Proud Of the Capital.

The people Of the country are fond of
their capital. More than the Washing
tonians themselves, they have seen the
wonderful progress of Washington, for
by visits at intervals, some of them ex-
tending over years, they have met with
some contrasts which tell the story to
the spectator more thoroughly than con-
slant living in the city could do. In diff
ferent parts of the country we have
heard people discuss the growth of
Washington with pride and relate the
comparisons of their various visits. The
man who was there 10 or 20 years ago
and who goes again this year takes a
tale back home which he never tires of
telling.
And not only will Washington have
no rival in the sense Of competition, but
it is destined to be beautiful beyond any
other city or any other capital in the
world. What has been done is simply
an earnest of what is to come. It will
be the capital Of society as we'll as poll
tics. Art and education will follow, and
already it is fact that more learned
and authoritative men can be gathered
in an audience in that city than any
where else. in the country. In fact, Bal.
timore is glad to be so near Washington.

The Fullness Of Country Life.

In the country every morning of the
year brings with it new aspect of
springing or fading nature, new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and new
promise or warning in heaven. No day
is without its innocent hope, it's special
prudence, its kindly gift and it's sublime
danger and in every process of wise hus-
bandry and every effort of contending or
remedial courage. The wholesome pas
sions, pride and bodily power of the la
borer are excited and exerted in hap
piest unison. The companionship of
domestic and the care of serviceable ami
mails soften and enlarge his life with
lowly charities and discipline him in
familiar VISIONS and unboastful forti-
tudes. while the divine laws of seed
time, which cannot be recalled, harvest,
which cannot be hastened, and winter,
in which no man can work, compel the
and coveting Of his heart
into labor too submissive to be anxious
and rest too sweet to be wanton.-John
RuSkiu.

Animals In Groups.

The ingenuity of the sportsman is
perhaps no better illustrated than by
the use he puts the English language to
in designating particular groups of ami
mails. The following is list of the
terms which have been applied to the
various classes: A covey of partridges,
a hide of pheasants, wisp of snipe, a
flight of doves or swallows, a muster of
peacocks,a siege of herons, building
of rocks, a brood of grouse, stand Of
plover, a watch Of nightingales, clat-
tering of cloughs, herd or bunch of

"Did you have any difficulty with
the Neapolitansp" asked ''None, I"
said Turr. ''The following episode will
give you an idea Of our relations: Dem
onstrations were the order Of the day. I
had only been governor Of Naples two
days when, looking out Of my windows
at the Palazzo Forestaria, saw an i'm
mense crowd Of about 10, persons
coming along shouting, Death to the
Bourbonsp I sent out to invite three Of
the ringleaders to confer with me as to
what they wanted and what it was all
about. One Of them was Gambardella,
q great leader among the fishermen,
who informed me that they wanted 400
Bourbons whose names he had down in
a list and handed to me (scorticarli). l
said: Gentlemen, pray sit down and let
us discuss the question. Now what do
you think Europe would say when it
hears that under the government Of
Garibaldi and Gambardella 400 Bour-
bons have been killed.
But, my lord general says he,
do you not know the way in which we
have been treated? myself have been
in prison and received IS blows with a
stick
Why, my FRIEND I said, that is
the very point. For having committed
such like brutalities the government Of
the Bourbons has fallen. And if we
initiated their example all we should
prove is that we ourselves are unworthy
Of liberty With these and similar
words succeeded in soothing their rage
and from that moment Gambardella
placed himself at the head of new
movement-in those days every one had
to be at the head of some movement
and was in the habit of making me his
counselor and acting according to my
advice. Garibaldi got to know him later
and liked him very much. But one
morning the poor man was stabbed in
the street. "-ContempOrary Review.

The Home of a Genius.

Beethoven was born in small house
in Bonn. His father had inherited the
vice Of drinking, and often Beethoven
and his younger brother were obliged
to take their intoxicated father home.
He was never known to utter an unkind
word about the man who had made his
youth SO unhappy, and he never failed
to resent it when third person spoke
uncharitably of his fathers frailty.
Young Beethoven was thus taught
many a severe lesson in the hard school
of adversely. But ibis trials were not
without advantage to him. They gave
to his character that iron texture which
upheld him under his heaviest burdens.

Al 'Aeel,,.,.s

Moralists and MI osophers have done
their best, when they have themselves
reached that time Of life, to eulogize
"old age, " but they do not deceive even
the young. ('.Thele old gentlemen, /"
says youth with ils callow cynicism,
ARE foxes who haIe lost their tails ~
They have done thu same thing with
poverty, and with the same i'll success.
1t has had no exhihrating effect upon
poor people. The rdasons why old men
nave written in praise Of old age are
not far to seek; they say with johnson,
do not let US discourage one another. !"
They are in for il, and they make the
pest OF 1t. 1t is not well to cry sinking
nsh. moreover, there is natural tend
ency among we'll principled persons to
make light OF the ills Of humanity.
They fancy they are paying compli.
ment TO Provldence, and perhaps even
conciliating it.
There are many old men who say,
and quite truthfully, that they would
not be young again if they could, but
what they mean is not, of course, that
they would not exchange weakness for
strength and disillusion for hope, but
that they have no desire to live their
lives over again. The clinging to exist.
ence that we so often see in even very
old men does not arise from love of it.
Pope, sitting by Sir Godfrey Kneller's
deathbed and finding him much dispir-
tied, told him he had been a good man
and would doubtless go to heaven.
"Ah, my good friend, - was the deplor-
able but pathetic reply, II wish God
would let me stay at Whitton.' Itwas
not, however. the attractions Of Whit.
ton that he had in his mind.
