Miss Mulock's Romance.

1t was "John Halifax" published af-
ter she was thirty Years old, that brought
her fame, and made the task Of earning
her daily bread little less arduous.
Seven years later she was awarded
pension of three hundred dollars year.
She was nearly forty when she married.
In 1865 Capt George Lille Craik, an Off
Ger in the English army, who had been IN
the Crimea, met Miss Mulock, and, nj
though some years her junior, addressed
her and succeeded in winning her hand.
They proved most congenial companions,
and their married life was all they could
wish, with but one exception. The wo-
man whose love for children amounted
almost to q passion, who wrote " Philip,
My King" was denied the happiness Of
feeling baby fingers upon her cheek or
of ever hearing herself called mother.
This was severe sorrow, but even this
pain has been partly assuaged. Strangely
enough, one dark, rainy night, while she
and her husband were speaking of chill
dren and of the JOY and brightness they
bring to SO many dwellings,, there came
a loud ring at the bell and then n furious
knocking On opening the door, lying
upon the sill they found basket en-
closed in many wrappings. When they
were removed they discovered lovely
little baby only few hours old. The
child was wrapped in one roll after an
other of India muslin, and on its breast
was pinned note begging Mrs. Craik to
be kind to the little waif thus brought to
her door, and assuring her that no mean
blood flowed in its veins. Tenderly she
lifted the little thing in her arms, and
her heart opened us warmly to take in
the poor little deserted creature They
called the child Dorothea, God-given,
and she became their legally adopted
daughter, rs tenderly cherished and as
passionately loved as though she had
been their own.

DIR, Cuyler's Joke.

The Rev. Theodore l.. Cuyler, D. D.,
WAS in attendance Mt the Presby terrain
Council. One day in the week the
butchers had festival of some kind and
were to have grand parade That
morning DR.. Cuyler visited barber shop
TO get shaved. When the knight of the
razor had stretched his customers neck
and pushed his head as far back us pos
sihlc, and filed his eyes, nose, and mouth
aith lather, he said to him interrogatively,
aad speaking as n friend:
Well, you're going to turn out to-
day p -

Ancient Form OF Dress.

How did we come to possess our pres
ent form of dress? This is one of the
many questions answered by reviewer
in the Nature. Clothing ut frst was al
most entirely ornamental. The excep-
tons were such articles as belts from
which instruments of various kinds could
be suspended 80 as TO be ready for use
while the hands were left Free A savage
does not enjoy the luxury of n pocket.
Even at the present day Japanese has
to sling his tobacco pipe and pouch from
his belt, and the only pockets he has are
the germ, so to speak, of the clothing wo
wear. After some time bunch of pan
danus slips was added in front, and this
was gradually extended until it made q
complete fringe around the body When
the arts became SO far advanced TINT
man could make paper cloth or some
woven material these latter we're subsh-
tuted for the primitive fringe, and the
kilt was thus developed. Curiously
enough, the dress of the Scottish High
landers embodies these two stages OF
progress in the kilt and the sporran. As
man advanced there were Inconvenience
attending the use of the kilt, which were
abated by fastening that garment at one
point between the legs, and the human
mind was then fairly set upon the path
to arrive at the attainment Of pair Of
trousers When the back and shoulders
needed protection the savage used tho
skin of some animal, and it is from this
sort of covering for the upper part Of the
body that we have derived our coats
vests, shirts, &c. But the ancient cloak
form is even yet retained, not only by
such people as Zulu chiefs, but in all
robes of ceremony by dignitaries of Court
and college of the most highly civilized
nations on the face Of the earth The
elaborate and varied head coverings Of
the present day all sprang from very
simple original type.

Solomon and the Blacksmith.

The story goes that, during the build
ing of Solomon's Temple, that wise ruler
decided to treat the artisans employed on
his famous edifice to a banquet. While
the men were enjoying the good things
his bounty had provided, King Solomon
moved about from table to table, endeav-
oring to become better acquainted with
his workmen. To one he said:
My friend what is your trader"
:" A carpenter.
"And who makes your tools ?"
1.-The blacksmith, replied the carpen-
ter
To another Solomon said:
"What is your trade ?" and tho reply
vas
"a mason"
"And who makes your tools ?"
1.-The blacksmith, " replied the mason.
A third stated that he was stone
cutter, and that the blacksmith also
made his tools. The fourth man that
King Solomon addressed was the black
smith himself. He was n powerful mnn
with barred arms. on which the muscles
stood out in bold relief, seemingly almost
as hard ma the metal he worked
"And what is your trade, my good
man ?" said the King.
Blacksmith, laconically replied the
mau Of the anvil and sledge
"And who makes your tools ?"
" Make EN- myself said tho black
smith.
Wheraupon King Solomon immediately
proclaimed him King Of Mechanics, be-
cause he could not only make his own
tools, but all other artisans were forced
to go TO him to have their tools made.

Adventures OF An Eronaut.

The ST. Petersburg Herald contains
the particulars of the adventure of the
Russian eronaut Rudolph, who assembled
in balloon, and had been several days
reported missing 1.-THE day selected
for the fight wasnot good one, the wind
being strong and boisterous. My COM
panion WIS Professor Baranovsky, of the
Meteorological Observatory. On enter
ing the car, / sang out to the twelve
sailors holding it, to let 60 As tho
men dropped the ropes sudden gust of
wind struck the balloon and dashed it
against some neighboring trees, the
branches of which tore a hole In the silk
before it had time to RISE threw out
ballast but to no purpose. The car
drifted along the ground till it APP
preached lake, whom ] begged the Pro-
fessor to leave it, with his Instruments.
The sailors, running up just then seized
hold Of the ropes and enabled Baranov-
sky to get out. They begged me earnest
ly to do the same, on account OF the
dangerous condition of the balloon, but
! refused. The Professor being clear of
the car, | shouted to them TO let 60
All obeyed the summons except one
man, who was carried several feet into
the dir and dropped amid general roar
Of laughter After this the balloon sailed
along tolerably well, and flew for fifty miles
through the air, when, the gas being OK
hausted, it fell near the village Of
Rootchi. In very few minutes it was
surrounded by men and women, who
proceeded to tear it to pieces, and APP
propriate MI the articles in the CIR, in
Guiding fifteen guinea binocular glass,
forgotten by Professor Baranovsky. In
all probability l should also have ex-
perienced rough usage but for the OPP
perfume arrival of a Colonel of the Inn
perial Guards and two soldiers from q
neighboring chateau For a few min
utes the peasants refused to release me,
and deiied the Colonel, but his deter
mined attitude aud threats to send for
more soldiers, coupled with the presents
of few roubles to buy them drink,
induced them to relinquish me, though
not my property. The Colonel very
kindly took me home, and afterward put
me in his carriage, with the balloon, and
giving me two soldiers to protect mo,
sent me OFF to the railroad station.

RhYming Made Easy.

Tho Tribune has fitted up room for
the exclusive use of it's poets, and has
introduced its new system of rhyming
charts, which are designed to aid those
Of cur songsters who never have any
difficulty in whooping up the sentiment,
but are occasionally little shy on the
jiugle part Of their otherwise highly
croditablc productions. The charts con
tain words that rhyme pretty well, and
are adapted to any kind of poetry, from
the Papa's-stepped-on-mother's -bunion
order to the wierd, moving machine
verses of Swinburne. When a poet
wants something that goes along smooth
and easy, like Maud s. or the price OF
wheat, he has only to glance at the one
syllable chart, which contains words
like:
Lime, Time,
Crime, Dime.
If he is in search Of something with
little more get-up to it, he can refer to
the next one, which contains words like:
Item, Benson,
Fly-time, venison,
Redress, Despot
Maud s., Guess Not. 4t,s.
If the Swinburne metre Is what he
wants, Chart No. 3 may be studied to
advantage. 1t reads: "a
Azure Sky, Daffodil's Glow,
Refrigerator, Sorrel Horse.
And 80 forth. All poets are cordially in
yited to come in and try the scheme.
Take the elevator. 1t may fall some

Diving for Fresh Water.

They have no fresh water on the shore
Of the Persian Gulf at Bahrin, but copi-
Gus springs close by at the bottom of the
sea. The fresh water is got by diving.
The diver, sitting in lis boat, winds a
big goat-skin bag around his left arm, the
hand grasping its mouth, then takes in
his right hand a heavy stone, to which is
attached a strongline and thus equipped,
he plunges in and quickly reaches the
bottom. Instantly opening the bag over
up the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and is helped aboard.
The stone is then hauled up, and the
diver, after taking breath, plunges again;
and the queerest thing abont it all is that
the sources of the ccpious submarine
springs is thought to be in the green hills
Of Osman, some five or six hundred
miles distant.

An Egyptian Inyane Asylum.

Ancient Egypt had a high civilization,
and it exhibited itself in the wisdom with
which the insane were treated At each
extremity of Egypt was built temple
to Saturn, where lunatics of various de-
grees were brought by their friends.
The temples were surrounded by beauti-
full shady grounds, and patients were
provided with every form of amusement
and recreation that could occupy the
mind and invigorate the body. Here,
also, the finest works of art were brought.
Music, wine, employment, fixing the at
tention and exercising the memory, were
the principle remedies used, and none
but the most violent maniacs were put
under any personal restraint.
