111.? Pifi?n'* Meal Bag.
Tho parson eat in his house ono day,
When wintry storm did rage.
High-rapt he drank in lofty, thought
f.-om Hooker's classic page;
Bat as ho sat, and holy breath
Into his breast did steal,
His a weet wife oped the door and said,
* 'My dear, we hare no meal."
With a deop groan and saddened brow,
Ho laid asido his book,
And in despair upon tho hearth
With troubled air did look;
"My people think that I must break
To them the bread of Heaven,
Bnt they will not givo me bread enough
Three wholo days ont of seven.
"But hunger is a serious thing,
And it is hard to hear
Sweet children's mournful cry for broad
Loud ringing in your ear.""
So straight he mounted his old horse,
With meek and humblo will,
And on his meal-bag, patched and coarse,
He journeyed to tho mill.
The miller bowed to bim, and aaid,
"Sir, by your church steeple,
I vow I givo you praise for this,
But none to your church people,"
Again ho mounted his old horse,
He had no time to lag
And rodo liko hero to his house,
Bight on lus old meal bag.
But as he rodo ho overtook
A proud and rich layman.
Who, with a close, astonished gaze,
Tho parson's bag did scan.
"My reverend sir, the truth to toll,
It makes mo fool quite wroth,
To Bee you compromise this way
The honor of your cloth.
"Why told you not, my honored friend,
Your meal waa ruumug low;
What will the neighbors think of us
If to tho mill you go?"
"My wealthy friend, tho parson said,
"You must not reason so;
For bo assured a settled thing,
My meal ia always low.
"If my dear peoplo wish to know
How to promote my bliss,
I'll simply say, a bagot moal
W?l never como amiss;
Just kcop tho store-room well supplied,
And I will kcop right still;
But if tho meal runa out agaiu,
I must go to tho mill."
JE l iai Navigation.
Are wo at last in a fair way to solve
the problem of navigating the air i
successfully ? All attempts have hith- j
erto failed, including tho recent ono !
of the French terouaut, Nadar; but
the enthusiasm of soaring genius is
not to be damped by failure, and a
machine is now being built in San
Francisco, which, in tho opinion of a
leading journal of that city, holds
out fair nromise of achieving tho
long sougut result. This machino is
called the "Avitor," or "Hermes"
the former being the generic titlo of
the system, and tho hitter tho name
of the special maohine now building.
The journal from which these facts
are taxen gives nearly two long co?
lumns to a minute description of tho
apparatus, its painciples of construc?
tion and locomotive direction, but
the chief features are these:
"The materials are bamboo, iron,
steel and shirting muslin, coated with :
a peouliar varnish. The shape is
that of a hybrid between a fish and a
short-billed, short-necked bird, with
wings expanded. The dimensions
are: Length, 80 feet; height, 20 feet;
greatest diamoter, 21 feet. The mo?
tive power is stoam, applied by a
series of propellers of original shape
and arrangement. Tho cubic contents
of the gas-bag or balloon are 14,600
feet, to be filled with pure hydrogen.
"This novel machine depends on
three principles for sustenation in
the air. First, the buoyancy of the
gas with which it is inflated; second,
the support derived from its own
bulk, increased by its wings expanded
on either side; third, the motion of
its propellers wheu set at a suitable
angle. To rise to any height, it is
claimed it needs but to place its pro?
pellers at an anglo of forty-five de?
grees or less, depress its movable
.wings ten or twenty degrees, give its
tail a twist, and it will describe a
number of spiral circles until it
attains the height required. While
the gas-holdor remains in good order,
and the wings remain in position, it
cannot fall so rapidly as to endanger
the lives of passengers, oven though
the engine was to get out of repair.
"The steering and directing ma?
chinery is arranged much after the
manner of a ship's t'udder and wheel,
combined with tn apparatus for
swiftly changing the relative position
and direction of the wings nud pro?
pellers."
Such, in brief, are the peculiar fea?
tures of this experimental air-cur,
and the enterprise is undertaken by a
company of sanguine capitalists,
styling themselves "The ./Erial Steam
Navigation Company of San Fran?
cisco." Whatever be the result of tho
experiment, it is certainly a highly
interesting one, in many points ol
view, and wo shall await tho intelli?
gence of the trial trip with consider?
able interest.-Mobile Register.
The Japanese in Paris have taught
the cooks at the "Grand Hotel" how
to "bake" ice cream. Freeze your
ice as hard aa possible, wrap it
quickly in a very thin crust of pastry,
and put it in an oven. The pastry
will be baked before the ice melts,
(for the pastry is a good non-con?
ductor of heat;) serve hot, and yon
may enjoy the pleasure of eating hot
pastry and ice cream at the same
time.
Short dresses have exposed ladies'
feet, and those who have large ones
ara not enraptured with the change
in the fashion. The Peruvian wo?
men Uko to have small understand?
ings, and so hove their little toes
amputated. It is now rumored tbat
a leading New York hair-dresser has
imported a surgeon from Lima to
mutilate tho feet of his female cus?
tomers.
"Papa," said a terrible infant at
the breakfast table, "can fishes run?"
"No, my son," said papa, with duo
dignity, "fishes do not run; they
swim by using their fins and tails."
"Well, then, what did Cousin Sophie
mean when sho said that yon looked
in the morning liko the last run of
shad?"
The question, 1 'Does getting drunk
advance ono's happiness?" would
seem to bo put to rest by the gentle?
man who went courting when drunk,
and when asked what pleasure he
found in whiskey, replied, "Oh,
Nelly, it's a thrate to see two of your
swate porty faces instead of one."
A young lady possessing more
vanity than personal charms, remark?
ed in a jesting tone, but with au
earnest glance, that "she traveled on
her good looks." A rejected lover
being present, remarked that "he
could now account for the young lady
never having been far from home."
"Ah," said Seraphina, speaking on
.some subject on which her feelings
were enlisted, "how gladly I would
embrace an opportunity." "Would I
were an opportunity!" interrupted
her bashful lover. So they embraced,
and mingled their tears together.
A largo bod of paint, of various
colors and of superior quality, has
been discovered in the township of
Pine Plains, seven miles from Alle?
gan, Mich. It is three miles in
length.
A blunder in tho make-up of a
New York paper placed tho arrange?
ments for the funeral of Police Com?
missioner Pergen under the head of
"Out-door Sports."
