MORALITIES.

Originality is nothing but judicious
imitation. sa
No furniture is so charming as
books, even if We never open them to
read a single word.
In all sciences the errors precede
the truths, and it is better theyshould
go first than last.
Nature is rag-merchant, who
works up every shred and sort and end
into new creations.
Without courage there cannot be
truth, and without truth there can be
no other virtue.
Self-love would be necessary prin-
ciple in every one if it we're only to
serve each as scale for his love to
his neighbor.
Admiration is a forced tribute, and
to extort il from mankind, envious
and ignorant as they are, they must
be taken unaware.

THE EARLY DAYS OF PRINTING.


There is an old story about Faust,
the associate of Gutenberg, the H.
vendor Of printing, which, whether
true or false, well illustrates this. AS
soon as the Bible, which these two
pioneers Of the art had printed, was
complete, Faust took q number of
copies to Paris TO sell. The first copy
he sold to the king for $50 crowns,
and another to the archbishop for
600 crowns, and to less illustrious or
less worthy persons he sold other
copies for much smaller sums, each
one thinking that he possessed mar
vel of penmanship. So delighted was
the archbishop with his purchase that
he took it to the king, who, in emula-
ton produced his volume. In spite
of differences in the great ioitiaI let
ters, which were painted by hand,
the text in both was found TO be iden-
tical, down to the smallest details,
which would be impossible in books
written by hand. Other copies, too,
it came to be known had been sold.
there was no way of accounting for
the mystery except by magic, and
poor Faust was committed to stand
his trial for sorcery and was imprisou-
ed. Only upon full disclosure Of
his process of printing, which had
hitherto been jealousy secret, did he
obtain his liberty, and this he did not
long enjoy, dying shortly after Of the
plague, before he could return to his
own country.

THE PRINCE OF DEATH.

Death sent his messenger before;
"Our master comes apace," they cried,
Ere night he will be at thy door,
To claim thy darling from thy side.
l drove them forth with curses fell;
l drove them forth with jeer and scoff ;
Not all the powers of heaven or hell
Combined, should bear my darling off,
1 armed me madly for the fight;
My gates bolted, barred and locked
At sunset came a sable knight,
Dismounted at my doors, and knocked.
l answered not, he knocked again;
braved him sole, / braved his band
He knocked once more in vain, in vain !;
My barriers crumbled meath his hand.
rushed into the breach / stood,
Dazed with the food of ebbing light;
A victory over senseless wood
Adds scanty glory to thy might
A strong champion guards these wallis
A human love, living heart;
And while each earthly bulwark falls,
1t stays thee, awful as thou art p
My sabre shivered on his mail,
My lance dropped headless at his feet;
] saw my darling's cheek grow pale,
l saw her turn my foe to meet.
He passed-my lips alone could move;
Mad words of passion forth / hurled:
They lied who said that God was love,
Who lets tyrant rule the world.
He gathered her to his embrace,
While yet raved in my despair;
He raised his vizor from his face,
| looked, and saw an angel there.
Such conquering love, such mercy rare,
Such heavenly pity in his eyes,
AS surely love divine might wear,
When he assumed our mortal guise.
He bent above her dear dumb lips
Mine own, whom had loved too we'll
And struggling from life's last eclipse,
They smiled in peace inefable.
Awestruck watched, he raised his head,
And then, in tones like summers breath,
Am a thing so VILE" he said,
q, whom ye men call shuddering death?"
And sword and large aside | flung,
Forgotten wrath and loss, and pride;
To his departing feet l chung,
"And me too, take me too" l cried;
without her, all is blank and black.
With her, and thee SO fair-me too"
The solemn voice came ringing back,
mot yet, for thee is work to do"
The sunset sank from rose to gray,
His accents died away with it,
And from my soul, as from the day,
The glow and glory seem to fit;
And mid my stronghold's shattered
strength,
| knelt alone, yet not alone.
Deaths angel left me hope at length
Through tasks fulfilled to reach mine
own.

THE DIFFERENCE IN GIRLS.

An old man got into the street car
with his umbrella as wet as it is pos
sible for an umbrella to be. The
seats were all full, and he closed his
umbrella and put the point down on
the floor, as he supposed, but in fact
he put it right into the low shoes of
one of those sweet, modest girls, right
on Der stocking, and the dirty water
more than poured down into the shoe.
At first she looked as though she
would move her foot, and call his at
tention to what he was doing, but she
seemed to relent, and with resigned
expression, as though she hoped he
was not going to ride many blocks,
or perhaps somebody would get out
and give her seat, she looked out Of
the window. Once she moved her
head as though she would look down
at her shoe to see how near full of
water it was. After few minutes
she began to SILVER, which was con-
elusive evidence to some that the wa
ter was coming up around her instep,
and gradually OVERLOOKING the banks.
Finally she became nervous, and when
a girl begins to get nervous something
has got to be done. She blushed
and touched him on the hand that
held the umbrella handle with her
little futtering finger and said Z: "Msy
| ask you, sir, without seeming to be
impolite, to do me favor?w "Why,
certainly, miss" said the old man as
he looked down at her. "What is it,"
"Will you please take your umbrella
out Of my shoe for moment, and let
me take the shoe off and empty it?"
"For heavens sake, miss, was my uni
brella in your shoe7 / beg pardon"
and he teok it out. dts of no conse-
quence at all, }" said the little lady, as
she turned up her shoe on the side
and let the black cambria water out.
"There, you can put it right back or,
if you would prefer a dry shoe for
your umbrella you can put it in the
other ONE" But the old man blushed
and moved of to the other end of the
car, and stepped on another girls foot.
The other girl was not that kind of
retiring child of nature, and she look
ed up at the old blunderbuss with
fire in her eye, and every red hair in
her head meaning business, and said |
Cant you keep off peoples feet?
you had better ride in sprinkling |
cart when you go anywhere. Why |
don'tyou look where you are walking2 |
| don't see what the city bought
stone crusher for, when you could |
walk on stone quarry and furnish |
cobbles enough for a pavement"
The old man pulled the bsll-rope, and
putting his umbrella under his arm |
he walked the whole length of the |
car, knocking off several hats with |
his umbrella, but he didn't mash any |
feet, for all the passengers put their
feet under the seat. 1t beats all what |
difference there is in girls.

HoRsERACK CnsrIrnE.


This is just the season for horse
back riding, and therefore few hints
about habits will be acceptable. Ia
Paris the riding habit is quite simple,
a good deal shorter than it used to be
made, glove-ftting, with short bas-
que turned up into revers at the back.
But as variety to this, young ladies
have very generally adopted this
spring the riding habit of creamy
white or pale buff, instead Of the
dark cloth one. The bodice is a
glove-ftting cuirass, heightened be-
hind into coat lappels and trimmed
buttons of carved pearl. The neck is
finished with deep rufle Of creamy
lace. AS for the sleeves, they are
partly concealed under the long gloves
Of soft deer skin which are slipped
over them. The hat is broad
trimmed GainsbOrough, caught up on
one side with long ostrich feather,
which curls around the crown. The
hat itself is of white felt, lined with
deep blue or red velvet or satin. This
head gear is too becoming to be soon
left of. When the weather is very
warm, however, the hat to be worn is
of thin, soft felt, lined with silk, which
is quite as light and pleasant to wear
as straw.

A STORY OF RUSSIAN DISCIPLINE.
One need nos be surprised at any
thing that happens in Russia. The
other evening while smoking a cigar
with one Of my old friends who had
seen, read and travelled a great deal, /
was told OF an Incident that occurred
some forty years ago at Novgorod,
quite as sinister as that which recent
ly occurred at Smargon.
The colonel of a certain Russian
regiment, ferociously tyrannical, and,
| may say, merciless towards his SOL
diers, was in the habit Of treating his
human flock like pack of brutes.
He disciplined with the knout, SEN
tencing meu to whippiDgs for having
one button insuficiently polished !;
whipping non-commissioned officer
for one stain on his cloak; striking
veterans of Borodino in the face for
saluting too slowly; sending poor wret-
ches to Siberia for giving too free an
answer. In short, during the lapse Of
years, this colonel had made himself
SO detested by his men that he reaped
frightfal revenge from seeds Of
hatred he had sown.
One morning during parade hes sud-
denly saw file of from the regiment
company of soldiers bearing instead of
muskets, those long rods which cut
deeply into the flesh at every blow.
Nevertheless, he had given no ordersI
There was no soldier to chastise.
"Who is that for?" he demanded.
A grehadier advanced from the
ranks, and replied with terrible cool
ness

plot. The whole regiment was pres
emit at the terrible spectacle. The col
onel was seized, his uniform torn of,
he was tied down in wheelbarrow
and wheeled up and down before the
ranks of the grenadiers, armed with
rods, all of whom struck and insulted
him.
The officers who attempted to aid
their colonel were Immediately seized
and bayouets pointed at their throats.
Some we're taken away; others CARO-
ted. Only one soldier attempted to
take part with them. Then SERGE
ant, still pallid from the effects Of bis
last whipping with the knout, put his
musket to the soldiers temple and blew
his brains out.
And all the regiment saw its COL
onel pass under the rods.
When it was all over they opened a
kiln oven. The colonel was flung into
it, all bleeding, together with the off,
GERS who had obeyed him. And when
the furnace was well fed, the soldiers
slowly, slowly heated it-until at last
that hideous, heavy and revolving
smell of burning flesh arose in the air,
which the savages of the Russian from
