TER TIMES
IN Tall SWEET 1iYlf, AND BYE.
The lawyer leaned back in his easy (hair,
His ()tient stood nervously by,
And the until of law sang till the office walls
rang,
"All right ; in the sue it byo and bye,"
Cheerfully warbled the butcher,
Blood in his apron and eye,
Bummer is no time for pudding s,
"Malt for the suet bye and bye."
"Ab, sue," groaned the man with the moor -
'schemes :
"I'U color it yet or 1'11 die ;"
Aud hethrew his, cigar out of the window;
"Give me this weed bye and bye,"
'Whenever the sons of Gustavus
Labor and warble, and cry,
Earning their bread by the „sweat of their face.
You'll hear "the sweet bye and bye,"
And the man who went to hunt lodgings
For a month and a day had to cry,
Till he lit on some rooms that lust suited his
wife,
"We'll go in this suite bye and bye."
Iu the theatre, minstrel, cathedral,
In the church and the beet garden nigh ;
In the concert, saloon and the circus,
They all sing "the sweet bya and bye."
TAKING COMFORT.
'The dream of tuortale is of a time
coining when Dares shalt cease to. iu
vest, anxieties to oppress, every wish
to be gratified, and they shall " hake
solid comfort."
Many waste all their lives in the
pursuit of this dreti'u, which, like the
will-o'-the-wisp, leads them a sad chase
over beg and morass, eluding them to
the last.
A few thoughtful mule arrive seas-
onably at the wise ooncl,hsion that not
in this world will the time ever come
when life will be full of comfort only.
We must take the bitter with the sweet
as we go along.
Contentment is not an outward
growth. Its roots spring from, the
very depths of the soul, and are nour-
ished by rain :as well as by sunshine,
by sorrow as by joy. Whore ouce one
has resolved within himself to take life
as it is and make the best of ib. then
he may. even in tribulation, take com-
fort,'though the majority of people do
not prefer to take it in that form.
The delights of life, like pleasant
Weather through the year, are scattered.
all along the way, and unless we enjoy
them ;as they come, the opportunity
once past never returns.
It is all very well to provide for a
rainy day, but that man is very foolish
who allows himself to be soaked by
drenching rains that he may save his
umbrella for possible future storms.
Pleasure taking is not nearly so
much provided .for among our earliest,
intensF, energetin people as it should
be. : We live altogether too much in
the future, too little in the present.
We live poor that we may die rich.
We get all ready to be bappy, and
when we are quite ready infirmity or
disease or death steps in, and the
chance to comfort iu this life id gone.
If we only could be content to seize
upon the little .pleasures that lie just
outside and often within our pathway,
they would make a large sum total at
the end of the three score years and
ten. ,
For too many of us scorn pleasures
that are cheap and within our grasp,
and complain because we cannot have
such' a costly and remote inaccessible.
Bncit we could only magnify the little
thiugs that make it unpleasant, the eup
of our joys would continually overflow.
We complain of cloud and storm, but
do we rejoice in the sunshine and fair
weather ? We grieve at the coldness
of a friend, but do we value fully the
fidelity of those who remain true ? We
count the hours when sickness pros-
trates us, but how many day; of health
pass utterly unnoted and without
thanksgiving. We mourn passionately
for theodead, while we naglect the liv-
ing whom to -morrow we may weep for
as dead.
It is well for us to heed the saying
of the wise man, ' There is nothing
better than that a man should rejoice
in bis own, for that is his por'tiou, for
who shall bring him to see what shall
be after him."
DR. RICHAR,nsou ON i1IODERATE
DRINKING.
On Saturday Dr. B. W. Richrtrdson,
Ie. R. S., delivered a lecture to a large
audience in Exeter -hall (England) on
the scientific argumdnts for sod against
moderate drinking. Science, be said,
showed that alcohol was nob included
in the s'clenie of life of which mai
forms but a minute speck, end that,
tested by man himself, overwhelming
proof was before them that human be-
ings could exist healthfully fro,n birth
to death without its tide. Tested by
marching, racing, riding, swimming,
Polar exploration, and .in worhiog at
differ dales wider a pressnre of thr'eo
art- even four atmospheres, those who
abstained from alcohol always had the
adv.antiagn over those who did not, al•
sinful reducing, after prolonged and
trying efforts, both the mental and the
pbysioal power: The moment any ap-
preciable el'feet from alcohol wite felt
all the minute blood -vessels were re'
dut+od'in power so that they filled with
blood ; the face, lungs, and brain
flushed, the breathing became quioker,
the action of'tho heart increased some
four strokes a minute, or at the rate of
5,700 strokes in the twenty-four hrs.,
and all this frcin ticking what the late.
Dr. Parkes has called the dietie dose,of
from one to two fluid cameo of alooli el,
the equivalent of oue and a half pints
of beer containing 5 per cent. of alco-
hol, and half that quantity of .10 per
eeut. French wine. Ou this dictum
Dr. Richardson, founded a strong argu-
ment for abstineuoe altogether, dwell -
.ng particolarly on the temptation
'which lay iu the way of moderate
drinkers to exceed the safe limits, and
011 the evil effects of example on those
without power of. self-restraint.
A PROPHECY FULFILLED.
The Jewish Chronicle finds a pro'
pheoy fulfilled in one of the results of
the new nnderstian.liug between Great
Britain anal Turkey, and time speaks
of it : " The report that the Porte has
granted a 'concession to an ? uglisli
company for the construotlou of
the Euphrates Valley Railroad, and
to a ifreuch oompauy for the Jaf-
fa -Jerusalem line, has been very
favorably received by the Jews in Jeru-
salem, especially as, according to their
belief, prophecy itt the Scriptures will
thereby be fulfilled. The Euphrates,
Railway, so it is proposed, will inter-
sect the former provisoes of Assyria
and Babylonie, and' -will have stations
at ltossel and Hiliel, in the neighbor-
h)od of which towns are Assyriau and
Babylonian ruins.. It bus been sug-
gested at Constantinople that eventu•
ally a junction might be effected be-
tween the Euphrates line and the
Egyptian railways, which, if carried
out, would confirm the following pro-
phecy of Isaiah xix. 23 : "Li that day
there shall be a highway out of Egypt
to Assyria, and the Assyrian shalt,
conte into Egypt and the Egyptian
into Assyria, and the ELryptiaus shall,
serve with the Assyrians..
A,
BRAVII WOMAN.
During the siege of Gibraltar, in
1782, the Count d'Arsoise came to St.
Roca to visit the place and works.
While bis Highness was inspecting the
lines in company 4(titlt the Duke de
Orillon, they both alighted with their
suite, and all lay fiat upon the ground.
to avoid the effects of a bomb that fell
near a part of the barraoks where a
French woman brad a canteen. This
woman, wtio had two children in her
arms at the time, rushed forth with
them, and haviug seated herself with
the utmoet anliq•fruid on the bombshell,
she put out the rnatob, thus extricating
from danger all who were around her,
many of whom witnessed this courage-
ous and devoted act. Rio Highness
rewarded this intrepid female by be-
stowing on her a pension of 3 francs a
day and engaged to promote her hus-
band after the stege ; while the Duke
de Crillon, imitating the gent•rous ex-
ample of the Prince, iubured to her
likewise a daily payment of 5 francs.

A YOUNG GI'RL'S OBTUSENESS.
A young man and his favorite com-
panion sat near the front et Burdette's
lecture the other evening. When the
Fawkeye mat, had just finished con-
vulsing his hearers with an account of
a youth's first shaving encounter with
a barber, the young mai leaned over
and whispered
" That's true to life, 1 can telt you."
" Row can you tell' me ?" inquired
hie girl.
"Row 2" be inquired in a whisper ;
" why that's just the way I telt when
I first got shaved."
" - hen was that ?" she asked.
Oh, before I raised my moustache,"
" What monstaohe ?" she queried, a
'little surprised.
What moustache do you suppose?"
he retorted, turning red.
" Why, Charlie," whispered the git 1.
" 1. never saw any moustache. Do
you inean—"
" Never mind what I mean," hissed
the young map between his clenched
teeth. And he stared very hard at
the lecturer the balance of the evening,
bet somehow could'ut see anything to
laugh et. Suudiay night he went to
ate a new girl.

Of 'five hundred and fifty-one lunatics

soon as cold till the pain is all gone ;
then cover up till perspi►•sation is over,

tism can often be relieved by applica-
tion to the painful parte' of clothe wet
in a weak solution of sal soda in water.
