DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION In TOWNS.
1t is stated in . work on the atmosphere,
by Flammarion, that in nearly oil the large
towns of Europe, the wealthy classes have
districts for the laboring population. The
remark applies to Paris, London, Vienna,
even to Pompeii. A writer in Nature !"
confirms the observation, as regards num-
Der of towns in Great Britain and Ireland.
1t would be interesting to know whether
the same tendency is observable in the
cities of the United States. Flammarion's
explanation is that the movement lie deter
mined by the disposition people have " to
form their gardens, build their houses, and
take their evening walks in the direction
of the setting sum-" Another writer is in
clined rather to account for the phenome-
non by referring it to the general dislike
of an easterly wind. Then, too, o westerly
wind usually causes the greatest fall of the
barometer, and thus the eastern portion OF
town becomes inundated with the efiuvia
which arise on such occasions. But before
accepting any or all of these explanations,
it would probably be best to ascertain be-
yond a doubt whether the observation
itself is we'll founded.

Tho Useful and the Bsautiful.

The inventive faculty in man was, doubt |
less, frat turned to the manufacture Of uten- |
sils for the ihousehold, and articles to be
used in war aud in the chase, and, subse-
of agriculture and the mechanical arts.
These various appliances were at first very
rude, without beauty OF outline or proper
ton bnt obseyyation, and the stndy of
adaptation Of means to ends. united to
growing skillfulness in the line of special
employ ments, accomplished what had in the
beginning we'll nigh seemed impossible.
In nothing is this more apparent than in
| the contrast presented between the first
rude hut Of the savage-made Of twigs or
bark, maud or clay-and the magnificent
edifice of the present day, with its elabo-
rate adornments and multiplied appliances
for comfort and convenience. The earlier
Inhabitants of France, Britain, Spain, and
other countries, all had dwellings of the
form and style Grst named, and in some of
the remote, out of-the- way places in these
old countries may yet be seen remains OF
cabins that are scarcely remove from the
4 most primitive habitations of men. In
of America, we have also abundant exam
pies of the mode of living and the habits OF
uncivilized peoples.
It was from the progress made in the
fabrication of the useful, that persons Of
intelligence came to realize what is truly
4 beautiful. Daily practice and experience
made true art more easy Of attainment,
and thus, by degrees, the races of men ele.
waited themselves to o higher plane. The
acquisition of knowledge gained in this
way led to important discoveries in the
arts and sciences, and the intellect began
to show its absolute supremacy over mere
!, ply sical force.
The distinction between savage and civ.
, ilized man consists in the advantages thus
gained over mere brute strepgth-the liv
3 ing for..something beside the qualification o
|, the animal nature-as well as in the mode
. of communicating thought and expressing
q ideas, which in wild conditions of existence
= are very circumscribed and unsatisfactory
t The boosted cultivation of even the mos
# civilized people, however, is far from beinl
= satisfactory. The masses of mankind ar
: still subject to great disadvantages the,
y have but little time OF opportunity to cui
tivate taste for the beautiful object
It either of art or nature. The qualification
t of the higher nature ia too often subject t
Q the necessities of mere existence, an
: the beautiful is altogether supplanted b
@ the imperative claims of the useful. Witt
o the progress of the future centuries, W
% trust the time will come when it will b
It the aim of the majority, and within thei
d power also, to place the practical and til
b beautiful side by side, bestowipg equa
t thought and effort to attain both.-Ne'

John Ploughmau once said: I never
knew q good horse which had not some
odd habit or other, and L never yet saw a
minister worth his salt, who had not some
crotchet or oddity. Now these are the bits
Of cheese that cayiiers smell out and mo
too fast !; the first is too howery, and the
second is too dull. Dear me, if all of Gods
creatures were judged in this way, we
should wiring the doves neck for being too
tame, shoot the robins for eating spiders,
the hens for not giving US milk. When q
man wants to beat q dog, he can soon find
o stick, and at this rate any fool may have
something to say against the best minister
in England.
