The Rivals.

king Of a most royal line
Stood at his gates as history saith
He stretched his hand, he made the sign
To put captive there to death.
As those who can no further fly
Turn sharp and grasp the deadly swords,
So the poor wretch about to die
Abused the king with bitter words.
What does he say p the king began,
To whom his iargon was unknown.
Ills Vizier. knd-hearted man,
Who knew that language like his own,
Answered him !: " Oh, my lord ~ he cries.
% Who stay their hasty hands from blood
God made for such men Paradise
He loves He will defend the good"
The kings great heart was touched at this
1.-THE csptive's blood shall not be shed.
1hen-for serpent needs must hiss
A rival of the Vizier said
' 1t is not decorous that we
Whose blood comes down from noble
springs
No matter what tue end may be,
We sholld speak truth before our kings.
The man who kneels respited here
Abused our gracious, clement lord
There was no blessing, o Vizier-
There was curse in every word !"
SteEnly to him the king II see
You speak the truth no doubt but still
His falsehood better pleaseth me-
For he means good, and you mean i'll.
IF should punish, as | might
lBe thankful that am not JUST,
Your head, when l commanded 'Smite =
Would roll before me in the dust :"

,Test for Death.

People who fear that they may possibly
be buried alive will be glad to know that
DR.. Douchut, one of the leading physi-
clans of Paris, has obtained prize from
the French Academy of Medicine for his
discovery of method by which to dis
tinguish real from apparent DEATH The
discovery is thus explained in one Of the
medical bulletins When the tempera-
ture falls to 20 degrees above zero cen
trigrade, or 68 degrees Fahrenheit, death
is certain. Now DIR. Douchut has de-
vised a thermometer like instrument,
which he calls necrometer, so gradu-
ated that if when placed under the arm
pit of a person supposed to be dead it
marks zero, then life has indeed departed
beyond any possibility of mistake. OF
the merits of this ingenious device, so
far as any experiments or performance
are concerned, no account is given.

The City's Lost Children.

The New York Tribune remarks that,
excluding from the army of lost children
the 1000 inmates of the House of
Refuge, and other Reformatory institu-
tions, there remains the fact that one
fourth of the children in New York alone
are absolutely given over to poverty, to
the temptation of every coarse and brutal
vice. In TACT one-fourth of the children
i'll New York city are in rags, in hunger,
and absolutely unable to learn how to
earn an honest living or to gain one ra-
tional idea of the God who made them.
We do right, the editor says, to pity
Charley Ross taken from his comfortable
home, and loving parents. But these
other souls who have lost their way, be-
long by right to an honest, intelligent,
virtuous life, and their father is God.
Have we no outcry, no money, no pity
for them? In Philadelphia, where 800,
600 were Gustly and generously raised
promptly to save one child, there are
II, 800 vagrant children utterly neglected,
no effort being made there as here by
industrial schools to rescue them to the
State and humanity. There are several
of these schools now in this city, but not
enough to reach tithe of the children.
There is many an idle woman, too, with
means and culture and religious purpose,
whose heart is wrung with pity to-day
for Charley Ross, whom she cannot help.
We only point out to her these thou
sands of other lost little ones to whom
she can give more than home or life, and
commend them to her thoughts.

An AstOutsbed Heather.

Yesterday, while the gale was at its
height, curious accident occurred on
Union street A nobby-looking Chi
naman was walking behind young
lady dressed in the extreme agony of
the fashion, when a sudden gust of
wind blew the Celestial's tail forward
and wrapped the end of it around the
lady's neck. Being frightened, she
grabbed the end of the queue to snatch
it away, but she pulled in the wrong
direction. The Chinaman also made
a grab to recover his property. but he
also was out of luck, as he got hold of
one of those long curls which are usu-
ally seen hanging down from water
falls, as well as of his queue, and
when he took pull at it the whole of
the lady's top hair, hat and all, came
off The ladys head had no hair on
it, only little that was gathered into
a small knot that stood erect, like the
scalp-lock of a Piute brave. If ever
you saw a Chinaman astonished at
what he had done, it was that man.

Keen the Feet Warm.

Many of the colds which people are
said to catch, commence at the feet
To keep these extremities warm,
therefore, is to effect an insurance
against the almost interminable list OF
disorders which spring out of a
"slight cold First, never be tightly
shod. Boots or Shoes, when they fit
closely. press against the foot and pre-
vent the free circulation of the blood,
When, on the contrary, they do not
press the foot too tightly, the blood
gets fair play. and the spaces left be-
tween the leather and stockings are
filled with a comfortable supply of
warm air. The second rule is, never
sit in damp shoes. 1t is often imag-
med, that unless they are positively
wet, it is not necessary to change
them while the feet are at rest. This
is fallacy; for when the least damp
ness is absorbed into the sole, it is at
tracted further to the foot itself by
its own heat, and thus perspiration is
checked. Any person
may prove this by trying tie expert
ment of neglecting the rule, and his
feet will become cold and damp after
a few moments, although, taking off
the shoe and warming it, it will ap-
pear quite dry.
