SAEsY'S MOTHER.

Oh, little baby. all pink, and
wrinkled, aud ugly as you are in
men S eyes, how sweet you are to
your mother! Heaven knows why
and Heaven only-I say it reverent-
ly-Heaven that sent you. A wo-
man who has never loved baby is
not half a woman. She does not
know what love can be. In every
other phase of love there is some
selfshness. In that which we feel
for our baby there can be none.
What does it bring to mother, this
morsel of humanity, but pain, and
fear, and weakness, deprivation of
pleasure, and vigils many and long?
Yet the love she has for it pays
for all. 1t is a passion--though
it has never been called so--thc
strangest, sweetest, purest passion
possible. When a lovers lips
touch hers a girl looks fair and
bright, and as beautiful as she ever
will in life. so that those who see
her envy and admire; yet her emo
tions may then be merely an equal
mixture of love and vanity. When
mother kisses her first babe she
is often pale and far from beauti-
ful, but never in her life has such a
depth of tenderness dwelt in her
soul; never was she so near per-
fection; for all that we women have
Of good and true in our hearts has
its base in moth Y love. 1t is from
this that our power to care for our
households, to do our duty as
daughters, sisters, and wives, must
principally spring. The woman
simply capable of romantic emotion
may have lovers by the score, but
is never true to one, and is always
selfish to the hearts core, grasping
all she can, and giving nothing.
Tie women with strong mother-love
in their souls give that--though in
less degree than to their babes--to
all they love; and so is home built
as the nest by the mother-bird.

A SILEVT ARGUMENT.

Says the Lahore Nndia) Gazette {:
Long ago there fourished in Persia
an academy called that of Silence,
whose tenets inculcated vast
amount Of thought, 4 very little
writing, and no talking at all. The
number Of academicians was strict.
ly limited to one hundred. One Of
the members died, and at that very
time there was living at the other
extremity of Persia most learned
man, Zeeb by name. No sooner
had he heard Of the vacancy in the
academy of silence than, seized
with q laudable desire of filling it,
he posted up as fast as horse could
carry him. Meanwhile q court fav-
orite, renowned for his talking pro-
pensities, had been installed in the
vacant place. The CONSERVATION
Of the fellows may therefore be i'm
agincd when the learned iced sent
in his name as craving admittanco.
The president determined to give
him an audience in full council to
show their regret. Zeeb, therefore,
was ushcred in, and the president,
taking a glass, filed 1t as full Of
water as it could possibly hold, so
that another drop Of water would
cause it to overflow. Zeeb understood
the allegory, but, seeing a rose
leaf lying on the floor, he picked
it up and placed it gently on the
water, which did not run over.
The members were so charmed at
this that they instantly admitted
him a member, regardless Of all
rules to the contrary. The book
was brought for him to sign his
name in, which he did, adding the
numerals 100, and then prefxing a
nought thus, 0, 100? showing the
number and worth of the academy
was not increased by his admit
tance. However, the president,
charmed with So much modesty in
so learned a man, scratched out
the nought and added a one in its
place, 1,100-thus implying that
the academical worth was increased
tenfold by his presence.

A RECEIPT FOR A DUEL.-In the

Russia, lived young and hot head
ed lieutenant, who one day had o
dispute with a clerk in the gov.
erment service, and suddenly ex
claimed,-

handle your pen; but | have at
home a pair of sharp swords with
which | can write better
The other answered.
Such playthings ought 10 be Civ

to lose
The lieutenant then challenged
him to fight with pistols.
Very WELL the clerk replied, "a
accept your offer, on one condition.
You know l have a wife and chill
dren for whom l must care. My
income is four thousand FIVE hun,
dred marks. If you will deposit a
sum sufficient to yield that interest,
1 am willing to fight. In thai case
you must place to my account

LITTLE MISCHIEF.

Little Mischief keeps the household
In q constant hub-bub boo.
Ii she's quiet, then It's certain,
She is deep in mischief, too.
All about the house she travels,
Restless, busy little elf.
Ii she spies some hidden treasure,
Reaches up and helps herself.
There's 10 use to reprimand her;
She looks up in blank surprise,
With her baby lips a-tremblc,
And reproachful, tear-dimmcd eyes.
Mamma thinks herself a heather,
Such a baby girl to Scold.
Why Of course, size knows no bctte:-
Mischief isn't two years old.
So we put our little trinkets
Higher up beyond her reach,
And with loving smiles aud kisses,
Rights of others try to teach.
Yet we know we ought 10 scold her
Duty for the mastery striveS.)
Little Mischief, blessed darling!
She's the comfort of our lives.

NIND-SOUNDS IN THE DES.
ERT.

The travellers tales Of sounds
like the ringing of bells, which
they have heard in deserts and
lonely places, are familiar. Some Of
them are two we'll substantiated to
admit of serious dispute. Among
them is that Of the noises heard at
the Gebel Nakus, in the Sinaitic
peninsula; the musical cliffs Of
Orinoco, told of by Humboldt; and
the sounds which the French SER
wants, Jollois and Devilliers, de-
clare they heard at sunrise at Kar-
max, Egypt, and described as CON-
parable to the ancient fable of the
vocal Memnon. The sounds are not
always or exactly like the ringing
Of bell sometimes they resemble
the music of Il string, and may be
generally described as of an inter-
mediate character between the two
classes. A characteristic Of the
sounds is that no one call discern
where they come from. N. Emile
Sorel, fills, in order to determine
their origin, has made some success
ful experiments in reproducing
them altificially. Taking his gun
into an open field, he placed it at
an angle Of forty-iye degrees
against the wind, when it gave
forth q sound. Then moving it
around, he caused it to utter the
exact tone he sought. The sound
could not be localized. Addressing
peasant, he asked him, ''Do you
hear my gum Pardon, mon
sieur, it is the bells o. A
similar answer was got from every
one whose attention was called to
the noise. 1t was believed to come
from about two miles and q half
to the windward. NJ. Sorel believes
this experiment authorizes the hy-
pothesis that the ringing is the re-
suit of the blowing Of the wind
over slope at the foot Of which is
something that may act as aresona-
tor. What is done on small scale
in q gun may be done on a large
scale in nature, On the face Of a
mountain or rock which is backed
by valley or a ravine, or which is
itself elastic enough to give the re-
sonant effect. The sounds are ap-
parently not as readily given when
the vibrating surfaces and media
are moist.-Popular Science.

HIGH LIFE ENGLAND.

The Earl of Euston, the future
Duke of Grafton, is about to begin
the much talked Of suit for divorce
from his wife, on the plea that the
lady's first husband was living at
the time of her second marriage.
The Countess will submit in de.
fence that when she married her
first husband she supposed him
a widower, but he proved to have
another wife, and when she learned
this she abandoned him. The case
promises to be exceedingly interes-
ting.
Thirteen years ago Henry Fitzroy
eldest son of fLordAugustus Fitzory,
fell in love with woman known
as kate Cook" She was hand
some and stylish in person, and
her matured charms were quite suf-
fcient to captivate the youth Of
twenty-three. Unknown to his fa-
ther, who was Equerry to the Queen
he married her. Most chronicles
of the peerage ignored the marriage
Others described the bride as the
daughter of John Walsh and the
widow Of ':Mr. Smith" In 1882
the bridegroom's social position
changed. Lord Augustus Fitzroy
succeeded his brother as seventh
Duke OF Grafton. Henry Fitzroy
became karl of Euston. The win
dow Of ''Mr. Smith became Coun-
tess Euston and the future Duchess
of Grafton. But troubles had al
ready come between her and her
husband. They separated by mu-
tual agreement. No fault being
proved against the Countess since
her marriage, the Earl in vain sought
an excuse for divorce. The mystc-
rious. "Mr, Smith has now appeared

JOB PRINTING
ON A CUBAN RAILWAY.

A letter from Havana to the
Pittsburg Post, describing q Cuban
railway, says: Presently an angu-
lar mummilied negro, who had been
frequently passing through the
train and making him self generally
conspicuous, rings dinner bell
which he holds in his hand,
and this is the signal to leave.
You might have imagined that this
bell-man was connected with the
station, and not a palt of the appa-
ratus of the train; but that is an
error-and at every station there
after, when the dirner-bell rang on
the platform at the rear end of
the train, the engineeralways obey
ed the signal.
The train carries three classes of
passengers, the third class in front
and the first class in the rear. The
only. difference is in the seating of
the Car, there being no cushions on
the second and third class, and no
backs on the seats of the latter.
The road is q narrow garge, but
it moves rapidly enough, and there
are no vexations delays. Many of
the stations are fenced in with
barded wire, so that if any one
wishing to d,f audit. Q ai!!oad COM
pany, passes out at the wrong sta,
ton, or having purchased a ticket
for q certain place to which there is
cheap fare, tries to get off where
the fare is dear, he can be certainly
detected The regulation of the
rates, think, depends perhaps up
on the opposition the road may
have, and the rates are strangely
uniast. 1t is cheaper for instance,
to buy ticket through to Havana,
than it is to purchase one to cer-
tain point not quite Lalf way. 1t
may be possible, too, that the road
discriminates against certain points
as such,a thing as that has been
known even in the States.
