A BAsHFUL YoUTH.-If there is any
defect in the American character more
striking than another it is bashtulness. -
Young America, in particular, is painful
ly affected by it. An incident is mem
toned by correspondent who was desir
ed by his aunt to go to neighbor Shaw's
and see if he had any straw suitable for
filing beds. "Mr. Shaw" says our in
formant was blessed with goodly num-
Der Of Misses Shaw, and 1 therefore felt
little timid at encountering them. To
make the matter worse arrived just rs
the family were seated at dinner. Stop
ping at the door, hat in hand, l stammer-
ed out, Mr.. Straw, can. you spare
enough Shaw to FIJI couple Of beds p
Well replied the old gentleman, glanc-
ing around Mt his large family, and ap-
preciating my mistake, don't know but
/ can, how many will you need p Be-
fore I could recover, those hateful girls
burst into chorus of laughter and ! re-
turned to nay aunt" ~4~a.-

INTENSE radiation of heat in the great

INTENSE radiation Of heat in the great
desert OF Sahara produces extraordinary
effects on insects, as we'll us animals and
men. When n caravan starts out to
traverse that wide waste of desolation,
flies follow on in prodIgious multtudes,
attracted, no doubt, by odor from tho
animals, but they soon drop dead by in
tensilied heat. Fleas burrowing in hair,
straw or stacks arc killed of rapidly.
But the most singular of it is the maady
" which men are incident after being
exposed short time 10 burning sands
and II vertical sun in this arid and life
forsaken region. 1t is called ragle, and
is a kind of brain fever. The stricken
traveller is delighted, amused and made
excessively happy by exhibitions of fan
tastic forms. He sees mirages, palm
trees, groups of tents, sheeny mountains,
sparkling cascades and misty forms dane
ing delightfully."- before his entranced vi
sion. From all that can be gathered up
on the subject, it appears that certain
condition Of atmosphere, wholly free from
moisture, with intense solar heat, produces
an effect on the brain very similar to
hasheesh. Both exalt the nervous system
and destroy all desires to exist, deprived
of the natural exeitation Of the brain.

CLERICAL VITA celebrated clergy
man of the Baptist persuasion, personally
known to many of the Oldest inhabitants
OF this city, was once waited on IAN old
woman and young man, who desired
him to join them in marriage. Much to
their surprise, he utterly refused to per-
form the ceremony. Being asked the
reason for his conduct, he replied: ~ am
always ready to marry young man and
a young woman for such match con-
slider is often of Gods making and l
will marry an old man and young wo-
man-for such match is one of mans
making but l will not marry an old wo-
man and young man--for such match
l believe to be the devit's making."

ANCIENT TIMBER.-P Probably the old
est timber in the world which has been
subject to the use of man, is that which
is found in the ancient temples of Egypt.
1t Is found in connection with stone work
which is known to be at least 1000 years
old. This wood, the only wood used in
the construction of the temple, Is in the
form Of ties, holding the end of one stone
to another in its upper surface. When
two blocks we're laid in place, then 1t APP
pears that an excavation about an inch
deep was made in each block, into which
an hour-glass shaped tic was driven. 1t
is therefore very difficult TO force any
stone from its position. The ties appear
to have been made of the tamarisk or
chittim-wood, of which the ark was con-
structed, a sacred tree in ancient Egypt,
and now very rarely found in the valley
of the Nile. Those dove-tailed ties are
just as sound now rs on the day of their
insertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in that country, those bits of wood
are not large enough to make it an object
with the Arabs to throw OF layer after
layer of the stones for the coveted prize.
Had they been made of bronze, half the
old temples would have been destroyed
ages ago, so precious would they have
been for various reasons.

THE HENPEcKED MAN.-The hen
pecked man, says Josh Billings, IL gen
orally married, but there are instances on
the record of single men who have been
harassed by pullts.
Yu kin alwus tell one of these kind ov
men, espeshily if they are in company
with their wives. They alwus look as re-
sighned TO their fate NJ a hen turky on Il
wet day.
There amt nothing that will take tho
starch out Of n man like being pecked by
woman. 1t is wuss than seven months
of the fever anagy.
The wives ov henpecked men most al
wuz outliv their victims, and / hev known
them to git married agin, and git hold ov
man that time Ohank the Lord y who
understands all the henpeck lodges.
One ov these kind ov husbands is an
onner to his sex.
The henpecked man, when he gifts out
amungst men, puts on an air ov bravery
and defiance, and once in while will git
a little drunk and then go home with n
full determination to be the captin ov hiz
household but the old woman soon takes
the glory GU, of him, and handles him
just as she would n haff grown chicken,
who had fell into a swill baril and had to
be jerked out awful quick.

THE STONES IN SoLoMoN's TEMPLE.
The marble stones which composed
Solomon's temple were said to be forty
cubits long, twelve thick, and eight high.
Supposing a cubit to be eighteen inches,
which is the lowest estimate, they would
be sixty feet long, eighteen thick and
twelve high. And supposing cubic foot
Of marble to weigh 2,707 ounces, one OF
these stones weighed 2,7l5,O3S pounds and
twelve Dances. If one man was able to
lift 200 pounds, it required 1860 men to
raise one of these, and also little boy
who could raise 80 pounds and twelve
ounces. Supposing one man required
one square yard to stand upon, it would
require two acres, three roods, clever
perches and twelve yards to stand upon
while raising it, besides a place for the
little boy to stand. What floats must
have been necessary to carry them across
to Joppa. What kind Of teams as well
as wagons do you suppose they had to
carry these stones from Joppa to Jerusa-
lem, which is about thirty miles through
a mountainous country. What skill was
necessary to square and dress these i'm
mense stones, SO that when they were
brought together they fitted so exactly
that they had the appearance of one
stone.

She glared at the mud on the doorstep, Ctwas

And pleasures will dwindlc and prices will

And nothing is what could wish it to be.
There's too much of worriment goes TO a

There's too much of ironing goes to shirt 4;
There's nothing that pays for the time you

THE MOON A DEAD WORLD.

Among the illusions swept away by
modern science was the pleasant fancy
that the moon was habitable globe, like
the earth, its surface diversified with seas,
lakes, continents and islands, and varied
forms of vegetation. Theologians and
savants gravely discussed the probabili-
ties of its being inhabited bya race of
sentient beings. with forms and faculties
like our own, and even propounded
schemes for opening communication with
them, in case they existed. One Of these
of Asia series of geometrical figures, on
u scale SO gigantic as to be visible from
our planetary neighbor, on the supposition
that the moon people would recognize the
object, and Immediately construct similar
figures in reply! Extravagant and absurd
as it may appear in the light OF modern
science nothing but the great expense
stood in the way of actual experiment
but the discussion was kept up at inter.
walls, until it was discovered that ii there
were people in the moon they must be
able to live without breathing or eating
or drinking. Then it ceased.
There can be no life without air. Beau
tiful to the eye of the distant observer,
the moon is sepulchral orb--a world OF
death and silence. No vegetation clothes
its vast plains of dcsolation, traversed by
monstrous crevices, broken by enormous
peaks that rise like gigantic tombstones
into space, no lovely forms of cloud float
in the blackness OF its sky. There day
time is only night lighted bya rayles'
sun. There is no rosy dawn in the morn
ing, no twilight in the evening. Tn,
nights are pitch dark. In daytime tn,
solar beams are lost against tho jagge(
ridges, the sharp points of the rocks, %
the steep sides of profound abysses; anC
the eye sees only grotesque shapes relieveC
against fantastic shadows black as ink
with none of that pleasant graduation anC
diffusion of light, none of the subtle
blending Of light and shadow, which
make the charm of terrestrial landscape
There is no color, nothing but dead white
and black. The rocks reflect passively
the light of the sun; tho craters and
abysses remain wrapped in shade; fantas'
tic peaks rise like phantoms in their gla'
cial cemetery; tho stars appear like spots
in the blackness of space. The moon is II
dead world /; she has no atmosphere.

DR.. BRENNAN's CURE FOR INSANITY.
A few days ago Peter Oliver, a handsome
young Irishmsn of twenty-tour years was
taken to the Bellevue Hospital a raving
maniac. He was thrust into one of the
cells in the lower part Of the building,
and with much difficulty pinioned to the
bed. He yelled and struggled at such a
rate that he was ordered to be put into a
strait jacket. On Thursday morning,
while the physicians weretrying to devise
some proper treatment, Warden Brennan
sent for the young mans sweetheart, and
in an hours time pretty blue-eyed Irish
girl, blushng and laughing, came to the
warden and said she guessed she was the
"only swateheart Peter ever had" Slip
ping into the cell of the madman, she
went to his bedside, put her arm about
his neck and kissed him. He ceased to
struggle and became quiet. She smooth
ed his forehead, gently stroked his face,
and fed him as though he were child.
The hearty warden watched with delight
the progress OF his remedy, which he
called homeopathic. AT o'clock, wher
the rosy little physician kissed her patient
good-by, he was as sane rs he ever was

case of insanity where the patient has &
