He must remember that while he is a

children born to him, which he mar
not carelessly let die. He, like every
other man, may properly consider him¬
self as one of the myriad agencies
through whom works the unknown

produces thereby in him a certain belief, he is
authorized to profess and act
out that belief. For, to render, in their

Melancholy.
I once gave a lady two-and-twenty re¬

bright fire; another, to remember all the
pleasant things said to her ; another, to
keep) a box of sugar-plums simmering on the ehirn
ney-piece and a kettle on the
liob. I thought this in was after trifling life at dis¬ the
moment, but have
covered how true it is that these little
pleasures often banish melancholy better
than higher and more exalted objects;
and that no means ought to be thought
too trifling which can oppose it either in
ourselves or others .—Sidney Smith,

New York is imitating California in
her war upon the Chinese, and is object¬
ing strenuously to the low and ignorant
character of Italians who are being
crowded into that city. They come from
the poorest Provinces south of Naples,
and there is often grave suspicion that
they are sent by Italian municipalities
glad to get rid of them. On their arri¬
val the adults of both sexes become
street scavengers, and their children
grow up in filthy cellars or crowded attics,
where decency, morality, and cleanliness
aro utterly out of the question.
With short crops and debts Georgia
farmers are said to be greatly distressed,
so that they cannot plant the usual acre¬
age of cotton. They cannot buy gu ano

the late returns, and are driven to tho

visions. It is thought that the produc¬
tion of small grains this year will be
twice as large as in 1880, and larger than
ever before in the history of the State,
and some say that if the disaster last
year gets the farmers out of their cot¬
ton-planting rut into mixed crop raising,
it will be a real blessing in disguise.

At a social gathering on Austin ave
nue not long since, the subject of bald
heads came up for discussion, audit was
the subject of general mystification that
there are so many more bald-headed men
than there are women. Nobody was
able to give a reasonabla explanation for
this until old Col. Swopes, who is
balder than a watermelon, and haa
buried five wives, spoke up. He said it
was perfectly plain to him whymen liad
less hair on their heads than women.

looking Twenty-three years ago, as I was
out of the window of General
Torieo’s rancho at Cliorillos, ten miles
south of Lima, Peru, there passed-by
several ladies and gentlemen on horse
back. A lady, whom I will call Mrs.
Morena (the Spanish rendering of a
common English name), was one of the
gay cavalcade. She was so beautiful
that I have remembered her face with
the ease with which I am able to re
call the Victoria Regina, or the yellow
convolvulus, or the blue orchid, as when
I first saw these beautiful flowers in
their native lands. I had never spoken
with Nlrs. Morena, nor her husband,
who accompanied her, and who was
then on his way to Tania, from the
United States, to get healed of consump
tion.
Three years ago, as one morning I lay
musing in mv bunk, in a Ouuard steamer
crossing the'Atlantic, in full daylight,
and having my eyes wide open, Mrs.
Morena came into my cabin, and to my
sorrow went out of it as quickly as she
came in. Thereupon I rose, bathed,
dressed, and went up to breakfast. It
was late; the saloon was nearly de
serted, and I found only two follow
passengers, talking together and eating
ham and eggs. I had never seen either.
The common name of Morena was men
tioned between tho two, and I being full j ,
of my vision, remarked at a venture to
him who sat next to me, " Mrs. Morena
is more plump than slio was twenty
vearsago.” My neighbor turned onmo ,
a quiet look of inquiring surprise. Put- 1
ting his hand in the breast-pocket of his
coat, he drew out one of those excellent
photographs for which some American
photographers “l/ tLt are so celebrated.

The Great Coude.
The Great Conde, as Louis II. do
Bourbon was called, was born in tho
Castle of Vincennes, September 8, 1G21.
He early displayed his ability as a mili¬
tary leader, and when only twenty-two
years of age was placed in command of
the French army in Flanders. At Rocroy,
in May, 1G43, lie defeated the Spaniards,
and the next year forced General Mercy,
the Bavarian, to retreat after three days
of fighting, and again in 1G45, he met
Mercy at Nordliugen, and engaged in a
terrible conflict, iu which Mercy wounded, was
killed, but and Coude himself was In

July 2 of the same year, under the walls
of Paris, and would have been entirely
defeated but for the assistance given by
friends within the city. Those who had
