AT THE FIRE-SIDE.

BY GOV. JOHN D. LONG.

At nightfall, by the firclight’s cheer,
My little Margaret sits Inc near,
And begs me tell of things that were,
When I was little just like her.

Ah! little lips, you touch the spring
or sweetest, sad remembering,

And hearth and hearts flash all aglow
With ruddy tints of long ago.

I at my father’s fireside sit,
Youngest of all who circle it,
And beg him tell me what did be,
When he was little just like me?

Exemption from Military Duty."

Surgeon-General J. G. Gregory has just
forwarded to the selectmen of every town in
the state a circular giving the statute relat-
ing to the disabilities which exempt one from
military duty, its text being :—

In accordance with the provision of section
5, chapter 1, title Y, general statutes of Con-
necticut, as amended by general assembly,
January session, A. D. 1878, the following
disabilities shall exempt from military duty,
viz: .Insanity, imbecility, loss of sight, loss
of speech, loss of hearing, loss of an arm or
a leg, or any other injury or any disease
which incapacitetcs from manual labor. Se-
lectmen can only exempt on certificates of
post-surgeons, as provided by section 9 Chap-
ter 1, title X, general statutes.

A Future Vanderbilt.

There is a young merchant in Albany,
David Mann, by name, age fourteen, of ex-
traordinary shrewdness. He attends all the
auction sales, and buys whatever he sees
money in, from a grand piano to a ham, and
never fails in any transaction to add some—
thing to his snug bank account. He occa-
sionally admits to partnership in his speculu-
tions an assembly page named Hamberger,
and the boys are said. to be strictly’honest.
David lately said to a reporter: “I am going
to New York Wednesday night to buy fire—
works, and will open a wholesale store in
Albany on the 16th of June for their sale. ' I
think. if I buy right, I can catch on for a
Couple of hundred dollars by the Fourth of
July.” This young man may never be a
statesman, but he will probably own several
some day.

A summer resort for young workingwomeu

is one of the happiest conceits of metropol—
itan charity. The sea.shore cottage at At-
lanticville, near Long Branch, will be opened
next Wednesday for the reception of visi-
tors. It is situated on the sea-shore and has
its own beach for bathing. The idea is to
enable young women of limited means and
scant leisure to pass a fortnight by the sea—
side, at moderate expense. Arrangements
for board are to be made at the rooms of the
Young Women’s Christian Association, No.
7 East Fifteenth street, where references
will be required. The charge of board will
be $5 for one week or $9 for two ”weeks,
payable in advance, and the stay of each
guest will be limited to the letter period in
order that as many workingwomcn as pos-
sible may have ex? opportunity of enjoying
sea air and surf-bathing during theseason.
The cottage will accommodate fifty guests at
a time, and no pains will be spared to pro-
mote the enjoyment of the deserving class
whom it is designed to benefit. The railway
fare for the round trip will be $1, so that the
total expense of an outing of two weeks will
be $10. The management is in excellent
handscllfrs. Fletcher Harper, J r., being the
leading spirit, and the regulations are singu-
larly judicious.

An Old Timer.

Eighty three years ago the following death
notice was published in Philadelphia: “At
New London, Conn., Mr. John Weeks, aged
114. When 106 he married his tenth wife,
who was only sixteen. His gray hairs had
fallen off and were renewed by a dark head
of hair. A new set of teeth had made their
appearance; and he ate three pounds of
pork, two or three pounds of bread and
drank nearly a pint of wine a few hours be-
fore his death ”—1Veza Lodnon Telegram.

There are in the city of Philadelphia six
hundred building assoeiations holdin a capital
of over $50,000,000,and in the State of Penn-
sylvania twenty-four hundred of such associ-
tious, with a capital Of $150,000,000.

One of the Newport cottages has just been
fitted up in oriental style at a cost of $70,000
and is said to be the most luxuriously ap—
pointed house in the place. It is said that
$6,000 was paid for one parlor rug alone.

111. Meet, the chief of the renowned house
of Most if: Chandon-the principal champagne
firm in Epernay—bas just died in that town.
M. Meet is the last of his family and his name
and he has left behind him a personal fortune
of nearly $6,000,000.

Mr. Lorillard’s Iroquois has won another
triumph. The Prince of Wales Stakes, which
the famous colt carried off Tuesday, is a race

TEMPERANCE.

 

Contributed by Ladies of Norwalk Temp. Union

A TOUCII1NG_SOENE.——A scene occured re-
cently in front of a lunch room, on Broad
street. says the Providence Journal, which
caused tears to flow from the eyes of many
of the ladies, who happened to be standing
b A well-dressed genteel - appearing man,
and a Ltidy looking girl about fifteen years,
came up Bennett street, and it was noticed
that the child was weeping while the father
was swearing at a furious rate. It seems
that the child had taken the drunkep father’s
pocket-book for safe-keeping, as he was
entering every saloon he came to. He swore
at her and said: “Mamie, give me that
pocket-book.” The child replied : “But,
father, what will mother do for food for
bseakfast 1’" you have taken every cent from
the house; anthremcmber, Gracie is ill; and
mother could not send for the doctor, as she
had no money. Oh, papa,please come home
with me! You promised Gertie when she
was dying that you would not drink again.”
At this point the father completely broke
down and wept like a child, and kissed his
little Mamie and said: “Yes, dear, I do rc-
mcmber, and I will go home with you now."
He covered his face with his hands and
moaned, “O Gracie, Gracie! Hark! Mamie,
'I can hear her sweet voice saying to me,
papa, dear papa, you will always love Mamie,
and stop drinking.’ Yes dear I will go home;
come I" When the dialogue ended, there
was many a stout heart that could not hold
back the tears, but said “amen” to that new
resolve on the part of the father, and praised
the courage of the child.

In the closing scenes of the Forty sixth
congress disgraceful exhibitions of drunk-
enness on the part of several members of the
House of Representatives are noted in the
Washington despatches to some of the daily
journals. The names of these congressmen
who thus dishonor the whole country are
not mentioned. Thei‘conduct is shameful
enough, but we are told that the drunken
performances were made the occasion of
much amusement and hilarity on the part of
'many of their fellow—members during the
night session of the 3d of March. The
prompt expulsion of the offending members
would have been much more in order. We
trust the time is not far distant when such
scenes may be wholly and forever banished
from the nation’s capitol.

SABBATII ScIIOOL Booxs.—-It is of the first

importance that temperance should be con-

. nected with the early instruction of children

in the Sabbath school. They shoiild be
aught that temperance is a Christian virtue,
a protective power over their lives to ‘resist
sinful appetites and desires by which they
may be led astray into evil ways. They
should be taught to do this while they are
young; that it is an act of religious duty
which God requires; and that they are to
have nothing to do with beer or wine or any
intoxicating liquors. They are to be shown
how easily they may berled away by the
enticements of ‘older persons. They are to
be shown the terrible disasters which so
many have suffered by the use of beer and
other drinks. This is the time to implant
moral principles, to arouse moral sentiments,
to bring the holy fear of God to bear upon
the mind and make that fear an impressive
and abiding power on the. life. Many a child
has been well taught in other Christian
virtues whose mind has been entirely neg—
lected as to that of temperance; if, indeed,
the moderate use of drinks, from which all
drunkenness proceeds is not set before it by
example or precept. In addition to direct-
instruction, or wheie this is wanting, it is
important to have a good supply of Sabbath—

school books.

MIXING Porsoxs SCIENTIFICALLY.—The
Chicago Standard, speaking of the meeting
of the Brewers’ National congress in St.
Louis last year, says: “A committee was
appointed to consider the subject. They have
got so far as to ofler a prize of $150 for the
best essay in reference to the scientific ed-
ucation of young men intending to enter the
brewing business. It may be well perhaps
for themselves that these men learn to min-
gli: those poisonous ingredients with which
they make counterfeit beer to increase their

profits in a scientific manner.”

Christian Missions as a Commer-
cial Investment.
Religious Herald.
Rev. George Hood, in the‘ Evangelist,
brings together some statistics he has taken
the trouble to secure from reliable sources,
that are worthy of note. The obvious in-
fluence of Christianity in creating a demand
for clothing, dwellings, schools, books, im-
plements of husbandry, machinery, and in-
numerable articles I of commerce is seen the
moment we begin to look at it in the statis-

,, that his success in the Derby was not won by tics of trade.

The largest steamer in the world, except
the Great Eastern, is the City of Rome, of the
Inman Line, which was launched Saturday,
11111, at Barrow. Her career had an unfort-
unate beginning. The boiler of the donkey
engine exploded, killing three men and
wounding ten others.

Miss Ella Wallace daughter of‘ William
Wallace of Ansouia, was married Saturday
morning 11th, to a Polish count, whom she
met in Europe and who accompanied her to
this country. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. E. P. Payson and was very quiet,
none but the immediate family of the bride
being present. - .

John Hoey’s conservatories at Long Branch
now contain two and a half millions of plants.
There are 23 greenhouses all told, five of
which are 300 feet long and one 400. ‘ One of
the largest is devoted wholly to orchids, and
another is given up to cacti, of which there
are 9,000 plants of different varieties. It is
believed that every specimen known to nat-
uralists is represented. -

The Boston OmnInerct'aZ Bulk “n says :—
“Few of the thousands of people who travel
daily on the cars have any idea what an or—
dinary passenger car costs, and the wildest
guesses are often heard. The average price
of a passenger car is about $4.500 ; Pullman
cars average from $6,000 to 10,000; a loco-
motive spoils $11,000 or $12,000, while an
ordinary freight or box car costs about $625.

*It is reported from Washingtonpthat if

I the public revenues keep up, the cash bal-

ance in the treasury on the 30th of this
month, the end of the fiscal year, will run
close up to $170,000,000, and it is considered
that the secretary will be able to send in a
very flattering report of the condition of the
national finances when cmgress meets in
December. '

The electric division of the Patent office at
Washington has been a busy place since the
excitement concerning the electric light and
the telephone began. There have already
been issued 250 patents relating to telephones
and 175 relating to the electric light, and there
are now about 150 applications pending for
electric light patents, and a large number for
telephones.

The following letter was found in the
rubbish of a limel in Arcata, 0.11., recently:

UNIONTOWN, April 14, 1853.

"Friend Brett: 1 did not find the voyage
to Uniontown quite so pleasant as you pre—
dicted. We didn’t get into the slough till
dark, and the tide being out, we had to foot
it over the marsh to town. There were sev—
eral small sloughs to cross, over which nar-
row planks were laid that did not seem to
me over two inches wide, and it was quite
dark. I misstepped on two of them and
went into the mud. I reached the Union
hotel more dead than alive. I felt more like
amud turtle than lieutenant. and certainly
looked more like one. . S. GRANT.

It is believed that the first postage stamp
used in this country was one designed by the
Hon. E. A. Mitchell, Postmaster of New
Haven, in the year 1847. It did not differ
much in size and form from the present
Government stump, but was of a. brown
color, was printed on ordInary paper and
contained the words, “Paid. New Haven
Post-office. 5 cents. E. A. Mitchell, P.
M.” Mr. Mitchell had them printed for the
use and convenience of citizens of New.
Haven who had complained to him of the
delay sometimes occasioned by their being
unable, to_..~prepay letters except In office
hours. ,‘_The.stanips were sold by the post-

 

master ‘and'iacc’epted in prepayment when ,

afii‘xed. A high price is put upon specimens
of the stamp by collectors, and the present
postmaster at New Haven has frequent ap~
plications for themng'bune.

The whole trade between the United
States and the Hawaiian Island‘s, last :year'
amounted to $5,540,110 ; the profits of which
at 12:1,- pcr cent. were $693,254.50. This as
compared witwhat the whole country paid
opt for missions in these islands is as to $115.
The trade of these islands was of no account
before Christian missions Went there. The
whole amount expended from 1820, when
Christian missionaries first went there, would
be wholly cancelled in less than two years by
the profits of the present commerce.

The profits of trade with the Micronesian,
and adjacent islands with the United States,
created by missionary operations, is $40.75
for every $1 expended in missions. The
profits on trade with the Micronesian Islands
last year were more than the whole cost of
the missions from the beginning, and this
cost even, {has been paid in part by the
Hawaiian churches. And now th‘é‘sc Mi-
cronesian Islands are carrying the Gospel to
other islands still further west, opening for
us new markets. The same thing is going
in China, Japan, India, Syria, Persia, Turkey
and Africa. The latter country especially
gives promise of immense resources for com-
merce as they shall be made available by the
progress of missions.

A lady said, when she was a school girl
she heard an old minister, who was fond of
making homely practical illustrations, say
that reading the bible was like eating fish.
That when he came to a hard place he left
it and called it a . bone. When he read, the
bible in that way, he found plenty of good,
nourishing meat, and never had occasion to
chokaover bones. That the older he grew,
the less bones he found, until, when- hc came
to be an old man with silvery hair, the book
that he used to find as full of bones as a
Connecticut river shad, was like a halibut
with only the one big bone in it of God’s
incomprehensibility, and that was in such
plain sight that no one could stumble over
it and grandly served its purpose as strong
frame-work to keep the sweet, white nutri-

tious meat in its place.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The use of the electric telegraph in Arctic
exploration is a suggestion lately made by
the superintendent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company at San Francisco, and
the plan seems an excellent and practical
one. By such aid sledge parties could be'
kept in constant communication with the
main body of the expedition. The wires
would be made as light as possible and laid
along the snow or ice or the frozen ground,
either of which would sufficiently insulate
the wires without the usual poles and glass
insulators.

In Carlylc’s “Reminiscences” he tells us.
of his dyspepsia, and how he once rode sixty
miles to Edinburgh, “to consult a doctor,
having a tlastjreduccd my complexities to the
single question: Is- this disease curable by
medicinejor is it chronic, incurable except
by regimen, if even so? This uestion I
earnestly put; got there spousez'It is all tobac-
co, sir; give up tobacco.’ Gave it instantly
and strictly up. Found, after long months
that I might as well- have ridden sixty miles
in the opposite direction, and poured m‘y
sorrows into the long, hairy car of the first
jackass I came upon, as into this select med-
ical man’s, whose name I will not mention.”

For preserving the natural colors of dried
flowers and plants, this process has been
recommended by German scientists. Dis-
solve oncvpart of salicylic acid in six hundred
parts of alcohol, heat the, solution to boiling
in a shallow dish, and draw the plant through
it slowly; shake off any excess of liquid,
dry between blotting paper, and press in the
usual manner. Natural colors are said to be
thus preserved in greater perfection than by
other processes. .

An account was recently given to the
British Royal Society of the transplanting
of a bone, the first successful instance of the
kind ever recorded. A piece of diseased
bone had to be removed from the arm of a
boy of three years in a Glasgow infirmary.
Fifteen months after the operation no new
bone formation had appeared and the exper-
iment of bone-grafting was undertaken.
On three different occasions portions of
human bone were transplanted, the grafts
being taken from patients from Whom
wedges of bone had to be removed for the,
purpose of straightening their limbs. These
wedges were divided into many small pieces
and placed _in the child’s arm» The frag-
ments grew together and adhercdto the bone
’Of the arm above and below, ultimately
converting a useless arm into a thoroughly
useful one by the formation of a complete
bone.

Some conception of the enormous energy
of the human hear may be formed when it is
considered that a good climber can only as—
cend 9,000 feet in nine hours—that is work
ing continuously for a considerable time, can
only raise his own weight 1,000 feel; an hour
—while the work done by the heart is
equivalent to raising'its own weight (ten
ounces) 13,000 feet high every hour. A still
more striking illustration of the great power
of this little gorgan may be found by com-
paring it with the most powerful engine ever
made by' man—the “Bavarian” locomotive
of the Vienna and Trieste railway—which
can only raise itself through 2,800 'feet an
hour. That is, its— energy is less than one-
fifth that of the‘human heart. Of course, the
actual work done, both by engine and
climber, is much greater in amount than tha
done by the heart; but relative to weight,
the energy of the heart far exceeds the other
two. ,

The increasing applications of electricity

have given peculiar interest to the attempts
that have been made to De up electric
currents for use when desired. The' latest
innovation is due to M. Faure, who has
modified with remarkable success the sec-
ondary battery of Gaston Plante. Th‘e ap-
paratus consists oflvtwo sheets of lead coated
with minium (the lead oxide usually known
as “red-lead”) and rolledjtogethcr in a spiral,
being kept apart by a layer of felt, and then
placed in a vessel of dilute acid. When a
current is passed into this cell the minium
on one plate is reduced to metallic lead, that
on the other is oxidized to the state of
peroxide. These actions are reversed while
the charged cell is being discharged. Ac-
cording to M. Reyner, one of these cells
made large enough - to weigh about 175
pounds may store up energy sufficient to
furnish afterwards one horse power of work
for an hour. The energy thus-“bottled” may
by preserved intact for a considerable time,
always ready for use.
Nearly every year there falls in some part
of the world a greater or less quantity of fine
yellow powder, which fall is popularly be-
lieved to be a shower of sulphur. Investi-
gation, however, shows the powder to be the
fine pollen of a species'of pine tree. The
pollen grains float easily in the air, and are
often carried byigalcs a thousandfmiles. When
they fall on snow the effect is often start—
lin . . -
gonsiderablc changes in the water—level of
several lakes in California and Oregon are
reported. It is stated that Goose Lake,thirty
miles long, was nearly dry in 1853 and 1854,
but contained ten feet of water in 1870 and
its depth'has since been increasing. Clear
Lake is also ten feet deeper than in 1854;
while Tulle Lake, in the same region, is now
ten or fifteen feet higherwthan then.

 

Weekly Lord's Day Offering.
Religious Herald;
If this systematic plan of contributions
can he brought and kept before the churches
until it is fully considered, and then gener-
ally adoptcd—as it may be hoped will-be the
result—then the christian journals of the
land will have contributed largely to secure
this end; as they have so often promoted
good causes. The Fourteenth Street Presby-
terian church in New York city has tried this
plan, as has their Sunday school, for many
years. In their seventh ann al report con-
cerning it, just published, the {trustees say:
Again there isfiabundant reason for thanks-

giving on the part of the congregation of the

Fourteenth Street Presbyterian Church, be-
cause of the comfort and prosperity secured
through a well established system of weekly
offerings. The amount received from this
source during the past year has been larger
than ever before, so that, with the aid of this
revenue, every obligation of the church has
been discharged, and there remains a small
balance in its treasury. There is not even
the shadow of any “incidental debt,” “float-
ing debt," or "Sunday school debt" to start
up from some covert hiding place to the an-
uoyancc of our boaYd of trustees.
Furthermore, the number of participants
in the System of weekly giving has been lar-
ger than ever before. It is a matter ‘for
gratitude that the plan is educating so large
-a proportion of our membership in the work
of regularlly :and liberally caring for the
support of the ordinances of God’s house.
It augurs favorably for the future, that a
Christian conscience in the regard is being
steadily develoyed in the whole body of its
attendants, and certainly it will be found to
the advantage of other churches,- that we are
able, from time to time, to send out from us

those who have-been thus well trained * *
a: s: *

Certainly this record has cost faithfulness.
In many cases it has cost persistent self-
denial; but the comfort, self-respect and
freedom from anxiety which it brings to us
ass people,are worth the whole cost,and God's
blessing will rest upon those who, through
self-sacrifice, have done this so nobly and so
cheerfully for Him.

It. will be percievcd. that in this instance
the plan is worked for the defraying of ex-
penses of the Congregation, Church-ordin—
ances. etc. They have also their charitable
contributions. It is not stated in what way
these are provided for. But in churches and
congregations, generally, the object of the
adoption of the plan is to secure these, or to
include both; as may easily be done in the

use of a card-schedule furnished to each cen-
tributor.+Rel1yzbus Herald. ‘

A Soldier of Fortune.
[Pall Mall Gazette.) _
A Hungarian paper, under the head of “A

Novel Ready Made," tells the following
story as'one that will shortly have to be told
in a law court at Budapest: “In 185— at
merchant of that tovirn (8—) had a son-
whose extravagance giving him great trouble,
he thought itbest to obtain him a commis—
sion in the Austrian army. The young man
had risen to the rank of lieutenant when the
war of 1859 broke out. Being sent against
the Piedmontese, he thought preper to desert
to the enemy, but on the first engagement he
was captured by the Austrians, and would

at once have been brought before a court

martial if he had not fallen dangerously ill of

a fever. 0n the day of the battle of Magenta

he lay in the military hospital there. The

hospital was hastily evacuated by the A113-

trians after the battle, the patients who were

sufficiently recovered were hurriedly removed

and the rest abandoned to the mercy of the

French. There were thus left behind in one

room the young 8— and a lieutenant col-

onel of Spanish Origin, Count Rodriguez by

name. Between the departug: of the Au:—
trians and the arrival of the French the latter
died, and young” 8— felt hirflself strong
enough to make such alterations in the ar—
rangements of the robm as should indicate
that he himself was the Count Rodriguez.
The peace of Villanow found him restored to
health and liberty and in the possession of
Count Rodriguez‘s papers, cash, and name.
With this stock in trade our hero set up as a
man of fashion in St. Petersburg, where he
gained the heart of the daughter—of a Russian
Rear-Admiral,——, whom, with her father’s
consent, he married. When the young wife
was about to become a mother the false
count proposed that they should visit his
ancestral home. He did not, however take
her any further than Hamburg, whence he
wrote to his father-in-law to the effect that
the home of his ancestors was, in the French
sense of the word, a Madison (lu Espagne,that
his real name was 8—, and that he was in
urgent need of funds. The admiral at once
started for Hamburg, but on his. arrival
found his son—in-law had died of the small—
pox. From the papers left behind him by

’ the deceased it appeared that he was the son

of a merchant at Budapest—a fact which
became more interesting to his father-in—law
from his accidentally reading an. official ad—
vertiscm‘ent calling upon the long lost S—
to appear and claim a large inheritance left
him by his uncle, as in case of his not ap-
pearing it would be distributed among the
collateral relations."

 

O
A DIPFICULT Cannon—The faculty of one
"of our largest theological seminaries received
some time since a letter, in which the inhabi-
tants of a small town in Kansas applied to
them for a young clergyman to take charge
of their spiritual education. The long and
formidable array of qualifications which the
minister must possess, and the extremely
meagre salary attached to thejposition, threw
the good doctors of the faculty into
something akin to despair. After much
thought, one suggested-that the reply should
run thus: “The only man of whom we know
who could satisfy you is our revered college
presifint, now dead some fcw'years, and
who, having accustomed himself to heavenly
food (air), could perhaps eke out a bare
subsistance upon the salary which you pro-
pose.” This, after due deliberation, was re-
jccted, and the next proposal listened to :

 

"‘We know of no one, excepting the Apostle

Paul, who approaches to your standard of.
piety; he might preach of a Sunday, and get
his living by sail-making on week-days.”
This was at length also rejected, and the
following reply finally hit upon and dis-
patched : “We know of no man upon earth
good enough for you, or who could possibly
live on the salary you mention. We there‘
fore advise you to make an effort to secure the
angel Gabriel, who could board in Heaven,
and come down Sundays to preae .”-'—

He Would Take the Oath.

“Come On," he said‘ “and let’s go and take
the oath." He had just got into Cheyenne
from Sutro. But the reporter told him he -
didn’t drink, and, whatwas more, it was
necessary to put some copy on the hook.

“Don’t drink!” he said, “well, then, you
ought to kalsomine your nose and button
your collar. S’fur as copies is concerned,
make the' copies to-morrow, or let another
fellow do it." . .

Having had explained to him what copy
meant, and that the machine couldn’t go
without copy, he said:

“Then the longer you let up the more the
depositors—that’s what you call ’em, ain’t it?
—will have to rest. ' Out on the Comstcck
when we run out er rock they call for mud,
and the feller at the dump hits his hat, and
everything blows in. Hit yer hat and les go
and take the oath.”

w
A Mean Set.

Yesterday 'forenoon a very seedy chap
jumped into the river foot of Third street,
but was pulled out in three or four minutes,
none the worse for his bath. The crowd
scattered, and after a few minutes, when he
sat in the sun, drying his clothes, a hackman
asked: '

“Don’t you wish you hadn’t ?”

“This is no town, this isn‘t," replied the
vagrant, elevating his nose. “I’ve jumped
into the river at Toledo and had more'n fifty

men ask me to drink."

An infidel out west recently boasted that..
his two acres of “Sunday corn ,” on which all
the work had been done on Sunday and which
yielded seventy bushels to the acre, upset the
Bible idea that Sunday work never prospers.
To this the editor of an agricultural news-
paper replied thus: “If the author of this
shallow nonsense had read the Bible half as
much as he has the-works of its opponents, '
he would have known that the great Ruler of
the universc'does not always settle up His
accounts with mankind in the month of

October."

Side by side in a rural cemetery pear
Boston are two graves with simple head-
stones, on one of which is engraved the
word “Mother” and on the other the word
“Father." On the former is a hand point- ,
ing upward, but the latter bears no such
device. It is impossible to conceive a more
delicate way of intlmating that, while the
mother has unquestionably ascended, there
is some doubt as to the old man.
