Italian Images.
The MANNER IN WHICH THE DARR-EYED
ScULPToRs WORK AND LIVE.

"Buy my images?" The speaker, a slender,
knob. nosed, dark. eyed youth, stood on the
corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets, and
piped his plaintiff melody in Ga different keys.
He was ragged Italian, redolent of garlic
and maccaroni. He wore dusty slouch hat,
and his toes peeped out into the soft spring
sunlight in a suggestive sort of way. There
was about him a look of chrome hunger
His voice ran up the gafnut and down the
gamut, first harsh and decisive, anon soft and
duplicating, like that Of woman, and alter
nately loud, low, cracked and round-toned
Rich people and poor people, policemen,
boot-blacks, and dogs Of all degrees, with
muzzles and without muzzles, passed him
without turning their heads. The Mayor
rubbed up against him, brushed the powder
from of his broadcloth coat-sleeve, muttered
angrily to himself and disappeared up the
street like decayed fash of lightning. Still
the peddler kept crying his disjointed images,
until at last Press reporter, with his heart
full of commiseration and his pocket full of
FIVE cent pieces, tapped him on the shoulder
and said SLOW much?''
"a dollar and quarter" replied the
Italian.
"Too much; give twenty-five cents
"Bastx! One dollar
Twenty-Five cents?'
81 take fifty
s'Twenty-fve:"
@Take him along"
And the reporter lifted the plaster of Paris
image of female diver, in decided deshabille,
from this nomad's willow basket and laid it
{. nderly across his arm as if it were baby.
The image was tolerably we'll moulded, il
made of genuine plaster Of Paris, and is q

Kisses on Interest.

A father talking to his careless daughter
said to her: want to speak to you Of your
mother. It may be that you have noticed
a careworn look upon her face lately. OF
course 1t has not been brought there by
any act Of yours, still it is your duty to
chase it away. want you to get up to.
morrow morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine
how it will brighten up her dear face. Be.
sides, you owe her kiss Or two. Away
back when you were little girl she kissed
you when no one else was tempted BY your
fever-tainted br> ath and swollen face. You
were not as attractive then as you are now.
Through those years Of childish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready to cure
BY the magic Of mothers kiss, the little
dirty, chubby hands whenever they were
injured In those struggles with thi, rough
old world. And then the midnight kiss
with which she routed so many bad dreams
as she leaned above your restless pillow,
have all been on interest these long, long
years. OF course she is not as pretty and
kis>able as you are, but il you had done
your share Of work during the last ten
years, the contrast would not be so marked
Her face has more wrinkles than yours
far more, and yet if you were sick that face
would appear more beautiful than an an
gels as it lowered over you, watching ev'
cry opportunity to minister to your com.
fort, and then every one Of those wrinkle,
would seem TO be bright wavelts Of sun.
shine chasing each other over that dea,
face. She will leave you one Of these days
These burdens, If not lifted from her shout
ders, will break her down. III use rough
hard hands that have done SO many I'M
necessary things for you will be crossee
upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected
lips that gave you your first baby kiss vii

THE RUIN CAUSED ny RUM.

The ruin caused by rum is beyond our
power to ever fully know. OF the broken
households, aching hearts and b'ish,ed
lives we shall never understand. But what
is more pitiful than some hearts We have
seen sutfer-some lives we have seen 60

ing and starving-a pitiful wreck Of hi.
man life, going to her tomb in darkness and
sorrow and gloom. The wrinkled hands Of
age were lifted up in plying appeal to
those through whose instrumentality her
ono: peaceful life had been chang d from
quiet and trust to the bitterness Of death.
But has pity a lodgment in the heart OF a
man who has wrecked his manhood at the
bar: All those noble qualities that were
once the bt,ast of his friends have gone
down in the darkness OF night. And the
pleading eyes and entreating voice OF the
wife who suffers SO keenlv in whatever
,leyrades him and makes him less lovable,
have no power to hold him back from the
future Of woe that awaits him. The little
children that look up into his face with a
sad tenderness, cannot keep him by their
side. The baby arms that encircle his
neck, the baby hands that smooth away the
wrinkles from his brow. do not soften the
heart made hard BY the fierce appetite for
rum. And even the sweet form so still in
the last sleep OF earth, has not power - re-
claim him from the snares Of the enemy.
There was a time when he was kind and
:ovable and sympathetic, bat that is far in
the past. We think that death is cruel, for II
robs US Of the blessed treasures Of our
households, vet it takes them with all their
purity upon them. Rum is more cruel
than death. We see our. beautiful sons
grow up to manhood and day by day we
note the loss of one virtue after another
swallowed up in this maddening thirst
They are no longer the innocent children
we loved, but men enslaved by appetites
and passions. Oh! for the dawn Of a new
era when men shall have clear brains and
be willing to live noble lives f'r themselves
and the loved ones dependent on theil

him an especial object for torment by pro.

said: allow about that little matter about

said: "I'll try and get your lady friend APP

Old.Time Doctors.

In his history Of 1.-The people of the Uni
ted States" Mr.. McMasters gives the fol-
lowing picture OF the oldtime doctor:
But few Of the simplest drugs were
then to be found slowed away on the
shelves Of the village store, am, n heaps
Of shoes, Rohan hats, balls Of twine
packages OF seed and tlitches OF bac IN.
The physician was, therefore, compelled to
combine the duties of both doctor and the
apothecarv. lie compounded his own
drugs, made his own tinctures, prepared
his own intusions, and put up his own pre-.
scriptions.
His saddle-bag was the only drug store
within forty miles, and there, beside his
own horn balances and his China mortar,
were medicines now quite out Of fashion,
or al most but rarely used.
Homeopathy, with its tastel. IS mixtures
and diminutive doses, was unknown; and
1t is not too much to say that more medi-
cine was then taken every year by the we'll
than is now taken in the same space 1
time by the sick. Each spring the blood
must be purified the bowels must be purg
ed, the kidneys must be excited, the bile
must b. moved and large doses Of SIENNA
and mamma, and loathsome connections Of
rhubarb and molasses were taken daily.
1t is generally supposed that the con
sumption Of drugs in proportion to the pop
ulation is increasing, but it is gratifying te
is the case. They produce almost as many
diseases as they cure.
