Severe ON the Minister.
From the Rochester Herald

Among the inmates Of the county insane
asylum is a man who is often perfectly sensi-
BILE, and when accosted at such times causes
visitors to wonder why he is confined there.
This inmate entered into conversation the
other day with caller whose dress pro-
claimed him q clergyman. Said the mad
man:
at was 700 bad, was it not, the killing of
Grant at Chicago?"
1T was" said the minister, who followed
the accepted custom of asserting to the state
ments of lunatics for peace sake.
Hayes was ;lssassinated at Cincinnati, was
he not ?" again asked the lunatic.
"Yes," replied the minister.
And was not Queen Victoria murdered in
her palace?" TO this query of the mailman
the clerical visitor once more answered in
the affirmative. The lunatic, with dam
nable iteration,' named one after another
dozen living royal personages, all of whom
whom the clergyman was led to admit had
been put out of the way. Finishing his
catechism, the mailman turned on the clergy
man and said fiercely: Your dress shows
you are minister, but you are the worst liar

In Favor Of New Songs.

Speaking OF music in churches, the Rev.
r. G. Seymour, of the Ruggles-street Baptist
Church, Boston "a church of Puritan type
and traditions, says: attempts have been
made to cast out the new songs and give the
old ones the full sway. They say the new
ones are too light they have not character
enough, they want something more solid.
Well, the attempt is failing You never
want to turn out the young people of the
church and make its workers exclusively
the old; nor turn out the old and make its
workers exclusively the young. Happy the
people who we'd these two, happy the peo-
pie who hold fast to the dear old hymns that
have vigor in them, and are constantly put
ting in new. These new hymns and tunes
may have the butterfys life ofa summer
season; but they make us glad while they
are here, and they wing our. thoughts of
bright experience and keep US from grove
ling"

Facts About Flour.

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to atmos-

onions or fish are kept, nor any article that
talnts the air of the room in which it is
stored. Any smell peceptible to the sense

Country and City Boys.

:. religious journal advises country boys
to avoid city boys, who, it says, are very bad.
Now. we believe that if the critic will visit
some of our public schools or go into some
Of our public play grounds on Saturday ne
will see as manly, handsome andscourteous
lot of boys as any part of America can boast
Of There are bad boys in the city; but
there are bad boys in the country, who smoke
short pipes rob orchard, S hang around dopots
and stone car windows A country boy who
comes to New York may visit the galleries
of theatres, as the aforesaid journal says
but we have seen country boys lounging
around taverns and hanging cats from apple
trees. Boys are about the same everywhere-
good, bad and not altogether bad.

THE RETURN OF THE DEAD,

, wear She had slept the sleep Of the dead,
Wien the young wife rose from her narrow bed.
She woke from her sleep with yearning love
For the husband and child she left above.
MY little soon was but ten days old
When came TO lie in the churchyard mould.
''NTv arms had held him but to my breast
When they laid me here in my lonely rest.
And nv husband dear-woe worth the day :
He wcpt and wept when they bore me away.
90 might see him once more in home,
O. might but once in his presence come;
Might rock our babe in his cradle bed,
Then would come back and rest with the dead :
Her prayer was granted. Through stone and clay
BY the might Of her love she forced her way.
With yearning love and with trembling fear
She fitted across the threshold dear.
Unseen and unhcard she wendcd her way
10 the chamber aloft where her young son lay
Ike aloud she brooded above his bed;
He shuddered and smiled at the touch of the dead.
And now must comfort my husband dear,
And dry the eyes that have wept for year.
Unseen she stands with her hands on the door
He thinks moi, knows not. hear him once more.
And the gentle tones of his low tuned voice
Made her dead heart beat and her flesh rejoice.
Full well she knew cv'ry word that he spake--
Twas poem Of love he had made for her sake
And though she lay buried year and day,
She lived in his mcm'rv for ever and aye.
lie gave her the sweet name he called her in life;
She listened and heard how he murnlured, Wife -
And vowed to be true to eternity.
20 faithful beloved, thou thinkcst Of mc!'
Unseen >hc drifted through panels of oak
And stood III his presence, nor brcathed nor spoke.
0God what Il sight her dead Eyes meet
And closer she gathers her winding sheet.
4 fair young girl by her husband side,
And her he is calling his dearest. his bride.
The dead is forgotten. thrust out of his life,
And now ha~ he weddcd another young wife.

The Last Man.
New York Express.

The late William r. Blake used to appear
in play called "The Last Man" III which
he represented the character of a man who
was the last of a society of friends who
agreed to meet and dine together annually, an
empty chair being placed for each dead mem-
Der. Ii was very touching performance,
and one in which the great comedian invari-
ably excited the sympathy of his audience.
The death, in Cincinnati, of DR.. j. L. Vattier
recalls similar society in real life. Nearly
fifty years ago seven prominent citizens of
that place formed society similar that de
scribed in the play, and DR.. Waiter. was the
surviving member. A peculiar feature Of
this society was that when it was organized
o bottle of wine was locked in a mahogany
casket, and the key thrown away, the under
standing being that the last member should
break the lock and drink the wine. 1t must
have been worth belonging to such q society,
If only for the sake of drinking bottle Of
wine over so years old.

ERH AND FLOW.

Life throbs with tides that ebb and flow,
With things that come and things that go
The mists that raise when morn is fair,
That rise and float, then melt i'll air,
Are not more transient in their stray,
Than are the hours that speed away.
For often life seems like a dream,-
so quickly flash with glance and gleam,
4 thousand things that came and go,
And cause the tides to ebb and flow.
4 sad sweet strain that's borne along
BY breath OF wind a bit of song,
\ few fond words when dear friends meet
The music of laugh that's sweet;
The sympathy that prompts sigh;
: winsone face that passes by;
Rrief joys, tha. stay their little while.
/ kindly glance loving smile.
These ever come and ever go,
And like the tides they ebb and flow.
: lovely landscape, fair and bright,
One moment seen. then lost to sight,
The gorgeous clouds at set of sun,
That crown the day when it is done,
The frosty pictures on the pane,
Ihat fade, and come, and fade again;
The curling smoke that floats away;
4 snow wreath on a winters day;
All these like waves that ebb and flow,
With ccaseless throb still come and 60.

Boston Women.
(Chicaro Times.

How noticeable many Of the Boston women
are. | have seen dozen Of them here, and
while they are each individual, they yet
have q strong generic likeness. They are all
thin and angular; all wear eyeglasses; all
dress queerly, and are very independent in
manner. They are highly cultured, intel
lectual, abound in theories and opinions, and
and are very interesting to talk to- And
how busy they are, and how full of system.
They live by rule; they have an hour and a
minute for everything; their haunting dread
is lest they lose a bit of valuable time. I
like them. They are piquaut studies; they
repay analysis. They appear to have nosenti-
ment, but they are full Of it. They keep it
for thier husbands, actual or potential. Be
meath all of their composure they are intense
and fervid and capable, when sufficiently
moved, of volcanic eruptions When the

Medicinal Effect of Onions.

A mother writes to an English agricultural
journal as follows: Twice week-it was
generally when we had cold meat minced--I
gave the children a dinner which was hailed
with delight and looked forward to- This
was a dish of boiled onions. The little things
knew not they We're taking the best medi-
cine for expelling what most children suffer
fon1s-worms. Mine were kept free by this
remedy alone. 1t was a medical man who
taught me to eat boiled onions for cold in
the chest He did not know at the time, till
| told him, that they were good for anything
else" The editor of the journal adds: a
case is now under my own observation in
which rheumatic patient, an extreme suf-
terer, finds great relief from eating onions
freely, either cooked Or raw. He asserts that
1T is by no means fancy, and he says so
after persistently trying Turkish baths, gal
vanism, and nearly all the potions and plas-
ters that are advertised as certain allevia-
tiOns Or cures"
DIR. &. w. Baliour, in the Edinburgh Medi-
cal Journal, records three cases in which
much benefit was afforded patients by the
eating of raw onions in large quantities.
They acted as a diuretic in each instance
Case first was q woman who had suffered
from large white kidney and construction
of the mitral valve Of the heart. Her abdo-
men and legs had been tapped several times,
but after using onions as above, she had been
free from dropsy for two years, although still
suffering from albuminuria Case second
suffered from heart disease, eirrhotic liver
and dropsy Case third had dropsy depend
ing on tumor of the liver In both of them
the remedy had been used with good results.
Both had been previously tapped, purgatives
and diuretics alike having failed to give re-
lief. All other treatment having failed, re-
course was had to the onions. Under their
use the amount passed steadily rose from 10
or Is ounces to rs or 100. #*'3 5Hi

Keeping the Head Clean.
from the Golden Rule. |

Keeping the head perfectly clean is great
aid to health. 4 distinguished physician
who has spent much of his time at quaran-
tine, said that person whose head was thor
oughly washed every day, rarely took con-
tagious diseases, but where the hair was
allowed to become dirty and matted it was
hardly possible to escape infection. Many
persons find speedy relief for nervous head
ache by washing the head thoroughly in
weak soda water. We have known cases al
most wholly cured in ten minutes by this
simple remedy. A friend finds it the great
est relief in cases of rose cold" the cold
symptoms entirely leaving the eyes and nose
after one thorough washing of the hair. The
head should be thoroughly dried afterward
and avoid draughts of air for little while.

Give the Boys a Chance.

The average boy is a gregarious animal
He abhors solitude and delights in the com.
pany of his fellows, though he may receive
from them nothing but kicks, hard knocks
and personal abuse. Still the spirit within
him leads him to seek this congenial society
upon every possible occasion, and to enjoy ii
he braves parental anger, hunger, cold and
darkness. Just why this is so is one OF those
mysteries which the light of science has
failed to illumine.
The wise parent should take advantage of
this natural desire for companionship and
so regulate boyish intercourse so as to salts
ty this innate desire, keeping the manner
and extent under complete control 1t is
useless to say that "My children have been
taught to obey without question" The heart
OF man is deceitful and desperately wicked,
and we do not think boy-nature differs
from Man-nature, except in intensity
Of desire and determination. The love Of
! companionship is harmless. because il is
natural, and any cndeavor to unduly cir
cumscribe or suppress this desire will surely
result i'll defeat and modification.
Many parents attempt to isolate their
children from the society of Others hoping
thereby to wcan the youthful mind from the
trivolties Of adolance and make them pre-
. iiAtuI11O ctttlA SO'S1 eAS.} tAlo tiASlAi
selves. Such a course may seem to be sue
cessiul, but some fine morning the father
awakens to the fact that he has lost a boy.
The spirit of rebellion within the lad has
has caused him to forsake home and kindred
to mix with the stirring hustle of the world.
TO carve for himself fortune and fame.
If parents would sometimes remember
that they were once young ifthey would
look back through the mists of past years
and recall their own longings and suppressed
desires, they would better understand and
appreciate the feelings of their children, and
would endeavor, on every possible occasion,
to crafty their desires for the companion
ship of those of their own age there would
be no grumbling or scolding, no cuffs or re-
buffs, if there should be occasional outbursts
of boy-nature that make the welkin ring,
and drown, for the moment, all other sounds.
Do not, we entreat, attempt to restrain or
restrict. Let nature have full vent. 1t may
rot be amiss to aid and encourage by your
own example
Something of this kind must be done,
or the boys viii be stealing down the back
stairs. and out at the side door at unseason-
able hours and for questionable purposes.
If they are denied these innocent pleasures
they will find ways and means Of gratifying
their DESIRES and in the enjoyments of stolen
sweets they loose the sweetness ofinnOcence.
