A Forest Disappears.

An occurrence, which may be par
TALLY or wholly attributable to the rude
shakings which Switzerland has re-
Gently undergone, is reported from
Quarten, in the canton of St. Gall. A
short time ago the people in the neigh
borhood noticed signs Of uneasiness
about the Schnebelberg. The summit
of the mountain appeared to be in a
precarious position, and it was feared
that it might slip down and overwhelm
the Schnebelwald, an extensive wood in
the valley below. In anticipation of a
possible catastrophe, great efforts were
made to cut down and carry away as
many trees as possible, though the men
engaged in the work wrought mt the
peril of their lives. A few days ago,
when fortunately there was nobody in
the wood, deafening report, like the
firing of heavy artillery. resounded
through the valley, and the mountain
was hidden from view by thick cloud
of dust. When it dispersed the Schne-
belberg was seen to be shorter by few
meters, and the beautiful wood in the
Murgthal had disappeared beneath a
huge avalanche of stones and earth.

"KnoMledge is PoMer.n

In a crowded city street an ill-natured
mastiff seized little dog by the throat,
and threatened to strangle him. A
crowd soon gathered, full of sympathy
for the little sufferer and of anger
against the mastiff. Words and blows
were freely used to compel him to let go
his hold, and stones and clubs were
brought as additional arguments. But
the ugly brute held on the more tena-
ciously, and the case of the poor little dog
seemed hopeless.
When everybody was at his wits
ends, dandy, exquisitely dressed,
happened along. Looking with a sort
of contempt on the mongrel crowd, he
said, in a consequential tone, Leave
him to me-" The laugh was general at
his expense.
But, with admirable GOODNESS, draw
ing from his pocket a golden snuff box,
he held two or three pinches of snuff
under the nose of the mastiff. While
the mouth was closed the mastiff could
breathe only through the nostrils. In a
moment the snuff did its work. The
brute began sneezing vigorously,
dropped the little dog, and, half-fright-
ened, took to his heels. The dandy,
looking around complacently on the
crowd, said, knowledge is power
and went on his way.

The following comparison is made
between American and English cities :
There are sixty-four cities in the United
States with a population exceeding 3d.
600; there are forty-four cities with
more than 4O, 900; thirty-four with more
than 5O,0O0; twenty-seven with more
than 6O,OOO twenty-four with more
than $4,000; twenty with more than
100000, and one with more than l,0OO,-
900. London is long way ahead of
New York, but the other English cities
fall below the American cities. Liver
pool ranks below Philadelphia and
Brooklyn; Manchester and Birming-
ham are below Chicago and St. Louis |:
Leeds and Sheffield are below Boston
and Baltimore; Bristol, Bradford and
Stafford are below Cincinnati, San Fran
cisco and New Orleans; Hull, New
castle and Portsmouth are below Wash
ingtO1, Cleveland and Buffalo; Leices-
ter, Sunderland and Oldham are below
Newark, Louisville and Pittsburg.

True virtue is like precious odors-
sweeter the more incensed and
crushed.
The evils of the world will continue
until philosophers become kings, or
kings become philosophers.
The mind has more room in it than
most people imagine, ifyou would fur
nish the apartments.
No man is born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require tutor; though we
can easily learn to be vicious without q
master.
The harsh, hard world neither sees,
nor tries to see, mems hearts; but
wherever there is an opportunity ofevil,
supposes that evil exists.
Ifgood people would but make good
ness agreeable, and smile instead of
frowning in their virtue, how many
would they win to the good cause!
Whoever is an imitator by nature,
choice or necessity, has nothing stable (;
the hexibility which affords this apti-
tude is inconsistent with strength.
An angry man who suppresses his
passions thinks worse than he speaks !;
and an angry man that will chide speaks
worse than he thinks.

ent. Margins may come. and margins
may go, but commissions 90 on for
ever. The average of a days bust
ness nowadays is 300, 600 shares. The
broker that sells 100 shares gets an
eighth per cent. of the par value, or
$l2 so for doing so, and the broker who
buys gets the same commission. 1t
costs, therefore, $25 to turn 2 hundred
shares, or $75, ZOO to turn 300, 600 shares,
and this sum is abont the average paid
for commissions daily. 1t is distributed
between about eight hundred active
members of the exchange, which gives
an average of nearly 500 apiece. OF
course some OF the larger commission
houses get the bulk of the business, but

StrangIIng Widows in Fiji.

There is no uniformity of custom in
Fiji, so that no description of what is
done by any one tribe can be taken as
applicable to all the others. The strang-
ling of widows, however, that they may
be buried with their husbands, seems to
have been everywhere practiced. The
widows brother performs the operation
and is thenceforward treated with
marked respect by his brother in laws
kinsfOlk, who present him with piece
of land, over which the strangling cord
is hung up. Should he, however, fail
to strangle his sister, he is despised.
When woman is about to be strangled, 4,
she is made to kneel down, and the cord
Ga strip of native cloth) is put round
her neck. She is then told TO expel her
breath as long as possible, and when
she can endure no longer to stretch out
her hand as a signal, whereupOn the
cord is frightened and soon all is over
II is believed that if this direction be
followed inscnsibility ensues immedi-
ately on the tightening of the cord,
whereas if inhalation has taken place
there is an interval of suffering.

TEE PILOTS STORY,

We had grown up together, as it
were, Moilie and /, our parents being
near neighbors, and-which does not
always follow-firm friends as well.
They were poor, and suspect that fact
had much to do with their friendship,
for opportunities were always turning
up for helping one another; and have
often noticed that, when near neighbors
are well off and have no need for mutual
help, there is very seldom any friend
ship between them-there is more apt
to be jealousy and competition between
them.
Our parents being such good fr4ehds,
it naturally resulted that Mollie and
followed their example. We went to
school together, read together, played
together; and somehow, when Mollie
was eighteen and / twenty, we agreed
to travel together all our lives, and were
very happy in that arrangement; in
ct, no other would have seemed right
or natural, either to us or to our par
ents.
From the earliest days of my boyhood
/ had a fondness for the water, haunt
ing the palatial steamboats, that fioated
on the great Mississippi river, on whose
banks nestled the city in which we
dwelt, and, at the period to which / am
about to refer, had Just secured a posi-
tion as pilot on a small freight steamer.
1t was not much of a position, to be
sure, nor was there much of salary
attached to it; but small as it was,
Mollie and decided that we could make
it answer for two people, neither OF
them extravagant or unreasonable; be-
sides which, l had hopes of better times
to come, as / had received words of
commendation from my employers and
promises of speedy promotion.
So, early one bright morning, having
obtained days leave of absence, Mollie
and l were married, and, stepping into
a carriage / had hired for the occasion,
we started off, having decided on days
excursion to celebrated cave near by,
this being all the wedding trip we could
allow ourselves; not that we cared in
the least, howeVer-we were too happy
to be disturbed by any shortcomings OF
time or purse.
We had scarcely driven beyond our
own street, however, when we were
brought to halt.
A messenger, whom l reoNgnized rs
belonging to our steamboat company,
hailed me.
+" Here is note for you from the SUI

The Little Ones.

Oh, when at dawn the children wake,
And patter up and down the stairs,
The flowers and leaves a glory take,
The rosy light a splendor shares
That nevermore these eyes would see,
If my sweet ones were gone from me.
And when at eve they watch and wait
To fold me in their arms so white,
My burdens, whether small or great,
Are charmed away by calm delight;
And, shutting out the world, live
The purest moments life can give.
But when at bedtime round me kneel .
Wee, tender, loving, white-robed forms,
With hand upraised in fond appeal
All, then are hushed lies weary storms,
And heaven seems very near to me,
With my sweet dsrlings round my knee!

A Vengeance.


The noise OF angry hosts had fed,
The bittor battle ragged no moro
Where fiery bolts had wrought their scars
And whore the dying and the dead y
In many n woetul heap were flung,
While night above the Kgean hung
Its melancholy maze Of stars.
One boyish Greek, Of princely line.
Lay splashed with blood and wounded sore
His wan face in its anguish bore
The delicate symmetry divine
Carved by the old sculptors of his land;
A broken blade was in his hand,
I'LL slipping from the TO celess bold
That once had swayed it long and well;
And round his form in tatter- fell
Toe velvet raiment lowered with gold.
But while the calm night later grow
He hS I'D the stealthy, rustling sound
OF one trailed on laggard knees
A shat cred shape along the ground;
And soon with Sharp surprise he knew
That in the cncircling gloom profound
A fierce Turk crawled by slow degrees
To where in helpless pain he lay.
Then, too, he witnessed with dismay
That from esprone Turks rancorous eye
Flashed the barbaric lurid trace
OF hates indomitable hell
Such hate as death alone could quell,
AS death alone could satisfy.
Closer the lettering figure drew,
With naked bosom red with fight,
With ruthless fingers clutching tight
A dagger stained with murderous hue,
Till now, in one great lurch, he threw
His whole iIame forward, aiming quick
A deadly, inexorahle blow,
That, weakly ialtering, n Used its mark
And left the assassin breathing thick,
Leveled by nerveless overthrow,
There near the Greek chief, in the dark.
Then he that saw the bafiied crime,
Halt cSrelcssiR his lifes release,
Since death must win him soon as prey,
Turned on his Toe a smile sublime
With pity, and the stars OF Greece
Beheld him smile, and only they.
All night the tS o lay side by side,
Each near to death, yet living each;
All night the grim Turk moaned and cri, d,
Beset with panes OF horrid thirst,
Save when his dagger crept to reach,
BY wandering, Intellectual way,
The PROSTATE Greek he yearned TO slay,
And failure stung him till he cursed.
But when scit promises Of morn
Had wrai ped the sea in wistiul white,
A. band f men with faces worn,
Clomb inland pssiae beetling height

Sought eagerly since TALL of sun,
n And now in CHASTITY change restored.
One raised torch OF ruddy shine,
,Ard, kneeling by theiI leader, one
Set to his mouth goure of wind.
Then the young Greek, with wave OF hand,
Showed the swart pagan at his side;
SO, motioning 10 the gathered band,
That none could choose but understand,
Let this man drink, i" he said, and died.

The debris of Hallett's Point rock, in

exploded in 1877, under supervision OF
General Newton, has now nearly all
been removed from the bottom of the
n hl a
toward making Hell Gate completely
navigable except the demolition of Flood
rock, which is a gigantic stone, and will
not be perforated ready for blasting until
1883. 1t covers nine acres, and work
upon it was begun Immediately after the
explosion of Hallett's Point. An addi-

which there will be twenty-six feet OF

An exchange says that cigarette
smoking is now q fashionable habit,
and one which is increasing at an alarm
ing rate among half grown boys, and it
is the opinion of well-known physicians
that if this habit is not checked ad-
ditions to our asylums will be in order.
A physician, satisfied that there was
death in that form of tobacco. had 81
cigarette analysed. The result was
startling. The tobacco was found to be
strongly impregnated with opium, while
the wrapper, which was warranted to
be rice paper, was proven to be the most
ordinary, quality of white paper
whitened with arsenic; the two poisons
combined being presented in sufficient
quantities to create in the smoker the
habit of using opium without his being
aware of it, and which craving can
only be satisfied by an incessant con-
sumption of cigarettes.
