ABOUT SOUNDS The t-ansmutation OF
sounds is one Of the most curious mysteries Of
the air. A word spoken in the focus OF ond
elipse can be heard in the focus OF an opposite

ciple was oddly illustrated in the great church
OF Agrigentum, in Sicily. The architect

OF Frenchman set out upon an exploring expe

named, providing themselves with bark canvass
and relying chiefly for their subsistence upon
the game. They found at the confluence of
this river with the Mississippi an island thickly

Calling Nicknames.

One of the worst of bad habits which bad
boys indulge in is calling their companions or
other people nicknames. This, when done On
purpose, is very wrong, and often very cruel,
for they mostly indulge their wicked wit on
those who have some bodily infrmly which
they cannot help. We wish to caution the
boys who read this against such conduct for
macy boys who do not wish to be unkind or
cruel may be tempted to do so before they are
aware, Just because there is some fun in it.
Il shall never forget" says one, ian incident
OF my boyhood, by which | was taught to be
careful not to wound the feelings of the unfor-
tunate. A number of us schoolboys were
playing by the roadside on Saturday afternoon,
when the stagecoach drove up TO neighboriDg
inn, and the passengers alighted. As usual,
we gathered around TO observe them. Among
the number was an elderly man, who got out
with much difficulty, and. when out on the
grouDd, he walked with his feet turned one
way and bis knees another, in very awkward
manner. | thoughtlessly shouted-'Look at
old rat,ebones !" The poor old man turned
his head with an expression of pain which |
can never forget
Just then, to my surprise and horror, my
father came round the corner, and, Immediately
stepping up to the stranger, shook bis band
warmly, and assisted bin to walk to our house,
which was but little way of. l could enjoy
10 more play that afternoon, and when the
time came, | would gladly have hid myself, bat
knew it would be in vain, and so trembliugly
went into the sitting room. To my great joy
and relief, the stranger did not seem TO know
me again, but remarked pleasantly to my father
as be introduced me-'Sucb fine boy was
surely worth having
How the words cut me to the heart. My
father had often told me OF friend who
plunged into the river TO save me as | was
drowning when a child, and who, 10 consequence
OF cold then taken, bad been made cripple
by rheumatism; and this was the man l had
made laughing g-stock for ny companions

great deal to have the memory of that event
taken away. Ii ever you are tempted as was,

The Book Of the Hour and the Book
of all Time.

The good book Of the hour was the useful
or pleasant talk OF some person with whom one
might converse, printed for Us. Records of
graceful words, accounts Of travel. good
humored discussions on useful subjects, state
ments Of facts, and the passing events OF real
bistory-all such books were multiplying
among Us. and they were peculiar character
istic Of the present age. But we made the
wo1s, possible use Of them If we allowed them
TO usurp the place OF true books; for, strictly
speaking, they were not books at all, but only
letters or newspapers. The newspaper mig BIT
be entirely proper for breakfast time; it was
not proper for all the day.
In the book for all time, the suihor has
something TO say which be perceived 10 be
useful, true. or beautiful So lar as be knew,
no one had yet said il aud no one else could
say it. He was bound TO say it clearly at all
events. Books of such q kind had been written
in all ages by the greatest men. The society
OF the dead multiplied as the worlds ages.
Into it we might enter always and take fellow
ship and rank according to our will. The
court OF the past differed from all living ariS-
tocraey iu this, that ii was open TO labor and
merit, and to nothing else. There, if one
sought admittance, be must rise TO The level
of the great mems thoughts il be would under
stand their words, and share their feelings If be
would feel their presence. One must show his
love for those great ones in two ways-by
evincing true desire TO be taught by them
TO enter into their thoughts, and by a true
desire TO feel with them-to enter into their
hearts. He must desire to enter into their
thoughts, not to find himself expressed by them.
If the person who wrote the book was not wiser
than the reader, it would be of no use reading
it. II the author was worth reading, his
meaning would not be got at all at once. nor
would his whole meaning be ascertained Tor a
long time. The best authors would only write
in a sort Of parable, 10 order that their mean
ing might not be got at unless it was really
wanted. Gold was not found on the tops of
mountains, bat nature hid it in little assures in
the earth that men might dig deep in order TO
find it. So it is with the hidden treasures Of
wisdom. Good reading required leisure, and
then the first requisite was to understand the
authors words in the sense in which be used

A RECENT letter from Paris says: To show
how fine thing it is TO be an emperor and an
author, let US state that Napoleon the Third,
with view to carefully learning the military
practice of the Romans at the time of Caesar,
and in order to make his forthcoming history
of Julius as perfect as study under favorable
circumstances will permit, caused an able and
learned officer of artillery to ascertain the mill
tary costume, the arms, armOr, accouterments,
trappings, and other warke instruments, iD-
Guiding those proper for siege service, the camp
and the field, and to reconstruct the same in
the most perfect manner that care and boundless
wealth allowed. At the Tuieries has been
formed museum OF such articles, derived from
ancient sculptures descriptions and drawings
on poetry ETC.; there appear the tents, wagons,
standards, hayersacks, straps, boats, bridges,
machinery. shovels, the balIsta, fararca, cata-
pult, bow and arrow. Each has been carefully
reproduced and fitted for use, 50 that when the
author desired to see q tribune, centurion,
dscuron or private soldier exactly as Caesar
saw him, all that need to be done was to call
Cent Garde and clothe him from the museum.
The ghost of Caesar himself might be invoked
with even less of fear than Brutus had, and
the "Ay, at Phiipi," of the unmatchable
spirit have no terror for bis successor.

moral EFFEcTs OF othing
more incapacitates a man for the lead than
impatence. No constitutionaliy impatient man
who has INDUCED his tendency ever gets to the
bottom Of things. or knows with any nicely
the standing, disposition and circumstances Of
the people he is thrown or has thrown himself
amongst. Certain saien, points he is possessed
of, but not what reconciles and accounts for
them. Something in him-an obtrusive self,
or a train Of thought, or likings and antpatbies
will always come between him and an i'm
partial judgment Neither does be win conf
dence, for be checks the coy, uncertain advances
which are the precursors of it. We doubt if a
thoroughly imp patient man can read the heart,
or be fair critic. or understand the rights Of
any knotty question, or make himself master
of any difficult situation. The power Of waiting,
