THE political prosecutions inHar-
rison county two years ago were of
this sort: A voter comes to the
polls with style Of ballot pro-
nounced illegal by statute; objec-
ton is made to the ballot being
deposited, and the judges post
pone the receiving of ballots until
the case is decided by reference to
the books; the judges are then ar
rested on the charge of commit
ting fraud. All done was that
voting was delayed, but facts prove
that no voters right was affected,
either by the act or by insufficient
time being allowed to receive all
ballots. 1t is said the charges now
made at Galveston against judges OF
election in Harrison county are
based Upon similar ground.

School-bOys ana Headaches.

Prof. Treichler has delivered lecture
before the German Association of Natur-
alists and Physicians which contains q
fact Of some interest to teachers. He
says that headache in schools decidedly
increases, until in some schools, and
notably in Nuremberg, one-third Of the
scholars suffer from it. He believes
that the cause is over intellectual ex-
ertion, caused partly by the adoption of
too MANY subjects, but principally by
the tendency to demand night-work.
The brain is then freshly taxed when its
cells are exhausted. We begin to hear
the same complaint in England, espe-
cially, from London schools, and are
tempted to believe that in some of them
an imperceptble but steady increase
in the amount OF night-work demanded
has. been going on, which is passing a
safe limit. 1t does not hurt the quick,
and it does not hurt the stupid, but it
does hurt the boys and girls who want
to fulfill all demands, and have not
quite the quickness to do it. The usual
quantity Of Latin, for example, to be
learned at night has within the last
thirty years moro than doubled, while
the pressure from parents upon the
children to learn it all has increased in
nearly the same proportion. The in
creased crowding of schools explains
much, but it does not explain this head
ache, which is not suffered by the boys
in proportion to their ill-health. The

Historic Doubts.

It has been strongly doubted whether
Joan of Arc ever suffered the punish
ment that has made her a martyr, though
details Of her execution and last mo-
ments grace the civil records Of Rouen.
Several books have been published dis
cussing the question. ABelgian lawyer
is the author Of one of these. He con-
tends that the historians who have
done nothing but copy each other in the
narratives Of her death-err exceedingly
in stating that it took place on the last
day Of May, 1473, the fact being that
she was alive and well many years after
that date. There are good grounds,
too, for believing that the pretty tale Of
Abelard and Heloise in a pure fiction.
Nobody has yet unriddled the mys-
terry of the Man in the Iron Mask, and
nobody seems likely to do so, while the
identity of the writer OF the Junius !"
letters is as far from being settled as
ever. These are two insoluble enigmas,
impenetrable mysteries that battle so
luton, and about which, perhaps, the
public has become tired Of surmises. y.
An extremely witty and characteristic
anecdote told of Beaconsfeld will bear
repetition. An adherent from distant
country brought his two sons to the then
Mr.. Disraei. and asked him to give them
word of advice on their introduction

the illustrious statesman to the elder
boy, sswho was the man who wore the

The Sanctuary.

Nothing brings us so much into the
spirit Of purity and holiness; nothing
makes us feel SO near heaven; nothing
makes us SO much like God, as the sane
tuary. Out Of the sanctuary flows the
stream of purity and holiness into our
afnailies, into the closet, and from these
out into our business over all of life.
Thus, everywhere the Christian goes he
carries with him the strength, preserya-
ton and sanctifying power Of the sane
tuary; thus its holy stream supplies
and purifes him till he shall sleep to
awaken in the complete likeness of his
God. Well may we exclaim, ct was
glad when they said unto me, Let us
go into the house Of the Lord. +"

Say saTick.0

The following example illustrates in an
amusing manner the absurdity of the
ancient rule for 'sninding the stops in
reading:
E A country schoolmaster, who found it
difficult to make his pupils observe the
difference, in reading, between comma
and full point, adopted plan which
he hattered himself would make them
profcients in the art of punctuation. It
was this:
threading, when they came to COM
ma, they were to say tick; when they
came to semicolon, they we're to say
tick, tick; to colon, tick, tick, tick, and
when to full point, tick, tick, tick, tick.
Now, it SO happened that the. worthy
master received notice that the parish
minister was to pay visit of examination
to his school. As he was, Of course, de-
srous that his pupils should show off to
the best advantage, he gave them an
extra drill the day before the examine
ton. \. 49,
Now" said he, addressing his pupils,
"when you read before the minister to-
morrow you may leave out the ticks,
though you must think them as you go
along, for the sake Of elocution.
So far, so good. The next day the
minister was ushered into the school
room by the master, who, with smiles
and bows, hoped that the training Of the
pupils would meet his approval.
Now it so happened that the first boy
called up by the minister had been
absent the preceding day, and in the
hurry the master had forgotten to give
him his instructions how to read. The
minister asked the boy to read q
chapter in the Old Testament, which he
pointed out. The boy complied, and in
his best accent began:
'sAnd the Lord spake into Moses, say.
ing tick, speak unto the children o.
Israel, saying tick, tick, tick, and thus
shalt thou say unto them,. tick, tick
tick, tick This unfortunate exhibition
acted like shower-bath on the pool
master, while the minister and his
friends almost died of laughter.

Many of our boarding houses unques-

but it is our opinion that if good diges-

ton, we should hear far less complaining
from those who patronize public tables.
In private family the sufferers have no
one to blame but themselves if things do
not taste good, and they are consequent
~ more apt to find out that their want Of
appetite is due to some defect in them

What Has Been.

Our youthful illusions linger with us
still, to certain extent, sworld-wOrn
though we are. The friends Of our
childhood stand forth boldly in our
memory. None other were half SO true,
SO kind, SO witty, SO clever. There was
that sweet young poet who might have
become second Tennyson, If only he
would have condescended to give his
music to the world, but who preferred
instead to inscribe his matchless gems
in albums and the ike-how devoutly
we believed in him how profoundly
we admired him The other day we
turned up batch of his lucubrations,
and re-read them with the light of thirty
years in between. We found them sick
" in tone, false in sentiment, haling in
their feet, and OF impure or femin Inc
rhymes. And we were foolish enough
to regret that the illusion of years had
been shattered! What boundless
wealth with his $4,000 year had the
Cresus OF our modest village! We
have since known men only tolerably
well off on $40, 000-men who envied
their, neighbors who had $40, 900, and
thought themselves poor by comparison.
The local beauty of our young days
would, we are very sure, prove herself
to have been an addressed, simpering,
milliner-ike young person, could we
but see her now, with our experience of
what real, high-bred, wen-dressed
beauty is;, the clever young lady who
used to talk in hexameters, who con-
fessed in Latin and was suspected of
Greek, and whose learning we took to
be as deep as the sea, would turn out to
be only voluble young blue stocking,
who foundered boldly where she could
not swim. The Hebe of our youth
would reveal herself as the hoyden OF
our age; the self-made local scientist
with his discovery Of perpetual motion,
his balloon that would not collapse, his
locomotive that was as safe as church
he was only a poor dreamer; and the
village Hampden, whose arguments
were SO convincing, was purblind par
tisan, who never saw more than half O
any question he took up. But we SCI
nothing of all this. Memory has crys
tallized all these forms and characters
and wa see them by the light Of youth
full i'm gination even now in the twilight
of our decay, and. seeing them as w
thought they were, we love them fo
what they never have been.

MEMORY DREAMS.

4 = 4
Low down upon my couch I fell,
q Fahgued by travelling far;
I dreamed, IN one sweet magic spell,
A dream Of things which are.
Low In the western sky Of blue
I saw the sun sink down,
And throw q tnge Of reddish hue
Upon the country town
saw the herds upon the lea
Walking as in unrest,
Their soft eyes looking up to me,
Denoting love-the best.
saw below the aged mir
Which FOR many years had run,
The waters from the little rin
Commingle into one.
/ saw the weary traveller walk
Along his thorny way;
He Of his many woes did talk,
And for good times did pray
I cav the sun its rays reflect
Upon the great church spire,
And saw philosophy inspect
It's truths which never tire.
saw the races here below
Walk in their earthly sphere;
Some were dark, and some as snow,
And some were young-soIne sere.
cav the poets faces fair
All round table great,
And one did say, /" Beware, beware
OF woman who will pirate "
saw the cataract, and it's low,
Az swift as that old bird III
Which took off Ganymede in woe,
To that OF the unheard.
OF all this did dream that night,
When the sun had sunk to rest,
Did give to me grander sight
Than the beauties Of the West.
4 OF the beauties of the North and South,
And the beauties Of the East;
Of rivers from source to mouth,
All the beauties never ceased.
This did dream in one sweet dream,
As the hours sped along.
ALL memory dreams, they do seem
AS Natures grandest song.
And pensive from my couch stand,
As foolish as clown;
The woods with one welkin rang
Around the country town.
