WHAT'S DESPAIR!
BY TBELBO.
'Tis a fainting, reeling, feelings
Which aboht onr hearts is stealing,
When Hope's flowers are lying, dying,
Where sad Patience standing, sighing,
WeepingKeeping
darkest fears
GleamingSeeming,
through her tears,
A thing of woe?
A thing of beauty stricken low.
'Tis a sad'ning shrinking, sinking,
A distressing way of thinking?
A peculiar wearing, tearing
Of the heart, when it is bearing
I?osses,
Crosses, waning lame;
Seeing,
Being but a name
A glory dead?
A halo on its dying bed.
'Tis a losing, casting, blasting
Of bright dreams, which are not lastingLike
rose-buds, which glowing, blowing
Sweetly blooming without knowing,
Hearing,
Fearing winter's blast,
Low'ring,
Roaring till't has cast
The petals low?
The glowing rose-bud in the snow.

ANGLING FOR A DOG.
Brick Pomeroy tells the following:
Another time we were traveling on
grounds we had no right to tramp over.
The only excuse was like that of military
necessity?it was better fishing through
farms, where the trout had been preserved,
than in open lots, where all could fish.
It was early morning. We had risen at
three, ridden ten miles, and struck the
creek as the trout were ready for breakfast.
Looking carefully for a sheltered place to
hitch our horses, we slyly crept on behind
fences, &c., till we reached the part of the
stream not generally fished. A farm house
stood a quarter of a mile away. We saw
the morning smoke'curling lightly from a
stove pipe?saw a man and two boys come
out to do chores?saw two women busy a
* * ? ' 1 11 5
bout tiie door, ana a terocious Dun-aog
wandering about the yard.
If ever we fished close, it was then. Not
a whisper to disturb the birds, or the owners
of the land. We crawled through the
grass?dodged behind clumps of alders, and
lifted large speckled beauties out of the
water till our basket was full.
This was the time to have gone; but the
trout were so large, and bit so rapidly, that
we could not withstand the temptation, so
we decided to string and hide what we had,
and take another basket full. So at it we
went. No sooner would the hook touch
the water than we had a trout. We forgot
the house, the man, the boys, and the- dog.
Suddenly there was a rushing through
an oat field, as if a mad bull were coming.
We looked toward the house, and saw the
farmer and his two boys on a fence, the
women in the door, and the bull-dog bounding
towards us. We saw it all?we had
been discovered. The well-trained dog had
been sent to hunt us out, and, as the mat-,
ter appeared, it was safe to bet he was doing
that thing right lively.
To outrun a dog was not to be thought
of. There was no time to loose. He cleared
the fence, came for us just as we reached
a tree, and, by great activity, took a front
seat on a limb, above his reach.
Here was a precious go ! A vicious bull
dog under the tree, and a farmer and two
big boys ready to move down upon our
works. It was "fight, foot-race, or fangs!"
The farmer yelled to his dog, "Watch
him, Tige!"
Tige proposed to do that little thing, and,
keeping his eyes on us, seated himself under
the tree.
Then spoke this ugly farmer man?"Just
hold on thar, strangers, till we get breakfast
; then we'll come and see you! If you
are in a hurry, however, you can go now !
Watch him, Tige!"
We surmised trouble?quite much ; for
twice had the bold man of bull dogs and agriculture
elegantly walloped innocent tourists
for being seen on his suburban premises.
?lis reputation as a peace man was not good,
and there arose a large heart -toward our
throat.
Time is the essence of contracts, and the
saving of those in trouble. "VVe had a stout
line in our coat pocket, and a large hook
intended for rock bass, if we failed to
take trout; and, as good luck would have
it, we had a nice sandwich and a piece of
boiled corned beef in our other pocket.
We called the dog pet names, but he was
not on it. Then we tried to move down,
when he'd move up. At last we troubled our
bass line, fastened the great limerick to it,
baited it with the corned beef, tied the end
of the line to a limb, and angled for dog.
Tige was in appetite. He smelt of the
beef; it was very nice. He swallowed it,
and eat still, with his eyes on us for more,
but with no friendly look beaming from
His countenance. Not any!
Then we pulled gently on the line?it
was fast. Tige yanked and pulled, but
'twas no use. The attention of the canine
was diverted from us?his business was being
done by another line !
We quickly slid down the. tree?coming
near blistering our back doing it?seized
the basket and pole, and straightway went
thence somewhat lively.
We found our string of fish, and reached
the brerev and a commanding spot in the
road, in time to see the sturdy yeoman move
forth.
"VVe saw him and his cohorts?male and
female?move slowly, as if in no haste.
We saw them look up the tree. We saw an
anxious group engaged about the dog. We
came quickly home, and kindly left the bass
line and hook to the farmer.
Artemus Ward says "I returned in
the Hos8 Car part way. A pooty gal in
spectacles sot near me, and was telling a
young man how much he reminded her of
a young man she used to know in Waltham
Pooty soon the young man got out, and
smiling in a seducitiv' manner, I said to the
gal in spectacles?"Don't I remind you of
somebody you use to know?" "Yes," she
said, "you do remind me of one man, but
he was sent to the penitentiary for stealing
a barrel of mackerel; he died there, bo I
conclood you ain't him." I didn't pursoo
the conversation."

A STEAM HAN.
The following story of a remarkable mechanical
invention is told by the Newark
(N. J.) Advertiser:
Mr. Zadock Deddrick, a Newark machinist
has invented a man; one that moved by
steam, will perform some of the most important
functions of humanity ; that will,
standing up-right, walk or run, as he is bid,
in any direction and at almost any rate of
speed, drawing after him a load whose
weight would tax the strength of three
stout draught horses. The history of this
curious invention is as follows: Six
vears ago, Mr. Deddrick, the inventor, who
is at present bat twenty-two years of
age, conceived the novel idea of constructing
a man that should receive its vitality
from a perpetual motion machine. The idea
was based on the well-known mechanical
principle that if a heavy weight be placed
at the top of an upright, slightly inclined
from a vertical, gravitation will tend to
produce a horizontal as Well as vertical
motion. The project was not successful.
However, by observing carefully the cause
of the failure, preserving and perfecting the
man form, and by substituting steam in
place of the perpetual motion machine, the
present success was attained.
"The man stands seven feet and nine
inches, the other dimensions of the body
being correctly proportioned, making him
a second Daniel Lambert, by which name
he is facetiously spoken of among the workmen.
He weighs 500 pounds. Steam is
generated in the body or trunk, which is
nothing but a three-horse power engine,
like those used in our steam fire engines.
The legs which support it are complicated
and wonderful. The steps are taken very
naturally and quite easily. As the body is
thrown 'orward upon the advanced foot, the
other is lifted from the ground by a spring
and then thrown forward bv the steam.
Each step or pace advances the body two
feet, and every revolution of the engine
produces four paces. As the engine is capable
of making more than 1,000 revolutions
in a minute, it would get over the
ground, on this calculation, at the rate of a
little more than a mile a minute. As this
would be working the legs faster than would
be safe on uneven ground or on Broad street
cobble-stones, it is proposed to run the engine
at the rate of 500 revolutions per minute,
which would walk the man at the modest
speed of half a mile a minute.
"The fellow is attached to a commom
rockaway carriage, the shafts are two bars
of iron, fastened in the usual manner to the
front of the carriage, and are curved so as
to be joined to a circular sustaining bar,
which passes around the waist like a girth,
and in which the man moves so as to face
in any direction. Besides these motions,
machinery has been arranged by which the
figure can be thrown backward or forward
from a vertical, nearly forty-five degrees.
This is done in order to enable it to ascend
or descend all grades. To the soles of the
feet spikes or corks are fixed, which effectually
prevent slipping. The whole affair is
so firmly sustained by the shafts and so excellent
a foot-hold, that two men are unable
to push it over, or in any other way throw
it down. In order to enable it to stop
quickly,it is provided with two appliances,
one of which will, as before stated, throw it
backward from the vertical, while the other
bends the knees in a direction opposite to
the natural position.
"An upright post, which is arranged in
front of the dash-board, and within easy
reach of the fr.ont seats, sustains two miniature
pilot wheels, by the turning of which
these various motions and evolutions are
directed. It is expected that a sufficiently
large amount of coal can be stowed away
under that back seat of the carriage to
work the engine for a day, and enough water
in a tank, under the front seat, to last a
half a day.
"In order to prevent the 'giant' from
frightening horses by its wonderful appear
ance, Mr. JL?eaancK intends to ciotne it,
and give it, as nearly as possible, a likeness
to the rest of humanity. The boiler and
such parts as are unnecessarily heated, will
be encased in felt or woolen under-garments.
Pantaloons, coat and vest, of the
latest styles, are provided. Whenever the
fires need coaling, which is every two or
three hours, the driver stops the machine,
descends from his ^eat, unbuttons 'Daniel's*
vest,, opens a door, shoves in the fuel, buttons,
up the vest, and drives on. On the
back, between thq shoulders, the steamcocks
and gauges are placed. As these
would cause the coat to sit awkwardly, a
knapsack has been provided that completely
covers them. A blanket neatly rolled
up and placed on top of the knapsack, perfects
the delusion. The face is moulded
into a cheerful countenance of white enamel,
which contrasts well with the dark hair
and moustache. A sheet-iron hat, with a
gauge top, acts as smoke-stack.
' The cost of this 'first man' is $2,000,
though the makers, Messrs. Deddrick &
Grass, expect to manufacture succeeding
ones, warranted to run a year without repairs,
for $300. The same parties expect
to construct, on the same principle, horses,
which will do the duty of ten or twelve or
dinary animals of the same species. These,
it is confidently believed, can be used alike
before carriages, street cars and ploughs.
The man now constructed can make his
way, without difficulty, over any irregular
surface whose ruts and stones are not more
than nine inches below or above the level
of the road."
Neuralgia.?We have cut from the Alta
Califortiian a receipt for the cure of neuralgia,
which the editor of that paper claims
to have been effective in several cases to his
own certain knowledge. He says :
"Some time ago, we published, at the request
of a friend, a receipt to cure neuraloia?half
a drachm of sal ammonia in an
b? ?"" ^ ?
ounce of champhor water, to be taken a
tea-spoonful at a dose, and the dose repeated
several times at intervals of five minutes,
if the pain be not relieved at once. Half a
dozen different persons have since tried the
receipt, and in every case an immediate
cure has been effected. In one, 1 he sufferer,
a lady, had been effected for more than a
week, and her physician was unable to alleviate
her sufferings, when a solution of
sal ammonia, in camphor water, relieved her
in a few minutes."
Let no gentleman ever quarrel with
a woman. If you are in trouble with her,
retreat. If she abuses you, be silent. If
she tears your cloak off, give her your coat.
If she box your ears, bow. If she tear your
eyes out, find your way to the door?but <
fly. " . . . . '

MY MOTHER'S VOICE.
A friend told me, some time ago, a beautiful
story about kind words. A good lady,
living in one of our large cities, was
passing a drinking saloon just as the keeper
was thrusting a young man out into the
street. He was very young and very pale;
but his haggard face and wild eyes told
that he was very far gone in the road to
ruin, as with oaths, he brandished his
clenched fists, threatening to be revenged
on the man who had so ill used him. This
poor young man was so excited and blinded
with passion, that he did not see the lady,
who stood very near to him, until she laid
her hand upon his arm, and spoke in her
gentle, loving voice, asking what was the
matter.
At the first kind word, the young man
started as though a heavy blow had struck
him, and turned quickly round, paler than
before, and trembling from head to foot.
He surveyed the lady a moment, and then,
with a sigh of relief, he said, "I thought
it was my mother's voice, it sounded bo
strangely like it! But her voice has been
hushed in death for many years."
"You had a mother, then," said the lady,
"and she loved you?"
Bursting into tears, he sobbed out, "Oh
yes, I had an angel mother, and she loved
her boy! But since she died, all the world
has been against me, and I am lost?lost
to good society, lost to decency, lost forever!"
"No, not lost forever: For G od is merciful,
and his pitying love can reach the
chief of sinners," said-the lady, in her low,
sweet voice; and the timely words swept
the hidden cords of feeling, which had long
been untouched, awakening a host of tender
emotions, which had been buried very
deep beneath the rubbish of sin and crime.
More gentle words the lady spoke, and
when she passed on her way, the young
man followed her. He marked the house
which she entered, and wrote the name
which was on the door-plate in his little
memorandum book Then he walked slowly
away, with a deep, earnest look on his
white face, and deeper and more earnest
feelings in his aching heart.
Years glided by, and the gentle lady had
quite forgotten the incident we have related,
when one day a stranger sent up his
card, and desired to speak with her/ Wondering
who it could be, she went down to
the parlor, where she found a noble looking,
well dressed man, who rose deferentially
to meet her. Holding out his hand,
be said, "Pardon me, madam, for this intrusion
; but I have come many miles to
thank you for the great service you rendered
me a few years ago."
ThA ladv was mizzled. and asVed for an
explanation, as she did not remember ever
having seen the young man before.
"I have changed so much," said he, "that
you have quite forgotten me; but though
I only saw your face once, I am sure I
should have recognized it anywhere. And
your voice too?it is so like my mother's !"
These last words brought to her recollection
the poor young man she had spoken to
in front of the drinking saloon so long before,
and she mingled her tears with those
which were falling slowly over the man's
cheeks. After the first gush of emotionhad
subsided, he sat down, and told how
those few gentle words had been instrumental
in saving him and making him what he
was. "The earnest expression of, 'No, not
lost forever,' followed mo wherever I went,
and it always seemed that it was the voice
of my mother speaking to me from the tomb.
I repented of my many transgressions, and
resolved to live a new life ; and, by the mercy
and grace of God, I have been enabled
to resist temptation and keep my good resolutions."
"I never dreamed there was such power
in a few kind words before," exclaimed the
lady ; "and surely after this I shall take
more pains to speak them to all the sad
and suffering ones I meet in the walks of
life."?Mother's Treasury.
Never Satisfied. ? "Johnny, come
here," said Dr. Fry to his little boy, who
was playing on the carpet in the dining
room, "here is an apple for you."
It was so large that he could ha rdly grasp
it. Dr. Fry then gave him another apple
which filled the other hand.
"Here is another," said he, giving the
child a third.
Little Johnny tried hard to hold it between
the other two, but could not succeed;
it rolled away across the flooron seeing
this he burst into tears.
"See," said Dr. Fry to a lady who was
present, J'here is a child with mere than he
can enjoy, and yet not satisfied. My child
is a fair representative of us all. We are
ever seeking to possess more and more of
the world's treasures, and yet are never
satisfied. Oh that we were equally in earnest
in 'grasping' the promises of the gosRejoicing

so wise for the body as foolish for them.

God's Decrees.?For men to judge of
their condition by the decrees of God, which
are hid from us, and not His word which is
near us and in our hearts, is as if a man wandering
in the wide sea, in a dark night
when the heaven is all clouded about, should
yet resolve to steer his course by the stars
which he cannot see, but only guess at, and
neglect the compass, which is at hand, and
would afford him much better and more certain
direction.?Tillotson.

HOW A FAHMEK'S CLUB WAS ORGANIZED.
Farmers are peculiarly constituted as a class,
and in no direction does this peculiarity
more strongly manifest itself tnan in
an opposition to anything that smacks of
change, and an unwillingness to adopt new
customs and methods of operation, but rath
er cling to the old with a dogged persistency
worthy of a better cause. There are
good reasons for this condition, the principal
of which is to be found in their comparative
isolation as individuals, and,the 1
little part they take in the active business
of the changing busy world around them.
They become habituated io a certain routine
in their farming operations, and, in time, it
becomes almost impossible for most of them
to break away or change from the old ruts,
even after their reason may have become ;
convinced of its necessity. We all know j
how hard and difficult it is to change old
customs and habits, but if we would live
and improve in accordance with the spirit
of the age, we most do so occasionally in a
life-time, else make np onr minds to be left
far behind in the march of progress and improvement.
But this is a long preface to a short article.
Perhaps this unwillingness and backwardness
on the part of farmers to assist in
forwarding an enterprise for their own benefit,
and which is new, cannot be better illustrated
than by attempting to start a farmer's
club in any farming district. Once
let the subject be broached, and there is
silence; no one is willing to go ahead, and
none are ready to follow. The very idea
is an innovation, and they are frightened.
If there is a lawyer, minister or schoolmaster
to go ahead and lead, why they may
perhaps follow at a respectful distance.
But the great trouble is in' the newness
of the thing. Once let it become old and
settled, ana let them understand by experience
that it is for their interest, and they
are not so backward. So the trouble is in
commencing, in overcoming this adtipathy
to innovation sufficiently to get the thing
fairly started. Let me briefly explain how
it was done in one particular instance, and
perhaps it will furnish a hint which may
lead others to go and do likewise.
Farmer Johnson was one of your wide-awake,
progressive sort, of which it is a comfort
to know there are many others adding
yearly, who had long felt the need of the
advantages to be derived from an interchange
of views and experiences upon farming
matters, between himself and his more
intelligent neighbors. But how to get at it
was the point. He had broached the sub- i
ject of forming a Farmer's Club for several
successive winters, but without success, and
had almost despaired of effecting anything
in that direction. One afternoon, while j
coming home from market, a lucky idea'
entered his mind, which he proceeded to
put into execution. Driving pasta neighbor's,
who was at work in his yard, he called
out:
"Say, Smith, take your wife and come up
to my place a while this evening. Neighbor
Brown and his wifo are coming over."
"Well, I guess I will, after I get supper
and do up the chores." , .
So in the evening, Smith and Brown, with
on general topics, Johnson brought in ai1
large dish of nice apples, and all hands pro-1
J ceeded practically to discuss their merits.
"Pretty good sort of apples for so early i
in the season," says Brown, "what do you
call 'em ?" ,
"They are a natural variety that grow in
my orchard, and were so good that I saved
the tree when I topped the others."
"Keep well?" asks Smith.
"Fair keepers, but they are early winter
fruit. First rate pie apples; ain't they
wife?"
"0 yes, the best of any we raise."
"What do you think is the best apple to
raise after all," says Brown. .
"I go in for the Baldwin," says Smith ;
"how is it with you, Johnson ?"
"Well, I find it pays me best to raise early
apples, and get them into market while
they bring a big price. No doubt but the
Baldwin is the best kind of winter apple to
raise though."
"Talman Sweets do well with me," says
Brown ; "they keep till spring, and sell for
extra prices. I find them sure and regular
bearers, too, which is a point to be taken
into consideration."
"You set out a young orchard?didn't
you, this fall Smith ?"
"Yes; I put in a couple hundred, so as
to be growing for the boys, you know."
But I have not room to give you even an
outline of that evening's conversation. It
ranged over a large share of farm topics,
and, in many cases, each brought out as
many opinions as there were 'participants.
Much was learned from facts in each other's
experience, and many things brought out,
l-I-b. tlklM TTTrtlll f\
WIlIl/11} UUl lUi luio (itlllliuil KJL iUX UUO) ?TVUAU
never have been told. It was in fact a real
farmer's club session, and, just before breaking
up for the evening, Johnson said:
"Well, neighbors, what do you think of
the first meeting of our Farmer's Club ?"
"What ?" "How ?" "Where ?" and various
other interrogations and exclamations
Bhowcd that he was not fully understood.
"I mean," said he, "this meeting, which
we have held to-night, and which I hope is
only one of many more as interesting to be
held among us this winter."
Thus they were brought into organizing
and supporting a club without their knowledge,
and in a respectable style, too. John-,
son moved that a chairman be appointed;
also, one of the ladies for a secretary, and
it was agreed to meet at each other's houses,
weekly, alternately through the winter.
By and by the news of this club spread,
and after understanding the method of operation,
and what was required, many more
of the leading farmers and their wives in
the neighborhood joined, and by time for
spring's work, a club was formed so large
as to fill the biggest room in the spacious
farm houses.
Who can tell what good can flow from a
small begining ? The ice was broken in an
easy, quiet manner, and after the change
was once made, and the old rut of habit
broken out of, it was pleasant and easy to
accept the new. How many farmer's clubs
might be founded this winter! g. e. b,
