The Sister.

Jealousy. from whom one NAV receiyc

or a friend Ia iill the vacant niche. but
no friendship DIT cousinly feeling Is am
pie enough. Our friends and cousins
are apt to talk US over with each other;
they ge not always charitable 10 our
little faults; our Shortcomings arc not
pieced "a by ans skill Of theirs; We
are at the mercy of their moods aud

She makes our troubles her own;
whatever hurts u wounds her; she
abets and encourages US; ~eNtenustes
our faults, publishes our virtues. In
every family of sisters there - n
brighter than the rest. who gilds the
ignorances and lack of brilliancy OF the
others; n prettier than h rest, Tor
whose sake the Others receive aitcn-
ton; one stronger than the rest. upon
whom they lean. and thus they bolster
and shield each other. The sist.rless
girl never tastes the flavor OF sisterly
talks latter the ball" or over the

she has few TO all her. and often pre-
SCENTS the appearance Of dowdlness for
lack Of n little genuine advice. A sis
ter desires nothing 80 much IS that one
should look ones best; u friend, alas
is sometimes better pleased when n
appears at ones worst. Moreover. sis
tiers are rarely jealous; praise of n
reflects upon the other; blame of one
is only a backhandcd insult To the
other. since they hold everything ! IA
common, and Rue does not care Ia be
ilattercd ut the expense of Lily. The
beauty would like To share her loyli-
ness with the plainest; does not enjoy
shining, unless her sister strikes
sparks, whom it is no pleasure TO rival
in any respect. To be sure, there is
the exceptional sister who is more like
a changeling than anything else. who
betrays condolences, estranges lovers,
demands the lions share of everything
but work, and shirks care; but she is
more rare, thank Heaven. than a four
leaved clover. and we are more likely
TO find her in novels than in real life

the influence of climate is also admit

difficulty from other causes which may
be operating simultaneously; but if all
things were otherwise equal. it would
seem that southern are less favorable
to longevity than northern climates. A
country life is doubtless favorable to
longevity; but even in large cities. and

A Curious Stone.

An Oxford Museum contains q strange
stone. 1t is composed Of carbonate of
lime. and was taken from n coliery
drain. When the miners were at work
the water running through the drain
left a deposit .colored black by coal
dust. but when they were not At work
the water ran down clear and left a
white deposit. In time these black and
white layers made a stone of considers
bic thickness, which constitutes quite 3
calendar. Each day of work has left =
black streak. and is followed BY a white
streak for the night. Wide white
streaks marx the Sundays and other
holidays, from which circumstances this
remarkable stone is called "The Sun

A Goat Excitement.

MAYBE there is V any excitement
at the West End, but you can't make
the people who saw n colored gentle
man try To lead a goat through that
district Che other day believe it. At
the colored gentleman. who was about
ten feet ahead of the animal, pulled
vigorously on the rope. He had just
got his whole strength on it, when the
goat changed his mind and started for
ward SO suddenly that the colored gen.
tleman didn't have time to recover his
balance and went down, and as the
goat ran past him and kept running.
he was dragged along. clawing wildly,
until his head collided with a lamp
post and he brought the procession toa
halt. On regaining his feet the colored
gentleman was very angry and a tor
the goat to kick him. and the goat took
to flight and they flew at a rapid pace
down the street. About five rods ahead
the goat observed a citizen bending
over to look down an open coal hole,
and on reaching him the goat contriYed
TO hit him and the citizen disappeared
down the coal hole like a shot,
just as the colored man stumbled
over the goat. which had come TO
"a halt. A number of people. had
gathered about, and then the goat took
q notion to turn and 60 the other way.
and he got the rope so entangled in
peoples feet that seven were upset and
much blasphemy resulted. The man
down the coal-hole then attempted TO
climb ora apA~nf Ii, Lao.l onIcl,n,lI
ers aboypsSround when the goat made
another rush ut him.. and-he bad 10
dodge d0gcf again. And then the goat
assaultedEAS owner, who went up a
lamp-post, and then the goat went for
another man. and, as the owner had
6ed the rope to his belt, be Was yanked
off that fHalp -post quicker than powder.
Fortunately fOe him, his belt broke, and
he sprsng to his feet and took off to-
ward Harvard College, yelling fire, and
the goat suddenly jumped into an open
window, scared a woman into a faint
ing hit, and upset a table on which stood
a dish of hot water. He got most of
the water upon himself and, made
more frantic by pain. jumped out of the
window again, butted a bulldog and
stove in three of the CANNES ribs, and
then disappeared down the street
amidst . cloud of dust, Just as = police
man came around to shoot him.-~And
the man down the coal-hole came up
with awful expressions on his face md

five dollars to anyone who would tell
him whom TO sue for damages.-Boston

TIE system of conducting the Brit
ish Government by a Ministry chosen
from the strongest party in the House
of Commons dates from the time of
William LII. in 1859. Previous to that
all the Ministers had been independent
of each other and responsible 10 the
sovereign alone. who might dismiss one
great officer of jSta.e and retain the
rest. The idea of a homogeneous Min
istry was first carried out by Robert,
Earl of Sunderland, who successfully
held Office under Charles III. James IL.
and William Of Orange.

requirements by injudicious political ac-
tion. The Worcester Spy has the follow
ing editorial in its issue Of the 10th inst /:
BY his own showing, Ex-Governor Gar
celon, of Maine, Is very poor creature.
He Is doing his best, now, to have 1t be-
lieved that the conspiracy to count out
Republican members Of the Legislature.
was not his conspiracy, and that he knew
nothing about IL ''until he heard Of 1t In
the newspapers" Others may have done
what Is charged against them; but he him
self is innocent, infinitely innocent. He
did not know what the conspirators had
done, until the committee, before which he
has testified, gave him from the record q
very few convincing views OF some Of their
scoundrelly operations. He professed
amazement; he had aimed TO have the work
done properly; he trusted men whom he
supposed to be honest and honorable. Poor
fellow! He trusted and was cheated, de-
ceiyed, and made to bear the odium OF
foul conspiracy for which he was in no way
responsible. Perhaps Ex-Governor Garce-
lon is the weak, stupid creature which he
appears to be, in his own declarations; but
there are many people who are not ready TO
believe that he was either ignorant or inno-
cent of the rascality which he now disowns.
He finds himself unable 10 escape the odium
Of this rascality, either at home or any
where else. Therefore, he now processes
innocence, and talks about the matter as
he talked to the committee. II may be
that he was the weakest and stupidest man
engaged in the conspiracy; but he should
not ask us to believe he did not know what
the conspirators were doing.
