Beautiful lips are those whose words

Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and

Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries TO and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it SC.
Beautiful shoulders are these that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily payer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless

SUPERIOR PHYSIQUE.

AS point of curiosity the question
has often been entertained why Scotch
men as race are so stslwart and
muscular, and the reply has invariably
been that the climate of the country is
so rigorous that only the most heslthy
can live beyond infancy. Without
going into actual climatic statistics, 1t
may be safely admitted that the eli
mate of Scotland is so severe that sick
ly children have scarcely any chance
of reaching maturity, and that, or that
account. the men and women are the
most physically strong TO be found in
the world. Even among the pessntry
OF the country many traits are pre-
served to this day of the character es
sentially Scotch. They are marked by
an athletic. bony frame, broad and
high cheek bones, and hard, we.ther-
beaten countensncc. No people have
shown more resolute determination in
defence of civil and religious freedom,
and yet il is clear that their chief vices
are iutemperance and unchastity. In
1872, out of a total of llS,S13 births In
the country l0.Sl7, or mora than ten
per cent were illeaitimate. and in eight
counties Kinross, Aber.
deem, kirkcndbright, Wigtown. Elgin,
Dunfries and Banff-the proportion
was about twenty per cent Other
strong marked virtues. however, have
always more than balanced this weak
ness. The people are singularly intel
lec,ual. Not withstandlng the small
ness of the population of the country.
it has produced an array of names
eminent in literature and science which
scarcely any other nation can boast of
surprising Among them are Broug-
harn. Scott, Sydney Smith, aud others
whom the world would not willingly
let die In practical industry, likewise,
the Scotch are pre-eminent. aud
there are no people IN the worlj who
give more earnest attention TO schol-
astlc training or religions observance.

DISTINGUISHED AS A RACE.

In bodily prowess the world cannot
produce people more distinguished
than Scotchmen. In the United States
the Gorgisns and Kentuckyians are ac-
cepted as the strongest and fullest class
of physically developed manhood.
The most thorough of their class rise
above six feet. and have breadth of
shoulders beyond forty inches. In this
city there are specimens Of Scotchmen
some inches ahead of six feet and be-
yond forty-tive inches bresdth of chest.
Actually, in proportion to the number
there are more big and strong Scotch
in San Francisco than any other nation
ality can claim.

SCOTCHMEN.

20, Scotia my dear, my native soil
For whom my warmest wish to heaven 10 sent,
Long may thy hardy sons OF rustic toll
BE best with health and peace sna SWEET con-
tent, Burns.
THAT garret Of the earth, that knuckle end Of
England. that land of Calvin, oatcakas aud sui
pher.'-SIpsEY SMITH.
1t is estimated that the resident
Scotchmen of San Francisco number in
the neighborhood of 5000. AS q rule
the natives of Scotia can be told by
their finely proportioned physiques and
independent character. In their talk
there is very little OF the Gallo brogue
to specially denote their nativity, but
at the same time there is an lndetnable
accent that places their birthplace be-
yond question. SO far as the point of
number goes, the Scotch in this city
scarcely rise to significance; but in re-
gard TO respectability and influence
they compose an important factor of
business and social existence. In stur-
dy manhood they represent all that is
strong, resolute and persistent. In
honesty of character and integrity of
purpose they compare tavOrably with
any other nationality on the coast. In
force of intellect aud shrewdness of
enterprise they are not excelled. Not
altogether witty like the Irish and
French, they possess Il force of
humor that is perhaps, better than an
Englishman's philosophy or Ger
mans metaphysics; and in mental acu-
men, no matter how exercised. they are
able to challenge the whole human
race. In fact, as n people. the Scotch,
wherever found. are distinct as a type
of humanity ani physically grand as a
specimen of race.

Gold at only three~quarters Of one
per cent. premium over the greenback
dollar! This is the lowest point it has
reached since 1851, says the Pittsburg
Post, and this despite the fact that this
is the time of year when there is usually
a large export of gold. The Government
itself has helped to make exchanges
rule against us by paying gold for silver
bullion in London and Paris. II is be-
ieved that in this way some $6,000,000
of silver bullion has been imported, for
which we must pay in gold or its equiv
aIent, yet the premium runs at only
three-quarters per cent. Not more than
half million of bonds per week are
now returned from Europe, although
the amount was larger soon after the
passage of the Silver bill. The Graphic
noting these facts, draws encouraging
conclusions as to the revival of busi-
ness.
