MARTYRS.

My child, whose soul is like a fame
Within a crystal altar lamp,
Bends DER an ancient book its name
Obscured by mildew damp;
And, tracing down the yellow leaves,
Where quaint and crooked letters stand,
Her breath comes quick her bosom heaves,
Hard shuts the eager hand.
"Mamma''-I meet the lifted eyes
That, softened, shine through glit,ering tears
God surely gives them in the skies,
For all those dreadful years,
"Some sweeter thing than others have,
To comfort after so much pain,
But, tell me, could we be as brave
Through fire and rack and chain D.?
. m glad there are no martyrs now"
Bliihe rings the voice, and positive.
"Ah, love" my own heart answers low,
'The martyrs ever live.
"a royal line, in silk and lace,
Or robed in serge and holden gray,
With fearless step and steadfast face
They tread the common way.
ethan dungeon bolt or folding blaze
Their cross unseen may heavier press,
And none suspect, through smiling days,
Their utmost bitterness"
'tSomc sweet thing surely God mnst keep
To comfort" said my little one:
They thank Him now if tender sleep
Comes when the day is done"
Gods angel Sleep, with manifold
Soft touches, smoothing brows of care,
Dwells not beyond the gates of gold,
Because no night is there.

DIscoNTENT.-In every village town
and city are to be found, at regular
hours on loafer's corner, few seedy
sour and dilapidated old gasometers
forever breathing out blue bazes and
fiery anathemas at everything in general
and most things in particular They
hate those more prosperous than them
selves, and manifest unutterable con-
tempt for those who are poorer. They
are rarely if ever, seen in church /;
throw cold water upon all public enter
prises, say hard things of their neigh
bors, criticise the preacher and make
themselves general bores to the commu-
nifty. A post mortem examination would
reveal the fact that their hearts we're
black with poison, and that their poor
souls even in life, had experienced the
screenings of that "fervent heat which
awaited them.

Matrimony and Suicide.

Albert Rhodes contributes paper to
the Galary on Suicide which pre-
sents so many classified facts, that the
reader is almost persuaded to believe
with Buckle, that the data of race re-
ligion, climate and habits being given,
we can decide suicidal probabilities with
scientific certainty, The vicisstudes of
matrimony provide the following Undue
tions: 1t has been found that in mil
lion of husbands without children there
were 40 suicides. and in the same
number with children, there were only
205. In million of wives there were
157 without children and As with chill
dren. Assimilative results were dis
covered in the case of wdowers and
widows: in million of widowers with
out children there were ,004 suicides !;
with children, 500; among the widows
there we're 23S without children, and
l04 with These figures are eloquent
pleaders in favor Of family ties as conscr-
vators Of life. They show that man
must love in order to live that life is
only complete with the mother and child
and that in spite of all the caro- with
which the ordinary bachelor surrounds
himself, and the absence of solicitude
and care for others, he does not succeed
in rendering his existence as agreeable
as that OF the married man.

A FISH THAT LIVES IN THE Mud
Here's story of fish who can live
without water! This accomplished
scaly gentleman is native of Africa
where most of the wonders come
from nowadays-and has the misfor-
tune to belong to river which dries
up every summer. Rather a discour-
aging circumstance to fish, should
say but this little fellow doesn't mind
it. When the water gets low, he very
coolly burrows nearly two feet in the
mud on the bottom, and there he stays
while the hot sun dries up the water
and bakes the mud till it is full of deep
cracks. When the water comes back,
fills the cracks and soaks into the
ground, the mudfish comes out as
lively as ever. One of this family has
lately gone TO live III the aquarium in
England, where his ways can be stud
died and now we shall know how he
gets on in water all the year round,-

WHAT THE MICROSCOPE REVEALS


Lewenbeck tells us of an insect seen
with the microscope, of which twenty
seven millions would only equal a
mite.
Insects of various kinds may be seen
in the cavities of a grain of sand.
Mold is forest of beautiful trees,
with the branches, leaves aud fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is cover
ed with scales like fish; single
grain of sand would cover one hum
dred and fifty of those scales, ahd yet
q scale covers five hundred pores.
Through these narrow openings the
perspiration forces itself like water
through sieve.
Each drop of water contains a world
of4iving creatures, swimming with as
much liberty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like cows on meadow.

PRODUCTION OF SILVER IN THE
WHOLE WORLD.

WHOLE WORLD.
According to recent statistics, the
production of silver in the whole
world in 1900 was $35,OOO,OOO, which
rose in 1850 TO S52, 100000, i'll 1854 to
$47 100000, and in 1865 to about $62,-
100000. The production of this pre-
cious metal during the year 1872 is
subdivided as follows: England and
it's colonies, $4,000; Norway Sweden
aud Denmark, $25O,OO0; Russia $780,
600; Austria, S1,62O,OOO :Germany, ,S3,-
100000; France, $2.OO0,OOO; Spain, 81
OO.OOO; Sardinia, $50O,OOO; Mexico,
S2O,OOO,OO0; Central aud South Amer
lea, SS,0OO,OOO; Canada, $SOO,OOO: the
United States, $36. 500, ,O0O, which gives
total of $50, 5,25O,OOO. Including the
year 1873, it is estimated that the total
production of silver, since the discoy-
cry of the New World by Christopher
Columbus, has been $7l5,OOO,OOO the
largest source OF accession, during late
years. being due TO the Nevada mines.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN THEATRES.

The San Francisco Alta has the fol-
lowing report of a suit recently tried
there: "In the case of Green, color
ed man who sued Manager Mcguire
theatre, United States Circuit Judge
Sawyer decided that portion of the
act of Congress, declaring any man
ager OF a theatre, or similar institu-
tion guilty of a misdemeaiior who
shall refuse admission to any colored
person, is unconstitutional and void.
He said that Congress had no power
to make such law, though the Legis-
lature of any State might, perhaps, do
SO. The management Of a theatre is a
private enterprise ; the proprietor con-
ducts it for his own profit: !: it is his
investment, and he can lay down the
law by which it shall be conducted,
and the public has nothing to do with
it. Ii the defendant had sold q ticket
and agreed to let the buyer in, he
would be liable to an action for dam
ages, and such suit might legally be
brought. In the case as it stands, how
ever, it is beyond the power of Con-
gress to rule as 1t has in passing the
act, and so much of the. Fourteenth
Amendment as applies to such cases
is unconstitutional and void, and there
is no ground on which his indictment
can be sustained. The prosecution
gave notice that the case would be ap.
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court" ,t......... -.f...t
