health The meat stands should be empCied
upon the asparagus beds or manure heap,
and must not be throw anywhere else, as
the brine will kill even trees as thick as
an arm if applied in large quantities. The
cellar should then be thoroughly white
washed and FURNISHED up nice enough to
dine in it. A filthy cellar is an admoni-
ton that no housekeeper who has any
claim to tidiness will allow to remain an
hour longer than can be helped. The
health ofthe entire family may be serious
ly endangered by it,and we have no doubt
that III many instances fevers have resulted
from unwarrantable neglect in this mat

"Generation after generation" says a
fine writer, shave felt as we now feel, and
their lives were as active as our own.
They passed like vapor,while nature wore
the same aspect of beauty as when her
creator commanded her to be. The heav-
ems shall be as bright over our graves as
they now are around our paths. The
world will have the same attractions for
our off-springs yet unborn as ithad. once
for our children. Yet little while, and
all will have happened. The throbbing
heart will be stifed, and all Will be at
rest. Our funeral will wind its way, and
prayers will be said, and then we shall be
left alone in silence and darkness for the
worms. And, it may be, for short time
we shall be spoken of, but the things Of
life will creep in,and our names will soon
be forgotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and song will be heard
in the room in which we died and the
eye that mourned for us will be dried land
glisten again with joy and even our chill
dren will cease to think of us, and will
not remember to lisp our names"
The railroad between Florence and
Bologna crosses the Apprentices by inclined
planes through a succession of nearly fif-
ty tunnels. A train of forty wagons with
its precious freight of fifteen hundred lives,
was recently descending the mountain,
when the engineer discovered to his con-
sternation that the prepondering weight
behind had got control of the engine and
all the brakes, and the mass was launch
ing itself with the fury of velocity of .
nearly one hundred miles an hour toward
destruction. Signals of distress apparent
ly useless were made, but onward rushed
the swift PROCESSION, now plunging into
tunnels now shooting across viaducts, fl
ling the mountains with clamor I'M
known before. Fortunately one of the
waymen, hearing the extraordinary noise
long before he saw the train, and with
quick intelligence suspecting the Difficult
ty, changed IA switch, which sent the train
reeling up side track which led to
stone quarry several miles up the noun
tain, lwhere the force was spent without
accident ~

A renowned New York Clergyman late
ly preached rather long sermons from
the text, "Thou art weighed in the balance
and found wanting" After thecongrega-
ton had listened an hour, some began to
get weary and went out; others soon fol-
lowed, greatly to the annoyance Of the
minister. Another person started, where
upon the parson stopped in his sermon,
and said, "that is right, gentlemen, as fast
as you are weighed aass out" He contin-
ued his sermon to some length after that,
but no one disturbed him by leaving
The growth of Chicago is wonderful
and battles conjecture as to whatit will be
half century hence. Here is a city of
nearly a quarter of million of people which
twenty -fve years ago was just emerging
from villagehood, and the hardest looking
specimen Of that class that ever attained
the position of a respectable city. If we
are to judge it's future by its past, it is to
become one of the largest of all the inland
cities of the world, and its people-that
is, many OF the most prominent Of them
will explode from imitation ul1less due pre-
caution is taken to prevent such calami-
