AT HUME.
When I was dead, my spirit turned
To seek the much-frequented house ;
I passed the door, and saw my friends
Feasting beneath green orange-boughs,
From hand to hand they pushed the wine,
rl hey sucked the pulp of plum and peach ;
They sang, they Jested, and they laughed,
For each was loved of each.
I listened to their honest chat :
Said ono ; "To-morrow we shall be
Plodding along the featureless sands.
And coasting miles and miles ot sea."
Said one : Before the turn of tide
We will achieve the eyry-seat."
Said ono : "To-morrow shall be like
To-day, but much more sweet."
"To-morrow,"' said they, strong with hope,
And dwell upon the pleasant way :
"To-morrow," cried they, one and aU,
While no one spoke of yesterday.
Their It e stood full at blessed noon :
I, only I, had pasied away ;
"To-morrow and to-day," they cried !
1 was ot esterday.
I shivered comfortless, but cast
No chill across the table-cloth ;
I, all forgotten, shivered, sad
To stay, and et to part how loath I
I passed from the familiar room,
I, who from lovo had passed away,
Like the remembrance of a guest
That tarrletu but a day.

The people rnjojinp the breeze were a
family by Ihe name ol Kenton, nnd ronsislrd
nfn lather and mother,twoprown updai!gh-
ters, one prown-up son and a little pirl.
Mrs. Fenton hud just been saying thnt she
iippused they would soon be overrun with
visitors coming to spsnd a few days nnd s-e
the Centennial,
"Well, let them come I" r-aid Mr. Fenton,
heartily, ns be turned his paper inside out
"I don't know one that I wouldn't be glad
to see."
"Nor I,'' returned Mrs. Fenton. "I am
always so thankful that we needn't be
ashamed of any of our relations. There's
sister Kate! who could be more delightful
than she is?"
"Oh, Aunt Kate is perfectly splendid 1"
chorused the young people.
"And there's Uncle Phil andAuntEmily,"
said Mabel, the eldest girl.
"And Cousin Joe and his wife," added
Florence, the second daughter.
"And John and bit family," put In Mr.
Fenlnu.
"Oh I if you go to counting up, you'll
never get through," said Tom, the son and
heir. "But I say, haven't we any objection
able connections at all? Isn't there some
Id duller who'll turn up just at the wrong
moment "
"No, I haven't any," said Mr. Fenton.
' No o-o," fald Mrs Fenton, rubbing her
forehead thoughtfully. "Stop 1 I think I
remember one. Uf course Cousin Jf rushsl
1 wonder I didn't think before. But I don't
know that she is objectionable j the fact i, I
don't know anything about her. She is a
niece of grandfather's, nnd is an old maid ;
at least she ought to be, if she isn't married
or dead. Her name is Hevlngton Jerusha
Ilevlngton. I always thought it such n pity
to spoil such a fine name as Uevingtnn with
Jerusha, I hope she won't come ; I'm suro
she must be perfectly awful!"
The two young ladies had been looking
at their mother in blank silence ever slice
she had mentioned this unpleasant relation.
Tom had pone off in a fit of laughter; s i
that Mr. Fenton wns the only one who
spoke :
' ell, if she comes, all we can do is to
make tho best of it, and treat her ai well os
we know how."
"Oh, of course," said Mrs. Fenton,
Tom hero looked at his watch, and started
up, exclaiming that he should be late, he
had an appointment, and bolted off, pruiiiis
ing to be home early, Then Mr, Fento i
ettUd down fnra pap j Mrs Fenton buried
herself in "Ljirni Doone;" and the glrl
yawned over their Japanese canvas, fearing
a dull evening. .
The nlr penily fluttered the laco curtain,

evening dresses, and the old gentleman snor
ing nwny behind bis newspaper ; all was as
oulet a quiet could bo when a violent peal
ut the door-bell made them all nearly jump
out of their skins.
"Who on earth is that 1" asked Mr. Fen
ton, bouncing up.
Mrs. Fenton dropped her book and gave a
scared look Into the hall.
"I tuppose it'i Mr. Vanderpool," said Ma
bel.
"Oh, no, he never rings like that," Bald
Florence,
Their old colored waiter had opened the
door by this time, and a loud voice was heard
inquiring "Does Mr, Kcntou Mr. Samuel
benton live here ? "
'Ye,ina'aui,le, doos,"old Jama answered
rely self ally.
"Wn'nl, then, I piles I'll walk right In-
I seen the folks through tho winder " nnd
apparently befnro the old servant could stop
her, the, owner of the face did "'walk right

and tucking her umbrella under the carpet-
bi! arm, she extended her hand. ''Wa'iO,

"Wa'al I gtifss I won't jest now, thank

In a minute j I had It loft in a grocery store
jest around tho cor.ier. The young man wns
awful pleasant when I told him that I was
one of your folks he Heems to set a heap by

"Good gracioin I" thought Florence, with
a shudder. "I wonder if she has been going
all through the city advertising her relation
ship to us 1"
"Wa'al, Samuel," began 'Mrs. Jerusha
"Yer ve got two fine, likely gnl; they ought
to he'p their mar a sight in doin' housework

work to keep nil them funin's "clean," with
nil admiring, rutherawe-striick glance about
the room. Then went on, "Is thein all the
children yer've got, Mira ?"
. Mrs. Fenton answered that she had bvo
more, a son nnd a little daughter. Mabel
offered to send for her littlo sister, thinking
that a child might make converge easier, but
MNs Jerusha answered,- witli such evident
alarm and disrelish, "For law's sake, no I I

in a loud voice.
Mabel wished that tho earth would open

'Wn'nl, yrr needn't git so nil-fired red .

Mabel felt the cold shivers running uptind

Miss Jeiusha, quite blissful, turned to Mr.

The girls sat shuddering nnd wondering

with such nrdeut admiration that he bewail

"You're awful like Linus Swlnefield I"
she exclaimed at length "llio fust beau I

Effect of Imagination upon Health.
To regain or to recover health, persons
should be relieved front all anxiety concern
ing diseases. Tho mind has much influence
over the'body. For a person to think that
lie has a tllse.tso may .produce that disease.
luiswoaeo enecteu wlien the minu is in
tensely concentrated upon the disease of
another. It is found in the hospitals that
physicians who make a speciality of cer
tain diseases aro liable to die of them them
selves ; and tho mental power is so great
that sometimes people die from a disease
which they only luvo iu imagination. Per
sons havo been known who have become
seasick iu antlcipa'ion of n voyage before
reaching the vessel. Wo have known a per
son to die from imagination that lio had a
cancer in hit stomach, when he bad no can
cer nor any other mortal disease. A blind,
folded man, slightly pricked in the arm
has fainted and died from believing thnt
ho was libelling to death. Reading a
medical book containing descriptions
of certain diseases lias often produced
the symptoms, even among oung medical
students while they at last got the dis
ea-e, utile s it was stopped by common
sei.so treatment. Thereforo well per
sons, to remain well, should be cheerful and
happy; and sick persons should have their ut
tenlioii drawn as much as possible from
themselves, and directed upon tho subjects

its turn, so.iii! induence over the body nnd

one knows, lor in-tance, how the, appetite

Kerp Straight Ahead.
1 ay no attention to slanderers or gosip
mongers. Keep straight on in vour courso,
and let their back-bitings dio the death of
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
of a night, brooding over tno remarks of
some false friend, that runs through, your
brain liko forked lightning? What is.the
use of getting into a worry and fret over
gossip that has been set afloat to your dis
advantage, by some meddlesome busybody,
who has more "tiinr than character ? These
tilings can't pnss.bly injure you, unless, in
deed, you take notice of them, and in com
bating them give them character and stand

yo6rsdf right at once; if it is false, let It
go'for what it will fetch. If a bee stings

tho bHikhitlngs and gosslpings wa may
hear by tho way. They are annoying, It is
true, but uot dangerous, so long as we do
not stop to expostulate and scold. Our char
acters are formed and sustained by ourselves
nnd by our own actions and purposes, nnd
not by others. Let us bear in mind that

Monkeys fcr Cotton Pickers.
A Thomas county cofon planter has
tried to put the imitative traits of the mjii-
key to practical u-o in tho field. He
thoiigglit that if he should put a number of
monkeys into u cotton field, in company
wiili a lot of negr ies who would begin pick
ing cotton industriously, it would not be
long nut. So he procured some 200 from
South America, and made the experiment.
It worketl to a i lisrin, No sootier did'the
monkey perceive the negroes seize tho ci t
ton hush am) strip it of its fleecy fruit thau
they did the same with greater quickness
ami ninth more certain hand carrying
ulong no trash. It was magnificent The
planter saw fortune smiling upon him; he
stood iu tin- fu ltl and watched them all day.

A lilltle Advice to CorrenponJenti.
We have already had a great deal of com
plaint from some of our occasional corres
pondents about mistakes which appear in
their articles when they come out In print.
We are awaro that In many cases the fault
Is ours, but wo are confident tho matter
ciuld bo remedied If our correspondents
would pay a little moro attention to the pre
paration of their manuscript. Printers are
not Infallible, and our proof readers do some
times make mistnkes, Wut we havo prepared
a few practical hints and Instructions, and if
our friends who writo to the paper once in a
while will kindly act upon our suggestions,
we will be personally responsible for all er
rors that our compositors may make in set
ting (not sitting) up their manuscript.
Never write with pen or ink. It is alto
gether too plain, and doesn't hold the mind
of the editors and printers clasely enough to
their work.
If you nrc compelled to use ink never use
thnt vulgarity known as the blotting pad.
If you drop a blot of ink.on the paper, lick
it off. The Intelligent Compositor loves
nothing so dearly us the smear this will
make across twenty or thirty words. Wc
have seen him hang over such a piece of
copy half an hour, swearing like a pirate all
the time he felt that good.
Don't punctuate. We prefer to punctu-
ato all manuscript sent to us. And don't
use capitals. Then we can punctuate nnd
capitalize to suit ourselves, nnd your article,
when you seo it in print, will astonish, even
if it does not please you.
Don't try 'to write too plainly. It is a sign
of plebeian origin' and public school breed
ing. Poor writing is an Indication of gen
ius. It's about the only Indication of gen
ius that a great many men possess. Scrawl
your article with your eyes shut, and make
every word as illegible ai you can. We get
the same price for it from the rag-man as
though it were covered with copper-plate
sentences.
iVvoid all painstaking with proper names.
We know the full name of every man, wo
man nnd child In the United States, and the
merest hint at the name is sufficient. For
instance, if you write a character something
liko a drunken figure 8, and then draw a
wavy line, and the letter M nnd another
waving line, we will know at once that you
mean Samuel Morrison, even though you
may think you mean "Lemuel Messenger."
It is a great mistako that proper names
should be written plainly.
iVlways writo on both sides of the paper,
and when you have filled both sides of every
page trail a lino up and down every margin,
and back to tho top of tho first page, closing
your article by writing tho signature just
iibnc the date. Ilotv we do love to get bold
of articles written in this style. And how
we would like to get hold of the man who
sends them. Just for tec minutes. Alone.

Chicago has the champion croquet player

player is a woman. Bho has never been

Carran'i Reply to Judge Hoblnion.
At a time when Curran was only Just
rising Into notice, and white he was yet a
poor struggling man, Judge Robinson tt U
said, ventured upon a sneering joke which,
small though It was, but fur Curran's mAf
wit and scathing eloquence, might hare
done him Irreparable injury. Speaking of
some opinion of counsel on the opposite
side, Currau said he had consulted nil hi
books, and could not find a case in which
the principal In dispute was thus establish
ed. "That may be, Mr. Curran," sneered the
judge, "but I suspect your law library t
rather limited."
Curran eved the heartless toadr for a mo
ment, and then broke forth with this nobte
retaliation :
"It Is very true, my lord, that I am" Joor,
and this circumstance has certainly rather
curtailed my library. My books are" hot
numerous, but they are select, nnd I hop
have been perused with proper disposition.
have prepared myself for this high' pro
fession rather by the study of few' good
bonks than -by the composition of a great
many bad ones. I nm not ashamed of my
poverty, but I should be ashamed of my
wealth If I could stoop to acquire it by ser
vility and corruption. If I rise not to rank
I shall at least be honest ; and should I ever
cease to be so, many an example shows Ui
that an ill acquired elevation, by making
me the more conspicuous, would only
make me the more universally nud notor
iously contemptible."
Spring Millinery.
The mlHners are anticipating very few
novelties this season.
Chip bonnets of ecru shades will csntinuo
in vogue but a great number of fancy strawi
wilt also be Imported.
There will be bonnets partly of chip and
partly of lace straws, with brims of one and
crowns of the other.
The capote shape, It Is predicted, will pre
vail. Tho fronts of all bonnets nil! be close
against the face ; but thero will be some Va
riations in the crown.
Trimmings will be tied closely around th
crown, and follow Its outlines, Instead of be
ing massed in bows tUd'Joops.
A great many flowers will be used, espe
cially in wreaths and half garlands.
Tilleul green appears in folisge of every
plant.
Wreaths of rose, leaves of shaded green
will be used for spring hats for young la
dies.
Silk crowns will match the costumes in
color, and the front will be of satin finished
straw or fancy braids.
White lace will bo used in combination
with silks and gauzes for midsummer bon
nets. Many shades of yellow deeper than those
worn last summer promise to be popular.

A Hawk Among Hf.ns. Gilbert White
tells a most dramatic story of a neighbor
who tiad lost most of his chickens by a spar
row-hawk that came gliding down between
n faggot pile and thn end of his house to
the place where his coops stood. The own
er, vexed to Bee his flock diminishing, hung
a net between the pile and the bouse, into
which the bird dashed and was entangled.
the gentleman's resentment suggested, a fit
retaliation ; he therefore clipped the hawk's
wings, cut off his talons, and, fixing a.cork
on his bill, threw him down among the
brood-hens. "ImaginHtion,"says Mr. White
'cannot paint the scene that ensued; the
expressions that fear, rage and revenge in
spired were new, or at least such as had been
unnoticed before ; tho exasperated matrons
upbraided, they execrated, they insulted,
they triumphed. In a word, they' never de
sisted from buffeting their adversary till
they had torn him in hundred pieces.
