Brutality ii New York Hospitals.

A number of charitable ladies in New
York-visitors to Bellevue Hospital
were shocked and disgusted Mt the bru-
tality, want of skill and carelessness Of
the nurses employed there. Few Of them
were properly trained. But one or two
thoroughly understood the duties re-
quired. Some were strong, but coarse
and rough; some others We're not strong
enough and shirked their work. The
patients suffered from this condition of
things. Women, in tine most critical
period of their lives, were ill-treated and
neglected. Men requiring the utmost
nicely of quiet nursing died because
they could not obtain it. There were NO
such nurses to be had at Bellevue. The
lady visitors werel touched. They saw
the need; they resolved that it should
exist no longer. In the name of human.
ity, they appealed to the charitable gen.
tlemen Of New York. Their appeal was
answered by the gift of twenty thousand
dollars. They began amid doubt and
encouragement. Their second annual
report has been issued. and their success
is assured. They at first took charge OF
| three wards, and engaged to supply the
proper nurses. They now have nine
wards, an intelligent and trained body
of nurses, the hearty support of the at
tending physicians and of the newspa
| pers, to extend their work.

THE HIDDEN LIFE,

In the time of some ancient wars
party OF marauders went to the house
OF noble lady and demanded her hus-
band. 10 all their threatening ques-
tions she answered only. II have hidden
him." They searched every nook of the
house and grounds, returning with fresh
menaces, and when she knew that he
had sufficient time to make his escape,
she said: "He is hidden in my heart,
and there you cannot find him." If hui
man love speaks thus boldly, how safe
must be the soul that is hidden in God
Did you ever read the words slowly, and
take in their full sweetness, "for ye are
dead, and your life is hid with Christ, in
Godr" The Christian walks the streets
and paths of this world in full view of
friends and foes, opposed, derided, some
times admired, always misinterpreted,
almost always beloved. How is this life
hidden? When sunlight is separated by
the prism into the seven colors which
compose a rainbow, there are always two
rays above and below tho bright hues,
unseen, but appreciated by the use of
proper instruments. The one nearest
the red ray holds the greatest magnetic
force of the light; these are uncolored,
and of course invisible, but the wonder
| full power of light in its influence on
vegetation, or the chemlcal change pro-
| duced on certain substances is hidden in
1 them 1t is thus with the Christian, his
llfe-supplies are drawn from an invisible
I source; the world cannot see the strong
magnet-like force that draws him te
God, nor tho heavenly glow that warns
and iRnnlinates his soul. They read his
motives, comprehend his hopes, pene
| trate his sorrows. or intermeddle with
his joys. His life must ever remain Q
mystery to them, until they have TASTED
his blessed experience. Hidden in God
not shut up in a corner, but covered
with His immensity, shielded by Hi
eternity, need we fear to go hence, L
leave this transitory existence, when W,
know that our true life is hidden il
Him, when we feel that we belong tx
Him and that His love is sufficient fol
happiness? Shall we reach implorini
hands into the future world for thu
abode of our sainted dead, when W,
know they are with God, and that W,
have this sure promise: when Christ
who is our life, shall appear, then shal
ye also appear with Him in glory?"

MARCH, Winds.

How dye do, again Glad to see you,
my dears. Do you know that in very
old time, March was the first month of

honor long ago, but she has clustered
about it ever since.
Her winds soon will be talking to the
trees, and trying to make them think

declared that ] snored so loud that she
could not sleep, l felt sure that it was
not /, but quietly staid awake to see,
and soon discovered that it was Mr..
Meddlesome Wind. He came romping
through the woods, talking to every
body in our neighborhood; trying TO
give them bad dreams.
First l heard him say TO the dear
tree branches:
"hub each other show some spirit
anything for fun; break your brothers
arm ON, and see how he will scold hit
the next tree little-she's maple and
loo weak to strike back Ha that's
fun I"
Inc poor. sleepy branches did as he
told them, and there was u family row
up there.
One would suppose he might be sat-
lsned then. But no his fun was not
complete until he had spoiled the solid
comfort OF our "feeble folks, THE
fern and old leaves, and even the tiny
things under them all.
So down he came, and made q great
ado. He blewall the leaves about, cal.

He actually slapped me in the faces

the poor lady-ferns and proposed
waltz; but he almost twisted them of
their feet, and then laughed at them
as he pushed them back against the

For the Gd=ette.
Cfty WOrE as. Contract UOrh'.

Mr.. EDITOR Many of the quiet clti-
izens, tax payers, have been watching
the debates in Council in relation to the
new basin or reservoir.
Some Of the members are advocates of
the contract system, land very sensibly
we think. In this rank stand all the
Democrats with perhaps one or two of
the opposition the balance favor the
work being done as at present by the
city.
The principal argument of the oppo-
nents OF the contract system is, that the
work can be done better by the City than
by contractor, even though it cost
more.
Here we take issue with them. Sup
pose the plans and specifications are
made ont by q competent engineer, land
we presume Mr.. Morris to be such q one),
why cannot the plans and specifications
be as thoroughly executed by alcontrac-
tor. under the supervision OF I'm engineer
as by the cityl?
Name building OF any size erected in
this city on any other than :the contract
system. Almost all the work done, or ma
terial furnished the city,is by this system.
Now why should mot the samey system
apply to the reservoir?
We haven't the least doubt that under
a a'contract saving can be realized in
the cost from $4,000 to $4,000. Mem
bers OF Council say, eve want no Mill
River disaster" very true, and if the
Civil Engineer does his duty under the
contract system, there need be no disaster.
Make the contractor give bonds for the
faithful performance Of the work see
that every plan and specification is faith
fully adhered to and while a large saving
is had to the city. all danger of accident
is averted.
Now is the time to prepare the plans
and specifications. 1t gives the commit
tee time TO examine and become thor
oughly acquainted with them, and the
Chief Engineer i'll charge of the work
would have time, ample time, to post
himself on the subject.
This is a question Of great Importance
and should be seriously considered, more
particularly in these hard times, when
money is very scarce and retrenchment
the order of the day
We think we can venture the assertion
that If the basin is built by contract
from the present until its final compile
ton, we can donate S.. 900 to the Centen-
nial, as asked for by the Board of Trade,
and deposit $4,000 in bank as n gain
over tho present system.
Let the matter be canvassed and in
formation brought ont for the benefit of
all TAX PAYERS.

We sincerely hope that the SEN
ate will not place itself on the re
cord as the House has done In the
Indiana Legislature, as saying that
they design to legislate IN favor of
reducing the weekly wages Of jour
neyman printers by cutting down
the scale of publ hing delinquent
tax lists just one half from the old
price. This is the only effect of
the proposed reduction SO far as
we can see; because if published at
all, at the new price, n reduction
on it's cost must be made some
where. and that is about the only
place that we know where publish
ers can make It, Assuredly our
law makers do not design to
legisiate in favor of reducing the
weekly wages of those who have
nothing to depend upon but their
daily labor for subsistence, We
shall see what the Senate Will do
