HINTS TO DINERS-OTJT.
What You Should and Should Not
Do.
Of course, St. Louis, being old, aris
tocratic and cultivated, needs no hints
as to deportment, but the following ar
ticle may be valuable merely from a
sanitary point of view. It is best to
introduce the subject so :
One of the latest contributions to
the literature of the alcohol question
is an essay by Dr. Sutherland, a Lon
don expert in nervous disorders, who,
regarding wine as “ a good friend, but
a bad enemy,” and recognizing, more
over, the impracticability of total ab
stinence in a social system which in
cludes dinner-parties, evening enter
tainments with supper, etc., lays down
for the guidanco of “ those who sus
pect they are taking habitually a lar
ger allowance of alcohol than is com
patible with heaith,” the following
rules :
Alcoholic stimulants should never be
taken in the morning before lunch. If
one be obliged to do so habitually, it is
certain that alcohol is gradually get
ting a hold on the individual, which he
will not easily throw off. If, in excep
tional cases, a person be called upon to
undergo unusual fatigue in the morn
ing, and feel the necessity for a stimu
lant, a glass of beer may be taken. No
one in good "health should ever take
wine or spirits in the morning.
If any one fear that he is taking too
much alcohol, the easiest way to limit
the quantity is to drink the same al
lowance of the same wine every day.
This, for various reasons, should be
brown sherry and should be taken as
follows : Either two glasses after lunch
and two after dinner, or one and a half
after lunch, the same after dinner and
one with a biscuit in tne afternoon.—
During lunch and dinner, water most
be drunk, and wine taken only at the
end of the meal.
No healthy man should evei take
more than four glasses of wine daily as
his usual allowance, and should reduce
:his to three if possible. Those who
are accustomed to wine should not
take less than this every day.
Those who wish to become teetotal
lers should leave off alcohol very gradu
ally, and the period during which this
reformation is brought about should
extend over nut less than two years.
No healthy man should ever touch
spirits, whether raw or diluted, except
under specially exceptional circum
stances, as, for instance, after great ex
posure to wet or cold. Liquors at din
ner are also to be avoided.
Roughly speaking, one tumblerful of
beer contains about the same amount
of alcohol as one wineglassful of wine
or half a wineglassful of brandy.
Ladies who are in good health should
take one glass of sherry or claret at
lunch ; one and a half ordinarily at
dinner; one glass of champagne and
one of claret at dinner parties ; and
two glasses of champagne with seltzer
water at balls.
Ladies in delicate health, who are
going to ride io the park, if they have
breakfasted early and do not lunch un
til late, may take a glass of dry sher
ry and biscuit before starting for their
ride.
Men, at dinner, may take a glass of
sherry with their soup, if they have
not had one in the afternoon, no nock ;
a glass and a half of champagne and
one of sherry or claret after dinuer.
If they will keep to this they may dine
out as often as they like and it will not
hurt them.
At public dinners the same rule
should be observed ; but as there are
occasions on which it is almost impos
sible to avoid drinking much, it is then
recommended that they should either
have a tumblerful of water by their
side, and drink a mouthful of it afte
every sip of wine, or that they sdould
drink champage and seltzer-water, ha ,f
and half, all through diuner.
At balls, the safest drink as a re
freshment is claret-cup. Bad claret is
the least offensive bad wine. A biscuit
should be taken with it. It is astonish
ing what reparative powers there are
in a buscuit
~At supper, under all circumstances,
champagne should be diluded with
seltzer-water. If the champage be
questionable, claret-cup should be
taken, or beer, if it can be got
Wine should never be taken undi
luted, especially on an empty stomach,
when one is hot and dusty. This rul9
particularly applies to traveling.
Brandy and soda water should be
avoided as rank poison. Diluting the
brandy does not destroy its pernicious
effects; and the soda water, by its
bulk, acts most injuriously by sepa
rating the food from the walls of the
stomach, thus preventing the gastric
juice from having free access to it and
assisting in the process of digestion.
If the rules have been neglected, and
a severe bilious headache be the re
sult, nothing short of an emetic, which
may consist of a tablespoonful of mus
tard in a tumbler of hot water will be
effectual.
If a person suspect he has taken bad
wine, and fear the result, it is a good
plan to take about thirty grains of car
bonate of soda, on the same night, be-
fore going to bed.
The best kind of supper to have at
home is a biscuit and a glass of water.
In connection with the caution given
above against soda water it may be
mentioned that the beverage known by
that name in England is usuallv really
made of soda, whereas, what is errone
ously called “ soda water ” here is sim
ple water hichly charged with carbonic
acid gas. With this exception Dr.
Sutherland’s rules are quite as appli
cable to this latitude as to England.
The Curse of Alcohol. — ln training
for great muscnlar exertions, ardent
spirits are strictly prohibited. Those
who think alcohol produces strength,
and who call temperance people fa
natics, should ponder the remark of
the great brute, Tom Sayers, who, when
preparing lor a great prize fight, was
asked, “Well, Thomas, I suppose you
use plenty of beefsteak, London por
ter, and pale ale ? ” The boxer replied,
“In my time I have drank more than
was good for me ; but, when I have
business to do, there’s nothing like
water and the dumb-bells.” After re
tiring from "business,” he took to
drink, and died a sot. Cold water
made him a Samson ; alcohol laid him
In his grave.

A Christmas Hymn.
BY T. BPCHAJJAN BEAD.
The air was still o’er Bethlehem’s plain,
As if the great night held its breath,
When Life Eternal came to reign
Over a world of Death.
The pagan at his midnight board
Let fall his brimming cup of gold;
He felt the presence of his Lora
Before His birth was told.
The temples trembled to their base,
The idols shuddered as in pain;
A priesthood in its power or place
Knelt to its gods in vain.
All nature felt a thrill divine
When burst that meteor on the night,
Which, pointing to the Saviour’s shrine,
Proclaimed the new-born light—
Light to the shepherds! and the star
Gilded their silent midnight fold—
Light to the wise men from afar,
Bearing their gifts of gold.
Light to a realm of sin and grief—
Light to a world in all its needs—
The Light of lifo—a new belief
Rising o’er fallen creeds—
Light on a tangled path of thorns,
Though leading to a martyr’s throne—
A light to guide till Christ returns
In glory to His own.
There still it shines, while far abroad
The Christmas choir sings now, as then,
“ Glory, glory unto God!
Peace and good-will to men!”
Be Kind to the Poor.
Ay, be kind to them ! Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of hunger,
who have never passed through dreary
winter with chattering teeth and limbs
palsied with cold, who have never
prayed for the sweet forgetfulness of
sleep, to shut out for a brief season
the frost whose icy breath struck a
chill to your heart, and who have
never been a prey to the canker-worm
of grief and misery, which all these
sufferings entail, we pray you, be kind
to the poor!
Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessing of prosperity which heaven
has showered upon you, will yield you
no true happiness if others are starv
ing. Heaven has placed you upon
earth, has exposed you to like chances
of want and wretchedness. In a Pha
risaical spirit then, thank not God
“that you are not as other men,” but
rather with the publican sue humbly
for mercy, and enhance the efficacy of
prayer by charity and kindness.
A satisfied conscience sheds a peace
and comfort through the heart and
soul, without which the immortal
spirit cannot be satisfied. Follow not,
then, after the selfish ’ess of the world
around you, unless, like Dives, tho”
wouldst hereafter reap his fate, and
view amidst thy torment the poor man
in Abraham’s bosom. Be kind to the
poor. Earth has more sorrow than the
heart can contain, more of suffering
than frail nature can bear. Tbe w T idow
left to toil and struggle alone amidst
the desolation of bereavement appeals
in tones more eloquent than words for
your sympathies and aid. The helpless
orphan, brought into the world and
left alone by the relentless hand of
death, claims your guardianship and
protection. And as you expect a con
tinuance of the mercies and blessings
of Heaven, so in this wise be merciful
to others ; then shall the gates of plen
ty and honor be open to thee, and the
pillow of peace kiss thy cheek.
Judging by Appearances.
When Maine was a District of Mas
sachusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was
chosen to represent the District in the
Massachusetts Legislature. He was an
eccentric man, and one of the best
lawyers of his time. He owned a farm,
and did much work on his land ; and
when the time came for him to set out
for Boston, his best suit of clothes was
a suit of homespun. His wife objected
to his going in that garb, but he did
not care. ‘I will get a fashionable suit
made as soon as I reach Boston,’ he
said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at Doolittle’s City Tavern.
Let it be understood that he was a gra
duate of Harvard, and at this tavern
he was at home. As he entered the
parlor of the house he found several
ladies and gentlemen assembled, and
he heard a remark from one of them,
‘Ah, here comes a countryman of real
homespun genius. Here’s fun.’ Whit
man stared at the company, and then
sat down.
“ Say, my friend, you are from the
country,” remarked one of the gentle
men.
“ Ya-as,” anewered Ezekiel, with a
curious twist of the face.
The ladies tittered.
“And what do you think of our
city ?”
“ It’s a pooty thickly settled place,
anyhow. It’s got a sweepin’ sight of
houses in it.”
“ And a good many people, too.”
“ Ya-as, I should guess so.”
“ Many people where you came
from ?”.
“ Wall, some.”
“ Plenty of ladies, I suppose.”
“ Ya-as, a fair sprinklin’.”
“And I don’t doubt that you are
quite a beau among them.”
“ Ya-as, I beaus ’em home tew meet
in, and singin’ schewl.”
“Perhaps the gentleman from the
country will take a glass of wine ?”
“ Thank-ee. Don’t keer if I do.”
The wine was brought.
“ You must drink a toast.”
“Oh git eout. I pat toast —never
heard o’ sich a thing as drinkin, it.
But I can give ye a sentiment.”
The ladies clapped their hands, but
what was their surprise when the
stranger, arising, spoke calmly and
clearly as follows:
“Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to
wish you health and happiness, with
every blessing earth can afford ; and
may you grow better and wiser with
advancing years, bearing ever in mind
that outward appearances are often
deceitful. You mistook me, from my
dress, for a country booby, while I,
from the same superficial cause,
thought you were ladies and gentle
men. The mistake has been mutual.”
He had just spoken, when Caleb
Strong, the Governor of the State, en
tered and inquired for Mr. Whitman.
“ Ah, here lam Governor.” Glad to
see you.” Then, turning to the dumb
founded company :
“ I wish you a very good evening.”
—
Whittier recently wrote as follows
concerning his literary works: “I
have not felt able to place a very high
estimate upon my writings. I know
too well their deficiencies. But I hare
given the public the best I had to give,
and the measure of favor with which
it has been received has been a con
stant surprise to me. This, at least, I
can say truly, that I have been actu
ated by a higher motive thau literary
success, and it has been my desire that
whatever influence my writing may
exert should be found on the side of
morality, freedom and Christian char
ity.
AUGUSTA, GLA., FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1874.
[Now York Times.
Old Children.
A complaint often made by close ob
servers of human nature is that there
are no more children; they are all
matured into middle-aged people. The
complaint has been pictorially illus
trated very well by Punch, who has
given us the wise, blase, and fashion
able young-old little people, in great
variety. Charles Augustus, aged eight,
is represented as speaking in languid
terms of the latest favorite actress,
and saying to his companion, aged
seven and a half, “You should have
seen Ellen Tree;” and the juvenile
politician of Belgravia is depicted
with his infantile brow knitted,
while he speaks of Disraeli as
“ a muff.” Our own reports of fash
ionable life occasionally give us
glimpses of children’s parties where
the little girls wear point lace, and
dance the german, and the boys appear
in evening dress, and flirt desperately.
On the whole, we do not wonder that
sentimental people dolefully declare
that there are no more children. Here
and there, in well-ordered and happy
homes, may be young folks who have
not exhausted lifo at the age of ten
years, to whom the pantomime is a rare
treat, and for whom Parisian bonbons
still have a breathless charm. We are
glad to believe that there are some
sensible parents who try to keep a few
sweets of life for the gratification of
the young ones when they shall be
older than they are now. But it is
nevertheless true that childlike chil
dren are comparatively few. We have
plenty of unfortunates who are requir
ed to “ act like little ladies,” or “ walk
like little gentlemenbut the brood
of hearty children is so small that a
child-loving visitor grows sorrowful in
the midst of the sad little manikins of
the present age.
This holiday season, with its bright
show of gifts for the young, very strik
ingly illustrates the disappearance of
the children. The boys are taught en
gineering, architecture and mathemat
ics, by means of what are called “ phil
osophical toys.” His box of blocks is
no longer a thing of childish delight;
it brings him the binomial theorem or
a model of the Parthenon. He does not
sail a shingle-built sloop in the pond ;
he stands with languid pride on the
bank while his toy side-wheel steamer
is propelled over the mimic wave on
purely scientific principles. He can
not whittle out a wind-mill or con
struct a jack-o’-lantern, but he can
make a drawing-room bow and speak
some execrable French. His little sis
ter, who is proud of wearing a wider
sash than her next-door infant neigh
bor, despises rag babies and the toys
of the past generation. Her dolls—
for dolls she has—are ball-room belles,
dressed in the height of fashion, or
they are models of the latest style of
walking and carriage dress. The mi
raculous invention of the doll that said
“papa” and “mamma” no longer thrills
our child-world. Dolls that walk, dolls
that waltz with male dolls, and dolls
that wear eye-glasses and a certain
high-bred hauteur, are most numerous
in the market. Nay, having portrayed
through these puppets all tiie mystery
of life, the purveyors for the children
have even produced widow dolls, and
the curious visitor to the toy-shops
may find a rosy waxen image clad in
all the luxury of woa, with widow’s
weeds and grief-shadowed handker
chief, and personifying to the unhappy
little possessor that subdued elation
which some people think should bloom
beneath the widow’s cap. From the
cradle to the grave these young-old
children receive their quick impres
sions. They absorb the whole mystery
of life before they are ten years old.
It is a pity that the world should be
thus defrauded of the charm of child
hood. The infantile grace and wise
unconsciousness of children make the
oldest of us young again. We cannot af
ford to lose the childrenwith their sim
ple sports and fleeting delusions. The
infant that peoples rags and tags with
living, sentient souls, or the boy that
gees a fairy boat in his rude carving, is
a perfect bud of the wonderful flower
that is to come. Those who destroy
their fond illusions, and force into the
child’s hand a token of maturity do
great harm. They are like those rude
florists who tear open tho half-blown
flower, and give us the rose without
its perfume. The little girl who
glorifies bits of broken crockery into
the finest china service, or animates
her rag-baby with a real soul, is
wronged when Sevres and a “widow”
doll are put into her hands. Give the
young folks the old-fashioned toys
that may perish with the using and
make nobody bankrupt. Let the little
ones romp and tear their clothes ; it is
a thousand-fold better than “ deport
ment ” and fashionable attire. In spite
of the unnatural repression of parents,
child nature will try to make its way.
The curled darlings who mope and
pine in drawing-room and parlor are
prematurely unhappy, as well as pre
maturely old. Sorrow and disappoint
ment come soon enough ; let us keep
our children young and gay while we
can.
A watch with a history was recently
presented to M. Oscar De Lafayette at
Paris, by Minister Washburne, in be
half of the United States. This time
piece, which is a curious and unique
affair, was given to the Marquis De
Lafayette by Washington, as a souve
nir of the revolutionary struggle which
virtually terminated by the surrender
of Cornwallis at Yorktown, and in which
Lafayette had borne an honorable part.
When the Marquis was on his last visit
to this country, in 1625, the watch was
stolen from him at Nashville, Tenn. A
year or two ago, it was discovered in a
“second-hand shop” at Louisville, Ky.,
and was purchased for $75 by a gen
tleman who knew its historical value.
Congress last Summer appropriated
S3OO for the purchase, and restoration
to the Lafayette family of this interest
ing piece of property, which now finds
its resting place with the heirs of the
illustrious name of Lafayette. It is
not often that an article of so small
intrinsic value has so remarkable a
career nor such a fitting en,d to a che
quered history.
It is told of the late Judge BenjaJ
min Tappan, of Ohio, that when he
applied to the Judges of the Supreme
Court for admission to the Bar of that
State, he was asked the following
questions, to which he gave the an
swers as follows: “ Mr. Tappan, what
is law?” Answer —“An unjust distri
bution of justice.” “ Mr. Tappan, what
is equity ?” Answer —“ Ad and. im
position upon common sensei” No
other questions were asked, and he
was given a certificate of admission.
When a Chicago woman answered
the door-bell and was informed that
her husband had been drowned, she
sank down and whispered; “ And the
bill for SSO worth of false hair is to
come up at four o’clock—ooh—hoooh !”

of Current Literature and Nows; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout tho enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Ciuef,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D- D„
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of tho highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, wo shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make ea ch weekly issue
transoond its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from diuerent parts of
the laud who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repre
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. Tho CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year and to each sub

graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS Ol
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of tho world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room. *
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the \\c-rk thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like tho same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
