A purpose strengthened from a hope denied:
. And boundless trust from faith so sorely

The thankless toilshall harvest golden grain.

The wail must usher song of triumph in,

And peace succeed the battle’s noise and din.

And gathered littles larger goods obtain ;
To him that hath shall greater things be given;
"This is the law of earth as well as heaven.

“Continual droppings wear away a stone.”
Continuous hammering sends the iron home;
And earnest wrestling with grim circumstance
Must end at length in evident advance.

There is no royal road to actual power;

He who wills works and grasps the wondrous

He who puts shoulder to the wheel of time

In turning lifts himself to heights sublime.

Out of defeat I shall wring victory yet,
Out of long waiting heart more my set,
Humility will spring from wohnded pride,

And love to God frOm self-love crucified.

A Crushed fEstliete.

now an mmnsa YOUNG LADY was nnownnn
or am: PRACTIOL rannurs.

From the Leckport Union.

A few months ago, the daughter of an
East Lockport man, who had grown com-
fortsbly well off in the small grocery line,
was sent away to a “female college,” and re-
cently she arrived home for the holiday va-
cation. The old man was in attendance at
the depot when the train arrived, with-the
old horse in the delivery wagon to convey
his daughter and her trunk to the house.
When the train stopped, a bewitching array
of dry goods and a wide brimmed hat dash-
ed from thc’car and fiungitielf into the elder
party’s arms-

“ Why, you superlative pa!” she ex-
claimed, “ I’m ever so utterly glad to see
you.” .,

The oid man was somewhat unnerved by
file grstting, but he recognized the sealskin
cloak in his grip as the identical piece of
property be had paid for with the bay mare,
and he sort of squat it up in his arms and
planted a kiss where it would do the most
.good with a report that sounded above the
noises of the depot.
the trunk and the attendant baggage were
loaded into the wagon,which was soon bump-
ing over the bubbles toward home.

“ Pa, dear,” said the young miss,surveying
the team with a critical eye, "do you consid-
er this quite excessively beyond ?”

“Hey ?” returned the :old man, with a
puZzled air, “quite excessively. beyond
what 1"" ~

“Oh, no pa ; you don’t understand me,”
the daughter explained. uI mean this wag-
on and horse. Don’t you think they are soul-
full—do you think they could be studied
apart in the light of a symphony, or even a
simple poem, and appear as intensely utter
to one on returning home as one could ex-
press P”

The old man twisted uneasily in his seat
and muttered something about he believed
it used to be used for- an express before he
bought it to deliver pork in, but the conver-
sation appeared to be traveling in such a
lonesome direction that be pitched the horse
a resounding crack on the rotunda, and the

vented further remarks.

“ Oh, there is that lovely and consummate
ma 1” screamed the returned collegiate, as
they drew up at the door. and presently she
was lost in the embrace of a motherly wo-
man in spectacles.

“ Well, lMaria,” said the old man at the
supper table, as be nipped a piece of butter
ed the lamp with his own knife, “an how’d
you like your school ?”

“ Well, there, pa,now you’re shou-I mean
I consider it far too beyond,” replied the
daughter “It is unquenchably inefi'able. The
girls are so sumptuously stunning—I mean
grand—so intense. And then the parties,
the balls, the rides—ob, the past weeks have
been one sublime harmony.”

“I s’pose so—I s‘pose so,” nervously as-
sented the old man, as he reached for his
third cup, “half full”——“but how about your
books—readiu’ writin,’urammar,rule 0’ three
—how about them 1’”

“ Pa, don't!" exclaimed the daughter. re-
proacbfully. “the rule of three! grammar!
It is Frepcb and music and painting, and
the divine in art that have made my school
life the bos—I mean that have rendred it one
unbroken flow of ryhtmic bliss—incompara-
bly and exquisitely all but.”

The grocery man and his wife looked help-
lessly at each other across the table. After
a lonesome pause the old lady said :

“How do you like the biscuits, Marin ?”

“ They are too utter for anything,” gushed
the accomplished young lady, “and this plum
preserves is simply a poem in itself.”

The old man rose abruptly from the table
and went out of the room, rubbing his head
in a dazed and benumbed manner, and the
mass convention was dissolved. That night
he and his wife, sat alone by the stove until
a late hour, and at the breakfast table the
next morning he rapped smartly on his
plate with the handle of his knife and re-
marked: .

"Maria, me an’ your mother have been
talkin’ the thing over, an’ we’ve come to the
conclusion that this boardin’ school business
is too utterly all but too much nonsense.
Me and her consider that we havn’t lived
sixty odd consummate years for the purpose
of raisin’ a' curiosity, an’ there’s goin’ to be
a stop put to this unqueuchable foolishness.
Now, after you’ve finished eatin’ that poem
of fried sausage an’ that symphony of twist-
ed doughnut, you take an' dust up stairs in
loss’an two seconds an’ peel off that fancy
'gown an' put on a kaliker, mother wash dish-
es. I want it distinctly understood that there
ain’t goiu to be no more rythmic foolishness
in this house, so long’s- your' superlative pa
au’ your lovely un’ consummate ina’s running
the ranch. You hear me, Maria ?”

How the Telephone got Mr.

J ones all doubled up.

Old Mr. Jones, senior partner of Jones «in
Son, considered it a good stroke of business
when he had a telephone put in his grocery.
It took the old gentleman several days to
get the hang of the thing, but it paid to have
customers order goods by telephone of him
at a distance, when before,thcy would run
to the nearest shop. Mr. Jones was con.
grutulating himself upon -this the other
morning, when the telephone ‘ell rung.
After the usual number of helloes.he distinct-
ly caught an order for ten pounds of sugar,
two pounds of codes, a pound of crackers,
half a bufitel of potatoes, a. peek of apples
and a co sh, to be delivered, but he didn’t
catch the name. After several vain trials,
be asked the other party to spell it, while
with his pencil he prepared to.write it down
on sheet of wrapping paper.

"Double u,” said the voice. Jones wrote
it down and said, “ Yes."

“ Double u.”

“ I’ve got that."

“ Well, put it down again.”
“Yes; go ahead.”

“ Double u.”

“ Why. I’ve got that.”

“ Put it down again:”

“But I have put it down twice."
“ Well put it down three times;"
sighed and wrote it again.

“ A double (1.”

“ A double d—that’s add,” soliloquized

Jones

Jones, and then he shouted back, “Add

what 1’ "

“ Add nothing. But just put down a
double d." , .
‘ “ This is infernal nonsense’l ” muttered
Jones; and' he cheerfully called back, “ Yer,
go ahead.”

"E double 1.”

“ Wha-ci-t P ”

“ E double 1.”

Mr. Jones stamped on the floor, and pulled
his whiskers savagely; but he put it down
and sweetly answered, “ Yes.”

“ That’s all.”

“All what? ”

“ All the name.”

Then Mr. Jones studied his paper careful-
ly a moment, when he had ~ written thus,
“Uuuuuuaddell,” and remarked to
himself “Why, that‘s confounded nonsense.”
He then helloed through the telephone in
vain and rang up the central office and in-
quired in vain who had been talking with
him Then he studied his writing some
more. Pretty soon in came his son, the
junior partner. Mr. Jones showed him the
letters and told him how be got them. The
junior partner studied them hard, read them
both ways. looked on the back, of the paper;
and finally said it was the infernalest bosb

he ever saw. They showed the paper to the
bookkeeper, and be said it was sheer foolish-
ness. The big clerksaid it was absurd. The
little clerk thought somebody-was crazy.
Finally the errand boy looked at it and was
told it was meant for some customer’s name;

letters as near as he could remember the
same as he had receivedthem by telephone.
Mr. Jones did so, when the errand boy near-
ly choked with laughing. said, " Why. that’s
perfectly plain; it's W. \V. Weddell.” Mr.
Jones never felt such an immense relief since
he went into business.

 

In a brief space of time'

severe jolting over the frozen ground pre-_

thereupon he asked Mr. Jones to call 0115 the.

TEMPERANCE.

Fair tests of the value of total abstinence.-
from alcoholic drinks are much to be desired.
An English Life Insurance company has fur-
nished one of great value. It has a temper-
ance section and a general section. Into the
first it admits only persons who have been
total abstaiuers for several years. This test
is not applied in the general section. For
the fifteen years 1866-1880, the expected
deaths in the general section (according to
the rules in use for ascertaining the expecta-
tion of life)‘ were 3,743, and the actual deaths
were 3,744. In the temperance section, ac-
cording to the same rules the expected
deaths were 2,184, and the actual deaths
only 1,566—that is to say 618 deaths less
than the deaths to be «peeled under, the
generalrules. This shows a saving of life
equal to'nearly thirty per cent. for the whole
period. This seems to us to present a very
fair test of the value of total abstinence.
To be sure, no one would question the de-
structive power of excessive drinking; but
the general section is not made up of excess-
ive drinkers. Men of such habits are e
eluded from the general section. It is,there—
fore, a comparison between total abstinence
and what is called “moderate drinking."

A sAD sronr or A wascxsn LIFE.

The most thrilling and sadly suggestive
temperance lecture is the sight of a once
noble, talented man, left in ruins by intoxica-
ting drink. A Washington paper tells of a
ragged beggar, well known in the streets of
that city, who once held an important
commandin the army, having been promot-
ed for personal bravery from a cavalry lieu—
tenant to nearly the highest rank in the
military service. One night, not long ago,

for liquor to sate his craving,and while lying
helplessly drunk in the rear part of a Third
street saloon, some men thought to play it
joke on him by stealing his shirt, and pro-
ceeded to strip him.

Underneath his shirt, and suspended by a
string from his neck,was a small canvas bag,
which the men opened and found it con-
tained his commission as Brevet Major-Gen-
eral, two congratulatory letters—one from
General Grant and one from President Lin-
coln—a photograph of a little girl, and a curl
of hair—a “ chestnut shadow" that doubtless
one day crept over the brow of ‘some loved
one.

When these things were discovered, even
the half-drunken men who found them felt a
respect for the man’s former greatness, and
pity for his fallen condition, and quietly
returnéd the bag and its contents to where
they found them, and replaced the sleeper’s
clothes upon him. When the reporter tried
to interview the man, and endeavored to
learn something of his life in the past few
years, he declined to communicate anything.
He cried like a child when told how his
right name and former position were ascer-
tained, and with tears trickling down his
cheeks, said :‘

“For God’s sake, sir, don’t. .publish my
degradation, or my name, at least, if you are
determined to say something about it. It is
enough that I know myself how low I have
become. Willyou promise that much? It
will do no good, but will do my friends a
great deal of harm, as, unfortunately, they
think I died in South America,wbere I went
at the close of the war.”

Intemperauce' and the gaming table, he
said, had wrought his ruin.

..._-_.___——
“ My Smoke—House.”
A man who lives in Albany, and whose
business is that of clerk. said that be'bad bad
lately built a house that cost him three thou-
sand dollars. His friends expressed their
wonder that he could afford to, builduso fine
a dwelling. , - a ' ‘3' ' 5 '

“ Why,” said he, “that is my smoke-
house." ' ' . "

“ Your smokehousel Why, what do you‘
mean f”

“I- mean that twenty years ago I left off
smoking, and I have put the money saved
from smoke, with the interest,into my house.
Hence I call it my smoke-house."

“ Now, boys, we want you to think of this,
when you are tempted to take: your first
cigar. Think how much good might be
done with the money you are beginning to
spend in smoke. What would you think of
a man who, to amuse himself, should light a
paper twenty~five cents and watch it burn ?
Is it any more sensible to take for your quar—
ter a roll of old dry brown leaves, light it,
and-see it; smoke ?—-ll’:s.

Augusta Moore says in the Evangelist :, “I
took up a daily paper one day and saw nine-
teen divorces in it. I took up another and
saw five. I went to a certain church and
fo'und there, in full communion, a. woman
who has two husbands. I visited the house
of a ‘leading member ’ in a church, and
found there a minister who has divorced one
wife (a virtuous woman), and is married to
another. I know a minister who married a.
doctor to a woman for whom he had divorc-
ed his excellent wife. This was in Clinton,
Connecticut. Time would fail me to particu-
larize the cases of this sort that I know, and
I live among the best people that there are
in this world. These bases are as plenty
everywhere as they are about inc—indeed,
much more so in many localities. A friend
writes me from California that it is hardly
safe to say ‘ divorce,’ so many of ‘ the very
nicest people ’ have two or three husbands or
wives living. Now,is not this an encouraging
state of things? Is it any wonder that some
ministers are telling us how fast the world
is growing bett er—bow the'very millennium
is upon us? It is to be feared we can'bardly
exert just the moral influence that is needed
over the Mormons till the States are reform-
ed. Professor Austin Phelps says: ‘ We are
not half awake to the fact that by. our laws
of divorce and our toleration of the social
evil, we are doing more to corrupt the Na-
tion‘s heart than Mormonism, tenfold.’ ”

I notice that many young men come hither
hoping to get employment as bookkeepers,
writes a correspondent of the Utica Harald
from New York. They have an idea that
large salaries are paid, and that it is a very
desirable berib. To such I would say that
there‘are hundreds of this class now out of
employment and that the pay is generally
small. -I mention this because the self-
styled “ 'commercial colleges " are practicing
a constant deception. They convey the im-
pression that their graduates immediately
obtain employment in the city and hence
they attract pupils. The graduates, how-
ever, only come hither to meet disappoint-
ment. The ordinary salaries paid to book-
kecpcrs vary from $500 to double that sum.
In large establishments like Claflin‘s or
Stewhrt’s there is a bend bookkeeper, who
receives $2,000, or perhaps, $2,500, but the
assistants are poorly paid. In such estab-
lishments there are various grades of work,

out bills, while others intend to the posting,
and another set :0 corrcspmdence. When a
clerk gets into such a place he may stay
there for years, with but little chance of pro-
motion, whilc, if- tbc firm fails, be is turned
adrift. A large number of insurance 'elerks
have recently been thrown out of employ-
ment by the retirement of a half dozen
companies crushed out by the competition.
What a sad prospect for these poor fellows,
most of whom have families depending upon
them. They may starve before an opening
oflers. The pressure to obtain bookkeepers’
situations is so great that an advertisement
brings a flood of applications. It is a pain-
ful spectacle to see the pallid ceuntcnances
of so unfortunate a crowd, but in New York
one gets used to such things. The large
business house have their books kept by
double entry, ii. meth‘, invented by the
Italians. The first treatise on this. subject
was printed in Venice in 1495. From the
same place we get the term “ hankrupt”—all
of which shows the commercial nature of
that city to which Shakespeare has given
additional fame. Double entry bookkeep-
ing presumes a perpetual balance, and is
therefore a beautiful method, but for a small
business single entry is sufficient, The
most fortunate hookkeepers are those em—
ployed in banks. The salary is generally
$1,500, and such berths are very highly
valued, because the day’s work is generally
of limited extent, while the employment is
of permanent character. Appointments of
this kind are only obtained through strong
influence, but as there is no half-pay system
a bookkeeper is liable to be turned out on
the charities of the world whencveg he be-
comes (through age .or illness) untitled for

service.

Eoos AS Econ—Eggs are a cheap'and nu-
tritious form of food and easily difiested, if
not damaged in cooking. A raw or soft-
boiled egg is almost as easily assimilated as
milk, and can be eaten with impunity by
children and invalids. The average egg
weighs a thousand grains; and it is worth
much more as food than so much beefstcak,
Indeed, there is'no more concentrated and
nourishing food than eggs. The albumen,
oil, and saline matter are, as in milk, in just
the right proportion for sustaining animal
life. When eggs bring no more than twenty
cents per dozen, it is much better economy
to find a market for them in the family than
at the store. Two or three properly boiled
eggs, with the addition of a slice or two or
bread, will make a breakfast sufficient for a
man, and good en‘odgfl't‘for if king. An ord-
inary hcn’s egg weighs from one and a half-
to two ounces,a duck’s egg from two to three
ounces, the-egg of the sea-gull and the
turkey from three to four canoes, and the
egg of a goose from four to six ounces. The
solid matter and the oil in the duck’segg
exceed those in the hen‘s egg by about one-
fourth. According to Dr. Edwin Smith, in.
his treatise on “Foods,” an egg weighing an
ounce and three-quarters, consists of 120
grains of carbon and 19.85 grains of nitrogen
or 15.25 per centum of carbon and 2 per cen-
tum of nitrogen—Plu'enolgy and Health
Almanac.

town of Hardenburg, Ulster county, N. Y..

carries enough phosphorus in his body to
make at least 4,000 of the ordinary two-cent

Stone in the Bladder Expelled by using
Dr. Kennedy’s “Favorite Remedy.”

Mr, S. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess
00., N. Y.. the son ol'illlr. E. S. Hicks, whore
name may have appeared in this journal in con-
nection with an article similar to this, was, lire
his father afllicted with Stone‘in the Bladder, only
that his case was more serious than his father’s.
0n» the appearance of the disease the father ad-
vised the sou to write to Dr. David Kennedy,“
Rondout, N. Y., who, he said, would tell him
what to do. Dr. Kennedy replied, suggesting the
use of “Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy,” which had
worked so successfully in the father’s case. Mr.
Hicks, who had been assured by local physicians
that they could do nothing more for him, trie‘d
“ Favorite Remedy” at a venture. After two
weeks’ use of it he passed a stone if of an inch
long and of the thickness of a pipe stem.» Since
then he has bad no symptoms of the return of the
trouble. Here is a sick man healed. What better
results could have been expected ? ~thit greater
benefit could medical science confer? The end
was gained; that is surely enough. Dr. Kenne-
dy assures the public, by a reputation which he
cannot nfi’ord to forfeit or imperil,that tho “Fa-
vorite Remedy” does invigorate the Blood, cures
Liver, Kidney and Bladder complaints, as well as
all these diseases and weaknesses peculiar to fe-
fiaalcs. “Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy! for

She ,Midnlghi; Train,
Across the dull and brooding night
A giant flies with demon light

And breath of wreatbing smoke;
Around him whirls the reeling plain.
And with a dash of dim disdain

He cleaves the sundercd rock.

In lonely swamps the low wind stirs
The belt of black funereal firs
That murmur to the sky,
Till, startled by his mad career,
They seem to keep a hash of fear
As if a god swept by.

Through many a dark,wild heart of heath;
O’er booming bridges, where beneath
A mighty river brawls;
By ruins, remnants of the past,
Their ivies trembling in the blast,
By singing waterfalls.

The slumb’rer on his silent bed
Turns to the light his lonely bead,
Divested of its dream; ,
. Long leagues of gloom are hurried o’er
Through tunnel sheaths, with iron roar,
And shrill night-tending scream.

Past huddliug huts, past flying farms,
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
Are grappling with the night,
He tears along receding lands,
To where the ,kingiy city stands,
Wrapt in a robe of light.

Here round each wide and gushing gate
A crowd of eager faces wait, '
And every smile is known.
We thank thee, 0 then Titan train,
Thatgin the city once again
We clasp our loved, our own.

Frequent impurities are foufid by micro-
scopic investigations to exist in the diamond.
Organic matter, carbon and bubbles of gas
are common impurities. Quartz, chlorite,
pyrite and hematite have recently been dis-
covered in diamonds, and small caytals of
topaz have also been seen.

Paul.Marcoy has described a leaf of the
giant water lily (Victoria Regia), found in
Lake Nuns, Peru, as measuring 24 feet 931
inches in circumference, and weighing be-
tween 13 and 14 pounds. One of the flow-
ers was 4 feet 2 inches in circumference, and
weighed 3% pounds. The outer petals were
9 inches long.

Some valuable relics discovered at Nine- .
vah, in the form of fine ivory carvings,
showed signs of crumbling on arrival in
England. Concluding that loss of albumen
was the cause of the decay, Prof. Owen
boiled the articles. The experiment proved
entirely successful, and the ivory was re-
stored to its original firmness as wellns solid-
ity.

Remarkable wind pressures are experienc-
ed in India. On October 5, 1864, two passen-
ger trains, one of eight vehicles and the
other of twelve, were upset on the Eastern
Bengal railway,all the cars being overturned.
Several‘cars were started from sidiugs by the
force of the wind. On September 21, 1878
along train was traveling on the same rail:
way at a speed of about eight miles an hour,
and was brought to a standstill by a heavy
storm and forced back about a mile with full
steam and brakes against it. It _was found
difiiicult to proceed after detaching half of
the train. Instances of this kind are said to
be frequent on Indian railways.

The red spot on the planet Jupiter still at-
tracts a large share of attention from astro-
nomical observers. This spot is of an ellip-
tical form with tapering ends, and covers a
vast area, being 29,000 miles long, and 8,300
broad. 'I‘he mysterious appearance was ob-
served more than three years ago,siuce which
time its form seems not to have materially
altered,- although the ordinary dark bands
crossing Jupiter’s disc are in a state of con-
stant change. Speculations as to the nature
of the red spot have been, numerous but not
very satisfactory. The dark lines across the
planet are believed to be due to atmospheric
movements, and the suggestion that the red
spot is :5 portion of the body of the planet
which has in some unknown w'ay become
visible through the atmospheric envelope
seems as plausible as any offered.

M. Gayon has been studying the phylloxera
of the French vineyards with the object of
discovering, if possible, some parasitic or-
ganism which might be propagated and made
to destroy the phylloxera. He has found
such organisms, and has striveu to cultivate
them, but with doubtful results. He is pur-
suing the investigation further. The ravages
of the phylloxera have become a source of
great loss to vine-growers of France, and.
any researches promising ultimate relief from
the pest are eagerly encouraged.

It is shown by M. Paul Bertis’ investiga-
tions that green light hinders the growth of
plants, which soon wither and die as if in
darkness. M. Reguard finds that the plants
.pecially require red light, and soon cease to
thrive if. the red rays are removed from sun-
light.

The probility that nearly every large town
or city will soon be supplied with large quan-
titles of electricity for lighting purposes has
given rise to considerable interest in the plan
of making use of the same supply for light
household work. Several small motors have
been devised to meet the expected demand.
The first of the so little machines was con-
structed about three years ago by M. Marcel
Deprez, and was found to work effectively.
A second apparatus of this kind has for
some time been used by M. Trouvé, an elec-
tro-magnet being used in place of the perma.
nent steel magnet of Deprez. This motor
drives a sewing machine very readily, al-
though it is of very small size. Trouve’s
little electric canoe at the Paris electrical ex-
hibtiou was propelled by some of these eu-
gines, and M. Tissandier has suggested their
use for balloon‘steering. The last and best
motor is that of Mr. Griscom, the American
electrician. One of these powerful little
machines four and a half inches long, and
weighing little more than two pounds, will
run a sewing machine very rapidly with a
small expenditure of electric energy. The
lack of labor-saving conveniences in the
household has often been deplored, but the
introduction of electricity seems to offer a
source of power which may serve in many
ways to lighten the toil of the weary house-
wife.

Electrical exhibitions are likely to become
epidemic. Close upon the Paris exhibition
came a proposition to hold one at the Crystal
Palace, London; and alike project is now on
foot at St. Petersburg. Americans are singu-
larly backward in organizii’g such an enter- '
prise.

WORSHIP or Arrsrrrn.-—The cook of the
middle ages was a lordly autocrat, and his
sceptre, along wooden spoon, was also used
as a means of punishment. Brillat Savariu
tells this story: “An Italian prince, who had
a Sicilliau cook of great excellence—the
cooks of Sicily were famous even in the days
of ancient Rome—was once traveling to his
provincial estates, taking with him his entire
batten? dc cuisine and his Sicilian cook. At
a point where the narrow path along the
precipice turned the angle of a projecting
rock, the prince, at the head of his long cav-
alcsde, heard a shriek and the splash of a
body falling into the torrent far below.

With a face white with terror, he pulled up.

and, looking back, exclaimed, ‘The cook 1
the cook '1 Holy Virgin, the cook 1’ ‘N o,your
excellency, cried a voice from the rear; ‘it is

Don Prosdocimo 2’ The prince heaved a sigh
of profound relief. ;_"Ah! only the Chaplain 1

said he‘. ‘Heaven be thanked! ’ ”—Plirml-
egg and Health Almanac.
