setts, following her New England sisters,
offers the tramp the advantages of her State
Workhouse and Houses Of Correction, but
in such compulsory way as to deprive the
boon of the attraction which it might other
wise have for him. For the tramp is too
sincere lover Of liberty TO- be grateful for
any act which relieves him Of it, even while
insuring him those two prime necessaries Of
his life, free board and lodging. The selec-
ton OF Workhouse as his place Of con-
finement is peculiar indignity 10 the
tramp, whose existence is based on the
avoidance Of work. Whether his practice
in this respect is the result Of thoughtful
consideration of labor as the primal or con-
sequential curse, or is based on an intuitiys
perception Of the value Of leisure, it is not
now necessary to inquire. 1t is enough to
emphasize the rigor of laws which not only
assume the criminality of the tramp, but
effix to it a punishment which is especially
offensive to his sensibilities Atlansse

THE PROBLEM OF SUICIDE.

Two young Englishmen were going ashore
in boat from merchant vessel in Chi
nese port. One of the two-had leveled his
revolver, for amusement, at some object on
the beach, when, just as he pulled the triR-
ger, the other leaned across and received the
whole charge in his head As soon as the
poor fellow saw that he had killed his friend
he put the pistol to his own brow and fell
dead by his side. Was he right, or splen-
didly wrong2 This happened A. D. 1880,

A BLIND SCULPTOR.

e. red r. - u
The most complete triumph of tactual per-
fection over want of sight that history re-
cords is to be found in the artistic skill Of
John Gonelli, sometimes called Gambasio,
from the place of his birth, in Tuscany.
This remarkable person Aost his sight at the
age of twenty, and after having been in this
condition about ten years, he first manifested
q taste for sculpture. His first work in this
art was to initiate a marble figure, repre-
senting Cosmo de Medici, which he formed
of clay, and rendered a strtkingly perfect
likeness Of the original. His talent for
statuary soon developed itself to such de.
gree that the Grand Duke Ferdinand Of
Tuscany sent him to Rome to model statue
Of Pope Urban VIII, which he completed
to the entire satisfaction of his patron. It
is supposed that this Ia the same blind sculp-
tor whom Roger de Piles speaks of having
met with in the Justinian palace, where he
was modelling, in clay, figure of Minerva.
1t is related that the Duke of Bracoiano, who
had seen him at work, doubted much that he
was completely blind, and in order to set
the matter at rest, he caused the artist to
model his head in dark cellar. It proved
striking likeness. Some, however, OBJ
jecting that the dukes beard, which was OF
patriarchical amplitude, had made the oper-
alton of producing seeming likeness too
easy, the artist offered to model one of the
dukes daughters, which he accordingly did,
and this also proved an admirable likeness.

GOOD WIVES.

A good wife is to a man wisdom, strength
and courage a bad one is confusion, weak
ness and despair. There is no outward pro
priety which can counteract Incidence, ex-
travagance and folly at home. No spirit can
long endure bad influence. Man is strong,
but his heart is not adamant. He needs 9
tranquil mind, and especially if he is an in
telligent man with whole head, he needs Q
moral force in the conflict Of life. To recov-
er his composure, home must be place of
peace and Of comfort. There his soul renews
its strength, and goes forth with renewed
vigor to encounter the labors aud troubles of
life. But if at home he hnds no rest, and
there is met with bad temper, jealousy and
gloom, assailed with complaints and CEN
sures, hope vanishes and he sinks into des-
pair. e sa - - ? ~

BOW HERRING ARE BONED.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
writing from Eastport, Me, says: Another
new and interesting work is that Of boning
herring. A New York house has an extern
sive establishment here, giving employment
to some seventy persons, mostly females.
The present capacity is about IL, 900 fish per
week. An excellent account of the process
and business quote from the Journal OF
Commerce: The fish are placed in numbered
barrels, holding about ., 500 herrings each,
and at suitable stands, numbered to cores
pond, sit all the girls whose deft fingers are
to remove all but the eatable portion Of the
fish. Large sharp shears are used to cut off
bladed knife the golden yellow skin is strip
ped of, and half Of the nicely-smoked mus
Gle detached. The backbone and its ad-
herring ribs are as quickly removed from the
other hah, and the prepared meat goes to
other operatives to be punched aud tied.
The prepared halves are rapidly punched in
q rain guage, and secured by knotting with
fancy twine, the object being to pack the
fish SO closely as to retain their freshness and
favor. This object * fully secured by this
process, and in its entirety is secured under

Der 10, 1873. The boxes are now lined with
tin foil and five Of the punches just de-
scribed placed IN each, and carefully covered
with the upper layer Of tin foil, after which
the covers are closed. Perfect cleanliness,
method and accuracy are apparent through
out the establishment, and, as the work is
paid for by the piece, the operatives ore
busy, intelligent and conte,,ted in appeay-
ance, the work going on with dispatch, al
though the amount Of noise and hustle is
singularly small. It isintended soon to ship
the fish in the punched form in barrels to

EHE A0eSOR ANIMAE9AND MEN
Translated from she German.
When the world was created, and all
creatures assembled to have their life
time appointed, the ass advanced first,
and asked how long he would have to
live. orc szstFtf.
@Thirty years" replied : Nature
will that be agreeable to thee?'
"AIast" replied the ass, it is long
timel Remember what awearisome
existence mine win be; from morning
until night shaii have to bear heavy
burdens, dragging corn-sacks to- the
mill, that others may eat bread, while
1 shall have no encouragement, nor be
refreshed with anything but blows and
kicks. Give me but portion of that
time, pray thee" ."3uz sso7k 9dF
Nature was moved with compassion
aud presented him with but eighteen
years. The ass went away comforted,
and the dog came forward.
"How long dost thou require to

Nature thought he was right, and
gave him twelve years. The ape then
approached. aale'ase's
"Thoa wilt, doubtless, willingly

:" 1t is not yet sufficient" reiterated
man "give me more"
sivo ehce, then, the ten years OF

Man departed unsatisfied.
Thus man lives seventy years. The
hrsf thirty arc his human years, and
pass swiftly by. He is then healthy
and happy; he labors cheerfuIIy, ana
reJoices in his existence. The eighteen
years of the ass come next, and bur-
den upon burden is heaped upon him
he carries the corn that is to feed 9TH
ers; blows and kicks are the wages of
ms faithful service. The twelve years
OF the dog follow, and he loses his
teeth, and lies in q corner and growIs.
when these are gone, the apes ten
years form the conclusion. The mar,
weak and silly, becomes the sport of
children.

short distance over. six hundred feet.
The descent is necessarily great, sey-

considerable magnitude. The largest
of these, the Putiah Falls, are about a

public highway, and are reached by a
steep, though passable private wood
road. Up this road, which is cut in
the steep hillside, we follow the wind

jagged rocks, coming ever and anon
