The Way We Did It.
BY WILLIAM 1IAUGIITON .
We made our home as bright and fair
As willing hands could make it,
It laughed with sunshine everywhere,
And many a cozy nook was there
When Maggie came to take it ;
.Just such a spot where love might dwell,
And loyal hearts protect it well.
But, oli! the sunlight and the song,
The heaven and joy that thrilled it ;
The love that made its life so strong,
And shed sweet music all day long,
Was one dear life that filled it ;
Sweet angel by the hearth was she,
Who gave her girlhood love to me.
The shadows fall, as fall they must ;
The tempest raved around us ;—
Full many a hope lay in the dust,
And yet our faith looked up in trust
To Him whose blessings found us—
We shut the door in sorrow's face
And kept for love the inner place.
We called our troubles kinder names,
And put them in love's keeping—
We heard, but laughed at pleasure's claims,
At fortune, worst of tickle dames,
And kissed away our weeping—
We took life's burdens, heart to heart,
Each seeking most the heavier part.
Some day the Master's voice will call
And one of ns must hear it—
Pale death anil darkness, shroud and pall,
May come, but M ill not end it all—
We wait, but do not fear it.
For parted hands again will press,
1 he hands they love, In blessedness.
Eliminating Over Old Timet and the
Force of Habit.
The Old Homestead.
Ah, here it is, the dear old place,
Unchanged through all these veins,
How like some sweet familar face
My childhood's home appears.
The grand old trees behind the door,
Still spread their branches wide ;
Tlie river wanders as of yore,
With sweetly running tide ;
The distant hills look green and gray,
The flowers are blooming wild;
And everything looks glad to-day
As when I was a child.
Regardless now the years have llown,
Half wondering I stand,
I catch no sound, endearing tone,
I clasp no friendly hand;
1 think my mother's smile to meet,
I list my father's call.
I pause to hear my brother's feet
Come bounding through the hall;
But silence all around me reigns,
A chill creeps through my heart;
No trace of those I love remains,
And tears unbidden start.
What though the sunbeams fall so fair,
What though the budding flowers
Still shed their fragrance on the air
Within life's golden hours;
The living ones that clustered here
These walls may not restore;
Voices that filled my youthful ear
Will greet my soul no more.
And yet I quit the dear old place
With slow and lingering tread,
As when vre kiss a clay cold face
And leave it with the dead.

Habits are curious things. Ben
Franklin or some other philoso-
pher said that man was a bundle
of habits. Good habits stick to a
man, and so do bad ones; and,
therefore, it is well to be cautious
about forming 'em. I heard a
preacher say once that not one
man in ten thousand ever changed
his habits after he was forty-five
years old. At home he wants the
same chair to sit in, and the same
bed to sleep in, and the same kind
of clothes to wear. If children are
raised to brush their teeth and
comb their hair and keep their
finger nails clean, they will do it
all their lives. If they begin early
to chew tobacco and smoke, they
will never quit it. A man is
right-handed or left-handed, ac-
cording to habit, and he will put
on the same boot or shoe or
stocking first every morning with-
out thinking about it. Settled
habits, if they are good ones, are
like settled religion. There is a
power of comfort in 'em, and a
man is not happy if he makes a
change. I wouldn't change a
Methodist to a Baptist if I could,
nor vice versa, and I wouldn't run
a Jew down to convert him to
Christianity. There is light enough
for him if he wants to see it. I
would raise the light and raise it
high, and I would raise it in all
lands where everybody could see
it, but I don't want anybody to
come slipping around me or my
children to proselyte us from the
faith of our fathers. If a man has
a reasonable faith that makes him
a good citizen and a good nabor,
and a friend in need, let him live
in it and die in it, but if he has a
faith that is cruel and makes him
sacrifice his wife or children or do
violence to humanity, he ought to
be worked upon and converted
even if it took a maul or a jail to
do it.
Habits are the greatest comfort
of old age—that is, good habits
are, and old people seldom have
any other sort, for bad habits
generally wear out a man before
he gets old. Nearly all the old
people are temperate and careful
and good natured, and they are
wedded to their habits. I know a
cashier of a bank who, for thirty
years had walked twice a day to
his office and back home again,
and he had to pass a certain block
of buildings, and so when the bank
was moved to another square he
kept on walking by his same old
block though there was a much
nearer and better way. I was
ruminating over the force of habit
because I called on an old gentle-
man the other day who is nearly
four score years, and he was
bright and cheerful and his face
was shaved just as clean, and his
stand-up collar was right under
his ears, and he had on the 'same
kind of clothes he always wore
ever since I knew him, and on his
desk was a half dozen pens made
of old gray goose quills, and he
won't use any other kind. Those
quill pens carried me about forty-
five years, when John Norton
taught us the rudiments, and I can
see him now as plain as a photo-
graph, standing up by the windows
making our pens, trimming them
down and splitting the points on
his thumb nail. He had a white-
handled knife with three blades,
and it had made thousands of
pens, and the handle had wrapped
us boys on the head thousands of
times. But Joseph Gillott came
along one day, and the old gray
goose had to take a back seat and
retire from literature, except with
a few true friends like Major Wal-
lace. 1 like the quill pen myself,
for they write softer and more
melodious, but I can't get 'em, and
if I could I couldn't keep 'em in
order. Bart Terhune was a close
observer and a good penman and
an expert in that line, and I re-
member when a deed dated in
1830 was offered in evidence in
court, it was believed to be a
forgery, and Bart was put on the
stand as a witness, and swore that
he had carefully examined it, and
it was written with a steel pen,
and steel pens were not invented
until 1837, and so the deed
was rejected by the jury, and the
feller lost his land.
Colonel Wallace talked about
the good old primative times with
an unction, but he is a man of
progress, and keeps up with the
new. He used to go off on a visit
or on business, and sometimes he
walked and sometimes he went in
a batteau, and sometimes he rode
in the big wagon that was high
up before, and higher up behind,
and swayback in the middle, and
when the women folks got in or
out the men folks took off the
hind gate and held it for a step, 1
and would lift 'em up or let 'em j
down easy. But since then the'
colonel has built railroads and run
'em, and now he is running 'em
all over the State, and he runs 'em
well. He is the biggest railroad
king I know of, and the courts,
and the people have indorsed him.
If he had never done anything
else for the country he deserves a
monument for his service on the
railroad commission. We talked < aS°
about the old times when a dollar
was a power of money to a coun-
try youth and postage twenty-
five cents on a letter, and they
were sealed with a red wafer, and
were never prepaid, and some-
times a poor fellow had to leave
it in the office a week until he dug
up or grubbed up the money to
pay for it. In those days nobody
but gamblers wore beards and all
decent men were clean shaved,
and that's how all of that genera-
tion got the habit ot shaving and
the habit sticks to 'em yet. None
of the presidents before Lincoln's
day wore beards and no other
men, and it gives all the more
character and expression to
their faces, for if you want to know
all about a man you must see his
mouth and his chin as well as his
eyes and his nose. Those was the
times when a fiddle was believed
to be the devil's music, for it was j

A Paris dispatch announcesIBe
death of Cora Pearl, the famous
courtesan, and says that she died
poor, her recent "memoirs" having
a poor sale.
She was an English woman,
born in one of the outlying dis-
tricts of London about fifty years
Her real name was Eme-

chapter from the "Almanach de

in the country around there, and
Cora used to join her guests in
that sport. She understood hors-

shot. She paid personal attention
to the breeding of hunting dogs,

in her kennels. The last admirer

drive a dray than do nothing. 1
know several young men who
would honor a dray better than a
lawyer's office. But if a young man
can't get a clerkship in a store and
can't stoop to the dray and has no
money to buy a farm, let him go
and live with some diligent, pro-
gressive farmer and work for him
a year or two and he will never re-
gret it. He will grow strong and
have good muscle and enjoy his
food, and he will learn things that
will be of advantage to him all his
life. It is work, hard work, con-
stant work that gives a man a
habit of work and a love for it, and
brings such a green and fresh old
age as Colonel Campbell Wallace
enjoys. He says when he was a
little boy he went to a party to see
the folks take laughing gas and
shin-dig around, and a tall, digni-
fied, solemn man, about like
Judge Bleckley, tried it, and when
the gas took effect he walked
slowly to the middle of the room,
and looking around upon the crowd
said with great earnestness :
"Honor and shame from no con-
dition rise.
Act well your part; there all the
honor lies."
The colonel said it made a deep
impression on his mind, and he
never avoided work because it
was humble. He has a pitiful con-
tempt for those young men who
bank on blood and ancestry, and
amagine they are too good to
work. They are as big fools as
the young ladies who bank on
their beauty, a thing that won't
last long, and which they had no
hand in creating. A young lady
ought to be thankful for her good
looks, but when she is vain of it
she shows a mental weakness that
is delightful to those who envy
her. Colonel Wallace says he was
one time trying to run down the
line of his own pedigree, and was
asking his grandfather all about
the boys, way back yonder, and
what become of Jim and Jack and
Walter and so on, when suddenly
the old man said, "Well, as to
Wat, I don't know what did be-
come of him finally, but the last
time I heard of him he stole a bag
of taters off a flat-boat and they
took him down in a cane-brake
and whipped him." Jesso. That
was a bad habit of Wat's!

We find some of the baking pow-
ders advertised as pure, to con-
tain, under the tests of Profs.
Chandler, Habirshaw and others,
nearly twelve per cent, of lime, , , . ,
, ; kneed jennet. Marriage has been
while others are made trom alum ...
chariot team, which usually con-
sists of a blind jack and a mooly
cow, or a scrubby calf and a knock-
with no cream of tartar. This, we
presume, accounts for their lack
of leavening power as sometimes
complained of by the cook, and
for the bitter taste found in the
biscuits so frequently complained
of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of
the work done by these powders,
the physiologists assure us that
lime and alum taken into the sys-
tem in such quantities as this are
injurious. They are not decom-
posed by heat nor dissolved in
mixing or baking. They go with
the bread, therefore, into the stom-
ach, where their physiological ef-
fects are indigestion, dyspepsia,
or worse evils.
The question naturally arises,
why do these cheap baking pow-
der makers use these things ?
Alum is three cents a pound, lime
still cheaper, while cream of tartar
costs thirty-five or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity of
the Royal Baking Powder were
recently given in the New York
Times, in an interesting descrip-
tion of a new method for refining
argols, or crude cream of tartar.
It seems that it is only under this
process that cream of tartar can
be freed from the lime natural to
it and rendered chemically pure;
that the patents and plant for this
cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half a million dol-
lars, and that they maintain ex-
clusive control of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late Chief
chemist of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, D. C.,
in the interests of commerce, made
an examination of this process,
and reported upon the results at-
tained in the refined cream of tar-
tar. The following extract from
his report would seem to answer
the question repeated at the head
of this article, and which is so
likened to flies on a dining-room
window—all on the outside are
butting their heads against the
glass to get in, and all on the in-
side are butting their heads against
the glass to get out; and go which
way it will, there is always a pane
ahead of them. In view of all the
chances, the only wonder is that

Wiggins, the weather prophet,
declares that we are to have a
terrific storm about September the
20th, which willl fairly lift the
hair from a man's head. The
storm, according to Wiggins, will
devastate the Atlantic coast and
finally fetch up against the Rocky
Mountains. What will become of
the mountains the prophet doesn't
tell us. As Texas seems to be
outside the storm belt, we will
have to content ourselves this year
with a political cyclone, which,
the Times can predict with reason- j
abl certainty, will strike a number
of aspiring candidates about
August nth. Galveston will be

Success on the Farm.
Success on the farm is not
measured by the number of bales
of cotton raised, nor by the
amount of cash handled during
the year. That man is most suc-
cessful who surrounds himself with
the comforts of life, who keeps
out of debt, who makes his family
happiest and who gives them the
best advantages for mental, moral
and physical culture. The care-
ful cultivation of the field crops is
important, but the cultivation of
happiness and intelligence in the
home circle is far more important.
