The Heart Blesses.
It’s no in titles nor in rank :
It’s no in wealth like Lon’on Bank,
To purchase peace and rest;
It’s no in making muckle marr:
It’s no in books; it's no in last,
To make us truly blest:
If Happiness hac not her seat
And centre in the breast,
We may be wise, or rich or great,
But never can be blest.

New YORK, Jan. 10, 1882,.
Masses. Enrrons :—Near the beginning of
this century, Enos Weed, a man somewhat
known in the literary world wrote and pub.
lishel a number of books, two of which I
have before me. The first, entitled " The
Educational Directory," for the use of
schools and private families. It has no
date, but there are a number of testimonials
printed on the first page hearing date 1803.
The other book is “ The Polit'nal Reconcil-
ing Pamphlet, or a patriotic address by a
native of North America,” sold wholesale
and retail by Enos Weed, Stamford, Con-
necticut, MDCCCXIII. Whether he was a
layman or minister, I cannot gather from
either of his books, although in the latter he
addresses “ My brethren in the ministry.”
He was also a poet as you will see by a
quotation from the closing page of the pam-
phlet; '
Amend your ways; expect no praise,
Rights no more maim, you've been to blame
In God your trust; be not unjust,
Send none to cheat, you're not complete,
Ten knocks hurt less than one brib’d press,
Ohl do no wrong; you’ve ruled too long.
The above lines give a clcw to the contents
of the book. If my memory is not faulty
this same Enos Weed ran a distillery in Tim-
pewaug in a building that many of‘he old
inhabitants remember and which stood in an
orchard at the end of Hubbcll’s Lane.
He made in manuscript, at least, a spelling
book while engaged in distilling cider and
making apple-jack. .
I have writ-ten this article for the purpose
of perpetuating the name of one of those
men whose histdry is so interwoven -with)the
history of Wilton. If in this lapse of time
I have forgotten to state all the facts that are
of importance with his history I hope that
some other antcdiluvian will fill the bill.

A iii cxicun Interior.
Mary Hallock Footc’s second illustrated
paper on Mexico, in the January Century,
deals with Morelia, “A Provincial Capital of
Mexico,” and contains the following de—
scription of the domestic life of a well-tddo
family:
The house had been originally built for an
ecclesiastical college, and, as may be imagin—
ed, was a very easy fit for a family of three.
There was an agreeable sense of unexplored
space in the vistas of high, airy rooms, open-
ing one into another, and. an opening on the,
corridors whichgsurrrounded, the front and
rear courts. * 0 *
Instead of the bedside tray of coffee and
make served by the waiter with the impene-
trable head of hair, who never knocked at
the door, one awakeped to the luxury of a
bath, a daintily served cup of chocolate or a
bumper of hot milk, fresh eggs, fresh fruit,
in the flower-scented dining-room, at what-
ever hour one chose to ask for it. The air
of early morning was indescribably pure and
COOL—cool enough to suggest an open fire to
an English or American constitution,——but
the sunny side of the corridor was a very_
good substitute. The flowers were freshly-
watcred and fragrant. All the galleries in
Mexico surrounding the inner courts are
lined with flowers. It is one of the prettiest
features of their domestic architecture. The
vines festooned along the arches stirred a lit-
tle in the breeze which lifted and let fall the
heavy leaves of the banana tree near the di-
ningroom door. Clear shadows slanted
across the pale-tinted stone facade of the
cloistered gallery. There was a hammock
of Panama grass, swinging empty, or cra-
dling the little daughter of the house, always
attended by a fluffy white poodle, whom she
addressed as “Enrique! mi Alma! ” (My
Soul 1)
A man servant, of the shade of complex-
ion called moréno,-——chocolate with little milk
in it,—and eyes of chocolate, unmixed: in a
white linen blouse, with a red sash girding
his waste, shufiled listlessly about the gal-
lery at this hour, watering the plants or
sweeping the red-tiled pavemflt with a
broom made of palm_splints. There was a_
parrot, like a great jewel, on his porch in the
sun. The gray turtle doves are regardedhy
the Mexican servants as harbingers‘of evil
to the house where their soft guttersl note
is heard, but the Casa G——-rcjected this su-
perstition of the country lad gave shelter to
the doves. The noises of the house were
very pleasant ; loud, harsh voices or foot-
steps were unheard; no ball over rang. If
the young mistress had need of a scrvant,she
stepped into the corridor and clapped her
hands. The signal was answered by Leon-
ardo, or Rita, or Michele, or .the disconsolat
Ascension, who did everything with a fine,
gloomy air, even to carrying about on his
shoulders of the' little Jose, the child of
Leonardo, the Camarista. Their medimval
associations reconciled one to the only loud
noises of the hcusé—the deep, echoing bay
of the two gaunt young blooddhounds chain-
ed to the wall of the court below, and the
stamping of the horses’ feet on the pave-
ment of their stalls under the arches. *. "
,,. The first ceremonious meal at Which the
family assembled was the midday breakfast,
almuerzo. There was a succession of cour-
ses, chiefly meats, in surprising quantity and
variety in a climate where a very little ani-
mal food is sufficient, ending with dulces and
coffee. After the soup, rice, cooked in the
Mexican fashion, was invariably served and
eaten with bananas. The game and poultry
had the advantage of the most perfect cook-
ing over a charcoal fire. Aspit is used in
roasting, and every Mexican kitchen is well
provided with a multitude of pottery vessels,
even to pottery griddles, light and clean,
which seemed to me far preferable to our
heavy, unappetizing metal ones.
From time to time a national dish appear-
ed, rather to humor the guests’s fancy for
their novelty than fol-a preference, for them
on the part of the family. One called town,
I was told, is of Moorish origin. It is com-
posed of chicken cooked. slowly in a paste
made of the flour of a very small and deli.
catc dried pea, and served with sauce of
complex flavor. Raisins and olives are an
incidental feature of it, And the whole dish
tastes of the Arabian Nights.

Arr Historic Bell.
In the Episcopal‘ church at Ellicottville,
N. Y., is an old bell, which, according to a
very legible date on its side, was cast in
Moscow, Russia, in 1708. Its history is
about as follows: ‘It is now about 137 yc'ars
old, and was cast for and first used as one of
a chime of bells in a large cathedral in Mos-
cow. When Napoleon inaugurated his dis-
astrous retreat in 1811, by burning the city,
the cathedral with its chime was involved in
the common ruin. Several years afterward
this bell was gathered up with other old
metal and sold to a sea captain for ballast to
his vessel, which returned light to New
York. In the course of time the bell found
its way into the hands of a bell founder of
Troy, and was kept in his yard for several
years as a curiosity, though not highly val-
ued. When the present church building In
Ellicottville was finished, a gentleman con-
nected with the parish, happening to see it,
purchases it at a low price and presented it
to the society. In dué time it was elevated
to its present position, and, after a half cen-
tury'ssilenca, its peculiar tones once more
resoundcd through the air. '
Wear Flannels.
The value of flannel next the skin cannot
be overrated. It is invaluable to persons of
both sexes and all ages, in all countries, in
all climates. at every season of_thc year, for
the sick and well; in brief, I cannot con-
ceive of any circumstances on which flan-
nel next the skin is not acomt’Ort and a
source of health. In the British army and
navy they make the wearing of flannel' a
point of discipline. Even during the hot
season the ship do'ctor makes a a daily exam-
ination of the men at unexpected hours, to
make sure they have not left off their flan:
nels.

The statue of “Liberty Enlightening the
Work ” is nearly finished and will cost
about $250,000. The money for the purpose
has been contributed by the people of France
who desire by. Bartholdi’s work to commem.
crate American independence and the hearty
and valuable co-opergltion of the French in
securing it. Congress has authorized the
statue to be put upon Bedloe’s island 'in New
York harbor. What is now needed is about
$250,000 for a pedestal. A committee :of
eminent citizens, at whose head is ex-Secre-
tary Evarts, has made an earnest appeal for
contributions which will be received in large
or small sums.

TEMPEDANCE.
Contributed‘oyLadles of Norwalk Temp. Union
Connecticut Temperance Union.
At the recent annual convention of the
State Temperance Union there were repre-
sentatives from all the counties, 97 towns,
113 churches. 102 temperance organizations
and 22 Sunday schools. The secretary re-
ported larger contributions than ever before
and constantly increasing success in the
specific work of the Union, interesting
churches and Sunday schools in the tem-
perance work. Of the 1‘67 towns of the
state 83 are by vote against. license and in-
thrce others no licenses are granted. So
there is practically a “no license" majority
of six towns. There is also a growing de-
u and for the enforcement of law and the
munbcr of violators convicted in the courts
ibul‘cllSL‘S year by year.
The convention was addresscd'by Rev.
~Messrs. Hillard, Range, Pogson and Lansing
and by Mrs. Bucll of this Slate, and by the
eloquent lady lawyer, Mrs. Foster, of Iowa.
All insisted upon the prohibition of the trnfllc
in intoxicating beverages by law and by a
clause in the State Constitution. Such sen-
timents were received with marked approval
by the large audiences. This convention
was felt ed by the annual meeting of the
Woman Christian Temperance Union. In
this way four successive days were devoted
to Temperance. The gathering was the
largest and most enthusiastic rally of radical
temperance people ever held in Connecticut.

“Don’t be Hard upon Him 1”
In a most interesting address delivered by
the Rev. Canon Wilberforce, recently, at
Frome, England, be said: "Not long ago
there was in my own parish one of the brav-
est, surest, and brightest of the wives of
workingmen I have ever seen. All through
her married life she had been praying for,
the altar had sworn to love and cherish her.
A short time ago he set his seal upon years
of cruelty by raising his foot and kicking her
savagely, and three hours after she had gone
‘where the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest.’ The last words she
spoke were whispered in to my own car--
‘Don’t be hard upon him when I am gone.
He is so kind when he doesn’t drink.’ They
laid the little form of her prematurely-born
infant by her side, and four other little ones
followed them to the grave one more victim
of the arch-fiend rum.”

wretched man, who had come home the night

as they stood dazed about the bodies of their
parents; and for the grandmother, a hundred
years old, weeping and praying and refusing
to be comforted. Surely it was the Demon’s

It is easy to be nobody, and we will tell

not drink much now; just a little beer or
some other drink. In the meantime play

Is There A God ?
It is related that a western skeptic once
said that if he could only see the plan and
order in Nature he would believe in God.
Just then, as if taken at his word, he saw a
plant known as the Texas Star at his feet.
Picking it up be counted its petals and found
there were five. He then counted the
stamens and found five. He then counted
" the divisions at the base, and found five.
Desiring to find in Nature some evidences of
intelligence superior to human, and ‘other
than mechanical force, be determined by
multiplying to see how many chances there
were of this flower, having in it these three
fives, being brought into existence without
the aid of intelligevce. e found of course,
the chances to be as a hundredand twenty-five
Then multiplying the numbers by
itself, he saw that the chances of there being
two such flowers, each having these exact
relations of numbers,_are as fifteen thousand
to one. Looking over the fields and on the
roadside he saw thousands of this plant about
him, evidences of supreme intelligence.
Kissing the flower, he cried out, “Bloom
on, little flower; you have a God, I have a
God; your God and Maker is my God and
Maker." ’
O
The First Vaccine Factory.
Probably the first vaccine factory estab-
lished in this country is in a barn on the
property of Mr. Lawrence, at Cos Cob. A
number of inverted saw horses, wme straps,
a few razors, a stool or two, quantities of
quills, and calves in a pen are all that there
is to be seen. One man does all the work,
and yet from this barn vaccine matter is sent
to Japan, Europe, California and all over the
United States. Foster’s quills are known to
almost every physician in this part of the
country. This is his factory. Business in
“quills” has been very brisk this winter. It
was not until Dr. Foster had experimented
and tried a number of times that the vaccine
at last “took," The first calf inncculated
successfully was from vaccineimported from
Europe. . From this calf it was given to an-
other, and so on for twelve years to the pres-
ent time. From one calf as many as 700
quills have been taken; it varies, howevc‘r,
with difierent calves. 'White animals are
preferred, as their skin is more tender. They
are‘ in most cases hired from the farmers
around, and then returned. The operation
on the calves is not a difficult one, nor do
they atfir and afterwards die as many sup-
pose. But on the contrary they are said to
be benefitted by it. They do not suffer any
more pain than a person who is vaccinated,
for the process is the same only that the calf
has hundreds of incisions instead of one.
There is a cow in the village said to be the
animal which was first vaccinated twelve
years ago. It has always been considered an
excellent cow.— Greenwich Graphic.

Keep the Feet Warm.
Many of the colds which people 'are said
to catch commences at these extremities;
and colds are not the worst effects of damp
feet. Persistent neglect in this respect pro-
duces disease of the internal organs, which,
once chronic, can never be cured.- To keep
the feet constantly warm is to effect an in-
surance Lagainst the :almost interminable
lists of disorders which spring from “slight
colds." 1tst Never be tightly shod. Boots
or shoes when they fit closely press against
the veins of the feet, and prevent the free
circulation ofitho:blood.' On the contrary,
when they do not embrace the feet to closely
the blood flows freely, and the spaces left
between the leather and the stockings are
filled with warm air. Those who pride
themselves on having small, handsome feet,
will, perhaps, he unwilling to admit this as-
sertion. They are earnestly recommended
to sacrifice a little vain display, for~tlle sake
of comfort and safetyyby wearing what the
makers callcasy shoes. 2nd. Never sit in
damp shoes. Itisoi‘tcn imagined that unless
the y are positively wet it is not necessary to
change them when the feet are at rest. This
is an error; for when the least dampness is
absorbed in the sole, it is attracted further
to the foot itself by§its own boat. and thus
perspiration is dangerously checke-l. Those
who doubt this may prove it by neglecting
this precaution, and their feet. will feel cold
and damp, after New moments, although on
taking 0115 the shoes and stockings, they will
appear perfectly dry.

Guru Ross, .Tnx.
DEAR Bno. GARDNER: There is a man down
here who says that colored folks haven’t got
any souls. That only white folks turn to
angels when they die. He points with tri-
umph to all the pictures of angels ever paint-
ed, in which not a single colored angel is
seen. He says he defies even old Bro. Gard-
ner, the greatest living logician,to prove that
colored men have souls all samee as Mehcan
men. Will you accept the challenge?
Respectfully, Corrousnan ern.
There was deep silence in the hall for a
long minute, during which the thermometer
went up thirteen degrees. Then the presi-
dent said: “ Yes, I ’cept the challenge. Let
dat Texas man prove to me dat white folks
hev souls an’ I will prove dat black folks hev
dc same. It am jest as easy to prove one as
do odder. As to do picters of angels, do
black faces am not do only ones left out.
Where- am de Chinamen, de Arabs, do In-
juns, dc Laplanders, an’ all do odder folks?
’Noboddy cber saw a red-headed angel, an’
yet do all our red-headed citizens go to de
bad place? I'll defy dat Texas white man to
show me'any face among de angels eber
painted resembling a Texas man. He can’t
show rue de face of a Dutchman, or Irish-
man, or Frenchman, or Spaniard, but does
that prove dat Heabcn was built fur de use
ob a few Americana? We doan’ take our
black skins to Heaben any mo’ dan white
folks take deir mutton-chop whiskers, glass
eyes an’ false teeth. When we arribe at de
gate, death has gibben all do same color, an’
de poo’ old black man who has slaved an’
hungered an’ suffered all his life stuns clus
beside de white man who has had riches an'
contentment. A piece of white chalk kin
be wrapped up in black velvet as well as
in bleached cotton.
“ I tell you, my frens, dc road to Heabcn
am long an’ full of pitfalls, an’ quick-sands,
an’ steep hills, an’ lonesome hollers,. an’ dc

cleansed and purified dst de poo’ ole body

With which it was playing. A slight struggle en-

Mrs.Warner’s left eye, entirely defltroying the.
sight. Her family ‘phsician did what he could.
but. intensely painful inflammation arose. which,
by sympathy, threatened the loss of . the other
eye. Total blindness to a woman having the care
of a houshold is an irretrievable calamity. 11:1
this strait Mrs. W. applied to the well-known
and skillful surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron-
dout; N . Y., who removed the injured 0 'e by a
very successful operation, setting aside a 1 dan-
ger of further harm to the sight of the other eye.
But owing to pain and mental distress, her sys-

do this work the Doctor prescribed “Kennedy's

The remarkable discovery has been made
by two German chemists that the life princi- '
ple is capable of producing chemical effect
upon salts of silver. They report thatliv-
ing organic cells readily reduce solutions of
silver, but the action ceases when dead cells
are substituted for the living ones.
Insects are endowed with much greater
muscular energy, in proportion to their size
than other animals. Had a man of six feet
muscular power proportioned to that of a flea
he could leap more than three hundred feet,
and lift a weight of ten thousand pounds.
A species of beetle supports five hundred _
times its‘own weight ; and another has been
discovered which is stated, on good authori-
ty, to have gnawed a hole of an inch in IR-
ameter in the side of an iron canister by the.
pOWer of its jaws.
It has lately been noticed that liquors kept
in colored bottles exposed to the light soon
acquire a disagreeable taste, while ‘thoso
contained in brown or green bottles remain
unchanged even if placed in direct sunlight.
The effect is due to the chemical action of
light. and liquids liable to similar change
should be preserved in red, orange, yellow
or green bottles-these colors excluding the
chemical rays. .
Observers of the sun believe that the
maximum of sun-spots in the “eleven-year
period” will be reached during the present
year, although M: Duponchet thinks it may
be delayed until 1890 on 1892 on account of
planetary influences.
- The’uss of ;gas as fuel is suggested as a
means of freeing London from the intolera-
ble smoke with which it is now afflicted. It
is thought to be not altogether improbable .
that, with the general adoption of electricity
as a source of light and the employment of
gas for heating purposes, the dream of a
non smoking London may.be realized at no
very distant period.
By the adoption of preventive measures to
guard against expected epidemics in certain _
English towns, Mr. Edwin Chadwick esti-
mates that three-fourths of a million lives and
three million cases of sickness have been
saved. This seems a somewhat startling
statement, but the figures are the result of
statistical! comparisons, and are probably cor-
rect.
Dr. Von Fritcsch, of Belle, maintains that '
the cause of earthquakes must exist near the
earth’s surface, and does not reach a greater
depth than ten or fourteen miles. They
must be produced, he believes by the increase
and decrease of volume of rocks under the
influence of chemical and. physical forces,
and by concussions due to the opening. of '
fissures in the rocks.
In 1850 the Hoang-Ho River, of Chinar
emptied into the Yellow Sea ; now this month
is dry, and the river has a new outlet nearly
~300 miles north of its former outlet, and the
stream turned aside from its old bed at a
distance of more than 300 miles from the
com. This is the last of many changes,
back and forth, recorded by the Chinese dur-
ing the past 3,000 years. The changes begin
in floods caused by rain in the distant Knea-
lun Mountains.
Natures fiat that soon or late all men must
die, fails to satisfy a vast number of discon.
tented human creatures who hasten the ex«
ecution of the stern decree by prematurely
putting short their own existence. Dr. Mor-
selli, of Turin, has given some curious facts
and statistics concerning suicides, from
which it appears that the victims of self-
destruetion are rapidly becoming more
numerous in nearly all civilized countries.
In France, for instance, during the quarter-
century from 1827 to 1852 the annual num-
ber of suicides gradually increased from
forty-eight to nearly eighty-three per million
of inhabitants, and the number in later years
is stated to be 150 per million. The causes
which lead to suicide are of course varied—
climate, religion and family relation’s,being
conditions which exert a marked influence.
Dr. Morselli finds that during the change -
from cold to heat in spring suicides are more
numerous than at other seasons. Very curi-
ously, suicides are more frequent everywhere
during the first third of any unonth than in
the second, and during the second third than
in the last. Protestants are far more inclined
to self-destruction than Catholics; men,than
women ; unmarried,than married; the young,
than old. Suicides are most frequent among
brain-workers,—such as professional 'men;
soldiers ranking next. Drdwning and hang-
ing are most often the means employed by '
suicides. _. '
Among the results of a journey across the
Sahara, Dr. Oscar Lenz reports that no de-
pression below sea-level could be found. The
schemes entertained for the flooding of the
desert with waser from the sea are therefore
hopeless and misleading.

A Surprised Policeman.
“Talk about bold bank burglaries,” said a
member of the police force this morning, “the
slickest steal I ever heard of was the rob-
bery of a bank down in Rhode Island, six or
seven years ago. It was a bitter cold night,
and a night patrolmannoticed‘a dim light in
the bank widow, and going up to the door,
rapped." ‘
“Is that you, patrolman 1’” asked a voice
from within. .
“ Yes,” wa's the reply. '
“ Step in and get a heat," said a voice
fromwithin. The patgolman stepped inside
and encountered}: dapper little fellow, wear-
ing a green shade over his eyes and a pen ba-
hind his ear. ‘
“ You are working lac to-night,” said the
patrolman. *
“ Yes,” said the dapper little fellow, “ I’ve
been detained to~night straightening up ac-
counts. ”
The patrolman warmed himself at the
roaring big fire that blazed on the hearth,
and went out again on his best. An hour
5
’ after the patrolman came that way, and still
seeing the light through'the window, rapped
again,
“ Is that you, patroleman ?" ~
“ Yes. ”
“ Come in and warm yourself."
The patrolman accepted the invitation.
“ It's a bowling cold night,”'said the mm
with a green shade over his eyes.
“ You bet,” said the patrolman. Soho took
another heat and returned to his beat. He
was rather surprised next day to learn that
the fireside friend of the night before had got
away with some $90,000 of the‘bank’s funds. .
