Disasters like those OF the Metis
bring out by sudden intense test
the quality that is at the bottom of
men. The courage or cowardice,
the nobleness or the sellishnesa,
that is partly hidden by the petty
course of ordinary life, flashes out
in such moments of supreme trial.
Yet those who fail are not to be
hardly judged; many may fail un-

sure, who, had they time to adjust
themselves to circumstances, would
prove essentially heroic. But We
know nothing grander than what
is implied in such sentence as
this: "One young II an.voluntari-
ly surrendered a piece of debris to
which he was clinging, 20 mother
and babe, and after letting go his
hold he disappeared, never to rise
again."

SCIENTIFIC DABBLERs.

Probably the majority OF Amcri-
cans get their ideas upon scienti-
fic questions from the newspaper
and the pulpit. The meagrc
quantities Of scientific lore picked
up in the coumon schools end in
most of the colleges arc scarcely
important enough to be worth
noticing; and the knowledge doled
out in the form of popular lectures
is SO often beaten up into frotb, to
suit tie tastes Of those who listen
merely to kill time, that it may
also be left out of the question.
| But week after week tue clergy
hurl forth their anathemas against
the prcfanlties Of science, and day
after day the newspapers quote the
sayings of the popular reviews.
And but too frequently ciergymen
and journalists are both mere
scientific dabblers; not always, but
woefully often. Quite naturally,
then, much Of the Information
given is practically worthless.
The really important discoveries
are r arclynoticed until they ere
years old, for these retailers OF
scientific gossipescarcety ever know
what is of value, and generally
content themselves with giving
remarkable theories broached by
intellectual quacks, or brillian,
illustrations, with the principles
themselves left out. The surface
is given, but the meanings lying
beneath a-e neele ted.
! At the present time natural
science is favorite ( cid for

And, strange as it would seem at
first sight, their energies are usu-
ally directed to the highest and
most difficult objects. The sciolist
rarely wastes his thoughts upon
simple mattere. Aad plainly, since
he is ignorant of that whicl, he
expounds, it is better for him to
leave common things 10 common

ONE DAY IN MAY.
BY D. n. JORDAN.

BY d. n. JORDAN.
From the Fat Contributors Saturday Night
Dim was the woodland and fair was the
weather,
And blue were the skies of the beautiful
May.
When laughing and singing We wandered to-
gether
With hearts attuned to the happy day.
We sought the shade where the birds were
singing,
And busily building the simmer rest,
Where the branches, ever swayiug and ing
ing,
Should rock the twittering brood to rest.
TIE leaves of the forest were green and ten.

The grass was velvet under our feet,
And tropical ferns in graceful splendor,
Dropped over vio!ets tender and sweet.
And tie brook, released from its wintry
prison,
Sang DER the pebbles and laughed along;
And the meadow lilies, newly risen,
Drank in the joy Of the happy scng.
The earth was psalm of love and beauty,
Because of the buds and the budding flow
ers;
And it seemed to US but a happy euty

And never till life and its dreams are over.
And the sun has set on my latest day,
Shall fade from my heart the face of my
lover,

Grants Justice to Soldiers.

When the steamers ran into
Vicksburg after the capture of that
city by our forces, for the purpose
of carrying the furloughed soldiers
home, some CT the captains took ad
,vantages Of the soldiers cagerness,
to charge the most outrageous
rates. One of these heartless mon
ey grabbers was brought to terms
by Grant in the following manner:
The steamer had its decks
crowded with soldiers. Grant ask
ed a man in The wheel house who
was giving orders loudly:
care you the Captain OF this
boat?o
Eyes, General"
'How many soldiers have you
ON board p
"ASont twelve hundred and fif-
ty."
"What have you charged for fare
to Cairo?"
''Fro.n ten to twenty five dollars
each, General"
'Ten to twenty-five dollars each!
is that all ? Why that is too mod
eratc7 1t is pity that you should
aave to take the boys for so small
sum. You hal better wait a
while"
Speaking to the officers on board
ne walked away. Then the steam
whistled, the bell rsng, and the
wheels began to move slowly, bu,
for some reason she was rot cast
off; tue men could not understand
it until, in few minutes, an order
came from the guard to keep tile
steamer until the Captain raid back
all over seven dollars taken 70,
fare from each officer, and all over
five dollars from each soldier, and
the order was obeyed. Tue men
knew that they had been victim
ised, but felt helpless. When the,
learned what the General had
done, they gave three cheers fol
| Grant with will.
!, Grant said to one Of his staff:
"Pll teach these steamboat mer

Matrimonial lncompatibility Uavoid-
able.
From an Essay by Rev. A. P. Peabody, d. d.
The truth is that the greater
proportion of the so-called incom
patabilities and uncongenialities of
domestic life, which are SO often
made the ground for the disruption
of the matrimonial bond. are mad
missible as iastifying ground for
any such dissolution, and .ou!d
readily be overcome and blotted
out of existance if the parties most
concerned had only tho will to do
it. A couple are no sooner mar
ried than they find that differences
Of opinion and mutual jars ensue,
and all is not gold that glisten ed;
and then one or both straightway
imagine that there is no remedy
but in rulhlessly breaking the sol
smn, sacred tie that binds them.
A vague, restless feeling seizcs up
on one or both, producing discon-
tent, engendering certain thought
of present bondage which exists
mostly in fancy, and. creating a
teverish desire for other associa-
tions and spheres which are sup
posed to be more fitted and provi
idcntially designed for the mind
and heart. No escape. it is said,
but in cutting the knot. IL is u
delusion. The marriage relation,
in all its history, was never expect
ed, perhaps, to he entirely free
from misunderstanding and dis
cords. Foolish TO think that the
whole mutual lie can flow on, like
the earlier streaE:, without ripple
or eddy. Home is q school, a dis
cipline, whereby husband and wife
are to grow into each other, get
ting rid of their angularitics, har-
monizing..their peculiar character
is,ics, and more and more bccom-
ing one in though, sympathy and
life. The true bless edness Of wed
ded souls is not ensured by sim
PIE exchange of plighted.faith. Il
comes through, and after many .
self-denial, many crucifxion oI
, the will, many scourging Of th'
| resentment, anger, pride, vanity
and passion of the heart. 1t il
true here, as in other relations. tia
r he ~ho saveth his life shall lose il
and he that loseth his life shal
; save it.

The first man killed in the war
of the revolution WAS on Rosten
Common, and Massachusetts blood
was the first to flow in the war Of
the rebellion. Massachusetts, fur-
nished the heart and brains of the
abolition movement. There never |
was day nor all hour when the
black fugitive could not receive
food and shelter and sympathy
from the people Of the old Bay
State. The nation has followed
the leadership of Massachusetts
steadily since the trouble about
the tea in Boston harbor, and what
honor America has obtained among
the powers of the earth, is daein
large part to this implicit follow
, ing. Massachusetts, does not pro-
! pose to yield the leadership. The
. Republican State convention in
! session at Worcester Oh the 2Sth
ult., adopted, with scarcely o dis
senting voice, q platform which
! included the following resolu
tons:
! Resolved. That we heartily ap-
prove Of the recognition Of the
right which is contained in the
l4th clanse of the National Repub-
lican platform, that the Republican
party of Massachusetts, as the
representative o: liberty and pro-
gress, is in favor of extending
suffrage on equal term to all Amer
can citizens, irrespective Of sex,
and will hail the day when the edu
Gated intellect and enlightened
conscience OF women find direct
expression at the ballot-box.
The Republican party of Massa-
chusetts plants itself squarely in
the van of progress. Heretofore
the motto Of the Massachusetts
Radicals has been, Crust the
manhood of the nation" Now
they add the inevitable CO rrollary,
Trust the womanhood Of the ia
tion.".
The cause of woman is inevite
bic and unconquerabie, The wealth
she has gathered, the sceptres shs
has worthily swayed, the volume
she has written, entitle her to th,
ballot. The nation can not aifort
much longer to disiranchise tn
betto- and purer part Of its popu
lation. The country needs he
ballot. The cause of honesty, ant
ofpurety at the polls, calls for he
assistance. Men may laugh at tn
woman movement, but it will no
yield to scoiIing. Every step il
. the worlds progress has been me
by the same derision. So the Jew
laughed gleefully at the carpel
: .er's son who preached eightee
i, hundred years ago in the valley
: of Judea, little dreaming that til
poor NazArene was founding til
religion Of civilization.
Invisible forces of good help tn
