whom il is difficult to describe, though
we know him when we see him. He
knows a good deal more than his pro-
ienitor, both about the world at large
and himself, and he has been taught
from his cradle up that the old fashion,
ed system of English observation was
wrong. He has learned that his pro-
penitor and his pr0genitors friends in
Parliament made terrible mistakes dur
ing the rebellion in thinking that they
understood the American question; he
finds it admitted on all hands that this
is a great country with q great future
before it. He finds general dispGsi-
lion among his own countrymen to be
as civil as circumstances will permit to
America, and has learned from Carlyle
TO be earnest. and from Ruskin to be
faithful in his work, and from Matthew
Arnold that criticism must be full of
sweetness and light. He is filled with
an earnest desire to do right, and to find
out what he can about the United States
from the best sources. Accordingly he
cOnsults our own persons and studies the
savings and speeches of our great men,
and the result is that he has reduced
himself to a state of bewilderment which
battles description. He is given to un-
derstand, for example, that this country

ton, says Capt. Tyson, six years ago,
was the principal in an adventure singu-
larlv like that of the Polaris. He was
in command of the schooner Era on
whaling voyage from New London to
Greenland In the Fall of the year,
while lying in Cumberland Sound, the
ship broke from her cable and he was
obliged to abandon her with all his crew
of twenty-four men, taking with HIM
stores and provisions. Making his way
to sho with the crew, he built tents OF
sails taken from the vessel, and lived
under them during the entire Winter.
His vessel was five miles from the shore
in the ''pack ice, without anchorage
all. the time. When the ice broke up in
the Spring, on seeing that the ship was
not seriously damaged, he regained it,
filled it with oil and returned to New
London. Tyson is a brave, dashing
captain, who will expose his vessel to
the dangers of an Artic Winter up to
the very last moment of salty, and will
often accomplish brilliant results.

Light and the Complexion.
EFFECT OF LIGHT UPON THE HUMAN FACE
INTERESTING FACTS TOUCHING yAR;.
oUs NATIONS.

INTERESTING FACTS TOUCHING vkBs-
oUs NATIONS. -
The action of light on the human skin
is manifest. 1t browns and tans the teg-
uments by calling ont the productions
of the coloring matters they contain.
The parts of the body usually bare, as
the skin of the face and hands, are dark
er than others. In the same region
country people are more tanned than
town residents. In latitudes not far
apart the inhabitant of the same coun-
try vary in complexion in a measure
perceptibly related TO solar light. In
Europe three varieties Of color in the
skin are distinctly marked olive brown
with black hair, beard and eyes chest
nut with tawny beard and blush eyes;
blonde, with fair beard and sky blue
eyes. White skins show more readily
alterations occasioned by light and heat
but, though less striking. facts of varia-
tioD in color are observable in others.
The Scytho-Ara5ic has but half its rep
resentatiye in Europe and Central Asia,
while the remainder run down to the
Indian Ocean, continuing to show the
/ gradual raising of climate by deepening
| brown complexiOns. Tie Himalayan
/ Hindoos are almost white; those of the.
t Decean, the Coromandel. Malabar and
/ Ceylon are darker than some negro
/ tribes The Arabs, dark and almost fair
ia Armenia and Syria, are deep brown
| in Yaman and Muscat
The Egyptians, as we 90 from tbs
mouth of the the Nile up stream to-
/ ward its source, present an ascending
1 chromatic scale, from white 10 black,
/ and the same is true of the Tuariks, Oh
/ the southern side of the Atlas, who arc
| only light olive, while their brethren in
/ the interior of Africa are black. Th.
ancient monuments of Egypt show us A
| fact as equally significant The men
are always depicted of reddish brown
they live in the open air, while the
women, kept shut up, have pale yel-
/ low complexion Barrow asserts that
the MantchOo Tartars have grown whit
/ er during their abode in China. Remu-
sat. Pallas, and Gutzlaff speak of tho
/ Chinese women as remarkable for a Eu-
! ropean fairness.
The Jewesses of Cairo or Syria, al
ways hidden under wells la their houses,
| have pallid color. In the yellow races
/ of the Sumatra Sound and the MaldiVes
the women, always covered up, are ike
/ pale wax. We know, too, that the Es-
| quimaux bleach during their long winters.
These phenomena, no doubt, are the re-
suits of several influences arising at
once, and light does not play the sole
part in them. Heat and other conditions
of the medium probably have share in
these operations of color. Still, the pc
culiar and powerful effect of luminous
radiation as part of them is beyond
dispute. Popular. Science Monthly.

NETTIRES.
JUDGE NOT THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED.

JUDGE NOT THAT 1E BE NOT JUDGED. .
To commence a la Wilkie Collins -
The time was morning the scene, Miss
Nettire's bed chamber the personages,
Miss Nettire and an angel, on whom she
had Just opened her eyes.
Miss Nettire was person who regu-
lated herself by certain infallible rules.
She never deviated from them by the
breadth of. a hair. You at once per-
ceive that she could have no faults. Her
neighbors did not deyiate from these
rules worse yet, sometimes wholly de-
MED their efficacy Being faultless her
self, Miss Nettire had all the more time
to devote to her neighbors, and, as a
right minded woman, was in constant
concern about them.
Therefore, when, as | have just said,
she beheld an angel, who demanded of
her the names of the most grevious sim
ners who had offended her, she might
have been started, but she was not
| amazed beyond measure. She had a
feeling that it was very much what
might be expected of Heaven, and that
the angels selection of a guide was not
amiss. She answered the question with
full degree of composure, and then a
vast complacency expanded within. her.
| Now it would be seen with the sanction
of heaven upon her, who was right
she, or the people who sneeringly de-
clared that, if she were a saint they pre-
ferred to remain among the sinners.
How would they do? Would they shrek,
or swoon, or fall on their knees and call
on her for protection

IN.
Time, lunch-time; place, Mrs. Gore
outs breakfast room; persons, the angel
and Mrs. Nettire, Mrs. GoTeOut and her
cousin Sue.
Mrs. Goreout was a pretty woman,
and made the most of it. Her chestnut
hair was rolled back becommgly. from
her arch face A light-minded bit of
lace perched jauntily over her forehead,
evidently setting up for breakfast cap,
though it could have no reasonable eX-
pectation of being taken for anything
more than a rosette. In Miss Nettire's
opinion this bit of lace was the keynote
to Mrs. Goreout's character. 1t was of
no possible use. 1t could not keep her
warm. She did not need it, for she was
not bald. 1t was just there to look
pretty-Mrs. GoreOut's highest aim and
constant endeavor, although she bypo-
critically pretended not to care about
pretty things.
Now" thought Miss Nettire, -" if
she knew an angel was looking at her,
wonder if she wouldn't wish her
self in a plain gray dress, instead of that
ruffied wrapper, and whether she would
try to tuck her hair behind her ears or
not 2" .a..
But Mrs. Goreout evidently had no
suspicion of the angel. She sat compla-
cent IN her iniquitous gown, smiling as
she dropped Jumps of sugar in cousin
Sues coffee, and talking in pleasant
voice.
"Grevious things are said against me-.
What are they, Sue ?"
She smiled, and coined a word on the
spot -
''Nettires.
"Oh!" Mrs. Goreouts white forehead
had contracted little.
s'You are a member of the church,

for moment, and then flashed a bright
smile at Susan.

that God had made one world for the
