Oh. the beautiful home of the sunset, Hung out on the western sky, Where tha days lay down their brightness, And bathing in splendor die ! Sweet friends in the home of our childhood, The gentle and loving ones, stand Gazing out as wo enter life's wildwood In search of , the sunset laud. Full soon do the meadows grow broader, And rough the path where we stray. Less frequent the full gushing fountains. And the sunset seems further away. And the friends who have journeyed with us, We lay with the mouldering de id ; They have reached the bright sunset before us And lonely the pathway we tread. But the floods of moulten glory W. Jeh beam from the sunset hind Fill our hearts with a restless longing On those bcaut ful shores to stand. Ouv locks, once sunny and golden, Are white as the drifting snow ; Our eyes have grown dim with their gazing, And our foci: terare feeble and slow. As we near the eternal splendor We pause at the swellllng stream : We must cross it ere reaching the hiUiop.s Which glow iu tlie sunset's beam. So, eloring our eyes for a moment In tire sun’s List dazzling ray, We awake where glory dvvelletii, iu a lumx of perpetual day. m W ■"!< r mmmrnmm m Poor Richard s Maxims.

A certain faithful teacher deter min* ed, in his school of twenty six pupils, to stop whispering entirely. Having forbidden it, he made it a chief busi ness one day to watch for violations of his rule, lie observed one or two only. O.i the imxt day there was scarcely an offense; and on the third, he gave special attention, but perceived none at all. He determined to make thorough work. Lit had devoted himself three days to the accomplishment of his pur pose, and he flattered himself that lie hud succeeded. But determined to leave no room for doubt, at the close ot‘ school ou the third day, he presented eaca pu pila small clip < r paper, and requested each one who had whispered that day to put a certain mark ou the paper, the object being not to catch the offenders, 1 but to furnish testimony to the attempt. The teacher collected the papers, but thought it prudent not to examine them until he was alone. When he reached his room and nurd, the examination, he. found that only tweniv*five out of twen* ty*six, according to their testimony, had whispered that day ! This story has a moral ; in fact, it has several, but we leave our leaders to make their own re* flections. Scene, a butcher s stand.

I!’ a man were to say to me tlrat the moon was made out of a monkey, I would say nothing, and let him have his own way ; either, first because “he was a fool and had nr sense,” or. second, he anew better, and wanted to provoke ar gument; and I have seldom found argu ment on any subject, especial!/ ou polo tics or lel gion, either profitable or ■ig enable.

W hen a person has been kept from eating several hours beyond it is usual tiu.e, instead of eating lust and heartily he should take his food with delibera tion, and only half as muih as if he had eaten at the regular time.

Brest eaters never live long. A vo racious appetite, so far from being a sign ot health, is a certain indication of disease* some dyspeptics are always hun gry, feel best when they are eating, hut :ts soon as they luive eaten they enter torments, so distressing in their natu e as to make the unhappy vic’iu: wish for death. The appetite of health is that winch inclines moderately to eat, when eating time conies, and win efl, ’when sat islied, leaves no unpleasant reminders ileal business men, shrewd and keensighted, care very little about let ters of reecommendation from anybody, knowing that human nature is very uc c nmii:.dating in giving what costs noth* ing more than writing a few well-ex* pressed sentences. They know that truth.lies in things, net words; in what they see, rather than in what they hear. A youth vould not get a clerk* ship with the recommendation of every Governor in the nation, if ho entered a i counting-room with a cigar in his mouth, a earn* in his hand, and a diamond ring on his linger. Amusement is as much a necessity to the mind as food to the body. Tlie mind is vivified by p’easurable recrea tions, as much as the body is sustained by a nutritious diet. Whatever begets pleasurable and harmless feelings, promotes healtlij; arid whatever induces disagreeable sensa tion*. endangers disease. No man was made to be a loafer ; it ie a crime againt one’s self, a crime against society, a eri ' e against the Merciful One. who has enacted the utii* versul law, “ In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread,” with the added injunction, “ Jle diligent in business.” If a man in good health has not eat en anything for some days, he will die if he eats heartily. When persons are found in an almost starving condition, light food, in small quantities, and at short intervals, is essential to safVty. The more out-door air and cheery sunshine a man can use, the longer he will live. How Egyptian Women Dress. Egyptian ladies walk about the streets upon shopping expeditions (in which I am told they take ati even more raptu rous delight than my own fair country women) enveloped in a hideous black garment, not unlike the dismal robes of the Roman Confraternito, which effec* t uu lly conceals the attractions nature has bestowed upon them, as well as those and e to the adornments vf millinerv and jewehy. But English ladies who enjoy the priveltge of tree access to some* of <he leading Egy'ian harems have in* formed me that this shapeless, lugubri ous vestment covers toilets of the great est splendor in material and color and bijouterie that might awaken envy in the bieast of many a tit let. Western dame. I have listened to thrilling accounts of lockets as large as turkeys’ eggs, both faces of which are covered with bril liants of the first water the size of good ly chick peas; of complete “costumes” from Worth and Mine. Eiise; of ropes of pearls that would have “sickled o’er wit i the cast of thought ” the lavish impulses of Lothair himself; of rubies," emeralds, and sapphires, scattered with flue profusion over the surface of unde niable if somewhat exubertant charms A8 the Egyptian ladies so the Egyptian houses. What they are compiled to exhibit to public gaze is of a simplicity !V qnearly amounting to ug’iness, while h t which hey esevve fir private in* G' Jti n is g rg'eous and ornate in the 1 extreme. ot-I>oor Exorcise. I suppose it is hardly possible to compute the amount of suffering caused to women and girls by the lack of reg* ular daily cxer ise in the open air.— Children from three to ten years old seldom fad to insist upon enough out door play to satisfy the demands of health. Busy housewives, too. who are compelled by the family necessities to use freely every muscle in the body, and that, too, every day, do not feel this lack so sensibly. Those who suffer most are young girls who have nothing spec ial to call tlmmout, and C e vasr multi tude of women, who, keeping help enough to do the rougher housework, spend their time at the sewing machine or with the children. To all such a brisk walk taken with perfect regulari ty every day and in all weathers would be an inestimable boon. They vould this exercise no loss, of time. It would quicken the circu'aticn, brighten the eye, energize and vitalize the whole system, so that more would be accom plished on an average with the walk than without it. I have in my mind an illustration of this truth. My seatti* stress, who is also my friend, and who spends many weeks at the house every year, when she lirst came to help me would sew patiently and industriously through the long hours of the day. scarcely changing her position. She would be so t ; red and nervous when night came, that rest and sound sleep were almost impossible. 1 said to her after a time—“ now you shall go with me to wuilk every afternoon. You can easily make up the hour if you desire ; at any rate I believe it will be better for both of us to nave you take some out, door exercise ” Binee then we have made i; a rule to spend an hour out doors every day, and I am sure the flan has worked to our mutual advan tage. Outdoor amusements, croquet, bah, horse*baek riding, etc , should be provi ded an abundance for growing girls.— 1 am always glad to sec a farmer’s daughter helping him w ith his out-door work. I know while she is aiding her father, she is also building up her own health. Teach the girls to drive, give them colts to break which shall be their own to ride afterwards, encourage them to make gardens, ask them to run er rands, to do anyth ng that will keep them out of doors. If mothers could only realize that not only themselves but their babies wuuid be vastly benefited by exercise in the fresh air. they would take more pains to avail themselves ol Hti.s tomc wIhG; ;s*t > be bed “ without money and without price.” More ba bies are killed every y< ar by close rooms and impure air, t ! an by exposeure to cold. Take yourselves and give your children freely that best of'medicines —that Divirestimulant— an abundance of fresh air. Teticliiug Children Courage. Courage is a vital element of Chris* tiau chiva’ry. Without it, indeed, neither truth or fidelity to promise can be hoped for. The coward is sure to lie when truth means punishment, and sure to retreat from his engagements when they invo’vc peril. We need valiant souls that have 1 \irned to en dure and scorn pain, and to face danger fearlessly and promptly when duty re* quires. Some parents evade this vital part ol training by glosses and decep tion. A woman who has taken her boy to the dentist to get a tooth out will oD ten say, if he is shrinking: “ Sit still, my boy, it won't hurt you.” Now she knows it will hurt him, but thinks if she can only get him by this devi.-e to let the dentist get hold o:’ the tootht then his discovery of the pain will no, hinder its extraction. This is a double mistake. It destroys her boy’s confi dence in her ; for he defects her in a lie ; and though it gets th< boy this time to sit still, it is under the delusion that there is to be no pain, whereas he should be taught to bear the pain to scorn it. This is the difference between the cowards and heroes. A regiment ofj;ilfroons could march up to a battery as cheerfully as a regiment of heroes, if they tbought there was no enemy at the guns. The difference is that heroes know the danger and yet face it valiantly. Out of the exuberance of Ins heart a Galena man warbled, *• When the Springtime Comes, Gentle Annie," and at the conclusion of the first verse he was remind and by his wife of the fact that when spring did come the children would have to have a new suit of clothes, the house a fresh c uu of paint, and the madame a stylish bonnet an 1 tie back; a £1.700 mortgage would have to be lifted, a woodshed built, a spa-e bed'room furnished for his tooth? er-in>law, who was coming to stay all summer, and sundry other little matters looked alter.— Wnshinjiori Chronicle.

'J he other muruing he went down to breakfast i_. a tiue humor, and thought lie would have some fun wLh the landlady. While he and the other boarders were plaster ing their hot cakes with butter. Jones called out from his md of the table to the solemn man next to the landlady’s eiid of the board f “ Mr. it hod as, be so kind as iO re quest that butter to amble in this di icetion ?” •Several parties smiled, and the land*, lady cast a threatening look at .Jones, but he a.ted as though he didn’t see it, and soon remarked : “ if 1 was as strong as lids butter, 1 would hire out to a circus and travel around, having big pictures in ten col ors stuck up on tenues and dead walls, showing me utf as * The Man with the iron Jaw,’ holding up black tea boxes marked * fifteen pounds ' in white paint 1" ‘■Mr. Jones/’ sharply demanded the landlady, “ was it you that went stum bling up stairs at 1 o’clock this morn mg, singing, ‘ das was gooter lar-ger beer/ or something of the sort ?"

The next minute he was flying out through the ball dour in to the -street, and the landlady was just far enough behind to miss when she grabbed at his coat tail. As Julies stopped to tell a policeman what the row was about, she icformed him : “Mr. Jones, you impudent, drunken rascal, i'll take a distress warrant and two constab es to get your rags and duds out of here, and they had better be quick about it too !’’ And now Jones is boarding else where “in a quiet neighborhood," he says — Excharxjc. fiiggliag Girls. The Te-Ues. Perhaps you It.n’t know them by that name; well, then,suggest a better. They are the salt of our so ciety, in one sense — girls of good minds, tfat wiil be good if they survive the g’ggling age, girls of good families, well dreaed, polite, and linedooking, but possessed of the insane idea that they must laugh upon all occa ions, whether there is any’ hing to warrant it or not, else they are nut jolly, gay girls, aud lively company. A bevy ol them came into the Public Library the other day ; oner had just had an adventure which was to be recited ; she dropped into a chair, bent over and held her sides and they ail chorused in. They hadn’t heard it yet, but, of course, it would be awful funny when it was told. Hhe was com ing up K street when she stepped on a rotten plank—te, he, he—chorus, te, he, and down she went. O dear —te, he, he—and her foot got tangled —lull cho rus, te, he, he, he —and a man came along with a horrid check shirt on —he. he, he —big cheeks ; perfectly horrid— he, he —and help and her up —he, he, he ; then a waving of the bodies back and forth and a grand to, he, ad libitum, all together.

Then another girl took it up and said her book was so comical she just howled over it —tie, he, he —they must all read it, they would laugh so ; as it that was the chief end and aim of a 1 girl’s existence. \V ben a man is amus sod he laughs with gusto, and then straightens ms lace tilt next time, and i it has some meaning, but the perpetual grin or giggle is detestable.
