KMtiliANII AMI III SSI A. England's recall of the Afghan cam- mission ih the first important act of the present British ministry touching foreign notations, and seems to indicate it recur rence to the tory policy of a jingo attitude Howards Kussia. ComniiswonB tiro in iSiese canes a trifle like councils of war. Councils of war, it is said, “never fight.” They are summoned generally to formu late the reasons for not fighting. So eoui- JBASsions area familiar device for finding wnuo way out of international difficulty fairer than the warlike way. This was efre purticulnr function of the Afghan com- mistnon, though the commission itself did not always understand it. Russia’s (jressure u]K)n tlie confines of her itomtic neighbors is constant, and m> tiio . limits move, and to Unit tlie frontier of a barbarous state in that part of the world is something like Diuling the edgeofthe wind in the sandy desert. Tliere is hardly a post or place tSxn ownership of which may’not at one tmo or another be in dispute. In such »world of uncertainties lies tlie latest tilsptrte between the Russians and Af ghans, but as England is the protector of She Afglutn ameer, it becomes a dispute between Knghtnd and Russia. With a .iberal government in power in Kngland, agoverijinont with a majority strong in the confidence of tlie nation and not uoniiM-Ilcd to attitudinize for |Kipuliirity, it was plainly enough seen that to put hostility and perhaps war between two great states of Europe because of a dis pute over a strip of sandy desert utterly worthless, would be mere madness. Therefore, when this dispute arose it was simply bunded over to a commission of officers appointed to settle it, or find a fair basis of settlement. Now thnt policy w abandoned and control of the subject is resumed in liondon, as if England in tended to make it a subject of negotiation directly with the Russian czar. Between Afghanistan, Batouin and the position of Alexander, of Bulgaria, tliere are causes enough to make a substantial quarrel be tween England and Russia; and if, in die recent separation of the czar from bis friendly relations with Austria and tjievrtnmy, either of these lias resorted to England for comfort, it is possible tlie «ase may prove )i serious one. no: POETRY OE CHANGE. Probably nothAg can more amuse the 'Julies than the examination of obsolete fashion plates. Or, if anything lie more •musing, it is the ransacking of old presses and trunks, in which are packed speci mens of the female apparel of tlie days of wir grandmothers. And when the young tblk are permitted to bring out these old iiustumes and masquerade in them, the fan is hilarious. Men’s old time costumes do not appear quite as absurd, except, ^erhiqw, their “high hatB." There are serious aspects in which these antiquated tilings appear. Tlie grotesque and tlie serious, the mirthfbl and the melancholy, jostle each other in one's thoughts, and 5he result is a poem, if we could write it. One author lias done Ao in one of tlie most perfect of liis Sfoems. “Tlie Last Leaf,” by Oliver Wendell Holmes, is a pen-portrait of Major Melville, the last survivor of tlie Boston Tea Party. While the major saw iKunigc' nil around him, to which his wn work contributed in no small de gree, lie still kept bis own identity, though— The old three-cornered hat. And the breeches, and all that. Were so queer. The best poetry is, in one sense, the .bast original. It is the suggestion of something outside of the writer’s mind. It is the interpretation and repetition of what all things, whether animate or in animate, silent or noisy, say to the man i»r woman whose mind is active and whose perceptions are quick: “There's anisic in all things if men have ears.” tliere is a story in everything, new or »Id, if men have minds and memory. Changes in pursuits and the manners, '.in the methods of business, and in the sources of amusement, are written in the disused appliances and in tlie deserted bouses and haunts of former generations. We see this in old towns—and even in aid Bolitudes. Your city of yesterday is Ake a pert young maiden arrayed in modern millinery, who seems with beau tiful assurance to challenge your admira tion. Your old town modernized is a metaphorical M«. Skewton—or, as the farmers put it, “mutton dressed lamb fashion.” You look carelessly at i “all modern improvements” and seek to find, beneath what i“, the quaint traces of whut « as. The marks of time in n kind old hiiiimn face are nmro attractive than the laughing dimples in the cheek of swept sixteen. There is an eloquent his tory in the older liiec, which appeals to you ns one who has been there. There is n saucy prophecy in the young which troubles you with speculations upon what limy he. And hence it conies that all ! men, in some degree, are fond of recall- , ing the past; iiiul that men and women with minds say the old was better ; though with the practical sense which adapts us all to the present, we accept I and enjoy it. TIIE MOJIKX AMI (IIIMIIIKN I’HAYED. Many touching mid beautiful incidents have been related in connection with the earthquake which lias recently shaken the country from centre to circumference. Some of these were under 1,he most dis tressing circumstances, but now that it is ail over the tender pathos comes with power. An incident of this kind occurred at the orphan usyluni in this city. When the earthquake came the children were sitting around a table. A little four-year- old girl put her head upon the table and when the shock was over, and she was asked why she did it, replierj, “1 was asking God to take care of us.” A little boy went to his father a day or so after the storm and in a confiden tial yet penitant way told him that he could tell why the earthquake came. When asked to do so lie said, “I forgot to say my prayers that night.” “And the women and children prayed.” So state the earthquake dispatches from Charleston and other places. It must have been a touching, as well as a pitiable sight. But if anything could stay the wrath of the Almighty, still the troubled waters und stop the rocking earth,,it must have been the prayers of tiioHe innocents, rising like sweet in cense to heaven. “Men ought always to pray," is tlidMeaching of the New Tes tament, and doubtless some of them did in tiiis hour of supreme danger. However skeptical people may pretend to bo,they are apt to call on God in tlie hour of peril. A great deal is said about nature and her laws, and tlie be lief is a fleeted by ninny that no amount of .prayer can throw the car of nature from its. track, or in the least change tlie plans of the Omnipo tent, and yet people will go on calling for help in the day of trouble. Tlie world is not run on a chance schedule. It moves according to harmony and law, but it is well to remember that God is the Great Engineer, and that not a spar row falls to the ground without His no tice. It is pleasing to Him that His creatures show their dependence! upon Him, for He made all for His glory. Prayer is the medium of coninAinieation between earth and heaven. It is tlie spiritual telephone and telegraph over which prayers and their answers are ever ascending and descending, like white-robed angels. God has changed i His purposes regarding His creatures on I certain conditions, as in ease of Ninevah. I The true Christian believes that had the ! faith of Abraham not wavered even the | cities of the plains would have been i spared. ! It is a pleasing episode in the history of the great calamity Which hus befallen Charleston that “the women and children prayed.” Tlie frown must have passed from tin* countenance of the Almighty, and tlie tumultuous earth calmed down eve yet the work of demolition was com plete. Who dare say that many precious lives were not saved by those prayers? Christians are likened to salt,which saves from putrefaction, and to leaven, which diffuses itself through tlie whole mass; but prayer is the sweet incense that pro pitiates the Creator and Maker of all. It is to be hoped that the women and children will ever pray, and that through this precious agency our earth will escape the fury of the Avenger. Don’t wait to pray till tlie earth begins to shake or the cyclone’s rumbling is heard, but in the horn's of tranquility and peace pray, and peradventure sueli calamities may. he averted. The Grape Tore. This pleasant prescription is little heard in America ; Go and eat two pounds of grapes the first day; increase one-half pound each day un til you eat eight pounds every day; and do this for six weeks. In Germany, at Bingen, “where the soldier boy layat Merau, in the Tyrol; at Veray, etc., there are stations for the prosecution of the grape cure, or Trauven cur, as it is there called. These places have many guests every year from August until November. Persons troubled with hemorrhoids, constipation and menstrual disorders are especially benefited by taking grapes, as above indicated, with a crust of bread. The grapes best adapted are those contain ing much grape sugar. They must be entirely ripe and fresh, and it is advised to crush them between the tongue and palate and not bet ween the teeth, as it will effect the enamel. After eating them some alkaline solution must be used as a mouth wash. The time for eating is before breakfast on an empty stomach; then follows a little milk and bread ; in three hours more grapes, then a light repast, and more grapes in the afternoon. As thr back as Deuteronomy we find, “Thou mayst eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure.” The sys tematic dietitic use of grapes is fer superior to any laxative, in that the grapes act upon the bowels and at the same time produce fat, and the weight and vigor of the body is increased. Pliny says the Romans used grapes internally and externally—bathed in the pulp— fbr various bowel troubles,but especially fbr long standing diarrhoeas. They swallowed the pulp and ejected the seed and skin. The most remark^ able point that chemistry has recently settled is, that grape juice contains all of the alimentary principles necessary to the human system. Some chemist speaks of the grape as vegetable milk. Sour and watery grapes do.no good, but actually diminish the weight. The Hungarian grape is the best. Our California,* or Isabellas, are excellent. Persons who HufTer with irregu lar digestion i and those who have luded themselves into taking purgatives con slant ly can find in grapes a most valuable repara live agent. Nutrition by their use is enhanced while the secretions and excretions are promoted and a salutary action on the nervous 'system fol lows. A little Hungarian wine, sweetened with grope sugar, is a fhvorite remedy for mothers in Germany for teething children and infantile* diurrhrea generally. Give less opium, that locks up all secretions, and try grapes, that increase the action of all secreting organs and promote Iht. Eat grapes before breakfast, so that there may not be space for bo much breakfast bacon, batter- cakes and other southern frying pan monsters. An oddity of the German language is there is no | word for a single grape. It is called eine beere—a I berry. A bunch is traube. f Vegetables and Fruits.
