The highest style of being at home
grows out of a special state of the af-
fections rather than the intellect. Who
has not met with individuals whose
faces would be passport to any So
ciety, and whose manners, the unstudi-
ed and spontaneous expressions OF the
inner selves, make them yisibly welcome
wherever they go, and attract unbound
ed confidence toward in whatever theX
undertake. They are frank, because
their natures overflow with benevo-
lence; Uniiurred, because they dread
nothing; always at home, because they
carry within themselves that which can
trust to itself anywhere and every.
whelc-purity of soul with flllness OF
health. Such are our best guaranteed
for feeling at home in all society to
which duty takes us and in every oc-
cupation upon which it obliges us To
enter. They who live least for them-
selves are also the least embarrassed
by uncertainties. u

A TRIBUTE TO OLD MAIDs.-In lit
tie work entitled "Our Peculiarities, y
by Viscountess Coaberinere, is the fol-
lowing fine tribute toae1d saaids:
These single women, whom it is the
cant of society to ridicule, may have
often postponed their settlement in life
from the highest motives filial devo-
ton has, perhaps, cngrosscd them so
entirely in early life, that no selfish OBJ
ject diverted them from its holy duties.
1t was sufficient to satisfy affection and
to siipercede' hope; for the devoted,
generous child, from tho intensity of
her love, has felt that the future must
ever be blank, when the interest that
engrosses the present is removed by
death; and this dreary motive to her
tenderness.
Unselfish as woman is under all cir
cumstances, she is here more regardless
of herself than in any other position.
In married life she yields to her hYs-
band, who is her support and compan-
ion until death; to her children she
looks for affection in age; but no con-
sideration OF future happiness or pres
cnt pleasure encourages the patient
daughter as she watches night and day
the invalid mother, or the deereplt Ia
ther. Here is the purest love, unsul-
lied by one sensual thought as to its
origin or object. No instinct prompts
it. no animal impulse strengthens 1t
the holiest feeling that fiji S the human
heart, it yields only in purity to the will
of God.

SHASTA Butte MoUNTAIN.-The COR

greeted with q view of Shasta Butte,
and though hundred miles away, his
snowy summit glittering in the sun
beams seemed almost directly above us.
That summit looks down upon the sur.

LIVING For ONES EAsE.-Henry
Ward Beecher says of those men who
have no care for others, but are con-
tented with looking after their own
ease and enjoyment, that they ought to
be put in coffin, for their life's work
is ended. When God wanted spong-
cs and oysters, he made them, and put
one on arock and the other in the mud.
When he made man, he did not make
him to bc a sponge or an oyster. lie
made him with feet and hands, and
head and heart and vital blood, and D
place to use them, and said: "Go to
work!' But 1 tell you that if a man
has como to that point where he is con-
tent, he ought to be put in the coffin,
for a contented liye man. is a shame.
If a man has come to that point where
he says; 81 do not want to know any
more" he is in state in which he
ought to be changed intp a mummy.

A Wild Beast Fight.

At Saumur, France, there lately oc-
cured a combat between n man and a
hyena in a menagerie, which is thus
described: 40 N @tt ; 'sA . AVN
"The tanner was in a large cage
with lion and hycna. After having
made them go through several per-
formanccs, he gave some meat, as usu-
al, &c Tie two animals, wien suddenly
the lion, animated by the smell of flesh,
threw himself on the hyena, overturned
him, and bit him in the neck. The
savage instincts Of the king OF the des-
ert seemed to be aroused instantly, and
his sinister look inspired the utmost
terror for NJ. Schlnit, the lion tanner
lie did not, hcwcver, lose his courage
for an instant. The first means which
he employed were blows from whip.
A revolver was soon handed TO him,
and with this he discharged several
shots at the lion, which did not in the
least move him, as he still kept his vic
tim between his teeth, and it appeared
almost without life.
Great concern prevailed in the box
cs. Tie Yomep cried, and, perhaps,
the uproar excited the lios. The EN-,
ployees of tho menagerie assembled
around the cage. They passed Il drag
hook to NJ. Schmit, who made it pene-
trate the mouth Of the lion, while some
af them gave the aninal repeated
blows through tho bars. M. Schmit
seized this opportunity to retire into a
ncigbboring cage. dragging with him
the hyena. A door then separated
them from the lion. 1t was time, for,
already furious, he was approaching,
and his mouth being covered with
blood, dashed at the door. NJ. SGhmit
showed himself to. the spectators and
received their congratulations, but he
was pale aud covered with blood
The liycna is grievously wQgHacd, but
it is thought will recover" @

A correspondent of the Providence
Press gives some figures in regard TO
the cost of camp meetings. lie says;
"Let us put the number in attendance
upon this meeting on Sunday last at
10000 people. Let us suppose that the
travelling expenses of those 10000 per-
sons average 93 each; this will foot up
$4,000. Now let it be supposed that
one-half that number average one
weeks stay upon the grounds for each
individual. The price of board is 81
per week. The board of these 5000
people would reach the respectable fig-

HAyING THINGS HANpY.-Under this
head could be comprised many tAingst
but / will only mention few, and
many would probably pursue a different
course but as we are all different In
form and manner, SO in expressions !,
In the first place, to have handy
stumps, that is loose ones, that when
you NOW, you may work up to them,
and only just get off the machine and
move them, and NOW on; when you
take, do the same. Then again in
plowing and narrowing, such stumps
are equally handy.
Itis hanly to have the moving ma
chimes in the meadow, ready for anoth-
er year. We can leave the plows, har-
rows, and horse-rakes in the field ready
for another year. 1t is not always CON,
veniennt to drag these things to the
shed, and then haul them Back to the
same field the next year; it is certainly
more handy to leave them where next
wanted. Now if we only think. OF
these things, we can save many steps
by having things handy.-[Cor. Ohio

ANOTHER GRAND CHICAGO ENTER

ANOTHER GRAND CHICAGO ENTER
PRIsE.-The Chicago Republican, Of
Monday, contains the following; :,
2 Con Saturday morning the bids for
the contract for deepening the Illinois
and Michigan canal from this city to
summit lock No. 2, in order to create
a current in the Chicago river, and thus
purify its waters, were opened by the
board of public works. The plan rec
ommended by the commission Of en-.
gineers and adopted by the Common
Council, provides for the deepening of
the canal between this city and o point
three miles this side of Lockport, so
that the waters of the lake will flow
up the river into the canal, and finally
be. discharged into the Illinois river
At the present time the surface of the
canal, between the points mentioned, is
about eight feet above the level of the
lake. When this excavation shall have
been completed it is calculated that the
current produced in the river will be
at the rate of one mile per hour, and
will prove sufficiently rapid to purge
the channel of all impurities. The es-
timated cost is about $2,000,000. The
increasing width of surface of the ex'
cavation will be given entirely on the
side opposite the .tow-path. The spec
ifit ations also provide that all machine
ry used in making the excavation shall
be so operated as not to interfere with
the navigation Of the canal. The ex'
cavations embrace some 100000 GU
bic yards of earth, some of which con
tain detached rock, and about 100000
cubic yards of stratificd limestone
No award has as yet been made, though
it will probably be done early this
week. Thirty-six bids were received
