A GooD ExAMPLE.-A Methodist
clergyman in the vicinity of Boston
was invited to a public demonstra-
ton of some kind, where an expen-
sive supper was served, and on the
table were bottles of intoxicating
drinks. On being requested to ask
the Divine blessing upon the repast,
he arose and said, " | can cheerfully
ask God to bless the food, but | never
yet dared to ask his blessing on a
bottle of rum" The bottles were
instantly removed, and the blessing
was then invoked.

LONGEVITY OF THE JEws.-Through-
out Europe with the exception of
Norway and Spain, from which he is
excluded } throughout Asia, the Jew
fourishes as if at home. Even in
Africa he exhibits no inferiority to the
natives in constitutional vigor. Mo-
rocco numbers 100000, Algiers 80,-
900, and a considerable portion of
Jewish blood exists, in Abyssinia, the
mountains of the Atlas, and even as
far south as Timbuctoo. Mr.. Neuf-
vile, of Frankfort, states the aver
age duration of life of the Jews OF
that city to be 4S years and 9 months,
that of the rest of the population Sc
years and II months. During the
first five years of life the deaths of
Jewish children are scarcely more
than one half those of the Christian.
One-fourth of the total number OF
the latter die before they are seven
years old, whilst of the former three.
fourths attain the age of 28 years.
Half of the Christians have succum-
bed at SO, whereas half of the Jews
live to be so. Beyond SO years and
10 months a quarter only of the
Christian population will be found
alive; but one-fourth of the Jewish
live to be II. DR.. Chatter has in.
stituted comparison between the
longevity of the Jewish race and
three others in the Austrian domin
ions, from which he finds that out o.
thousand an age between 70 anC
100 were-of Hungarians 54-4; o
Croats 7O.6; of Germans 1911; anC
of Jews 100. The longevity of the
Jews was noticed by Haller, and at
tributed by him to their sobriety ant
careful diet. Doubtless sobriety mus
be admitted as amongst the causes o
their longevity, perhaps even as tn
most potent; but it does not seen
improbable that the same energeti
vitality that enables them to becom
citizens of every cline is also opera
tive in prolonging their existence
has, in fact, endowed them with
longer average term of life. In Indi

The Burial of the Dead.
BY COL. o'HARA, OF KENTUCKY.

The mufled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.
No answer of the foes advance
| Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
| No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
| Their shivered swords are red with rust,
| Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms, in battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed, the flashing blade,
The trumpet's stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are past;
No wars wild note. nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore shall feel
The RAPTURE of the fight.
Like the dread northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe;
Our heroes felt the shock and leapt
To meet them ON the plain;
And long the plying sky hath wert
Above our gallant slain.
Sons of our consecrated ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
| Along the needless air;
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
Inc aSneS or ner brave.
So meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne to Spartan mothers breast,
On many bloody shield;
The sunshine of their native sky
| Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred hearts and eyes watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the bloody grave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Y on marble minstrePs voiceless tone
In deathless songs shall tell,
When many vanquished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, or winters blight,
Nor times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

Father, father 7 until this t'other lit
tie fellow had some comfort like. I'll
spend the last shillin' first, sir; indade
| will, sir"
The police officer hesitated mo.
ment, then he said:
HYou're good fellow, Pat, and |
won't forget you. You needn't come
back again. [ will see to matters
up here" and he pointed up the
stars.
Can it's God Almighty that will
bless you, SIR said Pat, quickly
"Yol won't be forgetting the little
girl and the swate flowers. Eddie
loves them, sir; she says so"
NO, Pat, [ won't forget anything"
Ten thousand blessings On ye,
sir," and the city express received
its load, the horse trotted briskly
away; and for this once the pauper
child had escaped its heartless death
doom.
The officer understood we'll what
to do. There are some few ladies in
the city known to those into whose
hands come any unusual cases of sor-
row and suffering.
To one Of these he told his story,
and was assured everything should
receive proper care.
Before noon of the same day soft
steps were heard upon the stairs
leading to the widows room, and a
lady knocked at her door. 1t was as
if God had sent His angels to open
the shutters toward the east, and
bring this family once more into the
light.
At the close of the day a small
band Of decorouS mourners had gath
cred there. Black dresses, neat and
warm, took the places of the old,
worn garments, and on the table,
which was concealed beneath snowy
danask cloth, stood simple casket,
satin lined, ribbon trimmed.
In it lay little Eddie, his emaciated
face almost hid len beneath the
wreath Of white buds which covered
his pillow. In his tiny hand he held
a bouquet, Ruth's gift; and at his feet
lay a fower-made cross. Precious
cIOss. Dear emblem; but never
more precious, and never dearer in its
lcreshadowing, than when, as now it
tells of suffering and sorrow passing
through deaths dark portal.
1t is not a pauper child that is
borne to the church, but the dead
soldiers boy; and carriages follow
the little weary sleeper, and the cler-
gyman prayS, not for the peaceful
dead, Q 20; but for the living; that
God would put it into the hearts Of
his people to remember those who
have given their best for them.
This story is almost trite. Pity
! It's It's true. The families of our
dead soldiers! What place can we
make for them? Meek suffering wo-
men, children homeless, breadless
what an army of them gather around
these snow-covered graves We have
buried their husbands and fathers
with their nations flag wrapped
around them; walled over them sad
death marches, and uttered eulogies
upon their undving greatness; but dc
not let us forget that dearer than all
this pageant to that still, brave heart
is the wife and the little ones he has
left behind, and what he asks of us
now is to lead them out from the
darkness with which his death has
covered them, into the light.-Watch

RAILROAD OVER THE ALPS. Mr.. Bayard
Taylor has given the New York Tribune an ac-
count of his trip, in the latter part of Septem-
Der, over the first railroad which crosses the
Alpine chain, and which has been now com
pleted and opened to the public between four
and five months The pass Of the Semmering,
copied after the passage of the Alleganies on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has been
much celebrated as feat of engineering in
Europe but the Semmering was an elevation
of only about 5000 feet, while few OF the pas
ses of the Alps are less than 5000. The
Breuner Pass, which is the first of the Alpine
passes mounted by locomotive, is the lowest
of them all, the summit being Ito feet above
the sea level. MIR. Taylor gives a graphic
account of the great natural obstacles over
come by the road, which corresponds with
the details we have already published con-
corning it. From Innsbruck the distance to
the summit is twenty-one miles by railway: =
Innsbruck is 1000 feet above the sea, so that
the elevation between the two points is 2, no
feet, or an average of l3l feet to the mile The
road across the Sierra Nevada has already
reached point 1900 feet higher than the
Breuner pass, but without any such extreme
grades being required. Mr.. Taylor writes that
all the communication between Germany and
Italy seems crowding on the Breuner pass, land
instead of one coach, with dozen passengers,
which was the last stage arrival at Innsbruck
before the completion of the railroad, there
were, six weeks afterwards, two trains day,
with two hundred passengers, and every day
trains are delayed by the rush Of travellers.
