APHORISTIC.

The purest water runs from the hard-
est rock
No ashes are lighter than incense, and
few things burn out sooner.
Fancy is imagination in her youth and
adolescence. Fancy is always eX'
cursive imagination, not seldom, is
sedate.
Whoever is an imitator by nature,
choice or necessity, has nothing stable
the flexibility which affords this aptl'
tude is inconsistent with strength.
To discover truth and to separate it
from falsehood is surely an occupation
worthy of the best intellect, and not at
all unworthy Of the best heart.
Neither worth nor wisdom come with
out an effort and patience, and piety,
and salutary knowledge, spring up and
ripen from under the harrow OF allie
tion.
I feel that am growing old, for want
of somebody to tell me that l am look
ing as young as ever Charming false
hood There is vast deal OF vital all
in loving words.
Merit has rarely risen of itself, but a
pebble or twig is often quite sufficient
for it to spring from to the highest
ascent. There is usually some baseness
before there is any elevation.
A certain amount of opposition is a
great help to II man. Kites rise against,
and not with, the wind. Even head
wind is better than none. No man ever
worked his passage anywhere in dead
calm. Let no man wax pale, therefore,
because of opposition. n.-John Neal.

BULL FIGHTING.

A Portuguese bull-fght is a very diff
ferent affair from the disgusting and
brutal national sport of Spain. The
Portuguese are humane people and
though the spectacle was originally con-
Quoted in Spanish style, it was not long
popular, and now neither bulls nor
horses are killed, and the bull-fghters
run very little risk, as cylinders ending
in wooden knobs cover the animals
horns, and it can only inhict knock
down blow, instead of piercing and tear
ing. The honor of this reform is due to
Pombal, who interceded with King
Joseph !, and induced him to discon-
tinue the sport in this murderous Span
ish style on the occasion of the death of
the Count d'Arcos in an amateur bull
fight. It's related that when the father
of the young count, the Marquis Mirialva,
grand chamberlain ofthe king, saw hisson
fall, he threw himself into the arena and
killed the bull with his dress sword and
that Pombal remarked to the king that
the life of a bull was not, after all, fair
equivalent for that of the Count dArcOs.
Pombals administration was sowed
thick with reforms, which have blossom
ed since, though received coldly at the
time. Few ministers can show more
energetic record than this.
To an amateur of the combats of the
Spanish aceldama the Portuguese exhi-
bition must seem remarkably tame and
insipid, while, looked at from rational,
common-sense standpoint, they are in
deed ''singular exhibitions of imbecility
on the part of all concerned" But the
Lisbonese revel in the sport; the risks
are still sufficiently exciting to stir the
blood, and the display, especially when
the performance is an amateur one, and
the young men taking part belong to
the nobility, is very brilliant. Then
the arena is handsomely decorated, the
costumes of the performers are of velvet
and satin, the horses are the finest in
the kingdom, and the feats of horseman-
ship displayed rival those OF the circus.
ROYALTY honors the scene by attendance,
and the beauty and fashion of Lisbon
shine in full opera dress in the upper
boxes, their white elbows resting on
richly embroidered silk shawls which
drape the front of the boxes in graceful
folds. The companionship of prize
fighters, AMI pugilistic skill OF this des-
cription, are not considered unworthy
the most elegant and accomplished
Portuguese noble.

LORD CORVALLIS HUMILITY,

The London Telegraph publishes tho
following incident, and remarks tn~t
"there is much in the memories of
Yorktown even now to draw living
Englishmen and Americans nearer to-
gether, and unquestionably the bearing
of General Washington at the supreme
moment toward his vanquished and
Inundated enc ~ was of that character
which it is meet and right that historians
should not willingly let die"
Wheel, on the fifteenth of October
1871, Lord CORVALLIS had lost his two
advanced redoubts by storm, he made
an attempt to escape with his rank and
file who were still fit for duty.-rather
more than 1000 in number-across the
river to Gloucester. The attempt was
frustrated, as might have been expected,
when it is remembered that the opposing
forces, French and American, vastly
outnumbered the British, and that a
French fleet of more than thirty sail,
under Comte de Grasse, lay in the ad-
joining river and roads. On the sew
enteenth of October Lord Corn
wallis accepted the inevitable and the
terms of capitulation were settled be.
tween him, as representing the British
side, and General Washington and the
Comte de Rochambeau, as severally
representing the triumphant forces of
America and France. But it is not
generally known that at the moment
when Lord CORVALLIS surrendered to
General Washington the humbled
Englishman simultaneously uncovered
his head. With characteristic thought
fulness General Washington prayed
him to put on his hat, as, the weather
being chilly and wet, there was danger
of his catching cold. cit does not
much matter what now be-
comes of me-" exclaimed the defect
ed Englishman; to which, in firm
voice, General Washington at once re-
piled: "On the contrary, my lord, l
anticipate for you long career of dis.
tinction and honor in the service of
your king and country" How truly
these generous and prophetic words
were borne ont may be seen by those
who care to read the epitaph upon the
monument erected by a grateful country
to Charles, First Marquis CORVALLIS,
in st. Paul's cathedral. Yet memories
of this kind serve only to remind us
that, in Keble's beautiful words,
" Brothers are brothers evermore; no
distance and, it may be added, no
chickering's breaks their tie of blood"
England is, happily, on terms of the
closest amity both with France and the
United States, and no celebrations
of events which happened century
since are likely to diminish the cordi-
ality of their friendship.

There are in Broadway three tive'story
marble front buildings which have stood
idle for fifteen years. This property
should be good for $4,000 a year at the
very least. 1t has not produced dollar
during the long period named. The
taxes on it amount probably to $4,000
a year. The interest on the money in
vested in it must be at least as much
more. If it were rented like other
property, it would have yielded at least
S75O,OO0 in the time named. Instead oi
that it has cost the owners in taxes and
interest not less than 100000. Why Is
it not rented? Nobody knows. There
it stands, year after year, a monument
of vacancy and heavy loss. "To let y
bills are on it all the time, but it does
not let. II belongs to wealthy family
in France, who sent money here many
years ago for investment. They have
never seen it, and its control is entirely
in the hands of an agent. He watches
it closely, and is always polite to persons
making inquiry about it (; but for some
inexplicable reason he never strikes a
bargain with any one. A gentleman,
during visit to France a few years ago,
tried to see the head of the family that
owns it for the purpose of negotiating
for it, but the Frenchman, a gruff old
count, would not give him an interview
The property is going to decay, in the
