ityvicu {timber (Saacttr KK'iri) w. <inrm;. DARIEN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MOUSING, MAY 30, l!>tl. 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. 6<2r~ M hat was Joan of Arc made of? She was Maid of Orleans.
