Scott md RuIMer.

Scott painted the external man; he
seldom troubled to seek for the motive
and the cue for passion" He did not
care to trace the subtle thought from its
germ until it stood forth thing. In
the novels of Lord Lytton the physical
man is ever subservient to the mental
the mind Of character is more promi-
nent than his actions. No two writers,
psychologically considered, were more
dissimilar than these two great masters,
to whom, as pioneers, prose fiction is
chiefly indebted for its overwhelmin (,
supremacy in the literature of the pres
ent day. The excellencies of the one
are the weaknesses of the other. Much
of this dissimilarity must be ascribed TO
the diverse influences under which they
began to write. Scott was forty years
old when his first novel appeared; Bul.
wer was in his teens. The former's s
more romantic vein of thought had al.
ready worked out in his poems. he was
a member of tho most anti-romantic Of
professions, a conservative in all things,
little influenced by the new school ofideas,
which had arisen out Of the chaos of the
French revolution; he was essentially a
man of the pre-revolutionary period, the
barriers of which he never seemed, intel
lectually, to have crossed. Bulwer was
the brilliant man of fashion-restless,
erratic, fond of straying out of the So
cial grooves into the wilderness of life;
now the cynosure of the drawing room,
now the solitary pedestrian, wandering

zerland, or the companion of horde Of
gypsies; an enthusiastic disciple of the
new prophets, imbued with the brilliant
radicalism of France, the mysticism and
metaphysics of Germany, and the sensu-
GUS, passion poetry of which Byron,
Shelley and Keats we're the high priests.
Scott half despsed the art of novel writ
ing. He wrote to satisfy no in
ward sense of artistic beauty-not
to embody the teeming forms of
q shadow haunted brain, but to build Alb
bottsford; he wrote that which would sell
best. On the other hand, Bulwer held
the art of the novelist second to none.
[Triting was to him necessity as strong
as s6eech-the outpourings of a soul
oyeraow:ug with passion that would have
utterance. No man was ever more eager
for distinction-yearned more for fame
and appreciation; yet to obtain them he
never departed from the ideal artistic
standard which he had fixed in his mind.
While Sir Walter Scott governed his lit
erary pursuits by the same law that OBJ
tains in commercial transactions, Lord
T,vttan-to Judge by several of his works
which were written under the full con-
viction that they would evoke storm of
hostile criticism-believed that art
should be amenable only to its own laws;
but to those laws he bowed submissively.
Thus each of his great works is like
some delicious strain of concerted music
in which the harmonies and counter
harmonies, the various instruments and
Inc opposing parts, blend in one deli
eious whole. Temple Bar.

An Italian professor has made sume

An Italian professor has made some
very agreeable medical researches. re-
sulting in the discovery that vegetable
perfumes exercise a positively heslthfal
influence on the atmosphere, converting
its oxygen into ozone, and thus increas'
ing It's oxidizing influence. The es-
sences found TO develop the largest
quantity Of ozone are those Of cherry.
laurel, cloves, lavender, mint, juniper,
lemons, fennel and bergamot; those that
give il in smaller quantities are anise,
nutmeg and thyme. The flowers Of the
narcissus hyacinth, mignonette, hello
trope and lily of the valley develop
ozone in closed vessels. Flowers desti-
tute Of perfume do not develop it, and
those which have but slight perfume de-
velop it only in small quantities. Rea-
soning from these facts. the professor
recommends the cultivation of flowers
in marshy districts, and in all places in
tested with animal emanations, on &C.
count Of the powerful oxidizing inau-
ence of ozone. The inhabitants Of such
regions should, he says, surround their
houses with beds of the most odorous
flowers.

Poeket Ealtion OF MON FIra.

A young parson Of the Universalist
faith, many years since, when the simon:
pure Universalism was preached, started
westward to attend a convention Of his
brethren in the faith. He took the pre-
caution to carry vial of cayenne in his
pocket to sprinkle his food with, as a
preventive Of fever and ague. The con-
vention met, and at dinner tall Hoosier
observed the parson as he seasoned his
meat, and addressed him thus:
stranger, I'll thank you for a little of
that ere red salt, for I'm kind O. curious
to try it."
Certainly" returned the parson, but
you will lind it rather powerful; be care
ful how you use it.
The Hoosier took the proffered vial
and feeling himself proof against any
quantity OF raw whisky, thought that he
could stand "red sal" with impunity,
and accordingly sprinlled a junk Of
beef rather bountifully with it, and forth
with introduced it into his capacious
mouth. 1t soon began to take held. He
shut his eyes, and his features began to
writhe, denoting very inharmonious
condition physically. Finally he could
stand it no longer. He opened his
mouth and screamed fire !"
Take drink of cold water from the
Jug" said the parson.
Will that put it out2" asked the mar
tyr, suiting the action to the word.
In short time the unfortunate man
began 10 recover and turning to the par
son, his eyes yet swimming with water,
exclaimed: 1JI
" Stranger, you call yourself Yer
salist, | believer
| do" mildly answered the parson.
Well, | want to know if you think
it consistent'with your belief to go about
with hell-fire in your breeches pockets2"

A correspondent, writing from London
to a Baptist paper, says. Another thing
which strikes an American as strange, is
the fact that all classes drink here. At

and pitchers Of ale we're on the table, and

How "Greenback '' paper is Made.

All the paper of the money issued by
the Government is manufactured on a
sixty-two inch Fourdrinier machine, at
the Glenn Mills, near Westchester, Pa.
Short pieces of red silk are mixed with
the pulp in the engine, and the finished
stuff is conducted to the wire without
passing through any screens, which
might retain the silk threads. By an ar
rangement above the wire cloth, shower
Of short pieces of fine blue silk thread is
dropped in streaks upon the paper while
it is being formed The upper side,
upon which the blue silk is dropped, is
the one used for the face of the notes,
and, from the manner in which the
threads are applied, must show them
more distinctly than the lower or the
reverse side, although they are embodied
deeply enough to remain fixed. The
mill is guarded by officials night and
day, to prevent the abstraction of any of
the paper. rn fIs IUV
