A WoNAN's DopGE IL RorTERDAN.-l had
not gone far in my rambles about the city be-
fore was brought to a stand by discovery.
the center OF almost every window OF the
dwelling houses each at an angle of 10 degrees
with the window were placed two mirrors OF a.
bout foot square, each in vertical position.
one facing up the street and the other down.
immediately set my Yankee ingenuity to
work to ssguess' their object, and was not long
in discovering in these mirrors, plain indica-
tions that here, in this great swamp OF Europe,
woman's curiosity is the same as among yer-
dant hills and more genial climes- The mis-
tress of the house seating herself in her parlor
in particular spot before a window with
book, needle or knitting work in hand, has but
TO lift her eyes into the twin looking glasses
outside her window in order to catch at glance
the whole panorama of the street in both di-
rections. There was also another queer look
ing glass arrangement which, for long time
puzzled me. The puzzle grew out OF the Pc
culiar positions and various angles at which
these mirrors were placed. | was about CIV
ing it up, when, observing that their inciina-
tion was always decidedly towards the front
door, saw the whole secret as clear as light.
The good lady OF the house, hearing the door
bell ring, darts look into the curious mirror,
and thereby knows in moment who stand at
the door. OF course when the door servant
comes in, her ladyship can at once say wheth-
er she is at home or not. In all the cities OF
Holland nearly every dwelling house has pro-
jecting from its windows from one 10 ten OF
these ugly looking mirrors.

The WONDERS OF LIGHT.-Not only does
light fly from the grand s.ruler of the day."
with a velocity which is million and a balf
times greater than the speed of cannon ball,
but it darts from every rejecting surface with
like velocity, and reaches the tender struc-
ture of the eye so gently, that, as 1t falls upon
the little curtain of nerves Which is there
spread to receive it, it imparts the most pleas
ing sensations, and tells its story of the outer
world with a minuteness of detail and holi-
ness of truth. Philosophers once sought to
weigh the sunbeam. They constructed a most
delicate balance, and suddenly let in upon it a
beam of light; the lever Of the balance was
so delicately hung that the fluttering OF fly
would have disturbed it. Everything prepared,
the grave men took their places, and with keen
eyes watched the result. The sunbeam that
was to decide the experiment had left the sun
eight minutes prior, to pass the ordeal. 1t
had flown through ninety five millions of miles
of space in that short measure of time, and il
shot upon the balance with unabated velocity.
But the lever moved not and the philoso-
piers were mute.

LIGHT LITERATURE.-The catalogue of the
New York Publishers Association contains
list of twenty-four different biographies OF
notorious highwaymen, pickpockets and bur-
glars, and fourteen stories of New l ork HE,
such as is usually seen at the Five Points and
other similar delectable and moral localities.
These are called ssthe most saleabie DOCKS IN
the market. ''and the fact appears to be the
only that the conscientious publishers regard
as worth their consideration. The proilts to
the business from the sales OF such books
imposes proportionate tax upon the State
for the maintenance of penitentiaries and
other public institutions Of penal character.

SIZE CAME AN ANGEL BRIGHT TO ME

She came an angel bright to me,
When hope and peace lay wreek'd
Cpon Life's dark and stormy sea,
BY Sorrow and egleet;,
She seem d to me in my distress
a spirit from above
She Allied my soul with tenderness.
And won my heart to love
She told me OF a peaceful shore
Where joys for ever reign;
She bade me sigh and fear no more.
And brought me peace again;
Since then I've pass thro' many gales,
Seen life in toughest form.
Nor knew despair, for size was there,
Ny angel in the storm

COMET OF 1S5S.-This remarkable comet,
says the Albany Argus, is now visible TO the
naked eye, predicted by DR.. Gould some
weeks ago. 1t is now only one hundred and
forty millions of miles distant, and is very
rapidly approaching the earth, and already
shows through common opera-glass well
defined tail. We are told that during the first
week in October the comet will be of the most
striking brightness, possibly the largest of the
century. and at that time will be seen near
Arcturus, perhaps even surprising that bril-
liant star in splendor. 1t is now visible for a.
bout an hour after sunset and an hour before
sunrise, in a line with the two stars called the
Pointers, and forming nearly right angle be-
tween these and Arcturus. 1t is now best
seen at O'Clock in the morning.

THE Water Works of Washington City viii
cost S6,000,000 Unlike the local improve
ments of other cities, the whole people of the
country have to contribute toward this round
sum. And, as if to aggravate the extrava-
gance of the project, those entrusted with the
work send to Europe for the iron to be used
in it.

RATHER FIsHY.-A family named Mackeral
have recently come into possession by chan
cery, in Great Britain, of an estate valued at
FL 100000, left by one Lord Salmon, who
died without an heir. The Lord Chancellor
decided that as there were no more Salmons,
the largest family of Mackerals should inherit
the fortune.

DcceRcy is matter of latitude. In Turkey
a man with tight pants on is considered so
great a vulgarian that he is not tolerated in
respectable society. To spit in presence of
an : rab is to make the acquaintance of his
cheese knife. In Russia that man is consid-
cred low who refuses warm breakfast of fried
candles. In this country, vulgar people
are such as keep good hours and live within
their income.

A PHANTOM GUSNER.-Knife, London ar
tist, has succeeded in photographing an ex-
ploding she'll. The view is taken as the shell
emerges from the smoke, and shows three
eighths of an inch of its track. 1t is curious
that in every instance, there is in the smoke
about the she'll phantom human head, not
visible to the eye, but quite distinct in the
photograph. 1t is, no doubt, the reflection of
the shadow of the gunner.

A LAw-ABIDISG PEoPLE.-The citizens of
Milwaukee are the most law abiding people in
the world. We asked one of them why so
many people were drowned in their river, and
he replied that it was on account of an ordi-
nance of the city, which forbids swimming
within the city limits. When one of them
slipped in, he .recaled the ordinance at once,
and rather than violate it, went cheerfuliy TO
the bottom without a struggle.

Young man! keep your eyes open when you
are after woman. If you bite at the naked
hook, you are green. Is pretty dress or form
so attractive, or even a pretty face Floun-
ces, boys, are no sort of consequence. a
pretty face will grow old. Paint will wash Off.
The sweet smile of the flrt will give way TO
the scowl of the termagant. The coquette
will SHINE in the kitchen corner, and with the
once sparkling eyes and beaming countcnance
will look Gaggers at you. Beware! If the
dear is cross, and scolds at her mother in the
back room, you may be sure you'll get partic-
ultes fits all over the house. If she bushes
when found at the wash-tub, with her sleeves
rolled up be sure she is of the dishrag aris-
tocracy-little knowledge and good deal less
sense. If you marry girl who knows moth
ing but to commit woman slaughter the
piano, you have got the poorest piece of mu-
sic ever got up. Find one whose mind is
right, then pitch in.

ANOTHER NoMEArios-We have com.
munication from "Taxahaw," intended for
last weeks issue, but received 100 late, nom.
mating Joseph Clarke, Esq, rs n suitable
representative from this District TO the Leg
islature. The election being so near at
hand, we have deemed it useless to insert it
now, and can only express regret ut its de-
lay.
Ii is the custom Of the majority Of our
exchanges to charge at advertising rates,
recommendations for Offices of honor or
profit and also for the reply of the compli-
mented individual. We have lately e1pe-
rienced the necessity for such rule. These
nominations are often made with the view
to personal compliment, without any notion
that the person will accept, and when thus
made, or when carried to excess, they me-
cessarily fail to be source of general inter-
est.
