr. Ezra M ngden was ten times
as bad as his neighbor.
“That woman is a dragoncss, Ila
lie said to his nephew, “She keeps
those bees simply to annoy me. I hate
bees. Bees hate me. Every time I
walk there I get stung.”
“But, uncle, you shouldn’t brandish
your canc about so,” reasoned Harry.
“It’s sure to enrage 'em. ”
“I don’t brandish it on tho woman’s
side of the fence. If her abominable
buzzing injects persist in trespassing in
my garden, am I not bound to protect
myself?’’ sputtere l Mr. Mingden.
“Can’t you walk somewhe o else?”
“Can’t she put her bees somowhere
else?”
“But, uuc’.o, all this seems such
trivial affair.”
“Trivial, indeed! If you’d been
stung on your nose an l your car and
your eyelids and everywhere else, would
you call it trivial? I never cat honey,
and I’ve always considered bees to be
an absurdly overrate l sec ion of ento¬
mology. What business have her bees
to bo devouring all my flowers? How
would she liko it herself? ’
II irry Mingden smiled to see the de¬
gree of fury to which tho old gentleman
wns gradually working himsel f up. He
was already in Jack Trevolyn’a confi¬
dence, and thus, to a certain extent,
enjoyed the unusual opportunity of see¬
ing both sides of the question.
“L >ok here, sir,” said he, “why
don’t you set up a colony of bee-hives,
yourself? If her bees rifle your flow
ers, let yours go foraging into her gar¬
den. Lit her see, as you suggest, how
she would like it herself. Put a row
of hives as close to your side of the
fence, as you can get it. If they fight,
let ’em fight. Bees are an uncommon¬
ly war-like race, I’m told; if they agree
what is to prevent ’em bringing half
the honey into your hives?”
“By Jove,” said Mr. Mingden, start¬
ing to his feet, “1 never thought of
that. I’ll do it! I wonder where the
deuce they sell bees! There isn’t a
moment to be lost.”
“1 think I know of a place where I
could buy half a dozen hives,” said
Harryt
“The gentleman wants to buy some
bees,” said Fleda. “D.ar mamma, do
sell yours; we can easily get all the
honey we want—’’
“But I’ve kept bees all my life,”
said Mrs. Fenwick, piteously.
“Yes, but they're such a care,
mamma, now- that you are no longer
young, and you are hardly able to look
after them in swarming time, and—
(she dared not allude to the trouble
they were making in neighborly rela¬
tions, 1 ut glided swiftly on to the next
vantage point) — “it svi 1 be just exactly
the money I want t> finish the sum for
mv wed l ng dress. ”
.Mrs. Fenwick's face softened; she
ki c se 1 Fieda’s carmine cheek, with a
I deep*:,-h
‘ For your sake, then, darling,” said
she. “But I wouldn’t for the world
have Mr. Mingden think that I would
concede a single inch to—’
“1 don’t know that it is any of Mr.
M ngden’s bu-uaejs,’’ said Fleda,
quietly.

idea, that of his. I wonder what the
old lady will say when she sees the op

Ha, ha, ha! ’
He adjusted bis spectacles as he
hastened down towards the sunny south
walk whic i had heretofore been the
j bkttle-ground. There was the row of
' white hives his side of the
square, on
fence—but lo! and behold! the bench
that had extended on the other side
was vacant and deserted!
“Why!” he exclaimed, coming to an
abrupt standstill. “What has she done
with her lees?”
“Sold ’em all to you, sir,” said
Jacob, the gardener. “And a line lot
they be! And not an unreasonable
price neither! Mr. Harry looked arter
that hisself.”
‘T hope you’ll be very kind to them
sir!” uttered a soft, pleading little
voice, and W Fenwicc’s golden
j i-i Kive the Dickets of
the fence, “And I newer knew tratL
j ist now that it was you who boaghA
them.’’
“Humph! ’ said Mr. Mingden.
“But, I hope, alter this,” kindly
added Fieda, “that we shall newer have
any more trouble—as neighbors, I
mean. It has made me very unhappy,
and —”
Tho blue eyes, the faltering voice,
melted the old gentleman at last.
“Tben don’t let it make you unhappy
any longer, my dear!” said he, reaching
over the pickets to shake hands with
the pretty special pleader. “Hang the
bees! After all, what difference does
it make which side of the fence they’re
on? So you’re the little school teacher,
are you? I’m blessed if I don’t wish I
was young enough to go to school to
you myself!”
F.eda ran back to the house in secret
glee.
“I do beiieve,” she thought, “tho
Montague and Capulet feui is healed
attest! And Ido believe’ (knitting
her blond brows), “that Jack told
young Mingden all about the bees, and
that that is the solution of this mys¬
tery !’’
But that evening there came a pres¬
ent of white grapes from the Mingden
greenhousei to Mrs. Fenwick, with the
old gentleman’s card.
‘ 'He must have been very much
pleased to get tho bees,” thought the
old lady. “if I had only known he
liked lees, 1 should have thought very
differently of him. All this shows how
slow wo should be to believe servants’
gossip and neighborhood tattle! If 1
had known ho was the pure aser, I
should have declined to negotiate; but
perhaps everything has happened for
the best!”
Jack Trevelyn thought so, when he
stood up in the village church, a fort¬
night from that time leside a fair vision
in glittering white silk, and a vail that
was like crystalized frost-work. And
the strangest part of all was that old
Mr. Mingden was there to give the
bride away !
“I tako all the credit to myself,”
mischievously whispered Harry M ng
don, the “best man. ” “But I’m afra.d
it is easier to set machinery in motion
than to stop it afterwards! And it’s
just possible that I may have an aunt
in-law yet.”
“S ranger things have happened,”
sad the bridegroom .'—The Ledger.
Fight Between Whales.
Tho canal schooner II. G Ely of
Philadelphia George Moore of Delaware
master, arrived recently with a cargo
of lumber from North Carolina. Mate
John Bennot reported that when in
Chesapeake Bay, two whales were seen
first on the port bow, distant about a
quarter of a mile, lashing the water
into foam. As the vessel drew nearer
it was seen that one was about thirty
feet in length, tile other a little larger,
and that they were engage! ia deadly
combat The whales would rush, at
each other, sometime stri.cing with
their huge, square heads, but oftener
dodging the blows, and the sma ler
seemed to have the best of it. They
sounded often and as often as they
came to the surface they threw the
water fifteen or twenty feet into the air
from their blow-holes. When they
came together the blows sounded like
the fall of a pile driver, only not so
clear, and the thrashing of their tails
threw the water half masthead high.
The crew rf t'.ie Ely watched the com¬
bat for nearly ha f an hour, during
which the larger Avhale was steadily
driven o ward the shore.
Flowers and the Children.
There arc but few children who are
not attracted by the beauty and sweet¬
ness of flowers. We have often watch¬
ed with great interest the seemingly
natural tendency of young children to
admire flowers. Frequently we have
seen them gazirig with rapture upon the
picture of a flower, and smelling it
with apparent disappointment that it
yielded no perfume. The chil l appears
to instinctively know that a fl>ver is
delica’e, innocent and pretty; and it
may be laid down as a general rule that
a boy that i> brought up among flowers
will develop into a better man than one
who is a stranger to flowers.
If we could have our way, we would
adorn with flowers the homes from
which come our criminal classes. They
would not banish cr.me from the com¬
munity, but they would greatly lessen
it. Flowers make people gentler, softer
and better, and the father and mothei
who do not neglect to provide this holy
influence for their children are doi ig
them a service that perhaps the eterni¬
ties alone will tell the value of.—

Among the curious things offered at
a recent auction sale in Norwich, Conn.,
was a queer open-and-shut pulpit, which
a century and a half ago was used by
Rev. Amos Reed, a pioneer Baptist
clergyman, in his ministrations through¬
out eastern Connecticut. It shuts up
in compact shape, and. the parson
strapped it on h.s horse’s back as he
traveled from place to place on his wide

WATERY VILLAGER
The Strange Homes of the
nii Bololo rr. Tribes • i in . Africa. . . .
Building Houses on Piles in
Swamps to Avoid Enemies.
From a commercial point of view,the
richest affluent of the Congo, the great
East African river, is tho Lulungu,
whose mouth is situated a few miles
above the Ruki. The Lu ungu *
formed by the confluence of two rivers,
the Maiinga and Lopori, which, uniting
at the populous village of Massaukuso,
henceforth form a stream a mile in
width, and probably one hundred and
fifty miles ia length, until its waters
ate swallowed up in those of the
mighty Congo. This lower stretch of
river is inhabited by Rankundu ivory
and slave traders; the upper reaches, as
far as the swamps around the head¬
waters of the Maiinga and Lopori, by
the Balolo proper, and rude tribes of
elephant hunters, who store their ivory
until the periolical visits of the down¬
river traders, when they exchange it
for beads, cowries and brass ornaments.
These Bololo tribes aro an oppressed
and persecuted people.
Timid an inoffensive, they fa’l an
easy prjy to tho overwhelming numbers
of the powerful inland tribes of the
Lufembe and Ngombe, who are contin¬
ually making raids upon them, cap ur¬
ic* them and selling them into slavery,
and eating those who are less suitable
for tho slave market.
The Lulungu and its two great feed¬
ers, particularly the Maiinga, flaw
through a swampy country, the greater
part of tho land during the rainy season
being under water.
So swampy is it, that all the native
villages on the upper reaches of that
river are built on piles standing in
water from two to four feet in depth.
It is a strange sight, when the water is
high, to see all these houses, dotted
about on the river, looking Like float¬
ing boxes, and comical to observe a
native fishing from his tiny veranda or
wuen ho wishes t o pay a visit to a
friend across the wav, or journey to
another part of the villag; to see him
step into his canoe from off his door¬
step, and paddle about the streets of
swiftly running wmter.
Ivory is hidden for safety in the
water under their houses, or at some
point of the forest known only to the
owner, where the long tree-trunks
stand up out of the brown, dark-shad¬
owed flood of the swollen river, and,
should he wish to sell it, he must dive
down and fe cth it up.
The effect s>en from the river of one
of these villagfss is very striking. Large
trees are fel.ed all about, so as to ren¬
der the progress of an approaching
canoe difficult. These wretched houses,
without -walls, and with a fire made on
a fiat lump of clay, or a platform formed
by cross-sticks, form indeed wretched
habitations for human beings. You
wiil see on some prominent position a
large war-drum, so that in case of an
attack, or any danger arising, the sur¬
round,ng villages may be signaled, and
timely warning given.
The natives liv.ng in these watery
settlements say that inland they can
find strips and patches of dry land, but
that if they live there the slave-raiders
find cut their whereabouts, and are con¬
tinually persecuting them, so that,
thoug.i it is inconvenient and wretched
liv.ng in houses on piles, they naturally
prefer it to the danger of slavery and
death. However, they are not free
from molestation even ua ler these cir¬
cumstances, as the slave-raiders from
the lower reaches of the river form
large expeditions, sometimes of 200
an i 3 JO canoewell-armed, and go up
and kid, catch and take them into
slavery. — The L J<j r.
Novelties in Paper.
J« iiroad car wheels made of paper
are more durab e than iron.
When strong fibre is used paper can
be male into a substance so hard that it
can scarce y be scratched.
Stack walnut picture frames are made
of paper and so colored that no one can
tell them from the original wood.
An Italian monk has succeeded in
constructing an organ where the pipes
are made of paper pulp. It has 1400
pipc3 of various sizes.
The latest idea is to use paper instead
of wood for lead pencils, by using a
patent preparation by which it can be
cut as easily as the softest wood.
The ceiling of the as-embiy chamber
at Albany, N. Y., is made of papier
macbe. It is a model of its kind and
appears so l.ke marble as to deceive the
most expert eye.
Cracks in floors around the skirting
beard or other parts of a room may he
neatly filled by thoroughly soaking
newspaper in paste made as thick as
putty and forced into the cracks with a
paste knife. It wiil soon harden and
can be painted.
A store in Atlanta, Gx, has boon '

and can be easily painted and polished.
It has all the good qualities but none
of the defects of wood. The paste¬
board can be used for door and window

Persistence Won Her.
Information through private sources
has just been received iu this city of the
death of Silas M. Wilson, who died in
New York last week. He was born in
Philadelphia forty-five years ago, and
was crippled in his legs at his birth.
Besides, both hiS hands and arms woro
twisted out of shape, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that he was ablo
to speak. He met his wife, who was a
Miss Tueresa Mirgan, of this city, in
Rochester, N. Y ., in 1873. S ic had
been sent out of New Orleans by
General Butler in 1862, and at the time
of her marriage to Wilson was teaching
young ladies how to make wax flowers.
She is said by those who w T ere well ac¬
quainted with her here to have been
quite pretty, very intelligent and at¬
tractive.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson met in the
Central depot at Rochester in 1873.
He was on one of his jaunts through
the country peddling soap. Miss Mor¬
gan, in common wi‘h other ladies, pit
tied the plight of Wilson. When Miss
Morgan went to the hotel she found
Wilson there. Ho was a general favor¬
ite with all. The landlady fed him, he
being utterly powerless to put his owu
fool to his mouth. Miss Morgan be¬
came interested in him, used to feed
aud generally became of great assist—
anee to him in his helpin' cond.tion.
He proposed marriage to her one day.
Miss Morgan felt so much hurt and hu_
initiated by tho proposal that she
packed up and left the house at once,
going to Erie. She was, however, no
sooner safely ensconsed there than Wil¬
son came crawling up to the door, and
would not leave the premises until the
young lady consented to be “his for
life,” which she did, as previously
stated. When ho died Wilson was
worth considerable money .—New Or¬

Store Names in Mexico.
One of the oldest th.ngs here, says a
City of M-'Xico letter, is the naming of
the stores aud shop?, where upon the
signs, instead of the name of the pro¬
prietor, appears some elaborate appella¬
tion that often causes one a smile from
its incongruity with the goods on sale.
For instance, “The Electric Light” is a
pulque shop, the “Queen of the
Wdr.d” is a bread shop, the “Palace of
the World” is a boot store, the “White
Venus” is a butcher’s shop, and so they
go. Several of the grocery stores are
called by the names of the great cities
of the world, which is very appropriate,
for it is from them we obtain all lux¬
uries for the table. Instead of being
directed to the firm of So-and-So, one
is told that certain goods can be had at
the “City of New-York, ” the “City of
Hamburg,” etc. The shadow of the
E.ffel Tower has reached and fallen
upon the city of Mexico. A gorgeous
new sign, all white, blue, and gold,
bears the tall name and a flag-decorated
representation of the same, “The E ffei
Tower,” and within the store one finds
most delicious French confectionery.
A Point About JJrooins.
Says a broom earn dealer: ‘ ‘A few
years ago, all broom corn was so
bleached with sulphur fume; as to make
it so white that it near!/ destroyed its
pliability, and it sometimes broke to
pieces much more rapidJy than it should
have done. Now the broommaicers
have gone to the other extreme. They
dye their broom corn so green that
housekeepers are afraid to break off one
of the splints to tc3t a cake with, for
fear they may be poisoned with Paris
green.’ ’
“Why do they do so?” he was asked.
“Well,” said he, “i don’t know ex
actly, but I suppose styles must change.
Then, again, the housekeepers may
have fxund out that the white brooms
didn’t wear so we l, and caused a de
mand for green ones.”
“But are they really dyed with Paris
green?”
“1 can’t sav as to that. It doesn’t
look like it to me, but I d rather bs on.
the s.fi side and not eat any of it.”
