About So High.


BIT MRS. HoYT.
Once there was little boy,
Just about SO high.
Now I'm not a.going to tell you
How. to know this boy, came
Where he lived, or what his name
IL his age was Ave or four,
Six whole years, or seven. or more.
Nor do intend to tell you
1.-The got up late or early
Ifhis hair was straight or curly
Black or blue his eye.
Needn't ask, shall not tell you,
II he wore hat or cap
Liked whistle best, or kite,
Knife to cut, or whip TO snap,
Or a pocket full of marbles,
Red and green and blue aud white;
Only this much will tell yon-
lie was just about 80 high,
Ahd=-he nsusr told lie.
Little boys who read this story,
Orwho hear IL read,
Do you know there's One who sees you.
Morning, noon. and night the sameP
Knsws where you live, and what your name
Knows your age, and how you're dressed?
And what you like TO play with besE
One who always is so near you,
That he hears whate'er you say?
Heard last week and yesterday
Every word you said7
God, the Good, who dwells above you
God, who made the hills aud trees,
Made the fields, and made the flowers,
Little fishes, birds and bees,
And the day, so warm and bright,
Where you play long, happy hours
He II is who knows and loves YOU,
Ifyou are that little boy
Who nspsr told a lie.

A MEXICAN CfTY.-A passenger by the over
land Pacific mail gives his impressions of the
Mexican city Messila in New Mexico as fol-
lows:
"We left franklin at 5, IS a. m., on Thurs
day the 30th, for Messilla. our route leading
through the valley of the Rio Grande and the
Messilla, which are always known as fertile,-
Six miles further on We came TO Messilla-but not
the Msssilla which had pictured in my imagi-
nation as the thrifty town of fertile valley
True, the fields were groaning with the weight
of heavy crops, the dykes or irrgating canals
were abundant, and the soil had every appear
ance of being capable of producing anything
that the wants of man might desire or his labors
bring forth but the people, mostly Mexicans,
were squalid and dirty,-the houses were built
of adobe and sticks, looking more like miserable
dog kennels than human habitatons on the
outskirts Of city. The people seemed to luxH-
rate in the filth, and bssked in the sun with all
the complacency of over-fed animals. How DIFF
terent. thought, would be this valley were it
peopled by few of our steady eastern farmers;
/ could not but conclude that Providence knew
just the right place to put the lazy men to keep
them lazy and the Industrious ones to keep them
industrious. Here is vast valley, whose soil
will yield, but for the planting, two crops
year; and yet il does not bring forth tithe of
its productiveness, because its people are. lazy
and indolent and prefer to live in mud houses
and bask in the sunshine when, by little labor,
they might live in palaces with eastern magnifi.
cence. In Messils city the houses are a little
better than on the outskirts. There are about
5000 inhabitants. and never saw such mis-
cradle set OF people in my life. A few specuIa-
ting Yankees live here, and are making fortunes
rapidly, BY their enterprise in keeping stores.-
They get what prices they please for what
goods they please. Lumber is $500 per thous
and feet, and everything else in proportion, ex-
cept grain and hay, which are comparatively
cheap. But the people are obnoxious to the
view, and was as glad to get out of Messilla as
/ had been anxious to get into it,"

Tobacco and Tin Foil.

Within few years, fine cut tobacco, put up
in tin foil wrappers, has come into general use.
1t is now asserted, and with severe experience
to support it, that the Tin foil has dangerous
poisonous qualities. No cases that have just
arisen are calculated to give a general celebrity
10 this belief. Police Justice Bragg, of Detroit,
and prominent citizen of Cincinnati, have
been attacked by severe strokes Of paralysis in
duced, as the physicians declare, by the poison
ous influence oe the tin foIl used by tobacco
vendors, If this Judgment is sound, we may ex-
pect to see at once general abolition OF the use
OF the article.
The above appears in many of our exchanges
and the 0riginators and copyers do not seem tc
Know the fact that there is infinitely more pois
on in one package of tobacco than in the tin
foil that surrounds hundred. s-ssIf anybody
doubts this, let them hold sheet of white papei
over the smoke that curs up from burning to-
bacco, and after pipe full or cigar has been
devoared, scrape the condensed smoke from the
paper and put very small amount on the
tongue of cat, and they will see her die by
"strokes of paralysis in fifteen minutes.
Nothing is more common cause Of pa aray ysis
than the poison of tobacco, while the numerous
forms of heart disease are often rendered incura-
BILE by the common use Of it. We have seen
cases Of delirium tremens from smoking tobac-
co, as real ly and as dangerous as from drinking
alcoholic liquors. Nicotine is the active prn-
ciple in tobacco, and the most deadly poison in
the world, except prussic acid. BY the side Of
this, the poison of tin foil sinks into insignii-
cance. "Police Justice Bragg and prominent
citizen in Cincinnati mly have brought OF
is no p,o5aoi.,ty that tin foil added TO the vir-
uence Of that poison.-ED. TMEs.-Chestcr Co.

EXPLOSION OF METALLIC CorrIN.--A few
years have served to bring into extensive use for
burial purposes the now common metallic cases
or collins, especially whenever it is desirable or
necessary to delay the interment. When first
introducad, it was the practice to exhaust the
air in these cases after the body had,been put in
to secure them fully, il was said, against change
by contact with the atmosphere. For various
reasons this practice has fallen into dsuse, the
only precautions now taken being to complete
y cool the remains before sealing up the case
From some neg'ec IN this latter respect, a cir
cumstance took place not long ago, which origi-
mating here. is worth relating, The case con
tanning an adult. who had suddenly died while
apparently in good health, was sealed up to b.
sent for inerment TO a neighborng State. The
conveyance for huf days ride was by rail
road, and then b. wagon for 30 niles. The day
was warm and the road rough, and much mo-
ton wss doubtless given to the remains. The
persons in charge stopped at a tavern, and were
in the house, when they, as we'll as all in the vi
cinity, were startled by II very loud report and
it was found that the burial case had by rapid
generation of gas, exploded with violence. en-.

Nothing could be done but to seek hasty inter-
