SCENES OF NEW YORK.
BY JOHN BROPHY

IT'S night, and Broadways splendor
A tale Of thraldom tells,
AS mingling with the chinks of gold
Are Trinity sweet bells,
The air is strange, my thoughts are sad,
For as | walk along,
Wan faces pinched with hunger CLEAN
Amid that glittering throng;
And although softly ringing
In music's sweetest chime,
Those sllvery bells seem pealing out,
Woe, Want, and Crime.
The jewels in yon lady's ear
Would clothe this poor girl here,
Who shivers in the chilling blast,
No doubt my ladys peer;
While millionaire on pauper looks
With cold Implying eye;
How strange that brothers thus unknown
Should pass each other by.
My heart takes up the sad refrain
And beats in measured time
With Ginning bells which seem to say
Woe, Want, and Crime.
Past Trinity, the Bowery soon
Blazes in my view,
Where vice and woe at night will show
What poverty will do;
Where the demi.monde with open arms
The friendless ones receive;
Where diamonds CLEAN on libertines
While women pluck my sleeve;
Oh, the bells are in the distance,
And fainter is their chime,
But clearer still they seem to ring,
Woe, Want, and Crime.
The girl on Broadway here can turn
From hunger want and cold,
This is the city's market place
Where chastity is Sold
These gilded hells are Ravens where
The crowded out have fled,
Where woman's virtue often is
The price that's paid for bread
And ringing now in clarion notes,
No softness in their chime,
A thousand bells seem pealing out,
Woe, Want, and Crime
Thelaw is deaf, the judges say,
And Justice has no eyes,
While ermine often does conceal
\ A "crook" in safe disguise.
THE tinancier may plumber all,
| The world will on him smile;
The famished wretch who steals loaf
Is sent to Blackwells Isle.
And swelling now in angry notes,
A warning in the chime,
Those pealing bells are laundering out,
Woe, Want, and Crime.
turn to Bedloe's Island where
Bartholdis falsehood stands,
With beacon bright to lure to death
The poor of other lands,
And ask how long will strong men starve
And ruined women weep?
How long will babes in hunger pine,
How long will Justice sleep?
And halls, and hells and novels,
As the Torch of Freedom" shines,
The Goddess see MS to mock the dirge
OF Woe, Want, and Crime.
But the longest day must have an end,
The longest lane turn,
The slave beneath a vengeful heel
His master yet may spurn.
The citys bells may yet ring out
A menace in their chime,
For revolution is the fruit
OF Woe, Want, and Crime.

The Proper Way to Drink.

Says the Sanitary Inspector regarding ex- ercising care in drinking. An exchange notices as a wise precaution the act of a Philadelphia physician, who, while riding in a railroad car, gave one of his children a drink of water by spreading clean hand kerchief over the top of the glass to pre- vent the contact of the child's lips with the tumbler. A still better expcdient, with the same object in view, has often been resort ed to by the writer, and his children have been instructed to practice the same pre- caution when obliged to drink from mug or tumbler on the cars, steanboats CT at public drinking fountains. It consists ia bringing the lower edge Of the drinking cup beneath the lower lip, instead of letting it come in contact with the mucuous mcm- brane of the mouth. Teach the children to stick their whole bill into the cup when they take a drink under such circum- stances, for it avoids real and consider able danger of infection from certain con- tagiOuS diseases.

Onion .In.ce as Il Paste.

Paper pasted. gummed, or glued on to metal, especially if it has a bright surface, usually com, s off on tho slightest provOca- tion, leaving the adhesive material on the back of the paper, with Q surface bright and slippery as ice. The cheaper descrip- tion of clock dials arc printed on paper and then stuck on zine, but for years the diff culty was to get the paper and metal to ad- here. It is, however, said to be now over come by dipping the metal into strong and hot solution Of Ofwashug- soda. afterward scrubbing perfectly dry with clean rag. Onion juice Is then applied to the surface of the metal and the label pasted and fixed in the ordinary way. It is said to be almost impossible to separate paper and metal thus joined.

STATESMEN AT HOME.
Some of the COuntry's Famous Characters
 in Domestic Life.


 in Domestic Life.
 Most of OUT statesmen, says Hdrper's Bazdr, have pure domestic records, and most of them have been ardent lovers, and have made good husbands. Thomas Benton was devoted to his wife, and he says in his thirty years memoirs that he never attend ed anyplacc of fcsuvity or amusement after her death. The wife of Senator Allen, of Ohio, better known as "FoE-Horn " Allen, died at Washington during the winter of 1s47. It was before the days of railroad to the West, and tbe old Senator carried her corpse home to Ohio over the mountains, riding beside it on horseback during the day and watching it at night throughout the cold, dreary journey, until at last he laid it beside her father, Governor Arthur, in the beautiful cemetery at Chiiliccthe. Stephen A. Douglas the little giant of Illinois, was twice married, and it is said that he courted Mary Todd at tue same time that her hand was sought by Abraham Lincoln. Miss Todd, on being asked which of the two she intended to marry, replied the one she thought had the best chance of being Presi- dent of the United States.
 When Lincoln was elected this remark became prophetic Douglas afterward mar ried Miss Martha Martin, the daughter of Colonel Robert Martin, rich planter and slave-owner from one of the Caroliras. She brought fortune, including a number of slaves, into the family, and died in 1850, about seven years after Der marriage A few years later Senator Douglas married again, and this time he chose d beautiful girl who was employed in the departments at Washington. Her name was Adele Cutts, and she survived him, marrying again after his decease. George Bancroft was married twice. His second wife, who died several years ago, was very popular in Washing ton and was noted society figure. Henry A. Wise, the noted Virginia statesman of Tyler's day. was married three times. His first love was the daughter Of one of his professors at college, Miss Jennings, whom he married in Tennessee, and with whom he went on wedding tour to pay a visit to Andrew Jackson at the Herm tage His second wife was the daughter of John Sergeant, the Wbig candidate for the Presi- dency in 1882. Wise proposed 70 Miss Ser geant. it is said, on the dome of the capitol at Washington, and one of the results of the marriage was John Sergeant Wise, the Vir- ginia statesman of the present day. John S Wise was born ct Rio Janeiro, where his father was officiating Gs Minister at the time. At the moment of his birth his father determined to have him born under the American flag, and ran up dozen on diff ferent parts of the consular mansion.

EXTERNAL COVER NMENT.
How tho Early Settlers of Connecticut
 Managed Their Affairs.

How tho Early Settlers of Connecticut
 Managed Their Affairs.
 The early settlers of Connecticut lived under patcrnal Government. The General Court Of cacl Ca; aliy, says the YyuthS COnl- pdnioa, granted land to a company of per sons who wished to plant" new town, and authorized them to establish a ''planta- tion" and church The court looked after all matters that rertained to the welfare ot the colony. One year it ordered that every householder who kept a team should plant one spoonful of English hemp-seed. The next year one rood of hemp or flax was to be sown,
 On complaint being made that some per sons could not procure hemp-secd, the court ordered that any family having more than a spoonful of seed, and refusing to sell it, must plaut It Tine object of the court was to scl ere material for the making of ''linen cloth"
 The court ordered the constables to keep watcnful eye upon individuals whose ap- parel exceed. their rank, and to arrest any person T.o demanded an exorbitant price for the article he offered for sale.
 When labor troubles arose the court made ont a schedule of wages, and an nounced the number of hours winch should con. litule d working day. From March 10 to October il twenty pence. and no more, might be asllS1 for a days work by car penters, plow-wrights, wheelwrights, ma sons, joincrs, smiths and coopers, During the rest Of the year they could not ask above eighteen pence. Eleven hours in summer and nine in winter constituted working day.
 The penalty for giving or taking larger wages than those mentioned m the schedule was the "ccusGre of the court" which had the power of making its censure felt on the person of the offenders. It could order them ito be whipt at carts tail'' upon some public day, or ito stand upon the pill lory.n
 The necessities of a new colony compelled the colouists tO adopt principles and measures which. two hundred years later, are advo- cated by those known as German Socialists. The New Haven colony anticipated the mod ern idea favored by certain thinkers. It sought to restrict the eagerness of the col oaists for acquisition of land by taxing up- land aud meadow at four pence an acre, and inferior land at two pence It allowed no sales to outsiders without the approval of the General Court, and 1t reserved to her com monwealth all common lands and ''clay- pitsu

The Youngest Moons.

The fact that the satellites of Mars were not discovered until 1611 is considered very remarkable by Mons. E.

He believes that several others of these asteroids are jkeiy to become moons of Mars,
