A Street Incident In Chicago. The children of the Blrect are a dirty, noisy, intrusive and generally disagreeable race. They come upon you in every part of this wide city, especially on the South Side, springing up under your feet, dart ing arountf corners and shouting after you fnuti obscure doorways. They are always wanting to sell you a newspaper or to black vour boots or to beguile a stray nickel" from your pocket by treating you to execrable music from a dilapidated Tiolin or harp. If their faces were less liegrimed with dirt and wore loss of a hardened, reckless look your sympathy might be oftener excited ; but, h is you only pass on, muttering disapprobation of the authorities who permit these little wretches to cross your path. If, however, one but knew their lives and the ircum Ftances of misery, degradation and suf fering which inclose them how full an excuse might le found for all the hardness of their f;we and manner! Anselmo was one of the street waifs. Under eipht years of age, ragged, un kempt and uncared-for, he was forced to walk the streets till late at night with a violin, upon which he could badly exe cute a few pimple airs. Frequenters of billiard halls, hotel offices and saloons will recall his sullen, brown "fare and down cast eyes as he punished his violin to the vexation of bystanders. One could almost believe, in Matching his moody expres sion, that every spark of human feeling which might once have found a dwelling in his soul had 1een extinguished. This neglected child of the street and slave of a harsh padrone has had an epi sode. Last Saturday, as he was shivering on a corner of Madison street and elicit ing mournful tones from his battered fid dle, he broke oir suddenly and da.-hcd across the street, crying: "Fad er-r-r," ending in a prolonged whoop. A man and woman, poorly dressed, and bearing several bags and bundles, stopped ou hearing the cry, dropped their bundles simultaneously, and hugged the ugly little boy until it seemed as if there could be very little breath left in him, and all the while jabbering away excitedly in the Italian tongue. And so it happened that the wretched litt'e outcast found his parents whom he had left two years ago in the far-oil" South era clime. Passers-by stopped and won dered at this strange scene. And soon the party went on, each holding little Anselmo by the hand, and the child was no longer a scowling, ugly ragamuffin, but a happy, eager, hopeful boy,leforc whom lay no longer a dark, miserable life amid the slums of crime and degradation. What a sudden change, good people all! Chicago Tribune. Lifting Effects of Earthquake?. Another feature of these phenomena is the upheaval of the ground observed dur ing the prevalence of most earthquakes, which is one cause of the sea retiring, an other being the suction of the approach ing wave when the center of the convul sion has lx-en removed from the shore. During the great earthquake at Lisbon the bar at the mouth of the Tagus was laid bare by the upheaval, and the master of a vessel lying in that river at the time stated that his large anchor was thrown up from the bottom and seemed to swim on the surface of the water. Other results of the upward movemeutduring this catas trophe were observed elsewhere. The water in a pond at Dunstal, in Suffolk, was jerked up into the form of a pyramid. At some places the water was tossed out of the wells. At Loch Lomond a large stone was forced out of the water. Hocks were raised into the air from the bottom of the Atlantic, and on board a vessel alxmt forty leagues from the island of St. Vin cent, in the "West Indies, the anchors, which were lashed, bounced up, and the sailors were thrown a foot and a half per pendicular from the deck, the ship sinking into the water immediately afterward as low as the main-chains. At Riobamba, in South America, on the 5th of January, 1717, the bodies of many of the inhabitants were thrown, by this vertical action, upon the hill of La Cullca, w hich is several hundred feet high, and on the opposite side of the river. During some of these convulsions in Italy paving-stones have leen tossed into the air and found with their lower sides uppermost; and at the time of a late convulsion in South Ameri ca the rising of the ground caused tire sea to retire, which returned like a wall in ap pearance, carrying before it inland vessels that had only a few minutes before been left dry, towns and people being over whelmed by the resistless recoil. Prof. Jjite, in Pvjmlar Science Monthly for Octo ler. m m The Thresher Shark. There is at present on exhibition at the Manchester (England) Aquarium a mem ber of the shark tribe with which lands men have but seldom the opportunity of making an acquaintance, except perhaps as a preserved specimen in a museum. This is an example of the thresher or fox shark (ab'pecias culpes), one of the greatest tyrants of the ocean, before whom the mighty leviathan himself quails and seeks in vain respite from persecution. The terrible weapon ot otlense with which this fish is enabled to hold so high a position among other inhabitants of the deep so vastly superior to him in size consists, not in tlie armature of the mouth, but in the extraordinary length and remarkable formation of the tail. This organ in the thresher shark equals or even exceeds the total length of the creature's body, and is, at the same time, being constructed of the upper loin; alone, remarkably thin and strap-shaped. To this is added a tough ness and flexibility akin to that of a whale bone or tauned leather, and which, taken with its scythe-like curvature, renders it almost as efficient in action to its possessor as a satxT in the hands of a skillfulwords man. The usual length of these threshers or fox sharks is only twelve feet, and yet a 1air of these have been seen to attack and will a whale sixty or seventy feet in length, pie contest lasting many hours, and the larger animal succumbing al last through sheer exhaustion and the loss of blood con sequent upon the terrible wounds dealt to it by its comparatively puny yet merciless assailants. Jfot Trctty but Good. The following story is told of the Duch ess de Herri : She was extremely fond of Dieppe, and passed a great deal of her time there in summer; indeed, it is said that the town owes to her fostering patron age the establishment of the workshops for the production of those exquisite ivory carvings which are well known to every stranger that ever tarried at Dieppe. One summer evenine a fisherman met a plainly dressed lady walking alone on the beach, lie ventured to accost her, saying that he had a petition which he wished to present to the Duchess de Eerri, but that he did not know how to proceed in order to do so. "Did you ever see the Duchess?" asked the lady. " To," was the answer, " but I am told that she is deuced utily." 44 Give me the petition, at all events," said his questioner, "and it shall be placed in the hands of the Princess her self." The fisherman complied with the request, and a few days later he was sum moned to the villa of "the Duchess. What was his dismay, on leing introduced to the presence of the lrinccss, to find that she was the person to whom he had given his petition! lie commenced to stammer forth some incoherent excuse, but Marie Caroline interrupted him. 44 Your peti tion is granted," she said, smiling, 44 and henceforth, when people say that the Duchess de Bern has an ugly face, do you add : 4 But she has also a kind heart!

Massachusetts Republican State Flat form. The following are the resolutions relat ing to national affairs adopted by the re cent Republican State Convention of Mas sachusetts: Th Iiepiiblicnns of Mapsnrhtl setts in convention ieiubled reaffirm their alli-iriancc to the preat jnrpore ami priuriplea of the Republican party. They congratulate themselves that nothing in their record tiifkea it nercssarv for them to give pledfcea that they accept and will abide by the etttement of the war lnes made in the Thirteenth. Fonrteenth and Fif teenth amendment to the Constitution of the I Hi ted Statu, and they congratulate the country that the Democratic party has at last formally pro fessed to abandon its hn:. hitter, desperate, but fiiiavailoi?. .trouble, frst to prevent, and after ward to owrthro. that settlement. This profes sion in both tbo uio-t huiiiilintinir confession of past folly ever extorted Irom a joIiticl organiza tion and a signal tribute to tie iiiin;lle rii'ht eoiisnesa of keptihlicau principles. The accusa tion that the re publican p .rty seeks to keep alive old lsues in order to avoid new ones is unwar ranted. Our pnst at leest la secure. Able to re view the record without remorse we cheerfully comn.it it to history, and with courage inspired ly success in a nohfe cause we addsei-s ourselves to the new duties of the via of the nstiou. It is therefore declared: That reform in the civil service is a work which no party can jrlve over or slacken, and for the ele vation and puiflcntion of that service the Itepnb lictin party will continually and faithfully strive, welcoming the co operation of their opponents, in whatever quarter it mny nppear. to the end thrtt everv co-rupt and unworthy officeholder, without distlnclion of party, may lie driven from place, and t hit ofiicial malfeasance may be hunted and punished w herever the pursuit may lead or the blow fall. That the reduction of national expenditure dur ing the last fiscal year by more thnn f 1 J.tsW.ntH, following a constant reduction during the w hole period of the present Administration, is a ratify ing proof of the earnest endn.ivor of the Kepubli can party bv economy, frnijrthtv and fidelity in the public service to lighten the public burden. Th.it the I'resideut of the United States is enti tled to the pratitude of the country for the inde pendence, courage ami pood sense with which, in an urgent crisis of atTuirs, he has assumed the L'reut responsibilities of his ollice and maintained the national honor and credit. That the Kepublic.au party hails with exceeding joy the many evidences of reconciliation in spirit and in purpose, as well as of cace. in fact, which have taken the place of disturbances in the re stored States, and makes haste to testify its anxie ty to meet reconciliation with confidence and every proof of peace with proof of affection anil re Irani.

That the Republican of Massachusetts wel come all auguries and evidences tint the renten tiial of American Independence will he celebrated by a complete restoration of Irntcrnity, and they express the opinion that the time has come for the removal of all remaining political disabili ties. That sound reason as w ell as w ise and unbroken nsaue of the Kepublie. illustrated by the example of Washin.ion, require that the tenure of the chief mai-tra.-y of tho United States should not exceed a second term. That the National Government is sacredly bound in the interest of the common welfare, in cood faith, in the liht of all exjterience and history, to fuhiil its promises by the speediest possible return to specie payment. That an irredeemable currency is a national evil, and wheu it continues beyond tlie necessity of its creation a national reproach, demoralization of values caused bv inflation of the national currency. while it tends to place the earnings of labor, which depend on steadiness and uniformity in the mens me of value, in the power of speculators in Kold and credit, also invones the demoraliza tion of public and private conduct, credit and ex peuditn:e.seciilutiou iu place of thrift, ultimate piostration of trade and industry, risk of increas ing crime and dishonor, and the whole train of cils which follow any departure from the hoiueiy virtue that keeps its word and pays as it goes.

The complete returns from the election will dissipate some errors into which a few commentators upon the Maine elec tion have fallen. It is not true that the Republican majority in this State is tlie smallest which has been given since the party cair.e into power twenty years ago. The majority for Gen. Connor will be about 5,000. In 1802 the Republican ma jority was but 3,770. The next year, how ever, the majority hounded up to 17.52 ; in IStM it was litlsO; in li(Jo it was 22, 7S7; and in lwiC it went up to 27,;s.. Thus the smallest inajoritj' ever given by the Republicans of Maine was in 1802, and that was followed by some of the larg est majorities the party has every achieved. Again, when tlie full vote appears we shall see that there has been no change among the voters. The Democrats have not c;tt so large a vote this year its in some other years. It w ill not "be so large as the vote for Kimball in 1872, or for Pillsbnry in lstiS. They have simply suc ceeded this year, by dint of great effort, secret canvassing, and the free use of money, in getting out to the polls a large share of the voters which belong to their party. Their policy was to steal a march upon the unsuspecting Republicans, in which they have been more successful than they ought to have been. There have been no changes in favor of the Democrats but there has been a failure to bring out the Republican vote, while the Democrats have brought out theirs in pretty full strength. It is a great mistake to attribute the re duction of the Republican majority to a 44 tidal wave" or to any cause that will permanently reduce the Republican ma jority. The Republican majority in years other than th Presidential election year may faiiiv be reckoned at from c,(KKJ to 12.U00. This year it will be 3,000 a re sult not very depressing to Republicans nor one from which well-informed Demo crats can obtain much comfort. The Democrats played a smart gameLnd lost thanks to the Republicans wiro w not caught napping. ivere Their success has thoroughly awakened the Republican party, who now see that twenty years of victories cannot be de pended upon to carry present and future elections and that vigilance and activity must be practiced every year if we would have round Republican majorities.

Its?1" The Mississippi White Lesguers protested against Federal interference with the afliirs of that State, and insisted that the State militia was quite capable of sup pressing disorders. Acting upon the sug-sc.-i-ioii of the President and the Attorney General, Gov. Ames set about organizing the militia, and proposed to equip two regiments, one white and the other black. Ti:is did not accord with Confederate no tions, and in order to prevent the forma tion of colored companies the white liners have obtained an injunction prohibiting the State Auditor from isiuinghis warrant for the payment of any claims arising out of such organization. Upon the heels ot tliis intelligence comes tlie news that a company of 100 Louisiana leaguers, armed and equipped, have arrived in .Mississippi lor the purpose of assisting in the delight ful occupation of huntitig and murdering the helpless blacks.

Ostrich Farming The experiment of farming ostriches foir the purpose of securing a regular and abundant supply of their valuable feath ers is a noveltj in industrial operations, but is nevertheless reported to be a suc cess. The experiment is being tried in South Africa, in the vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope, where tho ostrich is "na tive in th place and to the manner born," and where land of the right sort can be obtained to any extent. Recent files of Cape papers contained an interesting account oi a visit by a correspondent of tho Eastern Province Herald to the flourishing ostrich farm of Messrs. Ilcugh & Meinjcs at the foot of the mountains. A large eteDl of suitable brush land is fenced in over which the birds roam peaceably enough in ordinary limes, but in tlie breeding sea son the pairs select and occupy one of the several small camps laid out for the pur pose. The birds are very fierce and sav age at this period, but at all other times are as tame as a flock of sheep. They as semble to be fed at bugle call, though the feeders have to be careful of any loose ar ticles there may be about, forthe ostriches enaij up and swallow immediately any such trifles as tobacco-pipes, knives, spoons, coins, etc., and make attempts to wrench oil" buttons from boots and clothing, and are not particular as to watche3 and chains if they can secure them. The plucking of tlie birds is a dangerous operation. They are enticed by tho bugle-call into a small inclosure, where they are packed as closely as possible to prevent them from administering those terrible kicks to the pluekersof which they are capable, and which are delivered with a force suflicieut to break a man's thigh. The plumage of the farmed ostrich is stated to be abun dant in quantity and superior in quality, and the yield from a well-stocked and carefully-tended farm returns a large profit on thawhole outlay. Several farms have already been established, and more are being laid out, and this new branch of in dustry seems to be in a most flourishing condition and promises great expansion. London Globe. The Trite Tlace or Language. Language is the implement of thought, and it would seem that no study of this implement can give the best training for studying the thought itself or the reality that lies back of the thought. It is prob able that the highest efforts of the mind, those efforts in which new truths have Hashed out, then vanished, then returned again, until the investigator has finally made them his own, have been made with out the aid of language. Language is a medium between man and man, not neces sarily between man and nature. Thoughts which come to us through language must come to us at second-hand. Language, being the medium of thought, cannot pre cetle thought Not that the study of language, when pursued in relation to the thought, is of little value; but the folly is iu the pro longed study of a language which, with rare exceptions, can never be a highway of knowledge nor a medium of thought. What is the value of words Words mean the same to those persons only who have had the same experiences. ords do not convey ideas; they suggest them. AVhen a word is spoken the hearer is at first con scious of sound. If he has been accustomed to associate the spoken word with some idea, the mind instantly represents the idea. If the experience of both speaker and hearer has been the same, the word has the same meaning to each. In the mind of the speaker the idea sug gests the word; in tlie mind of the hearer the word suggests the idea. No word ever explains any sensation, pleasant or painful, to one who has never felt the sen sation. By aid of the imagination we may, to an extent, give meaning to lan guage that does not directly appeal to ex perience; but the imagination can do nothing more than recombine materials that have been furnished by experience, so that directly or indirectly words derive their meaning from experience; and words have a common meaning because they suggest ideas of a common experi ence. From " Mental Discipline in Edu cation," in Popular Science Monthly for October. llorr to Tet Canaries. Says a writer on canaries : " In this way I answer the question of 'how I had such luck with birds.' Simply by allowing the birds to attend to their own affairs, and by letting them understand their mistresses would never harm theul. Also, by accus toming them to plenty of light and air and company rather than, as commended in books, keeping the cage in a dark room for fear of frightening the birds. Make just half the fuss directed in bird books over the matter and 3 0U will have double the success in raising birds. Never give them sugar, but all the red pepper they will eat. It is the best thing for them. And if your bird feels hoarse at any time put a piece of fat salt pork in the cage, and see how the little fellow will enjoy it, and listen for the result. Give him flax-seed once in a while, and if he appear dumpy occasionally give a diet of bread and water, with red pepper sprinkled in. Open the cage door and give your pets the free dom of the room; soon they will come at your call and fly to meet you whenever your voice is heard. I had one who came regularly to my desk as I sat writing .each day, ami disputed with fluttering wings and open beak my humble right to the inkstand. And when I had reasoned him out of his mistaken notion he would perch himself on my pen-handle (no very comfortable proceeding for me) anil watch gravely as I wrote. I have many a time also discovered him in the act of eating off the corners of my paper, even to the title of my article. Another thought nothing of trotting about on my head and shoulders, and even hopped under my throat to nestle against my chin. He would take his bath as I held the cup in my hand, and coolly dry himself on my he ail. Another would fly down or up stairs to me whenever I called him, and many a time when I have been out he has wel comed my return by flying down the stairs and singing at the top of his voice all the while, until, at last, perched nmy shoulder, he would accompany me to my room " The Feminine Salutation. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: What the average man has to endure in the way of senseless and indiscriminate introductions that are of no benefit to either himself or the other man is dread ful enough, but it is nothing to what the poor, persecuted women have to put up with from one another. When man meets man, if there is a third man along, an in troduction follows. When woman meets woman, and the two happen to know each other, there is osculation ; and this oscula tion is generally about a thousand times worse than the most necessary and uncalled-for introduction. If the two women happen to hate each oilier the smack is louder and the accompanying hypocrisy much more demonstrative than when the opposite feeling predominates. Each is disgusted and each despises the other just a little more, if that is possible. Some times women meet who are really moved by reciprocal affection, but even then there is a U ilie of hypocrisy in the kiss that fol lows, and they undoubtedly feel that it migut just as well be omitted in the fu ture, if a few independent feminine spirits would only strike out and begin the re form. There is no reason to suppose that the kisses of women for women are any more agreeable than the kisses of men lor men; yet where is the American who would hesitate between a bloody homicide and a kiss from one of his own sex? The honest woman who one day completely lost control of her temper and blurted out: "Mrs. Smacker, I hact as lief you would spit in my face as to kiss me there, now!" was only giving vent to an indiguation built up by years of perse cution, and many of her sisters secretly approved of the explosion. They do not run to kerosene and buzz saws much in Minnesota, but it may be stated that the earnest tlireshing-machine is attending strictly to business and get ting away with a good many legs and arms.

Detroit Free 1'ress. Yon crystallizing grasses, take a quart of soft water and eighteen ounces of pure alum. Boil it slowly in a close tin vessel, stirring occasionally with a clean stick, until the alum is all dissolved. When the liquor is almost cold suspend the grasses to be crystallized by a string from a stick laid across the mouth ot a jar of earthen ware, or glass, into which pour the solu tion. The grasses should remain thus for twenty-four hours, and then be taken out and hung in the shade to dry. If the so lution is quite cold the crystals will form too large ; if too hot, they will be too small. The best temperature is 93 dcg. Fahrenheit. Canned meats are becoming an exten sive article of commerce, also canned fish of all kinds. The latter are to be found in the groceries cf all our villages. The canning of meats is a late undertaking and promises to become general. We vent ure the prediction that the old method of preparing meats with salt will, ere long, be abandoned for some process of canning. Salt meats are objectionable for many, and for the best of reasons, while there are none at all to the known methods of pre serving by excluding the air. Farmers may be slow to believe that they are to give up the old pork-barrel, the laying down of the fat sides to be drawn upon for the year to come, but they may find it to their profit, comfort and health to do so. Detroit Tribune. How to Keep riants from Year to Year. One of our subscrilcrs propounds this question, without stating what kind3 of plants she desires to keep over. We pre sume, however, that she means such plants as are known as bedding-out plants, orthose which are grown in pots during tlie winter season, and planted out in May or June for summer blooming. Annuals, or plants which naturally live but one year, cannot, of course, be kept over; only those which are perennial can be thus treated, and many 6T these are bulbs, with which we will liegin our instruction. The time for taking these up is directly after the first frost has killed the tops, choosing a bright, sunny day to do so; after they are taken up leave them exposed to the sun and wind to dry them until evening; shake of! any soil that may re main on them and place them where there is no danger of their becoming frosted during the night, exposing them the next day again to sun and air, and repeating the operation for three or four days, but carefully avoiding their getting the least frosted ; or they may be placed on the floor of a light, airy room for a week. The bulbs of the tuberose never flower the second time, therefore those which have bloomed may as well be thrown away at once, but take oft the offsets or young bulbs for planting next year. They will not bloom the first year, but must be grown in beds by themselves one season to make blooming bulbs for the next year; hence the florists always have a large stock of them coming forward in this way. Tuberose roots must be kept in a dry, warm room ; if kept in a cold, damp cellar, although they may not be frosted, yet the flower stem formed in the bulb will be destroyed. Tiger-flowers and cal adiums require the same treatment, but should not be kept quite so warm ; they must, however, be kept perfectly dry, or they will mold and decay. Gladioluses, after being well dried, may be put in bas kets and hung up in a dry cellar free from frost ; they are the better for not be ing kept too warm and dry. Dahlias, cannas (Indian shot), and eryth-nas can be kept in a cool cellar free from frost, being careful not to pile them up one on the other. The last two should not have the earth much shaken off them, and should have some dry moss packed round them to prevent them over-drying. Never use straw, hay or any material liable to mold for this purpose. Scarlet and zonale geraniums may be taken up after tlie first white frost, the soft shoots pruned back to firm wood and the earth all shaken oft" the roots ; the plants arc to be tied up in bunches of two, three or four plants each, according to size, the roots enveloped in dried moss neatly tied on, and then hung up, tops downward, on nails driven into the wTalls or beams of the cellar. They will keep in this way until spring, and w hen planted out will bloom earlier and more freely than young plants which have been grown in the green-house all winter. Or they may be taken up from the middle to the end of September, potted, and kept as house-plants during the winter. lioe scentcd, nutmeg-scented, or any othwr shrubby pelargoniums, or geraniums, as they are called, should be taken up at the same time, potted, and kept as house plants. Bouvardias, liegonias, heliotropes, ageratums, vincas, callas, double petunias, alternantheras, fuchsias, sedums and eche verias should be taken up ana potted be fore the middle of September. Verbenas, carnations, abutilons, lantanas, feverfews, artemisias, Neapolitan violets and roses maj be left out until the first week in Octo ber, when they also must be taken up and potted, the roses being kept in a cool cel lar until February or March, when they may be brought into the 6itting-room. Lemon verbenas may also be left out un til October; when taken up cut off all the unripe wood, and.when potted, keep them in a cool cellar. They are deciduous and will lose their leaves in w inter under any treatment. Salvias, coleus and achyranthes are so tender that as a general rule it is hardly worth while to take them up. It is better to make some cuttings of them early in September and keep them in the cutting pots in a warm room until spring, keeping them rather dry during the winter. After tlie plants are taken up and potted they should be placed in a cold frame under sashes, shading them from ten o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the evening, giving air during the night if it is not frosty and keeping them in the frame until the increasing chilliness of the atmosphere makes it necessary to bring them into the house. While in the frame they should be moderately watered and occasionally sprinkled overhead, the object being to keep them in a moist at mosphere until tbey make fresh roots; but they must not be kept so moist and close as to cause damping off or moldiness. All shrubby plants, such as fuchsias, lan tanas and abutilons, should be pruned back somewhat; but any green-house hard-wooded plants, such as camellias, azaleas, oranges, etc., must be left un pruned, as, if cut back, the flowering wood would be destroyed. If the con venience of a cold frame is not to be had the plants should, when potted, be placed in the shade of a fence or of the house for two or three weeks until they make fresh roots. Under the shade of trees is not a very suitable place for them, as the wind, which at that season of tlie year is apt to be drying, draws through. under the trees and causes the plants to wilt toci much.. . We have supposed that our subscriber has not the luxury of a small green-house and have therefore given our advice so as to enable her to keep tlie plants in a dwelling-house. But in no instance should tlie temperature be above fifty de grees at night or below forty-five degrees, allowing an additional ten or fittecn de grees during the day according as the day is bright or not, always remembering that neither much heat nor moisture must be given in the absence of light. This is one of the principal secrets in the success ful crowing of plants. A the days lengthen, atld consequently there is more sunlight, the heat and mMsttlrfe may be increased. When plants in a dormant state, such as lemon verbena, pomegran ates, lagcrstrccmia, etc., are wintered in. a cellar, they should be kept in the dark, and but very little water supplied, as they arc only kept or ought to be kept in a temperature of thirty-five or thirty-eight degrees. Harper's Bazar. The Blaze on the Hearth. TnEttE is no good reason why we should keep this excellent genius of good cheer in banishment until the winter w inds compel his appearance, lie is as competent to cheer our hearts on a cool September night as in a December snow storm. There is wonderful brightness, and glow, and spar kle, and exultation In his companionship, and never more warmth than we choose to permit. Even a few snapping twigs PrJ the old andirons are sufficient to show us the imp in his happy moods, to scatter the dull cloud that rests upon our rooms aud in our hearts, and to awaken a hun dred tileasurable sensations. All those benighted roof-trees that harbor no hearth stone, no fireplace where the delightful sprite may disport himself, are to be greatly pitied, indeed; for these house holds there is no remedy we can suggest for the melancholy days all their days, indeed, are in gloom and cloud; but wherever the hearthstone is still cherished for all its delights and associations let the blaze be lighted at once, aud sec how quickly it will transform gloom into brightness and charm. And there is a reason other than that of good cheer why it is well to invoke this sprite with the coming of the first chill airs. Health is promoted thereby. The blaze is a deadly enemy to damp, and ague, and fever. It gives sweetness and purity to the atmosphere; it kills miasma and the poisons that the air sucks up with the beginning of the decay of vegetation. There is no ijlttcr preventive of sickness at this season than a good wood-fire. It would be well if one could be lighted in every room; if this is impracticable, the living-room at least ought to be made bright, cheerful, warm, dry and healthful ly tie magic of a blaze on the hearth. Appletons' Journal. A kem An KAiiLK case of somnambulism occurred at Greenville, Ga., recently. A negro boy, about fourteen years old, who had assisted in taking a bee tree and hiv ing the bees, in a piece of woods some mile or more from home, got up In his sleepduring the night, and, going to where the liive had been left, shouldered it and brought it to the house without waking, having crossed several deep gullies and three fen-rail fences.

The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially i"n tlie morniug. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load ou the stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa tion at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clam- 1 my. Alter awhile a cough sets in, at hrst ary, dih alter a lew montiis it 19 attended with greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all tlie while, and sleep does not appear to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling "sensation in the head when rising up suddenly- The bowels become costive, the 6kin is dry and hot at times. The blood becomes thick and stagnant, the whites of the eyes become tinned with yellow, the urine is scanty and hiuh-eolorcu, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spittin;; up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart. The vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of great prostrntion and. weakness. All of these symptoms do not make their appear ance at one time, but during the various stages they are in turn present. It is ttumght that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found tbat medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Borne have treated it for liver complaint, some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis ease, etc., etc., but none of these various kinds of treatment have been attended with success. It is found, however, that the Shaker Extract of Roots (not a patent medicine), when prepared properly, will re move the disease in all its stages. Care should be taken to procure a good article.

M every resort this summer, from the crowded mountain hotel to the tent on the beach, whatever else was wanting, there was always to be found the inevitable baby, with its retainers, the mother in the chief place of servitude. It was not by any means, as she supposed, regarded by the rest of the lioarders as a boon, a some-" thing dropped from heavenly places. There were growling and sweariug enough in the other rooms when it shrieked all nKht with colic, and the interest of the ol3 bachelors in its teething or pink toes was not half so fervent as she fondly imag ined. Yet they, with everybody else, crowded about her when she came out on the porch with it in the morning. She was a homely little woman, and the baby little else than a long sweep of muslin drapery, with around bald head atop; but there was a something in her face as hc looked at it which drew every passer by nearer and warmed his heart, just as a ,aessa"e from his own home would have rt.me or a glimpse of the great mountains, 5 iSdcn stirring song. It was the old nicVure o.'

Into whatever wrecks life may fall for her in the future, he ia .certain a rock to build upon, no sandy lo"iacmllon- We all knew her a year or two ago, laughed at her, perhaps. She was Poiv then, wooed by Bassanio or John, listen ing to Colin's btory of love over the barn yard gate. We laughed at her; but there was a pathetic break in our laughter, after all a remembrance that something which was very real and ennobling to this girl and her lover had once been ennobling and real to us, aud was now but a fantas tic, silly dream. Like "all mankind," we loved a lover for the sake of what we ourselves had lost; we jested with the girl, perhaps, but tenderly. Since she was a baby she never had scorned to need care so much, to be so worthy of rever ence. We knew that her lover was no Basdanio or Colin; but a very ordinary, dull young fellow, and not at all the ideal paragon before whom she abased herself and worshiped, and we knew that some day she would be forced to look at him through our eyes.
