A Beautiful Retrospect.

When the summer day Of youth is
slowly wasting away into the night
fall of age, and the shadows OF 1.-THE past
year grow deeper and deeper as life
wears to 4 close, it is pleasant TO look
back through the vistas Of time upon
the Joys and sorrows Of early years,
If we have q home to shelter, or hearts
to rejoice with us, and friends who
have been gathering around our fire
side, then the rough places of our
wayfaring will be worn and smoothed
away in the twilight oflife, while the
bright sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter II more
beautiful. Happy indeed, are those
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the course of their holiel
feeling, or broken thosc musical chords
of the heart whose vibrations are SC
melodious, so tender and so touching
in the evening Of age.

Labor is Healthy.

When men are suddenly cut off in
the midst of an active business career,
we are apt to say they have killed
themselves with over work. The
truth Is, however, that hard work,
either the brain or the muscles, is sell
dom fatal. 1t does not soften the
brain, or deyitalize the blood, or shat
ter the nerves, or break down the con
stitution. But strong drink does dc
these things, and when used as a means
of stimulating the jaded intellect. or o
imparting "spurt'' Of artificial
strength to the exhausted physique
the result, sooner or later, is always
disastrous. Hence all the "rum ton
ics' are horribly %pernicious.

Some interesting experiments have
been made in England and Sweden,
under the supervision Of eminent sci
c%ntists, relative to the effect which the
cold weather eXerts upon the rails oil
iron and steel which are used for rail
roads. Contrary TO the popular i'm
prcssions, it was found that. when the
thermometer is at zero, the iron anC
steel are about3 per cent. stronger, ant
capable of bearing about that proper
ton more Of weight than at COO Fab
rcnhcit, or ordinary temperature. The
reason assigned tor the more frequent
swapping of rails in the cold season is
that they lie imbedded in frozen ground.
and the impact of the weight on the
rails and their connections is increased
by this rigid support. These expert
mcnts may possibly lead, at some fu

Grant Paying Himself Double.

The New York Sun thus mildly puts
the position Of President Grant In
signing the bill increasing his salary
to $4,000 per nnu TIE Sun says !;
President Grant was re. eIected in NO
vember last. The lie election constitu'
ted a bargain, a contract between him
aud the people of the United States
The people on their part agreedto en-
trust him with the powers n dutles
Of the Presidency four years longer,
and to pay him 5000 year: and he
on his part bound himself to perform
the duties Of the office for that pay. a
clearer agreement was never made ana
could not be made.
The bride offered the President was
certainly q large one, even in those
days Of wholesale bribery. The sum
of S25,000 four times multiplied makes
$1,000 to be taken in for annual IN
stallments out Of the public Treasury
Against such 3 temptation, President
Grant had no resistance to make. For
getting that he had already agreed In
his election to do the duties OF Presl
dent for $25, 900 year, or else indif
ierent to the fact that he was morally
bound by such agreement he did MOI
think Of withstanding the seduction

$780, 600 Of public money or TO refuse

but the act Of accepting it and taking

and signing his name, he gave ~vitallt,

There seems to be nought like the
gaIlows for bringing criminals into a
condition to fit them for heaven. Much
has been saiG against the barbarism Of
hanging men: but who shall say that
it has not its advantages, after all
Scarcely aday passes that we do not
read Of the placid resignation that fills
the souls Of murdcrcrs in the almost
certain prospect they have Of a futurity
Of bliss. Here We read Of n negro in
the South, who, with the rope about
his neck, vas so happy that he said
he wouldn't live if he could, for fear
he might lose his chances for heaven
by mixing with the wicked world
again. lie appeared to have 4 species
Of pity for those who were not going
to be hung. To be sure, he had only
killed a woman and her three children
by chopping them to pieces with an
axe, and set fire to the house in which
the crime was committed. We also
read Off murderer out West who was
50 happy that he was going to die, and
SO eager to reach heaven, that he urged
the Sheriff to hasten the execution so
that he might speed away to eternal
joy. A Chicago clergyman, speaking
on this subject lately, said that il the
scaffold is so effective in preparing
criminals for heaven as it appears to
be, it should be used with increased
'igor as a means of grace. 1t is pain.
ful to reflect that Other 'ogucs are not
half as happy as murdercrs. But we
find that despite the certainty OF bliss
in eternity that seems to console these
condemned men, they leave no effort
untried to keep away from it as long
as possible. How inconsistent?
