DON’T STAY LATE TO-NIGn'I'o
The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light,
And lovely eyes are gleaming,
As fall the shades of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
- ' A tender voice half grieving, '
Says, “Don’t stay late to-night."
The world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave, andwide,
The world of her then lovest
Is on the inglc side. ‘
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice, cntreating,
Says, “Don’t stay late tonight.”
The world is cold, inhuman,
Will spurn thee in thy fall ;
The love of one pure woman
Outlasts and shames them all,
Thv children will cilng‘round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright,
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then “Don't stay late to-night.”_
What a Connecticut lady sees in
Washington.

“To— the making of
books there is no end." So said the 'wise
man of old. yet he had never dreamed {of
the Congressional Library. Would you
like to know about it? Well then Mr. sz'
ford, the urbane librarian, reports an aggre-
' gate of over a quarter of million of books,
and about fifty thousand pamplcts. Where
is your lost library of Alexandria now 2 In
the copyright department there have been
15,353 entries made during the year, and
the librarian has paid into the Treasury the
sum of $13,404.30 as the receipts from copy-
right fees. ‘
The librarian reports the accessions to
the library as unusually valuable, including
an almost complete set of the County Histo.
ries of England, purchased in London, and
very important as throwing light upon the
history and genealogy of thousands of
American families. .
The rapid growth of the library and of
the copyright business of the country render
the necessity for a new building to accom-
modate its overfi owing stores an imperative
necessity. While retaining in the Capital a
, sufficiency large library for legislative and
judicial use, Congress has already author-
ised the preparationof plans for a separate
building. It is believed the new building
- will be erected east of the Capitol nearly
opposite where the old Capitol prison used
to stand. 0n the opposite or southern
corner of the Capitul park it is proposed to
erect a twin building for ‘the use of the
United States Supreme Court. Thus the
old Senate Chamber now used by the Court
and the rooms occupied at present for the
Library west of the grand rotunda, may be
used for Committee rooms, of which there
is said to be pressing need.
The printed specifications issued to
architects who design competive plans for
the new Library contain the following de-~
tllll :—
“The general pl. of the building will
embrace a circular readingorOOm in the
center, of one hundred feet diameter, with
alcoves radiating from the circumference of
the inner circle outward, as described in the
Report of the Librarian of Congress for1873.
2. The exterior walls are to be within a
space of 270 by 840 feet. The elevation is
not to exceed 60 to 65 feet. The external.
form is not prescribed, designers being at
liberty to submit their own plans as toform,
order of architecture, treatment of doors,
windows, decoration, and other details. No
dome or towers of greater height than 70
feet can be admitted on account of the
proximity of the projected Library building
to the Capitol.
8.. The mat erial is to be stone for the ex-
terior, and iron for the interior, except in
such details in the latter as may be better
, and more substantially constructed of brick
stone, or concrete. All parts of the build
ing to be of fire-proof materials, no wood
being employed in any portion of the struc-
ture.
, 4. The alcoves, which are to fill the
greater portion of the interior space, are all
to be readily accessible and as well lighted
as possible. FiVe stories' of these alcoves
are centemplated, and as many of them as
can be conveniently so arranged are to be
of the following approximate dimensions,
each alcove having three sides:
Height, 9 feet; depth, 9 fec't; width, 9
feet. The average distance between the
shelves (which are to‘ be of half-inch cast-
iron) is to be 12 inches, the lower shelves,
however, being somewhat higher; The
space between the uprights inIall shelving
should he as nearly as may be 2% feet.
5. Besides the interior space occupied by
the circular reading-room and the system of
hock alcoves radiating therefrom, proyision
is to be made for eight rooms of large di-
mensions, not less than 40 to 60 feet diam.
eter, and 20 to 25 feet high, for map-rooms,
newspaper files, copyright records, works of
art, catalogue rooms, and packing room.
6. The building must be so calculated as
to contain about 2,000,000 volumes, the
basis for estimateof the space required by a
library of that extent being8 volumes to
each linear feet of shelf-measurement.
_ Thefollowing are the directions for secur-
ing copyrights under the revised act of Con-
guess which took effect July 8, 1870.
1. A printed copon the title of the book,
map, chart, dramatic in" musical composi~
tion, 'engraving,'¢ut, print,lphotograph, or a
description of the , painting, drawing,
chrome, statue, statuary, or-model or design
for a work of the fine arts, for which copy
right is desired, must be sent by mail, pre-
paid, addressed -
Librarian of Congress,
Washington, D. 0.
This must be done before publication of the
book or other article.
2. A fee of 50 cents, for recording the
title of each book or' other article, must be
inclosed with the title as above, and 50
cents in addition (or $1 in all) for each cer-
tificate of copyright under seal of the Libra-
rian of Congress, which will be transmitted
by return mail.
3. Within ten days after publication of
each book or other article, two complete
copies of the best edition issued must be
sent, to perfect the copyright, with the
address '
Librarian of 0mm”,
Washington, D. 0.
It is optional with those sending books and
other articles to perfect copyright, to send
them by mail or express; but. in either case,
the charges are to be‘ prepaid by the senders.
Without the deposit of copies above requir-
ed, the copyright is void, and a penalty of
325 is incurred. No copy is required to be
deposited elsewhere.

unless notice is give by inserting in every
copy. published, on the title page or the
page following, if “he a book; or. if a map,

5. Any author may reserve the ri_ht to
translate or to dramatize his own work. In
this case, notice should be given by printing
the words right of translation reserved, or

of Congress of such reservation, to be enter.
cd upon the record.
6. Each copyright secures the exclusive
right of publishing the book or article copy-
righted for the term of twenty-eight years.
At the end of that time, the author or de-
signer, or his widow or children, may secure
a renewal for the further .term of fourteen
years, making forty-two yearn in all. Ap-
plications for renewal must be accompanied
by explicit statement of ownership, in the
case of the author, or of relationship, in the
case of his heirs, and must state definitely
the date and place of entry of the original
copyright.
Hon. A. M. Weddell, one of the most
eloquent speakers of the House and a rising
young statesman from North Carolina, Iand
withal, the handsomest gentleman in Con-
gress, is, I am told, to be tendered a com-
plimentary “german” by the delightful
Ladies Centennial Association,at Willard’s,
to-morrow evening. The affair is to be
very select and will be as unique as enjoya-
ble. Several rare novelties are to be intro-
duced, chief of which is to be a band of
amateur musicians composed entirely of
beautiful young ladies, from the best society
of Philadelphia. Their handling of reed
and stringed instruments, they say, is per-
fectly exquisite.
There was great alarm felt lest the Cen-
tennial celebration, as it was being managed
by the men, would “fizzle out,” when these
spirited ladies rushed to the rescue and ren-
dered its complete success no longer doubt
ful. Isn’t it funny, these “lords of creation”
can’t get up anything without the help of
the ladies ?
7. The time within which any workcopy-
righted may be issued from the press is not
limited by any law or regulation, but de-
pends upon the discretion of the proprietor.
A copyright may be secured for a projected
work as well as for a completed one.
8. Any copyright is assignable in law by
any instrument of writing, but such assign-
ment must be recorded in the ofilce of the
Librarian of Congress within sixty days
from its date. The fee for this record is fif-
teen cents for every 100 words, and ten cents
for every 100 for a copy of the record of as-
signment. ’ ‘ ‘ ‘
9 Acopy of the record (or duplicate cer—
tificate) of any copyright entry will be far-
nished under seal, at the rate of fifty cents
each.
10. In case of books published in more
than one volume, if issued or sold separate-
ly, or of periodicals published in numbers,
or of engravings, photographs, or other It'-
ticles published with variations, a copyright
is to be iakenout for each volume of a book
or number of a periodical, or variety as to
size or inscription, of any other article.
11. To secure a copyright for a painting,
statue, or model or design intended to be
perfected as a work of the fine arts, so as to
prevent infringement by copying, engraving,
or vending such design, a definite descrip-
tion must accompany the application for
copyright, and a photograph of the same, at
least as large as “cabinet size,” must be
mailed to the Librarian of Congress within
ten days from the completionwf the work.
12. Every applicant for a copyright must
state distinctly the name and residence of
the claimant, and whether the right is claim-
ed as author, designer, or proprietor. No
afildavit or formal applicfi’tion is required.

aware, yet many practical facts, and ideas
of more than passing importance grow from
their study, as we shall see. Among certain
classes of people, these medicines are favor-
ite remedies in the treatment of numerous
complaints, and we do not know as they
are made use of among people in general
(in place of other remedies) as they ought
to lie. At certain times and under certain
circumstances they are very valuable
agents, and nothing will take the place of
them. They are just as important in their
place as}cathar‘tics,ior opiates, or astringents,
andyet from reasOu of their imaginable
inelegant mode of operating, we suppose
other more agreeable medicines, if not the
most suitable made to take theplace of
them. An individual has overloaded his
stomach for instance. He feels “squalmishl’
and oppressed ”and perhaps sufi‘ers pain. A
heavy load is experienced under his waist-
coat, his mouth is foul, and he is more or
less troubled with flatulence. He wants to
“get rid of the stufi‘ he has swallowed" he
knows he does, as his gastric friend is over-
burdened, andcan not perform the work
imposed ‘upon it. Buthow does he go to
work to do it? Brandy, hot drops, Iand
ginger to whip his tired stomach up to duty,
one, dose of cathartic pills to hurry the
ofi‘cnding material through his s stem.
Sometimes after eating too, digestiokgoes
on naturally for an hour or two, and then
is suddenly arrested by a remaining indi-
gestible portion_or particle, ”and more or
less pain nausea, and “cramp in the
stomach” is experienced. Nature rebels
against the food, the stomach is unable to
dispose of it, and hence the outcry and
evident desire for its removal. Here again
a gentle “horn" is resorted to, or else the
high pressure pills and. the difllculty is dis-
posed of. But-it isn’t common sense, the
veriest idiot would know that to evacuate
,the stomach, was all that was called for and
needed. Happily many individuals are the
possessors of stomachs-that .are capable of
summarily getting rid of unwelcome sub.
stances of their own accord—going it on'
their muscle as it were—and. disposing of
this or of that in whichever direction their,
own good judgment seems fit to dictate.
The man or woman who digests their food
through the agency of such anfigan as
this, is possessed of a wealth that money
can not be compared to, or that money can
nothuy.
Now it is to serve this purpose, to accom-
plish this object, that emetics in their
various forms have been: giren us. All
medicines Were intended for some good.
object, to assist some organ of our body to
perform their duty, or correct them when
disposed to wander from the path of virtue.
Emetics are prominent remedies in the in-
dications that arise in our daily life for the
‘need of some corrective, but as a class,
they are very little made use of, and very;
little understood in any of the walks of life.~
They are infinitely more useful" at times-
than cathartics, the great resort of people
of the present day, and at all times, a much
less harmless and exhaustive remedy.
People of olden times made use of these
medicines with the greatest impunity. An
emetic was administered for everything,
from a simple toothache down to the _most
extensive and dangerous ills, and often
they were taken for pleasure, as we take a
glass of wine to clear the head and facili-
tate the flow of animal spirit. It is related
in some work on-Hafm'a Afsdisa, that in-
dividuals in those days, were in the habit
of “discharging” their dinners," by these
cenvcnient means that they might have the
pleasure of again going through the process
of eating. ' The deed was often done for
two or 'thrpe times in succession, that thus
they might prolong the pleasures of the
table fill their appetites were'thoroughly
satisfied. This would be rather too much
of a “goodthing,” yet we‘believe that it is
wrong that they should have fallen into
such general disuse as they have. to-day.
Cathartics could divide half of their glory,
or even more, to this classiofmedicine, with
a great deal ofbenefit to the people. But
this is the way we go. First way up, then
way down; first one extreme, and then
another. Years ago we abused emetics, to-
day we are doing the same thing with
cathartlcs and it should not be. A dis.
crimination should be made between the
two; they beth should be on one pantry
shelf, or in one medicine chest, an the one
used that is indicated and the' ther let
alone. ‘
As we have intimated, emetics as a class
are much less .disposed to do injury than
cathartics. Children take them with per-
fect impunity and with every degree of
safety. Young babies are not in the least
injured'by them,'unless they are given in
excessive doses. In adult life they are
never attended with evil results, unless
some condition exists, as a ”rupture,
anenrism, or head disease when the strain
of their action has a deleterious influence
upon the disease. In these instances, and
in extreme old age, when the blood ‘ vessels
are apt to be weakened from various-causes
they should never be used. ‘In a sound and
hefifby body they may be used almost at
any time.
But they are difi'erent classes of emetics.
Some are exhausting or weakening in theif
actionr and others are the opposite or.
stimulating. The former act by being ab-
sorbed from the stomach and producing
its contraction by nervous influence; and
the latter act by their invitating effect upon
the inner coat of the stomach, . and thus
provoking it to contraction. The former
are slow in operating, the latter are quick,
and these various properties and qualities
are of great importance in making a selec-
tion of an emetic-for use. Where the sim-
ple effect of unloading the stomach is the
motive‘for the use ofan emetic, the stimuv
lating kind should always be used, for they
act promptly, with but little trouble, and no
exhaustion or weakness following; . the
same are also the ones in poisoning. But;
when a child is suffering from the croup, or
a decided impression. is wished to be made
upon the system,.the former are the proper
remedies. They are slow,—that is they are
some time in producing emcsis—but a
wretched feeling of nausea and weakness
comes on very soon after administration,
which increases in severity until vomiting
is produced. Every one must haxe noticed
the great difference in this respect in the
action of emetics if they have ever taken
any. Therefore, when a remedy of this
kind is about to be used exercise the judge-
ment'as to the‘most suitable one for the
occasion. Tartar emetics, ipecac, squills,
lobclla, are prostrating emetics; tartar
em‘etics very considerably so, and the
squllls and lobelia so very much so as to be
rather the wrong remedies in unprofession-
al hands. Sulphate of zinc, sulphate of
copper,, mustard, common salt, etc., are
stimulating emetics and the former two so
very stimulating as to be ranked as poisons
when taken in overdoses. For general
uscipecac andhive syrup—which contains
minute proportions of tartar emetic—mus-
tard, and common salt are the best remedies
of their kind;their action in all instances
maybe promoted by copious droughts of
lake warm‘water, doc.
But perhaps we have said cue-ugh.
Emetics should come into more general
use, and cathartics should not be so often
resorted to. How many little children
would be saved from aggravated affections
of the bowels, brought on by indigested
Emetics are a nauseating subject we are
.oflife between the foundling and the healthy -
through the body, making disturbance
everywhere, it should simply be evacuated
as a chicken would evacuate a spider that
it found impossible to swallow? How
many headaches and foul tasting months
would be avoided if emetics were more
universally resorted to? How _many
dangerous diseases would be “nipped in the
bud" ifa decided impression were made in
the system by the intelligent use of these ex-
cellent remedies at the outset. We dare
not say, but we warrant they would be
infinitely less than under the present mode
of management. We are not fond of taking
medicine; we do not advocate its continual
or promiscuous use, but when a remedy is
needed, why not take the most proper,
beneficial and sensible one,—and let all
others go to the dogs.

Under the metal favorable circumstances,
where mothers nurse their own ofl'spring,
only about ten per cent. die under one year
of age ; but, where the bottle is used, the
mortality is considerably increased. The
death-rate of infants in cities is much larger
than in the country; in fact, it is often twice
as large. If the whole population is includ-
ed, it is found that the mortality ointants,
under one year of age, ranges from fifteen
to twenty-five per cent. of all that are born
in a given time. It will be readily seen
that there is a wide margin in the prospects
infant of good parentage. The statistics on
this subject vary in different places and at
different times, but everywhere this differ-
ence exists, and. in some cases it is extreme.
Thus, we are told on the authority of long
experience, that of those nursed by the
bottle in the care of other persons than their -
mothers, oftentimes only about ten per cent.
live to the age of one year; whereas, of the
infants who are fed from the bottle in care
of their mothers, seventy per cent. live to
one year of age. It has also been found
that, of those nursed at the breast by others
than the mother; only twenty-eight per
cent. lived, while if nursed by their own
mothers, eighty per cent. lived. At the
New York infant asylum, where great care
and pains'have been taken, this result was
obtained: of these infants nursed by hired
women, carefully selected and inspected,
twenty-three per cent. died, but of those
nursed by their own mothers only seventeen
per cent died. This factIshows the import-

RACHEL an rm: WILL.
nv J. at nominal. ‘
By an elm-tree half decayed,
In a skeleton of shade .
From? the bird-forsaken boughs;
With the melancholy stains
0f acentury of rains, ,
And its quaintly mended panes,
' Stands the house.
From the modern street aloof,
It uprears its olden roof
‘ In the sleepy summer air;
And the shadows fall across,
And the sunlight sheds a gloss
0n the atches of old moss,
ore and there.
Near the gate that guards the lane,
With its rusty hinge and chain,
Hangs, half-shut, the crippled wicket.
Lilac c umps, beyond the wall,
' Grow neglected, filling all
The wild doorya'rd with a tall
Tangled thicket. , ‘
'niere’s a little path between
The encroaching ranks ’of green ;
Then a garden, half-grown over
With striped grass and poppies red ;
There the sunflower hangs her head:
And you scent sochhere a bed
0f sweet clover.
There is fennel mixed with phlox;
And, with pinks andvhollyhocks,
Here the mistress of the place,
E1 her lone and widowed age,
Midway from the darkened gable
To the battered barn and stable, .
.15 the well; and there aslant,’ .5! _,
Warped and cracked «with sunand rain,
Stands the well-sweep in the lane,
On its one leg, like a crane, , , 1
Long and gaunt.‘I ,
In her ancient ,bomhazinc,
And henho'od of ~faded green,
Prong the kitchen, on her crutch, '
Comesnth'e widowzwith her pail;
Iuvthehook she hangs the bail;
_. And-the wellosweep gives a wall
‘At her touch.
»'With a dismal, wailing cresk, .
Like an [almost human shriek,
Down the slow‘ sweep goes,_and up
Brings the wavering pail once more;
While in yellow pinafore 1 ,
Runs her grandchild from the door,
With a cup. ' .
Grandchild, did-I 'suy if Behold!
Like a flc¢0e of living gold .
Just let loose. from fairy-land,

And half flying in the sun,

In old Rachel can there be
An ht akin to such as she ?
inter’s snow and summer's glow !
Poor old Rachel, bent and thin,
Withered cheeks and peaked chin,
' Has outlived all other kin
Long ago.‘
From the curb, with many a groan,
Comes the bucket to the stone;
And the crutch is in its place;
And now. pausing at the brink,
For the elf to dip and drink,
She, poor soul, must breathe and think,
For a space.
Lo ! the cloudy years, they part
Like a morning mist; her heart
For a moment is beguiled
By sad fancies thronging fast :
S_he beholdsthe glowing past,
her own girlish image glassed,
In the child.
Anti will ever that sweet elf
Be a creature like herself.
Bowed with age and grief and care?
Can such freshness fade away
To a phantom of decay—
Goldon tresses, to a gray
Ghost of hair 1’
T was but yesterday she saw
Her own grandma go to draw
Water, with her pail and crutch,
t
. And she wondered to behold
One so pitifully old i
. Eighty years, when all is told,
Are not much.
Like a vision of the dawn,
Youth appears, and youth is gone;
From four summers to four score
Is a dream! ’1‘ is ever so:
Roses come and' roses go,
Roses fade and roses blow
Evermore.
Ruined petals strcw the walk;
Laughing buds are on the stalk;
Mighty nature was consoled.
Surging life no bounds can stay;
Beauty floods the young and gay;
Life and beauty ebb away
From the old.
We are figures on the loom:
Out of darkness, in gloom,
We but flit across the frame;
And the gnomes that toil within
Care not for the web they spin ;
Ever ending, they begin
Still the same.
While sad Rachel dimly peers
Through the glimmering film of years,
There the grandchild, all aglow,
Stooping, dipping, sees by chance
Her own merry countenance
In the water wave and glance
To and fro.
Tossing arms and gleeful scream
Startlc Rachel from her dream;
And as sunshine in dark seas
Gilds some lone and rocky isle,
On the wrinkled face the while
Rests a heavenly light, a smile
Of deep peace.
In her love she lives again :
Worlds may pass, if love remain,
And the soul is reconciled.
Rachel knows not age nor care,
Life and hope are everywhere, '
As her heart goes out in prayer
For the child.
Little fingers drop the cup
Which old Rachel must take up;
Rachel, smiling, stoops ,with pain,
While away the maiden hies,
After birds and butterflies,
Clapping hands \vith happy cries,
Down the lane.

THE BEAUTIFUL “BY AND BY.”
By thshining shores of life's beautiful

When the morning gleams on its bright
waves quiver . .
A bark lay rocking upon the tide;
We stood on the white sands, John and I,
And he whispered, “Dear heart shall we

All th

weather, ' ,
Till we land by and by on the other
side i"
heart and my voice made swift rep
e -wrll cross together, love, you and
Over the the tide to the other side,
To that beautiful ‘by add by l’ ”

Its darkeningnoon with its clouds of warn-

Its evening of lullin , dreamy rest, '. ,
We have breasted the'bi lows, ‘John and I;
And I whisper, “Dear heart, we shall land
together,
Unharmcd and unchilled by the changeful
weather;
See, our sun goes down in a golden
west!
The spray of the storm that beats so high
Has but frosted the hair and dimmed the

And lo 1 Jr] the sands of you nightlcs lands
Is our beautifhl ‘by and by !' ”
