The Departed Year.
BY JrRS. T. S. nALL.
Gone!—didst hear the midnight knoll?
Dear departed year, farewell!
X shall greet the nevermoro
Till I touch the other shore!
Gone!—I’m left to muse at last:
Ne’er can X ret.love tho past;
Its sealed record is on high;
1 must meet it by-and-by.
O my soul ! dost thou not know
Whether it be weal or woe ?—
Where thy thoughts, thy words, thy deeds
Garnered with the Master's sheaves?
Have the seconds, oao by ono,
Told of aught that’s good bgun ?
Have the moments, as thoy tlew,
| Scattered cheer, like drops of dew?
Then those precious, golden hours!
As the sweets exhaled irotn flowers,
Hast thou shed each passing day
Clearer light, to mark the way ?
Holy Sabbaths! seasons bloat!
When the Lord doth bid us rest:
Shouidst thou sea no more its sun,
Would thy Judge pronounce, “Well done’?
As descended from above,
Never-ceasing gifts of love,
Didst thou not thine off’ring hring
To thy Father, Maker, King?
O my soul! why not reply?
Must the nuswor bo a sigh?
Heavenly Father! give me grace.
Lest 1 ne’er behold Thy face!
But the door is open still 1
1 may enter if f will;
The dear Saviour asks me why
I will stay away and tlie.
O my soul, to Jesus fiee 1
May my name recorded ho
On the spotless page divine !
Lord, I'll ho forever Thine.
Now, as dawns the brigh t New Year,
I henceforth no more will fear;
Ever by ley Khcph wot’n side,
Naught of harm can sne betide.
So, departed year, farewell!
AVe shall meet where ang»l« dwell:
May I in that blissful land
Haven place at God’s right hand!_
A Home for Mother.
It is delightful to turn from tbe too
frequent sad example of the dime-DOvel
bit ton runaway boys bringing them
solves and their parents to grief, to a
picture of filial love and duty like this:
Says a letter written from a Western
city:
Business called me to the United
States Laud Office. While thorea boy,
apparently sixteen or seventeen years
of age. came in and presented a ceicifi
cate for forty acres of land.
I was struck with tho countenance
and general appearance of the boy, and
inquired of him tor whom he was purs
chasing the laud,
“For myself, sir.’
I ihen inquired where ho bad got the
money, lie answered, * 1 earned it
Feeling thou an increased desire for
knowing something more about the boy,
I asked about himself and parents, lie
took a seat and gave mo tho following
narrative;
‘ I am tho oldest of five children.
Father is a drinking man, and often
would return homo drum:. Finding
that father would not abstain from li
quor, I resolved to make an effort id
some way to help my mother and bro¬
thers and sisters. I got an axe and
went into a new part of the country to
work clearing land, and I have saved
enough to buy forty acres of land out
there. - '
‘Well, my good boy, what are you go
ing to do with the land ?’
/Ul work on it, build a log house,
and when it is all ready, will bring
father, mother, brothers and sisters to
live with me. The laod I want for my
mother, which will secure her from
want in her old age.'
‘And what will you do with your
father, if he continues to drink ?’
“Oh, sir, when we get him on a farm
bo will feel at home and bo bappy, and I
hope become a sober maD.’
•Youttg man, may God’s blessing at¬
tend you in your efforts to help, and to
honor your father aDd mother.’
Bv this time tbe receiver handed him '
*
bis receipt for _ forty — acres of laud, , .
he was leaving the office be said:
‘At last I have a homo far my mo¬
ther.’

Intemperance
BY CHARLESJSPRAGUE.
This subject, viewed in a national
light, presents a fearfufotolkical aspect.
The ruinous consequences of wide¬
spread intemperance to:, a people gov.
erning themselves can hardly off'earth be over¬
estimated. If there be cue
nation more than another whose insti¬
tutions must draw their-life-blood from
the individual purity of its citizens,
that nation is our own. Where tbe
many enjoy little or no power it were a
trick of policy to wink at those vicos
and follies which would mb them of
both the ability aud inclination to im¬
prove their condition.! But in out coun¬
try, where almost every man, however
humble, beats to the omnipotent bal¬
lot box, his full portion of sovereignty,
and where, in short, public-ffeentimeut
is the absolute lever that moves the
political world—the purity of the peo¬
ple ia the only rock of their political
safety, We may boast, if we please,
of oar exalted privileges, and fondly
imagine that they will bo eternal—but
whenever those vices shall abound
which undeniably tend to abasement,
steeping tho poor and ignorant still
lower in poverty and ignorance, thereby
destroying that wholesome met v»! equal¬
ity which can alone sustain a so if ruled
people—it will bo found, by woeful ex>
porience, that our happy system of
government, the best ever devised for
the intelligent, and good, i* too very
worst to bo entrusted to the degraded
ami vicious. The tremendousfiewer of
suffrage, like tbe strength of tlx* sights
less Samson, so far from beii g their
protection, will but servo to puL down
upon th. ir heads the temple their an¬
cestors reared for them. National
greatness may for a time survive—
splendid talents and brilliant victories
may ding their delusive lustre abroad—
these can illumine the darkness, that
hauge tound light tho tbrono of a tfaapot—
but their will be like the baneful
(lame that hovers over decay tigtuomi
ity, aud tells of the corrupt
fester® -.Jjitrit
of American freedom will have gone;
and along our shores, and among our
bills—made sacred by the bones of the
pilgrims and the tombs of tho patriots
—even these, in tbo ears of their do
graded descendants, shall ring the last
knell of departed liberty.
With the exception of this ono hate¬
ful vice, which is spreading far and
wide, we may proudly challenge a com¬
parison with tbe dominions of the earth.
This great and besetting sin. the pa¬
rent of many others, is a national blot:
and if it shows the darker on our es¬
cutcheon, that it polutes so fair a sur¬
face, it becomes more imperiously the
duty of every patriotic citizen to assist
ia removing it.
Fish for Food.
During the last twenty years chem¬
ists and physiologists have been study
ing the uutricious value of various
foods. They ha^o advanced so far as to
compute Hie relative values of the com¬
mon articles of diet. These have been
so arranged in tables that tbe broad
winner of tbe household may see at a
glance what food will give tho most
nourishment to his family.
A prominent subject of these studios
has been the common food fishes Ac
tho recent meeting of the American
Association of Science, Professor At¬
water, a chemist, gave some of the res
suds of these experimental studies.
In one hundred pounds of tbe flesh
of fresh cod there are eighty three
pounds of water, and only seventeen
pounds of solids, la the same weight
of salmon there are sixiy-six and ono
half pounds of water, and thirty-three
and one-half pounds of solids. The
meauiug of those figures is that a family coil
eating one hundred pounds of
would be nourished by only one sixth
of it, whilo if thoy feed on tho same
weight of salmon, they would find one
third neutritious
Next in nuuitivo value to salmon
come fat halibut, shad, and whilriish
Then follow mackerel, blurfisb, lean
halibut, striped bass, flout:dvr, and lake
trout. The order in which they are
piacod indicates their relative value as
food. Lean beef is loss nutritious than
salmon, as it contains seventy-five per
cent, of water and twenty-five pore tit.
of solids.
While fish is highly nutritious and
healthy, theic is asomeweat exagerated
nAtlnn for uottou brain thur that food i itis . ... particularly of tbe valuable . . i . i . i , )
on account large
amount of phosphorus which if contains.
The notion owes some of its popularity
to a remark adedged to have been made
by the late Professor Agassiz. “When
1 wish to be very brilliant.” he is report
But us saying, *1 eat fL-.ii for dinuer ’
Professor Atwater says that the
notion is not founded upon fact. While
fish is excellent there is no evidence to
prove that tho flesh ia richer in pfaos
pborus than other meats — Youths Com

A LLENTOWN, Pa., December 2?___
Joseph Snyder, aged twenty-four years,
the murderer of Jacob aud Anna Gogol,
near Bethlehem, was found in a neigh¬
boring barn about nine o'clock this
morning. He was immediately taken
back to the house of his victims and
questioned as to the murder. Hg was
cool and collected, and at once confess¬
ed having committed the crime, telling
the story with great deliberation..;.
He was in lov6 with the eldest daugh¬
ter, aged sixteen years, but was op¬
posed by her parents. Ho believed
that, by killing them all, tbe opposition
would be removed to his suit. He had
scarcely confessed before a rope, taken
from one of the bods upsstalp, iwas
,
placed around his neck, and he was
dragged outside of the house and hung
to a large chestnut, tree. *
After being suspended twenty minutes
tho body was cut down by t|p poor

co. .oa'pi ndent writing from Cali¬
fornia says; A cure for wife-whipping
was authorized by tho last Legiiature
of Nevada. The authorities of Austin,
a mining town in that state, have erec¬
ted a whipping post to punish summa¬
rily wretches who abuse their wives by
blows. We wish it were practical to
apply appropriate correction to the no
less unmanly tyranny of unfeeling ex¬
acting and cruel words by which too
many husbands keep their wives in
never-ending torment. If man had the
trains be boasts, he would speak ever
kindly to the mother of his household,
if it were only for selfish motives.
Make your wife happy by tender and
affectionate treatment, and you will
make your home a paradise more pre¬
cious than gold and costly mansions
We admire the Hindoo parable (and
believe its instruction) that describes a
woman at the gate of heaven praying
that her naughty husband may be ad¬
mitted. “He was ever kind and true
lo me, and if you would make me happy
I must share with my husband.’’ Ia
stantly the portals opened aud tho an¬
gels bid him enter: “Because of thy
wife’s prayer thy sius are forgiven.
Who live in harmony ou earth in heaven
are not divided."
Why Rees Work In the Dark.
Every one knows what fresh honey ia
—a clear, yellow syrnp, without any
trace of solid sugar, in it. After strain¬
ing, it gradually assumes a crystal ap¬
pearance—it candies, as the saying is,
aud ultimately becomes a solid.mass of
sugar. It has been suspected that this
change has been duo to photographic
action; the same agent which alters
tbo molecular arrangement of the io¬
dine of silver on the excited cullodian
plate, and determines the formation of
camphor and iodine cristals in a bottle,
causes honey to assume a crystalline
form. Mr. Scheiber inclosed honey in
well-corked flasks, some of which bo
kept iu ijerfect darkness, white tho
others wore exposed to the light. The
result has beeu that the portion exposed
to the light soon crystalizes, vvbilo that
kept iu tho dark remains unchanged.
Iieuce, we see why tbe bees are so care¬
ful to obscure the glass windows which
are sometimes placed in their hives,
l’ho existence of the youDg depends on
liquidity of the saccharine food piesont
ed t > them, and if light were allowed
access to ibis, in all probability ic woald
prove fatal to the inmatesof the hive
