The supposition that man cannot be a
Christian until the thermometer of emotion
in his bosom rises TO fever heat is pure
invention, having no foundation in reason
or scripture. 1t is every mans business to
act upon his highest sense of duty. The
notion that an intellectual sense of duty
must be fused before it can be a ground Of
action is without support in the analogy oI
life. We do habitually act upon our con-
yictions, however cold and entirely oil
the Judgment they may be. To sit wait
ing for feeling before putting forth any
effort to be better, is like waiting until the
pangs of hunger are upon you before put
ting seed into the ground.

Sudden Warming.

A very dangerous, yet very COM
mon winter practice, is that Of sudden
warming when very cold. We frequently
read in the papers Of little children falling
down dead on suddenly going to the heated
stove after long walk. Others are often
injured seriously who have no guess at the
true cause of the difficulty. Every intelli-
gent person knows that frozen limb will
become dead flesh if suddenly warmed.
The temperature must be raised very slowly.
The limb must be put into cold in
stead Of warm water, or rubbed with snow.
When limbs are half frozen, they cannot
resist the injurious effect Of sudden warm
ing. Commissions in children occasionally
occur many more are made suddenly faint
and sick without knowing the cause the
eyesight is often peculiarly affected, and
people call it snow blindness" All skin
difficulties are greatly aggravated by sud
den warming, and sometimes very painful
ones are induced. 1t is generally thought
that chilblains are caused by the severe
cold, but the true cause is sudden warming
after they have been very cold. II seems
as if this distressing malady were largely
on the increase-even very little children
suffer from it. Too great care cannot be
taken in this matter Of warming cold feet
slowly, and by friction rather than putting
them near the fire.
Sudden warming, too, makes the whole
system so subject to cold for long time
afterwards that extra garments are always
needed and then the frame shivers in what
was once very comfortable temperature.
Physicians have observed this in their own
cases, and say that they have sometimes
suffered 10 this way for years from single
such act of imprudence.
Use proper precaution on your own part,
and watch carefully over your children,
who Of course follow their natural impulse
to rush to the fire when very cold.

WIN. b. Astor has walked Broadway
for three.score years without indicating any
sympathy with mankind. If you wish to
make trial, call at the office in Prince
street. 1t is we'll understood that charity
is not tolerated there. Mr. Astor's prop
erty enabled him fifteen years ago to pay
tax of $4,000, and at present he pays
about sos 900, which is a small sum in
proportion to is immense estate. When he
was boy his fathers property was worth
about S1,000,000. The old gentleman
died in ls4s, leaving 100000, and the
estate has much moro than doubled since
that time. Six hundred houses acknowl-
edge Astor as landlord but with all this
wealth, why, just try him for charity
Thirty thousand women have been driven
by poverty into prostitution during the time
that Astor's property has thus grown into
a colossal pile, and now, while poverty
grinds the masses more bitterly than ever,
the golden mountain increases still moro
rapidly under its owners careful manage
meut. What contrast to behold 100000,
900 in the hands Of an old man just on the
verge of the grave, while the direst poverty,
reaching even to starvation, is the lot Of

The Cutie Fish.

In the Indian seas, we'll authenticated
instances have occurred Of divers being
entangled in the serpent-like arms Of
the cutie fish, and destroyed by their
strong parrot-like beak. There is moth
ing absolutely incredible in the state
ment that a cutie, lately taken in Boz
navista harbor, measured thirty feet be-
tween the extremities Of its extended
tenacles I; though, OF course, the meas
urement may have been inaccurate.
These tenacles are Of great length, eight
in number, and every one Of them car
ries 100 pair of sucking disks. Fancy
this thirty-feet monster clasping n thu
man i'm its cold, Shiny embrace Tho
moment the tentacles touched the flesh
Cf the victim, with the speed of light
ming the feshy piston is Withdrawn,
vacuum is created, and the edges Of tho
disk are pressed against the surface
with force all the struggles Of the un-
fortunate prisoner could not overcome.
These sucking disks act on the princi-
pie of a cupping-Plass, each having
fieshy or cartilaginOus ring across which
a disk of muscular membrane is stretch
ed. with a circular aperture in the ceR-
tire. A cone-shaped mass Of flesh fills
this aperture like piston, and when
drawn back, at the will Of the animal,
adhesion is so firm that IL is easier 20
tear away the substance OF the limb
than release il from its attachment. lt
makes one shudder 10 think Of the eight
huge arms of this Bonavista monster
enfolding some unhappy mortal, and
then as he vainly writhed in its clammy
grasp, the horny bill, strong as the beak
of an eagle, would rend the flesh, its
large cruel eyes Rlaring at him and par
alyzing him with terror. IL is very
we'll that they have managed 10 dispatch
this fellow in Bonavista. There is one
horrible monster less in creation.

American Wonders,

The greatest cataract in the world is
the falls of Niagara, where the water
from the great upper lakes forms river
three-fOurths of a mile in width, and
then being suddenly contracted plunges
over the rocks in two columns to the
depth of one hundred and seventy feet
each.
The greatest cave in the world is the
Mammoth cave in Kentucky, where one
can make a voyage in the waters of
subterranean river, and catch fish with
out eyes.
The greatest river il the world is the
Mississippi, four Thousand one hundred
miles long.
The largest valley in the world is the
valley of the Mississippi. It contains
five hundred thousand square miles and
is one of the most fertile regions of the
globe.
The largest lake in the world is Lake
Superior, which is truly an inland sea,
being four hundred and thirty miles
long and very deep.
The longest railroad in the world is
the Pacific railroad, over three thousand
miles in length.
The greatest natural bridge in the
world is the Natural bridge over Cedar
creek in Virginia. 1t extends across a
chasm eighty feet in width and two
hundred and fifty feet in depth, at the
bottom of which the creek flows.
The greatest mass of solid iron in the
world is the great Red mountains, near
Alabama. 1t is three
hundred and fifty feet high and fifty
miles in length, of almost solid iron
ore, the largest and richest deposit
known in the world.
The largest deposit of anthracite coal
in the world is in Pennsylvania, the
mines of which supply the market with
millions of tons annually.

Mr.. Campbell's Son.

When Campbell's chimney became
foul the other day, somebody advised
him to fire his gun up the fue for the
purpose of loosening the SCOT. Camp
bell did SO, but, unfortunately, he Sc
lected for the operation the very
moment when his oldest boy happened
to be sitting up there on the top of the
chimney, flying his kite. The boy
knew Immediately that somebody had
fred a gun, and he did not wait TO pull
in his kite or to make extended in
quiries as to the identity of the person
who performed the act. He seemed to
be animated by an irresistible propensity
to leave the spot at once. SO he sud
denly slid down the roof to the shed,
and thence to the ground. When he
was put to bed he appeared to want to
lie more over on his face than on his
back, and the doctor, when he had re-
moved thIee-quarters of pound of
shot from the little sufferers flesh, re-
marked to Mr.. Campbell that if the
child preferred to stand up for a few
weeks, while eating his meals and
studying his lessons, it would be inju-
dicious to offer any objection.

A Trustful Family Circle.

We hear good story of man who
went to the frontier to see friend. The
family consisted of the husband and
his two grown SONS. The good old lady
was the only one of the family who did
not take some of the ooh be joyful. ="
Sitting by the fire a few minutes, the
old man tipped him wink, and the Wis
itor followed him out. Stopping by a
tree, he took out long-necked bottle,
remarking:
81 have to keep it hid, for the boys
may get to drinking, and the old
woman would raise the deuce" Soon
Tom, the elder son, asked the visitor
ont to see the colt, and taking him
behind the barn, pulled out flask,
remarking:
81 have to keep this hid, for the old
man will get drunk, and the deuce is to
pay" and they both took drink and
returned.
Soon Bob stepped on the visitors toe
and walked off, the visitor following.
AS they reached the pig pen, Bob drew
out a good-sized bottle, remarking
"You know the old man and Tom
will get drunk, and have to hide this. y
The visitor concluded he could not
drink confdentially with the whole fam
lily, and started foi home.

Tell the Truth.

Absolute and perfect truth is one OF
the first essentials in the good charac-
ter of a child. The days when "men
are born speaking lies" have not en-
tirely passed, although parents have too
often only themselves to blame for lying
children. Extreme or iniudicious pun
ishment will often lead children into
habits of deceit and lying. When this
becomes the case, punishme Mt is an evil
only. Rewards for good conduct will
often induce children to lie, that is, to
deny having whispered, for the praise
of being perfect in department, A
genuine bedlam in school had better
exist than the highest order, if it re-
suits in such moral obliquity. 1t is in
deed often sailing between Scylla and
Charybdis to teach children the narrow
path between lying and polite preyari-
cation. A friend of ours, who was emf
nent for teaching perfect truth to her
child, said to the girl, one day, "You
go 10 Mrs. BIS so often that you must
not always stay to dinner. "Bnt
Mrs. B. always invites me" eyes, but
that is form of politeness, and she may
not always wish you to stay" That
day, the child being invited, hung her
head and said, "No, mamma says you
don't want L e even if you do invite
me-" $50 you think I lie," said the
adv, and the mother lost her friend by
the incident,

The Human Voice.

That we are curiously constructed adj
mits of no argument, since the mechan-
ism of the organ by which the voice is
produced surpasses the most ingenious
1y devised musical instrument ever
made by man. The range of a human
voice is another marvel, there being
about nine perfect tones, yet there are
II, 1872, 1856, ,044, ,515 distinct sounds, all
of which are produced by the varying
contractions or relaxations of fourteen
little muscles acting directly oD the col
umn of air passing directly through the
larynx or musical box. There may be
a few more muscles brought into action
bv training. but if anyone is ambitious
for further information on the capacity
of our vocal organs, physiological
works furnish illustrations. A mans
voice ranges from base to tenor, the me-
dunn being a baritone. A woman's
voice ranges from contralto to soprano,
the medium being a mezzo-soprano. A
boys lies between tenor and treble.
The language of science in reference to
these extraordinary exhibitions of vocal
power was anticipated by the poet. lis
It not strange that a harp of a thous-
and strings should be kept in tune so
long?
