Closed are the violet eyes.
flushed are the troubled sighs,

We need not hold the breath,
It is the. sleep of Death ;
Our little child is in God‘s keeping.

So full of joy and childish pleasure;
Now safe in heaven above,
He knows a greater love

May stand our little one,
Near to the blessed Saviour oven;
His wondering eyes he’ll raise,
And with the angel’s gaze,
Upon the face of God in heaven.

In a few fleeting years,
In the bright realms above, we’ll meet him ;
No pain will mar his face,
’I‘will beam with heavenly grace,
When we (to part no more) shall greet him.
Letters from the People.
an YonK, J une, 29, 1882.
Masses. Enrrons:
There came to Dumpling Hill about the
middle of the last century, a man by the
name of Moses Burr, a man of considerable
wealth. for that time; he was spoken of as
crazy Burr. Legend says the cause 'of his
delirium was a brain fever caused by expos-
urejn getting hay in a swamp; but previous
to this, for a long time he had manifesteda
deep concern for his spiritual condition.
« How long he lived in this mental darkness,
I cannot tell, but it. is safe to say forty or
more years. He wandered about mostly on
or near his own premises, seldom, if ever
visiting a neighbor‘s house. About the year
1833 Or 1834 (a matter of recollection en-
tirely) he came to my uncle, Nathan Gilbert
Gates and looked as though he would like to
come in. I went and invited him into the
shop where I was working, he readily ap-
cepted and came in after a short pause, he
asked if I would sing one of Watts‘ hymns.
I asked if he had any particular preference,
he answered in the negative; and ,then said,
“I have found the Lord and I know you
sing, and I am happy and‘ I want to hear
singing.” I sang a number of selections
and invited him to come and hear a sermon
(for there was. preaching there every four
weeks), he came, and his wife, (Aunt Mabel)
with him he seemed very happy in his new
experience for a while, but the cloud settled
again upon his mind and he remained so un-
til his death, which occurred ;but a short
time afterward. Why this Lucid Interval P

Perilous Balloon Ascension.
Oswnoo, N. Y., July 4.—Madam Adelle
made a balloon ascension from this city this
afternoon. She was carried out over Lake
Ontario soon after rising. After throwing
out everything to keep up, hoping to strike a
current that would carry her back over the
land, she saw a ing on the lake apparently
following her. She then opened the valve
andcamc down in the water about seven
miles from land, clinging to the balloon. She
was'dragged through tho-water several miles
and was finally picked up in a very exhaust-
ed condition by the tug C. P. Morey, which
was on the lake with an excursion party,
about seventeen miles west of this city. She
was in the water nearly an hour. The tug
brought her and the balloon safely to this
port. ~.
The novel police system adopted by Chica-
go a year and a half ago is said to have proved
perfectly successful. The city is divided into
twentyfour districts, in each of which is a
depot containing three policemen, a wagon
and four horses. Throughout the city are
police boxes, looking like the old fashioned
sentry boxes, and provided with telegraph
signals and telephones. The door is kept
locked, but can be opened by anybody need-
ing police aid, keys being liberally 'distrimted
among stores and residences. Priyate indi-
viduals can thus send an alarm by telegraph,
just as we transmit fire calls in this city.
Each key is numbered and registered, and,
after being used to open abox, is held fast in
the lock until released by a policeman. Thus
mischievously false alarms are detected.
When an alarm is received at a depot the-pe-
lice on duty there drive quickly to the box in
response. The telephones are used by pa.-
trolmen to make periodical report, and there-
by roundsmen are done away with, and every
man is directly under the control of his cap-
tain. When a patrolman makes an arrest he
does not desert his heat, but calls the wagon
to take the prisoner away. Householders
may have private signal boxes by paying the
cost. The superintendent declares that his
force is much better controlled than before,
that crimes are fewer, that criminals are
more easily caught, and that the expense is
no greater.
A Druggtst’s Love.
It was cvening,when a youth with “penny-
royal” step slowly meandered down a “ser-
pentaria" walk, apparently communing with
the “sweet spirits of nitre." “ ‘Aconite miss
her,” he whispered in stentorian tones; “I
‘sloes’ could depend upon her. 0 cupid,how
‘bitter-sweet l' Hark! what was that ? Noth-
ing but abelated ‘colt’s-foot "borne upon the
‘squilly’ breeze. Ten miles I . ‘camphor’ to
see her, to gaze into her ‘glycerine’ eyes.
Ob, why should I ‘sulphur’ thus 1’” and with
‘anagonized, prolonged, soul-stirring, "con
centrsted ginger” cry of “Bella Donna l" he
was an Italian) he recklessly threw himself
intoa “fustic” chair, and the clock boomed
eight. An “ethereal,” “chlorgformic” step
gently approached, a lissome figure with a
face of “cold creamy" complexion, nearer,
nearer, and the clock boomed nine. The
distant .barking of a dog mingles harmoni-
ously with “wild cherry," “Peruvian” and
“elm" bark, ravishing to the senses. He
starts up with glad "hops," rushes forward.
and soon his lips are “ground glued" to hers
“My darling l" he mutters, "“Iodidc of pot-
ash’ had you failed me,but now hopes, doubts
I no ‘morphia.’ I ‘castor oil’ to the wt ads."
But she only gazed into his “blue mass” eyes
and the clocked boomed ten. .
“An Ambitious Individual.”
“Oh! I’m boiling over to do some good
set," shouted a politician the other day, as
his red nose protruded from a face ornament-
ed with unhealthy blotches. “Well, sir,”
replied a friendly listener, “unless you want
to btflin animated sign for a drug store, and
make the passers-by sick, I would adVise
you to use Swayne’s Ointmen. and be cured
of that skin disease." The ambitious man
acted upon the advice, and is now a livrng
exemplification of what this excellent remedy
can accomplish. 4t28

Is it‘a curious fact that the John A. Porter
essay prize at Yale—the most valuable of all
the literary prizes and open to students in
any department'of the university—was this
year awarded to Mr. Morrow, a law student,
making the sixth time that this prize has been
taken by the law over the other departments.
It is because the study of law develops lite-
rary talent to a greater extent than that of
theology, the fine arts, or any of the other
numerous subjects in the other special
schools P Perhaps it is because law-students
are the least lazy or have the most time for
general work.— Waterbury American.

Is it not J ully ‘1’
But where is the Custard Pic P A
say that ninety girls out of every hundred
would describe every variety of social
pleasure or amusement by declaring that
they “had a good time,” or a lovely-time,”
or a “beautiful time.” “Awfully nice" and
L‘awfully jolly” are sufficiently indefinite to
qualify almost any noun in the dictionary,
and are conveniently vague ways of convey-
ing one's impressions withoutjequiring that
theimpressions shall be too closely defined
or analyzed; and they dispense with the
troublesome necessity of fitting the words to
theihought, which becomes unavoidable if
one is obliged t i find one’s self in expression.
Slang phrases cousrnntly present themselves
as the miles: and most obvious thing to say
about people, or planes, or books, or sensu-
tions. when it would involve some mental
effort to- describe them more accurately.
The field of slang offers no restrictions, and
is as open to women as to the privileged sex :;
and expressions the most yulgar and dis-
gusting may be heard coming from very
pretty lips. This slovingly way of expressing
onc’s ideas, cxterminates all dignity and re-
fincmcnt of thought and speech, and makes
a woman not only commonplace, but com-
mon. It make’s a girl's mind seem a place
open to all comers—a court without a sane-
tuary. The accessibility and “hail-fellow-
well-met" air go far to destroy the distinct
definite charm of a woman’s conversation.
It is not necessary that people who speak
good English should be elaborate, or stiff,
or pedantic. The very best and most vigor-
ous English is madcap of short, simple
words and idiomatic, natural expressions,
and safer removed from formalism or af-
fections as slang itself. The charm of a
clever, fascinating woman's ,conversstion,
like the charm of some of the most beauti-
ful poetry, often lies more in the manner
than in the matter. A woman who wishes
to acquire that permanent charm of conver-
sation which a iclevcr, cultivated woman or
man so abundantly possess, should carefully
avoid slang words and phrases. Youth and
prettiness gain toleration for a little coarse.

and prettincss go, the coarseness and want
of ,dignity remain, unmodified and unjusti-

SICK Grumman—The vicissitudes neces-
sarily incident to an out-door and primitive
mode of life are never the first causes of any
disease, though they may sometimes betray
its presence. Bronchitis, nowadays per-
haps the most frequent of all infantile dis-
eases, make nos exception to this rule; a
draft of cold air may reveal the latént pro-
gress of this disorder, but its cause is long
confinement in a vitiated and over-heated
atmosphere, and its proper remedy, ventila-
tion and a mild, phlegm-loosening» (sac-
charine) diet, warm sweet milk, sweet oat-
meal porridge or~ honey-water. Select an
airy bed room, and do not be afraid to open
the windows. Among the children of the
Indian tribes who brave in open tents the
terrible Winters of the Hudson Bay, terri-
tory, bronchitis, croup and diphtheria are
wholly unknown; and what _we call “ta-'
king cold” might oftenbe more correctly
described as taking hot; glowing stoves,‘
in a night-nursery, aggravate the Clients of
an impure atmosphere. The first paroxyism
of croup can be promptly relieved by the
very' simple remedies—fresh air and a
rapid forward and backward movement
of the arms, combined in urgent cases with
the application of a flesh-brush (or piece of
flannel) to the neck and upper part of the.
chest. Paragoric and poppy-syrup stop the
cough by lethargizing the irritability and
thus preventing the dischargegof the phe"
till its accumulation produces a second and
far more dangerous iparoxysm. These
second attacks of croup (after the adminis-
tration of palliatives) are generally the fatal
ones. When a child is convalescing, let
him beware of stimulating food and over-
heated rooms. Do not give aperient medi-
cines; costiveness, as fin after-effect ,of
peuritic affection, will soon yield to fresh
air and vegetable diet.

Mr. aners. Thomas A. Moore, an old
and eminently respectable cohple livirg
near Walnut Hill, 10., have recently been
made the victims of a conspiracy. on the
part of their lawyers, which unlike most
conspiracies has resulted in great satisfaction
to all concerned. The palr, who had lived
together apparently in unusual amity and
good fellowship for over forty years, and to
whom thirteen children had been born, dis-
covered in some sudden moment of insight
that their tempers were incompatible, and
separated then and there. The wife brought
a suit for divorce, and the trial begun a few
weeks since at Mt. Vernon. Judge and
lawyers, amazed at the absurdity of the case
determined to bring about a reconciliation.
As a result a conciliatory speech was made
during the afternoon session, each lawyer
expatiating upon the susceptibility to all the
most‘desirablejsentiments of enlightened hu-
manity, pad the judge following in a pa-
thetic little appeal and admonition. The
husband, who "had grown more and more
nervous, threw himself back in his chair and
locked furtively at his wife. The wife re-
turned tire glance with a sudden flash of
feeling; both rose, clasped frauds, and in the
midst of applause and congratulations, hur-
ried to their buggy and drove toward home
at a rate so unprecedented that the family
horse? has eyed both owners apprehensively
ever since. . -'
Very few people know that the little ab-
surd nursery rhyme, beginning
“There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
That hung right down on her forehead,
And when she was good,
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad she :was horrid.”
was written by Longfellow. Blanche Rose-
velt, in her charming little volume, just
published by Carleton, entitled “Longfel-
low’s Home Life, relates the incident of the
great poet’s confession that his pen wrote
the lines years ago when hisdaughter Edith
was such a child as the verses described.
The disclosure will give the lines a new in-
terest. .

The three mile law in Arkansas is proving
to be a novel law. A majority of the adult
residents, male and female, can prevent the
issuing of a license to a saloon within three
miles of a church or school house. When
the people wish to get rid of a saloon they
build a school house or church.
When an Austin school master entered his
temple of learning a few mornings ago, he
read on the blackboard the touching legend
“our teacher is a donkey.” The pupils ex-
pected there would be a combined cyclone
and earthquake, but the philosophic peda-
gogue contented himself with adding the
word "driver” to the legend, and opened the
school as usual. .

Beer-Drinking. _
The great increase in beer-drinking in this
country has been attended also with a great
increase of Bright’s disease. . Medical testi-
mony against beer as a prolific cause of this
very serious disease centinually accumulates.
A New York correspondent of {he Cincinnati
Enquirer, relates a conversation upon this
subject with D. Montros I’alen, who was
prominent in the late international conven-
tion of physicians in London, wherein, in
answer to a question as to whether he
“thought there was any connection between'
lager beer and Bright’s disease,” the latter
said: “The man who habitually drinks beer
is sure to have Bright‘s disease. Beer in
large quantities is one of the worst things, a
man can ruin his stomach and organs with.
In Germany where the students drink a great
deal of deer, their kidneys and bladders are
always affected." In the light of such testi-
mony it becomes the obvious duty of the.
state to discdurage and repress, beer making
and beer selling, as it also. is of all friends of
temperance to discourage beer drinking. ~
Prohibition does Prohibit.
Rev.Dr. Cyrus II. Hamlinfthe well-known
missionary in Turkey, in a letter to the
Southern Presbyterian Review, speaking of
the workings of the prohibitory law in Maine
says: “ We have passed through the whole
length of the state from New Hampshire to
New Brunswick, and have conversed with
every class, and we can bear the most decid-
a great success, but it is most firmly estab-
lished in the hearts of an immense majority
of the people. This is further proved by the
fact that almost every year increases its effi-
ciency. Its weak points are from time to
time, strengthened, objectionable points are
modified, but no one attempts to relax it, no
one dares assail it. The excellence of the
Maine law, however, is in execution. The
people sustain it. They have considered
well the evils of intemperance, and have de-
cided to do awayrwith them.
Enforcement of P 'ohlbition ~in
, . Kansas.
Notwithstanding the conflicting reports
which come from Kansas respecting the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, there is no
doubt but that it is as well enforced as other
criminal laws outside of a few cities. A cor-
spent three months in Central and Southern
Kansas, travelling the entire length of the
State—from Atchinson on the MissouriRiver
to the frontier, fifty miles west of Dodge City
vlsiting countyseats and many of the larger
towns says: I have had a favorable oppor-
tunity of learning the workings of prohibi-
tion in Kansas. The prohibitory law is en-
forced with fully as much vigor as are other
statutes. Many violators of the law have
been arraigned before the courts; numerous
convictions have occurred.with fines of $100
for each offence, and costs often amount to
$150 more; and even where there has been
a failure to convict, the liquor.seller has been
kept in a hot water of agitation and anxiety.
The results are most salutary. Public semi?“
merit in favor of the law is increasing. Even
journals indifferent to the principle, advocate
the enforcement of the statute as law-abiding
citizens. Twenty-five ministers met recently
at an association in Kansas. . Twenty-three
of them reported from a partial to an entire
success in the enforcement of prohibition in
their respective towns. The distillery at T0-
pefi stopped manufacturing in February,
and its owners are going to remove it to a
license State,acknowledging that the business
has become disagreeable, dangerous and un-
profitable. The president of the distillery
company is reported tohave already said:
”Nearly one-half of the liquor trade has fal-
len off; we meet with constant opposition,
are hampered and bounded by temperance
people, liable to he closed up by the State
authorities and fined; none of the first class
insurance companies will have anything to
do with our property."
Governor St. John of Kansas, writes to a
friend in Columbus, Ohio, that he is “glad
that the logic of events has forced the Re-
publican party of Ohio to step boldly to the
front and raise the battle axe against the
traffic of intoxicating liquors and human
souls, and thus become what God intended
it to be—the party of right and principle, the
defender and protector of the homes of the
people."

Fifteen factories employ chemists for flav-
oring cigars. It is said that few cigars are
an alcoholic tincture of it. Into cigarsenter
also-tho- tonks bean, balsam fir, and cedar
oil; and into cigarettes also cascarilla bark.
But the best ,imitator of tobacco flavor is val-
erfan; by the use of vanilla and valerian the
poorest stems may be made to answer for
fair tobacco. Besides these ingredients p0.
tato leaves, sugar, potash, tamarinds, ani-
seed, gum, and other articles are used.
To make cigars burn freely ammonia is
used, and they are soaked in saltpetrc; this
chemical is said to make the young old with
dispatch. The intoxicatin effect of some
cigars is due to tho addit ‘of rum, or a
solution of sulphuric ether and bromide of
potassium. ' '

Ever strewn along our pathway?
Travel on, and “never mind.”
Travel Onward, working, hoping,
Cast no lingering glance behind
At the trials once encountered,
Look ahead, and “never mind.”
What is past is past forever ;
Let all the fretting he resigned ;
It will never help the matter—
Do your best, and “never mind.”
And if- those who might befriend you,
Whom the tics of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven, andlgncvcr mind."
Friendly words are often spoken
thu the feelings are unkind;
Take them for their real value.
Pass them by, and “never mind."
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies may be combined;
If your trust in God is steadfast,
He will help you “never mind."
He was up upon the races,
Knew the stables all by heart,
\Vatchcd the fiyers thrbugli their paces—
Gucssed the finish at the start.
He would glibly tell the history
or each horse upon the track,
And in accents full of mystery
Tip you always which to back.
He would strike a combination
In a most prophetic way,
And he’d beat the whole creation
On a short horQe sort of play.
It was always his ambition
To be rated ratherfast,
And he boasted in perdition
He would pull up at the last.
But alas for fortune fickle,
This would be heavy scamp
Is to-day without a nickel
And a park bench bummer tramp.
Which shows how real life knocks romance
dizzy. -——Br,onklyn Eagle.
SCIENTIFIC ESCELLANY.
The electric light is reported to have been
tried in France as a lure for sea fish. The
brilliant glare of a submerged lamp is found
to attract great numbers of fishes, which may
be readily captured in nets.
The specific gravity of liquid steel has re-

trains shakes the earth for considerable
distances, and observation of such facts is
gradually giving rise to a belief that the force
necessary to produce earthquake shocks has
been over-estimated. A delicate apparatus
used by Prof. H. W. Paul showed quite
strong vibrations on the passing of an ex-
press train a third of a mile away, and like
effects were observed even at somewhat
greter distances. A perceptible vibration
was transmitted through the ground when-
ever a stone was struck by the wheels of a
one-horse vehicle passing at a distance of 400
or 500 feet.
Helmuth-Drueberg, of Berlin, contends
that the opposite side of the moon from the
earth may have air and water, and be in-
habited. The-same side of the moon is al-
ways turned to the earth, and the centrifugal
force arising from the ’s motion around
the carthrwould to , throw such light
and fluid portions of its substance as air and
water to the further side, while to earth’s
attraction would contribute to keep the
the heavy side toward us. As an illustration
a moistened ball may be swung by a cord.
The same side will always be toward the
centre of revolution, and the moisture will
pass to the outer side. -
The value of agricultural purposes of the
blood of the 42,000,000 animals yearly
slaughtered in France is estimated by a
French writer tp be 21,000,000 francs. Va-
rious methods have been proposed for treat- -
ing the blood so as to prevent nuisance.
According to a paper from Dr. C. J.
Macgowan, the orange trees in portions of
the province of Canton, in China, are in-
jured by certain worms, to destroy which
the inhabitants import ants from the neigh-
boring _hills. The ants aré of two species,
and inhabit nests suspended from the branch-
es of trees. They are' collected and trans-
ported in bladders, .and are placed in the
tops of the orange trees,wbich are connected
by means of bamboo rods so as to give the
ants ready access to all parts of the orchard.
The remedy has been in constant use at least
' since 1640, and probably dates from a much
earlier period. Prof. C, V. Riley wishes to
learn if these species ,of ant have ever been
determined. 0
Mr. A. H. Swiuton has endeavored to
show the relation existing between the ap-
pearance of insects and sun-spot cycles, and
gives a tabulated record to prorethat cer-
tain insects are most numerous during the
years immediately following a minimum of
sun-spots, and nice 06750. If this theory may
be applied to all species, a period of insect
scarcity should now follow the remarkable
activity of the sun’s surface for some time
. past.
‘The strength of hoisting cables for mines
has been investigated by a Frenchcommis-
sion. Greater care is found to be necessary
with metalic cables than with those of textile
materials, on‘account of liability to corrosion
and preference is given to the latter for most
mines. '
Croll, in his “Climate and Time,” says '-
“Here is one way of conveying to' the mind
some idea of what a million of years is.
Take a strip of paper an inch broad or more
and eighty-three feet four inches in length,
stretch it along the wall of a large ball, or
round the walls of an apartment somewhat
over twenty feet square. Recall to memory -
the days of your boyhood, so as to net some
adequate conception of what a period of a
hundred years, is. Then mark 05 from
one of the ends of the strip one-tenth of an
inch will then represent one hundred years,
and the entire length of the strip a million
of years. It is well worth making the
experiment, just in order to feel the striking
impression that it produces on the mind.
Could We stand upon the edge of a gorge, a
mileaud a half in depth, that had been cut
out of the solid rock by a tiny stream
scarcely visible at the bottom of this fearful-
abyss, and were we informed that this ltitle
streamlct was able to wear off annually only
one-tenth of an inch from its rocky bed,
whatwould our conception be of the pro-
digious length of time that this stream must
have taken to excavate the gorge? We
should certainly feel startled when, on mak-
ing the necessary calculations, we found that
the stream had performed this enormous
amount of work in something less than a
million of years."
By an improved method, the quantity of
blood in living mammals has been ascertained
t9 be between one-twelfth and one thirteenth
of the weight of the body. Under normal
conditions this proportion varies but little.
A healthy man weighing 150 pounds must
therefore carry about twelve pounds of
blood.
Evidence that the Dead Sea was once a
part of the ocean has ,been presented to the
Paris Academy of Sciences.

Postmaster General Howe in a letter to the
scnatecommmce on post offices says that if
postage. on letters is reduced to two cents
there will be a large deficiency and he does
not believe it can be done with safety to the
revenue. He thinks, how'ever, that the post-
age on second-class matter (newspapers)
should be reduced one-half as proposed.
