Men ridicule the early loves of others;
but their own never appear ridiculous
to themselv
Women are more considerate; love to
them, at every age, seems divine. For
whatever else they may have contempt,
they have none for true affection, from
infancy to old age.
And the earliest loves, the loves of
boys and girls, of mere children as 1T
were, are often of the most serious and
las ting nature They survive al other
changes, and end only-if they do end
therein the grave.
1t is very true that many man can
count the sweethearts he has had, upon
his ten fingers, and then not number
them all, as many woman can her de-
voted beaux; aud all of these are cast
aside finally TO marry some one else.
But this is by no means always, nor Is
it generally the case. Early love is
more apt than any other to be enduring;
and many a husband and many a wife
VITO make marriages of convenience,
could they know how the csress which
they receive are in reality inspired by
and meant for some far off, early love,
would be greatly shocked.
Early impressions sink deep into the
human heart. They aIe not easily eff
faced. Even the laugh and jest of the
world hardened man over his loDg-aRo
school. boy love, is not unfrequently fol-
lowed by a silent tear. 1t ia, in Truth,
the sweetest memory of his life.

Memory.

The human mind in this life may fail
TO recall or rscollect, but all il learns
will be remembered eternally. Some
evince in this life this wonderful power
of recollection bot hereafter oil shall
remember the facts OF life as well as
any remember them here. The notori-
ous c1unt Of st. Germain is q wonder
ful instance OF the power OF ie,ollec-
tion. ANY newspaper lie read once no
knew by memory, and was furnished
with such a gigantic, comprehensive
power OF numbering, that he retained
series of numt ere, which lie could re.
cite forward, backward, and pulled ont
from the middle. From the court OF
Henry Ill, in Cracow, be demanded
one hundred packs of picque' cards,
mixed them together in disorder, let
him name all the succession of the
cards, ordered il TO bo noted down ex-
actly, and then repeated them, follow
ing one after the other, without bei0g
wrong once. He played almost every
musical ins rument, was an excellent
painter, and initiated any handwriting
in the most Elusive manner. He had
but one passion-playipg all genes
with absolute mastery.

Alchool from Iceland Moss.

We learn that alcohol is made at ST..
Petersburg and the northern provil CT s
of Russia from Iceland m 0ss, and that
this branch of industry has become
quite extensive. In Finland, Archar-
gel, Pskow, AID Novgorod, brandy and
alcohol are manufactured from the
mosse s and licheus growing there. The
manufacture of ichen and moss spirits
began in Sweden, and from there went
to Finland. At the last Russian indus
trial exhibition specimens of the alco-
hol were exhibited which we've made IN
the distiliery at Wincilas, and from the
Levin manufactory in the city of BJr
eia, as well as from the factory of Zad-
ier, and of Count Trabirki in ST. Peters
burg. German, English and French
manufacturers were we'll nleased with
its quality. In northern Russia it is
said that this branch of industry, brings
in net profit of 100 per cent. aud in
the interior countries 40 to 100 per
cent.

WEST

The C.ucinnati tobacco b oard of trade
have adopted series of resolutions express
ing the belief that any advance of the existing
tax on tobacco would prove injurious to all
branches Of the tobacco trade: that any ad-
ditional tax would be unjust to both the pro-
ducer and consumer and that as measure to
increase the revenue it would fail of its pur-
pose. They also request all members Of con
gress in sympathy with the tobacco interests
to prevent, if possible, any increase in the
rate OF taxation on tobacco.

Action on the Hawaiian reel ioroeity
treaty has been detained by the senate foreign
relation committee, ia order to consult with
Secretary Fish about the possibility of other
governments claiming a right to take advan-
tage of its provisions, under the most favored
nation clause in several existing treaties.
With view to obviating all difficulty or con-
troversy on this point, Senator Hager has sug-
gested to Secretary Fish that tobacco might
be included in the list of articles Of American
production which the Sandwich Islands shall
admit free of duty. If this were to be done,
it is believed no other nation have any desire
to be placed on the same footing. Secretary
Fish will submit the matter to the cabinet 1t
is suggested that the treaty would gain
strength if an amendment is made by the SEN
ate, pledging the Hawaiian government against
other nation to acquire naval stations or other
footholds on the islands. If thus amended by
the senate, no complaint could be made by
other nations against it's ratification by Hawaii,
the latter not proposing it.

ALCOHOL AS A REMEDY FOR BURNS
Alcohol, recommended by Sydenham,
has lately been employed by Leviseur,
particularly with children, as the most
rapid and effective means of alleviating
the pain of buns. The affected part
is either simply covered loosely with AN
alcoholic compress or is bathed with al
eohol, when tho pain instantly disap
pears, but returns again when the ap-
plication ceases. 1t must, therefore,
be continued for one or two hours, and
then be repeated at longer intervals,
until the reddened epidermis is bleached
and shrivelled, or uniil any blis.ers
that may have formed have opened and
discharged, which will take place in
from six to twelve hours. Care must
be taken, especially where the surface
to be treated is large, that the vapor Of
the alcohol does not affect the patient.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The state supreme court of Illinois
has decided that the practice known as cham
perty, the legal practice of taking a case and
dividing the profits with the client, is Illegal,
and is punishable by fine and imprisonment.
The west began the agitation of q
cheap sleeEing-car berth system and now New
York is moving in the matter. A bill has been
introduced into the leg gislature of that state
requiring that no company shall charge for
any lower sleeping-car berth more than one
dollar and fifty cents, nor more than one dol
lar for an upper birth, or two dollars and fifty
cents for a section of two berths, or five dol
lars for stateroom, For distance not to
exceed one hundred and sixty miles not more
than one dollar shall be charged for lower
berth, nor more than fifty cents for an upper
berth. II passenger having secured berth
is obliged to leave the Car before four O'clock
in the morning one-half the amount paid Is to
ba refunded to him This is an immense dis
count on the usually heavy charges on sleep
ing cars, and if the refol m is carried ont in
the east it will not be long before rates are
equally as low on western railroads.
