WHY WE COMMENCE DINNER WITH
SOUP.

The rationale of the initial soup
has often been discussed: some re-
gard it as calculated to diminish di-
gestive power, on the theory that so
much fluid taken first dilutes the gas
trio juices. But there app ars to Ee
no foundation for this belief. A cleas
soup disappears almost Immediately
after entering the stomach, and in no
way interferes with the gastric juice,
which is stored in its cells ready for
action. The habit of commencing
dinner with soup has without doubt.
it's origin in the fact that ailment in
this fluid form-in fact, ready digest
ed--soon enters the blood aud rapid
ly refreshes the hungry man, who,
after considerable fast and much act
ivity, sits down with a sense Of ex-
haustion to commence his principal
meal. In two or three minutes after
he has taken plate of good warm
soup, the feeling OF exhaustion dis
appears, and irritability gives way to
the gradual rising sense OF good fell
lowship with circle. Some persons
have the custom OF allayipg exhaus
ton with a glass of sherry before
food-a gastromic no less than a
physiological blunder, injuring the
stomach and depraving the palate
The soup introduces at once into the
system small installment of ready
digestcd food, and saves the short
period of time which must be speut
by the stomach in deriving some nu
triment from solid ailment, as we'll as
indirectly strengthening the organ of
digestion itself for it's forthcoming
duties.

A Mothers Responsibility.

Mamma" said delicate little girl 81
have broken my china vase"
"Well, you are naughty, careless, trou-
blesome little thing, always in some mis-
chief; 90 upstairs and wait till l send for
you"
And this was a mothers answer to q
fearful little culprit who had struggled with
and conquered the temptation to tell q
falsehood to screen her fault With dis
appointed, disheartened look the sweet
child obeyed; and at that moment was
crushed in her little heart the sweet flower
of truth, perhaps never again in after years
to- blossom into life. Oh, what were the loss
of thousand vases in comparison 'Tis true
an ''angel might shrink from the respon-
sibility of MOTHER It needs an angels
powers The watch must not for an in
slant be relaxed; the scales of Justice must
always be nicely balanced; the hasty word
that the overtaxed spirits sends to the lips
must die there before it is uttered. The
timid and sensitive child must have word
of encouragement in season; the forward
and plesuming checked with gentle firm
ness; there must be no deception or trick
cry for the keen eye of childhood to detect,
and above all, when the exhausted brain
sinks with ceaseless vigils, perhaps, and the
thousand petty Interruptions and unlocked
for annoyances of every hour set at def
ance any attempt at system, still must that
mother wear an unrutfled brow, lest the
smiling cherub on her knee catch the angry
frown. Still must she rule her own spirit,
lest the boy engrossed with his toys repeat
the next moment the impatient word his
ear has caught. For all the duties faith
fully performed mothers reward is in Sc
cret and silence. Even he on whose earth
ly breast she leans, is too often unmindful
of the noiseless struggle, till, too late, alas
he learns to value the delicate hand that
has kept in unceasing flow the thousand
springs of domestic happiness.

mARKET-MONEY.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

When Reuben was married. lie said: ITO live
As our wealthy neighbors we are not able.
But certain SUN 1 will get apart
SO much weeK, to spend on the table,,
And when this financial affaii was done he
Took no more thought OF the market-money.
dis good wife, Jane, was a prudent soul.
And the manifold ways and turnings
By which to exc out an income small
And make the most of her husbands earn
ings;
Nor spoiled her economical disLes
BY grumbling over her wants and wishes
There were dainty surprises each day prepared:
There were fruits in season OF the choicest
flavor
Puddings and pies. and JellIes and tarts,
And hashes and stews OF royal SAVIOR.
Plenty Of milk and plenty OF honey,
And only trifie of market-money
There were knich-znacks here. there were
comforts there,
Little comforts unknown to many
Who live in houses of finer style,
But haven't a wife at the head like Jennie,
Who always appeared as bright and sunny
AS il she had plenty OF market-money.
The children always were nicely drest.
Far bstter than others in their position;
Yet Jennie, tor money to pay the bills,
Had never ventured a slight petition;
And Reuben wondered, yet (isn't 1t funny?J
He never increased her market-money!
All, many princely home Is built
On deep foundations, secure and stable,
By the aid of wife who does her best
To please her husband as she is able;
And, with temper serene and sunny,
Manages him and the market-money.

HER FAIRY FEET.

The boisterous tanner cried;
1T must be as a rose-leaf thin
And scarce three fingers wide"
He seized the fragile tiny bit
Within his brawny hand,
And cast in the seething pit
And SO the akin was tann'd.
Then came cobbler to his side
With tools that cobblers use.
And deity wrought that mouse's hide
Into pair OF shoes.

Let time and chance determine;
Perhaps it may turn out at sang,

Yell try the world fu' soon, my lad,
And, Andrew dear, believe me,
Yen find mankind an unco squad,
And muckle they may grieve ye;
For care and liouble set your thought,
Even when your ends attained,
And a your views may come to nought
Where every nerve Is strained.
I'll no say men are Williams a.;

But, och mankind are unco weak,
And little to be trusted;

For still tn important end OF life

Though pocf ftith hourly stare him;
A man may tax a nei gh bor's part,

Conceal yourself as weel's you can
Frae critical dissection,
But keek through every other man
WI sharpened, sly inspection.

But never tempt th' Illicit rove.
Though naething should divulge it;

The hazard o. concealing;
But, och! 1t ha1dens a. within
And petrifies the feeling!
To catch dame Fortunes golden smile,
Assiduous walt upon her!
And gather gear by every vile
That's justified by honor;
Not for TO hide it in hedge,
Not for train-attendant
Bot for the glorious privilege
Of being independent
The fear O. hell's hangman's whip
To haud the wretch in order,
But where ye feel your honor grip
Let that aye be your border.

Debar a. side pretences,

And even the rigid feature;
Yet nee. with wits profane to range,
Be complaisance extended;
An atheists laughs poor exchange
For Deity offended!
When ranting round in pleasures ring
Religion may be blinded;
Or if she gle a random sting
1t may be little minded;
But when in life we're tempest driven.

A correspondence fixed wi Heaven

Adieu. dear, amiable youth!

A PETRIFIED BoDY.-The remains of
Mrs. Mary Glessner, of York, Pa, which
were inferred at the Moravian burying
ground, were exhumed Thursday prepara-
tory to reinterment at Prospect Hill Gem
etary. Upon reaching the cnffin it was dis
covered to be in remarkable good state
of preservation. Upon attempting to raise
the body it was found exceedingly heavy.
With additional assistance it was removed
from the grave, and an examination reveal
ed that it was petrified from the shoulders
to the ankles, showing hard substance,
chalky in appearance, admitting of being
scraped with an instrument. The soil of
the grave was red ground, and contained
water to the depth of two inches. The de-
ceased had died of typhoid fever, and was
stout woman, weighing about 200 pounds,
at the time of her death, and had been bur-
led about fifteen years. The weight of the
coffin and body was about 400 pounds.

RUNNING FOR BIG STAKES.
Three Noted Turf Events i'm England
and at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, April 17.-This was the
second day of the spring meeting. The
weather, track and attendance were all
good. In the three-qUarter mile heats,
selling race, Lutte Fogel, the favorite,
won, with Joe Shelby second. The time
was 1:1S}k, 1:l91E, 1:191%.
In the twO-year-Old colts race Lloyd

Georgia Pacific.


While the Georgia Pacific is being
pushed rapidly towards the COosa from
Admission with a certainty of reaching the
river by the 1st of May, the other parts of
the line between Atlanta and Columbus
are not being neglected. The gaps be-
tween the track already laid from the
river on toward Birmingham will be
filled in ample time to give the promised
through train from Atlanta by November.
1t is 124 miles from Birmingham
to Columbus, and construction for
this distance is contracted for except
60 miles which will be let very soon. No
reason will prevent the steady and rapid
connection of Atlanta and Columbus by
rail. The Ill miles of the road now COM
plete from Atlanta to a point five miles
beyond Admission are already beginning
to bring evidences of the wealth of the re-
giOn traversed. Iron ore in large quanti-
ties is being shipped principally to the
Klslng FaWn furnaces and to furnaces in
Tennessee. The rich copper ore found
along the road is coming principally to
Atlanta, where the large sulphuric acid
and fertilizer factories demand it.
The lumber business along the line.
though now dependent on small mills. is
considerable and will be very large when
the timber men get well to work along the
TallapoOsa ridge. BY the fall the rich
coal fields will be reached and Atlanta
will warm herself next winter through
the assistance of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia and the Georgia Pacific
cheaper than she ever did before.

BERLIN, April lit is likely that the
coronation of the Gar will be postponed
until the 10th of June. The latest nrocIa-
nation issued by the Nihilists merely
refers to the Car in scoruful way. and
says that he is beneath criticism. Well
informed persons in Russia express the
opinion that no danger is to be feared to
the Gar at the coronation, with the eX-
ception, perhaps, of an act of an isolated
fanatic, and even that they think is un-
likely
