Rum's Delirium.
BY DD. W. 7. MULLIN.
He long had tipped the tempting bowl,
And drank its poisonous dregs,
Till health, and strength, and reason gone,
Most piteously he begs
His only daughter—Norah fair—
To come unto his aid,
For deadly terrors haunt his soul,
And make him sore afraid.
"Come! Norah, sib upon your father's knee,
It makes his heart so glad—
No I Go away I Oh ! Go away ! •
Oh Heavens ! I am mad!
I see him at the window pane ;
He ghastly grins at me—
He comes I lie comes ! with flaming sword,
Oh 1 Whither shall I flee ?
"But lie is gone, now, Norah dear,
Once more make glad my heart—
But hist I I hear a fearful shriek I
My blood runs cola—l shudder—start !
Look! Look I that vengeful Send,
Oh I There he is again;
He peers at me—his eye-balls glare
Right thrcugh that window pane !
“Araunt I fell fiend—but there are more—
Yes I two! three! four !
Oh let me out ! Oh let me out !
Throw open wide the door!
But what are these? The room is full;
They hiss, and writhe, and crawl ;
They squirm and dart their fiery tongues—
They're on the floor and wall.
"Bat, Norah dear, your mother's gone;
You nra my only child,
She was so good, and I so bad,
The thought now sets me wild,
And oft before a throne of grace,
For papa did she bow,
But unrewarded was her prayers,
She's gone to Heaven now.
"Oh yes! she sings an angel's song;
She chants in Heavenly choir,
But I am left—yes! I am left.—
Great God! what means that fire?
Helpl help I the house is all in flame,
I feel its angry breath—
It roars 1 It cracks! The roof falls in
We will be burned to death 1
Bring on your engines! Quick ! be quick I
But ah 1 it is too late
For hose and water can't avert
Our dire impending fate—
You've put it out I Hal ha I thank God!
Well that is very kind,
But there 1 a dieadful scene now opes
To overwhelm my mind.
“See how it yawns I that dark abyss—
He comes again! my foe—
A legion devils hurl me down
To everlasting woe.
But I've escaped—they're gone;
The gulf has closed—l'm free;
But no ! I hear harsh sounds—
New troubles wait on me
"They dig my grave! those wicked men—
There stands the ready bier;
The mattock's stroke ; the shovel's ring,
Now smite upon mine ear—
The clods! the clods they tumble in—
In vain with foes I strive—
Help 1 Sorah, help! for Heaven's sake,
They bury me alive!
"Almighty God ! Oh I Save me now
From fire, sword and hell,
Or I am lost—forever lost,
And must with devils dwell,"
'Twas thus he raved in anguish wild
Until his latest breath,
His tortured spirit took its flight,
And he lay still in death.

Home Courtesies.
How many of us, brethren and sisters,
make home the rag-bone of ill-humors and
caprices, and wretched moods of every
kind, while we carefully hide them from
the stranger I When the guest arrives we
slide a chair over the rent in the carpet.
and slide a tidy over the worn edge of the
sofa-cushion, and lay a prettily-bound
book over the ink-stain upon the parlor
table-cloth ; and so at his coming the fly
ing hair is smoothed, and the sullen look
is gilded with a smile, and the sour tone
is suddenly wonderfully sweet. Shriveled
old Autumn blooms in a monientinto rosy
Spring. And bow is. a youth to know
that this house, where everything seems to
smile, is not always as warm and sunny• as
:he finds it 7 Yet this young woman, so
'neatly dressed, so quietly mannered, so
fascinating to the young man, may be the
most inefficient of - huinan beings. Still
he can never know it until it is too late.
He cannot put it to the proof. He takes
the divinity upon trust. All that he
knows is that she is, a woman, and that he
loves. And whether he thinks that house
hold. intelligence and thrift and endless
courtesy come by nature, like Degbetry's
reading or writing, or wbether he assumes
that, having a mother, his peerless prin
cess has been carefully taught all the du
ties of a queen, or whether, as the most
probable, lie knows only that lie loves, the
duty of the parent is still the same. * * *
But for dm ordeal of the household who
come too well prepared ? And what par
ent, what human , being who has learned
by experience.- but would gladly equip
every child with the most perfect equip
ment? No, Dorinda Jane, to whom the
youth, crusty at home, will presently
come sweetly smiling, it is not the flowing
hair, and the graceful dress, and the bloom
upon the cheek, and the soft lustre of the
eye, that will make home happy. No, nor
is it his horses and plate, and the luxury
and ease he promises. And you, dear Sir.
and Madam, who permit that boor to sit
surly at the table, and to growl in mono
syllables at home, you who suffer that, fair
faced girl to grow up utterly unequal to
the duties to which she will be called, you
are responsible.
Human Ways and Means,
For a long time the measure worms de
voured the foliage of the shade trees in
New York and Brooklyn, and their regu
lar appearance with the early summer was
the annual pest of those cities. Every
human appliance and invention was re
sorted to destroy them, or prevent their
production ; but in vain. Atlength, how
ever, the English sparrows were introdu
ced, and under their attacks the worms
have entirely disappeared. The divine
means triumphed where the hump means
failed. The fact affords an illustration of
value to all Christian workers—to the
workers in Sunday Schools among the
rest. Our artificial instrumentalities, fit
them as we may to the desired end, will
do nothing in cutting off the evil that is
in the world, in comparison with those
which God has appointed and so bounti
fully supplied. Hearts about us are full
of wickedness, houses of woe. communities
of wretchedness; -and• the only agencies
that can effect a cure are heaven sent—
the word, the Spirit. When shall we
learn to place less dependence upon, our
own contrivances, and more upog 'the
methods which the Master has provided ?
Could'nt Spell It.
A Yankee from the green Mountains,
-visited the.city of London. While pass
.ing through one of the thorughfares, his
attention was arrested by some • specimens
of writing paper, exposed for sale in a shop
window. Seeing the proprietor of the es
tablishment standing at the door, the Yan
kee civilly inquired what he did with them
nice bits of paper.
"We keep them to tie up gape seed in,"
said the cockney, snappishly.
"Oh, ye du—du ye ? said Jonathan.
Passing down the street a few steps, our
indignant Yankee saw another merchant.
• "I say, Mister, can you tell what that
feller does for a livin' what keeps them ere
nice bits of paper at the window ?"
"Yes, sir. lie is a small dealer in paper
and a sort of a scribe. lie writes letters
-for persons."
"I reckon he is a very small dealer and
that he is a pharisee es well ass scribe. Do
you think he will write a letter for me if I
pay him fir ?"
- The Yankee thrust his hands into his
pocket almost up to his elbow and walk i d
back.
"I say,lnister, they say as how you dell
and write letters for folks what can't write.
What will you ax to write a letter to my
sister Sally r"
• "I will charge you five shillings."
'•Will ye write - just what I tell ye, and
spell the words right as we du in Vermont?"
"To be sure I will."
gus you may write to Sally."
The Londoner Procured a pen, ink and
paper, and the Yankee commenced dicta
tion after the usual style.
"Dear sister . Sally."
"Rived hi town last week."
"Have ye got that down ?"
"Yes, go on."
"Thought I'd go into the country and
take a ride."
"Well the old mare balked. 'She would'nt
go, so I licked her."
"Well ; go on."
"Licked her—licked her—licked her—
licked her."
"What is the use of saying that nn many
times ?"
"None of your business. I pay you five
shillings—licked her—licked her—licked
her—licked her."
"This-page is full of licked hers.'
"Turn over then—licked her—licked
her—licked her—licked her. She would
not go then, so I got out and kicked her,
kicked her, kicked her, kicked her."
"You are not intending to say that as
many times as you said licked her?'
"None of your business ; I pay you.—
Kicked her, kicked her, kicked her. She
wouldn't go then, so I sharpened the end
of a whip handle, and I pricked her, prick
ed her, pricked her, pricked her."
"Never mind, I pay you. Licked her,
kicked her, pricked her, licked her, kicked
her, pricked her."
"She wouldn't go then, so I got out and
I" (here the Yankee made a chirruping
noise with his tongue and lips which bid
defiance to orthography.)
"I cannot spell that.'
-0 you can't spell that ha? Well ye
needn't write any more for me."
"Need not write any more ?"
"No more." slid the Yankee.
"Not a word to close with ? '
"Nary a word."
"You will pay for what I have written."
"Not a red . . You did not write down
what I told you to."
'•`yell, sir, what am I to do with all
this paper I have spoiled ?"
"Keep it to tic up gape seal."
The Work of a Lifetime.
A New York paper in its Sunday gos
sip undertakes to show what a man _coo ;
slimes in a lifetime, in the way of food. It
says: If a man was placed on top of the
edibles he had devoured during his life,
what an appetizing sort of island he would
have to survey. At a low stratum of the
geological formation he would find thirty
oxen; thrown into the crevaces 200 sheep,
and in the g aps nicely stowed away 00)
lambs. Onebundred and twenty-five calves,
closely packed on top of that, would, make
a fair fbundation fbr upper layers compos
ed of 1,500 fowls, 300 turkeys, 200 geese,
and 500 ducks, in which might be stuck
like pebbles about 21,000 eggs. Bore
would-crop ont an upheaval of game beds,
coesistiug of venison, pheasants, and par
tridges. There would b.! a Ihir resting
place for 11,000 pounds of bread, 700
pounds of cheese, and 2,400 pounds of
butter. In a fissure might be safely stored
the half ton of salt and pepper with the
5,000 pounds of sugar. Through this lit
tle island might be flowing a rivulet of'
1,000 gallons of milk. Quite a fiver might
be represented by the 4.000 gallons of tea,
coffee and chocolate, while several springs
of oil, of vinegar and of various sances
might add variety to the scene Certain
ly along these water-courses might be seen
growing the 6,000 pounds of vegetables
which had been necessary to his existence.
Of course this island stands in the- midst.
of 5,200 gallons of strong fluids, hardly
more than enough to give space to the in
numerable fish and the 30,000 .oystershe
has devoured. One single point strikes
us at this stage. Who has calculated the
wear and tear on dish, platter, glass, knife,
fork and spoon necessary to serve up, to
drink, to cut and to label out this most
notable amount of food.
Lord Macaulay on the Sabbath,
Of course I do not mean, that the man
will not produce more in a week by work
ing seven days than by working six, but I
very much doubt whether, at the. end of
a year, he will generally hare produced
more by winking seven days than by work
ing six days a week ; and I firmly believe
that at the end of twenty years be will
have produced less by working seven days
a week than by working six days a week.
The natural difference between Campania
and Spitzbergen is trifling when compared
with a country inhabited by men sunk in
bodily and mental decrepitude. Therefore
it is that we are not poorer but richer be
cause we have through many agci rested
from our labor one day in seven, That
day is not lost.. While industry is suspend
ed, while the plow lice in the furrow, while
the exchange is silent, while na smoke as-'
cends from the factory, a process is going
on quite as important to the health of the
nations as any process which is performed
on more busy days. Man, the machine

which all the contrivances of the Watts
and Arkwright are worthless.—ia repair

the system than manual employment,

To Parents.
Are your children safe ? ~sy, softer,
respectable men and women ; are you eer
' tain your own dear children are safe 2—
Look at that drunkard? He is in tatters.
His eyes are bloodshot. His features are
distorted. His breath is like the hot air
from a furnace. His touch is pollution.—
From him the very brutes turn in disgust.
That poor remnant of mortality was once
a sweet :m•l pretty child. He was as fair
and as lovely as the infant, who it may be,
now sleeps in the cradle at your house.—
His mother washed and dressed and nursed
and kissed him. She played with hint
when he was awake, and watched over
him with fond affection, when he lay
asleep.
His father took hint in his arms and
with hope And pride folded his baby bey
to his bosom. And Mends came to that
happy home circle, and petted the child,
with Sincerity congratuliting the happy
parents. Who for a moment then fancied
':e could ever be in such a plight as that
n which we behold him.
Ohl can you fail to learn - ira heed
the lesson ? If you would not witness
your children transformed into such loath
some objects, but would have them grow
up like thrifty plants, and stand as sym
metrical and substantial columns in the
temple of State and the sanctuary of God,
you cannot begin too early to teach them
total abstinence.—Western Independent.
A Beautiful Thought.
We know not the author of the follow
ing, but it is one of the most beautiful
productions we ever read:
"Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing their own history.
The plant and pebble go attended by their
own shadow. The rock leaves its scratches
on the mountain side, the river its bed in
the soil; the animal leaves bone an the
stratum, the fern end leaf their modest
epitaph in the coal. The filling drop
makes its epitaph in the stone; not a foot
step in the snow or along the ground but
prints in characters more or less lasting a
map of its march; every act of man in
scribes itself on the memories of its follow
ers and in his own face. The air is full of
sound; the ground is all memoranda
signature ' • and every object is covered
over with hints which speak to the intelli
gent."
SLEEPING Toommu.—The "Laws of
Life" says :—"More quarrels arise between
brothers, between sisters,' between hired
girls, between school girls, between clerks
in stores, between apprentices, between
hired men, between husbands and wives;
owing to the electrical changes through
which their nervous systems go by lodging
together night after night, under the same
bed clothes, than by any other disturbing
cause. There is nothing that will so de
range the nervous system of a person who
is eliminative in nervous force, as to lie all
night in bed with another person who is
absorbent in nervous force. The absorber
will go to sleep and rest all night, while
the eliminator will be tumbling and toss
ing restless and nervous, and wake up in
the morning fretful, peevish, fault-firiding
and discouraged. No two persons , no
nutter who they are. should habitually
sleep together. One will thrive and the
other will lose. This is the law; and ,in
married life it is defied almost universally.
GIVING OUT A HYMN.—A good story
is told of the minister of a Methodist
chapel in Georgia, who having left his
spectacles at home on one occasion, intend
ed to announce to his congregatiOn that
the singing would be dispensed with. He
arose and said - : , •'
“My eyes are dim, I =nudism."
and immediately the chorister commenced
singing the words to the "Qnc Hundredth."
surprise and mortification made him almost
breathlesi , , but he made an effort to stam

This line,was taken up by the cougrega 7
tiqn in the szime manner, when the dun
inie, becoming much excited, exclaimed :
Forbear. I pray; my eyes are dim."
But remonstrance was vain, and the
singers went on till, in accents of-despair,
he again crie lout :
"1 throat tivean to read a hymn !"
a declaration sa palpable that it silenced
the vociferon.4 singers.
AN old Dublin beggar woman asked a
lady the other d.y.tbr a half penny.
-I've nothing for you," said she; bat if
you go to the soup-kitchen you'll get &
pint of excellmt soup."
"S.;up is it, ye mane-?" bawled the in
dignant mendicant ; "do ye call that stuff
soup? Sure I'll jist tell you how they
make it; they get a quart of water sad
then boil it down to a pint to make it
strong.
" WREN I am in pecuniary difficulties,"
said a pensive bankrupt, "my flowers, all
fresh and aparkling in the morning, - con
sole my heart."
"Indeed," responded his symPithiaing
friend; "I should havelhouqht they wonl43\,

for, like your bills, they are all over dew."
I WILL bet you a bottle of wine that
you will descend from that chair before I
ask you twice ? 'Done !' said the gentle
man, who seemed determined not to obey
the summons so obediently. "Come down,"”
"I will not." 'Then stop till I tell you a
second time."
The round figures of the railroad inter
est are easily learned and remembered; The
whole length of all the railways in the world
is 120,000 miles. The cost of the same
was in round uutubers ten billions of tio4-
'ars. Those of Great Britain are the most
costly, and those of the United States the
least so. The railway system of the viorld
is supposed to give employment to over one
persona.
The Washington Chronick says it is
thought at the War Department that du,
Indians are gait, to he very troublesome
this summer. !rho number of troops sta
tioned en the frontier seems inadequate to
protect the extent of territory open to In

are all considered hostile, and are commit

New Mexico.
