BUILDING ON THE SAND.

oTfs veil 10 WOO. 'tis we'll to wed,
For 90 the world has done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure ye pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth
For II you give net heart for heart,
Az well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part
And "built upon the sand"
IT'S well to save, It's well to have
A goodly share OF gold,
And hold enough Of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mind brings;
We can not live on yellow dust,
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own.
lis "built upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell.
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs az we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand

GERMAN BABIES.

A German baby is piteous object; it is

yards Of bandages, which are unfolded once
lat the outside twice. q day; it is never
"bathed," but suppose is sometimes washed
after some occult manner. Its head is never
touched with soap and water until it is eight
or ten months old, when the thick skull-cap
Of incrusted dirt that it has by that time OBJ
tanned is removed by the application of va
rious unguents. Many German ladies have
assured me that the fine heads of hair one
sees in Germany are entirely owing to this
unsavory skuil-cap. When, having some ju-
venile relatives staying with me, I insisted on
their being dubbed" all my female friends
were shocked at my ignorance and wilfulness,
and assured me that it was entirely owing to
our barbaric bath system that the King Of
Hanover had lost his sight.
my friends, we are not all blind" said !;
and then they were silenced, if not convinced.
To this terrible system of bandaging and car
rying the child in q peculiar fashion wrapped
in mantle, that is partly slung round the
hips of the bearer, something after the FASH
ion prevailing among Indian squaws, may be
attributed in great degree the number of
curved spines, crooked shoulders, and abnor-
NAL developments we meet with in Germany.
Yet, strange to say. ricketts," disease only
known with Us among the poor, who cannot
afford the time themselves, or pay others to
nurse their children properly, goes by the
name of the EagHsche Krankheit. The baby

peasant girl in loco parents. A mummy is not
thing to fondle, nor is little stiff bundle of
humanity (Which you might stand up on end
in the corner of the room without detriment
to its sumptuary arrangements) an object on
which to lavish caresses. Thus the young
mother is scarcely mother at all, the mater
nal functions being delegated to another.
The baby does not lie on the floor or crawl
to the hearth-rug, Growing and kicking and
curling its pink toes, trampling with its
chubby legs, and. fighting with its mottled
arms, "as one that beateth the air." It
does not swarm up and about it's mothers
neck and bosom. finding its little life and all
its tiny pleasures in her arms; it does not
fall at length into slumber Of rosy repletion,
and with its mouth open, smoothly satisfied,
rejoice its mothers eyes for the beautiful
little animal that it is. No, it is out walking
tied to a feather bed, accompanied by tail
soldiex the father of its poor little foster
brother or sister. which is to grow up as it
can. 1t comes in presently and is taken to
its mamma to kiss; but its real mother, the
mother that fosters and feeds it, soon carries
it away again, and resumes all the privileges
of true maternity for the rest of the day.
The lady might as well be its aunt. "Only
that and nothing more. "-Fraser's Magazine.

A GOOD REToRr.

Referring to the denunciatory cpl
tibet Confederate Congress which
because of the ex- Confederates 10 it,
the Radical papers are SO fond OF
hurting at the body now assembled
at Washington, the LaGrauge Re-
porter makes the following palPable
hit: "They 1.-THE ex, Confedsrates
in Congress- are not there by their
own will not all. They erected a
neat little government of their own,
which was altogether Confederate /;
it was daring, noble, self sacrifc
ing government government
which made as heroic struggle for
independence as ever glorified the
pages of history. Why, bless you,
warlike brethren of the Northern
press, it was the fault Of your people
entirely that that government was
demolished, and that we 'Confeder-
ates' are forced back into the Union.
We wouldn't have been in it to day,
and the hateful 'Confederates would
90. be in your Congress bat for your
physical superiority, We stayed
out as long as we could; we mAnag
ed to put several hundred thousand,
more or less, of your best i'm
ported Europeans under the dali

YOU, who were our coaqaerors, tore

full, blame yourselves, II yoa did

did you not let us stay out of your
detestable old Union when we went
outY We'd have been happy
enough if you had let US alone"

GENTEEL THIEVES The Pater
son On. j. Press thinks that the
crooked whisky convicts should be
relieved from the penalties of the
law. 1t says:
These are no vulgar thieves.
They were, many of them, men OF
the highest reputation, moving in
the best society, with wives and
families men who had served their
country faithfully for years in the
war, some Of them disabled for man
ual labor. Some of them declare,
aud they are believed, that they
were compelled to join the ring at
the risk of losing their places aud
their livelihood. When public sen
timent cools down, a iudicious exer>
else Of executive clemeuey may be
in order"
1t would be edifying to know the
difference between vulgar thieves
and genteel thieves. Ii there is any
difference in their crime il cannot DE
in favor Of those who, in their edu>
cation, intelligence aud social posi-
ton had the most safeguards to their
honesty. When fashionable thieves
receive their Just deserts, perhaps
viii not become so much
the fashion.

PARpoNED.

Four innocent men have just
been pardoned out Of the Oregon
State prison after spending three
years there on life sentences. In
1872 a stage was stopped in a lonely
place by four masked men, who
took from it gold dust worth 81, 200.
The nearest house was the residence
of the four men who were afierward
wrongfuly convicted. Footprints
we're found leading from the place Of
the robbery to that house, and it
was also ascertained that the men
had been out late on the night of the
crime. There was no other indica-
ton of their guilt; but the public
sentiment was very strong against
robbers, and no more convincing
facts were demanded. A mob visit
ed the house, caught one of the men
and scared shim with threats of
hanging into saying that he and The
others were guilty. The false con-
fession would not have saved his life,
but the arrival of an officer did, and
then he declared the untruthialness
Of his statement. The four were
tried and hurriedly convicted, and
sentenced for life, although the driv-
er Of the stage swore to an opinion
that they we're no, the robbers, for
which testimony he narrowly eseap-
ed being lynched as an aocomphee.
Recently the real criminals we're de
tectea.

BABCOCK.

Though District Attorney Dyer
has failed, says the World, of secur>
ing the verdict for which he labored
so earnestly, we cannot but express
again our first opinion, that if Bah
cock has obtained legal acquittal,
it is only at the cost of moral con-
viction. In the homely phrase Of
Mr.. Dyer, he is like the turkey to
whom the hunter remarked after
shooting off his leg he has got away
but he will roost low hereafter.

FROM all sections of the country

of affairs cannot be much longer al

Campbell, a carpenter, who for
some time had been afflicted with
temporary alteration, tried to cut

ACTIVITY Is NOT ALWAYS EN-
KaGY

There are some men whose
failure to succeed in life is a prob
lem to Others, as well as to them>
selves. They are industrious, pru-
dent, and economical yet after a
long life of striving, old age finds
them still poor. They complain Of
i'll luck. They say fate is always
against them. But the fact is that
they miscarry because they have mis-
taken mere activity for energy.
Confoundipg two things essentially
different, they have supposed that,
if they were always busy, they would
be certain to be advancing their for
tunes. They have forgotten that
misdirected labor is but a waste of
activity. The person who would sues
coed ia life is like a marksman firing
at target if his shots miss the mark
they are waste of powder. So
in the great game of lite, what a
man does must be made to count, or
it might almost as well have been
left undone. Everybody knows some
one in his circle Of friends who though
always active, has want of energy
The distemper, if we may call il
such, exhibits itself in various ways

The court squarely and positively
decides that the taxation of mort

language of Chief Justice Wallace,
"Mere credits are false quantity in
ascertaining the sum Of wealth
which is subject to taxation as prop
erty, and in so far as that sum is at
tempted to be increased by the adj
dition of those credits, property tax
alton, based thereon, is not only
merely fanciful, but necessarily the
