PERFECT TJiUST.
My boat is on the open sea,
Which storms aud tempest toss;
I know not of the ills to meet
Ileforc I go across.
I do not know how long or short
The fitful vovage maybe:
But patient I'll abide the time
'VVho built the boat for me.
'Tis fullv manned In everj part,
Hope Is the anchor fair;
The compass that it has in Faith,
And every oar is prayer.
Sometimes I see the breakers high,
Th" ocean madly roars,
Bui all I do Is simply this
Bend closer to the oars.
At times the waves run mountain nigh,
And threaten me to strand;
I fear not, for he holds them in
The hollow of his hand.
The fog at times obscures my course,
I see the way but dim:
But well I know I cannot drift
Beyond the sight of him.
I know not where the shoals may lie,
Nor where the whirlpools be,
It Is enough, dear Lord, to feel
That they are known to thee.
And thus content I glide along,
If either slow or fast.
Well knowing he will bring
Me safe to port at last.
THE JIOTIIfEK.
A Letter from Mrs. Gen. Fremont.
Making visits in "Washington one
day, in the spring of 1870, 1 returned
that of Mrs. Garfield, and, after going
into her house, I was a little put out
to be told by the servant (bat "it was
a mistake, for MrB. Garfield was out."
March weather is so rough in "Wash
ington that a throat subject to bron
chitis flinches from passing from tho
shelter of tho carriage across thoso
wide, wind-swept pavements into
the warm houses and back again
oftener than necessary. So when
the servant ran down to aBk that I
would como in again, that "the gen
oral's mother bad read the card and
wished to see mo." I went back,
chiefly moved by the habit of never
willingly disappointing a child or an
aged person. Little children believe
in the good will of every one, while
tho old what disappointments have
they not metl
I was glad then that I did go back.
Now, the historical picture that visit
gave me makes mo speak this word
for the mother of General Garfield.
Mrs. Garfield wished to seo and
know mo because of "my (her)
sou's" (such tender pride in the little
words!) deep interest in the work
for the cause wo all had done our
best for in 1S39 and had continued
to work for until tho war closed that
chapter of the uation's history.
She was very 6inall and quiet, but
full of fresh interest iu tho clear
knowledge of events and men, and
understood large motives ; a woman
who had shared the life of a growing
man and a growing nation. Turn
ing to more personal topics and the
bringing up of boys, which she
dwelt on as so much the -mother's
work, Mrs. Garfield told us of her
own "good son." I had with me a
New York friend, still young and
only knowing surface conventional
life. Her eyes were wet as this
mother told quite simply and as a
matter of course of her lonely early
life and its struggles aud privations,
and now of the exceeding groat ro
gard she had in "my son's" success
and his loviug care for her; of the
place he gave her in his life, and in
this new home where all tho war
and dangers safely ended they were
to dwell together iu pcaco.
Just then General Garfield himself
entered. Hearing I was there he
camo iu to see mc, going first, how
ever, to his mother nud giviug her
the evidently accustomed kiss of
greeting, aud, still holding her haud,
thanked me for "coming back to
please his mother."
So I 6ee them. The little gray
mother at rest in the lovo of a good
son; she so frail and spent with tho
battle of life; ho so nobly stroug and
bright and glad.
It did not look so when I saw him
next, this last May, when the Farra
gut statue was unveiled. The light
bad gone out; both form and face
were stamped with endurance and
hard resolve, in place of the bright,
epontancous courage 60 marked on
hie earlier face. "When a man has
been the target for tho poisoned
arrows of a Presidential campaign,
he may be as stoical as au Indian,
but the scar remains.
And this marked change was still
more noticeable the last time I saw
the president the 17th of June. "We
now know that the following morn
ing, tho ISth of June, had been orig
inally fixed by his assassin as the
time for his act. That morning I,
too, left Washington the same train.
How uuconscious we all were of the
close-coming tragedy !
Something had to be referred to
the president, aud I had gone down
to bco it through the necessary de
partments, ending with an appoint
ment from the president " for 4
o'clock tnis afternoon." I was there
punctually when the president came
in and dropped not sat down, but
let himself go iutoan armed chair;
a fixed sadness was on his face, aud
the loss of all red tinge from tho
skin made me tell him I was glad
they wero both goiugaway from that
unhealthy house. Mrs. Garfield's
dangerous illness had, I knew, great
ly grieved him. Beyond that was
a look of
O, life! how little worth 1
O weary, wtary earth 1
the look of one who has got behind
the scenes and counts the cost and
find 6 it great.
The rest by the 6ea at fated Elber
on restored much of his own man
ner and look, but I did not see him
again. To me be remains as 1 saw
him the first and the last times the
fond good ton, holding the haud of
his little mother, and pleased with
one who had given her a pleasure,
and tho considerate gentleman who,
out of his troubled and crowded
time, had sent for me that he might
say personally what might have
been put in writing.
From the outside no one can
judge, but it seems liko mistaken
kinduess that mother and sou should
have been apart when the end came.
What if it should end his feeble
life? Sho had never counted the
cost of being a mother. For myself
I would have better liked that the
mother heart that answered to his
every baby cry had been beside him
when his great heart broke ; that the
hand I had seen so fondly out
stretched to hers should have found
hers also when he was reaching out
into the great darkness.
This family has been long held
under the burning glass of public
inspection. Out of the scrutiny has
come one unbroken impression of
respect aud teuderest pity. Their
uprightness and simplicity, their
united and blameless domestic life,
their genuine Christian silence and
dignity have rousod to expression
the best underlying feeling of our
whole country, and found response
throughout the world most beauti
fully from England. It was a good
thought to take from death the ad
ded sting of poverty, and the origi
nal sum named has been more than
made up. The -power of tho Amer
ican people rarely finds expression.
Its usual form is only a delegated
power through their representa
tives ; but where they can act direct
ly the expression is singularly true
and forcible. Often our nation has
shown it has the heart to feel and
the hand to give, but nover has it
expressed itself so unitedly nud so
overwhelmingly as now. And I am
sure I speak the feeling of many
and many a son when I suggest that
a part of tho remaining gift of the
people should bo set aside for the
venerable mother of our dead presi
dent. Lookiug back past the ago
ny, past the conflict of power back
to the quiet timo when I saw him in
his home with his mother, I realize
how this would meet his feeling.
lie is beyond our aid. But there
comes before me clearly the bright,
frauk manner of his saying, "Thank
you for giving a pleasure to my
mother." Jessie Benton Fremont,
in JV. Y. Herald.
Why Sonic People Fail to Suc
ceed. They aro lazy.
They neglect details.
They overlook the small things.
Thoy have no eye to business.
They hope lor future to drop in
their laps.
They let their help waste and
destroy.
Thoy let their fires burn at will.
They arc slovenly in their shops.
They let their simps get filthy and
dirty.
They try how cheap they can do
everything.
They fail to advertise.
They have too much outside bus
iness. They talk politics too much.
They fail to invent or have new
Ideas.
The' arc penny wise and pound
foolish.
They iraitato their neighbors.
They arc not polite or accommo
dating. They think most things take too
much trouble
Thoy fail to push business.
They know not- the best is tho
cheapest.
They kuow not the power of
method.
They arc illiberal to home enter
prises. They attend to everything but
their own business.
They become rusty and lose am
bition. The danger arising from impure
drinking water has fresh confirma
tion in the 20 cases of typhoid fever
now reported at Rugby, the new
English colony in Tennessee. It was
designed to get the supply of water
from a shallow artesiau well. As
this gave symptoms of failure, a cis
tern was made, to utilize the rain
water. A 6cvcre drouth sot in, and
the water became foul from decay
ing vegetable and insect matter, and
was unfit for use. The "cistern waB
located near the well, and the foul
water has leaked out and filtered
through to the well. The result is
manifest in tho deadly disease that
has already attacked one twentieth
of the colonists. It is a well estab
lished fact that a large majority of
tho casos of dangerous fevers that
prevail upon farms, may be directly
traced to the consumption of impure
water, or improper drainage. "Wells,
cisterns, cesspools and privies are
too often in close proximity. Let
tho farmers make a note of this.

Mr. J. M. Putnam informs us that
from two swarms of bee's with which
he started last spring, he has now
twelve good swarms, They are of
the Italian stock aud are strong,
hearty workers, and ho expects a
yield of 400 pounds of honey this fall.
With this increase in stock, with the
capital to start with, and this amount
of product in honey, it would seem
to us that this country is well adapt
ed to bees and their products.
Geneva Review.
A colored clergyman called Key.
William Marshall, of Clark county,
Ky., has announced that ho will
"pray for any desired object on re
ceipt of 6eventy-live cents." This
is another new profession which
will, no doubt, necessitate the es
tablishment of a schedule of fees.
Rev. Marshall should at once revise
his price. To pray for one object
must certainly sometimes be worth
more than to pray for another. For
instance, if seventy-five cents would
compensate Mr. Marshall for his
waste of brain tissue and sweat and
nap of his breeches knee when pray
ing that the loves of some money
swain might bo reciprocated, ten
times seventy-five cents would bo
about the proper fee when invited
to wrestle in behalf of a divorse pe
tition. If $1 were charged to pray
for rain and a happy harvest, noth
iug less than $25 should induce this
colored preacher to ask that some
wily sport might reap a rich harvest
at the poker-table. In praying for
tho salvation of some old miser not
more than his soul's value should be
charged, and this would necessitate
dropping below the average seventy-five-cent
fee ; the price of the prayer
guago should mount high, however,
when the call was made for a peti
tion in behalf of certain numbers in
policy, or in behalf of forgiveness
for leaving n neighbor's hou-roost
vacant, or a watermelon patch de
serted. These suggestions arc
thrown out gratuitously for the
benefit of the Rev. Mr. Marshall
when ho comes to mako up his of
ficial schedule of prices.
The Main Road. If a man be
travclingacross the country towards
a large town, ho will find the guide
boards pointing that way, and giviug
him directions as to all turns to be
taken, ho long as ho keeps to the
main road, but if he gets off" the
main road and into by ways, he may
find no guideboards at all with the
name of that town on them, aud may
get little help from any of them, for
the reason it is not supposed people
will be found iu these byways while
seeking to go to that town. It is
very much iu tho same manner that
the most perplexing practical ques
tions of a moral sense often arise
by reason of previous errors that
have been committed. The difficul
ties presented are such as would
never have been met with, if the line
of duty had always been kept before.
This may be poor comfort for one
who has actually fallen into such
entanglements : but it may be a
profitable reflection for other per
sons who are looking on or for him,
as to his getting into the like strains
again. The waymarks of duty and
safety are plainest on the main road.
The best way out of a great many
difficult situations, is to take the way
that docs not lead into them at all to
begin with.
Another Example. A farmer re
siding in F precinct, who is himself
a good farmer, tells us of another
case which vciy forcibly illustrates
what wc have all along claimed that
if tho soil of Nebraska is properly
cultivated it will bring big returns.
Less than a year ago Mr. Samuel
Anstinc bought a farm of 1G0 acres,
a few miles northeast of Utica. Tho
only improvements were a poor
houe and poor barn. He went to
work in tho spring and put in a big
crop of corn, and worked early and
late, doing his work well, and the
consequence is he has a splendid
crop of corn, which if all sold at 40
cents per bushel, the present price,
would bring money enough to pay
for the farm. Mr. Anstinc, wc are
told, is a faithful worker, and judg
ing from his success so far, thor
oughly understands his business.

The Troy Times is entitled to the
belt for discovering the champion
snake of the season. It says: "Mrs.
Van Aukeu, living near Lake
George, was startled one day by the
6ight of a rattle snako muking its ap
pearance in her kitchen where she
was at work, and, Beizing her by tho
skirt, tried to pull her toward the
door. Woman's curiosity at last
overcoming her fear, sho followed
the snake down to the lake, where
she was still more horrified to find
her little daughter on the point of
drowning. Seeing tho little one
fall into the water, it seems that the
snake, with astonishing instinct,
crawled to tho house to give warn
ing." It is expected that Gov. Nance will
issue a proclamation to fill the vacan
cies existing in the legislative dis
tricts at the coming election, and
thus save the expense of special
elections hereafter. Tho voters of
Seward county will be called upon
to elect a member of the House, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the
removal of Hon. II. P. King from
the county. Thero is some proba
bility of an extra session to divide
the state into congressional districts
if the apportionment law to be pass
ed by the next session of congress
should require this to bo a necessity
in order to obtain full representation
for the state. Seward Jieporter.
It is a coincidence of historical
importance that President Garfield
died upon the anniversary of the bat
tle of Chickamauga, where he was
moBt distinguished for gallantry.
This is bnt one of the many remark
ablc'coincidcnces which have been
noted in the life of this remarkable
man. Lincoln Globe.

Fit to cope with anything,
These arc wauted every hour.
Not the weak and whining drones,
Who all troubles tnagnlfv;
Not the watch-word of "I can't,"
But the nobler one, "I'll try!"
Do whate'er you have to do
With u true and earnest zeal;
Bend your sinews to the task,
'Tut your shouldem to the wheel."
Though your duty may be hard,
Look not on it as au ill;
Hit be an honest tusk,
Do it with an honest will.
In the workshop, on the farm,
At tho desk, a here'er you be,
From your future efforts, boys,
Comes a nation's destiny.

Every large city has its Jennie

Experience is too rough a school for

should put many of them on their
guard. Dishonor is tho only eud to
such a course. Tho lovo of flattery
and the importance attached to the
means bclioved to be tho beat adapt
ed to produco it run together to a
common ruin. Thero is no safe
guard outsido of home ties; tho
watchful aflection of a mother aud
the jealous honor of a father. Most
of these misguided girls como from
poor families; and it is their mis
fortune that thoy have been taught
to hate and despise povorty. Their
wants hnvo been educated beyond
their condition or means of gratify

would be for them if they had been
taught from infancy to have simple
tastes, and to love nothing so much

Something" to Remember.
Married people would be hap
pier If home trials were nover told to
neighbors.
If they kissed and made up after
every quarrel.
If household expenses were pro
portioned to receipts.
If they tried to bo as agrpoable as
in courtship days.
If each would try and bo a com
fort to each other.
If each remembered the other was
a human beiug, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their
husbands as they wero lo their
lovers.
If men wero as thoughtful of their
wives as they were of their sweet
hearts. If there wero fewer silk and vel

tidy house dresses.
One of tho ways in which Omaha
imposed upon her country cousins
during the fair was to charge them
double fare upon her street cars.
The conductors, the Republican says,
had tho cheek to ask passengers if
they from the country, and to in
form such'that they were instructed
to charge outsiders ten cents, while
at the same timo they collected but
five cents of those who happened to
reside in the city. Extortion of this
kind never pays. A few incidents
of this nature did more to disgust
some of the visitors to the fair than
all the resources of tho exhibition
did to satisfy them. Lincoln Globe.
A great man is affable iu his con
versation, generous in his temper
and immovable in what he has nat
urally resolved upon. And as pros
perity does uot make him haughty
and imperious, so neither does ad
versity sink him into meanness and
dejection ; for If ever he Bhows more
spirit than ordinary, it is when ho is
ill used and tho world is frowning
upon him. In short, he is equally
removed from the extremes of ser
vility and pride, and scorns to
trample on a worm or cringe to an
emperor.
A man that is of judgment and
understanding, shall sometimes hear
men differ, and know well within
himself that those which so differ
mean one thing, and yet they them
selves would never agree. And if
it comes to pass in that distance of
judgment which is between man and
man, shall wo not thiuk that God
above, that knows the, heart, doth
discern that frail men, in some of
their contradictions intend tho same
thing, and accepteth of both?
