When Grief shall come to thee,
Think not to flee,
For Grief, with steady pace;
Will win the race; .
Nor crowd, her forth with Mirth
For at thy;hearth,
, When Mirth is tired and gone,
Will Grief sit on;
But make of her thy friend,
And in the end
Her counsels will grow sweet:
And, with swift feet, ‘
Three lovelier than she
Will come to thee—
Calm Patience, Courage strong,
And Hope—ere long.

ON THE WHEEL.
* * * Undemonstrative as that citizen
is apt to be toward the ordinary stranger,
the spectacle presented by a smoothly-glid.
ing wheel-man somehow warms the {cookies
of his heart, and likewise loosens his tongue.
He usually manifests his good will by
“passing the time 0’ day" in one form or
another, instead of maintaining his- custo-
mary unsociable silence, and not unfrcquent-
ly, when driving a horse that readily keeps
him alongside, he is tempted into an extend-
ed, though perforce rather fragmentary,
conversation. It is not until the bicycler
dismounts, however, that the degree to which
his wheel has put him on “easy speaking
acquaintance" with a great variety of people
becomes fully apparent. Whether in city
or in country, he quickly becomes the centre
of an interested conclave, all intensely eager
tolearn about his movements and inspect
at close quarters the ne'w-fangled mechanism
and all at the same time rather sby‘of di-
rectly flaking questions which may be re-
sented as impertinent'by such a distinguished
traveller. While engaged in wiping - or
oiling or adjusting his wheel, he is cheerfully
conscious that the first brief period-of silent
awe on the part of the by-standcrs will be
followed by the offering of various leading
suggestions and speculations from one to
the other which they designfihim to overhear
and reply to, and that, under the encourage-
ment of acivii explanation on his part, the
usual battery of questions will be fired off
and the “conversation become general.” To
know the price of the machine is the uni-
versal wish; yet the question is not often
‘fistly put withonbia'prcfacc of decorous
apology for asking it. One common way of
beating around the bush is to profess having
"made a bet” on the subject which the
owner only is competent to settle, and will
he therefore kindly consent to tell? “We
know it’s none of our business“, boss, but—”
"We don’t like to trouble you. colonel, but
—" “I hope you won’tthink me impartinent
sir, but—” Such are the common introduc-
tions to requests for information on this, that,
or the other .point.
It may seem to thy unreilecting as if a
man must at last grow inexpressibly tired of
replying over and :over again to the self-
same inquiries proponnded by different sets
of people. I should be afraid to guess the
number of hundred times I have “answered
the anxious” by saying that the price of
bicycles varies from seventy-five to one.
hundred and seventy-five dollars or more,
according to the size, make, and finish; that
the tire is of rubber, and that the ‘,cut” in
the same is not the result of an accident, but
simply the point of junction where the two
ends are cemented together; that the spokes
arc steel wires plated with nlckle and not
with silver which furnishes more readily;
that the cyclcmetcr revolves with the axle
and registers the distance, the big pointer
moving along one notch on.the hundred-
mile dial every time the little pointer moves
entirely around the mile-dial ; that I ride a
smaller wheel than most men having my
length of leg, and that long-legged riders
can propel a much larger one ; that the sad-
dle-bag is filled with oil-cans, wrenches and
rags' rather than with cigars and whiskey-
fia‘sks; that the instrument “keeps its bal-
ance" without cornicions effort of the person
who isastride it, and can be readily master-
ed by any one; that the act of learning it is
merely a mental process, like the act of
learning to swim,———“whenever a man thinks
he can do it, he can do it,”—aud that the
time requisite for getting the mind up to the
point of conviction may vary from a few
minutes to several weeks, (according to the
individual concerned; that in respect to the
English record of “best times,”,_Walier has
ridden fourteen hundred and four miles in
— six successive days of eighteen hours each

without a dismount,) Terront, three hun-
dred and forty miles in twenty-four hours,
Appleyard, one hundred miles on the road
from Bath to London in seven hours nine-
teen-minutes (including seventy miles with-
out stop, in four hours fifty minutes), Cor-
tis, twenty miles in an hour, and Ediiu, a
single mile in two'minutcs forty-six and one
half seconds; that forty thousand bicycles
are owned in London and its environs, and
three times that number elsewhere in Eng-
land, of which some two thousand two
hundred were massed together in simultan-
eous motion at the last annual parade at
Hampton Court; that upward of five thou-
sand are certainly known to be owned in the
United States, while the true number is
presumedly nearer ten thousand, judging
from the fact that more than eight hundred
were present at the Boston parade; thatI
myself, while touring through the country,
cover a daily distance of from twenty-five
to fifty miles, according 10 the state of the
roads, the winds, the weather, and my own
free fancy, though I once rode seventy-five
miles in a day without special effort; that
the legs do not become stiff and weary, as
in walking, because they do not have to lift
the weight of the body; that the saddle is
not too small for comfort; that the wire
spokes are not too small for safety; that the '
rear wheel is not to small for swiftness; that
the, bell and lantern employed by some
riders seem needless encumbrances; that I
can ride up-hili when the road is good;
that the sand and mud are the chief obstacles
to progress; that I do not frigbtcnliorses.
Many hundred'of times have I, "by spec-
ial request,” rung the changes on all four
foregoing statements and innumerable others
of similar character, and many thousand of
times more do I expect to expound them for
enlightenment of fresh relays of sympathet-
ically inquisitive fellow-citizen whom I hope
in future years to meet in distant States
and cities. The unreflecting are at fault
when they assume that this 'sort of talk
must necessarily grow wearisome from more
repitition. On the contrary, the delight in
one’s hobby is, like white-winged hope, a
sentinient that springs eternal in the human
breast; As long ass man continues to find
supreme enjoj’mént-ln propelling “ bicycle,
so long must he causinuei to. take Pflde and
pleasure in cxpgtlati'ng concerning it tothe
new groups of auditors ‘who gather expec-
tantly about him. Sincere sympathy from
any source is always, sweet, and one of. the
dearest delights of a hobby-rider is to meet
with people who manifest a disposition to
view his hobby admiringly and to exagger-
ate its relative importance with somethlnl
of his own enthusiasm. It is not permissible
to trot out a hobby before one’s friends.
for the-owuer, from the mere fact of hav-
ing the hobby, is rendered incapable of de-
' terminiug the point at which theirexpres;
sions of interest in the blessed beast'cease to
take active inspiratiog from the some and
O
begin to rest on the mere-passive basis of
' personal politeness toward himself. In other
words, ,he stands in constant; peril of be-
coming a bore. But no such calamity can
possibly overhang the man who discourses
concerning his hobby to a self-summoned
audience of strangers, nor, as they are not
der the slightest conventional obligation
listen to him or to encourage him in talk-
ing, such partiality as they gmay exhibit in
those directions must ,be in the highest de-
. grec genuine. Thus there isflrmly establish-
ed at the outset one of the surest safeguards
- for free conversation that shall be mutually
entertaining to those who participate.
It must by no means be inferred, however
thot the tourist who prizes his wheel ‘as a
convenient device for demonstrating that the
noblest study of mankind is man confines
the examination of his fellow-mortals to
conversations of this single cast wherein he
himself is always sure. of speaking as an ex:
pert to an interested interlocutor. 'Tha talk
about bicycling is often a mere introduction
an exchange 'of‘ credentials, a bridge across
the chasm which separates men of different
pursuits, a pleasant prelude productive of
confidence wherefrom follows more exten-
sive talks on a great variety of topics. It is
hard to imagine a man so ignoraiit or inex-
perienced or so stupid as not to be interes-
ting if once he can be made to talk about his
specialty; and I glory in the bicycle because
of its magnetic power in drawing to the sur.
face the quaint characteristics of many
peculiar people which they could never b0
tempted to reveal to the casual stranger
not possessed of this persuasive instrument.

ening interchangesof sentiment which take
place in country bar-rooms and city lager.
beer- saloons may also be freely overheard
by the bicycler, absorbed as he seems to be
in cleaning and polishing of his machine.
Without this his presence would be looked
upon with vague suspicion and hostility,
and, unless he should “set up the drinks”
several times and thus “ma kc himself one of
the boys,"ga lull. would. soon _fali.onvtha
gathering, and an uneasy‘sensation of being.
watched by the coldly-critical'eye of a re-
spectable interloper not of their class would
render the conversationalists unable to main-
tain their customary _,- sprightliness and
"tone.” But thé bummers and'besr-gnzzlers
do not resent as intrusive the presence of the
stranger who runs a wheel. They accept
him as one of themselves. He is a fellow-
sportsman,‘a member of “the fancy,” a man
“working to win a bet.” They assume the
necessity of his “dubbing the race on time"
as a satisfactory excuse for his [temporary
abstention from strong drink. Hence his
refusal to share in thei‘ifirevels and his keep
ing his own counsel do not lower him in the
their respect .or create :a' coolness against
him. They go right on in their customary
lying and bragging to one another as unre-
servedly as if the unsuspected student who
is carefully taking to heart,{tbe,,lesson in
life thus presented were a thousand miles
away.
All amusing tribute to the gracefulness
a'ud ease of bicycling is unconsciously paid
by every urchin who cries, “Let her out,
mister l” or, “Why don’t you go faster r" to
a rider who is already proceeding as rapidly
as a horse usually trots. ~The cry shows that
noise and an appearance of violent muscular
effort are so associated in the mind of the
spectator with the notion of swiftness that
he cannot readily grasp it in their absence :
he cannot easily believe his eyes when they
alone tell him that this noiseless apparition
with the slowly and smoothly-moving legs
is really flying. fast over the ground. _ There
is something comic, too, about the manifest
inability of all classes of people to accept
the “tour a-wheelback” with any degree of
seriousness to regard it in the sachight as
they regard a journey made with;the help
of a heavier vehicle which has to be pro-
pelled by steam or horse-power. If a man
in abuggy, stopping in front of a village
tavern towatcr his;borse,:sbould announce
that he was riding through the country for
his own recreatiou,,:nc one, would think of
asking him, “How far can you driveiin a
day ?” nor would it occur to any one that he
was spending his vacation in 11 particularly
unreasonable manner; nor yet woulda doubt
beraised‘as to the probability of his returning
at his journcy’s end to the same common-
place and unobtrusive mode of earning a
livelihood to which he had presumedly been
accustomed. But a man on a bicycle is as.
sumed by everybody to be testing his speed, .
to be spending his entire physical cnergy‘on
the problem of covering the greatest possible
number of miles in a given time. He is hlso
assumed to keep up" his character continu-
ously, at least to the extent of having ild'
other regular occupation or pursuit. No one
for is moment thinks of him as an ordinary
work-a-day member of society, who, when
his brief outing is ended, resumes» the
common garb of civilizatidn and bears ”a
hand again in the common battle for bread
and butter. The bar-room gentry, as al-
ready remarked, accept him as “a sport,”
and yield to him ai his rightful due the dc-
ference they would humbly extend to a priie
fighter, or collar-'andelbow wrestler, or dis-
tinguished gambler, or successful horse.
jockey, or the winner of a long-distance
walking match. This theory, that the rider
must be "racing on a bet,” is also widely
prevalent outside the bar-rooms. Second
only to it in popularity is the notiOn that he
is' an agent for the sale of machines, or at
least that the manufacturers thereof pay him
a salary for wheeling himself through the
country as an advertisement for them, even
if he is not an out-and-out "drummer.”
Others, again, evidently look upon the bicy-
cler as a creature of infinite leisure, a favor-
ored chm of fortune, who has morosely
turned his back on “society” in weariness of
the conventional pleasures to which it re-
stricts the possessor of wealth, and who has
'now recklessly thrown hitn‘self‘upon the
wheel as a last despera'fe resource forgetting
Erid of his superfluous time and money.
When I respond to the customary inter-
rogations by saying that I don’t know “how
:far I could ride in a day,” because I never
tried to “make a record ;” that su'ch’brief
bits of leisure as can be watched from the
routine business of life I devote to bicycling
simply “for the fun of it," because it is the
7cheapcst, healthiest, arid sWiftest way yet
devised for seeing something of the country
and its people; that, though I should be sore
and stiff and weary at the close of a day
spent in a carriage whens. horse had dragged
fifty miles, I can from my perch of pig-skin
ipropei myself a similar distance in a similar
clime without any similar evil results; when
":I utter commenplaoe truth of- this sort, I
:always do it with an amused consciousness
'that my sceptical auditors are severally as.
signing to me in their crafty minds the va-
grions ulterior motives before mentioned as
somehow seeming to them a more plausible
éexplanation of my conduct than the motive
"which lies plainly on the surface. It is not
to be denied, however, that tbs spectacle
.often presented by a wheel-man coming in
’at night, reeking with perspiration, his tat-
tered garments discolored by dust does seem
fatrifieiuconsistlmt with his claim that he
has had a pleasant 'and any day of it; and
if, under such circumstances, a cynic,
;_wielding his fan on the veranda, is led to
repeat the remark that “life would be a very
endurablq thing were It not for its nmuge-
'mcnts,” I certainly shall not begrudge him
his mild indulgence. It seems probable,
furthermore, that the scepticism as to the
fact of a bicycle-tour being undertaken
*‘mereiy for fun” would be less pronounced
where a large party were seen participating
in the-amusement; for T the. astonishing .lsok
of resource in himself possessed by the
average man is revealed by his inability even
to comprehend the notion of another man's
sticking to solitude as a matter of preference
whenion» pleasure;bsut. The loneliness of
the alleged sport is the; lait straw which fixes
his belief that something else besides sport
must be “behind" bicycling. “Admitting
everything ’ you claim about the ease and
exhilaration of the pastime, what conceiva-
ble pleasure can be found in taking long
tours through the country all alone !” Such
is the “clincher” into which his scepticism
is ultimately ' condensed. My customary
reply to it is in this oracular form: “The
pleasure of ‘riding alone’ depends very much
on whether or not a man takes good com-
pany with him.’: It is often funny to watch
the facial expression cf the people to whom
this explanation is offered. Some smile
dubiously. some are perplexed, some think
the speaker is “a little off;" even the bar-
keeper has been observed to relax ' his heavy
brows,as if trying to grapple with a thought.
The Peruvian Safe in Port.
Quansc, May 23.—The steamer Peruvian,
which hasgbeen twenty-six days out, arrived
at this port at 5 p. in. to-day in tow of the
tug Rocket and the steamship Arcadian,
from St. Pierre, Miquelon. Her passage was
both an eventful and tedious one, owing to,
ice. severe storms, fogand damage to her
screw, and at one time she owed . her safety
to a providentisl change in the wind of! Cape
Ray. Her difficulties began a few days pre-
vious. Icebergs were seen, but on the morn-
ing of May '7, theytenth day after sailing,
nothing could be'seen ahead» but an immense
field of ice, extending as far as the eye could
reach, and about a dozen ships were passed
during' the day which had come to anchor,
waiting for the ice to break. At 11 o’clock
that night the Peruvian was unable to pro-
ceed any further. The next morning she put
on full steam and made a desperate effort to
break her way through the icy barrier, but
had not gone far before she broke her screw,
and lay helplessly fast bound. The steam-
ship Lake Huron lay in sight behind, and two
other steamers, one of which was supposed
to be the Polynesian. ' -
On May 9 a snow storm set in, whose-dill
piriting effect it took all the efforts of the
most persistent Mark Tapleys on board to,
counteract. On the 10th the outlook was
still far from cheering.nThe steerage pas-
sengers were reduced to short rations on the
event, of the vessel being detained in the ice
for a month, which then appeared to be by
no means an unlikely. event. Biscuits were
ordered to be served out only every other
morning and oatmeal gruel was altogether
dispensed with, a hardship which was keenly
felt by the women and children. On .,the,
111th the ice began to move, but the vessel
made but very little progress. , The weather
was beautifully clear and at night northern
lights made a magnificent display. Nothing
eventful occurred to disturb ,the monotony
on board until the 14th when a commotion
arose over the apprehension of a.man.wbo
had been caught rifiing some trunks: The
Irish section would have lynched him had it
not been for the intervention of the steward
and for the remainder of the trip the man had;
to be escorted to his meals and to go on deck
for safety immediately after. The “Lake
Huron” had by this time got up steam and
cleared her way through the floating ice.
0n the 16th not a vessel was in sight and the
ice became thicker than evcrvand .she was
blown so close to the land that it was feared
she would go ashore, but the wind veering
round she was enabled to get out in the open
sea again. On the 17th a schooner hove in
sight and was signalled, a boat was lowered
and the parser got on board with instruc-
tions to makefor the nearest telegraph station
to send news to Quebec. At 8 p. in. he had
not returned though anxiously expected, and
rockets were fired e'very ten minutes. 0n
the 18th a schooner came in sight, but could
not get alongside owing to the ice and the
captain and purser walked over the ice which
was in lumps of about forty feet thick and
fifty wide, to the steamer from which a boat
yvas lowered and they were taken on board.
The pnrser brought the good tidings that
three steamers were on the lookout for the
distressed vessel since the 11th. After bail-
ing a couple of steamers which proved to be
strangers the crew and passengers had the
delight of being hailed by the Griffin and
shortly afterwards by the Acadian with pro-
visions on board. The Peruvian was taken
in tow by the Acadian, the Griffin keeping
alongside, and on the 2lst the tug Rocket
also came to the rescue, and in tow of the
Arcadian and Rocket she came in port this
afternoon. Thus ended this prolonged voy-
age, with, fortunately, no loss, of life, but an
addition to the living freight, for two infants
first saw the light amid those untoward cir-
cumstances. One of them was christened
Allan, after the steamship company. About .
eight hundred passengers were. on board,
most of whom are bound for Ontario and the
northwest. The above account is taken
from the diary of one of the steeragc passen-
gers, and gives but an inadequate idea of the
scene of anguish and hope deferred which
must have taken place during this prolonged
voyage. ~
The powerful tug Progress, which had
been first sent to the assistance of the Peru-
vian, took fire opposite Green Island and was
completely destroyed. Three of the crew
are missing. About six sailing ships also
came in tc-day. One, the George Gilroy of
Grunock, was twenty days in the ice. The
captain reports the icebergs the largest he
ever saw, being from three hundred “to three
hundred and fifty feet high and in full from
one to threemilca in length. When of Cape
Aquila he noticed a ship of 1,000 tons ashore
with her masts all gone. The crew could be
seen ashore walling up and down with their
hats and coats spread on the ground as if to
dry. Owing to the large quantities of ice it
was impossible to approach the shore. He
passed some fifty sailing vessels and three
steamers. . .

Connecticut, in the opinion of our es-
teemed contemporary, the.Wate.ibury Re-
publican, is destined to emerge from the list
of doubtful states. In proof of this, the
triumph of two years ago is cited, and that
of last year, which included “once demo-
cratic Waterbury.” ‘Onr enthusiastic con-
temporay adds; “This state is surely and
naturally becoming republican in its citizen-
ship, while such exhibitions ,of regards for
the best interests of the commonwealth as
the present state administration and the
present republican general assembly have
given commend republican principles to the
public at large. The republican party can,
therefore, even in doubtful counties and
doubtful and democratic towns, enter into
the approaching contest with enthusiasm,
feeling that every blow struck for republi-
can principles is a contribution to the even.
'tual triumph in the state at large of those
principles.” This is all true, and a realiza-
tiou of it ought to incite our friends through-
out the state to quietly work among their
democratic neighbors for the advancement
of republican ideas. The best time to make
converts of young men about to cast their
first vote is in seasons of political calm such
as the coining summer will be.

' A Gallant Seaman.
So much has been said and written of late
years by doleful J cremiabs of our merchant
marine that an impre'ssiou__ has gone abroad
that the race of American “seamen was fast
dwindling away, and would soon be as ex-
tinct as the ichthyosaurus or the dude.
Every now and then' some bold mariner, as
if to disprove this prevalent idea avails him-
self of one of those occasions of which the
ocean is fruitful, to permrm some notable
exploit worthy of the brightestfiays and mos
famous names recorded in the annals of
American scamanship. The latest feat of
this character must _be set down to credit
of Captain Albert C. Burrows, commander
of the Mallory line steamship Rio Grande,‘
which reached her birth, pier 20, East river,
last Friday afternoon, after a series of ad:
ventures without counterpart in history.
Briefly» told, this is the story: The Rio
Grande was on her way from Galveston‘to'
hold and ninety-seven passenng in her
cabins. The voyage had been a pleasant
one, and last Tuesday the passengers were
hopefully expecting to reach New York the
next day, when suddenly it was discovered
that the steamer was on fire, the ship being
then ninety miles north cf the Delaware
Breakwater. .The fire was somewhere in
the cargo and could not be reached by pour-
ing water through the hatches. The only
recourse was to run into shoal water and
submerge the steamer to her deck beams.
The great danger was that the fire might ob.
tain‘such headway as (to destroy the ship
before reaching shoal water. Fertunstely
an Italian bark, the Bettina, was in sight.
The captain overhauled her and transferred
all his passengers to her. ~ There was neither
panic nor" confusion. After the transfer
Captain Burrows coolly todk time enough to
collect such delicacies and comforts as the
passengers would need, which he put On
board the Bettina, and then bidding them
farewell he headed his ship for' shoal water.
Dense smoke poured from her hatches,
showing that the fire was making headway,
but nothing daunted, Captain Burrows 'kept'
her on her course, and reached the Delaware
capes in safety. In twenty-seven hours fi'dm
the time fire was discovered the captain'hsd
his ship submerged. Twenty-four hours
later, with the flames extinguished and the
water pumped out, the order was given to
start the furnace fires, and soon the ship re-
sumed her voyage having sufiered no mate-
riai damage, the cargo only being injured.
On Thursday evening he overhauled the Bet-
tino once more, to the great astonishment of
the passengers who looked. upon Captain
Barrows almost “as onerisen from the dead.”
They "were transcfrred to the Rio Grande,
and in due time were landed in New York
as. already stated. It' was said when iron
steamships began to replace wooden vessels,
that ,tbe romance of the sea would be de-
stroyed. That can never be so long as there
is opportunity for such adventures as those
in which the Rio Grande’s passengers
shared. Nor will American seamanship be
a thing of the past while men of Captain
Burrows's mould Command our sea-going
vessels.

A Law-Breaking Governor.
Governor _Mattocks found himself late
one Saturday night in Guildhall, Vt., forty
miles from home. It was against the law to
travel on Sunday,except to and from church,
and, as the governor had many enemies, he
knew that, should he violate the law, he
should be called before the court. However
he wanted to go home, and drove to Con-
cord, where be stopped over night, and
after an early breakfast Sunday morning, he
resumed his journey toward Peacham,study-
ing up his defense for thesuit as be journey-
ed along. On arriving at Barnet a happy
thought struck him, and on his way out to
Peacham he drove up to Rev. Dr. Good-
willie’s church at Barnet center, hitched his
horse, and, in sight of somebody’s house rail:
ed the latch of the church door. But it was
locked, there being no meeting that day.
From there he drove on home [and accom-
plished his object. o
The next day he was taken into the pres-
ence of a Barnet justice to answer for vio-
lating the Sunday law. His 'defen'se was
that having spent a week with the nnrigbt-
eons men 'of the Essex county bar, he felt
the need of church influence, 'and as his
friendGoodwille was the most righteous man
he knew he desired to place himself within
the sound of his voice on the Sabbath.
Having traveled with that end in view and
found the good man’s house closed he
thought, being" withina few miles of his
own house, that it would be more scriptural
to go home than to spend thc‘rest of the day
traveling back to Concord to have is week-
day start forhome the next'morning.. The
plea prevailed, for the governor had his wit-
nesses from the house near the church to
point much needed. as he was at the time
not in the habit of going to church very of-
ten.—London Union. . . ‘ .
City Peeple in the Country.
City people go to the country for heatlh.
Most who do, so gain somewhat in vigor, but
mainly because of the change incue’s current
of thought, relief from mental stmiuimpler
diet, and more physical exercise. [But they
often less much they might gain, and, if not
prostrated by sickness, very many-carry home
the seeds of disease, that earlier or later de-
velop into suffering if not ultimating in dqath.
And this. beware of: ignorance or neglect on
a singlepoint. ‘ The pavements ‘orhard sur-
faces of city streets; tho brick walls and even
tin wooden ones of the compact dwel-
ings, absorb heat during the day and re-
tain it up to midnight,partially until morning.
This beat radiates slowly from such surfaces,
and air currents, obstructed by the buildings
do not circulate freely to carry heat away.-
For this reaspn city people can sit on porches
or verandas, or in rooms with windows all
open, until a late hour, withut any marked
chilliness. But in the country, the soil and
vegetation quickly radiate into the day's ac
cumulation of warmth. and before the sun
touches the horizon" the temperature of the
atmosphere is rapidly falling. Hence those
who carry city habits in to the country, sit-
ting out doors or before open windows in
the evening, neglecting to put on additional
clothing. at sundown, and .morellit a later
hour if needed, are pretty sure to lay the
foundation of_catarriis, colds, and lung dis-
cases, that largely counteract, if not entirely
overbalance, the benefit derived. Attention
to this one item will in most cases, in con-
nection with other advantages named above.
make a few months, weeks, or days even,
spent in the country, of inestimable value to
every dweller in any densely populated city.
*Amerl'can Agricultural.
Irish potatoes continue to arrive from Great
British, Germany, Nova Scotia, Prince Ed-
ward's Island and New Brunswick. Over a
million and ahslf sacks of these vegetables

vsoaraanss' am) GROCERIES-‘HOW TO BUY
AND USE THEM.
- [From Our Continent.)
Vegetables are each year becoming a more
and more important part of the bill of fare,
and even at remdte distances freni great
markets canning has made it possible for,
every housekeeper tosupply her table with
a variety. Where vegetables must be bought,
whether in large towns or cities, the winter
supply should, if possible, be laid in early in
the season. Unless, however, the cellar is
cool and dry there will be no saviugin this,
as in a damp or warm one all will. either
sprout or quickly begin to decay, and thus
render it bettereconomy to buy in small
quantities as needed. Carrots, turnips, pars-
nips, beets and cabbageskeep better if cov-
ered with sand. Potatoes should be inas
dark a place as possible, as light makes them
should be kept in a very dry room.
, Very early vegetables from the South are
regarded as great luxuries,a'nd the price cer-
tainly places them under that head. But
while Bermud tatoes are good, our own
old ones are more mealy, and with care last
perfectly well till J uiy, when the new, ones
are in season. Southern green peas command
muchmora advantageously be replaced by
the French canned pass or petite pols, one
can of which is enough for six persons, and
costs but forty ‘cents.’ I'n‘the same way
canned tomatoes will servc‘every purposé of
the fresh ones, save as salad. and while there
are many who will buy forced vegetables,
people of moderate incomeswbo' cannot
afford such expenditure need never feel that
they lose very seriously. . By sending direct
to the factory one can be secured of freshly
put when and vegetabies at a decided re-
duction, and especially if two or three fami-
lies club together and a quantity is bought.
Fruit can be canned at home with better re-
sults than have yet been obtained in factory
work, but tomatoes, corn and various ”other
vegetables are sure to satisfy and also to cost
less then if put up at home.
All canned articles musti‘be kept in a cool,
dry place, and if in glass; darkness is - also
essential. This implies'astorcroom of some
sort, and such a place is as essential, no mat-
ter how simple the housekeeping, as buying
in dribiets is not only in itself: constant an-
noyance, but makes the cost of supplies fully
a third more yearly. Objection to this is
often made by husbands on the ground that
with a quantity in the house there is reckless
use; and waste. This might be so were ser-
vants allowed free access, but the careful
housekeeper will never permit this. Supplies
should be given out each week, and far bet-
ter knowledge 'of what is actually required
by a fainily will be had in this way than
were the hop hazard system of. sending out
for a thingronly when it is needed for use is
adopted. Troublesome as it may seem to
settle definitely the average consumption of
each week, it is an art soon mastered, and
insures finally a wiser economy and a better
knowledge of what a fixed sum can do than
any other method. .1 ' ,
Flour improves with-age and costs far less
if bought by the barrel than in small quanti-
ties. The drier the place in which it is kept
the better, a dry, cool place being the stand-
ard rule for all stores. If there is room it is
better to have two barrels, e of old process
or St. Louis flour, the other the new process
or_ Haxall. The latter packs much more
closely than the old, and a pound will not
measure as much, while it swells more. It
therefore makes a much harder cake or
pastry than the old, which is to be preferred
for everything but bread, and in all cases an
eighth less is to be taken than of the old.
Thus it; a rule for bread calling for four
quarts, but three and a half would be re-
quired. '
Graham flour should be good wheat, ground
and unsifted, but it is more often inferior
flour mixed with bran. Various forms of
“whole wheat mes ” are new in the market,
but to be had only at the best grocers’ or
directly from the mills. Like flour, Graham,
if kept cool and dry, improves with age.
Rye,7on the contrary can only be bought in
small quantities, as in hot weather it speedily
becomes musty. Indian meal, if made by
.the old process, will give the same trouble.
By the new, the corn is dried for two years
before using, and is ground in such a manner
that a granulated meal is produced which
keeps as perfectly as flour. _Yellow meal is‘
richer and thus more nutritious than white.
Oat meal, cracked wheat and hominy all keep
perfectly, tin being the best for this purpose,
as weevil are more'likely to get into wooden
boxes Small cracker tins are excellent for
this purpose. . ’ _
Granulated sugar will be. found cheapest
and best for general use. Being perfectly
dry there is moreto the 90am! than in any
brown sugar, and it is also sweeter. It is
one of the few things in which it makes but
little diflercnce whether one buys in small or
large quantity, but a barrel at a time is a
convenience. Where a syrup is used it is
much better to make it at home tom sugar,
as the "refined” syrups of various names are
too often made up of adulteratious. (For
molasses is decidedly the best, but had better
be strained before using, as all molasses con-
tains many impurities.
Whole spice of every variety is as necessary
as the ground, and better for flavoring all
shops and sauces. A small bottle of curry
of anchovies, Halford, saucm or mushroom
ketchup, nll'u-ésnl in flavoring gravies. The
stor‘er'oom should also alv’vsys have on hand
rice, tapioca, barley, dried beans and peas,
macaroni and vermicelia, vinegar, mustard,
and pepper, tea, coffee and‘chocolate. In
buying coffee it may better 'be roasted, as
this is much more perfectly done in a rotary
roaster than at home, but it should be ‘kept
tightly covered, and ground only as needed.
Tea also requires to be kept from their, and
for-both, if bougbt'in smbll quantities, a self-
sealing glass can is the best possible thing in
which to store them.
Training of Children.
The training ,of children~ is now sadly
neglected. Nothing worthy of the name of
training is _secn in many families. Neither
system nor obedience. nor deferential treat.
ment of superiors is demanded, or enforced.
The most demoralizing books and papers are
allowed, and often procured. Boys early
they are permitted to go out in the evening,
to play cards, go to the theater and to have
and spend money without having to account
for it. This has been going onabout twenty
years, and the harvest is just coming in.
From every four‘ boys left to themselves
this way, there my be onelwho has the mak-
ing of a man, but two will 'amount to noth-
ing, and the family is fortunate if the fourth
does not t out to be a drunkard or a thief.

Erysipelas of the hand, without benefit. Not
until her hand had become a mass of putrified

He at once informed her that it was impos-
sible to save the hand—it must be amputated.
She received this terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take other, stipulating merely to

and underwent the painful process Without

The Restless Boy in Church.
How he turns and twists, '
And how he persists
In rattling his heels;
How uneasy he feels, _ '
Our wide-awake boy in church! ' I
Then, earnest and still,
He attends with a will,
While that the story is told
Of acme old hero bold, - .
Our dear, thoughtful-boy in church!
But our glad surprise
At his thoughtful "eyes
Is turned todespair,
As he twitches the hair .

Still, each naughty trick fiies
At a look from the eyes
Or his mother so dear,
Who thinks best to set near
Her mischievous boy in church.
Another trick comes ?
Yes. His finger he drums,
Of his kercbief is spread
All over his head,
And still we take him to church!
He’s troublesome ? Yes,
That I’m bound tolconfess;
But God made the boys,
With their fun and their noise,
And He surely wants them in church i;
Such children, ycu know,
Long, long years ago
Did not trouble the Lord.
Though disciples were bored;
So we’ll still keep them near Him in church.

Kissing the Bride.
Tire New York Graphic says: At the
marriage of John Russell Young to Miss
Coleman at Hartford, recently, General Grant
was a guest, and when the ceremony was
over the company waited for the general to
take precedence in extending congratulations.
i‘he general went forward, leading his pretty
little granddaughter, Fred Grant’s ‘child by
the hand, and after shaking hands with the
bride said to his grandchild: “Won’t you
kiss the lady f” The bride caught the child
ill her arms, kissed it, and then looking up,
blushingly said: “I would like to kiss the
grandfather too, if I dared." The veteran
warrior, who had faced a blazing battery,
seemed all at once to become a trembling
coward. - He flushed up, looked sheepish,
but conscious that the bride was peeping at
him from behind the drooping eyelids and
was waiting for him to say or do something,
mechanically extended his head, and the
next moment a-fuir face was in his beard,
imprinting a kiss on the line that marked his
month. He seemed to be in a tremor as be
grasped his grandcbiid’s hand and backed
away. All the'yonug gallants were surpris-
ed at the cowardice of an cld soldier before a
pair of fresblvitiug lips.

A Great Electrical Discovery.
Pants, May 21.—Mr. Van Kysselberghe,
Director of the Belgian Meterological Bureau
has discovered a system of transmitting tele-
grams and telephone mpssages simultaneously
along the same wire. The French Minister
of Posts and Telegraphs has received in
Paris from Brussels, simultaneously, a tele-
gram of 53 had a telephonic dispatch of 119
words. The practical advantages of this
invention are estimated by the French and
Belgian governments as of the utmost im-
portance.
———.—v.t-.———-—-
The tollowing are said to . be the sixteen
American inventions of worldwide adoption,
the cotton-gin, the planting-machine, the tel-
egraph, the grass mower and reaper, the i'(-
iary .prllitiug-prcss, steam navigation, e
bot-air engine, the serving machine, thei-
dia-rubber industry, the machine manufac-
ture of horse-shoes, the sand blast for carv-
ing, the gauge lathe, the grain elevator, arti-
ficial ice—making on a large scale, the electric
magnet, and its practical application to the
telephone. .
