Benjamin Diraell’s Career.

 

Benjamin Disraeli, who died 'early on
Tuesday morning, 19th inst, was born Dec.
21, 1804. His father, Isaac Disraeli, wasthe
author of “The Curiosities of Literature” and
other works. His mether was Marla Basevi,
a Hebrew lady of great beauty and remark-
able accomplishments, whom his father mgr,
ried in 1802. While Benjamin was yet a
child the family withdrew from the syna-
gogue with which they had been connected,
and in 1817 he received Christian baptism
Of his boyhood and early education-little is
known. In 1820 he entered a law oflice,‘but
soon finding he had no taste for the law he
gave up his place to his brother Ralph. Af-
ter a brief interval of foreign travel he pub—
lished his famous novel “Vivian Grey,” the
chief characters in which were faithful pic-._
tures of himself and of persons well known
in society. The originality,vivacity and wit
of this book gave it great celebrity, and it was
translated into the principal languages of
Europe. In 1828 he published intone vol.~

nuts “The Voyage of Ciptaianepanilla,” ii '

gay and good humored,’ but flimsy, satire,
which met with little success.. The next year
. he began an extended tour in Italy, Greece,
Albania, Syria, Egypt, and Nubia, and re—
turned in 1831. Shortly afterward he pub-
lished his second fashionable novel, “The
Young Duke,” andlin the following year
another novel, “Contarini Fleming, a Psy-
chological Autobiography.” ‘

At this time Disraeli made his first attempt,
to enter Parliament and was defeated. In
1834 and 1835 he tried again and was de-
feated again. In the meantime he wrote and
published several books. “The Wondrous
Tale of Alroy,” an Oriental romance of
extraordinary eloquence and power,dspicting‘
the adventures of a prince of the house of
David, who in the twelfth century proclaimed
himself the Messiah and called the Jews of
Persia to arms, appeared in 1833, accompan-
ied by “The Rise of Iskander," a tale found-
ed on the revolt of the famous Sesnderberg
against the Turks in the 15th century; a
political pamphlet entitled “What is He ?”
in 1834, in which he tried to explain his po.
litical views; “The Revolutionary Epic’
and “The Crisis Examined” in the same year.
and “a Vindication of the English Cobstitu-
tion" in 1835. In 1839 he published a series
of letter to the London Times under the
signature of “Runnymede,” which were read
with great interest on account of their re-
markable wit and sarcasm. Toward the
close of the same year he published a love
,story, “Henrietta Temple”; and in the
spring of 1837 appeared “Venetia,” a novel,
in which he portrayed the characters and
appearance of Lord Byron and Percy Bylshe
Shelly. ‘

At last, in 1837, Disraeli got into Parlia-
ment. His maiden speech was a failure.
When he began to speak O'Connell and his
crowd raised such a hubbub that he could
not be heard; but as he took his seat he
said, "I have begun several things many
times, and I have often succeeded at last. I
will sit down now. but the time will come
when you will hear me.” In July, 1839,this
prediction began to be fulfilled. He’then
made a speech which was listened to with
attention and praised for its ability. In that
year he published his fiveiact tragedy,“Counl
Alarcos," founded on an old Spanish ballad,
and in the same year contracted a most; for.
tunate marriage with the wealthy widow of
Windham Lewis, his friend and colleague in
the representation of Maidstone. The happy
influence of this union he has himself
acknowledged in the ’gracsful dedication of
one of his novels to a “perfect wife."

In 1841 Disraeli was elected from the
borough of Shrewsbury, and in 1844 publish
ed “Coningsby, or the New Generatiop,"
In 1847 he was returned as a member from
Buckinghamshire, and in the same year he
published “Ixion in Heaven.” He now
began to be conspicuous in the House of
Commons. He greatly distinguished himsell
by a remarkable speech in which he attacked
Sir Robert Peel for alleged treachery to his
party in the adoption of the free trade theory.
There were several of these attacks and
they established Disraeli’s reputation as one
of the most powerful debaters and most keen
and polished satirists in the House. In 1840
he became the leaderof the Conservativesin
Parliament. In 1852, England rubbed ,her
eyes at seeing the audacious Disraelii‘VChaii
cullor of the Exchequer, member of the
Privy Council and leader of .the ministerial
party in the House of Commons. ’ The Der-
by administration went out of office the same
year and Disraeli went with it.‘ It came
back again in 1858 'and again Disraeli was
made Chancellor bf the Exchequer. In 1859
he brought forward his electoral reform
measure, which included ths'extension oi
suffrage to the whole of the educated class,
without regard"_to property holdings. March
81 of the same, yedr this bill was defeated.
The Derby administration was again snuffed
out, and in 1880 it was succeeded by the

Palmerston-Russell Cabinet,ahd on the death? ’

of Palmerston, Oct. 18, 1865,“ by theltussell-
Gladstone ministry, 3which, 'in ‘turn was dis."

as Prime Minister, and Disraeli at his old:

post of Chancellor. Disraeli continued to In? 1

the acknowled leader in the'IIouse, and the
was the chief supporter of the bill which'
extended the right of suifraget'd all house,”
holders in a borough, and to every person in
a county who had a, forty shilling freehold}

In February, 1808, Earl Derby resigned ‘84-};

Disraeli reached the goal of his ambitiohé“
he became the Prime Minister of England,‘
A majority of the members were, however;
opposed to thc'coursejof the ministry; on the
question of disestablishing the _ 08‘,“th of;
Ireland, and Parliament was dis‘soli’red. The
feeling of the people manifested itself in the
election of a Liberal administration, Glad-
stone becoming Prime Minister. Disraeli
now gave more of his time to literary pur-
suits and in 1870 published “Lothair,” his
litico-religiou‘s nOVel, which ‘so enraged
“I; Fenians,20ommunists and Jesuits, and
which had air-enormous circulation, 80,000.
in the United States alone. In 1863 Victoria
offered Disraeli a peerage which he declined,
but accepted for his wife who was made
Vicountess Beaconsfield on November 28,
1808. She died Dec. 23, 1872, and Disraeli
assumed the title of Lord Beaconsfield. In
February, 1874, came another Cownative
triumph. Gladstone’s party was swept from
power, and Disraeli once more became the
head of the administration. He held the
office until the Liberal victory of 1879. When
Gladstone again assumed the, reins. It has
been said of Disraeli by one of his admiring
fellow countrymen: “His. careerflis s ro-

water must be about blood warm, about.

 

cold room in winter the water must be atrifie
.warmer than blood heat, or else the flour
must be warmed a little. Beat with a strong
spoon. When well mixed, sprinkle .a little
flour on the board, turn the. dough on this,
and_kneadffrom twenty to thirty minutes
Putwbncknin the pan, hold theilaf’d in the
hand to soften, and rub it over the dough.‘
If you don’t like lard use butter. Cover so
as to exclude air and dust, place in a warm
place, and let it rise eight or nine hours. In
themorniug shape the rolls and loaves; if
lOaves, rise one hour and bake one hour for a
moderhte sized loaf. When rolls are made
they are better when allowed to rise two
hours. A large loaf requires less rising than

to small loaf or mile, for the reason that it

will rise some when placed in the oven,while
the smaller quantity of' dough will soon
begin to bake and fermentation will cease,
pans in which bread is baked do not require
much teasing.

_ {Ah'importantthih‘g in making bread is the
ikheading. Three things are necessary to,
make the‘bread light 5’ carbo1ic acid gas (the
yeast), moisture (the milk or water) and air
(the kneading). Every films the dough is
nandlcd,'turn the layers so as to get‘plenty of
air into the folds. This cache done by good
kneading. When the'kneading ‘is finished
and the loaf shaped for the pan,draw a sharp

and roll together under the loaf. What was
first the inside of the loaf will then be the
top and give a nice appearance when baked.
sugar .is not .put‘ into bread simply to'sweeten
it: but to assist fermentation. If wheat has
been grovvn in a. wet season and dried it will
not make as good flour as When the sebsOn
has'been dry,- because it absorbs too much
moisture. Such flour can be improved by
heating a panful at a time in an oven. ‘

let it stand all night. In the morning knead

with the milk is that by standing the gluten
in the flour absorbs the moisture in the milk
and fermentation proceeds slowly,whlch gives
a very nice texture to the bread. It is better
and healthier to use a good quantity of yeast
and less heat in mixing bread. Good flour and
good yeast with plenty of kneading will give
good bread. If Parker House rolls are wanted
for supper mix them in the morning at 7 and
knead at 12 ; between 3 and 4 they will be a
sponge, and can be rolled and shaped to bake
at 0. By using double the quantity of yeast it
will do to mix them at 10 a. m.
' WHITE MOUNTAIN norms.

Seven cups of flour, one-fourth, cup of
white sugar, one-half cup butter, two cups
coiled milk, the whites of two eggs, scant
tablespoonful of salt, and one-half cup of
yeast or one-half of a yeast cake. Melt the
butter in the milk, which are blood warm,.
beat the eggs to a stiff froth, add all the in-
gredients to the flour, knead well, let it rise
over night and in the morning shape into rolls,
let rise one hour in a warm place (better two
hours in a cooler place), and bake thirty
minutes.

Rolls should be rolled thin and cut in one
way : cut with as little waste as possible, for
those made from the pieces re-rolled will not
be as delicate as those first cut. When out
double them, end to end, and place in a tin
baking pan. In case you do not cut them
with a cutter, snip of! small pieces ,of the
dough and roll 'in the hand, tucking in the
edges with a quick motion, and then shape
lengthwise. Rolls made ‘ from the Parker
House and White Mountain recipes brown
easily on account of the.butter and milk ; in
.water bread the browning will take longer.
A very small roll can be baked in fifteen
minutes. ' ‘ .

Rolls should always increase to nearly
double their original size before being put in
the oven, and bread should be double.

This is done by simply taking two long
rolls of dough, catching them in the center
and then braiding the four: ends. This gives

Liré‘ou'a Texds Sheep hatch. ‘

 

N. O. Picayune.

1n the many articles which have
appeared, concerning that wonderland of the
emigrant, the State of Texas, in regard to its
«agricultural advantages, mineral resources,
and natural wealth of all descriptions, the
writers have dealt with their subjects only in
a general manner. But as the sum total of
this life is made up of little things, we must

I pay as strict attention, in drawing a chart, is

as soliciteus to point out the shoals and sunk-
en rocks, as to make known the deep water
and swift running currents.
’ ' On the prairies of Texas, the two most
remunerative pursuits are cattle and sheep
raising. Of these, the latter is the most eer-
tain, the one on which the most dependence
can be placed, and is, therefore, the one to
which a man desirous of rapidly accumu-
lating a fortune should turn his attention.
That portion of Texas, which represents to
the emigrant the most prominent fortunes
for sheep raising is Falls and-adjoining
counties, situated around Wacli. . This
conclusion I'arrived at after having ridden
ever two-thirds of Texas, and all of the

. idistricts which could offer inducements for

stock men to ,Amagh a .scttlemeht: The
country is rolling prairie with skirts’of tim—
her.

The houses in which the ranches medomi-
ciles‘, are usually built of logs, plastered with
the thick sticky earth of' which‘the soil‘ is
composed. The high price of lumber, and
the distance which’ it ~rnu‘ét be carried, ne-
,.cessitate this primitive style of architecture;
for' the skirts and motts of .timber are com-

posed almost entirely‘ of, what is known as ’

“post on .” This wood, though too short,
and knotty to be sawed into lumber, affords
excellent material fol-"pickets, posts," and
rails, and ’its durability equals th‘ht'of “fat

As scan as the log cabin .is constructed, the
work next in band is a corral for sheep ; and
through this a prudent herder runs a shed for
the housing of his sheep in winter and bad
weather.

This shed should always range east and
west, with the north side and ends boarded
up so as to exclude the piercing cold of the
northers. A roof thatched with straw is
preferable to one of ' boards or planks on‘ac-
count‘of the warmth it gives. '

A shed of this description, 100 feet long,
four feet high at the caves, and with a depth
of eight feet, is amply large to accommodate
from, 2,000 to 2,500 head of sheep, and. the
rancher will find the labor expended in its
construction. will be repaid him fifty per
cent. , .

The best corral fence is constructed in the
following order: Pickets of eight feet long
and ground sufliciently‘ deep to steady them
the upper _end being secured by a scantling.
,‘This description of fence is necessary when
the corral is at a distance from ithe ranch.
20r when the Wolves are about. .. ‘
I .t In some portions of the country a good,

and covering a space of about sixfeet in
width with, pieces of prickly pear. These
”pieces speedily take root, send out runners,
arid in a short space of time are an impassible
barrier to man or beast.

A work to which a rancher should early
lend his energies is the construction of a to-
bacco dip, as follows:

A pen is built, and leading from it a lane
with converging sides, the smaller end closed
by a gate which will admit of the passage of
but one sheep at a time. Beyond this gate
an inclined plane deSCends to a vat filled with
warm tobacco juice. The opposite side of .
the dip differs only in net having a gate at
the top of the inclined plane. Y

A tobacco dip is used for the purpose of
curing the sheep of what is known es scab.
This disease is simply a sore, which, on
healing, leaves a scab about the size of it ill—
ver dollar. On this spot and - bout the size
no wool will grow for a year, d where one
possesses two or three thousand, .llead,a'nd
each sheep bears one or’more scabs 'on its
body, the loss can easily be conceived.

The cure is easily and simply effected by
dipping the flocks in this tobacco, being
careful, however, to move their raugeuas a
return to the Same grazing ground would
again bring the disease among the flock.

But what is more to be feared than the scab
is the screw worm; for the former does not
cause death—the latter does.

Often in clipping a cut will be made in the
skin, Or "it may be torn open by a briar or
splinter ; in the wound, hoWever small, a
blue fly, which makes its appearance during
the summer, deposits an. egg from which is
hatched a worm. which, after the manner
of a screw, makes its way through the flesh.
If it enters the abdomen it will attack the

entrails, or if its course is stopped by 'a bone ‘

it dies, and, festering 'there, cause's‘ untold
agony to the wretched animal, which suc-
ccmbs to‘this horrible disease. -

The presence of the parasite is . made
known by the bloody water which runs from
the wound, aod can be gotten rid of by
applications of calomel to the diseased‘parts.

One of ‘the- greatest inconveniences ,to
which a sheep raiser is subjected is the great
distance which he is compelled to haul wa-
ter and wool. Four; and five miles is not
considered far in a dry season, and instances
have been known where it has been brought
ten miles.

0f hourse, the flock cannot be driver} so
great a; distance to Water; ”so a temporary
corral must be constructed near the drinking
hole, and the border is of necessity compelled
to be up betimes, so as to have his flock on
the range-early. This want of water is what
strips prairie farming of its profits. *

'The usual method (pursued to procure a'_
supply of water is, at some suitable place to
construct a data across what is... .known' 'asja
“dry creek,".so' that when it rains the water
will flow dCWn the hollows'and be held in
this reservoir, called in prairie parlances a
tank. The water thus secured is often in a
horrible condition from remaining stagnant
for so longa timefbut the people drink of it
without any apparently bad effects.

In the winter these tanks swarm with all
manner of aquatic birds, and afford excellent
sport. Not the least important individual
about a ranch is the shepherd’s dog. This
animal is.- however, too well known to re-
quire a description at our hands, and its
reputation for faithfulness, sagacity, and do-
cility is too well established for it to want a
champion at this late day. But to fully ap-
preciate shepherd's dogs one must see them
in charge of a flock, guiding and managing it
with hardly a word of command from the

shepherd.

One man and a dog can, with ease, control
1,800 head of sheep. 'In spite of all the dis
advantages under which 'a sheep raiser may
have to labor, no enterprise offers so many
inducements to one with but a small sum at
his disposal. With a capital of $1,000 it is
possible for a man in five or Six years to be
worth $25,000 or $30,000 Sheep, on an
average, do not cost over forty cents a head
per year—and this includes shepherd’s hire
and an occasional feed of cotton seed in bad
weather. These figures seem almost incred-
ible, but they were given me by parties en-
gaged in the business.

There are . those , who labor ~_under the
mistaken idea'that sheep Can do. Without 'any
covering, but they have been sadly deceived,
and a year’s experience will to their sorrow
convince them to the contrary. In Texas,
as elsewhere, money dses ,not grow on, trees;
if it did, the crop on the prairies would be
small indeed. But it does grow-'on the backs
of the merino sheep, and one has but to shear
it off. . .

PUBLIC. "

 

- Detroit Free Press.

‘ An advertising agent for one of the great
.circus combinations has been in Detroit for a
week past, and yesterday he sat down long
enough to answer a few questions. The in—
terview started as follows:

“How many diamond pins will you wear
this summer. and what will be their value 1’"

“I shall not wear any. Our‘show has made
a new departure in that matter, and nobody
except the man in the ticket-wagon will be
allowed, to wear diamonds. I am just going
up to the express office to send my seven
pins, four rings and sleeve buttons home to
my brother.”

How many consolidated shows do you ad-
vertise ?”

“Only thirteen, but we have exactly six-
teen. We do not intend to do any blowing
this summer, but will practice the modesty
dodge. We have twelve clowns, but adver
tise only ten. We have ten elephants, but
advertise only eight, and so on right
through 1’” '

“Have you the only man in the world who
can turn a double 'somersault over sixteen
horses ?” . -

“No; there is another man who can do it ;
and although he is in state prison we didn’t
wan’t to say we had the only one. We shall
pra'ctic no deception and carry no humbugs."

,“Have you the only baby elephantj"

-_“-Yes sir, but we don’t advertise it. We
don’t want to be mean toward other combi-
nations.” ‘

“Have you twice as much capital invested
as' an other traveling show ?” ‘

“Yes, air; but we don’t say so on the bills.
Thh public don’t care about the capital, but
want to see the animals.”

“Will your'stfit parade be a mile long '1’"
“Two of them, air, but we don’t advertise

my surprised.” ~
, “Have you got an elephant which has killed
seven men f." . '

“Seven! ' Why he’s laid out eight this
very winter! I think the lists fools up
thirty-two, but we don’t advertiseit. An
elephant is an elephant, and what’s the use of
blowing about it,-”»

“You have two or three man-eating tigers,
Of course ?” .

“0f course—seven or eight of them, and
we also have to. list of the names of people
who have been eaten by them, but we make
no blow about it.”

“Have you a boa-constrictor forty-eight
feet long ?” ' .

“We have one sixty-two feet long. He’s
the longest and largest snake ever imported,
but we give him only one line on the bills."

“Have you a sacred cow of India?” ‘

“Yes, sir, and the sacred ox of Sapan, and
a sacred calf and a sacred pig, but we don't
blow over lem. We let the public come in
and separate the sacred from the unsacred
themselves.” ‘

“Will you have two circus rings?”

“We shall have four, but we don’t put it
on the bills. As I told you at the start we are
making a new departure. We shall not ex
aggerate. We shall not even tell the plain
truth. No diamonds—no trumpets—no snide
challenges—no ,humbug offers—no fields of
the cloth of gold. We are going to sail along
in a gentle, modest way and give the people
five times the worth of their money. That’s
all—children half-price and no lemonade sold
inside the tent.

 

He Stood the Test.

.‘ . The other morning a young man of affable
manners presented himself at the box ofllcc
of a variety show at Petsluma,and requested
a press pass.

“You don’t claim to be a journalist, do
you F” asked the manager. glancing suspi-
ciously at the good clothes and innocent
expression of the applicant.

“Yes,I do, though; I’m on the Fleatown
Snapper.” ' .

“Hum! What is your department ?"
“I was a newspaper

man myself once.”

“I do the ‘Answers to Correspondents,’ ”
asserted the youth.

“Do, eh! Lemme see: what was the
fastest mile ever skated backward for money
in the United States 7”

“That question is always signed ‘N im-
rod,’ ” said the young man promptly, “and
the ansWer is, ‘Died in Brazil, 1446.’ ”

“Correct,” said the manager. “When was
Cleopatra hung ?" .

"Trim with deep ruching and bake before
a quick fire."

“Did Oliver Cromwell have a blue wart on
his chin?” ‘

,. “'13 takes the trick, of course.”

“Was Queen Elizabeth handy-legged, or
only bandied in one leg? and how do you

The Language of Sweet Sixteen.
Detroit Free Press.
“My daughter never uses slang," says,

 

~ some staid pater familieas,who is denouncing

the idea that the American young lady speaks
any other than the purest college-taught
English, and he is sincere in his belief. But
should some curious senior, with an eye to
the truth, linger near this young lady and
her school friends, ten to one this is an exact
and not overdrawn description of what he
would hear : '
“Meet me on the Ave’ this aft’ and we will
go to the mat’.”
“No, not this aft’ on the Ave’.”
“Well, good aft' 1”
“I had a perfectly mag’ time, and don’t
you forget it.”
“Don‘t give me away, Kate !”
"Well, I should softly exclaim l”
“I should blush to murmur!”
“I should remark !”
“I should mutter l"
“I should smile!”
~-“Are you going to the musicale ?"
“You just bet I am!”
“Have you got your lesson in physical
geography '1’”
“What do you take me for ?"
“I told the Guv’ I wanted a new handeri
chief dress.”
“Did he tumb’e to the racket?”
“Did he trail?”
“Did he catch on r”

These are the sweet girl graduates who
stand up in the month of roses and read
charming ‘cssays on “The Real and the
Ideal,” “Life as it Should Be,” “Reforms,”
and other practical subjects, and who turn
from admiring teachers, to whom they have
listened with tears in their mock-serious
eyes, to say in a low aside, “He’s giving us
taffy, girls,” and who christen everything
that does not please them as “snide.”

“Do all the good you can, to all the people
you can, as long as ever you can, in every
place you can.” This is the advice given by
old Scotch David to his lassic, and is good

From the Promdence' . Journal. I
THE LITTLE OLD WOMAN.

 

A BALLAD 0F NEWPORT.

 

There’s a little old woman lives over the way,
In a gambrel-roofed cottage unpainted and
gray, I
And where the bmwn grape vine is climbing
across.

The shinglesfl'e covered with patches of-
moss. .

By the wood fire-side. in the winter she sits
In a list-bottomed rocker, and sings as she
knits
In a quavcring voice with a tremulous'croon.
And the click of her needle keeps time to
the thne.

. Her Bible she reads.slowly turning the leaves,
And she garners" bright grain from its
beautiful sheaves;
And the tears dim her eyes as she lifts them
on high
In search of her treasures laid up in the sky

In her best Sunday gown, whether ailing or
well, ‘
She trots to her meeting at the sound of the
bell,
And she sits in her pew like a wrcn ona
perch. '
~ This little gray dame in a Puritan church.

Our very old people remember, they think,
When her hair was as glossy and black as
a mink.
And her cheeks red as roses, her teeth white
as pearls,
And this little old woman the fairest of
girls. ’

She had a dear lover, alack and a day:
A sailor who sailed from the beautiful bay ;
And the summers may blush and the winters
may pale,
But their sun never shines on
coming sail.

his .home‘

At a little round table from ‘over the sea,
She sits at the sunset and pours out her tea,
- And the delicate cup and its saucer are white
As a floating pond-lily just kissed by the
light.

And the ship under sail, with its flags. the
mast, .
All laden with memories brought from the
past, . ‘
Is painted upon them as life-like and fair
As the mirage that floats in the orient air.

His ship that he sailed in, his sweetheart to
. wed

By others forgotten—the sunset grows red—

But the little old woman just murmurs a

prayer,
And smiles as she knows that herlover is
there. 9

But a day will soon come when the lilac’s
perfume '
Through the half-open window will float

through the room,
And the house will be quiet and she at rest,
With a' single white rose on her motionless
breast. '

And the angels will come with their glittering
Wings,
While the person he prays, and the choir it
Sings, . '
And bear to the home that is fairer than day
The little old woman from over the way.

If I Could Keep Her So.

 

BY LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON.

 

Just a little baby, lying in my arms,

Would that I could keep you with your baby
charms ; .

Helpless,clinging fingers; downy golden hair,

Where the sunshine lingers, caught from
other where,

Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot
speak,

Rely-poly shoulders, dimple in your cheek;

Dainty little blossom in a world of woe;

Thus I fain would kéep you,fo'r I love you so.

Rougish little damsel,scarcely six years old—

Fect that never weary, hair of deeper gold;

Restless, busy fingers, all the time at play,

Tongue that never ceases talking all the day;

Blue eyes learning wonders of the world
about,

Have come to tell you them—what an eager
shout!

Winsome little damsel, all the neighbors
know; ' .

Thus I long to keep you,for I love you so.

Sober little school girl, with your. strap of
books, '

And such grave importance in your puzzled
looks; .

Solving weary problems, poring over sums,

'Yet with tooth for plum-cake and for lug!!-
plums; . ' .

R’eading books of romance in your bed at
night,

Waking up to study in the morning light;

Anxious as to ribbons, deft to tie a bow,

Full of contradictions—I would keep it so.

Swett and thoughtful maiden, sitting by my
side,

All the world's before you, and the world is
Wide ;

Hearts there are for winning, hearts there
are to-break; ' ‘

Has your own, shy maiden, just begun to

wake?

Is that rose of dawning glowing on your
cheek,

Telling us in blushes what you will not
. speak? ' '

Shy and tender maiden, I would fain forego
All the golden future, just to keep it so. ‘

All the listening angels saw that she was fair,
Ripe for rare unfolding in the upper air;
Now the rose of dawning turns to lilywhite,
And the closed shut eyelids veil the eyes
from sight.
All the past 1 summon as I kiss her brow—
Babe, and child, and maiden, all are' with me
now. ‘
Oh 1 my kart is breaking; but God’s love I
know—
Safc among the angels, He will keep her so.

Help the Children Grow Erect.
William Bluikie, the author of “How to
Get Strong and How to Stay So,” spoke
before tile Brooklyn Teachers’ Association
recently on "Physical Educuliou." “I want,’
said he, “:0 see if in an informal talk Wt
can’t hit upon some way in which we can
bring the physical education of school chil-
dren down to a practical basis. Our children,
who are healthy and DUXUIH when they begin
school work, come out pale, sickly, and with
round shoulders. If you require the children

 

hold their cliius up you will cure them of
being round shouldered, and the lungs and
other vital organs will have free and healthy
play. Another simple plan is to have the
children bend over backward until they can
see the ceiling. This exercise for a few
minutes each day will work a wonderful
transformation. If a well-qualified teacher

cal devdepment of the children the best
results would be seen." ‘

Several young men were sitting together,
and a young lady happened to upprouch'tlle
vicinity. no “real sweet” young fellow
seeing, as be supposed. the young lady look—
ing at him, remarked, playfully, and with is
becoming simper, “Well, Miss , you
needn’t look at me as if you wanted to eat
me." “0, no,” sweetly replied the young
Jlady; “I never eat greens."
