Life hoc Its Spring, whoa rarest blooming dowers
With sweetest rregraoce 011 the balmy air
And richest pleaeuree erowa the eunlit hours,
While all of earth seems olotbod in beauty fair.
Life has Its Summer, when the golden eun
bbinee from tbe eenilh of proud manhood's life ;
a nen are tbe trophies OI tbe battle won,
Amid the warring of this earthly strife.
Life has Its Autumn, when the fading leaf,
Foretells the desoletlon coon to come,
And o'er the life there broods a alleot grief
While homoleea beans are loaging fur a home.
Life heslts Wioter, when beneath the Mow,
Lie burled all the hopes nod all tbe Joys of life ;
And la tbe West tbs failing sun is low,
Then ecu and ends the day or weary strife.

easily oDlainod, but statements of re
sponsible physicians, having each s
large oountry practice, in widely sepa
rated portions of the United States,
prove tbo importance of judicious sani
tary measures in rural as well as mu
nicipal localities. One observes that
"one-third of tbe autumnal sickness of
this region might be pruvenlod by
systematic drainage of farm lands.
without detriment to their agricultural
value' Says another, "about fifiv tier

agroo that a largo proportion of the
maladies coming under their notice
are attributable to the insidious poison
emanating from decomposing animal
and vegetable matter.
Tho purest country air is less pure
than is commonly supposed ; a fact
demonstrated to visitors of Mammoth
Cave, who, on emorging aflor breath
ing for sovornl hours the air of the
cave, which is almost absolutely freo
from noxious gases, find the outor air
laden with oppressive odors, and de
pressing in ita influence on the aystem.
Miasmatic exhalations arise from
every awamp, and waysido pool, from
the decaying torcst leaves, and many
other olijocta that are hardly thought
of as prejudicial to good health. This
particular form of the evil reachos its
minimum in billy regions, whore tho
tilted strata supply natural drainage;
while its maximum is found is such ex
tensive areas as exists in Indiana, Illi
nois, and othor portions of the West,
where vast deposits of alluvial and
lacustral aoil cover nearly level sedi
mentary beds, allowing but vory slug,
gish removal of marshy accumulations.
Tho cultivation of tho surface soil,
and tho drainage made for agricultural
purposes, have gradually redeemed
large tracts of wetland in the regions
montioncd ; yot much remains to be
dono, and it is gratifying to soo that
stops are being taken by somo of the
states embracing prairies and broad
rivor bottoms, to invostigato tho rela
tion between the hydrographies! feat
ures of the country and the prevalence
of malaria and xymotio.
Stato and local health commissions
aro instituted with authority to collect
vital and sanitary statistics, and to
havo charge of public moasuros for re
moving the causes of disease from all
parts of the Stato ; omitting, however,
two vory important links from the
chain of a perfect organization ; namo
ly, polico power to enforce good hoalth
laws in rural districts, and means to
defray oxponsos of straightoninecrook-
od streams, to increase tho velocity of
too current, digging canals to relievo
wot lands from overflow, and doing
other things that might coat a consid
erable sum ot money, but would add
largely to tbe reputation ot the Slate
for salubrity, and thus bring a rich
reward.
Tho first annual report of tho Health
Commission of ono ot our largest and
most populous interior States has lately
appeared, full of facts as lo the do
ficientsowerage of cities, nnd its almost
ntter neglect in smaller towns and
villagos, and in rural localities; also
showing the inevitable connection be
tween the causes and prevalence of
rorms 01 sicitness that might Do en

small outlay. And what is true of
Indiana would also bo true of other
States similarly situated as to a lack
of natural drainago.
Look at the atill more level Stnto ot
Illinois, with ita vast prairies and fur
tile bottoms. Tbo seworago of all tho
cities is emptied into tho adjacent
streams, which havo usually a sluggish
flow, and it is hardly asked whitor tho

Often this seems to bo the only avail
able modo of getting rid of It, all ex

It is to be hoped that somo apparatus

the Scientific American, will bo intro

sumption of rcluso wilhout sending it
down some stream to contaminate tho
surrounding country.
About ten years ago tbo courso of
tho Chicago liivcr was artificially re
versed, so that instead of running as
ithad dono forages into Lake Michigan
it emptied itself and its accumulation
of street filth and offal into the Illinois
River, coursing completely across tho
citato, lho bonchcial result to tho
city was vory great ; but lor lfiO miles
down tho Illinois Kirer loud complaints
were mado of a marked increase ol
zymotic diseases, and a romarkulilo
mortality among tho fish in that stream
seemed to prove that lho water had
boon poisoned. Tho fact is worth noting
in passing, that tho fish appeared to
grow used to the changed condition of
affairs; but during tho past Wintor
tho ice bound water not being properly
oxygenated for a long timo, many fish
diod, while others in immense numbers
congrcgatod below tbo dam at Henry,
whoro tho constant agitation of the

And at tho somo time there was an

THE REVISION.
Dr. Philip ScharT, Chairman ot tho
American Branch of tho Bible Revis
ion Committee, addressed a large au
dience at Pittsburgh recently on the
subject of the revised Now Testament.
After briefly roviowing the different
translations mado from time to timo
the speaker said that for fifty years
there bad boon a growing domand for
a now translation. There were two
reasons for such a revision, first, the
changes in languages, and socond, tho
progress in biblical scholarship. Ev
ory living language, he said, changes
from timo lo timo. Certain words havo
changed to direct opposite meanings,
such as "prevent" used in the sense ot
"precedo," "lot" for"hinder," "carriago"
for "baggage," "by and by" for "forth
with," Ac.
Tho most important reason, howev
er, is tho growth of knowledge. The
forty-seven porsons who made the
King James translation had none-of
them been in Palestine, and know littleot
biblical geography. They were thus
liuUo to make errors, and did mako
many. Sinco then Egypt has given
np her treasures, Siani has been ex
plored, Palostino has boon traversed.
Babylon and Ninovch have rison from
their graves to testify to the truth of
the bible, and lend their manuscripts!
and inscriptions to the explanation of
its passages.
Older manuscripts sinco discovered
have boon dsod in tho prosont revision,
and many actual errors reclined
"Strain at a gnat" has boon changed
to "strain out a gnat, and a great
many such typographical errors have
boon corrected. The two words in the
original wore both translated "holl" in
tbo King James version "hados,'
meaning lho abodoof souls after doath
and "gehenna." moaning the abode ot
tho damned. In the revision this has
been corrected. So also has the dis
tinction between "devil" and "demon"
been brought out.

THE WONDERS OF MIMICRY.
A very striking illustration of tho
possibility of mimicry without drollery
was anordod once by the famous tou
lon, who may be described as at once
the fool and physician at tbo court of
one ot tho Louises. Ho actually mim
ickod tho doccascd Minister Villole
with such accuracy as to afford tbo
menus of painting what has been do-
elared to be a wonderfully faithful
portrait. It appeared that after tbe
death of the minister his friends were
grieved to find that there was no sat
isfactory portrait of bim in existence.
Coulon was present when expression
was given to tboir regret at tho cir
cumstance, and agreed with them that
no likeness ot tho deceased statesman
represented, aa be said, "tho profound
subtlety of his character and his evan
esccnt expression." As he spoke he
assumed tbo loaturcs, expressions, at
titude, and tonoot voico ot the dopart
ed man witb the most startling accu
racy, and was at once requested to sit
tor a portrait. As to tbo features
something, wo suppose, must he ac
credited to the imagination of the be
holders. 1 he artist probably was sat
isfied to catch the expression from the
mimic s face and to rely on his memo
ry or interior portraits tor tbo dclinoa
lion of features, unless the two men
bore a resemblance to each other to a
degreo which would have robbed the
performance of much of its merit.
One of the most remarkable facts
about the most skillful of mimics is
that they are able to overcome the
apparently insuperable difficulty pro
sontod by the endless and radical fea
ture, and will give to a face an aspect
and expression which have been char
acteristic of somo visago totally differ
ent in overy respect. There can be
no doubt also that this is the real se
cret of much of the power of amusing
possossed by tho mimic. Tbo vaga
ries of expression, voice, tone, attitude,
and nttorance present a constant series
ot striking incongruities. That which
in one person requires a vory koon
observation to catch, and is not par
ticularly striking when it is caught, is
no sootier donned by somo totally dis
similar person than it becomes ludi
crously incongruous, and is found to
be irresistibly amusing. There waa

means of correcting them, and of mak

reports that he said : "Manytoachors
our publio schools were until to
teach children. They were lackfteg in
character. The Directors should see
to it that such persons are not em
ployed. The teacher should be good,
honest, upright, and should possess
brains enough to teach what he knows.
As betwoen character and brains, we
would prefer character. The remarks
of Superintendent Uigbce were listened
to with attention, and when he closed
be was greeted with a heavy round of
pplauee. '1 be audience felt that be
had tho courage and firmness to meet
and battle with every difficulty in the
