':Don't kiss the baby" says the Scientific
American. It, Of course, bases its command
not on the shifting sands of sentimentalism
but on the rock (pasteboard or otherwise) of
science. The danger it finds in the kissing of
babies is, that diptheria may be given TO them
by an adult who has the disease in such q
mild form that he (or more properly she)
treats it onl,' as cold. the american ad-
mits that sit would be absurd to charge the
spread Of diptheria entirely to the practice
of child-kissing,' but says it is hard to
conceive Of any mode of propagation more
directly suited to the spread of the infection.
1t is SO natural for good men and good women
to kiss bright little children, and it is sign
of goodwill and affection SO readily under
stood by the babies, that they might after all
suffer more from living without kisses or dip.
liberia than from dying with both.

The Baltimore american remarks that il
there is Republican party in Maryland out
side of the Custom-House, it doesn't know it.
If there is a Grant party anywhere outside of
present and expectant ofice-holders, it would
be difficult to discover it with the naked eye.
The present unpopularity Of Grant among
the people who have twice elected him Presi-
dent is something that has no example in the
history of our politics.

How a Granger Editor Wrestled with a
Lightning Rod man.

We never knew what serious thing
it was to have new house before. It
seems as if all the lightning rod men
within radius of fifty miles can see
the roof, note the freshness of the
shingles, and make for us. Why, yes
terday, while in the garden sowing
parsnip seed, man with long beard
came swooping toward US, and climb
ing over the fence stepped up to us and
said, in the most familiar manner,
that we must be fond of rural pursuits.
We replied that we were not sure of
that, but we did like parsnips. He
smiled and added that our garden look.
ed wonderfully we'll for the season.
This pleased us. We felt that we were
appreciated, and that man was at
last found who looked upon our efforts
in the right spirit We grasped his
hand and said: "Welcome sir, am
glad to know you. Look at those
onions, those peas, those radishes! |!
All, sir, think of the genius it takes to
bring them to such perfection. You
may indeed" Here we were inter-
upted. The stranger was gazing at the
roof or the house, and working his fin
gers frightfully. "See here, my
FRIEND" he said familiarly, 81 am
"a lightning rod agent. You will
need -" We waited for no more.
We picked up "clod of the valleyW
and rested it gently against the ear of
that lightning rod man for second or
so, and when we stopped to pick it
up again after it had fallen, he was
well, he had gone in the house and
was talking lightning rods to the in
mates in the most agreeable and fas-
cinating manner. We have more re-
spect for the whole fraternity now
than formerly.

THE FADElESS FLOWER.
BY HENRY c. MANER.

In our checkered journey through the world
There is q flower which greets our eye,
Like that on desert sands unfurled
To cheer the traveller passing by.
That flower Is not OF earthly mold;
,Tis opened by the voice of Heaven;
Twill weep, but yet twill ne'er grow cold,
Even when the touch of scorn is given.
1t blooms alike on desert sands,
As well as in the fertile plain;
And when tits crushed by cruel hands,
Twill weep, then softly smile again
'Tis found in darkest, midnight gloom,
As well as in the MONDAY sun,
In pleasures throng. and at the tomb
It's fragrant life has just begun.
1t is a gem that glitters bright
When all things else corrsde and die;
To pity is its sole delight
Its fragrance to embaln sigh.
Though rude winds blast its gentle folds,
Or earth's simooms may dry its leaves,
Yet for those cruel winds 1t holds
The heart that tor another grieves.
When cares Cypress and men forsake-
E'en when parents love is dead
It's hold around the heart twill take
And shelter there the outcast head.
Its smile reflects another's pleasure
Its tears embalm anothers woes;
To friends IL proves golden treasure,
And balsam 10 the wrath of foes.
Twill live and bloom at Heavens gate,
On the cold, gray day of death,
And round the throne twill gently walt
To give the angel spirit breath.
Then cultivate that heavenly flower.
In storm or sunshine, tenderly;
1t lives with calm yet holy power
The fadeless flower of SYMPATHY.

EIOquence as it Shines in Texas.

Intimidate me, gentlemen of the
Jury! me who first drew the breath of
life beneath the gigantic foliage of the
mighty Western forest oak! me, who
was nurtured by the Mississippi and
Graded by an earthquake! me, whose
playthings in childhood were the bear
and alligator and the double-engine
steamboat, and who in more mature
years delighted to grapple with the
impending storm as it rushed wild and
furious from its mountain home?
Gentlemen of the jury, the idea is pre-
posterous. This case is to plain to
argue. The witnesses all spoke dOub-
ly-distilled and clarified truth, but you
must be very careful to believe my
client wherever his statements conflict
with the bold, "unconscionablen array
on the part of the plaintiff Gentle
men of the jury you are too sensible to
pay any attention to anything except
what l have told you. You all look
like eminent divines or United States
Senators, and all the lawyers between
the Sabine and Rio Grande might
talk to you three weeks with right
law, law and evidence on their side,
and fail to convince you, since l have
instructed the Court what to charge
and you what to find. Gentlemen of
the jury, leave my case in your
hands. Verdict for the defendant
without leaving the box.

Trying n COnundrun.

AS q general thing, conundrums
are useless, seldom interesting
Kate d., however, recently used q
conundrum to good account, and
we will tell the readers of the
ARGUS how she did it. Kate had
sister, and between them the fol-
lowing dialogue took place. We
give it word for word:
"John has never given you a
ring" said Hates sister to her one
day. John was Hates lover.
"Never," said Kate, with q shake
of her head.
"And he never will until you
ask him for it, returned the sister.
"Then fear / shall never get
one" was the reply.
"Of course you never will. John
is too stuped to think of such
things, and If you can never pluck
up courage to ask him for one, II
follows that you can never get one"
This set Kate to thinking and to
what purpose we shall see.
That evening her lover called to
see her. He was very proud and
very happy, for the beautiful girl
by his side had been for several
weeks promised to marry him as
soon as the business could be prop
erly done, and John was a grand
good fellow, too, Notwithstanding
his obliviousness to certain polite
matters. r7I
"John," said Kate at length, look
ing up with an innocent smile, "do
you know what conundrum is =
"Why, its q puzzle, a riddle
answered John.
"Do you think You could ask me
one 1 could guessp
81 don't know, 1 never thought
Of such things. Could you ask me
one r. ',.-i
"Well, try, Katie"
"Then answer this: Why is the
letter ID like q ringf"
John puzzled his brain over the
problem for long time, but finally
he was forced to give II up.
81 don't know, Katie. Why
is III"
Because" replied the maiden,
with very soft blush creeping up
to her temples, ice cannot be 'oeo
without It." rl. r -.sl
In less than q week from that
