1t is Il profound study. No instru-

for complication. 1t is a hammer, a

fingers alone contain elements of chisels,
gouges; and all the tools sculptor re-
quires in modelling. From the elbow to

produced by nearly fifty muscles. SO

THE HUMAN EYE.

Many tender and beautiful things have
been said of the eyes; yet how inferior
to the sweet things uttered by them
selves A full eye seems to have been
esteemed the most expressive. Such
was the eye that enchained the

writer, Halliburton, declares that he
would not give piece of tobacco for the
nose, except to tell when a dinner is
good nor a farthing for the mouth,
except as kennel for the tongue but

ciferously. Long as Jackson remained
in sight he was covering the ground at a

danced with delight ; for as he ran, from

TWO NTS


When trade grew slack, and notes fell due,
The merchants face grew long and blue;.
His dreams were troubled through the night,
With sheriifs, bailiffs, all in sight.
At last his wife unto him said
Rise up at once, get out of bed,
And got your paper, ink and pen,
And say these words unto all men -
"My goods wish to sell to you,
And to your wife and daughters, too;
My prices they shall be no low,
That each sha buy before they 60"
He did as his good wife advised,
And in the paper advertised.
Crowds came and bought of all ne had,
His notes were paid, his dreams were glad.
And he will tell you, to this day,
How well did printers ink repay.
He told us, with knowing win,
How he was saved with printers ink.
Anothcr--in place as tight
Contended with the press to slight:
He did not let the people know,
Of what he had or where to GO;
His drafts were due and We're not paid,
a levy ON his stock was made;
The stCrc was closed until the sale,
And FOR some time he was in Jail.
A bankrupt now, without cent,
At leisure he can deep repent
That he was foolish and unwise,
And did not freely advertise.

GREAT PYRAMID or CHEOPS.

1t is admitted to be the largest strnc-
ture on the globe reared by human hands.
For ages it has been described by trav-
elers, and all Imaginable uses have been
assigned to it, but i'll these latter days
men of science begin to confess that the
object is still Il mystery. No doubt
Cheops intended to be entombed in it
somewhere, but Herodotus had the testi-
mony of the priests and the traditions of
antiquity that the hard-hearted old Pha-
raoh's mummy was tucked away-where
he never intended his right royal body
should repose-to the day of judgment.
Suggestions respecting the exact pur-
pose contemplated in the building of
that monster of ancient stone masonry
might be quite us unsatisfactory as any
that have been discarded.
Therefore, withought troubling read
ers with notions based on our own per-
sonal examination, it is quite enough to
show its actual dimensions to astonish
those who have not seen it,
The original dimensions were 764
square feet at the base, 40S feet high,
43 acres, l rood, and % perches of lime
covering stone, at Gizeh, on the margin
of the Libian Desert, now about s miles
from the right bank Of the river Nile.
1t contains S9,O2S,00 cubic feet of
rough-split limestone. To build another
like it in the United States would cost
$50, 900, 900, provided the commission
ers were honest men. Managed like Il
court house job in New York, it would
remain unfinished after the expenditure
of $3.50, 600, 600 in gold.

THE S4M4 VA BAY PURCHASE.

A number of wealthy gentlemen con.
ceived the idea, some months ago, OF
purchasing Samana Bay and Peninsulal
of the Dominican Government, and, as.
certaining that such purchase could be
effected, they organized Il company and
set to work to complete the arrangement
| On the 18th of December last the pul-
chase was effected and "treaty" en-.
tered into which, in effect, transfers the
Island of San Domingo, as well as the
Bay of Samana, to their possession.
The company are granted Labout all the
rights of an independent government,
having their own flag, police, and reve-
nue. officers, the right to construct rail
roads, charter vessels, collect taxes, etc
and an arrangement by which any dis
pute arising between the company and
the government shall be referred to some
European power for arbitration. The
treaty went into effect the 1st of the
present month. This gigantic enterprise
is something new i'll the commercial
world, and must have a dispiriting effect
onJay Gould, Vanderbilt, and Othersmall
spectators in stocks. When few of our
business men club together and buy Il
nation for their private wants, we may
look for new developments in Wall street,
and fresh efforts by railroad kings and
journalists to outdo this last great
achievement. There can be no doubt
but these shrewd men understand what
they are aboat. Capital is very cautious
and sensitive, and the fact that they have
embarked in the enterprise with capital
of $50, 100000 will go far to show that
the President comprehended the stu
alton when he told us that the island
would be cheap as a Government pur-
chase at 81, 100000. The action of the
company may open the road to annex
alton, but this is not it's object as ex-
pressed by the officers, and it is some
thing of Il question if the whole island
will not soon be under it's exclusive dom
ination, making annexation a matter of
mere form. Since the days of Duke
Gwin we have had nothing like it, and
we shall begin now to look for another
American company that shall purchase
the Sandwich Islands, overturn the
American regency that now exists there,
and set up a model republic. Nicogo

NECESSITY or TENTILA TION.

NECESSIT1 or lEN1ILl1ION.
l hold that the breathing of impure
air is fruitful source of disease of the
right heart occurring after middle age.
How many people ignorantly favor its
occurrence by confning themselves to
rooms, in which the carbolic acid has
accumulated to two or three per cent. of
the air they respire How many are
thus destroyed by being compelled,
through the exigencies of life, to pass
the greater part of their time in pits
and manufactures where ventilation is
defective, or in which the air respired is
poisoned by noXious fumes and offensive
emanations from the materials undergo
ing the process of manufacture How
many are falling victims to the poison
ous influence upon the heart of the at
mosphere of an underground railway
What do these facts suggest? How are
these evil results to be prevented? The
simple answer is: Let the rooms in
which you live be effectually ventilated
by an incoming current of air filtered
from all adventitious impurities, and 50
divided that no draught shall be felt !;
and by an outgoing current which shall
remove from the apartments the carbon
ic acid, carbonic oxide, sulphurous-ac
gas, sulphuretted hydrogen, and other
noxious compounds, as rapidly as they
are generated Apply the same princi-
pie to public buildings, theaters, schools,
manufactures, pits, and to all places in
which people are accustomed to congre-
gate-Populur Science MonthW.

A LONESOME, H0MELEgS MINER

LONESOME, HOMELESS NiNI
MAN"
He was lonely miner-man
Who i'll his cabin dwelt,
Or trod the narrow trail that ran
Along the mineral belt;
And night and morn, with dinner-pail,
He back and forward strobe,
Nor at the hour was known to fail
To take the rocky road.
\ steady-going miner man,
He sat AT night and thought
And many curious miners plan
In fancy there he wrought,
As ill his cabin, all alone,
Before the dancing fire,
Full many a picture came and shOne
OF what he might desire.
A lonesome, homeless miner-man
Who cooked and washed and worked;
Perhaps his name was John, or Dan,
No cdds--ho never shirkcd;
And why care wha. his name might be
Who dalved with pick and drill?
Inc tiine-book OF The company
Had put him up as "BilI."
Some said he was a heartlesa man
Who didn't care at all
How matters ended, or began,
Outside his cabin wall
But once | watched him at the store
(postoilicc it was, too);
The keeper, as he passed the door,
Said, Letter here for YOU"
lie took the letter as he went,
Walking away alone,
And soon | saw him most intent
Sit reading on a stone;
And as he read the rolling tears
Came coursing down his face
His heart had Travelled back for years,
To childhood's tender place.
Now, when that miner raised his latch
What sorrow entered there,
To bow his head beneath the thatch
Rereading it with care?
How weary sat he by the fire.
Too sad and faint to cook
His lonely meal and then retire
Without voice or book.
All miner, you and I, and all,
Can never, if we would,
Shut up the heart, whate'er befall,
Against the true ard good;
And when the world looks worse and worse
The further of we roam,
We still have something that we nurse
The love at "mother's home"

CoLERIDGE had a custom of putting
aside his essays till the heat and excite
ment of composition had subsided, bran
dishing his pen and beating time with
his foot when he wrote, and ever and
again breaking out into shout at the
birth of felicitous idea.
