Farmer John.
Should yob inert farmer John in the
city*
You’d call him a country greenhorn,
Yon might look upon him with pity,
Or perhaps with a feelingof scorn.
His great heavy boots, minus blacking,
Ills straw hat with wide,ample brim,
With gloves and necktie both lacking.
And his bronzed fare puzzled and
grigs.
The fops step aside tie he passes.
And glatbce at their dainty pinched
feet.
And lisp their disgtl% to the lasses,
They happen to meet in the street.
*>! come from the dust of the city,
Leave palace, and steeple and dome,
l’nt by both your scorn and your pity, 4
Till you see good farmer John’s home.
Far back from town’s noise and bustle.,
Where meadows and pastures are
wide,
Where loaves on the tipple trees rustle.
And comfort and pleasure abide.
'Where acres with beauty lie teeming,
And promise large produce to bring,
A pleasant white farmhouse is gleaming
\ml farmer John reigns as ils King.
How eliaiT'ed i* liis lace as he nears it,
l-’rom that which he wore in the tow n;
A broad smile breaks over and clears it,
From puzzled expression and frown.
! lis good wife stands ready to greet him
Witha smile that thrills hi* through
heart,
And all are so happy to meet him.
Though only a bright day apart.
Ills deep voice grows sweet and lower,
As baby- lips press his brown cheeks,
He is happy, he asks for no more;
lie is loved—w hat more need he ask y
His hoys and his girls are so merry,
The table so full and so white,
And all are so happy and cherry,
lie envies no ruler his might.
HI ye, with city notions,
Thert’is something more precious and
sweet,
Thau gm-eful and elegant motions,
In walking tlie'clo-c,’dusty street.
Facts about Life.
It is singular how much meth
od has been discovered in the
■seeming irregularities of life.
Thin gs that appear the most pas
mil occur with wonderful order
when the aggregate is taken into
account. Take, far instance;- the
height of man. What influence
lias it on longevity ? How ‘tan
we know whether we are fortu
nate or unfortunate in this re
spect? Facts show that one's
height does affects one's days,
and*tall men live longer than
short ones.
Marriage, too, affects longevi
ty. Favorably? Yes; married
men live longer than single men.
One's profession has an impor
tant relation to life. Thus, out
of one hundred of each of t he fol
lowing professions, the number
of those who attain their seven
tieth year is ; among clergymen,
12; farmers, 40; traders and
manufacturers, 33 ; soldiers and
clerks, 32; lawyers. 20; artists, 28;
professors, 27; physicians, 24.
Thus it appears that those who
heal us kill themselves more rap
idly than others.
The average duration of life is
33 years. One fourth of the born
die before tliey reach (he age of
7 years, and the half before the
17tli year. Out of 100 persons
only i reach the the age of 30
years, and only 1 in 1,000 reaches
the age of 100 years. Out of
500 only 1 attains 80 years. Out
of 1,000,000,000 living persons,
330,000,000 die annually. 01,000
daily, 3.730 every hour, and CO
every minute; ami still the pop
ulation of the earth increases.
Tito known tongues which men
speak amount to 3,004.
It seems from these facts that
the two great events of life are
being bom and dying. After the
turmoil, rest.
A lesson in Politeness.
•• A friend of Dean Swift’s one
day sent him a turbot as a preb
ent, by a servant lad who had
frequently been on similar er
lands but bad never received
anything from the dean for his
trouble. Having gained admis
sion, he opened the study-door
and, putting down the fish on the
floor, cried out rudely, ‘Master
has sent you a turbot!’"
Young man,’ aid the dean,
ri-diiu from hi- easv-chair, i* that
the way you deliver a message?]
Lei me teach you better manners.
Sit down in my chair, we will
change places, and I will show
you howto behave in future.
“'Hie boy sal down, and the
dean going out, came up to the
door, and making a low how.said.
‘Sir, master presents his kind
compliments, hopes your are well
and requests your acceptance of
a small present.’”
** • Does he ?’ replied the boy.
‘Return him my best thanks, and
there’s half a crown for yourself."
“The dean, thus caught f-y VV I
own trap, laughed heartily*-. ,vu
; gave the boy a crown for
ready wit.”
The teacher as well to 4H|
| scholar received a lesson *lJ,>rtH|
j time. That boy certainly , u . o j* j
enough to make his way tl, s a( n—
, the world. The dean was r<
fun’ and we have no doubt i-nfl
ed the boy’s coolness.
Home Manners.
Good manners are not learned ly
arbitrary teaching so much as ac
qiiiretl from habit. They grow
upon us by use. We must be
courteous, agreeable, civil, kind,
gentlemanly and womanly at
home, and then it will soon lo t
I come a kind of second nature \di
Ihe so everywhere. A course,
I rough nature at home begets a
I habit of roughness which wo can
! not lay off, if we try, when we go
! among strangers. The most a
! grceablo people we have ever
j met in company are those who
j are perfcctfully agreeable at
| home. Home is the seltool for
jail the best things, especially
i good manners.

In part J. of the Series of lec
tures on this “acoustical marvel
of the century” the endeavor
was made to explain ils mechan
ism and operation and to point
out t he delicate complexity of its
effects in a way to awaken an
interest in the laws of acoustics,
and in the onward march of
science. The present paper will
treat of the future of this wonder
ful ventriloquist, for so, in a eei
tain sense it is, being able to ;,r
rest and fix all kinds of sound;
to preserve them as long as met
als may hold their properties, and
to give them forth again in all
their original qualities.
Regarded from a scientific
point, of view there are subtile
questions about it that only
trained physicists can appreciate.
Mr. Edison, by this invention has
done for sound what .M. Daguerre
did for light, made it possible to
fix and retain the most fleeting
impressions. The fact, though,
is established and must lie made
the most of A machine a- sim
plo as a coffee mill hears L?; a
speech or a song and give* it
back, inufiled and mumified (is
true, it being an iron tongue
which speaks, but its intonation-,
inflections, pauses and quality,
are rendered with such astonish
ing fidelity that a listener cm
hardly believe his senses, or es
cape from the suspicion that
there is some ventriloquist hocus
poctis about it or some little Hop
’o my Thumb concealed some
where. We have studied and
learned touch about the marvel
ous properties of cold iron, mag
netism. and electric wire, and
here we have the lesson repeated
with still greater emphasis, that
we must - raise out estimate j
ot the powers and potencies of
“mere dead matter.”

ceis seeming to thin! flial the

But these are some of the pri
vate explanations. For public
uses, we shall have galleries
where phenotype sheets will he
preserved as photographs and
books now arc. The utterances
of great speakers and singers will
there he kepi for a thousand
years. In these galleries, spoken
languages will he preserved from
century (o century with all the
peculiarities of pronoiinciation,
dialect, and brogue. What if a
cient Rome or Athens had pro
duced an Edison ? There would
have been iio difficulty in repro
ducing the grand orations of
Cicero or Demosthenes delivered
with unsurpassed eloquence. The
musical tones of Homer would
again he heard singing the prais
es of heroes. As we now go to
see sferopticon, we shall go to
public halls to hear treasures of
speech and opera brought out a*
loud or even louder than when
first uttered by the truly great
ones of earth. This will be a truly
great stimulus to ambition; for
life, being but a span,excellence
will be striven for in order that
posterity may hear and know u*.
In public exhibitions, also, we
shall have reproductions of the
sounds of nature, of voices famil
iar and unfamiliar. Nothing will
be easier than to catch the soiind
of the waves on the beach, the
roar of Niagara, tin- hum and di*
cord of the streets, the warbling
of mocking bird or the chant of
the nightingale and the rolling of
the thunder either of /• us or of
the battlefield. The conditions
for increasing the sound are so
simple tlial there can be iio doubt
of any desirable extension in dial
direction.
