Death is Silent.

/ In the city, while men are brawling and
busy in the crowded streets, death is en.e.
ring the secret chambers, and friends sit
paliid by the couchcs of the breathless, or
love is drinking in the sigh Which hears
the soul to heaven Death is silent; those
whose very look spoke to US in life, pass
from our sight as the shadow from the d.
al, and the music of their words become
sad echoes in the distance of our memory
Death is silent. Living hatred thuniers
in the strife of war, but when the contest
is over, death, grim and speechless, is the
monarch in the field. Death is silent
Tempests shrek madly upon the ocean, and
many are they who sink with this requiem
into their fathomless grave but from tie
depths of that sublime sepulchre, no sound
comes back to tell Of those who perishcd.
Death Is silent; yet not so entirely silent
it is to the ear, but not always to the heart;
our brethren are still bound to Us, and
though dead, they have not ceased to be.
There is much to BE- felt aad learned where
they rest.
Humility has instruction from the proud
mans monument, and content lesson
from the vanity that overlies his clay
There is paihos in the solitude where the
stranger sleeps; there is mute eloquence
on his unlettered grave; there is beauty
in the poor mans epi,aph, inscribed ho-
nestly by affection; there is sutlimity iu
the rude sculpture Of the PEASANTS tomb,
when it is the effort to symbolic an i'm
mortal faith. And it is such faith which
takes terror from the power of death, and
despair from the silence Of the grave
There is tha. in US which is not all clay
Tbs. which belongs TO earth mus. 50 to'

What to Eat, and how to Cook it

We find some suggestions in the Tribune
upon the important question, "whas shall
we eat?" which we commend to the eco
nomicaIly disposed. With all kinds Of
food so high in price, depressed business,
thousands thrown out Of work with fami-
lies dependent upon them, whatever can
be shown less expensive than former diet,
should be at once adopted. Fresh meat
of all kinds, at the prices at which butch
ers retail it, is not economical food. Meats
will average over a shilling pound. Salt
ed meats are cheaper than fresh. In eco
nomizing food, meat should never be fried
or boiled. If you would get the most sub
stance out Of fresh meat, make it into soup,
or stew, Or pot pic. In making soup,soak
your meat some hours in cold water, and
boil it in the same. Thicker with beans,
peas, rice, barley, hominy, or broken bread.
The best meat is the most economical for
soup. Do not buy bones. If you boil
meat to eat, never put it in cold water.
Let it be boiling when you put the meat
in the pot. Do not buy fresh meat q pound
or two at time. Buy quarter or half
sheep. You get it at half price. Beef
or pork by the quarter is quarter cheaper.
Do not buy your bread ready baked. 1t
is sixpence pound more. Dry -four is tho
same. Home made bread is far moro nu

Pennsylvania and Prohibition.

The deep interest which thousands Of
our readers take in the redemption of their
fellow men from the thraldom of intempe-
rance, and the unspeakable Importance Of
removing, by the due exercise of the social
power, the stumbling block which causes
the ruin of myriads, temporarily and eter-
nally, induces us to keep our readers well
informed of the progress which is being
made in the prohibi:ory line. United ac-
ton, on wise and sound principles, is
needed.
The State Committee, at a recent meet
ing in Harrisburg, adopted resolution
which presents some facts and considera-
tions Of Importance. They also appointed
Committee to prepare an address to the
Legislature, and passed vote calling a
Mass Convention at Harrisburg on We'd
nesdoy, the l7m Of January inst. Men
may we'll persevcre in a good cause.

Lottery Revivals.

One hundred -tifty-pcrhaps twenty
years ago, Lotteries were tolerated in most
of the States of the Union, and attempts
we're made, by legal restrictions, safeguards,
and overseers, to make them honest Some
Of the persons who owned and conducted
licensed lotteries, were men who stood
high in the world as respectable citizens,
and, with the sanction of law about them,
they were regarded as honest and even re-
ligious men. But the gradual develop
ment Of the system-its legitimate tenden-
cy-was ere long found to be most injuri-
Gus. ltwas proved that, by some fatality,
the most upright managers" grew rich
4 fast, while others Of them became notori-
Gus villains, and their Offices dens of rob-
berry. ltwas seen that thousands of youth,
instead of following some sure, honest,
useful business, with energy and forecast,
were idling away their time in day dreams
cf splendid fortunes to be gained by turn
$of the wonderful wheel which-by some
happy conjunction for their especial salcs
would eject the three particular Nos
they desired In consecutive order. Gt
mas been proved, by figures, that men
stand more chances of being struck by
hghsning, than of drawing "splendid''
prizes by lotteryD But, worst of ALL 50
seduc'lVe were the hopes implanted in the
Oosoms of the less wise, that an uupovern-
Eable infatuation seized upon thousands.
and the old gave all they could earn or
secure to the Lottery Leeches and clerks.
0urneymen, servant girls, agents, cashiers,
goaded by disappointed hopes, and still
listening to the syren's song, purloincd,

The WAY To BUILD Up A STATE
Governor Grimes, Of Iowa, in his inaugu-
raj address, thus describes the wants Of the
thriving State over which he presides:
"She wants educated farmers and
mechanics, engineers, architects, metallur-
gis:s and geologis's. She needs men en-
gagged iu the practical duties of life, who
have conquered their professions, and
who are able to impart their knowledge
to others. She wants farmers who shall
be familiar With the principles Of chemist
ry as applied to agriculture architects
and mechanics who will adorn her with
edifces worthy of so fair land; and engi-
ueers aud geologsls Who will develop Fer
resources, and thus augment the wealth
and happiness Of her citizens. This want
can only be supplied by the establishments
Of school of applied sciences. l have no
hesitation, therefore, in recommending that
a university fund be appropriated to es:ab.
l;sh practical scientific or pcly;echnio
school"
