The true girl has to be sought for, says
Oliver Wendell Holmes. She does not
parade herself as show goods. She is not
fashionable. Generally she is not rich.
But oh! what heart she has when you
find her! so large and pure and womanly.
When you see it yOu wonder if those
show things outside were women. If you
gain her love two thousands are millions.
She'll not ask you for carriage or
first-class house. She'll wear simple
dresses, and turn them when necessary,
with no vulgar magnifieate to frown upon
her economy. She'll keep everything
neat and nice in your sky parlor' anu
give YOU such a welcome when you come
home that you'll think your parlor high

For six or eight hundred years the
Grand Canal, crossing the great plain of
Northern China, from Pekin in the north
to HangehOw in the south, has been the
chief line of communication and COM
merce between the capital and southern
portions of the Chinese Empire. The ca
nal proper is more than 600 miles long,
and, with its branches, is said to supply
1900 miles of waterway, and the means
for irrigating and reclaiming many thou
sand square miles of thickly peOpled
country. During the recent years, how
ever, the vast sums appropriated for the
management and repair of the Grand Ca
nal have been so largely absorbed by dis
honest officials that the canal has become
partially unfit for commerce in many
parts; while the estimated cost of putting
it in good condition is so hopelessly be-
yond the capacity of an empire impover-
ished by war, famine and official rapacity,
that the Imperial Government are seri-
ously considering the propriety of aban-
doning the canal entirely. For the first
time since the canal was built the food
supplies from the south for the support OF
the capital (and for the relief of the fam
inc stricken regions to the north and
west) have this year been forwarded by
sea-a much speedier and more economi-
cal route, no doubt; still, for the great
plain and its millions of inhabitants the
canal is practical necessity, and, to le
it go to further destruction, will seriously
endanger their prosperity, if not theil
i lives.-Scientifc American.

change, the scientific structure makes it
everindestructible. All miracle, there
fore, is henceforth abrogated and man is
immortal upon principles as plain and
natural as the common laws of organism
and growth. The human spirit is the TO-
cal organism of Nature-it can not be
Observation-Disclosures all atoms. and laws.
and essences, expend themselves in mans
formation; and so it is that the interior
form is rendered eternal as it were, by
a spiritual law of chemical affinity. Ev-
cry soul is thus individually organized,
and can not by any possible means be-
come blended or inter-associated with
others in such a way as that the soul's
individual existence would be annihila-
ted or immersed in the great ocean of
moving and intangible substances. The
law of association determines the perpe-
tuity of every SOULS identity, in both the
material and spiritual world; for being
in constitution dissimilar to each other
and to all things, they can not become an
initiated or disorganized.
The law of eternal progression also
governs the constant development of all
forms, both of a material and spiritual
nature. And from the tendencies of this
law flow all affinities, affections, relations,
form, and degrees of refinement. So each
law develops forces and dentencfes cor
responding to the peculiarities of the
forms that need to be actuated and gov
erned unchangeably. Then is proved
that the soul of man (Which is himself)
with the form( (Which is it's body)is an or
ganized essence, such as can not be ami
hilated or lost as to its identity. For the
dissimilarity of men not only establishes
their identity in respect to the outer, but
also in respect to the inner. And being
thus differently combined, they can not
associate with each other in such man.
ner as to become individually lost in a
general commingling mass; but each, ac-
cording to the law of eternal association,
must necessarily preserve his own identi-
ty. And men will approach each others
spheres only as they are mutually congo
nial on the outer, in all worlds of spiritual
existence, as well as in the physical world.
PHYSICIAN.

as cook on boat running on the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. The life was
rough, and she Ionged for the comforts of
her old hOm9. She remained thus en-
ployed until the breaking out of the war
in 1861, when she enlisted as a private.
She afterward was promoted to sergeant.
In 1864 she was in Gen. Thomas division
at Nashville.
One day her captain, whose name was
Hopkins, and who was afterward promo
ted to major, halted her as she was re-
turning from stationing a squad of pick
cts. Looking at her sharply, he asked
her if she was not woman. The hot
blood mounted to her cheeks. Thus far
she had preserved her incognito appar-
emily unsuspected. Her silence and con-
fusion disclosed the truth and she was
forced without further words to confess
her sex. The captain said he had long
suspected it. She pleaded with him not
to reveal her secret, but he said General
Thomas must know it, and the captain
and sergeant Kate were soon before him.
He sent her to the rear in the hospital,
where she again donned the costume of
her sex, and her duty until the close of
the war was to nurse the sick and wound
ed. When the war ended she married
the captain, then major. They tried to
live among his folks in Ohio, but her es-
capade as soldier had gained her un-
pleasant notoriety and the tongue pf un-
just scandal forced them away. Draw
ing from bank the money she had saved
as steamboat cook, they went to the is
land of Cuba, in the interior of which
they bought a handsome plantation,
where they now reside. Their house
hold consists of themselves, two children,
and female colored servant.
In this retreat they were found by Col.
Wilson, of Philadelphia, in 1878. He had
frequently spent the winter in Havana,
but in that year, in consequence of civil
retreat further inland, and found it in
the house of an accomplished American
gentleman and his accomplished and in
telligent wife. In time he learned the
family secret. And Mrs. Hopkins, the
once little Kate, implored him recently
to let her parents know of her wherea-
bouts and condition, and to convey to
them the assurance of her deep love f or
them still. She had been brave in every
thing else, but when it came to writing
to her wronged parents and explaining
everything she admitted that she was a
coward. She and her family now pro-
pose visiting her old home in Northern
Pennsylvania, and if this tale be true,
which we suspect it is, the coming sum-
mer will witness happy reunion in one
family at least.
