I.Iternrv Women.

a survey of the lives of the later lit
erary women shows two things: First,
that the most Of them were either sin
gle. or if married were childless: and.
second, that they have been generally
long-lived. The list of literary spin
sters includes Frederick Bremen,
Emily Bronte, Hannah Moore. Harriet
Martinez, Eliza Cook. Miss Sedgewick,
the Carys, Miss Dickinson. Maria
Edgeworth. Miss Milford. Augusta
Evans. Jane Austen: while that of
childless women includes Mrs Nichols
Charlotte Bronte). Mrs. Somerville.
Mrs. Cross, George Eliot, Mrs Me
Lean Uetita +. Landon) Several
have had one or two children only; for
example, Mrs. Barrett Browning had
one son, and Madame Darblay one son.
Madame dc Sevigne. two children:
Madame de Stael also had children
1t Is, no doubt true. that both men
and women Of distinguished intelIectu-
al talents, and who are active brain
workers, are liable to be childless or
to have but few children. The longev-
ity Of female brain workers is simply
in accordance with the established
fact of the longevity of masculine brain
workers Thus Hannah Moore diod
at the age of lightweight. Mrs Somer-
vile at the age of ninety-two, Miss
Milford ut the age of sixty-nine. At
the time Of her death Mime, lie Seyigne
was seventy, Miss Bremen sixty-f0ur.
Miss Edgeworth eighty-two, Nine,

McKim is an honest Irish miner, who
drifted off from Arizona a few years
ago into Sonora. He had little mon
ey but great deal more faith. Ben
ham says: Il should say here that
every mine that has ever been worked
in Sonora, or. indeed, anywhere else
in Mexico, has its early history record
ed in the archives in the district. Thus,
if a claim has laid idle for half a cen
tury, and one wants to gel lts record, he
has only to 80 to the project, or local
authority OF the district, and he is Civ
en- access to the huge volumes that con-
tain the information. McKim got hold
a claim that hadn't been worked for
twenty years, and studied up its histo-
ry. He found that the last year it was
worked il took three shifts of eight
men each to pack the water out Of the
mine: he found that the water increased
so fast on them that the mine had to be
/ abandoned, and from that he argued
that it was by 20 means exhausted.
THE problem then was to get the
water out. But how? McKim had no
money to put up pumps, but he did
have a good deal of courage and 4
strong arm. He went down the hill
and resolved TO run a tunnel for the
mine to strike the ledge below the wa
ter pocket Nearly five years ago Nc
Kim began work, and for long years
he pe1ged away al that tunnel. He
had frlly COO feet to run. For about a
year McKim had brother lrishman TO
help him. but the latter got weary of
the hopeless task. and for the remain
ing time McKm went it alone.
s'AbOut wear ago he noticed that the
face of his tunnel was in moist, crUmb-
ly ground, and he got fearful that it
would tumble in on him. He didn [
90 near the tunnel for several days.
for he was afraid of it. One morning
he went up and found the water pour
ing out of the tunnel like mill race.
The water pocket had broken through
and the tunnel was draining the old
mine at the of 900 barrels a minute.
McKim was beside himself with joy.
/ I'm week he explored the mine through
the old workings, and he found almost
n bed of pure silver. Actually. he cut
out cabinet specimens with chisel.
He sacks and ships the ore. and the
little property is turning out 100000
a year with no other labor than that of
McKim and two Yaqui Indians So
much for patient industry and four
wears of faith and hard work.

SaIvini An Irlshman.

The Louisville Post is responsible
for the following:

friend, that Tomasso Salvini. the
greatest actor in the world, is not an
Italian, but an Irishman2"
What said l. "Salyini car t
speak a word of English
Il know he cant, but hes an Irish
man all the same, and his right name
is Tom Sullivan. His parents. who
were laborino people, emigrated to
Southern Italy when Tom was an
infant, and died there before the boy
was old enough to talk. The youth
was brought up by Italians and as an
Italian. He never learned his mother
tongue, but always spoke the musical
language of Italy. In his Young man
hood he was a member of the Papal
Guards. Now, TO prove to you that
Salyini is not an Italian, / win cite you
two facts, viz: Natives Of the province
of Italy that Salvini comes from al
ways have dark eyes. and are never
bald in middle life Now, Salvini has
light eyes, and has been bald as a
billiard ball for many wears.

GRANDMoTHER's ADVICE.

Tell your sorrows to your pillow.
The world is bright enough, my pet;
Young hearts are light aud free from
care;
And long, long may you journey yet
Ere life for you is hard 10 bear.
But, when il comes, as come 10 will,
The slow decay or sudden blow,
Take up your burden aud be still.
Nor let the world your sorrow know.
Nigh three score years and ten haF q laid
Their pages open TO my view;
I've journeved on through light and shade
And this I've learned and proved il true
That he who sends US grief to bear
Is near us in our deepest woe;
We never are so much his care
As when his hand hath laid US low.
And so, whenever griefs befail,
Still hold them sacred, all your own:
No heart but one canifeel for all
The burdens on our shoulders thrown.
So, when the friendly darkness falls
And watchful eyes are veiled in sleep,
Bring forth each care with silent prayer
Aud give them all to God 10 keep.
