Its Time to go to Bed.
'Tin strange how pa does act sometimes,
When I Imve got a bean ;
He Eecmsto think It jnsMhe time
Authority to show.
He never thinks lilmsoironceyputif;.
But thinks mo old 1 instead;
But raps apon the floor and eliouts,
"It's time to so to bed."
Now all was silent when, at last.
Ills saddened heart to cheer,
I said, "You must not mind pnpu,
lie's getting old and queer."
Ho sat as still as any post,
And not a word was bald ;
When lo, another rap and shout
"It's time to go to bed."
Said poor Gcorgo, "Mny, I now must go,
And let folks go to bed;
" He's knoc.iod upon tho floor now twice.
He'll knock noxt upon my head."
"But you must come again, dear George;
Itcmcmbcr pa Is old.
It he was young like yoo.aud I,
I'm sure he would not scold."
But George never came again,
The knocking scared him out;
And always when I'vogot a beau
Fa's got to bang and shout.
But I have got another, now.
And Johnnie is bis name;
'Xls true that pa still bangs and shouts.
But Johnnie, he Is game.
"I think your papa has retired"
It was no sooner said,
When Instantly tho rap and shout
"It's time to go to bed."
1 quickly bade dear John good night,
Up to my room did go.
And what happoned quite soon after
You very soon shall know.
I crept quite 6llcnt down the stairs.
While John outside did wait ;
I threw my bhawl about myself
And joined him at tho gate.
Hours at the gate passed pleasantly
Between dear John and I;
I could not now cnumoratc,
No, not If I should try.
Pa says dear John has common senso
In not staying so late.
But knows not half the sparking done
By ns down at tho gate.
13ear papa, no more raps and shouts
For us to go to bed,
There Isn't so much sitting np
Since John and I were wed.
Prom a letter by Charles Warren Stoddard.
A SIUHT IX STA3IB0UL.
Seraglio of the Snltnn A Look Into
the Garden of the Houris.
Het ua drop in at the seraglio. The
tongue of Stamboul is thrust into the
midst of tho waters of the Golden
Horn, tho BoBnhorus and the Sea of
Marmora. It Is an oblong hill
crowned with white walls, domes and
minarets, and hedged in about with
groves of black, funereal oypresse9.
Hero stands the eeragllo which was
for fifteen centuries tho abiding place
of the Ottoman Emperors. It is now
UEed only on state occasions, and the
palace, the courts and the Innumera
ble tenements that cover the promon
tory the-ground plan of the seraglio
Is nearly three miles In circumference
are battered, dusty, and out of re
pair. Tho Sublime Porte Is singularly ug
ly, and anything but sublime. The
buildings that oluBter about tho sev
eral oourts havo not, for the most part,
the slightest pretention to architectu
ral beauty or even dignity". The sec
ond court Is flanked by a row of nine
kitchens, looking very muoh Hkonine
limekilns. They are domed, but with
out chimneys, so the smoke passes out
through a hole In tho roof. Here the
Sultan and his court consume annu
ally about forty thousand oxen ; and
there were dally brought to tho table
two hundred sheep, ono hundred
lambs, ten calves, two hundred hens,
two hundred pullets, one hundred
pairs of pigeons, and fifty green geese.
Tho late Sultan Abd-ul Aziz was ac
customed to feeding his family aB
bountifully, and still he was not hap
py ! In the stables by the water side
a thousand horses were formally
stalled; and nmong tho cannon that
sweep the sea and the mouth of the
BosphoruB is ono huge old fellow at
whose hoarse voice Babylon surren
dered to Sultan Murad.
The tfh'iof attraction of tho seraglio
Is the treasury. Here, In a chamber
by no meauB large, Is gathered treas
ures such as one reads of in tales of
the genii. The actual value of this
etore of jewels is almost beyond con
ception. Each Sultan seeks to exceed
his predeceesor In the richness of his
additions to the collections, and the
result is a dazzling but not very Im
pressive array of theatrical-looking
properties, that might just as well be
made of glass and tinsel the effect
upon the spectator would be as pleas
ing. Imagine to yourself a carpet
crusted with pearls, many of them as
large as sparrows eggs; a throne of
gold, frosted with pearlB; draperies
for the horses ridden by the Sultans,
embroidered with pearls and rubles;
a cradle coated with precious stones,
Inlaid armor, jeweled helmets, sword
hilts one of these decorated with fif
teen diamonds, eaoh one as large aB
the top of a man's thumb ; coffee
trays of ebony, with a double row of
enormous diamonds, set close togeth
er; pIpe-stemB, nargllehs, sword belts,
caskets, and bushela of neoklaoos of
the most splendid description, heaped
together In glass show cases and flash
ing like fire-flies In the dark.
The moat costly article In the treas
ury is a toilet table, of lapis lazuli and
other valuable material, riohly Inlaid
with precious stones of every descrip
tion. The pillars that support the
mirror are set with diamonds, the
stem and olaws of the table are cov
ered with diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
carbuncles, etc.; along the edge of the
table hangs a deep fringe of diamonds,
with Immense solitaire tassels. The
whole Is a gorgeous bore.
Multitudes of attendents are sta
tioned through the apartment, and
you may be suro that you ore never
left for a aecond unobserved by these
watchful guardians of the treasure
house. What a relief It Is to with
draw Into the Kiosk of Bagdad, the
private library of the Sultan, sit with
in, eight walls that close about yon like
the exquisite panels of an ivory or
tortoise-shell fan, under a domo of rose
tint and gold mosaic, and, shutting
tho doors of bronze, Inlaid with pearl,
sgalnBt the world, to think how
pleasant a thing it Is ta be poor but
honest! On the shelves of the libra
ry tbero are several codices biougbt
from tho collection of King Mathlas
Coninus at Buda, and there are dain
ty rolls and folios of parchment laid
away, each in itBseparate case, and all
looking very much as if they were
not often disturbed. From the Kiosk
of Bagdad it Is pleasant to look down
into tho deep Garden of tho Houris,
sloping to the swift Bosphorus, and
to meditate on tho light of the harem
that has suddenly gone out forever,
quenched in that fatal flood; but,
thinking on the stifled cries and the
slimy shrouds dragged down into the
pitiless deep, It Is still pleasauter to
rise superior to tho situation, fee the
custodian, and thank heaven that you
you are not a girl !
Not the Wife's Fault. An Irish
man who had just landed, went toseo
his sister, who was married to a Yan
kee. The couple lived very happily
together, and when Pat camo the
gentleman took him over the place to
show it to him. Pat, at tho evidence
of his prosperity, said to his brother-in-law
:
".Begorra, you are very happy hero,
with this flno property to live on ;
me sister had good luck entirely, so
she had, in getting you for a hus
band." "Ah, yes," responded tho married
man, "we would bo very happy but
for one thing."
"And what's that?" asked Pat.
"Ah, Pat," returned the gentleman,
"I am sorry to say that wo have no
ohildren."
"No children!" exclaimed Pat;
'thin, begorra, it's not me sister Mag
gy's fault, for she had two before she
left Ireland, and that's the raysin me
father sint her to Ameriky !"
An old woman who has hurried, by
turn, four whisky-soaked husbands,
gives this advice to the joug girls, ir
respective of color:
Girls, don't marry a man that
drinks whisky. He may tell you
that you can save him, and that he
will go to the devil without you. Just
tell him to go, that the devil can get
along with one of you, for a hundred
chances to one, if you marry him he
will take you both there. Drunken
ness and misery aro Inseparable com
panions, and the man who drinks
whiskey has no business with a wife.
Again we say, girls, don't marry n
man that drinks.
When a Russian army officer or
other person of note 1b condemned to
exile in Siberia, he is first made to
kneel on a scaffold before the people,
while apaulots and decorations aro
torn off, and his sword broken over
his head. He Is declared legally dead,
and his wife, if ho Ismarried, can, if
she chooses, consider herself a widow.
His estates aro confiscated to the
Crown. If his wife and children fol
low him they can never return.
Mr. Spyker has a boy who 'nails'
things. One day he remarked in the
presence of both parents, 'Ma, I saw
Pa ki68 you in the woodshed, last ove-
Jning.'
'Hush, Johnn'; your Pa never
committed such a foolish act!'
'Yes ho did, Ma, 'cause I thought it
was Jane, and Jane said it wasn't her,
but you !'
Jane doesn't work there now.
A swarm of bees wero dislodged
from under the clapboards of an old
house at Greenfield, Mass., lately, af
ter they had been three yearB there.
The removal of the clapboards dis
closed a solid mass of honey extend
ing up between the studding seven
feet and five inches high, two feet
wide and four inches thick. The
honey, which was of tho very best
quality, weighed 150 pounds.
A girl ate seven pounds of heavy
wedding cake, in order thatshe might
dream of her future husband. She
dreamed that a man with teeth a foot
long, dog's feet and a hair lip, sat on
her all night, and, rather than marry
him, she contemplated suicide and an
early tomb, where the bobolinks sing.
'Now, my boy,' said the examiner,
'if I had a mince pie and should give
two-twelfths of it to John, two
twelfths to Isaao, two-twelfths to Har
ry, and should take half the pie my
self, what would there be left. Speak
out loud, so that all can hear.'
'The plate ! shouted the boy.

An exohange says, 'Shall wo cher

USEFUL ItLCIPES. KftftfflYf lUffT (, s 'filf3 5bI 1W n fesr
Shirked Eggs. For each person,
break a couple of eggs intoa small tin
or earthen dish (the little yellow firt
proof baking pans are most suitable),
and place on the stove unttlstho whites
are ett and tho yolks begin to stiffen.
Remove and servo in tho saTie dish
set on a suueer or small plate. Eggs
cooked in this manner make'a deli
cious and wholesome break fae dish.
i
Fkied Rabbit. Take only young,
tender rabbits ; cut into join ts and af
ter soaking for an hour in salt and wa
ter, dry with a olean towel and dip in
beaten egg, then roll in powdered
cracker and fry brown in butter and
serve. A very delicious sauce for the
above may be prepared by mincing
three or four boiled onions arid stir
ring with a small cup of milk in'to
drawn butter eauce.
Bran, Coffee. A lady furnishes
the following to tho Western Mural:
In these times of economy and in
vention, my recipe for coflee may not
come amiss with some, and if all
would use it Instead of coffee, they
would bo better off in health as well
as purse. Take good whoat bran, have
It clean, of course; add molasses en
ough to just wet by rough stirring
(this will mako tho beverago sweet
enough); place on n tin in tho oven,
let it brown, and stir as you would
coffee, until all brown. To make it:
Boil the water, add the bran, table
spoon or more to each person ; let sim
mer down with rich milk, and let mo
hear about it, please.
A cube for small rox. 'I am
willing to risk my reputation as a pub
lic man,' wrote Edward Hinie to the
Liverpool Murcury, "If the worst
case of small-pox can not be cured in
three days, simply by the use of cream
ofturtar. One ounce of cream of tar
tar dissolved in a pint of water, drink
at intervals, when cold, is a cetain,
never-failing remedy. It has cured
thousands, never leaves a mark, nev
er causes blindness, and avoids tedi
ous liugering.'
Breakfast Gems. Ono pint of
sour milk, three tublespooufuls mo
lasses, two of sugar, one egg, one tea
spoonful soda; stir In enough Grah
am flour to make a very thick batter.
Drop from a spoon Into jrour gem
pans, and bake in a very quick oven.
Take from tho pan as soon as done,
and cover with a thick cloth until
wanted for the table. This recipe is
recommended by one who haB used it
satisfactorily for years.
To Preserve Eggs. After hatch
ing time is passed, collect thirty or
fifty dozen (or buy them fresh, while
oheap) and prepare a liquid thus:
One pint of oommon salt, one pint of
lime ; dissolve in four gallons of boil
ing water ; let it settle, and put the
eggs into tho liquor in stone jars
when cold. Cover the eggB entirely
in tho liquid, and use stone, not soft
crockery jars. Thus embedded, eggs
will- Uqep. for -twelvo moatlia, and
como out in good shape.
To Kill Flies. Take one ounce of
cobalt, pound it and place it in plates
with mixed spirits. The fumo3 will
kill the flies if tho room ia kept eloped.
Afterwad air the room. Another rec
ipe is to beat up the yolk of an egg,
with a table.-pooufui of molases aud
black pepper finely ground. Set it
about in shallow plates and the flies
will be rapidly killed. Oue dram ex
tract of quassia dissolved in a gill of
water, sweetened with a half gill of
molasses, will have the same effect, if
set around in flat dishes, to which tho
flies have acosss. Tho quassia act3 as
a narcotic

PBESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The country has passed through a flereorreslden
tlal contest, and the result has been left In a dan
gerous and unsatisfactory shape, on account of tho
unprecedented cloeenLSS of the election, the angrv
dNpules as to the votes of certain States, and tho
failure of the Constitution toprovldo any tribunal
roswveuoBDW or decide contested points.
GOV. HAYES ELECTED.
From thebest light before It TheTrlbunehelleveq
that Haves has received ls.-Kl!Ctoral votes against
ls4rorTilden,and Is therefore entitled to be Inau
gurated President on thetth of March. 1677. The
hlghe t good of the South. as well as of the North,
would be best promoted by his occupancy of tbo
Executive Chair.
DANGER OF ANOTHER WAR.
But there are grave apprehenlona tbot a rnlllnp
ly. ravenous crowd of oiilce-pckers may resort to
lawless and violent mpans to lntiu tim inrmtiwt
