"Saint Peter sits out by the heay.
emily gates; his hands on the strings
of a lire; and he sings low song as
he patiently waits for the souls Of
those who expire. He hears in the
distance the chorus of song, that
swells at the foot of the throne; and
he smilesa as the music is waited along
and MARBLES this lay of his own:
There is room in this region for
millions of souls, who by sorrow and
woe are hereft: it's for those who
have suffered the melody rolls, but
the kickers must turn to the left.
There is room for the people who
when they were young persisted in
sowing wild oats, but who boom up
their city with stneW and tongue, the
kickers must go with the goats.
There is room for the people who
pointed with pride, of their town,
who kept singing its, praises and
charms till they died, but the kickers
will please amble down. The'd say
the music was all out of tune, and
the angelic robes hand.me. downs,
and they'd send for jeweler off to
the.moon to sample the golden crowns.
So while there is room for million
of souls, who by sorrow and woe
were bereft, we want no complaints
of the mus ic that rolls, SO the kiokers
will turn to the left. :"

Sweet Revenge.

Napoleon's impudent apology for Selling
Holland, that it was a country formed by the
alluvium of French rivers, and so belonged
rightfully to France, can scarcely have af-
forded the Dutch much satisfaction, for they,
like all patriotic people, are rather sensitive
to the peculiarities of their country. More
over, like other partisans they are likely to
receive an occasional well directed missile, if,
living in glass houses, they attempt to throw
stones
An Englishman, in exploring the North and
Baltic seas on his yacht Falcon, once picked
up pilot, who made sundry sarcastic and
patronizing remarks as to the leaky condition
of the Falcon, for she was boat requiring
constant pumping
Presently across the bikes doomed up an
enormous congregation of windmills
"What do you haveall these windmills fora"
asked sailor.
''To pump de water off de land" replied
the pilot. "If those was not always turn
ing round, us Hollanders would soon all be
drowned"
swell, pilot" returned the captain, ''you
were very severe just now because our boat
leaked, but you must confess that your coun-
try leaks harder still"
The pilot smiled, in spite of himself, but
said nothing.-Youth's Companion.

Afraid of a Libel Suit,

The Man About Town numbers among its
most valued friends the city editor of GER
tain daily paper-a sober, thoughtful man
full of kindness and generosity, close in his
application to duty and possessed of q whole
some fear Of involving his employers in
costly libel suit. It is related of him that he
detailed certain number of the local staff to
write q report of sermon delivered at one
of the local churches by q celebrated eastern
divine, who had chosen as a basis for the les
son he would teach the story of the treachery
of Judas Iscariot. The preacher painted in
blacklist colors the character of the most
noted of the worlds traitors, and drew from
the story the conclusion that Judas was a
thief The reporter embodied this deduction
in his report of the sermon and consigned his
manuscript to the tender mercies of the ruth
less blue pencil. In moment tho trained
eye of the editor caught the sentence, Judas
was thief" and slap through it went the
pencil The editor feared a libel suit brought
by some of his lineal descendantp.-St Louis

Food and Rest for the Brain.

Mental effort causes waste of tissue ele-
ments quite as much as bodily exertion, and
this demands a full supply of food What
with dyspepsia and absence of appetite, the
results Of deficient exercise, and the influence
of preconceived ideas as to the use OF disuse
of special articles of food, the brain worker
is apt to receive too little nutriment to make
up for the waste. Especially is this the case
when he, unconsciously, perhaps, replaces
food by the use of tobacco, tea, alcohol or
opium.
Some advise to go supperless to bed. This
most medical authorities of the day think is a
wrong notion. 1t is a fruitful source of in
somnia and neurasthenia. The brain becomes
exhausted by its evening work, and demands
rest and refreshment of its wasted tissues, not
by indigestible salads and 'fried abomina
tions," but by some nutritious, easily digested
and assimilated articles. A bowl Of stale
bread and milk, of rice, OF some other fari-
naceous food, with milk or hot soup, would
be more to the purpose. Any of these would
insure sound nights sleep, from which the
man would awaken refreshed.-Cincinnati

The Power of Imitation,

know of no more appalling example of the
power of one life to influence another in far
distant periods than that which is afforded by
the strange and horrible history of the Mare
chal de Retz. A man of noble birth, great
wealth, great distinction as soldier, and high
in favor with his sovereign, he took to the
most horrible course of child murder of which
we have any narrative; and when at last
driven to confession he made his statement as
to the origin of his crimes ''The desire to
commit these atrocities came upon me eight
years ago. I left court to go to Chansonce
that might claim the property of my grand
father deceased. In the library of the castle
found a Latin book-Suetonius, believe
full of accounts of the cruelties of the Roman
emperors. read the charming history of
Tiberius, Caracalla and other Caesars, and the
pleasure they took in watching the agonies of
tortured children. Thereupon 1 resolved to
initiate and surpass these same Caesars, and
that very night beganto do so."-The Con-
temporary Review.
