“ Thank God for Sunday.”
Now God be thanked ! That he has given—
Best boon to aunt and sinner—
A day of rest—one day in seven.
Where toll is not the winner;
Rest for the tired and jaded brain.
The wearled hand, on Sunday,
That they might glther strength again
For toll renewed on Monday,
The merchant. In his counting-room.
The clerk, o‘er desk and ledger,
The artisan. at forge or loom.
The ditcher and the hedger—
The laborer, who must toll and slave.
From early dawn of Monday,
Until the week sinks in its grave.
All cry: “ Thank God for Sunday I"
The day thnt lifts the weighty chain
Which all the chk hath band 115;
That respite gives to heart and brain,
From thousand cares around us ;
That in the toilsomc march of life
Thus bids us take, for one day,
Rest from the battle 3nd the strife;
Oh! God be thanked for Sunday !
I! thus by all one day of rest.
Be hailed. as respite solely,
How to the Christian doubly blessed
Must. be the Snbbnth holy;
As. in future light he lift! his eyes
To that bright world. where OBI: day.
He longs to spend beyond the skies,
One blast, eternal Sunday 1

Arthur C. Sherman was arrested at the in-
stance of Albert S. Swift, proprietor of the
Washington Hotel, in that city, who
charges that on the 30th of January, Sher-
man, presented to him a draft for twenty—
seven dollars on Samuel Crump, of N0. 75
Fulton street, which he subsequently found
to be worthless, as Crump refused to pay it.
The examination was resumed one day, when
some extraordinary revelations were made
by Sherman, who appears before the public
a self-confessed scoundrel of the meanest
type. According to his own story Sherman
abandoned his trade of printing about four
veam ago, and assumed the more lucrative,
if less bonus: and honorable, role or private
detective. He did not state how he suc-
ceeded in his new occupation, nor does it
concern us. Some time since, however, he
was approached by Mr. Samuel Crump, of
No. 75 Fulton street, in whose employ be
formerly was. This worthy gentleman in—
formed Sherman that Mr. Daniel I. Rikcr

again called on Mr. L‘rump, and signified 11is7

A very good story is told of 011(- of our
sharp specimens of Young Ann-rim whose
‘ fast“ ways had necessitated his being cut
of? by the “ governor" from any further ox-
pendiuu'e of his means. The young man
finally bet-amt- weary of lt-zulin:_.r :1 slow life
without money, but he bud invented so
many ilnriv-s to accomplish 11L designs, each
of which succeeded, that 110 resolved to
make one more attempt. He was in pressing
DL‘k’tl of twenty-five dollars, and concluded
if possible. to draw it in installments rather
than chitc tho curiosity of his father, and
thus (l0l7(‘:lt his project. He put on a bold
face, and visited the governor, and gravely
, infurmt‘tl him that a certain dog fancier on
Elizabeth strut-t was actually teaching dogs
to talk; his terms were ten dollars down,
and fifteen dollars when the canine was able
to speak. The governor doubted the story,
but finally concluded to invest ten dollars in
the arrangmnent, but added: “ Mind, George
if he don't learn Fido (their dog) to speak,
I won’t give you the additional fifteen doL
lam." “ All right," said George, and away
he went on a spree, of course.
After the lapse of several days, and when
the ten dollars had been all wasted, George
returned home and told a straight story
concerning the progress Fido was making
under his tutor. The next day the Gover-
nor requested that F‘ido should give an ex-
hibition of his skill, and ordered George to
bring him in, but was informed that the dog
had been shot, and the sad event was ex-
plnined in this way by the truthful George:
“ You see, I went and got the dog. and on
the way home he talked all sorts of non-
sense, and when we reached the house and I
sat- down in the dining room, he crept upon
my lap, and, putting his mouth close to my
car, he whispered and told me in a very
confidential way that the old man was in the
habit of talking sweet to the servant girl in
7 the kitchen. I concluded if the dog was
goingy'to lie so outrageously, that he had
better be killed, and I shot him Y” The gov-

Fate of a Pu-istan Villa.
The Parisians narrate to each other, with
mingled fury and delight, all the stories of
Prussian brutality they can collect. Many
of the tales are doubtless pure inventions,
others probably highly gilded; some may
be entirely true. I have heard one, writes a
Paris correspondent of the London Tele-
graph, which seems to belong to the latter
category.
M. Ballard was chief architect of the pity
of Paris under the Haussman administra-
tion; he is a. man of great ability, as_ he has
proved by his management of the enormous
building operations which he has conducted
for nearly twenty years. M. Baltnrd pos-
sesses a country villa at, Sceaux. Whenever
the gates were opened he went out thither,
full of nervous anxiety to ascertain the fate
of his establishment. As he neared his
dwelling his trouble became more and more
intense—especially as the almost complete
destruction of all the houses that be passed
on his way filled his heart. with the gloom-
icst anticipations. How could be hope that
his own belongings would have escaped in
the midst of such universal ravage.
At last he reached his door, and to his be-
wilderment, and joy he suwhis walls, his
windows and his roof intact. In deep ex-
citement he hurried in; everything retained
its place; not a. single object. was removed;
his cherished properties stood where he had
left them five'months before; the pictures,
the porcelain, the curiosities, were dusty,
but untouched. Motionlcs with astomsh-
mcnt and satisfaction, he stood, he gazed.
be thought. “ Why have I been spared
amidst the wreck around me?" he asked
himself. “Is the name of Baltard dear to
Germany? Am I respected beyond the
Rhine as the author of the new Boulevard
of Paris 2’" It was inexplicable, but there
was the brilliant fact.
After a long and affectionate examination
of his belongings, he decided to go and
thank the noble-minded officers who had so
generously protected him. He directed his
:stcps t0 the nearest Prussian post, and there,
in language flowing from the heart. be ex-
pressed his gratitude. “Ah, yes," said the
representative of the conqueror, “ yes, very
good, I know. Those things of youm are
vcry nice; we have taken can.- of them, that

them up lo~morrow and send 1119111 to Sile-

“ “by, the war is over. You have no right
now to pillage. The armistice protects us;
you can touch nothing now." “I don't.
know about all that," replied the Prussian;
my orders are to pack up, and pack upI
will." M. Ballard rushed off to the com-
mandant, to whom,I fcar,he used strong
language; at any rate, he seems to have ve-
humently protested, and got himself turned
out. Sadly he came back to Paris, wishing
that he had never gone to‘ Set-aux. One can
comprehend that he would rather have his
house demolished than have seen it waiting

That sort of thing is trying.

Nine years ago, there was an old man liv-
ing in Dutchess county, N. 7Y., who owneda
farm of 300 acres, and had three children, a
son and two daughters. He wasan old man
then, and past work, and his .son managed
the farm. Then the old man made a propo-
sition. He could not live long, and wanted
to divide the property in this manner: he
would divide it. into two halves; give the
son one-half and the other half to the two
daughters. Then the son made a proposi-
tion. The property was worth from eleven
to twelve thousand dollars, and he said he
would sell his share to his sisters for five
thousand, on condition that they would take
care of the old man as long as he lived.
One of these sisters, 8. small, delicate person,
acts for the other, who is something of an
invalid. They agreed to the proposition.

was to run in debt four thousand more, with
which she bought new stock and implements,
put her buildings and fenws into good re-

ent, I suppose, to his share of the property
still invested. He saw some stone wall that
was just done, and said, “ You must not build
a stone wall like that; the land will not af-
ford iL" “ What do you think that wall
cost 5‘" she said. The brother named the
price it would have cost him. The sister
brought out her book. showed him every
item. and it was not quite half as much as
he had said it cost. But then he found that
while the woman did not touch the wall
with the tip of her finger, she inspired and
directed the men, so they built as they built
at the walls of Jerusalem in the days of Ez-
ra the scribe ; and so the wall was finished.
All this she has done, and has raised a poor
lad beside, taught him farming, started him
on a farm of his own in Missouri. and is now
looking out for another.

and go before the plough will be put to the
furrow, the land be mellowed and enriched
and all the preparations made for planing.
A busy season truly, and one in which no
time is to be wasted in deliberations as to
what crop shall be planted in this field, or
what in that, or where shall be obtained the
seed corn or potatoed All this shouldbe

partition of the soil, and haste made in get-
ting the seed under. Now, we think no
farmer will deny the advantage, in fact the
necessity of securing the very best seed for
his crops, especially the corn crop. The
qumtion arises where may asuperior quality
of seed be procured. We think the follow-
ing letter from a Connecticut correspondent
'of the Country Gentleman highly suggestive:
The influenoevcf' elm - upon difl'ercnt

should be taken into amount by every
thoughtful agriwlturist. Last spring I re-
newed my stock of seed corn from the farm
of Levi Bartlett, of New Hunpshire, be-
lieving that seed frvm them will mature
earlier further south than the native seed.
My father used to say that All seed would
do better from the north, exmpt lye; that
would do bat about. one degree (sixty-nine
and one-half miles) from the south; this he
had proven by an exchange with a relative
wing about that distance south: the seed
“oming north producing a heavy crop of
rye, and the reverse with that going south.
I had a friend living in Mmachuseua, forty
miles north, with whom I used to exchange.

keeping my corn early and sound, with a
fair show of superiority, so much so that
prominent farmexs from other towns noticed
it and begged me to sell some to them-

then exchanged many bushels from the heap
with them; but for a few years back, since
it has been fashionable to cut com by the
root, my seed corn has failed to be a sure
thing every time, and last winter I resolved
to send north again, about one and a half
degrees (one hundred aud~ten miles). But
as every farmer in the land, has had all

have any trouble about seed next spring, I
have not much to report. only an excellent
crop in a very severe drouth. I will may,
