The Exeter Times, 1879-2-13, Page 22 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. s_• 4 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. 110.bEY ANIS MIND.
