THE QCJEST:
BY ANNA I* JOHNS OS, IN O ALA XT.
He came tmbld: I know not whence,
This wonderous guest, unknown before;
All silent and nnseen he came
Within my door.
He gently heals my life-long pain,
Ho charms the frequent tears away,
And all my grief from me beguiles,
And still will stay.
1 Sweet thoughts arise and eager climb,
Like binla that sing in upper air,
The song that close to Heaven's high gates
Becomes a prayer.
Yet half I fear his tender wiles:
< tardy l#ovo, too late delayed !
My coward heart shrinks back in doubt,
And hides, afraid,
And fain would trust, but questions still:
Too late delayed! too late forlorn!
Can night so darksome break so soon
To such fair morn?
Nor for pale brows and faded hair.
Oh, Liove, do thy red roses blow:
> Tnkfi hack thv crown. T wppninorrr
llo doth not go;
Hut lingers still and lingers yet,
Anil I team him In such winning wUe,
Huch holy benedictions shine
In his doareycs,
J can but trust, I can but list
The winged hopes that softly Bllig:
Cancelled at last mine ancient wrong,
And Lkjvo Is king.
THE APRIL HteAZIME'.
IiirriNooTT.?The April number of
Lippincotl is a good one. Alt its articles
are readable; some of tbem excellent,
Robert Dale Owen's Btory, "Beyond
the Breakers" grows in Interest
as the plot thickens. The charming
Breltmann ballads are continued ; and
we have this month "Breltmann in Politics;"
" How Breitmann and Schmit
wore reported to be log-rolling"How
they held the mass-meetingand
"Breitmann's great Speech." "College
Kducation," by George It. Calvert, au'
tlior of "The Gentleman," is a paper
worthy the reading of school.meu everywhere.
"Our Globe la 1869" is an interesting
summary of the great events
all round tho world dnring the post
year. Henry Santley has a paper about
"Women" that Is worthy of a thoughtful
reading by both Bexes. "Traditional
Flsli Stories," is an essay at showing
that tho wonderful stories of child
UUI'U a 11 if I it LU I f, llttW OlIILUUI, Vj? U 111ver's
Travels, etc., have a real foundatlon
in fact. The effort is an ingenious
one, to say tho least. "Sam's Sermon;"
"The Prince's Surprise;" a continuation
of "Over Yonder;" two littlo
poems, "The Neglected Grave," and
"Kirst Fruits," nnd the monthly gossip,
make up the table of contents.
Thk CAr.Ax y.?The Galaxy for April
is one of the best of that constantly
improving monthly. Chas. Keude's
new story " l'ut yourself in his place,'>
grows in dramatic interest. Darwin
Smith contributes a paper on "The
Great Danger of the Republic"?that
danger being in Mr. Smith's opinion
the centralization of powers in the
Federal Government. There is something
of the states rights theory in
this article, yet some valuable suggestions
that do not lose their force bv
their association. One is that the country
is in danger from a too great expansion
of territory?that the more
territory is subjected to one government
the more difficult it is to hold that
government together. We quote h
paragraph or two upon this poinl:
In the history of mankind the question
is yet to be determined whether
Republican government can be long
maintained aver a populous and largely
extended country. The territory
and population of the ancient republics
of Greece were relatively small.
As the arms of Rome extended the
boundaries ot the Republic, tlie liberties
of the people expired beneath the
despotism of military rule. In modern
times a fair measure of prosperity and
longevity has been SDjoyed by the Federal
Republic of Switzerland, but the
country is sparsely populated and is
only about one-third the size of New
York, embracing about 15.000 square
miles or the most mountainous and
sterile, and least wealthy and commer

Republic of Man Marino with its
twenty-one squaro miles of territory
and its 6,000 inhabitants, has I
had an undisturbed life of nearly
fourteen centuries atnid the
rugged acclivities of the Alps,
The present territory of the United
States, including Alaska, embraces
about 3,50u,000 square miles. Add to
this the '100,000 square miles of the
Canadas, New Brunswick, Prince
Edward's Island and Now Foondland,
which naturally gravitate toward, and
will doubtless in a few years, at the
urgent instance of the people of those
provinces, be annexed to this country,
and our territory will just about be
equal to that of all Europe. But the
expansion of our territory which begun
with the purchase of Louisiana, and
has been followed since by other large
additions, is doubtless de&tinied to continue
until wo absorb Mexico, the West
India Islands, nnd probably all the
residue of North America. The population,
too, of this country, at the
beginning of the next century, it may
be assumed, will equal, if not exceed
| 100,000.000. Can republican government
be long successfuly maiutaioed
over so large an extent of country, and
over so large a population ?
It is impossible in the nature of
things, nnd Is in conflict with the whole
theory of Republican government, that
a national legislature oan legislate
wiBely in regard to the local concerns
of a widely extended country. If Con'
gress bad full constitutional powers to
grant private oharters and special
privileges, to be exercised within the
States, it wauld be highly unwise for it
" " ~I nlnllnn nmnl/1 hllSlfl

up huge monopolies and otkerwisBfoster,
in a large degree, anti-republican
j tendencies. Some of the States of the
Union are large enough for empires of
themselves: Texas is larger than
France; Oregon is larger than Spain;
California is larger than all the British
Islands, or the Kingdom of Prussia before
the additions following the late
war between that country and Austria;
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan,
' Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, are respectively
larger than Kngland; and
' New York and Pennsylvania each
nearly us large. The multifarious interests
of such large Statescfin obviously
only be properly taken care of by
> resident legislators, intimately acquainted
with the atrairs and wants of
ttye State, and with the constituency. It
is in this view that small republics
have tho best chance of permanent prosperity.
Prof. Draper in his "Civil Policy"
suggests this idea, with this difference
j however?that a country may enlarge
with comparative safety so long as it
expands east and west on the same parallels
of latitude, because for cllmalc
( reasons people on the same parallels
) are, or more easily become, homogeneous;
bat that when a country begins
to acquire territory North and South
it is surely absorbing the seeds of discord
and disruption.
Mr. T. M. Coan presents vory fairly
the arguments Jon each side suggested
| by his interrogative title, "To Marry
1 or Not to Mary ?" On tho negative side
be says:
There are namerous well-intentioned
whn mirard marriaee as the tier
; manent institution of the world, and
' who are fond of exhorting every wellto-do
bachelor thus: "Marry and become
a member of society. Marry to
reduce your expenses. A good wife
t will help yon to Bave money." But this
? advice doeti not well bear analysis.
A bachelor of economical habits
can live comfortably in one ol
onr capitals and frequent the best city
society, on a salary of, I will say, fifteen
hundred dollar* per year. Should
??
ho marry a lady of equal thrift, am
retain the same soolal rank ns before
his living expenses mast be more thsi
doubled. He must now entertain u
well as be entertained: he must becom
a "pillar of society," and must asaumi
a hundred expenses of which nelthe
himself nor his partner knew anythinj
as bachelor and maid. Their Indivldu
al costs of living, already reduced t<
the lowest point consistent with tbeii
social position, cannot be less afte
marriage than before; while the nev
expenses of society any family an
added. It is more than likely, indeei
?especially if the happy pair go t<
housekeeping in the city?that a bachc
lor of economical habits will find hli
expenses trebled upon marrying evei
the most economically-disposed wife
IT, however, he undertakes to suppor
a wife addicted to reckless habits o
speding money; his cost of living wil
be multiplied by some uncertain bu
enormous factor. Such a man ma<
well regard it as a solemn thing t"
stand np before the altar and promisi
to pay a young woman's board for life
time. And if, himself, a spendthrift
he marries a woman of the same laviBl
disposition, it is not evident where thi
Having will occur, unless the pair shouli
be frightened into economy by seeinj
eacu Oluur'H waDLViuiueaa,
An article on "Animal Food," by Di
John C. Draper, contains some uaefa
hints. We quote:
Custom and religion bare, it ia true
a certain Influence over the diet of :
nation, but the habits of a people ii
this respect are, to a great extent, un
der the control of climate. The inhabi
tant of a torrid region delights in th
fruits and succulent vegetables witl
which nature bountifully supplies him
and does not care to undergo the fatigu
and exertion necessary to obtain ani
mal food when luscious fruits are read;
to fall into his mouth. He lives sur
rounded by a warm, moist atmosphere
be does not require much heat-makinj
food; the very air is enervating, am
why should he exert himself whei
there is no necessity? The dweller ii
arctic regions, on the contrary, mus
burn away rapidly in order to keep thi
temperature of his body at the point re
quired to Bustain tho processes of life
Animal food, therefore, becomes thi
urgent requirement of his existence
and since fat furnishes the greates
amount of heat in a given bulk, h
seeks greedily for the blubber of thi
seal or whale, and a glass of oil is ti
him iar more desirable than the choices
wine of a comet vintage.
Between these extremes we find thi
inhabitant of the temperato zone, whi
while he declines to partake of tin
grosser food of his northern neighbor
agrees with him in ills craving for llesl
of all kinds, and prizes especially veni
son and every species of game. At hli
table the fruils aud vegetables ol tin
southerner also have their place. H
occupies the position that nature ha
intended for his race, lie is an oinni
vorous animal, and with such u diet
and under favoring skies, reaches thi
highest deveiopemunt of which his kim
is capable. It is interesting to notici
that when the system has become accustomed
to a mixed diet, a total absti
nence from either animal or vegetabli
food causes the disease known ai
scurvy. It is a popular error to sup
pose that this condition is the resnl
only of a want of vegetable food. Thii
error has arisen from the fact that
heretofore, in long voyages, vegetabli
food has been deficient in quantity, bu
we now know that a species or scurvj
may arise lrorn a deficiency in the supply
of animal food.
Experience; has demonstrated thai
the proper method of slaughtering is t(
prepare the animal for the sacrifice bj
causing it to abBtain from food foi
some hours before the operation is per~
'J - if *? f tlm 11 itin r\t ilnat h llii

process of digestion is in full activity
the gastric or digestive juice will dis
solve the wall of the stomach, aud, ex
tiding into tho llesh, give it a very dis
agreeable flavor. Such a result is ofter
met with In fowls, the breast being rendered
unfit for use by the juices that
have escaped from the crop. The acl
of slaughtering is performed either by
cutting the throat, opening a large
blood-vessel, or by knocking the animal
on the head and then cutting the
throat, that the blood may How freely
from the body.
In this connection we cannot avoid
referring to the custom, so prevalent
among our people, of eating tlosh immediately
after the creature is killed.
It is by no means an uncommon thing,
when we visit the country in the summer,
to lind at tho dinner-table fowls
tuat were uuve iwu uuuio uciuid iui
meal commenced.
Aside from any fancy in the matter,
there ia a physiological reason why
flesh should be kept lor a time after the
animal is slaughtered ; for immediately
after the last breath is taken, and when
the arteries have ceased to throb, the
body becomes stiff and rigid, the muscles
taking on the condition of powerful
contraction, to which the name of rigor
mortis is given. Many consider that
this ia the last living act of the mascle
'.issue, and that it iB not truly dead until
the rigor mortis ceases, which, in
cold weather, requires several hours,
and even days. When we imaginethat
we are eating mutton wo are often in
reality eating sheep, and we must not
be surprised if the tlavor Is rather pronounced.
The food ot an animal likewise Influences
the nature of its flesh. Hence,
we lind that the carnivorous animate
are unlit for the purpose of the table,
though, as Bacon remarks In his "Natural
History," this does not hold in
all cases, for there are many birds that
feed on worms and insects and are,
nevertheless, good meat. The infla~
i t i.],. 1. ! .. . 1 |a hnaraTraw

illustrated by the case of Virginia bams,
the superiority or which is, in a great
measure, (luo to the fact that the swine
are allowed to roam through the woods
and feed on acorns, chestnuts, and
roots, and are finally fattened on corn,
and not on household garbage. It iu
also stated that the Chinese feed the
dogs, rats, cats, and similar "small
deer," that they intend to use as food,
en vegetables and fruita, and when
thus cultivated the llesh ia not offensive.
The Reason, in like manner, possesses
its inlluence. Pork, for example, ia
not fit for use in the summer. The
flesh of the buck is valueless in the
rutting season, and that of animals
that have recently given birth to young
ia inaipid, and not tit for use until some
time after the lapao of the suckling
period.
The time required for the digestion ol
various kinds of meat ia a subject ol
conaiderable intereat to those who are
alliicted with dyspepsia or indigestion,
and, fortunately, we have a complete
series of observations In connection
with this matter, made by Or. Beaumont
on Alexis St. Martin, who was
shot through the stomach in Bach h
manner that, when the wound healed,
an opening was left in the walls of the
abdomen, which communicated witii
the interior of the stomach, through'
which food could be introduced and the
action of the digestive Juices upon ii
examined from time to time. The re

The above table shows not only th
different degrees of digestibility of va
' rlons articles, btit also of cooking. J
i mast not be forgotten that in such
j table the quantity used is supposed to
>, be about the (mine on all occasions;
1 for it is well known that a larger quans
tity of any article requires a longer
e time for complete digestion than a
3 smaller one. Beaumont, for example,
r found that, while a single egg was di5
digested in one hour, it required four
. hoars to digest eit?ht eggs.
