A Warming to Boys.

A certain doctor, struck with the large
number of boys under fifteen years of age
whom he observed smoking, was led to in
quire into the effect the habit had upon he
general health. He took for his purpose
thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to fifteen,
and carefully examined them. In twenty
seven of them he discovered injurious traces
of the habit. In twenty-five there were
disorders of the circulation and digestion
palpitation of the heart, and a more or less
marked taste for drink In twelve there
vas frequent bleeding of the nose; they had
disturbed sleep; and twelve had slight
liberation of the mucous membrane Of the
mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from
the use of tobacco for some days. The
1octor treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect until the smoking was dis.

Killed by an Exploding Beer Bar.
Philadelphia LEDGER


The brewery of Frederick Feils, No. 2,205
North Sixth street, was yesterday after
noon the scene OF an accident almost with
out precedent in this city. The brewery,
which extends eastward from Sixth street
to Farhill street, is an extensive structure,
employing large number of hands. About
O'Clock John Umrine, aged forty yfive
years, a single man, who resided in Mr..
Feils' house, was employed in Fairhill
street in burning out the bung-holes of
empty beer hogsheads, which had been
coated on the inside with resin, and, for
the purpose of heating his irons had built a
fire in the street. He had burned several
hogsheads, and was in the act of piercing
another, when the red-hot iron passing
through the wood caused an explosion Of
confined gas, and the hogshead burst into
pieces, with report like the discharge of a
cannon. Umrine was blown entirely across
the street. falling into the fire on the west
side from which he was dragged by his
fell ow-workmen. but not until his clothing
had been partially burned. He was car
red into the brewery, but died in few
minutes, having been struck on the side of
his head by one of the heavy slaves of the
hogshead, causing fracture of the skull.

[Omaha (Neb.) Republican,


Our highly esteemed friend, Rev. A. F.
Sheriff., pastor of the Congregational
Church, is not adverse to cracking an inno-
cent joke in the presence of his congrega-
ton, as lie did on Sunday last. In aHnounc-
ing the cantata for the following evening,
ana the object to which the proceeds would
be applied, he said that he thought it no
more than Just that the net proceeds should
be appropriated to him, to recompsgse him
for the arduous and extra household duties
he had been called upon to perform in the
last sixty days. Those who knew how con-
antly Mrs Sheriff. has applied herself to
the successful production of the cantata,
and who were informed that even in cler-
gymans family servants are not always to
be depended upon, saw the Joke and spailed.
Mrs. Sheriff., from her seat in.the'choiI
gallery, back of the pulpit, and facing the
smilingcongregation. could not help hiding
her face in her hands in confusion.

Truth and FalsehOOd
BIZ SADIE b. CANNON

From the harbor of life 1 saw two barques
Set toward Eternity's shore,
The breeze sprang up and filled their sails,
And onward they uerrily bore.
At the helm of one was the pilot, "1rulh'
And he steered with a steady hand
Toward the haven of peace which ne hopeo ~ NN
In the PARKWAY, shadowy land.
But the lord and king of the other ship
Was "Falsehood,r dark and deep;
For awhile before the favoring breeze
His vessel did quietly sweep.
But storms arose ere many days,
The sea into fury was dashed,
And across the frownins inky sky
The zizzag lghtnings flashed.
And " FaIsehood's sails were split and rent
AS he tried the storm to flee,
But the waves were strong and the ship went down
Meath the hungry surging sea.
But the barque of Truth Kept on its way,
Up-borne on the pillows crest;
1t braved the storm and anchored at last
In Eternity's haven of rest!

With the ardor of his youth?
Be hushed, oh! doubtful questions!
And anxious heart be still!

Climb the crest of yOnder hill.

With the sweet stars bright above,

The story of his love.

And promised through glad tears,
A faith that has known no wavering,
Through ten, long weary years.

Had caught their wild rose tinge,
Eighteen springs had hidden violets
Meath my lashes silken fringe.
And the SHOWS of eighteen winters,
Drifted, lay DER neck and brow,
When he woOed me in life's spring tide,

Alas! the many changes,
Wrought by those vanished years,
The sweetest hopes that have faded
Meath the rain of bitter tears!
But his exile o is ended,

And in those words of music,

He has come! and l am leaning

And the glance he bends upon me,
And his tender kiss and tone,

AN ALBANY WOMAN's GOODNESS AND
CoURAGE.-The Syracuse Courier has the
following: "a rare instance of nerve and
GOODNESS, under trying circumstances, re-
Gently came to our knowledge. A few
weeks ago two sisters were jou1neying over
lhe Central Railroad en- route bomeward
to Albany from Colorado. They belonged
to a wealthy Albany family, and one of
them, for whose health the journey to
Colorado had been undertaken, was dying
of consumption. anxious only to die at
home. The two sisters occupied a COM
partment in a drawing-rOOm car. Just be-
fore reaching Syracuse the consumptive's
life went out, and the surviving sister, who
was attending her, was left alone in the
compartment with her sisters corpse. She
was aware of a rule of the Railroad Com
pany that in case of death on the cars, the
corpse must be removed from the cars at
the first station thereafter. To avoid the
delay that this would entail, she resolved to
conceal all knowledge of her sisters death
until they should reach Albany. To the
frequent inquiries made at the door Of her
compartment of s~ympathiZing fellow-travel-
lers as to her sisters condition, she gave
evasive replies, as also she did to the train
officials. She telegraphed at the first ops
portunity to her brother to meet her at
Schenectady, not, however, mentioning
that her sister was dead. He met her there
with her sisters corpse. At Albany they
called a hack and assistance to carry 'verv
sick lady, closely yelled. They drove to
their residence and called an undertaken.
The lady certainly showed nerve equal to
the requirements of a battlefeld.'
