SANITARY ADVICE IN VERSE.

There's skin without and skin within,
A covering skin and lining skin;
But the skin within is the skin without,
Doubled inward and carried completely through
out.
The palate, the nostrils the windpipe and throat
Are all of them lined with this inner coat,
Which through every part is made TO extend
Lungs, liver and bowels, from end to end.
The outside skin is marvellous plan
For exuaing the drcgs of the flesh of man
While the inner extracts from the food ana the
air
What is needed the waste in his flesh to repair
While it goes we'll with the outside skin,
You may feel pretty sure abs right within;
Fer il anything puts the inner skin out
OF order, it troubles the skin without
The doctor, you know, examines your tongue
To see if your stomach or bowels are wrong
If he feels that your hand is hot and dry,
He is able to tell you the reason why
Too much brandy, whisky or gin
Ii apt to disorder the skin within
While il dirty, or dry, the skin without
Refuses to let the sweat come out.
Good people all have care of your skin,
Both that without and that within
To the FIRST you'll give plenty OF water and soap,
the last little beside water Wen hope.
But always be very particular where
You get your water, your food, and your air
For if these be tainted or rendered impure,
1t will have its effect on your blood, be sure.
The food which will ever for you he the best
Is that you like most, and can soon digest,
All unripe fruit and decsylng flesh
Beware Of and fish that is not very fresh.
Your water, transparent and pure as you think 1t,
Had better be filtered and boiled ere you drink it,
Unless you know surely that nothing unsound
Can have got to it over or under the ground.
But of all things the most l would have you be-
ware
Of breathing the poison Of once-breathed air;
When in bed, whether out or at home you may be,
Always open your window and let it go free.
With clothing and exercise keep yourself warm,
And change your clothes quickly if drenched in a
storm
For cold caught by chilling the outsil lie skin
Flies at once 10 the delicate lining within.
Ali you who thus kindly take care of your skin
And attend to its wants without and within,
Need never of cholera feel any fears,
And your skin may last you hundred years.

The Origin Of Some Of Longfellow's
Poems.

The late James T. Fields, writing
about Longfellow, said:
"As happen to know of the birth of
some of Longfellow's poems, let me di-
vulge to you few of their secrets.
The Psalm of Life came into existence
on bright summer morning in July,
1888, in Cambridge, as the poet sat be-
tween two windows at a small table in
the corner of his chamber. 1t was
verse from his Utmost heart, and he kept
it unpublished for long time. 1t ex-
pressed his own feelings at that time,
when recovering from deep affection,
and he had it in his own heart for many
months. The poem of : The Reaper
Death, came without effort, chrystallized
into his mind. The Light of the Stars
was composed on q serene and beautiful
summer evening exactly suggestive of
the poem. The Wreck Of The Hes
perls' was written the night after a.
violent storm had occurred. and as the
poet sat smoking his pipe the Hesperus
came sailing into his mind. He went to
bed, but could not sleep and wrote the
celebrated verses. 1t hardly caused
him an effort, but flowed on without let
or hindrance. On summer afternoon
in 1S49, as he was riding on the beach
The Skeleton in Armor rose as out of
the deep before him, and would not be
laid.
Zone of the best known of all of
Longfellow's short poems is Excelsior
That one word happened to catch his
eye one autumn eve in 1851, on a torn
piece of newspaper, and straightway his
imagination took fire at it. Taking up
a piece of paper which happened to be
the back of letter received that day
from Charles Sumner he crowded it with
verses. As first written down Excel
sior' differs from the perfected and pub
lished version, but shows rush and
glow worthy of its author. The story of
Evangeline' was first suggested to
Hawthorne by friend who wished to
found romance on it. Hawthorne did
not quite coincide with the idea, and he
handed it over to Longfellow who saw
in it all the elements of deep and ten
der idyl.''

THE LIGHT OF STARS.


The night is come. but not too soon;
And sinking silently,
All silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.
There is no light i'm earth or heaven
But the cold light of stars;
And the first watch of night is given
TO the red planet Mars.
Is IL the tender star of love?
The star of love and dreams?
D, MOI from that blue tent above
A hero's armor CLEANS
And earnest thoughts within me rise,
When behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield OF that red star.
o star of strength! see the stand
And smile upon mp pain;
Then beckonest with thy mailed hand.
And am strong again.
Within my breast there is no light
But the cold light of stars;
give the first watch of the night
To the red planet Mars.
The star of the unconquercd will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and rcsOlute, and still,
And calm, and seif-possessed.
And thou, too, whose r thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.
0 fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime thing it is
To suffer and be strong.
-Lonqfcllop.

The pemacratic Rcriral.

We hear great deal said b, political
writers and speakers nowadays of the
principles of Jefferson and jackson,
Democrats recurring with pride and
pleasure to the record and doctrines Of
those great leaders. and Republicans, in
many cases, trying to heap ridicule on
the Democrats for so doing. That a
careful study of the lives and political
principles of men whose influence was
paramount in determining the character
of our Government must be of value,
is evident. Why Democrats are so gen.
orally turning back to the records OF
Jefferson and jackson at this time is,
says the Newark journal, "because
they see that the people are sick and
tired OF sham Republican rule, rule
which under the name of RepublicSn.
ism is despotism of money and cen
tralized power, and which r0bs the peo-
pie in order to rule them and rules them
in order to rob them, and because they
see that for the sake of the people and
for the sake of the party nothing can be
SO wise and beneficial as genuine re-
vival of Jeffersonian and Jacksonian
Democracy.' Why should political his
tory be different from general historyl
II study Of the latter Is wise and USE
full. why not study of the former? The
study of the lives and characters of JEFF
fers0n and jackson by Democrats OF to-
day cannot fail to be beneficial in the
highest degree. Such study is sure
to make Democrats moro Democrat
ic than ever; to excite in them in
creased faith in the wisdom OF
popular Government; to awake and stir
up in them the old love for principles
and not men; to arm and equip them
more thoroughly than ever SO as to COM
bat and beat down under our feet the
Satan of Capitalization, and to gather
new hope, new courage, new strength
and new determination to wrest the
Government from the control of an or
ganization whose whole political creed,
as formulated in its acts, may be pre-
sented in one single word--sPOILs. The
reason why so-called Republicans are
just now worried about the Democracy,
and their recurrence to jefferson and
jackson, is the fear and dread of the
effect Of such study, not alone upon
Democrats, but upon independent citi-
zens of all parties. The Republicans Of
to-day are just as bitter haters of JEFF
ferson and jackson as were their FORE
fathers, the federalists. The latter
hated Jefferson and jackson with a
hatred equaled only in intensity by the
hatred Of some extreme Republicans
towards Democrats during and subse-
quent to the civil war. Let Democrats
continue to excite this hatred. The
more they preach and practice the prin-
ciples OF Jefferson, the more the people
will love them. Let the Jefferson and
jackson revival go on. The very hos
tility shown it by the Republicans, dis
guised Federalists, is the best proof
imaginable of its value and of the
wisdom of continuing and enlarging its
scope. 1t is sound policy to always
dowhat the enemy dislikes. -Nes0 HaUen

A Water.Hanl.

The old saw that consistency n 8
jewel" is regarded as afoors motto BY
our Republican opponents. They are
giving us proof Of this every day. 1t Is
useless to base any calculations as ia
what that party will do upon what II
has done. OF course it is safe to as
sumo that it win juggle with the truth
and thrust its sinuous arm into the rich
est layers Of the treasure that reposes
in the public crib, whenever it gets an
opportunity. That is part of its reli.
gion as much as it was part of the old
crows creed to steal the farmers corn.
But on all questions which rise to the
dignity of public policy, it trims its sails
TO overtake the plumber that il nearest.
We have seen it make all sorts of unholy
alliances at the Same time that it de-
claimed against the purposes of its
allies. Republican orators would scat
ter with lavish tongue glittering gen.
eralities about maintaining the public
credit, and then help their party to
stand sponsor for the most shameless
gang of regulators that now infests
any State in the Union. They preach
against the theory, but stand at the
backs of those who enforce it, inverting
the creed of those Prohibitionists who
were ''in favor of the law but agin its
enforcement" But the party has now
INDUCED even in less consistent per-
Torrance than its recent successful ef-
fort to establish the principle of repu-
diation in Virginia, though not one that
10 50 fraught with evil to the country as
its utilization with Malone and bis CO.
rascals. II has taken s'Morey'' to
its bosom. The Democrats long ago
came to the conclusion that ssthere
warn't no SIGH person." and aside
from his adopted parent, Josh Hart, no
member of that particular Morey family
has yet faced the public. But Josh
Hart, whose gore less than q year and q
half ago these Republicans were 80
yearning for, that they forced him even
to tears with the prosecutions heaped
upon him, is now . member of the Re-
publican Central Committee in New
York, one Of the newest and, Of course,
most -bonored of the recruits to that
organization. As q matter of form, and
to complete his preparation for the dis
tinction conferred upon him, Josh Hart
has been trying to find scape-goat
upon whom he might saddle the onus Of
his Morey letter, but thus far with in
different success. He was responsible
for its publication, and he defended it
a. long as there was ragged edge to
hang upon, and the Republicans are
willing to postpone his promised vindi-
cation Of himself or take him on trust,
for he is such an acquisition that they
need him now. When Dittenhoefer
came to the Morey crowd armed with
promises Of 50 consideration was it the
beginning Of bargain that has since
been consummatede Itlooks that way,
and - We can afford to be courteous,
even to our opponents. we congratulate
them upon the success Of their angling.
