REAL SYMPATHY FOR THE Holy FATHER.
The Catholics Of New York seem determined
to show how deeply they sympathize with the

Majesty made suitable reply. The Queen

a line of men of about $50. They were Swiss
preceded by the flag of the Swiss Confedera-
ton. Competition for the prize being open to

know that Providence can and has deprived
men of millions in a day. Their first wish is
to know what his ideas of happiness are. They
know that necessity has reserved many of the
maternal cares to herself, and that some are
better qualified to sbey the old dame than
others Nor do they stand the least in fear if
the old dame should take them in charge
They know she is the mother of invention and
many virtues-that she is the true source of
nobility, and that happiness springs from her
alone-they are not found all over the city
taking an interest in everybody's business but
their own, for they always have their minds
employed. When their husbands return home
from business, they do not open their battery
and pour forth tremendous volley of tongue
about the pet poodle. If he is in a melancholy
mood, she will lead him in poetic strains
through the classic grounds Of Greece, Egypt,
Italy, and lead him to pinnacle of the Alpine
mountains, whore, perchance, Napoleon army
is passing. She disoriminstes between the
commanders Of divisions, brigades, regiments,
battalions, and gives a full history of their
long-suferings, and in an affectionate tone of
voice tells him how thankful she is that he has
not to undergo SO many hardships. Then if he
does not seem to be in better and more pleas
ing mood, she takes her seat at the piano
to discourse some delicious strains of music
until she has erased every frown from her legal
lords brow and banished his sighs with smiles.
lnese sweet and patient daughters of nobility
wise men wish to obtain for companions in life;
not those crinolined firts and empty Drained
plpers that live on discussing others misfor-
times They are like serpents with a pretty
like dainties, but prove to be rank
poison when you are caught in their nets The
lady that has not courage enough to stem the
storm of life is too great a coward to know
what true happiness is, and ought to be con-
demned to play with poodle dogs through
life. Most respectfully,
LUCIOUS PUCIoUs.

SIZE OF THE HUMAN RACE.-The largest circle
OF the terrestrial globe of uniform temperature is
the equator. Those running parallel to this, as
for example, the tropics, polar circle, &C., dimin-
Ism as they approach either pole. The stature of
ine human race, especially that of men, likewise
lessons though not TO the same extent at all from
the equatorial and tropical regions toward the
poles In the warm latitudes are found races of
men OF lafge dimensions dwindling in the cold
regions of the high latitudes, so that II NAV he
amrmed that men grow low in proportion as the
latitude Is high. But women are more uniform in
places where men vary very much in size I'm re-
glons where males are much taller than the aver
age, tne women continue of about the same me-
alum dimensions The fact, too, appears from
hli'oflc monuments, that the size of the race in
general has not varied from the earliest ages and
'nat men and women are now of the same dimen
slons as they were before the period of Moses
Ihis, we suppose, Is amply corroborated by the
evidence afforded by the thousands Of mummies,
which have been recently unrol!ed after living
hidden for thirty and forty centuries, perhaps. in
