GLANCE


The world has changed since a boy;
Lived in it long ago.
The difference what 'twizt now and then
I'd surely like to know,
The fields look bright and green as then
The birds sing quite as gay,
Yetsurely there is something wrong
But what, I cannot say.
The woods are clothed in serdurc bright;
Sweet fragrance fills the airy
Where'er look all Nature teens
With beauty rich and rare,
The herds are feeding op the hills,
The iambkins skip and play,
Yet something wrong, there surely is,
But what, cannot say.
The humming-bird on pinions swift
Flies to each nectared bower,
And as of yore, in eagsrness
Sips dew from eveD flower.
The butterfly, on spangled wings
Fits by the same to-day,
Yet still there's something all awry
But what, cannotsay.

Which knew me When a child,
[ see the same old house and barn,
But gaze in wonder Wild
They look the same-she very same
As in my childhdod's S day,
Yet something wpng I see it plain,
But what, I cannot say.
All yes, kaoe, my youth has fed,
My tastes are different now,
Wen, be it SO, I'm growing old,
At Times behes I bow,

Ny beard is mixed with grey,

TOBACCO AND INSANITY. The Paris
correspondent of the London Star says: Il
mentioned lately the frighdul increase Of
mental alienation and paralysis ofthe brain
in France. 1t has been proved that this in
crease Of Iunaey has kept pace with the aug
mentation of the revenue from tobacco. =
From the year 1872 to 1882 that tax pro-
duced 2S millions, and the lunatic asylums
of the country contained 5000 patients. =
the tobacco revenue has now reached the
sum Of lS0 millions, and there are no less
than A. 900 paralytic and lunatic patients in
the various hospitals devoted to their ac-
commodation This parallel has been
drawen BY NJ Jolly aud laid before the Aca-
DENY Of Science. The last words of his
speech on that occasion are worth recording,
in this age of universal smoking, and young
/ boys to whom this pernicious practice has
not yet become second nature, would do well
to reflect, ere too late, on the trightful warn
/ inc the above statistics contain, as well ds
on N Jolly's words. He says: The
iulmoderate use of tobacco and more especi-
ally Of the pipe produces weakness in the
brain and in the spinal marrow which causes
madness

APAPAL DECLARATION AGAINST Toll
GRAFTON. lie Memorial Diplomateque
publishes the correspondence between the
Papacy and the Emperor Maximillian upon
the subject of his recent DEGREES. The drift
of the Papal reply, which is dated 9Th of
March, was known before, but the text con-
tains two points of interest; distinct threat
that the recall Of the Nuncio will not be the
last measure adopted by the Pope against
the Mexican Government, and distinct
assertion that Rome viii never consent, and
has never consented to liberation. The Ho-
" Chair, writes the Cardinal Secretary, even
in dealing with Governments in ruling over
! mixed faiths, ahas never recognized equal
federation in principle, but has striven only,
wherever toleration existed, defdcto to Sc
cure guarantees that it should not do any
harm to the Catholic religion. Consequent
", should the Church, say in Ireland or Pru-
sia, gettheupper hand, Protestantism would
in principle cease to be tolerated, which
is worth knowing.

ALL ABOUT DIMPLEs. -Dimples are the
perpetual smiles of Nature-the very
cunningest device and lurking place of Love
When earth is dimpled by dells and valleys,
it always seems to laugh; when the ocean is
dimpled by the breeze, it sparkles with joy
beneath the sunshine of heaven. We can
not look for frdwns on dimpIed face frow-
rs and dimples will not associate together.
How soft how roguish, how beautiful are
the dimples in the elbows and shoulders, the
pretty hands and feet of the rosy babe
Mothers dote upon those darling dimples,
and delight to kiss them, But perfect
dimples, enchanting at least to the eyes of
an enthusiastic young man, are those which
come ,peeping out of the cheeks around the
mouth of the sweet seventeen, when
sweet seventeen essays some arch provoking
sally, peeping out and flying away the mo-
ment after, coming and going with the most
bewltching coquetry.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.


Come all you young Americans;
Pm going for TO sing
A song that will the briny tears
Upon your cheek-bones bring,
1t is about the President
JEFF. Davis and his wife,
How JEFF put ON her petticoats
To save his precious life.
The tenth of May. year sixty-fiye,
We came upon D. D.,
Near Irwinsyills, Ge-or- gi-a,
A. NJ, and nearly 3.
J. D.. was sleeping soundly, when
We dashed into his camp:
His wife did straightway waken him
To start him on tramp.
'My DEAR she cried, "my bonnet take,
My corsets and my shawl,
My underclothes and balmoral,
Hoop skirt and fan-take all. :"
As quick as thought JEFF. donned the things
And now woman he,
Of stalwart frame, majestic pace,
From head down to his knee
For sad to say. d., was tall
While Mrs. D., was not,
And as he ran, they saw his boots
And so ]. D. caught.
He brandish-ed Bowie Knife,
Ofmanufacture rare
And Mrs. d. through loyalty,
Exclaimed: 80 men, take care"
81 warn you all--you know him not
O take his knife away
He'll surely hurt a few of you:
Beware the stag at bay"
They took away his bloodless knife,
Those laughing soldier men,
And thus they took '1good care of him.,
OF chivalry the gem.
And now the rumor quickly flies
do not say it-mind
That Jefferson, in womens clothes,
Has just been confined.
John Brown was hanged because he broke
The laws, the blacks to free
Poetic justice JEFF. must grace
"a sour apple tree"
Now, glory to the Northern arms
Hurrah for Pritchard brave
Ten thousand cheers for U. S. Grant
One hiss for JEFF the knave.
How DO You LIKE 1T, JEFFERSON 9-As OLD
SONG WITH NEW MEANING.
Oh. how do you like it, asfar as you've got2
Jefferson d Jefferson d
Are you glad You began it, or dye wish YOU had
not?
Jefferson, Jefferson D
People say, Though, Of course, don't know that
it's so,l
That your spirits are getting decidedly low.
And you're sick and discouraged, and don't knoN
what,
But say, though, do you like it as far as you've
got
o. hoi Jefferson ID
Things look rather shabby, now, 'twixt yon and
OF no jefferson d
And what do you think Of that sour apple tree
AN OLD MAXIM REVERSED.
"Et arma cedunt tog@,"
Said Roman Of renown---
alFhen the din Of war is over
Arms yield unto the goWn!"
But this motto JEFF. reverses j
For, arrayed in female charms
When the din of war is over,
In his gown he yields to arms

MARRYING FOR SHOW. I'm the following
we find displayed a volume of honest and
wholesome good sense. Put pin here, y
good swains and lovers.
To the question often asked of young
men why they do not marry, we sometimes
hear the reply, | am not able to support s
wife. In one case in three, perhaps, this
may be so; but, as general thing, the true
reply would be, i am not able to support
the style in which think my wife ought to
live. In this again We see false view of
marriage, a looking to an appearance in the
world, instead of union with a loving wo-
There are very few men, of industrious
habit, who can not maintain wife, if they
are willing to live economically, and without
reference to the opinion of the world The
great evil is they are not content to begin
life humbly, to retire together into an OBJ
scure position and together work their way
in the world-he industrious in his calling,
and she by dispensing with prudence the
money that he earns. But they must stand
out and attract the attention of others with
fine houses and fine clothes

THE MYSTERIES On IRON.

There is no miracle recorded In the annals
OF any religion more mysterious, more in
comprehensive, more inconceivable, than
some OF the well-known properties of the
simple metal, iron. Consider, for instance,
Its change from It's ordinary to It's passive
state. 1t piece OF metal in It's ordinary
condition Is immersed in nitric acid tits
powerfully acted upon, entering into combi-
nation with the acid, and losing It's metal
form. But If q piece of platinum wire has
one end inserted in the acid, and the iron is
then immersed in contact with the wire, it
Is so changed that the acid has no power
upon 1t, and this condition continues after
the platinum wire has been withdrawn.
The contact Of a single point with the pla-
tlnum sends a transformation all through
its particles which renders them inyulnera-
bic to the attacks of the most powerful acid
Even more wonderful is its change under
the influence of a current of electricity
" hen bar of pure, soft iron is welded with
an insulated wire and current of electricity
Is sent through the wire, the bar is instantly
converted into a magnet. Ii is endowed
with an unseen force which stretches out from
rs ends, and SEXES any piece of iron within
ITS reach, draws it to itself, and holds it in
It's iRgincible grasp. The object ofinsula-
ting the wire is to prevent the electricity
from leaving it, and yet through this insula-
ting coat a poweris exerted which changes
so strangely the nature Of the iron, enabling
1t to act on substances with which it is not

shorn 0f Its locks, Its miraculous power has

under the simple action of grayitation.
What is that invisible force which reaches
out in all directions from the earth and
clutches all ...4tter in its grasp? The fibres of
this power are imperceptible to any of our
senses. If we pass our hands under sus-
pended rock, we can feel nothing reaching
from it to the earth, yet there is something
stretching up from the earth, taking hold Of
the rock and drawing it down with the siren
