A very striking instance of this is men.
toned by Esquirol A young girl of unex-
ceptiopable morals and character of mild and
amiable department, acting as nurse, ono
day met her mistress coming in from a walk
and requested to be dismissed the house. On
being questioned as to her reasons, she said
that every time she undressed the child, the
temptation to kill it was almost irresistible
apparently stimulated by the sight of its
white skin. This seems to ally this class Of
phenomena to those animal instincts and pas
sions which are aroused by the sight OF
bright colors, as scarlet to the bull, ETC.
The well-known case Of Henrietta Cor
nier, related by NJ. Marc, was of similar
nature with this exception, that she accom-
plished her purpose, the impulse having prov
ed too strong for her to overcome the child
was one to which she had always professed
and felt extreme attachment-Ffon, "a

Get Leather Bits.

One of the cruelest things done to dumb
beasts is putting frozen iron bits into Z hor-
SEES mouth. 1t is not only painful but Gan
gerous act. For every time living flesh
touches metal much below the freezing point
the latter extracts the heat frcm the former
and freezes it. Thus a horses mouth be-
comes frozen by the cold iron several times a
day put into it; each time causing these
freezings to go deeper and deeper, to end at
last in extensive liberation. With such a
sore mouth the poor horse refuses to eat and
pines away, which calls the horse doctor in.
They call it bots, CHAMBERS, horse-ail, &c, and
go to examining down, poisonous drugs in big
doses; and the next thing you know of the
poor abused creature, he is trundled off to be
food for fish or the crows. Many valuable
horse has been mysteriously" lost in just
that way
Thinking and humane people avoid this by
first warming the bits; but this is much
trouble, and sometimes impossible as in night
work like staging and physicians work.
Now this trouble and loss are entirely avoided,
as we have found on large trial, by getting the
harness makers to get leather bits for winter
use, so made that no metal substance can
touch the flesh. They arc durable and cost
only half dollar. We wouldn't exchange
ours for gold one, if it couldn't be replaced.
Don't fail to try it.

A Beautiful Passage.


J Z. Motley, in an address before the New
York Historical Society, made use of the fol-
lowing language:
" Artesian wells are sunk through the sod
Of the prairies, through the loan. through
the gravel, through the hard pan, which is
almost granite until at last eco OF l 500 feet
beneath the sarface TIE hand CT man reveals
deep and rapid river coarsing through those
solitary, sunless depths, 81 . speed Of ten
miles per hour swiiter than Ohio, mississippi,
Hudson, OF any Of the beautiful and imperial
streams Of this country, flowing es they do
through picturesque mountain scenery, stately
forests or enameled meadow, amid lowered
cities OF cultivated fields. And when the
shaft has reached that imprisoned river, and
the rent for the FIRST time has been made
through its dungeon wall, the waters, reuem-
bering the august source on far distant noun
tain tops, where ages ago they fell, leap up.
ward to the light with terrible energy, rising
in an instant far above the surface of the
earth, and pouring forth their healthful and
fertilizing current to delight ard refresh man
kind. And even with such an awakening
are we gladdened when half-forgotten human.
ity burst from time to time out of the depth:
in which it has pursued its joyless, sunless
course, moaning and murmuring through
long centuries, but never quite forgetting it,
divine and distant origin.

The Empty Cradle.

We met John on the stairs. He was car
rying an old cradle to be slowed away in
what he termed "plundcr in the lumber
room One rocker was gone, and the wicker
work of the sides broken; it was an old will
lowy affair, but We could not refrain from
casting sad look into its empty depths.
"Gone'' we said dreamiy, call gone
What golden heads were pillowed here, heads
on which the curls grew moist in slumber,
and the cheeks and lips flushed to the hue Of
rose leaves. When sleep broke, the silken
fr1Dged lids opened heavily from the slumber-
GUS eyes; smiles fitted like sunbeams over
the face, the white fist was thrust into the
mouth, and when mamma lifted the muslin
and peeped to see if baby was sleeping,
cooing and growing were heard The little
feet began to kick, out Of pure delight and
kicked on until both of the tiny red shoes
we're landed at the foot Of the cradle. Where
are those hands now? Some that were en-
Drowned by vigorous manhood are sleeping
on battlefelds, some are bleached with time
and cares; and they have grown sore and
weary on the rough paths Of life.
Perhaps some little one, once tendcrly
rocked, is sleeping in the coffin. Over il
grows hear:ts-ease. and vigorous box and white
candytuft, and the starry Jasmine. The blue
bird hutters its bright wings through the
willow Dough, and the cool wind whispers tt

SUICIDE IN PETERsBua.-Mr. R. Fl

SUICIDE IN PETERsBua-Mr R. Fl.
Scott, gentleman engaged in the grocery
business on Bollingbrook street, came to his
death Saturday morning under sad and
shocking circumstances. It seems that he
had been suffering intensely from wound
recei.cd in the late var, which had OCCASION
ed him recently greater pain than usual, and,
together with the complication of business
matters, had led him to commit the rash
act. He had, as appears from the testimony
rendered to the coroner's jury, announced up
on more than one occasion his intention to kill
himself rather than endure his suferfngs
longer. On Friday, the day previous to his
death, he had submitted to asurgical opera
ton, and appeared somewhat relieved Sat-
urday morning between and O'Clock he
walked out in his back yard, and when found
was lying on his back with a pistol shot
through his right temple about mn inch above
the ear. Nj. Scott was native Of Sussex
county, was a gallant Soldier in the Confede-
rate army, and leaves wife in delicate health
and four Interesting children. Courier.

HOME FIRST OF ALL.-Let parents talk
much end talk well at home A father who
is habitually silent in his own house, may be
in many respects wise man; but he is not
wise IL his silence. We sometimes see pa
rents, who arc the life Of every company
which they enter, dull, silent and uninterest-
ing at home among the children. If they
have not mental activity and mental stories
sufficient for both, let them first provide for
their Own household
Ireland exports beef and wheat, and lives
on potatoes; and they fare as poorly who re-
serve their social charms for their companions
abroad, and keep their dulness for home con-
sumption. It is better to instruct children
and make them happy at home, than it is to
charm strangers or a:ausc friends. A silent
house is 9 dull place fer young people, place
from which they will escape if they can.-
They will talk, CT think, of being g shut up -
there, and the youth who does not love home
| is in danger.

Storms Of the San.
Professor J. D. Steele has communicated
the following to the Emlra Advertiser

! Professor j. ID. Steele has communicated
the following to the Emlra Advertiser:
There appeared in the Advertiser some
weeks since a paragraph. copied, | believe,
from Michigan paper, declaring that a
solamu of magnetic lights shooting GU 1 from
the sun at a prodigious speed-that it already
reaches half way the earth and that in all
probability, by another summer we shall have
celestial and atmospheric phenomena beside
which our rulest winter winds will seem like
June morning in Paradice.' In fine that
when this big tongue Of FIRE touches the earth
it will likely lap up our globe at one mouth
full Very many have made inquiries of me
concerning this prodigy, and, with your
leave, will try to satisfy their curiosity and
perhaps allay their fears.
1t has been known for some time that du
ring total eclipse red flames were seen to
play about the edge Of the moon. During
the eclipse of 1868 and-1969 it was definitely
settled that they were entirely disconnected
from the moon, and were vast tongues of ffe
darting out from the SUMS disc. By obscrya-
ton with the spectroscope, and also by means
Of the wonderful photographs of the sun ia
ken by De Ia Rre during tie eclipse of
1860, It ives discovered that these IRE noun
tains consisted mainly Of burning hydrogen
gas. This was precious information to secure
Ia the midst Of the excitement and novelty.
and IN the brief duration of total eclipse.
It did not, however, satisfy scientidc raen.
For two years Mr. Dockyer, aided By grant
from Parliament to construct superior in
strument, had been experimenting and search
lug in order to detect these flames at other
times than at rare occurrence Of 4 total
eclipse On the goth Of October, 1898 he
obtained distinct image of ous OF the
prcrnineEces, which &c attervard traced en-
tirely around the sun. Astronomers can there
