SINGING IN FAMILIES.

Children are delighted with poetry
at early age: and what is loved in ear
ly life cannot be easily effaced in later
years. A lady informed US few days
since, that when very little girl she
had learned hundreds of hymns and
poetical effusions-not of childish,
but of pure and elevated character.
This early discipline, she says, has
been safeguard to her all her life--a
preservation against sin and folly.
Among the German forefathers it
was common practice, in professedly
Christian families, to teach their chill
dren hymns and spiritual songs. The
afforded them to fill up the time which
would otherwise have been spent in
idleness, it not in something worse.
Frequent repetitions of them at in
tervals, prompted to efforts to connect
the poetry with music, and this grad
ually led them to acquire taste and
cultivate talent for singing. To this
simple practice may be attributed, in
great degree, the finely cultivated
musical talent of the German people.
Singing in the family adds greatly
to the interest of devotional exercises,
especially among children. 1t makes
the family altar and home circle a
pleasant place. The influences of vo-
cal music of social character have
always been very happy indeed. Show
us the family where good music is
cultivated, where the parents and
children are accustomed often to min
gle their voices together in song, and
we will show you one, in almost every
instance, where peace, harmony and
love prevail, and where the greater
vices have no abiding place.-Rural
NeaC Y YorEer.

from the most vivid red to the deep
est blue; nullpores, yellow or pink,
delicately touched as the peach, COW
ering deeaying plants with fresh de-
velopment of life, and themselves en-
veloped with a black tissue of reti-
pores resembling the most delicate
carvings in ivory. Near by are the
yellow and lilac fans of the gorgona,
worked like jewelry in filagree.-
Strewn over the bottom are the thou
sands of seatars, and sea-urchins of the
most curious forms and varied colors.
The fiustra, the escheara attached to
branches of coraI-like MOSES and
lichens, and the patellds striped with
yellow and purple, look like great
cochineal insects on the ground. Then
the sea anemones looking like i'm
mense cactus flowers, brilliant with
the most glaring colors, adorn the
clefts of the rocks with their waving
crowns, or spread out their blooms,
till the seabottom resembles border
of many colored ranunculuses.-
Around the coral-bushes play the
humming-birds of the oceans-bril-
liant little fishes, now sparkling with
metallic red or blue, now with gold
en- green, or with the soft hue of sill
yer. All this marvellous manifesto
tion of life is displayed in the midst
of the most rapid alterations of light
and shade, changing with every
breath, with every undulation that
ripples the surface of the sea.
We have nat yet fairly touched up
an the animal life of the sea-itself a
world of wonders. 1t is enough to
require chapter to itself.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

A dealer in pork has a precocious
son who was expert in cards, and, in
playing with his young companions
was seldom on the losing side. He
began at first to bet on the game, and
ere long would play regularly for
money with any of his age disposed
to accept the risk. He came home
one day bringing several dollars which
he had acquired in his small way of
gaming, and exhibited his gains to his
father with an air of triumph. The
thoughtful father shook his head and
told his son that the money was not
honestly acquired. "But 1 did not
cheat" SAID the boy. "I hope not"
replied the father; I" but did you give
the loser any equivalent for it ?" The
boy hung his head and the parent
added, Money is honestly gained
where there is an exchange of pro-
ducts or services, and the receiver gives
an equivalent for it; to take another
mans property and give him no equiv
alent for it is to rob or cheat him."
A few months after the father came
home from the Produce Exchange
with an elated aspect, and announced
that he had settled his speculative con-
tracts in pork by the receipt of nearly
$51, 900. His son eyed him steadily a
moment and then said: What did
you give the other man, father, as an
equivalent for the money!"

A fire occurred at Findlay, Ohio,
commencing about half past three
o'clock on the morning of the 25th.-
An ice house and two stables were
destroyed. a thrilling incident of
the fire is related by correspondent:
In one of the buildings three kegs
of powder were stored when the fact
became known the crowd began TO
run; but not SO with a young man
named Harry Ebb, who seeing that
unless the powder was removed from
the burning structure a terrible loss of
life and property would result, sprang
forward and crying" Stand back, there
is powder in here and I am going
to get it out" rushed into the burning
building. For moment he was lost
from sight, but in moment reappear-
ed bearing in his arms two kegs of the
powder, which were soon in a place
of safety, but the third still remained.
But Ebb did not count the cost. Again
telling the crowd to stand back, he
pushed his way into the flaming mass.
AS he passed throughthe building the
flames were leaping and kissing all
around, dense masses of hot black
smoke almost blinded. him, but moth
ing stayed his purpose. Before he
reached the object of his search the
6eg had caught fire, yet without
seeming to notice his terrible danger
he picked up the powder and carried
it from the building-carriedi it
Through the jaws of death,
Up from the mouth of hell.''

THE LOCUSTS.

Says the Baton Rouge Adoocdte:
The woods bordering upon and con-
tiguous to Cypress Bayou and the
Comite Rivers are vocal with myriads
of locusts that are destroying tender
vegetation in that locality fast and
furiously. AT certain hours of the
day the noise made by their wings has
the sound of the escaping of steam
from thousand of safety-valves.-
They differ from the ordinary or seven
year locust, in this that instead of the
g w" on their backs, they have that
letter raised on their bodies, under
each wing. Those who profess to in
terpret such phenomena, say that these
locusts are omens of war and woe >
others declare that they are diminu-
tive specimens of the genus carpet
bagger, and the forerunners of the
Ku-Klux bill, while others of a more
practical turn say they are the seven
teen year locusts. All agree, we be-
lieve, that these locusts appeared i'm
mediately preceding the Florida,
Mexican and Confederate wars; and
only on those occasions.

I'VE BEAT HIM.

A farmer cut down tree that stood
so near the boundary line of his farm
that it was doubtful whether it be-
longed to him or his neighbor. The
neighbor, however claimed the tree,
and prosecuted the man who cut it
for damages. The case was sent from
court to court. Time was wasted,
temper soured, and temper lost; but
the case was finally gained by the
prosecutor. The last we heard of the
case he went to the lawyers Office to
execute a deed of his whole farm,
which he had been compelled to sell
to pay the costs. Then, houseless and
homeless, he thrust his hands into his
pockets, and triumphantly exclaimed,
" Tee beat him."

cUK1os1T1Es OF GLYcERrNE.

A new chapter on the witcheries of
chemistry was opened by the ingen-
ious Frenchman Chevreul in 1917,
when he discovered that fats are salts
of which the base is a bland, sweet,
syrupy liquid called glycerine. Its
property of long continuing moist,
while it is not OF greasy nature, has
made it an agent of great utility in
medicine and the arts. 1t is used to
correct hardness and dryness of the
skin, in deafness, sore throat, in urj-
nary calculi, and as vehicle for ad-
ministsring other medicines whose
properties it is desirable to Disguise
1t is admirable for keeping poultices
long soft. 1t has various uses in the
toilet; function in photography; it
is admirable for preserving soft bodied
animals and is valuable to the micro
scropist for his preparations.
When glycerine was about thirty
years old, that is in 1S47, an italian
for it. Its composition was found to
be triatomic alcohol, and it was ca
pable of forming what are called sub
stitution compounds. When allowed
slowly to trickle into a mixture of
nitric acid and oil of vitrol, at low
temperature, two atoms of its hydro
gen are replaced by two of protoxide
nitrogen, and there results a heavy,
oily liquid known as nitro-glycerine,
a body which has more than ten times
the explosive power of gunpowder.-
1t has come into extinsive use for
blasting, and the number Of terrible
accidents that have happened from it
by explosion from mere friction, il
lustrates not only the tremendous for
of atomic tensions, but how exquisite
is the balance by which such terrible
agencies are kept in equilibrium.

eRANnFArHER.s BARN.

Oh, don't you remember our grandfather's barn,
Where our cousins and we met 70 play;
How we climbed on the beams and the scafolds
Or tumbied at will on the hay;
How we sat in row on the bundles of straw,
And riddles and witch stories told,
While the sunshine came in through the cracks
at the south,
And turned all the dust into gold?
How we played hide and seek in each Granny
and nook,
Then made a coach of a hogshead of rye,
And on it to Boston - we rode?
And then we kept store. and sold barley and
And corn, by the bushel or bin:
And straw, for our sisters to braid irto hats,
And fax, for our mothers to spin.
TLen we played we were biddies. and cackled
and crowed.
If the weasels were killing the old speckled hen,
Or whatever the matter migb5 be-
How she patted our heads when she saw her
mistake.
And called us her sweet chicken -deaIs p
While a tear dimmed her eye Us the picture re-
The scenes of her own vanished years
How we Uttered and swung, and played meeting
And Indian and soldier, and bearI
While up on the rafters the swallow kept house.
Or sailed through the soft summer air.
How we longed to peep in their curious nests
But they were too far overhead;
So we wished we were giants, or winged like the
birds,
And then we'd do wonders, we said.
And don't you remember the racket we made
When selling at auction the hay;
And how we wound up with a keel over leap
FROM the scadold down into the hay?
When we went into supper, our grandfather said,
If he had not once been boy
He should thought that the Hessians were sack
Or an earthquake had come to destroy

TOO GOOD A RECOMMENDATIONS.

A patent medicine vender in one of
our principle cities was dilating to a
large crowd upon the wonderful eff
cheney of his iron bitters, pronouncing
them the great panacea, and all-potent
in building up an &c iron constitution"
'sThat is so-that is so," said by
stander.
What he tells you is fact gentle
men-every word of it."
"Hear that, will you ?" cried the de-
lighted quack here is living tes-
timony right before your own eyes
a man who has used the bitters and
can recommend them"
"No; not exactly that" replied the
old fellow; 81 have never used the
stuff myself, but, you see, Steve Jen-
kins did, and they jest saved his Ii e."
How's that?" questioned some
one.
swell, you see, Steve had taken the
bitters jest one week before he was
showed in prison for murder. He was
stripped of every thing in the shape
of iron about him, and he made the
bar and worked his way out"
" Probably he had whiskey enough
in him to furnish bar" suggested a
wag.
" No, but he. didn't" retorted the
first. GO He had been taking this mans
iron bitters, dye mind? and what
does Steve do but open vein in his
arm, and took iron enough out of his
blood to make crowbar, and pried
the gates open with il, and let himself
out. Factw
The medicine man subsidized, and no
more was heard of him in that quar-
ter.
