An Answer 10 Prayer.

"The Gilded Age" the new nondes-
cript book by Mark Twain and Char
les Dudley Warner, contains the fol-
lowing picture:
"Uncle Dan'r (colored), aged 40;
his wife. Aunt jimmy" aged 3Oi
"young Miss" Emily Hawkins, young
Mars." Washington Hawkins, and
young Mars" Clay, the new member
OF the family, ranged themselves on q
log after supper, and contemplated the
marvellous river, and discussed it. The
moon rose and sailed aloft through a
maze Of shredded cloud wreaths, the
sombrs river just preceptibly brighten
ed under the veil Of light. A deep 81.
lence pervaded the air, and was en-
phasized at intervals, rather than brok-
en-, by the hootipg OF sn owl, the bay
ing OF dog, or the mufied crash Of q
cavipg bank in the distance. The COM
psny assembled on the log were all
children Cat least in simplicity and
broad aud comprehensive isuor-
ance), and the remarks they made
sbou. the river were in keeping
with their character and go awed were
they by the grandeur aud solemnity OF
the scene before them, and by their be-
lief that the air was filed with invisi-
bic spirits, and that the faint zephyrs
were caused by the passing wind,
that all their talk took to itself tint
OF the supernatural, and their voices
were subdued to a low and reverent
tone. Suddenly Uncle Dan'l exclaim-
ed
"Chil'en, dah's sumfn a comm :"
All crowded close together aud every
heart beat faster. Uncle Dan'l pointed
down the river with his bony fuger.
A deep coughing sound troubled the
stiffness, way toward a wooded cape
that jutted into the stream q mile dis
taut All in an instant ferce eye OF
fire shot out from behind the cape and
cent a long brilliant pathway
athvart the dusky water.
The coughing grew louder and
louder, the glaring eye grew larger and
larger snd still larger, .glared wilder
and wilder. A huge shape developed
itself ont Of the gloom, and from its
tall duplicate horns dense volumes OF
smoke, starred and spangled with
sparks, poured out and went tumblin z
away in the farther darkness. Nearer
the thing came, till ib long sides began
to glow with spots OF light which
mirrored themselves in the river and
attended the monster Ike torcblight
procession.

With deep solemnity the answer
came:

1t was not necessary to say il twice.
They were al kueeling in moment
And then, wkile the mysterious cough
irg grew stronger and stronger aud The
threatening glare reached farther aud
wider, the pegro's voice lifted up il
supplications;

MYSTERY OF THE LAKEs.-Lake Erie
is only 80 OF 20 feet deep; but Lake
Ontario, which is 592 feet deep, is $50
feet below the tide level of the ocean,
or as low as most parts of the Gulf of
st. LaWrencei and the bottoms of Lakes
Huron, Michigan and Superior, although
the surface is not much higher, are ali,
from their vast depths, on level with
the bottom of Ontario. Now, as the dis
charge through..the River Detroit, after
allowing for the probableportion carried
Off by evaporation, does not appear by
any means equal to the quantity of water
which the three upper lakes receive, it
has been eonjectured that suhterra-
mean river may run from Lake Superior,
by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is not improbable, and ac-
counts for the singular fact that salmon
and herring are caught in all the lakes
communicating with the st. Lawrence.
but no others, AS the falls of Niagara
must have always existed, it would Duz-
gle the naturalist to say how these fish
got into the upper lakes without some
river moreover, any peri
Odical obstruction of the river would
furnish not improbable solution of the
mysterious t1ux and refux of the lakes.

A Pet Ofa Wife.

"Small size this is the echo of most
mems wishes. They want some one to
pet, to fOndle, to protect, they say and
this is truth when they feel good ma
tured. Cynical women say they want
some one they can tyrannize over. but
we are not inclined to take a cynical
view of the subject.
Very few men Willfully tyrannize
over their wives and children, but the
tyranny IS there, nevertheless, and in
tellectual men, such as the world ad-
mlre, are most prone to exercise it.
They are so wrapped in their own plans,
theories and speculatiOns they do not
discover the fact that their own house

love, and fainting for the gushing
springs of sympathy. They are so ac-
customed to adulatlon abroad that the

In our zeal to vindicate the "lords of
creation" from the charge of wilful
tyranny we are leaving our two bache-
lors and their imaginary wives too long
neglected.
0udIl SIZE is u MAN fancy, not the

most universal fancy. The larger, the

in the selection made by most large

feminine attraction. Our solution of
the problem lies in the supposition that

CURE FOR DIPTHER1A.-The ravares
OF diptheria in Australia have been 50
extensive within the last few years that
the government offered a large reward
for any certain method of cure; and
among other responses to this was one
by MI. Greathead, who at first kept his
method secret, but afterward commu-
nI,lcatedit freely to the public. Itissimply
the use OF snlphuric acid, of which four
drops are diluted in three -fourths of a
tumbler OF water to be administered to
grown person and smaller dose to
chll9rcn, at intervals not specified. The
EeslllC Is sald to be cOagulation of the
diptheritic membrane, and it's ready rn-
moval by coughing. 1t is asserted that
where the case thus treated has not
advanced to nearly fatal termination
the patient recovered in almost every
instance.
