THE CARELESS WORD.

Twas but careless word;
As thistle-down it seemed as light,
1t paused moment on the air
Then onward winged its flight
Another lip caught up the word,
And breathcd 1t with naughty sneer,
It gathered weight as on it Sped
That careless wOrd-in its career
Then rumor caught the flying word
And busy gossip gave it weight,
Until the little word became
A vehicle of angry hate.
And then that word was winged with fire,
Its mission was thing of pain;
For soon it fell like lava drops
Upon widely tortured brain.
And then another page of life
With burning, scalding tears was blurred
A load Ofcare was heavier made
Its added weight that careless word.
That careless word, o how it scorchcd
A fainting bleeding, quivering, heart!
Twas like a hungry fire that searched
Through every tender vital part.
How wildly throbbed that aching heart!
Deep agony its fountain stirred;
1t calmed, but bitter ashes mark
The pathway of that careless word.

The following is a translation of par
agraph found in the writings of Profess
sor Won Liebig, the distinguished Ger
man chemist: "The white wines are
hurtful to the nervous system, causing
trembling confusion of language and
commissions. The stronger wines; such
as champagne, rise quickly to the head,
but their effects are only Of short dura-
ton. Sherry and strong cider are more
quickly Intoxicating than thegenerality
of wines, and they have peculiar in
auence on the gastric juices Of the
stomach. The intoxicatison Of beer is is
heavy and dull, but its use does not
hinder the drinker from gaining flesh.
The drinkers of whisky and brandy are
going to certain death. Red wine is
the least hurtful, and, in some cases,
really beneficial"

MALLEABLE GLAss.-One Of the lost
arts, which skill and science have for
hundreds of years been making efforts
to rediscover, is the production of mall
leable glass. It was mentioned by
many ancient writer's, especially by
Pliny, who speaks of it as being in
dented when thrown on hard sub
stance, and then hammered into shape
again like brass. The world uses q
vastly greater amount of glass now than
during the early ages, but have never
been able to overcome its brittleness.
That accomplished, and it would enter
into uses not even suspected now, and
probably dispute with iron itself for the
supremacy as an agent of civilization.
A glass spinner in Vienna has recently
made discovery that may lead to the
recovery of the lost link in the chain of
early invention. He is manufacturing
thread of this maternal finer than the
fibre of the silk worm which is entering
largely into the manufacture of vari-
ETY. of new fabrics, such as carpets cush-
ions, table-cloths, shawls, neckties, fig
ures in brocaded in velvet and silk,
embroidery, tapestry, laces, and null
titude of other things. It is as soft as
the finest wool, stronger than silk
thread, and is not changed by heat,
light, moisture, or acids, not liable to
fade. So important is the matter
deemed, that while the process is kept
a profound secret, the Austrian Minis
ter OF Commerce has organized already
schools for spinning in various places
in Bohemia, and variety of manufac-
tured articles are now for sale, and will
no doubt soon reach America. If it
shall finally end in the rediscovery Of
malleablc glass, so that it can be
wrought or rolled into sheets, it will
revolutionize much of the worlds in
dustry. Indeed, no one could safely
predict to what uses it might not be
applied, as the material is plentiful in
all lands Mankind have long waited
for it. Let US hope that the time is
near when SO great q boon will be vouch-
safed to them. London Tines. .r

A PIECE OF PORK.


In the N. Y. Farmers Club, which
holds its meetings in the Cooper insti-
tute every Tuesday at one o'clock, all
subjects are discussed. We clip the
following from recent report on A
Piece Of Pork"
An anonymous correspondent al
luded to the movement of Mr.. Curtis
for the improvement of the breeds of
swine He thinks this is very good as
far as it goes; but when you have sue
ceedcd in stocking the country with the
best hogs, please make an effort to in
duce people to keep them in the way
they should, instead of confning them
in filthy, small pens, too filthy almost
for language to discrbe; horrible,
loathsome, and disgusting to refined
and sensitive minds. Some people
have the idea that they can keep hogs
in this way, and feed them on almost
any filthy substance-old, sour swill.
still slops, becves' inwards, etc.-and
make healthy pork, or at least they can
sell it, and let the customers take the
effects Of it. 1t is better, of course, to
keep the best breeds, instead of the
dirty, filthy, scrofulous-lookins hogs
that many do; but even if the best breeds
are raised, and not kept in the way
they should be, 1 argue, as heretofore,
that it would be far better not to raise
them at all. The weight of argument
is all against raising and eating them,
notwithstanding 80, 200, 900 are annual
ly raised. 1t shows the depravity, ig-
norance, and willfulness of mankind.
1t is very great wrong that so much
precious grain, which would be SO
wholesome and nutritious as food for
man, should be converted into hog
grease, which contains no nutritious
element, and, like alcoholic drinks, is
not digested, and like them, affects the
brain, though in different way, max
ing the mind more dull, stupid and
vicious, besides corrupting the blood,
and disordering the system in various
other ways, of those who eat much of
it, for years; or if they stand it without
any apparent i'll effects, it may be
transmitted to their offspring. Fat pork
is not needed to give strength, vivacity,
and the power of enduring the cold.
If the Bible is the work of man, Moses
and Aaron understood what was, and
what was not, suitable meat for man to
use as food, much better than the ma
jority of the people of the present day
even the minority of the New York
Farmers Club"

SuNFLowERs AS FUEL. oliver Wendell
Holmes propounded recently series of
questions to be answered one hundred
years hence. One was. "What would
succeed coal as fuel when the coal sup
ply was exhausted?" This was diff
cult question to find an answer for; but
it has just been published that Wata-
wan Co., Mimi, raises sunfowers for
fuel, the oily seeds making hotfire, as
does the stalk when dried, and that a
two-acre field of sunfowers will furnish
a supply of fuel sufficient for an ordi-
nary family through the winter. Will
the doctor accept sunAowers as an on
swer to his question? .t.t...
