A WINE BATH.

A PlEASANG IrEI FOR Lovers OF
CmAnpAGNn-An american traveller
ia the streets OF Paris, seeing the
words, "Winc baths give here" cx-
claimed:
"Wcll, these French are a luxurious
people" Then, with true Yankee Gu
riosiiy, and feeling that he could
afford what any ono else did, walked
in and demanded IL wine bath"
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after
it, and having to pay but five francs,
he asked, in some astonishmcnt, how
u wine bath could be given so cheap
Iy. His sable attendant who had
been Il slave in Virginia, ard enjoyed
II sly bit of humor. replied: "Oh, mas,
sa, we jest pass it along into annud-
der room; where we give baths at
four francs"
Then you throw it away, | sup
pose"
mo, massa den we send it lower
down, and charge three frames q
bath" Oars plenty Of people WHO
aint so very particular, who will
batha in it after this at two francs Il
head. Den, massa, we let the com
mon people battle in it at one franc
apiece
"Vhcn, Of course, you throw it
away" exclaimed the traveller, who
thought this was going even beyond
Yankee profit.
mo, indeed, massa,' was the in
dignant reply, accompancdby by a pro-
found bow; "no. indeed, massa, we
are not so 'stravagant as dat comes
to; we bottles it up den, and sends it
to 'Merica for Champagne"

THE LAW OF LOVE.

"I'wo girls, supposed to be sisters,
Jumped over and sank Kissing each
other. 4 missionary and wife leaped
into the sea together and the stew
ardcss aud assistant stewart, arm in
arm followed. One hungarian, with
seven children, four Of them girls,
made his wife jump in, then blessed
his six eldest children, made them jump
in one after the other, and followed
them with an infant in his own arms"
Such is the story Of one who wit
messed the thrilling scenes on board
the .ill.lated Austria.
And such is the law Of love-
When the Spartan mother saw that
the Lacndcmonian heroes must be
conquered. she first stabbed her babes
to the heart and then threw herself
from the gddy precipice. When Vir-
gnius saw that his daughter must be
polluted, he buried his dagger in her
breast and then threw himself in the
van of Tarquin's enemies.
Such is the fearful, but beautiful
spasm of holy love, when the highest
and tenderest emotions are linked
with the kcencst agony Of the most
utter despair.
They kissed and died, and arm in
arm the cold waves swept over hearts
whose last beat was the beat Of love
and they will awake on the judg-
mcnt day with the impress upon them
that was left in the death embrace.
Was there not beautiful poetry in
this horrid tragedy OF the burning
steamer

TOP ACCO.


From an article in DR.. ChildS' last
Watcr-Cure Journal, we extract the
following interesting item:
There is, however, one fact connected
with the history of to bacco, in our own
country, which am unwilling TO pass
over in silence. In the year 1920, when
the colony at Jamestown, in Virginia,
had been established about thirteen years,
a great want was felt Of female aid, net
only to soften the asperlty of manners in
a society composed wholly OF males, but
to give stability to the colony, by encour.
aging the domestic or family institution,
Ninety females, of respectable character,
(as far as oppears,) but of humble for,
tune, were imported from England, and
sold 10 the planters at jamestown, for
wives, at the rate Of 1910 lbs. of tobacco,
valued at fifty cents a pound, for each
individual so purchased, During the
next year, 1921, sixty or seventy more
were sent over and sold FOR the same
commodity, but the price had been adj
vanced by the London Company 10 $50
lbs. head. The first slavery, therefore,
in Virginia was the slavery Of whites, Of
the wife to her husband and The first ex'
portalion Of tobacco was for this singular
purpose Of purchasing companions for
