A Little Nonsense.

A young lady in California recently
broke her neck while resisting the attempt
of young man to kiss her. This fur

A Connecticut pedler asked an old
lady if she could tell him of any road that
no pedler had eyer travelled. 81 know

A man who had been teased to death
for many years by virago of wife,

An editor in describing the doings of a
mad dog, says: "He bit cow in the tail,

Temperance and Water.

Mr. Cough, the distinguished temper
auce lecturer, has thrilled many an audi
ence with the preculiar power of his elo
quence A sorrowful tale or an amusing
anecdote he not only tells, but acts out
with inimitable power. Some of our read
ers have been thrilled with his ''eulogy on
water" which he has often declaimed, and
never without producing an impression.
The following we copy from contempo-
rary. 1t will repay persual.
'sTherem answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and pointing his motion
less fingers at the matchless Double Spring
gushing up in two strong columns, with a
sound like a shout of joy from the bosom
of the earth. 'There," he repeated, with
look terrible as lightning, while his
enemy actually trembled at his feet.
"There is the liquor which God the eter-
nal brews for his children. Not in the
simmering still, over smoky fires, choked
with poisonous gases, and surrounded
with the stencil of sickening odors aud
rank corruption does your Father in
heaven prepare the precious essence of life,
the pure cold water. But in the green
glade and grassy dell, where the red deer
wanders, and the child loves to play, there
God brews it; and down-in the deep val
ley, where the fountains murmer, and the
rills sing; and high on the mountain top,
where the naked granite glitters like gold
in the sun, where the storm clouds brood
and the thunder tones crash; and far away
out on the wide, wide sea, where the hur-
ricane howls music, and the big waves
roar the chorous, sweeping the march of
God;;' there He brews it, the beverage Of
life, health-giving water. And every
where it is thing of beauty; cleaning in
the summer rain, shining in the ice-gem,
till the trees all seem turned to living Jew
els, spreading a golden veil over the set
ting sun, or white gauze around the mid
night moon; sporting in the cataract,
sleeping in the glacier, dancing in the hail
shower; folding its bright snowy-curtains
softly about the wintry world and weav-
ing the many colored iris, that seraph's
zone of the sky, whose woof is the sun
beam of heaven, all checked over with
celestial flowers by the mystic hands of
refraction. Still always it is beautiful
that blessed life-waterl No poison bub-
bles on its brink; its foam brings not mad
nes and murder; no blood stains its liquor
glass; pale widows and starving orphans
weep not burning tears in its clear depths;
no drunkard's shriekinp phOst curses It.

answered, "No!"

Foreign Gossip.

Each morning at the Paris station of
the Western Railway there may be seen
great watts full of sea-water brought from
Dieppe. This water is used for baths and
aquaria, which increase in number in
Paris. There is even now in Paris mer-
chant who deals in nothing but salt water
1t is new trade, as may be imagined.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 'The
Queens late huntsman was buried yester-
day at SunniDghill. Lord Colville, the
noble Master of the Buckhounds, Major
General Hood, Major General Seymour,
and Colonel R. H. Vyse met the body at
the church. The favorite hunter of the
deceased was shot previous to the funeral,
and the ears of the animal were placed
upon his coffin when in the grave and
buried with him. A;large number of the
neighboring gentry were present at the
funeral"
GaL2ignani describes a singular formal
ity with which executions in Spain are ac-
companied. After the executioner has
performed his office be is surrounded by
gendarmes and loaded with chains and
taken 10 prison, and thence before an ex-
amining magistrate, when the following
dialogue takes place: "You are accused
of having taken the life of man." "Yes,"
answers the executioner, SIT is true"
"What was your motive for the crime I"
''To obey the law and fulfill the mission
confded to me by justice" An indict-
ment is then drawn up, and on the follow
ing day the man is taken before the tribu-
nal, which Immediately pronounces an
acquittal, and the prisoner is liberated
after his confinement of twenty-four hours.
-Four men were executed by the guillo
tine at Brest The evening before the
execution every medical man in Brest re-
ceived an invitation from DR.. Duval, Di-
rector of the Board of Health, to meet him
in the ampitheatre of the hospital at six
on the following morning. Precisely at
that hour all the men of science belonging
to that city assembled around four dissect-
ing tables covered with white cloths. As
the clock struck, the culprits were ushered
into eternity. At 20 the hospital van
was seen to cross the court of the PupiIles
de la Marine at hard gallop, and in
few seconds four lifeless trunks were
thrown on the dissecting tables, precisely
eight minutes after they had ceased to
exist. The sight was indeed startling.
The bodies appeared shrunk to the size of
that of a child-the neck utterly disap-
peared, and in its place frightful, gaping
wound. Next to the bodies, rolled up in
napkins, were four livid heads. The work
of dissection commenced instantly. The
nerves quivered, and the flesh was
still warm. The continued contractabil-
ity of the heart was proved, as well as in
the aorta, where sensitiveness was extreme.
The contractability was manifested on
simply touching the part and of course
was still more apparent when subject to
electric currents. The muscular contrac-
ton was so intense that, even after twenty
minutes, one of the doctors on applying
an electric current, made four heads grim
ace in the most horrible manner. A pencil
was placed between the teeth of one; it
was bitten through and smashed as though
it had been made of glass.

Paled is the cheek that glOwed yesterday;
Each painful breath growing heavy and deeper
Angelssre beckoning her spirit away.
Wavy the locks that are shading the temple
Moulded in beauty SO wonderously fair;
| Upon the white face plays no smile nor dimple-
Death, with his .terrors, has set his seal there,
Open the eyes-less painful the breathing
Fairer the brow of beautiful white,
Such radiant softncss the features are wreathing
As flash in the twilight tween darkness and

The grim monster came, who haspow to sever;
Gould not be anquished-would not be still;
Aud hearts that had loved, and would love for

Must yield to his dictates and bow to his will.
Look on that casket whose jewels are scattered
By his merciless hand so carelessly round
But its purest gem, the soul is not shattered,
Nor need it be sheltered in our earth's clay

For brightly it CLEANS where no dream of sorrow
Can veil the bright beauty of its shining ray;
No dim visions enter, no doubts of Tomorrow
Can cloud the fair circlet of its glory to-day.
Grateful the Knowledge that though life is dear

Cherished and clung to as a bark on the wave
More blest is the promise SO graciously made
TO us

the miners. And the basket, meantime,
mounted higher and higher every instant,
the rope cracking audibly under the in
creasing strain of the ascent. The unfor-
tunate engineer saw clearly that there was
no possibility of escaping the horrible fate
awaiting him, and could almost count the
seconds that would elapse ere the breaking
of the rope must precipitate him into the
fearful void below. Such was the inten-

obey the summons, but could not at first
recognize their customer of the previous
evening, for his luxuriant raven hair had
become perfectly gray. And, stranger
than even this physical evidence of the vi
olence of the emotions he had undergone
during his troubled slumbers, there lay
upon his bed, and evidently drawn by his
own hand, plan of the adjacent mine
which he was to visit on the following day,
but which he had never seen, and of whose
internal arrangements he had no idea; and
this plan, so unaccountably produced,
proved on examination of the mine, to be
absolutely correct in every particular.

A Beautiful Relief.

Two angels keep watch upon each NOR
tal-an angel on the right and an angel
on the leit-taking note of every word and
action. At the close of each day they fly
up to heaven with witten report, and are
replaced by two similar ones the following
day. According to Eastern tradition,
every good action is recorded ten times by
the angel on the right, and if the mortal
commit sin, the same benevolent spirit
says to the angel on the left-'lforbear for
seven hours to record it; peradventure he
may repent and pray and obtain forgive
ness"

EXRmDlRG.

Example is living lesson. The life
speaks. Every action has tongue.
Words are but articulate breath. Deeds
are the fac similes of the soul; they pro-
claim what is within. The child notices
the life. 1t should be in harmony with
goodness. Keen is the vision of youth ;
every mark is transparent If word is
thrown into one balance, deed is thrown
into the other. Nothing is more import
ant than that parents should be consistent.
A sincere word is never lost; but advice,
counter to example, is always suspected.
Both cannot be true; one is false.

PICKLE PoIsoNING.-It has been
officially announced, in London,
that most of the popular pickles
known as ''picalilly"' are made out
of pickles that have become putrid,
and have been mixed with mus
tard and turmeric to make them
saleable. This ''picalilly" afflicted
so many with choleraic symptoms
that it attracted judicial attention,
and hence the expose. 1t should
be known that pickle-poisoning is
not rare event, by any means,
in the United States. Pickles
should always be eaten with great
distrust, unless you put them up
yourself, and know exactly how
harmless is the process employed
to embellish and qualify them.
