Art Education.

The choice Of reading for all who in
auy way addict themselves to art, de-
serves careful consideration. Many
minds in the present day are lost by
aimless miscellaneous reading inces-
sanity supplied by periodicals and Cir
culating libraries. Tho wholesale de-
vouring of all sorts of lietature, espe-
cially fiction, for which the vicious APP
petite is Unsuitable, seems to have no
better purpose than to fill empty minds
and TO waste away the time that lies on
hand idle. Surely, one of the first
things for youth on entering serious
ly upon life TO determine is systema-
tic course Of reading, the choice of
books which, while bearing somewhat
on daily avocaIions, shall bring variety
and serve for recreation, and with this
end | would suggest some OF the many
forms Of art literature. If the students
desire to mingle amusement with in
struction, know not where he can bet
ter seek for the happy combination
than within The sphere of art, wherein
fact and fiction, romance and reality 60
hand in hand. If he seeks adventure,
let him read the exploits of Salvador
Rosa painter and improyisatore -
among the bandits OF Calabria. If he
is fond of aneclote, he may seek tho
origin of the painters art in the ro-
mantle myth of the Grecian girl who
traced her lovers likeness on marble
slab, or he can peruse the pleasing and
not quite apocryphal stories OF how
Charles V. graciously picked up the
brush which Titan had let fall on the
ground; how Philip w. took the pencil
from the hand Of Nelasquez and dubbed,
or. rather, daubed, the painter Knight
of Santiago; or how, MS a cousumma-
ton of condoScension, Francis |, re-

Coming nearer home, the history OF
our English art, especially in the time
of Sir Joshua Reynolds, with his brill
liant associates, Garrick, Sheridan,
Goldsmith, johnson, Burke, and Bos-
well. offers chapters so vivid in per-
sonal incident that the novelist has sell

Italian Emigration to America.

On this subject the Naples correspon-
dent of the London Times writes.
attention is being drawn here to
the constant and increasing emigration
of Italians to the New World. A large
batch left Marseiles last week, TO
certain extent this may b. explained
by local circumstances. but, il so, the
emigrants had left their native country.
Statistics show u.s. says q morning pa
ger, that 100000 Italians have left
their mother country during the last
ten years to seek their fortune and la
Dor in foreign land. This has now
assumed fixed quantity--that is, above
100000 annually. From 1861 to 1870
the number was the same rs in the pre-
ceding ten years. Emigration con-
tinues the writer. 'is an evil so far as it
deprives society Of vigor and life; yet
it cannot be prohibited, as every one
has the right TO work And work
enough, he contends, may be found in
Italy. Look at those deserts of Sar-
DINA, the Tavolierc of Puglia, the Agro
Romano, and the Tuscan Maremma
Look at the wretched pcasantry Of Gre
mona and Mantua, who wander from
commune TO commune with their wives
and children, exhausted by want, bowed
down with misery by the paVogrd and

from there being surplus population,
even more hands would be required to
cultivate the immense tracts of country
which are now Abandoned; but Gov
eminent cannot do everything in twen-
ty years /, is owing to this want OF
labor that our large towns and Naples
especially are filled by miscreants
who prey on the richer classes and
that, too, with ferocity which might
make savage blush. In daily paper

Poor Polliel she suffered great deal.

that she should surely be an old maid

"Pollie, dear, hasn't this gone on

Unhappy People.

You can destroy every possibility of
happiness or peace Of mind by taking
it for granted that every mans hand is
against you. BE constantly afraid lest
some one should encroach on your
rights; be watchfu against it, and if
any one comes near your possession
recent it liercely. Contend earnestly
for everything that is your own, nj
though it may not be worth pin.
Never yield point. BE very sensitive,
and take everything that is said TO you
in the most serious manner, Be jeal-
Gus of your friends lest they should
think enough of you; and if at any
time they should seem to neglect you,
put the worst construction on their
conduct Make no allowance for their
private woes or perpleSities, which
may divert their thoughts from your
important self; act on the belief that
though their hearts are breaking they
should be smiling and courteous to
you, and Immediately be "on your dig
nity' if they seem grave and pre-oc-
cupied. BY this means you will be
sure to lose their friendship finally,
and thus add another to your many
reasons for being unhappy.

The Best Farm Horse.

Years ago, when faster horse than
then existed was desirable, there was
reason in the attempts to improve the
speed of the animal, but there is hardly
a doubt that the good of the farmer has
been nearly altogether lost sight of in
the desire to get horses of great speed,
The best farm horse is the strong horse,
and one that can step out lively, and
has endurance to get through days
work without great fatigue The busi-
ness of raising fast horses is altogether
distinct from the business of the farm
er. 1t is a source of excitement to see
horsc-race, but when farmer
thinks the horse he sees racing is the
one he ought to have on his farm he
makes a mistake. The heavy Norman
horse would be more profitable than
the one that was simply racer.

Habits.

A man has the power to make him
self what he pleases. If he accumu-
lates bad habits the time comes when
they are a nuisance to him. The habit
of self-control is but the accumulation
of continued acts of self-denial for a
worthy object, the repeated authority
of reason over impulse jmy'acnt over
inclination, sense over desire. One
who can govern himself with judgment
and intelligence, and without fear, has
the secret of all true power, Such
an one can boast of liberty. He is
free man. The will of self-control
does not diminish, but constantly in
creases in strength, and there is scarce
ly any limit to its attachments. Too
few seem to realize this important
truth.

Profanity's Provocstives.

There are some things With human
nature cannot endure with anything like
equanimity. No matter to how many
churches man belongs when he sits
down on tack he always. thinks the
swear he may not utter, and when a dia-
bolical bit of ice with malicious intent
gets in his way and he comes down on
the sidewalk with an impact like that of
a Roman ca.apult, and he nearly bites
the end of his tongue off, while his hat
in hilarious mood rushes down the street
as fast as a schoolboy out of school at
recess, and his glasses sink in the tur-
bid stream that flows in the gutter, good
Christian people will remember that the
provocation is great, and lend deaf
ear to the volcanic expletives with
which he expresses his opinion of the
way in which this world is put together.
When man is habitually profane there
is no excuse for him whatever. But
when in great emergencies such as we
have described the mother tongue offers
its most explosive words, and they are
accepted. even the deacon of a church
must be forgiven. We are all human,
some more so and others less, and an
active hornet industriously inclined and
thoroughly acquainted with his business
will throw us off our balance before we
know it, and leave us with large lump
on our face and big, big ID in our heart
of hearts.

Under Water Lamps.

A new method of Illuminating The
tanks at the Royal Aquarium, Westmin-
ster, was lately shown by means of the
''Faure" electric battery. and which, so
far as it went, was successful charac-
ter. The lights shown were, to the
number of six, submerged in the tank
at the foot of the west staircase with ex-
cellent effect, showing up every fish and
plant with great distinctness-a result
impossible to attain under the old sys-
TEN of gas illumination. One of the
great advantages of the electric over the
gas lighting system is that the fish do
not seem to mind in the least the close
proximity of the incandescent lamps.
while at the same time they do not
suffer from the noxious emanations
evolved during the combustion of gas.
Under Mr. Faure's system asteady light
of almost any intensity can be obtained,
while the engines, which can be run
without cessation during the whole Of
the twenty-four hours of the day, effect
a great many savings by their power Of
storing the electric energy, while at the
same time they obviate the danger of q
sudden accidental extinction of the othel
light employed. The electricity used
for the lighting of the tank was gener
ated in Woolwich and carried down tc
the aquarium, where it arrived but &
short time before it was used.
