And kissed the glad face that he drew to his
breast.

COVERING UP THE SCAR-When an
eminent painter was requested to paint
Alexander the Great, SO as to give per-
feet likeness Of the Macedonian conquer
or, he felt n difficulty. Alexander, in
his wars, had been struck by sword,
and ncroSs his forehead was an immense
scar. The painter said II | retain
the scar, il will be an offense to the adj
mirers of the monarch /; and if I omit
it, it will fail to be perfect likeness
what shall do 2" He hit upon happy
expedient; he represented the Emperor
leaning upon his elbow, with his fore
finger upon his brow, accidentally. as it
seemed, covering the scar upon his fore
head Might we not represent each
other with the finger of charity upon
the scar, instead of representing the scai
deeper and hlacker than it actually is
Might not Christinns learn from heath
cnism n lesson of charity, of human kind
ness and love

Trihes.

The griefs that fall to every share,
The heavier sorrow that life brings,
The heart can nerve itself to bear
Great sorrows are half holy things.
But for the ills each hour must IN Ike,
The cares with every day renewed,
1t seems scarce worth the while to take
Such little things with fortitude.
And he before whose WI s5ned might
The strongest enemies must fall,
Is overcome by foes 30 slight,
He scorns 10 hold them foes at all.

If the world seems cold to YOU,
Kin e fires to warm it
Let their comfort hide from view
Winters that deform it.
Hearts as frozen as your own
TO that radiance gather;
You will soon forget to moan

If the worlds vale of tears,

Breathe the love that life andearsl
Clear from clouds to fan it.

Unto souls that shiver;

s. C'Est Lui."

Come, little bark, come to the land
Come, little sail over the sea
As she shades her sweet eyes with her hand,
And half doub-s as she murmurs " C'est lu.
There's line Of white light on the blue,
There's path through the depths to her feet
And the dark sail is Fastening through,
And the last hour of waiting is sweet
But the length Of an oar to the land
Can she guess what the meeting will
Sweet eyes shaded by little brown hand,
Sweet lips parted and saying "Cest lui."

French Prisoners in Germany.

The Boston JOnrHdi publishes letter,
from a German view, concerning the
French prisoners in Deutschland from
which we make the following extracts:
Since the capitulation of Balaine's
army at Metz, the number of French
prisoners now in Germany is estimated
at some three hundred and thirty thou
sand men, of all descriptions of arm
lanciers, pionniert, artillery, chasseurs
de NIncennes and chasseurs d'Afrique,
Turcos. Spahis. and Zonnves-in short,
every branch of the French service, ana
from Napoleon himself, one Of his Mar
shals, numbers of Generals and higher
officers, downwards There has been
such an invasion Of Germany by them at
every fresh capture, the great question
III Germany has been Where shall we
put them 2 for tbs fortresses were full
long ago and during the fine weather
the prisoners could occupy their tents
without dctriment, but now that the
rainy season has commenced, provision
has to be made for them within doors.
But where , That is the all-ahsorhing
question of the day, while the railroads
from Lorraine are pouring in without
cessation ten thousand prisoners every
day, Of the famishod army that has been
cooped up among the outworks of Metz
ever since the battle of MARSHA Tour and
Gravelotte.
They sent us 1000 prisoners from
Weisenburg, 6,0OO from Wocrth. $500
from Spi2heron, l,377 from Saargemund,
Haguenau, Lichtonberg, 1900 from
Vionville, 5000 from Gravelottc. $3.50
from Nitry. $500 from Beaumont. 81, ij0
from Sedan, 1000 from IIaon, 2, 30 from
Toul 10 Oou from Strasbourg. and over
5000 n yet from Paris, and now l73.OOO
from Metz. Altogether this makes a
grand total of about $50 600 men. includ-
ing nearly 10000 officers and four
rubals

Early Winter Fashions.

The materials intended for Winter
wear are excessively rich, both in color
and quality. For morning dress, pop
Inns, silks, reps, either Of wool or silk,
satin-cloth, cachemire and velveteen
These are only admissible in dark colors,
light shades being reserved entirely for
evening or full-dre S visits. For the
latter occasion, satins, plain or striped,
rich poult de sois, gros-grains, faillies,
velvets plain and terry, will be much
worn. Toilets of two materials will be
greatly in flavor, such as cachemire or
poplin and silk. velvet and satin. The
effect of different materials in the same
color is very elegant, a in thoroughly
good style. Striking colors are not like
ly to be worn together by our elegdntes;
in fact, this Winters toilets promise to
assume more sombre hue than 5ual,
except for dinrer and other evening oc-
casions. The reversi lie striped satins
are excessively elegant and rich. We
have seen many specimens of them they
are very thick, and fall in splendid folds.
We have seen some of these made up
with part of the dress-with one side of
the silk, and the tunic of the other !; for
instance, an under-skirt of blue and white
satin. the tunic made with the same satin
reversed, showing black and white
stripes. The toilet was more startling
than el giant; but another of striped
satin, with "A court train of pl lin satin,
bodice of the same, with revers, nous
qutaire cuffs, and basques lined with the
striped satin, w1s decidedly more elegant.
and much richer in appearance.-Fashioa

An AMUSING STORY Is told by the Rev
j. q. Wood in his recently published
" Natural History of Man." illustrative
of the power exerted by fashion even on
savage minds Itappears that an English
vessel reached an African port, n large
part of her cargo consisting of iron wire,
nearly the whole of which was bought
by the natives and straightway disap-
pearei, the crew bein Z left to con- ecture
what had become of it. But soon the
solution of the mystery was found, for
the kaifir bellies appeared in new,
striking costume. Some of them had
visited towns inhabited by Europeans,
and there had seen some wire cages
hanging outside Diapers shops, and
which they were told were the fashionable
attire Of European ladies. This fact SO
fired them 30 emulation that as soon as
the boat laden with wire appeared they
traded for the new commodity, went away
and ma ic" cages such rs they had seen.
and with them adorned their charms, not
having the slightest idea that anything
hut wire was II 'cessary to put them in
full European costume.

A Dinner for Ten Cents.

The cheap food question, in its con-
nection with the importance of meat
from Australia, so largely dealt with last
Winter, has again been opened In Eng
land, at IL meeting of medical officers for
different parts of London, who were
called upon to pronounce an opinion
with regard to the wholesome character
of the food Among those present were
DIR. Lankester and Dr. Hardwicke, the
Coroner and Deputy Coroner, DR.. Adds,
DR.. Septlmus Gibbon, Dr. Letheby, the
Rev. Septimus Hansard, and many other
gentlemen well known as taking an in
terest in the social progress of the
people. The meats were served to the
company by Mr.. Tallerman IN the CON
dition in which they are being served to
the people in Penny Dinners" namely,
cooked with vegetables or with barley,
as mutton broth prepared Scotch fashion,
pea soup, rice soup, and the entrees were
mince collops, hariot mutton, fried ham,
sausages, meat and rice, meat pies, and
puddings
Many of these dishes were retailed at
two pence, and some at penny. afford

days for an abatement of three pence on
the week. The dinners as served were
pronounced TO be excellent, and the
large company voted Mr.. Tallerman
thanks for his efforts, carried out at con-
siderable trouble, to overcome the pre-
/ judices of the people against the good
and wholesome meats now exported
from Australia. Mr. Tallerman, in
reply, stated that it was his purpose to
1 persevere in this labor, and he informed
his audience that vast quantity of
meats had been imported and were lying
at the docks in tons, there being no
market for il, and this at time, too,
when meat was very dear in England
