Not with empty, meaningless forms of
expression, that are only surface deep,
bnt with the earnest words, and kindly
acts that come straight from the heart.
We crush back too often the pleasant
speech that would help to strengthen our
faith in human nature. Daily we might
do much more to help and lighten the
burdens mother has to carry the dear
one who never wearies in doing for her
children, who seldom repay in every
measure the wreath of affection showered
upon them.
How pleasant and cheering would be
the impulsive caress, the cordial thanks,
the thoughtful act, the encouraging
smile, that would lighten the heart, and
give her renewed ambition to work for
those she loves.
This lack of appreciation drives back
so many warm impulses. How many
devoted wives quietly wring their hands
for a kind expression of the love so
fondly plighted them at the altar, to
whom a handsome establishment and
means provided, are not all- who yearn
for the helpful words, that they may feel
all their untiring efforts to please have
not been unnoticed, or thrown away
simple acts, simple words, and yet how
often they are left undone, and left un
said, and the want of their expression,
added another paid to hearts that already
suffer enough. Do unto othert as ye
would be done by. How the burdens
people carry would be lifted, and the
troubled soothed away, if this rule was
only carried out, and what a bright,
glad world this would be to live in and
enjoy.
How often the cheering word would
be a spur to untiring exertion, a talis
man against evil, a brace to bear up un
der many loads ef troubles would
sweeten the hours of daily toil. To feel
that somebody loves and cares for you,
feels an interest in your joys and sor
rows, your good luck and vicissitudes,
sympathizes with your troubles and
manifests an interest by words and
deeds, that comfort and feel like a bless
ing, when you feel discouraged, and
wonder what there is in life worth living
for and toiling after. Cheer each other.
The heart goes out in a rain of gratitude
to the ones who bring us comfort and
needed encouragement, and help ns to
bear our tronles. We all yearn for a
little human love, care and sympathy.
Many a woman loses heart when she
never hears a word of praise from her
husband.
A celebrated actress said: "You can
never know how cheering to the heart
is the round of applause that calls up be
fore the curtain and tells us that our
efforts to please have been appreciated."
We do not stop to realize the good we
might do trying to cheer each other and
bring more joy into others' lives. Do
not live purely for self, but strive to do
all that lies within the power, to comfort
one another, to cheer and brighten the
existence of those whom we come in con
tact. Sensible Vacations. -This is a busy
world and country. Everywhere can be
heard the sounds of reviving industries
and business. Men that for weeks and
months have been idle are suddenly
hearing of calls for their dormant ener
gies and powers. Everyone is glad for
the changes, indeed we are beginning to
hear of wishes for a holiday, or a day off
from work or business. Among busi
ness men at least this desire should be
granted. We are apt to think that, if we
can during the summer's heat and dull
ness get away from our business for a
few days or a week, all our needs in the
way of recreation and rest are fully met.
This, however, is not so; the season and
time for our vacation and play spells is
badly chosen. We also err in leav
ing home for our. holidays. We
do not' wish to be misunder
stood as declaring against the
value to us of a change of scenery or
place, bnt the matter is carried too far.
We all think that in order to have an en
joyable time we must don our best bib
and tucker, and away. All the time we
are away it is expected of us that we are
to be on dress parade, and through the
severity of the requirements of etiquette
and dress all our enjoyment is lost. The
right way for our merchants and clerks
to enjoy a vacation best is, to take and
give it regularity. Once a week let one
of the proprietors or clerks be spared a
half a day or an evening, and spend those
few hours at home with their friends.
There are those of our business men
to whom the greatest strangers in
town are their own families, especially
if there are little cnes there. They
are up and away to the calls of
their store or office before the eyes of the
children are unsealed from sleep, and
excepting the few moments at dinner
when the children are in from school
(and even this they miss if they do not
go home promptly at twelve) hardly, see
them from Monday morning until Satur
day night; and then they are greatly sur
prised to be told that their sons are be
coming roughs. Give us the home vaca
tions in plenty ; give us a better chance
to know our children, occasionally even
to get down on the floor and romp with
them, that will perhaps lead us to look
back through the web of years that have
passed with us since boyhood's days, and
we are certain it' will make better men of
us, as well as fit ns the more earnestly
and with more strength to engage in the
duties of the coming morrow. --Kingston
Courier.
R is curious that in all the enterprise
witnessed in the breeding of the various
classes of horses, that really fine carriage
horses command a higher price relatively
than any other. They are scarce, al
ways, and for the reason, as we believe,
that the average farm horse is under
sized. Carriage horses are produced by
crossing staunch thoroughbreds, upon
large handsome roomy mares. There is
money in this class of horses.

Old Tom Purdy, Sir Walter Scott's

Miss Calino goes for the first time to

that, missy," said a sailor, "bekase, it
being low water now, when the tide rises
it'll burst your bottle." Miss Calino,
quite convinced, pours out half the salt

Wheee Americans Lounge in London.
In a letter to the Washington Republic
Olive Logan says: There is one short
street in London which has this pecu
liarity: At any season, perhaps at any
hour, you choose to go there, you will
always find at least one American, often
a group, lounging at the busiest corner.
As usual with loungers, the most of these
men look as if lounging were their pro
fession, and a very poorly paying one at
that; but often one catches sight of a
face which carries in every anxious line
a tale of disappointment, frustrated hope,
baffled energy, heart-sick effort. I
scarcely know why Craven street of all
the thoroughfares running off the busy
Strand has been selected for a rendez
vous of Americans. Perhaps, because
it was the locality chosen as a London
residence by one of the greatest Ameri
cans who ever lived. Half way down
the street, on the right side going
Thames-ward, you see a pretty house,
which, on a level with the first-story win
dows, shows a blue '"plaque" bearing
the following inscription: "In this house
lived Benjamin Franklin, Printer,
Philosopher and Statesman." In one of
the neatest of the small family hotels in
Craven street has of late been staying
the charming Polish actress, Mme.
Modjeska.
Our Dead Presidents. A review of
the lives of the different Presidents of
the United States is productive of very
interesting results. For instance, three
of them died on the Fourth of July.
John Adams and Jefferson died on the
country's birthday, July 4, 1820, and
Monroe died on the 4th of July, 1831.
Madison died on the 28th of June, 1835,
and his friends were confident, that, he
too, would live until July 4th. If he
had, then the second, third, fourth and
fifth Presidents would have died on In
dependence day. Taylor and Andrew
Johnson both died in July. Every fourth
President until Mr. Hayes' time, was an
old bachelor. Van Buren did not draw
any of his salary until his term expired,
when he drew it out in gold, "all in a
heap." Tyler died poor, having gone
into the rebellion, and was one of the
Confederate Commissioners at Montgom
ery. John Quincy Adams lived the long
est; he was 90 years old when he died.
Madison, was 85; Jefferson, 83; John Q.
Adams, 81; Van Buren, 80; Jackson, 78;
Buchanan, 77; Filmore, 74; Monroe, 72;
Tyler, 72; Harrison, 68; Washington, 67;
Johnson, 67; Pierce, 55; Taylor, 60; Lin
coln, 56; Polk, 64. General Grant is the
only living ex-president. Tyler and Van
Buren both died in 1862. Lincoln in
1865, Buchanan in 1868, Pierce in 1869,
Fillmore in 1874 and Johnson in 1874.
Mr. Parnell, the present leader of the
Irish people, is English by descent, his
family having settled in Ireland in the
reign of Charles II. The celebrated
poet Parnell, Archdeacon of Clogher, the
friend of Pope, Addison ami Swift, was
an ancestor of his, as were also Sir John
Parnell, Bart, M. P. for Queens county
and Chancellor of the exchequer, and
Sir Henry, M. P. for Rothleagve, the
celebrated commentator on the penal
laws. Mr. Parnell's mother is an Ameri
can, the daughter of one of our naval
officers, and resides now with her daugh
ters in New Jersey, passing the summer
usually at Newport. He was educated
at Cambridge University, is only 33
years old, of very gentlemanly appear
ance and manners, and, though not elo
quent in the usual sense, is vigorous and
clear in speech. Though his landed
estate yields only 1400 a year, he is rich
in American and other securities.
He walked up by the signof a clothing
store spelling out the letters, and then
soliloquised: "Summer suits; wall per

Yon Can Never Get Ahead or Chicago.
A young man of this city has long paid
attentions to one of the fairest daughters
of Cleveland, now visiting here, and had
been engaged to her, when suddenly, for
some reason or other, she concluded to
marry some one else. The unsuspecting
young man went to call on her at her
aunt's house on Calumet avenue last
week, and as she drew back her ruby
lips when he prepared to greet her with
a loving kiss he at once thought there
was something up, and glancing at her
again he noticed that she were none of
his gifts, which he conjectured were in
an ominous looking parcel on the sofa.
This conjectuie was subsequently
proved to be correct.
"Mr. So-and-so," she said she had
been wont to address him as "Augustus"
and "darling"!
"Mr. So-and-so, I have consulted my
heart seriously and discovered what I
have often suspected that we are not
fitted to make each other happy. It is
better that we should part our engage
ment iAat an end."
Her words sank into him like blue
pills, and he felt a deadly tugging at his
heartstrings, but he instantly composed
himself and settled upon a plan of ac
tion. Bounding joyfully from his chair,
he danced lightly round the room, shout
ing, "Hurrah! You're the bulliest girl
in the universe. I feel as if the whole
Palmer House had been lifted off my
manly bosom."
The beautiful girl gazed at him for a
moment's if she thought he had bidden
a longTtrewell to all his gray brain
matter, and said, "What does this
mean?"
"Mean?" cried the young man, walk
ing on his hands up and down the sump
tuous drawing-room; "why it means I'm
free. I've been trying to muster up
courage to ask you for two weeks past to
cancel our engagement, but I couldn't
it would have been going back on my
word, and, besides, I knew that hus
bands at this period of commercial de
pression were hard to get."
"Sir-r-r!" said she, glaring at him like
a tiger cat, "your presents are all in this
package. Take them and return me
mine. This painful interview had, per
haps, better be brought to an end."
"I'll send you all of 'em I can find,
but I guess our cook carried off your
Tennyson with the marked passages in it
I lent it to her and some of your
locks of hair, and pressed rosebuds, and
things I burned when I was cleaning up
my room the other day, and as for your
ring, I don't think Cora will give it to
me."
"And, pray, who may this creature
'Cora' be? Is she the cook at your board
ing house?"
"O, bless you no she's the girl I'm
in love with, and that I'm going to pro
pose to this very evening as soon as you
give me that package of presents and let
me go. I hope you didn't forget to put
the diamond earrings I gave you into it.
I'll give them to her and he .$200 ahead."
The beautiful Cleveland girl's cheeks
glowed so that you could have lighted a
match at them if you hadn't been afraid
of having your fingers burned off by the
glare in her eyes.
"Tell me about this 'Cora' of yours.
Is she good looking?"
"Good looking?" said the young man
excitedly; "hold on till I show you her
picture," and he searched eagerly in his
pocket. "No, I must have left it in my
other coat. Well, never mind; she's a
beauty. I used to think you were pretty
fair looking, but you Hair so long
that she steps on it when it is let down
and she tries to walk; eyes that make you
feel as if you were getting back a ten dol
lar bill you had never expected to see
again; a waist very much like yours only
much smaller, and as for her feet why
you couldn't put more than 40 per cent,
of your toes into one of her boots. Well,
good-night, Miss Whatsyourname I
told her I'd be round to-night if I could.
I'll trouble you for that package."
"Augustus So-and-so," she hissed in a
low, concentrated tone, putting the pack
age of presents away under her chair,
'"if you go out of this house before 1
o'clock to-morrow morning I'll scream.
And I want you to understand that your
engagement is to hold, and if you don't
marry me by the 1st of November, which
will be as soon as I can get my trousseau
ready, I'll sue you for breach of promise,
laying the damages at $500,000, and I've
got letters from you that'll make the jury
find for the plaintiff without leaving the
box. And if ever you mention that
wretched creature's name to me again
the longest day you live, I'll shoot you
and scratch her eyes out so there; I
don't care for you one bit, but I'm going
to marry you out ot spite."
She hurled herself into his arms like a
whirlwind and sobbed upon his shoul
der. He smoothed her hair and called
her a large and varied assortment of pet
names, and observing his reflected image
in the glass over the mantlepiece winked
at it rapturously.
They are to be married on Hallowe'en.

Keep the Body Erect. An erect
bodily attitude is of vastly more impor
tance to health than most people imagine.
Crooked bodily positions, maintained for
any length of time, are always injurious,
whether in sitting, standing or lying
posture, whether sleeping or waking. To
sit with the body leaning forward
or to one side, with the heels elevated on
a level with the head, is not only in bad
taste, but exceedingly detrimental to
health, it cramps the stomach, presses
the vital organs, inter rupte the free
motions of the chest, and enfeebles the
functions of the abdominal and thoracic
organs, and, in fact, unbalances the
whole muscular system. Many children
had become hump-backed or severely
round-shouldered by sleeping with the
head raised on a high pillow. When
any person finds it easier sit, stand, to

Ihe Law of Matrimony.
Yesterday morning an old negro arriv
ed in the city from St. Louis in search of
his before the war wife. The old man
went off into the war with his master, but
undergoing a change politically, deserted
him and embraced the emancipation
cause, and now, after so long a time, he
comes back to the scenes of his child
hood. After making a great many in
quiries he learned that his wife had mar
ried again and that she and her husband
were living down on Second street. Ar
riving at the designated house, the old
man, stiff with rheumatism, hobbled up
the narrow steps and fell against the
door, which, yielding to the weight of
his body, opened. Sitting near the win
dow was a tall, bony woman. Near the
fireplace, rubbing a fiddle with a greasy
woollen rag, sat a man.
"It seems ter me like," said the visitor,
dropped down on a trunk, "that yon
uster be my wife afore de wah."
"Bless de Lord," exclaimed the wo
man, "it's beginnin' to hitch onto me in
de same direction."
"What does dis prankin' mean?" said
the last husband, dropping the rag and
throwing the fiddle on the bed. "Splain
yourselves."
"Dis 'oinan uster be my nat'ral wife,
and I've come heah to see if we can't
make some sorter 'rangements in regard
to it."
"Ole man!" said the last edition of
matrimony, "de bes' and mos' p'lite
thing is fer yer to go 'way an' ten ter yer
business. Dis 'oman an' myse'f under
stan' each oder putty tolerable well, an'
de bes' thing is fer yer to lef us."
"Daniel," said the woman, "when yer
was young yer was a putty squar' sort of
feller, but now de rheumatiz have cotch
yer, and 'fore God I doan' wan ter rheu
matized man. 'Sides all dat, I'se changed
my 'ligion."
"Let me sight yer to a parable in de
law, 'cording to Blackstone," said the
second husband. "De fir's deed and de
las' will am de mos' powerful. De fir's
deed am subjec' to de las' will. Wasn't
it a deed when yer married dis 'oman V
Wasn't de ack ob marryin' her a deed?"
"Tibber shoah," said the first husband,
reflectingly.
"Wan't our marriage a will? Wan't it
de 'oman's will dat she married me? An
swer de question squar'ly."
"Yes."
"Well, den, 'cordin' to de law, de
'oman's mine."
"Dat's a fac', Dan," said the woman.
"Ain't yer gwine ter gib me no allum
money?" asked the old man.
"De law doan' mention dat," said the
victorious husband.
Dan arose from the trunk and looked
around the room. A tear stood in his
eye. Suddenly his face brightened.
"Gin' me dat catfish ober dar an' I'll
leab you."
"De law doan' mention de fish, but I'll
gin' it to you."
Dan picked up the fish, ran his finger
through the gills, and passed out into
the street. Little Bock Ark.) Gazette.

The Very Best. Yesterday a lady
stepped into a bird store on Kearney
street to purchase a parrot for a house
hold pet. Having examined the collec
tion, she turned to thl proprietor, and
without otherwise designating her selec
tion, simply said: "I will take Hon
esty." "Beg your pardon, ma'am," said
the dealer, "which one is it you say you
will take?" "I will take Honesty.
Please have him sent round to No. 582
Geary street." "Honesty?" repeated
the puzzled dealer. "And which one is
Honesty?" "Why that one, of course,"
said the self-possessed customer, point
ing to by far the largest bird in the
flock. "All right, ma'am," said the
ornithological trader, and as he was
making the necessary change he timidly
ventured to ask, "And may I inqure,
ma'am, why you call it Honesty ?" "Cer
tainly," answered the customer, with a
heavenly smile; "that parrot is Honesty
because Honesty is the best Poll I see."
The dealer was struck with a congestive
chill, and gave the lady a half dollar
short of her change. Detroit Free
