Bach year that passes and each hour begun i
All moments marked upon time's dial face,
To yield effective blessings tor our raco
Should some good record bear, somo action dono,
That, registered, shall shlno as doth the sun,
Whero life's Immortal ono tho page shall trace
And scan the deeds no blight nor blot erf ace.
Koch In U10 cluster, a bright bentaon,
Shall tell how on this earth somo aching heart
Woo gladdened, as new hope roso In the breast
And bado the night ot doubt and woo depart,
And peace enduring enter with its rest
So then good deeds are never cast away l
They live to crown our brighter, holler day.
SOMEBODY'S CHILD,
Just a picture of somebody's child,
Sweet face set In Its golden hair,
Violet eyes and cheeks ot rose,
Rounded chin, with a dimple there.
Tender eyes where the shadows sleep,
Lit from within by a secret ray,
Tender eyes that will shlno Uko stars,
When lovo and womanhood como this way.
Scarlet Bps with a story to tell t
Blccsed bo ho who shall find It out I
Who shall learn the eyes' deep secret well,
And read the heart with never a doubt I
Then you will tremble, scarlet Hps I
Then you will crimson, lovllest cheeks 1
Eyes will brighten and blushes will burn
w hen the ono true lover bends and speaks.
But she's only a child now, as you see ;
Only a child In her careless grace ;
When love and womanhood come this way
Will anything sodden the aower-llke face ?
SELECT STORY.
LOTUS BLOSSOMS.
BY HELEN LUQUEER.
"It is your own fault, Edmund," said
Mrs. Latimer to her son, who was pac
ing to and fro tho little sitting-room of
their cottago home in tho suburbs of a
. !. ,,-Vr t
wusiurn city. "lira navo inuuigca
your vain, selfish wife in every whim,
and the result of her oxtravaganco and
you recklessness in speculation has been
your nun.
"xou aro very hard on me, mother I
como to you with ray trouble, as I
used when a boy, hoping for tho old
sympathies and advice, but receive only
biamo ana nam words.
"I shall not always harp upon this
disagreeblo subject, my son ; but before
I can give counsel I must make you sco
with ray eyes all tho errors of your
past life. My sympathies "
bue paused, and there was tho trem
ble of tears in her voico as she glanced
up into the handsome brown oyes of
her son. The look brought him to her
sido ; and they sat in close confidence,
with hand clasped in hand, and talked
of the fortune lost, the beautiful home
seized by creditors, and of their sad fu
ture prospects.
"Vou will accept Unclo Jeptha Pod
ham's proposition !" said Mrs. Latimer
at last.
"With all the conditions mother!
You know that would bo impossible 1"
he replied.
"How impossible! questioned his
mother. "You surely understand what
Uncle Jeptha says V
Then taking up a letter she read :
" 'If my nephew be still silicic, and
with untramniflcd affections, I will pay
him a liberal salary to travel with me
as courier, companion and friend. I
shall expect him to take entire ehargo
of my tiuaneial matters, and to devote
himself entirely to me for tho remain
der of my life. And in addition to tho
regular salary, I will bind myself to
leave him, at my death, my entire es
tate, amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars.'
"Well," continued Mrs. Latimer.
when sho had finished reading, "there
is no reason upon earth why Mary
should not relinquish all claim upon
you during tho remainder of your
uncle's life.
"You cannot mean that I shall di
vorce myself from my wife ?"
"Only while it is necessary for your
interests You know Mary's require
ments, and that you aro left with only
your hands to supply them."
"Yes, and henceforth ray life would
bo that of a dog!"
"There is no disguising tho fact, Ed
mund, that you and Mary at tho best
are not happy together."
The young husband groaned, and his
baudsome head fell upon his hand. At
that moment the conversation was in
terrupted by tho cutrance of another.
It was a rather stout, black eyed,
rosy young person, dashing in manner,
her rich silk robo trailing over the
modest, ingrain carpet. With a heavy
sigh she threw herself into a seat and
fixed contemptuous glances upon moth
er and son.
"I should hko to know," sho ques
tioned, "how long wo are to remain
hero pensioners upon tho bounty of
Mrs. Latimer while you do nothing,
Edmund!"
Ho made known the proposition of
his uncle to her, and sho responded :
"You will of course accept it!"
"And livo a lie !"
"I havo no potienco with sentiment
where ono's bread is concerned !" sho
nnawered haughtily nml with curling
lip. "You give your services to that
old, nccentrio unolo nntrammoled 1
Then, for goodness sake, go 1 I release
you for tho natural term of tho old
innn's life, so you send mo money
enough to keep me from pauperism,
and share with mo the fortuuo when it
becomes yours."
"Mary, think again 1 We must sop
nrate, to all intents ami purposes, for
years."
"Very well as I told you before, I
would not givo a rush for sentiment if
it stood between myself aud advance
ment or a fortune."
There was little moro argument need
ed i and silencing every scruple, young
Latimer wont forth, as Mary said, to
seek his fortune it having been ar
ranged that his wifo should remain
with his mother, whore she should re
celvo means to beautify tho plaoo and
for her support which moant half tho
year in travel, or at some fashionable
resort.
In due timo Edmund Latimer found
himself in an Eastern oily, face to faoo
with ft. gonial, gouty, red-faced old fel
low, who was ns occeutrio iu dress as
in person. He carried a ponderous,
gold-headed cane, which he wielded
Hko a soeptre, and with it emphasised
all ho said.
"So, Edmund, my boy, tho women

stick dowu with a thump, and laughed
dy, nn he continued : "1 want to get
: to England am sick of this
country. Do you know why I sent for
you! Well, I had n secrctaty who was
liko n son to me, and ho had to up and
dio with consumption I" and down
camo tho cano again, whilo bo winked
tho tears out of his little, sunny, bluo
oyes. "And I said to myself, 'I'odliam,
you're a helpless old hulk, too restless
to rot out in port, but must needs keep
afloat, and you'vo got to hnvo a strong
hand at tho helm.' So, like an inspira
tion, you camo to my mind. I hadn't
seen ono of you for'tcn years) and I
said to myself, 'Edmund must bo seven
and twentyt and if ho hasn't been a
fool end fallen in love, or married, ho's
my boyl"'
"You are very kindinclol'' stam
mered Latimer, with n genuine blush
of shamd dyeing his checks.
"Now I can't nbido any fiddlo-dc-dec,
lovesick nonsense, my lad I and ns we
travel about from Dan to Beersheba,
ybu'll sen lots of them giggling young
critters, and you'ro to steer clear of
em I
Edmund forced a laugh, as ho repli
ed :
"Trust me, uncle 1 I am dead to all
that kind of weakness 1"
"Been bit, havo you, hey ! ' chuckled
the old man.
"I am free, to coufess I have, and
am dono with tho sex called fair."
"Give us your hand on that.my boyl"
and down camo tho cano with unusual
emphasis.
Tlio next outward bound steamer
convoyed away old Jenthn Podhara and
his nephew, Edmund Latimer.
"As wo haven't anybody to wave
handkerchiefs to, Ned, if you'll help
mo down below, I'll turn in and get
somo rest 1" said tho old man, as thoy
steamed out of the harbor.
Accordhierly tho old Gentleman did
not eeo any of tho passengers until tho
next day. Then, as ho was taking n
turn on tho deck, leaning upon tho arm
of his nephow, ho ran against a tall,
gaunt man, in an invalid chair, whoso
servant was attempting to make him
comfortable by winding him up in in
numerable wraps.
"Zounds ! ray foot 1" exclaimed Pod
ham. "Why, bless my soul, if it isn't
Martin Dinsmoro I" and tho next in
stant the two were shaking hands,amid
ejaculations and questions without
number.
"Ave you alone, Martin !" wns asked.
"No, Jeptha: Itosa and her maid
aro with me."
"You don't say liltlo Rosa is here !
sho and I aro old lovers 1" laughed
Podhara.
"Y'es j I wanted her to come on
deck ; but she is seasick, and wouldn't."
"But she must 1" exclaimed Padkara.
"Here, Edmund, you go down and
bring the child up!"
His nephew at onco went below, and
to his amaxementjfound a lovely young
lady, heavy eyed and pale, curled up
on a sofa, her maid batliing her golden
head with cologne. The situation was
extremely awkward for Edmund ; but
he managed to introduce himself; and,
with the assistance of her father's valet,
soon made her comprehend tho state of
affairs on deck, and the mandate "of her
old friend Podham.
Sho signified her willingness to bo
transported! and robed in soft furs
and shawls, sho leaned upon tho arm of
Latimer, and ascended to tho deck
tho valet and maid following with arm
fuls of cushions.
"Bless my soul!" exclaimed Podham ;
"this isn't tho child that sailed with mo
down the Nile four years airo ! Whv
didn't you stay little! you know I hate
yountr ladies 1"
"Nevertheless you won't hate mo for
tho sake of ould lang syne," she au
swered, with a pretty laugh aud smil
ing blue oyes. "J3ut vou must nut mo
down somowhore, for my poor head
swims about liko a top."
A he old fellow gallantly placod hor
iu u buvuuiuu (lupiuuu, mum nor cusu
ions, and sat down b"sido her. to eroa
sip of old times, with his friend Martin
in close proximity, whero ho could now
and then put in a word between his
paroxisms of coughing while Edmund
lounged at a little distance, in a tiraco-
ful attitude, tsmokincr his citrar and
musing.
Tho two old men, Podham and Dins
moro, talked of their boyhood davs
of their early manhood and their
is for tho futuro while tho sun-
tipped lashes drooped over tho azure
eyt s, ns the golden head rested upon
the soft cushions in unconscious slum
ber-, and as Edmund sauntered by
them, ho took in the pictured loveliness
of tho girl, ns ono would a gem of
somo art collection.
"I ivo years aco," ho thoucht. "mv
heart would havo warmed at tho sight
of such innooenco and beauty! but
now I can safely say, that, even if
wero honorable in mo to think of such
a thing, 1 am proof against every
cuurin.'
After a lone discussion of their plans.
it was agreed by tho old gentlemen
that their parties should travel toe-ethers
and, for tho sako of tho consumptive
Dinsmore.spend tho summer in France,
winter in Egypt, and again try tho
uoih mo on too is lie.
Accordingly Edmund found enouch
of care to occupv his entire time nnd
attention tho helplessness of tho two
old men, a dellcato female, tho two
valets, and tho lady s maid.
As thoy journod from point to point,
Edmund frequently received dispatches
from home, and Kosa noticed that, in
stead of clieerinir him. thov produced
fits of melnnoholy, which old Podham
designated as "tlio dumps.
Upon ono occasion, whilo waitinir at
Alexandria for tho proper outfit for
their journey, a letter cniuo j and tor
tho remainder of tho day Edmund was
silent nnd sad ; and though ho piloted
the party upon a round of Bight-seeing,
and boro patiently tho irritability of
his uncle, aud tho delays caused by tho
feobleness of Mr. Dinsinore, yet ho was
preoccupied ami reserved, ins manner
toward Itosa was courtoous and ofton
genial, but soeininulv devoid of nil
sentiment, much to tho delight of unclo
Jeptha, who secretly applauded his
good seuso nnd strength of mind.
But as they wero Blnndlng together

to rest in a shaded nook, attended by

just now, Unolo Jeptha possesses n
goodly share of mine. I ought not to

ocked in tho ioy arms of winter.''
"L should not wish to exchange Egypt
for Now York, but I am longing to
commence our Nile journoy. Thon I
will gather by tho way lotus blossoms
for your pillow."
"1 would that thoy might indeed
possess, not only the forgctfulness of
sorrow, but of sin. Then I should owo
you a lasting debt of gratitude.
Ho spoke bitterly, and tho girl look
ed up at him with surprised, question
ing oyes ; and then, with a littlo ripple
of laughter, sho replied :
"Uno would thiuk you wero an cs-
capod convict, Mr. Latimorl"
"You have gucssod it. 1 feel as if I
wero indeed n fugitive from juctice."
"A do not understand your meaning,
was simply ioking, and vou nro
almost .fiercely in earnest."
Alas I l think I was bewailing tho
tendency of life's tido to drift us into
wrong currents, isut hero como the
patriarchs of our party. Forget, Uosa,
that I am anything but a dreaming
misanthrope, out of which your lotus
blossoms arc to bring me into tho Ely
sium of forgelfulness."
Alter this conversation, by her quiok,
womanly intuition, Rosa came to know
that Bomo secret sorrow or anxiety was
iressmg heavily upon tho heart of her
;riend : and from that hour bIio gave
him that tender sympathy which is so
near akin to a dearer relation.
But could sho havo known of tho
miserable tidings which thoso de
spatches from his mother brought to
Edmund Latimer of tho perfidy of
his wife of her quickly drifting to
tho bad of her loatbsomo vioo of
hebrioty of alb tho dismal tales of
er fall, her pity would havo been
great indeed.
"You know, said ono of the letters.
how often I cautioned you about per
mitting Mary to have alo and wine so
treely I Hut you either would not lis
ten, or elso were too weak to cope with
tho will of that wretched woman 1 I
asttiro you her career has been swiftly
downward a disgrace to our name and
her sex. Sho has forfeited all claim
upon your lovo or respect, and is now
where she should ever remain, in an
asylum for such wrecks placed there,
heaven be thanked I by her own family.
You havo simply to regard her as dead
to you."
All the dajs thoy drifted on tho Nile,
or wandered amid tho ruined greatness,
the haunting vision of tho woman ho
bad loved and promised to protect,
never left Edmund Latimer. In her
dashing, imperious girlhood, or as tho
selfish, money-loving, wine-bibbing,
heartless wife, until he grew pale and
wretched, sho seemed ever before him.
And over and over again ho was upon
tho point of telling his uncle everything
though tho affectionate regard and
needs oi the good old gentlemen caused
him to refrain.
So they drifted on through tho win
ter, and out of Egypt, through sunny
Italy, into a little aud beautiful Swiss
valley.
Thero the old friends, Podham and
Diusmore, took cottages, side by side,
and with gardens joining each other.
Over tho rude, stone fence, which
divided them,clambered fruit and vines,
making a green iiedge, through which
opened a little gate; and into this
tangled mazo of bloom was daily
wheeled tho arm chair of the fast-fail
ing invalid father of Itosa Dinsinore,
And in tins peaceful spot Edmund
Latimer had in reality found his lotus
blossoms. At least ho had accepted
the condition of things, with philoso
phy, if not patience ; and so he dream
ed away the summer days in tho dan
gerously sweet companionship of i
pure, white womanhood, such as Rosa
daily demonstrated. Ho was content
to livo thus, with eyes sealed to certain
probabilities which time must bring.
Together ho and Itosa climbed Al
pino heights, or read sonnets beneath
some verdant shade, with Uncle Jep
tha as apparently blind to tho danger
of such intercourse as any male. He
perhaps thought his nephow proof
against sueti charms as youth, a lily,
anu rose-uiootumg lace, with golden
tresses, a sylph liko form, and a. voico
of wonder sweetness.
At all events life went on und'tsturb
cd in tho two cottages, until ono dav
old Mr. Dinsmoro coughed himself
into n hemorrhage, whose red tido
floated the good, old, loving soul out
of the world.
1 hen thero was great consternation
in the littlo Swiss cottage. Rosa lav
prostrate for a time, with grief at her
oss, but with her hand closo clasped
in mat oi .lepum rodtiam, who (do
simo ins expressed hatred ot the sex
had tenderly elected himself to tho
position of parent to tho bereaved trirl,
When the day had ended she arose,
with tho conviction that sho had in
dulged in useless grief sufficiently
long, nnd her duty lay now with the
kind old man who loved her. and who
would henceforth caro for her until she
could bo pliced with somo distaut kin
dred of whom sho know very littlo,

sauiy mrougti nor tears, "you aro very

With tho help of his cano and her

and received his good-night kiss." "

Ho stood holding her hands, as if to

spoke in loving and tender accents.

He still held closely tho two littlo
hands ( that seemed so helpless nnd
trembling. Tho poor child had borne
up bravely for tho sako of others t but,
at his kind words, nil tho magnitudo of
her loss arose before hor. Raising her
pale faco toword tho kind, sympathiz
ing ono ocnuing over ncr, mo noou
gates of her sorrow opened wide, and
with a burst of uncontroliaulo grief she
bemoaned her loss.
"Oh 1 why could my dear father not
have been spared to mo! I loved him
so well, nnd ho was all 1 had in tho
wido world to lovo or caro for me !''
Tho pallid face, the raining tears
and drooping attitude, all appealed to
tho most tenders sentiments of her com
panion's heart. Forgotten wero his
often-registered vows. A11 of tho
past, with its hideous fetters, seemed
to glide into oblivion as ho endeavored
to comfort tho orphaned girl. Tender
ly ho clasped her to his heart ; tender
ly he breathed into tho littlo ear, that
lay upon his breast, words that should
havo blistered his tongue I Again and
again ho told how lie loved her how
ho had grown to livo only in hor pres
ence whilo away from her his lifo
was a blank. Again nnd again, in tho
rapture of emotion, ho kissed tho gold-
head that reposed bo trustingly
above his heart. Then ho stooped to
tho lips ; and iu that loving kiss ho
promised that his affection should bo
deathless that his care of her should
bo life-long and nil absorbing.
At that moment a strange sound,
liko low, gurgling, hideous laughter,
broko tho silence of the room, and
ichoed through the little passage and
above the cold form of tho dead. Then,
if somo horrible vision, from re
gions of the lost, had broken in upon
the happy scene, to curse and call the
perjured soul of the lover to account,
camo tho fearful sound again.
Tho lovers started trom each other s
arms to be confronted by the face of a
woman, who stood in tho garden be
neath tho window, her arms resting
upon the sill, her bloated faco lighted
up by tho wax tapers upon tho man
tel. Edmund staggered back at the
sight of that face the girl clinging to
him in terror. T lio black eyes Hashed
upon them from above tho puffy'
cheeks out of which all traces of
beauty, or even comeliness, had been
washed by dissipation nnd again the
mocking laughter pretaced words that
were as tho blasting hiss of somo poi
sonous serpent.
"ijo 1 It is as 1 thought, lidmund
Latimer! Thus do I find you comfort

It leaked out of your letters to your
mother, that you were tramping the

tho hideous laugh rung out once more,
and an ugly sneer curled the lips.
"What does, what can, this mean!
questioned Rosa, still clinging in af-
fright to the arm of Latimer.
"Mean T hissed the purple lips of
tho woman ; "mean" ! Just this Yon-
der perjured craven is my husband 1"
"Ilusband V gasped llosa.

window to tho terrified and questioning

Then tho passion ot tho woman
broko through all bounds. Sho shook
her tists at them, and launched oaths
and imprecations that pierced the
white soul of Rosa as with a knifo ;
she Iponred out abuse and threats j but
in the very in dst of her towering
anger sho reeled and fell, clutching at
tno air with her nerveless hands.

early as Democritus, and extending
down to tho present hour, all thought-

tho writing of Hvpocratcs, written
mnro than 2.000 VCarS ago. that 1)0 is
reading tho exhortations of ono of tho
i - , u i l.i. Ur-.M
modern troublesomo health reformers.
1. Tno stomach ought, never to bo
overloodcd with food, otherwlso tho
body will bo rendered unfit for exer
tion.
2. Moderation in exercise, food.'
drink, sleep.
a. no lresn lood snouiu do taken,
unless tho preceding meal has been
properly digested.
4. Tho mcais snouia not, ne uni
form but supper always lighter than
dinnor.
6. Excess in former meals must bo
corrected by a subsequent abstinence -
(j. All lood should be amy mastica
ted beforo it bo swallowad.
7. Tho quantity of drinks should
always bo proportioned to that of sol
id food.
8. No drink should be taken until , a
due proportion of solid food has been
swallowed.
9. A varietyof dishes ought not to
bo eaten at the samo time.
10. It will bo advisablo to refrain
from a meal (dinner) once a week, par
ticularly when tho body seems to re
quire less food.
11. Uodtly exerciso should be no
managed onco a day as to excite tho
natural heat (glow), and before a
meal. The advantages resulting from
such practice are thus described ' by
Fulgentius : "Exerciso," says ho
"contributes to tho preservation of
human life. It dissipates all super
fluous humors of a plethorio habit ; it
invigoratas our faculties ; it is a gain
of time i tho enemy of idleness t the
of the young and the delight of
tho ngod. For exerciso disengages and
expels through the pores all superflu
ous humors ; while the greatest inju
ies result from a contrary conduct.
For indolenco is generally attended
with dissolution,"
12. In taking food, liquids and soft
substances ought to precede thoso of a
dry and solid nature.
is. lietwecn solid meats, botn solid
aud liquid food should be avoided.
14 The bowels should be regular
every day, either by nature or by arti-
hcial means.
15. Extremes of heat and cold, with
respect to food, drink and air, are
equally to be guarded against
lb. sleep ought not to continue less
than six hours, nor exceed eight
17. Immediately after a meal, ana
with a full stomach, it is hurtful to
engage in reading, writing or deep re
flections. 18. Violent exercise, shortly after a
meal ought always to be avoided.
In- When tho body is in a a languid
state, all tho limbs should be vigor
ously stretched.
20. Drink should never bo taken on
an empty stomach ; as in that case, it
cannot fail to prove exceedingly hurt
ful, by agitating tho nerves. Ualen
says, iu tho second aphorism, 21, if a
hungry person drink wine before be eat,
be will speedily bo attaeked by spasms
and delerious symptoms. Nor should
wino bo taken (habitually) after meals,
because it unnaturally accelleratcs tho
digestion, propels the food before it is
properly digested, and lays the founda-
won ot oostructions auo. putridity.
21. Wine should never be taken lin
moderately -, and it would bo advis-
n 11 . o n mnnlt na .maolliln nlutnln

to abstain
from its use, because it affects tho
brain ; hence, no person of a weak
organization should venture lo drink it,
unless in small quantities or diluted.
Serspian remarks, "Wino fills the head
with many vapors.
22. T he bread should be of tho best
quality, soft (not to stale), and mixed
with a small portion of salt
2S. (Jheese and all the artificial prep
arations of milk ought to bo avoided :
though pure milk, when mixed with
sugar, may not be deemed unwholesomo
during the summer. Milk aud water,
or whey, is a salutary baverage at all
seasons.
24. Fresh fish should bo seldom
eaten, and thon they ought to bo
tender nnd well-dressed, with tho
addition of vinegar, spices and other
sauces.
25. Oysters and all shell fish should
bo avoided, because thoy afford only a
