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,

But while you gently chide a fault,

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

Circling young lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys,

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

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.

“Confound it!” growled the old gen

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

“‘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

with a tall, good looking man, and was
promenading the hall orchis arm. iShe

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,

“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

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.

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. Those
who are not iu the secret regard his luck
as phenomenal.—Nashville American.

The soldier was cut open, the melon

The Effect of Salt Upon Oil.
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.

YOU TELL
SOUND HORSE
When you see one? Know
whether he is free from Spavin,
Splint and Sprain, or the many
troubles to which Horses are
liable ?
And if you can detect imper
fections, do you know how to
treat the animal so as to do
away with the trouble and thus
g eatly increase the value of the
orse ?
Do you even know the proper
name of the different parts of
the animal, such as Pastern,
Stifle, Hock, &c. If not, you
cannot claim to be much of a
horseman. Can you tell the age of a Horse by its teeth ? These
and hundreds of other points are given in our
25c. 100-Page Illustrated Horse Book.
It teaches you to pick out a good Horse ; know imperfection
and so guard against fraud; detect disease and effect a core
