4 POPULAR HISTORY OF THE UNITED
Srl TES

b'-
The reading public of this country
will receive with great satisfaction the
announcement that the venerable Will
IAN Cullen Bryant, of New York,
assisted by Mr.. Sydney Howard Gay, a
veteran journalist and scholar, have now
in preparation a popular history of the
United States. In no branch of litera-
ture is there such a want as this book is
intended to supply. We have no pop
ular history of America, and we can
imagine no prouder climax to the liter
airy fame of Mr.. Bryant than this invalu-
able and long-needed history. The
work will include the early history of
the continent, down to the union and
independence of the Colonies. 1t will
then give the history of the first century
of the United Republic. The work is
intended for popular use and informa-
ton, and will be written with that abili-
ty and fairness for which MI. Bryant
and Mr.. Gay are alike distinguished.
We have had numerous American his
tories, but never a complete nor a pop
ular one. Our history has been written
in sections, and without connection.
We have bad biography in ~profusion :;
have had able works covering particular
periods of time, and particular events.
but a general history of the United
States, coming down to contemporary
events, such as the ordinary citizen or
family desires, has never been produced.
Bryant's history will in all probability
be the standard history for the next
half century. Such a book is doubly
appropriate, coming, as it does, at the
close of the first century of the United
States, and at the restoration of the
Union in all its strength after the ter
rible ordeal of civil war. 1t will be
published by Scribner, Armstrong &
Co., New York.

stances the patient suffered little, and

stances the patient suffered little, and
was to all appearance in good health
while consuming with the disease which
seemed to cut him off in a moment.
The ignorance and credulity of the
times is curiously shown in the tests to
which it was proposed men should be
subjected, in order to prove whether
they were plague-stricken. Somc as
serted that if a diseased person were to
breathe on a glass, the glass being con
densed, living creatures would appear,
which seen through a microscope would
be found to resemble snakes, dragons,
monsters of hideous shape, and-devils.
As no microscopes were used for this
purpose, however, the truth of this as
sertion could never be ascertained.
One learned man gave it as his opinion
that the breath of a plague-infected
person would prove fatal TO bird, eve
one of the size of a cock or a hen. A
writer of that period observes that he
never saw the experiment made, but
considers it very probable that the
breath of such persons would have had
the effect ascribed to it.
1t is pleasant to be able to record
that Florence Nightingales existed tive
centuries ago. Brave ladies left their
homes at the West End to tend the suf-
ferers in the East, encountering far
greater peril by SO doing than that to
which the sisters" of the present day
have been exposedi in the very worst of
modern e%pidemics. In what manner
these good women of the past entered
the red cross houses is not recorded.
Did they bride the watchmen? Did
they nimbly climb in by back windows?
or perhaps become a noble kind of
housebreakers ? or did they obtain
special permission from the Lord
Mayor? No matter. Enough that
through the dark clouds which envel-
oped the city some CLEANS of Heavens
light fell on the wrctched inhabitants.
Toward the end of September the
pestilence began to abate, but when the
circumstances became known, strange
to say, the people became reckless, and
went about freely among the plague
stricken, so that the death-rate became
greater than it had previously
been. OF II hundred thousand who
sickened in three weeks thirty thousand
died, and when the vast difference be-
tween the population of London at that
time and in the present day is consid-
cred, it must be admitted that the
tally was trnly awful.

Crush tine earliest temptation,

It Was So Sad.

Yes, it was a ~sOrroWful sight. to see that manly
form. at midday, PROSTATE, stretched out on his
back, on a long wooden doorstep, not far from Ii
censed liquor saloons. There he lay alone. Blood
was dry on his lips, and in his nostrils. The breath
ing was heavy, eyes closed. feet dangling. hands
helpless, face flushed and soiled with dirt. The dark
blue garb, reported him a sailog, Ms311Sked az
the manly features, once bright and expressive, but
now SO powerless and loathsome. Our heart was
agonized for him and for his mother. For that
mother who gave him birth, at the peril Of her own
life. She had ceaselessly cared for his infancy, had
foHdled and caressed the once beautiful expanding
form, but it was now loathsome. The mental ques-
ton was, where is che now? Away perhaps waiting,
longing for the return Of her boy. Maybe he is her
only son. her only earthly hope. A sailor. One of
class Of men who do much for commerce., much for the
world. Why was he lying there? To a passing native.
I said See this poor man, Who has done this ?
Who has made him 20 helpless, and then left him ?
With q grim laugh, the reply was,-Plenty Of white
men give drink. We said, call ZONE Of them to care
for him. They passed on saying.-Plenty white
men all around Honolulu give drink. 90, it was
