Henry Blackburn says Of the bathing at
Trouville "a book might be written

the spiders, the 'grasshopper's green,
and the other eccentric costumes de

trimmed with deaths heads, and q gen.

Economy IL Wealth.

1t is a very common remark that one
who has money can make moro money ;
but that does not always follow, for it
depends upon the individual. However,
almest everybody can save money, and
even q small sum will produce gains by
putting it where it will accumulate,
after some years, to an amount that may
be invested to some purpose. In this
way good deal of suffering and poverty
that now exists would be avoided, if
habits Of economy could take the place
of some other habits that O large class
of humanity are prone to. Though they
are diligent in their daily labor, some
men never put anything aside for a
rainy day.
I am aware it requires often good
deal of self-denial to carry such an
object into effect, but if people would
consider to what q small sum saved
daily will amount in twenty-five years,
placed at interest at six per cent. in
banks, where, IS q general thing, it is
figured mi-annually, they would be
surprised at its results. In this way
they could be replenishing their own
Golfers to the diminishing of many
others, that would be double benefit
to the community at large. In the fol-
lowing figures are the results of small
sums saved for q period of years. Let
young and old begin, and the day will
come when You will be thankful you
tried the experiment. The table of
principal and interest on sums saved
daily, with interests compounded semi
annually, would be as follows:

Some people are always too late, and
therefore accomplish through life moth
ing worth naming. II they promise to
meet you at such an hour, they are never
preseut until thirty minutes after. No
matter how important the business is to
either yourself or to him, he is just as
tardy. If he takes a passage in the
steamboat, he arrives just as the boat
has left the wharf, and the train has
started a few minutes before he arrives.
His dinner has been waiting for him
so long that the cook is out of patience.
This course the character We have de-
scribed always pursues. He is never
IN season at a church, at place of busi-
ness, at his meals, or in his bed. Per-
sons of such habits We cannot but de-
spise. Always speak in season, and be
ready at the appointed hour. Wewould
not give a fig for a man who is not
punctual to his engagements, and who
never makes up his mind to a certain
course till the time is lost. Those who
hang back, hesitate and tremble-who
are never at hand for journey, trad
ing, sweetheart or anything else-are
poor sloths, and are il-calculated to
get living in this stirring world.

Miscellany.
Madame Du Barry's Last
Moments.

The execution of the notorious Coun-
tess Du Barry is described as follows
by an eyewitness "Upon arriving at
the Pont au Change 1 found a very
large crowd assembled there. 1 had no
need to ask the reason of the assem-
blage, for at that moment l heard the
most terrible cries, and almost immedi-
ately saw come out of the court OF the
Palace of Justice that fatal cart which
Barrere has called the bier of the living.
A woman was in that cart, which slowly
drew near the spot upon which 1 was
standing. Her figure, her attitude, her
gestures, expressed the most frightful
despair. Alternately red and deathly
pale, she Struggled with the executioner
and his two assistants, who could
scarcely hold her upon the bench, and
uttering those piercing cries which
had first arrested me, she turned inces-
sanity from one to the other invoking
pity. 1t was Madame du Barry, being
conveyed to execution. Only about
forty-two or forty-three years of age,
she was still, in spite of the terror
which disfgured her features, remark
ably beautiful. Clothed wholly in white,
like Marie Antoinette, who had preceded
her q few weeks previously on the same
route, her beautiful black hair formed
a contrast similar to that presented by
funeral pail cast over a coffin. In
the name of heaven, she cried amidst
her tears and sobs, save me save me !
/ have never done i'll to any one save
mel The delirious frenzy of this un-
fortunate woman produced such an i'm
precision among the people that those
who came to gloat lover her sufferings
had not the courage to cast at her C
word of insult. Every one around ap-
peared stupefed, and no cries were
heard but hers-but hers were so
piercing that / believe they would have
drowned even those of the mob had
they been uttered. During the whole
route she never ceased her shrieks for
Life life T and to struggle frantically
to elude death, which had seized upon
her already. Upon arriving at the scaffold
it was necessary to employ force to
attach her to the fatal plank, and her
last words were Mercy mercy But
one moment longer, but one-and
then all was still"

Rossinf's Lesson to an Organ.
Grinder.

The London Echo should have thought
that it would be as easy to teach COW
to dance a minuet as to give an organ
grinder any idea of time. 1t appears,
however, that the composer Rossini was
of a different opinion. 1t is said that
when he lived in the Chaussee d'Antin,
he came one day upon q man playing
"Di Tanti Palpiti" on hurdy-gurdy.
The performer Was astonished to hear q
voice from the crowd suddenly e1claim.
Faster, faster u "How faster ?" says
the organ man. "Turn the handle
quicker; it is allegro" "But, sir, /
don't know" "Like this ; $3.50, !"
and Rossini rushed upon the organ
and ground out the tune to the proper
time. Thank you, sir, " said the man !;
81 shall remember the lesson and in
fact on the next day he was heard in
the same place playing ''Di Tanti Pal
pitt" as he had been taught. "Biavo,
bravo, bravo I" EXCLAIMED Rossini from
Q window, and dropped louis dor at
the mans feet. The Echo scarcely
knows whether to admire most the con-
descension Of the composer or the do
cility of the grinder.

The First Element of a Home.

Inever saw garment too fine for man
or maid there never was a chair too
good for a cobbler or cooper to sit in
never a house too fine to shelter the
human head. These elements about us,
the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun. are
not too good for the human race. Ele-
gance fits man. But do we not value
these tools of housekeeping little
more than they are worth, md some
times mortgage home for the mahogany
we can bring into it? l would rather
eat my dinner off the head of a barrel,
or dress after the fashion of John the
Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on q
block all my life, than consume all my
self before / get home, and take so
much pains with the outside that the
inside was as hollow as an empty nut.
Beauty is great thing, but beauty OF
garments, house and furniture is a very
tawdry ornament compared with domes-
tic love. Ali the elegance in the world
will not make home, and would give
more for spoonful of hearty love than
for whole shiploads of furniture. and
all the uphoIsterers Of the world could
gather together. Theodore Parker.

sore trouble? I nursed the little
brothers and sisters at home, and ]

And she took little Clarence in her
arms with a soft tenderness that went
to the mothers heart.
'Are you not afraid, Kathleen?"
"What should 1 be afraid of, ma am p
Isn't the Gods sky over us all, whether
its the green banks of Ireland, or the
church steeple of this great confusing
city? Oh, ma'am, He'll not take the
bonny baby from u.s."
All Mrs. Arnott's children had the
fever-last of all she was prostrated by
it-and Kathleen watched over every
one, faithful, true and tender.
Kathleen" Mrs. Arnott said, the
first day she sat up, with the Irish girl
arranging the pillows about her wasted
form, "Oh, Kathleen, don't deserve
this"
'Sure, ma'am, if We all had our
deserts in this world, it's sorry place
it would be, I'm thinking" laughed
Kathleen.
"But Kathleen, was cruel to you
SO perfectly heartless y
"We wont talk of it, ma'am dear, "
said Kathleen, evasively.
"But say just once that you forgive
me 2" pleaded the lady, once SO naughty.
II forgive you, ma'am, as free as the
sunshine" Kathleen answered softly.
"And you'll stay with me always, and
be my friend, Kathleen?"
'If God wills it, ma'am."
And Mrs. Arnott put her lips to kiss
the fresh, cool cheeks of Irish Kath-
leen.
The years that have passed since then
have made men and women of the little
people that Kathleen nursed through
the fever; and strangers who visit Mrs.
Arnott scarcely know what to make of
the plump, comely, middle aged woman
who moves about the house apparently
as much at home in it as the mistress
herself-who is always consulted about
everything, and trusted with all secrets.
"Is she housekeeper, or a servant,
or a relation?" some one once asked.
Mrs. Arnott replied: "She is my true
and trusted friend, Kathleen O'Neil." !"

Penalty OF Galiantry.

A story is told of prominent politi-
clan which now for the first time finds
its way into type. Some years ago this
gentleman and Senator NJ were in
New York, and about to embark to Al
bany on the Drew. An old German
emigrant woman, loaded down with
baggage, happened to reach the gang
plank at the same time. The noise and
confusion of the scene as the boat was
about to start bewildered her. Our
political friend, q gallant man, taking
in the state of affairs at glance, imme-
diately relieved her of the load and re-
quested Senator M to give her his
arm. The upper deck was crowded
with people, many whom recognized
the gentleman in question. Mr.. P
then marched them the whole length of
the boat, gracefully waving his hand,
and exclaiming: "Clear the wayl Make

The work of the Photographic chem
ist does not consist alone in the pro-
duction of pictures artistically true in
tone through the medium of chemicals,
for photography has become OF late the
handmade. of the higher sciences, and
the results of nearly every discovery in
Photographic chemistry have been util-
lied in some practical way for the bene-
fit of mankind. Photography has q
still greater value as q cultivator of art
tastes, for it puts in the hands of the
poorer classes exact representations of
beautiful scenery, or exact copies of fine
works of art, instead Of the vulgar
prints and coarse daubs that were COM
mon twenty years ago. Such an art is
deserving of recognition in the exhibi-

THE TEMPERANCE IMPULSE.

Brooklyn Ministers, Laymen and Ladies'
i'm COuncfl-Preliminar aries for . Thor
ough Org ganization Of the Churches.
The temperance movement in Brooklyn has
taken new impulse for the winter campaign. and
yesterday afternoon, in response TO circular to
pastors and churches, there was goodly gather
ing In the chapel Of the Young Mems Christian
Association, on Fulton street. Mr.. ]. N. Stearns
presided ana the Rev. A. G. Lawson was secretary.
AT q preliminary meeting held on the 1st inst. a
committee was appointed to draft resolutions
to be presented at this meeting. That
committee consisted OF Rev. T. l. Cuyler,
John Parker, A. G. Lawson. E. P. 1ngersoli,
and II. r. Nye. After the call for the meeting had
been read, Mr.. Parker presented the resolutions
which were in substance as folows:-They set
forth that the vice Of intemperance is the greatest
obstacle to the material, spiritual. moral and
INTELLECTUAL PROGRESS OF THE COMMUNITY;
that 1t depends upon the manufacture and sale OF
alcoholic drinks as beverage for Its supports that
the remarkable uprising OF the women OF our land
has revealed what moral power lies hid in our
churches for the suppression Of this tra1c; that it
is the duty OF ministers to preach often on this
subject and to give special attention and sup
port to every effort put forth for the
suppression OF the vice OF intemperance:
that the several churches organize temper
ance societies which shall meet at.
least once month and that said societies shall be-
represented in "The Brotherhood of Churches''-
the name Of the central committee growing out
OF this church organization-by the pas tors and
two delegates from each church, that Bands OF
Hope be organized also in the Sabbath schools, who
shall be represented In central committee, which
shall meet once quarter; that fund be created
for the purpose OF disseminating temperance nt-
erature and that the pastors be recommended to
preach at least once between this and New Years.
Day with special reference TO the custom OF intro.
ducing wines on the tables on that day.
Drs. Cuyler, Parker, Loomis. Messrs. Robbins.
Spellman, Rev. Fred. Bell and Others spoke. Mrs.
Johnson, President OF

asked one very pertinent question, What shall be

would take some measures for raising fund Of
$4,000 Tor tnis very object. Dr. Cuyler announced
that Miss Smiley would lecture In his church. on
temperance, next Wednesday evening, when q
collection would be taken up for the LADIES'
Union. committee OF fifteen was appointed to
act as an executive committee until the churches
have organized and acted, and the oficers Of She
Convention were directed to notify the churches
Of the action OF the meeting.
