The Upper and Lower Eyes.

"There are two pairs of eyes in man, and it is requisite that the pair which are beneath should be closed when the pair that are above them perceive, end that when the pa above are }, ed. those which are beneath are opened. .n The lower eyes see only the surfaces and effects, the upper eyes behold causes and the connection of things. And when we go slone or come into the house of thought and worship, we come with pur- pose to be disabused of appearances, to see realities, the great lines of our des- tiny, to see that life has no caprice or fortune, is no hopping squib, but a growth after immutable laws, under beneficent influences the most immense. The church is open to great and small in all nations, and how rare and lofty, how unaztainable, are the aims it lA- bors to set before men! We come to educate, come to isolate, to be abstrac- ionists; in fine, to open the upper eyes to the deep mystery of cause and etfe #. to know that. though ministers of jus tice and power fail, justiee and power never. The open secret of the world is the art of subliming a private soul with inspirations from the great and public and divine soul from which we tsve.- Aneroo0

For Husbands Only.

A correspondent of the Baltim ore Sun, writing from California, says: A cure for wife whipping was authorized by the last legislature of Nevada. The authorities of Austin, 8 mining town in this State, have erected whipping post to punish summarily wretches who abuse their wives by blows. We wish it were practicable to apply appropriate correction to the no less unmanly ty- ranny of unfeeling exaction and cruel words by which too many husbands keep their wives in never. ending torment. If a man had the brains he boasts he would speak ever kindly to the mother of his household. if it were only for selfish motives, Make your wife happy by tender and affectionate treatment, ane you will make your home paradisd more precious than gold and costly mansions. We admire the Hindoo par able and believe it's instruction that de- scribes a woman at the gates of heaven praying that her naughty husband might be admitted. ''He was ever kind and true to me, and if you would make me happy I must share with my hus- bandh Instantly the portals opened and the angel bade him enter. Be- cause of thy wife's prayer thy sins are forgiven. Who live in harmony on earth in heaven are not dividei."

The Irish Constabulary.

This, take it for all in all, is cert ainly one of the most remark able corps in the world.

oGood Morning. Sir."

A few months ago, says Dr. Wood, walking along Fifteenth street, l came up behind friend and said: "Good morning." No answer. "Good morn ing, sir," 8 little louder. "Oh, excuse me; I didn't hear you the first time" How then did you know had spoken twicee"
 The obvious explanation would be that he really heard him the first time and did not notice the doctor was ad- dressing him; the louder and distincter tone itself informed the listener that he was SD oken to for the second time. The doctor explains it more elaboratelJ as follows:
 On my first speaking the impulse of the voice had fallen upon his ear and started nerve-wave which had strug- gled up as far as the lower apparatus at the pase of the brain, and, passing through this, had probably even reached the higher nerve centers in the surface of the cerebrum, near to which con- sciousness resides, but not of sufficient force to arouse consciousness.

Midnight Comnany in India.

NUfrIcIne.

Attention has been called by M. Moride to new kind ot food to which the name nutricine :" has been given. Its prepar- ation is thus described: Raw meat, from which bones and tendons have been carefully excised. is passed into suitable machines along with nitrogenized ali mentary substances, such as bread, to absorb the water of the meat, and possibly to form new combinations with It. After the mass thus prepared is dried in a stove under mild heat, it is pulverized and sifted. A powder of an agreeable taste, and varying from yellow to gray in color, is the result. When albumen, fats, or gummed water is added to this powder. solid cakes or cubes may be made of it, and these solid forms may be broken up, as occasion may require, for soups or sauces. This nutricine is admirably qualified to sus- tain physical vigor, and it can be pre- served for any length of time if it is kept from the deteriorating influence of an atmosphere charged with moisture and from the action of heat.

A Winter Rhapsody.

From the frozen north comes flying forth The car of the king ot storm; And the yellow sun looks pale and wan At the sight of his gloomy form; From the snow-flled cloud he hath cast 8
 shroud
 On the fast congealing ground, And his baletul gleam on the babbling stream Hath stilled it's murmuring sound. Hark! hear his cry, as he rushes by, In the voice of the angry breeze; lis his icy breath, with the blast of death, That shrieks in the leafiess tree; With hollow moan, like demons groan, It flies OCT the sleep-hushed town; Then lashes the main till it's waves again Are topped with a foamy crown. The queen of night, with her silver light, Looks down rom her throne on high; But her beams fall slow to our realm of snow And freeze in the crystal sky; The brilliant stars have burst their bars, And approach the earth to greet, But they fade and ,hi-er their white rays
 quiver,
 At world in wind1ng-sheet. lls natures s nlgnt, and the Wear1ed sight That sees but waste of gloom, With gladlier gaze when with auckening rays Springs sun shall the earth untomb; When the noise of the rain on the frozen
 plain
 Shall alarm the sleeping flowers, And they hurst from their grave, in the
 breeze to wave,
 Aud laugh in the April showers. Like the winters rage is the pilgrimage Of man on the shores of time, For his anxious sight sees naught but night In this dim probation cline; But beyond the tomb, in the world to come, With the prize of his lie-toil won, Where 'tis ever spring be will reign as king In the light ot B quenchless sun.

Where There's a Will There's a Way :

Though troubles perplex you, Dishearten and vex you, Retarding your progress in somber array, To shrink with terror
 Is surely an error, For where there's will there's way. The task may be teasing,
 The duty unpleasing, But he who contronts it will soon win the day. Half the battle is over
 When once we discover That where there's will there's a way Misiortunes uncounted
 Are often surmoUnted, If only we quit not the field in dismay; Then one more endeayor,
 Remembering ever That where there's will there's a way.

er the great party Of the Democracy Of this State

the Democrats to repair the misfortuDes Of thelE
foes by extending them aid and comfort The ad.
diuonal fact that the means b which Messrs

Lamar boys are nothing IL not imita-

ground up in threshing machine. they
would at once run one OF their number
through tanning mill TO "see how the
old thing worked"
One of the boys had been reading
Byron's Mazeppa and he got three or
four of the boys in barn down in the
southwest part Of the town and they
concluded to play Mazeppa. From what
we can learn-not having been provided
with complimentary-the play was
rather more startling than instructive.
They got cow and about forty feet
of clothes line and number seven boy
with red hair and freckled nose TO do
the Mazeppa part, while gentle youth
of twelve or thereabout wrapped a sad

DesIecated Apples,

The new method OF rapid desiccation
of fruit which Is now followed on n large
scale in many parts Of the country, has
led to = greatimprovement in the quality
of dried frnits. and particularly of dried
apples. BY selecting the apples the pro-
duct is exceedingly white in appearance,
and while the flavor Is not quite equal
to that OF the fresh fruit, il Is far superior
to that of the dried app es rs usually
prepared. II Is said that when dried by
the rapid process the, apples may be ex-
posed to the sun for hours without
becoming discolored. The process
of desiccstion Is very simple. The
apples are peeled, cored and prop
erly sliced by machine, after which
they are placed upon trays In the dis
locating room. Here. by means of
mechanical arrangement. they are car
ricd up on one side and descend upon
tie other, when they are taken out
ready for packing. As soon as one tray
IL removed another takes lie place, so
that the operation Is continuous. During
the process the fumes Of sulphur are
used 70 bleach the fruit, but these are
so perfectly absorbed by the apples that
no odor OF sulphur can be tccted in
the drying-room. The dried fruit can
be packed in boxes, and II will keep for
long time, preserving all lis excellent
qualities. In water It swells up and
forms Jelly in she course OF few
hours. The rapidity and cheapness Of
the process. and the character of the
product. insuros for IL still wider ap-
plicalion than II has yet received.
