"No. 117."-A good thing at recent
fair in Philadelphia was the art gallery,
and the best thing of the art gallery was
No. III. This mysterious number caused
a good deal of fun. The young lady at.
tendant was well suited for her position,
keeuly enjoying joke During the fair,
while she was alone with the works of art,
a young gentleman sauntered in, inspected
the exhibition of talent, laughed at the
puns. and was about to retire, when the
lady said "Oh you have not seen H."
The young fellow looked at his programme
l17-One sweet kiss before we part. :"
He blushod, gave hesitating step towards
the door, and again looked at the lady.
She piteously continued: "That is my
duty to show you; that is why am
here" The color grew deeper on the
poor fellows face. He looked as though
his faith in woman's modesty had received
death stroke as though men were
downtrodden and oppressed. The lady
advanced toward him, took his hand and
laid in it the biggest sugar kiss that you
can buy at the confectioner's. With q
sigh of relief, and guilty, confused look
at his own thought, the modest young
man burst into laugh, and confessed il
was the best joke of the fair.

AMUsEMENTs.-Every thing in Nature
INDUCES in amusement Of some kind. The
lightnings play, the wind whistles, the
thunders roll, the snow flies, the rilIs and
cascades sing and dance, the waves leap,
the fields smile, the vines creep and run,
the buds shoot, and the hills have tops
TO play with. But some Of them have
their melancholy. The tempests moan,
the zephyrs sigh, the brooks murmur, and
the mountains look blue. Yes. dear child.
rem, We older people know that you have
your little trials aud troubles, your affiic-
tons, your times Of melancholy, like the
elements in Nature. But we like to see
you happy. And in choosing your amuse.
men,s. be slow in choosing. Select such
as will elevate your moral standard, reject
such as will have tendency to lower
such as will be demoralizing and corrupt

Day A writer in the Gaiary refers with
pride to the imrovement manifested in the
American female physique and appear,
ance within the past dozen years. He
says the old dyseptc, faded look is dying
out of their faces, and that our young ladies
of the present day will compare favorably
in healthful appearance with their Eng
lish sisters. This happy result he attributes
to improved food and exercise. A dozen
years ago, ladies found their cpigastric
practice in munching cream chocolates,
cakes and fluffy now, meats, salads and
such other substantials have supplanted
favor but the most healthinl change, he
asserts in bold defiance of the Temperance
Reformers, is the change of beverage from
" tea aud ther slops" to the judicious use
of beer and mild stimuants. Beer he
looks upon as the great beauti6er, develo.
per of strength and hygienic nurse. II
we mistake not, this bold writer will raise
n hornets nest about his ears for daring to
give public utterance and Endorsement to
what large portion Of community pri-
vately believe.

WONDERS AT EASTER ISLAND.

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean three
thousand miles distant from the nearest
continent, rises Easter Island, abo1ndisg
with the remains Of remote antiquity,
which have interested and perpleEed :
party Of savants who have recently visited
them The Island is about forty miles in
circumference it is barren, without trees,
destitute of resources, and inhabif9d BY
savages, who lead the most miserable life
imaginable.
But upon this narrow strip Of lsDd, 70
barren and unproductive, the explorer be-
holds forest Of gigantic stone statues, Of
the origin or meaning Of which the present
race know absolutely nothing. The;lmall-
est of these statues measures thiftyEsfeet
and few attain the incredible dinessitas
of fifty feet. Some repose upon cyciopeAn
platforms, the greater portion Of them
wear crowns about six feet in height,
formed upon volcanic tufu, which have
evidently been placed upon the statues
after erection. The foreheads of these
statues are retreating aud the mouth prom
inent, which indications may possibly re-
veal the race who constructed them. =
As regards the workmanship displayed
on them, it is both rude and clumsy, d.
though not destitute of character aud ex-
preston. The questions concerning them
presented for solution are: What do they
represent? Whose handiwork are they ?
And how came they there? There are no
metals on Easter Island, not even fi1t /;
only few hard pieces Of stone are found
capable of being fashioned into axes. with
which, perhaps these mysterious statues
were hewn. The stone Of which they are
composed is found neither upon this island
or any of the surrounding islands their
number, Dimensions and character, forming
a strange contrast to the narrowness aud
poverty Of the place whereupon they were
constructed.
How could this barren island have
nourshed race Of men capable of raising
such monuments? Where is this race (?
What country do they still inhabitS In
reply to these questions, several scientific
men Of great authority hazard the opinion
that the island in question is only one Of
the submits Of the submerged continent,
which geological evidence proves at one
time to have occupied the whole part Of
the Pacific which is now called Polynesis.
Several also show grounds that the statues
in question present Mexican physiog-
nomy, and may have been the work oftho
kindred races Of that people. Several ef
these monuments have been sent to the
British Museum, where it is to be hoped,
additional light may be thrown upon the
subject.

GRBELEY's AMATEUR FARMING.

Greeley's farm, which has given so
much amusement to humorous correspond
ents. furnishes one Of the most interesting
chapters of his autobiography. Who can
read the opening lines without feeling the
presence Of a genial farmers spirits, as
much in love with the country as Izaak
Walton with his rod:
should have been farmer. All my
riper tastes incline towards that blessed
calling, whereby the human family and its
auxilaries are fed. Its quiet, its segrega-
| tion from strife, and brawls, and heated RI
varies, attract and delight. l hate TO
earn my bread in any calling which COM
plicates my prosperity in some sort with
others adversity-my prosperity with
Others defeat. Blessed is he whose days
cxertions end with the evening twilight,
and who can sleep unbroken until the
dawn awakens him, with energies renewed
and senses frightened to fresh activity
and that fulness of health and vigor which
are vouchsafed to those only who spend
most of their wakened hours in the free,
pure air, and renovating sunshine of the
open country.
This farm, which has furnished so much
humor, as well so much knowledge, to the
country, and elevated the farmer class
throughout our continent, is about Is acres
in area, of which 25 are in woods; aud it
tool; Mr.. Greeley quarter of century to
be able to buy it. He had been 20 years
a resident of New York, and Is years at
the head of household, and had been
given six children, before he could buy
this little farm. He has made it a shrine,
and, exquisite aud minute as the disserta-
tions of Izaak Walton upon the habits of
fish, are his reflections upon it. As to
what he has made on the farmland he is
not farmer, but an editor, relying upon
his profession, and not upon his recrea-
tion-he says this:
IF linger among my trees, consider
that here most of farm work has been
done, and here my profits have been real
lied in the shape Of health and vigor.
When am asked the usual question, How
has tha. farm paid can truthfulIy ans
wer that my part Of it has paid splendidly,
being all income, and no outgo; and who
can show better balance sheet than that ?

u A correspondent at Vienna writes /:
Il always calculate the number Of strang-
