YEARS AFTER.

I know toe years have rolled across thy graveTill it has grown a plot of level grass--All

summer doealts green luxuriance waveIn silken shimmer on thy breast, alas!

And all the winter it is lost to sightBeneath a winding-she- et of chilly white.

I know the precious name I loved so muchIs heard no more the haunts of men among;

The tree thou plantedst has outgrown thytouch.

And sings to alien ears its murmuring song;The lattice-ros- e forgets thy tendance sweet.The air thy laughter, and the sod thy feet.

Through the dear wood where grew thy vio-lets

Lies the worn track of travel, toil and trade:And steam's imprisoned demon fumes and

frets.With shrieks that scare tho wild bird from

the shade.Mills vex the lazy stream, and on its shoreThe timid harebell swings its chimes no more.

But yet even yet if I, grown changed andold, ,

Should lift my eyes at opening of the door.And see again thy fair liead'fi waving gold,

And meet thy dear eyes' tender smile oncemore,, , 6 ,j t, 5 v

These years of parting like a breath wouldseem.

And I should say; "I knew it was a dream!"ElizabeUi Aker, in Century Magazine.

"PUB. DOCS."

Tho mail cars leaving Washington areburdened every day with public docu-ments, and every Congressman as lieleaves the city pays one last visit to the"folding-room- " at the Capitol to seehow his documents are getting off. Theentire force in the folding-roo- m is busyas busy can be, and quantities of thedocuments have accumulated at thepost-ofli- ce owing to the inability of theauthorities to furnish mail cars in whichto carry them off as fast as they aremailed. The fact is, impossible :is thismay appear, the amount of this kind ofmatter now furnished by order of Con-gressmen for transportation through themails is more than a car-loa- d a day.By a car-loa- d is meant twenty thousandpounds. "There are," said Superin-tendent Robinson, of the House folding-roo- m,

in speaking of the subject to-da- y,

"there are sent from our folding-roo- m

to the post-ofli- ce every day, now, abouttwo hundred sacks of these documents

books of all sorts and sizes, and uponall subjects that the Government Printerhas been ordered to discourse upon'

"And what do these two hundredsacks weigh apiece?"

'About one hundred and twenty-fiv-e

pounds that makes twenty-fiv-e thou-sand pounds. Then add one-thir- d morefor the amount sent out from the Senatedocument-roo- m, and you have about thesize of our daily mail nowadays."

"Over thirty-thre- e thousand pounds,eh?"

"Yes.""And all carried free, of course?""Yes, it could not go otherwise. It

would break up the average Congress-man to pay the postage on his docu-ments. And, indeed, it seems quiteproper that these books should becomefree, for they are proper educators.They go everywhere and are read byall classes of people. They are, as arule, very judiciously distributed, eachCongressman sending his books to peo-ple whom they will interest. For in-stance, a member has seven or eighthundred Agricultural Reports, or 'ag s,'as we term them, and a couple of hun-dred Consular Reports on mercantilematters, a hundred Engineers' Reports,a couple of hundred on engineering, asmany reports of tho Railroad Com-missioner, some more about patents,and so on; of course he sends the agri-cultural reports to the farmers in hisdistrict, the reports of the consuls tothe merchants and manufacturers, thoseupon financial topics to financiers, andso on through the list. More than that,where a member has no constituents interested in any of these particular sub-jects, and mauy who are interested inanother, he trades off his documentsthat his people don't want for those ofanother they do want, and so reallythey are made to go as far as possible,and. do as much good as could be ex-pected from general distribution of thissort."

"What Is there in this talk that mem-bers sell their documents to second-han- d

dealers here?""Nothing, I think. At least I know

of no such cases. I do know, though,that they often make trades with thesemen upon the principle indicated in thetrades that I mentioned, a few minutesago, and by that means enable them-selves to furnish their constituents alarge number of books that are reallyTaluable to them."

"How many volumes each do members get?"

"That depends altogether on thenumber ordered by the act of Congress.Now this year each member gets some-thing over seven hundred agriculturalreports. That is the largest number ofany one publication."

"How many different publicationsare there?"

"Some of the members sent out thisyear as many as two hundred and twenty--

five different works, not all of thempublications of this year, however.'

"You keep, the publications of formeryears on hand, then, do you?"

"Yes: some of them. Some rnn asfar back as twenty years; of others wehave none more" than a year or twoback. The more valuable ones, ofcourse, are picked up rapidly by themembers for themseves and theirfriends."

"Are many of them so valuable,then?"

"Yes; some run as high as twenty-fiv-edollars for a set. Of course, thatis

exceptional; but there are a few caseswhere they run that .high."

"How many volumes do you thinkyou send out a year?"

"I think: aboureven hundred thou-sand. I have no definite record of thenumber, but I think that it must runupto that number."

"Then adding one-thir- d for tho Sen-ate, and some more for the depart-ments, it makes a million volumes ayear, does it?"

"About that, I suppose and that,you know, is exclusive of the speechesof members, in pamphlet form, of whichthey send, us a great nianv to fold andmail."

"How many?"" Well, all the way from one thou-

sand to one million apiece.""One million! You don't mean to

say that any one member has sent outa million copies ofLhis speeches?"

"Yes, andrtmdro than' that. Onemember of this Congress has sent outa million and a quarter of his speeches."

" And does the Government pay forthese million and a quarter of speechesfor political purposes?"

"Oh, dear, no. The gentleman haspaid nearly fifteen thousand dollars-m- ore

than his entire salary in both ses-sions of Congress for speeches alone.The Government furnishes the envel-opes, folds them, and sends themthrough the mail. We have sent offmore than five million speeches in es.

But our envelopes don't costamen when we buy them by the mill- -

ion, as we do here. We get them atless than a dollar a thousand.", "How does he get the addresses ofenouglt. people to send out these speech-es in such large numbers?"

i.Yell,he.iurnishe3 each member.asmany as he" chooses to send, and keepsfour or five clerks busy sending themput besides."

"The number of poimds of this mat-ter transported through the mails freeof charge must be something

F " Yes it is. It would be impossibleto estimate it, except by the generalfact that we average a hundred bags aday the year round, and that they prob-ably average one hundred and twenty-fiv-e

poimds apiece, making some five orsix million pounds, or sav twenty-fiv- ehundred to three thousand tons, or twohundred and fifty car-loads- ."

" And how man' men do tho work ofpreparing this for the people?"

"Here, in the folding-roo- wherehe books are wrapped and addressed,

we have thirty men, beside those in theoffice. But we ought to have twice thenumber. Then that number is smallcompared with the foreo at the Govern-ment Printing Office, where these booksare printed. There are between 2,000and 3,000 employed there. Think of it !

Enough to make a good-size- d town. Itis the largest printing establishment inthe world."

" What particular sections get mostof these books?"

"Well, that is pretty ditlicult to an-swer. The scientific works tend towardNew England and the Middle States,agriculture toward the Slisissippi val-ley, mining both to the far West and tothe money centers, and so on. The de-mand, however, is. quite general, andthe distribution on a very broad basis."

"Is the range of subjects consideredby these works a very wide one?"

"Yes, indeed! There are, as I saidawhile ago, from two hundred tothree hundred different works. Manyof them, of course, are only inter-esting to a few, but then! is cer-tainly not a citizen who would findthem all uninteresting. Take the reportof the census, for instance; it covers notonly the population, but ever- - otherconceivable subject, health, wealth, ag-riculture, uiiiiiug, manufacture, tradeand many other interesting and valua-ble topics. Then, there are the Consu-lar reports. Agricultural reports, FishCommission reports, coast and geoditicsurveys, a number of volumes on eth-nology, special report on diseases ofswine, sheep husbandry, the Ethnologi-cal Commission's report, Powell's sur-ve3- 's

west of the 100th meridian (avery valuable set, fiuelv illustrated andfull of interest), reports on mines andmining, and on geological surveys inthe mining regions and many others,literally too numerous to mention.They would make a very valuable libra-ry in themselves."

Thousands upon thousands of thesevolumes --hundreds of thousands, infact still remain in the basement ofthe Capitol. Some have been theretwenty years, some appear likely to re-main much longer. In one room werethirty thousand volumes, in anotherha;f as many. What a fire they wouldmake if they should get fairly startedsome day. And what a world of infor-mation they would carry if they weredistributed among the forty millionreading people of this country. Wash-ington Cor. Chicago Journal.

Stick to Your Trade.

" Stick to your trade," says an ex-change, "nine-tenth- s of all the failuresof the hist year have come to men whowere dabbling in outside affairs." Therecould not be more truth crowded into afew lines than is contained in the above.As a general thing wheu you hear ofthe failure of a man in business you canset it down that he has been dabblingin something he knew nothing about,and has sunk the money needed in hislegitimate business. The merchant,even in a country village, who attendsstrictly to business, ma' in time lay bya snug little sum, but as soon as hecommences to speculate in land, oreven trade horses, he is liable at anytime to hear something drop on accountof taking the money needed iu his busi-ness for speculative purposes. Thefarmer who works hard all summer,sows and reaps a good harvest, and putsthe proceeds of the sale of his wheat in-

to his pants pocket and goes to specu-lating in pork, may eventually finda mortgage plastered down over hisproperty that it will take vears offrugal industry to remove. You hearof the failure of a merchant en-gaged iu trade ami in nine casesout of ten you can trace the causeto the fact that he had a fewthousand dollars invested in wheatwhen the price tumbled and the bottomfell out of his scheme for making a littlemoney by outside speculation. Amerchant 111:13 'J0 :i"' r"o'd, and level-headed iu his trade, he can weigh outcodfish and sugar, or drive a sharp bai-gai- n

in buying a loatl of green hides 01a ton of butter, but when he has a fewthousand dollars invested in wheat, orpork, or lumber, and the price takes adrop, he loses his head and is laid outcollier than a mackerel. "Every manto his trade" is a saying as true as it isancient. There are instances, ofcourse, where men have left theirgrocery in tho furrow and took upspeculation and struck it rich, orwhere ministers have beat their hymn-boo- ks

into railroad stocks, and made afortune at one strike, but these

are scarce very scarce. Thecashier of a bank, or Treasurer ofState, who lays awake nights fixing upschemes for making a million, dealingin "futures," or holding a hundredthousand dollars' worth of butter andeggs for a rise, are foreve com-ing to grief, while the men 'insimilar positions, who salt fifty centson every dollar of their salarj- - inan old stocking, and don't tryto beat tho "faro" banks, or own thefastest horses or the earth, get to thefront and become solid men. There aremen enough to do all the speculatingthere is any necessity for doing; menwho have become hardened in the busi-ness, and who lose or make thousandswithout a blush or a twitclj of the mus-cles. These men dou't, as a generalthing, lose their heads and make badbreaks. They are accustomed to thebusiness, and therestof mankind shouldbe content to let them buy all the stocksand bonds and wheat and pork, andmake or lose, just as it happens; theyenjoy excitement that would turn somemen s hair gray in forty-eig-ht hours,and the business and professional menshould be content to let them enjoy it,There are thousands of men buckingagainst fate, trying to make a fortuneby speculation, who, ifthev had tenmillions of dollars' worth of the beststocks or bonds in the world, would, inthe shortest 'possible time, if theyjper-sistc- d

in speculating, be laid out, finan-cially, so flat thev would 1m nhlim! towork a free lunck route. Peck's Sun.

Open Fires.

Whether it is of wood- - or. coal, thevirtues of an .open fire are. these: jy itspeculiar heat action it warms the air ofa room less than its walls and less .thanthe occupants of the room, producing' acomfortable warmth. It gives the mostthonugh ventilation, and it is the mostcheerful as well as comfortable sourceof heat. Its faults are its. expensive-nes- s,

and the greater trouble requiredin, taking care of itr ,

Why does an open- - fire give a com-fortable heat when the heat from a sys-tem of pipes is often oppressive, andsometimes stifling? Because pf thegreat difference between the ways inwhich the fire and the hot pipes dis-pense their heat. The heat-- rays1 froman open fire pass directly through theair without much heating it; they heatany solid object in their way, wnetherit be the1 walls atfd furniture of the roomor the person of tho sitter, but theyleave the air itself cool until thwisheated in turn by radiation from thewalls. The occupant of the room doesnot have to wait for this secondary radi-atio-u;

ho is impartially and proniptbywarmed, like any other solid object iutho room, by the direct glow of tho fire.whilo the air nronud him may remaincomparatively cool. It does not, inpoint of fact, get to be quite :is warm asthe walls and furniture, whilo by choos-ing a less or greater distance from thelire, orby the use of screens, you canadjust the heat of direct radiation ex-actly to your personal comfort.

This is not the case with any othersystem of heating. Wanned pipes, astove at anything short of red heat, anda hot-a- ir register directly heat the ' airitself, leaving the walls comparativelycool. The room is full of hot air, whichyou can not temper instantly to yourcomfort as you can temper the radia-tion of the open fire, while the walls re-

main cooler than the air wheu theseheating appliances are used, and ab-stract neat from the occupants of theroom instead of supplying heat to them,:is they do when warmed by the openfire.

For these reasons the open fire is themost comfortable way of heating. Asto its virtue in producing ventilation, anopen lire " is powerful enough to drawinto the room all the air it wants, andfor this purpose will use indiscrimin-ately all openings, whether inlets oroutfets, if necessary." If, as often hap-pen- s,

when this is cold the house is nottightly built, the fire may easily causetoo much ventilation, so that the feetbecome chilled, and the temperature ofthe room does not reach a comfortabledegree of warmth. In such a case aregister supplying wanned air froma furnace below is a necessary supple-ment to the open fires; a similar com-pensation is needed in large buildingswhere hot pipes are used to warm thehalls. The open tire, indeed, is often,in our climate, a luxury for a singleroom, rather than a sufficient means ofheating the house; but the open firu is agreat comfort. Other sources of heatmay usefully supplement it; but noother, at whatever expense of moneyand scientific contrivance, can take thoplace of it. I have known more thanone builder of his own house who hasfound out that its winter comfort washyno means wholly decided by the heiglitof the thermometer.

The cheerfulness of the open fire re-quires no eulogy. But the open flame,whether of wood, soft coal or hard coal,is a costly luxury. Soft coal is with usone of the most expensive kinds of fuel;but it is worth remembering that onegood lump of it upon a hard-co- al lirewill HII a room with cheerful flame forhours.

Of the heat furnished b' an ordiuaryopen coal fire only about "one-eight-

h isutilized in a room. This waste has lediuventors to contrive various means forretaining a part of the heat that escapesdirectly up the chimney. The pruu iplis to warm an ascending current of airin proximity to the lire, but not to anexcessive degree, and to disengage theair near the top of the room. Galtonhas devised one of the best of thesecontrivances, but it is little known inthis count rj'. In an' lire-pla- ce theforms and materials employed make agood deal of difference with" the amountof heat saved. Brick and tiles are better than iron for the backing; the gratesiiouiu project a certain distance intothe room, and a projecting chimney-piec- e

absorbs and radiates a consider-able amount of heat. The fashion, nowgoing out, of concealing the mantel-piece with a board, suitably trimmedand decorated, was thus a" thrifty aswell as a pretty one, the fringes "andother coverings of the false mantel-piece serving to retaiu and distributethe heat of the fire beneath.

The hob is an attachment that shouldbe found upon the grate of every openlire. Any one cau make a good hob inlive minutes. Take a piece of stout wireone-fift- h of an inch in diameter andtwenty to twenty-fou- r inches.long, bendit into the shape of a rong capital U,five or six inches broad, put the pointsof this U between the two upper gratebars and bend down tho loop of it untilit stays level, ami you will have a con-venient movable hob, and quite as gooda one as can le bought for money.The hob and kettle are very serviceablefor evaporating water, according tothe plan I have recommended for keoj-in- g

the air moist- - A hob thus makesthe grate fire in the parlor morehealthful.while the tea-kett- h- simmeringupon it adds its own element of domes-tic comfort. Titus Munson Ccun, inHarper's Weekly.

How to Buy Meat.

"Now,-- ladies, I hope you will ask asmany questions as you please, becauseI want to make everything clear toyou," said Miss Maria Parloa, as shebegan her lecture on "Marketing," atthe College of Pharmacy, on Twenty-thir- d

street, yesterday. On the longtable on the lecture platform was a sideof dressed beef, weighing four hundredpounds. Beside it, ready to cut it upto illustrate the lecture, stood a mostgentlemanly looking-butcher- .

"You must remember," said MissParloa, " that after the meat is dressedonly about one-sixt- h of it is desirable.The rest of it, rich and poor alike, pre-- ,fer not to buy, but the poor have to uuyit, because they can" not afford the pricwof the choice cuts. But you must beariu mind that the costly and tender cutsarc not the most nutritious. The mus-cular part, that is most used, while it isthe toughest, also gives the most nour-ishment, only it needs to be cooked dif-ferently from the tender parts. Whenyou are buying meat, remember that the"nderest parts conn; from that part ofthe animal where there i least muscu-1- m

exertion. The tough parts of themeat, which would bo unpalatable ifbroiled or roasted, mav be with profitstewed, braised or made into soup. Infact, the very tender parts would not begood for food lor a sick person, becausethey are not nutritious enough. Now,

end contains, at about theSuarter "the ' animal,'' the' porterhottsesteaks,- - the' porterhouse roasts ana tnetender pieces, that everybody wants. Aswe go further back we find the rumpanU the sirloin."

The deft butcher, with his knife, sawand; cleaver, cuti piece after piece as thelecturer pointed them out,showiuj.wherethe kidneys' lay embedded in the suet j

showing the brittle, crumbling nature ofsuet as distinguished' from fat. showingwhere the tenderloins lay and how tocut them to advantage'. Each piece wasshown, until all had an opportunity tofix its name and place its present mar-ket price. The delicate nutritious roll-ing pieces were cut and shown, and themethod of preparation was explained.These pieces arc sometimes called "theskirt." Tho ladies were cautioned thatbrine draws out tho-juic- cs of the meat,and that fat corned-bee- f is the best, because the fat keeps the juices of themeat from being drawn out by thebrino.

"Do you consider kidneys nutritious?"inquired a sprightly lady, who had 'gota front seat.to 00 sure and see the carv-ing.

"Yes, kidneys and the flank pieces,the liver and other cheap parts, whenproperty cooked, are all good food.

The lecturer showed how much moreeconomical and sensible it would be tohare the meat cut in gntdes, and not tobuy, as is often done now, poor meatin one good piece. She advised thehabit of liuying, even at higher prices,pieces with the flank end cut off. Sheadvised her hearers to hunt up butcherswho would cut up moat to order, andnot compel them to buy what they didnot want and could not use. Speakingof soup, she said that to keep it clear itshould not be boiled much, ms boilingset the lime of the bones free

"But I should think that might bethe very thinv needed for children whenthey are making bones," said a bright-eye- d

lady."Well, that may be so. I suppose it is;

but you must not boil the soup much ifyou want it clear.'

The lecturer was pointing out in apiece of sirloin the tough part that shesaid ought to be cut off as not fit forroasting, and, turning to Mr. Kissell, thegentlemanly butcher, she said: "Youdon't usually sell them that?"

"Oh, yes.they do," interposed ayounglady. You will have to go and educateour" butchers, Miss Parloa."

"They charge you twenty-eig-ht centsfor this piece with the flank on. Youmight better, pay thirty cents for thorest, and let them sell the flank for tencents."

"All it is worth!" ejaculated the livelymatron. "I always ask for shortsteaks and short roasts, and don't buya lot of meat that is worthless."

Miss Parloa kept up a running fire ofchat with her audience, and encouragedthem to ask questions. N. Y. Sun.

Indigestion and Disease.

Dr. Henry Reynolds has an article inthe Phrenological Journal 011 indigestionwhich seems to define the nature andsymptoms of the case very closely. Hosays:

The important relation of indigestionto many diseases which people suffer isnot sufficiently realized. Difficulty inbreathing, occurring spontaneously- - oron slight exertion, may be caused by in-

digestion.Indigestion causes alterations in tho

general nutrition of the body, which aremanifested in various way9, amongwhich are the following: Anaemia, or adepraved state of the blood, involving adeficiency of the red globules of theblood, and causing persons thus affectedto be unnaturally pale, especially aboutthe lips; decay of the teeth; graynessofthe hair; excessive liability to inflam-mation, from slight causes, of thomucous'membranes, especially the eyesand throat; to which may be added, incases of those predisposed to such affections, liability to gout and rheumatism,and affections of the lungs or kidneys.Consumption has frequently been re-

garded as due in many cases to longcontinued derangement of the digestion,whereby the general nutrition of thesystem has become impaired.

The inflammation of the mucousmembrane of the throat, known as"clergyman's sore throat," is a productof indigestion, and th'e removal of thecanse by the adoption of a suitable diet-ary, exercise in the open air and ob-

servance of the laws of health generallywill be the best treatment for it.

Indigestion is the cause of variousalterations in the skin manifested bygeneral coldness or chilliness, especiallyof the extremities, by changes in itscolor or texture, which ma' be earthyor sallow in tint, or dry and coarse, amiby various eruptions, among which arethe well known eczema, acne, impetigoand nettle rash. Most of the cases ofskin diseases affectiug children are besttreated by attention to the diet, makingthe diet easily digestible, and sufficient-ly limited to insure complete digestion.

The causes of indigestion may be dueto the food or condition of the stomach.The food may be defective in quality.There may be excess or deficiency ofthe normal ingredients, saccharine.starchy, albuminous, or fatty, or someof the naturally indigestible materials!wnicnlorm a part 01 an, iood. J. hefood inay be introduced in an indigest-ible form on account of defects in thecooking of it, or imperfect mastication,or from its Having undergone putre-faction or fermentation, which arreststhe functions of ' the stomach. Imper-fect mastication oMood is a very com-mon cause of indigestiou amougAmer-lean- s.

Eating too.much is probably the mostcommon of all causes of indigestion.The secretion of the gastric juice in thestomach seems to be proportioned tothe' amount of material required forthe nourishment of the system. Foodtaken .iu excess of this amount acta asa foreign substance, undergoing fer-mentation and putrefaction, andoeca-sionin- g

much disturbance in the system.Much may be done for the cure of in-

digestion by eating very abstemiouslyof suitable, food, thoroughly masticat-te- d,

taking exercise in the open air,breathing pure air ud observing thelaws of health generally. The amountof food should be reduced' until thequantity is reached which the stosaaehcan digest without evincing any sysap?toms of indigestion.

A young man, twenty-tw- o years old,a resident of Detroit, had, by stricteconomy laid by a couple of thousanddollars. Feeling that he needed adviceas to how to invest it, be called at theoffice of a capitalist and philanthropist,and stated his case.

"You have done well exceedinglywell," replied the philanthropist, "youshould invest that money in a suburbanlot, and profit by the rise."

" I've thought of that; but where canI find a lot?"

"Oh! that's easy enough; in fact, 1have several lots myself in market, andI will give you a bargain."
