Modern investigation is reinstating
the blind old bard Homer. Schliemann
has proved that he sang of real Troy
and an actual war. Recent critics
concede him to have been a true poet,
and not myth or a mere collector, as
Wolfe taught. And now another Wolfe,
this time surgeon, and of Glasgow,
has published a pamphlet, in which
he is pretty successful in showing that
the singer of Had certainly had an
ocular defect, not color blindness, as
Mr.. Gladstone thinks, but amblyopia.
This evidence is gathered from the
treatment of colors In the poem.

POWER OF A SWEET VOICE.

There Is no power of love SO hard to
get and keep "a kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. It may be
rough In flesh and blood, yet do the
work of q soft heart, and do it with
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love go much needs as q sweet
voice to tell what It means and feels;
and 1t is hard to get 1t and keep 1t in
the right tone. One must start In
youth, and be on the watch night and
day, at work aud play, to get and keep
. voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of q kind heart. But
this is the time when sharp voice is
most apt to be got. You often hear
boys and girls say words at play with
"a quick, sharp tone, Is If it were the
gets vexed, you will hear voice that
sounds as II It were made up Of a snarl,
q whine, and Q bark. Such q voice
often speaks worse than the heart feels.
It shows more ill-wiu In the tone than
In the words. It Is often In nirth
that one gets voice or tone that is
sharp, and sticks to him through life,
and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls
like q drop of gall on the sweet joys at
home. Such as these get q sharp home
voice for uee, and keep their best
voice for those they meet elsewhere,
just as they would save their best
cakes and pies for guests, and all their
sour food for their own board. /
would say to all boys and girls, "Use
your guest voice at home." Watch it
by day, as q pearl of great price, for 1t
will be worth more to you in days to
come than the best pearl hid In the
sea. A kind voice Is q lark's song to
a hearth and home. 1t is to the heart
what light is to the eye. 1t is light
that sings as we'll as shines. Train 1t
to sweet tones now, and 1t will keep In
tune through life.- Youths CO'a.2oa,s-
ion.

Prof. Wingard claimed to be the in
Ventor of an apparatus with which he
could destroy a vessel at distance of
five miles. This would, he reasonably
said, put stop to all naval warfare,
since anybody in possession of his
secret could shatter a hostile fleet with
out getting in range of its guns. He
gave public exhibition at New Or
leans two years ago in the presence of
many scientific men. The hulk of q
schooner was operated upon. The
Professor approached within about q
mile of it in a small boat, and then it
was blown to atoms. AS to the nature
of this awful force, he would only say
that 1t was electricity, applied without
any direct connection between the
machine and the object to be destroyed.
He turned up Mt Boston last summer,
formed stock company, and got
$500 for a preliminary experiment.
A little steamer was obtained, and in a
dark house ON its deck, with careful
privacy, Wingate arranged great
amount of apparatus. On the day ap-
pointed for the test, a few weeks ago,
an old vessel was toWed to a safe point
In the bay, and the'steamer was sta
toned mile away. Suddenly there
was an explosion at q considerable dis
lance from either craft, and afterward
the wreck of a rowboat, with two
mangled human bodies, was found at
that spot. Wingate, greatly agitated,
said that his experiment could not be
carried out that day. The newspapers
could not, at the time, ascertain the
facts. Now the Boston Herald gives
an explanation based on confession
by Wingate to one of the stockholders.

oe repeated in Boston, was to explode

AYERS Pulls have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained y worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the

occurred to the government authorities
In charge of the mines to obtain q sup

feet in diameter was commenced some
live years ago, and at depth of 2OS
feet the salt was reached. The boring
was continued to a further depth of $50
feet, the diameter of the bore being re-

lions were subsequently prosecuted by
the aid of steam, until a depth of 4l94

boring was discontinued, the borer be-

exhibits the enormous thickness of

refreshed by an unfailing luxuriaDce
of running streams, supplied either by
art or nature, the great city Of the
Tigris is the theme Of many an admir-
ing ode or laudatofy ghazel.; and the
poets of the time all agree In describ-
great Caliph, q sort Of terrestrial par
adise Of "idlesse'' and luxury, where,
to use their own expressions, the ground
was irrigated with rose water and the
dust Of the roads was musk, where
flowers and verdure overhung the ways,
and the afr was perpetually sweet with
the many-voiced song of birds, and
where the the chirp Of Iutes, the dulcet
MARBLE of flutes and the silver sound
of singing houris rose and fell In har-
monious cadence from every corner of
the streets Of palaces that stood in vast
succession in the midst of their gardens
and orchards, gifted with perpetual
verdure by the silver abundance of the
Tigris, as it sped in its arrowy flight
through the thrice-blest town.
Bagdad, indeed, was, In many re-
spects emphatically a sscitta cortiginia,"
q sort of Vienna or Bucharest of the
olden time, carried to the higher evolu-
ton correspondent with the more sem
suous influences of the luxuriant East
and the state of public morality there
was naturally of the laxest. Especially
was this the case among the higher
classes. Drunkenness and debauchery
of the most uncompromisinR kind
prevailed among them In despite of
the precepts of the Koran; and men
and woman seemed to vie with each
other in refinements of luxury and
dissipation.
As was the case in period that offers
no small analogy to that of which I
speak, the epoch of the Roman deca-
dence, the women of the upper classes,
to whom was apparently allowed an
amount of liberty, or rather license,
curiously at variance with our Western
ideas of Eastern domestic polity, appear
to have been especially corrupt and
many are the tales of their licentlous
habits and adventures that are to be
found in the ssThousand and One
Nights, I" reminding US ofthe esMemofrs
of Casanova" although almost always
redeemed by touches of pathos, poetry
or romance, which do not exist in the
latter's somewhat dry and unattractive
records of ordinary galnnte,'ie.
The story of ssThe Porter and the
Three Ladies of Bagdad, }" that of ssThe
BARRIERS Brother Bacbarah,H and sew
eral others contained in the old version,
give some idea of the license of the
time, and examples are still more
abundant and circun1stantial in the
tales that compose the comparatively
unknown portion Of the collection.

THE PALM TREE.

The Scripture says: "The righteous
shall flourish as palm tree" Let us
see what this comparison means. The
palm tree grows not In the depths of
the foreet, or in fertile loan, but In
the desert. Its verdure often springs
apparently from the searching dust.
It is friendly lighthouse, guiding
the traveller to the spot where water is
to be found. The tree Is remarkable
for it's beauty, its erect aspiring growth,
Its leafy canopy, its waving plumes,
the emblem of praise in all ages. Its
very foliage is the symbol of joy and
exuitation. 1t never fades and the
dust never settles upon it.: It was,
therefore, twisted into the booths of
the feast of the tabernacles, was carried
aloft by the multitude that accompa-
MED the Messiah to Jerusalem, and 1t
Is represented as in the hands of the
redeemed in heaven. For usefulness,
the tree is unrivalled. Gibbon SAYS
that the natives of Syria speak of $50
uses to which the palm is applied. Its
shade refreshes the traveller; its fruit
restores to him his strength; when his
soul fails for thirst, 1t announces water.
Its stones are ground for his camels.
Its leaves are made into couches, its
boughs into fences and wall, and its
fibres into ropes or ringing. It's best
fruit, moreover, is borne in all ages !;
the finest dates being often gathered
when the tree has reached a hundred
years. 1t sends, too, from the same
root large number of suckers, that in
time form forest by their growth.
What an emblem of the righteous in
the desert of a guilty world! 1t is not
unfnstructive to add that this tree,
once the symbol of Palestine, is now
rarely seen in that country.-Joseph
Angus.

is much more BENEFICIAL if allowed
to become cool before using. A
bottle OF the tea should be carried
in the pocket aud used whenever
there is II desire for drink. Young
or old plants are good dried ia the
shade and kept in clean bags. The
medicine must be continued from
three 10 six months, according to
the nature of the disease. 1t is
very good for the bloOd-vessels
also. 1t strengthens and builds up
the system instead of taking away
the strength; 1t makes good blood,
and takes inflammation away from
the lungs. IL is the wish of the

should publish this recipe for the
benefit of the human family. Lay

There is a good deal of excite
ment in Virginia, caused by the
procedure of United States Judge
Rives, with regard to two negroes,
who were tried for murder and
one found guilty. but as the jurors
were all white men, upon an appeal
from the convicted negro, the Judge
issued a writ, taking the negro
from the custody of the State Court,
and assuming jurisdiction in the
case himself. The matter was car
ried to the Legislature. which body
instructed the Attorney General to
proceed before the Supreme Court
of the United States, and there de-
mand such protection and redress
as that tribunal can afford. The
Court ordered Judge Rives to APP
pear before it on March 3lst to
show cause why a "mandamus"
should not be issued, compelling
him to return the body of the negro
to the State authorities. Senators
Edmunds and Cohkling and the At
torney General of the United States
will assist Judge Rives, and as the
case is so important, Secretary Ev
arts will be present also. As ex
cited as the people seem, Judge
Rives has shown no signs of intim
idation. The whole matter turns
upon the fact that the juries were
not composed of negroes as well as
whites, and Judge Rives tries to
make it appear that this is in def
ance of the l4th amendment. He
has had a numb Der of Judges indict
ed, but as yet the Marshall has
made no sSrests.
