ModestY.

True modesty is discerning grace,
And only bushes in the proper place;
But counterfeit is blind and slsulks through fear.
Where It's shame to 5e ashamed t. appear;
Humility the Parent Of the first,
Inc last by vanity produced and nursed.

PRosAIo TRAyELERs.-Let people travel
not FOR show and reputation, but for enjoy
ment. Let them cease to identify travel
with the French travail. The eye knows
the food that agrees with it as well as the
palate, and forcing on it what it does not
seek produces aesthetic indigestion. If a
man has no eye for art, let him confess it to
himself at least, if he do not spread it
abroad to the world, and let him select the
pursuit that will give him the most enjoy
ment, instead Of wearing out his eyesight,
his patience, and his legs, by rushing
through long stretches Of picture and statue
galleries. If he can only enjoy good field
of beans, and meadow with a prize OK in
it, Why should he render himself miserable
among cataracts and precipicesi A man
of no small celebrity, whose chosen field Of
inquiry and enjoyment was among animals,
when he arrived at Rome, went forthwith
to the pig market, and was not only able 10
see something new and interesting to him
self, but also to impart some fresh unhack-
neyed sketches to the world. I know
man much interested in manufactures. an
able and benevolent man, who has done a
deal toward the civilization and education
of the manufacturing population He
travelled in Switzerland once, carefully
auoiding all the grand scenery, but exam
ining with minute interest the turkey-red
calico works and the mandatory schools
You might have supposed from his talk,
when he returned, that Switzerland was a
fiat uninteresting country, conspicuous
chiefly for its manufactures and its educa-
tional establishments - Black1cood Mag.

Character of the English Peasantry.

Character Of the English Reasantry.
Hodge is now growing up into a tall, long,
smock-frocked, straw-hatted ankle-booted fell
low, with a gait as graceful as one of his own
plough-bullocks. He has grown up and gone to
service; and there he is as eimple. as ignorant
and as laborious creature as one Of the wagon
horses he drives The mechanic sees his weekly
newspaper over his pot and pipe; but the clod-
hopper, the chop-stck, the hawbuck, the hind,
and the Johnny raw, or by whatever name, in
whatever district he may be called is everywhere
the same. He sees no newspaper; and if he did
he could not read t-and if he hears his master
reading it, ten to one he drops asleep over it. In
fact, he has no interest in it. He knows there is
such place as the next town. for he goes there
to the statutes and to the fair; and he has heard
of Lunnon and the French and Of Boaaparte,
and of the late years of America and he has some
dreaming notion that be would like to go there.
if he could raise the wind and thought he conld
find the way; and that is all he knows Of the
globe and its concerns, beyond his fields. The
mechanic has his library, and he reads and finds
he has a mind, and hundred tastes and pleas
ures that he never dreamed of before. The clod-
hopper has no library, and if be had books in his
present state they would be to him only so many
things set on end upon shelves. He is as much
an animal as air and exercise, strong living and
sound sleeping can make him; and he is nothing

A MAN STOPPING HIS HEART BY HIS OWN WILL.
From an article on the Heart, by Isaac Ashe,
B. A. T. C. D., L. NJ, in The Popular Science
Review, we take the following extract:
This four chambered heart is a muscle and acts
by means of muscular force. What the agent
may be which irritates this muscle and so causes
it to contract, has been a subject of much discus
sion but it is now generally considered that this
agent is oxygen, which is received into the blood
in the lungs, and stimulates the muscular con-
tractility of the heart through the nerves of the
organ ! his muscular action Of the heart is al
most entirely beyond the control of the will, as
indeed are all the vital actions of the body; yet
instances have been related of persons who we're
able to stop the hearts action at will, and in one
case where this experiment was carried too far,
and the individual died by mere act of his own
will On the other hand, the heart will continue
its regular pulsatons for long time after its re-
moval from the body, and Of course the death of
the anima and the lower creature in the scale O
creation, tee longer will this action continues SO
that the heart of a sturgeon will continue to beat
as long as twentyfour hours after its removal from
the creature.

THE AMERICAN AND ENGLIsHNIAN.-
American, though he dresses like an Englisbman
and eats roast beef with a silver fork, or some
times with a steel knife, as does an Englishman
is not like an Eng glishman in his mind, in his as
pirations, in his tastes or his politics. In his
mind he is quicker, more universally intelligent
more ambitious of general knowledge less indul
gent of stupidity and ignorance in others, harder
sharper, brighter with the surface brightness of
steel. than is the Englishrnan; but he is more
brittle, less enduring, less maleabe, and think
less capable of impressions. The mind of the
Englishman has more Imagination, but that of
the American more incision. The American is
great observer, but he observes things material
rather than things social or picturesque He is
a constant and ready speculator; but all specua-
tions-even those which come of philosophy
with him more or less material. In his aspira-
tions the American is more constant than an
Englishman, or l should rather say be is more
constant in aspiring. Every citizen of the Uni
ted States intends to do something every one
thinks himself capable of some effort but in his
aspirations he is more limited than an English
man. The ambitious American never scars so
high as the ambitious Englishman; he does not
even see up to so great height, and when he has
raised himself somewhat above the crowd, be-
comes sooner dizzy with his own altitude. An
American of mark, though always anxious to
show his mark, is always fearful of falL-.4n-

OLD BUrTER.-A French journal tells this
story; 'In 1914 woman of Cussy, being sur
prised by the Cossacks, concealed crock of fresh
butter which she did not want them to have, in a
field near her house. After the departure of the
foreign visitors she endeavored to find the exact
spot in which the butter was concealed. but did
not succeed, and after awhile the whole matter
was forgotten. Last week some workmen dig
ging the foundations of house came upon the
pot in question, and on opening what they ex-
pected to be treasure, discovered the butter as
white and firm as when buried forty-eight years
before. Since exposure TO the air, it has, howev-
er, acquired an extsemely rank taste.

How TO AVOID BEING DRArTED.-One day in
the last week. an adroit speculator, calculating on
the fears a well as the curiosity of those liable to
military service, advertised in one of our city pa
pers that, in consideration of the sum of one dol
lar, sent to him by post at certain given address,
he would directly communicate an infallible meth
cd by which each person receiving this valuable
information could avoid the draft As many as
four hundred letters, each enclosing dollar,
reached the ingenious advertiser within twelve
hours In every instance he conscienhously per-
formed his promise, and without delay or evasion,
communicated how to evade the draft. The Sc
cret which is well worth knowing was communi-
Gated in the single word-ENLIsT.
OUTRAGING THE VocABULARY.-Juiius ca
sar, it was sad could add provinces to his empire,
but not a word to the language. Gen. lee, in
his proclamation to the people Of Maryland, offers
them personal freedom and freedom of speech
and the press-toons not in his power to give, as
they are nowhere dispensed by the rebels-and
adds "The government Of your chief city has
been usurped by armed outragers." Unless Gen.
Lee is more powerful than Caesar, he has outraged
the vocabulary of the English languane.-.N. Y.
