The 6ipsies.

A German paper gives an account of the
gipsies in Hungary when they first arrived in
l4l7, under the rule of King Sigismund, and
quickly adopted, with the Initiative spirit of
their race, tue manners aud customs OF the
people among whom they settled. In Northern
Hungary, which is au agricultural oOuutry
Inhabited chiefly by SIavonisns, they seldom
moved beyond the bounds of their villages; in
Southern Hungary, inhabited by Walachiaus,
Germa ana, aud Servians, they led nomad life
The Hungarian 81 psies are OF all varieties OF
color, from white to a yellowish red, like tn 1t
of the Indian gipsies. There are from thirty
to forty thousand of them in Hungary propBr
Excluding Trausylvania aud CrOatia),
where they are chiefly horse dealers, musi-
cans, and blacksmiths. They have al
ways been we'll treated by the Government
but, Notwithstanding all the efforts
of Maria Theresa and Joseph II, they
could never be persuaded to busy th9m3ely
with agriculture. Once the Government
never Inhabited, tho gipsies pre'erring to sleep
in the open air in straw huts erected by them-
selves. The men, though they led vsga-
bond life, are on the whole tolerably honest;
but the women and children are nearly always
thieves or b-ggars. Their only historical ira
ditiOn is the celebrated defense by Que thou
sand gipsies of the fortress Of Macy. Ida in
1857. The gipsies showed extraordinary
bravery on this occasion, keeping the fortress
for three days against an enemy far more nu.
merous. At length the asssilants began to
retreat, upon which, with their usual boast
fulness, the gipsies exclaimed that their VIC
tory would have been more complete il they
had not used all their powder. The enemy,
hearing this, of course returned to the assault,
took the fortress, and killed the gypsy gar
rison to man.

Hobbies.

Nothing, observes a tCreigu writer, sweetens
life so much as hobby. As an lnersdleat III
bumau happiness, IL comes next to the posses
sion of quiet conscience. IL matters not IN dCh
what It is, whether it's object be old books. or
church architecture, or volun .eering, or pbo-
togrSpby, i's effect is the same. A man with
hobby is Pnnui proof. lie can snap his tuoers
at the aimlessLess and hstlessness which creep
even into lives that are both use ful and ptoles-
sional All hs lesure honrs acquire point and
purpose. Released fro n his ds iy drUdgery, he
can potter over o'd buoksta's, or march his men
10 drill or STAN his fingers with ACIDS, without
finding one moment hang heavy on his hands.
The record OF his day sho VS. no. M rely "some-
thing achieved, stmetn,ng done" bat, over
and above, something epjOyed as only an en-
store of pure aud legiImate pleasure. And
though some hobbies are less portable tnan
others, the grand ADVANTAGE OF hobby is that
he can usually carry 1t with hln, and with
ii fund OF IL exbaustlbIe Interest, wherever he
goes. His friend The rector may be dull but the
parish church IS a friend of whom ne never
tires. Young ladies' may be insiDld, 6nt tue
comparative merits of bry ecb-loauers and the
relative efbcieucy of local corps are subjects
VII ch can always pleasantly engage his
thoughts. When he travels tue Museum or The
Picture Gallery Is not mere place 10 lolnge
away all hour IN. In such places, If art be bis
speciality, he is on enc1anted gtouud-in a
tary palace, INTO the subtle charm OF which
none bat the initiated like himself can enter.
Whatever be the nature OF the boDoy, and some
hoboles Of course are ore elevat1ng tbau ot ers
the effect OF al, so far as in iIvdua hapDiue,s
is concerned, Is the same to provide stream
of pleasure which shall run. as it WERE in a
parallel line with the stream OF a mau's Tork
The grand point IS TO get ho0by; what specinc
form 1t assumes Is O matter OF secondary i'm
IOrtAnce. ONLY let It be Innocent, and, con-
sdering the peculiar ira lty OF the hobby RIDER
LET US ADD, not 100 expensive.

Threatened Famine in India,

The London Times contains a letter from
Calcutta, under date of September II, in which
the writer announces the probability of another
famine IN various parts OF India owing to the
failure of the rice crops. He says:-
"Famine once more threatens Northern In
dia, especially all those provinces to which
alone the term Hindostan is correctly applied.
There was hardly any hot weather, in the In
dian seDse in May aud jane last. Again In
July and August the heavens were opened
with the most disastrous results in all the
coast districts, east and west, on which the
monsoon bursts. Orisa was swept; the other
districts between Calcutta and the sea are still
four feet under water; even more distant Tir-
hoot was deluged The rice crops rOtted; those
sown second time are now rottng before nay
eyes. But in Bengal the crop OF the year comes
later, as we have too good reason TO know
since 1866. On the rainfall this month and
half of next depends the fate of the cold season
crops and the lives OF thousands. Now, Bengal
has already had much more than its whole
years supply. No less than seventy eight
inches have fallen at Calcutta, or eleven more
than the annual average, against ffty-three in
the same time last year.
"NOr has Western India escaped the deluge.
At this time last month it inundated Guzerat.
Ahmedabad, Kaira, KurAt, and the other
great old cities there have been dssola,ed.
The news of a calamity which in Europe would
have called forth tne lAmentatlOn OF nations,
In India takes three weeks to travel across the
peninsula. Houses have fallen down by tens
OF thousands, and lives both European and
native, have been lost, while railway bridges
have been washed away.
"At this moment the sixty millions Of
human beings who live by the land between
the Indus on the north, the Chumbul, II not
Nlbudda, on the south, and the Dammoodah,
in the far east, are praying for rain, in mosque
and temple, through priest aud idol. The
