A man that lacks Kindness of feeling
and natural civility or that seldom speaks
of the virtues Of those about him, to
commend, but almost always of their
fsults. TO blame, and who indulges freely
in the sneer aud taunt, or bitter sarcasm
and irony, isa great loser. 1t is a bad
thing and bad sign TO be disliked, ex-
cept by the wicked, or when it is OWN G
to the brave utterance Of unwelcome
truth. And then the mems sibi conscio

be sufficient consolation.

deficient in natural civility, will not
take the pains to be lik d, who will not
be kind and civil enough to be loved. 1t

not try to ingrait 1t there, and 80 they
go through life without being loved, and
without receiving or comforting fsvors
except upon their own circle Of family

The Happy Moment in a Boys Life.

There is time in the life OF every
boy when his spirits are buoyed on
waves of unadulterated felicity, and
that time is on a fine bracing morning
when the circus comes to town aad is
giving its pageant.
In the country the boy who is COM
pelled to 90 to school onthis eventful day
ieels what he considers a punishment
more keenly than does forger his well
merited five years in Sing Sing. As he
sit. and cons his hateful lessons he feels
as mean as does the man who buys q
dollar and a hal new silk scarf by ga
light and discovers on the following
morning that it ia grassgreen.
His melancholy is not soothed by the
soul-melting strains of "Lanigan's Ball"
or "Grandfather's Clock" The happy
boy is the one who can follow the high
ly colored wagons from street TO street
and marvel at their c.ntents.
1. is one of the happiest moments of
his life. He drives his hands into his
pockets, pushes his cap on his head, and
marches sloLg as proudly as though he
were Alexander wading up to his neck in
human gore. His thoughts will never
be known, but they are pretty respect
able in regard to fight and general sym
metry.
Then he goes to learn the occult mys-
terry which surrounds the creation of a
tent. His spirits are now the acme of
human bliss That afternoon he goes to
the circus, and the junk man gets three
stove-lids and copper-bottomed pre-
serve kettle for twenty five cents.

There is no modern fashionable notion

idea, that 10 be beautiful and attractive, a
woman aust possess wan, spirttelte face
and a figure of sylph-like pfoportoDs-a
fragility in nine cases out OF ten the result
OF disease. BY many fashionable bellies 1t is
considered special compliment to be
spoken Of as frail and delicate. They forget
that the naturally delicate face and petite
figure are very different from the pale and
disease>stricken faces that meets us In the
city thoroughfares; look out from the lux~
uriant carriages of wealth, and glide lan-
guidly through our crowded drawing~roomS.
IL disease were questionable, as it ought to
be, not lady in the land but would take
every possible precaution to secure the
fresh, blooming iace and well'rounded hgure
that only health can give. Ladies should
remember that much as gentlemen may pro,
fess to admire the face and form, paled and
emacisted by disease, when they choose a
wife they prefer a blooming. healthful,
buoyant'spirited woman. DIR. Pierce's Fs,

standard remedy for female diseases an

Gas and Electricity.
New York Tribune,

AT the regular weekly meeting Of the
New York Polytechnic Society. last
evening, in room "a OF the Cooper Insti
tute, Ernst Schenrock explained briefly
a new system OF gas lighting. The sys-
TEN was invented by Julius Pintsch, OF
Berlin, and is nd pied especially to the
lighting up of railway carrisges, large
buildings and floating buoys. The gas
is distilled from fat or petroleum refuse,
is very rich and brilliant, and the cost
is far below that of coal gas. The ad-
vantsges claimed for it are due to the
peculiar method.9f manufacture by the
furnaces designed by Mr.. Pintsch. The
gas is dry and permanent, without mois-
ture or sediment, and it suffers 10 loss by
condemnation in the pipes. II has been
used for several years in Europe, on the
principsl railroads of England, Russia
and Germany. Between 6,q00 and 600
cara on these railroads have been Pre-.
vided with the gas, and it is used also in
the saloon 'carrlsg's OF the emperors of
Russia and Germany, and in that of the
Prince Of Wales. 1t has been adopted
on the whole line by the directors Of the
Metropolitan Underground railroad OF
London. 1t is used in n compressed form,
and on railroad cars is contained in tanks
or cylinders attached TO the bottom of
the cars. Its use is not dangerous, the
gas being subjected only TO pressure Of
ninety pounds to the square inch, and is
not explosive. The supply is controlled
by delicate regulator, which maintains
steady and regular fame in the lamp.
The gas has been used also in Lighting
buoys 10 mark the entrances Of hsrbors,
and for that purpose has received the
approval of Trinity House, London.
Permission has been received from Sec
retary Sherman to admit, free of duty,
buoy TO be exhibited in this harbor.
The arrival Of the buoy is expected
within a lew weeks. 1t ia said to be
probable that the gas viii be adopted for
use on the Metropolitan Elevated rail.
road in this city, which would save, it i
said, $50 day in the lighting OF its cars.

The Amazon and Its Tributaries.

Extensive, important and profitable as
onr rivers are in respect to commerce and
development of the country, they are
wholly unequal to the rivers of south
America. The Amazon alone furnishes
a host of wstery resources. and is fitly
named the Mediterranean of that conti-
nent. Together with its tributaries, it
is navigabie by steamers, according to
official reports, for 26, 1853 miles; its av-
erage breadth in Brazil is four and one
fourth miles; 1t rises, when high, fifty
four feet above its ordinary level, and its
volume IL 90 vast that sailors at sea

Eve hundred miles from shore. The
volume of the principal rivers of our
sister continent is, In proportion TO the
area drained, far greater than the volume
of rivers here, on account of increased
rainfall. The annual rainfall on our
Atlantic coxst averages from forty to
