HYMN FOR A LITTLE CHILD.

God make my life little light,
Within the world to glow:
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever may go.
God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song,
That cOmfOrteth the sad:
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little staff,
WhereOn the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbOr best.
God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise;
Of faith-that never waXeth dim,
In all his wOndrOUs ways.

DURATION OF TnBER-It is a curious
fact, and one of great practical import
ance IN structural science, that in the
salt mines of Poland and Hungary the
galleries are supported by wooden
pillars, which are found to last unim-
paired for ages, in consequence of be
ing impregnated with the salt, while
pillars Of brick and stone, used for the
same purpose, crumbie away in a short
time by the decay of their mortar. It
is also found that wooden piles, driven
into the mud Of salt flats and marshes,
last for an unlimited time, and are used
for the foundations of brick and stone
edifices; and the practice Of docking
timber, by immersing it for some time
IN sea water, after it has been seasoned,
is generally admitted to promote its du-
rability. There are some experiments
which appear TO show that, after the dry
rot has commenced, immersion IN salt
water effectually checks its progress and
preserve the remainder of the timber.
If care be taken to renew the coat of
paint as often as 1t decays, wood on the
outside Of the buildings may be made
TO last for centuries paint, however, Is
no preservative against the internal or
dry rot, notwithstanding the opinion 50
generally prevalent to the contrary.

CLEAN HANDS.

The world moves. 1t is not So respect
able as it was Il few years ago to be ras-
cal. People are learning the lesson that
clean hands are desirable, both for per-
sonal comfort and pleasant social inter-
course. They really seem to be learning
that purity pays. and that personal honor
and lncorruptibleness are good invest
ment. Rogues and rings are having
tough time OF it, and it Is their own fault
if the young and ambitious men who are
now coming upon the stage OF action do
not learn to place so high price upon
themselves that neither wealth nor power
can buy them. The rascalities OF the
New York Ring are all exposed, and the
members of the Ring have either run
away, or are staggering before public
opinion and the law, disgraced and degra-
dcd men. Bribery in Congress stands ex-
posed and rebuked, while names that
were pure have received tarnish that
can never be polished away. Men who
have held their heads high in the nation.
bow those heads in shame over hands
which are soiled beyond cleansing. We
call no names, but scatterdu and down
the land. great regulations lie in ruins.
Men who had wealth which they stole,
and men who had positions which they
bought, and men who used their public
office to push their private schemes. are
thrown high and dry out of influence,
and lie all exposed upon the rocks of dis
grace, where they are sure to rot or go to
pieces. If the young politicians Of the
country will learn q lesson that the facts
which we recounted are so well calculated
to teach, better times for the country lie
in the future. Personal advantage is a
mean motive to appeal to, where SO vital
n question as personal purity is concerned.
but, as there is no danger to morals from
any other appeal, it is well to meet tempt
alton on its own ground and fight 1t
with its own weapons. The lesson of the
recent exposures is really needed by none
but those who fancy that they can COM
pass their ends best by base means; and
if these shall learn from it that, in the
long run. nothing pays so well in wealth
and power and safety and comfort as
virtue, they will learn that which will be
of incalculable benefit to them and to the
country. No money was ever won by
treachery to trust that did not harm the
winner. No power was ever achieved
by bribery or retained by falshood that
did not scorch the palm OF him who held
IT, The consciousness of ill-desert, the
loss of self-respect. the fear of exposure

WOMEN AS DOCTORS.

Dr.. Charles H. Thomas, in his recent
yaledictory address at the twenty-hrst
Commencement of the Philadelphia Wo-
mems Medical college, summed up the
progress made by women, both In this
country and abroad, in entering the med.
ical profession. He said: Though Il Is
less than quarter of century since
this-the first college in the world organ
lied specially for the medical education Of
women-began its work, and scarcely
that length of time since the first woman
OF modern times received diploma In ell
departments of medicine, to-day witness
es the solid establishment Of institutions
for their thorough instruction among most
OF the great nations OF Europe, as well
as in the leading cities of this country
And while, no longer than five years ago,
the number of women throughout the
world engaged in professional prepara.
ton was hardly three score, to-day more
than as many hundred are quietly engaged
In fitting themselves to enter upon the
way which the labors of their elder sisters
and the advancing spirit of the age have
! made tenable. From late issue Of the
British journal we learn that 800 young
Russian women have claimed admission,
as students in medicine and surgery, to
the newly opened Medical school OF St..
Petersburg. As the. number of students,
however, is fixed at 20, there will be a
great number disappointed The London
Lancet informs us that there are now 6S
lady students studying at Zurich, and that
a lady NJ. ID. is assistant to the professor
of clinical medicine. adding: '.As the
number of male students at the University
is only 20S, it will be seen that the ladies
constitute nearly one-fourth of the whole.
The first lady graduated there in 1867
The former authority also states that all
restrictions on the admission of ladies to
the lectures and laboratory practice of the
Pharmaceutical society of London. (vhere
Miss Garrett graduated) have been re-
moved The day for the general, unqual-
flied and formal professional recognition
of women as physicians is doubtless close
at hand. seeing that several ladies are now
in active membership in leading medical
societies represented in the American
Medical Association. To cite some strik-
ing recent instances, Mrs. Gerry and
Misses Rutherford and Baker were elected
members of the Michigan State Medical
society at its last annual meeting, as were
, also Miss Tying, by the Rhode Island So
ciety, and Miss Porter by that of Kansas.
1t is interesting to us to note that all these
ladies are alumni of this College. And,
further, two of the admittedly greatest
universities of the country now offer to
women (medical students) the same facil.
tiles for study as are enjoyed by men.

The insurance oil lives forms mos
important subject for study and reHsc
ton. Every person should be insured
and the only question is, IN what com
pany TO insure. All other things being
equal, il is clear that you should insure
in the company having the largest as
sets on which to realize interest; in
the company that manages its business
at the least expense, and in that which
receives the largest increase, because
such a company can always make the
largest dividends TO the pohey-hOlders,
provided it be all mutual. Snch COM
pany is the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York, whose statement for
the year ending December, 1872, can
be found in the columns Of the LEDGER.
Its expenses in 1872 reached the nm
heard Of and unprecedented low point
of G 90 per- cent. or less than 7 per
cent and foF ten years past has not
been in excess of 10 per cent This
eompany's mortality falls about rs per
cent. below the expectation Of mortality
which it takes as the basis Of calcu la,
ton for its reserves, and as the COM
pany pays no renewal commissions on
old business, and only i0ur times on the
new, It mast realize immensely larger
surplus for making dividends thansothsr
companies The company could to-day
decline taking any more new Eisks, and
yet pay out at maturity all her claims,
and remain With a large surplus. An
other most important fact is that now,
for the first time in thirty years, persons
can get insured for climate, and without
being put into a Southern class, or
paying q higher Ease. BY getting into
the Mutual Life in Memphis today you
can do so on precisely the same rates.

No more spurious Champagne.

/
From the New York Norld.l
Although ostensibly not intended for
a sumpiuary regulation, the act provid
ING stamp duty upon imitation wines
bids fair to put an end TO the trade in
spurious champagne, and leave the mar
ket open either TO native production or
the genuine foreign brands. The clause
providing this duty form, section iorty-
eight of the internal revenue act Of July
20' 1868, as amended by the act Of June
6. 1872, and went into effect on the DAD
ultimo The act provides that toe So
called limitation wines, not made from
grapes grown in the United States and
in which there was an infusion Of any
matter in spirits, should be subject to a
duty Of twenty cents to the quart, in the
shape Of a stamp which was to be affixed
to the cork Of every battle. This, Of
course, while II served for q profitable
revenue, aimed directly at the spurious
brands Of champagne aud other wines,
which had for their base cheap
claret or sauterne not made from
grcpes graYa in the United States = and
which obtained their foam and sparkle
from the infusion Of spirits of some
sort. The effect Of the sane duty would
be to dub directly all these ylHea native.
and render them liable to seizure, Thus
the . importer of these various Piper
Heidsieks" and "Veuves Cliquots, if
he avoided the Scylla of proclaim:ng
himself cheat, would run against the
Charybdis Of violating the internal rev,
ems sst. It Waq still LEFT .os the nm
serHpul9ns resialrantepFs and hotel
proprietoFs to purchase the counterfeit,
and, removing the stamp, put them on
their tables as genuine, but knowing
them to be counterfeit, they would not
be willing to nay rempneFatYa. prices,
and again the " impGFteF would he q
loser. The enforcement Of the regula-
ton has worked like a charm. Although
it is but little more than a month since
the act went into effect, il is stated
ep good authority that all, pF
nearly all, the manufacturers Of imi-
tation wines in the city have gope
out Of the trade. TbSy. baye AQt
only discharged tAelE Aen, Int have res
moved their machinery and leased their
premises formerly occupied in re dis
tillatisn Of their cheat. There will ne.
cessarily be many and successful at
tempts 70 eyade tho law, and the manu-
faottre OF tue imitation wines will be
continued in under ground and out of
the way distilleries, but the amount so
manufactured will be but a small pro-
portion Of the myriad = baskets Of the
same which have heretofore continually
been made. Should the law be strictly
enforced the market in time will be en-
tIrely freed from the hnrtful limitations
of the harmless products Of the grapes
Of sunny France. The act does no, Of
eouras, apply to wine made with grapes
grown in the United States, but is so
construed that the introduction Of car
bonic acid gas after bottling is regarded
as an Infusion of matter in spirits" so
that the more modern mode Of mann
iacture becomes liable TO the tax. 1t is
thus construed in the interests of various
native wine companies - the West, who
manufacture after the old method and
thus avoid the tax,
