In recent letter to an Indiana paper COL
Robert G. Ingersoll says that the only item
perance speech" he ever made was in what
was known as the Mum trial in Chicago,
when he made these few remarks on alcohol:
Il believe, gentlemen, alcohol to y certain
degree demoraliZes those who make it, those
who sell it, and those who drink it. be-
lieve that from the time it issues from the
coiled and poisoned worm of the distillery
until it empties into the hell of crime, dis
honor and death, it demoralizes everybody
that touches it from its source to its ends. |
do not believe that anybody can contemplate
the subject without becoming prejudiced
against the liquid crime. All we have to do,
gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks upon
either bank of this stream of death. of the
suicides, of the insanity, OF the poverty, of
the ignorance, of the desttution, of the little
children tugging at faded dresses of weeping
and despairing wives asking for bread. of the
millions struggling with imaginary serpents
produced by this devilish thing; and when
you think of the jails, of the aims houses, of
the asylums, of the prisons, and of scaffolds
upon either bank, I do not wonder that
every thoughtful man is prejudiced against
that damned stuff called alcohol

bed Story.
from the New York Timcs.1

A hearing was had before Judge Donohue
in the Supreme Court Chambers yesterday ON
the return to the writ of habeas corpus sued
out by Joseph s. Rown to recover possession
of his son. whoni he claimed, his mOther-in-
law. Mrs. Isaac j. Oliver, had placed in n
founding hospital The circumstance OF the
case as told by Mr.. Rown are very singular.
It seems that in September, 1875, he went
with his wife to California, but that she re-
mained there only three months, at the end OF
which she returned alone to this city, and
went to the house of her mother, Mrs. Oliver.
While in that house Mrs. Rown gave birth to
male child, but Rown was notified that the
child had been stillborn, and that its body had
been buried. Shortly afterward Kown re-
turned to this city, where he has since been
living with his wife. He never learned that
his first child had been born alive until last
Saturday, and then only by very odd cir
cumstance 1t seams that Mrs. divers son
George had married Miss Gillen, who be-
came very sick recently, and was brought to
her deathbed. She sent to her mother-in-laW,
Mrs. Oliver, for assistance, but was refused
her. She then became indignant, and wrote
letter to Rown, stating that his child had
been born alive, and had been soon after
taken to the founding hospital in Sixty-ninth
street by Mrs. Oliver The latter, according
to MIR. Rown's story, went to the hospital or
ASYLUM and asked Sister Irene whether she
would not take in newly born child, whose
mother was poor and unable to support 1t !?
Sister Irene wished to see the mother first.
This seemed unsuitable to Mrs. Oliver, and
SO she dressed herself like a beggar-woman,
and in that garb went to the asylum and de-
| posted the child in the basket which hung
| before the door Of the institution. Mrs. RoWn,
| in her weak condition, was unable to make
resistance, and was afterwards afraid to tell
her husband of what had been done The
| young Mrs. Oliver, nee Gillen, has died since
telling Rown the story. Rown went and saw
| Dr. Arnold, who was present at Mrs. Rown's
accouchment, and he stated that the child was
born alive. Rown then paid visit to the
founding asylum and asked Sister Irene
about the matter. The worthy Sister wished
to know the child's Christian name, in order
to identify it, but Mr.. Rown was unable tc
give it. He furnished her, however, with
the date when the child was deposited in the
basket at the asylum. and by means of this
and the clothes which the baby wore is to be
identified. Sister Irene is to inform him OF
the matter on Wednesday next. Mrs. Oliver
when served with the writ of habeas corpus
admitted that she had taken away the child,
and said she did not want to support 'othel
peoples children" She made return yester
day that the child is not in her custody
Judge Donohue will render decision in thu
case to-day.

PEOPLE WILL.TALK.

You may get thro' the world. but t will be very slow,
Ii YOU listen to all shat is said as gOu go,
YOu'll be worried and fretted and kept IN stew,
For meddlesOme tongues will have something TO do
For people will talk
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing. or else you're fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
If generous and noble they'll vent out their spleen,
You'M hear some Loud hints that you're selfish and
mean:
If upright and honest and fair as the day.
They'll call you rogue in a sly, sneaking way
FOR people will talk
And then if yon show the least boldness Of heart,
OR a slight inclination to take your own part,
They'll call you upstarf, cOnccited and vain,
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain
For people Will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape,
For they criticse then in different shape,
You're ahead OF your means, your tailOrs unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's naMght to be
made
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do, is to do as you please,
For your mind, II You have one, will then be at ease
Of course you will meet with all sorts of abuse:
But don't think to stop them, it amt any use
For people will talk.

Remedy for Burns.

DIR. Waters, of Salem, speaking before the
Massachusetts Dental Society, stated that bi-
carbonate of soda, such as is used for cook
ing purposes, or any other alkali in neutral
form, would afford instantaneous cessation
of pain from the severest burns and scalds,
and would cure such injuries in few hours.
Deliberately dipping sponge into boiling
water, the doctor squeezed it over his right
rist, producing IL severe >cali around his arm,
some two inches in width. Then, despite
the suffering occasioned, he applied the scald-
ing water to his wrist for fully half minute
Bicarbonate of soda was at once busted over
the surface, wet cloth applied, and the
pain, the experimenter stated, was almost i'm
mediately deadened. Although the flesh on
the rist was literally cooked down to the
swet glands, and the wound was of ma
ture to be open and painful for considera-
bic time, on the day following the single ap-
plication of the soda the less injured portion
was practically healed; only slight discolor-
alton of the flesh was perceptible. The Sc
verer wound, in few days, with no other
treatment than a wet cloth kept over it,
showed every sign of rapid healing.

EVERY man of sense and refinement ad-
mires woman as woman; and, when she
steps out of the character, thousand things
that in their appropriate sphere would be ad-
mired, become disgusting and offensive. The
appropriate character of a woman demands
delicacy of appearance and manners. refine
ment of sentiment, gentleness of speech,
modesty in feeling and action, shrinking
from notoriety and public gaze, aversion to
all that is coarse and rude, and an instructive
adherence of all that tends to indelicacY
and impurity, either in principle or action.
These are the traits which are admired and
sought for in q woman.

The other day lady visited South Hetton,
and seeing the churchyard gate open, ven
tured in, and saw the sexton busy cleaning
up the walks. She enquired where Mr..
Howell was laid, when the sexton kindly
informed her. She dropped tear over the
grave, and said she would ''sit down beside
him, poor fellow" There happened to be a
dead thorn in the grass where she sat down,
which caused her to jump up again. 'Ah,

MY SWEETHEART.

Do you know nv sweetheart. sir?
She has fled and gone away.
I've lost my love; pray tell to ME
Have you seen her pass to-day?
Dewy bluebells are her eyes;
Golden corn her waving hair;
Her cheeks are of the sweet blush-roses:
Have you seen this maiden fair?
White lilies are her neck, sir:
And her breath the eglantine;
Her rosy lips the red carnations;
Such is she, this maiden mine.
The light wind is her laughter:
The murmuring brooks her song:
Her tears, so full of tender pity.
In the clouds are borne along.
The sunbeams are her smiles.
The leaves her footsteps light.
To kiss each coy flower into life
Is my true loves delight.
will tell You who she is,
And how all things become her.
Bend down, that may whisper:
MY sweethcarts name is-"Summer.
