Born In the Lucky Months.

Fatalists and those who firmly believe that what is to bs will be, assert that nearly all men who achieved fame in this world were born either in the fall, winter or spring months of the year, the summer months not being conducive to mature development. Out of the twenty-two presidents of the United States only two were born in summer. Zachary Taylor was born in September; John Adams, Pierce, Hayes and Arthur were born in October; Garfield and Polk wero born In November; Van Buren was born in Decem- Der; Washington, Lincoln and Harrison were born in February; Madison, Jackson, Tyler, Fillmore and Cleveland were born in March :; Jefferson, Monroe, Buchanan and Grant were born in April; John Quincy Adams and An drew Johnson were the only summer birds. Both were born in July. June, July and August can claim only eleven out of the sevanty-six men in the senate. All the rest were born in the lucky months.
 Sir Moses Montefiore was born in October Aahomet, Wendell Phillips, Cowper, Louise Alcott and George Eliot were born in No vember; John Milton and Thomas Carlyle were born in December; Lord Byron, Alex ander Hamilton and James 6. Blaine were born in January; John A. Logan, James Russell Lowell, Longfellow, Edison and Gen. Hancock were born in February; the great Napoleon was born in March; Bismarck, Adelina Patti, Washington Irving, Charlotte Bronte, Professor Morse and Handel were born In April-New Y ork Press.

A Source of Increased Prosperity.

The rich man from the city is gradually possessing all this fair if not fertile region. He finds large areas of land almost valueless for agricultural purposes charmingly lo- cated on picturesque bays and inlets He swallows the whole at gulp, in the financial sense. He fences in his broad domain, fences intruders out, and puts up notices forbid ding any treSpassing on areas which, for gen erations past, were free to the man to the manor born to shoot over, gather berries and dig clans on. The bird nesting, bird destroy ing boy, is also ruled out, and I am glad of it Idid my full share of this mischief on these very areas when boy, both by gun, trap and nest robbery, and have spent years in repenting such outrages. should not like my fields tramped over by such gangs of cruel urchins as belonged to, and can now sympathize with any man who wants his land free of marauders.
 It Is curious to note how little the people permanently resident in any certain locality recognize the real sources of their coming prosperity. For years after the failure of the whale fishery Sag Harbor was under 6 cloud. It was melancholy place. Its young men went to California, to the west, to the city and to worse places. It hankered after a business. Ut dwelt mournfully on the past prosperity of the whaling era. It started a cotton mill, which lived a sickly life and finally departed in smoke and flame. Yet today Sag Harbor has more stores than ever before. It has moro houses than ever It is better ordered and prettier than ever. Streets once wastes of land are now lined by shade trees Three steamboats, during the summer daily arrive and depart, where one was more than equal to the business thirty l years ago. The nasty menhaden fish fac tories contribute to its trade and help ruin with their scum its old fishing grounds.
 What has been the chief source of this in- 1 creasing prosperityi There is but one an swer. It is the all powerful ratlroad,-Pren- 1 tice Mulford in New York Star

LIGHTS OF THE SOUTH.
A lMvorite Lamp During the Days of the
 Confederacy-Pine Knots.

A lAvorite Lamp During the Days of the
 Confederacy-PineK Knots.
 In their many exigencies and narrow straits the people of the Confectionery were nowhere put to @ more crucial test than in the matter of lights. In the cities gas, the fumes of which were as offensive to the olfac- tories as it's radiating power to the eye, af- forded wretched pretense of illumination. In the country, where even the miserable gas was not to be had, the makeshifts to supply light were many There was but little coal oil ill the south, and as little sperm oil and the tallow of the country went in large meas ure to the armies for military purposes.
 A favorite lamp, and one easily fitted up, was 0 saucer of lard with dry sycamore ball floating in the midst of it. A blaze ap- piled to the sycamore ball readily ignited it. and 1t burned with feeble, sckly glare until its sea of lard disappeared, and left it no longer a fiery island. In the recipes printed in the current newspapers, setting forth the proper manner of preparing the sycamore balls for use as candles, special in sistence is made that they are to be gath cred from the tree and dried in the sum-" If allowed to become overripe and fall to the ground before use their fibrous covering would lose its held upon the core and drop away into the lard.
 In the slave quarters, "fat' pine knots blazed upon the hearth through winter and summer nights alike, while the night scenes of the negroes merry makings in the open air were illuminated by means either of the game material or of crude tar piled upon the bowls of broken plantation shovels, set high in the midst on tripods made of three limbed saplings. The juba dance and the corn shuckng were equally invested with elements of the unreal and the grotesque, where the hickering and shifting lights of the uncon- ventional lanterns touched the dusky faces | and forms and the smoke of their strange | altars rose over them.
 Another light in great vogue was the Con federate," or "endless," candle It was con- structed by dipping wick in melted wax and resin and wrapping it around stick, one end of the wick being passed through a wire loop fastened to the end of the stick. | The wick burned freely when lighted, but the illumination was very feeble, and unless the candle was watched and the wick drawn through the loop and trimmed every few minutes the whole affair was soon afiame. A great advantage of the Confederate candle was the length of time which it would last, l its duration, when properly attended, being commensurate with the length of its wick 1 and stick. S 1 By the light of the sycamore ball or of the endless candle thousands throughout the south bored over the news columns of the papers at night to learn how went the battle, or scanned the lists of the wounded and the 1 dead with eyes that ached with their hearts. | A. c. Gordon in The Century.

peculiarities of Porpoise Leather.

Everybody knows that porpoise skin makes good shoe strings, good, at least, so far as durability is concerned. It is not so we'll known that porpoise leather also makes good shoes, and that there is quite demand for them. A porpoise leather shoe, if made well in the first place, always fits well, for, while 1t is very stretchy material, it can never be made to cover more surface, no matter how much it is stretched. What it is extended in one direction 1t looses in another. This peculiarity makes it very close fitting, and at the same time soft and pliable on the foot It used chiefly for shoes by people anxious to keep their feet dry, as it is absolutely inn permsabls to water. When it is wet, how ever, it swells to twice it's usual thickness, which temporarily spells it's good looka-- New Fork Sun.

THE CABIN ON THE ssERGELL1NA.

THE CABIN ON THE AERGELLINA.
 Ten minutes afterward, Masaniello brought his bark and its occupants safely into the roadstead of Pozzuoh They immediately set off for Naples, whence they were distant two good leagues. Such was the origin of tho singular acquaintance which was formed between the daughter of the viceroy and the poor fisherman and his sister.
 From that time Isabella constantly en- desvored to inspire her father with some compassion for the misery of the people But the viceroy of Naples, whose policy was in- spired by cold, mrelenting nature, and whose heart was closed to every generous feeling, facetiously joked his daughter on her new "hobb--;;" and when she hintsd at the possibility of revolt, he replied, with a burst of laughter:
 "The people, my dear child, are like . beast of burden-the more you load them, tho less will they kick"
 A few days after her attempt to convert her father, Isabella, who strove to persuade herself that she was attracted by the sister rather than by the brother, paid another visit with Dame Pedrilla, to the cabin oi Masaniello.
 As they approached, they perceived Jeanne

STowAwAYs are becoming one of the burdens of Surveyor Beatties official life at the New York custom house. About every steamer that arrives has from two to half dozen on board, and they are not timid or gentle fellows either. The sur- veyor's staff of inspectors is already twenty one short, the busy season is almost upon them, and yet the surveyor, under the statute, is required to detail one or more inspectors to watch these stowaways and see that they do not escape from the steam ship until Collector Magone has found out whether they are paupers or criminals or not. Of course, the steamship people have no interest in detaining the stowaways on board It is remarked that the temporary prisons rigged up on board frequently leak stowaways, and the surveyor's men have been forced to redouble their vigilance Perhaps the fftieth congress will be asked to pass law requiring the companies to give bonds to protect and defend America from stowaways. It is stated that at other ports the steamship companies are under heavy penalties for every stowaway who escapes fsom the steamships.
