fhe Eagle.

The origin of the device of the eagle on
national and royal banners may he traced to
Very early times. IL was the ensign of the
ancient kings Of Persia and of Babylon
The Romans adoI ted various other figures on
their camp standards but Marius made the
eagle alone the ensign OF tie legions, and
confined the other figures to the cohorts =
From the Romans, the French, under the
empire. adopted the eagle. The emperors OF
Western Roman empire used black eagle ::
those Of the East a golden one.
The sign OF the golden eagle met with in
tayerns, Is an allus0n to the emperors of the
East. Since the time of the Romans almost
every state that has assumed the designation
OF an empire, has taken the eagle for an en-.
sign; Austria, Russia, Prussia, Poland and
France. all took the eagle.
The two-headed eagle signifies double
empire. The emperors OF Austria, who
claim to be considered the successors OF
Rome, use the double headed eagle, which is
the eagle of the Eastern emperors with that
OF the Western, typitying the Holy Roman
Empire" of which the emperors OF Ger
many (now merged in the house of Austra)
considered themselves as the representatives.
Charjemagne was the first to use it, for when
he became master OF the whole German en-
pIre, lie added the second head TO the eagle
to denote that the empire Of Rome and Ger
many were united.
As it is among birds the king, and being
the emblem Of noble nature, from its
strength of wing and eye, end its courage
as also Of conscious strength and mate pow
er. the eagle has been universally preferred
as the Continental emblem Of Sovereignty
The United States adopted the eagle on
coins, but not on the National flag, although
1t appears on the revenue flag.

AS the afternoon way-train was coming
from Baltimore, recently, the conductor,
calling ogt the names of way stations,
shouted out in explosive tones:
"Jessup's Cut,''

Whereupon, there was a general snicker,
and the conductor, proceeding to another car,
called out, in a lower key:

PROBABLE Uses OF THE TELEcEAPH.-An
exchange asks: Why should not every
house have its telegraphc wires? When
gas was first applied to purposes of illumin-
alton, it was only in the public buildings
and streets, and even now on the continent
of Europe it has been introduced but SPAR
ingly into private dwellings. Why may not
the telegraph wire be extended and diffused
If we may say so-as the gas pipe has
been. Suppose a network of such wires
laid from a central point in the city to the
library or sitting room of every dwelling.
and an arrangement made for collecting news
similar TO that controlled by the associated
press. Through wires then, this news might
be instantly communicated to each family.
without the work Of time rendered necessary
to put 1t irtp type, print it, and distribute it
by means of carriers. A fire, murder. a
riot, the result Of an election, would be sim.
ultaneously known in every part of the city.
OF course this would do away with newspa-
pers, but what of that? All things have
their day. and why should not such ephe.
neral things as newspapers be an exception
to the rule.

NOBILITY OF LABoR.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher recently preached sermon on the
Nobility OF Labor in which he said that more
public men of eminencs had started from the
business of type setting than probably from
any other occupation. Beecher's statement
is very true. A printer stands, az 4 were in a

THE POLAR SEA.
By f. r. SILL.

At the North, far away.
Rolls great sea for aye,
Silently, awfuly.
Rouud it on every hand
1ee-towers majestic stand,
Guarding this silent sea
Grimly, invincibly.
Never there man hath been,
Who hath come back again,
Telling to ears of men
What is this sea within.
Under the starlight,
Rippling the moonlight,
Drinking the sunlight,
Desolate, never heard nor seen
Beating forever it hath been.
From our life far away
Roll the dark waves. for aye,
Of an Eternity,
Silently, awfuily
Round it on every hand
Deaths icy barriers stand,
Guarding this silent sea
Grimly, invincibly.
Never there man hath been
Who could return again,
Telling to mortal ken
What is within the sea
Of that Eternity.
Terrible is our life
In its whole blood written history
Only a feverish strife
In its beginning, mystery
In its wild ending, an agony.
Terrible is our death
exchanging cloud over Lifc's setting sun.
Darkness of night when the daylight is done.
In the shadow of that cloud,
Deep within the darkness shroud,
Rolls the ever throbbing sea;
And we-all we
Are dr. fling rapidly
And floating silently
Into than unknown sea
Into Eternity.

DiErING.-This Is usually considered d
the same thing as kind Of starvation. The
idea which the educated physician attaches
to the term, is Il judiei0us regulation of the
food, according to the circumstances of each
case. a vast multitude are suffering hourly
by the horrors Of dyspepsia; no two are pre-
cisely alike in all points. since there is an
endless variety Of combinations as TO age, sex,
occupation air. exercise. mode of eating,
sleeping, constitution. temperament. ETC.
Yet dyspepsia is always brought ON by over
and irregular eating. Ii could be banished
from the world in generation, if the chill
dren were educated t. cat moderately.
regularly and slowly; the parents who do
this will do their 0fSprinG higher good
than by leaving them large fortunes, which
in three cases cut Of foar, foster idleness,
glutt0ny, and every evil thing. As the rich
can get anything to eat or drink when they
want it, they, with INDUCED children bring
on dyspepsia by eating irregularly and with
out an appetite. The poor-those who have
to work for living-induce the horrible
disease by eating too rapidly and at unseason-
able hours; mainly by eating heartily at
supper, and going to bed an hour or two
afterwards. Perhaps hearty suppers make
more dyepeptcs than any other causes com
bined. If dinner is at noon, nothing
should lie taken 70 supper but single
cup of weak tea, or other hot drink, and a
piece of stale bread and butter After forty
years OF age, those who live in doors, seden
tary p rsons-that Is, all who do not work
with their hands as laborers-would do bet
tr not to take any supper at ALL Half the
time the sedentary, who eat at noon, do not
feel hungry at supper especially if they
see nothing on the table but bread, and but
ter. and tea. But nature is gnaded TO act
against her instincts in almost every family
in the nation by "relishes' being placed on
the supper table in tAe shape of chipped
beef. salt fish, cake, preserves. or other
sweet meats. and before the person is aware
hearty meal has been taken. resulting in
present umcomfortableness, in disturbed
sleep, in Il weary waking in the morning,
bad taste in she mouth, and little or no APP
petite for breakfast; all of which can be
avoided by beginning early to eat habitually

JEws.-From long and suggestive arti-
Gle in the Chicago Republican, concerning
the Jews, we extract the following;
The Jews rise gradually above the
average # mankind whenever their immense
resources and their formidable intensity of
purpose ar, consecrated to religion. TO hu-
manty, to liberty, to letters, or art. Then
they become prophets, reformers and COM
posers, aud the moral and intellectual amp
artistic teachers of tue world, producing
Mendelshons, Spinozas. Neanders, Bernes,
Heines Raphaels and Meyerbeers. Among
the German political reformers Of the pres
ent d ", there are great number Of youag
men of Jewish parentage, particularly in
Bereln and Vienna. who are the most a.
dent champians of liberty. France possesses
in Cremieux, the Jew, one of her most un
fl n hing Republicans. And so there are in
ev,ry country Jews who show that as soon
as they devote their great powers to some
ennoblin purpose the excel as much in the
higher walks "f thought and lie as the nulk
