Carr for the Aged.

Do the young people ever think that they
will be old; that they will soon feel that the
grasshopper is a burden, and fear is in the
way? Only few short years ago that aged
man and feeble woman were young, strong
and full Of life their loving hearts we're
gushing with tenderness and care for the lit
tie ones who now stand in their places. DO
not iostle that aged couple ont Of your path
way, but rather lift them with tender care
over the rough, declining road. You may
have forgotten how carefully they kept your
tender feet from stumbling, and with what
care they watched your advancing steps.
But they have not forgotten, and the time
will come when You will be forcibly re-
minded Of it by the love you have for your
own little one, VIII they hand you the same
bitter cup to drink that you pour out for
that aged father and stricken mother
Verify. with what measure you mete it
shall be measured to you again" Think Of
the anxious days and nights your mother has
watched by your sick bed remember her
loving care, her patience and long suffering
with your fretfulness, and then let the blush
of shame dye your brow that you should be
impatient or unkind to her, now that she is
old Old folks are such trial Yes. they
know it and they feel il, and so will you be

THE PULSE IN HEALTH AND DIsEAsE.-
Every person should know how to ascertain
the state OF the pulse in health then, by
comparing it with what it is when he is
ailing, he may have some idea OF the ur-
gency Of his case. Parents should know the
healthy pulse of each child, since now and
then person is born with a peculiarly slow
or fast pulse and the very case in hand may
be of such popularity. An infants pulse is
one hundred and forty, child of seven
about eighty, and from twenty 10 sixty
years il is seventy beats a minute, declining
to sixty at four score. A healthful grown
person beats seventy times in a minute, de
olining TO sixty at four score At sixty If
the pulse always exceeds seventy, there is a
disease the machine is working itself out (;
there is fever or inflammation somewhere
and the body is feeding on itself, as in con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick.

LAUGHTER As MrDIcISE.-A gentle
man was suffering from an liberated sore
throat, which finally became so swollen
that his life was despaired Of, when his
household came 10 his bedside to bid him
farewell. Each person grasped his hand for
a moment, and then turning, went out weep
ing. A pet ape, which had modestly waited
till the last, then advancing and grasping his
masters hand for minute, also turned and
went away with his hands TO his eyes. This
assumption of deep grief, which II is hardly
possible the animal could have felt, since il
could scarcely have eomprelended the prob
lem OF mortality there so powerfully pre-
sentcd to the human mind, was so ludicrous
in its perfection that thcpatient himself was
seized with an uncomfortable fit OF laughter,
which broke the ulcer in his throat, whereby
his life was saved

Charles l. had followed his fortunes, and
suffering in the Revolution the consequences
of his loyalty, he passed many years in the

following cheerful thoughts ." am fallen

A CAUTION FOR THE BoYs.-The swim
ming season is near at hand, and in few
weeks the lighthouses will be liberally pat
ronized, and secluded hooks by the waterside
eagerly songht out. There is a fact which
we would like to have impressed upon the
minds of the boys, remembrance Of which
may save some of them from death. The
art Of swimming is grand one, and should
be generally learned, while the healthy re-
suits of the swimming bath are invaluable.
But there is a time for the bath, as for all
things else, and that time is not immedi-
ately after meal time, nor when the body is
oyerheaied by activity. No person should
enter the water within two hours after eat
ing, for the reason that there is danger Of
epilepsy at such times, many bathing acci-
dents being attributable TO this fact. There
are doubtless many persons, especially boys,
who enter the water repeatedly just after
eating, and have escaped serious conse-
quences. Thus far they, of course, have been
very fortunate, but the fact remains that in
every instance when they have gone swim
ming at such times, they have placed them
selves in extreme danger Of death.

GOOD ENOUGH
FOR GOODE, OF VIRGINIA.

Special Dispatch 10 Tie tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 29-Nobody has
seemed as yet to understand why SO many of
the Northern Democrats joined with the
southcrners in voting to continue 31r. Goolc,
of the Norfolk (Va.) district, in his seat in the
face of the demonstration by Mr.. Thompson, Of
Massachusetts, that Mr.. Platt was not only en-
titled prima fncic to the certificate Of election,
but that he was elected. Among those who
voted to seat Mr.. Goode we're Mr- Hewitt, of
New York, and many of the most respectable
Democrats in the House. It has trans
pired that the seating Of Goodc was
the result of bargain between
the Southern friends of Mr.. Goode, and the
friends of Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Goode is member
of the Banking and Currency Committee, and
has voted with the soft-money men until recent
w. The Tilden men have been working with
the Southern Democrats to stavc off any action
at this session on the Resumption act, and the
Southerners have agreed
NOT TO VOTE FOR 4 REPEAL
of the date Of the act. 3Ir. Goodc, at the last
meeting but one of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, abscnted himself, and
will not act with the soft-money
men again, 1t is understood, at
this session. Under these circumstances the
Tilden men were willing to give Mr.. Goode his
seat, and their votes for him constitute the con-
sidcration for non-action on the Resumption
act. The bargain is so secure that Nr. Tildcn
finds he tan trust to it, and he will accordingly
make public his letter OF acceptance early next
week, probably on Tuesday morning.

NOTES AND NEWS.


WASHINGTON, D. c. July 29.-It appear, -
be conceded that if the Silver bill can ever be
brought to vote it will pass the House, and
that if it passes the House there is lit
tie doubt that the Senate will concur.
The difficulty still is to discover the means
for bringing it to vote. Those having it in
charge arc confident that twill be brought to a
vote next week. 4 good many men who have
hitherto opposed tue bill are indicating an in
tention to vote for it. They justify themselves
upon the ground that they cannot withstand
the sentiment in their Committees, 4 new clc-
mcnt, however, has entered into the question
by the rise in silver. Kelley and others who are
now prominent supporters OF tile bill opposed q
similar bill when silver was moro valuable than
the grcenback. It is conceded, therefore, for
consistency's sake, that these classes of men
will necessarily be obliged to abandon this bill
if silver continues to increase in value.
RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
A considerable lobby Of Western men have
arrived here to urge the passage Of the River
aud Harbor bill. 4 proposition has been made
to frame compromise bill appropriating
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

tee Of Conference on tile Legislative, Executive,
and Judicial Appropriation bill we're in session
late last night, and progressed toward an agree.
ment. a Communication from the Secretary Of
the Treasury informed the Committee that the
proposed reductions Of the clerical force would
unquestionably cripple the public service, but
he furnished a schedule including the places
where the reduction would do tie least harm,
in case the contemplated compromise should
prove the Legislative ultimatum. Another
meeting is to be held on Monday.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Mr.. Hill chilled up tile bill which was passed
by both Houses: extending the time for the re-
demption OF lands sold for direct taxes, to hare
it amended SO as to exclude the possibility OF

Cemetery. The bill was so amended and
passed.
After protractcd debate the matter, By the
operation Of the previous question, went over
till Monday, and recess Was taken till
o'clock.
The evening session lasted till 10 o'clock, and
was for general debate. "A large number OF
Importance was by Mr.. Morrison, Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means,on his tariff
