A BEAUTIFUL woman, says Fontenile,
is the purgatory Of the purse and the
paradise Of the eye.
A SMART child in Pittsburgh stole bis
teachers watch from her desk while she
was absent from the school room. He
smarted for four or FIVE days afterward,
and considered invitations to stake a
chair" to be wanton outrages on his
feelings.

repeating the words of the guide who
had pointed out to him the armor of

MOTHER GOOSE is not an imaginary
person. She was the mother-in.l law Of
printer in Boston, Mass, and her real
name was Elizabeth Goose. The first
edition Of her well-known rhymes was
sold for two coppers on Devonshire

Chicken Philosophy.

The Danbury News thus manifests its
familiarity with the chicken.coop and
pig-pen: "The quintessence Of the
omnivorous is supposed to be imaged
in the hog, but the hog is Peabody
among animals alongside of a hen.
Hens are by nature monopolists. When
the subject of victuals is mentioned
they are evidently listening. Throw a
handful of corn into ten-acre lot, and
every hen in the inclosure will get a
dab at it. The last hen on the spot
may not get more than two kernels, but
nothing in the hens appearance will
indicate that. Il will step around with
as much precision and gratitude as any
in the flock, and wear the most pensive
smile you ever saw. A hen will not eat
everything it secs, but will try to, and
there isn't one on the face of the earth
but that can tell you the taste of every.
thing it has seen within the radius Of
half mile of its house. 1t is only when
a man has kicked at hen and missed
it that he begins to understand how
thoroughly hollow and deceitful this
world is, and it is marvellous fact in
this connection that he will miss the
hen if he does kick at it, and misses it
If he don't.

Capt. Burton and the Savage.

Curing one of Capt. Burton's voyages
in the Essex he was becalmed off an isl.
and Of the Society group, in the South
Pacific, and one day a valuable case OF
surgical instruments was stolen from
his cabin. A number of the savages
with the chief Of the island at their
head, had been on board, and he knew
that the thief was Of their number. On
the following day he pulled on shore,
with the best part of his crew, and found
the chief, in company with several OF
his principal warriors, sitting before his
hut. Burton made known his errand
through his interpreter, whereupon the
sable monarch expressed unbounded
surprise. Not only was he sure that
none of his people had stolen the arti.
cles, but he could assure his ''milk.
skinned brother that his people would
not steal under any circumstances.
The Captain assumed a confident at.
titude, and begged 10 inform his swart
males y that he-Burton-knew where
the missing property was. He had the
power to discover such things. 1t might
save the chief vast deal OF trouble If
he would at once produce the lost
property.
Upon this the chieftain declared that
he could have nothing more TO say upon
the subject; and to add seeming weight
to his assertion he drew forth his pipe,
and, having filled it with tobacco, he
commenced to strike fire upon a piece
Of punk wood with flint and steel.
Capt. Barton told the interpreter to bid
him stop.
"Tell him." said he, "that / will
bring down fire from heaven into bis
pipe"
The Chief received the announce.
ment with look of incredulity, but
nevertheless dropped his fin. and steel,
and suffered the Captain to proceed
Burton drew from his pocket small
sun.glass, or magnifying lens, and con-
cealing it in his hand, he babe the
Chief to smoke away, and at the same
time he turned the bowl of the pipe
toward the sun, and brought the focal
point of the rays upon the tobacco. :.
The FIRE took, and the smoke came
forth. The dusky chieftain pulled out
\ fragrant cloud, then looked at the
bowl Of his pipe, and then knelt in awe
before the pale-f faced Captain. He would
not tempt the wonderful power Of the
great medicine.man further.
Burton obtained his case OF instru'
nents from the Chiefs own hands.

The day Is done. and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of night.
As feather Is waited downward
From an eagle in Its flight.
Isee the lights Of the village
CLEAN through the rain and the mist.
And q feeling Of sadness comes DER me.
That my soul cannot resist;
A feeling of sadness and longing.
That is not akin to pain.
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this rest less feeling.
And Danish the thoughts Of day.
Net from grand old masters,
Not from bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of time:
For, like strains of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Lies endless toll and endeavor:
And tonight long fer rest.
Read from some humber poet.
Whose songs gushed from his heart.
As showers from the clouds OF summer.
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days of labor.
And nights devoid Of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care.
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasu red volume,
The poem of thy choice:
And lend to the rhyme Of the poet
The beauty OF thy voice;
And the night shall be filed with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Sh all fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

The Palmer Labor Fallacy.

The Hon. S. S. Cox, always cogent,
clear and logical, seems to have Pc
culiar felicity and directuess of aim
whenever he points his well-winged
shafts at the bubbles of protection.
The dry facts of statistics become IN
spired with life and Individuality under
his handling, and his poignant wit
ouivers like electric fire above the dry
est stubble of custom house details. In
his speech on the tariff, delivered last
week in conclusion Of the general de-
bate in the House, among other inter
estDg points too numerous to ment'on'
Mr.. Cox took occasion to demol-
ish the pauper labor fallacy OF
the Protectionists, with com
pleteness that will not please Judge,
Kelley, nor Trevellick, his Union
demagogue protege. He goes into the
CLYDE country, into the heart OF the
English pig iron prosperity under the
free trade system, and shows by this
crucial test that it is the direct tendency
of free trade policy, and the pros
peritv it engenders, to enhance wages
From Nav, 1871, to April, 1872, there
has been an advance of so per cent IN
wages, and a reduction ia time OF labor
from 60 hours to 81! hours a week
This increase of wages has been
by sixpence sterling per day; and
the advance reaches from the coal
or iron ore miner, through the
coking oven, the blast furnace,
pudding furnace, muck bar mill, to
the finished product. II represents Ten
shihings sterling per ton IN the cost o.
finished iron ovsr The current rates q
1871" This TWO dollars and a halt
(gold) advance in the labor cost OF lror,
under free trade, and in the country
whose "pauper labor" our Protection
lists claim they dread, it must be re-
membered, is one gears Advance IN the
wages given for the production OF an
article the total labor cost OF which, IN
this country, is averaged at only about
$3.50 per ton, currency! Going into
the ship yards OF the Clyde and the
correspond ng employments in this
country, Mr., Cox further shows that
actual difference, reduced to gold,
between wages here and wages in
Great Britain, only averages 40 per
cent in favor OF the United States. On
the other hand, the average cost of the
prime necessaries OF life, such as rent,
iuel, and clothing, is 100 per cent
greater in this country than England.
In other words, Mr. Robert Somers,
in his very interesting volume, "The
Southern States Since the War, does
not exagEerate when he states it as his
deliberate conviction that "Me p'uchaS-
iqg yo,cer Of tie imsricm doliar IS very
lille greater than that Of tie English
shilling" which is as much as TO say that
the English moulder, who receives ~
shilings week, can buy with it nearly
as much as the American moulder
could with $42 week. Rut the actual
wages OF the American moulder are
only $3.50 a week

ooh, Grant, by all means he answer

Greeley or Adams. Greeley is not a

But, Mr.. Phillips" l observed, you
are, of course, aware that he threatens
to be dangerous rival for GrautY'
Yes. see that there is strong popu-
lar feeling in his favor, and his election
is possible, though by no means GER
tain. His success depends upon the
prominent men OF the country who in
dorse him. II such men "a Judge
Chase, Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Douglass

OF the bulk o. the Republican party,
and if the Democrats should also ratify
his nomination his election would be
almost certain.
Wont he be likely TO command the
votes OF the South 2 | asked.
IL am not so certain Of that; the
majority OF the Southern whites will
probably 90 for him, but the colored
men as yet are not welded to any par
ticular party, and it may be long time
before they will, as class, declare for
either one or the other Greeley stands
we'll among them, but ] doubt if his
name will arouse their enthusiasm to
the extent that a great many expect.
He is strong among the workingmen
all over the country, and will receive
almost their undivided support As
said before, there are chances of his
election, but | should deplore such a
result
What do you think of the story
about Grant Withdrawing as the last
means OF saving the Republican party
and defeating Greeley|
Il have heard of that, and there may
be something in it. Last winter, when
| was lecturing in the west, the leading
men OF the party there were discussing
this same possible contingency, and
understand that in the event of his
Withdrawing. Colfax was to be brought
forward, aud there was an understand
ing of this kind with Colfax when he
was persuaded TO change his determin
atiou about his retiring from political
lite at the close OF his present term
Taking everything az it stands ! am
frank to say that have no opinions
about the contest; but of course | have
my preference. Perhaps in few days
things will be more definitely shaped
and then may have something to say
As matters are now l prefer to remain

Aship Attack ed by u Whale.

An unusual, although by no means
unprecedented occurrence, says an Aus
tralian paper, is reported by Captain
Lockyer, OF the bark King Oscar. His
account OF it is as follows: The bark
sailed from Hobart Town on the 18th
ult, and on the 18th, when thirty miles
to the eastward, off cape Howe, sighted
large sperm whale, distant about three
hundred yards, and proceeding in the
same direction. The monster fish re-
manned in company some considerable
time-four days, it is aid-and finally
it was seen to lift its head out Of water
and make furious dash at the vessel,
striking her with tremendous force and
csreening her over several streaks.
Those who felt the shock compare it
to the striking Of vessel on rock.
The pumps were at once sounded, but
at first it was supposed that no material
damage was done; subsequent sounding
showed, however, that the bark was
making water at the rate Of six inches
an hour, and this she continued TO DO
up to the time of her arrival.
