R0ys out Late at Night.

| have been an observer, as [ am a
sympathising lover of boys. l like to see
them happy, playful and gleesome. In
deed, [ can hardly understand how
high toned, useful man can be the ripen-
ed fruit of boy, who had not enjoyed a
full share of the glad privileges due to
youth. But while l watch with a jealous
eye all rights and customs which entrench
upon the proper rights of boys, 1 am E.
qually apprehensive lest parents who are
not forethoughtful, and who have not ha
bituated themselves to close observations
upon this subject, permit their sons in
dulgences which are almost certain to re-
suit in their generalization, if not in their
total ruin; and among the habits l have
observed tending most surely to their
ruin, [ know of none more prominent
than that of parents permitting their sons
to be in the street after night-fall.
1t is ruinous to their morals in all in
stances. They acquire under the cover
of night, an unhealthful state of mind
bad, vulgar, immoral and profane lang
uage, obscene practices, criminal senti-
ments and lawless and riotous bearing
Indeed, it is in the street after nightfall
that the boys principally acquire their
education of the bad, and capacity for be-
coming rowdy, dissolute criminal men,
Parents should in this particular have a
rigid and infexiblo rule, that will not
permit son, under any circumstances
whatever, to 60 in the streets after night
fall, with view of engaging in out-of-
door sports, or meet other boys for social
chance occupation. Arightrule ofthis kind
invariably adhered to will soon deaden
the desire for such dangerous practices.
Boys should be taught to have pleasures
around the family centre table, in reading,
in conversations, and in quiet amuse-
ments. Boys are seen in the streets after
nightfall behaving in a manner entirely
destructive of all good morals. Fathers
and mothers keep your children in the
house after nightfall, and see that you
take pains to make your homes pleasant,
attractive and profitable to them; and a.
boye all, with view to their security
from future destruction, let them not be-
come while forming their characters for
life, so accustomed to disregard the NOR
al sense of shame as to openly violate the
! Sabbath day in the street pasttimes dur
ing the day or evening hours.

Buckle Swallowed by a Child.

A child of Mr.. Albert Way, one of the
Commissioners of Chester county, IA
months old, recently swallowed buckle,
| such as is commonly used for waistcoat
straps, Il inches in length and one inch
in width. The buckle lodged in its throat
where it remained from the 7th of De-
cember last, until Monday, January 29th
ult., when it was thrown up. The child
had been playing when the accident oc-
CURED, and the attention of the father
was attracted by its efforts to gag it up.
Supposing it had swallowed something,
Mr.. Way examined its throat, but could
not remove anything nor certainly ascer-
tain whether there was any obstruction
or not. The child's face became sufused
and almost discolored. A physician was
called in; and as the scarlet fever had pre-
vailed in the neighborbood and in Mr..
Ways family, the sutferings of the child,
and its difficulty of breathing and swal-
lowing, was ascribed to that disease
The appropriate remedies were ordered
medicines were administered-but all
to no avail; the little fellow continued to
suffer; his days and nights were restless,
his strength departed-he could eat no
solid food, and in his slumbers his breath
ing created whistling noise which dis
tressed all who heard it. Two small
kernels on the neck were treated with
iiniment. and the proper expectorants
were administered to cause the pblegm in
the throat to be thrown up. Still the
kernels continued until Monday, January
90 tn ult., with but little hopes of disap-
pearing. when the child in vomiting sue
ceeded, much to the JOY and surprise Of
his parents, in throwing up the buckle, as
we have stated above. Immediately re-
lief was afforded, and for the first time in
seven weeks, the child was enables to in
du)ge in the luxury of cake, which it ate
with avidity. 1t is now doing well, We
are happy to state The buckle was IN
inch and 4 quarter wide. The buckle
was swallowed on the 18th of December,
and thrown up on the 29th January

Lime Water for Bread.

Liebig, the German chemist, having
made many experiments, rccommen DIS the
making of wheat and rye bread, by using
a pint of lime water to five pounds OF
-four. He urges the abandonment of the
use of salaratus in the raising of bread,
and to substitute therefor pure bakers
yeast and lime water. Cream of tartar
and carbonate of soda are far inferior to
common yeast for making wholesome
bread, says the Scientific Anier'can.-
The lime water is prepared by stirring
some quick lime in cold water, then after
allowing the sediment to settle, draw ii
off, and put it in bottles for use. No care
is required about the quantity of lime, as
the water will imbibe only certain
quantity.

Voluntary Suspension of Vitality.

As 10 the voluntary frances which are
frequently brought in as auxiliary agents
in the exhibitions of the Spiri;ualists, the
following well authenticated fact is ad-
duced by writer in the Northern Brit
ISL Rerjcsc, as showing what the will may
effect over the vital functions, when ex-
erted under certain conditions.
The condition of trance can be induced
by suppressing the respiration and fixing
the mind; and We cannot convey better
idea of it than by giving, after DIR.
Cheyne. of Dublin, the following account
of the case of Colonel Townsend, of Bath,
a gentleman of high and Christian char
acter.
Colonel Townsend could die, or ~ex-
pirc, when 4le pleased; aud yet 10y an ef-
fert. or somehow, he could come 20 life
again. lie insisted so much upon our
seeing the trial made, that we were at
last forced to comply. We all three felt
his pulse FIRST. 1t was clear and distinct,
though small and thready, and his heart
had its usual beating. He composed
himself upon bis back, and lay in still
position for some time, while | held his
right hana Dr. Baynard laid his hand
on his breast, and Mr.. Skrine held a
clean looking-gla>s to bis mouth.
found bis pulse .iuk gradually, till at last
l could not feel any by the most exact
and nice touch
DIR. Baynard could not feel the least
motion of the heart, nor Mr. Skrlne per-
ceive the least sort Of breath on the mir
ror he held to his mouth. Then each ot
US by turns examined his arm, heart, and
breath, but could not, by the incest scrut
my, discover the least symptoms of life
IN him. We reasoned a long time abont
this odd appearance as well as we could
and finding he still continued in that con-
dition, ye began to concludethathe had In
deed carried the experiment too far, ano
at last we were satisfied that he was ac-
tually dead, and were just ready to leave
him. This continued about half an hour
By nine in the morning in autumn, a:
we were going away, We observed some
motion about tie body and, upon exam
inatiop, found bis pulse and the motor
of bis heart gradually returning, he begar
to breathe heavily, and speak softly. We
were all astonished to the last degree al
this unexpected change, and after some
further conversation with him and among
ourselves, went away fully satisfied as tc
all the particulars of this fact. but con.
founded and puzzled, and not able tc
form any rational scheme that might ac.
count for it.
In repeating this remarkable expert.
ment on subsequent occasion, Colonel
Townsend, actually expired.

Mechanics.

mechanics are the palace builders of
the world Not stick was hewn, not
stone was shaped, in all the lordly dwell
ings of the rich, that does not owe its
beauty and fitness to mechanics skill
The spires that raise their giddy heights
among the clouds, depend upon the me-
cbanics' art, for their symmetry; the
thousands of noble ships that cover the
seas of the world; the magnificent steam
ers that plow the Northern Lakes and
Western Rivers; the swift locomotives
that taverse through the States with the
rapidity oflightning, are all the construc-
ton of that nobleSt Of human beings, the
mechanic.
"Not an edifce for devotion, for basI-
ness, for comfort, but bears the impress
of their handiwork. How exalted is their
calling-how noble their pursuit--how
sublime their avocation! Who dares to
sneer at such fraternity of noble, high
minded men Who dares to cast odium
on such an eminent and patriotic race
Their path is one of true glory, ambition
and honor, and it is their own fault if it
does not lead them TO the highest post of
fame and rcnown,'

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier and Enquirer most
truthfully writes
"Had the tariff of 1912 been contin-
ued to this day, instead of the monetary
crisis which has so long afflicted US, We
should at this moment have been the most
fourisbing country on the globe. Not
one dollar of our gold from California
would have left our shores. We would
then have been a creditor instead of o
debtor nation; and the resources of our
country would have been developed be-
yond what it is possible for most men to
imagine. Had the duty on iron and
woolens alone continued as under the
tariff of 1912, we should at this day have
been creditor nation-the price of iron
would have been thirty per cent less
than at present, in consequence of home
competitirn-our woolen manufactures
would have been profitable, fourishing
and constantly on the increase, instead Of
all being closed-and our whole country
would have resounded to the busy hum
of industry; and the merry shouts OF rich
ly rewarded laborers, would have fallen
upon the ear throughout the length and
breadth of the land, instead OF the moar
of poverty and distress which now is
waited to US on every breeze, and rapid
ly gathering to descend with fearful weight
upon the heads of the political gamblers
and schemiDg tricksters, who conceived
and passed the ubiquitous Tariff of '46.

If the Heart is all Right.
By MINNIE MAY.
Should the darts of misfortune
Around you be hurled,
Should the dark flag of fate
Ger our bark be unfnrled
Your brightest hopes vanish,
And day turn to night;
You yet may feel happy,
If the heart is all right.
Should friends all desert you
And those proffered most;
Like the rainbows' vanish,
Their loves but a boast.
Should they leave you forever
Like the me;eor's light;
You'll bc happy without them,
Ii the heart is all right.
Let the foul tongue Of SANDER
Mark you for lis aim;
Let dark deeds OF malice
AsSail your fair name;
Let hatred surround you,
With It's wlthering blight,
Secure they have found you
Ifthe heart IS all right.
Let death and its anguish
Claim you for its own;
Oh, why should you languish
Far away from that home.
The bright land of gladness,
That's free from all night,
Unthought of 6y sadness,
If the heart is all right.

THE New STATE HoUsE.-The Secretary of
State is now engaged in Citing up the Odeon
Hall and AmboS' Hall for the meeting of the
Legislature, New carpets will be laid down.
and every arrangement made so as to render
these halls as comfortable as possible for the
use of the members.
The new State House will not be in readi-
ness for a year to come, judging from the
number Of workmen at present employed
about the building, and the vast amount of
work yet to be done. The plastering Of the
Hall of the House Of Representatives is
about finished, excepting the centre piece.
and the laying of the marble floors has been
commenced. The cost of plastering this
room alone will be about eight thousand
dollars. The State House Commissioners
have run the State in debt, over and above
the appropriations made. about 5000. .O00.-
Not dollar has been paid to the contractors
for the iron work which amounts to S75,-
600; not q dollar to the contractors for
the heating and ventilation Of the building.
amounting to 500, ,000 $3.50 1000 are due on
the marble contract; $4,000 for plate glass
for the windows; $4,000 for chandeliers
and gas fixtures, &c, and so on. The Re-
publican Legislature will find it an uphill
business to pay all these bills, contracted
for by Locofocos, and at the same time re-
duce the taxes.-[O o. S. Jour.

Curious DISCOVERIES IN GUATEMALA-THE
Il EAlAINs OF ANTIQUE CITIEs.-A letter is
given in the New York Tribune, from the
pen of Able Bourbourg, learned French
priest, in which he claims to have discovered
in Guatemala The remains Of various antique
cities of great magnitude and solidity also
some precious monuments Of the languages
and history Of the aboriginal people long an
terror to the arrival of the Spani0rds. What
will be the most surprising to scholars, and
will, doubtless, be received with some incre-
dulitv. is the assertion of NJ. de Bourbourg
that these languages contain undcniabe rel
les Of various scandinavian and Teutonc
tongues, Danish, Swedish, English, and even
some Oriental words are said to be found in
great dstinctness and purity, mingled in the
carly dialects Of The country, while Indian
traditions declare that their ancestors emf
grated from the northeast by sea, through
mist and snow. From these pathological
remains and these traditions, NJ. de BOur-
rourg concludes that there was a migration
into the country from the settlement of the
Mortimer in massachusetts. If true, this
is most interesting contribution to the
history of The American continent, aud the
rublic will wait with impatjcnce for that
more complete account Of it which II. de
Bourbourg intends to lay before the world,
with the documentary evidence sustaining
his conclusions.
