Where is My Boy Tonight?

MT. Moody tells the following story about the hymn Where is my Wander ing Boy To-night2"
 "When I was in Baltimore we used to sing this hymn quite often, and there was lady in the congregation one day who heard the hymn, and she had boy away off in the Rocky Mountains that was wanderer; and she sat down after she got home and wrote him letter, and copied this little hymn and sent it to him. Only few weeks after, or a few months after, she heard that her boy had perished out there for want of water; an5, in the cleft of rock near where he died out there, they lound an unfinished letter that he had written to his mother, thanking her for this hymn, and stating that he was in hopes her prayers would be answered and her wan dering boy would be saved. It is the only comfort she has now, and it might have been that letter or that hymn that reached his heart away out there. and when dying on the Plains, God blessed him." The mother of this young man is one of the best-known ladies in Balti- more. The hymn so touched her that she tainted one day in Dr. Backus's church during one of MT. Moody's meetings, where it was sung. She wrote the letter, as stated, and has in her possession the incomplete note written in reply by her son before he died.

ssOh, in 1867 we began to go down. Afserward utter ruin came upon us. The oilwells stopped flowing, and we were ruined. They took down the Duncan HoH' e and moved it over to Oil City, ana the Chase House, which cost $60,- coo. was sold for $6G. Many men burnt ur Aheir houses in 1867 to get the insur- ance, until no insurance company would talaa a risk in Pithole. In fact, every be1y left Pithole as rats leave sinking sip. The people who ran away from PiShole built up Shambury, Titusville, Ol City and Tidioute.
 walked around Pithole. as once walked Pompeii. The city is literally deserted. The houses are all tottering or 4allen. Window panes are gone. No paiater or gInzier has been seen here for ten years. Fourth street, once thriv- ing business street, has entirely disap- peared. Kings hardware store has gone, the Record office has disappeared, thesidewalks have rotted away, and bar ren desolation meets me on every side. sOn the hill, where the Atheneum used to be filled with shouting audience who gathered to throw money at the feet of Maud Santley and score of Black Crook dancers, could see piles of po- tafo vines, where the farmer had dug hig crops. Where Murphy'sl Theatre oIce stood, and where the manager often took in as high as $2,000 during an evening, are punches of burdocks and two old sandstones which denoted the corners.
 How many families are here now ?" asked MT. Johnson, as looked around aS the ruins. -...
 Three-only three; and still we represent all tho political parties in the field. I'm Democrat, Ferguson is & Greenbacker, and Hunter is RepubH- can. Don't often happen, does it, that founder of a city can take you around and shew you the ruins that he built himself? I tell you-why darn it, of course nobody doubts but the Collis- scum and Pantheon are grand old ruins, but when you talk about young ruins splendid young ruins-Pithole can buck up 'ginst any on lem P .t.

Nice Sweet Lard.

A Farmers Wife" of Randolph, Yt., writes to the World: "Nice sweet lard is very important item in household, and to prer are it so that it will keep fresh and good requires knowledge of the modus operandi. The leaf lard and that from other portions should be tired out separately. The latter should be ussd in cold weather and while it is new, as it acquires rank flavor If kept long. The lard needs to be cut up in small bits, not over two inches square, and put into cold water to soak, either over night or some hours, so as to cleanse it from tho blood. Always cook the lard in an iron kettle and let it try slowly, and stir often, SC it will not settle down and stick to the bottom of the kettle and scorch. When the scraps become light brown color and grow brittle, remove the kettle to cool place. Let 1t stand ten or fifteen minutes, and then strain through thin cloth strsiner. After tue scraps are all dipped out into the strainer take pair of squeezers (made of two pieces of wood cut like large butter paddle and tied together with stout cord so as to get pressure), put the strainer with the scraps between these and press all the larj out. find ham bag nice thing for strainer to strain lard, tallow or jeIlies through, as it is g most convenient form to handle and quite the thing for such purposes. If you strain the hot lard into tin pans or buckets care must be observed to have it set in either a pan of snow or cold water, otherwise it Is liable to become unsoldered and spoil the dish besides wasting the lard. When the lard IS cool put it in either covered bucket or stone jar, SD as to exclude the air, and you will have no further trouble about if. If you buy your lard and there is strong taste in it put it in an iron kettle and cut half a pound of salt pork in thin sli .es and let it, fry to crisp in the kettle; it will sweeten the lard and make it keep"

MY LITTLE LOVE.

My little love, your sunny curls are golden;
 And, pretty one, your laughing eyes are blue, How strange to have lover gray and olden,
 Whose years are many but whose heart Is true Listen, my little love, and I shall tell Why I love my little darling so well. For many years ago, so runs the story,
 held softly yielding hand in minei In her bright eyes there was the self-same glory
 Of loveliness and truth I find in thine. If you were ter, dear one, you could guess That Living her, could not love you less. My child, tis beautiful to live over
 The sweetness of loves perfume never dies. You arc my loved one; am still lover
 find her soul reflected in your eyes, And she is looking on us from above. Then kiss your grandpapa, my little love!

The Heart as q Machine.

The heart is probably the most eff cient piece of physical apparatus known. From 9 purely mechanical point of view it is something like eight times as eff cient asafhe best steam engine. It may be deseribei, mechanically, as & little more than double force pump furn- ished with two reservoirs and two pipes of outflow ; and tho main problem of its action is hydro-dynamical. The left ventricla has Q capacity ot aboat three ounces 1t beats 75 times minute ;and the work done in overcoming the resist ance of the circulating system is equiva- lent to lifting it's charge of blood g little short of ten feet (9.923 ft). The aver age weight of the heart is little under ten ounces @ 39 oz). The daily work of the left ventricle is, in round numbers, ninety-foot tons ;. adding the work of the right ventricle, the work of the en- tire organ is nearly one hundred and twenty-five foot-tons The hourly work of the heart is accordingly equivalent to lifting itself twenty thousand feet an hour.
 An active mountain climber can av- craze one thousand feet of ascent an hour, or one. twentieth the work of the heart. The prize Alp engine Bavaria, !" lifted it's own weight, 2. 2.700 feet an hour, thus demonstrating only one-elghth the efficiency of the heart. Four clements have to be oonsidersl estimating in the hearts work ]: CD tae statical pressure of the blood column equal to the ani- malls height, which has to be sustained; (2) the force consumed in overcoming the intertia of the blood-veins; (3) the resistance offered by the capillary ves- sells; (4 the friction in the heart itself. This, in state of health, is kept-at it's minimum by the lubricated serous mem- brane of the pericardium.

Assaulting Emper0rs.

Gonzales, who fired the shot at King Alfonso, made no resistance to arrest. His act was ore of audacity. Brief as is the time that King Alfonso has ruled over Spain, he has been shot at twice, the previous attempt, that of Moncasi. occurring in October of 1878, while his predecessor, King Amadeus, was the subject of an attempted assassination in 1871. Germany, Russia, Italy, and Spain have had rare experience in at- tempts at king killing during the years 1878 and 1879. There have been, since May, 1878, two different attacks on En- peror William, two on the Czar, one on King Humbert (not including the recent firing on his hunting party), and two on King Alfonso.

Frees on the Prairies.

The outcome of Judge Caton's study of the question why there is no timber on the native prairies of this country is that the absence of forests on our prai- ries at 8 given historical epoch is main. ly chargeableto purely fortuitous causes. He does not hesitate to endorse the pop ular opinion, which has for some time been discredited among scientists, that among the most important of the denuding causes is fire, although the exhaustion of the soil and it's replenish- ment with particular elements have doubtless had some influence. He points out peculiar obstacle to the re- growth of trees after their combustion in these localities. The hard. impene- trable character of the sward formed by most of the herbaceous vegetation of the prairies is serious impediment 10 the gernination of arboreal seeds when by accident they fall upon it. The diffi- culty is mechanical, not chemical. The immense profusion of strong roots with which the prairie herbs are furnished form complete mat on the surface of the ground, and penetrate to great depth. It is this extraordinary system of capillary feelers which enables the herbaceous vegetation not only to sur. vive the action of fire, but to remain green and vigorous during the long droughts, which occur so much more frequently on the prairies than in the timbered lands and in mountainous countries. These long droughts un- doubtedly exert their influence also to prevent the fecundat1on of arboreaI seeds on the prairies, or to destroy the young plants, or at least to prepare them for certain destruction when the autumnal fires sweep over them. This explanation of the absence of trees is further supported by Judge Caton's as. surance that, wherever the fires have been kept from the groves of the set tiers, these plantations have rapidly en. croached upon the prairies. This fact he regards as conclusively established by careful observation through more than thirty five years, during which he has been an eyewitness of the settle ment of the Western country.

IT IS THE intention of the Empress Eugenie so to time her visit to Zululand that she may be on the spot where her son met his death on the anniversary of that sad event, the 1st day of June. Lieut.. Carey will not be detailed as her escort in that sad pilgrimage, but the duty will devolve upon Sir Evelyn Wood, for whom Prince Louis had conceived a great regard during the latter's short career in Zululand.

ON certain occasion Edward Everett visited the composing room of the Bos- ton Ad0ert5ser at 8 late hour to read 8 proof of an oration which he had failed to see at an earlier hour. Ex- tremely particular about his style, he was altering sentences and making addi- tions while the forms were waiting, which so irritated the foreman that he roared out: "Cut it short, Everett confound it, cut 1t short. There's no time now for patching up bad English. D

There is story of a nobleman who, when his purse was demanded, said to the highwayman all right, but who's that fellow looking over your shoulder, and straightaway shot the fellow dead as he turned to see. MT. Thrupp, now experimenting an Anglo-Italian rail road contract near Naples, is chip of this block apparently. When brigands stopped him the other night he pret end ed to putt his hand on rev olver, though he had none, and when told to remove it or he would be shot, continu ed to par ley with his assailants until the oppor- tune arrival of the diligence put shem to flight.

AFTER FORTUNE. - The Hydes of Maryland, as the descendants of Thomas Hyde, who landed at Annapolis in 1752, have great expectations. They have organized themselves with view to working up their claims to twenty or more estates in England, estimated as worth from $6O, 1000, ,OOO to $60O, 900, ,O0O. At family council held in Baltimore last week, mass of documentary evi- dence was read, and George A. Hyde, of New York, was empowered to visit Eogland and to begin operations in the courts.

the day-the piercing of the Isthmus of Panama by ship canal.
 To be sure we have our own political disturbances, but they ara trivial compared with those of the other great nations of the world. The open ing of the New Year witnesses trouble in the West with our Indian tribes and in the East with the political parties of Maine but serious and long g-continued difficulty will undoubtedly be avoided in the first instance by the use of the strong arm of the law in the other, 1t is to be hoped, by the strong common sense of the people.
 With so much to be thankful for in the past year and with so many smiling promises brightening the contemplation Of tho cGrcipg twelvemoath, we eau well afford to wish each other " a happy New Year" with reasonable grounds for believing that the wish will be fulfilled. The year is all before us; it appears rich in golden opportunities. Shall they be so used as to insure the realization of all that they seem to promise ? Let us hope that they may be so and that pros perity may mark tho year from end to end that .-..-. .

since DR.. Clark, of Troy, published a series
of political articles or pamphlets, in which
he demonstrated the un6tness of women for
exercising the right of voting, by urging,
among other things, their lack of invention,
insisting that to the better sex has not been
given, apparently, the power to invent any of
the numberless household appliances which
have found their way into American homes.
The subject has recently been discussed, and
it is mentioned that women obtain from the
United States Government an average of
about sixty patents yearly; seventy is the
number for the year ending July, 1880. AS
might be expected, most of them relate to
Tightening women's work. Among them are
a jar-lifter, bag holder, pillow sham hold
er, a dress protector, two dustpans, a washing
machine, a futing iron, dress CART fish
boner, sleeve adjuster, lap table, sewing
machine treadle, a wash basin, an iron heat,
er, sad irons, garment stifener, folding
chair, wardrobe bed, window cleanser, q
napkin clothes-pin, weather strip, a churn
an invald's bed, strainer, milk cooler, q
sofa bed, dipper, paper dish and plait
ing device. In recent patent lawsuit, g
woman (Helen M. McDonald) conducted hel
own case and won it, establishing her right
to her skirt protector, planting an injunction
on bold Infringement, and utterly routing
one of the most distinguished of the paten
law barristers.
