NOT PARTED.

They are not parted, though their feet
Have wandered far in diffc rent ways;
And though they never more may meet
On winter eyes or summer days.
1t MI tiers not though realms divide,
Though boundless seas between them roll
For STILL defyi ng wind AMI tide,
Heart yearns to heart, and soul to soul.
They are not parted-only those
Are parted VIII ON no love unites;
Their absence breaks not our repose
Who have no share in our delights;
They may be by our side, and still
As far from us as pole from pole,
Who lack the sympathetic thrill
or heart to heart aud soul to soul.

The Love of Brothers and Sisters.

For the Free Trader.
1t has always been admitted that the cultiva.
ton of young minds is of the greatest import.
ance. no: only because the happiness of the ma.
tion depends on the virtue and abilities Of the
rising generation, but also the future happiness
of man. 1t therefore concerns all those who are
intrusted with the instruction of youth to be more
than ordinarily solicitous in the formation of
their minds, that they may become useful mem.
bers Of society when called forth on the stage of
life
1t is therefore necessary that they be early
taught the principles of love. First, that they
love, honor and obey their parents, and secondly,
to love each other. 1t is not expected that
brothers and sisters love each other, who do not
love and obey their parents. This is one of the
great commands, Honor thy father and moth.
er." But, alas many bring their gray hairs in
sorrow 70 the grave. There are children who
apparently have but little love and respect for
their parents by doing those things, or engaging
in such amusemeDts as are IN opposition to the
parents, we'll knowing that the judgments Of
God are resting upon them. Do you love your
parents! If so, respect and obey them, aud
thus save them tears of anguish. 1t is pleas.
ing sight in the eyes of men, but more so in the
sight of God, to see family knit together by
the ties OF affection, working for each others
| happiness. "Now Jesus loved Martha and her
sister and Lazarus" no doubt because the family
excelled in fraternal love and affection, and tru.
| ly loving each other, were worthy the love Of
Jesus. That they excelled in this affection is
sufficiently evident from the anxiety which the
sisters showed when their much valued brother
lay sick, and they sent their affecting message
to their friend: "Lor6, behold ! he whom thou
lowest is sick" Happy the brother blessed with
such sisters! Happy sisters, blessed with a
brother so worthy their esteem!

Anthracite Coal.

Its Capacity to Envolve Deadly Poisons.
From the Free Trader.
Anthracite coal, a. domestic fuel, only came
into general use about 40 years ago It's heating
power and economy Of labor have caused it t.
become popular. Many persons, however, find
its effects so injurious that they are compelled
to renounce its use. 1t frequently produces
dlhcult perspirstion, peculiar headache ~ il
the head was compressed by band, languor
dizziness, and confusion of ideas--.ymptorns not
unlike those Of narcotic poisons. Various rsas.
ons have been assigned for these effects of an.
thracite, not merely on delicate persons, but on
most persons unaccustomed to it-forsignsrs, for
instance. Some have supposed that they arise
from the difficulty of 80 regulating an anthracite
tire as not to overhead the room-Which is fact.
but inadequate TO explain the symptoms; others,
that they were due to the dryness Of the air,
caused by the combustion Of anthracite-which
Is not a fact, and, If it were, would have no
special bad effect. The true reason of the mis-.
chisvous influence Of anthracite on tho human
constitution IS, that its combustion, unless com.
plete (which it very seldom can be, owing to the
great density OF the substance,) evolves quauti.
ties OF csrbonic oxide gas which il an active
poison, as the testimony of all chemists, without
exception. shows. When anthracite is burned
in open CRATES considerable portion of this gas
passes Oft by the hues; otherwise the effect
would be immediate and deadly; but that . suf.
ficient quantity to do harm escapes into the
room is shown BY the peculiar smell of the sui.
phurous acid gas found in combination with it..
In case OF cast iron stoves and furnaces. the en-
cape OF gas is worse. They are made in pieces
which no fastenings can prevent from separat.
ing with the expansion and contraction of the
metal. But, besides this. it has recently been
discovered in France, and confirmed by experi.
ments in England that the gas passes directly
through heated Cast iron. 7IT0
The subject has been thoroughly investigated
by DR.. Derby. hyyienic lecturer of Harvard uni.
versity, and he arrives Ut the conclusion that
anthracite can only be used with safety either
as means Of supplying heat to wster.pipes,-
very elaborate and expensive mode,-o- BY burn.
ing it in u large, wrought.iron, steam.tight
stove and the safety in this latter case is rather
probable than certain. The force of habit en-.
ables many persons to breathe tho poisonous IT.
mosphere generated by the consumption of an
thracite but it gradually affects the brain, tho
nervous system, and Indirectly the stomach.
1t is probable that many Of the evils attributed
to u moderate use of tobacco are either caused
or aggravated BY anthracite, the combustion Of
which, as we have stated, evolves = narcotic
poison whose effects resemble those Of narcotics.
