STANDING ALOXE.
"Tlie baly is standing all 'loncy!"
The children shout in their glee—
And father and mother and auntie
MiiHt hurry anil come to see.
Solis by—the cute little darling!—
Is put through tho wonderful feat,
And fondled and kisaed and commended
For being so smart and so sweet.
With tho cunningest air of triumph
81»o stands in the midst of us all—
While the outstretched arm of hor mother
Is ready to save a fall,
And whenever the little one totters,
Around her is hastily thrown.
'Tis very flue fun—thinks the baby—
This frolic of standing alone 1
Ah, many a time in tho future
She'll fong for tho aid of that arm,
When tho lovo and the care of a mother
No longer can shield her from harm!
For oft when our need is tho sorest
There's n one to whom we can turn—
Anil siauding alone is i' lesson
'Tis hard for a woman to learn.
And often and over, my baby,
Before lifo's long journey is gone,
You will yearn in your hours of weakness
For something to 1 an upon.
When the props upon wh ch you dependod
Are taken away or o'ertlirown,
You will find it wearisome, baby,—
So wearisome! standing alone.

MRS. MORGAN'S KERCH LAW.
Mrs. Morsjnn's huslmud was on excellent
workman, anil bad the best wages, but he
would drink and, like most men of his
class when it liquor, generally beat his
'.•hildren and sometimes his wife. Mrs.
Morgan was a notable woman, and loved
her hu^Oand in spite of all but after years
of patient forbearance she came to the con
lusion that Jimmy Morgan, as she called
him, should stop drinking whether or no.
In other words, she resolved on a Berch law
,)f her own.
The occasion was one day when Jimmy
came home to dinner liulf tipsy, which al
ways happened when he stopped at Snif
kius' on his v.ay, and he did this, on an
average, abeut twice a week.
"Now, you Morgan," she said, as soon as
he entered, "you've been at the whisky
bottle again. You needn't deny it. I
know it by your looks and by your breath,
too. Go away, you nasty boast how dare
you try to kiss me when you've been drink
ing!"
Jimmy had essayed this matrimonial
caress, hoping it would conciliate the gude
wife but finding his purpose foiled, he
stood upon his dignity.
"Hoity toity," ho said, "how we put on
airs. Give us some dinner and don't sulk."
Mrs. Morgan did not often get roused,
but she was now she put her arms akimbo
and answered:
"Not a mouthful of dinner do you got in
this house to-day, nor any other day, till
you can come home sober. So the sooner
you're off the better."
The half tipsy husband looked at her in
amazement. For a moment he thought of
enforcing his will, a.s he had done before,
but whether he hud not drunk auite enough
to rouse his courage, or whether the blaz
ing eyes of his helpmate flightened him, he
turned, after a little hesitation, and left the
house.
Of course he went straight to the tavern
as Mrs. Morgan rather expected he would.
A.*d of course, when night came, he was
led home thoroughly inebriated, as Bhe
rather wished he would.
He had just sufficient reason left to
wonder at the extraordinary care with
which his wife, after assisting to undress
him, tucked hint in bed. But this a
everything else was soon forgotton in a
stupefied sleep.
Sho waited until satisfied that he was
entirely insensible, when sho proceeded to
sew the offender up in the sheet exactly as
if he had been a mummy. The stitches
were net small, but they were taken with
trebled thread and she knew they would
hold, especially as he could now use neither
leg6 or arms. Once or twice he grunted,
as if about to awake, but she Btopped a
nsoment at such times.

At last the proceeding was complete.
And now she brought forth a cart-whip,
which 6l:e had borrowed that afterno.n
from a neighbor.
"Now, Jimmy Morgan," she said, apos
trophiziag him, "I'll cure you of yourbeast
Iv habits, or I'll whip you till you'll be sore
for a month."
Down came the lash as vigorously as her
brawny arm could lay it on again, again,
and yet again it seemed as if she was never
going to stop. And very soon the offender,
roused from his stupor, saw what it was,
and began to beg for mercy.
Not till you've promised to leave off
drinking." was the answer and the blows
descended more vigorously than ever.
Swear never to taste liquor again!"
"Oh! you'll kill me—you'll kill me—"
"No, it will do voi good. To think how
drank Vuii were ten minutes ago, and now
to see you rolling about so lively—never tell
me, Jimmy Morgan, that I'm killing you
after that."
"Mercy, mercy, mercy," roared the crim
inal. "How can you, Polly, use your hus
band so?"
"I can and I will." And another shower
of blows descended. "Halloo as much as
you like, for it will do you no good only, I
can tell you one thing, I will not rouse the
neighbors. I told them what I was going
to do if you ever came home drunk again.
Hav you had enough yet? Will yiaiprom
at once, or are you going to hold out still?"
"Oh, oh, oh," groaned the helpless hus
band, twisting and turning in every direc
tion, but unable to escape the cataract ot
blows, "oh, oh."
"Will you promise? You'd better do it
quirk," resumed his inexorable spouse,
"or I'll beat you to a jelly. These six years
I've borne your drunkeness, but I'll bear it
no longer. I've tried coaxing, I've tried
everything, and now I'm trying whipping.
You've beaten me often enough, and I'm
paying you back. Promise at once, the
quicker the better, for I'll not let you up
till you do, even if it keeps me here all
night, and you're sick for a year afteiward."
It was a good while before the criminal
gave in. He thought his wife would tire
out at last, but when the castigator had
proceeded for some time, and he saw no
symptoms of either fatigue or relenting,
he was compelled to succumb.
"I'll swear, I'll swear," he said, at last,
"I'll do anything. Only let mo up. That's
a dear, goed Polly. Oh! don't whip me any
more, for I've said I'd swear. Oh! oh!"
Mrs. Morgan gave him three or four
sound cuts more to make assurance doubly
sure," before she adm.nistered the oath,
which she did. at last, with the Bible in her
hands, completing the ceremony by mak
ing him kiss the book.
From that night Jimmy Morgan was nev
er known to taste liqnor. He told his
neighbors that ho had been so sick, after
his lant spree, that he had resolved to join
the temperence society but he did not tell
them what had made him ill. Mrs. Mor
gan, too, kept the secret, nursing him
through his bruises, which were neither
few nor slight. However, as she said to
herself, "desperate diseases require desper
ate remedies and so she never repented
of the medicine she had administered, even
though her husband did not efehi a dollar
for three weeks.
Profit?- of tlie Revision.
After paying the expenses, which are
given by the English committee as $100,000,
for work thus far done on both Testaments,
all other profits go to the Universitv Press
publishers, who at the outset, in lieu of
of the copyright, guaranteed all expenses to
the revisers then. The American committee,
however, does not get one cent. Its expen
ses, not for labor, but for travel, corre
spondence, stationary, etc., have been
paid by private subscrptions up to this
time. The profits must, it is thought, be
very great if the Oxford publishers have
already sold, as reported, 2,000,000 copies.
This number includes the 500,000 sent to
this country. The different styles of the
New Testament are sold cheaper in the
United States than they aro in England,
Canada and the other colonies, because of
the lack of international oopyright here.

It is related of Colonel Thomas Scott
that once, about ten years ago, when mak
ing one of the swift trips which he was in
the habit of making over the lines under
his control, his train was stopped by the
wreck of a freighl train. There were a
dozen heavily loaded box cars piled up on
the road, and it would take a longtime to
get succor from the nearest accessible point
and probably hours more to get the track
cleared by mere force of labor. He sun ey
ed the difficulty, made a rough calculation
of the cost of a total destruction of the
freight, and promptly made up his mind to
burn the road clear. By the time the relief
train came the flames had done there work
and nothing remained but to patch up a
few injuries done to the track bo as to en
able him to pursue his way.
A MARRIAGE IN WAR-TIME.
A Confederate Soldier's Story—AVliy The
Groom Hastened To the Wedding.
Contribution to Louis
vi le Courier-JonrmL
I remember a very amusing marriage
ceremony which I once performed. I was
busy trying to make up some bread for my
mess. (I was then "high private i:». the
rear rank" of the old Tnirteenth Virginia
Regiment,) when a bright young fellow of
the "Maryland line" hailed me with: "I
say, mister, are you a preacher?" Not sur
prised at the doubt implied in the question,
for neither my dress nor occupation was
very clerical, I replied "Yes, I claim to
be." "Are you authorized to marry people
in this state?" "I am." "Well, you are
the very man I have been hunting for five
days." "I am glad you have found me at
last. What can I do for you?" "I want
you to many me, sir." "When?" "Right
away, sir just as soon as we can get there."
"Where?" "About two miles down the
road."
Accordingly, I get permission from my
colonel, (A. P. Hill,) satisfied myself that
the license was all right, and started. As
we were going along, the little fellow (the
license stated that he was 21, but he really
did not look to fee over 16) pulled out his
license and said: "Look here, Parson
suppose anything Bhonld happen so that we
could not get married to-day, she could not
marry any one else as long as I hold these
(shaking his license) agin her, oguld 6he?"
When I explained that the license was of
no binding force until the ceremony was
performed, he started off in a half run, er
claiming. "Well! come on, Parson we
must make haste!"
{Beginning to suspect that there was
something wrong, I stopped and said: "I
must have an explanation of this, sir, I do
not mean to do anything contrary to law
and right. Did you not tell me that you
had the full consent of the young lady's
parents, and that there was no obstacle in
the way of your marriage?" "Yes, it is all
right, Parson, come on and I'll explain it
all to your satisfaction. The whole truth
is that I have been sick down at that house
—or rather have been pretending to bo sick
—for several weeks, and there has been a
little girl down there who has been so kind
to me that I want to marry her for
it. Now,
my colonel, (his colonel was George H. Se
ward, an old West Pointer, and one of the
most rigid disciplinarians in the army has
found out that I am well, and I am afraid
he will send a guard after me and put me
in tho guard-house that before I get out
the brigade will move away, and so I may
not set a chance to bo married at all, and
she may then go and marry some other fel
low. Come on, Parson! Please let us
mako hasteV
I followed him as rapidly as I could, and
on reaching the place, I hscertained that
the gu .rd had actually come for him before
he came after me, but had agreed to wait
for him if he could procure a preacher and
hurry up the marriage. I performed the
ceremony, he saluted his bride in approved
old-fashioned style, and the guard immedi
ately marched him off to the guard-house.
He called to see me several days afterward,
however, and said: "Parson, I have been a
very happy man since I saw you. I took
your advice, and made a clean breast of it
to the Cidonel, and he released me from
the guard-house and gavj me 48 hours
leave of absence."
att?nfrar$ I was ft
a"
Courthouse on furlough, and beiny at the
depot when the cars came up, whom should
I seo but my youag Maryland soldier, wha
jumped off the train and rushed up to me,-,
exclaiming: "Puri-ou, I am the happiest
man in the Southern Confederacy. I have
gotten a discharge from the army. I have
work in Richmond at which I can make
plenty of luanoy. I have rented a nice lit
tle houso there and furnished it very com
fortably, and now I am going up after my
wife." I was very much gratified to see
the marriage turning out so well, for, un
fortunately, those army marriages did not
always so result.
A BED IN A BATH.
How u Young: Man's Slumber Was lludely
Interrupted.
Some men can sleep anywhere and on
anything, except a lounge. There is some
thing about an ordinary lounge that will
drive away sleep from the sleepiest person
in the world. A person will go to church
and Bit right straight up in a pew and go to
sleep while the minister is trying his best
to keep the sleeper awake, but let the same
man go home and lie down on a lounge and
he can't go to sleep to save him. Nobody
knows what it is about a lounge that drives
sleep away. Harry Morrison, a young gas
fitter of Eau Claire, who is boarding at his
brother-in-law's, was asked to sleep on a
lounge in tho sitting-room, as there was
sickness in tho house, and it might be nec
essary to call on him in tho night to go for
the doctor. He never was much on
lounges anyway, but there was nothing
mean about him, so he prepared to go to
his rest so as to be handy in case of emer
gency. He camped down, and for two
hours tried to go to sleep. Sometimes the
back of the lounge would rear up and hook
him iu the back, and than it would stab
him somewhere else. The springs would
work through the cover and corkscrew
themselves into his flesh, and every hair of
Uie lounge-cover seemed to stand on
end and run into his vital parts. He
got nervous and wished they would call him
and send him clear to Chippewa Falls after
a doctor. Finally he got up and went into
the bath-room, where thore was a bath-tub
which looked to him as though it would
make a downy bed, such as an angel might
sleep iu, compared to the lounge. He is no
angel, but he got some quilts and a pillow
and put them into the bith-tub and lay
down in it, and in five minutes he was
asleep. Most young men kick more or lesB
in their sleep, and Harry is no exception.
He kicked and his foot came in contact
with the faucet and turned the water on.
The cold water struck the quilts and made
no noise to awaken him, but gradually the
cold fluid found its way up his trouser-legs,
along his spine, and in fact all over him.
He began to dream that he was running for
vice-president on a ticket with Charle i
Francis Adams. Then the dream change i
and he fancied he was on an arctic expedi
tion, and w! lie he was lurching on a piece
of frozen boned seal, a polar bear was eat
ing his feet off. Then lie dreamed he was
shoveling snow on a railroad, and a Bnow
plough had run into him and threw him
forty feet into the air. It was at this time
that he was grasped by the hair of his head
by his brother-in-law, and jerked out of the
bath tub, under the impression that he was

THE CIGARETTE VICE.
A Filthy Fashion That Is Sapping the Life ol
the Youth of America—What Physicians
Sny About it.
The Philadelphia Times devotes a good
deal of space to the cigarette vice, which is
of very recent and of very rapid growth, in
which are given the views of leading phy
sicians. All agree substantially with the
following: "About half the cases of nervous
break-down in men," said Dr. Horatio C.
Wood, 'are the result of the use of tobacco,
and the use of tobacco is much worse for
boys than it is for men.
There is a peculiar action of the heart
caused by the excessive use of tobacco
known as the 'tobacco heart,' which the
elder Dr. Pepper made a special study of
and used to lecture upon. I have no pos
itive information on the subject, but I be
lieve cigarettes are the worst form in which
tobacco is used, and I believe that their
sale to boys was prohibited in France. In
addition to the poison in the tobacco the
cigarette smoker absorbs a certain amount
of the empyreumatic oil of paper, which is
an irritant to the mucous membranes,caus
ing catarrh. But this is not the worst ef
fect. The action of the heart is depressed
and the whole system debilitated. Official
investigation in the schools of France
proved that the cigarette smoking students
were much behind the others. These vital
dpfects are sure te be transmitted to the
offspring.
Dr. J. M. Da Costa, who is a very high
authority on all nervous diseases, said he
had been called upon in his pmctice to stop
cigarette smoking by a great many boys
who have indulgent parents. He knew
of one case in which a boy's growth had
actually been stunted by excessive smoking.
"I can do nothing better for you," said Dr.
J. Solis Cohen, who confines his practice to
treatment of throat and lung diseases,"
than to refer you to a little book I have
published on 'The Throat and the Voice.'
Hero I say," said the doctor, taking up the
book from his table: If a smoker is sub
ject to attacks of sore throat and is too
wedded to his weed to divorce himself
from it, he should smoke a long-stemmed
pipe in preference to any other contrivance,
because it renders the smoke cooler by the
time it reaches the throat. The next safest
thing is to smoke a long cigar, not
much more than one half of which should
be used, because the remainder becomes
warmer and more loaded with the poison
ous products of the combustion. A short
pipe is not as safe as a cigar and a cigarette
is the most injurious of afl.
Steadfast in the Faith of their Fore*
fathers.
From the Nineteenth Century.
In sailing down the Ganges during the
month Katik, our October, one may pass
in the course of a day half a dozen holy
fairs, each with multitude of pilgrims
equal to the population of a large city.
All of them are rendered picturesque by
the tents and the equipages of the wealthy
the variety of the animals and the bright
coloring in which the natives delight—those
decendants of the ancient Aryans of India,
"in many respects the most wonderful race
that ever lived on earth," as Prof. Max
Muller calls them. At night all the tents
and booths are illuminated, bo that the
scene is hardly less animated by night
than by day, and all without tumult and
disorder. Every one of these localities is
hallowed by some mythological tradition,
and the firmest faith is reposed by the
pilgrims in the truth of those traditions.
Engrafted for hundreds, nay, thousands of
years, in the minds of the peeple, they
have grown up with them articles of
faith, strengthened with their strength.
"Your words are good, Sahib, your
teaching is excellent," said some
native headmen of villages to a Christian
missionary in Oudh, 'but go and preach
elsewhere. We do not want it. Our fath
ers' faith is enough for us. What should
we do in your heaven? You want us to go
there when we die. We had rather be with
our fathers who went before us. What
should we do in the heaven of the Sahibs?"
This is no fanciful picture. These are tho
very words spoken in Hindunstani to an
enthusiastic missionary by the simple vil
lagers. And what could we say in reply?
He felt the force of them, though he did
not allow them to paralyze his efforts. The
religious Melas are attended by thousands
of devotees on the same principle that
prompted the villagers' words to tho mis
sionaiy. They were observed by their
fathers. Generation after generation has
attended them. Hindu or Moslem or
Christian the rulers may be, but the Melas
are still the same, and looking back into
the vista of vanished centuries, we still
see the same crowds, the same devotions,
the same amusements, food, clothing,
and attendant animals. When Britons were
painted savages ii was so, and now that
Victoria, queen of England is empress oi
India, it is so still.
In a letter written by Mr. Charles Darwin
to Prof. Holmgren on vivisection, he says:
"No one, unless he is grossly ignorant of
what science has done for mankind, can
entertain any doubt of the incalculable bene
fits which will hereafter be derived from phy
siology, not only by man but the lower
animals. Look, for instance, at Pasteur's
results in modifying the germs of the most
malignant diseases, from which animals
will, in the first place, Receive more rolief

A CHAPTER ON VEGETABLES.
Miss Juliet Coivon, tlic Celebrated Professor ot
Cookery, Fuin!slien a Few Recipes.
From tho Now York Times.
Spinach is an excellent dish when well
cooked lake two quarts, wash, boil for two
minutes in salted, boiling water, drain,
chop and heat in a fryiugpan for two min
utes with an ounce of each butter and flour
half a pint of meat broth is added, the com
pound is stirred and heated for five minutes
and served with small peices of fried bread.
Second only to spinach aro beet sprouts,
which will soon put forth their tender
claims for consideration wo all know tbem
boiled, but after they are boiled they gain
in flavor by being fried for two or three
minutes in butter. New cabbage scalded,
five miuutes in fast boiling water, coarsely
chopped, sprinkled with flour, salt and
pepper, and gently stewed for five minutes
with milk or cream enough to cover it, is
good. So, too, is red cabbage sliced,
thrown for fifteen minutes into scalding
salted water and vinegar, then drained, and
fried five miuutes with butler, and served
with a little hot meat gravy. Lettuce,
which seems devoted to "salad days "is ex
cellent stuffed it is well washed in salted
cold water, tho roots trimmed off, two table
spoo\fuls of cooked force-meat of any
kind, or chopped cold meat highly seasoned
inclosed within the leaves which are bound
together with tape or strips of cloth several
heads thus prepared are placed in a
saucepan, covered with br.th or cold gravy
well seasoned, and set over tho fire to sim
mer about five minutes the tapes are then
removed and the lettuce heads and sauce
are served hot. A link between cabbage
and lettuce are Brussels sprouts, those
tender baby cabbages, which, stewed in
cream or quickily fried in better, almost
incline one's thoughts to vegetarianism.
Beets are familiar enough boiled and
sliced, either served hot with butter, pep
per and salt, or pickled, but a novelty is a
beet pudding, made by mixing a pint of
cooked sugar-beets, chopped, with four
oggs, a quart of milk, a littld salt and pep
per, a tablespoonful of butter and baking
them about half an hour cold boiled beets
sliced and fried with butter are palatable
to cook them so that none of their color
shall be lost, carefully wash them without
breaking the skin or cutting off the roots
or stalks, and boil them until tender, about
an hour, in boiling, salted water.
Turnips, either white or yellow, stewed
in gravy, are excellent. Choose a quart of
small, oven size peel them boil them fif
teen minutes in well salted boiling water
drain them put them into a frying-pan
with sufficient butter to prevent barning
brown them stir in a tablespoon!ul of flour
cover them with hot water add a palatable
seasoning of salt and pepper and stew them
gently until tender. Or peel and cut them
iu small regular pieces brown them over
the fire with a little butter and a slight
sprinkle of sugar add salt and pepper and
boiling water enough to cover them, and
gently stew them until tender serve them
hot.
ir^ni ps are not sufficiently appreciated,
perhaps of their two sweet taste but this
can be overcome to a palatable extent by
judicious cookery they are excellent when
sliced, after boiling and warmed in a sauce
made by mixing flour, butter and milk over
the fire and seasoning it with salt and pep
per as soon as warm they are served with
a little chopped parsley and a squeeze of
lemon juice. For parsnips fried brown in
an old-fashioned iron pot with slices of
salt pork and a seasoning of salt and pep
per, several good words might be said.
Carrots boiled and mashed and warmed
with kuttei, pepper and salt deserve to be
known or sliced and quickly browned in
butter or tossed for live minutes o.ertho
fire with chopped onion, parsley, butter,
seasonings and sufficient gravy to moisten
them or boiled, quartered, heated with
cream, seasoned, and at the moment of
serving, thickened with the yolk of eggs.
Onions are capital when sliced and quick
ly ffied in plenty of smoking hot fat, or
roasted whole until tender, and served with
butter, pepper and salt or chosen while
still small, carefully peeled without break
ing, browned inbutier, and then simmered
tender with just boiling water, enough to
cover them: or boiled tender in broth and
then heated five minutes in nicely seasoned
cream)
Oyster plant, scraped under cold water,
boiled tender in salted water containing
a trace of vinegar, and then heated with a
little highly seasoned melted butter is ex
cellent tho tender leaves which it often
bears makes a nice salad. Somewhat like
oyster-plant are Jerusalem artichokes,
which are good and cheap in this market.
Like oyster-plant they must be peeled un
der water, boiled tender and then served
with melted butter, or quickly browned in
butter, either plain or with chopped herbs,
with an acid sauce of any kind.
Cilery we know best in its uncooked state,
but it is very good stewed in any brown or
white gravy or sauce, or rolled in flitter bat
ter and fried brown.
Squash and pumpkin are very good eith
er boiled, sliced, and boiled or fried, or
made into fritters like oyster-plant.
Potatoes, most important of all hardy veg
etables, must close the list today. Lives
there a cook with soul so dead as not to be
willing to expend all the powers of fire, wa
ter and salt to produce mealy potatoes? If
so the writing of our epitaph would be a
cheerful task. And if cold ones are left
they can rehabilitate themselves in favor by
appearing chopped, moistened with wrhite
sauce or cream, aud either fried in butter
or baked quickly, with a covering of bread
crumbs. Steam-fried that is sliced raw,
put into a covered pan over the fire, with
butter &nd{seasoning, and keep covered un
til tender, with only enough stirring to pre
vent burning, they are capital. To fry
them Lyonnaise style they are cooled in
their ickets to keep them whole, sliced
about a quarter of an inch thick, browned
in butter with a little sliced onion,sprinkled
with chopped parsley, pepper and salt
and served hot. Larded, they have bits of
fat ham or bacon inserted in them, and are
backed tender. Note well that the more
expeditiously a baked potato is cooked and
eaten the better it will be.
New York City. Juliet Coeson.
Said and Done*
Here is a bit of admirable advice to hired
men from The Western Rural. It is the
"best policy," from a mere worldly point
of view, to say nothing of higher motives,
to act on Ephesians, vi., 7,8. We know of
one farm hand who gets and doubtless
earns, $10 a month more than the average
because he lives np to this high principle:
"fto man who is selfish or lazy enough to
do as little as he can, and to do what he
does as poorly as it can be done, will ever
succeed. Such a man will 1)0 a hired man
all his life. Men in every subordinate
position, if they would make their mark,
must strive to make themselves apparently
indispensible. Every man competent to
fill a position can do this but he must re
member all the time that he is not indis
pensable. However, by a faithful discharge
of duty, ho can make his employer think
so, and. so long as no ^necessity exists for
making a change, to wonder how he could
be able to do so without great detriment to
his own interests. No'better rule to accom
plish this result can bo laid down than this:
Work all tho time as if you were working
for yourself. Ask yourself in case of hes
itancy to labor over hours or a little harder
than usual: What would I do if this were
my farm, and this work needed to be done
just now? An answer to that question by
an industrious, conscientious man will cor
rectly outline duty, and action in accord
ance with it will make the hired man indis
pensible. In such a man the employer
feels that he has in charge a certain piece
of work, or of his affairs generally, an in
telligent, thinking being, who may be trus
ted bee tuso he is such but in a man who
is reckless, shirking all the woik possible,
an:l often doing as much harm as good,
Ihe employer feels that he has a machine
which, like any other machine on his farm,
is good for nothing unless it is attended by
a guiding miud and hand."
A history almost as sad and romantic as
that of Romeo and Juliet is attached to

merchant. His only child, a beautiful

only unfitness to become her husband lay
in the fact that a personal feud existed be

Rarey'tt Gitt am) the Foaming Steed'*
A peculiar method is requisite to make a
horse lie down, more particularly if you are
a stranger to him. Having accustomed the
horse to your presence, having fed him
from your hand, and stroked and caressed
and genlled" him, he will look upon you
as a friend, and bo ready to obey you. A
series of little taps upon one foreleg, and
he is down upon one knee the other knee is
made to follow. In this position, the horse
will submit to be gently rolled over on his
side, almost as though in a trance. Let
each act bo gentle, and he is content. Once
the horse is down he becomes your slave:
and this first victory May be best confirmed
and subsequent lessons rendered less troub
lesome, by feeding him with some choice
morsel while he is down or if he will not
eat in that position, directly he arises. Do
not let your victory have in it any sting of
defeat for him. The nearer that the train
er approaches to the spirit thus indicated,
the more successful he will be and if he
wanders too far from it, he will achieve no
success at all.
THE HESSE PIN CANAL.
The Convention at Davenport, Iowa, In Fa
vor of an All-Water ltoute Eastward.
The convention of delegates from states
of the Mississippi valley at Davenport,
Iowa, was largely attended. It was called
for the purpose of considering the subject
of the proposed Hennepin canal. To connect
the Mississippi with the Illinois river, at
tracts a good deal of attention among ship
pers and producers in the west. The canal
when completed will form the final link in
the chain of water transportation to the
east, by way of the great lakes
and the Erie canal. The first part of the
route, extending from Chicago to La Salle,
is already completed and known by the
name of the Illinois & Michigan canal.
From La Salle to Hennepin, by the Illinois
river, there is slack water navigation leav
ing only sixty-five miles of the total 108 to
be finished, until the work is completed.
The advantages of the proposed route are
thus summed up ly Senator Windom in
his report on transportation to the seaboard:
"First, it passes through the center of tho
richest corn producing area, and it forms a
connection with the Mississippi river, which
passes through the richest wheat producing
aiea on the continent. Second, its eastern
erminus is at Chicago, the largest grain
market in the west, where there is always a
large supply of lake tonnage."
The resolutions unanimously adopted by
the convention:
First— That the congress of the United
States should devise by law and sustain by
liberal and efficient appropriation a system
of cheap transportation by water route, con
necting the Mississippi river and its tribu
taries with the eastern Atlantic seaboardand
the gulf of Mexico.
Second—It has been the policy of con
gress and the desire of the people of the
Northwest for many years to inaugurate
and complete a system of water channel
improvement, having the Mississippi for its
base, and that to give greater efficiency to
this policy th°re should be constructed fiom
the Mississippi, on the most direct and fea
sible route to tLe Illinois river at Hennepin,
thence to the lake tt Chicago, a canal ade
quate to the present and future transporta
tion needs of the people. Such a work of
internal improvement is an imperative ne
cessity for relief from the expensive freight
rates on produce, and that the work so long
needed should bo immediately commeuced.
Third—The con in:ed improvement of
the Mississippi river under the auspices of
the Mississippi River Commission, created
by act of congress, is a work of great na
tional importance. Congress ought to pro
mote the scheme of improvement by the
most liberal appropriation therefor,
and we emphasize aud enforce the united
and earnest demand of the people of the
entire Mississippi valley that congress shall
make prompt and adequate appropriations
for the improvement of the river and its
navigable tributaries from the Fajls of St.
Anthony to the Gulf of Mexico, and that
this convention has no sympathy with any
policy that would depreciate or hinder this
great enterprise of making it fully naviga
ble and building up a great commerco up
on this central river, nature's great highway
of the continent.
Fourth—We have viewed with peculiar
satisfaction the increasing success of the
barge line system of transportation on the
Mississippi and its tributaries, and the re
lief it gives to producers and shippers of
the Mississippi Jvailey in cheapening freight.
Fifth—We heartily favor the proposed
cession of the Illinois and Michigan canal
aud improvemento on the Illinois river by
tho state of Illinois, and declare the Erie
canal should be made free of tolls there
fore we hope for tho early[success of the ef
forts inaugurated secure these results.
Burial of Adrienne Lecouvrenr.
From Parton'e Life of Voltaire.
In March, 1730, occurred the sudden
death of the actress, Adrienne Lecouvreur,
aged twenty-eight. She played for the
last time, March 15, in Voltaire's "(Edipe,"
and played, despite her disorder, with much
of her accustomed force and brilliancy. In
accordance with the barbarous custom of
the time there was an after-piece, in which
she also appeared and she went home
from the scene of her triumphs to die after
four days of anguish. Voltaire hastened
to her bedside, and watched near her dur
ing her last struggle for life and when she
was seized with convulsions which preced
ed her death, he held her in his arms and
received her last breath. Being an actress,
and dying without absolution, she was de
nied "Christian burial," and tho gates of
every recognized burial place in Franco
were closed against her wasted body, the
poor relics of a gifted and bewitching wo
man, whom all that was distinguished and
splendid in the sooiety of her native land
had loved to look upon. At night
her body was carried in an old coach
(fiacre) a little way out of town, just be
yond the paved streets, to a spot near the
Seme now covered by the bouse No. 109
Ruede Bonrgogne. The/iarrr was follow
ed by one friend, two street porters, and a
squad of tho city watch. There her re
mains were buried, the grave was filled up,
and the spot remained unenclosed and un
marked until the city grew over it and con
cealed it from view.
The brilliant world of which she had
been a part heard of this unseemly burial
with such horror, such disgust, such rage,
such "stupor," as wc cau with difficulty
imagine, because all
those ties of tenderness
andjpride that bind families
and communities
together are more sensitive, if not stronger,
in France, than with our ruder, and more
loliust race. The idea of not having friend
ly and decorous burial, of not lying down
with kindred and fellow citizens in a place
appointed for the dead, of being tnken
out at night and buried at a corner of a
road like a cat, was and is utterly desolating
to the French people. Voltaire, for exam
ple, could neverface it he lived and died
dreading it.
And the effect of the great actress's sur
reptitious burial was increased by various
circumstances. That gifted women pos
sesed all the virtues except virtue and, un
happily, virtue the gay world of Paris did
not caro for. Nature and history pro
nounce virtue, whether in man or woman,
the indespensililo preliminary to well- being,
and the church was right in so regarding it.
But Paris loved rather to repeat that she
had pledged all her jewels to help her
lover (one of her lovers), Maurice do Saxe,
son of Agustus, King of Poland. Paris
remarked that, if she had not partaken of
the sacraments, she had at least left l,000f
to tho poor of her parish. The gay world
dwelt much upon her noble disinterested
ness in refusing to receive the adresses of
Count d' Argental, though that infatuated
young man loved her to the point of being
willing to sacrifice his career to her. That
she had borne two children to two lovers,
that she had expended the precious treas
ure of her life and genius in a vory few
years of joyless excitement, that sho had
lived in utter disregard of the unchangeable
conditions of human w elfare, as well as
those of the highest artistic excellence,—
who thought of that? Who could think of
that in connection with such an outrage
upon her wasted remains?
Voltaire, who owed so much to this bril
liant woman wh: owod so much to him waR
profoundly moved. To the assembled
company of actors, her companions in
glory and in shame, he said, "Announoe
mcnt.
orders to bin norvants to patrol the grounds to the world that you will not exercise your
by night and shoot all trespasser p. Dis- 1 profession, until you, the paid servants of
gaiiad io hwq'b oiotbiogt ihe gtrlaMiemptetH like other citizens in
irnr in
the king's service." They promised him,
but who was to maintain them in the inter
val! The chiefs of the company only re
ceived from a thousand to two thousand
francs a year. "They promised," he wrote
thirty years after "but did nothing further
in tho" matter. They preferred dishonor
with a little money, to honor whioji .-fw^ild
have been worth more to them.

A ball of lightning during a recent
severe thunder storm, entered the house
of the Agricultural Editor of the Maine
Farmer, "through a quarter-inch space be

peared to the frightened eyes of the aston

ascribed an arc of a circle in the dining
room, and 'passed out of the kitchen door,
via 4he pantry, the only damage done be

ter and laths, throwing down glass and
melting solder from tin, and ripping away
a few shingles and boards of an adjoining
woodshed. There was a terrible crash, a
sulphurous smoke, but happily no loss of
life. The Farmer devotes a column to the
matter, saying, among other things: "Ball
lightning usually occurs during an extreme
ly intense discharge, and often moves hor
izontally forward for a considerable dis
tance. It has often been seen moving
along railroad tracks, and the ca?e of a
