Good Old New Ensland Life.

From the Golden Rule.
That which gave New England such
prominence, such peace and honor in
her early history, over the continent and
across the seas, was not the culture of
her schools and colleges half so much
as the character of her homes. You
may say that schools and colleges make
the home, but the truth is homes with
their staunch intregity and unfaltering
fidelity give birth to these educational
advantages, creating a necessity for
them. Never on the face of the whole
earth was there found a deeper devotion
to principle, a loftier conception of the
marriage covenant, sublimer vision
and confession of mutual relations than
in the early homes of New England. It
was then that husbands and wives res
ted in each other; then that children
grew up in habits of thrift and virtue,
as impossible of escape as memory it.
self.
We sometimes talk about the forbid
ing features of those times, as if the
homes of our fathers were forlorn, freez-
ing every affection, checking every as
piration, holding to sternness and stoi-
cism. To me, as look back, and as I
read history, and as I reason from causes
to consequences, the grandeur of home
life in the days of our fathers has never
been equalled, certainly never surpass-
ed. Those households which some
sneeringly call Puritan" held in them
the germ of our national greatness, and
dark will be the day when we despise
them.
Two generations ago, marriage was a
union SO sacred as to receive announce
ment in the church of God on Sunday,
weeks before it's contamination. The
family was so sacred that its peculiar
wants were presented for remembrance
in public prayer. The children had
something more than lodging and
boarding in the home. All the inmates
there, of whatever age or occupation,
came together in pleasurable in
tercourse and worship. Have you
forgotten the Thanksgiving days,
and the anniversary gatherings of your
fathers, when parents and children and
grandchildren played together? Have
you forgotten the churches of your fa-
theirs, where parents and children and
grandchildren sat together in the old
family pew? There were not parties
then for the "old folks" and the mid
die aged" and the young folks" and
the "children." and the "babies." The
healthful influence Of parents was felt
OH children in their sports and stud
les, and the exhilarating influence OF
youth was felt on age. The home was
never forgotten, whatever the pleasure
or toll. There, by the open fire. place,
was the center of love. cheer, hope, life.
The highest joys, the highest helps, the
sweetest rest wera found at home; and
so all parties were comparatively safe.

A View from the Moon.

From Professor Langley's illustrated
article on "The Planets and the Moon"
in his series on "The New Anstrono-
N.Y." in the March Century, we quote
the follwoing: "The truth is however,
that, looking at the earth from the
moon, the largest moving animal, the
whale or the elephant, would be utterly
beyond our ken; and it is questionable
whether the largest ship on the ocean
would be visible, for the popular idea
as to the magnifying power of great
telescopes is exaggerated. It is prob
able that under any but extraor dinary
circumstances our lunar observer with
our best telescopes could not bring the
eaath within less than an apparent dis
tance of 500 miles; and the reader may
judge how large moving object must
be to be seen, much less recognized; by
tho naked eye at such distance.
"Of course, chief interest Of the
supposition we are making lies in the
fact that it will give us q measure of our
own ability to discover evidences of life
in the moon if there are any suoh as ex-
ist here; and in this point of view it is
worth while to repeat that scarcely any
temporary phenomenon due to human
action could be visible from the moon
under the most favoring circumstances.
An army such as Nepoleon led to Russia
might conceivably be visible if it moved
in dark solid column across the snow.
1t is barely possible that such vessel
as one of the largest ocean steamships
might be seen under very favorable cir
cumstances, as moving dot; and it is
even quite probable that such confls-
grafton as the great fire Of Chicago
would be visible in the lunar telescope,
as something like q reddish star on the
night side of our planet; but this is all
in this sort that could be discerned.
"By making minute maps, or, still
better, photographs, and comparing
one year with another, much however
might have been done by one lunar OBJ
server during this century. In it's be-
ginning, in comparison to the vast for
ests which then covered the North
American continent, tho cultivated
fields along its eastern seabcard would
have looked to him like q golden fringe
bordering broad mantle Of green, but
now he would see that the golden fringe
has pushed aside the green farther back
than the Mississippi, and would gath
er his best evidence from the fact
tsurely . noteworthy oh3 that man, .
Represented by the people Of the Unit

Some Americans have the fault Of
adopting customs that they call English
most things that are outre now, are
called English, it seems-and which are
decidedly ill-bred and vulgar, and are
anything but an honor to England or
to any other nation to which they might
be ascribed. And one of the gravest Of
these is not to introduce people when
they meet in the same drawing-roo as
guests of the same hostess. To fail to
do so decides the hostess to be snob,
and snob has no largeness of heart OF
brain, and no assurance, certainly, OF
her own position. I say hostess, for
men are never so absurd, and if they
did act in this way they would mean to
be insulting and to give positive offence;
and furthermore they would expect to
answer for it. It is to be observed that
women who indulge in this practice re.
gard themselves as ultra fashionists,
when in reality they are ultra under
bred, and it is pity they cannot realize
it.
When people are guests at the same
time in the same house it is the one oc.
casion when they must be introduced,
and not to be allowed to stand and stare
at each other like blanks, They are for
the time, at least. on equal grounds,
and should be so recognized. Disrepu-
table people are not supposed to mix
with genteel ones in q social way, and
this lack of introduction so often prac-
ticed gives the hostess, in the eyes OF
cosmopolities, aud of those of innate
breeding, the appearance of knowing
people that she is ashamed to make
known to others. have met people here

she did not relieve from the en-

To The PUBLIC:
From personal experience as we'll as

Combining the power to relieve and

VIEWS OF MEDICAL AUTHORITIES.
The Washington Post says:
For centuries it has been oontended
that cough medicine, to be effective,
must contain morphia, opium, or some
other equally dangerous drug, and to-
day nearly every cough medicine in the
market has for it's base some one of
these deadly poisons. In every State
of the Union physicians and coroners
are constantly reporting innumerable
cases of poisoning and death resulting
from such compounds. One author
ty states that these have done
moro injury than opium smok-
ing. A purely vegetable aud at the
same time efficacious cough cure has
been considered an impossibility. It is
for this reason that eminent medical
authorities and public men everywhere
like DR.. James A. Steuart, Health
G Commissioner of Baltimore, and DR..
Samuel K. Cox, of Washington, have
spoken so enthusiastically of the discov-
cry of Red Star Cough Cure which is
absolutely free from poisons or naroot-
ics. DR.. o. Grothe, of the Brooklyn
Board of Health, and heads of similar
boards in other cities, are also among
those who have issued official certificates
in its favor.
Prof. John J. Caldwell, M. D., men,
Der of the Electro Therapeutical Soci-
ety, New York; Medical Society, Kings
County Brooklyn); Medical Society

itary hospitals; assistant surgeon U. S.

2eutics, ETC., certlfies that very desir-'
sble new departure has been made by
;he introduction of Red Star Cough
Cure; that in addition to the rare qua'%
ity of beng entirely vegetable and harm
less, he finds it to be an ingenious CON-
pound, pleasant to take and of remark
