TEE-TOTAI.ISM.

It's not philosophical to 90 too far
back for the derivation of many
Lancashire expressions. There is a
word now used from the sunny bank
OF the Ganges to the frozen shores Of
Canada-it has become incorporated
into the English language-namely
tee-total and yet our material eyes
have rested upon its originator. We
looked on him, not with The reverence
that we should have done on Cadmus
or Columbus, but certainly not with
out respect. He was man in humble
circumstances; and when the temper
ance movement commenced, he enter
ed warmly into the lists in its support.

further than many and when he adj

pronounced it t-t-total. What an

The HTNDoo GIRL.-Mr Pierpont
related the following interesting fact
in recent lecture:
M the present day the uneducated
Hindoo girl, by the use of her hands
simply, could Surpass the delicacy and
fincness Of texture of productions of
the most perfect machinery, in the
manufacture of cotton and muslin
cloths. In England cotton has been
spun so fine that it would require
a thread of 400 miles in length to
weigh pound--but the IIindoo girl
had, by her hands, constructed a thread
which would require to be extended
one thousand miles 10 weigh a pound;
and Deccla muslins other manufacture

with dew,arc no longer visible.

By the dusty roadside,
On the sunny hillside,
Close by The noisy brook,
In every shady nook,
come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping. smiling everywhere;
All round the open door,
Where sit the aged poor,
Here where the children play
In the bright and merry May.

In the noisy city street.
My pleasant face YOU IL meet
Cheering the sick al heart,
Toling his busy part,
Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere
You cannot see me coming,
Nor hear my low sweet hummingi
For in the starry night,
And the glad morning light,

Here l come creeping, creeping everywhere.
More welcome than the flowers,
In summer Ileasant hour.

WHERE DO MEN GO WHO DIE A
CHICAGO

CHICAGO.
Some years ago when Chicago was in
It's infancy, stranger took up his quar-
tiers at the principal hotel, and inscribed
his name on the register as Z" Mr.. J.,
OF St. Louis" For several DAYS he re-
manned there, engaged in transacting the
business which had brought him 10 the,
place, and from his exceedingly plain
dress, manners, and general appearance
attracted but little attention.
Soon Mr.. = was suddenly SCI
zed with Illness, during which he was
sadly neglected by his host; and the ser.
wants taking their tone from the master
OF the house, left him to shift fer himself
as he best could. Thus matters went on
til one morning he was found past pray
ing for. His papers we're then examined,
that the sad intelligence might be COM
munlcated to his friends; when to the
surprise Of all, he was found 10 be one Of
the weal;hiCst men in the western coun-
try.
Arrangements were accordingly made
for the funeral but before the last rights
were performed, the subject came TO life
again, having been the victim Of cata-
lepsy, instead Of the grim King of Ter
rors." All were overioyed at his fortu-
nate escape from so dreadful fate. and
from that time were protuse in their ex-
pressions of solicltude, elected, however
five may Judge, by documentary eyi-
dence,'' rather than by any personal re,
gard.
Al length some one ventured to ask
how things appeared to him while in this
trance, TO which he thus replied:
8 thought had come to the river of
death, where met an angel who handed
me q Jewel TO serve as pass 10 the other
side. On giving this to the ferryman, /
received from him another which carried
me forward another stage in ms Journey
Going on thus for several stages, receiy-
ing at the termination of each a ticket
for The succeeding one, at last reached
the gate Of HE Heavenly City. There
l found St. Peter, who opened the door
At my summons, seated BY small table
