The good are better made by ill, As odors crushed are sweeter still. —Rogers And love suppressed yields not to will, But proves its strength by stronger thrill. Mirth. Thou sweet musician, that aronnd my bed, Dost nightly come and wind tliv little born, By what unseen aud secret influence led, Fecd’bt thou mine ear with music till tho morn? —Ed, Lanford. Thon stinging, singing demon near my bed, Nightly I long to smash thy tuneful horn ; Could I but pat tby wondrous little head, Thou would'st not torture mo until the morn. Mirth. O, blissful poverty! Nature, too partial to thy lot, assigns Health, freedom, innocence and downy peace— Her real goods! and only mock the great With empty pageantries. • —Fenton. O, lavish Nature 1 Since thou, to poverty, hast partial been— Assigned her all tliv real goods aud peace, Exchange for me a few, for new bank Dills, And I'll contented be. Mirth. 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 ? I'll warrant, if you’ll take from him his load, 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.” Mirth. Aromatic plants bestow No spicy fragrance while they grow; But, crushed or trodden to the ground, Diffuse their balmy sweets aronnd. —Goldsmith. I knew a man of manner kind, Of sober mein and quiet mind ; Who uttered not an unkind word, Nor would he harm a litte bird; But once a toper, reeling past, In angry mood, with furious blast, Just felied the good man to the ground, Aud soon the spicy juice flew round. Mirth. furious Superstitions. To rock the cradle, wb/m empty is in jurious t.o.Oiitf child. To cat while a bell is tolling lor a funeral causes toothache. [Je who has teeth wide asunder must seek his fortune in some distant land. If a child less than twelve months old be brought into a celler he becomes fearful. A child grows proud if suffered to look into a mirror while less than twelve months old. • lie who proposes moving into a new house must send in before hand bread and a new broom. Whoever sneezes at an early hour either hears seme news or receives some present the same day. The first tooth cast by a child should be swallowed by the mother, to insure a new growth of teeth. Buttoning the coat awry, or drawing on stockings inside out, causes matters to go wrong during the day. By bending the head to the hollow of the arm, the initial letter of the came cf one’s future spouse is repre sented. When women are stuffing beds the men should not remain in the house, otherwise the feathers will come through the ticks. W hen a stranger enters a room he should be obliged to seat himself, if only for a moment, as he otherwise takes away the children’s sleep with hiui. A dog scratching on the floor or howling in a particular manner, and owls booting in the neighborhood of the house indicate an approaching death. fr'Ko.n out i:\ciu.\ges. Blaine declines to run for congress. He is afraid of the combination in Maine. A compiled statement of the cotton acreage of the United States shows a material decrease as compared with that of last year. Mrs. O. B. Hart, in a letter to the Jacksonville Times, claims that her late husband, Ossian B. Hart, was the first native Governor of Florida. Sarah Bernhardt's husbaud proposes to return to Paris and personally chas tise whoever may have spoken slight ingly of his spouse. That’s a big job for one man. If Col. Thornton proposes to whip all of the Georgians who have poked fuu at him, it will be well for the managers to hold the July convention in a bomb proof. Mr. Win. H. Vanderbilt recently gave bis check for 81,U00 to pay off the debt of Grace Church, Lexington, Va., which was erected in memory of Gen. Robert E. Lee. It is said that a bond plate has been stolen from the treasury department at Washington, and that S22,000,000 in ootids have been illegally issued by the use of it. The exports from New York last week were somewhat larger than of late, amounting to £0,504,682, compared with 86,617,107 for the corresponding week last year. . * _ - Alexander III., has kindly presented the German emperor with the horses wnich were drawing the carriage of his father, the Czar, when he was assas sinated. Kaiser William must be very grateful for the gift. 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 ance to the naked eye, and may be seen about 10 p. m. almost exactly under the north star. About the latter part 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 ceived with every mark of loyalty and 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 oration Day. At Baltimore Wilson Post of the Grand Aarmy of the Re public decorated the graves of the Con federate Soldiers buried there. The graves of the 3 000 Confederate pris oners who died at Camp Douglass, were decorated by the Grand Army Posts of Chicago. 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. Religious Aews and .\otes. There are 26.373 Babtist churches in the United States. During their two months’ stay in Edinburgh Moody and Sankey conduct ed one hundred and thirty meetings. The number of Protestant communi cants increased about 14,000 in the city of Burlin during the last year, owing largely to the labors of the city mission arics. The Luthern Theological seminary in Philadelphia, in the eighteen years of its existence, has graduated 183 young men. There are now forty-three students in the seminary. The Congressional ehurches ofMassa c’husetts report 89,962 members. The net gaiu for the year is 424. There are 529 churches, of which 269 have pastors and 164 acting pastors. There has been a large gathing at Swatow, Chinana. of Baptist preachers and women. About thirty applicants for baptism were examined, of whom sixteen were accepted and were bap tized. The churches in New York East Methodist Episcopal conference show a total membership of 32,699; local preachers. 203 ; ehidren baptized 1,474; adults baptized, 1.020 church build ings owned, 286, valued at 83,546.400, and parsonages 153, valued at 8684,500 The conference funds show au increase for the year of 811,259,68. The percentage of increase of the various religious denominations in the pa°t teu years is as follows : Metho- dist t 25 per cent; Presbyterian, 24 ; baptist,24; Catholic, 21; Church of England, 16\. The latter stands fourth j as to members, the Catholic, the Prps-'l byterian and the Mei’isdist 'tburchesj. standing respectively first second and third. Ihe Catholics have 1.791,992 of the population, the Presbyterian church 629.280, the^VIethodist chu.ch 582 965, and the Church of England 574,818. 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. WIT A.M> 1IIMOR Some people think they are sanctified when real'y they are only billious. We shall confidently expect at least a light frost about the Fourth of July. Ab, ha.’ said Mrs. Partington, ‘it takes all sorts of folks to make a world, and I’m glad I’m not one of ’em. Sophronia—‘What is philosophy? It is something that enables a rich man to say there is no disgrace in poverty. .In view of the demand for jeweled gar ters it is thought highly probable bathing suits will be in demand for evening wear. Fashion permits wrmen to wear false hair, but t he poor bald-headed men who need it the most cannot even wear bangs.' “Why am I not like an empty bag, dearest ?" asked a married man. “Give it np. eh ? Because it can stand when its full and I can’t. A dull old lady being told that a certain lawyer was lying at the point of death, ex claimed : “Oh, dear, won’t even death stop that man’s lying 1” A letter mi iled in St Louis thirty-two years ago to a man in Green Bay has just reached its destination. The family were as well as usual when the letter was writ ten. A Wisconsin man bit off the lobe of his wifi’s ear. He says he did it in fun, but it is suspected that he had promised her a set of diamond ear-rings, and knew no other way of getting oat of his dilema. They were talking about beauty the other evening, when Miss remarked: “Well, say what you will, homely people are almost always unusually bright.” Miss Brown (sotto voice): “The egotist!” A Philadelphia youth who is learning to play the cornet cannot understand why people who shoot at cats will be careless. Half a dozen stray bullets have already come through hiswiudow. -^Married—Mr. John Day to Miss Jane Week-” -A- week is lost, bat a day is made- Time should not complain : There soon will he liT*^W' , anough to make the week again.—Ex. The fact that a South Carolina woman broke her neck by looking over her shoul der at another woman’s bonnet will be ex cused by the sex on the ground that it was last year’s bonnet trimmed over. “Yes,” said a fresh arrival from Bodie the other day, “the gal I married up on the lode la3t month is a perfect lady—a per fect lady, sir. I don’t suppose I’ve heard her swear real hard nror’n twice this spring.” An english editor headed a long article ‘Our mammoth fleet.’ The compositor left the V out. But the editor can thank Heaven that he did not write it ‘Her Maj esty’s mammoth fleet.’ There is consola tion always, if one will but seek it. A little girl, on being told that acertaifl picture was painted by Guido, asked: “Wasn't he the man who shot President Garfield?” Guido, however, made pic tures, not presidents. A much less harm ful busiue33. A lover and his girl went into a Spring- field, drug store the other day to get some “soda.” One ordered “bovine,” the other “vaccine,” supposing that these two words, 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- on, “don’t that beat the devil?” “I guess that is what they are trying to do,” wa3 the quiet reply ot his companion. ‘Yiolet, dearest, do you play that tune often?’ asked Hngb Montressoc of hi3 affianced. ‘Yes, pet, and when we are married I'll play it all the time.’ Then Hugh went out and shuddered himself to death. 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 er it was “Yes, with pleasure,” “No,thank you,” or a sketch of a picket-fence. “Pa, am I a little sinner?” “Yes, my son, we are all sinners.” “A«d the Bible says the devil is the father of sinners, doesn’t : t?” Yes dear, I believe it does.” “Then, papa,’are you the devil?” His offspring's logic was too much for him and he slipped out of the room without an swering. “How profoundly still and beautiful is the night,” she whispered, resting her fine ly veiled temple on bis coat collar, and fix ing her dreamy, ten-cents-a-gallon-bntter- milk eyes on the far-off Pleides; how soothing, how restful!” “Yes,” he replied toying with the golden anreela of her hair, “and wbat a night to shoot cats!” A countryman took his watch to a watchmaker to have it repaired. After a few minutes' work on it, the watchmaker handed it back with the remark that the damages were five dollars. ‘Wbat was the matter with it-?’ asked the stranger. ‘There was a hair in it.’ ‘Was that all? Ton ought to have found a hair-mattress in it for five dollars.’ Some New Hotel Kales. Bates, $3 per day.

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.

Y. Tribune. If •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.-
