PATH. HOPE. CHARITY.


You wonder why, DER HES rough sea, 49,
Ny frau bark doth 90 gayly glide;
have three Angels by my side,
Three Angels sEl with me.
The hrst, she bids my soul DO strong;
She points me to q cross-scarred form.
I hear nor heed LIES widest storm
While listening TO her song;
She bids me, vhen the waters roll
Heaven-high, 10 look alcft to Him
Before whose brightness stars are dim.
And trust to Him my soul.
The next, an anchor in her hand,
When the heart faints amid the strife,
Ana The black waves yawn for my life,
Talks OF the summer-land;
see the glad port just ahead
wake as from pleasant dream;
Beyond the whirl Of waves seem
To clasp my kindred dead.
The third, the loveliest Of the three
While shfpwreeked banks float to and fro
Bios me with open hand TO throw
My bread upon the sea
And then to hear sweet words Of love,
To see the grateful tear-drops how,- ~
o this to me is heaven below,
And viii be heaven above.
And this is why, mid gloom and glse,
Ny hfe-bark doth so gayly glide -
God keep these Angels by my side,
Till have crossed the seal

OBSTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to destroy,
and may be safely warranted to ruin,
morally and physically. any human be-
ing that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these villianous concoctions, labelled
medicines, than by the liquors of com
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more miscellaneous than
tavern drains. For intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, as well as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, DR.. Walkers
Vinegar Bitters, the ne plus ultra of
vegetable medicines, is positive cure.
But this is not all the great temper
ance elixir is a sovereign specific for the
depraved appetite for stimulants, crea-
ted by the false tonics and bogus restor-
atives, of missionaries of intemperance.
Within the present year many we'll
known citizens have certified that a
coarse of Vinegar Bitters invariably OBJ
hterates the desire for spirituous excl
tRnts.

That period in the life Of a popular
actress in which she, begins to grow old,
is always an interesting, albeit painful
one to those who feel deep and genuine
concern for-her. Thereare some such in
all publics. Everywhere you win find
few deep-natured, wide-hearted PEG
pie who form something like a personal
affection for the particular actress who
has charmed them for many years, and
who observe the coming of the first
wrinkle with a generous pain. They
march alphabetically to the theatre
every time she appears in a new piece
They applaud louder than ever before,
and weep more intensely over the pa
thetic passages. With an amiable PEN
siveness they recall the time when their
idol first appeared befo.e them, radiant
in youthful BEAUTY and with a reputa-
tion still to make. They remember her
brilliant complexion, which, except for
footlight purposes, the cosmetics Of the
stage hid rather than enhanced. They
dwell on her dazzling eyes, and the
magnificent and elegant sweep of her
proud arms, and that fayorite, superb
pose on which the curtain descended
amid thunders of applause. They tell
their children pathetically, that they
neednever expecttosee the like. Nature
is not rich enough to send out two such
prodigies in two successive. generations.
Yes; there is a sort of pathos in watch
ing ones favorite actress grow old.
The crows feet are more nimble than
her own used to be, and every season
she comes amongst us we sadly fancy we
detect a new one. The richness is dying
out of her once noble voice, as the Grim
son of leaf in-late autumn, and when
she attempts the tones of ecstacy or
hate, it triekles off into a dissonant
falsettO. Or perhaps it is acomedienne,
who-is growing gray in our service. She
madly clings to such roles as Juliana,
and on benefit night selects Rosalind.
Amid our admiration for the art that re-
mains and our regret for the glory that
is passed, we find ourselves asking
Why don't she retire" unaware that
the harvest is passed, and she has not
saved. If any friend is so courageous
as to expostulate with her on the exces-
sive juvenility of her favorite roles, she
reminds him that that wonderful septu-
agenarian, Dejazet, acted very recently
the part of a youth of sixteen. It is
plain that our idol thinks she is good
for few years longer. Who is brave
enough to tell aonce beau iful and popu-
lar, but now veteran actress who has
ceased to draw, that she is too old for
the profession, and if she has not the
means to lead life of leisure, that the
only thing for her to do is to give les
sons IN elecution? Alas if an actresses
good sense don't give her this informa-
ton, viii any outside expostulation an
swerP Everybody remembers Madame
Celeste's repeated farewells. Doubt
less it wrung her heart to say the very
last, but it was the only wise thing to
do, and, so far as appreciation of her in
this country is concerned, perhaps it
would have been wiser for her to do it
earlier.-ATc0dian

With the same rate of increase in the
next ten years as in the past, there viii
be more periodicals printed in the
United States alone, than in all the rest
of the world combined. In 1871 the
post-ofice department. of the United
States delivered 80. 61O,5 newspapers.
Yet the post-ofice department performs
but small part of the service of news

Womsa,s prisoa in rranaa


letter TO the New YORK Natioi-1i -
| Onfhe top Of the hin at lcIermont is
the ancient castle of the count of that
name, and in various parts the battle
ments Of old times and the cid walls are
still visible. This fort, which seems
built for eternity, has become a prison
for females condemned to hard labor.
There is not one of the six hundred
prisoners who has not committed he
Nous crime. The director, an old re-
tired officer, insisted upon showing me
all parts of it. The view from the
higher terraces Is admirable, and the
air is so pure that the prisoners enjoy
better health than the honest laborers
of the industrial towns. I could not
help plying the poor Gray sisters who
have voluntarily. devoted themselves to
the reformation and to the guard of the
| female convicts. Some of these sisters,
L was told, once belonged to the best
society. Their life now is the hardest
that can be imagined, for even at night
in the dormitories a constant guard
must be kept. Many of the prisoners
have the most uncomfortable tempers.
They cannot be trusted with knives in
the refectories their meat is cut before
hand, and they eat, Japanese fashion,
with wooden sticks. They work with
sewing-machines, and sometimes use
the needles of their machines to wound
their guardians. The goods they man
ufacture, chiefly bottines, are sold, and
they can make little capital, which is
given to them at the expiration of their
term. The most frightful trait of the
regime is the obligation of absolute 81
lence, day and night. The Gray sisters
told me that with the liberty of speech
among these corrupt and criminal fe-
males they could not undertake to keep
guard over them. ~-i- 45
The sisters never lay their hands on
rebellious convict when. rebellion
takes place, they call for male guardi-
ans, who keep the door and approaches
to the prison, aud who only exception
ally enter its precincts. I found the
prisoners at church, six hundred women
dressed in the same uniform, and sing
ing psalms. This singing becomes
great pleasure for them, as they are
never allowed to talk so does confess
sion, and the almoner confded to me
that he was obliged to shorten and reg
ulate the confessions, as many of the
prisoners would never end them, if it
were left with them to do so. I noticed
with pleasure that there were two sepa-
rate departments, one for the hardened
sinners, old women who are condemned
for life, and who would have bad in
fiuence on the rest of the prisoners and
another flor the young women, CON
demned for infanticide. Their regime
is not so hard, most of them being very
penitent and very young. On the
whole, it seemed to me that the prison
was conducted with as much humanity
as was consistent with the character of
the convicts. But this visit quite filed
me with sadness. I could not help be-
ing Disguised at finding such inmates
in place which was once the favorite
stronghold of noble knights. Henry
w., during the wars of religion, once
took refuge in it there is hardly a
Bourbon prince of the old times who
did not rest in it after hunting in the
wood which cover the plain.

Opening of the Oyster Trade.

The Baltimore American of Saturday,
speaking of the opening of the oyster
trade, states that from ten to fifteen
boats have been engaged in bringing
up oysters during the past week, but it
is expected that their number viii be
increased to forty or fifty on next Mon
day. The oysters that are brought up
to Baltimore the first of the season are
fresh-water natives that are 4" dredged'
or "tongued" in Chester and Miles
river, at Poplar Point, Summers Point,
Thomas Point and Hackett's. These
oysters have poor flavor in the early
part of the season, but as they fatten
and the weather grows colder the fla
vor becomes greatly improved. They
are not bedded, and consequently many
of them are small and unfit for use.
Strange to say, these fresh-water oys-
tiers will keep and carry much longer
than the salt ones. As the demand in
the early part of the season is only for
immediate eating purposes. and not for
packing, the boats bring light loads Of
from $50 to 200 bushels, and sell them
on arrival at from 40 to 40 cents per
bushel. The fancy oysters, which COM
mand much better prices, such as Cher
rystone, York river, and others, do not
begin to come to market before the
middle of September. Old oystermen
predict a plentiful supply of these deli
cious bivalves this year, and the bed
ding last year is said TO have been very
extensive.

THE fair Americans who dressed
their pianos in pantlets are rivaled by q
provident maiden of Illinois, who made
last winter ample garments of heavy
bed-ticking for her peach trees. When
she put the said garments on the trees,
entirely covering them, the neighbors
gathered about and laughed wildly and
said, Chow exactly like a woman" At
the present time they are not SO radi-
antly cheerful, for their trees are either
dead or without fruit, while thoseof that
good woman are heavily bent beneath

" Beaats !" In America.


The early accounts of English trave-
lers in America must have been some
what unreliable, if we may Judge from
Mr.. William Woods "New England's
Prospect, published in London, 1884,
when our Puritan settlement was four
teen years old. Mr.. Wood says, in-one
place :; Having related unto you the
pleasant situation of the country, the
healthfulness of the climate, the nature
of the sole, with his vegetatives and
other commodities, it Will not be amisse
to inform you of such 1rrationaII crea-
lures as are daily bred and continually
nourished in this country. which doe
much conduce to the well-being of the
inhabitants, afording not only meate
for the belly, but clothing for the backe.
The beasts be as followeth:
The kingly Lyon, and the strong arm'd Beare.
The larged lind Mooses, with the tripping Deare
Quill darting porcupines, and Rackeoones bee,
Castelled in the hollow of an aged tree, ~ etc.
Quite an homogeneous Community,
certainly, to dwell together in a hollow
tree; but the author evidently desires
to be very carefully exact in his state
ments, for, after his peotical effusion,
he goes on Concerning Lyons, 1 will
not say that ever saw any myself, but
some affirme that they have seen a Lyon
at Cape Anne, which is not above six
leagues from Boston; some likewise,
being lost in woods, have heard such a
terrible roarings as have made them
much agast, which must eyther be
DEVILS or Lyons, there being no other
creatures which used to roare, saving
bears, which have not such a terrible
kind of roaring" Then theauthor goes
on to show that even if it could be
questioned that "Lyons were to be
found near Boston, there is no doubt
whatever that they are plenty enough
in Virginia, for &c the Virginians, saw an
old Lyon in their plantation, who, hav-
ing lost his Iackali, which was wont to
hunt his prey, was brought so poore
that he could go no further" The be-
lief that lions kept jacllals to hunt
their prey was at one time universal,
and is said to be still believed by the
people in lion regions.
