The following relates to nine of the
leading cities of the Old World:

A VERY HARD CAsE.-The New
York Times tells the following:-eAn
enterprising young man in Albany, a
few years ago, who had what he consid-
cred to be valuable medicine, which
he wished to sell for the benefit of man
kind, prevailing upon an old fellow Of his
acc uaintance to join him in the business,
and furnish him with the necessary cap
ital to go ahead with. He came to New
Y ork, and at once entered upon a most
profigate and ruinous course Of adver-
Using, which, at last, excited the alarm
of the old gentleman in Albany who
came down to inspect the accounts of
the concern, and to his utter consterna-
ton he discovered that his prodigal part
ner had spent his entire capital the first
year in advertising. But, examining a
little further, he discovered that he was
entitled to draw out more than five times
the amount ofthe capital he had furnish
ed as his share of the profits. The as
constituent of the poor old gentleman
proved too much for him, for he went
home and died in fit. Ifmerchants do
not want to etrich too fast they should
be careful not to advertise.

VISIONS failed us again: which together with
the fatigues of rowing, caused old father Gabriel
to faint away in such manner that I veril y
thought he could not live. However brought
him again to his senses by means of some con-
lection of hyacinth, which found very useful in
our voyage. We had no other subsistence but
handful of Indian corn once in every four and
twenty hours, which we roasted or else boiled
in water, and yet we rowed almost every day
from morning till night. Our men found some
Hawthorn berries and other wild fruit, which
they eat so greedily that most of them fell sick,
and were thought to be poisoned. Yet the more
we suffered, the more by the grace of God was
strong and vigsrous, SO that 1 conld out row all
our other canoes.
Being in that distress, He that takes care OF
the meanest creatures, afforded us an unexpec-
ted relief. We saw upon the coast a great
many ravens and eagles; from whence we con-
;ectu"ed that there was some prey and having
landed OH that place, we found above the half of
a fat wild Goat which the wolves had strangled
This provision was very acceptable to us, and
the rudest of our men could not but praise the
Divine Providence, who took so particular care
OF us.
Having thus refreshed ourselves we contin-
ued our voyage directly to the southern parts of
the Lake, finding every day the country finer
and the weather more temperate. On the 10th
of October we met with abundance of game
Our Savage killed several Stages and wild goats
and our men great many Turkey cocks, very
fat and big, wherewlth we provided ourselves
for several days and SO embarked again. On
the 18th we came TO the father end of the Lake
where we landed. Our men were Immediately
sent to view the country round about the place
and found great quantity of wild grapes each
grain of WEIGH was as big as a damascau We
feled several trees to gather them and mad e
pretty good wine, wkich we kept in gourls and
buried in sand to prevent its growing sour. All
the trees in that country are loaded with vines,
which if cultivated would make as good wine
as any in Europe.
X y
November the LIST, we emparked on the Lake
Of the Illinois and came by the mouth of the
Miamis, which runs from the South and falls in
to the Lake.

Having been detained few DAYS at
Detour, on the st. Mary river, I found
the opportunity to read HENNIpINs work
discoveries on the great Continent of
America" one chapter (which copied
and send you for publication if you shall
deem it of sufficient interest to your
readers. The voyage here described by
Hennipin, was performed in the fall of
1878, La Sale had command of the
expedition, but Hennipin accompanied
1t. and was its HISTORIAN. But two copy's
OF Hennipins work are now in print.
The preceding chapter in the book
relates to their voyage from Mackinaw
to Beaver Island, their trades with the
Indians for furs while at the Beaver
Island' and to the account Of the de-
spatch hence of their furs to Montreal.
What follows, copied from the work,

The BLooMER Dress REFoRMERs. -
A correspondent of the Davenport Ga
&ette, writingfrom Cortandville, Cortland
County, N. Y, June 3oth, says:
Last Thursday and Friday, the Ma
tlonal Dress Reform Association held
its third Annual Convention at this
place. There were about one hundred
and fifty persons present in Bloomer
costume, and lawyers, doctors, profess
ors, 1itors, ETC., participated in the do
ings. | believe some eight or ten diff
terent States were represented. Just
think Of it-one hundred and ffty
" B(oonaerS" together! They were of
every age, from childhood to grey hairs
-homely, handsome; smart, stupid !;
tall, short enthusiastic, deliberate !;
tasty, slovenly. There seemed to be
three leading patterns of the Bloomer
pants one stile was loose, in the sailors
fashion; another was the full Turkish
style gathered in ruffle about the an
kle; and still another was close, tight
legs, like some of your shanghai dan
dies occasionally get on. The length
of skirts ranged from two to three inch
es above the ankle, to as much above
the knee and there was just as much
variety in the materials, trimmings, and
tasteful arrangement of the entire dress,
as you may find in any gathering of
Women. Silks, calicoes, velvets, lawns,
linnens, delaines, alpacas, ginghams-
in fact, almost every fabric, and every
figure of fabric, might be found there.
Nearly all of them wore their hair cut
short about the neck, like school girls,
with various style of hat trimmed to the
wearers taste and walked in CATERS,
slippers, boots, kips, etc, as the case
might be.

wherein with quarter slaves, or spears,

poetry enacted into a grand drama by
a New England Saxon woman who
TRANSPORTED his thoughts to life, teach

why Dom, You Take the Papers.
BY N. P. WILLIS.


Why don't you take the papers?
They're The life ofmy delight
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe you cannot lose a cent
Why should you be afraid?
For cash thus paid is money lent
On interest, four fold paid.
An old newspaper friend of mine,
While dying from a cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going off.
took the paper, and read
OF some good pills in force,
He bought a box--and is he dead?
No-hearty as horse,
knew printers debtor once,
Baked with scorehing fever,
Who swore to pay her debt next day,
If her distress would leave her
Next day she was again at work
Divested other pain,
Bnt did forget to pay the debt
Till taken down again.
Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels
Go pay the printer now l''
She spoke, she slept and then awoke
Wi h health upon her brow
knew two men as much alike
AS e'er you say two stumps,
And no phrenoogist could find
difference in their bumps.
One took the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings
His children can all read and write,
And talk OF men and things.
The other took no papers, and
While struggling through the wood;
tree fell down upon his crown
Aud killed him ''werry good.n
Had he been reading of the news
At home like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Not from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow of his boy
paper every week
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bill when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

EE Merriam says that men struck by
lightning should not be given up as
dead for at least three hours. During
the first two hours they should be
drenched freely with cold water, and if
this fails to produce restoration, then
add salt and continue the drenching for
another hour.

EFFECT OF OLD PERSONS SLEEPING
WITH YoUNG.-A habit which is consid-
erably prevalent in almost every family,
of allowing children to sleep VITA older
persons, has ruined the nervous vivaci-
ty and physical energy of many prom
Using child. Those having dear old
friends, whose lives they would like to
perpetuate at the sacrifice of their inno-
cent offspring, alone should encourage
his evil; but every parent who loves
his child, and wishes to preserve to him
sound nervous system, with which to
buffet successfully the cares, sorrows;
and labors oflife, must see to it that his
nervous vitality is not absorbed by some
diseased or aged relative.
Children, compared with adults, are
electrically in positive condition. The
rapid changes. which are going on in
their little bodies, abundantly generate
and as extensively work up vital nervo-
electric fluids. But when, by contact
for long nights, with elder and negative
persons, the vitalizing electricity of their
tender organizations is absorbed, they
soon pine, grow pale, languid, and dull,
while their bed companions feel a cor
responding inyigoration. King David,
the Psalmist, knew the effects of this
practice, and when he became old, got
certain young persons to sleep with him,
that his days might be heightened. DR..
Hufeland, the German Psychologist, at
tributes the frequent longevity of school
teachers to their daily association with
young persons.
Invalid mothers often prolong their
existence by daily contact with their
children. lonce knew woman, who,
by weak lungs and mineral doctors, had
been prostrated with incurable con
sumption. Her infant occupied the
same bed with her almost constantly,
day and night. The mother fingered
for months on the verge of the grave her
demise being hourly expected Still
she fingered on, daily disproving the
predictions of her medical attendants.
The child, meanwhile, pinned without
any apparent disease. It's once fat lit
tie checks fell away with singular rapid
ity, till every bone in it's face was visi-
BILE. Finally it had impaired to the
mother its last spark Of vitality, and 81

MONEY AND HEALTH.-There is this
difference between those two temporal
blessings, health and money. Moneyis
the most envied, but the least enjoyed.
Health is the most enjoyed, but the least
enyied; and this superiority of the lat
ter is still more obvious; when we reflect
that the poorest man would not part
with health for money, but that the rich
est would gladly part with all their mo-
ney for health.-Folton.
