Over the" head of the little one whose -sweet, sad, tremulous tones uttered that sentence, scarce ten years had passed ; yet, brief as they were, fearful were the traces left of their presence. Upon the low, expansive, swelling forehead, darkened by burning sun rays, heavr wind atid rain, and bhaded by tresses of the deepest im aginable hue, which feil in reckless gracefulness over the frail shoulders, were evidence of want, anxiety, and sulTerins sufficient for three score years. The purely, delicately-curv-vd lips wore lines deep lines cut bv the unmistakable hand of sor row, and the eyes, like southern purple seas, when wrapped in the wondrous grandeur of the moon light, held a look of hopeless long ing that would have leen pitiable even in age. Muni- months had this fragile t bov trodden the crowded thorough fare, the ioor little unclad feet blis tered, bleeding from the ecorchiug sun of summer or biting cold of winter ; trodden it from the early morning, with weary throbbing heard and aching limbs, till not one purchaser could be found. Uravely, without a murmur, bad he borne'the jeers, taunts, blows of the low and vulgar, and the scorn, reproaches, and the bitter unkind ness of the lofty. Often his only sustenance had been '"a cup of cold water' and a morsel of bread ; yet it was not delivered in the name of the Nazarene. Uncomplainingly the heroic spirit battled with the clouds of despair which threatened to enfold him battled, while, oh, bow feebly, burn ed in his life's horizon hope's star. Sometimes adown his cheek, grown thin and wan from disappointment, trial, anguish, would course tears so wild and bitter, he wondered that their crystal hue was not crimsoned by his heart's blood ; but, with a mighty will, worthy of manhood, they were suddenly dashed aside. She should not behold them she, his beautiful, angle-like, invalid whose idol, next to her God, be was. Through her veins ran the fatal K)ison of the destroyer, and with fiendish iov be watched the ruin he knew would be inevitable. The large, soil eyes, natvrally radient, at times glanced with splendor almost unearthly; the lovely roses blos somed upon the oval patrician face, till the child believed health had returned to his loved one ; but de ceiving and valueless were they, as the beautiful fruit of the still, still sea and that form which had glided through halls of wealth and fame, cynosure of all eyes, had lost its ex quisite roundness, until it resembled nearly as much an inhabitant of the "city of the dead"1 as the living. "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is re membering happier things!'' Dwelling upon the halcyon past when joy, leep as mortals know, was hers; when father, mother, husband and children clustered about her fondlv, her soul, in its most unendurable grief, had often exclaimed : "My God! my God! why hast Thou forsaken me ?n That husband, on a far and gory field of Tennessee, after the desper ately fought, victorious battle, in all honor exchanged the belved gray for the white uniform of the home who said : "We will cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." Both parents a loving daughter soon after left for the "land of the hereafter," and only one stay was left her. A stay in its fullest mean ing was that noble, self-forgetting bov. ly war and injustice this delicate woman had seen her elegant home and large possessions torn from her, all jiowerless to resist Sometimes the monster granted her a respite from severe suffering, and at such periods the dim light of her misera ble tenement room was extinguish ed only as morning's brightness crept through the dreary window. The slender, wiry lingers, which were wont to execute with brillian cy the ravishing music of Mosart and Beethoven, and nestle among .estle amon5 the fabrics of Persia t ieiaoncsni rersia, now wasneu l.iliorers How could she have prevented Pulllil shi linve spw-ml for a it livt lilirnwi H.i.t KhedoiieHO tlie re mainder of her existence would not have lengthened into months.

The ladv, tlusueu witn snamc anu anger, exclaimed : "How could you net so contemptuously, so cowardly, Harry ? I 6hall punish you severe ly for this!" Turning to the boy, she kindly apologizee for her son's behavior, and delicately insisted on his taking some change she held in her hand. "But, mother," returned loung America, "it does not matter much ; he is only a newsboy." Tears, the first in many days, coursed down the pallid face. Save his mother's, these were the only kind words addressed the child in oh, so long! , i "Hope spring eternal in the hu man breast;" he forgot his mental and physical suffering in the hope of alleviating his mother's. "Such nuisances should not be tolerated to disgrace our city cars ? Raise your dress, Julia, tr he might soil it hateful, ragged little news boy !"' The red lips of two superb ly dressed belles curled disdainfully, and they drew themselves as far away as possible from the cause of their remark, lest he should con taminate them.

Gentle nier. who have been all animation the previous moment, become shiningly cold, like the crystal chan dilier; others, who have "set the ta ble in a roar," collapse "to dumb forgetfulucss a prey."

Those who will trust a ajrent tfhh this important work choose to incur risks, and almost alwavs find that they have met them. The wiser way is to go to the grower who has a character and a v.ncSnrca nf : stake, and is nrettv sure to raise the varieties that give most satisfaction in the particular tocau tv, while making trial of new sorts of promise. The purchaser can then Eee whole rows of the kinds he determines to plant, and can mark with colored string or otherwise the trees he prelers. An inexperienced person is very apt to select a neat, clean-stemmed, straight specimen, grown like a weed, such as one sees where trees come up thickly in each other's shade, and on rich clean soil. But such trees, with their thin, delicate bark unshaded by leaves, are least fit to endure expos ure to sun and wind, and unshelter ed, unmulched soil. The knowing planter prefers a stout stem, short rather than long and full of buds and sours from which leaves can issue to shade the stem and help the ascent of sap ; which will also yield early first samples of the fruit If shoots issue from these lower down than he would have the head, he stops the extension by a timely pinch with thumb and finger as growth goes on. If the stem is not erect, that is a minor and tempora ry drawback, easily remedied by a stake and a string rightly applied.

Among me plans proposed to tho British bal loon Rie.ietv. is that of a balloon to be kept under control by means of compressed gas. The gas would be Storeu in a huiwoic wui & uuu j w sure, and the balloon would be re duced in Bize or enlarged t pleasure by admitting or withdrawing gas which might be etlected ny simpiy r.rank. The balloon would of course fall when reduced in size and rise as it became expanded, ho that ballast and waste of yis would be rendered unnecessary. Improve ment in another direction is etill sought by aeronauts who are striv ing to travel considerable distances in pre-de-terniined courses.. Little success has attended these efforts. The most important ballooning scheme now before the public is Commander Cheyne's project for reaching the north polo. He pro poses to travel bv sea as fir as prac ticable and to complete the distance to the pole in immense balloons. He is very sanguine of success. It is to be sincerely hoped that the thought and money now being de voted to air navigation may lead to useful results.

How greatly woui i jiuinao knowledge be narrowed had the mi croscope never existed ? This won derful instrument has not only re vealed the magnitude and imjior tance of the unseen world about us, and shown us many hidden mar vels, but it has furnished us with means of studying disease which will never cease to be an inestima ble boon. It shows that the animal life is preyed upon by a variety of organisms, producing disease whose cause would never have been sus pected without its aid. The knowl edge thus gained has in several in stances led to the discovery of meth ods of rendering the attacks of these minute parasites comparitively harmless, thus conquering certain dreaded maladies. Observations of this kind are only of very recent date, but the progress made has ieen very remarkable. All epidemic or contagious diseases are now.believed to be due to microscopic organisms in the blood, and it appears quite probable that M. Posteur's plan of vaccination may ere long be success fully applied to all ailments f this kind with th result of greatly re ducing their ravages. It is hoped that these new ideas concerning disease may soon lead to a lessening of the death-rate from such wide A disorders as scarlet and ty- j phus fevers and diphtheria.

They dusr first w'ith ono fore-foot, then with the other, the holes grad ually becominu larger and larger, and the bodies of the animals becoming more hidden. The snow was about four feet in depth, and some of the holes had been dug so far that nothing save their swaying tails could be seen of some of the reindeer. In every direction these busy creatures were to be seen toil ing with the sole object of reaching the moss covered by snow: Iate measurements of the carbon ic s'cid existing at considerable heights above the earth's surface ap pear to show that the gas is pretty even :v distributed throughout our atmo-phere.

Why should we fear that which will enme Ui all that is ? We cannot tell, we do not know which is the greatest blessing life or death. We cannot say that death is not a good. Wf 00 not know whether the crave io the end of this life or the door of another, or whether the night here is not somewhere else a dawn. Neither can we tell which is the more fortunate the child dying in its mother's arms before its lips have lonrned ti form a word, or he who journeys all the length of life's un even road, pamluliy taKing me asi slow steps with staff and crutch. Every cradle asks us "Whence ?" and every coffin "Wither ?" The poor barbarian, weeping above its dead, can answer these questions as intelligently and satisfactorily as the robed priest of the most authent ic creed. The tearful ignorance of the one is just as consoling as the learned ami unmeaning words of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of life has touched a grave, has any right to prophesy a future filled with tears and pain. It may be that death gives all there is of worth to life. If those we press and strain against our hearts could never die perhaps that love would wither from the earth. May bo this fate treads from out our hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate, and I had rather live and love where death is king than have eter nal life where love is not Another life is naught, unless we know and love again the ones who know us here. Thev who stand with breaking hearts around this grave need have no fear. The larger ami nobler faith in nil thnt is and is to be telis us that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest. We know that through the common wants of life the needs and duties of each hour their grief will lessen every day until at last this srave will be to them a piace 01 rest and peace almost of joy. There is for them this consolation. The dead do not suffer. If they live azain their lives will surely be as good as ours. We have no lear. We are all children of the same mother and the same fate awaits us all. We. too, have our religion, and it is this : Help for the living, hope for the dead. Sandwich Islander in Swimming. Our miide had arranced for an ex hibition of the swimming powers of the natives, and upon our arrival we found several men on the sioe 01 tl. full where we took Our Stand, while upon tho other bank stood six or seven tlusKy maiuens. ine wa ter tumbles over a series ot natural bridges commencing high up in the mountain ranrrp. The main fall is a sheet about twenty yards wide, and with other rmaller streams falls into a circular basin beneath at a depth of at least 100 feet. A series of rude declivities have been cut by the na tives to a depth of sixty or seventy feet, to enable visitors to witness their watery gamliols. Our party were perfectly astonished at the way in which these Kankas disported themselves in the water. Divested nf nil lotbinr. both men and wom en would dive into the basin or pool to a depth ot thirty or lony iceu .1 coin thrown into the water would be brought up with the greatest ra pidity. Some of the girls took up a position on a rock which, to judge by eye measurement, was at least sixty feet high, and jumped into the basin with their bodies in a rigid po sition. Others again ascended to the toD of the fall and came down with the water in its descent. No small wonder, indeed that the Kana kas are able to conquer the sharks, which they do by getting under their belly" and ripping it open. The Hog Crop. It is the opinion of many that we will have a large hog crop this year. In these days, when half of the hoss raised are marketed ut or under one year of age, it does not take long to make a good shortage. - It is true that a shortage of corn will very soon make itself apparent in the weight and general development of stock, but it does not necessarily in terfere with theincrease iu nnmbers. and though the spring of l-SSl was generally very unfavorable, for pigs, evcrvthiinr since has been in favor of the breeder. The feeder, howev er, has been compelled to work on n more economical basis, than usual, and many a lot of hogs that should have been kept gaining by full feed ing, has been allowed, or ramer compiled, to root hog or die sure enoutdi. At the tiresent time we are getting lilieral runs of givnl hogs, from 30,000 to 50,000 per day at this point, and the indications do not point very strongly to any very serious falling, off in the crop of marketable hogs for the spring and summer. A tact to be lurne, in mind, however, is that prices have recently advanced to tempting fig nroa si hio-Ii na 7 for extr.i heavy hogs well calculated to draw strong ly on the available hog crop. ) rer's Journal.

IV h Are Yonr Friend. If you want to find out how iiii.ii , ti iv .....j . v . . - v, j - r good" long fqieli of serious illness not an accurate disease mat rouses a transient sympathy, but a spell of Weeks or months in bed, when you have nothing to say to amuse peo ple, and need rather to absorb vi Ulity than to giye it That is the time when your friends are all over whelmed with affairs of their own. While you are well and strong, can entertain and make your home pleuaant, your friends all think so much of you that they can't stay away, but when you are sick, it is wonderful bow their engagements increase. They really have not an hour they can call their own, if that hour is to be devoted to diversifying the tedium of a sick room. Occa sionally, however, some unselfish soul will remember that it is hard, when sickness lay9 you low, to feel those to whose pleasure you have ministered while in health have to tnllv fomnttpn vou. and makes an effort to write a note of sympathy, n il ' - 11. or leave a card. . ven mis is oeiier than nothing, and here and there one may be found who will remem ber past pleasant associations, and endeavor by present kindness and friendly attention to keep that mem ory warm. . Fatally Stabbed. Jkifkksoxville, 111., Feb. 3. Iwis IL Phipps, residing near Fieldon, had some trouble with a lot of school children on the high way this mon.ing, and followed them to the school house near Rose dale, where a son of Tuck Metford, aged 15 years, whipped out a knife and stabbed Phippr. to death. The boy is now in jail. Phipps was a man of 'M and was married. In the city of Albany, N. Y., where a nervous cow was milked by a pas sionate man, who whipped and otherwise ill-treated her at milking, the milk was given to a child who had been healhty, but, after using the milk became ill and suffered from intestinal irritation, followed by a fever which seemed to affect tile brain and nervous system. This illness was traced directly to the milk of this ill-treated cow. Ahtion al Lice Stuck Journal. A Single Check, for $0,707,700.75. Philadelphia, Feb. 1.
