Revisiting the Earth.

To revisit this earth, some ages after
their departure from it, is common
wish among men. We frequently hear
men say that they would give so many
months or years of their lives in ex-
change for less number on the globe
one or 70 or three centuries from now.
Merely to see the world from some re-
mote sphere, like the distant spectator
of play which passes in dumb show,
would not suffice. They would like to
be of the world again, and enter into ITS
feelings, passions, hopes to feel the
sweep of its current, and so to compre-
hend what it has become.
1 suppose that we all, who are thor
oughly interested in this world, have
this desire. There are some select
souls, who sit apart in calm endurance,
waiting to be translated out OF world
they are almost tired of patronlzlng, to
whom the whole thing seems doubtless
like cheap performance. They SIT on
the fence of criticism, and cannot Tor
the life of them see what the vulgar
crowd make such toll and sweat about.
The prizes are the same, dreary, old,
fading bay-wreaths. AS for the SOL
diers marching past, their uniforms are
torn, their hats are shocking, their shoes
are dusty, they do not appear, to man
sitting on the fence. to march with any
kind of spirit, their flags are old and
tattered, the drums they beat are bar
barous and, besides, it is not probable
that they are going anywhere, they
will merely come round again, the same
people, like the marching chorus in the
"Beggar's Opera" Such critics, OF
course, would not care to see the vulgar
show over again it is enough for them
to put on record their protest against 1T
in the weekly Judgment Days. which
they edit, and, by-and-by, withdraw
out of their private boxes, with pity for
a world in the creation of which they
were not consulted.
The desire to revisit this earth is, L
think, based upon a belief, well nigh
universal, that the world IS to make
some progress, and that it Will be more
interesting in the future than it Is now.
I believe that the human mind, when
ever it is developed enough to compre-
hepd it's own action, rests, and has al
ways rested, in this expectation. do
not know any period of time in which
the civilized mind has not had expecta-
tion of something better for the race III
the future. This expectation is sons-
times stronger than it is at others and,
again, there are always those VINO say
that the golden age is behlnd Cnem' IL
is always behind or before us Ghe poor
,1resent alone has no friends; the pres
ent. in the minds of many, is only the
car that is carrying us away from an
ace of virtue and of happiness or that
is perhaps, bearing us on to time OF
ease ca and comfort and security.-Scrib-

The Fung Shuy.

The most curious of Chinese super
stitions is the ftt1g Shuy, geomancy.
The two words mean simply wind and
water" but the true sense and import
of this name for the superstition cannot
be gathered from these words. The
real object of the study and profession
of the art of ftLnq ShlLy is to WOO the
good and ward off the evil spirits, in
whose existence and power to bless or
curse, the Chinese apparently entertain
a profound belief. As northerly winds
blow in China from October to the end
of March, it is not very surprising that
the natives associate with them the
death of nature, as it were, and lCok
upon that quarter of the compass as the
one from which evil influences all ema-
nate; and as southerly winds prevail
during the rest and more cheerful part
of the year, they conclude that all good
and beneficial influences come from the
south; consequently, all the temples
and houses which can be so constructed
are built to face the south. But it is in
the selection of sites for graves that the
talent of the professor of .ftC11g Sbuy is
chiefly displayed. A thoroughly good
situation must be one open to the south,
with nothing abruptly to check the flow
of the southern blessing; and to the
north there must be some hill or rising
ground, some tree or other object, to
check, puzzle and defeat the time of
evil from that whitening region. If the
position be bad. the dead, irritated and
annoyed by the unpleasant influence
from the north, make known their re-
sentiment by causing sickness and other
calamities to assail the family; and,
finally, if the mischief is not repaired,
they make it wither away. Each village
has its .f,trg shay, its luck; aud the
hand of the man who would cut down
a lucky tree, thus letting in stream of
curses from the north, is said to be
paralyzed and withered on the spot.
| Chinese villages are often built IN
squares, with houses on three sides, and
the entrance open toward th9 south.
/ The two sides, as You enter, have diff
ferent degrees of honor and Importance.
The right handis the green dragon, the
! left the white tiger and if, by design
or accident, the white tigers head be
lifted higher than the dragons or if any
special advantage be gained by the lett,
then the luck of the place is gone. II
is interesting to notice that this super.
stition of fttng Shaty, though it prevails
so widely, and has taken such a deer
root in the minds of the people, is yet
denounced in the Sacred Edict as 6
capital crime.

Agassiz was Singularly Unmethodical
in His Habits.

Men who live and work by rule would
be puzzled to understand how Agassiz
managed to do so much without these
helps. He lived and worked by inspira-
ton. If he was suddenly seized with
an interest in some scientific inquiry,
he would pursue it at once, putting by
perhaps other work in which he had
Just fairly got started. 81 always like
to take advantage of my productive
moods" he said to me. Thus often he
had several irons in the fire. only one of
which might ultimately be furnished.
Probably he saw that the last iron prom
ised to work up better than the first.
He never could be made to work like a
machine, turning out definite quanti-
ty at regular intervals. He never felt
bound to regard the rule that you must
finish one thing before You begin an
other; so emphatically presented in the
old school-books. His was q method of
working which would be ruinous to any
man who had not his wonderful facul-
ties, his far-sight and insight. With
his great, logical brain and his marve.
lous powers of observation, there was
united a certain telescopic intuition
which made his view of probabilities
something more than a guess. He never
proposed his own methods of working
as a model for others. Once, however,
in my presence, a near relative ven
tured to ask him if he did not think he
would accomplish more if he finished
one thing before he began another.
" Every man must work to his own
he replied. He was in him
self a great contradiction of the methods
by which many have won success. He
achieved, but it was after his own way.
1t was frequentlyia hard thing to get
him to sign a paper, or write letter
Except for somebody else), or to look
OVER accounts or reports, or do little
routine work. Yet be coul1 never have
his great eminence in science if
he had not paid in this department great
attention on the minutest and apparent
ly the most insignificant details. Look
ing at the drawing of fish made by
his artist, he-said, after taking a single
glance, "It is beautiful drawing, but
don't you see you have left out two or
three of the scales ?" This story, which
[ have seen elsewhere, is vouched for by
the droughtsman who formely drew his
specimens for hin.-NeaO York IFi-

Agassiz a Lover of Children.

Agaasiz was great lover of children.
He was constantly speaking to them in
the street and caressing them, not from
affectation or a desire to be popular,
but because he could not help it. His
Grandchildren, George and Max, were
always running over to see grandpa,
and grandpa was always glad to see
them. If grandpa had had the entire
training of them, perhaps there would
have been some spoiled children. A
friend tells me of an instance which
we'll illustrates his tenderness for chill
dren. Once while conducting some
scientific experiments, it became neces-
sary to have some water immediately.
Agassiz seized pitcher and ran out to
a pump near bv. He went out quickly,
but was slow in coming back. They
waited twice as long for the water as
would have suficed to bring it, and
then went ont to see what was the mat
ter. There sat Agassiz, down by the
pump, his legs crossed, and a little
child. which he was fondly soothing
and caressing, nestled in between them.
In his haste to the pump he had acci-
IDENTIFY struck the child standing near
by. Though the blow was of little ac-
count. the exigencies of science seemed
to him the less important, and he had
to put down his pitcher and open his
heart. When deeply engaged in sclen-
titic investigation he would leave his
work to seize and fondle child that
had strayed into his room, and the IN
terrupted mental process seemed to be
resumed without difficulty.

The Trappists.

There are only two establishments
belonging to this monastic order in the
United States, one at New Haven, KY,
and the other uear Dubuque, la. The
Trappists are not a cheerful set, and
how they manage to ggain recruits Tor
their cells is a mystery. Ihey make
life a burden and even ID thelr greeG,
ines are gloomy. Memento morl'
they say, instead OF GOOD morning,
as Il there were danger OF forgetting the
bnpan attribute of mortality. And not
satisfied with uncomfortably intruding
death into life, they turn night into
day, compelling each to get up at 2 a.
m. in order to spend twelve hours at
prayer and religious reading, which is
expected to fit them for exertion in the
cultivation of the fields belonging to
the establishment, for several hours
more. Their bill of fare is limited.
Cider is the only luxury. The bill IS
filed by water, vegetables and bread.
Worldly conversation is prohibited.
For beds the soft side of a pine plank
is expected to suffice, and the head wea-
ried with thinking, pillows itself on
bao of straw. The brothers are not al
lowed to take off their clothing under
anv circumstances, which leads TO the
inference that cleanliness is regarded
as being antagonistic to godliness.
Altogether the Trappists appear to be
a set of whom the world has no need,
and who, having no need OF the world,
could either die or die out with proht
To themselves and no harm to the rest
of mankind.

TOO LATE.

If this love that is gliding life's Summer
Had come III hfe's Spring,
How my soul would have met the newcomer
With garment and ring;
With sacrifice offered in gladness,
With hopo for the beautiful years
Alas from the depth of my sadness,
greet it with tears.
Too late do we stand at the altar
Too late you rejoice!
Too late do you tremble and falter
At the sound of my voice!
The hand that you hold has grown thinner,
The heart has known anguish and fears;
1 am yours, o victorious winner
/ salute you with tears!
You say that Loves golden September
Is faithful and strong;
You marvel that should remember
Loves May-time of wrong!
The sorrow for you is all over;
My heart is prophetic in fears,
And SO, for your kiss as my lover,
1 offer my tears
What give to the cheek in its whteness,
Praise lost to its bloom?
What turn from the eyes in their brightness,
And worship their gloom?
The rose, in its freshness and beauty,
You crushed in your earlier years;
viii you cherish it, faded, from duty?

Mark Twain on Woman.

Mark Twain, the well-known humor-
ist, replied to the toast of the ladies at
the festival of the Scottish corporation
of London on December 1. In doing
so, he said : / am proud, indeed, of
the distinction of being chosen to re-
spond to this especial toast, to "The
Ladies'" or to woman, if you please, for
that is the preferable term, perhaps; it
is certainly the older, and therefore the
more entitled to reference. Oaughter.) }
/ have noticed that the Bible, with that
plain blunt honesty which is such a
conspicuous characteristic of the Scrip
lures, is always particular to never re-
fer to even the illustrious mother of
mankind herself as lady" butspeaks
of her as woman. daughter 1t IS
odd, but you will find it is SO. l am
peculiarly proud of this honor, because
think that the toast to women is one
which, by right and by every rule of
gallantry, should take precedence of all
others-of tine army, of the navy, of
even royalty itself, perhaps, though the
latter is not necessary in this day and
in this land, for the reason that, tacltly,
you do drink broad general health to
all good women when you drink the
health of the queen of England and the
princess of Wales. loud cheers.) I
have in mind poem just now which is
familiar to YOU all, familiar to every
body. And what an inspiration that
was land how instantly the present
toast recalls the verses to all our minds)
when the most noble, the most gracious,
the purest, and sweetest of all poets
says:
