I MOTHER'S WAV.
0ft wiliin our little oottage,
As Ike shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One tweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together,
AsaLjn bushed and tender tone,
Ask each other's full forgireness
For the wrong that each has done.
ShoaK yoa wonder why this custom
At the ending of the day,
Eye and voioe would quickly answer,
"It jia onoe our mother's way I"
If our home be bright and cheery,
If It bold a welcome true,
Opening .ide its door of greeting
To the many, not the few t
If we sUre our Father's bounty
With t.e needy, day by day,
.'Tis beeaui. our hearts remember
This was rer mother's way.
Sometimes, wben our hands grow weary,
Or oik taik leerni Tory long i
When our burden look too beery.
And we deea tin right all wrong ;
Then we gain a new frtib courage,
Ai we riie to proudly lay j
"Let ui do our duty bravely.
This wu our dear mother! way."
Thui we keep her memory precioai.
While we never eease to pray
That, at lait, when lengthening ihadowi
Mark the eveoing of lift'i day,
Tbry may find ui waiting calmly,
To go homo our mothvr'i way.
The Laughing Plant,-
Tho London Garden copioi from
Palgrave'i work on Central and Kuet-
orn Arabia, an account ol a plant
whose goedt produce effects similar to
those of laughing gits. It is a native
of Arabia. A dwarf variety of it la
found at Kaaoiin. and another variety
at Oman, which attains to a height of
from throe to lour toot, with woody
stems, widosprcading branches, and
bright greon loliago. Its flowers are
produced in clusters, and are of a bright
yellow color. The sood pods are soft
and woolly in texture, and contain
two or three black (cods, of tho size
and shape of a'Froncb bean. Their
flavor is a little hue that ol opium, ana
taste is sweet; the odor from them
produces a sickening sensation and is
slightly offensive These soods con
tain mo essential property ui iiim ex
traordinary plant, and, whan pulver
ised and tukon in small doses, operate
upon a person in a most poculiar man
ner, llo bogins to laugh loudly, bois
terously; thon ho sing, dances, and
cuts all kind of fantastic capers. Sueh
extravagance of gesture and mitnnor
was never produced by any other kind
of dosing. The cll'ott continues about
an hoar, and tho patient is uproariously
nautical. Whon the excitement ccasos,
lliu oxtiauatoa oxl.ibilnw folia inln e
eop sleep, which continues for an
bour or more; and when be awakens,
ho is utterly unconscious that any
such demonstrations havo boon en
acted by him. Wo usually say that
there is nothing now under the sun;
but this .pocdliar plant, rocently dis
covered, as it exercises the most ex
traordinary innuonco over tho human
brain, demands from men of scionco a
earoful Investigation.
A Contented Man,
A poncclly contented man was
found in California on what is callod
the Peninsula, near San Diogo, by a
parly of hunters on SuBday morning.
lie was breaking wood, not chopping,
for ho tad no ax. Tho man had vory
fow cUthos on, and was working be
side a smouldering fire. The hunters
acoostcd him, but he paid no altontlon
to thorn and continuod broakingwood
with bit hands. Toward evening they
relumed, and found this singular be
ingslilldiligon'.ly at work. One of the
party oBkod him if bo would not fare
better fitl) an axe, and suggested tunt
be would sond him ono. The wood
man replied : "Axo what's an axe f
No, diti't want an axo." He was
thon a-kod if bo got anything for his
woodf ("Anything; what is anything?"
"Money" was mentioned. "Money 1

him komothing to eat. llo Brook- his
hoad. I The one proflorod tho nearly
naked man bis huntinir coat. llo
again ihook his head. As his fire was
out so lie matches wore tondored him,
but lit had no use for matches and
would not rocoivo one. In ordor to
rid himself of thoso charitablo impor
tunities he told the parly that ho had
every tiling he wanted, and be did not
desire even conversation or company.
llioy took tho bint and walked away.
The San Diogo peoplo want this happy
man lookod atlor. lliey wish to put
him In misery by bringing him into a
town, clotbinir him. stuffinir him, and
putting an axe in his bands, pone of
wiitcn things no requires, being con
tented as he is.
Greasing Axles,
Atuny a whool is ruined by oilinc,
too plentifully. A well mado wh'ee

but li the matter is not attendod to,
tho Whool will bo used up in fivo or six

To grease the axlo-lroo, first wipa the

How Nutmegs Grow,
An old whnlor tells in tho Amoclcan
Grocer, all about nutmegs. The spice,
so much used in every family, is Indi
genous to tho Moluccas, reaching Its
f-reatest perfection in Amboyna. This
aland belongs to tho Dutch, who do
not permit the cultivation of the nut
meg in the' olhor islands under their
control. Tho nutmeg troo is twentv-
five or thirty foot high when fully
grown, with loliago ot a neb, dark
groen, and very plentiful. It reaches
maturity, or full productiveness, at

The Sanborn Reports
The Committee of Ways and Means
have submitted a loncthy report on tho
subjoct of tho Sanborn contracts and
tho evils growing out of the system in
augurated thoreundor. It is more
gonoral and swooping in its denuncia
tion of tbo system and tho parties eo
gngod in it than was to have been ex
pected in viewof the composition of tho
Committee and the long prevailing
custom of whitewashing prominent
Federal ofiloiala iie . would seem

day they becomo more glaring in thoir
corruptions and more dofiant to tbo
publio complaints, until it has becomo
impossible for a commitlco of Congress
to whitewash them any longer.
Of co u l-so, tbo rebuke is put in as
mild a form as the naturo of the case
will allow, but it is still a slinging in
dictment. Whilo it doos not charge
that Richardson, and Sawyer, and
BanfieUI, had an actual corrupt con
nection with Sanborn in his transac
tions, it declares that they dosorve tbo
soverost condemnation for their con
tradictory statements, for their efforts
to throw tho responsibility upon each

businoss to bo carried on with a full
understanding of its character.

In southwestern Toxas there is a

the possessor of a wife, two or three
guns, a lew dogs and two or three
horses. ' He kept watch of his cows
and lived in a hand-to-mouth way for
several years, subsisting bis family by
the capture or game and sale ot skins.
In May 1873 be owned thirty thou

pantry ia a flour barrel almost full of
silver pieces. AVhon he sells catllo it
is for coin which is dumped on the
premises. He will not take paper
monoy at any rate, but is always ready
to sell steers for gold or silver.
