When I was alive that is to say, .
before my body had coaaed to exist
ana my eouiaaa gone upon imjuui-
ney Into tht great unknowable I
had curious theory, tho truth of
which I an now about to put to the
test by practical experienpe, and it
was this: I believed that if one's
soul could but re-visit this earth and
find that ita one-time companions
were happy and regretted its flight
heavenward, how much more peace
fully could the spirit return to the
beyond, and cheerfully take up its
place among the Immortals. It
afforded me much pleasure to spec
ulate upon this; theory, and it will
giv me comfort to know that all the
fellow-creatures with whom I once
associated when my soul was en
cased in an earthly tenement still
think of me as I shonld have been,
not as I was, i. e., faultless and gen-
oroua, numuie ana Hou-Huuiiui-iuB,
kind and good.
You may say there is a sort of
grim or deathly humor about my
introductory'reflections. That shows
that you are still in the world and
not out of it as I have been for what
you of the living call five years.
We do not, in my present sphere,
reckon time as you do; years
with us aro bnt sands in the illimit
able space of eternity. To mo this
grim humor if you can call it
humor is as natural as breathing
would bo to you. I am only indulg
ing in reflections and speculative
fancies that we, of tho spirit land,
occasionally fall into, just tho reverse
of what you of tho earth think in
regard to the Great Beyond. You
may imagine I am about to reveal
the secrets of eternity, but you will
be mistaken if you continue in that
though, although I am a spirit, and
possess, In common with my follows
the powers, the onenesB, and the
ethereality of an indefinite object,
yet there is a point beyond which
even I cannot go, and upon my lips
has been sot the seal of the f
Spirit, whose power all les.spiril8

fellow spirits in any

of tho Great Spirit in thus locking
up tho secrets of oternity from the
covetous eye of man is beyond all
doubt unquestionable. What good
would this knowledge do mankidd?
"Would it make them any tho more
happy in life, or more willing to
face death? Unquestionably not!

into eternity ? The All-Wise has, In
justice and mercy drawn an Impen
etrable veil between earth and
heayen, which for the earthly con
tentment of mankind, must not be
rent asunder save by the soul. Every
one has been put upon the earth for
some purpose known only to tho
infinite ; and when immortal knowl
edge granted to mankind the chains
of life might become insnpportable
and lead mankind to self-destruction

As alcoholicdrinka have happily
long been driven from the harvest
field8,tbere have been various drinks
besides water substltuted.but scarce
ly any of them meeting fully the
conditions sought for iu the way of
a wholesome, satisfying beverage.
Water, even iu all its purity, does
not seem to quench the thirst and
stimulate tho body, as it produces
additional perspiration and passes
through the pores almost like pass
ing through a colander, leaving the
system exhausted and weak ; besides
a drink of cold water,when suffering
under a great Jegrec of heat, is dan
gerous, even at times producing
sudAen death. Latterly in England
and elsewhere a drink is prepared
by mivincr nut-meal with wafer, in
the proportion of three or, Jour
ounces to a gallon of water. This is
found" not onlyTo satisfy"the thirst
better than water, or molasses and

vinegar or other acid.but to produce
additional strength of body. Oat

What an

A droll mistake was made by an
imaginative ofd dame, who, having
permitted a telegraph pole to pe
placed on the top of her house.wait
ed upon the chief of tho telegraph
company concerned to complain
that she could get no sleep of a
night, being kept awake by tho noise
made by tbe messages passing over
her head.
"I 'don't think, sir," said sho, "you
can be aware of all that's said along

hadn't ought to be. I can assure
you, sir, that very much that's said
there, that I have to lie and listen
to, is such as no decent woman

ThVamused gentleman was hardly

the old lady that tho young men
who had hithcrty worked tho wires
were under notice of dismissal, and
that in future only young women of
irreat respectability would be em

of her propriety being shocked any
longer. Chambers' Journal.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
speaking of the results of therepub

"Whatever may be said to the

must be allowed that, during twenty

it has encountered extraordinary
good fortune and displayed unusual

Conrtnlilp la Greenland.
There Is something exceedingly
melancholy in the accounts which
are given of the custom of courtship
in Greenland. Generally women en
tor noon tho blessed estate with
more willingness and less solicitude
than men. The women of Green
land are an exception to this rulo.
A Greenlander, having fixed his
affections upon some female, ac
quaints his parents with the stato of
his heart. They apply to tho pa
rents of tho gljfl, and If the parents
are thus far agreed the next pro
ceeding is to appoint two female
negotiators whose duty is to broach
the subject to tho young lady, ims
iB a matter of great tact and delica
cy. The lady ambassadors do not
shock the young lady to whom they
are sent by any sudden or abrupt
avowal of the awful subject of fheir
mission. Instead of doing this they
launch out in praises of tho gentle
man wno seeKB ucr uuu. au,
speak of the splendor of his house,
tho sumptuousness of his furniture,
of his courage and skill in catching
seals, and other accomplishments.
The lady, pretending to be affronted
pvnn At these remote hints, runs
away, tearing the ringlets of hair as
she retires, while the ambassadress
es, having got tho consent of her
parents, pursue her, take uer uy
force to the house of her destined
husband and thero leave her. Com
pelled to remain there sho sits for
days with dishevelled hair, silent
and dejected, refusing every kind of
sustenance, till at last, if kind en
treaties do not prevail, she is com
pelled by force, and even by blows,
to submit to the detested union. In
some cases the Greenland women
faint at the proposals of marriage;
in others they fly to the mountains
and only return when compelled to
do so by tho hunger and cold. If
one cuts off her hair it is a sign that
she is determined to resist to death.
The Greenland wife is tho slave of
her husband, doomed to a life of
toil, drudgery and privation.
Health la Summer.
wi i amkmi?e
golly here.
Now that s
..nairionta of crowded cities an
towns cannot be too careful as to
their diet and personal habita. The
danger from sunstroke or exhaus
tion is not very great for people in
ordinary health, but any physician
will endorse the statement that too
crmat care cannot be exercised to
ward off those diseases which in
evitably follow imprudence during
tbe heated term. Too many people
observe the same roles of living in
the dog daysyhat they do Mn the
bracing atmosphere of fall and win
ter, and, as a rule, they pay dearly
for their imprudence. Even in the
matter of clothing but little care is
taken to provide againBt sudden
changes of temperature, or during
periods, of intense heat to reduce
the temperature of the body. Many
persons also expose themselves to
the sun in the moBt reckless manner,
while others are equally imprudent
as to the kind and equality of their
food. The latter is a most impor
tant consideration. Tho simpler
and more nourishing the food the
better; yet how few restrict them
selves or show the least discrimina
ion in selecting the supplies for
their tables during the summer
months. Frequent bathing, moder
ate exercise, abstention as far as
possible from all excitement, rigid
supervision of drainage, cleanliness
not only in the living rooms of tbe
house, but in all the obscure places
about the premises these are safe
guards which no person, however
robust in health, can afford to
disregard. The list of ills that fol
low the neglect of these ordinary
precautions is very long, and all are
bbHohb in their effect upon the
human frame. Ex.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil, the
strongest Grant paper in Iowa, has
the following to say of the Chicago
result:
The ticket nominated at Chicago
on Tuesday is one upon which all
opposing forces can unite without
the sacrifice of a single prejudice or
the breach of a single principle.
Gathering around their new leader
we shall seo the power of Grant, the
chivalary of Blaino and tho worth
of Sherman and Edmunds. Their
forces will battle for him as they
battled for themselves, and with a
united party, under a banner on
whose surface there Ib neither rent
nor stain, the grand old republican
party will march onward to a glor
ious victory.
In general, pride is at the bottom
of all great mistakes. All the other
passions do occasional good, but
wherever pride puts in ita word,
everything goes wrong, and what
might be desirable to do quietly and
innocently, it is morally dangerous
to do proudly, Ruskin,

Talk at Heme.
Eudeavor always to talk your
best before your children. They
hunger perpetually for new ideas.
They will Uaru with pleasure from
tbe lips of parents what they deem
it drudgery to learn from book3,
and, even if they have to bo depriv
ed of many educational advantages,
they will grow up intelligent if they
enjoy In childhood the privilege of
listening daily to the conversation
of intelligent people. We some
times see parents, who are the life
of every company which they enter,
dull, silent and uninteresting at
home among their children. If they
have not mental stores sufficient for
both, let them first use what they
have for their own households. A
silent homo is a dull place for young
people, a place from which they
will escape if they can. How much
useful information, on tbe other
hand, is often given in pleasant fam
ily conversation; and what uncon
scious, but excellent, mental train
ing in lively social argument t Cul
tivate to the utmost tbe graces of
conversation.

There was a Kansas City Journal
reporter on the train that carried
Grant from Galena, and one of hia
first exploits was to sail through the
carB getting up a list of the people
aboard. One of the persons he
struck was a short, thick-set man
with a beard, who eat gazing pen
sively out of the window with a
cigar in his mouth.
"Are you one of the invited
guests?" asked the reporter, tap
ping the man on the shoulder.
The man said he was and kept on
smoking.
"From St. Joe or Leavenworth ?"
asked the reporter, note" book and
pencil in hand.
"Illinois," replied tho man, still
smoking.
"Initials, please," asked the re
porter. "Ulysses S. Grant," replied the
man quietly.
"Oh!" faintly ejaculated the re
porter, and a strange light came into
his eyes. And he moved on.
How to make a "solid South" and
elect Hancock, is set forth by the
Mississippi Star.
'Inaugurate social ostracism a
galnst every white man north or
south, that givos his support to the

any man who will go on or assist in
making the bond of any man elected

This is the kind of Democracy
that Mr. J. P. Irish exhorts the
"young Republicans' to "conciliate"

From carefully-studied records of
the occurrence of certain diseases
In the past, an English physician in
fers that epidemics seep over the
country in quite regular -periods,
the cycles being of about the fol
lowing length : Whooping cough,
four years ; small-pox, four to five
years ; measles, seven years ; scarlet
fever, fifteen to twenty years.
At a camp-meeting last summer a
venerable Bister began tbe hymn :
"My soul be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise."
She began too high. "Ten thou
sand," she screached, and stopped.
"Start her at five thousand!" cried
a converted stock-broker present.
