DONORS DIFFICULTIES.
From the SpectatOr.)

We wonder whether all men are liberal
in their day-dreamS, and indulge them
selves with imagining, if they were only
rich, how much they would give away, how
their relations should benefit, and how dis
tress shOMld disappear before their
kindly smiles like snow before sunshine.
Certainly some of them are, or that kind
of day-dra am would not be so often men
toned usually with gentle ridicule from
persoas who think themselves better IN
formed. "You will never" the dreamer is
told, "give away much at a time, nor will
YOU give very often. Whatever your
wealth, you will never seem rich to your
self; nor will your expenses and the
claims on you ever cease to mount, until
YOU find that your true surplus, the money
which you Can spend either on yourself or
your neighbours without reason assigned,
the surplus cash, is proportiOnately no
larger than before. You will not give
away your principal, lest you should want
it; nor your income, because you do want
it; and your odds and ends of money arc
always convenient to be parted with"
That is always the view of the cynically
sensible characters, and we suppose they
are in the right, go far as this,-that wealth
will not often modify character, that the
stingy, if suddenly enriched, would still
keep their money, and that the liberal, if
made wealthy, would still observe the
same proportion between their gifts and
their possessions, a proportion based on
some idea in their own minds which riches
would not alter. Nevertheless, scale is a
great element in liberality, and we imagine
that there are people who, if suddenly en-
dowed with fortunes of the secure kind,
would at adj events appear to give very
largely indeed. They would not give pro-
portionally mere than before, but the total
amounts would be very heavy. The SUBJ
ject, however, is not quite exhausted by
that decision, for the further question arises
whether the liberal man become rich would
not BE- deferred from proportionate giving
by the immensely increased annoyances
which he would find to result from that
indulgence. These are very much greater
than the majority of men, who never give
except in silver, are apt to believe, Gifts
of sny large amount, whether made public.
" or privately, always become known, and
frequently evoke a persecution of the
3iver which takes away half the enjoy
mHnt, of life. The liberal rich man is in.
staAtly beset by q crowd of clamoreus
clainants,-think, there are 1000 charities
in london, and perhaps 500 artistic begging
HtterlwTiters,-who endeavour, by every
kidd of method; to prove to him that they
have claims on his bounty, who beSet him

ttnte6 with any gift, think it indeed q

How We Walk.

e
By means of an ingenious clock-work
apparatus, Marcy, the French biologist,
has obtained number of exceedingly
interesting graphic Illustrations of the
manner in which man walks. The in
strument is a vertical barrel, covered
with finely ruled paper, and as the barrel
is made to revolve by the gearing with
in it, little pencil makes a mark on
the paper, as the person whose walk is
under investigation steps along with the
registering device. A little air-com-
presser, worked by the foot ofthe walker
at each step, sends current of air
through a flexible pipe to the instru-
ment, and gives a more or less up-and-
down movement to the pencil. 1t has
been found that the step in going ur
hill is longer than in going down hill;
that the step is longer for an unburdened
man than for a burdened one, and that
the step is longer when the sole of the
boot is thick and prolonged beyond the
toe than when it is short and flexible.
When a person ascends hill he quickens
his pace, but diminishes its length, and
he does just exactly the opposite when
descending an inclination on the ground.
It would seem that Mafey's observa-
tons point to the advisability of pedes-
TRANS in general adopting low-heeled
boots, with thick, projecting soles.

A Girl Monk.

Matrena IvanOvna, Russian peasant
girl of two-and-twenty, has recently ac-
quired considerable notoriety in her ma
tive land through the fact that, under
the monastic designation of FEATHER
Michael" she succeeded in passing
several months in the cloister of Staraja
Ladoga, without mourning the least
suspicion on the part of her fellow monks
that she was other than she seemed to
be-, Forced by her father to marry u
person whom she detested, she disap-
peared from her home ON the day sue
ceeding her wedding, and upon search
being made, her clothes and two long
plaits of her :" back hair were found
near the Wolchoffi River, as we'll as a
letter in her handwriting, stating that
rather than live with her husband, she
had resolved to drown herself. Her
relatives, believing that she had really
committed suicide, forbore any further
inquiry, and mourned for her as one
dead. She, however, dressed in man $
clothing, appeared last March for adj
mission to the above-named monastery,
and was duly received into the contra
ternity ON probation, taking the minor
vows. and officiating as coachman to
the prior. There is no knowing to what
ecclesiastical dignities she might not in
time have risen, had not unkind fortune
decreed that native of her own village
should have'been sent to Staraja Ladoga
by his master for correction, at the
hands of the brethren, his offense be-
ing inveterate drunkenness. Promptly
recognized and denounced by this in
discreet topper as Matrena Ivanovna, q
friend of his youth, % Father Michael

ties blythe indignant monks, and is now
awaiting trial for imposture upon a re-
iigious community-a crime likely to bt
