Ingenuity Of Rats.

A correspondent of Nature filled
two narow-necked preserve bottles with
currantjelly within three inches of the
top, covered them with a bladder and
set them in a place frequented by rats.
"Next morning the bladder covering
each of the bottles had small hole
gnawed through it and the level of the
jelly reduced to the same extent"
Since the hole was about the circumfer-
ence of rats tail, and the distance
from the bladder. to the remaining
level of the jam about the length of
that organ, it seemed evident that the
"small deer had obtained rejection
'by repeatedly introducing their tails
into the viscid matter and as repeated
ly licking them clean To test the mat
ter farther, however, an additional half
inch of jelly was placed in the bottles
and the surface covered with moistened
paper, which was allowed to accumu-
late good crop of mould. The
mouth of the bottle being closed with
bladder as before, the delicacy was
again exposed in the rats banqueting
place On the following morning n
small perforation was found in the
bladder, and upon the mould of the
subjacent paper "there were numerous
and distinct tracing of the rats tails,
resembling marks made with the top of
Il pen-holder. These tracings were
evidently caused by the animals sweep
ing their tails about in the fruitless en-
deavor to find hole in the circle of
paper which covered the jelly"

GOetho'S Mother.

The most widely known and loved
member of Goethe's family was his
mother. She possessed the qualities
which win Affections joyous tempera-
ment, a strong desire to please every
one, lively imagination, hearty good
nature and great common sense. Her
youth and inexperience at the time of
her marriage have already been alluded
to. But. she could not long remain
child in the difficult position in which
she found herself between the children
and the stern exacting father. All
her energies were bent to securing
tranquility in the household, and she
was the pilot, who with ready skill
and quick wit, carried them all safely
through many a stormy passage. The
Frau Rath survived her husband TWEEN
ty-six years, and this was the happiest
period of her life, when she saw re-
allied all her fondest anticipations of
her sons genius, and felt that there
was no prouder title than that of
Goethe's mother. She concealed her
Joy and exaltation behind no thin mask
of shyness, but openly laid claim to the
honor she thought due her. She was
very fond of singing in the circle of
her friends her sons songs, which had
been set to music by Reichardt; the
song in "Faust," "Es war einmal Elm
Konig," she was especially fond of;
she would call upon the company to
make a chorus, and at the conclusion
would place her hand upon her heart
and proudly exclaim, Den bab' ich
geboren. "A. S. Gibbs, IN Scribner.

Once again, 1 pray you, forgive my
sister,"
Anna the old mans voice trem-
bled-" is this not a forbidden subject?'
"But she is sick poor! her children
begging on Christmas nj ght! Father,
pity her-forgive her! Children, all
of you, plead for your aunt-your little
cousins / Nellie! Lola! oh, will you
not all speak?"
A handsome man now came from the
parlor and spoke to Charley.
:" Your name, my man.
"Charles Pomeroy Dugarde.
What! my name? Why
% 1t is Harriet's child, Charley" said
Anna Pomeroy. Father! ah! you
weep. Father, may we 60 and bring
Harriet here?"
Eyes, go; take the carriage and
bring her here" said Mr.. Pomerey.
"She cant come" said Charley;
"she's got no bonnet and shawl; she
sold them fer medicine, ever SO long
ago."
In carriage piled with soft furs and
cushions, Charley and Anna went for
their sister. while their little namesakes
were taken by Lola and dressed-Anna
in a white dress, to Charley's great de-
light, and the young man himself In a
warm suit of his cousins.
Harriet FAY on the hard mattress,
watching for her children. The. fire
was low, almost out, the room bitter
cold, and the invalid lohging, with in
tense desire, for the return of her
children. The time passed SLOWLY, the
fire went out. and, fn the da,<, cold
room, went up prayer for and
petition for her children. SheSr ne
cold creep through her limbs, and she
fancied she should die without again
seeing Anna or Charley.
"This way" said a voice on the
stairs; and moment later her land
lady entered, bearing aloft a candle,
and followed by a lady and gentle
man, laden with furs and shawls. The
lady dropped her pile, apd sprang to
the bedside.
Harriet. oh, my sisterl to find
you in this placer
''Anna is it indeed you? Is my
father dead, that you can come to niesS
Not dead, Harriet bit forgiving.
Come, sfstef, you must come with us"
Gentle hands wrapped her in warm
clothes, and her brothers strong arms
bore her to the carriage. A large, soft
bed, a warm foofn, and low, loving
votes around her, seemed like dream
Of paradise; but when her father, lay
ing his hand upon her head, called down
Heavens blessing on her, then was the
cup of joy full.
The day that closed that night at
Mr.. Pomeroy's was, indeed, a " merry
Christmas ?"

SALT WATER FOR TIE EYES
MANY persons are suffering pain from
weakness of the eyes. This, some
times, proceeds from local infamma-
ton, and sometimes from other causes.
Several persons who have been thus at,
fiicted inform us that Trey have derived
almost immediate, and, in some cases,
permanent, relief from the application
of salt water as bath, and, where the
pain has been aggravated, from a COM
press saturated with salt water laid on
the ewes and renewed at frequent inter
walls. Opening the eyes and submerg-
ing them in clean salt water has been
found beneficial to those whose eyesight
begin to fail.

THERE'S DANGER IN THETOWN
BY JOHN NJ. YATES.

BIZ JOHN NJ. YATES.
There! John, hitch Dobbin to the post; come
near me and sit down:
Your mother wants to talk to you before you
drive to town;
. My hairs are gray l soon shall he at rest
within the grave;
: 1sslong will mother pilot you O. er life's tenn
pestuous wave.
I've watched DER you from infancy till now
you a man.
And have always loved you as a mother only
can;
AT morning and at evening have prayed the
God of love
To bless and guide nv darling boy to the
bright home above.
A mothers eye is searching, John, old age
can't dim its sight,
When watching DER an only child to see if
he does right:
And very lately have seen what has aroused
my fears,
And made my pillow hard at night and moist
ened it with tears.
I've seen a light within your eye, upon your
cheek glow,
That told me you were on the road that leads
to shame and woe;
Oh! John, don't turn away your head, and on
my counsel frown,
Stay more upon the dear old farm, there's
danger in the town.
Remember what the poet says-long years
have proved it true
That Satan finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do"
Ii You live on in fdleness with those who love
the bowl
You'll dig yourself drunkard's grave, and
wreck your deathless soul.

The OpOsSum Family,

In Europe, Asia, and Africa, not a sin.
gle marsupial exists. Our only species,
Didelphys Virginiana, the opossum, is
found from the great lakes to the
gulf, and from ocean to ocean; but it
has several relatives in South America,
where about twenty species exist, such
as the sarigue, shupati, and carigueya,
of Brazil. In some of these the pouch
is rudimentary, affording little protec-
ton to the young, which hang fast to
the nipples until able to jump about,
and then are carried on the back of
the female, where they cling to her
wool and gain additional support by
coiling their tails around hers. Per-
haps the most cunning of this sort is
the so-called Merian's opossum Didel-
phys dorsigera) of Surinam. Also,
the yopock (Cheironectes palmatus) is
peculiarly interesting on accot1nt Of its
aquatic habits and webbed feet, adapt
ed to swimming. Its foot also has a
long tubercle, which has been mistaken
for sixth toe, and the mouth is fur
nished with large cheek-pouches. 1t
inhabits holes along the streams of
Brazil, and lives on small aquatic ami
mails, spawff Of fish, &c. Its mode of
life reminds one of the ofnithorhynchus
and the otter. A specimen of this
species was Gaagbt alive near Para, in
a fish-trap similar to the kind Of basket
with funnel-shaped opening used for
catching eels. Although marsupial
animals are so exceedingly rare in other
parts of the +ssrld, the kangaroos and
almost all of the great variety of AMI
mails of Australia belong to this group.
Thus it appears they are mostly trop-
ical. The earliest fossil mammals
known appear to be marsupia1s, allied
to opossum: In the bone caverns of
Brazil quantities of bones of opossums,
such as live in that country now or SIM
liar, are found. One species of Didel-
phys was found fossil in the Paris Basin,
of Eocene formation. Other relatives
of the opossum have been found in the
fossil state, associated with the pal@o-
therium, anoplotherium, and sother
extinct pachydermocs quadrupeds; but
the most remarkable are found in Jurr
rassic rocks, as the earliest fossil mann
mails known. Their discovery in this
reptilian age in the limestone of Stones
field was go extraordinary that attempts
were made, on the one hand, to prove
that their remains were reptilian; on
the other, to prove that the rocks were
of tertiary origin; but it has been
established beyond all doubt that these
animals originated in this carly rep
titan age, and probably, by descent,
either directly OF indirectly, from not
very remote reptilian aheestty. This
relationship is indicated, not only by
the fossil remains of marsupials, but
also by the anatomical and embryonic
characters of marsupials and mono
tremes, so far as known. The organi-
zation of marsupials seem to bera kind
of reptilian and mammalian combina
ton, as has been shown by the valua-
BILE investigations of Prof. Owen, DIR.
Coues, and others. --Pop'tlar Science

The story goes that Evarts did not

that Plymouth Church deemed his name
and authority Of too great weight to be

urged him most earnestly; would not
take no for an answer, and finally secured
him, giving him a retainer of $4,000.

MOHIf0n's Training.
lDr. SyntaI's letter.

No wonder Moulton's physical endur-
ance bafied his inquisitors while it per
picked the audience. We all noticed that
his condition was superb, but very few
of us found out the key of his mar
yelous conservation OF forces. When the
trial drew near d friend cautioned him
that, being a gay man of the world,
whose habits were no more regular han
those of most of his kind, the enemy
would look for a collapse on the third or
fourth day. Moulton took the hint, and
digested it. Seeking a competent III
thOrity, he put himself in athletic tram
ing. Every morning he arose early and
walked two miles, returning in a glow.
He was carefully spOnged with alcohol
and water, when he took for his break
fast oatmeal and rich cream. Thus pre-
pared, he entered the court, smoked a
lemon to clear his throat of all secretiOns,
and took his seat overlooking with AMI
nal health. Tracy, on the other hand,
had been up all night boiling huge dys-
peptic chunks of suggestion. When the
AIDED lawyer and the brisk witness an
tered into their daily struggle wha
chance was there for the attorney with
bile in his throat, and drowsy blood stag
nation in his brain? 81 was an hour
ahead of Tracy all the time" says
MOulton.
