Whether the ruddy cheek's fair glow, That becomes your manhood so, Comes of well.spent hours or no, Time will tell ! As the tempter' house you Pass, Do you drain the social glass? Time will tell! By the wild eye's lurid flame, By the breath of your fair fame, By your good or evil name, Time will tell 1 Do you choose the honesi wave In your dealings, day by day? Tine will tell ! - Should the road be rough and Tong, Thornier than the path of wrong, Will your heart be faint or strong? Tinae will tell 1 ; Do you, with a nobler choice, Listen to the siren's voice? Time will tell! Whether yon spend in rightful sleep, Sleep's own hours, or orgies keep, That would make the angels weep, That will tell ! Yvery seed that we have son, e• ery blossoin therefrom blown, Time will tell ! All depends upon the root; Like from like still folIrws suit; Either sweet or bitter fruit, • Time will tell ! felt that his time had Come. "Some he slits their ears, and some hei marks with red chalk." --" It seems tn me," said a well-known judge to his daUghtr, "that your 0E- anced calls a good many times a week. My court doesn't sit anywhere near as often as your's does." " Oh, well, papa," was the blushing reply. "1 am engaged to him, you know, and that entitles us to a court of special seSsions." • —" What • is the 'worst thing about riches ?" asked the Sunday school super- intendent. And the new boy said: Not having any." —Nothing, it is said, makes a bald- headed man madder than to be accused of never removing the hairs out of the comb. —Flattery used to be. called "soft- soap," now is called "taffy." The style was changed because the lye was so plainly visible in the former. —" What is a silver dollar worth, par" "About 79 cents my child." "Papa, do the words on it, In God we trust, mean we loan him 21 cents ?" —A witty lady remarked of a gentle- man noted for taciturnity and arro- gance: " He seems to me an anomaly, in natural philosophy; he is gravity with- out attraction. —One lady said to another: "Rave you been to church to -day ? We had a most beautiful sermon on training ehild- ren." "No, I was at home doing it," was the reply. —Little Jack, out walking with his father, on passing a building, was told that it was an asylum for the totally blind. He innocently inquired why they put so many windows in it. '—Society people wishing to appear wise, get to talking history. Miss Par- venue—" Can you tell me, Mr: Q. what are the Knights of the Bath ?" Mr. Q. —" Saturday nights, I suppose." • The Parrot Did It. This true story comes from an old sea -board town in Maine: Gaieties. —A witty girl seeing a dapper little Lop of her acquaintance with a large hat on, sweetly said: "Come out of that hat, William, I know you are in it, for I see your feet." —A Tennessee court has closed a term in which six murderers escaped convic- tion, by sending a hungry woman to prison for two years for stealing a quart of buttermilk. —" Some one in England has plit the Salvatian Army into a novel." This must be an agreeable ehange for the Army. Heretofore. the rule seems to have been to put it into a station - house. —The individual who called tight boots comfortable, wasn't such an idiot as he loolced after all, for he defended his .position by saying that they made a man forget his other miseries. —One reason why more people did not go into the ark is that Noah neglected to adaertise the excursion in the daily papers of his time. There is a great moral lesson embraced in this circum- stance. --" Mariar,what book was you readin' so late last night ?" "It was a novel by Dumas the elder," "Elder 1" "I don't • believe it. What church was he elder 611,1 sh'd like to know,and writ novels ?" • —Grandpa—" Tell me, Ethel, why do you have six buttons on your gloves ?" Ethel—" Yes, grandpa dear, I will tell yeg. The reason is, if I had seven but- tons, or five'they would not match the six hntton-holes. irl of the period (age eight)—Coine up *loser, Sammy; don't be walking off there by the curb -stone. Sammas—I doisit want to. Girl of the period—Well, you better. Folk& will think we are married if we walk so far apart. —Burlington girls are of a decidedly haziness like turn of mind. "May I aspire to your hand ?".asked a _dude of one of our prettiest belles the other day. "Yon may have the refusal of it fer an iniefinite period," was the reply. • —Recording—" Papa," said a little boy, looking up from his Sunday school lesson, "are all our deeds in this world recorded ?" " Not always," replied -the old man, who is a real estate lawyer. "I lost $350 once by failing to record a deed." —He—" Speaking of their marriage, I think they both made a very good match." She—" How can you say so? Why, she's brimstone personified and he's a perfect stick." Re—" Brimstone and a perfect stick—precisely the essen- tials to a good match." —"How long did it take you to cross the ocean?" asked Gus De Smith of a rery aristocratic lady just returned from Europe. "1 was seven days on the water." Seven days I. Why, when my brother went across it took him eight days." " Probably your brother went or in the _steerage. I was a first cabin passenger," she replied proud- ly. --Young Washington had been out of town visiting his uncle's sheep farm. It chanced that on the Sunday after his return home the subjectof the lesson was " The Good Shepherd." Young Wash. sat and listened to the teacher's discourse with a superior smile. There was nothing about sheep that he didn't "How does the Good Shepherd know his sheep ?" presently asked the teacher. "1 know," cried Wash., who Jacob loved Rachel, but Rachel wouldn't have him. Jacob labored on, pressing his suit at intervals, and after each rebuff telling her he was bound to win her yet, and convince every one she cared for him as much as he believed in his heart she did. " Yery well," cried the indignant Rachel, with a toes of her head, "keep right on till you make folks believe that, and when you do I'll marry you !" Jacob did persevere, but with small success, and at last began to lose cour- age. About this time another suitor of Rachel's arrived -home from sea, bring- ing with him, among other exotics, a parrot of gorgeouslme, which he pre- sented to Rachel, who forthwith had the bird suspended from the sitting- , room window, where she looked out afternoons when her work was done. For `a day or two after his elevation to this dignity the parrot remained marvel- lously quiet, only casting an eye about as if taking in his new situation. On the third morning, however, no sooner did the neighbors begin to stir than he electrified each passer-by with the an. nouncement : ":Rachel's gone on Jacob; no chance for John !" Of course, the more laughter this rais- ed the more vociferously the bird proclaimed the news, It spread like wildfire, and the parrot's audience steadily increased. Rachel, meanwhile, went into hysterics; but however much this incommoded the family, it made no impression on the parrot, who, although threatened and beaten and relegated to darkness, waxed more and more furi- ous, with a desire to spread his know- ledge. Jacob kept out of the way or a while, but there was no lack of couriers to bring him information of the other fellow's discomfiture and the parrot's heroic de- fense of his cause. At last Rachel's father appeared, wearing on his weath- er-beated face an odd mixture of frown and grin. Look a -here," he said, "between that derned bird's screechin' nn' folks a eacklin' that gal's a • most out o' her kead. There's nothin' for you to do but go over there and try to fix up things as well's ye can. I guess most likely she'll see ye—I do' no, folks can't always tell." The upshot was, Rachel married Jacob, who sticks to it that it was the penetrative wisdom Of his rival's parrot . that did the busine' ss and denies to this day all knowledge of the way the parrot came by his speech.—Boston Re- cord. expression "sure enough," or 'she 'nuff," as they call •it, is prefixed to nouns. with the forcei of an adjective, as: "Is that your. shu'l 'nuff name?" "11, looked like a shumnuff cat." You hear " heap " used boutinnally—" she is a heap better ;" "I have a heap Of work to do." The smallest pebble is a rock— "rock fences" abound. I heard an old lady complain that the "boys were rocking her gander," i. e., throwing stones at it. "You all" is used in the possessive also. "Who preaches in y' all's church new ?" Ears are, called "-yeses." Afternoon is unknown; they divide the day into " inawnin' and even - in'." Dimes and nickels abound, but smaller change is unknown. A cent is a matter- of curiosity. "We 'uns and you 'uns " is very common in Tennessee. Utility oIf Hip Pockets. The general platctitioner is frequently asked by anxioue parents; "What shall I do for my boy ; he is getting so awfully stoop shouldered that I am afraid he will get consumption; I will have to get him a brace. What kind would you re- commend ?)" It requires no extended argument to prove the importance of a well-expanded chest. Apart from the incalculable benefits to health, an erect carriage and graceful movements at- tract the attention of the most humble. It causes them to correct as far as they are able in their children any tendency to awkward stooping, or ungainly posi- tions. Apart from the cost and incon- venience of expensive instruments, but few meet the requirements. In many cases better results may be obtained by attending to simple details, within the reach of everyone, in the ordinary cloth- ing. The boy's pockets are to him a very important part of his dress, and the natural tendency is to keep his hands in them. When. not actively en- gaged, there they are usually found, and if the pockets are properly placed they will inadvertently cause him to throw back the shoulders and more or less expand the chest. For instance, the jacket or overcoat should havewhat is called breast pockets, the opening should be high and as far back as possi- ble, parallel with andin the line of the 'body, instead of low down and trans- verse, as usually foundsin the ordinary jacket or overcoat. The pants should have what are called "hip pockets," and no others. It will then be apparent thatewhils the hands are in the pockets a better, if not a perfect position will be assumed, and the boy spared the many admonitions to "Keep your hands out of your pockets," and the accom- panying box on the ear."—Albany Argus. A Conversation—Results. The following conversation led to the writing of that wonderful book, " Ben- Hur." General Lew Wallace told it at a recent dinner given in Cincinnati: I was going'down the Mississippi river in a boat, and was enjoying myself in my stateroom, when •the door, which was slightly ajar, was opened, aod Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll entered and said: General Wallace, I want to talk with you." " Let me set the text and I'll talk," I answered. "All right," replied Ingersoll, "what is your text?" I "18 there a God ?"'I asked of the great unbeliever, by way of a text. "I don't know. Do you ?" "Is there a heaven?". " I don't know. Do you?" Is Christ the Son of God and the Redeemer of mankind 7" •••N " I don't know. Do you ?" " Is there a devil ?" " I don't know. Do you ?" " Is there a hell?" " I don't know. Do you ?" After a, few more desultory remarks, Ingersoll broke forth with such a con- glomeration of blasphemy, irony, sar- casm, and pathos as I have never heard. He appeared to be almost inspired, and beautifully rounded sentences fell from his lips in quick succession. I saw at once the power of this man's elo- quence and opinion, and I began to think that I was not thoroughly conversant with, the questions I had propounded to the great infidel. I began to study the Bible and kindred works thoroughly, and the -result was " Ben-Hur." This is how I came to write the book." _..s. Southern_Talk. Being in Dixie' for the first time, I was greatly interested in and amused by the column of Southernisms in your last _number, and would like to add some more. One thing is the omission of the letter " d " in euch words as " can'le," kinile," " buifle," " Sun'ay," for can- dle, kindle, etc : " b " also suffera in the same way—" tumle," tum'ler."

Mowry, that contains the fol- lowing story: "One day, when I was in college, I heard a young lady say, '1 don't think much of college fellows.'" To my query as to the grcunds of so singular an opinion, she replied; "They do not black the h els of their boots." When I protested that tat charge could not be true of them all, she re- sponded: "Oh, no, I suppose not; but the ex- ception proves the rule. Ihave noticed that most of them only bilk the front boots; part of their boo • and the like rever- sible collars and cuffs." What does itindicatewhen the heels of boots arena- blacked? The boy is not thorough. He onlydoeswhat he is forced to do. If he thought he would pass muster among people if he did not black his boots at all, they Would never be blackened.

Boys laugh at girls, and 4sy they pay too much attention to cloths. How do 1 the boys like to see their sisters with soiled collars, buttons off t ieir boots, a ruffle hanging on their dres ? It is the evidence of a true gentleman or a true lady when the olothing worn is in order and suitable to the occasion. Dress and the way it is worn is an in dication of character. If- the heels of the boots are blacked, youtnlay be pretty sure that the boy or man is thorough in whatever he undertakes. 1e learns his lessons, not because he must but because he desires to learn. When ie is sent to clean up the garden, he r*es the dead roots and vines in a pile or burning; there are no stray piles hidden in the bushes near the fence. He blacks the heels of his boots. i If you want to be a thorough worker,if you want to be a truthful, honest, fear- less man, black the heels o your boots, and do not make believe that your collar is clean by reversing it. Wear and Tear o Gold. The annual •loss of gold, by attrition, shipwreck, fires, etc., is ve y small, not quite two tons, or £280,000i According to Jevons, gold coin loses wo per cent. in 100 years—that is £147 000 per an- num on the actual amount, 736,000,000. The loss by shipwreck canbot possibly be higher than one-sixth of the ratio of loss in sea -borne mercha clise—say £2 for every £1,000 shipped ;. and as the quantity of sea -borne g d in 187i-80 averaged £50,400,000 per annum, the loss by shipwreck woul be £101,000. If we allow £32,000 for lo by fires we make up a total wear and ear of ii80,- 000, or two tons, the e isting stock, being a little under 11,00 tons. Mc- Cullooh used to reckon for jewelers, loss, wear and tear, etc , about one- quarter per cent., which ould be near- ly £4,000,000 a year o our present _stock. The consumption y jewelry is probably even more no but this no- wise affects' the questio of a possible gold famine, since the jewelers' con- sumption goes to swell th uncoined re- serve. It would -appear that 80 years ago the uncoined reser e was better understood than to -day for I find in the Edinburgh Review of 1803 the following passage: " he precious metals have a two -fold se—for manu- factures and coin. If t ere is a defici- ency of coin, the plate will be melted and coined. If there is a s perabundance of coin, it will be melted and manufac- tured."—M. G. Mulhall, n the Contem- ,porary Review.
