THE sllAlI's l,sCAE,E.

trhcSh Of Persia, whohas been en-
gagged in educating himself In the GUS
toms and habits Of his Saxon friends,
by travelling over Continental Europe,
recently made happy escape from
being robbed Of his many and price
less jewels. So soon us his intention
OF visiting Great Britain was an
nounScd,a few Of the bold sharks of
London, who understand the art of
beating unsophisticated youths out of
their wealth, conspired against the
king Of Kings and actually sue
ceeded in sccurlnga place for one of
their number in the Shal's body
guard, This accomplished scoundrel
laid his plans well, and thoroughly
matured every incident essential to
success of the scheme, which was
almost upon tl,e verge Of u full reali-
zation, and which would have been n
grand victory TO the conspirators, had
he not yielded to his predisposltion to
inhale the soporltlc fumes of opium
through his well colorcd merschaum.
lie smoked his inviting pipe a little
too long, and became a tile too much
influenced by theslccpy effects Of his
opium and thus twas that the royal
head Of the Persian house escaped the
mcshcs so~aftily laid for his inveigle-
mcnt. The Shah had been first Sc
duced BY Q beautiful woman employed
by his consplrators for the purpose of
decoying him from his castle, and had
his treachcrous guard kept upon his
feet instead of getting drunk upon the
influence Of "the enticing drug he
would have been easily captured when
held fast by the fair arms employed
for his qualification. AnAmerlcan by
the name Of Hawkins worked up the
job, and escaped any liability Of his
criminal combination in fleeing The
country.

The Power of a Locomotive.

When the first locomotive was pat
ented, driving only one car, If lightly
loaded, it did very well but when the
lond il drew was heavier than its own
weight, its wheels would not bite, that
is. thev would turn rou ID and round
without advancing Hence cow-catcher
was needed behind to guard against cat
tie running into it in therear. 1t seemed
at first impossible to make less weight
move greater on an up grade; and Tor
some years no one invented an engine
able to draw three times its own weight.
At the present day, however, locomo-
tiyes sweep along with trains more pom
derous by fifteen or twenty times than
they are themselves. One means OF
gaining this vast increase of power for
the locomotive, was by dividing the load.
1t was found, that an engine powerless
to stir five times its weight OF freight
when concentrated in one car, could
readily draw it when distributed In
dozen cars loosely shackled together. 1t
was heavier than each single car; and
it had overcome the inertia OF each
one a monument before it encoun-
tered the inertia of another. 1t was
thus more than match for each car
taken singly; and, pulling them sue
cessively, it drew after it train as long
as a comet, and the farther it ran the
more strength it had to run further.
Here was the story of little David over
again. Ordinarily, the stripling's weight,
as he told Goliah, was one hundred and
twenty, but whenever he got mad he
weighed a ton. Moreover, the engine
forced the momentum acquired by ev-
cry car it had started, to swell its own
potency in overcoming the resistance OF
all that remained still motionless.
To think what we do not feel, Is 10
! lie TO ourselves.

A Lobster Farm.

In order to keep up a supply, lob
ster farm has been established within
the last year on the coast of Massachu-
setts. A space of thirty acres of flats in
an arm of the sea was enclosed by a
dyke, with an arched way in the centre,
to permit the ebb and flow of the sea,
the tide rising three feet inside and
eight feet outside During July and
August of 1872, 10000 of all age sizes
and conditions were let loose in the
pond. Food, consisting of refuse from
the fish market, was plentifully sup
piled to them, and the gate was put up
to prevent their escape to the sea. Last
winter holes were cut in the ice and
traps were ptt down. Good hardshell
Holsters were caught, thus proving that
the water was deep enough and pure
enough to keep the fish alive, and that
the Holsters were healthy, having taken
on heir hard shells, and having recov-
cred theirlost claws This spring about
Il, 900 male Holsters were taken out and
sold, the female Holsters having been
thrown back for breeding purposes.
Few are aware OF the great length of
our seacoast, measuring all bays and
inlets of water, and how large the bust
ness Of raising oysters, clans, Holsters
and other fish may become. Some wa
ters are already worth thousand dol
lars an acre for the production of oys-
ters

smeared all over with mud, wearing
their hair and beard uncut, and looking
altogether perfectly hideous and per
fectly self-satisfed. Some of them are
very distinguished, as he who has come
down from Benares, measuring the
whole distance with his PROSTATE body;
and he who lies all day on plank,
studded with nails, points upwards; /;
and he who has held his hand up in the
air for twenty-five years, till the finger
nails have grown SO long that he ap-
pears to be holding up bunch Of
snakes, and the muscles of the arm
perfectly rigid, This wretched man
will consent to bring his hand down
again Che says he would have to soak
the muscles in oil for three weeks in
order to do,) if anyone will feast for
him three thousands Brahmans.
Truly there is not much that is pleas
ing in Jatra-chidish amusements
and miserably corrupt superstition.
Still, Angle-Saxons at least must admire
that hundreds of thousands of persons
are content to take their holiday where
no liquor is allowed to be sold, and
that, great as are the crowds, there is
no quarrelling, and, helpless and unpro-
tected as the people are, scarcely any
crime. -MacmiHan's Magasine.

Evil Of Interruption in Intellectual
Work.

Few people realize the full evil of an
interruption, few people know all that
is implied by it. Florence Nightingale
saw " If we consider as with sick as
with well, every tn ught decomposes
some nervous matter, that to obtrude
another thought upon the brain whilst
it is in the act .Of destroying nervous
matter by thinking, is calling upon it to
make new cxertion, we shall remem-
Der that we are doing positive injury by
iuterrupting. If the invalid is forced
by his avocations to continue Occupa-
tons reqiring much thinking, the injury
is doubly great. If you offer the brain
thought, especially one requiring n
decision, abruptly, you do it a real, not
fanciful injury. This rule applies to
the well quite as much as to the sick. |
have never known persons who exposed
themselves for years to constant inter
rupti0n who did not muddlc away their
intellects by it at last The process,
with them, may be accomplished with
ont pain. With the sick, pain gives
warning of the injury Interruption
is III evil to the reader which must be esti-
mated very differently from ordinary
business Interruptions. The great qucs-
tion about interruption is not whether
it compels you to divert your attention
to other facts, but whether it compels
You to tune your whole mind to another
dapason. Su pose a reader perfectly
absorbed i'll his author, an author be-
longing very likely to another age and
another civilization entirely different
from ours If you are reading in the
daytime in Il house where there women
and children, or where people can fas-
ten upon you for pottering details of
business, you may be sure that you will
not he able to get to the end Of the pas
sage without in some way or other being
rudcly awakened from your dream, and
suddenly brought back into the com
mon world The loss intellectually is
greater than any one who had not suf-
tered from it could imagine. People
think that IN interruption is merely the
unlocking of an electric chain, and
that the current will flow, when the
chain is hooked on again, just as it did
before. TIE the intellectual and imagi-
native student an interruption is not
that it is the destruction of picture.

THE REALMS OF LONG AGO.

The day, with its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates
AID single star in the coudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
lullaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound Of the stream
That winds along with lullinv flow,
And either awake or half in dream,
pass through the realms of Long ago.
While faces peer with many a smile
From the bowers of Memory's magical isle.
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and tears
That check the path Of lifeS april hours,
And longing wish for the coming years
That hope ever wreaths with fairest flowers;
There are friendships guileess--love as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and broken vow,
And an aching heart by the restless main,
And the sea breeze tanning pad brow,
And wanderer on the shcll-lined Shore
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire 10 stand in the van
OF tho battle of life-and the heart of the child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling man
But short the regrets and few the tears
That fell at the tomb of the vanished years
There's quiet, and peace, and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And love unquestioning, far above
The passionate dreaming Of ardent youth;
And kissing of children on lip and cheek,
And the parents bliss which no tongue can speak
Thee are loved ones lost! There are little graves
In the distant dell meath protecting trees,
Where the strcamlet winds and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze
Aud we mourn for the pressure of tender lips,
And the light Of eyes darkGned in earths eclipse
And thus, as the glow of the daylight flies,
And the nights first look to the earth is cast,
| gaze meath those beautiful summer Skies
At the pictures that hang on the wall Of the past
sorrow and joy chant mingled lay,
When to memorys wildho0d we wander away.

Rome and Naples Contrasted.

What contrast between the cam
pagna of Naples and the campagna of
Rome In the one is unity, and in the
other variety; in this is the sublime,
and in that the beautiful here the
majesty and there the grace; in Rome
is heard the melody of lament like
the harmonious psNlmody of the bibli-
cal prophets, and in Naples the choir of
the ancient Greek divinities. But, if
the contrast is great between country
and{country, how much greater IS 1t be-
tween city and city Let the sworn
enemies of pontitical Rome say what
they will, it appeared to me, when COM
pared with Naples, severe, a most
severe city. At least there reign in
Rome sadness and silence. Its inhabi-
tants seem to look upon darkness. Their
faces have certain solemn sadness, like
that of Il sovereign, but of Il dethroncd
race. The innumcrablc converts, the
multitudes of monks, the chapels which
arise on all sides, the statues which or
naments the corners of the streets, all
show that the Romans are Il people sub
missiye to theocracy while the cries in
the streets of Naples, the continual vo-
alterations. the gay groups standing
around, the universal gayety, the dances
or one side, the opcn-air concerts on
the other, the concourse of people to
the watcr-stalls and cafes, show you are
in n civil city where life is continual
festival. And there is no longer the
same number of religious pictures as
formerly. For the image of the Saviour
they have substituted the portrait of
Garibaldi. 10 worship is II necessity
for the Neapolitans, to worship feryent-
" whatever be the object of their adora-
ton; to worship devotedly among
blows and outcrics, with hu2aas and
shouting; with all the eXatotion COM
mon to highly-nervous tcmpernmentS,
and with the fanaticism which accom-
panes the excitement Of southern pas
sions kindled by the intense heat of the
climate. There is something of Vcs'I-
wins, something of its burning fires,
something of its cruptions, something
also of its changeabIencss in the tickle
and ardent nature of the Neapolitans-
OF those degenerate Greeks who dwell
always with smile upon their lips
upon the borders of death threatened
by their volcano with doom similar to
thai which buried the cities of Pompeii
and Herculancum. EHtHiO C0StelGr.

EXAMPLE is the best textbook. Look
at the power of example when courage
is demanded. 1t is slavery when SOL
diers are driven against the enemy by
the despotic commands of leader who
does not share the danger but let the
general ride to the front, along the line,
and show brave heart and calm and
resolute face, and the whole army will
catch his spirit, and march on tovictory
or death. Napoleon, at the head of his
army, was said to count for ten thou
sand men. Murat, leading his cavalry,
was invincible.
