HEART SEATS.

DR.. N. B. Richardson, of London,
says he was recently able to convey
considerable amount of conviction
to an intelligent scholar by simple
experiment. The scholar was sing
ing the praises of the "ruddy bump
er," and saying he could not get
through the day without it, when
DR.. Richardson said to him: 90 Will
you be good enough to feel my pulse
as | stand herep He did so. / SAID,
: Count it carefully; what does it
say Y Your pulse says TAP ! then
sat down III chair, and asked him
to count it again. He did so, and
said, Your pulse has gone down to
70.' | then laid down on the lounge,
and said, will you take it again p
lie replied: Why, it is only GA;
what an extraordinary thingr then
said: when you lie down at night,
that is the way nature gives Your
heart rest. You know nothing about
it, but that beating organ is resting
to that extent; and if you reckon
it up it is a great deal of rest, be-
cause III lying down the heart is
dong ten strokes less a minute.
Multiply that by sixty, and it is six
hundred; multiply it by eight hours,
and within Il fraction it is FIVE thous-
and strokes different: and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood
at every stroke, it makes a difference
of thirty thousa and ounces of lifting
during the night. When lie down
at night without any alcohol, that is
the rest my heart gets. But when
you take your wine or grog you do
not allow that rest, for the influence
of alcohol is to increase the number
of strokes, and instead Of getting
this rest, you put Oh something like
fifteen thousand extra strokes. and
the result is, you rise up very seedy
and unfit for the next days work till
you have taken little more OF the
'ruddy BUMPER which you say is
the soul Of man below Gailidrd's
JOuraal.

SELECTIONS.
Two Sides of a Congressman's Life.

1t Is an error to suppose that the
lawmakers have nothing more to do
than to attend the ordinary sessions
OF the Senate or House, aud draw
their pay. Some OF them are models
of industry, going to the Capitol
early in the morning, holding com
mittte-meetings for an hour or two,
ddrting off to an executive depart
ment for information, taking part in
the debates OF the respective houses,
writing letters to constituents, and
TRANSMITTING infinite odds and ends
of business until dusk. And when
they go home in the evening, they
are not always allowed to rest. They
are bothered by dissatisfied constit-
ueDts ;they are besieged by strangers
and friends, one wanting this done,
another that, Il third something else,
until, wearied and exhausted, they
sink into restless sleep, and dream
hldeous visions of the coming day.
Yet there is another side to the
picture. They each receive five

where they may move soleInnly

OF a cotillion and Virginia reel. Al
together, their careers are decidedly
agreeable, and the average Congress
man would gladly serve his country
for life, and nominate his bonesn

ANOTHER NEWSPAPER FRAUD.

The following was related to the
publisher Of this paper few days ago
by leading advertiser in New York :
Upon the representation and guran-
tee that 30, 900 papers were to be issued
a New York publisher secured among
many other advertisements one for
$50 for a single insertion.
1.-THE advertiser, by chance, a few
days later, happened to call at the
printing establishment where the
said paper was being printed. Seeing
copy lying on the counter he picked
it up. and casually remarked
$" Very handsome paper, this.'n
Yes answered the firm.
0s About lIow many copies are
printed differently ?'' asked the adj
vertiser.
"tWe printed 1000 copies of the
last issue,'" replied the firm.
"Soon after this interview, the
swindling publisher of that paper cali
ed upon his advertiser with bill made
out for $50.
80 suppose you printed my adver-
tisement in $4,000 copies as guaran-
teed, said the advertiser.
ooh! yes And in 5, 900 extra copies,
besides, and for which we make YOU
no Charge" replied the publisher.
"t Will you swear that you printed
$4,000, asked the advertiser.
IS 1t is not necessary. I never did
such thing in my life,'" replied the
publisher.
" Them replied the advertiser,
81 decline to pay your BILL"
THE publisher boiling with rage at
once sought lawyer, and together
they came back and threatened that
if the bill was not paid Immediately
suit would be begun at once with
costs added.
1.-THE case came up. The publisher
testified that the advertiser owed him
$50 for advertising.
80 Butt" asked the advertiser,
I" did you print my advertisement in
$4,000 papers?'"
ssIn about 80, 600 p" evasively re-
piled the now confused publisher.
The Judge "-ss' Answer the ques-
tion.'u
Advertiser ''-"s Did you print
my advertisement in 10000, or even

TIE TRUTH AT LAST.

tired repeating the falsehood, tina
Labor was as well paid In Europe and
that people lived cheaper there than
here. TIE tendency to free trade
thus created is bearing fruit of tn
>ourest kind. There are hard time
ahead for the poor American labor
ing men. The rich can live it through,
but the poor will suffer. The follow
ing official report to Congress will
open the eyes of some:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Secretar,
Frelinghuyseu has sent a voluminous
letter to the House OF Representa-
tives revie wing the reports from the
consuls of the United States in rela
tion to the state of labor IN Europe.
The Secretary says: Itappears, com
pairing cities of Europe with thos.
in the United States, that bricklay.
ers and masons in Chicago are paid
very nearly three times the wages
plasterers nearly four times, skaters
three times, plumbers nearly three.
carpenters twice, blacksmiths twice,
bookbin,lers more than twice, brick
makers nearly three times, BRASS
founders and cabinet makers nearly
twice, confectioners twice, cigar
makers nearly three times, cooper,
once and a-half as much, draymen,
teamsters and street railway driver,
nearly twice, dyers more than twice.
engravers nearly three times, furriers
twice, hOrSeshoers three and ahal
times, jewelers. more than one anu
one half times, labortrs. porters, &c..
more than twice, photographers tire,
times, telegraph operators twice and
one halt, sailmakers more than twice,
printers twice and one-half, saddlers
and harness-makers more than one
and one half times, stevpdOIes more
than twice and one fourth times, tail
ors twice, and tinsmiths once and
three fOurths wages paid to similar
trades and callings in London.
Relative to the prices Of the neces
saries of life, the Secretary says: "Ii
is frequently asserted that the cheap
ness of living in Europe more than
eqnalizes the lower wages there
paid. In the volume on labor in
Europe published by this department
it is shown that the prices of food in
the United States were actually low
er than in Europe, and that the
working classes in the United States
could purchase more and better ali
ment, dollar for dollar, than the
working classes OF any country in
Europe. The contrary impression il
probably due to the fact that the
working people of Europe live more
cheaply than the working people OF
the United States, from which il il
inferred that the purchasing power
of their wages is greater than the
purchasing power of similar wages
here. 1t appears from the reports
that the American workman con.
sumes more and better food than the
mechanic or laborer abroad, and
that the cost of this food is as small
in the United States AS in Europe. .
