Who is She.

"A Nv asnlngton correspondent OF Tue
New Orleans Times says: wv
Aa camoN up the avenue this
morning ! noticed at fashionable
jcweiry establishment very neat
ph@ton drawn by a suporb pair OF
browns. also noted the fair mis-
tress, who was dainty descending, as
q woman 10 be observed. Nothing
could be in better ton than her entire
equipage. Her, dress was one in,
which the quietest tints blended in
perfect accord. The delicate hat
could never have been fabricated
outside of the world's gay capital,
Paris, and it seemed only happy
accident when the wanton wind
blowing too rudely, swept aside the
dress for moment and revealed q
foot to wear the slipper of Cinder-
ella, and an ankle rivalling in beauty
and delicacy the swift footed Allan
ta's own. Very quiet and demure
was the face, in which there was no
color, nor remarkable beauty, save
pair OF lovely eyes. Which were OF
soft brown changing sometimes to a
dark gray. The low, trainante voice
was one to remember, for it seemed
ladened with cadence of a sad
heart. Yot, under the influence of
these eyes, men old enough to have
wisdom, if gray hairs could bring
it, have forgotten wives, honor, all,
and bowed themselves in tho dust. II
lost hopes and ruined homes could
kill, this woman could rear a pyra-
mid to her conquests higher than
Timour the Tartcrs monument of hu''
man skulls. In spite of her attrac>
tive exterior the man Of tho world
should soon become aware of the
absence Of the je ne sails quot, which
is the born heritage Of good blood
and lineage; find them where You
may. This is no venial venus, only
the lobby queen. She lives quietly
here, keeping handsome rooms,
through whose postals the names
which have for years been part of the
nations history are too frequently
sent. She has an ample fortune,
made in Credit Mobilier, Pacific
Mail, and kindred devices for rob-
bing the nations Golfers. Yet, with
youth, money and marvellous fascina.
ton, she is doomed to wander up and
down the earth, with brand upon
her as enduring and interchangeable as
the mark Of Cain. Few women will
Immediately seek dishonor, but this
one must have done 80. A wife once
with the best love of chivalric de-
votion, high social position and
historic name. All these she cast
from her for man utterly worthless
and without even specious advan-
tage of handsome face and bearing.
One would have thought that the
contrast between this worthless roue
and tho gallant gentleman whose life
she wickedly wrecked was 80 great
that if honor and honesty held their
peace, worldly prudence would have
spoken in trumpet tonos. But it
boots not talking Of this. 1t is the
story of Perdita, with modern adap-
tion. If history repeats itself, even
in like manner does romance. 1t is
the ancient story Of "The Lost One,'
with modern improvement, and not
OF the dark ages, but in this virruoua
and Christian 10tn century.

HYMN TO THE NIGHT


heard the trailing garments of the Night
Sweep through her marble halls
saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
From the celestial walls
felt her presence, by its spell Of might
Stoop Ger me from above
The calm, majestic presence of the night,
AS Of the one love.
heard the sounds of sorrow and delight,
The manifold, soft chimes;
They filled the haunted chambers OF the Night
Like some old poets rhymes.
From the cool cisterns Of the midnight air
My spirit drank repose;
The fountain of perpetual peace flows there,
From these deep csterns flows.
Oh, holy Night from thee learn 10 bear
What man has borne before!
Thou layest thy finger on the lips Of Care,
And they complain no more.
Peace Peace Orestes-like l breathe thi
prayer
Descend with broad winged fight
The welcome the thrice pray ed for, the mos
fair,
The frsl-beloved night

The Moon and the Weather.

The notion that the moon exerts an
influence on weather is so deeply rooted,
that Notwithstanding all the attacks
which have been made against it since
meterology has been seriously studied,
it continues to retain its hold upon us.
And yet there never was popular SUI
persttion more without basis than this
one. Ii the moon did really possess any
power over weather, that power could
only be exercised in one of three ways
by reflections of the suns rays, by at
traction. or by emanation, No other
form of action is conceivable. Now, as
the brightest light of a full moon is never
equal in intensity or quantity to that
which is reflected toward us BY white
cloud on II summer day, it can scarcely
be pretended that weather is affected by
such cause That the moon does ex-
it working in the tides; but though it eau
move water, it most unlikely that it
can do the same to air, for the specific
gravity of the atmosphere is so small
that there is nothing to be attracted
Laplace calculated, indeed, that the joint
attraction Of the sun and the moon
together could not stir the atmosphere
at quicker rate than five miles a day.
As for lunar emanations, not sign of
them has ever been discovered. The
idea Of an influence produced by the
phases Of the moon is therefore based on
no recognizable cause whatever. Fur
thermorc, it is now distinctly shown
that no variations at all ready occur in
weather ut the moment Of the changes of
quarter, any more than at ordinary
times. Since the establishment Of mete
geological stations all over the earth, it
has been proved by millions Of obserya-
tons that there is no sinultaneousness
whatever between the supposed cause
and the supposed effect The whole story
is fancy and superstition which has
been handed down to US uncontrolled,
which we have accepted as true because
our forefathcrs believed it. The. moon
exercises no more influence on weather
than herrings do on the government of
Switzerland

How A WOMAN READS A NEWSPAPER,
Somebody says that one who will
watch woman read newspaper will
get some IDEAS on the characteristics of
the gentler sex She takes it up hur-
riedly and begins to scan it over rapidly,
as though she was hunting some partcu-
lar thing, but she is not. She is merely
taking in the obscure paragraphs which
she half believes were put in the out-of-
the-way places for the sole purpose Of
keeping her from seeing them. As she
finishes each one her countenance bright
ems with the comforting reflection that
she has outwittcd the editor and the
whole race of men, for she chcrshes u
vague belief that newspapers arc the
enemies Of her sex, and editors its chief
oppressors
She never reads the headlines, and
the huge telegraph heads she never even
sees. She is greedy for local news, and
devours it with the kecnest relish. Mar
riagcs and deaths are always interesting
reading to her, and advertisements arc
exciting and stimulating She cares but
little for printed jokes, unless they re-
feet ridicule upon the men, and then
she delights in them and never forgets
them. She pays particular attention
to anything inclosed by quotation marks,
aud considers it rather better authority
than anything FIRST handed. The columns
in which the editor airs his opinion in
loaded hifalutin she rarely reads. Views
are of no Importance in her estimation.
but facts arc everything. She generally
reads the poetry. She doesn't always
care for it, but she makes practice Of
reading, because she thinks she ought to.
She reads stories, and sketches, and
paragraphs Unfortunately. and believes
every word Of them. Finally, after she
has read all she intends to. she lays the
paper down with an air Of disappointment,
and half contemptuoas gesture, which
says very plainly that she thinks all
newspapers miserable failures, but is
certain that If she had chance she
could make the only perfect newspaper
the world has ever seen.
