Irishmen in Ireland.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes: Rarely, if ever, has there been
found national character possessing
more perfect elements of nobility than of
Ireland, yet bane too often to the
country. Where theySare hasty, impet
uous, ard want prudence and perserver
ance, they present a charming offset in
in an array of courage and devotion to
the object which engrosses them. To
their honor and their religion they are
true; to their loyalty, in the roper
sense. they are steadfast; while in their
morality they stand as men singularly
pure attached to country, devoted to
home. and proud of the old national
traditions. The chief errors of Irish
character are unique They are excuses
of virtue Their quick sensibility to
injustice makes them too often Gtigous;
their liberality degenerates into ex-
travagance - and with all of us
extravaganza opens the door to
embarrassment Excessive sociable-
ness produces frequent domestic
neglect, true adherence to patriotism is
staunch until it has become conspiracy"
compassionate, even to the malefactors,
until it has become crime; imaginative
to an excess, while reason stands still;
ambitious approaching ostentation, but
never forgetful of his love and his land
is the Irishman. An Irish gentleman,
having the intermediate education" Of
the world even, and being otherwise
weil-bred as well as well-born, and many
of his native tendencies smoothed, is,
perhaps, one of the most perfect speci-
mems Of civilized man. An Irish peas
ant, under the lesser intermediate edu-
cation" Of the army, becomes one Of the
best of soldiers, and under broader
education, one of the best of citizens.
Unlike the English peasant, he is bound
by no irrevocable curse and incapable Of
progress, incapablr of throwing off the
wet blanket OF the materialist's fatalism.

The Use and Abuse Of Coffee

The following excellent practical ad-
vice is from the Manufacturer and
Builder: "How strong should coffee be
taken is an inquiry Of much practical
importance. How much should be
taken at a meal is scarcely of less mo-
ment. Coffee, like any other beverage,
may wholly ruin the health; the very
use of it tends to this, as certainly does
the use of wine, cider, beer, or any other
artificial, stimulating drink. There is
only one safe plan Of using coffee, and
that is never, under any circumstances,
except of an extraordinary character,
exceed in quantity, frequency, or
strength-take only one cup at the reg
ular meal, and of given unvarying
strength. In this way it may be used
every day for lifetime, not only with
out injury, but with greater advantage
than an equal amount of cold water,
and for the simple reason that moth
ing cold should be drank ut a
regular meal, except by persons
in vigorous health. We have per-
sonally kaown Of the case of a
lady who was for long time in poor
health, to the mystifcation Of several
physicians whom she consulted, when at
last we discovered that she made most
extravagant use of strong coffee many
times a day-in fact she had pot of
coffee always on hand. Following the
advice to abstain from coffee resulted in
an immediate end Of all her troubles.

Food too Easily Digested.

The healthy adult requires food which
will give the stomach work TO do. The
stomach requires work as much as the
legs or arms The nutriment Of food for
such should not be distracted and ready
prepared, as, for instance, it is in milk.
eggs, meat; i, is better that the stomach
abstract it by the process Of digestion
from food. With the sick and young.
however, the case is very different. The
stomach of strong man is like quartz
crushing machine. capable Of doing Wig
orous work. That Of dyspepsic is quite
different, and may need great care TO en-
able it 10 do its work at all. Weak
stomachs, however, may be trained BY
slow degrees to do their work we'll by
giving them just the right food. properly
chewed, and stopping the expenditure Of
nerve force in other directions 20 that the
blood may go TO it. BY such a course
the dyspep.ia might be avoided OF cured.

THE FIRST DAY SABBATH. ITS
LAW.

Under this title, DIR. G. H. Atkinson
has prepared very able discourse.
which will soon appear IN pamphlet
form, and deserves to be generally read
and considered. He traces the law of
the Sabbath, the seventh day of rest, UNI
der the early Hebrew dispcnsation; its
need to weary man as Il day OF rest from
care and labor, and its dedication to the
worship of God He proceeds to show
the Interpretation given to the Sabbath
by the Savior. that the Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the Sab
bath: that Christ delegated all power to
His disciples and they dedicated the first
day of the week to HIM, calling it the
Lords Day, Observing it upon the day
of the week when He was restored to
them. He shows,in an interesting series
If sketches from Roman history, the
writings of Pliny and Traian, what per-
secution Christians endured for its Oh
servance and how the Christian Church
with unanimity commemorated the first
day of the week, under the example set
by the Apostles. The need of the Sab
bath for rest and reflection are well set
forth and the fact sustained that the
Sabbath question is one of quality and
not of quantity. Travel around the
world westward and day is lost; travel
eastward and day is gained, Towards
the Polar Circle there is six months of
day and six of night. These facts show
that the world cannot celebrate the iden-
teal day in unison and it follows that
identity is less important than the pro
per observance of some day as the Lords
Day, a rest, Sabbath. This discourse
is calculated to strengthen the Christians
faith in the Sabbath, and satisfy the
minds of all that they properly celebrate
the day the Savior rose from the grave,
and upon which, at subsequent times,
he repeatedly appeared to his disciples.

Picture Frames.

Picture frames are among the misused bless
ings of man, says writer ON bric-a-brac in the
BaZar The intention of o frame was to give
strength to the ''stretcher" over which the pa
per or canvas is drawn, and perhaps to hold a
glass. This object of mere use may be made
ornamental by enriching its face with gliding,
color, or decoration. Serviceableness, there
fore, should be the first object songht. Instead
of this, the frame is too often more fragile than
the picture, parting at the corners with fur
mace heat or the slightest blow, and shedding
its miserable glued-on ornaments as if it had a
conscious self-respeet. OF late the painters
have designed their own frames, and the re-
suit is encouraging. Oak or pine frames broad
and fiat, unornamented, and with the gliding
laid on the wood, so that the grain shows
through are very rich and effective for engrav-
ings, prints or photographs. Water colors,
with wide white mat, look well in fiat frames
of solid gliding, with a rosette at each corner,
or in plain, well-rubbed oak or chestnut. Some
painted pine frames are effective for engrav
ings or photographs. Thus black and parcel
gilt, or even white or dull red, will prove salts
factory, but the color should be ''1atted" so as
not to shine. and the ornaments incised. Sol
id gilt frames are less suited to engravings
than those gilded on wood. Frames for large
paintings may appropriately be heavy and rich.
But they should be flat, a border, and not a
box; or, if they slope, it should be backward
and not forward, as is the common way, to
avoid an unmeaning shadow. And the enrich
ments should be worked out of the frame and
not stuck on. Frames for engravings, on the
other hand, should be light and simple in
character, the black and white making mass
enough of itself. 1t is common now to see two
fIraa atn hinr clrn htyf caff1o Ion
or of similar character, framed together in one
long frame, divided by light band.

A Person Unduly Excited.

A few days since The Journal remarked that
it appears by Maine exchanges that the tramp
fraternity was very troublesome in that State,
and that it was possibly due to the failure of
the Demo-Greenback Legislature to pass the
bill which has rid New Hampshire of that
nuisance. We confess we can see nothing so
Extensively personal in the observation as
should lead DIR. Dana, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, to write the Portland
Argus a rather spiteful letter containing sug-
gestions that the Journal had better attend to
its own affairs. We certainly did not have
him in view and are at loss to know WHY he
should consider the remark aimed at him.
The Doctor says that tramping as a profession
has ceased in Portland. We are glad to hear
it; but it was In the town of Hodgdon that
tramp was turned out of house for insulting
a lady by man who arrived in an opportune
moment, and it was in that town that the
tramp set fire to a neighboring barn, and if the
Chairman of the Democratic State Committee
VIII but read the forty papers in his State he
will come across items about tramps.
Mr.. Dana finds himself in q very responsible
position. He is the organizer of party and
was so efficient in that capacity that more than
forty per cent. of its voters deserted to the
Greenback party. And this year, it is said
that fifty per cent. of those who remained with
the organization last year will leave despite
the efforts of the organizing head These are
facts calculated to keep less excitable man in
q state of constant perspiration even during a
season which has solid layers of cool easterly
spells.-Boston Journal.
