Silence and Haste at Dinner.

There is probably not one among the
readers of this paper who would not as
sent to the general proposition that hab-
itual haste in eating is hurtiul to diges-
tion. Everybody knows that food hur.
riedly eaten is very likely to be insult
ciently masticated, and not properly
mixed with those salivary secreiio
which are essential TO the perfect diges-
tion OF many kinds of food particularly
breadstutfs and other starchy prepare
tions. Everybody knows, further, that
food hastily swallowed is very apt to ca o.
~ with it more air than is good for the
stomach Each bolus fills the bore Of
the esophagus, and pushes before it all
the air that tube contains; the successive
charges fill the stomach to distention, o.
ten paralyzing its action for time, and
always favoring fermentation Of the food
rather than its proper solution. All this
and much more of equal physiological
importance, is well known to every in
telligent reader, and we may safely as
sumo that all our readers belong to that
class
1t is therefore no easy task which a
fair correspondent has set US in a we'll

have long been subscribers to. the Scien-

Reunion.

Where shall we meet who parted long ago?
The frosty stars were twinkling In the sky,
The moorland lay before us white with snow,
The north wind smote our faces rushing by.
Where shall we meet? On such a moorland
lone?
In crowded city street, or country lane
On sandy beach-walk, while the sea makes
moan?
In quiet chamber? Shall we meet again
On any spot of old familiar ground,
Our childish haunts7 or in a far-oh land?
All mel what If on earth no spot be found
For longing eyes to meet, and clasping hand
What then ?-If angry fate reunion bars,
better meeting waits beyond the stars.
When shall we meet who parted in the night ?
At some calm dawning, or in nOOntlde heat
To-day7 tomorrow? or will years take flight
Before our yearning hearts find welcome
sweet?
When shall we meet? While summer roses lie
Beside our path, and rustic overhead?
Or later, when n leaden winter sky
Looks coldly on the empty garden-bed?
While youthful faith and hopefulness are ours ?
Or only when our hair Is growing gray2
All mel we may have done with earthly hours
Before 10 comes to us, that happy day
What then 7-Let life's lone path be humbly
trod,
And where or when we meet, we leave to God.

The Year.
BY ANNA BoYNToS AvERILL.

A shower of buds and bloom and dew
Swift and sweet as rainbow light;
A sound of songs and waters too,
Waking out OF silent night.
Mists of green on field and hill,
On wood and valley, far and near;
Soft clouds sailing white and still,
One short day of beauty here,
And Spring had flown away.
The builders caroled I'm the dawn,
The rose-bloom deepened day by day,
The strawberry in the grass was born,
The mowers came and made the nay.
Rich perfumes fioated toward the sky
On pulsing, quivering waves OF heati
The locust and the bee went by,
And while the world was warm and sweet
The Summer went away.
The greenness ripened into gold
And brown and crimson everywhere;
And brightness carpeted the void
And hoated down the mellow air.
The fruit and grain were garnered in;
Thin smoke-wreaths rose above the wood
A soft hush fell where birds had been,
A Loneliness where flowers had stood,
And Autumn passed away.
The earth was still little space,
And waited for its robe Oi white
a wondrous robe, of fairy grace,
That fell and clothed IL In night.
And now the winters fires are lit,
And all the old-time games begun,
As in their cheerful lioht we sit;
For all the Old Year work is done
And Winters come TO stay.
