No country in the world perhaps pre sents more striking proofs of the evil of excessive forest-clearing than the kha nato of Bokhara. Thirty years ago the khanata was well wooded nd watered d regarded by Central Asians as a sort of terrestrial paradise. About twenty- five years ago the mania of forest clear ing was begun, and continued until the heavy timber had entirely disappeared. What the improvidence and ignorance of the rulers spared, was utterly Burned by the fury of civil war. menso tracts of land once well peopled and cultivated, deprived of fertilizing moisture, are now barren, treeless wastes. The water-courses being dried up, tho system of canals, which sprei like a net-work over the khanate, has been rendered useless. Tho raoyini sands of the desert, no longer restrained by the forest-barriers, are slowly ad vancing, filling up canals and dried wa ter courses, and will continue their noiseless and ceaseless invasion until the whole khanate will be converted into a dreary waste as barren as the wilder ness separating it frem Khiva. It is im probable that the khan possesses either the energy or the means necessary for averting the desolation with which his territories are threatened. “There will be no newspaper in heaven," said a Brooklyn clergyman, exnltingly. “ Then you can’t give me the first proof of it," retorted a mau in the congregation.

But though she stoj •ping, sho went on talking in i*, addressing tho baby as though it could understand her.

Wives who flirt are always more thought of by their husbands than constant wives uro. Mr. Winnor seldom said much about his affection for his wife, and now that he had taken the odd way of shutting himself up ovory evening, slid doubted its oxlstonoo, aud grow oold in hor manner. There was never any quarrel. Sho ivor reproached him—pride forbade that—but thoro soomod to be frost iu : smile and ice in her words. Sho ant that there should be. When ho said, so very soon after dinner, “ And now for my Frouolx Rosy," she would nothing, but-, somehow, find an ex- i for ovading tlio kiss with Whioli at first ho always left her. “Wlmt aro formal kissos worth," she said to- her self, “if ho dislikes my sooiety?" And soon came to pass that, aftor this, she would put roses in hor black lmir and in her bosom, and watch, with flushed chocks, at tho window for Mr. Waldo’S ooraiug. She waa not iu lovo With htm—she as in lovo with hor husband ; but hor husband had awakened her jealous wrath, and this young mau tioklod hor nnity. Ho name to hor so often, leaving for ir sake darling girls who courted him. no made her dolioato compliments, he lookod at hor so. In a word, he seemed t.o he in lovo with hor, and it was a triumph. Ah. if women quite understood tlio -anitioB of men, and knew also that. When she returned, Waldo, with Unshod ohofaks and danoing eyes, ad vanced toward hor. “ How well you look," ho said. " It is too tempting-—would you bo very angry, I wonuor, if I should steal a kiss ? " Would sho havo lot him dono it? Would sho, if at that momont a stop had not crossed tho hall, aud a voico— her huslmud's—called : “ Rose, where aro you ? " Rose Winner never know, though she often asked herself. But tho stop emuo, the voico came. Thoro was tho master of tho house, aud Mr. Waldo—not French iu his manner now, very business like and American, indood—had said : “My doar Winnor, how aro you? I’ve boen keeping Mrs. Winnor from hor pleasant, walk, I’m afraid ; but my sist-or wanted her receipt for canning fruit, and I oalloil for it. I'm suro Amelia will bo very much obliged, Mrs. Winnor. Thanks ; hut I must go now. Tho horsoB, you know. And I hopo you’ll havo a ploasaut walk. Good- byo." “What a fluttered manner Waldo has," said tho mau of tho house, look ing after him. “ Roso, look out of tho window." “ At Mr. Waldo ?" asked Rose, coldly. “No," said her husband, “dome hero." She oarao. Sho stood bosido him. At tho pate she saw a baskot-phaotou aud a pretty pony. “ Nice, ain’t they ?",said hor hnHband. “Yes," sho answered, moro coldly still. “ Dou’t yon guoss whoso they aro? “ No." He stood hank to mark hor astonish ment. Then ho drow hor down upon his kuco. “ Evon sinoo baby’s coming made you less stroug than you wore, I’yo mount you should have thorn," ho said ; “ and so I’ve managed to got them. I’vo bcon working four months at tho translation , ...... of a soiontiflo work and they are tho when they havo suoooeded. or think H ult.

Robo started, and hold out hor hand for the card tho girl presente 1. “ Ohaunoey Waldo," was written up- i it. “ Yon may stay here with baby, Mag- e,” said she. “I will see Mr. Waldo. Mr. Winnor is engaged.” She peeped into the glass again, and set tied her crimped hair with hor pink pnlrns. Her dress needed no arranging —sho was always well dressed in the evening—and ihon she went down into the parlor, whore Channooy Waldo, who considered himself tho most fas ciimting man in the United States, sat waiting for her. There was no harm in going down, It was only right to go ; but Satan, they say, is always on the lookout for one’s weak moments; and it seems likely that ho sent Mr. Waldo in tho nick of time. Rose’s vanity had been stung, and she was anxious to prove to herself that Rhe had not lost her power of fascination. She proved it conclu sively that evening. Nothing was said, nothing was dono that Mrs. Grundy could object to; but there are smiles that mako tho heart of a lady-killer flutter, and smiles that put him at a distance by their very grocious- ness. Formerly Mrs. Winner had given Mr. Waldo these latter smiles. To night she gave him the former. So that he dared to hold her band a little lon ger than he bail ever dono before in parting, and to say softly : “ May I call again very soon ? I bate to think of your being lonely.” For she had told f him—yes, she had indeed—that “ Mr. Winner was forever shut up in his study, and that she fan cied sho should die of ennui some day.”- Which was true enough, but unwise statement for a pretty young wile to make to a Waldo, they feel far moro onntompt than lovo weak a creature, who forgets honor bo fur that it no longer becomes dishonorable for them to kiss and toll. Tho coldest salutation that honest, bus band over gavo his wife is really worth more than the finest flattery nnother an oan whisper to her. And Wiuner did not guoss at what is going on. She wanted him to know, that she might rack his heart, with jealous pangs ; but she dared not lot, him know. Magpie, tho maid, had qnito a myste rious air now when she brought Waldo’ card, and onoo she had whisperod : “ But-1 hoard tho miuitar sUr, ma’am, i if he was coming down.’’ And Roho had flushed and naked hor why sho said that, but Maggie made no answer. I havou’t lived with fashionable ladies so long not to know when s hint 11 got, rao a presold,’’ she said to hor- If as her mistress left, tho room. And ...ere wero thoughts in her heart that would havo made Roso Winner faiut with shame had sho guessed them ; for 1 her hopo was that hor husband iglit know others tlion coveted tho prize ho did uot Value. Still, night aftor night, that door was looked. Still, in tho small hours of tlio morning, the husband crept to his brief rest. The days wore passed at business, and though tho man strovo to ho gonial when tho pair were together, tho woman rofnsed to meet him half-way. A wo man who considers herself insulted 1ms no power ovor horsolf. It was not pos sible to Roho to oliat, and laugh. Sho was too much of a lady to quurrol, hIio simply frozo. It was a bright day in sjiriug. Tlio fruit trees wore all blossoming, beautiful out of doors; but in her suburban homo, Rose Winner sat sadly at tho window admiring nothing. Evory now luid then vohioles passed down the road. So many of them holding two peoplo—man and woman—husband and wife she made of them. But her bus- hand novor took hor to drive, much ho know sho loved the exorcise, and greatly as ho know sho missed tho long walks her girlhood had rejoiood That she would have forgiven, for car riage hire is expensive, and they wore not rich ; but to bo abandoned a had been—it was torriblo. And she had not oven seen him for two days. He had told hor that, ho should stay i town, and he had. Yes, this was dosor tion indeed, and now sho know all. Her woman instinct lmd come to hor aid Ho had fallen in lovo with some oi olse. Oh, could sho but follow him wutoh him—convict him of this, and then die I Just then a gay littlotnrn-out whirled tho road 'and stopped at tho gate, Out of it tripped Mr. Waldo. He bow ed with an air. There wero times when Mr. Waldo, who had boon abroad, be came intensely Frenoli. He had a lingering idea that the ’manner suited the present, occasion, and ho touched the brim of hisTiat to^liis breast, and said : “ Madame is amusing herself watch ing the drive." “Mudame" shrugged her should' “ Amusing myself ?” she said. “ < dear, no. Stupefying myself, I think. Waldo, if you know any girls who think of marrying, toll them how dull married life is, and warn them from it." Oh, I—I never see any girls now, said Mr. Waldo. “Girls aro insipid, don’t you think ? I do, lately, I like but no matter what I like. Wouldn you like u drive to-day? Tho good papa” _ Mr. Waldo became French again—“the good papa is immersed in business, and natuially madame does not remain at homo always." Rose looked longingly at the pretty carriage. But this was a step beyond those that she had takon. Dared sho go ? Yes, she would, and then tell her husband. Sho would show him that she did not mope for him. She would prove—oh, all sorts of things. And papa will probably not bo i,> enr 9 ” nriul Mr. Waldo, il deal, but L wanted you to be able to drive out in this sweet spring weather. You oan drive, you know, and those aro very safe, and in the evenings wo will go together! eh, wife ?" Bho was orying on his broast. But why, ho could not guess, and asked : “ You aro so good," sho said, “ and I am so bad, I thought you woro tirod of Astonished, he lookod into hor faoe. “ I oan’t see how you could havo got Riioh a notion,'’ ho said. “I’m sure I was nice to you, wasn’t 1?

Then tho good, stupid'fellow kissed hor nguin. * wafl want, of oxeroiso aud you ,.w.~ not well," he said. “You ^took foolish notions—womon always do." “Yes, I know it was foolish now,’ she suid, “very foolish." But in her heart sho mudo worse no ousations against herself than that. Mr. Waldo called onoo more after this, but MrH. Wiuuor was so distantly >olito that ho oalled no moro. Ilo bo- .iovod ho had made a mistake in uskiug hor to kiss him—at least sho lmd be oomo one of thoso prudish women who would not flirt, and ho lost iutorost in hor. HASE BALL IN ENGLAND. A London Morning Dost Criticism of Our National canine, Tho admirablo part of the play lmd all through boon tho iloldiug. Nothing hit up iu tho air osoapod. Tlio accu racy of tho catching would havo ro- joiood tho hoart of old Olnrk, and made many a slow bowler onvious of tlio pairs of bauds. But tho noouvaoy aud skill of tho oatohiug was surpassed by the wonder of prooision of throwing. A momont to lo k, a rnomout to get tho pronor equilibrium, and then tho ball is hurled, “ Blmrp and low,” quite straight to tho hft«oman’s hands. No fumbliug, no half-volleys, no wido throws. Bo accurate was it that tho oxolamatiou of many a oriokotro prosont was: With snob throwing who would uot bo a wiokot keeper? Tho Philadelphians woro un able to mako up thoir lost ground—tho seventh inning of Boston and tho ninth and Inst woro both skunks, but iu thoir last, threo lmuds tho Bluo Stockings lmd only made two, aud at tho ond of the play thoy woro only seven, whoroos their oouquorors woro thirty-four. Hud tho gnrno been nonror it lmd boen hotter, but it Biiftloed to show tho nature of tho play and many of tho qimliflootioiiRot a good player. Tho lessons which it taught woro, ns we suspootod, first, tlio immense advantago of cultivating fiohling. Gould English oriokotorR throw and Gold us tho Amorioaus did wo should soo much loss of mammoth scores, and matches would ho far moro interesting. Sooondly, tho advautogo of losing no time. If tho outsido took tho Hold with 1mlf tho alao- rity shown by tho AmorioaiiB during base hall, or when tho timo came for thorn to rosumo oriokot when tho base bull was dono, far fowor matches would loft drawn, and Tar moro mon would ablo to play. Lastly, the necessity playing for tho sido. A man’s hits toll in his favor wliou tho record is kept, hut they help his colleagues as much as himself. In the fielding, too, ho oon- stoutly koops in mind tho neaessity of enabling othors to distinguish them selves, and ho kuoas that his unaided efforts aro useless iiuloss ho is well booked up. A man, for instance, who lms caught a catoh whon a play< boso, hurls tho ball at onoo to tho base man in tho hopes of got-ting two birds, as it woro, witli one stone. All tho players play for the side, and not for thoniHolveH. Individual prowoss is morgod in united huooohh, and evory one oaros moro for his follow than for himself. Thoro oan bo no four that oriokot will bo ousted by huso bull, has moro variety aud many more phases. It is both harder work ond greater idle ness. But many mon could find timo for base ball who lmvo no timo for oriokot, aud in bringing under tho notiuo of Eng lishmen a game which him so many good points, and tlio great advantage of bo- ing playable in throe hours, they. have, conferred on us a boncflt for which tlmnks aro duo. Shall and Will. i tho Rielmrd Grant White, writiug Galaxy, says: “Ah to shall and will sc.mottling may doubtless bo dono by study and by taking thought to ohook had huliits and correct tho result of un fortunate associations. Tho mistako most commonly mudo in tho use of thoso words, and tho ono thoroforo most fully to ho avoided, is tho uso of will for shall and of tho corresponding would for should. Shall is much loss often used for will. And yot in tho word shilly-shally, whioli is upou everybody s *•• petrified the rulo and the oxam- , regard to shall and will. Shilly shally is merely a colloquial corruption of ‘Blmll I? Shall I? 1 and thus ex- presses tho condition of a man who n viisoillating between two courses of con- duet. It lias been made into apart! oiplo, perhaps oven into a verb. A mi who ‘stands shilly-shallying about woman,’ as tho ladies say, is a man who, as thoy also sometimes say, doosn know his own mind about hor—mental condition for which tho sex has not tho highest respoot. Now no ono would soy that a man stood asking himself, ‘Willi? Will I?’ and yot such is es sentially the mistake most frequently made in regard to tho mho of those words in conversation. Wo hear poo plo say, ‘What will I do?’ and oven • Will I do’ thus or so? tho offenders in whoso cases being generally of what some people humorously call the Hiber nian persuasion—an^expressiou, by tho way, for which thoro is no ‘ authority of very respectable standing and an tiquity. Among peoplo of Anglo-Baxon race and of average education tho mis take, when made, most commonly takes tho indicative form, thus : ‘ I will go to bed [elegantly, retire] at ton o’clock to night,’ ‘Wo will breakfast at eight to-morrow;’ instead of ‘I shall go to bed,’ &o., * We shall breakfast,’ &o. Ucriimny'H Population. Tho recent Gorman census shows that the non-Gorman inhabitants of tho Empire number 3,540,000, or eight per cent. Thoy consist of 220,000 French spcaking’people in Alsace-Lorraine, and 10,000 French and Walloons in th“ Rhino provinces, 2,450,000 Poles, 150, 000 Lithuanians, 150,000 Danes ' North Schleswig, 88,000 Wends Brandenbug ond Silesia, and 52,000 Saxony, 50,000 Moravians and Czechs in Silesia, and 80,000 foreigners.
