WHAT THKY NEEDED.
The father and mother together sat
Their visa&res puckered with care
Pondering what they should do with their girls,
Their girls with the auburn hair.
"They play .and they sing,and they dance," shesaid
"And they sketch with pencil and pent
They sjxsak the German and French and draw."
"Oh, ves! but they don't draw men.
And here they all stick," the old man growled,
"With their gabble of French and Dutch!"
And he cave the poodle beneath his chair
A prod with the end of his crutch.
"But what Can they do that is useful?"' he yelled.
With an oath that really was shocking;
"Can they sew, or sweep, or codft or clean.
Or darn the hole in a stocking?"
"Darn the hole in their stockings!" she cried.
With a half hysterical shriek;
"Ah, ho, indeed! what the poor girls need
Is a thorough knowledge of Greek!"
1NGEBS0L ON DEATH.
Remarkable Oration at the funeral of a
)?ree Thinker.
The remains of Joho Mills, a local
agitator, latterly private secretary to
ex-RepitsetitatiVe March of Maine,
and who died at, Washington D. C.
recently of pneitnloiiia, were forward
ed 16 his home at Port Jar vis, N. Y.,
lately. Mills was a free thinker.
At the funeral service, which was
held at the latter place in the parlors
of a residence on Franklin park, in
the presence of a large company, in
cluding Senator Van Wyckj Regis
ter Bruce, ei-Senator Dorsey and ex
Representative Murch, Robt. Gy In
gersoll'delivered the oration. After
& dirge Had been sting; Col. Ingersoll
said: "Again we are face to face
with the gret mystery ihat shrouds
the world. We question, but there
is no reply. Out on the wide waste
of sea there drifts ho spar. Over the
desert of death the Sphinx gazes for
ever, but ttever speaks. In the very
May of me another heart has fallen
upon noon. But he lived, lie loved
and was loved. Wife and child
pressed their kisses On his lip's. This
is enough. . The longest lite contains
no more. This fills the vase of joy.
He who lies here; clothed with the
perfect peace of death, was a kind
and loving husband and a good fa
ther, a generous neighbor, an honest
man. And these words build a mon
unient of glory above the humblest
grave. He was always, a child; sin
cere and frank, as full of hope as
spring. He divided all time into to
day and to-morrow. To-morrow
was withort't a cloud, an! of to-morrow
he borrowed sunshine for to
day. He was my friend: He will
remain so. The living oft become
estranged. The dead are true. He
was not a Christian. In the Bdeh of
his hope there did not crawl rthd coil
the serpent of eternal pain. In many
languages .H sought the thoughts of
men, and for hifilselt. h'e -sol ved the
problems of the worfd. He accepted
the philosophy of Anguste Comte.
Humanity was, and is, God the hu
man race ihe Supreme Being. .In
that Supreme Being he rested. We
believe that we are indebted for what
we enjoy to the labor, the self-denial
the heroism of the human race, and
that, as we have plucked the fruit of
what others planied, we in tKankfal
ness should. platVt for others yet to be.
With him immortality was the eter
nal consequences of his own good
acts. Ha belieVed . that every good
thought, every disinterested deed
hastens the harvest of, Universal
good. This is a religion that enrich
es poverty; that enables us. to bear
the sorrow of the saddest life; a reli
gion born not of selfishness and fear,
but of love and hope; that gladly
bears the burdens of ll)e h'nborn; , In
the. presence of death, how beliefs
and dogmas wither ard decayf How
loving words and deeds burst and
blossom! Pluck from the tree of any
life these ffowers, and there remains
but the barren thorns of bigotry and
creed. All wish for happiness be
yond this life; and all hope to meet
again the loved and lost. In every
heart there grows tjiis Sacred ffower
of eternal hope; Ithmoftanity is a
word that hope, through all ages, has
been whispering to love. The mira
cle of thought we cannot understand;
the mystery of death and hope we
cannot comprehend;' this chaos called
the world has never been explained;
the golden bridge of life from gloom
emerges, and our shadow rests. Be
yond this we do not know. Fate is
speechless, destiny s dumb and
the secret of the future lias never
yet been told. We love, we wait,
we hope. The more we love, the
more we fear; upon the tenderest
heart the deepest shadows fall. All
paths, whether filled' with thbrtrs
flewers, end here. Here success and.
failure are the same; the rags of
wretchedness and the pilrjile robe of
power lose difference and distinction
in this democracy of death. Character
alone survives; goodness alone lives;
love alone is immortal. But to all
there comes a time when the feVered
lips of life long for the coo!, delicious
kiss o! death. Tired of the dust and
giafe of day, they hear with joy the
rustling garments of the night. What
can we say of the dead? Where
they have golie reason cannot go,
and frOm there revelation has not
come. But let us believe that over
the cradles nature bends and smiles,
and Tovingly above the dead in ben
edict ion holds her outstretched
hands."
The Society YevAg Man.
The -'guilded youth" of to-day is
the dandy of one hundred years ago;
the "Swell young man" of the present
time is only a reproduction ot the
"beau" of the past, and only a mild
reproduction at his best. In b'oth
types of fashion the costume is the
distinguishing feature, and how poor
and dull seems the exquisite of this
century in comparisdri with that of
last. Now, a cravat and pin and a
watch-chain are apt to be the only
elements of gorgeousness; then, the
whole attire was one dazzling glitter.
In the old days we hear that the nice
young men appeared in plush Satin
waistcoats, silk coats, pink satin
shoes, and plumb-colored stockings,
their whole figure being adorned with
lace and jewels. At the present time
the effect of the costume is rather
sombre than otherwise, an elegant
unobtrnsiveness being the chief
characteristic. Ih rtianner the earlier
and late varieties of this genius rnain-
rtain a similarity, each, however, pre
serving the modifications caused by
the peculiar state of society at the
time. Then, as now, if we can trust
the an?ient chronicles there was the
fascinating etiniii ifi deportment, and
the same, don't j'bu know distinguish
ed air of hatihg diank the wine of
life to the dregs, of having tasted all
sweetness of the world, of Havirig
gone to the depths of existence only
to find nothing. It was quite the
thing, one hundred years ago, so tfcey
say, for the society young man to
sc.irn the knowledge of books and to'
pretend that "seeing the world" vfis
the principal duty of & gentleman;
now; atl expensive college education
is bestowed upon the specimen under
Consideration, and he graduates with
the supreme satisfaction ot pbsSessihrf
perhaps a little less information than
before his. course. Everything noble
in life is distasteful to the perfect ex
ample of this c'.ass, everything that
calls for active exertion contemptible.
His most exciting occupation has al
ways beefi "mashing," which was
formerly carried on with innumerable
gallentries and mannerisms; and is
now pursued with a seeming disre
gard of all mannerisms. Joseph Ad
dison bfl'ce had the cruelty to dissect
a beau's head for his own good fame,
but hardly for the beriefit ,of the rep-
utation ot ,ffe beau. He found a
cavity filled with "ribbonSj Jace, em
broidery, billet dotfi, and love let
ters," another with "fiction,' flatteries,
arfd falsehoods, vows, promises and
protestations," and a great cavity
filled with nonsense. Since th race
seems not to be extinct,' we may sup
pose that Such monstrous anatomical
structures still exist among us, as the
head pieces of figure that are often"
very much admired, because of their
"very pleasing wayS:'
New Use for Electricity.
A new cure has been discovered
for balking and cribbing horses by
the application of electricity A gen
tleman of Baltimore county, who has
a horse subject to balking ' placed an
I. electric battery, with an induction
coll, in his buggy, afld ran the wires
to the horse's bit and crupper, and as
soon as the horse came to a stand
still the current was turned on, and
alter the horse was , relieved ot his
shock he proceeded without showing
any disposition whatever to balk.
The same application was successful
ly made to a horse . which indulged
in cribbing, whereof he was soon
cured through the unpleasantness of
the electric shock.
The Bad Boy.
"There, yoa drop that," said the
grocery man to the bad boy, as he
cane limping into the store and be
gan to fumble around a box ot straw
berries. "1 have never kicked ?.t
your eating my codfish, and crackers
and cheese, and herring and apples,
but there has got to be a dividing
line somewhere, and t make it at
straw berries-at six shilling a box, and
only two layers in a box. I only
bought one box hoping some plumb
er or gas than would come along and
buy it; and by gum everybody that
has been in the store has sampled a
strawberry out of that box; slilvered,
as thongh t was sour, aiid gone off
without asking the price," and the
grocery man looked mad, took a
hatchet and knocked iu the head of a
barrel of apples, and said "There,
help yourself to dried apples."
"0, 1 don't, want your strawberries
or dried apples," said the btif t. as he
leaned against a show case and look
ed at a bar ot read transparent soap.
"I was only trying to fool you. Say,
that bar ot soap is old enough to vote.
I remember seeing it in the show
case when I was about a year old,
and pa came over with me and held
ed me up to trie show case to look at
that tin tobacco box, and that round
Bine looking-glass, and the yellow
wooden pocket comb, and the soap
looks just the same, only A little fad
ed. If you would wdsh yourself once
iu a while your soap wouldn't dry
up on your hands," and ..the boy sat
down Iti a chair without any back,
feeling that he was even with the
groceryman.
"You never mirtd the soap; It ll
paid for, and that is more than your
father can say about the oap that
has been used ih' his house the past
month," said the groceryman as he
split up a box to kindle the fire.
"Bur we won't quarrel. What was
it I heard about a band serenading
your father; and his inviting them to
lunch?'
"Don't let tVat get out, of pa will
kill me dead. It was a joke. " One of
these Bohemian bands that goes
abotlt town playing tunes, for pen
nies; Was over on the next street; and
I told pa I guessed some Of his' friends
who had heard we had a baby at our
house, had hired a band arid was
coming in a few minutes to serenade
him, and he had , better prepare to
make a speech." Pa is proud of being
a father at fi'is age and he thought it
was no more than fight for the neigh
bors to serenade him, and he went to
work loading himself for a speech, in
the library, and me and my chum
went out and told the leader of the
band that there was a family up
there who wanted to have some
i. J J" . ... i - V
fnusic and thef didn't . care for ex
penses, So they quit blowing where
they was and came right along.
Koffe of them understood English
e-tcept the leader, and he only under
stood enough to take a drink when
he was invited. My chum steered
the band tip tp our house ai;,d got
them to play 'Babies on our Block,'
and 'Baby, Mine,' and I stopped, (ill
the men who were going home and
told them to wait a minute and they
would have fun, so when tlie band
got through the second1 tUrie, and the
Prussians were emptying the beer out
of their horns, and pa stepped out Oh
the porch; there was more fiof a
hundred people in front of the house.
You'd a dide to see pa when he put
his hdnd in the breast of his cost, and
stf u'ck an attitude. lie looked' like a
congressman, 6r a iramp. rThe band
was scared, cause they thought he
Was mad, and some of them were
goiipg to run, thinking he was going
to throw pieces of brick houses at
them, but mv churn and the Reader
kept them. Then pa sailed iti. He
commenced 'Fellow Citizens,' and
then went back to Adam and Eve,
and worked up to the present day;
giving a history of the notable people
who bad acquired children, and kept
the crOwd interested. I felt Forry
for pa, cause 1 knew how he would,
feel when he oanie to find out ha ha'd
been sold. The Bohemians in the
band that couldn't understand Eng

wondered what it was all about, and
finally pa wound up by stating that

viied the band and the crowd in to
take some refreshments. Well you
ought to have seen the band come in
to the house. They fell oyer each
other getting in. and jtlie crovd went
home, leaving pa and my chum and
ma and the band. Eat? Well, I
should smile. They just reached for
things and talked Bohemian. Drink?
O, no. I gUess they didn't pour it
down. Pa opened a dozen bottles
of.chattlpaigne, and they fairly bath
ed in it, as though they had a fire
inside. Pa tried to talk with them
about the baby, but they couldn't
understand and finally they got full
and started out, and the leader asked
pa for three dollars, and that broke
him up. Pa told the leader that h
supposed that the gentlemen who
had got up the serenade had paid
tor the music, and the leader pointed
to me aud said I was the gentleman
that got it tip. Pa paid htm but he
had a wicked look in his eye, and
me and my chum lit out, and the Bo
hemians; c.ahie down the street bilin'
full, with their horns on their arms,
and they were talking Bohemian for
all that was out. .They stopped in
front of a vacant house and began to
play, but ybu could not tell what
tune it was, they were so full, and a
policeman came along and drove
tbfetri home. 1 1 guess I Vill sleep at
ihe livery stable to-night, cause pa
is offul unreasonable wheri anything
costs him three dollars besides the
champaigne. ..
"Well, you have made a pretty
mess of it." said the grocery man.
"It's a wonder your pa does not kill
you,; Btit what is it I hear about the
trouble at the chtfrcb? They jay
that foolishness to you."
"It's all a lie; They lay every
thing to the. It was some of them
ducks that sing in the bhoir. I was
just as much surprised as anybody
when: it occurred; 1Fou see our min
ister is laid up from the effects of the
ride to the funeral, when he tried to
run over a street car, and an old dea
con who. had .symptoms of" being a
minister in his youth was inyiled to
take the ministers place and talk a
little. He is an absent minded old
party, Who don't ke?p up with the
events of the day, ahd whoever play
ed it oh him knew that he was too
pious" even to read the daily papers.
There as a not fee of a choir meet
ing to be, read and I think the tenor
smuggled1 ih the other notice, be
tween that and the . one about the
weekly prayer meeting. Aryway,
it wasn't me, but it liked to Voke.
p the meeting. .After the deacon
read the choir meeting notice lie took
up the other one and lead I am re
quested to announce tLat the Y. M.
C. Association will give- a friendly
entertainment with soft glnves, W
Tuesday evermg, to which all are
invited. Srother John Sullivan the
eminer.'c Boston revivalist,, will lead
th.j) exercises, assisted by Bro. Slade,
the Maori missionary from Austral
lia. There will be no slugging, but
a collection will be taken up at the
door to defray expenses.' Well, I
thought the people in church would
sink through the floor. There was
not a pbrsbn in the church, except
the poor old deacon, but what under
Stood that; some wicked wretch had
deceived him, and I knew by the
way the tenor tincklcd the soprano,
that he did it. I may be mean, but
everything I do is innocent, and I
wouldn't be as mean as a choir singer
for two dollars. I felt real sorry for
the old deacon, but he never knew
what he had done, and I think it
would be real mean to tell hmi, He
won't be at the slugging match.
That remark about taking up a col
lection settled the deacon. I must
go down to the Stable now and help
grease a back, so you will have to ex
cuse me. If pa comes here looking
for mej tell him you heard I was
going t0; drive a picnic party out to
Waukesha, ahd, may not be back in a
week. By that time pa will get over
the Bohenpian serenade," and the boy
filled his pistol pocket with dried ap

HOW TO TAKE JBXEB&UL
The aim'of exercise; says, the Jjn-.
don Lancet, is not solely ,to work the
organism which Is thrown into aalltif
ty, though that is one, and a .very
important, part of the object in.vlew
because as the living body works it
feeds, and as it feeds it is replenished;
but there is another purpose iti .exer
cise and that is to call it into action
and stimulate the faculty, qf recuper-r
ation. Tha difference.between being
accustomed to exercise and a'le: to
work. 'witliOjUt feeling it," and being
barely able to accomplish, a. special
task, and hav ing it "taken out,'" of
one by the exploit, whether, mentaf
or physical, is ihe , difference. between
possessing the power of rapid repair
by nutrition, and not. having tjwt
power f in working bfcier so. that
some time must elapse before recov
ery takes place, and during the inter,
val there will be . "fatigue" and morp
or less exhaustion. Exercise with a
view, to recuperation should never sq
much exceed the capacity of the re-?
cuperative faculty as to prostrate .ih
nervoils energy. The Work done;
ought not to produce, any, great sensu
of fatigue. If "exhaustion" be expe
rienced, the exercise has been, exces
sive in amount. The best plan to
pursue, is to begin with a moderate
amount ot work, continued during a
brief period, and to make the, length
of the interval between the , cessation
of the exercise and the. recovery of a
feeling of "freshness" the guide as to
the increase of exercise. We do,not
mean thatj fajse sense of revival
which isjspmetirnes derived from the
recourse to stimulants, but genuine
recovery after a brief period of rest
and the use of pla Iff, nutritious food,
If this simple rule were carried into
practice by those who , desire "to
grow Strong,' there would ,be )em
disappointment, and a generaijy bet
ter result, than often atle.ncjs the en
deavor to profit by exercise uriin'tolli
gently employed. .
