Who Are the Angels.

HAVE often wondered whether the an
gels in heaven partake of the bodily &C.
centricities of their corresponding proto-
types here. Whether there are tall, lean
angels, and jolly little fat angela, with
round bellies; and long legged, and bow
legged, and bandy-legged, and round
shouldered angels, and angels represent
ing the whole family of variegated hu-
manity and whether there are blonde an
gels and brunette angels, and angels with
golden, and chestnut, and auburn, and
brown, and black hair; with frizzled and
straight, and wavy, and curly hair; and
angels with black, and blue, and brown,
and gray eyes, and with sweet, soft voices.
and bass, and clear, and loud voices.
hope there are. For what lonely life
it would be up there wandering to and fro
through an endless eternity of six feet
men and five feet women angels, each the
model of the sex, in the cold ox-eyed Gre
clan of musty canvas And if they be not
marked and figured as their worldly
bodies were, when we reach that abode we
are always longing and crying for, how
are we to recognize those whom we cared
to see down herea Or, are we to go CROP

ioined together, thus occupying less room !;
hut cold-blooded creatures, as fishes, have
but one. This is the essential difference
in the organic structure of aquatic and
land animals. But that which is most Gu
rious. and worthy of close examination of
mechanical inventors, is its immense
forcing power Although made of flesh,
apparently very simple in construction, a
careful study of the walls show the ven
tricles-the contracting box, which is
the propellipg engine, is built up
of elastic threads, thousands upon thou
sands lying side by side, Of which no two
are of the same length. Beginning on line
called the septupa cords, between the auri-
Gle and yentricle, each one winds round,
as it descends, beyond the apex, so that
each represents corkscrew. When the
yentricle is filled to its utmost capacity
with blood, those threads are relaxed. AS
soon as elongated as far as they can be,
they spasmodically contract, giving the
whole a twisting action on its own axis,
thus forcing the blood out That explains
the beat of the lower point of the heart
against the ribs. 1t is literally twisting
and untwisting millions of elastic cords.
Power, simplicity, and economy of
space are obvious in this beautiful me-
chanical contrivance for the circulation of
the blood. Why has not some one imi-
tated itP Without expecting to find out
the mystery of its extreme irritablity, the
peculiar disposition of its elastic walls, it
is possible to initiate it in the construc-
ton of various instruments which are
still desideratum- Hearth and Home. d

Our Manned " Boys In BIue.v

WHAT is to become of our one-armed
and one-legged soldiers? How can they
maintain themselves without resorting to
the tricks of beggars, and the degrading
competition to which such condition sub
jects them? There is scarce street cor
ner or public place of resort in this
great city which is not beset with lmpecu-
nious veterans of the service, or, at least,
those who appear to be such-for there
must be among them fair proportion of
impostors. The street cars and ferry
boats are beset by this class of unfortu-
mates, under various guises of industry,
asking charity And the cold rebuffs
which they daily meet from those who,
not from unkindness, but from being con-
stantly and unpleasantly annoyed in that
direction, is not calculated to make them
more manly, or to induce them 10 think
more of the country in whose cause they
have suffered.
The general government has done much
to give employment to such as are capa-
BILE of clerical labor, and goodly number
have found large-hearted business men
who were willing to share their misfor-
tunes by giving them positions which
could be better filed by sound men; but
what proportion of our first-class mer-
chants ever permit any other considera-
ton to govern them, in selecting assist
ants, than the obtaining of the largest
amount of service for the smallest amount
of money? A one armed or one-legged
man cannot be of such general utility as
one who has his members perfect; and
there are those whose refined sense of har-
monious adjustment is SO very acute that
the mere thought of having cripple"
about would send a discordant thrill
through every nerve, and destroy the
whole pleasure of living.
There are, doubtless, great many men
who wear the army blue, and carry a
crutch, who are not legitimate subjects of
tender consideration, but it is so very diff
ficult in this hurrying world to make the
proper discrimination, that we count it
safe to do whatever our charitable hearts
may dictate to make lighter the burdens
of those who, having fought our battles
for us, and given us united country, have
now to fight against more fearful odds for
the privilege Of living in the country they
have saved.-Packards Mont11yJoT Arri5.

A Lovely Beast.

A VAGUE idea seems to prevail with
some that good COW makes her milk in
some mysterious way, drawing it from the
depths of her moral consciousness, rather
than from the food which she puts into
her machine. Some farmers seem to act
upon this theory and thus take pains not
succulent food. Verify, these Sol Silcox
farmers have their reward; their cows
look meanly, feel meanlv, and give as lit
tie milk as possible These men take no
prizes at agricultural festivals, they envy
those who do, and they are apt to be slow
about paying their grocers' bills. There
are number of them about the country,
but we trust the last will soon die out.
A good cow deserves better man than
that. A good COW does her utmost to min
lister to our pleasure and profit and de-
serves careful and good treatment. Re-
member that, after sort, she is violating
her nature to please us. The natural or
wild COW gives milk to suckle her young
for few months and then runs dry some
eight or nine months of the year, while our
COW gives her milk for ten months in the
year without ceasing. We deprive her of
the pleasure of sucking her young and
say to her: Grind up this fodder into
milk for us-work p and she does it, pro-
ducing for us some 5000 quarts of milk
per year. We have induced her to forego
her own pleasure, to forget her child and
to work for us, and, for my part, hold her
to be a lovely beast. He, therefore, who
strikes COW, or kicks COW, or starves a
COW, deserves the stick, the kick and
starvation. When / am king, propose
to myself to keep. for such fellows use, a
breezy knoll, wind always north, the
thermometer at 10 degrees, a gentle, sleety
rain, seasoned with hail, four-rail fence,
mostly tumbled down; in this delicious
retreat propose to allow the Sol Silcoxes
to stand, without overcoats, with their
backs up and heads down there they can
chaw their cuds, and perhaps find them
sweet-as the good COWS do not.
What we ask the cow to do, and what
she does do, is to convert cheap or upin-
viting food into good and dear food. That
is, we put into a cow, per day, say
Twenty pounds of hay, at one-half cent ...... 10
Nine pounds of sprouts or meal at two cents. IS
Total. l.......................... ~
and we ask her to produce from it ten
quarts of nice milk, worth at six and a
half cents, some sixty or sixty-five cents.
Now, the COW does not wish to do this !;
she wishes to suckle her calf, to lick it and
play with it, and then to wander at her
own sweet will along the meadows and
bushy pastures But she foregoes her own
wishes, and pleases us; and more than
that, she does it kindly and serenely. Is
she not then a most lovely beast?
Is there any human beast who ever does
so? Monet not one !-GaIary for april.

THE OLD RED GAGE.
By DORA DAVIS.

With dull unacknowledged pain,

And touch the red lips Of the girl,

Whose lips met mine when we parted,

gel, the dear shaven cheek and the chubby
face Of the best friend ever knew in all
this Babel where my life has been. have
learned to long for that jovival frontis-
piece which beams with every charity of
an honest heart, and if I should find him
in the other world sober, staid and mel
ancholy spirit, who, instead of hailing me
with slap on the shoulder, and the
hearty good-morning it used to warm me
like blazing fire in January to hear, and
should present me with sprig of ever
green and dreary kiss of peace, believe
I should feel lonely and forsaken through
all eternity.
In that sweet country, too. we shall be
sure to find some kind friends whom we
knew on earth. Our hearts went into the
grave with them, but we have tried to be
happy since, because we know that they
would wish us so. The grasses grow upon
the mounds where their dear heads are
resting, but the grasses can never conceal
them. And just so other loves are grow
ing up in our hearts, but they cannot OBJ
liteTate those first ones. Earth has no
symbol of them, perhaps, and that will be
the end of it until we meet them where
:" the days aye fair in the land o. the
leal."
I have heard that around us every day
of our lives there are futtering and flick
ering angels from the heaven above; and
can well understand how these white
winged spirits, when they have leave of
absence from their choral duties, love to
spend their holidays around the homes
they once inhabited, where hand met
hand and lip clung to lip in sweet deliri-
UNI; for it is a holy and lovely senti-
ment that makes wandering men yearn
with untraveled hearts for the old home !;
and, surely, In the dear coming heaven,
no such holy and lovely sentiment will be
extinguished. The world is bad enough,
and dreary enough, God knows; but it is
not all bad and all dreary. There are
fragrant spots on this ball of dust, and the
moss will grow on the bleakest rock.
There are dear friends to love, and dear
forms to see. Heaven would be rare
place, indeed, if it could make US forget
the faces that shone the tenderer on us be-
cause an hundred others were averted,
and Pm a little sorry, ON the whole, that
there is to be neither marrying nor Civ
ing in marriage" up there.-James Apple
ton Morgan, in Packard's Monthly for
April.

The Heart.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the hu.
man heart is no more the seat of moral
sentiments than it is of intellectual opera
tions, literary men still cling to the old
blunder of ancient poets, who refer all
emotions, good, bad, or Indifferent, to that
source. The brain is receiving and dis
pensing centre, but the heart simply
forces blood from its cavities through the
body to vitalize it.
