Home Example.

The virtues that nations exalt and adorn.
All spring from the home and the hearth,
And there, like linnet that sings to the morn
The sweet cheruh, Love, has its birth;
Domestic weird sisters our destiny weave,
And stamp US for woe or for veal
And the worlds future workers each impress re
ceive,
As true as the wax to the seal.

may or may not be blessed with peace, but we

SUSPENDED LIFE.-A scientific German publ
cation states that among other curiosities, Dr.
Grusselback, professor.of chemistry at the Uni
versity of Upsala, has little serpent which, al
though rigid and frozen as marble, can by the
aid of a stimulating aspersion, discovered by
the Doctor, be brought to life in few minutes,
becoming as lively as the day it was captured,
now some ten years ago DR.. Grusselback has
discovered the means of benumbing and reviying
it at his pleasure. If this principle can only be
carried out on man as well as reptiles death
would lose its empire over mankind, and we
should preserve life as mummies were preserved
by the Egyptians. Dr. Grusselback's process is
nothing more, apparently than simply lowering
the temperature just to that point where the cold
produces a torpor without injuring any ofthe It's
sues. In this state the body is neither dead nor
alive-It is torpid. The professor has laid his
scheme before the Swedish Government and
proposes that condemned criminal shall be
handed to him for the purpose of experiment.
The Doctor purposes, he can only gethis man,
to benumb him as he benuWbs his little serpent,
for one or two years, and then toresuscitate him
from apparent death by his GspersioH stimulate.

arrived. The arrangements for their recep-
tion here are very complete and crcditable to

Considerable dissatisfaction Is experienced
in various parts Of the State, because large
number Of recruits enlisted in va
riors counties, are not credited
to tie counties where enlisted. The truth is,
that reeruiting officers without any authority
from the officials here, take the liberty OF
transferring their recruits to counties where
1argc bountics are paid, aud report them Us
having been enlisted In their coun-
ties. The State and Government authorities
