ore the real object of the call is made
jwn; after this comes tne business, of

ow, if the older friend be ono whoso

a dilemma. On the one hand hor

rifice. On the other, sho knows that

Vhere there is an evil, there must be a

ofly stated, it is two-fold. On the
t of the woman, tact must be used to

ring suggestions may greatly help the

wilful thought and practice. It is

' ? 9ninc7 Adms was Uie most ac
wm the retired Presidents. He
was returned to Congress in 1831, two
years after leaving the Presidonoy, and
this service he continued nntil his death
seventeen years afterward. Uis services
to the cause of liberty at this time were
of the most valuable and sublime char
acter, and he died at his post, in the
Cupitol, being then in his eighty-first
year. Jackson survived Lis retirement
from the Presidency nine years, which
were peacef ully passed at the Hermitage.
His favorite pursuit was farming and
raising of fine horses. Van Buren, after
the close of his ofllce, appearod as a free
soil candidate. On the close of that can
vas he became a close resident at Kinder
hook.where he died in his eightieth year.
Picroe sank into obscurity uftcr the close
of his ofllce, and died iu IblW.
The youngest of our Presidents at the
time of inauguration was Orant who was
forty-six. Tho oldest was Harrison, who
was sixty-seven. Our military heroes
were chiefly advanced in years, Jackson
being sixty-two, and Taylor sixty five.
Tho avorage of those to whom reference
has been made is fifty-seven, which is
the best period for ripe judgment a
time when experience unfolds its les
sons unimpaired by the weakness of age.
Then and Sow.
Thero are those who, like a class in
Solomon's day, affirm, with mournful
emphasis, "that tho former days were
better than theso." It is a foolish affir
mation, sincerely, but ignorantly mode
by persons unacquainted with "the for
mer days."
No Christian church would now listen
to a minister who preached on Snnday
and ran a distillery during the secular
days. Yota Hartford church, toward
the close of the last century, had for its
pastor a distiller of gin.
Tho distillery wss carried on undor the
name of Strong & Smith. Tho firm
failed, and the minister to avoid the
sheriff, shut himself up in his houso.
Ho wont forth on Sundays, as no writ
could be served on that day,nnd preached
to his congregation.
Ho was esteemed an cloquont and
devout preacher, and his peoplo loved
bim. A fow, however, would occasion
ally venture to say that he ought never
to leave the pulpit, while, here and
there, one could be found bold enough
to intimate that he ought never to enter
it.
This minister once issued a pros
pectus for a volume of sermons, and
just after met Trumbull, the poet,
who was an irregular attendant at
church.
"When will your sermons be out?"
askod the poet.
"I cannot exactly toll," replied the
doctor. "I am waiting to find a text to
suit a man who never comes to church,
except when ho has a child to bo bap
tized." Tho celebrated pulpit orator, John M.
Mason, of New York, once called on
this divine. As ho was leaving, ho
stumbled on a defective door-step and al
most foil.
"Why don't you mend your ways?"
said the orator.
"I was waiting for a Mason," replied
the clerical wit.
Lot those who deny that society, or
even the church, has made progress, re
flect that no distiller of gin, even if ho
combined the oratorical gifts of White
fiold and Hall could now be tho pastor
of the humblest church in New Eng
land. lid Stopped the Fight
Yesterday forenoon two dogs got into
a dispute on Fourth street, near Michi
gan avenuo, and from growls they came
to bites. They were pretty evenly
matchod, and the contest continued until
a crowd of fifty people had formed a cir
cle. Pretty soon a ministerial-looking
person halted, watched the fight for half
a minute, and then hurried out on tho
avenue and said to a milk dealer:
"My good man, a dog fight is a brutal
spoctacle, and it lies in your power to
end this one."
"How?"
"Drive right through the crowd and
over the animals. I'll warrant they'll
stop their bloody work before they will
be trodden under foot."
"I guess I'll try it," mused tho milk
man, and he gathered up the reins,
yelled at the crowd and drove for the
dogs.
It waB a bad drive on him. Tho two
fighters kept right on at it, rolled under
the horse, and the next minute sixteen
gallons of milk were being absorbed by
the snow, the driver was in a drift and
the horse was shooting up Fourth street
with the sad remains of the old sleigh.
Where where in where in Texas is
that chap who put me up to this ? gasped
the milkman, as they pulled him out of
the snow; but the sole answer was made
by a boy who pointed at the figure of a
man under a plug hat traveling toward
the City Hall at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. Detroit Free Press.

A gentleman in a responsible Govern
ment office, when complimented on his
long and well-appreciated sorvice, re
plied: "There is nothing bke making
yourself so useful that your employers
can not do without you.'
Tho other day a gentleman was mak
ing inquiry for the purpose of finding
a man to fill a responsible position in a
InrrTft mprenntiln iionse. lie Came to a
person whom he thought would give him
accurate and honest information concern
ing several men whose names he had.
One was discussed, then another and
another. Then the name of Mr.
was mentioned.
"The very man for the place; compe
ini and worthy in everv resnoct: but he
cannot possibly be spared from the posi
tion he now holds."
"Sir," said the gentleman, "we do not
want a man who can be spored!"
There was a big voir me in that re
mark. "We do not want a man who can
be spared!" What a multitude of men
who can be spared, cumber every avenue
to promotion.
The barnacles, the sharks, the make
shifts, somebody's nephews, somebody's
proteges, somebody's good-for-nothings.
Young man, please remember that these
are not the ones who are called for when
responsible positions are to be filled.
An impatient fop made fun of a farm

old farmer silenced him br saying:

A new insecticide has been introduced
which is likely, from iU oheapfalnest, to
inperrede the Paris green for potatoes
and other plants. It is highly recom
mended by Prof. C. V. Kiley, of the
United SUtcs Entomological Commis
sion, Dr. P. Collier, of the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C,
Prof. C. E. Bossy, of tho Iowa Agricul
tural College, A. It. Whitney, of Frank
lin Grove, 111., and other prominent
scientists and orchard is ts who have tested
its value. Its destructive power is vory
groat, whilo at the same time, it is very
cheap. Among its advantages are its
extreme fineness, adhesiveness, its color
and its cheapness. In color it is, as its
name implies purple, it prosenco be
ing readily dotocted whorever used, thus
being a safeguard against accidents.
The experience with it last year was
eminently satisfactory. It proved effect
ual on potato vines in destroying the
potato boetlo. For this puqoie it is
mixed with water into a smooth paste,
water then being added in the propor
tions of three gallons to each ounce, or
forty-eight gallons to one pound. It is ap
plied to tho plants in fine spray by moans
of a watering-pot. Or it may be used dry
in the proportion of one pound of purplo
to Bix pounds of planter, the two mate
rials being thoroughly mixed by passing
them through a flno sieve. When nsod
on trees to destroy tho ennker-worm, it
is appliod with water as for tho potato
vino, except that a force pump is em
ployed if tho worm has got into tho tree.
A band of tow, well saturated with Lon
don purplo, and bound aronnd the trunk
of tho tee bofore tho female insect
(which cannot fly) has ascended, has
been recommended, as the insect would
be killod by crawling aver a portion of
the poisoned tow.
How Cak Wheels aiie Kept On. Car
wheels are now kept in their place with
out being keyed on. In former times
thoy were almost suro to precipitate an
accident; besides, keys would drop out
by the constant jar and bo weakened by
the axles and wheels. Axles are turned
to fit the wheel snugly and are driven in
place by hydraulic pressure. Previous
to being driven tho axles are covered with
a thin coat of white lead and oil, which
hardens in a short time and holds the
wheel so firmly in place that a pressure
of from 100 to 110 tons is required to re
move a brokon axlo from the wheel in
which it is placed.
