"A THOUGHT. when. the day dawns, and we
arise to find the sky clear and the bright hours
all before us; how 10th We are to he down upon
our pillow again. There are so many things to
do3such pleasant things some of Them; our
friends are coming, or we are going to visit
them there is walk or o drive, or little feast
in prospect-it seems so pleasant to be awake !
But when the day has gone, and night l1 has
come again, we are, generally ready for it. We
are, at best, tired with our froc or our pleasure
Ten, to, one, we are disappointed in something.
Some little unpleasant incident has marred the
brightest hour. ), Some skeleton has taken its
seat at the feast, or peeped out Of secret clos
et It is so delightful to fling off the finery it
reioiced lis to put on to put out the light and
lie down, courting slumber. ..., .,,s /.
-. So though, in the heyday Of lite, we dread
that last long, quiet sleep, no doubt those who
live to be old hail it as their best friend. The
loves and hopes of carly life have ended in dis
appointment Their dear ones have left them
alone. The life that seemed so sweet has
changed to bitterness, and all the sweetness is
with death. Just rs we wearly climb the bed
room stairs with our tired feet, so we will climb
life's last steps. We have danced and toilcd al
ternately; we are as tired of our JOY as of our
sorrow, and we will hail repose eternal, as we
hailed the rcpose Of the night when life WAS all
before us. -

Tho Russian Prince.

The young Duke Alexis. who received so cordial reception in New York and Washington, is thus described: His blonde hair was combed back and lay in soft silken waves, leaving the high in- tellectual forehead entirely exposed. A light ell-trimmed mustache overhung pair of lips as soft and rosy and as delicately cut as any that ever graced maiden's face. A pair of whiskers, not bushy nor yet meagre, adorned the sides of his face, at the same time adding much to his manly beauty. His we'll defined chin, his high, arched brow, the classical cut of his general features, and the uncommon softness of the skin, were all indications of his royal parent age, thorough education, and princely culture. Altogether his face was such one as every person could look upon and admire, aside from being '' marvel lously handsome" It has the true light of intellect, and it's whole expres- sion is that of a noble, ambitious. gen tie, commanding, brave officer. Having studied h1s face, one could not help re- garding his muscular form. While standing erect in the presence of the committee, the well formed head tower ed above them all, and even Gen. Nc Dowell, the giant commander of the Eastern Division, was obliged to look up whenever he addressed any remarks to the Grand Duke. His broad shoulders, deep chest, muscular arms and we'll made limbs, showed how thoroughly every sinew of his body had been de veloped. The Duke was in the full uni form of lieutenant, consisting of blue cloth tunic, and pants, cooked hat, and sword. His shoulders carried the epaulettes customary to his rank, and massive epaulette extended from h1s shoulder to his right breast. He wore sash of blue watered silk, which repre- sents the Order of Saint Andreas, an honor conferred on all Russian princes of the blood at their birth. His left breast was decorated with two badges, one worn by the imperial family, the other the order of his. regiment.
 The militia, which took part Tn the reception, numbered about 1000 men, and the reception they gave the Duke was grand affair. As the last of the procession passed, the crowd, breaking through every effort of the Police to res train them, closed in around the hotel cheer after cbeer for Alexis arose, and after he had entered the house, the yells of thousand throats called him back three times. The Police charged in vain the crowd was in the ascendant, and the Police were powerless. Aga1H and again they called for the Duke, and when at last it was understood that he was about to leave the hotel, rush was made. for the Eighteenth-street entrance. Then only the Police began to gather sufficient strength to control them, and in short time they were dispersed.
 Soon after the arrival of the Grand Duke at his apartments in the Claren' don Hotel, he dispatched the following message to his father by cable:
 Emperor ot Russio, St. Petersburg:
 Entree ct reception cordiale magni- fque. Parade de la milice. Tout To vile en fete. ALEXIS. TRANSLATION.
 Emperor Of Russia, &. Petersburg:
 Entry, cordial, and magnificent re- ception. Parade of the militia. Gener- al holiday in the city. ALEXIS.

THE HOUSE A-F1RE. gentleman once

THE HOUSE A-F1RE.- gentleman once offered to bet that he would empty the whole of good winter fire in drawing room out of the grate, and place it upon the carpet in the center of the room, all the company to be seated around it in a circle, and that the room should not take fire. MT. Braidwood, formerly Captain of the London Fire Brigade, said that he would have backed such a bet and that the fire in such case would proba- ply have died out fitself. It is not very easy to set fire to house without first lighting curtains or other articles that produce lively flame. This fact, how ever, should not make us less careful re- specting the causes of fires. Nearly all fires can be managed at the outset by the inmates of the house. By shutting the doors and windows, so as to prevent the supply of air to the fire, and by resolute- ly attacking the flames with water, rugs or blankets, door-mats, etc., the larger part of fires in dwelling-houses may be smothered.

How he was Hit.

There was mixed company, on @ cer- tain occasion, on board a steamer which was passing the port of Monterey in Cal ifornia. One of the passengers exhibi- ted his geography and history-or rather the place where they ought to have been by observing:
 "Thar's whar General Taylor gin the Mexicans fits"
 Monterey suggested Buena Vista, on which another person incautioHsly said ::
 sfThar's whar the Indianians run away"
 This was of course at once contradicted by an Indianian, who averred, They ground. That in return was contro- verted. A hot discussion sprang up, which was growing personal, and likely to be rehearsal of the great fight, when friend interfered as paci6cator, by say ing he did not want to be held responsi- ble for what he was about to say, and he thought it would settle the whole diff culty.
 That looked encouraging; but when he commenced by saying that Che heard they were liars as well as towards, " it did not look that way; it looked very much like Free State free fight.
 "Now just hold on till I tell you what I heard, " expostulated the rash friend. "When the Indianians were running away, or falling back, as may be, fel- low was making back track as fast as his horse could carry him. Another fellow lying on the ground, and making as much noise as his lungs would allow, called to the horseman, For Gods sake, take me and save me from massacre.
 "sWhere are you hit ?
 "'Only in the leg.
 "He was benevolently taken up be- hind the horseman, and on they went, until they reached surgeons quarters. Pulling up, tho rider told that functon-
 " Here doctor, here's a case for you.
 "Scalpel looked up from his bloody work, but inquired with evident indig- nation
 "'What did you bring him here for :?
 " For you to attend to him of course!
 "sGo and get his head, then!'
 "The rider turned, and saw bleeding headless trunk. His astonishment was only equaled by his indignation.
 "'The lying son of gun l he bawled out; che told me he was only hit in the legp"
 The friends explanation proved satis factory, as all hands laughed.

Chicago.

Men said at vespers All is we'll In one wild night the city fell; Fell shrines of prayer and marts of gain Before the fiery hurricane. On threescore spires had sunset shone, Where ghastly sunrise looked on none; Men clasped each others hands, and said: The City of the West is deadl Brave hearts who fought, in slow retreat, The hends of fire from street to street, Turned, powerless, to the binding glare, TheEdumb defiance of despair. A sudden impulse thrilled each wire That signaled round that sea of fire; Swift words of cheer, warm heart-throbs came In tears Of pity died the flannel From East, from West, from South and North The messages of hope shot forth, And, underneath the severing wave, The world, full-handed, reached to save. Fair seemed the old but fairer still The now the dreary void shall fill, With dearer homes than those oerthrown, For love shall lay each cornerstone. Rise, stricken city i-from thee throw The ashen sackcloth of thy woe {; And build, as to Amphion's Tyre,
 To songs of cheer thy walls again How shrivelled in thy hot distress The primal sin of selfshnessl
 How instant rose, to take thy part, The angel in the human heart
 Alb not in vain the flames that tossed Above thy dreadful holocaust;
 The Christ again has preached through thee The Gospel of Humanity
 Then lift once more thy towers on high, And fret with spires the western sky. To tell that God is yet with us,
 And love is still miraculous!

HARD ON BUBBY.-A charming actress

HARD ON BUBBY.-A charming actress who plays light parts in theatre, who is also an excellent wife and mother, had been annoyed by the overwhelming at tentions of young down town jeweiler. At last, his notes and bouquets becoming too frequent, she mentioned the fact to her husband, who immediately fired up and threatened to punish the infatuated youth. A powerful athlete, he armed himself with cane of the "eenus bud geon and left his hotel the next morning with the avowed intention of giving his rival few blows and teaching him to mind his own business. Entering the shop where he was employed, he strode hastily through and inquired if there was young man there named H.. "There is, " said the owner of the establishment: ''he is at the window tinkering watches. MT. H.. you are wanted. As the little male firt arose and confronted the large man, he trembled and turned pale. "Did you send my wife these notes " said he, producing some of the offending biUet-doaar. "I-I-yes-I did" stam- mered the culprit, trembling in every limb. He saw the weapon, and he thought his time had come. "Well, we'll, " said the broad-shouldered, big-hearted actor, reaching over the counter and batting the poor, frightened fellow gently on the | top of the head, '.look here, hubby you must not do so any more. And he left poor H.. to the tender mercies ot his fellow clerks.-N. Y. Paper.

READ THE PAPER.-How much more intelligent and fascinating the majority of young ladies would be were they to give little more attention to newspaper reading We do not mean the flash papers of the day which are filled with matter which, fit does no harm, can certainly do no good, but to newspapers those which make us familiar with present character and improvements ol the age. It is we'll enough to know something of the worlds history, but il is with the present we have mainly tc deal, and we know of no more engaging trait in lady's character than fair ac. quaintance with passing events. Every young lady should have an intelligent opinion on the moral, political and re. igious subjects of the times, and the best, and the only way to find this, is to read good newspapers diligently.

SINGULAR EXPERIENCE IN D1pHTHER1A

SINGULAR EXPERIENCE IN DIPHTHERIA. The Lewiston (Me. Joarnal says Dr. Hill has in his possession 8 diphtheria membrane removed from the throat of a girl of fifteen, who was attacked with the severest type of this terrible disease. The false membrane is about three inches in length, completely preserved, and is 8 perfect cast of the air passage from which it came. The film is thick, white, tough, leathery substance, presenting the we'll known chara cteristics observed in attacks of this disease. The girl and her sister came to this city from the Eastern part of the State to work in the mills, and was unweu on her arrival. She went to work one day, however, when she was taken ill with diphtheria. The usual treatment in such cases was resorted to, but the patient grew worse, and breathed with great difficulty: On Sunday she had a violent fit of coughing, and seemed to be strangling. The nurse who had charge of her had the presence of mind to put her finger down the girls throat, and seized the end of something which ap- peared loose there, and pulled out what proved to be the false membrane of which we have spoken. The presence of mind of the nurse saved the girl, who is recov. erinp,

Cruelty to Sailors.

If the charges alleged against Captain Semmes of the United States Navy are true, and court-martial at the Brooklyn Navy Yard has been Investigating them, that officer deserves the severest pun ishment that it is possible to lnf1lct. Re ferring to the time when he was in com mand of the sloop-of-war Portsmouth, it is said that the situation upon the vessel had become so unbearable that while the vessel lay in the harbor of Rio Janeiro there were one hundred deser
 tions guards rowed around the ship in the nighttime, armed with revolvers, and ordered to shoot any one attempt ing to leave the vessel. Men were pun ished for the most trivial offences by be- ing hoisted into boats alongside the ship, tied hand and feet, were left exposed to the blazing sun until they were burned so that their skin peeled off in huge flakes. The grossest indignities were offered to the seamen of all grades, un- der the name of punishment. Some times the Commander ordered man crammed into box three feet long and about eighteen inches deep then heavy blanks were hammered down upon the unfortunate victim,. and in one case a sailor was kept thus crushed and almost dying for one hundred and twenty hours. Men were sometimes chained together by tens so that they could hardly move, and laid out on deck to endure the terrible fervor of tropical nights, until their nervous systems gave way under the intolerable torture, and they were transformed into little less than maniacs. It does not seem possible that such crimes can have been sanctioned by any officer of our navy and only one side of the story has been made known.

THE GAIN OF SUNDAY REST. Says Lord Macaulay We are not poorer, but richer, because we have, through many ages, rested from our labor one day in seven, That day is not lost. While in- dustry is suspended, while the blow lies in the furrow, while the Exchange is silent, while no smoke ascends from the factory, process is going on quite as important to the wealth of the nation as busy days.
