The Sunrise never Failed us yet.
Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods rcgetfully;
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies;
So darken all the happy skies;
So gathers twilght, cold and stern,—
But overhead the planets burn,
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away.
What though our eyes with tears be wet?
The sunrise never failed us yet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Our light, and hepe, (1 joy once more.
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet!
THE THREE onEENS.
Shortly after the Crimean war an individ-
ual, whose right arm was encased in splints
and hung in a sling, entered a magnificent
jewelry shop, the proprietor of which was a
Mr. James Green. The stranger had that
in his appearance generally styled dz‘stingue;
his carriage and garb revealed the military
veteran, and his manners the finished gentle-
man. At the door halted an elegant cabriolet,
parent by the plain but neat livery of the
groom and the choice trappings of the hand-
some blooded horses.
The stranger stated that he was desirous
of procuring a complete silver table service,
rich, solid and elegant,'with but little orna-
mentation. _Cou1d Mr. Green prepare such a
one for him? The goldsmith answered of
course. in the alflrmative,and showed several
patterns to his visitor, who then described
very minutely the style in which he wislicd
the articles to be made, and asked by what
time they could he got ready. At the same
time he insisted on punctuality, saying he
must use the set at a reception he would soon
give at his new residence in Leicester square.
Green promised to have it done in three
weeks, and then the two parties discussed
the terms.
The jeweler very carefully made all his
calculations and demanded £1,200. The
stranger reflected a few moments, then said
he had determined upon getting a service at
a cost of £1,500, and requested Mr. Green to
add as many.more pieces to the set as would
fix the price at that sum. Mr. Green thanked
the gentleman for this mark of confidence;
and inquired of him to whose recommenda-
tion he. owed his patronage.
“No one has recommended you to me,”
replied the stranger.
The jeweler looked~up in surprise. The
stranger, .who‘had hitherto worn an air of
dignity almost amounting to austerity, now
became more friendly, and continued:
“ I am a soldier. I have served for years
in India, and more recently in the Crimea.
At Balaklava I received a severe wound in
my right arm and hand, which will per-
haps disable the member for life. My pat-
ronage you owe to your parents, grandpa-
rents, and, in fact, to the whole line of your
ancestors.”
The jeweler 'was amazed and bewildered. ,
His parents" and other ancestors had long
been dead, and could not have referred the
soldier to him. The latter apparently enjoy-
ed Mr. Green’s perplexity, and smilingly con-
tinued:
“I will make myself clearer. When in
consequence of this unfortunate wound "—
here a sudden twinge in his arm made him
start painfully—“ I was compelled to leave
the service, I resolved to settle down in Lon-
don. While riding out the other day I was
attracted bflthe appearance of your splen-
didly furnished shop, but more so by the
name of your sign, for mine is precisely the
same. To this simple reason you owe the
present visit of Colonel James Green, of' the
Grenadier Guards.”
The jeweler expressed his delight at the
honor of being the namesake of so distin-
guished a warrior, and after a few more
phrases of this sort of conversation, reverted
to the business in hand.
“May I now inform you," said the jeweler,
with some hesitation, “ of the conditions
which must generally be complied with pre-
vious to making a sale ? ”
_ “No,” said the colonel, sharply. “I have
my own way of doing business. You and I
do not know each other, and although my
order is not an uncommonly large one, yet it
amounts to a sum with which you cannot
credit a stranger. I will therefore pay you
£1,400 when I call for the service.”
Mr. Green accepted the offer with profuse
thanks. ’
“ You need not thank me,” the officer in-
terrupted. “ As I remarked,_I always have
a way of my own, from which I never like
to deviate. Now, do me the favor to take
my portemonnaie from my coat pocket ;' my
unfortunate Balaklava wound ”—the colonel
again winced with pain—“ has lamed my
right arm and hand completely."
Mr. Green expressed his sympathy to the
warmest terms, Carefully pulled the porte-
monnaie from the veteran’s coat pocket,
opened it at the latter’s desire, and from four
or five new notes took one, which the colonel
requested him to keep. Mr. Green wrote of!
a receipt and placed it in the olfipocket-b‘ook,
which he then very carefully restored to its
resting place. He then assisted the colonel
to enter the carriage, andthe groom—Colonel
Green could not drive on account of his in-
jured‘arm—rapidly drove off in the direction
of Leicester square. The jeweler, though
much overjoyed, was a cautious business
man, and notwithstanding the considerable
deposit, proceeded to make his safety cer-
tain. '
In the “ War List” he readily found the
name and rank of his customer, just as he
had been given, and from the estate agent
who rented out the splendid mansion in Lei-
cester square he had ascertained that it had
recently been occupied by Colonel James
Green, of the Guards, and that the lat-ter had
brought the most excellent recommendations
from his banker and sundry other distin-
guished personages.
In the course of the three weeks, at the
end of which the set was to be done, the colo-
nel often came to the shop to see how the,
work was going on, and hlways discoursed
so affably with the goldsmith that the latter
could not find sufficient words of praise for
his genial customer when speaking to others
about him. At last the service was com-
pleted. It was placed upon a large table in
the counting-room, and covered with a cloth
of blue velvet. Punctual at the stipulated
time in the afternoon, Colonel Green entered
'the shop, big elegant cabriolet with blooded
horses remaining before the door in care of
the groom.
The officer stepped into the counting room, ‘
and Mr. Green, swelling with pride, removed
the velvet cloth from the service. The colo-
nel, though usually a quietsma u, declared
that it surpassed his most sanguine expecta-
tions, and insisted upon paying the entire
£1,500, and also upon the jeweler retaining
the deposit of £100 as a douceu for the sat-
isfaction he had given. -
“You owe me no thanks, my dear Mr.
Green,” said the colonel to the delighted
goldsmith. “ Give me your hand and again
receive my heartfelt acknowledgement for

“Now, to business,” said the colonel. “130
If) kind as to take out my pocket-book and
count off your £1,500, for I do not wish to
tarry a moment before showing your chef d’
(cum-e to my wife.”
The jeweler hastened to comply. He took
from the officer's breast-coat pockets. card
casein set of ivory tablets and a silk purse,
through whose meshes glittered some five or
six sovereigns—but no pocket-book. Upon
the colonel’s request he then examined all of
his pockets. The search was futile.
“ Strange! Incomprehensible! Could I.
have lost it or been robbed? ” muttered the
colonel, audibly, perplexed and provoked.
“ What o’clock is it? ’.’ he suddenly asked.
“ Twenty minutes to five.”
“Good; it is time enough. You must make
yo urself serviceable to me once more, my
dear, Mr. Green, and act as my secretary.
You know I cannot use my right hand.
Will you have the goodness to write a few
lines for mé to my wife ? " .
With these words the colonel stepped t
the jcwclcr’s desk, on which lay some writing
paper printed with the name of the firm.
Taking a sheet he placed it before the jew-
eler, saying: “ This will do ; my wife knows
that I am here.” He then dictated, and the
jeweler wrote :— .
MY DEAR WIFE : Have the goodness to
send me at once £1,500 throng he bearer.
You know where the money is pt. I am
in immediate need of it; therefore do not
detain the messenger, who ~iorfi+mohvorflly‘

JAMES Gunny.
“ Thank you,” said the colonel, after peru-
sing the cpistle. “Michael,” he cried, slep-
ping/to the door and calling the groom, “take
this letter, ride home as fast as you can and
return at once to this place with that which
my wife will give you.”
The groom took the letter, bowed and
quickly rode eff;
Fifteen minutes, a half hour, nearly an
hour passed away and Michael did not re-
turn. The colonel waxed impatient and
wished that he had gone in person for the
money. The jeweler essaycd to tranquillize
him, but inelfectually. ~
“ I have always regarded the fellow as hon-
est aud trustworthy,” said the colonel, “and
have on several occasions intrusted him with
large sums of money, though it is true with
never as much as at this time. Fifteen hun-
dred pounds may have proved too strong a
temptation for him.” Pulling out his mag-
nificent gold watch, he continued: “I will
wait just seven and one-half minutes longer,
for that is exactly the time it takes to drive
hither from Leicester square. ”
The seven and one-half minutes were gone
and the groom had not come. The colonel
could contain himself no longer.
“ Do me the favor, Mr. Green. to call a
cab,” he said, in the greatest impatienco “I
shall go home myself and will return within
half an hour." ,
The cab was soon at the door.
“Quick, to Leicester square! ” cried the
colonel to the coachman. “A half-crown
extra if you will drive well.”
The cab drove off as rapidly as the horses
could go. The goldsmith meantime had the
service packed up, and then waited for his
patron’s return. The clock struck 6, 7, 8, 9.
The colonel did not come. Something unu-
sual must have detained him; but the jew-
eler felt no anxiety, for bad he not still the
service and a deposit of £100!
Tired of waiting, at last, he closed his shop
at 9:30 and went home. His wife, who had
long been expecting him, had grown sleepy,
and was slumbering on a sofa. An open let-
ter lay in her lap. Mr. Green stepped lightly
to her, intending to wake her with a kiss,
when his eyes fell upon the letter.
“ What is this?” he cried, dumfounded,as
he recognized his own handwriting and fire
letter which he had just written for the colo-
ncl.
The reader can easily guesSCesequel and
the connection.
True, there existed a Colonel Green 'who
had served in India and the Crimea, and had
been badly wounded at Balaklava, who had
rented the house in Leicester square and pos-
sessed a considerable fortune, but, alas! he
was not the Colonel Green who had ordered
the silver service. Heaven knows by what
means the sharpens had gained knowledge of
they constructed their admirably ingenious.

The man personating the groorn, of course,
was an acccomplice, and the letter which
James Green had penned for the pseudo Col.
James Green was delivered by him to the
jeweler’s wifc,who did not hesitate a minute
to deliver to him the £1,500, because she
recognized her husband’s handwriting upon
the paper stamped with the name of the jew-
elry firm. Who the sly‘ rogues were, never
came to light.

Reward of Industry.
A few days ago a poor friendless lad might
have been seen wandering along the streets
looking for employment. He presently halted
in front of a butcher shop,and,walking boldly
up to the proprietor, asked for a job. There
was something in the young man's frank,
honest countenance, which struck the pro-
prietor favorably.
“ Not afraid of hard work?” he asked.
“No,” responded the lad with a trembling
voice, “ I have supported my mother and two
sisters for five years by hard work.”
He was put on triel at $5 a week mauling
leathery beef, and his sturdy frame and
healthy constitution came in good play. One
day an Old lady came in foget nacho beef;
and the proprietor told him to attend to the
customer.
“A tenderloin steak, if you please,” said
she.
“Here's a cut that nobody but the first
families get,” responded the boy .smilingly as‘
he sliced of four pounds of tough round and
cast it with a heavy hand on the scales, jam-
ming it dcwn with a quiekgdextemua move-
ment, until the indicator marked six even
pounds. Then he snatched it off before the
delicate machinery, used to weigh beef had
time to recoil. . o '
“Six pounds and a half, madam,” he said,
locking her square in the face with his clear,
blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him in
that night, and remarking that he had watch-
ed his course carefully,added that as a reward
for his quick, comprehensive grasp of the
business he would raise his salary to $25 per
week. This shows the advantage of doing
everything well, and when the boy’s mother
back '3 New Jersey hears of his success there
will be joy in the household. Young men

Dan: GAZETTE :
Some years ago it Was my good fortune to
d a week in Washington.
was-just at that impressive age, when
everything pertaining to public life was in-
vested with a peculiar interest and the fire
of hero-worship was burning most brightly
within me; so, as you may well imagine. in
the various Goverment buildings and the
many distinguished characters who thronged
their balls at that time, I found plenty to
gratify my curiosity and feed my imagina-
tion. ’ »
'With what reverence did I regard the
Capitol with its tawering white domel The
very centre of the universe it seemed to me";
and. the Patent Oflice and the Treasury
Building partook of equally exaggerated pro-
portions; while the White House—as plain
as it is—secmed not less wonderful than the
palace of the Caesars. And its occupant at
that time, the hero of Vicksburg and Ap-
pomatox. '
How it made my blood tinglcto shake hands
with him, (tho.’ I must iconfess he did not
appear of such heroic mould as my boyish
fancy had painted him,) and how it took my
breath away to be introduced to his pretty and
then unmaflgddgqghtepflith what awe did
"Chhflés" Sumner inspire me {‘an oui‘own
talented Senator, 0. S. Ferry, together with
Henry Wilson, Schuyler Colfax, and a score
of others whom we met or saw, came in for
an equal share of reverence. I am sure that
Ircndered these men a silent homage which
would have been worthy of any subject
towards his sovereign—an homage which our
democratic ancestors of the Jefiersonian type
would have been quick to condemn. Ah,
well, perhaps it is just as well that at-a cer-
tain period of our lives we are devotees at
the shrine of heroism. The selfishness of
the world will only too soon cause us to di-
minish our faith in human nature.
At the time of which I speak. the Rebel-

but that it was a frequent topic of conversa-
tion and that there were numerous reminders
of a in the debris of war which filled the
arsenals and navy yards,_and in the persons of
those who had taken. an active part in the
great struggle. If anything further was
needed it could be seen in the crowds of
blacks about the streets and the cast-off army
coats which many of them wore—both were
suggestive of the great storm which had
swept by. \
I well remember how vividly the last
scenes of the war were brought before me,
‘when, after visiting Ford’s Theatre, the scene
of the Presidential tragedy, our landlord at
the hotel pointedjout the officer whose detach-
ment surrounded the barn in which the as-
sassin was concealed and where he was shot;
and, when we crossed to Arlington Heights
and saw the thousands of little white slabs.
which mark the last resting place of only a
portion of the nation’s dead, the war seemed
.more of a reality than ever before, and we
did not need the sight of the overgrown
earth works, which we could just descry in
the dim distance, to add coloring to the pic-
ture.
But it is not of the war of which I wish
chiefly to speak nor in fact of Washington,
but of three distinguished personages whose
acquaintance we m'ade, all of whom are now
dead and two of whom met with tragic death:
within a period of three years after. we saw
them. ‘ I
On the steps of the White House, we first
met Gen. Edwin S. McCook, a large, fine
looking man of commanding appearance and
dignified hearing, which immediately
stamped him as a military men. Affahle
and courteous in manner, he was ready and
willing to converse upon the subjects in
which we were most interested, and our
chance acquaintance soon ripened into an in-
timacy which was maintained as long as we
remained at the Capitol. We went to ride
with him. and went to the Navy Yard in his
company. He was one of the six or seven
brothers, all of which took an arflve part in
the Rebellion. A former member of Gen.
Grant’s staff, he was on intimate terms with
the President and entertained us with many
interesting details concerning the family at
the White House. At a time when so many
slanderous reports about Gen. Grant’s in-
temperance were rife, it was refreshing to
hear an emphatic denial of all these stories"
from the lips of one who had been his com-
panion in arms. 1’
From some unaccountable reasoh, Gen.
McCook took almost a paternal interest in
me, therinquisitive Yankee boy, and showed
me many little atmntions which greatly en-
hanced the pleasure of my visit. Older per-
sons who put themselves out to show some
little attentions to the young or inexperienced
fflm whom they can expect no return, can
have little idea of how such favors are priz-
e .
I shall not soon forget Gen. McCook‘s last
words to me, "Well, my boy,’.’ after giving
me his future address, “be true to your father
and mother and never go back on the old
flag 1”
Naturally I cherished the thoughts of
Gen. McCook and of his kindness as among
the pleasant recollections of my first visit to
Washington, and looked forward to the time
when I should meet him again; but that was
not to be, for only a few 'years afterwards
he was shot down in a Dakota court room.
Courageous to the last, he grappled with the
cowardly assassin, and threw him to the floor,
but the wounds which he had received prov-
ed fatal.
The second person :to whom I refer, we
met in Richmond. Passiu along the street
we were brought to a standstill by a lawyer's
sign. It was but an ordinary sign, but the
name was calculated to attract attention.
It was that- of Hepry A, Wise. My com—
panion had been a frequenter of Washington
long years before, when Webster, Clay,
Calhoun and Wise were in Congress, and
had been often delighted with the eloquence
of the laugfi . Hgglnndrboon pronoun—when
John thncy Adams arose on the floor of the
House, after the- famous duel between
Graves and Cilley, and, pointing his long
finger at Wise, who had acted as Graves’
second, exclaimed: “You are as guilty of
murder as the man who pulled the trigger."
With this little prelude, my companion led
the '_way up the stairs, to the Ex-Confed-
eratc’s office. Seated before the window sat
a seedy looking individual who proved to be
the celebrated war governor of Virginia.
While my companion engaged him in
conversation, I had an opportunity to study
his appearance. He was of medium stature
' the height of whichawas exaggerated by its
extreme slenderness; he had a florid com-
plexion and light ,‘sandy hair. A lofty fore-
head, clear cut-features, and a firm mouth
combinedt 0 make a strong face ; but the
most striking thing about that counternance
were the sharp piercing eyes—eyes which at
times seemed like slumbcring fires beneath
the over-hanging brows only to flash into a
blaze under the influence of excitement or
passion. Old age had begun to tell upon
him and the exertions of his long and active
career -..were having their effects in fast in-
creasing feebleness. It was a mistake, how-
ever, to suppose that all the fire of his nature
had departed. Bitterness, scorn and passion,
his face in quick succession. -
He commenced talking about the Lost
Cause quickly enough, almost dejectedly it
seemed to me. “The war was inevitable.”
“The North did not bring it on; the South
was not responsible for it.” “It was God’s
meansof banishing slavery” ; but said he,
bining them with velvet and seal brown, gre-
nat, dark green or ruby. ' ‘ ‘
with increasing earnestness, “There was no
lion had not so long been a thing of the past -
would,as he conversed,chase:each other across ‘
excuse for aggravating the trouble and crea-
ting sectional animosities.” “We had a
cancer on our face.” “You had no right to
come and poke straws at it and irritate it.”
“It was our misfortune, not our crime.”
An allusion was made to the execution of
John Brown, and he said: “They made me
hang him." “I did not want to do it." For
Ben Butler he expressed the heartiest con-
tempt. He was not thoroughly aroused,
however, until he referred to one of his sons,
who was shot during the war and died under
peculiarlypainful circumstances. Just be~.
fore his death, while lying wounded upon
the battle-field, there was an' attempt made
by a Federal ofiicer into whose hands he had
fallen to makefihim salute the stars and
stripes. For that act Governor Wise could
not forgive the officer. “That man,” said
be, calling him by name and straightening
himself in his chair, while his eyes flashed
fire and he threw the intensity of his passion
into his utterencc, “that man I would shoot
at sight, wherever I should meet him.” “ch,
shoot him down like a dog."
After this outbreak he calmed himself, and
said: “Now you will go away saying I am
I am a very wicked old man; but Iloved my
son and resent his injuries.”
We left him brooding, over the past. He.
had staked his allandglost as many another
oravémdri’hid‘iloh’é. " -
On our way homeward, we took the night
train from Washingtonjto New York. Worn
out with sight seeing, and having nothing
particular to do I fell intoa dose and perhaps
had slept for an hour when I wts awakened
by the sound of voices from the back of me.
My companion, yielding to his loquacious
propensities, had engaged a stranger in
conversation, a man who was. as striking in
his appearance as he was entertaining in his
manner and style of speaking. Not over
thirty years old, his black eyes and hair,
which he wore' long, ‘together with the
closely Lshaven face made him look not un-
like the tragedian, Edwin Booth, while the
large hat with its rolling brim and the short
cape, which he were about the shoulders,
gave him a dashing air which would have
done credit to a Spanish Grandee of the last
century. ‘ Add to this a peculiar chnrm of
manner and you have Gen. Ryan the Cuban
Fillibuster.
“There will be a murder reported in Wash-
ington soon said be."
“Why of whom and what are the circum-
stances?” asked my companion with evident
surprise.
“Oh, a case of jealousy—a member of Con-
gress is to be the victim.” “A woman armed
with a pistol was lying in wait for him to-
day at the door of the House, but he didn’t
come out.” “She’ll fix him soon, however.”
“And didn’t you inform the police?”
“Oh no,” said he, with a shrug and a‘ laugh
“Why should 1?" “It's no affair of mine." .
“Let her shoot him.”
The greatest part of his conversation con-
sisted of boasts of what he had done in the
cause of Cuban independence. He told of
the numerous expeditions which he had been
instrumental in fitting out in behalf of the
insurgents; ofjthc personal risks he had run;
of hairbreadth escapes,dand of his shrewness
in outwitting the Spaniards. _
These experiences be related with the easy
nonchalance of a man of the world.
My friend ventured to suggest that some of
his reckless adventures might terminate fa-
tally.
“No,” said he, “the river is not running
which will drown me, the rope is not twisted
which will hang me, the bullet is not mould-
ed which will kill me.” “I have always
thought from childhood up that I should live
to a good old age and then die a natural death
and I believe so still.”
We shook hands with Gen. Ryan when
we parted at the ferry and left him to fit out
another expedition to Cuba, with what result
everybody ifaware. A Spanish‘manlof-war
captured the unfortunate vessel, carried it as
a prize into Santiago de Cuba; and the gal-
lant, the dashing Gen. Ryan was led out to
be shot. ‘
Such is the vanity of human boasting!
Such the fickleness of fortune. *

A New use of Electricity.
New York Times.
The uses of electricity are gi'owing every
'day, especially the uses made of it by in,
geniousadvertiscrs. The electric hair brush,
which is warranted to make hair grow on the
head of abrass monkey if it is used sufil-
cicntly often, has been before the public for
some time, and until lately was justly regard-
ed as furnishing the easiestfinnd most effect
ual way of applying electricity to then-skin.
'It is now, however, rivaled in the estimation
of the public by the electric corset, a new
and wonderful invention. The wood cut
showing the‘manner of using the electric
corset represents that aiticlc as a sort of
close-fitting jacket worn by a young lady,
the sleeves and neck of whose dress are really
a little too—shall we say alarming ? The
wood cut is necessary, for although the ad-
vertiser informs the public that the electric
corset is precisely like the ordinary corset in
appearance, his words convey no idea to
any upright and honorable man. If steadily
worn, this electric corset will cause the
wearer to grow plump and to enjoy the very
best of health—that is if we may believe
what the advertiser says. As it is, asserted
to be perfectly harmless, and to convey no
perceptible shock to the human arm,it ought
to become at least as popular as the electric
hair brush has been. Nevertheless, in spite
of the merits of the electric corset, a new
discovery has lately been made in regard to
the elecfl‘ic hair brush, which, when.“ he-
comes generally known, will make the latter
altogether the most desirable object that a
woman can possibly have in the house.
Like many other great discoveries, the one
in question was made by accident. It has
long been a matter of tradition that the ma-
ternal slipper is the instrument with whicn
nursery disciplingjs.on£omd: “*‘I‘his was un-
doubtedly true many years ago when slip-
pers were universally worn, and many of the
holiest'rccollections of childhood of men of
the present generation are associated with
the slippers of their mothers. But the old
fashioned slipper, which could he slipped
from the foot and applied where it would do
the most good at a moment’s notice, has, to a
great extent, passed away. The buttoned
boot has succeeded it, and not only is it im-
possible for an earnest mother with a large
family to unbutton and button up again her
boot a dozen times in a day, but the buot it-
self is too heavy and coarse an instru-
ment to be used in inculcating moral lessons.
Hence it is that the hair brush has become a
popular means of training children in the
right way. It is always within easy reach;
it has a convenient ha udle, and the back of
it being broad and nearly flat, will cover
more surface at a blow than could be cover-
ed by any ordinary boot Or slipper. Now
and then a badly made hair brush is broken
when brought in contact with a particularly
bad boy, but as a rule it is a remarkably
effective remedial agent. -
Mrs. McFarren, of Bristol, R. I., has a
small boy, now of the age of six years, who
has given her much, anxiety. Not only has
he been an exceptionally mischievous boy,
with an absolutely unlimited capacity for
surreptitious jam, but he was until lately
physically weak and under-sized. His mother
has been accustomed to punish him with a
hair brush of the ordinary kind, but the ef-
fect of the punishment had always been to
make the boy sullen and gloomy, and there
Were times when she asked herself if punish-
ment really did the boy any good
A year ago Mrs. McFarren was prevailed
upon to buy an electric hair brush, with
the view of improvlng the condition of her
hair. As the brush was an unusually large
and strong one, she naturally used it in the
education of her boy. The first time that it
was applied to him he had been guilty of
some particularly heinous juvenile crime,aud
was therefore punished with more than usual
severity. To his mother’s surprise, the mo-
ment he was released he sprang up and turned
several hand-springs, at the same time break-
ing forth into song. For the rest of the day
he was in the very highcsgspirits, and not a
trace of his former sullen manner was vi .ihle.
This was such an unexpected and utterly un-
precedented state of things that his mother
could account for it only on the supposition
that the effect of four years ,of frequent pun-
ishment had been cumulative, and had only
just begun to show itself. '
The boy continued to get into mischief,
and was, of course, daily punished. Every
time that the hair brush was applied to him
his spirits seemed to rise, and his muscular
activity increased. . Moreover, he suddenly
began to grow tall and strong, and his vari-
ous bodily ailments disappeared. At the end
_of.a year he was the tallest, heaviest, and
strongest boy of his age in the whole town,
and although his restless activity constantly
,led him into breaches-of maternal law, noth-
ing could check theaflow. of his spirits or
spoil his perennial good humor.
There can be no reasonable doubt that
these wonderful changes in the mental and
physical constitution of the McFarren small
boy were due to the electrical properties of
the hair brush used by his mother during the
past your. The electricty, driven into his
system by impact,filled him with high spirits
and gave an impulse to his physical growth.
It is thus evident that the ability of the
electrical hair brush to infuse electricity into
the scalp and thus promote the growth of the
hair is its least valuable property. Hereafter
it will be used not merely as the universal
instrument of juvenile punishment, but as
the rcadiest and surest means of infning _
vitality into the sick and weakly of what-
ever age, and Mrs. McFarren’s name will be
forever associated with the greatest of the
electrical discoveries.‘ '

Going Home. .
“Suffer the little children to come unto me.”
They are going—only going.—
Jesus called them long ago !
All the wintry time they’re passing.
Softly as the falling snow ;
When the violets'in the spring-time
- Catch the azure of the sky,
They are carried out to slumber
Sweelly where the violet- lie.
They are going—only going,—
When with summer earth is. dressed
In their cold hands holding roses
Folded to each silent breast.
When the autumn hangs red banners
Out above the harvest sheaves,
They are going—ever going—
Thick and fast like falling leaves.
All along the mighty ‘ages.
All adown the solemn time,
They have takenfup their homeward
March to that serener clinic, 5
Where the watching, waiting angle
Lead them from the shadows dim
To the brightness of His presence
Who has called them'unto Him.

In Absence.
rm: CAREY.
Watch her kindly, stars;
From the sweet protecting skies,
Follow her with tender eyes; a
Look so lovely that she
Cannot choose but think of me:
' Watch her kindly, stars!
Soothe her sweetly, night:
On her eyes, o'erwearied, press
Let that shadowy hand of thine
Ever in her dreams seem mine:
Soothe her sweetly, night!
Wake her gently, morn:
Let the notes of early birds
’ Seem like Love’s melodious words;
Every pleasant sound, my dear,
When she stirs from sleep should hear
Wake her gently, morn !
Kiss her softly, winds :
Softly that she may not miss
Any sweet, accustomed bliss : ,
' On her lips, her eyes, her face,
Till I come to. take your place,
Kiss and kiss her, winds!

The Old Farm.
BY CLARA B. TBOWBRIDGE. -
Out in the meadows the farm-house lies,
Old and gray, and fronting the west.
Many a swallow thither flies
Twittering under the evening skies,
In the old chimneys builds her nest.
Ah! how the sounds make our old beam
swell l ‘
Send them again on an eager quest;
Bid the sweet winds of heaven tell -
Those we have loved so long and well
Come again home to the dear old nest.
When the gray evening, cool and still,
Hashes the brain and heart to rest,
Memory comes with a joyous thrill,
Brings the young children back at will,
Calls them all home .to the gray old nest.
Patient we wait till the golden morn
Rise on our weariness hachonfessed;
Till, with the chill and darkness gone,
Hope shall arise with another dawn,
And a new day to the sad old nest.
Soon shall we see all the eager east
Bright with the Day-star, at heaven's be-
best; ‘
Soon, from the bondage of clay released,
Rise to the Palace, the King’s own feast,
Birds of flight from the last year’s nest.

Connecticut Savings.
The annual reportof the bank commission-
ers of the state covers one of the most im-
portant subjects of state concern and is al-
ways an interesting study.. The report for
1881, just presented to the legislature, is n
terse and cheerful paper, full of significant
and encouraging facts. The commissioners
83 :—
The statistics herewith presented fully jus-
tify them in saying that the improvemeutiu
the condition of the savings banks duringthe
past year 15 more marked than in any car
since the recent financialdisturbance. The
deposits as well as the number of depositors
have largely increased; interest-upon loans
has been more promptly met, judicious'in-
vestments in readily convertible assetsuggre.
gating several millions of dollars, have been
made; unproductive real estate to a 1
amount has been placed in condition to yie
an_rncome; these and many other indications
pomt unerringly to a healthy and gratifying
advancement in material prosperity.
There are 85 savings banks—the sumo.
number as last year. Their resources are
$4,243,135.46, an increase of $4,299,476.81
since January, 1880. There are’ 225,366 de-
positors, an increase of 11,453 over the pre-
vious year. The deposits are $0,522,400.87.
an increase of over $4,000,000. Less than
6,000 out of the whole 225,366 depositors
have more than $2,000 each on deposit, and
176,963 have not over $500 each. In a large
sense, therefore, the banks are really savings
banks. At the same time more than twenty
per cent. of the deposits belong to about five
perbent. of the depositors. The largest de—
posit account was increased about $1,700
during the year, but the largest singleloan
was reduced by $50,000. It is now, however,
$400,000, which is big‘euough. The amount:
of assets yielding no income during the y...
has decreased $416,367.89. ‘
This is an admirable showing and entities
the banks to public confidence. Certainly
they have it when the deposits increase over
$13,000 a day for the year, and the number
of,depositors grows about 40 a day. Of the
85 banks, 44 or more than a numerous half, I
with $57,000,000 or nearly three quarters of
the deposits paid 4 per cent. interest to de-
positors last year. Therein steady gravitn: ..
tion from both directions towards 4 percent.
as a uniform rate. In 1880 there were $775,-
000 of deposits that received less than 4 per
cent, being all the Way from 3% to noth-
ing. In 1881 only $490,000 received less thin
4 and only $42,000 received no interest
against $645,000 in 1880. On the other hand
only about' $24,000,000 received over 4 per
cent. in 1881, while in 1880 about $30,000,000
received over 4 per cent. Two banks paid
6 per cent. last year, but both of these had
previously “scaled” their deposits. The
banks have $34,000,000 soinvested that they
can turn it into cash on short notice.
The commissions are outspoken in their
belief that no furtherlatitude shouldbegiven
to investments, and that the law should not
be changed. .
It is wiser for the banks to pay a high
price for securities of undoubted character
than to run risks with unquestionable invest-
ments. These banks are in large measure
the custodians of the savings of those of
whom a loss would be serious calamity, and
the officers have no right to run risks of any
kind in making investments. Safety is the
first cc-nsixh-rmu-u—lhe rate of interest they
will be enabled In pay depositors is entirely
suxu-rlary. '1 he day for large incomes from
abs- uluml y secure investments has passed

lished an interest rate of three and one hall

the principal does not fluctuate as does the
market priceyf bonds, have no good reason
to complam‘if'divideuds reach the govern-
ment standard. The present statute gov.
erning investments enacted two yearsoince,
