THERE are few but are sometimes in a Sc
rious fit; but how few are in serious frame,
and have an abiding sense of God upon their
hearts?

MAKE THE MOST OF THEM.-Southey says
in one of his letters, 81 have told you of the
Spanard who always put on his spectacles
when he was about to eat cherries, that they
might look the bigger and more tempting.
In like manner, make the most OF most en-
joyments, and though | do not cast my cares
away, I pack them in as little compass as I
can, and carry them as conveniently as [
can for myself, and never let them annoy
others"

MIR. HardhacIE ON Sensational
Stories.

1t is your ordinary, matter fact,
bread-and-butter, practical people, rath-
or than your romantic and poetic ones,
who are swindled by sensations. The
sensation is a revolt against humdrum,
through the means of vulgar wonder.
Let me tell you an illustrative story,
Once upon a time, a vagabond peddler
appeared in a secluded village, and call
ed the people around him by ringing a
big bell. When his audience had be-
come sufficiently large, he stopped ring
ing in order to make this announce.
ment "All you young women here
with small mouths will have husband"
The spinsters present pursed and puck
cred up their lips, and murmured, "Dear
me what a pretty little mani" Then
be rung his bell again, with still more
startling emphasis, and said IN his deep
est and loudest tones: "And all you
young women here with large mouths
will have two!" Instantly the lips
were stretched to their utmost width
and from them all came the wondering
exclamation, Claw" Now don't tell
me that Miss Braddon hadn't heard of
this story when she wrote "Aurora
Floyd" for it was exactly this open.
mouthed wonder that she desired to
produce when she made the interest of
her plot centre in bigamy. You know,
cir, how quickly you, and the rest Of
people like you, exclaimed, CLAW"
The great defect, then, to my notion,
Of the romancers of rascality is, that
there's no romance in them They
treat you to hard, ugly "slangy," pro-
saic fact, and throw in some wild nom
sense, or brutal ruflianism, or cynical
villiany, just to give it coast zest.
Neither sentiment nor imagination is
addressed. The heroes commit just
such crimes, and encounter just such
penalties, as you find printed in the
newspaper records Of the criminal
courts. Take Miss Braddon's "Birds
of Prey" which is one Of her latest at
tempts at a sensation, and notice how
bare and bleak is the atmosphere of tho
story, and how commonplace as well as
bad is the company she drags you into
But this photographing OF poisoners
and swindlers is not Characterization -

where you fear your pocket will be

CoRsETs AND CHGNoNs,-Medical
statistics in France, it is said, have
proved that mortality among the female
sex has diminished since corsets have
become less lashionablei but that the
wearing of the ohignons increases dis
eases of the brain, with frequently fatal
results. We imagine that the increased
mental disturbance is mostly occasioned
by the efforts and anxieties of the fair
ones in adjusting their chignons,-

Ii is noticeable how many people
there are in the world that seem bent
always upon the same purpose ofamuse-
ment or business as ones self. 1t you
keep quietly about your accustomed at
fairs, there are all your neighbOrs and
acquaintance hard at it tooi if you go
on journey, choose what train you
will, the cars are filled with travellers in
your direction. You take days pleas
ure, and everybody abandons his usual
occupation to crowd upon your boat,
whether it is to Gloucester, or to Ma
hant, or to Nantasket Beach you go.
suppose that these were not very
remarkable people, and that nothing
but the indomitable interest our friends
took in the human race could have en-
abled them to feel any concern in their
companions. 1t was, no doubt, just
such company as goes down to Nan
tasket Beach every pleasant day in sum-
mer. Certain ones among them were
distinguishable as sojourners at the
beach, by an air of familiarity with the
busin ess of getting there, an indiffer.
ence to the prospect, and an indefinable
touch of superiority. These read their
newspapers in quiet corners, or, if they
were not of the newspaper sex, made
themselves comfortable in the cabins,
and looked about them at the other
passengers with looks of lazy surprise
and just hint of scorn for their inter-
est in the boats departure. Our days
pleasurers took it that the lady whose
steady gaze had reduced them, when at
lunch, to such a low ebb of shabbiness,
was regular boarder, at least, in one
of the beach hotels. A few other pas
sengers were, like themselves, mere
idlers for day, and were eager to see
oil that the boat or the voyage offered
Of novelty. There were clerks and men
who had bookkeeping written in neat
mercantile hand upon their faces, and
who had evidently been given this after
noon for a breathing-timei and there
were strangers who were going down
to the beach for the sake of the charm
ing view of the harbor which the trip
afforded. Here and there were people
who were not to be classed with any
certainty, as pale young man, hand
some in his undesirable way, who look
cd like a steamboat pantry boy not yet
risen to be bartender, but rapidly ris-
ing, and who sat carefully balanced up
on the railing ofths boat, chatting with
two young girls, who heard his broad
sallies with continual smokers, and in
terchanged saucy comments with that
prompt up.and-coming manner which
is so large a part of non-humorous hu.

AFs! THOSE BBowN EYES.
20 Who Knows.

Not long since young gentleman from
Columbia, we shant say who, but he Is a
gentleman. fell all over in love with a pair
Of lovely brown eyes, peach cheeks and an
extraordinary bundle of fricasseed hair.
But time, which has faculty of passing,
passed, and took with it the brown eyes
and false hair. Strange to say, her lover
took it into his head to act as senslbly as
did Mahomet, who went to the noun
tain that would not come to him. This
was happy conclusion for a lover to come
to. especially as it was a very cold day, cold
days and damp feet not being conducive to
such manly determination. Away he went,
wrapped in the solitude of his own imagi-
nation and a very snug Overcoat. Indeed,
1t becomes US to dwell on the snugness Of
this overcoat, as it was the handspring Of
dire woes unnumbered to our friend. It
was so warm, so genteel, 50 everything that
was necessary to the comfort Of the owner,
that he did not knowuntilhe reached Nash
vile, thathe hadnOthing on but his Overcoat.
What was a fascinating young man without
a dress pigeon-tail? He could not risk his
hopes Of winning the hair and brown eyes
with only an overcoat on. To the umpire
in such matters, he went, and that indi-
yidual settled the matter immediately by
advising him to telegraph for his beautiful
garment. The coat came IN due time, and
the Young man went off to the mountain
that would not come to him. We forgot
to mention the important fact that be ate

The English BreadstuFEs Trade.

The London correspondent Of the Fin
aRciag Chronicle under date of the 18th
ult., thus notices the trade in breadstuff5
during the previous week:
Owing to the large stocks of grain at the
outports, and to further large importations
from abroad, there is no activity in the de-
mand for wheat, and the tendency for prices
is downward. The weather has, however,
continued damp, and, consequently, the
condition of the wheat exhibits no improve
ment Fine dry samples Of home grown
produce have commanded, therefore, former
prices. AS regards foreign wheat, there is
fall of Is per quarter in Russian and
American produce. The statement of i'm
ports shows that, since the commencement
of the season, our receipts of foreign wheat
have been as much as 7,7CO, 600 cwt. more
than they were in 1853, while Of -four
there is an increase of l, $50, 600 cwt. Of
wheat and -four, therefore, there has been
an increased importation Of s, 5000 cwt.
OF indian corn there has been an increase
of 3,5OO.OOO cwt.; oats, 1,750,0OO cwt.;
but in barley, beans, and peas, there is
considerable falling off.
