looked serenely out of the old canvas, with
the infant Jesus on her knees.
Heart Of Gold looked earnestly at the
picture trying to remember where she had
seen the tender face before, and as she
gaZed she heard low voice mingling with
the swelling strains of the organ and saying:
81 am the Holy Mendicant of Heaven.
l wander through the world in lowly raj
ment as BELTS a daughter of the people,
and dry the tears of all the poor, who are
my brethren on earth.
l saw you, Heart-of- Gold, that evening
in the street, and gave you of my work to
do, although your hands were small and
weak. Behold! my Jesus smiles, we'll
pleased.
Daughter your task is done. Give me
the penny that has weighed upon your
heart so long. A little longer, only, and
you will behold my face again, where,
standing with the angels of the children,
your mother waits and watches for her
child.''
Christmas eve was the coolest night of
all that terrible year, and Uric and Ulrica
waited in vain for their little drudge to
return to her work.
The child was found next morning lying
on the marble floor of the church with
smile on her dead young lips and the early
sunshine streaming down upon her scat
tered flaxen hair.
She had her bright new penny shut up
in one hand and folded to the childish
breast that would never ache any more.
For she had woke up from the troubled
sleep of her little life, as she used to wake
in the happy old days, and found her
mother watching by her side.

AULD LANG SYNE.

1t is said to be fact that some very
learned gentlemen, well known in the literary
and scientific world, made visit last year to
Cape Cod to gain the opinion Of an old sea
captain there about some popularity of the
tides on its coasts He had studied the subject
all his life, and was considered an oracle.
They found him peacefully smoking at the
door of his cottage, and stated their errand.
"Well, gentlemen" said he, II have thought
q deal on this curious pint, and I've come to
the conclusion that it's the moon. and one
darned thing Or another" >. :,
"A few men here and there.princiPally
there-pass through life peacefully and go
down to the tomb with a quiet mind. In
monastery in Turkey there are twenty three
monks who haven't seen woman since they
were babies. -
cts generally the case with bad boys" j."
philosophically remarks Miss Anthony, that
they look like their mother and act like their
father"

PEOPLE WILL TALK.-You may get through
this world but twill be very slow, if you listen
to all that is said as you go; you'll be worried
and fretted, and kept in Il stew, for meddlesome
tongues will have something to do, for people
will talk.
II quiet and modest, you'll have itpresumed
that your humble position is only assumed /;
you're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're
a fool, but don't get excited, keep perfectly
COOL for people will talk. .
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen, you'll hear some loud hints that you are
selfish and mean. If upright, honest and talr
as the day. they'll call you rouge in sly
sneaking way, for people will talk.
And then if you show the least boldness OF
heart or slight inclination to take your own
part, they will call you an upstart, conceited
and vain but keep straight ahead, don't stop
to explain, for people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, or old fashioned
your hat, some one will surely take notice OF
that, and hint rather strong that you can't pay
your way; but don't get excited, whatever they
say, for people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion don't think to es-
cape for they criticise then in different shape,
you're ahead of your means, or your tallors
unpaid but mind your own business. there's
naught to be made, for people will talk.
Now, tho best way to do is to do as you please,
for your mind if you have one, will then be at
ease. Of course you will meet with all sorts
of abuse, but don't think to stop them, 1t amt
any use, for people will talk

Nut GRAss.-The Union Times says it is
really amusing to hear SO many people tell how
they intend to get rid Of the Nut Grass. One
is going to pillow it to death, another is going to
smother it to death, another is going to spade
up the garden, pick out every nut and then sift
the soil, another says, don't let it go to seed seed
and keep it cut down, another is going to turn
other says, blowing it in the month of July, and
August is sure death to it. One says it don't
hurt anything in the garden, and another says
be would not have garden without it, because
it makes him work the garden oftener and bet
ter, to keep it down. We like the last idea
more than all the rest, for we have come to the
conclusion that it was waste of time and labor
to try to get rid of it after it is pretty we'll "set"
We know gentleman who has taken out three
barrels of nuts from his garden, and he thinks
it is worse now than before. A lady suggested
to us the use of fne-toothed comb. She says
she has raked out lots Of nuts to crack with
such comb. There's more in her head than
hair pins; sure.

Regular Eating.

Half of all ordinary diseases would be ban
ished from civilized life, and dyspepsia become
almost unknown, if everybody would eat but
thrice day at regular times, and not an atom
between meals, the interval not being less than
five hours, that being the time required to
digest full meal and pass it out Of the
stomach.
If person eats between meals, the process
of digestion Of the food already IN the stomach
is arrested until the last which has been eaten
is brought into the condition of the former
meal, Just as if water is boiling and ice put in,
the whole ceases to boil until the ice is melted
and brought to the boiling point, and then the
whole boils together.
But it is the law of nature that all food be-
gins to decay to rot, after exposure to heat
and moisture, for certain time If meal is
eaten and in two hours another, the whole re-
mains undigested for several hours, before
which time the rottening process commences,
and the man has his stomach full of cGrion-
the very idea of which is horribly disgusting !;
but that such is the case, the uncomfortable odor
of the belching demonstrates.
AS, then, all the food in the stomach is in a
rotten condition, in state of fermcntive decay,
it becomes unfit for the purposes of nutrition
and making pure blood in the whole body !;
hence the nerves, which feed on this impure
and imperfect blood are not properly nourish-
ed, and, as consequence, become diseased.
"They complain" they are hungry-and like
hungry man are peevish, fretful, restless. We
call it nervousness, and no one ever knew
dyspeptic who was not restless, fdgety, frettul,
and essentially disagreeable and uncertain.
The stomach is made up of a number of
muscles, all of which are brought into requisi-
ton in the process of digestion. But no mus
Gle can work always. The busy heart is in
state of perfect repose one-third of its time.
The eve can wink twice in second, but this
could not be continued five minutes. The
hands and feet must have rest and so with the
muscles of the stomach; they can only rest
when there is no work for them to do-no food
in the stomach to digest. Even at five hours
interval, and eating twice day, they are kept
constantly at work from breakfast until the
last meal is disposed of, usually ten o'clock at
night. But multtudes eat heartily till within
an hour of bedtime thus, while the other por-
tions of the body are at rest, the stomach IS
kept aboring until almost daylight, and made
to begin again at breaktast-time. No wonder
it is that The stomach is worn out-has lost its
power of action. Many girls become dyspep-
tic before they are out of their teens, in conse-
qucnce of their being about the house and nib
Bling at everything they lay their eyes on that
is good to eat.-Haps Journal.

A country editor in Tennessee, who once
loved local politician, now says: CAT an
election not more than thousand years ago,
this paper supported a gentleman for office du-
ring the whole campaign. 1t stopped its press
to print tickets for him, and the editor stood in
the courthouse yard all day and neglected his
private business to electioneer for him, and
now he tells us to stop his paper, he can't pay
for two county papers. Comment is unnessa-

ApOpleXy.

IF there is any one disease that the diligent
brain-worker, little past middle life, has
reasoned to fear, it is apoplexy. Although
statistical evidence is wanting, the experience
of the physician confirms the popular belief
that more of our distinguished men are carried
off by this disease, or one of its sequels, para
lysis, than by any other cause. The Influences
which tend to produce such result, and the
best means of avoiding them, are the objects
we propose briefly to discuss.
A middle aged physician said one day to the
writer: GAS was walking down the street
after dinner felt shock in the back of my
head, as if some one had struck me; have
not felt we'll since I fear I shall die just as
I do ?" The answer was, Diminish the ten
sion on the blood. vessels, and there need be no
fear of tearing them in weak place." Now,
this expresses in plain terms the exact cause
of apoplexy in the great majority of instances
and it is one, too, which every one has it in
his power to prevent. A bloodvessel of the
brain, from causes which will presently be
mentioned, has lost some ofits elastic strength;
food is abundant, digestion is good; blood Is
made in abundance, but little is worked OFT by
exercise; the tension on every artery and vein
is at a maximum rate the even, clrcultous
flow is temporarily impeded at some point,
throwing dangerous pressure on another the
vessel which has lost its elastic strength gives
way, blood is poured out clot is formed,
which, by its pressure on the brain, produces
complete Inconsistencies. This is the apo
plectic stroke. 1t will be perceived that there
are two leading conditians upon which the
production of the stroke depends; lessened
strength in the vessel, and an increased ten
sion on it.
There are no vessels carrying blood to and
from the various organs of the body which so
frequently rupture as those in the brain. The
causes that produce this result are the fatty
degeneracy of the middle artsrial coat of the
cerebral vessels, whereby their elastic strength
is much impaired, the great regularity OF blood
distribution to the contents of the cranium,
and the little support which the pulpy, sub
stance of the brain gives to the weakened ves-
sells imbedded in it.
The forms of degeneracy that are found in
the arteries of the brain are the fatty and the
calcerous. The microscope has made some
startling revelations on this fatty decay. The
strong, elastic tbers, that should make up the
substance of the middle arterial coat, are IN
places here and there no longer to be seen,
their place being occupied by fatty globules,
which have very lite resisting power to dis
turbing fOrce.-Popular Science Monthly.

"A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
says: Cucumbers in the early part of July are
not unwholesome. They should always be
picked early in the morning, when dew is on
them. Gathered later in the day, under
broiling sun, they are wholly unfit to eat.
This is, no doubt, one reason why they are
consider unwholesome by many persons.

The BED BUa.-Wc knew it would come.
The Scientific american announces that an
insect, hostile to housewives and slumber, has
been purged of its pestilential qualities by q
simple scientific method, and rendered a de-
lightful and indispensable article of the dress
ing-table. BY soaking nice fat bugs in satu-
rated solution of nitrate of potash and water,
a perfume, delicate, delicious, penetrating, and
like nothing else in the wide world, is OBJ
tained
Impressed by this revelation, the Chicago
Tribune says:
What an impetus this will give to the slaugh-
ter of insects of this persuasion Nitrate of
potash is cheap, and bed bugs are plentiful.
The undcrpaid clerk on five dollars week,
living at o dingy, third-class boarding house,
has in this announcement the wherewithal to
accumulate competency. Such is the value
of the daily newspaper as the handmaid of
science, and benefactor of the helpless and
needy.
Now for the discovery that cockroachcs can
be used as favoring extracts for puddiugs, pies,
etc. Gabriel, blow your horn !-Augusta Con-

POLITICAL.

The effect of Democratic rule in the city Of In
dianapolis for this year will be to require $780,
900 more of the tax payers than was paid under
Republican rule last year. while the city debt will
be about 81 100000 larger.
The foreign elements have become so important
in st. Lons politics that the Globe recently said
themorning of election "The great House of Ire
land and the great House of Germany will fight it
out to-day, and the little House of America will
look on in silence"
Ben Wade says in his letter declining TO be the
republican candidate for Governsr of Ohio that
his decision is not on account Of any want Of zeal
in the republican cause. He adds: son the con-
trary have no doubt that the best interests of the
Republic, if not indeed the Republic itself, will
depend upon the ascendency of that great party
in the councils Of the nation for many years to
come. The Democratic party never had but one
principle of policy before the war, and thet was to
uphold and extend human slavery. Since the war
all its principles and practices are negative and
despotcal, and should they triumph, all that we
gained by the war would be lost, and worse than
lost.

Since it has been known that Governor
Dingley was undecided as TO The accep-
lance of third nomination. the names OF
several gentlemen have been mentioned
in connection with the candidacy, the
most prominent perhaps, being that of
General Selden Conner, of Augusta, a
gallant officer In the late war, an accom-
plIshed gentleman and stanch and true
Republican. 1t is somewhat early to pre-
dictate a choice among the worthy citi-
zens whose names will be brought for
ward by their friends; but we mention
that of Gen. Conner as one which has been
very generally commended in different
sections of the State. 1t is important that
the election of our standard-bearer for
the ensuing campaign should be thorough
" considered; for we want to nominate
the best man available and then organize
to secure his election by majority which
will exert an influence through the whole
country. Bangor Wing and Courier.
