It consisted A two walla of granite, perhaps twenty feet a height; meeting at an oblique angle, covered over their greater extent with wild vines. It atrock me aa an exctedingly beantifal nook, and ppnpriace for my hoars of oadoor loanginr. On the following morning, provided with a book and a cigar, I. went thither, and disposed myself oon fortably in the shade of an ohve, I bad become abaorbed in the vohnue.whtin I was startled by the sound of aTGice near me. It was evidently that of a ironun, wonderfully soft and sweet, and waa singing' one of the ballads of the ooantry. I could diatirjgniah the words as perfectly as if spoken at arm's len.gtb from me. I started up in giiazeiaent I had no rirutors, and my cniy servant was an old man. Nevertheless, I made a thorough exploration of the Beifiborhood, and satisfied myself th.t thei-e was no one in the grounds.

The minutest examiinrJon failed to reveal aiivthinir but the bare rock. Yet it waa

"What was it? I heard a voioe." "Yes," I answered, "you heard mine. I spoko to yoa." "Who are you?" asked the voice, tremulously, "Ara you a spirit ? " "I am a living man," I returned. " Onn yoa not fee me? " "So, aaswtired the voice, "I can only hear you. Oh, where are yon? Pray do not frighten me. Gome out of your place of concealment and let me see you.,f "Indeed, I don't wish to alarm you," I replied. "I am not bidden. I am standing directly in front of the spot whence your voice seems to come." "You are invisible," was the trembling answer. Tour voice comes to me out of the air. Holy Virgin I you must be a spirit What have I done to deserve thin?" " Have no fear of me, I entreat you," I said earnestly. "It is as much of a mystery to me as it is to -yon. I hear yon speak but you are likewise invisible. " " Are yon a real living being ?" asked the voice doubtfully. " Then why do I not see you? Come to me. I will sit here. I will not fly." " Tell me where I am to come," I said, " Here in my garden, in the arbor.' "There is no arbor here," I returned, "only a solid rock out of which yoa eem to be speaking." " Saints protect mo," answered the voice. "It is too awful. I dare not stayhere longer. Spirit or man, fare- " But you will come again," I pleaded."lint m hear you speak once more. Will yoa not be here at the same hour?" I dare not but yet your voice sounds as if you would do me no harm. Yes, I will come." Then there was utter silence, the mysterious speaker had gone. I returned

home in a state of stupid wonder, ques

tioning myself if I had lost my senses, and if the whole occurrence was not a

delusion. I was faithful to my appoint

stent wnn toe voice on tue following

morning, However, l ana waited, out a few moments, when the soft, trembling accents broke the silence, saying : "I am here,'" "And I, too," I answered; "I am grateful to you for coming," " I have not slept the whole night," said the voice. " I was so terrified. Am I doing wrong to come ?" "Are yoa still afraid of me?" " Not exactly, but it is so strange." " Will yon sell me your naue ?" "I dou't know Lenore. What is yours?" " George," I answered, imitating her example, and giving my first name only. " Shall -we be ttieuds, Lenore ?" "Oh, yes," answered the voice with a silvery peal oi laughter. Evidently its owner was getting over her fears. "Don't be offended, George. It is so strange two people who cannot sea each other and perhaps never will, making friend a. "X will soOve the mystery yet, Ijenore," I answered, " and find out what

yoa are. Would you be glad to see me

in my proper person t " Yes," was the reply, " I should like to see you." "And I would give a great deal to see yon, Lenore. You must be very beautiful if your face is like your voice." "Oh, hush" was the agitated answer, " It is not right to speak thus." "Why not? Do you know, Lenore, that if this goes on I shall be falling in love with you, though I never see you." "You are very audacious," was tha reply, ."If you were really here, before me, I should punish you for it, Asitia I am going now." " But you will come again to-morrow, Lenore "If you will promise to be more discreet, George, yes." As may be imagined, I did not fail to keep my engagement with my invisible friend. lor many consecutive days these strange meetings continued. As absurd as it may seem, i he voice was beginning to make a powerful impression upon me. I felt in its soft tones the manifestation of a sweet, refinod woman's soul. True, I havl made no progress toward unraveling the mystery. Nevertheless, I was confident that through some inexplicable dispensation of Providence I had been permitted to hold communion with a real, living, lovely woman, from an unknown distance. She had not yet told me more than her first name, and I did not press her for more as yet, Her only answer to my question as to where she waa was "In the garden." She did not seem capable of grasping the fact that I was not invisibly near her. She seemed content with matters as they stood, and for the present I could do no

.more.

I made no one my confidant as to my daily occupation; first, because I knew that I should be regarded as a madman npon my mere statement of the facts, and next, because I shrank from having an auditor at my mysterious conferences. Will it be believed? I waa in love with the invisible girlin love with a voice! Absurd, of course, but I am not the first man who has fallen in love with a woman's voicet , tfeside, I was confident that it was only a matter of time before I should see tbe girl in person. One day toward the end of summer, we had been talking as usual, and I had amid: "My stay in Italy is nearly over, Lenore." " Ah," was the quick reply, " you will leave me, George." "Xo, Lenore," I answered, "not if you wish me 1 stay." "How can I help it, George, whether yon go or stay? I have never seen you I never shall aoe you. What am I to you? " "All in the world, Lenore," I anawnred. "Ours has been a strange experience. Without knowing each other as people oitlicarily do, we have yet been close friends. You are more to me than any friend, for I love yon, Lenore." There was a quick, suppressed cry.no other reply. "Be truthful, Lenore. Tell me your heart If you love me, trust to me to discover your whereabouts and come to yon. If yoa do not, say it, and I will spare yoa the pain of meeting me, and let ns never speak again." There was a pause, then she tremulously said: "I have never seen you, but wy heart tells me to trust you. I know yon are good and noble, and I am willing to leave my Tate your sbands. Yes, George, I love you." Even as she said the words she uttered m cry ot alarm, Then a gruff man's voice spoke; "Goto your room, Lenore. As to this villain with whom yon have been holding thesH secret meetings, we shall soon find him and punish him as he deaerves. Searoh for the rascal, Antonio, kUkd fearmg liim to me."

There was a quick trampling of feet and the sound of crushing shrubbery, as if the men were breaking through it Then another man's voice spoke : "Ho has disappeared, your Excel, ioiine." " Very woll, we shall find him yet Ho cannot escape me. This is a fine piece of business, surely the daughter of Count Villani holding sncret meetings with soma common vagabond, Lenore shall take the veil" "Yes," I cried, "the bridnl veil, Count I shall pay my 'respects in per

son to-day." , Then, leaving them to get over their j astonishment as best they roiglit, I returned to the houeo in high Bpirits. The namo, Count Villani, had given me the clow to the whereabouts of Lenore. The dwelling of which I have spoken as situated across the plain and opposite the rock was the residence of Counn Villani. I had met the old gentleman in the city and formed a speaking acquaintance with him. As neither of us had mentioned our private affairs, I had no means of connecting his daughter with my invisible girl. That afternoon I presented myself to the Count, and, after amazing him with my story, which a few tests convinced him was true, formally proposed for his daughter's hand. As my wealth and booud position were well known, he offered no objections and his daughter was sent for. As she entered the room. I saw that my idea of her nal been less than true. I had never seen so lovely a woman, nor one who so perfectly embodied my highest conception of grace and bea-ity. Her dark eyes, still wet with tears, met mine inquiringly. "Lenore," said I, "I have come as I promised." "Georgej" she cried; with a radiant smile, "is it you?" "Are you disappointed?" I asked, "am I what you expected?" "You could not be more," she answMed naively, "you are no less." " Now that we-meet as solid and material beings," I continued, "are you willing to ratify the contract we made when we were only voices, Lenore ? Your father gives us permission." It may be supposed that I received a satisfactory answer, when the goodnatured Count found it discreet to turn away las eyes during my reception of it As to the strango circumstance which was the means of uniting us, a series of tests revealed a remarkable acoustic property in the rock, by which persons standing in certain positions with reference to it were able to hear each other with ease, more than a quarter of a mile apart It is a very matter-of-fact solution of the mystery, but Lenore and I are none the less grateful for the good offices of the rock. Yaluable Hints. When ice is required at night for a

sick person, break it into small pieces, and if it be scarce and care must be taken to prevent its melting, put into

a soup plate, cover witli aiioinor plate, and put between two feather pillows. Never wear a good woolen dress into the kitchen without the protection of a large apron.

Ho flannel that has not been carefully washed, and is not perfectly soft ana fleecy, should ever touch the skin of an infant We never had any patience with a mother or nurse who would stick pins carelessly into her dress, oollar, or ribbon, thereby inflicting painful wounds upon her innocent victim. Not a pin, excepting a safety pin, should be used about a chill, and when buttons will perform the offico of pins they should be made to do so. To mother, aunties, or sisters who do up the school luncheon for the youngsters : pray make it as attractive in ap pearauce as possible. There is truly nothing very attractive bout a thick piece of dry bread and butter and a cookie, all rolled in a piece of coarse brown paper, waslled down by a drink from the cup that "goes the rounds." Such a luncheon will often impair the appetite of a fastidious or delicate child, and he will go without rather than eat it A little care in the cutting of the bread ; the doing up of the cookies or crullers in tissue or white paper ; the sauce or custard put into a pretty onn, and all wrapped in a clean white napkin within a bright tin pail, or, better still, a pretty lunch basket, will, by the pleasure it gives the tihild, well repay the extra care and thought Iturat J'cu Yorker. Jlear-Sightedness. Education may create discomforts as well as secure great advantages. The German nation is threatened with a peculiar trouble of the eyes, as a penalty for reading badly printed books and for unwise methods of study. A careful investigation of the schools by competent physicians has revealed the unpleasant fact that near-sightedness is growing common, and may become universal. In children of five years and under, it was rarely found ;; the vision was quite perfect. In the lower schools, from fifteen to twenty per cent of the scholars were effected; in. the higher schools, from forty to fifty per cent In the theological department of the University, seventy per rant 'of the students were troubled; an2 in the medical department the misfortune was almost universal, only five, dm cent, not being thus afflicted. The physicians ascribe the difficulty to the practice of holding the books too near the eyes, and the practice is due in a large measure to the poor print of cheap books. The troubl'9 is iacrensing in our own country, and it might be wisa to have a similar examination of our own schools by skillful physicians, in order to call public attention to' the evil. Morgantown Prevt, A Beloved 'Little Sinner." Pope's "personality" may be descril-ed bv saying that no writer has a greater quantity of human nature in his composition; every line and word in bis best passages seems to vibrate with feeling, and has therefore a permanent vitality. Undoubtedly the feeling often conceals itself under loasks to which it has no right; vanity passes itself off for lofty independence, and mere personal spite righteous moral indignation. But the feeling, though affecting to be something better than it is, is still genuine feeling, and therefore appeels to our sympathies ; and, moreover, it is not intrinsically base. On tho contrary, Pope's impulses are so keen and vigorous, and spring from a nature with so much capacity for real offoction, that, in spite of ourselves, we have an affection for the warm-hearted, excitable, seuditivo, irritable and spiteful little rinner, nam wish to set down fiven liis rjis rather to the unfortunate incidents of bis position than to an essential baseness of the man hirawat.PaU MM Gazette.

niTT-THIJU) ABn tiafi-T DAT. As nauat, Oaiteau opened proceedings in court by announcing i "My at iter has been doing some sill; talk in Chicago. She mean well ; but she'a no lawyer," Judge Porter immediately resumed his argument, lidding from the evidence of J. W. Guitosu and commenting upon it, Judge Porter said of the prisoner : " Uu has two faces." Ouitean " How many have you got V Judge Porter" He has two faces ono showing tbe. sanctity of a Pharisee, and the other the hideous grin of the fiend that possesses him." As ho continued to revl from J. W. Guileau's tcdtimony, relative to his last interview with the prisoner, (Juitt-au continually interrupted witft such comments as: "What 1 say is alwuys true, Judge Porter. Wnat you say is generally lalst-.' Inever said so." " That is (vbsolutty false." Proceeding, Judge Porter contrasted the life, conduct and deceit! nl practices of the prisoner with Ihe Apostle Paul, in the light of the prisoners assumption that he, like Paul, was honestly engaged in doing the Lord's work. Paul never palmed off braes watches for gold, " Neither did I,'' spoko Quitean. "Paul never swindled his creditors out of tbeirjust dues." " Oh, you are a Uood man," retaliated Guiteau. "Xou belong to the Judas tribe." The picturo drawn by Judge Porter wits anything but a lovely one, and provoked the prisoner to tue most abusive retorts. "You're a liar, and yon know it ; 'and I tell you so to your face, Judge Porter !" he called out. As Judge Porter continued U,i arraignment of the prisoner, Guiteau winced and nervously twisted in his seat, and anally drowned the voice of Judge Porter, who gave way to his clamor. In savage tones he shouted : "A aunt from heaven couldn't stand tho abuse of 'iat man Porter, and I won't stand it. I will l-lieve my mind. The idea of thit man trying to make me out a lighting man, a man of bad character, and all that. It's a lie, and he knows it He's a liar, and I'll call him so." The interruptions of the prisoner grew in violence and frequency till, reinforced by an objection of Scoville, the clamor and dm for the moment resembled a small Babel. Scoviiie finally made himself heard and desired an exception noted to tho statement of tho construction put on the ovidouce by Judge Porter. A sharp disenssion ensued, during which the prisoner made himself heard from the dock, shouting : " It's an outrage lor thai man to be allowed to speak. Ho ought to Lie under arreet tor his insolence. It has been nothing but one stream of abuse from him all morning, it's enough to provoke a saint from heavin. It's a disgrace upon a court of justice." . . Judge Porter ' compared the prisoner to Wilkes Booth, and showed tho Utter to be almost a patriot compared with tho cowardly assassin now on trial. " For Booth was actuated by a mtstakou motive of patriotism, and was a man of manhood and manliness. But this sneaking, cowardly wretob, who could plan for his victim's death and his own safety at the same time, murdered his man for revenge and for notoriety." Guiteau" T shot my mtn in broad dayUghtahd don't you forget it, Porter." Pressing the assertion that Guiteau was actuated by revenge and a desire for notoriety. Judge Porter compared him to a noted orimtnal in Europe. "I don't recall his name," said Judge Porter, "but he said: 'I am tho ugliest man in Europe,' "I would rather be the ugliest man in Europe and have notoriety than remain in the ranks of mediocrity." For the next half Lour there was ono contiaual stream of interruptions and abuse from the prisoner. A ncore of times ho denounced Judge Purtor as a liar, varyiug the expressions as adjectives suggested themselves. His viudtcttvo disposition showed itself as never before, and lor once bis euuniug was merged into bis angry spito, and, as Judge Porter piled up an Ossa of invectives upon the Peliou of denunciation, the prisoner unwittingly emphasized and corroborated tho diagnosis of depravity and wicked-heart-ddness which couueei was, with such telling effect, pronouncing upon liiin. " You know that's all an absolute, desperate, wicked, devilish lie," finally shouted Guiteau, stammering with rage. Judge Porter, in closing, said : " Gentlemen, the time has conw when I must close. Tho Government lias presented its case before 5 on, and wo have endeavored to discharge our duty to the best ot our ability. His Honor has endeavored to discharge his. I know yon will be faithful to yonr oatbs and dincbarge yours. Bo discharge it that, by your action, at least, political assassination shall find no sanction to mako it a precedent hereafter. He who has ordained that human lite shall bo shielded by human law from human crime presides over your deliberations, and the vor-d-ct which shall be given or withheld to-div will bo recorded where we ail havo to appear. I trust that tho verdict will be prompt, that it will represent Ihe ma jesty of the law, your Integrity and tho honor of tbe country ; and that this trial, which has so deeply interested all the nations of the earth, may result iu a warning (to reach all lands) that pol.tical murder shall not be used as a means of promoting party ends or political revolutions. I trust also tbe time shall come in consequence of the attention that shall be called to the considerations growing out of this trial when, by an international arrangement between tbe various Governments, tbe law shall be so strengthened that political assassins shall find no refuge on the face of the earth." Judge Cox then proceeded to charge tho jury. Ho instructed them to pay no heed to tbo statt merits made1y the prisoner as to public sentiment iu fats case, the only question being that of guilt or innocence. Tbo jury spent thirty minutes in retching a verdict of guilty. The assassin passed tbe time in a small waiting romi, and predicted his acquittal. When brought back to the dock he showed unusual pallor, but no nervou'nODS. When the verdict was announced, he cried out: "My blood will le upon tbe heads of that Jury, and dm't you forget it" The audience fhouted itself hnarso in approval of the conviction. Mr. Bcovillo st once gave notice of a motion for a new trial. Guiteau said: "God will avenge this outrage." Judge Cor paid tho h'ghest compliment to the jivy. When the assassin was put in tho van tlie crowd hooted until he was out of sight.

wbnt effect the statements made bv Guiteau that the press and public were on bis" side had upon the jury, and answered : "They made

: no iruprpssion upon us. " We knew he was not ' teiling the truth any more than when he said

uc uau rcuuivcu a cueca lor w,uw. in conclusion, Longley said : " Guiteau's prophecies have not come out true. He said that, the Diity would clear him, if to do so would nocenritate the taking away of a jurymu. Wo all lived, and we didn't clear tiini. He wished for it, I have no doubt, but none ot, us died, although one or two of us were quite sick at timoiu" Mr. I.ongleyalso said that the jury were very tiled alter their ten weeks of seclusion without books, papers or company, and for his part ho didn't want another euoli trial. Interviews havo

! been had with other jurors, and they tell simi

lar stones. Ho- Mrs, Rstrfield Hrccired the New of the Vcrdtcl. A Cleveland da patch ttates that Mrs. Garfield and the dead President's aged mother were at home when tho first intimation came in tho sbapo of a dispatch f torn Capt. Henry at Washington. When a reporter called, three hours later, Mrs. Garfield was quite quiet and composed, but said that she had notlnug to say in tuo liue of comment for the public It is said that sho has read no report of the trial, and has kept the subject as much out of mind as possible. A Cleveland journal, one of whose editors called on Mrs. Unrfio'd after the receipt of the news, fays: "Tho liuding of 1110 jury was immediately teegraphed from Wnuington to the family of the dead President. The widow and the mother ot tbo illustrious victim had anticipated uo other resell. They could not bring themselves to believe tbat justice would fail to overtake tbo vila reptile whose infamous deed bad overwhelmed them with grief. But they are women whose hearts are too full of sorrow to havo room lor revengef ul feelings, and the news of the conviction of Guiteau conies to them rather as the vindication of natural jn itice than as tho avenring of personal wrongs. They do not see how the result of tbe trial could have tx-en different. They accept it aa a foregone conclusion and more important to the public, who will have other Presidents to guard and protect, than to themselves, whose great stay and reliance was so causelessly taken from them." How The Verdict Was Received. Tho verdict of the iury was received with trreat satisfaction throughout tho country. A salute of fifty guns was tired at Madison, Ind. fn Detroit, Mich,, when the audience in tho ouera-houfe applauded the verdict, ono fellow hissed and waa promptly thrown out of tbs house -'weU "pum-neiea for "his temerity. A London dispatch says that "all tlia newt-p.tiwrs not oniy express one opinion as to tuo justice of the verdict, but are certain it will be unanimously approved. Scoviiie says the result was no surprise to him after bo heard the charge of Judge Cox. John W. Guiteau still believes the assassin insane, but sees no escape fioni execution. The Assaawln laum Another Address. On tho day after his conviction Guiteau, the assassin, sent to the press another " address to the American people," iu which he arraigns the character of the jurors, especially charging that thoy were tiot "high-toned, Christian gontlcnien," and therefore '-did not appreciate the deaof inspiration'.'' Ho denies the authority of tho court which tried him. relies upon the Deity, tut, as usual, ' makes a demand for money. He looks for a reversal of the verdict by tbe court in banc Tho following is the closing portion of the assassin's blasphemous screed: .... - ' 1 ara (tod's man in this matter, just as truly as the despised Qallilocan was God's man. They said He was a blasphemer aud a glutton, otc, etc, and it seethed a small thing for His acquaintances to kill Him. But His death stirred me wrath of tbe Almighty, and He got

even with mem 101'iy ycto-s utter at tno uestruction of Jerusalem, A. 1). 70, and He will get even with the American people if a heir of my head is harmed. God will vindicate me, even if the nation rolls in blood. My physical death is nothing to me.

ApplsIisar for a Ssw Trial. Mr. Scoviiie appeared in the Criminal Court

I at Washington Jan. 28, and tiled papers ou

which he bases his motion for a now trial. F. H. Snyder and J. W. Guiteau made affidavits that a uowspaper was found in the room occupied by tlie jurors, on which five of them had wriiten their names. Mr. Scoviiie makes the points that tbo verdict was an uncertain one ; that the trial wai unlawfully extended into the December term of court, and that tho court had no jurisdiction of the cause. The five inrors whose signatures aro ailcced to

hive been found on a newspaper in the.r room

They are qnite indignant, and denounce the charges of improper conduct on the r part. Mr. Corkiiill remarked to a party of gentlemen that Guiteau will be executed not later than June 10. In the Criminal Court at Washington, on the 30th ult, District Attorney Corkhill asked Judge Cox to fix a cay for bearing tho arguments for a new trial of ivtiiteau. Mr. Scoiiile stated tbe lomora prevalent in rgard to newspaoers having been furnished tho jurors, and aslied that tbe latter be produced in court or their depositions bo taken by a commission. Friday, Feb. 8, was fixed for a further heariiti.-. A imminent man in Washington predicts that tho President will pardon the assassin on the cronnd of insanity.

Juror Jjongley'a Story. Longley, the fourth Juror impaneled, iu tolling tbe story of tbe verdict, said : " We were not long in getting our verdict ready. We were fifty minutes absent from the court-room, and half an hour of that timo was taken up iu reading the indictment. Wo took two ballots. On tbo first we stood eleven for conviction and one blank. That was cast by tbe German, who was a little doubtful on one point, aud wanted to lie instructed. He didn't understand the instructions as to the question of insanity tliorouKuly. It only took a moment to satisfy him, and then, when a ballot was taken, we were unanimous for conviction." Ho was asked if he had beard that the public were for a time fearful that ono of the jurors was going to hang tho jury. He said -. "Yes, I have heard that since 1 left the court-room. Wo thought outbcIvih, for a while that one man would stand cut against all tbo others, tut it was only for a tuuo Wo didn't oxpreRS anv opinions to each other during tbo time, but 1 "think we all knew pretty well abut the general feeling wts." being miked to give some idea in to how the events of tbe trial impressed tbo jury, parti ularly tho interruptions of Guiteau and tho speeches, bo said : " It was all very todious. There waa so much that was gone over and over again. Tho lawyers kept telling Uii, day after day, or things wo were llrort f bearing. Wo didn't mind CuiHwu's interruptions, and we understood Uiat Judge Cox wits giving him liberty bo as cot to havo another trial. As to tbe speeches, I think Judge Porter's impressed tlie jury the most, but thou none of the lawyers' speeches had any influence with us. Wo made up our minds Horn t lie evidence and from tbo itistmctions. Wo l.stenod to Scoviiie with interest; Ho did verv well, and stood up for Guiteau manfully : l.ut he couldn't make anytliing out of tho case. Judge Cox's instructions wereclear and to tho point. There was uo mistaking them." ongli-y was asktd what his personal opinion of Guiteau was. He replied : " I think ho is a fanatic, but be is moraiiy responsible for bis actions. 1 have known lots of people who wcro fanatics, and tiny imagined all sorts of strange thing . Hut tbey knew when they were doing what nns wrong, and were accountable for it. Wo beard a great deal about moral depravity during tbe trial and about illusions, I have met some wioked people, and they have had all sorts of illusions ; but if tbey killed a man I would have held thorn responsible, Guiteau may imagino things, but our instructions were, if wo thought be knew the nature of his act, to bring him in guilty nd wo did so," i"" Tae ssV.ed

THE FAMILY VOCTQR. Pood aud Dkibasr. It may be well to recollect that it is not tho quality so much as the quantity of food which laj's tho toundation every year of innumerable diseases and death. Let it be remembered, also, that men need a vtpety of food ; living on one or two kinds for a length of time will always undermine a healthy constitution. Milk only lias all tho elements f life; and an y other one kind of aliment, used indefinitely as to time, will aa certainly deteriorate the constitution, bodily and numtally. The popular notion that one or two kinds of food at a meal .is most wholesome, is wholly untrue. On the contrary, several kinds at a meal, other things being equal, aro jaore conducive to onr well-being. Quantity and not quality is the measure of health, Iall's Journal of Health. liMaiii-Pox.

The thirty establishments in the United Htates where vai.vine is taken, direct from thoroughly heilthy calves or young cattle afford an

The fat t of having been vaccinated years sk.ee does not afford proof of continued salety, and, white successful vaccination is not an infallible safeguard against small-pox, it renders its fatal termination, if contracted, highly improbable. Vaccination ghould be avoided when the syutcm is suffering from manifestation of a tendency to erysipelas or inilatnmaticn of any kind. As a rule, children while teething should not be vaccinated.

Four years since this paper recommended the use of bicarbonate of so in, that is the common cooking soda, for most kinds of burns. Kince then frcqnont experiments and observations, the opinions of physicians and the best m edical journals have more than confirmed all we then said. As burns and soilds are always liable to occur, and as this remedy, thougtt simple, has proved to bo extraordinarily useful, it should be- fixed in the mind of every one. The soda, and the carbonio acid so readily set at liberty 'from it, have untest hetic, an tiseptic and disinfecting properties all highly beneficial for burns. For slight burns cover all the injured parts with a layer of powdered soda. For diopor burns, bnt where the skin is not btoken," dip linen rags in a solution made by dissolving about one-third of at. ounce of the soda in a pint of water ; lay the rags on and keep them moist w.th the solution. For very severe burns, followed by suppuration (formation of pus), apply the rags in the same wily, keeping them moist ; bnt frequently exchange them when dry for fresh ones, and carefully wash off with tho st da solution any matter that has aeonid nlated underneath, so that it may not bo absorbed into and poison the blood. Leading European medical journals give numerous instances in whioh, by the above treatment, extensive burns of a very sovore character havo healed speedil r, leaving little scar. American Agriculturist. Emotional Qualities of the Voice. The following is a condensation of a lecture by Prof. Plumptre, of King's College: " We really in our speeches, m, indeed, in ordinary conversation, run up and down the musical scale without giving any heed to it not, it is true, with separate and full notes of song, bnt v. ith partially formed notes that melt oi slide, as it were, into one another, eithei ascending or descending in the musical scale." In theso words the great oratoi had well defined the nature of speech. The influence of the eloquence of Mr. Clndstono over his hearers is mainly tc be attributed to his magnificent delivery a ad cultivated voice, more, even, than to his profound knowledge, and the earnestness with which he pleads the particular cause before liim. Men speaking

under emotion always make a difference in the length of tho vowel, according to tlie depth of tlie emotion, and the real essence of language lies in the living uttonuice, a thought which can well be applied to the premier. The riiies and falls in the mnsiral scale are iuherent to uu.nu, aud every race on the earth indulge in t icm. Greek and Roman orators have warned their students against, monotony, I ut it was not till the 'wt century that speech was reduced to a system of notation, when Joshua Steele published a vfork on tho subject Tho author of this work, " Prosodia Itationalis," took down from tho lips of Garrick and other eminent actors their chief speeches, and reduced them to a regular musical notation. Of course, though every note was (here, they could not be reproduced with the same effect without tho natural gifts if the orator. There is a law of antithesis in speeiih. The passions Of love and hate, for instance, express themselves, t he former by notes high in tho musical .eiilo, the latter low. Almost every njieakcr speaks under a different emolion; and, in brief, opposite emotions nhould be taken in opposite keys and inlleotions. According to Darwin's work, "Emotions of Men and Animals, as Indicated by the Voice," the voice alters, -not only in resonance and quality, bnt in ritch. This modulation ltccoiues ex-

pressiva in the earliest period of life, and, is intimately related to vocal and iiishu- ; nieiit.il nuinic, and to muscular aetiou. : Darwiu Wlbtves that utterance was first ssociatvd with courtship, in its various 1 phases of endearment, rivalry nnd ; triumph ; and thought that the progeni- . t rs of man had tho power of utterance of musical tones even before that of ; articulate speech.

The Poor Sea Islander. " Here let me ask the sympathies of all people for the poor South Set. Islanders who tore held as degraded slaves on the Sandwich Islands. The other rfs can in some way be heard. The Chinese coolie are, perhaps, bettor off than they were in China ; anyway, they are able to take care of themselves, and they have more titan oeco thrown defiance in the face ol the Hawaiian Government. The Portugese hove a sort of Consul - iu Honolulu and also the Bishop of the Catholic Church to whom they can appeal in some respects; the Mexicans, and there are quite a number on the island now, have alto a Consul. I do not know how it is about the Norwegians ard others, bnt being white men they can probably bo heard. But no hearing can alleviate their galling servitude. Thoy may be imply counseled to obedience. It is different with the South 3ea Islanders. They have no Consul, nobody to represent them, and as ttiey are ignorant of both the Hawaiian and English languages, they are virtually deaf and dumb, and are driven about by signs, precisely like beastfi oi burden. In

their own islands they never labored be

yond nslnrjg and picking cocoannt enough to sustain life. They were free and independent men, subject alone to the cidl of their chief, When arriving

ou the plantations they find that they must work from daylight till dark and their food ia not fit for nogs. They are

a simple, child-uke race, and not being innrcd to hardship they find their chains

i cutting into them. The mortality

among them, both on th slaves while they are coming to the isknds and on the plantations, is frightful. They at times die off like sheep that have the rot. They are a sad sight as they arrive, and to see them with tin labels around their necks, and rural ers thereon to designate tbem, a they g along, dejected and aimless looking, is a sight that would move any heart (not hardened) with pity. "I will narrate a touching incident conneoted with one of thos poor creatures. He waa working- on one of toe other islands, got sick, and by some means came to Honolulu to go to the hospital. Tlie steamer o:a which he waa on board arrived in Hond.ulitonSimday, but the authorities took no stops to see into the case of the unfortunate South Sea Islander, aa people there are- very careful not to break the Sabbath. On Monday morning somebody made it his business to inform the authorities that there was a hospital patient on boaid nhe steamer, and when the proper authorities went on board they found tho poor South Sea Islander dead. He was literally murdered through carelessness, through inhuman and brutal neglect I was in Honolulu .t the time, and I only heard one man who denounced tl is merciless indifference, and that was Dr. Mcliibben, inn,, who did not hesitate to name

j. the brntality in its propeir t rms. But I

can not give you a perfect picture of the degradation that exists on the plr utations, and of the utterly wretched conditien of the serfs.

NoIwdy hod any pleasure, but everybody was tired and ill-tempered, and brought away a few ridiculous thing which they lid not want, and for which they had paid absurdly extravagant prices. Yet the fair yielded nearly forty thousand dollars, and the paper sardonically advises the managers of "Hospital Sunday" to engage a few princesses and duchesses to hold the plate, and to be sure and advertise freely. It might bo well to provide that nobody should be admitted to divine worship on that Bunday, who did not agree in advance to put a guinea an the plate. Bnt that ia probably needles.
