Conway, in his lecture on the devil: “ She was a cold, passionless, splendid beauty, with wondrous She was created Adam's equal in every're spect; and, therefore properly enough, re fused to obey him. For this she was driven from the garden of Eden, and Eve I was created—made to order, so to speak— of one of Adam's ribs. Then the golden haired Lilith—jealous, enraged, pining for : her first home in Paradise—entered in the form of a serpent, crept into the garden of Eden, and tempted Adam and Eve to their destruction. And, from that day to this, Lilith, a cold, passionless beauty, with golden hair, has roamed up and down the earth, snaring the sons of Adam, and de stroying them. You may always know her dead victims, for. whenever a man has been destroyed by the hands of Lilith, you will always find a single golden hair wrap ped tight around his lifeless heart. To this day many and many a son of Adam is lured to death and ruin from having the golden hair of a woman wrapped too tight around his heart.” Recret*. Leigh Hunt. We must regard every matter as an en trusted secr*'., which we believe the person concerned would wish to he considered as such. Nay, further still, we must consider all circumstances as secrets intrusted, which would bring scandal upon another if told, and which it is not our certain duty to discuss, and that in our own persons and to his face. The divine rule of doing as we would he done by, is never better put to the test than in matters of good and evil speaking. Wc may sophisticate with ourselves upon the manner in which we would wish to be treated, under many cir cumstances ; but everybody recoils in stinctively from the thought of being spoken ill of in his absence. The lirowtli of Nhad. According to Mr. Green, the well known pisciculturist of New York, shad do not at tain their full growth sooner than at the age of three or four rears. These views are formed from the examination and com parison of the young shad hatched out in artificial breeding troughs and those caught in the Hudson. Young shad hatched out are at the age of six weeks only one and one-quarter inches long, and not larger round than an ordinary sized darning nee dle, while in the month of June shad five inches long are caught in the Hudson. The theory is advanced that the five-inch shad is one year old, and, having remained in the river, or near its mouth, during the first twelve months, comes up the river with the old shad in the spring. A Perfect Horse. One who is considered as authority in horse matters states that a perfect horse is one about fifteen and a half or sixteen hands high; a lengthy arched neck; sharp point ed ears; a large, full hazel eye. broad be tween them; not too long a face, but a straight one. a large, open nostril, a strong under jaw to masticate his food well, a good round body, a full chest, large around the girth, denoting plcnt3 r of lung power, thin withers, and an animal standing erect on his fore legs. Such animals it should Vie the object of breeders to produce, and this requires both judgment and care. Fcodiiijr Fowls. In France, where poultry breeding, feed ing, and fattening has been reduced to a science, they feed very little whole grain. Avery popular feed is one half bran and one half buckwheat, barley, or oatmeal made into a stiff paste, and to old and | young alike twice a day. They claim that this feed is less expensive, and promotes | laying. Whole grain, however, will pro duce fat. when fed abundantly, but it also produces disease, by impairing digestion. Items of Inlcresl. A Piedmontese and a Neapolitan were discussing the relative charms of their coun tries. “ Naples !” said the former, “ Na ples is the dirtiest city in the universe. You can’t set foot on its streets without getting ankle deep in filth." “ Well, but look at our sky—that carpet of the gods —so beautiful, so eternally blue.” “ Yes. that carpet of the gods is passably clean. T admit, but that is only because you can’t spit on it.” Alexander Stephens sat up in his bed this afternoon with the bright clear eves of a convalescent, and listened while his clerk read a column and a half obituary of himself in a Baltimore paper. “Well,” said the old man. as he rubbed his emaci ated chin with his bony hand, and his eyes twinkled merrily as he spoke : They’ve written worse than that about me when i was living.” —Philadelphia Times.
