The Warmth of a Word.
'Twos a day in the dead of winter,
And the echo of hurried feet
Struck sharp from the icy pavement
Of the pitiless city street
Each passer was loath to linger,
Though wrapped in a fur-clad fold;
For the air was a-tingle with frosty-flakes,
And the sky was benumbed with cold.
The clmeter wind, in its fury.
Bora down like a sleeping foe;
The tempest was waiting the onset,
And abroad were its scouts of snow.
Yet, mid3t it all, with his tatters
A-fUp in the whirling blast,
A child who seemed born of the winter
A creature of penury passed.
So tremulous were his accents,
Am he shivered and crouched and suog,
That the names of the mumbled papers .
Seemed frozen upon his tongue.
He paused for a bitter moment,
As a wondrously genial face
Arrested his voice and held him
With a pity that warmed the place.
'Have a paper?" The kind eyed glistened
As the stranger took the sheet,
And glanced at the stiffened fingers,
And thought of the icy feet.
Then dropped in his hand the value
Of his fifty papers sold ;
"Ah, poor little friend !" he faltered,
"Don't you shiver and ache with cold?"
The boy, with a gulp of gladness,
Sobbed out as he raised his eye
To the warmth of the face above him :
"I did, sir till you passed by !"

Sanitary Science.
Sanitary science, says the Sanitary
JNews, is a science that does not relate to
the earth we live on or to the heavens we
live under, but to the conditions of the
homes we live in. We can live on the
earth or under the heavens without know-
ins mucn aoout tnem, out to live oest in
our homes we must know them well
Geology cannot change the conditions of
the earth beneath us, or astronomy those
of the heavens above us, but sanitary sci
ence can change Irom unhealthy to health
the conditions of the homes we live in,
Is it not then a science worthy of study?
It touches the highest interests oi man
kind, cleanses and purifies the present gen
eration, and will strengthen and will glo
rify posterity. The effects of obedience of
its laws are not remote but immediate.
They touch the everyday life of all, and
enter into all the relations of life. They
give strength and vigor to whatever
capacity in which human endeavor is put
forth.

Anecdotes of the Rebellion.
Those sad years of fighting bad their
humorous incidents, and, indeed, one feels
almost like lamenting that so 'many good
stories must of necessity have been un
recorded. So much the poorer we. A
book of war anecdotes preserves the fol-
owing :
At a council of generals some one
remarked that Major was wounded
and would not be able to perform a duty
which it was proposed to assign him.
"Wounded !" exclaimed stonewalljack-
son, ''It that is really so, l think it must
have been by an accidental discharge, of
his duty."
"Joe," said a soldier to a comrade who
was reading the morning paper, vv nere
in the world is Statue quo t I see this
paper says our army is. still in Statue quo.''
JCUunno," replied be ? other, .- "reckon
she must be the east fork of the Chicka
morgy.".
While a certain regiment was in J? londa.
an Irishman belonging to it feigned illness
in order to escape his duty. . .Reporting
nimseli to the sergeant he was taken to
the doctor, and complained of a very
heavy lightness in his bead.
"Why," saia the doctor; "that is a
paradox."
(jriving the man a light dose oi ipecac,
he returned him to duty. Mike left the
tent in high dudgeon, exclaiming : "Con
found a doctor that will put a man on
duty with a paradox in his head!"
An ancient colored woman appeared
at the office of the Freedman's Bureau at
Chattanooga, and asked if that was the
place where freedmen's bureaus were
kept. The clerk was momentarily taken
aback, but recovering his gravity, replied
n the affirmative, Dinah, with an air of
mystery, and speaking in a confidential
whisper, said : -
"1 have come for my bureau j now give
me a pretty large one with a glass top.
I've got a washstand at home, but it's too
small to put my fixin s in. -
One day a lady called upon General
Bosecrans for the purpose of procuring a
pass ; her request was very politely de
nied. Tears came to her eyes as she
remarked that her uncle was very U and
might notTecover.
"1 am very sorry inaeca, maaam, re
plied the ere n era I. "My uncle has also
been indisposed tor some time. As soon
as Uncle Sam recovers a little, you shall
have a pass to go where you please.'
A squad of Indiana volunteers, out
scouting, came across a log cabin in the
mountains occupied by an old lady.
After the usual salutations, one of them
her :
'Are you a Sccesh ?"
"No," was the answer.
"Are you Union ?"
"No."
"What are you, then?"
"A Baptist, and always have been."
The Memoey op a Doa. A writer in
the Quarterly Review tells a good story
of a dog, whose memory many a woman
who periodically loses her pocket-book
or her umbrella, not to mention her muff,
would envy. The following, remarkable
at all events as a feat .of memory, was
told me by the owner of an Irish water
spaniel, the only dog I ever knew who
would perform tricks and was good to
shoot over at the same time. His master
was out walking with him at the begin
ning of the long fro9t in the year 1855,
which set in about the middle of January.
He went on a frozen mill dam, where the
water was of course very deep, and acci
dentally dropped his snuff-box through a
little round hole in the ice. The dog
was dreadfully distressed at not being able
to get it, but was obliged to go home with
its owner.who thought no more about the
matter. Two months afterward, when
the frost had gone, he and the dog passed
by the same place. The dog paused oppo
site the spot where the box disappeared,
seemed to think intently lor a minute,
then plunged in, dived to the bottom, and
returned with the snuff boxin his mouth.
"You'll have to pay half-fare for
that boy, madam," said a conductor.
"He is certainly over five years old."
"Indeed he isn't," ropiied the passenger.

Death and Immortality.
Letter of Archdeacon Farrar to the Daughter of
Charles Bradlaugh.
Archdeacon Farrar has addressed the
following letter to Mrs. Hypatia Brad
laugh Bonner in reply to a communica
tion which she had addressed him :
Dear Madam : I do not know a single
reasonably-educated Christian who takes
the mere symbols of Heaven for Heaven.
We do not suddoso that Heaven is a cubic
city, or a pagoda of jewels, or even an
endless seven-told chorus ot hallelujahs
and harping symphonies. Long ago a
Christian poet sang :
"Oh, for a deeper insight into Heaven ;
More knowledge of the glory and the joy
Which there unto the haoov soula is eivea :
For it is past belief that Christ hath died
Only that we eternal psalms might sing ;
That all the gain death's awful curtains hide
Is tbis eternity of antheming.
Ana mis praisea rest ; shall there be no en
deavor?" etc., etc.
If I could find a printed sermon of mine
entitled "What Heaven Is," you would
see that we regard it as a place of pro
gress, of fruition of all that is noble, of
growth and progress upwards atid on
wards, ot endless and beneficent activity,
of a love which knows no fear and no
hatred, of a growing more like to God,
because we shall see Him as He is. In
Browning's poems you will see this view
of Heaven constantly set forth, and the
eminent theologian Whichcot said two
centuries ago, "Heaven is a temper" I
have often quoted with approval the say
ing of Confucius, "Heaven means principle."
ine old detestable notions of happy
souls rejoicing over the torments of the
lost have long been exorcised, and if you
have time to glance at my "Eternal Hope,"
or "Mercy and Judgment, which now
represent the best opinions in the Church,
you will see many proofs that the Calvin-
istic horrors ot an unnatural theology
have been never authorized by many
men, even by greatest Christian Fathers
and canonized saints of the Mediaaval
Church.
Let me add I for one have not uttered
a syllable of disrespect about your father,
though I am a sincere and convinced be
liever. I only met him once, as chaplain
. -rr- i at .
oi tne nouse ot uommons, and we ex
changed a courteous greeting. Had I
been able to show him Christianity as I
see it, I do not think that he would have
wished to be counted among tho foes of
our Gospel if such was his attitude.
But Christianity has been more sorely
wounded in the house of its friends than
by its enemies F. W. Farrar in Pall
Mall Gazette.
Civility,
phrase that
The old
"civility costs
nothing," is, in one sense, a mistake.
for while the value of courtesy cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents, it is
often a severe tax upon patience and self.
control. But be the cost of politeness
what it may, it is an investment which
pays compound interest in self-respect,
personal di&nity, and business success.
A few years ago, two gentleman, one of
whom was a foreigner, visited the various
locomotive workshops of rhiladelphia.
They called first at the most prominent
works, expressed a wish to look through
the establishment, and made some inquiries
ot a technical character
They were shown through the premises
in a very indifferent manner, and no effort
was made to give information beyond the
briefest replies to their inquiries. Their
experience was similar at other large
establishments which they visited.
Finally they called at a shop, the owner
of" which was a workman of limited
means; but his sense of politeness
prompted him to enter into whatever
explanations he deemed of interest to the
strangers.
The gentlemen left him, not only favora
bly impressed toward him personally, but
feeling that he fully understood his busi
ness. Within a year he was surprised by
an invitation to St. Petersburg, and the
result was, his locomotive business was
transferred permanently to that city.
- The foreign visitor was an agent of the
Uzar.
The workman has recently returned
with a princely fortune ; and still receives
from his Eussian workshops a hundred
thousand dollars a year, havjng laid the
foundation ot a very large fortune
When Zachariah Fox, the great Liver-
pool merchant, was asked by what means
he contrived to realize so large a fortune,
he replied: "By one article alone, in
which thou, too, mayst deal if thou dost
choose civility."
The Stan berry Sentinel reports
that a question arose one day last week
between two Stanberry business men as to
whether or not a round quart cup made
square would hold less liquid than theori
ginal round measure. It took a practical
test to prove it, which test shows that
the round measure will held about one-
fifth more than the same measure squared.
Of course it always pays to do business on
the square except in a case of this kind.
When buying milk, cider, vinegar, etc.,
always see that the vender gives you
round measure instead of square.

The grand jury of United States Court,
who have for a day or two past been ex

will take chances of his life that it would
seem none but a crazy man would. He
takes no manner of care of his health.
When a long way from the camp or
ranch, he sleeps where night finds him on
the open prairie, with only the stars for
light. He bathes when he has time, eats
and drinks anything he can get,' and all
he can get. He can be depended upon
to do bis work well, be it at camp or
when driving in a big bunch of horses
from the ranges to the ranch. He is as
strong as an ox, has an unbounded love
for gay trappings, and is generally gay
and free from care. His chief character
istic is a profound contempt for the denizen
of the East, whom he calls a tenderfoot.
The cow-boy might not shine on Fifth
Avenue, but he is found just the proper
person for the ranch, and he is withal a

small, and are usually expended as the
first opportunity presents itself. He
thinks not of the morrow. He is a crea

or the bunch of horses on the prairies

Which was the Greater Battle? Gettys
burg and' Waterloo Compared. -At
Gettysburg there were present in
action 80,000 to 85,000 Union troops and
of the Confederates some 65,000. At
Waterloo there were 120,000 soldiers of
the allies under Wellington and Blubber,

UIU l&VVV 1'iCUUI 4.1 auwivvil , vr,
there were about 150.000 combatants at
Gettysburg and about 190,000 at Water
loo. In each case the weaker army made
the attack and was defeated. Lee did
not have to face such heavy odds as
Napoleon; but, whereas Napoleon's de-
teat was a rout in which ho lost an bis
guns and saw his soldiers' become a dis
organized rabble, Lee drew off his army
in good order,' his cannon uncaptured, and
the morale or bis formidable soldiers un
shaken. The defeated Confederates, lost
in killed and wounded 15,530, and in
captured 7,407, some of whom were like
wise wounded, or 23,000 in "all. The
defeated French lost from 25,000 to 30,000
probably nearer tho latter number.
The Uonlederates thus lost in killed and
wounded at least 25 per cent of their
force, and yet they preserved their artil
lery and their organization, while the
French suffered an even heavier , pro
portional loss and were turned into a
fleeing mob. ' V
Comparing the victors, we hnd that
the forces of the Allies at Waterloo con
sisted of several different kinds of troops,
and together with the losses can best be
E resented in tabulated torm. Wellington
ad under him 68,000 English, Germans
and Dutch Belgians, while Blucber had
52,000 Prussians.
Number. Killed and wounded. Missing.
British, 23.991 6,344 592
Germans, 23,886 4,006 ' 478
Belgians. 17,784 1,000 8,000
Prussians, 51,944 5,612 1,886
119,605 - 16,962 ' 5.456
The figures for the Dutch-Belgians,
who behaved very badly, are mere esti
mates; probably the missing numbered
more than 3,0Q0, and it is very unlikely
that the total killed and wounded went
as high as 1,000.
At .Gettysburg the Northerners lost
17,555 killed and wounded and 5,435
missing ; in other words, they sunered an
actually greater loss than the much
larger army of Wellington and Blucher;
relatively, it was half as great again,
being something like twenty-two per cent
in killed and wounded alone. This gives
some idea of the comparative obstinacy of
the fighting.
In making any comparison between the
two battles, it must of course be remem
bered that one occupied but a single day
and the other very nearly three ; and it
is bard to compare the severity of tho
8 tram of a long and very bloody, with
that caused by a short, and only less
bloody, battle.
Gettysburg consisted of a series of more
or less completely isolated conflicts ; but
owing to the loose way in which the
armies marched into action many of the
troops that did the heaviest fighting were
engaged for but a portion of the time.
The Second and Third Corps were proba
bly not heavily engaged tor a very much
longer period than the British regiments
at Waterloo.
Both were soldiers' rather than gen
erals' battles. Both were waged ' with
extraordinary courage and obstinacy and
at a fearful cost of life. Waterloo
was settled by a single desperate and
exhausting struggle; Gettysburg took
longer, was less decisive, and was rela
tively much more bloody. According to
Wellington the chief feature ot Waterloo
was the "hard pounding" ; and at Gettys
burg the pounding or, Grant called it,
the "hammering" was even harder.

The Garden of Eden.
The true site of the Garden of Eden has
been the subject of almost endless con
jecture. The three continents of the Old
World nave been gone over by theologians
in a vain search for its most probable loca
tion. From China to the Canary Islands,
from the Mountains of the Moon to tho
coast of the Baltic, each country has been
the subject of search, and no spot supposed
to correspond in the slightest degree to the
scriptural description of the first abode of
the human race has been left unexamined.
The most ancient opinion, which is given
by Josephus, is that it was in the country
which lies between the Ganges and tho
Nile. This view imagines Eden as being
a very widely extended territory, em
bracing all of the country from the Indus
on the east to the Nile on the west. As
the "Garden" is said to have been "to the
eastward in Eden,", it is placed definitely
in the valley of the Euphrates. Yon
Hammer, the famous Oriental scholar,
places Eden in Bactria ; others locate it in
Babylonia, at the confluence of the Lu

Why Manilla is Onx hat Bihind.
Manilla is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine Islands, I but,
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of its size in the word. This
curious fact is accounted for in this way :
Although the Philippine Islands lie
near
the Asiatic Coast, they were discovered
by Spaniards who sailed from America.

Sunday suddenly changes into Monday,
these fiery dons of proud Castilian ances

told of this years later; when informed
that their mode of reckoning time was
not up to modern notions,' they only said
that that was so much the worse for
modern notions; Anyhow,' the fact re
