Young Men in the Cities.

No one problem faces city churches
more seriously than the "NNhat to do
for Young Men" Says DIR. Fowler
"Young men come from the country
into the cities. They leave with a
mothers blessing and tears shower
upon them like rain. The fathers
trembling hands are upon his head;
the boy, weeping, bows to receive the
fathers benediction and prayer, and
trembling accents go to God for guild
ance and protection upon the hope of
his age as he goes out among strangers
to carve out his fortune. He has gore;
the city is reached; the days are worn
away in unwonted and wearying
work, and the nights are unOccupied.
"Tell me, can a poor boy be expect
ed to be strong enough to sit in a cold
unlighted, unwarmed, unadored room
on the fifth floor, when there is a
street full of light and life surging
below him? 1t is impossible. He
has purchased by the toll of the day
the right to the recreation of the
night. He goes into the street and
looks into the sea of strange faces,
hunts up and down the show windows
hour after hour. This he does for a
little time; but soon he has seen all
the show, and becomes familiar with
all the faces, and has found no friend
no society. His heart burns and
bleeds, and there is a call for society
somewhere. He looks about him; all
the homes are shut, and below him
all the hells are open. He has never
been there; but he stands on the
threshold, looking in. There are
music, gayety, and life; and there are
those who are social. The pious
world has closed its doors, and there
comes up before him something to
meet the demands of his social nature.
He trembles q moment on the thres-
hold; the beam pOises and balances
on the pivot of his destiny. From
the light, and music, and the ioy,
hands beckOn to him; he hesitates
and trembles; he goes in-he is lost
Hell has him tomorrow! He washes
up yOnder to the surface of society a
blOated wreck, or bangles a felOn.-
Who murdered him! Where the
guilt! Tell me, men of homes, was
he not as good as your son or your
Came he not from a faith
er's prayers and mothers tears? He
has not all through the year bowed at
a family al-ar, and yet, somehow, you
shut him out, and the devil got him.
God pity us in our exclusiveness! !
Part of thewoTk of the church is to
reach young men and feed them

Comfort for Smokers.


In the current number of the North
AB1eried reUietC, DIR. w. A. Hammond
has an elaborate articleupOn ''the San
itary and Physiological Relations of
Tobacco" in which he claims to con-
slider the nicotine question in the
light of both scientific principles and
of personal experience. He takes the
ground that ''the moderate use ftObac-
co does not cause any serious derange-
ment of the mental or physical organ
ization," and that on the contrary,
such use ''dOes retard the destructive
metamorphosis of the tissues" and
enables an individual to save his body
capital" We quote from his state
ment of the result Of his experiments,
as follows:
"From the whole ofthe experiments
I concluded:
81. That tobacco does not material
ly affect the excretiOn Of carbOnic acid
through the lungs.
"2. That it lessons the amount of
aqueous vapOr given Offin respiration.
"3. That it diminisheS the amount
of the intestine secretion.
~. That it lessons the quantity of
lAAC ACAAeA CANAOAAOA-f eAAG
of its urea and ehlorides.
''5. That it increases the amount
of free acid, uric acid, and sulphuric
and phOsphOric acids eliminated
through the kidneys.
ait was aseertained that tobacco ia
moderation lessons the destruction of
the tissues as a whole, and especially
diminishes the wear and tear of the
nervous system. The question there
fore, scarcely admits of a doubt that,
other things being equal, aperson can
domOre mental and physical labor, and
with less fatigue, under the moderate
use of tobacco than without it. The
excessive use may be injurious, just
as may be the excessive use OF almost
any substance taken as food or drink.
Another important physiological eff
feet of tobacco Is seen in Its action up
on the stomach, as increasing the Sc
eretiOn of gastric juice, and thus pro-
noting digestion. As 9 sOOther to the
nervous system, and q promoter of re-
ffection, it acts with a degree of GER
tainty, and vet of mildness, which
places it far above all of its cOngeners.
Under its influence the nervous sub
stance, especially that of the brain
and sympathetic system, IS preserved
from the inroads to which it would
otherwise be subjected. The ability
to comprehend is increased, the judg-
ment is rendered clearer, the power
Of the will is augmented, and all this
without the degree of exhaustion
which otherwise follows every pro-
longed mental effort"

Shall Me Take AMar Christi

Time, indeed, makes havoc of great
names and of illustrious personalities.
1t will not answer for the conserVers
of these to invoke them with a zeal
too petulent, and insistence too absO-
lutte. The everyday world no doubt
Pounds its thought and calculation
upon the labors of men whose names
have lost all familiar connection with
their works. In the world of thought
most of US know not our fathers. We
do not for this pretend to have SUPER
seded them. We only regret that the
lapse of time makes the figures of our
benefactoTs so dim to us. Shall we
court such forgetfulness of the one
among them all best known and most
present to all? Shall we say: "Let
US forget thee, oh Christi Thou vert
but stepping stone, and not thesum-
NIT. Take away thy whole gallery of
pictures-the babe born in the mang-
er, the gracious child in the temple
the minister of joy at the feast of COM
fort, at the bed of sickness-the mas
ter with twenty centuries of glory
budding in his bosOm-the host of the
solemn feast of farewell, the stateliest
symposium of the church, and the
simplest of the heart-the hero of the
cross, the symbolical conqueror of
death and inheritor of a kingdom
without end. Take them all way
we have outgrown thy record and
thee" The proverbial ingratitude of
republics might go as far as this. But
if Christ could take us at our word,
and take away himself remove his
gifts also, l know not how rapidly our
Institutions would shrink and darken.
To take Christianity out of New Eng
land would be even more fatal than
it would have been to leave New Eng
land out of the UniOn.-Jukid Ward

Manfed--.Mnre Mem

The Social Science philosophers of
Great Britain are becoming alarmed.
They have discovered that the dispro-
portion between men and women is
Increasing so rapidly in that country
as to threaten an overwhelming re-
dundancy of the feminine GENDER
The statistics appal them. Out of
every 100 women in Great Britain
above 20 years of age it has been ascer-
tanned that 81 are wives, Is widows,
and 20 spinisters. OF little under
5000, 900 women between 20 and 40,
in England and Wales, ], ,24S, 900 were
unmarried. The philosophers cast
about them for some means to escape
this impending spinster rule. A
wholesale hegira of females to the
United States is recommended. But
the ''poor things" would be Jumped"
from the frying pan into the fire
Their fairsisters already on the ground
would oppose their entering the mat
rimonial list of the New World, inch
by inch. And why shouldn't they,
being likewise greatly in excess, as
they are, of the men? In a popula-
ton of twelve hundred thousand, for
example, in Massachusetts, there were
forty thousand more women than
men at the taking of the last census.

Old Trees.

The oldest tree known 10 naturalists
is the Great Dragon tree OF O1otOYa,
Teneriffe, which was blown down by
a hurricane a few months since. lt
was a stately tree, seventy or eighty
feet high, as early as A. ID. l4O2, and
so old and remarkable tree as to eN-
cite particular care and notice for its
preservation. When it was destroyed
it was believed to be no less than 5000
wears old. On the banks of the Sene-
gal river, in Africa, there are, or We're
in 174S, trees growing, sixty or eighty
feet high, and some thirty feet in di-
ameter, which were estimated by
AdansOn, the French naturalist, to be
over 5, 600 wears old. They are known
lish yew is another very long-lived
tree. There are numbers of these
trees in England and Scotland, which
are believed to be from 400 to 5000
years old. A cypress tree in Oaxaca,
Mexico, which forty years ago meas
ured 40 feet in hight, III in eircum-
ference, and which sheltered Herman
do Cortes and his followers under its
wide-spreading bOughs about the year
1920, is supposed to be now 1000
years old. And in California there are
mammoth expresses which stretch
their heads up 800 or 400 feet, and
which are believed to be some 5000
wears oldi There are many other
trees, in different parts of the world
single trees, famous in history, and
groups of trees-as locusts, and oaks,
and lines, and elms, and pines, nut
trees of different kinds, olive and or
ange trees, etc., etc., which are either
absolutely known, or believed TO be,
all along from $50, 4, 40, SIG, $40, 40,
500, 800, ], 600, and so on up to 5000 or
more years old.-BostOR TfdUeler.

Anfinnifies From Alaska.

We made allusion some time ago to
the interesting antiquarian discover
les reported in Alaska, by Capt. Ed
ward Fast, an engineer officer on the
staff of Gen. jeff G.. Davis. Capt.
Fast brought to light, in the course of
years investigation among the abo-
rigines of our new territory, many
curious facts which seem to prove
Alaska TO have been formerly a more
civilized country than it is now. He
made friends with the natives, learn
ed their language, studied their tradi-
tiOns, observed their peculiarities and
customs, bought of them various rel
les of an ancestry whereof they had
but dim and imperfect knowledge
the ancient weapons, warlike dresses,
armor, implements of the chase, do
nestle utensils, all wrought with a
skill which is now lost-and when
these sources were exhausted, he or
or his native agents rified the graves
where, with the ashes of the dead
were deposited the carved idols and
instruments of use or ornament which
were in vogue among the Alaskans
long ages before the Russians set foot
within the country. Capt. Fast's re-
markable collection has now reached
New York, and we have been favored
with a view of it. Even TO the super
fetal observer it offers points of great
interest, the workmanship of most of
tie articles is so curious, and so much
ingenuity is displayed in adapting
the scanty materials of that inhospit-
able country to n variety of uses.

derful weight and clumsiness, and

mOniac forms; wooden breast and

artfully inlaid with brass and copper,

clothing of prepared skins, brilliant

hair work in many strange forms !;
idols, charms and instruments of sOr-
ceTy, cut in wood, bone, walrus-ivory,
and amber, and displaying a gro
teSque sort of art, of which the mod
ern savages of Alaska have no coneep-
ton. These are some of the most
conspicuous features of Capt. Fast's
collection. For scientific men, we
presume their study will offer strong
attractions. What light they may
throw upon the veXed question of the
source whence America was peopled,
we do not pretend to say; perhaps phil
Olegists may find here field for prof
liable investigation but there can be
no question that they show the pres
ent inhabitants of Alaska to be the
degenerate decendents of a eompara-
lively civilized race, and in this fact
alone there is matter enough for in
quiry.

Wuntinp WIth Panthers,

In an unpublished Greek MS, of
the 18th century, preserved in the
library of the Escurial, Spain, NJ.
Miller has discovered a very curious
passage, calculated to cast some light
on the history of the chase. A few
years ago q singular account had been
remarked in a chronicle of the mid
die ages, to the effect that the Emper-
or Frederic II. (12lO) used to hunt
with tame panthers- Now the Ms,
in question contains an essay entitled:
The chase of the Partridge and Hare,
written by a bishop of Philippoplis,
Constantine Pantechnes, a cOtempo-
rary of the Emperor Manuel Com
menus, who passes for having been an
intrepid sportsman. This bishop
having attended n great imperil hunt
ing party, describes all the game start
ed, the hawks and falcons unhOOded
and sent after it, the dogs on the scent
&C., and at length says that the chase
with birds having ceased, that with
trained panthers began. Each horse
man carried one of these feTOciOus
animals behind, on lions skin; the
panther's eyes were bandaged, and it
Idu u 5lAOn6 IOAAaA AOuAAu Abo AASNAt III
leather thong attached to it was held
by the rider. The hare being per-
ceived, the bandage was quickly re-
moved, and the ounce let loose on the
fugitive game which in three or four
huge springs was Overtaken and
caught. Elated with its achievement
the leopard would now return slowly
with the prey between its jawSto its
master, who, having alighted, would
stroke it, and at the same time insert
two fingers into its nOstrils. As this
prevented its breathing, it was forced
to let go the game; this the horseman
Immediately took, and opening the
neck let the blood run into wooden
bowl, which he gave to the panther
as a reward for its services. This was
greedily Tapped up; but at the last
drops the huntsman would kick the
bowl away, upon which the infuri-
ated animal would attempt to fly at
him; but he effectually warded it off
with the lions skin. 1t is difficult to
for what purpose the
creature was so unnecessary vexed
after performing its Office.
