What Is Man!
This little life-boat of earth with its
noisy crew of mankind, and all their
troubled history, will one day have van
ished—faded like a cloud-speck from the
. azure of the sky. What, then, is man?
*He endures but for an hour, and is
crushed before the moth. Yet in the
beginning and in the working of a faith
ful man is there already (as all faith
from the beginning gives assurance) a
something that pertains not unto this
death element of time; that triumphs
over time, and is, and will be, when
time shall be no more.

Joan of Arc.
It has been strongly doubted whether
Joan of Arc ever suffered the punish
rneiit that has made her amartyr, though
details of her execution and last mo
ments grace the civic records of Rouen.
Several books have been published dis
missing the question. A Belgian lawyer
Is the author of one of these. He con
tends that the historians—who have
lone nothing but copy each other in the
narratives of her death—err exceedingly
u saying that it took place on the last
Ray of May, 1473, the fact being that
she was alive and well many years after
Hi at date. Thfre are good grounds, too,
for believing that tho pretty story of
Abelard and Hi loise is a pure fiction.

TUB SPINNER.
Tv o sat down is tho morning tims,
One to sing and one to spin;
All tha men listened to the song sublime,
But no” ne listened to the duU wheel’s di
The singer she sat in a pleasant nook,
And sang of a life that was fair and sweet ;
While the spinner sat with a steadfast look,
Busily plying her hands and feet
Hie singer sang on with a rose in her hair,
And all men listened to her sweet tone;
A nd the spinner spun on with a dull despair
Down in her heart as she sat alone
But lo! on tho morrow no one said
Aught of the singer, of what she sang;
Men were Raying, “ Behold tliia thread 1 ”
And loud the praise of the spinnor rang.
The world has forgotten the singer’s name —
Her ros£ is faded, her songs are old;
But far o’er the ocean the spinner’s fame
is emblazoned in bnes of gold.
TOO MODEST.
The Americans are an inartistic people, but
Italy will one day take art to America. That
will help America to bo artistic.— Signor 0., in
an Italian journal.
Oh ! indeed, you are only too modest,
Signor. Italy has done it already. Mod
ern Italy is doing her very best for us
now. Why, were you at this window,
Signor, you would confess that in all
America wo could not get up a family
party like that one on the other side of
the street. We haven’t native talent for
it. It comes direct from Italy.
There is the Signora, a stout woman,
with fine breadth, of shoulder, a yellow
handkerchief on her lianusome black
head, and a calm and happy expression
of countenance, thumbing a tambourine.
Now she pauses, grows in a moment di
vinely sad, and leisurely walks within
tlirowing distance of the windows in the
row; holding the tambourine like a bas
ket, and waits for the small coin of the
charitable.
Meanwhile the head of the family, tho
Signor, hitches along with an organ,
grinding out popular airs, and casting at
the windows whence no pennies drop
glances that make one believe in tho
evil cyo.
If the Signor were an inartistio Amer
ican, ho might plod behind a wheelbar
iO, out* Ijeliikt. an ....i i.v.vv.L. e -
the Signora, with her inches and evident
good health, would thumb scrubbing--
brush and broom-handle, but not a tam
bourine. It takes artistic Italy for that.
Up at the corner stands Fabri Ven
turi with a wagon-load of cripples, whom
his poetical soul causes him to represent
as his “afflicted family, tho victims of
an eruption of Vesuvius.” If Fabri
were John Smith, not only would it
never have occurred to him to dis
play these horrors and make a little
profit on the afflictions of Iris family,
but if they were actually his relatives,
he would work for their bread. Ho would
feel it “ kind a mean ” to put them on ;
comer in a wagon, and would not ex
pect public patronage if ho did.
Italy is a great help to us in tho artis
tic Avay. It brings u3 charming creat
ures who bestow titles on themselves on
the voyage, and are known forever after
as Counts and Princes. It also, doubt
less, sends us brigands enough to ac
count for the mysterious disappearance
of some of onr respectable citizens, who
leave home with money in their pockets
and are never seen again. It brings us
poor little boys who scrape small fiddles
upside down, and wrinkled thieves of
padrones who bent and starve them.
Italy is teaching us. In time, it may
be that Americans will pay their passage
across the ocean, with the intention of
sitting ever after on Italy’s church steps
to beg. At present they could not pose
gracefully enough. They have honest
stiff backs and honest bony hands that
do not take curved shape and begging
attitude well. —Mary Kyle Dallas, in
New York Ledger.
A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
The curious mistake which has been
made in the burial of Rubenstein re
sembles an- incident in a French novel,'
which, not content with portraying the
misfortunes of its hero during life,
represents him as pursued by adverse
destiny even after Jdeatli. M. Ruben
stein died in Paris about the same time'
as a Russian Baroness. Their bodies—
so the story goes—were sent to Russia by
the same train. At Berlin the coffins
were accidentally changed, with the re
sult that, while Rubens tern was quietly
•interred at Riga, the body of the un
known Russian Baroness was committed
to the earth with all the pomp and cir
oumstanoe of a public funeral at Mos
cow. Tha report may be the invention
of an unscrupulous French wit, but the
mistake was one which, if the coffins
were not opened, might easily occur.—

OED-TIMB CABly-PLAYEHS.
In the early history of Lafayette card
playing was more than an amusement—
with a good many it was “business.”
The founder of Lafayette, “Old” Dig
by, was for many years the most noted
card-player on the Wabash. There are
.many anecdotes of him that have been
handed down and are worth preserving.
If the old settlers are to be believed,
“Old Dig” and the late Judge Pettit
had many a lively tussle at the card
table. On one occasion the two sat
down early in the forenoon at their fa
vorite game of “ old sledge,” iss a game.
About 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when
Pettit was about S7O winner, he an
nounced to Digby that he must quit.
“What are you going to quit for?”
inquired Digby.
‘ 4 l want to go and take care of my
horse,” replied Pettit.
In those days every lawyer kept a
horse to ride tho circuit.
“I can go without my dinner,” the
Judge continued, “but I’m not going
to abuse ray horse just to accommodate
you at this game.”
Pettit retired with Digby’s S7O iu his
pocket. The next morning, bright and
early, they were at it again. Digby had
a big streak of luck, and, before 12
o’clock, had bagged $l2O of Pettit’s
money. Raking from tho table the last
$lO put up, he announced to Pettit that
he was going to quit.
“What are you going to quit for ?’>
inquired Pettit.
“ Why, I must go and feed my hefirse,
John.”
“Why, you,” replied Pettit,
“ you haven’t got any horse 1 ”
“Well, John, if I haven’t got any
horse,” slapping his hand on his breeches
pocket, “I’ve got the money to buy
one! ”
The game was closed. who
was a bachelor, had a small, one-story
frame houso put up on Main street,
close to where tho canal now is, as an
office a3: 1 sleeping appartment. After

vajs soon exhausted, and Pjßft declared
thfc game closed. Digby proposed one
more game, staking hi3 new house
against a sum of money. The
game wa3 played and Pettit was the
winner. The next morning h 6 made a
bargain with a house-mover to remove
the house to a lot d on the south
side of Main street, a lit tie of the
public square. The woc<: n wheels were
put under, and%ru the ; ternoon it was
started up Ma! "f reot wi.h a long team
of oxen before it, and at dark had just
reached the public square. That night
Digby and Pettit had another game,
apd in the morning there wa3 a readjust
ment of the wheels, and the house was
started on its return toward tho river. It
reached its proper place in the street,
and was left to be put back in its old po
sition on the morrow. But the next
morning it was started up town again.
The next day it took the other diroction,
and by this timo the whole town came to
understand it. Finally it remained in
the public square over Sunday, and on
Monday continued its vay up Main
■treet and was wheeled on Pettit’s lot.
He soon moved his books into it and for
many years occupied it as a law office.—

THE 1 BADE IN NUTS.
It would surprise many people not
engaged in trade to know what a variety
of commodities that appear valueless
arc important articles of commerce. To
the average boy and girl there is scarcely
anything of so little worth—except to
afford a day’s fun -as nuts, and yet hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are annu
ally invested in them.
During the recent years the trade in
foreign anddomestie nuts has developed
wonderfully. New York city has be
come the most important canter of the
trade, the extent of whioh indicates that
people have either secured patent stom
achs, or that indigestion ha* lost its ter
rors. Wholesale dealers in nuts can now
as certainly count on a profitable trade
in the winter season as cmj| candy-mak
ers at Christmas times—and *all the
bov£ and girls know how certain that is.
jftrica used to supply us with pea
nuts, sending them by ship-loads, but
our Southern States have so successfully
cultivated this popular nut that we are
now independent. The States that fur
j-.itb K*!k of the supply, ore Vir
inia, Nor, Ii Carolina and Tennessee.
During the present season the crop of
Virginia was 1,100,000 bushels; of Ten
nessee, 550,000 bushels; and of North
Carolina 120,000 bushel*.
The nut probably most popular after
tho peanut is tho pecan. The Texas
pecan is especially in demand. While a
few years ago several barrels of pecans
supplied the demand abundantly, car
loads and invoices of lOOor 200 barrels are
not uncommon at this time.
Of the other nuts the hickory is the
most yopular. While, in many localities,
especially in the Eastern States, they are
becoming scarce, they are sufficiently
plentiful in the Western States to ship
to New York half a dozen car-loads a
week when demanded.
That delicious nut, the chestnut, is
Incoming less plentiful every year, and
there is much difficulty in obtaining them
sound in large quantities. Their great
popularity will probably prevent their
total disappearance, for thoy are already
being successfully cultivated, and it is
expected that in a few years the cul
tivated nut will be equal in quality to
the high-priced Italian chestnuts.
Black walnuts and are re
garded as too rich and oily fort.iblo use,
The American hazel nuts are not im
portant article of commerce, tho filbert
largely taking their place. Only a few
English hazel nuts find their way to the
American market. It is stated that
growers in California contemplate intro
ducing a number of varieties of nuts
native to Spain and Italy.
