How Bodies are EmbaImed.

BY embalming, people generally are apt
to imagine that the modern process consists
of saturating, filling and surrounding the
dead body with spice, gums and other in
destructible and preservative substances, as
is understood to have been the process prac-
ticed by the ancients. Such, however, is
not the case The modern process is about
as follows The blood is drawn off through
the jugular vein An incision is then made
upon the inside of the thigh, through
which chemical liquid is injected by me-
chanical means. This permeates all the
veins and arteries, taking the place before
occupied by the blood, and a short time rem
ders the body as hard as stone and as rigid
as a statue. A portion Of the scalp is re-
moved and the brain scooped out. The
chest is opened and the heart, ldngs and
viscera are distracted. When the process
is completed, the body is reduced to a mere
empty shell, having only the outward sem.
blance of the departed individual How
long body thus prepared will remain un-
changed we cannot say. The process has
only been employed for a few years-since
the war commenced, we believe-so that
time enough has not elapsed to test the in
destructibility of bodies thus prepared.
President Lincoln's body was embalmed
by this process.

Pearls.


When men are long Indifferent toward us
we grow Indifferent to their Indifference
The passion of acquiring riches in order
to support vain expense, corrupts the pur.
est heart.
We should not forget that life is flower
which is no sooner fully blown than it be-
gins to wither
People should remember that it is only
great souls that know how much glory there
is in doing good.
There is chord of love running through
all the sounds of creation, but the ear Of
love alone can distinguish it.
Correction does much, but encourage
ment will do more. Encouragement after
censure is like the sun after shower.
Fervent love utters loving words in the
dissolution of the body, as the melting bell
in the burning steeple continues to sound
out the hours.
When Ounces call us fools without prov
ing us to be SO, our best retort is to prove
them to be fools without condescending to
call them so.

An Unkind Tear.

When / was clerking at the "Regulator, D
in Buffalo, the old gentleman came round
one day and said:
Boys, the one that sells the most be-
tween now and Christmas gets vest pattern
as present"
Maybe we didn't work for that vest pat
tern tell you there were some tall sto-
ries told in praise of goods just about that
time. More cheek than any of us had a
certain Billy A, who roomed with me.
He could take dollar out of any mans
pocket, when he intended to spend only a
sixpence; and the women-Lord bless
you they just handed their pocket books
to him, and let him lay out whatever he
liked for them. One night Billy got to
work for that vest pattern in his sleep, and
woke me up with:
"By Josh, old fellow, that will become
you nicely; it's the best article we have in
the store better let me sell it to you Cot
ton If you think there is any cotton in it
I'll bring down the sheep it was cut from
and make him swear to his own wool =
Twon't wear out either; wore a pair of
pants of that kind of stuff myself whole
year, and they're as good now as when
| first put 'em on ! Take it at thirty cents,
and III say you don't owe me anything.
Too dear, eh Well, call it twenty-eight
cents to you. What say? Shall l tear it?
All right-it's bargain.
1 could feel Billy's hands playing about
the bedclothes for an instant, then rip, rip,
tear, went something or another, and hid
my head under the blankets, perfectly con-
vulsed with laughter, and was sure that
he had torn the old sheet from to top to bot
tom.
When I awoke next morning, l found
alas unkindest tear of all-that the back
Ofmy shirt was split from tail to collar
band. Billy won the prize and had my
shirt sowed up

BALsAM OF WEDLooK.-Th Arabs have
wise practice in proceeding for divorce.
When married people seek a separation, the
Cadi orders them to live for some time with
a discreet and austere man of the tribe that
the latter may examine their life and see on
which side the blame lies. The elderly
man makes a report at the appointed time,
and this report is the foundation on which
the Cadi builds judgment of divorce. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that there is no
better method Of restoring peace in families.
The husband and wife put thus upon their
good behavior resume the manner of court
ing days. Each strives to be more amiable
than the other, to convince the Elder of
Israeli that it is not this ones fault if the
honeymoon changed its quarter Old love
is awakened, and the pair that went to the
approved mans tent, snarling like cat and
dog return home cooling like doves.

Never Look Sad.

Never look sad, nothing so bad
As citing familiar with sorrow;
Treat him to-day in a cavalier way,
And he'll seek other quarters tomorrow.
Long you'd not weep could you but peep
At the bright side of each trial
Fortune you'd find is often most kind
When chilling your hopes with denial.
Let the sad day carry away
Its own little burden Of sorrow,
Or you may miss half of the bliss
That comes in the lap of tomorrow.
