MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTs.

A subject of deep interest is now be-
ing discussed in the Academy of Medi-
cine in Paris-namely, the frightful
mortality among French children ac-
cording to the fashion of that country
put out to nurse. Every year twenty
thousand babies are sent out of Paris
under the care of peasant nurses and Of
that number 5000 on an average arere-
turned to their mothers, the other 49,,
600 having died of cold starvation, and
bad treatment. Since 1916 it has been
calculated that in the neighbOrhOOd of
Paris alone 10000 of these nurslings
have died in the hands of their foster
mothers. A frightful trade is also car
ried on byspeculatOrS of the lowest class,
denominated n1elaelys, who enrol coun-
trywomen in their pay convey them to
Parisin cartsjustlycalled ''purgatOries"
obtain for them babies whose mothers
have applied to the offices for nurse
for their child, and convey them and
the children back to the country.
The horrors that take place during
the journey to Paris and back in the
vehicle of the meneur are ofsOstartling
a nature that one could hardly believe
them to be true were it not for the un-
doubted proofs which have been laid be-
fore the Academy Of Medicine. Thus
the c0untryWomen make no scruple in
exchanging the babies entrusted to
them, and several among them under
time. II have seen," exclaimed NJ.
Chevalier, addressing the Academy,
lone woman protesting to nurse seven
infants, and yet she herself had neither
milk nor a cow" Fed with bad broth,
exposed to every species of dirt and
neglect the miserable infant sickens and
dies. The nurse, however writes to its
mother thathcr baby isprospering, that
it has grown out of its clothes, and re-
quired fresh supply.
The mother naturally spends her
months wages in supplying herchild's
wants, and goes on paying its board for
months after it had been laying in the
village cemetery. y considerable num-
Der of nurses come annually to Paris,
and carry back supply Of children,
and not one has ever been known to
bring child back to the capital. In
Interchange the children simply appear
and disappear.

4 TRUE WIFE.

She is not a true wife who sustains
not her husband in the day Of calamity;
who is not, when the worlds great
frOwn makes the heart chill with an
guish, his guardian angel, growing
brighter and more beautiful as misfor-
tunes crowd upon his path. Then is
the time for the trial of her gentleness,
then is the time for testing whether the
sweet Of her temper beams with a tran
sient light, or the steady glow of the
morning star, shines just as brightly
under the clouds. Has she then smiles
just as charming? Does she try by
happy little inventions to lift from his
sensitive spirit the burden of thought: =:
There are wives who, when dark hours
come, spend their time in repining and
upbraiding-thus adding to outside
anxiety the narrowing scenes of domes-
tic strife as if all the blame in the
world makes ones hair white or black,
Or changes the decree gone immutably
forth. Such know that our darkness
is heavens light; our trials but steps
in the golden ladder, by which, if we
rightly ascend, wemay at last gain that
eternal light, and pass forever in its
fulneSs and beauty.
as that ali ," and the gentle face of
the wife beamed with joy. Her hus-
band had been on the verge of distrac-
tion-all his earthly possessions were
gone, and he feared the result of her
knowledge, she had been so carefully
cared for all her life. But" SAYS r.
Wings beautiful story, ''a friend advi-
sed him not to give sleep to his eyes,
nor slumber to his eyeIids until he had
unfolded to her his hopeless cause"
And that was the answer with the
smile Of an angel-''Is that al! ?'' 81
feared by your sadness that it was
worse. Let these beautiful things be
taken-all this splendor let it 90, | care
not for it--I only care for my dear hus-
bands love and confidence. You shall
forget in my affection that you We're
ever i'll prosperity-only still love me
and | will aid you to bear these little
reverses with cheerfulness."
Still love her! y man must rever-
ence, aye liken her unto the very an

CAN'T CooK.-Itisa sad defect when
young ladies are incapable of directing
their own servants-shoes without
soles, or wristbands without shirt are
not more useless than one OF these.
One day shortly after his marriage, a
young merch ant went home, and see
ing no dinner ready, and his wife ap-
pearing anxious and confused, asked
"What is the matter ?"
'Why, Nancy went off at ten O'Clock
this morning" replied his wife, "and
the chambermaidk knows no more about
cooking dinner than man in the
moon"
Couldn't she have done it under
your direction" inquired the husband
very coolly.
"Under my direction? | should
like to see dinner cooked under my
direction"
"Why SOP" asked the husband in
surprise.
"You certainly do not think / could"
replied the wife; chow should know
anything about cooking ~
The husband was silent, but his look
of astonishment perpleXed and wor-
ried his wife.
"You look very much surprised"
she said, after a moment or two had
elapsed.
"And so | am" answered he, "as
much surprised as | should be to find
the captain Of one of my ships unac-
quainted with navigation. You don't
know how to cook, and the mistress of
a family! Jane, if there is cooking
school any where in the city, go to it,
and complete your education, for it is
deficient in a very important particu-
lar RltrW american.

VOTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES we
learn that in Wabash Township, Ohio,
the vote usually stands sixty-four Dem
ocratS to six Republicans. As that
township was well inundated, only fif-
ty Democrats voted and only two Re
publicans on Tuesday. Under what
difficulties these Democrats voted, few
who didnot experience the trial can
properly understand; but these fifty
Democrats deserve to be crowned with
laurels for their pluck. They travelled
to the polls in skiffs partly, walked on
dry land only portion of the way, and
aCa01ed the balance! One old gentleman
and his son, starting from home at 7o'-
clock in the morning, did notreach the
place of voting till o'clock. During a
portion of the way they lcaCled through
3Cater ap TO their dympitS! Many ofthe
Democrats travelled in skiffs till they
would reach dryland, when they would
carry their skiffs over to thenext bed of
water, and so on till they reached the
polls. Surely such Democrats are never
conquered. Three times three cheers for
. Democrats who havepluck enough to
wade to the polls. -EudlSriye Courier.

AN "HONEsT AGENT. IA few days
since, says the Richmond Dispatch, a
citizen of Richmond, having occasion
to visit Surrey county, met with an old
slave in very destitute condition and
almost naked. The negro told him that
he had been working for an agent of
the Freedmen's Bureau, at four dol
lars per month and his food. He only
received three dollars per month, and
no ratiOns. His former master went
with him to themana asked him if he
was an agent of the Bureau. The fell
low very insolently replied:
"Is that any of your d-n business ,"
The gentleman replied:
''It is, sir. This man was once my
slave. | have always treated him well,
and don't intend that he shall be i'm
posed upon now."
He then produced the negro's labor
contract, drawn up in legal form, and
made the man pay the negro what was
due him-about seventy dollars.
When he returned to Richmond he
made complaint of the affair to the
authorities, and the agent has since
been discharged.

THE IDLER.-The idle man is an an
nOyance a nuisance. Heis of no bene-
fit to nobody. He is an intruder in the
busy thoroughfare of every day life.
He stands in our path, and we push
him contemporary aside! He is of no
advantage to any body. He annoys
busy men. He makes them unhappy.
He is a cipher in society. He may have
an income to support him in idleness,
or he may sponge" on his good natur-
ed friends. But in either case he is des-
pissed. Young man do something in
this busy, bustling, wide-awake world!
Move about for the benefit of mankind,
if not for yourself. Do not be idle.
Gods law is, that by the sweat of our
brow we shall earn our bread. That
law is good one, and the bread we
earn is sweet. Do not be idle. Minutes
are too precious to be squandered
thoughtleSsly. Every man and every
woman, however exalted or however
humble, can do good in this short life,
if so inclined ; therefore do not be idle.

ANTICIPATING the result of the Oc-
tober elections, the Richmond Wing
says:
"The South does not crave political
power. All she wants is protection
against menaced oppression. While
she should not and does not intrude her
self upon the arena of politics and en-
ter into party contests, her good feel
ings are with that party which offers
her the most liberal terms"
