to those who rightly comprehend il is 4
woman in full-dress. As she stands under

with her diamonds flashing in her white
bosom; with her hair sparkling with
gold and trimmed with pearls; with her
Silken robe flashing out its brilliant dyes
and trailing its length along like the plum
age of some bright tropical bird with her
creamy laces foaming about her with her
jeweled fan, her breast-knot ofheavy-scent-

about her, and as you gaze upon her, do
you not see earth, air, and sky but as 81

not see the trains of insects, crawling
worms, and the beasts of the field paying
to her their tribute? Down deep IN mines,
fathoms under the sea; crowded in damp,

you not see the tOiling masses her faithful

New Kinks in Society.

Mrs. Stockton gave her son, Mr.. Richard
Stockton. a most beautiful German last
evening. There were thirty-eight couples,
and six - favor" figures were danced. The
favor wtre all very handsome, and most of
them were of original design. To the gem
tlemen - orders" were given, similar to
those bestowed by foreign courts on those
they wish 70 honor. A broad ribbon, red,
blue or yellow, was passed over the left
shoulder across the breast and back and
caught at the waist with a tiny silver
bell, while silver star glittered on the
breast. TambOrines and beautiful fans
were among the favors of the ladies. An
other and most becoming favor for fair
arms was a band of black velvet for the
wrist and one for the upper part of the
arm, united by a strap extending along the
arm. studded with small sleigh-bells. Miss
Edith Fish and Mr.. John Davis led the
German; Miss Grant and Mr.. Stockton

Plucky POttIe.

Miss Frank POttle is a school teacher in
Fryeburg, Me. Her avOirdupOis is ninety
pounds. She is small, but desperate
weak, but determined. In the pursuit of
her honorable but trying calling, she had
cause to animadvert in severe terms upon
the conduct of one her scholars, who, not
being fully impressed with a sense of re-
spect due her position, replied in terms
that were at once Objurgatory, discourte-
Ous and insulting. WhereupOn, the lean
but undaunted little teacher event for
him. and soon placed him hors dH combat.
The result was, that the pugnacious POttle
was brought up before Justice of the
Peace for whipping a scholar. The JUS
tice looked first at the prisoner and then at
the complainant, who happened to be a
strapping. lubberly boy, sixteen years of
age, and almost double her size. He was
impressed with the fragile build of the Pot
tie, the pugilistic, whose delicate hands,
slim waist, and meagre muscles did not ap-
pear to be match for the hulking cub
who had provoked her. The Justice, after
a moments reflection, quoted scripture TO
the following effect: "When the strong
oppresseth the weak, then do the people
gnash their teeth and cry aloud against the
despoiler; but when the weak turneth from
her path, taketh the strong by the scurf OF
the neck and waistband of the pantaIOOns,
and hurleth him to the earth, then do the
people marvel, and they are amazed
much" He then inquired into the merits
of the case, and finding that the punish
ment had been well deserved, he expressed
admiration for the plucky Pottle, and dis
charged her from custody. This is as it
should be. Whenever weak and down.
trodden woman proves that she is neither
weak nor down-trodden, she deserves and
should receive every encouragement. As
for the Judge, he is the very prince OF
umDireS.

Puzzles.

There are two things that puzzle me.
One is the amount of misplaced virtue in
the world; that is to say, the immense
quantity of downright goodness scattered
around among the commOnest sort OF
people; among people about whom there
are no social safeguards whatever, and
who would be quite up to the moral stand
ard of their neighbOrs if they gave loose
rein to al manner of passion. tell you,
when a man has been surrounded with
pure Influences do not mean with aus
terity or fanaticism, from which he would
be likely to suffer reactiOn-when a man
who has been breathing no atmosphere
but that of moderation and decOrum looks
back upon his own life, and trembleS at his
hundred hair-breadth 'scapes from utter
ruin, of one kind or another, he cannot
help wondering what keeps the unprO-
tected classes from going altogether and
utterly to the bad. 1t was one of the best
saints out of the calendar who declared
himself competent to commit any crime
under the sun of which he had ever heard,
and what it is that keeps the average sin
ner from going straight through the
criminal list, it is hard to tell.
The other puzzle is how the ordinary
human is able to bear up against the enOr-
nous weight of suffering imposed upon
him-not simply the misery of which the
papers tell under startling headlines, Or
in little paragraphs that travel the rounds
of the press, and startle you now and then
with their grim and gruesOme humor-
not simply the distress which is the sub
iect of charity reports, and governmental
statistics-nOt simply the obvious exam
Piles of quiet endurance, the heroic men
and women whose lives are one long self
sacrifice-nOt simply these, but the absO-
lutte discomfort and pain, physical, moral,
AMI aesthetic, that is borne by almost every
human being in the world, with such no
bility of endurance that the croaker and
cOmplainer is so much the exception that
he is pointed at with scOrn, and summed
by his fellows as an anomaly and nuis-
ance.-Sc7jbne7's for March.

Nova ScOtian Children.

II. H.. in her " Bits OF Talk" is impress
ed with the children of Nova Scotia, who
are superior in appearance, size, and
health to the children of the New England
and Middle States. There was scarcely a
sickly one among them; such brilliant
cheeks, such merry eyes, such evident
strength; broad shouldered, straight, and
sturdy. and their faces wore a quiet, un-
harrasSed expression. The climate has un-
doubtedly something to do with this. the
air being moist, and the mercury rarely
rising above 500 or falling below l00.
There are no public schools in Nova Scotia.
and IN contrasting the state of the children
with similar class in the United States, II.
IL. comes 70 the broad conclusion that il
/ Is better 10 have no schools at all than to
have such public schools as are now kill
ing OFF our children. In Massachusetts
more than two-fifths of all the children die
before they are twelve Years old. In Nova
Scotia the proportion is less than one-third.
! In Massachusetts, the mortality from dis
cases of the brain and nervous system is
eleven per cent; IN Nova Scotia it is only
eight per cent. So it seems that to have
rosy, ruddy, calm children we must reor-
ganize our schools, and taking Nova Scotia
for an example, no child should be sent to
school under seven years of age, or keptin
school more than six hours day, with an
hours intermission, and no learning les
sons out of school allowed.

Farmers Cheap Fire-Extinguisher.

A solution of pearl-ash and water thrown
upon fire extinguishes it instantly, and
by a knowledge of this fact every one, and
especially the farmer, who is isrenOved from
the benefits to be derived from water works
or fire engines, may make himself a cheap,
handy and efficient fire-eXtinguisher with
but little trouble.
The proportions are four ounces of pearl
ash dissolved in only such hot water as
will thoroughly dissolve it, and then re-
duced by mixing with it bucket of com
mon water. Any quantity may be made
upon the same proportions,
To prepare ii for use for farm house,
select a tight keg that will hold several
pals of water, aud, after dissolving suffi-
cient of the pearl-ash as above indicated,
pour the solution into the keg of water.
The keg should have an opening in the
top sufficiently large TO allow the use of a
common bucket in dipping up the fluid
with deXterity when wanted. 1t should
also be furnished with close fitting, NOV
able cover when not in use. With such an
arrangement at hand, scarcely one fire in a
hundred usually originating in a farm
house would withstand the application OF
this fluid if taken in time. 1t is certainly
efficient, cheap, handy, and for his own
protection no farmer can well afford 10 be
without something of the kind. Aside
from the power of forcing the liquids as if
by pump or power, as is done in the patent
and more expensive fire-extinguishers, the
simple arrangement as suggested above is
equally valuable.

Spare the Trees.

Professor Ezra Carr delivered an inter-
esting lecture last night at the hall of the
Mechanics Institute, on the national val
ue of forests and the urgent necessity for
their preservation. The auditorium was
well filed. He began by saying that when
Capt. John Smith wrote home to England,
he depicted in golden cOlOrs the wonders,
the variety and the richness OF the forests
on this continent. The English are emf
nently tree-loving nation, so that the IA
vOrable description of the wooded shores
and fertile soil of America attracted them
hither. They found the swamps filled with
the cedar and the cypress, and the noun
tains covered with forests of larches and
frs, which, although the guardians OF
the settlers, sheltered also many a enemy
the panther, the bear, the poisonous ser
pent and the treacherOus and willy Indian.
1t is not to be wOnered at, therefore, that
the settlers, in making their clearings, de
stroyed these forests. This clearing was
so complete that you can travel the whole
of New England to-day, without finding a
tree that grew i'm the time of the first land-
ing. But the tide of civilization flowing
westward came at last to wash the shores
of the open prairies, where no clearing was
needed TO fit them for agriculture.
Before the Western States became thus
pOpulOus, the question of the destruction
of timber was not important, but with the
growth of the West it became apparent
that not only cheap food but timber for fl
ell would be affected by this increase of
population. Let us build of brick and
stOne." the people said; bat still the con-
sumption of timber increased in flooring,
roofing and finishing of houses. The
wood grows deaTer with which we burn
clay for our bricks and the lime for our
mortar. Fences must be had, and already
these cost more than the farms they serve
to enclose, and these have to be renewed
in certain time in other words, the dead
wood perishes about as fast as the live
wood grows.
The lecturer then spoke of the sources
of supply, and proved by elaborate reasOn-
ing and an appalling array of statistics,
that unless some legislative action is taken
in the matter of preserving the forests of
America, the wood supply will have failed
before the finger of time shall have touched
the ebony locks of the present rising gen
alton with tinge Ofsilver. The consump-
ton of timber is going on at an alarming
rate. More than S5O,OOO,OOO has been eX-
pended for railroad ties alone. The sleep
rrs required for one mile of road will take
the bodies of forty trees one fC OF in Diane
ter, the result of thirty years growth. In
spite of the warnings of history, and eXpe-
rience of enlightened modern govern
ments, we are pursuing policy with re-
spect to this subject more worthy of sava-
ges than civilized men.-SdH Francisco
