Pala and Pine.
Couldit thou, Great Fairy, give to me
.The instant’s wish, that l might see
Os all the earth’s that one dear sight
Known only in a dream’s delight,
I would, beneath some island steep,
In some remote and sun bright deep,
Bee high in heaven above me now
A palm tree wave ite rhythmic bought
And yet this old pine’s haughty crown,
Shaking its clouas of silver down,
Whispers me snatches of strange tunes
And murmur of those awful runes
Which tell by subtle spell, and power
Os secret sympathies, the hour
When far in the dark North the show
Among great bergs begins to blow.
Nay, thou sweet South of heats and balms.
Keep all thy proud and plumy palms,
Keep all thy fragrant flowery ease,
Thy purple skies, thy purple seas!
These boughs of .blessing shall not fail,
These voices singing in the gale,
The vigor of these mighty lines—
-1 will content me with my pines 1

A Brave Ensign.
When we are in earnest, really devoted to
what we are doing, we forget ourselves.
This it is that makes brave soldiers. It is the
same devotion that helps our brave firemen
to peril their lives to save those of others.
A brave young ensign during the great
Peninsula war, was observed wherever the
fight was thickest and strongest, to make his
way to the front, holding up the colors, and
to cheer the men by his wonderful daring
and courage. Hour after hour be stood his
ground, and while hundreds wore falling
around him, remained unhurt. At the end
of the engagement his superior officers said
to him: ‘ Carnegie, how did you manage to'
stand fire as you did? You should let some
of us into the secret; you were always to the
front, and yet you have not a scratch.
What’s the secret?” “It is the king’s secret,
sir, but you may know it better than I do,
for you have served him longer; I remem
bered who I was fighting for—my king—and
that gave me strength and courage so that I
did not think of myself.” Is that the way
you serve your King?
The Bible If ot Pessimistic.
The Bible teaches no Pessimism. It toler
ates none in Christian believers. Its record
of creation opens, “And God saw everything
that he had made and behold it was very
good.” It goes forward with the song. “The
Lord is eoori to all and his loving kindness is
over all his works.” It closes with a vision
into the New Jerusalem, where “God shall
wipe all tears from the eyes, and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ing, neither shall there be any more pain. ” It
utters no long-drawn sighs like Buadha and
Schopenhauer, that existence is an evil, be
cause it has longings that can never be satis
fied. It formulates no hard dogma, like John
Stuart Mill, that the Creator cannot be both
benevolent and omnipotent. Its tone never
sinks to the minor key when treat
ing of actual life on earth, like Pascal in his
“Thoughts on Religion, or Baxter and
Howe In their sermons on the decline of
£iety, or John Cotton and Cotton Mather
i tneir gloomy letters on the decay of Puri
tan zeal. The Bible gives striking portraits
of weak and nervous men, of men who look
instinctively on the dark side of life and
moan, like Jacob. “Few and evil have been
the years of my life.” and wail, like Solo
mon, after royal debauches, “All is vanity
and vexation of spirit.” But the broad
sweep of revelation is towards gladness and
praise. Its cheerful tone is inspiring: “O
that men would praise the Lord for his
goodness.” Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord. “Praise the Lord, Omy
soul.”—[Dr. Heman Lincoln.
CheerleMßMi of Isfldellly.
There is something very suggestive and in
structive in a remark attributed to the arch
infidel, Robert G. Ingersoll: “Life is very
sad to me; It is very pitiful; there isn’t much
to it ” Mr. Ingersoll’s experience as an in
fidel is not singular. Other noted infidels,
much more serious and profound, able to
disclose to others and enjoy themselves any
secret comforts there may lie bidden
in philosophic unbelief, if such there be,
have anticipated him and even
yet more bitterly bewailed the
calamity of human existence. As Mr.
Ingersoll only notoriously rehashes the
old infidel arguments and sneers, adding
absolutely nothing original, save it may be
the brilliant tinsel of a unique sarcasm, or a
jaunty blasphemy to point the inconsequent
logic of his predecessors and his own, it is
not to be expected that his occasional sober
confessions, such as the one quoted in this
article, should be very different from theirs.
- How Mr. Ingersoll’s lament resembles that of
his great French master and superior, Vol
taire, who said : “ The world abounds with
wonders, also with victims In man is more
wretchedness than in all other animals put
together. Man loves life, yet knows he must
die; spends his existence in diffusing the
miseries he has suffered, cutting the throate
of bis fellow-creatures for pay; cheating and
being cheated. The bulk of mankind are
nothing more than a crowd of wretches,
equally criminal, equally unfortunate.
I wish I had never been born.” To the
French sceptic “the cold and barren peaks”
were burdened with slaughter and crimsoned
with blood. To the philosophic Hume they
were shrouded in blackness and dark
ness. He s id: “When I look abroad on
every side I see dispute, contradiction and
distraction. When I turn my eye inward I
find nothing but doubt and Ignorance. I be
gin to fancy myself in a very deplorable con
dition, environed with darkness on every
side.” Yes, take soberest things the noted
infidels have said of life or of death, and
they are at once a comment upon what Mr.
Ingersoll has said, and a confirmation of his
judgment when the light of Revelation is not
permitted to illuminate the little valley
bounded by the else cold and barren peaks
of the two eternities.
But what is the testimony of those for
whom that light shines; for whom there
hang high above and casting light over
peaks and valley, a cross and suffering
saviour? One has said: “Yea, though I
walk through the valley and shadow of
death, I will fear no evil,(for thou art with
me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.”
Another has said: “For me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain. ” Such a one after, ‘ ‘Re
joinng in hope, patient in tribulation and
finishing his course with joy,” said: “I am
ready to be offered and the time of ray de
parture is at hand. Then after a sweet and J
collected retrospect upon a glorious and ‘
fruitful past, he anticipated in “the full aa
su ranee of faith,” beyond the peaks,
with tbe light of hope, “a
crown of riphteotwneaa” in the immediate
and blissful future. MiUiona holding hia
faith have confeeaed life a rich and blwned
opportunity and exit from it a coronation
and a joy Contrast life, Its significant,
dignity and joy in Christian experience with
the mystery, barrenness and gloom of it in
infidel confessions and lamentations and say
whic h is to be preferred. The apples of
Bodom do not grow on the tree of life, nor
among the leaves which are for the healing
of the nations. Judging Infidelity by ita
manifest fruite and by tbo bitter cwifeJions
of its wisest and best representatives the tree,
root, leaf, flower and fruit is only evil.—

Floating Festive Oysters.
Connecticut oysters, when brought
from their beds, in the salt waters of
Long Island Sound, are seldom sent to
market before they have been subject to
more or less manipulation. As soon as
possible after being gathered they are
deposited in shallow tide rivers, where
the water is more or less brackish, and
are left there from one to four days—the
time varying according to the tempera
ture of the season, the saltness of the
oystera and the freshening quality of the
water. <3enerally two tides are sufficient
for the two “good drinks” which oyster
men say they should always hsve. This
“floating,” aa it is called, results in
cleansing out and freshening the oysters
and increasing their bulk, or, as some
oystermen confidently assert, fattening
them. If the weather is warm they will
takea drink immediately if not disturbed,
but if tbp weather is cold they will wait
sometimes ten or twelve hours before
opening their valves.
Good fat oysters generally yield five
quarts of solid meat to the bushel, but
after floating two tides or more they will
yield six quarts to the bushel. After
they have been properly floated they are
taken from the shell, and as"soon as the
liquor is strained off they are washed in
cold water, and are then packed for mar
ket. In warm weather they are put into
the water with ice, and are also packed
with ice for shipping. Water increases
their bulk with absorption, and by mix
ing with the liquor on the surface of the
•ysters. The more salty the oys
ter the more water it absorbs. In
twelve hours one gallon of oysters, with
their juices strained out, will take in a
Sint of water, but when very salt and
ry they have been known to absorb a
pint in three hours.
Water always thickens the natural
juices that adhere to the surface of the
oysters and makes them slimy. If too
much water is added the oyster losses its
plumpness and firmness and becomes
watery and flabby. Oysters that have
been floated bear transportation in the
shell much better than when shipped
directly from their beds. Oysters, too,
that are taken from their shells and
packed in all their native juices spoil
much sooner than when their juices are
strained out and the meats washed in
fresh, cold water.
Long clams are not floated, but round
clams are. But both when shucked are
washed in fresh water. This cleanses
them of mud, sand and excess of salt,
increases their bulk and improves their
flavor. After washing they will keep
much longer without risk of spoiling. If
the salt is left in them aa they come front
their native beds their liquor will fer
ment and they will quickly spoil.
The Matter of Names and Title*.
The latest fad is for the woman to re
tain her family name after marriage in
stead of taking that of her husband.
Every woman has a perfect right to do
this if she wants to, because there is no
law compelling her to adopt that of the
man she marries. The style has been
started anew by some of the stronger
minded Englishwomen. This alone is
sufficient to make it the proper thing for
Anglo-Americans. In England, how
ever. it is neeesary for the women to ad
vertise the fact that she is going to re
tain her maiden name. In this country
a man may take his wife's name instead
of her taking his, but it would probably
be better to have the change legalized
by a court or Legislature in order to
prevent aoy trouble in relation to prop
erty or inheritances.
Wouldn’t it be better to call men and
women by their proper names. The
Quakers do so, and there is nothing
offensive nor suggestive of undue fami
liarity about it. They do so from prin
ciple rather than to be odd. They say:
“Call no man master.” Mister is but
another term for master, and was origi
nally used by common people when ad
dressing their superiors, or those whom
they served. As a people we are op
posed to titles suggestive of social rank.
Our form “Mrs.” is merely a form of the
English term Mistress, which was ana is
now an undesirable title when used in
certain connections. Usage has changed
this somewhat, yet it ia an unnecessary
prefix to the name of a lady. —Pittzburq

although having different names, is start-
Harch and April are fatal months, not
only for consumptives, but also for many
diseases more disguised bat none tbs len

Gov. Hoffman had heart disease. Gov.
Doreheimer, apparently a strong, well, robust
man, over six feet high, sickens and dies in
four days of pneumonia.
Chief Justice Waite meets the same fate
and he was apparently tbe personification of
vigor.
Drexel, the Philadelphia banker, and
Brewster, ex* Atty. Genl-, were suddenly cut
off in the midst of great usefulness, by
Bright’s dig ase. and Dr. Carpenter, the well
known New York physician, suddenly died
of Kidney disease, nerer having suspected
that he was at all troubled therewith!
This reminds us of the case of Dr. Frank
Hawthorn, of New Orleans. He was lectur
ing before the Ijouisiana university on the
peculiarly deceptive character of Kidney
disease and the methods of miscroscopical and
chemical tests.
After haring shown specimen after speci
men of diseased fluids, and made very clear
the point that kidney disease may exist with
out the knowledge or suspicion of tbe patient
or practitioner, with gracious self-confidence
he remarked: “Now, gentlemen, let me show
yon the healthy water of a strong, well man.”
He applies the test!
He staggers!
“Gentlemen, I have made a terrib'e dis
covery!” he gasps, “I myself have the fatal
Bright's disease!”
In less than a year this specialist of the
commonest and most fatal of diseases was
dead. He was a victim of advanced Kidney
disease, the presra' , e of which in himself he
had never sus(jected!
L. B. PRICE, M. D., a gentleman and physician of
the highest standing of llanover C*. H., Vs., font
years sgo, after try Inc every other remedy for
bright’* disease, including famous mineral water*,
enred him-eir by Werners Safe C’ore.and March
24, 1858, wrote: “1 have never had the slightest
symptoms of my old and fearful trouble.”
MR. JOHN DOHERTY, of C’occord, N. n., was

using and being cared in 1881 by Warner’s Safe

Warner s Safe Core abundantly and regnlarly,
until fully restored to health, and now he saye
" After a lapse of many years I am as sound a* a

owe my life to Warner’s Safe Care
Kidney disease is the most deceptive, the
most universal, tbe most fatal disease.
If the most learned men cannot know with
out the use ot microscopical and chemical
tests that they have kidney disease, how much
more liable is the layman to be. unknown to
himself, in the very jaws of death, who does
not feel as well as formerly, bat who does
not think anything specially ails him, and
whose physi ian may assure him that be will
soon be ‘all right”
In these days people recognize that it is
wiser to prevent disease than to await its
arrival to cure it When you know that
you may be in the greatest peril and not have
any idea of tbe fact from any defined set of
ill feelings, the wisest course to pursue is to
follow tbe counsel and experience above out
lined . and thoroughly renovate the system,
cleanse the blood, tone the nerves and insure
ycur own li r e against these common, mys
terious fatalities.
The Saloon.
The saloon has few friends—none to be
croud of. There is nobody, whose presence
is not a menace to the community, who
would not like to see the saloon go, and go to
stay. It has been a law breaker. It has been
a place that has thrived either on the wicked
ness or vice of humanity. It has not given
value received. It has been tbe rendezvous
of the criminal, the friend of no one but the
poor-house and the prison. If all this was
not enough to condemn it and to secure sen
tence of punishment, then let it be remem
bered that the saloon has not the decency of
conscious indecency. It thrust itself forward,
and, a law breaker itself, sought to dictate
legislation. The foe of good government, it
brought its stench and its ill-gotten pelf into
politics, and actually commanded all parties
to do obeisance to it. It forced the issue. In
its foolhardiness it left the choice between
ite supremacy and extinction. If it had pos
sessed the modesty even of half common
sense, it might have lingered in lowa for
some years yet It was as impudent as vile,
and now it has gotten it in tbe neck, and
good enough for it Even its victims are
glad to hear the door of tbe saloon go shut
with a vigorous bang. Those, too, who
served it in fear, laugh at hia calamity. Tbe
friends of the saloon—who are they anyhow?

Drink Legislation In Austria.
The Austrian Government have,it is stated,
introduced into the Reichsrath a strong
measure for tbe prevention of drunkenness.
The reason alleged is the alarming deteriora
tion in the physique of young men enrolled for
military service, owing to the spread of
spirit drink among the humbler classes It
will be interesting*© see if the provisions of
this measure are accepted. They would be
difficult to carry in this country, where free
dom even to get drunk is still jealously
guarded. Spirit shops are to be closed at
five on Saturday afternoon, and to remain so
till five on Monday morning. Ordinary
storekeepers are not to be allowed to sell
spirits, tbe sale of which is to be restricted to
public houses, confectioners and specially
licensed stores. Dealers serving spirits to in
toxicated persons are to be liable to arrest or
fine. No debt for spirits consumed on the
premises can be recovered by law if the
amount exceeds the value of five liters. Tbe
magistrates are empowered to forbid retailers
to sell spirits to habitual drunkards for any
period up to twelve months. Similar legis
lation already exists in Galicia. The pro
posal now is to extend it to all Austria.
