The Invention Of Lithography.
By JAMES PARTON.

The Impotence Of a German washer
woman led to the invention of lithography
The history of that elegant art begins with
homely domestic scene, which occurred
at Munich about the year 1898, and in
which three characters figured, Madame
Senefelder, the poor widow of an excellent
actor, then recently deceased; her son,
Alois Senefelder aged twenty-five, young
man of an inventive turn; and the impa-
tient washerwoman just mentioned. The
washerwoman had called at the home of
this widow for the weekly "wash;" but
the "list was not ready, and the widow
asked her son to take it. He looked about
the room for piece of paper upon which
to write it, without being able to find the
least fragment, and he noticed also that his
ink was dry. Washerwomen are not apt
to be overawed by such customers, and
this one certainly did not conceal her i'm
patience while the fruitless search was
proceeding. The young man had in tho
apartment . smooth. soft, cream-colored
stone, such as lithopraphers now use. He
had also mass of paste made of lamp
black, wax, soap, and water. In the hurry
of the moment, he dashed upon the soft,
smooth stone the short list of garments,
using for the purpose this awkward lump
Of oily paste. The washerwoman went off
with her small bundle of clothes, peace was
restored to the family, and the writing on
the stone remained.

A SHIFTLEss MAN.-In the spring of
1s41 was searching for a studio in which
to set up my easel. My house-hunting -
ended at the New York University, where
I found what l wanted in one of the tur-
rets of that stately edifice. When had
fixed my choice the janitor, who accom-
panied me in my examination of the rooms,
threw open door on the opposite side OF
the hall and invited me to enter found nv
self in what was evidently an artists studio
but every object in it bore indubitable signs
of unthrift and neglect. The statuettes,
busts, and models of various kinds were
covered with dust and cobwebs; dusty can
vases were faced to the wall, and stumps
Of brushes and scraps of paper Uttered the
floor. the only signs of industry consisted
of few mastery crayon drawing, and
little lucious studies of color pinned to the
wall.
"You will have an artist for your neigh
bor," said the janitor, "though he is not
here much of late; he seems to be getting
rather shiftlsss; he is wasting his time over
some silly invention, a machine by which
he expects to send messages from one place
to another. He is very good painter, and
might do well if he would only stick to his
business; but, Lyrdr' he added, with a
sheer of supreme contempt, "the idea of
telling by little streak Of lightning what
body is saying at the other end of it! His
friends think he is crazy on the subject,
and are trying to dissuade him from it, but
he persists in it until he is almost ruined"

whose foolish waste of time so excited his

A Perfect Horse.
BY W. II. H. MURRAY.

In weight she might have turned,
when aforementioned, nine hundred
and fifty pounds. In color she was
dark chestnut, with a velvety depth and
soft look about the hair indescribably
rich and elegant. Many time have 1
heard ladies dispute the shade and hue
of her plush-like coat as they ran their
white, !ewelled fingers through her silk
en- hair Her body was round in the
barrel, and perfectly symmetrical. She
was wide in the launches, without pro-
lection of the hip-bones, upon which
the shorter ribs seemed to lap. High
in the withers as she was, the line of
her back and neck perfectly curved,
while her deep, oblique shoulders and
long thick forearm, ridgy with swelling
sinews, suggesting the perfection of
stride and power. Her knees across
the pan were wide, the cannon-bone be-
low them short and thin; the pasterns
long and sloping her hoofs round, dark,
shiny, and well set on. Her name was
shade darker than her coat, fine and
thin, as a thoroughbred's always is
whose blood is without faint or cross.
Her ear was thin, sharply pointed, del
icately-curved, nearly black around the
borders, and as tremulous as the leaves
of an aspen. Her neck rose from the
withers to the head in perfect curvature,
hard, devoid of fat, and we'll cut up
under the chops Her nostrils were
full, very full, and thin almost as parch-
ment. The eyes, from which tears
might fall or fire flash, were well brought
out, soft as a gazelle's, almost human
in their intelligence, while over the
small bony head, over neck and shout
ders, yea, over the whole body and
clean down to the hoofs, the veins stood
out as if the skin were but tissue-paper
against which the warm blood pressed,
and which it might at any moment
burst asunder "A perfect animal
said to myself, as l lay looking her
over,-'an animal which might have
been born from the wind and the sum
shine, so cheerful and so swift she seems;
an animal which man would present
as choicest gift to the woman be loved,
and yet one which that woman, wife or
lady-love, would give him to ride when
honor and life depended on bottom and
speed "-ATLANTIc MONTHLY for Apr.

The Demon Pilot.

Lonely drifting sadly seward
MAIDEN by demons laughter;
Rushing like an arrow leeward,
To the Land of the Hereafter.
Lonely? no! A thousand gushing
Fancies, follow where lead them.
Close upon me, wildly rushing,
Regging will stop and heed them.
Five and thirty times the sickle.
Cleaned amid the Golden grain,
Since upon these waters tickle,
| have floated towards the main.
Sad. unhappy and unheeding,
Binnacle but dimly lighted
Nothing caring for their pleading
Let them leave me if they're Sighted.
Let them leave me-let the demon
That has curst me with his bowling,
Leave me too-and then a freeman
| will laugh to scorn his scOwling.
Yet he mocks me mocks me ever!
Flashing eyes like FURNISHED steel,
And his fiery breath doth sever.
Every blessed hope feel.
Get We gone We blasting, blighting.
Darksome hope-destroying ghoul-
Leave hopes golden tinted lightning
For a covering for my soul.
Who would care to reach the ocean,
When his ship is bilged and sinking.'
Better leave this life's commotion,
And the demons laugh, Tn thinking
Better beach the sinking vessel,
Ere you reach the billowing sc;,--
Better stop and madly wrcstle
With the demon till you re free.
Faith and love and hope are kneeling,
Like angels round Gods pearly throne:
GetEscmanic-lilc appealing
Bloody sweat and Sorrowing groan
Will We scorn them? cruelty them,
All their pleadings disregard?
And with Judas tongue deny them,
Still aspiring heavenwald.'
Cold the winds are wildly bowling,
Round my spectre ridden bark.
And the Demon stitch scowling.
Sternward stearing through the dark.
Yet l know this stormy sailing
This diSaSterouS voyage must cease,
And life $ sorrow, and its wailing,
Calm unto lonely peace.
Then I'll see the glorious wonders
Tread the ever blooming sod
Safely from the tempest's thunders,
Close beside the throne of God.

LOCOMOTIVE WITHOUT STEAM.-The
New York Sun says that Mr.. Moltz
after eight years labor, has produced a
locomotive which he believes will super.
sede the use of steam on railroads, and
relieve the public of the apprehension
Of disastrous explosions. The machine
is set in motion by levers acting on an
eccentric, which moves the wheels OF
the engine. Balancing weights and
springs seem to supply the motive pow.
sr. The model, which is on exhibition
in New York, cost the inventor $43, 900.
