Bismarck's OratOry.

If the sole object of political oratory
were to produce immediate effect, Prince
Bismarck might be pronounced the most
successful orator alive. From the day
when, in his famous "blood and iron"
speech, he stood revealed to Europe as a
new force with which nations had to
reckon, he cannot be said to have made q
speech, which, for the object he had in
view-that object not being always to
convince his audience in the Chamber
has been entirely unsuccessful, and he
has repeatedly earned triumph of the
most exciting sort. He is, in fact, by
far the most effective speaker in the
German Parliament-can crush an adj
versary with a sentence, or with n
peroration, can bring a majority to its
feet, foaming with applause. Clear and
vehement in utterance with one high
oratorical faculty-that of condensing a
policy into laundering epigram trans
latable into languages--he shares with
the Younger Pitt the power Of weighing
his speeches with facts known only to
himself, and letting out secrets where
needful, which tell like shells as they
drop into an advancing column. His
utter plainness, his vehement courage
so opposed to the reticence of most of.
fetal speakers-his terrible frankness
whether real or assumed, and the ex-
ceptional position which makes of his
words acts, all combine to give him an
ascendency which sometimes seem to
carry the majority out Of ITSELF till they
arc ready, like some horde after victory,
to raise him on their shields and pro-
nounce him king of men, London
Telegraph.

PlymOuth Pictures.

When Theodore Tilton revealed in the
Brooklyn Court, the other day, the fact
that he had found secreted among his
wiie's treasuses, after she left his house,
photographs of the Rev Mr.. Beecher
taken in one day, by one artist, but in
seven different poses, he was, perhaps
innocently and unmaliciously, giving a
fresh exposition OF conspicuous weak
ness of the man that he declares to have
injured him. That weakness is personal
vanity, which has been fostered by the
women who have worshiped him in
Plymouth Church, under the idea that
they were worshiping God. The photo
graphs of Mr.. Beecher have been in such
demand among these women, that he has
been willing sitter to perhaps hundred
different artists, all of whom were glad to
give him an unlimited supply of his por-
traits gratis, and to each of whom he
presented himself in perhaps seven differ
cnt poses, according to the desire of the
artist.
To many people, sitting for a photo
graph is more of a torture than sitting
for tooth-drawing, for in the latter one
can take the laughing-gas, and soon be
through Will Jne mlscTy. DuJ MI.
Bcecher,, Mr.. Tilton and others of the
actors in this Brooklyn vileness seem to
have had a passion for being photo
graphed, and they appear in the shop
windows of New York and Brooklyn in
infinitely various positions. The illus
trated papers have printed dozens of
portraits of all of them, in as many differ
ent positions, all from photographs And
the vulgar obscene versions of them and
of the other dranaatis persone, which have
been prepared for exhibition in bar-rooms,
gambling hells, brothels, and other
haunts of vice, arc equally numerous,
judging from the talk of hotel offices,
billiard rooms and other such resorts,
where talks free, and where even decent
men are sometimes smomentarily detained
when traveling.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

How to Select Gems.

There is beautiful superstition, which
originated, we believe, in Poland, with
regard to the choice of gems for wearing.
1t is that the month of the nativity OF
every individual has a mysterious con-
nectiOn with some one Of the known
precious stones. Hence the propriety in
the selection of presents or for wear, of
the adoption of those jewels belonging to
the month which fate is imagined to have
made significant. To illustrate: one
born in the month of January, should
wear Garnet or Jacynth-thOse stones
being understood to belong in their fated
character to that month.
We subjoin the list, showing every
month, promising that, while it may not
be new to all. we presume there are lady
readers who would like to have it in a
complete form, as "handy in the house."
January-Jacynth or Garnet. Con-
stancy and fidelity in every engagement.
February-Amethyst. Thismonth and
stone preserve mortals from passion and
insure them peace of mind.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Courage and
success in dangers and hazardous enter
prises.
April-Sapphire and Diamond. Re-
pentance and innocence.
May-Emerald. Success in love.
June-Agate. Long life and health.
July-COrnelian or Ruby. The forget
fulness or cure of evils springing from
friendship or love.
August-Sardonyx. Congenial fell
city.
September-Chrysolite. Preservesfrom
or cures folly.
October-Aqua-marine or Opal. Mis-
fortune and hope.
November-Topaz. Fidelity and
friendship.
Observation-Disclosures or Malakite.
The most brilliant success and happiness
in every CIRCUMSTANCE of life; the Tur-
quoise has also the property of securing
friendly regard as the old saying that
"He who possesses a Turquoise will al
ways be sure of friends"

I'm THE WOODS.

IN THE WOODbs
In the woods when the young leaves budding
Whispered the spring-time near,
When the spirit was light
As the sunbeams bright,
And fancy's sky was clear;
When the young birds song
Woke an echo long
As the hopes that the heart held dear.
In the woods when the summers glory
Was wreathed In Hight and shade,
Through each leafy bough
Clearer sunshine now
With fuller lustre played,
And sweet silence bent
With q glad content
Der the hush that fulfillment made.
In the woods when the leaves were dropping,
Down dropping one by one
As the hopes that fade
In autumnal shade,
And droop ere their day Is done,
And weary of life,
And weary of strife,
Sink down to the rest they have won.
In the woods when the winter hoary
Has spread his snowy pail
Der a lifeless past
That is laid at last
Where the night-dews softly fall,
Where the moon shines fair
Through the branches bare,
And the heavens are over all

A traveller gives the following as the only cor
rect mode OF eating oranges You must cut the
yellow skin off carefully at night, leaving the
white pocket inside whole. Cut off the head of
the orange, leaving small raw spot exposed. Set
the oranges out of doors so that the dew may fall
on them, and in the morning the white skin will
be tough and juice-tight. At the breakfast-table
grasp your orange with a napkin as you would a
newly boiled egg, and as you eat an egg through
its broken shell, so press the juice Of your orange
through its outer rind. Squeeze every drop into
the mouth. Serve another orange, and still an
other in the same way. And so keep on squeez-
ing and sucking, and sucking and squeezing. The
more orange juice you swallow the better for the
stomach, the blood. and the entire man. No one
need be afraid to thus dispose of dozen oranges
before breakfast. An exchange wants TO know
how many oranges We should find in the morning
after setting them out over night for dew bath !
