A Dying Nation.

The accounts of the famine in Persia,
which continue to arrive in greater de-
tail, bid fair to treat the world to the
spectacle Of calamity the like Of which
has never been witnessed in historic
times at least--the sudden extinction of
n race for want of food. This has been
the fate of the great States which once
filed the valley Of the Euphrates aud it
is a fate which has for centuries been
threatening some mc dern States--Spain
for example. Man has stripped the
soil OF trees; has slowly diminished the
productive powers of the ground and
tinally destroyed them; the population
in the meantime dwindling in numbers
aud vitality. Spain had forty millions
OF people in the time Of the Romans,
aud flowed with milk and honey; it is
now an arid region, only half OF it uu.
der cultivation, with only sixteen million
inhabitants aud if modern science had
not come to its aid would probably go
the way of Babylon. Persia was one Of
the most powerful States of antiquity,
aud even 10 the fourteenth century was
able to support the army of Tamerlauc
which marched without com,nissariat or
baggage, during bloody contest. 1t is
now almost a wilderness, with popula-
tIon ofonly two millions--about half Of
them nomads, which is rapidly per-
ishlng from famine brought on by
drought. The worst of it is that, owing
to the absence OF either common roads
or railroads, it seems to be impossible
for the charity of the world to reach
the sufferers, SO that there is really u
strong prospect of a total depopulation
OF the country.

THERE COMES A TIME.

There comes a time when we grow old
And like a sunset down the sea,
Slope gradually, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering sad and chillingly:
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes of sAddest blue behold
Thy leaves all weary driit away,
And lips Of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when Joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead TO all save memory,
As prisoner in the dungeon chain;
And dawn Of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
hear voice in whisper say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes a time when manhood's primo
is shrOuded In the mist OF years,
And beauty, fading like a dream,
Hath passed away 10 silent tears;
And then, how dark
But, oh, the spark,
That kindled youth TO hues Of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering, say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease 70 be,
And we put on the autumn robe,
And tread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
With rosy Hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold,
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watches whisper through the mig ht
There comes time when We grow old.

The Troubadours.


A very striking illustration of the
influence Of amusements is TO be found
in the history of the southern portion
Of France. In the course of the tenth
century there arose in that portion Of
France then denominated Provence a
class Of ministries called trOuJadours,
who composed and sang their own
verses, and Travelled from village to
village, from city to city, aud from
court to court, chanting their wild and
romantic melodies, and awakening in
che people wherever they went taste
for poetry aud song So popular did
this class Of minstrels become, that the
arrival of some OF their number at the
courts Of the feudal lords was greeted
with special honor, and many of the
most renowned knights of Provence
assumed the garb aud scarf of the
troubadour, aud went from court TO
court, celebrating the praises of their
tavorite hero or mistress. Thus dawned
the age Of chivalry. Al elias es became
more and more awakened to the euchant
ments Of the poets aud miustrels art,
and were acquiring day by day n
knowledge OF and n tnstc for those
clurtesies Of life SO often the theme Of
thelroubadours pauegyric The bnrons,
then sOvereigns in their own territories,
invited the neighboring knights to
their castles to contend in poetry and
song, aud at length to the more hardy
and knightly encounter Of the tilt aud
tournament, in the presence of multi.
tudes Of yassas aud retuiners, and
amid the assembled beauty of the court
The troubadours, who were ut first
very humble class OF minstrcls, led the
way, By the peculiar character of their
| productions, in the elevation of woman
in the scale Of being. This they did,
perhaps quite unintentionally, by cele.
bratlng Ia their songs the beauty aud
charms Of some particular lady Of the
court where they were entertained; and
as twas found not only pleasing but
proftatl. to the minstrel, woman soon
became the chosen theme Of their pane
gyric. From being deprecated, she
was idUlized. In the progress Of time,
uuder the mild aud peaceful sway OF
woman influence, the south of France,
the home of the troubadours, began to
exhibit rapid progression ir all the arts
of civilized life. While all the rest Of
Europe was constantly in arms, those
portious where the minstrcl's art aud
ruilueuce had penetrated, enjoyed com
parative peace; and, Instead Of eultivat
ing the art of war, they passed their
time in cultivating the graces and Gu

q gaughahle Story.
Dan. 0'Connoll and Mrs. Moriarty.

1t was at an Irish court Of justice that
Mr. O'Connell could be seen to the
greatest advantage. Every quality of
the lawyer aud the advocate he display
ed, lie showed research and perfect
mastery OF his protest. N, and he exhib.
tied his own great and innate qualities.
One Of the drolost scenes of vitupera
ton that O'Connel ever figured 10 took
place in the early part Of his life Not
long after he was called to the bar, his
character and peculiar talents received
rapid recognition from all who were
even casually acquainted with him.
His taleut for vitupcratiye language was
perceived, aud by some he was, even in
those days, considered matchlcss as a
scold. There was, however, at that
time in Dublin, a certain woman, Biddy
Moriarty, who had huckster's stall on
one Of the quays nearly opposite the
Four Courts She was yirago of the
first order, very able with her fist, aud
still more formidable with her tongue
From one end OF Dublin to the other
she was notorious for her powers of
abuse, and even in the provinces Airs.
Moriartys language had passed Into
currency The dictionary of Dublin
slang had been considerably enlarged
by her, and her volublc impudcncc had
almost become proverbial. Some of
O'Connell's friends, however, thought
that he could beat her in the use Of her
own weapons. OF this, however, he
had some doubts himself, when he had
listened once or twice TO some minor
specimens OF her Billingsgatc. l. was
mooted once whether the young Kerry
barrisier could encounter her, and some
QUO of the company (in O'Conncll's
Prcsence) rather too freely ridculad the
idea Of his being able to meet the IA
nous Madam Moriarty. O'Cunncl
never liked the idea of being put down,
aud he professed his readiness to en-
counter her, aud even backed himself
for the match. Bets were offered and
taken; it was decided that the match
should core of at once.

1t is injurious for child to associate
too much with persons Of mature age.
Children need companions about their
age and the parents Of an only child
have, in many respects, more diIiicult
task than those who have half dozen.
In large family the little folks help
to 'briug up" one another. The elder
assist the younger /; aud each one is
naturally madc to feel that the others
have rights and preferences as well as
himself. The habit Of considering the
preferences Of others, aud Of kindly
yielding to them, is thus easily formed.
