WARRINGTON NATIONAL MoNUMENr

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT
According to the original design the
monument was to consist of circular,
colonnaded building, $50 feet in diane
ter, surmounted by shaft 70 feet at
the base and 500 feet in height. The
colonnade should consist of thirty col
umns, each II feet in diameter and IS
feet in height, resting upon base 20
feet high ard surmounted by an entab-
lature and balustrade, 20 feet and Is
feet respectively.
The terrace beyond the colonnade is
intended to be 25 feet wide, and tho
space within the colonnade 25 feet.
| Thirty pilasters, 10 feet wide, 45 feet
high, and with a projection of Z feet,
are to border the inner gallery. The
rotunda measures 500 feet in circumfer-
ence and IS feet in height.
The monument, as far as finished, is
built Of crystal marble from Maryland,
and rests upon foundation of Potomac
gneiss rock 81 feet square at the base.
The base of the obelisk, or main shaft,
is IS feet square on the outside, and the
walls are Is feet thick.
IF completed according to the original
plan, its entire height will be 600 feet.
This will place it among the highest
buildings in the world, being so feet
more than that of the Cologne Cathe-
dral, and 120 feet higher than the Pyra-
mid of Cheops.

THE CITRATE s KISS.

A correspondent informs the LondoI
Times of romantic incident which has
recently occurred in prosperous London
suburb, A devoted young High church
curate. of interesting appearance and
great popularity in his district, was wait
ed upon by a young lady of considerable
attractions, but with an air of deep mel
ancholy aud clad in a somewhat ascetic
garb. She invited him to her house and
revealed to him fatal secret She had
conceived deep, passionate love for
the curate himself She knew, she said,
that her passion was hopeless; he. in his
devotion to the church, for which she
loved him all the more, had vowed him
self to life of celibacy, and she would
carry her attachment to the grave, which
she felt was not far off But there was
one kindness which it was in his power
to grant her. the remembrance of which
would bring consolation to her dark and
weary path. Would he. before they
parted forever, give her one kiss? After
some timidity and agitation the young
curate, touched with pity complied. The
lady shed another tear, babe him adieu
in hollow voice and departed. A few
days afterwards he received a neat little
parcel gracefully tied with a piece of
blue ribbon, and on opening it found an
instantaneous photograph Cabinet size)
of himself kissing the young lady Ac-
companying this was communication
from the fair creature herself that there
were eleven more, copies, and that he
might have the whole dozen at Eco apiece.
Should he not be in want of them it was
her intention to dispose of them in an
other quarter. Negotiations on the sub
Ject are said to be proceeding.

Oonntry Editors.

The fact that an article has appeared
in one of the leading journals of The
country, is by no means a conclusive
argument of its real excellence. Many
notable specimen of the finest writing
published in periodical literature, has
first been given to the world through
the columns of some obscure country
newspaper. An editor of a prominent
journal of wide circulation, making his
selections more with regard to the real
excellence than to the source from
which they emulate, observes the gem,
and gives it a place in his columns,
where it is read by multitudes who adj
mire the beauty of its sentiments; the
orator stores it away in the recesses of
his memory, whence it is brought forth
on some future occasion, to beautify
a thought, or add weight ito his argu-
ment. 1t enriches the collected wisdom
preserved in the scrap-book. But few,
indeed, of the vast multitudes who read
it, think of the country editor forging
such deep philosophy, ensconced in his
obscure Office; yet, from such crowded
country sanctnms have poured q great
mass of the finest inspirations OF jour
nalistic literature.

A Mankav Diary.

To-day he obtained possession of the
hearthbrush, one of the kind which has
the handle screwed INTO the brush He
soon found the way to unscrew the
handle, and having done that he inn
mediately began to try to lind out the
way to screw it in again. This he in
time accomplished. At first he put the
wrong end of the handle into the hole,
but turned it round and round the right
way for screwing. Finding it did not
hold, he turned the other end of the
handle, and carefully stuck it into the
hole. and began again to turn it the right
way. 1t was, of course, a very difficult
feat for him to perform, for he required
both of his hands tn hold the handle in
the proper position and to turn il be-
tween his hands in order to screw it in.
and the long bristles of the brush pre-
vented it from remaining steady or with
the right side up. He held the bf.n 81
with his hind hand, but even so it was
very difficult for him to get the first
turn of the screw To fit into the thread;
he worked at it. however. with the most
unWearying perseverance until he got
the first turn of the screw to catch, and
he then quickly turned it round and
round until it was screwed up 10 the end.
nc uloot thiHg Was thit,
however often he was disappointed in
the beginning. he never was induced to
try turning the handle the wrong way;
he always screwed it up from left to
right As soon as he had accomplished
his wish he anscrewed it again, and
then screwed it in again the second time
rather more easily than the first, and SO
on many times. When he had become
by practice tolerably perfect in screw
ing and unscrewing, he gave it up and
took some other amusement. One re-
markable thing is that he could take so
much trouble IN THAI which is no material
benefit to him. The desire to accom-
plish chosen task seems n sufficient
indueement to lead him to take any
amount of trouble. This seems a very
human feeling, such as is not shown, L
believe, in any other animal. lit is not
the desire of praise, as be never notices
people looking on; it is simply the desire
to achieve an object, and he never rests
or allows his attention to be detracted
until it is done. -4ninaat Ipateltioeace-
