The Danish Plan.

somewhat singular business institution
In Denmark which perhaps might he

is born to him, enrolls her name in a. oe,-

pays a certain sum, and thereafter a fixed
annual amount, 10 the society. When
she has reached the age of-we believe
twenty one, she becomes entitled tn .

apartments in large building of the
association, with gardens and parks about

enable the company to chanre lower ar

would certainly add to the attractiveness
OF the plan, and would only be portion
Of the assets Of the company. A single
| lady, at the death of her father, or when
she was ofage; would thus find herself
in possession Of a pleasant suite OF rooms
with respectable companions, and in the
enjoyment of a small fixed income. The
class who now suffer most from the coz

protected women OF well-to-do families
would thus be sheltered and cared fo-.
Fathers who could not spare capital for
their daughters could thus devote some
| portions of annual income which would
secure their future. We commend the
Danish plan to our insurance companies.

An Epicure's Fate.

MI Rogerson, the son Of a gentleman
of large fortune in England, after receiv-
ing an excellent education, was sent
abroad to make the grand tour. In this
Journey young Rogerson attended 10
nothing but the various modes of cook
ery and the methods of eating and drink
ing luxuriously. Before his return his
father died, when he entered into the
possession Of a very large fortune. He
was now able to look over his notes Of
epicurism and to discover where the
most, exquisite dishes. and best cooks
were to be procured. He had no servants
but men cooks. Footman, butler, house
keeper, coachman and groonls were all
cooks Among those more professionally
SO were one from Florence, another from
Vienna, and another from Viterbo, who
was employed for the special purpose OF
dressing one particular dish only-the
"docce picante" of Florence. He had a.
so IA German cook for dressing the livers
Of turkeys, and the rest we're all French.
Mr.. Rogerson had messenger constantly
travelling between Brittany and London
to bring him the eggs of certain sort OF
plover near st. Malo, and a single dinner
consisting Ol TWO ulSllcS Ou1y1 eOLuCllIitS
cost him upward Of fifty guineas. &c
counted the minutes between his meals,
and was wholly absorbed in devising
means to indulge his appetite. In the
course of nine years he found his table
dreadfully abridged by the ruin of his for
tune, and he was verging fast to poverty.
When he had spent a fortune of $4,000
and was totally ruined, friend gave hino
a guinea to keep him from starving; but
a short time after he was found dressing
an ortolon for himself A few days later
he died by his own hands.
i How suggestive is the speech Of chill
dren when they are handling great sub
iects without knowing it. "My father"
said mute, ngiorious Milton, els in the
grocery business and he has lots OF
money The incipient Shakespeare
looked the mute, inglorious Milton ii
the eye and said with fervor, "And my
father is in the bankruptcy business, and
has got more money than your father"

with her cheek like the rose on u bed of snow,
And her bosom beneath like the sailing swan
looked and looked, till my heart was gone.
With the foot Of the fawn she crossed the lawn,
Half con6ding, aud half In fear;
And her eyes of blue, they thrilled me through,
One blessed minute, then like the deer
Away she darted, and left me here
Oh! Sun, you are late at your golden gate,
For you've nothing to show beneath the sky
So compare to the lass who crossed the grass
OF the shamrock field ere the dew was dry
And the glance that she gave me as she

France. Just ninety years ago, lacking
a few months, on the 14th day Of July,
the people of Paris took q holiday.
Twelve thousand Of them, with such gala
day emblems as pick-axes, sledges, mus
kets and cutlasses, went picnicking to
the place de Bastille. They were in
blouses, and most of them hungry, sever
al in the crowd were destined to make
some noise in the world afterwards,
Some as revolutionary worthless Us David
and Clootz, others as squacks like Caglio-
sTo, and others again as leaders Of the
reaction. 4,4-
The People of Paris were going to
abolish the Bastile; liberty equality and
fraternity demanded it. The new philoso7
ply travelling from theory to practice,
and the Bastile was the first stage on the
road. The Governor, de iLaunay, who
was loyal gentleman and soldier, had
no force to oppose the mob; he temper
lied and sent for troops. The blouscs
found him out and tore him to- pieces,
with this bunch of keys-the symbol of
his authority--in his hands. One of the
busiest blouses in the sack. one that was
most prominent in releasing the prisoners
through his knowledge of locksmithing,
was a young artisan named Lechastel.
When the turbulent sea of Paris was
Gained, he found himself still in the pos
session Of the keys, which were at last
put away as relics and kept in the family
until 1872, Antoine Lechastel emigrated
to America, carrying, among his other
household goods, these bits Of the Bastile.
From his possession they passed into the
hands of Mr.. John G. Hamilton. the pres
ent owner.--St. LOUIS Post-Dispatch.

LEE, MASS, May 8, 1878. MR. F. M. PEAsE-Dear Sir: wish to ex- press my gratitude to you by stating that, within one year, have had in my family two cases of what the physicians pronounced gen. uine Diphtheria, ant one of them cost the life Of my daughter. When had the third case resolved to try your potaska before obtaining medical aid. My youngest child, Is months old. was taken in the morning, and late in the afternoon found that he had 8 high fever His tonsils were fast swelling and badly inham- ed-so much so that swallowing was nearly inn possible and breathing heavy. I immediately gave him half teaspoonful of the potaska and followed it up each half hour, and in two hours saw that there was a change for the better, the fever subsidlng and his brea thing more free. The next morning we found the child's throat and tonsils covered with white patches We continued to use the potaska more freely, and with the happiest results. The child is now, after nine days, well. hale and hearty. We give the credit to the immediate use of po- taska, for we used nothing else. also consid- CT the potaska preventive of tho disease, for not one of the family have taker. it.
 Yours truly. ALBERT Nj. SPOOR,

During my severe attack of diphtheria used it very free ly, with the happiest result, finding great re- lief from the terrible suffering, and consider my prompt recovery due to tn. Specific. While diphtheria was raging so fearfully Tn the neigh borhood of Pleasant Valley, personally saw that families of my employees were furnished with the Specific, and can vouch that in these families not member was seriously sick. while otber families not using it, lost from one to three members by the dread disease,
