Or a HUDSON STEAMER IN SUMNER
We give a glance as we pass into the Ia
dies cabin, occupied by one or two ell
DERBY females in black bombazine, and
deep in cheap novels, somnolent baby
in shawls on the sofa, and a young couple
from the rural districts on a bridal tour.
Come forward moment. See what a
snug place the engineer has of it, with
his comfortable sofas, carpets, and bo-
quot of flowers. How exquisitely neat
the engine front, with all its shining ar
ray of valves and rods and pistons, as
bright as rubbing can make them! Step
ping out on the lower forward, we found
ourselves running through the Tappan
Sea, the fresh breeze ripping the short
dancing waves OF the great bay, larry
town, Sunnyside, Forests castle, and
all the rest Of the pretty buildings Of
that Tx smiling in the sun on the east
bank, and the distant Highlands begin
ming TO loom faint and blue over the riy-
er reaches ahead.
On the upper deck we find matters
cheerful, but staid withal; enjoyable, but
proper rather than picturesque. We arc
still drawing on the upper strata OF the
social barrel, and have not yet tapped
the elements Of Bohemia proper. There
are delicate young girls in irreproachable
gloves intent on the last magazine, stu
dious-lookIng elderly men CHANGING over
proof sheets, briefs, or newspapers, and
motherly matrons gossiping about the
local items of their village soiourn. Best
of all, there are the pretty, arch, fascin-
ating, and irresistible children frolicking
about the saloons, coquetting with such
soft hearted old bachelors as give heed
to their sly little chances, tormenting
parents and nurses for or ice water,
and bringing the maternal heart
into the maternal throat ten times in as
many minutes with their spasmodic eff
| forts to climb over the ratings. Inotice
too, a good many bridal couples, copies
more or less varied of the pair down
stairs, distinguishable by a certain awk-
ward absorption and affectionate watch
fulness, which struggles against too evil
dent betrayal, set off by certain little
primnesses of toilet and manner which
mark the newly married on their first
journey; for we are on the highway to
Niagara, and during early summer the
great river throbs and thrills throughout
its whole length with one grand fifty
thousand palpitation power engine Of
nascent connubiality.-Harper'S Maya.

4 HaIUa:,ie Diamond.

4 valuable diamond has recently
been discovered in Japan, and, like all
celebrated gems, seems destined to
strange yiciSsitudes. a keeper Of a
secondhand store first purchased it
from countryman for five sous-abOut
four cents-and, on showing it TO a
foreigner, was at once offered $4,000
Tor it. The suspicious of the japanese
were at once aroused, and whereas, il
he had been offered ten cents for it, he
would probably have thankfully taken
it, he saw at once that it would not DO
TO dispose of the gem at SO paltry a
profit as that offered, and has handed
it over to the government, which Will
at once test its value.

TrOnicAl Rains.

AS the tropical rains, though gener-
ally confined only to part of the year,
and then only to a few hours of the
day, fall in SO much greater abundance
than under our skies. says the Tropical
World, it may naturally be supposed
that the single showers must be pro-
portionally violent. Descending in
streams so close and so dense that the
level ground, unable to absorb il suf1i-
GENTLY fast, is covered with sheet Of
water, the rain rushes down the hill
sides III volume that wears channels
in the surface. For hours together,
the noise of the torrent as it beats up
on the trees and bursts upon the roofs,
occasions an uproar that browns the
ordinary voice and makes sleep i'm
possible. In Bombay, nearly nine
inches Of rain have been known to fail
in one day, also twelve inches in Cal
cutta III the same period, or nearly
half the mean quantity of rain on the
east coast Of England. During one
single storm which Casteluan witness
ed at Pebas on the Amazon, there fell
not less than thirty inches of rain
nearly as much az he annual supply
Of the west coast Of England.

Excavations at Pompeii prove to the
city to have been one of the most fash
ionable and beautiful of Roman summer
resorts, and but for the eruption it might
have remained so to this day. AS with
Pompeii, so with thousands of people
who have beauty of form and feature.
They might always be admired but for
the eruption, that makes the face I'M
slightly, and betrays the presence OF
scrofula, virulent blood poisons, or gen
eral debility. There is but one remedy
that positively cures these affections, and
that remedy is DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

tonic, Alternative, and resolvent. 1t

JAPANESE SCHooL COMPOSITIONS. -

And children would see his CHEEKY smile
Reflected back IN their own the while,
And even the rough. blunt saiiOr-nen
Had always a word for Cripple Ben
Yet oft on the pier where tine great ships lay
He'd sit and rest on q summers day,
