Devout Young Robbers.

Greek brigandage is regularly Or
ganized business. A little capital for
the purchase of arms is required. Pa
pers are drawn up, in which the shares
of the captain and the men are speci-
fled. Sometimes routes are let by one
bald to another for percentage. II
proving exceptionally good in one case,
the parties came very near bringing the
affair into court on a lawsuit. Death to
the captive is almost certain il the ram
som is not paid. A ransom which was
once on its way from Constantinople
was stolen from the messenger by an
other band, but the captive was killed
all the same. A farmer having two
children captured could send the money
only for one, and the boy was returned.
He begged little delay, but the band
was on the move and could not wait.
The little girl was found afterward with
a stab in her heart and wild flowers in
her hand. These robbers never drink
wine, never neglect their religious du-
ties, always cross themselves before eat
ing, and never omit the numerous fast
days the Greek Church insists upon.
Some are well read, one leading scoun-
drel always travels about with small
library.

A Boy in Command.

When General Bonaparte first came
among Us We were furious with the Di-
rectorate for having sent boy to COM
mand US. ct should be remembered
that at this time Napoleon was only
twcnty-six years of age.) He was a
short, acknowledging, thin youth,
and the army was seriously discomfort
ed with having such boy placed in the
chief command, while generals like
Augereau and Massena were placed
under him; but they soon felt the iniiu-
ence of the young generals genius in
establishing order among them, and
after the battle of Montenotte, when
Napoleon, on the following morning,
visited the hospitals, and addressed
words Of encouragement to every
wounded soldier, and saw himself that
his wounds were dressed, and his fail
ing strength revived by suitable nour.
ishment, kind OF magic confidence in
him came over the spirit of the soldiers.
which the subsequent victories of Diego
and Mossemo, following soon after that
of Montenotte, kindled into spirit of
enthusiasm. - Temple Ban.

The British Rougl,,

The British rough is probably actu.
atsd less by spirit Of cruelty and in
Justice than by misguided sense of
humor. Suffering, human and animal,
has for him comic side, and lie takes
his pleasure in kicking woman or tor
turing cat. An incident at q fire, as
reported by street loafcr, aptly illus.
trates the feeling which seems TO ami
mate this class. "On the roof" said
he, to friend. twas an old man amonc
the flames, Jump, you stoopid,' said,
and jump he did and broke his blessed
neck. ! never laughed so much in all
my life." The jest is q brutal one, but
unfortunately it indicates the frame of
mind OF the scoundrels who perpetrate
those outrages.

poor are fed
May the heroes of the harvest fields have bless
ings on their head
Let earth'a millions all be grateful for health
and daily read.
We zee the God of nature in bounteous love
bestowing
In eyory year of life, we reap the seed we have
been sowing,
Till our barns are filled with plenty, and our
cups are ovelllowing.
We have entered on calling that will never
know defeat;
For honor and for daily bread we work in sum-
mer's heat
Eyer reaping golden harvests Of the finest Of
the wheat
May the days OF war and carnage and cruel
strife be o'er
And temperance, truth and righteousness ex-
tend from shore to shore,
Gathering in the sad and sinful to be pure for
evormorel
And whom we send the bread of life to nations
o'er the eea,
May we praise the Lord with thankfulness for
blessings pure and free

Skin Grating,

Hitherto in skin grating it has only
then possible 10 use skin or mucous
membrane which had been taken from
the living. DIR. j. Fl. Girdner, of New
York city, has, however, succeeded in
removing a portion of the skin of a
German who had committed suicide six
hours before, and in engrafting it on
the arm of child which had been
struck by lightning. The gratis took
we'll, and the result was that the child
was much less dis6gured than might
have been expected, considering the
nature of it's injuries. Speaking on the
subject, DIR. Girdner says:
1t seems to me that any one who has
witnessed, as I have done repeatedly,
skin taken from the dead body several
hours after death return again to life,
adhere to o granulating surface and
with surprising rapidity send out pro-
longations of delicate skin in all direc-
tions, covering the surface with q new
skin comparatively free from contrac-
tion, must agree with me that skin
grating is in its infancy, and that when
men of ability have given it more atten-
tion and found out the possibilities of
the proceeding, we may expect to see
frightfully contracting cicatrices which
follow burns and n@vi removed by ex-
cision, and their places filled with a
skin almost as perfect as the surround
ing, and which has been removed from
the dead or living body of another

A Bad state Of ThIngs.

n bad state ot Ihtnkss
An old missionary once said to Rev.
John Waugh:
Years ago set out to labor in In
diana. A friend, who had been long
resident, was with me to give me such
information as might be necessary. /
remarked that the land around us was
low and poor quality.
"True," said he, Z" but wait little,
and / will show you as handsome
prairie as God ever made"
We rode on, and gradually the land
spread out before us, rich in its soil and
beautiful in it's carpet of verdure.
"Do you see," ssid he, g that brick
house yonder q

We'll, the owne- ing in it has had
two sons hung You see that stone
houseg
+" Certainly"
"You may think it remarkable, but
the builder of it, who lives there, ,phas
two sons in the State prison. You can
not fail to see that house on the lefty'
ct do"
"Well, the resident of that has had
son hung. Further on, do you see
that grove and that house pretty well
set back I"
"Yes."
"The man living there has son in
the State prison. Over there you can
see another residence"
eyes"
&c You may think it incredible, but
the man living there has also had son
hung"
The facts stated led me to ask my in
formant;
"How came these things to happen ?
The record is black as any | have ever
heard. Do give me the explanation"
"I will do so in brief. When / set
tied on the other side of the marsh
those people settled there. The land,
as might have been forseen, proved
very productive. They cultivated corn,
wheat, oats, and planted orchards. The
markets paid good prices. They soon
came to be wealthy. The grain mar
keted in the fall left them little to do
in the winter; so they gave themselves
up to dissipation. They built neither q
church nor school-house. Their chill
dren grew up idle, ignorant and vicious.
Their apples were turned into cider,
and their winter evenings were given up
to conviviality. Soon cider was not
strong enough, and other intoxicants
came into use. They had frequent par
ties, and these parties meant dancing.
and the dancing meant drinking, and
the drinking meant drunken revelry,
the drunken revelry q fight, and the
fight meant too often q murder. These
are but the outlines. I need not en-
large upon the particulars.

A Mild Winter Predicted.

A mild winter is being predicted by
sonae meteorologists. AS the excessive
heat of the summer is attributed to the
increase of solar radiation, and that in
crease is due to violent disturbances
and the suns atmosphere, where spots
of vast magnitude, following period
of quiescence, began to show them
selves in May, and have continued
since, it is argued that the temperature
in Arctic latitudes is and will continue
to be above the average, and that com
paratiyely mild currents OF air will be
waited down upon us during thewinter
months.

Mouth Breathers.

DIR. Wagner says that habitual mouth
breathers can be at once recognized, as
the practice stamps itself indelibly on
the physiognomy. The retracted lips,
open mouth, receding gums, protrud-
ing teeth, diminished size of the orifces
OF the nostrils, the wrinkles of the
outer angles of the eyes, nd the lines
extending from the wing@ of the nose
to the angles of the mouth, give the
person addicted to this habit silly
and sometimes idiotic expression. The
nasal ducts, being vacated, like disused
roads that grow up in grass and weeds,
become the seat of polypus and other
diseases; the sense of smell is greatly
weakened 80 altogether lost.

The American United Presbyterians
are about to establish an institute ia
Sealkote, India, with literary and theo-
logical courses extending over nine
years, five years preparatory and four
years in the seminary course proper.
The reports from the camp-meetings
held during the past summer speak as
rule of good attendance, weli.be-
haved audiences, and excellent preach

sidered proportioned to the numbers in
attendance.
The Methodist Episcopal church has
