A little hour of play;
A little caught, a little cast—

BABY LAND.
How many miles to Baby-Land?
Any one can tell;
Up one flight,
To your right ;
Please to ring the bell.
What can you see in Baby-Laud ‘?
Little folks itt white,
Downy heads,
Cradle beds,
Faces put'e‘and bright.
What do they do in Baby-Land?
Dream and wake ant! pl:1y,.
Laugh and crow,
Shout and grow ;
Jollv times have they.
What do they say in Baby-mid?
Why, the oddest things;
Might as well
Try to tell
What a birdie sings.
Who is the Queen of the Baby-Land?
Mother, kind and sweet;
And her love,
Born above,
Guides the little feet.

SCA NBA L .
Among the many cxpedicnls which Satan
adopts for working cvil‘ in this world of
ours, there is none more apparently harm-
less in the beginning, yet more prolific of
all wretchedness and wickedness‘in the end
than the chit-chat conversation, the mere
talking for talk's sake, yclept gessip~—Gos-
sip, that lively, smiling little. maiden, who
is after all twin-sister of sullenLeyed, dark!
browed Scandal. ’ . '
In this connection is Satan most appro-
priately termed the father' (f all lies.
I have noticed that whet ever two or three
persons are gathered together, (whether

who were suddenly thrust apart, all affec-

i mutually straining at the cord which bound

: I knew a fatherand son, only living rela-
: lives, whose strong natural affections twen-
ty years of Constant, fetventlove had mould-

no power on earth could breed a tlitl'et'euce
F llt'l\‘.'f‘€_ll them; and yet they \\'tr.e set hand
to hand and hot to foot with that dead
white heat of anger, which nothing ever
afterwards could cool,not even the grass-
grown grave, and all bteausc one ftarful
day between them blew the felitl breath of
scandal. I knew a woman who, at fifteen
was the only cltild of a doting mother, and
the happy bride of an idolizing husband,
' the heiress of three plantations, and the pet
of a large social circle in the city of New
Orleans; at twenty-five, parentless, friend-
less, a widow, the bereaved mother of five
little ones, slripp of every dollar by the
vicissitudes of war, and thrown by the
waves of untoward circumstances a stranger
among strangers; yet. still holding up her
head proudly against the storm, battling her
adverse fate, with her own two little hands.
unaided, earningr a sustenance for herself
and her one remaining child, keeping her
heart firm and her hope strong for the sake
of that child through all things; yet there
was reserved for her a blow which bowed
her spirit and broke her heart: when it came.
and that blow was scandal.

~ wark of protection, that scandal will not
nssail them with ten-fold venom, thus prov-
ing itself; once a coward as well as a vil-
lain. T t'erc is no love St; strong that scan-
dal has not power to weaken it; no confi-
dence so entire that scandal may not over-
shadow it with distrust; no brow so pure
that scandal dare not pollttte it with its
loathsome slime; no position to which a
man may attain so high that'it may not be
brought to oditttn and contempt through
that arch-fiend of human depravity, scan»
tlttl. ' .
In nine cases out often it is impossible
to prove a scandalous report untrue, because
you cannot trace it to its source. Like a
hunted snake, it dives into the earth, appar-
ently, before your eyes, and then defies you
But even it“ yen do unearth the reptile,
what then? The poison has gone abroad,
the mischief is done, it can never be entire-
ly obliterated. It has more lives than a cat
reputed to possess} you think it is
dead again and again, yet after months,
years even, it rises like a phoenix from its
ashes, and you find the old enlumny has
lost none of its pristine vigor. It pursues a
man through his lifetime—a chance if sotnc
ghoul does not resurrect it over his grave.
There is no unity of feeling among com-
munities where scandal has tolerant exist-
ence; there is no prosperity where scandal
is. I have known whole townships to lie
like logs in the way of their own progress,
while thriving cities grow up around them,
only because in their midst were creatures
who, unrcbuked and. unmolcsted, were con-
tinually propagating that dead-rot of socie-
ty, scandal. 813er ST. CLAIR SMITH.

variably ensues a flow of small-talk, spiced
with a thread of criticism on various
persons. matters and things which have
chanced to come antler their several obser-
vations; and these criticisms, perhaps an.
consciously to the persons themselves, are
marked by, giving it the most charitable
designation, a decidedly nncbristian spirit.
It may have been only a chance word‘tlrop-
ped here and there, aye, even less than that ;
a fall of the eyelidspa peculiar quiver ot
the lip will! convey more of an idea to some
persons than a whole sermon thundered in
the ears of Others. But the idea once form-
ed,.what then? Natural philosophy teaches
us that every idea which emanates fr our
intellects as well as every gaseous particle
which is evolved from our bodies, goes
on, and on, and on forever, in the etern-
al round of nature. I wonder if any
one ever thought of
with the rise ot'a scandalous report. There
is constant transformation, but there is no
annihilation ; not tIe tiniest particle of any-
thing is ever utterly lost. How many noble,
generous-hearted men, how many good and
gentle women who would not have wanton-
ly injured the smallest insect, have yet in
this careless, unconscious manner, caused
many a bitter tear, many an aching heart,
many a tarnished reputation. “Behold how
great a matter a littlefircgkindlctlz.”
But this is only the lightest shade of the
iniquity. ’ Thercare persons whose inborn
malevolence of spirit sgms to find natural
vent in eauseless suspicious and subtle inu-
endoes concerning the. affairs or conduct 0
others, persons who will deliberately con
coct and put into circulation the most
atrocious falsehoods, and that, too, appar-
ently, fOr no other purpose than to gratify
their own inherent and wicked desire to
wound.,others. . But for the honor of man-
kind, the credit of society, and the vindica-
cation of the laws, be it said, these creatures
are usually, and almost invariably outside
the pale of respectability—poor, miserable,
disgraced and degraded wretches, who
seize uponscandal as their only means of
retaliation against the bar which shuts them
out from social intercourse with those whom
they thus aspersc. Good men shun them as
they would a noisomc pool. They go nu-
whipped of the‘law because they are never
worth a dollar. 7 Their very worthlessness,
in a moral point or" view, is their safe-guard
against punishment, and no one deems that
their influence upon society has one feather
weight, or that anything they can say i's of
the slightest consequence; and yet', indi~
rectly. the power they wield for human
'woe is potent in the extreme. A popular
writer has styled them “the wasps of socie-
ty.” “Wasps!” They are hycnas, and the
hearts-blood of their victims is constantly
dropping from their long-ranged jaws.
Their fabrications are at first circulated
among their own companions, persons of a
like nature; rind if their fabrications only
(lied where they were born, the history of
their sometimes fearful couscquenscs would
“ be lost to thcworld. Unfortunately it ts not
so. By and by they crop out here and"
there, like a poisonous vine, clutching at
every bush and sapling within reach, until
it finds firm hold and strong support. Then
the mischief is fairly under way. There
are plenty Of people who will repeat what
they hear, without giving their authority, or
”mentioning names,” as they term it, “as
that might make trouble,” never considering
if there be not hearers sufficiently astute to
find all that out for themselves. And thus
the story is repeated until the end comes:
till some head is’bowed in unmerited shame
to the 'dust, perhaps never to rise again,
some true heart broken, or some good and
noble cause forever destroyed.

Use only fresh frttit, and that which is
perfectly ripe—not too soft. just right to eat
well; fill your can fttll Of'fruit; put the

rings in the bottom of the chSel to prevent
breaking, then put over a slow fire at first,
then making it hotter after the water has
become hot. Too great a treat at first will
crack the cans at the. bottom. Meanwhile

your fruit is half done cooking, pour the

cooking their fruit before pu‘ ting it in cans,

its natural flavor as-well, neither will the

days from the time of canning, test your
fruit again, and if it holds, then it will keep
for years. By this process, you will never

A Practical Joke.
A telegram from Dubuque, Iowa, mett-
tions the arrival of a stranger front the
country in that town a few days ago, and
describes the result of his innocent inquiry
for directi s tO the Marshal’s office. He
was directed to that officer’s headquarters,
anti told that if he (lid not find the gentle-
man in to step into the next room, and he
would seea rope; to pull that, and the
Marshal would respond. He followed in-
structions to the letter, and, not finding the
officer in the ofiee, the citizens soon
:tlnl‘lflCtl by the clztmorous ringin,3 of the
fire bell. Engine and hose turned out as
quickly as possible, and posted to head-
quarters to ascertain where the fire was
located, and found the stranger there. The
firemen demanded where the tire was, and
on his answering he knew 'of no fire, but
wanted to see the Marshal, one of the fire-
men then pitched into the stranger and
we him a sound thrashing. The stranger
proceeded to ajnstiec’s office to take out a
warrant for the assault, bttt was informed
thatifhe did the fireman would bring a
suit forgiving the false alarm, which is
liable to a $50 fine; so he decided not to
sue, and when i st heard from was looking
for the man who told him how to find the
Marshal.
SINGULAR Pnnxonnxon AT WASHOE LAKE.
A gentleman from Washoe Valley informs
us during the past week the fish in \Vashoe
Lake have nearly all—if not all—died.
0n the eastern shore of the lake is to he
seems regular windrow, nearly a mile in
length, of dead fish. They are of all sizes,
from the smallest minnow up to fish a foot
in length. Far out over the waters of the
lake the fish are seen floating belly up. Al-
ready :1 great stench arises from those that
have been driven on the eastern shore of
the lake by the prevailing southwest winds.
Why the fish should thus die by wholesale
no one in the valley can conjecture. Even
the oldest inhabitant is obliged to admit
that the phenomenon is unprecedented.
"The lake is fttlly three feet higher titan it
was at this time last year and its 'atcrs
never looked brighter 0r purer. No mills
about the lake are running failings or chem-
icals into it, nor can anything unusual or
deleterious be discovered in or about it. It
is supposed that all the fish in the lake are
dead, as the pelicans, gulls, and other fish-
eating fowls which have abouuded there-
about have suddenly left. Day'before yes-
terday not. a pelican or gull remained on or
about the lake. The only explanation ad:
vanefiby any of the settlers is that there
has been an eructation-ofsom‘e kind of dele-
terious gas from the bottom of the lake.—

Mr. Smalley, the London editor of the N.
Y. Jrz‘buno, thus writes his journal (under
the head of “personal notes” from that city)
concerning Ex-Gov. Jewell's success at St.
Petersburg :—
LONDON, Aug. 1.—-Our new Postmaster-
General and late Minister to Rttssin,Gov.
Jewell, is in town, this week, on his way
home. So we have one good representative
the less in Europe. Gov. Jewell has been
in St. Petersburg rather less than a year. In
that. short time lte made himself personally
liked anti rt speeted, which is something,
and restOtcl thedignity of the legation from
the degradation—the word is not too strong
—iuto which it had fallen in the hands of”
Gov. Orr; which is tnore. I have heard at
various times during the past year very
good accounts indeed of our affairs at St.
Pctersbnrg. Of diplomatic secrets I don’t
pretend to speak ; very likely webave none,
but of two other matters which are of some
consequence. First. the personal relations
between Gov. Jewell and the Emperor‘ind
his Government. These were excellent
throughout, and it is not a slight thing that
they should be, for upon the good or ill
opinion which the Emperor and his advisers
have of the individual~ who represents the
United States depends in a great measure
his usefulness. SO well is this known in
Europe that it is the custom, before select-
ing an Embassador to inquire of the Court
to which he is to be accredited, whether he
will be personally acceptable. The right of
Court to refuse to receive an Embassador
who may be personally unacceptable to the
sovereign near whom he is to exercise his
functions, is fully recognized in European
diplomacy. Such ‘a refusal is no ground of
offence or of remonstrance. Whether we
follow this custom I can’t say, but we cer-
tainly ought to follow it, so far as not to
send abroad a man notoriously unfit for so-
ciety, ignorant of social usages, and person-
ally disagreeable. We were simply disgrac-
ed by such men as Orr, and by Mr. Cassius
Clay before him. Gov. Jewall has done as
much as could he done in a. twelvemonth to
album Orr’s memory. Iteannot be to.mueh
to ask of the Government at Washingtonto
send a successor to Gov. Jewell who shall
continue the good impression he has creat-
ed. There were enemies of ours who relied
on the evil ways of Clay and Orr as a means
of weakening the tt'uditiunahcordiality be.
tween Russia and the United States. They
have been disappointed thus far, but if we
were to appoint as Minister
men of the Clay stamp or; the Orrtstamp,
the hopes of our ill-wishers might in the end
be accomplished. Gov. Jewell had in one
sense an easy task in coming after Orr. He
fiatttcring to him and useful to us, and on
nis departure the Emperor showed him
marks of regard which went far beyond the t
requirements of etiquette or the usual mani-
festations of courtesy. '
The second point I referred to was the re

had his attention turned, as a diversio
has, from time to time, made discoveries
that are likely to write the name of Elisha
Gray alongside ofthat of Morse. The latest
is one which Prof. Henry, 0 the Smith-
sonian Institute, pronounce one of the
most important discoveries of the age. Mr.
G'ray, who is now the Superintendent ofthe
Western Electric Manufacturing Company,
previously unsuspected, that sounds of dif-
ferentpiteh may be transmitted by telegraph,
but has found the way of doing it, and is
able to play a tune throughawire a thou-
of the discovery, which is likely to revolu-
tionize at least cable telegraphy, lies in the
fact that a number of messages, as many as
twenty or more, each in a iti‘ereut. “key,”
can be sent over the same line at the some
time, while the savings in battery power—
the greatest difficulty in cable telegraphing
--is immense. Leading telegraph tnen are
so impressed with ’the importance of this
discovery, which has been covered by letters -
patent here and in England, that they have
organized a company with a capital stock
ofa million dollars to secure its benefits.
Mr. Gray is one of those modest Christian
gentlemen whose success is as much a
gratification to friends as to himself.

for several hundred feet in one direction,
though progress tvas at times very difficult,
owing to the sudden contractions in size,
which made it nescssary to crawl upon the
hands and knees. No limits have yet been
reached, and it is possible that a large phr-
tion of the Island is honey-comet] by these
subterranean passages which have hitherto
been undiscovered.
Toward the sound the cavern descends
rapidly,aud the explorers feared to pene-
trate too far lest the water should burst in
upon them and extinguish their candles and
themselves.
It has been conjectured that these caves
are the works of indiane, whose war whoop
formerly resounded where now flourish
cultivated fields; and that the rapidity with
which .in the early settlement of the country,
their forces were accumulated at any‘ point
in so silenta manner was owing to these
subterranean means of communication.
Whether this excavation may not extend
ttntler the Sound to the Connecticut shore,
is now, agitating many minds. However
this may bc,savants are decided upon the
opinion that the caves are due to natural
causes, and not attributed to the labors of
any prehistoric races. That the place was

Mary Angell sued the Dry Dock and East

for killing her husband, and the case was
tried before Judge Sedgwick in the Superior
Court. Her husband, according to the
testimony, was on the front platform of the
sand miles 1035’- The practicalimportancc car, and after twice telling the driver to
stop, and being carried beyond his destina-
tion, rather than be carried further, jumped
off. He fell, and the wheels passed over his
legs. After lingering some time he died.
The defence was that jumping from the

Our boys ought not to be tempted to such
dangerous sports. Still more, they should
be protected from an infinitely worse evil

one man, liquor slays a thousand; Where
