Summer Vacations.

Summer vacations have now become q
permanent institution; yet they are of
comparatively recent origin. Our an
cestors never thought of travelling be-
yond the limits of their city, village or
native valley, except when driven by
their affairs or their predatory instincts.
What lay beyond the familiar circle OF
their daily lives was foreign to them,
and rather to be Stunned than sought.
The traveller by choice was looked upon
rs bold and foolhardy. Men and women
lived in narrow groves of their own,
and had no desire to emerge into Il larger
space. But times are changed. The
modern facilities for intercourse anu
communication have greatly enlarged
our world. In one sense enlarged, in
another belittled, for while our expert.
ence, through personal travel, boo Ks and
the reports of friends, has brought the
distant near and interviewer it with the
associations of daily life, it has drained
away the sources of mystery which fed
the imagination of our ancestors, and
compensated the littleness of their actual
world with indefinite conceptions of the
~nstness and wonderful nature of the
world that encirclcd it. If the earth, as
they conceived it, was fiat to us, in
another sense, it is still fatter. Still
our new way is an Improvement upon
the old, for man needs variety of thought
and action to perfect his intellectual.

How a Toad UndreSSeS.

A gentleman sends to an agricultural
paper an amusing description of How a
Toad takes off his Coat and Pants" He
says he has seen one do it, and friend has
seen another do The same thing in the sam
way:
dAbout the middle OF July / found a
toad on hill of melons, and not wanting
him to leave, | hoed around him he ap.
peared sluggish and not inclined to move,
Presently observed him pressing his ell
bows against his sides, and rubbing down
ward. lie appeared so singular that l
watched to see what he was up to. After q
few smart rubs his skin began to burst open
straight along his back. Now, said ],
old fellow, you have done it; but he ap-
peared to be unconcerncd, and kept on rub
bine until he had worked all his skin into
folds on his sides and hips; then grasping
one hind leg with both his hands, he hauled
of cne leg OF his pants the same as anybody
would, then stripped the other hind leg in
the same way. He then took this cast
eff cuticle forward between his fore legs into
his mouth and swallowed it; then, by rails
ing and lowering his head, swallowing as
his head came down, he stripped off the skin
underneath until it came to his lore legs,
and then grasping one Of these with the op-
posite hand, by considerably pulling stripped
off the skin; changing hands, he stripped
the other, and by a slight motion OF the
head, and all the while swallowing, he drew
it from the neck and swallowed the whole
The operation seemed an agreeable one and
occupied but short time.

An Enicure'S Fate.

Mr.. RogerSon, the son of gentleman
of large fortune in England, after receiv-
ing an excellent education, was sent
abroad to make the grand tour. In this
journey young Rogerson attended to
nothing but the various modes of cook
cry and the methods of eating and drink
ing luAuriously. Before his return his
father died, when he entered into the pos
session Of Il very large fortune. He was
now able to look over his notes of epicur-
ism and to discover where the most eX-
quisite dishes and best cooks were to be
procured. He had no servants but men
cooks. Footman, butler, housekeeper,
coachman and grooms were all cooks.
Among those more professionally so
were one from Florence. another from
Sienna, and another from Viterbo, who
was employed for the special purpose of
dressing one particular dish only-the
"docce picante" of Florence. He had
also German cook for dressing the liv-
crs Of turkeys, and the rest were all
French. Mr.. Rogerson had a messenger
constantly travelling between Brittany
and London to bring him the eggs Of q
certain sort of plover near st. Malo, and
a single dinner, consisting of two dishes
only, sometimes cost him upward of fifty
guineas. He counted the minutes be-
tween his meals, and was wholly ab-
sorbed in dcvising means to indulge his
appetite. In the course of nine years he
found his table dreadfully abridged by
the ruin of his fortune, and he was vere-
ing fast to poverty. When he had spent
4 fortune of S75O,0O0 and was totally
ruined, friend gave him Il guinea to
keep him from starving; but short
time after he was found dressing an
ortolon for himself. A few days later he
died by his own hands.

The Health of Printers.

In the course of lecture on the Effects
of Occupations upon Health" recently de-
livered at Leipsic by DR.. Heubner, he drew
attention to the frequency of lead-poisoning
among typefounders, compositors and press
men. In Leipsic itself, the great metropolis
of the German book trade, seventy-seven
per cent. of all who are thus affected belong
to the trades enumerated. Typefounders
are poisoned by inhaling the fumes Of the
metal, while compositors and pressmen in
hale minute particles of the same material.
Fraught with still greater danger is, how
ever, the frequent practice OF compositors OF
br nging their type-stained hands in contact
with their lips or keeping eatables in COM
posing-rooms, etc. The great preventives
against all such chronic poisoning are clean
illness, both of person and in the work-room,
and ample ventilation by the frequent open
ing of windows, etc. As regards lung
diseases, too, printers compare tavorably.
with most other trades, the proportion OF
deaths from this cause being exceptionally
large. The one safeguard against this
danger also is ventilation, which, as we all
know, is sadly neglected in printing.ofiictss
generally by reason of the almost universal
dread OF draughts.

An Extraordinary Scene.

Three years ago a young Christian
Maronite in Turkepkilled Musselman in
a hot-headed quarrel. After lying ever
since in prison the mother of the victim
came forward last February and insisted on
his being sentenced to death. What fol-
lowed the Constantinople correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Press thus describes: 4" AS
the crime was proven according to the local
judicial forms, she obtained from Midhat
Pasha the governor of Syria, frman for
the execution, ard day was fixed for the
hanging. In vain the notables OF all creeds
and races, Musselmans and Christians, ap-
pealed to the old woman to be merciful, for
upon her word depended the life Of the
Maronite. They represented to her that if
he did do the deed it might have been in
sell defence; that at any rate his guilt was
not perfectly clear; that he had already
grievously suffered in body and mind by
his imprisonment, and that the people of
Beyrout did not want capital execution
in their midst. Neithert the Turkish ulemas,
the Greek and Armenian bishops, or the
Turkish officials could soften the obdurate
heart OF this cruel woman. Il have the
frman for his execution she said, and his
tate is in my hands. will not spare him.
In the night OF February 9Th, three hour.
after midnight, he was taken from his cell
and led to the place of execution. An i'm
mcnse crowd of people gathered around the
scaffod. There took place scene OF the
most extraordinary kind. The woman was
told by the execuioner that the mans rela-
tives we're ready to pay her any sum in their
mower if she would, as custom authorized,
allow him to 20 free on the payment Of
blood money. She shrieked and foamed for
vengeance. For an hour and more she re-
fused to be merciful, notwithstanding the
entreaties OF the mass Of men, women and
children. In the meanwhile the young
man stood on the gallows with the halter
about his neck, trmbling for his life.
Finally, worn out by The prayers Of the peo-
pie, and tempted by tie high figure to which
the relatives of the Maronite had run
tie bid for is life, she consented to accept
5000 as blood money. The hangman let go
his ho'd OF his expected victim, and handed
him ever to his relatives, who carried him

Words of Wisdom.

Cheerfulness is the daughter of employ
ment.
Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly
leaves the worst for the day when it comes.
Harmony and good will toward men
must be the basis of every political estab.
lishment.
In order to dispose our hearts in devo-
tion, the active life is to be preferred to the
contemplative.
The happiness of the tender heart is in
creased by what it can take away from the
wretchedness OF others.
Great vices are the proper objects of on
detcstation---smaller faults of our pity; but
affection appears to be- the only true source
of the ridiculous.
No man has come to true greatness who
has not felt in some degree that his life be-
longs to his race, and that what God gives
him He gives him for mankind.
The very heart and root of sin is an, in
dependent and selfish spirit. We erect tn
idol self, and not only wish others to wor-
ship it, but We worship it ourselves.
Universal love is a glove without fingers
which fits all hands alike, and none closely;
but true affection is like glove with fin
gers, which fits one hand only, and fits close
to that one.
