BIRDS OF PASSAGE.

WHen swallows were building la early spring And the roes were red in Jane: When, the grea white lilies wer fair and sweet. In the" ,J the August noon; Wh- rlDil' were blowlcg the yellow wheat, -r"Se son of the harvest nigh. And the beautiful world Uy calm and sweet, la the joy of the cloudless sxy Then the swtllowa wore foil of flad oontent In the hope of their northern nest; Were sure that the land they were tarrying la Of all other lands was the best. Ah If they bad heard la those blissful days The Voice they must heed say, "Ho" They had left their nest with a teen regret And tnelr llight ha 1 been sad and slow. But when summer was gone and flowers were dead. , And the brown leaves fell with a slRh, And they watched the an setting every day Further on in the northern say, Tnea tue Voice was iweet when It bid them Go." They were eas-er for southward flight. And they beat their wings to a new born hop When they went at the morning ligut. IX the way was long-, yet the way wss glad. And they brighter and brighter grew. As they dipped tnelr wings In the glowing heat. As they still to the louiaward flew; Till they found the land of the summer tun. The land were the nightingale slug. And joj fully rested 'mid rose and aocg Their beautiful weary wings. Like swallowa we wander from home to noma We are birds of passage at beatIn many a spot we have dwelt awhile. We have ballt ns many a nest. But the heart of the Father will touch out liearts. He will peak to us soft and low, We shall follow the voice to the better land. And its bliss and Its beauty know. TABLK GOSSIP. The secret of Saints was love. Lacordaire. "Women are mcst perfect -when most womanly. Gladstone. No wine or other intoxicating drink was upon the table at Governor Cleveland's first state dinner. During the last ten years we have sold $1,205 804,761 more than we have bought from foreign Nations. Girl graduates in England wear gowns precisely like these worn by university men, and made by the tame tailor. To indulge in ridicule, whethor tbe sub ject be present er absent, is to descend below the level of gentlemanly propriety. Your skill may excite laughter, but it will not insure respect. In "Washington the cry of the horse-car passenger is: "No seat, no fare;" :ut a lady who is not blessed with the fatal gift of beauty affirms it as her belief that in a crowded car the gentlemen's maxim Is: 'Not fair, no seat."

It is suggested, since the bestowal of dec. orations upon servants who have kept their situations for a ereat while, that a similar recognition should be conferred upon the masters and mistresses who retain their ser vants for an unusual period. Among the alleged lords of creation the tight trousers,. cut-away coat, high collars and much carved Derby hat is the prevailing "every day fashion," and the spring does) not promise anything new or startling in the line 01 masculine oatnt. "My son," says the Burlington Hawkeye, "when you hear a man growling and scold ing all the while because, as he says. Moody gets $200 a week for preaching Christianity, you will observe that he never worries a minute because Ingersoll gels $500 or $1,000 a night for preaching atheism. ' The archives of Darmstadt show the ex pense of executing criminals in the four teenth century: Boiling a criminal in oil twenty-four florins; burning him alive was fourteen florins; to break him on the wheel was six; banging him was ten, and brand ing him on the shoulder or forehead, or cutting off his ears or nose, was five florins. Gustave Dore's name was originally 'Dorer," a genuine and - not nnfrequent German name. Born at Strasburg, he consequently hailed from the old German stock of Alsace. In spite of the Frenchiflcation of his name, Dore's Teutonic blood showed itself characteristically in his illustrations of German fairy tales and weird myths. A commission was sent by Japan to give a report of the influence of Christianity upon morals in England. After eighteen mouths of London life the decision was 'that Christianity had less restraint over crime, and especially drunkenness, than Buddhism or the religion of Shinto, so the public religion of Japan will remain unchanged. A contributor to Fuck say: "In one gutter I saw a pig, in the other the semblance of a man. The pig was sober, the man was drunk. The pig had a ring in his nose, the other animal had one on his flncer. The pig crusted, so did the man. And I said aloud, 'We are known by the company we keep,' and the pig grunt and walked away, ashamed to be seen in the company of a drunkes man. ' "When a rase of women arises so sweet, so wise, so strong, that the race of men they bear and rear must wear forever on their plastic brains and souls the woman's mental and spiritual seal, women will command, through their natures and by their own wis dorn, the things thay want, and they will want more and greater than they do to-day, and speeches and conventions will no longer be necessary.

A crowd collected around and attempted to take the dog off, supposing it would hurt him; but the stranger said: Let him alone he is my dog. 1 have been on a sproe at Bowie, and the dog pull ed me out of a saloon there and mace me sober up." The stranger left without his drink, accompanied by his l&itniui aog. RELIGIOUS IMTELLIOOCE AND INCI DENT. 'Sacred Sunday concerts" are not permit ted in Philadelphia. There are estimated to be 12,000,000 Hetrews scattered over the world. The Methodists are preparing to establish a University in East Tennessee. Brooklyn has 2S5 Churches to a popula tion of 6C6.C89, or one Church to every 1.6S8 persons. An Iowa town of 1,300 inhabitants is en deavoring to maintain twelve Church or ganizations. The London Mail says that the Old Testament Company has completed its second revision. Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn says that the late "W. E. Dodge spent the first hour of every morning in reading the Bible and in pray ing. The number of native Hindoos who are now members of Christian churches is near ly 539,000. In ten years the increase has been 85 per cent. At the opening of this century all Protes tant Christendom expended annually only $2o0.0G0 lor foreign missions. It now ex pends $7,500,000 annually. The Iter. Mr. Skeats, in hü new English dictionary, says that the word "Gcd" is of unknown origin, and that it has been incorrectly connected conjocturally with the word "good." The Kav. Mr. Fortin, of "Winnipeg, said with reference to Sunday trains on the Can ada Pacific Hallway: "Better ride to Ileaven in a Bed ltiver ox cart than go to Hades in a palace sleeper." It ia said that a minister in a country kirk in Scotland stopped in the course ot his sermon to ask a member who vm iomewtatMcaf f'Are je hearing, John?" 'Oh, aye," was the response, ''I am hearing, but to verra little purpose.'' A small boy in South Carolina raises canary birds and gives the proceeds of their sale to the Board of Foreign Misions. In three years this enterprising and benevolent young person has thus gathered and given about one Luna red dollars. An English bishop querulously remarked to his servant that he was dying. "Well, my lord," said the good fellow, 4,you are going to a better place. John," replied the prelate, with an air of conviction, "there is no place like oid .England.' A small lake which i said to be the source of the Mississippi Biver, instead of Lake ltaska,as commcnly supposed, has been named Lake "Whipple, after Bishop Whip ple of the Episcopal Church, whose missionary diocese covers all that region. An antiquated preacher of the Free Kirk of Scotland, in a sermon referring to the introduction of an organ into a neighboring Latablished Church, declared that "soon they would get a conceit every Sabbath in the old Kirk. The devil would have his bandmaster thsre to discourse music to (rlom Aft fVlA AFffOfl SinA t ft A iTsi Tf in 1 J Va a euv axa vu uv va wuva sv 'W j - a aa7 (a cursed pirate, would hoist his false colors to lure souls to destruction." This is the greeting which a Texas paper extends to a new pastor: 'The Bev. Mr. Glass, the preacher for the ensuing year, has come, lie has pretty good clothes, doubtless purchased with means saved by systematic starvation from his salary of last year, for he looks a little lank. It is, perhaps, quite proper that the worl,' and especially his Church members, should take his good clothes into consideration and dead beat the Lord this year. There is nothing more to be appreciated than "free re ligion." How Animals Practice Medicine. I British Medical Journal. M. Delaunay, in a recent communication to the Biographical Society, observed that medicine, as practiced by animals, is thoroughly empirical, but that the same may be said of that practiced by inferior human races, or, in other words by the majority of the human species. Animals instinctively choose such food as is best fuited to them. M. Dal&unay maintains that the human race also shows this instinct, and blames medical men for cot paying sufficient respect to the likes and dislikes ol the patients, which he believes to be a guide that may be depended on. Women are more often hungry than men. and they do not like the same kind of food; nevertheless, in asylums for aged poor, men and women are put on precisely the same regimen. Infants scarcely weaned are given a diet suitable to adults, meat and wine, which they dislike and which disagree with thorn. M. Delaunay investigated this question in the different asylums of Paris, and ascertained that children do not like meat before they are about five years of age. People who like salt, vinegar, etc , ought to be allowed to satisfy their tastes. Lorain always taught that with regard to food, people's likings are the bei t guide. A large numbsr of animals ash themselves and bathe, as elephants, stags, birds, and ants. M. Delaunay lays down as a general rule that there is not any species of animals which voluntarily runs the risk of inhaling emanations arising frrm their own excrement. Some animals defecate far from their habitations; others bury their excrement; others carry to a distance the excrement of their young. In this respect they show more foresight than man, who retains for years excrement in stationary cesspools, thus originating epidemics. If we turn our attention to the question of reproduction, we shall tee that all mammals suckle their young, keep them clean, wean them at the proper time, and educate them; but these maternal instincts are frequently rudimentary in women of civilized nations. In fact, man may take a lesson in hygiene from the lower animals.

Animals eet rid of their parat its by using

dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suffering from fever restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek darkness and airy place, drink water, aad sometimes even plunge into it. When a dog has loit its appetite it eats that species of grass known as dog's grass (chiendent), which acts as an emetic and purgative. Cats also eat grass. Sheep and cows, when ill seekout certain herbs. When dogs are constipated they eat fatty substances, such as oil and butter, with avidity, until they are purged. The same thing i observed in horses. An animal suffering from chronic rheumatism always keeps as far as possible in the sun. The warrior ants have regularly organized ambalancea. Latreille cut the antennas of an ant, and other ant came and covered the wounded part with a trans parent fluid secreted from their mouths. If a chimpanzee be wounded, it stops the bleeding by placing its hied on the wound, or dressing it with leaves and grass. When an animal has a wounded leg or arm hang ing on, it completes the amputation by means of its teeth. A do on being stung in the muzzle by a Tiper was obterved to plunge its head repeatedly for several days into running wa ter. This animal eventually recovered. A sporting dog was run over by a carriage. Daring three weeks in winter it remained lying in a brook, where its food was taken ti it; the animal recovered. A terrier dog hurt its right eye, it remained lying under a connter, avoiding light and heat, although habitually it kept close to the fire. It adopted a general treatment, rest and abstinence from food. The local treatment consisted in licking the upper striaco of the paw, which it applied to the wounded eye, again licking the paw when it became dry. Cats also, when hurt, treat themselves by this simple methed of continuous irrigation. M, Dalaunay cites the case of a cat which remained for some time lying on the bank of a river; also that of another cat which had the singUar fortitude to remain for forty-eight hours under a jet of cold water. Animals suffering from traumatic fever treat themselves by the continued application of cold, which II. Ddlaunay considers to be more certain than any of the other methods. In view of these interesting facts, we are, he thinks, forced to admit that hygiene and therapeutics, as practised by animals, may, in the interests of psychology, be studied with advantage, lie could go even further, and say that veterinary medicine, and perhaps human medicine, could gather from them some useful indications, precisely bacause they are prompted by instinct, which are efficacious in the preservation of the re storation of health. GROWTH AFX-KR DEATH. Several Bemarltable Case Cited from "The Acts or Leipslc." St Louis Globe-Democrat J "In the year 1719 a woman wai interred at Nuremberg in a wooden coffin, painted black, according to the custom of the country. The earth wherein her body was deposited was dry and yellow, as it is for the most part in tho environs of the city. Of three bodies buried in the same grave, this woman's was laid deepest in the ground. In 1761, there being occasion to make room for a fourth body, the grave was dug up anew. To the surprise of the digger when he had removed the two uppermost coffins, he perceived a considerable quantity of hair that had made its way through the crevices of the coffin. The lid being removed, there appeared a perfect resemblance of a human figure, the eyes, note, mouth, ears and all parts being very distinct; but from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet it is covered with very long, thick and frizzled hair. The gravedigger, after examining it for some time, happened to touch the upper part of the head. To his surprise the entire body began at onco to shrink, and at last nothing remained in his hand but a mass of rough hair, which insensibly assumed a brownishred color." The learned Honoratus (Lib. 3, De PlanUs) and several other authors are of opinion that hair, wool, feathers, nails, horns, teeth, etc., are nothing but vegetables, if such be so we need not be surprised to find them growing on bodies of animals after death, a circumetance that has occasionally been observed. Peter Borellus pretends that these productions may bo transplanted as vegetables, and may grow in a different place from that where they first gernr'na ted. ' He cites in some observations on the subject, among other examples, that of a tooth drawn out and transplanted. In the "Philosophical Collections" of Mr. Hooke, it is, I believe, stated on the authority of a gentleman named Arnold, that a man hanged at Tyburn for theft was found shortly after his removal from the gallows to be ''covered over in a very extraordinary manner with hair." In a letter addressed by Dr. Bartholiee to Möns. Sach, which is inscribed in the "Acts of Copenhagen," occur the following words: ''I do not know whether you ever observed that the hair which in people when living was black or eray, after their death, in dig ging up their graves or opening the vaults where they lie, is found changed to a fair or flaxen color, so that their relations can scarce know them again by such a mark. The change is produced undoubtedly by the hot and concentrated vapors which are ex haled from the dead bodies. "Richard dkbumbi. "No. 26 Telworth Square, Chelesa.' I remember hearing the following story: During the Crimean war an officer well known for his fine beard died or was killed in action. He was buried wrapped in his blanket; a little while afterward his body was exhumed for some reason, and it was said that his beard had grown through his blanket. There is no need to go as far as the Vatican library to see a head of hair of the Boman period, as in the fine museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society at York there is the hair of a young lady coiled in the modern fashion, into which are stuck iet Dins, found ia a sarcophagus during the erection of a new railway station at York.

This is from the cynical old bachelor of the Boston Globe: "Love, we know, is blind. And sometimes we think it is well he is." An exchange calls those maidens who are vain and silly enough to wear artificial complexions ''landscape girls," because they paint nature in three colors. The Philadelphia Record has come to the conclusion that moles, freckles and warts do not detract from a woman's beauty. Thatls right, old man. An editor who won't praiBe his own wife now and then is a mean man. . In addressing a Sunday school awhile sgo, a speaker said to the boys: "Always be kind to your little sisters. Now, I never had a little sister, and once I tried to be kind to some other fellow's sister, but she has a cruel father, and he hurt me helping me off the front steps." "No girl," says a female correspondent of a Chicago paper, "ought to think of marrying until she possesses the proper qualifications to make a good wife.' True, true. Ho girl should over think of having a lover until she can ru a sewing machine with one foet and rock the cradle with the other.

The following anecdote is related of Pius IX.: An eastern bishop who had attended the Vatican caancil went to take leave of the holy father and asked for his blessing. The Pope, himself scrupulously clean, was shocked at the unwashed appearance of tho Oriental, and atked if it was certain that the bishop did not understand Italian. Being assured of this, he is said to have given the benediction in the words: "Uely and dirty as thou art, I bless thee." "You must have heard some eocd news. you look so happy." Yes, I have heard some good news. The fortune-teller says that I am to marry a wealthy English reer, and become a Maid of Honor to Queen Victoria." ''How about your hus band and the twins? Are they going to be Maids of lionor, tool" - well, l declare!" said the incipient Maid of Honor, "I forget all about them. 1 thought I was a distressed widdy, and the fortune teller fixed the cards for a widdy. That spiles the whole lav-out." Obeys the Bible. lArkansaw Traveler. ""Why do you take the lonjr real home uncle Abe?" was asked of a colored preacher. "Case de iiibie commands it, sah."

What Borneo Might Have Done. The Spectator.) Here we have one of Mrs. Kemble's contracts. Romeotis said to be the love of sentiment, and Juliet's that of passion. To us this seems a distinction without a difference. That love is of deepest and strongest which makes no out sign, which is content to suffer, to work, nay, to be forgotten by its object. But the love of sentiment or passion betrays itself in such words and acts as are recorded both of Romeo and Juliet. We are not at all sure 'that if Borneo were to marry Juliet, and live, say, in Hertford street, May fair, he would not be found three months after his marriage plajing billiards at his club, instead of sharing his wife's company. A Kindly Man. I Brooklyn Eagle.1 A young physician informed a pretty lady patient, who was suffering from chronic sore throat, that the only sure cure for it was a beard. "That's of no interest to me," she replied. "I've got no beard." "True," he replied, gallantly, "but you can use mine ai often as you want to." They were married a few months later. A Pleture to the 1JX. f Franklin Press. Take a young man. a tall young man with a small hat, a long face, a lengthy neck, a short body, a pair of lang slim legs, with arms to match, and both arms and legs largest at the extremities, put him in a Seymour coat, encase his legs in seelskin pantaloons, with sufficient bow in the legs to give passing glimpses between them of the mashed and astonished world that lies ahead of him as he walks; cram his flat feet into pointed shoes; tie an eyeglass to his lappel; give him a delicate mustache and cane to play with and if there be a err and er sight under the canopy of heaven, we haven t got time to think it up. Perhaps a monkey with a tin tail comes nearest to the phenomenon. How He Proposed. JHome Jouanal. ) Madge writes to Amy in Truth : I have really a bit of news for you this week. Evelvn is engaged to be married, and the wedefingisto come off either in April or J une, Tbe happy man is something or other: good-looting, rmd well off. I asked

her to tell me how he proposed, for I am always curious to know how it ii done. Are you not? I often look at a man and think.

1 can net imagine you as a suiter for a woman's hand," and wonder how in the world he ever got over the difficulty of the necessary proposal; or, if unmarried, how he will get over it. Evelyn would cot tell me for a long time, but only laughed and blushed, till at last I gently insinuated that the momentous question mut have come from her, as she was so reticent about it. Then, in her indignation, she told me. There was a certain flavor of comedv about it, though it was not quite so bad as the proposal that Anthony Trollope put into the mouth of Mary Thome's lover: "Do you? Don't you? WillyouT Won't you?" It seems that Frank Maud and I have quite adopted him at a cousin-in-law already was one of a dinner-party at Evelyn hcuse last Tuesday, and after dinner they were looking over a book of sketches together. Evelyn observed that Frank seemed excessively uncomfortable, and she guessed what wa3 coming, and pitied-the poor fellow so much that she tried to help him out. So, when they came to a sketcn of a pretty cottage, she saidairily, "Just the realization of my dream R a true home! I should like to live the rest of my life in a cottage like that quite alone I" "Alone, Miss Grey! "Without even the proverbial adjunct?" "Oh!" rejoined Evelyn. "You refer to 'love in a cottage' do you?" And then she turned away her head a little bit. and the thing was done. Prank wss over the fence. He said, in a verv Lw voice. "Evelyn! Do you think you could ?" That was all the spoken part, thoueh the rest, I believe, was very interesting. Frank has since admitted that Evelyn's lead was of the greatest use to him; that he had tried to propoefl to her more than once before, and might still have left the great question unasked but for the assistance she gave him. What a serious thing, Amy! There may be dozens of amiable men at this moment drifting into dreary old bachelorhood tor the want of a little timely help at an opportune moment. Poor fellow! why does not some one eetablieh classe;, both for men and girls, and teach the former the easier methods of approaching the important sub ject, and the latter how they may best as sist thenar A girl sometimes enubs a man out of pure shyzees, and as the members cf the sterner sex are great cowards in this matter, they often run away, though not with the intention of fighting another day. Charlie says that women frequently propose to men. Clergymen are more harassed than any other men by this sort of pen ecution. Their lady parishioners are perpetually finding out that they are tbe '-intellectual affinities" of their unlucky pastor. After all we have three precedents to justify such action, if we should ever feel inclined to follow them. The Queen propesed to Prince Albert (how prettily she tells the story in the "LifV); Baroness BurdettCoutts took the initiative; aüd so did Ma. dame de Lesseps, then MademeUelle de Praga. For a girl of nineteen, the latter showed uncommon courage, though the gentleman was sixty years old. Edwin Booth will occupy during the coming season the villa which is now being finished on the ten acre plot of ground pur chased by him last year at Newport.

TEXAS. More About the Coming Empire State of the Sontli. Tbe Prohibition Amendment Tbe Texas Legislature Immigration Texas Pacific Arkansas and Texas, Etc. AcßTix, March 3. Texas never dees anything by halves. If she donates lands it is by thousands and millions of acres. If she is Democratic it is by a pronounced majority. If for free trade, it is in earnest and without mental reservation. If the individual is a wool grower or a sugar maker he has equally pronounced views for protection. There is just that diversity of views in Texas that there is in any other State, but with all this contrsriety of opinion there is a wonderful harmony in the disposition to be Democratic. THE PE0HIBITI0K AMK5DMKNT passed the House by a majority, but net a two-thirds majority, which is the Constitutional requirement Colonel Chambers, the member from Lavant County (Fort North), says there is one form in which the amendments could co through by a strong vote, and it is like this: "Prohibit the manufac ture, importation and sale of all intoxicating liquors, except for medicinal, mechanical, scientific religious and legislative purposes." Buch an amendment the uolonel thinks would be unanimously approved. THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE is a working body, industriously putting in their time; and well they may when we remember that nearly 2,000 bills, resolutions. etc., have been presented this session. The school laws, school lands and the railroads are the leading questions before the lawmaking body, and up to this late hour of the session no final action has been taken except the positive withdrawal of tbe school lands from the market. After the expiration of sixty days the legislator's per diem is $2 per day. How long the session may continue on patriotism and this commuted pay remains to be teen. The imnortant act of this session is the one relating to ttS public land It effects spec ulators, traders, dealers and men seeking homes. The present status cf the question is this: All public lands are withdrawn from market for ninety days. This is done to allow a new appraisement Heretofore lands having . permanent water were $2 per acre, and nnwatered lands $1 per acre. Now the Legislature proposes that watered lands shall be $5 per acre, and nnwatered lands $2 per acre.

When the weather is cold and the wind severe, the timber constitutes a protection to the cattle and is a "shelter" when the sun is hot. I could not decide for any one as between Arkansas ard Texas.

Bow lie Intended to Eat Hack wheat Cakes With M rs. Sickles When Key otm bot. Pittsburg Commercial Gazette j James Buchanan, when President had a very narrow escape from being mixed up in tbe Sickles-Key rcandaL When Buchanan was Minister to England tickles was his Secretary of Legation. Mrs. Sickles was from Pennsylvania, and was one of Buchan an's Dets. He thought t much of her as he would of his own daughter. When he became President, Buchanan was very intimate With the Sickles family. Whenever be was tired he had tbe habit of slipoiDC out of the White House and walkinu through Layfayette Park for a chat with General Sickles and his wife. Tbe da? before Key was shot was Saturday. Satuiday morning Mrs. Sickles came over to the White House and called upon the President. Bucharan was verv fond of buckwheat cakes. Mia. Sickles called rn him to tell him that she had' re ceived some very nice buckwheat Sour from Pennsylvania, and that she was going to have some hot cakes for their Sunday breakfast at tbe Sickles residence. She invited the President to come over to breakfast He, beguiled by bis love for the heated slapjack, rapturously consented. Harriet Lane was then mistress of the White House. When the heard of tbe invitation ehe advised the Pres ident not to go. At that time Washington Bocieiy unaersiooa tne nature c-i the intrigue being carried on between Key and Mrs. Sickles. General Sickles and Buchanan were the last two men to hear of the scan dal. Miss Lane was asked by tbe President tn give a reason for declining to go to tbe breakfast Said ehe: "I do not care to give my reason. Act upon my judgment and you will decline." Buchanan was more impressed by her manner than by her word?. When the tragedy took place Buchanan fairly Bbuddered at his escape. If he had been at the breakfast he would have been with Mrs. Sickles at the time cf the hoot ing of Key. The world would have be lieved him one of Mrs. Sickles' lovers, and he would have been dragged into the scan dal beyoud all hope of escape. Mr. J. M. Farron, LoganHport, was currd of chills and fever of fire years' standing by lirown s iron isitter. J. L. Mitchell. Attorney for Plaintiff. STATE OF INDIANA. Marion County, w.
