Too Much Sc1ENcE.-Dr. Davy says that
the average temperature of women is between
81 and 97a degrees, and that of men is be-
tween SO and 991 degrees. This is prob
ably the reason why men, in love affair,
have to do most of the counting, as women
are naturally colder than men, and need the
infusion of what female novelists call :'nale
FIRE" AS heat is now considered only a
mode Of motion, SO emotion must be consid-
cred a mode of heat, and love must be meas
ured with thermometer. DR.. Holmes
says: "Alien bloods develop strange cur
rents when they flow near each other, with
only the film that separates lip and cheek
between them" This is caused by an aver
age difference of two degrees of heat. As
science advances, the world becomes less
and less fit to live in. Christians and cab
bages, truths and turnips, love and lollypops,
are measured with the same measuring rod.
The world is no longer what Hamlet thought
ia temple-but an analytical chemists
laboratory, filed with the pptsid remains o.
dissected beautiful things May the devil
fly away with science--one song is worth II
all. This is said not to philosophers, but
to men whose average temperature is between
80 and 991 degrees.

Responsibility,

A young man in Virginia had been sadly
Incorporate. He was man of great capac-
ity, fascination, and power, but he had a
passion for brandy which nothing could con-
troll Often in his walks friend remonstra-
ted with him, but in vain so often in turn
would he urge his friend to take the social
glass in vain. On one occasion the latter
agreed to yield to him, and as they walked
up to the bar together the bar-keeper said +:
"Gentlemen, what will you have ?" .
"Wine, sir" was the reply.
The glasses were filed, and the two friends
stood ready to pledge each other in renewed
and eternal friendship, when he paused and
said to his Incorporate fend:
CHOW, if I drink the glass and become
drunkard, will you take the responsibility"
The drunkard looked at him with severi-
ty, and said:
"Set down that glass
It was set down and the two walked away
without saying word.
0 the drunkard knows the awful conse-
quenees of the first glass! Even in his own
madness for liquor he is not willing to as
sumo the responsibility of another becoming
a drunkard.
What if the question was put to every
dealer as he asks for his license and pays his
money. ''Are you willing to assume the
responsibility !" How many would say, if
the love of money did not rule, "Take back
the license Christian Sun.

4 BOY's Trials.

We do not think that any boy ever put
on his first long-tailed coat without sense
of shame. He first twists his back half off
looking at it in the glass, and then, when
he steps out of doors. it seems as if all Gre
alton was in broad grin. The sun laughs
in the sky; the COWS turn to look at him there
are faces in every window; his very shad-
ow mocks him. The very boards creak with
consciousness of the strange spectacle, and
the old pair of pantaloons that stop light
in the garnet window nod with derision.
If he is obliged to pass group Of men
and boys, the trial assumes its most terrific
stage His legs all get mixed up with en-
barrassment, and the flap Of the dangling
appendage is felt against them, moved by
the wind of his own agitation; he could not
feel any worse were it a dish rag, to be worn
by him as badge of disgrace. It is hap
py time for him when he gets to church and
sits down with his coat tail under him but
he is still apprehensive with thinking Of the
Sunday school, and wonders if any Of the
children will ask him to swing his long tail
ed blue.
The entrance into society may be said to
take place after boyhood has passed away,
yet multitude take the initiative before
their hearts are presentable. 1t is great
trial to tender or tough age. For any over
grown boy to 60 to door, knowing there
are dozen girls within. and knock or ring
with absolute certainty that in two minutes
all their eyes will be upon him, is a severe
test of courage. To go before these girls
and make satisfactory tour Of the room
without stepping on their toes, and then sit
down and dispose of ones hands without put
ting them in ones pockets, is an achievement
of which few can boast. If boy can go so
far as to measure off ten yards of tape with
one of the girls, and cut 1t short at one end,
he may stand chance to spend pleasant
evening but let him not fatter himself that
the trials of the evening are over. There
comes at last the break up. The dear girls
don their hoods and put on their shawls,
and look so saucy, so mischievous and unim-
pressible, as if they did not wish any one to
20 home with them. Then comes the pinch
and they boy having the most pluck makes
up to the prettiest girl his heart in his throat,
and his tongue clinging to the roof of his
mouth, and crooking his elbow, stammers
out the words, "Shall see you home ?"-
She touches her fingers to his arm, and thus
they walk home about a foot apart, feeling
as awkward as goslings. AS soon as she is
safe inside her own doors he struts home,
and really thinks he has been and gone and
done it.-EIchange paper.

THE PISTOL PLANr.-Did you ever he;

THE PISTOL PLANr.-Did you ever hear
Of pistol plant? A few evenings ago the
a librarian of the Long Island Historical
Society was startled by the report Of a pistol
in the book alcoves. He made search but
discovered nothing, and at the time n>1 ~
person was in the rooms. The next day tn-
assis librarian heard similar report, and
a close investigation revealed the cause. An
exhibitor had placed in the rooms q case of
tropical plants, among which was pistol
plant, which is sort Of nut At certain
stage of its growth the she'll of this bursts
with violence, and with a sharp sound exact
ly resembling the report of a pistol, The
shivered shells of these were found in the
bottom of the case.

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves greatness not his own,
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content to know and be unknown;
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To whose well-ordered will belong,
For service and delight,
All Powers that, in the face of wrong,
Establish Right.
And free he is, and only he,
Who from his tyrant passions free,
By fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself to be
By himself obeyed.
Ifsuch a man there be, where'er
Beneath the son and moon he fare,
He cannot fare amlss,
Great Nature hath him in her care
Her cause is his.
Who holds by everlasting law.
Which neither chance nor change flaw;
hose steadfast course is one
With whatsoever forces draw
The ages on.
If such man there be, where'er
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He doth not fare alone.
He goeth girt with cohorts, powers,
The monarch of his manful hours,
Whose minds his throne.
He owes no homage to the sun:
There's nothing he need seek or shun;
All things are his by right;
He is his own posterity;
His future in himself doth lie;
His souls his light.
Lord of lofty life is he,
Loftily living, though he be
Oflowly birth; though poor,
He lacks not wealth nor high degree
In state obscure.
The merely great are, all in all,
No more than what the merely small
Esteem them. Mems opinion
Neither conferred, nor can recall,
This mans dominion.
