"When, a year ago, we produced at the Lyceum, as a fir.-1 piece, the old Scotch drama of Cramrn.i Briaj," the various members of the Company playing in the piece bad full choice of wherewithal to wash down their heod and hnrrileb' of which, by the way, er a hundred were consumed during the run and the miller's supper became nightly jollity, except, perhap?, to the iücotch nobility and the King's huntameD, who. with watery mouth9 and. eager eyes, crowded the wing?, forbidden by the irony of dramatic fate to enter upon the scene until the supper had been cleared away. Thii piece had reminded me of an incident which come under my notice a good many years ago. In the oil' season of a large provincial theater, in which I was steck actor, I took an cngagetiftnt in a small town, then known as one of the most thriving sea ports of tiia North. Thesalary was little; the parts were loc, and there was not much opportunity for gaining renown, llowever, it "was better than reraainiDg'idlc, as at the Tvorst, the amount of dbt to be accumulated was minimised. The manager was not a bs1 fellow, and having been a good actor la hii time, wa3 only too glad to be surrounded by a class of actors ho.je service he could only obtain by the opportunity afforded by the bright summer in those palmy days the darkest and wintriest season to the airy comedian or the thoroughly legitimate tragedma. Our opening bill consisted of "Cramond 3 rig" '-Lord Darnley,""Yallaoe the Hero of .Scotland," and "Uilderoy,tbe Bonnie Boy;" in all of which I played, besides contributing my share in the 'National Anthem," whiib. was, right loyally and fondly sung by the entire strength of the Company. After ths rehearsal of 'C'raaiond. Brig," our jolly mmiktr faid: 'Now, boys, I shall stand a real supper to-niht; no pasteboard and parsley, but a real sheep's head and a little drop of real .Scotch.'' A tumult of applause. The manager was as good as his word, for at night there was a real head well equipped "with turnips and carrots, and the "drop of real Seotuh.' The "neighbor's bairn," an important character in the scene, came in and took her seat as usual beside the miller's chair. She was a pretty, sad-eyed, intelligent child of some nine years old. In the course of tho meat when Jock Ilowison was freely passing the w bister, she leaned over to him and i said: -Pleas', will you eive me a little?" lie looked surprised. She was so earne.-t In her request that I whispered to her: "To-morrow, perhap?, if you want it very much, you shall have a thimbleful." To-morrow nijht came, and, to my amusement, she produced from tne pocket of her little plaid frock a bright piece of bras., and Leid it out to me. Itaid, "What's this?" --.V thimble, sir.'' --Dut what am I to do with it?'' Vou said you would eive me a thimbleful of whisky if I wanted it, and I do want it." ThU was said so naturally tout the audience laughed and applauded. I looked over to the miller and found him with the butt nd of Lis kniie and fork on the table s.nJ hi eyes wide open gazing at us in astonishment, llowever, we were both exjierkneed enough to pass otT this unrehearsed ifect as a part ot the piece. I Ulled the thimble, and the child took it to her little '-creepy" stool beside the miller. X watched her and presently saw her turn her back to the audience and pour it into a little half-penny snuff box. She covered the box with a bit of paper and screwed on the lid, thus making tho box pretty watertight, and put it in her pocket. When the curtain tell, our manager came forward and patted the child's head. -Why. my little girl, said he, "you are quite a genius! Your gag is about the beet thing in the piece. We must have it every night. Bat, my child, you musn't drink -tha whisky. No, no, that would never do." Oh. sir, indeed I won't I give you my -word,. I won't!" she said, quite earnestly; and ran to her dressing-room. "Cramond Brig" had an unprecedented run of six night., and the little lady always got her thimbleful of whUky and her round of applause. And each time I noticed she corked up the former safely in the snuff box. I was curious as to what she could possibly -want with the spirit, and who she was, and "whre she came from. I aked her, but she jteeme! so unwilling to tell, and turned so red, that I did not press; but I found out that it was the old story no mother, and a tininken father. tstill, it was strange. What could she want with the whisky a child like her? It could not be for the drunken father. I wu completely at fault. I took a fancy to the litll 3 thing, and wished to fathom hor secret, for a secret I felt sure there was. After the xerrormance I saw my little lady come out. ixr little child I there whs no siotheror bxrtber to see her home. She hurried up the t?tret, and turning into the poorest quarter xaf the town, entered the common stair of a umble-down old house I followed, feeling my way as best I could. She went up and up. till in tho very top flat she entered a little room. A handful of fire in the grate Ttvca'ed a sickly boy, some two years her Junior, who crawled toward her from where he was h ing before the fire. "Cissy, I'm g'ad j'ou're home," ho said. "1 thought you'd never come." She mit her arms around him. laid tho poor little head on her shoulder, and took him over to the fire again, trying to comfort him as she went. "I the pain very bad to-night, "Willie?" "Yes." A sadier "Ye," I never heard. "Willie, I wish I could bear the pain for you." It'i cruel ot father to end me out in the wet; he knows how bad I am." "Hush! Willie, hush I he might hear you." " I don't care! I don't caret I wish jou wou'd kill me at ence.'

The reckleas abandon of the child's dee-

pair was dreadful. ' "Hush! hush! be u our rather, and we mustn't say such thing! This through her fast falling tears. Then she said, "Let me try and make the pain tetter. The boy took off his shirt. The girl leaned over and put her arms around him, and kissed the shoulder, she then put ber hand into her pocket and took out the snuffbox. l'0h, Willie, I wish we had more, so that it might cure the pain' Ilaving lighted a dip candle, she rubbed the child rheumatic shoulder with a few drops of pirit.and then covered up the little thin body, and, sitting before the fire, took the boy's" hand on her knee, and began to sing him to sleep. I took another look into the room, through tne half-open door; my foot creaked; the frightened eyes met mine. I put my fingers on my lips and crept away. But, as I began to descend the stair, I met a drunken man ascending slipping and stumbling as ho came. He slipped and stumbled by me, and entered the room. I followed to the landing unnoticed, and stood in the dark -shadow of the half-open door. A hoarse, brutal voice growled, ''What are you doing there? getupl" MI can't father, Willie's head is on my knees." "Get upl" She laid the boy's head on the floor, pillowed it in her little shawl, and stood up "Father, Willie iä very sick! you ought to try to get him cured-." "Shut up. If I hoar another word I'll make you and him too keep yourselves quiet." And the brute flung himself on his bed, muttering to hirntelf in his drunken semi oblivion, 'Cure him, indeed I Not if I know it. That's not th3 "way to get the .uoney; his cough is worth a lot alone. Cure him. indeed! Not likely! The black-hearted scoundrel! The girl bowed her head lower and lower. I could not bear it. I entered tho f oorn. The brute was on tbo ted already in his beeotted sleep. The child stole up to me, and in a half-frightened whisper 6aid, "Oh, sir, oughtn't people to keep socreta if. the' know them? I think they ought if they are other people's.' This with the dignity of a queen. I could not gainsay her; so I said, as gravely as I could, to the little woman, "The secret shall be kept, but you must ask me if you want anything." She bent over, suddenly kissed my hand, and I went down the stair. The next night she was shy in coming for tho whisky, and I took care that the had gord measure. The last night of our long run of six nights she looked more happy than I had ever seen her. When she came for the whisky she held out tho thimble, and whispered tome, with her poor, pale lips trembling: "You need only pretend tonight " "Why? ' I whispered. "Ilt'cause he doesu't want it now. He's dead!" SCIENTIFIC GUAair. About 5,000 stars are visible to the naked eye. There are 18,000.000 stars in the Milky Way. Even thestarslhat we call fixed are in constant motion. Arcturus moves through space three times as fast as the earth, but it takes 100 years to move the eighth part of the aiameter ot toe moon. Previous to repainlingor revarn.uhing old carriages it i3 necessary first to wash clean and rub down the surface with a wet cloth and ground pumice powder until it appears quite dead, er w ithout glo"s. After a tecocd washing and dryiag with wah leather it is ready to receive paint or varniih. i There are no indications of air or water on the moon. It has twenty-eight mountains higher than Mont Blanc, that monarch of mountains in Europe. The moon's day is twenty-nine and one-half times aslongas ours. Tho sun shines constantly for fifteen days, making a temperaturo like boiling water." Nature reports a very curious telephonic experiment made in Switzerland on the occasion of the federal fete of singers. A telephone had boen placed in the Zurich Festhalle, and two conductors connected with the Bale telegraphic office, where a large audience had congregated. The distance lrem l$le to Zurich is about eighty kilometres. The Bale audience enjoyed the singing about as well as if they had been placed in the upper circle of an ordinary opera house. At the end of the performance they proved their satisfaction by clapping hands, which the telegraphic wires transmitted with perfect fidelity to tho Zurich porformers. CELERY HAL, AI I'KKiSING.

The celery should bo well scraped and cut into small pieces. It. Delmokko. Cold Feet. London Lancet. It is, as we have otten laoorod to show, a mistake to suppose there is any warmth in clothes. Animal heat is the direct result of changes going on within the body itsolf. Nutrition by food and the discharge of energv by exercise are the efficient causes of heat. Clothes 'seem' good and warm be cause they prevent the cold air and objects with a capacity for heat which surround the body from attracting tho heat generated within its organism. Tho clothing is simply an insulator. It follows that it should le light in weight, and above all things that it should permit the free and full circu ation of blood through every part of the system to the end of every finger and toc and that the muscular apparatus of tho extremities should be in perfect working order. If we win wear io-t-covenngs, whether boots or stockings, which compress the feet and ren der the eeparate action of each toe imposible, ltissimplv absurd to expect to be warm footed. Heat is tho complement of work and nutrition, and if a part of the organism is so bound that it can not work, and its sup ply of food is limited, it must bo cold. ' The resort to stouter and heavier clothing under such circumstances is simply ridiculous. Generally it 13 the ßtockings that compress the feet. The garter acts aa a ligature, and diminishes the blood supply, while the stock' ing itself acts as a bandagf, and impedes the circulation through the xtremities. -

KKW.YKAB'S DAY-181.

And drive away each lateut sorrow. Nor let our by -gone cares dissolve The pleasant hopes that bless the morrow. For Time, with her eventful cast, . Like some ill spirit shadows o'er us, And binds in her embrace the Past With all the years t are yet before us. We know not how this year may end On whose swift cur-ent we have started; But let us fondest hopes extend. Nor p-ieve o'er days that are departed. The scenes that blessed our childhood's hours. And gaVe to early life Its mission, r.ut hastened on with varied powers. Our manhood's full aud vain ambition. Maturer years shall follow vet. By still maturer deeds attended. And each some pleasant hopes beget. Until life's wayward course Is ended. Oh, then will each good deed we've done In golden monuments be graven, If our short race be nobly run Until we reach that filial haven. KXFKESSIONS.

Maior (angrilyl: lliou must throw it away Blatter. without pleasure." Fliegende Humor On Headstones. From a recent collection of odd English epitaphs we take the foilowicg: bometimes a pun or play on the name is introduced; such as the epitaph on John YY hi to: llere lit-s John, a shining light, V hum name, lite, actions, all were White. The following was rather epigrammatic than epitaühic, in regard to Kev. John Chest: Beneath this spot lies buried Cue Chest within another; The outer r bet was all that's good. Who aays so of the other? "William Wilton, buried in Lambeth, ccr tainly did not write the epitaph which bears relation to him: Herelieth WW , Who Lever more will trouble you, trouble you. Nor. we may safely assert, did Owen Moore himself pen the following: Owen Mooro is gone away, Owin' more than be could par. In a eravevard at Montrose i3 said to be the following: Here lyes the bodies of George Yonng an I all their posterity For fifty years backwards. And in Wrexham churchyard as follows: Here lies fire babies and children dear, Three at Oswestry, and two here. Akin to this' in logical blundering is: Here lies the remains of Thomm Milsolni, who died in Philadelphia. March, 17-U; Had he live 1 he wuuld have Been buried here. And another at Nettlebcd in Oxfordshire: Here lies father and mother and sitter and I; We all died within the space of one short year; We he all buried at Wimble except I; And 1 be buried here. Others, again, are delightfully circumstan tial, such as that on John Adams: Here lies John Adams, who received a thump, liiht on tl.o furebead from the parish pump. Or a touch of jollity in them, as this from Newberry churchyard: Here lays John, with Mary his bride Tbey lived and they laughed while they were able.

People by scores ad hundreds ride to and from their places of business in the city to their homes in the suburbs or surrounding country year after year. Their faces are weli known and remembered by each other. Not a word, not a nod even, ever passes between them. They sit apparently as insensible to each other as so many wooden statues. With women this social taboo is even stronger emphLsized. 'Miss A. may be longing tor some congenial association among her own f ex during tne trip, lsj ner sits miss ur., who has made tnese trips morning ana evening with Miss An and knows her face as well as that of her father. But never a word do they speak to each other. Both may feel drawn toward each other. Both might prove for the other interesting ac quaintanccs. But this frozen taboo of non intercourse is ipon them. It U aa unwritten

law seldom disobeyed. Both possibly, fear

aaung overtures ior iear ox a repulse, ur Miss A. may discern in Miss U. something which the deems to indicate the measure of the tenth of a degree below her social grade. So the embargo is never raised and the two remain strangers for life. Between the sexes this social taboo is still more strongly enforced. It is so rigidly carried out that a gentleman sometimes fears performing a civilft yto an unknown lady, lest it be taken as one method of officious or presuming overture. For either to open a conversation is generally deemed an action so unconventional as almost to border on an impropriety. So, in our midst, thousands of people in transit sit and stare or mope away minutes and hours of utter tediousness. ThU custom among us, which is broken by but few exceptionaargues a provincial shyness or lack of confidence and courage unworthy a man or woman of the world. People well-poised in their social, mental or moral planes are never afraid of meet ing inferiors or superiors. The acquaint ance and association of a daily half-hour or nour on boat er rail need never extend any further as to time and locality. Indeed, the majority of association might be far more pleasant and profitable were it restricted entirely to these conditions. The sum total of recreation to all might be very great W hy not then, in the cases implied, break our social ice and get what good we can out of each otnerr If we prove bores or are bored let us retreat, accept the failure with equanimity and try to improve our powers of pleasing. This traveling dumb show must be stopped some time or other. It will never be tolerated in the millenium. THE MANAGKMKXr OK MOTS. A Man of Letter, Yfho IIa Two of Them. ICeclte Ilia Methods of Home-Training, and Explains His Success. "You. see," he said, "that I make com panions of my boys, and in governing them make companionship the basis. I like boys in fact I like nothing else so well; and my theory is that by cultivating . a child's acquaintance you get an insicht into his nature, and are thereby enabled to adapt your teaching to his peculiarities." 1 he speaker was a man of letters, wellknown in this city, lie has two interesting boys, aged respectively eleven and eight years. " ""suppose you found that one of your boys had been smoking?" ' Y ell, a short time ago I told one of them that so far as smoking was concerned I should have no objection whatever to his 6moking, if he thought best, after he bejame a man, but that I should object to his doing so until he was of age. I explained to him. that the highest authorities had decided that this practice in youth stunted the growth, im paired the intellectual and physical forces and shortened life by producing or encouraging certain functional troubles that were by this habit developed into something else afterward. Then he said, ! 6hall not smoke until after I am twenty-one, and not then if I think it hurts me.' 1 have since found out that vigorous efforts have bern made by other boys to induce him to smoke, without success." 'My boys," I observed, "every now and then, especially after returning from Sunday-school, ask for categori information with respect to various theological dogmas, which I am entirely unable to give them. They want to know if certain things that have been taught them are true, but in my prosentjstato of mind I don't know whether theso are true or not. What's a man to do? Is he to make agnostics of his children at once, or is he to be insincere and a liar?" "I make it a rule," he replied, "never to tench dogmatically anything which I don't believe. I make it a rule never to teach my boys dogmatically anything which I don't regard as demonstrable. I give them fact3. If I don't know clearly what to think bout a matter I tell them frankly that I don't know, and then I give them the common teaching and mv own opinion of it; but I instruct them tiiat 'iny opinions are by no means infallible; that opinions rest upon evidence, and that by ana by they must gather and weigh all such evidence lor them selves. I talk to a boy of mine as frankly upon a theological subject as upon anything elso as upon the question, for instance. whether or not the city of Berlin is the largest steamer tbat comes to this port. If he asked me that question I should say that I did not know; that I had heard that the Citv of Berlin and one or two others were the largest, but whether she was larger than theothcrs I could not say. Then i would toll him that I had a friend who could give him exact information about steamships, and that I would give him that friend's address in ca.?e he should wish to obtain definite information. But I don't let him think that I know what, in fact, I do not know.'' "liul m cases where exact information is not obtainable?" "In those cases I tell him that it is not obtainable, at the same time assuring him that I may be mistaken in the matter. I give him all the information that is accessible, but I never want him to think that the sub ject is exhausted; and I try to leave the question open for future discussion, so that his mind is tree to think healthily about tho matter in the future. I don t want aim when he has gown up evir to look back upon anything and say: . Iy father showed there a want of respect for truth.' Further, I don t want him ever to get into bis own mind any lack of reverence for truth, from an observation of lack of fcuch reverence on my part. I warA him to see that 1 ha7e never told him as truth anything which was not true, and that I have never told as true things which I merely had reason to suppose might be true." "Boys sometimes pick up baa woras irom . a . 1 m street boys, and the first thing you know they arc ventilating their acquisitions upon their nurses or mothers. Well. I tell my bov that as a gentle man's son he is under obligations to himself to be better ar.d decenter in hi" life and habits than the boys in the streets are; and I have explained to him tbat swearing ana blackguardism generally are wholly un worthy of a gentleman. A boy who has a gentlewoman for a mother and a gentleman for a father ought not (1 tell uimi to act as a boy would who had been brought up in a stable." 'Your boys don't read dimo novels sur reptitiously V" "That is hardly conceivabie." "Wbv?" "Because from their earliest childhood thev have alwavs regarded me as their b friend and most intimate confidant. They conceal nothiner from me. because they are not afraid of me. 'Of course vou do not encourage cither of them to report to you the peccadilloes of the other?" "No. My whole theory and practice of education and government wiin oom my havn has been to develoo manliness and to net un in their minds as an ideal a typo manlv frankness, truthfulness, courage and purity. I have discouraged everything that militated against this, eneour fP.d evervthin? that worked for it, and generally in everything I have done I have eiven them the reason in order that they might understand what I was trying to make out of them and work with me to the same end.

Perhaps your boys are exceptionally gocd boys?" J "Not at all. There is not a trait of the prig in either of them." "They have in their lives done what you would call bad things like other bovs?'" "Yes, and I regard their bad conduct as I do a bad cold, and I have tried to cure it as I would a cold, because it would hurt them, and I have taught them to look at it in the same way " "Do your boys ever fight each other?" "Yes, a good deal." "What do you do?" "I interfere and stop the fight. I treat that as another bad cold." "Why not let them fight it out?" "Because I don't think the indulgence in passion is good for them."' "If they were twins would you let them fight it out?" "No; they see enough of fighiing in the streets." "What would you do if some street boys had an altercation with them?"' "I have taught them that they must not violate a street boy's rights in any way. but that self-defense is a right of theirs, and that vney must exercise n.

'Because that big boy will be waiting for you in the lot. I don't caie, he replied; 'I "am not going to be driven from one street to another.' These streets are public. I am going to como the usual way.' 'Well,' said his mother, 'Whut if te attacks you?' 'I will lay down my books and fight him ' The street boy did attack him and got him down. My boy wriggled until he got his legs free, and then by vigorous kicking brought his adversary to reason. Then he brushed his clothes, picked up his books, came home and said to his mother: '"ow I shan't have any trouble.
