Longfellow once gave this sensible
advice to a student who desired a rule to
guide him in writing: “Be yourself;

They are going there by ship loads.
Henry M. Stanlet writes from “far
up the Congo Kiver” that his expedition
is prospering and will probably ba
brought to a successful close this year.
Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, of New York,
has given a house and grounds complete
on the south shore of Long Island to be
used as a place of summer resort for the
poor children of that city.
The Memphis A mlanche says that the
only thing Congress can do to improve
the Mississippi River will be to build a
mountain range on either side of it to
keep it within its boundaries.
The Star Route swindlers who at first
wanted a speedy trial, and then after
ward didn’t seem to be in a hurry about
it, are to be triod speedily whether their
anxiety tends that way or not.
Should Mr. Sooville commit suicide
no surprise need be felt. Only twenty
persons turned out to hear him lecture
the other night. A school boy could
have drawn a larger audience.
The report has begun to circulate
again through the newspapers that Mr.
Tilden is in feeble health. This report
will reappear with increased frequency
as Ihfc summer of 1884 draws nearer.
The fight in Ohio, as it is being drawn,
seems to be between the churches and
the saloons, and “other people,” of which
there are doubtless many, do not ap
pear to have much to say in the matter.
Davtd Swing, of lowa, aged eighty
three years, had to pay $3,000 damages
for kissing his hired girl. Strange one
of his age and experience conld not do
so slight a turn without damaging the
girl. _
There is only one sad fact connected
with the death of tho murderer, Jesse
James. Sentimentalists did not get a
chance to present him with a bouquet
in his last moments, although he had
killed fifty men in his time.
Well, well! And so dishonesty has
crept into the Ohio Legislature, and
that, too, in the shape of bribery! Tho
very last place on earth one would
have looked for it. It is no wonder
honest men refuse to run for office.
Sarah Bernhardt was married the
other day, and now a oablegram says
she is attending bull fights at Madrid.
Spitting blood—married—attending bull
fights ! Well, well! If that isn’t going
it by strides then we don’t know what is.
A correspondent describes the wifa
of Sergeant Mason as being twenty-seven
years old, tall and spare built, with ui>
graceful figure. But she lias fine, light
brown hair, pleasant eyes, an aquiline
nose, rosy lips, oval chin and a slender
neck.
Mr. Scoyille’s application to Congress,
for pay for services rendered in the de
fense of the President’s murderer was
not exactly unexpected. It requires no
more nerve than was required of Dr.
Bliss when he set his figures for services
at $50,000.
Historian Bancroft, who professes
to be a judge, says bo “never ate finer
Bade (Countil (Ciazette.
dinners in any European court than
President Arthur provides for his
friends, ' which leads us to remark that
Arthur has a wonderful craving for
good things.
Marshal Henry says Mrs. Garfield is
in wretched health, the reoent attacks
upon her husband almost crushing her.
A fortnight ago she wrote him that lier
troubles were more than she could bear,
and that if it were not for her children
she would be glad to die.
J udging from the testimony it does
not seem that lobbyists hesitate to offer
money to members of the Ohio Legisla
ture for their votes. What the country
ueeds is a law that will look upon the
lobbyist as a common criminal and hold
bis vocation to lie on a par with that of
vngranoy.
Barnes, the Kentucky evangelist, ac
cepted a purse of SBOO for bis highly
successful revival work in the village of
Paris. This fact is being used against
him, ou the ground that be possesses ut
ter disinterestedness. He replies that
the money will be devoted to tlie educa
tion of bis daughter.
A price is set upon tho heads of wild
Horses in three of the Australian colonies.
They hang upon the outskirts of civiliza
tion, and are a ceaseless cause of annoy
ance and loss to outlying
They are vicious, physically weak, and
worthless as work horses. Stalking
them with the rifle, or running them
down, is a favorite sport.
Ip there is a summer hotel in this
country that doesn’t mistake cockroaches
for raisins in preparing food for the
table, it should make it a point to adver
tise the fact. Hotels in whioh cock
roaches do not get mixed up in things
in which they bate no business to med
dle, are getting to be about as scarce as
rich editors.
Manufacturers of oleomargarine are
in Washington resisting tho proposition
to tax them. If a tax is to be placed
on this vile stuff it should be heavy
enough te have the effect to increase its
market priee to a figure by which tho
innocent purchaser can distinguish it
from the genuine article of butter.
Frauds are altogether too numerous.
Barnum has landed an elephant in
this country Ue calls Jumbo, and most
of the metropolitan dailies seem to have
taken a fit over the matter. Why this
particular elephant should excite so
much or more attention than some gi
gantic swindle or a presidential election
is hard to understand, unless it is because
he can be assailed without the danger of
a lible suit or a first-class fight.
Capt. Howgate, who owes the Gov
ernment something like $160,000, ac
companied by a bailiff, went to his resi
dence to see his daughter, who had just
returned from Vassal- College. It seems
that the Vassal- girl turned the bailiff’s
bead, for at a moment when bis mind was
not centered ou his charge, the bird took
flight and was gone. Beally an attrac
tive girl is worth something in an
emergency.
The recent statement that the time
would arrive in a few days for the usual
announcement that the peach crop has
been killed, has finally reached us, but
the joke end has been cut off, leaving us
alone with the sad fact. And it is not
only true that the peach crop lias been
all but completely killed, but with it go
all early apples, pears, cherries and
other fruit upon which we bod relied for
au abundant yield. In Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, there will be little if any
early fruit.
The promenade over the Hast River
Bridge, New York, promises to be the
most attractive of any in the world.
The walk for foot passengers is in the
center of the bridge, and nine feet above
tlie roadway for carriages and railroad
cars, and the view, taking in the bay,
the river, a glimpse of tlie sound, and
the area of the two densely populated
cities, will be such as thousands will do
light to linger over. The distance be
tween the towers is 1,595 feet 5 inches,
and including the approaches, about a
mile.
A strange circumstance is connected
with the shooting of Sergeant Mason at
Gnitean. When the bullet struck the
wall of the murderer’s cell it flattened
itself out into a thin piece of lead in the
outer lines of which the superstitious see
a startlingly distinct profile of the mur
derer. It excited profound curiosity at
the time, and a shrewd dealer obtained
of Warden Crocker permission to make a
cast from the original piece of lead. By
a very little scraping here and there the
likeness of the self-appointed “agent of
tlie Diety” was made perfect, and since
then hundreds have been sold, accom
panied by the Warden’s printed certifi
cate of correctness as fac similes. The

uncanny souvenirs, which have found
their way into countless pockets, have
been bored with holes and hung upon
watch chains and ladies’ bracelets, show
the receding forehead, long lean nose
and sharp chin as perfectly as if tho as
sassin had sat for the picture.
Almost Incredible Distance of the
Stars.
It would take a ray of light traveling
at the rate of 186,000 miles per second
three years and eight months to go to
the nearest fixed star. In order that
the mind may he less confused in the
midst of these thousands of sparkling
points it has been agreed from the high
est antiquity to class the stars according
to their apparent brightness. The
brightest stars have been called stars c-f
the first order or magnitude, although
this term does not imply anything rela
tive to the actual size or brightness of
the stars; those which follow, still in
the order of their apparent brightness,
have been called stars of the second
magnitude; then comes those of the
third, fourth, and fifth magnitude, ac
cording as they appear smaller; stars of
the sixth magnitude are the last stars
visible to the naked eye.
It is generally thought that the
brightest are the nearest, though this Ls
not always so. There are said to be be
tween 5,000 and 6,000 stars visible to tho
naked eye. But when our feeble sight
gives way, the telescope, that giant eye
which increases, from century to century,
piercing the depths of the heavens, con
stantly discovers new stars. After the
sixth magnitude the first glasses revealed
the seventh. They then reached the
eighth, the ninth. It is thus that thous
ands lmve increased to tens of thousands,
and that tens of thousands have beoome
hundreds of thousands. More perfect
instruments have cleared those distances,
and have found stars of the tenth and
eleventh magnitudes. From this period
they began to count by millions. The
number of the stars of the twelfth magni
tude is 9,556,000; added to the eleven
preceding magnitudes, the total exceeds
fourteen millions. By the aid of still
greater magnifying power these limits
are again surpassed.
At the present time the total number
of stars, from tlie first to the thir
teenth magnitude, inclusive, is calcu
lated at 43,000,000. The sky is truly
transform-!. In tho field of the tele
scope neither constellations nor divisions
are distinguished; hut n fine dust shines
in the place where the eye, left to its
own power, only secs darkness, on which
stand out two or three stars. In pro
portion as the wonderful discoveries in
optics will increase the visual power, all
regions of the sky will be covered with
this tine golden sand.
Eating Before Sleeping.
Man is the only animal that can ha
tatight to sleep quietly on an empty
stomach. The brute creation resent all
efforts to coax them to such a violation
of the laws of nature. The lion roars
in the forest, until he has found liis prey,
and when he has devoured it he sleeps
over until he needs another meal. The
horse will paw all night in the stable
and the pig will squeal in the pen,
refusing all rest or sleep until they are
fed. The animals which cliew the cud
have thoir own provisions for a late meal
just before dropping off to their nightly
slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit of
sleeping without a preceding meal, hut
only after long years of practice. As lie
comes into the world nature is too strong
for him, and he must be fed before he
will sleep. A child’s stomach is small,
and when perfectly filled, if no sickness
disturbs it, sleep follows naturally and
inevitably. As digestion goes on, the
stomach begins to empty. A single fold
in it will make the little sleeper restless;
two will waken it; and if it is hushed
again to repose tlie nap is short, and
three folds put an end to the slumber.
Paregoric or other narcotic may close
its eyes again, hut without either food
or some stupefying drug it will not
sleep, no matter how healthy it may he.
Not even an angel who learned the art
of minstrelsy in a celestial chon- can
sing a babe to sleep upon an empty
stomach.
We use tho oft-quoted illustration,
“ sleeping as sweetly as an infant,” be
cause this slumber of a child follows im
mediately after its stomach is complete
ly filled with wlioleeome food. The
sleep which comes to adults long hours
after partaking of food, and when tlie
j stomach is nearly or quite empty, is not
after the type of infantile repose. Thero
is all the difference in the worldbetween
tlie sleep of refreshment and the sleep
of exhaustion.
To bleep well blood that swells the
veins in the head during our busy hours
must flow back, leaving a greatly dimin
i ished volume behind the brow that late
|ly throbbed with such vehemence. To
digest well, this blood is needed at tho
6tomach, and nearer the fountains of
life. It is a fact established beyond the
possibility of contradition that sleep
aids this digestion, and that tlie process
Jf digestion is conducive to refreshing
sleep. It needs no argument to con
vince us of this mutual relation. Tho
drowsiness which always follows tho
well-ordered meal is itself a testimony
of nature to this ihter-depi ndence.—

The more a man does the more he can
do, especially if there is a gentle pres
sure behind him which says, don’t stop,
keep moving, here is another little job
frjr you to do. A farming man may
map out his work for to-morrow ever
so’carefully, but it is mighty hard to
work up to it, for the first thing lie
kr< >ws ihe plow points are too dull or a
single-tree breaks in the new ground, or
a abhors hogs, that have got no pasture
but the big road, have broke through
thfe water gap, and it takes an hour to
rtia ’em out again, for a hog wont go
ou-. at the same hole he came in. These
•bogs that pester me so come three quar
ters of a mile every day to peruse my
premises, and they have lived on me
all winter, and I’ve dog’d ’em pretty
bad, hut they come hack again next day
and lie round a-watching, and water
gaps and gates are no protection, for
they are educated hogs. Cobe told me
to catch one and mash his tail on a rock,
but it did no good. I can fix a gate
that that old sow can’t root open, hut
Fir not going to do it, for she has no
right to put her nose under it and shake
it and rock it and lift it uutil she gets
it open; and I’m notgoing to stake down
myi water-gap on the lower s’de either,
forkhe creek rises rapidly, and some
times in tke night, and brings the rif
raf down, and the gate must he free to
rise with it. The fact is, nobody -has
any right to keep such hogs unless they
keep ’em at home, and I’ve home with
it uutil patience is exhausted and I’ll
have to stand by my arms. Why, last
Sunday we all shut up the house and
went up to spend the day with our mar
ried offspring, and when we come hack
in the shank of the afternoon the old
sow and all her shoats were under the
hou=o and had broke up two hen’s nests,
and when I made war on her in my
wrath she actually shewed fight and
kumblumoxed at me like the premises
were her’s.
THE FIvNCE LAW AND THE HOGS.
The fence law as it is gives these hogs
a pasture in a lane nearly a mile long
an and open at both ends, and they have
go? to forage on somebody or meat will
be scar.;-.-, next fall. There is a power
oft* 'kto do now and it looks like my
si.aftvoT ‘h is biggei dian usual for one
of the hoys has gone to railroading and
another is puny. Well he is not down
in bed tick but he is not ahh
enough <o do hard lvork at it,
but just feeble enough tomCt a-fishing
and set on the hank and get the biggest
bites and catch the smallest fish in the
creek. Mrs. Arp is mighty particular
about her children when their eyes look
hollow and they complain of pains and
she is a mighty good doctor, hut she
knows I have no time to get sick, and
so it’s William this and William that,
and the other day me a quar
ter of a mile off, and when I came a
puffin’ ar.d blowin’ she said the wonder
curtain had fell dewn and wanted me
to fix it. Soum more new' dirt was
wanted for the nower pots and boxes,
and I had to bring her samples from
seven fence corners before I got the
right kind, and the big old fi-h gerani
ums that don’t smell good nor look pret
ty had to be divided and set out in the
ground, and the scuppendine vine had
to have an arbor built and two more
coops for the little chickens that were
hatching out had to be fixed up, and
the new-born ducks had to have their
tails cut off and the peas w r ere to stick
and the little chaps are alw r ays saying
papa this and papa that, and yesterday
I had to take a basket and a digging hoe
and go w r ay down in the meadow, and on
the creek, and dig tip lillies, and violets,
and all sorts of wila flow'ers for them to
plant in their little flower gaiden, and
they had to have hen’s eggs, and pigeon
eggs blowed out to paint and dye and |
fix up for Easter, and I had to make
’em a draft board, and saw spools in two
for draft men, and dye half of ’em with
ink, and it’s some new thing every day
to do, and it is a good tiling for a family
to have a wiliing horse to work in any
sort of harness, and though I sav it my-.
self I’m that sort of a horse, and I think
it suits me, for it is a varvgated labor j
and less monotony in it than all-day
work at one thing, and it changes the j
muscles and lets one set rest while an- j
other set is at w’ork, and so a man don’t
get tired at all unless he wants to. Ii
thought I was going to dodge the pota-1
to slip business this year, hut I had to
go at it, and I feel to-night like J was a |
hundred years old in the back ; but Mrs. j
Arp got me up a good supper, for she '
knew I’d couie a grumbling, and besides j
1 brought her some sweetshruhs and j
white honeysuckles from the woods, and I
these were her favorites in the days of I
auld lang syne, and yesterday I cleaned
out the old rubbish in the flower-pot for
her, for she said she knew there was a
snake in there somewhere and I didn’t
find the snake but found two eggs in a
nest aud she wasn’t right sure they
wasn’t snake eggs until the oid hen come
cackling out of there this morning.
MRS. art’s work.
But my work won’t compare with
hcr’s by no means, for there’s an ever
lastin sight of sewing and patching and
darning going on all the time and she
never gets done and every week’s wash
ing is to look over and sort out and the
missing buttons to sew on and the rents
to close up and tlie churning is to do,
and sometimes the dasher goes flippitv
flop for two hours before the butter will
come, and now she is teaching the little
chaps to write little letters, and when
they get into mischief and have to come
to headquarters, they come a little the \
Highest of getting a wljippin of any
children in the world, only they don’t j
quite get it, and I haven’ kept any ;
book account, hut my opinion is that j
not less than 1,700 whippins have been !
promiied ’em, and are now due and i
unpaid. I overheard a voice say the
other day r ,“now, Carl,l will whip you for
that,” and I echoed in gentle accents,
“about what time,” hut Carl got it on a
credit as usual.
Nabor Dobbins had had eleven sheep
killed last Sunday by the dogs. I bring
mine up to the fold every night, but
still I’m on the expectation all ihe time,
and still I wonder if there is no remedy
and never will be for these sort of dis- j
asters—these little troubles that exas- j
perate a man and make him grow old
before his time. Life is full of ’em and !
I reckon they are sent upon us to make !
us get tired of life and the better to fit j
and prepare us for heaven. £ hope so.
