There is no solitude like this. The belch
Stretched afar. lapped by the sluggish wave,
Is silent, save the murmurons tones that mch
The listening ear, soft, musical and gave.”
Tones that the Winds take up and bear along.
Mingling their sweetness with the land~bird‘s song.
The sea-bird on its lagging wing doth all
Its wandering mate to track the shining sand;
Sn other voice save the hushed winds doth fall
{pan the soothing silence; cool and bland
The zepliyrs come. sweeping old ocean‘s breast.
Charming to peace its bospm of unrest,
As thus the water:- sleep ‘neath tender skies.
Thai bathe them in their own celestial hue,
Let their calm influence still the storms that rise
In the o‘crbnrdt-ned heart. and plant anew
l‘nd} in; hope and strength and patience still,
1'0:me lhc grind or bidt‘ the cumin: ill.
For lit who slumbers not. but keeps alway
liie “inch o'er ocean dceps, thclrcbb and now.
Si-etli ihc surging tides that, dly by day,
Through human hearts forever come and go:

“ Uli, enough," responded his

So a piece of muslin was procured on the
credit But. things did not stop
there. A credit account is too often like a
breach in a canal . llli' SU‘t'Hlll is small at
first, but soon increases to a ruinous current.
Now that want had found source, want be-
cnmr iiiorv clainoi‘ous than before. Scarcely
a day passed that Mr. or Mrs. Jacobs did not
order something from the store, not dl‘t‘ulllL
ing, simple souls, that an alarmingly heavy
debt was accumulating against them.
As to tli4'iiit1niiie of )Ir. Jacobs, it was not
large. lie was. as has been intimated, ti clerk
in a “ litilth-ilt- store, and received a salary of
seven hundred dollars a year. llis family
consisted of a wife and three children, and
be had found it necessary in be prudent in
all his expenditures, in order to " make both
ends meet." Somewhat independent in his
feelings, he had never asked crcdit of any
mic with whom be dealt, and no one offering'
it, previous to the temptingr iiimicciiicnt held
out by Edwards. he had regulated his out
goes by his actual income. By this means he
had managed to keep even with the world,
though not to gain any advantages on the
side of fortune. Let us see how it was with
him at the end of six months, under the
new system. Let us see if his “ good credit"
has been of any real benefit to llllll.
It 'was so very pleasant to have things
comfortable, or for a little display, without
feeling that the indulgence drained the purse
tooheavily. And weak vanity on the part
of the Jacobs, was gratified by the flattering
opinions of his honesty entertained by Ed-
wards, the Storekeeper. llis credit was
“ good," and he was proud of the fact.
But the day of reckoning was approaching,
and at last it came.
Notwithstanding the credit at the dry
goods store, there was no more money in
the young clerk's purse at the end of six
months than at the beginning. The cash that
would have gone for Clothing, when neces-
sity called for additions to the family ward—
robe, bad been spent for things, the purchase
of which would have been omitted but for
the fact that the dollars were in the purse
instead of in the storekeeper‘s hands, and
tempted needltss expenditure.
As the end of the six months‘ credit pe-
riod approached, the mind of Jacobs began
to rest upon the dry goods dealer’s bill, and
to be disturbed by a feeling of anxiety. As
to the amount. of this bill be was'msome
uncertainty; but he thought that it would
not be less than forty dollars. That was a
large sum for him to owe, particularly as he
had nothing ahead, and his current expenses
were fully in; to his income. Itwasnow,
for the first time in his life, that Jacobs felt
thenighnnarepreesuxe ofdebgandit,
seemed at times as if it would almost sufi‘o-
cats him.
One evening he came home, feeling more
sober than usual. He had Wei 1%

The feclinvrs of Jacobs were too much

he received the check, which the employer
immediately filled up; but his countenance
fully expressed his graceful emotions.

Premature lnterments.
Occasionally a case of premature burial
sends a thrill of horror through the commu-
nity, but the lesson which it teaches, that less
haste should be manifested in committing de-
ceased persons to their silent homes, does not
seem to have been heeded, and under the
present custom, the body is hardly cold ere
tlie undertaker is called to perform his sud
office.
The ancient Greeks and Domains took
warning from similar oectireiit-cs, and prohib—
ited the early burial of the dead. The first
recorded instance of the recovery to life of
an individual about to be buried, was that of
a woman in Agrigeiitiini, in ancient Greece,
whose funeral was arrested by Empedocles,
a man of great medical skill, and she was re-
stored to life. After this a law passed for-
bidding interment of deceased persons until
three days had elapsed. Custom extended
this period to the sixth or seventh day, during
which precautions were taken to restore ani-
mation. if it was simply suspended, and often
with effect.
The Romans also had their attention turn-
ed to this matter in the time of I’oinpey, by
a physician. who tltLttLt'tt-tl signs of lift: in a
person supposed 144 be tit-ad, who was on a
funeral pyre which had ulrciitly been lighted.
'l'lit- llatiies were extinguished and the indi-

niaii, was less fortunate. lluviiig fallen in a
lethargic tit, he was taken up for dead, his
funeral pile \\'ZL\ erected, the flames were
lighted. and Avioln was placed upon it.
Quickly animation, which had only been sus
pended, was revived by the heat, and he at-
tempted to arise. The spectators, who had

Romans increased the interval between death
and biiiinl, and scrutinised more closely the
signs of dissolution. Custom as well as law
required that after decease the nearest rela
tive should close the eyes of the deceased.
The body was then bathed in warm water.
with the twofold purtxise of rendering it
fitter to be aunointcd with oil. if reallydcad,
or reaniiuating it if the principle of life was
mere] y suspended. Tests were from time to
time applied to see if death had taken place,
and after a variety of ceremonies, which
were continued for seven or eight. days, the
bod )1 was carried to the funeral pile and
burned in the midst of a concourse of relatives
and friends, who marched thrice around the

liicr. in a dissertation upon the uncertainty
of the signs of 410‘ 1th and the danger of pre-
cipitate burials, has ('L'olltttetl one hundred
and eighty cases in which persons still living
were treated as dead. l-‘ifty4two of these
were actually buried alive. four were opened
before death, fifty-three revived spontaneous-
ly. after being placed in their coffins, and
severity-two were supposed to have died
when they really had not.
Such facts as these ought to induce more
caution in the disposition of persons supposed
to be deceased, than is now customary in the
community. The appearance and condition
of the bodies should be more closely observ-
ed, and a longer delay in burial practiced.
The idea of awakening to consciousness
after burial, is a horrid one to every mind,
end the reality must be terrible.

Maxims for Young Girls.
.\'ever make your appearance in the morn-
ing without having:r first bathed, if only with
a sponge and a quart of water, brushed and
arranged your Lair, and dressed yourself
neatly and completely.
Keep your clothing, especially your under
clothing, in perfect order. Never let pins
do duty as buttons, or strings take the place
of proper bands.
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
with tit-atticss and precision. Do not. sew
up ti: 4‘ holes in your stockings, as we have
seen some Lurelcss untidy girls do, but take
in a broad margin around the hole, be it
small or large, with a fine daming needle
and claiming cotton, and cover the fracture
with an interlaced stieth. so close as to be as
strong as the body of the stocking, and fine
enough to be ornamental.
Stockings mended in this way need darn-
ing but a very few times in the course of
their existence.
Never carry course embroidered or Lace
handkerchicfs. Fine plain ones are much
more ladylike.
Avoid open-worked stockings and very
fancy slippers. Fine plain white hose and
black kid slippers, with only a strap or ro-
sette in front, are becoming. .
Train yourself to useful occupation.;{e-
member it is wicked to waste time, and noth-
ing gives such an impremion of vanity and
absolute silliness as a habit of idiing,and
never having anything to do.
If you are in your father's houses—take
some department of household labor upon
yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make
it your business to attend to it. Do not let a

BASIS u or SHEEP.
Business was introduced by the reading of
a letter from Gibson Blims, of Red Stone,
Pa, asking instruction “ concerning the treat)
nicnt fattening sheep should have during the
winter months." Is it better to confine them
to yards and shelter, or give them a field in
connection with the shelter, and allow them
to graze at large ‘3 He has practiced the lat-
ter method for some ten years, always on-
deavoring to have a good coat of grass on
the field, and he thinks he thus saves largely
in rough feed, yet the increase is small dur~
ing the cold weather. “The past fall," he
continued, “ I had concluded to pen my
flocks to feed for April market, when I saw
that “'arren Leland didn't pen his geese,
then why should I pen my wethcrs; for all
grandmothers penned and stuffed geese,
while few penned and fed sheep. And
“'iirren Leland is held up as high authority,
while our grandmother‘s methods are ‘ gone
where the woodbine twineth.‘ But what I
wish to know is, whether any of your cor-
respondents have tried the two methods, and
are able to give definite results 2’ John John-
ston gives the yarding proceSs, but does not
say that he ever tried the other. The meat
question is a very important one, and all the
light that can be thrown on it will be gladly
received."
H. L. Reade—It is a theory long since es-
tablished that all physiuil action involves
loss in the food that is taken into the stom-
ach. It must therefore be settled that the
less excercize animals have while they are
fattening. which is not. incompatible with
good lu’illlll, the better. Sheep should there—
fore be kept in dry stables, having ready ac-
('4'.\\ to pure water, and, if fed with abunL
diint and proper food, they will do best. If
they are allowed to rumble they will get but
little food from the sure earth, and that little
will in no sense compensate for the loss
which the travel for it involves.
F. D. Curtis—l agree with Brother Reade
most emphatically. One of the best sheep
raisen in lllt’ country found by experiment
that the portion of his flock kept on the sec-
ond floor of a shed fzittcncd fastest, for the
reason that they didn't waste carbon in extir-
t'isc Or in keeping the cold away.
N. C. Ely—I was just thinking how well
this principle was illustrated in the person of
our esteemed secretary. When he was a
lively youngster of, say six-and-twcnty, he
had that loan and hungry look which Catsar
speaks of; now—after years of quiet quar-
ters and fat feed—lie is,as you see, the heav-
iest gentleman here. I should place his av-
oirdiipois at 2400 pounds at. least.
WORTH or WISE PLANT.
A correspondent would like to know, also,
about. the rhubarb wine which continues to be
puffed in certain quarters, and what is its
value.
J. V. Smith—It has been dectded that the
juice of rhubarb is not wine. It may have
some qualities as a cordial, and a physician
might possibly prescribe it where there was
necessity for extract of that plant.
11‘. I). Curtis—It is a humbug from begin
ning to end. It don't make wine as Dr. Smith
says, but a decoction, which, though possibly
eiiliveniin.r at the time, is deadening after-
wards. A little alcohol is just as good.
N. C. Ely—Or just as bad.
A. S. Fuller—All sensible people know the
wine-plant sensation is an exploded humbug,
and those who continue to be sold are those
who don't raid the papers.
