nOCTOR THAYER had a double
- reason for this arrangement, the
second one of which made him feel
little guilty. The arrangement made at
home was that the child should be given
to the nuns to adopt and do as they
pleased with, he retaining no authority,
and paying no expenses; but since she
had clung so to him, and he had found
how hard 1t would be to renounce all
influence over the fate of one bound to
him by such peculiar ties, and to give
her up so utterly that he would have no
right to make inquiry for her, he had
changed his mind. The only way to
keep any hold on her was by paying her
expenses, and that he instantly resolved
to do. But he as instantly decided to
say nothing at home about this change
in his plans.
" It will only worry and annoy An
nie," he thought "She can't under
stand how 1 feel, and doesn't see
why should care anything about the
child, and can't change. 1t is better
to avoid discussion"
HAS she been baptized? ?" the supe-
rior asked.
The doctor did not know, and had no
means of finding out.
"You would want her to be christen-
ed Rosey" was the next question.
"Yes,and would like to add name,

"Oh, she can take as many names as
you like" said the superior.
Doctor Thayer bent smilingly over
the child, who still nestled closely to
his side, and lifting her face with his
hand, asked
"Would my little girl like to have me
name her Rose Blanche9 She is too
white to be only Rose, which should
be pink. May I name you Blanche,
dear 2"
"Yes," whispered Rose, with un-
smiling lips.
There seemed nothing else to do but
to intrust to the superior the souvenirs
of Roses mother which Mrs. Burkhardt
had kept, and to take leave OF the little
Ngirl.
"Please write me line after few
days, and let me know how she is con.
Rented" the doctor said, rising. 81
think that she will attach herself to the
place and to you, but i shall feel anx

He clasped tightly the little hand thai
held his in its soft, clinging hold, helC
up the small face, and looking steadily
into 1t for one moment, kissed the child
forehead, cheek and mouth, and sud

FORGOTTEN.

How harshly falls upon the ear
This one sad word-how great the fear
To be, when death to us draws near,
Forgotten
To know, ere many Summers gay,
Or Winters drear, have passed away,
That we must moulder in the clay,
Forgotten
30 all men seek the mystic key
Of earthly immortality,
In the vain hope of not to be
Forgotten!
But all vain hopes must die,
No man can flight of time defy;
We all within our graves must lie,
Forgotten

Not by Chance.

Perhaps in some isolated instances n
man may become wealthy through Sc
ries of circumstances very much resem-
bling duck" but as rule, those who
would enjoy success must work hard for
it. Twenty clerks in store, twenty
hands in printing office, twenty APP
prentices in ship-yard, twenty young
men in village want to get on in
the world, and expect to do so. One of
the clerks will become partner, and
make fortune; one of the compositors
will own newspaper, and become an
influential citizen and one of the APP
prentices will become master builder;
one of the young villagers will get a
handsome farm and live like patri-
arch-but which one is the lucky indi-
viduall Lucky There is rarely any
luck about it. The young man who will
distance his competitors is he who mas
tiers his business, who preserves his in
tegrity, who lives clearly and purely,
who devotes his leisure to the acquisi-
ton of knowledge, who gains friends by
deserving them, and who saves his spare
money. There are some ways to fortune
shorter than this old dusty highway; but
the stanch men of the community, the
men who achieve something really worth
having, good fortune, good name, and
serene old age, all travel along in this
road

But for the purpose Of this argument let me
admit that in their course in this matter the
Democratic party were wrong; let me admit
that they we're hagrantly, fatally, hideously
wrong let me admit that that scheme of tack
ing is a scheme Conceived in fraud and
brought forth in iniquity.n What then? The
very law which the Democrats were proposing
to alter and amend became law in this very
manner, and became law in this manner BY
the oontrivance of the very party for whom Mr..
sherman speaks, and with which he was CO.

ceived the fraud; they aud he brought forth
the iniquity; and il the Democrats, following
in their footsteps in the single instance of try

and crying evil by them created through such
practice, have committed wrong, then Is the

The Value Of Military Studies.

It is worth while, in more ways than
the art of war. 1t is worth while to us
rs people of readers las a people which
takes, think, particular interest in
history--as people which, because it
manages its own affairs, ought to read
history understandingly. Now no other
portion of the chronicle of Humanity is
in general SO incompletely presented and
so imperfectly comprehended, as that
which relates to military events As
history is usually written, an ordinary
civilian may read about campaigns and
battles all his life, without ever really
knowing why one army failed. and an
other. succeeded. His first supposition
probably is that the victors were drawer
than the vanquished. Then he is puzzled
TO account for the apparently resulting
fact that Germans, for instance, are
sometimes drawer than Frenehmen, and
sometimes not so brave. If he is liberal
in politics, he explains this 10y talking
about the spirit of an age" If he is
Il hero-worshipper, he speaks of the
genius of Frederick, or the genius of
Napoleon. But in neither case can he
show the process by which his favorte
cause produced the given effect.
On the other hand the intelligent mil
itary student really and clearly sees why
this or that battle ended as it did. He
Comedies of course, difference in the
morale of armies, anda difference in COM
manders. But he investigates more
infinitely than this: he inquiries into the
particulars of organization, discipline,
and other preparation; he studies the
geography and topography of the scene
of action, and the handling of the oppos-
ing columns; to this final circumstance,
indeed, he attributes an almost decisive
influence. Examining the details of Ross
bach, for example, and remembering the
principle "not to make a flank march
within sight and reach of an active
enemy" he understands why forty-six
thousand French and allies were beaten
by twenty-five thousand Prussians Ex-
aiming Napoleon's first campaign in
Italy, and remembering the principle
mot to make detachments on the eve of
a conflict" he understands how seventy
five thousand Austrians and Piedmontese
were crushed by forty-four thousand
French. With the same ease many
minor mysteries of military history are
unlocked by the minor keys of military
science. An outpost is captured, or u
convoy comes to grief, through lack Of
small precautions, all well known to the
educated soldier, though sometimes neg
lected by him, and all beyond even tho
guessing range of the mere civilian

Signs Attending Feigned Grief.

The expression of grief has recently
been a subject of investigation by an
Italian Psychologist, M. Paolo Mente-
gaia, who has studied with great care
all the contractions which suffering pro-
duces in the human face, and endeayored
to arrive at an exact distinction of the
phenomena of real from those of simu-
lated sorrow. All the forms of dolorous
hypocrisy he exposes mercilessly. The
following, according to M. Mentegazza,
are signs of grief: /. The expression is
nearly always exaggerated relatively to
the cause of the grief; 2. The visage is
not pale, and the muscular disturbance
is intermittent 3. The skin has its nor
NAL heat; 4. There is not harmony in
the mimicry of grief, and one sees GER
tain contractions, certain relaxations,
which are wholly wanting in real grief;
s. The pulse is frequent in consequence
of the exaggerated muscular movement;
6. A surprise, or any object which WV
idly attracts the attention, sufices TO
make the tragic mask suddenly fall OFF;
7. Sometimes one succeeds in discover
ing among the tears, the sobs, and heart
rending lamentations, the presence of a
chuckle, which expresses, perhaps, the
malignant pleasure of practising de-
ception; s. The expression is eccentric,
or is wholly wanting in concentric
forms

The latest development in the New
York Tilden and Kelly imbroglio is
that Kelly is to get the control of the
politics of New York CT y from the Cor
nell Republicans in case Cornell is
elected. 1t is charged that the bargain
is similar to that consummated at one
period by faction of the New York
Republican party with Tweed, and by
which he was enabled to perpetuate his
enormous robberies. Can there be

THE New York Tribatnehas been de-
lighted with the downfall of Mr.. Thur
man. The defeat of no other man in
public life could have so pleased the
proprietor of that concern, Mr.. Jay
Gould. He is in the Union Pacific for
the purpose of making the most of it.,
to the disadvantage of the United
States; but Thurman persistently urged
his bill, and finally secured it's passage,
compelling the company to create a
sinking fund from its earnings for the
discharge of its obligations to the Gov
eminent. This he did in the face OF
Jay Gould's shameless lobby. Just as
Jay Gould's organ is rejoicing that Thur
mans political career will soon be ended
there comes the decision of the Su-
preme Court that the Thurman law is
constitutional. 1t will be enforced,
therefore, greatly to the disgust of the
Goald crowd, who will find that Thur
man survives sufficiently to make them
do the honest thing. ....a.

elected a member of the Ohio Legisla-
ture in Hamilton county, accom-
panied Charley Foster to New York
the other day, intending to engage with
him in a canvass of the State in the in
terest of Cornell, Conkling and Canon
Chef. He was received by the Repub-
lican managers with chilling civility
and sent to hotel, where he was told
to remain until his services were need
ed. The clerks, regardless !of the Civil
Rights law andIthe failure of the wiping
out programme, assigned their Sene-
gambian guest room near the caves,
where he was informed he might also
eat, the dining-room being reserved ex-
clusively for the played-out Caucasian.
When the full force of this Southern
outrage was appreciated by the honor
able moke from Ohio, he picked up his
consumptive grip-sack and started for a
restaurant, inyeighing bitterly against

treated as gentleman. He and his
brother stumpers will make the Robin

they warm up to their work. Chicago

6 Sit" and 6 Set.v

Many of the agricultural journals are
sorely troubled to know whether hen sits
or sets. If some editor of dignity would
set hen on the nest, and the little edit
tors would let her set it would be well
for the world. Now a man, or woman
either, can set a hen, although they can
not sit her; neither can they set on her,
although the old hen might sit on them
by the hour if they would allow it. A
man cannot set on the wash-bench; but
he could set the basin on it, and neither
the basin nor the grammarians would
object. He could sit on dogs tail, if
the dog were willing; or he might set
his foot on it. But if he should set his
foot on the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot
there, the grammarians as well as the
dog would howl. And yet, strange as it
may seem, the man might set the tail
aside and then set down, and neither be
assailed by the dog or the grammarians.

large fox trotting along between the two

or acts ON the spur of the moment. In
this case he coolly took in the situation,
and carefully revolved the question in
his mind of how to capture the fox. He
soon had it. He would bury him alive !
Suddenly striking the horses smart
blow and engineering the pillow with a
doublejointed twist, over went the fox
in the furrow, and over the fox went a
covering of earth. Nothing but the
hind legs of the animal were visible, and
these Webster seized, and, whisking his
foxship out of the furrow, dashed his
brains out on stone near by

Mrs. Samuel Russell, who resides on
South Duke street, is the owner of an
ordinary cat which has acted in an ex-
traordinary manner. Last night grimai-
kin was seen to catch young rat and
apparently swallow it whole. Incredible
as it may seem, the cat was noticed this
morning to cape and as if she was about
to vomit, and upon close inspection, the
rat was heard to squeal in her stomach.
At six o'clock this evaning the rat was
still. alive, and may be heard to cry in
the interior of the cat, while poor pussy
continues to try vainly to serve a writ Of
ejectment on this unwelcome tenant.

She Caught the Fish However.

The Canandaigua journal says that a
party of autumn sojourners at Canaan
daigua Lake went boat riding the
other evening, there being among them
a young lady who delighted in toying
with waves. Her hand was hanging
alongside the boat, just under the sur
face, when she felt it closed upon by the
jaws of fish. Startled by the pain, the
hand was jerked so quickly from the
water that the fish was landed in the
boat The tempting bait, sad to tell, was
lacerated badly.
