A Modern Arcadia.

The Department OF State has received
a report on the social and political con-
d1tion of the Dutch from the Minister
of the United States to the Hague. AS
an illustration of the carefulness and
steadiness of the Dutch, the Minister
SAYS that there has not been bank fail
ure in Holland during the last forty
years, and that the paper money of the
banks during that time has been equal
to gold. In regard to fire-insurance
companies there is no such thing rs a
failure on record, and, while the rate 81
insurance does not average more than one
half Of per cent, the companies are In
the most fourishing condition, realizing
IL to 16 per cent. per annum. First
class railroad travel is only / cent per
mile, and yet the roads pay good divi-
depds. Pilfering officials are scarcely
ever heard of, and when they shock the
nation by turning up they are severely
punished and forever disgraced. No
free passes are granted, and managers
and directors have no power to pass any
body over the roads free; all must pay
the public rates. Dishonesty of any
kind or failure in business means public
dishonor, and utterly bars the dishonest
from any future public consideration.
Four millions of people live within an
area of 10000 square miles, q fact I'M
precedented in any other country, and
all appear to be happy, prosperous and
contented. The secret of this prosperi-
ty lies in the fact that all live within

The Phosphorescence Of the Ocean.

From the Tedesco rocks, on the outer
point at Swampscott, recently, there was
a scene of awful sublimity. A heavy
surf during the day had been rolling in
upon the beach, and breaking with mag
nificent effects upon the rocks, while the
broad expanse of the ocean was white
with the foam of a million caps which
were dashed into spray by the gale. As
the night came on and deepened, the
wonderful phosphorescent light, far
more brilliant than anything ever seen
upon our shores, was displayed in a
pageant of indescribable beauty. AS
far as the eye could reach along the
rocky coast the breaking surf was
turned to molten silver, and then to
deepest emerald, and then to the mi
mute sparkling fires one sees flashing
from coronet of diamonds in artificial
light. 1t was a sea of glittering gems.
The crest of every wave was a line of
massive silver, and the seething waite rs,
changed from palest blue to most bril-
liant green, emitted light which
cleaned upon rock and grass, and was
reflected upon the clouds above. At
midnight, at the full tide, the splendor

after wave broke upon the line of rocks,
showing wall of colored fires. forty,
and at times even fifty ieet, IN height.
The ocean seemed afame. The crest of
every wave was coruscation of gems
sparkling with more than rainbow hues.
The intensity of color, all luminous with
phosphorescent fire, was far more Won
derful than that produced by any me-
chanical chemistry. Footprints of sill
yer in the sands; handfuls of diamonds
for the grasping, and although so fleet
ing, they will remain possession for
ever.
Standing thus in the darkness and
loneliness of midnight, at the edge of
the vast, turbulent ocean of light, with
the cleaning splendor of advancing and
retreating waves, the vision Of the
apocalypse was for the time made real.
In imagination it was city garnished
with all manner of precious stones,
jasper and emerald and chrysolite, and
the streets were of pure silver, as it were
transparent glass. And 1 saw no
temple therein, for the Lord God AL
mighty was the temple of it. And the
city had no need of the sun, neither of
the moon to shine in it, for the glory of
God did Tighten it. Letter an Boston

ForestaIlinR Disease.

When We see that death Is SO often the PEN
atty paid for fatuous disregard Of the eymp-
toms of approaching disease, should we not Be
warned against the folly Of neglectng defensive
measures when called for in our own case? As

seek the aid of medicine. The fortifying infiu-
ence upon the system Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters entitle that medicine OF many virtues to
the highest consideration as preventive, and
1t cannot be too strongly recommended as q
means OF arresting the progress Of malarious

A Bad Fire.

"Jones, have you heard of the fire
that burned up the mans house and
lot?"
"No, Smith; where was it ?"
"Here in this CITY,"
"What misfortune to him. Was it
a good house ?"
"Yes, nice house and lot-a good
home for any family"
"What a pity. How did the fire
takeS"
"The man played with fire, and
thoughtlessly set it himself"
Glow silly Did you say the lot
was burned, too?"
eyes, lot and all; all gone slick and
Clean"
"That is singular. 1t must have
been terrible hot fire, and then 1 don't
see how it could have burned the lot y
No, it was not very hot fire. In
deed, it was 80 small that it attracted
but little attention, and did not alarm
anybody"
"But how could such a little fire burn
up house and lot. You haven't told
me-"
"It burned long time-more than
twenty years. And, though it seemed
to consume very slowly, yet wore away
about $3.50 worth every year, till it was
all gone"
"I don't understand you yet. Tell
me where the fire was kindled, and all
about it"
"Well, then, it was kindled in the
end of a cigar. The cigar cost him, he
himself told me, $3.50 per north, or
$50 a year, and that in twenty-one
years would amount to SO, $50, besides
all the interest Now, the money was
worth at least 10 per cent, and at that
rate it would double once in seven years,
so that the whole sum would be more
than 800, 000 That would buy a nice
house and lot in any city. 1t would
pay for large farm in the country.
Don't you pity the family of the man
who has slowly burned up their home?"
"Whew 1 guess you mean me, for
1 have smoked more than twenty years.
But it didn't cost as much as that, and L
haven't any house of my own. Have
always rented-thought ! was too poor
to buy house. And all because have
been burning it up! What a fool /
have been !"
The boys had better never set fire
which costs 30 much, and which, though
80 easily put out, is yet likely, if once
kindled, to keep burning all their lives.
