S it. isJS OF nOXU.
I know an i.lanit. serenely briplit.
lTtiMw'pt I'V tern pet, and storm, and strife,
That lu-ili ileltiKwl with Hoods of light
Mane where in the ea of our retle life ;
AikI n. when I he billow are lark anil high,
' The (r drop Unwn from my nerveless
1 . hand,
A nd 1 watch for a gleam of the somen ky .,
Ami the chining chore of that holy land.
'TKthe Ile of Song! From it temple, grand
rsweet voice come Intlie night 's still hours,
Ami I know for aye with minstrel band
ntililm walk In the star-lit bowers -
I know they are there with their radiant
brown.
Whose hearts' deep breathings of hope and
trust
Have lightened the weight of the harsh
world's blows,
And lined my spirit from gloom and dust.
I h. ebb and flow of the surging tide 1
oil, cloud that ar j black with the com I nit
storm ! .
Oh. breath of the billows wild and wide'!
Are ve bearing thither mv shrinking form?
The kind winds watt me many a strain
From Its blossoming valleys fresh and Tair ;
IUil, above them, 1 hear the clank of the
chain
That ulndeth my soul to the world of care 1
Oh, beautiful isle! sweet Island afar 1
oh, murmuring fountains of rosiest wine!
Oh. eves, shlntus nut as a luminous ainr
Omny frail bark shut from the light dl-
I can hear, I can hear, as the night grows
deep,
A sound as of song from the passionless
Hut phantoms of gloom from the echoes creep,
And dangerous darkness vex the winils.
Ah, few are the spirits whose own true home
It the calm, pure Isle where the suit skies
glow ;
Ami few nro tho feet tliat have right to roam
Where the lieaiitlt'ul rivers of nectar How ;
But 1 know, 1 know of a fairer isle,
Ituyond I lie river, whose name Is Death,
Where the sail, sail eves shall forever smile.
And song will hallow each floating breath.
To that blossoming Isle mv bark glides on
Forever away e'er the storm I ul sea ;
Onward through darkness that knows no
dawn,
To, tlie harbor fair as the fair mav be.
Anil oft. when the billows are wild and high,
And the ir is broken nmler my hantl,
M v sad eyes catch a glimpse of sk v
That leaneth low to thu Infants "Land !
Ami I hoar -or seem to hear-a9 1 list,
of Moutlicst raiment a summery stir-;
And llht on my forehead are lips I kissed
In tin; delicate dawning of dreams that
were
So little I reck of the broken oar
The rtratned oar broken under mv hand ;
Enough that I'm nearing the beautiful shore.
Tile blossoming shore of the Infinite Land !

ing against the snirit oi tns age, ana u
ODDOsltion to the moral sentiment of

A Night on Vesin ioiis.
The Louisville Journal has a Naples
correspondent who writes : 1 spent tlie
night with some friends on 'the top of
Vesuvius freezing on one side and
boiling on the other. We kept our
selves awake by tlieaiuu'einent of (lodg
ing the falling stones. A I Hint once in
teu minutes the old mountain gave a
shiver, then burst like forty thousand
muffled millions, if ever then was
such a tiling. At each burst a cloud of
black smoke, in tlie shape of an Invert
ed hay stick, and thirteen times the size
of the Gait House, was driven into tlie
air, followed by a vivid flame that .
lighted the country for leagues around. :
Then look for stones ; millions of tons,
are thrown hundreds of feet high into ,
tlie air, most of them lulling back into
tlie crater, but many, varying in size
from a pigeon's egg to a tobacco hogs-.
head,laud outside, and you mustklodgc:
generally easy enough, tlicy are of? a
white heat, and show as plain as a
rocket-star. They tumbled down the
steep cone, hissing and steaming in tin
snow tlie big ones breaking into frag
ments and flying like a bursting shell.
Now is tlie time ten minutes interval. ,
We rush np to the very edge ot the
abyss and look down ; for further par-
ticulars see Dante's " In ferno ;" but '
you spoil your boots; I did. You singe
your mustache ; I did. And you wish :
you were safely out it. I did. You ,
turn away, sneezing as if you had accl-
deutly Ignited a box of locofocos under
your nose ; for a moment all Is dark ; I
then the long twinkling row of gas .
lamps in the streets of Naples seem to
springy out ot the ground under your ;
feet, though miles away ; then you see :
the lights in the little towns above the
base of the mountains, iu all save one, (
and tliat one the largest Pompeii with
Its great old temple, magnificent tbca- (
ters, dose built streets, and vast arena, i
is dark ; the grim skeleteus lying in
their uslten beds alone keep their vigils j
tliere; tlieir eyeless sockets need no '
sight. No sight that I ever witnessed .
can equal a dear sunrise from Vesnvi
us. No one cm imagine its grandeur. (
but you must try to, for I dare not at
tempt a description. As we stood gaz-'
ing down on tlie rootless houses of Pom
peii, the sun lighting its gay-colorwl
wall, Torre del Greco, with its earth- ;
quake-sliadeii walls I said ; " I am J
glad of it." .. ' '
That great and jgood agricultural

How to Get n in the World.
A working man some time ago
published his own biography, one ot
tlie most interesting little volumes that
lias appeared during the present cen
tury. It is as follows: "It may to
some appear like vanity in me to write
what 1 now do, but I should not give
'my lite truly if I omitted it. When
filling a cart with earth on a farm, I
never stopped work because mv side of
the cart might be heaped up before tlie
other side, at which was another work
man. I puslied over what I had
heaped up, to help him ; so doubtless
lie did to me, when he was first and I
was last. When I liave filled my I
column or columns of a newspaper
.with matter for which I was to lie
paM. I never stopped if I thought the
subject required more explanation, be
cause there was no contract for more
laymeiit. or no possibility of ob
taining more. When I have lived in a
barrack room. I have stopped work,
and taken a baby from a soldier's wife,
when slie liad to work, and nursed it
for her, or gone for water for her, or
cleaned another man's accoutrements,
though It was no part of my duty to
do so.
When I liad been engaged In politi
cal literature and travelling fora news
paper, I have gone many miles out of
my road to ascertain a local fact, or to
pursue a subject to its minutes details,
if it apM.-aivd tliat the public were un
acquaiuled with the Cicts of the case;
and this when I hail work, was the
most pleasant and profitable. AVlien I
liave wanted work, 1 have accepted it
at any wages I could get. at a plow in
farm-draining stone-quarrying, break
ing stones, at wood-cutting, in a saw
pit, as a civilian, or a soUlicr. In Lon
don I liave groomed a cabman's horse
and cleaned out a stable for sixpence.
1 have since tried literature, and have
done as much writing for ten shillings
as I have readily obtained bothsought
for and offered ten guineas for.
Bui. if 1 had not lieen contented to
begin at the beginning, and accepted
ten shillings I should not hive arisen
to guineas. I have lost nothing by
working, whatever I have lieen doing,
with spade or pen I liave lieen my
own helper. Are you prepared to
imitate 'i Humility is always tlie at
tendant of sense, folly alone was proud.
A wise divine, when lie preached to the
voutbs of his congregation, was wont
to say : " ' Beware of lieing golden ap
prentices, silver journeymen and cop
per masters.' Tlie only cure for pride
is sense ; and the only path to promo
tion is condescension.- What multi
tudes have been ruined by the pride of
their hearts: ' Here is testimony
worth treasuring in mind by every
IhkIj'. Effects of Vaccination.
The value of vaccination as a pre
ventative of small-)OX, though ques
tioned by many, seems attested by sta
tistics. When sniall-jiox was raging
as an epidemic in London in iS(3. ob
servations were made by the physicians
upon 50,000 children belonging to na
tional and parochial schools, work
houses, etc. Some of the childreu!iad
never lieen vaccinated; the great ma
jority had, in various ways and degrees.
Of every 1,000 children without any
marks of vaccination, !MX) had marks
of small-pox. W hiie of every 1,000
children who had evidence of vaccina
tion, only 178 had any traces of th'
disease. Iu regard to the amount of
vaccination, it was found that of chil
dren having four or more cicatrices,
only 0.02 per thousand were scarred
with sm:ill-iox. rsc the Ix'st vaccina
tion proved thirty-fold more protective
than the worst, and the worst was
twenty-seven times lietjer than none
at all.
The study ofl 5.000 eases of sniall
ox at the London Hospital shows tliat
the tuivaccinafed died at the rite of .'!"
percent., and the vaccinated at flic
rate of only fl1 per cent.; the mortali
ty -iniong those with four scars Ix-ing
only 0.5"), while that among thoc with

The extent ot the damage done by
the file at Warwick castle lias non
been accurately ascertained. Tlie
whole of the private apartments in the
eastern wing lias lx-en destroyed. The
only tilings saved were the valuable
books from the library anil the pictures
on the walls. The furniture of the
apartments was wholly destroyed, to
gether with the entire wardrolie of
Uuy Warwick. Of tlie baronial hall
nothing is left standing but the outer
walls, i'he Venetian marble floor Is
seriously damaged, the roof of the
banqueting liall is much damaged by
water. The state, apartments and all
the picture and furniture they con
tained were saved. The preservation
of these apartments is owing to tlie
massive stone wall between tlie red
drawing-room and the baronial hall.

was, that when the throne next be-

J. M. Murphy, late local reporter of

the prosecution satisfied the jury that
the discharge of a pistol by Mr. Mur
phythe fact tqion which the indict

that, though the ball, alter passing
through his own linger, passed through
the clothing of a woman standing on

No little complaint has been made
aliout the sending of letters to the
dead-letter office. Often the Postoffice
has no excuse save the negligence or
oversight of its employes, but we feel
sure they are not always to blame. In
answer to a recent letter of inquiry as
to the Insufficiently prepaid letters, the
Postmaster General made the follow
ing replv : When you tmve reason t
believe the postage on a letter was In
tentionally insufficiently prepaid, or
when it is evident from the weight of
a letter or iwiekage that the insufficient
preniynient was intentional, tlie let- j
ter should lie detained and tlie writer
notified of its detention, if practicable ;
otherwise it should be sent to the dead
letter oltice."

Tlie last legislature of Washington
Territory overhauled the estray law
and put It iu a condition tliat is com
plained of. Tlie most objectionable
feature of the law is, that an estray

running at the premises ot tlie taker
un one year; consequent! v but few
persons will ever go to tlie trouble of
posting the animal. Uuring the lafe
cold weather most of tlie estray ani

in feeding them unless the animal liad
been on llie premises one year.
Tlie Australian Colonial Parliament
passed five times the law permitting iu
tliat colony a marriage with a deceased
wife's sister, and it was only after re
peated refusals to sanction such legisla
tion that the British Colonial Office has
finally confirmed the act. The Queen
using her veto always refused lier as
sent, on the ground that the proposi
tion was diametrically' at variance
with a fundamental principle of the
English Iaw. The statute of the Aus
tralian Parliament was finally con
firmed, on the express ground that It
was passed with little opposition in
both houses, and that tlwre was a
strong popular feeling in its favor.
These reasons are considered as Living
the foundation of a principle upon
whidi the laws of the British colonies
and of the mother country will soon
be establislied njion entirely different
bases. Tlie jieople or Australia, it is
well known, desire to model their leg
islation on that of the United States.
and under these circumstances, the
British Colonial Office, acting on the
Driiicinle recently adopted, will be apt
to sanction laws which do not harmon
ize with many of the antiquated pre
cedents still in force in the mother
country.

H. W. Beecher on Death.
Bceclicr discoursed recently in his
lecture room about tlie various ideas of
death. Ho did not think it an evi
dence of special Christian grace to tie
willing to die. He didn't think it
natural for tlie young and those full of
tlie activities of life to desire to die.
It is better to be willing to live and do
tlie. duties of life. When Paul said it
was lietter to depart he was an old man
in prison. If an October pippin says
it is ready to drop is that any reason a
little green apple in Jnne should tie
ready. It is the business of green ap
ples to get ripe. All the representa
tions ot the New Testa ment attont deatli
are full of cheer and hope. For Paul
to die whs to go to Christ. Dying is
not growing short of breath and feeble
of pulse ; it Is Hying np to the All
loving Soul of the universe. It is go
ing to sweet companionship. We
struggle on through the world, finding
little companionship, but we go to tlie
spirits of just men made perfect. We
go where all tlie conditions lilt us up
to a realm r.t nobility. There all Is iu
coticord. There is no selfishness, no
harduess and crudeness and rudeness
and revenge ; all are working tip with
one sweet impulse with the great genial
creative force of divine love. These
thoughts ring in my soul like llie bell
ot a far off city drawing me thither
ward. Dying is tiie easiest thing men
do. Tlie siift'ering Is in life ; but as a
rule, men die as easily as a door turns
upon its hinges. Dying is going home;
not to suppleness ; not to Oriental
luxury ; but to supreme activity,
where every part, is developed and
cultured in "tlie realm of love. Bless
God ior the privilege of dying! My
brotlier Cliarles, who was always in a
dying mood, otice congratulated my
father upon tlie fact tliat he couldn't
live much longer. "Umph," said the
old man, "1 don't thank any of my
boys to talk to me in tliat way. I don't
want to die. If I had my dioice, and
it was right, to choose, I would tight
tlie battle all over." "Father," con
tinued lW-echer, "was a warliorse, and
after he was turned out to pasture,
wlienever he lieard the sound of a
trumpet he wanted the Kiddle and
bridle."
Have we a Healthy Man Anion? us.
It is tlie custom now-a-days, in
speaking of tlie physical condition of
the American jieople, to assume that
wluite-er characteristics belong to
them are to be traced back to woman ;
and as even. the casual observer ier
ceives that we, as a tieonle, are sull
ied to various weaknesses, or disor
ders, the eonscMiicnce Is that the deli
cate shoulders of women are weiglied
down with a beavjbundle of com
plaints and advice. Against this we
protest. It is not courteous, to say the
least; and besides, tlie assumption is
unsupported. When it comes to a
mutter of health, tlie question is not of
sex. but of race : and although it is
undoubtedly true that no people can
long maintain it--?lf without iM-althv
mothers yet it, is just as true tliat no
jieople can long maintain itself with
out healthy lathers.
Have we a healthy man among u?
Yes as individuals, but he is not what
is called in current talk, "the average

icines and the supply is according to

There are two sjarific causes for the

that he may step higher up. he is con
tinually aiming at a star rather tlian a
tree, or ol'i-ii exhau-ts himself in seek
ing that which is still lievond him.
In the second jilatv, the pleasures of
men often injure them. The young
man at. college rows himself out ot
health, while tlie man of business mis
takes excitement for pleasure. There
nni-t Is- something pungent and al
most acrid alxail even tlie occupations
ot a day of leisure. Tliere is no time
in these days for one to sit in the sun
and sing old songs.
