Alas, Poor Schiller!

Twenty years after Schiller's death a
certain burgomaster, Schwabe, took
INTO his head to get Schiller's head as
a precious relic. He had the vault
opened, where the remains had been
laid with those of ten other mortals,
but to his dismay the cofins had all
decayed away, and there was nothing
but a confused mass of bones at the
bottom of the vault. He took home
the eleven skulls, numbered them,
ranged them in a row, and invited every
one in Weimar who had been personally
acquainted with Schiller to come and
see them. The visitors were taken one
by one into the room, and invited to
write down their opinions as to which
was Schiller's skull, without the oppor-
tunity of consultation. All agreed upon
the same number, and then Professor
Schroter, of jena, after much difficulty,
sorted out the bones of the skeleton
from the heap, and the whole was placed
in the library at Weimar. 1t is evident
that the ideas of the present day in
regard to the sanctity of the grave were
not then prevalent. Goethe wrote some
beautiful lines to the skull, and every
thing was pretty and pleasant.

Superstition.

The Duke de Montpensier has Just
lost a son OF fourteen. There is an odd
superstition in the family of Orleans that
no child of that house borne between
eight o'clock and midnight will live to
be twenty years of age. Louis Philippe
was so much impressed with the family
tradition that after the birth of each Of
his numerous progeny, none of whom
happened to arrive in the dreaded
hours, he used to walk about rubbing
his hands joyfully, and exclaiming,
"After all, we are safe on the score of
time" The young scion just deceased
was born at nine o'clock in the evening,
to the great distress of his parents,

WHY'S NEW SLED.-Willy lives at
the top of hill. His father works in
shop at the foot oft. Last winter he
bought Willy new sled 1t is painted
red and its name is 'Snow-bird.
Every noon, when the weather is
pie asant and the sliding good, Willy
puts on his overcoat, jumps upon his
sled, gives a push, and away he goes
down the hill to call his father to din
ner.
'Come, papa, dinners ready" says
Willy. Papa comes out of the shop
Willy hops upon his sled again, hands
papa the cord, and is drawn up the hill,
papa acting as the horse, and Willy as
the driver.
sect up, pony, get up" shouts the
driver.
One day an ox-team was coming up
the hill just as Willy was going down.
Willy could not stop snow-bird neither
could he steer it out of the road. What
should he do?
The man who was driving the oxen
was a kind, good farmer, and had a
little boy at home who called him
papa" When he saw Willy coming
down the hill so fast, he walked ahead
of his team, and caught the sled Just in
time to save Willy from being run over.
From window of his shop, WHY'S
father had seen his little boys danger.
He came running up the hill, all out of
breath, and was very, very glad to find
that Willy was unhurt.
After thanking the kind farmer, he
took seat beside him on the ox-team /;
and the two men talked about their
little boys as they rode along while
Willy, seated on his own little sled,
which he had tied to the big ox-sled,
followed close behind.
And so the strong oxen drew them all
to the top Of the hill.-THc Nursery.

Poetry
Heads, Hearts and Hands.
By GEORGE W. BUSsAy.

Heads that think, and hearts that feel,
Hands that turn the busy wheel,
Make our life worth living here,
in this mundane hemisphere;
Heads to plan what hands can do,
Hearts to bear Us bravely through,
Thinking head and toiling hand
Are masters Of the land.
When q thought becomes q thing.
Busy hands make hammers ring,
Until honest work has wrought
Into shape the thinkers thought,
Which will aid to civiliIe.
And make nations great and wise,
Lifting to a glory height
In this age Of thought and light.
Miracles Of science show
With their light the way to goi
Touch tube Of gas, and light
Blossoms Ike the stars Of night;
Touch another tube, and 10,
Streams Of crystal waters How;
Touch a telegraphic wire,
And your thoaght has wings Of fire
Hail to honest hearts and hands,
And to the head that understands;
Hands that dare to truth subscribe,
Hands that never touched tribe;
Hearts that hate a deed unjust.
Hearts that other hearts can trust,
Heads that plan for others veal,
Heads poised over hearts that feel.

An INSTRUCTIVE New ToY.-The Jour
nat Of the Franklin Institute, has an
article describing a new philosophical
toy, called the OpeidoscOpe, which is
thus described Take a tube of any
material, from one to two inches in
diameter, and anywhere from two inches
to foot or more in length. Over one
end paste piece of tissue paper or a
thin piece OF rubber, or gold-beaters'
skin. In the center of the membrane,
with a drop of mucilage, fasten bit of
looking glass, not more than an eighth
of an inch square, with the rejecting
side outward.
"When dry take it to the sunshine
and with the open end of the tube at
the mouth, hold the other end so that
the beam of reflected light will fall upon
the white wall or a sheet of paper held
in the hand. Now speak, or sing, or
toot in it. The regular movement of
the beam of light with the persistence
of vision presents very beautiful and
regular patterns, that differ for each
different pitch and intensity, but are
quite uniform for given conditions.
''If a tune like Aud Lang Syne is
footed slowly in it, care being taken to
give the sounds the same intensity, a
series of curves will appear, one for each
sound and alike for a given sound,
whether reached by ascension or de-
scension, SO that it would be possible to
indicate the tune by the curves in
other words, it is a true phonauto-
graph"
The toy is simple enough, but from
such simple contrivances important
philosophical discoveries have often
times had their origin.

WIZ ARE MALE BIRDS MOST BEAUTI-
FUL ?-Have you ever wondered why
the male of so many species of birds is
so much more highly colored than the
female? A good many persons have
wondered, and formed theories about
it. The one that seems to be most
likely right is this They say, where
the male bird is gay and snowy, he does
not take his turn in sitting on the eggs
to hatch them but where both of the
parent birds are much alike, and both
of sober tint, each takes share in the
work of incubation. 4 bird of dull
color is not easily noticed among the
branches and leaves, or the ground, if
it nests there. You see, if a boy ,rhO
can hit a marx lCith stone so neatly,
should happen, all of sudden, to spy
a bright-red mother bird on a nest, he
would not stop to think before he would
send a pebble speeding after it, and,
when it was too late to think, The beau
GfUL creature might be killed and
how sorry he would feel when he heard
the other bird mourning for his dead
mate, and thought of the pretty eggs,
and TIE little birds that might have been
but for his temptation, and now can
never be. We shall find, as we go on
to study nature, how God takes care for
the preservation OF his creatures. Does
not this care in coloring the sparrow, to
insure her safety, look some like the
answer, before it is said, to the prayer,
LEAD us not into temptation, but de-
liver us from evil ?" And who knows
but this is for the good of the boys as
we'll as the birds %

Curing versus CobbIing.

There are many medicines that give tran
sient relief In sickness without touching the
source and seat of the mplaint. IIostetter's
Stomach Bitters is not one OF these. The great
tonic and restorative does not cobble the dis.
eased and cnieebled system. II is not mere
palliative, that only temporarily controls
II few unpleasant symptoms. No, its invigo-
rating, regulating, restorative principle pen
etrates the very source of the difficulty in the
fluids and solids OF the body, and hence its
cures are radical and thorough, In dyspep-
sia it strengthens the stomach, In liver COM
plant II regulates the flow OF bile, In consti-
patton IT promotes u punctual habit of b dy,
in nervous ailments it tones the sentients
and motive fibres, in rheumatism 1t counter
acts pain and in eases of general debility re-

escaped after his sentence had been
pronounced, entertained some pros
Feet of returning at some future
day to New York. The Tammanv-
ties have an itching desire to make
that place their home, and hence
they tiutter around it like moth

were dashed to the ground the
other day when the judges refused
to consider the question of new
