II is much to be desired for the sake of the
public that the elevated roads, especially the
East Side Road, might find some substitute
fer their present means of locomotion. Inc
puffing noise of the engines, the smell OF the
coal smoke, and the nuisance of flying en-
ders, ought all to be abated, or removed al
together. if possible. The new motor now be-
ing tested by the Third Avenue surface road,
is also under consideration. il seems, by the
elevated roads. The public, which has no
interest in patent rights. but simply desires 10
ride in comfort on the lines, would be glad to
see any safe motor adopted which accompllshes
these ends. Unless we are mistaken, now
ever. the abOminabe cOal-smels which some
times come from the engines, especially on
the Third Avenue line. could be prevented
without the aid of new inventions.
II was about time for the temperance OF

hardly be doing him injustice to say that he
could probably return to New-Orleans to-
morrow and prove how natural it was for him
to make false denial in Washington. The
story told in the affidavit which he now dis
claims was in some of its features at least,
absurd enough He charges himself with
having been bribed to vote for Mr.. Kellogg
for Senator, and supports bis story with the
additional statements that he saw another
member of the Legislature 'gong in to get his

evidence when the afliant now declares
that he signed the affidavit without read
ing it. If it be said that his evidence
i'll Mr.. Kellogg'S favor is not wholly credible,
that fact casts equal doubt upon the testi-
mony against Mr. Kellogg. He has evidently
been lying upon one side of the case or the
other; and as he was produced as witness
against Mr. Kellogg, even Democrats must
admit that the Louisiana Senator stands just
AS well as he did before.

A Providence medical committee
have made careful examination of the
health of school children in that city.
They state that children are adm tilted too
young; that the vtiated air of the school
rooms causes consumption; that epidem ic
diseases are caught there, and that the
premature development ofthe bra in caus-
es nervou. diseases; that the present sys :
tenn forms habits Of Incidence. and that
discomforts arising from sedentary con-
fnement are often the occasion for pun
ishment, hatred of school and truancy.
The committee holds that children should
not be admitted in the schools under the
age Of seven. At whatever rge they are
admitted, the hours of confinement and
intellectual effort should be greatly short
ened. The children in primary schools
should not be confined TO their seats more
than twenty minutes at time, at the end
of which they should enjoy an equal per-
iod of recreation, either in the open air or
in an airy room; and mental and physi-
cal exercise should thus alternate through
the sessions. These changes, it is be-
lieved, would vastly improve the health
of both scholar and teacher, call back the
truant, and make the schools in generable
agreeable rather than irksome. - Heath

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-In Au-
gustin Days great play Of "Under the
Gaslight" Laura Courtland utters these
beautiful sentiments
LET the woman you look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or homely, rich or
poor, she really has but ore thing she can
really give or reluse-her heart. Her
beauty, her wit, her accomplishments she
may sell to you-but her love Is the
treasure without money and without
price. She only asks in return that when
you look upon her your eyes shall speak
mute devotion that when you address
her your voice shall be gentle, loving and
kind ; that you shall not despise her be-
cause she cannot understand, al at once,
your vigorous thoughts and mbitious
plans, for when misfortune and evil have
defeated your greatest purposes-her love
remains to console you. You look into
the trees for strength and grandeur; do
not despise the flowers because their frag
rance is all they have to give. Remember
love isal woman can give-but it's the
only earthly thing which God per mits us
10 carry beyond the grave"

PRICES OF MAGAZINE Work. A wri-

chapter by itself of American progress.

republication of which has paid the au-
thor ST., 1000. think the burst on author
land Of Graham's and Godey's liberal
prices was like sunrise without a dawn.
They began at once by paying their prin-
cipal contributors at the rate of Sl2 p
page-nearly ihrice the amount paid by
English magazines TO the best writers
and paying it, too, on the receipt Of Tho
MSS, and not, as in London. on :he pub
lication of the article" These pricei
have not been maintained. Six dollars {
page would now be an unusually higl
price. The leading magazines, however
with the exception of the Atlantic
Monthly, pay on acceptance of the
MSS, but in some cases it is scarcely
safe for a contributor TO accept these
terms, as the amount of print it will make
may be underestmateG. The leading
English magazines pay fiom S4 to 81 sc
page. Blackwood and London Society
are exceedingly good pay. The Quarter.
ly and Edinburgh pay ordinary contrib
utors a guinea page, but sometime:

You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk
who had faithfully served Stephen Gi.
rard from boyhood to manhood. On the
twenty first anniversary Of his birthday
he went to his master and told him his
time was up, and he certainly expected
important promotion in the merchant
service. But Stephen Girard said tc
him:
VERY well. Now 60 and learn q

"What trade, sir?"
Good barrels and butts must be in de

HAPPY THoUGHTs.-Sorrows are like
thunder clouds; in the distance they
look black, over our heads hardly gray.
The Infinite has sowed his name in the
heavens in burning stars, but in the earth
He has sown His name in tender flowers
Genius loves tolls, impedment and
poverty; for from these it gains strength,
throws off the shadows, and lifts its proud
head to Immortality.
Gentleness which belongs to virtue is
to be carefully distinguished from the
mean spirit of towards and the fawning
assent ofsycophants.
No man is ever good for anything until
he has found two things-frst, something
to love, and second, something TO rever-
ence.
Nothing is more amiable than true
modesty, and nothing is more contemp-
tibe than the false. The ono guards
virtue, and the other betrays it.
Mental pleasures never coy; unlike
those of the body, they are increased by
repetition, approved by reflection and
strengthened by enjoyment.
Overburden not thy memory 20 make
so faithful servant thy slave. Have as
much reason as camel, to rise when,
thus hast thy full load.
The w0rthiest people are the most in
jured by sander as we usually find that
to be the best fruit which the birds have
been peckiag at.
A full blown rose "5esprlnkled" with
the purest dew is not so beaut ifuii as a
child blushing beneath its parents dis
pleasure, and shedding tears of sorrow
for its faults.
Never has one person forgotten his pure
right educated mother. On the blue
mountains Of our dim childhood, toward
which we ever turn an look, stand the
mothers who marked out to us from
hence our life.

LAPS At PICNICS.


The lap is unquestionably most use-
ful and admirable organ. When expend-
ed, the lap will admirably hold fifteen
quarts of chestnuts, peaches, apples or
other desirable fruit, and there have been
women whose laps would hold the entire
supply Of hair-pins required for their
black hair, though, of course, laps of
these enormous dimensions are somewhat
rare. 1t is, however, at picnics and tea
parties that the splendid capabilities of
the female lap are especially displayed
gagged on picnic, to hold a plate of
salad, another of picEled oysters, third
Of ice cream and a fourth of cake, to-
gether with a cup of coffee, on her lap at
one and the same time. In feats CT this
Kind the female lap is unique. The young
man who undertakes to hold to food on
his knees invariably comes to grief. The
utmost he can hope to do is TO balance,
for brief period, plate of salad on the
ridge Of one of his legs, from which il
sooner or later slips, with the most pam.
ful consequences. As for holding a tea,
cup or coffee cup on his knees, he rec
ognizes the utter impossibil!y Of the
thing. His only resource is TO deposit
it on the floor, or on the grass close by
his side, after which he usually steps on
it, or at least kicks it over. This in.
dicates in the clearest possible manner
that man is not by nature a picknick
ing animal. Without laps, picnics are
dangerous to the integrity Of trousers
and legs and there is no way in which
art can remedy the masculine deficiency
OF lap. Let women go 10 plcncs il
they choose. They can do so without
doing violence to their clothing; but man
is flying in the face Of nature when be
undertakes to sit on the grass and tc
manage six different kinds of food. II
is true that pichics consisting Of women
alone would not be popular. Young
men are needed both to eat the legs o
chickens and to go mile and half in
the sun to bring water for the lemonade

THE CHECKER-BOARD.

Up to three evening ago such thing as
a checker board was never known in Mr..
Grattan's house. He and his aged patti
ner have managed to pass the long even
ings very pleasantly, and he supposed
they were happy enough until a friend
from the East paid them flying visit,
and asserted over and over again that the
game of checkers was not only all the
rage there, but that it served to quicken
the perceptive faculties, enlarge the mind
and render the brain more active. After
giving the subject due thought, Mr..
Grattan walked down town and purchased
a board, and when evening came,
he surprised his good wife by bringing it
in from the weod-shed, saying:

two before we 90 over to the social.
