The New York Sun asM-rts that “the
mosquito can be readily knocked out by
bunging in the window a bunch of green
pennyroyal herb, or where this is not ob
tainable a few drops of the oil of penny
royal upon the pillow will insure safety
from their attacks and a night’s rest.
Pennyroyal h< rb, however, is common
everywhere.”
ft is well to know the safest kind ol
tree to take refuge under in a thunder
storm. A fanner, who has known of
twenty-eight forest trees being struck by
lightning, says that nine were oaks,
seven poplars, four maples, three wil
lows, and the others were a chestnut,
horse chestnut, walnut, hawthorn and
elm. It is a popular belief in South
Carolina that lightning never strikes the
palmetto.
A piece of ground in Philadelphia,
with a frontage of sixteen feet on Chest
nut and thirty-four feet on Fourth street,
was recently sold for $85,000 or $l5O a
square foot, it was necessary to com
plete a building site in the heart of the
city, and therefore commanded this ex
traordinary figure. This is the highest
price ever paid for real estate in America.
The one next to it, perhaps, was on Wall
street, New York city, where a lot sold
for slls a square foot.
A nugget of gold weighing 150 ounces
and five pennyweights was recently
found near Breckenridge. Cal. It is
worth as a specimen close to $5,000. It is
said to be the largest, lump of gold ever
found in California, but one almost, if
not quite as large, was taken from the
Little Annie mine in Summit District,
Rio Grando County, late in 187(1. Aus
tralia produced the largest nugget of
gold ever discovered. It weighed 13(1
pounds, ami was found at Ballarat near
Geelong.
One of the regrets of the Israelites
when they “in their hearts again turned
back to Egypt,”’ was for the onions
which they used to cat in the land of
their bondage. It is to be noted that
Egypt is again becoming a land of onion
culture. Largo quuntititics are yearly
shipped to Europe from Alexandria and
other ports. A few years ago tho trade
hardly existed, while in two months of
last year alone 14,000 tons were shipped
to Liverpool.
The New Orleans Tiinet-J>e»iocrnt
makes the statement that in recent years
the health of Louisiana has been im
proved fifty pot cent. ••Diseases that
ravaged New Orleans and all the chief
towns,” it says, ••have been kiptout by
belter sanitary methods mid by an effect
ive quarantine. The death rate is forty
per cent, less than in ante helium days,
ami is now ns low as in any portion of
the country; the rate is fifty per cent,
less. If human lite and human health is
to be counted in the balance, Louisiana
has made immense strides forward as
compared with the most prosperous
period before the war."
An electric headlight ha-been recently
introduced on an engine of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
viniehhas given entire satisfaction in
regular ~se, and has achieved some re
markable results in illuminating the
track ahead for a great distance. A pho
tograph was taken by its light on the
railroad near Cleveland, showing the
telegraph poles clearly for three quarters
of a mile ahead. A newspaper has been
read by the light four miles away, and (he
time discerned by a watch at a distance
of nine miles. The reflection of the ■
light in the clouds has been noticed •
twelve mile- away. rhe light used is a
2500 caudle pow. rare light with a special
reflector designed for the p irpose, and a
feed for the carbons, v hit h gives a con
stant light despite the at of the train.
The engine for driving the dynamo is
also of a special type, deigned to over

purpose admirably.
LIFE'S JOURNEY,
As we sfieril out of youth's sunny station
Tho track seems to shine in tho light,
But it sudiloiily shoots over chasms
Or sink into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the morn
bag
Are llilod with repining and fears
As they pause at the city of sorrow
Or pass through tho Valley of Tears.
But the road of this perilous Journey
The hand of the Master lias made;
With all its diacomforts and dangers,
We need not tie sad or afraid.
J'nths haul ng from light int > dirknesv,
Ways plunging from gloom todi-qiair,
Wind out thro’ the tununis of midnight
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho' tho rooks and the shndows surround us,
Tho’ ue catch not one gleam of the day
Above us, fair cit ies are laughing
i And <li]iping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills in the west,
The hist final end of our journey,
There lies the Great Station of Rest.
Tis tho Grund Central jioiiit of all railways,
All roads centre hero when they end;
’Tis tlie final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blond,
All tickets, all niile-books, all passes,
If stolen or begge 1 for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you nt last to this spot.
If you frfiiise at tho City of Troubl
• »r wait in the Valley of Tears,
Bo patient, tho train will move onward
And rush down the track of the years,
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest,
You shall come at tin- last wil.li rejoicing
To the lieautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of worries,
You shall fool perfect peace in this realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair waters,
With joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool, fragrant gardens
With those who have loved you the best,
And (lie ho|s-s that were lost In life's journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.

JOE JO(W.
“Joo Yocum I” called the children after
him, ns he wended his way homewards
through the village of Royalton in the
gathering darkness.
“Ketch him and ehokehim,”he would
reply, his head light and his voice mellow.
The children loved him and he was glad
of their affect ion.
So they lulled to him and in the same
words he would reply, and the musical
rhyme would echo ami re-echo until he
win out of bearing.
Then he was lonely.
His wood-saw and wood horse, the lat
ter on his shoulder, the former In his
hand, were not sociable companions to
him when alone with them in the dark
ness. He rejoiced in their society in the
open day, when his occupation with them
gave licet ncss to the moment, but at
night they were dull fellows to him.
He drew mar to Wjllow lane, a long,
narrow road fringed with tall spreading
willows and very dark on nights when the
moon did not shine. The branches of
the trees interlocked across the driveand
shut out the stars.
Here legend had it Hint BlttCk Hrtm
was burned by enraged citizens. The
black hole in the trunk of one of the big
willow s had been pointed out to Joe ns
the place where the murderer had expia
ted his crime. Black Kain had set fire to
a dwelling and burned the initiates to
death, and on the principle of an eyefor
an eye and a tooth tor a tooth the citizens
had subjected him, while- living, to the
flames.
Joe Yocum, when coming from Royal
ton, had to pass through the lane to
reach his home. So the men and boys
used to tell him to be can ful or he would
some night be seized by the ghost of
Black Sam.
“Too dark in Willow lane for a ghost
to be seen, and the biggest scare 'bout a
ghost is its looks.”
That was his invariable reply to the
cautions of those who sought to work
upon his fears and make him timid.
However, to n ght, as he drew near
the lane lie began to whistle Hie “Arkan
saw Traveler" and pretended to be very
courageous. He wished he could hear
some merry child's voice cry out to him
anil give him some excuse to call back
his favorite salute.
Suddenly he heal'd his name spoken in
the darkness by a sweet voice; but its
gentleness did not prevent his heart leap
ing to his throat and his blood from
plunging madly through his veins.
“Joe Yocum! Joe Yocum!” said the
voice.
Joe put down his wood horse and laid
his saw against it. Feeling lighter and
having more confidence in his ability to
run when he had laid aside his tools* he
recovered his courage somewhat and re
plied banteringly, yet half timidly;
“Ketch him and choke him.'’
“I can’t, Joe ; I am tied.”
Tied! Surely that was the ghost,
for Black Sam had been tied to the tree.
Then the simpleton laughed and said:
"If he's tied how kin he hurt me?”
Then came a reply :
"1 do not want to hurt you, Joe. I
couldn't. But listen."
Joe could not keep his heart down or
his blood -tjll as he L-teneil for the voice
again to sp \k.
A little moan precluded the next re
mark by the voice.
"I am not a ghost. Joe, but a woman
Melinda Thurston an 1 I'm hurt, or 1
would not be lying here. 1 was going to
sen .on: then 1 heard you whistle. Do
you understand, Joe."
“Do 1 understand? Why, 1 kin read
Greek!' Joe replied contemptuously.
There was an academy at Royalton, and
the students had pretended to teach him
Latin and Greek. “Miss Lindy wants
me to carry her home to her doctor papa.
She ell and hurt her an! 1
“Yes. Joe; that is how I hurt myself.
You are no simpleton, though you do act
like one sometimes."
I ike all persons he liked to be consid
ered as the possessor of common --ciise.
He was elated at her praise and stepped
forward briskly to lift her in his strong
amis. As he bent over he thrust his
hand in her face. The darkness was
so dense he hid to be guided by her
xoi e and :O could not avoi I that col
lision.
lie began an apology. She interrupted
him with: “ Never mind, Joe. You
couldn't help it. But I want you to run
just as hard as you can to papa. Dr.
Thurston, and tell him that Widow
Honkin’s baby is very sick from cold
and he must hurry to s ive it. Now rim;
but Joe!” she called after him. He hur
ried back. “Do not tell papa lam hurt,
but if Mr. Fiske is there tell him.”
“Yes, Miss Lindy.”
He left the lane and took the open
fields. He ran like mad, eager love giv
ing speed to his fleet feet. He was one
of the fastest runners of the valley.
The doctor was at home and at once
vet out to the widow s house. Mrs. Hop
kin- was a gieit favorite with the peo
ple of the township of Catharine. Her
husband, a locomotive engineer, had
been killed only a short time before.
She was left poor with Several small
children. Ti e baby was called Joseph
Yo urn Hopkins after Joe, the simpleton
cousin, and was fondly called Josy by
the devtftcd mother. He had been ailing
for a day or two and he was now ill with
congestion of the lungs, There seemed
slight chance for his recovery, yet Melin
da Thurston had bidden Joe hasten while
she lay suffering in the bine, for the child
might yet be saved,
“Drive faster, papa,’* she was tempted
to call out as her father went through
the dark passage, but she knew that
would stop him altogether. So she did
not speak.
Mr. Fiske hitched up the family car*
riage and went to the lane. He lifted
her and took her safely home.
But the simpleton, where was ho? He
had forgotten all about Miss Thurston,
forgotten that he. had left, his wood
horse and saw in the lane, forgotten
everything but that Josy Hopkins was
sick Unto death. After he had delivered
the me sqge Miss Thurston sent to Mr.
Fiske he sped away towards the widow’s
cottage, where his baby playmate lay,
• lying perhaps. Away sped Joe to the
rescue. He leaped fences and ditches
and stopped not until, breathless, he fell
on his face in the yard, where only three
days before lie had sawed some wood for
the widow. On that day the toddler
Josy had made Joe ride him pick-a-back
.and on a see-saw made of a board laid
across the wood horse that now lay for
gotten in the lane. In the yard Joe lay
and recovered his breath. After awhile
the door opened and Dr. Thurston came
out.
“Is he awful sick, doctor?”
The doctor, seeing Joe’s white face in
the dim light from the window, saw how
anxious he was.
“Yes, very sick,” the physician replied,
gently. “You had better stay at the
widow’s to-night, Joe, and I’ll send
Melinda. She would never forgive nte
for not letting her know how ill Josy
Joe still kept Miss Thurston's secret.
He was a faithful fellow and obeyed
orders. Perhaps that was one reason he
was considered a simpleton.
’When the doctor was gone he went
into the cottage. The baby knew at once
who was there.
“Yoe, Yoey,” cried the little fellow.
“Up, yidc, ’orsey.”
Joe looked at the widow. She said it.
would not hurt him if he was well
wrapped. So Joe folded a blanked a’ound
the imby and lifted him out of thecrib.
To weak to ride pick-a-back. Josy lay
heavily on bis friend's shoulder and
pressed Ills hot cheek against his friend's
neck.
Backward and forward paced Joe.
The widow w.is hopeless and silent. The
children in the next room slept soundly;
the breathing of the cOngestfid lungs
alone disturbed the silence of the room.
Joe stepped lightly, his heavy boots
making no noise on the strip of carpet
that was his-course. He never worried.
Faithfully he plodded, his motion lulling
the siek child into a fretful sleep, inter
rupted only now and then by a piteous
pleading from the infant throat, fever
scorched, for a “dink of water. Yoe, funi
de pump: Yoey, funi de pump.’’
The widow would bring it and Joe
stop long enough for the child to gulp it
down ; then the human cradle would re
sume its monotonous motion and soothe
the sufferer to sleep again.
Morning came and the baby seemed
worse, lie was very fretful and would
not let go of Joo, who sat in a rocking
chair and held on firmly, yet tenderly, to
his charge.
The doctor came, and when he saw
how weary Joe was did not utter the re
proof he meant to administer to.him for
not telling of Miss Thurston's accident.
Joe ate some breakfast, but did not sleep
any that morning. Noon came. Josy
had lain all the afternoon on Joe s shoul
der and his fever hid almost burned the
patient nurse. He did not speak to the
child, but when one shoulder got too hot
moved him to the other. At noon Josy I
went to his mother, and Joe snatched
some sle n. Night came; the doctor was
there, and there was little hope for Josy.
“Oh, my poor boy! my baby! my
Josy!” cried the widow. “He will be
taken from me. and it will kill me. I
would work my finger-ends off to pro
vide for him, and I cannot keep him—
he will be taken from me.
“Don’t. Missus Hopkins," pleaded Joe.
“Don’t take on so. When Death comes
for little Josy Joe Yoeuni'll ketch the big I
scarecrow and choke him till he goes
away without Josy.
Many times during the night it seemed
as if the infant was in the grasp of the
King of Terrors, and that Joe was strug
gling witli the sovereign of the body for
the possession of the child. He was con
stantly moving the restless boy from one
shoulder to another, as if to snatch him
from an imaginary hand.
From her window a mile away, by the
aid of a field glass, Miss Thurston, who |
had heard from her father of Joe's
fidelity, could see the window of the
widow's cottage, and could tell when he
passed the window in his unwearying
walk with the • hihl. She knew that the
struggle had not ended every time the
aimpieton's shadow fell on the window.
The dawn stole over the sky and sifted
down through the darkness that lay in
the valleys. Dr. Thurston was still at
the cottage and Joe had not yet been de
feated: that she knew. Then the day
came and with it her father.
“Is it well with the child." she asked
when he came within hearing.
“Yes, it is." he replied. Then became
up stairs aud toll her the touching story
of Joe's belief that he had a< tually fright
ened Di ath away and saved to the widow
her child.
“The fever is broken." concluded the
physician, “and the child, by laicful
nursing, will get well. Blessings on you
for your heroism,” and he kissed her
fondly.
Great was the rejoicing in the widow's
heart, and for the moment Joe Yocum
was rofgottcri.
Where was he now?
Sawing wood nt Judge Baxter's, lie
had promised to have the wood cut that
day and he had hastened to fulfill his
word. He finished the cord and then
went into the barn for a sleep, lie did
not awake until the next morning. As
soon'as he had some breakfast from the
judge’s kitchen he went to inquire fur
Josy. The boy was doing nicely, and
Joe, with light heart but weary bones,
went up the valley to saw some wood for
a fanner.
Next day, then a second, after it a
third, came and went, but no Joe Yocum
called at the cottage to see the boy he
had rescued from death. The widow
became alarmed and sent word to Miss
Thnrston.
“He is sick,” the lady asserted posi
tively. At once she made prepara
tions to visit Joe's home. Her sister ac
companied her and Mr. Fiske acted as
coachman. She left a note “for her fa
ther to follow them. They reached the
■ tumble-down shanty ih which; alone,
Joe Yocum dwelt. Mr. Fiske knocked
I at the door.
“Come in,” cried Joe’s voice, straining
lin the effort to speak londly. “I ain't
■ afeard of you. Yer didn't steal Widily
Hopkin's baby and yer’ll have ter tussle
fer me.”
“He's in delirium,” said Mr. Fiske,
but he was mistaken. Joe recognized his
visitors and greeted them with a smile.
He was very ill. A cold he had caught
in the barn the night he slept there had
congested his lungs and ho was dying of
pneumonia. Dr. Thurston soon came,
but his medicines and skill brought no
relief to JoC.
As the sun drew near its setting Joe’s
lips moved and he raised himself slight
ly. Mr. Fiske assisted him. When sit
ting upright he pointed to the door and
whispered: ,
“Death's workin’ his spite out on me
’cause I wouldn't let him sisal the will—
i dor’s baby. He's coinin' in at that door
and goin’ ter ketch Joe Yocum and choke
him.”
He could not speak again. It seemed
very like as if Death had grasped him by
the throat as he gasped out his life.—

A Drive Io Monterey.
“The sleepy old town of Monterey is
three miles from this place,’’ says a corre
spondent of the Clenlmul writing
: from Pacific Grove,California. “Thedrive
lies along the beach at Monterey bay,
whioh has no rival save the famous Bay
of Naples. Nowhere are the waters of
1 the Pacific Ocean more varied in hue ;
sapphire, opal, emerald, cream white,
topaz atld Crystal of every shade dance
| and glimmer before the eye with never a
repetition or hint of monotony. Twenty
miles in the distance, across this lovely
sheet, lies Santa Cruz, lit the northern
entrance of the bay. If the day be clear
we see it plainly, but more often a fog
or haze intervenes, and we only see the
mountains dimly rising like" sentinels
above the lovely little harbor. The
drive along the beach is one which never
wearies the beholder, for every foot of
the way is historical, and there are many
interesting relics still remaining. A tail
cross inscribed “June 8, 1770,” marks
the spot where Padre Junipcro celebrated
the first mass in this country cf savages,
Still a little further along the road and
we reach the old adobe chnf.h of tho
mission of San Carlos. Time and the
softness of the climate have turned the
walls to a soft, creamy white, and the
old belfry and various niches look quaint
and picturesque above the broad stone,
which bears the date 17IH. The old

A Farmer's Intelligent Mare.
Farmer Wm. 11. Ellis, of Blooming
burg, N. Y’., owns a little mare, called
Whitefoot, that is remarkably intelligent
and kind. Every school-day morning
Whitefoot hauls Mr. Ellie's two little
girls in a wagon to the school-house, a
mile from home, and after leaving the
children there the little ntare turns
around and trots back to her master’s
house* without any driver. When the
school-closing hour approaches, Mr. Ellis
hitches Whitefoot up and starts her off
alone for the szhool-’housc, and in due
time she conies back with the little girls.
She is so careful and expert in passing
vehicles on the road that she never has
a collision or damages any of her horse
gear.
On a recent Sunday night Mr. Ellis's
hired man drove Whitefoot over to
Middletown, on his way to New York.
Before embarking on the cars here he
tacked a piece of paper to the wagon
seat containing this notice: “Don't stop
this inare. She belongs to Wm 11. Ellis,
Bloomingburg, and will go home all
right,” and then, turning the mare's
head homeward, he let her go. Sure
enough, she covered the distance, a long
nine miles, in safety, and at a pace that
brought her home in about an hour.—

Payment by the Hour.
In the “Declaration of Principles" I
adopted find pr<imulgated by the na- 1
tional association crl master builders, it [
is stated that “this association oarnestiy
recommends to all its affiliated associa
tions to secure ns soon as possible, tho
adoption of a System of payment by tho
hour for.all labor perfoniiccl; other than
piece work or salary work, and to obtain
tlie co-operation of associations of work
men in this just and equitable arrange
ment.” In some cities where the system
• J paying sot lulsir by the hour is not
in vogue, thcTU is Some query as to just
what the system includeSi
In Chicago, ever since thegi'ertt fire of
1871, nearly all contractors have bscn in
the habit of paying fv>r their labor l>y
the lioul'j instead of by the day. By
the old custoih Os paying by the day,
still in almost general ttsC; the day was
made the unit of time and of payment.
A quarter of a day was made the small
est division of this unit. If a man did
not work a quarter of a day, he received
no pay. If lie Worked over a quarter of
a day, he received pay sot half a day,
etc. * This is unjust to the labOtiDgman
who works but an hour and is suddenly
called away. It is equally unjust to the
contractor who pays for half a day when
lie oiily receives but a little over a quar-
In the payment by tlie hraw system
tho hour is made the unit of ftieamite,
all time is kept by the hour. If a nlfth
works less than half an hour it is not
counted. If he works over half an hour,
he is credited with an hour.
The number of hours in a day’s work
docs not affect the system at all, and all
contractors reserve the right to work as
many hours as is necessary and agreed.
Overtime is credited as time and a half,
and Sundays ns double time. A man
leaving work without, permission is dis
charged, but when lie leaves with per
mission he is paid for exactly theiimount
of work he has accomplished. This ie
all there is to the payment by the hour
system. Those who have tried it like it
infinitely better than the old method.—

The Lime-Kiln Club.
Tn view of tho recent disastrous ex
plosions and conflagrations in different
sections of the country, the Committee
on Personal Safety and Non-Injury have
recommended the following rules to
members of the club:
“Doan’ scratch a match on yer leg
unless prepared to jump ober de nighest
fence.
“If you know data biler am gwine to
explode, drap down on de ground an’
keep yer mouf shut.
‘ ‘Any pusson who smokes a clay pipe
in bed should kiver de bowl wid a piece
of ole bootleg an’ hire somebody to keep
him awake.
“There should be no smoking in the
vicinity of the club wood-box. Wood
boxes am liable to explode at any mo
ment, an’ when dey does de scene of

de stoutest heart.
“Paradise Hall am liable to take fire
any eavenin’ when a meetin’ »r’ in prog
