Health, freedom, innocence and downy peace—

But patience is the virtue of an ass
That trots beneath his burden and is quiet.
—Lord Lansdowne
How can an ass’ patience, virtue be,
When he is made so by necessty ?

And spare his hide the loug accustomed goad,
He’ll prove to yon and to the poet too,
His virtues “far between and very few.”

Of sober mein and quiet mind ;

In angry mood, with furious blast,
Just felied the good man to the ground,
Aud soon the spicy juice flew round.

Chickens 1' hat Would not
Siwim.
The toughest story of the season
comes from Suihvan, Me. Sometime
ago a hen was set upon ducks’ eggs,
and in due time the ducks were out and
on their way to the nearest water. Bid
dy was much alarmed at the apparent
folly of her brood. But after a few
days she lost all fear, and each morn
ing led them to the water and patiently
waited till they were done bathing.
After a few weeks the ducks were able
to take care of themselves and the hen
was set upon eggs of her own kind.
When the chickens were hatched she
had not forgotten what appeared to be
material duty. She led her flock to
the water, but to her surprise not one
entered. After sometime spent in
talking to them in hen language, trying
to convince them that it was their du
ty to go into the water, she became
exasperated at what looked like diso
bedience on the part of her children,
seized them one by one, and drew them
in, drowniDg the whole flock.
The new comet has made its appear

of June it is expected to give us a
grand . spectacle of size and brilliancy.
Within a radius of eight miles in
one locality in Florida there are 2,922
orange groves containing 165,235 trees,
which produce 2,500.000 oranges year
ly, although only 5 per Cent, of the
trees are bearing. In the entire State
it is estimated 50,000,000 oranges are
produced yearly.
The Princess Louise arrive at Quebec
on the steamer Surmatian, and was re

affection by the Canadian subjects of
her royal mother. Guns were fired,
flags displayed and troops paraded.
She expressed great pleasure at the
hearty rdbeption accorded her and at
her return once more to Canada.
A tree that was eight hundred feet
long, ninety six in circumference at the
base, and sound to the very heart was
felied in California recently. Five men
were employed twenty-two days in do
ing the work. After it had been sever
ed by auger holes, it still stood un-
m ived, and required block and pulleys
and tackling to bring its proud head to
the earth;
The 30ih of May was observed
throughout the North and West as Dec

graves of the 3 000 Confederate pris
oners who died at Camp Douglass, were

Louistanna is owned by a gambler,
the propiietnr of the Louisianna lot
tery. The- concern was chartered in
1879. and it pays 840 000 to the city of
New Orleans for charity, and is rich
enough, after hiring Generals Beaure
gard and Eearlv to give it tone as
superintendents, to pay persons in
power and doteat every attempt in the
Legislature and courts to kill it, and
nets its owner about 875.000 per year.
It is estimated that Senator Hill’s
expenses since he nas been under treat
ment for cancer have been about one
thousand dollars per month. Mi. Hill
is not possessed of wealth, and this
heavy drain upon his resources would
doubtless, have greatly inconvenienced
him but for the timely payment of a
fee, long due, for several thousand dol
lars. One operation alone cost fifteen
hundred dollars Surely, misfortunes
have come heavily upon this noble and
distinguished man.

How Fortunes Are Made.
Some people hardly relize how many
men have become enormously wealthy
from some simple invention which per
haps took shape in the brain during an
idle moment. A few years ago a Nevada
man invented a card table, which by touch
of the foot to a spring, wuuld cause the
table to flop over, and in a second tte
cards are supplanted by a large family
Bible, laying open before the man whose
turn is to deal. Thus a quartette of
players on Sunday can, if surprised, resolve
them selves iuto a gathering of pious in
vestigators of the Word and sit as if listen
ing to the pearls of religious consolation
which drop? from the lips of the reader
(dealer.) It is a thing that no Christian
family can do without, and the demand
in large cities already exceeds the supply.
Brooklyn takes 5.000 a year, and wants
more. Only a few years ago a man con
ceived the idea of making paste diamonds
for actresses. He sells a neclace of dia
monds, with errings, etc., invoiced at 850,
000. for—810 cash down and the balance
in installments. For 810 a month he sends
a man along to steal the diamonds from
the large hotels. The manager fe ds and
transports the diamond thief and gives him
a suit sf clothes a year. This plan takes
immensely and results in about 810,000
worth of free advertising. In 1876 a poor
shoemaker in the State of New Jersey in
vented a shoe blacking which would eat
leather and cause boots to go into a swift
decline The bootmaker farm-shed the
blacking free to hotels and barber sheps
and the boot trade is thereby made a pay
ing business. Thus are American indust
ries encouraged.
A Useful Boy.
Not long since a smart seven-year old
son of a preacher, after services were over
and the family had returned home, said :
“Papa, do you ever look at me while you
are preaching?”
'I he father, thinking he was a little hurt
by supposed neglect, said :
“Certainly, my son, I often look at yon
and think of yon when I am preaching.
“But to-day did yon notice me at all ?”
“Yes, I did, several times,” said the fa
ther.
“Well, papa, did yon see me wink at
you two or three times?”
“No. my son. What did yon wink at
me for when I was preaching?”
“I winked at yon, papa to get yon to
stop ; yon were spinning it too long.”
The Queen of Mad&gasca in a recent
proclamation forbidding her subjects either
to sell or drink rusn says : “I cannot take
a revenue from anything that will debase
and degrade my people. And this woman
is called a pagan.
Country and Town.
The following is taken from an exchange
and by it is Said to be an “extract from Maj.
Sykes Fayetteville speech. We do not know
who Major Sykes is, nor in what state he
made his Feyetteville sdeecb; but there
is good sound sense in his speech, and we
commend it to our readers. Here is the
extract.
I am aware that some men attempt to
create a prejudice against the town peo
ple in the minds ot the farmers and other
citizens of the country. Is not this a
very narrow and contracted policy, and
does it not indicate a shallow mind? How
are the interest of the town and country-
antagonistic? When the .country prospers
when its crops are good and its produc
tion increases the town is benefitted.
When the town prospers, when its trade
and business increase it is able to pay
the farmer more for his products and to
sell him what he has to bay at cheaper
rates. Again as the town grows in wealth
and taxable property it pays a greater
proportion of the taxes of the country
which go to build bridges or make other
improvements in various portions of the
country. In addition, the town pays for
its ywn streets and other improvements
which the country people enjoy in common
with the citiczeus of the town. As the
town grows and increases in. population
and wealth, the value of land in the country
increases. Their interests are indentical
they are Siamese twins in this respect;
you cannot senarete the one from the
other.' Opposition between th° country
and town is uunatural and as unwise a
antagonism between a man and his wife
which unfortunately sometimes occurs.
The man who would attempt to get up
this feeliug is the frieLd of either aud the
enemy of both. It is a small order of
demagogism which sensble men both in
the country and in town should look upon
with loathing and disgust. It injures all
and benefits no one. It is the 8tttgC0Wth
or ignorance or of something worse. Lurg&-
ft'ities have tW.i-a-iJu but they generally
affect their ewn citizens tmirb'ji,ui others,
and I am now not speaking of large cities
but of our own country towns which are
not iu much danger ot becoming cities
of much magnitude. The country has
its advantages and its uses. One should
not claim and does not possess preference
over the other but as their interests are
indentical there should be the utmost
harmony and good feeling between them,
free from small prejudices aud little bick
erings.”
lVliat all Ciii-lsShould Learn.
By all means let the girls learn how to
cook. What right has a girl to go into a
house of her own unless she know? how to
superintend every branch of housekeeping,
and she cannot properly superintend un
less she has some practical knowledge her
self. Most men marry without thinking
whether the woman of his choice is capa
ble of coo ,-ing him a meal, and it is a pity
he is so short-sighted, as his health, his
cheerfulness, aud indeed dis success in life,
depend in a very great degree upon the
kind of food he eats ; in fact, the whole
household is influenced by their diet.
Feed them on fried cakes, fried meat, hot
bread and other indigestible viands, day
ofter day, and they will need medicine to
make them well. A man will take alcho-
hol to counteract the evil- effects of such
food, and the wife and children must be
physiued.
Let all the girls have a share in the
housekeeping at home before they marry.
Let each superintend some department by
turns. It need not occupy half the time
to see the house properly swept, dusted or
put in order, or to prepare paddings and
made dishes, that many ladies spend in
reading novels that enervate both mind
and body, and unfit them for every day
life. Women do not, as a general rule, get
pale-faced by doing housework. Their
sedentary habits, in overheated rooms,
combined witn ill-chosen food, are to
blame for bad health. Our mothers used
to pride themselves on their housekeeping,
aud fine needlework. Why shonld not
we ?—Baltimoore San.
The airy, busy, buzzing honse-fly is vety
“fly” this season. The weather has been
so uncongenial ontside that he has forced
his presence upon ns before the screens
were in good working order. He appears
to have his usual free and easy, compan
ionable habits with bira this year, roosts
on the edge of the saga? bowl makes a
seating park of the gilt edge bntter, and
ot^wise disports himself with his old
time nonchalance. In fact we couldn’t
realize that it was summer only for the
pievaleDt fly.
A Louisville editor, remarks the Nor
ristown Herald, says Chicago has more
soloons than lamp posts. But on this
question a Lonisville editor’s word is very
unreliable. When he visits Chicago the
first thing he does is to take a census of
the saloons, and after iesting the quality
of three thousand bars, of coarse he can’t
count all the lamp posts. About one is as
many as he can get aronnd without the
assistance of a policeman.

An english editor headed a long article
‘Our mammoth fleet.’ The compositor left

Heaven that he did not write it ‘Her Maj

A lover and his girl went into a Spring-
field, drug store the other day to get some
“soda.” One ordered “bovine,” the other

which were hung near the fountain, were
the names of some new syrups.
Several aged Mexican women were
kneeling on the bare floor of a church
moauing in prayer. “Well,” said a looker-

that is what they are trying to do,” wa3
the quiet reply ot his companion.
‘Yiolet, dearest, do you play that tune

The Gothic style of handwriting, now
so popular among young ladies may have
its advantages. It is said that a young
man who recently received a specimine of
it could not tell for the life of him, wheth

“Pa, am I a little sinner?” “Yes, my

“Then, papa,’are you the devil?” His

A countryman took his watch to a

A Whistle to he Heard Fifty
Rllles.
The largest, whistle ever made has been
constructed in Bridgeport, Conn. It was
exhibited yesterday at the ojflce of the',
makers, the V^ton. G>Jie & Burnham Co/
at 68 John street. It it a brass whistle/
and has a diameter of 20 inches. The
bell is 27 inches long, while the whole'
whistle is four feet and nine inches in'
length and weighs 400 ponnds This mon-'
strous tooter, which looked, as it lay in
repose in its huge packing box, more like
the cylinder of a steam engine than ai
whistle, will require a boiler of 140 horse
power having a pressure of 160 pounde
of steam, to blow it. When it is once
started its mellow notes may not be entire-’
ly linked with sweetness but
what sweetness there is will be’
long drawn out—to a distance of fifty
miles, in fact.—This' thing Of brass which
wifi blow so long ahd loud, the makers
assure the public of New York and vicinity
will not be placed over the John street
office to call their men to work iu th«T
factory at Bridgeport. Nervous people
here abonts, they say may therefore bef
calm and confine their attention to abol
ishing clinrch bells, whose sound is a mere
tinkling compared to the blast of their
trump of doom, as it will ho doubt seen!
to be to many a lucklhss Weight in the'
Canadian piueries, wither it is going For
Canada—a large part of it at least—is it/
bear the steetorian tones of this brazen
throated monster several times a day/
It will sonnd from the roof of a saw mirf
and will wake the echoes of four counties/
terrify women and children, aDd clearing
the region of wolves, bears and catamounts.'

•A
Attachments to Newspaper*.'
Some one who seems to know about the
relation of a good newspaper to the fiunil/
writes as follows:
The strong attachment of subscribers ttf
well conducted newspapers is fully confin
ed by publishers. “Stop my paper,” words!
of dread to beginners in business, lose'
their terror after a paper has been estab-'
lished for a term of years. So long as d
paper pursues a just, honorable, and judP
cious course, meeting the wants of its cus
tomers in all respects, the ties of friendship
between the subscribers and the paper#
are as hard to break by an outside party
as the link which binds ol 1 friends in busi
Dess or social life. Occasional defects sod
errors in a newspaper are overlooked by’
those who have become attached to it/
through its perusal, for years. They some-’
times become dissatisfied with it on ae-'
count of something which has slipped intaf
its columns and may stop taking it; but
the familiar sheet at their homes and office#
for a few weeks becomes an insnpportabl#
privation, aDd hasten to take it again, sodf
possibly apologize for having it stopped.*
No friend on earth is more constant thatf
that contracted by the reader for a journal
which makes an honest and earnest effort
to merrit its continued support. Hence,*
a conscientiously cendncted paper becOttt#
a favorite in the family.-
