W. railway. At Oslikofeli we were joined by n delegation of 'lawyers on their way to Mariiann, the capital, to at­ tend the Legislature, then in session. They were all men of more than usual intellect, and of exoeptiori.nl character. Two were ex-Judgt s of the Circuit Court, and one I had seen Chairtu an of the Young Men's Christian Association. The party found peats near together, and alter the naluUtioas were over and the news duly discusaed they began to look about for menus to while away the time. AiVr awhile some oue proposed a gao^e of cards. No sooner said than done. Two seats were turned apart so as to faoe each other, a cusliion improv­ ised for a trthle, and three of our law- ?ers, inoludiiig the Chairman of the oung Men's Christian Association, and a Chicago runner, on good terms with them, were soon deep in the mysteries •f a game of eucher. , I was surprised to see Christian gen- flemen and Judges of law and equity, leaders of sooieiy, make s of public sen- timent, lawgivers for a great btate, di­ rectors of public morals, supposed to be public exemplar* of all that is good and guides to the young, thus setting pub­ licly their seal of approval to a most dangerous and evil practice. To be sure they played for btakes no highei than the cigars for the party. But it seems to me that, in the eyes of all dis- ereet persons, this does not oliange the act nor lessen the dAnger of its example, but rather heightens it; ss from the lase to the greater is the invariable •ourse of crime. But I did not intend to moralize on paper, bat was about to •ay that while I was filled M.M such thoughts as these one of the party grew tired of the game, and our remaining Judge was invited to take his place. I saw the blood mount in an honest blnsh of disapproval to his mauly face, and he hesitated and drew back. But the game had become interesting and his excited companions urged lnui. " Come, Judge, take a hand," they cried, " we can't go on without. yoQ." So the Judge slowly rose from his seat, iuw-trdly condemning the act as I evidently saw, and stepping forward took a seat among the players and the game went on. I had noticed an old lady in a seat to the rear of th« players, who had got on board at Menasha, I believe. Cray and bent with ige, she had sut abashed, and, with eyes closed, s< enied asleep most of the time, nntil the train, stopping at Oshkosh, took on board the company of lawyers^ She th-^n underwent a change, and became greatly interested in the company, look ing from one to the other, as if she recognized them all, or was trying to recall their faces. When the game of cards was started she be- eame very restless, would hitch uneas­ ily about in her seat, take up the hem of her faded apron and nervously bite the threads. Once or twioe I thought she wiped her eyes under her " Shaker bon­ net," but oould not tell. She acted so strangely, I became more inter­ ested in* her than in the players, and watched her closely. She got up after a time and tottered forward, holding on to the seats as she passed. She brushed against Judge in pasting, but he had become interested in the came and did not notice her. Reaching the water tank at Inst, she drank a cup of water, and took a seat near the door, with her back to the player*. But she did not long remain there; rising again with difficulty, she tottered back toward her former seat, bat reaching the players she paused directly in front of them, and, now greatly excited, threw back her bonnet from her face and looked around the company. Her action at onoe ar- restel their attention, and pausing in their play they all looked up inquiiv ingly.. Gazing directly in the faoe of Judge • , she said in a tremulous voioe, "Do joo know me, Judge 7" " No, mother, I don't remember TOO,** •aid the Judge, pleasantly. " Where have we met "r "My nana m tailb." said she; "1 was with my poor boy three days, off »IK! on, in the oourt-room in Oshkosh, %rhen he was tried for--for--for robbing (somebody, and you are the same m in that sent him to prison for ten years, and he died there last June." All faces were now sobered, and the |>as$engers began to gather around and j tit and up, all over the car, to listen and i &ee what was g°>njS on. She did not ' give the Judge timff to answer her, but, i becoming more and more excited, she went 011 : " He was a good boy, if you did send him to jail. He helped as i ale&r the f&tin, and when father was | took sick and died he done all the work, ; and we was getting along right smart, • till he took to going to town and got to ! playing keards and drinking, and then, somehow, he didn't like to work after that, but used to stay out often till , mornin', and he'd sleep so late, and I. couldn't wako him when I knowed he'd j been out so late tbe night afore. And j then the farm kinder run down, and j then we lost the team ; (me of them j got killed when he'd bin to town | one awful cold night. He stayed late, i and I suppose they had got cold standin' out, and got skeered and broke loose, and run most home, but run agin ttie fence and a stake run into one of 'em, and when we found it the next mornin' it was dead, and the other was stainlin' under the Bhed. An' so after awhile he coaxed me to let him sell the farm and buy a house and lot in the village, and he'd work at carpenter work. Ajad so I did, as we couldn't do nothin' on tbe farm. But he grew worse than ever, and after awlyle he couldn't get any work, and wouldn't do anything but gamble and drink all the time. I used to do everything I oould to get him to quit and be a good, industrious boy again, but he used to get mad after awnile, and once he struck me, and then in tlie morning I found that he had ta­ ken what little money there was luft of the farm, and had run off, After that I got aiong as well as I conld, cleanin' house for folks, and washin', but I didn't hear nothing of him for four or five years; but whau he got arrested and was took Hp to Oshkosh for trial, he writ to me." By this time there was noi a dry eye in the ear, and the cards had disap-, peared. The old lady herself was weep­ ing silently and speaking in snatches. But, recovering herself, she went on : "But what conld I do? I sold the house and lot to get money to hire a lawyer, and I believe he is here some­ where," looking around. *'Oh, yes, there lie is, Mr. ," pointing to Law­ yer , who had not taken part in the play. '*And this is the man, I am sure, who argued n«»iu him," pointing to Mr. , the District Attorney. "And you Judge , sent him to prison for ten years ; s'poue it was right, for the poor DO/told me that he realJy did rob the bank, but he must have been drunk, for they had all be«.n playing keards most all night and drinking. But, oh ! dear, it seems to be kinder as though if he hadn't got to playing keards he migbt a been alive yet. Bu* when I used to tell him it #as wrong' and bad to play, he used to say, "Why, mother, everybody plays now. I never bet only for the candy, or the cigars, or something like that. ' And when we heard that the young folks played keards down to Mr. Culver's donation party, and Squire Bong was goin' to get a billiard table for his young folks to play on at home, I couldn't do nothing at all with him. We used to think it awful to do that way when I was young, but it jist seems to me as if everybody nowadays was goin' wrong into some­ thing or ether. But maybe it isn't right for me to talk to you, Judge, in this way, but it jist seemed to me as if the very sight of those keards would kill me, Judge; I thought if yon only knew how I felt, you would not play on so ; and then to think, right here before all theise young folks ! Maybe, Judge, you don't know how younger folks, especially boys, look up to such as you ; and then I can't help thinking that, mayl>e that if them that ought to know better than to do so, and them as are higher larnt, and all that wouldn't set sioh examples, my poor Tom would be alive and caring for his poor old mother; but now there ain't any of my family left but me and my poor little gran'chile. my dead darter's little girl, and we are going to stop with my brother in Illinoy." % Ton gue of man or angel never preached a more eloquent sermon than that gray, withered old lady, trembling with old age, excitement and fear that she was doing wrong. I oan't recall half she said, as she, poor, lone, beggared widow, stood beforr those noble-looking men, and pleaded the cause of the rising generation. ~ The- look they bore~ as she poured forth her sorrowful tale wits indescriba­ ble. To say that they looked like crimi­ nals at the bar, would be a faint descrip­ tion. I can imagine how they felt. The old lady tottered to her seat, and, taking her little grand child in her lap, hid her face ou her neck. The little one stroked her gray hair with one hand and said : " Don't cry, ganma, don't cry, granma." Eyes unused to weeping were red for many a mile on thnt jour­ ney. ADd I can hardly believe that one who witnessed that scene ever touched a card again. It is but just to say that when the passengers came to themselves ! they generously responded to the Judge, | who, hat in hand, silently passed through her lithe audience.--Presby­ terian Banner. FACTS FOM Tins CUBfOVa. A Queer Invention. A detective machine has been invented in France, but it is hardly likely to Ufke the place of the hnmau kiud in general "use. It is simply a camera, so arranged that when a suspicious person enters a ' bank or other room, a clerk touches a ; little button. Presently, a ooucenled : samera is brought into play, the sensi- j tive plate is exposed, and in au instant i the man's photograph is taken. Or, again, the head of the house leaves his business and confides it to his clerk. Some of the clerks go to sleep, or smoke ! cigars, or skylark, or do other things not ! exactly in keeping with tiieir calling, ! when there comes in a series of plates, ; worked by clock-work, aud every action 1 of the clerks daring a series of hours is | recorded. There might be even a pleas- i ing, though compromising use of this mechanical camera. With such an in­ strument all the handsomest women at a aoiree might be photogra|K>d without their knowledge, and galleries of beau­ ties be put up at any one's command.

Suprostwo the earth to havo been first in a molten state, the time which must have elapsed in passing from a liquid to a solid state is fixed at 350,000,000 of years, A VETERAW watchmaker at Vourvy, Switzerland, claims to have invented a process by which watehi s will run for years without winding up. A sealed box containing two watches intrusted to the municipal authorities on the 19t.h of January, 1879. has jubt been opened, and the watches were found to be go- hig. Tint panther in India, when, onoe he has established a character fbr cannibal­ ism, is far more fell and dangerous than a man-eating tiger. He is more fero­ cious and more courageous when at­ tacked. He never eats the bodies of h's victims, but merely laps the bKx>d from the throat. So says Capt. Forsyth, of the Bengal Staff Corps. IN a few hours a pitcher of water will absorb all the respired gases in the room, the air of which will have become much purer, but the water utterly filthy. The colder the water is the greater the capacity to contain these gases. At or­ dinary temperature a pail of water will absorb a pint of carbonic acid gas and several pints of ammonia. The capac­ ity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to the temperature of ice. Hence water kept in a room awhile is unfit for use. Impure water is more injurious than impure air. A ROYAL Bengal tiger has been seen inTiis native jungles in hot flight from a pack of wild-dogs. These animals are small and make no noise, but they are fierce and determined. When onoe a pack of them attack an animal, that an­ imal's doom is sealed; they never leave it. Thev will dog their prey for days if need be, and run it down ex­ hausted, and, if it turns to fight, they go in fearlessly and by their numbers win. All beasts of the forest dread the wild- dog, from which there is no escape by speed, artifice or battle. THE speed of birds offers great variety. When the flight does not exceed thirty miles au hour they are considered slow flyers. The speed of the swallow is com­ puted at ninety miles, the hawk 150 miles, while that of the swift is said to attain the astounding velocity of 180 miles an hour. The endurance displayed by birds upon the wing it wonderful, and many instances are recorded which almost exceed belief. In the time of Henry IV. of France there was a falcon which became famous iu Europe by fly­ ing from Foutainobleau to Malta, 1,350 miles in twenty-four hours. But with­ out going so far back we may on a sum­ mer's afternoon watch a flock of swal­ lows for an hour without detecting an interval of rest. Their skimming, busy, rapid wings never seem to tire. What strength of flight, too, must be required ill tSuNyi mHoUm-I uiigi'MMUIAH u'nifin rvrinpr the winter water fowl across the North ' sea to England from Scandinavia, and the summer visitors, nightingales and swallows, from Southern Europe or Af­ rica even. Long feats of flight are per­ formed by some others, such as the trig- ate or man-of-war bird, which is some­ times found hunting for food in the At­ lantic more than 1,000 miles from shore. Yet it never seems to tire or to seek rest either on the surfaoe of the sea or in tha rigging of a ship, and it is not known to visit the. land except at tha return of tha breeding season. , - What Electricity Is to Do far Us. A sanguine and imaginative writer pre­ dicts almi st incredible marvels which electricity is expected to accomplish be­ fore the end of the twentieth century. Chops and steaks will be oooked by electric sparks. The fruits of the earth will be multiplied behind colored glass. Fruits aud vegetables will be grown all the year round, winter and summer, day aad night. We now take our air and water raw, and throngh these two elements come all the disorders and con- tagionS which alfiiot humanity. In the future water will be distilled and purified from all germs of disease, while air, cleared of all noxious qualities, will be admitted to glass-covered streets and dwellings. Houses and places of busi­ ness will be situated in immense inclosed edifices, the air which will be wholesome and delightful to the sense of smell, summer and winter will be abolished, as the temperature can bo controlled by artificial means, and all parts of the globe will become equally inhabitable. Day will have 110 attractions over night, for tbe artificial lights will be more pleasing than the sun. The air will be navigated, and the fcreat cities be situated on beautiful hilltops. With the great motors shortly to be disoovered, huge mountains can lie levelled, while the ice packs around the two poles can be liquefied aud made navigable. Wild as this seems, it is, as the New York Hour suggests, scarcely more so than the present marvels of gas and water, telegraphs and ocean cables would have been to an Englishman of the time of Elizabeth.

When at the age of twenty-one, the son graduated at Harvard College, his education was his own capital for his start in life. Ajidrew Jackson was born in a log hut in extreme poverty. He grew up in the woods of North Cvoliua, living in tha home of a relative, where his mother worked to support herself and hef three children. James K. Polk, the eleventh President, spent his early years on a new farm in the wilderness of North Carolina. His father placed him in a store, with the intention that he should enter mer­ cantile life : but his dislike for business was so great that, at the age of eighteen, he was sent to the Murfreesborough Academy to fit for collcge. * , . , . ,, , Millard Fillmoi 3 was the son of a New and,to;each ^ P1'^ «P me was an hum- tables, and chairs.

But five years latter he entered a law oflioe, and at the age of twenty-three he was admit­ ted to the bar. James Buchanan was born in a small town of the Alleghany Mountains. His father was poor, and by his own ax built his home in the wilderness. When James was eight years old he was placed at school, and six years latter entered Dickinson College where he graduated with the highest honors.

Nutmegs in the quantity of two or three drachms have been known to pro­ duce both stupor and delirium; and dangerous and fatal consequences are said to have followed its free use in Iuda. Mace, which is the outside covering of the nutmeg, possesses essentially th« same properties. Dying Oat. Slowly and surely the class of people known as the Shakers are declining in numbers. The members make no con­ cealment of this fact. The older breth­ ren speak hopefully of the future, having faith that a revival will come and add largely to their strength, but the younger ones are in great doubt about their church's surviving the philosophic and material tend<wi<w of the age. " Cto leaders are old men," said one of them; V MY experience makes mo an enemy alike to premature marriage and to dis­ tant engagements. The first udds to our individual eares the responsibility for the beloved and helpless pledges of our affections, and the lost are liable to the most cruel disappointments.

A New York preacher, in a sermon tc young ladies, repeated a few of the pungent things that had been said about their sex. One writer he quoted as the author of tly> disrespectful proverb: " There were only two good women. One is dead and the other was nevei found." The Chinese say that woman'e tongue is her sword, and she never lets it rest. Dr. Payson wrote: "A wedded man is like a bird with a broken wing. He may flutter, but he never can fly." Among the Amazauians candidates for nuptial honors had their hands tied in a paper bag tilled with fire ants. If they survived the painful ordeal tbey were considered fitted for the trials of matri­ mony. The following are some of the pertinent similes employed: " Woman is like the snail because she loves her own house best; and she is unlike the snail, who carries all he possesses upon his back. She is like an echo, which speaks when spoken to, and unlike the echo, which always has the last word. She is like the town clock, which per­ forms its work regularly, and on time, and unlike it because her voice is not heard all over the city."

Children who have a little money ought to practice saving something. Many boys and girls of to-day hardly know a higher ua*s for any money that comes into their hands than spending il for some foolish tiling as quickly &< po»*- sible. T8 Bnch % lesson in self-denial and economy is very important. As gc the boy s pennies and dimes, so, very likely, will go the man's dollars and hun­ dreds by aud by. Without having the spirit of a miser, the person accus'omed to save has more pleasure in laying up than a spendthrift ever knows. The way to keep money is to earn il fairly and honestly. Money ao obtained is pretty certain to a'.ii.le with its pos­ sessor. But money that is inherit--d, or that in any way comes without a fair and just equivalent, is almost certain to gc as it came. The young mau who begins by saving a few dollars a month and thriftily increases his store--svery coin being a representative of good," solid work, honestly aud manfully done-- stands a better chance to spend th* last half of his life in affluence and comfort, than he who, iu his haste to became rich, obtains money by dashing specula­ tions, or the devious means whi h abound in the foggy region lying be­ tween fair dealing and actual fraud. Among the wisest and most thrifty men of wealth, the current proverb is, money goes as it comes. Let the young make a note of this, and see that their money comes fairly, that it may long abide with them.--Exchange.
