My Birthday-By Whittier.


Whittier, the poet, celebrated his 80th birth
lay on Saturday, the 18th of December. Thes
eautiful lines were written by him for the oe
aston.
Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my latest year;
The winter winds are wailing low
It's dirgeS in my ear.
grieye not with the moaning wind
As if a loss befell
Before me, even as behind,
God is, and all is well!
Rest for the weary hands is good.
And love for hearts that pine,
But let the manly habitude
OF upright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh,
Dear Lord, the languid air;
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength of spirit share.
And, if the eye must fail of light,
The ear forget to hear,
Make clearer still the spirit sight,
More fine the inward ear!
Be near me in my hours of need
To soothe. or cheer, or warn,
And down these slopes OF sunset lead
As up the hills of morn

the bench an night for several days, and al
lunch time their meals (sandwiches) were
fetched to them. Tempted by the smell Of
food at the late hours of the night, and made
audacious by the protecting gloom of the
cavernous old shop, which afforded multi
tudinous lurking places, the rats trooped out
I'm such numbers ON the second night that the
men had to throw biscuits TO the advancing
army to keep it at bay.
In some Water street buildings the work
men rarely go below stairs after nightfall
In one old shed on that street, the walls of
which are literally perforated with rat holes,
let a man sit alone and silent in one of its
compartments after dark, and he will soon
hear the gathering of an invisible host. The
walls fairly seem to be alive the floor stirs
with the soft patter of myriad of footballs,
and creeping sensation goes over the lonely
visitor as he feels the almost inaudible adj
vance of vermin life nearing him. A sudden
noisy movement is sufficient to send the host
hurrying back to its retreats, but the sensa-
ton is less easily removed.
The sewer is the true home of the wharf
rat, and it is his last fortress of safety when
he is pursued. In the slime of the city sewer
he finds the offal and the GARBAGE that he
Graves and of cast off human rags he builds
his nest-hiS home Some of the sewers are
high enough for the street workmen to pass
through from the center of the city to the
mouth at the river shore. They let down
ladder at the manhole when repairs are to be
made, descend into the black tunnel and,
with their duly cleaning lanterns before
them, advance along the shiny, fetid corridor
to the place where the breach is to be mended
AS they pass on the rats fall back, but the
men hear the scurrying of the innumerable
sewer tenants continually retreating, and
sounding in the dismal and echoing void like
an elusive ghostly whisper Once, while the
men were at work in the Franklyn street
branch sewer, under Bath street, a big army
of rats, led by curiosity and tempted by the
muteness of the motionless workers, ap-
preached TO within few feet, so that the
background of gloom was starred with a
thousand gittering and shifting eyeballs.
The men needed no other stimulus yllum the
presence of these uncanny sewer watchers to
speed their operations.
In all the seacoaSt cities Of New C"~,ard
the gray Norway rat is numerous. uo.u G:.u
intrusive. He came to this COUNTY, "!ur:,:,
the first assisted" emigrants III suip~ rom
Britain, and he quickly drove the b.S, na..d
some and harmless native black rat away
from the coast. The black American fellow
is rarely met with now, except III towns re
mote from the sea. He is not robust or vora-
cious enough to stand his ground against the

general revival of trade at DreisS, Thompson

customers of so many free trial bottles of DR..

GESTURE LANGUAGE.
PEOPLE WHO EXPRESS IDEAS WITH
&. THEIR HANDS AND FINGERS.
The Sign Converse of the Italians-Ges-
lures in Use Among Oriental Nations.
Significant Motions of School Children.
Hebrew Tradesman's Contempt.

The deaf mute is by no means the only person
who uses his fingers and hands as medium
of conversation. Among Orientals and
many European nations, especially those of
the Latin race, gestures form an important
part in the transmission Of ideas and infor-
nation, the story going that the proceedings
in an Arabian court of justice are often
transacted without the utterance of a single
word.
A peculiar instance of the set use of ges-
lures is related in an old volume of Once
Week. 1t seems that Turkish mail steamer
proceeding from ConStantinople to Cavalla
lost her way, although the trip was taken in
full daylight, and Notwithstanding that a
number of naval officers were on board.
These Osmanli officers were noticed strug-
Cling with a chart IN the saloon and every now
and then one of them would rush up to the
deck only to return without word, but with
the same unvarying gesture. The right hand
was held with the fingers pointing upward
as if to raise plate fat on their tips, and
raised to the level Of the temple, a short turn
being given to the wrist as though to set the
plate spinning The gesture meant per
pleXity, or in plain words that they
had lost their way. Had the officers
in this lUdicrous predicament been Amer
lean or English, one would have shrugged
his shoulders, a second would have scratched
his poll, third rubbed his forehead, and so
on. Here each befezzed gentleman made the
same gesture, repeated, in fact, national
sign.
The writer Of the article next morning
asked several of the same officers what hal
become of a small gunboat that had been
bearing them company. Every one replied
with short Ratchet movement Of the right
hand, gradually increasing the length Of the
chop. This meant that the boat had gone
away, and the same gesture, it was found,
was repeated throughout Turkey whenever
it was wished to intimate that some one or
something had departed
AMONG ORIENTAL NATIONS.
Among nearly all Oriental nations the
hands crossed over the breast is an uufu.liug
gesture to I2Girate humility or sUbscrvioIre,
