[For Tiie Sunny South.}
BROADWAY.
BY T.. E. BLECKLEY,
From early morn tilltafter dark,
A' current flows toward the Park,
And full as last, the oflicr way,
A counter current to the Bay :
This mighty stream, from side to side,
Is thus a double living tide.
Ye restless ones, who to and fro,
In such wild hurry eotne and go,.'
Who run in haste both up and down
This roaring ri\-er of the town,
Shy whnt it is ye al 1 do Stelf,
From day to day and week to week—
What treasure of the heart or-mind
Ye seek, but never seem to find?
To judge your purpose by your speed,
It must be something great indeed ; :
Tis surely not a rash surmise ■
That life-etemal is your prize :
No meaner aim. methinks, eouh 1 you
With ardor such as this pursue.
And yet alas ! if truth were told,
The most of you are after gold !
[From tlie Sunny South ?]
BEAUTY?
BY HOUSTOXIA.
A group of girls were gathered on the
long flight of stairs leading into the
college building. Among them and
restingjuxuriously in the arms of the
fairest, was a child of five years, whose
artless prattle was their present enter
tainment. ■
“Youare so pretty —so pretty!” he
said, with charming candor, touchiug
softly the rosy cheek bent over him,
and gazing into her merry, dark eyes
with ail expression that emphasized his
words. “I had rather be pretty than
anything.”
“Rather be pretty than good and in
telligent ?” she asked, blushing with
pleasure.
“Oh! yes; if you arc pretty you
needn't be good. You can make every
one love you.”
“Do you hear that Carrie ?” called
saucily out from the lowest step a bright
little brunette, with the air of one throw
ing down tlie gauntlet. “Jamie says
beauty4§ better than genius, intelli
gence, goodness—everything 1”
The girl addressed sat above above
the others and apart. Iler slender fig
ure rested against a column of the
porch, her eyes were fixed dreamily on
tlie west where the sun was sinking in
to a sea of flame.
“Well, what does it signify,”- she an
swered quietly, “if Jamie is wrong?”
“Nay, what it does signify is that
Jamie is right!” retorted the other with
emphasis. “At least that is the world’s
judgement—-against you.”
“How declared?”
“In society, in polite literature, in His
tory'.”
“Let history witness”for it tlien.
Whnt does it say?” “That the makers
and andmarrers of the destinies of na-j
tions, the rulers of the world and its
rulers, have ever been beautiful wo
men.”
‘Merely ‘beautiful women?’ There
is a beauty—to me the only true beau
ty—whibli is the physical expression of
every mental and moral grace. ’ This. I
grant you, is the masterpiece of crea
tion ; and when the world finds this
rare gem, it gives it a golden setting in
history or song—a priceless heir-ioom.
But who are they whose merely physic
al charms have made them immortal?”
“What say you to these names, —Hel-
en, Cleopatra, Anne Bolcyn, Mary
Stuart?”
This, —Hellen was a child of the
gods aud worthy of her race and line
age,- . Mark the audacity with which she
planned and the address with which she
accomplished, in. Ilium, communica
tions with the besieging Greeks, their
joint stratagem and the reconciliation
with Menelaus.. Mark, too with what
dignity and regal grace the ancient po
ets delight to invest her; as- latter she
dispenses to wandering heroes the rites
of hospitality in her royal home at Ar
gos, a very queen to the end. And
Cleopatra!' She is subtle Greek genius
and versatility incarnate ; the wittiest,
boldest spirit of her day, fitted to cope
with Romes best and greatest. She read
human nature as the musician reads mu
sic, and fingered at ease the chords of
the heart, dj awing tliecc whatever tones
she would, i ler resources of mood and
conversation were varied and exhaust
less , she herself was always fresh, al
ways a delightful, many-sided revela
tion. Anne lioleyn, educated and ac
complishd in every grace the French
court could supply, was a thoughtful
and brave women, the friend of Eras
mus, and the protectress of the English
Revolution. Alary Stuart had genius.
Refore the storm broke over iter amb
while the sunny skias of France yet
sheltered her, no sweeter poetess nor
truer musician improvised to her lute
for the charmed few who may lie found
even in the court chicles by the touch
stone of genius.
“Think you, Kate, that the world
held no women whose mere physique
was not comparable to theirs? That if
the fine spirit that animated and invest
every feature with grace and passion
and lustre had been withdrawn that the
cold body could have found no rival?” |
The girl asked this with kindling]
eyes and flushing cheeks while her i
voice took a clear, melodious’ flute-1 ike I
ring.
‘ Paulino, sister of the first Napoleon,
was a living model o the artist's ideal,
yet what did she, wit i all the added op
portunities of rank ad power, in histo
ry or in society? II rname will be lost
in oblivion long ere t s waves close over
those of her earlier ivals. Mesdamcs
Sallien. Sevigne, MaUtenon, Kecamier.
or further on still, Asiasia and Cornelia.
Pallas Athena sits higier on Olympus
than Aphrodite, Katejiot alone as mgis
bearer and thunder-wfeldei ii the coun
cils of the gods, but the azure-eyed,’
white-armed goddess! of power, who
well-nigh wins away (torn Aphrodite’s
self the golden award ef. beauty.”
: “Ah ! when ‘Greek meets Greek,’ 1
withdraw from the field,” _cried Kate,
retreating but still flying her colors.—
“1 am not familiar with those ancient
dames as you are, Carrie. Most me on
modern ground. llow is it ijt life to
day?”
‘‘Answer yourself, Kate. Are we of
to- day coarser iu our generation than
were those old heathens in theirs? Is
the divine light of beauty that invests
humanity merely the silken sheen of the
mask, or is it the shining through the
vail of the glory within when we de
scend from from the mount ef com
munion with Deity? Who arc the
beautiful, Ido not say pretty, women
you know here in the college and in so
ciety without? 'Then say who exert
most influence through - character, for
good.”
“For shame, Carrie!” cried Kate,
mockingly; “you know very.well that
you are the Athena of the little Panthe
on behind us. Yon are most intellect
ual ”
“And most beautiful! Look !” said
Grace, in a low voice, laying her hand
on Kate’s arm.
Kate looked up, and the persiflage
died out of her tape and manner in view
of the soft enthusiasm that suffused the
girl’s face with rose that shone from her
eloquent eyes and that touched with new
grace and diguity her form every fea
ture: She was “most beautiful.”
A SUBMARINE MONSTER.
A Victim of the Schiller Disaster found
in the Clutches of a Cuttle Fish.
The story is a brief one. Mr. Franz
Hauser, whose body was buried at Pen
zance, near Land's End, was a native of
Luxomburg. His mother and two sis
ters were on the Schiller, intending a
visit to their old home, while he remain
ed in lowa. On tlie nows of tin; wreck
of the vessel he became so deeply af
fected that lie fell into a raging fever.
When he became convalescent lie made
inquiries whether tlie bodies of his rela
tives had been found. He obtained 110
satisfactory information in the States,
and resolved to make 'a personal effort on
the spot. He came across the ocean,
and at once went to Penzance, where at
last he ganied.the certainty that neither
of the three corpses had been recovered.
Thereupon lie employed the services of
■two- experienced: divers, purchased a
complete diving armor, and submitted
to a course of training under tlie in
structions of the two men he had em
ployed. As soon as ha was able to move
about under the water, and accustomed
to the heavy suit, he determined to de
scend into the sea where the Schiller
had gone down and search for his moth
er and- sisters. Several descents were
made without success; though tlie re
mains of the vessel were seen, yet 110
body could be observed. But one day
as the three men were silently moving
along about among some sharp-pointed
crags and reefs, and being a considera
ble distance away from the wreck itself,
Frans Hauser was startled by tlie sight
of what appeared to be the bead of a fe
male form.- It seemed to hang from a
reef some ten feet High. He directed
the attention of the otiicrs ly pointing
towards it- Slowly the three stepped
forward in the direction of the reel'.—
Nearing the spot, a pitiful and hcart
: rending scene presented itself. What
was supposed to be a female head was
such in reality, yet little of the body to
which it belonged could be seen. The
corpse was firmly held iu the clutches
of a •,
GIGANTIC CUTTLE-FISH
with, its enefrmous arms and extended
suckers, clung to it and to tlie sides of
the rock like a wild beast •foasting < on
its prey. The sight, say tlie two sur
viving divers, was shocking;, yet awe in
spiring. They describe tiie 'cuttle-fish
as having a circular central body that
counts not less than four l'cet in diame
ter, of a grflenish black blue with alter
nating bright and dark spots and a sli
my surface. It was rounded like a
dome, and it seemed as if a portion of
the human body had been absorbed in
to it by the .tremendous power of suction
this monsteris believed to possess. Its
arms—tlie divers counted eiglit—were
apparently of much strength, being over
twelve feet long, and judged not to be
loss than a foot in diameter where they
joined the body. Some of these arms
clung to the unfortunate victim, others
hold fast to the protuberance of the rocks,
and several were swinging through the
waters like the trunk of an elephant,
but twice the size.
Such was the view the three divers
had as they approached this reef, amt
Franz Houser made a sudden spring
forward toward it; but he was held back,
llis associates knew that by going any
nearer they would expose themselves
to attack from the monster, for which
they were unprepared, They gave the
signal to the boat, and all throe were
immediately hoisted up. Having the
coverin'’' rctnoVed from his head, Franz
Houser declare 1 that he had recognized
in the female face one of his sisters, and
he was determined to descend again to
rescue her body from being devoured
by the submarine monster.
II is wish was not gratified, however,
he being nervous and his strength too
much exhausted, and it was agreed to
make an attempt the next day tr the
■ day after. But, iu the morning, young
j Hauser was delirious, and he lingered
1 on in a paroxysmal condition for some
days till death closed his eyes. The
two survivors of his expedition under
the sea have made sworn statements of
the t ruth of these facts, and it is believ
ed that, sdine presentation has been sent
to the British authorities of the Admi
| rality for complete and thorough scieii
j tide searches of the entire vicinity of
j the Beterrier Ledges to ascertain wlietfe
jor these tremendous creatures do .feed
I on human victims of shipwreck.
A TREMENDOUS BATTLE.
Old McStinger was going to bed a
little wavy the other night, and not
wishing to disturb Mrs. McStinger, who
! has a tongue like a rat-tail file, ho
1 thought it just as well not to turn on
the gas. lie got on very well until he
reached the door of the chamber where
his patient wife lay sleeping. Hare he
paused a moment balancing on his heels
; like a pole on a juggler's nose Then
ho made a bee-line across the floor.
Mrs. McStinger, with her usual exem
plary fortitude, had placed the rocking
chair with such gifted skill that n > man
could come into the room without run
ning over it; so the first thing he knew,.
Mr. McStinger stubbed his toe-nail
against the rocker, which knocked the
seat against the crazy bone of his knee,
and made one of the long arms prod
him in the stomach. .Simultaneously
he fell over the chair crosswise, and it
kicked him behind his back before lie
could get up from tlie floor, as he stood
on all fours. The engagement was now
fully opened. When a man begins fall
ing over rocking chairs in a dark room,
lie ought always to have three days ra
tions arid 40 round l
\\ hen McStinger could get tip straight
.his knee came down on one of the lone’
j rockers behind, and (lie back of the
chair came down on his head with a
\ whack that laid, him out flat, on the floor,
. and before lie entil'd move, the chair
j kicked him three times in the tendevest
' part of his ribs with the sharp en 1 of the
rocker. This made him perfectly furi
| oiis, and ho scrambled up and made a
j blind rush at the chair, determined to
| blow up the enemy’s works. He ran
j square against the back, and it rocked
I forward with him, turning a complete
somersault over the handles, throwing
McStinger half way across the room
landing on top ofliim, digging into his
abdomen like a bull's horns, as lie lay
spread out on the under side. It would
have been a good thing for McStinger
if he had lain still then and let the rock
ing chair have its own way.
It lay flat on its back, with the long
point of the rockers embracing his ab
domen, and didn’t seem to want to do
anything active just then. But MoStin
ger couldn’t make up his mind 40 give it
up yet. He rolled over sideways and
Upset the-chair.. It fell with a.crash mi
its side, giving him a furious dig in the
Hv.crwhieh made him straighten, out his
logs spasmodically, barking one shin
from the instep to the knee on the rock
er which hung in the air, an 1 getting
the chair on its l'cet again, where it
stood rocking backward and forward at
him, like a wary old ram making feints
of bucking.his adversary, in order to
throw him off his guard. The blow in
the side nearly finished McStinger, and
while lying there rubbing Ins wind back
again, lie was just beginning to reflect
whether honor required him to proceed
any further in the affair, when- Mrs. Me
Stinger suddenly began screaming all
the llamas in the crimes act, under the
impression that the Charley Boss ab
ductors were trying to commit a burg
lary, bigamy, robbery and everything
else on her.
Up to this time site had been speech
less with terror, and had lain there trem
bling, shedding perspirati m, and accu
mulating shrieking power, until she
had gained the screaming capacity of a.
camel back engine. Site had just readi
ed iter third xforzainlo J'ovtissivio o.cccl
enutrfo, when old MeStinger succeeded
in getting to his feet once inure and be
came dimly visible to Mrs. MeStinger.
With one last wild*parting shriek she
sprang from the bed and ma lea dash
for the door, near which stood the risk
ing chair menacing tho whole universe
with a butting motion. Mrs.. McStinger
hnd no time for investigation just then,
aud she pitched into and over the rock
ing chair, and clear An down stairs, the
chair after her turning over and over,
and kicking Mrs. MeStinger every
bump, until they botli landed in the
hall belrVw, where tho clmir broke all to
atoms. Tills ended the fight.
If wivo3wil learn from this sa l story
not to leave rocking chairs standing
around the middle of the room for their
poor husbands to failover, we shall not
have written in vain.

f* was a peace warrant case, between

Georgia justice of the peace. I saun

Iu response to a question from the
Court, old Zip gave his trousers an ex

‘Go alii'.i! an I make out vmir case.

‘Yasser. Weil, efyer inns' hab it, I

‘Between wlio? Oh ! vassor;’ contin

‘Bless your soul, yes !' said the Jiw

tDat's jys" what I'm a coinin' at," said

‘Dry up !’ said the Court ‘Now tell
us where the defendant was.’
‘Danao whar he war,’ said Zip, scratch
ing his head, doubtfully. ‘.Spec’ ’ —
‘Do you mean to say.’ asked the
Court, with a rising inflection, -that tlie
defendant was not present?’
‘Sartinly” replied Zip. ‘Ain’t got to

Honor shouted, purple with indignation.
‘And make these parties settle their dif*.

Tlie investigation came to an abrupt
close, and the last I saw of old Zip lie
was complaining loudly because lie was
not allowed to tell the entirehistory, of
his case.
“S WEET SIXTEEN.'’
“Sixteen, to-day! sixteen to-day?’’
was the burden of the song' ihat broke as
sol’tly on the slumberous air as though
it had drifted oji through the valley of
dreams,, and the young girl whose tune
ful heart ran over with melody, sprang
lightly from her couch, threw up the
sash, and looked out on the early morn

breezy woods, and sweat wafts of per
fume from the quivering [lines swept
across her brow as she leaned for out of
the window, and glanced with anew
strange light in her roving eye over the
quiet landscape. Everything was the
same as it had been throughout her brief
life ; the birds sang the self-same matin,
the trees hummed their old, soothing
monotone, but in her heart tliere was a
quickened pulse and throb that invested

Fiuisr.n v.—Never forsake a friend.
When enemies gather around, when sick
ness falls upon the heart, when all the
world is dark a id chcerles.s, is the time
to try true friendship. The heart that
has been ton.fue l with true gold will re
double its efforts when the friend is sad
and in trouble. Adversity tries true
friendship.—They who run from the
scenes of distress betray their hypocrisy
and prove that interest only moves
them. If you have a friend that loves
you, who has studied your interest and
happiness, be sure to sustain him in ad
versity. I.et him feel that his former
kindness is appreciated, and that his
love was not thrown away.—lleal fi lel
ity may be rare, but it exists in the
heart, Who lias not seen and felt its
[lower? They who deny its worth and
power have never loved a friend or nev
er labored to make a IVien 1 happy. The
good an 1 the kind, the affectionate and
the virtuous, see an 1 led the heavenly
principle. They would sacrifice wealth
and all hut honor to promote the happi
ness of others, and' in their turn they
would he re war le, 1 for their love by sym
pathizing hearts an 1 doubled favors
when thoy have been brought low by

HAIR AS AN INDEX OF CIIA TR
ACTER.
Coarse black hair and dark skin sig
nify groat ppwer of character, with a
tendency to sensuality. Fine black
hair and dark skin indicate strength of
character alone with purity and good
ness. Stiff, straight bl.wk hair aid
beard indicate a coarse, strong, rigid,
straight-forward character. Fine, dark
brown, hair signifies the combination of
exquisite sensibilities with great
strength of character. Flat, clinging
straight hair, a melancholy but extreme
ly constant character. Harsh, tv wight
hair, is tlie sign of a reticent ami sour
spirit. Coarse red hair in iieatcs pow
erful animal passions, with a corres
pondent strength of character. Au
burn hair with florid countenance, de
notes the highest order of sentiment and
intensity of feeling and purity,
with high capacity for enjoyment or
fering. Straight, even smooth and glossy
hair denotes strength, harmony, and
hearty affections, a clear head of supe
rior talents. Fine, silky, supple liair is
the mark of a delicate, sensitive temper
ament, and spsaks in favor of the own
er. Crisp curly hair indicates a hasty,
somewhat impetuous and rash charac
ter White hair denotes a lymphicat
anl indolent constitution; anl w:
may a Id that besides all these qualities,
there arc chemical properties residing in
the coloring matter of the hair-tube
which undoubtedly have some effect
■upon the disposition. Red haired peo
ple are notoriously passionate, and now
red hair is proved by analysis to con
tain a large amount of sulpher, while
every black hair is colored with almost
pure carbon. The presence of those
matters in the blood points to peculiar
ities of temperament and feeling which
are almost u liversallv associated with
them,
