' These works are not intended as per manent defenses at Metz, bat simply as temporary works to protect vast encamp ments like the present, or to shelter - beaten army.

In view of the fact that the census takers have commenced operations throughout the country, the following questions have been collected together by some 6tudious chap as probably embracing the gist of the questions which will be asked by him : How old are you ? Where were you. born, and were you present on the occasion of your birth ? ere you ever a candidate tor othce. and if so how many times ? Are you a married person, and how do you like the institution ? Have you any children, how many, and what is a certain remedy for the sniffles ? Do you grow corn ; if so how much do you consume in - whisky, and how much do you waste in making bread ? What is your opinion of larger beer and pretzels? How many glasses can you cinnK, and with what effect f What is your opinion of oats a proper provender for man and beast ? V hat is the cash value of a one dollar bill? . Were your father and mother both white men ? Can you stand on your head, and how long ? If a good while, how much longer if necessary If half an acre of ground can yield one hundred bushels of rutabagas, how many glasses of larger will it require a man to draw a bee line ? If your family eats a ham in three days, how long will it take to eat a couple of hammers ? Lend me five dollars ? What is your opinion of young pups before they get their eyes open ? There are other questions to be an swered which we omit here, from the faet that they will at once suggest them selves to the marshals just as soon as they think of them. Another week nearer home 1 Another blessed Saturday night added to the triumphs of Eternity as it has been snatched from time ! The lover thinks he is one wees near er the dar when she will be his love for ever, while the sweetheart thanks God that one week more has gone from her life of hatred untulfillment 1 The sick sufferer who is expecting death thanks God that another seven day veil has been removed from before the door we all must enter once, and wonders if another week will be all for earth or a part for Heaven. To-night we walked home, for the cars were crowded. We were thinking of the labor we had done since last week went and this one came. There were so many letters written so many columns of edi torial written so many requests granted and so many refused so many made glad, and so many disappointed, just as it is in lire each day, you know.. And we were thinking and wondering how many thousands, or hundreds of persons in the land would read this Saturday Night what we had written and printed since last we closed the labors of the week, wiped our pen so clean, and placed it in the little rack to rest against the mor row. As we walked along we saw leaning over a little iron gate in front of a neat brick house a pretty, chubby-faced boy, as if waiting for some one. Looking to a window, we saw a middle-aged woman sitting thereby with a paper in hei hand, as if reading. "Hello, little captain ! You are the boy that has red cheeks and bright eyes ! What are you doing out here in the cold?" - "J am looking for my papa, !" "Where is he coming from?" "Down town, sir, and he comes afoot !" "What is your name ?" "Bobby." "How old are you 1" "Five years, so my mamma says !" "Where is your mamma?" "At the window ' Don't you see her? I can I" "Oh, yes that is she sure " - "Yes !" "When does your papa come ?" "He always comes now I" And I am waiting for him, and so is mamma!" "Well, Bobby, you are a nice litle boy, Tin i-nn Inrd T-rwi r nana "Yes, sir." "Well, he will come pretty soon. May be he is stopping to buy eomethiug to bring to you '(" "I know he is and he'll kiss me when he comes, and he'll kiss mamma, too, cause he always does, and I kiss, and mamma kisses him too!", j "Well, Bobby, hadn't you better run in where mamma is, and ; look out the window till pnpa comes ? . it's cold out here!" " "No, sir I don't want to ! He'll come, for he always comes note I" J ust then, down the little one sprang from jtha gate, pushed it open and then scampered down the biJewalk a few rods to meet the one he had been waiting for, and who he knew always came note I Perhaps some of you saw him. Ue was a well-built man, clad in honest garb. His cap fitted "close to his bead bis coat was closely buttoned he caught the little boy in his arms and kissed him then let him down and walked along with a proud, firm, muscular step like a mon arch among men. No wonder the little boy swung on the gate no wonder the wife sat looking out of the window for his coming. He held the hand of the little one who trotted along by his side. As they came to the gate, by the side of which we stood carelessly, the woman at the window arose and walked to the door, the man passed by little Bobby looked at us with a smile and said "I told you he'd come." They passed into the house, and we came to ours. The man did not notice us. Perhaps he never heard of us perhaps he has. It may be he is a man that hates us, and says bitter things against us. Well, nev er mind he is good to his little boy he is good to the one he loves, who is mam ma to little Bcbby -he comes home Sat urday night with a proud, firm step he is a man he loves bis home ones, and we like him. That man is living to a purpose. He is a true man, of use in the world. Two hearts at least, besides his own, were made glad by his coming. And he was good not to keep them waiting, as thousands of men, and women, too, keep their loved ones waiting, when the heart is hungry for. love and the minutes drag like hours. He was a workiogman his hands and clothes told us so. - The week went and he came. Not late as if he hated to come home, but early as if his heart wan there. Little Bobby was croud of him. He knew his papa would come ; and with a warm and earnest kiss. Little Bobby was nappy. i he lather was happy or his looks lied and they did not. , the orphans who have no one to come home now and catch them in their arms and love them. And we have been won dering if any man who reads this will be brave enough to go to his home a little earlier each night, and try to be a good, earnest man, who will bo proud of him self and of his manhood ; of whom his home ones is so deserving. We know some will and some will think they will, but when the hour comes they will for get as we all do, and instead of making glad hearts of those who would be so glad to have them come homo, perhaps not with presents, but like men, sober, kind, loving, will wait jus a little longer, till thus their life becomes a failure. God bless all who love their "loved ones" and who do not keep them waiting, and all those who suffer at heart from the absence of those they dearly love, and for whom they wait and watch, and watch and wait, hours upon hours, till all joy, of hope, of heart, of life, of love, has gone, as this Saturday night. Xew York Democrat. Why are oontry girls cheeks like a eood nrint dress? Because they are warranted to wash and retain their color. A schoolmistress resident in Hamlin county. Iowa, was dismissed the other day for kissing the big boys. Sinsinsr is to be officially and regular ly tausrht in the French navy, by what is known as the Galias method. A young lady in New York boasts that she can take an ounce of arsenic per day for her complexion and that it has no injurious effect. In some French cities there are wine shops for women only, and drunkenness among working women is said to be on the increase. A poor little boy, ten years old, whose parents are dead, shot himself through the heart in Portsmouth, Va. It is supposed harsh treatment drove him to the act. A Western paper complains thai the only success of an occulist recently in its locality was in enabling the flats who consulted him to cut their eye-teeth. The California and Oregon and the Yallejo Railroads have formed a close connection for the freighting business NEW TO-DAY. An Intelligent. Drake. The fol lowing is related by an eminent natural ist : A young lady was sitting in a room adjoining a poultry yard, where cbickeDs, ducks, and geese were disport ing themselves. A drake came in, ap- prcached the lady, seized the bottom of her dress with bis beak, and pulled it vigorously. - Feeling startled, she repuls ed him with her band. The bird still persisted. Somewhat astonished, she ! paid some attention to this unaccountable j pantomime,' and . discovered that - the drake wished to drag her out of doors. She. got up and he waddled out quietly before her. More and more surprised, she followed him, and he conducted her to the side of the pood where she per ceived a dock with its head caught in the opening of a sluice. She hastened to re lease the poor creature, and restore it to the drake, who by loud quack in gs and beating of bis wings testified his joy at the deliverance of his companion. A Massaehusetta paper says, in an obituary notice, that the "deceased had been for -several years a. director of a bank, notwithstanding which he died a Christian and TmierBallj,respected."
