The Sheep vs. Dog Question. Tune, "Old Father Grimes." Let dogs delight to bark and bite, Or chase the buck and ewe; Let dogs eat sheep while farmers sleep, "For God has made them so." Let dogs come forth to fill the earth; Let sheep in plenty grow, To make the meat for dogs to eat, "For God has made them so." Let dogs a score surround each door— The lank, the lean, the low— Or track at night the lambkin's flight, "For God has made them so." Let flop-eared hounds range pasture grounds To scent the buck and ewe; Let curs yelp round as well as hound, "For God has made them so." Let every man keep, if he can, A dozen dogs in tow; And let their greed on mutton feed, "For God has made them so." Let man eat hogs—feed sheep to dogs— Raise mutton here below To feed the dogs, while man eats hogs, "For God has made them so." The Choir Invisible. BY GEORGE ELIOT. Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence; lives In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn Of miserable aims that end with self- bon at the throat and soft lace ruffles at the wrists, clung close to a beautiful form; and the hand that held the baby's was small, snowy white, and daintily shaped. All of which did the doctor take in in three quick glances, after the manner of his kind. "A seamstress!"—a princess!' was the judgment he pronounced mentally as he drew off his gloves, and, with unusual urbanity, proceeded to make some professional inquiries about the child. The seamstress answered in a wonderfully pleasant voice and in a remarkably well-bred and self-possessed manner. "Baby seems to be all right now," said she; "but I think you had better wait a little while, doctor, for fear the spasms might return." The doctor seated himself, not at all unwillingly, it must be confessed, and while the baby still slumbered entered into converse with his beautiful companion. In a few moments he found himself turning over the leaves of a Browning which he had taken from a small table by her side, and then, in another few moments, giving her, to his great surprise, his opinion of that writer and his works. I say, to his great surprise, for the doctor was really a shy, reserved man, and not at all given to talking poetry to pretty women; but this woman was so pretty. As he went on, waxing eloquent, it suddenly struck him that a needle-woman would not be familiar with these poems, and he paused, to have her, to his greater surprise, take up the subject, and deliver a criticism far better and cleverer than his own. From Browning and that more resplen- "For God has made them so." Let man eat hogs—feed sheep to dogs—Raise mutton here below To feed the dogs, while man eats hogs, "For God has made them so." The Choir Invisible. BY GEORGE ELIOT. Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence; live In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn Of miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars And with their mild persistence urge men's minds To raster issues. So to live is heaven: To make undying music in the world, Breathing a beauteous order, that controls With growing sway the growing life of man. May I reach That purest heaven,—be to other souls That cup of strength in some great agony,—Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty, Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in diffusion ever more intense! So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world. Boy's Grandmamma. "No, air!" said Dr. Stone, emphatically; "no widows. I've an unconquerable aversion to them, and have followed old Weller's advice to Samivel since my earliest boyhood, and most carefully bewared of 'em. If ever I marry, the bride must be a young girl; so young, in fact, that I can be almost sure—no one can be quite sure of any thing where a woman is concerned—that I am her first and only—Don't screw up your face in that outrageous manner, Payne; you look as though you were going to have a fit. Laugh and have done with it, and then let's stop talking nonsense; for I haven't the slightest idea of marrying, or falling in love, or any thing of the sort." "No old bachelor ever has," said Payne. "But I say, Doc, if I were you; I'd have a neat little card dangling from a button-hole bouquet, with the inscription, 'No Wildowa,' for, 'pon honor, you're exactly the sort of chap a well-to-do, pretty, susceptible widow would be spoons on. Handsome, clever, and just turned forty—" "Stuff!" growled the doctor. "What a fool you are, Payne! And then, glancing from the office window, he continued, as his friend, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, was about making some further remarks." And do be silent for a few moments, if such a thing be possible, for here comes young Phillips's nurse-maid, and in a hurry too, which is something remarkable for that usually easy-going and eminently genteel young person: "Well, my girl," as she entered the office, "what's the matter!" "Oh, doctor," she gasped, "baby's took very sick, and we're awful scared, and his mother's away, and won't be home till night." "Wouldn't be much good if she was," muttered the doctor; "a young bit of a thing, looking like a baby herself." "One of the kind a man might be he had taken from a small table by her side, and then, in another few moments, giving her, to his great surprise, his opinion of that writer and his works. I say, to his great surprise, for the doctor was really a shy, reserved man, and not at all given to talking poetry to pretty women; but this woman was so pretty. As he went on, waxing eloquent, it suddenly struck him that a needle-woman would not be familiar with these poems, and he paused, to have her, to his greater surprise, take up the subject, and deliver a criticism far better and cleverer than his own. From Browning and that more resplendent genius, his wife, to Tennyson, Dickens, Thackeray, and at last George Eliot, of whom the seamstress spoke with a deeper crimson on her cheeks and a brighter light in her glorious brown eyes. "Silas Marner," she said, "is the loveliest—" But by this time the doctor had become so interested in watching the play of the prettily curved lips and the bewitching dimples that came and went with every smile he ceased to hear what the enthusiastic speaker was saying; and when she, looking him straight in the face, asked, "Don't you agree with me, doctor?" he was obliged to stammer, "I beg a thousand pardons, but what was your last remark?" "It is I who should beg pardon," said the pretty seamstress, with a charming little grimace. "How thoughtless I have been! Of course you have patients waiting for you. How could I go on so?" The doctor wished she'd gone on forever. "But pray don't stay another minute; only tell me what to do if baby is taken sick again, and if I find I can't manage him. I'll send for you immediately. I hope however, to be able to get along without you." The doctor hoped she wouldn't internally, of course—and then he said, "I assure you, madam, I have still an hour at your service." Oh, wicked Dr. Stone and old Mrs. Aspen groaning with rheumatism and expecting you by appointment this blessed moment! "I shall be only too happy to stay—I mean, I think it necessary to remain. These childish complaints are, as perhaps you are not aware, often very dangerous." And again, oh, wicked Dr. Stone! for you know you are quite sure nothing serious is the matter with baby! Prescribe for yourself, doctor. It is you who have caught a "dangerous" malady. In spite of your sucers and scoffs all your life long at the tender passion—in spite of your emphatic declaration not more than an hour ago—you have fallen in love, and she isn't sweet sixteen, and she is—a seamstress. "A princess," he repeated to himself again, and then he said, aloud, "I will, at least, remain until the baby's grand-mamma arrives." "Oh, if that is all that detains you, go at once," said the fair one with the golden locks, a mischievous smile dancing over her lovely lips and in her big brown eyes. "She is here." "Here!" repeated the doctor. "Where?" Why didn't nurse tell you! I'm baby's grand-mamma,and dotingly fond of my grandson,too." Then out burst the merriest little laugh that was hushed in a moment for fear of waking the sleeping child; for the doctor's face was a comical study. A dozen different exquisite hairstyles which he had taken from a small table by her side,and then,在 another few moments,giving her,the great surprise,his opinion of that writer and his works.

"Oh, doctor," she gasped, "baby's took very sick, and we're awful scared, and his mother's away, and won't be home till night." "Wouldn't be much good if she was," muttered the doctor; "a young bit of a thing, looking like a baby herself." "One of the kind a man might be almost sure had never loved another—hey, Stone!" asked Payne. But Stone vouchsafed him no reply. "Who's with the child now?" he inquired of the frightened girl. "The seamstress, sir. We've sent for his grandmamma, but we're afraid she's away from home, too,'cause Mrs. Phillips scarcely ever goes shoppin' without her." "Well, run ahead; I'll be there in a moment"—struggling into his overcoat. "And, Payne, take care of the office. I won't be long. There's a new book on surgery to amuse yourself with until I come back. Capital article where the leaf is turned down—a man blown almost into pieces—but find it for yourself." "Thank you," said Payne; "but if it's all the same to you, old fellow, I prefer something not quite so amusing." When Dr. Stone arrived at the dwelling of the Phillipsace, the nurse-maid informed him, as she opened the door, that "the baby had taken a turn for the better, dear lamb, and had been sleepin' peacefully for the last ten minutes." "I'll take a look at the little fellow," said the doctor, springing lightly up the stair and gently opening the door of the nursery. The baby lay in its crib fast sleep, and by its side, holding one tiny hand, set a very pretty woman, who, at the first glance, the doctor decided to be about twenty—at the next, at least twenty-five. Her golden hair was knotted with artistic carelessness at the back of her small, shapely head, a few pretty tendril-like curls escaping to lie like little sunbeams on her low broad brow. Her eyes were large, soft, bright, dark brown, and shaded by long silky lashes. Her nose, slightly "tip-tilted," as Tumanyan has it, leant an accent to her face, which often wins with such open and so perfect a mouth and chin, would have been "facilitated gay staff," with a slight bias again. An Alzmemory.—A humming-bird met a butterfly, and being pleased with the beauty of its person and the glory of its wings, made an offer of perpetual friendship. "I cannot think of it," was the reply, "as you once spurned me, and called me a crawling dolt." "Impossible!" exclaimed the humming-bird; "I always entertain the highest request for such beautiful creatures as you." "Perhaps you do now," said the other; "but when you insulted me I was a caterpillar. So let me give you a piece of advice. Never insult the humble, as they may some day become your superiors." Vane few people overwork mentally or physically. We could, most of us, with great profit to ourselves and the community. Double our labor and the devil of hard times could be overcome again, and then he said, aloud, "I will, at least, remain until the baby's grand-mamma arrives." "Oh, if that is all that detains you, go at once," said the fair one with the golden locks, a mischievous smile dancing over her lovely lips and in her big brown eyes. "She is here." "Here!" repeated the doctor. "Where?" "Why, didn't nurse tell you! I'm baby's grandmamma, and dotingly fond of my grandson, too." Then out burst in a moment, for fear of waking the sleeping child, for the doctor's face was a comical study. A dozen different expressions were mingled there, as he remembered that the girl-wife, Mrs. Phillips, had once spoken to him of her sweet mamma—a widow, and a widow for the second time. But who could have dreamed of such a widow—such a mamma—such a grandmamma! Scarcely knowing what he did, he bowed himself from the room, forgetting all about the directions he was to leave, and hastened into the street. "Good heavens, how preposterous!" he exclaimed, as soon as he recovered his senses; "and how beautiful!" And just six months from that day Payne was shouting at the top of his voice in the doctor's office. "Ha! ha! ha! Be groomsmans! Of course I will, old fellow! But when I think of the young girl who never loved another, transformed into double widow—ha! ha! ha!—and a grandmother in the bargain—ho! ho!—l" "If you don't shut your mouth, Payne," said the doctor, seriously, "you'll have a terrible cold on your lungs, and I won't answer for the consequences."

ANAHEIM, CAL., SEPTEMBER 30, 1876. Life in the Grand Royal Palace of Siam. After all that has been written about Siam and the Siamese, there remains a great deal of valuable information still to be acquired. The city of Bangkok is so peculiar in itself that it would take months to do anything like justice to its strange architecture, civilization, manners, customs and forms of government. The temples, palaces and monuments of Siam seem to bear the impress of almost every ancient and modern civilization, Egyptian, Indian, Persian, Mongolian, and European. And yet, through all these varieties of style, they have a strongly marked characteristic of their own, showing that in course of time all these different influences gave place to a distinct nationality, which was the outgrowth of Buddhistic science, religion and philosophy, as established by the great founder of Buddhism nearly twenty-five hundred years ago. Another peculiarity is a first and a second King proper only to Siam, who have reigned conjointly over that kingdom for hundreds of years. Why there should be two Kings in Siam is a vexed question among foreigners: "Isn't one enough?" To American minds even one king is one too many. I have had more questions put to me as to the meaning of two crowned heads in Siam than I could well answer. Even when I did my best to explain the relative positions and functions of the rulers of Siam, my hearers The person of the King is sacred. He is not merely enthroned; he is enshrined as if he were a god. The highest, not less than the lowest of his subjects, approach him on all fours, crawling in a most object posture. No person is allowed to stand erect in his presence or to pass in the rooms of an upper story over his head. He must therefore inhabit the upper chambers of his palaces, and for this reason all the bridges also in Siam are constructed that he may not pass under anything on which human feet have trod. All the members of his body have an especial name, which it would be sacrilege to apply to those of any other individual. Indeed there is an especial vocabulary for the different parts of the person of a king. The head is particularly sacred. On one occasion I approvingly patted the head of a royal pupil, who, horror-strenken, ran crying to his mother, and she immediately had the whole head shaved which had thus been contaminated. On one of my interviews with the King, I was permitted, in deference to my European prejudices, to hop into the presence chamber like a frog on the borders of a marsh, while the nobles and courtiers crept in like reptiles, and remained prostrate during the whole interview. The next time when I walked upright into the King's presence, the great ladies of the inner court were so outraged they took hold of my dress behind, and tugged at it with so much violence that I might as well have hopped, for I fell back sprawling on the floor. Heat and Cold in Their Relations to Sleepiness. Cold is often a cause of insomnia. If insufficiently clad, so that the cutaneous vessels are not relaxed, sleep is rarely sound, when attained at all. It is only when stupafaction from the cold occurs that the dangerous coma-sleep comes on, which is often fatal. With many persons sleep is unfavorable if the bed be not warmed previous to their entering it. In these cases the ateriole contraction induced by the contact with the cold bed-clothes does not pass readily into the opposite of relaxation, and so sleep does not come on. This state of affairs is very commonly met with among the aged, and most so in those who suffer from some form of heart disease. In such case it is not only desirable to warm the bed and the nightclothes, but even to administer some hot fluid, all the better for containing alcohol, when the patient has got into bed, if any sense of chillness remains. In the young and healthy the chill of getting into bed, however, is often of great service in inducing a subsequent relaxation of the cutaneous vessels, and thus conducing to more perfect cerebral anaemia and sound sleep. Few persons will have failed to note the deep and usually refreshing sleep which follows any disturbance during the night. which has exposed them briefly to cold. At other times an increase of the body-temperature is the cause of disturbed sleep, sometimes amounting to sleeplessness. This is most frequently seen in febrile states, where a delirious condition takes the place of natural sleep. It is a house, silk knoll, a road. O well-kept meadow cool, dark. Behind of a nest that evidence the abode strikes to home life of loneness congratulations home. A is pleasant nooks and must sure a summer all closed. Not a side of the blesses cheer of a passing b darkened than with a glimpse wanderer for the glimpses open shut whoever is the blinds? What? Does no one not furnish Another peculiarity is a first and a second King proper only to Siam, who have reigned conjointly over that kingdom for hundreds of years. Why there should be two Kings in Siam is a vexed question among foreigners: "Isn't one enough?" To American minds even one king is one too many. I have had more questions put to me as to the meaning of two crowned heads in Siam than I could well answer. Even when I did my best to explain the relative positions and functions of the rulers of Siam, my hearers have gone away with confused and bewildered ideas. In the opinion of Pickering the Siamese are undoubtedly of Malay origin. But a majority of the intelligent Europeans who have lived long among them, regard the native populations as a mixed race; partly Mongolian grafted on an Aryan stock. They are generally of a medium stature, the face broad, the forehead low, the eyes black, the cheek bones prominent, the chin retreating, the mouth large, the lips thick, and the beard scanty. In common with most of the Asiatic races, the Siamese are apt to be indolent, improvident, greedy, intemperate, servile, cruel, vain, inquisitive, superstitions and cowardly; but individual variations from the more repulsive types are happily not rare. In public they are scrupulously polite, and decorous according to their notions of good manners. They are tender and respectful to the aged, affectionate to their parents and kindred, extremely religious, most bountiful to their priests, of whom more than twenty thousand are supported by voluntary contributions in the city of Bangkok alone. Marriage is contracted at sixteen for males, and fourteen for females, and polygamy is the common practice, without limit as to the number of wives, except such as may be imposed by the humble estate or poverty of the husband. The women are generally treated with consideration, and are on the whole superior to the men. The bodies of the dead are burned; and the emblems of mourning are white robes for those of the family and kindred who are younger than the deceased, black for those who are older, and shaven heads for descendants, dependents, servants and slaves. When a king dies, the whole population with the exception of very young children are obliged to have their heads shaved. The government of Siam is the most singular in the world. It consists of a house of lords, or Senabodi, and a San Luang, or secret council of twelve of the most powerful princes in the land, and a first and a second King. The second King is generally a younger brother, or sometimes a cousin of the first King. He has command of the army, and a palace and court of his own. By his high position he is exempted from the customary prostrations before the first King, whom he may salute by simply raising his hands and joining them above his head. The sessions of the San Luang or secret council are held always at midnight, when the doors of the palace are closed. On one of my interviews with the King, I was permitted, inference to my European prejudices, to hop into the presence chamber like a frog on the borders of a marsh, while the nobles and courtiers crept in like reptiles, and remained prostrate during the whole interview. The next time when I walked upright into the King's presence, the great ladies of the inner court were so outraged they took hold of my dress behind, and tugged at it with so much violence that I might as well have hopped, for I fell back sprawling on the floor. However, when the King seemed less formidable, I told him that this mode of approach was very unpleasant to me. He then permitted me to stand erect, if he were standing; if not, that I should sit down on the floor the moment I approached him; and as his favorite habit when studying English was to lie flat on his face and hands on the floor, with his book before him, and his heels swaying to and fro in the air behind him. I also was obliged to remain prostrate for hours together.—Youth's Companion. Blood-Sucking Bats. The late distinguished zoologist belonging to the Zoological Society, Mr. Blyth, has observed this habit in a leaf-nosed bat of India, one belonging to quite another family than that to which the American vampire belongs. The bat in question is called Megaderma Lyra. Respecting its habits Mr. Blyth tells us as follows: "Chancing one evening to see a rather large bat enter an out-house from which there was no other egress than by the doorway. I was fortunate in being able to procure a light, and thus proceed to the capture of the animal. Upon finding itself puraned, it took three or four turns round the apartment, when down dropped what at the moment I supposed to be its young, and which I deposited in my handkerchief. After a somewhat tedious chase, I then secured the object of my pursuit, which proved to be a fine pregnant female of Megaderma Lyra." "I then looked at the other bat which I had picked up, and, to my surprise, found it to be a small Vaspertilio, nearly allied to the European V. pipistrellus, which is exceedingly abundant, not only here, but apparently throughout India, being the same also, to all appearance, as a small species which my friend Dr. Cantor procured in Chusan. The individual now referred to was feeble from loss of blood, which it was evident the Megaderma had been sucking from a large and still bleeding wound under and behind the ear; and the very obviously suctionial form of the mouth of the vampire was of itself sufficient to hint the strong probability of such being the case. During the very short time that elapsed before I entered out-house, it did not appear that the depredator had once alighted; but I am satisfied that it sucked the vital current from its victim as it flew, having probably seized it on the wing, and that it was seeking a quiet nook where it might devour the body at leisure. I kept both animals wrapped separately in my handkerchief till the next morning, when procuring a convenient cage. I first put in the Megaderma, and, after observing bed, if any sense of chilliness remains. In the young and healthy the chill of getting into bed, however, is often of great service in inducing a subsequent relaxation of the cutaneous vessels, and thus conducing to more perfect cerebral anemia and sounder sleep. Few persons will have failed to note the deep and usually refreshing sleep which follows any disturbance during the night. which has exposed them briefly to cold. At other times an increase of the body-temperature is the cause of disturbed sleep,sometimes amounting to sleeplessness. This is most frequently seen in febrile states, where a delirious condition takes place of natural sleep. After the temperature has been brought down by application of cold a fever patient will commonly fall into a refreshing sleep until a return to a fever temperature disturbs it. In slighter conditions of restlessness, associated with too great a body temperature, the dissipation of a certain amount of superfluous heat by getting out of bed and drinking a draught of cold water will usually be followed by sound sleep. At other times throwing off some of the bedclothes will achieve the same end; though if the amount removed be too great, wakefulness may follow from a low temperature being brought about. With some persons, if the rest is disturbed, it is sufficient to protrude an arm or a leg from under the bedclothes so as to secure more loss of heat,and sound sleep will follow. THE WESTERN RURAL says: "If one portion of vegetables be boiled in pure water,and another in a little water to which salt has been added,a decided difference is perceptible in the taste and odor,and especially in the tenderness of the two portions.Vegetables boiled in water without salt are vastly inferior in flavor. This inferiority may go so far in case of onions that they are almost entirely desitute of odor or taste,,though when cooked in salted water they possess,beside the pleasant salt taste,a peculiar sweetness and strong aroma. They also contain more soluble matter than when cooked in pure water.Evidentlythe salt,buying density tothe water,hinders the solution and evaporation ofthe soluble and flavoring principles ofthe vegetables.This explainsthe advantages of an addition of salt tothe boiling water.And it is impossible to correct,bysideof salttothe vegetables,the wantof flavorinsuchashavebeenboiledwithoutit."

He has command of the army, and a palace and court of his own. By his high position he is exempted from the customary prostrations before the first King, whom he may salute by simply raising his hands and joining them above his head. The sessions of the San Luang or secret council are held always at midnight, when the doors of the palace are closed and guarded. All the more important affairs of state, mixed up with all kinds of private investigations, are discussed and decided upon at these midnight sessions of the secret council. The court of the Supreme, or first King, is composed of two distinct and entirely independent organizations. There is an inner and an outer court, the one of women and the other of men. The chief women have the oversight of the inner court and the harem (properly pronounced harem), and the men officerate of the outer court. The outer court consists first of the King as its supreme head, the mighty secret council, and besides, three hundred nobles, with four hundred pages in waiting, comprising lectors, mace, fan, batten boxes, cupa, spittoons, tea-pots and umbrella bearers. In addition to these there is a private body guard of one hundred soldiers dressed as Japanese. The dress of this guard is indescribably frightful; the first time I saw one I was almost petrified with horror, and at the same time I was curious to discover the nature of what I thought must be some strange animal. The body is entirely covered with pointed armor, on the face is a grotesque mask, with brazen horns on the helmet, while on the feet are worn bronze shoes, which somehow are made to represent the huge claws of a tiger. This strange guard surrounds the person of the King whenever he ventures abroad, and represents an aspect of once so weird and unnatural that it might well terrify the stoutest of hearts. The rule of the King is absolute though tempered by law and custom, but every subject, even the most humble, has by law the right to complain to him in person against any official however enforced, and twice every week throughout the year the King sits at the gate of the palace, joins an king himself old to receive his pardon from his own house. "WOMAN," said an old diviner to his wife, as she bent nightly to leave his importance with God, as it was past midnight, and rushed to rest. "I have three thousand such in answer for me, and I don't know how many."

NO. 50. Closed Blinds. It is a large, comfortable looking farmhouse, situated on the summit of a grassy knoll, a few rods back from the public road. On one side of it flourishes a large, well-kept orchard; on the other a green meadow stretches away to the edge of the cool, dark woods. Behind the house we catch a glimpse of a neat vegetable garden, and still behind that, barns and grain-stacks give evidence of thrift. Surely this must be the abode of happiness, and yet a chill strikes to our hearts at the thought of home life there. An impressible feeling of loneliness comes over us, and we congratulate ourselves that it is not our home. Again we look at the house; it is pleasantly built; there are several cozy nooks and corners about it; the plazzae must surely be pleasant places to sit upon a summer's eve. But all the blinds are all closed. Not a single window upon the front or side of the whole house is open to let in the blessed sunlight or give out the good cheer of a sweet home. The tired stranger passing by, looking up lovingly at the darkened windows, turns away more tired than before. No traveler is cheered with a glimpse of happiness within; no wanderer is reminded of his own home by the gilmmer of firelight through the half-open shutters. Morning, noon or night, whoever is passing, it is still the same—the blinds are always closed. “What!” questions a new neighbor, “does no one live there? Are the rooms not furnished? What kind of people own them?” The Gorilla. The Philadelphia Times described in the following manner a gorilla on exhibition at the Centennial show: Those who have read Du Chailu’s African Travels will be interested in seeing the stuffed hide of the terrible gorilla that was killed by the platyphil Frenchman in an encounter which he graphically describes. It is exhibited with the Ohio archaeological collection in the mineral annex of the Main Building. The exhibitor is the Mount Union College, of Alliance, Stark County, Ohio for the museum of which it was exhibited at a cost of $10,000. When this remarkable beast was attacked by Du Chailu and two negroes he wrenched the gate out of the hands of the latter, bent them into the shape of a horse shoe; killed both of the Africans, and then rushed towards Du Chailu, screaching horribly and hissing his breast with his fore hand, as the gorilla always does when snarred. The little Gaul, however, finished his gorilla-ship with a bullet through the heart, the mark of which may be seen. This affair occurred on the banks of the Gaboon river, in Africa. The stuffed hide—generally known in Centennial circles as Du Darwin—stands erect, grasping with one hand the limb of a tree. Assuming him to be still in the flesh, he weighs over two hundred and fifty pounds, and is an excellent specimen of the nearest approach in the brute kingdom to man, from whom, in outward appearance, he differs but little except in the formation of the head, the length of the arms and legs, and in hairstyle.

The tired stranger passing by, looking up lovingly at the darkened windows, turns away more tired than before. No traveler is cheered with a glimpse of happiness within; no wanderer is reminded of his own home by the glimmer of firelight through the half-open shutters. Morning, noon or night, whoever is passing, it is still the same—the blinds are always closed. "What!" questions a new neighbor, "does no one live there? Are the reams not furnished? What kind of people own the house?" "Two old people live there," answers our companion. "They are good, honest people, but they do not know what parlors and the piazzas are for. They always stay in a little dark kitchen at the back of the house, coming and going from the back door. See, the grass has grown almost over the front door-step." "But have they no children or frends! Do they never open the parlor for company?" "Their company is mostly like themselves. The parlors, though elegantly furnished, have never been open but twice—when the daughter was married and when the son was buried. A wedding and a funeral. The chairs are all wrapped in white linen sheets, the carpet strewn with sandal wood to save it from the moths, pictures all covered with tarlatan, piano legs wrapped in papers. One glance inside the door would make one shudder a whole day through with the bare remembrance of its sepulchral gloom." How gladly do we turn from this gloomy picture to the sweet little cottage upon the opposite side of the road. It is a very small cottage, and the owner is not rich enough to afford blinds, even to shut out the glare of the noon-day sun. But the pretty housewife there has planted vines beneath the windows, which have grown up, and half conceal the pretty home-picture within. But not quite, for see, even now, though it is hardly twilight yet, the fire-light is shedding its ruddy glow over all the room, giving a rich background to the sweet, sunny face peering out from between dainty lace curtains, "watching for papa." And look! above the child-head, and through the interstices of vines and curtains, you can catch glimpses of pretty pictures and brackets, which always will make a home look so cheery. Surely the sight of such a home can but warm the heart and quicken the feet of the roughest home corner. And who would not rather be the owner of that sweet cottage home and its darling inmates than the possessor of all the rich lands that surround the house where the blinds are always closed. The Mysteries of Birds. It is generally known that at the height of two, three or four miles from the earth the cold is much more intense than at the surface. Balloonists sometimes experience great suffering, and even death, from this bitter cold of these higher regions. It is also well known that when a cold wind blows violently, we suffer far more than when the air is still. Now, many birds spend much time in these high areas gorilla always does when enraged. The little Gaul, however, finished his gorilla-ship with a bullet through the heart, the mark of which may be seen. This affair occurred on the banks of the Galou river, in Africa. The stuffed hide—generally known in Centennial circles as Darwin—stands erect, grasping with one hand the limb of a tree. Assuming him to be still in the flesh, he weighs over two hundred and fifty pounds, and is an excellent specimen of the nearest approach in the brute kingdom to man, from whom in outward appearance, he differs but little except in the formation of the head, length of the arms and legs, and in being covered, except on the face and palms, with dark brown hair, which is long and bushy on the head, shorter, but equally thick, on the arms, legs and back, and very light and sparse on the breast and back of the hands. His height is five feet, eleven inches. Belonging to the order of quadrumana, he has four hands, twice as large and three times as powerful as those of an ordinary man, from which those on the arms do not differ in form, while those on the legs are shaped like a man's foot, but have longer digits and are used both as hands and feet. The animal walks on all fours as readily as on his legs only. The legs are about six inches shorter and the thighs much thinner than those of an ordinary developed man of the same height as the gorilla. The bones of the animal are however one and a-half times as thick and strong as those of such a man. The list is a veritable sledge hammer, and the arm hardly less than a battering ram. As he never carried a pocket knife his finger nails appear to have been in mourning since birth. The circumference of his chest is fifty-four inches and that of his waist about forty. When erect his arms reach three inches below his knees. It is in the head that his animal nature is mainly displayed. It is twice as long as that of an ordinary man, forming in the rear an almost straight line with the back of his body. The forehead is scarred half an inch high flat on top and receding almost horizontally to the immense bump behind. The upper half of the face is flat and square, the eyes being very large, brown, glaring, about five inches apart and located near the top and sides of the face. The lower half is the bump of a monkey's physlogonomy, chinless, but having a mouth, the corners of which are four inches apart in a straight line, and nine if the measurement is made around the lips. Where the social and intellectual "bumps" are in man there is next to nothing in the gorilla, although corporally, he is only one step lower than man. In spite of his great yawning mouth, horrible grin and four imminent canine teeth, the ladies inspect him with great interest. Running in Debt. I dwell on this point, for I would deter others from entering that place of torment. Half the young men in this country, with many old enough to know better, would go into business—that is into debt—to borrow, if they could. Most poor men are so ignorant as to savvy the merchant or manufacturer, whose life is as incessant struggle with pecuniary difficulties, who is driven to constant whining," and who, from month to month barely grades its inelegance which means The Mysteries of Birds. It is generally known that at the height of two, three or four miles from the earth the cold is much more intense than at the surface. Balloonists sometimes experience great suffering, and even death, from this bitter cold of these higher regions. It is also well known that when a cold wind blows violently, we suffer far more than when the air is still. Now, many birds spend much time in these high and cold regions of the atmosphere, and spend it there, not remaining stationary, but passing through the air at the rate of a hundred or more miles an hour. This rapid flight through the atmosphere is all the same in producing intense cold as if a wind were blowing with a velocity of a hundred miles an hour. The bird thus flying is therefore exposed for a long time to the most severe temperature, and we would naturally suppose must suffer greatly from such intense cold. But it does not; and it is an interesting question, why does it not suffer? Here we come to another marvel. We have noticed already that the feathers of the bird are very light, and admit much air between the small spaces, and in this way the bird is aided in flying and supporting itself in the air. But this loose, light, feathery covering serves another very important purpose to the bird—it keeps it cool. Without such a coating no bird could endure the cold of the higher regions while flying through them; but by a wise arrangement of the Merciful One, this feathery coating is loose enough to hold sufficient air to keep the bird warm, while it is not so loose as to allow the air to circulate freely through it, and then produce great cold. How kindly do we here again see the gracious hand of a kind Providence carefully arranging even the feathers of a poor bird, so as to promote its greatest comfort. And what is also remarkable, these feathers that keep out the intense cold perform the opposite service of protecting from the intense heat—open the same principle that we wrap ice in woolen blankets to keep out the warm air, wool and feathers both being poor conductors of heat. At the welcomes at the Public House, save times, are students from Hartford, Dartmouth, Williams or Amherst College, while in the other they are students from Harvard. Running in Debt. I dwell on this point, for I would deter others from entering that place of torment. Half the young men in this country, with many old enough to know better, would go into business—that is, into debt—to morrow, if they could. Most poor men are so ignorant as to serve the merchant or manufacturer, whose life is an incessant struggle with pecuniary difficulties, who is driven to constant whining," and who, from month to month, barely evades the insolvency which means or later overtakes most man in business; so that it has been computed that but one man in twenty of them achieve a pecuniary success. For my own part I would rather be a convict in a state prison, a slave in a rice swamp, then to pass through life under the harrow of debt. Let no man misjudge himself unfortunate or poor, so long as he has the full use of his limits and facilities, and in substantially free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are disgraceful; but debt is infinitely worse than them all. And if it had pleased God to spare either or all my sons to be the support of my declining years, the lesson which I should most currently seek to impress upon them is, "never run in debt." Avoid pecuniary obligations as you would palliance or famine. If you have but fifty cents and can get no more for a week, buy a peck of corn, parch it and live on it rather than owe a dollar! Of course I know that some men must do business that involves a risk, and must give money or other obligations, and I do not remember him in debt who can lay his hands directly on the means of paying; at some little sacrifice, all he owes; I speak of real debt—that which involves risk or sacrifice on one side, obligation and dependence on the other—and say from all mishin every youth humbly pray God to preserve him evermore. Dessertions from the Army—The Adjutant General of the Army has stated, in a communication to the Secretary of War, that during the last five fleet years ending June 20, 1875, there were over 30,000 desertions from the army. During the final year 1876, there were over 4000 cases of desertion, or 90 per cent. of the entire fleet. A. T. Brown has been appointed Chief Inspector of the Navy.
