LETTER FROM LUNENBURG.


1t looks little "bluG" as | write
this 18th day of April with snow
above the window sills, although it
has been stalking leave" for num-
Der of days and at the present ratio
of departure many days will be re-
quircd for its final dissolution. A
poor robin comes hopping up to the
window, picking on a snow bank
four feet deep, looks in inquiringly,
as if it had made a mistake, and like
the dove Of old conld not Hiind the
solid earth on which to rest" Even
the Woodehuck almanac makers
have made mistake, or they have
not tailed right. for many weeks ago
some of them dug out through the
banks, and very industriously
made for the bark of the Learest trees
for livelihood. Even the sheep look
from the yards where they have been
pent for six months vey longingly
to the few bare knobs, which look
very temptingly, and like an oasis in
this great snow desert. Wherever
we live we must be subject to the
laws Physical and Political, remem-
bering there is One at the Helm that
makes no mistakes, that brings "order
out Of apparent disorder" and all
for the good of animal and vegetable
life. This great winding sheet, that
has so long buried, the youth, beauty
and lovliness Of the past year, will
soon pass away, and the earth again
will awake to q newer life, a more
beautiful resurrection, and in the joy
Of the newer youth, shall we not for
get the cold rigors Of winters desola
ton. 1t is not altogether a mans
surroundings that makes life, it is
what is within him, remembering
with the poet:
"Tis hope. and joy, and memory give,
A home in which the heart can live"
| have never learned Of place
on earth, Of perfect contentment
of perfect happiness and repose
| am not one Of those that believes,
oil things considered, that one
portion of this earth, that is de,
signed for human habitstion, is SC
much better than another, that all
men should be fighting for it. 1t is
said that the most contented tribes or
the earth are those that live tal
North Of us where the sun is not
seen for months. | am willing tC
admit that the rigors of the 45th Par
allel are sufficient for me, without try
ing the higher ATTITUDES. The inte'
lect and backbone Of the world, hath
its habitation between the 10th anC
50th parallels oflatitude in the North
ern Hemisphere. If the climate Is
rigorous, so are the people. These
snowdrilts, give energy, strength
power of endurance, will to overcome
1t is q mistaken notion, that reposC
hero is happiness, it's misery. IT.
the hope, the labor, the activity, the
pleasant memories that come from al
upright life, that enables Us to live
over our lives, but oh how miserable
if those memories are Of the dark
deeds Of wasted lives, of ghosts that
drive quietness from us, and shirk
ing fear of the justice we may escape
here, which will surely be visited OF
US hereafter, it is what's within IL;
that makes ue miserable, and no
altogether the stumbling blocks o
Nature. Would that we could al
subdue ourselves. W

Wherein Gentlemanlinesg Consists.


What it is that constitutes the look of
gentleman is more easily felt than de-
scribed we all know it when we see it,
but do not know how to account for it,
or to explain wherein it consists. Ease,
grace, dignity have been given as the ex-
ponents and expressive symbols of this
look but I would rather say that an ha-
bitual self-pOssession determines the ap-
pearance of a gentleman. He should
have the complete command, not only
over his countenance, but over his limbs
and motions. In other words, he should
discover in his air and manner a volun-
tary power over his whole body, which
with every infection of it should be I'M
der the control of his will It must be
evident that he does as he likes, with
out any restraint, confusion, or awk-
wardness. He is, in fact, master of his
person, as the professor of any art or
science is of a particular instrument he
directs it to whatever use he pleases and
intends. Wherever this power and fac
ulty appear, we recognize the look and
department of the gentleman, that is,
of a person who by his habits and inter
course with society, has had little else
to do than to study those movements
and that carriage of the body which are
accompanied with most satisfaction to
himself, and were to excite the approba-
ton of the behol Ter. Ease, it might be
observed, is not enough dignity is too
much There must be a sort of retenue,
a conscious decorum, added to the first,
and certain " familiarity of regard
quenching the austere countenance of
control in the other, to answer to our
conception of this character. Perhaps
propriety is as near word as any to de-
note the manners of the gentleman, ell
egance is necessary to the fine gentle
man; dignity is proper to noblemen ;

Very Absent-M Minded,

The most absent-minded man we ever
knew was our friend, GenI Mumm. He
lost one of his legs in the late war, and
he always wore patent artificial leg
full of springs and joints. Sometimes,
when he started out in the morning, he
would get his leg on hind-part foremost.
and then he would go straddling down
the street with one set of toes pointing
east and the other set pointing west.
His right knee would head in one diree-
ton and his left would bulge out in
another, and the old man would bob up
and down like a iumping-iack worked
with a string. Presently he would
meet us and come jolting up to say
that he wished we would pitch into the
highway department for leaving the
pavements in such rascally condition
that man couldn't walk straight.
Previous to the war, while he was down
mt Cape May one summer, he took a
buff-bath early in the morning, and
while in the water he got to meditating
upon some abtruse subject, and forget
ting himself, he came walking out upon
the beach and up the street to the hotel
dressed in nothing but sad, sweet
smile, just as the people were coming
down to breakfast. Only a very short
time ago he hitched his horse to a
sulky, with the animals nose pushed
close up against the dasher, and started
off backward without noticing the di-
rection. At the end of the first half
mile the vehicle iammed up against
tree, and the general shot out over
the horses tail. If he doesn't get out
of his coffin at his own funeral, and in
sist upon going as paIl-bearer, it will be
singular. AdeLer.

The West Coast Of Mexico

The trade of the west coast of Mexico
is, and has been for many years, almost
entirely under the control of Germans
and Spaniards. There are some few
English and French, but the Germans
largely preponderate. Business, as con-
Quoted by them, has required the con-
troll of immense capital and though,
measured by our commercial standard,
their method would be unequivocally
condemned, their system has resulted
in the monopoly which they have hither-
to enjoyed, and to which their enter
prise and forecast entitle them. They
have almost entirely adopted the old
Spanish system of " expeditions" each
great house importing one two, or per
haps even three, cargoes year. a
month or two before these expeditions
are expected to arrive, the merchants,
say of MazatIan, open negotiations with
the collector to ascertain the discount
which he viii permit upon the regular
tariff. As the duties upon each cargo
amount to from $3.50, 600 to 50, 900, 900,
the question becomes of considerable
importance to both parties. If the col
lector proves inconsiderate or obtuse,
and the vessels approach before the ne
gotiations are concluded, instructions
are sent to the captains to cruise in the
gulf and in the meantime the collector
at Guayn1as, or Acapulco, or San Bias,
is consulted, and if he proves more rea-
sonable, the cargoes are disembarked at
one of those ports, and afterward ship
ped on coasters to Mazatlan. Twenty,
thirty, or even forty per cent. has not
been considered an extraordinary dis
count in times past.
With such a profit to start upon-foI
the goods are always entered and cost
estimated upon full duty basis-and
with European capital at from five to
six per cent. per annum after the expi-
ration of the manufactures credits, it is
not surprising that they, in turn, sell Oh
liberal time eight months, or even 8
year, being readily accorded to reliable
| customers. Thus, many of these great
houses have from $500, 900 to 81, 200, OOC
out in bills receivable-a capital in it
self-upward of $1,000, 900 stock il
store, and as much more afoat Oi
| course, American manufactures can not
be introduced in the face of such com
petition and with such explanation, Il
will readily be understood how the
ports have been practically sealed
against American commercial enter
prise Overland Monthly.
