On giMod thrones ami on chairs of state.
Then- arc kinstliat tromhling it ;
Ani to many a lofty seat men clinin
Throiif.-li favor snj power ami wit ;
l!ut the chair in tae chimney corner
Is my scat of power and pride ;
Wh.-n I sit there the purple I wear
I'm king at my own fireside.
The judfie sits high on his lofty bench.
And sorrow beside him waits;
He solemnly says the words of -death :
lie fastens the prifcoii gates.
I'.ut I sit in th chimney corner.
In my chairso soft and wide,
And pass with a kiss the household faults
I'm judge :d my own fiieside.
In the halls of trade and rommernf,
There are seats for the shrewd and hold
That can manage a hank or railroad.
And turn what they touch to irold.
1 in president in my own affairs,
Vice-president is my wife
No" board" or "committee" manure me,
And I'm chairman, too, tor life.
There are seats in the halis of leal nin,
And wisdom sits often there,
lint even with learned professors
Their honor I seem to share ;
Tor my boys have many a .iicstion,
Thai " father' can best decide.
And I feel that I am "principal "
To the class at my own fireside.
So, my chair in the corner Is better
Than the throne of king or lord.
Than the seat of judge or profesor.
Than the "chair" at any " board ,"
The hearthstone's its solid foundation,
"l is girded all round by love.
Its portion is peace and contentment.
And the blessings of Heaven above.
THK l-IKST r.Ai.u
"I'.ut I want to rro.eo much,"' said
Zadie. ''Oli, Mrs. MuprR", please,
iile.i?e, don't tell grandma.1'
The old country houe had lieeti
hut and locked up for the. niht.
Overhead the stars burned in points
of frozen lirht, and the hard enow
iileamed faintly underneath, while
every breeze that stirred the woods
set a, whole chime of tiny icicles to
jhmling.
Zadie Wilde had had the lenst pos
sible cough that afternoon, and old
Mrs. Wilde had pent the housekeep
er up with a steaming hot potion of
vinegar, molasses, lemon-juice and
Irish moss, at ten o'clock that nudit.
"Girls never take any care ol
their health," said Mrs. Wilde.
"And Zaidee is in my charge while
her parents are in "Havana. Be
sure, Mrs. Muggs, that she drinks the
whole tumblerful and gets right into
bed. And Mugg?,ryou had better
take away her candle. There's al
wttys danger of eeUinir fire to the
bedroom curtains, yot. know."
"Bless me, ma'am," said Mnpgs,
"Miss Zaidee is seventeen. Vou
can't takeaway her bed candle, like
if she was a little irl.'"
"Well, tell her to be very careful,"
said Mr. Wilde, laying her head
down among the pillows with a sigh.
M;igg trudged up stairs, and
opened the door very softly. Miss
Ziidee might be asleep for anything
she knew, and
But Zaidee was not asleep. On
the contrary, the room was bright
with wax candles and there, before
the cheval-glass, stoed the little dam
sel, dresst'd in white, with a soft Ori
ental sash, a cluster of white roses
in her belt, and the prettiest little
white fatin boots that ever, "like lit
tie mice, peeped in and out."'
Zaidee Wild was goin?; to the
Military Hull. Leave or leave, as
she explained to Musrgs, fhe was go
ing with Colonel Battersby and his
daughters.
"But, Miss,'' pleaded Mrs. Muggs,
"votir grandma aid you wasn't to !
don't like them Miss Battersbvs,
anyhow.''
"Ye?, I know,"' coaxed Zaidee, "but
grandma has forgotten how he felt
when she wag seventeen. And Col
onel Battersby it to be at the Great
Gate at half past ten precisely and
I never was at n ball in all my life
before. Dear Mrs. Muggs, you will
keep my secret, won't you?"
"Well, I never," said Mr. Muggs.
But there was a soft spot down in
her heart, after all, and she finally
consented, after many tears ami en
treaties on the part of Zaidee, to con
done her of!enes.
"I s'pose it is dull here," she reas
oned within herself. "And Miss Zai
dee and after ail girls will be girls.
Of course my mistress will be very
angry if she knew it but we must
take care she don't know it."
So M uges herself helped to bun
dle Zaidee up in the old gray sliwl,
which hid all her glories as a brass
extinguisher hides the light of a can
dle, und escorted her to the Batters
by carriage, which waited at a dis
creet distance from the house.
"You're sure you've got the key to
let yourself in, Miss ?" said she, the
la -t thing.
"Oh, yes, it's all safe in my dress
pocket."
Muggs trudged back through the
snow, thinking of the long gone by
days when she was seventeen and
Zaidee Wilde went to the ball.
Oh, the lights, the roses, the be
wildering beauty of the tcene. To
accustomed ball-goers, it was the
game tedious story, over and over
again, the tame "Blue Danube" and
"Thousand and One Nights," the
same tuneless clarionets and squeak
ing violins, the same sickly gas
lights, the fame decorative plants
from tbe nearest florists, the same
artificial entiles and worn faces be
decked anew in rouge and veloute
and pearl powders. But to Zaidee
it was like the "Arabian Knights,"
suddenly galvanized into life, a
uream ef beauty and enchantment.
Of course she knew nobody theie
but the Battersbvs, her grandmother
had kept her shut up a deal too close
lor that but partners came eagerly
to beg for introductions, and old Col.
Battersby found himself a more pop
ular character than he had been for
years, in virtue of the pretty young
debutante, who came in the train of
his old maid daughters.
"By Jove," said the old coloneL
"I didn't know that Zaidee was so
pretty, before."
Nor had Zaidee known it herself.
She could scarcely recognize her own
face as they passed in front of a full
length mirror, so transformed was it
in the light of girlish happiness and

exultation. She looked like some
white robed princess with the fleecy
white draperies floating around her
like a cloud, the rose.8 in her belt,
and the necklace of pearls encircling
her white swan-like throat.
Grandma Wilde's pearls! Fr, in
her infatuation, Zaidee had taken
them from their case, and decked
her neck and arms with their limpid
sparkle and hung their dead white
pennants in her ears, after she had
reached the crowded dressing room
nt the hall. For it wouldn't do to
J let even Muggs into this last piece of
' audacity.
j "What would grandma say if she
' knew it?" Zaidee asked herself, with
' varying color, and pulses that beat a
' degree faster at the idea.
! It was almost davbreak before
they reached home, and Zaidee let
herself into the little ivy-drape
door in the round tower with her
key, and crept shivering up the
winding stairs to her own room.
"I hope the fire hasn't gone out,"
she said to herself, "rbr my feet are
as cold as stones, and I do believe
my bones are frozen stiff."
To her infinite delight the room
was all resplendent with fire-light
when she came into it,-like Cinder
ella returning from the Prince's ball
and there sat Muggs rocking her
self back and forth before the lire.
"Oli, Miss Zaidee! oh, Miss Zai
dee! "she cried. "I thought you
never would come home. You're to
go to Mrs. Wilde at once. She's
waiting fr you."
Zaidee stood still in a sort of a
trance of horror.
"Muggs, you don't mean that
that she knows?'' she faltered.
"Oh, bless you, no, my dear!"
said Muggs, tugging away at the
white gown. "Get those things off
as quick as ever you can. Missis
has sent for you. Hurry on your
pink merino dressing-gown. We've
had a terrible trouble since you
went away !"
Zaidee looked around her with a
bewildered air.
"The house certainly is not burn
ed down," said tdie. "And if grand
ma wants me to come to her, she cer
tainly can't lie living nor dead."
"It ain't that," croaked Muggs.
"It's burglars! YVve been rob
bed !"
"Oh. Muggs," cried Zaidee, conscience-stricken
"not through the
ivy-door that 1 left unbolted. Be
cause it was locked."
"No, Miss, no," said Mrs. 'Muggs.
"Thank Providence there was no one
near that door! It's a ileal tao close
to the stables where Thomas sleeps
with a revolver. It was the laundry
window the' cuiie through, Miss,
wfre a pane of glas was cut out,
just as neat as it it was a sheet of pa
per and scissors, and the bolt araw
ed, and every bit of the old crested
silver taken, and Missis' diamonds,
and I don't know what all ! And
we never kuevr nothing till Betsy
came down with the toothache to
get her peppermint bottle oil' the
kitchen dresser, and found things
lying around, and the wind blowing
through the open window enough to
take the house oil of us founda

Old Mrs. Wilde sat up in bed,
lo. iking haggard and hollow-eyed in
her black silk hood and gorgeous
cashmere shawl.
"Oh, Ziidee. Zaidee, how could
you ever sleep through all this dread
ful contusion," she cried. "Oh, I'm
so thankful we weren't all murdered
in our beds."
"Grandma,"' said Zaidee, gently,
"don't be troubled, wt are all alive
and well. Let the silver go, and the
other things."
"Oil. but that is not all." sighed
Mrs. Wilde. ' I haven't treated you
well. Ziidee. I haven't done as I
oiioht. The diamonds were not
large, and the silver was old-fashioned
I d;n't care so much for
those. But tlit! pearls the old fam
ily pe iris, Z lidee, that were worth a
thousand dollars! By j'our grand
father's will they were to have been
yours on your 17th birthday, but
1 kept them back, thinking you
would want to wear.them every day,
and lose them, perhaps, because you
were so young. And the' are taken
too ! The empty case lay on the bu
reau, with the rest of the boxes ! Oh,
Zaidee, can you ever, ever forgive
me?"
Zaidee hesitated a moment, and
turned very pink, and then, uncer
tain whether to laugh or to cry, she
drew the pearls from her bosom, ex
claiming: "Oh, grandma, dear grandma, it is
for you to forgive me. Hre are the
pearls all safe! I borrowed them out
of the case to to wear. 1 went to
the military ball to-night with Col
onel Battersby and Phoebe and Al
icia, and I wanted something to Dut
around my neck, aud I was very
wicked and took the pearls."
And here Zaidee stopped short,
appalled at the remarkable facial
contractions of Muggs. who, in the
background, was gesticulating to her
not to betray her (Muggs") share in
the escapade.
But Mrs. Wilde uttered an excla
mation of intense relief.
"My darling Zaidee," she cried,
"I never was so glad in my life ! Of
course it was very wrong for yu to
do such a thing, but so long as the
pearls are safe, I can't be angry at
anything else. Kiss me, Zaidee!
The dear preciots pearls that I wore
on my wedding day ! I never
thought to have looked npon thena
again. And you must keep them
now, sweet and perhaps I've been
a little over particular about balls
and such things, with you. You are
seventeen years old, and it is time
that you saw something of the world.
You "shall be introduced in ssciety,
Zaidee, and by better sponsors than
Colonel Battersby and his dowdy
daughters! But never steal awayt
from me, like a school-girl, again !''
"Dear, dear grandma !" was all
that Zaidee could say, for the pearls
were safe, and grandma Wilde had
forgiven her.
"And I'm very glad, Miss Zaidee,
that you didn't mention my name."
said Muggs, when she wa3 taking
Zaidee back to her room, "for after

Tar Smoke for lliph'hri ia.
Ruth Lockweod, th 9-year-old
cbild of Thomas Lock wood, a com
positor in the Times cilice, became
violently ill with diphtheria on
Tuesday night. She was so weak
that it was deemed dangerous to try
tracheotomy, or cutting op the
windpipe. On Thursday Dr. Nichols,
who was attending her, received a
copy of the Itiris Fvjaro, which con
tained a report made to the French
Academy f Medicine bv Dr. Deltb.il.
Dr. Delthil said that the. vapors of
liquid tar ann turpentine would dis
solve the fibrinous exudations which
choke up the throat in croup and
diphtheria.
Dr. Delthil's process wis describ

pentine and liquid tar into a tiu pan
or cup and sets fir to the mixture.
A dense resinous mokt arise,
which obscures the air of the room.
"The patient," Dr. Delthil says,

with pleasure. The fibrinous mem

The other night, when one of our
prominent society young men called
to see his girl, he found her mother
sitting quietly before the fire. After
bidding him " good evening '" she
looked him full in the face, and
said :
" Do you really love my daughter
Emma?''
" Well ah my dear madam,"
stammered theyouth, turning red in
the face, " I have only been coming
to see your daughter two months,
and I really think you are a little
premature in propounding such a
question."
"That's where we differ, young
man. n tne seeu oi your suwius
now will brinjj forth a matrimonial
Harvest I'm willing to put up with
you awhile longer, but if you are
coming here three nights out of a
week just to pass away the time,
you had better cease coming at
once."
" Yes. Well, really madam," put
in the youth, his voice all in a quiv
er," since you press me so closely
for an answer I must admit that I
am very fond of Emma, and that I
live for her alone "
"Yes," broke in the anxious
mamma; "that's the trouble with
you young men ; you waste too

nright's Disease.
Referring to what appeared on this
subject in the Scientific America
recently, Dr. De Borra, of Crystal
Springs, N. , writes that, after
years of practical test of the milk
diet for Bright's disease, he has a
long list of cases in which he has
made perfect cures. Great care is
taken to get absolutely pure skim
med milk, from healthy and well
fed cows, and no other food of any
kind is given attsr the patient can
bear five pints of milk a day. Up
to this point, and until the stomach
is able to take care of so much, is
found to be the most trying period
in this treatment, but no other
medicine is given, and hand and
hair-glove rubbing is daily adminis
tered. Another correspondent takes ex
ception to the claim made that no
drug of any therapeutic value in
disease has yet been discovered. In
support of his assertion he sends us
a receipt which he claims has effect
ed a cure in Bright' disease, as well
as in drops-, in every case in which
it has been- tried during the last fif
teen years. He recommends the
drinking of an infusion of the dry
pods of the common white soup bean
or corn bean. When the latter can
not be readily obtained the pods of
the "snap short bean will answer,
and even the Lima bean, though the
latter is of inferior strength. The
recipe is as follows: 'Take a double
handful of tho pods to three quarts
of water; boil slowly for three hours
until it is reduced to three pints.
Use no drink of any kind but this,
the patient drinking as much as he
conveniently can; it may be taken
either hot or cold." Scientific Amer

Anueeiloles About General Scott.
An old army friend of mine who
remembers General Winfield Scott
as' a tall, tine-lookit.g old man, with
white hair,, a strict martinet, with a
good head and a bi heart, gives nie
a story or two about him. Iu his
later years General Scott was iras
cible. A great many people knew
that, but few knew that he was al
ways sorry for a hasty word. While
he was at the head of the army with
his ollice on Seventh street just op
posite the War department, he was
coming out one day to enter his car
riage, cane in hand. A volunteer
orderly, who knew nothing of Scott's
views of military propriety, ap
proached him with u letter from a
War Department Bureau, which he
had been directed to deliver Gen.
Scott at once. The orderly, recking
nothing of Adjutants General or
Chifs of Staff, interpreted his order
iiteally, and nastily giving a care-
less salute began : 'OH, General, , his 0feTia.A me the place gave me'a

Ueneral ccotts carriage Had not
touts thirty rods before it stopped
and turned about. The driver, raid
ing his voice, summoned the offen
ding orderly to the door. Trem
bling in every limb, cap in hand, he
approached. General Scott asked
his name and regiment. He gave
them. "Well, sir,'" said the General
"report to your colonel that you were
guiltv of grcss disres"pect to Gen
eral Scott as an officer, and that
General Scott was guilty of gross
disrespect to you as a man. Gener
al Scott begs your varden. Go to
your duty, sir."
In lStiO a lady passing the season
here was very anxious to get General
Scott's autograph. He was ytry
busy, and she found her task very
difficult. One day the happy
thought struck her that her pretty
little ten-year-old daughter might
be able in this case to do what she
herself con'-l not. So she sent the
charming luile girl to the General's
office with the autograph album.
The order told her that she could not
see the busy General. She would
not be denied. She would wait, sho
said. At the end of halt an hour
the orderly took her humble re
quest to the adjutant. The latter
admitted her, but told her that sh
could not see the General. She said
she must. At last the adjutant
showed her to the door leading to
General Scott's office, and told her
she could go in if she dared. Tak
iug him at his word, she marched
right in. This is her description of
the call given at the time: "I was
afraid at first when he looked up;
but as soon as he saw it was only me
he said right pleasantly : Well,
little girl, what do you want? and
I told him my nia wanted him to
write his name in her book ; and he
looked shaip at me and then smiled
a little bit, and shook hands with
me and asked me who my ma was,
and I told him my pa was in the
army, anil ma was all alone with me
and then he just kissed my cheek
and wrote in ma's book and said
'good-morning' to me and I
came
out, and nobody didn't hurt me at
all." This is what he wrote :
"Treason is the greatest crime.

The hands knew it, too, and
so their nerves were never
shocked by a disappointment.
We ran that way for a while,
getting more deeply in debt all
the time. At last, one morning, I
entered the office and found Jerry
looking rather solemn.
"Jerry says I, "vou want a part

joined. "A business man," said I.
"One with executive ability," gaid
he.
"A financier," I observe".
"A man who can take hold of the
thing and turn it into money," he
concluded.
"Then I've got the man you want,"
I said, and introduced Frank Hitch

was the very man he had been
thinking of, so we installed him at

had turned it entirely into money.
When we wound up the concern
there was nothing left but two pas
ses one to Cincinnati and one to
Burlington. We divided them, and
went in different directions.
I got to Burlington Iteling pretty
bad. I was about two hundred
thousand miles in debt, having
managed to owe everybody I knew.
I would have owed the strangers,
too, only I had no way of making
their acquaintance. One day I re
marked to Mrs. Burdette that I be
lieve I'd go over and see if I couldn't
get a job on the 1 buckeye. I post
poned it for a while, and one day
the business manager came over to
offer me a place. I could have hug
ged the man, but I didn't want to be
demonstrative, so I held back rath
er coyly. He asked me if I had
anything in view, and I told him
I had. It was the truth, as I had
an idea of going out to the poor
house, if 1 could get to ride on the
cars ; I was too proud to walk.
Well, he urged me, and I finally
agreed to take the loatter into con-'

o'clock the next afternoon, and I
bid him a chilly good day. For fear
I'd miss the train, I was down there

The proper time to arise is when
sleep properly so-called, ends. Do
zing is not admissible from any
reasonable or health point of view.
The brain falls into the state we call
sleep, and the other organs of the
body follow it. True sleep is the
aggregate of sleeps. In other words,
sleep, which must be a natural func
tion i.e., physiological instead of by
disease or drugs is a state which
consists in the sleeping or rest of all
the several parts of the organism.
Sometimes one and at other times
another part of the body as a whole
may be the least fatigued and so the
first to awake, or the most exhausted
and therefore the most "difficult to
arouse. The secret of a good sleep
is the physiological conditions of
rest being established to so work
and weary tin several parts of the
organism as to give them a propor
tionally equal need of rest at the
same moment. The cerebrum or
mind organ, the sense organs, the
muscular system, and the viscera
should be all ready to sleep together,
and, so far is may be possible, they
should be equally tired. To wake
early and feel ready to rise, this fair
and equal start of the sleepers should
be secured ; and the wise selfman-
ager should not allow a drowsy feel
ing of the conscious or weary
j senses, or an exhausted muscular
1 system, to beguile him into the lolly

his consciousness has been aroued.
