(Chakles Macav ) A traveler on a dusty road strewed acorns on the lea, And one took root and f-pvouted up and grew into a tree, Love sought its shade at eTcning time, to breathe its early tow?, And age was pleased in heats of noon to bask beneath its booths; The dormous loved its dangling twi;. The birds sweet niusic bore; It stood a glory in its place, a Messing evenacre, A little spring had Ioct ita way aruid the grass and !ern, A passing stranger ecooptd a well where men might turn; He walled it in, and hung with care a l.id!e at the brink; Ho thought not ol the deed he d:d, but judged that toil might diink. He psssed again, ard lo! tho well, by Summers never dried Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues, and saved a life beside. A dreamer dropped a random thought; 'twas old and yit 'twas new, A simple fancy ol the brain, but strong in bung true. It shone upon a general mind, and lo! its l'ght became, A lamp of life a beacon, ray, a mon'tory ftime. The thought was small, it issue great, a watclifire on the hill; It sh'ds its radiance far a-down, and cheers the valley stiL! A nannies man. amii a crowd that thronged tho daily mart, Let fall a word of Hope and love, un stulisd, from thj heart; A whisper on the tumult thrown a transitory breath It raised a bn tht-r from the dust. It savc aseulfrom death. 0 germ! O word of low! O thought at random cast, Ye were but little at first, but m;ghty at the last. Worthless Worry. (vYil'on Mirror.)

Smith and his wife have every luxlry that can buy, but there is one teing lacking to their happiness. Both ore fond of children, "but no lit tie voices prattle, no little feet p&tler in thcit beautiful home.

Observer.) A gentleman living in Ovid writes to o s abont bis eon as follows: 'This boy of mine is very decidedly a genius and will make a great mark in the world. The village in which we live furnishes no proper field for such a brain as hi, and bis mother and I have been thinking of sending him lo Waterloo to study law. V.'bst would you aavise"? Well, good folk, pardon us if, like a surgeon, we use the knife, cut ting deep, but cutting with the Lope of cure. Your boy is what, ua gen iup," is he! Then the Lord baye mercy on ou, for a great uHliction has befallen jour family. Don't send him to Waterloo. The supply in this vicinity very far exceeds the demand. There are scores of gen iuses in tbi village, and without ex ception their trousers bag at the knees and terminate in a pathetic fringe tb tit hangs around their shoes. They are generally characterized by long hair, soiled linec, ictelle. tual flatulency and a certain haggard look as if they hadn't ei jo ed a square raeal in tlree months. What would we a lvist? Thsfc i. rather a delicate question. If we had a boy who was so phenomenally endowed that Le di -darned to wotk for a living, we should try to cure him by the most heroic treatraeut. Uuw would it do to give him a rord of tough old hickory, a saw horse and a bran new saw lrom W. B Swarttiout's hardware store in Ov:d and nail up Hi- leml fro in Pn darus on vhe woodshed: "He that wiil have a cake out of the wheat must tarry at the grinding,"' which being traulat. d r.eans, "No work, no dinner?" If he aill inebted on do'ng nothing, yeu miuh report to the device of the .Mikado, tmd boil him in oil. A genius is almost always an ass in a iion's skin, or a turkey buzzard with un eagles ueak a fj!ow whose bead is simply an enlargement o' the Lump of self-conceit, lie starts out with the determi. l:;tioa to Iivi on his brain-, hut the c .pitai in trade is f-o small itiat he nev r becomes ex-p-r', except in the art of starvation There ss't very much ?p.sre room iu Waterloo fur the?e second hand "oddle-miblieY' wno want to get a fortune without hustling fur it and acqisre fume vithou-, deserving it I here i-i but one gospel in this world whi. h lias any claim to be regarded as divine, and that the gospel of bard work. The young man who begins life with the conviction be must roli up his td. eves ana dig lor every dollar, must draw his licit a little tig' U-r and wtrik j a stronger gait if he want lo Win tne race, is the only one, so tar h our one;vatton goep, who nt lifty, or later on, drives through Veri ties county i i his own carriage. The geniuses pretty generally take their airings on foot, and keep their weath er ee open for some benevolent stranger who looks as though ho had a t pare quarter which miht be ob iaiued Tor the asking. We may haye a bard, cold and unsyrapatldaing method of handling the proule v, but iu our judgment the only way to succeed is to perspire. Indeed, we might make the statement of fact still more succiuct, and say that "perspire or expire, is tne rale of life. IfourOvul friends labor umk-r tbe delusion that tbeii geius is too aristocratic to become tbe partner of work, he will probably end his career ou a marble siub of a morgue. O i the other band, if they got tue idea into their craninums that nice tenths of gtnius is simple Lard work, their boy will more than likely dk under the care of au able phvsician, with his fhmily around the bedside, the prospects of a good tdzed funeral and a flattering obituary notice i?i O.ii Independent. Yoa see, dear sir, that we haven't muih rctj tctfor what yoa call the genius of our boy.

NEVtn chop ttirnip for stock but slice tliem, and there will be less liabil ity of any of the animals being- choked. Cioon training makes a considerable difference in the value of a hurve. To fret the best results handling and train ing should begin when the colt is very young-. If you raise the right kind of horses the btiyer will come after inem; if the wrong" kind you will have to hunt up a buyer, and Kmetimes have considerable trouble to find him. - TitF. lest way to feed gTOimd grain is to mix it with cut feed. If cut feed and ground pram are mixed tin result i that the Baliva is more coinn.tely min gled with the f-rran, and the whole is more thoroughly dig-ested. A cokresi'OXDENT of an exchange says if your horse has lockjaw take strong- tobacco and put it on each side of the jaws while they are locked, and, if a bad case, bathe all over the body, and your horse will be well and eating1 in a few hours. . No an'imae should be guarded more carefully than the cow. She daily pro vides milk as an article of food, and should she be attacked by disease, or suffer ailment of any kind, the whole family may incur dang-er. It is more important to look after the health of the cow than to the health of the horse. Tht.t:e la no reason why the barn yard should be filthy. The farmer who aims to convert all waste into manure will have a clean barn-yard, for he can not afford to allow the liquids to be wasted, or wait for the cattle to trample the absorbents that can more easily be decomposed in the manure heap. ' THINGS THAT ARE TRUE .-... -ai It is for most persons more easy to flatter than to praise. Tin: moral value of life, is not a fancy. Faith, purity and endurance arc not mere names. . - Never, give way to repining. No habit is worse than that of unless grumbling" Action and work will mend the worst fortune. To relieve that there is no place like home is a wholesome partiality; bnt to laugh another man's home to scorn be cause it is not a fac-simile of one's own is illiberal and unmanly. Good manners declare that their pos sessor is a person of superior quality, no matter what his garb, or however slen der his purse. They prove his respect for himself, and they also prove his re spect for those whom he adresses. Pi'TY of every kind has in it the ele ments of pleasure, and, if we do not discover and appropriate them, it is our own fault. If we stiuiy the principles of our life-work, dwell upon its details, and strive to perfect it as much as pos sible, we shall insensibly learn to love it, and to feel no sacrifice for it a burden. Too nucTi love, or too much expres sion cf it, never yet spoiled a child; it is undue indulgence that does that, aud it is what the mother should guard against. She must have a well-defined idea of what is just to expect of her child, and work to that as the builder does to his plan, if she would develop a respectful self-respect ing- character. RELATED BY MINISTERS. After the Introduction. Mrs. Yan f wilier (who mistakes Dr. Jovial for a physician) "And where do you prac tice, doctor?"' Kev. Dr. Jovial "Ah, madam, I don't practice. I only preach." A colored brother thus addressed his cen.'.rrcatiori : "De fo' part of de house will please sit down; fo! de hind part can not see de fo' part if de fo part per sists in standing befo' de hind part, to de uttah obselusioa ob de hind part by de fo' part."' . A Scotch dominie, after tolling his scholars the story of Ananias and Sap phira, asked them: "Why does not God strike everybody dead who tells a lie?" After a long silence one little fellow ex claimed: "IJecause, sir, there wadna be onybody left." A clergyman says: "I once married a younjj couple, and as I took the bride by the hand at the close of the cere mony and g;ave her my warmest con gratulations, she tossed her pretty head, and, pointing' to the bridegroom, said: 'I think he is the one to be congratu lated.' ' "Yes, brethren," said the clergyman, who was preaching the funeral sermon, "our deceased brother was cut down in a single night torn from the arms of bis loving- ivifs, who is tlma loft n dis consolate widow at the age of twen" y eight years." "Twenty-six, if yau please," sobs the widow in the front emerging from her handkerchief for an instant. ODD BITS FROM LIFE A French, pair of Siamese twins has been born in Cannes. They arc girls. An idol collector in San Frauciseo, who has just died, had a collection of five hundred little gods. T. G. Stores, a farmer living- near Hull, la., has a cow that has borne twin calves five years in succession. A sensation in New York recontly was a handsome turnout drawn by two wc-ll-grooraed mules, driven by a hand some liveried coachman. An interesting- sight in soma of the cemeteries of Kansas is the pine-board advertisements of undertakers and tombstone manufacturers tacked up on trees by enterprising- advertisers. A richly-dressed lady with an absent-minded look was in a Fourth avenue (New York) car. When she lef the car she turned at the doorway, and with a dignified bow, said: "I wisl you all a very pleasant evening." An several passengers bowed courteously. An enterprising Western insurance agent has struck a new idea in adver tising. He engages a lot of prett; girls and has them driven through th town in an open wagon, with th legend above them: "The men w marry must insure in the Com pany." - Itch on human and horses and all animals cured in 3Q minutes by Wool ford's Sanitary Lotion.

I5y all means, my sm, pvt abend, but not the kind of a head that is obtained at a tavern. The young man who thinks that fverr pirl h meets is in love with him man ifestly judges others by himst-lf. It makes the hypttcrito distinctly tired to find out that the man be hus U-cn posing for is no Ix-tU-r than hi:ns'lf.

Draee "No: I think myself that the trousers are more im portant." It has been decided by n Salina (Kan.) judge that hens do not run at large with --any malicious, unlawful or willful intent." When we consider the henpecked husband, we are more convinced than ever that woman was made of the backbone, and not of the spare-rib of man. "How does it happen that Dr. World ly performs the marriage ceremony for so many old maids?" "Oh. he always a dts them iu an audible tone if they are of age, and they all like him." "How is Antonio getting on?" in quired a relative of a patient of that name. "So, so. The doctor says that if he lives till to-morrow he may get better; but if he doesn't you may give up all hope." A woman will toll her friend that her bonnet doesn't fit, that her photo graph flatters her, that her new dress wants taking in at the waist or letting out at the bustle, or some tiling like that, but no woman will ever tell even her bitterest enemy that her baby is any thing but absolute perfection. LITTLE PHILOSOPHERS. Merritt --'J wonder what makes your grandmother like to rock so much?" Little Johnnie " "Cause the chair creaks so." "Now I've told you," said the teacher in a private school, "which animals provide us with food. Now, which are the ones that give you shoes?"' "My father," said the boy at the tail end. A small Canadian boy who was told that a missionary to China would have charge of a district containing as many people as there were in Canada, re marked: "My, won't he have V holler!" Irate Father "Here, what does this moan? All the morning gone and not a thing done." Small Son "I've been do ing lots." Irate Father "Lots of what?' Small Son "Thinking about what I'm going to do." Pa "What would you like to be when you grow up, .Johnny?" Johnny "I think I'll be a soldier."' "You might get killed." "Who by?" "Hy the en emy, of course." "Well, then, I guess I had better Ixj the enemy." Tommy "How much will you charge me for a bicycle for this afternoon. Mr. Wheeler?"' Proprietor "Fifty cents for the first hour; twenty-five cents an hour after that." Tommy "Well, if I come around here an hour later can I have one for a quarter?" Lady (to small hoy, who i crying) "What is the matter, my little man?" Boy "We were pla3ing ball and I broke that, pane of glass over there." Lady "Well, perhaps the lady won't care much about it." Hoy "Tain't that; the ball went through and she won't give if" back." First I'oy (gloomily) "I've got to exit kindlings, and empty three buckets of ashes, and build two fires, and go to the stare on an errand, and then fill the coal bin." Second Hoy (enviously) "You've got a regular pienie. you have! Just think of me! Mother said when I came home from bchool to-day I'd got to hold the baby." GENERAL MISCELLANY. TnF.RC will soon be an entrance fee of a franc for the Vatican museums. The police force of Macon. Gn., in cludes a cousin of the late desperado Hn.be Hurrows. He is 0 feet inches in height. Miss Fordiiam, a well-known English bicycle rider, has ridden a safety wheel 1,000 miles, at the rate of 70 miles a day. and hopes to cover 2,000 miles before the season closes. Bangor seems disposed to take the lead- in introducing fads. At a coming ball in that city, the prompter will be suspended from the center of the ceil ing in a basket. Most of the high school students who send communications to the press use a superfluity of capital letters, spell words wrong, italicize with reckless freedom and write poor hands. M. Blowitz, who travels as the "Man of Iron," breaks a 4x1 oak timber across his orm. and takes an ordinary .",xH oak plank and splits it from one end to the other with his hands only. Some of the giant trees in the Visalia district of California, which the Gov ernment is to put under the protec tion of a cavalry force, are name:! after vnd in honor of notable pers --.-nag-es. One of the most gigantic of them all bears tbe name of a New Yorker. The Massachusetts Ploughman re cords as an "obvious fact" that there is not only no scarcity of wood in New England, but that extensive tracts once in tillage are growing up to trees, while the demand for wood for fuel much less than it was thirty or forty years ago. A Grand Rapids man has a unique way of collecting a bill. A man owed him ?4, and he called that man out of bed at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning, and was still with him at midnight Thursday, having slept and eaten with the debtor. He says he will stick until that 34 is paid. - I7m none Tout Rolan liaklng rowderH. l ie none bni Holan linking Powders. ABOUT THE APIARY.
