Milk that is heated to much above 100 decrees Fahrenheit loses for the time a degree of us sweetness ana its density; bat no one fatigued by over exertion of body and mind, who has ever experienced the reviv ing influence of a tumbler of this bever age, heated as hot as it can be sipped, will willingly forego a resort to it because of its having been rendered somewhat less acceptable to the palate. The promptness with which its cordial influence is lelt is indeed surprising. Some portions of it seem to be digested and appropriated almost immediately ; and many who fancy iney need aicononc stimulants when ex hausted by labor of brain or body will find in this simple draught an equivalent that shall be abundantly satisfying and more enduring in its effects.

They eat alone by the bright wood fire, The gray-haired dame and the aged sire, Dreaming of days gone by ; The tear-drops fell on each wrinkled cheek, They both had thoughts they could not speak, And each beait uttered a sigh. For their sad and tearful eyes described Three little chairs placed side by side Against the sitting-room wall, Old-fashioned enough as there they stood, Their seats of flag and their frames of woo ', With their backs so straight and tall. Then the sire shook his silvery head, And with trembling voice, he gently said, "Mother, those empty chairs ! They bring us such sad thoughts to-night We'll put them forever out of sight In the small, dark room up-stairs." But she answered, "Father, no ; not yet ; For I look at them and forget Thatf the children are away ; The boys come back, and our Mary, too. With her apron on of checkered blue, And sit there every day. "Johnny still whittles a ship's tall masts, And Willie his leaden bullets casts. While Mary her patchwork sews ; At evening the three childish prayers Go up to God from these little chairs So softly that no one knows. "Johnny comes back from the billow deep ; Willie wakes from the battle-field sleep To say 'good-night' to me ; Mary's a wife and mother no more, But a tired child whose play-time's o'er, And comes to rest at my knee. "So let them stand there, though empty now, And eveiy time when alone we bow At the Father's throne to pray, We'll ask to meet the children above In our Saviour's home of rest and love, Where no child goeth away." m 1 m Tidy Surroundings. The farmer who has a neat, well kept yard and surroundings, is almost sure to have a neat and well kept farm, a com fortable and well provided-for home and a wife who takes pride in her home and her husband, and tries to keep both up to a first class standard for such things. If there is tidyness out of doors there is apt to be the same indoors, and vice versa. It does not matter materially whether the occupants own the farm or not, the sur roundings should always be neat and at tractive. It has a money value, because a pleasing eesthetical effect promotes health, increases happiness, and prolongs life. Keep the home surroundings, tidy, then, because it will do you good and is profitable. Don't have one or two grand cleanings up in the course of a year for the sake of chance company, but keep things spick and span all the time for the sake of those who are there every day to see it and enjoy it. The busiest farmer can find time for this, and the hours thus spent will be a recreation to him. Attend to it at stated times, say once a month certainly, and oftener if you find this will not do. By being careful in this thing yourself you make your children and do mestics so, and thus all will come to work together, and you will find it easy to keep everything in attractive order. A dirty home is a nuisance that ought not to be tolerated in any community. All should try to be neat for the sake of neatness, if for nothing else, iveep your nome sur roundings tidy. IF The troubles of life are sometimes but imaginary, and could be thrown aside to the mutual benefit ol all. ihrow them away, and keep your eye on the star of hope.

I "Once she was 'Motherland then it was 'Mother, I'm hungry 'Mother mend my jacket,' and 'Mother' with her loving hands would spread the Dread and butter, and stow away the luncheon and sew on the great patch, her heart brimming . with affection for the imperious little curly pate that made her so many steps, and nearly distracted her with his boisterous mirth. "Now she is the 'Old Woman :' but she did not think it would ever come to that. She looked on through the future years and saw her boy to manhood grown; and he stood transfigured in the light of her own beautiful love. Never was there a more noble son than he honored of the world, the staff of her declining years. Aye, he was her support even then, but she did not know it. She never realized that he was her little boy that gave her strength for tdaily toil; that his slender form was all that upheld her over the brink of a dark despair. She only knew how she loved the child, and felt that amid the mists of age his love would bear her gently through its infirmities to the dark hall leading to the life beyond. But the son has forgotten the mother's tender ministrations now. Adrift from the moor ings of home, he is cold, selfish, heartless, and 'Mother' has no sacred meaning to the prodigal, bhe is the 'Old Woman' wrink led, gray, lame and blind. Pity her, O grave, and dry those tears that roll down her furrowed cheeks ! Have compassion on her sensitive heart, and offer it thy quiet rest, that it may forget how much it longed to be 'Dear Mother' to the boy it nourished through a careless child hood, but who in return for all this wealth of tenderness has only given back reproach." Now hear the experience of one who knew and felt the power of maternal love and a mother's prayers. "When I was a little child, said a good old man, "my mother used to bid me kneel down beside her and placed her hand upon my head, while she prayed. Ere I was old enough to know her worth she died, and I was left to my own guidance. Like others I was inclined to evil passions, but often felt myself checked, and, as it were, drawn back by a soft hand upon my head. When a young man I traveled in foreign lands, and was exposed to many temptations; but when I would have yielded that same hand was upon my head, and I was saved. I seemed to feel its pressure as in the days of my happy infancy ; and, sometimes there came with it a voice in my heart a voice that must be obeyed "Oh, do not this wickedness, my son, nor sin against thy God." . Jfarasites of the Fly. A microscopical discovery, which may prove highly important in a sanitary point of view, has been made by Thomas Taylor, M. D., microscopist ot the Department of Agriculture. About a year ago, while dissecting out the proboscis of a common house-fly, Dr. Taylor discovered minute snake-like animals moving quickly from the proboscis. Continuing his experi ments from time to time since then, he found that house flies are very frequently iuhabited by these animals. He has found them generally in the proboscis of the fly, although sometimes they are found in the abdomen, and he thinks that since flies are carriers of these minute snake-like animals, they may in like manner be con veyers of contagious germs, much smaller bodies. These animals measure about eight one-hundreths to one-tenth of an inch in length, and about two one-thousandths of an inch in diameter. They are classed under the Nenxatoidoe, genus Anguilula. They are much larger than trichinae or so called vinegar eels. Mr. Taylor has found as many as seven of these animals in the proboscis of one fly, and three more in the abdomen, ten in all. Sometimes none are discovered, sometimes one only, but fre quently four are seen. Their presence is usually indicated by a rolling movement in the anterior portion of the proboscis, When this is observed, if a drop of water be placed upon it, the animals will readily leave the proboscis and take tojthe water. They are frequently observed passing in and out of the proboscis, to and from the water, as if the proboscis was their natural home. A power of 25 diameters is suffi cient to observe their general movements, but for examinations of their structure from 250 to 500 diameters is necessary. They are perceptible to the naked eye in certain herht. Mr. Tavlor proposes to make the experiment of feeding flies on trichinosed meat to test the possibility of tricninse or ine eggs oi iricmnre Deing taken up by flies. Dangers of Running Upstairs A New York physician thinks there is a connection between nastily ascending stairs and heart disease. He says: "The greatest care is necessary in this matter for people with any heart trouble, either latent or developed. There certainly are among our business and professional men many afflicted with some form of heart trouble which has often been induced by severe attacks of rheumatism or kidney disease. I have not known a case o heart disease which was attributable alone to ascending stairs. Of course, the first effect of running or rapidly ascending is shortness of breath. That means that the legs and arms are moving quickly, while the motion of the heart, not having caught up, is slower. So a load of blood from the limbs is suddenly thrown upon the heart before it begins to move rapidly enough to dispose of it. This undue bur den suddenly put on the heart, and- the temporary congestion in the lungs, cause imperfect action on their part, and we ex perience what is known as shortness o: breath. This is what every one has felt after running up stairs to catch a train, But if the heart is perfectly sound, this exertion will not cause disease. But per sons with weak hearts should go very carefully." Mill EST Just censure is without avail, un less love shall temper the reproof and soften the hearer's heart. Then the offender becomes a penitent, and the "son of repentance" becomes a chiid o God. Inventors of Fishing-Taekle. Though history indicates the Basaues or Biscayans, as the first civilized race that equipped vessels for whaling, it re mained ior ine uutcn to perfect the har poon, the reel, the line and the spear, as wen as ine an ot using them ; and with them originated the system of rewarding the officers and crewB employed in the pursuit of the whale, not with direct wages, but with shares and "lays," as tney are tecnnicaiiy termed, in the spoils of the game, proportioned to skill and ex perience. The Biscay ans at first con tented themselves with seeking whales in the adjacent seas ; but as the persecuted animals grew scarcer, the boldest of them sailed north and Bought them in their own icy homes. But gradually the Bis cayans abandoned the pursuit. In 1735 they only sent out ten or twelve vessels. and nine years later, in 1744, abandoned altogether this branch of commerce, which they had been first to open. But "the Dutch turned the fishery to good acoount, ana as early as 1580 had 260 ships and 40,000 sailors engaged .in it. They even ounded a fashing settlement called S wee- en burg, on the coaBt of Spitzenbergen. within eleven degrees of the north pole. and took whales in such an abundance in its vicinity that ships were sent out in ballast to bring home the surplus oil and bone above the whaling vessel. The whales, thus vigorously attacked, again changed their lurking-place, and Spits bergen was abandoned by the fisherman, so that the very site of Sweerenburgh is unknown, lhe plain harpoon employed by the early Dutch whalers is still in use. Ihere have been various modifications in its form, such as harpoons with one fluke, those with joints, others barbed, etc., but all these, after having had their day, have given way to the plain, primitive Dutch weapon. Ihere have been curious ma chines constructed for shooting whales, and contrivances to blow the animal up, and more recent attempts have been made to conquer him with an electric shock ; but nothing yet has been fabricated that is at all comparable to a pair of nervous and dexterous arms, more especially if united to a stout heart. The difficulty seems to be in constructing a torpedo of sufficient force that will not incumber the boat by its size and weight. Mysteries of bleep. I have often wondered concerning the mysteries of sleep. If you have watched any one slumbering, you muBt have felt that there is something absent which is there when the sleeper is awake. Thought in a moment can fly to the other end of the earth. A woman born and bred in Australia, being in London, can constant- y conjure up the homestead. Why, then, shall not the soul be able, when the body sleeps, to go who knows whither ? Sometimes, when we wake, for some moments we appear to be struggling with something, and then suddenly, we areetill again. Where are the souls of the mad ? The soul being a perfect existence, if it were with the mad, then its perfection would overcome the madness. A man who has never known any impurity of thought be comes mad, and his fancies are in the last degree terrible."" Can the soul, which guided him when sane, be still with him when ne nas Decome sometning worse than a brute? Who knows ? who knows? Mohammed, wishing to illustrate the wonders of sleep, told how a certain man, being a sheik, found himself, for his pride. made a poor fisherman ; that he lived as one for sixty years, bringing up a family and working hard : and how, -upon wak ing up from this long dream, so short a time bad he been asleep, that the narrow necked gourd-bottle failed with water, which he knew he overturned as he fell asleep, had not had time in which to empty itself. now is it tnai sometimes, wnen we. go to a strange place, we fancy that we have seen it before ? Is it possible that when one has been asleep the soul has floated away, seen the place, and has that memo ry of it which so surprises us ? In a word, how far dual is the life of a man ? how far not ? Learning to Swim. As the human frame, bulk for bulk, is lighter than water, all that is needful to save life is to permit the body to sink unti it shall displace as much water as equals the body's weight. Then padle gently as the lower animals do, with hands and feet the nead being neia erect, wherever it is desired to go. This direction being car ried out is absolutely all that is needfu under ordinary conditions to preserve life These few directions ought to be stuck up in every bathing place every bathing and skating place. Children in every instance ought to be made to tread water, from their earliest age, say in shallow slate baths with blood warm water, or when convenient and suitable, in some river,pond, or in the open sea. A leather belt with ring, and a stout rod with line and hook are employed by Portuguese mothers to instruct their cbil dren. The mother, rod in hand, stands on the brink. The child learns in the water. In Paris swimming schools the same pro cedure is resorted to. The buisness cannot be begun too soon. I saw mere infants sus taining themselves perfectly in the tepid waterB of Africa, Treading water is far safer than swimming in a broken sea. Ev ery adult,man or woman,who has not prac ticed it, should begin. Once the convic tion instilled that the body is lighter than water, the risk of drowning is reduced to zero. The process involves no uncertainty, no delay. Very different from swimming, it can be acquired at once. Nature. t j JST" One Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. B. preached from the text, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ?" In the congre gation there was an engine-driver, named Saul, who was accompanied by his wife and little girl. The reverend gentleman repeated the text several times: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" At last the daughter of Saul, thinking the text had a personal application, looked up into the face of her father and said : "Don't mind him, father; ho has been drinking Andrew Jackson's Debut as a Lawyer.

Meliqxous Herald. i i Alcohol from Acorns. It is said that alcohol equal to that made from grain can be produced from acorns. The acorns are freed from the sneii ana grouna nneiy ; then they are mashed with malt, and allowed to ferment. Acorns contain about 20 per cent of starch, and eighteen -per cent of gluten. They would be a valuable article for hu - man food if it were not for the tannic acid (about 3 per cent) which they contain. Vast quantities which go to waste every year, where hogs are not fed in the woods, might be gathered by boys, and converted into alcohol for use in the arts, thus free- in y an enmvalent amonnt of crrain for nsn C3 X fy as food.

The Bank of England covers nearly five acres, acd includes most of a parish, with the church yard now known in bank par lance as "the Garden," and a very neat little garden it is. Long after it had ceased to be a burial ground, an ancient servant of the bank, of amazing stature, was buried there for safe keeping by the request of his friends, who feared that some enter prising museum would go for his skeleton. The bank occupies the site also of the house and garden of Mr. Houblon, its first gov- er"r auuZlm2rrv?;j tTTul TT . r 1 1 . wu"BO ""T wtMiwiy us.BuuUW uuiu um- estates he bought near London.

It is the nature of seed to propagate itself, and spread its virtue into branches and fruit. It will be aspiring to that perfec tion which nature hath allotted to it. If you do not grow, it is a sign there is no life in you. It is but a common gift or a common grace at best ; the counterfeit,not the reality, of the new creature. Living natures do thrive ; pieces of art stand at a stay. He is no member of Christ, but as a wooden leg or arm ; not knit by any vitai oann, oat some exsnnsio ligaments ; not fed with the increases of God, beoause he doth cot grow. To content ourselves witn a tow aegree oi grace, makes us un- 1 worthy of the benefit of regeneration, and below those that pretend to a likeness to I God. 8. Chamock. The Devil in Tattling.
