The Two Twilights.
“There are two twilights unto every day—-
Twilight of dawn and twilight of decay.
And likewise thus we find
Two twilights in the thinking of mankind,
The twilight of a seeking unto light,
The twilighr of a doubting unto night.”
—A. E. Hamilton, in “He yiaetlt Sandi"

Making Home Attractive.
New York Times. '
It has latterly been discovered that the.
reason why men, whether young or old, take
todissipation and drunkenness is the fact
that home is not made attractive to them
Formerly we were told that intemperance
was exclusively the wark of the rumseller.
who compelled his fellow men to drink. As
a matter of fact, no one, except a profes?
sional temperance lecturer, has seen the rum
seller engaged in his favorite occupation of
invading peaceful homes, dragging fathers
and sons from their beds, and by force of
arms compelling them to come to his place
of business and to buy vast quantities of
rum. Such, however, must formerly have
been his contant practice, or else there was
some mistake in the assertion that he is alone
responsible for intemperance, and that the
poor innocent drunkard is,his defenseless and
pitible victim.
'After the public had grown tired of hear
ing of the infamous exploits of the sum-
seller, it was discovered that men drank rum
and went to objectionable places of amuse-
ment because their homes were not made
attractive. Such was the defense which Mr.
Higglnbottom, of West Thirty-eight street,
urged in his own behalf.‘ He admitted that
he was accustomed to drink more than was
good for him, and that be frequently spent
his evenings at low concert saloons, but he
insisted that the fault was all his wife’s.
She did nothing to make home attractive
It is true that she furnished him with a com-
fortable dinner, but after dinner nothing
was done to make him happy. He could
either put on his slippers and sit down
before the grate-fire to read, or he could talk
with his wife, who was a bright, affectionate
and cheerful little woman, but such occu—
pations as these could not have any possible
charm for a man of intellect and taste. Mr.
Higginbottom deeply bewailed his fondness
for rum and concert saloons,but be appealed
to all unprejudiced men to concede that he
was really blameless. “If my home was only
made attractive to me, gentlemen,"—he was
in the habit of saying to the members of a
leadingtemperance society who periodically
called on him" to urge him to reform—“I
would gladly spend all my evenings at home
but as it is I am literally driven to seek com-
fort elsewhere, though I am a man eminent—
ly fitted to enjoy the pleasures of home life,"
So struck were several temperance men with
the force of Mr. Higginbottom’s remafi‘rs
that not long ago they called on his wife
and begged her to make an effort to save her
unhappy husband by making his home at—
tractive.
Mrs. Higginbottom consented to make the
desired effort, and. as a first step, visited
her husband's favorite concert saloon under
the protection of a disguise and a detective
oflicer. When she had learned what were the
attractions which most powerfully appealed
to Mr. Higginbottom’s mind, she proceeded
to reproduce them as far as practicable in her
own house. She had the parlor carpet taken
up and the bare floor nicely sprinkled with
beer. and the stumps of cigars. She removed
the pictures from the walls, and hung in
their places cheap and gaudy chromps rep-
resenting impossible young women in unde-
sirable costumes. Two dirty wooden tables
and a. supply of wooden chairs from the
kitchen completed the furniture of the room
and it began to assumes really attractive ap—
pearance. .
Before the hour of her husband’s return
from his business, Mrs. Higginbottom hired
a man to play on an accordeon and another
to torture a violin, besides three professional
drunkards of great indecency of appearance
and conduct, and a notorious burglar kindly
furnished for the occasion by the Police
Captain of the Precinct. There were in the
kitchen two Irish girls who , were decidedly
ugly, but who were clean. decent, and
modest girls. These two she instrucit din
the art of serving beer and spirits, and
dressed them in costumes that were ex—
tremely vulgar, though they could not be
said to be improper. Having thus arranged
all things, she met her husband at the door
. and escorted him to the dining-room, where
he ate his dinner, unconscious of the trans—
formation that had been wrought in his
front parlor.
After dinner, Mr. Higginbottom lit his
cigar and remarked that he must go out for
an hour or two to see a friend. His wife,
with a sweet smile, told him that he need not
go out, for she had finally discovered how ,to
make home attractive to him. So saying,
she showed him,into the parlor and led him
to a seat on one of the dirty tables. The
fiddler and the accordeon-player immediate-
ly struck up: the drunkards, at a sign from
Mrs. Higginbottom, began to swear and
wrangle, and the burglar sidled up to Mr.’
Higginbottom and invited him to take a
drink. The two Irish girls brought beer
and spilled it on Mr. Higginbottom's table;
they called him ”Dear," and asked him to
“open a bottle of wine,” and Mr. Higginbot-
tom, apologizing for the fact that they were
undeniably decent girls, assured her husband
that nevertheless she was confident that she
had finally learned how to make home at-
tractive; that she hoped to spend many jolly
evenings with him, and would like a hot
whisky without any furthef delay.
Mr. Higginbottom was at first completely
dazed, but in a few moments he recovered
his reason. He ordered the girls to go into
the kitchen and stay there, and he pitched
the drunkards out of the frent door, and or-
dered the musicians and the burglar tofol—
low them. Then he informed his wife that
he had been an idiot of the very largest size.
and that if she would restore the parlor to
its former condition he would stay at home
and make no further complaint of its want of
attractiveness. .
Mrs. Higgiubottom’s plan cannot very
well be followed by other women, but it was
certainly a brilliant success Mr. Higgin—
bottom has ceased to spend the evenings away
from home, and he has informed his tern-
perance friends that the real reason why he
formerly frequented disreputable places was
the fact that he was a fool and a scoundrel.
The temperance people are, of course, glad
that he has reformed, but they still main—
tain that men become dissolute and drunken
solely because their homes are not made at—
tractive
Brazil covers nearly half the surface of
South America, and yet its population is less
than 12,000,000 Of these over 1,000,000 are
slaves and 2,900,000 are wild aborigines. By
a law of 1371 no more slaves are to be born
in that country, so that this curse will in
time disappear. Under the enlightened rule
of Emperor Dom Pepro allreligions are tole-
rated. Eighteen years ago the first Protest-
ant church was organized in Rio J anerio, and
since that time churches have been estab-
lished at San Paulo, at Brotas and a few other
places, numbering in all over 1,000 members.
The whole country is open, and only needs
the right men and women also, to go in and
low and reap.
When a boy walks with a girl as though he
were afraid some one would see him, the girl

to nearly crowd her against the fence, it is

Gough’s Segars.
John B. Gough, who has faced over 8,000
audiences, acknowledges that on one occa-
sion, and one only,he encountered an embar-
rassment he could not overcome. It was his
own fault, he says, and proved asharp lesson
he never forgot. In his own words:
I was engaged to address a large number of
children in the afternoon, the meeting to be
held on the lawn back of the Baptist church
in Providence, R. I. In the afternoon a friend
met me and said:
“I have some first-rate cigars,will- you have
a few ?”
“No thank you.”
“Do take half a dozen.”
“I have no where to put them.”
“You can put half a dozen in your pocket."
“I wore a cap in those days, and I put the
cigars into it, and at the appointed time I
went to the meeting. I ascended the platform
and faced an audience of more than 2000
children. As it was out of doors I kept my
cap on, for fear of taking cold, and I forgot.
all about the cigars. Toward the close of my
speech I became much in earnest, and after
warning the boys against bad company, bad
habits and the saloons, I said:
“Now, boys, let us give three: rousing
cheers for temperance and for cold water.
Now, then. three cheers. Hurrah!”
And taking off my cup. I waved it most
vigorously, when away went the cigars right
into the midst of the audience. The remain-
ing cheers were very faint, and were nearly
drowned in the laughter of the crowd. I was
mortified and ashamed, and should have been
relieved could I have sunk through the plat—
form out of sight. My feelings were still
more aggravated by a boy‘ coming up to the
s: eps of the platform with one of those dread-
ful cigars, saying: “Here’s one of your ci-
gars, Mr. Gough." .
Though I never afterwards put cigars in
my cap or hat, when going to a meeting,l am
ashamed to say it was some time after that
before I gave up cigars alibgether.
An anecdote of Gladstone.
The man is more interesting than any of
the parts he has been called to play ; but we
come to understand the man better by seeing
how he shapes and molds these parts. As
an orator, his conspicuous merits, beside his
striking Countenance, dignified action, and a
voice, full, rich, and. admirably modulated,
are fertility and readiness. He-seems to have
always at command an inexhaustible store of
ideas, reasons, illustrations, whatever he the
V subject which he is required to deal with.
Of all great English speakers, probably no
one, not even William Pitt, has been so in
dependent of preparation.Even Fox,swift and
rushing as he was, was great only i nreply,
when his feelings were heated by the atmos—
phere of battle, whereas Mr. Gladstone is
just as animated and forcible in an opening
or in a purely ornamental and uncontentious
harangue, as in the midst of parliamentary
strife. One of the many anecdotes that are
current illustrating his amazing power of
rising to an occasion, one may be given
which has the merit of being true. On the
afternoon when he was to make an impor-
tant motion in the House of Commons, a
friend, happening to call on him between
two and three o’clock, found him just sitting
down to make some notes of the coming
speech. He laid aside his pen and talked for
a while, then jotted down a few heads on
paper,‘went down to the House before four
o’clock, found himself drawn into a
preliminary controversy of a very trying
nature, in which he had to repel so many
questions and attacks that it was past six
before he rose to make the great speech. He
then discovered that, as he had left his eye-
glasses at home, his notes were practically
useless, put them quietly back into his pock-
- ct, and delivered with no aid to his memory,
and upon that one hour’s preparation, a
powerful argument interspersed with pass-
ages of wonderful passion and pathos, which
lasted for three hours, and will always rank
amongst his finest efforts—Scribner for No-
umber.
A Humbug Hobby.
We do not believe there is a greater hum~
bug than that of civil service reform. No
party believes in it, and whatever may be
said of the evils of party rule, politics are a
necessity in a country like ours, and we
doubt very much whether it is not best and
right for the party in power to select for its
officials largely those in sympathy with its
policy. \Ve think a great deal too much is
made of the necessity of taking men accus—
tomed to the position to be the head of any
one department. The fact is, the work is

From a series of experiments regarding the
size of drops and their use in measuring
medicines, etc., Mr. T. L. Talbot finds that
liquids containing asmall proportion of water
afford a small drop, and vice versa. Gmelin’s
statement that “the cohesion of liquids is
pretty nearly in proportion to their specific
gravity" is questioned, as it is shown that
alcohol and mercury furnish nearly the same
number of drops to the drachm. The largest
drop is formed by the syrup of gum arable—
44 to the drachm—and the smallest by
chloroform—250 to the drachm. The size of
drops is affected considerably by the shape of
the lip over which it falls.

A German scientist recommends parafilne
as an efiicient means of protecting wood
against damp, acids and alkalies. The wood

of carbon. The solvents evaporate quickly,
leaving the parafiine in the pores of the wood.
Great care should be‘taken in the use of the
preparation, as all of the substances mention
ed are especially inflammable.

would you like to know the reasons why cer-
tain things occur as they do? If you have
an inquiring mind in this direction, then
give yourself up to the study of philosophy.
Have your taste for book-keeping or clerk-

If so, devote your winter evenings to the

The a eal for relief made by some of .the
Cincinngt‘i) Catholics to Pope Leo XIII. is a
deeply earnest one. They ask his aid in liq-
uidating the liabilities of Archbishop Purcell,
which still amount to about $4,000,000. They
hope that in consideration of the great amount
of money which is generously contributed by
the Catholics of the world to the Pope, his
Holiness may see the way clear to bestow .of
his abundance to pay at least a part of the ill
debtedness. The argument for the propriety
of this is based on the fact not only that the
Archbishop's ecclesiastical positron carried
a moral responsibility on the part . of the
Church, but that the money which passed
through his hands went, to a very large ex—
tent, lor church buildings, which became the
property of the Church. The petitioners say
that the granting of their request wrll put an
end to the present litigation, and will restore
peace and happiness to thousands of distress-
ed families. '

FOR. Goonon It,”
Only a word!
Yet it bore on its holy breath
A message that God had given
To kindly warn from the ways of death—
Aud a soul was led to heaven.
Only a word 1
Spoken in scorn by lips that smiled,
But a haunting doubt’s black shade
Was cast in the trusting heart of a child,
And a life-long darkness made.
5
Only a word!
Yet there lay in its heart, enshrined
Like the germ in a tiny seed,
A thought, that fell in an earnest mind,
And grez to a noble deed.
Only a word 2
No more widely the ocean parts
Land from land with its ebb and flow,
Than one false word severed kindly heart!
That loved, in the long ago.
Only a word!
The whispered “amen," of a prayer,—
But it flew, like a swift-winged dove,
From-the stormy depths at a soul's despair,
*‘ To the Falhér’sheart of love.
Only a word!
0b, choose it wisely, weigh it well;
Send it forth with love and faith;
It may be, the message one word can tell,
Will rescue a soulfrom death.

Near and Afar.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
The joy that we most desire,
Is never the joy that‘s near;
1n the splendor of rich attire,
Still distant our dreams appear. -
And ever as we approach them
They slowly recede and lure
.,Us on to another country,
Where pleasures are more secure.
The friends that were oncé united—
Companions of yesterday—
The loves that our love requited—
, Sweet treasures—ah, where are they ?
Borne out of our reach like phantoms
Whose beauty we scarcely guessed,
They leave us with eager longings
' For what we have once possessed. ‘
Our homes, with their altars holy,
From whence love’s fires arise,
Where hearts that are pure and lowly
Make sweetest sacrifice,
Shine brighter when they have entered
Where memory’s walls begin,
Than when in our careless childhood,
We peacefully dwelt therein.
’Tis ever the heart’s confession,
’Tis ever a common law,
That jewels beyond possession
Seem fashioned without a flaw;
But if, as our meed of service,
The coveted prize we claim,
The touch of our hand is fatal,
And quenchcs the lovely fiame.
And not till our idols crumble,
'And our blossoms begin to fall.
And the towers we’ve builded tumble,
And rain is overall, .
Do we look to the glowing future,
Where Hope from these ashes springs
And twine our afieclionficlosely ,
Around more substantial things.
Then unto our purified vision
Less distant those gates appear,
0f the beautiful fields Elysian
Toward which we are drawing near;
And the trials and disappointments
That trouble our hearts to-day,
1n the light of tomorrow morning
Like a lnisl. will be swept away!
BABY’S FIB.
BY MRS. H. A. BROWN.
Baby, walking in the dark,
Heard one night a big dog bark.
“ Let her cweep,” she softly said,
“ In you bed, for she is faid."
Nestled close to mamma dear,
Baby sleeps, and knows no fear.
Rosy morning lights the’skies
And opens darling baby’s eyes.
J usf as bright as any skies
Are our darling’s starry eyes;
Just as fair as any day
Are the curls that round them play.
Now when next night she waking thought
How nice to leave her lonely cot,
And creep into her mamma’s bed-
01., shall I tell you what she said i , “3
What a little baby fib
~Trundled off her tongue so glib ?
But the truth it must be told— 0.
And baby’s only two years old,
And the night was dark and long—
And she did’t know ’twas wrong—
So this is what the darling said,
Lying in her little bed;
Though no voice of dog was heard,
Though no sound the night air stirred,
Came a whisper in the dark:
“ Mamma, she fink she hear dog bark.”
Who could withstand the childish plea?
I’m certain neither you nor me. .'
In mamma’s: bed, all in the dark,
She creeps, "cos she fink she hear deg bark."
An Episode if the War.
The Californian tells the following: A bat-
tery of the First Artillery halted one night
during the seven day’s fight, in a little clear-
ing. The men lay down, unhitching their
horses, but leaving them in harness. The
first sergeant, now an honored officer of the
Third arlillery, told me be got up and walked
toward one side of llle clearing. He was
halted and turned back by a sentinel. Go-
ing toward the other side, he was again chal-
engcd.
“Who comes tbr. r ?"
The voice struck him. He replied “friend,"
and said “what regiment is that ?”
The answer came, “Seventh Alabama."
“What regimeni is that on the other side ?"
.“Fifth Georgia," replied? the sentinel;
“What battery is that ?”‘
Here was a situation. The sergeant natu-
rally didn't know the name of a battery in the
rebel army. Hesiinlion' would have been
fatal. By a lucky inspiration he replied,
“One of Stuart’s batteries," knowing that Job

battery?" '
Heimmldiutely awoke the captain, who
rather angrily said, “What lhe dcllCt' is the
matter now 1’" _
' “Excuse me, captain,” said the sergeant.
“but We've campul lut ten :1 Georgia and
,an Alabama regimn t.“ .
It is needless to say 'lhe captain got up.
Horses were latched in quirtly, and the bat-
tery withdrew from between the sleeping I
regiments. who never knew of the pr 2‘: that
was within their grasp.
