SPRING SYMPHONIES. Old German Love Song. Since creation I was I Line; Now forever thou art mine. I have shut thee fast In n.y heart at last. I have dropped the key In an unknown sea. Forever must thou my prisoner be! — Helen 8. Conant, in liar per’ s Magazine for April Fate. Sorrow knocked ; 1 barred my door. “ Go,” I cried, “ and come no more; I have guests who gay and sweet, Cannot bear thy face to meet.” But ere long from every room Vanished light and warmth and bloom ; Hope and Joy and young lovo went, And, late lingering, sweet content. Then my door I opened wide; “ Sorrow, haste to come,” I cried ; “ Welcome now. no more to roam ; Make henceforth hiy heart thy home.” —Lvella Clark, in Atlantic Monthly for April. Like the Gold Ground. Like the gold around of Fra Angelico, Not bright, but clear and pure, whereon go flying The music-making angels to and fro, More fair for all the glory underlying ; Whereon all shapes of heaven and earth but seem To float aud float, not real, save as they cover But for a time the ever-during gleam, As clouds lietwecn us and the suuiight hover ; So shines thy love within the silent room Of my still heart; no shines my love for thee, Making a golden light within the gloom Of all the time and spaco between that be. While all things else thereon like shadows pass and glide, Drawing therefrom alone their beauty or their pride. —A nna C. Brackett, in Harper '* Magazine for April. Kaater Kggs.

THE TWO NEPHEWS.

At the parlor window of a pretty villa, near Walton-on-Thami s, sat, one evening at dußk, an old man and young woman. The age of the man might be some 70 years, while his companion had certainly not reached 19. ‘ Her beautiful, blooming face and active, light and upright figure were in strong contrast with the worn countenance and bent frame of the old man, but in his eye and in tha corners of his mouth were indications of a gay self-confidence which ago and Buffering had dampened but not extingniohed, ‘‘No use looking any more, Marv ” said lie; “ neither John Meade nor Peter i’ inch will bo here before d irk Very hard that, when a sick uncle asks his two nephews to come and seo him they can t come at once.

“ Ah, there it is,” said Mr. Collett. “What business has a poor devil of an artist to fall in love with my ward ? And what business has mp ward to faß in love with a poor devil of an artist?'vßut that’s Fred Sutton's daughter all ov?r. Haven’t I two nephews ?

Peter Finch willo4 e in, his carriage and. f plash The naran interrupted by axing at the gate, and Mr. Pete* Finch was announced. He had scarcely taken his seat when another pull at the bell was heard, and Mr. John Meade was announced. Mr. Collett eyed his two nephews with a queer sort of smile, while they made speeches expressive of sorrow at the nature of their visit. At last, stopping them, he said: “ Enough, boys, enough 1” said he. ‘ ‘ Let us find some better subject to discuss than the state of an old man’s health. I want to know a little more about you both. I haven’t seen much of you up to the present time, and for anything I know you may be rognes or fools. ” John Meade seemed rather to wince under this address, but Peter Finch sat calm and confident. “To put a case, now,” said Mr. Collett, “this morning a poor wretch of a gardener came begging here. He could get no work, and said he was starving. Well, I knew something about the fellow, and I believe he only told the truth; so I gave him a shilling to get rid of him. Now I’m afraid I did wrong. What reason had I for giving him a shilling ? What claim bad he on me ? What claim had he on anybody? The value of his labor on the market is all that a workingman has a right to; and, when his labor is of no value, why, then he must go to the devil, or whatever else he can—eh, Peter? That’s my-philoso-phy; what do you think?” “I quite agree with you, sir,” said Mr. Finch; “pefeotly agree with you. The value of their labor in the market is all that laborers can pretend to—all that they should have. Nothirig acts m«re perniciously than the absurd, extraneous support called charity. ” “ Hear, hear!” said Mr. Collett. “ You’re a very clever fellow, Peter. Go on, my dear boy, go on.” “ What results from charitable aid ?” continued Peter. “ The value of labor is kept on an unnatural level. State charity is State robbery, private charity is public wrong. ” “ That’s it, Peter I” said Mr. Collett. “ What do you think of our philosophy, John?” “I don’t like it—l don’t believe it!” said John. “ You were quite right to give the man a shilling. I’d have given him a shilling myself.” “Oh, yon would, would yon?” said Mr. Collett. “You’re very generous with your shillings. Would you fly in the face of all orthodox political economy, you vandal ?” “Yes,” said John; “as the vandals flew in the face of Rome and destroyed what had become a falsehood and a nuisance.” “Poor John !” said Mr. Collett, “we shall never make anything of him, Peter. Really, we’d better talk of something else. John, tell us all about the last new novel. ” They conversed on various topics until the arrival of the invalid’s early bedtime parted uncle and nephews for the night. Mary Sutton seized ape opportunity the next morning before breakfast to speak to John Meade alone. “ John,” said she, “do think more of your own interest—of onr interest. What occasion for you to bo so violent Jaet night anl to contradict Mr. Co 1 left so shockingly ? I saw Peter Finch laughing to himself, John; you must be more careful or we shall never bo married.”

“ Well, Mary,' dear, I’ll do my best,” said John. “It was that confounded Peter, with his chain of iron maxims, that made me fly ou*. I’m not an iceberg, Mary.” “ Thank Heaven, you’re not!” said Mary; “ but an iceberg floats—think of that, John. Remember, every time you offend Mr. Collett, you please Mr. Finch.” “So I do,” said John. “Yes, I’U surely remember that.” “If you would only try to be a little mean and hard-hearted,” said Marv; “just a little to begin with. You would only stoop to conquer, John, and you deserve to conquer. ” I “ May I gain my deserts, then,” said John. “Are you not to be my loviDg wife, Mary ? Are you not to* sit at needle-work in my studio while I paint my great historical picture ? How can this come to pass if Mr. Collett will do nothing for us?” “ Ah, how, indeed ?” said Mary. “ But here’s our friend Peter Finely coming through the gate from his walk. I leave you together.” And, so saying, she withdrew, “What, Meade,” said Peter Finch, as he entered, “skulking in-doors on a fine morning like this ? I’ve been all through the village—not an ugly place—but wants looking after sadly—roads shamefully muddy; pigs allowed to walk on the foot-path !” “Dreadful!” exclaimed John. “ I say, you came out pretty strong last night,” said Peter. “ You*quite defied the old man ! I like your spirit.” '* I have no doubt you do,” thought John.

“ Oh, when I was a youth I was a little that way mfSalf,” said Peter. “ but the world - —the world, my dear sirs soon j cures us of all romantic notions. I rogret, of course, to see poor people miserable ; but what's the use of regretting? It’s no part of the business if tlie super or classes to interfere with the la vs of supply and demand ; poor people must be miserable. Wlmt 'han’t be cured must be endured. ’ “T-iat is to say,” returned John, “ wha 1 . we c m’t cure they mu&t endure. ” “Exactly so,” said Peter. Mr. Collett this day was too ill to leave his bed. About noon he requested to see his nephews in his bedroom. They found him propped up by pillows, looking very weak, but in good spirits as usual.

“Well, boys,” said he, “here I am, you see ; brought to anchor at last! The doctor will be here soon, I suppose, to shake his head and wiite recipes. Humbug, my boys I Patients can do as much for themselves, I believe, as doctors can do for them; they’re all in the dark together—the only difference is that the patients grope in English and the doctors grope in Latin.” “You are too skeptical, sir,” said John Meade. “ Pooh !” said Mr. Collett. “Let us change the subject. I want your advice, Peter and John, on matters that concern your interests. I am. going to make my will to-day, and I don’t know liow to act about your cousin, Emma Briggs. Emma disgraced us by marrying an oilman.” “An oilman !” exclaimed John. “A vulgar, shocking oilman!” said Mr. Collett; “ a wretch who not only sold oil, bat soap, candles, turpentine black lea-’ and birch brooms. It was a dreadful blow to the family. Her poor grandmother never got over it, and a maiden aunt turned Methodist in despair. Well, Briggs, the oilman, died last it seems, aiuj his has

written to me, asking for assistance. Now, I have thonght of leaving her a hundred a year in my will. What do you think of it? I’m afraid she don’t deserve it. What right had she to marry against the advice of her friends? What have I to do with her misfortunes?” “My mind is quite made up,” Baid Peter Finch; “no notice ought to be taken of her. She made an obstinate and unworthy match; let her abide the consequences.” “Now I would like your opinion, John,” said Mr. Collett. “ Upon my word, I think I must say the same,” said John Meade, bracing himself up boldly for the part of the worldly man. “ What right had she to marry—as you observed with great justice, sir? Let her abide the consequences—as you very properly remarked, Finch. Can’t she carry on the oilman’s business ? I dare say it will support her very well.” “ Why, no,” said Mr. Collett; “ Briggs died a bankrupt, and his widow and children are very destitute.” “ That does not alter the question,” said Peter Finch. * ‘ Let Briggs’ family do something for her themselves.” “To be sure,” said Mr. Collett, “ Briggs’ family are the people to do something for her. She mustn’t expect anything from us—must she John?" “Destitute, is she?” said John. “ With children, too ? Why, this is an other case, sir. You sureiy ought to notice her—to assist her. Confound it, I’m in for letting her have the hundred a year.” “Oh, John, John! what a break down!” said Mr. Collett. “So vou were trying to follow Peter 1 Finch through Atony Arabia, and turned back at the second step! Here’s a brave traveler for you, Peter! John, keep your Arabia Felix, and - leave sterner ways to very different men. Good-by, both of you. I’ve no voice to talk any more. I’ll think over all you have said.” He pressed their hands and they left the room. The old man was too weak to speak the next day, and in three days after that he calmly breathed his last. As soon as the funeral was over the will was read by the confidential man of business, who had always attended to Mr. Collett’s affairs. The group that sat around him preserved a decorous appearance of disinterestedness, and, the usual preamble to the will having been listened to with breathless attention, the man of business read the following, ia a clear voice : “ I bequeath to my niece, Emma Briggs, notwithstanding that she shocked her family by marrying an oilman, the •sum of £4,000, being fully persuaded that her lost dignity, if she could ever And it again, would do nothing to provide her with food, or clothing, or shelter.”

John Meade smiled and Peter Finch ground his tfeeth, bnt in a quite respectable manner. The man of business went on with his reading. “ Having always had the opinion that woman should be rendered a rational and independent being—and having duly considered the fact that society practically denies her the right to earn her own living—l hereby bequeath to Mary Sutton, the only child of my old friend, Frederick Sutton, the sum of £IO,OOO, which will enable her to marry or to remain single as she may prefer. ” John Meade gave a prodigious start upon hearing this, and Peter Finch ground his teeth again, but in a manner hardly perceptible. Both, however, by a violent effort, kept silent. The man of business went on with his reading. “Ihave paid some attention to the character of my nephew, John Meade, and have been grieved to find him much possessed with a feeling of philanthropy and with a general preference for whatever is noble and true over what is base and false. As these tendencies are by no means such as caif advance him in the world, I bequeath him the sum of £lO,000, hoping that he will thus be kept out of the workhouse, and be enabled to paint his great historical picture, which, as yet, he has only talked about. “As for my other nephew, Peter Finch, he views all things in bo sagacious and selfish a way, and is so certain to get on in life, that Ishouldonly insnlt him by offering an aid which he does not require; yet, from his affectionate uncle, and entirely as a testimony of admiration for his mental acuteness, I venture to hope that he will accept a bequest of £SOO toward the completion of liis extensive library of law books.” • How Peter Finch stormed and called .names, how John Meade broke into a of jov, how Mart Sutton cried *dn*«nd then laughed. fttxWhen latiglied and cried together ; all thefee matters I shall not attempt to describe. Mary Sutton is now Mrs. John Meade, and her husband has actually begun the great historical picture. , Peter t JFinch has taken to discounting bills and bringing actions on them, and drives about in his brougham already.

Frightful Mortality.

The Russian Government has estimated its loss of soldiery at over 80,000, but there has been, probably, quite as large a loss of Russian subjects, other than military, from maladies arising ont of the war. At Alexandropol, owing to the passage through the town, since the war began, of 70,000 sick and wounded, and the neglect of th 4 sanitary authorities to take the requisite precautions, there is so much disease that all who can have left the town; the death rate has reached 55 in 1,000. At Tiflis all the doctors of the Red Cross Society are dead. In the Caucasus a plague is expected. The Turkish prisoners from Armenia are all more or less infeoted with disease, and wherever they go epidemics fallow in their train. At PeDza small pox and measles are so rife that public schools and institutions have been closed by Government order. The official report gives an invalid to every house. Near St. Petersburg the black soiall poi, a form of the Persian plague, has broken out among the Turkish prisoners at Gatchina, and is causing great alarm at the capital. A month ago 10,009 sick anl wounded were at Sistova await ng removal, so many of whom were suffering from typhus that it was proposed to have typhus specials to carry those s > afflicted — New York Sun.

Well with a Bullet in His Brain.

About four years ago, a young colored lad named John Williams, while playing along the banks of the canal in this place, was shot by a reckless canal-boat Captain. The ball penetrated the boy’s forehead and lodged in the brain. He was attended by Dr. R. H. Gibbons, who probed the wound to the depth of four inches without recovering the ball. The boy was unconscious for about nine hours. His life was entirely despaired of, but, strange to say, he regained consciousness and showed signs of improvement Several days afterward an abscess was formed within the wound. This was opened by his physician, and discharged a quantity of pus, since which time the boy has entirely recovered, goes to school regularly, and stands* well in his class. In the opinion of the physicians, the ball lies below the back of the skull, and has become enoysted.-s-Hones-dale Independent.

Sarcastic.

A young radical Russophilist, dining with Lord Salisbury at Hatfield lately, was very denunciatory on a distinguished Turkophilist, and "finished by dubbing him “a Philistine.” “Why Philistine?” asked the other. “Because,” whispered Lord Salisbury, who had evinced unmistakable signs of boredom, “ you are afflicted with the jaw-bone of an ass.”

Diphtheria Cubed by Sulphur.— A few years ago, when diphtheria was ligiqp in England, a gentleman acewnpanied the celebrated jpr. Field rounds to witness the so-called “womkr ful cures” which he performed, while the patients of others were dropping on all sides. The remedy, to be so rapid, must be simple. All he took with him was powder of sulphur and a quill, aud with these he cured every patient without exception. He put a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into a wine-glass of water, and stirred it with his finger, instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of clanger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant, in a few minntes. Instead of spitting oat the gargle, he recommended the swallowing of it. In extreme cases, in which he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and, after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargliDg. He never lost a patient from diphtheria. If the patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on a shovel and sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of brimstone at a time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fungus will die.

Carbolic Acid fob. Coughs and Catarrh. — The London Medical Record gives the experience of Dr. Moritz in the use of carbolic-acid spray in catarrhal disease of the respiratory organs. Having had much to do with Carbolic acid, and especially the spray, he noticed that the bronchial catarrh with which he was frequently troubled did not occur, or that, if it began, it was soon arrested. A colleague of his, Dr. Asseldelfffc, made the same observation. Dr. Moritz used the spray of a 2 per cent, solution of carbolic acid. He first tried it on two children in whom the commencement of whooping-cough was suspected. After the remedy had been used two days, the slight catarrh which was present came to a stand-still, and in a few days disappeared. In several children with measles, the cough was diminished, and the nights were more quiet after the use of carbolic-acid spray. In two surgical patients also, whose luags were in a suspicious state, the cough entirely disappeared during the frequent use of the spray. The carbolic acid does not act as a cauterant, for dilation produces beneficial action, and it is not demonstrated that it exerts any chemical action on the false membranes, as some have thought. It appears most reasonable that it acts as a parasiticide, destroying the protoorganisms which constitute the fundamental part of the false membranes and which exist in the circulatory system, since the local alterations are more than the expression of zymotic influence.

Bitter Feelings Engendered by the Irish Famine.

Among the most baleful and long-lived of the results of “ the great famine” are the bitter feelings which it engendered between the Irish and the English. The former, their brains yet afire with the memory of the unspeakable horrors, consider the tardiness and insufficiency of English aid a crime, and call the famine a “slaughter;” while the latter, mindful of the torture of sympathy which their own generous hearts endured, and of the splendid contributions they,, forth, are maddened by the fierce ingratitude of the sufferers. - It is a soeef that may never be healed; but Mirf SullMn’s efforts to explain the sad misunderstandings are of great value, coming from one of the victims, who feels with an Irish heart, and who is yet keen-sighted, liberal and patriotic. He feels that the noble generosity of the English people has been forgotten in a frenzy of reproach against the English Government of that day.' When the warning voices were rais id, when, even, the storm had buret, the Government refused to move beyond the speed and limits of ordinary constitutional methods. Red tape killed its thousands in Ireland as certainly as if it had been a bowstring about their necks. While the smitten fields were strewed withrottingcorpses, thenobles and statesmen in England were flatly denying, in public speeches, that there was any famine in Ireland. The British naval authorities even refused the loan of a ship to transport across the channel the generous contributions of the people, because it was contrary to all regulations ; while, immediately upon this fatal strictness, the American war-vessels Macedonia and Jamestown arrived, brihging salvation from the far-off shores. Who oan wonder that the Irish fail to make needful allowance, and feel their blood maddened at the memory of that dreadful time? The Government’s fatal tardiness, and its still more exasperating blunders; the glorious generosity of the English people.; the strange Sentimental obstacles raised in England; the embittered hinderances in Ireland—are they not known to all readers i If not, they are given clearly, almost dispassionately, in the pages of “ New Ireland. ” The results, at least, are written all over the face of the unfortunate isle. The old simplicity of life and manners is forever gone ; the robberies and depredations which starving, maddened creatures were driven to commit have banished the times when no door was ever padlocked, and every passing stranger was welcomed for the night The noble temperance movement, too, was checked

and nearly desfttJT’ed; the poor peasants, denfcd food, tattled to the bottle, and the-vile appetite once mon regained ita throne. But far deeper scars than

J An Exciting Bear-Hunt.

The rare spectacle of a bear-hunt in the etseets o£>Vhilad|t jfcia was recently witnefßed with no little trepidation and Henry Budoudt, a tavern-keeper, purchased a half-grown black bear and domiciled hu>back yard, intending it as an altreotiott to the saloon. BadhtirOt imagini-1 that h- was an amateur evening when Bruin slipped hie collar, climbed the fence, and took apoaitionJh a shed in the next yard. Instantly the neighborhood was in an uproar. Mothers sraa $ locked, doprs and windows, gaimoseeampered home, and even grown, men accelerated their Speed in « difee-, tion* opposite to where th% fear Waa. Meanwhile Bruin was contentedly holding the foart, havmg stretched wmSSlf out for a nap. The police were called out amid great uproar, and, urged by .fired seven shots without effect. Bruin the Sergeant had spoiled his aim, although he Wfts within five feet of the bear. ' f‘ Yon oan’t shoot I Let me try,” said Offioer Dean. Bis revolver, a seven-shooter, was emptied, the two last shots taking effect. Bruin got up, growled, and shook his shaggy coat, while Dean clambered upon the fence, ready to drop in the alley and run. The wounds only angered the bear, who began a promenade on the roof of the shed. One officer after another then advanced in rapid succession and emptied their revolvers, and others would have fired had not the bear growled and made them run. The polioe were advised to get a mortar or a cannon and send for the Sixth Begiment, the heroes of the Pittsburgh round-house. A volunteer then letoffhis double-barreled shot-gun, and the tiring from all points of the compass became genera]. Just as the brute yielded up his life, another squad of twenty-five policemen came on the scene at a double-quick. The carcass was then cut up and borne away, the officer in charge of the municipal forces remarking, “I wasn’t afraid, but I’d sooner tackle men any time then fool with one of them critters. ”

Turkish Journalism.

Constantinople is not well supplied with news, although that city supports eighteen daily papers printed in English, French, Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Spanish, and Bulgarian. Beporters are unknown. The editorials of the Greek and Armenian newspapers are on chnrch matters alone, while the Turkish papers are filled chiefly with translations from the European press. The way news items are bandied about is amusing. The Turkish paper, Bassiret, publishes an item in the morning, which is served up in slightly altered garb in the Levant Herald in the evening, and is copied next morning into the Bassiret as inde pendent testimony to its truth. On the third day the Bassiret learns that it is false, and says so. The American export trade is assuming larger proportions with each succeeding month, and is destined to set our financial matters all right in spite of the Congressional wranglers. Among the piano exports to Europe and the South American States the popular firm of Geo. Steck & Co., of New York, figures largely, because instruments have gained the reputation of standing the most severe climate better than those of their competitors A Southern paper regrets that something cannot be done to induce the blacks in some of the overcrowded sections to emigrate to Liberia. It never occurred to the editor to start a report that they raise watermelons as big as a cow over there. —Ureal fast Table.

Old bachelors who never smoke. People who will suffer from chronic indigestion, constipation, and torpid liver, or “ biliousness,” when Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are known to be reliable and speedy remedies for these diseases.

Women who do not love babies. Women who will suffer from all those painful diseases to which the sex is heir, when Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is admitted by every lady who uses it to be an efficient remedy for these maladies. People who believe their progenitors were apes.

People who will seek health at fashionable watering places, smothering at Saratoga or Long Branch,. or sacrificing themselves to “ Graham diet ” at Water Cures and Health Institutes, when the magnificent Invalids’ Hotel, at Buffalo, offers all the elegant oomforts of the finest hotels, combined with the best sanitary advantages—Russian, Turkish, and plunge baths, gymnasium, etc.—and is situated in and near some of the finest natural scenery in the Empire State. The most peculiar of all are the people who read these paragraphs and fail to profit by them.
