‘ " THE COAL Home TRAP;
How doth the little coal-hoal top
Its slipperiness disguise,
And feet on beotless errandsgsend
So often to the skies! -
The little school-girl steps on it
With an elastic gait;
hit ere she can etepofiz‘ again
I She sits upon her slate. ‘ ,
The little boy, with pail of milk,
Treads on it “just in play.”
He sees some stars. The passers-by
Gazcon the “milky way."
The belle, with rich embellishment
v Comes up with mincing tread,
Her shoes arcmadc. of best French kid;
Her stockings clocked with red.
The big policeman, proud, erect,
With gum shoes on his feet,
Disguises it with confidence,
How quick he’s ofi his beat!
The granger with his cowhide boots:
“By thunder ! Did you see
How spry that little iron thing , .
Got out from under me ‘2”
No matter what the size of feet,
Nor with what they are shod,
The coaLhole top has never yet
With uprightness been trod.’

sit longer than authorized to do so for the
transaction of regular business, was adopted.
Mr. Abbott considered the proposed law to»
be in the interest of the state. It affords an
opportunity for revoking a license, if {it is
held by unfit parties. . '
The bill was amended, requiring a speci-
fication to be inserted in licenses, that they
can be revoked for violation of the statutes.

Adventures in Patagonia.
[From “Across Patagonia,” .by Lady Florence
' Dixie.)
Our travelers proceeded northward. eager
to reach the hunting grounds of the guanaco
and the ostrich, but we now only glance at
their more important adventures. The want
of meat soon became q-uite-a serious matter ;
the dogs were getting weak, and the stores
on which they had to rely solely fer food
were fast disappearing. Upon reaching
grounds where the guanaco was to be looked
for, they determined to devote the following
day exclusively to the pursuit of this game.
We will let Lady Florence describe their
success in her own words : ._
“Itis marvellous how the ordinary excite-
ment of hunting is increased when, as in our
case, one’s dinner depends 0n one‘s success;
and it was with feelings almost of solemnity
that, early in the morning,'we selected and
saddled our best horses, sharpened our hunt-
ing knives, slung our rifles, and, followed
by the dogs, who knew perfectly well that
real earnest sport was meant, threaded the
beach-wood and rode up on the plateau,
where, according to the unanimous assurance
to look after the camp, our hunting party
numbered seven. In order to cover as much
ground as possible, we spread out «in a'line,
extending over about two miles, and in this
order we cantered northward from the valley,
carefully scanning the plain, which stretched
flat away for a good distance, but apparently
as bare of guanaco as it was of grass. The
weather, unlike that of the preceding day,
was very oold,aiid a bitterly sharp wind blew
right into our faces, making those of our
number who .had neglected to bring their
great—coats or furs very uncomfortable.
This. however, was a trifling matter, if only
those good guanacos would obligingl y make
their appearance! But evidently nothing
was further from their minds, and we rode
over the plain, mile after mile,with the hopes
which, like the thermometer, were glad.
naily sinking toward zero. As time went on,
the haze which bound the plateau at our ap-
proach solidified itself into an escarpment,
In due time this 'Was reached, and I rode up
it, expecting to find another plain on its sum.
mit as usual. Instead, however, a broken.
hilly country, appeared in view, crossed in
all directions by ravines. I' looked eagerly
' about, but still no guanaco. Our line of ad-
vance, meanwhile, lost its order. owing to
the changed nature of the ground. and~fre—
quently I lost sight of all my companions, as
I descended into a ravine, or rode round the
the :base of some tall hillock; but it was
never long before I caught a glimpse of one
or other of them again. _
“The wind got colder and colder, a white
cloud crept up on the horizon, and grew and
grow, sweeping swiftly toward me, till I
suddenly found myself enveloped ina furious
hail-storm. I came to a standstill, and cov—
ered up my head to protect myself from the
hailstoncs, which were very large. The
squall did not last long, but when I looked
up again I found the whole country was
whitened over, an atmospheric freak having
created a dreary winter landscape in the mid-
dle of summer. Suddenly I started; close
to me stood, perfectly motionless,and staring
me full in the face, a tall guanaco. I was so
startled and surprised that for the space of a
minute I sat quietly returning his stare. A
movement of my horse broke the spell. The
guanaco darted up the side ofpthe hill like
lightning, and,pausing a moment on its sum-
mit, disappeared. I meanwhile had unslung
my rifle, andwas off in pursuit of him. In-
stead of climbing the bill, I rode quickly
round'its base, and on the other side, as I
expected, I disc'overed my friend looking
upward, no doubt thinking I should appear
by the same road he had come. I had the
selfishness, though I am sure sportsmen will
excuse it, to wish to kill the first guanaco
myself, and I was therefore by no means
displeased to find that my companions had
‘not as yet perceived us. With albeating
heartIdismounted and walked slowly to-'
ward the guanaco, who, though he saw me
coming, still remained quietly standing. My
weapon was a light rook—rifle, but, though
an excellent arm, it did not carry more than
one hundred and fifty‘yards with precision,
and I was now something over one hundred
and eighty yards from my prey. He allowed
me to advance till within the required dis-—
tunes, but then, to my disgust, just as I was
preparingto fire,leisurely walked on another
thirty or forty yards before he stopped again,
watching me the while, as it secmed;with an
amused look of impertinence, which aggro:
vated me considerably. I slowly followed
him, vowing to fire the moment I was within
range, whether he moved or not. This time
I was more successful. The guanaco allowed
me to come within about the necessary one
hundred and fifty yards. ‘Poor fellow l.’ I
murmured generously, as I brought ”my rifle
to my shoulder and took aim just behind his.
Only one step forward to make quite certain.
Alas ! I took it, and down' I went into a hole.
which in my eagerness I had not noticed, .
falling rather heavily on my face. In a sec-
ond I was up again, just in time to see the
guanaco bounding up a far escarpment, tak—
ing with him my chance of becoming the
heroine of 1the day. There was nothing for
it but to walk back where I had left my
horse, and see what hadvbecome of my com-
panions. '
“I took the same road the guanaco had
taken, on the remote possibility of falling in
with himpgain. Riding up the escarpment
above referred to, 1 came on a broad plain,
and there an exciting chase was going on, in
which, as it appeared, I was condemned to
take the part of spectator only. At some
distance, and going across my line of sight,
was a guanaco running at full speed, closely
followed by a pack of dogs, in whose track,
but some way behind, galloped three horse-
men, whom I made out to be my husband,
and brother, and Gregorio. The guanaco at
first seemed to be losing .ground, but it was
only for an instant; in another he bounded
away with ease, and it was apparent that as
yet he was only playing with his pursue".-
The pace soon began to tell on the dogs; the
less speedy were already beginning to tail off,
one of them, probably Gregorio’s swift Pie-
dePlata, being far in advance of its com-
rades. and by no means to be shaken off by
the guanaco, who had- now given up any
playful demonstrations of superiority,and had
settled down to run in good earnest.
“On, on they go—quarry, dogs, horsemen.
will soon be out of sight. . But what's this?
The guanaco has stopped! Only fora moment,
though. Butlie has swerved to the left, and'
behind him a "new dog and horseman have
appeared on the scene, emerging, as if by
magic, from the bowels of-tbe earth. The
chase is now better under my view.- _If
some’ lucky chance would only bring the
guanaco my way! Thefre'sh dog is evidently
discomforting him, and his having hadto
swerve has brought all the other dogs a good
bit nearer to his heels. But on he goes, run-
ning bravely, and making for the escgrp-
ment, for in the hilly country below .he
knoWs he is at an advantage. The dogs seem
to be aware of this 'too, for they redouble
their efforts, a splendid race ensuing; Sud-
denly another horseman appears on the pla-
teau,and the unfortunate guanaco must again
s‘werye to the left,a movement which,hurrahl
brings him almost facing toWard 'Where I am
standing. That is to say, he must cross the
escarpment at some point on a line between
myself and the how-comer, the other horse-
man, from the manner the race had been run,
forming a circle in his rear, which debarred
his escape in any other direction, Seeing
this, wild with excitement, I dug my spurs
into my horse, and flew along the edge of ‘
the escar ent, the horseman on the other
side doing he same, in order to shut out the
guanaco and throw him back on ‘his foes be-
hind. Seeing his last chance about to be cut
off, he redoubled his efforts to get through
between us. On, on we strain, Nearer and
nearer he gets to 'thc :edgc'of the plain, and
already, with despair, I see that I shall be
too late. But, faster even than the swift
guanaco, a gallant blackhound has crept up.
and in another instant, though the former
dashes past me within a yard of my horse’s
nose and disappears over the side, of the
escarpment, the good dog has already made
a spring, and, clinging like grim death to
the guanaco’s haunch,vanishcs with him.
“After them, in another instant, swept the
whole quarry of dogs, and by the time I
reined in, and got my horse down the steep'
ravine—side, they had thrown the guanaco.
which Pie-de-Plata had brought to a stand-
still below; and Francisco, the horseman
who had last appeared on the plateau, and at
so opportune a moment, had already given
the coup rte-grace with his knife;
‘ “One after another the other hunters grad-
ually arrived.their .horses more or less blown;
and, while pipes were lit and flasks produced,
we had leisure to examine this, our first gna-
naco. Looking at his frame, his long, pow-
erful legs, his deep chest, and body as fine-
drawn almost as a greyhound’s, we no longer
wondered that guanacos run as swiftly as
they do. Indeed,this one would have laughed
at us, had he not been closed in as he was.
The fur of the full-grown guanaco is of a
woolly texture, and in color of a reddish
brown on the back, the neck and the quar-
ters; being whitish on the belly and the
inner sides of the legs. The head closely
resembles that of a camel; the eyes; which
have a strange look on account of the peculiar
shape of the eye-bones, are 'very large and
beautiful. A fair-sized guanaco weighs from
one hundred and eighty to two hundred
pounds.” . '
‘ Our- Work. -
The question is so often asked “what is‘
being done by those who ask the public for
aid," in sustaining Societies, for the good of
the Temperance Cause? And it is impor—.
tant that this question should be answered
unless these Societies or Unions are self sul-
taining.
lst. We form ourselves into a working-
body. and meet “to talk over ways and
means" for gaining that which should be the
purpose of every friend, to virtue and truth.
“Proliibitors of the Liquor Traffic, and we
encourage one another ,to work ,outside,
using our' influence in every possible way to
putaway the intoxicating cup from social
life. Every woman has the power to move
the hearts of those around her, upon this
great-question of the day.
2nd. Our mission is to lift up the fallenv
to seek out those in distress from the great
evil, Intemperanoe, visiting the sick and
sorrowful, and supplying the needed aid. It
takes courage andfaith thus. to work,—and
we require sympathy and means from the
public.
3rd. The subject must be agitated. When
the great question of Emancipation from hu-
man bondagc, was before the people, the cry
was. Agitate! Agitato! and the greater
emancipation of soul and body from the
bondage of intemperance demandsasgreat
zeal and persistent effort. ‘ .
4th. Look at our‘ boys and young men ?
Temptation in its most alluring form is'daily
in their pathway. Who can remain idle in
sucha noble work as ours? Shall we not
left our voices against this work of Satan,
and labor to provide' places of amusement
equally attractive for the young? Is it not
a Christian duty to open our hearts and
purses, to meet Satan on his own vantage
grounds, and give the young something to
do. or enjoy, that will win them from the
ways of sin 1’ Is this subject considered of
sufilcient importance even in our churches,
that of keeping the young men active and
interested, in some work outside of their own
self purposes?
5th. We should as much as possible be
united in our work. All organizations fer
the temperance cause should be more ready
to concentrate their forces, and not work in
opposition to each other. Let us work heart
and band, and work with our Master. “who
went about doing good.”
'One reason why so many of our young
men seek those places where the social gloss
of liquor, leads them to the sin of intempor-
,ance, may be found in this extract from the
Christian Umbn:
It is to be feared that the spirit of social
exclusiveness and forgetfulness of stran-
gers are-among the sins of omission, from
which may be largely traced the lack of
growth and lpiritusl‘fruit in many churches.
Not only those who come tobuild homes in
the community should be remembered, but
the young men and others who are especially
dependent on outside resources for social
enjoyment and associatibns. When we
think of the influence which is exerted over
character by its surroundings, is it not a
serious question for every Christian to ask,
What am I doing for the strangers within
the gates of the.community ‘where I live?
The.right conception of duty' and privilege
should kindle a flame of: thoughtful solici-
tude, that in the giving of the hand of wel-
come would often do a work richin blessing.
Closed at Last!
' The many froquenters rap and pound the
door, try-to pass the side wicket that always
stood so invitingly open every- Sunday, and
thump upon the windows in vain. A strong-
er 'hand than moral snasion, a morei'potent
grasp than‘halting prohibition has the rum-
seller in his toils, and proves that even he
who clothes himself in broadcloth and linen
at the expense of fellow-mortals life and
honor, is not cannon proof :against the great
leveller. .
A little bow of black and white crape
swings sadly in the passing breezes from
tbknob of the rumseller’s closed door and
tells the story of silence within. The old
man who has sought death there so long, each
time with step more halting,—betWeen the
rents of whose garments the wind sighs to
his cars like the cries of his little ones‘ that
are starving for need of thech clam: he was
there to throw at Death,—turm back agha
and palsied at the banner of the 'destf’iiyer he
has courted so long. _
The young man, staggering with the ef-
fects of last nights debauch, coming with a
profane jest upon his trembling lips, lays his
hand upon the knob ere he perceives the
fatal mark, then comprehending this index
of mortality—staggers back conscious-strick-
en as Belshazzcr from the fatal hand of God
upon the wall. ~ . »- . ’
Only a few days before 'I.saw the, boy
playing innocently before the door. where
his father and mother both, broke the laws
of God, man and humanity, and I thought
how sad that this little one, ‘BO'V playing in
the innocent exhuberance of infancy, must
come “ under the curse” and suffer for his
parent’s sake.‘ And a pitying saviour,
looking doWn from the throne of innocence
snatched him away from the curse. Who
shall say it was not better so? But what
words can comfort the parents? Can they
who pass their life dealing out death to
others murmur at their loss? Can they dare
question the justice of God—the great source
of laws that'favor humanity—who so long
have lived in open violation of his immuta-
ble law. They have long sown the harvest
of death, “as a man sows, so :shall he reap.”
God has power to smite every living being
that shall prey upon his eiring children, and
can do it through man’s love as well as fear.
Oh, that every man who sells this beverage
of'death could read in this how futile will be
his hopes in eternity. how the blackness of
desolation and mourning, can never be
brightened by the promises given unto lum-
est tailors. They cannot feel that this little
one has “gone before,” for their lies adeep
black gulf between the little soul and those
left behind, ane every day- of crime deepens
the gulf, and darkens tho obscruity, till even
thought itself cannot, penetrate the chasm,
over which their loved was borne forever.
Politicians and defenders of rum may
\combine to binder and prevent the discus-
sion of tempel-ance question, and, per».
haps, , succeed to some extent, but the
sound principles of prohibition and the cry
for ri ht, life and liberty can never be hush-_
ed.-— zchange. .‘ '

Inquisitiveness Punished.
A correspondent -in a neighboring town
sends the following for publication, saying
that it is probably applicable to other places:
A postal card was dropped into a letter
box addressed to the Rev. Mr. Newman
Y-'—. It was an ordinary card, and the
postmaster was an ordinary postmaster. He
took it, turned it over, glanced at the address,
turned it again leisurely and read as follows :
"You to whom this card is not addressed and
~‘ who nevertheless will read it, are a ct ntenpt-
ible,unprincipled sneak, and a pryii g pusil-
Ianimous coward. Frank Belgin." The post-
master laid the card gently took down up his
.hat and walked meekly out of th ce. In
due time a clerk came upon the ca , per (1
it, and began to employ himself bush“:
the affairs of the realm. .How the card fared
with various persons through whose hands
it passed is impossible to say, nor is it
known for a certainty whether it was read
by the woman who is the postmistress of the
'ofllcc from which the Rev. Newman Y-—-
ls sumosed to get his letters; but the report
is that on that day she smashed a bottle of
ink by flinging it at the head of a small boy
who asked her itthey ever read postal cards
at that oflice. - V -
One cannot be too careful never to wri
'on postal cards anything in the least-calcu-
lated to disturb or wound the sensitiveness
of the post office people’s feélings.—Danlmry

Only a Dog.
We were all crying, every one of us. Fa-
ther declared it was smoke that had got into
Vic's eyes and made them smart; but mother
threw her apron over her head and sat rock—
ing and sobbing for ten-minutes. Phoebe and
I just threw ourselves down on the floor by
poor Leo, and I took his dear old shaggy
head in my lap, and the hot tears dropped one
by'one ; and Phoebe potted his poor .old stifi
ears and smoothed out his thin gray hairs;
and then we took off the old brass collar that
was marked all over with hieroglyphiel that
we had scratched with pins in the proud days
when he first wore it; then we cried again,
and just then in walked Squire Toots, and he
didn’t seem to know what to do when he saw
us all so distressed; he looked at us and then
at Leo; then he took out ' his handkerchief
and gave his nose a real Sunday-school blow-
ing, and saidkind of huskily: '
“Why, it’s wicked to feels’ bad. Anybody
d' suppose it was a pusaon; ’taint only adog i”
That just made us all feel worse! There
wasn't any heaven for him to go to, and we
_ knew we never could see him again, and we
couldn’t remember any life without Leo, we
were such little ’tots when he came tons, and
he had been one of the family all the time.
Father used to lecture him just‘as he did us
children. “Where did I see you to day, sir 1’”
he would say ; “over at Mr. Mason’s associa-
ting with that dog that steals 2 Shame !"
Andthen Leo would~whine, and pretty'soon
father would say, “Go to bed, sir!” and he
would sneak off to his box in the back shed
and lie awake all night to protect us while
we slept, and he never once in over fourteen
years was forgetful of his trust—and he was
“only a dog.“ _ .
Only a dog! Why, was there ever a time
that we went racing home from school that
Leo hadn’t met as half way to race with us
and do all sorts of funny tricks at. our bid-
ding? And how proud we had always been
of him with his handsome, stately presence-
and superior manners, and how safe we felt
to hear his deep-chested bark as we Went 'to
sleep! ‘
_ Well. death had found him, sure enough,
andwe buried him out in the grove ina little
hollow, where he loved to lie on hot summer
days, and- there will be no resurrection for
.him, thoughlhere will be for the vilest thief
he kept from our doors; but none the less,
in-‘looking over his holiest, blameless life, in
which he was never faithless to any, even the
smallest trust, I dare apply to him the mall-
terls meed of praise. “‘Wcll donen good and
faithful servant,” though as Shuire Toots
said, “he Was only a dog.”—Detr0¢'t Free

SCIENTIFIC _M_ISGELLARY.
'Dr. J. Holcts'chek has lately given a re-
View of the world‘s knowledge of the aste—
fO‘dS’ f" the gl'OUp of bodies which revolve
in orbits between those of Mars and Jupiter.
0f the two hundred planets of this group
which had been discovered up to July, 1879,
Sixty-three were discovered in the United
States, sixty in France, twentymght in Ger-
many, seventeen in Austria, fifteen in Great
Britain, eleven in Italy, five in Asia, and one
in Denmark, Prof. Peters, of the Clinton
Observatory, has discovered more (thirty-
six) than any other single observer. The
orbits of one hundred and seventeen were
calculated in Germany, these of forty—eight
in the United States, and those of the others
in Austria, France, England, Russia and
Sweden. No satisfactory theory has yet been
advanced to account for the existence of these
remarkable little worlds.
Meteoeologists have found that United
- tates storms usually advance from the Up-
per MiSSlSSiPPi Valley toward New York
and New England, less frequently toward
Virginia, and seldom toward the Carolinas.
American storm centres most frequently pass
of the coast between forty—five and fifty
degrees North latitude. The great wave of
high barometer, with fierce noth-west winds
in their front, usually advance from the
Rocky Mountains toward Virginia and the
Carolinas, but less frequently toward New
England. . -
A naturalist has found that spiders are
completely deceived by the sound of a
tuning fork, mistaking it for the buzz of a
fly.
During the past year two French experi-
menters have kept nine pigs in a state
of habitual intoxication, in order to test the
effects of various alcoholic stimulants. The
digestive apparatus of the pig quite closely
resembles that of man, and for this reason
these animals were chosen for the experi-
ments. The savants have found that the pig
taking absinthe is first gay, then excitable,
irritable, combative, and finally drowsy; the
pig under the influence of brandy is cheerful
until he falls asleep; the pig treated to rum
becomes directly sad and somnolent; while
the gin taking pig assumes a' most eccentric
line of conduct—grunting, squealing. tilting .
his head against the sly door, rising on his
hind legs, and otherwise behaving very nu
like ordinary sober pigs. The animals sub-
jected to these experiments are said to be
none the worse for their year’s drunk.
Sig. G.’ Bignami Sormane, of Milan, has
found that the density of snow at time of
falling varies remarkably. During his ob-
servations he has found snow so dense that
it weighed over thirty pounds to the cubic
foot, being nearly half as heavy as water;
while ‘the lightest snow weighed by him
showed but a_ trifle more than two and a
half pounds per cubic foot. It is assumed
that the density of new—fallen snow is or-
dinarily accountionc-eight that of water,or in
round numbers, eight pounds to each cubic
foot. ‘ .
A new method of reproducing photographs .
in colors, on china will, it is predicted, com-
pletely revolutionize that art. By the new
process a dinner plate can be converted into
a veritable work of art at a slight expense—
not one—twentieth of the cost by the plan of
hand painting.
An invention which must . prove of much
importance in architecture and sculpture has
recenily been made by Dr. Gehring, of
Landshut, Bavaria. By means of an enam-
cling liquid, he claims to be able to render
any kind of stone or cement harder than
granite, and gives it the appearance of any '
other mineral desired. The enamel may also
be applied to metal, and is said to effectually
preserve—it 'fi'om rust.
A London journal reports that a new and
somewhat remarkable invention has appear—
ed in Turin. It consists in the application of
light—giving materials to printing ink, by
which print becomes luminous in the dark,
so that in ‘future it will be possible to read
at night, in bed or during a journey without
the assistance of candle or lamp. It is said.
'that a new daily paper is about to be printed
in Turin with this luminous ink.
M. Blerzy describes an interesting uperi-
ment in physics which is ,readily performed
by any person. Place an iron pot full of
water on the fire. When the water is boil—
ing vigorously, remove the pot; if the hand
he brought into contact with it, only a mod-
erate heat is felt. But immediately the water
ceases to boil, the sensation of burning is
received. The only risk attending the ex—
periment. states M. Blerzy, is that of black-
ening one’s hand.
M. Poirot recently stated to the French
Academy, that wormwood proves remarkably
effective as an insectifugefiriving away every
kind of insect. as well as rattlesnakes and
other serpents. ‘
The “glass man." who has been one of the
celebrities of Paris fer more than half a cen-
tury, and who died the Other‘day, was pos-
sessed of a queer delusion, He was confined
in the Bicetre asylum for the insane, and his
peculiar folly was the idea that he was made
of glass, and that any sudden concussion in
his vicinity would result in his destruction.
When a young man he was terribly injured by
the fall of a large pane of glass upon him,and
his brain received a shock which culminated
in this disorder. He' was known to have
Ipoken aloud only once for a generation, and
that was during the late war, when he aston-
ished the guardians by remarking that he
would like a little [smoking tobacco; The
poor fellow suffered agonies of terror when
_the German bombardment was in progress,
because he feared that the shock of the
bombs would “shake him to pieces.” He
never opened his lips to express his fear,
but it was evident from the ludicrously elab-
orate precautions which he took to ensure
his personal safety.
.MARYLAND Brecnirs.—Rnb one table-
spoonful of butter and one of ' lard into
one quart of sifted flour; add one level tea-
spoonful of salt and milk enough, gradually
poured in, to make a. stiff dough; use the
hands in mixing the dough; when the milk,
flour and shortening have been thoroughly
mixed, flour the bread-board, lay the dough
on it and beat with the rolling—pin until it
blisters and cracks loudly. This beating
will generally occupy at least half an hour.
In the Southern States a machine is now used
for beating, consisting. of a corrugated
wooden roller set close to the bottom of an
open wooden box and turned with a crank,
which is fixed on the outside of the-box; the
dough passes repeatedly under the roller
until it is in condition for baking. When
the blisters are abundant tear ofl pieces of
the dough as large as an egg, mould them
with the hands in the form of biscuits, prick
the tops with a fork, and bake them in a
moderate oven. These biscuits are so pop—
