MY LOSS.

Day after day while at my window sitting,

Like butterflies In summer gardens Hitting,
They hover round beneath my waichful eye.
The little girls, with fuslcd and merry faces.
Glance nt me Shyly for my answering smile,
And tempt me with their most alluring graces
To put sad thoughts away while they be

Blonde hair and brown in soft confusion
blending.
Black eyes and blue upturned to meet my
gaze,
Roses both white and pink their contrast lend
To add new beauty TO the 'wildcring maze.

Steal slowly homeward through the sunset

her head, and this constitutes a divorce.
Coreau-The husband can divorce his
wife, or treasure, and leave her the
charge of maintaining the children. II
she proves unfaithful he a put her to
death. Siamese-The first wife may be
divorced, not sold, as the others may be.
She then may claim the first, third and

Swindling by Wholesale.

The various frauds unearthed by the
Post-oflice Department recently, give
new emphasis to the fact that, if, as
some claim, Immortality is denied to
other people, the fools do not die.
One Henry p. Jones, in New York,
sends autograph letters over the country
to his cousin who left the army after
the war, and whose name, the same rs

ing, STONES" has seen in the directory.
"Jones" says he is agent for a lottery,
and will arrange it so that his cousin"
shall draw the prize on IN incloSed
ticket because it will be a good adver-
tisement if he goes around among his
friends and neighbors proclaiming his
good luck. In a few days Burnett "
writes to "~Jones's" "cousin;" that is
to say he sends a letter to the same
parties in different parts of the country
whom ",Jones" addressed, saying that
the correspondent thus addressed has
drawn a watch worth $500, on which,
for packing, registering, etc, he is al
lowed a commission of 80. The dupe
sends his S3, and Burnett" sends an
other letter announcing that "Jones"
had no authority to send him a lottery
ticket free. He thereupon demands S5
more-the price of the ticket-which
the dupe sends him, and the CORE
spondence closes.
Another letter flooding the country

Sweet Rusks: One quart of sweet
milk, three tablespoonful of yeast, and
flour to make a stiff batter; let it rise
over night, and in the morning add one
cupful of lard or butter (f the former,
salt must be used), ribbed to a paste
with n cupful of white sugar and three
eggs, reserving the white of one to beat
to a froth with a little sugar, and brush
over the tops of the msks when done.

-Whitlows: A lady who has been
troubled some time with a whitlow on
her finger gives a simple remedy, from
which she experienced great relief, and
which enabled her to obtain sleep after
many restless nights. 1t is to cut a hole
in q lemon and wear it on the finger like
a t~himble-the whitlow being incased

NIGHT LIFE OF YOUNG MEN.-0ne
night often destroys u whole life. The
leakage of the night keeps the day forever
empty. Night is SIMS harvesting time.
More sin and crime are committed in one
night than in all the days of the week.
This is more emphatically true of the
city than of the country. The street
lamps, like file of soldiers, with torch in
hand stretch away in long lines on either
sidewalk; the gay colored transparencies
are ablaze with attractions; the saloon
and billiard hall are brilliantly illumin-
ated; music sends forth its enchantment; :;
the gay company begin to gather to the
haunts and houses of pleasure; the gam
bling dens are afame with palatial splen-
dor; the theatres are wide open; the mills
of destruction are grinding health, honor,
happiness, hope out of thousands of lives
The city under the gaslight is not the same
as under Gods sunlight. The allurements,
and perils and pitfalls of night are IA
hundred fold deeper and darker and more
destructive. Night life in our cities is a
dark problem, whose depth and abysses
and whirlpools make us start back with
horror. All night long tears are falling,
blood is streaming.
Young men, tell me how and where you
spend your evenings, and | will write out
the chart of your character and final des-
tiny, with blanks to insert your names.
1t seems to me an appropriate text would
be, Watchman, what of the nighl?'
Policemen, pacing the beat, what of the
night? Where do they spend their
evenings? Who are their associates?
What are their ha5itsp Where do they go
in, and what time do you see them come
out? Policeman, would the night life of
young men commend them to the conf
dence of their employers? Would it be
to their credit
Make record of the nights of one
week. Put in the morning papers the
names of all the young men. their habits
and haunts, that are on the street for
sinful pleasure. Would there not be
shame and confusion? Some would not
dare to go to their places of business
some would return home at night; some
would leave the city; some would commit
suicide. Remember, young men, that in
the retina of the all.seeing Eye there is
nothing hid but shall be revealed on the
last day.-BaptiSt Weekly.

APPEARANCES ARE DECEIvING.--A

and remarked, " have been worse sold

CARE OF TIE EYES.-In recent treat
ise on the exercise and preservation of
the eyesght. Mr.. Robert Brudenell Carter,
an English professor of pathology and
surgery, has given to the general public
the results of long and laborious investiga-
ton, aided by constant opthalmic practice
MS surgeon to st. Georges hospital. Mr..
Carter protests against the popular prcju-
dice as 10 the hurtful effect of wearing
glasses. That there is no harm in the
habitual use of convex lens is shown by
the fact that watchmakers are by compar-
ison as a class enviably free from eye dis
eases. Habitual exercise of the eye upon
fine work tends to the development and
preservation of clear sight. In treating
of the causes of near sightedness, Mr..
Carter says the defect is in some cases
hereditary. Out of ten thousand six
hundred children examined by Dr. Cohn
of Breslau, one thousand and four were
mycopic. The defect increased with in
creasing age. Bad light is hurtful to the
eye. The faulty construction of seats and
desks in school houses causing children to
stoop over their work SO as TO bring their
eyes closer to it, results in fatigue and in
accustoming the eye TO a short focus.
Sailors, soldiers. field laborers and others
accustomed to out door life and to looking
to distant objects, arc notable for long
and vigorous sight.
