A little boy hat sought a pump
from which the sparkling water burst,
And drank with eager joy the draught
That kindly quenched his raging thirst;
Then gracefully be touched his cap—
" I thank you,•Mr. Pump," he said;'
For this nice drink you've given me
(This little boy had been well bred.) "
"Then said the pump : "My little man,
You're welcome to whit I have done ;
But I am not , the one to thank—
I only help the water run."
"Oh, then," the little follow said,
(Polite he always meant to be), .
"Cold Water, please accept my thanks.
Yon have been very kind to me.". . • •
" Ali!" said Cold Water " don't thafii
Far up the hillside lives the Spring ,
That sends me forth with generous hand
•To gladden every living thing." 1'
"I'll thank the Spring, then: said the l .boy,
And gracefully ho bowed his head.
"Oh, don't thank me, my little man,"
The Spring; with silvery acceilts,•said
" Oh, don't thank me—for what am I ,
Without SO Denkand Summer Bain?
Without their aid I no'cr could quench
Your thirst, my little boy, again."
" Oh, well; then," iaid - ther little boy,
`•I'll gladly thank the Rain and-Dew."
"Pray, don't thank ua—nithout the Sun
We could not fill one cup for you."
J. N. CALM
"Then, Mr. Sun, ten thousand thanks i
For all that you hive done for me,"
"Stop!" said the San, with blushing face,
"My little felipwZdon't thank me;
was from the Ocea n's mighty stores
I drew this draught I gave to thee."'
"Oh, Ocean, thanks!" then the bay.
"It echoed back,. "Not unto me— ,
" Not unto me but unto Him
Who formed the depths in which I IL, _.
Go with thy thanks, my little boy,
To Ilhn who willihy wants snyply."
Tho boy took off his cap and said,
In tones eo gentle and subdued,
o , God, I thank Thee for this gut;
Thou art the Giver or all gOod."
—Geod 'Words.
As some of lyour readers may feel
interested in reading -an account of
a trip which was to me one of great
pleasure, I propose with your per
mission, to give some of -my experi
ence during a month on the conti
nent of Europe, most of which, how
ever, was spent in Italy.
We left London by the London &
Brighton Railway, on a dismal, fog
gy, and rainy evening in •Januaiy, at
about eight o'clock. We reached
Newhaven about ten o'clock, and
immediately went aboard the little
steamer, "Orleans,": which• was to
take us over the eighty miles of chan
nel between there and Dieppe.\ We
found the cabin quite cosyin appear
ance, but as- the water outside, was
very rough, and everything promis
ed a "nasty" night. All the passen
gets disposed themselves in the most
comfortable manner with referen.m
to the inevitable sea-sickness. Soon
everybody was 'stretched out on the
bard sofas arranged about the out
side of the cabin. We got under
way at last, and almost immediately
were tossing up and down in the
Channel, when the chorus commenc
ed with a unanimity that was appal
ling to any sanguine individual who
thought he would escape. For nine
dreadful hours the vessel rolled and
kicked up its heels and went through
with every imaginable gymnastic per
formance. A very empty set of atom-.
achs went through the Custom Hone
at Dieppe, and hastened to the near
est hotel to be replenished.
Dieppe is a very quaint old town,
with -narrow streets, and women
clumping about in wooden shoes, and
white caps on their heads. 'On our
way to the station,' we spent a few
minutes in the Cathedral of St. Ja
ques, an immense tumble-down
structure of very, ancient appearance
built 'of stone, in the,thirteenth cen
tury. We, were soon speeding along
through picturesque NOrinandy to
minis Paris-- passing Lorgneville,
where a battle was, fought - during
the late war, and Rouen, the ancient
capital'of NormandY, famous as the
place where was executed Joan of
Arc, and where William the Con
queror died. Herfti we were overta
ken by night, which shut out any
further views of -the country. We
pissed the night in Paris, and early
next morning took the train for Ge
neva, passing along the banks, of the
beautiful Seine, which I was disap
pointed to find so small a stream, it
being much smaller than the. Sus
quehanna at Towanda. The country
resembles that along the N. Y. Cen
tral Railroad, between Syracuse ,and
Utica, but the absence of fences Pre
sented a notable contrast •to New
York State. On through the Forest
of Fontaineblen to Tonterre, where
we took breakfast on cafe au fait and
various other French dishes with
unpronounceable names; through
Dijon with its ancient churches, to
Macon, where we chapged carriages
and took the train for Geneva; the
one we left going on , to:Lyons and
Marseilles. It had now become dirk
but as we flew along we could , get
i-ccasional glimpses of the Alps tow
ering above us. At Bellegarde the
polite Swiss Custom House Official
asked for our passport; but , je suis
Americain was sufficient to account
for its absence, and to satisfy the
officer, who touched his hat and
passed on without interfering with
our baggage. We reached_ Geneva
about twelve o'clodk at night, cold
and tired out.

train would plunge into a timnel and
out again over a precipice that would
bring one's heart into his I throat to
look over. We reached Chambiery
in Savoy soon after dark—Spent the
night in a hotel like a fortress. It
had no windows , opening on the,
street, from the first story„ and• the
carriage drove into an enclosed court
throngh a massive stone portal,
strong eiough to defy an army.
Early in the morning NV, renewed
our journey, passing constantly thro'
the grandest imaginable I abenery.
Lofty peaks rose up in every direc
tion, some of them. far 'above the
"elocids. WR wound around, in and
out among them, traveling for along
distanoe beside the road built by Na
poleon I. over the Alps, gradually as
cending higher and , higher; until we
found the ground and ,mountains all
covered with . snow. Late in the
afternoon, we reached ?declare, , the
last station this side -of the famous
Mt. Cenis tunnel. Here, after hav
ing our baggage examined by the
Custom House officers, we I got into
Italian carriages, lighted by, gas,,,and
continued our journey, everybody on
the gut: trice for a view of the en-,
trance to the tunnel. After winding
along for some time we found 'that ,
Modem, which we had just left, was
almost under us, several hundred
feet below, but so near 'that a stone
could be tossed into the town; then
we passed through a short tunnel,
and immediately after plunged into
the great Mt. Cenis tunnel and were
flying through the heart of the Alps.
For half an hour we sped along, the
sir seemingly as pure as outside
every little while passing lights - at
the side of the track. It was just
'beginning' to grow tiresome, when
out we rushed into the Open air
again ; and the train stOplped! Every
body's head popped out of the win
dow to see the mountain we had
passed through. There was very
little snow on this side ; 'and the
mountain appeared almost as bald as
a. rock, and in every direction it
loblied as bleak and dreary is possi
ble'. (For the information of the
curious who may not remember the
exabt figures, I will say that the Tun
nel is eight miles in length; at the
north entrance 3,802
,feet, l l at the
south entrance 4,163, feet, and in the
center 4, 245 feet aboVe the i level of
the sea. The mountain is 8,438 feet
or more than a mile' and a half
high.) •
We passed on over frightful preci
pices, by the city of Snsa, and on to
wards Turin. In every available spot
on this side the mountains, were
planted vineyards, and there was an
economy of space manifested that
would have astonished a Bradford
county farmer. It was after dark
when we reached Turin. We only
stopped there a few minutes to
change carriages, and the principal
thing I recollect about the place, is
being nearly suffocated by smoke
and fog in the immense' railway sta
tion. Our destination that night
was Milan, and about twelve o'clock,
very cold and euncomfortable, we
reached there, where I will bid you
good-bye until next week.
SOCIAL Iter...wrioss IN FBANCE.—The
lions which pind relations - together
are close and strong; hence the pru
dence exercised by parents !in the
choice of a husband for a daughter,,
or a wife for a son.' The man who
marries the daughter also marries
her family, to the cousin german.
The parents look at a possible hus
band for their daughter with I a view
to a close and constant association,
and they exercise a vigilant watch
lest her affections should become en
gaged in a quarter not approved by
them. The parental authority is ad-
Mitted to such an extent, that if. the
Young man were to propose 'a mar
riage to their daughter, withont con
'puking them, he would be held as a
dishonorable man; the proposition is
made to them, and they give the an
ewer in some instances without the
.:daughter's knowledge. This, brings
about solidarity in the family, com-'
Posed of 'members predisposed to
kindliness and sympathy, and it, also
gives rise to uneasiness when a new
element is presented for admission,
lest it should disturb harmony.
Through intimacy and syMpathy,
they have accommodated themselves
to each other'l3 habits and caprices,
and have succeeded in living; in the
same groove. The French are much
attached to their habits, the proof of
which is, that they can never entire
ly accommodate themselves to those
of other lands, but after a season of
nostalgia return to those of their na
countiy. This tenacity to habit
sometimes assumes a form that is In

TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAY 7,1874.
In turning over some sAd . papers
in a countrrattict some time since,l
came across the following sentimens;
which, from some hints by the author
accompanying, I think he intended
eventually to put into verse. They
struck me, even in prose, as express
ing the cry from so many hearts,
that I have ventured •to copy them
,and send them to • you, hoping_ you
might think them a healthy relief
from the - absorbing political topics
of the day, and give them a corner
in your valuable paper
When the heart oppressed with
anxious cares, when the world looks
cold and drear,. when black diaap
pointments han g, heavy' round our
necks; and we hunger after a love
that seems ever to recede, whither do
our souls turn for succor ? To that
mother in heaven who never failed
Mt while here. ' •
When our heartd ache to find
ourselfta no longer needed to par
take in the pleasures of our children
—scarcely welcome even• to share in
their sorrows; when cold duty takes
the place of the heart's offerings in
sickness or suffering, to whom i elo we
cast our eyes upward, thinking, oh,
were she here, whom should we find
ever at our side ? Our mother in
heaven.
When those we love have gone
astray, and language fails to express
the bitter Shame; when the little feet
whose first tottering steps we have
upheld, or watched through the firm
er strides of youth and manhood,
have turned into devious paths, heed
less of entreaty or prayer, whither
we turn, longing to rest our weary
heads on the, bosom that ever an
swered our cry for sympathy The
mother in heaven.
When years have passed, and we
Fe l left alone, children gone some
separated by seas or mountains,
others G by the greater distance,l of
coldneths, whose voice then comes
back to ns with the lbving - tones we
vainly long to hear once more ? The
dear mother in heaven:
•
IS not the' wish wrung from :us,
that once again we were children to
be clasped in that warm embrace?
Do not the bitter tears come as we
remember how unmindful we were of
the rich motherly blessings while we
had them?
Oh, ye, who still have mothers to
feel for you in your joys, ,and your
sorrows; remember, however your
hearts.may change!, theirs never do;
the =Other's' heart is the one thing
that never- grows - old.. Amid the
trials that Must be our portion in
this world, a good Being has sent to
all one blessing—one love purer than
all others. Happy are those who,
with anguish and remoras,' do not
have to say, It is our mother in
heaven. s
A writer in a late periodical, giving
an account of a visit to the Church
of Santa Croce, in Florence, says:
" Over the main entrance are tile
the original letters I . H placed
there by 'St. Bernardino, of Sienna,
who invented them in 1437, after the
plague, to 'denote the 'name and mis
sion of Jesus—Jesus HOminum Sal
vator."

There seems , to be a 'general mis
apprehension concerning the origin
and meaning of this monogramatic
emblem, notwithstanding that it is
in common use in both Protestant
and. Roman Catholic churches. It
ornaments chancel walls and win
dows, it is carved upon altars and
pulpits, it is embroidered on eccle
siastical vestments, and is stamped
on the covers of sacred books. Many
Christiana regard it with an almost
superstitious veneration, as if it pos
sessed some peculiar inherent holi
ness, some hidden efficacy; whereas ;
in the present form, it has no mean
ing, and, Apart from its associations,
is possessed of 'no more significance
as ;a religious emblem than wculd be
any other three letters of the alpha
bet arranged in a similar consecutive
order. Historically considered, it
possesses some' interest, for it em
balms forever the stupidity or the
carelessness of early transcribers of
the Nett/ Testament, who did not
know, or did not distinguish the , dif
ference between Greek and Roman
letters.
In its proper form it is simply an.
abbreviation of, the name of. Jesus,
and it is nearly as old as the Chris
tian era. It is used continually in
the. 4 ), COd - eic Sinaiticus," which is
consi4ered by many scholars to be
the oldest known manuscript of -the
Holy Scriptures, antedating even the
" Vaticanns." It is fonund also in
the other " Codices; and in very
many secular manuscripts, from the
early centuries down to the time of
the invention of printing. Many in
stances of it may be seen in Carle 's
facsimiles in his " Catalogues of the
King's MSS;" notablyin the charter
of Barking Abbey, of the early date
of A. D. 670. , -
The Greek form of Jesus is Jesous.
From a_ little before the Christian
era down to the time of the inven-
tion of printing, the ancient letter,
sigma (English 8) was superceded
by C, a later form of sigma, and hav
ing the same powers and sound. In
all the New Testament manuscripts
of this date, Jesus appears as tacovo,
or, father, it would appear so if it
were written out in frill.. Bat to save
time and labor the early copyists, ab
breviated all the frequently recurring
words, a nd we . find the name of Jesus
almost invariable contracted to r n a,
s,l line, across the top being the sign
of abbrevation. The middle letter. H
inthe Greek eta (Roman E), and the
whofe - equivalent to the. Boman
or English us, or, the I and the
being: identical to no, the-first, sec,
ond, and last letters of .the. Immo of
Jesus._ In the Latin transcriptions
of the: Creek abbreviation IHO was
retained, the declensional termina
tions being changed to suit the Latbi
cues. In the course of time .the
norant scribes who Copied the manu
scripts, confounded the Greek with
the Boman letters and- wrote it ma
having no conception, . probably, that '

Finally, still another change took
place. The dash, the sign of abbre
ti
viation, became a cross, thus, lIIS ;
and then it was discovered that "Je
sus Homninm Salvator ", was tom
prehended in'the three letters, a very
pretty and suggestive explication,
but unfortunate in that it furnishes
additional proof ! that. the 'copyints
mistook the middle letter for the Ro
man H. Ignatue Loyola, the foun
der of the Order of Jesus," evident
ly fell into the Same error. In the
great seal of the order the' symbol
IRS
- 1
appears as IRS in the midst - of ema
nating rays of light ; with the three
nails of the arose beneath, arranged
like a fan, with !the points inward.
This, sometimes written also
is used for the , abbreviation of "In
Hoe Cram Sahni."
The symbol ofi Jesus was probably
not used otherwise than as, a manu
script abbreiriation until about the
beginning of the fifteenth century,
when it began tb be employed a
distinct emblem iin calligraphic onia
mentation, and shortly aftertiard in
church decoratichi. The letters are
found combined in a , variety of
shapes, often making a very pleasing
and artistic monogram. A singular
one described b ktolanno, is , worth
mentioning. Mt says: "In the win
dow in the Orphan Asylum in Lou
4ain, a building which belonged for
merly to the Jesuits, are depicted be
twixt the end letters I and, S Broth
ers Ignatius and each look
ing toward the other and grasping
right hands, .which hold an upright
cross, thus forming the middle letter
H."
St. Bernardins, Of Sienna, may
have been the first to use the IHS aO
a sacred .emblem in church orriamen.i r
tation;,but he certainly did not in
'vent the symbol, nor is it probablci
that he was tha originator of the le
gend, Jesus Hominum Salliator.
POWER OF TliE-1414D.
It may be going too far ; to say that,
than may judge the character of his
fellow man by the manner in which'
he "shakes hands."l But there is,
certainly a significance in those busy,
:members of the body *bleb "hei
who runs may road."l The creator of
" Uriah Heel) " has taught us not to,
trust the owners of limp, moist hands,
which acme cordially on nothing'save
their own possessions. Says a com
menter on this subject: "It is the,
touch of the hand at greeting which;
warms or chills my heart, and makes,
me know to a certainty how much o n
how•little I shall like the person be-,
fore .me. If the fingers dose. abont,
my own with a short, quick, convul-,
sive grasp, I know that we should
snap, snarl, and finally quarrel, and
that the least I have to do with the
owner of those wiry digits, the better
Off I shall be. If a nerveless, cold,
hand g lides into my dwn, and seems'
dispos d to lie there ,] without life, 1
know t once that all my happiness
would be as nothing in that awful
palm." But if the hand grasps yews
and holds it fimrly, in strong,
warm fingers, you are safe in culti
vating the friendship of 'the owner.
These human hands !Flom the be
ginning of life they Oay an import
ant part in it. • All the greatness on
earth has lain in the hollow of 'a
hand. The books, the music, the pic
tures, the wonders of architecture,
the intracacies of mectianism, the
mysteries, of science, and the govern
ment of countries, with all their.godt
like beauties of color, Sound, sym
may, usefulness, progression, and
wisdom have lain within a' human
band. The highest aspirations and
realizations of the brain are broUght
to light through the hand, and the
tenderest love and charity of - the
heart make the hand their dispense
tor. They can be tender ministers
of comfort and peace, and yet 'as
cruel and full of venom as the bite,
of an asp. And with all their poWer,
with their charities, their cruelties,
their tender touches,' their spankings,
their. 'mischiefs, they , are folded at
last, and those who speak of us, tell
of the closing of eyes and the folding
of hands i as the partof oar .going
away. • r
SUDDEN WARMING.
! I
A very ds,ngero, yet a very com
mon winter practice, is that of sud
denly warming when ver-mold. We
frequently read in the papers of little
children i. falling down dead 'on- sud
denly going to the heated stove after ,
a' long, c'old walk. Others are often
injured seriously who have no guess
at the true cause of the difficulty.
Every intelligent person knows that
a'frozen limb will become dead flesh
if suddenly warmed. The tempera
ture must be raised-I , aq slowly. The
limb must be put into cold instead of
Warm water; or ribbed with snow.
- When limbs are hell frozen, they can=
not resist the injurious effect of Bud
•den warming. Convulsions in chit
dren occasionally occur ; many more
are made suddenly faint and sick
without knowing tt.e cause; the eye
sight is often particularly affected,
and people call it' " snow blind
ness." AU skin difficulties are great
ly by ; sudden warming,
and sometimes very painful ow* are
induced. , It is generally thought
that chilblains are caused by the se
vere cold, but theirue cause is sud
den warming after they have been
very cold. It seems', as if this ..dis
tressing malady were largely on the
crease—e' v,en very. little children
atiffer from it.* Too great care can
not be taken in this matter of warm
ing cold feet slowly,. and by friction
rather than putting them near the
fire. • • .
