The Conduct of Life.
Be it good that we do, let us do it,
diving rouI and our Htrength to the AeoH ;
Let uh pioroo the hard rock and pass through it.
And compass the thin;; that we nood.
Does Fato, as a dark cloud, hang over,
And cover our hoadu from tho light ?
Dees hate mark the heart of the lover V
Must wrong be tho victor of right ?
Yet In Fate there is freedom for each one
To make or to mar as ho will ;
And fie bolts of ill fortune that reach one
May malm, but they never Hhall kill.
Ever onward and upward pursuing
The aim that is thine for the day,
Adding strength to thy strength by thy doing,
Thou shalt gain it, nor faint by the way.
And though thuu art bunio.it with small things,
Though menial thy labor n.ay be,
Do thy utmost in that and iu all things,
Thou still shalt bo noble and free.
Dost thou love ? let it be with full measure ;
Nor mingle with colduess or hate
Of othors the Joy of thy pleasure,
The pair-icm that crowns thy estate.
Be to every mm Ju-t ; and to woman
Be gontle, and tender and true
For thlno own do thy bet ; but for no man
Do Iims than a brother should do.
Bo living thy days full to number,
In peace thou shalt piss to the grave ;
Thou shalt lie down aud reetthee,and slumber,
Beloved bv the good and the brave.
LOUIE'S SUCCESS.
"I cau't Bee whatever we will do with
heiV She's delicate, sickly little thing.
2 and hasn't either the strength or the de
Biro to earn her living as the rest of us
do eh, Louie ?"
Motherly old Mrs. Simmonds smiled
1 Blf approvingly, half indulgently down
iu the palo, wistful face of the girl who
s iiso quietly betide her, listening to the
conversation going on between Mr. Sim'
mauds nnd her guest Farmer Alwyn'B
wife, who Lad just run over with her
knitting for au afternoon's visit and to
".stay to teu."
; They were the very ideals of comforta
Lie," contented, well-to-do farmer's wiveB;
they were portly, ropy and bright-eyed
such a contrast, physically, to the bIuu,
"jlow, hollow-eyed girl who spoke never
a word unless specially addressed.
'.Her name was Louie llarland, and she
y had been-a member of the thrifty Sim-
nionda fuuiily for years ever eiiice a bit
ter ooiq JJeceniler day, thirteen years
ago, when a forlorn," halt-clothed baby
of tluoo ysiuM, she had come to the
kitchea door crying, shivering, and in
barely intelligible words t dd them sh
had lost "father," aud was so cold and
hungry.
Mrs. Simmonds' big. warm heart had
been stirrud to the very dopt'is by the
sight of tho forlorn little waif, and in
mingled indignation against the cruel
wretch who would permit such a baby to
become so ragged, suffering aud neg
leoted, and great, tender pity, took the
little one in, resolving to keep it in
warmth aud plenty until "father"
should search for it, and it had now
been fourteen years, and Louie llarland
had como to be almost regarded as a
genuine Simmonds. by father and moth
er and the half-dozen rosy, plump chil
dren who loved Louie so dearly.
For she was loveable. and although,
as Mrs. Simmonds tenderly declared, the
y child was fit for nothing not even com
petent to earn her salt, yet she was a
favorite with them all for her sweet,
gentle ways, and her patience and will
ingness to do what little she could.
Only Louie could not work. It seemed
to her that of all terrible things the
routine of housework was the most ter.
rible, and yet she never hesitated an in
stant to obediently perform whatever lay
within her power, however distasteful
the task was.
But there was one thing Louie loved
to do, one thing that made the Simmonds
girls and boys sometimes laugh, aud
sometimes cry, and sometimes feel awe
struck; ihat made farmer S mmonds
. , often lay down his pipe in rapt amazed
interest, that made Mrs. Simmonds wipe
her eyes and sob audibly and that was
when Louie would read aloud of winter
I evenings, or recite some exquisite poem
she had memorized, or render some
side-splitting morceau from some hu
morist. Then Louie would seem to lost her
identity. She would flush with excite
ment, and her fresh, sweetly-intoned
young voice would fairly vibrate with
the intensity of the enthusiasm ; her
fragile form would seem to dilate with
intensest interest; her dark, intelligent
eyes would shine with inspiration, or
melt with pathos or glow with humor,
and from farmer Simmonds down to little
Nell they all considered Louie's reading
a genuine treat'.
t Only that they never dreamed of ap-
-' predating it as they ought none of them
except William Dayton, Mrs. Simmouds
younger brother, who' would hang on
Louie's "enraptured words with interest
scarcely less intense thau her own.
. . He came gradually to care very much
for her ; until, one day, when she went
to him with all her heart in her big black
eyes, and told him, breathlessly, that
Mrs. Lecount, the great lady who was
staying at the hotel, had hoard her re
oitiug ono day when she was driving by,
and had instantly como iu. and had a
long, long talk with her, and the result
was she was to go back to Loudon with
her When William Dayton heard that
he knew for sure that he cared, very,
very much for Louie that she had com
pletely filled his heart, and that without
her life would lose very many, if not all,
its charms. Aud right then aud there
he told her how he loved her, how he
should miss her, and begged her to be
true in heart to him when she Bhould be
away among people who would no doubt
be more cougenial to her than her old
associates. And Louie had confessed
her love and promised to be true to him;
and not long after that she went away
from the quiet country side with Mrs.
Lecount, and although letters frequently
came saying she was well and happy,
and had found occupation that was easy
aud delightful to her, still the old farm
house seemed lonesome without her,
and William found it hard work to do
without seeing her thin, intelligent,
sillow face that to him was so fair and
lovely.
The late summer days went on, aud
winter followed, and another summer
came, and in all those weary days Louie
never came home, and good old Mrs.
Simmonds used to complain and fret
that Louie had forgotten thorn, that
Louie had found other friends to take
their places ; while only William Dayton
would not have it that the one
woman he loved was not true to her
pure instincts of gratitude and principle.
But even William, so loyal, loving, and
truo began to doubt at last when into
Louie's letters, dated here and there
aud everywhere, there began to appear
very often Claude Hamilton's name
never in a way that would have aroused
any jealousy, yet in a way that aroused
his wonder, his suspicion that perhaps
Louio had discovered she loved this
fancy-named fellow better than she did
himself.
Those were dark days for poor Wil
liam, lightened only by Louie's letters,
which were themselves not tho light
some messages it seemed to William
they should ha.vo been. At least, al
though they wore cheerful, hopeful aud
kindly affectionate, Btill, tly recurrence
of Claude Hamilton's namo spoiled all
else for William. .
With that fueling of suspicion against
this Mr. Hamilton, the feeling that was
s jjoar akin to jealousy of Louie, there
came to William another new source oi
trouble, and that was a dawni?, resi
les discontent that he did not under
stand the nature of Louie's business.
She had kept it secret from them all
at the farm, merrily promising to let
tlfc m know when her future prospects of
fame and success were assured beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
Oa that brave, loving promise William
hal heretofore quietly rested until
gradually the demon of jealousy crept
in among his true love for Louio; until
his heart, torn by the never-failiug men
tion, iu some way or other, of Claudof
Hamilton's namo, William could no
longer endure it, and then upon receipt
of a letter from Louie, saying that her
next would be from London, where she
wouti remain a fortnight, William made
np his mind to be iu London for thtd.
same fortnight, and devote all Ms tire
less energies to finding the girl he loved,
and who so persistently kept herself
from him.
And so, one stormy night iu early Au
tumn, it happened that William Dayton
was led to Stein Hall, where huge pla
cards announced the appeararance of
some popular daaroatio reader, whose
name he did not Bee for the crowds that
were passing iu with him: and he took
his seat with a strangely homesick, lone
some feeling coming over him as he re
alized with a new keen appreciation the
magnitude of the undertaking that had
brought him to the city with ita thou
sands and tens of thousands of people
who had never as much as heard pf Louie
Harland's, name.
Or Claud Hamilton's either, he
thought, with a thrill of fierce jealous
rage. Claud Hamilton, fr whom he
feared, Louie was gradually playing him
false, whom
And just then the enthusiastic ap
plause of the vast crowd made him look
up to see whom they were welcoming
with such warm, glad greeting made
him look up to see a slight girlish figure
stauding iuthe center of the stage; a
stylishly dressed, elegantly-looking lady
in trailing black silk, heavy and lustrous,
with frills of exquisite lace falling over
her white-kidded handtf and braceleted
arms, with a ruff of the same flimsy
suowiuess circling her slender, rouud
throat, where a ruussive gold pin caught
it in rich pluiuuess of elegance.
A girl with a rarely intelligent face,
and dark, intense eyes; with a pure, pale
complexion to which all tho storm of ap
plause brought no flush of gratified
vanity, with a grave, expressive mouth
that made William Dayton, almost un
able to resist the temptation he felt, to
rush to her and ask her if Claud Hamil
ton had defiled it with his love kisses.
For it was Louie llarland Louio, who,
had risen like a star in her profession of
dramatic reading Louie, who had
crowded houses when she appeared, and
who was coining a fortune as fast ns a
pair of woman's hands had ever done.
Then she commenced one of the very
ballads she had many a time rendered
for them at the old farm-house, when
Mrs. Simmonds would wipe her eyes,
aud old farmer Simmonds forget to draw
on his pipe until it went out.
And William listened, and tho vast
audience listened, spellbound, to the
sweet, pathetic voice, round and full, as
a silver boll. Then followed an uproari
ous encore; then other recitations and
other applause, aud then it was over,
and William saw her retire off the stage,
and it seemed to him that he had sud
denly gone into a dark place.
It was easy enough to obtain Miss
Harland's address everybody knew it,
and bo the next morning he was shown
to Miss Harland's parlor, where Louie
herself Bat, alone, with her little writing
desk before her, at which she was busy
when he was shown in, taking her so
completely by surprise.
She arose instantly to greet him, her
face flushing warmly enough at sight of
him. and even ns she came aoross the
floor and he saw the glow on her cheeks,
he found himself asking himself if it
were joy at seeing him or consciousness
of disloyalty to him that occasioned it,
At all events her words were kind and
eager.
"Willi Is it possible? Dear, old
Will, how glad I am to see you I"
And in Bpite of all his fear and doubt
William took her in his arms and kissed
her. .
"I was starving to see you, my dar
ling. I could not livo without you any
longer. Louie l so this is the mysteri
ous secret you have been keeping from
up, from me I"
She looked bravely, proudly in his
face.
" You speak almost reproachfully,
Will ! Can you find it iu your heart to
censure me because I wented to wait
until I could come, an honor and a help
to you all ? Will, don't look at me bo
what is the harm in it?"
" There is no harm in it, Louie. No
one is prouder of you and your grand
Buccesa that I if it hasn't turned your
heart from me. Louie ! Louie ! if you
knew how your letters have stabbed me,
if you only knew tho anguish, the fear,
am! the tormenting doubts that have
driven me to you not able to endure
them."
Louie's eyes were perfect revelations
of amazement.
"Will! My letters ! Your doubt
and fear 1 Will, your doubt and fear of
me?"
"Of you, Louio 1
your frequent, yes,
mention of Claud
I could not bear
ooutinual, ceaseless
Hamilton's name ;
Louie, I feared you were learning to
love him, and that I would be for
gotten." His voice was on honest index of his
feelings. It was intense, earnest, so
eagerly anguishful that it touched Louie
very tenderly.
" Will, how could you ? Oh, Will 1"
Then half smiling, with a suspicion of
tears in her eyes, aud a look that was
equally reproachful and amused, Louio
rang her bell, and gave a message iu an
undertone to the servant that answered.
Then she turned to William again.
"So you have been jealous of Mr.
Hamilton, Will ? Wait a moment, for I
want to tell you something. Mr. Ham
ilton is one of the dearest friends I ever
had. no has been good to me, Will, oh,
so good ! Always ho will come first on
the list of ray friends ; always "
She was interrupted by some one rap
ping on the door, then enteriug uusum
mouod. A little flush of mischievous
excitement, accompanied by that same
look of reproof, was iu her eyes as a lit
tle old gentleman, with a pleasant placid
lace came in, with spectacles on his
eyes, and a head bald and shiny, a little
old gentleman as ugly as" well could be
imagined, but such a courteous, high
bred gentlemau, for all that, it was
in itT
fest at a glance.
" I sent to have you meet Mr. Day Ion,
Mr. Hamilton. Gentlemen, allow me to
introduce you Mr. Hamilton, my dear
adviser and business agent aud kindest
of friends; Mr. Dayton, my lover is it,
Will?"
William was so perfectly happy, aud
when he and Louie rau down to the farm
for a britf visit, there occurred a hasty,
happy wedding-time, aud Mr. Dayton
constituted himself adviser and a;;ent
of his lovely, talented, popular wife.
" Because there's no telling how the
land Hamilton jealousy might have
ended if he had happened to be young,
handsome, fascinating, and unmarried."
Louie laughingly made answer
" Will, you are the most jealous man
iu existence."
Slio lifted her sweet face to her hus
band's, nnd, as he kissed her, he said:
"Because I am the most loving.
There can be no love without jealousy
but I'll never doubt you again, dearest."

" The Admirable Crkhton." I
James Crichton wb a human prodigy.
Before reaching his twentieth year, he
had run throughthe wholo circlo of the;
sciences, and was a master of ten lan
guages, which, from his vast memory,
were as familiar to him as his mother
tongue. Nor was his fame confined
merely to literary excellence ; beseemed
to combine the most discordant qualities,
and was without a rival in all corporeal
exercises. It is reported of him, that in
fencing, he could spring at one bound
the length of twenty feet on hi a antago
nist, and could use tho Bword in both
hands with equal dexterity. He had also
a fine voice, and great skill in playing on
musical instruments. His person and
countenanco were alike eminently beau
tiful, which served to set off his accom
plishments; for even virtue never fails to
be still more acceptable in a graceful
form. For the victory he gained on the
4th of February, 1579, over the learned
men of the University of Paris, ho had
conferred upon him the title of "Ad
mirable." The very next day he attended
a tilting match at the Louvre, where, in
the presence of the Court of France, he
bore away the ring fifteen times suc
cessively. The last adventure in which
he was engaged, displayed his extraor-
d nary spirit and skill in feats of arms.
Roving about the streets of Mantua one
night during the carnival, and playing
on the guitar, he was attacked by six
men in masks. Hit. courage did not de
sert him on this critical occasion ; he op
posed them so stoutly that they were
glad to fly ; aud their leader being dis
armed, threw off his mask, and begged
for his life. How must it have wounded
the sensibility of Crichton to discover in
the suppliant Vincentio di Gonzaga, the
son of tho Duke of Mantu, whose pre
centor he had been chosen. Iustead of
merely granting the forfeited life, which
was all that ought tohavebeen required,
he fell ou his knees, apologized for his
mistake, and presenting his sword to the
prince, told him that his highuess was
always master of his poor existence, and
needed not to have sought his death by
treachery. The brutal prince, either
irritated by the affront which he had re
ceived, or stung with jealousy, grasped
the proffered instrument of destruction
aud plunged it into his tutor's heart.
Remarkable Lakes.
On the top of a ridge of mountains in
Portugal, called Estralia, ore two lakes
of great extent and depth, especially one
of them, which is said to bo unfathom
able. What is chiefly remarkable in
them is that they are calm when the sea
is so, and rough when that js stormy. It
is therefore probable that they have a sub
terranean communication with the ocean;
and this seems to ba confirmed by the
pieces of ships that they throw up,
though almost forty miles distant from
the Bea. There is another extraordinary
lake in this country, which, before a
storm, is said to make a frightful rumb
ling noise, that may be heard at a dis
teuco of several miles. And we are also
told of a pool or fouutaiu, called " Fer
vencias," and twenty miles from Coim
bra, that absorbs not only wood, but the
lightest bodies thrown into it. such as
cork, straw, feathers, eta, which sink to
the bottom and are never seen more. To
these we add a remarkable spring near
Entremos, which petrifies wood, or
rather encrusts it with a case of stone;
but the most remarkable circumstance
is, that in summer it throws up water
enough to turn several mills, and iu win
ter it is perfectly dry.

Baked Macaroni. Uso about half a
pound of macaroni, break up iu pieces,
put it iu-boiling water and stew gently
for twenty minutes; salt it a little; drain
well; have ready a buttered pudding
dish; place a layer ol tho macaroni in
the bottom, then cover with grated
cheese and a few lumps of butter; then
i ! t

cheese and butter until all is used up;
add a wineglass of cream or milk; bake
covered for half an hour ; then re
move the cover and brown nicely; serve
it in the bako-dish.
To noin A Turkey. A delicate hen
turkey should, always be selected for
boiling. Pick aud draw it, taking great
care not to break the gall-bladder; when
it is singed, cut through tho skin rouud
tho first joint of the legs, and draw
them out by fastening the feet to a
strong hook and then pulling the bird
away from it; tako off tho head nnd
neck, wash it cl-.au, and wipe it dry; fill
the breast with veal stuffing; in trussing
it, draw the legs with the body, break
the breastbone, and give the turkey as
plump an appearance as you can; put
it into plenty of hot water and boil it
very gently for about two hours; served
either with celery sauce or a good white
sauce.
Dried Apple Cake. Soak three cup
fuls dried apples over night, then draw
off the water through n sieve; chop the
apples slightly, then simmer them in
'three cupfuls of molasses for two hours;
after that add two eggs, one cupful
sugar, one cupful sweet milk or water,
three-quarters cupful butter or lard, one
teaspoonful baking powder, flour enough
to make pretty stiff batter; add cinna
mon, cloves to taste.
Graham Bread. Three pints of gra

with a spoon.
IiidicutiunM or a toad Iluiier Vow.
It is said that the color of the inside
of tho cow's ear 'affords uu infallible
guide to tho selection of a good butter
cow. If the skin ion the inside of the
ear is of a rich yellow or orange color
and the lining of the ear is covered with
an oily secretion, the cow will be sure to
give a good duality of milk, rich in
butter.
Cows that produce a high-colored but
ter have a large amount of the secretion,
tho inside of the ear being of flu orange
tint. On the other hand, light-col no 1
butter makers present a scanty, tLin,
pale yellow secretion, in some cases
found only at the bottom of the ear,
while the inside lining is of a corre
spondingly pale, undefiued color.
Every male of the bovine family has the
power of secreting a certain amount of
this oily matter. If tho quantity be
normally large, secretion will tako placo
freely in the mammary glands, the ear
and tho skin. As the test is simple and
costs nothing, it cannot fail to prove
a useful auxiliary to tho dairyman and
farmer in their selection of rich milkers.

. Au American iu Distress.
One. rarely sees a fellow-countryman
in distress in Paris, writes Edward King
in the Boston Journal, but I did meet
one day beforo yesterday. He came up
time on the Rue Scribe, where if you
are not an Amerieau you are supposed to
be, as nearly every office on it is in some
way connected with Yankee trade, and
observing me sharply, he said :
" Arc you an American ?"
I proudly acknowledged that I wos a
citizen of the republic.
"Wul," he said, "can you toll mo
where I con get' some chewin' tobacco?"
I s.iid no, of course ; no ono t hews in
France didn't know personally any
American resident who "chawed."
" Wul," he said, sadly, ' it's nil very
well for them that don't chew ; but I've
got to have sjme ; can't live w ithout it."
; Aud he stepped out with determined air,
looking t'jr another American to whom
he could put his despuiiiivj question.
"News as is News."
American people must go to the other
side of the Athuitio to hear news of
home. Here, for instance, is the Indv
pv.ndanv.ti Jht'e informing a puzzled
Wui-ld that Mr. llaudall has renounced
the speakership "and the President
will probably be re-elected." If for
" has reuouueed " wo road "has been
renominated." aud then read that it is
I likely that the Speaker will be re-elected,

Words of Wisdom.
Conversation is the ventilation of tho
mind.
Humility makes all other graces amia
ble. It is easy finding reason why ether
folks should be patient.
There arc some persons on whorr their
faults sit well, and others who are made
ungraceful by their good qualities.
Tl.ippiucss is in ta'ste, nnd not in
things; and it is by having what we love
that wo are happy, not by having what
others find agreeable.
The bird of wisdom Hies knrtand
seeks his
food under hedge?; the eagle
himself would be starved if he always
soared nlolt and against the bud.
Pride dries the tears of anger and
vexation; humility those of grief. The
one is indignant that wo should suffer;
the other claims us by the reminder that
we deserve nothing else.
Emulation is a handsome passion; it is
enterprising, but just withal. It keeps
a man within the terras of honor aud
makes the contest for glory just aud
generous. He strives to excel, but it is
by laising himself, not by depressing
others.
We cannot bo held to what is beyond
our strength and mconp, for at times the
accomplishment and execution may not
be in our power; and, indeed, there is
nothing really in our power, except tho
will; on this are necessarily based and
founded all the principles that regulate
the duty of mau.
A good character is in all cases the
fruit of personal exertion. It is not
created by external advantages; it is no
necessary appendage to birth, wealth,
talents or station; but it is the result of
one's own endeavors, the fruit and re
ward of good principles manifested in a
course of virtuous and honorable ac
tions.
Manners are the happy woys of doing
things; each ono a stroke of gemus or oi
love, now repeated and hardened into
usnge, they form at last a rich varnish,
with the routine of life washed, anil its
details adorned. If they are superficial,
bo nre the dew-drops which give such a
depth to the morning me.idovvs.
A Way They Have.
' ' How many thumbs ?" smilingly asks
the sitting-room carpet, looking up at
its colleague, tho battered stove-pipe.
Wifh a wink iu its disjointed elbow the
stove pipe, riveting its gur.eon its friend,
replies: "Only three, but I've raked
enough skin off tho other knuckles to
make a pair of boots." Chuckling re
sponds the carpet : ' ' Not so well ns you
did last year. I got n couple of finger
nails, two wholo trousers' knees, started
a good crop of hang-nails on every finger
in the house, nnd I think I have a di
vorce suit pending." "That's a pretty
good spread," replies the pipe, and then,
turning to an exhausted tack-hammer
thr.t was resting itself ou the window
bill, asked: "How is your score?"
" Oh, don't ask me," gasped tho tack
hammer. " I've been busier than the
master's gavel on a chapter night. I
haven't missed but one kuucklo sinco I
started in, and then I caught the ball of
a thumb plumb centre, and raised a
blood blister as big as a walunt." And
the graceless trio smiled in silent chorus
and an old, rheumatic mop that wbh
standing on the porch listenicg to the
conversation through the keyhole,
pumped itself against the door in an ,
ec:.tiey of delight and fell fiuuting across
the.wheelbarrow with one leg that was
waiting on tho walk for somebody to'

The Growth of a Dead Man's Hair.
Dr. Caldwell, of Iowa, says that iu 1862
he was present at the examination of a
body which had been buried two years
before. The cofliu had sprung open at
tho joints, and the hair protrudoU
through the opeuiugs.
On opening the
coilin the iiiur oi cue
head was found
to measure eighteen
inches and the
whiskers eight inches.
The man had
be. u shaved beforo being buried. Iu
IU 17 a similar circumstance occurred in
Mercer county, Pennsylvania. Iu dig
gin' a grave tho workmen cume across
tho skeleton of a mau that had been
' buried ten years. The hair was as firm
