Labor Only Produces
Wealth. -.7

In ono Of the central towns OF
Ohio, during the late campaign, Sen.
ator Thurman expressed these senti.
monts upon tho value aud effects OF
labor:
There can be no production OF
wealth IN country except by In bor.
There is no way under tho sun known
to man by which one single dollar
can be added to the wealth OF any
country except by labor. This is q
principle that every political cnon.
om,s. recognizes. II is the funda-
mental principle Of political econ
omy. A dozen men in this beautiful
town OF yours may speculate with
each other the whole year round, and
some OF them may grow rich out OF
their specula,ions and the others may
become impoverished, but they do
not add ono single dollar TO tho
wealth CT the country. A man may
be great capitals: and live on tho
interest he draws from his capital
and on that alone, and do nothing
whatever OF manual or intellectual
labor, and he may grow rich day by
day, but he adds not on" cent 70 ,ht
wealth OF tho country No, N,

An bLD FANCY.

There's q a. lint old Scottish fancy
That l req not long ago
In bo,k o oegends olden,
And il md te true, know,
As, | think 70 many fancies
Old, aud. ange and very sweet
That We cod as fancirs only,
Or poeta QUAINT concert.
When soG i going heavenward--
AZ ii lingfs, 10th to 60.
Then the ea1grows deaf to discord
That has jsteed upon it so,
And the dyksg hear the music
That is made by wind and stream,
Mingling wi d celestial voices,
And to disis like dream.
Then. sol the Scottish legend,
When ah* 81. .lf earth Is come.
And the ear to earthly tumul,s
Has forevermore grown dumb;
Then they bear the dying gently
Out among III, flowers and grass,
Where the summer wind is singing
Like frair chanting mass.
And he hears the brooks low music,
And The voices OF the trees,
And the whispers Of the flowers,
ANA the murmur Of the breeze;
And the voices of the angels
Blend with these, until it seems
That they steep the dying senses
In the Lotus wine Of dreams.
1t is not tender fancy!
When the end is drawing near,
And the love of those Eho miss me
Cannot longer keep me here,
Bear me out among the voice
Ihave known and loved so we'll,
And the tabled pain Of dying
Shall be ba mis- he'd by their spell.

Significance of the Fingers.

Each finger, and the mount at the base
of it, is named from planet. In the nor
NAL hand the second finger is the longest,
the third the next longest, the first nearly
as long as the third, and much longer than
the fourth or little finger. Jupiter is the
first finger. II it be long and not ill-shap-
en-, and if the mount at its base be well
developed, it indicates a noble and lofty
character, and a religious-minded person.
If disproportiouatcly long, twill mean diff
fcrent things according to the type of hand
in which it may be found, or according to
the type Of that particular finger; ia the
first type, an over-long first finger would
denote an inclination to the fantastic or
the exaggerated in religious matters; or it
might, perhaps, mean religious madness !;
or, if other signs in the hand favored this
view, it could be taken TO denote pride.
Pride is form Of worship--the culture of
self. In the second type Of hand, the ex-
cessiye development of Jupiter might mean
ambition, or, if it were in hand that was
cminently unselfsh, it would stand for a
something puritanical in manners and
morals--a too great severity. In the third
type, a very long first finger would proba.
bly, signify vanity. The second finger is
Saturn. If too prominent Ii announces
melancholy, or misanthrophy, or downright
cruelty, according to the type of hand; but
if the finger be within due proportion, this
sadness may take the form Of pity for 9th.
ers, or It may mean merely becoming
gravity. The third finger is Apollo, aud
belongs to the arts. In 'pointcd" hand
Apollo will give poetry and music compost
ton; in square hand, painting, sculpture
(here art leaves the domain Of the purely
contemplatiye; il becomes partly active
from the combination Of manual skillwilh
what is only imaginative;) and in spade
shaped hand Apollo will give histrionic
power, an aptitude for acting, or love of
theatrical amusemcuts Ga the stage art
is joined in the closest manner to motion.
The fourth finger Is Mercury. If well
proportioned it promises a scientific turn
Of mind, resourcefulness and diplomacy
tact. The thumb is Venus. Chirognom-
ony and palmistry agree in almcst all par
ticulars about the thumb. In both sys-
tens Il is treated as the most iinportans
part Of the hand. The upper joint, tha.
with the nail, stands for the viii; the sec
ond division, the reaoyning faculties the
base, the animal instincts Isl. Paufs

REMARKABLE LAKES. --0n the top Of
a ridge Of mountains in Portugal, called
Estralla, are two lakes Of great extent and
depth, especially one of them, which is said
to be unfathomable. What Is chiefly re-
markable in them is, that they are calm
when the sea is 50, aud rough when that
is stormy. It b, therefore, probable that
they have subtcrranean communication
with the ocean; and this seems to be con-
firmed by the pieces of ships they throw
up, though almost forty miles from the sea-
There Is another extraordinary lake in
that country, which, before Storm is said
to make frightful rumbling noise, this
may be heard at a distance Of several
miles. And we are also told Of pool or
fouhtain, called Ferycncias, about twenty
four miles from Coimbra, that absorbs not
only wood, but the lightest bodies thrown
into it, such as cork, straw, feathers, ETC.,
which sink 70 the bottom and are never
seen more. To these We may add re-
niarkable spring near Estremes, which pet
rifles wood, or rather cncrusts il with case
Of stone but the most remarkable circum-
stance is, that in summer il throws up wa
