COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 19, 1877. SCANDAL MONGERS- Do you bear the scandal mongers Passing by, Breathing poison in a whisper. In a sight Moving caut-'ously and slow. Smiling swiet’y as they go; Never no sy—gliding smoothly like a snake, Sipping h’ re, and sipping ♦here, Through the meadows fresh and fair. Leaving subtle slime and poison in their wake Saw yc not the scandal monger As she sat, Beaming brightly Death the rosesa In her hat? In her dainty glovi-s and dress, Angel-like and nothing less, Seeiuel she—casting smiles and pleasing words about. Once she shrugged aDd shook her head, liaised her eyes and nothing said When you spoke of friends, ana yet it left a doubt. Did you hear the scandal monger At the ball, Through the music, rhythm, beauty, Light and all? Moving here and moving there, With a whisper light as air, C'i ting shadows on a sister-woman’s fame— .Inst a v hisper, word or glance, As she floated through the dance. And the world is busy with a spotless name. You will hear the scandal mongers Everywhere; Sometimes men, but often women, Young and fair, Yet their tongues drop foulest slime, And they spend their leisure time Casting mud on those who climb by work and worth. Shun Ihem, shun them, as you go — Slum them, whether high or low, They ate hi t the cursed serpents of the earth. DIFFIDENCE. “I’m aftheraxin’, Biddy dear—” And here lie paused awhile To fringe his words the merest mite, With someth; ig of a smile, A smile that found i: image In a face of beauteous mold. Whose liquid eyes were peeping Prom a broidery of gold. “I’ve come to ax ye, Biddy dear, If-—’’ Then lie stopped again, As if I ’s li< art had babbled o’er And oterfiowed his brain; JI is lips were twitching nervously O’er what they had to tell, And timed their quavers with the eyes That gently rose and fell. “I’ve come—” and then he toak her hands And held them in his own, “To ax—’’ and then be watched the buds That on her ch ek had blown, “Me purty dear—’’ and then heard The throbbing of her heart, That told how love had entered in And claimed its every part. “Och! don’t he tazin’ me,’’ s»id she, With j ust the laintest sigh, “I’ve si use enough to see you’ve com*, But what’s the rayson why? ’ “To ax—’’ and once again the tongue Forebore i s sweets to tell, “To ax—if Mrs. Mulligan Has any pigs to sell /” Our Women Browing Plump. Harper’s Bazar.] Europeans generally concede that our American women are handsome, though they say they are so fragile that they early loose their freshness, and with it much of their beauty. They particu larly remark the tendency of our women to grow thin with years, while we remark the tendency of their women to the accu mulation of flesh as soon as they have passed their youth, and often before that period. While we must allow that our women are, for the most part, lacking in roundness, there are few of ns, we imag» ine, who w ould not infinitely prefer the New World slenderness to the Old World stoutness. A medium between the two might be the standard of the becoming, and this medium we seem to be approach* ing, slowly perhaps, but steadily. The opinion of the thinness of the feminine part of nation is based rather on what has been than on what is. The majority of our women are still too lean for beau ty, but are far less lean than they were twenty-five or even fifteen years ago. This fact—for fact it unquestionably is —can scarcely have escaped observation. It is noticeable everywhere, particularly in large towns and cities, and is due to different causes, all of which are easily recognized. The fleshiness of a people de pends largely on the age and development of their country. Where everything is new, and in a certain sense, raw, as in this land, there very little leisure or re pose. Our entire energies are directed to our advancement; our minds are ab sorbed by thought of the future and what it promises. We hardly take time to get flesh; we think and fret off that which we have acquired, instead of ac quiring more. Our women do not per form so much physical labor as onr men, but they work longer in their way, and worry more; and anxiety or any form of mental disturbance insures meagreness as nothing else does. These live too xnnch through the mind to live quite com fortably through the body, and the body Buffers in consequence. In the Old W orld everything is fixed. The future is not likely to be different from the pres ent; there is small occasion for wistful ness or solicitude. Material conditions are not usually so favorable there as here, but they are permanent, and by their permanence, especially by the clear understanding that they are so, they be get content, whenoe adipose matter. American women neither work nor wor ry as they used. The republic is more developed, things are more settled, somewhat of the European feeling is creeping into the national mind, and less thinness is the result. American women take vastly better care of themselves than formerly. They have more acquaintance with hygienio laws, and hold them in far higher esteem. The days when they exposed themselves to dampness and wintry cold in thin slip pers and silk stockings; when they ab stained from flannels next the skin; when they pinched their waists to semi-suffo cation; when they sacrificed oomfort and health to what they conceived to be their appearances—those foolish and unhappy days have gone forever, have barely been known to the rising generation. Onr wo men now have no mawkish and morbid notions as to themselves; they no longer think that to be unhealthy is to be attrac tive; that individalism and interestingness are synonymous; that pale faces and compressed lungs are tokens of beanty. They dress seasonably; they wear thick boots and warm clothes in bad and cold weather; they allow themselves to breathe freely, and they find their looks improv ed, not iDjnred, by the wholesome change. There are exceptions, many of them, doubtless, but the rule is as we have described, and the exceptions are constantly diminishing. It may be safe ly said that all sensible women are becom ing, if they have not yet become converts to natnre, and that they heed her behests, recognizing the great principle that what is not natural cannot be beautiful. Little more than a quarter of a oentn- ry ago young American women were ashamed to show a hearty appetite in public. They were infected with the By- ronic philosophy; they wanted to be gpiritnal—as if all tine spirituality did not rest on aonnd physical conditions— and to look elegantly wretched. Many of them had half their wish; they looked wretched, but not elegant. They were oharged with drinking vinegar, eating slate-penoils and committing other mon- strong absurdities. They may have been unjustly accused, but their theories war rant the aconsation. All such nonsense belongs to the past. American women to-day eat as munh as they want, and more wholesome food than they once ate; they walk more, court the open air, cul tivate their bodies as well as their minds, believe in perfect digestion, unbroken sleep, the glow and glory of nnblemished health. No wonder their proportions are fuller, their cheeks more blooming, their eyes brighter, their steps more elastic. The growth of the country and their common sense are serving them gener ously. The scrawny, sallow, peaked woman, if she be educated and fairly placed, will ere long ceaBe to be the type of the mid dle aged American woman. With the steady growth of the republic,the increas ed ease of circumstances, and their com plete health, American women will be oomelier and ronnder now than they have been. External and internal conditlbns assure us this. They are not likely to beoome gross, as so many of their Euro pean sisters are; the character of the country] its institntions and its atmos phere, with their own temperament, will preserve them from that. Tlie Claims of God. In an address to the men of business delivered at the Friend’s Meeting-house, Bishopsgate street, London, Mr. Spurgeon said: ‘•The mao who does not go into busi ness to gain a livelihood or increase his wealth, is not likely to make mnch of a man of business; bnt proper objects can be pursued in subservience to the highest object—God’s glory being first and ohief. But with many it is not so. God’s glory —what dees that matter? So loDg as they can drive a bargain by rigging the mar ket, even common honesty may go. God’s glory—what does that signify ? They would ley it in the dost and tread upon it rather than they would make one. eigth per cent, less profit. His own ag - . grandizement absorbs many a man’s whole activities; for gain he lives—lives till at last he dies with this grand result, be dies with a million of money. Yes, this is the banner around which the troops of the world gather—the yellow flag of ‘property.’ This is the prize of their high calling—a corner in The Illustrated Lon don News and a squabble amongst their family as to bow to divide the spoil.” This is hard hitting, bnt it is jnst. —Much has been written against the accordeon, but the first evening after a young man who practiced on one moved into the second floor of a house a smile lit up the face of the aged gentleman who lay in sickness on the floor above. He said that he was now reconciled to death. —“Doctor, my daughter seems to be going blind, aDd she’s just getting ready for he wedding, too! O, dear, what is to be done?’’ “Let her go right on with the wedding, madam, by all means. If any thing can open her eyes, marriage will.” To Prevent Flies Inujking Pictube Frames.—Boil three or four onions in one pint of water. Brash your frames over with the liquid. No fly will touch them, and it will not injure the frames. To Keep Bibd3 from Chebby Tbee9.— Tie strips of white muslin to the limbs, and let them float out in the air; this will usually keey them away. If they become accustomed to the muslin, trie some oth er scarcrow. To Pbesekve Autumn Leaves.—Have a middling hot iron and rub on quickly a little white wax, then quickly press both sides of the leaves; wax the iron anew for each side of the leaf; only rnb iron once over the leaf. Forest tree leaves for wreaths are prepared in the same way.) To Cbystalize Dbied Gbasses.—Take one pound of powdered alnm, poor on two or three quarts of boiling water place the grasses in and let them remain until the solution becomes cold and the alnm crystalizes; do not move them while crystaliziDg. It takes about twelve honrs. Fob Stabching Linen.—Use one tea- spoonfnl powdered borax to one quart boiling starch; it will improve the stiff ness and gloss. To Cleanse Jewelry.—Use hot water and a clean brnsb; rub a very little soap on the brush, then dip it into powdered borax and scour well; rinse in hot water, and rub dry with a clean towel, or cha mois is better, silver bangles are bright ened quickly in the same way. To Pbepabf. an Invigobating Bath.— A teaspoonful or more of powdered borax thrown into the bath-tnb while bathing will oommunicate a velvety softness to the water, end at the same time invigor ate and rest the bather; persons troubled with nervousness or wakeful nights will find this kind of bath a great benefit. A Remedy fob Whooping Cough.—Two thirds castor oil, one-third syrup of ip ecac. Dose: Half teaspoonfnl from two to six hours apart, according to the sever ity of the cough. Shake the mixture well before using. It U almost infalli ble. How to Detect Adultebation in Vin- egab.—Procure 10 cents worth of chlo ride of Barium, and add to a wine glass ful of vinegar 20 drops. If the vinegar is free from sulphuric acid it will canse no change in its appearance, bat if not it will become milky in color, and if al lowed to stand, will precipitates sedi ment resembling lime. Two-thirds of the vinegar sold is thus adulterated, and its effects are very injurious. No one should neglect to use this simple test. Equivalents of Weight and Measubes.—Sixty drops, or one drachm, is the official equivalent of one teaspoonful, although in several instances the actual number exceeds 100. Every family ought to have a graded drachm glass in their house; they are marked off every five minims or drops, and can be bought at any drnggist’s glassware store, for, say 15 cents. Every mother knows the feeling of distrnst she experiences when dispensing medicine in dropd. —There seems to be nothing like faith. One of the deacons of a church recently wrote to a friend: “We have secured the Rev. Mr. Smith at a salary of $200 a year, and ara hoping for a great work of «aoe.” UNDERGROUND. BY PAUL H. HAYNE. Mitjettic dreams of heavenly calms, Bright visions of unfading palms, Wh< rewith the brows of s'iints are crowned - Awhile my soul resigns them all, Content to rest death’s dreamless thrall. Safe underground! Rest, rest, oh Ivious rest I crave, Though narrowed to a pice-clad grave, With sylv^j shadows shimmering round, Th* peace of h aven, If pure and d- ep, Scarce woes me like earth’s ebon sle p, Far underground. By infinite weariness possessed, Of sonl and senses, blood and br ast, Where can such Gile .d balm be found As that which breatt.es from cut the sod Baptized l - v rain and dews of God. Deep underground? A century’s space-1 vearn to be Untroubled, slumbering tranquilly Therel>y the hauuted woodlands bound - What suns shall set, what planets rise O’er pulseless brain and curtained eyes, Calm underground! A century’s sleep might bring redress To these dull wounds of weariness. Till the soothed spirit, hale and sound, Grew conscious of the sacred trust That bolds immortal bloom in dust, Low underground. Yea! consc’ous grew of rustling wings, And keen, mysterious whisperings, Blown flame like o’er the burial m< und; My soul would greet thy Orient kits Angel of P- UiDgenesis, Thrilled underground! Powerful Peter. »The Methodist Recorder says: “The death is announced of one of the old Australian aborigines, who of late has gained an unenviable notoriety in the east of Australia. ‘Powerful Porter’ seems to have been remarkable for his ferocity and for his canning. He had murdered three wives, and had decided to pat the fourth to death, when his own career was cat short. He prided himself on the manner in which he ‘got rid of’ his last father-in-law. The old man was blind, and a harden to his family; so Peter invited him to take a walk, led him to the verge of a mighty precipice, and, pretending to walk in advance, 8&id, ‘Come on.’ Bat the aged man seemed to recognize bis danger as if by instinct, and refused to proceed. His relative, therefore, went behind him, and pushed him over the brink. ‘Peter the Powers fnl’ was an object of terror to both na tives and Europeans. He was at the head of a tribe, which be ruled despoti cally ; and by the most of the members of the tribe, his death is hailed as a deliv erance. He repeatedly foiled those who endeavored to take him prisoner, and though sometimes captured he succeeded in making his escape. Retribution, however, overtook him at last. He was found asleep by a dozen armed men, who rnshed upon him, and secured him, after a desperate struggle, in which the mur derer lost a thumb and foot. He was dragged to Brisbane jail, where he died from loss of blood before capital punish ment could be inflicted. In onr abhor rence of his atrocities, however, we mast not write down this man as lost to every sentiment of humanity and virtue ; he once carried his father on his back through twenty miles of hostile country, to put him out of harm’s way. And had he been brought under the power of that gospel which can change the fary of the iion in a human being into tbe meekness of a lamb he might have become a moral hero, and exerted a mighty influence for good in the tribe to which he belonged. ” Billy and Bob, The Detroit Free Press says: One day three or four weeks ago a gamin, who seemed to have no friends in the world, was ran over by a vehicle on Gratiot Avenue, and fatally irjured. After he had been in the hospital for a week a boy about his own age and size, and looking as friendless and forlorn, called to ask about him and to leave an orange. He seemed much embarrassed, and would answer no questions. After that be came daily, always bringing something, if no more than an apple. Last week, when the nurse told him that Billy had no chance to get well, the strange boy wait ed around longer than usnal, and finally asked if he could go in. He had been invited many times before,bat had always refused. Billy, pale and weak and. ema ciated, opened his eyes in wonder at sight of the boy, and before he realized who it was the stranger bent close to bis face and sobbed: “Billy, can you forgive a feller? We was alius fighting, and I was alius too much for ye, but lam sorry! ’Fore ye die won’t ye tell me ye havn’t any grudge agin me?” The young lad, then almost in the shadow of death, reached up his thin white arms, clasped them around the other’s neck, and replied: “Don’t cry, Bob—don’t feel bad! I was ugly and mean, and I was heaving a stone at ye when the wagon hit me. If ye’ll forgive me I’ll forgive yon, and I’ll pray for both o’ us! ” Bob was half and hour late the morn ing Billy died. When the nnrse took him to the shrouded corpse he kissed the pale face tenderly, and gasped: “D-did he say anything about—about me?” “He spoke of you just before he died —asked if you were here,” replied tbe nurse. “And may I go—go to the funeral?” “You may.” And he did. He was tbe only mourn er. His heart was tbe only one that ach ed. No tears were shed by others, and they left him sitting by the new-made grave with heart so big that he could not speak. If, under the crust of vice and igno rance, there are such springs of pare feel ■ ing and true nobility, who shall grow weary of doing good? —An old farmer, on being asked why a peacock that was strutting through the yard was like the figure 9, couldn’t see the resemblance; but light broke in on him when he was told that it was because it was nothing without its tail. —Epitaph on a tombstone in South Ciro!in»: “Here lies the body of Robert Gordin, mouth almighty and teeth acco- din; stranger, tread lightly over this won der; if he opens his month you’re gone by thunder.” —A little girl, where a minister had been invited to dinner, was privately put on her good behavior. Finding a lull in the conversation at tbe table, she folded her hands and said: “O God,please pass the butter.” »» The Frenoh Academy of Sciences has elected Dom Pedro a foreign member.
