BELSIIAZZA.Il.
The midnight hour was drawing on
Hushed into rest lay Babylon
All save the royal palace 'where
Was the din of revel, aud torches' llare. 1
There high within his royal hall
Belshazzar the King held festival.
His nobles around him in splendor shine
And drain down goblets of sparkling wine.
The nobles shout, and live goblets ring:
Twas sweet to the heart of that siff-necked
King. .
The'cbeeksof the King, they Hushed with fire,
And still as he drank his conceit grew higher;
And. maddened with nrWe. his lina let fall
Wild words, that blaspheme the. great Lord of
AH.
More vaunting he grew, and bis blasphemous
sneers
Were hailed by his lordly rout with cheers.
Proudly the King has a mandate passed;
Away hie the slaves; and come back full fast.
STanv gold vessels they bring with them,
The spoils of God's house in Jerusalem.
With impious hand the King caught up,i
Filled to the brim a sacred cup;
And down to the bottom he drained it dry,
And aloud, with his mouth afoam, did cry.
Jehovah ! I scoffat thy greatness gone !
I am the King oPBabylon !'
The terrible words were ringing still,
When tle King at his heart felt a secret chill. .
The laughter ceased, the lords held their breath
And all through the hall it was still as death.
And see, see there! on the white wall, see.
Comes forth what seems a man's hand to be!
And if wrote, and it wrote in letters of flame.
On the whito wall then vanished the way it
came.
The King sat staring, he could not speak,
His knees knocked together, death-pale was'
cheek.
hi
With cold fear creeping his lords sat around.
They sat dumb-stricken, with never a sound.
The Magians came, but not one of them all
Could interpret the writing upon the wall.
That self-same night his soul God sain I
Was-JJelshazzar the King by his nobles slain.
Statesmen at Play.
"Make Proctor Knott tell that anecdote
about the dog," suggests the sharp,
quick voice of Senator Beck, and in an
instant the crowd gather about the
prince of Kentucky story-tellers. No
told unless he has heard Proctor Knott
tell it. A better comic actor could hard
ly be found. His voice changes, his eyes
change, his whole expression changes to
suit the varying character of his story.
Backed up against an old oak he kept
the crowd in one continual roar for nearly
two hours. His supply never run short.
Sometimes at the climax of one of his
stories the brawney meu around him
would roll over on the gronud in their
paroxysms of laughter. Knott would
pull his hat a little over his left eye.give
a few short, amused chuckles, and com
mence on another.
"Why didn't you tell about that Wolfe
. nmintv unppch of vours the other dav?"
asked Governor Luke Blackburn.
"Well, it -was something like this," paid
Mr. Knott, not at all unwilling. "You
know Joe and I were to speak one night
at Hazel Kirke, and the little hall was
packed. They were hanging in the win
dows, and about one-third of them were
outside. Every woman who had a baby
brought one, and every woman who did.
not have one must have borrowed one,
for they all had 'em. Well, Joe led off
in one of his speeches. You all know
. what kind of a speech Joe Blackburn can
make. He did al! the fine business, all
the ice cream and cake, and left me at
the wrong time to come in with bacon
and cabbage. I didn't know what to
say to them, so I told them to think of me
as tue deacons in the Jjeadville clinrcn
thought of the' organist when they
pasted over, his head: "Gentlemen,
when shooting, will please not aim at the
organist.
"Yes." said Blackburn, when the
laugh had subsided a little, "and he
kept telling them story after story and
made me lan orb. so much I felt ashamed
of myself. And the worst nart about it
was that he kept telling them that he
had siren ud telling anecdotes, and
ended his sDeech by saying that the part
ing injunction of his wife was: 'Proctor,
for heaven's sake don't tell any more of
these anecdotos.'"
The savory smell that was wafted from
the little hollow where the cauldron
boiled and bubbled at the foot of the old
tree grew stronger and stronger as the
sun approached nearer the meridian.
Presently there was a bustle a little be
low where the cooking was going on, a
long table was fixed up, covered with a
dazzling white table cloth, and in a very
short space of time was groaning under
- on it.- Birds of all sizes and cooked in
all styles; oysters raw, ana oysters tried;
and oysters stewed; tender lamb and deli
cate beef; great rounds of bread every
thing was on the big style which is so
essentially Kentuckian. Colonel John
Barbour's eyes fairly shone as he saw so
many birds and thought of how in days
gone by he had trod hill and daie, gun
on shoulder, hunting them. There was
a keen appetite in the breezy air, an in
viting look in the beads of snugly cooked
brown birds, in the game, in the bread,
in the cleanliness, and, above all, in the
jolly, hearty crowd. But all things must
have an end, and there did at last come a
time when those around the board could
eat no more.'
As thty were lounging around on the
grass, Colonel Stoddard Johnston slipped
off by himself, bored a small hole in a
very long nail on his little, finger, and
taking a long, thin straw, ran it up the
side of his hand, and letting one end re
main concealed in his coat sleeve, pushed
the other through the hole in his nail so'
as to just show the straw on the inside.
It looked for all the world like he had a
splinter run in Under his finger-nail.
He came up toward Zach Smith, of Lex
ington, wringing his hands and appear
ing to be in great suffering. Smith, who
1 - 1. : . 11 A T f ,11 ,
i a muu-ueuneu ieuow, ran up to oner
assistance. Colonel Johnston, after a
great deal of hesitation, turned his hand
over to Smith, who began working to get
the straw out. Colonel Johnston let him
pull it out gradually, and Smith was all
sympathy, drawing his breath in sympa
thetically and now and then saying:
"Colonel, this is frightful." At length
the splinter wa3 far enough above the
nail to be caught hold of, and Zach gave
a quick jerk to end Colonel Johnston's
suffering. To his surprise he drew out
a splinter near three feet long.; He saw
the joke immediately and joined in the
hearty laugh of, those around
Louisville Commercial.

Fat and Lean People.
People who come under our hands
professionally, : ladies especially, ask
what they can do to be less fat or stout,
while others again wish to - know how
they can gain fifteen or twenty pounds.
Now, the amount of llesh depends greatly
on the curse of living, though constitu
tionally some have fuller habits than
others'while some seem to be constitution
ally thin. In nine cases out of ten, those
who are burdened with obesity, who
have . red faces and pimples, who aro so
fleshy that they cannot exert themselves
without getting; out of breath, who are
too plunip to bo graceful or comfortable
get into this; condition by means of
what they eat; and a large xiroportion cf
those who are thin are so because their
diet is not that which is best calculated
to produce proper health and comfortable
fullness. Generally these fat, red-faced
people, who are inclined to pimples, are
of the blonde order. Those who are of
the brunette order, instead of redness
and pimples, j have brown, rough
complexion; but both originate in
the same dietetic '-, errors. . We caution
sucu people that tuey should eat sugar
very sparingly, that they should exclude
the use of butter, or oily matters, and
especially puddmg3 and pastry tnat are
rich with lard or butter or sugar. They
generally reply: "But I am very fond of
all that you mention, and eat a great deal
of candy and drink my coffee as sweet as
it can be.
Wi en persons can digest starch, or in
other words, fine Hour in all its forms,
puddings pastry, also butter, sugar,
and oily matter generally they become
loaded with fat. because these articles
tend to produce fatness, and not strength
or muscle. Such food provides nothing
for the upholding of bram or muscle
It will often be found that fat people are
very weak; they have neither toughness
nor strength; On the other hand, thin
people are often so by using the articles
of diet which make the other people fat;
they cannot digest the sugar, butter.and
fine flour to any considerable extent,
consequently their svstems are kept in a
feverish, dyspeptical state; they become
nervous to the last degree, and the fact
is that their life is being burned out, 'and
many such people go into consumption
for no one other reason than that their
diet is such as to produce an intlamma
tory state: while the people who can
digest such food lav it on in the shape of
fatness, aud diej prematurely, of fatty
degeneration of the heart, liver or kid
neys. We could recite cases where per
sons have gained ten pounds a month by
changing their diet, and we remember
one lady who was ."34 years of age and
weighed 270 pounds. We advised her to
adopt the use of lean meat, Graham
bread and simple vegetables, with tart
fruit, and though she maintained her
strength and vigor, sue leu on six
pounds a month for mx months, and was
working down to 1170, which was about
the proper weight for one of her frame.
And we remember an opposite case that
of a young man who weighed Wo pounds
and stood five feet high. He was
using articles ! which kept his
system blazing hot snch as sugar,
butter and fine flour. We advised him to
take Graham bread, oatmeal and beef,
and in less than three months he had
reached the weight of 135 pounds.
People sometimes hear it said that sugar,
butter and fine flour produce fatness,and
so they do in people who can digest
them, though they produce nothing else
but heat and fatness; and thin people
adopt this carbonaceous diet, which will
make a person fat who has a predom
inance of the vital temperament, and
who has an excellent digestion, while
these articles in the system of the thin
only produce feverishness and bilious
ness, and they are kept in meaner coudi
tion than tuey were uy tne very means
which thev adopted ta make them fat.
The truth is that ja proper diet, such as
whpftfc pnnrfi (tho whnla of it hpinrr
taken), milk as J' provided by nature
vegetables, fruit, lean meat, con
stitute a normal .diet, and it will
generally produce a normal amount of
fatness; whereas an artificial diet such
as spices and acids and sweetnings and
shortenings tend to keep the system in
an unhealthful condition, and the result
is that not one person iu ten is heilthy,
and not one person in ten who is not con
sidered unhealthy,' and is expected to
liye to a good old age, lives as long by
many years as he! might if he had sub
sisted on a normal diet, and all stimu
lants and unnatural modes of living had
been avoided. It has been wisely said
that "men dig their graves with their
teeth," and they, do this not only by
drinking whisky, but by drinking coffee,
using tobacco, and in eating food that is
loaded down with material which pro
duces inflammation iu some, and bilious
ness, dyspepsia and bilious fever in
others. j.
The young Prince of Naples, tho fu
ture King of Italy will bo known, when
he comes to the throne, as Victor
Emmanuel III. He is now in his 14th
year, and will bo a well educated mon
arch. Naturally, also, he is thought to
be well endowed. I The prince has just
become a student in the Military college
at Naples, where ho was born. In Sar
dinia and Italy military educatiou of the
sons of royalty is a matter of course, in
which respect, so far as heirs apuarent
are concerned, the practice is unlike that
which prevails in England, where, it is
said, not one king for two centuries Iras
had a military education. But younger
members of the English royal family aro
always connected with the army or navy,
The Prince of Naples "has no humbug
about him," and is; to be put through a
regular course of training like any pie
beian. i
A pagan: A certain clerk in a western
village made the following comment on
Pocahontas. Said he: "Pocahontas
was a kind-hearted man." "Hold on!"
ciied his companion; ''Pocahontas was a
woman." "She j was, eh?" said he.
"Well, that's just my luck! How am i
expected to know? I never read the
bible."

Income
to Do. r
ana Nothing
A man with nothing to do is a pitiable
object, says Burdette. He is simply a
kept man. He is living on charity.
Some amiable snoozer, now dead, has
left him the money that ho lives on, and
all he has to do is to draw the money,
at, drink and sleep. No eye can
brighten with happiness when Le comos
home, because he only comes home when
the other places aro . closed. He cannot
come home tired and be petted and
rested by willing hands, because it would
be a mockery to pet a tired man who had
got tired doing nothing. Such a man
simply exists and is no good on earth.
If he would wheel a barrow and earn a
dollar, and get tired, and buy a beefsteak
witu tne dollar, and have it .cooked, and
eat it while tho appetite was on that be
got wheeling the barrow, he would know
more enjoyment than he had ever known
before. That man with nothing to do on
earth no doubt thinks, as he laya around
and smells frowy, that he is enjoying
life, but he knows no more about enjoy
ment than a tom-cat that sleeps all day
and goes out at night to play short-step to
a lot of bootjacks and beer bottles. Such
a man is a cipher, and does not know
enough to go in when it rains: If there
were less incomes left to lazy young fel
lows and more sets of carpenter tools,
there would be more real enjoyment.
The quantity of pig iron made in the
United States is-l&32 was 4,G23,300 tons,
almost 500,000 ton9 more than ever be
