Wonders Of l.ittlencss.

Pliny and Elan relate that Myrme-
cides wrought out of ivory chariot
with four wheels and four horses, and a
ship with all her tacklings, both i'll so
small compass that bee could hide
either with its wings. Nor should we
doubt this when we find it recorded, on
less questionable authority, that i'll the
twentieth year of Queen Elizabeth's
reign, a blacksmith of London, named
Mark Scaliot, made u lock of iron, steel
and brass, of eleven pieces, and a pipe
key, all of which only weighed one
grain. Scaliot also made a chain of
gold, forty-three links, which he fasten-
ed to the lock and key, and put it around
the neck of flea, which drew the
whole with perfect ease. The chain,
key. lock and flea, altogether, weighed
but one grain and half. Hadrianus
Junius saw ut Mechlin in Bradbant, Il
cherry stone cut into the form of 4
basket: in it were fourteen pairs of dice
distinct, the spots and numbers Of which
were easily to be distinguished by a
good eye.
But sill more extraordinary than this
basket of dice, or anything we have yet
mentioned, must have been set of
turnery shown ut Rome, i'll the time of
Pope Paul the Fifth, by one Shad, a
turner. of Witelbranch, who had pur-
chased it for the artist Oswaldus Nor
hingerus. 1t consisted of sir'eea han
dred dishes, which were all perfect aud
complete in every part, yet so small
and slender that the whole could be
easily inclOsed i'll case fabricated out
of a peppercorn of ordinary size. The
Pope is said to have himself counted
them, but with the help of a pair of
spectlcles, for they We're so very small
us to be almost invisible to the naked
eye. Although his Holiness thus salts
fled his eyes of the fact, he did not, we
are assured, require OF those about nm
to subscribe To it on the credit of his
own infallibility; for he gave every one
an opportunity of examining and judy
ing for himself, and among the persons
thus highly favored particular reference
is made to Casper Schioupins and Jo-
hannes Faber, physician of Rome.
Turrianus, of whose skill so many
wonderful things are related, is said to
have fabricated iron mills, which moved
of themselves, so minute in size that n
monk could carry one in his sleeve, and
yet powerful enough to grind in single
day grain enough for the consumption
of eight men.

whose very sight wreathes in smiles the
faces of the haughtiest stage beauties,
and whose draughts on their hearts they
dare not protest! Indeed you would!
He had seventeen grand crosses of the
highest, selectest orders in Europe.
Don't you envy him. Good reader, envy
no man. have seen many a spoiled
child of fortune in his dressing gown.
have never seen one l would have
changed places with. Certainly Count
Bacchioci seemed handled by fortune as
tenderly as she ever handles any one.
He was born in the gilded cradle, and
he trod life on carpet of roses; but he
was the victim of disease, which tortured
him with barbarous cruelty. TWAS one
of those nervous diseases beyond the
reach of medical science. He could not
remain still, either in chair or in bed,
without suffering the acutest pain. The
nerves of motion were affected. He
transacted business on foot; he dictated
letters and lists of invitations as he
paced his Office.
He listened to the performance Of OPP
eras in his latticel box, which had no
seat in it, and was covered with thick
carpet, that he might walk during the
whole performance. He saw ballets
danced from the slips of the stage. Of
ten he would take the dullest books is
sued from the press, have candles lighted
in broad daylight, and read the stupid
work until he caught its heaviness and
was composed to sleep. Sometimes sleep
would not come, even when so sum
moned; then he would walk until it did
come: he would walk until so exhausted
that the nerves were insensible to pain,
and sleep would become necessary to
life. On one occasion he walked with
out intermission for thirty-six hours,
trying to subdue pain by fatigue.
The soles of his feet were red, as if
they had been boiled and the blood had
been forced through all their pores.
The Emperor gave him rooms adjoining
one of the largest passages of the Tuil-
cries, and had it covered with thick
Aubusson carpet, that the poor patient
might enjoy his painful round with the
least pain. He died of sheer exhaus-
ton from want of sleep. Shortly before
he died he murmured, ''Norine! NOrine"
"What is thati Do you
want anything p asked one of the per
sons present. "Don't question me-" re-
piled the fast dying man.
Norine was a little shop girl of Leg
horn, his first love; she is now an old
shopkeeper of that city, and
has quite large family. The dying
man, though he had lived in palaces,
amid the rank and beauty of Europe,
was familiar with the prettiest women
behind the footlights, thought of none
of the pageantry and pomp of his career.
They were vanity of vanities. All his
last thoughts belonged to the humble
maiden whose eye had turned his
glance, and whose lip had first breathed
love into his ear. This was the oasis
in life's desert-the rest was all sand.

A Years Troubles.

Sometimes compare the troubles we
have to undergo in the course Of year
to q great bundle of faggots far too large
for MS to lift. But God does not require
us to carry the whole at once. He mer-
cifully unties the bundles and gives US
first one stick, which we are able to
carry to-day, and then another, which
We are able TO carry tomorrow, and so
on. This we might easily manage, if
we would only take the burden appoint
ed for us each day; but we choose to
increase our troubles by carrying yes
terday's trouble over again to-day and
adding to-morrow's burden to our load
before we are required to bear it.-John

Stupidities.

Halls Journal of Health enumerates
the following. The list is capable of
being indefinitely extended. Indeed, if
one should specify all the silly and re-
diculous habits and practices by which
the majority of reasoning mortals are
injuring themselves, he would make a
chapter as long as the Atlantic Cable !:
Walking along the streets with the
point of an umbrella sticking out be-
hind, under the arm, over the shoulder.
By suddenly stopring to speak to a
friend, or other cause, person walking
in the rear had! his brain penetrated
through his eye, i'll one of our streets,
and died in few days.
Stepping into a church aisle, after
dismissien, and standing to converse
with Others, or TO allow occupants OF
the same pew to pass out before, for the
courtesy of precedence, ut the expense
of greater boorishness to those be-
hind.
To carry long pencil in vest or out
side coat pocket. Not long since q
clerk in New York fell, and the long
cedar pencil so pierced an important ar.
terry, that it had to he cut down upon
from the top Of the shoulder to prevent
his bleeding to death, with a three
months illness.
To take exercise or walk for the
health, when every step is drag, and
instinct urges us to repose.
To guzzle down glass after glass OF
cold water on getting up in the morn.
ing without any feeling of thirst, under
the impression of the health-giving ma
ture of its washing-out qualities.
To sit down to table and "force'
yourself to eat when there is not only
no appetite, but positive aversion OF
food.
To take glass of soda OF toddy, oI
sangaree, or mint-drops on summer
day, under the belief that it is safer and
better than glass of cold water.
To economic time by robbing your.
self Of necessary sleep, on the graund
that an hour saved from sleep is an
hour gained for life, when in reality il
is two hours actually lost, and half 4
dozen others actually spoiled.
To persuade yourself that You are de-
stroying one unpleasant odor by intro,
ducing stronger one, that is. attempt.
ing to sweeten your own unwashcd gar.
ments and person by enveloping your,
self in the fumes of musk, eau dc CO,
logne, or rose water; the best perfume
being q clean skin and well-washed
clothing.
