mother died in giving her birth. She
speaks half a dozen languages perfectly.
She is thoroughly educated. Being de-
barred from all human association by
her misfortune, she has sought and
found partial alienation in the cultiva-

one Of the purest, highest and truest
souls. She is very religious naturally
so. She goes out in close carriage and
with her head closely mufhed, and she
speaks without any difficulty but owing
to the peculiar formation of her throat,

her voice resembles very closely the
squeaking of pig.
DISHONEST FoRTUNEs.-We have seen
since the war colossal fortunes of $685.
100000, $50,000,000 and $100,0O0O0O
built up by individuals. We have seen
great corporations enriched and invested
with power. | have said Judge Reagan
and repeat, that no man can by legiti-
mate trade or legitimate speculation,
amass such fortunes in the course of a
brief life. The men that do it are not
generally of bad repute; they are not
understood to have violated the law, but
it is the power misgovernment has given
them.

Publishers say that among the slow
est books to sell they have are pretty
much all volumes of poetry, unless they
come from some celebrated name. The
fashion for verse seems to have gone out
with the latter half of the last century
and the beginning Of this. The current
fashion is for novels, and their name is
legion indeed. How long will it be be-
fore they will be a drug in the publishers
hands. and something else be the rage?
"A story is told in the ReUue Medicale
de ] Est of a patient who lost his life by
aeceiving his doctor. The man was suf
fering from lead-poisoning. The Ply
sician, oddly named Prof. Forget, pre-
scribed strychnia pills which produced
no effect. The dose was increased sue
cessively to two, three, five, and six pills,
without any result. Finally the doctor
ordered the patient to take five pills in
his presence The man did so, and died
IL h oll
the pills previously prescribed were
found secreted behind his bed.
DEATH By DRowNING.-The death Of
the drowned man is not that death which
we essay all our lives by our daily sleep;
it is not that death which simply consists
in sleeping once for all on the pillow
where one has gone to sleep every night
for fifty years. It is death joined to a
struggle, to despair, to blasphemy. Man
is not prepared for it by the excessive
enfeebling of his organs. He does not
expire by imperceptible transitions; tits
not last thread which has parted-but
all his bonds have at once burst asunder.
He dies with his health, with his
strength, his hope, his life-wltAout
friends, without a priest, and in those
immense solitudes of ocean, uttering
cries of agony and despair, which the
whistling of the wind and the tempest,
the joyful cries of the NEW and the sea-
gull, seem to prevent ascending to heaven.
WORTH THE CHARM.-Young men are
mistaken when they think good locks
'neir principal recommendation to Wo-
nan. A woman admires a handsome
man Tor time, but it needs something
more than good-looking face to retain
this feeling. A woman is, as general
rule, more strongly drawn by the intel
lectual qualities of the opposite sex than
by anything else Doctor johnson, Gold
smith, Curran, and Shiel were all very
plain; but they possessed the charm of
genius, which irresistibly attracts the
noble qualities ofwoman. What is above
said is also true of the gentler sex. A
man frequently says of some belle:
eyes, she's very beautiful, but thank
Heaven she isn't my wifew Women
liketo beadmired for their loneliness, and
we do not mean to blame them for it;
but it requires something moresz than
mere beauty to enable them to retain
their influence over men.
One Of the most popular ladies'
wraps is the camels-hair shawl. These
shawls are made of the wool of the
Thibet goat, which is a native of the
mountains and valleys of Tartary. From
the mountain goats come the coarser
wool, while the feeces from all the ami
mails are sent to Cashmere, where they
are bleached, cleaned. spun, and dyed.
After the yarn has been carefully sorted
it is given to the weavers, who are fur
nished with the designs to be followed,
and these designs have been changed
but little during the lapse of ages. The
labor upon single shawl is very great,
as sometimes a Shop full of operators is
though the district of Cashmere can pro-
duce $4,000 shawls in a year, the yield
from its looms falls far short CT that
number.
A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-Away among Inc
Alleghanies there is a spring, SO small
that an OK, in summers day, could
drain it dry. 1t steals it's unobtrusive
way among the hills, till it spreads out
in the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretch
es away thousand miles, leaving on its
banks more than hundred villages and
cities, and many thousand cultivated
farms, and bearing ON its bosom more
than half a thousand steamboats,. Then
Joining the Mississippi, it stretches away
and away some twelve hundred miles
more, till it falls into the great emblem
Of eternity. 1t is one of the great tribu-
taries of the ocean, which, obedient only
to God, shall roll and roar till the angel,
with one foot on the sea and the other
On the land, shall lift up his hand to
