The Lost Found.

Fifty or sixty years ago, it was the
custom for gentlemen wishing servants
to visit emigrant ships as soon as they
arrived in port. Selecting the man or
woman who pleased them, they would
pay his or her passage money, about sew
enty ar eighty dollars, to the captain,
agreeing to give the servant clothing and
board, and at the end of three years ser
vice, twenty or thirty dollars.
One day, a gentleman, a man Of for
tune, residing in Philadelphia, went on
board the emigrant ship to hire a girl,
or purchase her time," as it was then
called. He selected one, and was shown
her father. The old man was anxious to
90 with his daughter, and after some
persuasion the gentleman purchased his
time. L" Well, now" said the old man,
there's my old wife take her also"
There was something so attractive in the
countGnance OF the old woman that the
gentleman bought her time.
Going together to the registers Office
to complete the bargain, the gentleman
was surprised to find that the name
which the emigrants gave was spelt and
pronounced like his own Inquiries
ended in discovering that he had bought
the time of his own father and mother
When six years old, a son of the old
folks had been taken to America by
gentleman, and they had lost all knowl-
edge of him indeed they had almost
forgotten they had a son ID America.
They recoilected, however, that their
boy had a figure of a cubumber on one
of his shoulders. The newly found son
was stripped in the Office. and, 10 the
delight of the aged couple, there was
the birth-maTk.

socially or intellectually with a home

A Little Delay Fatal.

It is well known that Julius Cesar
might have escaped assassination in the
senate chamber if he had read deliber-
ately a letter put in his hands by one
informed of the conspiracy. The same
fact is true of one or two of the French
monarchs who perished by the assassin's
knife. But the delay of few hours to
open these important letters rendered
escape impossible.
We have never seen the following in
cident before, but it is vouched for by
DR.. McChesney, of Trenton, a reliable
authority.
The success of Washington at Trenton
has been generally considered as the
turning point in the war of independ-
ence.
Yet few persons are aware upon how
slight an event this critical action was
made to hinge. On the Christmas eve,
when Washington crossed the Delaware,
Col. Rail, the commander of the Hes
slams, sat in private room near Trenton,
engaged in drinking and playing cards.
A Tory, who had discovered the move
ments of the American troops, sent a note
by. a special messenger TO the colonel,
with orders to deliver it into his own
hands.
The messenger found the way to the
house, and a negro opened the door but
refused him admittance, took the letter
and delivered it to the colonel, who was
just shuffling for a new game.
Supposing the letter to be unimpor-
tant, or not stopping to think at all, he
went on with his play. The reading of
the letter would have thwarted tie de
sign of Washington; but the love of
play conquered the cOlOnePs prudence
and gave success to a wOrthier cause,
involving the loss of his life and army,
and intimately the freedom of the
colonies. Little did the colonel think,
when he was shuffiing those cards, that
he was losing the greatest game that was
ever played among the nations of the

How She Served two Masters.

The sweetest Oratory that have lis

friendliness in your welfare, and since I

He said: q can't do that, Molly. I
would if I could, because you wish it.

The Dangers of Ether.

1t has always seemed to US the height
of folly to declare there could be no danger
in any anasthetic. The lesson taught by
the late death from nitrous oxide has, it
is to be hoped, been well learned, and we
shall in future hear less of the absolute
safety of any agent capable OF depriving
a person of all sensation. Some cases IN
which ether has been followed by alarm
ing symptoms haYe lately been accorded.
They have been termed syncOpe, but the
word Is not appropriate, as the heart con-
tinued to beat after respiration ceased
This Is what should have been antlci-
pated. When death ispreduced by ether
the animals heart continues to beat long
after the arrest of respiration. The pulse
is auickened by ether and maintains It's
force through a long state Of an8thesia.
In these facts lies the safety of ether.
But it should never be forgotten that
there is danger at a certain stage, and the
danger Is from the side of the respiratiOns
which at length ceases. StertorOu,
breathing proceeds from Paresis OF the
muscles of the palate, and should lead
to the ether being suspended. So respi-
ration growing more and more shallow
and less frequent is a warning and should
rot he overlooked. 1t Is very rare that
the heart faiIs-peThaps never. PallOr

if it occur. But, we repeat, the danger
is from the side of respiration that Of

Living without Food.

1t is true that many chronic diseases
all the world over arise from eating too
much. But it is possible, on the other
hand, to eat too little; and we doubt
whether many could maintain healthy
existence on the meagre diet of such
medical philosophers as the celebrated
COrnarO. How long one could contrive
to live without eating anything at all, is
a question of which few will be inclined
to undertake the practical solution.
Unfortunately, it has been solved over
and over again in the case of many an
accident and many a deed of cruelty.
Without something to eat CT drink, man
Will not live beyond a few days, or at
most a week Access to water, however,
makes 8 difference. There is a we'll
known case of an Ayrshire miner who
lived twenty-three days, buried in ceal-
mine, without swallowing anything but
small Quantities of a chalybeate water
sucked through a straw. He had the
advantage of being shut up In con-
taminated atmosphere, which, by dim
inishing nervous sensibility, lessened the
cravings of hunger. Even more remark
able examples of prolonged abstinence
might be given. Persons, indeed, have
been found in coal pits and mines, and In
other situations where there was not a
mouthful of food, but where water was
to be had, as long as six weeks after
their seclusiOn, still alive, though of
course in a very feeble state; and a small
daily allowance of food has supported life
longer even than that, as in some cases
of shipwreck and other accidents at sea.
BeraTd quotes the example of convict
who died of starvation after sixty-three
days, but in this case water was taken.
Cases Of alleged fasting longer than this
are certainly in most cases due to i'm
posture. The insane appear to bear
fasting better than those in their sober
senses. and in some morbid conditions OF
the body nouri-hment may certainly be
done without for surprising length of
time. Animals have an advantage over
man, 20 tar - living without food Is
concerned Ruil-snakes exist many
months without eating anything, and
retain ali tn er vjgOr and fierceness; and
many creatures voluntarily spend tour,
FIVE or six months il every year without
eating or drinking. The tortoise, bear,
dormOuse, and other animals retire at
their seasons to their respective cells and
hide tkemselves--sOmei in caveTps o. rocks
and ruins, others dig holes underground,
while some get into woods and lay them

Medical Science In serrIa.

Doctors do not flourish In Servia. Up
to a very recent date their place was sup
piled by q wise women" called &c babas."
These " babas profess to have an intu-
tive knowledge Of medical plants; but
that intelligent being, the Servian peas
ant, placed much less trust N their med
icaI man than in their magical skill.
Their performance in this line was re-
markable, and their rustic patients had
every faith in it. The most commonly
fatal diseases in Seryia are consumption
and congestion of the lungs. The staple
remedy for the latter ailment Is TO ad-
minister three apples grown on the same
bough If, after eating these apples,
which are supposed to have some myste-
rious connection with the Trinity, the pa
tient feels no better, then, but not till
then, the wise woman adopts more vieor-
GUS measures. The unfortunate malade
is laid on the ground on his stomach; the
wise woman scatters salt over him, and
marches round him, mumbliug cabaiistic
words. This seems 10 be q kind of exor-
cism. and would indicate belief that the
illness is caused by witchcraft, OF demo
niacal possession,

think that this wantOn destruction of
property caused me any very painful
feelings; it brought its own punishment
with it, for these unreasoning brutes
might have occupied the comfortable
dwellings of their old tyrants with no
one to say them nay; and the soldier,
even of the most civilized people, is
inclined to '' loot" when the fighting is
over. But it was sickeniDg to gaze upon
