Low WATER IN THE RIVER SEISE.-Nessrs Bel
grand and LemOine predicted nearly four months
an dvance an approaching stage of yery low water
in the River Seine which will probably about
the middle of next October. In making this predie

months should be quite rainy yet will the flow of
water not be sufficiently great to disprOve the truth
of their prediction Ii has been established in fact,
that the rains Of the months are but slightly If
at ALL useful regulatin the flow ofthe ryer waters
because of the large evaporation which carries of
the greater portion of the rainfall. Their own OBJ
servations have. in addition. shown that whenever
toward the end of May the head waters of the Seine
have been very low this deficiency is made up
until after the middle of October. The records of
the past 10 years show that the stage of highest
water has varied in the Springtme, between Feb
ruary and March, and. in general the relations of
the riYer-nOw to the surrounding country are such
that while they cannot attempt 90 predict anything

The VagabOnd Sage.

An old man of very active physlog-
nomy, answering to the name of Jacob
Wilmot, was brought to the police
court. His clothes looked as if they
might have been bought second hand
in his youthful prime, for they had
suffered more from the rubs of the
world than the proprietor himself.
"What business ?"
"None; I'm traveller"
ga vagabond, perhaps ?"
'You are not far wrong. Travellers
and vagabonds are about the same
thing. The difference is that the latter
travels without money and the former
without brains"
"Where have You travelled p
"All over the Continent.
"For what purpose?"
Observation"
''What have you observed ?"
ga little to commend, much to GEN.
sure, and a great deal to laugh at.
"Humph what do you commend ?"
ga handsome woman who will stay at
home, an eloquent preacher VINO will
preach short sermons, a good writer
who will not write too much, and fool
who has sense enough to hold his
tongue"
"What do you censure ?"
ga man that marries girl for her
fine clothing, a youth who studies med
icine while he has the use of his hands,
and the people who will elect drunk
ard to office"
"What do you laugh at ?"
81 laugh at man who expects his
position to command that respect which
his personal qualifications and qualities
do not merit"
He was dismissed.

Cenfers or The Universe.


The faculty that some people have
of making themselves, to all intents
and purposes, the center of the uni
verse is thing which covet every
day of my life. OF course great many
people really believe that they are these
centers, or that center-but it is the
select few who really compel every one
else to believe it, whom / envy. 1t
must be a glorious consciousness.
Such sense of largeness such Popish
pride, without the slightest tinge of
any of the Pope's personal humility.
To think of bringing the whole realm
of literature, art, religion to the test of
ones self To think of going to heax a
new oratorio. not for the mere vulgar
purpose of enjoying it but in order to
"see how you will like it."
To be sure, passing from one such
center to another among your friends
is apt to create an element of confusion,
something like that supposed by War
ner to be produced in the minds OF
those who dwell by certain river in
the provinces, which first runs one way
and then another, and then vanishes al
together. Monthly.

A Nice Girl.

Though that class is by no means e1-
tinct, still they are not so numerous as
might be wished. There is nothing
half so sweet in life, half so beautiful
or delightful or so loveable as a nice
girl. Not pretty or a dashing girl,
but nice girl. One of those lovely,
lively, good natured, sweet-faced amia
ole, neat, natty, domestic creatures
met within the sphere of "home," diff
fusing around the influence of her
goodness, like the essence of sweet
flowers.
A nice girl is not the languishing
beauty, dawdling on q sofa, and dis
cussing the last novel or opera, or the
giraffe-like creature sweeping maiesti-
cally through the drawing groom. The
nice girl may not even play or dance
well, and knows nothing about using
her eyes or coquetting with fan. She
rever languishes, she is too active.
She is not given to sensation novels,
she is too busy. In public she is not
in front showing her shoulders she
sits quiet and unobtrusive at the back
of the crowd most likely. In fact it is
not often We discover her. Home is
her place.
Who rises betimes and superintends
the morning meal? Who makes the
toast and the tea, and buttons the boys
shirts, and feeds the chickens, and
brightens up the parlor and sitting
room. Is it the languisher or the gi-
raffe, or the ''elegaRte," not bit of it
it's the nice girl.
Her maiden toilet is made in the
shortest possible time, yet how char
mingly it is done and how elegant and
neat her dress and collar Not pre-
senting her cheek or brow like a ''fne
girl but an audible smack which says
plainly 81 love you ever SO much" If
you covet anything it's one of the nice
girls kisses.
Breakfast over, down i'll the kitchen
to see about dinner, and all day long
she is up and down, always cheerful
and light hearted. She never ceases to
be active and useful until day is gone,
when she will polka with the boys or
read. sing old songs and play old tunes
to her father or mother for hours to-
gether she is perfect treasure is the
nice girl. When sickness comes it is
she who attends with unwearying
patience in the sick chamber. There
is no risk, no fatigue that she will not
undergo; no sacrifice that she will not
make. She is all love, all devotion. l
have often thought it would be happi-
ness to be i'll to be watched by such
loving eyes, and tended by such fair
hand.
One of the most strongly marked
characteristics of ''nice girl is tidi-
ness and simplicity of dress. She is in
variably associated in my mind with
high frock, plain collar, and the neat
est of nice ribbons, bound with the most
modest little brooch in the world. l
never knew mice girl" who displayed
a profussOn of rings and bracelets, or
who wore low-dresses or a splendid
bonnet.
say again, there is nothing in the
world half so beautiful half so intrinsi-
cally good as mice girl" She is the
sweetest flower in the path of life
There are others far more stately, far
more gorgeous, but these We merely
admire as we go by. 1t is where the
daisy grows that we like to rest.

4 "Sun. Machine.

Mr.. Ct. A. Bergh, in PoqgendOrf'
Annalen. writes on the application of
solar heat as a motor force, and con-
tends that from the present standpoint
of science it is possible to construct
constantly-working sun-machine. He
says: "That the heat of the sun may
be transformed into mechanical force
no one can doubt for we see daily
what masses of water solar heat raises
into the air, to be again precipitated to
the earth, and We know what an enor-
nous mechanical force is here repre-
sented. Further, we know that solar
heat Is the cause of motions of the
atmosphere that plants under its in
fuence form out of the carbonic acid of
the air an organic substance richer in
carbon; that plants which grew in
earlier times, under the influence of
sun heat, were transformed into coal
and peat, whose combustion now yields
heat to drive our engines, which is
simply the solar heat returned. 1t is
known that the arrangement of ma
chimes, which serve for the transforma-
ton of heat into mechanical work, rests
on the principle that a liquid or gaseous
substance, acted on by the heat, under
goes a molecular change, through
which a certain mechanical force is de-
veioped. Hence, if we had liquid
which, at ordinary temperature, be-
haved like water at high temperature,
this liquid would be a suitable means
of motion for a sun machine. There
are several such liquids, G. g., sulphur
Gus acid, methylic chloride, methylic
ether, etc. OF all these, sulphurous
acid best deserves attention, as it has
several useful properties for the end in
view. Conceive a vessel, filled with
sulphurous acid, exposed to the suns
rays the tension of the sulphurous
acid vapor, if the temperature of this
vessel exceeds that of the surrounding
air by at least 10o to 20o, must be from
one to three atmospheres higher than
that of the sulphurous acid vapor in
another vessel similarly filled with sui
phurous acid but which has only the
temperature of the surrounding air.
We can thus arrange an engine which
agrees in principle with the steam
engine with merely this difference, that
the water is replaced by sulphurous
acid, and the fuel by the solar heat /;
while the vessel exposed to the suns
rays represent the boiler.

Miscellany.
BOarding-HOuse Lie.

Let me briefly sketch the boarding
house life of gentleman and wife,"
They occupy one room, which contains
bed, bureau, few chairs, perhaps
lounge. a shabby carpet and a few
cheap pictures. At about eight O'Clock
they come down to breakfast and join
eighteen or twenty others who are
squeezed so close at table that they can
hardly move their elbows. After break
fast the husband goes down to bust
ness. and the wife sets about killing
time. She begins with the morning pa
per, which is soon thrown aside if it
does not contain a column or two about
some scandal or the fashions. She
then goes into some other woman's
room, or the other woman goes into
hers, and the two sit there and talk
about everybody till the bell rings for
lunch. 1t is now the beginning of the
afternoon. If the weather is fine, she
dresses and goes out, perhaps to mat
inee. perhaps to visit friend in some
other boarding house, but more probs-
bly, to saunter along the principal
streets of the city, and examine
the latest fashions, see who among
her acquaintances are out and what
they wear, and make the clerks dance
around and show everything that she
doesn't want. If the weather is not fine
she stays in the house. gosslps, and
reads novels. Supposing her to have
been out, she has fund of chat about
dry-goods and knick-knacks wherewith
to regale her neighbors at the dinner
table. By this time the husband is
home from business pretty well worn
out. After dinner, card playing comes
in, or maybe another novel, or possibly
a visit to the theatre or opera, or an In
vitation to some vapid party. From
the time she rises at seven or eight till
she goes to bed at eleven or twelve,
not a thing has she done but amuse
herself and kill time. If it happens
that she has any children to look after
of course there is somthing to be done
besides gadding, but children are very
scarce in boarding houses, so scarce,
indeed, that two children to three cou-
pies may be called the average. The
husband works as hard as any man who
has home to cheer him when the days
business is over. The wife is merely
an idle woman whose board he pays.
This is the rule of course there are ex-
ceptions to it bnt by far the greater
part of married life in boarding houses
is substantially what have hastily de-
scribed.

A Departed Glory.

The Richmond Dispatch laments the decay
of ''the Virginia ham, one of the most pop
ulsr features of the good living of old Vir-
ginia before the war. 1t was formerly cured
by the accomplished housekeepers of that
day, and was often preferred to the famous
Westphalia ham. The Dispatch states that
an order has been lately received in Rich
mond for large number of .'old Virginia
hamsr for the most famous restaurant in
New York. The markets Of Richmond,
Petersburg and Norfolk were searched in
vain for them. They were not to be had.
Men who formerly cured great deal of
bacon have now not pound to spare. Sheep
and hogs in that State are reported as hold
ing their lives by most uncertain tenure,
and farmers dread the risk of raising them.

The Power Of Language.

1t is remarkable how some writers
can adorn the most commonplace sub
ject with the flowers of poesy, and
make it joy forever. We read in a
contemporary that a highly esteemed
citizen of Franklin, "whO has dwelt
upon this sublunary sphere for the term
of seventy winters, and in that time
had the mingled grief and pleasure to
lay three wives where the flowers of
spring could grow over them, and the
dews of summer sparkle like robe of
diamond about them, recently took to
himself a fourth partner of his joys and
SORROWS in the person of charming
widow, who has deposited two matri-
monial ventures in place of perpetual
security, and gazed on the blushing
roses of seventy-tive summers

! Said an eastern sage to his son: "GC
forth. my son, to the world; be wise in
| the accumulation of riches; be wise in
the choice of friends; yet little will all
| this avail thee, if thou chose not wisely
the wife of thy bosom.
When the rulers of the people echo
thy sayings, and the trumpet of fame
sounds thy name abroad and among
the nations, more beautiful will the
sun of thy glory set if one bright clOud
reflects its brightness and sullied for
ever will be the splendOr of its rays, if
like a dark spot she crosses the surface.
Consider this then, my son, and look
well to her ways whom thou wouldst
love; for little will all else avail thee if
thou choose not wisely the companion
of thy bosom. See yonder the maIdens
of Tinge; they deck themselves with
the gems of Goleonda and the roses OF
kashmir, themselves more brilliant and
beautiful; but ah, take not them To
thy bosom; for the gems will grow
dim, and the roses wither, and naught
remain to thee of all thou didst WOO
and win.
Neither turn thyself to the proud one
who vaunts herself of having scanned
the pages of Nedas, and fathOmed of
the mysteries of the holy temple.
Woman was not born to WELD the
sceptre or direct the council; To rival
the mandates of Brahma, or eXpOund
the sacred verses of Menu. Rather let
her support thee in thy grief and sooth
thee in sickness; To rejoice In thy pros
perity and cling to thee in adversely.
Reflect, then, my son, ere thou choose,
and look well to her ways whom thou
wouldst make the wife of thy bosom.
A wife, what a sacred name, what
responsible Ofiicei she must be the
unspotted sanctuary to which wearied
men flee from the crimes of the world,
and feel that no sin dare enter there.
A wife, she must be as pure as spirits
around the everlasting throne, that
men may kneel to her in admiration
and feel no abasement. A wife, she
must he the guardian angel of his
footsteps on earth, and guide them tn
Heaven; so firm in virtue, that should
he for a moment waver, she can yield
him support, and replace him upon its
foundation; so happy in conscious
innocence that when from the per
plexIties of the world, he turns to his
home, he may never find a frOwn where
he sought smile. Such, my son, thou
seekest in wife; reflect well ere thou
tHoOSt.
Open not thy bosom to the trifeI,
repOse not thy head on the breast which
nurseth envy, and folly, and vanity;
hope not for obedience where the pas
sions are untamed and expect no honor
from her who honoreth not the God
who made her.
Though thy place he next to the
throne of princes, and the countenance
of royalty beam upon thee-though thy
riches he as the pearls of Omar, and
thy name be honored from the east to
the west, very little will it avail thee, if
darkness and disappointments and
strife be in thine own habitatiOn.
There must be passed thine hours of
solitude and sickness; and there must
thou die. Reflect then, my son, ere
thou choose, and look well to her ways
whom thou wouldst love; for though
thou he wise in other things, little will
it avail thee, if thou choose not wisely
the wife of thy bosom. m.'-ELchdHge.

A FOREST FANCY.

II Hrebells and ferns from forest nook
oh leave them with me and let me dream
see them growing beside brook,
And hear the whipping .rill of the stream.
/ watch from round. red knob uprise,
Crosier-headed, the feathery fronds.
Til graceful plumes, under summer skies,
Wave as rejoicing DER broken bonds;
And close by s. green outrageous fern
Which arches DER fairy bower,
4 pendulous blue inverted urn,
Where COLLINS shelter from sun and shower;
The harebell, on its delicate stem
So daintily poised, 50 lightly swung,
Whence music audible unto them
Floats on the air as by zephyrs rung.
The fiery sun goes down to his bath.
Moonlight lances are shot through the trees,
Wee elves come trooping by many path,
As harebell chimes swell out on the breeze
The cricket answers with shriIl delight
The harebeil summons still pealing out
The glow-wOrTn lamps are lit for the night,
And echo trills with fairy shout
tor- guarded by fays with spears Of grass,
To mossy dais and acorn throne.
The elfn queen and her courtiers pass,
To the palace Of fern she calls her own
In feast and frolic they vile the time,
With fears too deft for form of clay,
Dancing to pensive harebell chime
Dawn breaks-the fairies are fed away,
With daylight comes a fair young maid
Her touch as light elf's might be-
BeGuiles the harebell and fern from the glade
And brings the forest and fays to me.

Met His Fate.

Anew Orleans Judge, riding in the
cars rscently, from single glance at
the countenance of lady by his side,
imagined he knew her, and ventured to
remark that the day was pleasant. She
only answered:
Yes"
'Why do you wear a veil ?"
"Lest attract attention"
'It is a province of gentlemen to ad-
mire, replied the gallant man of law.
''Not when they are married"
''But am not"
Indeed ~
ooh no I'm bachelor"
The lady quietly removed her veil,
disclosing to the astonished magistrate
the face of his mother-in-law.
He has been q raving maniac ever
since,
