Rivers. weather and Buaineas.

The river is stationary at this point,
and is two feet two inches above low
water mark. To Cairo there is scant six
feet, and above there but five feet to St.
Louis, with the river falling rapidly st
the former point. Advices from the
upper Mississippi inform US that that
stream is falling from st. Paul to Alton.
There is but little water for steamboats,
in the Missouri river. The Illinois is
almost dried up above Naples. The Ohio
has improved a trifle, but the larger class
of boats cannot yet venture out with
any safety. The Arkansas, White, Yazoo
and Red rivers are all low and difficult
to navigate, even for light-draught
boats. The weather yesterday was clear
and beautiful, and business much better

Thought Essen ,iaI TO Health. .
From the Cornhill Magazine.I -tH
If we Wonld have our hodies health

From the Cornhill Magazine.
II we would have our bodies healthy
our brains must be used, and used in or
derly and vigorous ways, that the life
giving streams Of force may flow down
from them into the expectant organs,
which can minister but as they are min
istered unto. We admire the vigorous
animal life OF the Greeks, and without
injustice we recognize and partly seek
to initiate the various gymnastic and
other means which they employed to se-
cure it. But probably we should make
fatal error if we omitted from our cal
culation the hearty and generous ear
nestness in which the highest subjects OF
art, speculation and politics were pur-
sued by them. Surely, in this case, the
beautiful and energetic mental life was
expressed in the athletic and graceful
frame. And were it a mere extrava-
gance to ask whether some part of the
lassitude and weariness of life, of which
we hear so much in our day, might be
due 10 lack Of mental occupation on
worthy subjects, exciting and repaying
a generous enthusiasm, as well as to an
over exercise on lower ones2 Whether
an engrossment on matters which have
not substance enough to justify or sat
isfy the mental grasp, lie not at the root
Of some part of the maladies which af-
feet our mental conyalescence2 Any
one who tries it soon finds out how
wearying, how disproportionately ex-
hausting is an overdose of light lite
rature, compared with an equal amount
Of time spent on real work. OF this we
may be sure, that the due exercise of
brain--of thoughts one of the essen
tial elements of human life. The per-
feet health of man is not the same as
that of an OK or horse. The prepon-
derating capacity Of his nervous parts
demands corresponding life.

orueItx 20 Children.

There is now a protest from Washing
ton against the imposition of too much
work on children in public schools. a
father complains that the teachers are
sacrificing everything TO the success IN
spelling matches Of the pupils. One
of them has a custom of calling up her
pupils, without regard 10 age or capa.
city. TO write out long lists of words aud
every word misspelled they are required
10 write twenty-five times after school
hours. Under this system his own little
girl. eight years old, had TO write 600
words one sight; and another, about the
same age, had to Frite one thousand. Ii
would be a small matter, Sf course, for a
ready penman to write q thousapo words,
but for q child eight years old, who can
not form the letters except with slowness
aud painstaling effort, il is awearisome
and cruel task. The ambition Of teach.
ers is frequently without discretion, aRd
very often needs 10 be checked for the
good Of their pupils. When children
from seven 70 ten years Of age have
tasks set them which can be Eseoa-
piished only By work outside the school
room. where they spend six hours daily,
Il Is high 6pe for somebody 70 interfere.

The Flush Times of Mississippi
Beat


The Flush Times of Mississippi
Beat.
From the West Point Citizen.l
A rich and racy, if not rare, scene
occurred in a justices court in this
place one day last week, which, in point
of ludicrousness, fully equals anything
that was ever known in the Flush times
of Mississippi" Or any other flush
times" Be it known that West Point
has new squire, who, if nota very known
man in the law, is a frst-class judge
of red.eye, a good cusser, and possesses
keen appreciation of mans situa-
ton whe has become spiritually in
clined. On the occasion referred to a
case was up before his honor on an ap-
plication for a continuance. The
grounds for a continuance mainly re-
lied ON by counsel was that his client,
who was principal witness in his own de-
fense, had suddenly been taken very
sick, and was just at that time wholly
unsble to appear in court. The lawyer
fnllv realizing the situation of his case,
made a most powerful and eloquent
anneal to The squire in the name of JUS
t;ce and all that is fair, just and equit-
able. and in a most skillful and lawyer
like manner worked upon the better ma.
ture of the most excellent judge-of
good whisky. And while he stated
that q his client--witness-was sick
and very sick, by his delicate alln-
sions he readily made the court under
stand that his client was only little too
tight to appear in court. After the
counsel who had made the application
for a continuance had taken his seat,
the opposing counsel rose to object to
the motion, but before he had well gotten
on his feet, the court threw himself back
on his dignity, and in the most exciting
manner, licking out his tongue lkeIa
famished tiger, cried out at the top OF
his voice: "Stop, Mr. White, stop, sir;
the courts satisfied on this point, and
dom want TO hear any argument from
you, sir; and that amt al, 1t amt goln
To- neither. You hear that, sir2 I'll
give you to understand, sir, that this is
a court of justice, and the court gets
tight hisself sometimes, he does, and he
knows all about it, by Cd, sir. And
d-n old Roper to hi sir. ift the Colonel
shan't have plenty Of time to get sober,
sir; he shall that, by hi The court
continues that ease until tomorrow, or
until Colonel - gets sober, SIR. z Z

Necks and Arms.

One Of the Eastern papers, speaking
Of the necks which are so lavishly ex-
hibited by the toilettes of the day, says
scraggy necks are the fashion, and
where ladies have no hollows and creases
and bones, they employ artists to paint
them, and that person would be aston
ished were he or she to have view next
morning of the necks which had appear
ed so old and yellow and wrinkled the
night before, to see how plump and
white they were Another tells story
of gentleman who had a lady on his
arm who wore very handsome, wide
bracelets, and who was remarkable for
the beauty of her arms. The lady 8
bracelet became unelasped, and while
she was herself fastening it--which she
insisted on doing-he observed a peeu-
liar movement in her flesh from the
wrist to the elbow. The movement
continued all the while the lady was
working with her bracelet, but ceased
when she removed her hand. He con-
cluded, from what he saw, that there
we're such things as arms, parts of
which were laid aside at night.

A SONG OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

BY JEAN INGELow.
The city, he saith, is fairer far
Than one which was of old;
1t CLEANS in the light all crimson bright
With shifting glimmers of gold.
Where be the homes my fathers built, aN
The houses where they prayed, "a a
| see in no sod the paths they trod.
Nor the stones my fathers laid.
On the domes they spread, the roofs they reared
~ Has passed the levelling tide;
NY fathers lie low, and their sons outgrown
The bonds of their skin and pride.
Shifting. sweeping change.
VI II plays with mems endeavor,
They carved these names grown strange,
And they said Abide forever"
The city, see, leth far away
Whereto no change may come; ,...
II has rays manifold of crimson and gold,
But cannot count their sum. W
They sigh no more by its happier shore
Who wonder, forboding not
OF waning away of a changeful day,
Or changing of life and lot.
They dream not there on earth's changing
face,
Of mutual wind and sea-
Thou whe art changeless, grant me place
In that far city with Thee
There record my name. "a rs- ~ g.
Father forget Thee never, ~
For Thy thought is still the same.
Yesterday, to-day, and forever.

Garden OF the TuiIeries.

A foreign journal says it is sign of a
perhaps exceptional return of conf
dence in the stability of affairs in the
French capital, that the sparrows are be-
ginning to go back to their old haunts
and habits in the garden of the Tuile-
ries. 1t was one Of the pleasantest
sights Of Paris in former times to watch
the hosts of birds in the public gardens
gathering around the visitors, and fear
lessly picking up the crumbs of bread
which every true Partisan carried with
him in his afternoon stroll for the delec-
tatien of les petits oiseaur" But
with the war the birds, like their pre-
tectors, fell upon evil times. When the
garden of the Tuileries was transformed
into q military camp, the majority of the
birds, finding their tranquility strangely
disturbed, flew away,to quieter quarters.
Those that remained during the siege
we're killed and eaten, and at the signing
of the armistice there was not bird in
any Of the gardens of the city. In the
months of March and April the spar
rows, blackbirds and wood-pigeons again
took possession of the Tuileries garden,
and chirped as merrily as if the imperial
flag still foated over the clock tower.
Then came the burning Of the palace,
and on the morning after the disaster
the tress was once more tenRntless, save
for few scorched hedglings found in the
ruined nests. From that day, it is said,
neither blackbirds, wood-pigeons nor
ring-doves have been seen in the garden.
An ahtamnk waa made during the mast
