"HOw to Make Home Happy"

He was book agent. He rung a
door-bell, and woman who had been
sweeping opened the door so suddenly
that he fell off the step and nearly lost
his equilibrium. But he was q book
agent, and he recovered his momentum
and said fuently:
Il am agent for the most celebrated
book ever offered to the public since
Uncle Toms Cabin was written, and
filled with useful hints of things that
cannot be found outside the covers of

The Noise of the Fingers.

When you poke the end of your finger
in your ear, the roaring noise you hear
is the sound of the circulation in your
fingers, which is the fact, as any one
can demonstrate by first putting his
fingers in his ears, and then stopping
them up with other substance. Try it,
and think what wonder of machine
your body is, that even the points of
your fingers are such busy workshops
that they roar like a small Niagara.
The roaring is probably more the noise
of the circulation than of the blood. 1t
is the voice of all the vital processes to-
gether-the tearing down and building
up processes that are always going on
in the living body, from conception
down to death.

An Accomplished Negro Butler.

One day last fall handsome mulat-
to boy came to the door of friend of
mine, asking for work. He was good
butler, he explained, despite his years;
he had been carefully trained and
could do many things outside of his
strict line of duty. My friend happened
to need just such serving man, and
accepted him very imprudently on his
face. which was good, without asking
particularly for his recommendation
which were bad. He was most ac-
complished servant. He knew all
about the dining room; he knew all
about the front door; he was willing
and ready and quiet, and great sue
cess in every way. He was an ex-
tremely polite boy, thoroughly gentle
and kind, and he soon worked his way
into the good graces of the family.
One day when one of the young ladies
was playing the piano. he was discov-
cred listening. The next day he was
found listening again. His devotion to
music was remarked upon. Finally he
plucked up courage to ask if he could
nor sit down to the piano at odd mo-
ments when the ladies were otherwise
engaged. They said he could. He did
at the first opportunity, and for mu-
latto serving man he played exquis-
itely. OF course the ladies heard him,
and were pleased. They felt they had
a jewel. They did not have him long.
One day, after he had won the hearts
of the whole family, he quietly stepped
out with all the jewelry he could lay
his delicate hands on. On Tuesday he
was arragned at the bar of the police
court, charged with having swindled
dozen families in the same way. He
pleaded guilty in his dulcet tones to
each charge, and was held in heavy
bail for trial Washington Cor. Phil

The Marriage Relation.

Judge Jameson concludes an article
In the April North american ReUieu
entitled Shall our Civilization be Pre-
served" as follows:
A word, now, as to the perils which
threaten us in connection with the
marriage relation. The evil referred
to is only one of n multitude that flow
from the same source,-a general let
ting down of public sentiment in re-
gard to the sanctity of marriage.
While the Protestant view. that mar
riage is a civil contract and not a sa-
crament has doubtless basis of truth,
it is not the whole truth. Marriage is
civil contract and great deal more;
it is the creation of a status the most
sacred and the most important known
to the law or to human life. Regarded
merely as a contract, it is natural to
conclude that it may be lightly dis
solved; and, in fact from precisely
such a conclusion flows the disastrous
food of divorces that is overwhelming
our Protestant communities. Far bet
ter than this would it be if the inflex-
ible rule of the Roman Church were
adopted and enforced. And one haz-
ards little in predicting that, for the
salvation of society, such must be the
result, unless there shall be restored to
the status of marriage something of the
solemnity and sacredness imputed to it
by that church. 1t is needless to null
tiply words. Our divorce and marriage
laws must be revised, made uniform
and more strict, and be rigidly enforc-
ed, or the disorganization of society
now threatened by the increased loos-
ening of the marital ties will become
complete. So long as marriage is re-
garded as a mere civil contract, its
higher purpose, the rearing of off
spring, will be overlooked; its baser
uses alone will be esteemed until,
finally, whatever stands in the way of
these will, at any cost, be removed. 1t
must be admitted, however, that while
the law, if amended and more strictly
enforced, will do something, it cannot
alone reach the inmost seat of the evil,
in the perverted sentiment of the pub
lie in regard to marriage. Since this
sentiment rests not so much upon er-
rors in reasoning rs upon corrupt incli-
nations, logic or legal interdict can do
little to correct it. To that, perhaps,
religion alone is equal. And we cannot
better close than by stating our con-
viction, that for the saving of civiliza-
ton from the destruction threatening
it, as well from the prevalence of
crime and social immortality as from
the thickening dangers of industrial
discomfort and conflict, religion is the
most effective instrumcntality; not the
religion that builds temples from
which it excludes the poor; not the re-
ligion which shoots philosophical treat
ises from its pulpits over the heads Of
those who most need its consultations
in the condition of social contempt and
prescription in which they are held;
but the religion which reaches its hand
to the plain men and women who form
the bulk of our race and do its work;
which wins, instead of repelling them,
and which shows itself the friend and
minister of the toiling millions rather
than of the millionaires who build its
palaces.

How to Woo Slumber.

Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt is, it seems, a
victim to insomnia that is, sleepless-
ness. This is very prevalent and
growing disease in this country. This
is not the place to give the genesis of
this disorder; but perhaps few hints as
to its treatment may be useful. In the
first place, no drugs or opiates should
ever be taken. They give nopermanent
relief, but only add to the bodily dis
tempers which induce loss of sleep. A
tepid bath before retiring, with the base
of the brain and spine sponged with
cold water, is often eifectual in securing
good nights rest. The object should
be to draw blood from the brain to the
lower part of the body. Late meals
should be avoided, unless they are
habitual. Rest, and even sleep, are
natural after full meal. This is Us
true of human beings as of hogs. The
siesta after dinner is common in warm
countries, and sleep is natural after u
meal if habitual, for the blood is then
drawn from the brain to help digest the
food. Yet every one knows that, if
accustomed to eating full supper or
dinner five or six hours before retiring,

] saw her first on day in spring,
BY the side of a stream as | tished along.
And loitered to hear the robins sing,
And guessed ut the secret they told in song
The apple-blOssoms, so white and red,
Were mirrored beneath in the streamlet's
flow;
And the sky was blue far overhead,
And far in the depths of the brook below.
] lay half hid by a messy stone
And looked in the water for flower and sky,
i heard a step-l was not alone:
And vision of loneliness met my eye.
I saw her come to the other side,
And the apple-blossoms were not more fair;
She stopped to gaze in the sunlit tide,
And her eyes met mine in the water there.
She stopped in timid and mute surprise,
And that look might have lasted till now,
ween;
But modestly dropping her dove-like eyes,
She turned away to the meadow green.
1 stood in wonder and rapture lost
AT her slender form and her step so free,
AT her raven locks by the breezes tossed.
As she kicked up her heels in the afr for
glee.
The apple-blossoms are withered now.
But the sky and the meadow and stream are
there;
And whenever I wander that way vow
That some day I'll buy me that little black
mare.
