This doctrine of hereditary law is clear-
ly pointed out in the Bible, both by pre-
cept and example. When Jehovah issued
his commands in the Decalogue, not only
to the Israelites, but to his creatures in
all coming time, saying, "LI the Lord,
thy God. am a jealous God, VISITING tho
intquity Of the futhers upon the children,
unto the third and fouftt generations" it
was intended there should be SOME ntedn-

influences or agencies may be brought in
to operation in other respects, it is posi-
lively certain that here, by the laws of be-.
reditary descent, the iniquities of the faith:
ers are visited upon the children unto the
second, third and fourth generations. The
term iniquity' has broad Specification.

HOW PEOPLE TAKE COLD,

Not by tumbling into the river and
dragging home wet as a drowned rat not
by being pitched into the mud, or spilled
out in the snow in sleighing time; not by
scrubbing the floor until the unnameable
sticks to you like wet rag 4; not by hoe
ing potatoes until you are in lather Of
sweat; these are not the things which give
people colds; and yet they are all the
time telling us how they i" caught their
death of cold by exposure" The time for
taking cold is after your exercise the
place is in your own house, or office, or
counting house. 1t is not the act of ex-
ercise which gives cold, but the getting
cool too quick after exercising. For ex-
ample, you walk very fast to get to the
railroad station, or to the ferry or to
catch the omnibus, or to make the time for
an appointment; your mind being ahead
of you, the body makes an extra effort to
keep up with it, and when you get to the
desired spot you raise your hat and find
yourself in a perspiration you take a seat
and feeling quite comfortable as to tempe
rature, you begin to talk with friend, or
if New Yorker, to read a newspaper,
and before you are aware of it, you expo
rience sensation of chillness, and the
thing is done; you look around to see
where the cold comes from, and find an
open window near you, or door, or that
you have taken a seat at the forward part
of the car, and in moving against the wind
a strong draft is made though the creyices.
After any kind of exercise do not stand
moment at street corner, for anybody or
anything nor at an open door or window
When you have been exercising in any
way whatever, winter or summer, 60 home
at once, or to some sheltered place; and
however warm the room may seem to be,
do not at once pull off your hat and cloak,
but wait awhile-some five minutes or
more, and lay aside one thing at a time;
thus acting, a cold is impossible. Notice
a moment; when you return from brisk
walk and enter warm room, raise your
hat and your forehead will be moist; let
the hat remain few moments and
feel the forehead again, and it will be dry,
showing that the room is actually cooler
than your body, and that with outdoor
clothing on, you have really cooled off full
soon enough. Many of the severest colds
L have ever known men to take, were the
result of sitting down to warm meal in
cool room after long walk; or being en-
gagged in writing, have let the fire go out,
and their first admonition of it was that
creeping chillness which is the ordinary
forerunner of severe cold Persons have
often lost their lives by writing or reading
in room where there was no fire, altho'
the weather outside was rather comforta-

THE HEART OF TIE HOME.

All really useful and happy homes have
heart-ccntre toward which every mcm-

house-heart is usually the wife and moth

Around her chair, or couch, or bed, as
around an altar thrice concentrated, have
come the daily worshipers, with Scrip

years of chastened enjoyment and tremb-
ling hope, this family has found training
in life of unity, purity and love. The

The Means of Grace are Hereditary.

The following clipping from the New
York Observer, exhibits the above idea in
another form,-if we recognize the fact
that "means of grace" are both positive
and negative, or both direct and indirect,
viz; A father may remove from his sons
all temptation to steal by educating them
with reference to their ability to exercise
or enjoy their talent-or he may whet
their appetites for positions. and luxuries
which inevitably entail slavery infinitely
more cruel and degrading than negro sla-
very. Much more Ga fortiori) his daugh-
ter may not only be impressed with his
hereditary vices and the steumous or
consumptive constitution (Which thus has
actually gotten the name of "Kings Evil"
for manifest reasons, but throw her over
board at his death among a set of land
sharks of his own cultivation although ut
terly untitled to resist temptation except
by the miraculous Intervention of the grace
of God or his "uncovenanted mercy"
1t is cruel to "pet" bird and deprive
it of the luxury of self-preservation, al
though its life be prolonged thereby. More
cruel to turn it loose in the spring-but
much more In the autumn among abound
ing awks,-infnitely, more outrageous
is the systematic cultivation of ward /"
otthout "precedcnt," but Internal is the
only word that will express the cruelty of
such afather This is positive selfsnness,
but not nearly so insidious or mischievous
as that sort of negative or preliminary sell
fishness which obliterates all veneration
for divine authority in the offspring by the
cultivation of vice or vicious habits By the
parent, and contempt for the worship of
God even in an oath or any other act of
worship. If hearing is means of grace,
deafness is not, and consequently if we
San transmit the gift of hearing we admit
that this negative means of grace is hered-
tary if transmitted in proportion as the
nordinate temptation to evil is diminished
Or the power to control it is increased by
habit and instinct. SIGMA.

HER REDITARY GENIUS.
BY NATHAN ALLEN, NJ. D.

There has always been kind of impress
sion that true genius was hereditary, and
| occasionally some writer's have given ex-
preston to such opinions; but Francis
Galton, an English writer, in recent
treatise, is the first individual to discuss
the subject in detailed, statistical man
ner, and to arrive at certain numerical re-
suits upon the great laws of heredity.
Before proceeding to this work, he says,
by thinking over the dispositions and
achievements of his contemporaries at
school, at college, and in after-life, he
was surprised to find how frequently abil-
ity seemed to 60 by descent" Mr.. Galton,
we presume, stands not alone in such OBJ
servation and experience.
In order to put the thing fairly to the
test, and arrive at some definite results,
he examined carefully into the personal
history of over four hundred illustrous
men, and found that they were indebted
for their renown very much to hereditary
influences. In England, where are found
distinct classes in society, and where po-
sitions of power and influence are held
through several generations, by virtually
the same family, there are superior ad-
vantages for such investigations. For in
stance, from 1860, to 1865, he found
that two hundred and twenty-six judges
had occupied high places upon the Kings
Bench, and, in nearly all these cases,
their talents could be traced directly to
hereditary origin. For a judgeship in
these English courts, it requires talents of
the highest order, well-balanced and
thoroughly trained Among the leading
statesmen of Great Britain, including the
peerage, talents were not found SO gener-
ally transmitted; the principal reason,
Mr.. Galton alleges, is that of marrying
hetresses, but, it is presumed that this de-
generacy did not always or wholly exist
upon one side. \
The law of heredity will hold good not
only in cases of genius or great talents;
but also as applied to the common mind,
in all its peculiarities and degrees of
strength. 1t applies also to the body,
transmitting various abnormal states, GER
tain weaknesses and predispositions to dis
ease. If an individual indulges in habits
of intempcrance or icentiousness, in the
habitual use of tobacco or opium the eff
ects of all such violations of the laws of
life and health, are indelibly stamped up
on the organization of his offspring. There

The Peach Gro vvers Association OF Delaware
and Maryland.

The triennial convention of this associ-
alton met at Odessa, on Saturday, June
llth. They have at last accomplished
their object or at least a promise of remu-
neration for lost baskets from Philadel-
phia Commission Merchants, heretofore
considered impracticable except at the risk
of delay in sale of fruit on the one hand or
an increase in the commission which more
than counterbalances their previous loss,
whereas in New York the uniform custom
has been to make quasi sale of baskets
with fruit and at least promise to indem-
nifty the grower for all baskets not receive
ed. "Way laid" baskets are still as
"mooted" " question except with members
of this association, as it is manifest that
mixed lot although comprising the num-
ber when shipped they meet other owners
by the way.
The grower has heretofore been con-
tending not only against the enormous
loss amounting in one case to $4,000 for
baskets alone-but also the participation
in the crime involved by countenancing
this waste and rascality, especially among
irresponsible men who demand 10 per
cent. commission, and repudiate their own
sales, or deny their responsibility therefor.
AS i" careless persons make thieves" this
must be, hereafter, one of their speciali-
Ties, and all good citizens will no doubt
sustain them as catering to the public
good not with reference to ultimate cost
'f this luxury but also in much more im-
oortant points as above. SIGMA.

ing appeared, either from the words them
selves, or the circumstances under which
they were uttered, to show that Brock
comprehended his condition. There was
enough, however, to convict the criminal
without this dying statement of the mur-
dered man and | think that the people
of Randolph breathed more freely when
Wallen was placed within the walls of
Auburn penitentiary.
And now remains to be told one of the
strangest parts of this dark chapter. A
bout four years following the conviction
and incarceration of Wallen, the people
of the county were astounded and shocked
by the intelligence that free pardon had
been granted to him, and that he was at
liberty. The report proved to be true.
His sentence had been at first commuted
to fifteen, and then to four years, without
any of the usual forms being complied
with which are required by law to be OBJ
served upon an application for pardon or
communication. The Executive, as he af-
terward confessed, had been over -persuad-
cd by false statements made to him by
persons in whom he had implicit conf
dence, to the freeing of Clarence Wallen
and he remarked, when he discovered the
means that had been used to effect the cul-
prit's release, that he regretted the act
that gave him liberty more than any other
of his whole official career.
And thus Clarence Wallcn was passed
out into the world again, like a dark
shadow in its sunlight. Whittier he has
gone, | know not; what household he is
desolating, | know not; what further vi

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

There are brighter skies than these, know;
Lands where no shadows lie
Fields where immortal flowers bio ON,
And founts that are never dry
There are domes where the stars never dim,
Where the moon forever CLEANS,
And the music-breath of the radiant hills
Sweeps over the crystal streams;
For often I've caught, in the time of sleep,
A gorgeous glimpse of this hidden deep,
Away in the land of dreams.
When night lets down her pail of mist
On slender cords of air,
And the purple shadows of dying day
Are teeming everywhere
While unseen fairies chant lay
In the lilly's crimson cells,
And the solemn voice of the harmless winds
Breaks up the dreary fells,
know, by the cry of my so ul within,
There's place where they shut the gates of sin,
And the God Of glory dwells,
The wall of the wind, the rivers voice,
The arch of western hill
The beauty spread over the living earth,
In slumbrous twilight still
The yearnings of each human heart
For holer, better cline
A higher life than this mortal course,
Bearing the seal divine
All 4! sure there must be a beautiful land,
Where the white-robed millions ransomed stand,
Chanting their songs sublime.

query that many are trying to answer.
A French physicist formed cone of iron

earth Chemical action ensued, and
forming sulphidc of iron, caused an erup-
tion which closely resembled that of a
volcano. But, although this is very
pretty experiment, the matter thrown up
from volcanoes contains neither sulphur
nor iron enough to sustain his theory, and
nobody knows as yet the real origin Of

There are voices in the woodlands,
You may hear them everywhere,
Now they're murmuring on the green sward,
Now they're ringing in the air;
On every side they're coming,
From insect, bird and tree,
And wild and joyous concert
Their sweet voices make for me.
I hear the wild bee humming,
The grasshopper brisk and shrill;
There stands the beetle drumming
To the babbling of the rill;
Hark the low soft wind is sighingy
Like some gentle spirit grieves,
And the birds in song replying
To the whispering of the leaves.
Oh, the voices of the woodlands

Is played by His own hand.
