Ny grandfather Jock was ape,
His grandfather Twist was a worm;
Each age has developed in shape,
And ours has got rid Of the squirm;
If the law Of the selection Will work in our case,

My sweetheart has claws, and her face
Is covered with bristles and hair;
she's feline in nature and grace,
She's apt TO get out a tear,
shes cursed with passion to sing after night;
But these shc'H evolve and develop all right.
one race has evolved in the sea,
And partly got rid of their scales;
Though cousin by faces to me,
They're cousin u fishes by tails,
But the'lly ever remain simply mcrmen and women
For selection won't work in the world that they

the world but when had seen little Of

since become enchanted ground. And where
IN lies the enchantment First, in the rich
and deep verdure with which the whole land
scape IS clothed in the seas on of vegetation,
to say nothing Of the evergreen forests which
relieve somewhat the cheerlessness Of our
cold winters. Next the ever changing vari-

country. Here is tie rayine. the meadow
the plateau and the hiIlside-while in tie
distance, though not far away, is the lofty
mountain, lying up against the sky and
here also, is the clear and rapid river, the
rill, the rivulet, and the cascade. And our
agricultural system enhances this variety, as
this is as varied as the landscape. So there
is constant intermingling Of hill and dale,
Of forest and open field Of pasture land and
small fields Of waving grass and grain. These,
in the bright sunshine, form picture which,
for beauty and lovelness, can hardly be sur
passed.
say nothing here of Mount Mansfield
and Camel's Hump, which, like the White
Hills Of New Hampshire are too well knoan
to need especial mention but the quiet
beauty of the whole country is not SO well
known, though it is becoming more Sd. as is
evident from the increasing number of those
who come here in the warm season And Of
course we are all glad that Vermont Is be-
coming so popular as summer resort for
the people Of our New England cities, as well
az, to a less extent, for those whose homes
are more remote. We are glad to see that
almost every village, large and small, has its
summerers, who have learned that there is
no place wherein a vacation can BE spent
more pleasantly than it can here They are
here mainly in July and August, because
then comes the % heated term. = ana then Is
tie time when they want u get away And
perhaps, on the whole, it is the best time to
be here though June and September are not
less lovely than the months above named |
especially September, which, in some respects, !!
surpasses all the others
Our accommodations for those who sum- |

At the churches and street shrines Of the

cross, and even PROSTATE themselves in
their reverence. Nurses appear clad in
the Russian national costume white
under garment, rather low in the neck,
with full, short sleeves; a dark shirt,
garthered into band Just above the bos-

shoulders, and belt above the waist, from
which depends long white apron. Ear
rings and necklaces of beads are worn,
and on the head high, turban-hke cap of

This striking but rather iormess attire
seems to be given over to nurses and court
ladies for state occasions, when the head

faces of gypsies, Tartars, Persians and
Jews are a pleasant relief after the fair

\ New VA o. SETTLING Law SUITs.-
There is something more than even Irish
humor in the story of the settlement of a
lawsuit which comes from Cionme At
the Tipperary Assizes, which are being
held in that town, a young farmer had
brought an action against a lady of his
own age for the possession Of part OF
farm. When the young woman was un Ter
cross examination the plaintiff was ordered
to confront her with reference to a part Of
her evidence. As the litigants stood to-
gether, a happy thought struck the Judge
Why should not this good-looking couple
be happy together He whispered the
idea to the Jury, who at once accepted It.
He then suggested it to the couple them
selves If they married they would b tn
take the farm if they went on quarrelling
about it they would fritter it away. The
young lady being asked whether she was
willing thus to end the strife, intimated
that she was. The barrister then asked
the young man, viii you marry this
Young wOman2" Most undoubtedly " was
his unhesitating response. The counsel
suggested that the wedding should take
place at once; but that point was left to
be settled hereafter The suit ended in
the entry of verdict for the plaintiff, on
condition of his promise to marry the de-
fendant within two months; the verdict
not to be executed till the marriage cere-
mony is performed. We regret to add
that this most pleasant ending of law
suit was a little chequered. The counsel
chaffed the young lady till she left the
Court in tears We may at least hope
that the tears were not altogether tears Of
vexatioD; and that, just as the lawsuit
has ended in courtship, the tears will
soon turn to smiles. May We also express
a hope that so good an example will not
be lost on litigants.-Lo7ldo7a Daily Neacs.

and good natured They do what they are
set to do faithfully, promptly, and we'll
They are quick to learn new methods.
They are rarely Incorporate, or quarrel
some. As inhabitants, they are found
peaceable and unoffending, scrupulous of
the rights of others, ana willing to keep
carefully within the bounds assigned them
territorally or socially. Even if they do
occupy close and filthy quarters, they are
neater and more cleanIy in their dress and
person than any other class of beings
could be under the same circumstances.
With their low down shoes, they have
always snowy white stockings. The house
servants and hotel walters wear tunics OF
spOtless whiteness. They dress generally
with taste and neatless Rarely is one
met who cannot read or write. Their po-
liteness, kindness Of heart. and open
handed generosity are remarkable. 1t
may be safely said that no lower class OF
foreigners in this country, ever appeared
to SO good advantage in these particulars
as the lower class Chinese.

THE POLAR SEA.-If a writer In the
English periodical. Nature, is correct in
his views, the open Polar sea, unless dis
covered soon, Will exist no more. Land Is
said to be rising everywhere between the
Pole and the 5,th parallel, and the great
est movement Is at the Pole itself. Some
interesting facts are quoted in support Of
this theory. Pliny says that Scandinavia
Is an archipelago, and speaks of old seamen
who had circumnavigated the group Of
islands. PtoIemy confirms him. Celsius
said, in the seventeenth century, that Nor
way was rising at the rate of forty inches
year Sir Charles Lyell endorses the
theory. The water level in the gulf Of
Bothnia falls one foot every fifteen years.
Near Gefe there are low pastures where
old men remember seeing boats afoat
Near Stockholm, seventy feet above the
sea, the remains of shell fish identical with
the present coast species are found. At
SodIieige, ninety feet above high water,
there is a bed of sand which contains some
wrecked boats and an old anchor In the
interior Of Spitzbergen. skeletons of whales
have been unearthed forty feet above sea
level. The fishermen say that the land
has risen so much that the shaIIownesS of
the water has driven away the right whale
which, once abundant, Is now rarely seen.
On the Pacific, the shores around Bhering's
Straits are low and fiat but a mile or two
back there are ranges of bluffs, parallel
with the coast, and containing iGnumerabIe
shells Of literal species Ii the theory Is
