I A writer In the weekly supplement of the Detroit Free " Press says on the sub let : Cheerfulness freshens the heart and makes it healthy and vigorous. The gHooru apd shadows that pass over the ijnnd make us wretched, but the iutiu elice of cheerfulness passes over it - like pleasant summer breezes, makine creation giad. Cheerfulness, like most othe- tal ents, is, to a large extent, the subject of culture, and the pre?ervation and devel opment of it is a duty we owe alike to ourselves and to society. Cheerfulness blunts arrows, rounds the edges of sharp sivords, secures pure breathing in foul air, efcsy digestion and refreshing slumbers. Cheerfulness is a spring of power and of pleasure, alike to. our physical, our men til, and our moral natures. How sweetly does it retain its serenity amid the storms ol life, when shadowed toy sorrow or peril! row it cheers the infirmities of old age, irt the sweet remembrance and anticipa tion of meetifeg those dear ones, whom w loved on earth, where we shall be sep arated no more forever. Cheerfulness smoothes our path arid sweetens our cip, rendering duty easy ftnd affliction light. All nature smile3 with us, if we ar cfceerfui'and contented. The birds siac? more sweetly, the trees have richer foliage, the sky more clear, the sun, mbon and stars appear more beautif uL It-banishes care and discontent. I would rather possess a cheerful disposition than a gloomy mind and an estate worth five thousand a year. t Honor to Mothers. bnor the dear-old mother.

A taft, lank, weedy-looking granger stepped into a Third street car yesterday, followed by a woman as lank and weedy lookinc as himself. There could be no mistake about their relationship of hus band and wife. But they exchanged no word, the woman peering curiously at the window and the' man cracking his nnger-joints witn remarkable success, for each explosion was almost as lond i .uu "aiuu vgouim" the maa got up and waifeaa. to the rear platform.

I saw the funniest thing the other day. A granger, not nulike the rooster who just got out, got into my car with bis wife, and I'm blest if he didn't forget the old woman altogether. She rode to the end of the line, and when the ' passengers all quit she . says : " Where's John ?" " 'He got out, ma'am, six blocks up.' says I. "Don't you lie to me, young man,' says she. 'He never got out of his cwn accord. Some of those smart city thieves have drugged him, and you're. in the plt.' "Xow, what could you do with a wo man like that ? She said she'd give rue in charge, and she was making such a terri ble racket that a crowd began to gather, end J was giog to start my car riirht o J, though the time was not up, when I heard a long, shrill whistlo, just like that other fellow gave. "'Whatever you did with him he es caped,' says she, 'for that's his whistle,' and otf she trotted to where the big ga loot was piercincr the ears of the whole neighborhood.

Recollection or m KXeiuorable Kx ccntlon lu Hew Jersey Years Ago. I know a good deal about ministers. I believe them to be very much like other men, with ends and aims and purposes similar to those of their fellows in other walks of life. Circumstances bave much to do with the morality of all of us. A circus rider may be just as honest, just as kind-hearted, just as true to himself and to his duty as a clergyman, but he Is likely to be more profane, less careful in his walk and conversation, because the circum stances of his calling permit lt, while the circumstances of the clergyman's calling absolutely forbid it not only, bnt the in dnleif of such , would destroy ret I i"j HS iimted me in. Oh ."u.- l-nwwa--wa. nouFie he turned to me and said : " Do.you see that rifle up there f". Looking up to the point indicated1 1 saw one of those long, murderous rifles, com monly called Mississippi rifles, resting snugly upon the antlers of a Rocky Moun tain buck. I told him that I saw -It.- arid much admired the artistic manner of banging it. . " Well, mister, that is "our law maker.' When any one comes among us and com mits any dirt we do not hesitate for one moment to use'it Xow, listen to me. I am the Bishop of this settlement. I have two wives and several daughters. Xow, if you can promise me not to speak to, or even look at, any of my women folks, you are welcome to remain over night. Keep your eye on that rifle and mind what I told yon. Can you do it?" It was a mighty hard job, but I first told him that I was at his command, and if it was his honest apsire, why, of course I wduld obey him. At that time he bade me follow him Into an adjoining room, where his family was assembled. I was dimly conscious that there were several females seated around the fire. He drew up a chair for me, and bade me be seated. Turning to tha women, he gave them or ders to prepare supper, he himself taking my orders for What I wished. All this time I dared not turn my head or look toward any one but the Bishop. I knew that his eyes were upou me, and that his two wives and daughters were studying me closely. I was greatly em barrassed, but withal managed to dispose of a hearty supper, at the conclusion of which we again returned to the sitting room. It was by this time quite dark, and his son', a larjjeathletic fellow., com ing in, the-Bishop told him to entertain me, and, at the proper time, show me to bed. Putting on his overcoat and a fur cap., for it was qnite cold, he bade me good-night, saying that he was compelled to attend a ward meeting. Before clos ing the jtloor, he pointed to the rifie over head, and said: "Remember, young man, what I told you." - -' It was positively unkind of him to re mind, me f ' it, for the confounded old guu wae constantly on my mind.

One of the ladit got up and went to the door several times. Finally she eame up behind me, and .bluntly asked if I was a Mormon T I hard ly knew what to do.

"Thank God for that !" she said, and then the conversation became general. I was told all about the heartaches and Bufferings of the first or original wife ; how iu almost every case they had been deluded into joining the Mormon faith under false pretences : what shame and mortification caina, over thein when it was found that a second or third wife was to be taken into the household. I was rather reticent, and I did not ex press my opinion on Ithe subject as I other wise vwould have done. The two daugh ters Were comely and full of life, j About 10 o'clock 'they bid me good night and re tired.:" A half hour later I was conducted to my room by the young man. Ascending a pair of stairs and entering the door " to my right I was somewhat amazed to find myself in the bedchamber of the young ladies, who had by this time retired. ' Their lamp was still burning, and having forgotten all previous warn ings, I' allowed my eyes- to' roam at will around the room, and naturally they rest ed on two dimpled faces beneath snowy caps. As I was enjoying the scene I was brought to a1 realization of my position by the deep tones of the young man, who said: ' j " This way, please," and taking me by the arm pointed to a bed in an adjoining room, remarking. "You will slecpithere." ' The rooms were connected by a' double doorway. , The doors had been dispensed with, and, consequently, we were virtu ally in the same room. I was soon snug ly stowed away, and as naught divided us but an imaginary door, my courage revived.-: Situated as I was I began to anal yze mf feelings. Here I was in the house of strangers. True, one head of the fam ily had forbidden m to hold any commu nication: with the other part, while the other part of . the family had vetoed the first Injunction, and I had obeyed them both. Here was certainly coniidence. It struck me that the young ladies were ex ceedingly vivacious, as they kept up a constant titter, and their rnurmurings of soft nothings weie somewhat embarrass ing to my sensitive nature. I was just beginning to congratulate myself on hav ing so much confidence reposed in me by my host, when what wa my astonish ment to see the young man dragging, a mattrass into the doorway and make his bed.there. As he was going to lie down he drew forth" a large-sized six-shooter, and placing it under his pillow, lay down to sleep. I was virtualiy-under arrest. There he lay between me and liberty. All my dreams of confidence were instantly knocked into a cocked bat, I was not sorry when the sun arose next morning,- CinwlnnaU Enquirer, great his singing delightful, and the vocabulary of his prayers fervid to a degree. His wife grew old faster than he did, and it occurred to him that shft ws too good, for life this side of the grave, so he poisoned her, and one night when she was particularly low, returning from his prayer-meetins, he en tered her bedroom.

Harden, that was his name, and a bard- cnea scounarei ne was, was tried, con victed, and hanged. I never shall forget that picture. It was the first execution' I ever saw. Being in New Jersey, a mob dominated the place. From the windows of the jail the women and the men looked out upon the courtyard packed to suffoca tion with smoking, shouting, swearing roughs. It was the old-style scaffold toward which the singing parson moved, heading a procession of officials and brother ministers. With a perfectly firm step he ascended the ladder, and stood up on the drop. He was dressed in neat black bombazine, with prunella gaiters. His black hair wus carefully combed and brushed, and ka smiled a sweet and saint ly smile as he looked about upon the last congregation he.eeuld ever address, and asked permission t lead them in prayer. That man was as quiet mid as calm as a sheep in the hands oi kU shearer. Death had no terror for him. lis was the picture of self-satisfaction, the very trsonification of individual content, and in that frame of mind he stood until the bolt wis drawn and he and the drop fell together, while those of us who looked ou, broiling in the sun, shivered at the sight.

The New England Farmer gives the fol lowing old and good recipe for grafting wax : Four parte, of resin, two parts bees wax, and one part tallow. Melt all to gether In a kettle, over a moderate fire, and when well mixed pour into a vessel of cold water to harden. When stiff enough to handle, grease the hands and then pull and work the wax until lt is white, or amber colored, and of even quality throughout.

Gardener, a well known Iowa horticulturist says : When the boxes arrive, wet up the moss thoroughly. Then take out the trees, andlat once dip the roots in a mud hole (previously prepared) and lay them down in a shallow ditch, leaning at an angle of about forty-five degrees, and cover the roots at once with fresh earth, packing it well about them. Place the tree as close as you can together. From thislplace they can be removed and set out where they are to grow, taking care to keep the outside roots moist.

Love, when it visits old men, is like sun shine upon snow ; it is more dazzling than warming. We forget the origin of a parvenu if he remembers it; we remember it if he for gets it. The first love that enters the heart is the last to leave the memory. The truth about our merit lies midway between what people say of it to us out of politeness and what we say of it ourselves out of modesty. Where the intellectual level is low charlatans rise to distinction. They are like those rocks on the seashore which only look high at low water. Those- whom experience does not render better are taught by it to seem so. To endeavor to move by the same dis course hearers who differ in age, sex. po sition and education is to attempt to open all locks-with the same key.
