WEDNESDAY, AVG8UT 20.

THE BITER OF LIFE. The more we live, more brief appear Oar life's succeeding stages; A day to childhood seems a year, ' And years like passing ages. The gladsome current of our youth. Ere passion yet disorders, Steals lingering like a river smooth Along its grassy borders. Bat as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shafts fly thicker, Ye stars, that measure life toman. Why seem your courses quicker? ' When ' Joys have lost their bloom and breath. And lite itself Is vapid. Why, as we near the falls of death, - feel we its tide more rapid? . i . It may be strange yet who would change Time's course to slower speeding, . When one by one our friends have gone . And left our bosoms bleeding. Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness. And those of youth, a seeming length, Proportioned to their sweetness. READING FOR LITTLE FOLKS. The Little Black Demon. , Leslie Thome. Aunt Peggy was sitting darning stockings the fire, when Violet pounced in, like an India rubber ball. Violet very often bounced in in this sort of way, and Aunt Peggy knew very well what it meant. It meant that she was out of temper. "Violet is angry again," thought Aunt l'cggy, -with a siga. But she looked up from her work,' and asked, pleasantly: s "Well, what is the matter now?" "It's those hateful Maynard children," said Violet with a face as red as fire. "I never, never will play with them again ! "Well," said Aunt Peggy, thoughtfully, 'this is very strange. Very strange indeed." "What is strange?" asked Violet. xNeiiv .Brewster was playing with you yesterday, and she didn't suit you. The two little Howards went home the day before, be cause you did not choose to play with them. All the children are alwavs in the wrong, and you are always in the right. How wicked and unreaeonable they must be and how very pcriect a little child you are! Violet hung down her head, and looked Ashamed. ''I can't help it, Aunt Peggy," said she. "Are you quite sure of that?" said Aunt Peggy. "Yes," said Violet. "Or at least perhaps L could help it if it wasn t tor my temper. "O," said Aunt Peggy. "It's your temper again, is it: Violet nodded her head, with one plump - little nnger in tier mouth. "Violet," said her aunt, "you remind me of a story I once read, when -1 was a child. " What sort of a story?" said Violet, who always pricked up her ears at anything of this sort. . "Of a little girl who alwavs went through the world with a hideous little black demon perched upon her shoulders and of how this -demon tormented her until shedetcrminedto battle with it and conquer it!" "And did she?" said violet, with her mouth and eyes wide open. "un, yes, sne conquered it, Dut sne had a hard fight of it at first. Now, you see, you have a little black demon perched on your ; shoulder! "My temper?" said Violet. "Yes, your temper," said Aunt Peggy. "It follows you around, everywhere. It makes you miserable, and it makes all around you miserable. Now, Violet, don't you think you .can conquer ltf "I don't know," said Violet, slowly "But I've a great mind to trvl' She went up stairs to her room where she "had built a little doll house of blocks. Brid get, the moid, had come there to feed the canaries, and had accidentally upset a part of this fanciful little edifice. "Bridget, you hateful thing!" cried Violet, stamping her foot on the floor. "How dare you knock Over my doll huse?" "Violet! Violet!" called'out her aunt. Violet threw herself down in a heap of blue delaine flounces on the floor, and burst into tears. "It isn't me, Aunt Peggy." sobbed she; "It's the little black demon !" She shut her teeth very tight, and clenched her hands, as she spoke. "But I'll conquer bint," she added and she did. For, live minutes after, she went smiling down into the kitchen. "Bridget," said she, '-I'm sorry I spoke so crossly to you about the doll house. I don't beHeve you meant to knock it down." "Bless your dear little heart, miss," said Bridget, "and sure I'll build it up again the first leisure minute I getl" Just before tea, Violet was playing with the kitten, when it scratched her hand! la stantly she caught it up, and flew out of the room. "Where are you going, Violet?" said Aunt Peggy. "I'm going to drown this horrid kitten in the pond," said Violet, with a very red face, and eves that glittered like coals of fire. "It has dared to scratch me, and I hate it!" Aunt Pei;2:y looked mournfully at the little girl. "Oh, Violet!" said she, "I can see the lit tle black demon verv plainly now! Violet looked ashamed, and dropped the kitten on the floor. "Aunt P earcy, said she, "there s no use trvins: I cant helD mv temrjer!" And she rushed up stairs into the garret, where there was a solitary corner, which was alwavs called " V lolet s place "Oh, you hateful creature I" she cried out loud, looking at herself in a little lookingglass, which had once belonged to the lid of A broken work box. "Oh, you red-nesed, swelled-eyed, snake-faced thing! I hate you! I despise you I You can't keep your temper a single hour! 1 will conquer you, or I'll know the reason why! And Violet danced about on the garret floor, pulling at her poor little curls, until the . tears came into her eves, and pinchine her fat cheeks unmercifully. Aunt Peggy, standin? at the foot of the staircase, heard the commotion, and smuea quietly to nersen. When Violet came down again she was very Kjuiet and subdued, and sat down quite meek- . ly to her patchwork. Jfresently little johnny rcame in. "Oh. Violet," said he, "I'm awfully sorry: "but I and Bill Betson were chasing each other in the garden, just now, and I fell ovc your roftMrec, and broke the top on. Violet sprane up in a Croat race. S "You hateful, clumsy blockhead, ' said . she. " . . -"You needn't call names," said Johnny. i '"But I will call names, sputtered Violet; "clumsy, blundering, awkward But just here, in the mid-torrent of her wrath, she chanced to patch Aunt Peggy's -ye fixed upon her in mud reproach. , "The little black demon again," cried she and away she darted once more to the secluded nook in the garret, where she 'bumped her head against the beams of the room until she seemed to see a whole circle of stars -dancing around her. "I'llldll you, you horrid thing!" she cried out. "i won t let vou rule over tae sol And Johnny was very much astonished

when Violet reappeared in tie sitting-room in a few minutes, and walked tp to him with

smiling face. . "Never mind, Johnny," said fce. "I was a little angry, just at first, but I don't care much about the rose-tree. it wain t a very pretty rose, after all; and I dare say the whole thing was by accident." V "Of course it was," said Johnny. "And I say, Violet, you're a trump, and I'll biy you a new rose with my nrst pocket-money i save up." (Which was very good-natured of Jotnny, if only Violet hadn't known that he never yet had been able to save up any-money.y And when Violet went to bed that night. Aunt Peggy listened at the door, and heard her pounding her pillow, and talking in a low, indignant voice, "1 won't!" said Violet, "I wontl I won't? You hideous little black torment, you want to rend and tear me because I stumbled over the hobby-horse that Willie left in the middle ot the bed-room floor, and most DroKe my poor little toes off". But you shan't 1 I've got you down, and I'll keep you down, so there now!" And then there was a prodigious pound into the middle of the pillow, and a sound of suppressed sobbing, ana then all was still. Aunt Peggy smiled to herself. "I think my little girl will conquer yet," she thought; and she went softly back to her work by the sitting-room lamp. At the end of the week Violet came to her a twit. "Aunt Peggy," said she, "I do really think the little black demon isn't quite so bad as he was. I do really think I've got him under a little." "So do I, my dear," said Aunt Peggy, giving the wistful-looking child an affectionate kiss. "And I think if you keep on trying as you are trying now he will be altogether vanquished in a little while." Violet did keep on trying; and the result was that people began to say to one another: "How very much improved our Violet is!" and "How good and quiet Violet is getting!" But nobody knew what a struggle it was, unless, indeed, it might be Violet herself, or the particular beam in the garret roof against which she bumped her head, when she especially wished to subdue the little black demon. . Chips for the Children. Boys, don't be deceived. A girl who will talk of the "limbs" of a table will after marriage, chase you all around the ragged ramparts of a two-acre lot with a rolling-pin and a regular kerosene conflagration in both eye. The small boy hurls defiance into the teeth of cholera morbus, and calmly munches his eleventh green apple; but the cholera morbus takes him all the same, just as if he were mild and gentle and prepared to go, like the boy in the Sunday-school books. "Mamma, I don't think the people who make dolls are very pious people," said a little girl to her mother one day. "Why not, my child?" "Because you t?an never make them kneel. I always bte to lay my doll on her stomach to say her prayers." A word to the wise is sufficient. A minis ter made an interminable call upon a lady of his acquaintance. Her little daughter, who was present grew weary of his conversation, and whispered in an audible tone, . "Didn't he bring his amen with him, mamma?" "Ikey, vot you vas geshtoodying, say?" "Now, ole man, uf you only don't say geshtoodying, aber stoodying!" "Vifo, you hear rait dot? Dot poy tells somedings to his old fader. Uf I don't was sent you bei dot schooll,and haf you dot Enkiish getaught how you know vat voa der way right to gespeak,eh? Allewcil." A little four-year-old going to church with her mother for the first time tho other Sunday, saw the long-handled contribution boxes passed. With great wonder in her face, and to the great amusement of all about her, she broke out in the loudly whis pered exclamation, "Mamma, mamma, what makes them pass those corn-poppers around for." : . , Keeping- op Appearances. Much of the unhappiness of this world arises from an anxious and useless straining alter the impossible, rew are satisfied to be what they are, or inclined to make the best of surrounding circumstances. Men, and wo men too, who believe that the utterance of a base coin, knowing it to be such, should just ly expose them to ignominy, appear to regard the attempt to pass themselves off as something better or richer than they really are, as not oniv not censurable, but justly commendable; for they say they are "keep ing up appearances, and they must "mamtain a certain degree of pride. The pride that prevents a man from say ing fearlessly.- "I can't afford it." when tempted to an expenditure be vond his means. is contemptible. The fact is that the lack of money to enable us to shine like our richer brethren is not, from any point of view, dis graceful, and, contrary to the belief ot many, is not so regarded by sound, sensible people, or by the mass in general. On the contrary, let any honest man defy comment by show ing himself undisguisedly for what he is, and the poor cowards of appearance-nfekers will be the first to respect him for his courage, and regret that they are too weak to follow his example. Now all of this nervous anxiety and neverending labor to keep up appearances can be avoided by the natural ana comfortable plan of permitting our appearances to truly represent our actual condition. If the world does see readily through this flimsy veil of pretence, (and that it does every man's observation and experience proves) why should we take so much trouble about what are called and very properly, too appearances? If the appearance correspond with the reality, as it should, there will be no need to see about its manufacture. It would be folly to strive to make a sphere seem to be round. If the appearance be at variance with the truth, we make it so to the damage of our comfort, if not to the injury of our worldly prospects, which in such a case can be looked after in no thoroughly straight forward way. In the estimate of our per sonal condition by tho world, and in our attempts to form or modify that estimate, we shall find, as in our business dealings, that honesty is the best policy. If we are con stantly living in the false atmosphere of de ceptive appearances, we can not truly respect ourselves, and it would be idle to ex pect from others that which our own con science will not yield to us. Power of a Horse's Scent. There is one perception which a horse pos sesses to which litttle attention has been paid, and that is the power of scent. With some horses it is acute, as with the dog; and for the ben en t of those who have to drive at night. such as physicians and others, this knowledge is invaluable. I never knew it to fail, and I have ridden hundreds of miles on dark nights; and in consideration to this power of scent, this is my advice: JN ever check your horse ut night, but give him a free head, and you may rest assured that he will never get off the road, and will carry you expeditiously and safe. In regard to the power of scent in a horse I once knew one of a pair that was stolen, and recovered mainly by the track being made out by its mate, and that after he had, been absent six or eight hours.

THE KKGLISHXAN AND TUB BEAR.

How i Grisely Dined Upon the Lunch of British Sportsman. Boston Herald. Leadvillk, Col, July 10. The other day a young Englishman started for . the mountains to hunt until he should find a grizzly. He had a gun carrying 100 grains of powder. He had killed foxes in the old country, and shot sage hens and jack rabbits here. Clearly he was not the man to grow timid at the Bight of a clumsy be?.r. About noon, tired with climbing, hot and exhausted, "the duke," as we had nicknamed him, sat down on a stone to rest and eat his lunch. He was fearfully tired and sore, and intended to take a refreshing nap as soon as he had finished his meal. Just as he was raising the first morsel to his mouth, the duke heard a . loud crashing in the underbrush behind him. The sound was some distance awav. He joyfully took his rifle, and, with some groans oi xatigue rushed into the bushes. Suddenly ne paused. All sound froze in his throat. ills movement were naralvzed. Twenty feet ftpm him stood a brownish creature nearly seven feet hieh. It was standing on its hind legs, with its tore ones folded, sniffling tne air right and left. What particularly started the duke into frigid unconsciousness was the size oi tne creature s claws. . tie had never heard, read, or seen anything half so horribly provocative of quakine. "Eirad. vou know." said the duke, "when I heard the animal snifllnir for me mv liver turned whW. I just made a bolt far one of those aspens, and before I had. breathed twice I was up to the branches tired m 1 was. j. his statement is rendered the more re markable by the fact that the quaking aspen is a tree as bare and straight for the first 20 feet as a mast. .. The grizzly content ed itselt with eating the duke s lunch and trying to break his gun, after which the bear took the gun up and started off". After the lapse of an hour the duke managed to sum mon up resolution enough to slide down the tree. He found bis gun not far trom the tree, and ran down the mountain like a deer, never stopping until he had reached the plain where grizzlies are unknown. The duke's knees shook that night while he was telling the story. He is now amply satisfiied to shoot jack rabbits. Kocky Mountain goats are very numerous on the hills, but they have keener sight even than antelopes, and can run like the wind. I ou can scarcely shoot ahead of them. It is possible to get within 250 yards of a herd of antelopes. One can not approach nearer than 600 yaTds to one of these goats. Deer it is easy to get within shooting distance of. Panthers are as hard to kill as grizzlies. No matter where you hit them, or how vital vour shot is, there is always life and strength enough left in them for one mighty bound and a short struggle, sufficient to take your life if the beast can reach you in the leap. A grizzly can be killed with a shot behind the ear or the forequarter. The popular mistake that a bullet between tho eyes" will fix it has cost many hunters their lives. The bone there is exceedingly hard and impene trable. Grizzlies will not attack man, but will rather run away from him unless they are wounded or desperately hungry. Cin namon bears will follow a man up a tree and paw him to satisfy their curiosity, with out contemplating any attack unless, as is generally the case, the frightened fugitive precipitates one. Sociability and Flirtation. It is probable that there are no two terms in the English language more often confounded with each other than are these two. W ebster. whose authority is sufficiently good to serve for our standard in this, defines them thus; sociability, inclination to mix in friendly converse; flirtation, playing at courtship, coquetry. W ith this decided distinction, the common confusion of the words is inexcusable, and argues, on the part of those who are guiltv, either a gross ignorance, or a love ot mischietmaking, if not both. W hatever may be the cause of the misuse, serious harm is often the result Sociability is not confined to either sex, or to those of any particular age. It prompts one to feel an interest in the amusements of childhood, in the studies of youths and maid ens, in the afflictions of old age, and in the promise of infancy. It finds something re sponsive in them all. A lady and gentleman, both teachers, recently conversing together, the lady remarked to the gentleman that she enjoyed teaching; she liked the companionship of school-girls; she had a great deal of sympathy with them, with their work, with their trials, aud even with their nonsense; more with the latter, often, than she found it wise to express. She said she liked boys also; and was continuing the conversation by giving her reasons, when an old gentleman, a friend of theirs, came where they were standing, and said, with the courtesy of a gentleman of the old school, laying his hand on his heart, "Oh, how I wish I were a school-boy!" She answered with a return of compliment, "But I also like them all the way up." And did her answer not embody the true secret of her sociability? She was social ;sho liked the people, in spite of the many faults and frailties, the found in the majority of those with whom she came in contact something that was congenial. She knew the good was there somewhere, rfnd that she looked for, that she found, and for that she liked them. She found something in each one to which she could respond with the best of herself. Not necessarily with all of the best; the entirety was reserved for special and dear friends. Just how she did it would be impossible to sav, but sho drew us all to a higher level when in her presence. We stood "in a large place." It may have been that her heart was filled with a general fraternal love for humanity as such. The true meaning of the term sociability, as exemplified by her, may have been the synonym of the best religion, cr of the sum of the best in all of the all religions that the world has ever known It is to be regretted that we do not more frequently meet with this quality in its high est and best sense. Too often we find, where it exists in spirit, that its influence is lessoned by its being dwarfed and hedged in by a lack of confidence in one's self, or by a fear of intruding on those whom it would gladly meet in pleasant, kindly intercourse. To overcome the former difficulty a large share of selfforgctfulness is essential, and to avoid the latter considerable tact is demanded. Besides, a depth of character and a liberal education must underlie true sociability; a character established by a constant and continuous discipline of self ; an education gained less from schools and books than from a study of people; and a practice of constant courtesy and kindness. We must leave entirelyoutof our considera tion theunkindness which prompts the saving of harsh and unpleasant things, as the sociability we have, in y iew is far above that level asociability which takes the stranger in to our homes, or boarding-houses, even, and makes , 1 1 i . i . . . 1 1 . , mm ieei inut ne is noi atone in vue woria, that he is not entirely unnecessary to the social life of the world, to which he and every one should, and ought, to contribute something. There is a misinterpretation of the term "sociability," which forbids those of a social nature to express thomselves.lest their motives should be misunderstood; lest a familiarity should be returned where

would be neither wise nor pleasant. Wo may regard sociability as the vestibule which opens into a pleasant acquaintance, a true.

nrm inenusnip, or, possibly, into the nearer and dearer relation of ma-riage. But whatever it leads to, love aud kindness are the motives, even if the unconscious ones, which prompt to its action. v e do not wish to be obtrusive, and therefore trust that our ad vances may not be received in a wrong spirit. No rules can be given if this tact be wanting; it can be learned only bv a knowl edge of the laws of courtesy, and by a study of those with whom we come in contact. As a rule, the relations which exist be tween the sexes are of a truly pleasant. friendly, or intellectual character. Why should they not be so? They are together in childhood through their school-days; and the gentlemen and ladies who meet together in our colleges and universities have done more to establish these pleasant relations than any other class of people. Experience certainly shows that there is a better-balanced intelligence in a community of men and women than in any institution which contains only a crowd of men and women. God made the two natures not unequal there is no question of equality to como in here but he made them unlike, incomplete, each without the other. It is the combining of man's intellect with woman's which makes human intelligence complete as far as finiteness can be complete. The particular line of thought which is followed by man and woman differs; but th general thought is in a similar line, and thereloro this general thought is more :apable of growth and expansion when the thought of the two comes in pontact than when man meets man alone, or woman meets woman. Each will find in the other some stray thread of the thought which is missing in his or her own mind, but which they never knew was missing, until they found it. It is by those who do not view this subject in its true light, by those who have nothing of interest in common with others outside of their own petty, personal affairs, that the immense amount of harm is done, and the confusion of tho words "sociability" and "flirtation" is made. They are obtuse, and do not distinguish between folly or sin and a love tor society or fondness for company. A large share ot the sorrow and unhappi ness in the world is caused by misrepresentation and misunderstandings. Very seldom do we meet with one who wishes to do harm or to injure others; but motives arc falsely ascribed and the wound is inflicted. Let us be thoroughly honest, kind and considerate toward alt, and judge then of others' motives by our oVn. Count Turenne on America. Count Turenne, a French gentleman who spent 14 months in this country in 1875-6, and has published his book, as all good tour ists should do, is naturally struck with the position ot women in American society. The personal charms of American ladies he he considers superior to those of any European nation, and the elegance of their manners seems to him to exercise a wholesome and refining influence upon the harsh and angular character and behavior of the men. American men, in return, show an. amount of almost religious attention and devotion to women, which the author thinks unparallel ed in any other country. He did not find any society here; that is, none to speak of 15y society he means those rapports, those sympathetic communications that one has with others. America is lull ot men who have succeeded marvellously, and who are themselves a failure; whose residences are splendid, but whose souls are vulgar; who have pictures and can not appreciate them, books and do not read them, clothes and bad fashions, clients, (clientes in the Roman sense,) but no society; flatterers, but no friends. They have acquired fortune by great effort, but they do not know how to enjoy it. To be sure theroare eminent minds, enlightened and cultivated in art, letters and science, but they associate with each other almost exclusively in a by no means numerous group, which fonns a sort of caste by itself, and constitutes what might be called "the true society." Its defects are as palpable as in any country, those which are tho result of early educat ion, and access to it for tho wealthy of the old world is difficult. Criminal Skulls. Dr. Bordier, a French savant, has been studying the skulls of assassins. As results ot bis measurements and analyses, we find the following: The frontal region the seat of the intellectual faculties is, in fact, some what less in assassins than in other men: on the other hand, the lateral or parietal region is more developed in them. This region ap pears, according to recent researches, to be the seat of the motor centers the centers of impulse. It is that which is found atrophied in apathetic idiots, and hypertrophied in those who aro in constant motion. Further, the back of the head is much the same in them as it is in the rest of the world. To sum up, less reflection and more action than other men would be the intellectual disposition which this craniomctric study seems to assign to assassins. In this they approach prehistoric man, and even the protohistoric In them also is found a frontal region some what less, the parietal region somewhat greater.'. This instantaneity of action, which is thus presumed in the assassin, was, it is suggested, probably a precious quality in the savage of the stone period. The conclusion of M. Bordier is pilosophically curious enough; it is that the criminal is an atavic being "sim ilar to an animal that, born of parents long domesticated, tamed and habituated to labor, should appear suddenly with tbe unconquer able savagery ot its ancestors. How He Managed It. - Sea Francisco Newt-Letter. "Another burglary on my square last night," said old Dr. Willis, while dining with his partner thoother evening. "For my part I m tired of paying taxes lor tne privilege ot being robbed. I don't really see how the police can help arresting some thieves now and then, if only by accident unless, indeed, the police are the burglars themselves. How is it that you are never robbed, Joe?" Simfilest thing in the world. All you need is a ittle knowledge of humau nature. Now' I'll bet there are three or four policemen in this house at the present moment, Let's go and see." And Joe led tho way down into the basement, and the company peeped through the kitchen door. Sure enough, there sat four officers. One was fixing the nre, one was picking chickens, while the other two were shelling peas and singing a choroug from "Pinafore." "Well, I'm blessed!" said old Willi: "How do you manage it!" "Easy as rolling off a log. I keep a pretty servant girl!' Artless People. The Frenchman who fell overboard from the steamer on which the Cobden club was returning to London after its recent dinner

THE CAUSES OF LONG LIFE.

A Centenarian Who Was Moderate Drinker and Ate Whatever He Liked, London Lancet. The causes of. life and of death are, to some extent identical. Influences which kill the weak, strengthen the strong, and in the mutual reaction of a perfect constitution and a mode of life free from those lethal influerv ces which no strength of constitution can resist may be found the secret of extreme longevity. The history of centenarians often illustrates this, but it is not often that the conditions of their existences can be accurately known . Not long ago the death was announced, at the age of 102, of Beverend Canon Beadon of Stoneham, the particulars of whose life are in this respett of some interest. Born in the year 1777, he succeeded his father in the living of Stoneham in 1812, the living having been held by the two, father and son, for more than 100 years. His ancestors presented examples of moderate but not extreme longevity, his father having died at 80 and his mother at 86. Canon Beadon was probably the last person living who remembered the Lord George Gordon riots. At the timo (1780) he was three years of age, and he distinctly recollected having been held up to the window by his nurse to see the soldiers in the streets. His good health was almost uninterupted; in early manhood be had a slight illness, the exact nature of which is difficult to ascertain, since it occured in the year 1798. He was about 5 feet 9 inches in height, broad-shouldered, and deep-chested, with very long arms and large hands. In early life he possessed great muscular power, which was well indicated by his frame. Even when long past 70 his strength of wrist was remarkable. He was fond of shooting and fishing; the former amusement he kept up till 94, the latter till 88. When middle-aged he could walk out shooting from morning till night, exposed to any amount of old and wet, and completely knock up many younger men. lie seemed quite impervious to the ailments to which ordinary men are subject. He never knew what a headache or rheumatism was. His digestion appeared perfect, and he could eat anything with impunity. He not only ate heartily at every meal, but used often to eat biscuits, etc., between meals. He was a "moderate drinkor" by no means a total abstainer, and was to the last extremely fond of sweet things. As he grew older his step became slower, but he never tottered in his gait. To the last bis complexion was ruddy in tint, never showing the parchmentlike appearance so often an accompaniment of extreme old age. His condition remained as in middle age up to his death, neither stouter nor thinner. At 97 he had his first severe illness an attack of bronchitis, contracted through gomg out on a very cold day and he was nevcr afterward quite tho same. Up to this date he had taken service in his church every Sunday and his three months' duty in "Wells Cathedral, his voice continuing distinct and powerful; but after the attack of bronchitis ho was more or less an invalid. Nevertheless ho was able to answer himself, 70 letters of congratulation which he received on his hundredth birthday. The late severe winter tried him very much, and he had several colds and slight attacks of bronchitis, from all of which he recovered, and he died at last peaceably and painlessly, from mere "decay of nature," During the last year or wo of his life, if fatigued or out of health in any way, his mind was not perfectly clear, but he never lapsed into anything like "second childishness." He was possessed of a most inipcrturablc temper and singularly even spirits, and would not allow anything to worry him. The two places where he passed almost -the whole of his life, "Wells and Stoneham are relaxing in climate. One of his nephews is now living, aged 80, two died last year, aged 85 and 88 respectively, and at the time ot bis death Canon lieadon had great-grcat-great nephews and neices living. Practical Bints. New York Ban. Mosquitoes can be driven from rooms by the smoke of insect-powder burnt on a hot shovel. When it is not easy to get fire, put a bit of gum camphor on a shovel, light, and the gum will catch as quickly as alcohol; then sprinkle a tablespoon ful of insect-pow der (pyrethrum) on the flame, let it take fire, blow out the blaze, close the windows, and let the smoke rise for five minutes. It will not injure walls or funiture, and doeJ not harm human bcintrs, though obnoxious to in sects. Hanging a cloth on which a teaspoonful of carbolic acid is poured, at the head of the bed, will keep mosquitoes away, and the writer has repeatedly gained a good night's sleep by this means when others failed. Take care to place the cloth or sponge so that there is no danger of touching it with the face or hands in the nisht as the acid burns like caustic. It is not generally known, as it ought to be that the remedy for burns by carbolic acid is Canada fir balsam, spread on the part at tacked. A wash of 15 or 20 drops of common car bolic acid in a half-pint of water will immedintelv relieve the smart of mosquito bites. hives,prickly heat, and all irritations of the skin common in summer. As the strength of carbolic acid commonly sold varies, the dilution should be tested before using by wetting a small spot of skin. If it causes any burnine in a moment or so, it is too strong, and more water must be added. The lotion was recommended by t city ptsysieian as in use in Bellevue hospital, and years of experi ence prove its benefit. .Many restless nights and much suffering of children might be avoided by this simple cure, which has been safely used on very young infants. The tortures which babies have to under go are so numerous and so pitiful, and visited imDartiallv on all about them in travel and at home; so many ailing, miserable little creatures are to be seen on the cars and ferryboats, taken out by their distracted mothers for a chance of air, that I feel it will be giving general relief to tell the advice of a hosDital physician, which proved an entire success in mv own family. The pain of teething may be almost done away with, and the health of the child benefited, by giving it fine splinters of ice, pirked off with a pift. to melt in its mouth. The fragment is so small that it is but a drop of warm water liofore it can be swallowed, and the child has all the coolness for its fevered gums, without the slightest injury. The avidity with which the little tUincs taste the cooling morsel, the instant quiet which succeeds hours of fretfulnefs, and the sleep which fol low the relief, are the best witness. Wan bins; the LettuceA voune woman who had never learned the gentlo art of cooking, being desirous of impressing her husband with her knowledge and diligence, manages to have the kitchen door aiar on the day after their return from their bridle tour, and just as her lord comes in from the office, exclaims loudly: "Hurry tt U not ludicion. to postpone the eonsid.
