Shadraeh. Meshnch and Abednero.

Some persons have doubted whether
the Babylonians were guilty of such Eek
treme cruelty" as to cast persons alive
into a burning, fiery furnace, as in the
case of Shadrach, MeshaCh and Abedne-
go, mentioned by Daniel iii. 26.) They
are strangely fOrgetful of innumerable
fiery martyrdOms, very much more slow
in their torture, and therefore more cru
el, than the seven-times heated furnace
of Babylon. H. T. Talbot has discover
ed ample proof in the Assyrian writings
that both this punishment, and that Of
casting men alive into a den of lions, as
Daniel was treated, were in common use
in Babylon during the reign of Assurba-
nipal, who preceded NebuChadneZzar on
the throne by less than twenty years.
Saulmugina, the younger brother Of As
surbinipal, having risen in rebellion
against his sovereign, and having failed
IN the attempt, was not spared by his
angry brother. The following brief
record is sufficient TO tell its own tale:
"Aly rebellious brother, Saulmugina, who
made war with me, was cast into a burn
ing, fiery furnace" Many of Saulmu-
gina's adherents were treated in the
same manner, and the remainder were
otherwise disposed Of in the following
way, as Assurbanipal+ very pithily SAYS
'The rest of the people 1 threw alive
among bulls and lions, as my grandfath-
er, Sennacherib, used TO act and I, fol-
lowing his example, have thus treated
these rebellious men," Truly may we
exclaim with the Psalmist, 'The dark
places Of the earth are full Of the habita-
tions Of Cruelty."-L0ndon Quarterly Re
pielr.

Symptoms of DiseasedLiver.

DAN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach IS affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are Coshve, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation IN the back part There is
generally a considerable loss Of mem
Ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains Of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he IS satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where. few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body, |

The memory Of lOstlOye TO be pain,

And strgw the flowers Of old on passion s grave

With sweetest touch bestow their fond caresslng,
And have my lips in dreamful undert0ne
Pour forth upon those hands real blessing.
To feel IN tender frances, self deceIving
Her kisses rain upon my upturned brow,
And stretch my arms, my own deceit believing
To seize the Then and hold its treasures Now.
To know that In such hours, the hest returning

Stirs in my heart, and sanctiies its yearning
To cheat withered life that dreams Of youth.
And so rs when in sleep our dead appearing

And rise in prayer and faith beyond this seeming
To seek the eternal love with tireless wing.

The total number of strikes in Eng
land in 1877 was 191. If all the people
who engaged in them were to work un-
interruptedly for the next ten years, and
at the advance for which they struck, it
would not recOup them all they had lost
during the twelve months of 1877. In
France strikes are avoided by the C0nseI
des PrUdh0mHes, a tribunal which takes
cOgnizance Of disputes between employ
ers and labOrers respecting wages. It
inquiries into the questions at issue, the
state Of trade, the cost of living, etc. It
seeks to do justice TO both parties, and
its decisions are generally satisfactory.

stood upon the hills, when heavens high arch
Was glorious with the suns returning march,
And woods were frightened, and soft gales
Went forth 10 kiss the sun clad wales. -
The clouds were far beneath me; bathed in light
And, in their fading glory shone
Like hosts in battle Overthrown.
The veil Of cloud was lifted and below
Glowed the rich valley, and the rivers flow
Was darkened by the forests shade, ,s--,
Or glistened in the white cascade; -
When upward, in the mellow blush OF day,
The noisy bittern wheeled his noisy way.

South Carolina is inclined to abolish
her penitentiary system, and to lease the
cOnYicts to persons or corporations who
will provide quarters and guards. This
mode has already been adopted in GeOr-
gia and other States of the South. In
Georgia the companies hiring conviCts
pay S1I a year for each convict, and bear
the whole expense Of guards. Eleven
hundred COnvicts are employed on these
terms on farms, on railroads, and in
mines. Ex-Governor Brown and other
contractors have entered into q bond to
pay to the State of Georgia S5OO,OOO in
annual installments Of S25,OOO, for the
use of all cOnvicts for twenty years from
April, 1879.

IT NEVER COME.-We never have a
tomorrow; it is simply a world Of pro
pheCies. 1t has been said that the two
great pleasures of living are in having
something to love and something to
hope for, and the last Of these is ever be
fore us in the promise Of tomorrow
Tomorrow we may not know, and It Is
well that it is thus ordained to be, for
beyond the invisible veil that conceals
alike its coming joys and sorrOws, our
fancy may revel OnIy in what is beauti-
ful and fair, nor see the gloom or shadow
Of coming trials and Werldly Affections,
that, could We anticipate as fixed reali-
ties that were certain to come, would
mar all our peace and enjoyment Of the
present. It is well for US that We cannot
withdraw the veil which hides our fu-
ture.

HOME SONG.

Stay stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Housekeeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full Of trouble and full or care:
To stay at home is best.
Weary and hOmesick and distressed
They wander east, they wander west,
And are bafied and beaten and blown about
By she winds Of the wilderness Of doubt;
To stay at home Is best.
Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest:
Der all that hutter their wings and fly
A hawk is lowering in the sky.
To stay at home is best.

How Stanley Made His Way,

Mr.. Henry Stanley is reported as say
ing that the first line he ever wrote as
a journalist was an account of naval
engagement that he witnessed from the
masthead-one of the earlier ones of the
war. He sent it to the Herald. 1t was
accepted, published, and literally paid
for, and Stanley received a fattering let
ter from Mr.. Bennett, as Stanley's was
he only account. This so fired the boys
ambition that he pplied himself to read
ing and study as vigorously as he could,
and the formation of the resolution to
travel and write. An acquaintance says
Of him in the Cincinnati COmmercidL: !:
'His powers of labor were immense, and
he never tired nor lost his temper. I
have known him, after riding all day in
the ambulance, to remain up the entire
night, wrapped in an OYercoat and blank
ct, and on his knees, by the aid Of a tai
low candle, write, the live-long night,
several letters to different papers, vet on
the same subject, changing language and
ideas, so as to be ready for the courier
who started at break of day, and then
trust to the iolting of the ambulance for
his mods of Tepose, on the narrow roads
to repeat the operation if he could Sc
cure any news or smelt a chance for
another letter"

AFiIter to Purify Air.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Academy Of Useful Arts, attention was
called to a simple method of fiItering the
air Of an apartment. The object is to
free the air from dust, excessive damp
ness, and, possibly, from the germs Of
malaria. The cOntrivauCe consists es-
sentially of a fibrous woven fabric,
strengthened by brass wire. 1t is to be
applied to windows and ventilators, and
may be of service on railway cars to ex-
clude dust. Il has the merits of check
ing drafts while admittingair. Its gen.
eraI use might tend to prevent the spread
of malarial diseases, and modify the
dangers that dirty streets occasion to the
health Of city residents.
