ULY 22, 12 '"M.M.11.111.111111‘1" THE HURON EXPOSITOR a VENOM Our Whippingts. Come, Harvey, let us It awhile and talk shout the times Before you went to selling clothes and I to peddling rhymes ; The days when we were little boys, as naughty little boys As ever worried home folks with their everlasting noise t Egad if we were so disposed, I'll venture we could show The scars a wallopings we get gene forty years ago ; What wallopings I mean I think I need not specify. Mother's whippings didn't hurt, but father's! ok, my The way that we played hooksy those many years ogee We'd rattler give 'most anything than have our children know!

But father, having been a boy, appeared to under- stand. And, after tea, he'd beekon us ti jein him in the shed, Where he'd proceed to tinge our backs a deeper, darker red; Say what we will of mothers, there is none will con- trovert The proposition that our father'e lickinp always hurt I UFE. At Rehm With His Dogs, His Guests aad His Family. But let me tell you something about his habits here at Friedricharuhe. They are singularly simple now, _considering the greatness of his past. He takes more care of himself, I am told, as lie grows older and sleeps later in the morning. Ills rising hour is between 9.30 and 10 o'clock, and he has a cup of strong black coife.e, some rolls and eggs when he gets up, He reads the morning papers as he eats and afterwards looks over such of his mail as his private secretary has ready for him. His second breakfast is taken about 1L30 and this usually consists of a, small steak or a chop, with a bottle of light Rhine wine., After this breakfast at about 12.30 he starts out for a walk and he spends a half an hour in wandering or rather strolling about hisostate. During this walk he often drops in at the restaurant and drinks a, glass of beer, and sometimes, so I was told at the restaurant, takes a second glass lin his hand and carries it home with him. In his walks and, at all times in fact, he is accompanied by his dogs. These are two large Danish hounds, so tall that they would reach to the *height of the waist of an ordinary man. They are very dark iron gray in color and they were with him at the feast yesterday. Sitting at his feet under the table and going- with him, one: on each side of him, whenever he walked about the grounds. One of these dogs is named Rebecca and the other answers to Tyrus, and this was I am told a present from the present Emperor to Bismarck. Both are beautiful animals and they are remarkable for their devotion to their master. They are splendid watch dogs and the man who would dare to touch Bismarck in their pre- sence would be drawn down in ah instant and most probably killed. They are with him, as I have said, all the time; They sleep in his room at night, sit beside him in his study as he works and goes with him whether he goes abroad either on foot or in h•is carriage. After finishing his walk Prince Bismarck returns to his study and takes up his work for the day. I asked his private secretary as to his book of memoirs, which he is said to be preparing, but could get no informa- tion concerning them. There seems to be no doubt, however, but that he is putting this matter in hand as fast as he. can, and though he may net dictate the matter or write it himself, it will be in good shape for his biographer and will contain a wonderful amount of unwritten history. Prince Bis- marck's private letters and papers show that he is a most entertaining writer, and his collection of letters must be one of the largest and most valuable of any in the world to -day. During a part of his working hours Prince Bismarck smokes. He likes a pipe and smokes a medium grade of tobacco. He finishes his work at about 4 o'clock 8,nd then _goes out for a drive of several hours, when -he returns at about 6.30 for dinner. His dinner is at 7 p.m., and there are usually a number of guests present. The Prince is noted for his hospitality and also for his table. He has a good cook and his larder is supplied from his various estates, by his friends and by the markets of Hamburg and Berlin. His game comes almost altogether from his own estates and such deer as he uses must always be of a certain age and there is no such thing at Friedrichsruhe as a leather steak or tough venison. The meals are, of course, served after the European table d'hote fashion and all of the dinners are full-dress affairs.—Frank G. Carpenter. For mother WU by nature so forgiving and so mild That she inclined to spare the rod although she spoiled the child ; And when at last in self-defenee she had to whip us, she Appeared to feel those whippings a great deal mere than we ! But how we bellowed and took on, as if we'd like to die— Poor mother really thougnt she hurt, and that's what made her ory ! Then how we youngsters snickered as out the door we slid, For mother's whippings never hurt, though father's al ways did. In after years poor father shrivelled down ts five feet tour, But in our youth he seemed to us in height sight feet or more I Oh, how we shivered when he quoth in cold, sug- gestive tone; "I'll see you in the woodshed after supper all alone !" Oh, how the legs and arms and dust and trouser but- tons flew, What florid vocalisms marked that—vesper inter- view! Yes, after all this lapse of years, I feelingly assert, With all respect to mother, it was father's whippings hurt . The little boy experiencing that tingling 'neath his vest le often loth to realize that all is for the beet ; Yet, when the boy gets older, he pictures with de- light The buffetings of childhood, as we do here to -night.

Money or a Living? "To make money is one thing; to make a living is a better," says Edward Everett Bale at the close of his paper in The Cos- mopolitan entitled, "Making a Living." It is a sort of sketch story, and is a charm- ing bit of what one might call realistic fiction. For fiction it is in one sense, and realism it certainly is in another. Mr. Hale supposes the case of a couple that had to show for seventeen years of married life six children and an income from their savings of $400 a year. The older children were fifteen and thirteen years, with their clothes becoming more expensive and their appetites at the maximum. The father earned 111,000 a year as a book-keeper, the mother economized a little more every year, with the result that both lost their vim and elasticity of !spirits, both were growing year by year more anxious and careworn, so that the cheerful air each in- variably wore in the other's presence be- came more and more "manufactured sun- shine." At last, at the end of the seventeenth year, the two heads held a family council and decided at one stroke to win or lose all. He would resign his book-keeper'e place, they would rent one of the little abandoned farms in New England and see if they could make the children count in the struggle for a living, and do better for the children at the same time. How they came ont we are to be told in the future. Dr. Hale says the plan they chose is not what some foolish people suppose it to be—a panacea. Of all the masses of struggling humanity that are driven to the wall in cities, it is his opinion that going to the country and farming would be advantageous to about two in a hundred. That is prob- ably a very fair average. The first thing generally that city people who go on a farm to better themselves and country people who go to the city for a like purpose do is to break themselves financially. They may or may not succeed finally, according as they have perseverance and capacity for leerning new things. But one argument Dr. Hale brings for- ward for sending his fictitious family into the country to make a living is that some of the very States which are supposed to con- tain the largest number of abandoned farms are the onea increasing moet rapidly in population, and that this increase is in the agricultural distriots. Dr. Hede tells the truth, toe, only he does not mention that the reason of it is thet general farming has been largely abandoned, and fruit, dairy and vegetable farming has taken its place. By means of these a living, and a very happy one, can be made in New England. atram to enter -one or thorn. It was in 10, and I was travelling for a house in Provi- dence. In a large office bueling in that city, which was being built by a friend of mine, there were two elevator -shafts, and in them were placed the finest elevators that had been manufactured up to that time • With 1 he elevators.was an air -cushion de- vice whieh was newly patent,.:(1 and which had never been tried. One day my friend asked me if -I wanted to take a fast trip in one of the -elevators. I was game for any• thing those dayS, alid I said that , 1 wouldn't mind.. - The man who invented the air -cushion Was ping to give a prac- tical demonstration of its value, and had one of the elevator -cars hauled up to the top of that thirteen storey building. He pro- posed to get in the car and n let it drop, ad he wanted some one to go down with him. The car had been dropped two or three times with nobody in it, and the cushions had worked beautifully. That afternoon the final test was to be made. The invent- or, two reporters and myself were to go down with the car. I had given inyipromase that I would make .the trip, and tiltliough I would have given all that I possessed to stay out of the car after I found what was expected of me, I screwed my courage up to the .sticking point rather than be laughed at, and when the. inventor said that every- thing was' ready, I got in. The door was locked a moment after I entered, and when I saw that there was no escape,: I forced up t' a sickly sort of - a grin and looked around. I was so scared that my legs shook under me, and -the reporters were in exactly the same physical condition. . The inventor put- tered around fixing everything in shipshape, and we sat on the seat and 'trembled in unison. "Finally, everything was ready, and the inventor, gave the word. The rope that held the oar was out, and the trip began. It is utterly impossible to describe the hor- rible sensation that I felt when that ear shot downwards. My head swain, and black and red spots danced before my eyes. The swiftness with which it fell was incredible. It actually fell So fast that our bodies could not keep up with it, and we rose from; the floor as if going in the opposite direction. I was faint and sick with fear. The inventor was calm, though very pale.. "The trip took but a few 'seconds, and every foot that we fell the car seemed to in- crease its momentum. But by: degrees its speed slackened, and finally it stopped at the bottom of the shaft, AO slowly and easily that the water in a glass • that sat • on the floor of the car was not disturbed or rippled. We got out hurriedly, andthe cushion was pronounced a success. Now, when I at- tempt o get in an elevator, that , feeling of dread omes over Inc. Therefore I always walk."1—Buffalo Express.

For a fit of passion, walk out in the open air; you may speak your mind to the winds without hurting anyone or proclaiming your- ' self a simpleton. For a fit of idlenes-s, count the ticking of a clock; 'do this for one hour, and you will be glad to pull off your coat the next and work like a beaver. For a fit of extravagance and folly-; go to the wOrkhouse, or speak to the inmates df a gaol, and you will ,be convinced. For a fit of ambitiOn, go to the church- yard and read the gravestones; thag will tell you the end of ambition, The grave will soon be your bed -chamber, and the earth Your pillow; corruption' your father, and the worm your mother and sister. Forla fit of despondency look on the good thing God has given you in this world, and to those,he has promised to his followers in the next. He who goes into the, garden to look for cobwebs and spiders no'doubt will find them; while he who looks for a flower may return into his house with one bloom- ing in his bosom. For all fits of doubt, perplexity, and fear, whether they concern the body or the mind, whether they are a load to the shoulders, the head or the heart, the following cure may be relied on, for I lied it from the Great +Physician : "Cast thy burden upon the Ldrd, and He shall sustain thee." A 'View of the Saloon. The saloon is the poor man's club, and flourishes most .vigorously in the poorest sections of the city. Instead. of denounc- ing the saloon on account of the numerous evils it inflicts on the poor, something better must be supplied to take its place. "Verne is the sacred refuge of our life," but not- withstanding all that poets have sung and moralists have spoken, many workingmen are perfectly convinced that tws dark bed- rooms and a kitchen is not an attractive place in which to spend a pleasant evening with a friend. The saloon is the only sub- stitute. When Orpheus passed by the cave of the siren he took his lyre and made such wondrous melody that sailors, enraptured by the music spurned the seductive strains that wafted from the dangerous cave. The fable has its application—give the working- men something they will like as well as the saloon and you will strike at the root of the -evil. There are excellent places, like Cooper Union and the Young Men's Institute ; but these institutions cannot expect to draw those who live one or two miles away in another part of the city. If the working- men are fully alive to the advantages afford- ed them they. would undoubtedly be willing to walk a long distance, but the majority of them have no ambition to improve them- selves. They spend their evenings in saloons because they are always within easy reach and form ogreeable meeting -places. It is absurd to denounce the saloon in un- qualified terms. The multitudes who pat- ronize them are not all absolute fools. Many simply seek to satisfy the craving after fel- lowship which the Creator has implanted in their natures. The saloons are well -lighted, conveniently -located social clubs, provided in some cases with a pleasant reading room, and always with obliging proprietors. Wise men are beginning to see that a subetitute must be supplied to take the place of the saloon, which shall retain all its good fea- tures and simply discard its evil elements. —Rev. W. T. lasing, irt Scribner. Why She Hesitated. Say you will be mine !" he pleaded. But she hesitated. "A:su have been very kind to me," she said. " And I swear to devote the balance of my life to you," he protested. "Your devotion has always been marked," she assented. "1 admit thet you have paid every' possible attention. You t discovered my favorite flower and kept nie supplied with them all last winter. It was very thoughtful of yon." "jt was my love—" "And bon bons, Gorge. You seldom let me be without them. It must have taken a great deal of your salary to—" "Pray don't speak ot salary, Lucella. How can one think of money when trying to anticipate your wishes? It was and is my greatest pleasure." "You have seemed to think that I was too fairy-like to walk anywhere, no matter how short the distance," she went on. A carriage, dearest—you'll let me call you dearest—a carriage is a small matter when one enjoys your company. How could I ask you to walk when I knew you pre- ferred to drive ?" "1 appreciate it all, George," she said; "1 appreciate it fully. And I like you, George. I—I—perhaps I could truthfully say 1—But I can't marry you. I have thought the natter over calmly and I feel that I could not be happy with you. "Why not?" he asked anxiously. " You are too extravagant." —At Leeds, Mega.ntic county, the other day, two girls named Miss Woodside and Miss Rankin were killed by lightning. They were alone in the house scrubbing the floor near a. stove- when they were etruck. They were found in a kneeling position with the scrubbing brushes in their hands by Mrs. Woodside and one of their brothers.

Manning's logic •was always fortified by that i'readiness to assume onmiseience' which:is so useful in the ecclesiastical car- eer, aaId by a gracious Providence so lavish- ly bestowed. There was once a debate in Parliament about the "barilla duty" --and, as the terni was little known, an admirer of Mathling went to him for an explanation. "Dear me," replied Manning, "not know what barilla means ? I will explain it. You see, in commerce, there are two meth- ods Of proceedings. At One time you load y9ur ship with a particular commodity, such 4,s tea, wine, or tobacco ; at another - time select a variety of articles suit- able til) the port of destination. • And in the langudge of trade we describe this latter operation as a barilla." Manning did not speak the language of trade, i because he was assuming more knowliedge them he possessed .; but for that reason he already spoke the language of papal histories and cateehiS1113. The engnirer about! "barilla" soon found out that it meant an alkali obtained from the ashes of a Spanish vegetable. "Splendide menda,x" he may have thought when lie learned the truth,i:"and his faith in _Manning's infalli- bility twas no longer the same."—The Aca- demy: Figs and Thistles. You now and then meet folks who have all kinds of sense except common sense. It was a hopeful day for the devil when he saw the cook -stove go into the church. The devil doesn't know just what to make of the man who is religious with his money. God calls some men to preach the gospel, but he calls everybody else to help to pay the preacher. It is never hard to do the right thing. It is in deciding to do it that the tug conies. When God says, "Be reconcilell with thy brother," he means for you to do it before sundown. The higher a man gets up in spiritual life the lower he is willing to go down to help others. , You can tell generally about how mach people love the Lord by the kind of com- pany they keep. Perhaps all men cannot be successful, but every one can make up his mind that he will deserve to be.—Ram's Hem. A NataraI Subject of Speculation.
