POWERS AND TWO ENGLISH WOXEN.
A good story is told of the scull) ,
tor Posers. One day two English
women entered bis studio in Flor
ence, richly dressed, but uncultivat
ed. The artist wore his working
clothes. The visitors discussed in
loud tones the various objects of art
in the studio, and presently stopped
before the statue called " California."
One of them called out to Mr. Pow
aril, "Come 'ere!" and he immedi
ately obeyed the rude command.
"Do you 'speak }English ?" phe
asked.
"Yes, ma'am."
" What is this statue ? "
"It is called 'California,' madam."
" What has she got in 'er 'and? "
"Thorns, madam, in the hand be
hind the back ; in the otherthe
presents the quartz containing the
tempting metal."
-
"Oh!"
Soon afterward the ill-bred women
paused before the bust of a lady, and
the following comments were utter
ed :
" What an ugly face ! "
" What a mean expression about
the mouth .
" Isn't it 'orrible ? "
" Whose is it ?" asked one of
them, addressing Mr. Powers. I •
That is a portrait of my wife,"
said the artist; tuodeativ.
" Your,wife! " repeated one of the
women, and then nothing abashed,
added, " Who are von ? "
"My name is Powers, madam,"
he answered, very politely.
ThiS discovery evidently discon
certed the impudence even of these
visitors, and they immediately left
the studio. - •

MODERN OBITIOISM.
The Toledo blude thus revels in
the' realms of 'modern "criticism."
The effort illustrated the admirabl.
.adaptation of this noble art to du
cidating prOductiotts of the humblest
character. Readers who. carefully
follow, this master in his analysis
of " Jack and Gill," will readily
perceive what
,a wonderful thing
modern " criticism " is
Jack and Gill up the hill,
To get a pail of wrer
Jack fell down, and broke his crown,
And Gill gismo tumbling after.
The first part of the first foot is
lacking, but that is fully compensat
ed in the next line, which is. hyper
cataleetie : ,
To get—a pail—of teat--er
The er, in this instance, would ex
actly fill the incomplete foot of the
first verse, thus producing a grand
iambic dimeter, and leaving the sec
ond verse a delightful tripody.
The next two ' , :verses display the
same wonderful poetic structure :
Jack cell down—and broke—his crown,
And Gill—camc tomb—ling after.
Observe the pleasing and highly
musical effect produced by the addi
tion of the fractional foot, er:
And Gill—canto tntub—ling art—cr
Let lig' now barn our attention to
what are really the eSsentiarelementt.
of Fetry—the nature of the thought
and the quality of the sentiment.
First, the thought All true poet*
is highly imaginative. This is highly
imaginative. Jack and Gill went up
the bill to get a pail of water. The
poet imagined that they did, and ite
this consists, very largely, its poetry.
Again, Jack didn't fall down and
break his crown, and Gill did n't
come tumbling-after. The-poet sim
ply imagined all this, and hence it is
all the more poetic. Again, this is
an upward flight of imagination ;
Jack and Gill went up the hill. They
also went up to get water, Which
makes - the conception still more
striking. It would have been cote
monplace and matter-of-fact to go
down the hill for water.
Notice that in the next line it is
not the imagination that falls, but
Jack—Jack fell down. Notice, too,
the result.- He did not e bieak the
connection of- the story; he did not
even break the flight of the tweet ,
fancy : he simply broke his crown.
'We may suppose it was - afterward
repaired. We have as good right to
suppose this as the poet had to im
agine it all., And - now the final ca
tastrophe :
And Gill eatae:tunibling after.
This is perfectly harmonious. We
shOuld naturally . have expected it
We may suppose that Gill was lean
ing on Jack, and '; : that, therefore,
wnen Jack fell, - Gill, by necessity,
went tumbling after; or we may sup
pose-that Gill loved jack morethan
we Can tell, anethat, when she saw
him fall and break his crown, in , a . fit .
of sheer desperation, she- tbrew her
self after him. Either hypothesis
would fel y account for the facts, but
I am inclined to accept the latter, it
being the more poetic and more
thoroughly consonant with the pa
theticinatere of the scene.,
Lastly, let us study the sentiment.
dack and Gill went up 'the hill
Here we see that Jack and Gil
were industrious, 'lt requires an
effort to-get up lin , This was pro
bably a long, steel) hill. .4:t any rate
we may suppose it 7 as. If it was, it
would require all the more effort to
go rip it. We have .no evidence thid
Jack and Gill replied. It is not said
!hat they went up the bill tinder
protest..
They appear to have gone
tip cheerfully ; and what a lesson of
cheerful industry is here taught . us !
The ()Meet of their going up the bill
VMS to get a pail of water. What
they wanted to do with the water is
a matter of mere conjecture. I have
sometimes thought that therwanted,
into drink, and have again supposed
they were getting it for a sick com
panion. .
• Either purpose would have been
praiseworthy. It is not stated what
became of the water when they, fell
down. Perhada it is not known.
Possibly, in the general overturn, it
was spilled—but, this would detract
nothing from the honor due to them
for going after it..
The misfortune which overtook
Jack and Gill is singulary impressive.
It shows the uncertainty of all things
earthly. Quietly returning down the
hill,bearing the pail of water and
suspecting no evil, suddenly they fell.
It is not stated that a serpent tempt
ed them. It is not even stated that
they slipped. The record is simply
that they fell.; we can only. imagine
the cause and say to our own hcart4,
What,a Lill I
PICTURES or' DEAL LIFE. - One
more picture! see that
yet old, decrepit man. Life is swift
and fleeting to him. His friends
travel fast, he mulct keep pace with
them. His braius must be active,
his-thoughts must be brilliant ; care
and sh:eplessness and overstrained
nervousness must not restrain him,
Hence the stimulant is resorted to
—wine and brandy, and morphine
must aid--and what is the - result ?
His life of three score and ten- -is
lived in a score and a half. He falls.
His brilliant meteoric light goes out
suddenly in darkness. His friends
would covet' his. sins • with a mantle
of charity. They speak of his splen- .
did genius cut off before its fullness
of days had been lined, of what a no
ble soul his was, of.whit a loss his
death has brought upon the commu
hity„ and upon the world! Vain
habblers! But fin them he would
have been spared. - He had dissolved
the pearls'of faine, , vigor, happine4s,
and even' existence iwthe cup of - a •
brilliant repatationJor them? They,
standing like Mare Antony.% had, en
couraged him in his work of destruc
tion? They ought to retrieve the
curse of humanity instead of the
victim, for , robbing the world of its
genius! .

SWIFT JEISTIOE.
, • ,
A merchant left St. Petersbnrg, to
travel across,Europe. In the couree
of his journey he arrived at Warsaw.
Being forni.hed with a letter , of in
troduction, he repaired to'the house
of one of the chief citizens There, and
was most courteously received. He•
stayed at Warsaw for a week, ariq
his host spared no pains to make the
visit agreeable, and showed him eve=
rything worth , seeing in the „town.
Indeed, the visitor*. vas quite -o Yer.
whelmed by an- amount of kindness
rarely shown to ; any but a friend of
long - standing. .
At lengti t h pleasant visit dre.w
to its close, and after breakfast thti
guest expressed his wishto see some
poor'parts of the town, of which he
had heard. "But," said he, I have
with , me a small box of rest value
That I do not like t isk in such
'places. If it were m. own; - I, should
not be so particular, nt it was in-
rusted to me by - a, friend, who . re-
qnested me to deliver into a person
in another town. It contains dia:
.monds and other valuableh
you do me the great favor of taking
charge of it for the day?" The host,
with his usual urbanity, - willingly
agreed to this, prOposal, and the
Merchant" departed with a„ light
heart on his tour of inspection. I
forga the name, but let us say in
the " Seven Dials," or "Five Pointe'
of - Warsaw. -- •
Next winning, afte r breakfast, ha
•
cordially thanked his kind entertain;-
ers for their zealous hospitality, and
added that, as he was about to del,
part, he would now- i•esiuue his
charge of the box; which had never.
.before quitted his presence since be
had received ititiona its owner.
_The
host and hostesS stared at hirn in
well acted amazement. " \ \ Vhat: box?"
asked the_ host. "I remember no
has—do you, my dear ? farning•tn
his wife. ' -•
. " N o," she said, "I have no recol
lection of any box whatever."
What was it like? "• inquired the
_host ; .t perhaps ,yon left it in yenr
-room."
. But on the merchant persisting
that it was with the hest.himself it
had been left, on turning to his hos=
tess, and trying to - make her recollek:'
the circumstances,' both, (after ap
pealing to each other several times,
a : nd fortifying each other in their de-
nial), became . cold and distant, and
began to hinting that something
!mist have happened to the wer
chant, to induce him to persist in so
strange a delusion. 'As the host
tonclired his' forehead with a 'signifi
cant glance, the poor man remem
bered that he Was in- a strange city. ;
the ground seemed to be slipping
from under his feet ; danger, to him
self loomed in the cl.stance, and he
hastened from the house in
Straight' to the police be went and
stated his case: The offici/1 listened
nverturbecily to the whole story,
Ind then asked :
" You gave up this valuable box to,
an amitiintance of a week's standing
without any witness or, any written
acknowle'dgrnent ?"
"He had been . so very kind - ; a,
man in his position—
" Bah ! you a man of business!
but you have no proof that . the box
belongs to you '
," None whatever—except the - key.
It is loeked,and I have the key—here
it is;" and he produced a small key
from his inner,pocket.,
The official- remained lost in
thought for some tithe, and then
said : ,
" Well, I will do the oily thing I
can for you. The Archduke Coil,
stantiue—the Governor of Poland, iS
a stern, harsh than, but he is known
for hiss vigorous justice; and if he be
lieves your story, he will do liis best
for you. .I.will - take : you to- him at
once." .
- No`tine; was .lost, anal the' iner.. ,
chant soon found himself xn the
archduke's presence and was desired
to relate his story. When it was
concluded the archduke, after fvfew
woments reflection, rang a bell. Au
official appeared.
_" Send - for Al----
tkeacherons host.
It was quickly done, and the arch
duke, without preamble or . question,
said Whe guilty man :
" Sitl- down at that writing-table,
and write as I shall dictate to you.'
The man took his seat and took up
the yen ; the archduke began dicta
ting
" Mydear Wife—all is found ont—
" No" said the man, springing
from his seat, If I won't write that."
" Then you' are guilty," was the
prompt answer. t ,
Puzzled and foiled, he resumed hii
seat and wrote as he was debirCti.
"My dear wife—all is=found out.
Send the box by the bearer.".,
Then he signed it with his name,
by the archduke's order, and a.mes
seuger was dispatched with it. The
messenger found the lady at her toi
let : when she read the missive she
turned ashy pale, trembling violent
ly. Then leaning forward, she drew
the box' hum the recess in her toilet
table, and handed it to the . bearer,
who, swiftly lemming, placed it in
'the hands of the archduke. He im
mediately handed it to the rnerchUnt,
desiring him to unlock it ; : Ithat be
ing done, he asked whether the du
monds were all there. Yea, the box.
had not been-opened ; they were el
actly as the merchant had left them.
Again the archduke rang the bell,
and to the attendant who entered he
said, designating the guilty. man :
" Take him to Siberia ; he ig not
to go to his own home again."

"THE BIBTH OF HEMISTBY.
When ancient, letkrning had almost
died out, and Europe was, intelleettt
aliy, in a 'state of colpplete darkness,
the Arabians were the most cultitrat-
edlpeople in the world. It is• to . Ara
bill-that we must look for the. origin
of several sciences which we are wont
to attribute to Othdr nations. The
Aialsians instituted universities,
servatorics, public librarieit and mu
seums; they collected, together all the
remains of ancieliMeatning;: and
through their medium the greater
number of Greek and Latin authorsi
which Wc. i .43 read during the Middle
Ages, were-known to Europe: •
In the eighth century the °Arabs
had full possession of-Spain, and - at
a somewhat liter date this 'country
iSossei,sed the most famous universi
ties in Europe. The Arabs,, in pro
pagating their new religion,-propa
gated also the remains of ancient cul
ture, which had already been - intro
duced into Persia and Syria by the
Nestorians, who had founded a school

of great reputation -at :Odessa. Again

Athens and Alexandria, marly of the

and formed new centres' of learning.

MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY.---A. poetical'
writer has said that some men, move
through 'life as 'a band of ionic
moves down the Street, • flinging; oat
pleasure on every side through the -
air to every one, far and near, that
can - listen. Some men fill the air' ,
.with L their" strength- and 'sweetness,
as the orchards in October- fill - the
air with, the odor of their ripe fruit.
Some women - cam 'to their own
houses like the Coney -suckle over
the door; yet; like itf . filLall the re- -
gion with the- subtle of their
goodness: 'How great &bounty and
blessing is it,,to so hold "the., royal
gifts ofthe.soul that they,. shell be
music to some, fragrance- to others,
and life to all I It would be no un
worthy thing to live for, to make the
power 'which we have within us the
breath of other men's joys; to fill the
atmosphere - Which they must stand
in with a brightness,which they can=
not create for themselves. , -
No man did or ever will do
duty "by and by."
