An Answer. ,
I. D. CLARE.
Your lines were quite touching my dear little
I friend,
And have touched a sore spot in my heart,
That is if I have an appendage like that,
Or if it forms of my body a part.
You have oft said—as I think you’ll admit,
That ’tis something I never have bad,-
But then it touched something, whatever it
was, - I
And if I do not reply ’twill look bad.
You speak of the “touch of affection," dear
friend,
And again in the very next line,
You compare it with “wings of angrh,” oh
my !
Mixing angels with me‘s very.fine,
But its hard on the angels, and does me no
good, .
For there's no one for a moment believes,
That I’m of the sort with whom angels will
80. \
For e’eu the one on my shoulder oft grieves.
I speak of the one on my shoulder, dear
friend,
For they say there’s one there, without fail,
But I think if there is, she drops off now and
then,
To make room for one wearing a tail.
And it then it is who puts wrong in my head,
And perhaps in my heart, who can tell.
But I’m sorry if so and I'll try to reform,
And let it schassa back into—well—
Then of course I’ll be welcome at all times,
dear friend,
And you will proclaim far and near.
What an excellent man I’ve gotten to be,
And I’ll be received with good cheer.
And then, too, perhaps—but hold on not so
fast? .
Some fair one may love me, ha, ha,
And marry me, too, and then, don't you see,
I would make such a jolly papa.
But roostcd up here on my shoulder, dear
friend,
Is an imp Who is laughing at me,
And he grins as he sits and he shrieks in my
ear,
You’re a goose 1‘ And it never will be.
One ofour Candidates.
rorxrs IN THE Lin or THE GREAT MAINE
SENATOR. . '
In writing even a two-column sketch of a
great man I suppose it is essential that one
should begin at the birth of the individual
celebrated, although in a life so active as Mr.
Blaine’s has been to do this is to record com-
monplace information, while important oc—
currences may be displaced. I did not hap-
pen to be in Washington County, Pa, on
January 31, 1830, when Mr. Blaine- was
born, and it was not my fortune to be a
playmate, schoolmate or collegemate of his,
but from “reliable sources” as the newspaper
men say, I am enabled to state that Mr.
Blaine’s boyhood was much like other men’s.
He had the same troubles, the same quarrels,
the same success, the' same youthful sorrow’s
and the same disappointments. It is only
phenominal men who have no childhood
with the stone-bruises, the chapped hands
and the bloody noses of the'country boy.
I believe James Gillespie Blaine (although
it makes the slightest difference with the
man) comes from fine old Revolutionary
stock ; that his great-grandfather was a brave
and gallant colonel in the PcnnsyiVan'ia Line
in the Revolutionary war; that he lived in
that grand Cumberland Valley, whose golden
fields of grain and bright green meadows
charm all beliolders to the present. day ; that
the Blaine family is still well remembered
in the lovely village of Carlisle; that Colonel
Blaine was an intimate friend of General
Washington (or at least an intimate as that
old aristocrat ever allowed a friend to be);
that he was Commissary General of the
Northern Department of Wrishingron’s army;
that be advanced from his own means
and from contributions obtained by him
~ from his friends large sums of money
toward purchasing supplies for the army
during that tcrrible‘vinter at Valley Forge ;
that Washington attributed the preservation
of his troops from absolute starvation to the
heroic an! self-sacrificing efforts of Colonel
Blaine—these are facts, I believe, suscepti—
ble of proof. But Colonel Blaine is not a
candidate for the Presidency and his great—
grandson is. Mr. Blaine gets his middle
name (Gillespie) from his maternal grand—
father,a pioneer of distinctiop in Western
Pennsylvania. Fortunately or unfortunate-
"ly there is no record of young Blaine, except
that contained in the family Bible, before
he arrived at _the age of thirteen, but I have
no doubt that he was as bright as his school.
fellows and fully as iniscliicvions. I forgot
to say that his father lived in the borough of
Washington ,and was prothonotary of the
county. At {the age of thirteen, in the year
1843, the young boy entered Washington
- College, from which he was graduated at the
head of a large and distinguished class in
1847, when he was only seventeen 'ycars
old. '
Frorii an old Collegemate of Mr. Blainc‘s,
an olllcer of rank and character in the rebel
army,I have obtained some interesting points
regarding the youthful days of this distin—
guished man. At the college, with two or
three hundred students from all sections of
the country, Blaine was from his first en-
trance a leader. Endowed with a splendid
physique, he was foremost in all athletic
sports. He is not remembered as a hard stu-
dent, who burned the midnight oil. It was
not necessary for him to do this, as he learn—
ed everything quickly and easily, and his
standing in his classes was always among the
very first. In the annual commencements and
the frequent contests of the rival literary
societies of the college he was never con— .
spicuous as adebator or wrangler, but he was
known and acknowledged as the power that
managed and controlled all these things.
Goethe has said: “One builds his talents in
the stillness and builds his character in the
storms of the world.”
To the new boys and. young freshmen
Blaine was always a hero. To them he was
uniformly kind, cvcr ready to assist and ad-
vise them and to make smooth and pleasant
their initation into college life. His hand-
some person and neat attire; his ready sym—
pathy and prompt assistance ; his frank,
generous nature and his brave, manly bear-
ing, made him the best known, the best loved
and the most popular boy at college. He
was the arbiter among younger boys in all
their disputes, and the authority with those
of his own age on all questions. He was
always for the “under dog in the fight.”
Like most college boys, he had his sobriquct.
Owing to the fact that he was possessed of a
somewhat prominent, though shapely, pro-
boscis, he received the appellation of “N osey
Blaine,” which clung to him all through his
college life. His was one of those noses that
would have been the pride and admiration
' of Napoleon I, and would doubtless have
ranked high and gained great glory among
the other prominent noses, whose owners
were selected by Napoleon to form the shin-
ing ranks of his favorite generals, as a prom-
incnt nose was considered by him as a true
indication of genius and courage. After the
usual term at college he graduated with
distinguished honor and carried with him
into the world the enduring affection of all
those who knew him and with him whom he
was associated in his alma mater.
From ~' this point in life Mr. Blaine began
to carve out his own future. In those days
the young college graduate did not loaf about
home, a village beau, smoking cigarettes and
devoting most of his time to his hair—at
least Blaine didn’t. He struck out at once
to seek his fortune. It was a very lucky
strikcfor him, for if he had not struck out
had not located near Millersburg he might
never have met Miss I-Iarriet Stanwood, a
woman who will “do him good and not evil
all the days of his life.” But of this again."
Mr. Blaine, after he left college, went to
Blue Springs, Kentucky, and became one of
the professors in the Western Military In—
stitute. In this school there were about 450
boys._ A gentleman now living in Washing-
ton (who was also, by the way. an officer in
the rebel service) was a student in this
school. He w_ell remembered Blaine, and
describes him as a thin, handsome, earnest
young man, with the same fascinating man-
ners he has now. He was very popular
with the boys, who trusted him and made
friends with him from the first. He knew
the given names ,of every one,'and he knew
their shortcomings and their strong points,
and to this day he asks about this boy and
that who went to school at the Blue Lick
Springs, then a popular watering-place. My
friend says that Blaine was a man of great
courage, and during a bloody fight between
the faculty of the school and the owners of
the springs, involving some questions about
the removal of the school, he behaved in the
bravest manner, fighting hard but keeping
cool. Revolvers and knives were freely
used, but Blaine used only his welldisciplin-
ed muscle. Colonel Thornton F. Johnson
was the principal of the school, and his wife
(both most excellent, well-bred and highly—
cultured persons) had a young ladies school
at Millersburg, 20 miles distant. It was at
this place that Blaine met Miss Stanwood,
who belonged to an excellent family in Mas-
sachusetts, ;and she afterwards became his
wife. Blaine, after an experience of a year
or two, discovered that he was not born to
be a school teacher, and he returned to Penn-
sylvania and studied law, but never practic-
cd it. In 1853 he removed to Maine, and
there began a career that has made him to-
day the most talked of and the most popular
’man in the country.
It was in Portland that Mr. Blaine first
became an editor. Iliave often thought that
a great editor, as great perhaps as Mr.
Greeley, was lost when Mr. Blaine went into
politics. He possesses all the qualities of a
great journalist, and I have heard him say a
dozen times that he never will be entirely
happy until he is at the head of a great
newspaper. He has a phenomenal memory,
and there is no quality more valuable in
journalism than this, as you very well know,
Mr. Editor. He remembers circumstances
dates, names and places more readily than
any manII ever met, and it is this wonder—
fully available memory that makes him such
a ready speaker and such a charming com-
panion. He has also great quickness and
accuracy of judgment, another excellent and-
indispensable quality in journalism. He
writes as readly an‘djas strongly as he speaks,
and very rapidly. In many respects he re—
sembles Mr. Greeley as a writer—he goes
straight to the‘ point and wastes no time in
painting with pretty words a background for,
his thoughts. His other qualities for journ-
alism are, he is courageous, he is fair-mind?
ed; he grasps and weighs the events of the
day, and finally, like all good journalists, he
'is a good husband and father and a good
fellow. -
Mi'. Blaine held his first public ofiicc in
1858, when he was elected to the Maine leg:
islatnre.‘ He had already achieved distinc-
tion as a public speaker in the Fremont cam-
paign of 1856. He was five times elected to
the legislature, and in 1861 and again in 1862
he was chosen speaker of the house, in which
position be exhibited the same peculiar fit-
ness for a presiding officer that he showed
as Speaker of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, though it must be confessed that
in the latter office he was _a little too oppres—
sive and autocratic ’
In 1863 Mr. Blaine was first elected to Con-
gress. During his first term he gave himself
up mostly to study and observation, but in
the Thirty-ninth Congress he began to be
felt, and from that time to the present he
has been foremost in all legislation. He has
an aptitude for logislative business that few
possess. He sees the weak and the strong
points in a bill and his judgment is so quick
and accurate that lie is ready to take his
position in a minute as most Congressmen
are after a day's reflection. No doubt Mr.
Blaine has made, like every other man ever
in Congress, a good .many speeches for home
consumption, but in the last ten years he has
done none of this. He has rather avoided
this sort of public service and has taken in-
stead an active practical participation in the
business of Congress. It is hardly worth
while to follow Mr. Blaine through his four-
teen years' service in the House. He always
commanded the attention of the House, and
before he had been three years a member be
ranked with the highest as Ia debater. With
him in the House _werc Thad. Stevens, Ben
Butler, Sclienck, Allisbn, Colfax, Banks,
John A. Binghem, Boutwcll, James Brooks,
Conkling, Dawes, Delano, R. B. Hayes, Geo.
W. Julian, Scofield and other well—known
names. Before the {close of his second
term he had that angry controversy with
Conkling, since become so famous, in which
for the first time in his life, Conkling got a
dressing which did him good. All your
readers will remember that of the Forty-first
Forty-second and Forty—third Congresses
Mr. Blaine was Speaker. . His quickness, his
thorough knowledge of parliamentary law
and of the rules. his firmness, his clear voles,
his impressive manner, his ready comprehen-
sion of subjects and situations and his dash
~and brilliancy made him a great presiding
officer. He managed that most turbulent of
all bodies with an iron hand. His manage-
ment of his own case when the Mulligan
letters came out waf worthy of any general
who ever set :a‘ squadron in the field.
For nearly fifteen: years I have looked down
from the galleries of the House and Senate,
'and 1 never saw and never expect to see
and never have read of such a scene, where
the grandeur of human effort was _better il-
lustrated than when this great orator rushed
down the aisle and, in the very face of Proc-
tor Knott, charged him with suppressing a
telegram favorable ,to Blaine. The whole
floor and all the galleries were wild with ex-
citement. Men yelled and cheered, WOmen
waved their handkerchiefs and went off
into liysterics and the floor was little less
than a mob. The later life of Mr. Blaine is
familiar to all. His transfer to Senate, his
prominence as a Presidential candidate in
1876, the suustrokc on that unlucky July
day, his defeat at Cincinnati, his prominence
in the public eye in the Senate, his admirable
political management in Maine recently and
'his present distinction in the hearts of the
American people—your readers know all
these things as well as I.
Mr. Blainc,with those who know him is the
most popular of men. The charm of his
manner is beyond expression, and nobody
comes within the circle of: his presence that
is not overcome with his fascinations. With
his brillianey he has that exquisite show of
deference to his companions, a sort of appeal
to them to verify or deny his words that is
very taking. He is also a good listener, and
he has a familiar way of speaking onc‘s name
and of placing his hand on one’s knee that is
agreeable salve to one’s vanity. _ There is no
acting in the heartincss of his manner: He
is an impulsive man,with a very warm heart
kindly instincts and generous nature. He is
open, frank and manly.
One element in his nature impresses itself
upon my mind in a very emphatic manner,
and that is his coolness and self-possession at
the most exciting periods; I happened to
be in his library in Washington when the
balloting was going on in Cincinnati on that
hot July day in 1876. A telegraphic instru-
ment was on the 1ibrary,table, and. Mr.
Sherman, his private secretary, ' a (left op-
erator, was manipulatingits key. Dispatches
came from dozens of friends giving the last
votes, which only lacked a few of a nomi—
nation, and everybody predicted the success
of Blaine on the next ballot. Only four
persons besides Mr. Sherman were in the
room. It was a.monicnt of great excitement.
The next vote was quietly ticked over the
wires,and tlicn‘thc next announced the nom-
ination of er. Hayes. Mr. Blaine was the
only 6001 person in the apartment. It was
such a reversal of all anticipatious and as—
surances that self possession was out of the
question except with 'Mr‘. Blaine. - He had
just left his bed after two days of uncon-
sciousness from sunstroke, but he was as“
self-possessed as the portraits on the walls.
'He merely gave a murmur of surpi~isc,.and
before anybody had recovered from the
shock he had written, in his firm, plain,fiucnt
hand, thrce'dis atches. now 'in my posession
—onc to Mr. ayes, of congratulation; one

to the Maine delegates, thanking them for

their devotidn, and another to Eugene Hale
and Mr. Frye, asking them to go persbnally
to Columbus and present his good-will to
Mr. Hayes, with promises of hearty aid in
the campaign. The occasion affected him
no more than the news of a servant quitting
his employ would have done. Half an hour
afterwards he was out with Secretary Fisl’
in an open carriage receiving the cheers of
the thousands of people who gathered about
the telegraph bulletins.
Charming as Mr. Blaine is in ordinary so—
cial intercourse, it is in the family circle that
he is at his best. No man in public life is
more fortunate in his domestic relations. He
is the companion and confidant of every one
of his six children. He is of the same age
and they fear him no more than they fear
one of their own number. Mrs. Blaine is
a model wife, and more is due to her strong
judgment. quick perception and heroic
courage than the world will ever know. Mr.
Blaine. as already stated, has six children.
The eldest. Walker, is a graduate of ' Yale
College and the Columbia Law School, in
New York. He is a member of the bar in
New York, Maine and Minnesota He is
now in St. Paul, in the office of Governor
Davis. The second son, Emmons is at the
Cambridge Law School, having graduated at
Harvard two years ago. Both sons show a
wonderful aptitude 'for politics and their
political knowledge is rather remarkable.
The youngest son is James G. jr., a noble
generous, manly boy of eleven, who is the
picture of his.father. The three daughters
are named Alice, Margaret and Harriet.
- Mr. Blainc’s house in this city is large and
handsome. It is one of a b ock of four—
three others being occupie by Fernando
Wood, Governor Swami of Maryland, and
General Van Vlcit of the army. General
Sherman lives two doors off. Mr. Blaine’s
house is of brick and brown stone and is four
stories high. It is furnished with great good
taste, elegance and comfort. The walls are
covered with pictures. mostly rare engrav-
ingc. Mr. Blaine’s taste runs to engravings
and he is constantly picking up portraits of
distinguished characters. In his house on
Fifteenth street you can see portraits of the
great actors on the world’s stage in all ages.
The walls of his dining room are ornamented
with crossed muskets and sabres and old
pistols grouped upon a shield. These are
souveniers presented by friends and no doubt‘
each weapon has a history. Mr. Blaine’s‘
work room is at the top of his house, where
letters and papers come in by.the bushel
every day. The billiard table is' packed full
of letters answered and unansweredand busy
clerks are hard at work trying to keep up _
with the vast accumulation. Probably
Mr. Blaine receives more letters than any
six Senators in, Congress. It. is his custom
to spend as much time as possible in this
work-room. He is a tremendous worker and
can write more letters in- a‘ given time than
anybody I ever saw. He has a short hand
,writer always at his elbow and he- dictates
every day a large amount of work. '
I have scarcely room enough left to say
that physically Mr. Blaine isthe perfect man.
"You may see him almost any day striding
along the Avenue, going' to or coming from
the Capitol, with the strength of a giant. He
is a strong man and a good walker Who can
keep up with him. He bounds up the step
two at a time, talking and laughing with his
companions. He is wonderfully preserved
and is just in the height of full physical
strength. He does not know what fatigue
is, and a session of fifty hours without a
break turns him out as fresh as a lark, while
nearly all of his colleagues are badly used up.
He is in appearance a very striking man.
Large, full. straight and erect, an immense
head, grey beard cut close and hair fast
whitening; and indeed nearly white and
so ewhat thin on top of his head,and a fresh,
This is as near as I can
come in describing a man who is the first to

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLINY.
The use of reflected sunlight in mines is
suggested by a, California miner. The light
secured in this way is' very brilliant, and all
risk of explosion is avoided. '.
Commander R. E. Harris recounts a strange
experience off the Malabar coast. On a clear
starlight evening a bank of light was observ-
ed» upon the horizon, which gradually ap—
proached until the vessel became completely
enveloped in a greatI mass of luminous mat—
ter. The light appeared to advance in waves
many degrees above the water’s surface, like
a highly luminous mist, and obscured by its
intensity the distant horizon. “If the sea
could be converted into a huge mirror,” says
Mr.. Harris, “and thousands of powerful
electric lights were made to throw their rays
across it, it would convey no idea of this
strange, yet grand phenomenon." This sin- '
gular spectacle gradually faded, although
quite brilliant after half an hour had elapsed.
Mr. Harris believes the light to have been
due to the exciting influence of electromag-
netic currents upon some organic animal or
vegetable substance in the atmosphere. It
seems to have borne a strong resemblance to
the aurora of polar latitudes.
In Germany large quantities of glucose, or
“grape-sugar," is made from old linen rags.
The rugs are converted into dextrine 'by
treatment with sulphuric acid. This is wash- .
ed with a lime solution, when the addition
of stronger sulpuric acid changes the dex—
trine into glucose. The process is economi—
cal, but popular taste revolts against the use
of sweets from old rags, even though the
product is chemically identical with the best
grape sugar. As a consequence the interfer-
ence of the German government with this
industry is anticipated .
A Munich professor thinks it probable that
the molecules of marsh-gas may attain suffi-
cient velocity to carry them beyond the
sphere of the carth’s'attraction, and that the
exhalations of our marshes may thus con—
tribute to form cometary bodies.
The earih turns upon its axis with a sur-
faCe velocity of over one thousand miles at
the equator, while at the poles the rate is re-
duced to zero. A scientific gunner states
that, under special circumstancesdreavy guns
with long ranges have to be corrected for
the different rate of rotation of the-earth' at
the place from which one is fired and at the
point where the shot falls, which difference
may cause as much as twmyards deflection
to one side or the other in‘ firing north or
south. The earth’s rotation is thus actually
made visible.
The chaetodon, a beautiful fish of Japan,
is endowed with a sort of gun to aid it in
securing its prey. Seeing a {fly lighted near
.the surface of the water, the fish gently ap-
proaches. and,aiming its beak, forcibly blows
a drop of water at the unsuspecting insect,
knocking it from its perch into the water
where it is easily seizedv ‘
The Amazon river is said to be decreasing
in volume from some unknown cause, giving
rise to some anxiety among inhabitants along
its banks.
A physician of the French Navy claims to
have diécovered that coffee produces a re-
markable curative effect in early stages of
typhoid fever. He gives adults two or three
tablespoonful of strong. black'cofi’ee every
two hours, alternately with one or two tea-
spoonfuls of claret or Burgundy wine. A
little lemonade or citrate of magnesia is ad_
ministered daily, and quinine after a time.
A LOndon engineer has called attention to
a source of danger on the locomotive which
he thinks may be even more important than
that arising from color-blindness. This is
the dazzling'cffect produced by the glowing
white light of the engine fires, a brief glance
into which renders the eye for a: time unable
to recognize the colors of the signal lamps.
Two German brothers, according to the
late George Henry Lewis, always had sensa-
tions of color excited by sound; and both
were accustomed to designate particular tones
by colors. The shrill womanly tone of some
men’s voices they called yellow; the rasping
voices of others were to them brown. A
case, and found that each tone had a corres-
ponding color to each of the brothers. Thus .
to One the tone “(1" appeared a mingling of
dark blue with brownish violet; to the other
a chestnut~brown with bright streaks. When
they heard the tone “0" they conceived re—
spectively a dark-blue and a peculiar yellow ;
vvhilc “g” was orange and orange-yellow
slightly tinged with blue .
A remarkable occurrence is reported to
have taken place recently, in the grand duchy
of Nassau. A fish-pond was struck by light-
ning one night during a severe storm. The
next morning the fifl were found dead on
the surface of the water. ' Their appearance
was exactly that of cooked fish. No markof
ihjury could be seen, and their s’wimming- ’
bladders were full of air. The water 'was
disurbed and muddy at the time, as if it
had just been stirred up.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (Q shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
no t the outside plate of iron, being covered
milletely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. I As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bqlts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. ‘ Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” cOnsists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-sorcw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof. safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our, FOUR—\Vnirar. Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and. durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of woodJined as in other safes, Which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe's being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, prc~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have Times
FLANGES Instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire ourSafes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have .. attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were'successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im—
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added. to the number of flanges,and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
]purchasing a safe to keep that which may
ave cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedlylthe cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, rind.
recommend that which‘can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, b‘ut are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

His Youth.
Ilis coat was too thick and his cap was too
thin ;
He couldn’t be quiet, he hated a din ;
He hated to write, and he hated to read,

He must study and work over booss be de-
tested,
HIS Parents were strict, and he never was
rested ;

There was no one so wretcliedly wretched as
he.
H133 Maturity.
His farm was too small, and his taxes too big,
He was selfish and lazy, and cross as a pig;
His wife was too silly, his children‘too rude;
And just because he was uncommonly good.
He never had money, enough or to spare,
He had nothing at all fit to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could
be,
There was no one-so wretchcdly wretched as
he. -

He finds he has sorrows more deep than his
fears,
He grumbles to think he has grumbled for
years;
He grumblcs to think he has grumbled away
His home and his fortune,his life’s little (lav,
But, alas! ‘tis to late—it is no use to say i
That'his eyes are too dim, and his hair is too

He knows he is wretched as wretched can be,
There is no one more wretchedly wretched

The Family Rudder.
A Comstocker who was having his haircut
yesterday afternoon gave the harbor particu—
lar instructions not to remove a long lock that
projected in a somewhat unsightly way from
the front of his head.
“It don’t become you,” said the barber.
“Can’t help thgt,” said the customer.
“Better let me take it off,” said the barber.
“J net you leave it as it is,”said the man. '
“But,” persisted the barber, “I can’t give"
you a smooth, decent out if I leave the hair
so‘ long in front. It will look like the very
devil. I can’t see what you wantit left there
for f" ‘
“That’s because you don’t know what it is
——you don’t know the use of it.” ’
“I know that it’s a bunch of hair and know
that it’s devilish unbecoming just where it"
is."
“Yes; it is a bunch of hair, and it is some -
thing more than a bunch of hair—it‘s a fam—
ily rudder.”
“The family what P” _
“The mily rudder. When things don’t
go right t home my wife always grabs that
look of hair. She would feel lost without it.
When she gets hold of that she can .handle
me—steer me in the right course, so to speak
-—and when I go in the right course the whole
family go in the right course and all is well.
I’ve got used to it now and don’t mind it.
.ould I lose my hair and become bald, or
should you give me a fighting cut all over,
there would be no way of steering me; I
should become unmanageable, and sooner or
latcra tetal wreck. No, sir; don’t you dis-
turb the family rudder.”
Is Your Note Good.
A Boston lawyer was called upon a short
time ago by a boy, who inquired if he had
any waste paper to sell. The lawyer hasa-
crisp, keen way of asking question, and is,
moreover, a very methodical man. So pull—
ing out a draw, be exhibited his stock of
waste paper, laid smoothly in, sheet—a solid
mass.
“Will you give me twenty five cents for
that?” ,
The boy. looked :it the paper doubtfully a
moment, and offered fifteen cents.
“Done!” said the lawyer; and the paper
was quickly transferred to the bag by the boy,
whose eyes sparkled as he “hefter " the
weighty mass, .
But not till it was safely stowed did the
boy announce that he had no money.
“No money! How do you expect to buy
paper without money ?”
Not prepared to state exactly his plan of
operations, the boy made no repl y.
“Do you consider your note good ?"
“Yr-s, sir. ”
"Very well ! If you say your notc’s good
I’d just as soon have it as money. But if it
isn’t good, I don’t want it.” '
The boy affirmed that he considered it
gooc; whereupon the lawyer wrote anotc
for fiftccnccnts, which the boy signed legi-
bly, and lifting his bag of paper turned 01].”.
Soon after dinner the little fellow reappeared
and producing the money, announced thaLhe
had come to take up the note.
“Well 1” said the lawyer, “this is the first
time I ever knew a note to be taken up the
same day it was given. A boy who will
do that is entitled to note and money too.”
And giving him both, the lawyer sent him
on his way with a smiling face and a happy
‘heart.
The boy's note represented his honor. A
boy who thus keeps his honor bright, how-
ever poor he may be in wordly things, is an
heir to an inheritance which noriches can buy
—the choice of God.

Olive Logan on Advertising.
I suppose you don’t know what sort of
a pen. I am writing to you with; I don’t
suppose you care what kind of a pen I
am writing to you with; yet the pen I
am writing to you with is an epitome of
all that has ever been printed, spoken or
sung regarding the value of advertising to
the mercantile community. , Observe the
following facts: ~
. In Paris, recently, I saw a friend who had
just come over, using a pen of peculiar con-
struction, Idesrgned with special reference to
those untidy persons who, like myself, ink
their fingers when they write. N ow, my
friend isIa man whose bands are as white as
blues “7th finger nails like rose buds in tint;
noticeable hands, even remarkable, consider-
ing that he is an elderly man. and who occa—
siIonally helps with the lighter work on
hIs farm in Nebraska. Catch him inking
his fingers! “Why, where did you get
that nice pen !" I asked him with a vista
of blissful exemption from an unkind middle
finger opening upon my joyous, expectant
mind. “In Omaha,” he answered. “I used
to ink my fingers before I got it.” He did.
He inked his fingers! That was enough for
me. I got the name of the merchant from
whom he bought the pen. the price of it, and
inclosing the money, I sent from Paris to
”Omaha for that pen. By the last steamer
it came to me. There had beena little delay
The stationer at Omaha was out of them,but
he sent up to Sioux City to the man that
advertises them for another lot. And now
here is where the laugh comes in, so pre—
pare to pucker. The Pens are an English
invention, and tons of them can be bought
in London, if desired. At that stationer’s
next door 1 could have got ‘what I had sent
for to Sioux City. But how could I know
that i’ ' I dealt with the man that had adver-
tised. 7
