No Need of Dying Young.

Bismarck is out in statement set ting forth. that he owes his rugged old age to the practice of bathing regularly and freely in cold water. Gladstone as eribes his longevity to the simplicity and regularity of his habits. Tennyson believes that his having celebrated his eighty-first birthday is due to his not having worried or fretted over the small affairs of life. Von Moltke thought his ripe old age was owing to temperance in all the affairs of life and plenty of exercise in the open air. De Lesseps thinks he owes his advanced age to like causes. Taking all these life-giving agencies together, and con sidering how easy they are of attain ment, there doesn't seem to be any good and sufficient reason why we should die young.

Among the curiosities of literature possessed by one of the big libraries of New York city, after long search, is the edition of the Scriptures, published in several small volumes, known as the "Wiclsed Bible" There are two sets of books to which this title applies. One was published in England in 1881 and the other in Germany about century later. Their peculiarity consists of the omission of the word mot" in the Seventh Commandment. Both editions are perfect in other respects. The his

bridge, Mass, Nov. 30, 1879. He was educated in his native village, and came to New York when he was fifteen years old, his brother David Dudley obtaining a situation for him in the establishment of A. T. Stewart. On coming of age he engaged in paper-maliing, and built up highly prosperous trade. While he was still young man, his attention was turned to the undertaking which was to constitute the leading feature of his career The idea of carrying teie- graph line across the Atlantic ocean, suggested to him in conversation with his brother Matthew, ;u lS5. or ta"rc- about, took firm hold ot his mind, and was never abandoned for a moment until crowned with com plete success. But it wa me-. tsnys bafiled by grievous failures, 'i.G.r int ments and delays. The story has ben often told, and need not here be re- peated in detail. The first cable, laid in 1858, was operated for few weeks, but the transmission of messages was slow and difficult, and at length failed altogether. The conditions and re- quirements of ocean tclcgraphy were then but imperfectly understood. ana further investigation and experiment were demanded for their complete mas tery; but the brief success of this first cable occasioned the widest eXulta- tion in all parts of the country. 1t was premature rejoicing, which nevcrthc- less was fully justified by the final
 The civil war soon followed, and not until 1865 was the undcrtaiipggcucwad, with the aid of the Great Eastern sasau- ship. Twelve hundred miles of the cable had been laid when it parted and another heavy loss of labor and lQa- terial was recorded. In 1866 the c.-2rt was repeated, and this time with per manent success, and with results known to all the world. Since then 'Ocean telegraphy has been an cstab- fshed means of intercourse among civ ilized nations. In all these years of de ferred hope and constant trial, Mr. Field never lost faith in the Atlantic cable He not only worked for it at home and subscribed a one-fourth in terest in the company, but crossed the ocean some fifty times in its behalf. giving to it in all twelve years of con stant effort. Of his share of the crcdi due for it's final success the popular es timatc, and that which history vii doubtless sustain, was expressed h.

 In later years Mir. Fields name has been familiar to the public through his active interest in the elevated rail road system by which the comfort and speed of travel in the streets of New York and Brooklyn have been so large ly enhanced, and, it may almost be said, the continued growth of the metropo- lis rendered possible. Of Mr. Fields three brothers, the eldest, David Dudley Field, is one of the most cmi- nent of American lawyers. stephen J.

.ne Poor Queen of China.

The queen of China is really to be pitied. At least so say the Chinese cor respondents. As the very young wife of her boy husband she is entitled to a very large slice of royal good times. But the empress dowager is a strong minded lady and rules with an iron hand. She is a woman of powerful physique, stril<ingly handsome, and of so firm and strong disposition that all other wills must bend to hers. When the emperor inadvertently does some. thing to displcasc her he is made tc regret it and as for his poor wife she has nothing to say at all. She isn't even allowed to have a good time ai she might have if she were left alonS.

SREET MEMORIES.

When winter huIls her bitter ,leet
Across the unprotected moor
The traveller, with hasty feet,
Speeds on toward the open door;
But though the sharp fanged, nipping air
May crust his beard with icy rime,
1t cannot from his memory tear
Tho sweet delights of summer tims.
So every memory borne of joy
Will live as long as life shall last
No changes can the charm destroy
'Tis proof against every arrow cast.
A backward view recalls tho hours
That once our youthful pulses thrilled,
As aromatic summer flowers
Live in the scent of them distilled,
Tho memory Of childhood passed
Beneath gentle mothers sway,
With ,ove's sweet mantle DER it cast,
Can never wholly pass away.
Whatever adult fate we earn,
Whate'er the oensure or the praise,
Still will the fond heart sometimes turn
Back to those careless, happy days.
Then lot us, as we journey on,
Endeavor some sad heart to chcor;
Twill be an act to think upon
When ending our probation here
A Joy to know that after death
Has set the restless spirit free
There still lives in onr mortal breath
Some fondly cherished memory.
