One of the exquisite wonders ofthe sea,
SAYS the Scientific American, is called
the orelet, and is about as large as the
German aster, looking indeed very much
like one. Imagine a very large double
aster with ever so many long petals Of a
light green, glossy as satin, and each
one tipped with a rose color. These
lovely petals do not lie quietly in their
places like those Of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water,
while the opelets generally cling to a
rock How innocent and lovely It looks
on the rocky bedl Who would suspect
that it could eat anything grosser than
dew or sunshine2 But those beautiful
waving arms, as You call them, has an
other use besides looking pretty. They
have to provide for large open mouth,
which is hidden deep among them, so
well hidden that one can scarcely find
it. Well do they perform their duty, for
the instant that a foolish little fshlet
touches one of the rosy lips be IS struck
with poison as fatal to him as lightning.
He Immediately becomes numb. and II
a moment stops struggling and then the
other beautiful arms wrap themselves

social vice I'm New York.
Cor. Springfield Republican,

Cor. Springfield Republican,
| lately had an interview with one o.
our ablest New York surgeons, who has
large family practice among our best
class of people, and / was astonished e
hear the bad account he gave of the ply.
steal and moral condition of the latter.
He is no alarmist, but a man rather dis.
posed to look on the bright side of things,
vet his statements are far from consol-
ing in respect to the increase Of wealth
and luxury among our people and the
social vices they have stimulated, if not
produced. ANY one who has walked
through the extensive district from Four
teenth street to the Central Park, be-
tween Fourth and Sixth avenues, must
have been struck with the vast number
Of elegant private houses, whose appear
anee shows how much money is needed
to support them, and intimate what large
incomes their owners must possess.
Among the occupants of these houses,
whose incomes range from ten thousand
dollars upward, the love Of ease and
luxury has greatly increased of late, and
with the latter certain social vices have
been cultivated, which we will presently
describe. The worst of these vices is
intemperance, which, since the war, has
increased to fearful amount. Every
where, my medical informant said, he
met with proofs Of the extent to which
the use Of stimulants is carried. He
was of the opinion that ninety-6ve out
of hundred men drink either moder-
ately or TO excess, while among women
the habit is becoming common. This
last statement is confirmed by other per-
sons, and have heard repeated accounts
OF the extent to which alcoholic stimu-
lants are used by the sex under the
guise of medicine. My informant
says be is constantly called in to treat
diseases resulting from the use Of stimu-
lants, including delirium tremens, apo
plexy, Brights disease, etc.
The prevalence of abortion among the
upper classes is another sign Of the
times. 1t is practiced everywhere, ex-
cept among Roman Catholics, as the
Church threatens all persons who allow
ii with the pains Of purgatory. " There
seems to be a universal opinion, said
my informant that under a certain
time to commit abortion is not wrong,
and physicians are constantly urged to
afford relief" The cause Of the wide
extent OF this evil is Discrimination TO
have the trouble of bearing or raising
children, and the only remedy for il is
for the clergy or other authorized agents
to denounce its immortality. This the
Protestant clergy have not as yet done,
but their squeamishness must be over
come or we shall never succeed in check
ing this growing sin Medical opinion
is clear and unanimous in asserting that
abortion and murder are one and the
same thing. and therefore the clergy
should not hesitate to do their duty.
