'WHAT8 THE USE OF QRUMBLIKO t
Bnpposo, my littlo baby,
Your (loll should break her bead,
Could you make it whole by crying
Till your oyos and nose are red ?
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
To treat it ns a joke,
Ami say you’re glad 44 'twas Dolly'*,
And not your head that broke ?”
Suppose you’re dressed for walking,
And the rain conics pouring down,
Will it clear off any sooner
Iloeauso you scold and frown ?
And wouldn’t it bo nicer
For you to smile than pout,
And so make nnnshino in the house
When there is none without?
Suppose your task, my littlo man,
Is vory hard to get,
Will it make it any easior
For you to sit and fret?
And wouldu’t it ho wiser,
Tli&n waiting like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest,
And learn the thing at onco?
Buppo-'e that Romo boys havo a horse,
And some a coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
To say, 4 It isn’t, fair ?”
And wouldn’t it be nobler
To keep your temper sweet,
And in your henrt bo thankful
You can walk upon your feet?
And suppopo the world don’t please you,
Nor tbe way some peoplo do,
Do you think the whole creation
Will bo altered just for you ?
And isn’t it, my boy or Rirl,
Tho wis< Kt, braves: plan
Whatever eomes or doesn't come,
To do tho best you can?
BRAVE IN ADVERSITY.
At Mr. 1 jonsdalo’s aristocratic man-
niou tho earliest letters were brought in
with tho rolls mill coffee, bo that Mrs,
Lonsdale was languidly eating orange
marmalade when her husband rend out
tho contents of tho letter with tho hlnok
edge which had just como from Moon
Mountain.
"Left a widow I" echoed Mrs. Lons
dale | “And with six daughters. What
it very unpleasant circumstance I”
"Sle- was my favorite cousin,” sair.
Mr. Lonsdale, "Ah bright a girl ns I
over saw. 1 suppose, Nnomi"—with a
littlo hesitation—"wo couldn’t (alio hor
in hero?”
"Take her in here?” repeated Mrs.
Lonsdale almost in a Borcnm. "Why,
where could wo put a widow nml six
young women? Wo aottiallv haven't
space enough to ncoommodato our-
Belves.”
“Well, well, I'm Horry for poor Mary,"
naiil Mr. LoiiHilalo. “I think nlio had
tho bluest eyes I over saw. * Hix daugh
ters, and wo never had ono. Perhaps,
Naomi,”—with tho old hesitating for’
mills—"you wouldn’t like to adopt
one ?”
"Thank yon,” satirically observed his
wife. "When I do receive nn adopted
child into my house, it will not bo tho
country article,”
At the solitary littlo farm on Moon
Mountain, however, the sumo topic was
being discussed while Mrs. Drix wan
sewing on tho simplo mourning whiob
(he bereaved family could afford.
Helen was washing tho dishes, llosio
was darning (lie carpet with a piece
of woolen yarn of tho same oolor, and
Lizzie was trimming sovun plain straw
bats with bands of crape, ns inexpen
sively ns possible. Susy wns picking
over a shining tin-pan of tho dandelion
grams ter dinner. Esther, ttio youngest
and rosiest of all, was feeding a littlo
flock of downy chickens, and Sarah, the
eldest, was aliseut at a neighbor’s, help-
'pg to make up tho spring outfits of
^Wf-a-di /mil boys.
"Surah was always so handy with tho
itli
needle,” said Mrs. Drix with pardon-
Able prido.
“But, mother.” said Rosie, looking
up from her work with a troubled cuttu-
tenniioe, "what are wo to do?"
"Mother," said Lizzy, "our Lonodnlo
eousins are rich. Couldn't wo go to
them ?"
"Certainly not,” said Mrs. Drix with
a sparkle of the eyes which had not yet
tost their forget-me-not blue. "I wroto
tn them, tolling them of our affiiotlon,
and they Bent back a letter full of eom-
monplaoea, without even offering to
help us.’*
"But they are rich and we are jioor."
"Yes, and they livo in splendid Btylo,
flutliu Cooley Hays," added Susy.
“Very likely," anid Mrs. Drix. "But
os long os I in re aru seven pairs of hands
In this fitmi’.Y, mid God spares our
health, I do not propose to turn gou-
feel beggar I"
"But, mother," began Rosio, who was
the oareduking member of tho family,
"1 think ,p
"I vo settled it nil in my own mind,"
said Mrs. Drix, stitching away until her
noodle looked liko n gleam of steel light
ning. "Tho h:mso is large, although it
isn’t built after tlio latest fashion. Tho
ttir is wholesome, and thero is tho Black
Bpring, where people como to got tho
water lor ten miles around, I menu to

"Fiuiiih f, r the little mother I” oried
JS-ihio, clapping her plump hands, "And
1 may help you make eustarda and do
up pi rves, mayn't J, mamma ?”
“Susy and Either shall help mo,” de
clared liiis. Drix. “Sarah can always
earn kw living at tailoring-work, llolen

thoyjiec 0 new hands there. Lizzie onu
help Mn. Dart, the milliner, nud Body

And It, I tweiu us, wo can’t earn a do

Siisv red iUssie were delighted, llosio
laterally r- gardtd her position ns a do-
eiiie.l promotion. ttaten, however,
drop!" I 1 - tear iuto tho pan of hot water
which aba > ai just poured out.
‘‘Tii.' pi ivo factory, mother?” she re-
jxrated, "Lut it will be tmoh a strange.
lonesome place. I don’t think I shall
like it.”
“We. must all of us try to like our
duly, oh Id,” said the briBli little widow.
“Man is going to open a boarding
house,” i aid Mr. Lonsdale again to his
wife, "iihe has requested me to insert
un adverisemeut in tho dailies for hor.”
"Very laudable of her, I am sure,’
said Mrs. Lonsdale, with a yawn.
“Suppose you were to go thore for a
few weeks before the Saratoga sensoD
opens?” suggested Mr. Lonsdale. "You
can't very well stay here while the paint
ing and repairs are going an.”
“I don’t know that I can endure that
sort of living,” said Mrs. Lonsdale, du
biously.
“Mary Drix used to bo tho best house-
teener 11
keeper I over knew,” answered her hus
band.
“Do you suppose she will take mo
cheap?”
“1 should imagino so.”
So Mrs. Lonsdale wrote a patronizing
letter to la-r husband's cousin, bespeak
ing tho best room.
But when slio got to Moon Mountain
thore wns only ono little square room loft
The turn of the Black Spring had gone
forth in all directions, and u newspaper
editor bad promulgated nn nrticle prais
ing Ihe delicious pine-scented air and
the usual prioes, I suppose ?” said Mrs.
Lonsdale.
"I shall ohnrgo you just what I oharge
everybody elso, neither more nor loss,”
answered Mrs. Drix.
“Bat I’m a relative,” pleaded Mrs,
Lonsdale.
"What good docs that do me?" said
tho widow, fixing her bluo i»a lull on
ITc
Mrs. Lonsdale. "My terms tor a room
of this size are thirty shillings a week.”
"Rut that is too much,” whined Mrs.
Lonsdale.
"How much did you expect to pay?"
nsked Mrs. Drix with a ourious spnrklo
In her eyes,
"In tins wilderness, here," said Mrs.
Lonsdale, "twelve shillings would
bn "
"If those are your ideas wo never shall
come to terms," said Mrs. Drix. "But
if you nrc really ernmped for money——"
"My dear Mrs. Drix,” said tho rich
man’s wife, "you hnvo no idea of tho
perpetual demands on na for tnouoy,”
"I will ' ike you for twouty-livo shil
lings,” Mrs. Drix completed her sontonco
ns if tho other had not spoken.
And tho bargain was completed,
Mrs. Lonsdale bail not been in tho
house a week before she took her bns-
bniid'a cousin severely to task.
“That horrid old man in the faded
olive-green suit has tho best room in tho
house,” Biiid she. "Tile vory best,"
"Yes,” said Mrs. Drix, "he is my
mother's uncle. Ho was always very
good to my poor husband.”
"Rutl'm told he only pays hnlf-prico?”
"That is my affair,"said Mrs. Drix.
"But is it true?” insisted Mn. Lons
dale.
“Yes, it is true,” confossed tho widow.
"Ho is very old, and can’t go up and
down stairs, so of .course he must havo
the lirst-llocr room."
"Butin- hasn't any properly?”
"Heewi.s Garrngco Farm, across tho
mountains,” said Mrs. Drix, "but no
body will rent it of him, lieoausn tho

Inn
was burned down last fall when thore
were so many llres in tho woods. Be
yond that he lias nothing."
Mrs. Lonsdale curled her Up.
"8uch inipudenco,” said sho. "No
body has any right tb live to lie 70 yours
of age without having laid up Romo littlo
provision for tho future.”
"I was thinking," said Mn. Drix,
"flint perhaps Cousin Mortimer Lons
dale would contribute a littlo something
to his support, as wo aro equally re
lated.”
"You may bo very sure that ho will
not,” said Mrs, Lontdaio with em
phasis.
"Very well,” snid Mrs. Drix calmly.
elp
"Ho shall never want whilo I enn help
him."
The very next week, however, old
Mr. Harrow was found dead in his arm
chair. And by will ho Imd loft every
thing lie possessed to his grandniece,
Mary Drix I
"I wish von joy of Oarrngee Farm I"
chuckled Mrs. Lonsdale. “Of couno
you havo to pay taxes on it, so it will
absolutely be money out of pocket."
\ p. -in- '• —is ir
"It was all lie had to give, said Mrs.
Drix.
Meanwhile Ihe family woro prosper
ing. Surah was engaged to mnrry a
age
thrifty young farmer of tho neighbor
hood. Helen was earning n good living.
lizzie was contemplating tho setting
up of a small milliner's shop on her own
account—nud Rohio was in high favor at
Millinglmm place.
Even Mrs. Lonsdale admitted that het
grave French cook could not excel tho
syllabubs, creams, delicate cukes and
delic ous puddings which those young
damsels compounded, with tho help of
new-laid egga and country cronm.
"I am almost sorry our rooms nro en
gaged at Saratoga,” said tho city lady.
"I am getting rather to liko" Moon
Mountain. Ami your lahlo is decidedly
good. Mary."
Bui J'lHt ns sho wns pnoklng her big
trunks for tho removal to tho Mecca of
modern fashion, Mr. Lonsdale himsoll
Clinic down.
"Well," said tho lady airily, "wlmt is
tho nows, Mortimer ?"
"Rad news,” said Mortimer in a honrso
aocont. "Wo aru ruined I Tho business
has gone to wreck—the cashier lins (led
to Belgium—nml wo havon't a oent to
on! 1 our own."
Whereupon, nntnrnlly enough, Mrs
Lonsdale went into hysterics.
When Mrs, Drix came in, Naomi was
wildly loading her husband with re-
f ironohes. Mortimer Lonsdale stood
calling against tho mnutol, with some
thing glilturing in his Imud. Mrs. Drix
wout up to him and took it away with
gonllo authority.
"Give mo Hint pistol, Mortimer," said
she. "Got lip Naomi, nnd leavo oil
crying and sobbing. If ovor you needed
to bo a woman, you need it nowl”
"Wo aro ruined!—wo are ruinodl”
shriekod Naomi, tearing hor hair.
"I nover can rodeom myself I” Haid
Mortimer huskily. "You had better
have let mo shoot myself Mary.”
"Pshawi" said Mrs. Drix onrtly.
"Suicide is tho last resort of tho ooward.
Don’t yon know, Mortimer, that it is
always darkest just belore daylight.”
"I don’t know wbnt you mean," said
be.
"Then listen to me. Tho old lawyer
has just oomo over from Oarrageo Farm.
Ho says that thov have struck a rich
vein of iron on the rooky hills thero.
A stock company want to buy it of mo
for £5,000, nnd I’vo ngrcod to sell it.
Undo Darrow was ns much yonr grand-
unolo as ho was miuo. Wo’ll divide the
money, Mortimor, you and I."
“But I’ve no right to it, Mary,” fort-
4(>red he.
"Not by lnw,perhaps,” said tho widow,
"but you havo by equity—at all events,
half of it shall bo yours. What do I
want of five thousand pounds ? Half
will bo groat riohoe for me. The girls
are all doing well, and I liko to lend a
busy life. Nay, Mortimor, yon must
take it 1”
He tumod away his faoo.
"Mary,” said he, "you have heaped
conlB of fire on onr heads I”
So Mr. and Mrs. Lonsdale sottlod on a
pretty farm on Moon Mountain, nud
strange torelnte, their only son Geoffrey,
eventually married pretty EsHie Drix.
"So that you'll havo to adopt ono of
Mary Drix’s girls nftor all,” jocosely
said her husband.
An Eccentric Island.
Tho White Plains, N. Y., Journal
says: Situated one and n half miles
north of Pouudridge is a pretty little
sheet of water called Trinity Lake, It
is ihe source of supply for Stamford,
Conn., fourteen miles away. There is a
singular phenomenon connected with
thib lake, which is not generally known,
except to a few residents of this locality,
It is what is called a floating island,
a good-sized body of laud which hns for
several years appeared at regular inter-
vals near the center of tho lake, and,
after remaining upon the surface of the
' da
well-populated front brooks of tho moun
tain, and fho consequonee was that the
fastn-house was full.
"But this room is too small,” said Mrs.
I oufsdaio fretfully ns sho looked around.
"It’s all I havo left,” said Mrs. Drix,
"aud 1 could have let it half a dozen
times over if it hadn’t been reserved for
you, Cousin Naomi.”
"You’ll take me at a reduction from
water ior several days, sinking again to
tho bottom, about forty-five feet. No
one lias yet taken the trouble to investi
gate tbe phenomenon, nnd the oountry
people have become so acoustomed to it
that they think little of it
EVES ElURKOWS AND PICKANINNIES.
A colored child hnd a fall from a
second-story window the other day, and
his mother, in relating the accident at
Ihe grocery store, said: "Di-re dat

THE FRENCH FARMERS.
WHAT AN A.1IKU1CAN GKNTLFmN
A French nm* nml lllw Wife Ctiltlvnie n
Fnrm nml (Jet n Hood Living From It.
In going from Paris to Geneva, via
Dijon, -wo pass through tho best portion
of F
franco, For hundreds of miles every
inch of laud is Cultivated. The abrupt
Bido bills arc in grnpo vines anil tho fiat
land in grain. Hero wo soo tho phe
nomenon of double crops—a crop of
grain nnd Vegetables growing under n
crop of trees. Tho Normandy poplar
trees are from nn inch t*i three feet in
diameter. They are planted thickly,
but givo noshndo. They aro trimmed
within six feot of tho tops. Tho boughs,
which nro cut off every yenr, make fag
gots enough to wnrrn France. Wo often
see men nnd women cradling wheat or
hoeing beets in the midst of a wood giv
ing no shade. AVbon you look across
tho oountry the toll, boughlcss trunks
look liko black strenks painted against
tho sky. They make the view very pic
turesque. Onr farmers on tho prairies
could plntit blnck walnut trees where
they want fences, trim them to tho tops,
preventing shade, and then string barbed
wire on the trunks for foncos. Af tho
end of fifty years tho blnck walnut trees
on a man's farm would he worth more
tbnn his farm ! Wood in Franco is sold
jorn third of a cent a pound, it is worth
ns much ns corn in Kansas by the
pound. Bo when tho Kansas man liariiB
corn, ho isnomoro profligate, than tho
Freuohmnu who burns faggots. The
French farmer would never think of
burning wood to liont hia house. Ho nils
in tho cold all tho winter long, only
using wood to cook with. Tho average
farmer docs not know enough to buy
coal or kerosene yet. Ho does not live
ns well as the poorest negro in the
South. Ho has no homo comforts; pov
erty nnd ignorance nro his companions.
France Is literally olio large garden.
Every inch of soil is cultivated. Ill rid
ing from Paris to Dijon, 150 miles, we
counted only thirty cattle, Wo snw no
sheep or hogs, Tho farms hnvo usually
from ono to ten ncrcs. Some farms
havo half nn aero, and some hnvo as
many ns twenty acres. They nro usually
from 110 to UOO feet wide anil from 1,500
to 2,000 feot long. There are no fences
botwcon them.
When I naked n French farmer how
Ids fnrm happened, liko all tlio rest, to
ho so long nnd nnrrow. ho said :
"It lias boon divided up so often.
When n French farmer dies, ho divides
his farm, and each ono of liis children
hns nn equal allure, no always divides
it longlhwisn no as to givo each ono n
long strip. Tho long strip, nro onsily
cultivated, because wo plow length
ways. Theso strips always run north
nnd south, ho that tho sun onn shino
iuto tlio rows,"
"How largo is your fnrm ?” I askod.
"My father’s fnrm wns !)()0 feet wldo
nnd 2,000 foot long. When ho died my
brother hnd half. Now my farm is 150
foet wide nnd 2,000 foet long, It is quito
a largo fnrm. Thore are many farms
much smaller than mine.”
“Wbnt do you plant in it?” I naked.
"Soo ovor thore," ho said pointing to
what seemed to bo a gignntlo pieoo of
striped carpet, "is a strip of wheat 00
foot wido. Then comes a strip of pota
toes 25 foot wide. Then comes 40 foot
of oats, then 10 foot of carrots, 20 foet of
alfalfa (lnzerno), 10 feet, of mangel-
wnrzols, 5 feet of onions, 5 feot of calla
ges, aed tho rest is in fiowors, peas,
ourrnnts gooseberries, nnd vegetables."
"Obu you support your family on a
farm 150 feot wido nnd 2,000 feet long ?”
I askod; for tho nnrrow strip seemed
like a mnn’s doorynrd in America.
"Support my family I" ho exclaimed.
"Why tho farm 'h too largo for us, T
rent pnrt of it now.”
"Hut your house," I said; "wlioro is
that ?” •
"Oh, tlmt is in town. Five fnmilios
of us livo in ono honso there. My wife
nnd I como out every morning to work
and go in nt night,” .
"Does your wife always work In tho
field ?’’
"Yes. My wife,” ho continued, point
ing to a barefooted and bareheaded
womnn, nt lenst six feet around iho
waist, "she cnH do more work than T
can. She pitches tlio liny to me on tho
stack. All French women work in the
field. Why not? They havo nothing
to do nt homo.”
This is true. Tho wtfo of a French,
English, Irish, or Gorman farmer has
nothing to do nt homo. They do not
"keep honso” liko the wives of Ameri
can farmers. They have no bouses to
keep. Tho lints they live in are like
stnblos. They livo In tho sumo building
with their horses, hens and pigs. They
never wash a floor. Thero is never a
tnblo cloth. They livo liko brutes. Tile
handsomo farmhouse off by itself, sur
rounded by trees nnd gardens does not
exist in Franco. Thoy livo no hotter
nml nro really no better off„than were
the slaves of the South before tho war.
French farmers always congregate in
littlo tumble-down villages situated
about two miles apart. Theso villages
may hnvo boro built threo hundred
years ngo. Tho roofs aro moss-oovcicd,
tho houses nro dirty, nnd remind ono of
n country poor Iioubo in Now England.
Thore aro millions of fnruiH in Franco
containing from a quarter of un aero to
four ncrcs.
I find that nbout nn ncro and a half
is nbout all tho most ambitious man
wnntB. Tho rent for land is nbout one-
hnlf the crop. Tho land is worth about
8400 an acre; or, if in grape vinos, 8000.
This is why Franco is liko n garden.
In England thero are 227,000 landown
ers; in Franco there nro 7,000,000 land
owners. Tho Frenchman oil his two
ncrcs, with his barefooted wife cutting
grain with n siokle by his side, is happy
nnd contented, because lie knows no
bettor. Such a degrading lifo would
drive an American farmer mad. Tho
Frenchman thrives because lie spends
nothing. Ho has no wants beyond tho
ooarscst food nnd tho wanhiugs of tho
grape skins after tlio wine is made.
Yen, he is tlirifty. He saves money, too.
Tho aggregated wealth of 30,000,000
poor, degraded, barefooted peasants
makes Franco rich. Tho iguornnoo of tlio
French farmer is appalling. I nover snw
n newspnpor in a French farm villnge.
Their wants are no more than tho wants
of a horso. Tho Frenchman eats tho
ooarsest food; about the sumo as ho
feeS= i.mne, JTe will eat ooarse
oread and wine for brenkfnst; soup,
broad, nnd wine for dinner, nnd perhaps
bread nud milk for supper; lie docs not
know wbnt ooffeo or tea is. The negroes
of the South live liko kings compared to
a French farmer. Still tho Frenchman
is satisfied because he knows no bettor.
When I asked a Fronoh farmer who
was cultivating his farm (150 by 1,500)
if ho saved any money, ho snid:
"Oh, not much. I go to all the foies.
I laid by 500 francs (8100) last year.”
Victims of Cholera.
It is now oertain that the ontbroak of
cholera in Europe, of tho present yoar,
has not nearly the intensity it had on
former ooonsions. Attention to tho san
itary rules is ouoe more proved to be
the ollief preservative against infection.
Tbe disease has fastened less on whole
sections of the population than on scat
tered individuals of siokly constitution.
The following statistics bear out the
theory that the oholera loses in intensity
with every fresh appearance of it: In
1832 it killed at Paris 20,000 viotims in
a population of 800,000; in 1810, 12,000
in 1.200,000; and in 1865, 6,000 in
2.000. 000. At Marseilles there were
2,500 victims in 1835, in a population of
145.000, and only, 2,000 in 1865, in a
population of 800,000.
The Way the Heart Beat*.
Dr. N. B. Richardson, of London, the
noted physician, says he was rooently
able to convey a considerable amount of
conviction to nn intelligent soholar by a
‘ ‘ :. The
simple experiment. The soholar was
singing tho praises of the “ruddy bum
per,” nud saying he oould not get
through the day without it, when Dr,
Richardson said to himi
"Will yon bo good onough to fool my
' 11
pulse ns I stand hero ?”
Ho did so. I said: "Count it care
fully; wbnt does it say ?"
"Yulir pulse Bays seventy-four."
I then sat down in n ohnir and asked
him to count it again. He did so, and
said, "Yonr pulso has gono down to
seventy/’
I then laid down ou'the lounge, nnd
said:
"Will yon tnko it ngnin?"
Ho replied, “Why, it is only sixty-
four; what an extraordinary thing I”
I then snid: "When you lie down nt
night, that is tho way nnturo glvos yonr
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that lienling orgnu is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon it up it is a
groat deal of rest, beenuso in lying down
the heart is doing ton strokes less a min
ute. Multiply thnt by 60, and it is 600;
multiply it by 8 hours, nnd within a
fraction it is 5,000 strokes different; and,
as tho henrt is throwing six ouncos of
blood at every stroke, it makes a differ
ence of 30,000 ounces of lifting durinf
the night.
"When I lio down at night without
any alcohol, thnt is tho rost my heart
gots. But when yon tnko yonr ivino or
grog yon do not allow it thnt rost, for
the influence of alcohol is to incrcnso
tho number of strokes, and instead of
getting this rost you put on something
like 15,000 oxtrn strokes, nnd the rosult
is you rise np vory soody and unfit for
the next day’s work till you have taken
a littlo moro of tho 'ruddy bumper,’
which you say is tho soul of man bolow,"

was received with surprise, somewhat

the conduotor was watohing him closely,

I took the fan out of the box and
wrapped the box empty, up again just

open fan oarefully under the lining of
my overcoat. Presently when I was
sure the conduotor was looking at me I
wrapped the box np in my overcoat.
When I got on the boat to oross the
river I was conscious that the conduc

I was not surprised when the official
walked np to me and taking my over
coat unwrapped it letting the fan box

he. ‘Three dollars,’ says 1. ‘The duty
is 81.50,’ he continued, and I responded
with, ‘Not muoh l‘ He allowed that he
hod no alternative, he must confiscate
the box and fan, and that I oould get it
at the customs office by calling and pay

and for all I care he is weloome to the

thousands of the volunteers whose
methods of life were hopelessly un

and who, consequently, emerged from
the war better qualified than they would
otherwise havo beon to accomplish some
thing or other. I think this is especially
true of those who had rank above the
mere private, though it might be only »
sergeantoy. The feeling of leadership
and responsibility rendered them mors
disposed to go vigorously ahead in sub
sequent enterprises. No, no; it is *
mistake to say that the war was in any
way demoralising on th* whole."
