sheridan and the ElectOr.

As Sheridan was visiting London in
one of the public coaches, for the pur-
pose of canyassing Westminster, at the
time when Paul was his opponent, he
found himself in company with two
Westminster electors. In the course OF
the conversation one of them asked the
other to whom he should give his vote,
when his friend replied, $50 Paul, GER
tainly; for though l think him but a
shabby sort of fellow, would vote for
any other rather than for that rascal
Sheridan" ''Do you know Sheridan ?"
asked the stranger. ''Not /, sir" an
swered the gentleman; ''nor do 1 wish
to know him." The conversation dropped
here; but, when the party alighted to
breakfast, Sheridan called aside the
other gentleman and said, "pray, who
is that very agreeable friend of yours !?
He is one of the pleasantest fellows l
ever met with, and should be glad to
know his name." "His name is Mr..
T.; he is an eminent lawyer, and re-
sides in Lincoln Inn Fields" Break
fast over, the party resumed their seats
in the coach, soon after which Sheridan
turned the conversation to the law. at
is" said he, "a fine profession. Men
may rise from it to the highest eminence
in the state, and it gives vast scope to
the display of talent. Many Of the most
virtuous and noble characters recorded
in history have been lawyers. l am
sorry, however, to add that some Of the
greatest rascals have also been lawyers !;
but of all the rascals of lawyers l ever
heard of, the greatest is one T., who
lives in Lincoln Inn Fields" 81 am
Mr.. t." Numbered the gentleman.
"And l am Mr.. Sheridan" was the
laughing reply. The jest was instantly
seen; they shook hands, and instead of
voting against the facetious orator, the
lawyer exerted himself warmly in pro-
noting his election.

Activity fs not Always Energy.

There are some men whose failure TO
succeed in life is a problem to others as
well as to themselves. They are indus
trious, prudent and economical; yet
after long life of striving, old age
finds them still poor. They complain
of ill-luck. They say fate is always
against them. But the fact is that they
miscarry because they have mistaken
mere activity for energy. Confound-
ing two things essentially different,
they have supposed that, if they were
always busy, they would be certain to
be advancing their fortunes. They have
forgotten that misdirected labor is but a
waste of activity. The person who
would succeed in life is a marksman
firing at target; if his shots miss the
mark they are a waste of powder. So
in the great game of life, what a man
does must be made to count, or it might
almost as well be left undone. Every
body knows some one in the circle of
friends, who, although active, has this
want of energy. The distemper, if we
may call it such, exhibits itself in vari-
GUS ways. In some cases the man has
merely an executive faculty, when he
should have directive one; in other
language, he makes a capital clerk, for
himself, when he ought to do the think
ing of the business. In other cases
what is done is not done either at the
right time or in the right way. Energy,
correctly understood, is activity pro-
portioned to the end.-ScieRtifc Ameri-
can.

Birthday Gifts Of the Poles.

The Poles, it is said believe that each
month of the year is under the influ-
ence of precious stone, and that this
influence has power over the destiny Of
person born during the particular
month. In accordance with this belief
friends and lovers, on birthdays, make
presents ornamented i'm some way with
these natal stones.
The stones, with their significance
corresponding with each month are
said to be as follows:
January-Garnet: constancy and
fidelity.
February-Amethyst sincerity.
March-BloodstOne courage, pres
ence of mind.
April-Diamond: innocence.
May-Emerald success I'm love.
June-Agate: health and long life.
July-Cornelian: contented mind.
August-Sardonyx conjugal felicity.
September-Chrysolite antidote for
madness.
October-Opal: hope.
November-TopaZ fidelity.
Observation-Disclosures: prosperity.
The old style name-rings are also be-
ing used. These probably are French
in origin. In English rings of this kind
the first letter of each gem used will
form name or Northumberland and
Dearest are not uncommon. We saw
one recently with the latter sentiment
illustrated in this manner: Diamond,
Emerald, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald

The Courage OF . Sergeant.

Courage" says Richter, "consists
not in blindly overlooking danger, but
in seeing it and conquering it," This
description of courage appears to have
been displayed in remarkable manner
the other day by a soldier at Jutog, near
Simia. In the gun-room Of the noun
tain battery stationed there, some sew
enty leather ammunition boxes were
deposited, each containing eight loaded
shells. From within one of these boxes
a slight explosion was heard, and smoke
was seen to issue. There were eighteen
or twenty men in the room, whom the
Sergeant Immediately ordered out of
danger, and himself uplifting the box
by the two handles, he staggered out
with the deadly load poised upon his
chest, and deposited it full twenty yards
away on the middle of the parade
ground. As he did so, the contents
gave forth another warning report. On
eventual examination it was discovered
that some of the friction tubes had be-
come displaced during battery exercise,
and had worked away under the base of
a shell, the weight of which had ignited
them when the box was set down. The
Sergeant certainly deserves, if not the
Victoria Cross, at least some signal re-
ward for his presence of mind and
bravery under circumstances of no or
binary peril.

The Pulpits ef Antwerp.

The pulpits of Antwerp as well as
those of Ghent and Bruges, are sur
prising puzzles. In them you find mar

of art that it il difficult to say whether
the oak grew out of the marble, or the
marble in q liquid state. was poured
over the oak and moulded into shape.
Sometimes an oak tree throws lis
branches about marble shrine wherein
the preacher stands surrounded by q
whole menagerie. Birds and oeasts
perched on the balustrade, with the
strutting cock on the top Of all. Per
haps the little ones who sit under the
drippings of these particular sanctuaries
resolve in their minds that this Is the
cock" as we'll as the "cow with the
crumpled horn that tossed the dog that
worried the cat that killed the rat, all
of whom are immortalized on the
premises. The Calvary at st. Pauls,
which is entered from the street Of the
Black Sisters, i'm one of the curiositles
of Antwerp, and perhaps one OF the
most interesting religious novelties In
this part of Europe. Within the court
adjoining the church, once the cloister
of a Dominican monastery, path leads
to an artificial grotto in imitation Of the
Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. The
whole side of the church is covered
with bits of rock and Stag, and white
statues of saints, angels, prophets, and
patriarchs peer out from the rustic
inches with faces full of agony and
dust. The dead Christ lies within the
sepulchre; white angels watch over the
place as they have watched for more
than two centuries. Children stand up
and look in upon the motiOnless figure
of the Redeemer that is scarcely visible.
for the deep and profound shadows that
are never lifted from the mimic tomb,
birds hover above the court as they al
WAYS do; birds must be religious, they
are so fond of these old churches.-Saa

Among the wise sayings for the year
are the following:
A blind mans wife needs no paint
ing.
Death IS before the old mans face
and may be at the young ones back.
Review the time you have misspent
think upon it and lament.
Sloth is an argument of a mean and
degenerate mind.
Evil company makes the good bad,
and the bad worse.
Good men are safe when evil ones are
at variance.
In a thousand pounds worth of law
there is not a Ehilling's worth of pleas
ure.
Recreation should fit us for business,
not rob us of time.
He that can do us an injury may at
one time or other do US kindness.

A Model Wife.

A popular essayist writes as follows
Gas 1 went up the new Massa road
the other day 1 met ragged, stout and
rather dirty woman, with large shall
low basket on her head. In it lay her
husband, large man, though, l think,
a little abbreviated as to his legs. The
woman asked aims. Talk of Dlogenes
in his tub, How must the world look
to a man i'm a basket. riding about on
his wife's head? She put him down
beside the road, in the sun, and almost
in danger of passing vehicles. sup
pose the affectionate creature thought
if he got a new injury in this way his
value i'm the beggar-market would be
increased.
'.This custom of carrying ones hus-
band on the head i'm basket has some-
thing to recommend it, and is an ex-
hibition of faith on the one hand and
of devotion on the other that Is seldom
met with. 1t is at least new cOmmen-
tary on the apostolic remark that the
man Is the head of the woman.

GAME SoUP.-This savory and highly
reiishing stew soup may be made of any
or every thing known by the name of
game, if fresh. Take from two to four
pounds Of the trimmings of coarse parts
of venison, shin of beef or knuckles, or
lean scrag of mutton, all fresh. Ii game
is plentiful use no meat, take out the
bones. and boil this in five pints of
water, with celery, a couple Of carrots
and Burrips, four onions, the larger
portion of Jamaica pepper. Strain
this stock when it has simmered for
three hours. Have ready cut down a
woodcock, half q rabbit, two partridges,
four quail, and season the pieces with
mixed spices. These may be fiOured
and Drowned in the frying-pan, but as
this is a process dictated by the eye as
much as the palate it is not necessary in
making the soup. Put the cut game to
the strained stock with dozen Of small
onions, a couple of heads of celery,
sliced, half a dozen peeled potatoes, or
an ounce of rice flour, and, when it
bOils, very small white cabbage,
quartered; black pepper, allspice, and
salt to taste. Let the soup simmer till
the same is tender, but not overdone,
and. lest it should. the vegetables may
be boiled half an hour before the meat.
This soup may be colored and favored
with red wine.

Among the many processes proposed
for the preserving of meat, is that
which requires that it be placed in an
atmosphere of compressed air. The
results obtained by this process seem
to fully justify the claims of NJ. Alton
so -Reyh hose, the patentee. As illustra-
ting the general method pursued by
the inventor and the character of the
results obtained, the following instance
is given: A half carcass of lamb was
hung for several weeks in an atmOs-
phere of compressed air. and then Ia
ken ont and cut in quarters. One quar-
ter was submitted to cOnnOisseurs, who
pronounced it excellent the other was
exposed in a room merely protected
from flies by light muslin wrapper.
1t dried mp, but retained its natural CO.
lOr; and, when subsequently cooked,
was found to be as sweet and agreeable
to the taste as the other portion which
was eaten while fresh. Should this
process prove to be in truth what is
claimed for it, then is answered prob
lem which has commanded the atten-
ton of inventors for years. The pro-
cess is certainly simple one, and could
be readily adopted in the meat-pro-
ducing countries.-Appieton's Journal.

Copper in the Human Orgdns.-SOme
recent experiments made by NM. Ber-
gerOn and L'HOte, demonstrate the
presence of traces of copper in the hu-
man body. The fact that copper, when
introduced into the system through the
alimentary canal, accumulates In the
liver and kidneys, served as a starting
point for their inquiry. These organs
were analyzed in IA cases, whose his
tory made it practically certain that no
copper compounds had been swal-
lowed fer a considerable period before
death. They were invariably found to
contain traces of the metal, varying in
amount from q quantity incapable of
being numerically estimated-in a
young man of Ito one or two milli-
grams; this latter in the case of man
of 7S. The conclusion is that when the
total mass of the liver and kidneys
contains more than three milligrams of
the metal. it must have been introduced
INTO the system in unusual quantity.
The traces normally present are attri-
butable to such accidental causes as
the use of copper utensils. which are so
generally employed in the preparation
of food the greater part of this Is eli
minated, but a minute trace of the me-
tai is found in the liver and kidneys,
and this is true, whatever the age, sex,
or mode of life.

Bdryta Green.-Make a mixture of
two parts of caustic soda and one part
chlOrate of potash, and add very grdu-
ally two parts of manganese in very
fine powder. Raise the temperature
gradually to very dull redness. On
reaching that point allow the mixture
to cool, and after having powdered it
exhaust it with water. Filter the liquid
thus obtained, and add to it when cold
a solution of nitrate of baryta. There
is formed violet-cOlOred precipitate
of baryta, which is washed with care.
1t is then dried and treated with one
half to one part of caustic baryta, hy-
drafted, and gradually heated up to the
commencement of redness, with conse-
quent stirring. When this operation is
at an end, the mass, on cooling, ap-
pears fine green. 1t is powdered and
finally washed in order to remove any
excess of baryta.-Dingler's Journal.

SUGAR and fatty matter fatten those
who eat them and can digest them. All
the grains are fattening, and all animals
that live on grain become fat if they
have as much as they can eat. On the
contrary, the animals which eat the
flesh of other animals exclusively, never
do become fat, no matter how much
food may be at their disposal; but they
do not feed on stall fattened beef, but
catch game as it runs, and this is not
fat enough to fatten the lion, tiger, or
eagle. Eat lean beef, mutton, and fish,
and avoid sugar, butter, and, especially,
fine -four in all its forms, and eat but
little breadstuff at all. Use tart fruit
and common vegetables, and exercise
freely.
