PREsUMpTION-Hew who takes his boys
to the beer-shop, and trusts that they will
grow up sober, puts his coffee-pot on the
fire and expects it to look bright as new
tin. Men cannot be in their senses when
they brew with bad malt and look for good
beer, or set a wicked example and reckon
upon raising a respectable family. You
may hope and hope till your heart grows
sick but when you send your boy up the
chimney. he'll come down black for all
your hoping. Teach child to lie, and
then hepe that he will grow up honest /;
better put wasp in a tar-barrel and wait
till he makes honey. As to the next world,
it is a great pity that men do not take a
little more care when they talk of it. II
a man dies drunk, somebody or other is
sure to say, " / hope he is gone to heav-
en-" 1t is all very we'll to wish it, but to
hope it is another thing. Men turn their
faces to hell and hope to get to heaven !:
why don't they walk in the horse pond
and hope to be dry? Hopes of heaven are
solemn things, and should be tried by the
word of God. A man might as well hope,
as our Lord says, to gather grapes OF
therns or figs of thistles, as look for a
happy hereafter at the end of a bad life.
There is only one rock to build hopes on,
and that is not Peter, as the Pope says.
neither is it sacran,ents. but the merits Of
the Lord Jesus. There John Ploughman
rests. and he is not afraid, for this is a
firm footing. which neither life nor deatl
can shake: but must not turn preacher
so please remember that presumption is .

WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEsT.-Dr.
Beard states that from an analysis of the
lives of a thousand representative men in
all the great bl anches of human effort, he
had made the discovery that the golden de-
cade was between 80 and 40, the silver
between 40 and 80. the brazen between 90
and 80, the iron between so and 60. The
superiority of youth and middle life over
old age in original work appears all the
greater, when we consider the fact that
nearly all the positions of honor and profit
and prestige-professorships and public
stations-are in the hands of the old.
Reputation. like money and position, Is
mainly confined to the old. Men are not
widely known until long after they have
done the work that gives them their fame.
Portraits of great men are delusion
statues are lies. They are taken when
men have become famous, which, on
the average, is at least tw enty-five years
after they did the work which gave them
their fame Original work requires en-
thusiasm. If all the original work done by
men under 45 were annihilated, the world
would be reduced to barbarism. Men are
at their best at that time when enthusiasm
and experience are most evenly balanced f;
this period on the average is from 38 to 40.
After this the law is that experience
increases but enthusiasm declines. In the
life of almost every old man there comes a
point, sooner OF latter, when experience
ceases to have any educating power.

Tho Ohio lad;as who have resolved

The Ohio ladies who have resolved to
confine themselves to home manufacture,
in their new dresses, have done sensible
and patriotic thing. 1t might be initiated
with advantage in places nearer to the
seats of production of textile fabric. How
many men in this region are engaged IN
these kinds of manufacture? How many
of their wives and daughters ever wore an
American print? And yet, tried by the
law of taste, a printed calico is handsomer
article than an India shawl. The combi-
nation and arrangement of color. the figg-
ures the shades, show more science and
skill. The only thing against them is their
marvellous cheapness. Ifprints were two
dollars yard, no woman would rest quiet
till she had dress of them. 1t would be
easy to name "A hundred women. of social
position and fashionable leadership, who,
by resolving to dress, for a year. in Amer
lean fabrics, might give an impulse to in
dustry and production. that would be felt
all over the country. We would not do
so absurd a thing us to suggest to any lady
/ to wear an unbecoming dress, to make a
| fright of herself" OH any consideration
But domestic calicoes are elegant, tasteful,
becoming, everything that is to be desired,
except that they are not foreign and net
expensive. They admit of the most beau.
tifuI makes and of an indefinite variety o
trimming, and capabilities of adaptation
to different styles of figure and complexion
that more costly fabrics do not possess.
And the ladies who would wear them ant
make the most of them would look SC
charmingly that their very husbands would
fall in love with them; or. if the inappre
ciative wretches should fail to do, othel
women's husbands would; and then th'
large class of unfortunates who are no
body's husbands would quite adore them

AN NOLD-FASHIONED MOTHER AND A

AN OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER AND A RE-
FORMED BOY.-Some time ago. Mrs.
Buckelby. who lives over in Berrien cOun-
ty, Michigan. directed her son Samuel. a
lad of fourteen years, to take a turn at the
churn. Now, as Samuel had set his heart
on going a fishing at that very time, he

mother, his eyes fell upon plate of fly
poison and bright, smart thought struck
him. Just before Mrs. B. came in, Samuel
lifted the fatal platter to his face, and as
she entered he put the poison from

AVERY singular present has been made
to the aquarium of the Jardin d 'Acclimata-
ton ut Paris; it is me.lusa polyp. which,
on the day after its entry into the poo as
signed to it, had created void around it.
md skillfully got rid of all its neighbors.
How? This was mystery until the water
of the pool WAS analyze.l: the water was
found to be converted into solution of
vinegar. and it was apparent that it was
one of those very rare mollusks, the vine-
gar polyp. whose body. when plunged into
pure water. gives presently strongly
characterized :.cetic solution. The work
ing of this animal is very curious; it pro-
iuces alcohol. which is transformed into
vinegar. The poisonous mollnsk WAS, of
course. quickly withdrawn an'l placed in
clarified vinegar in a closed jar, where it
will pursue undisturbed the economical
manufacture of vinegar.

Gipsies and their Secret POisOns.

Among other secrets of the gypsy race
is the art of preparing what they term the
= drei," a most deadly and destructive
,gent, and for which medical science
knows no antidOte. Analysis detects no
noXiOus properties whatever, and the mos
careful examination. microscopal or other
wise, shows it simply to consist of appa-
rently harmless vegetable matter. The
= 'drei," then. is merely a brown powder
obtained from a certain species of fungu,
forming the nearest connecting link be-
tween the animal and vegetable kingdoms
he powder consisting of an infinity of spor-
lies. Those fungoid sporules possess the
peculiar property of being further develop
ed only by intimate contact with living
animal matter las when swallowed, etc. !;
they then throw out innumerable greenish
yellow fibres about twelve or eight inches
in length. When the "drei'' is admins
tered, usually in some warm drink. these
sporules are swallowed, attach themselves
to the mucous membrane. germinate.
throw out millions of those silky fbres,
which grow with awful rapidity, first pro-
ducing symptoms of hectic fever. then

SAINT splitting Of blood, till death finally in

fortnight or three weeks time. A case ol
this description occurred in Italy in 1860
Although the patient was attended by emf.
nent physicians accustomed to deal witt
cases of slow poisoning, no suspicion o.
foul play were entertained till the day aftel
the decease, when an autopsy being helt
revealed the cause of the death. The Fl

the cessation of animal life and heat tha
supported them, were partially decompos

If the analysis of the mixture in question

Sheep Washing.

Some years ago the good people of the
town of l., Mass, assembled for the
purpose of forming a temperance society.
After the usual preliminaries. the pledge
was submitted to the audience for sigma
lures. At that Deacon Smith arose and
addressed them thus My friends, | should
have no objections to signing your pledge
but for one thing. have been accustomed
to have my plum pudding at Christmas.
And you all know that plum pudding is
good for nothing without sauce, and sauce
is an insipid without a little good brandy
in it. Now, if you can fix your pledge so
that can have my brandy sauce and plum
pudding at Christmas, l will sign 1t with
great pleasure After little arguing pro
and con, clause was added allowing Dea-
con S. his brandy sauce at Christmas, but
at no other time; and Deacon S. signed
the pledge.
Soon after farmer Jones arose and said ::
My friends. have no objections to sign
ing your pledge if you allow me one thing.
| always want liquor in the harvest-field
to counteract the bad effects of SO much
cold water as is usually drank at that time.
If YOU can fix it so that can have my IL
auor in the harvest-field, ] will sign your
pledge
Again, after considerable arguing, there
was clause added allowing farmer Jones
his liquor in the harvest-tield, but at no
other time.
After farmer Jones had taken his seat,
his neigebor Bent arose.
NV friends said he. L will sign your
pledge if you will add one thing to it, that
! is, fix it so that | can have my liquor at
sheep-washing. l think it very necessary
for men to have some good strong liquor
to drink when coming out of the water
after washing sheep, to prevent the bad eff
fects that arise from standing in it sc
long.
After good deal of talk, a clause was
added allowing farmer Bent his liquor al
sheep-washing, but at no other time
When all had signed the pledge. the meet
ing was adjourned one week.
The next morning one of farmer B.'s
neighbors was passing his house, and the
old gentleman stepped out just then glori
ously drunk.
WHY, Uncle John, how's this?' sale

Ice BREAKING UP.-The warm weather
started the ice in the Hudson, and to such
IN extent that work ut fully One-half of the
ice-houses was suspended, Saturday,
throwing over 5000 men out of work. At
Troy the breakup began, early Sa urday
morning, the water rising ten feet in as
many minutes and carrying away u ting,
stone boat coal boat, floating derrick, and
pile-driver, all of which, except the tug
will probably be destroyed Seven men,
who were ut work on one of the piers of
the Congress street bridge, took refuge on
two b4rges, which were forced by the ice
and current down the river to point near
Albany, where the ice became iammed.
During the afternoon the men succeeded
in crossing on cakes of ice to the east
shore.
AT Alb my the ice as fur up as the nail
factory remains firm, notwithstanding the
pressure from above owing to the break
up ut row The water has risen until it
is level with the Quty street dock in some
places. Some of the ice bridges have
already been removed in anticipation o1

A DEMORALIZED ORATOR.-They had
a chicken show at Nunsey short time
ago. and when the birds were all arrang-
ed in their cages around the room. the
committee proceeded to open the exhibition
with imposing ceremonies. The chairman,
Mr.. Moody, had prepared long and very
learned speech, but Just as he began to
read it, q black Poland rooster close to the
stage uttered a loud and defiant crow
There We're about two hundred roosFers in
the hall, and every one of them instantly
began to crow in a most vOciferOus man
ner, and the noise excited the hens so
much that they cackled as loud as they
could. OF course the speakers voice could
not be heard, and he came to a dead halt
while the audience laughed. After wait
ing ten minutes silence was again obtain
ed, and Moody began 4 second time. AS
soon as he had uttered the words, - Ladies
and gentlemen" the Poland rooster, which
seemed to have grudge against Mr..
Moody, emitted another most preposterous
crow, and all the other fowls in the room
instantly joined in the deafening chorus.
The audience giggled and Moody grew
red in the face with passion. But when
the noise subsided he went at it again, and
got AS far as Ladies and gentlemen. the
domestic barnyard fowl affords subject
of highest interest to the"-when the Po-
land rooster became engaged in a contest
with an overgrown Shanghai chicken and
this set the hens of the combatants to cack-
ling, and in another moment the entire
collection was in an uproar. This was
too much Mr.. Moody was beside himself
with rage. He flung down his manuscripts
rushed to the cage, and shaking his fist at
the Poland chicken, exclaimed.
"You diabolical fiend, I've mind to
bust you open!''
Then he kicked the cage t. pieces with
his foot and seizing the rooster, twisted his
neck, and flung it upon the floor. Then he
fled from the hall. followed by the laugh.
ter from the audience, and more terrific
clatter from the fowls.
The exhibition was thon opened without
further ceremony, and Moody's dissertation
on the domestic barnyard fowl was lost te
the world. Moody has resigned from the
society. He says he takes less interest in
poultry than he used to do.-Mar Adeler.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in pub
lished report, regards the Vienna EXPOSE
ton as the largest and most ambitious at
tempt of the kind that has ever been made
In some respects the success was gratify-
ing 1t failed for want of thorough
knowledge and systematic arrangement of
details 1t was all head and no fingers
The American department WAS /" disgrace
ful, ludicrous, and mortifying." Mr..
Adams draws some wholesome and timely
suggestions for our approaching Centen-
ni3l. He apprehends that the difficulty at
Philadelphia will be the want of compe-
tent and responsible management. The
worst thing about the American depart
ment ut Vienna was that SO many of our
representatives were ignorant and worth
less. Moreover, to arrange for such IN
exhibition us it is proposed at Philadelphia
there must be ample time. The Centen-
nial is well planned, but the matter prac-
tically stops on paper. Individuals have
not contributed the necessary funds to
make it successful, and are not likely to do
So The State have thrown the whole bur-
den of responsibility on Congress, and
Congress has made no appropriation, and
in its present economical mood hesitates
to move in the matter.-Fr6e Press

BEAUTY THE SERVANT OF TRUTH.-We
too should be lovers of Christian art; but
.s the most thorough English thinker of
mr. time has striven to teach us, wit itself
obevs laws of morality as rigid as any on
the statute book. Beauty must be the
minister of truth. An art, which over
loads its chaste proportions with needless
ornament, that counterfeits solidity with
painted surface, that tells snowy lies in
Stucco, debases the sense OF honesty as
well as good taste. A luxurious Chris
tianity, which rears its mimic cathedrals
while it leaves the wants of the poorer
thousands unsupplied. makes art itself the
p,nder to a social sensuality.--E. f.. w.

We can almost realize the dawn Of the
era OF cheap cable telegraphing. 1t is an
nounced that an English company intend
to lay IL new submarine cable between
England and the United States and trans
nit dispatches at the low rate of a
shilling IA word. The present tariff per
word on messages over the cables of the
Anglo-American company is 81 03 in gold.
There are now fifteen submarine cable
companies, and in these enterprises Sl00,-
0OO,000 are invested. Among the pro-
jected lines of cable for which companies
are forming is one from Scilly, England,
to St, John, Newfoundland, 2n00 miles :;
one from Sclly to Halifax, n. s.; one
from Scilly to Bermuda. thence direct to
New York; one from Bermuda to st.

to Lima, Guayaquil. Bonaventura, and the
Isthmus of Panama; one from San Diega,

one from Australia to New Zealand from
which the New Zealand Government has
just granted n charter; one from Yokohama

active trackman, discovering the danger

of the building in order to swing the struc-
ture from the track. lie accomplished
his purpose. and endeavored 10 leap from
his dangerous position, but was crushed
and mangled in the ruins. In IL moment
the train, behind time, swept by with its
passer gers in safety. The brave section
man was found to have been terribly in
jured in his spinal column and lower limbs,
and t. this day has never been able to
leave his bed. The railroad company has
furnished cottage at North Boscawen for
himself and wife, and continue him at half
pay upon the section-roll. Mr.. Plummer
is free from pain only II small part of the
time, but in his misfortune he exhibits :,
patience and cheerfulnes, that stamp him
with the highest nobility. Boston Jour
