HXvi Science, I Death by Hanging. He is the King of Glory," This iathe sol-emn inauguration of that great Name, by which the Divine Nature was especially known under the monarchy. Aa before, under the patriarchs, it had been known as Elohim, the mighty ones as through Moses, it had been Jehovah, the Eternal bo now, in this new epoch of civilization, of armies, of all the complicated machinery of second causes, of Church and State, fharn wna Via a vtain rtomA ArnvAaalvA if had finished singing, shyly held out their little brown hands or their aprons, to get anything that wight be given them, and take it to the dark man out at the gate, who stood ready to reoeive it. One day, the dark harpist went to sleep, and the little boy and girl, beooming tired of waiting for him, went off to a cot-aqe uudor the hill, and began to sing under the window. They sang as sweetly as the voices of birds.

Presently the blinds were opened wide, and they saw by the window a fair mindB which produce great works at long Intervals may, however, possess, for aught we know, as great a power of continuous labor aa those whioh turn out mental shoddy by the yard. Only the power is more complex aud if we. may hazard a guess about Buoh matters, we should suppose that its flow even when steadiest was likely to be composed, as it were, of many currents, which so give place to eaoh other as to afford intervals of relaxation for each. In any great work of imagination, for instance, the creative effort must be much more rapid and transient than the labor of working out details, so that the imogination may fold its wings for a long rest while the hand is carrying out its orders. A highly-organized mind is like a great ship, which pursues its appointed course without pause, though the officers an aid and assistance toward seeing their work more cioarly.

Never lose your temper with a servant. It ahe cannot be reasonably dealt with, dismiss her. Bnt, with proper precaution, yon are not likely to engage such a person. Appoint a time for the holiday of each servant, and, if possible, do not allow arrangements to in-terfere with this appropriated time, It necessary to defer it, have no question about it. I have never known an mstanoe of unwilling assent.

"Good mistresses make good servants" is an old adage and usually true. Servants are influenced by example. If they sbe that your oonduot is governed by principle they will respoct yon. If they see that your temper is well regulated, and that you desire to do your duty to them, while yon expeot a steady performance of their duty to you, their respect will be mingled with affection, and a desire to deserve your favor, tScribncr.

Comhill Magazine, Happiness at Home.

Happy men and women are not found outside of happy homes. We pity the millionaire who smiles at the simplicity of the proposition, and equally tho man who boasts in his pride that he can purchase with gold this precious commodity. It is .11 li. .1 1 somoiuinK ma1 goia win not ouy, ana any amount of wealth will not prevent a bankruptcy and its banishment from the home. If a single reader at the opening of the new year feels that his home is not the' ideal place he has the years gone cherished and anticipated, it would be well to stop and inquire the reaRon.

Does the tired wife, shut up in the nu reo- ry, with annoying duties of domestic life, for days, and weeks, and months, light up with a smile at your comin Do the little ones stand at the window and peer into the gathering gloom to note your earli est approacu, ana maso the house resound with ioy when the door swings to admit you? No? Well, there is something wrong. Husband and wife might well stop and ask in all sincerity how shall we "make home happy" the coming year? Wealth alone will not do it the honors of the world and the rounds of fashionable life soon grow insipid, and we must ever turn to the home, whether palatial or humble, to find this object of life. If there were some patent method for obtain ing it, or it could be purchased, what a demand there would be. And yet when it lies at our doors, or is plooed in our hands, we hesitate to pick it up and fail to grasp it. Little Things.

The fact is, too many are looking for great things and great events, when the Bgm of human happiness is almost wholly made up of the little and apparently in- Bigmhcant things about us. It has been said that familiarity breeds contempt." This can only become true between husband and wife and parents and children when the nobility of manhood and woman hood has been forgotten and laid aside, and selfishness and vulgarity have taken its honored -place. If the occupants of some of the homes who have seen happiness departing dur. ing the past year would, in turning the new leaf, remember some of the lessons they once well understood, the change would be magical. Let the husband try for three months to enter his house and leave it as he did in the days of hia woo ing.

jjet the wife practice the easy charms than won the lover. Neither has forgot ten, and there is more than millions in it." It won't be a costly experiment; and if the trial of a year does not make every room 01 your nome. Humble thoncrn it may be, ring with happiness, then you may set it down that the devil has a mortgage, and will likely foreclose, and the sooner the Detter. iiut do not givsup too easily, for of all desirable and beautiful things of this life, a happy home stands first. It is a kind of foretaste of the home beyond.

whose "gates are never shut, "and "whose glory no man can estimate." As our sons and daughters grow up and go -out from their homes, although they may scatter to remote regions of earth, yet forever arises before their minds the loved spot that sheltered them, and the sweet influences ot the home of childhood will protect them from any evil, and draw with the sweet voices of the past to noble and heroio achievements. Treatment of Servants. Treat your servants with much confi dence and consideration, and do not bus- pect them of doing wrong. They must be trusted more or less by the whole house-told, and trust, in most cases, begets a sense of responsibility. Require careful penormance of their duties, strict obeai ence to your orders, tidiness and cleanli' tess in their persons, respectful manners and willing service, and make them understand how much their good conduct adds to the comfort of the whole household.

They must hav9 time to do their washing and keep their clothes in order. or they cannot be clean and tidy. Treat them with kindness, but never with fa uniiaruy, Don ask, unnecessary ques tions. If they are sad and moody, take no further notice of it, than to suggest (if practicable,) that the usual holiday hours should be taken on that day, rather than uib one appropriated to them. Witn-out wholesome intervals of amusement, uninterrupted work becomes intolerable.

Benrolie8 on tbe immeaiate oauRe of doaUl by hanging, of which the Journal dc Medicine gives a short abstract. In hanging, the noose does not prens directly on the larynx and the trachtn, but almost always slips between tho lurynx and the ohiu. In those coses tho basis of the tongue is pushed upward and pressed against the posterior wall of the pharynx, completely closing it. The most important agent, however, in this kind of death, is the compression of the larger vessels and the cervical portion of the vagus nerve; tho uppor portion of tho carotid being pressed against the transverse processes of tho cervioal vertebras before it branches oil into the external and internal carotids, and the inner coat of the vessel being ruptured. The jugular veins are compressed at tho same time; and tho brain can neither receive any more blood, nor allow that which it already contains to now away; us irritability is, therefore, extinct.

Tho very importaut part which both the vagiiB and the vessels take in causing death by hanging i clearly shown turougu me louowing observations: 1. Jjoss of consciousness following im mediately tho compression caused by tho rope nt the moment when the nooso is drawn tight by the weight of the body. The truth of this assertion is proved by tho fact that no person who commits 6ui-cido by hanging, ever attempts to rid himself of the rope which throttles him, although he might do bo easily by standing upright; as the body is not alwavs sus pended above tho surface of the ground. a. The rapidity with which death en sues and the beating of the heart stops.

The few struggling respirations which generally occur shortly before death have not been observed in persons who have been hanged. It is also well known how difficult it is to restore such patients to life. It is clearly seen from the above mentioned facts that death occasioned by hanging cannot be explained simply by obstruction of the respiratory tracts, but that, on the contrary, the compression of the nerves and vessels of the neck is the principal agents. The in the Frog. Nowhere in tho animal kingdom is there so favorable an opportunity for peeping into Xsature workshop as in tho meta morphosis of the frog.

This animal ib a worm when it comes from the eprcr. and mains bo for the first four days of its life, having neither eyes, nor ears, nor nostrils, nor respiratory organs, it crawls, it breathes through its skin. After a while a neck is grooved into the flesh. Its soft lips are hardened into a homy beak. The different organs, one after another, bud out; then a pair of branching gills, and last, a long, limber tail.

The worm has become a fish. Three or four more days elapse, and tho (tills sink back into the body, while in their place others come, much more complex, arranged in vascular tufts, one hundred and twelve in each. But they, too, have their day, and are absorbed, together with their framework of bone and cartilage, to be succeeded by an entirely different breathing apparatus, the initial of a sec ond correlated group of radical changes lungs are developed, tne mouth widened the horny beak converted into rows of teeth; the stomach, the abdomen, the in testines prepared for the reception of ani mal food in place of vegetable; four limbs, fully equipped with hip and shoal der bones, with nerves and blood vessels, nnoli nnf flivnrtoli fliaoL-in wVtila tliatail being now supplanted by them as a means of locomotion, is carried away piecemeal by the absorbents, and the animal passes the balance of its days as an air-breatn mg and ilesh-feedmg batrachian. The Bite of Bogs. So much alarm has been felt in many quarters concerning hydrophobia, that every possible means of escaping the danger of dog-bites is eagerly welcomed by the public.

We present, therefore, a few notes clipped from onr exchanges 1. The following cure for hydrophobia is a recipe of M. Cassar, a French physician Take two tablespoonfulB of fresh chloride of lime, mix it with one-half pint of water, and with this wash keep the wound constantly bathed and frequently renewed. The chloride gas possesses the power of decomposing the tremendous poison, and renders mild and harmless the venom against whose resistless attack the artillery of medical science has been so long directed in vain. Apply as soon as possible after the bite." 2.

Dr. Offenburg, of Munster, claims to have cured a case of hydrophobia by hypodermio injections of curare, seven times in four hours, to tho amount of three grains. Symptoms of paralysis ensued, free from convulsions. The recovery was slow. 3.

Pulverized charcoal, mixed with lard, is said to be an infallible remedy for the bite of a dog. It must be immediately applied to the injured spot and kept there until the poison has been completely drawn out. Intermission from Labor. Temperaments seem to differ very widely in the degree in whioh they require intervals of intermission from labor. Not to speak of the familiar varieties of constitution with regard to sleep, there is no doubt a similar variety with regard to the power of continuing anyone kind of effort for months or years.

We have all heard accounts, whioh sounded almost fabulous to ordinary minds, of writers of fiction who, as one novel is ended, begin another with no more ceremony than their neighbors make of taking a fresh sheet of paper. We Bee constantly before onr eyes tho manufacture of some kinds of intellectual tissue which proceeds as uninterruptedly as if by machinery. If the product in such caBeB is not of tho very highest type, the facility of unintermitting production is almost as wonderful a thing in its way as the power of occasional soaring which belongs to a different order of minds.

Not merely the Eternal Lord of the solitary human soul, but the Leader and Sustainer of thehoBts of battle, of the hierarchy of war and peace that gathered around the court of the kings of Israel. The Lord God is a sun," is a mngnifl. cent emblem, when we lcaru from astronomy that the Bun is tho grand centre of attraction, and when we, in addition, take in that sublime generalization that tho sun is tho ultimate Bourco of every form of power existing in this world. The expansive energy of steam propels your en gines, but the force which operates it is locked up in tho coal, the remains of extinct forests, and it iB the chemical force resideut in his rays which discngnged their carbon from the atmosphere, and laid it up as a sourca of power for future use.

The animal exerts a force by muscular contraction he draws it from the vegetable on which he feeds the vegetable derives it from the sun, whose rays determino its growth. Every timo you lift your arm, every timo you take a step, you are drawing on tho power the sun has given you. What an emblem of Him in whom we live, and move, and have our being. Written for this paper Monkeys -JVo. 88.

The Gibbon genus of tho monkey has many characteristics common with the other species already mentioned, but they are destitute of tails and cheek-pouches, which places them among the apes. They are rarely more than four feet high as tuey stand erect, but their arms are as long as their body. There are seven spe cies of this race which are found all over India and the adjacent islands. The for CBts are their homes, and they are rarely seen at a distance from them. They are shy and timid and as noisy as any brute oan be.

The motion of the more active species is very On the ground they are entirely helpless, but among the trees Uiey move more swiftly than any enemy that would pursue them. The Won-wou species have a very low fore head, projecting orbital arches, black or brown faces, with a white band over the eyeB and whitish whiskers, in some in stances. The agility of this species among the trees is They have no Bao, yet they howl in a manner resembling those which have one. These are found in the foersts of Sumatra. So little is known of the Hoolock species of monkey that we may pass them by, with the aim pie remark that they are known to pos sess a remarkably amiable and docile dis position.

The Shamany species are black and have two naked folds of skins on the neck which are sometimes inflated. These have long and soft hair, and are also found in Sumatra. They gather in large troop and are conducted by a chief, whom the Malays believe to be invulnerable. These musters are attended at sunrise and sun' Bet, when they vie with each other in making the most horrible cries. At oth er times in the day they are very quiet.

unlcBS disturbed by some intruder. In this species, natural affection triumphs over every other feeling. If the young one has been wounded, the mother will sacrifice her life in an attack upon the enemy. She seems to have a wonderful idea as to the importance of cleanliness in its relation to health. The way she washes, rubs and dries her infant, regardless of its piteous cries and resist ance, is highly amusing.

The siamong is easily tamed and more contented in bondage than other species, but this seems the result of apathy more than con fidence and affection for his new acquaintances. He has very little intellect, and spends most of his time in sullen retirement. He eats leisurely, and drinks by placing his fingers in water and sucking them. Mr. Bennet relates an anecdote of a siamong that he kept for awhile, which shows that tho monkey, like the dog, can be made to see that some things are right and others wrong.

It is not a moral qual ity, however, in either case. In the cab' in the animal found a piece of soap, and seemed determine 1 to steal it. Several times he had been scalded for the attempt, At one time, when Mr, B. was busily 00 enpied, the monkey watched his opportu nity, and when he thought he could ao complish his purpose safely, be took the soap in his hand and moved away with it, Soon he Baw that he was caught, and has tened back and deposited the soap near where he had found it. No doubt would have tried again if he had seen the opportunity.

Tho mourning Gibbon another species, but very rare. Only single speoimen was brought from the Sooloo Isles to Europe, and placed in the Garden of Plants at Paris. He was wonderfully active and quite intelligent, but inferior to the higher grade of apes. He recognized his keeper and other frequent lady on a sick bed regarding them. Her eyes shone with a feverish light, and the color of her cheeks was like a beautiful peach in the sun.

She smilod as an angel might, and asked them if their feet were tired. They said a few, words Boftly iu their own tongue. She said: Are the green fields not better than your city?" They shook their heads. She asked them: Have you a mother?" They looked porlexed. She said: "What do you think while you are walking along these couutry roods?" They thought she 'asked for another song, bo eager was tho face; and they sung at once a song full of sweetness and pity; bo sweet the tears came into her eyes.

That was a language they had learned. So they sang one sweeter still. At this she kissed her hand and waved it to them. Their beautiful fucrs kindled, and like a iiiish the timid hands waved back a kis. Sho pointed upward to the ky, and sent a kiss thither.

At this they sauk upou thtir knots, and also pointed thither, as much as asking: Do you also know tho good God?" A ludy, loaning by the window, said: Sa tears and kisses belt the earth, and make the world kin." And the sick one added: "And God is over oil." A'. A'. Times. Dominus Illnxnlnatio Mea.

Sundar, March Kl. INalin xxxlr This is one of the twelve Psalms inscribed To the SonB of Korah," who constituted the largest of the Temple choirs. This Psalm has come down to us without any certain evidence of its authorship. Its style and sentiments accord well with those of David; and as there seems to be an allusion in verses 9 and 10 to a king in exile, it is conjectured that David wrote this hymn after the rebellion of Absalom, at Mahanaim beyond Jordan. To the devout Jew tho Temple as also the Tabernacle which preceded it was invested with a Bacredness which can never be associated with any modern structure.

The mingled feelings of awe, and sanctity, and privilege, and protection, which such a bolief would excitp in a reverent Jew, we can but dimly appreciate. To be separated from the Sanctuary no longer to tread its courts was a privation indeed and this privation must have been felt most keenly in the case of an exile like David who had himself brought up the ark of the Lord to. the new Tabernacle which ke had reared for it on Mt. Zion, to supply the place of the ancient tent which still lingered at Gibeon who had himself offered sacrifices and pronounced the priestly benediction; The Psalmist appears to be tarrying in the valley of Baca, and he cries earnestly to the Lord God of HoBts, the God of Jacob, for strength and deliverance "Behold, 0 God, our shield, and look npon the face of Thine anointed!" Even while he prays, a cheering beam seems to fall npon him, and he acknowl edges the Lord to be a eun as well as shield. His faith grows perceptibly now Tho Lord will give grace and glory." In triumphant assurance he adds No good thing will He withold from them that walk uprightly."

Who Was the Bad Boy. Little Annie was prettily dressed, and standing in front of the house waiting for her mother to go to ride. A tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was passing, when the little girl said: 'Gome here, boy, and sake hands with me. I dot a boy dus like yon, named Bobby." The boy langned, suook nanus witn her, and Baid: "I've got a little girl just like you, only she hasn't got any little cloak with pussy fur on it." Here a lady came out 01 tue door and Annie, you must not talk with bad bovs on the street. I hope you havn't taken anything from her? Go away, and don stop here again, boy!
