Death Rate i'm Various Occupations.

Nobody doubts that the occupation of an
individual has much to do with his general
health and with his chances of death. Sta
tistics prove that the death rate is lowest
among scientists and professional men-not
physicians then follow Protestant clergy
men, engineers, farmers and laborers next
carpenters, machinists, and workers in iron
then come schoolmasters, tobacconists, phys
icians, and finally the clergy of the Roman
Catholic church, among whom the mortality
is much greater than among the Protestant
clergy and the other professions named. Next
we have druggists and butchers, then miners
and glass manufacturers, plumbers and cop
persmiths, railway employees and dock labor
ers, and last of all carmen, cabmen, horse
keepers, and lnkeepers, among whom the
mortality is greatest, and much more than
double that of the first mentioned occupation
The deduction which may be drawn from
these facts are very instructive and practically
useful; they prove that the quiet pursuits of
science tend to prolong life as we'll as out
door labor. provided it is not on railways or
among shipping or horses; that to work in
iron is more wholesome than to work in lead
or copper, as might be expected, while the
confined labor of schoolmaster is as iniuri-
.ous as the state of celibacy of the Roman
Catholic priest; lastly, the inkeepers, being
most exposed to the temptation of intemper-
ance, have the least chance for long life,
as we'll as those with whom they habitually
keep company. y.-M0nufactwrer and Builder.

Time for Economy.

A man from the lower walks of life en-.
tered Il drug store yesterday and inquired the
price OF All ounce of arsenic. Being in.
formed. he drew paper from his pocket,
consulted some figures, and said:
''Fhat's two cents more than, they asked
me in Chicago"
"Well, those are my lowest figures" re-
piled the druggist.
The man took out a stub of Il pencil, fig.
nred for three or four minutes, and sagely
observed: ~.--=-e-~-a-~--~
ITS time to practice economy, and might
~ we'll begin here Two cents Oh an ounce
is thirty on pound. Thirty-two cents
a pound is $32 on hundred weight, or &c.
400 on q ton. Great heavens! but do you
think would recklessly throw away six
thousand four hundred dollars"
The druggist could make no reply, and the
man looked terribly indignant as he went out

AtheiAul.

Atheism has been aptly called. moral
plague" Jeremy Taylor characterizes it as
''the result of ignorance and pride; of strong
sense and feeble reasons; of good eating and
i'll living. 1t is Che says the plague of
society, the corrupter of manners and the
underminer of property. Hare says: There
is no being eloquent for atheism. In that
exhausted receiver the mind cannot use its
wings-the clearest proof that it is out of its
element" Bacon says: "God never wrought
miracles to convince atheisnl because His
ordinary works convince it," 'Whoever
considers the study of anatomy" Herbert, 7pf
Cherbur, observes, Il believe will never be
an atheist; the frame of mans body and the
conference of his parts being so strange and
paradoxicai, that hold it to be the greatest
miracle of nature" Bacon held that ''athe-
ism is rather in the life than in the heart of
man." DIR. Bentley contended that mo
atheist, as such, can be true friend, an
affectionate relation, or loyal subject" and
DIR. Young expressed the opinion that ''by
night an atheist half believes God" 1t is
questionable whether any one has ever been
confirmed atheist

An Authoritative Description Of Hclu.

The following description of the place of
eternal torment, by Rev. j. s. Furnis, G. S.
r. r., was published by authority in Eng

I'VE know how far it is to the middle Of
the earth; it is just 1000 miles so if hell is
in the middle OF the earth it is 4, OOO miles to
the horrible prison of hell Down in this
is terrible noise Listen to the tremendous,
the horrible uproar of millions and millions
of tormented creatures, mad with the fury of
hell! Oh the screams of fear, the groans
of horror, the yells Of rage, the cries OF pain.
the shouts of agony, the shrieks of despair,
from millions Oh millions! There you hear
them roaring like lions, Kissing like serpents,
bowling like dogs, and wailing like dragons.
There you hear the gnashlng OF teeth, and
the fearful blasphemies of the devils. Above
all you hear the roar of the thunders Of Gods
anger, which shakes hell to its foundations.
But the1e is another sound. There is in hell
sound like that of many waters. 1t is as if
all the rivers and oceans of the world were
pouring themselves with great splash down
on the floors of hell. 1t is then really the
sound of waters? 1t is. Are the rivers and
the oceans of the earth pouring themselves
into hell? No. What is it, then? 1t is the

millions of eyes. They cry for ever and
ever. They cry because the sulphurous smoke
torments their eyes. They cry because they
are in darkness. They cry because they have
lost the beautiful heaven. They cry because
the sharp fire burns them. The
roof is red hot; the walls are red hot; the
floor is like thick sheet of red hot iron.
See, on the middle Of that red hot iron floor
stands a girl. She looks about sixteen years
of age. She has neither shoes nor stockings
on her feet The door of this room has never
been opened since she first set her foot on
this red hot floor. Now she sees the door
open. She rushes forward. She has gone
down upon her knees upon the red hot floor.
Listen, she speaks; she says 4 have been
standing with my bare feet on this red hot
floor for years. Day and night my only
standing place has been this red hot floor.
Sleep never came on me for moment, that l
might forget this horrible burning floor. Look
at my burnt and bleeding feet Let me go
off this burning floor for moment-only for
a short moment Oh! that in this endless
eternity of years, might forget the pain only
for one single moment The devil answers
her question. DO you ask for a moment
for one moment to forget your pain? No,
not for one single mement during the never
ending eternity of years shall you ever leave
this red hot floor.

The Triplets Lincoln Named.

There are at present residing in South
Starksboro, Addison County, triplets, sons
of Leonard Haskins, born May Path, 1851,
and named by President Lincoln. They
have in their possession letter from the
hand Of the martyr President, and the names
given were Abraham Lincoln, Gideon Wells
and Simon Cameron. They are the children
of American parents (who are still living) of
limited circumstances, have led very retired
life, are robust. intelligent and moral, and
have always been total abstaincrs from liquor
and profanity. There is an almost perfect
resemblance between the two, who are light
-complexi0ned, while the other is striking

A BONANZA QUEEN.
Mrs, Bells $780, 900 Of Gltttering Gems
in a Maiden Lane FIRMS Vaults.
(From the New Sun. March Sth.

(ErOm the New Sun. March Sth.
A few days ago the Sun printed al account
taken from the San Francisco Chronicle, of
the regal wardrobe prepared by Worth, of
Paris, Tor Il bonanza queen OF the Pacific
coast, who is about to visit Europe tor an ex-
tended tour The wardrobe is the finest
owned by any lazy on the American conli-
nent, and cost fabulous sum OF money
The lady referred to is Mrs. +. H Bell, of
San Francisco. She is q native OF Boston,
about ty-eight years OF age, and the wife
OF MIR. Bell, one of the five directors of the
Bank Of California. He is also largely inter-
ested in silver mines with Flood, O. Brien,
Mackey, and others, and Is said to have an
income of $50, 900 week. Mrs. Bell is now
at the Hoffman House in this city, and will
start for Europe about the first of April. She
appeared at the Charity ball, flashing with
diamonds from the crown OF her head to the
buckles on her shoes, and created an immense
sensation. Few knew who she was, and
fewer still the value of the gems she dis
played Her Jewels are now in the vaults of
Maiden Lane jewelry firm for safe keep
ing, and to undergo some alterations before
her departure for the Old World. A reporter
was permitted an inspection Of this glittering
array yesterday. The sight was dazzling. 1t
is the largest and most costly collection
owned by any one lady in the United States.
In this superb collection are such trihes as
two solitaire diamond eardrops, weighing
eleven and half carats each, which cost
$50, 900; chatelaine watch set in gold with
turquoise, diamonds and rubies four magni-
ficent diamond and SAPPHIRE lings; and two
large diamond star shoe buckles to match the
necklace. The total value of this fortune in
jewels is $250,0OO 1t is to be expected that
this product of the American bonanza era
will make sensation when she appears not
alone among the effete monarchies of the
other side, but in the English and French
capitals as we'll. 1t is understood that she
will endeavor to make life endurable abroad
by the aid of such accessories as 100000
letter of credit, maids, nurses, and so on.

THE FORTY ACRE FARM.
BY JOHN b, YATES.


Pm thlnkin'. wife. of neighbor Jones, that
man with stalwart arm
He lives in peace and plenty on forty
acre farm;
While men are all around us, with hands
and hearts asOre,
Who own two hundred acres and still are
wanting more.
His is a pretty little farm, pretty little
house;
He has loving wife within, as quiet as a
mouse;
His children play around the door, their
fathers life to charm,
Looking neat and tidy as the tidy little farm
No weeds are in the cornfelds, no thistles
in the oats,
The horses show good keeping by their
fine and glossy coats;
The cows within the meadow, resting
meath the beechen shade,
Learn all the gentle manners of the
gentle milking maid.
Within the field, on Saturday, he leaves
no Graded grain
To be gathered on the morrow, for fear of
coming rain;
He keeps the Sabbath holy, his children
learn his ways;
And plenty fills his barn and bin, after the
harvest dOvs-
de neve: say u lawsuit to take him to the
town.
For the very simple reason there is no
line fence down,
The bar-room in the village does not have |
for him charm;
l can always find my neighbor on his
forty acre farm.
His acres are SO very few, he plows them
very deep;
TITS his own hands that turn the sod-'tis |
his own hands that reap;
He has place for everything, and things |
are in their place;
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, con-
tentment in his face.
May we not learn lesson, from prudent
neighbor Jones,
And not, for what we havn't got, give |
vent to signs and means?
The. rich faint always happy, nor free /
from life's alarms.
But blest are they who live content.
though small NAV be their farms.
