RIGurs AND WRoNGs OF WOMEN
When the simple question of superiority
is at issue, the men always have given up.
If ladies and gentlemen meet on the side
walk, who have TO turn out? Ii there
are not seats enough for all the company,
who have to stand up? When there is
danger to face who must 60 forward? If
there is curiosity to crafty, who goes be-
hind? II there is too much company for
the first table who eats at the second p
Who has always the right hand and the
most envidablc position? We could men,
ton a hundred other cases in which, on
the simple question Of right, everything is
yielded to the women. But there are
many cases in which the condition Of men
is still worse. For instance, if on any
public occasion pew at church or seat
anywhere, be occupied by men ever SO
respectable or aged, mirky little beau
ty trips along and presents herself at the
top Of the seat, and then they must all
jump up and run out as if they had been
shot. Especially ought it to be noticed
that when matrimonial negotiations are to
be made, the whole burden of performing
the delicate and often embarrassing part
of making proposals is thrown upon the
men, while the women sit and say no, no,
no, as long as they like, and never say
YES, until they have mind to.-Sun.

stead Of the decimal. c., counted by
twenties instead Of tens. Among the
Esquimaux, the Algonquins, the Choc-
taws, and some other nations and families,
it seems that the primitive method of
counting was by fves. This is what
may be called .fngers-counting; and that
their system Of numbers originated in
counting first the fingers of one hand,
then of both, and finally " both fingers and
toes, is established by the names of the
numerals themselves. The word express
ing the number 5, in the Carib of Esse-
quibo, the Moscan, and some other lam
guages, means one hand; that expressing
10, tyo hands, or both hands; that ex-
pressing 20, a man, i. e. both hands and
feet. In the Esquimaux, 8, and 10 re-
spectively mean the middle, the fourth,
and the little finger. The Peruvians and
Aurucanians had a purely decimal system.
Humboldt has shown that the vigintesi-
NAL system existed in the Basque-that
enigmatical Language, which seems to hold
more and closer afiinities to some of those
of America than any known to have exis-
ted in the Old World.
l was able to procure the numerals
complete only of the Nagrandan dialect or
language. They were:

BE KIND.


Be kind to thy Father-for when thou vert young,
Who loved the so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue
And Joined in thy innocent glee.
Be kind to thy father--for now he is old,
His locks intermngled with gray;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold;
Thy father is passing away.
Be kind to thy Mother-for low on her brow
May traces Of sorrow be seen;
o, well may s., thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kid hath she been.
Remember thy mother-for thee will she pray,
As long as Goo siveth her breath,
With accents Of Kindness along her lone way,
E'en to the dark valley of death.
BE kind to thy brother-hs heart will have dearth,
If the smile of thy JOY be withdrawn;
The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth,
If the dew OF affection be gone.
Be kind to thy brother-wherever you are,
The love of brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far,
Than pearls from the depth Of the sea-
Be kind TO thy Sister-not many may know
The depth of true ssterly love;
The geaiih OF the lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkes above.
Be kind to thy father fearless and bold,
Be kind TO thy mother dear;
Be kind 10 thy brother, nor show thy heart cold,
Be kind 10 thy sister, 50 dear.

FARMING in SwIrzERLASD.-Ale letter
from Switzerland, in the Utica, N. Y.
Gazette says:
The government and people of this
country (Switzerland) are strongly op-
posed to railroads running through any
part OF their rterritory-conseque there
is nothing of the kind. In fact the face
Of the country is very much against them,
and the inhabitants say they would afford
too great facilities for an invading force
to come in upon them.
The farmers here are behind the age
with their farming implements, but they
do Ill that man could do with such tools.
Every foot Of land capable of improves
ment is titled to its utmost capacity.
In some parts Of the country are large
Hocks of sheep. These are sent to the
mountains in the spring of the year under
the care of shepherd and his faithful
dog, and their remain until driven home
by the SHOWS Of winter.
The Swiss work their cows as we do
our oxen-through the day they may be
seen plowing and drawing in hay and
grain, and at night they are milked and
put into stalls and we'll fed. All the
cattle look well, and at night are stalled.
There are no fences to be seen through
the country, and during the day the
young cattle are looked after by boy or
GIRL with dog as assistant.
The farmers dwellings are built much
upon the Prussian plan, that is, the house
and barn are under one roof, so that on a
large farm you see but one building, all
departments of the farm and household
economy being under one patriarchal rof-
tree.

CURIosITIEs OF THE WoR1D's FAIR

CuR1osITIEs OF THE WoRLD's FAIR
A writer in the N. York Tribune says:
Some exceedingly curious clocks, from
Trieste, next solicits our attention. These
clocks are moved by the disengagement
of hydrogen gas, which renews, at stated
times, their winding up. One Of them
goes, Oh single winding for twenty
years, another for thirty, and they may
even be wound up for century, without
alteration in dimension or form. A third
constantly winds itself up by the pres
sure of the atmosphere on quicksilver
applied to the clock itself, and goes,
therefore for an indefinite time.

YANAEE SILLsBEE IN LONDON.

This fun loving individual is in LON
don, and has written a very amusing let
ter to the Detroit. .4duertiser. The fol-
lowing is an extract:
"We roamed with party of others
through the various apartments of the
Tower, and our guide, who was chatty;
talkative little man, frisked about and
showed us every object with a deal Of
gusto. At last he came to the great cam
non and ordinance captured from the en-
emies of various nations.
"This piece" said our little guide with
all the pomp of little Englishman, who
never feels SO happy as when boasting of
their victories, .'this piece is from Wa
terloo. Lord, how we did beat them
there! THIS is from Badajos-this is
from SO and so''-and he ran over the
cannon, dilating on the history of each
with evident satisfaction in every muscle
Of his countenance.
l saw he was highly diverted with rela-
ting the exploits Of his nation, so tho't
| would g bring him to anchor" little,
as the sailors say. All at once looked
carefully about me, turning my head ev-
cry which way, and then looked enqui-
ring at the guide.
What are you looking for, sir, may I
enquire? =? at length said he. "we'v got
trophies from all nations," and he pointed
to number Of interesting specimens,
with their mouths gaping open like hum
CRY bulldogs.
