Modern Society.

Mrs. Howe's discourse on Modern
Society,"" at the Concord School of
Philosophy, calls up anew the query
why literary people always look with
discomfort on the pageant of the fash
reciprocated. Fifth Avenue drives by
with four-in-hand and does not stop to
expostulate with Bohemia for prefer
riEg steeds of another color, the pale
horses of the imagination. Dives SAL
lies forth respondent in ermine and
diamonds, but allows no SHADE of
displeasure to cross his brow because
Scholasticus occupies yonder height
comprising the entire earth and heaven
with his brilliant distractions. The
philosopher glories in the treasure
house of truth to which he holds the
universal master-key; the poet rejoices
ascends at will like his own skylark :
the scientist has natures endless laby-
rinth of wonders which an eternity
would be too short to explore-all unite
in exalting their respective resources
as the Summum Sonum, the highest
good of existence. Why are they not
content with their superiority? Why
should they enjoy their ideas the less
because others can babble gayly by the
hour without single idea? Why
should they be uneasy in their blanket
because others find supreme bliss in
the latest new node fromParis? Why
should they be disquieted under their
thatched roof because their neighbor
INDUCES fancy for marble? Why
should they fret in their free simplicity
because others find occupation in cum
brous pomp and circumstance? Why.
in short, should they not recognize the
fact that variety is natures delight,
that in the great world plan the bubble
is wrought with as perfect art as the
star, and nonsense holds a patent from
the same divine source as sense.-Home

The Dismal Swami.

A Virginia paper tells some things
which are not generally known about
the Diamal Swamp. It is not u vast
bot sunk low in the ground, into which
the drainage of the surrounding coun-
try flows. On the contrary, it is above
the level ground some fifteen or twenty
feet, as was demonstrated by actual
surveys. Instead of being receptacle
into which rivers and streams empty
and flow, it is in reality an immense
reservoir that, in its vass sponge-like
bulk, gathers the waters that fall from
the heavens and pours them into the
five different rivers which fow onward
to the sea. Any one would imagine
that the Dismal was veritable char
nel-house that spreads its miasmas
throughout the country. On the con-
trary. it is the healthiest place on the
American continent. The swamp is
entirely of green timber. There is
absolutely no decomposed wood; one
sees trees lying around the forests and
swamps. The two principal woods
that grow in the place are the juniper
and cypress. which never rot. They
fall prone on the ground like other
trees, but instead of the wood decom-
posing it turns into peat, and lies in
dissoluble by air or water for ages, per
fectly sound. There, is nothing in the
swamp to create miasma; no rising of
the tides and decomposition of rank
vegetables; 10 marshes exposed to the
burning rays of the sun. All is fresh
and sweet, and the air is laden With as
sweet odors as the fragrant woods in
May, when the fragrance of the flowers
mingles with the pungent scent of the
pine and dogwood. In the ante
days all planters were anxious to hire
their slaves to shing makers in the
swamp on account of its healthfulness.
Mr.. Reddick, a well known contractor,
says he worked gang of fifty hands
for fifteen years in the Dismal, getting
shingles, and in all that time there was
not single case of ague and fever. 1
have seen numerous afidavits of over
seers and agents who have lived in the
swamp their whole lifetime, and they
never knew death caused by miasmi
or solitary instance of ague and fever.
The air is pure and sweet, and the
water, tinged to faint wine hue by the
juniper, is as potent q medical drink as
Is to be found at the famous watering
places of the Virginia mountain spas.
1t is often used by vessels going on a
foreign cruise, on account of its health
full properties, and also because it keeps
fresh and clear for years. 1t is strong
and invigorating tonic, with pleasant
taste.

A Fashionable Woman's PRAYER

Strengthen my husband, and may his
faith and his money hold out to the
last.
Draw the lambs wool of unsuspi-
cious twilie ht over his eyes, that flirta-
tion may look to him like victories.
and that my bills may strengthen his
pride in me.
Bless, oh fortune! ny crimps, rats
and frizzles, and let thy glory shine on
my paint and powder.
Enable the poor to shift for them
selves, and save me from all missionary
beggars. -....-
Shed the light of thy countenance on
my camel's hair shawl. my lavender
silk, my point lace, and my necklace
of dimonds, and keep the moth out of
my sables, beseech thee, oh fortune
When walk out before the gaze of
vulgar men, regulate my wiggle and
add new grace to my gait.
When / bow myself to worship,
grant that may do it with ravishing
elegance, and preserve unto the last the
lily white OF my flesh and the taper of
my fingers,
Destroy mine enemies with the gall
of jealousy. and eat up with the teeth
of envy all those who gaze at my
style.
Save me from wrinkles, and foster my
plumpers.
Fill both my eyes. oh fortune! with
the plaintive poison of infatuation, that
I may lay out my victums-the men =
as numb as images craven.
Let the lily and the rose strive to-
gether on my cheek, and may my neck
swim like a goose on the bosom of
crystal water.
Enable me, oh fortunel to wear shoes
still little smaller, and save me from
cOrns ald bunions.
Bless Fanny, my lap-dog, and rain
down hail-stones of destruction on
those who shall hurt hair of Hector,
my kitten.
Smile, oh fortune! most sweetly upon
Dick, my canary. and watch with the
fondness OF spirit over my two lily
white mice with red eyes.

Railroad Earnings.

Poor's Manual shows that the aggre-
gate gross earnings of all the railroads
from which reports have been received,
covering sorae "a 900 miles, reached in
1879 the enormous sum of $529, ,O00,- :
900 in round numbers, which are the
largest railroad earnings ever reported,
even exceeding those of 1873. The
percentage of increase over 1878 was
eight per cent. The charges for NOV
ing freight, however, have been re-
duced during the year in an almost
equal ratio to the increase in earnings.
The reduction in rates on the New
York Central, Eria, and Pennsylvania
roads alone amounted to over So, 900. :
600, or fifty per cent more than the
increased earnings which have accrued
to the companies. Which simply
means that the public has gained just
that amount in the reduced prics it has
had to pay for every article transported
while these three roads, for doing the
work which q year ago would have
netted them SIG, 600, 900 above the
earnings of the previous year, have a
gain of only Sc. 200. 900 to show for it..
