The Hours AT WHICH DEr--@
In Il paper contributed by l. Occurs.
To the West Riding Asylum MeN;lwson
ports for 1874, several interesting u Re-
tiuu~ are recorded regarding the uuni-
OF deaths which occur during the ditfere,
hours OF the day. Following up the re-
searches of Schneider and others, who had
shown that the greatest number OF deaths
take place during the anti meridian hours,
DIR. Lawson has been able To determine
more closely the time of day when the
greatest number of deaths occur. Supple
mentiug The statistics OF other Institutions
by those OF the West Riding Asylum, lie
Ii .d- that deaths from Chronic Diseases are
more numerous between the hours OF )
aud 10 in the morning than any other time
IN the day. while there are iewest between
The hours ot $ and 10 III the evening.
Ia the case OF acute diseases, such ns
couIinued levers, pneumonia, etc. a differ

Tobacco.

Tobacco belongs to the class of narcotic
and exciting substances, and has no food
value. Stimulation means abstracted,
not added, force. 1t involves the narcotic
paralysis CT a portion of the functions,
the activity of which is essential to
healthy life. 1t will be said that tobacco
soothes and cheers the weary toiler, and
soaces the overworked brain. Such NAV
be its momentary effects, but the sequel
canpot be ignored. All such expedients
are fallacious. When certain amount of
brain.work or hand work has been per.
formed, nature must have space to recup.
crate, and all devices for escaping from
this necessity will fail 1t is bad policy
to set the house on fire to warm our hands
by the blaze. Let it, then, be clearly un-
derstood that the temporary excitement
produced by tobacco is gained by the des.
truction OF vital force, and that it con-

1t does not supply, but diminishes, vital

Mr.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE.
MEN: Mankind, in all ages of the world,
have looked upon labor as menial and de.
grading. and the claims of the industrial
classes to respectability and position in
society, have always been met, by the
snobbish and aristocratic, with ridicule
and scorn.
But the world is moving. Ideas
drawn from a higher plain Of thought,
from a broader, deeper intelligence, are
taking possession of the minds of men.
Il has at last been discovered that the
working classes are not necessarily de-
graded by their toll that such snobbish
ideas of labor do not belong to, or indi-
cate high degree of civilization that
they more properly belong to a semi.civ.
ilized state than to that higher civiiza.
tion which New England society repre-.
sents 1t has also been discovered that
the naughty airs and the snobbish mien
which characterize those who despise la.
Dor and true worth, and elevate Incidence
and gaudy show. better beft the retainers
of the Sultan of Turkey, or, even of some
third rate African Prince, than the true
nobility of the present age The newt
BILE tendency of all true civilization is tC
elevate true worth and TO degrade iti
opposite to honor those who are laboring
in the great cause of human progress
whether intellectual or material to dis
grace and remove that human rubbish
which would sneer at the means by whiol
this great work of human progress is be
ing pressed forward.
There is no place for snobbery an(
pretention in highly civilized society. ant
where it is seen at all, only gives evidenc'
of silly pride and of the lingering trace
of barbarism. The nobility of a tru
civilization, is the nobility OF true worth
and the ladder by which we should striv
to climb to position, to honor, should b
planted upon this great fundamental idea
If any class have reason to be prou'
of their position. it is surely that elias
which places society under the creates

FIVE O'Clock IN THE MORNING.
BY JOHN PAUL.

1t is all very well, for the poets to tell
BY way of their song adorning
or milkmaids who rouse, to manipulate
cows
At O'Clock in the morning.
And OF moony young mowers who bundle out
doors,
The charms of their straw-bedS scorning-
Before break of day, to make love and hay,
AT O'Clock in the morning
But between me and you, it is all untrue
Believe not a word they utter;
To no milkmaid alive does the finger of i've
Bring beauX--or even bring butter
The poor sleepy cows, if told to arouse,
Would do so, perhaps, in a horn-ing;
BUT the sweet country girls, would they show
their cUrls,
At O'Clock in the morning?
1t may not be wrong for the man in the
song
Or the moon-if anxious to SETTLE
10 kneel IN wet grass, and pop, but, alas
What Il he popped down on a nettle ?
For could he see what was under his knee
AT o'clock in the morning?
1t is all very well, such stories to tell.
But if | was maid, all forlorn-ing
And lover should drop, in the clover, to
pop,
At 3 o'clock in the morning;
If [ liked him, you see, I'd say, "Please call
at three -
If not, I'd turn him away with scorning-
Don't come here, you fat, with conun-
drums like that,
At o'clock in the morning -

by your sides your lawful husbands

A MUTILATED STAMP.

During the latter days of the session Of
Congress an old gentleman visited Wash.
ington to arrange some matters in relation
to patent. One day, while visiting the
Capitol, he tiade the acquaintance of one
of the employees, who showed him much
attention, and devoted several hours to con-
ducting him through that stupendous
edihce and directing his attention to all
its various beauties and attractions. The
old gentleman was completely captivated
by the young man, and formed for him the
highest attachment Congress adjourned,
and the young man returned to his home
in Ohio; but the old gentleman remained in
the city few days, and then visited Balti-
more. While there he was taken i'll,
and Immediately FASTENED back to Wash
ington. Growing worse he resolved to
make his will, and having none but very
distant and unknown relatives, he deter
mined to bestow his wealth upon the young
man for whom he had formed SO great an
attachment. Desiring his presence, and
having his address he wrote few lines,
giving information of his health, and re-
questing visit from him without delay, as
he had a gratifying surprise in store for
him.
The letter was inclosed and stamped
with a postage stamp, the only one he had
which was slightly torn in separating ii from
the pocket-book, to which it unfortunately
adhered. An acquaintance and daily visitor
was employed TO mail the letter, who called
the attention of the old gentleman to the
rigid adherence of the postal department to
its rules in relation TO lnutilated stamps; but
he would not listen to the suggestion, saying
that the stamp was genuine, had not been
used, and was good as ever, and he would
not waste its value. The stamp WAS
accordingly used, and the letter was duly
mailed
Now comes the sequel. The letter was
detained here for postage, solely on ac-
count of the tIifing mutilation referred to,
and the party TO whom it was addressed
was, in about four days, notified of the de-
tention, which notice was received six days
from the date OF the mailing of the letter
with the torn stamp. The following day
Che young man left his home, and deeming
quences without even carrying the Post
Office notice or paying any attention TO it.
Ten days subsequently he arrived at Wash
ington, and then REQUIRED to his memory
the detained letter, and he wrote home for
the Post Office notification. On its arrival
he procured the letter, and in much excite
ment Of mind FASTENED to the hotel of the
old gentleman. Alas when he arrived he
learned that his intended benefactur had
been dead four days, and that the old gen.
tleulan, not hearing from or receiving the
wished for visit, had first felt hurt, then
Sighted, and finally indignant, and in that
frame of mind had made will in favor of
IF poor old lady in his hative State, who
1ad once done him I'll act of kindness.
This was told him by the lawyer who pre-
pared .he will, and who was the party that
mailed the letter. The old gentleman's
wealth amounted to $4,000.
