THE USE OF WHISPERS TO 1.-THE
sense of all Others most deficient in the
cat is that of smell. In this she differs
most remarkably from the dog. 1t is said
that piece of meat may be placed in close
proximity to cat, but that, if it is kept
covered up, she will fail to distinguish it.
This want IS, however, partly compensated
for by an extremely delicate sense of touch
which is possessed to remarkable extent,
by the whiskers, or vibrisse, as well as by
the general surface of the skin. These
bristles are possessed to a greater or less
extent by all cats, and are simply great de-
veloped hairs, having enormously swollen
roots, covered with layer of muscular
fibres, With which delicate nerves are con-
nected. By means of these latter, the
slightest touch on the extremity of the
whiskers is instantly transmitted to the
brain. These organs are of the greatest
possible value to the cat in it's nocturnal
campaigns. When it is deprived Of the
guidance afforded by light it makes it's
way by the sense of touch, the fine whis-
kers touching against everything the cat
passes, and thus acting in precisely the
same manner as blind mans stick,
though with infinitely greater sensibility.
Imagine blind man with not one stick
but couple of dozen Of exquisite fneness,
and these not held in his hand, but imbed-
ed in his skin, so that his nerves come into
direct contact with them instead of having
layer Of skin, between, and some notion
may be formed of the way in which cat
uses it's whiskers.

The Bright Side of German Customs.

Germany has it's bright side. A young
lady may here no more go to theatre, op-
era or concert with beau than she might
with us go to a common gambling saloon
but she is at perfect liberty to go alone, OF
with another lady. old or young. A young
girl attracts no more attention by coming
into an opera in a handsome evening dress
alone, than by golng,down street shopping;
and the only escort allowable is male
member of her own family Or an older wo-
| man. When there are neither of these,
a maid-servant meets her in the hall, or
| sometimes has seat in the house, and
sees her young mistress safely home. So
young ladies go to the opera for the sake
Of the music. There are no public firta-
tions, no talking in the audience during
the performance. Women come with hus-
bands and fathers, of course; but so large
q portion of the audience are won en- who
have come alone that one is quite at home
Every one leaves hats and wraps in ante
rooms; and, during intervals, as many wo-
men go out for refreshments, OF walk
about through the house, speaking to
friends, there is no more appearance of
restraint than in an evening party. Dur
ing pauses in the performance, and before
it begins, there is perfect Babel of talk;
but the instant the conductor taps, all
sounds cease but those made by the per-
formers, there is no public private pratt
tie between Laura and Augusta, no gig
Cling of girls, and no conversation among
men. Folks 90 to witness the performance.
There seems to be nothing else attended to
until this is over.-Leipsic Letter from
Mrs. Savisshelne.

Hints To Writers.

William Cullen Bryant once gave the
following sensible advice to a young MAI
who had offered him an article for the
/ "Evenng Post -
My young friend, I observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your letter. | think, if you will study the
English language, that you will find it Ca
Fable of expressing all the ideas that you
may have. | have always found it so, and
in all that have written do not recall
an instance where | was tempted to use a
foreign word, but that, On searching, 1
have ound Il better one in my own Ian
gnage.
! Be simple, unaffected; be honest in your
speaking and writing. Never use a long
word when short one will do as well.
! Call a spade by its name. but not a vel
known oblong instrument of manual labor,
let home be home and not residence a
| place not a locality, and so on of the rest.
When a short word will do, you always
lose by a long one. You lose in clearness );
you lose in honest expression of meaning :;
and in the estimation of all men who are
capable Of judging, you lose in reputation
for ability.
The only true way to shine, even in this
false world, is to be modest and unassum-
ing. Falsehood may be thick crust, but
in the course of time truth finds a place to
break through. Elegance of language
may not be in the power of us all, but SIM
plicty and straitforwardness are.
Write much as you would speak, and
as you think. Ii with your inferior, speak
NO coarser than usual; if with your supe-
rior, speak no finer, Be what you say, and
within the rules of prudence. No one ever
was gamer by singularity of words or in
pronunciation. The truly wise man will
so speak that no one will observe how he
speaks. a man may show great knowledge
of chemistry by carrying bladders Of
strange gases to breathe; but one will en-
JOY better health, and find more time for
business, who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked: AFTER
you have written an article, take your pen
and strike out half the words, and you will
be surprised to see how much stronger it

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

I'll ING UP POTATOES.-I think
that killing up, in the way it is practiced
is, as a general rule, injurious, excepting
on very wet land. If land is cultivated
properly, and to the right depth, claim
that the crop where no killing up in the
usual way is done, will be nearly
double that hilled up because those
hilled up do not receive the proper
a mount of moisture. Should othere be
abundant rain to suit potatoes planted on
the level it would scarcely reach those in
hills. Modern hills are built up as if to
ward Off all the moisture possible, ard
compel the poor potato to exc out an ex-
istence in heap of dust. 1 have often
wondered when opening out a hill, how the
potatoes grew at all. My experience in
potato-growing is, that the proper way to
plant is ON the level, and then after this is
done mulch the ground well with some
manure, to save as much moisture as pos
sible in the ground. Sometimes it is nee
essary to draw up little earth where the
tubers are pressing up through the ground
but would only put on sufficient to cover.
In drills l would plant one good seed-eye
every fifteen or eighteen inches, and in
hills, two or three eyes at the most AS
general rule, 1 think potatoes are planted
too thick, and too much seed put in the
ground, and very frequently we find peo-
pie reserving all the small trash of the pit
or bin for seed, instead of using the medi-
UNI sized potatoes. -.

WHY THE Rich ARE MISERABLE

WHY THE RICH ARE MIsERABLE.-In
his speech at the recent award of the
Montyon prize for virtue, M. Alexander
Dumas discussed the reason why rich pen-
pie are miserable, and came to the conclu-
sion that it is because they do not sufic-
iently devote their wealth to making 9TH
ers happy. One of the passages runs thus
1.-THE kingdom she has long inhabited is no
longer of this world it knows no limits
or frontiers, no foreigners or enemies, no
victors or vanquished; all who inhabit it
are the children of one father, whose name
is Charity.''

EYES.

Sweet baby eyes.
That look around with such grave surprise,
What do you see?
A strange, new world where simplest things
Engender wild imaginings
And fancies free?
A resting place that is not home
A paradise wherein to roam
For years may be?
Oh! placid wondering baby eyes!
The mystery that in you lies
Oft puzzles me.
Clear, boyish eyes,
Whose fearless glare unconsciously defies
Troubles and care,
When babyEood is past and gone.
What is it that you gaze upon?
A land most fair
A SUNNY shore with pleasure rife
And that great, glorious gift of life
IT'S bliss to share!
Oh! happy, trustful, boyish eyes!
Let sages envy, fools despise
The faith you wear.
The anxious eyes

That life at best is quickly done,
That hopes fulfilled and wishes won
Are dearly got;
That shadows chased in headlong haste,
And golden fruit he strove to taste,
Delight him not;
Oh! restless, doubling, troubled eyesl
To learn in sorrow to be wise
Is ManhoOd's lot
Dim, aged eyes,
Gazing across the wreck of broken ties,
What do they see?
Behind-dead leaves that withered fall;
Afading wilderness where all
Is vanity;
Before-tO gladden. weary sight,
A glimpse, a promise OF the bright
Eternity.
Oh! dim and fearful aged-eyes,
If waiting till that dawn shall rise,
Blessed are We!

curiosity about the girl he had saved. To
tell the truth, he was nearer in love with
her than he had ever been with any woman

he had held her high above the waves.
She was exceedingly lovely, just the fresh

and in the busy ball room no one seemed
to remember that he needed one. He kept
his post against the conservatory door
ly he saw Squire Braddon with the beauty
on his arm approaching him. AS they
passed, the Squire remembered he had not
been to dinner, and stopped to say a few
courteous words, and introduced his COM
panion.
''Miss Conyers- Lieutenant Jones'"
But no sooner did Miss Conyers hear
Lieutenant Jones's voice than she gave a
joyful cry, and, clapping her hands togeth-
er, said
II have found him Papa! papa! l have
found him!''
Never was there such an interruption to
a ball. The company gathered in excited
groups, and papa knew the Lieutenants
voice, and the Captain knew it. and poor
Jones, unwilling enough, had to acknoNl-
edge the deed and be made hero of.
1t was wonderful, after this night, what
a change took place in Jones's quiet ways.
His books and boat seemed to have lost
their charm, and for his walks, they were
all in one direction, and ended at Braddon
Hall. In about month Miss Conyers
went away, and then Jones began to hunt
the postman, and to get pretty little letters
which always seemed to take great deal
of answering.
Before the end of the winter he had an
invitation to Conyers to spend month,
and, a furlough being granted, he started
off in great glee for Kent. Jones never re-
turned to the Eighty-fourth. The months
furlough was Indefinitely lengthened-in
fact, he sold out, and entered upon diplo-
matte career under the care of Sir Thomas
Conyers.
Eighteen months after the wreck, Colo
mel Underwood read aloud description of
the marriage of Thomas Jones, of Milford
Haven, to Mary, only child and heiress of
Sir Thomas Conyers, of Conyers Castle,
Kent. And paragraph below stated that
''The Honorable Thomas Jones, with his
bride, had gone to Vienna on diplomatic
service of great Importance"
"Just his luck,'' said Powell
'sJust his pluck,'' said Underwood; ''and

to say so, [ shall treat him as a hero just
waiting for his opportunity. Here is the
