Mino eye? were holden, that I could not sea How close before me stood, with out stretched hand, God's messenger, the angel sent to beckon me Away from all the cruel thorns, the miry clay, That vexed us as we toiled along the way, To follow his sweet guidance to the land Where none shall weep through all th' eternal day.. And knowing not how short the time would be, Dear heart, I fretted sorely as we went along; And made the way more sad and drear for thee, Nor ever sought to cheer thee with a song, O Love! e'en here in heaven there doth re main Regret for all I added to thy pain! ?Augusta D. Dunn. "THE MOTHER OF CRIMINALS." A Pauper Child Left Adrift?Hundreds of Vlelour Descendants. As an illustration of what unorganized and ^discriminate charity leads to, the case of Margaret, the Mother of Crimi nals, is quoted from an authority on the subject: "Margaret was a pauper child left adrift in one of the villages on the upper Hudson, about ninety years ago. There was no almshcuse in the place, and she was nmde the subject of outdoor relief, receiving occasionally food and clothing from {fce town officials, but was never educated or sheltered in a proper home. She became the mother of a large race of criminals and paupers which has cursed the county ever since. The county rec ords show 200 of her descendants who have been criminals. In one generation of her unhappy line there were twenty children, of whom seventeen lived to maturity. Nine served terms aggregat in fifty years in the state prison for high crimes, and all the others were frequent inmates of jails and almshouses. "It is said that, of the 628 descendants of this outcast girl, 200 committed crimes which brought them upon the court rec ords and most of the others were idots, drunkards, lunatics and paupers. The cost to the county of this race of crim inals and pauper^ is estimated as at least $100,000, taking no account of the dam age they inflicted upon property and the degradation they caused to othe.s."? Brooklyn Eagle. Sanitary Improvements In Naples. A correspondent gives in The Vienna Fremdenblatt a graphic account of the great improvements which are about to be commenced at Naples, and which will completely renovate the city from a i sanitary point of view. One large main thoroughfare will traverse the whole of the poor quarters, Porto, Fendino, Mer cato, and Vicaria, while regular cross streets will run at fixed intervals. Some * sites considered to be too unhealthy wiil not be allowed to be occupied. For the large crowd of artisans, laborers, and their families who will be dislodged by these changes new and healthy quarters. will_ be found injthc Arenaccia district, beyondlhe railway station. The entire drainage and 6ewer system in the lower part of the city will be re modeled, and will be made to discharge beyond the harbor. The dye-works and pimiinr manufactories, the operations of which are calculated to pollute the water, will be required to remove beyond the city boundary. The state is contribut ing 4,000,000 pound, sterling to carry Out these great works. When they have been finished the Chiaja will, indeed, ba one of the most delightful, as well as most wonderful, promenades in Europe. ?Exchange. Yet Not a Visitor Smiled. An American gives us an instance of his experience in Syria. He was ab jut to mount his mule amidBt a crowd of Oriental visitors, and wished to give them an exaggerated idea of American agility. He jumped a little too far, and overshot the mark, corning down on the other side like a diver, with his hands and nose in the mud, his feet caught in the saddle, and his coatskirts cleverly rolled over his head, to screen him from what he supposed was a laughing crowd. Yet not a soul smiled, not a sound was heard save a tender grunt of sympathy and demure offers of aid. Now a Turk in America, with baggy breeches and tur baned head, taking a leap over a mule in the streets of an American city, and getting stuck upside down, with hia pro boscis in a rut and his heels in the saddle, would be saluted with something more than a grunt of sympathy and demure offers of aid. We have more humor than dignity; the Turks more dignity than humor.?Youth's Companion. Improvement on the Alarm-Cloek. Alarm-clocks, as is well known, after a time lose their power over a sleeper and fail to awake him, since he becomes accustomed to the noise. To remedy this defect an ingenious inventor has added a cylinder, the base filled with com pressed air and the remaining space with cold water. A perforated tin tube is at tached, which is pointed in the direction needed. When the alarm bell goes off the pressure of air is relieved and the water in the cylinder is driven out through the perforated tube over the head of the sleeper, who is sure to be awakened by the shower-bath. ?Chicago Times. Training Dogs for Military Service. The German minister of war has given orders for a number of dogs to be trained with a view of testing the value of the services they might render to sentinels engaged keeping guard during the night.

A Cb&t Coaeernlag Superstitions. We were discussing superstitions tin other night. The mercurial De Vivo wai telling us about the Italians and theiz superstitions. Brignoli, the tenor, wa< a child of superstition. In Italy sheaf are always supposed to bring bad luck, and De Vivo says he has seen Brignoh run away like the wind from a flock oi sheep. On the other hand, he would walk clean into a herd of pigs and al most embrace them. Humpbacked peo pie are always supposed to be good luck, and Brignoli would rush across a street, and put his arms around a humpbacked man, it being necessary to touch ih< hump to get the full benefit of the good fortune. All the great singers nearly are superstitiousi Parepa-Rosa was ex cessively weak on this point, and al ways carried as an amulet a coral horn, which she immediately touched when ever she came across anything unlucky. Crosa-eyed people are always looked upon as unlucky; why, nobody knows. Most cross-eyed people that I know an rather lucky than otherwise. There are several very wide-spread superstitions, which take different shapes with differ ent people. Perhaps the most uni versal one is the thirteen one. In theatres for instance, on salary day when a man comes up to sign the pay-roll? that is, in the theatres where they pay sal aries?he always counts the numbs r ahead of him, and if he is the thirteenth he will not sign. If you go to a theatre'with a pass and you are the first man there they will not allow you to go in until some* body has gone in on a paid ticket,?Sao Francisco Chronicle "Undertones." When There Wore No Dentist?. "I often think," wrote Oliv? WendelJ Holmes, in his letter declining an invita tion to dine with the New York Odonto logical society, "of the forlorn condition of some of the great personages of history in the days when there were no dentists, or none who would be recognized as such by the dental artists of to-day. Think of poor King David, a worn-out man of 70, probably without teeth, and certainly without spectacles. Think of pooi George Washington, his teeth always ready to drop like, a portcullis, and cut a sentence in two. See him in Stewart*? admirable portrait, his thoughts evidently divided between the cares of empire and the maintenance of the status quo of his terrific dental arrangements. "Think of Walter Savage Lander's 'melancholy complaint that he d.'d not mind losing his intellectual faculties, but the loss of his teeth he felt a very great calamity. I venture to propose, then, the dental profession and their associa tion as its worthy representative. It has established and prolonged the reign of beauty; it has added to the charms oi social intercourse and lent perfection to the accents of eloquence; it has taken from old age its most unwelcome feature and has lengthened enjoyable human life far beyond the limit of years when the toothless and purblind patriarch might well exclaim, 'f have no pleasure in them.'"?Exchange. Xho Farmer and Hi* Blizzard Bope. . _ JNb one who-has ?96 boeia itt aHblizrard j can form the faintest conception of its fearful character. Why, do you knowj that every farmer in that country takes the precaution when the first snow ap pears to provide himself with a rope by which he guides him Reif from his house to his stock sheds or stable? He ties one end of the rope to the door-knob of his house and.then walks to his barn-door. At this point he ties a stick into the rope, and when the blizzard comes he simply takes what he thinks is the right direc tion and follows the rope until he reaches the stick. If he does not strilie the barn door when he reaches the stick he knows he has missed his bearings, and simply starts off in a circle holding the rop? taut until he reaches the barn. "When he gets ready to start back he hauls him? self in hand over hand until he reaches his door. H he looses his hold on the rope the chances are that he will nevei reach his door even though he might wonder within five feet of it.?Chicago Tribune Interview. The Guarded Language of Diplomacy. The Hon. E. B. Washburne is an ex pert diploniate. His experience as a for eign minister some years ago served him to good purpose in this respect.

Away up in the top story in a room littered up with screens and plaques and busts of Apollo Belvedere and Venus de Milo, and Venus with one arm gone, where a plaster of pans cast of Socrates lays over sideways against a chromo of Gen. Grant, between 9 and 10 the other evening were seated a class of thirteen young ladies and gentlemen with lap boards in front of them, on which were large ?heets of paper, and in their right hands they held crayons, or sticks of charcoal. A pendent gas-jet from the ceiling above shed a strong but sickly light on the pupils, who were arranged in a circle around a nude model. Stretched upon a 10x12 foot table, only eighteen inches from the floor, In a re clining position, lay a man hatless, coat less, shoeless, pantless, with nothing on save a short pair of bathing trunks. There was not a word spoken. The pupils had all green shades over their eyes. But the model? He was as mo tionless as a statue. He looked steadily at some object near the clock. Not a muscle twitched. In his right hand he held a long pole, on the top of which was a fringe. His left hand lay on a sort of pillow. It was no easy job. It looked easy, but not one in a thousand could keep so everlasting quiet. The model poses for oae hour, then rests fifteen 'minutes, then takes the same position for another hour. Yesterday the model had done extra duty. He had remained motion less for nine hours on the hard wooden table, with nothing but a coarse sheet between his bare flesh and the board. The model was a flnely-formed, athletic man, a laborer by profession, glad to earn a dollar for two hours posturing for the Art School life art class. There are a dozen others in the city who sit as models, though, strictly speaking, there are no professional models in the city. In answer to an inquiry concerning the puptts, Professor Noble replied: "They are each and all earnest people, who are studying for a purpose. Yonder is a man engaged at Strobridge's who earns $100 a week; others are already art teachers; others are learning to be fresco painters; there is one book-keeper who wants to.be a professional artist, another a decorator, and so on." "Can any one go in the live class?" "Oh, no. Our school is graded, not ac cording to the desire of the pupil, but to bis ability. When he applies here we place the pupil in the department that it belongs to. Those in the live class are all advanced pupils." "How do they work?" "First they locate the different parts of the body?block out the form, as it were ?secure the proper proportions; next they begin at the head, and finish it in detail. They do not begin at the head or any other part of the body and finish that first."-Cincinnati Enquirer. Peculiar Hysterical Mania In China.

The patient acquires the impression that his abdomen is in habited by some animal, often a rat, whose excursions cause violent pain. Un heard-of efforts are made to expel the in truder, and often the savings of a: whole family for a lifetime are wasted on bonzes, sorcerers, doctors, and other quacks in hope of obtaining relief for the Bufferer. It is reported that in many cases death occurs from suffocation in the course of a violent convulsiva par oxysm. The patient leads a double life, marked by the use of two voices of dif ferent timbres. As a rule his disposition alters in correspondence with the change of voice. Morally and mentally he is a different being in the two states. What ever occurs during the period betokened by the unnatural voice is totally forgot ten during the normal period.?Chicago Times. An Almost Inexhaustible Supply. Now that the northern forests have been greatly depleted attention is being directed southward where there is an al most inexhaustible supply of just such woods as have grown scarce in the north. While the area of white and black wal nut, especially the latter, is not large, there is a vast amount of yellow pine which has recently become so popular as an ornamental as well as a useful timber; and the sweet-gum, to which little atten tion has been directed until recently, will take a prominent place among the ornamental woods. It is very fine grained, and therefore capable of a high finish, and from the fact of its being plentiful and easily worked will be widely utilized.?Globe-Democrat. Through Mongolia and Thibet. Col.

Its name has be come a tower of strength, and has been well earned by the untiring devotion of President Harper and his associates. Its astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks which arc hest repelled by a frank and full exhibit of its greatly increasing line of business. Up to July 1,1883, this shows a gain of no less than 513 214,580 over that of the corresponping period last year. In June alone its mortuary receipts ex ceeded 5250,000, of which over 560,000 went into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress upon which the association justly prides itself. Tins reserve now amounts to ?425, 00?, and is employed for three purposes only?to pay death claims, if any should occur in excess of the American Eppericnce Mortality Tables; to make good any. poss ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account, and to be apportioned among those who have been members of the Association fif teen years, etc. as the first and second contingencies named are not likely to arise, the third object is the one upon which the fund is practically expended. It is full of other good points, among which may be mentioned the economical salary list?less than 550,000 for earning on the whole work of the vast institution?and payments to widews and orphans at the rate of over 52,000 cash eash day.?From the old and conservative New York Daily Journal of Commerce, July 10,1885.
