Hereditary Drunkenness.

Not more pitiful are the approaches
of madness than are the well understood
symptoms which signify to the heredi-
tary drunkard the hour of his inherited
passions. Iknew in Texas a young man
who was heir to such woful heritage
He was, physically, one of the hand
soonest of men, and possessed of great
and varied talents, which he had care
fully cultivated. Moreover, he had
served his country with distinguished
bravery, and was then holding high
position of trust and honor. But with
a regularity that was terrible, there
came to hin1-no matter where he was,
over his ledger, in the church, by the
side of the victim he loved-a craving
for brandy that possessed him like a
demon. and drove him forth among his
fellows. With set lips and despairing
face he would deliver to friend the
KEYS of his office and betake himself to
his room-not as men go to carousal,
but as they go to fearful reckoning
and for two or three days drink in sui
len silence till the craving was appeased.
Some one was one day praising, in his
presence, his vast stores of acquired in
formation and his delicate fancy as an
artist. "Yet I shall die like BRUTE"
he said sadly, and the despairing look
of a hunted animal came into his eyes
as he added "My father-died drunk
my mother-God forgive her my
grandfather shot himself in delirium
tremens-you know, boys, how poor
Patrick died-it will be the same with
me-" His prophecy was too soon full
lled.-Science of Health.

A Coal Mine Ablaze-" Looks Like a
He'll"

A writer who has explored the burn
ing Empire coal mine, near Wilkesbarre,
must have seen novel and magnificent
sight. These mines, when once on fire,
sometimes burn for years but it is sell
dom that any one can go near the
flames, and even when it is possible but
few would care to attempt it. The
descent at the Empire mine was three
hundred feet, aud then along a side
gallery.
Every stride onward appears to inten-
sify the warmth, and human apparel
seems more than human nature is able
to bear. The perspiration begins to
start from the pores, and a current of
air constantly pouring in from outside
appears to be caught and subdued by
that dreadful heat which almost chokes
and stiles you. There is no let up to
it, no relief. Suddenly therefalls upon
the air peculiar noise, like the NUT
tering of internal spirits, away down
in the deepest depths of the universe.
Still on, and these mutterings increase
to mighty roar, until by and by one
can detect certain sounds above all
others. There is sound as it made by
falling waters, which gains and increases
on the ear as to the traveller does the
rushing of a cataract. The old guide
continues slowly on the way clouds of
smoke envelop our heads, until the cav
ern, taking peculiar curve, brings us
under a mighty arch, the floor and sides
of which seem to be mass of kissing,
cracking flames. It may be a wicked
expression, but looks like hell. The
fire extends over an immense area of
200 yards, dread, awful and appalling,
but indescribably beautiful neverthe-
less. It looks like an immense sea of
glittering gold, across the heaving
breast of which pass and repass the
softest and richest combinations of
colers. Blue, green, purple, crimson,
mingling and intermingling, passing
and re-passing, disappearing here and
suddenly flashing up again there, tor
ture the senses, confuse the vision and
leave one doubtful of the place whereon
he stands. It Kisses, it roars, it flashes
up and smokes. driving back the men
and befouling the air. There are per
sons down there, human beings like |
ourselves, who have spent many months |
of their past life in fighting this fire,
and who will spend many months of |
their lives yet TO come. They are ter |
rible locking creatures when thus en-
gagged in their work, whose besmeared |
faces and rough, blackened forms give |
them the appearance of devils rather |
than of men. They spend but few
hours there, for so intense is the heat |
that new men must come very frequent |
ly to their relief. AS it is, scarcely a |
day passes during which some poor fell |
low does not yield to these underground |
and is carried out insensible |
It must be an awful life to lead, and |
awful, indeed, the circumstances which
compel so many to endure it.

What Zacchens Did.

A story is told Of a certain newspaper
proprietor who relieved his dishonesty
by a spice Of humor.
The agent of a large manufacturing
house went TO him TO protest against
frequent assaults in the editorial col
umns.
"What the devil is the matter ?"
asked the latter. "All you say is an
internal lie. But then we feel we can't
afford TO have this thing go on. What
shall we do TO stop il ?"
The proprietor appeared distracted
for few moments, and then remarked
at was thinking about a chapter in the
Bible. Let me see His name Was
was Zaccheus. What did he doR Oh,
YES he climbed tree 20 see the Lord;
and he didn't see him either. What
did he do then? Do you remember,
Mr.. Agent, what he did then ?"
"He came down, / suppose"
"Ah, yes thank you-that's itl
He came down, sensible fellow; no
came down !"
The parable was fitting. The agent
initiated the example Of Zaccheus and
the journalistic batteries were instan-
taneously spiked,

something that looks almost like awe.
I remember the different face which /

pray that it may be Gods will die be-
fore the waking comes.
Ny hands are very weak and thin
and wasted, and when he takes one into
his, and kneels beside my couch, I can
see the pity and the fear which darkens
Elsie's eyes. My voice is low and fail
ing, but at last they understand my
question, reading it more from my eyes
than from my lips; and Elsie answers
it IN q whisper, her warm lips touching
my cheek and forehead between the
words: "No dream, my darling no
dream. We have you with us, and we
are nursing you back to health again.
If care and Iove-the truest, fondest
love, my dear-can give yon strength,
then you will soon be your own self
again"

should fall just so-softly and slowly to
the ground.

her sweet face comes between those
reddening leaves and my wide, upturned
eyes, "do you remember that day we
were together in the sea, when the wind
rose so suddenly? want to tell you,
o, my dear, what the memory of that
day has been to me-"
am awaking now-awaking with an
icy shiver. In one moment my dream
will be over-my beautiful summer
dream.
"Tell me slowly-slowly," plead,
my broken words most eager in their
utter weakness. "No-let Horace tell;
then shall be-awake. Tell me all,
Horace"
"It's too much to tell to-day" he
whispers, wrapping shawl about me
tenderly, for he does not know 1 am
awakening; chow can I tell in few
simple words that brave, unselfish act
of yours How can I speak calmly,
even yet, of how you saved my darling
at the risk of your own life ; how, when
she tainted and fell, you rescued her,
and held her safe above the water until
help came then how you put her in
safety and-your strength all worn
sank down yourself, exhausted and un-
conscious of how the fercest wave of
all came then, and we've were barely
in time to save you How can l tell
this, and of our gratitude and love?"
"This is true, then? This is true,
and the-the other was the dream ?"
"All this is true, my darling and
we are true and the sunshine and the
flowers, they are all true. Everything
is true, except those terrible delirious
fancies which have been with you in
your fever. That was the dream but
it has passed now, and all the fancies
have passed too. All, there is little
look of returning health at last. You
are coming back to US from the gates of
death-O, my dear, my dear, we shall
be happy once again !''-Nea0 York

Why There Are So Many Bald
Headed Men.

Why so many bald-headed men, and
so few bald women? Why is il that
they shine like billiard balls2 Why
this spectacle of bald-headed BARRIERS
rubbing the dry tips of bald-headed
men, recommending invigorators war
ranted to produce bushy locks in less
than a fortnight, while bald-headed
spectators and middle-aged men with
wigs look on with derisive smiles /;
though all the while their wives and
daughters throng our streets covered
with crowns Of beauty, and charming
actresses toss their blonde tresses in
luxurious profusion on the stages OF
our theaters? Our male population
will no doubt take serene satisfaction
in saving that IL is because men have
more TO worry them than woman, and
have the trouble of contriving how 10
support their wives and daughters.
Probably, however, that is not the rea-
son. Women, of course, have finer and
longer hair than men, but men destroy
their heads under their hats, and thus
heat the tops OF their craniums until
the hair dies out for want Of air. Men
should either take off their hats oftener
or ventilate them better.

ZEN THO USAND A YEAR.

If had ten thousand a year
think could manage to spend 1t,
Could squander the half, very near,
And as for the rest-I could lend it.
Could squander the half, should say,
On folly, on vice, and on sorrow,
On dreary debaucbes to-day,
Repentance and headache tomorrow.
Could purchase with half Of the wealth,
Or less, If cared to diminish,
Bad morals, bad conscience, bad health,
And bad-ish lookout at the finish,
And the rest of my gold could lend
The friend who in WALL had stood by me,
And lose both my money and friend,
For thenceforward forever he'd shy me.
If had ten thousand saT,
The sentiment may seen. clap-trappy,
I'm blest if think it's so Gear,
should not be sick and Unhappy.
At present I've friends-yery dear
Health and comfort as long as I'm thrifty,

I'm content with my hundred and fifty.

M. Robing, in a paper presented to
the French academy, thus extols the
virtues of buttermilk: "Life exists
only in combustion, but the combustion
which occurs in our bodies, like that
which takes place in our chimneys,
leaves a detritus which is fatal to life.
To remove this we would administer
Tactic acid with ordinary food. This
acid is known to possess the power of
removing or destroying inerustations
which form on the arteries, cartilages
and valves of the heart. As buttermilk
abounds in this acid, and is, moreover,
an agreeable kind of food, its habitual
use, it is urged, will free the system
from these causes, which inevitably
cause death between the seventy-tifth
and hundredth year.

The queerest object IN nature IS a
Spanish beggar-for these 6eggars beg
on horseback, and 1t is an odd thing to
see a man riding up to poor foot pas
senger and asking aims. A gentleman
in Valparaiso, being accosted by one of
these mounted beggars, replied, "Why,
sir, you come to beg of me, who have to
go on foot, while you ride on horse
back - every true, sir" said the beg
gar, and have the more need to beg,
as have to support my horse as well as
myself"
