An American in Distress.

in the Boston journal, but | did meet
one day before yesterday. He came up
to me on the Rue Scribe, where if you
are not an American you are supposed to
be, as nearly every Office on it is in some
way connected with Yankee trade, and
observing me sharply, he said

Iproudly acknowledged that l was a

he could put his despaling question.

A Wny They Have.

"How many thumbs ?" smilingly asks
the sitting-room carpet, looking up at
its colleague, the battered stove-pipe.
With wink in its disiointed elbow the
stove pipe, riveting its gaze on its friend,
replies "Only three, but I've raked
enough skin off the other knuckles to
make pair of boots" Chuckling re-
spends the carpet: Not so well as you

nails, two whole trousers knees, started
a good crop of hang-nails ON every finger

turning to an exhausted tack-hammer
that was resting itself on the window
sill, asked "How is your score ?"

the graceless trio smiled in silent chorus
and an old, rheumatic mop that was
standing ON the porch listening to the
conversation through the keyhole
pumped itself against the door in an
ecstacy of delight and fell fainting across

The Conduct Of Life.

BE IL good that we do, let us do IL,
Giving soul and our strength to the deed
Let us pierce the hard rock aud pass through it.
And compass the thing that we need.
Does Fate, as dark cloud, hang over,
And cover our heads from the light2
Dees hate mark the heart OF the lover2
Must wrong be the victor Of right?
Yet in Fate there is freedom for each one
To make or to mar as he will
And t1e bolts Of i'll fortune that reach one
May MAIN, but they never shall kill.
Ever onward and upward pursuing
The aim that is thine for the day,
Adding strength TO Thy strength by thy doing,
Thou shalt gain it, nor faint by the way.
And though thou art busiest with small things,
Though menial thy labor nay be,
Do thy utmost in that and in all things,
Thou still shalt be noble and free.
Dost thou love let it be with full measure
Nor mingle with coldness or hate
or others the Joy Of thy pleasure.
The passion that crowns thy estate.
BE TO every man Just and TO woman
Be gentle, and tender and true;
For thine own do thy best but for no man
Do less than brother should do.
So living thy days full to number,
In peace thou shalt pass to the grave;
Thou shalt lie down and rest thee, and slumber
Beloved by the good and the brave.

Fooled by Bottle.

The other night says the Santa Barbara
(Cal.) Press, a house near the beach was
entered by burglar, long after the in
mates had gone to sleep. The only
occupants were woman and two
little girls. The man obtained an en-
trance through the window of the room
in which the children slept, and in get
ting in woke one of the girls, who called
out TO her mother that man was in the
room. The mother soon realized the
fact that something was wrong, and
called out to her little girl that she
would get pistol and come in. She
accordingly came in with a small bottle
in her hand (she not owning a pistol,
and was just in time TO see man crawl
from under the bed and make a hurried
exit through the window The woman
displayed an amountof presence Of mind
and courage not often exhibited in an
emergency Ike that, even among the
sterner sex.

Remarkable Lakes.

On the top of ridge of mountains in
Portugal, called Estralia, are two lakes
of great extent and depth, especially one
of them, which is said to be unfathom-
able. What is chiefly remarkable in
them is that they are calm when the sea
is so, and rough when that is stormy. 1t
is therefore probable that theyhave sub
terranean communication with the ocean;
and this seems to be confirmed by the
pieces Of ships that they throw up,
though almost forty miles distant from
the sea. There is another extraordinary
lake in this country, which, before a
storm, is said to make frightful rumb-
ling noise, that may be heard at dis
tence of several miles. And we are also
told of a pool or fountain, called Ger
vencias," and twenty miles from Coim-
bra, that absorbs not only wood, but the
ightest bodies thrown into it. such as
cork, straw, feathers, etc., which sink to
the bottom and are never seen more. To
these we add a remarkable spring near
Entremos, which petri6es wood, or
rather encrusts it with case of stone;
but the most remarkable circumstance
is, that in summer it throws up water
enough to turn several mills, and in win
ter it is perfectly dry.

"The Admirable CrichtOn. 4"

James Crichton was human prodigy.
Before reaching his twentieth year, he
had run through the whole circle of the
sciences, and was a master of ten lam
guages, which, from his vast memory,
were as familiar to him as his mother
tongue. Nor was his fame confined
merely to literary excellence he seemed
to combine the most discordant qualities,
and was without rival in all corporeal
exercises. 1t is reported of him, that in
fencing, he could spring at one bound
the length of twenty feet on his antago-
mist, and could use the sword in both
hands with equal dexterity. He had also
fine voice, and great skill in playing on
musical instruments. His person and
countenance were alike eminently beau
tiful, which served to set off his accom-
plishments; for even virtue never fails to
be still more acceptable in a graceful
form. For the victory he gained on the
4th of February, 1879, over the learned
men of the University of Paris, he had
conferred upon him the title of cad
mirable." The very next day he attended
fitting match at the Louvre, where, in
the presence of the Court of France, he
bore away the ring fifteen times sue
cessively. The last adventure in which
he was engaged, displayed his extraor-
d nary spirit and skill in feats of arms.
Rowing about the streets of Mantua one
night during the carnival, and playing
on the guitar, he was attacked by six
men in masks. His courage did not de-
sert him on this critical occasion he op-
posed them so stoutly that they were
glad to fly and their leader being dis
armed, threw off his mask, and begged
for his life. How must it have wounded
the sensibility of Crichton to discover il
the suppliant Vincentio iii Gonzaga, thu
son of the Duke of Mantua, whose pre-
ceptor he had been chosen. Instead o
merely granting the forfeited life, whicl
was all that ought to have been required
he fell on his knees, apologized for hi
mistake, and presenting his sword to th
prince, told him that his highness wa
always master of his poor existence, ant
needed not to have sought his death b.
treachery. The brutal prince, eithe
irritated by the affront which he had re
ceived, or stung with jealousy, graspe,
the profered instrument of destruction
and plunged it into his tutors heart.

The Growth of a Dead Mans Hair.

DIR. Caldwell, of Iowa, says that in 1862
he was present at the examination OF
body which had been buried two years
before. The coffin had sprung open at
the joints, and the hair protruded
through the openings. On opening the
coffin the hair of the head was found
to measure eighteen inches and the
whiskers eight inches. The man had
been shaved before being buried. In
1S47 a similar circumstance occurred III
Mercer county, Pennsylvania. In dig
ging a grave the workmen came across
the skeleton of man that had been
buried ten years. The hair was as firm
as during life, and had grown to length
OF ten or twelve inches.

Words of Wisdom.

Conversation is the ventilation of the
mind.
Humility makes all other graces amia-
bic.
It is easy finding reasons why other
folks should be patient
There are some persons on whom their
faults sit well, and others who are made
ungraceful by their good qualities.
Happiness is in taste, and not in
things; and it is by having what we love
that we are happy, not by having what
others find agreeable.
The bird of wisdom flies laWs and
seeks his food under hedges; the eagle
himself would be starved if he always
scared aloft ana against the sup.
Pride dries the tears of anger and
vexation; humility those of grief. The
one is indignant that we should suffer;
the other claims us by the reminder that
we deserve nothing else.
Emulation is handsome passion; it is
enterprising, but just withal. 1t keeps
man within the terms of honor and
makes the contest for glory just and
! generous. He strives to excel but it is
by raising himself, not by depressing
others.
We cannot be held to what is beyond
our strength and means, for at times the
accomplishment and execution may not
be in our power; and, indeed, there is
nothing really in our power, except the
will; on this are necessarily based and
founded all the principles that regulate
the duty of man.
A good character is in all cases the
fruit of personal exertion. 1t is not
created by external advantages; it is no
necessary appendage to birth, wealth,
talents or station; but it is the result OF
ones own endeavors, the fruit and re-
ward of good principles manifested in
course of virtuous and honorable ac-
tions.
Manners are the happy ways OF doing
things; each one a stroke OF genius or o
/ love, now repeated and hardened int
usage, they form at last rich varnlsh
with the routine of life washed and 1t
details adorned. If they are superficial
so are the dew-drops which give such
:, depth TO the morning meadows.

BAKED MAoARoNI. 49, Use about half O
pound of macaroni, break up in. pieces,
put it iu-boiling water and stew gently
for twenty minutes; salt it little; drain
well; have ready a buttered pudding
dish; place alayer of the macaroni in
the bottom, then cover with grated
cheese and O few Jumps of butter; then
another layer of macaroni and more
cheese and butter until ali is used up;
add a wineglass of cream or milk; bake
covered for half an hour then re-
move the cover and brown nicely; serve
it in the bake.dish.
To BOIL TURKEY.-A delicate hen
turkey should. always be selected for
boiling. Pick and draw it, taking great
care not to break the gall-bladder; when
it is singed, cut through the skin round
the first joint of the legs, and draw
them out by fastening the feet to a
strong hook and then pulling the bird
away from it; take off the head and
neck, wash it clean, and wipe it dry; fill
the breast with veal stufing; in trussing
it, draw the legs with the body, break
the breastbone, and give the turkey as
plump an appearance as you can; put
it into plenty of hot water and boil it
very gently for about two hours; served
either with celery sauce or q good white
sauce.
DRIED APPLE CAKE. Soak three cup
fuls dried apples over night, then draw
off the water through sieve; chop the
apples slightly, then simmer them in
three cupfuls Of molasses for two hours;
after that add two eggs, one cupful
sugar, one cupful sweet milk or water,
three-quarters cupful butter or lard, one
teaspoonful baking powder, -four enough
to make pretty stiff batter; add CHINA
mon, cloves to taste.
GRAHAM BREAD. Three pints of gra
ham flour, one and half pints of white
-four, one-half pint of molasses, little
salt, one cupful yeast; mix rather we
with spoon.
