!" Sweet Innisfalleu. ~

The following is an extract from the last
Irish sketch by Miss Braddon, the distin-
guished authoress, who has been on tour
in Ireland -
We land at Innisfallen, once the home of
hear our homely guide refer to Montalem-
| bert's "Monks of the West" for his auth
| ority on the subject of it's ancient abbey, of
which but little remains. The records of
Innisfallen, he further informs us, are
lodged in the Bodlcian Library. Here, he
tells US, university men come to read, and
light fires and brew whiskey- punch, and
make themselves generally comfortable.
Never, perhaps, was there a filter spot for
lonely study or poetic musing-so fair a
scene that one would think only gentle
fancies would come to the dreamer. The
island is grove of venerable ash trees of
great size and surprising beauty. But the
lion, in the way of trees, is ii gigantic holly,
whose trunk is sixteen feet in circumfer-
ence, and which all travellers are taken to
sea holly which looks as if it bad been
growing since the beginning of time.
southey, wto sang the praises of the holly,
would have rejoiced in the Titanic girth
and vast spread of his kingly tree.
Very sweet lie the air of perfect peace
and soft silvan solitude which prevades
this. island of the lower lake. 1t is just
large enough to wander about on a balmy
summer Qay, TOO Smali LOT the possibility OF
fatigue-a paradise for picnic parties, like
the groves of laurel and holly and moss
green ferney banks besides the rushing
waters of Dinas. To the frivolous mind
these delicious scenes are apt to be sug-
gestive of lobster salad and claret soup,
careless talk and happy laughter, long idle
summer days, perhaps the click of club
mallets, gaily Ginning in the summer still
ness, the pop of champagne corks, and
whispering lovers beneath the feathery
ash -boughs. But it seems kind of de
secration to think of picnic parties amidst
these venerable groves of Innisfallen, in
this verdant shrine where learning flourish
ed when Ireland was young where those
monkish scholars, to whom we owe in SO
large a measure the preservation of classic
literature, unused over their manuscript
volumes through the clouded night of
mediaval ignorance, and boarded the trea-
sures of poetry and wisdom in their Sc
questered groves, far from that mail clad
world which had hardly learned it's alpha
bet. 1t is a spot where one would like to
spend many an August noon tide, reading
ones favorite poet or philosopher place
in which poetry would have its full flavor,
as it can hardly have in the busy world or
daily life, where every moment may bring
some common place Interruptions.

THE GIRL TO FIND.-The true girl has
to be sought after. She does not parade
herself in chow goods. She is not fashion
able. Generally she is not rich. But oh !!
what heart she has when you find her |!
so large, and pure, and womanly. When
you see it, you wonder if those snowy
things outside are women. If you gain
her love, your two thousands are millions.
She'll not ask you for a carriage or first
class house. She'll wear simple dresses,
and turn them when necessary, with no
vulgar magpi6cate to frown upon her econo
my. She'll keep every thing neat and nice
in your sky parlor, and give you such a
welcome when you come home that you'll
think your power higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends on q dollar, and as
tonish you with the new thought of how
little happiness depends on money. She'll
make you love home (if you don't you are
brute) and teach you how to pity, while
you scorn, poor, fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainiy tries to think
itself happy. Now, do not, l pray you.

Go, find the true woman, and you CAB.
Throw away that cigar, burn up that switch
cane, be sensible yourself, and seek your
wife in sensible way.

The Beauties Of Nature.

There is beauty everywhere. 1t is seen
IN the heavens, when studded with stars
that shed soft light over us. Here they
are clustered together in friendly groups /;
there like sentinels they seem to be Keep
ing solitary watch over those below. Bril-.
liant mysteries silently speaking to us OF
eternity. What little is known of them
only inspires the wish to know more.
How beautiful are clouds passing over
the silvery moon the mellow sunrise gild-
ing the mountain tops and the gorgeous
sunset with it's rich and ever-varying hues.
How beautiful is the rainbow, reminding
as of heavens own walls, built of dia-
monds, rubies and other precious stones.
Oh, how much care and wisdom are be-
slowed on everything in Nature, even In
the tiny flowers, some of which are of such
delicate beauty that the most indifferent
cannot do otherwise than admire them.
The forget me. not seems to speak to us IN
heavenly language, reminding us of those
who have passed away. Nature plants the
beautiful daisy above the ashes of the for
gotten dead; and simple though it is there
is enough wonder in it's structure to show
the hand of God. The rose aud the lily
are the two most beautiful flowers in the
world
What regal vestments with them compare 7
What king SO shining. or what queen so fair ~
Even the moss that grows unnoticed is as
perfect il it's grace and loveliness as the
foliage of the giant forest-tree in its differ
ent shapes and colors-
Joy smiles in the fountain health flows in the ri
And the ribbons Of silver unwind from the hill"
The little rivulet has it's source in the
mountain, and trickling down through
messy banks, and where wild flowers
bloom, sparkles brightly in the sunlight.
No place can be lonely where its music is
heard, as it hastens on tojOin other streams,
which together form the river sweeping on
ward to the mighty ocean.

GERMAN EMIGRATIoN.-It appears from sta
tistics recently published that the emigration
from Hamburg and Bremen during the last
five years has amounted to 100000 persons
yearly. In the more thinly peopled districts
of Prussia serious disadvantages have arisen
from this exodus of the people, and the atten-
ton of the Government has been called to it..
Amongst the causes to which it is attributed
are the great increase in the number of emf
grafton agents in all parts of the Empire; the
disinclination of young men to serve in the
army; the improvements which have been
made in the course of the last ten years in the
means of communication between the interior
and the seaports the comparative comfort
and cheapness of the voyage to transatlantic
countries; and the knowledge of the fact that
greater protection, advice and assistance now
than formerly are afforded by the emigration
barkation. The English Consul at Hamburg,
writing on the subject, says there has been
general improvement in the condition of the
operative and agricultural classes in Germany;
but the emigration goes on increasing, and the
proportion of emigrants who are forwarded by
way of England is also at an augmented ratio
from year to year.

One of the hardest lessons in life for
young people to learn is to practice econo-
my. 1t is a harder duty for young man
to accumulate and save his first thousand
dollars than the next ten thousand. A man
can be economical without being mean,
it is one of his most solemn duties to lay
up sufficient in his days of strength and
prosperity to provide for himself and those
who are or may be dependent on him in
days of sickness or misfortune. Extrava-
gance is one of the greatest evils of the
present age. 1t is undermining and over
turning the ofSiest and best principles that
should he attained and held sacred in So
cety. 1t is annually sending thousands of
young men and young women to ruin and
misfortune. Cultivate, then, sober aud
industrious habits acquire the art of put
ting little aside every day for future ne
cessties avoid all unnecessary and fool
sh expenditures. Speud yonr time only
in such a manner as shall bring you profit
and enjoyment, and your money only for
such things as you actually need for your
comfort and happiness, and You will pros
per in your lives, your business. and you
will win and retain the respect and honor
of all worthy and substantial people.

Cost Of War.
London Tablet.

The enormous costliness of war in these
days must no doubt operate in the same
direction. A Government must feel very
confident of success before it voluntarily
incurs the risk of losses such as those which
France has had to endure, losses which to
q country of less elastic resources would
be equivalent to absolute ruin. The report
of Lord Lytton, our Secretary of Embassy
at Paris, on the economic and financial con-
dition of France, furnishes some startling
figures. 1t is thus summarized by the
Daily Telegraph: "The war bill represents,
including everything, total of some four
hundred millions added to the permanent
burdens of the country, or more than half
the total of our own debt. Two of her
richest provinces have been cut away, SO
that this great load had to be taken up by
a diminished national strength. The ac-
tual war-a campaign of some seven
months only-cost in extra expenditure
more than eighty millions, and, had France
got off with no other loss, would have
formed serious addition to her dead
weight. But a new load like that which
she has actually undertaken is something
not only unprecedented, but almost incon
ceivable. For some time-until the sixty
millions borrowed from the Bank of Fran ce
is paid back-nearly fifty millions annually
will be absorbed in the payment of the
charges upon the debt of the nation, now
representing a total of more than 900 mil
lions, and this sum France has pledged her.
self to provide, while at the same time re-
taxing none of her efforts to continue a
great military power, and to prepare herself,
if not for making, at least for effectually
resisting, another attack. The army esti-
mates for 1874 are over eighteen millions,
and both these and those for the navy of
six millions are expected to be higher rath
er than lower in coming years." The an
nual expenditure of France is thus raised
more than l0l millions, representing taxa
ton of about 60 head. If Germany had
been worsted could she have borne such
burden9 and will any nation lightly run
the chance of being saddled with such an
other by the fortunes of seven months
campaign

The practical value of the balloon has lust
been established. The American people sup
posed, fcom the grand transatlantic Graphic
fraud, that the maximum value as an adyer-
! Using medium and patent catch-penny had
been fixed. But we find it's usefulness clearly
set forth in a recent voyage undertaken by
Donaldson, under the management of Barnum.
The excursion carried up six ladies. When at
the height of over two miles one of the ladies,
with customary feminine ignorance on scienti-
fc matters, cut the rope which held a sand
bag, and let it drop in mass. Whether it fell
upon and killed any body, mashed in a roof, or
otherwise inflicted injury, is not known, but
the balloon darted up to nearly another mile
and made the ears of the passeng gers buzz as
the atmospheric pressure was reduced. 1t is
not surprising that Donaldson immed lately de-
seconded and rid himself of the charmer, allow
ing only the daughter of Prof Wise and few
journalists to remain. To these privileged few
the @ronaut unfolded the beauties of Srial
navigation. Having perfect control of the
balloon, he Owed in and out of orchards and
cornfelds, stealing pears and apples, plucking
fresh Germ, and qualifying himself for the
police court with delicious freedom, The ma
tural tendency of the balloon, or of Donaldson,
is for apples. The Graphic balloon was Judi
ciously landed in q Connecticut orchard before
it could reach the sea. 1t shares the proclivity
of the school-boy.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC VEssELs.-A writer
in NauaI Science expresses the opinion that
the day is not very far distant when, hav-
ing travelled through the intermediate i'm
provements in the steam engine ITSELF we
shall cast it aside as altogether too cum
brous and complicated, and traverse the
ocean in vessels propelled by a motive
power which, while occupying a compar-
atively Insignificant space, will yet be
strong enough to drive at speed hitherto
uninterrupted.
This opinion has been called forth by
the attempts lately made in England to
propel a small yatch by electro magnetism.
In this arrangement, the vessel was fitted
with an ordinary screw propeller, the shaft
being continued forward to an engine
room nearly amidships, in this engine room
being fitted the prime motion shaft, dis
posed horizontally parallel to the screw
shafr, motion being transmitted by pitch
chain and wheels. Upon the prime-mo-
ton shaft we're carried three cast-iron
wheels, each containing seven armatures,
that is, cast-iron projections, each arna-
ture being set in advance of the cores
pondiDg one of the set next on the shaft.
These were acted upon by wrought iron
electro magnets placed underneath, and
surrounded by wires connected to battery
situated in the engine room, in conve-
nient manner.
Contact was made and broken by short
levers worked 10y cams on the prime
shaft /; these cams, being placed at a suit
able angle on tue shaft in relation to the ar
natures, the electro magnets were alter
nately in a state of vivid action and
neutrality, according to the position Of

while, on the contrary, that of the latter,
slowly, clumsily and heavily EDWARDS,
like the ponderous and unwieldy elephant.
He finds it difficult to give utterance to his
thoughts, which rush forward to the portals
Of his mouth in such crowds, that they, in
fact, block it up. Whenever you meet
with q man of this kind, give him time,
and do not mistake his tedious hardness
for ignorance or imbecility of mind. In
nine cases out of ten he has lived in soli-
tude, and because he has not been habitu-
ated to conversation, his tongue grows so
rusty that, when he does venture into
society, no one will wait till he is drawn
out, and therefore his reserve continues to
increase. Do not CONTEMPORARY turn
your back upon him, bat listen, and he
will, in all likelihood, repay your civility
with interest. The eagle is solitary bird,
and his voice may be harsh, but still he is
an eagle, nevertheless. Do not imagine
that he is dead or asleep, but be more at
tentive to nature. The gun is silent until
it's note is one of triumph the tigers fatal
spring and terrific roars are simultaneous ::
the volcano is silent before an eruption |;
and all nature seems dead before the tor.
nado and the earthquake. Nature employs
silence to concentrate her energies, that
the effect may be more appalling and cub
lime. AS iron, by long exposure to the
action of fresh water, has rusty exterior,
but is inwardly improved in quality, so
the rust of the reserved man is only SUPER
fetal, while his ideas, over which the stream
of time has passed, are susceptible of
higher polish, and sink more forcibly into
the mind of his nearer. The diamond is a
rough, dull stone when first brought from
it's rocky bed, yet it receives from the lap
idary brilliancy almost capable of dis
polling the gloom of night.

GRANT ON THE CIVIL RIGHrs BILL.-The
President to-day, in an interview with
Senator Spencer, of Alabama, and Repre-

irritation, to these gentlemen, that he
thought they had acted injudiciously, and
bad the civil rights bill passed at tile last
session of Congress he would have vetoed
it. General Grant further said that he
thought the Southern Republicans had
made a great mistake in forcing the issue
upon this bill at this time. 1t was alto.

pass at the next session he would not veto

WONDERFUL CURE BY THE WATERS OF
LoURpEs.-A daughter of MI P. Hughes
Zone of the leading merchants of Toronto,
Ont.) and grandchild of Mr.. Patrick DON
ahoe, proprietor of the Pilot, has from 10
fancy been affected with what is called
"white swelling" in one of her knees. The
child, now in her thirteenth year, has al
ways had to walk with crutches and
though her father has consulted the best
medical skill in her behalf, the disease
beffled all curative attempts. Novenas
have been said, Masses offered up, and
everything possible had been done for the
little sufferer. But all to no purpose. At
length her father was prevailed upon by
Mr.. Donahoe to take her to the grotto of
Lourdes. He arrived at Lourdes on the
18th OF August, proceeded To the Shriue
of Our Lady, at once placed his daughter
in the fountain of the grotto, and in few
minutes she exclaimed to her father,-"I
am cured !" In a letter to Mr.. Donahoe,
dated Lourdes, 3lst of August, Mr.. Hughes
says :-"You can judge of my astonish-
ment when beheld my child walk with
out her crutches." The crutches were left
at the grotto as testimony of the wonder

happy child are now on their way home
