CrurlueiI's Skull.

The skull of Cromwell is still above
ground, and it is in the possession OF a
citizen of London. Several years since
it was exhibited publicly. The history
of the head is as follows Cromwell was
buried in great state at Westminster
Abbey. At the Restoration, however,
his body and those of some of his asso-
ciates were dug up, suspended on Ty-
burn gallows for whole day, and then
buried under it. The head Of Cromwell,
however, was taken off, carried to West
minister Hall and fixed there, where 1t
remained some time but the great tenn
pest at the commencement OF this cen
turv blew it down, where it was picked
up by the great grandfather of its pre-
sent possessor. This is significant
commentary on earthly greatness. The
popular idol of one generation may be-
come the scorn and loathing of another.
The body of Cromwell, carried to his
burial in royal state, only few years at
ter his interment is ruaely torn from It's
last resting-place, and the half-decayed
carcass, dragged by the heels through
the mud and mire of London, is hanged
upon Tyburn tree, the head afterwards
torn off and placed 50 that in grinning
horror it ever looks towards the spot
where King Charles was executed.

Thrilling Incident.

The world of fiction hardly contains
more thrilling chapter than All incident
which marked the life of the late Rev.
Mr.. Lee, Presbyterian minister of the
village of Waterford, y. y.
Mr.. Lee was sittingin his study about
midnight, preparing discourse to deliv-
er to his congregation, when he heard
a noise behind him, aud become con-
scious that some one was IN the room.
I Mr.. Lee exclaimed
"What is the matter = and turning
around in his chair, he beheld the grim
face of burglar who was pointing a
pistol at his breast The rufiian had en-
tered by side window, supposing the
occupants were locked in slumber.
Give me your watch and money,
said he, "and make no noise or will
fire"
You may put up your weapon, for
shall make no resistance, and You are at
liberty TO take all the money and valua-
bles that / possess, was Mr.. Lees calm
response.
The burglar withdrew his mcnacing
pistol, and Mr.. Lee said:
Il will conduct you TO where my most
precious treasures are placed.
He opened the door and pointed to
the cot where his two children lay slum-
Bering in the sweet sleep of innocence
and peace.
These" said Mr.. Lee, "are my most
precious Jewels. VIII you take them !!
He proceeded to say that rs a minis
ter of the gospel he had few earthly
possessions, and that his means were de
voted to one object-the education OF
his motherless children.
The burglar was deeply and visibly
affected by these remarks. Tears filled
his ewes, and he expressed the utmost
sorrow at the act he was about to com
NIT.
After few remarks by Mr.. Lee the
woud-be criminal consented 60 kneel
and join in prayer and there, in that
lonely house. amid the silence OF mid
night, the offender poured forth his re
morse and penitence, while the repre-
sentative of religion, Of peace and good
will, told him to 'go and sin no more.
Such a case has few parallels.

A Cure for Every Drunkard.

DR.. johnson gives a prescription to
cure every drunkard, which amounts to
this:
l. Eat comfortable meals at regular
hours, partaking especially of farinace-
Gus food, vegetables and fruits three
times 4 day.
,. Exercise regularly, but so as not
to induce fatigue.
8. Have regular and long sleep, go
ing to bed and rising at regular hours,
and take a sleep about noon.
4. Keep the mind as much interested
and amused as possible by harmless
games, sports, etc.
5. Take a warm bath about IL A NJ,
if convenient.
6. Break up all old associations.
:. Keep away from old resorts.
s. Quit chewing and smoking tobac-
co. for this blunts the moral sense and
makes the imagination dull. Liquor
makes the ideal faculty wild and unset
tied. while tobacco makes it obtuse.
9. Never forget that if you are to be
a new man YOU must have new ideas,
and these must be such as to make you
discard the use of alcohol in all its forms.
Do not take it as medicine any more
than as a beverage, for it will re-awa-
ken the old desire in the one case as
readily as in the other.

The Ia lIiuisr.

The hammer is the universal emblem
of mechanics. With it are alike forged
the sword of contention and the plough
share of peaceful agriculture. In an
cient warfare the hammer was power
ful weapon. independent Of the place
which it formed.
The hammer is the wealth Of nations.
By it are forged the ponderous engine
and the tiny needle.
1t is an instrument of the savage and
civilized. It's merry clink points out
the abode of industry it is a domestic
deity, presiding over the grandeur OF
the wealthy and ambitious. Not astick
is sharpened, not house is raised, a
ship floats, or carriage rolls, a wheel
spins, an engine moves, a press speaks,
yiol sings, a spade delves, or flag
waves, without the hammer.
Without the hammer civilization
would be unknown, and the human spe-
eies only be defenceless brutes but in
skillful hands, directed by wisdom, it is
an instrument of power, Of greatness
and of true glory.
Let but the master mechanics Of this
nation WELD the hammer, and 10 ! what
beauty, and music and grace, springs up
on every hand ! The artists chisel,
smitten by the hammer, wrings from
the cold marble such warm limbs and
such breathing lips as make the soul of
Particles leave its tomb to mile!

"All quiet alon. the Potomac" they sa.,
Except, now and then, a stray picket
Is shot, as be walks on his beat 70 and fro,
By rHemsn hid in the lhicket
IT'S nothing-a private or two, now and then,
Will not count in the news Of the battle,
Not an officer lost, only one Of the men,
Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle.
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight"
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming +,
Their tents in the rays OF the clear autumn
moon,
Or The ligh. Of the wa,ch-fres, ARE cleaning.
A tremuous sigh from the gentle night-wind
Through The forest leaves slowly is creeping,
While the stars up above, with their glitterlng
eyes,
Keep guard for the army i, sleeping.
There is only the sound of the lone sentry's
tread,
As he trsmps from the rock to the fountain,
And lhinks Of The two in The low trundle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls back-his face, dark and grimr
Grows gentle with memories tender,
AS he mutters prayer for his children asleep,
For their mother, may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems 10 shine as brightly as then,
That night, when the love yet unspoken
Leaped up TO bis lips, and when low murmured
vows
Were pledged, never more to be broken.
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He dashes tne tears that are yelling,
And gathers hi, gun closer up TO It's place,
A. if to keep down the heart-sweIlng.
He passes the fountain-lhe blasted pine tree
The foolstep is tagging and weary.
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt oi
light,
Toward the shade Of the forest so dreary.
Hark was it the night-wind that rustleS the
ieavesi
Was it moonlight so suddenly flashing
1t looked like rifle :-"Hs Mary. good-bye!"
And the fe-bloOd is ebbing and spIashing.
.'All quiet along the Potomac Tonight
No sound save the rush Of the river
While soft falls the dew on the face OF the dead
The pickets off duty forever.

coffee in New York publishes letter

considerable falling off in the produc-
ton of coffee this season. The three

O00 of pounds, and the Java crop from
I7O,O06,OO0 to 1O6,0O0,000 of pounds.
Of the Ceylon crop there is no accurate
data He adds that there is no lack of
supply yet felt, but that the ultimate ef-
feet of these Deficiencies has already
been discovered throughout the world
BY rise Of price.

For Girls Only.

Suppose, young warm-hearted eirI,
that as YOU lean on the broad shoulder
in the halflit parlor, thinking how nice
it is to have somebody fond and protec-
ting, and how dear you seem TO be to
him, suppose you should be made aware
of all the cheeks that had rested on that
shoulder, and all the forms that arEl had
encircled Its fortunate you don't know
these things 1t might lead you, how
ever, to keep yourself more sacred for
some one who will love you as entirely
as YOU love this man, who takes life AS
it comes, and by force of habit, if not by
inclination, could not remember one wo-
man six months if his happiness depends
on it.
You are TO allow no personal free
doms from gentlemen Of your acqualn-
tance. If a finger is put out TO exam
inc a locket or chain on yonr dress, draw
back and take it off for inspection if
YOU choose The reason for this rule
is clear to those who are better acquain-
ted with the world. The reason isyery
clear to every one who comes to TWEEN
ty-fve years of age. A girl who pro
tects herself from the freedom so much
in vogue in society, increases her own
value, if she only knew it, with those
she may have to repulse. don't be
lieve in prudishness or suspicion, but |
do believe that when men and women
are not content with the friendship that
can be expressed by frank. kind eyes,
and cordial, brief hand shakes, and clear
words one is not ashamed that the world
should hear, they should know what in
toxication they are sharing.
