CAPE COD WOMEN.

Nowhere else in all New England will
one see SO high an average of female beau
to of figure and hair and skin, as among
the young girls of one of the peninsular
towns on Sunday, and in no place is the
change produced by the lapse of years,
from twenty to thirty, SO painful and obyi.

and suggests itself at once, to one who
sees the congregations of women, with
here ard there an old sick man among
them, and then skip all the years of active
life down to early childhood before he
finds the male sex again represented.

there are no men or boys on shore and if v, d

spend his life fish;ng in the summer and
coastlng in the wiuter. Now, imagine
one OF them sitting IN her little home two
years married, with her baby in the cradle,
and the northeaster bowling without.

TIME AS AN ARTIST.

We clip the following beautiful extract
from one of Geo. G. Ginty' very racy and
readable letters published in the State
Regaster AS pen painter ne believe
he excels Old Time himself:
4 rare old artist is Time, as he goes
along on his successful career. Poets and
dreamers may call him tomb builder
may sing cf his skill il constructing the
sarcophagus where youth and beauty
slumber side by side--but they err
That the old fellow is architect enough
to plan a tomb, is possible. A jeweler
may hoe his potato patch, without being
a Fenian. And Time can vary his occu-
patton, and not lose his regular standing
at the brush. A close student will find
that in the great business directory Of
Nature, he is set down as an ARTISAN
artist without rival. I know, that when
the summer is passed away, and the little
flowers are sick unto death, one Frost sets
up his easel with the usual sign "castom

A BLAZING WoRLD.-In the year
1866 star blazed up in the constellation
of the Northern Grown, rapidly attaining
the second magnitude. It soon began to
decline in brightness, falling ID twelve
days to the eighth magnitude. 1t was
su bjected to spectroscopic observation by
William Higgins shortly after it began
to fade. This experienced observer was
surprised with the phenomenon of two
distinct spectra. One of these was the
ordinary spectrum of dark lines, showing
the existence of a photosphere of inean
descent solid or liquid matter, inclosed in
vaporous atmosphere. Overlying this
was spectrum consisting of four bright
lines. This plainly proved the existence
of second source of light, shown oy it's
peculiar spectrum to be a luminous gas.
Two ofthese lines were the prominent
hydrogen lines, and their great bright
ness showed the gas to be hotter than the
photosphere. The conclusion was OBJ
vious the observer beheld a blazing
world A sudden food of free hydrogen
gas had apparently burst from the inter-
ior of the star, and was fereely burning
ing contact with some other element.
The intense heat of this confagration had
also heated the photosphere, SO as to rem
der its spectrum more vivid. If, then,
the stars are thus liable to become en-
wrapped in the flames of burning hydro
gen, we may speculate as to what would
be the fate of the inhabitants Of the
planets were our sun to emulate the yag-
aries of its sister orbs aud burst out iu
mighty confagration.- Nag

RURAL TASTEs.-At ST. Louis not long
ago. couple of rural individuals were
walking along the levee. Some Of the
sewer mouths were exposed, and few of
the smaller ones were broken down so that
they looked like natural springs. One of
the countrymen, who was walking IN front
of the other, suddenly called out: ''Look
here Jim, here's another spring"
"Well, gaul darn i" replied Jim, ''if the
water IS no better in this-ons than IN the
last one, I dom want a drink from 1t.

DocroR MARTINS PIe-Maoy years
ago DR.. Martin, Of Louisiana, was brag-
ging one day, a. grocery, to his friend
Tom Buckshur, of the superiority of his
swine, and in fit of hberality he prom
ised to send home an infantine specimen
to Tom as present. Tom said he would
be delighted to raise SO valuable an ami
NAL and in due time the Doctors boy
Bob was dispatched with covered bas-
ket contain ng little grunter. Now,
Sam Smith, who kept the grocery, and
heard the arrangement, was an inveterate
wag; and when he saw Bob with his bas-
ket, he called him in and asked him where
ne was going. Bob--Ise gwine to Massa
Tom Buckshur's with this yer little black
pig as present from Massa Doctor
Smith asked Bob in to let him look at the
pig; Bob went in set down lis basket, and
the pig was duly inspected. AS mat
ter of course Bob was asked to take some
thing to drink and, while drinking, Smith
contrived to abstract the pig from the bas-
ket, and substitute black pup of about
the same weight. Bob did not discover
the cheat but trudged along with his bur
den until he came to Bucsshur's premises.
Buekshur received the basket, saying
Is this the Doctors pig? Bob-Yes,
massa, and berry fine pig nc be, too,
(lifting up the cover black as coal.
To the utter astonishment of Bob and
Buckhur, there lay little. black curly
puppy. Bucksher-Why, that is no pig,
but puppy. Bob-Bress de Lord, he
be pig when [ put him in de basket. but
he change to pup! Buckshur-Take him
back, and tell DR.. Martin that I don't
want to be fooled with his puppies, and if
he don't want to give me Buckshire pig,
to say so. Bob started back, and naturally
enough stopped at the grocery to relate
his mishap to Sam Smith, who heard him
out with countenance expressive of
wonder, at the same time doing his best
to control his increasing desire to burst
into fits. He again asked Bob to take
drink, and again changed the contents of
the basket, this time putting therein the
genuine grunter. On arriving back home,
Bob told Of his reception, and of the mys.
terious transformation of the pig into
pup. The Doctor was somewhat incredu.
lous as to the truth of the story, when Bob,
with flourish of insulted veracity, open
ed the lid of the basket, when 10 there
was the identical pig that he had started
with. Bob stood transfixed, and with
eyes protruding, and mouth open, remark
ed, fore God, 'taint no use, Massa, he be
pup or pig, just as he pleases." The mat
ter was finally settled by the Doctor riding
over to Buckshurs with the disputed pig,
but the mystery was not solved until some
time after, when Sam Smith told the
story, and the Doctors pig became by
word for miles arnlind
