ANTIQUITIES.
VBABBLATtO VROB TOE OBnnAN,
There Is no song like an old song
That we have not heard for yuars j
Raoh simple note appears to throng
With shapes that swim in tears.
It may have been a cheerful strain,
But 'twas so long ago
That glee, grown old, has turned to pain,
And mirth has turned to woe.
There is no friend like an old friend,
Whose life-path mates our own,
l Whose dawn and noon, whoso ova and end
Have known what we have kaaaa.
. It may be when we read bis face
Wo note a traoe of care
'Tit well that friends in life's last grace
Share sighs and smiles they share.
Thore is no lore like an old lore,
A lost, may be, or dead,
Whose plaoe, sinoe she has gone above,
No other fills instoad.
It is not we'll ne'er love anew, - .
For life were drear If so,
But that first love bad roots'that grew
Where others oannot grow.
There art no days like tho old days,
When we, not they, were young;
When all life's rays were goidoo rays
And wrong had never stung.
Dear Heart I if now our steps could pass
Through paths of childhood's morn,
And the dew of youth lie on the grass
Which Time's fell soylhe has shown I
Old song, old friend, old love, old days j
Old things, yet never old ;
A stream that's dark till sunshine plays
And changes it to gold ;
Through all winds memory's rlrer on,
'Mid banks of sore regret,
But a gleam's on the peaks of long tgone
That softens sadness yet.
Ivory.
Ivory ii a beautiful and compact
aubalanco, obtained from the trunks
of tho elephant, the narwhal, tho wal
rus, and the hippopotamus, and also
from the tooth of some animals. Tho
bo6t and larcost sunnlv is. howovor.
from the oleplinut.
luo malo elopliant wuen lull irrown
has two tusks, varying considerably
in size in difToront animals, but most
valuod whon they aro large, straight,
and light in color. Those trunks are
hollow at thoir insertion into the jaw,
and for a considorablo spaco tboro
from, but become solid as they tapor
towards the extremity.- The princi
pal sources whonco trunks aro obtain
ed, are tho western coast of Africa
and Uindostan ; but tho African tusks
are most oe too mod, as boing densor in
tcxturo, and loss linble to turn yollow.
uy an analysis, tiie Air. can show a
proportion of animal to earthy matter,
of 101 pmU to 100; whilo in the In
dian it is 70 to 100.
The applications of ivory are so nu
merous that a largo domand for ele
phants' trunks has oxislod for a length
ened period. It is estimated that in
Sheffield, England, 180 tons of ivory
are annually worked into knifo ban-
llos, oto. Keckonmg tho average
weight of tho tusks at nine pounds, we
find that to supply that markot alone,
the annual slaughter of about 20.000
elephants is required. Whon we con
tomplate the various manufacturing
centros which consume vast quantities
of ivory for choss-mon, billiard balls,
koysof musical instruments, thin platos
for miniatures, mathematical and oth
er instruments, in addition to the
thousand other purposes for which it
is used throughout tho world, it is a
sourco of wondor that tho breed of the
elephant has not sensibly diminished.
The tusks of tho hippopotamus af
ford a very hard and white ivory.
These are usually short and much
curved, hollow at the place of inser
tion, and coverod with a glossy en
araol, and vary in woigbt from three
pounds to thirty.
Uroat economy is used in cutting
up tho tusks, so that the only waote
may do mat which arises Iron) the
passago of a thin saw botween the
several piocos into which it is divided:
and evon bero it can hardly bo tormod
waste, tor too clean saw-dust of the
ivory is Bomelimos used in making
jolly. Evory portion is, in fact, turned
to somo acoount, the outBido rind be
ing used for handles of pon-knivos.oto..
and the scraps burnod in rotorts for
too manulocturo ol ivory black, used
in coppor-plate printers' ink, and for
othor purposes. Tho saw used in cut
ting up the ivory is about tho fortieth
of an inob thick, with rather coarse
teeth, about five or six to the inch, and
is stretchod in a stool framo to koop it
very tonso.
A substitute for ivory is commonlv
tormod "vogotablo Ivory," tho fruit of
a speoios ol palm imported from Porn,
is largoly manufactured into the many
forms for which tho roal ivory is for
merly usoa. mis truit at lirst con
tains a cloar insipid fluid, with which
travolors quench thoir thirst: this fluid
afterwards becomos gradually swoot
and milky, and at longtb acquiros sol
idity, so as to bo hard as ivory. If
the fruit bo gnthored while tht juico
m nuiu, mo lauor soon Docomos acid;
but whon allowed to attain porfootion,
the kornols aro of sufficient hardness
to bo employed by the Indians as
knobs for walking-stickB. reels of spin-
dlos, and little toys, which aro while,
and perfectly hard whilo dry; if they
are put undor water they soaon, but
on drying thoir hardnosi is restored.
Vcgotablo ivory is in fact tho alhumon
or nutritious substanco surrounding
tue emuryo, ana which in somo othor
palms, as tho cocoanut, constitutes a
L la . . ...
uoauviiui Biiu nrm suDitanco lining the
Bholl. Tho vegetable ivory is inofosod
in a bard rind, some of whioh goner
ally adheres to it as imported. The
Down lntlm has a similar albumen,
which is turned into boads for rosaries.
Rev. Henry Alicor.D. I)., one of the
oldost ministers of the Baltimore con
ference, died in that oity on the 21st,
aged 74 years. Ho was at one tiuio
chaplain or the United States Sonato,
and for many years one of the most
distinguished divines of tho Molhodist
Charon.

The Sick Boom.
For this apartmont, especially in
wintor, tho sunniest room in the house
Bhould bo soloctod. Thoro is a life
and hoaling in tho solar ray, evon if
its light, which is only a part of the
ray, is oxoludod. Wo all feel instant
ly, on entering a room on which the
sunlight nover falls, a chill and an ab
sonco of something essential to cheor
and brightness. Observation shows
that in hospitals more patients die in
shady than in the sunny wards, and In
cities disease is more fatal on the shady
sido of tho stroot tlmu on the opposite.
Next ill importance to Bunshino in
tho sick room is ventilation. If well
peoplo nood fresh air, much more do
they that aro sick. A free circulation
of air must bo provided . without en
dangering at all tho safety of the pa
tiont. In coot weathor an open stove
(if possible, a soap-stone stove), with
a wood fare, is perhaps as enoctive snd
pleasant a molbod as any othor of
securing this.
The aspect of the room should bo
inviting and pleasant. If the walls
aro naked, bring the pictures from
mat shut-up room, the parlor or too
guost-cbarabor, and hang them where
tho patient can enjoy them, Sot a
roso or goranium in tho window. If
plants wore unhealthy, the air of groon
liouscs would bo dill'crcnt from the
outer air, which is not the caso. For
the sako of tbo nurse, we would have
the sick room on the first floor, to save
tho inconvenienco and fatigue of con
tinual running up and down stairs;
for tho sake of tbo pationt wo would
havoiton tho socond floor, which is
usually mora quiet and moro thorough
ly warraod than tbo first. If it is on
tho Bccond floor, lot every convonience
bo providod that can save stops a
broom, dun I pan, pokor, tongs, by all
moans an earth-closet, and everything
cIbo that is likely to como into fre
quent requisition so tbut everything
nocossary to bo dono can bo attonded
to with tho utmost facility. It is the
want of liltlo conveniences at band
that rendors nursing in private fami
lies so fatiguing.
Tbo utmost tidiness and cleanliness
should bo secured in the sick room.
Tho sonscB of the patient, rendered
acuto by disease, mako disorder and
dirt ten-fold moro trying than they
aro in health. Evory soiled dish or
cloth Bhould bo at once romovod from
tho room, and no accumulations of
anything disugreoable permitted. We
hoard a young gentleman of refine
ment and culture say once that he
should bave married a young lady if
nor oroinir s sick room, in which she
was nurse, had not boon so untidy.
Not, however, from interested motives.
should tbo nurse abhor nntidinoss, but
because it is in itself abborent. "Clean
liness is noxt to godliness."
Well-aired bedding is essontial to
the comfort of tho pationt. This can
bo secured with a liltlo management.
The pationt may be rcmovod to an
oasy chair or a loungo, and tho bed
ding be thoroughly shaken out of
doors, ii too weathor is lair, or in a
room with tho windows opened, if tho
weather is foul; then warmed by the
fire and put upon the bed. None but
tho sick aro fully alive to the blessed
ness ot clean sheota. How much of
disoase is only tho choking in one
iorm or anotoar oi tho natural outlots
of tbo body !
The comfort of the pationt in many
casos is greatly increased bv bathing.
A cloth wrung from topid saloratus or
soda water may be passed over th
Douy under the Bedclothes, and, ir fol
lowed by a dry towol, there is little
danger that the patient will take cold.
It thoro must bo light in the room
all nigbt, by all moans use tapors. A
box of thoso, costing ton con to, can be
bought at the apothecary's, and will
last a good many wooks. Each box
contains a tiny socket or circle of tin
with three sharp points, each holding
a uib ui uurK ; into mis BOCKOt sou a
Dutton-mould a quarter of an inch in
diameter, with a holo in the middlo. in
which is insortod a bit of waxed wick
ing. The wholo affair, not largor in
circumforonce tban a walnut, floats on
tho surface of a cup or tumblor full of
mra on. it givos a vory soft and
pleasant light, and is porfoctly safe.
Korosono lamps cannot bo turned
down without filling tho room with
unoonsumod products of combustion,
which aro very unwholesome ; candles
and oil lamps aro apt tO'Bmoko. The
tapor is economical, pleasant and safe.
e have beon thus circumstantial in
doscribing this little contrivanco so
that those at a distance from drug
storos can mako it for themselves. In
the nursory it is invaluablo. An out
lay of 83 con Is will koop a light in the
sick room for months.
Tho nurse shall be "vigilant, prompt,
firm, obodiont, solf-posaossod, her pres
ence a balm, bor step soft, her eye
liko May morning, hor voico a lulla
by." V ith these qualifications, and a
room that wo have suggested, it would
bo almost a pleasure to be comforta
bly sick.

Novel Bemedy for Hysteria.
Dr. Brown-Sequard says: Tboduugh
tor of a friond of mino was attacked
with a fit of hystoriit evory morning.
I Bucccodod for a time in broaking up
the fit by the use of violont moans for
half an hour before the paroxysm was

Triat, who was far more daring than
I am, and was in tho habit of trailing
hysteria in a vory bold and unique
way. Ho used to take his patients, as
ho did this lady, up a ladder, aftor
having bandaged thoir eyes so thnt
thoy could sco nothing.
Aftor they had ascended to the
hoight of about twonty foct, he mado
them walk very oarelully on a plank
that was about sevon or eight inches
in width. Ho, of courso, was a gym
nast, and accustomed to walk thore,
so that ho could easily load the per
son lorward. VVbon the young lady
had reached the middlo of ibe plank,
which was pretty long for it was a
large gymnasium ho said to his pa
tient, "Now you are porfoctly safe,
and thore is no possibility of your fit
coming on again. ' II o had previ
ously assured Tier that this moans was
infullible ; had referred to hundreds
of provious cases, and exaggerated his
success in ordor to act on the mind bf
tho patient.

imagino, of falling. Aftor a minuto

bandago and opened her eyos. For

ever occurred thoro. - How many pa

was certainly cured.
Henry Clay Dean.
The St. Joseph, Mo., Gazette relates
this story: W. L. Tribbo, attorney
for tho Florence Sewing Machine Com
pany, St. Louis, enlivened our edito
rial rooms yesterday. Ho tells a good
one on the lalo Austin Brooks, editor
of the Quincy herald. Mrs. Brooks
is remarkably neat in every respect,
and least of all can she tolorato a man
with a soiled shirt front. Ono day
Mr. Brooks invited Henry Clay Dean
(bottor known as "dirty shirt" Dean
homo to dinner. Mrs. Brooks was
ahocked at bis filthy appearance and
privately assured ber husband that
she could not cat with a man in such
a shirt. Mr. B. told bor Dean was a
great man, a prominent politician and
a particular friend of bis, but to no
purpose ; that dirty shirt overshadow
ed all bis virtues. At longtb a com
promise was agreed upon. Brooks
was to invito Bean to tho bath-room,
induce bim to astonish his person wilb
soap and water, and havo ono of his
(lirooks ) shirts ready for bim when
be came out of the tub, Doan submit
ted witb bad grace, dippod himself
orieny and donned lirooks shirt.-
Immediately after dinner Mrs. Brooks
went to the bath-room, lifted Dean's
cast off shirt with a broomstick and
carefully pitched it out at tho window.
Four years later Dean came again,
and was required to go through the
same process. On going to tho bath
room Mrs. Brooks was horrified to
find that tho shirt Dean bad takon off
this time was the same ho had put on
at hor house four years before, and still
bore tho name "Brooks" in indoliblo
ink.

Japanese Dwellings.
The streets of Yokohama are wide
and straight. Each bouse is built of
wood, without an atcm of paint, and is
a real toy-houeo, a genuine Lilliputian
Swiss chalet, built with a tasto, a
nicety, and a neatness which are ad
mirable The Japanese aro wondorful
workors in wood, and it is a pleasure to
sco tho roofs, so light and yet so strong,
Bupportod by walls that aro made,
like thesido-sconoB in a thcatro, of thin
strips of wood, over which are pasted
shoots of cottony transparent paper.

The Witchery of Manners. Al
most evory man can recall scores of
cases within bis knowledge where
pleasing manners havo made the for
tune of lawyers, doctors, divines, mer
chants, and, in short, men in evory
walk of life. Raleigh flung down his
laced coat into the mud for Elizabeth
to walk on, and got for bis reward a
proud Queen's favor. Tbo politician
who has this advantage easily distances
all rival candidates, for overy votor bo
speaks witb becomes instantly bis
friend. Tbo very tones in which he.
asks for a pinch of snuff are often more
potont tban the logic of a Webster or
a Clay. Polished manners have ofton
made scoundrels successful, while the
best of mon, by thoir hardness and
coldnoss, bave done themselves incal
culable injury tbo shell boing so
rough that tbo world could not bcliovo
there was a preoious kernel within.
Civility is to a man wbat beauty is to
a woman. It croatos an instantaneous
impression in bis behalf, while tho op
posite quality excites as quick a preju
dice against bim. It is a real oroa
mont the most beautiful dress that
man or woman can wear and worth
more as a moans of winning favor than
the finest clothes and jowols ever worn.
Tho gruffest man loves to be appre
ciated ; and it is oftoner the sweet
smilo of a woman, which we think in
tondod for us alone, than a pair of
Juno-liko eyes, or "lips that soom on
rosos fod.' that bewitches our heart;
and lays ns low at the foot of bor whom
we afterward marry.
Humor and Sarcasm. It is not
everybody who knows where tojoko,

noithor good manners nor wise polioy .
to joko at anybody's oxponso; that is
to say, make anybody unoomforlablo
moroly to raise a laugh. Old Esop,
who was doubtloss the subject of many
a gibe on aocount of his humped back,
tolls tho wholo story in his fablo of
"The boys and tbo frogs." What was
jolly for tho youngsters waa death to
tho croakors. A jost may cot deeper
than a curso. Somo mon are so con
stituted that thoy cannot take a friend-
ly joko in good part, and, instead of
ropnying it in the same light coin, will
requite it witb oontumely and insult.
Never banter ono of this class, or bo
will brood over your bandinago long
after you havo forgotton it, and it is
not prudont to inonr any ono's enmity
for the purpose of uttering a sharp

gerous weapon. Satire, however,
when loveled at social lollies and polit
ical evils, Ib not only logitinate but
coramondable. It has shamed down
