Otamlitn' Journal. DEAR BOY. Fatjiek had gono over to the next township to a committee meeting, and had taken mother with him, so Dorcas and I had the whole care of Mabel, a pleasure that did not often fall to us. She was sitting in her little rocker, with the white kitten in her lap and one lit tle red cheek pressed against niv knee, as she looked in my face while I read. Dorcas was sewing as usual, but more interested in the reading than Mabel, who could not understand a , word. Dorcas was twelve, and had never read Jane Evre, and I was tired of telling her tho story in half through tho suatches. We were book. and as I read to the passage where sho comes to St John's door, Dorcas laid her work down to listen. I had reached the cli max where the old servant closes tho door upon her, and St John appears on tho scene and speaks as one having authority. At this supremo moment there came a sudden, loud and peculiar knock at the door, so close to me that I involun tarily caught Mabel, while Dorcas seized a chair and stood in a pugilistic attitude, with a face as white as snow. I was tho first to rally I am nineteen for I felt that the homo was left in ray care, so I roused tip old Susan, who was asleep in tho kitchen, and wc asked cautiously through tho panels who was there, but received no answer but a low moan, and I felt sure it was some ono in distress, so I opened the door, a little bit at a time, and at last looked out but could see nothing. Who or what speaks?" I asked, ter rified at tho unexpected sound, and incapable now of deriving from any occurrence a hope of aid. A form was near what form, the pitch-dark night and my enfeebled vision prevented me iroin aisiinguisning. wun niouu, long knock tho new-comer appealed to ! tho door. Tho whirled the dead leaves in great heaps and sifted them over tho door.stop; there was a mound of them lying there, and under it something stirred. My heart gavo a great bound. " Bring the light, Susan!" Old Susan brought tho light, shading it with her hand. I stooped, tremblins all over, and touched something; it gave a moan and sat up! It was only a boy, after all; a poor, sick, wasted, small bo', that seemed to bo starving. Wc carried him into the house, and tried to make him talk, but he did not seem to understand what wo said, and moaned and cried as if in great pain. "What shall wo do with him?" I asked, in despair. " I do wish father would como, ho will have to stay all night now, so you may as well put'him in the little room, Susan, and make him comfortable, poor little fellow!" He was such a pretty boy, even in rags and sickness; he was so thin that his bones actually seemed worn through, and his great black ej'csstared frightfully; ho was too sick to hold his heiw up," and Susan carried him into tho little corner room and undressed him as sho would a babv, while Mabel stood by the door and said "pittyboj'," in her s'mnll bird-like voice. When fathcrmd mother came home wc met them at the door, and Dorcas and I both tried to tell the story at tho same time. "Well," said father, sternly, "as I understand it you have taken in a lazy tramp, who. when we arc all fastasleen. will get up and let his friends in to rob and murder.". Mother had disappeared in tho bed room. Now she came out and said: "He is very ill, indeed, Jephtha. It would not surprise mc if he died be fore morning. Ho is burning up with fever." "Small-pox, most likely," observed father. "Maybe its diphtheria," cried moth er, in alarm. "Oh, girls! how could vou? .Tnat think of Mabel!" "bhould we have left him out there to die?" asked Dorcas. "Tain'r. nothing but a cold," said old Susan. "He'sonl' starved to death; besides, you hain't no need to fear. Some yarb tea and a night's rest 'ill fetch him 'round all right" Ho had tho "3'arb" tea and many a long night's rest, but he never was any better; as Susan would saw "Nothin' but starvin' did it;" but he had starved a little too long. Nature did not reas sert herself, and "Bov," as we all called him. could not take hold again of the life he had so nearly dropped. "It ain't in him," said old Susan, "'pears like he gets whiter and whiter every day." At first, while he seemed like a sick boy-tramp, we all kept away from him, except mother, who took tho best of oaro of him; then one by one we drift ed in to see how he was getting alonf, and at last the little corner bed-room ""was our general rendezvous, and Boy sitting up, white and wasted, its center of attraction. Wo Tinow from the first he would neverget well, and wo tried to find his friends, but he seemed to be alone in the world. This much we could seo for ourselves, he was of gen- tie blood, and had been used to homo care, but he spoke a foreign tonmie and but little of that All day he would sit bolstered up, and play with wan fingers with Mabel's toys, and when we found his sickness5 was not contagious we used to put our darling on the little bed, where she would sit and talk to him in - her baby lingo by the hour. Sho is snch a happy, child, it seemed as if she charmed pain away with her cooing ba by .fondness. The first thing in the orningitwas "boy" or "pittyboy" and. the last hour of her bedtime -when she "would kneel with his thin hand in heroft curls and say her little make believe. prayer that wo taught her, she would lisp " dear boy." C But there iame a night when Boy seemed loth to have her go and clang to the little dimpled hand, and kissed it tvith pale, cold" lips, and then she threw both little arms about his neck, and in her jiretty, beseeching tone, said, "By-by, dear boy." It was her first whole sentence, and we were so proud, and she was to say it again to himthe first thing in the. morning, bnt when we took her in to see " dear boy," "He had gone homo at evening And found itsfiornlug there" Poor Mabel! she'did not kaow (do wc any of us kuow? what had changed her littlejmiiling friend, who always reached out p'ad hand to her, into that death-white marble, and she looked at it wondcringiy, with unrcc oTii7.ing eyes, l)ut when wo took hira away M looked on sadly, and no swectcr'hymn was sung for him than her softly-murmured " IJy-by, dear boy," as she watched them bear hira away. e buried him in our own lot in ths cemetery bclh'sh kindness because Mabel loved him s . and over his grave we raised a simple memorial; no name, no age. only this: Ily-liy.

Fashion, that stern task-mistress, that Moloch to whom so many children have been sacrificed in bygone (lays, for once asserted her iuMucncc on the side of common sense when she decreed that their necks, arms and legs should be protect vd by proper clothing. A few Vfi:ir.s :un it w:is nnt -in ntwmmiirm - -- - . 0- .. ' sight to see a mother warmly drc-'sed, in thick woolen, fur-t rimmed garments, leading by the hand a child daintily ar- ( rayed in a short frock w ith a least lvr i inches of its poor little le j-s uncovered between the edge of its drawers and the top of its tiny white socks: or in doors to sco plump necks and rounded arms exposed to an atmosphere which adults could meet only when swathed to neck and wrists. Happily this ab surd custom is a thing of the past, and one can only trust it never may bo re vived. The error now is rather in the other extreme. While children should be warmly dressed, particularly when going into the open air, care should be taken not to overload them with cloth ing. The sweat glands are very active in 3'outh, and if over-stimulated by heat, become intlamed, producing heat rash. Light woolen materials should bo used in winter and colors selected that will wash when necessary. Tho gar ments should bo so made as not to im pede the freest use of the limbs. Healthy children require a great deal of exorcise, and should be encouraged to i play vigorously and shout lustily for some time every morning in the open air. They will ho much more ready to play quietly in tho nursery dnringtho remainder of the dav than if they h id ocen taKen torn decorous war., which is simplv useless- :n etercise for the young muscles -that need strong' honing and dcvclop.ng. if per.ecilv ucll they should be j-ent out in ail weather, ex cept when it is absolutely raining. Then they should have on part of their out door clothing, be sant into a room where the windows aro open, and made to play tag, puss-in-the-corncr, or any active indoor game, for half an hour or more. Nothing is so fatal to children as bad ventilation. Their bed-room windows should invariably bo open at night; if there is any fear of a draught a light frame mado to lit the window with ilanncl tacked on each, side of it will admit fresh air and obviate the difficulty. No garment that has been worn dur ing the day should be suffered to re main on during tho night. A cotton night-dress is all that is necessary in summer. In winter, or if the child has a delicate chest, or is subject to croup, a scarlet flannel jacket may be added. Children should be thoroughly bathed from head to foot everj morning in cold or. tepid water. Nothing does more to promote a healthy action of tho skin and make the complexion clear and fresh than thorough daily ablutions. The greatest attention should be paid to the care of tho teeth. Until a child is old enough to use a brush they should bo washed with a soft rag dipped iucool water at least twice a da. The hair should bo well brushed with a soft bmsh and never touched with a fine comb, which, as well as a stiff brush, causes disease of the scalp. It should be cleansed bj- washing in warm water to which a little borax lias been added, with nlentv of white soap. and thor- oughly rinsing with clear water. The hair grows from the head, so cutting the ends can do no possible good. If it splits at the ends it is owing to a de ficiency of natural oil, and may bo rem edied by using a little sweet bil. It is a popular fallacy that tho extreme growth of hair tends to weaken tho system. If it is cut nature will produce fresh hair more quickly, thus increas ing instead of lessening the strain on tho productive powers. Children require plenty of healthful, substantial, nourishing "food; thev not only have to repair tho daily waste of the'system but also to create new bone and muscle every day. An infant should have food at first once in two hours during the day and four at night. When older, once in four hours will be sufficient Young children should have a bowl of bread aniLmilk, or at least a cup of milk, on first waking in the morning, if any length of time elapses between theif rising and tho regular breakfast They can be taught to like almost anything if its use is begun suffi ciently early. Oatmeal porridge is an excellent article of diet; it may be varied by hominy, boiled rico, porridge of white or yellow Indian meal, etc. Soft-boiled eggs aro also good. Tender, juicy, broiled beefsteak "and roast heel or roast mutton are better than lamb or veal, as they contain more nutriment Vyell-mado soups and broths and fresh vegetables aro never out of place. Sim ple puddings should be substituted for pastry, which children never should be allowed to touch. The supper should consist of bread and milk, or bread and butter. With a slice of plain cake. Tea and coffee had better bo dispensed with until eighteen or twenty. The good effect of going without them will be seen in a healthy nervous system. Ripo fruit may always bo eaten with impuni ty by a child who is perfectly well. The earlier in tho day is is taken tho better. As little sugar and cream as possible should bo used with it It is needless to say that the consumption of candy is more honored in the breach than in the observance. This may seem diet of more than ISpartan simplicity to man van indulgent moiner; duc it she .wul banish hot bread," fried meat, tea. coffee and pastry from her children's bill of fare their rosy cheeks, firm limbs and perfect digestions will give her no cause to re gret her decision.

I can't nee anything wonderful about it. All it can do is to cry and pull hair and kick. It hasn't half the sense of ray dog, and it can't even chase a cat. Mother and Sao wouldn't have a dog in the house, but they are always going on about tho baby and saying "ain't it perfectly awed!" The worst thing about a baby is that you're expected to take care of him, and then you get acohicJ afterward, rolkssav "Here Jimmy! ju hold the baby a minute, that's a good bov." and then as soon as you have got It they say "Uon t do that my goodness gracious the boy will kill the child hold it up straight you good-for-nothing little wretch." It is pretty hard to do your I'lVtV. - .v '. jw. handy to keep him quiet. It happened to no a oottlo ot frencn polish witn a sponge in it on the end ot" a wire that ' Sue uses to black her shoes, because girls are too lazy to use a regular black- . ing-oriisn. The baby stopped crying as soon as I IM best and then bo scolded for It, but f ness reacts upon the speaker s j-elf-ro-that's the way boys are treated. Per- j spect.

So I hurried up and gavo it a good coat of black. You should have seen how that baby shined! Tho polish dried just as soon as it was put on, and I had just time to get the baby dressed again when mother and Sue came in. I wouldn't lower myself to repeat their unkind language." When you've been called a murdering little villain and an unnatural son it will wrinkle in 3our heart for ages. After what they said to mo I didn't even seem to mind about father, but went up stairs with him almost as if I was going to church or something that wouldn't hurt much. The baby is beautiful and shiny, though the doctor says it will wear oil in a few years. Nobody shows any gratitude for all the trouble I took, and I can toll you it isn't easy to black a baby without gelt'ng it into his eyes and hair. I sometimes think that it is hardly worth while to live in this cold and unfeeling world. "Jimmy Brown" in Harper's Youny People. m m Stop tho Leak. The handful of men that escaped through tho air-lock at the Hudson River Tunnel a few weeks since, un willingly leaving a score of comrades to a terrible death, reported that tho leak was known, and thoy did their best to stop it, but it was too late. These leaks were common enough, indeed, were every da)' occurrences. Two workmen were always detailed to watch for the well-known tell-tale hiss, which lich death by way of y ' was kind enough to give warning. Taken in lime tho escaping vital air could bo checked, the dreadful Hood prevented. But some one blun dered, and then, handfuls of mud, gar ments whipped from off their toiling bodies, Titan mouthfuls to the hungry man, were sucked up all in vain, and tho monster could not be appeased with out his human sacrifice. It is an old story. To sec a lad of ten or a dozen years beginning to smoke is to be tempted to cry, "stop the leak." Wo arc not talking to old smokers; they would not heed us. But if tho boy knew how vitality is being sapped, how muscle, and nerve, and brain, and soul are being injured at this unrijic period of life; knew that he is surely wasting tho energies needed for growth and development of a manly estate, he might conclude to stop tho leak. It is a fact, we believe, that ninetj per cent, of smokers are forced, sooner or later, to break off their habit. The)' must choose between the weed and the ear, or eye, or stomach, or throat, or some noble nervo threatened with paralysis. But to stop when one has tho custom of a score of years! Oh, misery, torture! Why should not. these growing boys spare themselves the struggle, which is often then simply terrilic. A given article of diet always injures on. Others can driuk coffee; you know full well you cannot; and yet you are repeatedly, if not habitually, in dulging in the forbidden thing, to the peril of headaches and heart-flutters. If you know the articles of food which aro always your friends, patronize them; if you know tho practices through which health and strength al ways ebb away, leaving you miserable, begin in time "to stanch the flow. Say no, odco and forever. It ought not to matter to vou that another man seems to be able to endure five nights in a week with onlyjour hours' sleep; that he seems to come freshly to the bank desk at your side; that carousal, late suppers, "and strong drink do not seem to shako his nerves. You, at least, are beginning to cripple undertheso abuses. You have headaches, dizziness, fa tigues, fits of despondency, dullness of attention, and generally failing pow ers. Stop tho leak. Tho truth is, nearly all your friends can sec that to which you" seem so blind. They ob serve your lassitude, the pallor and flush of a feyored spendthrift, wasting na ture's splendid patrimony of youth, the heavy tread instead of that nameless ease "of carriage -and elasticity with which young creatures begin life's jour ney. iTrienus would like to warn you, but the dare not You, at least must stop this expense or die, whateverother men may do. "What has gono wrong?" asks tho watchful wife at evening. "Nothing. You are constantly re peating that question of late." "Yes, and with good reason. A man may work never so hard, go his daily rounds never so faithfully. Knit up his resolution and wear a fireside smile which he whips out like a mask from a pocket of the coat he lays off in the front hall; but worry is a leak which soon begins to tell "its talc Yon are worrying, worrying about something these three months. Can yon let me into the secret? Can a wife's hand help? Shall we economize, move into a less expensive house, dress more plain ly or give up the horses? " At all events stop this waste. Nothing kills like use less 'anxiety. Having done your best, trust God." Remember the holy words .that, at least, are above a woman's rea son and a woman's wit inspired with more than a woman's love. Be care- xui overanxious for nothing, out in everything by prayer and supplication 1 raako your request unto God.' " And we thanked the woman for her gen tit ministry. The habit of exaggeration is a leak. We hear young girls In conversation speak of a thing as "perfectly splen did," as ' the moit magnificent possi ble." "gorgeous." and "sublime."

In tho prison it was pitiful to see him. It was then too late to stop the leak; for ho still believed his detection was an accident, angrily accused this ono and that one, and thought ho would be more shrewd the next time. .V. 11 Weekly. Russia's Deplorable Condition. Tub Minister of the United States at St Petersburg, in a dispatch to the De partment of State, draws a gloomy pict ure of the present economic and social condition of Russia. The grain crop of the past season, he says, has proved a failure, and American wheat is import ed now even at St. Petersburg. It is also entering at Odessa and other Rus sian ports. But a largo market for this American cereal cannot be predicted, as very little bread made from wheat is used in Russia; the mass of tho peo ple must have a cheaper and coarser article, such as ryoor Indian corn. Tho scarcity of grain in tho Empire is so great that it was currently reported and generally believed that the Im perial Government was considering the propriety of prohibiting the exportation of rye. There will be much suffering among the poor classes. Minister Fos ter quotes from tho Uolof, of St. Peters burg, as follows: "From all sides comes news of tho harvest being below the average, of want and hunger, from which will spring disease an'd very likely death. Beetles, worms and lo custs arc eating up the corn; the dimi nution of cattlo surpasses all belief; diphtheria is taking off the coining Kra"""' uiuna ikuu rached live koneks per pound nnn fnnls that Russi.i ilnns nol generation; breadstuff's have already Every one feels that Russia does not subsist by the produce of its own land, but is wasting its capital in cutting wood, selling surplus cattle, pulling straw from its thatched roofs, and depriving itself of its verv clothes and shoes." Weak Woman vs. Tjrant Man. Hekk is an illustration of what can be done by a defenseless, weak and un protected woman when left alone to deal with tho tyranny of heartless men. It was in Booth's Theater last Saturday afternoon. A woman entered with seven companions, and took possession of eight orchestra chairs. Presently eight other claimants of the same seat's came along. There was a comparison of tickets, and it was found that the party in possession held tickets for the matinee of the preceding Wednesday. Explanation Avas followed by expostula tion, and this in turn by denunciation. All in vain. The manager was sent for. "Madam," said he, "j-ou must relin quish these seats. Your tickets arc valueless." " That is no fault of mine. I paid for them, and mean to keep them." "Madam. I insist" Tho enemy said nothing, but sat still. The manager argued, appealed, implored, offered other seats, offered a stage-box, offered compromise on any terms, whilo the. rightful owners of the seats looked and thought unspeakable things. Said the garrison: "Tell you what I'll do; give me two season tickets. for Bernhardt in a good part of tho house, and I will sur render." Tho manager gasped, utter ed a blessing beneath his breath, bowed and declined to continue the conversa tion. Then ho retired in exceedingly bad order. He did not get the seats, but did issue another set of free admis sions to pacify the original proprietors. N. 11 Evening Post. Art Progress in the Limekiln Club. The Committee on International Af fairs reported tho following new scale of prices for winter work: lor blacking cook-stoves, all sizes and makes, twenty-five cents. For blacking parlor-stoves, twenty cents no reduction on account of race, color or previous condition. lor whitewashing ceilings, a general charge of forty cents, witn extra for cornices. Landscapes will be laid on at the same old price, if the old de sign of a red cow standing under a persimmon tree be used against a back ground of a range of green hills. The new winter design lately procured by the club represents a scene in the Alps. By rubbing the snow off the tops of the mountains, it can be changed to a scene on the Hudson. By removing the fat man in it and replacing him with a grizzly bear, it can be made to repre sent wild life in the West By remov ing the bear and substituting a school- house, the scene is changed to New England. This unique design is the invention of the Hon. Snowdrop Bluff em, of Troy, and all his right title and interest has been purchased by the Limekiln Club. Detroit Free Press.

TllK heart of a fish is a simple chain of chambers, instead of the complex quadrilocular organ which circulate.6 the blood of a quadruped; yet it per forms the same office, and performs il sufficiently well for tho fish's needs. In the same way. the organ of hearing of a fish is simple, but it contains all that is absolutely essential for hoaring, viz.. an auditory sacculiis, full of fluid, and containing small bones, or "oboliths" (usually two in number, and compara tively large), and three largo seini-cir-cular canals. All vertebrates above fishes have oboliths and three .semi-circular canals, but higher animals add thereto a spiral cochlea, a tympanum with its chain of bones to communicate vibrations, and an external ear. Any argument against the ability of a fish to hear, based on the simplicity of tho organ of hearing, might equally well bo used to prove that a hsh cannot breathe, swim nor digest, because the organs it possesses for these purposes are simpler than ours, or are built on a slightly different plan. Sure of tho presenco of an organ of hearing, sure also of certain special adaptations of that organ in some groups of fishes, wo ma' be certain that such conclusions as those commented on arc not duo to the fish's want of hearing so much as man's inability to reason correctly from insufficient premises. The microphone has gono far toward proving what phi losophers had previously bocome con vinced of by deductive reasoning, that there is no motion without sound, and therefore that sound is present in num berless instances not evident to our senses. For our perception of sound wo aro dependent upon our sense of hearing, which is adapted only to a cer tain range of sounds; and this range differs in human individuals, for wc all know that some other persons hear sounds that aro imperceptible to us. Still more is this true of other animals; they may hear what we cannot, yet bo deaf to sounds audible to us. Strict experiments upon the hearing of fishes have yet to bo made. Most of tho ob servations yet made are faulty, either because, first, the observer has sii posed that the fish ought, if it can hear, to notice the sound he makes for the purpose; or, second, he has argued, from the standpoint of his own senses, that if a fish hears, the range of its hear ing must he nearly the same as his own. m A Pretty, bat Practical, American (tirl Mas. Emily Roelofsox, a Cincinnati widow, was young and pretty, and pos sessed the additional attraction of a large fortune. Sho went to live in Paris several years ago, and could not escape the love which is there commonly be stowed on American heiresses. Juan Narcisse de Francisco Martin, connected with ono of the foreign diplomatic corps, was the successfuisuitor. They were married last summer. But the bride, mindful of the fact that the law in France does not give the wife exclu sive control of her property, had an important agreement drawn up for the bridegroom to sign, and he did it Tho document has just been recorded in the County Clerk's office at Cincinnati. The important provision is as follows: "Tho said Juan Narcisse de Francisco Mar tin doth covenant and agree to and with the said Emily Roelofson. that from and after the celebration of such marriage she shall continue to hold, manage, control and enjoy her said property as her own sole and separate estate as fully as if she were unmarried; that her said estate shall be in no way liable for the debts of the said Juan Narcisse, and that he will abstain from 'any such conduct as would impair his said wife's rights and prevent her from duly controlling and enjoying her said prop erty. And the said Emily doth cov enant and agree, in consideration of the premises, with the said Juan Narcisse that she will not attempt to give away at any time during their joint lives any part of the principal of her said invest ed estate without the written consent of her said husband, and that in case of her decease, leaving him her survivor, he shall be entitled to receive dnring all the rest of his natural life, the income from one equal half part of the invested estate belonging to her at her decease, and that she will, immediately after the celebration of such contemplated mar riage, execute her last will and testa ment in snch manner and form as to secure such income to him." The for tune consists of 271,000 in stock and bonds, and a large amount of real es tate. Othes Judges as well as ours are laid up and unable to discharge their duties.

A New Ilisk for Hallway TraTclcm. We record ono of tho most extraor dinary calamities that ever occurred, even on a railway. Two express trains leave St. I'ancras in the evening ono at 8:30. the other at y:15. The latter is the Scotch Express, and passes tha former at- Leicester. On Saturday night the driver of the Scotch Kxpres reversed his engine at a place called ; Great ulcn, a lew miles on the London lat tho side of Leicester, in order that other train might have time to shunt. Receiving a signal to tho effect that the line was clear, he again started; but ho started backward . He had for-i o" r"."- i rrnltnn tliif tint lV.k... .... .... WS.....7 W !-. ...k points of his engino I were reversed, and, incredible as it seems, it is said that neither ho nor his stoker perceived that they were going wrong "until they ran into a mineral train on its wav tb Leicester. The re sult of the collision was that a bogey carriage in the express was telescoped, as tho phrase Ls, through the four ad joining compartments. Happily no one was killed on the spot, but tivo passen gers were injured, and one is in a dan gerous condition. Until a full inquiry has been made it wonld be unfair to ward the driver of tho passenger train to speculate on the cause or causes for his strange conduct. It may bo hoped that there was some exceptional ele ment in the case. Otherwise a new and horrible risk will have been added to the danger of railway traveling. Lon don Xcics. Utilizing Elephant Pewer. Almost all the vehicles and other property of tho London Circus, which arrived in Bridgeport, Saturday night, have been boused. One feature of the work of getting tho c fleets under cover was novel and interesting. Some of tho chariots are very heavy, weighing sev eral tons, and were sunk deeply in tho soft soil Too many horses to be used conveniently would" have been required. and accordingly the elephant-trainer brought two of the sixteen elephants of the herd into requisition. It was inter esting to see how intelligently the beast did what was required of them, and to observe their tremendous strength- Turning their trunks around the hubs or the spokes, they lifted the vehicles out of the ruts, and after carry ing them into the building, shifted them to any position desired-' One of the chariots, which they picked up with ease, weighed five tons. It was not al ways easy for them to take bold of their Ioa'd so that it balanced well between them, but they invariably succeeded after a whCe in getting everything ad justed Sao Raven Palltulivm.
