OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

If the amusements Of New York, this
season, do not appeal to the intellect, they
certainly have much to do with the human
understanding, for they all run to legs
The ballet having been in allegiance for sew
eral years, has appeared more glorious than
ever. No performace is considered CON-
plete without a course Of tights and short
skirts, Even Mr.. DAILY, who has kept his
bGou Of a theatre sacred to society plays,
has found it necessary to yield to the pre-
vailing taste, and even turn one Of his best
comedians, Mr.. Lewis, into ballet dancer,
who appears under the heart-rending title
of Mile. Bartoletti Jimisini Lewisett. But
to tell the truth, he dances very we'll and
the quidnunes are exercised in mind as to
whether he has taken lessons specially for
the performance or got the knaok'of it ly
intuition. There are those who mourn over
the transformation of a comic actor of re-
markable talent into burlesque performer
like those who appear at the minstrel halls.
The production in which he appears, which
is called on the bill comedy, but which is
in fact, farce, has in it two characters,
which are destined to a long life. The one
by Mrs. Gilbert, Is that of the mother-in-
law Of the comic papers, who here shows
what fit subject she is Of the inexhausti-
bic jokes that have been made about her.
The other, by Miss Mary Wells, is in the
part of Mary Ann, Irish cook and virago.
such as is the terror Of many a household.
There is violent fued between Mary Ann
and the mother-in-law, which ends with
the former leaving the house and taking
service elsewhere. But the victory ct the
esd is with cookie.
OF the ballets, Sardanapalus is manifest
ly the finest, and next in point Of interest
is ''Baba, at Niblo's. These various leg
entertainments are abundsutly Patronized

POWER OFTHEPl Plkrss, ).
A handsome tribute from MIR. Glad
stOnes

Against the dark background of eastern
horrors some impressive and luminous facts
are defined which are not unlikely to pass
into the world-history. One of the facts
Was suggested by Mr. Gladstone in his
great speech at Blackheath on Saturday,
when he said:
"A very important witness has come in
to the field. His report, l must say, pro-
duced the most marked impression on my
mind, in convincing me that the time had
come when for me, as one of the authors of
the CriRean war, the responsibility of long
er silence was too great to be borne. l
mean the United States Commissioner, the
Consul in COnstantinople, who represents
nation that we rejoice to call our brethren,
and whose personal character and trust
worthiness, as l have taken pains to ascer-
tain, are worthy Of the office he holds and
OF the people whom he serves"
1t Was further suggested when he spoke
in honor of the correspondents of the Daily
NesCs. Both of these illusions brought out
cheers, and the mention Of Mr.. Schuyler
brought out prolonged an Yociferous cheers.
As the orator thus spoke and the vast
throng cheered, there arose before me the
faces Of three young men whom | have met,
and whose pleasant and intellectual and
social qualities have rendered them always
welcome in their circle. Few. however,
could have ever looked upon those young
men as figures of destiny. Schuyler has
long been known to us as a clever writer. a
good consul, and an admirable linguist;
Hilary Skinner, Forbes and Mackhahan as
enterprising newspaper men; further, they
were ''clubbable" and unassuming. But
the moment has arrived when Cabinet Min
listers draw back into their officia shells,
and statesmen know not what to do or say,
and these four young men step forward to
determine the destinies of Europe and in
fuence the history of the human race.
Regardless of priyation and danger, they
have pursued the wolf track of Turkish
barbarism and photographed its horrors
and brought them before the eyes of the
whole world. They have been the means
of awakening moral sentiment and human
indignation which now cOnfronts fanati-
cism and cruelty with unappeasable wrath,
irresistible force. BY their pen they have
done what the Servian sword could never
do; they have scared the Ottoman Empire
frOmitS only stay and support in Europe.
Mr. Gladstone's tribute to Eugene Schuyler
and the prolonged cheers that followed it,
were reflected too on America-0n that
Nation which is now determining the des-
tiny of the New World by force of the press,
and free speech and the suffrage of free
men, while the monarchies can only stand
by and see their, half of the world still
dragged by the blind brute forces of saw
agery and slaughter.

A RrIght HOr.e and a STUPID One

The Boston Journal relates the following:
HAmong the many horses owned by the
Highland Street Railroad Company IS one
who used to give the hostlers a deal OF
trouble by slipping his halter and roaming
at will about the stable. The halter was
on each occasion buckled on as tightly as
possible, but to no purpose, for the horse
would invariably be found half an hour af-
forwards making a dignifed tout OF the
stable. This became monotonons to the
hostler. and he determined to ascertain the
plodus operandi by which his equine friend
secured his liberty, Again the halter was
tightly buokled on, and taking seat where
he could watch his troublesome charge, he
awaited developments. Pretty soon
horse who stood beside the troublesome
one was observed to poke his nose into his
neighbor's stall, and catching the end OF
the halter strap between his teeth, he pull
ed at it. His first, second and third at
tempts to unloose the buckle were unavalI-
ing. but with remarkable perseverance the
horse returned to his work repeatedly, and
finally out dropped the buckle tongue, the
throat strap fell, and the horse OF lnqulsl-
tive mind was saap stalking about the
stable AGAIN. A change of location was
of course necessary. A large, homely, pie
bald, gelding, owned by this company,
used to manifest a strange regard for
white mare he formerly worked beside. In
the stable he was hitched with rope halter
and, until chain was substituted, he
used to gnaw of his halter, march deliber-
ately to the stall occupied by his mate, and
squeeze himself into the same stall, which
was only large enough to accommodate one
horse comfortably, and a good deal of ef-
fort was required to separated the equlneS:.
after they had become wedged in so closely. .

BE parIent in alIthlngs.

Be patient with your friends. They are
neither omniscient nor QmnipOtent. They
cannot see your heart and may misunder-
stand you. They cannot know what is
best for you, and may select what is worst.
Their arms are short and they may not be
able to reach what you ask. What if they
also lack purity of purpose and tenacity OF
affection; do you not also lack these graces
Patience is your refuge. Endure; and, en-
during, conquer them; and if not them,
then at least yourself. Above all be pa
tient with YOUR beloved. Love is the best
thing on earth, but it is to be handled ten
derly, and impatience is a nurse that kills
it.
Be patient with your pains. and cares.
We know it is easy to say and hard to do.
But you must be patient. These
things are killed by enduring them, and
made strong to bite and sting by feeding
them with your frets and fears. There is
no pain or care that can last long. A little
while, and you shall leave The whole troop
of bowling troubles behind, and forget in
YOUR first sweet hour of rest that such
things existed on earth.
Be patient with your deferred hopes.
The heart is sick, no doubt, but SICK hearts
must take the tonic of patience. All that
is worth hoping for viii come. The hoFe
itself is put in peril by impatience that
weakens and prostrates your strength. Here
also you have no better resort than patience.
You will reach next year just as soon by
taking it quietly; the end of your prePara-
tion for life's work-your apprenticeship or
college course-wil come Of Itself. The
end Of all your labor is not far beyond, and
need not be sighed for or impatiently ex-
pected. Clad in patience you walk IN
visible armor against which temptations to
repine and murmur fall harmless, Put on
patience against your hungry hope.
Be patient with yourself. YOu are full
of faults aud your life abounds in blunders.
Do not lash yourself sore with self-debase-
ment. Some confidence in Yourself IS
needful to your success. Methodist

Huxley on NIagara.

l know it is thought very often that men
of science are in the habit Of drawing from
their inauguration, but it is really not so:
The most soter, careful consideration oil
facts forces upon you more and more de-
terminedly the conviction that the theory
respecting which we have this arch@ologi-
cal evidence Of period Of the past history
of the world is of a duration which, in
comparison with our human standard, may
he regarded as almost absolutely infinite.
Take, for example, the case of the cata-
ract Of Niagara. The Niagara river has
formed its own valley, has cut ITS way
back through the plateau of rock from
which it falls for some six miles. Now, the
rate at which that work is going on has
not been positively gscartained, but we may
ha certain that the work of cutting back
does not go on at the rate of yard year.
We have six miles of such cutting which
will bring you to period of ten thousand
years for the cutting back Of Niagara

FAREWELL TO SUMNER.
BY GEORGE ARNoLp.

Summer is failing; the broad leaves tina
grew
So freshly green when June was young
are falling;
And all the whispered-haunted fores
through
The restless birds in saddened tones ar,
calling,
From rustling hazel copse and tangled dell
! Farewell. sweet summer,
Fragrant, f. ty summer,
Sweet fgrewelir'
Upon the windy hills, in many field,
The honey-becs hum low above the clover,
Cleaning the latest sweets its blooms may
yied,
And knowing that their harvest time is
Sing, half lullaby and half ii knell:
Farewell, sweet summer,
Honey-laden summer.
Sweet summer"
The little bronx that babbles mid the ferns,
Ger twisted roots and sandy shadows
playing,
Seems fain 10 linger in its eddied turns,
And with a plaintive, Purling voice is
saying,
Sadder and swceter than my song can tell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet FAREWELL"
The ftful breeze sweeps down the winding
lane,
With gold and crimson leaves before it
flying:
It's gu,ty laughter has no sound of pain,
But in its lulls it sinks to gentle signing,
And mourns no summers early brUhen
SPELL
"Farwell, sweet summer.
Rosy, blooming summer,
Sweet farewell!'
So bird and breeze and brook and breeze
makemOan
With melancholy song their loss COM
planning;
], too, must join them. as I walk alone
Among the sights and sounds of sum-
mer waning;
I. too, have loved the season passing well,
So farewell, summer,
Fair, but faded summer.
Sweet furewell!''

alone 1t would be nearer probability if
said three or four times that amount.
What relation does a period Of that time
bear TO the vast duration expressed by
these vast lodges of strata which form the
globe? In relation to our duration of time
that ten thousand years, or whatever else
it may have been, is but an infnitesimal
fragment of time, so far as the great phe-
nomena of the globe are concerned. Dur
ing that vast time the population of the
glo3e has undergone a slow, constant and
gradual change, one species giving way to
another. We have passed by slow and
gradual methods, without vast and sudden
changes, into that state of things which OBJ
tam at present. ] need not say that this
view Of the past history of the globe is a
very different one from that which is gen-
orally taken. 1t is so widely different That
it is utterly impossible to effect any kind
of community, any kind of parallel, far
less any sort of reconciliation, between
these two. One of these is true; the other
is not.

thousand such cars. The passengers who
don't happen to sit in the corner seats gen
orally get out through the window. so that
before throwing the can away, the man has
a choice of seats on both sides with the
privilege, as far as the conductor is con-
cerned, of putting both cushions on one
side, and lying down, with his feet cooked
up on the indicator. Another pleasant and
efficient method is to label small valise
marked Savannah, and carry it with the
labelled side out, assuming, meanwhile, a
distorted expression of countenanee, as
though the symptoms were approaching a
crisis. This plan is rather more genteel
than the oyster can method and operates
with equal suddenness.

The Japanese Rite of ssFIOwIng Inv o.
A<t cafiOn.o

Sometimes in the cities, but very fre-
quently in country places, one will see by
| the side of a spring or rivulet a square of
cotton cloth suspended by sticks at the
four corners, in such a way as to form a
basin. Upon the cloth is written name
and the invocation, Manu- n1iO hO rem ge
kiO-'sGlory to the salvation-bringing
Scriptures. Near by, perhaps in the hOl-
low of the CLOTH Is wooden diper, and by
it stands an upright lath, notched at the
top, and inscribed with a brief legend in
Sanskrit characters. Ever and anon a
passer by, most likely woman, will pause,
offer up prayer, pour dipper full of wa
ter into the hollow of the cloth and wait
till every drop has strained through, all
the while murmuring prayers. In almost
all Eastern faiths there is something Of
impurity connected with birth and death.
The newly made mother must be purified /;
a corpse is impure, and transmits its un-
cleanness to any one who touches it. When
death and birth come together, as when
a woman dies in childbirth, the impurity IS
intensified. 1t is a sure token that the
mother has in some former cycle of exist
ence committed some awful transgression,
and is now suffering for it in some fearful
metempsy Ghosts, from which she cannot be
released until her spirit has been purified
from this mortal stain. The Glowing in
vocation" is vicarious rite of lustration,
and is accomplished only when the cloth is
worn out so that the waterno longer drains,
but falls through at once. Then the freed
spirit rises to higher cycle of existence.
Like Catholic masses for the dead, it is a
touching rite, whatever we may think of
its efficasy. ''But, says Mr.. Grifis, tthe
cotton cloth inscribed with the name of
the deceased, to be efficacious, can be pur-
chased only at the temples. 1t is no secret
that rich people are able to secure a napkin
which when stretched but few days will
rupture and let the water through at once.
The poor man can only get the stoutest and
closest woven fabric; the rich mans nap
kin is scraped thin in the middle"
