1t was night within our bosoms-
1t was night within the sky.
There were seven of us children,
| the oldest one of all,
So tried to whisper comfort,
But the binding tears would fall.
On my knee my little brother
Leaned his aching brow and wept,
And my sisters long black tresses
Ger my heaving bosom swept.
The shadow Of an awful fear
Came DER me as ! trod,
To lny the burden Of our grief
Before the throne of God.
Oh he kind to one another,
Was my mothers pleading prayer,
AS her hand lay like a snow fake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then glory bound her forehead,
Like the glory of a crown,
And in the silent sea of death
The star of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer.
And the hand grew heavier, paler.
In the bnby's golden hair.

Parker went round the other evening to
visit the two Miss Smiths. After con
versing for awhile, Miss Susan cx-
cused herself for few moments and went
up stairs. Presently Parker thought he
heard her coming, and slipping behind
the door he suggested that the other
Miss Smith should tell Miss Susan that
he had gone. But it wasn't Susan; it
was old Mr.. Smith in his slippers AS
he entered he looked around and said to

A QUAKER WoMAN's SERMON My
dear friends. there are three things livery
much wonder at.
The first is that children should throw
stones and brickbats up into fruit trees
to knock down fruit; if they would let il
alone it would fall itself
The second is, that men should be 50
foolish and 50 wicked as to 60 to war and
kill each other, if left alone they would
die themselves.
And the third and last thing that I
wonder at, is that young men should be
so unwise as to 60 after the young wo-
men; if they would but stay at home The
young women would come after them.

stories should. After visiting friends in

enclosed 500 Confederate note, or infor-

clerk to tell the man to go to the chief Of

very polite but distinct language, and
General Spinner signed the letter The
other day an answer came. 1t was to
the effect that the owner Of the note had
done as requested, and that Pluto had
redeemed it with pro,nptuess lie added
that as he was leaving Pluto's banking.

the Treasurer Of the United States was
well known there as partner in the con.

secure its adoption. The wag goes on
to say that Pluto spoke very highly Of

Notification Of Deafh

The journal DIES Connaisances Medicales pub
fishes report road to the Academy OF Medicine
by DIR. Devergie on one hundred and two ESSAYS
sent in on the subject of ascertaning beyond a
doubt whether person is dead or not. The
late Marquis dOurche, who had himself wit
messed the burial of one of his friends who is
still alive, had left the academy twenty thou
sand francs, to be awarded to the discoverer of
a simple and easy process by which any Hitter
ate person might satisfy himself that death had
really and irrevocably taken place. Another
prize of five thousand francs was to be given to
the inventor of a scientific method tor obtain
ing the desired certainty. DIR. Devergie, who
cine, gives an account of all the suggestions
sent in, some of which, proceeding from per-
sons unacquainted with medicine, are abso-
lGtely ridiculous. One of them advocates a
coffin which will open by touching a spring in
side, another an electric bell; third q trumpet
to be blown by person prematurely in
tered, SC. Altogether thirty-two ESSAYS were
considered worthy of serious examination.
The reporter states that the provisions of the
law are exceedingly defective and dead letter
in the country. The Indications afforded by
the glassiness and other appearances of the eve
are insufficient; the eye may appear dead Will I,
the body is living. The heart does rot die last
as has been supposed; after it has ceased throb-
bling, the nerves will continue to live, the arte-
rial systole is NOT interrupted, and capillary
circulation goes on. Death is certain when the
muscular fibre ceases to be irritable by Rhum-
korff-s machine; but that is scientific process
that does not fall within the compass of the
%, COZ prize; the same may be said of the Their
mon eter placed under the arm pit: If the
mercury falls below twenty degrees Centigrade
(sixty-eight Fahrenheit), death may be consid-
cred certain; but in hot weather the instrument
is not to be trusted. The SCOOP prize
has been divided among four competi-
tors; the larger one has not been award
ed, though some Of the suggestions caused
great hesitation among the commission
thus, certain sign OF death is afforded BY the
skin; if it becomes livid; if, touched with Ia
piece of burning charcoal, it blisters without
revealing any serOsity or trace of reaction while
the blisters are filed with vapors. death is COM
plete. Putrefaction is also indubitable evil
dence, but 1t cannot be waited for. If a part of
the body be rubbed with a coarse wet handker-
ehief, or with the back of a knife, and then be
lett exposed to the air, in the course of a few
hours the skin will have become transparent
anu IKE parchment, IL death has really oc
CURED. Again, If light be held to the ton Of
q finger at moderate distance, a blister will
be formed; II this contain serosity, there Ia still
life in the body. DIR. Devergie Concluded with
hoping that the law ordering that death he
medically ascertained will be enforced every.
where, there being now 25 600 communes In
which 1t is totally ignored.

Habits of Eating

A highly edifylng and amusing correspond.
ence has been recently going on in the columns
OF Public Opinion, London periodical anon
the subject of regularity in meals. One scien-
tlhc feeder subsists upon two meals a day and
grows fat upon it. Another takes his regular
rations four times daily, and declares his readi-
cannot get aloug without his regular .snips" be-
tween times, while another holds that life would
be Meeting show without a regular allowance
OF beer at dinner. The subject Is an interesting
one, not only to the bulls ;" whose adipose it's
sue is generally supposed to equal their vorac.
Try, but to the American, whose lean and hungry
aspect suggests dyspepsia and concomtant Wis.
Upon the advantage of regularity of meals ali
medical men agree; but the quality Quantity
and frequency thereof are matters to be decided
by climate, strength of digestive power, occu-
patton, and many other causes The healthiest
rule appears to be to eat little, but often: and
most most people err by leaving the stomach toe
long empty, and then giving it too much to do.
The general custom with us of three meals a
day is good one, and to it may be attributed
