Let Joy Beget Joy.
BY KATE NJ. SHERWOOD.

By the thrill and the trIll and the twitter,
By the gladness of each happy thing,
BY the blush and the bloom and the glitter,
know thou art welcome, o Spring!
What voice from the North-land came over
Thy dreams in magnolia groves,
What kiss from diSconsolate rover
To mind thee of far-away loves?
What spell flung the lotus around thee,
What Pamian wines did they bring,
What chapletS of roses have bound thee,
To make thee forget US, Spring?
Let joy beget joy! 1t is idle
To waste n regret for the lost
Is the sun but a courSer to bride?
Must pleasure be judged by its cost?
Enough that the blossoms are blowing,
That breezeS come sweet from the South,
That the light-footed maiden is throwing
Her kisges from rosy red mouth
That the heart feels tingle of gladness,
And hearkens at last unto song,
Though bowed with the burden of sadness,
And deep in the shadows so Ion G.

SAFE AND SURE.

Mr.. H. r. Stevens:-
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasions of friend,
I consented TO try it. At the time l was suffer-
ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful! strengthening and cura-
tive properties seemed 10 affect my debilitated
sustem from the first dose; and under its per-
sistent use rapidly recovered, gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement, as being safe, sure,
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system tosnew life and
energy. VegetIne is the only medicine use !;
and as long as 1 live never expect to find
better. Yours truly, w. H. CLARK,

Hearts OverwOrked.

Chambers Journal, ina recent issue,
says:
No organ in the body is 50 liable to
be oyerWorked as the heart. When
every other part Of the body sleeps, it
keeps on its perpetual motion. Every
increased effort or action demands
from the heart more force. A man
runs 70 catch a train and his heart
beats audibly. He drinks wine, and
his blood rushes through its reservoir
faster than ever was intended by ma
ture. His pulse rises after each course
at dinner. A telegram arrives, and
his heart knocks at his side. And
when any one Of these excitement"
il over, he is conscious Of a CORE
spondent depression "a sinking or
emptiness, as it is called. The healthy
action Of all the members ofour frame
depends upon the supply Of blood re-
ceiyed from this entral fountain.
When the hearts action is arrested,
the stomach, which requires from it a
large supply Of blood, becomes enfee-
bled. The brain, also waiting for the
blood, is inactive. The heart is a very
willing member, but if it be made to
fetch and carry incessantly-if it be

Some of the Rich and Heightened
Churches of New York.

Like anything in New York where
fashion rules, aristocratic worship has
its fitting abode. Setting aside Trim
ity and Grace, the aristocracy worship
between Twenty-third and Fifty
seventh streets, and cover the space
between Fourth and Sixth avenues.
In this space are crowded the popular
houses Of worship Of the leading de-
nominations. When the aristocracy
move the churches move. As the pri-
vate residences become more sumptu-
Gus so do the churches. With the in
crease Of wealth, style and elegance,
the churches have their share. The
parsonages of DR.. Dix, DR.. Vincent,
the rectory of Grace and the Fifth
Avenue Baptist churches, are not ex-
ceeded in location and elegance by any
private residence in New York.
DR.. John Halls church IS elegantly
located. The teams that fill the
streets on the three sides Of the
church indicate the wealth Of the peO-
pie. Some Of the turn-Outs zre regal
Many of the drivers are In livery, with
knee-breeches and large white neck

The Agony OfTifIe.

European Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer
I was amused a few days ago by see
ing the lavish way in which many Of
the French, italian and Spanish news
papers pile on the agony Of titles to
the discomfort of some Of our already
distinguished citizens, For example
."Sir John Russell and General Young,
with Lady Bright, were accompanied
by General and Mrs. Grant en- route
from Bordeaux to Spain"
1t is a well-known fact that the
French press make more astonishing
blunders with English titles than the
British mind can comprehend but
what al exceed this over Mr.. John
Russell Young, an editorial confrere
and simple citizen, being turned at
one time into two a"ristocratic men,
and they a baronet and a general [
assume the lady to be Mr.. Young's
sister-in-law, who is all in nature
what these papers give in name. l
know there is no such a person as Sir
John Russell in existence, and l am
in doubt if there is a General Young
on this side of the Atlantic. Hence
the error is more ridiculous.
But the modest photographer of
General Grant will not vince under
this quality of dignity. We shall have
his trenehant epistles to the New York
Herald all the same, and, if anything,
more Casarlike. And, if rumor be
true, we shall have them only in the
Herald, as | learn the author is to
copyright them, or has been com
manded to do so by the proprietor of
that progressive paper. That means
that Sir John Russell and General
Young" intend to bring out a book
| must remark here that my igno-
rance in regard to the European ova-
ton so generously and properly given
General Grant has induced me to be-
lieye that these oyations were to be
participated in, indirectly even, by the
United States Of America as regards
an president. Not a bit Of it
Indeed, the friends Of the general
here ignore the United States in this

no honors from crowned and un.
crowned dignitaries go to ye, gooG

to think so. The international favor.

of those competitive examinations
which have now become so exigent,
high pressure is employed. Hence
young persons are stimulated to over
work by rewards and punishments.
The sight Of a clever boy who is being
trained for competition is truly a sad
one. The precocious, coached-up
children are never well. Their men
tai excitement keeps up q finish,
which, like the excitement caused in
strong drink in older children, looks
like health, but has no relation to it;
in q word, the intemperance Of educa-
ton is ove~r-straining and breaking
their young hearts. If in the school
room some hearts are broken from
mental strain, in the playground and
in the gymnasium others suceumb TO
physical strain. 1t is no object Of
mine, says DIR. Richardson, TO under
rate the value Of physical exercise for
the young; but | can scarcely Overrate
the dangers ofthose fierce competitive
exercises which the world in general
seems determined TO applaud. l had
the opportunity once in my life Of
living near a great trainer, himself be-
ing a champion rover. He was a
patient Of mine, suffering from
the very form Of induced heart
disease Of which l am now
speaking, and he gave me ample
means of studying the conditions Of
many Of those whom he trained both
for running and rowing. | found 90
%casion, certainly, to admire the
physique to which his trained men
were brought; the strength of muscle
they attained; the force of their heart,
but the admiration was qualified by
the stern fact Of the results But, in
deed, it is not by overwork so much as
by worry and anxiety that our hearts
are disorganized. 'Laborious mental
exercise is healthy, unless it be made
anxious by necessary or unnecessary
difficulties. Regular mental labor is
best carried on by introducing into it
some variety Business and profess
sional men wear out their hearts by
acquiring habits Of express-train haste
which a little attention to method
would render unnecessary"

A CambIing TneIdenf.

l once found myself, says the Lon
don Truth, on a steamer going down
the Alabama river. These steamers
have on the saloon deck a very long
and at one end Of the cabin a
bar where liquor and cards are sold.
One evening, for the voyage occupied
several days, a passenger asked me
whether | would play at whist; l as

up. | soon perceived that | and a
decent-looking old man, who was one
of the players, were being victimized
by the two others, but / played quietly

cabin, had gone to bed then my bro

ed" Upjumped the gamblers and
asked me whether wished to insult
them. The. captain, a sturdy looking
man, was now by mys side, 80 ]
handed him the cards and requested
him to examine them. They were
marked in the mandatory, the stars
on the backs Of each particular color
being made either higher or lower al
the corners. The gamblers swore that
they knew nothing oft andhad bought

several nights past the grounds have
been under the strictest surveillance,
but, strange to say, no one has been
able to make a capture of the Nocturnal
visitor. Last evening a partyof young
men made an exploration Of the
grounds, but their search was unsuc-
cessful. The apparition had vanished,
and it is a question whether it will
again be seen.
DANGEROUS KIND OF JOKING.
Since the matter has become public
it will be decidedly unsafe for any per-
son caught in the act of frightening
the public, Several officers claim to
have investigated the matter, and say
they have obtained a clue of the ghosts
identity, and that it is a disreputable
woman well known to the police de-
partment. This suspicion may prove
correct, from the fact that the place
has long been the resort of bad char
scters. Others who claim to have seen
the so-called ghost say it is a man, but
can give no ineligible account of its
appearance other than it is rObed in
white, and easily eludes capture.
Many, again, think the sensation is
caused by youngmen who keenly enjoy
the excitement arising therefrom, but
the real offender will doubtless remain
unknown unless through some agency
his or her capture should be effected.

This was enough; the engines were
