Phantoms.
Face dim come crowding round me
In the silence of the night.
As I Mt half-dozing, sleepily.
By Ihe flickering tapers light.
Forms and faces crnvd around me
That were buried loner a"-o.
And the long procession passes.
But will come again, know.
Some aro old. and weak and feeble.
Some in childhood's bloom appear,
And listen through the stillness
If I can their voices hear.
Buc they never speak unto me ;
TlKjy but pasS wiili noiseless tread,
And 1 often sigh to join them
As 1 bow my weary bead.
They are ever near nnio me,
Though I see them but at night
Those dun phantoms of the bygone
By the flickering taper's light.
But the last that pasea from me
Turns to me her clear eyes.
And with uprais'd hand she pointe'.h
To the laud beyond the skies.
"Tis the form of her who journeyed
By my side in early youth.
The angel who lit my footsteps
With Ler lump of love and truth.
She smiles as ihe passes by me,
And my cares seem hali' reinov'd
For the thought revives and cheers me
That by one I still am lov"d.
So, whene'er I am faint or weary,
Or my drooping spirits sink.
I the gloomy thoughts put from me,
And upon that angel think.
And I bless the band of phantoms
Ti nt come to tne til night,
As I sit. alone- and thinking
By the flickering tap-r"s light.
Woi:cn Tipp;ei.
A Into number of tbe I' t' i n
cr. a LonTon i)ielic;tl journal, con
tains an article on '"The Use
ami Abuse of Alcohol by
Women," "which Ave fear, so far as
the allude is concerned, is quite as
applicable to the Amc-iic-an as to
the British inetronoiis. The ed
itor says: ''The writer maintains
that the increain;jf prevalence ol
alcoholic excess amouLS educated
women, demands the most earnest
attention of all medical men. lie
is no advocate of total abstinence,
but is compelled by the extent of
the evil, to raise a voice of o!emn
waniiiui against the abuse of alco
holic beverages. Accord iicr to ht
observation, a ;;reat number of la
dies in the best socictv of London
are in the habit of takinr daily
from four to eight glasses of highly
fortified sherry or port, coiilaining
from an ounce' and a half to six
otinecs of absolute alcohol. This
tact is a verv awkward one for ev
ery medical man who ta kes a consci
entious inteiot in the webare of
his patients. The habit is often
formed at the termination of an
acute illness, when the laru'e doses
of a'coh-d that were preset ibed are
still continued and a half bottle of
strong sherry a day is taken ior
weeks or months. The effects are
most disastrous. The patient suf
fers a daily narcotization which
su fti C 'S to implant in the nervous
system of women a fixed craving
of alcoholic drinks. Kven many
young girls of the wealthy mid
dle classes are of lalo yea:s
taking to consume all kinds of
wine, especially champaign, to a
perfect! v ruinous extent. At many
modern balls, champaign flows like
water, and it is by no means the
lords of creation who do the larg
est part of the consumption. The
same young ladies who have par
taken so freely of champaigne o ver
night, will next day at lunch take
plenty of bottled beer, or a couple
of glasses of sherry. J Tamer comes
round, and with it more cham
paigne, or hock, or sherry, or port,
of which not less than a couple of
glasses are again taken. The even
ing in turn brings another patty,
with its inevitable allowance of
champaigne or sherry. Many who
live among thy rich are in the hab
it, at least for si:-: months in the
y a", of taking from two to three
ounces of absolute alcohol daily
a quantity equal to three or four
quarts of common beer. The ef
fect of this is disgusting and ruin
ous. Dr. Anstie, though no enemy
of the moderate use of wine, sees
no remedy but the dispensing with
the provision of alcoholic drinks at
evening parties for women. This
may be complained of as inhospit
able, but, as a medical adviser, he
finds the true itle.il of hospitality
in the custom oi simple evening en
tertainments in which there isnot
much outlay for eating and noth
ing to drink but a little lemonade
and iced water, or. he might have
added, a cup of coffee or chocolate.
The modern supper parties, in Ids
view are becoming a pet feet nui
sance, both on the score of expense
to persons of moderate means f-iid
of danger in the formation of taste
for wine drinking, which is rrener
ated by a liberal supply of cham
paigne, and other fascinating bev
erages. The Louisville Courier Journal
says that supporting our present
navy at an expense of 020,000,000
a year, is like paying six dollars a
week for keeping a five dollar
mule.
Private Habits of Horace Greeley as
Observed in l;t bv Mark Twain.
An intimate acquaintance with a
distant relative of the editor of the
Tribune puts it in ray power to
furnish the public with the last
positively the very last link nec
essary to perfect the chain of
knowledge already in its posses
sion concerning Air. Greeley. I
mean his private habits. We know
all about him as regards every
other department of Ins, life and
services. Because, whenever a
magazine or a bookmaker is em
ployed to write, and cannot think
of a subject, he writes about Hor
ace Greeley. Even the boys in
the schools have quit building in
spired compositions on "The
Horse," and have gone to doing
Horace Greeley instead; and when
declamation day comes around,
their voices are no longer "still for
V war ami 1 'at nek lienrv. but tor
peace and Horace Greeley. Now,
the natural result of all this is that
the public have come to think that
this man has no life but public life,
no nature but a public nature, no
habits but public habits. This is
all wrong. 3Ir. Greeley has a pub
lic life.
Mi:. OKKELKY HAS PrjVATK IIA1JITS.
Mr. Greeley gets up at. three
o'clock in the morning; for it is
one of his maxims that only early
rising can keep the health unim
paired and the brain vigorous.
He then wakes up the household
.and assembles them in the library
by candlelight ; and, after quoting
the beautiful lines
Early to bed and early to ri-u;
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wi--.r.
he appoints each individual a tak
for the dav, sets him at it with
some encouraging words, and goes
back to bed again.
At half-past eleven o'clock', Air.
Greeley ri;;es again. He shaves
himself, lie considers that there
is great
VIliTL'i: AXI) KCOXOMV
in shaving himself. He docs it
with a dull razor, sometimes hum-
miug part oi
tune, (lie knows
part of a tunc, and takt
an inno
cent delight in regarding it as the
first half ot Old Hundred ; but par
ties familiar with that hymn have
felt obliged to confess that they
could not recognize it, and, there
fore, the noise he makes is doubt
less an unconscious original com
position of Mr. Greeley's) and
sometimes, when the razor is es
pecially dull, he accompanies him
self with a formula like this: "
the razor; and the outcast who
made it." 11. G.
He then goes out into his model
garden, and applies his vast store
of
A G K I C U LTU UAL K X O W I . K D G E
to the amelioration of his cabbage;
after which he writes an able, agri
cultural article for the instruction
id' American farmers, his soul cheer
ed the while with the reflection
that if cabbages were wort h 1 1
apiece his model farm would pav.
lie next goes to breakfast, which
is a fugal, abstemious mead with
him, and consists of nothing but

nothing more. He drinks nothing
but water nothing whatever but
water, and coffee, and tea, and
.Scotch ale, and 1;

beer.
and lemonade with a fly in it
sometimes a housefly ami some
times a horsefly, according to the
amount of inspiration required to
warm him up to his daily duties.
During breakfast ho reads tlie
Tribune all through, and enjoys
the satisfaction of knowing that
all the brilliant things in it, written
by Young and Cooke and myself,
are attributed to him by a confid
ing and ignorant miblie.

he writes a short editorial, and
puts a large dash at the beginning
of it, thus ( ), which is the
same as if lie put II. G. alter it, and.
takes a savage pleasure in reflect
ing that none of us under strappers
can use that dash, except in pro
fane conversation when chafing
over the outrage. lie writes this
editorial in his own handwriting.
He does it because lie is so vain ct
his penmanship. He always did
take an inordinate pride in pen
mandiip. He hired out once in his
young davs as a writing master,
but
THE EXTEEPaiSE FAILED.
The pupils could not translate his
marks with any certainty. His
first copy was "Virtue is its own,"
and they got it "Washing with
soap is low and absurd," and so
the trustees discharged him for at
tempting to convey bad morals
through the medium of worse pen
manship. But, as I was saying, he
writes his morning editorial. Then
he tries to read it over, and can't
do it, and so sends it to the print
ers, and they try to read it, and
can't do it; and so they set it up
at random, as you may say, put
ting in what words thev can make
out, and when they get around or.
a long word they put in ''protec
tion" cr "universal suffrrge," ami
spar off and paddle ahead, and
next morning, if the degraded pub
lic can tell what it is all about,
they say II. G. wrote it, and if
they cam t they say it i.j one of
those imbecile nnder-strappers, and
that is the end of it.
A Ciieerfiil Home.
i single word mar disc-met an !
CMiUre Jamily for u w noie day. One
surly glance casts a gloom over the
household; while a smile, like a
gleam of sunshine, may light up
the darkest and weariest hours.
Like unexpected flowers which
spring up along our path, full of
freshness, fragrance and beauty, so
the kind words, and gentle acts,
and sweet dispositions, made glad
the home where peace and blessing
dwell. Xo matter how humble
the abode, if it be thus garnished
with grace and sweetness, with
kindness and smiles, the heart will
turn laughingly toward it from all
the tumults of the worid,and homo,
if it be ever so homely, will be the
dearest spot beneath the circuit of
the sun.
And the influences of home per
petuate themselves. The gentle
grace of the mother lives in her
daughters long after
pillowed in the dust o
her head is
earth ; and
fatherly kindness iinds its echo in
tne nobility ami coarUs-
of sons
who come towear his mantle and fill
his place; while on the other hand,
from an unhappy, ungoverued and
disordered home, go forth persons
who shall make other homes mis
erable; and perpetuate the sourness
and sadness, the contentions, and
striies, and railing,
ma tie their own t
which nave
iy lives so
wretched ami ttistovteO.
Toward the cheerful home the
children gather "as clouds and as
doves to their windows;" while
from the home which is the abode
of discontent, ai;d strife, and. troub
le they 11 v forth as vultures to rend
their prey.
The e!a -r. of men that disturb
and disorder, and distress the
wot Id are not those born and na
turcd amid the hallowed influences
of christian homes; but rather
those whose early lives has be n a
scene of tremble and vexation, who
have started wrong in the pilgrim,
age, and whose course is one of
disr.it r to themselves and trouble
to those ar und them.

Greeley considers the present
month the best lime for grafting
baked-bean trees and pruning cel
ery vines. The pork crop should
be transplanted from the hot-beds
as ear'.ey as the 20th, or the ears
cvill not be filed out well and the
cr.reuliio will devour the fuitas
fast as it falls from the limbs. Let
tuce should be planted about four
setds in a hill, on land plowed at

plow, and poles should bo set foi
the vines to run upon. The heads
should not be shaken from the

Suckers should be pinched off beet

Out in Kansas the other day a
man was arrested charged with as
sault and battel y with intent to
kill. He had shot the plaintiff
through the thigh, and contended
that there was no intent to kill, be
cause, with his reputation for
"deadly aim," he could have killed
him if he wanted to. To test his
skill he and the Justice retired to
the rear of the o trice, where the de
fendant, at twenty paces, put six
balls into the bottom of an oyster
can in as many seconds. Cpon re
turning to the court the defendant
was discharged on the ground that
such an excellent "shot" could not
possibly have any intent to kill.

bodies as to cause again to recur
the quadrenial period at which the
nation may ppprcpnately acknowd-
edge and ratify my continuance in
power. e rejoice to recognize
and reward the loyalty of your
party to ourself, and to ov.v affec
tionate cousins of the Presidential
family. You will learn with pride
that, not only in tins country, but
in Europe, the Executive rank is
appreciated in a novel and gratify
ing manner.

ing at the various palaces -T sister
governments, and escorted by the
chief oiiicer of the army, and
a numerous retinue; the presence
and grateful reception of another
member of our family by the Brit
ish Queen is also well calculated
to facilitate the peaceful settlement
of the Alabama Claims. Should
the continuing appreciation of the
American people approximate to
that shown by the. Hepabj icons
of England two centuries ago
towards General Cromwell, whose
training- as a tanner cmim nil v fitted

The unanimous vote of the
'Hnmp," defeating the Chorpen
ing claim (-sl:3:.,000) after it had
b en carefully mused by our Exe -u-
tive serenity and our Secretaries for
four years, and after we had per
emptoiily ordered it paid, was an
impoverishing blow to the finances
of the Administration, and indi
cates the ungenerous tendency of
certain restless and mischievous
opponents of the party to reduce
its great exponents to the scanty
put a. nee
rded by our meagre
saianes. f-i tins tlisaster we are
consoled by the complete success
of one of tour most able secretaries
in extracting from the Treasury
the sums of A00,0o0 on the Seeor
claims, and (-000,000 on the Poach
contract, besides other very iair
transactions, known as the Gov

he has done.
Conversal Ion.
Conversational power is a gift of
birth. It is some men's nature to
talk. Words flow out incessantly,
like drops from a spring in the hill
side not because they are solicit
ed, but because pushed out by an
inward foice that will not let them
be -still. From this extreme there
is every degree of modification
until we come to the opposite ex
treme in which men seem almost
unable, certainly unwilling to tit
ter their thoughts. Some men are
poor in simple language. They
have thoughts enough but the
sy nabob of thought words re
fuse to present themselves, or come
stingily. Others are silent from
the stricture of f eeretiveness.
Others are cautious, and look be
fore they speak, and before they
are ready the occasion lias passed.
In regard to language itself, the
habit of reading pure English, and
of employing it every day, is the
best drill for a good talker. Peo
ple always act more naturally in
their every day clothes than
they do when dressed up for Sun
day ; and the reason is, that they
are unconcious in one case, ami
self-conscious in the other. It is so
in speech. If one allows himself
to talk coarsely and vulgaily evey
day and out of company, he will
most" assuredly find it not eay to
walk in company.
Habit is stronger than intention,
and some w core the common run
of speech will break through and
betray you. To converse well at
some times requires that you shall
converse well at all times.
Avoid on the one side vulgarism,
all street colloquialisms, even when
they are net vacious; for by-words
and slang sentences ami! id only
when they are new. As soon a-s
thev become habitual they coirupt
your language, without any equiv
alent in amusement.
On the other extreme, avoid
magniloquent ami high flown lan
guage of every kind. Xothing is
more tod'ous than a grand talker.
Everybody laughs at a pompt us
fellow who lugs into his conversa
tion big words or pendantie expres
sions. The be.-t language in the
world is that which is so simple
and transparent that no one thinks
of the words which they use, but
only of tho thought or feeling
which they express. .;
A lT.EAciiKn, whoso custom it
was to indulge in very long ser
mons, exchanged with one who
preached short ones. At about the
usual time for dismissing, the aud
ience began to go out, until nearly
all had left, when the sexton, who
had stood it as long as he could,
walked up to the pulpit stairs, and
said, to the preacher in a whisper:
"When you have got through, lock
up, will yon, and leave the key at
iiiv house next to the church.

The Iloosier's Reveutre.
The fearful iccord of cvimetmade
by her vigilence committee has
given to Jackson countjr, Indiar,
a world-wide but unenviable fame.
But it is reserved to a Jackson
county farmer to eclipse all tho
barbarism previously practiced) in,
his county, &nd reach the refine
ment of cruelty in his treatment of
his wretched, though guilty wife.
This farmer's name was Jones, and
lie lived near tho line dividing
Jackson and Monroe counties. lie
had a voung and handsome wife;
but her ways were dark and her
tricks vain, and tfiey did not live
happily together. A few evenings
ago, Jones went home from his
work and found his wife gone. She
had eloped with another man.
Mounting a fleet horse he dashed
off in pursuit. It was toward even

horse, and wa? soon up witlPtho

Holding the revolver cocked in one

Dr. Livingstone's Wiereabouts.
0
It is stated that the expense sus
tained byr the Xew York Herald 'in
sending a correspondent to hunt
up Dr. Livingstone amounts to
$-J0,000. However this may be, o
now that Mr. Stanley's guest has
been successful, ami that positive
intelligence has been received of
the continued existence and where
abouts of the distinguished travel
ler, all praise must be accorded to
the signal enterpricse of the journal
that has accomplished this result.
But, in tho meantime, what about
Dr. Livingstone? A dispatch from
Bombay of the 12th ult., receive.d
in London, intimates that, although
fonntl, the Doctor declines to re
main found ; or, in other words,
" lie refuses to leave the country,
intending to explore an under
ground path between Lakes LTn
yauvembe and Xyassa." This de
termination of the worthy explorer
presents his case in a new phase.
For our part, we promise him that
he shall not have our sympathy if,
as will most probably be the case,
he should become lost in the sub
terranean passages of Africa. Wo
forgot the exact distance between
the two lakes named ; but it is con
siderable. At all events, we mug's
decline to follow the Doctor in his
sub-soil explorations. He has shown
that to be lost on the earth's sur
face is serious enough ; but the idea
of his being " missing" under
ground is a profound mystery
which admits of no solution.
A lady was asked by her servant
about the nature of the next world,
and whether it was the same as this.
The lady ble-ised with a happy
family of eleven children, has a
skeleton in the shape of a stocking
basket that is never empty, and at
whose tide siic has spent many a
midnight hour in darning. AVith
this rpeetor before her c3'es, she re
plied to the girl playfully: "I don't
think we .shall be required to darn
stockings after midnight. "Sure
that's true for you, mum for all

A Good Custaeo. Upon five
eggs, well beaten, pour one quart
of milk scalding hot, stirring hot,
stining all the time; sweeten too

oven at moderate heat. A custard
made in this tvay is superior to ono
made of cold milk, as the t&stejs
richer, and it does not "whey."
Chisp Muffins. One pint of
sifted Indian meal; one pint of

muffins do not touch. Let them
bake till crisp and brown.
