4 Scene from Life.

OF all the terrible curses that have de-
stroyed humanity, intemperance is the
most fearful. A young man entered the
barroom of a village tavern and called
for drink. "No," said the landlord,
"you have had delirium tremens once,
and cannot sell you any more"
He stepped aside to make room for n
couple of young men who had Just en-
tered, and the landlord waited upon
them very politely. The other stood
by, silent and sullen, and when they had
finished he walked up to the landlord
and thus addressed him:
"Six years ago, at their age, stood
where those young men are now-I was
a man with fair prospects. Now, at the
age of twenty-eight, l am wreck, body
and mind. You led me to drink. In
this room I formed the habit that has
been my ruin. Now sell me few glass
es more, and your work will be done
shall soon be out of the way there is nc
hope for me. But they can be saved
Do not sell it to them. Sell to me ant
let me die, and the world will be rid o.
me but for Heavens sake sell no more
to them !"
The landlord listened, pale and trem
bling. Setting down his decanter, h
exclaimed:
"God help me this is the last drol
/ will ever sell to any one"
And he kept his word.

The Great Snowman.

The Hartford Times has Just discov-
cred an old card, showing that P. T.
Barnum kept boarding house in New
York about 1881. He had just been
treated to sharp treatment in his native
State for his liberality in matters of re-
ligious belief. For his attacks on Judge
Daggett and the courts decisions in his
newspaper, he was arrested and put in
the Danbury jail. He served out his
sentence, and then went to New York,
where, it seems, he set out as the keeper
of boarding house. A few years later
he conceived the brilliant idea of launch
ing out into the showman's business.
He got an old Maryland colored woman,
took her to Boston, and had circulated
and read in the churches an appeal for
aid for her, to purchase her freedom
she having raised enough money, into
about $500, and was, moreover, the same
old aunty who had nursed George Wash
ington The "sell" was perfect. The
ministers went to work to aid the contri-
button, larger sum than was asked for
was raised, and Barnum's career as q
Snowman began. His old colored woman
"drew" like house on fre-not only
10 Boston, but all about the country
and the success of the scheme led latel
to the "woolly horse" and various Other
wonders, and finally to the New Yorl
! museum, then to the travelling show.

Common Sense Ventilation.

The best practical statement l have
met about ventilation was contained in
the remark of mining engineer in
Pennsylvania "Air is like rope ; you
can pull it better than You can push it"
All mechanical appliances for pushing
ir into a room or q house are disap-
pointing. What we need to do is to pull
out the vitiated air already in the room
the fresh supply will take care of itself
if means for its admission are provided.
1t has been usual to withdraw the air
through openings near the ceiling, that
is, to carry off the warmer and therefore
lighter portions, leaving the colder
strata at the bottom of the room, with
their gradual accumulation of cooled
carbonic acid undisturbed. Much the
better plan would be to draw this lower
air out from n point near the floor, al
lowing the upper and warmer portions
to descend and take its place.
An open fire, with large chimney
throat, is the best ventilator for any
room the one-half or two-thirds OF the
heat carried up the chimney is the price
paid for immunity from disease, and
large though this seems from its daily
draft ON the woodpile or coalbin, 1t is
trihing when compared with doctors,
bills and with the loss of strength and
efficiency that invariably result from
living in unventilated apartments.

In the Storm.

Night on the ocean, dark and cold;
A shadowy beach where the wild waves rolled.
The foam-capped waves. ss witlssullen roar
They argrily charged on the desolate shore.
Over the ssnds feeble light
From the fisherman's hut cleaned tbro' the
night,
While woman waited and watched alone
And shuddered to hear the storms wild moan.
"shine ont thro' the gloom, o light |" she
cried,
" My boys frail bark DER the waves to guide.
He will know the lamp that his mothers hand
Has set to beckon him safe to land ~
Loud and louder the wild winds roar,
Lashing the lonely, helpless shore,
And none may hear the pitiful wall
That floats ashore on the cruel gale.
But ere the morning has dawned at last,
The wind, the storm, and the gale are past,
Aud one by one in the shadowy sky
The starry lamps are hung on high
And they beckon the soul of the fisher boy
To world of wonderful unknown Joy,
Fen while the light in the window burns,
Where mothers heart for her boy still yearns
Morn on the ocean, bright and fair;
Sunbeams tangled in sea-wet hair;
Sunshine kissing the face 30 white
OF him whose life in the angry night,
Stranded for aye on the unknown shore,
Should never know storm or shipwreck more
But the wall from mothers broken heart
The gates Of heaven have cleft apart.

The Book of Thanks.

Young folks are often encouraged to
keep diary. Little harm and some
good may come of the practice, pro-
vided the diary is made an honest record
of deeds done, places visited, books
read, studies pursued, and of thoughts
suggested by reading and observation.
But there are two shall nots " which
should govern the practice. One is that
the diary shall not contain affectations
of sentiment. The second is that the
diary shall not be shown. The one will
make you sincere, the other will train
you to honesty. But better practice,
as it seems to us, is to keep record,
either in the memory or in book, of
the kind words and deeds shown to us
by Others. Here is an account of q
"Book of Thanks" kept by boy:
"I feel so vexed and ont of temper
with Ben," cried Mark, "that I really
must -
"Do somethingin in revenge ''' inquired
his cousin Cecilia.
"No. Look over my book of thanks. u
whats that 2" said Cecilia, as she
saw him turning over the leaves of q
copy-book, nearly full of writing, in q
"Here it is" said Mark. Then he
read aloud:
" March S.-Ben lent me his hat.
"Here again: january 4.-When
lost my shilling Ben made it up to me
kindly WE'LL" observed the boy, turn
ing down the leaf, "Ben is good boy
after all. ="
"What do you note down in that r
asked Cecilia, looking ovefhis shoulder
with some curiosity.
"All the kindnesses that are evel
shown me. You would wonder how
many there are. find great deal o
good from marking them down. dC
not forget them, as 1 might do if onl,
trusted to my memory, SO hope that
am not often ungrateful ; and when I an
cross and out of temper 1 almost Away
feel good-humored again if l only lool
over my book"

Letting the Animals Loose.

Lucy Hooper writes to the Phlladel-
phia Telegraph from Paris: The Me-
nagerie Bidel closed its doors with
grand farewell performance, which was
likewise a gratuitous one. This me-
magerie added to the usual display OF
wild beasts and the feats of ion-tamersa
new and popular attraction. M. BIdel
was in the habit, at the close of the per-
formances, of letting loose number of
tame and harmless animals to receive the
particularly of those spectators who had
reserved seats on the front row next the
ring. First came three men, bearing on
their shoulders an enormous beacon
strictor, with head erect and quivering,
darting tongue. Nobody cared particu
larly to touch him, so his bearers march
ed around the ring with him and then
disappeared. Next came huge alliga-
tor, carried in the same way, the first
man carefully keeping down his threat
ening upper jaw. He was not popular
pet either, though many curious indi-
viduals ventured to touch his scaly back
and dangling paws. Then came group
of soft-eyed clumsy llamas, who blum
dered about and walked over the specta-
tors and tumbled on the children and
behaved themselves absurdly in general.
Then the giraffes and the elephant were
turned loose, and were immensely ca
ressed. A race was organized between
the elephant and one of the giraffes,
wherein the former got beaten, and tes-
titled his sense of his discontinue by a
series of horrible howls. But the great
success of the evening were the lion
cubs, five jolly little fellows, looking
like kittens on an exaggerated scale, and
all perfectly wild to be let out for a
frolic. AS soon as the door of their cage
was opened out they all tumbled, down
the inclined plank that led to the ring,
and all nightly inclined to play. They
were picked up and patted and hugged
by everybody who could get hold of one
of them, their tails were pulled and
their ears were pinched, and they were
generally treated with a familiarity to
which members of the royal lion family
are totally unaccustomed. They took it
all in good part, however, growing a
little sometimes when a royal tail was
pulled too hard, or royal ear unduly
pinched, but never attempting to scratch
or bite. After generalfrolic all round,
some of them got under the seats, curl.
ed themselves up, and went to sleep, in
a comfortable, domestic-ca sort OF
fashion. It is an interesting question to
me as to what influence the training will
have on these specimens of a usually in
tractable and savage race. Will they
grow up to be ferocious brutes, growing
at humanity from behind the bars of 6
cage, or will their baby gentleness and
domesticity continue

The Modern House.

The nineteenth century house, says
Popular Science Monthly, has no spe-
cial provision for the admission of fresh
air, and, except in warm weather, its
entrance is jealously prevented. Venti-
lation is change of air, and, unless
scientifically arranged, and especially
warmed in cold weather, such change of
atmosphere means cold currents with
their attendant train of colds, catarrh,
bronchitis, neuralgia, rheumatism, ca
and the evils that spring from
them. Again, perfect ventilation means
the realization, in a great measure, of
the condition of the air out of doors
and few persons, probably, have esti-
mated the enormous flow of air requisite
to effect this. The ordinary notion is,
that the proper renewal OF the air in a
room ought to be measured by the
quantity passed through the lungs of an
individual in any given time. But an
ounce of poison may vitiate a gallon of
water, and nothing short of the removal
and renovation of the whole of the taint-
ed portion, as fast as it becomes tainted,
can insure perfect salubrity. DR.. Dal-
ton estimated the average respiration of
man to be twenty-four cubic inches,
and the average number per minute to
be twenty consequently four hundred
cubic feet pass through the lungs of an
ordinary man in twenty-four hours,
while the fallacy to which We have al
luded assumes that supply of four
hundred cubic feet in the room in
twentyfour hours insures sufficient ven.
tilation. Certainly, if any one would
draw breath ont of one bag, and dis
charge the tainted air flom his lungs
into another, he would always breathe
good air. But it is calculated that @
man will taint and render unwholesome
by mixture 1880 cubic feet of air in
the twenty-four hours for every respi
ration not only robs the imbibed twenty
four cubic inches of certain portion Of
its oxygen, but it has mixed with it 6
quantity of carbonic acid gas and some
vapor and theoretically, at least, the
second respiration, drawn from a room
in which the air is stagnant, begins the
process of blood-poisoning.

Something Entirely New.

The latest dodge, and one of the
sharpest sort, has been attempted upon
several sporting men of Cincinnati re-
Gently, and successfully in one instance.
Here is how it was done: Eph. Holland
and friend were rolling ten-pins at the
Empire, when note came to Eph.,
asking him to call at the Grand Hotel to
see particular friend. 1t was written
on Grand Hotel "letter-head." He
walked down to the hotel, but found
nobody there that he particularly cared
to see. While he was gone, a note came
to "Doc." Martin, at the Empire, writ
ten on Grand Hotel letter-sheet. signed
"Eph." and asking the doctor to send
him hundred dollars by. the bearer, a
young man of respectable appearance.
The doctor knowing that Eph. had gone
to the hotel, and supposing he had met
some friend and wanted to use that
much money, promptly inclosed one
hundred dollars in an envelope and
sent it "by bearer" When Eph. re-
turned the doctor merely asked him il
he had received the money all right.
Then the little game was discovered.

Homesick Exiles Returning.

After the war three or four hundred
Southerners went to Brazil, where they
intended permanently to reside. They
were, however, disappointed in their
hopes, and soon expressed desire to
return, many OF them being in actual
distress. The government, on being in
formed of their condition, rendered to
them free passage ON board of naval ves-
sells. In pursuance of this offer twenty
four Of them returned to New York in
1871. Since that time others have
reached this country by the same means,
and now the United States steamer
Swatara will soon leave for Para, in
Brazil. to bring to this country the re-
mainder of the expedition, and will land
them at Port Royal, s. G.
