The VICTIM OF EXPERIMENTS The
dog has ever been the miserable vic
tim of most cruel experiments by
the anatomist and philosopher,
and when o tax was laid on his head.
a general massacre of the species
took place. Every one has observed
that dogs, before they lie down, turn
themselves round and round several
times. Those who have had an OBJ
portunity of witnessing the action of
animals in a wild state, know that
they seek long grass for their beds,
which they beat down and render
more commodious by turning around
in it several times. 1t would appear,
therefore, that the habit Of our domes-
tic dogs in this respect is derived from
the nature Of the same species in a
wild state. This a curious fact, and
serves to prove how the instructive
habits Of wild animals are retained by
their domestic progeny.

We would not discourage a multi

shall prepare them to earn an honest
living, whether the question of man.

cation, is the browning glory of an

We have heard Of peerless cherubs,
Noble bfows and lustrous eyes
Rosy lips and voice Of music
Tuned 70 Loves owa soft replies.
And the world has written volumes
Telling Of the talents rare,
That are hid like mines Of Jewels
Meath the infant brow 80 fair;
Bnt the newborn year before us,
Smiles ~ none Lefore have smiled:
And We know the holy angels
Guard with care Times glorious child.
For this babe is born a giant,
And a prince Of truth and power,
Full OF knowledge, thought and courage,
Even in its natal hour.
Hope now twines lis locks with flowers,
Love now robes it bright for you;
sunbeams kiss the lovely stranger,
Music tunes her harp anew
History bends down so gently,
While tear shines In his eye,
And we almost fear to ask him
Why his heart could heaye that sigh
But young Hope with hands so shining
Wipes away the falling tear,
Speaking Of the joyful future
Swiftly coming, and so near
Truth awakes with eye so brilliant,
Meath whose gances error dies.
"shout," he cries, "and let the nations
With hosannahs I'LL the skies"
Never was a year SO favored
None have reaped such golden sheaves
As the present year may gather
Countless as the forest leaves
Are the precious buds Of PROMISE
Kingsa and Kingdoms waiting stand.
May the New Year seek and save them,
Shedding light DER every land.
Holy light from Christ's own portals,
Teaching songs from Christ's own choir,
Till each distant child Of sorrow
Tunes to heavenly song his Tyre

THE LAST DECADE.

With the 31st Of December, 1870,
closes decade for years that can be
said, without eXaggeration, to stand
enrivaled sin the known account of
time with respect to tho Importance
of the events that make up the sum
Of its history. There is a tendency
in the human mind that leads men to
consider their own time to be the
most important Of all time, and
though they are right in holding such
time to be the greatest of all days
and years to them, inasmuch as they
constitute thier lives, yet it is GER
tain that the real interest of history
is concentrated around some few
periods, during which events take
place that forever after color and
control the worlds course. Such
periods were the decade of years
that began with the crossing Of the
Rubcon by Caesar (B. G. so 40 , the
decade in which occurred the fall Of
the kingdom of Granada, the discov-
cry Of America, the first voyage to
India BY the Cape Of Good Hope, the
intermarriage Of the royal houses Of
Austria and Spain, and the invasion
Of Italy by the French (1490- 1900
the decade that began with the meet
ing Of the Long Parliament 1640-
1880 the decade that followed the
passage Of the Stamp Act (1765-17-
75) and that which followed the
last meeting Of the State-General Of
France (1789-1799). All these per-
iods were full of events great in
themselves, and greater in their con-
sequences and yet the most striking
of them all--that with which tho ff-
teenth century closed-was not so
rich in events as the decade that is
just being added to the sum of de-
parted time There is hardly any
thing that can move the sympathies
of men, or excite their wonder, that
has not occurred since the beginning
of the year 1861. Mighty empires
have been overthrown, old dynasties
have fallen, great interests have been
uprooted, tho most ancient Of tenn
poral politics has ceased to exist,
new nations have been created, wars
unparalleled proportions have been
waged with new weapon and on new
military principles, continental rail
ways have been laid down, obstacles
to maritime commerce have been cut
through or removed, remote nations
have been brought into daily inter-
course through telegraphic cables
that lie at the bottom Of seas over
which men once were afraid to sail,
and great discoveries and inventions
in science and in art have added vas
tly to the means at mans command
to reclaim that earth over which he
has the promise Of dominion on con-
dition that his exertions shall show
him worthy of such supremacy. To
match the seventh decade of our GEN.
fury, it is probable that we should
have to take the greatest of modern
centuries, even the sixteenth, to
which belongs the Reformation, and
which saw the beginning of those
changes the fruition of which was
reserved for orr own time, and for
the next age. -Harper'S Magazine.

1t is not little curious that
while hotels kept on the American
system have been somewhat slowly,
but withal steadily gaining in Europe,
houses Of entertainment son the
European plan" have at the same
time acquired degree of popularity
on TINS side of the water which seems
TO threaten the very existence of our
Old style of hotels. One of the most
significant incidents Of this rapid
change, is the recent sudden trans
formation of one of the oldest of the
New York hostelries, the Astor
House, into feeding shop of the new

Winnie Ream.

Some person to us unknown has
written the following in regard to
Winnie Ream, lady with whom
many of our citizens are acquainted
Adjoining the dingy old Court House
in the beautiful little city of Madison,
Wisconsin, stands q small frame
house, which is quite as dingy and
dilapidated as is necessary in build
ing Of historical pretentions. 1t was
in this house that Winnie Ream, the
sculptress, was born, and reared
from infancy to girlhood. Her faith
er is mentioned in the Wisconsin blue
book as having been Chief Clerk of
the Assembly in the year 1849, and
he occupied various other clerical
positions in the state. Her mother
was On invalid, but very ambitious,
and very proud of her children
These consisted of wild brother,
and a sister, who is now the wife of
Senator Ross. Winnie the youngest,
is remembered as o graceful little
brunette, of large eyes, 1.-the form,
and beautiful head of fine black
hair, that was allowed to curl at its
own sweet will. She was the belle
of all the juvenile parties. and took
good care TO preserve her position by
the most precocious coquetry, aided
by her few accomplishments in the
way of singing and dancing. About
the year 1854 her father removed
with his family to Kansas. Those
who remembered the bright little
beauty next heard of her as prom
islng sculptress, and consequently
were astounded at learning that Con-
gress had awarded her contract for
a statue of Lincoln. Two or three
winters ago Winnie revisited Madison
to secure orders for busts of Cover
nors Dodge and Doty, who are to
represent Wisconsin in her inches at
the National Capitol. The manner
in which she carried on her work
proved her to be one of the most ir-
resistible little lobbyists that ever
fitted around legislative hall. One
stately Senator, who had risen TO the
dignity of grand paternity, was heard
to whisper, after an interview with
the petite charmer What a mar

PENALTY FOR OPENING LETTERS AD-
DRESSED TO ANoTHER-Many people
seeing letters advertised are in the
habit Of thinking there must be
mistake in the address, and call for
and open letters belonging to other
parties. There are also letters that
occasionally. through haste or mis-
take, get into the wrong box; and
are opened by parties to whom they
do not belong. 1t would be as well
to let our readers know that the pen
atty for opening a letter not address
sed to himself varies from a fine not
exceeding five hundred dollars to
imprisonment for ten years (Sec.
300, Laws Of 1869 One-half of the
pecuniary penalty shall be for the

DIVORCE IN CHIcAGo.-The Chi
cago Republican gives the following
as an example of the facility with
which divorces can be obtained in
that city:
Last year, couple came here from
Canada who had mutually agreed up
on divorce. A lawyer was hired,
and the bill filled, and they were able
to prove that they had stayed at a
certain hotel in this city year be-
fore, though they had not actually
been resident here above three
months, They were divorced but
atterward, the wife repenitng, she
got the decree set aside by proving
that they had not lived in Chicago
the necessary length of time. In a
month afterward she had again
changed her mind, and going before
the same judge, in the same court,
she obtained divorce the second
time-all within a period of four
months.
