Rome and Naples Contrasted.

What a contrast between the cam
! pHgna of Naples and the oampagna of
home In the one is unity, ana 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 psalmody 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 it be-
tween city and city! Let the sworn
enemies of pontifcal Rome say what
they will, it appeared to me, when COM
pared with Naples, a severe, a most
severe city. At least there reign in
Rome sadness and silence. It's inhabi-
tants seem to look upon darkness. Their
faces have q certain solemn sadness, like
that Of a sovereign, but of a dethroned
race. The innumerable 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 people sub
missive to theocracy while the cries in
the streets of Naples, the contiHual vo-
alterations, the gay groups standing
around, the universal gayety, the dances
on one side, the open-air concerts on
the other, the concourse of people to
the water-stalls and cafes, show you are
in 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 To .worship is necessity |
for the Neapolitans, to worship fervent-
ly whatever be the object of their adora-
tion; to worship devotedly among
blows and Outcries, with huzzas and
shouting; with all the exaItation COM
mon to highly-nervous temperaments,
and with the fanaticism which accom-
panies the excitement of southern pas
Bions kindled by the intense heat of the
climate. There is something of Vesu-
vius, something of its burning fires,
of its eruptions, something
also of its changeableness in the tickle
and ardent nature Of the Neapolitans-
Of those degenerate Greeks who dwell
always with a smile upon their lips
upon the borders of death threatened
by their volcano with doom similar to
that which buried the cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum. .-Eneilio CASTELAR,.

THE REALMS OF LONG AGO.

me day, with its sandals dipped In dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gatcs,
AID single star in the cloudless 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
mat winds along with a.lullnE flow,
ana either awake or half in dream,
i pass through the realms Of Long ago,
While faces peer with many a gmile Ea c.
FROM the bowers Of Memory's magical isle.
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and tears,
That check the path If life's april hours.
And longing wish for the coming years
Ihat hope ever wreaths with fairest flowers
There are friendships guileess--love as bright
And pure az the stars in the halls Of night.
There are asheu memories bitter pain,
And buried hopes and broken vow,
AND an aching heart by the restless main,
And the sea breeze tanning palEid brow
And wanderer on the shell-lined shore
fastening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire TO stand in the van
OF the 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,
Thet are loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze
And We mourn for the pressure Of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in esrth's 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 a mingled lay,
When to memory's wildhood we wander away

Gable Receipts.

The journal Of the telegraph publl-
shes a table showing the average daily
receipt of the anglo-American, French
Atlantic and Newfoundland telegraph :,
companies, under the various tariffs,
from the beginning of the operation
Of the first cable, July %, 1865, 30 Au-
gust /, 1873, and says: "Fvery reduc- Il
tion of the rates from $1O0. for twenty
words, to $16 ST for ten words, was fol-
lowed by an increase inthe number OF
messages sent sufficient to maintain and
even slightly augment the receipts. i
The decrease to $40, however, was fol- =
lowed by loss Of twenty-three per cent. :.
in receipts, while further reduction to
81 50 coupled with the increase in the
traffic, caused by the war between )
France and Germany, was followeil by
an increase of 100 per cent. in the NUM-
Der of messages and fifty-one per cent
in the receipts. Owing to the breaking Z
of two of the cables in the autumn OF ,
1870, the tariff was increased to $15, in !,
order to reduce the traffic and enable it ,
to be carried over the remaining eable,I !
md resulted in decrease Of seventeen !
per cent. in the number Of messages,
and an increase of ffty-seven per cent.
in the receipts. In the summer Of 1871
the broken cables were repaired, and
the tariff reduced to SO per message,
causing an increase Of thirty-three per
cent. in the number Of messages and a
decrease of six per cent. in the receipts.
In May, 1872, the rate was made 81 per
word, irrespective Of the number OF
words sent, and was followed by'an5it-
crease of about thirty per cent. in the
number Of messages, and of sixteen per
cent. in the receipts Two OF the'cables
were broken in the spring Of 1873, when
the rate was increased to 81 50per wordys
and resulted in reducing the number Of
messages to nine per cent, and in.
the receipts twenty--th per,
cent. One of the cables having been.
repaired, and new one.
laid, the tariff was again reduced TO
81 per word, causing decrease of thirty.
four per cent, in the receipts, The re-.
cepts in 1872 we're larger than in any
previous year, and the companies paid
dividends of twelve per CENT, but The.
serious breakages since have demon
strated that the dividends should have
been less, and q larger sum put TORE
serve.

Evil Of Interruption in Intellectual
....' Work,

Few people realize the full evil of an
Interruption. few people know all that
rs implied by it. Florence Nightingale
says: eff we consider as with sick as
with well, every thought 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 q new exertion, we shall remem-
Der that we are doing positive injury by
interrupting. If the invalid is forced
by his avocations to continue occupa-
tions reqiring much thinking, the injury
is doubly great. If you offer the brain
q thought, especially one requiring a
decision, abruptly, you do it a real, not
fanciful injury. This rule applies to
the well quite as much as to the sick. I
have never known persons who exposed
themselves for years to constant inter
ruption who did not muddle away their
intellects by it at last. The process,
with them, may be accomplished with
out pain. With the sick, pain gives
warning of the injury" interruption
is an evil to the reader which must be esti-
mated very differently from ordinary
business Interruptions. The great ques-
ton 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
diapason. Suppose a reader perfectly
absorbed in 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 a 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 be able to get to the end of the pas
sage without in some way or other being |
rudely awakened from your dream, and
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 an interruption is merely the
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 War Shin of the Future.

The London Times has the following:
'The preparation of designs for the
war ships of the future is making con-
siderable progress, and the application
of the science of hydraulic to the art of
gunnery will in these designs receive
considerable development, and prove in
practice of very great assistance in IA
cilitating the working and loading the
monster weapons with which the turrets
of the iron-clads will be armed. These
guns will far surpass the most powerful
artillery at present in existenoe-the
Woolwich Infants, of thirty-five tons
weight, and bore of twelve inches in
diameter, and the great guns which
Krupp is now making for the Germans
being alike eelipsed by the new weapon,
which will have a bore Of nearly fifteen
inches, and weigh sixty IONS. These
guns will be built upon the system
which originated and has now been in
such successful operation at the Royal
gun factories, Royal arsenal, Woolwich,
for several years-by coil upon coil of
wrought iron and steel tube; system
which insures the greatest possible
strength and immunity from danger of
bursting, and practically imposes no
limit to the size of the guns. They
will be fitted with a movable breech-
loading arrangement. The Woolwich
Infant will throw q 7O0-pound shot six
or seven miles; the new gun viii hTrl a
proiectile weighing ], 100 pounds, half
ton, over a range which has yet to be
determined. AS the antithesis of this
enormous gun, they new steel msuntain
gun has just been placed in the model
room of the Royal gun factories. This
gun weighs 200 pounds, but it can fire a
shell of seven pounds with good effect
mp to 5000 yards, and with its little
carriage is designed to be conveyed on
the backs of mules, for which pack
saddles are specially constructed. 1t is
also admirably adapted for boat ser
vice.

Wedded Bliss.
From the Danbury News. ]

You know her. She lives on your
street. Her features are either pinched,
or full and frowsy. Her dress is wet,
i'll fitting and of no particuler pattern
her slippers are broken down; her hair
is uncombed; her voice is either shrill
or coarse. You have seen her stand out
in the back yard, and put bare arm up
to her eyes, and under it peep out to the
fence or barn, where man in an i'll
fitting coat is searching for something,
and have heard her shout: "John,
can't George bring me some water?"
And you have heard him cry back: {" If
he don't get that water I will take every
inch of flesh from his bones!" And
when you have looked at her again does
it seem possible that those angry eyes
have dropped in maidenly reserve, or
raised in coquetish light to the face of
the man in the i'll fitting coat? Can
you, by any possible wrench of the
imagination, conceive of his tenderly
passing peppermints to her, of his TAX
ing that hand in his and bsshfully
squeezing it? But it was so. Many
"God bless you" has been uttered above
that bare head; many kiss pressed on
that uncombed hair. The tightly COM
pressed lips have lovingly framed ten
der invitations to him to take another
bite of cake and pickle. The hands
that are now par-boiled aud blistered
and marked with scars from the bread
knife, and scratches from the last setting
hen, were once twined lovingly about
his neck, and the nose which is now
peaked and led, and looks as if it would
stand on it's hind legs and scream with
rage, once followed the figures of his
vest pattern, or bore heavily against his
jugular vein. AS little probable as this
seems to you, it seems less to her. She
has forgotten it. She won't hear it
talked of by others. She cannot bear
to see it acted by others. Two lovers
are to her ga parcel of fools. (" And
George is rubbing his head, and we turn
aside while our heroine readiusts her
slipper. t- E

Queer Things About Bees.


The poppy-bee makes her nest in
the ground, burrowing down about
three inches. At the bottom, she
makes large, round hole, and lines
it splendly with the scarlet leaves of
thespoppy. She cuts and fits the pret-
ty tapestry, tin it is thick and soft and
warm, then partly Ellis the cell with
honey, lays an egg, folds down the red
blankets, and closes up the hole, SO
it cannot be distinguished aad there in
It's rosy cradle, with food to eat, and
safe nook to rest in, she leaves her
baby-bee to take care Of itself. The
leaf-cutting bee makes her cell Of green
leaves, shaping them like thimbles.
These little jars she half fills with
rose oolored paste of honey and pollen
from thistles, lays her eggs, and covers
the pots with round 1eaf-ids, that fit it
exactly. The mason bee makes her
nest Of mud or mortar. It looks like o
bit of dirt sticking to wall, but has
little cells within. The mother bee
does all the work, sticking little grains
Of sand and earth together with her
glue.

The Power of a Locomotive.

When the first locomotive was pat
ented, driving only one car, if lightly
loaded, II did very we'll; but when the
load il drew was heavier than it's own
weight, it's wheels would not bite, that
is, they would turn rou ID and round
without advancing. Hence q cow-catcher
was needed Behind to guard against eat,
tie running into it in therear. Ttseemed
at first impossible to make less weight
move o greater ON an up grade; and for
some years no one invented an engine
able to draw three times its own weight,
At the present day, however, locomo-
tives 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.
It was found, that an engine powerless
to stir five times its weight of freight
when concentrated in one car, could
readily draw ii when distributed in a
dozen cars loosely shackled together. II
was heavier than each single car and
it had overcome the inertia of each
one monument before It encoun-
tered the inertia Of another. 1t was
thus more than q match for each Car
taken singly; and, pulling them sue
oessively, it drew after it train as long
as a comet. and the farther it ran Che
more strength il had 10 run further.
Here vac the story Of little David over
again. Ordinarily, the stripling's weight,
as he told Goliah, was enc hundred and
twenty, but whenever he got mad he
weighed ton. Moreover, the engine
forced the momentum acquired by eT-
cry car IL had started, 20 swell It's own
potency in overcoming the resistance of
all that remained still notionless.
HoUaHroN has this new story of sgd
ney Smith: He was good-natured and
tolerants but when Lord. Melbourne,
whom he had gone to see upon some
business, interIardea his conversation
with much cursing and swearing, he
qaietly remarked, Let Us assume that
everybody and everything are damned, |
and proceed 10 the subject 2
To THrsk Whist We do not feel, Il 70
lie TO ourselves.
