The two young officers, who had cemented
their friendship anew during the period of
illness, here took each others hands and gazed
long and silently into each Others face.
Colonel 4 turned away to hide his
emotions for being really possessed of n
kindly disposition he began to regret the
stern and unbending part he had been called
upon to perform. Brushing the signs of his
weakness from his eyes, he turned once
more towards the young officer and said

Life without Love.
Home and Farm.l

We sometimes meet with men who seem
TO think that any indulgence in an affection
ate feeling is a weakness. They will return
from journey and greet their families with
distant dignity, and move among their
children with the cold and lofty splendor
of an iceberg surrounded by its broken frag-
ments. There is hardly more unnatural
sight on earth than one of those families
without heart. A father had better extin-
guish boys eyes than take away his heart.
Who that has experienced the joys of friend
ship. and values sympathy and affection,
would not rather lose all that is beaut tul in
natures scenery, than be robbed of the
hidden treasures of his heart? Cherish then
your hearts best affections. Indulge In the
warm and gushing emotions of fillal, paren-
tai and fraternal love.

Sad Indeed.

The streets of almost any large city at
night present Q spectacle more saddening,
more pitiful, more fearful than any picture
to be found in Dante's Inferno. Beneath
the gaslamp. from dark until long after
midnight, wander increasingly thousands of
young girls Their eyes are fixed. They
stalk like shadows. There is no merriment
in their gait; no JOY, no peace, no happiness
in their look. However well dressed, 1T is
the same whited sepulchre. For mile after
mile these sad specters hurry along. At each
side street they carry off their victims.
Who are these desolate ones that fill the
city with their ceaseless tramp? Do they
come forth at night because they care not
for the society of their fathers or
or mothers or sisters ? Alas, no.
These have no homes. They
are alone in great world too busy
to notice them or their misfortunes With
out knoledge of the world, they are driven
into the midst of its vices, and forced to
earn a living by the only means that is
within their power. They know not the
horrible abyss of shame, the amplitude OF
suffering, the depth of the distress to which
that first step leads, and so having begun,
they are carried on by the swift current of
crime about them. Do they ever seek to
escape? They turn blindly for the means,
but on every hand they seem shut in by a
high wall separating from the respectable
world. There is no recourse, and So year
after year, they fall lower and lower and
their despair grows deeper, until death takes
them for his own, and their poor bones are
laid away in the potters' field.

attractive. The same may be said of the
large cities OF this country. While few
preachers draw here, the majority appeal to
very slender congregations, which appear to
be diminishing rather than increasing all
over the country Persons who feel a deep
interest In the cause of orthodoxy, and who
consider attendance upon church an evidence
OF righteousness and morality, are sorely

respecting religion, and anxious to discover
some M ans of instituting a thorough re-

Ri. Rev. Bishop Hendricken of Providence
gave his people Sunday some wholesale
advice concerning savings banks Heshowed
that the depositors ssffer mainly in sense.
less run upon the savings banks which
might, however, cripple the best institutions
He also called attention to the fact that
Catholic churches in the city are large
borrowers of the savings banks and a sum
mary calling in of those loans would cause
serious embarrassment The Catholic clergy
OF New England, by their action upon this
SUBJECT, have done much to prevent panic
and foolish fears from getting control of the
community.
From the first entrance into the ministry
Latlmer was esteemed a pestilent fellow
they called him a ''seditious fellown-bv
unjust persons in authority; and 10 sucn
men he was ever. indeed, highly trouble
some. At this early period his preaching
was 50 effective that it was even tben said of
1t, None except the stiff necked and uncir-
cumcised ever went away from il without
being affected with high detestation of sim
and moved to all eodliness and virtue" An
instance is related OF his early plainneSs of
speech which is interesting as an illustration
OF bis fearless Independence, and also be-
cause 1t attracted the attention of Cardinal
Wolsey 10 him, and directly led TO his
future advancement He was preaching
before the university of Cambridge on a
certain occasion, when the Bishop of
Ely came into the church, curious 10
hear the young preacher. The bishops
entrance caused some stir, and Latlmer
paused TIL the prelate was seated and the
commotion had subsided. When be recon-
menced he entirely changed the subject of
his sermon, and instead of pursuing his
original theme began TO draw an ideal picture
of what a bishop ought to be, the features of
which were strikingly unlike those of his
episcopal auditor. The bishop indignantly
complained to Wolsey, who sent for Latimer
and inquired what be had said Laiimer
frankly repeated the substance of his sermon,
whereupon other conversation followed,
which showed Wolsey very clearly the ma
ture of the man with whom he was speaking,
and instead of responding to the bishops
accusations by silencing the audacious
preacher, he gave HIM license to preach in
any church in England, coupling ii with the
remark IF the bishop of Ely can not abide
such doctrine as you have repeated you shall
preach IL 10 his beard, let him say what he
will

Corn Fed Pork.

Correspondence Country GentlemanJ
The opinion is quite general, if not univer-
sal, that corn fed pork is harder contsins
more nutriment, and shrinks less in the spot
and in the frying pans than pork fed on milk.
slops. or partly on flesh, as happens where
swine are kept and fed in slaughter Yards,
and the food of which is more or less the
offal of slaughtered animals Nevertheless
tie opinion is almost wholly an erroneous
one, as we shall try 10 show. Granted that
under temperature so low that
lard remains firm and stiff corn
fed pork is frmer than pork fed
on milk, slops or flesh, but this firmness
depends more on the relatively large amount
of stearine than of oleipe in the composition
OF the fatty matter of corn-fed pork; but it
is firmness which is wholly lost at high
temperature, like that of summer heat, or
the average of tropical weather. Where
pork is made partly on milk slops or similar
food, the oleine of that fat exceeds in guam
tity the stearine, and while the meat so
made may at ordinary temperature appear
soft and tiabby, it really contains more nu-
tr1ment-that is, more albuminous matter
and will shrink less in cooking than corn
fed pork. The cell tissues which envelop the
fatty matter are very thin and light,
and consequently tender, and when
heat is applied, either by boiling
or frying, cells burst, the lard escapes
and the fieshy portion sinks 10 almost moth
ing. And this happens because corn is very
deficient TO the substances which make cell
tissue that IS, in albuminous matter. On
the contrary, milk and slop are very rich in
albuminous matter and flesh is almost
wholly composed of it, and consequently
swine fed and fatened on these substances
have cell tissues largely developed and
where the lard escapes in cooking there is a
much larger portion of solid meat left. In
the old country where swine are raised and
fattened on peas and harley and the like,
and where such thing exclusive corn
diet is almost unknown, cooks
make a great account of Harding
that is, cutting the iatty part of the pork
into long strips and sewing them into certain
meats and game birds previous to cooking,
for the purpose OF increasing their flavor and
juices. With ordinary Harding in the
United States is much restricted or gone out
OF fashion. In the case of foreign pork, its
abundance and strength of cell tissues make
it suitable for the operation; in the other
the delicacy and tenderness of the substances
renders it quite unfit for that purpose.
As for illustration of bow particular
kinds of food affect adiposs and cell
tissues. il may he stated that the meat of hogs
faitened on beechnuts and mast generally,
so far the fat is concerned, il semi taos
parent, and a slaughtered hog hung by the
heels will drip lard oil from the snout at an
ordinary tempe nature. In candle burning
days the farmers and dwellers In the middle
states learned that the tallow OF grass fatted
beeves would make candles which would not
run in midsummer; but the tallow of corn
fatted cattle required to be hardened by the
addition of alum, rosin or some other sub
stance.

ALONG JOURNEY.

1--WE sail to-day" said the captain gay,
AS he stepped on board the boat that lay
So high and dry. '.Come now, be spry;
Well land at Jerusalem by and by!'
Away they sailed, and each craft they hailed
While down in the cabin they bailed and
bailed;
For the sea was rough, and they had to luff
And tack, till the captain cried out Enough!
They stopped at Peru, this jolly crew,
And went to Paris and TimbuctcO;
And after awhile they found the Nile,
And watched the sports OF the crocodile.
They called on the Shah. and the mighty
Gar,
And on all the crowned heads near and far,
Shook hands with the Cid-they really did,
And lunched on top of the pyramid!
To Afric's strand, or northern land,
They steer as the captain gives command;
And fly fast that the slender mast
Goes quivering, shivering in the blast!
Then on to the ground with 8 sudden bound,
Leaps Jack-'twas "a mercy he WASH Z drown
edf
The sail is furled, the anchor hurled,
"We've been," cry the children, "all round
the worlds"
By billows tossed, by tempests crossed,
Yet never a soul on board was lost!
Though the boat be "a sieve, do not grieve,
They sail on the ocean of 'make-Delieve-"

TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much TO bear;
A chfld's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours SO
tight;
You almost are too tired TO play tonight.
But it is blessednessi A year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless, ana 700 SLOW
To catch the sunshine till il slips away
And now It seems S1rpaSsing strange 10 me
Thsst, while bore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderiy
The little child that brought me only g0od.
And II some night when you sit down to rest
lOu rniss this elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, oarling head from OF your
breast,
This iisping tongue that chatters constant
II from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
II the White feet into their grave had triPped,
/ co9Id not blame you for your heariache
then.
I w0ader SO that mothers ever fret
At little children clingng 10 their gown;
Or that the footprints when the days are wet
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
IfIcould find little muddy boot
or cap or jacket on my chamber noor;
II could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once more
IF could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than 1.
But, ah, the dainty pill ow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
Ny singing bIrdling from its nest is flown
Dhe little boy 1 used To kiss is dead.
