The Skating Rink.

The father of a family remarked yes
terday in some heat: Last night
went to tina skating rink on upper
Broadway, for the purpose of taking
my daughter home. | had left them
there at o'clock, and had then gone
down to the Hoffman house to elect
somebody. When got back / walked
in without their seeing me, and leaned
over the railing gazing at the skaters.

my eye. l am a liberal man, and
don believe in coping a girl up as
you would a rare exotic, or watching
her as you would criminal. But /
made up my mind before | got home
that night that it would be just as we'll
to keep an eye on the girls as not.
The sight that met my eye was not
an agreeable one Both of the girls
are young, you know, II and Is, and L
suppose YOU have observed that they
are pretty. AT any rate, they are
bright and fresh young creatures, full
of life and fun. | send them to the
park every morning before breakfast on
ponies, they spend six months of every
year in the country playing tennis and
dipping into the ocean, and | had flat
tered myself that no nonsense concern
ing young men had entered their heads.
l believe the skating rink has undone
in an hour what it has taken me years
to accomplish. You know they employ
as assistants at the rink half a dozen
spruce young fellows, whom l am told
are hired solely on account of their
good looks. They are, in fact, re-
markedly pretty lot of little men.
Their ages are from Is TO % or %, and
each of them has nice curled mus
tache, carefully-banged hair, and gush-
ing manner. They are dressed in uni
forms, and they are the most conspicu-
Gus little crowd of Washers that | have
ever seen. They are actually sicken-
ing.
As stood there gazing at three or
four of these young whipper-snappers
sailing along, clasping the girls hands
in their own and whispering in their
ears, l was astounded by seeing my
youngest daughter sail by in the clutch
cs of the mashiest masher of them all.
He had hold of both of her hands, and
was leaning against her, whispering in
her ear. His mustache rubbed against
her check, his eyes We're half closed,
and she was as red as a beet and star
ing straight at the floor. | gulped. Be
fore caught my breath deserted sail

Carlyle and His Mother.

What Mr.. Froude says of Carlyle's
mother and the relation of the two
throws tender light upon his charac-
ter. He remarks: His mother, whom
he had regarded with an affection pass

spite, or perhaps in consequence OF her
profound Christian piety, he had found
more in common, as ne often said, than
with any other mortal, was now evil
IDENTIFY about to be taken away from
him. A feeling peculiarly tender had
united these two. Carlyle, as
his letters show, had been haunted
from his earliest days by the terror that
he must one day lose her. She had
watched over the workings OF his mind
with passionate solieitude; proud OF
his genius, and alternately alarmed for
his soul. In the long evenings when
they had sat together over the fire with
their pipes at Mainhill, he had half sat
istied her that he and she We're one in
heart and essentials. His first earnings

tributing to her comforts. When mon

him and the loneliness, of which he Sc

An incident in the life of small,

fused to quit the bench. Each train
that passed the dog mounted on the
wall and closely scrutinized and seeing
not the face he looked for resumed his
attitude of patient waiting. Food and
water were taken to him, but he refused
both. The afternoon gradually mar
rowed and the dog still waited ana
watched. and darkness fell and the
lake breezes grew chill, still chung TO
his post. Businessmen, not few OF
whom their wives and children had in
ferested in the faithful animal, stopped
to pat him. but no inducement could
draw him from the bench. Late last
night the dog was still there listening
with wagging tail to the praise OF a
man who declared that he wouldn I

The Aerial Disturbance of Dynamite.

While the explosive power of dyna-
Unite is intensely local, its aerial disturb
anee, compared with that of gunpow-
der, is very small. Mr.. McRoberts
tells us he has often exploded pound
of dynamite hung at the end OF SIX feet
of string from fishing-rod, held In the
hand without the smallest danger or IN
convenience, and on one occasion wit
messed the explosion of over ton OF
nitro-glycerine from distance OF only
sixty wards. 1t was buried about ten
feet below the surface of the ground,
which was of sand, and covered with
water, yet, beyond the breaking OF
windows and the bursting OF a few
doors in the surrounding buildings,
there was no damage done. In mill
tary service dynamite has never yet
been used. As projectile agent it has
no value whatever, for so instantaneous
Is its action that in a gun 1t would
burst the breech before starting the
ball, and at present no receptacle has
been discovered strong enough to resist
its action when confined. Boston da-
