small boats, steam launches and sail

the cool shade Of the Virginia banks

fine opportunity to navigate the Po-
toniac, and enjoy its scenery and pic
turesque beauty, i'm having one Of
the little steam launches (about one
half the size Of the Belle Of Salina) for
occasional pleasure trips up and down
the river. OF one of these excursions
up the Potomac. we wish to speak.
Our party boarded the little launch at
the Navy Yard, on the north branch
of the Potomac, and steaming down
towards the main stream. we passed
at anchor the famous 'TallapOsa"
and the Monitor "Passaic," whose
turret il deeply marked and indented
with scars received off Charleston
during the war from the rebel bat
teries on shore. Rounding the arse
nal grounds, we hove i'm sight of Long
Bridge, which is one and one-half
miles long. As We approached, one
section of the bridge slowly swung
around, allowing Us to pass through.
Then we were opposite the detestable
"Potomac Flats" concerning which
81 much has been said, though moth
ing done, by Congress; and with q
good view Of Arlington Heights and
Fort Whipple on our left. Further
up the stream, at Georgetown, we
passed under Aqueduct Bridge, which
serves the double purpose Of an ordi-
nary bridge, and that Of transporting
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal across
the Potomac. Through this bridge
the canal boats float, high above the
river. Beyond Aqueduct Bridge. both
shores become interesting and pretty.
On the Virginia side, are hills rising
from the waters edge, down which
numerous tiny streams tumble and
murmur among rocks and huge boul-
ders lying in their path. Stopping at
one of the many landings, We assembled
the banks in search of Strawberries,
which We found of magnificent size Mt
the farm Of a Mr.. Donaldson, whose
home on hill commands a fine view
Of the city and the river below. This
good old Scotchman was justly proud
Of his farm and its products, AMI
though eighty-one years old, led US
over his grounds and told US incidents
of the war. Mr.. DonaldsOn's house
was the headquarters Of many officers
Of rank during the war. Gen. Carl
Schurz made this place his head-qaar-
tiers for time. A shrill whistle from
our little boat warned the whole party
that start homeward must be made
soon, il we were to get through Long
Bridge that night. AS We passed the
bridge safely, the sunset gun sounded
from Fort WhIpple, after which sig
nal the bridge is closed. EBAUcHE.

A good book is mans truest friend

The good which we have done is the
only thingwhich abides.
The greatest trust between man and
man is the trust OF giving counsel.
II conscience retains thee to-day it
will to morrow and al thy life long.
An old home is like an old violin; the

skill is powerless.
Life is full OF bitter lessons, the sir,-

A Wasp,s Speculation.

The occupant OF room with the
door open into the street, was startled
one day at the entrance, with buzzing
noise, OF a large blush wasp OF the
kind which captures spiders to put in
their nests for their growing wasps to
feed upon. After flying around the
wasp went to corner OF the room,
where large house spider had made a
broad web near the ceiling, with long,
close hiding place extending down IN
The corner. The wasp flew under the
web and examined the hiding-place
closely, apparently to see il the spider
was at home, and then, as if satisfied OF
the fact, flew out into the room and,
returning, dropped down on the center
of the web, buzzing and futtering like
a caught fly. Thereupon the old spider
rushed out in great haste to capture his
prey, and as soon as he came within
reach the wasp picked him up and flew
away with him. Was it reason or In
stinct that caused the action Of these
two animals under the circumstances ?
Uhately says "instinct is a blind ten.
dency to some mode of action indie.
pendent OF any consideration on the
part Of the agent OF the end to which
the action leads" Did these animals

some years ago l was travelling in early
April through Arcadia. on my way to
visit the famous temple at Basse, we
passed on a rugged mountain side
through what was evidently the rem

trees were but dwarfs compared with
our British oak, and they were very
thinly scattered. But on every tree
grew one or more big punches OF mis-
tletoe. II was OF q beautiful pale

chinese Printers and Freshmen.

In working a hand press, such as 6
double-demy Columbian or Albion, the
Chinese pressmen have some curious
ways. No. / pressman puts the sheet
Of paper on the "tympan," and rolls IN
the bed of the press, but he does not,
as he ought, pull over the bar or levei
by which the impression is produced.
No. he's No. /, and he only does the
skillful work OF putting on the paper,
and rolling in and out the bed. No. z
works the hand ink roller, and coolie
on the off side does the heavy work by
showing over the lever with both hands,
and he has to take of the printed sheet,
too. They can print about 300 copies
an hour this way. In correcting
a column Chinese printers be
gin at the bottom instead Ct
the top: in running over" line or two
thew do it in the column, without
taking the lines into q composing-stick.
We once yentured to give q Chinese
cOmpOsitOr some hints about the way
to correct proof and run over lines
but he told us he had been q compos'
itor for ten years, that he learned at a
mission press and that he knew better;
though we had learned how to do il
fifteen years ago, he would not be per-
shaded, and he had to be left to do 1t
in his own way. The pressmen, how
ever, are more amusing than the com
positors. There is scarcely Chinese
nressman that will venture to lift up q
large page of type; hey always prefer
showing it on board and carrying 1t IN
that way; and it is perhaps Just as well v !
that they do, for their "locs'ns up Of
a form is not to be depended on.
