The Ideal Dwelling.

No man will build house to suit his
inmost necessities, unless he proceeds
Independently of all modern rules OF
construction. Some of these are good
enough, but they 1early all culminate
in an ambitious externalism. The bet
ter class of dwellings, erected IS years
ago contained broad staircases, spacious
sleeping-rooms, and a 1iving-rOom,
where the whole family and the guests,
withal, might gather at the freside.
The house was an expression of hospi-
tality. The host had room for friend
ships in his heart, and room at his
hearthstone.. The modern house, with
its stiff ,angularities, narrow halls, and
smart reception-rooms, expresses no
idea of hospitality. It warns the strang-
er to deliver his message quickly, and
be off. Tt is we'll adapted to small con-
ventional hypocrisies, but you will new
er count the stars there by looking up
the chimney. One may search long to
find the man who has not missed his
aim in the matter of house-building. 1t
is generally needful that two houses
should be built as a sacrifice to senti-
ment, and then the third experiment
may be reasonably successful. The
owner will probably wander through the
first two, seeking rest and finding none.
His ideal dwelling is more remote than
ever. There may be q wealth of gilt
and stucco, and an excess of marble
which ought to be piled up in the GEM
etry for future use But the house
which receives one as into the very
heaven-which is, from the beginning,
invested with tie ministries of rest, of
hospitality, of peace--of that indefnable
comfort which seems to converge all the
goodness of the life that now is with
the converging sunbeams-sucha dwell
ing does not grow out of the first crude
It will never be secured
until one knows better what he really
wants than an architect or a carpenter
can tell him.

The Emperor Napoleon and Lord
Lytton as Whist Players.

A writer in Westminster papers dis
cusses the qualities of the late Emperor
Napoleon III. and the late Lord Lytton
as whist players. OF the former the
writer says: Throughout life he en-
joyed his rubber. Whilst young he
was bold even to rashness, as many of
the French school are, and later on the
characteristics that marked his career
in the political world were shown with
exactness in his whist. He never SEEM
ed to know his own mind. The scheme
of the game with which he started he
failed to carry out. An over-stubbOrn
player is bad player, but the man who
will not work out his ideas, but turns
aside from too slight cause and chan
ges his tactics, is often the worse player
of the two. This was the Emperor's
defect. He changed his suit when his
only chance of safety rested IN sti ,king
to one." Os Lord Lytton the writer
remarks: 'He was a good player, and
nothing more. The majority of whist
players early reach the same stage of
excellence, which is only passed by
those who have natural genius for the
game, and this genius Lord Lytton had
not. He could scarcely be considered
an enthusiastic for the game, as more
than once he gave up his practice for
several years together, only resuming
the pursuit when, as occurred to him on
two or three occasions, his pet physician
of the hour recommended whist as like
ly to be beneficial to his health. At
these times he was constant player at
the Portland, and he occasionally made
up pleasant whist parties at the Kneb
worth. He was exceedingly slow in his
play, and at times he appeared absent
and unable to concentrate his thoughts
on the matter before him. Yet after
one of these reveries he seemed to be
able to recall all that, for the moment,
he had lost. One can easily imagine
that such mind had many more pleas
ant creatures of the fancy in his brain
than ordinary nortals. He was deaf,
and we generally find that deaf people
are more attentive whist players than
others, and this is doubtless owing to
the fact that their minds are not so east
ly diverted. His defect in whist was
want of perception, or lack of power to |
draw correct inferences from the fall of
the cards, for, although he could play |
double dummy well, at whist he did |
not seem to take the full advantage of |
the position of the cards when they |
were presumably known to him. With |
such a mind, with so much study and |
practice with the best players, it is
strange that Lord Lytton, who did |
everything else well, and who SO nearly |
to the top round of the ladder |
in every walk of life, should have failed |
to reach eminence in whist; but, with |
out doubt, so it was, and we can not ac-
count for the fact, unless it was that he, |
in common with all whist players, ne
elected to put down the hands that he
had PLAYED"

And the dark Piutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast;
Let thine arms, o Queen, support Ms
Hush thy sObs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.

Though no glittering guards surround IN,
Prompt to do their masters will,

Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw world away!
Should the base plebian rabbls
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her, say her Gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious Scrceress of the Nile,

With the SplendOrs of thy smile.

Triumphing in love like thine.

Duty of Rest.

There is false idea prevalent about
resting enough in few weeks of the
summer to last the year. However full
of delight and peace the lazy hours in
the country, however freighted with
rest and strength the long days by the
sea, we cannot hoard and carry away
enough of the precious store. Every
twenty-four hours is circle of its own
in which to tear down and build up,
and whatever is spent between one sum
rise and another must be made good
from food, recreation and rest, and
whoever commences the morning al
ready tired in spending too much some
where, will find that a system of paying
natures past debts by drawing on the
future will make him bankrupt, But

Embalming Superseded,

The scientific men. OF the world have
made many great and noble discoveries
for the benefit of mankind while alive, as
also for the preservation of their bodies
when dead, from the destroying ele-
ments of decomposition. In the olden
times, spirits were used for the purpose
of preserving the corpse from decOmpo-
sition but in latter years science has
improved on this method, and the pro-
cess of embalming with chemicals has
been adopted instead.
In the course of investigating the de-
stroying element tLat enter dead bodies,
Mr. Peter Craig, undertaken, Market
street, perceiving that oxygen was the
element that caused decomposition, it
struck him that if this element could
be removed from the coffin, where the
body was encased, that preservation
would then be certain. How to ac-
complish this at first rather puzzled
Mr.. Craig. But not to be baff1ed by
trifes, he gave the subject great con-
sideration and knowing that combus-
ton was caused by the union of the
carbon of the material and the oxygen
of the air, he tried the experiment of
using up the oxygen in the casket by
the aid of lighted candle. He had an
air-tight casket made and placed a
burning candle therein; he screwed
down the lid perfectly air-tight. The
candle continued to burn for eight
hours it then, having consumed all
the oxygen in the interior, was extin-
guished. This proved the theory, and
satisfied him that he had made an ex-
csllent discovery; but, to carry his
ideas out effectively, he obtained the
body of dead man from the coroner,
and placed it in the coffin, with the
lighted candle as before, screwing down
the lid, etc. In this case the candle
burned for five hours and half, and
then became extinguished as before. To
test the case Mr.. Craig had the body re-
moved to back room, where is re-
manned for three weeks in a perfect
state of preservation. This satisfied
him beyond a doubt that he had sue
ceeded in discovering new art whereby
bodies could be embalmed without the
aid of chemicals. After having sue
oAeded SO we'll with his invention he
drew the attention of DIR. Edwin Bently
to the process, and that gentleman ex-
pressed his firm belief in its success.
The new process is to be fully tested
to-day with the body of Mr.. Gowenback,
who died in this city on last Tuesday,
and whose body has been preserved in
in this manner The body can be seen
at Corinthian Hall this afternoon, where
it will be brought previous to its re-
moval to the Masonic cemetery 1t is
the intention of this gentleman's rela-
tives to have his remains taken to Scot
land. This will test the process, and,
should it prove satisfactory, which is
not doubted, Mr.. Craig will have added
a new process of preserving. bodies to
science. California.
