SHERIDAN's haE.t If rising at four
In the morning, IL AEing a prodlgIons
quantity of cane around him, and
eating toasted mullins while at work;
Sydney Smiths rapidity Of peDs
without regard to stops or legibihty
Moores's love of writing IN bed In
the morning Byron's preference
for sitting up to write at night
are all brought out In their turn.
The MSS. of some authors are still
more insignificant of their habits of
composition. Take for instance the
contrast between the manuscripts OF
SCOTS poems you meet with stanzas
that are hardly legible with blots and
interlineations, particularly IN the
manuscripts of /" Rokeby," which was
set up from the original draft written
on paper of various sorts and sizes
but manuscripts of his novels are as
free from anything of this descrp-
ton as his correspondence. You
may turn over page after page with
out finding a single correction. a
very different picture IS presented by
Macaulay's manuscript. Macaulay
never wrote IN haste, but revised
everything Re wrote with the greatest
nicely. It was written on official
foolscap, with the lines full an inch
aport. This, however, formed but
the rough outline Of the essay:
When the keel had thus been laid
down, Macaulay began the work OF
ampiiication and revision, and
when that was complete you could
hardly find space on the page 20
stick a. pins point. Prescott saw
two or three of these pages Of the
manuscript of his History. You
have no conception Of the amount
of labor that one of these sheets Of
foolscap represents. But this man
uscript was never sent to the printer.
1t was copied out by Macaulay in
hand almost as bold and legible as
large plea.

Paris-The Government has received
information from New Caledonia of the
safe arrival of the transports Guerriere

A coal mine in Staffordshire, Eng

twenty-five remained in the mine, and
there is little hope that they will be
saved.

The Nile.

The bed of the Nile, ike that of
lower Mississippi, Is higher than
the valley through which 1t passes.
Warburton said:
"The Niles bed is a sort of sav-
ings bank, by means of which the
deposits of four thousand years
have enabled him to rise IN the
world and run along a causeway Of
his own" tits the only river IN the
world which runs upward of twelve
hundred miles, IN undiminished vol
ume, without tributary stream. 1t
moves on its long course without
the help Of even a creek, tapped by
iBnum cradle canals and thirsty gar
dens with which IL Is fringed, alb
sorbed by hot sand banks and hotter
sun, and empties greater bulk at its
mouths than it has between the cat
aracts. The products of Egypt are
the gifts of this stream. The lands
on which the towns and hamlets cf
Egypt repose Is foreign soil, brought
from the far south by this public
farrier. For more than four thous-
and years he has faithfully brought
his burden and deposited it at the
ceet of Egypt. The Rsmeses and
the Ptolemies come and go, and the
Nile remains unchanged

Lee, the Learned Carpenter.

Samuel Lee, Professor of Hebrew
at the University at Cambridge,
England, was seventeen years of age
before he conceived the idea Of learn
ing a foreign language. Out of the
scanty pittance of his weekly earn
ings as a carpenter he purchased a
book, and when this was read he ex-
changed it for another, and thus he
he advanced In knowledge. He had
not even the privilege of balancing
between reading and relaxation, but
was obliged TO pass directly from bod
lily fatigue to mental exertioa. Dur
ing the SIX years previous to his twen-
ty-hfth year he omitted none of the
ohurs usually appropriated to man
ual labor, and he retired to rest
regularly at ten o'clock in the even
ing, and yet at the age Of thirty-one
years he had actually taught seven
teen languages. This illustrates that,
Where there's a VIII, there's a
way"

VIII Ynn Re a Success z

'That you may find success" "
said the Rev. Charles Brooks in an
address to boys, '1et me tell you
how to succeed = Tonight begin
your great plan of life. You have
but one life to live, and it is most
important that you do not make a
mistake. Tonight begin carefully.
Fix your eyes on the fOrtieth year
ofyOur age, and then say to your
self: 'At the age of forty I shall be
a temperate man, 1 will be an in
dustrious man, a benevolent man,
well-read man, religious man
and a useful man. l will be such.
[ resolve, and 1 will stand to it."

LEAVES AND BOSSES.

By NRs MULOCK CRAIG.
Ye dainty MOSES. lichens gray,
Pressed each to each in tender fold,
And peacefully thus, day by day,
Returning to your mould;
Brown leaves that with aerial grace
Slip from your branch like birds awing,
Each leaving in the appointed place
Its buds of future spring.
If We, Gods conscious creatures, knew
But half your faith in our decay,
We should not tremble as we do
When summoned clay by clay.
But with an equal patience sweet
We should put off this mortal gear,
In whatsOe'er new form is meet,
Content to re-appear;-
Knowing each germ of life He gives
Must have in him its source and rise,
Being that of His being lives,
May change, but never dies.
Ye dead leaves dropping soft and slow,
Ye MOSES green and ichens fair,
Go to your graves, as will go,
For God is also there.

London has a new industry, name
", the manufacture of cripples. The
police have discovered a firm of hu-
man fends thatI axes children of ten
der age and twist their limbs so that
they may be bandy-legged or other
wise defOrmed, according to the wish
of the parents. The object of this
is to make the unfortunate infants
objects of charity. A regular tariff
of price is demanded, a thorough
and complete manning costing four
pounds. The members of the con-
cern and about a dozen employees
have been imprisoned.

About Bears.

The provisions of nature are
strange. Climate forces upon ami
mails different habits. Towards the
end Of December the female white
bear places herself in a position
where the snow will drift over her.
Lying still upon a rock, the snow
falls thickly upon her, and a cell is
formed for winter habitation. In
this cell the animal resides during
the period of accOUchement. The
cubs are produced, and the mother
remains secluded with them until
the month of March. The young are
very small at first, but as they grow
the heat of the bodies melt the snow
and thus enlarges the cell. The
warm breath ascends upward, and
makes an aperature for the admis-
sion of pure air. Before hiberna.
ting, the bear eats enorm ously of
nutritious food, and becomes very
fat, on which fat she exists during
her winter retirement. The phe-
nomenon is all the more singular, as
the female bear is compelled to give
sustenance to her young as well as
to live herself, and the surplus fat in
her own body her only store of food.
Pertinent to this, DIR. Wood re-
marks at is worthy of notice that
in the bears of the Old as well as the
New World, is found the curious
phenomenon of the 'tappen,' hard
concreted substance, which plugs up
the intestines and seems to be of
service In retaining the animal in
condition. In Scandinavia, where
the bears Of both sexes retire to
winter quarters, and remain in their
hidden reeesses for five full months,
the tappen is very seldom cast until
the bear leaves her den. In the rare
instances where such an event has
happened, the bear is said to have
become miserably thin and weak"
The snow packs closely, and makes
warm bed. The caloric exhaled
from the body is not swept away by
the wind, but is conserved around
the ANIMAL and sensation is pre-
served--IuTf, Field and Farm.

LIFE on the American side of the
Rio Grands is not as pleasant as it
might be, / four or five hundred of
the greasers, niggers and Kickapoos,
who infest the iungles and b lies on
the Mexican side, were hung up to
dry. Scarcely week passes but a
party Of these Mexican cut-throats
cross and run off stock. or shoot
down one or two Americans in the
act of defending their property. The
real old Texan bull-whacker would
at any time rather fight a greaser
than cat, but men of this class rare
ly fall victims to the treachery of
these robbers; it is generally the
merchant visiting his outlying
rancho or the new conner who sue
cumbs to the ambush rifle, or the
assassin's knife. On either bank of
this famous boundary men carry
small armOries about their persons,
ready for action at a moment 8
notice, and life is a luxury which
men enjoy after a fashion as if de-
termined to get as much out of 1t
as they can in a short time. Cards,
whisky and the fandango, q horse
and a squaw make up the dolce
faTnitente of tho Rio Grande.
