The srudy-or Homer aud Virgil.

Homer is to be studied, as the head
and representative Of Greek poetry
The human mind reached the highest
grade of culture that is possible to Pa
ganism, in the Greek race; and the in
most spirit and energy of the Greek in
tellect is concentrated in the blind bard
of ChiOs. LOng-cOntinueG familiarity
with the Iliad and Odyssey imparts force,
fire and splendOr to the mental charac-
ter. It also imparts freshness, freedom
and enthusiasm. BOuchardOn said that
while reading Homer, his whole frame
appeared to himself to be enlarged, and
all surrounding nature to be diminished
to atoms The function of Homer is to
dilate and kindle the intellect.
Virgil is to be studied as the embodi-
ment of dignity and grace. Though
hardly severe and massive enough to be
a full representative Ofthe Roman mind
yet, upon the whole, he contains more
of its various characteristics than any
other Roman poet. He adequately rep
resents imperial Rome, If he does not
mOnarchical and Republican. The dig
nifty Of the Roman character is certain
" exhibited in the Virgilian poetry.
The influence of familiarity with the
Eneid, is highly refining. Men of ele-
CANT traits, like Canning and Robert
Hall, relish and quote Virgil. Every
thing in him is full of grace and pTOpri-
ETY.. Even in the Georges, though the
theme Is not favorable to the exhibition
of such qualities, they yet appear in
their height. AS Addison SAYS, the
farmer in the Georges tossing his dung
about with an air Of dignity. = Shsdd's

Repairing Facial Faults.

A man, now and then, has the misfor-
| tune to lose his nose. What would be
the greatest conqueror that ever lived
without this useful appendage? Many
man would as soon loose his life as
| his nose; hence the skill he exerted to
! supply its place when lost. Of old, the
organ was modelled, as far as possible, in
| the form of the old member, and then
| the permanent structure was shaped out
of beaten silver, which was enameled
so as to match the complexion. The
meta proboscis was commonly secured
to the face by means Of a pair of specta-
cles, which skillfully hid the line of
| juucture. There was one advantake in
this artificial nose, it needed no pocket
handkerchief; but then, it suffered the
the drawback of possessing no power of
smell. Guta-percha has lately been
used in place of metal; but, by means of
the rhinOplastic operation, the skilled
surgeon has of late years, taken all re-
pairs of the face of the OrthOpractiC
artist. The surgeon calls in Dame Ma
ture to his aid at once. Having made a
figure in wash-leather of the amount of
skin required to form the new member,
he marks the triangular outline upon
the patients forehead, with the base
upward. He now dissects the skin
dow to the bone, lifting the cellular It's
sue, together with all the blOod-vessels
that nourish it, The stump, or so much
of the nose that is retained, having been
pared down so as to give a good shape,
the flap of skin is twisted upon itself
just between the brOws, so as to main
tain the circulation, ,and then it is fastsn.
ed upon the superstruoture by sutures.
In a few days adhesion takes place, the
circulation is Thoroughly yre-established
and very fair prOboscis is the result.
Hair-lip, apertures in the cheek, are
now repaired at the smallest notice,
with admirable results In short the
skilled operator thinks no more of shift
ing patches of skin about from one part
of the frame to another than the garden ]
er thinks Of resodding a bare place in
the grass-plot. Even lips are made, but
not in this manner. When these have
to be restored, the mOdeler is called Ia. !
who models the features in silver. and |
Colors it. In these ways of artifcia |
Tightening by color, even this decep |
tion may pass muster; but all attempts |
at kissing must be left out, for obvi0us !
reasons. A very ingenious method is |
adopted of repairing and hearing, when !
there been no loss or rupture of the ea~. |
It often happens that the shell or fol
of skin which form the outward ear are
defective.

In the hope of saving some Of them a

but the vessel went to pieces so fast that
the only hope of life was Ey taking at

The last boat was about to push of,
when a young midshipman went back
to see if any one was still on board. r To

with hatchet in his hand, with which
he had broken several easks. the con-

when, after the battle of Sedan, he went
to the telegraph Office at BOuillon to
send off a dispatch of six hundred and
twenty words, all the German reporters
were seized with the utmost astonish-
ment. But had not been there but a
few minutes he goes on, when a cor
respondent of the New York Herald
came in who wished to send cable dis
patch of two thousand words to New
York. Like myself he was refused be-
cause neither of US had enough Of French
coin in his possession to pay for the dis
patch. Then we both rode in q buggy
to the railway at Libramont, and he
started for Brussels and I for Luxem-
burg. On the way to LibramOnt we
were Overtaken by DR.. Russell, of the
london Times, although we drove at a
headlOng speed and my American friend
swOTe like a trooper. When the battle
of Sedan began DR.. Russell had sent
messenger to the agent of the Times at
BOuillOn who was waiting for his orders,
to keep everything in readiness. When
the capitulatiOn had been effected next
morning and Napoleon had surrendered,
DR.. Russell hastened in q light sulky
from Sedan to BouillOn. There he ex-
changed his vehicle for a light chaise,
to which four horses were attached
which were waiting for him. and away
he dashed to LibTamOnt, where an eX-

Brussels to Ostend, and extra steamer

Why the Woman Lack RemuneratIve
Work.

Mr.. s. S. Packard writes in the ReUO-
/ luton, concerning bar to the elevation
/ of women workers, which possibly has
not been sufficiently taken into account
| by those of either sex who complain
that women do not have an equal
chance in the competition Of the labor
market. He says:
1t is a common but very foolish COM
| plaint on the part of women that they
have no chance in competition with men
for clerkships-as book-keepers, cashiers,
&c. The only reason why this is so, if
it is, Is because they are not COmpe tent
to do the work, and viii not prepare
themselves. A young man usually
earns his clerkship by a three or four
years apprenticeship as shop boy run
ner, and general utility work-an ap-
premiership which Is invaluable in its
training qualities, and which no girl can
be expected to accomplish. There are
plenty Of positions, however, attainable
by respectable young ladies without this
severe ordeal, and requiring only the
preliminary education in accountant
ship, and yet the comparatively small
number of young ladies who will even
spend few months to acquire this nee
essary knowledge is astonishing. Some
thing more than year ago 1 offered to
educate gratuitOusly for business fifty
women of whatever age or condition,
who should come well recommended,
and with the purpose to use the knOwl-
edge they might acquire in proper
way. Before making this offer I called
on number of business men who agreed
to employ in appropriate positions any
well qualified women I might send
them. This offer was published eXtens-
lively throughout the country; and was
favorably commented upon by editors
everywhere; and yet, though I have
kept the offer open to this time, not
more than ten ladies have availed them
selves of the offer, and none of these
have had the courage or persistence to
complete a course of instruction, or to
remain until qualified for position.
II is very wrong to presume that there
is prejudice against employing women
In clerical positions. l know of many
excellent houses IN this city where good
female accountants would be welcomed,
and in not a few would be preferred to
males But what is wanted is absolute
qualification for the position and will
ingness to do the duties.
learn that Peter Cooper is about to
extend his benofcence to cover the
preparation OF women for clerical posi-
tions. trust he viii do so, and that
some of these poor starving needle-wO
men, who are scarcely able to keep body
and soul together, may be able to avail
themselves of his kindness sufficiently
to obtain more suitable employment and
better wages; and then trust that faith
ers who are blessed with daughters hav-
ing brains and physical strength will ask
themselves what their heavenly gifts
are for, and govern themselves accord
ingly.
