. MY OLD SWEET DRIER.
nr Caleb vvxn.
A faithful friend is my Old Sweot Brier
A treasured companion in Lours that Are
lone,
That Imrns as if with a fond desire
To fill the place of the leved one gone.
Many a time 1 have laid him by,
Locked him in closet, or drawer, or box,
Only to give him his liberty
As soon as against my heart ho knocks.
For he is a friend that a King might prfze,
Anil the poet love in that quiet time
"When before his charmed vimon lies
The realm where thought becomes sublime.
For, somehow or other, the Sweet Brier brings
A sense of pleasure so perfect and mild,
That the heart casts off all meaner things.
And forgets there is aught in the world de
filed. The moon looks down from her highest throne,
For the storm is past and the last bolt
hurled,
Which the lightning forged in a heat its own,
To cast in wrath at the helpless world.
And the stars come out with a beauty new,
And burn as if with a brighter fire,
While their silvery gossamer I view.
Through the smoke that ascends frem my
old Sweet Brier.
Many have railed at the men who love
Their Killikinick and sweet Bouquet;
But a thousand testimonies prove
That the pipe is a friend not to cast away.
For the heart may hang like a stone in the
breast,
The eye grow moist with the bitterest tear,
But I know there is joy to make me blest
So long as my Old Sweet Brier is near.
The storms may pelt the window pane,
And the wind may pitch its shrillest key,
But what care I for the snow or rain,
So long as my Old Sweet Brier's with me ?
There may be lonesome hearts around,
And desolate hearthstones cold and drear,
Where the phantom Sorrow is evqr found,
And thought is dark as the grave or bier;
But trouble and pain may pierce my heart
With the fiercest shatt and sharpest blade,
May strike my soul with the trustiest dart
That ever the forge of misery made.
And yet I will take from its place on the
shelf
That talisman true, my Old Sweet Brier,
For I know that it loves me more than itself,
And will burn my sorrow to crisp in its fire.
Others may fly to the beaming wine
To drown their woe in the sparkling bowl,
But there's treachery in the juice of the vino,
And a power to damn the strongest soul.
It opens the door to the pauper's doom,
It steals its gleam from the widow's tear,
And through its brightness the drunkard's
tomb
The eye can see with the vision clear.
Then away with the glass and away with the
gleam
Of the rubiest wine that ever shone;
Away with the blessing that's but a dream,
And the laugh which is but a ribald groan.
But bring me my well-lilled pouch of Bouquet,
When the path is dark and fond hopes
expire,
And the clouds of sorrow shall pass away
In the bloom that is shed by my Old Sweet
Brier.
The Associations of a London Square.
A writer in Behjravia gossips about some of
the squares of London. Here is what he has
to say of one of them :
"Now, with a stride westward, let us pas3
on to Orosvenor square, which Tope mentions
as early as 1716. It derived its name, Mr.
Cunningham tells us, from Sir Richard 6ros
venor, fourth baronet (of the Oros-Veneurs),
who died in 1732. That arrogant, virulent
friend of Pope's, Bishop Warburton, lived in
this spot; here he propounded his paradoxes,
and reviled Methodists, Wilkites, infidels, and
indeed anybody that differed from him.
Thrale, the good brewer, who with his gene
rous hospitality at Streatham cheered the
melancholy of his friend Dr. Johnson, died in
this square in 1781. At No. 30 John Wilke3
died. The distiller's son, thin, squinting,
lisping, yet delightful, after all his duels, and
political squabbles, and sedition, came here
and ended his days as a quiet constitutionalist,
active against the Lord George Gordon rioters.
"Wilkie's patron and Ilaydon's horror, Sir
George Beaumont, lived at No. 21). Here he
talked his pleasant platitudes about high art,
and descanted over the Claudes that he used
to carry about with him in his carriage. 'I
see no brown in grass,' said Constable to him
one day in the country, laying an old Cre
mona on the dazzlingly green lawn, to prove
that tho old masters were darker than they
should be. But Sir George's mind was not
original; and he went off with his brown tree3
and his receipt for composition till Turner
came and painted as Claude should have done,
and put twenty miles' more landscape within
the four sides of a frame than Lorraine ever
could pack.
"No. 39 Grosvenor square is a house indis
BOlubly connected with the Cato street con
spiracy, 23d of February, 1820. The conspi
ratorsof whom the chief was Thistlewood
ex-ensien in a West India regiment and a dm
graced gambler of infamous charaoter, who
had dabbled in the Kpatield troubles ana in an
the dangerous seditions of the day with his
lieutenants, Ings, a savago pork-butcher, a
man of color, and a cobbler, met in a loft over
a stable in Cato street (now Homer street),
lidgewaro road. They were armed with pike3,
nistols. swords, and hand-grenades; and were
to rush into Lord Harrowby's, directly Thistle-
wood rang tlie bell, Willi a pretended letter
Home of them were to guard the kitchen stairs
and the area, to keep back the servants; while
the rest were to enter the dining-room, and
slav all the Cabinet Ministers that day invited
to dinner. Ings carried two bags; one intended
to contain Lord Sidmouth's, the other Lord
Castlereagh's head, which were to be put on
t)ikes. and carried before the conspirators
through the streets. They were then to seize
the cannon of the City Light Horse in Gray's
Inn lane, fire some houses near there, and
then march on the Bank and the Mansion
Ilouse. The Bow street runners surprised
them as they were arming, and secured tho
ringleaders. Thistlewood, however, ran
gmithers, one of the officers, through, and es
caped. He was soon after captured, and with
Ids coadjutors, Ings, Brunt, Tidd, and David
son, hung at the Old Bailey; and afterwards
clumsily beheaded, much to the disgust and
horror of the crowd."
Tkematdke Burial. A French paper, the
Journal da Puntarlier, relates a case of prema
ture interment. During a funeral of a young
woman at Montfiorin.who had apparently died
in an epileptic fit, the grave-digger, after
Laving thrown a spadeful of earth on the
coffin, thought he heard a moan ng from the
tomb. The body was consequent y exhumed
and a vein being opened, yielded blood almost
warm and liquid. Hopes were for a niomen
entertained that the young woman woul
recover from her lethagy, bu she never d d
bo entirely, and the next day life was found to
I extinct.
Mortality Among Married Men and
Bachelors.
The London Daily News, says: "The tenth
detailed annual report' of the Kegistrar-Oene-ral
of births, deaths, and marriages in Scot
land, directo attention to the striking difference
between the death rates of the married and
unmarried men at each quinquennial Ver
of life. Taking the mean of the years lbJ
and 8C4, it seems that at every quinquennial
period of life from 20 years of age up to 85,
married men died in Scotland at a much lower
rate than the unmarried. Thns, from 20 t
2i years of age, in every thousand married
men only C"2(J died annually, but in every
thousand unmarried men at the same age,
15-01 died. From 25 to 30 years of age, only
8-23 died annually in every thousand married
men, but 14 i)4 in every thousand unmarried.
From 30 to 35 years of age, only 8-G5 died in
every thousand married men, but 15-94 in
every thousand unmarried men. From 45 to
50 years of age, in every thousand of each class,
only 17-04 married, but 21-18 unmarried died
annually.
In every thousand of each class from 50 to
55 years of age, 1954 married men
died annually, but 26-34 unmarried. In every
thousand of each class from GO to 05 years of
age, 35-63 married men died annually, but
44-54 unmarried men. In every thousand of
each class from 70 to 75 years of age 81-56
married men died annually, but 102-17 un
married men. Kven to the extreme age of bO
to fc'5 years, in every thousand of each class
there died annually only 137-88 married men,
but 195-40 unmarried. Above -this age the
numbers for both classes were too small to
yield trustworthy or steady results; and so
few attain the.e extreme ages that no dis
crepancies in the results, at such ages, could
affect the conclusions deduced from the mor
tality at the other ages.
"Small, however, as are the numbers who
attain such extreme ages, the difference on
the whole preponderates in favor of the mar
ried men. 'These carefully ascertained facts,'
says the Registrar, 'applicable to the whole
male population of Scotland who are above
twenty years of age, and for a period of two
years, seem to prove that the married state is
the condition of life best fitted for mankind,
and that at every successive stage of life mar
ried men die at a much lower rate than un
married men of the same ages. It seems im
possible, therefore, to avoid drawing the con
clusion that it is to marriage, and the more
regular domestic habits which attend that
state, that the result is attributable."
Styptic KUier to Stop Bleeding.
It is well known that cold, if applied in the
proper manner, as by the use of ice, etc., will
put an immediate stop to the How of blood,
even when it comes from small arteries. After
a time, however, if the cold be withdrawn,
there is reaction, renewal of the circulation,
and bleeding. More permanent and complete
effects, however, have been recently obtained
from a new compound of ether, prepared and
used for the purpose by Dr. Benjamin W.
Richardson, of London. He calls it styptic
ether, the chief feature of which is its holding
in solution oxyloidine and tannin, the astrin
gent principle ot oak bark. It is thrown on
the bleeding part in the form of a fine spray,
through a tube prepared for the purpose. In
order to test the extreme effects of the com
pound as a styptic, or means of checking
bleeding, Dr. Richardson took sheep's blood,
removed all the fibrin or coagulable part, and
then let the blood remain exposed to the air
for two days, to insure partial decomposition.
In this way the blood was rendered nearly as
fluid as port wine, and in the most unfavorable
condition for being transferred into clot. A
few teaspoonfuls of the blood were now placed
in a saucer, and this was warmed to the tem
perature of the body. The spray of the styptio
ether was then directed upon the fluid blood
from a full-sized spray tube, and in five
seconds the whole mass of blood was so tho
roughly solidified that the saucer could be
turned upside down without the escape of any
fluid. The blood, which had previously pre
sented the odor of putrefaction, was also
deodorized, and remained so for ten days after
the experiment.
Women and Tea.
Much of the nervous unrest and over anxiety
of the women of this generation is due to the
excessive use of tea. "Our grandmothers"
drank it and worked it off through the mus
cular system; but those of thi3 age, with brain
and nerves more sensitive, and engaged in
pursuits which intensify thi3 condition, are
rendered more excitable by stimulants, which,
under other circumstances, might be used
with much less harm. Women who do much
manual labor drink their tea, do their work,
and sleep well; w hile those are very nervous
and wakeful whose employments are sedentary,
or such as induce more mental than muscular
activity. I have known many of the latter
class who lived largely upon their tea, eating
little food and growing thin, sensitive, and
sleepless, sharp in face, sharp in feeling, and
often sharp in words too. Tea may be one of
the good things when used to steady and
strengthen the nervous system when de
pressed by accident, severe sickness, or over
work; but those who live on it live too fast,
and, when they have once come to rely upon
it, feel weak and worthless without it, and
with it grow more and more nervous still,
wondering why, because they fancy their
"breakfast tea" is as safe to be drank as new
milk at all times of day and night. Black
tea is less stimulating than green, con
sequently less injurious, but even this will
not do for "victuals, drinks and lodging," as
the Irishman said of his whisky. Jtlerald of
Ucaitu.
A Mountain Peak In tue Magnesium
Llarut.
The Oswestry Advertiser says: "The inhabi
tants of the neighborhood of Dolgelly were
aiioided a spectacle of almost unequalled mag
niflcence on Friday night, through the libe
rality of Mr. E. Jones, of the Ship Hotel, Dol
gelly, who at his own expense engaged the
services of Frofessor Day, of Chicago, to Ulu
minate the summit of Cader Idris and the
surrounding country with a series of the most
brniiant.electric. macnesium, ana otner iignts.
The effect produced by the varied colors and
the brilliancy of the light employed surpasses
the power of language to describe. Flashes
of scarlet, yellow, blue, and green lights
played over the rugged surfaces of the rocks
here lighting up the innermost depths of the
recesses, there biiurmitr out some bold point
into more than mid-daylight. The aspect of
vue country Dem-ath exhibited a most singular
and weird appearance under the brilliant light
of tho buming magnesium. A haze over the
sea prevented the answering light simulta'
neously displayed frem the Wieklow Mour
tains from being seen, but those burning upon
Snow lon and the Wrekiu were very dis
tinct; and by observation taken at the time
by Professor Day he professes to detect some
serious errors in the ordnance triuonometr oal
survey, to which the attention of the ordnano
surveyors will be drawn."

Bleep among the Asiatics.
Rev. Mr. Dall, the Unitarian Missionary at
Calcutta, in describing the way of life in
summer, with the thermometer at 100 degrees
in the daytime, and 5 to 68 degrees in the
night, says that wakefulness is the exception
and drowsing the rule. The poor, old or
young, who brings yon a note from this "mas
ter" (a word in which Asiatio reverence de
lights), no sooner delivers it than he flings
himself on his back, at full length, and is
sound asleep in three-quarters of a minute;
so that it is hard to arouse him if you are five
minutes in penning your reply. This Indian
faculty of literally dropping asleep used to
make me smile; but I've got Hsed to it. I now
expect to see Bengali "gentlemen" asleep in
their carriages, on their way to oince; ana
the less wealthy, as a matter of course, asleep
in their palankeens, which, by the way, are
never palankeens here, but palkeys. When
the Rajahs, etc., see Knglish people dancing
at Government Ilouse, they ask in wonder,
"Why not make your servants do this T"
Eternal sleep in the bliss of God, and "never
be born again 1" is Hindooism, is Buddhism,
is Asian'wm, is the oriental as contrasted
with our idea of religion. You see it in all
normal Asiatic lite.
