Our Baby girl, our litte one,
An opening bad of mystery,
An everlasting hope begun l
Our baby is a sunny thing,
A sunny thingfoflove and light,
A little blosaom of the spring,
A tiny lily, sweet and white,
Her eyes are of the softest bl no,
And in the whiteness of her face
Are like the sky gaps breaking through
A pearly cloud in summer days.
Our baby's arms are little wings
'l‘hat‘flufiterplnmeless in :tlie air ;
And in her infant-crowing ,sings
The angel music unaware.
A sweetness clings to all her flesh.
Like early grasses steeped in dew .
And in her silky hair, the fresh. : l
Faint odors that‘from‘ Heaven she drew.
.A thousand things our Baby knows.
A thousand things she cannot tell ;
For‘she remembers Eden’s rose,
And sunny banks ofaspbodel ;
And she has not forgotten, quite,
The'dglory of her home above ;
She' sees it in the smile of light,
She sees it in the smile of love.
Our Baby answers them in smiles
AI full of light and love as they,
And draws our elder hearts. with wiles
0f sweetness, to her infant play.
Andohl as thus shebrlngs us back
To childhood’s simple truth and love.
Be ours to keep her shining track
As sinleas to her home above t
j traces of the former action of glaciers and
Arctic region down to latitude 32 degrees.
We have this grooving in a north-southerly
direction, and we have, more than that, an
Immense mass of loose bowlders over the
whole surface of the continent, all of which
can be traced to rocks resting in places north
ol_the position they now occupy. Now all
this shows that the motion has been from
the north southward, and in reference to the
changing temperature on our earth, that
evrdence is enough to justify the conclusion
that immense glaciers have extended over
this continent to the latitude I have men-
tioned. So far was I assured by this evi-
dence, that when I went to Brazil two years
ago, on the first week of my arrival at Rio
de J apeiro, I examined the side of one of the
beautiful mountains which rise above the
’Bay 'of Rio, and there found unmistakable
their presence there. We must, therefore,
admit that the earth was at ouc time com
enough to allow the accumulation of ice
within the tropics. If I were to state the
character of the, evidence, I should only re-
peat the facts which I have stated with ref-
erence to the presence of glaciers within the
valley of Switzerland and upon the'plains
of this country. I might say, however, that
traveling northward from Rio to the neigh-
borhood of Pernambuco, I nowhere ceased
to trace the Same fact, and, after visiting the
valley of the:Amazon,’I have become satis-
fied that once :the whole valley of- the Ama-
zon;was occupied by a stupendous glacier
coming down from». the Andes, and reaching
to the Atlantic. I am'convinced that all the
loose materials which now form the bottom
of the valley of the Amazon, are materials
which have been ground by that ice, and
scattered evenly over the whole land, in the
same manner as the valley of the Rhine is

Prof. Agassiz explained his then y "ml at
some period a large portion of the .vmld,

and that marks of glaciers are found on Ilm
continent from Maine to the Aiuazm. He
made the following curious and interesting
statements:
When the valley of SwilZerl ind, between
the Jura and the Alps, was ,full or ice to a

thought that there was enough in all these
facts to make it probable tom 1 should find
the traces of glaciers in England. As early
as 18540 I started on‘a homing excursion for
‘the‘tracks of glaciers throughlhc British
islands, a nd ,.no sooner had ‘,I‘ reached the

CASES non ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPA-
NIES—The “ Breakneck Accident Insurance
Company” wrote to the “ Fat Contributor”
not long since to' work up a column or so of
inducements for people to take out policies.
This is the Way he did it: ,
Everybody should get insured against ac-
cidents. No matter i you belong to one of
the “ best of families," accidents will happen
,to them.
Get out a policy. Tire old proverb says,
“ Honesty is the best policy,” but that was
before accident insurance companies started.
Now the best policy isa policyin the “Break-
neck.”
The other day a. man in Chicago fell out of
a fourth story window. He had no insurance,
and consequently was killed. Another man
on the same day fell out with his wife, He
was insured in the “Breakneck,” and is ready
to fall out again.
A‘womau driving a spirited horse in St.
Louis was run away with. Being insured
against accidents, she wasn't alarmed a'bit,
stopped thehorse and came back safe.
policv running out, she neglected to renew
it. Shortly after she was run away with
again. Her husband’s partner ran away
with her this time, and she hasn't come back
yet. Don't lail'to renew your policy, par-
ticularly if it is in the “Breakneck.”
At Dubuque, Iowa, 0. man-was kicked by
a horse. The horse wasn’t insured, and he
got kicked back.
Near Paris, Ky., a man, while engaged in
running a. circular saw, had his arms taken
off. They consisted of a cavalry sabre and
a double barrellcd shot gun. The man who
carried them 00' had an accident insurance
-—and he hasn’t been caught yet. i

married. Being insured in the “ Break-

from a loft and broke his neck. He: re-
ceived his insurance, $3,000, from ‘thc
“Breakneck,” with which he was able to set
himself up in business, and is now doing well.
Our agent at Cleveland, Ohio, writes: ‘.‘A
lumber horse ran away with a bobtailed
wagon, and tipped in the street overa small

began to cry and the wagon bled freely at the
nose, but otherwise the street is doing well.

W The Yale Com-ant says: The nomina-
tion of Prof. Cyrus Northrop for represen-
tative to Congress from the Second District
of this State, is one that is received with
great enthusiasim by everyone connected
with Yale, as well as by the people at large.
We care not for politics, and shall-never al-
low our paper to side with any political par-
ty. In such an instance as this, however,
we must say a word for the man, and we
could say no less, whatever party he be-
longed to. There are men, the mention of
whose names brings up to the mind at once,
as inseparably connected with them, the
phantom, politician. Among all parties and
classes the name of Prof. Northrop is ever
spoken of and associated with 'the word
man. And such he is, in the true, full sense
of the word. It will be a brighter era in
the political history of our nation when the
people are educated to vote for men and not
for party. We know that it is the “law and
gospel” of all political parties to influence
their dupes to vote the “ straight party tick-
et.” In reading the result of elections it is
always gratifying to us to find that there
are some who carry their religion into their
politics, and vote for those whom they know
and believe to be the men for the office. We
know little for or against Prof. Northrop’s
opponent; and we presume that nine-tenths
of the voters in this city know as little about
it as we do. We do know, however, and
nine-tenths of the voters in this city also
know, that Prof. Northrop is in every way
fitted for the ofllce, and would do honor to
the district and the State. For statesman-
sbip, oratorical ability and integrity of char-
acter, he stands forth prominent among men
of his age throughout the country.

FELLOW CITIZENS: A State Convention
of the Workingmen of Connecticut was
held at New Haven, on the 22d of February
last, for the purpose of considering the best
means of promoting the best interests of la-
bor and of benefitting those on whose skill
and industry we are largely dependent. It
is the object and aim of the Workingmen's
Organization to promote the interestsand
dignity of labor, and to better the condition
of the laboring classes. To attain this desi-
rable end, we believe, in the first place, that
the hours which laborers are compelled to
toil may be lessened without injury to the
true interests of any class in this State; that
the greater protection should be afforded
workingmen, and that their claims for labor
should be preferred to a large amount, in
case of the failure of their employers; that
a greater amount of their wages should be
exempt from attachment by the factorizing
process; that children should not be over-
worked in our factories or elsewhere, but:
that an opportunity should be afforded them
for education; that American industry
should be sufllcientiy protected, and that all
proper means should be used to promote the
dignity of labor and elevate the laborer.
While we do not desire to bring about a
conflict between capital and labor, we do
desire and shall endeavor to secure for thc
laborer the full share of his product of his
toil. We desire to carryout, as nearly as
possible, the wishes of the workingmen of
Connecticut, as embodied in the resolutions
passed at their recent State Convention. To
accomplish this object, it is earnestly urged
that the workingmen in all parts of the State
should use all honorable means to secure the
election of Senators and Representatives to
our next Legislature who will pledge them-
selves to support and carry out the purposes
of the laboring classes.
See to it that none but true and loyal men
are elected—men of intelligence and patri-
otism—men to whom the interests and hon-
or ol our cause can be safely entrusted. But
four weeks remain before our election, and
we have much to accomplish in that time.
The success of our cause is closely identified
with the interests of our country. The
great arm of power is labor. To protect
and foster it, and to secure the elevation and
ennoblcinent of the laborer, is an object
worthy our earnest endeavor. Our path of
duty is plain, and let us follow it with uncr-
ring certainty.
In one of our resolutions honorable men-
tion is made of those who, by their intrep-
idity and valor in the recent contest and re-
bellion, saved our nation from destruction.
We cannot too highly prize their labors and
their services. Many of them sleep in name-
less graves. beneath the soil they so nobly
defended, with our institutions unimpaired
for their enduring monument. Many suf-
fered untold miseries in rebel prisons; many
others, still, returned to their homes, after
passing through the fire and blood of many
a battle, wounded and maimed for life.
These are among our, most intelligent citi-
zens. They are to-day‘co-laborcrs with us,
and are identified witlrithe producing clas-
ses of the country. .To them we owe a debt
of gratitude we can never repay. They
have the highest claims to honor and pre—
Let us see that. full justice is done
our citizen soldiers.
We issue this address for the purpose of
urging upon all workingmen the importance
of laboring to uphold ong principles. If we
hope to accomplish much,,.we.must be vigil—
ant and earnest, remembering that “Eter-
nal vigilance is the price'joi Liberty.” By
systematic, effective labor; r'io'ii‘dlitical party
will beable to thwart our purposes, but in
the end we shall achieve a signal victory.
Voters of Connecticut! Our country has
passed through a severe struggle, and the
honor of the nation has been preserved by
our soldiers during four years of suffering
and terrible trial on the battle-field. See to
it. that‘hc fruits of the victory they achieved
are not lost. Give your votes to no man or
party whose interests and sympathies are
not fully identified with the Union cause
during this great conflict. Show that you
are worthy of the priceless heritage pur-
chased by our Revolutionary ancestors, and
so nobly defended 'by your sons and brothers
in the recent successful struggle to maintain
the Union against rebellion. Rise up and‘
work, and trust in God for success !

Witt a meeting of the Workingmen’s
State Central Committee, held at Hartford
on Friday, the 8th of March, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted ;—
Whereas, At the first meeting of the State
Central committee, Johnathan W.,Fincher of
Philadelphia, and Alfred W. Phelps of New
Haven, were authorized to canvas the State
for the organization of the Workingmen’s
Union, under the explicit understandingthat
they should in no manner work or speak in
the interests of either the Democratic or Un-
ion State Ticket, and inasmuch as during the
past week they have, in direct violation of
this understanding, and to the detriment of
our cause, used their utmost influence. in
speeches and conversation, in favor of the
democratic candidates, therefore,
Resolved, That their engagements are here-
by revoked, and that they receive the cen-
sure of this committee for departing from
their instructions, as no speakers have been
or will be authorized by this committee to
speak in favor of either the Democratic or
Union State Ticket.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the laws are
made by the Senators and Representatives,
and not by the Governor, and as the claims
of theworkingmen should be brought before
the Legislature free from party bais, it would
be detrimental to the true interests of our
cause for our organization to canvas for eith-
er of the candidates for Governor, but that
all our efforts should be directed to the elec-
tion of men favorable to our interests for
Senators and Representatives.

WThe copperhead argument against the
enlargement of political rights is; That it
you give the colored race any political rights
whatever you must admit them upon terms
of perfect equality to white socrcty, make
them “top couples” in every quadrille at your
social parties, and, if you have a son or daugh-
ter,he or she must, without any question,-
marry a black. This is the sum and sub-
stance of the democratic cry against recogiz-
ing the intelligence and moral worth of
a. man though his skin be tawny. Now, let
us put the boot on the other leg. The residents
of the sixth ward in this city enjoy political
rights; they votethe democratic ticket; they
are the political equals of the editors of The
Hartford limos. So being, the editors afore-
said, and their aristocratic neighbors, must
have families exchange afternoon curls in
Pigville, marry th is daughters to Patrick
McFagan and Michael McGinness and attend
the same sociables and partake of wine at
supper out; of the same goblet that Mrs. _Mor-
iarty has just taken a swig from. This is the
“argument” in the nutshell—Hartford Post.

before leaving for London he desired to
make apractical suggestion to the house-
keepers ofthc town. The suggestion was
thia: . .
“ Toeconomize the burning of coal, send
for an Ironmongcr or blacksmith, and order
him to take the measure of the bottom of
your grate and order him to make you a
sheet-iron plate of about one-sixth of an
inch In thickness, or even less.
“ Simply lay this, and- light your fire as
usual. It will soon burn up, but you must
keep pretty open the lowest bar, so as to
secure a slight draught. When the fire has
begun to burn, poke it gently from beneath,
and the flame will gradually get through the
entire mass of coals, the iron plate beneath
gets red 110% and so keeps upa‘ convent
combustion, at the same time dispersing ille
heat through the room instead of its b i ig
sent up the chimney, thus entirely con» - '1-
ing the coal, instead of filling the herb
with ashes." ~
Dr. Wilson continues: “In my own hon: -2
I tried the experiment for aweek in t‘ :
breakfast-room, then in the dining-room,
then in the kitchen, with uniform and com-
plete success; and then I had the sheet-iron
plate put into every fireplace—and there are
many throughout the house—with equal
success. Sol do with the fireplace in my
ofiicial residence. When the tire is once
made up, say about ten A. M., for the day,
an occasional poke and possibly a single re-
plenishment suffices for the day. In my own
case, and also at my hotel here, where three
scuttles were required, we now suffices.
You must not smile at the simplicity of my
suggestion, but attribute my offering to a
sincere desire to contribute what little is in
my power to promote the comfort of and
lessen the expense to everyhouseholder in
the good old town of Hull." ,
A citizen of Hull, who has since tried this
plan, writes: “The result in my house,
whereIhave had quarter-inch iron plates
fitted at the bottom of two fire-grates, at an
expense of two shillings each, is a saving in
cool of about one-third, with a considerable
increase in heat. A large number of per-
sons have already satisfactorily tried the ex-
periment, and the'use of the plates is likely
to become general in this locality.”
'ghe cost of the experiment is a mere

WSunda night week, the residence of
Mr. Charles rving, in the town of Pound-
ridge, N. Y., was entirely consumed by fire.
The fire originated in an outer kitchen at-
tached to the main building, from the care-
lessness ofa domestie, who had placed some
shavings and wood by the hot stove, in read-
iness to light the fire next morning. A
spark from the fire is supposed to have got
into the shavings and set them on fire. Most
of the furniture was removed from the main
building. Mr. Irving estimates his loss at
about $3,000; insurance, $1,500.

Nine women were graduated as Doctors
of Medicine it the annual Commencement
of the New ork Medical College for me-
en Friday night. This young institution,
only four years in existence, is dorng a no-
blc work, and it should receive .the. hearty
support of the public, as well an; fair share
of legislative aid. The classes which have
been graduated have passed severe exami-
nations with great credit, and there is_no
question of the thoroughness of the training
to which all the students are subjected. The
successfulpractitioners, who have already
proved that women can become capable and
trustworthy physicians, displayed high cour-
age when they bccame the pioneers In a
difficult Work; but their example is ser-
viceable to the new candidates who follow
in their-footsteps.
These heroic women ask no favors. They
seek only justice. “If,” they say, “ women
is a natural doctor; if she is charged_wrth
the highest duties towards the young; if she
is to rear men and women, is there any rea-
son why she should not be educated on scr-
cntitic principles, so that she may under-
stand the anatomy Of the human body, the
symptoms of disease, the qualities of food,
and the laws of hygiene?” Those_who
sneer at what are called woman’s rights,
forget that the only right demanded by an
edricaled woman is the right to make use of
the knowledge she has gained by hard study.
Should she fail, sire assumes the penalties of
failure. In the event of success, she asks
only for recognition. A share in the strug-
rie for daily bread is all that these women
physicians expect, and to that they are en-
titled—N. Y. Post.
females.” “Glad news for the unfortunate” .
