NO BABY IN THE HOUSE.
No baby in the house, I know—
’Tis far too ni :e and clean ;
No top# by careless fingers strewn
Upon the floor are seen ;
No finger-marks are on the panes,
No scratches on the chairs,
No wooden men set up in rows,
Or marsh ded off in pairs;
No little stockings to be darned,
All ragged at the toes ;
No pile of mending to be done,
Made up of baby-c othes:
No little tronbles to be soothed,
No little hands to fold ;
No grimmy fingers to be washed,
No stories to be told;
No lender kisses to be given,
No nicknames, “Love” and “Mouse;”
No merry frolic after tea—
No bahv in the house.
Late Hours.
Lute hours are carrying more people to
untimely graves than the deadly missiles of
warfare. Ihe bullet and the crashing
shell mangle limbs and inflict flesh wounds,
but midnight dissipation impairs the whole
system and hurries all ages and sexes under
the sod. This growing tendency to turn
the night into day is one nf the most serious
of our social evils, and should receive the
earnest consideration of those interested in
the welfare of the human race. By looking
back at the newspapers of that time, it will
be found that New Yorkers,-in the begin*
ingof this century, departed from places of
amusement not far from the time which
they now enter them. The doors of the
theatre opened at half- past five o’clock, and
the curtain “rose at half-past six.” The
early Knickerbockers attended parties and
other social gatherings at seven and return*
ed home between nine and ten o’clock.
Now all this is changed, and “between nine
and ten” is the fa-hiooable hour for going
out. And what is true of grown people is >
rapidly becoming true ofjuveyiles. Young-. •
s'ers in roundabouts and misses with short
dresses are arranging their finerv long after
the hour when children of the last genera
tion were tucked away in trundle-beds.
Little ones—scarce loosened from their
mothers’ apron-strings—are dispatched in
carriages to “children’s parties” from half
past eight until half past nine, and brought
home at midnight or later. “Don’t have
the carriage yet,” said a little miss in our
hearing a few evenings since ; no one else
will be there until half-past nine;” and
with that she gave a toss of her head, as
much as to say that she was not going to
keep less fashionable hours than her
mamma.
There is certainly no occasion to go be
- this condition of affairs for an explan
ation of the physical deterioration of both
sexes. II ow very few robust men and
women are to he found now-a-davs ! Gan
we not each count on our fingers’ ends all
the friends and acquaintances who are free
from bodily ailments and enjoy good
health ? We comment upon the fact that
young men become bald and prematurely
grow old ; that voung ladies are almost in
variably complaining of a pain in the head
or side, pale, weary look, and rarely
exhibit those ruddy countenances which
are so common among their English sisters.
But does it ever occur to parents that they
are to a great extent responsiole f«>r this ;
that they are mainly to blame that
able revelry and dissipation are now pro
tracted far into the night, robbing old and
young alike of health ? If they in throw
ing open their houses to company, will that
the guests shall retire at a seasonable hour,
the guests will do so. The prevailing fash
ion cannot be p rpetuated without the con
sent of the “heads of the establishments.,’
However late the “young folks” may desire
to protract their festivities, they must con
form to the requirements of the “old folks,”
the householders We s ay, then, it is not
the young, the youthful pleasure-seekers
who are responsible for the late-hour folly
so much as the parents, who have it in their
power to stop it. So far as children are
concerned, parents do them a great wrong
in either encouraging or permitting an in
dulgence in late hour festivities and enter
tainments. If they will not themselves
conform to the laws of health, the least they
can do is to prevent their children from
adopting their own ruinous practices.
“Early to bod and early to rise” is a maxim
which canuot be too strictly observed by
both old and young. Hearth and Home.
The New Translation of the Bible.
I learn from a private hut authentic
source, that the. Committee on the Revision
and Retranslation of the Bible, though very
active, will not be able to give us the revis»
ed New Testament until about four years
from now, and the Old Testament not until
a little over ten years. There will hardly
be a text in the whole Bible left unahered.
Now that these ecclesiastics are ful'y com
mitted to the work, many find that the
changes forced upon them by the unani
mous conclusions ofscholars are asstarthng
as they are peremptory. The Lord’s Prav
er has!! I learn, been already altered in an
important particular. The word “trespas
ses” does not rightly translate any word in
the Bible. This was indeed known by
King James’ translators, who thought that
the right translation of the petition was,
“Forgive us our debts as we forgive our
debtors.” But it was naturally thought
that this true translation might endanger
the faith of all the shop-keepers in England
a fraternity not much inclined to f >rgive
their debtors. — London cor. Cincinnati

NVbat Stopped Him.
A clergyman relates that early in his
ministry he-and another brother were con
ducting a meeting in which there was much
religious interest. An old man gave ex
pression to his joy by shouting, and eontin

services. Droiner n , .

The shouting man at once became quiet.

A 6rrßt“Mrdiciiif Man.”
At the recent inauguration of the
Ayer, (named a ter the famous Dr. j. C.
Ayer) in Massachusetts, the Dr. made the
following reference to his widely-known
remedies, in the course of his speech thank
ing them at length for the honor:
*******
F r great numbers the timely treatment
of physicians cannot he had; over large
tracts <»f country good or competent physi
cians cannot be had at all. Tney cannot
visit patients enough many miles apart to
live bv their profession, nor can they carry
medicines enough with them on horseback
for Hieir requirements. Hence has arisen
in these modern times, a necessity for reme
dies ready at hand, with direction for their
use—a present recourse for relief in the
exigencies of sickness, when no other aid is
rear. It is anew necessity consequent
upon the. changed conditions of human life
—a want I have spent my years in supply
ing, and I will tell you something of its
extent. Oyr laboratory makes every day
some 630,000 potions or dose* of our prepa
rations. These are all taken by somebody.
Hero is a number equal to the population
of fifteen cities as large as Lowell, taking
them every day (for sickness keeps no Sab
baths) nor for once only, hut again and
again year after year, through nearly one
third ofaccntdry. We all join in the jokes
about medicines as we do about the Doctor’s
mission to kill, the clergyman’s insincerity
and the lawyer’s cheating. Yet eaclv cf
these labors among the most serious reali
ties of life. Sickness and its attendant
suffering are no joke, neither is the treat
ment of them. This system of transporta
ble relief, to he madeavailable to the people,
keep its remed es fresh in their-mern
ories. This is done by advertising. Mark
its extent. An advertisement, taking the
run of the newspapers with which we con
tract (some 1900 annually) is struck off in
such numbers, that when piled upon each
other flatwise, like the leaves of a book, the
thickness through them is sixteen miles.
Iri addition, it takes some seven millions of
pamphlets and twelve millions of circulars
to meet the puhlic demand for this kind of
information. Our annual issue of pam
phlets alone, laid solid upon each ojher,
make a pile eight and one quarter miles
high. The circulars endwise reach 1894
miies, and these assertions are matters of
mathematical certainty. Whatever the es
timation in which these publications may
be held here, they reach the firesides of
millions upon millions cf men who do
treasure and regard them, and who in their
trials do heed the counsel they bring.
Not only over these great Western conti
nents but throughout that other land so
little known to you, under our feet, the
Australian continent, there are few villages
as large as this which are not familiar with
the name you have chosen, and employing
th-f' Tr<-*qedies that bear it.
TIIUS, gentlemen, have 1 etrivon in my
Inlmble sphere to render some service to
mv fellow men, and to deserve among (be
afflicted and unfortunate some regard for
the name which your kind partiality hangs
on these walls around me.
Louis Adolph Thiers.
The following description of the great
statesman, who is at the head of affairs in
France, is takqn from the British Quarterly
Review:
As to physical appearance, it is impossi
ble to conceive a more ignoble little being
than Adolph Thiers. He lias neither figure,
nor shapo, nor grace, nor mien ; and truly,
to use the most unsavory description, of Cor
menin (Timon.) looks like one of those
provincial barbers who, with brush and
razors in hand, go from door to door offering
their savonnette.
11 is voice is thin, hnYsh and reedy ; his
aspect sinister, deceitful and tricky ; a sar
donic smi ! e plays about his insincere and
mocking mouth, and at first you are dispos
ed to distrust *so ill-favored a looking little
dwarf, and to disbelieve bis story. But
hear the persuasive little pigmy, hear him
fairly out, and he greets you with such
pleasant, lively, light, voluble talk, inter
spersed with historical remark, personal
anecdote, ingenious reflections, all conveyed
in such clear, concise and incomparable
language, that you forget his ugliness, his
impudence, insincerity and dishonesty. Y'ou
listen, and, as Rosseau said in one of his
most eloquent letters, “in listening are un
done.”
Asa journalist he was successful, as a
historian he was notorious, and national to
a certain extent. He has, no doubt, many
talents and defects, but his successes in life
are more owing to his worst vices than to
his negative virtues. He is probably the
most intelligent man in Europe, if a percep
tion of the wants and wishes of the million
indicate intelligence; but some think him
also one of the most insincere, mocking ar and
corrupt of public men, and at the bottom as
one of the shallowest in all sound knowl
edge.
WHAT GIRLS SHOULD DRINK.
How to Have a Fair Complexion—A Word
from Dr. Dio Lewis.
Pr. Dio Lewis, in his book : “Our Girls,”
says :
“I am astonished that a young woman
Tvho is ambitious of a clear, fine skin should
drink tea. It is a great enemy to fair com
plexions. Wine, coffee and cocoa may be
used without tinging the skin ; but as soon
as tea-drinking becomes a regular habit,
the eye of the discriminating observer de
tects it in the skin. Tea compromises the
complexion probably by derangingthe liver.
Weak tea or c 'flee maybe used occasionally
in moderate quantity without harm ; and
those who live much in the op*n air, and
are occupied with work, may drink either
inconsiderable quantities wiihoutnoticeable
harm ; but I advise all young women who
desire to pre-erve a soft, clear skin and quiet
nerves, to avoid all drinks but cold water.

A great part of the children that are born
n w-a days are not go and. average, healthy
children. They are children of deficient
brain-powor, of diseased nervous pystems ;
children bpg *tten of tobocco smoke, lute
hours, tight-lacing, and dyspeptic stomachs.
The father has put his son’s brain into his
meerschaum, and smoked it out; the moth
er has diddled and dribbled it away in balls
and -operas. Two young people erne to

has a sinking at her stomach when she first

form any mental labor, without tobaooo.
Both are burning life’s candle at both ends;
both are wakeful and nervms, with weak
muscles and vibrating nerves.
Two such persons unite in giving exis

in a state of such a diseased nervous sen
sibility that all the forces of nature aro tor

neither cold nor hunger, but irrepressible
nervous agony—sometimes from fear, some
times because everything in life is too strong
for them, and jars on their poor, weakened
nerves just ns it does on those of an invalid
in a low, nervous fever.
There is scarcely a man that does not,
use tobacco ; and if a man uses tobacco,
th°re is a constant emanation of it from his
person. Now. however, he may justify the
use of it himself, he can hardly think that
stale tobacco effluvium is a healthy agent
to be carried into the lungs of a delicate
infant. Children of smoking fathers olten

Triumph of tlic American Mitraillcur.
A British journal thus concedes the mer
its of one of the latest triumphs of Ameri
can skill—the Gatlin mitraillcur. “This
weapon,” it says, sixty batteries of which
have been ordered for the British army, has
a bore of 0,42 inch, and weighs 3 cwt, 2 qr.
12 lx, the weight of the gun-carriage be
ing 4 ewt, 3 qr. 7 lb. The lead bullet
weighs 380 grains and the of pow
der 80 grains. Each battery, so far as the
trials at the ranges at Plurnstead Marshes
and Shoehurynesß have gone, will have a
hitting, wounding, and killing power among
broken infantry on uneven ground, nt
ranges of from 200 yards to \,O(H) yards, of
900 a minute ; but in close column of in
fantry, a battery would hit 1,200 a minute.
In the hands of British gunners its real
military value and service use have yet to
be tried in the exigencies and vicissitudes
of actual warfare. "In adopting this ro w
weapon ill irv tUo nor vioc t it lirro bcCU f*) U I ill
that no class of gun can meet all require
ments. Within ordinary rifle range, or up
to 1.000 yards, the small Gatlin was found
more effectual than the fieid guns, but with
longer ranges the field gun had the best of
it. The new gun possesses a maximum of
destructive power with the minimum of
weight and size, is easy to maneuver, and
can be .fired with accuracy of aim, without
recoil, thousands of times. The 300 or 400
mitrailleurs just ordered, will he manufac
tured at Colt’s armory, Hartford, Connec
ticut. As they arrive in England, they
will be brought to Woolwich, and will form
anew arid special branch of the Royal
artillery,, their batteries being distinct from
those of the field guns.
A D« light ful Legend.
There is a charming tradition connected
with the site on which the Temple of Solo
mon was erected. It is said to have been
owned in common by two brothers, one of
whom had a family ; the other had none.
On the evening succeeding the harvest, the
wheat having been gathering in separate
shocks, the elder brother said unto his wife :
“My younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat of day ; I will rise, take of
my shocks and place them with his, with
out his knowledge.” The younger brother,
being actuated by similar aind motive, said
within himself, “My brother has a family,
and I have none, I will contribute to their
support; I will arise, take of my shocks,
and place them with his without his knowl
edge ” Judge of their mutual astonish
ment, when on the following morning they
found their shocks undiminished. This
course of events transpired for several
nights, when each resolved in ii>s mind to
stand guard and solve this mystery. They
did so, when, on the following night, they
met each other, half way between their
respective shock*, with their arms full,
j Upon ground hallowed with such associa
| tions as these, was the Temple of Solomon
I erected —so spacious and magnificent, the
admiration and wonder of the world.
Alas! in these days how many would
sooner steal their brother’s whole shock
than add to it a single sheaf!
Solace for tlie Homely.
Nothing wears like homeliness and plain

inasmuch as it has nothing to spoil, it takes
courage As Lady Charlotte Lind«ay, wit

it is composed of evanescent qualites ; in

must make the m -t ot the show, for it

and tell-tale faces we call to mind, most
suggesting the question or the exclamation,
how old ! are the faces of once handsome
women. It is beauties that make wrecks—
an epithet never applicable to the harsh

effort to keep young, bo severely ridiculed
on all hands as the last mark of a vain friv
olous character, one may remark that it is
not every one who can afford to put on old
age —to Le any < lder than he can help.
Respect to old age does not come naturally

the common So lung as a man has’ vigor

A sudden mentotl emotion oan send too
much blood to the brain ; or too great men
tal excitement does the same thing. It is
the e-”antiiil nature of ail wines and spirits
to send an increased amount of blood to the
brain.
The first effect of taking a glass of wine
or stronger form of alcohol is to send the
blood there faster than common; hence it
quickens the circulation; that gives a red
face ; it increases the activity of the hrain,
and it works faster, so does the tongue.
Hut as the blood there goes to the brain
faster than common, it returns faster, and
no special permanent harm results. But
supposing a man keeps on drinking, tho
blood is sunt to the brain so much faster,
in such large quantities, that in order to
make room for it the arteries have to en
large themselves ; they increase in size,
and in doing so press against tho more
yielding flaccid veins, which carry blood
from the brain, and thus diminish their
size, their bores; the result being, the blood
.is not only carried to the arteries of tho
brain faster than is natural or healthful,
but is prevented from leaving it as fast as
usual; h mce a double set of causes of
death are Ret in operation. Ilenco a man
may drink enough brandy or other spir.t in
a few hours or even minutes to bring on a
fatal attack of apoplexy; this is literally be
ing dead drunk.— Hall's Journal oj' Health.

It is Not tlic Best Things;
It is not the best things—that is, the
things which we call best—that make men ;
it is not the pleasant things ; it is not calm
experiences of life ; it is liie’s rugged ex
periences, its tempests, its trials. The dis
cipline of life is here good and there evil,
hero trouble and there joy, here rudeness
and there smoothness, one working with
the other, and the alterations of the one and
the other which necessitate adaptions, con
stitute a part ot that education which
makes a man a man, in distinction from an
animal which has no education. The suc
cessful man invariably bears on his brow
the marks of the struggles which be has
had to undergo.
Too Young.
A young man, whose moustache is visi

victim of misplaced confidence a short time
ago. lie had been particularly sweet on a
young lady, and bad previously paid her
several visits. The girl's parents, thinking
both too young to begin keeping company
with each other, gave them a gentle hint to
that effect, —first, by calling the girl out of
the room and sending her to bed; and sec
ond, by the lady of the house bringing into
the room a huge slice of bread and butter,
with molasses attachment, and saying to
the youth in her kindest manner: “There,
Bubby, take this and go home ; it is a long
ways, and your mother will be anxious.’ 7
How to Win a Bet.
At Binghampton, New York, a favorite
mode of winning the drinks is for a sharper
to bet a. yokel that he can stand an egg on
end “right out on the floor,” and that the
yokel can’t brpak it with a half-bushel
measure. The bet is taken, and the fiend
in human shape puts the egg precisely in
the cotner, and, if you wish to know how it
is yourself, you would do well to try the
experiment. ,
