A Russian Tragedy.

A sanguinary tragedy has occurred in
Russia, taking its rise from { he recently.
innuGurated wholesale slaughterlnS OF
nla~ue-intected cattle. All the cattle in
the Cars donlinions are subjected TO Il
strict veterinary examination. Such us
are plaEuc-suspcct,d, or aS exhibit ten
denotes likely to expose them to danger
of infection, are ut once ruthlessly
slaughtered. The carcasses are burned
and the owners rcmuneratcd, unless they.
have striven to conceal the existence OF
the pest among their herds.
One Ivan Borksomvitch did. or Is al-
legged to have done, this. The inspector,
however, discovered that his cattle were
diseased and came to slaughter, them.
Ivan refused to permit it unless he was
paid. The inspector declined to sign the
indemnifcation papers. 4 quarrel ell
sued. when Ivan aSsailed him with one
of the slaughtering knives and discm-
boweled him at the first blow. The
murdered mans assistants f'.il on the as
sassin, and in the melee which followed
three of them were very seriously in
iured. Borksomvitch was finely secured
and locked up. Next morning he was
found dead. He had broken Il tile from
the porcelain stove which heated his cell
and cut his throat with it.

The Family Hammer.

There is one thing no family prctends
to be without. This is a hammer. And
yet there is nothing that goes to make
up the equipment Of domestic estab-
lishment that causes one-half rs much
agony and profanity rs hammer. 1t is
always IN old hammer with q handle
that is inclined to silver, and always
bound to s!:u. The face is rs round as
full moon, and rs smooth rs glass
When it strikes nail full and square,
which it has been known to do, the act
will be found to result from n combina-
tion of pure accidents.
The family hammer is one of those
rare articles we never profit by. When
it glides off o. nail head, and mashcs down
couple of fingers, we unhesitatingly de-
posit it in the yard, and observe that we
will never use it again. But the blood
has hardly dried on the rag before we
are out Of doors in search of that ham,
rnPr, and ready to make another trial.
| The result rarely varies, but we never
profit by it. The awful weapon goes on
knocking of our nails and mashing of
joints and slipping off the handle, to the
confusion Of the mantel ornaments and
breaking the commandments and cutting
up an assortment of astounding and un-
fortunate antics without let or him
dcrance. And yet we put up with it,
and put the handle on again, and lay it
where it won't get lost, and do up our
mutilated and smarting fingers, and il
the outrageous thing should happen to
get lost we kick up a regular hullabaloo
until it is found again. Talk about the
tyrannizing influence ofa bad habit! II
is not to be compared to the family ham,
mer.- Young Scientist.

ThOreau's Thoughts.

When we cease to sympathize with,
and to be personally related to men, and
begin to be universally. related, then we
are capable of inspiring Others with the
sentiment of love for us.
What is peculiar in the life of a man
consists not in his obedience, but his op-
position to his instincts; in one direction
or another he strives to. live super
natural life.
DO you know on what bushes 4 little
peace, faith and contentmcnt grow? Go
:l-berrying early and late after them.
Woe to him who wants a companion,
for he is unfit to be the companion even
Of himself.
What does education often do? 1t
makes a straight-cut ditch out Of q
free meandering brook.
Cheap persons will stand upon cere-
m0ny, because there is no other ground;
but to the great of the earth we need no
introduction, nor do they need any
to us.
That virtue we appreciate is as much
rs we possess.
Make the most of your regrets; never
smother your sorrow, but tend and
cherish it till it come to have separate
and integral interest. To regret deeply
is to live fast. By so doing you will
be astonished to find yourself restored
once more to ell your emoluments.
There is nowhere any apology for de-
spondency. Always there is life while
life lasts. which, rightly lived, implies Il
divine satisfaction.
Whatever your sex or position, life is
battle in which you are to show your
pluck, and woe be to the coward.
Whether passed on bed of sickness or
in the tented field, it is ever the same
fair flag, and admits of no distinction.
Despair and postponement are cowardicc
and defeat. Men were born to succeed,
not to fail.
Nothing is more saddening than an in
eifectual and proud intercourse with
those of whom we expect sympathy and
encouragement. l repeatedly find my
self drawn toward certain persons but
to be disappointed. No concessions
which are not radical are the least sat
isfaction. BY myself I can live and
thrive, but in the society of incompati-
bic friends starve. To cultivate their
society is to cherish q sore which can
only be healed by abandoning them.
No fields are so barren to me us the
men from whom expect everything but
get nothing. In their neighborhood l
experience q painful yearning for society
which cannot be satisfied, for the hate is
greater than tine love.
The blue sky is distant reflection of
the azure serenity that looks out from
| under Il human brow.

the nature of the influence which the
weird, pale face and strange presence had
had upon my friend.
The strong but subtle link, which no
time or absence can quite sunder, exist
ing between mother and son, had made
itself felt the instant those two sat face
to face, for the unhappy woman was in
deed none other than Jacks own mother.
He had never been told-in fact, it had
been carefully kept from him. Why
run the risk of clouding for life that
bright and happy temperament? He
was only four years old when the dread
full business happened, Hence he had
scarcely known mothers care; she was
lost to him and to the world rs COM
pletely rs if she had died. Nay, death
would have been mercy by compari-
son, and it was generally assumed that
she was dead; only q very few intimate
friends knew the truth.
The poor lady's mind had given way
suddenly after the birth Of a child, who
did not live. Within week, the homi-
cidal mania possessed her; by the
merest chance she had been prevented
from committing some frightful outrage
upon her little hoy, my poor friend Jack; {;
and restraint not having been put upon
her in time-for her malady had hardly
been suspected, so unlocked for was its
apprenticeship consummated her dead
ly propensity upon her eldest child, a
girl fifteen years Of age-killed her, in n
word, as she lay asleep.
And here, aftera lapse of twenty years,
was the climax and end Of the tragedy, as
dreadful as anything that had gone be-
fore. The order for release, when it came,
brought with it as much suffering (to all
but one) rs had the order for captivity.
No wonder that Jack was IN altered
man. l have never seen 4 smile on his
face since-though I trust that time, with
its healing influence, may at least soften
the blow.

Words of Wisdom.

He that gets out of debt grows rich.
Light burdens long borne grow heavy.
Open your mouth and purse cautiously
Where the will is ready the feet are
light.
Agreeable counsels are rarely useful
cOunscls.
One triumphs over calumny only in
scorning it.
Talking comes by nature; silence by
understanding.
1t is only for innocence that solitude
can have any charms.
No man ever yet looked on the dark
side of life without finding it.
Manner is one Of the greatest engines
ofinhucnce ever given to man.
Flattcry is false coin which has cir
culation only through our vanity.
Conscience is the voice of the soul J.;
tic passions are the voice of the body.
Men seldom improve when they have
no other models than themselves to copy
after.
We live to learn, but death comes to
thousands ere they have mastered the
alphabet of common sense.
Men spend their lives in hesping, up
ccloss niles of treasure. which stand ii
the end like the pyramids in the desert
sands, holding only the dust of kings.
How many useful hints are obtained
nv chance, ard how often the mind, hur-
ricd by her own ardor 10 distant views
neglects the truths that lie open before
her.
Pride is seldom delicate; twill please
itself with very mean advantages; and
envy frcls not its own happiness but
when it may be compared with the misery
! of - thors

A Queer House.

An eccentric, Englishman has recently
built house in the Quarter Tivoh for
the residence of himself, his wife and
eight children. which is the talk of all
Paris. 1t is circular, and has neither
door nor window externally. The ap-
proach to it is from the ground floor on
to the roof by means of IL ladder, which
is moved up and down by machinery
similar to that of Il drawbridgc. There
is only one floor, and that contains
eighteen apartments, more or less small
in dimension, looking into the center.
which is lighted from above by a glazed
cupola. One stove for all these rooms is
in the middle, and in summer its place
is to be occupied by an exquisite parterre
of flowers. A circular balcony, open to
all the apartments, surrounds this space.
The motive for this oddity is, of course,
only known to the author of it, but
everybody can see that two points are
gained by it-immunity from the taxes
on doors and windows, and perfect pre-
ventative Of any attempt at burglary.
