Questions. What burns our factories, cities, mills. And soaks our fields with crimson rills, Then glorifies the man who kills? 'Tis war, an ancient custom. What causes taxes to oppress ? What hinders works of righteousness, And multiplies the fatherless. Like this unholy custom? Why do foul murders still increase, And fireside papers never cease To publish crime, instend of peacc? Because, it is the custom. What swallows, without stint or measure, The nation's wealth of blood and treasure, Till even sntan smiles with pleasure On this, his chosen custom ? What leads our youth to think 'tis right To tniln with guns, and learn to fight And kill, like genteel demons might? Hark to the answer: custom. Why float war ships o'er oeeans wide ? Why build huge forts on every side, And monster cannon still provide, To keep alive this custom ? Why pastor choose for illustration Pictures of war and desolation. To point the truth of inspiration ? Why Dot condemn the custom ? What other faith, or gospel seed, Like this, our peaceful. Christian creed. Can e'er supply the world's groat need, And end this horrid custom? What leading sect has ever been Brave to rebuke this giant sin. Opening its doors, to let none in Who sanction this vile custom? Why need we stain our history's page With bloody deeds of hero rage; Why not make this the golden age Of better, purer custom ? Extracts from Jonathan and his Con tlnont. BY MAX O'RF.LT,. In France we look well at the bill and study it; we discuss the dishes, arranging them discreetly ami artistical ]y in the mind before making their acquaintance more fully on the palate. We are gourmets. In America the question seems to be not, "Which of tnese dishes will po well together?" but, "How many of them can T manage?" It is so much a day ; the moderate eaters pay for the gluttons. You see women come 'down at S to breakfast in silk attire, and decked in JS&.' diamonds. And what a breakfast! Flrts an orange and a banana to fre?h' en the mouth and whet the appetite: then fish, bacon and eggs, or omelet, beefsteak or chop with fried potatoes, hominy cakes, and preserves. "How little you eat, you French people !" said an American tome one day as I was order in or my breakfast of cafe an lait and bread and butter. "You are mistaken," I said, "only we do not care for our dinner at ? o'clock in the morning." Those pood negroes have sueh cheerful, open faces! Thev seem so glad t<be alive, and they look so pood natured that it does one pood to see them. When they look at one another they lauph. AVhen you look at them thev lauph. If a negro sees another nesro more black than himself ho is delight ed: he calls him "darky" and looks on him in a patronizing way. Their preat dark eyes that show the whites so, when they roll them in their own droll fashion ; the two rows of whiteteeth constantly on view, framed in thick retrousse lips : the swaying manner of walkinp, with turned out. toeand head thrown back; the mueiesil voice, sweet bnt sonorous, and so pleasing compared to the horrible twang of the lower class people in the north, all make up a picturesque whole.

"You've come to de wrong table, sab," said tbe attendant darkv. Then, indicating the negro who served at tin next table, he added : "Dat's de gentleman dat waits 011 you, sab."

It requires a? much perspicacity to fell one from another as it does to distinguish one French gendarme from another Freneh gendarme America has been doubling its population every twenty-five years. If immigration continues at the same rate as it has hitherto, in fifty years she will have more than two hundred millions of inhabitants. If, during that time, Europe makes progress only in the arts and sciences, while the socia' condition of its nations does not improve, she will lie to America what barbarism is to civilization. While the Hohenzollerns the Hapsburgs and the Firebrandenburgs re " view their troops; while her standing armies are costing Europe more than SI,000,000.000 a year, in time of peace : whilst the European debt is more than $2-j,000,000,000, the American treasury at Washington, in spite of corruption. which it is well known does exist, has a surplus of $(>0,000,ooo. Whilst European governments cudgel their wits lo devise means for meeting the expenses of absolute monarchies, the Wa?!.ing ton government is at a loss to know what to do with the money it has in hand. Whilst the European telegrams in the daily papers give account* o' reviews, mobilizations and military maneuvers, of speeches in whi<*h the people are reminded that their duty is to serve their emperor first and their! country afterwards, of hlasphcmonprayers in which fJod is asked to hV-s sohiiers, swords and gunpowder, the American telegrams announce the price of corn and cattle and the quotations on the American stock exchange. The truest sympathy is that which is shown voluntarly, without waiting for a specific call upon its cxerc sc There are few persons so haul-hearted as not to proffer bread to an lionet-1 man whom they know to he starving; but there ate many persons who arcnever moved to such an interest in all their immediate lieighboss as toniaki sure that no one of tlieru is in a lack that ought to be immediately supplied. Orientals have a proveib to the eJl'cet that it is a shame to a man to he begged of for help, for lie ought to be prompt to supply want liefore he is asked to do so. The underlying thought of this proverb was emphasized in the eloquent tribute of Mr. Gladstone to his old friend and associate, Mr. John Hrigbt, in the course of which he said : "His sympathies were not strong only, but active : not sympathies awaiting calls to be made upon them, but. the sympathies of a man ?. seeking objects upon which to bestow the inestimable advantages of eloquence and courage." It is to a man's credit that he responds promptly to every proper call upon him fur help and cheer; but it is more tr? a man's credit that he Iseeks to give help and cheer to. those whose aching or despondent hearts have not yet forced them into a cry for sympathy and assistance. !S.

Consult Tour Wife. Two gentlemen were talking about a business enterprise, in which though it involved some pecuniary risk, they were strongly inclined to embark. Finally one of them remarked: "I must consult my wife before I decide." "Why!" exclaimed the other, <;is she boss?" "Xo," was the .calm reply, "neither am I. We are a well matched team ; and we don't drive tandem. My wife is as much interested in the welfare of our family as I, and she has a right to have a voice in the investment <>f our little property." There is nothing more than justice in this view of matrimonial obligation, especially in the case of poor or only moderately well-to-do families?and these comprise an overwhelmingly large proportion of the families in this country?where a slight increase or diminution of the annual earnings ,.-^.,1,1 hr. f7.lt -jIil-?? hv ovorv mpnibor.

Tlio Trniittforinitis: Power of n Ouzo. Our rcalcst selves are our Innermost selves. Not our bodies, but our spirits, i tire our true personality. There is wisdom in the suggestion that we ought not to say that we have souls, but rather that we are souls, and that wo have bodies. Yet while we have bodies, which for the time beinc; imprison our souls, our souls are dependent upon our bodies for the means of knowledge, and for helps to tho attainment of character. It is through our bodily senses that we cnmmunicati with the world about us. and it is through our bodily senses that all influences for good or for ill come in upon mil' ini:crnun.l hoiinr -111(1 fml ill shaping its very strueinre and destiny.

Women, most of them, do not or cannot or will not understsiid that "business is business'' that in these days of tele-graphs ami telephones and rapid postal delivery delay in responding to business letto is absolutely unpardonable.

Little Things. Every one has heard that little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land ; but that fact does not make a very great impression upon old or young. The ocean is mighty and the land is vast, and no one thinks of the size of the atoms of which this ponderous globe is composed, but of the enormous number of the atoms it contains. The lesson of the importance of little tilings is most important and most difficult to learn. The best way to learn it is by studying the absolute value of those little things, and not by dwelling upon the great things which are the result of them. For example: it is a very impressive fact that the whole income of all the people in this country is an average of almost exactly fifty cents a day. This sum includes the profits of the rich and the wages of the poor. It represeuts not only the value of what is consumed, but the i "umulation of wealth?what is left over each day as a fund to be drawn upon afterward. When we consider this fact we cannot help thinking of the importance of one cent. It is an apprecianie pari- 01 an iiuiojuc ?>i <>nv person for one (lay. And if it be also considered that a very large majority of the people receive less than the average, the proportion which one cent bears to the daily income is increased. Now this very impressive lesson may be at once forgotten in the astonishment with which one hears that the total yearly production of the country, which makes the cross annual income of all the people, is ten thousand million dollars. Thr> mind loves to dwell on great things rather than on little ones, ad id the proportion of one cent (o fhis vast sum seems so infinitely smr.ll that the importance of the penny diminishes prodigiously. There are no trifles in this life. Trade is carried on upon extremely narrow margins. A certain city of this country lost the almost exclusive trade in a great article of foreign production, and conse'inently a large part of its foreign commerce, because the state of which that city formed a part imposed what seemrul nil r>vr?nf?fl!ncvlv licrlit 111)011 aUC tion sales. A difference of one-sixteenth of a cent a pound in (ho price of cotton decides whether a factory *hall make a loss or a profit. On some of our great railroads the cost of moving one ton of freight one milf is figured down to the one-hundredth part of a cent. Examples of this sort niiirht he pivcn without owl. They all teach the <:iine lesson: lie careful ahont little fhiiurs. Take care of the pence. Choose your words, and utter no idlei or thoughtless ones. Ooycrn ench act hv conscience. Commit no little sins, and you will commit no great ones. ?S7V? Professional E<iquo<;c. An old fellow sat on a rail fence.

L The liohtwiCL oj Inp;ii(ivit. Was He Trntlifnl? Roger was deeply interested in liis arithmetic. He had begun working as soon as he came home, not even stopping to make a visit to the pantry. His pencil seemed to be running a race with the sewing machine, which kept up a busy hum. Suddenly something snapped, and the machine stopped. "There ! I've broke my needle, and it is the last one I have in the house. Roger can't you run to the store and get me one? I would like to finish this stitching to-day." "O, mamma, must you have it? I haven't a single minute to spare," said Roger. "I can work on something else if you haven't time to go," replied his mother. Roger's pencil worked on noisily for a few minutes, when some one knocked. "Is Roger home?" said an eager voice. "Oh, say! the bows and arrows have come. Can't vou go down and see tlieni ?" .Roger threw down his pencil, seized his hat, and was off. lie did not return until tea-time "Now for arithmetic," lie said, when the table was cleared and the lamp placed upon it with the daily paper. "Halloh ! here's the new magazine. I must read the continued story. I guess I will have time for that." But pomehow the story was very long, or else one story led on to another ; for when Koger at last tossed the book aside, lie found the evening almost gone. He glanced at the clock and rapidly counted the leaves. "Oil, dear! I can't do half as much as 1. planned," he said ; "I am so tired I can't think." The next day the teacher was surprised that lloger had done so little ; and when she asked tlie reason, ne said lie had done all he had time for. Was this truthful? Was it right? How to Make Yourself Agreeable. Very rarely, if ever, young persons acquire the ability to converse with ease and flucney. This implies, first of all, good ideas, dlearly and sensibly expressed. An empty mind never made a good talker; remember, "you cannot draw water out of an empty well." Next in importance is "Self posession is nine points in the law"? of good breeding. A good yrice is as essential to selfpossession as good ideas are essential to llneiit language. The voice, from infancy, should i?e carefully trained and developed ; a full, clear, flexible voice is one of the surest indications of good breeding; it falls like music on the ear, and while it pleases the listener, i, adds to the confidence of its possessor behe ever so timid. One may be witty without being popular; valuble without being agreeable; a great talker and yet a great bore. It is wise, then to note carefully the following suggestions: iJe sincere ; lie who habitually sneers at everything, will not only render himself disagreeable t<> others, but will soon cease to find pleasure in life. lie frank ; a frank, open countenance, and a clear, cheery laugh arc worth far more, even socially, than "pedantry in a still'cravat." ]5e amiable ; you may hido a vindictive nature under a polite exterior for a lime, as a cat masks its sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least provocation brings out one as quickly as the other; ill naturcd persons are always dislikn.'l. J'e sensible; society never lacks for fooN. Ifvoii want elbow-room, "go tip higher." J'>c cheerful; if you have a great trouble on your mind, you have no right to render other people miserable by your long face and dolorous tones. 11' you do you will be generally avoided. J>111 above all, be cordial: true cordiality unites all the qualities we have enumerated. Hot Water. The application of hot water to the surface for the relief of pain is an old and well-tried remedy. The medical profession now universally recognizes its value. At the commencement of a cold the mucous membrane of the nostrils often so swells as to prevent the passage of air through them, and the person is compelled to breathe through his mouth. The discomfort may be often removed by holding the feet in quite hot wiitcr. Many a severe headache can he relieved in the same way. Tains in the bowils may he mitigated or removed by applying to them rubber bags of hot water, or folds of woolen cloths \\ rung out from water as hot as can be borne. The same thing is true of face-aches, ear-aches, and of most aches and pains. The principle on which the relief depends is known as counter-irritant. The pains in each case are due to a congested state of the blood vessels. That is, the vessels are unduly distended with blood, and thus press upon and irritate the neighboring nerves. The hot water, by getting up an irritation at n distance, enlarges the capillaries in that part and thus turns the blood thither, relieving the pressure at the points of pain. The quantity of blood diverted, say from the head to the feet, by plunging the latter in hot water, may be seen in their cxeecding icdness, every one of their million capillaries being at lendeiI and crowded Willi uioou.
