SUNNY ROOMS MAKE SUNNY LIVES. Let us take the airiest, choicest and sunniest room in the house for our living room the workshop where brain and body are built up and renewed. And let us there have a bay window, no matter how plain in structure, through which the good twin angels of fnatuRe-sunlight and pure air can freely enter. s..3i #f-#
 This window shall be the poem of the house. 1t shall give freedom and scope for eye and mind. We shall hang no pic. lures on our walls that can compare with the living and everlasting pictures which God shall paint for us through our ample window. Rosy dawns, golden hearted sunsets. the tender green and changing tints of spring, the glow of summer, the pomp of autumn, the white of winter, storm and shine, glimmer and gloom-all these we eau have and enjoy while we sit in our sheltered room as the changing years roll on. a1aI
 Dark rooms bring depression of spirits imparting sense of confinement, of iso- lation, of powerlessness, which is chilling to energy and vigor; but in light is good cheer.
 Even in gloomy house. where walls and furniture are dingy and brown, you have but to take down the heavy curtains open wide the window. hang brackets on either side, set flower pots on the brack cts and ivies in the pots, and let the warm sun stream freely in, to bring health te our bodies and joy to our souls.

imprisoned In Westmin ster
 Abbey.

When Dr. Buckland was Dean of Vest minister the lately deceased Dr. Rimbault applied to him for permission to make ex- tracts from the registers of the Abbey, in order to ascertain the dates of admission and of the decease of some of the eminent men who had been on the establishment at Westminster. The difficulty which presented itself to the deans Haind was, that it would be too great a tax upon his own time to want while the extracts were being made, and that he could not give up the keys of the imminent room to any person. Still he desired to oblige In all cases of literary research, and, therefore, offered to take Dr. Rimbault into the room and leave him there, to be let out at any appointed time. The proposal was particularly agreeable to Dr. Rimbault, as he could then work without interruption
 Thinking that about three hours would suffice, and as he diDed at an early hour, he appointed l o'clock. The dean was not punctual, and the doctor worked on. At 3 o'clock the latter felt the want of his dinner, his extracts were finished and he wished only to he gone. "What could have detained the dean?" But no Step was to be heard. The evening service soon began, and at length the last peal of the organ had faded away, and all was quiet. It then became evident that Dr. Rimbault was forgotten; and how long was this to last? Before daylight had quite passed away he had surveyed his position, and found that he was in a trap from which it was impossible to extricate himself. He could neither scale the win- dow nor make himself heard. He was quite at the mercy of the deans memory, for he had not told any one where he was going, because he expected to return home within a few hours. "Would his disappearance be advertised. and would the dean see it, and when?" Dr. Rlm- bault had none of the bodily fat which is said to support life under long periods of fasting, and the last was, therefore, an important question with him. "When would the imminent room be next visi- ted?' That was indeed remote contln- gency; so that, like Ginevra in the chest which had closed over her with a spring lock, nothing but hrs skeleton might then be found. From these uncomfortable reflections Dr. Rimbault was released late at night. He had drawn together some parchments to recline upon, but not to sleep, wheu as last a key was heard in the door. The good dean had gone home to dinner and had taken his siesta, after which he commenced ruminating on the events of the day. and then at last thought of his prisoner. He returned to the Alb. bey at some inconvenience, and set him free with many apologies. Dr. Rimbault's ardor to be shut up in imminent room had then quite cooled.

wv,r vrTzocsrop1prss DO An @

WHAT THE LocAL PAPERS Do. An ex- change combats, with desirable vigor, the argument that the city papers are cheap CT and better than the country papers be- cause they give more columns of reading matter for the money. Do the city pa- pers, it asks, ever give you any home news? Do they say anything in regard to your own locality? Nothing. Do they contain notices of your schools, churches. meetings, improvements and hundreds of other local matters of interest. which your paper publishes without pay? Not an item. Do they ever say 8 word calculated to draw attention to your country and its numerous thriving towns, and aid in their progress aud enterprise? Not a word. And yet there are men who take such con. tracted views of the matter that unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter inFheir own paper as they do in city. paper. they think they are not getting the worth of their money. It reminds us of a person who took the lar gest pair of boots in the box, simply be- cause theyoos ost the same as the pair much smaller that fitted him.

Mount Ararat has been successfully as- cended by an Englishman-Mr. Bryce, of Lincoln's inn London. This is believ- cd to be the third or fourth ascent, the first having been made by Parrot in 1884, and the second by Abich in 1850. The 17,212 feet in height, and the last 4, ,OOO feet had to be climbed alone, the Cossack escort refusing to go further. The Arme- nians of the neighborhood believe the mountain to be inaccessible, and insist that Noah's Ark still exists npon the sum- init.

 Gymnastic exercises for young ladies have been the custom for some time in number of educational establishments Ill Germany, and compulsory in all the up- per town schools for girls at Berlin. This system is now extended, since October l. to all the communal schools for girls in the German capital. Some opposition has for years been attempted on the part of mothers :; but the movement for the better physical education of the female sex is now spreading. At present, in spite of the obligatory character of gymnastics nearly one half of the girls still obtain dispensation from it through certificates granted at the instance of the mothers.
 A public display Was held a few days ago at Berlin in the Gymnastic Hall of the town, by one of the educational es- exercises were performed with great pre- cision and elegance. Between the various parts of the program the girls sang patri- otic songs. An agitation is being set on foot now, in connection with the Pestaloz- zi Society. for holding similar displays at regular intervals, as part of the pub lie school system.
 There are some very cheap railroads to be bought up now, The Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy railroad has just bean bought for $1, 75O, 900 in currency, rail- road has 572 miles long, and on which there was bonded debt originally of $9,- coo, ,OOO. The Frankfort bondholders fore closed and took the road (the St. Louis, Rock Island and Chicago), and have now sold it to the Quincy road. and received a gold draft for the amount. The accumu- lated and unpaid interest would amount to double what they got back. On the other hand, the Quincy road gets for less than s65oc per mile a property which it tracks. and which another $10O0 per mile will put in very fair condition. This makes the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy the second largest mileage opera tor in the West, controlling 1870 miles, the northwestern railroad being the first
