Across the desert's sandy sea Though sorely battered brows I rear, Btill with my stony eyes I sec, . Still with my stony ears I hear. Tnoueands of years this resting place Betwixt the Pyramids I hold, And still their daily shadow trace, Broadening o'er me, blue and Cold. And many wonders have I known, And many a race and rule of men, 8ince first upon the desert's zone I fixed my calm, unwinking ken. 'Neath these same orbs that still revolve Above my gianite brows sedate, 1 forged the riddles, which to solve Was fame, wherein to fall was fate. But dnrker riddle never yet I framed for Uulibus the wise, Than those that to the world I set, Touching those things before my eyes. What of this piercing of the sands? What of this union of the seas? This grasp of unfamiliar hands, This blending of strange litaulcs? Avcs and Allah-hu's that flow From ulomas and mongiguors These fcridjees and robes-fourreau, These eunuchs aud ambassadors- This pot-pourri of East and AVest, rillau and potagea la bisque; Circassian belles whom Worth has drest, And Parisicnncs a Vodalisqiw! Riddles that need no Sphinx to put, But more than (Kdipus to read What good or ill from Lesscps' cut Eastward and Westward shall proceed? Whose Iohs or profit ? War or peace ? 8orcs healed, or old wounds oped anew ? Upon the loosing of the seas, Strife's bitter waters let loose too ? The Eastern question raised, at last ? The Eastern question laid for aye ? Russian ambition fettered fast ? Or feathered but for freer play ? The shattering of the Sultan's throne ? . Or the Khedive's rise, to fall ? England and France, like hawks let llown ? Or A igle on perch and Bull in stall ? Answer in vain the Sphinx Invites; A darkling veil the future hides: We know what seas the work unites, Who knows what sovrelgns it divides ? ETIQUETTE. Low to Begin the Day. Rise with the lark, but not for one. Bo very careful to attire your self neatly; ourselves, like our salads, are always the better for a good dressing. Shave unmis takably before you descend from your room; chins, like oysters, shonld have their beards taken off before being permitted to go down. Start with determination to be agreeable and Rood-tempcred,-and that like an overwhelming fire nothing shall put you out. Should the tea not bo hot, take it coolly; should the ham be salt, emulate the philosophic Bacon, and having made a few pleasant observations about the milk of human kindness, the sugar of domestic feli city, the cup of happiness being full, and the butter resembling an actor In a fresh part because it appears in a new roll, conclude with the appropriate ballad of "LH the Toast Pass," cracking fresh .eggs and stale jokes simulta neously. How to Act Afterwards. It in a country house, after breakfast is a somewhat dull time, and the really amiable person should do his very utmost to enliven the general gloom. Nobody but a brute writes letters. The exception may be made in favor of one letter written to the bore who will send you a batch "to bo forwarded" from town. You may scud him a stinger by all means. Agree to anything proposed by any body. If it's billiards, say you are in cue for it; if it's walking, put your leg foremost; if it's cro quet, throw over all for mallet-y; if it's cricket, stir your stumps; if it's shopping, say "Buy all means;" if it's a ramble in the woods, admit you "are "good i"o:;uUluS-. T , , How to Act at Xucnt:.'?.-Luncne?niIs a Jo"y meal, With (. exception of bi'calnas d,inn,;ri tta, and supper, it is perhaps the jolliest moal of the day. It is breakfast arrived at years of dis cretion; dinner with all the ckirmlng error and heartiness of youth. Never despise luncheon. Eat a good luncheon. It is natural, and is eti quette. Besides, luncheon is a sort of half-way house in the day's journey, and by the time wo Uhed to reach that stage our coach companions and ourselves had generally become quite friendly and pleasant. Always cat pastry at luncheon none but maniacs touch it in the evening. Don't attempt to be clever, save all your small wit for seven o'clock, it looks like the real thing by candle-light. Gas, too, gives a brilliancy to a Brummagen bon-mot, which would Btaud forth as paste pure and simple in the mid-day light of luncheon. A 11 EST A VJiA NT J1ILL ONE HUNDRED YEA US OLD.

Xcnoplion wrote hi famous "Encyclopedia flritnnniea" at fIx ye:ir. old. Humboldt insisted upon remaining in the cradle until ho had finished his "Kofinos," a work of much labor and cxtem-ivc research. Era AnjreUro was still in frocks v. hen he pointed lila most celebrated pictures. The gentleman who invented print ing gave proofs of his future greatness In the nursery; these proofs he subsequently corrected for tho press. What great events spring from small can'C? ! It was an unwearied Pho-nician who first dis covered lire by rubbing two pieces of stick for a fortnight. The discovery hns proved invaluable to many people. Charlemagne Introduced chess into Germany. Pawn tickets were of a later date. The Invention of going to bod when you're tired has been attributed to tho historian Josc phus. But, as Is now believed, erroneously. Apropos of tho above, sleep teas known to the ancients. The Romans as a people were very fond of spectacles. Their emperors used to give them as many as possible. This has been considered a (-hort-slghted policy. Puns were not unknown to tho ancients. Cicero sat up all night with a wet towel round his head making one, and then ho couldn't do It. This was at Christmas time. Thcmistoclss was betrayed by Ills friends, and pcrsccp ted by his enemies. So, altogether, he hadn't a very pleasant time of it. HOW A WISCONSIN WIFE COULDN'T GET "EN NY HILL." A legal correspondent in Wisconsin sends the following verbatim copy of a letter from a client, who desired to prevent hisjwife from gettiug a bill of divorce against him. On its receipt, the correspondent adds, "we abandoned the case, and she couldn't 'get enny bill on this:'" Jfne 19, 1S69: Mr steel I heard my wife came to you for a bill of divore jou probly herd her story and I wll! tell you mine aud I will tell you tho truth 1 liacrd Id did not piovide tinir to cat god noes 1 hade nun" oi flower pork potatoes and made ower ore barrll buter and ulway had lumpy lii the lions I got her tea shoger dried ;n nt 1 ul ways thought good deal of her and 1 would get evry thing 1 cold to please her I hi-rcl she scdl was las.v if 1 was 1 had null to cat and drink she caut say but what I got close for her she had 4 god dresses when she lert 1 got her fore new pare of shoes whin one year that was last year the ilrst pare 1 pade 8 dollars the se-contS-20 and third S0 and 4 forth 3 dollars this was all got with In one vcar and I was wlliu to get them for her and I got things Just that way for her and I am wllin to do it again fur her 1 though my eyes of her she would get evry thing she ask for If It lade in my power to git Her UiU is Just as true as god In In heaven and 1 cun t sec she can get enny bill on this.

H1STORICA L FA CTS. Art was not unknown to the Greeks. Apclles made a portrait so like somebody that he was obliged to quit the city. Tho celebrated poet Tusso obtained his reputa tion entirely by poems. I mention this as an example of application. What milk is to" tho moderns, it wa, tho tgu perhaps in a less degree, to tho ancient:. Cows were found in Italy as early ns ! A. M. Also in Carthago, introduced by lLt-Milcar. The Greeks were a Martial nation. Martial himself, however, was a Roman. Modern surnames aro in most instances de rived from Greek originals. Jones is evidently Ion. I can't think of any more instances. The uncle of the present Emperor of the French was not the firi4 Napoleon. There were a lot of them before hitn. Think over this if it has never occurred to you before; and don't kt it occur again. Caps were invented early in English history. There were first worn by fools. Tho greatest men are invariably the most simple-minded. It is difficult to mention any one single ease in point. TO A DEE WOli K INC ON A SUNDAY.
