The ladies of Uruguay are considered
to rank next to their sisters of Peru in
beauty, and there is something: about the
atmosphere which gives their complexion
a purity and clearness that is not else
where found. But when they reach
maturity, like all Spanish Nadies, they
lose their grace and symmetry of form,
and become very stout. This is un-
doubtedly owing in great degree to
their lack of exercise, for they never
walk, but spend their entire lives in a
carriage or a rocking chair.

Soaring the Cinnamon.

The eng ineer of an ocean steamship in
the course of a conversation with New
York Tribune reporter said: 81 have on
a book in the engine-room a curious
table of dates and figures, which shows
to me the exact time for every mile made
by different steamers which l have en-
glneered across the ocean for the last
fourteen years. If anything more than
usual occurs jot it down opposite the
date, and so make sort of diary of it.
1t speaks VOLUMES to me, and recalls
many interesting memories. For in
stance, 1 was looking through it the
other day, and found opposite Novem-
Der 10, 1875, a reference to visit from
Cinnamon. The incident was recalled
to my mind in moment, and | laughed
heartily over it to myself. This is what
it meant. One day while lying in port
we were visited by several Cinnamon
who were anxious to inspect the ship.
They were an ignorant set, and had
never seen any machinary worked by
steam. The captain was good-natured
fellow and allowed them to come below,
although they experienced some doubts
as to the advisibility of so doing. They
were very timid and it took some time
for me to convince them that the ma
chinery was harmless. Finally | got
two of them to come close to the heavy
driving rod, which you know on a large
vessel is an enormous piece of iron. Sud-
denly, without warning, it gave start
forward, and, accompanied by loud
puff of steam, leaped fully ten feet above
our heads. Angry at my assistant for
letting on steam without my knowledge,
turned to speak to him when my atten-
tion was attracted toward the stairway.
The last two Cinnamon of the party were
making frantic endeavors to jump up
half dozen steps at a time. The rest
had disappeared, and before could get
on deck the whole crowd had got into
their boat and started for the shore. No
amount of persuasion could ever get
them to return to that ship, which they
claimed was alive. 1t was mean trick,
but it has afforded me q good laugh

WISE WORDS.

When one becomes 80 conceited that
he can't be taught, he ana fool wear
the same style Of cap.
Nobody is perfect, but forbearance
and love do much to soften the irritable,
hard edges of existence.
Good fortune seldom comes pure and
single, unattended by some troublesome
or unexpected circumstance.
If all would realize that cruelty is as
bitter to others as it is to themselves,
there would be less of it practiced.
Nothing is so great an instance of ILL
manners 40 flattery. If you fatter all
the company you please none. If you
flatter only one or two, you atfront the
rest.
No character can possibly embrace all
types of perfection, for the perfection of
type depends not only upon the virtues
that constitute it, but upon the order
and prominence assigned to them.
Prejudices are like the knots in the
glass of our windows. They alter the
shape of everything that we choose to
look at through them; they make
straight things crooked and everything
indistinct.
Sympathy produces harmony; 1t
smoothes off the rough edges of conflict
ing characters; it brings the cheeriness
of the hopeful to cha5e away the feals
of the desponding; it draws reinforce
ment for the weakness or the want of
some from the wealth or strength of
others

Mans Deepest Emotion.

The deepest emotion that man knows
is love. If, like the air plants, its roots
are upward, and love works with moral
sentiment, it is divine, and is that at
mosphere through which the image, the
ideal, the true thought of God is to make
itself known.
1t is the great end toward which all
creation is tending. The discovery of
that thought has been of inconceivable
comfort to me, for have seen the human
race beginning at the lowest state of an.
imalism, grasping, cruel; Ihave seen the
animal creation organized for cruelty
the shark, the leopard, the lion, as if de-
structiveness was part and parcel of the
original creative design; out of it have
seen little by little emerging other
qualities; love of cubs and whelps; with
slow steps have seen the animal creation
reach 10 the level of the human family,
and that family under one mystic in
| tluence, which we cannot call nature, for
/ it seems to contradict nature at every
step; have seen the steady unfolding
toward intelligence, toward refinement,
/ toward Imagination, whose eyes are away
from organized matter; of ascent and the
law of unfolding at last seems this: To
set the whole of creation upon march
from the lowest form of unorganizeo
matter up through every variation oi
organization, through every form of pas
sion, still seeking it knows not what
until later ages descry that star that al
creation is seeking and around which il
is revolving; and love is that, and is the
final end of creation. Henry Wart
