FOR THE YOUNG PEORLE. Whmt • CklM Mt A little child I am indeed. And little do I know ; Much help and care I yet aball heed. That I may wieev prow ; If I would ever hope to do Thing* groat and good and uaefnl too. But even now I ought to try To do what good I may ; Ood never m*ht that each a* I Should only live to play, And talk and laugh and eat and drink, And sleep and wake and never think. One gentle word that I may apeak. Or one kind, loving deed. May, tbongh a trifle poor and weak. Prove like a tiny eeed , And who can tell what good may aprlng. From aneh a tiny little thing ? Then let me try each day and hour To act npon this plan; What little good ia in my power To do it while I can. If to be neeful thus 1 try I may do better by and by. v. Hew la Keep n Jeureel. The first thing to do in hogtnmug a journal, is to resolve to tiok to it. Don't begin, and let tin 1 poor journal die in a week. A johmM, or diary, should be written in every day, if possi ble. Now, dont he frightened at thia, for yon do a great many things every day, and thi* i&u't * very awful oondt tion. Tue time spent may be longer or shorter, according to the matter to be written np ; but try and write, at least a little, every day. " Sulla (fie* ie lima " —no day without a line—is a good motto. It is a great deal easier to write a little every day than to write up several days in one. Do not get for a jonrual a book with the dates already printed in it. That kind will do very well for a merchant's note-book, bui not few the young man or woman "who wants to keep a live, cheerful acconnt of a happv ana pleasant life, Sometimes von will have pienic or escnrsion to write abont, and will want to fill more space than the printed page allows. Buy a suhstautiaily-bonud blank-bopk, made of good paper ; write your name and address plainly on the fly-leaf, and, if yon choose, paste a cal endar inside the cover. Set down the date at the brad of the first page, thus : "Tuesday, Oetober 1, 1878. ' Then be gin the record of the endeavoring, as far as possible, to mention the events :n the correct order of time—morning, afternoon and evenuig. When this is dime, write in the middle of the page, " Wednesday, October 4," and you are j ready for the record at the next day. It i* well to set down to* year at the top of each page. But what are yon to writ* abont f First, the weather. Don't foqgat this. Write, "colli"and windy," or "warm and bright*" as the rase may be. It takes but aumoia-mt, and in a few years yon will jiare .a complete record of the weather, which will be found not ouly eoricna, bat useful. Then pat 4ewn the letters yon have received or written, and, if yon wish, any money paid or received. The day of beginning or leaving school ; the studies you pursue; visits from or to your friends; picnics or sleigh-ride*; the b viks yon hive read ; and all such items of interest should be noted. Write anything that you want to remember. After trying this plan a "short tin®, yon will be surprised at the many things constantly occurring which yon used to overlook, bnt which now form pleasant paragraphs in yonr book. Bnt don't try to wnte something when there is nothing to writs. If there is only a line to be Wr'tPn, write that, and" begin again next day. Do not st down anything abont peo ple which yon would not wish them to see. It is not likely that any one will ever req your writing, bat it ia possible; so always be careful abont what von write. The Chinese say of a spoken word, that once let fall, it cannot be Drought back by a chariot and six homes. Much more is this true of written words, and once out pf your possession, there * no t-Uiug wtu rd they will go, or who will see them. The 'oast time to write in a journal is in the tannine. Keep the book in yonr table-drawee, or on yonr desk, and after i upper, when the lamps are lighted, sit down yowr plain account of that day. Don't try to wnte an able and eloquent article, bnt simply give a state ment of what jo* have seen or done daring the day. For the first week or two after beginning a journal, the nov elty of "fite thing will keep up your in terest, and yop will be anxious" for the time to come when yon can write yonr journal. But, after a while, it becomes tedioniv Then is the time when yon must persevere. Write something every day, ad before long you will find that yon are becoming so accustomed to it, that yon would not willingly forego it After that, the way is plain, and the longer von live the more valuable and .n<i -peiAaMeyonr journal will become. But *ome practical young person nsks: Whgt is the good of a Journal ? There if ,vqpy much. In the first place, it teacluM habits of order and regulari ty. The bb* or girl who every evening arranges the proceedings of the day in svstematil fflfiL'aid regularly writes them to be careless in other KM iters. It helps the memory. A perw who keeps a journal naturally tries diring the day to remember things be se<.*f%ntf! be esn write them dowq. Then the act of writing helps to stfll turthej.tix the facts in Lis memory. A a a jonrual is a" first class teacher of penmanship. AH bovs and ggm should take pride m having the pages of t ; eir journals asneatand band -om" erftpossible. Compare one day's writing with that of the one before, and try to improve every day. Keeping :journa* ckivatra habits of observa tion, ahbaot and eoneise expression, and gives capital practice in composition, spelling, punctutation, and all the little ihingitliTncJ. go to make up a good let 'er-wn£>r, So, one who keep* a journal is all -while tearing to be a better penman* and a lietter composer with the advantage of writing original, historical and dqefiriptiv* articles, instead of copy ing the printed letters and sentences of a writing-book. Bat, best of all, a well -kept journal n continuous and complete family history, which is alwsys inter esting, tad often very useful. It is somctimia rery convenient to have a daily npcord of the year, and the young mmJbst will often have occasion to ref- r tb4is account of things gone l>y. Perhaps, some evening, when the family are sitting and "talking together, some one vfjll s4k : t What kind bf weather did we have last winter ?" or, " When was the picnic you were speaking of ?" and tfigptitrnsl referred to. Bnt the plearareof' Keeping a jonrual is itself no small reward. It is pleasant to ex ercise the faculty of writincr history, and to iiiik that vpu are taking the first step •otbwtf'wrtfißg newspapers and books. The yriter can practice on dif fer* nlGHed*-of styles, and can make his jonruaj a refeflrti/bot only Of events, bnt of hil* own progress as a thinker and writer.— W. S. Jerome, in Si. Siehola*. (¥t> w lUw a Bird lined Its Neat A Feterebprg (Va.) papersays : Some t im%h<at week Mr. William H. Walton, a farmer of Greenville county, wan seat ed on a fenoe near a stack of oats, watch ing tße-operations of his field hands, whoStcre at work. While seated on the fence a small bird alighted on hie shoulderA.atlA remained there until frightened siTayAyv a blow aimed at it by Mr. WHltou>. It flew off but a little mi v ai*V> *'^trif opd to be treated as before, and repeated this feat Until the gentle man concluded to allow it to remain or iiis fih'/njder in order to ascertain, if possible what induced ato act as de aoribe-r. The bird moved close np to Mr. Waltom'a iace and ' deliberately com metettl to pluck a mouthful of gray inmAomhia beard, after which it flew awflywthe oat-stack and disappeared ir tbtiirfrices between the sheaves of oats. UxMjiJF.attvm of the' 'stack disclosed the f aotffcbgt tiie bird was building its nesl and Lad used the beard for the pur post of making a lining for the same. Tht bird is said to have been of the wrer species. The Secret of Snake Charming. The London Dolly Trlraiap/i says: In India the favorite snake for exhibition is the cobra, partly because of its more striking appearance, and partly because, its deonlv character being so well known, any trifling with it spj>cara to the mi initiated public til* more wouderful. Nor, imiecil, do the pro fonnanc** of the Hindoo suske charmer lose, on (Hitter ac quaintance, all their marvelouancss, for courage of a high order, artaiug partly from the confidence acquired ty long prsetioe, is manifested in seicing and baggiug the dreoilful ophidian. Tn most cose* the charmer renders the reptiles harmless by drawing their pot aon fangs, aud the exhibition liocoiues then merely one of the snake's highly I trained condition. On the other hand, it often happens that tiie basket contains the veritable death dealer; and a cobra with his fangs undrawn is nearly always forthcoming if the temptation in money l>e autlkMcutlv strong. Rut in the han dling oftlie creature when once exposed there is uo hesitation, for hesitation means death, and in Uis swift seixure and sudden release there is daring of an exceptional kind. A cobra strike*, when it tia>< really made up its miud to strike, with liglituiug rapidity, and to dodge lightning siioceaanilly, requires \iniad arable agilitr. The snake charmer*, however, when put on their mettle, will grasp the erect cobra with impunity, owing solely to ( ilio HUPONIVR SPTHVI CHI tlifir IUOVIHUCUU, for by a feiut they provoke the reptile to strike, and before it con reoover it* I attitude seise it l>e!ow the Jaws. In the same wsv the lchnenmon or mongoose secures u crabst with veuomoti* snake* a ewiijwrative immuuity. It was for a long time an article of faith with writers of popular works on ustural history, that this animal snjoved a ia<mplete im munity. bnt scientific experiment has correotol the fallacy. A mongoose snd a cobr* vxmtintxi t>gekier fought freely, and though the latter seemed to the eye t to strike lus antagouiat, the mongoose on leing rxominivl after it hat! killed the snake, was found to bo untouched. Another cobra was thou Immglit on to the scene, and, being made to close its fangs ou thej mongoose'* the ani mal confessed its sus.wptibility to the isiison by dving in alxmt four minute*. Il was therefore bv iu superior activity alone that in fair fight with the reptile it had esraped unhurt, and to the same cause the saake oharaior owes the immu nity that attends hi* exhibition. But as in the cose of the mongoose, the snake ohsrmvr when actually bitten dies as rapidly as any other creature, and in spit© of all the powers of his charms, root* and snake stone*. The Hindoo spectator refuses to believe this, and en | -ova, therefore, by bis credulity, a pleas ure denied to more intelligent audiences, for if we could ouly accept a* truth the charmer's statement that he ho* really itsen bitten, and that red drops on the bitteu (qwt were actually blood exuding from the fatal pnnetnre, and could then believe that the root he smelt, the stone he applied to the wound, and the charms he muttered were veritably counter-act ing the magic of the oobnt's poison, the spectacle would be of surpassing in terest, sinoe it would be a miracle. For the cobra's bite there is no remedy except instant amputation, and the make ohorniex himself knows this well. As s means of general security he con fides in his dexterous sleight-of-haml, ' but in ease of awtdent* he came* a broad-bladed knife. Word* or Wisdom. The darkest dreams of life have hod besntifnl awakenings. None of ns is consistent. Uxrause none of us is wholly good or wholly bod. Some men, bv repeating what others have said, fancy that they are growing wise. . i Our glorious aspirations, which give ns life, grow torpid in the din of worldly bustle. Youth may sow more tares in one year tiion old age can ever pull up; Imt only old age knows it There are maiiv men whose tonga** might govern multitudes if they oouid ' govern their tongues. Things may be seen riifi'erently and differently shown, but aetions are visible though motives are secret. Good counsels observed are chains to grace which, nowleeted, prove halters to strangle undntiful children. There is no happiness in life, there is no misery, like that growing out of the i dispositions which con*ecrnte or dese crate a home. It is not wisdom, but ignorance, which 1 teaefca-i men presumption. Genius may 1 ! be sometimes arrogant, bnt nothing is so diffident as knowledge. ' To analyze the eharms of flowers ia ; like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy ' than to attempt to understand. If a man be gracious to strangers, it , | shows that he ia >p citisen cI the world i and hie heart is W island, cut off from other island*, but a MUtihenl that joins them. 1 The pilot who is always dreading a rock or a tempest must not complain if he remain a poor fisherman. We must - at times trust something to fortune, for I t fortune has often tome aliare in what ({happens. *t > The thought* we have had, the pic tures we have seen, can be again oalled ' back before the mind's wye aud before i the imagination; bnt the heart is not so ' obliging; it does not reproduce its pleos- II ing emotions. Yon find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not 1 make earnest effort to confer that pleas - * nre on others ? Yon will find half the ' . battle is gained if yon never allow your { sell to say anything gloomy. The Inventor of Has Lights. The inventor of gas light* i* said to have been a Frenchman, Phillippe le Bon, an engineer of roods and bridges, who, in 1772, adopted the idea of using for the purpose* of illumination the gases distilled during the combustion of wood. He labored for a long time in the attempt to perfect his crude inven tion, and it wu*not till 1799 that he con fided hi* discovery to the institute. In September. 1800, be took ont a patent, ami in 1801 be published a memorial cont lining tUe result cf hi* researches. Le Bon commenced by distilling wood in order to obtain from it gas, oil, pitch snd pyroligneons acid ; bnt bis work in dicated the possibility of obtaining go* by distillation Hum fatty or oily sub stance*. From 17F' to 1802 lei Bon made numeroualMi peri men t*. Hfl es tablished at Havre hi* first therelamps ; but the gas which he obtained, being imperfectly Heed from its imparities, gave only a feeble light and evolved jon insnpporiable odor, and the resnlt was that but little favor was shown to tb-> new discovery ; the inventor eventu ally died, ruined by his experiments. The English soon put into practice the i crude idea of Le Bon. In 1804 one Winsor patented and claimed thecred , it of inventing the process of lighting by gas ; in 1805 several shops in Bir -1 mingbam were illuminated by gas manu factured by the process of Winsor ami Murdoch. Among those wbp first nsed thia new light wa* Watts, the inventor ol ! the gteam engine. In 1816 the first nst of gas we medc in Loqdqc. and it wa ! not until 18W that this invention, really of French origin, was applied in France Taking CeW.

I FAR*, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD Ttk* Care *f il> Orefcar*. , 1 Whatever ou the farm doe* not rise to 1 a certain dignity in the estimation of , the farmer, ia usually sadly ucgloeted, !j if not otherwise abuse,!. While every farm has it* orchard, on a great mhnj >t 11 is considered of very little Monant, ; . being nsed only for supply*Ug home r ' wants. We have heard farmers go so r far a* to aay that it two cheaper to bay j fruit than to raise it. This opinion, ! 1 however, doe* not find general favor, we are happy to aay ; but while It is naual , ly thought desirable to have au orchard, . it is frequently the loot thing eaml tor, , if it is ever eausl for. We have seen r trtxui oultivaUsl orchards sliauiefiiUy I abnaad, and th*t it n j-ermltte-l by the { owner Muld not le aooontitol for, f,r , 1 If a tree was worth planting.it would , sty*in that the owner would realise that it wo* worth preserving. Not only doe* the owner himself sometime* show an I astouiahiug diaraganl uf Ilia uitertwta of , the apple tree* by plowing through , the root*, aud breaking the tree* with ( the whiffletreee, but he looks eompla , cetitly ou while the hirel man do, s the same thing. Sometime* s man wtll be I careless of his own, so fsr n* his own . I conduct is iMßCerned, tmt wheu another does what he does, he is aroused to see the nature of his own misdemeanor, as j wtll as owe who is doing likewise, and , remonstrate. But soiue farmers appear ! to be utterly iudliferent a* to who I abuse* the trees of the orchard, or Iww , it is don*. They will suffer the prun i > itig to be done not alone tu a slovenly , , way, but iu au injurious wsy. The man i l* sent into the tree with rough, heavy , boots, and be rubs off the bark at every i step, and does more damage than any respectable pruning would compen sate for ; but the pruning is often not i respectable. It ia aitnply butchering. 1 If the liuilia get off, however, the owuer seems satisfied. I'hcn, perb.sjs, some beautiful look ing apple attract* hi* eye, or the eye of ; some ,<u* *l*l,, and he hurl* a alnb j among the branches or suffers some one , else to do it. l>u would b*J*d to sup , p,we that he thought the tree the rook of Gibraltar. It is uo wonder that a , tree treated iu any such manner fails to give its owuer sstisfactiou. A tree ia endowed with life, and the machinery of life. It ha* a circulation, , hiugs anil skiu, and these are snscepti- i bio of injury, and when injured must dtvreaae the* vitality of the tree, as the II vitality of the human lady is decreaotd i by disease. While the farmer in many instances no doubt thiuk* that our penologists are extravagant in their ,' ideas of tiie needs of the orchard iu the time they devote to it, it is not true, and very much benefit might be derived by alt of ns if we would strive to imitate them. There are difficulties In growing an orchard which are often dtsrxinrag i . ing. The varieties selected are often , unfit for the locality, and other things come up to dishearten, but it will pay to dad with them all, ami by pa tience and persevereiioe to have a good orchard ou the farm, and to take good care of it when it is grown a* well an while it is growing.— Krcham/r.

An American on Bismarck. Col. Forney say* Bismarck is a most fascinating person. Few can escape the magnetism of bis manner and his con versation. In his own house he yields unresistingly to domestic infhiuiices. But be iff eminently a public character. Nete.r conspicuous iu the street", for obvious reasons, and less so now than ever, he dominates the whole empire. He hates praise, and resents censure. He is a law unto himself and others. Wljilc the great European congress, ! called by himself, sat in Berlin, he was j its master and its president, lie asked lilfe for Germany, but he parcelled out ! the spoils toothers; something like Lear giving to his daughters his own king dom, and keeping nothing for himself; hnt with the great difference that Bis i marck gave what did not belong to him, and could always remind his gaesta that ' he hod saved them from war, and that he was strong enough -to keep tire- peace between them.

While looking at the eclipac of the snn Jnlv > UU, 1 handed the glass to one of tho mill " heaters." He st once tohl me ne oonld see as well with tlie naked eye as with the sm>>ked glass. I then tried another "heater "and lie at once re- | pealed the same statement. I then went to the rolling mill and tested ererv " heater "at his furnace. They all Udd the same story. I hunted np every " heater " in the town except two (who were DO! to be found), over twenty in all, and every oue declared he could see th* phenomenon, and all it* phase*, as well or better with the eye unshaded. I took the precaution to test each one by . himself, told him nothing of what I wt l>ected, or of the testimony of o ill era. I made no suggestions to any of tliem, bnt let each tell his own story. All told the same tale ; one jveculiarity *ll agreed to ' —the imago in tbe glass was upside down from what they saw with tbe I naked eye. They would describe many peculiarities o oolor which oonld not be seen by others with the aid of the gU*a. It should bo remembered that the • " heater" ha* to see his iron in the furnace while it ia enveloped in a flame whose intense glare prevents unskilled eye# from seeing anyUimg, an education of tbe eye peenltar to this clan* of work era, a* no other class of workmen is ex posed to tbe same .degree of heat or light. In aeoordance with your request, I repeated tho experiment of Ericsson and subjected a spherical pieee of iron eight inches iu uiametffT to a heat of over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit It wa* carried to an almost melting point, With drawn from tlie flame and placed on a Ktaud. It had tho appearance of a disk at all distances tried, up to over 100 feet. As seen by tho chief engineer of the mill, myself and others, it wa* per fectly flat. ' The convexity did uot ap poar ; it waa, while in thia state, to all apiiearanee no longer a sphere, but a disk. As tho iron cooled off it resumed ita original appearance of a sphere. The GCan't-get.away ('tab." The origin of the curiously named " Oan't-get-away Club "of Mobile may not bn generally known. In August, IHHO, the yellow fevor spread rapidly in Mobile, and all wlu> were able to do so hastily left the citv and went North. Only a remnant of tfie white population remained, and among then® tbe pesti lence raged. Physicians and nurses were few, anil the poor had almost no attendance At tin* jnnotore a dozen citizens met and diaciiSHed the condition of affairs. Money waa contributed, and one of the number proposed to organize a " visiting relief club." Thia waa done npon the spot; au.l whan it waa asked what tlie name of the clnb should be, a witty city editor replied: "All who i oould, have gonu away. We can't go ; therefore let the name be the " Can't get-away Club." Tlie name wa* adopt ed, work commenced at once, money wa* collected, and night and day these twelve meu ministered to the sick aud dying. A reorganization of the club took place at tbe close of the epideniia. It wa* designed solely for the relief of 1 those suffering from yellow fevsr. In 1848, when the fever wa* again epidetn : ic, the club waa greatly inoreaxd in . numbers, and labored with earneatues* ; { so also in sucoeeduig yeara wheu the pestilenoe raged This year they have worked for tlie relief of Memphis, | Grenada, Viclcaburg and other ptaoee. ,'j e) liX.q D Z'i.JZU bsoo Whether to treat to oyster stew and . enjoy a blissful hour with hia Duloinea or invoat the capital in winter under shirt*, is the problnm now agitating tbe brain of the young mau with small re aonrnea.
