A New Career for Women.

In connection with the current talk
about the opening of new careers to
women, the Pail Mall Gazette thinks
that a lady whose mode of life recently
occupied the common pleas division at
Dublin deserved no little credit She
had devoted her more mature years to
the study of law, and more particularly
to the law of breach of promise. The
novelty of her case consisted in the
number of actions which she managed
to run at the same time. In her last
case the unsusceptible jury awarded her
only fifty dollars, bnt on her cross-ex-
animation in that case she confessed to
having just sued another gentleman,
whom she ..reallr loved, |" In spite OF
his seventy winters, and of whom she
had obtained $500 damages. In third
case she is believed to have been more
successful still, having induced the de-
fendant 10 compromise it by payment
Of 5000. 1t is perhaps In view of the
enterprise of this lady and of others
who are carrying on like lucrative in
dustry that an English Judge remarked
in court the other day that he was not
at all SURPRISED that many people advo-
Gated the abolition of actions for breach
of promise,

ports show that the experiment has

consists mainly of objectteaching and
an exaggerated plain pronunciation OF

Gus objects; and in time they succeed
in hearing and pronouneing these words
| themselves.

a SUDDEN SHOWER.

The noon is tropical The rose
Leans like yearning mouth to meee
THE kisses that the zephyr blows
FlIl-flavored with the fragrant heat
The breezy naples seem to qtiaff
The shade like wine, and, thrilled with glee
Toss up their leafy hands and laugh
And lisp and whisper tipsily.
ASH the sight the air afioat
The meadow glimmers on to us,
d glamored murmur, high, remote,
Falls on the hearing tremulous-
The penr-up anger of the STORM
The dust grows ashen, as with fright,
And, rising, reels in phantom form,
And passes in convuisive fight.
with petuant and gusty breaths
The winds come waltzing as they may
Till cen the sunshine vanishes
As it we're whirIed and blown away.
Barefooted boys seud up the street.
Or skurry under sheltering sheds,
And schoolgirl faces pale and sweet,
CLEAN from the shawls about their heads
Doors bang; and mother-voiees call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed, and high above it all
The thunder grim articulates.
And then, abrupt, the raini the rain!
The earth lies gasping; and the eyes
Behind the streaming window-pane
Smile at the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes; sharp echoes ring;
The cattle bawl, and cowbells clank;
And into town comes gailoping
The farmers horse, with steaming flank.
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And flirts his plumes and folds his wings:
And under the catawba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The bumble-bee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hoilyhock;
And sullenly, in spattered brown,
The cricket leaps the garden-walk.
Within the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and vague
Without, beneath the rosebush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

In the good old town of Newburyport,
Mass, it was formerly the custom to
''have up notes. in the pulpit on SUM-
day mornings, which was the vernaeu-
lar for the act of sending note to the
pastor, requesting prayers for special
occasions. Not long ago good BROTH
er from the country occupied one of the
pulpits in that town, and on opening
the bible came across one such note.
and, after reading it. announced to the
congregation that Mr.. A. requested the
prayers and sympathy of the congrega-
tion in the sudden death of his beloved
wife, and in the prayer that followed
he offered up fervent petition for 1.-THE

in thecongregation that almost amount

he afterward learned that the note had
been shut up in the bible year, and
that Mr.. A. had his new wife for the
first time in the pew. He is very care

UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN.

Professor A. E. verrill, of Yale College,
read before the National Academy of Sci
ences recently, a most interesting paper on
the physical and geological character of the
sea bottom of our coast, especially that
which lies beneath the Gulf Stream. About
sixty miles outside of Nantucket, the PROBES.
sor said, is streak of very cold water, and
animals dredged up are like those caught in
the waters of Greenland, Spitzbergen, or ST.
IBERIA. The water is fifty fathoms deep. and
the bed of the ocean is of clay. Boulders
weighing 500 or 900 pounds are dredged
up. Professor Yerrill believes that they are
brought down by icebergs from the Arctic
regions and dropped when the ice meits.
The boulders are found as far South as Long
Island. Further out to sea, 70 to 100 miles
south from the southeastern coast of New
England, the bottom of the sea, which has
inclined very gradually eastward, forming q
table land, takes a sudden dip downward, &c
that whereas the water on the edge of the
bluff in 100 fathoms deep, at the bottom of
the basin it is 1000 fathoms deep. The
slope is as high and as steep as Mount
Washington, and on its summit, which is
level, diver. could no go to so low depth
could not put out bis hand without touching
living creature.

Mn. EDITOR There appears to be con-

but l fail to ses why the gentleman should
have SO many honors showered down upon
him, just because he holds the Office of

What they have been may be comprehen
sible to some, but not at present to me,

work to accommodate his Stalwarts."
However, | think he has made an attempt
to accomplish one miracle that the spirit
of humanity is not endowed with the

other man in the First Ward, competent
to hold the Office Does he think that
the party feeling can support him for an

The Fire at the Hill School House.
On Thursday of week before last, fire
was discovered near the stairway leading
to the second floor of the hill public school.
The fire originated from large piece of
puHk-wood which had been set on fire
outside and played with by some Of the
boys. Some one had picked it up while
one end was in smoulding state, brought
it into the school house and placed it
against one of the doors. This set fire to
some wood work and burned small
piece out before it was discovered
Whether this fire was the result Of
thoughtlessness or Of righteousness is not
known. Had the stairway got on fire be-
fore the fire was discovered, there is no
telling what injury might have been done
to the children on the second floor whose
only way of escape is by these stairs or
by jumping out Of the windows.
The Trustees have been endeavoring to
ferret out the perpetrator of this act, and
surprising as it may seem, there are pa
rents so lost to common sense, as to be Of
Tended, because their children have been
questioned as to their knowledge of 1t,
as though the mere questioning were an
insult, One would suppose that where
the lives of their children were thus en-
dangered, they would desire the most
searching examination of all so as to OBJ
tain evidence that would point out the
guilty one.
We learn that the Trustees are now
considering the necessity of placing fire
escape on the building.
