Trees and Torrents.

From the ''Ch4tonqua"" VIC make the
following extract from an article by the
Rev. S. ". Powell, secretary Of the New
York State Forestry association, recently
organized at Utica: \ torrent is a stream
liable to extreme and sudden increase and
ENTHUSIASTICALLY very small or quite dry
in a dry time, but liable to rise suddenly
to a great height, and rs quickly to
shrink to its former size. BY the loss of
its once rich forests, tho Arlcche, a
tributary Of the Rhonc, became such Il
torrent, its principal branch often being
entirely dry. 1t has been known to rise
sixty feet and dwindlc back to almost
nothing within a few days. The upper
hudson has apparently all the conditions
necessary for becoming such a torrent if
once its forests are exterminated. 1t
desccnds some 1000 feet in a short and
steep course, from q region where there
falls a great deal of rain and snow.

Webster's C~arelessness of Money.

On another occasion Mr.. Webster had
invited some friends to dinner. As he
left home in the morning he requested
his wife to send John down to the office
about 10 o'clock to 90 10 market with
him. John came down accordingly.
Mr.. Webster was busy writing. lie
asked Johu if he had any money. John
replied in the negative. Then" said
Mr.. Webster, "go down to Mr.. Burritt
and ask him to lend me $5." (Burrltt
was a stationer in the lower story.) John
came back and stated that Mr.. Burritt
had not IS, but sent him $40, which Mr..
Webster took and put in his waistcoat
pocket. Pretty soo a poor woman came
in on an aims. asking GRAND. Said Web
ster, still writing, II know all about it;
you've lost your husband and have five
small children and nothing to cat. Take
this!" and he gave her the ten-dollar
note which John had borrowed from MIR.
Burritt. By and by he finished his work
and remarked to his servant: "Now,
John, we'll 20 to market" Down they
went through Court and Washington
streets and Dock square to the Quincy
market, before Faneuil Hall. Mr.. Web
ster bought Of the butchers at the south
end of the market what suited him, but
made no payments, as he had accounts
with them. At last they reached a vcge-
table dealer, of whom Webster also made
n purchase, and was about to pass on as
before, when the faithful John arrested
him with the remark: "Mr. Webster,
this man is q stranger to us: we neve
had dealings with him." True" said
the great lawyer, Every true" and put
his hand in his pocket for the money to
pay the amount. Finding none, he said
to his servant: "John, l thought you
gave nc some money just now:" $50 |
did, sir" said John, "but you gave it to
that poor woman who came into the Of
fce." "Ah!" said Webster, $50 | did,
but I had forgotten all about it. We'll,
John, you must borrow some more money
and come down and pay these people;
and now we will go home ."-B's'0"

wORTHINESS.

Whatever lacks Purpose is evil; a pool with
out pebbles breeds slime;
Not any one step hath Chance fashioned on
the infinite stairway Of Time;
Nor ever came Good without Labor, in Toll,
or in Science or Art;
1t must be wrought out through the muscles
born out of the soul and the heart.
Why plow in the stubble with plowshares!-
Why winnow the chaff from the grain;
All, since all of His gifts must be toiled for,
since Truth is not born without pain!
He giveth not to the unworthy, the weak, OF
the foolish in deeds:
Who giveth but chaff at the seed-time shall
reap but a harvest Of weeds.
As the pyramid builded Of vapcr is blown
by His whirlwinds to naught,
So the song without Truth is forgotten: Hi
poem to Man is Mans Thought.
Whatever is strong with a purpose, in hum
bleness woven, SCULPTURE,
Is known to the Master of Singers: H.
toucheth it, saying, Endure"

Currants.

The dried fruit which bears this appel
lation is commonly believed to have
stolen the name from the wcll-known
fruit growing on a bush, the same from
which our currant wine is made. But,
on the contrary, the latter, as growing
in our gardens, has no original right to
the name, it was borne by the Grccian
currant or grape before the other was
known by our ancestors. The fruit
which constitutes the dried currants of
commerce is really grape-small, round,
sweet and thin skinned. The grape.
vine which supplies it fourishcs in
Greece and the adjacent islands, cspeci,
ally Zantc, whence the best currants
come. Greece looks to the currant as
one of it's first, if not the very best,
articles of export. And Great Britain,
more than any other country, would de.
plore a season of scarcity in Greece,
with damage to the currant crop, since
the British housckecpers and bakers
make great account of this dried grape
for cakes, ~puddings, etc. What is
plum pudding but pudding with these
little raisins mixed in itl The grape.
vine is singular in having so many names
for its fruit, according to its condition.
1t is called grapes when fresh; raisins
when large and dried; currants when
small aud dried, and plums when in
cake and pudding. Currants are named
from Corinth, the famous city on the
Grecian is,hmus. This little grape.
when fresh, is rarely used for the manu-.
'facture of wine, though sometimes it is
brought to the press, and produces a
sweet, oily wine.-Fhuadelphia G'0cer''

The Gondoliers Of Venice.

The Venetian gondoliers ore o hardy.
active, CHEEKY set of men, civil and oblig-
inc, limbed like Greek statues and grace
full as grcyhounds. John of Bologna
might have nodded his incompatible
Mercury from one of these 1.-the: limbed,
sincwy oarsmen. Their fine develop
ment of form is due to their occupation,
their habit of rowing standing, develop.
ing and exercising every muscle in the
frame from throat to heel. As q class
they are the cleanliest set of men to be
found among the lower orders of Europe.
The waterv ways IN which their days are
spent send up no cloud of dust or dashes
Of mud to sully their neat and pictur-
esque attire.
Their hands and~faces, bronzed to as
dusky q tint as the sun and the wind can
att the human ~sg}aermis, and thei'
crisp, curly dafksfocks, are as free from
soil and as we'll kept as arc those of any
high-bred gentleman. The costume of g
gondolier Of the better class would be q
handsome one to adopt for a fancy dress
ball, since it is very characteristic, and yet
simple and sufficiently in accordance
with a gcntlcman's everyday suit to be
worn without awkwardness. 1t consists
of a loose double breasted jacket of dark
blue cloth with trousers to match. The
Jacket is closed with two.rows OF large,
highly-polished brass buttons, and is
bound around the edges and around the
cnffs and collar and pockets with cloth
of a blue, two shades lighter than the
hue of the garment itself. A glazed
sailors hat, around the crown of which
is passed a ribbon of the lighter shades
of blue. with long floating ends, forms
the headgcar.
Sometimes a felt hat, with q melon
shaped crown, the brim curving over the
brow and at the back of the head, is
adopted, but the ribbon is never absent.
A sash of cloth, matching the jacket
and trousers, and with long ends fin
ished with wide worsted fringe, is tied
around the waist, the ends falling at the
left side. Sometimes the jacket is piped
with red, or with the same dark blue as
the cloth whereof it is composed; but
the style 1 have just described is the
most usual, and is also the prettiest. It
opens Mt the throat, showing a collar and
white nccktic, both scrupulously clean,
as are also The white cuffs visible be-
Meath the loose sleeves, the linen being
coarse in quality, but of snowy white
ness. --Phia0elphiG Telegraph.

A Romance.

The recent marriage at Mount Sterling,
Ohio, of Jerome R. Burton to Mrs. Annie
Evans, though q quiet affair, was really
the acme of one of the prettiest romances
in real life, the particulars of which are
furnished by a correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat:
Mrs. Burton, recently Mrs. Evans, nee
Annie Upton, is now but thirty-fve, Is
pretty, petite, and Mr.. Burton is her
third husband, and yet her first. Eighteen
years ago Miss Upton was q student in o
Cincinnati school, and while there she
met Mr.. Burton, then a student In o
medical college. Burton was of a good
Kentucky family, o man of fine appear
ancc, and he soon won the young girls
heart. BY the aid of a mutual friend q
license was procured, though the girl
was not of age, and they were secretly
married. Both continued in school,
giving no outward sign of their changed
relationship. A few weeks later the
young bride was summoned to her home
to attend q sick mother. The girl her
self was seized with illness, and from
letters received during this illness, and
from the girls talk in her dclirium the
secret of the marriage was obtained.
Her parents were greatly angered, and
set about to discover means to unite
the nuptial knot. and as the girl was
not of age at the time of the mar
rage. and as her parents consent had not
been obtained, the first point was to have
her, Immediately on coming of age, re-
pudiatc the contract. This was accom-.
plished partly by coercion and partly by
persuasion. The young man was seen
and the terrors of the law were held up
to him. Young, inexperienced and fear
ing the wrath of his parents, who MS yet
knew nothing of the wedding, he con
sented to a separation and a suit for di.
vorce. The divorce was quietly obtained
scarcely q score Of people knowing
anything of the affair. Burton went
West, and in the course of time Miss
Upton married and came to this place.
Thrrc years ago her husband died, leav-
ing q comfortable property. A notice
of the event, giving the lady's maiden
name, drifted, quite by accident, into
Burton's hands less than two months
ago. He had lost sight of his former
wife and sweetheart altogether, but had
never ceased to love her, and had never
married. He resolved to see if it were
the same person, and learn if possible if
she had been o willing party to the sepa-
ration years ago. He came at once to
see her. Explanations were offered on
both sides, and, finding that each loved
the other, they resolved to marry9 The
ceremony was performed quietly at the
brides residence, her parents coming O
distance to witness it without even a sus'
picion who Burton was. Other explana-
tions occurred later in the day, and 80
far as is known no ill-will exists among
any of those who have a right to be in
terested.

Horses versus Houses,

Cornelius Vandcrbiit's palace (on Fifth
avenuc) is now understood to be for sale,
but as yet no price has been announced,
asserts u New York correspondent of the
Utica Herald. If any reader, however,
should make an offer of half a million it
might be accepted, and even then it
would be selling below cost. Why, the
land cost $685., 600. When Cornelius
selected this corner it was occupied by
two elegant dwellings for which he paid
the above sum and then had them de-
moiished in order to make room Tor the
palace which was three years in construc-
ton. BY the time he got fairly in occu-
patton he became a heavy Wall street
s%peculator, and no doubt hoped to make
enough to pay for the palace. Instead
of that, however, he only sunk a large
part of his patrimony, and is now so
deeply involved as to require the as
sistancc of his father. The latter no
doubt regrets having built q palace since
this example probably led Cornelius into
his extravaganza. These Vanderbilt
houses cost not less than SO, 600, 900, and
it will be u longtime before such an out
lay will be eQualed.
What a difference in taste is displayed
by another millionaire who stands alone
in the ranks of wealth, at least in love of
horses. This is no temporary fancy.
Had this been the case it would have
passed away. Thirty years have been
sutficicntto prove it to be a ruling passion.
Bonner does not crave q palace like
Vanderbilt, being satisfied to exec! him
in horse flesh. In this point, indeed, he
has always astonished the public. When
he paid $40, 900 for Lantern every one
was astonished. That was twenty-five
years ago, however, and since then he
has invested a halt million III the same
manner The interest on this invest
ment is $500 a week, and the cost of keep
ing the animals is an equal sum. Had
Bonner been like Astor, he would have
put his money into land, and (taking
interest into consideration he would in
that case be richer by million and a
half. Had he been like Lenox. he would
have invested in rare books and literary
curiosities. Hadhe rcsembled Commodore
Vanderbilt, he would have gone into
stocks and become a power in Wall street.
None of these things, however, moved
him. He kept aloof from other attrec-
tions. He owns no stocks and no rare
books, and only real estate sufficient for
his own use. The horse is his passion,
and he has shown the mastery of the
latter to.a degree unparalleled in tho
history of the turf. How strange that a
man who began life in this city as a
journeyman printer should thus, as
Shakespeare says witch the world with
noble horsemanship."

A new alimentary substance, the seeds
of the Bolivian cotton tree, has attracted
the attention of the Academic des SCI
cnces. 1t is rich in nitrogenizcd sub.
stances, and contains twenty-threc per
cent. of fibrine and six Of cascin. NJ.
SAGE thought hat flour from the seed
would be very suitable for pastry and
sweets. 1t is likely to be used in sugar
making as q substitute for carbonic acid.
Still another wonderful use has been
found for electricity. Recently electrodes
connected with n dynamo of the power
OF forty ordinary Daniel cells were put
into forty five gallons OF fresh milk, and
in exactly four and one half minutes the
fluid was, as dairymen say, churned, the
butter rising upon the surface. The
quantity obtained was fully equal to
that procured in the ordinary way, and
the quality perfect.
NJ. Follett. a Brooklyn. mechanic, has
invented n wonderful sewing machine,
which, it is claimed, will do eighty per
cent. more work than any machine now
in the market. An experiment with
steam power moved it with a speed OF
ZOO stitches in a minute, and was
started and stopped instantly. 1t is
simple in construction, is easily operated,
and sews all kinds of fabrics, from
leather to fine linen.

Kennjug Flowers Fresh,

All that is necessary to keep flowers
fresh is to keep them moist and cool.
Instead of dipping flowers in water,
they should simply be wrapped up in n
wet newspaper, which will keep them
far fresher over night. A wet towel or
napkin is too heavy, and will crush the
blooms too much; beside, it would allow
the moisture to evaporate too easily.
Boston florists pack rosebuds in wet
paper, and send them q far west as Chi
cago, or even St. Louis, where they are
taken out even fresher than when they
came off the bush.-Boston Budget.
