The Suicide.
DIT eLIsoR.

In garret close, and stifled,
Filled with hot aud poisoned air,
Sits woman, pale and suffering,
Worn ut wi h grief and care;
Tier on tier Of brick and mortar,
Alleys dark, and cutters foul;
Oaths and garbage; these surround her
Like some evil, hideVus ghouls.
But she heeds not this dark picture,
Feels not hunger's gnawing pain,
Forgotten is the landlord threatening
As hor thoughts fly back again,
To tho happy days Of girlhood,
And her valley home secure,
Where the old brown farmhouse nestes,
In the country, sweet and pure.
She seems sitting In the twilight,
With a heart so free from care,
While tho scent of orchard blossoms
Comes up through the evening air.
And the sound Of happy laughter
Floats from out the open door,
Laughter that hus long been silent,
Of the loved ones gone before.
There's one form distinct from othora.
Light, and frail. a1d aged now,
And with shining threads of silver
Lying on the placid brow,
Oh that voice is sweet and tender
Coming through the open door,
But she feels twill soon be silent
Mothers work is almost Ger
Now the deadly air grows closer,
And the old-time memories fade,
Leaving but the sad, dark picture
That the cursed wine has made;
An unsteady step is coming
slowly up the reeliug stair,
And the 6end, by rum made frenzied,
Fells the sufferer from her chair.
Underneath the stars Of Heaven
Lies the river, dark and chill;
Something heavy parts the surface
With splash, and all is still;
Something covered with a blanket,
Lying meath the morning sun,
Something cold, and stark, and fearful,
With all earthly suffering done.
There's no friend to claim the body,
And no tears for her will flow;
There's place to bury paupers
When the heart is still below;
With a strength despair has given,
She has cast tho burden down;
Gone unsummoned into judgment
There to meet Gods awful frown
Who shall say there's no forgiveness
For such souls no mercy shown?
Let the first untainted mortal
Cast on her u stone.
Rather take from your abundance
Substantial aid, and words Of cheer,
And binding up the broken hearted,
bling the breath vi angels hear,

HEARTY BREAKFAsTs.- In majority
of cases, says the journal Of Health, it
will be found that the heartiest meal of
the day should be eaten in the morning.
If the closing repast OF the day has not
been eaten too late, or has not been excess
sive in quantity or indigestible in quality,
the stomach will be rested and active in
the morning after the individual has
enjoyed a cool bath. The stomach will
then respond quickly with the necessary
gastric juice for the solution of food, and, ,
if a fair amount of exercise is taken dur
ing the day, large mess Of food will be
assimilated and converted into blood and
tissue. With good, substantial break
fast, no great amount of food will be
required during the remainder of the day.
One further meal will be ample, and that
might better be taken at from to 3
O'Clock in the afternoon than at any time,
if business engagements only permitted
it. The breakfast may be made from
any kind of wholesome food, and the
fewer kinds the better. The dinner
should be light and readily dgested, if
sound sleep is desired and strong appetite
and perfect powers of digestion next day,
If hunger comes, bowl of sweet milk
and well-cooked mush of Indian meal,
or other unbolted grain, will allay it, and
will digest quickly. One square meal"
in twenty-four hours is all that can be
taken care of by many weak stomachs,
and more than this is an excess and
induces headache, nausea, and distress.
If dinners were abandoned, especially
late and heavy dinners, myriads of dys-
peptics would be cured. But under the
exigencies of city life late dinner can
not be well avoided. This need not be
the tremendous meal it is customary to
make it, if the breakfast be substantial
and nutritious, and not thing of slops
and biscuits as it too often is.

FRENCH BEAUTY. On the much dis
cussed question Of feminine beauty in
France n writer delivers his opinion, in
which, however, we think he will find
few supporters. "The French woman's
face" he contends, "is as handsome rs
that of any other in Europe, and fades
more slowly. AT forty she glides into an
embOnpOint, with an unwrinkled face and
a good complexion-at the age when the
Englishwoman becomes heavy necked
and unwieldy, and the American pale
and wrinkled. The climate has some
thing to do with this, but doubtless her
nourishing food, generous wine, and out
of-door air much more. Her mode of
living contributes thereto-the exercise
and development Of each function in
more natural and sensuous manner than
with us. There are ascetic ideas in
America which have tendency to retard
the physical development of woman, for
mind molds matter. The American has
more intellect than her French sister,
but the latter has softness where she has
pertneSs. There is nervous excitabilty
and cleverness in one, mellowness and
and equality of character in the other.
The forced, brilliant vitality of woman
in America is subject to fits of reaction,
for nature has its limits. In the French
woman the mind is more even and cheer
ful, and in the absence of exhaustive and
irregular demands made upon it the uni
form health is better"

SHE VOTED. Considering that the
following comes from a Laramie paper it
is not very bad. The papers have been
telling about the Laramie woman who
sat down and took a good cry when her
vote was challenged. Now let them talk
about the woman at Medicine Bow, who,
just as she was depositing her vote last
election day was surprised to hear a rough
sing out
Il challenge that woman's VOTE"
son what grounds, sir ?'
"She hasn't been long enough in the
Territory"
Did the woman sit down and cry over
it? 1t is not to be recorded. Her dainty
little hand glided back into the folds OF
her pull-back, and the next thing the au-
dacious cuss knew he was gazing into the
muzzle of derringer, while the fair
voter said
How long have been in the terrific
ry, sir?",
Look out, madam--don't. TIL at

GouNG REDsKIN SCHOLARS In Da-
tllota, some of the Indian children attend
school, and at least one schoolma'am in
that territory wishes from the bottom OF
her heart that they didn't. OF course, in
the conduct of schools, it would not do to
make any distinction on account of race,
and this preceptress has been compelled
to restrain the copper r-colored portion of
her pupils, in degree far more irksome
TO them than to the white children. For
time the Indian pupils submitted toll
erably well to the discipline of the school
room, but recently an outburst came, all
Mt once. Looking upon the schoolma'am
as one maliciously deprivng ;hem of lib
erty, the Indian pupils made dash at
the teacher one afternoon, carried her out
of doors, and actually ducked her in the
water. Fortunately the youthful braves
did not quite drown the young lady in
getting satisfaction for their injuries, and
the school goes on as before with the sole
difference in its conduct, that the teacher
doesn't scold so much, being deferred by
a painful hoarseness.

PRoFAYITY.-We are emphaticaly in
the age of profanity, and it seems to us
we are on the topmost current. One can
not go on the streets anywhere without
having his ears offended with the vilest
words, and his reverence shocked by the
most profane use of sacred names. Nor
does it come from the old or middle aged
alone, for it is a fact as alarming as it is
true, that the young portion of the COM
munity are most proficient in degrading
language. Boys have An idea it is smart
to swear, that it makes them manly but
there never was a greater mistake in the
world. Men, even those who swear them
selves, are disgusted with profanity in
young man, because they know how, of
all bad habits, this clings the most closely
and increases with years. 1t is the most
insidious ofhabits, growing on so invisibly
that almost before one is aware he becomes
an accomplished cursor.

CHEATING AN APPLE GIRL.--" I'll
give $40 to have that train stopped!' ex-
claimed Major A. ID. Carpenter yesterday
TO Mr. b. Hoxsie, Master of Transpor
'tation, of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad. The eastward
bound passenger train had pulled out Of
the depot and was rattling through the
yard, the bell ringing merrily. Major
Carpenter stood within The depot, and
Mr.. Hoxsie was watching the fast re-
.ceding train. The request was sufficient
for Mr.. Hoxsie to act upon, although ig-
norant of the reason, and n freight engine
standing near by shrieked shrilly at the
engineer of the passenger train, and the
alarm was taken up by the other engines
in the yard, while the train was motioned
. down by every employe of the company
in the vicinity, and in thirty seconds it
had come TO stop, TO the wonderment
. of the passengers and the curiosity of
; the engineer.
1t happened in this wise: Just before
the train started a man standing on the
step of the cars had called to him little
girl with a basket of apples on her arm,
and purchased dimes worth of fruit.
lie placed the apples in his pocket, and
just then the train moved slowly off
Taking a ten cent note from his vest
pocket, be held it in his hand as the train
moved on, the little girl following i'm
.ploringly along, and finally he Teturnod d
the money to his pocket and went inside
the car. The liltle apple girl burst into
tears. Just then Major Carpenter passed
through the depot on his way to dinner
and asked her the reason of her tears and
she told him. "I'll give $40 to have that
train stopped ~ shouted the Major, who
though a small man physically, has a
heart as big as all out of doors. The
train was stopped and backed into the
depot, and with the Majors protection
the little girl identified the fellow, who
was made to give her the dime, and then
listen to an opinion about himself, ex-
pressed in very vigorous English by the
thoroughly aroused Major. Officers Mad
den and Cain were called in, and the
fellow was taken off the train, marched
TO the calaboose and kept there unit
evening. Then he was made to solemnly
promise that he wouldn't eat another APP
pie tor twelve months, and released, talk
