a SEASON OF DISASTERS.

This has been season Of unprece-
dented disasters to the farming interests
of the United States. In May and
June whole sections of country were
devasted by the grasshopper plague,
which left wheat and corn fields as
desolate as the alkali deserts of Nevada.
The States which escaped that pest
are now visited by frosts, which are
destroying what escaped the locusts.
Throughout the whole Northwest
heavy frost prevailed on Saturday and
Sunday nights, which did great damage
to growing crops in half dozen States
III the great granary of the country.
Farmers begin to think that there will
De no end to disasters this season.
Grasshoppers, floods and frosts have
almost discouraged them, and it is not
surprising that they are somewhat de-
spondent. To these drawbacks to the
agricultural interest, which is the great
industry of the interior States, is at
tributed the great depression in mer-
camille pursuits and the scarcity of
money throughout the Atlantic States.
There are plenty of greenbacks in the
vaults of the millionaire merchants of
the large cities, but the producing
classes have nothing to offer in ex-
change for them, and the result is dull
times. Bountiful crops and conse-
quent large surplus for export would
unlock the safes where the currency
Of the country is boarded and prove
that there is no necessity for imitation.
But it appears that in several Of the
States at least, combination of cir
cumstances, impossible to foresee or
prevent, have partially destroyed the
crops, and the natural consequences
are dull times, scarcity of money and
cry for imitation from persons who
teign to believe that the printing of
few millions of greenbacks by the
Government will repair the damage
sustained by farmers.

The Fatal Handkerchief.

A RUSSIAN PRINCE gave a grand
soiree in 1872. Among the guests
were the Spanish Count and Countess,
de Mello aud wife, and also the young
and popular Vicomte Gustave Lilo,
belonging to one Of Belgium's most
illustrious families. He was much
sought after, and the beautiful Count
ess Mello was proud to see that she
was making conquest of the young
officers affections. During the dane
ing, tete-a-tete was enjoyed in one of
the boudoirs; handkerchief with note
in it was secretly given to the officer,
and the lady fastened to join the
company. lie was met by her enraged
husband. she turned to the officer and
reached for the handkerchief. Lilo
drew back and said: this is not
yours" " Pardon me-" said the
Count, cit bears such a strong re-
semblance to that of my wife's, and
if hers, she must have given it to you"
You are mistaken" said Lilo; h" it
was not given to me - took It,"
1.-The handkerchief is worth 200 louis,
and if you took it you are thief"
was the retort.
The result was challenge and duel
arranged to take place next day. Dur
ing this dispute the Countess tainted
on the sofa. Two American officers
went as seconds for the Count, and the
antagonists met short distance from
Villefranche. At the first "pass "
Lilio's sword fell from his hand, the
saber of his adversary having pierced
him to the heart. He fell without ut.
tering work-dead. His second I"
in examining the wound found the
fatal handkerchief pierced by the sword
of Mello, and saturated with his
hearts blood. On this evidence a
divorce was asked for. but the highest
Court of Portugal has just denied it.

Seventy Pairs OF Hands.

The variety and number of needles
made in these days are wonderful ; the
surgeon, harness maker, book binder,
felt worker, saddler, glover, embrOid-
erer and housewife, each wanting z
needles of all shapes, and sizes, and
lengths. And when you think that
each needle has to pass through seventy
pair of hands before ii Is finished and
ready for use, you see what pains Is
taken to reach excellence in a very
small thing.
Seventy pairs of hands to make a
needle, and each pair necessary to
make the needle perfect. If only one
pair refused to do their part, the whole
would be failure-not needle would
be right.
You see it is painstaking in little
things and in small parts which leads
tC excellence and success We are apt
to slight bits of work, thinking it Is no
matter and of no account. But It Is
not so. The details of plan must be
faithfully carried out in order to make
the plan a success. If the parts of the
work are all well done, the whole will
be complete, and only then.
And 1t Is just so in making and
moulding character. 1t must be well
done in parts, faithfully finished in bits,
in order to make complete and beau
tiful whole.
Always be sure that all the small and
common work which yOu have 10 do is
thoroughly done. 1t is faithfulnesS in
little things which makes YOU reliable
in great things.

A Satfsffed Conscience.

I had Just got up and rung the bell fol-
some hot water for shaving. A waiter
answered my call.
"Iwant some hot water, if you please,

"And what do you want the hot wa

''For shaving" said l.

'tis said, and this aroused mine. i
thought that If | could arrange the

affect his religious scruples, he would
bring it directly. therefore proposed
that L should like some toddy, and told
him to bring me the materials for max
ing it, consisting of whiskey, sugar,
and boiling water. These he brought
without the least demur. L gave him
the wbiskey. which he drank, and |
used the hot water. So conscience was

SATURDAY EVENING.
By BULwER.


The week Is past the Sabbath dawn comes on
Rest-rest in pesce-thy toll is done;
And, standing as thou stsndest On the brink
Off new scene of being. calmly think
OF what is gone, is now and soon shall be
As one that trembles in eternity.
For such as this now closing week is past,
So much advancing time will close my last
Such as tomorrow shall the awful light
OF the eternal morn hail my sight
Spirit Of good on this weeks verge / stand,
Tracing the guiding influence Of thy handi
That hand which leads me gently, calmly still,
Up life's dark, stony, tirssome, thorny hill,
Thou. thou, in every storm hast sheltered me
Beneath the wing Of thy benignity;
A thousand graves my footsteps circuit vent,
And exist-thy mercy's monument;
A thousand writhe upon the bed Of pain,
live, and pleasure flows through every vein;
Want DER thousand wretches waves her wand
/ clrcled by ten thousand mercies stand
How can / praise thse, Father? how express
Ny debt of reverence and thankfulness?
A debt that no intelligence can count
While every moment swells the vast amount
For q weeks duties thou hast given me
strength,
And broughS me to its peaceful close at length
And here my grateful bosom vain would
raise
fresh memorial to thy glorious praise.

Diving.

The greatest depth to which a diver
can descend is about 100 feet, and for
this bunch of huidred-weights must
be disposed about his person. The
average depth at which he can work
comfortably is about 80 feet, which was
near the depth at which the operations
on the Royal George were conducted.
In winter at from 60 to 20 feet deep, the
men can work two hours at a time,
coming up for ten minutes rest, and
doing a days work of six or seven
hours. An English diver went down
in the Mediterranean to depth of 1865
feet, and remained there for twenty
five minutes; and Green inspected a
wreck in one of the great lakes at a
depth of 40 feet; but his experience
was enough TO convince him that he
could not work in it without danger of
life. AT this depth the pressure of the
water on the head is so great as to force
the blood to the head, and bring on
fainting fits, while the requisite volume
of air inside the dress to resist the out
ward pressure of the water is so great
that it would speedily suffocate.

FIRST EFFoRTs.-It Is curious to OBJ
serve the first efforts of the child to ex-
ercise his powers AMI his range of ex-
perience. He begins to manifest his in
nate wish to do something, and to con-
meet his little intelligence with things
around him, by inarticulate growing,
and by vague, unsteady motions of
limbs and body. His tiny fingers are
always busy. He soon exhibits curiosity,
and picks and prizes into everything.
His first attempts to walk are most awk-
ward, feeble, and ludicrous. His ac-
tivity is incessant. He rolls and
tumbles and babbles for hours together
After hundreds of falls he learns to
stand. How little control he has over
his own motions. He starts to go for
ward. and staggers backward or to one
side. His first attempts to uttsr words
are as wide of their aim as his first at
tempts to walk. He has no distinct
idea what he wants to do. His organs
of speech are Uniformed. He makes the
oldest approximation to correct articu-
latiOn. The strong tendency to initiate
everything he sees ana hears con-
tinually incites him to make new trials
of his powers. He mimics everything.
Almost the whole of primary education
is imitation. Therefore, what little
children need are good examples.

The Nameless Finger.

In the works of Mencius there occurs
a passage beginning thus: ''If mans
nameless finger be bent so that he can
not straighten it, although his bent
finger may cause him no pain, still, if
he hears of some one who can cure, he
will think nothing of undertaking a
journey from Tsin to Tsu to consult
him upon his deformed tinger.n Upon
this eXpressiOn-the nameless tinger-a
Japanese priest, in a sermon, which has
been translated by Mr.. Milford and
again by Mr.. O'Neil. thus comments:
The 'nameless finger is the finger next
to the little finger. Of the rest the
thumb is called the great finger: the
index finger is called the head finger
the longest is called the middle finger
and the smallest is known as the little
finger. The one next to it is the only
one which is without name. 1t is
true that the women call it the rouge
putting-On finger, but that is not gen.
eral name for it. Hence from the very
non-eXistence of a name it has acquired
a name-the nameless finger. And if
we ask why it has no name, the reply
is because it is wholly functiOnless.
We take hold of things with the thumb
and little finger; we scratch the head
with the first finger; We feel whether
wine is hot with the little finger. But
though all the other fingers have their
particular functions, the nameless finger
is alone useless

MANAGEMENT OF HOUSEHOLD
Young ladies, cut this out and pin it
on your bonnets mo young woman
ought to feel herself qualified to become
a wife until she is sure she understands
how to do the most that can be done
with her husbands money. The man
agement OF household is not thing
to be properly and safely intrusted to
hirelng hands. A servant is broken
reed for the head of family to lean
upon. There are thousand little ways
IN which money must be expended, in
which real shrewdness and enterprise
are requisite in order to use it to the
best advantage; and there are thou
sand others ways of saving money, open
only to those who have studied Alright
the art of economy. The Turkish pro-
verb has it that "a prudent woman is 3
mine of jewels, and, like many other
Oriental sayings, this Is beautiful for
the truth 1t embcdies. A wastful house
keeper not only actually robs those for
whom she undertakes to manage of the
comforts it is her duty to provide for
them, but keeps her husband head over
ears In debt, and makes the domestic
life OF poor man a continued series of
experiments IN shEnningit 1t from one day
to the next; in keeping the stomach
full, though the purse be empty"
