AWAKE. . The inn gets np lu the mornlnf And Ufa bi tatcly hed ; Orn jroureye, my sleepy M. The inn is out of bed ! The moon is reiy timid. She dmre not meet the snn, With a beigh ho t the lUn nut go. And hide themselves one by one. The sun gets np in the morning. The world is all alight ; Every tree is foil of glee, Every blossom bright ; Every bird is singing A welcome to bis King, With s "Well done, beautiful sun ! You glorify everything." The sun gets up in the morning, And so must children, too ; How dare you keep so fast asleep. The sun is calling you ! 'Mid all the birds and blossoms Your merry voices raise With a hurrah ! now glad we are We hare got a snn to praise ! A FIERY STEED. For once Mar cave promise of be ing a May worthy of the many beau tiful songs which hare been sung in her praise. She came dancing along after her sister April who had just left in a shower of tears with a eruile upon her lips and a wondrous rainbow halo on her head. The young maples began to blush in happy conciousness of her ap proach, and the delicate pink and the white blossoms on the orchard trees opened their dainty leares and ehyly flung a welcoming fragrance on the soft, clear air. All -through the fields and mead ows, the vales and woodlands, and over the hills ran the violets and trailing arbutus and May-buds and daisies and their sister tiowers, tel ling glad tidings of sunny days and moonlit nights and lovely butterflies and sparkling raindrops and busy humming bees, and birds, swinging on slender green boughs, sang in sweet twittering notes to each other : Xeigbbor, soon we shall soe the roses. Along a pleasant, winding, lonely country road, with splended great apple and pear trees standing on cither side, and the spring flowers dotting the green carpet so thickly that the green is almost hidden, comes slowly on this poet's May day, a diminutive, old, odd looking white horse, drawing a small market wagon filled with household furni ture, accompanied by an enormous shaggy Newfoundland dog, and as pretty a country maid as ever milk ed a cow, or made a pot of golden butter. The broad-brimmed straw hat she wears shaded a low brow to which clings babyish ringlets of hair the color of glossy, satin-smooth butter cups, a pair of innocently roguish eyes, checks of brown with an under lying tinge of rose, a charming red lipped mouth, and a firm, round chin. Across the brow, however, at this moment fits the shadow of a frown, and a look of comic perplexity comes into the sweet young face. The old looking horse has stopped in the middle of the road and remains per fectly motionless, staring straight before lam, save when he bends his head to take a nibble of the flower- thick grass, as though suddenly ob livious 01 everything under the sun except the tranquility of the June like Mav afternoot. "Ob, Charley ! Charley ! go on do ! that's a dear !" coaxes the girl coming to his side and gently pat ting his head with her little brown ungloved hand ; but Charley 'merely whisks a too familiar fly away with his forlorn old tail and makes no further sign. ''Charier, good horse, Charley oh! why didn't I bring some carrots with me? Charley, you bad, bad fellow, if you dn"t go on, I'il whip you sure as you stand there. Come, e a darling." And thus she alter nately begs and threatens, Lion as sisting in dog language, with an occasional dash at the heels of his obstinate enquine triend, but Char ley refuses to be a "darlin," plants his feet more firmly and never stirs ; and at last, with an air of resigna tion, she goes back to the path, seats herself on a rude seat formed by na ture of the gnarled roots of a mis hapen old tree, and waits patiently for at least ten minutes. At the end of this time Charley looks about witli a just waked-up expression in his eyes, as if to say, "Dear ! Dear! I quite forgot there was work to be done," and starts off with a quick step that gradually becomes slower and slower. With a sigh of relief the young girl arises and follows Lion bound-1 ing back from the wood, where he has been making hasty explorations, having it in his mind that his mis tress is not to be left without his protection for more than two min utes at a time, takes his place at her side and the perplexed look fades away into a smile that brings to light two rows of pearl-white teeth. But alas ! the smile is premature. In another ten minutes azain over come by the beauty and peacefulness ot tne day, Charlie .tails into a reverie. stops once more, and once more re fuses most decidedly to "go on." And in this manner does that dreadful horse behave for an hour, mating snort progress and long pauses, until coming to the conclu sion that there had been quite enough of this sort of thing, he de liberately drags the wagon to the aide of the road, takes up his station beneath a wide-spreading oak and proceeds to munch the grass at his ieet, Kith a look in his eyes that say as plain as words : t roni this epot move me if you can." Logins the girl, loudly and indig nantly following him with her small hands clasped beseechingly. "Oh, you wicked, Charley I" "Did you call me ?" asks a mas cular voice, to her great astonish ment; as with alight start she turns in the direction of the voice she sees a young man walking rap idly towards her the sound of his approaching footsteps hnving been completely lost in the inquiring bow wows of her canine guardian. "Did you call me?" he repeats. uSo, sir," she replies, blushing prettily, and looking at him with frank, child-like eyes. "I was speak ing to the horse. Be still Lion." "Beg your pardon. I thought for am instant you were speaking to me. It seems that I have the honor of being a namesake of your fiery steed. But you are in trouble. What is the matter ? Can I help ycu in any way?" "There is nothing very serious the matter," she says with a smile. "We are moving to-day, and father went on ahead a long time ago, having some business'to settle with our new landlord, and he must be at this very moment waiting for me at the new house, and wondering what in the werld has become of me. You see, we have no boys in our family, and the other girls are younger than jnyself, and ' - w-th thought this being a very quiet road that iaon ana i coma jook after Charlie and the furniture, but Charlie, who generally behaves pret ty well, has been awfully contrary, and has stopped every few minutes, and the consequence is that we have already been two Hours on me jour ney that should have taken us but one, and there's just as longadis- tance to go yet ; ana witn cnariey oh, you wicked horse! standing under that tree, Idon'tjknow how we arc ever to get to Orasstown. "It's almost as bad a plight as the old woman was witfc her pig, when he wouldn't go under the stile, and she was afraid she wouldn't get home that night," laughs the young man a nice loosing tellow be is, with centleman stamped on every feature of his handsome face. "But suppose I cut you a switch ? Tertians that, tsed with discretion, might have some influence on the fiery sreed." "Oh, no, that would never do!" she says, shaking her head emphat- icjil v. "Charier was never wnip- ivdinhis life. He'd be so scared at the verv sight of a switch that I hphpve he'd run awev. "Wouldn't that be a desirable thins under the circumstances?" asks the young man, with a broad smile ; the idea of the old horse, whose principal desire appeared to be not to move at all, running away, striking him as inexpressibly comic, and thinking "Bless her kind little heart !" he continues : "Well, since you refuse the switch, I will try how a command in a masculine voice will affect him ;" and he com manded "G'lone. Charley !" Charley started, turned his head toward the speaker, recognizing a master, backed away from the oat and went off on a auick walk. "Well, the idea!" exclaimed his young mistress. "And now with your permission, I'll walk with you to the end of your journey, lor sure 11 i leave jou Charlev will note mv aosence im- mediatelv. and sUi jnder the first tree " "Oh. no indeed ! you must not," savs the pretty country maid. "You were going in an entirely different direction. I could not think of tak- inir vou so far out of your way Many thanks for your kind offer, but indeed, sir, I couldn't Charley will behave well now. Won't you Charlev ?' "Good heavens ! I never knew my name was so musical before," thinks the voune man. and then explains : I was going in an entirely different direction because I missed my train at the last station, and, if I had waitpd would have two hours for another ; but being rather impatient bv nature and tempted by the fine day, I set out to walk, my destina tion being the next village. And now if 1 return with you I shall have a much pleasanter walk, catch the next train, and lose no time after all. Lion approves of my plan. Don't you Lion ?" And Lion, usual ly very suspicious ot strangers, comes and lays his startlingly cold nose in his new friend's hand. And 60 the two young people walk along 6ide by side, crushing the pretty flowers under their feet as they go, but Charley, looking back every now and then outof the corner of his right eye to see if the mascu line voice is atill there, never falters, but keeps steadily on his winding way. After a few moment's silence the" innocent little maid raises her blue eyes they have been hidden by the long lashes and says, in a shy voice : "You said vou were going to Daisvville. I have lived there all my life." "Not a very long time," says the young man with a smile. "Seventeen years. I was born, and my three sisters were born in the same little farm house we are leaving now." And a tear trembles on the long lashes and rolls down her round rosy check. The young man looks at the tear with pitying wonder. "And were you very happy there ?', he asks. "So happy," replies the girl, "that we fear we will never be half as hap py anywhere else. And" a sudden light breaking over her face "I be lieve that is what ails Charley. He knows it isn't right that we should be going to a strange place, and does his best, poor fellow, to pre vent our going. "Undoubtedly," gravely asserts her companion. "But why. if you will permit me to ask are you bid ding fairwell to Daisy ville? G'long, Charley, as Charlev evinces a de sire to listen to the conversation "Father didn't own the place. He had it on a long lease, which ran out the verv week d month aeo) our old landlady died, and her heir a nephew and his mother ar coming to take possession of the estate, and they wantour farm house for their gardener. When Mrs Marks was alive her gardener had rooms over the stable, and very comfortable rooms they were, too, and the kitchen garden was just back of the big house. But I sup- ose the new jeople are more sty Lsh than the old ones, want their kitchen garden further away than Mrs. Mark's was, and so they take from us bur home, and we are ob liged to move to Grasstown." And are your father and mother as much attached to Daisvville as you and your sisters are?" he asks. "Even more attached to it" she answers, "if that be possible. It almost breats my Heart to see mother's sad face. But I must try to make the new home as bright for them as 1 can that is, if I ever get there. Ob, dear! how very unfortu nate that Charley should have taken it into his head to be so naughty this day of all others !" "On the contrary, I think, Mitt Grey" it has transpired that her name is Bessie Grey "that is the best thing that could have happen ed." Her blue eyes and red mouth open m wonder. "Because" answering tha look "if Charley had behaved well io stead of badly you would have been at Grass town long before this time, and I should not have had the pleas ure of meeting you. And now 1 am about proposinz something which will seem extremely absurd to you, although the wisest thing that could be done under the circumstances. Suppose we turn Charley's head in the direction of bis old home and see what speed he will make then ?" "But," looking at him half fright ened, as Lion bounds forward with a loud cheerful bark to meet a stal wart old man who comes suddenly around the corner, bis hat in one hand and a red silk handkrhu?f in the other, and who shouts the moment he catches sight of her, "Why, girl, where have you been? What on earth's the matter Y Bessie leaves unfinished the "But" began speech and runs laughing to him, and, taking the hat from his hand, fans him energetically while she explains : "Charier was the mat ter, father. You cant think how aggravating he's been. He wouldn t go until this gentleman witn an other pretty blush "was kind cnough.to make him go." The old man looked keenly at theyeung one. "And pray where did vou come irom, ana wno may you,be ?" he asked sharply. "I will tell you where I come from, and how 1 happened to meet your daughter, at some future time. Mean while you win learn irom t-nia wno I am" handing a card to tne oia farmer, on which was engraved "Charles Marks, Jr." "Oerold landlady s nephew and heir?" "The same, at your service ; and having no desire, in spite of my agent's arrangements to the contra ry, to begin my life at Daisville by turning eo worthy a tenant" (in his heart he added "with so pretty a daughter") "out of the house he has occupied for so many years, I was just proposing to Miss Grey as you made your appearance that Charley should be stopped in his mad career, and once for all be turned toward his old home." "Are vou quite in earnest, dear sir?" Never more so in my life. Whoa, Charley, poor old boy !" and around went horse and wagon, and off start ed the fiery steed so fast that they could hardly follow him, Lion leap ed a yard in the air, in the exuber ance of his delight galloping by his side. "He's all right" said the old man, his face learning with happiness. And won't mother look wonderful ly surprised when she sees him com ing up the lane ? I don't know how to thank you, sir." "Don't thank me, I deserve no thanks," says Charles Marks, hold ing aside a low hanging tree branch that Bessie may pass under. "And the new gardener?" asks Bessie, looking back at him. "Will have rooms over the stable. You know you said they were very comfortable." "But your train ?" persists Bessie, with the first gleam of coquetry that ever sparkled in her blue eyes. "I'd much rather walk," says Mr. Marks Torture of Horse. Among the every dny torments to which the horse is subjected wo will enumerate the following; 1. Ab raded breast. 2- Inflamed back from defective saddle or harness pad. 3. Sore mouth from too tight a gag rein, a severe bit, or bot 4. A sore tail from too tight or illy made crupper. 5. An abrasion under the IhxJj, caused by a too light or badly fitted belly band. 6. Irritation of the eyes from blinders being strapped too close together, or on the other hand, arc allowed to swing around, first striking one eye then the other. 7. Ears chafed by the brow band being placed too high, or by metallic rosettes with a sharp outer rim, the base of the car pressing across this at every niotioi.. 8. The excessive fatigue of all the structure of the neck under the in fluence of wjc bearing rein. The bearing rein, if made taut and kept so for any considerable length of time, is a source of great discom forturc to all horses atid an insuffer able torment to man. A taut rein can be used with entire propriety on horses of fine easy up carriage, especially while in motion, but if the mu.-cles and the bony structure of the neck extend forward hori rontall' from an upright shoulder rather than striking out from a slantin? shoulder, then the most in tense suffering will be inflicted by straining the neck up to an angle entire!' unnatural to the animal especially if this strain be lon:r kept up. To strain a culprit up by the thumbs till only his toes touch the ground is certainly one of the sever est admissible punishments that can be inflicted upon mortal, and the check rein is undoubtedakly in to it in its extreme application. rulm XXIII. This Psalm witnesses how close to the youthful heart the consciousness of God must have been which could thus transform and glorify the little things which were so familiar. We can feci, in a kind of lazy play of sentiment, the fitness of the shep herd's life to suggest thought of God because it is not our life. But it needs both a meditative habit and a devout heart to feel that the trivali ties of our daily tasks speak to us of Him. The heavens touch the earth on the horizon of our vision, but it always seems furtherest to the sky from the spot where we stand. To the Psalmist, however, as in high er ways to his son and Lord, all things around him were full of God, and as the majesties of nature, so the trivalities of man's works shep herds and fishermen were solemn with deep meaninrs and shadows of the heavenly. With such lofty thoughts he fled his youth. Alexan der MarUiren, D. D. Good Advice.

The scheme of Capt Rondaire for letting th waters of the Mediterra nean into the great low-laying basin of the Schatts, and turning the great North African desert into an inland sea, is thought to be inexpedient and impracticable by many scientists and engineers who have been can vassing the matter and surveying the territory. It would take a canal rivaling that of the Suez to attain 4he end in view, while looser, Nep- tha. and other of the most flourish ing cities of theSchatt region, would be submerged by the deluge, aid as a result, it is feared the large date forests of the Djerid would be de stroyed by the production of a change of climate, which would nat urally follow. The wonders or the telejrrapli arc shown in the recent sending of a dispatch of sixty-nine words from Australia to London, a distance of 13,308 miles, the time occupied in its transit being thirty-three min utes. The message was dispatched at 1 p. m.., and reached its destina tion at 3:43 a. m. on the same day, or 9 hours and 1 1 minutes before the hour of its dispatch. The route of the message was over the lines of the Victorian and South Australian Colonies, the cables of the Eastern extensions, Australasia and China Telegraph Company, the lines of the Indian Government the cables of the Eastern Telegraph Company, and the lines of the Lzvptian and French Governments. One who has been experimenting, predicts the day not far distant when seeing by electricity will be looked upon with no more wonder or amazement than the present mode of talking and send off the human voice hundreds of miles, and that instantaneously, by means of the telephone. In fact the former has actually been accomplished, and the inventor asserts that the electric cur rent takes up and . transmits the features of a person, a landscape or writine. as it does modulations of sound, and is confident that when his invention shall have been per fected, it will be an easy matter to take the photograph of a person or landscape though they are hundreds of miles distant We shall await anxiously for further developments of this invention. Scientists have for some ti me been experimenting to determine the vir tue of tho Australian Fever tree, known as the Euedlyptu. in banuh.- ing the unwholesomeness of malari al districts, and the results are said to be very satisfactory. In many fever-plagued regions in Southern Italy, Corsica, and Algeria, where, during certain seasons, the atmos phere has been literally pestilential, the planting of these trees has al most literally banished epidemic fe vers, and large tracts ef low grounds near Algiers, heretofore nnoceupied on account of the unhealthfulncss of the region, have been transform ed through the agency of the fever tree, and rendered wholesome and habitable. Many districts in this country need to profit by the expe rience of our friends across the wa ter, and through the agency of the Eucalyptu, at least diminish in fre quency and intensity the fevers and pestilential diseases of their locali ties. Mr. Bell, the woll-known inventor of the Telephone, announces i.ew and still more remarkable discovery than that which has already made his name so famous. It is that of producing and re-producing ef sounds by the undulations of light Mr. BeU'i new instrument he calls a "photophono, and unlike the tel ephone, which it is well known con veys sound from one vibrating disk to another by means of wires charg ed with electricity, the Bound is con veyed from one vibrating disk to another by a simple ray of light, with.Qjjtany connecting wire what ever.

Hour the Thermometer Stood. ben a Michigan avenue car reached Eighth street yesterday morning it contained seven men, two women and a bo v. Six of the men 6eemed to know each other, and all at once one of them remarked that it was the coldest January day he ever saw. My thermometer showed seven below when I left home," added second. "And mine showed seven," put in a third. "Then it must be colder where am," said a fourth, "for mine mark ed eight." "It's colder than that," said the fifth. Mine marked full nine," and it was sheltered at that. "I expect said," said the sixth, pulling his cap down over his cars, "that I got the full sweep of the wind at mv house. I looked at the thermometer as I came out and saw it marked ten below." There was a deep silence for a moment Then the seventh man got up, removed his overcoat and mittens, and said : "When I left home my thermome ter stood at five below, and it hasn't grown a bit colder since. ow l want to know whether my thermom- ter lies, or if it s me. lou, first man here, how many did yon say yours stood?" Just five, was the humble replr, although he had previously put it at six. "Next?" "About five," said the man who had put it seven." i,ach of the six settled on the same answer, and when the last had spok en the stranjier turned to the bov and said : "Bub, do your folks havj a ther mometer?" "Yes sir. but father does all the lying about it, and he's out of town this week." "If the thermometer shows five degrees below zero I'll put on my coat," said the man as he looked down the aisle. "If it get up to six before we get to City Hall, I shall take it upon me to raise the temper ature of this car above zero."

This U the way it happened. I was playing Indian in the yard. I had a wooden tomahawk and a wooden scalpingkhifeand a bo A' an' arrow. I was dressed up in my father's old coat turned inside out, and had six chicken feathers in my hair. I was playing, I was Green Thunder, and Delaware Chief, and was hunting for pale faces in the yard. It was just after supper, and I was having a real nice time. Mr Tavers came, and he said, "Jimmy, what are you up to now?" So l told him I was Green Tlmndsr, and was on the war path. Said he: "Jim my, I think I saw Mr. Martin on his way here. Do you think you would mind scalping him?" I said I wouldn't scalp him for nothing, for that would lt cruelty ; but if Mr. Tavers was sure that Mr. Martin was the enemy of the red man, then Green Thunder's heart would ache for revenge, and I'd scalp him with pleasure. Mr. Travers said that the gentleman was a notorious enemy of the Indians, and gave me ten cents and said that as soon as Mr. Martin should come, and be sitting comfortably on the piazza, I was to give the war whoop and Fcalp him. Well, in a few minutes he came, nnd lie and Mr. Tavers and Susan sat on the piazza and talked as if they were, all glad to see each other, which was the highest hypocrisy in the world. After a w hile Martin saw ii:e nnd haid : "Hew silly boys pre ! that boy makes believe he u an lft'lian, when he is only a siily nui sance."' Now this made me mad, and I thought I would give him a good scare, just to teach him not to call nie names, I began to steal soft ly up the steps, and to get uround behind him. When I got within tix feet of him I gave a war whoop and jumped at him. I caught hold of Lis scalp lock with one hand and drew my wooden knife around his head with the other. I never got such .a fright in my whole life! My knife was that duil it would not cut butter, but true jis I sit here, Mr. Martin's whole scalp came right off in my hand. I thought I had killed 1 im. and 1 dropped his scalp und said : "For mercy sake ! I didn't mean to do it, and I am awful sorry." But he just took up his scalp, stuffed it in his iocket, clapped his hat on his head, nnd walked off, saying toSusan, "I didn't come here to be insulted by a little wretch who deserves the gallows." Mr. Tawrs and Susan never said a word until he had gone, and then they laughed until the noise brought father out to see what was the mat ter. When he heard what had hap ened, he did not laugh, but looked very angry, and said that Mr. Mar tin was a very worthy man, "My son. you may come up st;iirs with me." If you have tver been a boy, you know what happened up fctairs, and I needn't say any more on a very painful subject. I didn't mind it so much, for I thought my victim would die, end I would be put in jail and hung, but before kIic went to ijod busan came to my door and whispered through the key-hole that it was all right ; that Martin was made that way, so lie could be taken apart easy, and that I hadn't hurt him. I'll have to stay in my room all day to-day, and eat bread and water; and what I say is that if men are made with scalps that may come off any minute, if a boy just touches them, it isn't fair to blair,e tho boy. The Spread of iibthcria. The usually large number of fatal cases of diphtheria, now occurring in New York and Brooklyn, and in many rural distneU as well asm our larger towns, call for especial care and intelligence in preventing the generation and spreading of the ter rible disease. The following state ment of the precautions to be taken where it prevails is being distribut ed by the New York Health De partmen. Everybody should read and attend to iU warnings. Cleanliness in and around the dwelling, and pure air in living and sleeping rooms, an) of the utmost importance where any contigious disease i prevailing, as cleanliness tends lxth to prevent and mitigate it. Everv kind and source of filth around and in the house should be thoroughly removed ; cellars and foul aieas should be cleaned and pisinfected ; drains should be put in perfect repair: dirty walls and ceil ings should be lime-washed, and every occupied room should be thoroughly ventilated. Apartments which have been Gccu.pied hy per sons sick with diphtheria should be cleansed with disinfectant, ceilings hme-waihed, and wood work paint ed: the carpets bed clothing, up holstered furniture, etc., exposed many days to fresh air and the sun r (all articles w hich may be boiled o: subjected to high degrees of heat should be thus disinfected;) such rooms should be exposed to currents of fresh air at least one week before reoecu pation. hen diphtheria is irev.ailm?, no child should be allowed to kiss strange children nor those suffering from sore throat (thedUguslingimsr torn of compelling chilldren tj kiss every visitor is a well-contrived method of propagating other grave diseases than diphtheria'-; nor should it sleep with nor be confined to a room occupied by, or use articles, as toys taken in the mouth, hand kerchiefs, etc., belonging to children having sore throat, croup, or catarrh. If the weather is cold, the child should be warmly clad with flan nels. When diphtheria is in the house or in the family, - the well people should be scrupulously kept apart Irom the sick in dry well aired rooms, and every possible sourcp of infection through the air, bv person al contact with the sick, and by ar ticles used ahout them or in their rooms, should be rigidly guarded. Every attack of sore throat, cough. and catarrh should be atS or:C3 at tend to ; the feeble should have in vigaratirg food and treatment. Theslok should be rigidly iuuhu ted in well-aired (the air being en tirely changed at least hourly), and sunlighted rooms, the outflow of air being, ns far as possible through the external windows by depresssing the upper and elevating the lower sash, .qr a chimney heated by a fire in an open ttre plawej all discharges from the mouth and nose should be re. ceived into vessels containing disln. fectanfs. as solutions of carbolic acid or sulphate of zinc j or upon cloths, which are immediately burned, or if not burned, thoroughly boiled or placed uihW a disinfecting fluid.
