THE RED SEA.

The Red Sea is said to be the hottest
place in the world. The atmosphere for
about sixty miles in that sea is steamy and
sticky. Everything in the shape of iron or
steel about ship takes on coat Of rust.
During the summer months no one travels
on the Red Sea unless compelled by busi-
ness or military orders to do s. In the win
ter and spring the passage is delightful.
Yet navigation in that body of water is al
ways attended with many dangers. The
Red Sea is long and narrow, with sunken
rocks and projecting reefs; and counter
winds prevail which produce dangerous
currents. There are three lighthouses in
the sea, which must be kept by salamander
like men, since the thermometer runs up to
one hundred and twenty degrees in July,
and approaches ninety in early spring.

EgA young minister went into the
country to preach, and observed during his
discourse a poor woman who seemed to be
much affected. After the service he resolv-

woman, III tell you. About six years ago
me and husband removed to this place and

erful jaws. Further on, we discovered an
other man, whose bloody wounds the no.
BILE dog was licking. The stranger ap-
preached him, and gave convulsive cry :
1t was Sir Arthur-the master of Bevis.
Here M. Derman paused the recolec-
tion seemed to overcome him and he
stopped to caress the sleeping greyhound ;
in order to hide his emotion. After awhile
he finished his recital in few words.
''Sir Arthur was mortally wounded, but
he lived long enough to recognize his dog
and to confess that in moment OF despera-
ton, he had tried to kill the faithful crea-
ture who now avenged his death, by slay-
ing the robbers who attacked him. He ap-
pointed the stranger his executor, and set
tied a large pension on Bevis, to revert to
the family of the inn-keeper, wishing thus
to testify his repentant love toward his dog
and his gratitude to those who had succor-
ed him. The grief of Bevis was excessive ;
he watched by his masters couch, covering
his dead body with caresses, and for long
time lay stretched on his grave, refusing to
take nourishment and was not until after
the lapse of many months that the affection
of his new master seemed to console him
for the death of Sir Arthur"
As my fellow traveller finished the recital,
the diligence stopped to chance horses at
the little town of Mantua. Here NJ. Der
mann's journey ended, and having taken
down his luggage, he asked me to assist the
descent of his dog. / shook hands with
him cordially, and then called Beyis, who
seeing me ON such good terms with. his

ly afterward they both disappeared from

LATEST OUTRAGE UPON THE FASH
ION

A newly inducted policeman in New Or
leans recently had a singular adventure
with fashionable dressed lady whom he
met coming out of a dry goods store. He
had heard of shoplifters who carried of
the most costly silks in a sack disposed
about their person. He was ambitious of
distinction, and here WAS a chance for the
coveted fame. The lady was evidently car
rying heavy load.-She must must be a
shoplifter There could he no doubt of it
he would arrest her.
You are my prisoner" he said, laying
his hand on her shoulder.

EXPRESSION IN THE EYEBROWS.

The eyebrows are part of the face com
paratively but little noticed, though in dis
closing the real sentiments of the mind
scarcely any other features of the face can
come into competition. In vain the most
prudent female imposes silence on her
tongue in vain she tries to compose her
face and eyes; single movement of the
eyebrows instantly discloses what is passing
in her soul, Placed upon the skin, and at
tached to muscles which move them in ev-
cry direction, the eyebrows are obedient,
in consequence of their extreme nobility
to the slightest internal impulses. Their
majesty, pride, vanity, severity, kindness,
the dull and gloomy passions, and the pas
sions soft and gay, are alternately depicted.
"The eyebrows alone" said Lavater, the
prince of physiognomists, ''often give the
positive expression of the character. part
of the soul," says Pliny the elder, ''resides
in the eyebrows, which move at the COM
mand of the will" LIE Brun, in his trea-
tise on the passions, says ''that the eye
brows are the least equivocal interpreters
of tn heart and of the affections of the soul.

A WARNING TO YOUNG Men, Charles
Lamb tells us his experience as warming
to young men in the following language :
"The waters have gone over me, But out
of the black depths, could I be heard, I
would cry out to all those who have set
foot in the perilous food. Could the
youth to whom the flavor of the first wine
is delicious as the opening scenes of life or
entertaining as some newly discovered par
adise,, look into my dissolution and be
made to feel what @ dreary thing when he
can feel himself going down a precipice
with open eyes and passive will to his de-
struction, and have no have no human
power to stop it, and feel it all the way
emanating from himself to see the good
ness emptied out of him, and yet not be
able to forget time when it was otherwise;
bear the piteous spectacle of his own ruin !;
could see my fevered eye, fevered with last
nights drinking and feverishly looking to-
nights repeating folly could he feel the
body of the death out of which cry hour
ly to be delivered it were enough to make
desert the sparkling beverage to the earth,
in all the pride of its mantling temptation.

THE WAY IT'S DONE.

We have another new sensation,
Quite funny demonstration,
To be in fashion some insist,
You must place yourself all of q twist.
To teach the different ways its done,
The task I'll undertake for fun,
So please attention TO me lend,
And learn to do the "Grecian Bend"
up the chin and out the chest,
Assume the form of the letter 5,
Like a kangaroo your arms extend,
And then you'll have the Grecian Bend.
Unto your notice will bring,
The various ways to do this thing,
To explain to you do intend,
The different styles of Grecian Bend.
For instance, when you see dog
Stand up and initiate frog,
Although he's dumb you may depend,
He's trying on the Grecian Bend.
CHORUS.
A man YOU meet while in the street,
His equilib he cannot keep,
He'll fall in the gutter and pretend,
He's got the Bourbon Gercian Bend.
Or, if you meet shape absurd,
With back hum ocd up like Rich. the third,
You will find by looking sharp, my friend,
Another kind of Gercian Bend.
CHORUS.
There's nothing in the shape so hateful,
That is stylish much less tasteful,
Oh, may the fashion not extend,
But be short lived, this Grecan Bend.
Though if you still require of me,
Instructions in defOrmity,
I'll teach you right you may depend,
Tie way to DO the Gercian Bend

power in the formation. of character.
A yonng lady that has seen nothing OF
real life, and only knows what she has
heard and read, is greatly astoaished
when she meets the distinguished men
and women. of any country. They are
not equal to her standard Young peo-
pie may be made better by contact with
that whichis is not SO good: Instead of
falling themselves, they Should try to
make the lad good, To be thrown in
early life among. g.all classes and condi-
tions of people ought to be esteemed
an advantage rather than misfortune,
The people from whom we can obtain
the most sensible, the traest and wisest
views Of life, are found among those
who struggle for existence. No one can
truly understand life unless they have
suffered. Of this we may be certain.
A truly wise mother might justly be
distressed if her child neverknew grief.
There are plenty of people who think
they have trouble; but to feel what
trouble is, we must be as others are.
To be really good, one must have seen
life in all its phases A poor little bare
footed girl looks upon the elegantly
dressed lady and thinks her happy. She
mas food and clothing, and Of course
plenty of sriends. She knows what
comfort, what joy is. But she could
better understand and would better
comprehend what happiness or what
virtue is if she knew with how little
envy, indeed with what pleasure, her
Il-cla6 and suffering observer gazes
upon what we receive as evidences of
her happiness. The griefs are fancied.
The others are, real. But often the real
haroiness is where the poverty is and
the.Nealth is not, We are sometimes
surprised that poor people behave SO
well. How many wrongs they might
commit, which are never done a
poor mother goes out to beg bread for
darling, perhaps her dying child. She
is the suffering witness of overhowing
wealth and luxury, but she dares not
interfere. 1t is her sense of justice,
the justice of her people, that protects
her. She has suferings, but she has
also protection that wealth does not
give. God is wise. He deals Justly
lis it not well for us to see and to know
for ourselves such suferings and such
virtue, that we may fully comprehend
his goodness and his wisdom?
It is best that children should not be
too strongly governed. 1t is the same
in families as with nations. Too much
government defeats the object we wish
to accomplish. It's the duty of parents
to be what they desire their children to
be. & mothers example should be her
daughters constant guide It is rn-
wise to observe too closely slight faults.
How few there are that can bear rigid
cross-examination There is nothing a
Yee4ter should SO much covet and SO
much prize as the unreseryed confidence
Of her daughter. But to gain and re-
tain this confidence, we must live the
life we profess. Nothing does achild
sasre harm, nothing cen impart to q
mother greater grief, than the loss of
+bis touching and tender relation which
hrings the daughter to the mother in
confession of her error, or which would
pre- rent her return even upon q repeti.
