The exectttv&n of Robespierre, Jtily 29," 1784, terminated the Reign of Terror, & period fraught with greater political destruction than any of equal duration ; •which has existed since the beginning of the world. In no former period had 5 the efforts of the people so completely triumphed, or the higher orders been so thoroughly crushed by the lower. The throue had been overturned, the altar destroyed, the aristocracy leveled with the dust; the nobles were in exile, the clergy in captivity, the gentry in afflic­ tion. A merciless sword had waved over the estate, destroying alike the dignity of rank, the splendor of talent, and the graces of beauty. All that ex­ celled the laboring classes in situation, fortune, or acquirement, had been re­ moved. They had triumphed over their oppressors, seized their possessions and risen into their stations. And what was the consequence ? The establishment of a more crael and revolting tyranny than any which mankind had yet wit­ nessed, the destruction of all the chari­ ties and enjoyments of life, the dreadful spectacle of streams of blood flowing through every part of France. The earliest friends, the warmest advocates, the firmest supporters, of the people, were swept off indiscriminately with their bitterest enemies. In the unequal struggle, virtue and philanthropy sunk Tinder ambition and violence, and so­ ciety returned into a state of chaos, where all the elements of private or 'public happiness were scattered to the winds. The extent to which blood was shed in France during the melancholy period will hardly be credited by future ages. The republican, Prudhomme, whose prepossessions led him to anything rather than an exaggeration of the hor­ rors of the popular party, has given the following appalling account of the vic­ tims of the Revolution: Nobles 1,278 Noblewomen 750 Wives of laborers and artisans. 1,167 Beligieuaes 360'. Priests 1,185 Common persons, not noble 13,635 Guillotined by sentence of the revolutionary tribunals . -- 18,608 Woman who died from illness produced by excitement and grief Women killed in La Vendee.... Children Men slain in Vendee eied with an elastic pad. Now, as to walk barefoot would be out of the question, it is stxggested that we replace the hard boot heel with one made of elastic rubber. It would cost but a few cents a month to keep in repair, and would have the additional advantage of lessening the noise of hurrying feet, and preventing, to an extent, broken bones. --Indianapolis Journal.

It is in a special manner remarkable in the dismal catalogue, how large a pro­ portion of the victims of the Revolutions were persons in the middling and lower ranks of life. The priests and nobles guillotined are only 2,413, while the persons of plebeian origin exceed 13,000! The priests and nobles put in death at Nantes were only 2,160; while the in­ fants drowned and shot are 2,000, the women 764, and the artisans 5,309. • -file Desirability of Little Family Jan. A prominent lady, presiding over a Woman's convention, introducing her husband to the audience, said: "She " had listened to his voice for many years and had never tired of it." She hoped the listeners would not be. There is a good deal of the perfunctory compli­ mentary style of introducing iu that declaration, but in deference to the lady we must accept it. Still, one can hardly fail to be reminded of the comic oper- ' etta, "Never!"' "What, never!" "Well, hardly ever." The wife who declares she never tires of her Inisbaud's voice is giving herself the greater flattery. She is claiming, iu. fact, that he never had occasion to deny her re juests or dissent from her proposition*. Of all tiresome words often repeated the most weari­ some are "No," even if you put "my dear" to it; and "I don't think so." how­ ever quietly said. Yet there may be tiresomeness in too e< mtnnt acquies­ cence. To an old couple, who blasted that they had lived man and wile f »r fifty years and had never had a dispute, the listener replied, "What a doleful, faonotonous life you must had had!" - Some men, and women, too. aro so given to iteration that the hapless lis­ tener is ready to put In-fore the noun the wicked adjective with which one of the poets qualifies it. Now tho husband or the wife whose yokefellow is prone to prose may have a weary time of it. Yet as out of tho nettle danger the flower safety may be plucked, out of the vocal ding-dong some comfort may be had. It is something, anyway, for wife or hus­ band to find that she or he is regarded as worth talking to. If you are tired, don't seem so. Assume a virtue if you have it not, and give the speaker the pleasure of imagining that he or she is entertaining you. Don't bo or don't seem "tired" when talked to or talked ftt, and it may be that you yourself may be permitted to take the floor some­ times and orate in your turn, if you de- tire it. "The "pious fraud" may seem to in­ volve a contradiction in terms, but it often prevents a contradiction in fact. The interests and occupations of men and women are necessarily various. It is a pious frand for man and woman to pretend each to be interested in the other's words and thoughts. Very much of this conjugal fraud is repre­ sented in a wife's declaration that she never tires of her husband's voice, and ijn a husband's bland smite while he wishes his wife wotild permit the occur­ rence of a "flash of silence." The French have a lianpy proverb al>out in­ timate friends. They "learn to live With each other." There is no more in­ timate relation than that of husband and wife. And the progress of the two doc­ trines of liberty and equality has put the woman on a higher plane than of old, but no higher than nature intended her for. She is man's help meet, and it is always "meet" that the help should share all the responsibilities. The help­ meet is not a slave, but a help who can * originate as well as follow. In the many a id various interests which agi­ tate the world--political, social, indus­ trial, moral, and religious--the women have their say, and if husband and wife have "learned to live" with each other, what one says will never tire the other much, though the pious fraud may sometimes require to be practiced.-- Philadelphia Ledger. • \ Sprhigy Heels. , «,.A scientific sharp declares that the «6nstant jar of walking on city pavements can be largely prevented by imitating Where All Beggars Are Bid. Perhaps the most curious of all guides in an oriental town, and one which flourishes exceedingly in Cavalia, i3 the beggars' guide. Like other guides they have their own laws, their president and council; this council gives a diploma to those who wish to beg, and without per­ mission no one durst seek alms at the churches, mosques, or street doors; all the legitimate beggars would rise, up in arms against him, and his life would not be worth much. Friday is the rec­ ognized beggars' day, on which d%v they go ar.iund from door to door and get their wallets filled with bread and beans; these are divided by the com­ munity ; nothing is private property; it is against their creed. The beggars' brotherhood is rich; they ]K>ssess house property, the income of which is^pent for the benefit of the community, and once a year--on the day ef St. John the Charitable--they have a feast. Ther all go to church on this day; it would be difficult to recog­ nize the-tidily-dressed members of this honorable community in their best clothes; rags and tatters are only de rigueur for them when they are on their rounds. Beggary pays very well. 1 f a beggar's daughter marries she is dowered by the community, the presi­ dent sees to the betrothal, aud his con­ sent is essential. At Salonica Blind Demetrius is the president; he is easily recognized as he parades the streets, singing his everlasting wail: Day and night, day and night, I live in the dark, Wretch that I am! I hear the world, bat I can­ not see it. And though you know him to be a rich man, that his wife is well dressed, and that his daughter will receive a handsome dower, his plea for alms is almost irresistible. -- Cornhill J\fag>- azine. . Vast Improvement In Morals. We find people talking about polit­ ical corruption as though it were a new thing. The historians, on the contrary, can point to no period and no country in which politics were not corrupt. We lament the prevalence of vice; but the time was, and within a hundred years, too, when vice was fashionable and pop­ ular, not execrated. Of Char! es James Fox, one of the ablest men in England a hundred years af.i, it was truly remarked that he af­ fected nothing but vice, and that he had the ambition to surpass all men in that particular, as well as in others. He lost $700,000 in gambling before he was 21 years old, and lived in open and no­ torious vice. But this did not affect his standing in society in the least. It did not prevent his being the first man in the House of Commons, nor bar his en­ trance into the Cabinet, nor lose him the regard of the most virtuous of his contemporaries. The progress of decency, too,.has been most remarkable. Eighty years ago passages were printed in popular books and respectable newspapers, nay, read aloud i'i respectable families, the pub­ lication of which would now subject the publisher to prosecution. We are not sure that poor Richard's Almanac would now be permitted to be sold, so incredi­ bly indecent are some of its articles. But it was a household book of a hun­ dred years ago. We might continue the enumeration, and show that in every respect man is better, and better off, now than ever he was before. Read the memoirs, biog­ raphies, letters, newspajfters, almanacs, and popular books of the last century, if you would appreciate properly fcfie much calumniated Nineteenth.-- Xeiv York Ledger. A TERRIBLE TEOffCAL S*AKE. nature. le human heel is cov- The Drone and the Bee. One day, wliile we were in Walla Walla, W. T., eight or ten Indians came to town. Some of them had "cayuse" ponies to sell, but about half of them just came to town. They squatted down on the sidewalk and remained squatting. Sun, shade, cr rain made no difference to them: they just squatted. Whatever happened, like Riley's Lizetown humor­ ist, tliev " jos' chawed on." From early morn till dewy eve they squatted. While we watched them and I was try­ ing to explain V> Robbie the process by which the great and good Feniuiore Cooper evolved the " Wept-of-Wish-ton- Wi*h" and "The Last of the McKee- gans" out of these Umatillas, a China­ man came by. He bore upon his oriental shoulders a great basket of "washee." Bending under his burden lie smiled upon the warriors. Squatting ujxm the sidewalk, the warriors scowled upon the Chinaman. There they were the bee and the drone of the Pacific coast. 1 don't say thai all Indians are lazy ar.d all Chinese industrious; I know there are good, hard-working Indians, plenty of them; and I know there are lazy, trifling Chinese, because I have heard of butli classes from trust­ worthy persons. But so far as my per­ sonal knowledge is concerned, I must say that in six months' sojourning on the Pacific coast I haven't seen an In­ dian working or a Chinaman loafing. Wherever I have met him, during business hours and often long after other shops were closed, John was at work.--Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle. Had Its Dry Streaks. It is said that the best way to collect a library is to know each book ere it goes to its place on the shelf. The old gentleman in the following anecdote evidently intended to follow the rule to the letter. A man happened to go into a Dakota settler's house one day and noticed the first volume of a cyclopedia on the shelf, and casually suggested that it was a good thing to have in the house, or words to that effect. "Yes," the settler replied, '"it's handy. I only got the first book." "How does it happen that you haven't the other ?" " W'y I haint read that one yet, an' I ain't ready for 'nother. Ye see, I got it of an agent when I was livin' down in Iowa, an' 'bout six months after, round lie comes again, and knocked at tlws door, an' I opened it, an' says lie: 'Mister, here's the seoon' book of your cyclopedy.' " 'Git out!' says I; 'I haint got the first read yet!' au' made him go, too. W'y, jes' think of it. That was nigh on to ten year ago, an' I aint more'n two- thirds through this now, an' my wife is only jes' nicely started on the B's!' "It took a pile of brains to make this ere book, I've no doubt, but I tell ye it's my opinion, an' I don't mind say in' it, that I think it s got ita dry streaks like most everything -else."--Youth'* Companion. tHAR ACTE* UTTECT. OiM «f Klght VartotMM and mt 'CbMR r«- cuniilty. {Harper's Magazine.] There are eight varieties of him ('the fer de lance), the most common being the gray speckled with black, precisely the color that enables the monster to hide himself among the roots of the trees by simply coiling about them and concealing his triangular head. Some­ times he is a beautiful flower yellow; then he may never be distinguished from the bunch of bright bananas among which he hangs coiled: or he may be a dark yellow, or a yellowish brown, or the color of wine lees speck­ led with pink and black, or a perfect ash tint, or black with a yellow belly, or black with a rose belly--all hues of tropical mold, of old bark, of putrefy- j ing trees, of forest detritus. The iris of the eye is orange, with red flashes; at night it glows like incandescent char­ coal. And the fer de lance reigns ab­ solute king over the mountains and the ravines; he is lord of the forests and the solitudes by day, and by night he extends his domain over the public roads, the familiar paths, the parks, the pleasure resorts. People must remain at home after dark, unless they dwell in the city itself; if von happen to be out visiting after sunset, onlv a mile from town, your friends wilf caution you anxiously not to follow the l»oule- vard as you go back, and to keep as closely as ]>ossible to the very center of the path. Even in the brightest noon you cannot venture to enter the woods unescorted: you can not trust your eyes to detect danger; at any moment a seeming branch, a knot of lianas, a pink or gray root, a clump of pendant yellow fruit, may suddenly take life, writhe, swell, stretch, spring, strike. Then you will need aid indeed, and most quickly; for within the space of a few heart beats the stricken flesh chills, tumefies, softens, changes color, spots violaceously, and an icy coldness crawls through all the blood. If the physician or the pausenr arrives in time, and no artery or vein has been directly pierced, there is hope, but the danger is not passed when the life has been saved. Necrosis of the tissues begins; the flesh corrupts, tatters, tumbles from the bone; and the colors of its putrefaction are frightful mockeries of the hues of veg­ etable death, of forest decomposition, j the ghastly pinks and grays and yellows j of rotten trunks and roots melting back i int^ the thick, fetid clay that gave them birth. You moulder as they moulder; you crumble and dissolve as dissolves the substance of the balatas and the palms and the acomats; the Death of the Woods has seized upon von! and this pestilence that walketh in darkness, this destruction that wasteth at noon­ day, may not be exorcised. Each fe* male produces viviparously from forty to sixty young at a birth. The haunts of the creature are in many cases inac­ cessible, inexplorable: its multiplication is prodigious; it is only the surplus of its swarming that overpours into th^ cane-fields and makes the high-roads perilous after sunset., yet to destroy 300 or 40C thanatophidia on a single small plantation during the lapse of twelve months has not been uncommon. Tho introduction of the mangouste (the ichneumon) may, it is to be hoped, do much towards protecting the workers in the cane-fields and on the cocoa and cof­ fee plantations; but the mangouste's jiowers are limited and the ocean of death is illimitable. , Burdette on Steeplem&Qfir ' Here are some of the "infallible" re­ medies that the humorist Burdette has jotted down in his health book: Eat nothing within three hours before retiring. Eat a light but substantial luncheon just before going to bed. Nature ab­ hors a vacuum. (This is one of the prescriptions I like.) Read light literature before going ~ to bed. Read nothing after supper. Walk a mile in the open air just before bed­ time. Go to your room an hour before re­ tiring, and read until bedtime. Give up smoking altogether. If you are a smoker, a cigar just before retiring will soothe Nlml tranquilize your nerves, until you can't keep awake. Don't think about sleeping, you scare away slumber by wooing the drowsy god. Resolutely resolve, as you lie down, that you will go to sleep, and sleep will come naturally. Take a warm bath, and go from the tub into bed. Take a cold sponge bath, and jump into bed, and you'll be asleep before your head touches the pillow. Walk slowly about your room half an hour. Lie on your right side, with your cheek on your hand. Lie on your left side, with your head resting on your arm. J , Conut up to one thousand. (1 tried this inhuman bit of idiocy one night. I came very near falling asleep two or three times, but was startled wide awake by suddenly becoming concious that I had lost my ount, and had to begin over again. This cure kept me awake one whole night, when I was so sleepy that I could scarcely hold my eyes open.) Drink milk. (This, according to my experience, is the l»est prescription iii the lot. It will make you sleep better than all the bromides going, which are a delusion and a snare. But milk diet not oniv makes you sleep at night, but you want to sleep all the next day. It makes you intolerably stupid all the time. It is a very pleasant half-awake feeling, if you have nothing else to do but to enjoy falling asleep at any time, and in all manner of places, like Col- ville in "Indian Summer"--the best- told story of these times--but if you have any work to do, it is embarrassing. ) So, what is a sleepless man who wants to sleep, going to do? If lje eats a light luncheon, smokes a mild cigar, reads B tinner an hour, walks a mile in the air, comes back and walks another mile about his room, takes a sponge bath, cold, followed by a tub bath, warm, drinks a pint of milk, jumps into bed and lies on both sides, with his head on one arm and one hand, aud counts a thousand, it will be time to get up, anyhow, and he .can have a few nervous fits during the day. ^ It is a fact, however, that even men who think they suffer from -sleepless­ ness do not lie awake half so long as they imagine they do. When a man' says to me, "I did not close my eyes once all night," I If now ho lies. THEY used to pay the schoolmaster in "lumber currency" in Scarl>orough, Me., one hundred years ago, but this did not mean that they expected hiin to have a wooden head. In the record of the town meeting in March, 1830, it was voted by the townsmen "that there be a schoolmaster hired iu town this feter; that can -ead and write well." i [ Liteii'om the Management & tJw> • i • IGMSOU'B Family Ma®teine.] • • • TJ}e use of feet.is iaox^ characteristic than the feet themselves. Of course, there is some character even'in shape ; there is the -common and careless flat foot, and the neat? foot, and the vain foot, and the quick foot. In Herrick's old poem the whole portrait of a dainty white-slippered girl is suggested by the words: lake nifce Wneath her pettfcoa^" Her little feet went in and out. " But the distinctions of character ate not seen, really, in the feet themselves, but in what the owner does with them. Sometimes it is significant that their owner does not know what to do , with them. He is vulgarly, defiantly self- sufficient and despises ceremony, so when he smoi.es a cigar he puts his feet on the mantlepiece, out of the way. Or he is a countrv bumpkin, painfully self-' conscious, so lie stands on one foot and then on the other and shifts them about, perplexed what to do with them, as ill- bred folks, when they sit idle and so­ ciable, are perplexed by possessing a pair of hands. On the contrary the fop, whose feet are clad without spot or speck and regardless of expense, knows very well what to do with theui; they are part of the exhibition which is his constant care. In general, it is a sign of vanity to thrust forward habitually a neat foot when one is at rest. A con­ ceited man nurses a leg and admires a foot, which he twitches and twirls be­ neath his delighted eye, quite uncon­ sciously and in a different manner from the fop, for the vain man thinks of the effect produced upon other people, but the conceited man is satisfied with him­ self. without any regard to the ordinary mortals who may chance to be observ­ ing him. Very different is the generous mind of the pliilanthrophist, who thinks con­ stantly of the rest of the world, and not of himself. There is nothing cramped about any of his ideas or of his posses­ sions. lie forgets such small matters as fashion and details of appearance. Except on state occasions, he considers neatness to be a hindrance; everything about him is large, from his benevolent i schemes down to his well-worn shoes.. , ! His stand is not alert, but patient, well set on the ground; he is ready and ! steady; he waits to give what he can; ; and to do what he can, and while he thinks of weighty matters, personal de­ tails are forgotten. He may walk flat- footed in old shoes; insteps and heels are infinitely beneath.his consideration, so his foot is not the type that the dauc- ing master lielieves to be the one thing necessary for a gentleman ; but 'he has already flattened injustice under his feet, and the horfo** of the dancing master shall never reach his ears. This philanthropic man 1ms done a great deal to widen and smooth road;for crowds of ffcet of another ty^< Ou the roads he ha^. improved, the hobnailed-fyonts go more contentedly. They-(the "hobnails") are strong aud rather defiant: for instance, they. Iwve a defiant way of turning Up. They stiaul straight together, just as their , owneri as a class stand shoulder to shoulder. Their size and width are suggestive of possible bad lacks; bu$ their bulk and hard-worn bend axp: also suggestive of work done ; a&d'the, country could 'not thrive nor the community exist without the feet that wear hobnailed shoes.*; The firm foot is"the ordinary type 'in men. A firm walk is a sign of self-con­ trol as well as of power. When the shoe thicken so obstinately that the foot can not bend it, and when the walker does not care what nois'fe- he makes, the firmness and ]>ower are de­ veloping to a degree that may incon­ venience weaker or more sensitive folk. The weak foot is more common. The stand suggests a knock-kneed body a^tJL a mind not strong enough to make the l»est of life--one" might almost say alto­ gether knock-kneed character that is al­ ways stepping crooked, and going its way with uncertain gait. * To Treat Cholera Morlnis. A Massachusetts physician gives the following clear statement of the causes, nature, and treatment of this disease. He says . that it is an acute affection of the stom­ ach and l>owls, with severe vomiting and purging, and more or less pain and spasm. It is common in the climate during the hot season, and almost un­ known at other times. The attack may be preceded by pain­ less diarrhoea, or it may come on sud­ denly and without warning, with cramp­ like pains in the abdomen, and general muscular spasm. In these cases, the vomiting often precedes purging. The attack may occur at any hour of the day, but is more common during the afternoon aud latter part of the night. Thirst is usually urgent, and drinking increases both vomiting and purging. | The disease may run its course in a ! few hours, dr it may lost a week or more. [ unless relieved by treatment. Only j about three per ceut of the cases prove j directly fatal; but a larger proportion J are followed by acute dysentery, or ! other inflammatory affections of the j alimentary canal, with tedious convales- j cence, and sometimes permanent weak- \ ening of the organs involved. j Aside from the high temperature, the i the principal causes of cholera morbus j are errors in diet, resulting in irritation ! of the intestinal canal. Unripe or over- ! ripe fruits and vegetables, green ctt- j cumbers, lobster salad if not strictly ; fresh, putrid and tainted meat of all ; kinds, over-eating, and the contiuuance j of a winter diet during the summer \ months may be especially mentioned. . But the mime factor is heat, which pro- 1 duces a debilitating effect upon the sys- i tem, hastens the processes of decay, and j produces early decomposition in the I alimentary canal. ! The objects to be aimed at in treat- | ment are, first, to relieve pain and nerv- ' ous irritability, and secondly, to check I the vomiting and purging. In mild j cases, i>oth these objects may be accom- ! plished by menus of mustard ]>oultice-j j and hot fomentations externally, with ! such remedies as Jamaica ginger, lime ! water, lactopepline and bismuth, in- i ternally. But in all severe cases, where 1 nothing can be retained on the stomach, j or is.effectual if retained, there is no I remedy to be compared with livpoder- j mie injection of morphia and atropia-- which should never be administered ex­ cept by a competent physician. Some­ times an eighth of a grain of morphia upon the tongue will be retained and absorbed, and may suffice.--Congrega- t ionalist.
