The Gauges.

We have all heard of the Ganges.-
Some Of our renders may have visited
its banks and navigated its sacred waters.
To the majority however, we sup
pose the Garages is only name. 1t
is the holy river of the Hindoos. By
them it has always been accounted the
most sacred Of rivers. The devotee hast
ems to perform his ebutions with its wa
ter, and believes himself purified from all
sin; or he resolves on sacrifice, and of
fers himself as a victim, by the commits
sion of suicide in the river The feet Of
the diving are immersed in it, tina. the
departing spirit may 60 straight to the
Hindoo paradise; and, even in British
courts Of Justice, Hindoos are sworn up
on its waters, as Christians and Moham-
medans are on their sacred books. The
Ganges Is an essential part of Hindoois,D.
But the English, if they value their In
dian possessions, are as much indebted
to the Ganges as The Hindoos themselves.
1t is the great highway by which they
have acquired their richest possessions,
and the grand rote of communications by
which they now maintain their authority
Like the Nile, the Gauges is subject
to annual foundations. The tropical rains
are in both instance the cause-but with
this difference: the Nile is effected by
rains which fall in its upper regions only ;
the Ganges by rains which descend
throughout its whole extent. The waters
besi to rise in April, at first by very
slow degrees, but gradually increasing
from one inch TO three inches in the DAY.
The fall of rain does not begin in Bengal
till the middle of June. by which time
the increase of rise is five inches day
at the beginning of August a decrease
takes place, and from that month to No
yember the waters gradually sink to their
old level.
The foundations, though fully antici
pated, have sometimes occasional great
disasters. A single flood of the Ganges
has destroyed fifty thousand persons
The whole Of the surrounding country
has been covered, and the loss of prep
ert,, as well ms of life, has been very
great.
The banks OF the Ganges are orna
meuted and enriched by many populou
cities; and thousands Of villages. tenn
Piles, and bongalows impart pictures

Each great git: is trust from COL
The functions of man of great genius
is TO do for the rest what they cannot DO
for themselves. Every faculty a man
has is amenabls to the conscience and
Gods law, and is to be used for its own

not less. What if Raphael had painted
for his own eye, and then burned up his
pictures; what if Shakespeare had writ
ten dramas for his family and few
friends; what if Newton had shown his

WHAT IS AN EDIroRl-Some one an
swers this question thus; "Why. he is
the man who reads the newspapers. writes
articles on any subject, talks to all Who
call, is blamed for a hundred things
which are nobody's business but bis own,
helps people to get into office who for

He works and does more to build up n
town than any other body, and the miser
and the fogy are benefited thereby; yet

PLEASANT Would you
like to be able, just for fun of the
thing" to take coin out Of a plate of
water without wetting your fingers?-
This is the way: Fill a plate with water
TO the depth of a quarter of an inch; a
coin is then placed in the water. A piece
of paper is lighted, put, while burning.
on the surface of the water, and covered
with tumbler. As the paper burns,
the water will rush up under the lumber
and leave the coin in the plate, when it
may be lifted without wetting the fingers.
Here is the way to take impressions
of any veined leaf you may wish to copy:
Brush over thick leaf of leitor paper
with oil; bold it over the smoke of a
lamp until well .blackcned; take a perfect
leaf having pretty outline; after warm.
ing il between the hands. lay the leaf
upon the smoked side of the paper, with
the under side down; press it evenly
upon the paper, that eyers part may
come in contact; 90 over it lightly with
n rolling pin, then remove the leaf with
care. TO plain piece of white note paper;
cover it with another piece of white pa.
per and use the rolling pin sga;n; you
will then have beautiful impression OF
the d ,lieate veins and outline Of the leaf.
Ferns generally make fine leaf pictures.

What pitiful thing an old bachelor is;
With hi, cheerIess house and Tueful phiz!
On bi tier cold night. when the niece winds blow,
nd " hen all the earth i covered with snow
when rs fire is out and in shivering dread
lie sims 'neath the sheets of his lonely bed
D. How he draws up his toes,
All encased in yarn hose,
And he buries his nose
Meath the chilly bei-clothes,
That his nose and his toes,
Still eucaSed la yarn hose.
MAY not chance to get froEe
Then he puTs ami he blows. and SAYS that he knows
o mortal on earth suffered Hch woes,
And with his abs and with obs,
With his limbs Ia dispose,
So that neither his toes nor bis may be froze,
To his slumber in silence the bachelor goes.
In the MORN when the cock and the is just
rose,
From bsneath the bed-clothes
Pops the bachelors nose,
And you may suppose, when he hears how the wind
bltws,
Seq Ike windows all froze,
Why back meath the clothes pops the poor fellows
nose;
For full we'll he knows If from bed he rose
To put on his clothes, that he'd surely be froze.

ANOTHER SKELETON STORY.
nY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS.

We have all heard great many; but
this one is too good and too true to lose.
| know that it is true. for Goggs told me
so himself, and Goggs is Professor in
a Theological seminary; his hair is a
little. gray, and he wears spectacles; be
breaches sermons at inagurations. and
dedications, and installations, and cele-
brations, and anniversaries, and Thanks.
giving days and funerals, and on great
many other festive occasions; he lectures
on total depravity. and writes lis name
with D. d. So of course the story
must be true.
When it happened, Goggs was not a
Professor in Theological Seminary -
He had never lectured on total depravitv.
He had never preached at an inaugura
ton, or a dedication, or an Installation, or
celebration, or anniversary, or Thanks
giving day or funeral.
He was a little curly haired college
boy, IL years old. He was first rate
first CATCH and the best 'grasshopper' in
the gymnasium.
He could tie sheep into the Presidents
chair, aud hide the Janitor's matches,
and put cow into the chapel belfry.
and stick to ventilator three hours and
a half, to hear what was going on in a
secret society that he didn't belong to.
He knew how to put the undertskef's
sign on the Doctors door, and lager beer
advertisements in the minister's hat; he
knew how to haze Freshmen and dodge
policemen. and trip tutor 10 rush; ;
he knew how 10 translate Virgil, and-a
little-Anabasis.
He could prompt and skin, nine times
out Of ten, without being found out, and
the tenth time apologize for it with such
a story from Punch that the Professor
hid to laugh-and consequently to for
give him, everybody bore with him.
The worse he behaved the bctter every
body liked him. At least that was the
case with the Professor, and that seemed
to be how be came to have the skeleton.
1t certainly couldn't have been on &C.

Poetry is the -four of literature; prose
is the corn, potatoes and meat; satire is
the ncqua forts; wit is the spice and
pepper; love letters are the honey and
sugar and letters containing remittanees

Don't keep in a constant fret about
things that may be annoying, or worry
about things you can't help. Troubles
are not lighteued by fretting. The true
remedy is to keep cool and try to
master difficulties, and not let them
master you.

All in the still and ice bound dark
They watched the young moons tender spark
Go behind the trees; yet light
Was all The world, for love was bright.
Two lovers in the starless gloom
The land around has dearth OF bloom;
The singing west-wind blowing bleak
Comes snow-chilled from its mountain peak
Gaunt branches on each ieafless tree
Above them creeping mournfulIy;
Wild natures joyous life is fed;
All things in shroud of snow lie dead.
Afar the rivers noiseless flow,
Majestic, black,-a tide of woe,-
Rolls meath the dark sublimity
And moving wonder of the sky.
Two lovers IN that wintry weather
Watching the falling bloom together;
Though all around was dark and bare,
Their hearts were light, for love was there.
Sweet summer came. The snow uprose,
With siIyery cleaning TO disclose
The scene, and softest luster she'd;
Yet earth was dark, for love had fed.
Two lovers in the pale moonlight
Around is peace of lovely night;
A hidden bird the leaves among
Pours forth its ecstacy in song
The grooming perfume laden breeze
From rified flowers and blossOming trees,
Fondles the tresses Of her hair,
Which in that light turn golden there
Before the fleece clouds drifting free,
The creeping shadows hurrying flee;
And over all. with onward sweep,
The stars their ceaseless marches keep
Long narrow strips of white light rect
Upon the pc ceful rivers breast,
Which flashes up her jewelled hands
In greeting TO the starry bands
Two lovers In the moon-lit place
Turning each heavy, death-pale face
On lavish beauties all outspread,-
Black, black, was life, for love had fed.
Your pleasures warm with fitful CLEAN,
World, our hearts so sick and cold
Love love this is the only beam
That gives life's lead its tint of gold.

ABOUT PUBLIC EXPENSES,

Ono of the misfortunes of the Picayune
and Bulletin is an awkward willingness
POSSIBLY the word anxiety" would bet
ter describe the idea which is herein in
tended to be conveyed) to be considered
the friends of everybody and everything.
This is not an unworthy ambition, but it
is terribly impracticable in these days
when there are so many things which
must be condemned by the citizen who
pretends even half way to do his duty.
And though these papers have manifested
great ability in accommodating themselves
to their disposition, perhaps their effort
to be conciliatory has even left pang &C.
casionally in places where they sought to
bestow comfort and consolation. We
have case in point just now that sus-
tains our very suggestion as if it
had been made for use in this
identical argument. It is in this that
the Picayune and Bulletin never let an
occasion pass for administering sugges-
tons to the city fathers about the neces-
sity of this or that improvement, or the
propriety of this or that expenditure,
which is an adroit way of keeping in
with both the interest that seeks for ben
efits from the city treasury, and the in
