A meeting W i'll he held at Thatcher's
Hall, Church street, in this city, to-mor-
row Thursday evening, at o'clock, for
the purpose of endeavoring to start an
educational institute, to be known as the
Mechanics Institute. We are informed

intended to provide course of instrue-

Guiding those somewhat special in charac-
ter, and fundamental to practical knowl-
edge of the various mechanical arts. 1t is
started in the interest of mechanics and
those who wish to pursue such course,
and desire to attend it in connection with
their daily occupations. The terms for tut
ton will be moderate. 1t is not a mere
night school, nor Is 1t a charity organiza-

it that it may in time, deserve to rank

probably nine in the evening. People

Bucharest.

l doubt whether there exists in the
world a city which pictures so accu-
rately as Bucharest, the country of
which it is the capital. Vainly would
you seek in London a corner reminding
you OF Wales, or in Paris one recalling
Southern France. Berlin has nowhere
the remotest resemblance to the gran
deur of the Rhine. Nowhere at Vienna
are reflected the green and mysterious
valleys OF Bohemia, or the sharp out
lines Of the old military frontiers. Moth
ing IN the immense Russian Empire is
discernible at St. Petersburg, and the
brilliant frontage of Constantinople is
the greatest possible contrast to the rest
of Turkey. Bucharest, however, is at
present the image of Roumania. 1t has
emerged from the indifference of yes
terday, and is aspiring to the splendour
OF tomorrow. 1t is the a seeking to
dye itself in purple, a growing ambi-
ton, the stiff lines of civilization striv-
ing to supersede the caprices of barbar-
ism, 1t is the growing capital of an in
FAINT kingdom, whose civilization is still
confined to the centre, and has not vet
reached the eNtremities, but is stretch
ing towards them, and will reach them:
for the five million inhabitants of
Roumania are certainly destined one day
to ascendancy over a great part
of the peninsula. This is now inevi-
table, and whatever the agitations now
going on, or the efforts which NAV
hereafter be made, this contamination
is certain sooner or later to be realized.
On issuing from the station the first
thing which strikes you is the cabman,
his horse, and his vehicle. Here. as
throughout the rest of the city, a
wonderful contrast forces itself on your
notice. The cabman. half-barbarian,
half-Iurk, with a spice of mouiik,

missing that the family photographed on

| the gaps between them the capriciously
spaced-out fagstones rest on the bed of
siimy mud which forms the interstices.
AS soon, however, as you get through
the suburbs, the ambitious capital
strikes the VISITORS eye. New and lofty
houses, smart and modern, dwarf with
their massive upstart splendor the low
building which adjoins them; and which
has yet emerged from the limbo of the
past. A new palace is being erected for
the King, but it will be merely tempo
rary, and you perceive the necessity of
such a work on passing the tissured
walls of the old palace, which attempts
are being made to repair, and the patch
ing up Of which ill-conceals the signs of
decay. Everywhere is the striking o
trast of a city and country which are
growing, expanding and embellishing
themselves, and rcsolutely marching to-
wards their future destinies. Even at
the early hour on Sunday when we ar
rived, Bucharest is full of animation
and offers rs, with its crowded and
trimmed-up streets, the most motley
type of its inhabitants, whose aspect
and costumes are still lacking in real
homogeneousncss. Yet, the top boot
here, as in Hungary, is still dominant,
showing that the roads have yet to be
made, and that mud is supreme. But if
the top boot is the basis Of the national
costume, the Astrakhan hat, black, high,
and pointed, is the summit, while be-
tween basis and summit there is free
scope for caprice. When, after a two
hours drive about the city, we returned
to the station, many of us had the same
idea, and had adorned ourselves with
this A%strakhan cap-a soft and conve-
nient covering, the more readily assumed
because the morning is chilly, and such
headgear is a capital protection from
damp.-Cor. London Times.

TIE men were growing fiercely angry

The men were growing fiercely angry
thatthey could not find the key, and one
was blaming the other that they had not
tools with which to break open the safe.
Tommy knew that they would waste no;
more time, but would force him to tell
now, if they could. Something very
like despair came over him, when, sud-
denly pressed against q window-pane,,
he saw a face-a black face, surmounted
by a woolly top-knot-Linkum' face.
1t seemed to Tommy that he must
have died and gone to Heaven when he
saw that face. But it was only the be-
ginning of a merciful unconsciousness.
There was a crash as if the whole
world had tumbled to pieces, and when
Tommy opened his eyes it was upon
Linkum's face close beside his, some Of
ficers putting handouts upon the men,
and a crowd of people pouring into the
office.
.'You member what you done tole
me behind de shed door," Linkum was
explaining. 'sHow if dis yer niger
was dat homesick he couldn't stand it
nohow, to done fotch hisself home, an
you wouldn't eat a bit but what he done
had his share obj Dis niger was dat
miserable homesick he fought for sure
he'd die, an he done come home. He
look all roun' de winders OBJ de house
an couldn't see muffin oh yer, an he
hear 'em say mighty quar- yer done stay
so late, an he come to de Office, an
hear voices, but couldn't get in, an II
seem mighty quar-, so he done climb
up de spout. an look in de winder!
Didn't take him long to fotch a ossifer
an break in dat do'!n
So the safe, which contained a great
deal Of money, as well as valuable
papers was untouched, and Tommy was
the hero of the hour. Everybody was
crowding around to have the privilege
Of shaking hands with him. And
Linkum was not without his share of
praise.
But the best is yet to tell. Mr.. Forbes
made Tommy a present of the mortgage
deed Cancelled. He said Tommy had
saved him a great deal more than that
and it was only his due. He also raised
his salary, for he said the company
could afford to pay for such services as
his. And he gave Linkum a situations
in the mills, so he didn't have to go
away again. Aleck said cit really was;
a brand-new year!"-Sophie Swett, I'M

Good Advice.

1t was only the other day that a par
ty Of knights of the green cloth, seated
around the stove in a Second street sa-
loon, were discussing the merits-and
demerits-of a pawn-broker named Sol

annie. All agreed that the old fellow
was closer than ones undcrgarment.

left the equivalent of five in his hands as

Death himself should call on Solomon
and offer a new lease of life for ten dol
lars, he'd make the old chap open his
overcoat and exhibit his dry bones be-
fore he would condescenu to dicker with
him at all. He'd want to be morally
certain that it was death, and even then
he'd insist on his leaving his coat as IA
sort OF a guarantee, you know"
Jus then a new arrival Clipped in
and asked who they were speaking of.
On being told he declared that Solomon
wasn't such an old skinfint as many
people supposed. "'Why," said he, ..I'il

row twenty-five dollars of him right now

There were half a dozen takers
at once. The bet was made, the money
put up in the hands of one of the bows.
and the rev arrival, accompanied by
one Of the party, started for SolouonSs
place OF business. Arriving there the
would-be borrower entered while the
other mar remained outside, but looked
through the window to see that nothing
IN the shape of d security changed
hands.
The pawnbroker was soon made ac.
quainted with the terms of the bet.

A SONG FOR NEW YEARS EVE.

Stay vet, my friends, a moment stay
Stay till the good old year,
So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands and leaves us here.
oh stay, oh stay,
One little hour, and then away
The year, whose hopes were high and strong
Has now no hopes to wakes;
Yet one hour more of jest and song
For his familiar sake.
oh stay, oh stay,
One mirthful hour, and then away.
The kindly year, his liberal hands
Have lavished all his store,
And shall we turn from where he stands,
Because he gives no more?
oh stay, oh stay.
Days brightly came and calmly went
While yet he was our guest;
How cheerfully the week was spent!
How sweet the seventh days rest!
oh stay, oh stay,
One golden hour, and then away.
Dear friends were with us, some who sleep
Beneath the coffin lid,
What pleasant memories we keep
OF all they said and lit
Oh, stay, oh stay,
One tender hour, and then away.
Even while VIC sing, he smiles his last,
And leaves u sphere behind,
The good old year is with the past;
Oh, be the new as kind!
oh stay, oh stay,
One parting strain, and then away.
