An Abolitionist Hou sehold.

There was refreshing simplicity
about the anti-slavery issues as they
lay in the minds Of Garrisonian Adolf
tionists. They were very nourishing to
the soul, though they sometimes con-
duced to the spirit of self-righteousness,
and induced habit of disobedience to
the old command that we should Judge
not, lest we be judged. My private
opinion is that most of these so-called
fanatics, whether with or without good
reason for their courage, would have
feared no judgment which could have
been melted out to them on earth or in
heaven. They did not see two sides to
any phase of their great question.
There was to them one only right and
one only wrong in all matters appertain-
ing TO it. As for worldly wisdom, they
believe the phrase to be contradiction
in terms. There was but one wisdom,
and that was not of this world,-it was
of God. They were called irreligious
because they termed the American
church a brotherhood of thieves. The
fact was that the certainty Of their re-
ligious conviction as to right and wrong
gave them the cool daring to use such
phrases. They held that God cared for
consequences when men did their duty.
1t was strong doctrine for eager, inn
pressible children to imbibe. In our
household we took it very seriously.
Anti-slavery held the place in our FAM
lily life which had been withdrawn from
the occupancy of church influences,
since they had been deemed tainted by
the spirit of moral compromise. We
made no jest and no play about any
thing concerned with Abolitionisn,-
unless it could be considered triiiing
with the sacred subject to name q pet
kitten after Jesse Fremont. But then
Garfisonians were so much mora ultra
than Republicans that tampering with
MIRA Fremont's name scarcely favored
an approach to the inner temple of the
family political creed. We used TO play

SOME POPULAR PALACES.
Delusions In Which MANY Persons
Are Believers.

Are Believers.
A very common error is to suppose
that birds sleep with the head beneath
the wing, says the London Public
Opinion. No bird ever sleeps so; the
head is turned round and laid upon
the back, where it is often conceal ed
by feathers.
That dogs are kept in health by the
addition of birthstone to their drink
iig water. Seeing that stone brim-
stone is utterly insoluble in water. |
fail to perceive what use it can possibly
be to the dog.
That cows are fond OF buttercups.
Cows, as we'll as horses, in grazing
carefully avoid these plants, which,
like all the ranunoulacce, are harsh,
astriagent, and somewhat poisonous.
That washing the face in morning
dew improves the complexion. Dew
is distilled water, but; being merely
very pure water, it can not exercise
any special influence on the skin. l
am unwilling, however, to dispel this
pleasing illusion and therefore say:
''By all means, young ladies, wash
your faces in the morning dew in full
belief of it's efficacy. To do so
you must rise early and breathe the
pure morning air. This will benefit
your health and no doubt your COM
plexion at the same time" This is
undoubtedly the lesson intended to be
inculcated.
That fire is extinguished by the
sun shining on it. The effect in this
case is apparent, not real. A fairly
good fire looks little better than
heap of white ashes under the power
full light of the suns rays.
That there is economy in putting
fire. bricks or clay-balls into a fire.
Considering that whatever heat they
give out is derived from the fire itself
and that, being themselves utterly in
combustible, they contribute nothing
to the heat of the fire, there can be no
economy in their use. Our method of us
ing fuel is, however terribly wasteful.
A very large percentage of combustible
matter, as we'll as heat, goes up the
flue and is wasted.
That pipes are burst by sudden
thaw. The thaw merely finds out the
bursting that has already been affected
by the frost. 1t is the expansion OF
water when passing into the icy state
that bursts water-pipes OF whatever
material.
That the bones are brittle in frosty
weather. No doubt more bones are
broken in the winter than In summer,
but it is due TO the slippery state Of
the reads at that season, not to speak
of accidents on the ice, and not to any
abnormal condition OF our bones.
That "thunderbolts" are tangible
realities that can be handled and pre-
served as curiosities. The only
thunderbolt is the flash of lightning,
often no doubt very destructive, but
never accompanied by any solid. The
only solid bodies that ever fall to the
earth from the sky are aerolites or
bolides, bodies coming from outer
space and have nothing to do with
thunder-storms.
That mirrors attract lightning and
should be covered or turned to the
wall during q thunderstorm. This is
pure illusion, arising from the fact
that mirrors reflect the lightning flash
and thus add to the terror and apparent
danger of the storm.

ization which has excited considerable
comment in the press of that State.
Ladies and gentlemen of certain
churches have agreed to break up we'd
ding engagements by fair means if pos
sibIe, between young ladies in their
teens and young men or old, who are
known to be habitual drinkers. It rs
kept secret as far as possible, ana yet
several manageable young men have
felt its refrigerating force. They have
been frozen out from the objects of
their alleged affections.

AKnock-Down and a Dinner,

During the occupation of Paris by the
allies, Wellington gave an order that no
English officer should give q challenge
to or accept one from French officer.
A French Marshal, shortly after this or
der. showed an English Colonel from the
pavement into the street. The English
man knocked him down. When the
Marshal made formal complaint, the
Duke sent written reprimand to the
Colonel and in it inclosed an invitation

A Tall Negro.

Orlando, Fla, has a colored citizen
who carries the top Of his head feet
81 inches above terra firma, and as he
is OF slender build, he appears much
taller. His name is Bob Washington.
Bob's pedal extremities have paced
along in growth evenly with the rest of
his anatomical development, and he is
of little use as q hoe-hand. his feet
covering up all the grass in reach, but
for gathering oranges without the aid
Of step-ladder he is a success.

Solitary Confinement

The mental effects OF solitary con-
finement on the prisoner have been dis
cussed recently in France. DR.. De
Petra Santa. who is a well-known au-
thority on hygiene, has studied the
matter at the prison at Mazas, and has
come to the conclusion that this form
Of Imprisonment develops tendency
to melancholia, with an inclination for
suicide, even where there is no such
predisposition before the imprison-
ment begins.

One by One.
One by one the lights are dying,
All along the olden shore;
One by one the silent boatman,
Bears their gentle spirits DER,
One by one the stars are falling,
From our childhoOd's evening sky,
And their glories in departing
All about her portals lie
One by One-Oh sweet surprises
Crown the path his spirit fed;
On our wondering sense upr.ses
Faith to whisper, she's not dead.'
Aud the city just beyond us.
Seems its portals now so near,
Since its golden gates were opened
By the hand we held so dear,
Now from flower fields sweetest odors
Breath of myrrh and spikcnard scent
Borne on softly swaying breezes-
Ger heavens fretted battlement.
Now we list to catch vibrations,
From its chOirs of golden strings;
And our souls are turned to rapture
BY the melody it brings.
Now sit in sweet communion
Heart to heart and saint to saint
Till so lost in this reunion
We forget all weak complaint,
SO III this we name cur parting,
Heaven itself has come so near
That our world is reaching over
Into its clear atmosphere.

Technical Language.

A few years ago the funny men o.
the press found fertile field for joke,
in the Lingo" of the Concord School OF
Philosophy. No doubt there is ludic-
rous sound to such invented phrases As
"the thingness of the is"-an imitation
of the sound of phrases really in use;
but one ought to be quite sure before
laughing at any phrase which one does
not understand that the inability to
comprehend it does not arise from ig-
nOrance
CFor example, when we read that
"the tolane dichloride of higher melt
ing point is probably the a1ially SYM
metric modification, we are conscious
that we are reading q species of Eng
ish, and painfully aware that we do
not know what it is all about no
one laughs at it as nonsense. It means
something to chemists.
Occasionally much more familiar
words than those in the sentence just
quoted are used In highly technical
sense, and only those who are trained
to follow metaphysical reasoning can
catch the idea that is to be conveyed.
Here is a very good example of the
kind of writing alluded to.
1t is the production of truly great
man-Moritz Hauptmann, the great
est authority of his time on the theory
of music, and the instructor of such
famous composers as Felicien David,
Won Bulow, and Sir Arthur Sullivan.
And this is how Herr Hauptmann de-
fined sound:
"The coming to be of the being which
subsists absolutely during rest, and
which is alternately abolished and re-
stored. Not being in self, or dead per-
sistence in rest, nor yet being out of
self in the motion, is sounding, but
coming to self"
We may say, for the comfort of our
readers, that Herr Hauptmann's def
milton and theory of sound are not now
accepted by men of science. So they
need never try to learn what he meant
by this strange congregation of words

MINNIE MATILDA MURRELL, of Dork-

monial of the Royal Society for the
Protection of Life from Fire, and e5
for saving the lives of three young
children in September. The certif-

rescuing one child, returned to the
second floor, and, taking the two 9TH

downstairs, but was unable to do so.
She succeeded in reaching window
on the first floor, from which she
dropped the children safely into the

escaping in like manner.
