Juliet's window. She let down string,
to which he attached n rope ladder,
which was then speedily placed in posi-
tion. Juliet descended, and had barely
reached the ground when her father
popped his head out of the window. He
climbed down the ladder as fast as he
could, and caught her. Then there was
a struggle between the father and the

victor. and she is now under close guard.

The Spectres Of Congress.

A Washington corresr ondent says :
The House of Representatives has its
daily habitues and noted characters
whose histories are interwoyen with the
web of politics. Last year it had its
"little Miss Flite," who watched the
proceedings day after day with starving
hopefulness until her suit was gained,
and then from her seat in the galleries she
rose in full view of all and acknowledged
the victory with pantomimic gratitude
and stately courtesy, which the House
received with laughter and loud ap-
plause. This year we have the "Man
from Shropshire. His name is Schell
he is tall, heavy man, with light gray
eyes and straw -colored whiskers. Every
day, as re, ularly as the House meets,
he may be seen lowering in the rear of
the seats, lettering in the lobby, OF
watching for his prey, in the person OF
some innocent member whom he thinks
is to procure him the position he is after.

is something alarming and stands thus

4 Cure for Intemperance.

1t was suggested some years ago that
the use OF col-liver oil would have
tendency to promote distaste for alco-
holic stimulants. According to the same
authority many people had found they
could take wine with animal food, but
not with farinaceous or amyraceous
nutriment. A we'll known man of
science, Mr.. Charles Napier, has under
taken to test these assertions, and the
results of his experiments are set forth
in paper read before the physiological
section of the British Association, and
which has attracted much attention in
England.
The experience of Mr.. Napier's own
family had furnished seeming proof of
the accuracy of Liebig's statement. They
had for two years adopted vegetarian
diet, and although brought up in the
moderate use of alcoholic liquors. now
felt no inclination for them. More
decisive evidence, however, was supplied
by the application of the theory to
twenty-seven cases, one OF the more
striking of which may be briefly cited.
The case is that of a military officer,
sixty-one years old, of an aristocratic
Scottish family, who had contracted
habits of excessive whisky drinking
while On service with his regiment in
India. We are told that his custom was
to eat hardly any bread, fat, or vege-
tables, his breakfast consisting mostly
OF salt fish, and his dinner almost wholly
of roast meat. During the day he con-
sumed from pint to a quart of whisky,
and was not sober more than half his
time. BY Napier's advice he was in
duced to return to the breakfast of oat-
meal porridge ON which he had been
brought up, and to adopt dinner OF
which peas and beans formed important
ingredients. He does not seem to have
liked the change at first, and made the
significant complaint that he could moi
"enjoy his whisky" as much as formerly.
About this time there was a panic among
flesh eaters in England, owing to the
cattle plague, and, consequently, the
whole family was put on a vegetarian
diet. For some weeks the husband
grumbled very much, but his taste foi
whisky gradually disappeared, and in
two months from the time he became an
entire vegetarian he relinquished alco
holic stimulants, and, according to Mr..
Napier, has not since returned to eithe,
flesh or alcohol. York Sun.

Words of Wisdom.

Faithfulness and sincerity are the
highest things.
From the lowest depth there is a
path to the loftiest height.
1t is less painful to learn in youth
than to be ignorant in old age.
Those who blow the Goals of others
strife may chance to have the sparks fly
in their own faces.
There are sixty eight different sewing
machine stitches, and a hundred and
sixty-eight different ways of lying about
them.
We are taught to clothe our minds, as
we do our bodies, after the fashion in
vogue, and it is accounted fantastical, or
something worse, not to do SO.
There is no teacher like experience
no scourge of our faults comparable to
the lash. Time places in the hands OF
repentance
The world pardons its prosperous
children, and has courtly names fol
their lapses from rectitude, which are
branded with strong sigmas when low
men fall.

Can Write but not Read,

The Raleigh IN. o. Observer says /:
There is man that resides in Buckhorn
Township, this county, who has until
recently been county official for thirty
years. He is an illiterate man, cannot
read line of print or manuscript, but
can write page after page as smoothly
and correctly as any bookkeeper in the
city. He is very fond of writing, es-
pecially if any one dictates, and then
when the manuscript is completed, he
knows no more about it than a hog docs
OF Greek. He bought common cedar
pen staff and holder thirty years ago,
and has used no other since. These
facts can be vouched for by number OF
reliable citizens of this city.

Remedies for Wakefulness.

Thousands suffer from wakefulness
who are otherwise in good health.
With some of them this becomes hab-
it, and too often growing one. Not a
few resort to soporifc drugs, and the
taste for opium is thus often initiated.
Others try alcoholic liquors, and there
can be no doubt that in this way the
foundation of intemperance has been
laid. Many people, however, have
found way of going to sleep without
resorting to such dangerous measures.
For instance, looking at fixed point
steadily will often succeed in inducing
sleep or, if it is too dark to do this,
closing the eyes and in imagination
watching attentively the stream of air
entering and leaving the nostrils. An
other plan has recently been proposed
by DIR. Cooke who tells us that in many
cases of sleeplessness it is only neces-
sary to breathe very slowly and quietly
for few minutes to secure refreshing
sleep. He thinks that most cases de-
pend on hyperemia of the brain, and
that in this slow breathing the blood
supply is lessened sufficiently to make
an impression. Certainly, when the
mind is uncontrollably active, and so
prevents sleep, persons whose observa.
ton was worth trusting have testified
that the breathing was quick and short,
and they have found they became more
disposed to sleep by beathing slowly.
This supports DIR. Cookies practice, but
at other times his plan quite failed. II
is certainly worth any ones while who is
occasionally sleepless to give it trial.
In doing SO they should breathe very
quietly. rather deeply and at long inter.
walls, but not long enough to cause the
least feeling of uneasiness. In fine,
they should initiate a person sleeping,
and do it steadily for several minutes.
In no case should opiates or other drugs
be resorted to for sleeplessness except
under the direction of a physician.

The Man.

Is man whit tho better

For his acres and his palace
If his inmost heart is callous-
Is a man q whit the better?
And if a mans no whit the better

For his purple and fine linen,
For his vineyards and his wines,
Why do thousands bend the knee,
And cringe in mean servility,

For lowly dress Of rags?
Though he owns no lordly rental,
II his heart is kind and gentle,
