A HOME WITHOUT A DAUGHTER.

home without girl in it is only half blest; IL Is
an orchard without blossoms and a spring without
song. house full Of sons is like Lebanon with its
cedars but daughters by the fresde are like the rose
in Sharon.
Well may tho daughter of the household be
compared to the apple-blossoms, spring songs
and the roses of Sharon. When she is there,
the eye and the eur Of those who love her are
satisfied; when she departs, she carries with
her the golden treasures that she was wont to
dispense
Boys may not lack affection, but they may
lack tenderness. They may not be wanting in
inclination to contribute their quota TO the Para
disc of Homo, but they may be wanting in the
ability to carry out their inclination. The son
of a household is like a young and vigorous sap
ling-thc daughter is like a fragile vine. Their
natures are dtferent-their constitutions, tenn
permanent, tastes, habits, are different We may
not love Caesar less if we love Rome more
We know of home which once rcjoiced in
the sunny smiles and the musical accents of FL
only daughter She was lovely chid-wo-
manly beyond her years
"Ful Of gentleness, of calmest hope,
or sweet and quiet joy"
The child never breathed who evinccd more f.
fectionate reverence, or more reverential alice
ton for her parents than did she. Instead o..
waiting for their commands, she anticipated them
instead Of lingering until they made kuown
their wishes, she studied their wishes out.
Morning broke not in that household until shs
swoke,-the night was not dark until her eyes
were closed. How they loved her her father
and her mother; and Of how many blessed pie
lures Of the future was she the subject. g 1t is
u fearful thing that Love and Death dwell in tho
same world" says Mrs. Hemans. Fearful /"
it is maddcning-it is truth that is linked
with despair.
Suddenly, like thief in tho night, there came
a messenger from Heaven for the child, saying
that the Lord had need Of her. She moekly
bowed her head-breathed out her little lifs-
and at midnight "went forth to meet the bride
groom" The last minute of the last hour OF
the last day of the month was hallowed by her
death. She went, and came back no more
Years have worn away since then, but still
there is agony in the household whose sun went
down when she'departed. The family circle is
incomplete--there is no daughter there! The
form that once was hers reposes amid the congo
NAL charms of nature and of art; they have
made the place of her rest beautiful. If tho
grass grows RANK upon her grave, it is because
it is kept wet with tears.
OF truth, "A homo without girl in it is on
ly half blest; it is an orchard without blossoms
and spring without song. A house full Of
sons is like Lc6a5on with its cedars, but daugh-
ters by the fireside are like roses in Sharon.

DISAPPEARANCE OF WoMAN.-Punch thus ex-

"There are no women nowadays Instead

vertising van that slides along with rustling
sound, and you are told that this is woman !:

what it is, beyond something that looks like an

goods in it exposed for sale. really believe, II
any Snowman would open an exhibition, where
one could see woman such as women were in
my young days when they used to be fair, slim,

fine clothes as they now are, really believe that
an enterprising Snowman like that would rapid

The Detroit Free Press tells pretty good rat
story. A young and inexperienced fellow ran
up board which rested on the edge of tub
halffull of water, and while attempting to drink,
fell in. Of course, he had no chance Of getting
out, which an enormous old and sagacious rat
perceivng made some frantic efforts to reach
and claw him out. These having failed, howev-
or, he fairly turned tail, and setting his claws
firmly into the board, extended his caudal ap
pendage down into the water, thus forming d
means of escape which the rat in the water
quickly availed himself Of

DR.. Watts says we are struck with the peculiar
funnel-shaped ladies we meet the present fash

base, aad gradually drawing to point at the
apex. This makes every woman a pyramid

CRIME AND MARRIAGr.-The Chaplain of the
Surry county Jail communicates to the London
Times certain criminal statistics, which show
several instructive facts, and one of rather un-
expected character 1t appears that of 1857
prisoners, only $40 were married, and these had
an average of less than three children each,
showing at once the humanizing tendency of the
marriage relation, and also that its responsible
ties deter, far more than its burdens and diff
culties provoke, the criminal incinations Of the
middle classes. A remarkable evidence is also
presented in opposition to the ordinary opinion
that want is leading cause of crime. The COM
initials in July and August, when tho days are
longest, employment most plentiful, weather
most favorable, and food cheapest, actually out
number those of Che severe and distressing
months Of December and January.

CHINESE MORALITY. -Bayard Taylor, who;
from his general acquaintance with the nations
of the world, and his quick insight into charac-
ter may be considered an intelligent judge,
gives a deplorable account of Chinese morals.
lie thinks they occupy the lowest point in the
scale of morals:
:" 1t is my deliberate opinion that the Chinese
are morally the most debased people on the face
OF the earth Forms of vice which, in other
countries are barely named, are in China so
common that they excite no comment among
the natives. They constitute the surface level,
and below them there are deeps on deeps of de-
pravity so shocking and horrible that their char
acter cannot even be limited. There are some
dark shadows in human nature which we natu-
rally shrink from penetrating, and made no at
tempt to collect information Of this kind but
there were enough in the things which could
not avoid seeing and bearing-which are
brought almost daily to the notice of every for;
cign resident-to inspire me with an aversion to
the Chinese race. Their touch is pollution, and
harsh rs the opinion may seem, Justice to our
own race demands that they should not be al
lowed to settle on our soil. Science may have
lost something, but mankind has gained by the
exclusive policy which has governed China dur;
ing the past centuries.

MURDER CASE WITH pleasant TERMINA-
ToN.-The people of Detroit have been much
excited about murder said to have been COM
mitted near Brownstown. 1t was alleged that
a peddler was murdered at house where he re-
NAMED over night, and three women were ar
rested. The examination took place at Detroit,
and it was in testimony that bones were found
in barrel, and blood, with human hair In it,
was seen in various places about the house.
The case had been fully investigated, and the
counsel were about summing up the testimony,
when Dutchman rose in the audience, and pro-
tested against the sheep bones and horse hair
which had been produced as evidence Of MUIR
der, being taken to represent his own body, as
he was the identical peddler who was supposed
to have been murdered. II was fortunate for
the fLree women that the man was forthcoming
u the right time.
