The Forrest Home.

The former residence of Edwin For
rest, near Philadelphia, now home for
INDECENT actors, is strange place. The
house is a palace in it's gorgeousness ;
the furniture is beautiful and expensive !;
the library, the pictures, and the stat
uary are such as are seldom seen in pri-
vate collections. All this is enjoyed by
two old and infrm actors and superin-
tendent, for the benefits of the estab-
hshment have not been availed of by any
except the two mentioned. Celia Logan,
who recently visited it, says that their
chief trouble is to kill time. Forests
will orders the erection of a miniature
theater, in which the inmates of the
home may entertain themselves and 9TH
ers. The endowment is sufficient to
maintain large number of persons, and
it is supposed that in time the institu-
ion will be come filled.

Singular.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette says
that chronological tables yield many sin
gular condolences. Thus, pa years
measured the duration of dynasties Of the
Kings of Rome, the Seleucid monarchs,
the Merovingian Kings of France, and
the Lombard Kings of Italy. In like
manner 424 years was the duration of
Solomon's Temple and of the Roman
empire, from the battle of ActiUm to the
death of Theodocius the Great. It
reaches also from the famous era of Ma
bonassar to the death of Alexander; from
the fall of the Roman empire on the
death of Caesar Augustulus to its re-es-
adjustment by Karl the Great; and from
the suppression of idolatry by Constan-
tine to the establishment of the Temporal
power by the donation of Pepin. Morel

The fear of the weather has sent multi
tudes to the grave, who otherwise might
have lived in health many years longer.
The fierce north wind and the furious
snow-storm kill comparatively few, while
hot winter rooms and crisping summer
suns have countless hecatombs of human
victims to attest their power. Except in
localities where malignant miasms pre-
vail, and that only in warm weather, out
door life is healthiest and happiest, from
the tropics to the poles.
The general fact speaks for itself, that
persons who are out of doors most take
cold least In some parts of our country,
near one-half Of the adult deaths are
from diseases of the air passages. These
ailments arise from taking cold in some
way or another and surely the reader
will take some interest in subject which,
by at least one chance out of four, his own
life may be lost.
All colds arise from one of two causes.
1. By getting cool too quick after exer-
else, either as to the whole body, or any
part of it.
2. By being chilled, and remaining
so for long time, from want of exer-
else.
To avoid colds from the former, we
have only to go to fire the moment the
exercises cease in the winter If in sum-
mer, repair at once to closed room, and
there remain with the same clothing on,
until cooled off.
To avoid colds from the latter cause,
and these engender the most speedily
fatal diseases, such as pluerisies, Group
and Inflammation Of the lungs, called
pneumonias, we have only to compel
ourselves to walk with sufficient vigor to
keep off feeling of chilliness. Atten-
ton to a precept contained in less than
dozen words would add twenty years to
the average of civilized life. ...~~.-
Keep array cliltiaaess. by exercise;
cool off SHORTY. Then you will never
take cold, in doors or out !-Ha1ps Jour-
nal of Health.

Opening of Parliament-The Queens Speech
Turkish Cruelties Denounced.
The British Parliament met on the 8th
OF February, and the session was opened
by the Queen in person, for the first
time in many years. The Queen in her
speech says: "The hostilities which
before the close of the last Parliament
had broken out between Turkey on the
one hand and Servia and Montenegro on
the other, have engaged my most serious
attention, and have anxiously awaited
for an opportunity when my good offices,
together with those of my allies, might
be usefully interposed. This opportuni-
ty presented itself by the solicitation of
Servia for our mediation, the offer of
which was ultimately entertained by the
Porte. While proceeding to act in this
mediation, she thought it right, after in
quiry into the facts, to denounce to the
Porte the excuses committed in Bull
garia, and express her reprobation
OF their preparation. Speaking
OF the armistice and conference,
she says: "In taking these steps,
her object has been throughout to main
tain the peace of Europe, and bring
about better government in the disturbed
provinces without Infringing upon the
independence and integrity of the Otto
man empire. F." Her Majesty regrets that
the proposals have not been accepted by
the Porte, but the result of the confer
ence has been to show the existence of
general agreement among European pow
ers, which cannot fail to have a material
effect upon the condition and government
of Turkey. She trusts that the term of
the armistice yet unexpired will lead to
the conclusion of an honorable peace.
She has acted in cordial cooperation
with her allies, with whom, as with other
foreign powers, her relations continue
friendly. Her Majesty alludes to her
assumption Of the imperial title at Delhi,
which was welcomed with professions of
affection, and to the famine in India, to
arrest which every resource will be en-
ployed. The remainder of the speech is
devoted to colonial and home matters.

the air sweet with perfumes that no seal

in the great Saracenic fountain, with it's

cooled by this bubbling water, where
half a dozen streets run together and the
fantastic bazars group themselves in a
circle about it under the shelter of vines

is softened in the smoke-clouds of the

Life Without Food.

A case of life without eating, parallel
ing the singular one of Orpheus @. Kerr,
of the New York Graphic, some time
ago, comes to light in young woman
living near Pittsburgh. A doctor of that
city says that, when his attention was
first called to her, she had been three
months without morsel of food, and
that, Notwithstanding, the girl was fair
and healthful-looking, and weighed $50
pounds. She suffers none of the pangs
of hunger; she has no pains of body, but
is very weak. Her cessation of appetite
occurred last July, and she is now under
treatment at Philadelphia, although with
little betterment, SO far, and yet contin-
ues, extraordinarily enough, without the
ability to eat.

THE SWEETEST NAME.
BY CALEB DUNN.

TIL name of mother sweetest name
That ever fell on mortal ear!
The love Of mother mightiest love
Which heaven permits to flourish here.
Dissect mothers heart and see
The pt )perties it doth contain
What pearls of love, what gems of hope
II, others heart beats not inIvain.
The words of mother! When they few
! loves true rhetoric from her lips,
Tie meteor stars of sin and shame - -
Are lost amid bright eclipse;
And when we walk the glittering path
Wherein temptation oft we see,
Oh, then we realize how strong
The power of mothers love can be.
A mothers love 1t never wanes;
What if her boy an migrate seems?
The beauty of that wondrous love
Around the thankless offspring beams;
Though in the path of shame he walks,
Though crime hath driven him to the bowl,
A mothers care can yet avail
A mothers prayers may win his soul.
What heart like mothers can forgive
The peccadillOes Of our youth?
What heart like hers can lead us back
From sin to innocence and truth?
Oh, name of mother sweetest name
That ever fell on mortal ear
Oh, love of mother mightiest love
That heaven allows to flourish here.

Hhat Mr.. Pmrnlam Safd.

The following is another extract from !
the speech OF Mr.. Purman, Republican
Representative from Florida, in the House
on Tuesday:
l waited impatiently for the special |
committee on Florida to submit the re-
port OF their investigation to this House, |
and again | looked forward with a rea-
sonable expectation that the Electoral
Commission would decide to admit
evidence sufficient at least to satisfy the
country as to which electors were really
elected by the people of Florida; but /
find now the appropriate opportunity to
state, from my own knowledge, the true
condition Of the Presidential vote in nv
State concerning which so much is in
volved in misunderstanding and contro-
versy. The Republican party in our
State, with all its dissensions healed and
with the whole machinery of the State
Government in its hands. went into the
last campaign determined to win, if our
resources and efforts, coupled with the
most heroic devotion on the part of our
voters, could achieve such an end. Free
| speech and free locomotiOn were enioyed
to the fullest extent by the speakers and
managers of both sides, and at no time
during the tampaing. or rrom any portion
OF the State, came up any cry of intimi-
datlon, with one or two minor excep-
tlons. 1t was without exception, the
most peaceful election ever held in the
state; and not one case of violence or
disturbance on election day has come to
my knowledge. 1t seemed the peculiar
privilege OF the Republicans to win under
all these advantageous circumstance.;but
1t is fact, sir, which ! cannot stand
upon this floor and deny, and which every
, man, woman, and child in nv State
knows, that Florida was lost by the
l Republican party in the late election
a and that the Democratic Governor and
the Tilden electors were truly elected
: make this declaration now under tn,
most solemn sense of public duty, anc
from an irresistible feeling of obligation t,
the people OF my State, who have RICH
f to expect that, however partisan thei
n Representative may be in his politica
+ faith, he should at least, on questions @
- public fact, be an honest man. But, 81,
L would not be understood, in maxim
. this declaration,a las lying calm to any ur
II usual honesty or conscience; | only as
p sert my knowledge of the facts | low
the principles ofthe Republican party AN
Tor their sake have been singed by th
hres OF martyrdom, and l believe in I'll
~ ultimate triumph of its regenerated mi
n sion, but cannot return to nv State an
look my constituents in the face if,stan,
ing upon this floor, and in the present
OF the American people, anxious and el
't Cltled TO know the whole truth concernir
g this dangerous Presidential issue / shoul
