At the Stamp window.

Just before IL O'Clock in the forenoon
there were thirteen men and one woman
at the stamp window of the pOstoffice.
Most of the men had letters to post for
the Eastern trains. The woman had
something tied up in blue matchbox.
She got there first, and she held the sit
uation with her head in the window and
both elbows on the shelf.
us there such place in this country
as Cleveland?" she began.
oh, yes"
''Do you send mail there"
Yes"
sWell, u woman living next door asked
me to mail this box for her. guess it's
directed all right. She said 1T ought to
go for a cent"
Takes two cents" said the clerk, after
weighing it. eff there's writing inside
it Will be twelve cents"
Mercy on me, but how you do
charge!"
Here the thirteen men began to push
up and hustle around, and talk about
one old match box delaying half dozen
business letters, but the woman had lots
of time.
Then it will be two cents, eh?'
off there is no writing inside
"Well, there may be. 1 know she is u
great hand to write. She's sending some
flower seed to her sister, and presume
she has told her how to plant EN-"
1.-Two threesr' called one of the crowd
as he tried TO get tc the window.
Hurry up" called another.
"There ought to be n separate window
here for womenr growIed third.
Then it Will take twelve cents!' she
calmly queried, rs she fumbled around
for her purse.
Yes"
"Well, Id better pay it, / guess"
From one pocket she took two coppers.
| From her reticule she took three-cent
piece From her purse she flashed out q
nickel; and it was only after a hunt OF
| eighty seconds that she got the twelve
| cents together. She then consumed four
minutes in putting on the stamps, asking
where to post the box, and wondering ii
there really was any handwriting inside.
| But woman proposes and man disposes.
! Twenty thousand dollars worth of bust
ness was waiting for twele-cent woman,
and tidal wave suddenly took her away
from the window. In sixty seconds the

\ sudden gleam, the waves lit up
With radiant. momentary hues,
Amber and shadowy pearl and gold,
Opal and blue and unknown blues
And rising on the tossing walls,
Within the ioamiuC valleys swung,
SOFT shades of sea birds, dimly seen,
Flutter and float and call their young.
A moment then the lowering clouds
Settle anew above the main,
The colors die, the waves rise higher
And night and terror rule again.
No more l see the small dim shapes
So unairaid of wind and wave,
Nesting beneath the tempest's roar,
Graded IN what needed--a grave.
But all night long lay and smiled
At thought of those soft folded wings,
And trusting with the trustful birds,
In Him who cares for smallest things.

PATTERNS BY CRYsTALIzATIoN.-T
curious arabasques produced on window
panes by frost have suggested to a
French inventor n system of obtaining
designs for printed stuffs by crystilliza-
ton. He has made experiments with So
lutions of sulphate OF zinc, copper, iron,
alumnia, and magnesia, into which
plates of glass were stepped, and then
allowed to dry slowly at different temper
atures. The crystals thus deposited
formed great variety of fanciful figures,
flowers, feathers, stars, ETC. These may
be fixed by an addition of albumen or
gelatine. If copper plates are used. the
designs thus Obtained may also be made
permanent by eleetrotyping. The great
difficulty is to obtain continuous patterns
to be reproduced on the cylinders used
for printing; but that may be overcome
by using cylindrical plates of copper,
and turning them on their axes while the
evaporation is going on. The crystilliza-
ton is, however, frequently irregular
and leaves blank spaces which spoil the
harmony of the design, but this defect
will probably be overcome by experience.
1t is not certain that the method has yet
been practically employed, but the idea
is ingenious, and probably will be event
ually turned to account.

Tne Valley of AngrOgna.

The Waldensian valleys are now easily
accessible from Turin by 4 railway from
Pignerol, whence a road, traversed by n
diligence daily, takes the traveller to La
Tour, the capital of the district. 1t Is sit
uated ut the entrance OF the Valley OF
Lusurna or Val Pellice to the left, and of
Angrogna to the right. Beyond Angrogna
and parallel with it. but separated by
range of nights, is the Valley of Perouse,
from which opens the valley of st. Mar
tin. Even apart from the stirring histor
ical associations which make every spot
memorable, the home of the Vaudois well
deserves and repays visit. Nowhere in
the Alps is there to be found Il more glo-
riOus combination of richness and beauty
in the lower valleys, and wild mag
nificence and sublimity in the higher
peaks and passes. Except at its
upper extremity, the mountains of the
Val An2rogne are covered up to their very
SUBMITS, With trees; bold masses of
rocks rising from out of the foliage into
splintered perks. The lower portion has
considerable patches of cultivated
ground. The meadows are enameled
with the white, sweet scented narcissus,
cleaning like pearls on green velvet As
the valley narrows, the path winds under
cliffs, where saponaria and the rhodod-
enden display their flowers, whilst moist
hooks offer abundance of the Alpine au-
ricula, and deep blue gentian flowers.
One cannot imagine n more delightful
combination of wooded mountain, and
nesting hamlets and craggy peaks, and,
far beyond, those dazzling SHOWS which
rise over all into the deep blue sky. An
grogna is memorable for its scenery
and for its heroine defense by the Yau-
dois.

\ Short Sermon on Charity.

day" remarked de old man as he wiped
off the end of his nose, "how much poul-
try dis club would send out to de poo
for deir Christmas dinner. When / tole
him we shouldn't send as much as one
wing of lean pullet, he abused me as
selfish an hard-hearted, and preached
me long sermon on charity. Now let
me say few remarks. In de fust place,
poo people am jis as much fixture IN
dis world as de sun or moon. Dey have
allus bin an allus will be. 1 nebbar yit
foun' a poo man who wanted to better
his condishun dat he didn't have lots o
chances to do so. 1t am no mo- de biz
ness of de sun to shine for one sartin
class. If de poo expect it, it am bekase

good it does for a family who am hbin'
on meal an bacon an tea to find big
Christmas turkey on de table? Ten
time out o 1even 1t viii be sold to
de nearest grocery or saloon. When it is
cooked an eaten it's sartin to make some
one sick. Gibin' ole cloZe TO de poo
makes 'em lazy. If a man kin git his

in? Ebery man sot out for a tramp

ten cases of sufferin' poverty in Detroit
whar de sufferers am not directly rapons-
ible fur deir cOndishun, an whar dey
couldn't improve it If dey would. Charity
means to forgive faults in their fellow
men. 1t doan' mean feedin' loafers an
lazy-boneses- Dis club will help a widow
or an orphan, but when it comes to the
gineral poo dey shall have neither sym
pathy nor aid. If de Lord had intended
dat one-half the world should work hard
to support the other half loafin' aroun',
we should have got de news long huff

AsTRoNoMc AL.-Star gazers ought to
be happy. Venus is the glory of the
evening sky, and will continue through
the month to oscillate on her eastern
journey, receeding from the sun, ap-
preaching the earth, and increasing in
brightness and apparent size. For three
months to come the western evening sky
will present grand scenic performance,
IN which Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will
be the principal actors. Venus will ap-
proach Jupiter and Saturn; Jupiter and
Saturn will approach each other. Venus
will meet and pass Jupiter, and after
ward pay her court to Saturn in the same
way. Then Jupiter and Saturn will be
close together, and pass each other just
as they come into conjunction with the
sun; and the grand panorama of single,
double and triple conjunctions Will not
close until Hext May, when Venus comes
into inferior conjunction with the sun,
and her reign as evening star closes
