A Mechanical Harp.

Harp playing by machinery is one of the
novelties. The subsection of the harp has
been effected in the following manner: To
begin with, it is arranged 50 that the plane
of the strings is horizontal, the instrument
living upon table, after the fashion of a
either. Then, as regards the written music,
the notation of the traditional stave has
been abandoned and sheets upon which are
impressed mysterious groups of numbers
are used in its stead. When one of these
sheets is slid into a frame made for the
purpose the meaning of the figures is in
terpreted.
Each of them falls under a string Of the
instrument, and by picking at them in
numerical order with a beveled pencil of
ivory the operator performs sumo. Time
and phrasing are indicated by the spacing
and alignment of the numbers, nor are the
requirements of harmony forgotten, When
the melody of the air is adjudged INSULT
cient one of the figures is accompanied by
a letter indicating that a button attached
to the instrument, and bearing the same
symbol, should be at this juncture pressed.
This action by bringing a small saw OF
ivory points into play, produces chord
suitable to the occasion.-New York Tele

An exquisite species of embroidery pecu-
liar to Persia has its origin in utility, and
a utility such as one would never dream of
in this country. The ladies Of Persia must
completely conceal not only their faces, but
even their eyes, when walking abroad. But
rs it is also indispensable that they should
be able TO see, a network has been devised
for them to wear before the eyes, through
which they can see without being seen. 1t
may be said here that they do not object to
this apparently severe law of the land, for
law it is as well az custom. BY means of
this veil they are so absolutely disguised
that they can go where they please without
being followed or molested. Not even a
woman's husband would dare to lift the
veil or chuddah He would be cut down on
the spot without mercy.
Now Il is in the embroidering of the lat
tice work designs of the Chuddah that
Persian women display marvellous skill
with the needle 1t is made Of white cam
brio drawn and worked in geometric de
signs in white thread or silk. Some O
these patterns display exquisite beauty
and delicacy; those which are old are al
most like gossamer, and are Of a soft
creamy tint.-S. G. W. Benjamin in Har

LINCOLN and Phillips.

1t is unfortunate that in an eloquent and
glowing speech upon Lincoln's birthday an
orator should have thought it necessary to
sneer at Wendell Phillips in order to point
his praise of Abraham Lincoln. Abiding
to Mr. Phillips scathing arraignment of
President Lincoln's administration when
it seemed to drift, the speaker said, IF l
may paraphrase a famous saying, the
world will little note nor long remember
what Wendell Phillips said here; it can
never forget what Abraham Lincoln did
here"
The speaker is aware, of course, that
there was at times a deep and general dis
content with what was felt to be the de
lays of the Lincoln administration. Even
as late as August, 1864, after his second
nomination, Mr.. Greeley, Winter Davis
and many other eminent and patriotic Re
publicans demanded his withdrawal as an
unsatisfactory candidate. Mr. Sumner be
sought Mr.. Lincoln to move more rapidly,
and the wise president replied, Mr.. Sum
ner, am only six weeks behind you" The
feeling that he was too slow was not pecul-
lar to Mr.. Phillips. He was mistaken in
goodly company, as the speaker himself
showed.
Wendell Phillips said aloud and in star
Ting tones to arrest attention, what others
were saying privately. But he and they
and Lincoln had the same great end at
heart. Phillips duty like that of Samuel
Adams, was to arouse the public mind and
to express with force public discomfort.
He did it with the art Of an orator; he did
it with what now seems injustice and with
too sweeping generalization. But he
stimulated the public feeling which was
indispensable to strengthen Lincoln to go
forward Each in his own way honestly
served the good cause. Both were great
patriots. -Harper's Weekly.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT.

Life is too short for any vain endeavor,
For useless signing over vanished days;
No time for scorn, no time for needless praise
Life is too short.
Life is too short for envy to be nourished,
For sin to cumber up the path we tread
Think Of the suffering! hear the cry for
bread!-
Life is too short.
Life is too short for avarice to devour
And rob mems souls to seek its evil end.
No time for bitter thought, you know, my
friends
Life is too short.
Life is too short to waste in tears and griev-
ing
Over the love that came but did not stay.
rTis sweet to dream, but dreams, too, pass
away
Life is too short.
Life is too shOrt-forgive and be forgiven,
While yet we linger; everything is brief,
There is no time for idleness or grief
Life is too short.
