A Motto for Life.

Without haste 1 without rest!

Bind the motto to thy breast;

Bear it with thee as a spell:

Storm and sunshine guard it well
Heed not flowers that round thee bloom,
Bear it onward to the tomb.

Haste not! let no thoughtless deed
Mar for aye the spirit’s speed ;
Ponder well, and know the right ;
()nwurd, llun, with all thy might.
llaste not ; years can ne‘er atone
For ricklch action done.

it. st not ; life is sweeping by ;
(lo and dare before you die,

' Something mighty and sublime
Liavc behind to conquer time !
Glorious ’:is to live for aye,

When these forms have passed away.

.

J

Haste not! Rest not! Calmly wait;
Meekly bear the storms of fate I
Duty be thy polar guide ;—
Do theright, whate’er betidcl
Haste not! Rest not! Conflicts past,
God shall crown thy work at last.

~Germmt of Goethe.

 

 

A Little Story About Postmaster
James.
Boston Herald, \
Let line tell you a good story of Tom
James,” said pur friend, warming up under
the influences of the hour. “What you
found out James to be his New York friends
knew long ago. He is an amiable cgotist and
humbug. At the annual dinner of the 'Pnl-
ette’ club, given some years ago, Chauncey
Depew toasted the visitors, and, in one of his
inimitable speeches, ‘ named every one in
turn, giving'to each some little quib, or jest-
ing fillup. When it reached James he said:
“Let me tell you something of our wonder-
fully eflicient city postmaster, of whom we
are so proud. I, in common with many of
you, havcsomc cousins in. the country, who
look to me to put their young sons in the way
of making their fortunes in our great city.A
One of these came to me some months ago,
and said that the bent of his genius was
toward a place in the postofiiee. Thereupon
I called upon our friend James. I confess I
was pleased and surprised at the warmth of
my reception. He would be really delighted
if he could serve me, and, when I told my er-
rand, he said, ‘Don’t disturb yourself any
more about this young man. I will attend to
his case myself. See, I will put him down
on my private list, for a place at the very
first opportunity. .Now, my dear Depew,
remember, he is on my private list, and he
will hear from me almost immediately.’ I
went home to tell the young man I had real-
ly unexpected success. The thing was done
apd he could send home for his baggage and
be ready to go to work promptly. W ell, the
.youth stayed‘it my house and waited. I
saw him daily at meals, and began to wish
our friend James would look over that pri-
vate list. After a month had thus gene by,
I summoned spirit to go again to my friend
James. Again I was received with impress-
incnt. He was glad to see me, GOuld he do
anything for me? ‘Oh, aboutithat appoint-
ment! Why, yes to be sure! That is all
right. By the by, what did I say about that
appointment? That I would put in on my
private list! Ah, that accounts for it. My
dear Depew, I should have put it on my
secret list. There it is on my secret list. It
is all right now. Don’t give it another
thought.’ Well, gentlemen, I never did. I
made that young man a baggage smasher oh
the Central" railroad, and his name is still on
the secret list of our genial friend. the post-
master of New York.’ The laugh on James
was tremendous,and he did not enjoy it at all.
No one doubted the absolute truth of the,
anecdote. It was true to life.”
MOI--

Speaking of the remarkable memory
possessed by the late A. T. Stewart, a [cor-
respondent of the Philadelphia Press tells
this story: Stewart belonged to the Century
club,hlthough he rarely visited the rooms.
The club once boughth crapet of his people
and when it had been down for several
months Stewart happened to come in. He
seemed to be greatly interested in the car-
pet, studying it attentively.- “Where did
you buy that?” he demanded at last of one
of the house committee. “At your place, I
believe.” “Impossible 1” rejoined the mil-
lifinairc ; “we never had that pattern in
stock. , We have had a pattern exactly sim-
ilar, except that those little violetfio were
were white.” The committeeman ‘took the
trouble to hunt through his vouchers and
.produceda receipted bill Of A. T. Stewart
at Go. Mr. Stewart shook his head. “There
is some mistake,” he said: “the little flowers
on our carpeting were white.” It was found
on investig tion that the little white flowers
had been white—so Eoffensively white and
spotty to the eyes of some of the mthetic
members of the club that Louis Laing had
carefully gone over them all with a stiff brush

dipped in violet ink.

A person wrote to the New York Tribune:
“I am a young man just commencing busi-
ness, and have some young men in my enl-
ploy. How can I manage to prevent insub-
ordination on the one hand, and to make an
affirmative success as an employer on the
other hand? Are there any books that will
help me ?. What are some of the best books
for a young business man ?”

The following pertinent suggestions were
given in the answer: “The best single treat-
ise is the New Testament, next to this is the
Book of Proverbs of Solomon. The best
business man we have ever known memorized
the entire Book of Proverbs at twenty-two
—carrying the American Tract Society's ten
cent edition in his vest pocket, and commit-
ting a half dozen verses daily; and when he
became an .emplOyer gave a copy of the
book to every employee, with a friendly‘in-
scription commending is as an admirable bu-
siness guide};

A diagnosis of the case of John Price of
Waterbury reveals some astonishing peculi-
arities. Mr. Price was taken with a severe
headache, which was located just over the
left eye. This continued to increase for two

weeks or more till it became too severe for
physical endurance. A swelling appeared
upon the affected spot, which gre With
astonishing rapidity till larger than a goose
egg. A doctor lanced it repeatedly and
finally punctured a pus cavity, when relief
from the terrible pain was experienced.
Subsequent investigafim revealed the cause
of the pain and of the abscess. The bone of

 

’ the forehead at a point one and one half

inches above the left eye had become decom-
posed and sloughed off. The bone is now
healing on the edges, but a space is left
through which a probe may be introduced to
the brain. Mr. Price is 'now better, ’and
entire recovery seems near at hand.

.dicating the real state of popular sentiment

Certainly Romantlc.

A néwspaper of sensational Chicago fur-~,
nishes the following bit of romance, which,
Whether true or not, certainly shows a tinge
of romance somewhere: .

While Miss Carrie Hughes of St. Louis
was attending a private echool in Hartford
about three months ago she met Henry Lewis
a young man somewhat'her senior. Each
made upon the other that impression which
is to out and out love as a hueklebcrry is to
a peach, a nod of greeting to a bow of ador-
ation. or a thimblefull of lemonade to a
demijehn of applejack. Nevertheless, the
acquaintance was a good thing in its way,
for when Lewis saw the name of Miss
Hughes upon a hotel register at Bethelham,
N. H., last August, he hastened to find her.
in a day or so the two got to passing their
evenings together on the hotel piazza, and
they gave up a good deal of their share of
dayiight to rambles up and down the
mountain paths of the neighborhmd Upon
the young woman’s return to St. Louis she
told her mother all about it. like a nice girl;
and the mother having obtained satisfactory
proof of the young man's excellence, con-
.sented to the marriage. Recently Mr. Lewis,
heeompanied by his mother, arrived at St.
Louis from New York and visited the bride’s
house. As the two mothers and the young
folks were conversing, Mr. Hughes, senior,
entered the room. To the surprise of the
other three Mr. Hughes stopped short as his
eyes fell upon lilrs. Lewis, and she, in turn,
exhibited considerable agitation. What can
be the matter P.” “How now?" and "Do
you know each other i” were some of the
questions asked by the spectators of the
tableau, which ended in a burst of laughter
and hearty hand shaking on the part of the
actors. In brief, Mr. Hughes discovered in
Mrs. Lewis a sweet-heart of thirty years
ago. They had quarreled and he had gone
west, and neither had heard of the other
until the meeting on the eve of their child-
ren’s marriage. . . ,

Windsor Castle Ways.

There is an excellent billiard room at Wind-
sor, where smoking is allowed and cooling
drinks are to be obtained.- The idea that the
regulations 3s to smoking are of inconvenient
stringency is quite illusory. There are smok-
ing rooms, not merely for the household and
guests, but for the upper and ordinary ser-
vants. It is impossible to grant liberty to
guests to smoke in their rooms, as the next per-
son might dislike the smell, and, after a night’s
occupation by some of the German visitors,
one would find an atmosphere capable of cur-
ing a Westphalian ham. In the morning
there is daily services at 9 o’clock in the pri-
vate chapel, conducted by the dean of Wind-
sor, but as visitors are expected to leave by
the 11 o’clock train, they have quite enough
to do to get their breakfast comfortably,
unless they are very early. There are two
breakfast tables going on, and the meal can
be obtained in one’s own room if wished, It
is etiquette that the queen invariably break-
fasts in private, and either alone or only
with persons of the blood royal, so that the
visitor’s intercourse with her majesty is con-
fined to a greeting before dinner, a chance
observation during the meal, and a few min-
utes of conversation in the corridor after it—.

case you maybe honored with a private audi-
ence in the white drawing room—London

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat does not
agree with the conclusion drawn by the
New York Times from the responses made
by southern dem’ocratie editors to its cate-
chism as to the harmony existing in their
party, and thinks that the Times endeavors
to be so fair in its inferences that it leans
over backward to a considerable extent.
While the Tillles is unable to find in the an-

 

stantial disinfection in the southern democ-
racy as a national party,” the GlobaDemocrat
takesa more encouraging view, and says:
“ While no intelligent man will claim that
there is anything like a revolution in south-
ern politics, it‘ may be positively asserted
that there is a gradual weakening of bour-
bon supremacy in other states than Virginia,
notably in North Carolina, Tennessee and
South Carolina, and that in 1884 there‘ is
likely to be an essential change; from the
presidential vote of 1880." There is one
thing which the Time: makes no apparent
allowance for. and that is the natural ten-
dency of the average editor to underralc any
rising opposition to his party that may exist.
Even if he is disposed to be entirely honest,
his judgment is almost certain to be re-
ceived by the Times are of little value as. in-

at the south. On the whole we are inclined
to believe that the Globe-Democrat is more
nearly right in its predictions. The inde-
pendent influence is spreading unmistakably
over the south, and we shall be mistaken if
some substantial evidences of it do not ap-
pear in the fall elections. »

One morning Uriel. J ob. who lived near
Hard Times Landing, rose early and went to
visit his lines. Pulling up the first, he
found a thirty pound catfirh, which he care-
fully placed on the bank, while he proceeded
further up stream to examine his others.- No
sooner was his back turned than a darkey
neighbor slipped up, and, taking the patri-
arch’s mammoth prize from thc'hook,substi-
tuted for it a ten inch sucker, which as the
only result his troll-lines had broug forth,
and stole in triumph away. Presently Uncle
Job ;came shufliing back, with his eyes
glistening in anticipation of the ample
breakfast in store, although his other lines
'werc profitless. Arriving on the spot, he
peered around, then put on his spectacles,
and finally saw the miserable little sucker.

The Early Rain.

 

Down through the misty’ail',
Down from the gloom above,
Falling. pattering everywhere,
The rain comes quick with love.
Softly the refuel-thrush

Sings in the golden storm;

, The robin under a laurel bush

Waits for to-morrow morn.

Drip, drip, drip, from the eaves, -

Pit, pit, pit, on the pane, ‘
Swish, swish, swish, on the drenched leaves,
List! 'tis the song of the rain.

Grasses are bending low,

Green is the corn and thick ;

You can almost see the nettles grow,

They grow so strong and quick.

Soft is the wind from the west,
Softer the raiu’s low sigh ;

The sparrow washes his s breast,
_ And watches the gloom 'y.

Stirred aijethe boughs hy the bierze,
Searccly a leaf is still;

Something is moving among the trees
Like a restless spilit of ill.

Standing watching the rain,
Do you not seem to hear
The voice olfiGod outlspealiiug again
. To man’s ungrateful ear?
Promising plenty and peace,
Garner with treasure heaped,
That seed-time and harvest shall not cease
Till the Harvest of Earth be reaped.

N at a Half-Breed.

A few days ago, Mrs. Paymaster Tucker
nee Logan was in the members’ gallery view-
ing the Senate proceedings, while directly
in front of her sat two ladies, one evidently
a Washingtonian and the other a stranger.
The native was taking unusual pains to make
herself agreeable, and as Mrs. Tucker was
about to sit down said to her friend, “There,
you see that large man sitting in the center
of the chamber, with the jet black hair and
large moustache '1’". ' "'

"Yes." -

“Well, that is General, Logan 0: Illinois.
It isn’t generally known, but he is half In-
dian." _ .

At this point Mrs. Tucker could contain
herself no longer, so gently tapping the lady
on the shoulder, she said: '
. “Excuse me, madam, but you are mis-
taken when you say that Senator Logan is
half Indian."

“Well, I guess I ought to know," warmly
responded the stranger; “I have lived in
Washington all my life, andlhe fact of his
Indian blood has never been questioned be-
fore.”

What Made a. Minister Laugh.

“Well, brethren,” .said a Maine minister
to some‘ of his fellow evangelists. “I .never
was guilty of laughing in the pulpit but once.
Some years ago I had in my congregation an
old man who universally went to sleep in
church and sacred loudly throughout the
entire service. One Sabbath morning, glanc-
ing in his direction,'1 saw.him as usual, with

above him in the gallery, a young man was
rolling a large quid of tobacco around in his
month. As I Iglked, he took it out and
pressing it into a ball poised it carefully
over the open mouth below. I became so

interested in the proceeding that I forgot to

continue the sermon, but stood watching the
young man. With a smile he took careful
aim and dropped it squarely into the old

started up and .with face red as a bet rushed
from the house. The people, no doubt were
horrified, but I could not have kept'from
laughing if a sword had hung out my
head ready to fall. The old man did not
come back for several Sabbaths, and when
he ,did he changed his seat and remained
wide awake.” .

It is reported that a telegram and a tele-
phonic message from Brussels were recently
received simultaneously over one wire at

A peculiar effect is produced upon the
workmen in a Russianbichromate of potash
factory. The partition of the nose is attack-
ed, a hole is eaten throught it, and after a
time it is totally destroyed, both nostrils be-
ing converted into one.‘ An inspection has
shown that about fifty per cent. of the men
employed have diseased noses, some having
been attacked during their first month of
work while others have been employed ten
years without being affected. The progress
of this curious diseaseill entirely,painlcss.

The first effects of small doses of arsenic
taken from time to time are shown—by ex-
periments of M. M. de Poncy and Liven
upon cats—to be a fattening of the body, ' ,
increase of appetite, and general appearance
of improved health. This is soon followed,
however, by iemaciation, loss of appetite,
anemia, and death.

Remains of a remarkable bird of the
Eocene epoch have been found near Rheims
by M. M. de Lemciune. The bird was at
least ten feet high when erect, with a much
larger skull than that of the ostrich, and at-
finities—it is believed—to the duck.

During a shower in the neighborhood of

Several English collieries are testing
blasting cartridges of caustic lime in place
of _ the ordinary gunpowder or dynamite
cartridges. The coal is broken by the expan-
sion of the lime in sinking. There is no con-
cussion, and the danger from flame and pre-
mature explosion is avoided. ,

Mr. Edward Muybridge predicts that in
the near future the aid photography will be
sought to determine the result of all impor-
tant horse races. With an invisible thread .
stretched ‘across the track to operate a
camera 5 “tie, it is a simple matter to pho-
tographt e animals in the twinkling of an
eye aszthey pass the winning post.In the op-
eration of this system there could be no
“dead beats” on account of the disagreement
of judges, as the record of the photograph
would show with unerring accuracy the win— ._

An estimate of the quantity of sediment

Colors. fade under the influence of the
electric light as in sunlight, but M. Dccaux
finds that the effect is weaker. With an are
light of 200 candle-power, the influence upon
oil and water-paintings and colored wool
seemed ,to be about: one-fourth as powgrful
as sunlight influence.

The botanical literature of the Chinese is

The size and weight of the human-brain

- are absolutely greater than in any animals

except thcuelephant and the larger whales.
The brain of the elephant is said to weigh
from eight to ten pounds, and that of alarge
finner whale between five and six pounds.
Relatively to the bulk and weight of the
body, the brain of man is exceeded in size
only in some small birds and mammals.
Two methods ~01 utilizing the power of
sea-waves have been proposed. In the sys-
tem of M. Gauchez, the rise and fall of a
large float produce corresponding motions of
a bell-shaped iron vessel by means of pulleys.
As thi! vessel rises air is drawn through
valves in its top and as it falls thesji-is
forced through pipes into a compressing
reservoir. ‘By the other plan, suggested by
Prof. Wellner of Bran, a species of air-trap
in the sea-wall serves as an aircompressor
under the beating of the waves. Prof.
Wellner produces motive power from the
compressed air by running a pipe from the
reservoir under an air wheel (resembling an
overshot water-wheel) immersed in water.
The air displaces the water from the cells
and drives the wheel round while expanding
and rising to the surface.
' The electric light has become so important
a feature in'bullding operations that the
Royal Institute of British Architects is con-
sidering the merits of the various systems
with reference to architecture, and is trying
to decide upon the expediency of requiring
its Students to pass an examination in physi-
cal science as a preparation for'tlie study of
electrical appparatus.

 

 

A Steam Schooner from Down
East.

A more peculiar craft than the Brainerd
Sumner has never appeared in New York" ’
Harbor. She arrivedreeently from'Rpgkland
Me, and is tied up at the foot of West 'I’liir
leenth street. From a short distance she re-
sembles an Ordinary large shreemasted
schooner, full-rigged and with all three top-
masts on end. A. close in spection shows'tbat
the mizzenmast is painted black, while the
foremast and mainmast, are slashed and
scraped down in the ordinary way. It is
necessary to board this queer craft to ascer- ,
tain that the third lmast is really'a tall
smoke stack of iron, similar in shape to the”
two other masts. .It has a :0th like the '
others, and a fore-andmft still like them, with
the ordinary gaff and boom, which have jaws
working on the smoke stack as on any other
mast. A small stegm whistle is alongside
the inizzenmast. The engine and boiler are
in the extreme after part of the vessel]. The .
furnace and boiler are athwartships, and the
engine is an upright propeller of the ordinary
type. The steam power is intended as an
auxiliary, but she has made seven knots an
hour under steam alone. She was built in
Rockland a short time ago, and is the first
vessel of the kind ever constructed. She is
about six or seven hundréd tons Custom
House measurement. An old salt who was
staring at her, said:

“I’ve been a sailor by and Huge for forty
year, but I never saw a mast turned into a
smoke slack before."
