Alice Cary's Dying Hymn.
Earth, with on dark and dreadful ills.
R‘ecedes and fades away:
Lift up your heads ye heavenly hills, ,
Ye gates of death give away!

My soul is full of whispering song;
My'blindhess is my sight;

The shadows that I feared so long,
Are all alive with light.

That while my pplses faintly beat,
My faith doth so abound,

'1 feel grow firm beneath my 'feet
The greer, immortal ground.

Thai. faith to me a courage gives,
Low as the grave to go;

I know that my Redeemer lives—
That 1 shall live I know.

The palace walls I almost see,
Where dwells my Lord and King.
0, grave, where is thy victory!
0, death! where is thy sling? v

 

Rev. Dr. Plumer’s Monument.
From the 0. Y. Observer,

 

During a recent visit to the city of Rich-
mond, Va., I visited Hollywood, the beauti-
ful cemetery on the banks of the James riv-
er. After driving through shady avenues
and looking upon the tombs of James Mon-
roe and other distinguished men, we came

' into the new part of the cemetery. As soon
as we entered this part, we saw the beautiful
monument erected by the Rev. Dr. Conkling,
of New York, to the memory of. the late
Rev. Dr. Plumer. It is a token of the love
of one of Dr. Plumer’s students in Allegheny,
Pa. 'It is built of Richmond granite, with
base about" five feet square and eighteen
inches high, on which is modestly inscribed
“Erected by a loving student. ”

The next base is about four feet square
and ineteen inches high. On this the name
Plumer, in raised capitals, stands out in bold
relief. This is surmounted by a solid block,
three feet square by about three feet three
inches in height. The four panels of the die
are beautifully polished,§and it is surmounted
by a cap three feet square, and fifteen inches
high. Above this is a solid shaft over four-
teen feet high,making the total height of the
monument twenty-two feet and two inches.

But I was struck by the epitaph, and could
not but admire it for its exact-truthfulness.
The frontface of the dieha‘s the doctor's name
and dates of birth and death, with the text:
"For me to live is Christ, to die is gain." '

Then on the other three sides is placed the
following true description of one of God's
most faithful servants:

On one side is cut.—

‘ A MAN
of majestic form and patriarchal manner,per-
fgct integrity, apostolic fervor, truest friend-
s 1p' a CHRISTIAN, j
lowly in trust, instant in prayer, abundant «in
good works, given to hospitality, loving the
brethren. . - ~ ' .

On the third side is curved.—

A HUSBAND AND FATHER,
blessing the house that rejoiced in its head.
A PREACHER,
eloquent, instructive, persuasive, Scriptural,
wise to win'souls, knowing only Christ and
him crucified. . ' -

‘ ’ ' A PASTOR, .

like the Good Shepherd, leading the flock be-

side the still waters, carrying the lambs in

his bosom. -
A PROFESSOR,
mighty in the Scriptures, apt to teach, wise
an affectionate in counsel, beloved by his
students, whom he led to the fountain of
living truth.
The fourth and last side has—

A LEADER OF THE CHURCH,
discharging every offce committed to him
with dignity, ability and distinguished use-
fulness; leaving the impress of his character
on his generation, and a memory to be cher-
ished with honor and affection by those who
survive him.

To every word of this testimony from' a
faithful;heart,thousands all over our land
and even in foreign climes will give the lov-

ing response, " It is all so tTue.”

It is seldom, says the New York Tribune,
that a man is permitted to see so great an
oak from such an acorn grow- Dr. John F.
Gray, whose death occurred in New York
Monday. is said to have been the first phy-
sician in this country who adopted the doc-
trines of Hahnemann. . This was in 1826,
about a year after, Dr. Gray returned to the
United States from Copenhagen, to promul-
gate what was then pronounced to be the
rankest kind of .a medical heresy. But this
heresy, like others, spread, and now scattered
throughout the states of the Union there are
over 6,000 physicians who believe that like
cures like. '

On the first day of J one, 1832, just fifty

 

ears ago, six bands of music from Bristol,-
arifiville, Collinsville, Plainville, New Brit-

taln and Southington met in Farmington,each
band designatedby appropriate regalis, and
two military companies came out to join Ein
the celebration. Several canal boats were

The will Of. John T. Johns was broken by
a Baltimore jury, and the verdict would dis-
tribute the estate - of $200,000 among the
natural heirs; but the lawyers are tryingéto
impeach it, on the ground that one of the
jurors was unduly influenced by a flirtation
in the court room with one of the parties in
interest. This person was a young lady,:of
course, and very pretty, while the juror was
a susceptible bachelor. The evidence is that
the two exchanged glances and smiles during
the trial; that they bowed to each other on
meeting in the street; that he said to a fellow

\ juror, “How can we give a verdict against
such a pretty girl i" and that he has since
become a suitor for herhsnd.

A Flight of Birds In the Night.
Worcester Spy.

One cf the phenomena which has been no
ticed in connection with thPcold and stormy
weather of the past four weeks is the enmity
of some species of birds which usually make
their appearance in numbersthroughout the
country from the‘lst to the 15th of this month

~ Although in the mild weather of last month

the early birds came thick and fast, passing
on their way to the-north, the tide of migra.

' tion has apparently been staid by the un-

favorable weather, which has retarded as
well the growth of vegetation in some ways.
Many of. our birds which may be seen here
regularly in_numbers on certain dates every
season have not appearedkat all, or but few
have been seen. It is .wsll known that
flights of birds occur quite regularly in
autumn, before the stol‘us, and in spring
after them. It is silo well known that many
birds in their migrations travel during the
We
were prepared on the rise of the mercury
Saturday evening to note a flight of birds
during the night, and were not disappointed.
The early hours of the evening passed
without much having been heard of 'the
birds, except now and then the chirp of a
warbler or the noise of a small flock passing
overhead. At 11 o’clock,ho'wevsr,_ bird calls
began to resound—high in the air and on all.
sides, and from 12 to 2 o'clock' in the'
morning multitudes of birds were heard
passing overhead; some low, some so high
that their notes came back like a faint echo
from the darkness. Occasionally a flock of
warblers or sparrows would pass, flying so
low that the rustling of their wings could be
heard. Now and then a flock of some small

their call notes a continuing musical ripple
through the night. From the regions of the‘:
upper air, high above all, came back the
tones of theplover and other shore birds, all
tending toward the north. This vast multi-
tude of birds continued to pas throughout
the night. The notes of many, such as the
bobolink, tanager, Wilson’s thrush, white.
crowned sparrow, etc., were recognized, and
during a walk Sunday morning these birds
and many others were found 'in numbers.
Those who wish to observe the :amaller land
birds now on their way north should be on
the alert, for in ten days from this time very
few birds will be .found here, except our.
summer residents. This flight of birds, which
is probably not local, may extend over the
entire portion of the northern United States
east of the Mississisippi, or even further.
Countless millions of birds are now spreading
through these states“, returning from their
wanderings in sodthern forests'to their old
homes in the north. '

A recent writer directs attention 'to the
copra trade in the South Pacific as a source
of considerable present and of greater pros-
pective profit. Copra is now the chief ex-
port of the Fiji and of some other South Sea

cocoanut. The best is that which is dried
whole before breaking the nut. A floored
shed in which to stack the nuts is necessary ;
if they are allowed to touch the ground they
will germinate instead of growing. The
tough husk which envelopes the shell mnstfinot
be removed, else the kalulu, a sort of cock-
roach, makes its way through the one vul-
nerable point or eye in the shell and regales
itself ,upon the- water contained in it. It
takes three months for the water to disap-
pear. Meanwhile, the kernel has become as
dry and tough as glue. The husk and the
hard shell are now removed, and the hollow
shrunken shell of kernel is broken up into
fragments to reduce its bulk. In this state
it will keep :forever.’ Copra is also cured by
opening the 'fresh nuts and sun drying the?
meat for three days, or more if the weather
is cloudy. The article thus prepared is
never, however, equal to that which is dried
in the husk, the proCess being too rapid.
Besides this, rain injures it, and if artificial
heat is used in the drying, the copra always
breeds animalcules which destroys it. Cocoa-
nut oil, in much demand as a lubricator, is
extracted from copra, and the refuse is
worked up into cocoanut biscuits, or used to
enrich cattle food. Copra is worth about
£14 per ton in Fiji, and from £21 to £23 in
London; the fibre is worth a little more, but
at present most of it is thrown away. The
bear all the year round in the South
Pacific. Each tree will average 100 nuts per
annum: about 6,000 nuts go to make 'a ton
of copra, and they can be bought from] the
Fijian natives at 259. per thousand. In those
islands some 10,000 acres of cocoanut trees
are now under cultivation. During the year
1878 this group alone exported copra to the
value of £122,194. The Samoan cocoanuts
are even larger than those of Fiji, but the
manufacture is not yet developed in Samoa.

Mailed Seventeen Years Ago.

3 Strange mishaps sometimes overtake our
letters. This has been illustrated within the
past few days in the case of a letter written
seventeen years ago, which has only just now
reched its destination. Two weeks ago,
while workmen were repairing mail-car No
31, of the Illinois Central railroad, they dis-
covered, secreted in the casing, a letter much
faded and. the address almost obliterated.
The letter was finally deciphered,and the age
nlissive found to be for Miss Mahala Casey of
Joilet. It was at once sent there, and the
postmaster learning that the lady had re-
moved to Hannibal, Mo.,forwarded it to that
place, where it wasfiuaily delivered to Mrs.
W. H. Mungcr who was formerly Miss Casey
Mrs. Munger acknowleged the receipt of the
letter, and thanked the railway mail service
for the pains taken to discover her where-
abouts. As the letter was not of an important
chhraéter, nothing was lost by the long delay

Iin its delivery.—Ezchange. ,

Willard Parker, M. D.,says: “I do not
place my individual self in opposition to to-
bacco, but science, in the form of physiolo-

is the expression of God’s will in‘ the govern-
ment of His work in the universe.” A Brit-

She was a little Irish maid,

With light brown hair and eyes of grs y.
And she had left her native shore, .

And journeyed miles and miles away
Across the ocean, to the land .

Where waves the banner of the free,
And on-her face a shadow lay.

' For sick at heart for home was she. .

Then from the city’s dust and best
And ceaseless noise, they took her where
The birds were singing in the trees
And flower fragrance filled the air.
And there, their leaf-crowned heads upraised
To greet the pretty gray-eyed lass,
A million blossoms starred the road
And grew among the waving grass.

“Why, 'here are daisies?" glad she cried,
And with hands clasped sank on her knees.
“Now God be praised, who east and west
Scatters such lovely things as these!
Around my mother’s cabin dobr
In dear old Ireland they grow.
With hearts of gold, and slender leaves
As white as newly fallen snow."

Then up she sprang with smiling lips.
Though on her check there lay a tear,

"l‘his land’s not half so strange," she said,
“Since I have foundthe daisies here.” -

A retired wholesale liquor dealer'recently
said to an interviewer from the New York
Times .'

More than two-thirds of the stud sold for
brandy in this country is the meanest kind of
poison. It is manufactured from an oil of
cognac. In most of the gin sold there will
be found oil of vitriol, oil of turpentine, oil
‘of almonds, sulphuric ether, and extract of
grains of paradise. You can purchase oils
and essences from which‘whisky of any
age” can he produced. This style of whisky
when tested will show suiphu? acid caustic
potassa, benzine, and nux vom es, and other
poisons. This is the sort of stuff that bores

' into the coatilig of the stomach and creates

ulcers. In porter you will find opium,
herhane, capsicum, cocculus indicus, cop-
peras, tobacco, and sulphuric acid. In beer,
—alum, opium, nux vomica, green copperas,
vitrol, sub-carbonate of potash, and jalop
are used. Cocculus indicus is used largely
in cheap beer. Three grains will produce
nausea and prostration; 10 grains will throw
astrong dog into convulsions. Fox glove
and henbane are used for about the same
purposes as cocculus, Oil of vitroil is used
to increase the heating qualities of liquor,
‘vormwood is used for its bitter and stimula-

A move is on foot to establish in or near

In the city of Denver, during the year
1880, the total income from the sale of boots
and shoes, clothing, coal, and the products
of the bakeries amounted t 0 $1,875,000.
The income from the sale of liquors amount-
ed to $2,000,000, or $125,000 more than was
expended for the above necessaries of life.

The Wisconsin Prohibitory'State Commit-
tee has issued along address congratulating
the party hpon having cast over thirteen
thousand votes at the late election, and ad-
vising thorough organization and no compro-
mise in the future. Incidentally it is assert-
ed that the Republican party has outlived its
influence, and that many of the more prom-
ncxt leaders of the Democratic party in th
State have for months past advocated that
party’s disbanding, as it has no living issue
at stake, and no principles worth contending
for. 4 ._

Luck of'One Day’s Fishing.

 

One morning when spring was in her teens,

A mom to a poet’s wishing, .

'All tinted in delicate pinks and greens—-

Miss Bessie and I went fishing.

In my rough and easy clothes,

With my face at the sunshine’s mercy;

She with her hat tied dam: to her nose,

And hermose tipped—vice verse.

I with my red, my reel and my 1100st

And a hamper for lunching recesses; '

She with the bait of her comely looks,

And the seine of her ghlden tresses. _

So we sat down on the sunny dike,

Where the white ipond lilies teeter.

And I went to fishing like quaint old Ike ,

And she like Simon Peter. ,

All the noon I laid in the light of her eyes,

And dreamily watched and waited.

And the baiter alone was'baited.

Mlfig PIlEs But the fish were cunning and would not rise,
And when the time for departure came,

The bag was flat as a flounder,

But Bessie had neatly hooked her game,

A hundred'and eighty pounder.

. Grapes exposed to sunlight contain, ac-
cording to Dr. A. L. de Villanova, three and
three-fourths per cent. more sugar and more
than one per cent. less acid than those which
have remained in darkness.

The city of Paris has granted a piece of
ground in the park of Montsouris for a school
of insectology. The useful insects (such as
bees and silkworms, the auxiliary insects (or
these useful to plants), and the noxiouse in-
sects will all be studied.

The gathering in of cloth stretched in
large bleach-fields is a new European appli-‘
cation of the electric railway. The railway
constructed has twenty-one branches, each
about a - third of a mile in length. The
pieces of cloth are' connected at the ends so
as to form long lengths, and the railway
trucks roll up as much in half an hour as
could be done by the old method in an entire
day. '

The present increase of the population of
England from excess of births over deaths is

 

 

about one and a half per cent. a year; and
Proctor computes that if the world had start-
ed with one million inhabitants 5,000 years
ago (an estimate probably far too low) and
had made a uniform increase at that rate,
the earth’s present population would be
213,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,- .
000,000. -Even if the world’s population had
been only 4,000 years ago, and the same
rate of increase had keen kept up that is
now in progress in England, the number
would now be so great that 122,000,000,000
such globes as this earth would only give
standing room for the vast population sup-
posing the entire surface of the globe to be
occupied. -

French Government commissions seem to
favor attempting the formation of an Alger-
ian sea by flooding the Sahara, notwithstand-
ing pbjections made.

The fifty-second annual meeting of the
British Ascociation for the Advancement of
Science will commence at Southampton,
August 23; the French Associations eleventh
meeting, at RochellgmAuzust 24; and the
American Association’s thirty-first meeting,
at Montreal, August 23. Some of the most
remarkable discoveries of_the year are usu-
ally announced ,at these glut gatherings of
ssvants ‘ '

The failure of seeds to grow during the
cold season proves that a higher temperature
is necessary for their germination, and it is
a veryzuatnral supposition that the best re-
sults are to be obtained when the heat has
been raised to as high a degree as possible
without destroying the seeds. Prof H.
Bullion shows that this is far from being the
case with all seeds. In an experiment re-
peated several times he has obtained a much
more rapid growth from the almond and
walnut seeds .in a house kept at a tempera-
ture varying during the twenty-four hours
from 43 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit than in a
house heated to 59 to 77 degrees. ‘ Further-
more, the plants started in the warm house
were earlier arrested in .their development
than those from the cool house. A further
study of this subject might lead to valuable
results in showing the most favorable tem-
perature for hot-houses for the various kinds
of seeds, and in pointing out the plants
which cannot be profitably forced in hot-
houses. ‘

Plateau, the eminent French naturalist,
finds that a June bag can exert as great a
force in proportion to its size as a locomo-
tive.

English microscopists have given various
facts showing that human subjects have been
in many cases infected with filaris, a much-
dreaded worm parasite, by mosquitoes.
These parasites breed in countless numbers
in the human body, usually invading the
circulation in the evening, increasing still
midnight, and then retiring to other parts of
the system. , '

M. Renan has expressed the belief that a
century hence mankind will study little else
than physical science. ' -

The curious ideas concerning natural phe-
nomena entertained by the Japanese a few
decades ago are illustrated by a work teach-
ing of “Heaven and Earth," written in 1821
and just translated into English. According
to this work, the earth and the heavens are
governed by a male and a female principle.
Rain is a changed form of the male principle
and the vapor under the earth sinks into the
earth it pursues the female principle. The
earth is the mother of all things, and the
heavens move from east to west—contrary
to the motion of running water, which flows
