LES MlSERABIES.

For what are we thankful o sages, declare,
From your high, carven pulpits TO suffering men;
Wolist to your sermon, your anthem, your prayer,
Your soft benediction. No answer is there
To the question ask you the chill autumn air
Blows the words to our faces again,
You've talked of tho merchant ships sailing tho
seas.
And told o; the treasures the harvest would yield;
trees;
or the odorous breath of tho vine on the breeze;
But whence comes the mandate the law that de-
creeS
That we starve in tho brown stubblefleldf
We battcd at noonday with dust and with heat;
We sang and wo jcstcd to tighten our toll;
We hoped the drcar winter with plenty to greet
All, tho mirage to near faintng hearts SO
sweet
But empty our hands, baro and blcctiing our feet;
Tho labor was ours, not the spoil.
The harvests are garnercd, tho myriad shcaves
That piled tho wide fields like gold from the mino
Fill up tho great barns from the Goor to the eaves
Tho grapes that grew ripe amidst whispering
leaves
Stain red, laughing lips while n starving one
GROVES
Outside for the dregs of tho wine.
For what aro wo thankful? For prisons and pain;
For our babes murd'ring sleep with their famish,
ing cries;
For tho snow and tho sleet, tho wind and the rain
Beating out tho dull lifo from tho heart and the
BRAN:
| For the grave wo at last In potter's field gain;
| For tho stone with its deeply cut lies.

Tho Faco of n Scoundrcl.

Undoubtedly Cagliostro was the most
able and successful scoundrel who ever
lived. Thomas Carlyle, after carefully
inspecting his portrait, describes his face
as follows: ''Fittest Of visages were
they to bo worn by the quack of quacksl
A most portentous face of scoundrelism;
flat, snub, abominable face; fiat nosed,
greasy, full Of greediness, sensuality, ak
like obstinacy; forehead impudent, re-
fusing to be ashaned; and then two eyes
turned up seraphically languishing, as if
in divine contemplation and alteration;
q touch Of quiz, too; on the whole, per-
hapStLe most perfect quacli face pro-
dY S;ghteenth century."-De-

HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Facts That &C, .tensrians Supply-EatinS
Too Much.

Too Much.
Blessed Gro the poverty stricken, if
longevity be blessing. The majority
of the eighty-four ceutenarians who were
alive in France at the taking of the last
census were extremely poor. There were
twenty-ouo of them living OH aims as
beggars or in almshouses. The open air
life of shepherd must be also condu-
Give to long life. A beggar named Rives,
at Tarbes, was born in ITO, and
woman who herded goats in the Ceven-
mes mountains had exceeded 11S years.
Widows survive into great old age;
their husbands more often than widow
ers pay such bad compliment to their
wives. The proportion of tho centenarian
widows as compared to the same class of
widowers was as Al to % in 1884. Is
this because the ungentle sex are the
more deeply sentimental, or tho gentle
ones eat less and have better regulated
| tempers?
You know--or perhaps you don't
know-that nothing hastens senility like
habitual guzzling. Would it not be well
10 hang up the above statistics in the
dining rooms Of city companies and at
the Mansion house? Your elderly guz-
zler on tho shady side Of middle life is,
though he lives, in many respects dead.
His brain is starved by the clogging Of
the hair like arteries which used to feed
it. Tho sediment that chokes them
comes of too nutritive food and TOO much
of it. His bones are dense and weighty,
his muscles rigid, his knuckles challiy,
and his lungs and throat ready to catch
cold. Turkish baths keep off, in n de-
gree, these effects, but the best plan is not
to bo gourmand.
Those centenarian beggars, dare say,
bad not the means of eating heavily, and
few in the south Of France, to whicl
they belong, drink deep Meat, too, is

1t Is fact worth noting that most of
the families who were raised to high
positions and profusely gilded by the First
Napoleon are extinct, and that those still
existing are represented chiefly by
women. The First Empire and its wars
did not play havoc with the dukes and
princes who sprang up around it's head.
The harm was done by the second en-
pire, whose ideal was faire bombance.

not otherwise contain themselves. But

not return unless in the custody OF an officer
of the law. 1t is also said he has in his

statement is also made that the First Ma

but no attempt was made toward his ar
