pitch Pine Yankees.

We talk about a Yankee, a New
Englander, as if all of 'em were just
the same kind of animal. 'EThere is
knowledge and knowledge" said
John Bunyan. There are Yankees
and Yankees. Do you know two
native trees called pitch pine and
white pine respectively OF course
YOU know 'em. Well, there are
pitch-pine Yankees and white-pine
Yankees. We don't talk about the
inherited differences of men quite
as freely, perhaps, as they do in the
Old World, but republicanism does
not alter the laws of physiology
We have a native aristOcracy, a SUI
periOr race, just as plainly marked
by nature as of u higher and finer
grade than the common run of peo-
pie as the white pine is marked in
its form, its stature, its bark, its
delicate foliage, as belonging to the
nobility of the forest; and the pitch
pine, stubbed, rough, coarse-haired,
as of the plebian order. Only the
strange thing is to see in what = ca
priciOus way our natural nobility is
disturbed. The last born nobleman
| saw was only this morning; he
was pulling rope that was fastened
to a Maine schooner loaded with
lumber. l should say he was about
twenty years old, as fine figure of
a Young man as you would ask to
see, and with regular Greek out
line of cOuntenance, waving hair,
that fell as if a sculptor had massed
it to copy, and a complexion as rich
as q red sunset. | have a notion
that the State of Maine breeds the
natural nobility in larger proper
ton than some other States, but
they spring up in all sorts of Out-of-
the-way places. The young fellow
| saw this morning had on an old
flannel shirt and pair of panta-
looms that meant hard work, and
cheap cloth cap pushed back on his
head so as to let the large waves of
hair struggle out over his forehead:
he was tugging at his rope with the
other sailors, but upon my word |
don't think / have seen a Young
English nobleman, Of all those
whom have looked upon, that an
swered to the notion of blood" so
well as this young fellow did. l
suppose if | made such q leyeling
confession as this in public, people
would think | was looking towards
being the labor-reform candidate for
President. Bat | should go on and
spoil my prospects bY saying that |
don't think the white-pine Yankee
Is the more generally prevailing
growth, but rather the pitch-pine
Yankee.- Oiirer Wendell Holmes.

An Event OF the age.

one Of the most remarkable works
of the age is now being constructed
in Peru 1t is the Lima and OrOya
railroad, which is To surmOunt the
great Andean mountain chain. Its
cost Is TO be 100000 OF reals, and
the contractor is the celebrated
Henry l.. Meiggs, formerly of Cali
fornia. The road commences al
CallaO, on the Pacific coast, aud is
destined To cross the mountains al
an altitude of over 1900 feet. The
Inca Indians. known in that country
as "Cholos,' are employed As la
bOrers- They only can work in the
rare mountain atmosphere. The
tumel OF the work will be 5000 feet
IN length, and elevated above the
sea higher than the summit Of Mont
Blanc. Many eXpedients have been
adopted 10 surmOunt the great en-
glneering difficulties, and TO so
lengthen the road TO the best advan-
tage for the purpose OF continually
gaining altitude. The supplies for
the eastern end OF the work are
obtained only by means ot . mule
tram, which has TO pass over cius-
ter of peaks 16, 800 feet high, aud
which are covered with perpetual
snow. Ii is expected that this road
viii develop the mineral wealth of
the Cordilleras, which consists Of
silver ore. Coal has been discovered
IN the vicinity of Oroya and Yauli.

rhe stone Rolled Away.

Less loving hearts than those
which prompted the preparation of
the spices wherewith TO embalm
their Lord, might-knowing the
greatness of the stone at the door OF
the sepulchre-have deemed it use
less to attempt to visit His tomb, or
bear the fragrant gifts to anOint His
body. How many faithlcss one
would have folded their hands in
mute despair, and felt the obstacles
in the way insurmOuntable. Not so
with those women who were first at
His sepulshre. With loving hearts
they came, and richly was their
faith and love rewarded. For while
thev asked themselves, "Who shall
roll Us away the stone Z" when they
looked they saw the stone was rolled
away. And when their Lord him
self appeared unto them, how must
their hearts have eXulted, and their
sorrow have been turned to joyl
And is not the Lord still equally
ready to reward the devotion OF
those who trust and honor Him p
Yet how much do His children suf-
fer from their gloomy apprehensiOns
OF evil; their dread of what the fu-
ture NAV bring; their anxiety: who
shall roll away the stone2 Many 4
trembling disciple has gone mourn
ing all his days from fears never re-
allied; or found, when trials came,
that the Angel of the Covenant had
gone before him, aud the presence of
his risen Lord made light the way.
Blessed are all they who put their
trust in Him.

He LeadeIh NE.

The patter of little feet on my of
fee floor and a glad voice exclaim-
ing:
"Papa, Use come TO 'scOrt YOU
home,' made known to me the pres
ence of my little six year old darl-

Major had net single drop OF
blood i'm his countenance. He
trembled so violently that he was
hardly able TO stand erect.
In order TO end his misery the
captain aimed quickly and lowered
his pistol, handed il 10 the jockey,
and said "'The man is not worth a

The next evening he appeared

Fecundiiy OF Ducks and Iseu..

The English people are noted for
raising ducks, and they often make
interesting experiments. One was
lately made TO test the relative fe-
cundity between ducks and hens
and to determine which of the two
would produce the largest number
Of eggs in given time. For the
purpose three hens and three ducks
were selected, all hatched in Febru-
ary, and nOurished with suitable
food. In the following autumn the
ducks had laid 225 eggs, while the
hens ia this case had laid none. In
the following February the laying
began again with the ducks, and
continued uninterruptedly till Au-
gust. They showed no inclination
to set, and became very thin but su b.
sequently fattened somewhat. In
the meantime the hens had not been
Idle. The total number laid by the
hens amounted 10 257, or Sc eggs
each; and the ducks produced 392,
or l3l each. Although the eggs of
the ducks were rather smaller than
those Of the hens, yet they proved
to be decidedly superior in nutri-
tive material.

Tenderness TO Mothers.

Mark that parent heH," said
father to his beloved son. "With
what anxious care does she call to-
gsther her chickens and cover them
with her expanded wings. The
hawk is lowering i'm the air, and,
disappointed OF his prey, NAV, per-
haps dart upon the hen herself, and
bear her of in his talOns.
Does not this sight suggest to you
the tenderness and affection of your
mother? Her watchful care pro-
tected YOU in the helpless period of
infancy when she nourished you,
taught your limbs to move, and

and OF wisdom. Oh! cherish every

How a RattIesnake sounds the
Alarm.

The rattle has been too often de-
scribed to need much to be said
about it here; lis known to consist
of number Of bones, looking like
small knuckle-bones, securely fast
ened together, yet so loosely that
they make a Clicking" noise when
shaken. These grow on the tail of
the reptile, and the popular belief is
that the first joint, which is always
of darker color than the others,
takes two years to grow, while af-
forwards the snake has an addition
al Joint each year. Some observers
contest this, and argue that the rep
tile forms its rattle much faster than
at this rate. The wearing of this
rattle in the hat or bonnet is said to
be an infallible specific against the
headache, and is frequently worn on
that account.
/ have been on the prairie when
opinions have been divided as to
whether a certain ominous clicking
arose from the grasshoppers, which
were there in great numbers, or a
rattlesnake. 1t is not pleasant, at
twilight, to have any doubt on this
subject. The chief thing against the
rattlesnake theory was, that these
reptiles seldom move or leave their
holes after sundown. But l would
warn the reader not to depend too
much on this, as some snakes are
certainly of irregular habits, and
have been known to crawl into tents
and into beds within the tents
This was for the sake of warmth.
Very often the reptiles will content
themselves with coming inside; and
so true is it that use doth breed a
habit in a man, that have known
men to sleep quietly all through the
night when they were perfectly
aware that a rattlesnake was within
the walls of their tent. They rolled
themselves tigAtin blanket, know
ing that the creature would not
touch any one if it were not first
attacked, and that, when the light
came, it would go away.

There have been very remarkable

the love to man that Christ showed
