Somebody’s Darling.
Into a ward of the witewashed walla,
Where the dead and dying lay—
Wounded by bayonets, shelisand balls —
Somebody’s darling was borne one day;
Somebody's darling ! so young and so brave,
Wearing still on his pale sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering light of his boyhood grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold,
Kisring. the suow of that fair young brow;
Pale are the lips of that delicate mold—
Somebody’s darling is dying now.
Back lrom the beautiful blue-veined face
Brush every wandering silken thread;
Cross his hands as a sign of grace—
Somebody’s darling is still and dead.
Kiss him for somubody's sake,
Murmur a prayer sott and low;
O ' fccright curl from the cluster take;
T ey were somebody’s pride you know.
Sou ..body’s hand hath rested there;
Was it a mother’s, sott and white ?
And have the lips of a sister fair
Been baptised in those waves of light ?
God knows best, He was somebody’s love;
Somebody’s heart enshrined him there;
Somebody wafted his name above,
Night and morn on the wiugs of prayer;
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody’s watching and waiting for him,
Yearning to hold him again to her heart;
There he lies, with his bine eyes dim,
And smiling, child like, lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead.
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
“Si mebody’s darling lies buried here.”
II iibit.
It so difficult to break up establish
ed modes of action, and turn the chan
nels of one’s activities in new direc
rectio s, that it is not an? prising that
the mature in life, who have suffered
from not being started right in the
first place, should lay, as they are in
clined to, great stress on the impor
tance <. ‘ making in all things a good
beginning. There aro a few habits
which form a pretty good foundation
ior success in life and insure the
friendship of the discerning and vir
tuous. First among them we would
place tAe habit of si If help. This may
and should be formed in a child lie
fore it can walk or talk by providing
resources for its amusement and leav
ing it. within bound-s, to depend up
on the o resources. Then, as it grows
dder,- " should be taught, and gently
compelled to perform m its own oe
inilf all that it can do. Few of us but
know young meu and young women
perfectly helpless for all the ordinary
uses of life. If they alone were suf
feiers it wouldn’t matter much, but
they aie social leeches, always de
manding service and never rendering
it. Good husbands, good wives, good
parents rarely if ever, aro found in
this class of people. They are so de
pendent upon others —so perfectly un
used to the graver uses of existence
hat no reli inci can be placed upon
them—they are of little use in the'
world. Parents, no moral is needed;
look to your children—enable them
to be of use; for, unless they possess
this faculty, humanity is no better for
having known them.

and the judges declared her tlm win

universal uprising on the grand stand
accompanied by liuzzas and the wav

him waving her handkerchief with all

he saw here baby lying at tier feet and

Relative Weights.
The average weights of boys at
birth range a litlle over six pounds
an ! a half, while girls full a little be
ijw the figure. For the lirst twelve
years the two sexes increase in weight
in about the same ratio, after which
time the boys take the decided lea I—
the result being that young men of
twenty average about one hundred
and forty-three pounds, while the av
erage for young women of the same
ge is twenty-three pounds less. Men
reach their heaviest bulk at the age of
thirty-five, their average weight at
that time being about one hundred
and fifty-two pounds. The maximum
of weight is attained by women a’ fif

New Orleans as a Summer Re
sort.
New-Orleans seems inclined to
laugh at us in the torrid North. And
the Republican of the 10th uit., apgra
vatingly gives these statistics: “Those
who are now sweltering in the city of
New-York with old Sol raising the
mercury to 07 degrees in the shade,
and the hot bricks doubling the dan
gets of sunstroke in the narrow streets
are much worse off than the Can’t
get-*away Club at New Ot leans. Hero
we were comfortable at the same time
with the thermometer indicating only
85 degrees, and could take consola
tion by studying (ho weather report,
counting the number of Northern cit
ies sizzling over 100 degrees. While
we were comfortable yesterday, La
Crosse had to endure 100 degrees;
Omal a, 102 degrees, and slid rising,
and Ni w York must have suffered ter
ribly at 07 degrees. New Orleans is
always cooler than many of the North
ern sisters, even when the degree of
heat indicated by the thermometer is
the same, for our streets are wider,
the houses are not so high, and a
breeze provoke blessings from the peo
ple during the greater part of the day.
It has been generally remarked that
this is a cool Summer, and not to be
compared with that of 1873. But
last year was unusually hot all over
the country, and the scientific expla
nations of the causes would lili vol
umes. In New York the record was
above 100 degrees many days, and
deaths sunstroke were counted by
the hundred. Here the three hottest
days were July 6, 7 and 8, when it
was 97 digrees 98 and half degrees
and 99 degrees, the latter being the
hottest dy for many years. During
this time there were fifteen deaths
from sunstroke, a most unusual num
ber for New Orleans, but the victims
were confined to that class who are
compelled to labor continuously with
out protection from the sun’s rays.
During the Summer of 1872 theie
were only eight days with over 90 de
grees of heat. July 7,8, and 9 were
three of the warmest, the record show
ing 90 degrees 91 and a hulf, and a
month latc-r, August 12, it was 92 de
grees. There were only seven cases
of sunstroke this year. These statis
tics ought to make thoso envy those

How They Waltz,
A Put-in-Bay correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times furnishes the follow
ing lively description of the style in
which girls from different States and
localities waltz, as shown by the hops
at that pleasant resort:
‘‘People may say that a waltz is a
waltz, but ’tis a mistake; as much as to
say that a dog is a dog, for there are
dogs apd dogs, and there are waltzes
and waltzes. With one person it is
the poetry of motion;, with another it
is about as awkward a performance
as putting
going through the motion of running
up stairs would be. A Kentucky girl
is a natural waltzer, and she does it
with charming chic and abandon. An
Oi-io girl’s waltzing is easy, graceful
and “melodious.” If she happens to
come from Cincinnati, and across the
Rhine, she swings dreamily round
and round in the endless “Dutch
Waltz.” If she comes from Chicago,
she throws her hair back, jumps up
and cracks ber heels together, and car
ries off her astonished partner astho’
a simoom had struck him, and knocks
overall intervening obstacles in her
mad career around the room, if she
is from Indiana, 6he creeps closely
and timidly up to her partner, as
though she would like to get into his
vest, pocket, and melts away with ee
stacv as the witching strains of the
“Blue Danube” sweep through the
hull. If she is from Missouri, she
crooks her body in the middle like a
door hinge, takes her partner by the
shoulders, and makes him miserable
in trying to bop around her without
treadiug on her No. 9 shoes. It she
comes from Michigan, she astonishes
her partner by now and then working
in a touch of the double-shuffle, or a
bit of pigeon-wing, with the Waltz
step; an l if she comes from Arkansas,
she throws both arms around his neck,
rolls up her eyes as she floats away,
and is heard to murmur, “Oh, hug me,
John !”

SUNDAY READING.
Written for the Gazette ]
The Saved.
ACTS, 11, 47.
This text is often brought as a proof
of predestination. But if the context
be examined, it will appear that suck
as should be saved, were not to be
saved by the absolute decree of God,
but by continuing steadfast in the cpos
tolic doctrine.
The doctrine of predestination elec
t on—and reprobation, which are all
nearly connected, receive their chief
force from the supposition that the
fore-knowledge of God cannot be recon
cd(d with the freedom of man’s will.
That this is an awful, deep, and to ub
incomprehensible subject, may well be
allowed, are we not told in various
parts of Serpiture, of the deep things of
God? Are we not told that things
which are impossible with nun are
possible with God ? Are we not for
bidden to be wise above what is writ
ten ?
The predestinarian, in support of
bis opinion, quotes a number of texts,
which seem to serve bis purpose. All
of them, however, either by the con
text, or some other mode of interpre -
tation admit of easy answers. One of
the shongest is the Apostle’s celebra
ted allusion t<> the potter and his.
clay, (Itom. IX, 21) This passage is.
taken from the 18tb chapter Jeremiah.
By the prophetic sign of the potter
and bis clay (according to tbs com
mon mode of Eastern instruction) the
prophet instructs the Jews, that God
exercised the same power iu receiv
ing sue nation and rejecting another,
as the potter does bis ctay. And it
is very remarkable that the hansta
tators of our Bible, who were not
thought to bo very averse to these
doctrines, tell us m the contents of
this chapter, that under the type of a
poller is shown God’s absolute power in
disposing of nations. Now, ii is evi
dent, that tlio Apostle makes exactly
this use of the allusion. He has not
the least reference to individuals , nor
to a future stale, but merely threatens
the Jew?i with the completion of tboso
prophecies which hung over them—
the rejection of the nation, and the
acceptance of the Gentiles.
But the strongest appeal against
this doctrine, is to the nature rf the
Gospel, and to the whole tenor of
Scripture. What can be more absurd
tbau to suppose Ood offers salvation,
to man in the Gospel, which can be of
no service to him? What can be
more absured than for the Scripture
to exhort, to threaten, to, encourage,
and to promise, unless these modes of
application meant to treat that men
like creatures, who have it in their
power either to obey or transgress?
Even on a supposition that certain
passages on this subject are not easi
ly explained, whether is it more nat
ural to conclude that the whole Sotp
ture is founded on absurdity, or that
few texts are’not clearly understood ?
Let us leave the interpretation of
hidden misteries (if they seem so)
with God, and give our whole atten
tion to the duties demanded of us.
more people, 7ery likely, according to
St. James, go to heaven who prove
their faith by their works, than who
hung on to the Savior’s merits with
out showing any love for Him by
i keeping His commandments.
GILPIN.
A Smart Retort. —A German paper
contains a reply from a clergyman
who was travelling, and who stopped
at a hotel much lrequented by wags
and jokers. The host, not being useu
to have a clergyman at his table, roof
ed at him with surprise; the guests
used all their artillery of wit upon
him without eliciting a remark in selt
d; fence. The worthy clergyman ate
his dinner, quietly, apparently with
out observing the gibes and sneers cl
his neighbors. One of them, at, last,
in despair at his forbearance, said o
him.“ Well, I wonder at your patience.
Have vou not heard all that has been
said against you ?” “Ob yest; but I
am used to it. Do you kpow who l
am ?” “No, Sir.” “Well, I will in
form vou. lam chaplain of a lunatic
asylum; such remark* have no
upon me "
