Increase of Crime.- A correspon
dent at Berliu draws attention to the
increase of crime in that city. A list
of those crimes, many of them being
immler, committed during the months
of November and December, has been
published. None of the victims are
rich, and moat of them belong to the
poorest class. Thus, a workman was
murdered for twenty thalers; a widow
for a small sum of money which she
had about her; a cigar merchant was
stabbed for 800- thalers, and so on.
Some of those c.rim> s, too, were com
mitted in broad daylight. They are
not the work of practised hands, but
of an ignorant, brutal class, demoral
ized by war and military life, and
driven by misery to adopt murder as
a profession. The police, meanwhile,
appear to do nothing to protect the
public. Some half dozen of these
murders have been committed during
the last two months, but only in one
case lias the murderer been dis
covered.
An Incident of Beyrout. —One of
the most pathetic instances of pure
Orientalism that wo ever heard is re
lated as a positive fact. While the
children of the Abeih school were
playing together one day at recess,
two small girls fell into a pleasant dis
pute about the size of a certain object
—plaything perhaps. One said, “Oh,
it was so very little !" and the other
asked, “How little!” Then the mis
sionary looked out of the window and
heard her answer, “Why, a little wee
thing.’' Then the other pressed her
still further. “Well, liow little?” to
which the girl r< plied unconscious of
the poetry or the pathos of her com
parison, “As little as was the joy of
my father on the day I was born!”
An Appeal. —The following persua
sive and encouraging note was attach
ed to a baby left, on a door-sb p in St.
Louis: “Sir: Please accept this or
phan child. If you should despise the
gift, give it to someone who will ap
preciate it. ‘Prom the little acorn
the mighty oak towers above.’ This
waif may yet be a Washington.” Now
the gentleman and his wife thus ap
pealed to already hid of their own
eleven possible Washingtons (or Mar
tha Washingtons) and might have
passed the little stranger over to the
police; but they didn’t do it. They
saw the arithmetical loveliness of the
number 12, and kept aud comforted
the small unit.
Rest in Old Aof. —1 covet rest nei
ther for myself nor my friends so long
as we are able to work; but when ago
or weakness comes on, and hard la
bor becomes an unendurable burden,
then the necessity to work is deeply
painful, aud it seems to imply an evil
state of society wherever such a ne
cessity generally exists. One’s old
age should bo tranquil as one’s oil
age should be playful; bead work at
either extremity of human existence
seems to be out of place. The morn
ing and tlio evening should be a-like
peaceful, at mid-day the sun may burn
and men may labor under it.
True to Life. —“ Mother mother!”
cried a young rook, returning hurried
ly from his first fright. “I’m so fright
ened. Iv’e seen such a sight!”
“What sight, my son ?” asked the
old rook.
“Oh, white creatures- screaming
and running and st railing their necks,
aud holding their heads ever so high.
See, mother, there they go!”
“Geese, my son—merely geese,”
calmly replied the parent bird, look
ing over the common. “Through life,
child observe that wlmn you meet any
one who makes a gr at fuss about
himself,aud tries to lift his head higher
than the rest of the world, you may
set him down at once as a goose.”
Receipts Against Melancholy.—
I once gave a lady two-and-twenty
receipts against melancholy. One,
a bright fire; and was to remember ail
the pleasant things said to her; anoth
er, to keep a box of sugar-plums on
tiie mantle-piece, aud a kettle sim
mering on the hob. 1 thought these
were trifling at the moment, but hai’e
in after life discovered how true it is
that these little pleasures often ba.i
isli melancholy better than higher
and more exalted objects; and that no
means ought to be thought too trifling
which can oppose it in ourselves or in
o t hers. —Sid ney Sm it it
Japanese Beauty. —The figure of the
Japanese young woman up to the age
of fourteen, or as long as she lias the
free use of her limbs, is a model of
symmetry. When she reaches the
age of sixteen, without having done
anything to impair it, she is a won
der to the eye, and remains so until
twenty-five, or possibly a little later.
Then she ceases to charm for a cer
tain period in any way, excepting by
her manner, and that is generally pre
served to the last.
