be past MSG 1 of information in a mannerof which there is no conceivable naturalexplanation."

" It reminds me most," said the Rev.Mr. Briggs, "of certain cases, un-doubtedly well authenticated, in whichthe existence of the st>-ealled 'secondsight " ha -t been demonstrated in a verysingular manner.""And," added my uncle, "although

" Hush !" cried several voices. "Herehe comes."My uncle, my Cousin Lily and I were

staying at a boarding-house at the sea-side, and among a somewhat numerouscompany was a certain Mr. Gregory.We hail mathi his acquaintance on thenight of our arrival in a rather conicalmanner. He was passing our room justaa Lily was calling to me in a tone ofwoful desiiair that she had broken thekey in the lock and could not get out.Through the key-holo he had voluu teeredhis services as an amateur lock-picker,and released us from our imprisonmentThis introduction had served quite as

well as a much more formal one wouldhave done to inaugurate what promisedto lie a pleasaut seaside acquaintance.Now on first sight he certainly present-ed very little ap(>earanco of lieing a sus-picious or dangerous character. He wasa young man of some 25 years of age,with a bright, frank expression and agleam of mischief in his eyes. He wasexceedingly intelligent and well in-

formed, and, though rather retiring in

the mixed company ot our establish-

ment, could, we discovered, sing well,

read wed and talk welL VVithout in-

truding himself upon us, he had madehimself very agreeable to us two girls

;

and we had surmised that ne was a

tiling serious to happen. That thoseexpectations were no. altogether unful-filled will now be made plain.

There were twe> new arrivals on theday on which oar r.tory opens. Ourcompany had hitherto been pleasant an I

We were at no pains to conaeal ouri aversion to their ill-mannered and often-i sive intrusion, but they seemed deter-mined to accept no rebuff. Lily said that

|ae had met here the most pleasant and

the most imp! ;isat:t p. r- -::s whom wehad ever s« en iu our travels. Theformer class, I iiresunic, mainly

The Grices were sitting next tonswhen my uncle made this anutsuus<«-=-

On the previous day, for instance, mynncle had met a g> utlemau at- the sta-

tion and had brought him homo to din-

ner. We saw them walking slowly upthe garden toget her in conversation, andLalv had exclaimed

:

" Who on earth is this ?"

Mr. Gregory looked anil said ?

" His name is Smitli, and he is return-

inir to town by the midnight train."" You know him ?"

"Never saw him in my life before,"

was the answer.Sure enough his name proved to be

Smith, and ho returned to town thatnight after a long private interview withmy uncle ; nor had he, lie told us inanswer to our inquiries, ever seen orheard of Mr. Gregory bdforo.

On Saturday morning, also, the Rev.Mr. Hriggs, taking a walk on the beach,mctlitating on his Sunday text, had en-countered Mr. Gregory, who volunteeredinformation as to the aaid text, withchapter and verse all correct, to thepetrifaction of the reverend gentleman.On another occasion, when our elder-

ly lady fnoutl mentioned that she hadbeen out making a small purchase, Mr.Gregory informed us sotto tx>oE tbnt abottle of hairwash constituted the pur-chase in question. This communicationwas very unfortunately overheard. Itscorrectness was not at the time definite-

this that she first propounded her owntheory on the subject, which

kind of retuling sin ha I inte nded. Rutthe offer was seriously m.idti and re-

peated, and my trncTe, who donrly liked

being read to, gave a dubious consent.

Miss Lily, w»th liKnl affection, madehim particularly comfortable iu an arm-chair, and Mr. Gregory commencedreading a long, prosy article on Frenchpolitics. He read with anything but bi»

usual spirit, and in a soft, low, monoto-nous voice. The consequence wae—as

had possibly been not wholly unforeseen—that my uncle was soon enjoying hisaocustoiuetl ivlteriKM.u si.-Mn. Tlw rva I-

ing, having become gradually slower andsofter, now ceased, and the reader, ltx>k-

ing up, suggested by a sligjit gesture anadjournment to the garden.

Lily and I tried to «motl»vr our laugh-ter and look shucked, but we adoptedthe suggestion. A book of poetry wasuieklv produced, and I iound thatere is a difference be-ttwvn hearing

French politics read in a stuffy drawing-room to a midiTJo-afljgd, g-'Utlemaii, uu 1

startled by an exclamation from Lily.Looking up, I saw in the garden below,sitting on a scat under the trees withtheir faces toward us, onr dear friends,Mr. and Mrs. Grioe.The gentleman was keeping up, ap-

only remains to search your person."My uncle turned pale." It is known that you are leaving to-

morrow morning, and the attempt will

be made between now ami then. Willyou allow me to offer you my advice ?"

I will not attempt to describe my re-

spected uncle's condition of body andmind at thi< parjj of the interview. Suf-fice it to «=:iv that the proffered advicewas ultimately adopted.On that evening my uncle declined to

accompany us when, an hour after din-

ner, the house emptied on to the prom-enade. Mr. Gregory also was missing,ninl had not appeared at dinner. TheRev. Mr. Hriggs took us under his care.

My uncle wa-s already nodding in his

chair as we went out. Twenty minutesafterward two of the company softly re-

entered the room. This 1 had from aneye-witness. Their names were Mr. amiMis. Griee. Mrs; Once stood at thedoor and her husband advanced gentlyacross the rloor to whuav my • nnele lnyhack in hi* cluur, snoring audibly, his

Mr. Griov crept up to him, nhfttracterl

the book with n practiced hand, put it

The Egg Story.

It woldtl violate all precedent it thestory of Columbus and the egg were to

be spared the renders of this volume. It

is briefly an follows : Soon after lusreturn to Spain he dined with ( -ar. linal

tie Meudozu, an eminent clergyman witha talent for dinners. An objectionableyoung man who was present, and whoundoubtedly had taken more champagnethau was goexl lor his fellow-dim ire,

asked the Admiral ii he did not thinkthat if ho had not discovered tlie NewWorld some one else would have veryshortly discovered it. He was unques-tionably an impertinent young man, buthe was undoubtedly right iu assumingthat sooner or later the Atlantic wouldhave been crossed, even if Columbus hadn. ver b.-.-n lx>rn. Historians t.-il us thaiColumbus, in reply, asked the youngman if he could stand an egg on its little

end, and when the young man, after

rudely inquiring what Columbus wasgiving him, was constrained to admitthat he couid not perform the feat in

question, the great explorer simply flat-

tened the little end of the egg by knock-

|ing it against the table, and then easily

] made it stand up. The whole companyinstantly burst into tears, and exclaimedthat Columbus was the greatest and

| noblest of mankind. If this trick of

; flattening an egg was really regarded as

| a brilliant repartee, by which the imper-1 tinent young man ought to have been! utterly withered np, it gives us a melau-

icholy view of the state of the art ofrepartee among the Spaniards. The realfacts of the case are probably these :

Cardinal de Mendoza, the dinner and theimpertinent young man doubtless ex-isted in the manner specified, and theimjiertinent young man, in an advancedstate of champagne, probably said some-thing insulting to the Admiral. The

"Oh, that had nothing to do with it.

Later still, when my uncle had gone

When they In came stationary they gen-erally perished. The primitive Kings of

Irish r. eords, of which the value is only

beginning t<> be discerned, lor, whatevermay be said by the th-»ori-ts w ho explainall national characteristics by somethingin the race or the blood, the most ancientIrish lawB and institutions are nothingmore than the most ancient Germaniclaws and institutions at an earlier ttage

of barbarism.Now, when Englishmen like Edmund

Spencer first began to put their observa-tions of Ireland into writing— at the endOf the sixteenth century— there was oneIrish practice of which they spoke withthe keenest indignation. This was whatthey called the " cuttings" aud "eosher-ings" of the Irish Chiefs—that is, their

periodical circuits among their tenantryfor the purpose of feas'ing with theircompany at the tenants' expense. It

was, in fact, only a late survival of com-mon incidents in the daily life of the

barbarous Chief or King, who had notax-gatherers to collect his dues, butweut himself to exact them, living

as a matter of right, while he moved, at

the cost of his bubjects. The theory of

the Irish law was, though it is impossi-ble to say how far it corresponded withtho facts, that the Chief had earned his

right by stocking the clansman's landwith cattle or sheep.We find a highly glorified account of

the same practice in ancient records of

the life and state of those Irish* Chiefs,who called themselves Kings. "TheKing of Munster," says the " Book of

Rights," "attended by the chief

Princes of his Kingdom, began his visits

to the King of Connaught, and presentedto him one hundred steeds, one hundredsuits of military array, one hundredswords, and one hundred caps, in returnfor which the King was to entertain himfor two months at his palace at Anachan,and then escort him to the terri-

tories of Tyreounell. He presented to

the King of Tyrconnell twenty steeds,

twenty complete armor, and tweutycloaks, for which the King supportedhim aud the nobility of Minister lor onemonth, and afterward escorted him tothe Principality of Tyrone."The King of Munster is then described

as proceeding through Tyrone, Ulster,Meath, Leinster, and Ossory, every-where bestowing gifts on the rulers, andreceiving entertainment in return. I sus-pect the entertainment is of morehistorical reality than the royal gifts.

The practice, however, described withthis splendor by the chronicler orbard is plainly the same as the cut-ting and coshering which Spencer andothers denounce as one of the curses of

Ireland.— AVr Henry IS. Maine in theFortnightly Review.

Borrow In;:.

/> <ir fiirla—Let me entreat you nevoito forma habit of borrowing—borrowingiu season and out of season; liorrowing

dresses and wraps, riblxins and pins,

scissors and thread, dimes and pencils,

until your friends will expect to heatyou say. " Please, may I borrow," eachtime you look info their rooms. Lend-ing is a real kindness, and betokens an

obliging spirit; bnt borrowing showscard s-- management and no proper re-

gard for the rights of others. To besure, it is sornetitlits necessary evenwith the l>est regulated household,wardrobe or work-nax. Still I have a

real regard for those who will dcni them-selves a pi. asure or put off a time ol

enjoyment rather than borrow. But ol

all things. n< r, r ask the loan of clothing !

Some persons are so sensitive that if

they could afford it they would rather

throw away a garment another had wornthan appear in it themselves. Althoughyou may think this foolish, you mustbear in nrnd tliat the garments belongto their friend, and by asking to liorrow

them, yon forcehertochtK.se betweenpunishing herself with complying or

offending you with a denial.

Perhaps the girl readers are not ad-

dicted to this exasperating habit, auddo not need this talk. There is, how-ever, among my acquaintances a maideawho makes h. rself one of my greatest

trials. She aaks for my scarf to wear to

the city . for my shawl when she visits

her aunt, tor my hood when she goesskating. One of my dresses figured at

her cousin's wedding ; one of my neck-ties is seen in her photograph ; she pro-

tects her hands with my mittens, walksdry-shod in my rubbers, and warms her

fingers in my mufi. Yet she is so help-

ful, and sociable, and amiable, and re-

turns so readily and neatly each article

borrowed, that I seldom venture a re-

fusal, especially when I remember that

her wardrobe is scantily funiishe.E Still

I often take myself severely to task for

allowing a girl with si'ch excellent traits

to pass into womanhootl with this disa-

greeable one. So full of the hope that

sho will see this talk, I send it on its

mission, trusting it will help somemaiden to become a more agreeable

thing to her "about Jack at the hous-,

Simple Tales for Little Children.

1. Here we have an album. It is full

| of pictures for little children -with dirty

I rirjfrem to look ot. Were are two picture*

of papa. This is one of him before hewas married to mamma. He looks like

a two-year-old colt behind a bond of

music.*

H.-re is a picture of papa after

he ha 1 married mamma. Vow he looks

like a government mule hauling a load

of pig iron. See if you can pnt yonrr on the nose and the eyes and the

mouth of each picture. Turn down sleaf when vou come to a pretty picture

you like. The baby is eating bread and

molasses. Let him take the album andlook at the pictures, too.

2. This is a lamp. It is full ot nice,

yellow oil. Can you light tho lamp? If

there ie too much oil pour some of it in

the stove. Mamma will not miss the oil

if you i>our it in the stove, but she maymiss you. A little oil on the carpet is

not a bad thing for the oil, but it is »bad thing for the carpet and yon.

3. Do not make a noise or yon will

wake the policeman. He is sitting onthe doorstep asleep. It is very hard on

him to have to sleep out of doors these

cold nights. There is a bank being

lobbed around the corner and a womanis being killed in the next block. If the

policeman waked up he might find it out

and arrest somebody. Some people be-

lieve this is what policemen are for, but

tlio i>olicenien do not think so.

4. Who is this creatnre with long hair

and a wild eye ? He is a poet. He writes

poems on spring and women's eyes andstrange, unreal things of that kind. Heis aiwavs wishing he was dead, but hewouldn't let anybody kill him if he could

get awav. A mighty good sausage-Btuffer

was spoiled wheu the man became a

poet He wotdd look well standing un-

der a descending pile-driver.

& The girl is at the gate. A youngman is coming down the lane. The girl's

papa is sitting on the lroiit porch Heis very old. He has raised a family of

eleven children. What is the poor old

man thinking about, and why does ha

gaze so intently at his right boot? Maybehe is thinking about raising the youngman who is coming down the lane.

How Do Tou Keep Yonr Room 1

A look into the chamber of a boy orgirl will give one an idea what kiud of

man or woman he or she will probablybecome. A hoy who keeps his clothes

hung up neatly, or a girl whose room is

clean always, will lie very apt to make asuccessful man or woman. Order andneatness are essential to our comfort as

well as to that of others about us. Aboy who throws down his cap or bootsanywhere will never keep his accountsin shape, will do things in a slovenly,

careless way, and not be long wanted in

any position. A girl who does not makeher bed until after dinner, and sheshould always make it herself rather

'.ban have a servant do it, and throwsher dress or bonnet down in a chair,

will make a poor wife in nine cases out

of ten. If the world could 6ee how agirl keeps her dressing-room, some un-happy marriages would be Baved.—Con-Qregationaliat. »

An exchange has thes^ truthful words

to boys :" The boy who spends an hour

of each evening lounging idly on the

street corners is wasting, in the course

of the year, 365 prescious hours, which,

if applied to study, would familiarize

him with the rudiments of almost anyof the familiar sciences. If, in addition

to spending an hour each evening, hewastes ten cents for a cigar, which 'is

usually the case, this worse than wasted

money would pay for ten of the leading

periodicals of the country. The grati-

fication afforded by the lounge on the

corner and the cigar is not only tempor-

arv but positively hurtfuL You cannot

indulge in them without hurting your-

selves. You acquire idle and wasteful

habits which cling to you with each

succeeding year."

this city have a crushing strength nearlvfour times as great as that Credited byexperienced engineers to the strongest

quality of granite, would accept thestatement as true. Yet it is a fact, andbeing so, the query as to why glass hasnot received more attention from archi-

tects as a structural material naturallysuggests itself. A reporter had a talk

with several prominent glass manufac-turers on the subject, and in answer to

an interrogatory as to whether blocks of

class could be made in suitable lengthsand sizes and so annealed as to be util-

ized in the construction of a building in

place of 6tone, they (aid it could bedone. Said one of these gentlemen :

•• This question has been considered bymyself u nnmlier of times, and, althoughI do not want to advocate the absolute

abolition of brick and stone, yet in theerection of art galleries, memorial build-

ings, etc , a structure composed of

blocks of glass iu prismatic colors wouldbe a unique, Imailliflll and lasting

structure. With the numerous inven-

tions which have come into use of late

years in connection with the productionof glass, the cost has l>een graduallygoing down, while the quality of the

fabric ia steadily becoming better." One objection which would be raised

to the durability of a glass house, in tholiteral seuse of the words, might be that

the blockB would not take a bind, or ad-

here together with common mortar.

This objection can Ik? readily set aside

by the use of a ginnl cement, and whencompleted the structure wdl stand for

The Idol of Hindoo Women.Hind. io girls are taught to think of mar-

riage almost as soon as they can tulk ; in-deed, they are often contracted iu mar-riage at six or seven years ol age, andgo to live with their nnsbands at twelveor thirteen. Before this, at the age offive, Uicy are taught to propltate thegods in order to s cure a good husband,and t licit little minds are distracted Bythe idea ot what a model husband oughtto be. Tin orthodox conception is ahusband likethe god Siva, who was holy,austere, advanced In yeari, (uid faithfuland devoted to one wife, the goddessDoorga. Good little girls revolt at theidea of a husband marrying a secondwife while the first is alive, and will con-sequently confess their anxiety to marrya faithful spouse like Siva, and theylearn from their elders to utter the mostvindictive speeches against their rival

wife. But, tor all that, Krishna is theidol of Hindoo women, nnd he was any-thing hut faithful to one wife. Ho notonly kicked over her milk pans, ranaway with the clothes of the milk-maids,but danced and flirted with other men'swives, eloped with royal damsels, andmarried an infiuite number of beautifulwomen.

Will a Railroad Kver Cross the Sahara.

Some years ago Victor Hugo made anafter-dinner sjieech in relation to thepossible future of Africa, which wa>rklicnleu even by jieople possessed of anintelligent imagination. The groundwhich the great poet took was that, per-

haps many centuries hence, Africa woulddevelop »» civilisation of her own as

wonderful in its way ari any civilization

that has yet existed. Surely, it ir. not

more remarkable that in course of timehighly cultivated race should develo]from negroes than that human beings lie

, rolv««d from the miadrnmana—and th<

latter is a theory almost Universally ac-

cepted at present by the scientific

world. It is not known whether th.

proj-ct in contemplation by the French,of l.uilding a railroad the Sahara,will have nnv effect in hastening therealization of Victor Hugo's dream. Theidea is to construct a road of this kindfrom the Lend- waters of the Niger to

the French possessions in Africa, andthen to form a union with another rail-

road running east from Senegal. Thereare numerous obstacles at present in theway of this project being carried out.

It lias long been cherised by the Frenchnation, however, and there is everyprobability that it will one day be fully

carried out.

a crowd gathered and I gathered with it,

and says I to myself, ' 1 his is all verywell, but who's going to pay me for four

' Great heaveus, it's my mother-in-law- !' and says I to myself, 'Thatmakes my four hours all safe," and so I

we put her into the carriage and t«>oU

Reward of Industry.

A poor friendless lad might have beenseen wandering along the streets looking

for employment He presently haltediu front of a butcher shop, and, walkingboldly up to the proprietor, asked for ajob. There was something in the youngman's frank, honest countenance, whichstruck the proprietor favorably,

" Not afraid of hard work !" he nsked." No," respuenled the lad with a

trembling voice. " I have supported mymother and two sisters for live years byhard work."He was put on trial at $5 a week maul-

ing leathery beef, and his sturdy frameand healthy <s institution came in goodplay. Oue day an old lady came in toget some beef, and the proprietor told

him to attend to the customer,"A tenderloin steak, if you phase,"

said she."Here's a cut thatnoholy but the

lirst families get," responded the boysmilingly as he sliced off tour pounds of

tough round and cast it with a heavyhand on the scales, jamming it downwith a quick, dexterous movement, until

the indicator marked six ev. n pounds.Th.'n he snatched it off before the deli-

cate machinery, used to weigh beef, hadtime to recoil.

"Six pounds and a half, madam," hesaid, looking her square in the face withhis .dear blue eves.

The proprietor of the fetal] calk d himin that night, and remarking that he hadwatched his course carefully, added that

as a reward for his quiek, comprehensivegrasp of the business he would raise his

salary to $'•!."> per week. This shows the,

advantage of doing every tiling well, andwhen the boy's mother back in New Jer-sey hears of his success there will be joyin that household. Tonngown starting

The Baggage Act.

A lady writing to the Chicago Tribuwmakes the following confession:

Sitting iu the New York an.l RostouExpress in the old depot at New Haven,a man boarded us and askelif a Mrs. —was on board. An old ladv, directly in

front of me, trembling got up, read thetelegram the man handed, and in greathaste left the car. She stood crying onthe platform, gathering her baggage,when I spied a bttle satchel and um-brella on the seat in front. The carswere in motion, but with officious pri >mpt-ness, the window being open, I chuckedthe two articles out ujiou the platformand leaned back like one who ha- done a

noble deed. Presently a dapper youngman came in and began poking aboutfor his umbrella and saehel. The pas-sengers who had seen my haggngc-uctnever betrayed me, but we all laughed,and some one said the young man hadbetter "telegraph buck to New Haven,an some accident had called a traveler off

the train, and a great deal of baggagewas carried out to her ?"

Cropping the Hair.At length it npjiears, says an exchange,

that a radical change in the fashion ofarranging woman's greatest glorv, herhair, is really to take place. We hear

It is not s>> well suited to thepiquant, irregular-featured "minors" of

I'arisieanes, however. ThereforeI hey htivo begun to adopt a looser, softer,

U s- severe style of coijfunt.The hair wUI, during the whiter, it

Btueh to ke. p sn elejdnuit as it doea to

k< ep • h .rse, the olejihaut eating alxmtltHl poonds of hay every twenty-fourhours. And in order to keep up his ap- .

petite the hay must lie the best going,j

lK?ing invariably timothy of tho bestgrade. Other animals that eat hay are I

tbe giraffes, the camels, the deer, zebra,

and different animals of the cattle spe-

rton. Kost sQ these are fed ou what is

known ius mixed hay, timothy and clo-

ver, which is cl>out Ji> pec cent cheaperthiui the timothy alone.

There are 101 other creatures requir-

ing, in many cases, much more delicate

and costly food. Tlie sea-lions have to

be fed on t;>h, usually fresh and salt

mackerel, each animal taking twelve b>fifteen to each meal twice a day. andconsuming all together 100 pounds of

fish daily.

Next in i>oint of delicate livers comethe polar la-arA, whose regular diet is

bread soaked in milk, with fish now andthen for a change. The black bears arealso given bread, 100 pounds lieing useddaily. Vegetables of almost every sort

are lad lilicndly to the diffeisnt animids—cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions andturnips. The elephants are great eal>-

bago eaters, in addition to their standard

diet, hay. Tlie giraffes singularly

enough, uro great onion eaters, whilo

the deer and goats, and animals of the

cow specie*, eat carrots and turnips andpotatoes. Bran and oats and corn are

also liberally distributed—mostly once

or twice a week—amoi g the hay-eatinganimals.The most delicate and expensive

feeder in the place, perhapn, is theourang-otang, which gets beef, potatoes,

bread anil honey. As there is only onein the collection at present, the cost of

keeping this grinning satire on thehuman species is not multiplied. An-other delisacy whieh must not ba omit-
