BE PATIENT.-Be patient to your friends.
They are neither omniscient nor omnipo-
tent. They cannot see your heart, and may
misunderstood you. They do not 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 II also they lack purity of purpose
and tenacity of affection; do not you also
lack these gracesH Patience is your ref
uge. Endure, and in enduring conquer
them, and if not them, at least yourself.
Above all be patient with your beloved.
Love is the best thing on the earth, but IL
Is to be handled tenderly, and impatience
is a nurse that kills it. Be patient with
your pains and cares. We know 1t il easy
to say and hard to do. But, dear child, 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. None Of them shall en-
ter the city Of God. A little while and you
shall leave behind you the whole troop OF
bowling troubles, and forget In your hrst
sweet hour Of rest that such thlngs were on
aArth.-MNfAOdisf.

Sending Portrait. by Telegraph

1t has often been said that the scie
teleRraphy is as yet in its infancy.
it will be when it reaches the age
ity il would be difficult TO say r.
tanty, but some idea may be foT ON
an extraordinary telegraphic very
Just made in Paris. II appears tnat some
inventor has found out the means of send
ing portraits by telegraph. The mOdus OPP
erdRdi has not yet been disclosed, but ex-
periments have been made, and-if we are
to believe the papers complete sue
cess. The trial was made by the police su-
thorilies of Paris and Lyons. The pori
trait of Lyons official was forwarded from
Paris by the new telegraphic apparatus,
aud at once recognized. In return the
Lyons police telegraphed TO Paris the por-
trait, accompanied by the usual descrip-
ton, of a clerk who had just absconded
with his masters money, and the Paris po-
lice, thanks to the telegraphic portrait,
we're enabled to arrest the thief on his
alightlng from the train at the Lyons rail-
way station. The facts are published on
the hest authority, and, incredible as 1t
may seem, are no doubt authentic. So far
the ingenious discovery is only being en-
ployed for the detection Of criminals, but il
is evident that the police authorities will
not be able TO monopolize it, and that II
will be turned to account by society al
large under the various trying circumstan-
ces OF life, and most especially in the cases
Of deserted wives and husbands, missing
heirs, disconsolate lovers, and similar in
teresting beings.-Paris Correspondence o.

Miscellany.

Another Year.
That this shall be better year
Than any passed away,
dare not at its open door
To wish or hope or pray.
Not that the years already gone
Were wearisome and lone;
That so with hope too long deferred
Ny heart has timid grown.
Nay, rather that they all have been
30 sweet to me and good,
That n for better I should ask
TTwould seem ingrAtitude.
And 90 with things far OF and strange
do not care to cope,
But look In memory's face and learn
What largess l may hope.
Another year Of setting suns,
OF stars BY night revealed,
OF Springing grass, Of tender buds
by winters snow concealed.
Another year OF summers glow,
OF autumn's gold and brown,
OF waving felds, and rudy fruit
The branches weighing down.
Another year Of happy work,
That better is than play;
OF simple cares, and love that grows
More sweat from day to day.
Another year Of baby mirth
And childhood'a blessed ways,
OF tbiDksrs thought and prophets dream
And poets tender lays.
Another year at boauty's feast,
Al every moment spread,
At silent hours when grow distinct
The voices Of the dead.
Another year 10 follow hard
where better souls have trod;
Another year Of hfe's delight,
Another year Of God.

THE Ex EMPRESS OF FRANCE.-Anne
Brewster got a peep at the ex-Empress
EUgenie in Rome The other day, and here
8 what she says about her: Not only her
m amer but her appearance was a terrible
shock TO me. i have not seen the Empress
of France for over twenty years. She was
th en- in the full brilliancy of her beauty,
yo urg wife, a young mother, and young
Empro-si Through oil these intervening
y ears OF her grandeur and vicissitudes
have never lost the memory of her rare
beauty. Whenever have thought of her
during these last years, l have pictured her
as quiet, handsome, melancholy widow,
dignfied and elegant. But no such agree
able parsonage appeared the other day.
She was dressed quietly enough, in a very
81 mple, ugly English black cloth costume.
The skirt was extremely short, without
fiUunce or any other trimming, except a
broad black braid. This costume had a
loug loose jacket, and she wore a simple
English hat of felt. Her feet we're trim,
aud she minced about on her toes and high
heels. But she was painted red and white
and black. Her eyes were darkened, and
also the eyebrows and eyelashes, and you
could see the paint on her lips. Then up
on her head was a reddish blonde wig.
"Why, she wears peruke ~ was the whis-
per among the hidden observers. There
was no mistake about 1t. You could see
t he peruke form in the front hair. This
false hair was waved over the forehead and
arranged in long tresses at the back. Her
head looked like a well-made- up barber's
block. In her hand she carried large
yellow cane Of the style of the coquettish
marquise canes of the days of Louis Quat-
orze. She carried it as a caprice, not as a
su pport, for she played and toyed with it,
p ointed at the pictures and twirled it about
in her hand.

and the ablest scholars in the United
States, from Professor Corson, OF Cornell
University. to Professor Hart, OF Princeton
took IN earnest part in the debate. The re-
suit was the destruction of the Baconian
theory. No finer analysis of such ques-
ton was ever known in American litera-
ture than that which our accomplished cor
respondents gave. The Baconian theory
was indeed the greatest literary curiosity of
modern times and it was killed by American
scholars, who thus rendered England a
service which she never could have per-
formed for herself. To-day we print an
article which does what the Centennial Ex-
hibition failed to do. The fine argument
of Mr.. Joseph Watson shows not only what
Shakespeare has done for America, but what
America has done for Shakespeare 1t re-
veals that here is his real home more than in
England, and cites English predictions and
French authorities in proof of the fact.
What the Centennial neglected to show in
these respects this article proves. 1t traces
the influence of Shakespeare from 1776 to
1876, and as an illustration of the develop
ment of the American stage we give 1t to our
readers.

A Good RIll.

A bill is before the State Legislature in
troduced by Mr.. Fish, of Putnam, which
proposes to put stop to on evil from which
many property owners in New York have
suffered at some time or another. 1t has not
been unusual for an owner to learn for the
first time of some improvement in which his
property is supposed to be interested
through the medium of a notice to payaa
heavy assessment, which has been in exist
ence for some time and to the original
amount of which twelve per cent interest
has been added as penalty for his involun-
tary default. Mr.. Fish proposes to
render this impossible in the future
by provision of law making it the
duty of the Clerk of the Common
Council, whenever an ordinance may be
passed directing any improvement, to i'm
mediately notify all property owners affected
thereby. The parties in interest are also
further protected by being entitled to q
hearing before the Board of Assessors,

Concentrating Trade at New York.
If it be true that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" it is equally SO that con-
slant effort is that of commercial prosperity.
Those who suppose that New York offers the
greatest attractions for trade, and that by a
law of gravitation peculiar to itself it
naturally flows toward our port, must not
forget that extraordinary efforts ore being
made elsewhere to draw commerce to other
lines. The active operations in progress
for the construction of new Welland
Canal may well cause our merchants some
anxiety as to the effect on the trade Of
New York. 1t is proposed to build such
navigable passage between lakes Erie and
Ontario and through Canadian territory
that grain vessels con load at Chicago and
unload at Liverpool without any transship-
ment or disturbance of their cargoes. When
this is made possible, as it is very likely to
be within two or three years, the probability
is that large amount of grain and lumber
from the West will find it's way to Europe
through the st. Lawrence River instead of
through American ports. It is necessary,
therefore, to offset the enterprise of the
Canadians by the vigorous exhibition of the
same qualities on the part of our own mer-
chants and legislators.
The canals which connect the great lakes
with the Hudson River and New York
should be quickly adapted to the growing
necessities of our trade. They should be
widened and deepened along their entire
length so rs to afford ample room for the
passage Of vessels carrying large cargoes.
Although this will entail O considerable
outlay, still the returns will come
one hundred fold in the increased
foliage paid by constantly growing
trade and in tho impetus given to a
highly important industry. New York city
pays large proportion of the State taxes,
and would bear her own share of the cost OF
an improvement which would render her
still more prosperous. Considerations OF
economy should not be permitted in this
case to delay for q moment work that is
vitality necessary to the greatness and pros
perity of the metropolis. Unless we concen-
trate trade in New York by increasing the
facilities for transportation and expectation
we cannot hope to maintain our supremacy
over our enterprising rivals.

LIVING UP TO HIS REPUTATION. The Spitz
dog has done it again. The victim this
time was o new born infant. too small to de-
fend itself and too weak to cry, SO tho dog
bit it and then sat down, with the calm con-
seriousness of having fulfilled, his family
destiny, to contemplate the result of his
labors. Of course the dog will be de-
Tended; the poor innocent wears such o
heavy white overccat and the weather is SO
much warmer than usual that he had to re-
lieve his feelings in some way. But If the
overcoat of the Spitz fits so tightly why not
ventilate the dog himself? A very small
bullet will do it.

work from Both Ends.

Fifty or more subjects for sermons were
announced in the public prints of Saturday
and yesterday, and they were doubtless
discussed in the pulpit to the edification
OF thousands of Christians. Looking over
these lists of medicines for souls, however,
it is impossible not to see that they were
appropriate to those who were whole rather
than to the sick. The successful physician
often sighs to think of what a glorious effect
certain remedies would have if only the
patient could and would take them but
his own preferences make him none the
less careful to give only what tho sick
mans nature can assimilate The physician
of souls wouldsdo we'll to act upon the same
principle The Christian faith has worked
marvels in turning bad men from the errors
of their ways; but there are hosts of people
as we'll worth reforming as any one else
who have no taste for formulated Christian
ity and yet are willing to be urged to lead
better lives. What does the pulpit do for
this class The churches claim with cons
siderable reason that they are the custodi-
ans of most, moral reforms Why are the
literal discussions Of them generally con-
fined to vestry rooms and special
week day meetings? Temperance, char
ity, honesty, truthfulness, chastity and
noble array of other virtues need to be
talked of simply, frequently and urgently
in every pulpit in the land, instead of being
left, as they generally are, to the chance lee
turer and novelist. The needs of the wicked
and not the tastes of the righteous should
determine the utterances of the preacher
with more frequency than they do. To
spring to the top round of a ladder and work
downward is noble feat of vaulting but
the masses are not equal to it; it is hard
enough for them to climb round by round
from the bottom. Work from both ends of
the spiritual ladder and there will bo q
chance for everybody.
The New York herald., 1877-02-12

should they so desire, before the improve
ment can be made. This is so just and
necessary measure that it should be sep
arated from the other provisions in Mr.
Fish's bill, some of which are of question
able expediency, and be suffered to stand on
its own merits AS distinct bill there
could be no opposition to its passage, and
in the interests of the real estate owners OF
the city it ought at once to become law.

THE WEArHER.-A very decided fall of tenn
perature is observable in the region westward Of
the Allegheny Mountains. In the Northwest
Yesterday morning the temperature Mt Pembina
was five degrees below zero, and only rose to
zero during the afternoon. This sudden change
il due to the advance Of an area Of very high
pressure from the Northwest and following
closely on the depression now moving over the
lake region. The differences of pressure within
n comparatively small area Of territory have
caused strong and high winds at several points
No precipitation, however, attends the low ba-
rou,etcr, except light rain at Omaha. Cloudy
weather prevails through the Mississippi Valley
and over the lake region. In other districts the
skies are clear or slightly clouded. depression
is evidently moving eastward from the Rocky
Mountains over New Mexico, Arkansas and the
Indian Territory which may be attended by
heavy rains and followed by floods. Another is
probably developing southwest Of Florida The
Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi have fallen, ex-
ecpt the last named, ut Cairo, where slight
rise is reported. The weather in New York to-
day will be warmer and partly cloudy or clear,
followed BY colder and hay Or cloudy westhsr.
