How iOItaire cured the Decay OF His
Stomach.


!, In the memoirs of Count Segur"
mere Is the following anecdote: my
mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire respecting her health,
1ld hmm that the most painful feeling
she had arose from the decay in her
stomach and the difficulty of finding any
And OF aiiment that it could bear. Vol
.alre, by way of consolation, assured her
mat ~ he was once for nearly year in
lne same state, and believed to be in
carabie, but that nevertheless a very
SIMPLE remedy had restored him. It
consisted In taking no other nourishment
IMAM yolks of eggs heated up with the
nour OF potatoes and water" Though
TINS circumstance concerned so extraor-
binary a person as Voltaire, it is aston
ishing how little it is known and how
rarely the remedy has been practiced. Its
elheacy, however, in cases of debility,
can not be questioned; and the follow
lngis the mode of preparing this valu-
apA article of food as recommended by
SrJohn Sinclair: Beat up an egg in a
bow and then add six tablespoonful of
coli water, mixing the whole well to-
geder; then add two tablespoonfuls of
tarna of potatoes; let it be mixed thor
ou9ly with the liquid in the bowl
Tha pour in as much boiling water ms
wilconvert the whole into a Jelly, and
mint we'll 1t may be taken alone or
wit the addition of a little milk in case
of stomachic debility or consumptive
disrders. The dish is light and easily
dissted, extremely wholesome and
norishing. Bread or biscuit may be
tain with it as the stomach gets
stDnger.

DEAR GRANDMOTHER.

Grandmother PAGES with stately tread rr.
Forward and back through.the quaint old room;
Out of the freight, dancing and red,
Into the gathering dusk and gloom
Forward and back, in her silken dress
With its falling rufflles of frost-like lace;
look of the deepest tenderness:
In the faded lines of her fine old face.
Warm on her breast in his red night gown
Like scarlet lily the baby lies, - IL
While softly the tired lids droop down
Over the little sleepy eyes. att..r
Grandmother sings to him sweet and low,
And memories come with the cradle song
OF the days when she sang it long ago,
When her life was young and her heart was
strong. ---...
Grandmother's children have left her now;
The large old house is shadowed place;
But shining out in the sunset glow
or her life, like star, comes the baby's face,
He lies where of old his father lay;
Softly she sings him the same sweet strain,
Till the years Intervening are swept way,
And the joy of life's m orning Is hers again.
Grandmother's grey head is bending low
over the dear little downy one;
The steps of her pathway are few to go;
The baby's journey is just begun.
Yet the rosy dawn of his childish love
Brightens the evening that else were dim;
And in after years from her home above,
The light Of her blessing will rest on him.

ANTWERP AND ITS CATHEDRAL-DRESS,
MANNERS, AND CUSTOMS OF THE BEL
CLANS.
In journeying from the later civiliza-
tiOn of our new land to the other hemi-
sphere, with its more mature civiliza-
ton. one jumps, without any premoni-
tory symptoms, into totally different
kind of land and people from that to
which he has been accustomed. A
lengthy ocean voyage has only the in
cidents that may transpire in his little
floating world, and the outside expe-
riences, SO far as the wide waters are
concerned. has no finger-boa rds or
land marks to show him this transition
from one land to another, such as one
meets in travelling by land conve yances,
30 this sudden change from one utilita-
rian country, full of young life and
vigor, into the old world, with the ac-
cumulatiOn of centuries work and
progress, comes SO abruptly after a
lengthy sea voyage, only memorable
for its monOtomy, that it produces an
effect novel in the extreme.
The destination of our vessel was
Antwerp, the commercial city and port
of Belgium. My first sight of the old
world, save the exception of moist,
unpleasant glimpse of the south coast
of England and the Char.nel Islands
through dense fog, was the town oil
Flushing or Flessingen as the Belgians
call it, a prim old town at the mouth O1
the River Scheldt, where it empties
into the North Sea. Here lies this
old place, which away back three Oh
four hundred years was then an old
town, and Marlborough, with his vete-
rams, knew 1t we'll, when the army in
Flanders was conspicuous in the an
nails of English history. Curious looked
to me those quaint old gabled houses
with their red-tiled roofs, and the SQUAT.
ty churches with their heaven piercing
spires, and the inevitable wind-milis,
with which one is familiar in an old
Dutch picture, or better, that one re-
members as figuring SO consloicuously
in that memorable battle of Don Quix-
ote and the Giants, which we know
were these same wierd old wind mills,
and the solitary prim looking willows
standing quietly and sedately outlined
on the horizon, like 80 many sentinels
along the dykes, watching tf.eir hered-
itary foe, the sea. Such appeared Flush
ing to me.
From this staid old place to Antwerp
the distance is about 40 miles by the
way of the River Scheldt, a sluggish,
uninteresting stream, with its low lying
banks, Its occasional Dutch and Belgian
villages, tfor on one side lies Holland
and the other Flanders,) its prim will
lows and ludicrous wind mills. A sail
of five or six hours brings us in sight OF
Antwerp. The first indications Of our
approach to the old city Is the sight OF
the splre OF its famous Cathedral, point.

COMING HOME.

II am coming home." These were the words,
sweeter than sweetest song of the birds,
read, writ by loving hand
The loving hand of one afar,
Sojourning where old cities are
The glory of a distant land.
How slowly passed the days away!
OFT. when alone my lips would say
His name, and when my feet would roam
The pleasant old familiar ways
or woodland on bright Summer days,
I'd murmur low:-"Hes coming homew
And 5hen the Winter nights were here,
And Ill the earth Vas bleak and drear,
And hailstones ratified on the pane,
While fierce the wind blew hoarse or shrilI
Ger valley land or barren hill,
The sound heard bore one refrain
'I'm coming homeW That was the sound
''I'm coming! I am homewar bound!
Tll soon return from distant sea!
And then, dear heart. no more shall lie
The oceans deep immensity,
Its desert waste tween you and n.e.''
AS yet the storm would bring me fear,
And sometimes Danish hope and cheer,
For we'll knew that wrecks were found
On oceans waste-that ruin lay
sometimes across the trackless way
OF loved ones who were homeward bound.
Yet Heaven was surely good to me,
For one bright day In June the sea,
Wild with its waves and white with foam,
Sent back to me him who had penned
That precious line-my dearest friend
Who wrote those words :-"Im coming
home"
And now whenever walk the shore,
Aud listen to old oceans roar,
And view the wondrous depth profound.
1 think of those who have friends at sea,
And pray the absent ones may be
Soon safely coming, homeward bound.

To q stranger the means of locomo
ton and freightage are interesting a,
well as the quaint costumes of thu
people. The wagons are decidedly
cumbersome and unwieldy, and are
drawn by immense Percheron horses
the finest dYaught horses I ever saw
In glaring contrast to these big wagons
loaded with immense hogsheads and
boxes, and drawn by three huge horses
are the carts of the baker, the butcher
the mi!kman. and others of the smaller
crafts, for they are drawn by dogs, large,
patient, go0d-natured looking fellows,
who seem discOntented with their lot in

service has rendered them submissive.

We of our boasted republican country,
where, unfortunately, we have too many
liberties, are disposed to commiserate
those people, who have a king to rule
over them. There are countries where
they are to be pitied, but such is not the
case in Belgium, for the people seem 10
be happy and contented, and enjoy ap-
parently as many privileges as we do.
They have great respect for King Leo.
pOld, who, they say. is sociable and by
no means an autOcrat of the Alexander
order.
The necessity of all European coun-
tries to keep standing army, forces
Belgium to do as her neighbors, and for
that reason the conscript laws and the
taxes for tile support of the large stand
ing army is burdensome. With that
exception. the people seem to enjoy as
many benefits and privileges as we do.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans
do" is an old adage. but there are excep-
tions. By example: On one occasion,
in company With friend, I entered q
restaurant, and taking our seats, my at
tention was called to party of five or
six of both sexes at table near me
drinking beer and eating what I sup
posed to be boiled chestnuts. My friend
informed me that they were stewed
snails, and on closer examination found
such to be the case. They dexterously
extract the whilom Shiny creature from
its shiny home on the point of pin,
and judging by the. gusto with which
they ate them, enjoyed the delicate
morceaux intensely. Another article of
diet eaten are muscles, identical with
the muscles that are to be found along
our rivers, and are cooked AS we do oys-
ters. Can speak from personal expe-
rience of their appetizing qualities.

A NAME IN THE SAND,

Alone walked the ocean strand,
pearly shell was in my hand;
I stopped and wrote upon the sand
Ny name. the year and day.
AS onward from the spot passed
One lingering look behind cast
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed nay lines away.
And SO methought''twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from me-.
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore,
OF time. and be to me no more;
OF me, my day. the name 1 bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands
And holds the water in His hands,
know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these deeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.

BY FATHER RYAN,

THE SOUTHERN SOLDIER BOY.
BY FATHER RYAN.
Young as the youngest who donned the gray,
True as the truest who wore it
Brave as the bravest, he marched away,
(Hot tears on the cheek of his mother lay).
Triumphant waved our flag one day,
He fell in the front before it.
Firm as the f1rmest, where duty led,
He hurried without falter;
Bold as the boldest, he fought and bled,
And the day was won-but the field was red,
And the blood Of his fresh young heart was
shed
On his country's hallowed altar.
On the trampled breast of the battle plain,
Where the foremost ranks had wre,stled,
On his pale, pure face not mark of pain,
(His mother dreams they will meet as,ain),
The fairest form mid all the slain,
Il Like child asleep-he nestled.
The field where his comrades found him,
They buried him there-and the hot tears crept
Into strong mems eyes that had seldom wept,
(His motherhood pity her--smiled and slept,
Dreaming her arms were around hfm.l
A grave in the woods with the grass o'ergrown,
A grave in the heart of b is mother
His clay in the one lies lifeless and lone;
There is not name, there is not stone
And only the voice of the wind maketh moan
Ger the grave where never flower is strewn,
But his memory lives in the other.

doings of the Methodist clergymen Of

not look very well in print. the min
listers declare that the reporters mis-
represent them, and have appointed
a committee to confer with the editors
on the subject. One of the ministers.
however, remarked at the meeting
when the matter was being discussed,
that ''the difficulty is not with the
reporters, but with the carelessness
and thoughtIessness of the speakers.
This is usually the case when public
speakers. whether laymen or clerioals,
find fault with the published reports
OF their sayings. Tbs trouble is, the
reporters are too faithful in their
reports.
