battle OF life
The hymn Of the wounded, the beaten, who died
overwhelmed In the strife;
Not the jubllant song Of the victors, for whom
the resounding acclaim
or nations was lifted In chorus, whose brows
wore the chaplet of fame
But the hymn OF the low and the humble, the
weary, the broken In heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting bravely ST.

Whose youth bore no flower on its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize they had
grasped at, who stood at the dying Of day
With the work of their life all around them, UNI
pitied, unheeded. alone,
With death svooping down DER their failure, and
all but their faith overthrown
While the voice Of the world shouts its chorus, It's

While the trumpet il sounding triumphant, and
high to the breeze and the sun
Gay banners are waving, hands capping, and
hurrying feet

In the shadow, 'mongst those who are fallen,
and wounded, and dying-and there
Chant requiem low. place my hand on their

Hold the hand that is helpless, and whisper
They only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have van

Who have held to their faith unseduced by the
prize that the world holds on high;
Who have dared for high cause to suffer- resist,

Speak, History who are life's victors? Unroll
thy long annals and say

VILE, and after he had "dieted I" for
sufficient time, the following colloquy CO.
Cured: So Jones is dead ?" said one
Somerville man to another. eyes, poor
fellow" was the reply, "he's gone"
"What did he die of ?" inquired the first
speaker. Starvation" was the answer.
" Starvation Good gracious, the man
was worth $4,000" 81 know that
nevertheless, he died Of starvation. I'll
tell you how II was. Jones was always
fanoying that there was something the
matter with him so he went to doctor
one day and had himself examined, aud
the doctor informed him that he had kid.
ney disease, and that besides taking med.
icine he must diet himself. Said the
doctor: You must avoid all kinds of salt
fish, potatoes, cabbage and vegetables of
every kind Jones followed the advice,
but found himself no better. He went to
another doctor and after being examined
was informed that he must avoid all
kinds of fresh meats also. This did not
do him any good, as he thought, aud he
went to another doctor, who highly ap.
proved of the advice which had pre-.
viously been given and warned him
against all kinds of pastry, likewise shell.
fish, including oysters and CLAIMS. The
best thing for you is milk diet said
the doctor so Jones lived wholly upon
milk. Not feeling himself any better he
went to another doctor, who cautioned
him to avoid milk above all things If he
wanted to get well. This reduced Jones
to diet of cold water and fresh air, and
finding himself no better under this regi.
men he went to another doctor, who ad-
vised him to beware of drinking too much
water, and being too much in the air.
This last advice cut off the last of Jones's
articles of diet, and he died of starvation
as have told you Christian al Work.

The Value OF Civility.

There would be fewer broken friend
ships fewer unhappy unions and family
quarrels, were it not so much the custom
among intimate friends and relations to
neglect the small courtesies of life, to
show less and less mutual Difference as
they grow more and more familiar. 1t is
the foundation of misery in marriage, and
many serious and lifelong arrangement
has begun, not from want of affection 80
much as from lack of that delicate and in
stlnctlve appreciation of the feelings of
others which makes person shrink from
saying unpleasant things or finding fault,
unless absolutely obliged, and in any case
to avoid wounding the offenders sense of
dignity, or stirring up within him feelings
OF opposition and animosity; for although
many persons profess to be above taking
offense at honest censure, and even seem
to court criticism, yet it must be very
carefully administered not to be unpal-
atable. Even kind and generous actions
are often 80 uncouthly performed as to
cause the recipient more pain than
pleasure, while reproof or denial may be
so sweetened by courtesy as almost to do
away with any sense of modification or
disappointment. Good breeding is always
inclined to form favorable Judgment,
and to give Others the credit of being &C.
tuated by worthy motives. 1t does not
wish or seem to know more about people
than they themselves desire should be
known, but it is always prepared, when
necessary, to take an interest in the affairs
of others, while self is not suffered to OBJ
trude unduly.-Golden Hours.

Wonders in Store for Us.

Remarkable as have been the advances
In the uses to which electricity can be
put, according to Professor Melville Bell
the future has even greater surprises in
store for us. He thinks the time will
come when electrical and telephone mes
sages will be sent without wires. The
message bearer will be the rays of the
sunlight. The so-called electrical action
is simply vibrations in the air, which
produce certain results at distant points !;
and Professor Bell is of the opinion that
inventive genius will yet enable us to
make use of imponderable agents to
transmit messages between distant local.
tiles. Indeed, there are enthusiasts who
now think that we will ultimately be able
to communicate with sentient beings in
other planets. 1t has been demonstrated
that the materials which compose the
heavenly bodies are identical, and it is a
fair inference that creatures correspond
ing to our own race, with the same kind
OF faculties, people them. If so, we may
perhaps yet nave friendly chat with the
inhabitants of Venus and Mars, and
probably other worlds in solar systems
beyond our own.

Lost Currency.

The past due debt of the United States,
upon which the payment of interest has
been stopped, now amounts to eleven mill
ions of dollars. Nearly half the amount
consists of three and oue-half per cent
bonds which were called in last year. The
further sum of nearly four millions in
bonds of various issues has been outstand-
ing from one to five years, and the remain
der from five to ten years and over. 1t is
possible that many of these bonds have
been lost or misplaced or accidentally
destroyed and may never be presented for
redemption. Still it is surprising that
such large sums should have been pri-
vately boarded so many years after the
interest had ceased. 1t is now we'll ascer-
tanned that of the fractional currency
used during the war and until subsidiary
silver was substituted in 1876, nearly
81 600 1000 a year, or $4,000 600 out of
$40 900 600 printed and circulated. has
been lost or destroyed. Over $S 100000
has been marked off the treasury books
by authority of congress, and $1,000 900
more might as well follow, since the notes
have ceased to be presented 1t is esti.
mated that about $4,000 900 greenback
notes have been lost or destroyed in the
twenty-one years since they were first
issued; but the truth about all such esti-
mates will never be known in our day, as
greenback legal tender has become part
and parcel of our financial system. In
like doubt is the loss of notes of the
national banks in the twenty years of
their existence. Whatever it is, the profit
inures under the law to the treasury and
not to the banks of circulation.-Inde-
pendent.

Smokers and CheWers.

A Kentucky correspondent, according
to the Golden Rule, is anxious to know
whether the Bible will uphold him in
saying to brother church member who
smokes and chews, that, unless he quits
and repents, he cannot enter the king
dom of heaven" No, my brother the
Bible does not warrant your saying any
such thing. But the Bible does say,
"Judge not that ye be not judged" We
ought to be very thankful that the Lord
does not ask us-weak, sinful, erring men
as we are-to judge our brethren. Leave
judgment to him. But try hard, my
brother, to live so close to Jesus that he
may be able to say to you at the last,
" Well DONE" As for smoking and chew
ing church members, we are sorry that
they will indulge in such practices. We
would say to man who chews, 1t is a
vile habit, and it must be sore trial to
your wife, If she is neat woman. 1t in
jures either your health or your wifes
health, or your children's health for to-
bacco is slow poison, and will show out
sooner or later. And how disgusting it is
to be splitting tobacco juice everywhere,
and to think that a man is slave to
such habitW On these grounds, as
well as its useless expense, we would
kindly reason with him to give it up, save
the money, be free man and clean man,
and see how it will improve your own, or
family's health to give up the noxious
weed. But don't say to MIN, " 1t will de-
bar you from heaven" Christ has spoken
authoritatively concerning the drunkard
and him who sins against the Holy Ghost,
but we would not rank the user of to-
bacco, necessarily with either of these
classes AS for smoking, we do not ap-
prove of it, and we are sorry that any
Christian men indulge in it. But we
know they are good men, notwithstand-
Ing. Many eminent clergymen are smok-
ers. Any one at all acquainted in our
large cities, as New York and Philadel-
phia, would be surprised to find how
many We cannot help thinking that
their influence on young men is very bad.
And we do not see how this great evil is
to be stayed until all good men cease
smoking, and use all their influence
against it. But it will do no good to at
tack the brethren. The Christian method
is not to denounce, but to go quietly and
reason kindly with brother in error.
Only in this way can We ever expect to
do good. Onlyin this way will we get
controlling influence over men. Try this
plan, brother, on yonr neighbor. And be
sure that your object is not to condemn
him, but to do him good.

Retention OF the Juices in Cooking
Meats.

1t is very important that the juices and
meats existing in liquid state in our Or
binary f1esh-meats, should not be wasted
in the course of cookery, and this will be
sure to occur, if the cook has only received
the customary technical education and re-
mains in practical ignorance. To illus.
trate this, says The Popular Science let US
suppose that leg of mutton, slice of
cod, or piece of salmon, is to be cooked
in cold water, boiled" as the cook SAYS.
Keeping in mind the results of previous
experiments on egg.albumen, and also the
fact that in its liquid state albumen is diff
fusible in water, the cook may now stand
as scientific umpire in answering the
question whether the fish or flesh should
be put in hot water at once, or in cold wa
ter, and be gradually heated. Combining
our attention at present to the albumen,
what must happen if the fish or flesh is
put IN cold water, which is gradually
heated Obviously loss of albumen bv
emulation and diffusion through the water,
especially in the case of sliced flesh or of
meat exposing much surface of fibers cut
across. 1t is also evident that such loss
of albumen will be shown by its congula-
Practical readers will at once recognize in
the "scum" which rises to the surface
OF the boiling water, and in the milkiness
that is more or less diffused throughout it,
the evidence of such loss of albumen.
The loss indicates the desirability of
plunging the fish or flesh at once into
water hot enough TO Immediately coagu-
late the superficial albumen, and thereby
plug the pores through which the inner
al6uminous juice otherwise exudes. But
this is not all. There are other Juices
besides the albumen, and these are the
most important of the Rauoring consti-

animal food, have great nutriment value

great cities "The first thing demanded

gamblers, libertines, drunkards, Ell id
