Better than grandeur, better than gold, Than rank nnd titles nlhoiitand.fold, Is n, healthy body nnd mind at case, And simtilo pleasures Hint til ways plcnsc t A heart that can feel for another's woo, And share its joys with 11 genial glow, With sympathies largo enough to enfold All men ns brothers, is better than gold, Better than gold is n conscience clear, Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere, Doubly blcsicd with content and health, Untried witli the lust or tho cares of wealth ; Lowly living nnd loft thought iVdorn and cnnoblo n poor man's cot ; For mind nnd morals, in naturo's plan, Are the genuine tests ot a gentleman. Better than gold is tho sweet repose Of tho sons of toil when their labors cloe j Better than gold is the poor man's sleep, nd tho balm that drops on his slumber deep, Bring sleepy draughts to the downy bed, Whero luxury pillows its aching head. But ho his pimple opiato deems A shorter routo to the land of dreams. Better than gotd is n thinking mind, That in the realms of books can find V treasure surpassing Australian ore, And livo with tho great and good of yore ; The sago's loro and the poet's lay, The glories of empires pass away ; Tho world's great dream will thus enfold, iV year of pleasure bettter than gold. Better than gold is a peaceful homo ; Where nil the fireside characters come, The thrino of love, tho heaven of life, Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wite ; However hnmblo the home may be, Or tried with sorrow by heaven's decree, Tho blosiings that never were bought nor sold, And centre there, are better than gold.

Select Story. PRECEPT AND PRACTICE. All quiet ; a bright fire burning In the polished stove, the pussey iat purring sleep ily on the rug ; the clock ticking like silver drops of water on the mantel-piece ; and Mrs. Ives' needle glancing in and out of the work like a small ray of lightning. The children were all tucked snugly up in bed, for Mrs. Julius Ives was the most devoted and obedient of conjugal partners. It was an exquisitely neat room a room where the sweet home element predominated in every nook and corner a room to which the tired business man might look forward all day, a haven of rest and peace. The clock struck eight ; pussy Btretched herself drowsily before the fire, and Mr. Ives laid down tho paper with a preparatory 'Ahem I 'And now, Melissa,' he said authoritative ly, 'you may brine me your house bills.' Poor Mrs. Ives started in her chair as if a cannon-ball had ominously thundered Into the silence ofthe cosy little apartment. How much she dreaded the weekly recurrence of this domestic ukase was only known to her self. It was. the skeleton in her closet the one embittering element of her happy home life the haunting ghost that po diplomacy had yet enabled her to exercise. Yet, like a well trained wife as she was, she brought tbo tiny packet of bills, and sat down meek- at her husband's side. The was a pretty woman, tall and grace ful, with straight, regular features, rosy cheeks, and soft, wistful eyes that looked like brown velvet ; a woman whose bands were always white and delicate, and whoso dresses always seemed to fit by magic Nor was Mr. Julius Ives a disagreeable specimen of mankind to look upon. He was large and finely formed, with black bair, strongly disposed to curl at the ends, and bright, black eyes. Yet, nevertheless, there was a certain curl in Mr. Ives' upper Hp that savored somewhat of the imperative mood. 'Butter again i That's five pounds we have used within the week,' moaned Mr. Ives, checking off the various items of the grocer's bill with the. little gold pencil that hung at his watch-chain, 'My dear, does Bridget grease the kitchen pans with butter ?' Mrs. Ives cheek glowed. 'Now, Julius, what Is the use of talking in that sarcastic sort of way ? You know very well that a family like ours cannot sub' siit on air and you like to have all the cook Ing very rich you know.' 'Rich I I should think so. Ham-cod fish. By the way, Melissa, Jones says they only buy meat three tlmea a week have It cold every other day. Ills wife knows bow to economize, I suppose you haven't the least idea what becomes of the joints after they have left the table V I bave no doubt' of Bridget's perfect hon' eaty, Julius.' 'Oh, no of courso not. But I do think, Melissa, it is a wife's duty to pay some at tention to her husband'a pocket' 'Why our bills are not disproportionately large, Julius.' 'They must be, my dear they must be. Positively its enough tn frighten one to run over tlicso items in tho housekeeping ac counts 1 Sugar raslns oil oysters I Me lissa, do I keep n resturnnt 1 If not, where do all these things go ?' Mrs. Ires was silent, 'Bread steaks joint two tons of coal I Upon my word I' Stilt Mr;, Ives maintained complete taci turnity. 'Melissa,' said her husband, placing the bills rather empatically on the table, 'v must turn over a new leaf wo must posi tively economize. Can't you retrench ex penses?' 'How V 'In a thousand ways, my dear. Why, my mother never spent half the money you con trivo to spend, and there was twelve of us.' 'Your mother lived on a farm, Julius, The milk, butter, cheese and vegetables were from her farm and dairy the meat and poultry were from her own barnyard and pasture. I don't think it fair to Institute a comparison between her expenses nnd mine.' . 'Oh, that's the way you women all talk I' said Mr. Ives impatiently. All I know is, that there is a screw loose somewhere. You must economize.' 'But, Julius' 'My love, don't you see I'm just lighting my cigar ? I can never smoko when my mind is in any way disturbed. Suppose we dismiss the subject ? I am quite sure I have stated my wishes on the subject with suffici ent distinctness.' Mrs. Ives bit her lip and sewed away vigorously on her work. But if her thoughts could have descended iu a shower bath of words on Mr. Julius Ives' head, how ther would have startled him from his calm com placency 1 'Yes. I'll economize,' thought Mrs. Me- lissa,vindictively digging the thread through tho seams, .'I'll givo him -enough of re trenchment. Why will a man relinquish his dignity so far as to interfere in matters he cannot possibly understand I I wonder if he thinks nino persons live on a pint of milk and two baked potatoes a day ? I won der if he knows that I make all the pud dings and pies, and give out the tea and coffee, and superintend everything every thing myself? He might know, if he would take the trouble to find out instead of indulging in sweeping denunciations. I won derif he suspects that I trim my own bonnets, and make my own dresses.and make my little ones' clothes, and save unnecessary outlay ? It s almost enough to make one wish they had never got married.' But then Melissa thought of the rosy lit tle ones fast asleep up stairs, and csncluded that on the whole there were so many sun beams in her lot. 'Hello, Elmer I Why, surely this is not you ?' 'Well, I don't know who else it can be,' coolly remarked tho handsome, bronzed looking gentleman, who had lounged into Mr. Ives' office. 'And I've brought Harry Lamarque.with me. You remember him don't you ?' 'Remember him should think so. And we haven't met before since our college days. Well, I declare ; this is a curious coincidence. You'll both of you promise to come and dine with me to-day at five o'clock, won't you ? Come, Im' sure you haven't any other engagement, and I'll introduce you to my wife." 'I'll come,' said Elmer promptly, and I'll engage to bring Lamarque with me.' 'But you are not going ?' 'I must I have no end of business to transact ; but we'll have a regular chat at dinner, old boy.' Melissa bad hardly despatched her little band of chubby-faced children to school that morning, when the office boy came knocking at the door with a note. From Mr. Ives, ma'am, there ain't 110 answer,' The note ran as follows "I shall bring two old college mates, El mer and Lamarque, to dinner. Let it be on the table promptly at six. Your affection ate JULIUS. 'Mrs. Ives folded up the note and deposited it in her desk with a comical smile hovering around her mouth. Economy is the order of the day Bhe thought. It was a bleak day toward the end of De- cember, with a raw wind and a sky over lad. en with clouds ; and Mr. Ives' nose was de cidedly tingled with blue as he ushered his two shivering guests into the parlor. 'Walk in,"gentlemen walk in and warm yourselves,' he said rubbing his bands with hospitable fervor. But contrary to all'his expectations, con trary to the usual domestic arrangements prevailing in that house-hold, there was no fire in the stove the Air .was as damp and chilly as that of a mausoleum. Julius bit his lip and repressed the rather demonstrative expression that was rising on his tongue. 'Be seated, geutlemen, I will rectify this mistake Immediately,' he said, leaviog the room. 'How Is this ? No fire and the room like an ice-well'' was his petulant exclamation as he met his wife in the hall. 'Coal is seven dollars a ton, Julius It Is necessary for us to economize,' said Me lissa, demurely. 'Send the maid this minute to kindle a fire,' said Julius, his teeth chattering. 'And my dear, you ate surely not going Into tjie room In that faded old dress?' 'Of course T am. My best silk is begin ing to wear, and as I can't afford another, I must be as economical as possible.'-'' Julius Ives made a queer grimace: he didn't at all likethe idea of swallowing his own words. And Melissa walked into the the presence of his friends, faded old dress antl all. 'Six o'clock isn't dinner nearly ready ?' asked Mr. Ives, consulting his clironometor, with a sort of warning glance at his wife. Melissa rose, and at the same Instant din ner was anounced. Now Mrs. Ires was a capital house keepei who possessed the faculty ot geettng up tempting dinners on short notice. So Julius naturally expected a repast suitable to the occasion, What was his dismay on behold log the cold hacked jolntof yesterday, flank od by a few potatoes, Elmer and Lamarquo took their seata with polite unconsciousness, but Julius looked btack as a thunder cloud. 'Melissa; what does this mean ?' ho whisp ered, 'Does what mean, my love ?' asked Me lissa, with n face of the most innocent won der in the world. Just at that moment tho little Ives burst Into the room shabby And patched. As a' general thing Julius wai passing proud of bli pretty, well dressed children, 'Go nnd get dressed my dears,' ho said sternly. 'What on earth does nurso mean by allowing you to come down stairs in this outlandish manner ?' 'Woaredrelhed, papa,' lisped out Master July, with the boldness of conscious recti tude. 'Mamma laid out the clothes for uth. She thays 1th eoon ccon ' But Mr. Julius Ivei hurried' and hustled the little ones out of the room without aoy further explanation. 'Melissa,' he said earuestly, drawing his wife to one side, into the bay window, 'what Is the matter ? Are you crazy ?' 'Not crazy, love,' sweetly answered Me lissa, 'only trying to follow the example of Mrs. Jones, and retrench,' 'But, my dear ' 'Pardon me, Julius ; you said that my extravagant housekeeping was 'wasting you out of house nnd homo. I think after this you will hardly venture to make that accusa tion a second time.' 'My dear, I I I was a fool,' said Julius with with a choking sensation under his cra vat.' 'I wn't. interfere In housekeeping af fairs again, 1 promise you. I am quite con. vinced that I know nothing whatever about the subject. Hereafter I will leave the mat ter entirely in your hands.' 'Entiroly and without Interference?' asked Mrs. Ives doubtfully. 'Entirely and without Interference,' said Mr. Ives decisively. Mrs. Ives turned to her puzzled guests : 'Gentlemen, will you please walk into the other room ?' she asked with a calm self- possession that rather astonished them. As she spoke, tho folding doors were thrown back, revealing an elegant llttlo apartment beyond. Julius walked to the head of the table with a most whimsical face. There were roast fowls and a ham, while various vegetables were arrayed in tempting proxi mity. Tho glass and sliver were all in a glitter, nnd a dainty llttlo desert was neatly arranged on the Bide board, Julius Ives' whole face cleared with magical promptitude. He turned round and gave his wife a hearty kiss before he commenced to carve the tur key. What Messrs, Elmer and Lamarque thought just then is not on record; but when Melissa came in subsequently to the after dinner cigars, with the little Iveses cluster ing about her as fresh and rosy as so many pink and white daisies, they must have con cluded that Julius knew what he was about when he married that pretty woman, with her brown eyes and coral-red mouth. And before the evening was out, Mr. Ives concluded that his domestic discomfiture was too good a joke to keep to himself, and so confided the whole story to his friends. 'Of course Mrs. Ives was right,' said El mer. 'To be sure she was,' assented Lamarque. I tell you, Jule, you made a donkey of your self that time. ur urn ,ur. avbs venture 10 ueay me sen evident fact. From that day to this he has never a word good, bad,or indifferent against the house keeping bills, Casey's Itemarkakable Adventures. A Montana Mail-Carrier Who Lived for Ten Days on Tobacco and Snow. Casey carried what is known as the horse' back mail, but which is, in fact, carried by a two-wheeled vehicle like a sulky, from Sun River to'the Twenty-Eight Mile Springs, On the 27 ult. he started from the former place. There was a blinding snow storm at the time, and the road across the prairie was wholly lost. As he did not reach the end of his drive at trie appointed time It was assumed that he had lost nis way, and this theory proved to bo .well founded. There were not wanting brave men both at Sun River aud Helena, to undertake the search for the missing man ; but. their most ardu ous efforts were in vain. On the 3d Inst. Mr. William Rawe rcachen Benton, and was iuf'.r m-,1 nf the circumstances. The weather was fearfully cold ; but this did not deter him from the attempt tbat humanity dictated. Mounted on a horse ho set forth and in due time found s, dim track where it seemed probable that Casey had left the main road. Following this his labors were rewarded on the 5th Inst, by findine the driver about twenty miles north of Twenty Eight Mile Springs. When Casey was found he was sitting in his cart, which the hone was drawing slowly and painfully along, He was 111 a doze and Mr, Rowe shouted to him once or twice before he was roused to consciousness. It was then found that his right foot and leg were frozen nearly to tho knee, and tbat bis left foot was In the time condition. It is believed that hie injuries are not serious and that he will not suffer the loss of either limb. His story was soon told ; and with bis recollection of his expe ience'and what Mr. Rowe learned in hi9 search is wonderful beyond fiction. The driver had been wandering over the track' less prairie for ten days and nights without food or shelter and with a-tempereture nev er above zero. All this time he had moved in a perfect clrclo and had picketed his horse aud camped almost every night in ab most the same spot. More remarkable Btill, he had daily passed within a mile and a half ofthe Twenty-eight Mile House which was bis destination. All this time, amid suffer ing which would have crushed an ordianary man, Bob Casey bad only one thought, that he mutt stay with the mail and getjit through whatever befell him. And he did ; not a single package was lost. Starving, half frozen and daztd by exposure and privation, It was not of himself ho thought; his duty was still uppermost in his mind. Here was heroic stuff, how many such cau the postal service boaat of? During all tluwj terrible days nnd nights the only thing that passed bis lips was tobacco and snow. He had with him a goodly supply of th. former ar; iicie ui uie itart, out as uay wore into nigni uuu,.iBu. .mo uay u0 urgaq uoaruing with as much avidity as ever did a miser tit gold. Diptitrla li Milk. It Is said to be an established fact that milk Is frequently an agent for the diffusion of dis ease. Epidemic outbreaks of typhoid or en teric fever have more than once been traced to a common supply of Infected milk, In these cases, however, the Injurious character of the milk has been attributed to lis con. tamlnatlon from external sources, at by means of Impure air or impure water, con taining the germs of the disease. But a more startling theory concerning the epidemic agency of milk .has recently been put for ward in England, and demands attention from the sanitary authorities In this country In view ofthe present prevalence of dlpthe rla in so many localities. It Is possible, not to say probable tbat dlptlieria has its origin in the diseased con dition of milch cows. Such at least Is the Inference which must be drawn from the carefully observed facts of two epidemics in England, both of recent occurrence, one in North London and the other at Woking. They indicate that a disease of the odder known as Qarget, arid generally regarded by dairymen as insignificant, may so affect the quality of the'mltk as to produce diptherla in the consumers. Inquiry leaves no donbt that milk from cows having garget finds its way into the market in considerable quantities. Only a portion of the udder is usually attacked by the disease, and the milk yielded by the other quarters dp not manifest any such change in quality as would ordinarily lead to its rejection. Indeed, so indifferently is the affection looked upon by the men having the charge of cows that they seldom inform their employers of its existence. A mem ber of the Pathological Society of London, who was led to Investigate the subject lately found several cases of garget among bis own cattle, although his bailiff had not thought them important enough to mention. The circumstances ef the North London epidemic of diptherla satisfied the sanitary officer charged with its investigation that the disease was distributed by the milk sup ply, and that the milk had not been con taminated by any influences from without. These conclusions are confirmed by the like ppinions of distinguished physicians t whom the facts bave been snbmltted. They natu rally lead to the question whether any spe cial disease could prevail, without attract ing particular notice, among the caws from which the milk came. The answer is that garget is just such a disease. And the be lief that the apparently slight affection in cattle may be transformed into diptherla, or may induce ".that disease in the human subject, is strengthened by the recent dip- thcritic outbreak at the Princess Mary's Home at Woking.. Garget was found to be prevalent on the farm which furnished miitc to that institution. The proceedings of the Pathological Soci ety of London In reference to this possible connection between diptherla and disease in cows .supply 'abundant evidence of the gravity with which the medical (profession regard the subject. It has been referred for investigation to a. committee of highly qual ified physicians, one of whom is Dr. Burdon Sanderson, and the results of their inquiry Cannot fall to be Important. In the mean time,ought not something in the same dirjo- tion to be done in this country ? N. Y, Sun. Boys Wanted.

'I am the boy who sweep's out all the offi' ces where he is,' said the, boy as he backed down the steps, ' and this morning I found a lettter in the big scrap sack." 'Well, you can leave it,' she replied. 'I I guess I hadn't better,' he half whis pered, as he showed the small pink envel ope. 'Boy that Is boy, let me see that letterl' she said as she advanced and extended her hand. Oh, 'twouldn't be 'zactly right, ma'am, 'cause I know he'd gin me fifty cents.' 'See here boy,' she said, as she felt for the dollar bill left her to buy coffee and tea, 'you take this, give me the letter, and don't say a word to Mr. - about finding the letter. 'I don't believe it's much of a letter,' he remarked. 'Never mind hand it over here's your money 1' 'Mebbe there hain't a word of writing in it, ma'am.' 'Here give me tho letter now go I' She took it and entered the house, and the boy with the peach-colored ears, flew down Ithe street like a cannibaljgoing to dinner. In about forty seconds the woman came out, looked up and down the street, and the expression around her mouth was not so happy and peaceful. The boy had seemed to doubt that there was any writing inside the envelope, but she was not quite prepared to tear it open and find a printed document commencing : 'Whereas, default having been made in the conditions of a certaiu mortgage,' etc. She wants to hold another interview with the lad. If this meets his eye he will please call between tho hours of eight and ten oclock a. m,, when she feels strongest. Detroit Frte Prtu. Counterfeit Coin. The amount of counterfeit coin in circula tion in the United States Is said to be tl,- 000,000, besides the great number of genu- ine pieces made fraudulent by the removal of irt ofthe metal. Wholly spurious coins are always lighter than the good ones, but an exception, described by the Scientific American, Is a $5 piece made of gold or til ver, and really costing the counterfeiter $3 40 each. Various ingenious modes are used In stealing gold from coins. The most common is 'sweating, which is done by using the' coin as the anode in an electro plating bath, the gold being abstracted from it and deposited on another surface. As much as two dollars worth of gold can be taken in that way from a double eagle, without mat ing any difference" that is detected except by weight. A less scientific plan is to file the smooth parts ofthe surfaco and reburn ish the spots. The most extensive fraud is 'Anllttlnp.1 Thn nnpmtnr statu, tit Mitn through neatly, gouges out the centre until ..,-..-. .-0 .

Church-goers at Somerville, Mass., worst surprised on Sunday morning to find th trees covered with sausage and lard, but subsequently discovered that a tank had ex pioded in a pork-packing establishment. A Washington correspondent having ask ed if the introduction into Congress of A few Indians would not have a good effect upon that body, the Louisville Ctmritr Journal makes answer : 'If they were trained to uss their scalping knives with proper discrimi nation, it certainly would.' At Shoreditcb, England, the other day a shopkeeper sued a gentleman for 2 lGs. and the defendant said nothing, but when the case was called in court produced a re ceipted bill that the tradesman had to admit was genuine. He complained that the de fendant should have produced the receipt be fore Instead of allowing the case to go to trial, and the judge said 'the defendant bad acted strictly within his right, but he doubt ed whether the courtesy displayed was at all commendable. Under the circumstances th defendant was to blame and he must pay tha costs.' The English at Teheran got up a paper hunt the other day, pursuing instead of a fox two yonng men on horseback, having with them bags filled with fragments of newspa pers. The next day the Persians saw curious bits of paper with cabalistic signs on them sir-wed for severaf miles among tho hills in the neighborhood of the town. Some pie ces were picked up and taken to the town, There the priests had a solemn meeting which lasted for several hours. At last the real ex planation of the mystery was discovered, but as since that time there has been no rain the orthodox aro convinced that the infidel have bewitched the skies.

Judgo Hil ton has set at rest rumors which have been current for months past in connection with, the mysterious disappearance and reported discovery of the body of the late A.JT. Stew att. The body Ihas not yet been found. In conversation with a very prominent citizen this week Judge Hilton said: '! have not yet got the body. Of course there are several people who informed mo they were following clewa, all of them of seperate and distinct nature, which would lead finally to the recovery of the body. I have no confidence in any of them. I havo no doubt I will be able to get the' body in the end, but thfis far our efforts have not re sulted inits discovery.' N. Y. Star. Another flagrant case of interference with Federal officials is reported from Georgia, I An alleged revenue officer weflt into a Dal- ton cigar store and bought the last five cigars in a box ; then arrested the proprietor for having an undestroyed empty box in his possession.

The trial ofthe directors of the City of Glasgow Bank, on charge of fraud, theft, and embezzlement, which was begun on tho 20th ult, in the High Court of Justiciary has resulted In the conviction of Lewis Pot ter of the Glasgow shipping firm of Potter, Wilson & Co., and of Robert Sumner Stron- acb, the manager of the bank, of the ofienca as charged : the other Directors were found guilty of uttering false abstracts of balance sheets. Stronach and Potter were sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. The sentence of the other directors was8 months. The Swiss some time ago sanctioned the introduction of what is virtually unlimited facility of divorce. The result of the experi ment does not speak well for its effect on the domestic happiness ot the people. In 1877 the various courts of the confederacy decreed 1,030 dissolutions of matrimony and 194 temporary separations, being 4,74 for every hundred marriages. The rate varied from 1 ro in Catholic cantons like Uri, Oberwalden and Unterwalden, up to 4.97 in Berne, 6.62 in Geneva, 7.08 in Zurich and 7.32 in Glaris. A commentator remarks that it Is a curious fact that divorced people marry more readily, than celibates, but does not apparently take into consideration that in many cues the divorce is obtained as a preliminary to re marriage. The present is the severest winter they bave have bad in California for a long time and it has increased the mortality, chiefly among persons of middle and advanced age, fully twenty per 'cent. At the same time when their weather is compared with East ern winters, it becomes difficult to under stand why they should find it so trying. For about two months, with occasional rain,they have had a white frost every .morning, but as soon as the sun was fairly up that has dis appeared.
