THE VARIOUS KINDS OF GIRLS.

Philadelphia Times.
Esteemed contemporaries in different
cities are engaged in a controversy
about the usefulness of the girls. We
observe with extreme qualification that
each esteemed contemporary is proud
of the girls Of its particular town.
Each believes its own girls to be far
superior to any other in all that can
make girls what they should be. Each
has undertaken to set off the particular
value of its particular girls.
Girls, however, are viewed from
vastly different standpoints. Esteemed
contemporaries invite young men to
marry them, some for one quality and
some for another. In Cincinnati we
learn that the young women are val
liable because they paint on china in
Louisville because they paint something
clse- perhaps the lily i'm DVs.vE~----
cause they think they understand Emer.
son and know how to bake beans and
pork in molasses; in St. Louis because
they have great and responsible knowl-
edge OF the classics in Chicago be.
cause they wear immense shoes in New
York because they know how to dress ;
in Washington because they can't speak
English ; in New Orleans because they
have black eyes and red lips. and in
other places the girls are set forth on
account Of various other things.
We fear that the mos, Of our esteemed
contemporaries have entirely failed to
understand what is necessary to the true
usefulness of a girl. a large foot, a
knowledge of china painting, or ofpork
and beans, or Of Emerson, do not
constitute drawback. They may even
be very good things in their way. Blu,
the young man who is looking for a
girl to marry will do himself a great
service il he find girl who has given a
little thought TO the practical things oi
life; whose knowledge of the siss.sSr
has not so absorbed her that she hasn'l
had time to learn how to make a loaf oi
bread and broil achop. We can assure
our esteemed contemporaries that there
are great many such girls.

A FINE INSTITUTION.

The increased interest in the study OF
astronomy that has taken place within
the pas, few years is simply wonderful.
Formerly only professional astronomer
studicd the heavens. Now telescopes Of
every size and description may be seen
pointing from the roofs Of houses and
private Obscrva,ories. AsaConscqucncc
more discoveries have been made during
the period specified than ever before in
the same length OF time. This result IS
due to several causes, As will be shown
hereafter. Among the number OF dis
coveries made by independent workers,
may be noted the following: Mfr
Burnham, of Chicago, with only siX-
inch telescope, has discovered over one
thousand double stars wholly new to
science. Mr.. Barnard, OF Nashville.
Tenn. with a fve.inch instrument, has
discovered two comets, both within the
the past year Prof. Schaeberle, Of
Ann Arbor; Mr.. Brooks, Of Phelps,
n. Y, and Mr.. Wells. or Albany, have
all made comctary discoveries Of an
important nature. Professor Swift, OF
Rochester, has discovered two inira-
mercurill planets, several new ncbule,
and seven comets, Tor which he has
been awarded three German medals
and the LeLande prize of the French
Academy OF Sciences. Professor Hall,
Of Washington. is the discoverer Of
both OF the moons of Mars, and Prof.
Bond of the eighth sielliie and transpa-
rent ring of Saturn.
OF course, many fine private observa.
tories have been erected recently in
various parts of America, among the
number being Prof. Diapers, a, Hast
ings, \. T.; Professor Morrison's, At
Glasgow, Mo. and Professor Ruiher-
ford's, New York. BY far the finest
private institution of the kind in the
world, however, is the Warner ObSer.
vatory, At Rochester, \. Y, Of which
the above illustration represents the new
and large rciraciing telescope. This in
strument is more than twenty two feet
in length, is composed of sheet steel
and brass, is driven by clock work To
exactly equal the earih's aNial motion.

improved style. II is capable OF magni-
flying ,,5co diameterS, thus bringing
the moon within ninety miles of the
earth. The entire cost of the telescope
and the observatory in which it is
mounted exceeds SIoo, 900. The War
ner Observatory was erected from the
private purse OF Mr.. IL. II Warner,
proprietor OF the Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure and other remedies, who has also
endowed and furnished it most libcrally.
In addition thereto he has paid out sew
eral thousand dollars in prizes for the
discovery of comets and meteoIs which
has doubtless greatly stimulated the dis
coverics TO which reference has been
made.
There can he but little doub, tha,
America will take the lead in astronom.
ical discoveries over all other lands as
she has already done in many other
fields. And when il is remembered
how beneficial IN effect the study ofthe
heavenly bodies and the countless realm,
Of space has upon the human mind it is
certainly cause for great ,hankiulncss
that such is the case.

DIR. TAL.MAGE DESCRIBES A GOOD
WOMAN.

You see hundreds OF men who are sue
ccssful only because there is reason at
home why they are successful. II man
marry good, homes, soul he makes his
fortune; IL he marry fool, the Lord
help him. The wife may be a silent
partner in the firm. There may be only
masculine voices down on the exchange,
but there often comes from the home
circle a potential and elevating inau.
cnce. The woman Of Shunem, at whose
house the prophet Elisha stopped, was
great woman and the superior Of her
husband. He, as far as | can UNDER
stand, was what we often find in our
day. a man of large fortune and only a
modicum Of brains, intensely quiet, sit
ting a long while in the same place
without moving hand or foot if you
say yes responding yes il you say no re-
spending no; eyes half shut, mouth
wide open. maintaining his position in
society only because he has a large pairi-
mony. His wife belonged to that class
of people who need no name to distin-
guish them, no title Of princess or queen.
She was great in her hospitality. Jupi-
ter has the surname Of "The Hospita-
ble," and he was said to avenge the
wrongs Of strangers. Homer extolled
hospitality in his verse. The Arabs
were punciilious about il.

BANK LOCKS.

Speaking Of locks, says New York
letter, one is led to notice the improve
-ment in their methods of protection,
one of which is the "time lock-" This
is so constructed that an automatic
action is obtained. The interior Of the
lock contains spring and wheels like
a watch movement, and il is wound up
in the same manner and set so rs to
open at a regular time. There are sew
eral patents OF this kind Of lock, which
is so popular that two thousand are in
use. They cost $500 apiece, but are
cheap even at that, when one considers
the vast amount of money thus pro-
tected. Formerly cashiers have been
seized, bound and compelled by burg
lars to unlock the safe under fear Of
death, but these time locks cannot be
opened until the fixed moment arrives.
Each manufacturer has a number Of
expert workmcn travelling for the pur-
pose Of examining and cleaning locks,
which should be done annually. The
fee for this service is $40. One of
those examiners informs me that he
has been thus employed three years,
and he recently visited some OF the
most important banks Of this city. lie
is a matchmaker by trade, and consid-
ers these locks merely large Watches
He also informed me that there are a
dozen other men in the same itinerancy,
each Of whom averages $50 examina-
tions a year. The range Of travel to
which they are subjected includes the
entire area Of the Union, with most Of
its territories, and hence this forms a
peculiar feature in the travelling COM
munity.

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She Is modest. but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting. half repuisive.
Now advancing, and nov shy
There is mischief In her dimple,
There is danger In her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She 10 schooied in all her arts:
She has taken her diploma
A. the mistress Of all hearts.
She can tell the very morent
When 20 sigh and when 10 smile:
oh, u maid IL sometimes charming,
But widow all tho while.
Are you sadl How very serious
Will her handsome face become.
Are you angry, She IL wTetched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you miTthfal! How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out
She can lure and catch and play you
A. the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors Of forty,
Who have grown 80 bald and wise
Young Americans of 10y,

You may practice all tho lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know . little widow
Who could win aud fool you all.

CHAPTER n.


A note from me brought Ned Williams
to my room tina, evening. 1t was ten
o'clock before he left me, and if my
little Katie had seen the fervor with
which he kissed my hand at parting, /
think she might have had cause TO be
jealous, unless she knew, as | did, that
il was all on her account.
The next morning, bright and early,
was closctcd with Miss Deborah. The
maiden lady looked half distracted
when l told her the result Of our over
night debate, but l soon won her over
to my way Of thinking. She looked at
Katie, however, as she went singing
around the house, as if she had been a
natural phenomenon.
Katie's apple pie and dumplings were
the incest things imaginable, and Katie
herself, with the fun Of her eyes a little
dimmed and softened by touch ofpen-
siveness, was very agreeable thing TO
look at. and began to think Ned VIII
liams was a very enviable man.
