The Type Of a Glass.

There is the man who mas made up his
mind to keep his health good by eating
the right sort of food in proper quaint
ties, and with the right kind Of mastica-
ton. Resolution sits on his brow, his
eyes turn scornfully upon his fellow
men, and he deliberately and with NAL
ice aforethought sits in restaurant
with superbly folded arms, painfully
working his mouth as if he were type

in the duty Of staying a bit of brown
bread. He becomes q nuisance to his
landlady or his wife he buys fish
which he eats for his brains, and strug

and sour baked apples, chewing, chew
ing, chewing, while casting contemptu-
GUS chances around at the disguised peo-
pie who are not SO good and are not GO
ing to be SO healthy as he is to be. He
turns his toe out, abhors butter, and
walks ON the side of the street which is
healthiest. His children receive no cam
dy, and his wife receives only scold-
ing because she does not live up to the
laws OF health. He then becomes pale,
fretful and morose, and says of a healthy
man, He lives for his stomach" while

Seal Rocks.

The seal rocks off San Francisco are

selves about among the jagged assures,
and SO utterly unlike any other known
voice of animate or inanimate nature Is
the hoarse, deep cry that goes up inces-
sanity from all the million threats. and
predominates over the thunders Of the
ocean itself. Every rock, from the base
to the peak, is alive with shapeless
things in perpetual motion, t,,mbGng
over each other, twisting, rolling, fight
ing in clumsy fashion with their nncouth
fppers, or plunging with narvelously
smooth, graceful curves into the boiling
foam that breaks ill around their rocky
fortresses. Some are tawny brown or
yellow, and these have had their coats

The Laugh of a Child.

The laugh Of child will make the
hottest day more sacred still. Strike
with the hand of fire, o, weird musicianl
thy harp strung with Apollo's golden
hair; fill the vast cathedral aisles with
symphonies sweet and dim, deft touches
of the organ keys; blow, bagler, blow,
until thy silver notes do touch and kiss
the moonlit waves and charm the lovers
wandering mid vine-clad hillsl But
know your sweetest strains are discords
all, compared with childhood's happy
laugh-the laugh that fills the eyes with
light and every heart with Joy. Oh,
rippling river Of laughter thou art the
boundary line between the beasts and
men, and every hayward wave Of thine
doth drown some fretful fend Of care.
O, Laughter! rose-ipped daughter of
JOY there are dimples enough in thy
cheeks to catch and hold and glorify al
the tears of Grief.

BY EUGENE }. HALL.

The wind through the city was sweeping
With weird and disconsolate tone,
The stars by great storm-c,ouds were hidden,
The streets were deserted and lone,
The Pickering lamps Of the highways
Burned low, with dim. spectral CLEAN.
The revel was over. Twas midnight
And darkness was ieigning supreme.
Adown the damp streets Of the city,
Unmindful Of darkness or gale,
There hurried along the cold pavemelsts
Awoman. distracted and pa!e.
Nor stopped she to rest, though aweary,
Nor paused with feeling CT fear;
She passed, with her proud spirit broken,
Alone to the desolate pier.
Alone by the pillows at midnight
Alone with her sorrow and shame
Alone with her crushed heart and beauty.
With neither home nor name
With memories drifting before her,
That touched her heart and her brain,
OF friends and companions, once loving,
Who never would love her again.
A dark wave rose wildly before her.
With lofty and foam-laden crest;
Her hair in the north wind was streaming,
Her thin hands were clssped to her breast.
A plash in the merciless water
A struggle, gurgle, and moan
The pillows rolled onward above hey
The desolate pier was alone.
o, Death il thy unknown doInin;ops
No pitiless storm-billows roar;
With thee the worn heart may find refuge,
Where trouble may haunt 1t no more.
Thou peace of the sad and the lowly,
Thou comfort of all the depressed,
Thy dark mantle hides all our sorrows-
Thou givest the worId-weary res'

But gently We're dancing and cleaning

strated that cats are good for something
beside catching rats and mice. She was
alone in the house with no companion
but huge cat. She heard burglar at
tempting to effect an entrance into the
basement window. In her alarm she
seized her petted i" Tom,' and, posing
him carefully from the second-story
window, dropped him squarely upon
the intruder's neck, where, with ter
rife howl, he fastened claws and teeth.
Then came another yell, and thief and
cat disappeared with lightning rapidity
around the corner, the cat on top.

There are certain things very CALLING
about this Mormon custom. The first
wife is expected to treat the newcomer
as a welcome guest, and If not In good
circumstances she must resign her sleep
ng-apartment to her-there's no humil-
iation spared the supplanted wife. She
must not only get down from her throne,
but she must place her rival upon It all
of which the wife did of whom I tell you.
She set her teeth so hard that no muir
muir escaped them, and became what
Mormon women all think the Lord in
tended they should be, martyrs. The
second wife was a pretty, anticipated
little creature. who had only married
Mr.. Black for the sake of a home, with
out caring for him In the least, while
the first wife loved him devotedly. All
went quietly for time, till Mr.. Black
attained the grand object of Mormon
ambition. He was given what they call
o mission that is, he was sent abroad to
proselyte. In his absence the two
wives lived together, and the second
wife attracted the attention Of an inferi-
or man.
1.-THE first wife was all amiability to the
second wife, especially when the in
ferior gentleman called. She discreetly
| withdrew. and never seemed aware that
the two had fallen madly In love with
each other. So matters went on until
the return of the mutual husband. Wife

The husband could not have been more
astonished If the heavens had fallen, and
raved more about wife's shame and q
husbands honor than Otheno himself.

FOrtune-Makers i'm Ireland.

4 poor country as every one knows,
yet there is one class who seem to be
able to make great fortunes in Ireland.
A man name Wise died lately in that
country intestate, leaving fifteen mil
lions of dollars made out of a whiskey
distillery in Cork. A few years since,
Sir Benjamin Guinness left six millions
Of dollars, ann an estate worth one hun
dred thousand dollars day, all of
which was derived from the brewing of
the stout known throughout the world.
In Cork also there is another porter
brewing firm very wealthy, while in
Doublin there is a distiller named Roe
quite as well off as Wise. Ireland has
many great landlords but few rich ones.
1t is rare that fortuneis made in trade
in that country, while outside Of the
linnen manufactures, there is little
that is profitable compared with SINH
lar establishments of the other nations.
These rich distillers, by the way, have
been very charitable, and have devoted
a large part of their fortunes for educa-
tional and benevolent purpose. But
this does got make up for the misery
they have occasioned by the sale of in
toxicating drinks. No doubt ireland
has been badly governed, but the amaz-
ing prosperity OF the distillers must
have something to do with the misfor-
tune of it's people.-[From Demorest's
