but carriages were sent throughout
town by the young men who formed
the committee of managers, and
enough young ladies' were conveyed
to the Hall to make the AFFAIR truly
pleasant, there being neither dearth
or too great crowd of dancers. Kings
were selected for the ball of next
Tuesday night, which, by the way,
promises to eclipse all it's predecessors.

Cincinnati-In the U. S. Court last week,
suit brought against the United States
Government by the Newport and Cincinnati
Railroad Bridge Company for 1857 900, allegea
damages incurred in tho consequence of alter
ations required in the construction OF the
bridge, as to it's height and the width of the
channel span. The assent of the United
states to the building OF this bridge was given
March 3, 1869. Tho Congressional legislation
requiring the change, on which the claim
based, was section fifth OF the bill for the ap
preparation for the post Office department for
the year ending June 80, 1872, and approved
March 1871. The same act provides that par
ties injured thereby may seek redress in the
u. s. Courts. The case is said to be the first
Of its kind brought against the Government.

Artists Studios.

As a rule there is nothing half SO cozy
as artists studios, though their style and
fashion is as varied as the works of their
owners. A few old examples may be
mentioned Millais's studio is fitted up
with artistic taste and elegance. Few
painters are so comfortably provided. To
nv thinking, a studio should be elegant
~ and artistically furnished. Millsis's
soft carpet, his classic vases, the flow
ing drapery, his pretty little piano, the
soft lights. the well-balanced color of
his furniture, and his flowers lying
carelessly here and there, are aprOpos
in the highest degree. Mr. O'Neil had
a severer taste; but the silence of dis
tant fields and forests seems almost to
reign in the admirably-codstructed
work-room in which Eastward Ho
and .sHome Again grew and astonishesl
the artists friends. 1t is easily t0
understand how the big, dull side OF
that famous ship wOuld startle the first
beholders who had access to O'Neil'H
studio. They thought their friend mad
to fill his foreground with such an ugly
mass but they were silenced when the
real homely English men and women
began to come down the side, saying
farewell to the gallant fellows who
presently crowded the deck and looked
over the bulwarks at the sorrow-stricken
dear ones for whom the old boatman
was waiting below. A contrast to both
these studios is that of Ben Leader, who
has made his way to the front as a lands
cape artist. It is surrounded by the
country which Leader loves to paint !;
the middle distance is fine, rich, open
meadow-land IN the far distance the
Malvern hills mount up TO the sky in a
graceful outline that rivals the sun sown
pictures of cloud mountains. Leaders
studio Is as simple as the most ordinary
workship. There Is nothing in It TO
distract the artists attention from his
work or to relieve the eye when it is
/ weary: but the worker has all kinds Of
shutters and mechanical contrivances
/ for the management Of his lights and
/ he paints with great facility, working
with unfiagging earnestness whsle he Is
at 1t. If he wants change, there is his
horse at the door, aud a gloriouseountry

Avoiding the streets where the gas burnt bright,
The tempest played pranks with her thin summer

OF her elegant wardrobe this was all

With tear in her eye but a smile on her face,
With sorrow, yet gladness, she entered the place;
For she'd written list of the things she would

St. Agnes,s Day at Rome.

This is St. Agnes's day. Doyou know
what that is2 No? Well, then st.
Agnes, like Mary, always had a little
lamb, ;" and on the 18th of January two
little lambs are blessed by the pope ia
honor of st. Agnes. They were very
beautiful. Two little white lambs with
out spot or blemish and washed perfect
ly clean, were brought into the church
of st. Agnes on cushions, then placed
on the altar, and after the ceremony of
high mass were blessed by the bishop,
after which they were sent to the pope
for his blessing Their legs were tied
together with red ribbons and their
bodies decorated with the monogram of
st. Agnes Is. Al, also in red ribbon.
One of them remained very quiet, but
the other did not seem to relish the
smoke of the incense and struggled hard
to escape, but the ribbons were too
strong for him. They were brought in
by full-robed priests, and after the
blessing were taken in carriage to the
Vatican to receive the pope's benedie-
tion. They were then sent to the con-
vent to be reared by the nuns of Agnes
until next summer, when their feeoes
will be taken off and placed in a vace
over st. Peters chair until the wool is
sanctifed, after which it is used in some
part of the pontifcal robes. AS this
takes place every year there is of course
more wool than the pope needs. The
balance is sent to the bishops and others
throughout the world on whom the pope
wishes to bestow some special mark of
favor. After shearing the lambs are
served up as chops for the pope's table.

Habits Of Reading.

All young people read a good deal
now but do not see that a great deal
comes of it. They think they have to
read a good many newspapers, and a
good many magazines. They are very
entertaining. But it is not always GER
tain that the reader gets from them Just
what he reads. On the other hand, it
is certain that people who only read the
current newspapers and magazines get
very little good from each others socie-
ty, because they are all fed with Just
the same intellectual food. You hear
them repeat to each other the things
they have all read in the Daily Trum-
pet or the Saturday Woodpecker. 1 see
no objection, however, to light reading,
desultory reading, the reading of news
papers, or the reading of felton, if you
take enough ballast with it, so that the
light kites, as the sailors call them, may
not carry your ship over in some sud
den gale. The principle of sound hab-
its OF reading, if reduced to q precise
rule, comes out thus. that for each
hour of light reading-of what we read
for amusement-we ought to take an
other hour of reading for instruction or
improvement. Ncr have I any objec-
ton to stating the same rule backward,
for that Is a poor rule that viii not
work both ways. 1t is, 1 think, true
that, for every hour we give to grave
reading, it is well to give a correspond
ing hour to what is light and amusing.
Now great deal more is possible under
this rule than you boys and girls think
at first Some of the best students in
the worldwide have advanced its af-
fairs furthest in their particular lines
have not in practice studied more than
two hours a day. Walter Scott, except
when he was goaded to death, did not
work more. Dr.. Bowditch translated
the great " Mecanique Celeste" +" in less
than two hours daily labor But then
it was regular as the movement of the
planets its described. 1t did not stop,
for whim, or by accident, more than
Jupiter stops in his orbit because hol-
iday comes round. e. e. Hale.
