I'lsnt More Trees.
I never heard a person regret
planting tree if done with a foro-
sight; hut I have heard many bit
torly regret that they did not plant
more in their younger day. Houbt
lesi the story of tho aged grand
sir' shortsightednes i illustra
live. He wa minded to plant some
fruit tree, hut believing tho fruit to
bo a great many years in tho future,
ho sadly shook hi head and said it
was useless. Hi son found tho
samo objection; finally tha grand
aon ventured to act tho tree. They
grew thrifty and afforded abundunt
fruit for both fatherand grandfather
for tho several year they lived to
enjoy it, We neod to have more of
tho spirit of tho army oflioer who
planted a grape-vino by tho aide of
eyory house ho occupied. When
asked for an ox planatinn he said, "It
in not probablo I ahull ever aoo tho
fruit of any of these vines, yet somo
one will surely enjoy it and bo made
happy."
Diligence, industry, and a proper
Improvement of time, are materia!
duties of the young.

to all Isiilrrr, and that is to my, it
it built a if there wa only one
boiler. In nunc jnitance one fur
nace is built for each two. Then
otne furnaces are divided from the
bridgn wall; again, some have only
column on the bridge and at the
back end. I think, on tho whole,
that in those in which tho furnace
is common to all the Ixvilcr the
best result are had, although an
accident t one hoiltt will n-ei-
tate the doling down- of tl c whole
hattary. It it i.tfo to say that no let

the boiler capacity in mall and
they will cut and try also."
A I'IhIb Truth.
An exehaniro calls attention to
tho fact that, for a quarter of a cn
tury, on every Sunday somothing
emanated from Plymouth church
that was considered worth giving
to th world through the newspa
per. Nearly every sermon of the
gifted lleechcr wa worthy of pnbli
cation, and with good reason, too.
Hut all that ha been changed, and
tho mention of Plymouth church
is rarely heard now. Once a year
there was a sale of new, and tho
moit extravagant premium were
iftiU Tor choice, tho premium in
many caie being much larger in
amount than the rental of tho
pews themselves. The desire to
be distinguished as the foremost
man in Plymouth ha ceased, and
tho famous old church, with itgim
niensely wealthy congregation, jog
along us quietly and unpretentious
ly a if it had never had a reputa
tion abovo that enjoyed by tho
rank and file of tha churches. The
inirit that attracted crowd and
opened puro-stringi wido in behalf
of church and other commendable
enterprise, hu fled, and Plymouth
has lost, and apparently forever,
tho high prestigo that it onco en
joyed. In those respects tho famous
Brooklyn church docs not stand
alone. It him its counterpart in
nearly all largo citieH, from tho
lays of Chrysostom, tho golden-
mouthed, until the present time
churche that prosporod under cer
tain pastors, but whose death or re
moval left thorn more shells of their
former selves, indicating tho fact
that up in tho popularity of tho
preachor in a great measure deponds
tho numerical and financial proa
perity of a church, but that as a
gonoral thing where there is- bo
much clerical popularity there in
not a corresponding amount of spir
ituality and genuine religion.

The following story which wa
originally told by Wendell Phillips,
is reprinted in the "Forum":
"That mot cloquodt of all the
Southerner, nI think, Mr. Sargen
S. PrentiHs. of Mississippi, wa ad-
Iressing a crowd of 4XXJ people in
hi state, defending thn tariff, and
in tho course of an eloquent period
which rose to a beautiful climax, he
painted tho thrift, tho energy, tho
comfort, I ho wealth, the civilization
of the North in glowingcolor, when
there rose in the vision of tho as
sembly, in tho tqienj air, a horso-
man of magnificent proportion,
and juit at the moment of hushed
attention, when tho voice of Pren
tiss had ceased, and tho applauxe
wa about to break forth, the horse
man exclaimed: 'J n the North!'
The cure was so much in unison
ith the habitual fueling of a Mia
sissippi audience ihat it quenched
their enthuiam, and nothing but
respect for the epeaker kept them
from cheering tho horseman. Pren
tiss turned upon hi lame feet and
aid: 'Major Moody, will you rein
in that horso a moment?' He as
sented. The orator went on: 'Ma
jor, the horse which you ride came
from tho upper Missouri; the saddle
that surmount him camo from
Trenton, New Jersey; the hat on
your head came from Danbury,
Connecticut; the Isxit you wear
came from Lynn, Massachusetts;
the linen in vourihirt i Irit-h, and
Boston made it up; your broad
cloth coat i of Lowell manufacture,
and was cut in New York; and if
to-day you should lurrender what
you owe tho'd d North' you would
sit stark naked.' "

The sooner the friends of prohi

of the liquor traffic than any other

of complete suppression it is, as its

however, by the comparative test,
which i tho only fair one, it has
been demonstrated by actual trial
to be superior, in this state at least,

SOMKllllNU NKW IS WATCH KS,
lleiinitirully Sealed anil Kiiniiing Tor
'Three Yar.
Ho entered a Maiden Lane shop
and asked for a watch.
"I want something that will keep
time," ho said.
Tho dealer brought a small vel
vet rug and placed two watches on
it, one a superb gold instrument
and the other a nickel-plated.
" Ho you recommend these?"
" We do."
" Whose works?"
"This," touching the gold one,
" is by a well-known maker. I can
not say who made tho other."
" Both Swiss?"
" Moth."
" And tho prices?"
"For the cold one 3I."; for tho
other $G SO."
" Six dollars and a half against
$31,")! Both keep time; one keeps
as good time a tho other. Do you
really recommend thi nickel af
fair?"
" Wo do. Wo have sold numbers
of them and have never heard a
complaint. No such watch can be
inndo in this country for anything
like tho price. It seems chea
enough at $0 r0, but you know
there is a duty of 25 per. cent, on
it, besides which wo mako a emal
profit. I dare say tho sumo watch
can be bought in Paris for twenty
francs.
"Those foreigners have recently
mado remarkable improvement in
watches and clocks, which, soonc
or ltitor, will bring about a complete
revolution in horology. A journey
man clock-maker in tho neighbor
hood of Lyons has invented a mcth
od oi making a lady s watch go
without being wound up during
whole year, a man's watch during
throo years, a pendulum of middling
sizo twenty years, and a public
clock for a space of two hundred
and eighty years,
" He makes wotchesof sosmall a
ize that thoy aro worn in finger
ring, taking the place of a seal, and
require winding up once in fifteen

the wab h worn by thoKmpre Ma
ria Ixiuise, on tho fore-finger of her
left hand. This wa a rare jewel,
and was said to have cost 2r0,000
franc. Fifty francs will buy one
like it now.
" There is one great drawback to
these watches. They can be wound
up only by the inventor himself, or
those acquainted with his secret.

Hi well k now n that the late Capt.
Kri'-Mon was of a robust constitu
tion and remarkable power of en
during continuous sedentary appli
cation, but it is not so well known
that he wa posesed of enormous
physical strength. Of this he was
not vain, nor waB it often exerted;
he huibanded his resources with
iealou care, with a view to their
exixsnditure in useful wore. in
one or two instances, however, his
muscular power was displayed in a
startling manner.
He wa always very particular
alxnit the quality of both material
and workuianihip, and on one occa
sion during the construction of an
engine at Delamater's a certain
casting appeared to him doubtful as
to soundness, and he ordered it to
be broken up. And possibly sus
pecting that blowholes might be
plugged, or th siiipected piece
made to do duty in eome way he in
sisted on haying it broken on the
spot. Some stalwart workmen at
tacked it with heavy two-handed
sledges, but failing to make an im
pression they desisted at length,
saying, "We'will put it under the
dri.p by and by." His quick tem
per mio at this, but he spoke not a
word; with hi right hand he
snatched the sledge from the near
est man, and in a moment it
whirled like a meteor before theaa
tonished ictator, the ponderou
tool driving it head at th first
stroke through the shell of the du
bious casting, making it a hopeless
reck. He tossed away the slt dge
i if it had been a jack straw, and
turning on his heel strode away
ith the remark, "Now you may
put it under the drop."
During one of his visits or ln-
pection to the .Monitor, wmie n-
woa building, he was annoyed by
tripping once or twici over a heavy
ar of iron. Turning to two work
men, near at hand, he asked them
to remove it, but they said it was too
heavy. Nettled at this refusal and

made no replv, but stooping he
pickod up the bar with his own
hand, carried it without assistance
across the shop, and threw it on a
scrap heap. The two men were
amazed, as well they might be, to
lee a sii'gle man already nearly l0
years of age, dealing in this suni
mary way with a matter they had
not ventured to meddle with, lhey
nroeured some assistance at noon
time, and out of curioiity weighed
' . . . a
the offending bar, which showed
upon tho scales nearly a third of a
ton.
A correspondent at Washington
writei: "Reed is the first man I
have seen in the Speaker's chair
who could get absolute quiet on the
floor of tho house when a document
is to be read ora member desires to
address the house. In that respect
he is making an admirable presid
ing oflicer. If there is confusion on
tho floor he stops all business and
will not let it proceed until order is
completely restored."
