The city of Dublin possesses at the
present moment ti'c youngest criminal
and prisoner in The world In Rich
mond BridcwelI-is not this the prison
from which Head Centre S1ephons
escaped There is now immurcd a
criminal three ard a h0r years oid! We
venture TO think the prisons of Europe
may be searched in vain for an incar-
cerated offender of equal age with that
OF the Dublin delinquent The story,
as told by the Dublin papers, is as
strange, Last Saturday, it seems, two
children were arrested and brought
before magistrate at Dublin police
office, charged with what is grandilo-
quently called soliciting aims vulgar
ly termed begging The elder was
girl eight years old, the other WAS a
boy, an infant, aged three years and a
halt. The charge, the solemn charge,
was proved, and magisteraI Justice
delivered it's decree. That decree was
that 'the girl should be imprisoned in
a penitentiary for fourteen DAYS and
kept at hard labor; and that the bow,
poor little mite, should be confined for
an equal length of time in Richmond
BridewelI, and likewise Kept to hard
t'6or. The question arises, what
would be considered hard labor for q
child three and half years old?

An Original Joke.

On Tuesday afternoon, while the
citizens Of the llth precinct in Balti-
more were in the midst OF excitement.
at the polls, an old and we'll known
rebel made his appearance, for the first
time since the commencement of the
shareholders rebellion, and attempted
TO put in a rebel ballot The reb in
question has the misfortune to be cross
eyed, so much SO that when he Glanced
to look at the sky for the polar star,
his eyes, to an observer, would be ap
parently fixed on the Southern constel-
lation ! As the old reb was about to
take the required OATH Union man,
an lnveterate wag, sang out,
i object to that mans vote p
Upon what grounds p inquired the
election officer.
Because he's not noturakeyes cdr
The by-standers saw the point of
the joke at once, and greeted the old
reb with 'jeers and jibes,' which non
ptussed him to such an extent that he
left the polls in disgust, and of course
lost his vote The conservative who
related the above circumstance to our
informant, is man (among the few
in BaltimOre) whose veracity is un-
questionable.

EARTH Is BEAUTIFUL.
BY YOUNG LADY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD

BY A ToUNa LADY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD.
"hen the morning star Is setting.
And the East is flushed with light,
when the rising sun announces
The departure Of the night,
Earth Is peautfull
when the sunset fires are cleaning
Ger the tops of distant hills,
And the yellow rays are streaming
On the merry mountain rills,
Earth Is beautiful
When the dusky twilight deepens,
And the shadows longer grow,
Or the moonlight pale and fitting,
Bathes in silver all below,
Earth is beautiful
In the windy, wild March weather,
When the SHOWS are all departing,
When the birds begin to twitter
And the crocuses are starting,
Earth is beautiful!
In the broad and sunny meadow,
When the summer sun is high,
When the tree-tops all are quivering,
And beneath the cattle lie,
Earth is beautiful!
In the misty Indian Summer,
When the harvest days are Ger,
When the leaves are red and yellow,
And the fowrets are no more,
Earth Is beautiful
When the cold and frosty weather
OF the winter time is here,
And the pure and drifting snow.wreaths
Are decking autumn's bier,
Earth is beautiful
In the spring-time or in winter,
In the summer or the fall,
BY the seaside. in the meadow,
Or within the forest tall,
Earth is beautiful

And children too. who are sent alone.
And If you give me your attention,
To convince you, III but mention,
II you call. I'll add to your delight
More than money can-that's bright.
To think you're poorer, don't be rash;
'Tls not your money that's true wealth,
But cOntentment and good health.
Therefore your comforts I've selected.
And now they open to be inspected;
MANY of the Goods are neat yet rosy,
Just the things to fit you up cosy,
Rug pattern oil cloth, rich and new,
Rustic oil shades, thatH please you;
Neat gas burner stoves, TO keep off the shakes,
A cloth damper, too, you'll find here,
That YOU wet not your fingers, my dear,
But can't tell AL, just give me peep,
And You'll be convinced the Goods are cheap.
And at J. !. Wallis House Furnishing Stand

A splendid cook stove, no better you'll hnd
Than is kept at the Big Coffee Pot Sign

And iobbIng do right on the spot,
At the sign of the Big Coffee Pot.

subject has been the attainment of cold. Some
eminent men have thought that the reduction
of teunDefRture during the glacier epoch was
due to q temporary diminutOn OF solar radia-
tiOn;. others, that In its motion through space,
our system may have traversed regions of low
Temperature, and that, during its passage through
those regions, the ancient glaciers we're pro-
duced. Others have sought to lower the tenn
perature bv O redistribution OF land and water.
But the fact seems to have been overlooked that
the enormous extension OF glaciers in bygone
ages demonstrates, just as rigidly, the operation
OF heat as the action OF cold.
Cold alone will not produce glaciers. You
may have the bitterest northeast winds here in
London throughout the winter, without a single
fake of snow, Cold mast have the fitting object
to operate upon; and this obiect-the aqueous
vapor of the alr-is the direct product of heat.
But by directing our speculations to account
for the high temperature OF the glacial epoch,
hypothesis would In all probability ensue. 1t
is perfectly manifest that, by weakening the
suns actions either through defect of emission
or by the sleeping of the entire solar system in
space of low temperature, we should be cut
ting of the glaciers at their source. In a
distilIing apparatus, If you required TO augment
the quantity distilled, you would not surely
attempt 70 obtain the low temperature neces-
under your boiler; but this is what Is done by
those philosophers who produce the ancient
glaciers by diminishing the suns heat. II is
clear that the thing most needed to produce the
afford to lose an iota of solar action; we need, If
anything, more vapor; but we need a con-
denser so powerful, that this vapor, instead of
falling to the earth in liquid showers, shall be
so far reduced in temperature as to descend in
snow. .r r- ..rH..F
1t was only after the glacial period, when
the earth had resumed its normal temperature,
that man was created. Whence came he?
He came-M. Figuer answers-whence the
first blade of grass which grew upon the burn
ing rocks of the Silurian seas came; whence
came the different races of animals which have
from time to time replaced each other upon the
globe, gradually rising in the scale of perfec-
tion. He emanated from the will of the Author
of the worlds which constitute the universe

millions Of francs 20 to Asia across the Isthmus
of Suez or round the Cape, of which amount 91
per cent. is in silver and Q per cent. in gold.
Of these sums nine.tenths go from England and
only one-tenth from other countries, including
France. ...
Although England very often only plays the
part of intermediary, she nevertheless partici-
pates greatly in ali commercial and Industrial
enterprises. Her extensive connections with
the East sufficiently explain her large exporta.
tons OF silver, and her comparatively small
accumulation OF precious metals. Moreover,
nobody, nowadays, believes the wealth of q
country to consist bnly in gold and silver.
Money is icS everybody a mere means, which
certainly is not always equally well employed.
However that be, the fact remains that the gold
currents from California and Australia have
given TO the spirit of enterprise in Europe a
greater impulse, and the centripetal force of
attraction of the East prevents the accumula-
ton of the precious metals from producing
dangerous plethora. Should the working of the
ptdoers produce a gradual rise in prices, the
movement will, in all probability, be so slow
that no social pertubations are to be feared.

Babv Looking Ont for Me.


Two little busy hands patting on the window,
Two launching, bright eyes LOOKING out at me;
Two rosy-red cheeks dented with a dimplei
Motner.bird is coming; baby, do you seer
Down by the lilac bush, something white and azure
saw in the window as passed tue tree;
Well Itknew the apron and shouldet-knots of ribbon
All belonged to baby looking out for me.
Talking low and tenderly
To mVsep as mothers will,
Spake softly, God IN Heaven
Keep my Darling free from Ill.
Worldly gain and worldly honofs
ASK 1 not for her from Thee;
Keep from want and sin ana sorrow
Keep her ever pure and free"
Two little NaXeu hands,
Folded sol. and sIleutly;
Two little curtalngd eyes,
Looking out 10 more Tor mej
Two little snowy cheeks,
Dmple-dented nevermOrej
Two nttle trodden shoes,
That will 1 ever touch the floor;
ShoulderribbOn softly twisted,
Apron folded clean and white;
These are left me-and these only
OF the childish presence bright.
Thus He keeps my darling Tree from earthly stain,
Thus lie folds the pet lamb safe from earthly
straYIng
But miss her sadly by the window pane,
Till look above IL: then with Durer vision,
Dad, / weep no more, the lilae-bush 20 pass,
For ] see her, angel pure, and white and sunless,
Walking with the harpers, on the sea of glass.
Two little snowy wings
Softly tiutter 70 and iro,
Two tiny childish hands
Beckon still 70 me below;
Two tender angel eyes
Watca me ever earnestly
Through the oop-holes of the stars;
Baby's looking out 1or me.
