DlSAGREEABLE WOMEN.

A disagrceable woman is like vacu.
um-there is no place for her in nature.
She is parody upon herself. IF there is
touch of beauty about her, she gives
those she meets the sort of shock one
would feel on taking what appears to be
wine and is in reality vinegar. Forum
ately, she very seldom is beautiful, in the
true sense of the word. Nature does not
lend itself to shams. 1t is pitilessly ex-
acting. Sweetness of face must result
from sweetness of disposition. The face
is not mask, but mirror. 1t reveals
everything with terrible righteousness.
Amiability is not to be simulated to the
observant eye. You cannot stampY The
marks, the lines, the flowing curves of the
agreeable on your face, unless you have
the quality in your breast. For this rea-
son the disagreeable woman is never real.
ly beautiful. Her features, at their best,
remind you of etchings; the effects have
been "bit in" by acids. The forms of the
disagreeable in woman are infinite, but
the effect of all is the same. In place Of
attraction there is repulsion; in place Of
love, pity-if not scorn; in place of hap
piness, sour discomfort. The disagreeablo
woman is irksome to every created thinf',
including herself. There is positively on
ly one way to deal with her,-turn her
into joke. In that way she may be
made tolerable, like the eFrenchman's
slippers--useless, but just available as the
basis Of a ragout Selected.

Out of the window, little May
Looks on drear December day,
Watching the snow fakes dropping down
Over the busy. smoky town;
Watches them falling, soft and slow,
Over the dusty pavement below
Over the quickly-passing people,
Gateway and tower and lonely stceple;
Over the chimneys black and grim;
She looks to the sky, so cloudy and dim,
Wondering where is the strange, far hight
Whence come these frosty fakes Of light?
Fall they from moon or from distant star
From limitless fields of azure afar?
Are they the ghosts Of vanished flowers
Lilies and roses Of summer bowers,
Crocuses starry, and jonquils sweetf
Do they, at last, as phantoms meet,
Wandering lost in upper air,
Drifting downward white and fair,
Seeking their old-time haunts below,
Blossoming new in beautiful snowl
Whence 1t may come, and what 1t may be,
When the soft-falling snow we see,
Let us be sure It's gift from Him
Who, whether the sky be cloudless or dim,
Thinks Of us kindly, and for that reason
Sendeth the secdtime and rain in their season
Sendeth the flowers and the fruits in their

FLOATING WATER POWER.

Mr.. Albert Shepard of Oswego County,
N. Y, has invented a adosting water pow
er which is sustained always on the surface
Of the current with automatic or selfad,
justible connections of the power with the
machinery, SO that the height of the wat
er has no effect whatever upon the per-
formance Of the water-wheel. The water.
wheels (undershot) are suspended between
two scows or floats; the ends of the latter
facing the current are wedge-shapea to
present little resistance to the current and
divert the stream into the space between
the feot under the wheels. There is also
a guard provided between the floats for
protecting the wheels. A gate conform
ing to the circumference of the wheel-a
segmcn of a circle-guards the wheel and
regulates the amount of water impinging
against the buckets and the speed OF the
wheel, and to entirely stop the wheel by
cutting off the stream from the buckets.
The main wheel shaft carries on the shore
end bevel gear that drives similar
gear, from the shaft of which the power
is carried by means of pulleys and belts
or shafting to the mill standing upon the
bank. The receiving pulley and shaft is
hung in a frame, one end of which is him
ged or pivoted to the shore side float or
scow, and the other to the mill building.
Thus, whether the water is high or low
the belt is always kept i" taut," and the
machinery driven the same under all cir
cumstances. BY lengthening the boats or
floats two or more wheels may be used
Thus it will be seen that the,eapense of
constructing and keeping in repair dams,
where there is current in the stream, is
obviated. And the advantages resulting
from its adjustlbility are great.-Rval
Nea0- Yorker.

it would be useless to the mass CT men.
Christianity alone is adapted to ALL" The
note books also contained some venerable
"reminiscences :''Plato once gave stmpt-
uous feast. Diogenes, when he entered
the house, had to walk over superb
carpet. i am treading under foot the
pride Of Plato, said he Yes replied
Plato, with the pride of Diogenes. ;"
"My poor" said Boerhaaye, ''are my
best patients. God pays for taem."
From Leibnitz we have this remark !:
'If | have made out case for science, it
gives me the right to demand silence
when / speak Of religion"
Nine. Swetchine was we'll read in the
history and doctrines Of the Romish
Church. Baptized and educated in the
Greek Communion, she became after
much reflection, and at great personal
sacrifice, a tevout Catholic. Both her
temperament and the Wilderness and uni
versatility of her intellectual views, saved
her from falling into any of those mystic
errors dominant in that Church.
Her life is like a golden song Of one of
the ancient fathers-full of rich harmon
les, and grand in its simplicity. Its reci-
tai can but do good. "Her lonely studies
and aspirations" eloquently observes Mr..
Alger in the Introductory notice Of her
biography, "her sublime personal attain
ments, her philanthropic labors, her liter
ary productions, her sweet social charm
aud vast influence, her thrice-royal friends
ship with kings, and geniuses, and saints,
the sober raptures Of her religious faith
and fruition, form an example whose ex-
citing and edifying interest and value are
scarcely surpassed in the ANIMALS Of her
SEX"

DON'T SMOKE.

iOdoO uoh ShiohO Ii you uafc not
formed the habit, keep yourself out of the
temptation. If you are just beginning to
like the smell, perchance the taste, of
fragrant Havana don't go beyond the be-
ginning. If the habit has fairly got hold
of you shake it off. 1t is much better in
every way, that you should abstain from
the filthy, inconvenient, deleterious prac-
tice of smoking. ts
Better for your pocket; better for your
health; better for your intellect; better
for your morals
And that is just the point we are after
the aminus of our injunction. And,
now we know just what will happen. Nine
tenths of those who read this will turn at
once to not less than good dozen of ex-
cellent people-pious, Christian people
folks who live virtuously, and make the
world better for their living-but who,
nevertheless, do smoke, and that habitu-
ally and persistently. But allowing this
to be true-which we do-what does it
prove? Just what can be proven by the
prevalence of any other deleterious habit
the power of Divine Grace and we'll
settled convictions to withstand the ten
denotes Of evil A man is not better for
being the slave Of foolish habit He is,
by so much the worse. Show us an ex-
cellent man who is habitual smoker and
we will show you one who would be a
much better man were he to break the
thraldom.
We have two individuals in our mind
(both ministers Of the Gospel, in "stand-
ing, " both inveterate smokers, We have
met them frequently, and under various
circuustances-at home and abroad, in
the pulpit and out of it. They are stran-
gers to each other, but are both ''good
fellows" and have "lots of friends" When
then travel they carefully stow away their
wives and babies in the regular passenger
car while they repair to the smoking
car" to enjoy their favorite weed and the
company of all the blaclllcgs and loafers
on the train. AT the public hotels their
families have access to the parlors, while
they are driven to filthy bar-rooms. The
society into which their baleful habit throws
them is almost invariably pernicious, and
the habit itself is perpetual stumbling
block in all their efforts to lead others in
the better way. They are in constant
warfare with conscience, which cannot be
smoked into smonolency, and their use
fulness is impaired beyond their own con-
sciousness.
We have heard these men preach, but
never without constant, underlined sense
of their unftness. Their moral truths fall
short of the mark. Their exhortations are
invariably tainted with the fumes of to-
bacco. When they speak Of the 'powers
of Satan" we think of the powers of evil
habit. When they exhort sinners to re-
pentance, we feel like saying, Physician
heal thyself."
We like them both-they are our per-
sonal friends--but we cannot withhold
from them kind of pity, such as we feel
for some excellent fellow who is slave to
strong drink.
And, to say the truth, SO far as the
mere habit is concerned, we cannot see
the difference. So we are constrained to
say of our clerical friends, "Nice fellows
Pity they smoke. '-Packard's Month";.
