There is a phase in which we may consider the law of business, and that is the balance between too little and too much. Dreadful indeed, is the condition on either handaof those who have nothing to do, and of those who are overworked. Dreadful is the con- dition of those who exist in the langour of perfumed idlenessâ€"4va are heart-sick in their epicurean surfeitwwho are crying out for some new excitement‘who are engaged in that most sacriligious of all murders, the killing of time. Dreadful, too, is the condi- tion of those who toil early and toil long, in stifling rooms until youth and life are drain- ed away by marasmus and consumption ; of those who, in caves and mines, turn forever the blended earth that knows no sun ; of those who, in low garrcts, bend over their work until, as they draw the last thread through the finished seam, they see the white dawn staring at them over the curtain tops, prophetical of the spectral face of death. hi this country, however, few men are en- dowed with the melancholy privilege of idle- ness. The Marquis of Spinola asked a friend what his brother died of. “ He died," was the reply, “ of having nothing to do.” “ Alas,” rejoined the Marquis, “ it was enough to kill any general of us all.” \Ve suppose there are few of us who are in danger of catching that complaint. Even in the most strenuous pressure of labor, in the din- 'est, grimiest drudgery, what man who ows whathe achieves by his labor is not joyful, that he has share of the universal or- dinance, and does not feel that it is infinite- ly better than to swing in the hammock of laziness and doze his life away? But do we fairly maintain the other side of the balance ? Are we prudent, are we just, respecting overâ€" work ? The state of the case is simply this : that, in the movement of our Canadian life, brains and bodies are more rapidly used up than in any other life of industry on the globe. \V e do not refer to the victims of ne- cessity, who must work at all hours when they can. We mean those who will work at all hours, when they will. It is astonishing how soon annan puts himself through the mill and gets ground up into pulp. Considerâ€" our‘nervous diseases ; for physicians assure us that we are the most nervous pedple in the world. \Ve are strung all over With ner vos outside ; with heart diseases, softening of the brain, and paralysis, striking down the strong man at the helm. There is no gain in over- work, for the balance is destroyed ; and there is no gain in speed when we lose in power. It is not necessary to establish a fortune. ’It is no balm in pain. A fortune will not cure the dyspepsia. \Ve are to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow ; but this is no reason why we, should turn the body into a factory, to run all the while, like a tripâ€"hammer. The law of balance is the law of rhythmical heart, the corded nerve, the convoluted brain. When the merchant by unrelaxing labor, gets ta- tooed with diseasemthough he may build a fortune upon the fragments of a broken con- stitutionwwe know that he has reared [it upon the broken commandments of God, written in letters of blood upon columns of bones. b a O C 4 , Giltâ€"Edged Butter. There are at least two dairymen and but- ter-makers in the neighborhood of Philadel- hia who always sell their butter at one dol~ or a pound, and can not supply all who do- siro to be their customers. One of these at- tributes his success to three points~good food to his cows, uniform temperature of 58 degrees in the milk-room, and neatncss, cleanliness and dainty nicety at every step from the time when the milk is obtained un- til the dollar is paid for the pound of butter. He feeds his cows often, and not much at a time, on white clover ' and early-mown meadow hay, which he cuts fine, moistens, and mixes with Wheaten shorts. Pastures and meadows are kept quite free from weeds. The milk-room is kept at a temperature of 58 degrees by flowing spriiig-water.â€"P/u'la. delplu'a Ledger. >~9~< said John Henry’s hopeful, “SAY, p0 ,” ' the other (lily, “wasn’t it the prince of whales that swallowed Jonah?” And John patted his head, and gave him a nickel, and told him he might some day be an alderman ; and then he put on his slippers, and found a small chestnut-bur in each toe, he took that boy over his knee and wrestled with him.~ Cincinneté Times” Mr. S.

A MIRACLE has been wrought by nature in the village of \Voonsocket, Iihode Island. Frederick Luke suddenly became mute over twenty ears ago when he was still a youth. He rapi ly fell into a decline, and the phy- sicians gave him only a few months to live. He lingered on from year to year, however, and since 1872 a' gradual improvement in his health has been perceptible. A few days ago he joyfully came to his mother and arti- culated some words, instead of speaking in signs to her as he had done for twenty years. His power of speech is rapidly gaming, and some of the most distinguished physicnins of Rhode Island are about to investigate this remarkable case. from the Tuilcries, the provisional govern- ment been organized under Trochu. All Paris was in a state of wild alarm, and the Prussian armies were steadily making their way toward the city, investing one point after another, and rapidly cutting off all com- munication between the besieged city and the surrounding country. Winter was com- ing on; food and fuel becomin scarce; business was entirely suspended; t e boule- vards were filled with idle, aimless loungers, gazing with sad and hungry eyes 11 on the long defilcs of troops that marchc before them. The heavy rumble of the artillery wa rons echoed through the streets, and the am ulances formed a sad procession, with their terrible suggestions of the dead and wounded for whose conveyance they were reparcd. The air was heavy with sadness ; ’aris shuddered at the thought of the suffer- ing that it must encounter, and a bitter wail arose from the lips of the poor. Into the quiet and aristocratic precincts of the Faubourg St. Honoré the grim ghosts of famine and bloodshed had not made their way, and the luxurious entresol of the fash- ionable liOtel where Ninon, the gay little CURIOUS SONG OF A LOVED. TO HIS boyish form of the young officer, with hisI untarnished uniform and unused sword, ap- peared no more among her guests. And when she found that he did not come, Ninon began to miss him. At first she smiled at his absence, then insensibe she began to watch for his coming, and as the days passed one .after another, Ninon grew anxious. Sometimes she would sit alone in the twilight mthe lonely little baroncss, rich in every thing but love-fiend the sweet 1i s wOuld murmur, “At least he loved me, e bébé 3” Then a deep far-off look would come into the brilliant eyes. “ \Vliere is the prince ‘3” It was the evening of the 29th of November. N inon was sitting alone, watchin the slow motions of the hands of the cloc as they pointed to eleven, when a quick, hurried tread sounded behind the chair, and the clanking of a sword startled her. “Armand !" she exclaimed, as she turned and encountered the excited glance of the young soldier. ' “ es, Ninon. At last Paris is roused. 'l'o-Inorrow there will be a grand sortie. The order has been given. With a hundred thousand men we shall leave Paris, march upon Champiguy~0n to Villiers. Ducrot has sworn to re-enter Paris ‘ only victorious or dead.’ I have come to say good-by. Be- fore to-morrow night Prussian ball or bayonet may have quieted forever the heart that loves you so passionately. Kiss me, Ninon; say ‘God bless you !’ ” Then he sank down at her feet, and laid his head upon the little hands that rested on her knee. Ninon lifted the brown hair from the fair young forehead; a moment her lips rested there, and she murmured, “ God bless you, my Armand l" Then he pressed her for a moment passionately against his heart, and left her. In the morning the troops were in motion. Paris thronged the streets and crowded the windows on each side to watch the sad pro- cession as it passed. Cheer after cheer rent the air ; “ Vive la France 1” “ Ala Victoire l” sounded from the throats of the lookers»0n as the lon defile wound its way to the gates. The we l-drilled men marched silently along, their countenances grave and severe. They were about to make a last effort for Parisâ€" for France. “’ith stern and set determina- tion they moved forward, looking neither to right nor left lest the sorrowful faces of the women they loved should unnerve their hearts and unsteady their hands. After them followed the artillery, the wagons loaded with provisions, andâ€"wk, the sickening sight! ~the ambulances that would convey so many of the brave men now leaving the city with buoyant tread back arrain within its walls, wounded, helpless, and dying. At the head of his company rode Armand de Rochecoeur. \Vith head erect, and lips firmly compressed to avoid their trembling, he led his men past the windows of the boule- vard where Ninon do Valcour stood watching the exit of the troops from the city. He did bridal rein shook as the heavy tread of his powerful horse bore him slowly beyond the o Baronne de Valcour, took up her usual abode during the gay Parisian winters, was all alight with sunshine and flowers. Ninon herself was the dullest thing amidst all the brilliant glitter 0f ormolu, gliding, and look- ing-glass. She was leaning back in her cushioned fautcuil, with the toes of her slippers extended toward the fire and her head thrown back wearily, looking the very personification of ennui. “\Vould madame eat her breakfast ?” iii- ( uires Fifine, with solicitude, as she arranges t 1e inevitable rolls and coffee on a. small table by her mistress’s side. Ninon opens her eyes and shuts them again, and the coffee grows cold. Fifine knows her fate. If this cup of coffee is spoiled, in ha]! an hour she will be called upon to prepare a fresh one, so Fifine ventures another suggestion. “ Madame has no appetite ?” “ Fifine, you bother me. Go away.” Fifine departs, but returns again in the space of two minutes. “ Madame, voici monsicur.” . Madame turns her pretty little head and takes a comprehensive glance at the tall youn officer in the. uniform of the National Guar who enters the salon, and makes his way to her side. “ The Prussians have not eaten you up yet 7” inquires Ninon, with a yawn she does not take the smallest pains to conceal. “ Not yet. Would it be a great source of relief to madame if such an event were to take lace?” “ Igather. " “ Don’t you care for me at all, Ninon ‘t” “ Don’t be silly, my child. Tell me what his Excellency General Trochu is about, and when you propose to stain that elegant uni- form with Prussian gore.” “ Poor Paris ! The young officer sighed and shook his head. >“ Paris is very niceâ€"all but the Prussians, and no one is giving any parties. That an- noys me." ' “ Ninon, are you really as heartless as you scam “I” “ Just about. do '3” “ Tell me you love me, Ninon, just a little. ” “ But I don’t.” The boyish lips trembled, and a great wave of sorrow spread itself over the fair, fresh countenance. Then he knelt down by her side, and a single tear fell on the little hand he stooped to kiss. “ Ninon, Ninon, won’t you love me ‘1" “ You are a great stupid boy, and you must go away, or I shall not eat my break- fast. You are a nice boy, Armand, but you look as if you were going to or .” “ Ninon l” The word soun ed like a cry of pain. Then he kissed her hands again and turned away to leave her. “ I shall not come again, Ninon." Madame 1e Baronne disfigured her pretty mouth with an incredulous little moue, and the door closed upon her boyish lover. Paris in a. state of siegeâ€"a city of tw0 mil- lion inhabitants surrounded by the forces of a powerful enemy, and all supplies cut off? Daily the distress and destitution increased. Famine and disease reaped a Iich harvest among the poorer inhabitants. The short winter days were grim and cold, and the scanty supply of fuel and food grew less and less every hour. The street were filled with a gaunt and hungry crowd of desperate men and despairing women. Eineutes broke out in all parts of the city, and the useless bayo- nets of the National Guard were turned to destroy their own fellow-citizens. The sounds of distress and suffering began to make themselves heard even in the luxuri- ous quarters of the Faubourg St. Honoré, where Ninon dc Valcour wore out her days wailing over the dullness and dreariness of the gay capital. The high prices demanded for the necessaries of life began topcxhaust even the princely De Valcour revenues. The establishment must be reduced, and Baroness Ninon awoke out of her long dream of luxury and laziness to face life for the first time seriously. The days were on ; a dreary Christmas was approaching, and the bitter cold steadily increasing. The wild eyes of the swarming populace grew hungrier and hung‘ricr ; the weak died, and the strong lived only to suffer. Terrible reports of the distress and misery about her made their way to Ninon. Her friends gathered around, but their discourse was only of the horror of the siege. ' . ‘ One among Ninon’s friends was missing,“ the quick, ea or tread of Armand de Roe e- cceur sounder? no more in Ninou’s salon. The \Vhat do you want me to, gaze of the bright eyes that oked down upon him. Quietly Ninon watched him go, steadif she looked after his retreating form. A so is mist clouded the flashing eyes;' and .... the distance hid him from her view she murmured gently, “ Armand, God watch over thee l” All day long, that terrible 30th of N ovem- ber, the incessant roar of cannon echoed bacln’ . into the stillness of thercit ’s streets. held her breath in anguis . Her best, her bravest, and her noblest were fighting for her deliverance, in deadly peril, just outside the city walls. Outside the walls the sickening drama of battle, with all its horrid accompa- niments of tumult, noise, and bloodshed ; inside, the no less horrible torture of suspense, as those left behind waited with blanched faces and bated breath for news from the scene of conflict. Among the foremost in the strife on that terrible morning rode the boyish officer, Armand dc Rochecccur. The pure blood of his Norman ancestry courses wildly throu h his veins to-day. France was his life, and e would give his life for France. His hatred of the plebeian Bonapartes, of the odious republic, were all forgotten when for the first time he found himself face to face with the foreign foe who dared to attack the very cap- ital and strike at the heart of his sacred land of France. Early in the afternoon Champigny yielded to the passionate attack of the fresh French troops. Amazed at their defeat, the Germans fell back to recover from the bewilderment produced by this~almost their firstâ€"reverse. I‘hen, rallying from their surprise, re-enforced with fresh troops and protected by their bat- tcries, they fell upon the French with a sudden fury. Dismayed by the unexpected attack, weary with a long day’s fightin , the half-disciplined French soldiery fell Thick. With a wild feeling, half fury, half despair, Armand saw the line give way. “ Cowards l” he muttered, below his breath. Then, turn- ing suddenly to his men, he cried, “ Cour- age 3 Will you 0 back to your women and tell them you ed before Prussian guns ? On 1 on I Conquer or die like Frenchmen 2” Then he rode forward ; but the terrified, panic-stricken men were deaf to his call, and suffered him to go alone. lVith his right arm uplifted he rushed toward the Prussian line. \Vith the c still on his lips, a frag- ment of shell struc ' the powerful right arm, shattered it as if it were the rotten branch of a tree, and tore its way across the fair boyish forehead, just above the eyes. Prone on the ground lay the powerful form of the young officer. A cry of admiration rose from the lips of the men behind him. Then they turned and fled, and left him to his fate. The evening shadows fell over the battle» plain, quieting the noise and strife ; the fighting ceased. The Prussian guns were si- lent, and the French troops retired sullenly back towards Paris. On the battle-field dusky forms came flitting about. \Vith sable uniforms, relieved only by the red cross of Geneva, they went silently about on their merciful errands. Two of these ministering spirits bend over the form of Armand dc Rochecmur. “Dead? Poor follow I” asks one. “ No, he breathes.” Then they lift him gently upon the ambulance, and the brave young officer, who rode out from the gates of Paris that morning full of life and health and courage, is born back again blind, maimed, the light gone out from his eyes forever, and the powerful form with its strength and beauty forever crippled. They lay him on a narrow bed in a crowded hospi. to]. The gentle hands of a Sister of Charity dress the terrible wounds, and as she looks at him she murmurs, pityingly, “ Poor fel< low, he is blind.” . Ninon has listened all day to the sound of that terrible cannonading, waited all night in fri htened suspense for news from the scene of attle~for tidings from Armand de Roche- coeur. In the morning no word has come, and the suspense grows more and more in- tolerable every moment. Dark circles have appeared under the brown eyes, and their brilliancy is all faded, gone out in that long night of watching. Restlessly Ninon paces the long salon. Finally a. sudden impulse seizes her. “ I will go and find him.” It is a long and weary search. They direct her from one place to another. The streets are filled with a hurrying crowd, each one intent upon his own affairs, and it is long before she can find any who can tell her where to look for him. At last they direct her to the hospital where he is lying. Ninon passes between the long rows of beds, sees the suffering faces of the men that fill them, listens to the groans of the suffering and dy- not turn his head, but the hand that held the his Cheek pets, “ Armand, my prince, I love you. "â€"~- '2) ing, and the tears fill her eyes and roll down her blanching cheeks. “ It is too much for madame to witness,” suggests a young sur- geon. “No, no ; if they must suffer it, why should I not witness it,” and the spoiled child of luxury braces up her nerves, and Igoes on to meet the sorrow that lies before fer. She finds him at last. As she a preaches his bedside she trembles. She looks at the white baudaocs that lie 11 on his eyes, and shudders. Then she spea s to him, and the USEFUL RECEIPTS. STOVE luster, when mixed with turpentine and applied in the usual manner, is blacker, more glossy, and more durable than when mixed with any other liquid. The turpentine prevents rust, and when put on an old rusty stove will make it look as well as new. NEVER put a particle of soap near your silver if you would have it retain its original luster. When it wants polish take a piece of soft leather and whiting and rub hard. The proprietor in one of the oldest silver estab- lishments in Philadelphia says that “house- keepers ruin their silver by washing it in soap suds, as it makes it look like pewter.” BREAD-AN D-BU’I'FER PUDDINc.â€"-â€"Cut thin slices of bread-and-butter according to the size of the dish the pudding is to be made in.

THE Quebec Artizaus’ Permanent Building Society have in View a project of erectingr houses in various parts of the city, and have had plans prepared for several styles of buildings. These houses will be rented to members of the Society only on favorable terms. DURING the past year there have been 417 murders in France, besides 25 attempts at murder. In connection with these crimes twenty-five persons were condemned to death, of whom eight were pardoned. Thus for each execution which has taken place, of candied peel, and.so on alternately, till the dish is full. Beat up four eggs, and one and a-lialf pint of milk with sugar and nutmeg to taste; pour over the bread-and-butter, and lad smile that lifts across his lips reâ€"assures ier. His single hand goes out to meet hers, and he tries to speak. A warning gesture from the nurse attracts Ninon’s attention, and she whispers, “ Do not talk, Armand. You must get well first.” From an old soldier who watches over him Ninon learns the history of the sortie. As she listens to the story of how bravely the young soldier bore himself on that dreadful day, and how he fell when, goaded to fury by the dcsertion of his men, he rushed for- ward alone upon the Prussian lines, Ninou’s heart swells with a new and sweet emotion. The lovely mouth wears its ha piest smile. There is a look of newly found lappiness in the brown eyes. Suddenly they fill with tears, and the little lips murmur softly, “ I have found him, my rince." Then the Sister of Charity comes and whis- pers gently and pitingly, " Madame, he will )6 blind.” All the horror contained in that dreadful sentence sink into Ninon’s soul, and with a voice whose utterance is choked with sobs she cries out, “Armand, my love 3 God help you I” Then she lifts her tear-stained face, lit up with its wonderful light of love and pity, and looking at the sympathetic countenance of the poor Sister, whispers, “ He shall see with my eyes.” The Sister looks into the depth of the love- ly eyes raised to hers, and thinks, “He is not so much to be pitied, the brave man." Through long nights of fever and days of weary restlessness Ninon watches by her lover’s side. Strength returns to the crippled body, but the sorrowful eyes wear always that helpless, vacant expression peculiar to the blind, and the strong right arm is repre- senttxl only by an empty sleeve. He is not forbidden to speak now ; and one do. as he hears Ninon’s footstep by his bedâ€" si e, and the soft rustle of her dress as she bends over him, he says, “You are always with me, Ninon, are you not, or do I dream it '3” “ I am always with you, Armand." “ What brings you here ‘3" “ Because I love you, dear." “ Love me ?â€"but 1 am a cripple and blind.

True Sea Stories. of Peril, Suflering and Death. ]From the N. Y. Sun] "A‘s showing the perils. that the pilot en- counters in long ocean voyages, especially in the winter, the following extract from the log of the Abram Leygett, No. 4 describing the experience of her last trip is pertinent : “ Left Monday, Jan. 24, and sailed directl east 275 miles. On \Vednesday, Feb. 2, were between the Georgia and Nantucket shoals, and a heavy gale was blowing from the south- west. It rained fiercely and the storm steadily increased. At six o’clock the gale was at its height ; the sea was lifted up in mountain waves that swept clean over the deck. The boat was thrown upon her side, and everything was rolled hither and thither. It was impossible to stay below on account of the terrible rolling. The stove was upturned and a kettle of boiling water was borne clear across the cabin. Once the bed clothes of one of the bunks were thrown across the cabin and landed in the opposite bunk without touching the floor. The fore- sail was blown into strings, and the forcstorm trysail was carried away, and water poured down the hatchways. At one time, while three sailors were working in the bow, at tre- mendous storm caught the boat and threw her on her beams ends. She was almost en- tirely under, and her masts whipped the water. She lay still for nearly five minutes, and none of the sailors ever expected that she would ever come up. Her buoyness and staunclmess alone saved her, and she came slowly out of the billows and righted. The sailors who were in the bow as she went over hung to the ropes ; they stood upright on the masts, which lay flat upon the sea. The storm’continued until midnight, and the ba- rometer was lower than was ever noticed be- fore in the experience of the beat. No one could sleep until the tem est abated. 0n next day it was a dead ca m.” The Pet, No. 9, was off Nantucket shoals in the same gale, and had a. similar expe- rience. “ She liked to have spilt us all over- board," said one of the pilots. “ She could carry only her staysails, and we expected that at any moment those would be blown away. The main boom was carried away, the bulwarks were stove in, one yawl was smashed and the other was driven overboard. The cannon got loose, and, rushing u and down the floor of the cabin, smashc the woodwork into splinters before it could be secured.” Such storms are encountered many times each winter by pilot boats, and almost every winter one or more of the crafts go down at sea, or are wrecked on the coast. Between twenty-five and. thirty have been lost within twenty-five years, and many pilots have thereby perished. Among the most notable of these disasters was the loss of the E. K. Collins, which went ashore on Fire Island on Jan. 10, 1856, in dense darkness, and amid the blinding sleet of one of the most tempes- tuous gales that ever swept the Atlantic. The cold was so intense that four of the crew fell frozen on the cabin floor from their seats in the companion way and died. One man was on the frozen wreck for thirty-two hours be. fore he was rescued, and most of the time he was up to his armpits in the water that half filled the cabin. \Vhen he was taken off his hands were so swollen by the frost that they burst open. The loss of the chi John Minturn, and the death of her pilot, T omas Freeborn, is an instance of heroism and of the terrors of the ocean. In the gale of the night of Feb. 15, 1846, that scattered the Atlantic coast with wrecks, the Mintm-n was hurled with a crash on shore. Out of the 28 persons on board, fourteen were lost ; and among them was pilot Freeborn. He stood bravely at his post, and gave up his life with his trust. Another instance of daring was the act of pilot Robert Mitchell, who lost his life in the same storm that wrecked the Collins. He stood on the bridge of the ship Stingray, in the face of the icy storm, until he dropped, frozen. Several pilot boats have been rim down at sea in thick weather by steamers. Some have one down with all hands, leaving no record of their fate. Of 130 pilots at 25 years of age, but two per cent. reach the age of 60, while of that number in ordinary avo- cations, 60 per cent. reach that age. bake one hour.
