THE EVENING CLOUD.
A clouU lay cradled near the setting sun;
A gleam of crimson tinged Us braided snow.
Long lod ? watched the g.ory moving on.
O'er *.he still radiance of the lake below.
TrazK'oil its spirit see in'd and floated slow!
Even ls its very motion there was rest.
Wail" every breath of eve that chanced to Wow
WaftoO the traveler to tho beautiful west
Emblem, methought, of the departed soul!
To whose white robe the gleam of bliss is given,
And hy the breath of mercy made to roll
Eight onward to tho golden gate of heaven.
Where to the eye cf Faith lt peaceful iles
And : ills to man his glorious destinies.
-John Wilson.
A Lesson froiu the liaby.
Man. as he conies into the world, pre?
sents a condition it would be well for
him to follow in all his af ter life. The
sweetest minstrel ever sent out of para?
dise cannot sing a newborn child to
sleep on an empty stomach. We have
known rcckles-> nurses to give the little
ones a dose of paregoric or soothing
syrup in place of its cup of milk, when
it was too mach trouble to get the latter,
but this is tho one alternative. The
little stomach of the sleeping child, as it
becomes gradually empty, folds on it?
self in plaits; two of these make it rest?
less; three will open its eyes, but by care?
ful soothing these may be closed again;
four plaits and the charm is broken;
there i;. no more sleep in that household
until that child has been fed. It seems
to us so strange that with this example
before their eyes full grown men ara so
slow to learn the lesson.-American An?
alyst. _
The Literary Standard In America.
We say in all seriousness, that in this
new country, drank with prosperity and
besotted as it is with material ideals, the
literary standard is as high as ever it was
?in the v.-orld; and tliat the literary per
formar :e is of an excellence which is
only not conspicuous because it is so
general If any one doubts it, let him
compare an average piece of fiction in
The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century,
or Scril mer's, or Harper s with an aver?
age piece of fiction in BIackwood*s or
Frazer's, or Tinsely's of fifty years ago;
or an average essay in one of our period?
icals with an average essay of the best
English time; or an average poem of our
cay with aa average poem of the
4'splendid and unsurpassed literature of
the past;** or an average review in the
Sunday papers with the "really capable
criticism** of the heyday of English re?
viewing.-W. D. Howells in Harper's.
Hark Twain Not a Ladies' Man.
On one occasion Clemens was standing
against ft lamp post and holding a cigar
box under his arm. Mrs. Capt. Edward
Poole, a very beautiful woman, and as
bright end as witty as beautiful, came
along and stopped and held out her had,
saying: **Y\V\ Mark, where are you
going in such a hurry?* *Tm m-o-o-v
i-n-g," drawled Mark, at the same time
opening the cigar box, disclosing a pair
of blue socks, a pipe and two paper col?
lars.
He had never cared for the ladies, was,
hi fact, a fish out of water when lie hap?
pened to be near them. While employed
on the daily Alta, having secured em?
ploy ment there after leaving The Call, he
called a: a dressmaker's establishment
and for ten minutes addressed a wax fig?
ure of a lady before discovering his mis?
take.-Boston Transcript.
About Cold and Hot Air.
A good many people are afraid of cold
air, especially at night, shutting them?
selves in close bedrooms, where their
systems are poisoned and their constitu?
tions gradually undermined by breathing
the bad air. And even hot or warm air
that is pure, air in a room that has venti?
lation as weil as heat, is debilitating
where breathed all night. Pulmonary
complaints are inevitably and exclusive
ry caused by foul indoor air, and cured
l?y pure, especially by cold, pure, outdoor
air. The remedial influence of fresh air
xs so much increased by a low tempera?
ture ti iat "colds** are, in fact, far more
curable ia midwinter than in midsum?
mer.- Herald of Health.
A Recent discovery About Light.
Recently a wonderful discovery has
been made. A beam of sunlight is made
to pass through a prism, so as to produce
what is called the solar spectrum, or
rainbow. The disc is turned, and the
colored light of the rainbow is made to
break through it. Kow, place the ear to
a vessel containing silk, wool or other
material. As the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
giveniby different parts of the spectrum,
and fl jere will be silence in other parts.

Love.
Love, amidst the other graces in thia
world, ?3 like a cathedral tower, which
Logins on the earth, and, at first, is sur?
rounded by the other parts of the struc?
ture. But at length, rising above but?
tressed walE, and arch, and parapet, and
pinnacle, it shoots spire like many a foot
right into the air, so high that the huge
cross on its summit glows like a spark in
thc morning light, and shines like a star
in the evening sky, when the rest of the
pile is enveloped in darkness. So Love
here is surrounded by the other graces,
and divides the honors with them; but
thev w ill liaro felt the wrap of nigbtand
darkness when it will shine, luminous,
against the sky of eternity. - Henry
Yv'ard Beecher.

AN OLD FASHIONED LAWYER'S FIGHT
Gen. Reuben Davis' Encounter with a
Judge Who Had Fined Ulm.
In his racy book, "Recollections of
Mississippi." Gen. Reuben Davis gives
the following account of a personal en?
counter he once had with a judge who
had fined him ?? contempt:
My patience gave way, and I felt my?
self in a perfect blaze of sudden fury. I
had in my pocket a very fine knife with
a long, thin blade. As I sprang to my
feet I drew out this knife, opened it and
threw it point foremost into the bar,
looking steadily at the judge all the
while. My object was to induce the
judge to order me to jail and then to at?
tack him on the bench. The knife vi
brated, and the weight of the handle
broke the blade near the handle. Gen.
8. J. Gholson and several others ran
upon the bench beside the judge, ordered
the sheriff to adjourn the court and car?
ried the judge out of the court room,
while a number of persons seized me.
Judge Howry being withdrawn, prudent
men among my personal friends con
demned my action and appealed to me
to let the matter stop. I agreed to this.
Intending to pass straight to my hotel,
I saw Judge Howry come forward to?
ward the place where I was standing. I
awaited .his approach .and when close to
me asked him if he had intended by his
fine to insult me. He said "No." I then
said I had been guilty of no offense to
justify such an indignity and requested
an explanation. He replied, "I do not,
sir, explain my official conduct to any
man."
In a moment I had slapped him on the
face with my open hand. By some acci?
dent a claw hammer had been left on
the floor near by; he seized this and
struck at me violently, while I got from
my pocket the broken knife and opened
it. The blow of his hammer fell upon
my head, cutting through my hat and
several files of paper to the bone. I made
another stroke at his jugular with the
corner of my knife blade. This blow
fell upon his jaw and I seized him with
my left hand by the collar and pushed
my head into his face. He struck again
willi the hammer, breaking and depress?
ing the outer plate of my pk;?U bone, but
oot until I had inflicted three more cuts
upon his jaw. As wc were pulled apart
de gave me the third blow. I went tc
my room and sent the judge a message
not to leave his room unarmed, as I
would attack him on sight.
The court met again that evening. 1
had put on a fur cap, with the back part
before, to conceal my wounds, and the
judge wore his overcttat, with the collar
areli drawn up, J& hide the tokens cf
xxnhat on his person. I did not meet
Judge* Howry for seven yeara after this
iffair. I had gone to Pontotoc to attend
he Federal court and was sitting in a
xx>m with Roger Barton and Chancellor
Chalmers was sent for from below. He
oon returned and said to me: "I sup
)Ose, Davis, you care nothing about that
iffair between you and Judge Howry?"
. promptly replied that I thought noth*
ng of it, that Howry was a gentleman,
md that our difficulty was casual and
vithout malice. Chalmers then said
hat Howry was below and would be glad
o come up to Barton's room. He did so,
md I met him at the door and we
greeted each other in the most cordial
nanner. Until his death no two men
ould be more sincerely friendly tlian we
outinued to be. I shall always believe
hat he went down to his grave without
Inding out what led to our quarrel that
lay, and I am perfectly certain that I
hall go down to mine in equal ignor
nce, unless he comes back to tell me.
Del grits of Tobogganing.
You sit astride your toboggan, and
s-hen it begins to rush down the descent
.long a road as hard as iron, with the
peed of light, your first feeling is that
ou would give everything you have in
he world to be anywhere but where you
re. There is, however, a wonderful
ascination about rushing through the
risp, sharp air, taking corners cleverly
>y means of guiding pegs, and sailing
[own triumphantly on to the broad
osom of the lake. So many accidents
lad, however, taken place upon the lake
un that we of the awkward squad were
lisposed to give it a wide berth. A snow
torm altered, however, *me complexion
.f affairs.
Two or three inches of snow on the
i ard, slippery track made the pace less
apid; and if, blinded by the snow and
he monotonous whiteness above, below
nd around, you ran off the course,
s I di?i> you and your sledge simply ^
oiled over half a dozen times in the soft j
now without the inconvenience of
?roken bones, much less of a broken
ieck. I cannot close this letter without
Hading to the effect of this glorious

A Small Boy's Beaconing.
In a small city in western Wisconsin
here is a small boy who lives with his
arents. One day not long ago he and
iis mother were walking quietly down
treet when the little fellow'noticed a
lumber of young cattle grazing along
he edge of the sidewalk. Said he:
'Mamma, I wish Mr. So-and-So would
:eep his 'halfers' off the street." His
aether, thinking to correct his pronun
iation, said: "Uniera, Paul, not
iialfers.' " The boy looked at her a mo
aent and replied: "No, mamma; I think
'm right in this matter. Ain't they half
cow and half a calf' 1 guess they are.
nd according to that they ure 'halfers,' "

Unlucky Thirteen.
From the fact of Christ's betrayal by
Judas the latter is supposed to have been
the original of the unlucky thirteenth
who brings disaster upon a feast. This
superstition is very general, and so strong
has it been in France in particular that in
Paris there existed years ago, and may
very possibly now, a cl?ssof professional
diners out called Quatorzi?mes, whose
business it was to be always prepared
with a dress suit handy for summons to
take the place of some recreant guests,
and thus prevent an assemblage of the
unlucky thirteen. In regard to the or?
ganization of "Thirteen Clubs" it may be
observed that this superstition has never
been considered to hold good except where
the number thirteen has occurred acci?
dentally. The absurdity, therefore, of
the formation of special clubs to meet on
the 13th, to dine at 13 tables or to do any?
thing else with 13 in it, becomes at once
obvious. Such institutions do not fill the
bill.-New York Herald.
Flowers in Cairo.
The famous bouqueti?res (women bou?
quet makers) of Paris begin their train?
ing in the florists' shops by the arrange?
ment of bridal bouquets, and after that
they learn the mingling of colors. Paris
claims to be the home of flowers. They
grow in tlie gardens of its surrounding
countryside-the orchids at Chatillon,
the roses at Montrouge or Fontenay, hy?
acinths at Boulogne and lilacs at Neuilly.
The mimosa, the tea rose and some of
the commoner flowers come from the
south in quantities. The costlier flow?
ers are reared in Paris and its environs,
and as a rule, are bought and worn there.
The Parisienne must have flowers in lier
box at the theatre, in her drawing room,
on the muff, in her hair, in the bodice of
her dress and in her attic window.

A Remedy for Bum?. %
The celebrated German remedy for
burns consists of 15 ounces of the best
white glue broken into small pieces in
2 pints of water and allowed to become
soft. Then dissolve it by means of a
water bath and add 2 ounces of glycerine
and 0 drachms of carbolic acid; continue
the heat until thorously dissolved. On
cooling this hardens to ac elastic mass
covered with a shining, parchment like
skin, and may be kept for any length of
time. When required for use it is placed
for a few minutes in a water bath until
sufficiently liquid and applied by means
Df a broad brush. It forms in about two
cninutes a shining, smooth, flexible and
nearly transparent skin.-New Orleans
