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. fSrojr- When Goldsmith Maid came round the third time in her last race, and the judges declared her tlm win ner, ami tne time 2:16, there was a universal uprising on the grand stand accompanied by liuzzas and the wav ing of handkerchiefs. The ladies seemed more enthusiastic than the men. A genilemau states that upon turning round, he saw a woman near him waving her handkerchief with all her might, but, upon looking down, he saw here baby lying at tier feet and beginning to cry. “Madam,” said he, “your child,” pointing to it. “Oh.” said she, “I forgot all about baby; it makes no difference; I expect to have several babies, but I never expect to see another Goldsmith Maid.’ - *•-* 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 ty years, and is about one hundred and twenty-eight pounds, -k weight of the average man or woman at growth is about twenty timtw’that fct birth. to n * it is W, U*t i, in them p mts ?” said a fond mother to her youi-g hopeful. “What a dreadful ou-kneesy fellow you are.” 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 •.••ho h ive left ns in search of elfmes mote content with uiuu 759* 1 , and the facilities for going to Biloxi, the proximity of the lake, and the de lights of Grand Isle will afford them all the relief they need.” — N. Y. Times. 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 !” #37” A married lady who is in the habit <'f .spending most of her time in Lire fl&jr : V °f her neighbors, happen ed t t:,ken ami seut her hus bft w .reat haste for a physician.

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 "
