A little, little space, A few brief mot:tls or years. Too brief, 0, soul, for tears, Then to thy resting-place. Oh, wherefore art thou stirred With weak and idle rage To beat against thy cage Like to a captured bird? Be still, poor soul, be still; He sees the sparrow's fall; Thy woes He knoweth all; Hush, hush, and wait His will. eltttt "or . "LITTLE RUSTIC." It was a pleasant day in Sep tember, and the afternoon sun shine lighted up the cool green forest with a magic glow. The giant trees tossed their branches to and fro, as if to catch its kisses on their leaves. Will Shelton and Arthur Scott thought that never before had so fair a scene met their gaze as that which they be. held as they trudged gaily along a country road .bich was lined on either side by deep forests, in which they had been bunting for small game. 'Suppose we give up the hunt for one day and look out for lodg I ings,' said Shelton, a fair haired I youth of twenty-three, to his com panion, a dark, handsome boy of nineteen. 'All right. I am heartily tired of this hunt, any way, and I have almost decided not to continue it longer than to morrow. I wish I had remained at Bolton,' respond ed Arthur, despondently. 'Oh, don't give up, old boy 1 Al though game has been scarce bO far the scenery should be sufficient compensation for your walk. I see no signs of babitation, and this road apparently leads to nowhere. Ah ! perhaps that little rustic can direct us to some farm house where we can get lodgings,' said Will, as he caught a glimpse of a sunbonnet rising above a distant bill. Quickening their pace, they soon overtook the owner of the bonnet, wh.o turned out to be a quaint looking little figure clad in a dress of' drab goods made quaker fashion. 'Wyhat a pretty form for a coun try girl !' exclaimed Arthur. 'But i'll bet she is as ignorant as a Sand wich Islander,' said Will, 'and I mean te have some fun.' As they approached her he said: -Uel!o ! little rustic, wherec do you live ?' 'To home,' was the response. 'No doubt of it, but where is your bomne?' asked WVill. 'Over to grandad's,' came from under the bonnet, which was drawn very clos'ely about the face of the wearer. 'Well, where does your grandad live ?' 'Up to Vine Cottage. But what business is it of yourn whbere he lives ?' 'Simply,' replied Arthur, 'that we should like to get lodgings for to-night. Will you be so kind as to direct us to the nearest farm house?' 'Well,1I reckon grandad will take you, if you've got any money to pay for supper.' After assuring her as to the prosperous state of their finances, Will again opened the conversa tion by asking, 'Whbat is your name, and ho w old are you, little girl ?' 'I'm Ma-ry Elizabet,h Gray ; I forget bow vld I anh.' 'Did you ever go to school here ?' 'Ya'as, I did. I went t.hree days. It rained two days, and the school mnarm didn't come, and and the next day school didn't keep.' 'Hla! ha! ha!' laughed her in terrogator. 'You must be hand somely educated. Can you smng?' 'Kinder. I went to singin' sknwi ontt' -Can you sing an instrumental solo ?' 'Never tried.' 'Let's hear you try now.' 'Ain't going to do it.' 'How many brothers and sisters have you?' 'Nary one.' 'Were you ever in Bolton ?' -Ya'as,: I wont to a circus once.' 'What did you see ?' 'A monkey, but I guess he glot out. What did they feed you on?' Will at once changed the sub. ject and asked 'How much material did it tako to make your bonnet?' 'All that was left of your cuffs,' she curtly replied. Now Will's special weakness was for his large and spotless shirt-cuffs, and they walked on in silence until they reached Vine Cottage, where their little guide was met by a large, savage look ing mastiff, which growled fero ciously at the strangers. 'Down, Tiger ! Can't I teaeb you no manners! Quit growling at the gentlemen.' Turning to them, she said, 'Git to the houee while I hold him,' which they at once proceeded to do without looking back, and when she screamed, 'look out! you, Tiger!' ,hey bounded into the house with more haste than grace. They were met by old Mr. Jray, a white-haired, genial look ng old gentleman, to whom Ar ,har explained his errand, and ,pologized for their hasty en ;rance. No sooner had the door dlosed upon them, than the 'little ustic' threw herself down beside >d Tiger, whom time had long ,incc deprived of his teeth and )cal after peal of girlish laughter aug out on the clear evening ur. 'Besie! Bessie ! come to sup >cr !' called her grandfather after io had introduced the strangers ,o his wife. But Bessie was not to be found ; or did she appear until they had inished their supper and the ~oung men had gone to the par or. When left to themselves, Ar ~hua said: 'Everything speaks of taste and efinement; both Mr. Gray and as wife are highly educated ; our ittle guide must have been lately idopted.' 'And a piano, too, by Jove ! Who in the deuce plays it ?' said Will. While thus discussing, Bessie ntered bearing lights, and the two young men noticed that she had a remarkably pretty faco, and the chestnut brown hair, none of which was wasted in bangs or rizzes, was neatly and becomingly arranged. Taking a seat by the ire she sat silent for some time, when Arthus asked 'Will you fatvor us with some music, Miss Gray ?' 'I want you to play some first,' said Bessie. 'Please excuse my friend,' said W ill. 'His 'musical ed ucation has been sadly~ neglected. But: if you are fond of classic music, 1 will play for you.' Bessie said she had never heard of any of that sort, but guessed she liked it. He took a seat at the piano, and proceeded to mur der 'The Star Spangled Banner' in the most cold-blooded manner im aginable, ending with a few bars of something decidedly original. 'Did you ever hear that before ?' e asked of Bessie, who had been nervously chewing the corner of her handkerchief. 'Ya'as, the man played that when he tuned the pianer,' she re plied. Arthur then insisted on her playing. Without the least hesi tation she walked to the in'stru ment, and asked, while her blue eyes t win kled merrily 'Shall I sing an instrumental solo?' Here she laughed outright at the horror-stricken looks of the young men, who began to realize that they were the victims of their own jokes. 'I-I-beg your pardon, Miss Gray,' stammered Arthur Scott, who had really taken very little prt in the fin, while Will's 1o quaciouness tuddemny deserted him, and tor once he could think of nothing to say. 'It is granted,' S-aid B13 si, laugingly, -but ie next time you make your pin. f('r arioue mont, be sure you are riot over beard.' 'And when you play pract:cal jokes on L% o un6ius1pecting bui ters, yOU muust make soie allow ance,' said will, who had b'y this ime regained his though Ls. 'And now you owe us some music; but you are not expected to have mras tered the art as I have done.' Thus they were Oil the best of terms. Bessie who had a good voice, gaoe them quite a treat in that line, arid the young miu soon Found that a little rustic was a more interesting companion than E city belie. When they parted For the night they both declared that it was the Most enjoyable >veniing they had ever spent. Will told Bessie that he would not dare to leave the yard while Tiger was at large. 'I will hold him till you get >ut,' said she, laughingly. The next morniug, when they were prepariug to depart, Mr. 3ray invited them to visit him gain, which they giadly prom sed to do. .. Two years have passed. Mean whilo, Will Shelton has wooed ind won the littae rustic for a wife.

New York Sun. Dr. Talmage took two texts resterday morning for his sermon tbout the new.spatpers. One was, And the wheels were full of eyes.' Be said: 'What but the news aper printing presses have all bheir wheels full of eyes? All >tber wheels are blind. Th~e man ifacturer's wheel som eti mes rolls >ver the operativ'e fatigued in aery nerve and muscle and bone, md sees nothing. But the news paper press has sharp eyes, keen yes, eyes that look up and down, ~ar sighted and near sighted, that :ake in the next street and the ext hemisphere ; eyes of criti 3ism, eyes of investigation, eyes ~hat sparkle with health, e-yes laring with* indignation. eyes ender and loving, eyes frown izg ~nd suspicious, eyes of hope, blue yes, black eyes, green eyes, sore yes, historical eyes, literary eyes, sclesiastical eyes, eyes of all sorts.' Dr. Talmnage's second text was, For all the Athenians and stran ~ers which were there spent their ime in nothiingr else but either to Lell or hear some new thing.'Dr Talmage said : -Thbat text gives the cry of the world for' a news paper. In proportion as m'en be come wise they become inqjuisi ive, not about small things, but about great.er things. T be great question thunders, 'What is the news?' There is a newspaper in Pekin, China, that has been published every week for' a thou sand years, printed or4 silk. Rome answered the question with the Acta Diurna. France answered it when her physicians wrote out the news for patients. England answered it by publishing an ae count of the Spanish Armada, and its newspaper press went on in creasing until the battle of Water lo, which decided tho destinies of nations of Europe, was cbron icled in a description of a third of' a column ! -America answered the question when Benjamin Harris published tbe tirat weekly n'aws pper, eultitLed Public Occurrences, in Boston, in 1690. The first American daily newspaper was published in Philadelphia, in 1784, entitled 2te American~ Daily Adl vertiser. I will give you thc gen ealogical tree of the newspaper. The Adam was the circular ; the circular begat t be pamphblet; thbe pamphlet begat thbe quarterly ; the quarterly begat the monthly; he monthly begat the semi-month iv ; the snii-montnly begat the weekly ; the weekly begat the teIhi-wceklV ; the seni-weekly be gat, the daily. Alas. through what a struggle it Came to its pr-sent devl pmett! As sOou as it, be ganI to (. oo titr'ate it,; pow er. supe11rs.Ltitin a=1d tyranny shack led it. There is nthintg that des lotism so much fears as the print in press. It has too many eyes. Russia, whieb, considering ail the circutnstances, is the nieanest and most. cruel despotism on earth to.day. keeps the printing press under severe espionage. A great writer in the South of Eu rope declared that the King of Naples had nade it unsafe for him to write on any subject but natural history. Austria could not bear Kossuth's jourrialistic pen plied for tho redemptiof off i.irgary. Napoleon ., wanting to keep his iron heel on the neck of nations. said that a newspaper was a regent of kings, and that the only safe place to keep an editor in was a prison. 'But the great battles of free domr of the press were fought in the court looms of iogland and the United States. One was when Erskiine made his great speeca1 on behalf of t11e fr-e'e.omiu tO publish Paine's -Rights o Mai' in England. These battles were the Maratuou and Thermopyiae of the fight which determined that the prirnting prtss was not to be given over to handcuffs and hobbles of literary and political despotism. Thomas .iefferson said: 'J f I had to choose between a Government without newspapers and newspapers with. out Goverriment, I would employ the latter. 'Stung by some fabrication in print, we talk of the unbridled press. Our new book is ground up by unjust criticism, and we talk of the unfair press. Through some indistinctness of our utter ance We aru Iported as say ir:g just the opposite of what we did say. and we talk ot the blundering press. We take up a newspaper with a social scaudal or a case of divoree, and we talk of the til thy and seurrilous press. B ut this morning I address you on a subject you have never heard presented-the immeasurable, ev - erasting blessing of a good news paper. Thank God that their wheels are full of eyes. I give you this overwheimring statis tic: that in the year 1870 the number of *copies of literary and political newspapers published in this country- was 1,500,000, 000 ! WVbat ch urchb, w hat refor mer what Christian man, can dis regard these things ? I tell you, my friends that a good newspa per is the grandest blessing that God has given to the people of this century-tbe grandest tem peral blessing. The theory is abroad that anybody can make a ne wspaper withi the aid of a c.api talist. The fact is that fortunes are swallowed up every year in the vain effort to establish news papers. Thei large papers swallow up) the small ones. The big whale eats about fifty minnowS. We have 7,000 dailies and weekliei in the United States and Caunadas, and only thirty-six are haif a cen tury old. The average life of a ne ws paper is five years. Most of them die of cholera infantumf. [Laugh ter.] It is high time that it wais understood that the most success fui way to sinik a fortune and keep it sunk is to start a newspaper-. A man with an idea starts the Universal Ga:attc or the 11il hnium Aduoca(e. Finally the money is ali spent, and the sub scribers wonder why their papers do not come. [Laughter.] Let me tell you that if you have an idea, either moral, social, political, or religious, you had better charge on the world through the columns already established. If you can't climb your own back yard fence, don't try the Mtatterborn. If you can't sail a sloop, don't try to nviate the G~reat Eastern. To publishI a newspaper requires tbe skill, precision, vigilauce. strate gyr and boldness of a commander in-chief. To edit a newspaper one needs to be a slatesman, a geeogra pher. a statistiCian, and so far as all acquisitions are concer-ned, en ,.y.lo.nei If you have a notion to start and publish a newspaper. take it for granted that you are threatened with softening of the brain. Take your pocketbook and throw it into your wife's lap. liush up to Blioorningdale asylum and surrender yourseif before you do something desperate. [Laughter.] 'Our newspapers are repositories of knowledge and are constantly lifting the people into the sun light. ewspaper knowledge makes up the structure of the world's heart and brain, and de cides the fate of churches and of nations. Adams, Jefferson, Frank. fin, Clinton, all bad their hands on the printing press. Most of the good books of the day have come out in periodicals. Macau lay's essays, Carlyle's essays, Rus kin's, Taifourd's, and others have first appeared in periodicals. It one should see in a life nothing in the way of literature but the Bi ble, Shakespeare, a dictionary, and a good newspaper, he would be fitted for all the duties of this life and for the opening of the next. A good newspaper is a mirror of life as it is. Complaints are made because the evil is reported as w eii as the good. But a newspa per that merely presents the fair and beautiful side of society is a misrepresentation. If children come into the world's active life and find it different from what they bad believed, they will be incompetent for the struggle. Complaint is sometimes made that sin is set up in great primer type and righteousness in nonpareil. Sin is loathsome ; make it so. Vir. tue is beautiful ; make it so. A great improvement in newspapers would be to drop their imperson ality. It would add potency to articles to see articles signed. It seems to me that no honorable man would write an article that he would be ashamed to put his name to. What is a private cit izen to do when a misrepresenta. tion is multiplied 20,000 or 50,000 times? A wrong done a man's character in a newspaper is more virulent than one done in pri vate life. It seems to me that it would be a great advantage to the literature of this country, if men could get the credit for the good they write, and be held responsi ble for the evil they write. An other improvement would be a university education for journal ists. as for the other professions. No profession requires more cul ture and education than that of journalism. There must be edito rial p)rofessorates in our colleges. 'The newspapers serve an im portant function as the chroniclers of passing events. They describe for the benefit of' future historians all events-ecclesiastical, literary, social, political, in ternational, bem ispherical. They are the reser voirs of history. They are also a blessing in their evangelizing in fluences. Tfhe Christian newspa per will be the right wing of the apocalyptic angel. The cylinders of the Christian printing press will be the front wheels of tbe Lord's chariot. The music that it makes I mar-k not in dimninuen do, but in crescendo!' We may compare the soul to a linen cloth: it must be first wash ed to take off its native hue and color, and to make it white; and afterward it must be ever and anon washed to preserve it white. All the good things of this world are no further good to us thban as thbey are of use ; and whatever we may heap up to give to others, we enjoy only as much as we can use, and no more WVor-ldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the cound of a coarse voice breaking the stillness of night. Experience and enthusiasm are much like the two buckets of a well: as the one rises the other sinks, and they are found only for a moment together.___ G~reat wealth is a great blessing Ito a man who knows what to do with it; and as for honors, they ar inesimable to the honorable.

Long-continued exertion, with out proper intervals of rest, is fol lowed by a peculiar sensation of fatigue, and often by tremor or cramp. Fatigue is due, in part, to the failure of contractile material, and an accumulation of waste products, in the muscles, but, in ~the main, to the exhaustion of the nerve centers that supply stimulus to contraction. Both tremor and cramp are probably caused by ex cessive muscular irratibility, the former being due to short, irreg ular explosions of muscular force, the latter being a prolonged con traction of the mascle. When over-exertion is confined to a small group of muscles, these, instead of becoming enlarged and strengthened, as is the case when exertion and rost are duly inter changed, suffcr chronic exhaus tion, which shows itself in.a spe cies of paralysis-as in in palsy, or cramp, severally peculiar to
