wriAr DR. RICHARDSON, run Anrnon or “run
lironxio CITY," SAYS ABOUT IT.
Dr. Richardson, whose articles on health
have been cited so much, in a recent English
publication produces an article called “Health
at Home,” which is replete with wisdom. A
most important point, and one on which he
dwells, is the fact that so many people are'
afraid of the light. “I a dark and gloomy
house you never'can see the dirt that pollutes
it.
soon learns to apologize for this condition be-
cause the gloom conceals it.” Accordingly,
when a house is dark and dingy, the air be-
comes impure, not only on account of the ab-
sence of light, but from the impurities which
are accumulated. Now, as Dr. Richardson
cleverly puts it, we place flowers in our win-
dows that they may. have the light. If this be
the case, why should we deprive ourselves of
the sunshine and expect to gain health and
vigor? Light, and plenty of it, is not only a
purifier of things inanimate, but it absolutely
stimulates our brains. It is in regard to sick-
rooms that this excellent authorityis particu-
larly impressive. It used to be the habit of
physicians in old times to seduously darken
the room, and this practice continues to some;
extent even tO-day. In certain very acute
cases of nervous diseases where light,the least
ray of— it, disturbs in over-exciting the visual
organs, this darkening Of the room may be
permitted, but ordinarily to keep light out of
the room is to deprive the patient of one of
the vital forces. Childr’en or old people con-
demnedto live in darkness are pale and wan,
exactly like those plants which, deprived of
light, grow white. Darkness in the daytime
undoubtedly makes the blood flow less strong-
ly, and checks the beating_of the heart, and
these conditions are precisely such as bring
constitutional suffering and disease. The
suppression of the light of day actually in—
creases those contagious maladies which feed
on uncleanliness. Dr. Richardson states:
‘ ‘I once found by experiment that certain
organic poisons, analogous to the poisons
which propagate these diseases, are rendered
innocuous by exposure to light." Once in
England there was a tax placed on windows,
but this was driven out of English legislation
after awhile, never to be brought up again,
because it was a tax on human health. This
leading authority on hygiene has a great deal
of fault to find with some of the architectu—
ral dementia of to—day. A fashion introduc-
ed in England, and which has some feeble
imitations in this country, is to re—produce
the styles Of the Queen Anne houses. This
peculiar method indulges in .small panes of
glass, overhanging windows, sharp, long
roofs, with tiny openings. It is a relic of
ancient perversity,pictnresque, if you please,
but perfectly at variance with the dictates of
common sense. If you have big windows,
which say admit too much light, the glare of
which is uncomfortable, a shade or curtain
will keep out the sun; but have small win-
dows, barely admitting the invigorating air
and light, do what you please, you cannot
increase either air or light. Such cramped
windows interfere with the great work God
gave to the sun. Architectural elegance
ought always to be subsidiary to the necessi—
ties of health. In the United States, though
with aclimate differing from that of Eng—
land, the'laws of health are the same. Our
August glare he‘ats our houses, but still it
should be admitted at times. A house dark-
ened and kept darkened from the middle of
J one to the lat of September is an unwhole-
some house. Its coolness may apparently be
refreshing, but the air of the rooms, which
stagnates, contains undoubtedly germs of
disease, which are not the less dangerous be—
cause they are unappreciable. As it is, then,
only the windows of the house, with panes
of glass which admit the light, the precau-
tions to keep them clean and bright are not
so much measures of tidiness as absolutely
hygienic necessities. As regards windows
and their construction, American invention
has in this respect not advanced anything
like in proportion to other things. The usual
window with its counterpoise weight presents
unusual difficulties as to cleansing it. You
can get inside of it, but the outside presents
great difficulties. Save in the lower stories,
it may be pretty generally asserted that the
upper windows of a house, the most import-
ant of all, which give light to the sleeping
rooms, the glass is rarely bright and clean.
There seems to be a decided reluctance on
the part of builders to put in houses either
the French window, which simply works
like a door, or those windows which, hung
in the middle, revolve on the centre. For
ventilation alone; such windows have great
advantages over the old styles, and they can
be cleaned with perfect ease.—-New York
Times.
This BILL or Cosrs—In spite of the hard
times and increased taxation, the British
public spent a million dollars more last year
in all kinds of intoxicating liquors than they
did before. This does not seem a large
amount, but when it is considered that the
whole sum so expended during‘ the your
reached no less than $710,000,000, it will not
be wondered that the prtcrnal government
stands by the distillers and brewers from
whose trade is derived a very large part of
the public revcnue.

Mrs. Partington {It the Sociable.
There was no mistaking the costume, and
the fact that the venerable dame led a small
boy by the hand, confirmed the impression
that Mrs. Partington was indeed in the as-
semblage. There was a momentary lull in
the buzz of conversation, and the party
gathered around the new comer, eager to
shake her by the hand. “Bless me!" said
she, with a beaming smile, which played
over her face like sunshine over a lake.
“Bless me! how salutary you all are i—just
as you ought to be at a time like this, when
nothing harmonious should be allowed to
disturb your hostilities. .You are very kind,
I’m shore, and I am glad to see you trying
to enjoy yourselves. We had no church so -

like aboy on thin ice—“and though we had
good times, 'and sociable enough, goodness
knows, when the :rcd ears were found, they
were nothing to the superflulty of this.”
There was a slight disturbance in the circle,
as Ike in his restlessness placed hishecl on a
circumjacent toe, but it was stilled as the
master of ceremonies came up to introduce
the minister. “Glad to see you madam,”
said the minister, “I hope you may find the
hour spent with us a happpy one.” I know
I shall, sir," replied she, “for happiness de-
pends very much on how we enjoy our—
selves, and enough of anything always
satisfies me. How could I help enjoying
myself in a scene of such life and animosity
as this!” “Very true, madam.” “And then
the lights, blazing like a coaternation, and
the music and flowers make it seem like
Pharoah land.” The minister was called
away, and the master of ceremonies asked
Mrs. P, if she would like “A nice,” which
she faintly heard. “an ice—«—?” she re-
plied, looking at him and hanging on to the
long—d, as if it were the top bar of a gate;
“oh, very.” A rush, by the contestants in a
game, here broke in between them, the band
gave a crash which seemed to“. start the
roof, the mass of people waved to and fro;
Ike started off with a new crony in quest
of some suggested peanuts. and Mrs. Parting-
ton backed into a seat. She looked pleas-
antly upon the moving spectacle through her
own parabolas, her fingers beat lime to the
music,and he l-factories inhaled the breath
of flowers an he smell of coffee from an
adjacent room, till she was becoming “lost"
when she realized that a figure was standing
before her, and a cold spoon was being
thrust into her right hand. It was the at—
tentive manager, again, with an ice-cream
which he invited her to take. “You are
very surprising, sir,” said she smiling. “I
was unconcionable at the moment. Thank
you; I will. I am very partially fond of
ice-cream, and this is manilla, too, which is
my favorite.” She ate with a sense of en—
joyment caught from the scene andwent
away soon after, when Ike had joined her,
with plethoric pockets, bidding the mana-
ger convey a good night from her to the
party, saying she had enjoyed a real sociable
time. .
SUNDAY Souoor. TALK Br THE Poar Driv-
ANT,-—William Cullen Bryan, who has been
summering at his farm in Cummingtonmade
an address Sunday to the Sunday school of
the west village, an informal fatherly talk,
no less enjoyed by his older hearers than by
the little ones for whom it was specially in-
tended. It was substantially as follows:
My young friends, I am not much accus-
tomed to addressing young people like you,
but I hope to be understood. The Poet
Collins said he had but one book, and that
the best one, it was the Bible. _ ,In the New
Testament you will find all the rules you
need to guide you in the paths of virtue;
follow them and you will be in sympathy
with Christ. I have visited the place where
Christ spent his youthful days; the scenery
was delightful. The fig trees were just put-
iing forth their beauties, the flowers were
in bloom; among them was the cyclamen
with its nodding blossoms, and the hyacinth
with its blue bells. I could but imagine
that Jesus must have picked such flowers
with his little hands when he was a child.
He evidently sought every opportunity to
store his mind with knowledge. Just here
Mr. Bryant told in touching language the
story of Christ going to Jerusalem with his
parents when but.twelvc years old, and his
wonderful answer to his' mother’s tender in-
quiries when she found him among the doc-
tors, “Wist ye not that I must be about my
Father's business ?” He lived in the utmost
harmony with his mother’s family, and was
obedient to all their wishes. He worked at
the carpenter's trade with his ,father, and
made honest and faithful work. When at
your age he was gathering up truths, asI
hope you will do in the Sabbath school and
when you read the Testament. They had no
Sabbath schools in his days. You have
heard some good sermons from this desk,and
never such a sermon as Christ delivered upon
the mount, which surpassed all other ser—
mons. Jesus never uttered a falsehood, he
never quarreled with his associates, he never
disobeyed his parents, he tried to impart to
others the good which he possessed. I hope
you will follow his example. Mr. Bryant
was also to deliver a temperance address at
the West Cummington Church last Sunday.
He did not go to the Bennington celebration
as he says he likes to keep out of crowds.
AN INDIAN VILLAGE INCALIronNIA.—A Mis-
sionary Snowden, of the American Sunday
School Union in California, in canvassing
for a Sunday school with his son, of eleven
years, recently passing through a canyon in
the mountains, suddenly came upon a camp
or village of about 100 Indians. Some of
them could speak English. They gladly
gave him the privilege of holding a meeting
there and.preaching to them. He and his
little boy sang with them such hymns as,
“All hail the power of Jesus name,” and
“Shall we gather at the river ?" and then, by
an interpeter,the missionary pr'cached to them"
a short sermon, tO which they frequently
responded, “Ugh! Ugh l”—and at the close
expressed their thanks for the preaching
and the singing. Within two miles of their
village themissionary organized a Sunday
school for the pale faces, and for the Indians
also, if they will attend. .

LUCIEN BoNArAiirn.-—Napolcon’s interest
at home were jealously and intelligently
guarded by his brothers Joseph, and Lucien
who had become men Of importance in the
government before his return to Italy; and
when he was absent in Egypt it was his
brother Joseph who dispatched the wily
Greek Bourbaki in hot haste to warn him
that the fullness of time was come for him
to make an end of the Directory. The
success of the 18th Brumaire was due to
great part to the fact that the three allies
upon whom he most implicitly counted in—
side the government were his own brothers,
bound to him by every tie of affection and
interest. Joseph had declined the mission
to Berlin, to remain in Paris as a member
of the Council of Five Hundred; Lucien
was President of it, and young Louis was
also a member. His brothers were his prin—
cipal go-betwccns in that drama of unparal-
leled treachery by which the Directors were
divided ' and disarlued. On the final day
at St. Cloud, when Napoleon had failed in
his attempt to intimidate the Assembly, and
had been borne fainting from the hall, it
was Lucien who, mounting on horseback,
presented himself to the troops as the repre-
sentative of the law, and commanded them
to disperse by the bayonet the Assembly he
had betrayed. He showed on the occasion
far greater courage and presence of mind
than Napoleon, and roused the soldiers to
enthuiasm by a piece of comedy which now
seems absurd enough. He seized a sword,
at the end of his 'harrangue, and cried: “I
swear to thrust this through the heart of
my brother if he should ever strike a blow
at the liberties of France.” The soldiers
applauded; Murat hurried them. forward
at a quick step. The drums beat a charge,
to drown the voices of the outraged legisla—
tors,and the liberties of France were at an
end for many long yeras. * * *
Lucien, with alljhis adroit devotion, was
the‘only brother of Napoleon who did not
become a king. He was, it is true, M inistcr
of the Interior during the early years of
the Consulate; butrhis independence soon
embroiled him with the First 'Consul, and
after a short but brilliant service as am—
bassador and tribune, he married the di—
vorced .wife of the great broker J ouberthon,
against his brother’s positive prohibition,
and encountered his hitter and malignant
hostility for the rest of her days.' He never
surrendered his dignity and manhood; and
after, the Consulate had blossomed into the
Empire, and Napoleon was disposing of
crowns and thrones among his family with
a lavish hand, Lucien alone had the courage
to refuse these glittering bribes which were
offered as the price of his honor. The
Emperor knew his value, and wished to
employ- him: he offered him a crown—the
crown was not specified, but he always had
a supply on hand, or made them when he
wished—a princely husband for his daught—
er, and a duchy for his wife if he would
divorce her. But L'ucien declined; and the
Emperor, in a whirling rage, struck his
name out of the imperial almanac—“strang-
ering him with his curse.” Misfortune
united them only for'a moment, after Water-
loo, and Lucien,’whom the Pope had made
Prince of Banino, passed the evening of his
life tranquilly in archaeological studies in
Italy, where he died in 1840, leaving _a
numerous and amiable family members of
which became famous in the world of lit—
erature and science, and married with mem-
bers of the highest aristocracy of Italy.
The celebrated Madame Ratazzi was his
granddaughter; and the shooting by his son

tor Noir contributed powerfully to shake

in straitened circumstances, and his wife.

Persons who suppose that chronicling the
movements of people and social events is an
invention of the present time are very much
mistaken, as the following extract from a
newspaper letter written at Newport as long
ago as 1846jwill show}: “Ball last night at the
Ocean; regular hop; well attended; nobs
present; snobs too; gobs of snobs; dancing
bad; bad dancing; Anglo-Saxons bad danc-
ers; takes Frenchmen; American people
dance better; fast beginning. Nous oerrons.”
Those who think, too, that the description of
ladies’ toilets is a peculiarly American inno-
vation, are equally in error. To such is es—
pecially commended this extract from the
London Court Journal of the 6th ultimo:
“Noricn.—Her Majesty Drawing Room, to
be held on Friday, the 12th. inst—Descrip-
lions of the costumes must be sent to the
Court Journal office on or before Friday
next, or they cannot be inserted." To this
it may be added that the notion entertained
in some quarters that descriptions of dresses
and entertainments must bedista’steful to or
depreciated by the persons most directly
interested is even more erroneous than the
other two assumptions named above. It not
unfrequently happens tO newspaper people
that they are expressly requested by those
giving entertainments or wearing notably fine
costumes to have them described carefully
and in detail. It often happens, furthermore,
that those who are in the habit of condemn-
ing such things “before folks," are the very
ones who ask such favors.
STOPPING A NEWSPAPER—An exchange
has the following allegory, which we com-
mend to careful consideration: “A certain
man hit his toe against a pebble, and fell
headlong to the ground. He Wfi vexed ,and'
under the influence of anger and self-suffi-
ciency he kicked mother earth right saucily.
With imperturablc gravity, he looked to see
the earth itself dissolved and come to naught.
But the earth remained and only his poor
foot was injured in the encounter. This is
the way of man. An article in a newspaper
touches him in a weak spot, and forthwith he
sends to stop his paper. With great com-
placency he looks to see the crash, when he
finds he only hit his own toe against a world
that does not perpetually feel the shock, and
he injures no one but himself.” .

The Influence of a Great Man’s

On the way to Lincoln, writes Burdette to
the Burlington Hawkegedt was my good for-
tune to meet Frances Willard on the _train_
She is a brilliant, entertaining conversation—
alist, and how well she talked about Grant
and the turned glasses at his place at the
banquet tables. Certainly it was a grand
thing for him to do. Grander than pounding
Vicksburg into dust and submission ; grander
than the terrible victories of the Wilderness;
grander even than standing on the neck of
humbled and crushed rebellion at Appomat—
tox; it was the grandest of all victories, the
victory over self, for “he that rulcth his spirit
is better than he that taketll a city.” And the
man who saved the Republic has perhaps no
idea of the great good his example in the
house of feasting llas‘ wrought among the
men, and especially the young men, who ad-
mire Grant. In morc than one instance this
Spring have I heard tin action quoted by
some young fellow at a banquet table, as he
turned his .glass, “in imitation,” he would
say, “of Grant.”_ And I think it the bright-
est leaf in the great soldier’s laurels—the
fairest deed of the man who saved the Re—

President Haycs is reported by “Parley”
of the Boston Journal as expressing his op—
position to the third term as follows: “I
think there should be an amendment to the
constitution providing for a term of six
years, with a prohibition against a second
election. When Congress and the executive
are not in political accord it takes' up nearly
four years for them to get together so as to
work with entire success._and about the time
they do begin to approach one another a
breach is created by the desire of Congress to
make one president and the executive to
make another, either himself or some friend.
Even when Congress and the President are
of the some political party,lcgislation is often
retarded by the differences between them
about who is to succeed him or who are to
would avoid a. material part of these differ—
ences.” Mr. Hayes thinks that a third or
indefinite number of terms is a violation of
an unwritten law of the republic. He thinks
well of Grant, and is especially pleased with
his recent speeches in the South, which he
thinks a complete defense of his (Haycs’s) ad-
ministration. '

“Whales are becoming numerous in the
ocean," says an exchange. We like a slate-
ment that gives the full facts as this one does.
It rclievcs one of the suspicion that whales
are becoming numerous on the prairies, or
that they are infesting the woods or hiding in
caves on the mountains. People now know
where to be on the lookout for whales. Bos-

The Yosemite valley, first made known to
the public in 1855, had 1,022 visitors in the
following ten years. Thenceforward the
number annually increased slightly until

began to retrogade a little, and was 2,423 ; in
1876 it was further reduced to 1,917, in 1877
to 1,395, in'1878 to 1,183,'in 1879, owing to

The Dead Canary.
Full six years I’ve watched with care
Two cages in my window hung;
Where Dick and Lillie charmed the sir :
With many a little love tale sung;
Two birdies reared within one nest—
One gray, one softest lemon hue;
With tinge of gold on either breast;
Their eyes like beads of morning dew!
There elch, within its little home
Half-hid among the curlain folds,
Has roamed from floor to perch, Io dome.
Or some sly nook which treasure holds.
As if all voices else to drown,
They’ve chirped and warbled out the day;
Then, rounded into balls of down,
Have dozed the listless night pway!
0ft have I felt mine eyes aglow,
When musing in my cosy sent,
To hear their honeyed language flow;
“Dicky !" ‘shc’d cry; he’d answer, “Sweet! "
A moment pausing there to still
His heart, he’d lift his beak above;
And then, till breathless, chant or trill
The ecstasy of birdies’ love!
At morn, around the bathing cup,
I’ve often heard them—half asleep—
But when' they spied me looking up,
They’d crouch and sings cunning “Peep I”
And there the sprightly, Witching elves,
Like frolicking but stainless girls,
With coyish looks would douse themselves,
Then fling me out a shower of pearls.
Lillie, for years, had been content
To chant a low response, or sing
Some simple strain of soft assent,
When Dick his love was caroling!
But now, a soothing lay she sings—
As mothers, who have never sung,
Draw melody from hidden springs
For lullabies to still their young!
One morn, within her cage was found
A tiny egg; her voice was hushed
In silence while 'twas handed round-—
When, by some sad mishap, ’twas crushed.
Some days in silent sorrow spent,
Lillie at length produced its ‘ mate;
But, as ’twere some ill omen meant,
ft shared the same mysterious fate.
One-loving hand a nest had brought;
. Yet, as a senseless dread prevailed
0f rearing birds—a deep, cold thought ‘
Of care I—the tender purpose failed.
Never from this does she engage '
In song, nor give her heart’s wish o’er;
There, in one corner of her cage,
She sits upon the barren floor.
With no weak doubt, no hostile will,
No'care for self, no prudish pride,
She aims her mission to fulfill,
With instinct only for her guide.
Patient, unswerving in her cause;
A fruitless, willing sacrifice
To tender nature's yearning laws,
At length poor Lillie, pining, dies!
Ye murderers, unawed by fear,
Who bend at Herod’s crimson shrine I—
Turn Once a scaleless vision here,
And view this lifeless bird of mine;
Then in your hell-born purpose pause!
Forsake the path so reckless trod;
Lest, while ye scoff at Nature’s laws,
Ye feel the withering curse of God!
—George W. Elliott, in N. Y. Evening Post.
THE PROUD ONE.
BY THOMAS WESTWOOD.
The queen is proud upon her throne,
And proud are her maids so fine;
But the proudest lady that ever was known
Is this little lady of mine.
And 0! she flonts me, she floats me!
And spurns and scorns and scouts me!
Though I drop on my knees and sue for
grace,
And beg and beseech with the saddest face
Still ever the same she doubts me.
She is seven by the calender
A lily’s almost as tall;
But 0! this little lady's by far
The proudest lady of all!
It’s her sport and pleasure. to float me!
To spam and scorn and scout me!
But 0! I've a notion it’s naught but play,
And that, say what she will and feign what
, she may, '
She canfido well without me!
For at times, like a pleasant tune,
A sweeter mood o’ertakes her;
0 I then she’s sunny as skies of June, ‘
And all her pride forsakes her.
0! she dances round me so fairly!
0! her laugh rings out so rarely!
OI she coaxes and nestles and peers and
pries ‘ '
In my puzzled face with her two great eyes
And owns she loves me dearly.
APPLE-BLOSSOMS.
BY REV. DB. II. N. POWERS.
The apple-tr ees with bloom are all aglow—
Soft drifts of perfumed light—
A miracle of mingled fire and snow—
A laugh of Spring’s delight l
Their ranks of creamy splendor pillow deep
The valley’s pure repose;
0n mossy walls, in meadows nooks they heap
Surges of frosted rose.
Around old homesteads, clustering ihick,they
shed -
Their sweets to murm‘ring bees,
And o‘er hushed lanes and way side foun-
tains spread
Their pictured canopies.
Green, breasted knolls and forest edges wear
Their beautiful array , -
And lonesome graves are sheltered, here and
there
With their memorial spray.
The eiforescence on unnumbered boughs
Pants with delicious breath;
O’er me seem laughing eyes and fair, smooth
brows,
And shapes too sweet for death.
Clusters of dimpled faces float between
The soft caressing plumes,
And lovely creatures ’mong the branch: lean,
Lulled by faint, flower-bérn tunes.
Arude wind blows, and as the blossoms fall,
My heart is borne away:
Fainter and fainter tender voices call
Of my enamoured May.
Fuinter and fainteri—oh, how strange it seem,
With so much sweetness fled!
I go like one who dreams within his dreams
That, living, he is dead!
—Scrz‘oner’s for June.
A Pastoral against Trixie Unions.
Archbishop 'l‘aschearn, of Quebec, has is—
sued a pastoral condemning trade unions,
which says: Let every one remember that a
. man's labor is his own and that it is his lib-
err y to sell it at whatsoever prices he pleases.
He has the same control over his labor that a
man has over his own farm. Therefore,
labor unions sin grievously against justice
whenever they attempt to force men to join
these unions or to work for the price fixed by
these unions. Wq_warn Catholics not to be
in any manner partners in any attempt to
force others by violence or otherwise to enter
these unions or to work at the prices paid by
these societies. Any Catholic who shall at-
tack or conspire to attach any person because
such person works, has Worked or is willing
to work at a price which he thinks fit shall
be excommunicated. The absolui ions for
these excommunications is hereby reserved
to us and our views-general.
