You see, I am never at ease about the children, and Mr. Klton conics down only once a week.” "Your brother seems to enjoy the sea shore very much,” said Mrs. Dorsey rather i roguishly. “I think 1 never saw Mr. Se\ 111c in better spirits.” “Oil, that is because ML* Chaloner is here," said the matron, curving her lip a little superciliously. “lie is so absurdly infatuated about .Juliet Chalonert” “1 think she is a lovely girl," said Mrs. Dorsey, quietly wondering within herself why it was that sisters were never willing tolioknow ledge the merits of their brothers' fiancee*. “Lovely? O, yes, I suppose she is love ly enough, only I never did fancy that blue-eyed, tlaxen-haired style of beauty.” “Mr. Seville does, it seems.” “My dear, didn't 1 tell you that Clarence was completely infatuated? I don't sup pose he would be willing to own that she hail a fault in the world! i did talk to him seriously, one time, about those coquetish little airs and graces of hers, but I saw at once that 1 might as well have talked to tin* wind.

I've no patience witli such a miserably balanced character.” Mi-**, uorsey smiled. “Perhaps it is only a little hit of girlish affectation.' "Nu, it is not she actually is amid, fioodnes-, knows how Clarence will ever go through life with such a silly little coward as Juliet Chaloner. i take every opportu nity of showing my disapproval of the en gagement. but of course my thoughts and lecliugs go tor nothing.” i'hcrc she comes now, with vour child ren dinging around her.” -uiif Mrs. Dor sey, glancing around the path that led to the sea beach. "They certainly appear to be very fond of iter.” Yes, returned Mr. Elton, indifferently, "she has a way of winning children's af fections, 1 believe.11 As Juliet Chaloner came tip the broad path, her slight figure darkly outlined against the fiery gold of the sunset, seemed something ethcrial and intangible to Mrs. Dorsey. She was slight and small, w ith transparent white roses floating around her, and long loose curls of pe.lid gold, while the faint tinge \>i rose in her per fectly rounded checks, and the scarlet ripe ness of her lips, supplied the deficiency of color that would otherwise have been per ceptible. But the eyes, perhaps, were the most noticeable feature of her beauty. Large and blue with a sort of inward light sparkling through their irises, that melted sometimes into velvety blackness, there was an expression in them that was too subtle and charming lor description. You felt it, yet you could not deiiue its eu chantmeut. One little one clung to her skirts, one held her hand, and two or three, skipped along in front of her as site neared the piazza- Yes. Juliet had the gift of charm ing children in a rare degree, and Mrs. Elton’s small offspring considered Miss Chaloner little short oi the white-winged leirfections they read about in their Sun day-school books. "Mamma: mamma: pipcu out tittle Ilubeit, a ehuliby-eheekud rogue of seven summers, “Miss Chaloner lias promised to go to Blvdcn’s Point with ns to-morrow— whore the little twisted shells grow, you know “And, mamma!" interrupted Rosa, all llushed and breathless, “you’ll go with us, won’t you? for Miss Chaloner says you can find those starfish for your aquarium." r‘l n't talk so loud, children,” said Mrs. Elton pettishly. “Dear me, how dreadfully sunburned you all are. Do go in and gel on something lit to be seer. I’m afraid you’ve found them very noisy and trouble some, Miss Chaloner.” “Not at all,” said Juliet, pleasantly. "I’m very fond of children, you know. And 1 really think, Mrs. Elton, you would find it a very pleasant walk to Blvden's Point.” “Thank you," said the matron, stiffly. “It would be altogether too far." “Then, nirnmin,” urged Harry Elton, a manly boy of fourteen, “let me row you and Rosa and Hultert in the boat, and Miss Chaloner will walk with the others.” “I'll think of it," said Mrs. Elton "only if Miss Chaloner should eh tnee to encounter a spider or a field mouse by the road. 1 won't answer for the consequences." Juliet laughed, but tailored, neverthe-1 less: Iter constitutional nervousness was rather a sensitive point in her character. “1 was telling Clarence of your dainty little hysterics,” went on Mr. Elton, with polite malice. “If there's anyth ng Clar ence respects, it is common sense and courage." Juliet went into the house without re plying, but the heightened spot of color either cheek showed that the skillfull}' di-1 reeted arrow had reached the mark. •Does Clarenze bclive 1 am a coward i>r does he belie'e me guilty of atfecta-, tion she thought, with tears hanging on her eye-lashes like liquid diamonds. “Oh. what have I over done, that Mrs. Klton I should speak so unkindly to me? If t’lar- enee were only here but he will eome to- I morrow night.” And the ‘■miles eame hack to Juliet's lip «s she repeated to herself in alow, loving whisper: “He will come to-morrov? night. “Mamma,■’ said Harry, bluntly, “why did you speak to Miss ('haloner so spite fully “Little hoys shouldn’t ask questions said Mrs. Klton, sharply, "(jo in anil brush your hair for tea!” “So you have really concluded to go Lo Blyden’s Point with us?” said Juliet, brightly, as she met Mrs. Elton at the din ner-table the next dav. “Ye«, to please the children, they are so importunate.” said Mrs. Elton with an air of indifference, “And Miss ('haloner,” interposed Harry, “l am to row mamma and the little ones, while you walk across the sands, with Bes sie and Helen, and meet us at five o'clock.” “Then we must start a little in advance of your boating party,” said Juliet. “I suppose so,” said Harry. “Oh, mamma, won't it he jolly?” “Harry sighed Mrs. Klton, reproving ly, “when will you learn a little elegance in your language flow brightly the golden afternoon slipped away upon the smooth, velvet sands of Blyden's Point! Even Mrs. Elton forgot to he spiteful, lint reveled in the beauty of the far off rocks and sapphire firmament, and owned to herself that “really, Juliet ('haloner was very charm ing "See, Miss ('haloner!" cried Bessie, ecstatically dancing about on her tiptoes, “the water is creeping all over my shells!” “Don’t you see the tide is coming up?” said Harry eagerly. Stand up on that high point, and take your shawls away quick, unless you want to lose them.” “But, Miss Chalouer,” said Helen, wist fully, "the water is so high over that nar row neck of land where we crossed, by the old light-house how shall we get hack again Juliet laid down the branch of seaweed she had been admiring with Mrs. Klton, and looked off towards the rising tide, with a cheek suddenly blanching to a dead whiteness. “Miss (.'haloner, what is the matter?" cried Mrs. Klton. catching at her shawl. “\Ye are cut off from the main land," sa d Juliet, in a low clear voice. “The tide is coming up, and half an hour from now this point will lie submerged. Oh, why did we not think of that The boat, Harry, quick!” “But, -Miss (.'haloner,"pleaded thought ful Bessie, “if we were to run—the water is surely not higher than our waists.” “My dear, the neck of land is half a mile away, and the tide is rising at a fear ful rate; i. would only be a useless risk ot our lives to make the attempt. Get into boat, Mrs. Elton.” .Mamma mamma: waiieu me ciuhi ren in chorus, while Mr. Elton, pale, trembling, ami incapable of effort, sat on the rock. ‘•1 cannot move she stammered. *‘1 think I am going to faint!” But even while the words were on her lips Juliet’s arm encircled he- waist, and Juliet’s strength guided her to the little boat that lay rocking on the wave, with Harry at the oars, it was very small, containing but two seats, and when Mrs. Elton and her tive children were ensconced thrercin, every nook, even to the stem and helm, was occupied. "There is no room for Miss Chaloner ejaculated Harry, in blank dismay. "Mamma, Miss Chaloner is not in the boat!” Mrs. Elton looked feebly around. "(live me liosa—let me hold Kosa in my lap,” she faltered, scarcely knowing what she said. But Juliet unloosed the loop of the rope that fastened the boat to a projecting point id rock, and tiling it out upon the waves. “The boat is overloaded already,” she said, in a strangely calm voice. “Push oil', Harry, and row as fast as you can it grows late, and you are a long distance lrorn home." The generous heart of the hoy rose up with a great choking throb. "Miss Chaloner! and leave you here to perish? Never!" "Listen to me, llarry,” she said, hur riedly. “How home, as fast as you can. Two hours will take you there, and then —then you can send the boat back to me.” And as the words trembled on her tongue. Juliet Chaloner glanced over her shoulder at the white crested fringes of loam slowly creeping up the sands, and knew that in two hours from that time it would be one wild tossing! Vet she smiled, ami fluttered her white pocket handkerchief to them, as the heavi Iv freighted boat glided slowly away, and spoke cheering words to the brave little oarsman, even though the chill of death lav at her heart. Slowly the black outline ot tile boat laded into indistinctness, glow ing le'S and less; and when it was hid from view by the projecting of the coast, ilie bitter loneliness ot hcrposltion came to Juliet Chaloner in- all its overwbelminw force. ukc a groat golden orn, the sun hung above the sea, while the blue, cloudless sky smiled overhead. Nature was lull of sott. serene repose, and yet Juliet Chaloner stood with clasped hands and sileut endur ance, waiting for the death which was momentarily drawing nearer—the stern, relentless death whose ho rors had never seemed as ghastly as now 1 She thought how the blue tides wou’d sparkle over her grave—she thought how perchance her dead corpse would float on the waves, the golden hair all wet and dark—and a cold shiver came over her whole frame. “And he will be at home to-nii't*." she murmured. “My God! m.v tiod! surely this is the 1 itterness rf death!” Tm> thunder of wing conclusion. A genuine prohibitory law is hard to get and hard to Keep. If it actually shuts up the tippling hotises, then the trinity of avarice, appe tite, and fashion are arrayed against it with venomous vehemence. If it is a I dead letter, then the law is hardly worth i the paper it is printed ou. And a law for suppressing the liquor-trallie always will be a dead letter in every c ommunity where there is not a powerful and active public sentiment against rum-selling. Such “suppression” of grog-selling as Boston has seen for the last three months is enough to make the Devil laugh. There are probably towns in Illinois, too, in which a prohibitory law would be trampled into the mire. When then Shall all attempts to close the nun-dens by statute he abandoned? No! But let the law be so framed that every city or townsh*p which votes to pro tect itself from the ram-den shall he so protected. And let those towns which vote to legalfee the tippling-huuse, have jt, until themiserses it brings have opened the eyes and changed the sentiments of that communi y. Voting is a trust; and they who exercise it, must take the con sequences. The citizens of Augusta ip Hancock Co., Illinois, voted last have no liquor sold as a beyjs*#^ within their borders. Aocojdi**?1..'', when I visit ed Augusta la£t-'rflfinicr, I found no dram shop iu thrifty village. But the t>W/ens of that town never would have voted as they did if they had not been convinced by argument, that rum-selling wns a crime and rum-drinking a folly. The moment that Augusta gives up moral suasion and relaxes her ellorts to keep her public sentiment sound, she will have the rutu-truilie back upon her and her young meu will be reeling in the streets. "E*ernal vigilance" is the price of such blessed liberty as that favored town cp I joys. There are others like it. blow, good friends, 1 tun heartily in 1 n•••■ t. r* gl favor of local prohibition. I believe that It, is the only method of applying legisla tion to the liquor-traffic which is at present feasible and successful. 1 would advocate a law which should require the suppression, of tlppliug-hoHses in every town or city which voted to protect itself against them. v lliis is pure Christian democracy. This would offer a premium to each community- j to become temperate. Of course tils spa. tcui could only bo snceessfa) where the most determined.,effortswere wade hytbau. puljiit, tlie press, by ocieties and-pnhlie meetings to array the majority of thevoters against the rum-traffic, lu this gioriaas work of moral suaden, the Christian church should take the lead. To aid hi it I would welcome all such auxiliaries m the Sons of Temperance, the Templars, the Hands of Hope, and all sorts nods.ripaa of honest teetotalers. 1 Would alao mag nify the total abstinence pledge for it is at unci* a protection, a bond of union, and a protest against the drinking customs. Dow shall local prohibition be gta I answer, by petitions for it. 'If the state legislature will not graht it, then agitate for the election of legislators who wiH enact the law. If neither party will nem iuate temperance men for (he legislature, then our friends must select candidates of their own aud vote for them, A third party, based on a single moral issne, is a prodigiously difficult tiling to organize into victory; but if the needed reform cannot be got in any other way, then the third party must he tried. One thing 1 do pro test against, and that is the foolery of or ganizing parties on paper and by mere “resolutions" without a thoroagh ednea tion of the public mind, and a thorough canvass in the most manly and honorable style. A political campaign which shall succeed in “crushing oat" the dram shop is no boy's play. It requires great wis dom, great courage, great unity, and not only grace, but grit. a. As prohibition of the liquor traffic is a question lor state legisla* ion t believe that the best methods for carrying it, should be left to the friends of total absti nence in each otate. 1 cannot yet see the wisdom and expediency of a National Prohibition party. In those localities where third parties are demanded, and can be made successful, let them be er* ga.lzed. Parties grow t they are not man-, ufactured to order. We must not deceive ourselves by false comparisons between the conflict with the liquor-traffic and the conflict with slavery. Tho institution of chattel slavery existed only in iilte.n states; and in those states every voter was in favor of it. Outside of those suites a majority of the people warts opposed to it. But even this outside ina- jority did not overthrow slavery by the ballot. It fell by the ballet; and if the liquor-dealers appealed insanely to arms, we should serve them as we served the slave-holders. There is no parallel be tween the two conflicts. 4. Our warfare against intemperance is largely political; because the permis sion or the prohibition of the rum-traffic is u question of legislation. But temperance is still more largely a question of dietetics and of morals. Alcoholic stimulants am popular. Millions believe them to be useful! We must correct this fatal error by argument; and prove that alebohol is a poisou. Millions believe that whiskey and wise strengthen and warm and nour ish the human Inline. We must explode this error. Thousands of Christians have wine-bottles in their houses A faithful pulpit—u>ing Paul's teachings for “ball aud cartridge"—must smash those decati t uts The children and youth are in dan ger of falling into the destructh'c drinking customs. We must push the reform in the Sabbath school. Drunkenness is a sin against God; it opens hell! lsst us bring against it the combined power of preach ing,’ prayer, the press and personal ex ample.

Snow of this city, died very suddenly on Wednesday last of stoppage of the bowels. II is parents sere in Boston, having left him with his grandfather in Gardiner, a few days previous to his death. He was taken violently sick on Tuesday, ami his parents received on Wednes day a telegram conveying the intelligence of his death. The funeral will take ,place this afternoon at Mr. Snow’s residence in this city. At the present session of the County Com missioners, Oeorge W. Snosv having resigned the office of Superintendent of County Build ings, on account of poor health. Hummer C. Knight of Pittston. was appointed in his place, to hold his office during the pleasure of the Commissioners. It was also ordered that the County Treasurer effect an insurance on the County buildings— •10,000 on the court house and $10,000 on the jail; and that a sum of money sufficient for making such insurance be appropriated. Rev. Henry S. Burrage was ordained as pastor of the Baptist church in Watcrville, on Thursday last. The exercises were particu larly interesting and were enjoyed by a large congregation. The opening prayer was by Rev. A. H. Crane of llallowcll; sermon by Rev. T. 1). Anderson U. of New York; prayer of ordination by Rev. Adam Wilson. 1). I)., of Watcrville; hand of fellowship by Rev.

Mr. Ladd (Methodist), and the closing prayer offered by Rev. Mr. Sable (Congregationallsl). Mr. Burrage, the new pastor, is a young man of fine culture, and will be an acquisition to the society at Watcrville. Bnlldlax Id the City the pant year. While there has been no particular demon stration in the building line in this city the past year that would be likely to nttraci special uttoqfion. several building enferpri-et have been commenced and quietly pushed forward, and the capacity of the city in regard to dwellings for the people thereby increased. Wc have from lime to time made a note 01 the extensive operations of the Messrs. Sprague at the Kennebec dam. where althougl the principal work has been beneath the sur face of the earth in clearing away rubbish, making excavations, laving foundations am. building raceways, the walls of a large factory have commenced to ri*c, which will la ilni-hed in the spring and filled w.lli the most improved machinery. Workshops have heel, erected fur the convenience of mechanics it. tin- employ of the company, anil all the pre liminary steps taken for an extensive im provement of our immense water-powci, which, under the “let-alone” policy of otlic. years, has lieen running to waste. 'flu hoarding houses of the company have under gone needed improvements and enlargements, and provisions been made for erecting new ones in the spring. In fact, all the operations of tin Messrs. Sprague are calculated to inspire confidence in their plans and operations toi the future. Those who were disturbed in their naturally quiet ways by the munificence of the city in inviting capital and enterprise here, have become quieted by the experience of the paet ye*ar, and those who scoffed are now constrained to uraise. On the east side of the river, tiie most ex tensive work in building has been the erection of the new wing to the Insane Hospital. This has already been fully described in tlte col umn* of the Journal, but it may not be out ol place to say here that the foundation was laid about the 10th of June and completed in one month. The work of laying the ashler for tlte first story was commenced about the 14th j of July, and the last stone to complete the j structure was laid oil the loth ot November. Messrs. Soule A Norcross of this city, fur nished the bricks, Messrs. latnoey A Smith the lumber, Messrs. J. I*. Wyman A Sou the w indows, and Messrs. Savage A Young the granite. Mr. Wm. M. Clark had charge of tlte masonry, and Mr. Alvuiil'ogg the carpen ter work. The cost of (he wing in its present condition—as ii is not entirely finished—ha- J been 828.320.20. Several fine dwelling houses have also been built on tin- east side. James Savage lias built two houses on “Malta hill." Wellington Smith lias erected a two-story house oil Eastern avenue. On Cony street. Janies Merrill has built a story ami a half house. There lias been a general “brush ing up" throughout the streets, houses have been reinodled. painted and repaired in vari ous wavs, and this lieantiful part ,,f the city made still more attractive. All of our citizens are not aware of the growth of the little village that is extending itself over C'ushnoc heights. There are sev eral fine stores with n good trade, and some very handsome dwelling houses have recently been built. Those who own property and have pleasant houses on the heights are en gaged in business in all parts of the city, and in tlte future growth of the place it may be necessary to grade the hill and establish a line of Horse ears for the accommodation of those living on the heights. No new stores have been erected this sea son within the limits of the village district. Mr. George Cony’s new hotel on Water street, opposite Mconian Hall, has been fin ished and is soon to be opened. It occupies the two stories over Mr. Cony’s stores and has a French roof surmounted bv a cupola. 1'liere are entrances on both Water and Commercial streets. The house contains fifty rooms besides office, dining hall, kitchen, sample room, etc. The contractor for the new school house on State street, Mr. John H. Shaw, has completed the outside work and is now engaged in finishing the inside. None of our citizens need be ashamed of this struc ture. Few w ill recognize any of the features of the old calamity in the comely edifice that has been reared. Alxiut fifty feet lias been added to the front of the former house, afford ing space for large, convenient and much needed recitation rooms. The grammar school will occupy the first story and the high school the second. There will lie seats in each for about one hundred and sixty scholars. The entrance to the high school will be from State street, and that to the grammar from Pleasant street. The entire building will be ready for occupancy in the spring. Freeman barker has done a good work in providing «ix tenements for small families in the old I’niversalist church on Court street. They are now being completed and made ready for occupancy. Tlu* remainder of the new building- that have been erected the past season must be enumerated in brief. K. IV. Webb ha erected a two-story house on Stste street, near the State House; W. K. I.ancv, a two story house on State street, near Hridg* street, and one on Bridge street, near the engine house; Luther T. Swift, cottage on Prospect street; Chester Webber, cottage on Weston street; A. 0. Watson, two-story house on Melville street Levi L. Lina do. two-story house on Scw.ill street; Luther Mitchell, cottage on same street; ,1. M. San born, two-story house on Green street; Rev. S. G. Sargent, two-story house on same street: Elisha F. Pinkham. two-story house on same street; Pinkham Wyman, two story house on same street; A. Cowee, two stury house near same street; G. G. Stacy, several houses on Western avenue; V. 1). Pinkham, two-story house rebuilt, on same street; F. H. Tibbcts, stable on bis large lot on estern avenue, where he intends build ing a house in the spring. In this article we have only incidentally al luded to the rcpairs«and renovations which have been made upon dwellings in every part of the city. These would properly form a chapter by themselves, for while new houses have been erected many old ones have passed through wonderful transformations. About forty buildings have liecn built in the city during the past year. The names of several of the proprietors we have not given. There is still a great demand for dwelling houses— especially is there urgent need of tenements for mechanic*' families and those of moderate means. The capitalists who will come for ward and invest in property of this kind will not only he reckoned as public benefactors, but will also receive indue time ample reward financially.

The Christmas season has passed and many hearts have been gladdened by receiving to- j kens of love and respect: but the holiday period of’the year is still with us with the op- portunitic* of xtcnding gifts appropriate to j the season. Our dealers in fancy and toilet j articles have had to call in extra help to wait upon their customers. l ake a look at Par- j tridge's rich stock, displayed in the mosf at tractive manner on shelves, tables and count ers. Don't enter that store if you have no i intention of buying; the temptation? are too strong, and you will have t» ‘draw your wallet*’ before leaving. \nd then Kinsman has decked hi* stand for tin- holidays, and ha« a thousand and one article- suitable for gifts, at price* that will astonish the natives. The Johnson Brother? have a fine -fork of j hair brushes, toilet articles, and fancy goods just the things for New Year’s gifts. Titcomh Dorr, at the old stand, west end of Kenne- j bee bridge, have all kinds of perfumery, brushes and light article? suitable for pres- ents, besides many of the standard articles j that are always to be found in a first class drug store. Mr. Dana, at the Dee ring stand, who j has recently come among us, we are glad to j know, is receiving a generous share of the public patronage. His long experience in the drug business will enable him to suit his j customers not only on New Year’s day. but on every day of the year. Our neighbor Wetidcn burg has toys which will please the young folks. These may be found on n large scale at Pierce’s periodical store. Pierce receives subscriptions tor magazines, a fine gift to a friend. Patterson has many things that will be appropriate and useful for present*.

They have a good supply of the genuine and plated ware, of the most modern styles. Mr. Russell ha'* a small hut good stock t of jewelry, ami if any one has an old watch that they want made new. Russell is the man who will do it. Many of our readers have I lady friends who would be glad to receive a new bonnet, hat, or other “fixins” in the mil linery line. We would direct such to the store? of the Misses Sager and White, Mrs. Hodges. Miss Turner, Miss M. P. Soule, Mrs. Sampson and Miss Lizzie Gage.

Paris, Dec. 31. The French Cable Company forward free of charge and beg you w ill publt-.li the following telegram copied from toe journal official or this morning: Office of tiie Director General of Telegkph Lines. The message of the President ol the United States to Congress at the opening, as it is publish by the newspapers, contains in the part relative to the French trans-Atiant.c t able Company, an assertion which this ad ministration considers it a duty to correct, it states in substance that according to the terms ot the concessions despatches from America tran-mitted by that route arc subject to the examination and control of the French gov ernment. and it is evident that the passage was written under the impression that sueh are the conditions of the concessions this ad ministration exercises. No control ot that nature either over dispatches from America or from any other quarter, but it is its duty to see that communications are traiisinifted over the cable in the order of their filing or of their reception at Hre-t, and that there is no favoritism in this respect. It must also on account of the telegraphing monopoly held by the government, see that no despatches are clandestinely introduced upon the line, nnd »o avoid the tax which legitimately accrues to tile Mate. Such is the double aim of its control to pro tect at once the interests of the "public and of the Treasury. Finally the conditions under which this department exercise control over the business of the line are without political intentions. Its subordinate ciup'oyccs arc citnngtd wnth the task, and tlnjr duty is restricted to the verification of ciphers, such as the signals of tke place and time of filing and retbrwarding, aid the number of words which from the ba sis for application of the government tax. Again, most of the despatches, particularly those destined for Nantes, Uurdcaux, Tours, Toulon, and these sections arrive at their destination without passing through Paris at all.

|lailiT Jtfmif&tr Jonrmtl PopBlar Poisoning A constant use of the rsnous adver tised hair-washes, invigorators. restorers, etc., produce effects which inevitably, sooner or later, prodace ill health, and often great bodily suffering. Lead in aome form is one of the ingre dients of an these mixtures. By the con tinued application of these washes to the skin or realp an absorption of load takes place, and its poisonous effects manifest themselves under the various form of lead poisoning. The effects are so slow and insidious that, until the sufferer is entirely beyond core, they are unnoticed, and in many cases even then the original cause is un known. There is no doubt that many have gone to their graves without even their physicians being aware of the real cause _of the disease. It produces neuralgia, paralysis of some of the muscles of the face and the limbs. Man^fftraons complain of sudden pain in the head, ear or eye, or sometimes in the shoulders, often in the fingers, not un fre quently ofnnnmbnessin the limbs, hands or feet. Careful inquiry graces these effects to the use of some of these deleterious compounds. It is time the warning voice of the press should Be heard and heeded by the thousands who are in the daily habit of using these poisonous articles, more es pecially as their use is making such rapid advances in this country. So many ot these washes are now thrown upon the market, all professing to be perfectly in nocuous, that people use them without the slightest investigation not even giving a thought to the inevitable consequences. Of the various cosmetics now so univer sally used by the female sex, and also l*y many of the other sex, there is but one word to say—they are poison in the rankest form. '.hey are not only hurtful, by obstruct ing the natural pores of the skin, stopping up the mouths of the excretory ducts which are designed by nature to throw off, by insensible and sensible perspiration, the impurities of the blood, but also present ing to the absorbent vessels a poison which is taken into the system and penetrates to every portion of the body. The effect of these cosmetics is to destroy the natural texture of the skin, causing it to become dry, wrinkled and impervious to tin oxygen of the air, and, by depriving the blood of this life-giving principle, produ cing rapid decay. Hence we see the absence of those vel vety, peach blossoming faces in our city walks. Instead, we meet at every step females who resemble a kalsomincd wall, with here and there a little coloring matter thrown on to designate the different feat ures. They are indeed blank walls, and the thought cannot but arise that behind these outer walls there must be but little, if any, of that intelligence which should and does beam forth in the clear eye and healthy complexion. If the skin be kept in a clean and healthy condition by the frequent use of cold water, no cosmetic would ever be necessary. Its use removes all impurities from the skin, stimulates its delicate net-work, allows the oxygen of the atmosphere to come in con tact with Hs blood vessel 1 and thus sup plies all the needed elements to enhance and preserve beauty. That those who desire may be able to discover the pfesence of lead in any of these cosmetics and washes, we here give a few simple, but certain tests that may be applied with very little ex|>ense and one easily attainable at any apothecary’s store, vix.: by agitating a solution of sulphur et.ed hydrogen with the wash it will turn black or dark, and generally throw down a precipitate at the bottom of the vessel. Sulphide of ammonium, or sulphide of sodium (glauber salts) have the saint effect. No one who values health and immunity from incessant pain should neglect to ap ply this test to*any compound recommenn ed for the purpose of improving the com plexion or coloring the hair. Instances are daily recorded by the press of the terrible effects of the absorp tion of lead into thj system through the pores of the skin, by the use of popular skin and scalp washes, which would deter any but the most infatuated devotees of fashion from their use. And the instances which are made pubii are not a tithe of what could be furnished by almost any physician of an extended city practice. We again warn all who use these cos-! meric* that they are gradually but cer tainly briuging upon themselves a coudi- 1 tion of health which will be one of suffer- ing and disease beyond the reach of rente-1 dy. By using the simple and inexpensive j tests given above, and rejecting every tiling i that is proved to contain lead in some j form, they will avoid the slow poisoning which is sure to follow their constant ap- plication.—Journal of Applied Chrrnintri/. It is announced that England alone con sumes every year at least two thousand tons of beeswax valued at ',100,000. With gold at 131, tin; best In i”lit pressed yellow' American beeswax is now selling in England at l.r>to 51 cents a pound. Wax candles are used cx.tcnsiv.4y the royal palaces of Europe, and in one palace alone It is stated that ten thousand wax candles are burned every night. The method of lighting this large number of candles in stantaneously is to connect the wicks by an iu&uuiuable and scented thread of gun cotton. On touching the end of the thread with a torch the flame flashes like lightning round the connected candles, an agreeable odor is emitted, anil ‘he apartments are perfumed as if by magic. llttholosj—Thiie end of which lays iu the water; drive the muiihtrkles and water atiuiks oph from the log; straddle the log, and let yure leggs. hang in tho water up tew yure garters; bait yure hook with a chunk ov old injur-rutiber shoe az fast az you pull up the bull-heads, take them by the back ov the neck and stab their i horns into the saw-lo?; when yu hav got the saw-log stuck full, shoulder the saw log, and leave for home: git up the next morning early, skin the bull-heds, and split up the saw-log into kindling wood, let yttre wife cook them for brekfast, and sware the whole family to keep dark about it.
