A NAME IN THE SAND.
BYGEORQE D. PaaXTICE.
Alone I walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
I stooped and wrote upon the' sand.
My name, the yar and day.
As onward from the spot I passed
One lingering look behind I cast
A wave came rolling high and fist,
And washed my lines away.
?And so methonght 'twill qnickly be
With every mark on earth from me!
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep lcross the place
Where I have trod the sunny shore
Of time, and to me no more;
Of me, my day, the name I bore.
To leave to trackor trace.
And yet nith Him. who counts tha sands ,
And holds he water in His hands,
I know a lasting record standi
Inscribed against my name.
Of all this mjrtal pare has wrought,
Of all th'u thinkin; so:d thmght, . .
And 'roai these -fl-jeting m );nents caught
For glory or for thame.
CURING A COLD.
BY MARK TV.' AIM.
The first time I began to sneeze, a
friend told me to go and bathe my
feet in hot water and go to bed.; I did
so. Shortly after another friend told
me to get up and tako. a cold shower
bath. I did that also. Within the
hour, another friend assured me that
it was policy to feed a cold and starve
a fever. I had both. So I thought it
best to fill myself up for the cold, and
let the fever starve 'awhile. In a case
of this kind I seldom do tilings by
,alvcs; late preUy hearty. Ij confer
red ruy custom upon a stranger, who
had just opened" his restaurant on
orllandt street, near the hotel, Uiat
morning, paying for a full meal, lie
waited nearme in respectful silence
until I had fmished feeding my cold,
when he inquired if the people about
New York were much afflicted iwith
colds. I told him I thought they
were. He theu went out and took in
his sign.
I started up towards the office, and
on the way encountered another bosom
!: : u i who told me that a quart ol
,v ;:l Va:. water would come as near
rr;?,4- u.id as anything in the world,
i j-.u I v thought I had room for it, but
I l:!. d it anyhow. The -result was
fe-i'in isuig. 1 believe I threw up .my
iminttal soul. NJw, as I give my ex
perience only for the benefit of those
of your friends who are troubled with
this distemper. I feel that they wil'
see the propriety of my cautioning
them pgainsl following such portion
of it as proved insufficient with ins,
and acting upon this conviction I warn
them against warm salt water It
may be a good enough remedy, but
I thi-nli it is rather too severe. If I
had another cold in the head, and there
was no course left me but to take
either an earthquake or a quart nf sail
water, I would take my chances on
the earthquake. After this everybody
in the hotel became interested, aud i
took all sorts of remedies hot lemon
ade, cold lemonade, pepper tea. bone
set. stewed q iaker, hoarhouad syrup.
onions and loaf sugar, lemons and
brown sugar, vinegar and laudanum,
five bottles Of fir balsam, eight bottles
of ch'errv Doctoral, and ' ten bottles of
Uncle Sam's remedy, bat all without
effect. One of the prescriptions given
by an old lad 4 waswell, it was dread
ful. She mixed a decoction composed
of molssses, catnip, peppermint, aqua
fortis, lurpeuline, kerosene and various
other dru?rs and instructed me to take
a wineglass full of it every fifteen uaia
iites. I never took but one dose, that
was enough. I had to lake .to my
bed, and remain there for two entire
days. Wben I felt a little better
more things were recommended. I
was desperate and willing to take auy-
-! thins. Flain cin was recommended,

then sin and molasses, tbea gin .and
onions. I took all three.- V detected

no particular result, towerer. except
that I had acquired a breath like a
turkey buzzard, and lad to change
my boarding place. At this new place
they suggested a different remedy to
any yet triejl. A sheet: bath was re
commended: I had never refused
a
remedy yetj therefore I determined to
take a sheet bathv though I had uo
idea what sort of arrangement it was.
It was administered af midnight, and
the weather was very frosty. My
back aad breast were: stripped and a
sheet (there! appeared to hi a thousand
yards of It) soaked in ice water was
wound around me until I resembled a

TKETRUE MOTHER.
A good mother never grows old to a
good son, nor does his love for her.
Their relations to each other are not
changed by the passing years. She vis'
to the iast his motherland what ever
he is to others, to her he is. her boy.
Riography is rich with1., illustrations of
this truth, j although - the man whose
mother is still spared tjo hit need not
beyond his own experience to recog
nize its force. Here, for an example,
is gruff old iPr. Johusoin, bearish and
boorish in inany tilings. When he is
fifty years old, and his 'mother is nine
ty; he writes to her in tenderness;
You have been-the best mother, and I
believe.the best woman iu the world. I
thank you for your indulgence to me,
and beg forgiveness of.all that 1 have
done ill. and of all that have omitted
to do well.' How many men there
are whom tho woild dittle thinks of
as child like, who could . make these
words their own. and s6t their hands
to them with Johnson's closing as3ur
ance, "I am, dear, mother, your duti
ful son." Aud the Hon hearted Luther
who seems better suited1 to thunder
defiance atj spiritual oppressors than
to speak words of trustful affection to
a kind -heii ted woman, tnrns trom
his religious warfare to write to Lis
aged and dying mother; '"I am deep
ly sorrowful that X cannot be with you
in the flesh i as I fain would be. All
your children pray for you."
John Quincy Adams mother lived
to be seventy-four but jhe had not out
grown bis sense of dependence upon
her whan she was taken away. -My
mother was an angel upon earth." he
wrote. "She was the real personifica
tion of female virtue, of piety, of chari
ty, of ever active and nevcr-intermit-liu"
benevolesu-e. 0 Go 1 ! could she

GOD'S, AXB TREWS,"
WOMANLY ATTRACTIONS.
Fortunately for tnemselTes. womens'
attractions do not pemh with their
youin.
There is, undeniably, a great j
charm in the fresh beauty in a girl of
eighteen, and many m;n wish thev
might take capitive her first affections.
Between
eighteen
and twenty-two
the changes of a girl, so far its the
charms of her person go, are not likely
to bo great but in that time, by long
er intercourse with society, and by
natural development she may yrow
more companionable for men of ma
turity, and her carriage and self-control
better and greater. Those are
important years in a young woman's
o - ; j
attractiveness, aud adds to the store
of her charms She is still young, but
she has outlived many youthful fancies,
but feels some of the dignity of wo-,
manhood. No better ages than those
in a maiden's life, and never is she
lovelier.
But why stop at twenty-six? JPhat
fairer women are to be found than those
between twenty-six and thirty, and
even older? If well and cheerful they
are then in their prime, and if they
care to do so may capture hearts which
have been steeled against girlish fasci
nation. Oftentimes the-make .the best of
wives, and men find a solace and com
panionship in their society which im
maturity cannot give.
They have the advantage of experi
ence, and they have learned the lesson
taught by longer contact with the
world, while fctill they may not be
averse to falling in.lova. . It is not be
cuusc of a woman's being eighteen,
twenty-six or thirty, that makes her
lovely in the eyes of men. She may
be just as lovely at one age as the
other and feuiiuiue beauty is alluring
at any. age.
The Slip, the Cup and Lip.
The Boston Transcript retells the
origin of the rhyming old saw: ;
"There's many a slip r
'Twcen the cup and tlw lip."
Some of our subscribers who hare
studied Greek may have seen the
account in the Greek Readers :
A King of Thrace Lad planted a
vineyard, when one of his " slaves,
whom he had much oppressed in that
very work.-prophesied thai he should
neter taste of the wine produced in iL
The monarch disregarded the predic
tion, and when at an entertainment, h
- - 1
held a glassful of his own wine made
from the grapes of that vineyard. h'
sent for the slave and asked hire what
lie thought of his prophecy now. To
which the other replied : "Many things
fallout between the cup and the lip,"
and had scarcely; delivered this singu
lar response before lh"e news was
brought that a monstrous boar was lay
ing waate the favorite vineyard. Think
ing in a rage, he put down the cup
which he held in his hands and hur
ried out with his people to attack the
boar ; but being too eager, the boar
rushed upon him and killed bin with
out him having tasted of the wine.

"NdBODY WILL SEE IT;
A short time ago we called upon a
certain parly in business in Vellejo,
and asked him why he did not adver
tise in the Chjonicte.
"Oh, because," he answered, "what's
the use? Nobody will ever see lU" .
Nonsense," ftfc Hplied ; evejn'- .if

. -Hut" '. : . -. :
"No but at all. I don't want to ad
vcrtise, and don't bother me any more ;
I'm busy;" and he walked back into
his store and strangled a poor little 3y
that was helping itself from a barrel
of sugar, j ;
Time passed, and we never again
intimated "advertisement" to him,
though meeting him daily. YitrrdaT
the gentleman called at our sanctum,
looking a little uncertain as to hdw he
would be received. Wo chert9hbd no
hard feelings, and motioned him! to a
chair. ' '
"I suppose you heard of that j little
affair of mine below?"
"Oh yes," sail wc ' that little

he , "of course vou are

"Oh, no, guess not; nobody will

"Yes they will ; and it will ruin me as
sure as I'm sitting here, I'll bo the
laughing-stock of the town. They will
see it!"
We rose and touched him Impres
sively on the shoulder. .
"Well, we will admit that the people
will see it ; but then, you know, they
will never think of it again." '
His words came back to him like a

DURATION OF ETERNITY.
Various illustrations: have been sug
gested to convey to jthe mind some
i lea , of illimitablo duration. It has
been said, suppose that one drop of
ocean should be driedj up every thou
sand years, how ioaf4vould it be ere
the last drop would 4t$pp6ar and thc
ocean's beJ be leltlry and dusty7 Far
Onward as that would be in the com
ing ages, eternity, ould have but
commenced. It ha been said, sup
pose this vast globe upon which we
tread vere composed of particles of
thc finest sand, and that one part c!e
should disappear at the termination
of each million of j-ears. oh how in
conceivably immense would be the
period which mn?t elapse before theTi
last praticle wpuli be one ! And
yet,-' eternity would 4e in its inoruing
twilight. It has been said. . suppose
some little insect, so small as. to be
imperceptible to the bare eye, were to
carry this world by its tiny m.outhfuls
to the most distant star in the hea
vens. Hundreds of millions tf years
would be required for the single jour
csy. The insect commences on the
leaf of a tree and lakes its little load
so srn mat even me microfecope
cannot discover that it is gone, and
set out oa :.s almost endless Journey.
After millions and millions of years
diave rolled away it arrives back fur
its second load. Oh. what intermina
ble ages would elapse before the tree
would be removed I When would the
forest be gone? And the globe? Kven
then, eternity would not haTo onl
ine need. "
