“ Make Childhood Sweet. not till the little hands are at rest Ere yon fill them full of flowers; Wait not for the crowning tuberose j To make sweet the last sad hours; • But while in the busy household band, [ Tour darlings s'ill need your guiding hand; j Oh, fill their lives with sweetness! Wait not till the little hearts are still For the loving look or praise; But while you gently chide a fault, ■ The good deed kindly praise. The word you would speak beside the bier Falls sweeter far on the living ear; Oh, fill young lives with sweetness! Ah, what are kisses on cold clay lips To the rosy mouth we press, When the wee one flies to her mother’s arms For love’s tendere-t caress? Let never a worldly babble keep Tour heart frooi the joy each day should reap, Circling young lives with sweetness. Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys, ■ Give thank's for the fairy girls; With a dower of wealth like this at home Would you rifle the earth for pearls? Wait not for Death to gem love s crown, But daily shower life’s blessings down, And fill young hearts with sweetness. Remember the homes where the light has . fled, Where the rose has faded away; And the love that grows in youthful hearts— O cherish it while ycu may! And make your home a garden of flowers, Where joy shall bloom through childhood’s h urs, And fill young hearts with sweetness. —Picayune. A SONG’S HISTORY. Perhaps the most popular written was ‘‘Ever of Tiiee.’’ It is not untrue to state that no song ever had such a sale, and certainly no publisher ever reaped so much profit from a song as did Mr. Turner from the publication of “Ever of Thee.” But there is a romance attaching to it which until now ha? not been written. It happened in this way: On a cold day in the January of 1850 the door of Mr. Turner’s music shop in the Poultry, London, was nervously opened, and a most unclean, ragged specimen of hu manity dragged himself in. He looked as though he hadn’t been washed for months. His beard was unkempt, and dirty, and matted. For boots he wore some folds of filthy rags, and in all be was a specimen of the most degraded class of that community. One of the clerks said to him, “You get out of here.’’ Two ladies who happened to be in the shop noticed his woe-begone look, and were about to offer him some money when a Mr. T—, (a clerk in the estab lishment), seeing the poor fellow shiv ering with cold and apparently hungry, pitied him, and brought him into the workshop so that he might have a “warm-up’’ by the stove. A f^wr min utes after Mr. _Turner, the jjrnujietor. alike as were their motli^. and her sis ter. You could not tell them apart at all,,unless you had them together. At this point one of the young ladies returned, with a little rush aad flurry, saying, in a very pretty tone. *T beg your pardon, Mr. Bird, but I went off without my gloves. ” ‘•Don’t apologize, don’t apologize, I pray, Miss—Miss—ah, Miss Annie. I am only too glad too see you in my of fice or my home, at any time.” ‘ ‘Alice, you mean, Mr. Bird; but I thank you for the compliment all the bring him here, and we shall see about this song.” T— “took him along.” He took him to a bath, and while the unclean was being made clean, he bought for him a shirt, a-pair of shoes, some socks, collars, cuffs and underwear. Then he had him shaved. Tnen they hied to a clothier’s, and having removed the rags, Lawson was quickly clad in fine raiment. The change was beginning to tell. Already the tramp seemed to be the guide and treasurer. He was a splendid-looking fellow, and had quite a distingue appearance. Bat the hat was still there, and a mirror-like chim ney-pot was purchased to complete the make-up. T— laughed when all was finished. He was in his working clothes, and this unfortunate looked like a duke. The good clothes fitted him, and they suited him and his ap pearance much too well to continue the assumption that Mr. Lawson was a tramp. He was a gentleman all over, and he looked it. T— said to him: “Mr. Lawson, I wish you would go into the shop bef jre me. They won’t know you, and it will be such a joke.” “I don’t mind that, Mr. T—, but won’t you let me have a drink? I want it—please let me have a drink.” T— refused to stand the drink; he told Mr. Lawson that if he wanted a dinner he could have it, but drink he could not have. Finally, the two went into the Ship and Tu tie dining-rooms, an 1, over chocolate and sirioia steak, the author of ‘ ‘Ever of Thee” told the following story: “I was once rich, Mr. T—. You know what I am now. You were astonished to hear me play the piano so well. That little song has been the only companion from which I gained any comfort for the past twelve months. It brought back to me the days when I was rich, loved, looked up to and hap py. Of course, it has its sad side for me. But the memory of what it recalls is the dearest thing in my existence.” T— interrupted him at this point and indicated that it was growing late. “Please bear with me,” rejoined his companion. “Let me tell you how and why I composed the little song. Two years ago I mat a girl in Brighton. If God ever allowed ono of his angels to come on earth she was that one. 1 adored her. She seemed to return the affection. I escorted her everywhere, was at her beck and call morn, noon and night, and it was currently believed that 31.S3 Blank and I were engaged. I had to return to London on business, and when I went back to Brighton sh e was gone. “ Three months after I met last resort I thought that perhaps my little song was worth a few shillings and brought it to Mr. Turner.” At this the poor fellow burst into tears. When he was himself again the/ went out, and a few minutes after wards Mr. Turner, addressing Lawson, said: “3Ir. Lawson, hero is ten shillings. It will be enough to get your supper and a decent room tonight. Tomorrow morning I want you to call here and I shall give you a good position in my warehouse. As for your song, I want you to remember this: If you will keep sober I will pay you a good royalty, but if you spend this ten shillings in drink, not another penny will you get.” Lawson left the shop, and did not make his appearance for five days. Then he was in a condition almost as bad as when he first entered it. His vest was gone; his boots were exchanged for old ones; his hat was—well, it was an apology for a hat. H?s coat (an old one) was buttoned tight around his col— larless neck, and his face was unkempt and unshaven—as unclean as it was five days ago. Mr. Turner looked at him. He did not even speak to him. The smell of bad rum sufficiently told him all he wished to know. He took a half-crown from his pocket, handel it to Lawson, and turned ul. his heel. Addressing Mr. T—, he said: “If this man comes here again, put him out.” The composer of “Ever of Thee” im mediately left the shop, and heaven only knows what his fate has been. Certain it is that he never called at Tur ner’s again. 3Ien, women and children of every color and clime sing the song of the tramp, Lawson. And the composer and his sad life are forgotten and unrecog nized in the dear old song, “Ever of Thee.”—English Paper. Thunder-stc frequent in Paris' Tower has been erect coining recognized as] Dr. Cbaille states j life of woman is loi her same,” and away she fluttered. “Confound it!” growled the old gen tleman, as he resumed his seat, after closing the door upon the fair visitor. “I’d have sworn that one was Annie.” Then he looked up with a smile, after thinking a tew minutes, end resumed: “If you can spare five minutes and care to hear it, I will tell you how I came near going crazy getting acquainted with the mother of those young ladies and her sister. ” Of course, nothing would please me belter, and I said so at once. 31 r. Bird produced an ancient and most respecta ble brand of cigars, and when we had lighted up he proceeded: “The maideu name of those young ladies’ mother and her twin sister was Yan Scriver, and their father, old John Van Scriver, was a large farmer and miller, quite wealthy, residing near Princeton. I had been admitted to the bar only about a year when he died, and my preceptor in whose office I was still located, had the settlement of the estate. “On ons occasion he wrote to the girls, who were the only heirs, that he needed certain memoranda from some papers in the homestead, and that on a day he mentioned he won d be there to get them, asking the girls to look the papers up in the meantime. When the day came the old man was particularly engaged, and asked me to take his horses and do the errand; and I was only too glad to oblige him. “In due season I reached the home stead, was received by a staid, elderly housekeeper and ushered into the par lor, where I was greeted by one of the young la- told her to be brightest and most beautiful dies I had ever met with. I who I was and how I came ■ there. “‘That is all satisfactory, 3Ir. Bird. We are glad to see any friend of 3Ir. Adair’s. Be seated, and I will have the papers for you in a few minutes. Excuse me, please,’ and she disap peared. “I sat pleasurably thinking of the young lady who had just left me, when the housekeeper came in with refresh ments, after the then good, old-fash ioned custom, and soon left me to enjoy them. I had been alone again but a at a ball. She had just finished a waltz with a tall, good looking man, and was promenading the hall orchis arm. iShe ter. ‘Just take my team and have another drive down there. You can fix up the mistake, whatever it is, in a jiffy, and get what I want this time sure.’ “Away I went, and in due time was in the Yan Scriver parlor. I took a critical look at the young lady as she came forward and offered me her hand, which I lost no time in taking. I was sure of 3Iaggie Van Scriver now. “ ‘I’m very glad to see you, 3Ir. Bird. Pray what made you leave so unceremo niously on Alonday?’ “ ‘Well, 3Iiss 3Iaggie, I thought it was about the best thing I could do un der the circumstances.’ “ ‘What? Just because I offered you a little refreshments?’ “ ‘Not at all. The refresbmjnts were as acceptable as they were gracefully tendered.’ “ ‘Then why did you go away before I returned?’ “I didn’t go before you returned. I staid until you came back and practi cally turned me out of the house. ’ “ ‘I turned you out of the house!’ she exclaimed, in blank astonishment. 3Vky, I never did anything of the kind.* “I am sorry to contradict a lady; but you certainly did. “By this time I had forgotten all about the twins in the case, and 3Iiss 3Iaggie’s brow darkened ominously as she said gravely: “ ‘3Ir. Bird, have you been drinking? I wish ycu to distinctly understand that I am not a story telier; and Isay 1 never saw you after I went out of this room for the papers.’ “ *3Iiss Van Scriver, I want it equal ly, distinctly and emphatically borne in mind that I am not a liar, and if you had not in effect turned me out of the house, pretending to know nothin about me, I should not have gone away.’ “Then 3Ii?s 3Iaggie’s eyes flashed as she retorted: “ ‘And you cannot oblige me more than by going away again. ’ “I was half way across the yard to my carriage when I heard a te.u fully penitent voics crying: ‘Oh, let him sol It 3Iaggie ’ Call him back! Don’t let him go! was I that did it!’ “I turned in considerable astonish ment, and there stood both girls on the porch, looking so terribly alike that, staring at them in semi-idiotic wonder, I could not for the life of me have told which was the other. “There is but little more of it. The story of how Laura ‘fired me out’ and concealed the fact from 3Iaggie bad to be told numberless times, until the moon shone brightly down upon my pleasant reflections as I pursued homeward the lonely road that was not lonely at all.” “Well,” asked the writer, “is that all there is of itt : * The Silent Teamster, From “The Last Trip la,” in the series on Pictures of the Far West now running in the Century we quote the following: “The teamster, as one of the types of the frontier, is seldom in troduced in print without allusions to his ingenious and picturesque profanity; whereas, it is his silence, rather than his utterances, that gives him among his brethren of the way a imost the dis , tinction of a species. “The sailor has his ‘chanty,’ the ne gro boatman his rude refrain; we read of the Cossack’s wild marching chorus, of the ‘begging song’ of the' 1 Russian ex iles on the great Siberian road, of the Persian minstrel in the midst of the caravan, reciting in a high, singing voice, tales of battle and love and magic to beguile the way.

J Cheese a Fair Substitute for Seat. • In the dietary of the laboring classes, cheese plays a not unimportant part; it has been pronounced by a high authority to afford a concentrated and economic food. It can be always at hand, it re quires no cooking, and may be considered a fair substitute for meat, combining heat-giving and flesh-forming elements in very useful proportions. From the great variety of cheeses thrown upon the market at the present day, no exact esti mate can be given of its nutritive value, for this depends upon the amount of butter and casein which it contains. One cheese may be made from the richest of unseparated milk, produced from high-class cows, fed on rich pasture; an other may be made from the thinnest of skim-milk; and ingenuity can now make cheese with very little, or, indeed, with out any milk at all. Beans are said to answer the purpose. It does not appear that any injurious ingredient are em ployed in the falsification of this article; simply substances foreign to that which it professes to be. A fair sample of cheese ought to contain two thousand six hundred and sixtvgrains of carbon (besides free hydrogW), and three hun dred and fifty grains of nitrogen in each pound. It is an economical food, espe cially if, as Sir Erasmus Wilson main tained, not more than one ounce ought to be eaten at a meal, But this limit of quantity is surely only the fad of a par ticular mind.—Argonaut.

Here last week he was fishing down in the Big Harpeth river, and had just settled down to business when, a fish came along and ran off with his hook and line while he was killing it. He looked into the water and saw his disappearing tackle and saw myriads of fine fish sporting amid the waters. He had to return to Nashville at the close of that day, and it wouldn’t do to come with out something to show for his skill. Though his line was gone, he had plenty of hooks and bait remaining, and a desperate expedient flashed through his mind. Divesting himself of all his wearing apparel, except the shirt, he carefully tore the rear of that useful garment into strips, and upon each he placed a baited hook. “Thus equipped he plunged in the stream and boldly made for the opposite shore. It seemed that he never had so hard a swim in his life, but he finally reached the land and unloaded dozens of the finest fish that you ever saw. When he swam back for his clothes he took off the hooks lest the accumulating ei"ht of fish might drown him.

Bring in the soldier.” The gormandizing soldier was brought in. “Cut this man open,” he said to his exe cutioner. “If there is a melon inside,” he added to the peasant, “you will get your money; if not, off goes your head.” The soldier was cut open, the melon found, and the peasant paid.—New York Observer.

Mankind’s Average Age. The average age at which mankind die is now forty years, and is steadily on the increase. The United States, despite the talk about the rapidity with which the Americans wear themselves out, forges ahead of every other nation on earth in respect to the longevity of its citizens, fifty-five years being the average here.

Some time ago the Dispatch corres pondent made mention of the fact that salt water was destined sooner or later f to play sad havoc with many of the oil wells in the northwestern Ohio field. It did not then seem possible, or, at least probable, that before three months would pass all such predictions would be fulfilled; but such is the case today. The Syndicate Oil and Fuel company of this city has a number of wells in the vicinity of Cygnet, some of which, when first drilled, flowed as largely as any in the field. Others again were light pro ducers, but the average has been about the same as all other operators secure. From 3Ir. Howard, the superintend ent of this company, information is ob tamed that some of these wells now yield from 100 to 200 barrels of salt water per day, and in almost every well owned by the company, more or less of this briny substance has made its ap pearance. This seems especially the case in the North Baltimore section of the field, where it affects the life of the wells much earlier than anywhere else. Here some of the mos*. prolific producers stop flowing before the end of the third day after being drilled, and to salt water is charged the cause direct. Thert is much apprehension all over the field on account of this menace, and numbers of operators are discouraged. The daily output of oil iu the north western Ohio field has not been increased to any great extent the last three months, notwithstanding the increase in the number of wells completed within this period.—Pittsburg Dispatch. heads.
