PHRASES OF WOMEN.

Woman is an idol which man worships
until he throws it down.
There is no torture that woman would
not suffer to enhance her beauty,
Women love always; when earth slips
from them they take refuge in heaven.
The whisper of be,utiful woman can
be heard further than the loudest call of
duty.
Some one who knows says the comet
Is Of the feminine gender, because it has
made so much talk,
Before promising woman to love
only her one should have seen them all or
should see only her.
We meet in society many beautiful and
attractive women whom we think would
make excellent wivcs--for our friends,
The highest mark of esteem woman
can give a man is to ask his friendship, aud
the most signal proof OF indifference is to
offer him hers.
Men are so fearful of wounding woman s
vanity that they rarely remember that She
may by some possibility possess graia of
common sense.

The Jews have ways been remarkably
healthy race. Three facts help to explain
it-their frequent ablutions wholesome Diet
and the rigid separation of such of them as
were afflicted with infectious diseases, from
social intercourse, until they had been
restored to health.
The policy of separaton-isolation is the
word now-Am erisans have log acted on
in the cases ofsmall-pox, and have found it
necessary in the checking of its ravages, and
that, too, thoug h the danger of it's spread is
greatly diminished by modern vaccination.
1t is now suggested that the same policy
should be adopted in our treatment ofdiph-
theria scarlet fever, and kindred diseases.
1t is true that in some cases children suffer-
ing from diphtheria are not permitted to go
to school, and their separation from the
Healthy is sometimes secured. But this
all instruction and all ordinary efforts, our
h mes continue to be desolated by these and
other infectious diseases. at a fearful rate.
The question is now being agitated whether
special hospitals should not be provided for
all infectious diseases The matter was
lately discussed at meeting of the New
York Medical Society. PROMINENT philan-
thropists in New York City are considering
it in its practical form. 5 1

Reporter affirms that, while scarlet fever
and diphtheria are as infectious as small
pox, they are in many cases vastly worse in
their after effects; and that the reason for es.
tablishihg special hospitals for the latter
hold equally for the former.
1t adds, "There is one fact we must look
in the face. So long as persons afflicted
with contagious, diseases. are allowed to
mingle with their fellows, so long will
these iseases be communicated from onet to
another; and so long will they continue ~

Mrs. Carmichaels party are bathing,
and as Carol watches Cis, he thinks she
looks like sea nymph.
Poor Carol is very far gone indeed,
and does not see any incongruitty IN a
sea nymph wearing baggy bathing suit.
Then something happens which might
have ended in s6rrowful tragedy. Mrs.
Carmichael ventures tritle too far out
alone, and is Immediately thrown OFT her
feet by the current.
She utters low wall of terror, which
seems to paralyze the rest of the party
Only Carol has presence ofmind enough
to dash into the water, and bring her,
almost unconscious, to land.
OF course he is ionized and made
much of at the Arctic-though driven to
desperation by their attentions, he de-
clarcs again and agiin that it is only
what any one Of Mrs. CarmicbaePs party
would have done the next moment. II
he had permitted them the opportunity
But, though he hates to be praised:
he is in the seventh heaven of delight
when Cis takes him by the hand, with
grateful tears on her dark lashes.
OF course you can guess the sequel:
Mrs. Carmichael summons her niece and
Carol the next day, and declares that il
Cis dosen't, within three months, marry
the man who saved her life, not a penny
of her money shall she have.
And our merccnary little heroine tells
Carroll that she can't bear to lose So
much money because Of the slight in
cumbrancc he will be; and so-she mar

Two English Stories.

From the Boston Advertiser.
A gentleman called to see the duke OF
Cambridge. Farquhar, a lavorite spoiled
servant, said curtly to the visitor: "Ah,
sir, you can't see H. R. H. in this permis-
cuous sort Of way. No, sir, you must wait,
you must wait" The gentleman took
the treatment good-naturedly, and even
talked a few moments with the man, who
was original and amusing. Then he said: {:
"Well, Mr.. Farquhar, you are a very
pleasant fellow, but, as my time is
valuable, cannot wait any longer. Tell
H. r. H. that Lord--has called"
mentioning one of her Majesty's Minis

The Heavens in September.
Providence Journal.

1rOVldence journal.
The September moon fulls on the eth
at twenty six minutes after midnight. 1t
is the beautiful harvest moon, and pos
sesses special claims to distinction. For,
owing to the position ofthe cclipticin re-
gard to the equator at this season, tho
moon rises for several consecutive nights
with only a comparatively small interval
between the successive risings. The
short autu,nnal days seem thus to
be prolonged by the foods Of silyery
moonlight that make the night beam
tiul as day. The phenomenon
is as easily explained as tho axia
rotation of the earth. But in the
older times, when man was nearer to
nature, the harvest moon was considerc
ed direct interposition of providence
to assist the husbandmen n in gathering
in the harvest. The waning moon is in
conjunction with Neptune on the 2l,
with Saturn on the Sd. with Jupiter on
the 5th, and with Uranus on the 18th.
The new moon on the 18th is in con-
junction with Mercury and Mars on the
14ths and with Venus on the 10Th, passing
Il degree and half north of her.
Thus during one short month the OBJ
server of the planets will find material
of unusual interest. Venus and Mercury
will reach their eastern eloDsations;
Mercury will be in close conjunction
with Spica, and make near approach
to Mars; Jupiter will be in Quadrature;
Venus and the crescent moon will shine
together in the western sky and the full
harvest moon will be the crowning feat
ure of the nights of the early autumn.
Every night the aspect will vary. Never
in the life time Of the observer will the
same picture be repeated, and within
the bounds of our own system there. is
abundant work for the exercise of
the nobltst powers. But the sun
and his family of worlds, of
such vital importance to the human race,
isonly one little cloud-speck in the vast
concourse Of the eighteen million suns
that make up the Milky Way. This, in
it's turn, is even more insignificant in
comparison with the myriad suns that
people space, and the masses of nebu-
1ous haze so far away that light is thou
sands of years in passing over the DIS
lance. There is no end, no boundery
line visible to our dim perception Of this
grand material universe. If we may be
allowed to compare the infinitely great
with the infinitely little, there is no end
to the pleasure and profit to be derived
from the study of the many sided SCI
ence of astronomy.
