A HALL OF TORTURE. Henri Brown, in sketch "Down the Danube" :" says: The Rathhaus, or Town-hall, of Ratisbon, a gloomy and ungraceful pile, was mostly built in the fourteenth cen tury. The imperial diet held it's sessions there from 1868 to 1906, and the saloons of the diet have not been altered, and still contain the benches, arm chairs, and tables used by the ambassadors. The dismal dungeons in which prisoners were tortured are shown for fee and on going into them noticed the bench of the judge, protected by an iron grat- ing lest he might be killed-as he de- served to be--by She miserable wretcheS in whose suffering lie delighted. There arc the rack, the wheel, the thumb screw, the spiked helmet, the burning pincers,, the fiery cowl, the straining cord, the bone-crusher, the fiery furnace and all the implements of torment which we blush to think were freely used by our ancestors a little more than century ago. The collection of devilish devices for producing pain is larger at Raitsbon than at the National Museum in Munich, or the Arsenal in Venice.

RUNNING IN DEBE.-There is nothing that makes 0 man more contemptible in his own eyes than owing money when he cannot pay it. He feels that he is in a false position that instead of ranking with the respectable portion of society he ought to take his position with the meanest classes, for he is walking about under false colors in other peoples clothes, feeding surreptitiously from other peoples tables, living in houses, lodging, and using furniture that do not belong to him, and that if he were to act like an honest man, and pay for what he has, he must dress less, eat plainer food, and dwell in back streets he would then be far more respectable man than the scamp who willfully incurs debts which at the time he knows he cannot pay. Many an honest man is brought into untold endorsements by an extravagant and thoughtless family, and by the pernicious system of long credit giving by retail merchants. Now this system of buying on credit is sim ply ruinous, and really creates habits of extravagance ;; it seems so easy to look forward to meeting payment which is six months distant ! Keep out of debt, my friend. Pay cash for every article which you or your family require, and regulate your expenditure according to your income, trusting nothing to the future which the present cannot provide for. Better little privation now, than debt and ruin hereafter.

i NRwsPAPERs.-Their value is by no means appreciated, but the rapidity with which people are waking up to thelr ne cessity and usefulness is one of thesignifi- cant signs of the times. Few families are thirst for knowledge is not easily satiated, and books, though useful1,yea.s absolutely necessary in their place, fail to meet the demands of youth or age. The village newspaper is eagerly sought and it's con- tents as eagerly devoured.| Then comes the demand for the county news.n Next to the political come the literary and then the scientific journals. Lastly, and above all, come the neral and religious journals. The variety is demanded to satisfy the cravings of the active mind. '' "''.''''s.,':''. ! Newspapers are also valuable to material prosperity. They advertise the village, county or locality. They spread before the reader map on which may be, traced character, design, progress. If stranger calls at hotel, he first inquiries for the village newspaper; if friend comes from a distance, the very next thing after fam lily greeting, he inquiries foryou village or county newspaper, and you feel discomtited if you are unable to find late copy, and confounded if you arc compelled to say you do not take 1t. The newspaper is just as necessary to fit a man for his true position in life as food or raiment. Show us a rag ged, barefoot boy rather. than an ignorant one. His head will cover his feet in aftel
 life if he is well supplied with newspapers Show us the child that is eager for news

A PLEA FOR THE LITTLE EFOLKS.-Don't expect too much of them it has taken forty years it may be, to make you what you are, with all the lessons of experi- ence and I will dare say you. are a faulty being at best. Above all, don't expect judgment in Q child, or patience under trials. Sympathize in their mis- takes and troubles don't ridicule them. Remember not to measure q child s trials by your stondard. "As one whom his mother comforteth," said the inspired writer, and beautifully does he convey to us the. deep,, faithful love that ought to be found in every woman's heart, the unfailing sympathy with all her childrens griefs. When see children going to their father for comfort am sure there is something wrong with their mother. Let the memorles ot their childhood be as bright as you can make them. Grant them. every innocent pleasure in your power. We have often felt our temper rise to see how carelessly their plans were thwarted by older persons, when u little trouble on their part would have given the child pleasure, the memory of which would last a lifetime. Lastly, don't think a child hopeless because it betrays some very bad habits. We have known children that seemed to have been born thieves and liars, so early did they display these. undepiable traits 1; yet we have lived to see those same children become noble men and women and orna- ments to society. We must confess they had wise, affectionace parents: And whatever else you may be compelled to deny your child, by your circumstances in life, give it what its most values plenty of love. ..........-....

A Np,v ErnTrrrzFp TRADE VT

A NEW FERTILIZER TRADE.-A writer in Tke London Tt4mes relates that in the mummy pits at Sackhara, Egypt, he saw many persons busily engaged in search ing out, sitting, and sorting femora, tibie, and other bony bits of the human form, which almost crusted the ground thereabout. Nine camels were employed to bear these in nets to the riverside, where vessels waited to carry them to Alexandria, whence they were shipped to English manufacturers of manure. The trade is brisk, and is said to have been going on for years, and may go on for many more. It is truly Q strange fact to preserve ones skeleton for cen turies, in order that there may be fine Southdowns and Cheyiots in distant land, But then Egypt is always 9 place of wonders

POISONED HERsEnF.-A couple ot

POISONED HERsELF.-A couple of young ladies from the country came into Peoria, Ill few days ago for the pur- pose of attending the Normal School, and having obtained rooms on the bluff, took possession of them. They had not been in possession long before they found that the rooms were infested with mice and rats. They therefore procured some arsenic, and in the evening one of the ladies spread piece of bread with butter. and putting on some of the poison, covered the whole with some sugar. Instead of immediately putting the deadly viand where the animals she wished to kill would be most likely to get at it, she foolishly laid it on the table and prepared another piece of bread for herself Tn the same manner, of course emitting the arsenic. This piece she laid on the table beside the other, and taking up book, drew chair beside the table and commenced reading. Absorbed in reading and yet conscious that she was hungry she, without look ing up, reached out her hand and took what she supposed to be the harmless food. But she had taken the wrong piece as she suddenly found, and phy- sician was hastily summoned. He re- mained with the sufferer all night and the next day until he thought she was out of danger, although very sick.

ROTH SIDES OF THE PICTURE.

Two women sat together at sunset in the porchyard of white cottage that stood under its ancestral tree," among its fields of wheat and corn, like a poets vision of quiet rest ing place for some weary, suffering human soul. .. -.........i .... ..:...,......
 And one of these two women had eyes to see, ears to hear, and heart to feel and ap- preciate it all. She was tall and stately lady, apparently some thirty years of age not exactly handsome, but with a grace of air and manner peculiarly her own. The careful toilet, the nameless air of elegance and luxury, the pale cheek, the soft white hands, betrayed the city dame. While the weary glance of her dark blue eyes, which even the quiet of that sunset hour could not drive away, showed that time had not dwelt gently with her and her hearts idols, but had thrown them, scattered and ruined, at | her feet.
 Her companion was some five years her l junior, and many times prettier--a little round faced, apple checked woman, with dark-blue eyes and dark-brown hair, and a rounded figure that was set off to the best advantage by the afternoon dress of tinted muslin that she wore. ..i i.r...;... ,.. .......: At present the handsome face was almost spoiled by "a querulous, discontented expres- sion. She was contrasting her own hand plump and small, but certainly rather brown, with the delicate, slender white fingers Of hel city friend, all glitteripg with rings. ....
 "Just look at the two!' she said. "All that comes of making butter and cheese, anG Sweeping the house, and dusting, and wash ing dishes, and making beds all the time That man told the truth when he said that woman's work was never done. l know Imine never is.

NEW METHOD OF STORING GRArN.- A plan has been submitted to the French academy for storing wheat in portable sheet iron granaries, in which vacuum is maintained equal to at least from three to four inches of mercury, this being found sufficient to destroy all insect life (although a more perfect vacuum is pre- ferreI, and to insure the evaporation of any moisture in the grain. The appar- atus is of cylindrical form, placed verdi cally with convex top and bottom. The rtop is provided with an.opening through which the inlet of grain is led, with a waive pipe through which the air is ex- hausted, and with, a guage by which the degree of exhaustion IS indicated. The grain is removed through an opening in the bottom. In an experiment., where living insects were introduced in large quantities with the grain,; it was found that they were all killed before doing mischief, and at the end of six months the wheat was found to be in as fine con- ditions as at the. outset,-N,. ?.

For the Spectator.

Mr.. EDlToR.-There seems to prevail luEe
warnness, and indisposition to 60 to the polls
next Tuesday, among the Conservatives OF the
city of Staunton and county Of Augusta, that is
truly astounding, AID which threatens the sue.
cess of the Conservative ticket. 1t is well
known that every effort is being made by the
radicals to carry Staunton, and even the coun-
ty. 1t is their boast that they will do So
How? By the strength of their party in our
midst2 By no means. They expect to accom-
plisb this, as they boldly state, by polling their
whole vote, whilst many avowed Conservatives
will stay away from the polls. Let the Con-
sentative party adopt some means by which the
the name Of every man, who fails to vote on
next Tuesday, may be obtained and published
so that we may know who are with US and who
are against us. This no time for hesitation and
neutrality. This is no contest on nere political
issues. Upon the result depends every right
that a freeman should hold sacred. The right
of person, of property and of self government
hangs 10 the balance. Therefore let us know
the names of all those who prove recreant In
the hour of trial.
