man ought to be to discharge fully the
duties of the position to which he is al
ready called. A man is not in position
to discharge his duties fully and without
bias if he is aspiring to higher places
and laboring to secure them. The post
of greatest usefulness ought to be the
place of the highest honor.”
Love was at the bottom of the Arkan

them to bridge over the obstacle standing
between themselves, their girls and matri
mony. They obtained the money, but
thinking they would not be pursued,
they made no effort to escape. Their
girls, no doubt, feel bad to think that
'for their sake they were led to the com
mission of a crime that has culminated
in a seventy-years’ sentence in the peni

Mr. Vennor says in the preface of his
almanac for 1882: “I lav no claim to
the discovery of an infallible system of
foretelling weather. The science of
practical meteorology is yet in its in
fancy, and is being studied by ’men
whose abilities are far greater than any
I could endeavor to lay claim to. There
will be many mistakes before a right
understanding or interpretation of its
principles is arrived at. Based, as my
system of predictions must be, on records
of weather as yet incomplete and very
faulty, the results can not be entirely
satisfactory, more especially in respect
to new ground; yet I believe the key to
the solution of the problem has been
found, and that all errors will but aid in
more correctly discovering the secrets of
coining months.”
Stock-Raising in the West.
The freedom to pasture cattle on ex
cellent grazing land, together with an
accessible market, are the main reasons
why at present stock-farming is particu
larly profitable. The first of these con
ditions is precarious, and it is evident
that in ten years there will not be much
good free range left east of the Missouri
river. When immigration to that extent
shall have shut him off from free pastur
age, the stock man can either sell his
farm at probably four times its present
value, and move to Dakota or Montana,
or else turn his attention to fattening
stock on grain for other parties.
For instance, as a practical case, there
is a cattle man of Council Bluffs who is
said to own 100,000 head of cattle in
Idaho. He has a range of sixty square
miles of land not worth a cent to the
acre for agriculture, yet affording excel
lent pasture for cattle. He lias ten men
employed at wages varying from $24 to
S4O per month to look after the stock.
These men require 200 ponies to handle
the cattle. An overseer is hired at
$1,200 a year. During the winter, how
ever, four men can do all the work re
quired, which is mainly breaking the ice
in the streams that the cattle may have
water. Streams serve as the great checks
upon the cattle straying away, for they
never will go far from water. In the
spring of the year the cattle men of the
plains have a grand “ round up (as it
is called), the stock is picked out by
means of the brand, and those cattle
that are meant for the Eastern market
are started for Omaha. They travel
about ten miles a day, and gen
erally take the whole season in
the journey from the winter
ground to the Missouri bottom. At
Omaha the cattle are put on the train
and shipped nominally to Chicago, but
really to different points along the road,
to be handed over to farmers for fatten
ing. Mr. Stewart delivered over 1,900
head to farmers last fall, and of these
only eight were lost dining the winter.
The parties who receive the cattle agree
to fatten them at the rate of 5 cents for
every extra pound of weight they add to
the animal. This seems small at first
sight, but when cattle put on 250 extra
pounds during a winter, and where two
hogs sire fed from the refuse of each ox,
the farmer finds that the result to him is
equivalent to selling his corn at 100 per
cent, profit. The large cattle-raisers, of
course, have their inspectors, who travel
from farm to farm to look after their
property, and gather it together in the
spring for shipment to Chicago, where
they are either slaughtered or shipped
to Europe. The cattle men have a great
advantage over mere farmers, in that
they are to a great extent independent
of railways. If they are badly treated
by one corporation, they have a simple
remedy in driving their stock a few miles
to the next road.— Harper's Magazine.
Gough.
After all his life-long work upon the
platform, and with the high fees his
fame and abilities justly command, John
B. Gough is not a rich man. His private
charities are as large and ntunerons as they
are unostentatious, for this great-hearted
man does not let his left hand know what
his right hand does. He has met with
frequent and heavy losses on account of
the tender-hearted willingness with
which he puts his valuable autograph on
the back of a friend’s album for ninety
davs, and the almost infallible certainty
with which he is compelled to get it back
again for himself when the three short
months have flown. Mr. Gough ought to
be worth $500,000, but like most men
whose hearts are wrapped up in, and
whose lives are consecrated,to some great
work of ref rm, he is not a good busi
ness man, and impecunious friends and
suffering humanity have got most of the
money the great apostle of temperance
has earned by hard platform work.

(( Affidavits Are Not Lobsters.’’
Gen. James Grant Wilson furnishes
the Cape Ann Advertiser with the fol
lowing pleasant gossip about old Admiral
Collin —ore of the Coffins, by the way—
and the great variety about Cape Cod of
lobsters weighing exactly ninety pounds.
Sir Isaac Coffin, a British Admiral and
a member of the family which held a fa
mous reunion at Nantucket, August If),
was born at Boston, ami when a child
lived for some years on Cape Cod. Sir
Isaac came to this country soon after the
war of 1812, and during the voyage he
stated to the officers of liis flag-ship that
when they reached Cape Cod he would
show them lobsters that weighed ninety
pounds ! The rules of a quarter deck do
not permit you to flatly contradict an
Admiral, but still some doubt and dis
trust. was visible on the countenances of
the Captain and Lieutenants who stood
around. “Well,” sail Sir Isaac, “if
you doubt it, I will make you a wager
that when we reach Cape Cod I will
produce a lobster that weighs ninety
pounds.” The wager was made under
the gracious permission of the Admiral,
and when they arrived there Sir Isaac
scoured the Cape, but he could not find
any’ lob ter that weighed ninety pounds,
so he said : “ Well, they don’t happen
to be here just now, but I will obtain
the affidavits of the old fishermen to
prove that there are such lobsters.”
And he produced a pile of affidavits,
showing that when there were fishermen
in early times lobsters that weighed
ninety pounds were as common as
huckleberries on the C ipe. Then it was
left to an umpire to decide, which had
lost and which had won, and by him so
concise a judgment was given that if
now living it would entitle him to the
vacant Judgeship in the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, if all his decisions were
equally good. His decisions was that
“ affidavits are not lobsters.”
The and stinguished member of the Cof
fin family, writing to his friend Commo
dore Isaac Hull, in 181 G, says : “Many
thanks for your kind exertions ; send
the ninety pound lobster when yon can.
My reputation will be saved, although
my money is gone,” and in another let
ter now lying before me the Admiral re
marks : “ The lobster you committed
to ('apt. Tracy arrived in good condition,
and is considered a marvelous one here.
Still my friend Sir Joseph Banks longs
for one of ninety pounds.” Whether
Hull succeeded in saving Sir Isaac’s
reputation by sending lum a ninety
pound lobster I very much regret I am
unable to state, but a venerable Glouces
ter fisherman whom the writer consulted
ou the subject said : “ There ain’t been
no siebi lolster s seen on Cape Ann durin’
the last sixty years, an’ I don’t believe
any sicli were ever caught on Cape Cod.”
Aunt Susan’s Suggestions to a Fretful
Wife.
“Hester;” exclaimed Aunt Susan,
ceasing her rocking and knitting, and
sitting uupright. “Bo you know what
your husband will do when you are
dead?”
“ What do you mean ?” was the start
led reply.
“ He will marry the sweetest-tempered
girl he can find.”
“ Oh, auntie !” Hester began.
“Don’t interrupt me until I’ve fin
ished,” said Aunt Susan, leaning back
and taking up her knitting. “ She may
not be as good a housekeeper as you are ;
in fact, I think not, but she will be good
natured. She may not even love him ns
well as you do, but she will be good-na
tured.”
“ Why, auntie—”
“ That isn’t all,” continued Aunt Su
san. “Every day you live you arc mak
ing your husband more and more iu
love with that good-natured woman, who
may take your place some day. After
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison left you the
other night, the only remark he made
about them was : 4 She is a sweet wom
an.’”
“Oh, auntie—”
“That isn’t all,” composedly contin
ued Aunt Susan. “To-day your hus
band was half way across the kitchen
floor, bringing you the first ripe peach
es, and all you did was to look on and
say : ‘ There, Will, just see your tracks
on my clean floor! I won’t have my
floor all tracked up.’ Some men would
have thrown the peaches out of the win
dow. To-day you screwed up your face
when he kissed you, because his mus
tache was damp, and said, * I never w ant
you to kiss me again.’ When he empties
anything you tell him not to spill it;
when he lifts anything you tell him not
to break it. From morning until night
your sharp voice is heard complaining
and fault-finding. And last winter,
when you were sick, you scolded him
about "his allowing the pump to freeze,
and took no notice when he said. ‘ I was
so anxious about you that I did not
think of the pump.’ ”
“ But, auntie—”
“ Hearken, child. The strongest and
most intelligent of them all care more
for a woman’s tenderness than for any
thing else in the world, and without this
the cleverest and most perfect house
keeper is sure to lose her husband’s af
fection in time. There may be a few
more men like Will—as gentle, as lov
ing, as chivalrous, as forgetful of self,
and so satisfied with loving that their
affections will die a long,' struggling
death ; but in most cases it takes but a
few years of fretfnlness and fault-finding
to turn a husband’s love into irritated
indifference.”
“But, auntie—”
“Yes, well! you are not dead yet, and
that sweet-natured woman has not been
found: so you have time to be
come so serene and sweet that your hus
band can never imagine that there is a
better-tempered woman in existence.”

English social life presents many
points of interests in its slang. We have

“Oli! what a horrid scratch!” where

Who and Whom.
A too frequent error is the use of the
objective “ whom” instead of the nomi
native “who” in such expressions as
“the men whom he says were present.”
This sentence should read : ‘ ‘ The men
who he says were present.” “ Who ” is
not governed by the verb “ says,” but is
the subject of “ were,” and should be in
the nominative. “ Whom” is a stiff and
clumsy word at the best. It it very lit
tle used in conversation, even by highly
cultivated people. It has a flavor of
pedantry and affectation. The usual
substitute of “whom” is “that,” as
“the man that I saw,” or it may be
omitted altogether in many cases. No
body of any taste would think of using
such sentences in conversing as “Of
whom are you speaking ?” “ Whom do
you mean?” These phrases may be
grammatically correct, but they are de
cidedly inelegant. The easiest way to
deal with them is the best. “ Who is it
you are speaking of ?” or “ Who is it
you mean?” are equally good English,
aud far more graceful forms expression.—
N. Y. Star.
Work is the law of our being—the
living principle that carries men and na
tions onward. The greater number of
men have to work with their hands as a
matter of necessity, in order to live; but
all must work in one way or another, if
they would enjoy life as it ought to be
enjoyed. Labor may be a burden and a
chastisement, but it is also an honor and.
a glory'. Without it nothing can be ac
complished. All that is great in mau
comes through work, and civilization is
its product. Were labor abolished, the
race of Adam were at once stricken by
moral death.
