PASSING by a cider press the other day
we were a good deal amused to see several
sturdy, bright-eyed, osy-cheeked boys,
each with a straw in his mouth, sucking
cider from a barrel, through the bunghole.
1t seemed strange that these children
should resort TO this method of obtaining
the cider when by taking the tin cup
which was lying near by and holding it
under the flow of the mill they could OBJ
tain all they desired. The little fellows
sat astride Of the barrels hooking the very
picture of happiness and conteniment,
while such expressions as ''by golly it's
good" and 'this is bully Joe, amt it?''
escaped from their lips at intervals.
The horse walked round in the ring.
The old beam creaked and groaned.
'G'up" and 'go long" sounded from the
driver. All-in all it was truly rural scene
such as may be viewed on many a farm.
AS we gazed upon il we thought Of the
days when we were a boy and sat thus

ry as the birds in the top of the,trees meath

side of the picture of life alone was shown

DANGEROUS DANCNG.-Dancing I'M
der any circumstances is an amuse-
ment which requires youth and high
spirits to render it otherwise than IN
comfortable, but even these advanta-
ges can hardly, it would be thought,
lend much charm TO a festivity such
as, according to the Madras Times, is
popular in some districts in India,
known as the "devil dance" In the
Tinnevelly district a SOiree ddRSdHte
of this description lately led to seri-
Gus results. 1t seems that it is the
practice 10 pass a string under the
flesh on both sides of the body by
means of a large packing-needle in
order to qualify the dancers 'fto
dance before the devil" Three BOYS
were thus, with the consent of their
fathers, prepared for the occasion,
and one of them died few days after
the performance. His body was i'm
mediately burned, but the circum-
stances having been brought under
the notice of the authorities. legal
proceedings were instituted against a
barber, who had passed the thread
through the boys flesh, and against
the boys father for having abetted
the commission of murder, aud for
causing hurt with a dangerous weap-
on The barber absconded, but the
father was apprehended and put on
his trial It was pleaded that the
custom was a usual one in the dis
trict, and was done in fulfllment of a
VOW; and the sessions judge having
found the father guilty of only caus-
ing a hurt, he was sentenced to three
years Imprisonment, which, however,
has been reduced on appeal to one
year. The excessive languor with
which young gentlemen of the pres.
ent day perform their dancing duties
IN society might perhaps be remedied
/ If they We're to undergo a similar pre-
paration 10 that practised in the Tin
nevelly district for the devils dance

make them jump, nothing would.-

4 high-life scandal case Is interest
ing New York. Two years ago
Duncan d. TempletOn married Maud,
daughter .of Col. Chas. P. Babcock,
Grants private secretary. Templeton
did not get his parents consent to his
marriage, and they became estranged
from him on this account. he be-
came incorporate in his habits, and
his wife became estranged from him
on this account. Her mother wanted
her to come to Washington, and she
sought a divorce from her husband
preparatory to taking this step. She
had been to a lawyers Office TO make
arrangements for legal separation,
and, returning, her husband met her
and began to plead with her to return
70 him. She refused, and was very
saucy, and finally said to him in the
presence of a large street crowd col
lected around them, that her face
could get her more money than he
could give her. A friend of his then
tapped him on the shoulder ana said:
''You are making a fool of yourself
If were you 1 would knock her down
before speaking to her." TempletOn
drew his pistol and shot his wife in
the neck. The ball was extracted,
and after a painful illness she recOv-
cred. The suit is for assault with in
tent to kill, and the line of defence is
Templeton's insanity. There is plen-
ty of evidence that he was and Is in
sane, and there is a good deal of tes-
/ timony that Maud has behaved bad.
| ", and that her mother has been the
chief cause of all the trouble. The
case Is in progress and is making
talk.

Davis and Lee-A Noble Pair of
Brothers.

Hon. Ben. IL. Hill, the great Wing
statesman of Georgia, recently made
a speech before the Southern Histori-
cal society, in Atlanta, from which We
made the.following extracts:
81 could detain you all night in cor
recting false impressions which have
been industriOusly made against this
great aud good man. know JeffeP-
son Davis as I know few men. 1 have
been near him III his public duties; I
have seen him by his private fireside;
I have Witnessed his humble Christian
devotion; ana I challenge the judg-
ment of history when say no people
We're ever led through the fiery strug-
gle for victory by truer or nobler
patriot; while the carnage of war and
the trials of public life never revealed
a purer and more beautiful Christian
character.
''Those who, during the struggle,
prosituted public for private gain, or
used positions to promote gain; or
forgot public duty 10 avenge private
griefs, or were derelict and faithless
in any form to our cause, are they
who condemn and abuse Mr.. Davis.
And well they may, for of all such, he
was the contrast, the rebuke and the
enemy. Those who we're willing to
sacrifice self for the cause; who were
willing to bear trials for its success;
who were willing TO reap sorrow and
poverty that victory might be won,
viii ever cherish the name of Jeffer-
son Davis; for, to all such, he was a
glorious peer and most worthy lea
der.
ssI would be ashamed Of my own
unWorthiness if 1 did not venerate
Lee. 1 would scorn my own nation
if 1 did not love Davis. I would ques-
tion my own integrity and patriotism
if did not honor and admire both.
There are some who affect to praise
Lee and condemn Davis. But of all
such Lee himself would be ashamed.
No two leaders ever leaned, each on
the other, in such beautiful trust
and absolute Conscience. Hand in
hand and heart IN heart, they moved
in the front of the dire struggle of
their people for Independence no
bic pair of brothers. And If fidelity
TO right, endurance of trials, and sac
rifice of self for Others, can win title
to place with the good in the great
hereafter, then Davis and Lee will
meet where wars are not waged and
ISLANDERS are not heard; and as heart
20 heart, and wing to wing, they fly
through the courts of heaven, admi-
ring angels viii say, What a noble
pair of brothers."

A Royal Aneedoee.

A good story has lately found its
way into the newspapers, which can
be vouched for as being true. Lord
George Gordon, a young man of
four and twenty, and brother of the
Marquis of Lorne, wishing to mar
ry young lady, went to ask per-
mission of his father, the Duke of
Argyle. The Duke, a pompous lit
tie man, replied in effect, 'My son,
since our house has been honored
by being united with the royal fam
lily, have thought it right to refer
decision on all such matters to
your elder brother, the Marquis of
Lorne. Co therefore and consult
him." The Marquis of LOrne on be-
ing applied to, said, "My dear broth
er, in a case of Importance like this,
l think it right 10 ask the decision
of the Queen, the head of the ROYAL
family, into which l have married"
The Queen, on the matter being
laid before her, declared that since
her dear husbands death, she had
been in the habit of taking no steps
without consulting the Duke OF
SAKE Coburg, the brother of her
dear, deceased husband. To the
Duke of SAKE Coburg, then the
case was referred, and from him q
letter was received, telling his dear
sister-in-law (the Queen) that recent
political events had induced him to
do nothing, even as 10 giving advice,
without the express concurrence
of the Emperor William, before
whom he had laid the matter. The
EmnarOF William WFOfp n lOuo lot
ter, declaring that Though he was
surrounded by counselors, there
was only one, who had on all Occa-
sions proved hims elf correct, and
that person was Bismarck. When
Bismarck was made acquainted
with the subject, he roared out,
"Gott IN Hinlael, let the boy marry
her if he wants to-"

TAIL MEN AND WO8IEN.-As a coun-
try becomes settled, and especially IN
cities where large numbers Of human
beings are crowded into a compare
lively small place, men degenerate IN
height, and the women are not only
proverbially shorter than in the coun-
try, but they are less muscular. As
there are thought to be exceptions to
all rules, there are both tall gentle
men and ladies in old cities 4 ma
jority Of them, however, if traced to
their birthplace. viii be found to
have come from the country. Ken
tucky and Tennessee produce the
tallest men in this country. A young
boy taken from the city, whose pa
rents are below the usual height and
reared IN either of those States, would
probably quite over-top any of his
family. The materials abound in the
grains and meats of thOsesplendid re-
gions for developing the bones.

When the spring Of life was waking
In It's flush OF light and song,
And its rosy cloudlets shaking
Diamond dews the leaves among
Came little peepins violet
Opening its purple bloom.

Through our sunny, Southern home.
When the summer sun was beaming,
Ger the shadow-haunted wood,
And his glaneing pencils cleaning

To its branches, cool and lofty,
Came q wood-dove, flying free;
"Lent to us" to murmur softly
Through our arching, household tree.

Through the meadows, sere and brown,
And its wsvelets flash and Tighten,
Dancing on in mimic glee.
Client to u.s. to cheer and brighten
With its murmuring melody.
When the winter winds were signing 4
And the leaden days were come,

Taken home to endless summer
And 10 never-ceasing song.
Now our hearts low-ehaunted yesper
Tolls the burial Of day,
For our streamlet's loving whisper
In the earth is hid away;
But its wavelets flash and brighten
With pearl and rosy glow,
Taken home, TO bless and Tighten
Where the crystal waters flow.
Through the leaden clouds OF sorrow
Shines our silver star above,
And gleam of faith we borrow
From her crown Of light and love;

That so crushingly has come,
For our guiding star and beacon
Was our darling taken home.

MEDICAL VALUE oF AsPARAGUs.-A
medical correspondent Of an English
journal says..that the advantages of
asparagus are not sufficiently estima-
ted by those who suffer with rheuma-
tism and gout. Slight cases Of rheu-
matism are cured in a few days by
feeding on this delicious esculent, and
more chronic cases are much relieved,
especially if the patient avoids all
acids, whether IN food or beverage.
The Jerusalem artichoke has also a
similar effect in relieving rheumatism.
The heads may be eaten in the usual
way, but tea made from the leaves Of
the stalk, and drank three or four
times a day, is a certain remedy,
though not equally agreeable.
