A tWrlsai WeWtss lii the gardens of a restuarant at Berlin, a sun-burnt Herman ami his Japanese wife make their aptearance every evening. The wife was lirought from Japan by Iter hu*band. It is an understood thing that future honor* await tills man, for lie is chosen as soe retary to the l.orxl of Richthofeii. l*rince Hisruark possesses an only daughter, betietheiyd Kichthofen, who is to proceed as Herman Ambassador to the Court of Japan, and lie must take a secretary who understands the Jap anese language; selection there is none aud only one man can lw found to till the situation. How hipiiert la-came possessed of his Japanese treasure was related by himself when iti a jovial frame of tniud only a few days since. In INTO, Kippert was serving as stcw arvi's mate on board the Ariadne, a Prussian man-of-war. Suddenly, tin news arrived that France had declared war against Germany. The French pronounced the Ariadne to be in block ade, and she was closely watched by hcr formidable enemies, who outnum bered her bv three to one. At that time, llerr Von Brandt was the Prus sian Ambassador at Jeddo, and bis sec retary was suddenly taken ill, so Brandt sent to ask the Captain of the Ariadne if he could spare him one from amongst his crew who was capable of acting as his secretary. The Captain selected the Stewart's mate, Kippert, aud he was solemnly installed as Secretary to the Embassy, "But my dear fellow," said Herr Von Brandt, "you must marry ; we want aw oman to act as housekeeper, kippert inquired of the ambassador where he could find a wife. Herr Von Brandt called his Japanese servant who understood a little Herman, and said to him, "Jack, here are ten dollars; sad dle two horses, aud ride to the village with Kippert, and buy him a wife there." An hour later, Kippert and Jack trotted gaily forth, aud arriving shortly before sunset at the village which contained a number of huts. Be fore these huts were large tanks of water, in which the women and girls of the place paddled about, arrayed in the primitive dress of our mother ETC. Kippert proceeded along at a foot's pace; he looked through his glasses, taking ocular inspection as he passed. When he hail made his choice he pointed out to Jack the lady of his se lection. The servant rode up to the hut o( the father of the young lady and l>egged him to come out of doors and talk to him. He stated the object of his visit, and the father demanded twenty dollars for his daughter, but subse quently accepted five. Jack turned his horse and trotted back to Kippert. The father made a sign to his daughter. She jumped joyfully out of the tank and ran forward to Kippert,s horse, which she prepared to follow with much alac rity and signs of great delight. Kip pert got down from his horse to make a bow to the lady, and at the sam- time he slipped a sack that he had aiready over her head. He had previously cut three holes in the sack for the h-ad and arms; thus adorned, in due deference to European customs, they proceeded on their journey. Jessa, as Herr Von Brandt called her, learnt with great ease to clean the rooms, to make the beds, and to wash up the cups and saucers. Her husband made her two dresses with his own clever fingers, in which she seemed most proud to walk about. When the time arrived that Kippert was able to return to Germany with Herr Von Brandt, he wished to send Jessa twek to her father, but she flung herself at his feet, weeping vio lently, and entreating not to be left be hind ; so he decided ou taking her with him. He had been legally married to Jessa, who has been christened, receiv ing the name of Marv; and the pretty Japanese now speaks German anil move* in society as if she had been educated in a first-rate boarding school. Magalßceat Balls. Although rhetorician* hesitate a little to denominate the "bull" a figure of speech, yet the frequency with which it occurs, the dauger which everyone is under of perpetrating one, anil the cousinship it sustains to hyperbole, all combine to give it a half assured posi tion in the list of figures. Coleridge defines a "bull" thus: "It is a mental juxtaposition of Incongruous ideas, with the sensation, but without the reality, of connection." Jerrold's tipsy ser vant, after long fumbling at the door with his key, finally declared that some scoundrel had stolen the key-hole, a drunken notion which approached the nature of a bull. The hull is not con fined to the Irish. Many of the best come down from Greece and Koine. It was a Greek who heard that a goose lived 200 years, and bought one to see, who shut his eyes and looked la the glass to see what sort of a corpse tie would make; and who, having a houae for sale, carried round a brick as a spe cimen. But the Irish have acquired a reputation for "bulls," and roust keep it. It is suggested that the Irishman speaks a foreign language, and so is not so accurate as an Englishman ; but this does not account for the odd mistakes sometimes made by those Irishman w ho never knew a word of Celtic. Perhaps, after all, the best explanation Is that offered by an Irishman: "Sure it must be In the climate. If an Englishman was born in Ireland, he would make just as many." This piece of uninten tional richness was good, but not quite so racy as the conduct of a Dublin mob, who had a spite against a banker, and tried to ruin him burning £20,000 of his bank's notes. A rarer list is given, comprising, among others, the Irishman who stole chocolate, aud he and "his ould 'omau made tay of it;" the waiter and the restaurant guest: "Tay or coffee, sir?" "Tay." "Got no tay;" he who played at cards, and, inspecting the pool, missed a shilling. "Here B a shilling short! Who put it iui"' and the two prominent members of the Irish bar, one of whom knocked the other down, and told hhn he would make him be have like a gentleman; but the other, rising with Irish valor; "I defy you, sir? no, sir, you could uot do it." Neither are the lovers forgotten. "I will never speak to you more," said he with extreme vexation. "Keep vour spake toyourself, then," said she, "I am sure I can live without it, or your company." "I'm sure so can I, then," was the wrathful rejoinder. Trie "poor fellow whose eyes "hadn't gene to gether the whole night for thinking of liis darling," and lie "could not sleep at night for dreaming of her," keeps company with him who desired an affectionate duughter to marry liiui, and see if lie did not "beat her mother and with him who wanted a meeting contrived with his inamorata when neither of them "knew the other was present." The lllliernian paterfamilias is also displayed who wanted the chil dren kept in the nut aery while he was at home, although he "would not object to their noise If they would onlv keep ! quiet;" in company with the Wggar ' woman, who was the mother of "six small children and a sick husband." | This worthy lady was probably a near relative of Iter whose son Itill "just made tw o chairs and a fiddle otti of his • own head, and had plenty of wood lefl for another." Here are also tin- physi cian w ho, lu a case of infanticide, could not determine "w helher the chiltl was alive at the tluie of Its death or not : and the woman who fell into a well and j was thankful to "Providence and an ! other woman" for assistance in getting ; ! out.

It is wet with pure water, carefully freed from all foreign substances, beaten and worked to a projw-r state of firmness, and is then ready to take the shape of the ideal formed in the artist's mind. With the simplest tools orhotnc man ufacture, made of ivory or bone or box wood or rubber or cedar, of with his bare fingers, the arti-t fashions the plastic material, aiul touches and re touches it a thousand times, until the image before him is the counterpart of that in his mind's eye. Sometimes he works all day on the corner of a mouth to get it just right, and then puts the mcdel away di-.-atistied. but taker- it out again and continues his laltor till, at last, some happy touch makes the w hole complete. Very careful is he to keep the clay moist, and for this he sprinkles It through a fine hose with water, and covers it in Intervals of labor w Ith a rubber cloth, that its plas ticity be in no wise diminished. N hether the figure be finally draped or not, it is modeled uaked, so that severity and truth of form, u|*) which the excellence of sculpture so much de pends, may be made perfectly sure. The other day we stood beside the modeling stand of an artist whose in imitable groups are familiar to every cultlvatcueye in the land, and watched . his skilful baud as it worked the veins ' Into an oak leaf. "My talent is patience said he; "I never weary of working at my model till it suite me. The fault w itli novices in the art is that they ex pect fine results too soon; they do not keep their clay moirt enough, and they are not patient." Modelers in clay are we all. The tools with which we work are simple enough; they are the duties, the pleas ures, the crosses, the burdens of life, made to our hand, waiting to be used. The ideal to be wrought out must be in each individual heart. Hy education, ( by discipline, by correction, fault- must be removed from the character, which is the plastic material on which we work. The drapery is the body. If the shape beneatti is perfect, the dra pery will be easily adjusted to it, for as Spencer says, "Soul is form ami doth the body make." Patience must pre side from the tieginuing, middle, and end of the work. The clay must be kept over more plastic with the love of truth and purity. Nothing will harden it so quickly as vice and prejudice. And we must work till our life's end on the corners of the mouth, on the lines about the eyes, on the curves of the brow, on the pose of the head, till the Mater appear ami pronounce the "Well done. That his eye may ap prove, the form beneath all the drapery must be modeled in the severe and naked simplicity of Truth and Virtue. To many of us Is given the modeling of characters other than our own. It I is in our power by judicious training, by the power of love, by the inspiring influence of example, to work out nat ural defects in the clay, and to impress on it images of beauty; to fashion it in . fair and graceful outlines, and make of it a vessel unto honor. "Like clay in the hands of the potter" are the hearts of our children in ours, and we are, i whether we are conscious of it or not, i molding their destinies. What skill, what wisdom, and above all, what : patience we need! I ~, Ready Money. Keep ready money on hand if you I can.

DESTROYING WKKPS. —Anybody who lias taken the trouble to observe the tendency of weeds to spring up imme diately after a shower, lias also ol served the fact that If the ground is loose after a rain no weed* will appear. Thl* is due mainly to two causes. First, weedseeds, as a rule, are very small, consequently they will germinate only in ground somewhat packed. A rain fall will always produce a crust on the soil, and as the seeds are intimately mixed with the ,-ame, the rootlet® get a chance to start. Secondly, the cultiva tion of the soil after a rain exjo*e* a larger surface to the action of th. air, consequently it dries rapidly, ami the seeds obtain no start, or if start .si, dry out and perish. Acting on these es tablished facts, it appears an easy mat ter to destroy noxious weeds by keep ing the soil iiroken.

CABUHE nut STOCK. —We would re peat the communication we have often made, of the value of cabbages a* food for stock. Cabliages are rich in nitro gen, and for making milk or flesh are valuable. In gathering a patch of cab bage* for market, there will always la more or less soft heads, which are un saleable but will answer for stock-feed ing, and where heads are cut off ami sold Instead of being pulled up hy the roots, the leaves make a good feed. It Is very hard work to induce farmers to change their practices, but we think if they would try the ex|>crimcnt of rais ing an acre or two of cabbages for stock breeding they would be so well pleased with the result as to make it a part of their system of farming. When cab bages are high, the larger, firmer heads could be soli], and tile poorer, with the leaves, fed.

I may add that my experiments convinced me that carbolic acid in this bland solution In no way impairs the germinal activ ity of the tuber; but, byway of cer tainty. let me recommend to your far mer readers to first try the experiment on a few hills next spring, and If suc cessful, to adopt it as a remedy for the blight."

Then, after the crystals are cut in proper shape, they are put into a galvanic battery, which coats them over with a liquid, that is made of diamonds which are too small to IK- cut and the chip pings and cuttings that arc taken off of diamonds during the process of shaping them. Thus all of the small particles of diamonds that have here tofore lieen comparatively worthless, can now. since this great discovery, be used to produce diamond liquid. ~ Sofl and pliable woods, such as pine, willow, alder, etc. f require the use of targe saw teeth with acute points and considerable pitch; whereas hard woods or those of a tougher and denser consistence, snch as oak, mahogany, roacwiMxl. etc., necessitate the adoption of teeth of perpendicular pitch and di minished space. Yellow deal, pitch pine, larch, etc., are of so gummy and resinous a character that the teeth not only require more set, but the blades themselves have to be smeared with grease to keep them cool, and to de crease the friction arising from the ad herence of resin during motion. Sim ilar results are eiperiencxi in working soft woods ; the teeth liecome choked by the damp consolidated sawdust, and obstinately refuse to perform their dtitv without extra force. Illuminating Gat from fori.—To the list of sutistauces capable of furnishing illuminating gas of good quality, cork is now to W added. Recent experi ments. made in Bordeaux, France, liava given results I Kith economical and satisfactory, and it has been definitely decided to use tlie material 111 the lighting of the city. Works for burn ing cork are now in process of con struction. The fragment* of cork, principally waste left after rutting Ixittle stoppers, are distilled in a close retort. 'I be flame obtained is stated to tie whiter and more brilliant than that of coal gas. while the blue rone is much smaller, and the density consid erably greater. Precaution* Again*! Isae applied Ixiiling hot. and left in the pi|>ea for about a quar ter of an hour. As sulphuret of lead is insoluble in rain or spring wAter, it forms a safe coating ; a strong proof of thia is that spring or well water per colating through mines of sulphuret of lead never contain traces of the latter metal. When water contains lean it may, according to Dr. Kirtsing, be re moved by filtration, especially when the Alter is of charcoal. A Gigantic Ice- Houte.— There is a gigantic ice-house in Brussels, Belgi um. whose roof covers an area of six teen hundred square metres. The walls are double and (Hied in with moss and sawdust. There are nine separate ice-chambers, each of one thousand cubic metres capu< ity. The temperature never exceeds fltij degrees Fahrenheit. There are galleries set apart for the storing of meat in hot weather, capable of hanging two thou sand quarters, and having them iter feetly isolated. A million tons or ice have been attired iu the building at one time. A Frenchman named I'atrian, who styles himself "contractor for public lighting," has a factory and warehouse for the making and selling of oxygen, which is kept stored in metallic reser voirs under a heavy pressure, and de livered to customers for such purposes as the light ing of theatres ami dining halls, blow-pipe use, inhalation and ventilation, and air baths. After tiling a saw, place it on a level bourd and pass a whetstone over the side of the teeth until all the the wire edge is off them. This will make the saw cut true nnd smooth, and it will remain sharp longer. The saw must be set true with a saw set. The horse power of waterfalls Is found by multiplying the number of pounds of water which fall per minute by the length of the fall in feet, and dividing the product by 3d,000. Three times the weight in pounds per fathom equals the working load in hundred weights of good hempen rope. IVIOIOtIt AN K* < avian MOON.

Another string was hurriedly rigged on tlie pulley, and the moon !*•- gau to rise properly; but Brown's nerves were so unstrung by fright that he Collldll'l hold tlie caudle steadily be hind it, so that there were fifteen or twenty eclipses during the ascent, the light meanwhile wandering all over tlie curtain, to the infinite amusement of the audience. However, the luminary got safely up at last, and tlie tragedian again observed : "Swear by you bright Uloolt;" but I a*fore the words were fairly out tlie cord snapped again, the curtain unrolled with velocity, and broke loose from the roller, revealing Brown, tlie lunar elevator, roaming around In bis shirt aleevea with a caudle on a stick. A inomenl later tlie manager was fumbling among bis hair, and that very night Mr. Brown closed Ids thea trical career. The manager remarked to a confidential friend that w Idle a man who was able of making tlie same moon rise three times in one night, aud of getting any ntnuler of eclljises and other astronomical phenomena, might be valuable for some purposes, be was alNiiit as fit for a theater as a wall eyed ■mile w as for singing hymns.

For this last amount the Hank paid the value, making a deduction for the deficiency of weight, which is generally about 3*l. or 4d. per light sovereign. It was stated to the committer Uiat boxes of eorrectly w eiglied gold, sent by tlie Bank of Eng land to Scotland, frequently came hack without having been opened, and Mr. Palmer stated that there is then some reductiou for light w eight, lie ex plained tills by adding that tlie mere shaking of the sovereign* on the journey will make a slight difference.

After this rather alarming announcement It I* satisfactory to find Mr. lioihraon stating also that the ( barge for flghl weight on the eight deficient sovereigns would be about 2d. per coin, making only 16*1. on the box of £5,000; so that •ays he, "it really amounts to nothing." —LumUm Times.

The reason is, the richer man has artificial want*. His Income is ten thousand, and he suffers enough, from being dunned for unpaid debts, to kill a sensitive man. A man who earns a dollar a day and does not run In debt, is the happier of the two. Very few people who have never been rich will believe this; but it is as true a* God's Word.
