Italy and Germ nv.

Some two days ago we learned that Emperor
William had made up his mind to make
visit to Rome on an early day. Taken in con-
necton with some other facts of the moment
this projected visit to Victor Emmanuel is not
without significance. Germany is cultivating
the most friendly relations with Spain and
it would seem as if the German government
were determined that the most stable govern
ment in that country should have reason to
regard Germany as friend. All things indi-
cate that the German government is resolved
to take position in Europe worthy of itself
and commensurate with its power. Italy, for
the first time in many centuries, has made
naughty demand ON France. The steamship
Orenoaue, stationed at Civita Vecchia, has
1t has been kept there ostensibly for the pur-
pose of sheltering His Holiness the Pope in
the event of his attempting to escape from
Rome. Fallen as France is from her high
estate, would Italy have dared to make this
demand without encouragement and promised
support from Germany? We think not. It
is quite manifest that Germany means, by
alliances and otherwise, to keep France in her
own proper place. Some trouble, however,
may grow out of this Italian demand

DROWNED.

The flashing lighthouse beacon pales before
The rudy hsrvest-moon's intenser ray,
That battles, and changes into sparkling ore,
Its stones of granite gray.
Round the tall brigs the greedy ripple laps,
As with the ebbing tide they softly swing
A shore-belated sea-bird slowly flaps
His strong-plumed dusky wing.
The pier-lights, imaged on the waters, melt
To silver pillars, such as visions show
OF palaces where tabled Caiphs dwelt
In legends long ago.
A single boat steals down the moonlit track,
Through the still night its oar-strokes echo far
Fringed with cleft light, the outline sharply black
Heaves on the harbor-bar.
Whit strange freight fills 1t? Yonder heavy sail
Covers some form Of blurred and s~hxpelesa
dread.
Rude is the pail, but fitted well to veil
The oceans outcast dead.
His name, his story? Vain it were to guess,
But short to sum. q waif, a mystery;
Deaths mocking gloss upon LIES loneliness;
A secret Of the sea.

REALISTIC Accessories.

The play-actors of New York are
greatly excited at the row which has
taken place between Manager Daily and
his leading man, George Clarke. If
the latter hadn't much histrionic skill
to boast of, he could at least pride him
self upon a mustache whose merit was
recognized by half the maidens attend
ant upon the m~atinees. DAILY is q real
list. One evening he was in the audi
forum of his theatre when "TheS School
for Scandal" was on the boards, and
observed what had not struck him be-
fore, thst Charles Surface, otherwise
Mr.. Clarke, was actually violating the
proprieties by wearing a mustache. In
stantly he dispatched a bulletin to the
green-room, directing that all mus
taches be shaved by the next perform
ance. Clarke saw the mandate and was
enraged. He instantly sought an in
terview with the exacting manager.
What followed is narrated by the local
press Of New York, which thought the
subject of sufficient interest to inter
view the actor. One of the journals has
the following:
"'Mr. DAY. said L, Il shall not
shave my mustache for to-morrownight.'
But said he, 'the order has been
posted requiring it His answer
CALLED me- said Mr.. Clarke. His men
ton of the order smacked of fines and
forfeiture / felt as though I was being
bought and sold, and 1 rebelled.' Mr..
DAILY said Clarke, Il will not play to-
morrow night unless I can play with
mustaches. 1t will be no great viola
ton of the unities of the play. 1t has
been so played before. Lester Wallack
acted Charles Surface with both side
whiskers and mustache. If you wanted
me to be the Hunchback would you
send me to a gymnasium to break my
back? 2 L have nothing more to say to
you,' repli d Mr.. DAILY. 'Then,' said
Clarke, you can make your first appear
ance on the stage as Charles Surface.
I play for ambition as well as money,
and l must leave you Then Clarke
changed his clothes, took his hat, and
left the theatre"
Clarke has been long enough out Of
employment to regret his haste. By
maintaining the integrity Of his mus
tache has sacrificed a salary of 800 per
week, and though lots of girls have
written encouragement ard consolation,
he does not find that such letters put
money in his purse.

baby, cry, stick your finger in your eye,
and tell your mother it was L"
"Stop, Fred! What is the meaning
of this ?" asked his mother, very much
displeased.
Charley did not answer, but Fred
began to tell what a bother his brother
was" wanting his books just as he
had put his library in such splendid
order"
ooh; so Charley began the quarrel,
did he ?"
"Oh no, mamma, 1 did not say that !;
he did not want to quarrel, he was only
a bother and a plague"
"Did you call him SOP"
"Well," said Fred, standing on one
leg, and turning red, "I did"
Just at this moment the sister of the
boys, a pretty young lady, stood at the
open door and called out "Charley
you dear little curly-wig, come here !;
here are two golden bananas, and I
must have a kiss apiece for them"
Charley ran and curled his arms
round her neck, crying, ooh, thank you,
sister Kate" aud kissed her so hard
that he made a deep rosy spot OF her
cheek. Then what do you think he
did? Why, he flew to Fred and gaze
him the biggest banana.
Fred took it eagerly, and was just
about to strip off the golden skin, when
his mother said, "Stop, Fred, you
have your books all to yourself; Char
ley "a easily eat both the bananas +; 1
Am surprised that you would accept
one-the biggest one, toe-from such "a
plague and a bother ="
1t was Fred's turn now to feel un-
happy. He laid down the fruit, and
going slowly to his bookcase, he took
down Robinson Crusoe," and said,
"Take it, Charley, and look at it as
long as you like"
"Oh, thank you, BROTHER" cried the
little boy, running to Fred and kissing
him a~tfectionately.
Big tears sprang into Fred's eyes.
He was ashamed to look at his mother,
as she drew him to her side, andputting
her arm round him, said, 81 am sure
havefound out how neal and selfish
you have been how full Of egotism.
You were thinking, What a fine fellow
Iaml What a fine library belongs to
ne. I'm not going to disturb my books
for such q snip as Charley This feel
ing is called egotism, and now that you
know the meaning of the word, l do
hope that you will never again practice
the vice"
"And may he have the 'bandan-
ner 2" asked dear, generous little Char
ley.
"Yes," answered the mother, and she
kissed both her boys.
My dear little readers, do pray and
strive against such a selfish, mean feel
ing. Never boast of yourself or yoar
possessions. Lend your books and toys
to each other gladly by doing thus,
you will keep that dreadful monster
with the long name-Mr. Egotism-out
of your dear little hearts.
And now / am not certain whether l
have preached a sermon, or told story.

TIE HOUGS AT WHICH DEAF OC
CUR.

TIE HOUGS AT WHICH dealt &C
Cur.
In n paper contributed by DR.. Law
son to the West-R Riding Asylum Medi-
cal Reports, England, for 1874, several
interesting observations are recorded
regarding the number Of deaths which
occur during the different hours of the
day. Following up the researches of
Schneider and others. vino had shown
that the greatest number of deaths take
place during the ante-meridian hours.
DR.. Lawson has been able TO determine
more closely the tine of day when the
greatest and least number of deaths oc-
cur. Supplementing the statistics of
other institutions by those of the West
Riding asylum, he finds that deaths
from chronic diseases are more numer-
Gus between the hours Of 8 and 10 in
the morning than any other time Of the
day, while they are fewest between the
hours of s and 10 in the evening. In
the case of acute diseases, such as con-
tinued ~tevers, pneumonia, etc, n differ
ent result has been obtained. Follow
ing up what had been pointed out by
other authorities, DR.. Lawson shows
that the largest number of deaths from
this class of diseases take place either
in the early morning, when the powers
Of life are at their lowest, or in the al
ternoon, when acutc disease is most ac-
tive. The occurrence of these definite
daily variations in the hourly death
rate is shown, i'll the case of chronic dig
eases, to be dependent Oh recurring
variations in the energies of organic
life 4; and in the case of acute diseases
the cause is ascribed either to the ex-
istence of a well-marked daily extreme
of bodily depression, or a daily maxi
mum intensity of acute disease.

What a long word! What does it
mean? Perhaps the little story will
tell you.
Once upon a time Fred was arranging
his library ms dear little b~ookcase-his
last Christmas present.
"How nice they look :" he exclaimed.
I'm the boy to fix things up tip-topl'
On the first shelf, Robinson Crusoe,'
Nightcaps,' 'Popguns,' and William
Henry's Letters to His Grandmother /;
'on the second, 'The Rollo Books,
Socks Jack Hazard and Doing
His Best ;; and ON the last all my st.
Nicholas magazines. Aha !" he chuck
led. "that looks jolly, l declare.' and,
standing on one foot, he whirled round
and round, until he tumbled against
the wall.
LEND meyour Robinson Crusoe,'"
said his little brother Charley, who
stood near, smiling at Fred's antics.
"No, sir I. l will not lend it to you"
ooh do, Fred. I willtaE the great
est care of it. 1 won't hurt it the least
bit"
"No, 7 tell YOU"
"Why not?"
because You can't read, and your
hands are always dirty, and-and-you
shan't have it, there !" AID Fred began
to shut the doors of the bookcase.
"Just let me look at the pictures"
begged the little fellow.
"No, get your own Nonsense Book
and look at the pictures in that"
"Why, brother" said Charley, with
trembling lips, chow cross you are
20 me-"
"Well, it's because you are such a
plague and a bother? You are nothing
bnt a troublesome little boy, and / am
almost a man."
Then Fred sat down before his book
case, and began to whistle, and teeter
backward and forward in his chair.
Presently he took n card from his
pocket with a funny picture on it,
and began to read this ridiculous stuff 4:
Benny Bowbell bothered and ban
tered q little pumpkin Or BOBBY. This
little pumpkin and BOBBY bore his
bothering and bantering without bob
bling or blinking. But, by and by, the
little pumpkin OF BOBBY began to be
belligerently bouncible."
Am L a little pumpkin and boo
by? 2" asked Charley, with quivering
lips.
"Yes, ysu are," said Fred.
len. you lay big hoop this morn-
ing, and l did not call you a pumpkin
and BOBBY"
"Oh, you are going to stick that in
my face, are you"
"No, Fred, 1 didn't mean that /;
"Well, Ill never borrow anything of
you again, and don't you ever ask me
for anything, because l won't lend it to
you. Do get away, l can't bear the
sight Of you'll"
At this cruel speech poor little Char
ley burst into tears. Then Fred
mock, him, saying, ~"boo-hoo, boo
hoo" STOPPING over and dancing round
him with his hands on his knees /; then
ne pulled out his handkerchief and
wiped his eyes, and pretended to wiring
The tears out of his handkerchief-at
which last insult Charley fairly howled,
and his mother, who was entertaining
co mpany in the parlor, thinking that

The matter, excused herself, and rushed
up stairs into the room.
The moment she appeared Charley
stopped crying, for the generous little
fellow did not wish to have his
brother reproved; but Fred was too
full of egotiStical seIfshness to notice
any one but himself, or to stop talking.
He did not see his msther, but kept on
dancing before Charley, saying "Cry,
