Health i'm Chinese Cities.

The healthfulness of Chinese cities
has been ingeniously attributed by
some people to the universal habit OF
tanning, a practice which is said to
keep the air in constant circulation.
How far this really affects the issue re-
mains to be decided, but the real Sc
cret Of the immunity from sickness,
and notably from the villianous water
universally used, lies in the invariable
custom of boiling all water intended
Tor drinking. As a matter of fact, the
Chinese never drink cold water. The
national beverage is tea, and this is
always ''on tap" even in the houses OF
The poor. Every little hamlet, too,
has shop where hot water can be
bought for trifling sum at any hour
Of the day or night.

Mr.. Gladstone's Message to Young Mon.

Be sure that every one of you has
his place and vocation on this earth,
and that it rests with himself to find
it. Do not believe those who too
lightly say nothing succeeds like sue
cess. Effort, honest, manful, humble
effort, succeeds by its reflected action,
especially in youth, better than success,
which, indeed, too easily and to early
gained, not seldom serves, like win
ming the first throw of the dice, to
blind and stupefy. Get knowledge, all
you can. Be thorough in all you do.
and remember that though ignorance
often may be innocent, pretcntion is
always despicable. But you, like men,
be strong. and exercise your strength.
Work EDWARDS and work upwards; and
may the blessing of the Most High
soothe your cares clear your vision,
and crown your labors with reward.

An Arab Saying.

Remember, three things come not back:
The arrow sent upon its track
1t will not swerve, it will not stav
Its speed, it flies to wound or slay:
The spoken word, so soon forgot
BY thee, but it has persisted not,
In other hearts tits living still,
Aud doing work for good or i'll;
And the lost opportunity,
That cometh back no more to thee:
In vain thou weepest, in vain dost
vearn,
Those three will nevermore return.

recently. A gentleman, a well-known

suddenly received violent blow on

great pain ahd to stumble forward as
he walked. He noted cracking
noise at the time. but had not the
slightest idea of the cause of the shock
he had experienced. Reaching home
he disrobed and submitted to critical
examination, but nothing was discov-

the great pain in both shoulder and
arm. A servant sent to brush the

Writing a Famous. Poem.

The poem of "Curfew Must Not Ring
Tonight" was suggested to me by the
reading of story called "Loye and 10y
atty" in April, 1867. was then plain,
country school girl, not yet seventeen, re-
siding with my parents at Litchfeld,
Michigan, and under the pretext of work
ing out mathematical problems, with my
arithmetic before me, L wrote the poem
roughly on my slate. was forced to carry
on my literary work under these difficulties
because of the opinion OF my parents that
my time could be better employed than in
"idle- dreams and. useless rhymes" wrote
the first copy on my slate, between four
and six o'clock in the afternoon; but much
time has since been spent in correcting and
revising it. L had no thought that l
would ever be able. to- write anything
worthy of public notice. The poem was
first published in the. Detroit Coasasercial
Aduertiser in the fall of 1870. The editor
upon receipt of my manuscript, at
once wrote. me a lengthy letter of
congraiulation, and praise, in which he
predicted the popularity for the verses
which they have since enjoyed. had no
literary friends, not even literary ac-
qnaintance at that time, and did not know
the simplest requirements for preparing
my manuscript for publication. The poem
seemed to at once attract public attention.
1t raised me from. a shy, obscure country
girl into public notice, and brings to my
side yearly hosts of new and delightful
friends. Wherever | 90, nay friends are
there before me, and the poem-whlch l
gave to the public with no right re-
served"-while it has made fortune for
others and dropped golden coins in other
pockets has reserved for its anthor s'ylde
circle of admiring friends. The first and
only remuneration l ever received for the
poem was three years ago when the editor
of the Brooklyn Magazine reproduced the
poem in a fac-simile autograph form,
which l had given him. With delicate
sense of Justice he sent me u most comph..
| mentary cheek for the simple privilege ol q
reproduction. 1t was quite surprise to
me, but none the less pleasing. That
editor is now the present editor OF the

MASTER OF THE HOUSE.

MASTER OF THE HOUSE.
He cannot walk, he cannot speak,
Nothing he knows of men;
He is the weakest of the weak,
And has not strength to hold pen;
He has no pocket and no purse,
Nor ever yet has owned a penny,
But has more riches than his nurse,
Because he wants not any.
He rules his parents by cry,
And holds them captive by smile
A despot. strong through infancy,
A king. through lack OF guile.
He lies upon his back and crows,
Or looks with grave eyes upon his mother,
What can he mean? But 1 suppose
They understand each other.
Indoors or out, early or late;
There is no limit TO his way;
For, rapt in baby robes of state,
He governs night and day.
Kisses he takes as rightful due,
And, Turk-like, has his slaves to dress him;
His subjects bend before him, too,
I'm one of them-God bless him.
