What to Do in an Emergency,

It is @ good thing to know what to do when man faints away and falls down on the street. pedestrian fell down on Monroe avenue, Detroit, so 8 local paper says, being just off sick bed, and it was wonderful how many men in the crowd knew exactly what was the best thing to do. One called for brandy, another waved the crowd back, another shouted "police" and "coroner, fourth brought bucket of water from saloon, and all the others crowded in as closely as possible and began wondering if the man had his life insured. Some wanted to throw water on the victim, and others thought that his boots ought to be removed, and the man with the slop- pail fell down in it and jumped up and kicked at lame boy. Two boys were sent for doctor, but didn't go, and 8 market woman crowded in and told them to raise the mans head. Some one put brick under his neck, and another general call was made for whiskey, camphor, gin, soda, pop, root beer, ginger ale, vine gar, water, and lager. Nothing was brought, and after 8 few minutes the man opened his eyes, gave his name, and asked to be taken home. After he had departed, doctor arrived, 8 cor oner came pufing along, and the crowd came near having fight as to who was entitled to the honor of saving the mans life.

How They Do Things in Persia,
Cruelty and Cunning of the Shah.

Although His Persian Majesty seems
 so pleasant and so pleased just now
 that European papers abound with an
 ecdotes of his suavity and condescen-
 sion, he has done some awful things in
 his own country. Among them stands
 foremost the treacherous murder of his
 brother inlay, Meerza Tagui Khan, his
 first Prime Minister. Meerza Tagui
 Khan was the friend of Nassr-ed-D Din
 when his prospects of ascending the
 Persian throne were very doubtful, and
 he held only the insecure and slippery post of Governor of Aderbiian. His
 own abilities would never have made 8
 king of him but on the death of Mo-
 hammed Shah the Russian Minister took him up, and Messrs. Ralli & Co.,,
 the rich Greek merchants of Tabreez, found him money, and then the genius and valor of Meerza Tagui Khan did the rest. So the Shah named him Prime Minister, and could hardly have made better choice. The first thing he did was to organize 8 post office-an insti- tuition previously unknown in Persia. The next thing he did was to create a police. Having done these two good services, he tried to establish order in collecting the taxes, which had been grossly mismanaged, and then he made himself enemies, as every one will who ventures to attack public abuses where money is concerned. The tax-gatherers and their creatures now began to intrigue against him, and Prince Dolgourouki, the Russian Envey, was ruined in trying to protect him.
 He was therefore driven into exile and compelled to hide himself at Gas han. Now he had married the Shah's sister when he stood high in favor, and though she did not and could not love him, because he was long past the age of love, she behaved with exemplary fidelity and devotion in his misfortunes. She would not leave him for an instant, and she prepared all his food with her own hands and tasted it herself. So the Shah, being unwilling to commit vio- lent murder in his sisters presence, de- termined to catch his old friend by stra- tagem. With this purpose His Persian Majesty sent messenger of high rank to the fallen minister, assuring Meerza Tagui Khan of full pardon and imme- diate restoration to all his honors. The Meerza at once fell into the trap, and his wife, who could not believe that her brother could be so base and cruel as to deceive her, at last let her husband out of her sight in order that he might take 3 bath and put on the robe of honor which had been sent him by the king, as the customary sign of royal favor. He had no sooner entered the bath, however, than the chief executioner en- tered there also, exhibiting the Shah's for his immediate execution, md merely leaving him choice of the manner in which he preferred to die. The Meerza stretched out his arms re- ,ignedly and said, "Open my veins." The executioneer then bled him to death IS the Shah had commanded.

LOafng.

We quote the following from an ex- change, and we recommend it to all our readers
 "Young man, pay attention. Don't be loafer don't keep loafer's com pany don't hang about l0afng places. Better work than to sit around day after day, or stand about corners with your hands in your pockets for your own health and prospects. Bustle about if you have anything to hustle about for. Many a poor physician has ob- tained real patient by riding after an imaginary one. A quire of bank paper tied with red tape, carried under a lawyers arm, may procure him his first case and make his fortune. Such is the word-st to him that hath shall be giv- en- Quit dreaming and complaining :; keep busy and mind your chances"
 Take the above advice and then all will go we'll. likeness is the mother of mischief.

" Don't Stay Longs

o, why do thy sweet steps delay,
 Since bird and song and breeze are gone? Slighted for hope of thee, the day!
 Without thee night puts sackcloth on! Were away thou shouldst not chide
 One needless moment of delay;
 seek my sunshine at thy side
 Thy voice my song, thy smile my day.
 "Don't stay long, husband" said a young wife tenderly in my presence, one evening, as her husband was preparing to go out. The words themselves were insignificant, but the look of melting fondness with which they were accom- panied spoke volumes. It told all the whole vast depths of a woman's love of her grief when the light of his smile, the source of all her joy, beamed not brightly upon her.
 "Dont stay long, husband" and fancied l saw the loving, gentle wife sit ting alone anxiously counting the mo- every few moments running to the door that he was not, I thought I could hear her exclaiming in disappointed tones, "Not yet"
 "Don't stay long. husband" and I again thought could see the young W11o, IochIuS uorVOuSly III the great arm chair, and weeping as though her heart would break, as her thoughtless 'tlord and master" prolonged his stay to wearisome length of time.
 'Don't stay long, husband," and the young wife's look seemed to say y-for here in your own sweet home is loving heart, whose music is hushed when you are absent here is soft breast to lay your head upon, and here are pure lips, unsoiled by sin, that will pay you with kisses for coming back soon.
 O, you that have wives to say ''Don't stay long, when you go forth, think of them kindly when you arc in the busy hive of life, and try, just little, to make their homes and hearts happy, for they are gems too seldom replaced. You cannot find amid the pleasures of the world the quiet joy that home blessed with such a woman's presence will afford.
 Husbands, would you bring sunshine and joy into your homes Then spend your leisure hours with your families, and employ the time in pleasant words and kind actions, and you will realize in all it's richness what is so beautifully described by the poet:
 Domestic happiness, thou only bliss
 Of Paradise that has survived the fall.

A Pastors Impromptu Speaking.

The Boston Zraveler relates an incl dent which lately occurred in 8 village church in New England. By invitation from the regular pastor, divine from the city filled the pulpit on recent Sunday, delivering an able and eloquent extemporaneous discourse, much to the qualification of his auditors, but some
 what to the discontinue of the regular pastor, who is adapted neither by na- ture nor education to extempore speak ing, and consequently always reads his sermons. On the following Sunday he entered the pulpit as usual, announced his text, and, much to the surprise of his listeners, deliberately closed the Bible and proceeded to speak extem- poraneously. For about ten minutes he moved along nicely, and his hearers were charmed with the change; but then, in the middle of an eloquent period, with hand outstretched and attitude perfect, he hesitated, his arm dropped, he could not collect his ideas, and perceiving that something must be done at once, said: Brethren, let us hold prayer-meeting."

"I'Ve Got Orders Not to Co.,,

''I've got orders, positive orders, not to go there-orders dare not disobey," :" said youth who was being tempted to a smoking and gambling saloon.
 ''Come, don't be so womanish-come along like man," shouted the youths.
 "No, I can't break orders," said John.
 "What special orders have you got !? Come, show them to us, if you can. Show us your orders"
 John took 8 neat wallet from his pocket, and pulled out neatly folded paper. "It's here," he said, unfolding the paper, and showing it to the boys.
 They looked and read aloud: " Enter not into the path of the wicked man. Avoid it pass not by it; turn from it, and pass away"
 " Now" said John, "you see my orders forbid me going with you. They are Gods orders, and by His help, I don't mean to break them."

Rules of Common Law.

Most of the ,mmon law rules of evi-
 dence which still prevail in the crimi-
 nal codes of English-speaking commu-
 mites originated at time when the
 tendency of the courts was towards ex-
 cessive severity toguilty men, and when
 there were scores of offences, ranging
 from petit larceny to high treason,
 which were punished with death. The
 humane maxims-that s'every one &C.,
 cused of crime is presumed to be inno-
 cent until the contrary is proved;" that
 Git is better that ninety and nine guilty persons go acquit than that one inno- cent person should suffer uniustly;" that ''no man should be tried and con demned without an opportunity to con- front the witnesses against him face to face;" that Eff, after hearing all the evidence, there is reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors that the guilt of the accused is made out, they should acquit, which are always repeated and amplified by the defendants coun- sel in their address to the jury, and which were absolutely essential at one stage of the laws history to mitigate it's unquestlonable harshness-have grown into such prominence now that they are made to overshadow many features of the law, the preservation of which are essential to good order, if not to the ex- istence of society itself. So much so- licitude is manifested for the welfare and safety of the accused that the rights of society are often entirely ignored, and when the humanities of the law are perverted into tricks for the encourage ment of crime and the escape of male factors, civilized communities rise in their might and punish guilty men with out regard to the forms of law. This is great evil, but it will assuredly exist wherever the laws, pro- fessedly enacted for the safety of socie- ty, become the refuge of murderers.- St. Louis Democrat.

A FISH STORY. are tame DOT poises in Moreton Bay, England. They bask on the surface of the water not far from shore, and are occasionally fed by the natives, and never disturbed by them. When shoal of fish enters the bay, and comes between the sssea hogs" and the land, the people go out to sea ward of them, and rouse them from their siesta by striking the surface of the water with spears and paddles. The porpoises then chase the fish, catch and eat some, and drive the rest in shore {; and as soon as they come within the proper distance net is shot around them, and spendid haul is often made.

A NEBRASKA C1ERGYMAN's TR1A1s.- A private letter recently received in Boston from minister settled' in Nebraska, contains the following: 'Last Sabboth I preached in the morning and oficiated at the Lords table with a pair of boots on, one leg of which was en- tirely gone; but we had rich and bles- sed time. I did not think of my boots, but my wife did. We economized and scrimped and pinched to get along dur ing the past year without going into debt, and have nearly kept clear, but it has been by living in sod-house and denying ourselves many of the very necessaries of hfe.'

CUTTING HAIR.-There is often some difference of opinion between parents and children as to the frequency with which the hair of the latter should be cut. The operation is tedious, not to say irritating, and most children en- deavor to increase the interval between their visits to the hairdresser by all possible means. The controversy be- tween the two parties may now be de- cided by precedent. This has been afforded by the recent decision of the Finance Committee of the St. Pancras Eng.) Board of Guardians, which re- ports that once in six weeks is often enough for hair-cutting to take place. Here is, at all events, something to go upon, and we trust that no young Absaloms will refuse to submit to the scissors after that period, and that no parent will require the sacrifice before the lapse of that interval.

Do Not Sing That Song Again.

Do not sing that song again, For it fills the heart with pain; I am bending to the blast, And it tells me of the past,
 Of the long, long ago. When my days were young and fair, Andmy heart as light as air When one feeling filled the breast, And one image gave it rest,
 In the long, long ago. Do not sing that song again have lived my years in vain, And my hair is thin and gray, And I'm passing fast away, On the sweeping downward streams. I'm awreck of idle dreams; ... And it puts me on the rack, At the weary looking back, At the ebb and at the flow,
 In the long, long ago. Do not sing that song again There's tear in it's refrain; It brings sadly back the time When my manhood felt it's prime; When the comrades, dear and true, Warmer, closer, fonder grew In the hour of friendships proof, When the false ones stood aloof, And their friendship was but show, In the long, long ago. ... Do not sing that song again, It abstracts my weary brain. An, too well, alas I know It is time for me to go, And to leave to younger eyes The mild mystery of the skies, And the mighty world we tread, And the grander age ahead. There's mist upon the river,
 And there's bleakness on the shore: And in dreams pass forever, ..s.... While sad music waits me Ger.
