KILLING TIME.-People are incessantiy talk
ing of killing time, unmindful that it is time
shat kills them. Everything but actual, prac-
teal work they regard as o means to that ira
tional aud, in truth, impossible end. They
read, not for instruction, not for interest, not
for enjoyment even but, as they say, simply
tokili time. Without exercising discretion or
taste in what they read, they take anything
that 10 near at hand, provided they feel conf
dent that its perusal will require no mental
effort will preserve them from the need of
this sort-the more's the pity $50 many in
deed, thct 1t is harder to miss than to hit them.
But there is neither reason nor excuse for
making their acquaintance unless You are
literally suffering for some occupation, and
think any occupation better than none
There is neither virtue nor advantage
in reading unless your mind is sttma-
lated by what you read, and your memory re-
tain, at least q part of it. To read worthless
book is worse than wasting time since vast
ting time is negative, and such reading may
be positive harm.
The error of these would-be time.killers is
in their thinking. that works of any solidity,
scholarship or reputation are either q tax en-
the understanding, or extremely wearisome.
Ihey seem to forget that many of the best
books, best in every sense, are the most inter-
esting; that, If they once fairly began these,
q new and higher pleasure would be opened to
them, and they would leave off with ten times
as much reluctance as they had begun,
II they doubt this, let them try the expert
mont and be convinced. They will be certain |
TO find such a difference between good books |
and poor books that their appreciation of the
former will entirely cure them of their liking |
for the latter.
Even If killing time be the sole object, it is |
Just as easy to kill time to advantage as to |
aud, after q certain experience |
with able authors, be they philosophers, hlsto-
rians, poets or novelistS, they will come to
value time as altogether too precious to be
wasted. Nothing is more tedious than book
whose only purpose in being was to get itself
printed.

THE CosT OF LIyING.--yaluable Stats
tics In regard to the comparative cost of
living in America aud Europe are given in
the last Massachusetts, Labor report: cone
Boston, one or two pounds more in several
european seaports, but the same or con-
siderable less in the majority of the places
compared. In Boston one dollar will buy
555 pounds of fresh beef, roasting piece.
In no place in England will it buy so much
by pound or more, and in Europe still
less, Copenhagen being the only place
given where it will buy more. Butter in
Europe averages a pound more to the dol
lar than here, cheese less by more than
that, except in q few spots. AS for pota-
toes, they are cheaper here than in Eng
land, and dearer than in Ireland or Ger
many. Seven or eight pounds of pork for
q dollar are sold here, and not over half as
as much can be obtained for that sum in
England or Europe, and nowhere as much.
In rice, milk and eggs they have the advan-
tage OF u.s. Tea costs less here than in
England, but more than on the continent.
With coffee it is about the same, though the
difference is little. In sugar the British
are little better off, the Coutinentals q
good deal worse. Coal is cheaper here than
IN Germany, and dearer than in England. |
Merrimac or common prints are cheaper
here than anywhere in England or Europe |
Boots are about the same here as there, |
generally speaking. There are but two or
three places in England or the Continent
where brown sheetiDgs are cheaper than
here, while in brown sbirtings the foreign
ers are better off. Rent for four roomed
ienements is from two to foffE> times cheaper
han in Great Britain, and on the Cont
1ent than in Boston ; in Austria fifteen
times cheaper. Board also is from once and
halt to twice as cheap in Europe and
treat Britain as in Boston.

A SHARP SHEEP DoG.-The gentleman
who witnessed the event was~a short time
since on visit to Scotland, and during one
of his walks he came across some men who
were washing sheep. Close to the water
where the operations were being carried on
was small pen, in which a detachment of
ten sheep were placed handy to the men
for washing. While watching tue perform
ance his attention was called to a sheen dog
lying down close by. This animal, on the
pen becoming nearly empty, without a
word from, any one, started off to the main
body of she flock and brought back ten of
their number, and drove them into the
empty washing pens. The fact of the dog
bringing exactly the came number of sheep
as had vacated it he looked upon at first as
a strange coincidence-a mere chance.
But he continued looking on, and, m uch to
his surprise, as soon as the men had re-
duced the number to three sheep, the dog
started off again and brought back ten
more; and so be continued throughout the
afternoon, never bringing one more nor one |
ess, aud always going for fresh lot when |
'nl y three were left in the pen, evidently
being aware that during the time the last |
'hree were washing he would be able to |
BRING mp fresh detachment.-LanG.a and |

Letter From an Irish c..slist officer.

The following letter appeaIe in the London
Ercning Standard:
Sir Il trust to your impartiality to permit
me to make some observations in reference to
n letter "f your correspondent, published the
18th inst. In that letter read these words
and cruelty such as no gentleman or English
officer would venture to justify" have my
self been an officer in the English army, may
call myself gentleman. l certify that the
reprisals of General Doregaray are perfectly
justified by the laws of war. Considering the
inoendiarism of Abarzuza, of Zabal,. and of
would have failed in his duty if he had left
such acts unpublished.
Your correspondent forgets to say that on
the goth ultimo the Republicans shot thirteen
say that it is the humane troops of Madrid
who long since, set the example of execution
ofprisoners and myself, last year, when lay
wounded at Vidonia, only escaped that destiny
by q miracle.
As to Captain Schmidt, he was killed as a
spy, not as correspondent, the only paper
found ON him being passport delivered by
Concha, giving an order to pass freely through
the Republican lines to the German CAPTAIN
of Artillery Schmidt" All appearances were
against him, and accusations of espionage
against German subjects have been SO often
verified that his nationality could not plead in
his favor.

very unfortunate example of Republican hu- |
manity, for 1 am this Irish Volunteer" of
whom he speaks, lying wounded and covered
by the protection of the Red Cross.

French officer assassinated at my side, because
of his nationality.
Foreign officers know the fate that awaits
them should they fall into the Republican
hands, but I venture to believe that none of
them will cry like whipped dog, as did Capt |
Schmidt, German officer, correspondent and |
spy.

PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERING.

There is no heart however free and lightsoms,
But hath its bitterness;
No earthly hopes. however bright and bIthesome,
But ring Of emptiness.
The world is full Of suffering and sorrow,
or anguish and despair
It's brightest promises are of tomorrow,
Its mockeries everywhere.
Our weary hearts, with slow and sad pulsation,
Beat to the march of years,
Their days are given to toll without cessation,
Their gloomy night to tears.
But let us wait in patience and submission
The will of our great King
Remem boring this-al through our earthly mission,
Perfect through suffering.
Then cease, o foolish heart, cease thy repining,
The Master's hand above
Is.only purifying and refining
The Alchemist Is Love.
These tears and thrills of woe-theso great afllcions
Arc but the Christening rod
And they shall prove The heavenly bonedicuons,
The mercies Of our God.
What secmeth q dark and dreary vision
Unto our tear-dimmeI eyes,
Shall burst in glory into scenes elysian,
blooming paradise.
Then cease, o foolish heart thy repining;
Hopei lift thy dropping wing;
The plan is one of Gods alwise Designing
Perfect through suffering.

q Our weighas.o

Upon the average, boys at birth weigh
little more, and girls little less, than six
and half pounds. For the first nine years,
the two sexes continue nearly equal in
weight, but beyond that time males acquire
decided preponderance. Thus, young
men of twenty average about l43 pounds
each, while the young women of twenty
average 120 pounds. Men reach their
heaviest bulk at about thirty-five, when
they average about 152 pounds, but women
slowly increase in weight until fifty, when,
their average is about l28 pounds. Taking
men and women together, their weight at
full growth averages about twenty times as
heavy as they were on the first day of their
existence. Men range from lOS To DO
pounds, and women from IS pounds 10 207
pounds. The actual weight of human
nature, taking the average Of ages and con-
ditions, mobiles, clergy, thinkers, tsilors, maid
ems, boys, girls, and babies, all included, is
very nearly 100 pounds. These figures are
given in avoirdupois weight, but the advo-
Gates Of the superiority of women might
make nice point by introducing the rule
that women be weighed by troy weight
like other jewels, and men by avoirdupois.
The figures will then stand-young men OF
twenty, l43 pounds each young women of
twenty, about l40 pounds each, and 30 on.
