You may de pend upon it that Cleopatra not only sympathized with Antony, but had ideas and views of her own which greatly interested and attracted him. And so with the great ladies in France who ruled certain sections of society. You may take it for granted that they were women who looked up to themselves.

Really, materialism is the foundation of their creed, and a hard, narrow selfishness is its primary principle. Its proposed reforms in social economy are all based upon these. Here is a brief exposition of the belief: “ Man is the That's awkward, isn’t it ? Do you know a very rich man once made his riches all from crusts—only crusts ?

The Signor had amassed a for tune, and retired from professional labors; hut his income having dwindled considerably, he again summons the fleas to his rescue, and throws open his singular menagerie to the New York public. His acting troupe consists of two hundred fe male fleas (the male fleas are utterly intractable), and their performance is perfectly wonderful. The performance begins by a passage at arms pastry cook’s shop, and lie had seen what we call between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, two raspings used, so he took it into his head to pick up crusts and dry them in his master’s oven, and grate and pound them; and his master, who was a very kind man, bought them from him, and in time he was well enough off to set up for himself, and this was all his trade—to send from house to house to buy waste crusts, dry, grate and pound them, and sell them to pastry cooks; hide its bad color, all made out of bits! Just hits of ribbon, and velvet, and silk, and wool, and cloth; the tiniest bits of all sorts and colors sewn tastefully and neatly with colored silk in patterns, on a strip of plain blue and white bed ticking ; and when the lady who had made it told me that she never wastes one scrap cf an old ribbon, or anything pretty colored, I thought, 4 You are a very wise woman indeed !’ Depend upon it, ‘Waste not, want not,’ is a very good motto—and notin stuffs only.

A systematic cynicism characterizes this class of progressionists. They regard all tender and gentle emotions as weakness; they look upon spiritual hopes and aspirations as idle and fan ciful; they treat home and its endearments with sneering lightness; the ties of relationship pos sess no sacredness in their eyes; the names of father and mother have no holy charms; the tie of brother and sister is no longer considered | blood-thirsty fleas mounted on tiny paper ' horses.

Other of the little in sects are made to turn minute cranks and hoist lilliputian buckets, hut the chef-d'oeuvre of the entertainment was some two dozen fleas at a ball. At one end of the ball-room was a complete or chestra, each flea holding its peculiar instru ment in readiness for the dance.

When the size of the flea is remembered, the task of handling them at all will be appreciated.

The parent, aye, even the mother, often shows herself devoid of the brute instinct of maternity, and systematically neglects her child, refuses it the sweet food provided by nature, or is filled with such a horror of the cares of raising chil dren (care sweetened by such pure pleasure, such tender hopes and innocent affection), that she resorts to sinful expedients rather than en dure the burden. Another proof of the material spirit among us is the want of reverence for the aged, infirm and afflicted. We see this exemplified daily in minor deeds, and frequently some shocking illustration finds its way into the papers, and sets us shud dering with forebodings concerning the tenden cies of the age, which, while it has seen inaugu rated so many noble, philanthropic enterprises, has also witnessed a formal proposal to put to death all decrepid, crippled, deformed and puny persons, holding that these were useless con sumers—drains upon the care and the finances^ “ I was fain to pass from this point, rich in thought as it is, and much as I wished to dwell on it more; for a low sob caught my ear and di rected my eye to a pale woman in deep, though will be seen that the process of trainim endless one.

The sweetest fellowship comes of mutual, self-sacrificing labors and sufferings. The sweetest sounds are the trembling tones of the martyr spirit. The sweetest homes is where our loved and lost ones are being gathered. Our sweetest, dearest friends are those for whom we have done and suffered most. Our sweetest joys will come of meeting our loved ones where sin and parting will be no more. Our sweetest rest will come from freedom from sin in our own hearts. The sweetest gratitude will flow from the redeemed to the Redeemer. The sweetest song will be of Him who suffered for our sins. The sweetest joys in life are transient and bring not happiness, but the unalloyed, the ever- enduring joys of heaven are sweetest. The sweetest consolation comes of duty performed, and the sweetest plaudit is in the words of Jesus, “Well done thou good and faithful servant, en ter thou into the joys of thy Lord.”—Ex. Rich Without Money.—Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with noth ing in their pockets, and thousands without even a pocket, are rich. A man with a good sound constitution, a good stomach, a good heart and good limbs, and a pretty good headpiece, is rich. Good bones are better than gold; tough muscles than silver; and nerves that flash fire and carry energy to every function are better than houses and land. It is better than a landed estate to have the right kind of a father and mother. Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men as really as among herds and horses. Education may do much to check evil tendencies or to de velop good ones, but it is a great thing to inherit the right proportion of faculties to start with. The man is rich who has a good disposition— who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hope ful, and who has a flavor of wit and fun in his composition. Cooking Schools.—In a good many of our Southern schools (notably in Locquet Institute, New Orleans), cooking is taught as a branch of education. In New York, they are ahead of us, as usual, having established free training schools where already eight thousand women have been trained to honorable labor and furnished with work or supplied with situations. A Kindergar ten school for nurses has been formed where girls are taught how to amuse young children pleasantly and usefully, so as to begin the found ation for their education in the cradle, as it were. These trained nurses command very high wages. The Housekeepers’ Association, which has also been established, bids fair to make a revolution in the present high prices of provisions, by re ducing them twenty-five per cent. * Egypt at the Centennial.—The land of lost arts and dead gods is to he brilliantly represented at the Centennial.
