Jealousy.


Some poet has said that "All tor
ments Of the damned we find in only
thee, Oh Jealousy, thou tyrant of the
mind This is grandly sweeping and
magnifcently inaccurate. Any suf-
ferer from Indigestion knows to the
contrary. Indigestion the villain of
the tragedy played among the gastric
juices of the stomach can, and does
double discount the horrors of jeal-
ousY. Jealousy is often an attendant
upon the latter, and when indigestion
is removed this jaundiced companion

DEATH AND LIFE.
In MEMoRIAM JULY 18TH, 1851.

IN MEMoRIAM JULY 18TH 1851.
o Death, how sweet the thought
That this worlds strife is ended;
That all we feared and all we sought
In one deep sleep are blended.
No more the anguish of to- day
To wait the darker morrow;
No more stern call to do or say,
To brood o'er sin and sorrow.
death how dear the hope
That through the thickest shade,
Beyond the steep and sunless slope
Our treasured store Is laid.
The loved, the mourned, the honored dead
That lonely path have trod,
And that same path we too must tread,
To be with them and God.
o Life! thou too art sweet:
Thou breathst the fragrant breath
OF those whom even the hope to meet
Can cheer the gate of death.
Life is the scene their presence lighted;
Its every hour and place
Is with dear thought of them united,
1rradiate with their grace.
There lie the duties small and great
Which we from them inherit;
There spring the aims that lead us straight
To their celestial spirit.
All glorious things, or seen or heard,
For love justice done,
The helpful deed, the ennobling word.
By this poor life are won.
o Lire and Death! like Day and Night,
Your guardian task combine;
Pillar of darkness and of light,
Lead through Earth's storm till bright
Heavens dawn shall shine!

The above table. shows plainly,
like the thermometer, the effect Of
just little more money in circula-
ton. Some Of the bonds in the last
few years had been paid off and the
money put IN circulation.
Adding up the losses for these ten
years upon the nine crops as reported
by the United States Statician. and
not upon, nor by the financial law.
that "the amount of money in circu-
lation rules prices" we have the
above sum-a clear loss TO the farm
ers upon nine crops alone; besides we
have other industries which, in the
aggregate, must add half Is much
more to the losses of the tillers of the
soil; therefore the losses to the State
for the decade between 1870 and
1880, cannot be much short Of $780,.
600, 600, or about SIS, ! 600, 600 annual

nor their private debts, nor indulge
Like annuitantsin little extra luxury
"a trip from home, &c. Allowing the
State an average of 000, 900 people
for these ten years, we have an an
nual loss Of over $40 per capita, or
800 for family Of FIVE. Refine this
down and divide the sum among the
tillers Of the soil. and it viii be seen
at glance that our losses per capita
must be at least $40, or for q family
Of five $500. As proof Of this asser-
ton, ] adduce the fact that fully one
half of our population live in towns
and cities. Baltimore alone contains
more than one-third Of the popula-
tion of the State. The Tenth Census

BETRAYED THEMsELvEs.-A detec-
tive declares that men will talk and
give themselves away. Ifthey could
only hold their tongues they would
be safe. An American vessel was
mysteriously set on fire at sea and
abandoned; but the fire was smoth-
cred, and it was afterwards found
that her cargo, which had been insur-
ed for large sums, was fraudulent all
the way through, the wine casks be-
ing flied with water, etc. The sail
ors swore that the matches had been
closed, and there being no other way
Of getting into the hold the cause of
the FIRE baffied everybody. But the
captain and mate, who were both ar
rested, soon began to talk. The mate
was given to understand that the cap
tain had made confession, 20 he was
in hurry to tell all he knew to get
out Of the scrape himself; and with
the mates confession tn show thacap-
tain there was no difficulty in BRING
ing him out. The thing was SO we'll
contrived, if these men had not given
it away, it could never have been
found out. In the cooks galley, un-
der each of the four feet Of the stove,
they put round block of wood, as if
to raise the stove. Under one of
these blocks was a hole opening di-
rectly in the hold. Under the hole
was q lotsof inAammable stuff, we'll
soaked with turpentine. One day,
while the cook was out of his galley,
the captain and mate raised the stove,
took away the block. dropped light
ed match through the hole, and the
FIRE was started. These two men. not
only talked themselves into prison,
but put their employers in pretty
scrape.

How TO AVON BEING PERSONAL.
Sheridan Knowles being advised
by Sir z. Bulwer Lytton to read
Gibbons Decline and Fall, in order
to get a good plot for q new play he
had engaged to write, went, in his u.s.
ual impulsive manner, and immedi-
ately subscribed to Saunders & OF
ley's public library. Paying down
his subscription for three months, he
walked away.
Being on the eve Of going into the
country, he did not take any books
then, but on his return to London,
nearly three months afterwards, he
called and asked for the work in ques-
ton. The clerk looked over the
names, and said, "Your subscription
has expired, sir, / cannot let youhav
any books until you have paid for an
other quarter in advance.
The wrath Of the Irish dramatist
was reused, so he roundly rated the
clerk, declaring that Saunders &
Otley were q couple Of swindlers r.
One Of the partners hearing this came
forward, and reproached Mr.. Knowles
for his personal insult.
Personal, my dear SIR" said the
wit, mot a bit of tiff you are Mr..
Saunders. damn Mr.. 0tley; ifyou are
Mr. Otley, damn Mr.. Saunders
would net be personal for the world
The partner smiled at the feIicitous
retort and put Mr.. Knowles on the
free list.

IIistoric Parallels in ''Parallep' History
 From tue Hartford Courant.l
 The vote in the House on Wednesday of I25 to 9l in favor of chartering the Parallel road was, with one exception, the smallest endorsement that the House ever gave to the scheme, and if it furnishes any basis for cal culation by probabilities, it indicates an overwhelming defeat of the charter iu the Senate
 In 1867 the Railroad committee reported unanimously against the Parallel road and the lively fight that year ended in the com mittee room. the adverse report being ac- cepted without a contest. Yet 1t could scarcely be called railroad monopoly Legis- Iature that year since the same body killed the Shore Line bridge project for the year. and amended the Air Line charter to compel the building of suspension bridge, if any, instead of the desired drawbridge.
 In 1868 the Parallel road scheme "bobbed up sereneIy' again. and carried the House by ! 115 to 10. It was practically unanimous. But the Senate voted, If to ,, to continue the E matter to the next session, and thus the scheme misearried.
 In 1869 the committee reported to i against the scheme and the House voted IF to I04 against it and the Senate II to 10. This was the year when everything went against the project. Save only the 1869 rec ord the House vote of 1882 is the most dis couraging the scheme ever received there
 The three years closing with 1871 were oe ,eupiei largely with the attempts to consoli- date the New York and New Haven and the } New Haven and Hartford roads which were j defeated several times We find in our files l. no record of any Parallel road votes during that time, though it is said there was con test in 1871, the year when consolidation was voted.
