DON'T LET MOTHER DO IT.

BIT CARRIE ALTON.
DAUGHTER, don't let mother do iti
Do not let her slave and toll
While You cit, useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to son.
Don't you zee the heavy burthens
Daily she is wont to bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hairf
Daughter. don't let mother do it!
Do not let her bake and broil
Through the long, bright summer hours,
Share with her the heavy toll;
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her cheek the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughters, don't let mother do It'll
She has cared for you so long,
ls II right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling for the strong!
Waken from your listless languor,
Seek her side to cheer and bless;
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughters, don't let mother do It!
You viii never never know
What were home without mother,
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daisss,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home, so sad without her,
Never to return again.

The Fly on the Ceiling.

How the fly supports itself in opposition
to the laws Of gravitation is one of the
first questions that the juvenile philoso-
pher undertakes TO solve. As his small
stock Of science is not sufficient TO enable
him to master the mystery, he consults a
book or questions friend. From one or
the other Of these he learns that the insect
supports itself by means Of tubular shaped
vessels which enable it TO exhaust the air
from beneath its feet when they are press
ed against surface. This being done the
upward pressure of the atmosphere holds
piece of apparatus known as the Sucker"
is designed to illustrate how fly supports
itself from ceiling.
Recent investigation, however, seem to
clearly show that viscid fluid and not an
atmosphere pressure is the means whereby
a fly can walk on ceiling. The follow
Ing would seem to be convincing proofs of
this tn ory An insect was chloroformed
to prevent its relinquishing its hold, and
being in receiver the air was exhausted,
but it still kept its place. Every foot.step
leaves mark on the surface OF a clean
piece Of glass that can be distinguished
with q microscope. The existence and
secretions Of this fluid being thus clearly
proven, it is plain that it would interfere
with any attempt at suction; and it seems
certain that exhaustion Of air and the
secretion of this fluid could not 90 on at
one aud the same time, through one set of
vessels This fluid is very tenacious, and
nearly insoluble. In all probability it is
the material that so often holds flies and
other insects SO securely to the place
where they spent the night that they can.

alb ,urdities of female fashions, says
Seven or eight years ago bOnnets were
hung on the back OF the head, and slipped
down on the shoulders, instead Of being
perched on the forehead and tipping over
the nose, as they now are. At that time a
bride i'm the vicinity of Boston left her
fathers house soon sfter the marriage cere-
mony, and rode seven or eight miles In a
winter evening to the dwelling OF her
husband. She became 80 silent curing the
latter part of the ride that the bride room
was al4rmed, and, there being no house In
light, he drove as rapidly AS possible.
Arrived at his own door, he lifted a corpse
from the sleigh. Her bridal bonnet hal
afforded no protection from the severe
cold, and her brain was frozen"
A GRAVE MIsTAKE-A queer mistake
occurred recently in burial, by family In
Cincinnati, tf young German woman
who had died at a pest house, under the
supposition that they were burying their
mother, who was supposed to have died at
that institution. The mistake occurred in
telegraphing death from the pest house
to the Cincinnati Hospital, the patients
nnmber being used instead of her name
The wrong number was given, or taken, in
the sending or receiving Of the message,
and it happened TO be that Of the old lady.
Notice that she had died WAS fent to her
relatives. They, without caring to ex-
pose the body on account Of the disease
(small-p had 1t turned over 10 them in
q nest burial case, and Immediately buried
IL. After the usual season Of close mourn
ing, they were startled by the announce
ment from the hospital that their mother
was in fair way TO recover.

Too MANY IRONS IN THE FIRR.-The Peace
Society of Pennsylvania held its sessions in
Philadelphia last week, and their patchwork
platform is a curiosity in its way. Resolutions
were adopted denouneing wars, fighting, armies
and navies, and fayoring the policy OF non
resistance to every oppression. They further
propose to bring about the millennium by re-
pealing the s.war clauses" of the Constitution
and restricting the sale of deadly weapons. This
is all silly enough, because utterly impracticable
but the convention travelled out Of its way to
tackle other social problems, and announced
itself as opposed to capital punishment for the
commission of crime; in favor OF universal
suffrage for men and women; opposed to the
use and sale CT intoxicating liquors, and i'm favor
Of prohibitory law. These peace men make
the same m stake as most reformers," who
think that laws can be framed to effect all sort
OF social and political changes. Their concep-
ton of government, If carried out, would be the
worst kind OF despotism. for they would prescribe
by statute not only what men should do, but
what they shall eat, drink, and wear, and even
what they shall feel and think. Every year
through the efforts Of demagogues, laws are
placed upon the statute books throughout the
country which remain dead letters because it il
impossible to enforce them.

Bad State Of Affairs i'm Cuba.

DANGER TO AMERICAN CITIZENS -PRoMPT
ACTION BY OUR GOVERNMENT.
Late advices received by the government from
Cuba indicate that serious difficulties are liable
to occur at any moment, and that the lives and
property of Americans on that island are not
safe. The Spanish officials have shown an in
difference i'll protecting Americans residing
there, in consequence of which our citizens have
been maltreated by the Cuban volunteers, and
the probabilities are that attempts will be made
by the volunteers to drive them from the island.
The condition of affairs has been made known
TO The Spanish authorities at Madrid by our gov
eminent, but nothing beyond fair promises
have been made by the Spanish government.
A dispatch from our Consul General at Havana
yesterday stated that immediate protection wa
needed for American citizens. The matter was
therefore before the Cabinet yesterday and an
order was given that all the vessels of the North
Atlantic fleet should rendezvous Immediately at
Havana, to be ready for any emergency. A tel
egram was sent to Key West for the double
TO proceed at once to Havana, and
it is thought she arrived there to-day.
Rear Admiral Lee, in command OF the North
Atlantic fleet, had a lengthy consultation with
Secretary Robson yesterday and this morning
he lett here for Boston, where he will join the
Worcester, and proceed at once 10 Havana. The
Worcester will be used as his flag ship tempo
rarily during the repairs to the Severn. 1t is
stated that Admiral Lee has instructions to bring
the guns of his feet to bear upon the city of Ha
vana in case any injury is done by the inhabitants
The vessels of the North Atlantic feet in ser
vice are the Terror, Kansas and Nipsic. The
Severn and Swatara are undergoing repairs, but
the Shawmut, recently fitted out for the South
Atlantic fleet, has been ordered to temporary
duty with the North Atlantic fleet. Other yes
sells which can be gotten ready for sea without
delay will be fitted out to reinforce the fleet
Ii is believed that Minister Sckes was ordered
home for a conference with the President and
Secretary OF State in regard to the troubles, and
that his visit to this country is not one OF pleas
ure, but in pursuance Of orders. The difficulty
Is regarded as a serious one, and the govern
ment is fully warranted in taking these steps
for the protection Of our citizens.
