Have a Good Cry.

A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages of groan-
ing and crying in general, and especially
during surgical operations. He con-
tends that groaning and crying are two
grand operations by which nature allays
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings, more
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy man to betray such symp-
toms of cowardice as either to groan or
cry. He tells of man who reduced his
pulse from one hundred and twenty-six
to sixty in the course of a few hours by
giving full vent to his emotions. If
people are at all unhappy about any
thing, let them go into their rooms and
comfort themstlv Ives with a loud boo-hoo,
and they will feel hundred per cent.
better afterward. In accordance with
the above, the crying of children should
not be too greatly discouraged. If it is
systematically repressed, the result may
be st. Vitus's dance, epileptic fits, OF
some other disease OF the nervous sys-
tenn. What is natural is nearly always
useful; and nothing can be more natural
than the crying of children when any
thing occurs to give them either phys
ical or mental pain.

The Nose.

Thus sings modern bard, with more
truth than poetry: "Give me-" said
Napoleon, ga man with large allow
ance of nose. In my observations of
men | have almost invariably found a
long nose and long head to go to-
gether.n William Pitt had perfect
bowsprit of nose--a hook-shaped APP
pendage, on which This enemies used to
sayl he " dangled the opposition " at his
will. 1t was nose that snufled every
evil intent with the keenest scent; but
in most other respects was one of the
most unpsomising noses that genius ever
blew.
One of the oldest and most eccentric
noses that the world has ever seen was
prefiAed to the front of Lord Brougham.
1t comes within no category, and defies
all classification and analysis. 1t has it,
good points, and bad points, and no point
at all. When you think it is a Roman,
it suddenly becomes u Greek. Generally
it may be pronounced compound OF
Roman, Greek, cogitativc and celestial
with button ut the end of it. 1t is said
that its owner used to punctuate his sen
fences with it. For years it was the tar
get of Punch's jokes, till it became part
of his stock in trade.
When, in 1884, Gainsborough painted
Mrs Siddons, then in the prime of hel
beauty and the full blaze of her popu
larity, he found great difficulty in de
lineating the nose, and after repeatedly
altering its shape, he exclaimed
Confound the nose! there's no enc
to it,"
In spite of the neglect and insult t.
which this feature of the face has beef
subject, it is generally conceded that tn,
nose is the great facial sign-post which
points to character thatin judgingof an,
man, we may have only to follow on
nose, or rather his nose, to be on the RICH
road to knowledge.

Pain the Penalty for Superiority.
lScicntific American


The ideal perfect life thatmcn imagine
is always one in which pain forms no
part, yet curiously, in all the life we
know, pain is ever the penalty paid for
superiority. The higher the organism in
the scale of being, the greater its ca
pacity for pain; this is the universal
rule. Mutilation, such as an insect
bears without apparent inconvenience,
will kill reptile. A fish or reptile
disregard injuries that would be quickly
fatal to a mammal through nervous
shock. A savage laughs at wounds that
would rack the nervous system of a
civilized man with acutest agony. Thus
in every instance capacity for pain is
the measure of development. Evolution
being attended by an ever-increasing
complexity and delicacy of nervous
organization, it is inevitable thatincreas-
ing liability to nervous arrangement
must mark every upward movement in
the scale of being Will the price of
elevation ever rise so high as to put an
end to progress in this direction? There
would certainly seem to be a possibility
of such result, when we consider the
iate of those most admirable persons
who are, as we say, too finely strung for
this rude world. The acuteness and
delicacy of their sensibilities make them
at once the highest moral and intellectual
types of humanity, and physically the
most unfortunate. And they rarely or
never leave behind them vigorous
family.

Mr.. EPH KEYsER, sculptor, of Balti-
more, achieved brilliant triumph in
Berlin, about two weeks ago. He was
awarded the =" Meyerbecr -" prize of
twenty-five hundred thalers, which is a
bequest by the brother of the composer,
given annually to the best artist and
sculptor, alternately, among the Jewish
race, throughout the world There is a
very large number of competitors every
year from every part of the world. 1t
was awarded to young Keyser, by the
unanimous vote of the Senate of the
Academy of Arts at Berlin, for a figure
of Pasche," and some very fine orig
inal bas reliefs and other work Mr..
Keyser is twenty-six years of age. He
has studied four years in Munich and
one year in Berlin. A condition of the
prize is that the winner must spend a
year iii Rome for study.

An Old Poem by Poe.

g In the house of gentleman in this
CITY," says the kokomo (Ind.) Dispatch,
"we saw poem written on the blank
fly leaf of an old book. Noticing the
initials, f. A. F., at the bottom of the
poem, it struck us that possibly we had
run acrcss a bonanza. The owner of the
book said he did not know who the au-
thor of the poem was. His grandfather,
who gave him the book containing the
verses, kept an inn in Chesterfield, near
Richmond, Va. One night, young
man, who showed plainly the marks of
dissipation, raped at the door, asked if
he could stay all night, and was shown
20 room. Thiswas the last they saw of
him. When they went to his room the
next morning TO call him to breakfast
he had gone, but had left the book, ON
the fly leaf of which he had written the
verses" The editor of the Dispatch be-
lieves that Edgar A. Poe was the writer
of the poem, and that it has never pro-
viously been printed. 1t is MS follows
Ieonainie- angels named her;
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In a smile of white;
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes of bloomy
Moonshinc, and they brought her to mo
In the solemn night
In the solemn night OF summer,
When my heart of gloom
Bossomed up togrott the conner
Like n rose In bloom
All forcbodings that distressed me
forgot rs joy caressod me
Lying joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doom
Only spake the little lisper
In the angel tongue;
Yet |, listening, heard her whisper
g Songs only sung
Here below that they may grleve you--
Tales are told you to deceive you---
So must Leonainie leave you,
While her love is young"
Then God smiled and IL was morning.
Matchless and supreme;
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with It's esteem
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice Of prayer, and lifted
Where my Leonainie drilted
From me like dream.

AMERICAN EXPORTS.

The official statement of American ex-
ports for the first seven months of the
fiscal year 1S76-77, shows that the num-
of yards of colored cotton goods exported
in that period was II, 225, SOP, and of un-
colored cotton $43, 73l, 223 yards-total
So, 1856 35 yards. For the same period
of the fiscal year 1876, the number of
yards of colored cotton goods exported
was 4, 515,616, and of uncolored q, 65i,
COG yards-total 80, 16S, 322; showing an
increase of 23,9SS, Alb yards during the
last seven months compared with the
corresponding period of the year before.
This shows that our manufacturers are
able to compete with the Old England
manufacturers and, moreover, the in
crease indicates that the cotton fabrics
of America are finding favor in the mar
kets where they go. The difference in
wages between this country and England
is not so greatly to our disadvantage as
it was five years ago; but our better ma
chinery, cheap power and greater va
rieties of colored cotton goods put
American manufacturers on an equality
with the English manufacturers.

STATE detectives IN Massachusetts
have been spending good deal of time
lately among the professional tramps in
that State, initiating their dress, man.
ners and habits in order to obtain infor-
nation to be used by the authorities in
dealing with the tramp question. One
result of their Investigations is that the
tramps have a regular organization, that
most of them are thieves and the rest
beggars, and that the thieying and beg
ging business, for particular days and
localities, is assigned to particular
individuals, by order of the chief. Hav-
ing made these interesting discoveries,
the authorities will now proceed to make
war on the nuisance.

COIL STRIKES.

The situation in the Pennsylvania coal
fields has been very serious. A cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Commercial in
that region, says that, with several thou
sand troopsencamped in Luzerne County,
violence and successful intimidation
are every day occurrences. The last
instance is the stopping of the pumps in
some of the mines near Carbonate.
The flooding of the mines is one of the
most desperate resorts of the strikers
1t not only entails great damage to the
machinery in the colleries, but renders
them practically useless for months after
the settlement of the disputed points
between the men and the company have
been accomplished, thereby increasing
the hazard by consequential damages.
Soldiers have been guarding the rail
road tracks for miles, and yet it was a
nightly occurrence that attempts were
made to throw the passenger cars from
the road. Volleys of shots were fired
into the passengers, and other forms of
outlawry committed at unprotected
points. Thus far the passengers have es-
capped with their lives but several have
been seriously wounded. One young
lady wasconfned to her bed several days,
suffering from wound received in these
attacks upon night train.
The last phase of the strike is unlocked
for, and as it affects the Western markets
and industrial pursuits, we will give the
details briefly: The miners in the employ
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, at the inception of the strike Of
the railroad employees, made it common
cause for an advance in wages. This
demand has not been acceded to, and
the works remain idle. Acts of violence
against the property of the company
have occurred, and the United States
soldiers have been called upon to disperse
the rioters and to guard the works. In
the meantime a number of the smaller
companies have encouraged their men
to continue work by making an advance
in wages of ten per cent. Owing to the
light production for the Western market
from the Wyoming region and from
which the Lehigh Valley Railroad is the
outlet, the demand has been brisk, and
the circular prices have been strength
ened. The sympathy between men and
employers has most happily been aug
mented. But at this moment new OBJ
struction is thrown athwart the bright
horoscope of the steady producers by
the issuing of new freight schedule or
the Lehigh Valley road increasing the
tariff eighty cents per ton to Buffalo.
The effect of this unexpected tax il
likely to work most disastrously, as al
the present price of coal the operators
are forced into a losing business or mus
discharge their men. The operators to
gether with the Western dealers who
are here, speak. of the rise in tolls with
no less emphasis of denunciation thar
it has been their wont to talk OF refrac
tory miners. Every ton of Goa
that leaves this valley for the lakes il
taxed to an extent that justifies the in
ference that the Lehigh Valley Compan,
mean to control the market and the pro
duction, even though their extensive
works lie idle.

EIGHT thousand five hundred people
comprise the regular staff in the royal
china factory at Missen, Saxony. When
the china has been examined by the
Superintendent, and he considers it per
feet, he affixes the well-known crossed
swords before the last baking. Every
bit with the slightest imperfection is
marked imperfect, and sold for less thar
half price either at the factory or more
frequently at a small shop in Dresden
which goes by the name of "the rejected
shop" This mark of imperfection il
simply a small white line drawn through
the crossed swords. The factory is adj
mirably managed, and the hands wei
cared for.

THE Agricultural Gazette says, con-
corning the crops in England, that it is
plain that 1877 will prove no exception
to the succession of unfortunate harvests
lately experienced. The wheat crop is
certainly very generally and very largely
below the average. Oats and winter
beans seem the best of the grain crops
this year. On the other hand, it has been,
and is, great year for graziers and dairy
farmers. All kinds of cattle are found
unusually abundant. Potatoes, so
promising, are very generally threatened
with disease. The hay crop is abun-
dant.
