LANGUAaE.-The least learned are
aware that there are many languages
in the world, but the actual number is
probably beyond the dreams of ordinary
people. The geographer, Babi, emu
merates eight hundred and sixty, which
are entitled to be considered as distinct
languages, and five thousand which may
be regarded as dialects. Adelung, an
other modern writer on this subject,
reckons up three thousand and sixty
four languages and dialects existing,
and which have existed. Even after
we have allowed either of these as the
number Of languages, We must &C
knowledge the existence Of almost
infinite minor diyersities for almost
every province has tongue more or
less peculiar, and this we may we'll be-
lieye to be the case throughout the
world at large. It is said there are
little islands lying close together in the
South Sea, the inhabitants of which do
not understand each other. OF the
eight hundred and sixty distinct Ian
guages enumerated by Babi, fifty three
belong to Europe, one hundred and
fourteen to Africa, one hundred and
twenty-three to Asia, four hundred and
seventy to America, one hundred and
seventeen to Oceanica, by which term
he distinguishes the vast number of
islands stretching between Hindoostan
and South America.

TRUE.-A French writer, in describ-
ing the condition Of women in France,
thus speaks of their wretchedness
Daughters-no public education for
them, no professional tuition, no pos
slble life without marriage, no marriage
without dowry. Wives they do not
legally possess their property, they do
not possess their persons, they cannot
give, they cannot receive, they are un-
der the ban Of an eternal prohibition.
Mothers-they have not the legal right
to direc:th education Of their children,
they can not marry them, nor prevent
their being married, nor exile them
from the paternal abode, nor keep them
there. Members Of the commonwealth
they have no power to be guardians
Of other orphans than their own sons,
Of their grandsons, nor to take part in
a family council, nor to witness they
have not the right to testify in the
State to the birth Of child. Among
the working people what class is most
wretched? Women. who are they
that earn from sixteen to eighteen sous
for twelve hours Of labor? Women.
Upon whom falls all the expense Of
illegitimate children Upon the women.
Who bear all the disgrace Of faults
committed from love? Women.

GoD's PLAN OF YOUR LIFE.-Never
complain Of your birth, your employ
ment, your hardships ; never fancy that
you could be something, if only you
had different lot and sphere assigned
you. God understands his own plan,
and he knows what you want great
deal better than you do. The very
things that you most deprecase as fatal
limitations or distractions, are prcba-
bly, what you most want. What you
call hindrances, obstacles, discourage
ments, are probably Gods opportuni-
ties and it is nothing new that the
patient should dislike his medicines, or
any certain proof that they are poisons.
No! a truce to all such impatience -
Choke that devilish envy which guaws
at your heart because you are not in
the same lot with others bring down
your soul, or rather, bring it up to re-
ceiyo Gods will, and do his work, in
your lot, in hour sphere, under your
cloud eff obscurity, against your temp
tations and then you shall find that
your condition is never opposed to your
good, but really consistent with it.

CosrA RIGA REVOLUTION ENDED
The recently attempted revolution in
Costa Rica has terminated dssastrously
to the rsyolutionists led by President
Mora, General Canas, and Col. Aran-
cibia. They were repulsed by greatly
superior numbers, and mostly taken
prisoners. President Mora and two
others gave themselves up after having
laid thirty-six hours in a pool Of water
and mire under house. A court mar
tial sentenced Mora, Canas and Aran-
cibia to be shot, and they were executed
accordingly, meeting death perfectly
cain and cool, Gen. Canas smoking his
cigarette till he fell pierced by dozen
balls. Mora was a man Of mark, and
his violent death was the last act Of as
bloody tragedy as Central America

FACTS ABOUT THE KoRAN.-The Ko-
ran was written about A. D. 610. Its
general aim was to unite the professors
Of idolatry, and the Jews, and the
Christians, in the worship Of one God
whose unity wa5 the chief point in
culcated- under Ger ain laws and cere-
monies, exacting obedience to Moham-
med as a prophet. It was written in the
Koreish arabic, and this language,
which certainly possessed every fine
quality, WAS said to be that Of Paradise.
Slohamme1 asserted that the Koran
was revealed to him, during period
of twenty, three years, By the angel
Gabriel. The style Of the volume is
beautiful, fluent, and concise /; and
where the majesty and attributes Of
God are described, il is sometimes sub
lime. Aohamrned admitted the divine
mission both Of Moses and Of Jesus
Christ. According to Gibbon, the
leading article Of faith which Moham-
med preached is compounded OF an eter-
nal truth and q fiction, namely, that
there is only one God, and that Mo-
manned is the apostle Of God. The
Koran was translated into Latin in
1143, and into English and Europe an
languages about 1852. It is a rhap-
sody Of 5000 verses divided into ia
sections.

full desert which can be placed on the

The FALSE AND GENUINE MAN OF
HoNoR.-The distinction, says the
New Youk Saturday Press, between
the genuine and the spurious "man of
honor'' is simply this: That the latter
is watchful lest you in some way injure,
insult, or defraud him while the for
mer is watchful lest he in some way in
jure, insult, or defraud you. Hence,
the one has all the constituencies and
delicacy Of a gentleman, while the
other has all the courseness and heart
iessness Of a bully.

THE LITTLE OUTcAsT.-s'Mayn't
stay, ma'am? pll do anything you
give me-cus wood, go after water, and
do all your errands."
The troubled eyes of the speaker
filed with tears. It was a lad that
stood at the outer door, pleading with
a kindly looking woman, who still
seem TO doubt his good intentions.
The cottage sat by itself on bleak
moor, or what in Scotland would have
been, called such. Ehe time was near
the end Of November, a fierce wind
ratified the boughs Of the only naked
tree near the house, and fed with a
shiyering sound into the narrow door
way, as If seeking for warmth at the
blazing FIRE within.
Now and then snowflake touched,
with its soft chill, the cheek of the lis
.tener, or whitened the angry redness of
the poor boys benumbed hands.
The woman was evidently 10th to
grant the boys request, and the pecu-
liar look stamped upon his features,
would have suggested to any mind an
idea of depravity far beyond his years.
But her mothers heart could not re-
sist the sorrow in those large, but not
handsome grey eyes.
"Come in, at any rate, till the guide
man comes home; there, sit down by
the fire, you look perishing with cold.''
And she drew rude chair up to the
warmest corner. then, suspiciously
CHANGING at the child from the corners
of her eyes, she continued setting the
table fer supper.
Presently came the tramp Of heavy
shoes, the door swung open with quick
Jerk, and the "gentleman'' presented
himself, weary with labor.
a look ofintelIigence passed between
his wife and himself-he, too, scannec
the boys face with an expression no
evincing satisfaction, but, nevertheless
made him come to the table, and ther
enjoyed the zess with which he dis
patched his supper.
Day after day passed, and yet tht
boy begged to be kept ''only till to-
morrow )" so the good couple after aut
consideration, concluded that so Ions
as he was docile, and worked so heart
lily, they would retain him.

4 Great Medicine for Females.

Hundreds of stimulants have been invent
cd and sold, purporting TO be specific in the
various diseases and arrangements TO which
the delicate form Of woman render her sub
ject. The result of all these stimulants has
been to impart naomentary act tirity to the ner
UoLs SYSTEM, and false vigOr to the muscles;
bet this relief has been succeeded by depres
sion and prostration greater than before; and
the repeated attempts OF Ipvalids to build
themselves up by these false remedies. have
finally ended in destroying what little vital
organization was left. But in usiBg "Boer-
haues HotLand Bitters." you will find no such
disastrous results. 1t is purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific prin-
ciples, after the manner Of the celebrated
Holland Professor BOerhaYe. Under Its in
fuence, every nerve and muscle receives new
strength and vigOr, appetite and sleep return,
and finally, perfect health.
