A Husband’s Cruel Crime.

A Rhode Island lady who was in the habit of taking large quantities of the tincture of iron found great benefit from the medicine, but also incurred large bills at the apothecary’s, which her husband found it rather difficult to meet. Instead of brutally cutting off her medicinal supplies, this ingenious and humane man conceived the plan of manufacturing tincture of iron in the secrecy of his own woodshed. He therefore procured a paiL placed in it two pounds of old iron nails, three drahms of iron barrel-hoops and four scruples of miscellaneous iron. To this he added one gallon of aqua yuan, and stirred the mixture with a pitchfork three times a day for a week. At the end of that time hedrew off the water with a siphon, placed it in pint bottles and iabelea n “2TneL Fen. Use as directed.” Hk wife took his home-made tincture without any suspicion that it was not purchased at the apothecary’s and derived all the benefit from it which she had derived from the apothecary's own tincture. Although she had been Afflicted for several months with extreme weakness, her strength revived under the influence of the tincture to such an extent that at the end of three weeks, when she accidentally caught her husband in the act of filling her bottle from in the woodshed, she was able to lift a heavy pitchfork, and, after wielding it with mat vigor for ten minutes, to assist the hired man ia dragging her husband into the house, where she subsequently applied arnica and brown paper to nearly two-thirds of his entire •onsoa. —Chicago boasts of a woman that has hair seven feet long.

123On the Briak.

Am m MTW 1 mked*fbr V*Ssltor farter own poor emaciated aad absolutely woreout frame. Bhs did not wait under tbs fltnVjHnff rrmm Wit Ihfii to U 6 the step of the mansion and deposit her treasure there and then steel around.the comer to wait ibr the hand of God to touch the head of charity, and take the homelem one on* of the shadow. One might have found some kind of an exemw for this utterly homelem woman if ete had strangled the only living thing thet was lefther to lore—the only thing which to her was untainted—the on ly thing that existed to her to remind her thl °F**. 1 °?g: cenee. For her own life was so deeply buried under hopelessness and rin and misery that it is impossible lobe charitable enough to think that ahehadtte slightest recollection of her childhood. But her mother’s instinct remained. No storm ever washes that sway: no bitterness ever chßla it; no ingratitude ever hardens it It ie one of the typea which tea been given to men to prove the existence of* God. and it is higher sad holier, and contains s stronger appeal to prompt men to better things than ail of the theology and theories that can be dug out of the bible. She kiaeed it, and talked to it, and called it by some tender names. Maybe she sang to H a scrap of a cradle-tong. Beveral times she stopped passers-by and offered them the child, provided they would be kind to it ana she coaid come to it and love it Bat the passers-by had no time to consider her exactions, or else they had flowers of their own to care for and bestow their affections upon. Once a man did consider her appeal, looked at the lace of the child, which did not even then have a trace of reproach upon it, and questioned the woman. But she turned back from him, and walked away with her idol as if she could not give it an. She went down to the river, and walked nnder the shadow* of the naked masts that lined its decks like ghastly things in want. The night overhead was not ao cheerless as to be without its “grove of stars,” and these unwound their silver threads until they seemed to trail in the water and play with the lispings of the waves. But there was nothing else in the shadows except the church-steeples and the mansions of a city, and these were left untouched by the glow of the starlight, and contained no empty cradles. Once the woman untied the excuse of a bonnet she wore, and polled down her hair. She pressed the treasure in her arms and kissed it again. Then she came cloeer to the water, and looked into its depths. She turned back, coiled her hair, ana turned her face again to the streets. She met an officer, ana told him she was a vagrant. He hesitated as to his duty as a policeman, and then the duty of manhood came to him, and at the risk of being discharged, for an act of charity, by his chief he took the child in his own arms and led the wrecks of a life to the Madison street station, where be presented them to the captain, who also risked his position at headquarters, by sheltering two things, one of which was pitiful and the other helpless. This woman has been stripped of a fortune in lees than two year* by a trio of hardened wretches. She has been abducted and left utterly penniless upon the Canadian bolder. She has been chased from garret to cellar by a few men who, having robbed her of all that a home possessed; besides raining her daughter, who is at the bridewell to-day, have hnnted her -ight and day, in order to get her oat of reach of the court before which they will shortly appear. They have dragged her up ana compelled her to sign &D planner of documents which criminate herself They have used every device to steal her child. They have so poisoned the mind of her daughter that she curses the poor old wreck of a mother whenever they meet. Thev have made overtures to certain officials to have her sent out of the city. Maybe if they had made these overtones at the ‘‘proper place” and in the “proper manner they might hove succeeded. And now she is the most helpless and apparently God-forsaken creature that exists in the city. Bat this child, this waif that is being nursed in the shadows and under the mists of night, —“which is the proof of God, of etermty, and the duality of destiny” as some one has said, —forms one of those pictures of sorrow which are curtained by the darkness of evecy great city, which touch the chords of sympathy, and which make people question the Adore, and tremble

Lassos la War.

The Millenium has not come yet, though, in spite of all appearances to the contrary, we believe it is coming. Men are busier than ever in devising destructive Implements o£. war, and mutual slaughter is not merely a trade, but a science. It used to be said that, in proportion to the deddly character of the weapons of war. the slaughter of men became agually leas, and the duration of the conflict was correspondingly shortened. In the days that are passing over OS this is but partially true. No doubt with telegraphs and railways, it is scarcely possible to protract wars as they used to be when George 111. was king. Still when the combatants are pretty well matched, the tussle may last a good while, and the slaughter be enormous. In the course of the campaign recently closed in Turkey, the lives of not less, than 200,000 men have been lost, while a very large number have had their Hvea shortened by the hardships they have passed through and the wounds they have received.. This is a higher rate of casualties than prevailed in the FrancoPruarian conflict, though in the latter (double the number of contestants were engaged. It is much higher also than what was usual in the Napoleonic wars. It used to be said in the days of “Brown Bess,” that for eveiy man killed his weiriit in lead had been shot avnty. Modern science has made that a mere tradition of the olden time. In one asaault on Plevna, the Russian War Office admitted a loss of 8.000 kiHed, and 16,000 wounded, though perhaps there were not more than thirty or forty thousand engaged. In other words, in that oneunsucceesftil assault the losses of one of the combatants exceeded the total of killed, wounded, and missing on both sides at the world-fiuned battle of Austeriits, and very nearly equalled the whole French loss at Gravektte. Even in the four day’s fight at Leipric, in which 471,000 men were engaged, the percentage of loss for all the four was not so great as in this assault at Plevna. Hie slaughter is evidently very greatly increased by improvement in weapons. It is not so evident that the time of hostilities is being correspondingly shortened. Yet, after all, we cannot despair of the good time being bare by-and-by. “If* oomln rot a* ts tlmL Wfcon smb to man the world owtr Bttmll brothers bo and a UiaL”

Maud looked after him and sighed as she thought, “The judge is just the kind Of a man I’d like to tie to. Dress? I reckon not! I’d haves new gown every day, and two on Sunday. And data should wear store clothes; and brother Sam should have a helmet hat” How about the judge as he rode sway? Was he filled with a “vague unrest T* Certainly he was. He wanted to adjourn court sint die, and although a little past the hay day of his youth, going a haying with Mand from that time out But his feelings Mauderated when he thought of his sisters, who were society ladies, and what they and the fashionable world generally woold have to say about it 80 he kept on his way, and he opened coart that afternoon same as usuaLonly the lawarTold love song/% winging la theLane!^ The judge got elected to the bench again, and then he was elected for lifo in another Way—he married a wealthy but cold-hearted lady who moved (every spring) in the first circles, and who only accepted him because she thought ft would sound well to be spoken of in the society column of the newspapers as “Mrs. Judge 80-and-8o.” And sometime* when the judge was taking a drink of old rye, all by himself in nia study, he wished that Mand could step in with a little of that meadow spring water to mix with It. Maud got married, too. She married the hired man in a check shirt whom the judge saw mowing in another part of the field. True, she loved the judge more than she could any mower she ever saw, and would continue to until time should be no mower, but as she couldn’t have him and was fearful that there woold be no mower offers, why she clinched on to the hired man. But Maud wasn’t happy either, for she couldn’t help thinking now different her life would have been as Mrs. Judge. She thought so much on the subject teat she oarne finally to believe that the judge had reallv proposed to her, and she had refused him. And when she got into a row with her husband she would throw it up to him, saying:' “If I bad'nt married yoo aod sot stack In this pen, rd beeif much better off, torlmiffht a had Bn.” Which was the Judge’s front name.

Curioas Facts About Blind Tom.

Blind Tom’s birthplace is Georgia, and he began to excite attention as a musician at the age of four yean. All sounds afforded him delight; even the crying of a child canned him to dance about in a state of ecstacy. When at home he often bit and pinched his brothers and sisters to make them emit cries of pain. If kept away from a piano, he would beat Against the wall, drag chairs about the room, and make all sorts of noises. When in London a flute was produced for him of a very complicated pattern, and having twenty-two keys. He frequently rises up at night and plays this Instrument. imitating upon it all sorts of sounds which he may hear at the time. Once, when the agent attempted to make him stop playing a piano in a high-toned hotel at three orclock in the morning, Torn seised him and threw him through the door. In Washington he threw a man down stairs who came in his room. When at home in Georgia he lives in a building about two hundred yards from the house, and there remains alone with his piano, playing all day and night, like one pouposped with madness. Bad weath er has an effect upon his music. In cloudy, rainy seasons, he plays sombre music in minor chord; and when the Ison shines and the birds sing he indulges in waitae* and light marie. Sometimes he will hammer away for hours, producing the most horrible discord imaginable. Suddenly a change comes over him and he indulges in magnificent bursts of harmony taken from the best productions of the masters.

Cause sad Care for Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly tells how the habit of snoring is acquired and, better—how it may be cured. And, first, the cause : The air reaches the lungs through two channels, the nose ana the month. The two currents meet in the throat below the soft of the palate, the end of which hangs loose and swings backward and forward, producing the snoring. If the air reaches tha tongs, aa it should through the nose, no noise will be made. If it reaches the same through the month, the palate will make more noise, since it is not the natural channel, bat when it rushes through both these channels, then it is that the sound'sleeper banishes rest from the pillows of his companions by his hideous pose Dr. Wyeth, the writer of the article referred to, has invented an article so cheap that any one can make it* and no snorer should be without it It consists of a single cap, fitting the head snugly, and a piece of soft material fitting the chin. These are connected by elastic webbing, which is connected with the head-cap near the ears. This contrivance.prevents the chin from dropping doWn, and thereby renders snoring impossibles The great trouble will be to get people to adopt this invention, since the most upright and honest of men and women wifl rarely, if ever, confess that they snore, and will Jie very indignant if accused of it As a fbrther inducement to the introduction of this contrivery detrimental to the health, and that many diseases of the threat and ipags are contracted or aggravated thereby.

It has in all axes beeneroasly abased for the very worst purpoll*. Bat so have many things, which in themselves are praiseworthy enough. For children In e femity, or with e few yoang Mends, is there anything move objectionable in a dance, than in those charades—dumb and otherwise—which with someaefioas people are so popular f Is there anything worse than thoae games where forfeits generally involving any amount of kissing are in the ascendant 7 Is there anything so bad a* in the tittle tattle that passes Ibr conversation, and is not so careful as it ought to be of other pee* pie’s characters? We think not. It may look absurd enough to see people capering about like lunatics, but, after all, as a mere amusement, is there anything in it more foolish than fifty things in the way of relaxation which pass unchallenged as mere matters of course ? Can a Christian with any degree of consistency dance? We don't pretend to say. Only a Christian has liberty to do anything that is not sinfe]. Can a clergyman with propriety take a turn at the polka ? If any Christain can, so can he, for there are not two laws of conduct, one for the clergyman and another for the private Christian. If it is right for the one. it is not wrong for the other. Can a clergyman dance and fiddle and drink until three or four o’clock in the morning. He may if he like, but how comes it to pose that both saints and sinners would unite in a suggestion to any clergyman of that type that he had better depart out of their coasts, unless it was felt that that sort of proceeding was scarcely in accordance with being a servant or Christ in any capacity whatever? What lots of people have dancing parties, at which they would not care* to see their “clergyman” leading off, a la the Governor-General, or calling the company to prayers at three o’clock in the morning! And yet, why not? If Miss Echo were bound to answer the Question, we rather guess she would say, “Ton my word, I don't know."

Beading for the Young.

The influence exerted upon youth by (heir chosen companions, in forming their tastes, opinions and characters, can hardly be overestimated. It has come to be so generally appreciated that few thoughtful parents and guardians now leave wholly to chance the quality of this influence. There is, however, another companionship, more silent and unobtrusive, bat none the less influential! n moulding our young men and Women —that of books. Indeed, in some respects, this is the more potent influence of the two. In the play of conversation there is somewhat more air stirring to blow away noxious vapors—the continual interchange of sentiment, thought and feeling, always varying, and often conflicting, tends to dissipate much that is frivolous, expose much that is absurd, and throw doubt upon much that is contradictory. In reading there is no snch friction, the attitude is mainly receptive. the suasion is all on one side, the reader is passive rather than active, he is impressed by the author, and makes *do reply. ; From the time when the little child first? acquires the power of amusing himself by reading, it should be the aim of the parent and teacher to cultivate and elevate his taste by a wise selection of books for his perusal. The amount of juvenile literature is largo and varied, and there is enough of what is pure in thought, simple in style, high in principle, and sweet in spirit, to aatify the needs of the most eager little student. If all that is impure and exciting, and even simply trashy, be carefully excluded from our children’s libraries; if we form in them the habit of reading and enjoying the best and most ennobling books suited to their age; and if a love for the pure, the true, and the beautiful be developed in their hearts, the surest blow will nave been struck against the unwhoieeome influence of impure and frivolous literature.

A Family Becomes Insane.

One of the strangest occorrgpcee on record took place a few days ago some miles west of Jamestown, in Grant county. Wia. A German farmer named Mat. Johnston, together with his wife and brother, John Johnston, all became insane at the same time. John Johnston, who is also a married man, resided at some little distance from his brother Mat The latter first showed dangerous symptoms at night, when both he and his wife arose, dressed themselves in their best clothing, and went into the field to pray. They oontfnued this for a day or two. neglecting their stock and ■Jheir five little children. Finally their rendition waa discovered by neighbors, who triedto quiet them, but Mat, firmed himself with an axe and threatened to kill any one who came near. His mother ana younger Drothere tried in Vain to coax him to be qniet or to permit them to care for his children and femishing animals. His wife, though less violent, was alao a raving maniac, and paid not the slightest attention to her children, who were crying with cold 4nd hunger. A sarge number of the neighbor* disarmed Johnston, took the children to friends who would car© for them, and attended to the home that had been stabled for days without food or water. Johnston, when at liberty, insisted on keeping all the windows m his house open, mud on having a light burning at the same tim«b
