Not one'conld tell, for nobody knew,
How the dainty little blossom grew,
Or why it was pink, or why it was blue,
This child of the alarm, the sun and dew.
No one could tell, for nobody know,
Why love was made to glnddcn a few,
And hearts that would forever be true,
Go lone and starved the whole way through.

There arcfew things more devastating than
a goat-in-thc-front-yard. It lays waste the
flower-bed and devours the croquet arches,
balls, and mallets. If there are any iron
chairs or lounges on the front. pinzza,thc goat
is Curtain to nibble them, and seldom leaves
them without consuming a leg or two. What
is the best remedy fora case of goat-in-thc-
front-yard is still an open question. Any at.
tempt to drive him out with clubs is sure to
end disastcrously. Either hc tramplcs down
every vestigc of flower or shrub, or he. turns
upon the driver and butts all interest 111 life
out of him. There was once a globular man
——one who was so fat that his summit was as
high above the level of the sea when he was
lying on his back as it was when he was
standing on his fut. This man tried to drive
agent out of his frontjyard and was butted for
several consecutive hours. It is well known
that when a goat has once knocked a man
down he stands over him, but refrains from
resuming the attack until his victim is on his
feet again. The globular man was knocked
down at the first blow, and remained per-
fectly quiet; but the goat, perceiving that
his victim's height remained undiminished,
imagined that the attempt to knock him had
failed, and so went at him again. The per-
severance that animal showed did him infi.
nite credit. Having taken the contract to
knock the man down, be determined to butt
it out on that line if it took all day. Blow
after blow was rained upon the unfortunate
globular person, who was gradually rolled
across the lawn until he brought up against
the wooden casing around the cistern. It
took the goat nearly an hour to butt him
through this casing, but. he ultimately suc-
ceeded, and when the man was subserjuently
taken out of the water he was found to be
flattened to a uniform thickness of two inch-
es. lle may, however, have been more mal-
leable than an ordinary man. -
As for poisoning agent, all naturalists agree
that it is impossible. An animal that can eat
tin cans, hoop-skirts, boarding-house beef-
steaks, and mince pie to any extent with com-
plete impunity cannot be affected by apy less
deadly substances. Strychnine, arsenic, and
even prussic acid are to the goat nothing more
than spices, and have no other effect than
‘ that of stimulating his appetite. Of course,
it is possible to shoot a goat, but, unfortu-
nately,n .gun makes a loud report,and attracts
the attention of the neighbors. It is a curious
provision of nature that goats are always own-
ed by large and athletic Irrshmen. A slight,
consumptive Irishman often owns dogs,chrck-
ens and pigs; but he never owns a goat.
Now, to shoot a goat is to invite a visit from
a vigorous and belligerent Irishman, and if a
man is to be batted, the goat will do it more
artistically and with better taste than his own-
cr. Since, then, a goat-in-the-front-yard can
neither be driven out nor poisoned, and can-
not be shot without extremely unpleasant
consequences, it really seems as though the
evil were incurable.
There is, indeed, one remedy which has
been extensively advertised, and which is
honestly believed in by many persons who
have never tried it. It is knownasthe dried-
npple cure. The victim of goat-in-thc-front-
yard leaves a bushel of dried apples and a
bucket full of water where they will attract
the attention of the animal. The goat eats
the dried apples, drinks the water, and imme-
diate‘ly begins to swell. He swells to enor-
mous dimensions, and finally—so it is said—
explodcs, with a tremendous report, and is
scattered all over the country in pieces too
small to admit of identification. Of course,
the explosion is heard by the Ineighbors, but
the instantaneous disappearance of the goat
removes all ground for suspicion; .
- There is a man in Oshkosh—Mr. C. L.
Babcock, formerly the efficient and popular
third assistant clerk in the Lumbcrmcn’s and
Cat-Fishers’ National Bank-«who lately heard
of the dried-apple remedy and resolved to try
it. He sent to a Chicago provision store and
obtained a bushel of dried apples of the most
virulent character and placed them, together
with the supplementary bucket of water, {in
his front parlor, so that he could _enjoy the
explosion without going out of doors. Mr.
Babcock had been exceedingly troubled by
goats and was particularly proud of his front
yard, which he had laid out with great care
and had surrounded with a fence of novel
pattern and great cost. Early in the morn-
ing the expected goat buttcd the front gate
open, entered the yard, was lured into the
parlor by the display of a hoop-skirt, and ate
the apples. He was an exceptionally long
and narrow goat, and was so persistently thin
that it was generally thought that nothin, not
even silver-plated forks, could fatten him.
In due time he drank half the bucket of wa-
ter and began to swell. Mr. Babcock was in
ecstacies. He lit his cigar and sat on the
, front piazza, lookmg through the window,
and, with his watch in his hand, noting'hOw
long it would be before the explosion. There
probably never was a goat who swelled so
tremendously as did that particular goat. At
the end of an hour he was—as Mr. Bnbcock
is prepared to assert—at least fifteen feet in
circumference. Nevertheless, the looked for
explosion did not occur, neither did the goat
seem to feel uneasy. He roamed around the
room, knocking down the furniture, and oc-
casionally butting the piano. The disgusted
Mr. Babcock would have tried to drive him
out, but had the door or the windows been
twice as large as they were the expanded
goat could not have passed through either of
them. In his desperation, the disappointed
man tried to shoot the animal, but the shot
rebounded from his elastic sides and shatter-
ed the mirror. There was nothing to be
done but to wait until the goat should regain
his usual proportions. S’nd then to try to drive
him out of the room.
That swelled goat never collapsed. He is
still fifteen feet in circumference, and he can-
not bc got out of the parlor without previous-
ly tearing down the wall. People come from
all parts of the country to look at that goat,
and Mr. Babcock has been sued by an Irish-
man for feloniously taking poscssion of his
goat and refusing to return it.

Preaching to Chidrcu.
How many pastors fail in this. They feed
the sheep, but not the lambs: these do not
receive their portion in due season or meas-
ure. Poor little children! How often do
they sit la the pews, weary and worn, dur-
ing the long sermon, while the loaves of the
auctuary are passed over tLeTr heads to adults
but hardly a broken crumb for them! We
are pleased to learn that Rev. John A. Ham-
ilton, pastor of the First church. Norwalk,
has successfully introduced the custom of
preaching a children’s sermon every Sunday
morning, about ten minutes long, immediately
after the Scripture lesson, before “the long
prayer," and upon the same subject as the
main discourse, which. follows the second
hymn. The experiment has been very suc-
cessful. Adults are as much interested in
the children‘s sermon as the children them-
selves. Will not other pastors try it and re-
portl—Religc'ous Herald.

LE DENIES SIGNING TILE DEFOREST PETITION
AND IS NOT A CANDIDATE'FOR RENOMINATION.
To the Edi ’. r.
The public press is often Spoken of as the
great fe’ducaticn of the people. But the value
of the cducatior, of course depends upon the
honeStyfintelligence, and means of informal
tion possessed by those who control it. What
a brightly favored community is ours, bless-
ed as it is with -a press controlled by gentle-
men of the high order of intelligence possess-
ed by the Messrs. ,Dyington & Ells. What
rare facilities they have for obtaining infor-
mation!’ .71“va Of them live among us, and
are, therefore, able to to“. the people of this
section ”or our'Statc who has built a new
house or barn, Or put an addition to any of
his buildings, or has erected or painted or
even intendsto paint his fence; and the
other, thanks to the kind and fostering care
ofja paternal government, is enabled to reside
at the capital Of the nation surrounded by
his family and all his wife’s relatives, and in-
form us every 'week what the servants of the
people have done and what they have neg-
lected to do. Think for a moment of the
great and salutary'induenc‘s exerted by such
a genius upon the legislation of the country I
W‘unt would our representative form of gov-
ernment be worth vithout this man to super-
vise, advise and revise the action of the rep-
pressntatives of the people? One thing,
however , troubles all minds of an enquiring
and investigating character, and especially
those whose faculties are quickened and
trengthencd by readingthe Gazelle. We are
continually puzzled to; determine which is
of most value, the information furnished as
by the home editors about our neighbor's
houses, barns and other buildings, or that
which comes from the seat of government
and the pen of the senior editor. Doubtless
the people are unwise to trouble themselves
with this connundrum. Rather should they
be thankful that a wise Providence, for
some inscrutable purpose, permits these men
to give them so much varied and valuable
jinformnaion “at the low price of $2 per
year in advance, single copies 5 cents ;" but.
as I know this is the principal question
presented to the mind, from reading that
paper, I propose to give my solution of _it.
I have come to the conclusion that the cf-
forts of the home editors are more brilliant
and valuable to their readers than those of
the senior editor who writes from Washing-
ton, and for this reason : The former always
know what they write about. They can see
the houses, and barns erected; they know
generally when a man is painting his
fence, if they 886 Mm at the work, and
they are thus able to comprehend the
subject upon which they write, and for
this reason their editorials are generally
well writtenand can be relied upon. This,
I regret to say, is not true of the productions
of the senior editor, especially of those writ-
ten from Washington. He is often—perhaps
I should say generally—faucet in his state-
ment of facts. As works of fiction, I con-
sider those Washington letters a valuable
contribution to the literature of the day;
but I submit that by indulging in such fre-
quent flights of fancy and drawing upon his
imagination wholly for his facts be rather
impairs his usefulness as a public instructor.
If he cannot correct this error, I trust he will
be persuaded to try his hand at the writing
of a dime ,novcl. Now, Mr. Editor, I am
not blaming him for his inexactness in writ-
ing about his neighbors and friends. Why
should genius be tied down by dry facts when
his brilliant imagination enables him to con-
ceive of things so much more attractive?
And, besides, he has been so long in the
habit of stating things ashe thinksthcy ought
to be, or as ho imagines them to be, without
any regard to the matter of truth, that
doubtless he cannot avoid this error. As a
last means of reforming him, I propose to
submit to him a system of rewards and pun-
ishments. During the eight months past my
friends have from time to time called my
attention to some things he has published
about me. The following are some of them :
1. That I voted both ways on the Silver
Bill. (The Blandbill, I suppose he means.)
2. That I have given my vote for Rebel
claims. - ~
3. That I signed the petition for the ap
pointmcnt of my law partner, Mr. DcForcst,
to the ofllcc of State’s Attorney. (The only
reason I did not sign it was that I never saw
it, and had no opportunity.)
4. That the people of this State are mainly
indebted to Senators Eaton and Barnum and
Representatives Waite and Phelps for the ap-
propriations for her rivers and harbors.
5. Without stopping to enumerate further,
I will take all the statements made by him
which any way reflect upon my character as
a Representative or a citizen. 1
As to all the above, I make him this propo-
sition: For every one of those statements
which he proves to the satisfaction of 21 ref -
crce to be chosen by us, I will pay to any
public charity, to be designated by him, the
sum of twenty-five dollars; and for every
one which he fails to prove he shall pay a
like sum to some public charity, to be deslg.
nated by me. I name Lion. Asa ll, Wood.
ward as the referee, and allow him two
months to make his ;proof'. As to all the
above allegations of Mr. :Byington,l say
that they are false in every particular, and
that he either knew them to be false or he
knew nothing about them. I further say
that he knows nothing of the proceedings of
the meeting of the Judges, in relation to the
appointment of a State’s Attorney. Those
proceedings are private, I will pay $25,
upon the terms above stated, if he will pub-
lish in his paper the name of the Judge who
gave him the information he pretends to have
and the information given him.
To hide behind ,a fence and throw stale
eggs at one passing is quite as honorable busi-
ness, as to attack one, as Byington has me,
in the columns of his paper. A low-bred
and dirty scoundrel wtll sometimes do these
things from a love of them. One with the
instincts and training of the gentleman will
only do them from malice. What prompts
him, I will not pretend to say.
He says he is watching “with unwonted
interest, further developments” in relation to
my renomination. That is strange! I sup-
pose every one knew, who cared to know.
that I neither desired nor expected the nomi-
nation two years ago, and that 1 am not a
candidate for renomination. I have no de-
sire to represent this district in Congress. I
propose soon to open an office in Norwalk
for the practice of law; and this suggests to
me that some months since a poor merchant
tailor, who lives in this Congressional Dis.
trict, consulted me about the collection of a
bi" for clothing 'long since purchased and
amounting to more than $1,200. Now, if
you prefer it, we will agree that all sums
paid by either of us, under the reference
above provided for, shall be paid to this
tailor upon this bill. Lavr Wartsnn.

The London ll’orld says this is the true
story of Prince Gortschukofl and the dog:—
Upon the occasion of his paying a visit to
Bismarck, his foot accidentally slipped, and
he was upon the point of falling. Bismarck
rushed forward to assist him, when. his dog,
which is trained to attack all unwelcome in.
truders, mistaking his master’s movement for
ahostile ones immediately flew at Gortscha,
koff’s throat, and in a moment both princes,
with the dog on top of them, lny sprawling
upon the floor. The shock caused by this
contrctcmps, following upon a surfcit of
strawberries, is supposed to have occasioned
Prince Gortschakolf’s indisposition, though
there are some who are of opinion that it
was merely assumed as an excuse in order
that he might have an opportunity of prcpnrv
ing a long speech at his leisure.
Amaniin Cardiff, Wales, who had been

weeks had been 8 low as to be fed with a

The Tobacco Habit.
Is it a sin? The New York State Associa-
tion of Congregational Ministers seem to have
come wcll nigh to such a conclusion; for in
their sessions last year at Gloversville they
adopted without dissent, the following rest-
lutions: .
1. That the tobacco habit is an enormous
evil; and on account of its waste of money,
positive injuries to health, and pernicious ex-
ample to the young, Christians ought to
abandon it.
2. That this Association earnestly recorr-
mend to all our churches thorough mess in 8
for instructing the people as tothe manifold
mischrefs flowing from the use _of narcotic
drugs as well as drinks; and that special of-
forts bc made to guard children and youth
from any and every use of tobacco.
The losses and wastes to our country, from
smoking and chewing of tobacco, are clearly
enough shown by the Internal Revenue Re-
port, to be two hundred millions of dollars.
a: least, annually, and of course largely prc-
ducc the pauperism and vagabcndagc which
are alreadya national peril. But the New
York Association justify their solicitude
chiefly by such considerations as follows :
Dr. Willard Parker, eminent authority of
New York city, says: “It is now many years
since my attention was called to the insidi-
ous, but positively destructive, effects of -to.-
bnceo on the human system. I have seen a
great deal of its influence upon those who
use it and work in it. Ciglr and snuff man-
ufacturcrs have come under my care in hos-
pitals, and in private practice; and such per—
sons cannot recover soon, and in a healthy
manner, from cases of injury or fever. They
are apt to die in epidemics. and more prone
to apoplexy and paralysis. The same is true
also of those who smoke or chew much.”
These statements receive confirmation in Dr.
Stille’s great work on Materiu Medic-n. See
Vol. 2, pp, 373, 374.
That recent and vcr'y able work, by Dr.
Richardson of London, entitled “Diseases of
Modern Life” (pp. 321, 322,) presents this
startling arraignment and warning to parents:
The effects of tobacco, often severe, even
on those who have attained to manhood, are
specially injurious to the young, who are still
in the stage of adolescence. In these, the
habit of smoking causes impairment of
growth, premature manhood, and pkg/31ml
prostralt'on. If a community of youths of
both sexes, whose progenitors were finely
formed and powerful, were trained to the
early practice of smoking, and if marriage
were confined to the smokers, an apparently
new and physically inferior race of men and
women would be bred. Such an experiment
is impossible as we live; for many of our
fathers do not smoke, and scarcely any of
our mothers—and so (chiefly to the credit of
our women be it said)thc integrity of the race
is fairly preserved.
Dr. H. V. Miller of Syaracusc furnishes
the following from reliable records:
A French physician investigated the effects
of tobacco smoking upon thirty-eight boys,
between the ages of nine and fifteen, who
had formed this habit. The result was: 27
presented marked symptoms of nicotine poi-
soning; 23 serious derangement of the intel-
lectual faculties, and a strong appetite for
alcoholic drinks: 3 had heart disease; 8 de-
cided deterioration of the blood; 12 had
frequent nose bleed ; 10 disturbed sleep ; 4
ulceration of the mouth in its mucous mem-
brane.

Love Among the Flowers.
CUI'ID RAISING THE H1803”? IN Till FLOWER
BID-
’Twas morn. '
The orb of day was shining as bright
bootblack.
Every flower had rose from its bed in dew
time.
In the bed beneath the arbor there was
jcssamine of flowers.
Sweet bees sipped honey and bummed
musical lullabys, while crickets croned with
hilarious mirth. amid sparkling dewdrops and
condensed incense.
“Sweet one let me taste thy tulips," avoice
said.
“Begonia don't suit me air," was the reply.
“0h fair one, wouldst thou have me peony
way for the love of thee ?"
“Sir, thou cans’t not win me, thou hast no;
anemone.”
“Woulds’t thou drive me where the wood-
bine twineth, cruel hearted .one 1’" ,
“Bow darcs't thou callalilly such names,
Leave me. "
“Never, unless thy promise is given that
thou wilt forget me not."
“Peas be still. Lettuce have sweet peas."
“Oh, charming one, thou alone cans't give
heartsease to me."
“Never to such a dandylion as thou art.
There is no sweet fern in this, air."
“Oh, sweet one, do not vlolet my feelings
with such paragraphic levity.”
“Away with thee, I say, or I will call my
poppy.”
“Ivy a mind to prostrate myself before
thee, and bathe thy'feet with my kisses.”
“Ah me, I fain would have such larkspurr
ing around here."
“Oh, morning glory of my life. must I thus
be doomed to wither and fade away unloved?"
“Yes, coxcomb. it is so willed."
“Then, by heavens, the fates lilac blazes,
cruel one. As the trellis clings to the rose-
bush would my heart entwine itself about thee ,
Thou dost cast me 03. You say I haven't
anemone. ’Tis false, I have millions of
scents." ’
“What sayest thou 2"
“Ah! methinks thou relentest. Yes,sweet
one, I can purchase for thee corn silk for
dresses, such as a princess will envy.”
"Thou'rt not as bad as I thought thee.
There’s many a cowslip 'twixt buttercup and
lip." . .
“Then thy stubboruess doth will 1"2
“Aye, dearest, call in Dominy Cucumber
and let him double as up'st once." -
And as the beautiful orb. of day an]: be-
neath the crimson horizon of a western sky,
two souls with but a single thought lay
sleeping in a luxurious bed of roses. .

American Women and hosiery.
‘_ ‘ “I infer from your remarks that
American women, as purchasers, are some-
what capricious.” _
“They are the most capricious, the most
extravagant women that God ever let live,"
continued he. “I can't begin to. tellall
this nonsense about hosiery. Why, an
eight of an inch in the width of a stripe is
sufficient to ruin a whole invoice of fine
hosiery as aching goods. Stewart was hit
this way recently. They had 20,000 dozen
hose with a stripe that was pronounced a
little too narrow or a little too wide, I
forget which, and they had to sell the whole
lot at less than half cost price in Europe.
And they were difficult to get rid of even at
that."
"This scarcely sounds like hard times."
“Hard times!" reiterated Mr. Berwiclr,
sarcastically. “Times, hard orsoft, makes
no difference in the extravagance of Amer-
.ican women concerning! hose, What do
you suppose is going to be the next rage ?"
I gave it up.
“Lace'stockings,—all 11162 from the toe '
to over the knee—all lace.”
“What sort of hce,évalenciennes it” I .
asked; for having just seen white kid
gloves in the Rue de la Paix annOunced as
‘pateuted,” the whole arm-length Of which
was a series of insertions of finest Valen-
ciennes lace between bands of the kid,l
thought it might be something similar.
“No, not Valenciennes, nor any of that
sort of lace; the opera-work lace of the
stocking itself. 'It will be so‘ transparent
that ladies will have to wenr'a calmed silk
under it."
“That Will be pretty."
“Pretty! I think it the wildest extrava-
gence I ever heard of," said Mr. Berwick.
'"I‘he stockings will be fearfullycxpensive,
and in no at er country save America
will they have a'ntying but a most limited
sale. But once let the American women see
them, and they’l all die but what they’ll have
them, until some new folly comes in, and
then you won't be ableflto sell a pair at one-
fifth its value."
The N ext House.
The republicans are cheered with fresh
hopes of carrying the next House by the in-
vestigation blunder of the democrats; and the
fear that the presidential controversy~ will be
reopened in case both branches of Congress
are democratic, islikely to have considerable
effect in electing republican candidates. ' But
the'democrnts will enter the struggle with
many advantages. Their present majority is
20, even counting Gen. Butler as a republican.
The redistricting of Missouri and Ohio, in-
creases the probable majority which the re-
publicans must overcome to more than 30.
The republicans can hardly expect great
gains in the South even if they succeed in re-
turning the nine representatives ont of stotsl
of 92 which they now have in that section,
and must look to the eastern,n1iddlo and
western states for increased support. From
New England, there are now 22 republican
representatives and six democratic. Three
districts in this section, representing ade-
crease of the democratic majof-ity by six,
may possibly be gained. In the representa‘
tion of the middle states there are 97 mph!)-
lions: and 31 democrats, and of the western
states, 69 republicans and 36 democrats. One
district, that of Colorado, is almost certain
to be gained by the republicans, leaving still ,
a dozen or more districts which therap‘uhli.
cans must find in those states where demo-
crats can be displaced. So the chances would
seem to be that the democrats will contra,
the next House, as well as the next Senate
unless by persisting in‘ some great blunder
they alarm the country and cause a material
gauge in public seritinient- Washington

Tax FLYING Manama—General Edward
W. Serrell of New York, a corresponding
member of the British Aeronautical Society,
says of Bichtel’s flying machine, that it can-
not meet the demands of a practical flying
device, because it presents toonfuch surface
tothe air. Scientific men are,pretty well
agreed on the essential points of such 8 mn-
chine. Dis a matter of mathematical and
mechanical deduction, says General Sorrel],
that “if asteam engine or any 0th“ In?!“
suitable, can be made to give '03 twice 8'
much power in prOportion to its weight, as
our best steam fire-engines now do, men and
merchandise could be carried on the wings,
not of the wind, but of the steam engine,
moving against the heaviest storm, just ssthe
eagle carries her young." Until the problem
of such a moter is solved a practical flying
