AppeAraaees and Impressions.
Things are not always what they
seem, and vet most men and women
form impressions at first sight- The
impression mav be of a
pleasant and
ecstatic nature or of an epposita char'
acter. In the natural world one is
Awed into reverence and fear at the
warring of the elements, melted into
pity at the calamities which overwhelm
and crush the hearts and homes of the
more unforranate among humanity,
inspired by admiration when contem
plating the wonders of the visible heav
ens or the picturesque landscape.
Flowers and music tend to smooth
down and soften the asperities of na
tures which the world would cau
rough, and kind words and gentle
smiles excite the more genial ana love
able moods into activity. One of the
strangest things for reflection is that
hardly any tw-b persons form the same
impressions of men and things. The
eye may be deceived by what is known
as optical illusion and the ear deficient
in its sense of hearing. As people dif
fer in their mental constitution, so they
differ in the estimates which thev
make of surrounding objects. "Though
a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet," yet the sense of smell is far
more sensitive and appreciative in one
individual than in another. Expe
rience proves that first sight im
pressions are not always accurate
and infallible: since objects viewed
from different standpoints and
through different optics often pre
sent very different aspects. One
is often repelled upon a first introduc
tion, but a more intimate aoinaintance
entirely changes his views as to the
character of some particular person,
and vice versa, the first good impres
sion may be vitiated by the light of
subsequent experience. Therefore, we
should learn that it is not safe to base
too much on first impressions, or to
take appearances as infallible. Time
and place, and circumstance, and mood,
may have much to do in shaping ap
pearances. John Smith, drunk, may
present an odious and disgusting as
pect, but John Smith, sober, in his
right mind, may appear as a most
amiable character. The only safe plan
by which we may form correct and
just views of men and things is through
the medium of study and observations.
Time tries all. and the lessons learned
bv experience are the most valuable.
Though the study of man is very mys
terious, and to know one's self the mosf
difncult of all knowledge: yet the world
generallv gives a man credit for all he is
worth sometimes much more. There
are those who ret credited with beincr I
better and wiser than they really are
others who are put lower down the
scale of character than they should be.
People should neither be hasty nor
harsh in their judgments.
It behoves those who would act as
censors to be cautious and considerate,
lest by unmerciful and unjust censure
they make the offender "ten fold more
the child of hell" than he was before.
Judging by appearances will not do to
trust any more in the matter of dress
than in point of character. The deep
dyed villain mav shine forth in "purple
and fine linen," while the man of- in- i
corruptible integrity and honor may be
doomed to rags. Time, the avenger of
all. will in the end set things right.

THE KAT AXD THE BADGER.
A Rat who hatl grown fat and sleeK
and nested uudisturbed in a Peasant's
Corn Crib was one day visited by the
Badger, who inquired:
"How long since you have had any
cheese?"
"Cheese? Why. I haven't even smelt
the article for a year."
"Ah! me! but you must be a curious
rat not to help yourself to cheese. I
wouldn't -tand it a single hour if I
were in your boots. You will never be
a happy Rat until you have cheese."
After the Badger had gone the Rat
got to thinking the matter over. He
was fat. content and safe, but now that
Cheese had !-een mentioned he felt that
he must have a taste. He left the corn
crib and went nosing around until he
discovered a piet:e of Cheese hung to a
wire. He rushed for it. heard a click,
and turned around to find himself in a
Trap and to hear the Peasant call out:
"Ah! here is another Rat who didn't
know enough to remain in the corn
crib" Moral. Let well enough alone.
THE WHEEL AXD THE WAGON".
Upon an occasion one of the front
wheels of a wagon became sulky and
obstinate, and called out to the other
parts of the vehicle:
"I am tired of being dragged around
as if I had no mind of my own. As
the tongue bends, I must follow, and I
am always behind it. Inotonlyhave
a mind of my own. but unless I can
hereafter run this business I shall re
fuse to move."
The Driverof the vehicle thought the
matter over, and finally told the Wheel
to go ahead.
"The fir-t thing I shall do is to get
out of the du-t." replied the Wheel,
and it made for the grass. It next de
cided that it was easier to travel in the
meadow than upon the highway, and it
balked at every hill and rested so often
that little pmgre-- was made, and two
of the other wheels were finally crowd
ed against the bank and broken.
"Alas! that I did not know better!"
sighed the Driver, as he jumped down
to contemplate the wreck. "One who
undertakes to steer a ship from the
cook's room will surelv bring up on the
beach."

I was sitting one day last week by
Mrs. f?rsvM! wnrk-ta.bli enirsu-ed in
' tbe delightful task of teaching her the
ahell-stitch in crochet, when the door
was ourst open as u a cycione were
coming, and her ten-year-old boy
bounced in. He made a polite bow, it
is true, but I felt that he was a very
unpleasant occurrence, for he stumbled
over mv feet and upset our basket of
worsteds, and seized his mother around
the neck for a whispering in a thor
oughly tumultuous and uncomfortable
way. " He received a gentle rebuke for
his nndue haste and carelessness, and
nermission, evidentlv, to go to the bu
reau drawer, where 1 watched him up-
settmg a pile of clean handkerchiefs
and bringing forth in triumph a fishing-hook!
"Does your mother always let you
treat her places that way, Frank?" I
asked.
The bright, eager face turned upon
me with a surprised look, and then,
with a sunny glance across the table,
said: "Oh! "mother and I are part
ners." Partners! 1 felt a sudden pang in
thinking of my own well-regulated nur
sery, whose clock-like rules permitted
no such invasion of my places by my
young folks.
"1 won't go above the dam, mother."
were the boy's parting words, as the
door closed with a bang that alarmed
the plaster.
'Frank is not always so noisy,"
apologized his mother. "He is very
much excited now, and I must save my
little lecture about his want of consid
eration until it will be more likely to
avail something."
"But do you give your children such
right of way through" all your places?"
I asked, my interest in the shell-stitch
gone.
"Not quite all." she answered, laugh
ing. "I have a few little nooks that are
sacre lly my own: but only a few. Frank
uses the right word when he says we
are 'partners.' and I don't know "when
he has enjoyed anything as much as
being allowed to keep that new fishing-
hook in my pile of handkerchiefs;" and
the mother laughed afresh at the odd
hiding-place the boy had invented.
But I was burdened with a conscious
ness that I should have snnbbed my
young man upon any such unreason
able proposal, and I pressed the discus
sion. "How can you keep any order, or
teach anv orde'r," I asked, rather petu-
t lantlantly. "if you do not insist upon
Vi?nrr Viinnr l-OTif in tTioiT" TfrTit- nlflajS11
"I do try to check the troublesome
propensity to leave thing lying around."
answered my companion; "hut, Elsie,
don't you remember from your own
childhood 'how much nicer and more
secure our mothers' places seemed for
our treasures? That new fishing-hook
is of the same value to Frank that your
diamond ring is to you; more, indeed,
for it gives him more lively pleasure. I
am sure, and no place of his own seemed
good enough for it. It was a very small
sacrifice on my part to allow "him to
tumble my clean handkerchiefs; but the
gratitude it awakened in that precious
little heart has bubbled up and over in
many a kiss and caress that was in
finitely sweet to me.
"He got the word 'partners' from a
story they are fond of hearing me tell,
of a'bit of my own childhood's experi
ence. I had some bad tricks, as a child,
that were hard to correct, and one was
. playing in the fire. Livingin the coun
try" big wood-fires blazed on our hearth
all winter, and seemed an irresistible
temptation to me. Of course I was
punished, time and again, but nothing
ever seemed to cure me. until one day
my mother found me with long pieces
of twisted paper, trying to see how near
the flame I could hold them without
their lighting. Instead of the punish
ment I expected, my mother sat down
by me on the floor, and played in the fire
with me for half an hour. By that
time my craving was satisfied, and the
morbid" fascination that the forbidden
pleasure had exercised over me was
gone. 'Now, Nellie.' said my mother,
as she brushed up the litter, we "are
partners in this game, and it will be
very unfair if you ever try to play it
without me.' I never did, and the idea
of being 'partners' with mother held
me with a strong grasp all my life: it
brought me to her side with" many a
question of this or that, which I am
persuaded most young people settle for
themselves, and often settle the wrong
way."
I began to feel sorry for my poor lit
tle well-managed children, who had
never known the sweetness of playing
"partners" with mamma: but they
were young enough, thank. God. to be
gin yet. and I trusted I was not too old
to learn.
"Aren't you afraid to mist Frank to
goto the mill-stream?" I asked, kis-ing
my friend good-by; it's horridly deep
above the dam."
"He never goes above the dam." she
replied, with proud content: "that's
a part of the partnership." Illustrated

An Insult to the Profession.
A prominent physician was heard
using very uncomplimentary language
about a certain butcher.
"Why is it," asked a friend of the
doctor, "that you abuse that butcher so"
much? You are everlastingly saying
mean things about him."
"Fve got good reason to talk about
him. Last winter I owned a fat pig. I
sent for the butcher to kill and dress it.
He did so, but what do you think he
told me when I wanted to know what
his bill was?"
"I have no idea."
"Well, sir, that butcher parted me on
the back and said: "Never mind about
the bQl, doctor. We are in the same
business, you know. We professional
men must help each other out-' I waa

While one rambled, among the "glorious

depths of the previously.
He told me that veafs ago he had
mild cae of strabismus and that both
eyes seemed to glare down his nose till
he got restless and had them operated
on. Those were the day3 when they
used to fasten a crochet hook under thi
j internal rectus muscle and cut it a lit-
tie with a pair of optical sheep shears.
The effect of this course was to allow
the eye to drift back to a direct line, but
this man fell into the hands of a drunk
en surgeon who cut the muscle too
much and thcrebv weakened it so that
it grauually swung past the point it

This thing continued till he had to
peer into the future with his off eye
closed and vice versa.
It is needless to say that he hungered
for the blood of that physician and

on him and wipe up the ground with

Mrs. Jones' Mistake.
" Maria," said Mr. Jones, wh;n his
wife told him she was going out "riding
that afternoon ."it's going to be hot,
and Til send up a fan and a Japanese
parasol. You put the fan in the mar
tingale and spread it open, and fasten
the parasol in a loop behind the ear."
" Won't that be fly," said Mr3. Jones,
"where did you see them?"
"At the sea-shore." snorted Jones,
"they are the toniest things out."
After dinner the package came. Mrs.
Jones opened it and found a gay paper
fan and a paper parasol.
" Bridget," asked Mrs. Jones, "what
is a martmgle?"
" Shure it's a girth of some sort " an
swered Bridget, shortly.
" Oh. a belt. Why of course it is. I
am to spread the fan in my belt and
Eut the parasol up and fasten it t my
ead. Jeptha said so, the sweet

So Mrs. Jones drove old Tom in the

I of the parasol into her bonnet strings.
and as it was not very large it did not
obstruct the view, and" people stared as
much they did at Jumbo. She felt that
she was setting the style and was more

Jones was awaiting her, the maddest

" You ought to be pasted on a tea

he shrieked. "Don't you know the
difference between a horse and a

" I ought to," said Mrs. Jones,
meekly.
" Yes, you ought to; but you don't.
There you've gone out on the avenue
with a horse umbrella and fan. Why
didn't you wear the rest of the harness?
I tell you what it is, Maria, if you go on

A Remarkable Case.
An old man was arraigned before an
Arkansaw Court for some trifling of
fense, and among the witnesses was an
old woman who, in giving her testimo
ny, made such efforts to shield the old
man that the Judge asked:
" Madam, have you known this man
very long?"
"Yes.sir." the old woman replied.
" I have known him a very long time.
When I was a-young girl this man used
to visit me. In fact. Judge, we were
sweethearts." and she twisted her apron
and looked down.
"Ah, I see!" the Judge replied,
"used to be sweethearts, and think 30
much of each other now because you
did not marry each other then?"
" You are mistaken, Judge, for we did
marry each other then, and are husband
and wife now."
"Indeed!" the Judge exclaimed,

Passenger conductors ia CalifornlA
have about forgotten what the term
4knocking down' means," said the
wearer of a gold-laced cap and brass
buttoned coat to a reporter on a South
ern Pacific Railway train recently; "but
in former days they could have told
you had they a mind to how they
had been able to buy Consolidated Vir
ginia stock, smoke two-bit cigars and
get a new suit of clothes oncea month
without the necessity of goino- vary
deep into their salaries." a
"But the conductors were close
mouthed regarding such transactions
then, and how i3 one to know but thac
with the same quietness and the sam
opportunities on their part now, there
may still be the same number of private
assessments levied on the companies?"
"Yes. I know that'3 what peopla
seem to think; but I will give you my
word of honor that, so far as my knowl
edge in the matter extends, such is not
the case. It isn't because the con
ductors are any more honest nowadays
than formerlv. but because thev run
r greater risks."'
"How is that?"
"Well, there is a system of private
surveillance going on nearly aU the
while, a sort or railroad detective
agency, which practlcallv precludes the
chance of a man knocking down as
much as fifty cents a day. This system
is maintained at a cost" which far ex
ceeds the amount that might be di
verted from the coffers of the company
by the conductor who looks out for the
main chance.or who strives to make up
in 3aiarv what he loses in social
comfort bv being
away from his
for twentv-four
home and family
days of the month. I do not know
that this system is necessary to the aims
of the company, though "it certainly
terred from 'knocking down' if he were
given to understand thaw there were
detectives aboard his train, even though
there were not, as he would if each
passenger had been secretly constituted
a ferret for the railroad. "There is a
better opportunity for a freight con
ductor to add to his monthly stipend
than there is on the biggest "passenger
train now running on this coast. There
a man has everything his own way, and,
by standing in with the brakemen. h
may reserve for his own use a good
share of what turns up in he way of
non-ticketed passengers. Then. too. a
man on $60 or$75 a month can peculate
with better conscience than one who is
receiving $100 or $125, unless the latter
has some grudge against the company
and most of them manage to work
up such a grudge on slight pro vocation.
My solution of the question." continued
the conductor, as he winked his eye
significantly, "would be to allow con
ductors sutneient salary to place them
above the temptation of appropriating
the company's cash."
"Can the'ferrets always be relied oa
by the company?"
""No. Occasionally the railroad
employs the wrong man for a detective.
An incident occurred not long ago
where a passenger in the same seat with
a spotter turned in $4.50 for fare and
the conductor failed to make any ac
count of it to the company. Instead of
reporting the misappropriation the
spotter made the conductor come down
with $4 and left only fifty cents in the
hands of the latter, who. though some
what disgusted at such treatment,
doubtless considered himself lucky to
fall in with a man who was on the same
lay as himself. Even as it was, he
expected to be switched off for a month
or so after the incident. San Francisco

SAmmy Bumgarten is a Pennsylvania
JJutchman his ancestors have lived in
the neighborhood of Middleburg, Sny
der Countv, Pa., for two hundred years.
And he still cultivates the farm of his
great-grandfather. His wife, sons and
daughters are Pennsylvania Dutch to
the backbone. Only Sammy and the
boys ean speak English, which they
have picked up in the outside world.
Home-made Dutch is the language of
the familv- Sammy is forty years old.
Nothing has ever happened till last win
ter, to dam up the even flow of his life.
He has cultivated his farm and raised a
little corn and wheat, cattle, pigs and
horses; while in the winter the monot
ony of life was varied by trips up tho
Shade mountains to cut white pine
shingles on the property of the New
Tork speculator whose lands adjoined
his. and who in despair had given up
writing lettera to his agent complaining
of the disappearance of the white pina
from his tract. Reason enough there
was; for Sammy and his ancestors had
been poaching shingle cuttings for
many generations.
Lasc winter oue morning the whola
family left the farm and went up tis
mountain "to cut shingles father,
mother, three red-cheeked girls and two
big-shouldered sons. High above the
valley Sammy cut down a big white pine
that grew out of a mass of boulders. It
was dinner time when the tree fell, and
they all sat down on the root to eat
their scrabble and pie. While thus oc
cupied Mrs. Bumgarten picked up a
little piece of stone, in which were
imbedded
particles of matter that
shone like silrer. " Pop, it s
silver," she said. "I read in the papers
how silver look3.'' A few knocks with
the Axe revealed the fact that all the
rocks wer filled with the shining par
ticles; and from that time forth the
New York speculator's white pine was
respected. The family marched down
the mountain, and set'to work talking
and dreaming about the silver mine
Sammy used up the savings of a life
time in buving. at a dollar an acre, a
strip of the mountain side
of a thous
and acres containing the rocks. He
bought it from the New York man, who
remarked, that as Sammy had cut the
timber off without paving for it. ha
thought it waa a generous act to come
forward and buy the bare rocks.
When the purchase was completed
and the ded recorded at Middlebarg,
Sammy sat down and wrote the follow
ing letter to a Wall Street man. whos
name his wife found in the paper.

Surround your children when as
home with objects and influences which
will make their minds best able to en
joy and expand under the teachings of
the public instructor If they see you
surround the home with beautiful
things, because you love them, they
will do so, too. If they see your garden
arranged for beauty as well as utility,
while all over the" homestead stern
economy yields to a reverential love of
mature, and to a sense that the gratifica
tion of the eye and the mind is quite a3
important as the gratification of the
appetite, they will grow up with liberal,

will be men and women who have the
