The Flaw.Hunters.

There are people who have preternatu-
raj faculty for detecting evil, or the APP
pearance of evil, in every mans character.
They have fatal scent for carrion. Their
memory is like a museum once saw at n
medical college, and illustrates all the hid
eous distortions, and monstrous growths
and revolving diseases by which humanity
can be troubled or afflicted. They think
they have wonderful knowledge of hui
man nature. But is blunder to mistake
the Newgate Calendar for biographical
dictionary.
A less offensive type of the same tenden-
cy leads some people to find apparent sat-
isfaction in the discovery and proclama-
ton of the slightest defects in the habits
of good men and the conduct of public in
stitutions. They cannot talk about the
benefits conferred by great hospital with
out 1amenting some insignificant blot in
its laws, and some trifiing want of pru-
dence in its management Speak to them
about q man whose good works everybody
is admiring, and they cool your ardor by
regretting that he is so rough in his man
ner, or so smooth-that his temper is so
hasty, or that he is SO fond of applause.
They seem to hold brief, requiring of
them to prove the impossibility of human
perfection. They detect the slightest alloy
in the pure gold of human goodness. That
there are spots in the sun is, with them,
something more than an observed fact-it
takes rank with a 2oriori and necessary
truths.
There are people who, if they hear an
organ, find out at once which are the poor
est stops. If they listen to great speak
er, they remember nothing but some slip
in the construction of a sentence, the con-
sistency of metaphor, or the evolutions
of an argument. While their friends are
odmiring the wealth and beauty of tree
whose branches are weighed down with
fruit, they have discovered solitary
bough lost in the golden affiuence, ON
which nothing is hanging.
Poor Hazzlitt was sorely troubled with
them in his time. "Littleness," he said,
''is their element, and they give a charac-
ter of meanness to whatever they touch"
Good Words.

Anusements.

Amusements that are quite lawful in
themselves may become unlawful from eX-
cess. Just as eating and drinking are law
full yet even of wholesome things man
may eat and drink too much There is in
temperance in innocent recreation. We
must bear in mind that amusement is not
meant to be the main thing, or a main
thing, in life 1t is to serious work what
sweet things are to food, and ornament is
to dress. A man always playing is like a
man who should live on honey, or a wom-
an who should cover herself with flowers.
1t is sometimes amusing to hear persons
insist on the necessity of recreation whose
whole life is one of indulgence. Pleasure
is intended to repair the exhaustion of la
Dor, but, If excessive, it is weakening. We
have all, ii we care to find them, spheres of
toll of some kind-serious engagements.
We have to work for our bread, or TO cul-
tivate our minds, or to do good TO the
world and recreation should be an agree
able change from, and an indirect auxiliary
to, our main employments. But if by its
amount it weary, and dissipate, and unfit
Us, in taste or energy, for the real tasks of
duty and necessity, whatever II Is in itself
1t becomes wrong Evening parties may
be innocent enough, however dull, but to
prolong them till after decent people should
be i'm bed, and come home, perhaps, on
Sunday morning, jaded and feverlsh, and
untitled in mind and body for work or
worship on the following day, may be very
far from innocent. 1t Is we'll for little chill
dren TO meet together for pleasant inter-
course and cheerful games, but for little
children to be returning, and from Chris
tian households, at midnight, instead of
dreaming their childish dreams, is any
thing but proper Any mode of recreation
may become unlawful from excess, 1t may
undo its own work, and instead of re-
freshment, become a WEAKNESS, and in
stead Of quickening, depress the energies.
Lawful amusement must be limited by re-
gard 10 the proper ends of amusement; if
they interfere with health and duty, and
the good order of individual and domestic
life their measure IL unlawful.

Earthquake at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April AT 1850 AM,
to-day, sharp, wicked shock of earth
quake occurred here. It's duration was six
seconds-the direction from southeast to
northwest, and the motion vertical. There
was no damage TO life or property, but there
was intense excitement for a few moments
All animals were terribly frightened and
several runaways resulted from the fright.
The City Hall, where the courts were in
session, the Merchants Exchange, the Mer-
camille Library, the Custom House, and
other large buildings were instantly va
Gated, and panic was created at the hotels.
The streets swarmed with people i'm a mo-
ment. 1t was raining at the timer Prior
to the shock the barometer was observed to
fall very rapidly.

Squibs.

Why is an old bachelor like a euchre
player who holds in his hands certain
cards? Because he is willing to Ego it
alone.'
An exchange speaks of a man as having
drank toast recently to the coming fe-
male lawyer" Have we not always had
fee-male lawyers?
Why is the hope of democracy, that
Grants administration would prove a fail
ure, like an egg dropped on the pavement
from third-story window? Because it's
a "busted thing"
We have heard it said that ga friend in
need is a friend indeed" We. can't see it
in that light. We have a friend who is
always standing in need of quarter, but
we don't consider him much of a friend
after all-he never pays it back.

DICKENS FAREwELI.--On March 18th,
Mr.. Charles Dickens supplemented his
farewell reading at st. James Hall with
few extempore remarks - IL would be
worse than fdle,u he said, ~ for 1t would be
hypocritical and unfeeling If were to dis
guise that close this episode in my life
with feelings of very considerable pain.
For some fifteen years, in this hall and
many kindred places, I have had the honor
OF presenting my own cherished ideas be-
fore you for your recognition, and in close
iy observing your reception Of them, have
enjoyed an amount Of artistic delight and
instruction which perhaps IL Is given to
few men to know. In this task, and in
every other / have ever undertaken as
faithful servant of the public, always in,-
bued with a sense of duty to them, and al
ways striving to do his best, / have been
uniformly cheered by the readiest response,
the most generous sympathy and the most
stimulating support. Nevertheless, have
thought IL well at the full fIood-tide of your
favor, to retire upon those older associations
between us, which date from much further
back than these, and henceforth to devote
myself exclusively to the art which first
brought us together. Ladies and gentle
men, In but two short weeks from this time
hope that you may enter, in your homes,
on new series of reading at which my as
sistance will be Indispensable but from
these garish lights i vanish now forever
more, with one heartfelt, grateful, respect
ful and affectionate farewell"

less and forlorn creature, was beloved! L
assure you / did not hate Mr.. Borden when
/ said Yes" and when he drew me to
him and kissed me with almost solemn
fervor, my heart thrilled as it never had
before.
We were married Learned to love him,
tc look upon him as the embodiment of all
that was good and noble.
We we're very happy. We had been
married about three months, when my
husband proposed that we should together
visit my old home-my parents. The pro-
position should have come from me but 1t
did not. We wrote to tell them we were
coming, and without waiting for reply,
followed the letter Immediately. ia
II was atthe last station but one that the
most terrible shock of my life met me.
When the train stopped, gentleman Is
sued from the next carriage to ours, and
passed slowly along the platform, without
looking towards us, l sat like petrifac-
ton, for 1t was the face of Arthur Lorraine
i had seen-changed and aged, of course,
but his face. He was not dead, then.
My husband touched me. "What is it,
Ellen? Are you ill?" he asked, tenderly.
L shrank close to him, chung to him
convulsiyely. I'VE shall be home soon, y
said "Wait till we are home; 1 will tell
you then"
And startled as he was he humored me.
1 drew my veil closely over my face, and
sat clinging to him and struggling with my
terror and pain. Was to lose him, after
all my love, my own husband? What was
the other to me? was half tempted to
entreat him to turn back whence we had
| come, here at our journeys end.
Home once more-my dear husband won
dering, but patient and kind. My father
and my step-mother welcomed us eagerly
not look ON either face spoke of Arthur
Lorraine. They did not know it, then.
Everybody started when I cried out in
my agony that had seen Arthur Lorraine.
My step-mother comprehended the situs-
ton first.
You poor child" she said soothingly
as she took me in her arms. " 1t was AR
thurs brother you saw. They are wonder
fully alike, and you have been away SC
long,
1t was true. Heaven knows if was
wicked as I sobbed out my thankfulness on
my husbands shoulder.

was referred to a committee and the

fifteen hundred pounds, and that will
cost not less than $700, and bell of that
weight would bear down any steeple we

THE SURRENDER OF METZ.


The dull current Of news from the seat
OF war has at last been broken bv an
event of the first magnitude, which,
though long expected, will have a very
great moral effect on the pending confess.
The city and fortress Of Metz have canitr.
lated, with one hundred and twenty tEou-
sand men, including the sick and wound
ed. The last French army, and the last
french commander of any note. -except
Trochu and the beleauged forces in Paris.
have fallen into the hands of the Ger
mans, and the Prussian army. which has
so long besieged that stronghold. Is now
at liberty to march against Tours, Lyons.
Marsellles, or any othe. point where any
considerable number of French yolan
teers may have been collected. There IS
no hope now, IN a military
point Of view, for France. Her DeoDle
have not exhibited any power of recup-
Grafton or spirit OF resistance which can
lead any one to expect that she can stand
up against this new avalanche Of disaster.
Although the capitulation Of Bazaine has
been only question of time since the
18th OF August, the event is one which
is calculated to add powerfully to the de-
preston and dependency of the French
people and government. 1t only remains
Tor them to accept such terms As the con-
queror imposes on them. The tables are
turned at last. Jena and Austerlitz
are avenged. and the occupation of Ber-
lin will, in all human probability, be an
swered by the occupation Of Paris. IF
Prussia now demands AIsace and Lor-
raine, she will get them, and if Size de-
mands the repayment Of the contribu-
tons levied upon Germany by the First
Napoleon, she will get that, too. = Cht
