NOW OR NEVER !
BY DIR. o. W, HOLMES.

Listen. young heroes your country Is cang
Time strikes the hour for the brave and the truel
Now, while the foremost fighting and falling,
Fill up the ranks that have opened for youl
You whom the fathers made free and defended,
Stain not the scroll that embazOns their famel
You whose fair heritage spotless descended,
Leave nat your children birthright Of shamel
Stay not for questions while Freedom stands gasping
Walt not till Honor lies wrapt in his pail
briei the lips meeting be, swim the hands clasping-
on for the wars Is enough for them all
Break from the arms that would fondy caress yonl
Harkl 'tis the hugle blast sabres are drawn
Mothers shall pray for you, fathers shall bless you,
MaidenA shall weep for you when you are gone -
Never ar now cries the blood Ofa nation
Poured ON the turf where the red should bloom
Now IL the day and the hour " salvation;
Never on nowl peals the trumpet Of doom,
Never nnw the hoars- throatsd cannon
Through the black canopy blotting the sies;
Never or now flaps the shellbas pennnn
oer tho deep ooze where Cumberland liesl
From the foul deus where our brothers are dying,
Aliens and loaH in the land OF their birth,
From the rank swamps where OUT martyrs lying
Pleading In vain for a handful Of earth;
fAnm the hot plains where they perish outuiInLerei
furrowed and ridged with the battle telds plough
Comes the loud summons too long You have slumbeTed

A Few FACTS ABOUT DRAFTlNG.-Every man
between eighteen and forty tive is liable to be
drafted, except lunatics, idiots, and habitual
drunkards These Affections, however must
not be Of sudden requirement, and any man try
ing to come the lunatic dodge will have his head
shaved and execute the rOgue's march with
drum solo accompaniment 1t won't do to go
to New Jersey to escape draft under the i'm
preston that Jersey is ont of the United States,
as II has been annexed since tue war broke out.
Drafting will be done by sort of lottery, in
which every man will hotl ticket, and those
whe draw prizes will Look blank There are no
"gigso on this lottery, but if you should be
drafted into cavalry regiment you would draw
n ,.saddle . If YOU are drawn aud don't want
to 20, You can get off by producing a substitute.
This substitute, for a consideration in cash,
agrees to accept your chances Of getting Shot
and in case he is killed your military response
hili,iea die with him man never knows
now much his life is worth unless he is drawn for
l the militia and has to hire q substitute.

CoNsANduINoUs MARRIAGEs.-The danger of
consanguinous marriages, and their influence in
multiplying deaf and dumb cases among children
is the subject of n paper presented to the Acade
my of Science at Paris by Mr.. Boudin. 1t sup
plies matter for grave consideration. Taking
the whole number of marriages in France, the
consanguinous represent per cent, while the
proportion of deaf and dumb births at Lyons. at
least 25 per cent; at Paris % per cent at Bor-
deaux, 30 per cent. The nearer the consanguini-
ty of parents, the more does this proportion
increase, and if we represent by the danger of
begetting deaf and dumb child from an Ordi-
nary marriage, it would have to be represented
by lo in marriages between cousins-german; by
81 in marriages between uncles and nieces and
by 20 in marriages between nephews and aunts
1t will surprise some readers to hear the subject
is one in which the religious element is involved:
Professionalism is more favorable to consangnin-
Gus marriages than Roman Catholicism is and
il appears by a return from Berlin, that the pro-
portion Of deaf and dumb children in 10000
Catholics in that city was 81 in 10000 Of other
Christian sectE, mostly Protestant, it was 6 and
among Jews, 27 in 10000 A similar result
comes out ip other circumstances. By census
taken in the territory of Iowa in 1910. there
were found 2'3 deaf and dumb in 10000 whites;
212 deaf and dnmb in 10000 blacks (slaves), or
81 times more than among the whites. In this
case, the habits Of the blacks were favorable TO
the increased result. 1t is found that where in-
termarriages is in some sort necessity, from
geographical position, there is au immense
increase in the proportion of deaf and dumb
births, for the whole of France, the proportion
is 6 in 10000; in Corsica, it rises to IA in 10,
00Oi in the High Alps, TO %; in the Canton of
Berne, to %. In Iceland, it is IL. The whole
number Of the deaf and dumb in Europe is est-
mated at 250,0O0; and when we consider that
other infirmities of very serious character,
including idiocy, are distinctly traceable to
consangninous marriages. we are led to inquire,
what are the means by which relatives may be
persuaded not to marry one another? Is itnot-
question which. Social Science Associations
might take up and discuss with advantage?

FEMALE CRIMINALs.-Male criminals'are in-
huenced by some amount Of reason and fore
thought; but the female prisoner flies in the
merry face Of prudence, and acs more often like
q mad woman than rational, rejecting human
being Those who are cunning enough to carry
on, by signs, and looks, and tappings on the
wall, q correspondence with their neighbors, arc
less refractory than those Of less experience in
evading prison rules ] have known many
women, in defiance of day or two's bread and
water, suddenly shout across the airing yard,
or from one cell to another, with n noise all the
more vehement for the long restraint to which
they have been subjected and such proceed
ing, if demonstrated with, is generally followed
by a smashing Of WindOWa, and tearing up of
sheets and blankets, that will often affect half u
ward with a similar. example, If the delinquent
is not speedily carried of to refractory quarters.
1t has long been observed that the force of ex-
ample, in the matter of "hTeakings out" il
sure to be strikingy exemplifedi that for the
sake of change, even, and for that excitement
which appears to be part of their being, without
which they must go melancholy mad, twn or
three women will, in quiet, aggrayating man
ner arrange for o systematic smashing of win-
dows and tearing of sheets and blankets. have
even known women address their matr0ns in n
style similar to the folloWiDg; "Miss c., I'm
going to break out tonight" ooh, nonsense
you wont think Of any such folly, I'm sure. -
Persuasion is generally attempted at first, as
s'breaking our disturbs q whole prison for n
day OF two "Pm sure shall, then " "What
for = "Well, I've made up my mind, that's
what for. shall break out to-night-see if l

anyihing?" "N-hO. But must break out.
It's so dull here. Pm sure to break out. -
Sand then you'll go to the dark" 81 want
to go to the dark" is the answer And the
breaking out often occurs, as promised; and the
glass skaters out of the window-frames, and
strips of sheets and blankets are passed through
or left in a heap in the cell, and the guards are
sent for, and there is a seuflling, and fighting,
and scratching, and screaming, that pandemos
