The tiddler welcome was ever the Mime; Ami tho song that ho Hang had a cheery sound All day as be traveled his weary found " Tin: Min may shine, iitid therulii may fall, Hut the good Cod ruleth over all," Sang the llddler old and gray. The fiddler man bad neither lands, Xor fluckx, nor herds, nor gold ; J l: earned what ho bad of meat aniLdi ink, And lodging, and clothes, and a bit of chink. With his fiddle ko cracked and old; As up and down through each street and Iaii, I n the Miltry mm or the chilling rain, With twanging firing, but w itli cheery i strain. He fiddled, and .sang the old refrain: ' The huh may nhlne, and the rain may fall, Hut tho good Cod ruleth over all. And all are fed by Ills bands." Tho fiddler man bad wealth untold; Ay, Hiire be had gi eat gain; Tor he came and bo went, as free as air. And bis brows wore bent with no brooding caie. As bo trudged through c trcet and lane.

Mr. antl Mrs. Harris were Inking tea with their neighbors, the .Joneses, in a friendly way. Mrs. Harris camo over early, bringing her crochet-work, find the ladies had a pleasant chat before the gentlemen camo in to supper. They were both from their business oflices, but just as fresh aud lively as if there was no such things as business cares, those worrying ones which so often darken a man's brow when ho enters tho door of his " ain firesitle.,, " Your husband is always so jolly and good-natured. It must be quito a pleasure to live with him," said Mrs. Jones to Mrs. Harris as they went to the table. " Yo-cs," answered Mrs. Harris, with a slight hesitation, for she remembered well, certain little things which hap pened at home now and then. " I'm afraid this tea is not strong enough," remarked Mrs. Jones as she passed Mr. Harris his cup. "Do you find it agreeable, Mr. Harris?" " Oh, delightful, madam!" returned Mr. Harris, with a bland smile. "Strong tea is hurtful to the nerves, and keeps one awake at night, I think." " This won't, at all events," thought Mrs. Harris, as she sipped tho tasteless fluid in her cup. " Have a bit more of the steak, Har ris," said Mr. Jones. " Mollie, seems to me this is a little scorched." " Yes, it is," admitted Mrs. Jones, " I did not have very good luck with it this time. I'm very sorry, too." " Oh, it's very nice very nice, in deed ! " returned cordial Mr. Harris. I think I will take another bit, Jones. If there is any thing I like, it is steak just a bit scorched. Thank you; no more of the gravy. These arc very fine bis cuits, Mrs. Jones. I believe I must send my wife over to take lessons of you in cooking." Mrs. Harris looked up in some sur prise, and blushed a little, but did not say a word. She knew she was a better cook than Mrs. Jones, and at home Mr. Harris was uot'accustomcd to be so very po lite. Mrs. Jones was greatly flattered " You're very good, I'm sure," she simpered. " I can generally cook ; but it seems to me I always have the very worst luck when I have company." Mrs. Harris thought Mrs. Jones had mot with bad luck this time. The cake was heavy and the preserves had sour ed ; but Mr. Harris praised every thing and declared he had enjoyed his supper immensely. If ho would only be as pleasant as that at homolj" sighed little Mrs. Har ris as she walked through the street with her husband after they had taken leave of their friends. But she knew it would be useless to say a word. Coaxing would be lost in this case, and scolding never accomplished any thing. However, her woman's wit set to work to find some way tc teach that husband of hers a lesson, and after a while the way was found. The next evening supper was ready when Mr. Harris came home, and was just as near as could be a counterpart of the supper at Jones's the night before. Weak tea, scorched beefsteak, biscuit only moderate, heavy cake and sour preserves. But Mrs. Harris was all calm and serenely unconscious. Come Mamie, lieorgie, supper is xeady and papa has come," she said, calling the two children, who came bounding in from their play. .IHope you got somethin' good. I'm audience, and a$jfuigry," Master George ex- claimed, while gcntlo little Mamie an swered him : I'so 'shamed of you, Georgic! Mam ma's suppers is always good." Mam ma said nothing, only poured papa a cup of tea. "Humph! is this tea or dishwater?" was his remark as ho tasted it. You told Mrs. Jones strong tea hurt you," said Mrs. Harris, quietly. " Urn well jes, I did!" said Mr. Harris, taken somewhat aback, "but I didn't mean such weak stuff as this. The steak is burned, too. It isn't fit to cat such trash!" " You told Mrs. Jones you were fond of scorched meat," remarket! Mrs.Har ris, as quietly as before. Mr. Harris colored. " Well but I not as black as this, though. Haven't you got any lieht bread? These biscuits are not as good as usual." Mrs. Harris brought a slice of bread and laid it beside his plate. He took it without saying a word. "Why, ma, what ails your cake?" asked (Jeorgic, as he took a bite of a huge slice. "It's heavy as lcad.itbat's what's the matter with it!" snapped Mr. Harris. " You said Mrs. Jones's cake was de lightful, and it was no better than this," responded his wife, in tone perfectly even and unruffled. Oh, pshaw!" ejaculated Mr. Harris. " I tlon't like to cat such stuff at home, anyhow. And seems to me these pre serves don't taste just right. I believe they are soured." " I believe thoy are a little," returned Mrs. Harris, coolly. "What did you put them on for, then? I think this is a delightful meal, I do not a thing that is fit to eat!" " I'm sorry if I didn't please you. I tried to, especially," said Mrs. Harris, as coolly as before. "Tried to!" " Yes. You saitl "you were going to send me over to take lessons in cooking of Mrs. Jones. I took them at home, that's all. But I don't seem to succeed as well as she did." " What on earth do you mean, Sue?" " Don't you sco? If you will think 3ou will sec that I have given you to night just about what she gave us last night. But then, you remember, you praised every thing until Mrs. Jones was perfectly satisfied." "Bosh, Sue! Don't you know that was all for tho sako of politeness?" " Oh, was it? Well, then wo arc to teach our children that politeness is only for company use, antl not necessary at home." " Why, no, of course not." "Then, if not, isn't it just as impor tant to wear asmilo and a kind face, and try to excuse little accidents at home, as when we aro visiting? And if wo don't grumblo all tho time wo aro among those who arc mere strangers, have wo a right to niako those wo love best miserable by doing so all the time at homo?" Mr. Harris wasn't going to own that ho was beaten. What man would? But ho camo round to his wife's chair and gave her a kiss, a thing a little un usual itself mucc his lover-days were over, and said : " You're a first-rate little preacher, Sue. I'll lend you to tho church next year." And oil he went. But the lesson was not lost, for Mrs. Sue, who feared that perhaps she had said too much, and done harm instead of good, heard far less grumbling, and got many more smiles at homo as the days went on, anil if Mr. Harris seemed disposed to fall into his old ways, she would only say, archly : " Hadn't we better tako tea with the Joneses again?" and he was on his guard at onco. 'I here are very many more Mr. Har rises at home who might do well to lay the lesson to heart also. Let us humbly hope they will. Boston and Chicago. Apropos of tho recent visit of the Chicago Commercial Club to Boston where by the way they wcro most hos pitably entertained a Boston man (Causeur of tho Transcript) tells the following little story : "A many years ago" two young men, John and James, Boston boys both, wero fellow-clerks on Kilby Street. .John went to Chicago in its muddy days, prospered, married, raised a fam ily, and, ere his hair was gray, became a well-to-do, substantial citizen, open handed and open-hearted. James re mained at home. He, too, prospered, married, raised a family, and became one of the "solid men of Boston." Now, it fell out that when John's eldest son they called him Jack was 21, ho visited Boston, bearing a letter to his father's old friend, whom he foand in a dingy Tearl Street counting-room, deep in the Advertiser. Jack presented the letter, and stood, hat in hand, while the old gentleman read it twice. "So you're John's son?" he said. "You don't look a bit like your father." Then there was a pause, Jack still standing. "What brought you to Boston?" he was asked. " Well, sir," said Jack, " father thought I'd better seo his old home and get a tasto of salt air." "Going to be here over Sunday?" "Yes, sir," "My pew is No at Trinity. Hope to see you there. Glad to have met you." And there tho in terview ended. Now it chanced that, not long after, James's son, roving through the West, reached Chicago. He remembered his father's friend by name, and hunted him up in his office. " Well, my son," said a pleasant voice, before he had closed the door. " Mv name is James , sir, and I thought " " What? You don't mean to say that . Of course you are. I might have known it. Where's your bag gage?" "At the hotel, sir." "We'll go and get it, and take it right up to the house," answered the.genial old gentle- man, closing nis aesK witn a vigorous slam. " We'll go right up now. There's plenty of time for a drive, this after noon. This evening you can go to the theater with my girls, and to-morrow you and I will take a run out on the C, B. & Q., and have a look at the coun try. Then I want to take you out to the Stock-Yards, and I have a trip on the lake, and " "But, sir," broke in the overwhelmed young man, "I must go home to-morrow." " Tut, tut, my boy, don't talk that way. You can't begin to see this city underaweek, and you're going to stay that long any how." He did. In fact, he's there now. CAKE OF THE HEALTH Advice rou. Hot Weather. Keep cool if you can; don't drink any thing with alcoholic poison in it; eat sparing ly of plain, simple food; keep a good conscience; read your newspaper, and don't forget to pay for it Troy (.V. J'.) Times. Si'Kaims asd Bkcikes. Parsnip tops beaten to a pulp and welted with vine gar are a good application; also brant or clay, or brown paper, made wet with vinegar. But for sprains or bruises the best direction that can be given is to wrap the part with a soft cloth in many folds, and keep it constantly wet with water as warm as the patient can bear it. This treatment should be kept up for an hour or two at a time. Blisters. If you wish a blister to heal quickly, be careful not to remove the skin. On infants this should be ob served. The first dressing should be lily or cabbage leaves coddled in boil ing water. Then a salve made thus : one part wax, one part lard, one part turpentine from the pine-tree; melt and strain. Itesin is sometimes used instead of turpentine. This make3 basilicon. If the part blistered be in a situation apt to bo rubbed, cover with cotton bats, as in tho case of a burn, especially if the patient be an infant. Si si i'le Treatment rou Sciatica. Dr. Kbrard of Nimes states that he has for many years treated all his cases of sciatica and neuralgia pains with an improvised electric apparatus, consist ing merely of a flit-iron and vinegar, two things that will bo found in every hou3e. The iron is heated until suffi ciently hot to vaporize tho vinegar, antl is then covered with some woolen fab ric, which is moistened with vinegar, and the apparatus is applied at once to the painful spot. Tho application may bo repeated two or three times a day. As a rule, tho pain disappears in 21 hours, and recovery ensues at once. Boils. Thc30 painful and trouble some things may sometimes bo prevent ed by wetting a stick of caustic at one end and making a circle roimd tho in flamed part. If it will rise, apply warm flax-seed or mush anil fat poultices, and as soon as it is soft open with a lancet or dress witn basilicon. If the boil is a hard tumor with a hard speck in the middle, which, when opened, shows a greenish coro, it is a carbuncle, anil should have a blister put entirely over it. In fact, all boils which arc too slow to rise arc best treated by being blistor cd, which is less painful than would be supposed. Kkfkcts of Hicii Living. A cor respondent of iho London Builder, while acknowledging the services of that journal in tho cause of sanitary reform, contends that " the health of stable keepers, of sewer explorers, the exemp tion of the inhabitants of the Ghetto during tho cholera in Rome," proves, in his opinion, that tho cause of epi demics lies more in tho mistreatment of human life than in all external mischief put together, and attributes a great deal of tho illness among the wealthier classes to their over-eating and drink ing, just as, on the other hand, much of that among the poorest is the fruit of privation. " People of means live to tho top' every day ; consequently there is no reserve force, for this has been all consumed in endeavoring to surmount the weight of difliculties daily present ed." London men-servants have four aud sometimes five meals three of meat daily, and the hospital doctors say that their blood is so heated by high living that they arc very difficult patients to ileal with. Petroleum as a Remeut for Con sumption. The scenes which are daily witnessed at the oil works at Point Breeze, to which numbers of consumptives re sort in order to inhale the vapors from tho stills and obtain crude oil for inter nal application, have their counterpart over m France. A Government report, recently published in the Bulletin de Thcrapeulique, narrates that a refiner of petroleum was prohibited by a Prefect from distributing petroleum in medic inal doses. Some of the sufferers ap pealed, and the Government ordered Dr. Blache, a prominent medical prac titiouer, to institute an investigation as to tho utility of petroleum in affections of tho chest. Native petroleum from Pennsylvania and Virginia was experi mented with. Dr. Blache, in his report, stated that he found that, in chronic bronchitis with abundant expectoration, it rapidly diminished the amount of the secretion and the paroxysms of cough ing; while in simple bronchitis rapid amelioration was obtained. Its em ployment in phthisis was continued for too short a time to warrant any opinion regarding its efficiency, beyond that it is diminishing tho expectoration, which also lost its purulent character. Dr. blache says that the petroleum is pop ularly taken in doses of a tcaspoonful before each meal, and that after the first day any nausea which it excites in most persons disappears.

In a brief year the mine petered out, and silence reigned in Bo die's halls. Only ghostly sobs fjfrom spirit-land were borne on the midnight air from brained gamblers whose stock losses drove them to suicide. Now, again, Gabriel's trump proclaims salva tion'strikes of gold, and sounds the call to resurrection. Behold! Bodie, that was dead, is alive again. Its highways are all abuzz as of yore, and the old fa miliar sounds come back I bet, you bet, he bet?.

So soon as they wcro seated at the tablo tho lady opened fire with the usual stock of questions. "Have you been to the Academy?" "I have,"said Mr. Millais. " And did you notico that odious old Millais's pictures?" " Well, yes; I saw them, too." Presently the champagne camo round. Said Mr. Mil lais, with his best smile: "I am going to ask you to take wine with me, and not a mere sip, but to drain your glass to me, to strengthen your nerves." The lady pledged him accordingly. Then said the artist, quietly : " Now that you ire fortified, I may venture to tell you that I nni the odious old Millais." The lady put up her hands in horror.

The guardian bad evidently heard some sto ries reflecting upon the young diplomat, and he questioned his superior officer concerning him, beginning with his rep utation for temperance. "Yes," replied the Minister from Patagonia be it understood "he is tem perate. He doe3 not drink much. He can not drink much, receiving as he does only $-10 a month salary." " It has been intimated to me that he gambles," suggested the guardian. " Yes," answered the Minister from Patagonia "all young men play a lit tle. But he does not play much. How can he, when his salary is only $40 a month?" The guardian, not at all satisfied with these responses, ventured to ask a third question, about the young attache's moral character. A lit" i-enliml tho TTinictoi" rri Patagonia "it is excellent. How, sir, could it be otherwise, when he only gets $40 a month? He has not a cent to squander in dissipation."
