Poor People and POOR Money

IL a sermon on tho disadvantages of
being poor, preached by BEEcuLR recently,
occurred the following passage:
In all the troubles and mischiefs that
arise from false weights and spurious cur
rency, II is usually the poor that suffer
most. Here is q spurious quarter Of dol
lar. The merchant. ia whose hands ii
chances to be. thoughtlessly, OF course, flor
merchants are always houest passes it TO
the trader, and he seeing that it does not
look quite right. but not thinking it worth
while to scrutinize it too closely, passes it
to the grocerj and he, glancing at it, and
not liking the looks of it, but not wishing
to be over r-particular, and saying, " / took
it, and must get rid of it, passes it to the
market man, he saying, 4" it might as well
be kept travelling" passes it, as he is
iourneying to the conductor, and he, know.
ing that il is not good, but disliling to say
anything to the man, says to himself,
will keep it and give it to somebody else,
and passes it to a sewing woman. She is
poor, and person that is poor, is always
watched and when she offers il, it is dis
covered TO be spurious, and is refused and
she looks at it and says, " it is nearly my
whole days wages, but it is counterfeit,
and of course muht not pass it /; " and she
burns il UP, and 30 is the only honest one
among them all. Bad bills, spurious cur.

New style of RulIdIng i'm Paris.
La partrio has the following.

q
There is at this time in course of con.
sruction, as an experiment and possible
model, in Tho QUARTER dc Route, house
having nine stories above the ground floort
and, with basement and cellars. altogether
eleven stories. AS land in the center OF
Paris is of great value, and, consequently,
rents very high, the object OF the building
in question is TO obtain increased space by
means of increased elevation. The house
will have this popularity it will have
no staircase, but il win be provided with
an hydraulic apparatus similar to thet in
use by builders to raise their materials TO
upper scatfolds. This apparatus consists
of two large fat forms, ascending and de-
scondng every minute without making any
noise Upon these platforms will be placed
seats, so that the odgers in the house III
be enabled to reach the highest stories
without any fatigue. From this arrange
ment it would follow that tue upper stories,
being the most airy, commanding the best
views, and being free from altrsk of incon.
venence from dodgers above, will probably
obtain higher rent than the other apart
ments. Thus an entire revolution in house
arrangement viii be effective. The new
buildings of the Bank of France will, it is
said, be prepared with ascending stairs
such as we have described.

the historical archives of England, the
dark side of nature, the poetry ofgipsy aud

and Roman crime tho buried legends Of
Pompeii, the fancies Of our greatest epic
minstrel, the regions of high and low life.
dukedoms and pickpockets. murders and
elopements. pedantry and humor, the dim
traditions Of Germanyi the luscious facles
of Africa, and the wide world of the drama
in Spain. Yet no recluse. He has sat for
thirty years in Parliament, fought against
the slave trade, advocated the teaching OF
the people, conducted the business of tho
Colonial Office, worn the robes of ancient
aeademies--in fact, we have no more re-
kab!e example of versatility combined
with power in our generation. For Sir
Bulwer Lytton has been a tragic, q comic

magazines he has been Colonial Secretary /;
he has translated Schiller, and written upon

A LADY correspondent thus briefly dis
cusses the question: How shall the ladies
wear their hair I Something must be done,
aud that quickly, or We shall have all our
ladyships seudding under bare poles. The
mandates of fashion have been over severe
for three or four years, and now We are
paying the penalty of our devotions. Eu.
genie's hair is getting thin on tho top OF
her head Well, she has plenty OF company
in that affliction. If that is Gny comfort to
her. The waterfalls, cataracts, rats, mice
and the thousand other diabolical contr'.
vances of air.dressers, have always tended
to one ohject--to strain at the roofs OF the
hair by tying and twisting in every possible
way. The natural consequences Is the
downfall Of the glory Of woman. What
shall we do? Go back to the fashions Of
shepherd simplicity. and wear onr own
ringlets over Our shouldersl Alas for ne
who have locks like unto the needles ol
the pine tree, and whose tresses hare as
much spiral tendency as tho most rigid ol
pokersl Who will como to our relief, fol
the waterfall oppresseth too brain, aud
headaches are prevalent among usi Lei

A CURIOUS QUESTION.

A DAueHrERl
Well, what brought herf
Kitty asks chow came she here |"
Half with Joy and half with fear.
Kitty Is our eldest child
Eight years old aud rather Wild
Wild In manner, but in mind
Wishing all things we'll defined.
Kitty says " how came she here7
Father, tell me-its so queer;
Yesterday we had no sister,
Else I'm sure | should have kissed her
When ! went to bed last night.
And this morning hailed her sight
With strange and new delight;
Fer, indeed, L passes all
To have sister not so tall
As my doll and with blue eyesl
And-I do declare lit cries
"Last night did not see her, father.
Or Pm sure l bad much rather
Stayed at home as shll as mouse
Than played all day at grandma's house.
She is pretty, and so tiny
And what makes her face so shinyI
VIII II always be like thatH
Will she swell up plump aud fat,
Like my little doll 2 or tall,
Like my wax one tell me all
About her, papa dear,
For | do so long to hear
Mhere she came from, and who brought her
Yours and mammals bran new daughter J"
A daughter l-another daughter
And the question is "What brought her ?"
Spence, our boy, but three years old,
Says the nurse did-and is bold,
In defiance Of them both,
Since to yield his place he's 10th,
And, Iolhng, feels his noses point,
When j declare It's out OF joint.
But though the childish explanation
Re fooe CROUCH for child's vexation,
We older folks must better find 4.H.I
TO feed the hunger Of the mind
To us of larger issues preaching
This link of life eternal reaching
From earth to heaven, this new bern soul
Comes fresh from wherever roll
Its countless years through yonder heaven,
Has deeper cause for thinking given.
A daughterl
No matter what-she comes 10 bring
A blessing in her life's young spring.
No matter, darlng-she is here
Our daughter, sister, baby dear -
Open your hearts, and let her enter,
Open them wide, for God hath sent her"

THE GLADIATOR.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.

Beside the Tiber on a certain day;
A swarthy plebian took his gloomy way
Wise in low cunning --dexterous at dice,
And skilled in every infamous device;
A brawny Hercules, whom all men feared,
And even when he cheated loudly cheered,
With corrugated forehead like the bull,
~Sboulderug his weighty way tho street was full,
Strcde to the coliseum and the crowd,
App 'auded as he entered, long and loud.
"The Gladiator in the arena died.
So history says, but lying history lied,
For mad with blood the muItitudinous throng
Leapt in the ring and on their shoulders strong,
Upliited him and thro' the roaring road
CONVEYED him to the fornm--eve where
Great Nero sat, and placed, him by his chair.
A mass of knotted muscle, gnarled face,
Among the council sat this Great Disgrace,
A growing heap where Cicero shone before
Alas, where such as he shall shine no more
And thrust his huge fist in the scale to weigh
The fate of nations. 1t is so to-day?
rhe "Tber'' is a little stream which runs through
Washington City, near the Capitol. Readers will

Radiant with every grace,
Gladdening the eye that looks on her
So sweet is besuty's face.

So sweet is maiden love.
