Around the porch how lovingly the rich, red roses
cling.
How sweetly 'mid the orchard trees, the birds in
concert sing.
You picture the fond husband, and the fair and
gentle wife,
Hut do you boast a magic glass to view their Inner
life;
If storms of angry strife assail that scene of light
and bloom,
Vain is its sylvan beauty 'tis the iwf that makes
the Home.
Anon we Journey on our way, the air blows fresh
and free,
Yon goodly dwelling looks upon the deep and
boundless sea ;
Well must Its owners love you say, the votive waves
to greet.
That cast bright sea weeds and gay shells as trib

Hut, have they gifts of purer kind, of nobler, better
worth?
Does true affection, bring its stores to cheer the
social hearth?
If not, their eyes In languor o'er the wondrous sea
may roam,
Unhccdful of its glory 'tis the heart that makes

The owners of that stately hall, that now attracts

'Tis but a fair dissolving view that morn will soon

Yes, soon the music will he hushed, the guests will

Then, when the household group remains, 'mid
dying lamps and flowers,
Will they, with fevered restlessness, recall those
festal hours,
Each, reading in the other's eyes a tale of weary
gloom,
If so, their gold is worthless 'tis the heart that

Come, I will show you happy homes amid the city's

Discord and strife may reign without, but love
abides within;
They are not graced with works of art, rare (low

Yet, they are rich in pleasant thoughts, kind smiles
and gentle words;
Perchance their inmates may depart, another home

Y'et, will they east no longing glance on that they

" "T TELL you, sir, that
truth
JL stranger than fiction."
" Yes'!1" said I, with a studied effort to
play the agreeable to the new comer.
Wo were setting nt a plain but well
spread table in the kitchen of a Western
farm-house. Everything was on a gener-
ous scale, from the rolling prairie with its
billowy reaches, down to the hay-stacks
nnd the big wood-pile near the door.
Within the house the same ample greeting
was prominent. Hence we were in ex
cellent spirits us wo sat down to the
smoking hot supper. Mr. Felderkin with
his two boys waited for no ceremony, and
I followed their example in blunting my
keen appetite with savory morsels. Two
buxom daughters wero bustling around
tho kitchen and replenishing tho table,
while their vigorous mother, with hospi
tality shining nil over her red face, was
watching with care, lest we should for a
moment seo tho bottom of cup or
plate.
We had nearly eaten our way through
to victory, and some of us had rushed
back to rest on our laurels nnd to ogle the
damsels, when tho door opened, and in
stepped a man of medium stature, red
cheeks, long reddish hair, intelligent face
and about 45 years of age.
liow are you, David ? stud our host,
id
turning to me, exclaimed in his
heurty tones. " Stranger, this arc Mr.
Spencer, the sickest in tin that God ever
made. Now, Dtivc, tell the yankco sonic
of your great moral truths "
Thus introduced nnd challenged, Spcn
cev gazed solemnly into my face, nnd, wee
ing expectation there depicted, ho uttered
I tho original phrase with which this sketch
begins. 1 had been so often quizzed, as a
youth from New England, that I hardly
knew what to expect, and therefore waited
fur spencer to proceed.
At this stage, Mrs F., in the kindness
of her henrt, poured out a bowl of milk
nnd offered to tho new comer. He took it
in silence, swallowed it nt a single gulp,
set down the crockery with a shun, and
sinking into a chair, appeared to be griped
with a terrible pain. " l'erhnps you
would rather have had water," said the
hostess timidly. " Well inarm, drinking
milk is about like taking pills to mc, but
it's no consequence, now its down," rc
blied the gloomy ninn.
Thinking to relieve the good lady's
confusion 1 asked Mr. Spencer if he had
recently been ill. f lad my query been a
patent corkscrew, and Mr. Spencer a re
sistless bottle of champagne, tho explo
sion could not h.ivc been more immediate.
" 111, sir! ill! That little word is too
short, sir. Ill ! You see nothing, sir,
but my remains. I have been David
Spencer. Now, sir, I may say, without
intending disrespect to my wife, I am the
reucoi iiio late u. a. jict me give you,
stranger, in a few words, a sketch of my
troubles.
"My lungs are badly cut up. One

plagues mc with an old trick. It turns
inside out and wanders over my system.
I suppese stranger, that the greater part
of my liver is inside of those boots,"
thrusting out his two cowhides from under
tho table.
" But I have another curious disease.
Some of the doctors say it's paralysis,
but one medicine man calls it intermittent

just grabs me and shuts me right up all
over. Can t stir a muscle ; teeth all

" You look as if you wanted to laugh,

They don't reckon that I make it any joke

cord. It gives mo no warniug, but tho
first thing I know it gives away and
pitches mo right over, head first, into
whatever lies in front. Now, ono day
last spring, just as I was getting over
the lock jaw, I rode out on the prairie
across by tho sloo, and 1 saw a big stone
in tho road, and got out to push it over.
Then I went to the sloo to wash my
hands. As I bent forward, my shaky
old spino let right go, and I dove head
first into tho mud, nnd there I stuck,
head under and feet thrashing on tho
bank. I had to stay there till ono of my
men, passing by, took mo by the heel and
pulled me out."
" liow long should you think you were
under water, Mr. Spencer '(" asked one of
the Felderkin boys.
" lieally, 1 couldu t s:iy exactly, as I
couldn't rcadly get nt my watch, but it
was uigh on to a half an hour, and I will
confess, gentlemen, that I never was so
hard put to it for breath in my
life."
" But, Sir. Spencer don't you take any
medicine for your troubles ?"
" Medicine ! Oh, yes ! Why, sir, I've
taken in one dose a hunk of blue pill as
big as a baby's fist, and I've swallowed a
whole apothecary shop except the bottles
nnd corks. And I tried hydropathy;
went to a Chicago doctor and got a pre
scription for boiling water so it wouldn't
scald me; filled a half hogshead and got
in ; was scrubbed and rubbed, and scra
ped with an old iron candlestick to open
my pores Then I got to bed, and pres
ently I begnu to sweat. I sweat through
tho feather bed, and through tho straw
bed, and through the sacking, down on
to tho floor of tho room in a stream to
the door-sill, and out through a crack
under tho door into tho street. Said
I to Hannah, (that's my wife,) 1 Hannah,
I can't stand this ; I won't be drowned in
my own bed.' So I got up nnd dressed
mc, nnd put on my hat to go out. It
was a old dny in January. As I opened
tho door I noticed the rain-drops falling
last on my clothes. Said I, 'Hannah,
whatn suddeu shower !' 4 Why, husband,
it don't rain,' she said, Gentlemen, it
was nothing but the perspiration stream
ing oil' my forehead !
How They Dined.
SHORTLY
Britain, n
after the war with Great
tleman built a residence in the vicinity of
Fort George, on the Niagara frontier. and
in accordance with tho old country idea
of excltisivcncss, he inclosed his grounds
with a high hoard fence. Hero ho lived
like an old English gentleman, so that
none of the elite of the officers of the
neighboring garrison were permitted to
pass ins gates, lhcro was a very good
understanding between the American of
ficers at Fort Niagara nnd the British of
ficers at Fort George, nnd the men wero
permitted occasionally to visit back and
forth. Among tho American soldiers was
a queer chap, who stuttered terribly, and
was always getting into mischief.
One day this chap took a small boat
that lay moored at the foot of tho walls
of the fort, and crossed over tho Canada
shore t) have a hunt. He wandered over
several miles in the rear of Fort George,
without meeting any game, and on his
return, seeing a crow within tho enclo
sure of the aristocratic Englishman, he
scaled the fence and brought down his
gamo. The Colonel witnessed tho trans
action, nnd advanced while the soldier
was reloading. He was very angry but
seeing the Yankee standing with a loaded
gun in his hands he gulped down his an
ger for a moment and merely asked him if
he had killed tho crow.
" I am sorry," said the Colonel, " for
he was a pet. By the way, that is a very
pretty gun ; will you be so kind as to let
mc look at it ?"
The soldier complied with his request.
The other took the gun and stepped back
a few paces, nnd then broke into a tirade
of abuse, concluding with an order to
stoop down and take a bite of the crow
or lie would blow his brains out.
The soldier explained, apologized and
entreated. The colonel kept his finger
on the trigger, and sternly repeated his
command.
There was shoot in the En;
lishman's
and the
eye ; there was no help tor it,
stuttering soldier st ioped down and took
a bite ot tue crow, but swallow it lie
could not. Up came his breakfast, and
it appeared as if he would throw up his
toe-nails. The Englishman gloated over
the misery of his victim, and smiled com
placently at every additional heave.
When he got through vomiting and wi
ping his eyes, the Colonel handed him
his gun, with the remark : " Now, ras
cal that will teach you how to poach on a
gentleman's enclosure."
The Yankee soldier took his gun, and
tho Colonel might have seen the devil in
his eye if he had looked close. Stepping
back he took deliberate aim at tho heart
of his host and ordered him instantly to
finish the crow. Expostulations, prayers
and entreaties were useless. There was
shoot in Yankee's eye then. There was
no help nt hand and he took a bite of tho
crow. One bite was enough to send all
the good dinner he had lately eaten on
the same journey with tho garrison fare
of the soldier, and while the Englishman
was in the agony of sickness, .Jonathan
escaped to the American shore. The
next morning the commander of Niagara
was sitting in his quarters, and Col. j-,
was announced " Sir," said he, ' I come
to demand the punishment of one of
your men. who yesterday eutercd my
premises and committed a great outrage."
" We have three hundred men here,
and it would be difficult for mo to know
who you mean," said the officer.
The Englishman described him as a
long, dangling, stoop shouldered, stut
tering devil.
" Ah, I know who you mean
said the
officer,
etting into trouble.
Orderly, call Tom."
In a few minutes Tom entered, and
stood straight as his natural build would
allow, while not a trace of emotion was
visible in his countenance.
" Tom," said tho officer, " do you know
this gentleman ?
" Ye-yo-ye-yo-yes sir,"
li Where did you see him before ?" .
" I d-d-dinod with him yesterday."
It is needless to say that the joke was
against tho Englishman, aud that Tom
escaped punishment."

a single house had a pump. At nil hours
of tho day, but chiefly before breakfast
and before ten-time, little feet and great,
often unshod, but very active, might bo
seen passing along a narrow lane, with
every kind of pitcher, kettle, and can,
to a fresh-water well. Not a very trust
worthy lricnd, after all, was the village
well. " Is this well ever dry?'' I inquired,
" Dry ? Yes, ma'am ; very often in hot
weather."
" And if the spring dries up ?"
"Why then we go to the well higher
up the best water of all !"
" But if the well higher up fails?"
" Why, ma'am that well never dries
up-i-nevcr. It is always tho same sum
mer nnd winter."
" I went to sec this precious well which
" never dries up." The water was clear
and sparkling, coining down from the
high hills not with torrent leap and
roar, but with the steady flow nnd soft
murmur of fulness and freedom. It
flowed down to the highway-side. It
was within reach of every child's little
pitcher. It was enough for every empty
vessel. The small birds came down
thither to drink. The ewes and lambs
had trodden down a little path to its
brink. Th6 thirsty beasts of burden,
along the dusty road, knew the way (as
I could sec by their tracks) to tho well
that " never dries up."
It reminded mc of tho water of life and
salvation flowing from the " Hock of
A ges," and brought within reach of all
men by the Gospel of Christ. Every
other brook may grow dry in the days of
drought and adversity, but this heavenly
spring never ceases to flow.
Let us all hasten with hearts nthirst to
the heavenly well "which never dries
up."
Good Xaf lire at Home
No trait of character is more valuable
iu a wife than the possession of a sweet
temper. Home can never be made happy
without it. It is like tho flowers that
spring up in our pathway, reviving and
cheering us. Let a man go home at night,
wearied and worn out by the toils of the
day, and how soothing is a word dictated
by a sweet disposition ! It is sunshine
falling on his heart. He is happy, and
tho cares of life are forgotten. A sweet
temper has a soothing influence over the
mind of the whole family. When it is
found in the wife and mother, you ob
servo kindness aud love predominating
over the natural feelings of a bad heart.
Smiles, kind words and looks characterize
the children, and peace and love have
their dwelling here. Study then to
acquire and retain a sweet temper. It
is more valuable than gold. It captivates
more than beauty, and to the cud of life
retains all its freshness and power.
