He says "they hurry, they eat quick,
they gulp, they belch, they have stom-
aeh-ache, headache, liver troubles and
bowel complaint; they fret and they
scold, they get cross at nothing and
without cause; they look sallow and hol-
low-eyed; they look hungry and can't
eat; they spit up food, they have wake
full nights. They die early because
they disregard true principles. These
troubles and many others, grow out of

THE Irish harvest this year is described as
the best known tor more than generation.
Tho area planted with oats was very large, and
the yield has turned out to be at least seventy
five per cent in excess of that of last season;
while the grain has obtained, if anything, a
better price in the market than it did last year,
when the yield was SO scanty. The yield of
wheat has teen in some parts as much as twelve
barrels to the statute acre, and the the quality,
both red and white. has been superior to that
Of any harvest within living memory. The
green crops, too, have, as a rule, given the
Irish farmer satisfaction, although the potato
crop has been a si5 ht disappointment

In an editorial article telling its readers how
to keep warm, the New York Herald says that
no one can be comfortably warm unless he eats
enough to make the requisite quantity of blood.
Cleanliness also is necessary TO persons who do
not want to suffer from cold. Unless the skin
and all other outlets of physical waste are in
proper condition a great deal of bodily heat is
squandered in attempts to overcome the results
of careless habits. People whose sitting rooms
Or offices are never ventilated are sure to feel
chilly, even if the mercury in their rooms stand
at eighty degrees. III an untainted atmosphere
ten degrees cooler the same people would not
com plain Of cold chill5 running down their
backs. Finally, exercise is absolutely neces-
sary. No clothing, open fires or hot air de-
vices can save any one from discomfort in win
ter unless exercise is frequent and earnest
enough to make heavy clothing discomforting
for few minutes.

GOODBYE, OLD WEAR.

Oh, good companion, stand fast awhile; W
We've walked together many pleasant mile,
And would CATCH thy last, faint, par ing SMILE s
And say, Goodbye, old year"
Hero at the glowing hearth let me retrace
Tho splendid tokens of thy feeting grace,
Thy ever open hand and smiling face,
And say, Goodbye, old year,
The January bells and gifts-the snow,
The flying eighs, the skaters all aglow,
The CHANGING eyes, the whispers soft and low
All. well goodbye, oldyeAr.
The February joys, the splendid play,
The witching opera, and the ballroom gay;
The shopping, and the f1irting-welladay
Goodbye, goodbye, old year.
The pleasant signs that came with March again,
The parks gay drive, the gallop in the lane,
The planning and the dreaming would fain
Live over them, old year.
But, oh, the April hours! when happy trees
Grew green with gladness in the w~rm south breeze
And al the birds came singing DER the seas,
Singing of JOY, Odd year.
The glory of May the warm, white showers,
The orchard blooms, the goiden-tinted flowers
The building nests in all the woodland bowers
What memories, old year!
And then the roses in the month of June,
The ballny freshness of the busy noon,
The silver splendor of the young spring moon
All these were thine old year.
AS were the July skies, the scented hay,
The dreamy languors of the summer day,
The drifting boat upon the IN blue bay;
Can forget, old year?
Or hope to hear again song so sweet
AS when one night, with slow, consenting feet,
walked with love among the August wheat;
Oh, loves sweet song, Old year.
its echoes haunt the shaded, scented place
Where brown September met us face to face,
And crowned us with the vineyards purple grace;
Oh, grapes! oh, love! old year!
Oh, wine, and corn, and fruit, and little sighs
Oh, nirt y spendor of October skies
Oh, Indian summer caught In lovers eyes
Oh, sweet still days, old year!
Oh, blazing hearth /! oh, home! oh, comfort rare
Of dear November with its pleasant care,
OF grateful Thanksgiving and dainty fare,
And heart of love- Old year.
Thus did we dwell together, thou good year,
Till hale December brought the Christmas cheer.
Now shall we part? Old friend, there is no fear;
Thou shalt thy strength renew.
Yet ere this charmful circle pass away,
Turn the familiar face-one moment stay
While love and gratitude find space to say,
Goodbye, old year, goodbye.

GovERNoR JOHN Pope HENNEssEY is making
vigorous effort to suppress slavery in Hong

who made efforts to sell woman, were brought
before the chief justice recently and sentenced
to two years Imprisonment with hard labor
and two others who were trying TO sell five boys
We're sentenced to seven years Imprisonment.
Governor Hennessey has much to contend with
In his crusade against slavery, as many of the
English residents are interested IN the trade,
and thwart him by every means in their power.
Up to the present, however, he has been agrees
s1ye and successful.

answered, to the surprise of many, that she

Boston. Her desi communicated to the
representative of that company and at tire close
of the exposition the hatchets were sent to her
by the Commissioner General, and letter of
thanks, of Which the following is translation,

MEDICAL science seems to develop but slowly,
while in the other lines of science there is
rapid progress constant inventions and dis
coEer1es being made. Diseases continue their
fatal march, unchecked, utterly battling the
skill of the physician in cases where it would
seem that remedies should exist. Diphtheria
that dreadful and insidious disease, is I'D
usually prevalent this season, and very fatal.
While it breaks out in unwholesome localities,
and where there is defective sewerage, it also
appears in places where apparently all sanitary
measures have been adopted. There is room
for inventions and discoveries and genuine phil
anthropic genius in the medical world.

A CHRIS TWAS HYMN.
BY MRS. A. Y. COLE.

Seekest thou the Christ Know he is not affair."
Perch.nce He waketh IN yon crowded g rect
Still through each night shines forth His guiding
star,
And in all pathways thou the Christ mayest meet
HI dwelleth not alone above yon heaven,
Yelled in the splendors OF Infnity;
His sIcred tread to all the earth is given
City and desert, mountain, plain and sea.
AS thou shalt minister to another's needs,
Smoothing thorny ny for weary feet,
Binding wi h gentle hand some heart that bleeds,
There in thy pathway, thou the Christ shalt meet
He, the divine, whose Kingdom cannot fade,
Whose glory shine beyond eartIs utmost height
Whose birth amid the winters midnight shade,
Was sung by angels on that wondrous night.
Still through each winters gloom a carol swes,
And angling bells chs out in joyance free;
TITS not above yon starry height He dwels,
But in the heart of our humanity.
Let the good will which man to man should bear
Shine forth in deeds more mob y than of old,
Sweet az that song which stirred the Judean air,
And reused the shepherds watching by the fold.
And let the gospel Of His life abide,
As in that fdr-of century it begun,
Until amid times all-evo wing tide,
Christ and Humanity shall be as one.

Now way is suggested to help the ship
wrecked; for there is no doubt that as in sea-
sons past, so in months to come, vessels will be
wrecked, and half-drowned people rescued from
the waters by the brave smfmen of the life
saving stations. But the station buildings con-
tain no adequate supply of food, stimolants
and clothing for the use Of those who are res
cued, but generally exhausted and Ill from their
struggles with the waves. The Women's Ma
tonal Relief association proposes that needed
stores be kept at each station, and call upon
the charitably disposed to aid in furnishing
what is necessary.

THERE may be people in this world who do
not know what Hardic coach is, but people of
that sort would be looked on as very ignorant
In Philadelphia. The Quaker City travelling
public have long staggered under the burden of
q cent. Street cars charge six cents and
punch buff trip slip in the presence of the
passengers, which adds insult to injury. This
started the Hardic coaches. Previously band
of walkers was inaugurated but Philadelphia
differs very slightly from an entire western
county, except that the houses are little more
frequent, ana SO the walkers could not stand it.
The coaches hold eight to ten passengers,
charge five cents, are pulled by one horse,
make quicker time than the street cars, start at
$50 a.. NJ. stop at 1870 A. NJ, and thus they
are throttlng gigantic one cent monopoly.

DIVORCE in Scotland was several years ago an
almost unheard of thing. Public sentiment
would not tolerate the presence of q party to q
divorce suit, and lawyers who were engaged in
them were ostracised as moral lepers. But
modern notions now prevail, and it isn't looked
upon as such an awful thing az it used-to be.
During the last ten years there have been 472
divorces granted by the Scotch courts, and 252,-

THE MUD WAsP's STRATEGY.

Seth Green says: Ever since / was
a little boy, l have frequently noticed
that the nests of mud wasps, when
broken in upon, would shell out a lot
of dissected spiders and other insects in
smaller proportion. / had always sup
posed that even so formidable an insect
as wasp would hardly want anything
to do with a good full-grown spider, for
Iknew enough Of the combativeness of
the latter to presume that he would
not meekly submit to the sacrifice of
his progeny to satisfy the appetite Of a
wasp; but Que day saw little dem
onstration which made the whole thing
very clear to me. You know of the
careful manner in which the spider
builds and incioses the nest in which
its young are brought forth and reared?
Well, | was observing one of these
nests one morning, when / saw mud
wasp come buzzing along and aligbt
within an inch or two OF it, on the side
opposite the opening. After all was
quiet, he proceeded with his little game
of strategy. Creeping noiselessly round
toward the opening or entrance to the
nest, he halted little short of it, and
for moment remained perfectly quiet;
then reaching out one of his antenna,
he wriggled it before the opening and
withdrew it. This overture had the
desired effect, for the boss of the nest,
as large spider as one ordinarily sees,
came ont to see what was wrong and to
set it to rights. No sooner had the
spider emerged to that point, when he
was ut the worst disadvantage, than the
wasp, with a movement quicker than
wink, swung the rear portion of his
body around and thrust his sting
through the body of his foe, killing him
easily and almost instantly. The exper-
iment was repeated on the part Of the
wasp, and whcp there was no response
from the inside he became satisfied,
probably, that he held the fort; at all
events he proceeded to enter the nest
and slaughter the young spiders, which
were afterwards lngged off, one at a
time. So this accounts fully for the
spider Innings which we always see in
the nests of mud wasps and makes it
all as clear as if THAT particular wasp
had told me beforehand just what he
proposed by his strategy to accomplish.
Now, it is just such demonstrations as
this which must convince us of the in
telligence of the lower order of life,
differing only in degree and develop
ment from the intelligence of man. OF
course, much OF this goes beyond nay
comprehension, but I understand more
about it now than ever before, forI
have taken pleasure in observing and
studying not only the habits Of insects
and fish, but of many other creatures
inferior to man, which are popularity
supposed to be governed in their actions
by instinct.
