LITTLE NELL.
BY DAVID HILL.

Just outside the shadows of those tall maple trees
The red brick school house stands as in the days
gone by;
1t has the same wide belfry open to the breeze,
And the same bronze arrow pointing toward the sky
The stately elm is there the brooklet still is seen,
And children as of yore sporting on the green.
Yet two decades have past since that bright summer
time,
Rare season of birds, and flowers, and balmy air,
When children blithe these in all their golden
prime
Came as pupils to me in that same building there;
And though each childish form has vanished quite
away,
They glide before me STILL like those see at play.
But while their shadowy forms like dim phantoms
rise,
And fit before me, lonely relics of the past,
One, beauteous than the res attracts my eyes;
And haunts me with reflections that will always
last.
The form is of a child whom every one loved well,
And known among her schoolmates as little Nell.
never saw such wondrous wealth of auburn hair
Or such great soullt eyes beneath long lashes hid
The red halfpouting lips were radiant and fair,
And lit with pleasant smiles that seemed to start
unbid.
So guileess she appeared so full of outward grace,
The heaven of her soul seemed mirrored in her face.
Each summer morning when the academic bell
Rung out the school-day hour upon the startled air,
1 saw the near approach of winsome little Nell,
Or heard her blithesome footsteps on the doorway
| stair;
| And always when she came she brought me some
| choice flower
Plucked from a garden fair, secret woodland
| But those flowers decately made,
| And beautiful in form those that soonest die;
AS bright opaline tints, and saffron hues fade
| In the gathering shadows of sunset sky;
So those born to be loved, like southern stars at
| night,
A moment shed their beams, and then sink out OF
! sight
| And so one August morn the form of little Nell
| Was missed, and sadly, too, from her accustomed
| seat.
/ No more she heard the sound of that old iron bell
| Nor we the tiny patter of her little feet:
For Death swooped down that night like some great
bird of prey,
And in his homeward flight bore her sweet soul
away.
o, how those tearwet eyes! those schoolmates clad
| in white!
The long procession winding down the village street
| The gate in garlands drest! the last sad solemn
| rite!
| Stand out before my eyes in psnoply complete.
| I see the open grave. hear those fall;
And she, the airest rose, asleep beneath them ALL
| How sad each child appeared who sat in schoo
next day;
| A shadow seemed to float around that dingy room
They missed the pleasant face which Death hat
called away,
| And 1 the morning gift of flowers in their bloom
| Above her vacant seat they hung golden wreath
And placed the words sat rest" in roses underneath
Down there in the little village churchyard she lies
And twenty years have changed the grasses on he
| grave.
In dust is that fair form, and those soft darkbrowI
eyes,
While over it large trees daily bend and wave
The scioolmates of her youth are scattered far an
| wide,
Some sleep in distant graves, and some sleep at he
| side.

NICogNE IN CIGAR SMOKE.

The German savant, DR.. Kissling,
has recently made some interesting
experiments on this subject, the ci-
gar being smoked with an aspira.or,
and the smoke drawn through a cool
er and five bottles. Of the latter the
first and third were empty, the second
being filled with alcohol, the latter
with dilute sulphic acid, and the fifth
with caustic soda. In the four eX-
periments so, AZ, 1872 and 100 cigars
were smoked respectively. The per-
centages of nicotine were 3.75, 3.74,
0.295 and 0.19 in the respective ex-
periments. In fifth experiment the
tips and ends of those cigars used in
the first experiments were used, and
in sixth experiment the cigar ends
left by smoker were tested for nico-
tine. These were found to contain
Psi per cent, the cigar itself having
had 2.54 per cent. so that the in
crease was comparatively small. The
general results of DR.. Kissling's re-
searches are of interest to all cigar
smokers. He found that the active
poisonous constituents of tobacco
smoke are carbolic oxide, sulphydric
acid, prussic acid and nicotine. The
three first named are present in to-
bacco smoke in too small quantities,
and are too volatile to deserve any
consideration in judging of the effect
of using tobacco on the system. The
nicotine bases are present in the
smoke in relative small quantities, so
that the poisonous qualities may be
attributed almost exclusively to the
nicotine. The amount of nicotine In
smoke depends chiefly on the quanti-
ty of nicotine in tobacco. The guam
tity of nicotine destroyed by the COM
bustion of cigar is relatively small.
Perhaps the most interesting result
of the experiments is that they show
that as nicotine is soluble in alcohol,
it is more than probable that the use
of alcoholic beverages prevents the
local accumulation of nicotine and
hasten its removal from the body. In
other words, a glass of beer or wine
is the proper concommitant to the
pipe or cigar.

ADULTERATIoNs IN BUTTER

When oleomargarine was first
brought into public notice there was
a good deal of opposition to its in
PRODUCTION, as affording the ready
means of deceiving buyers, no mat
ter how much better it might be than
poor butter, how entirely harmless,
and how thoroughly cleanly were the
methods of its manufacture. Laws
were therefore passed in several of
the states prohibiting its manufac-
ture and sale, only as all the pack
ages should be distinctly branded
with the name ''oleomargarlne." +"
The farmers and dairymen were most
anxious for this legislation. But
since these laws were passed there
has sprung up large business in
what is called sbutterine," which u.s.
ually consists of little good cream
cry butter and an admixture of oleo-
margarine oil and neutral lard. The
latter is simply lard with all taste re-
moved, which increases its cost only
about cent per pound; but the but
terine thus made is hardly distin-
guishable by the best judges from
fine creamery butter, under which
designation a great deal of 1t is now
coming to market. TIE winter is
the best season for palming off this
adulteration, as it does not keep as
hard as the genuine butter in the
warm weather.

BOUND TO SEE SHE PROCES.
SION.

A wisp of boy waited in Fifth
avenue, New York, Monday after
noon for the procession. He was
dubbed by policeman for not get
ting out of the way. He was kicked
by colored majors horse. A hook
and ladder wagon knocked him down.
Three companies of Jersey militia
marched over him. He made his
way through the crowd which skirted
the sidewalk, cuffed by this man and
jostled by that, and got to a fence
in front of a Fifth avenue house,
stood npon the top of the fence,
which was about half an inch wide.
He was thinly clad, and as the rain
came down grew very wet. When
the bands came along playing cred,
White and Blue, "Marching through
Georgia" and 81 Never Drink Be-
hind the Bar" the rain ceased to
him. He threw up his ragged hat.
The rain drlpped off his clothes as it
drops from an icicle. He was soak
ed with rain. He hurrahed and
shouted in the rain. He was obliv-
ious of the rain. To him it was an
Indian summer day. When the Vol
unteer firemen Appeared he was be-
side himself with enthusiasm. His
wet clothes were as tight on him as
his own skin. He jumped down
from his perch and ran into the
street. He caught hold of the rear
part of Big Six fire engine, just be-
hind the tiger, and marched, thrilled
with happiness at touching the en-
gine with his hands, all the way to
the Battery. When he was coming
back a heavy artillery wagon ran
over him at the Bowery Green and
mashed him into the mire. He was
pulled out and ran away covered with
mud, but full of joy.

FIRE RECORD.
HARR1aAs a Harris.

Nrss York, Dec. 25--Fire broke out in
Hs1fgan & Harris Theatre Comique, and
the building was almost completely destroyed,
the front wall being the only part Of the
building left standing. The theatre was
formerly Hope Chapel, where DIR. E. H.
Chaplin, the Universalist used to officiate.
A servant girl employed in the New York
Hotel, opposite the theatre, saw the smoke
coming from one of the wings of the theatre
and thought nothing Of It, believing 1t to be
the steam About ten minutes to O'Clock
an officer saw several streaks Of smoke COM
ing from the window, and promptly sent in a
general alarm. In few minutes flames
were shooting through the windows both on
the front, facing Broadway, and In the rear,
which faces the Colorado row, Lafayette
Place. Although but a few minutes elapsed
before the alarm was sent out when the fire.
men arrived at the scene, they found the
whole building mas Of flames.
The sea OF fire, which must have gained
Roadway long before the alarm was sent out,
burst from all parts OF the doomed building.
A second and third a'arm was quickly sent
out and eight more engines and two trucks
reinforced the men already at work. It was
apparent to Chief Shay that there was not
the slightest h,pe Of saving the theatre, and
the attention Of the fremen was turned
to the Colorado Hotal and other large build
ings adjoining the theatre
strong west wind was blowing, which
swept the flames back through the stage over
towards the row Of houses on Lafayette
Place. The excitement among the patrons Of
the Colorado Hotel was great for a short
time but fireman and policemen assured them
that there was no imminent danger.
The guests were nearly all at breakfast
when the fire broke out and were soon trans
ported to other hotels in the neighborhood.
Many of the bedrooms of che Lafayette Place
houses look out on the rear Of the theatre and
the occupants were reused from their slum-
berB by the flames aginst their windows
They were all gotten out in safety, however,
and the houses were preserved from the
flames. Half an hour after the fire broke out
the roof fell In with a terrible crash, and
portions OF the front side and rear walls went
with 1t. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
The fire undoubtedly started in the front Of
the building. Mr.. Harrigan said to a re-
porter:
IAN Of our theatrical scenery and other
valuable property, the accumulation of years,
has gone up in smoke, and our loss cannot he
far from $!25, 900 if it does not exceed that
sum. All were not insured; the loss on the
building, which belonged to the Stewart es
tate, is about s65 Co.,"
