Eyes Open.
Our minister said-in his sermon last
evening, said. Mu. Beach, the .::wife of a
Pm/Peron wholesale dry goods merchant
on Market street, as she dusted her man
tle of porcelain and ,marble on Monday
morning, "that he who wanted to be good
must be on the constant lookout fur op
portunities; that God does not find our
work, and bring 'it ready fitted to our
hands ; • but He spreads the world before
us, and we are to walk through it, as
Christ and the apostles did, with oyes
open, looking fur the sick and suffering,
the poor and oppressed."
"Now I am certain," confined the
lady, as she replaced a marble Diana in
the centre of the mantel, "I should like
to do something good everyday—one feels
so much better when they go to rest at
night; and I'll just keep my eyes open
to-day, and see if I come across any op
portunities that under ordinary circum
stances I should let slip."
Half an hour later Mrs. Beach was in
the nursery with the washerwoman, who
had come for the clothes.
"I wish, Mrs. Simms," said she, as she
heaped the soiled linen into the basket
that you would get Tommy'saprons ready
for me by Wednesdar,,we are going out
of town to remain untiMatarday, and I
shall want a good supply or such a care
less little scamp as he is."
"Well, Pll try, ma'am," said the wash
erwoman. "I've got behind hand a good
deal since Sammy got the whooping
cough ; but now that he is better I must
try to make up for lost time."
Has he had the whooping cough ? Poor
little fellow. How old is he ?" questioned
the lady.
"He was three last April, ma'am."
"And Tom is four," mused the lady.
"Look here, Mrs. Simms, won't you just
open the lower drawer of that bureau,
and take out those four green worsted
dresses in the corner ? Tom's outgrown
them, you see, since last winter, but they're
almost as good as new. Now, if you wan't
them for little Sammy, they'll do nicely
without altering, I think."
"Want them, Mrs. Beach I" answered
the washerwonum, with tears starting to
her dim eyes, "I haven't words to thank
you, or tell you what a treasure they'll be.
Why, they will keep the little fellow as
warm as toast all winter."
"Well, I'll place them on the top of the
clothes, said the lady, smiling to herself;
as she thought, "My eyes have been open
once today."
Not long afterwards Mrs. Beach was on
her way to market, (for she was a notable
housekeeper,) when she met a boy who
bad lived a short time in her family the
year before to do errands, wait on the door,
&c. Ile was a brig -Wo ht, good-hearted, mer
rv-rauea nog. nail n
with the family, and Mrs. Beach had be
come interesteil in him ; but this morn
ing she was in quite a hurry, and would
have passed the child with a cordial, but
hasty, "flow are you, Joseph, my boy ?
Do come and see us," had it not struck
her that Joseph's face did not bear its
usual happy expreksion. She paused as
the memory of last night's sermon flashed
through her mind, and she asked—"ls
anything the matter with you Joseph?"
The boy looked up a moment, with a half
fearful expression into the lady's faee ; the
latter triumphed. "Mr. Anderson's moved
out of town," he said, pushing back his
worn, but neatly brushed cap from his
hair; "so I've lost my place, and little
Mary's sick; and that makes it very bad
just now."
"So it does," answered Mrs. Beach, her
sym hies warmly enlisted ; "but never
mind, pat Joseph; I remember, only night
before last, my brother said ho would want
a new errand boy, in a few days, fur his
store, and he will give a good one two
dollars a week. Now, I'll see him to-dy,
and gei the situatiorefor you, if you like."
The boy's white face brightened. "0!
I should be so glad of it, Mrs. Beach."
"And see here, Joseph, I'm going to
market, and perhaps I can find something
nice for little Mary." The lady remem
bered that Joseph's mother, though a poor
seamstress, was a very proud woman, and
felt that this would be a gentle way of
presenting her a gift.
So she found some delicate pears and
~ ,r apes, and a nice chicken to make some
broth for Mary, who, as she learned, was
ill with a fever, before she proceeded to do
her own marketing. But !t was a: pity
that she did not see Joseph as he sprang
into the chamber where the little diary
lay wearily moaning on her bed, while her
mother sat busily stitching in one corner,
and held up the chicken and the fruit,
crying, "Good news! good news! I've
got all these nice things for May, and a
place at two dollars a week!"
"Oh 1 how little Mary's hot fingers
closed over the bunches of white grapes,
while the sewing dropped from her moth
er's fingers, as the tears run down her
cheeks.
It was evening, and Mrs. Beach sat in
the library, when she heard her husband's
step in the hall. Though the morning
had been so pleasant o the afternoon was
cloudy, and the day had gone down in a
low, sullen, penetrating rain.
Now Mrs. Beach loved her husband
with the love of a true wife, but he was
not a demonstrative man, and the first
beauty and poetry of their married life
had settled down into a somewhat bar",
every-day, matter-of-fact existence. Brit
her heart was warm to-night--warm with
the good deeds of the day, and, remem
bering her resolution of the morning, she
threw down her bookand ran down stairs.

"Thank you Carry, I don't believe I'm

still; while she removed the heavy coat,
withall the softness of touch and move-

Children,. came learn something about
the various kinds of spices, so that when
you are in the kitchen helping som e b o dy
ma ke m i kes, awes, puddings, or pies, you
can take an intelligent interest. It is
well to know what you are grinding in
the minor grating on the nutmsgwaWr
so here are the facts. c Be carefalGtug!a,
that you don't let your knowledge fall an
the dough and mako it heavy.
Nutmeg is the kernel of a small, smooth,
pear-shaped trait that grows on a tree in
the Molucca Islands and other parts of the
East. The trees commence bearing in
their seventh year, and continue fruitful
until they are seventy or eighty years old.
Around the nutmeg or kernel Is a bright
brown shell This shell has a soft scarlet
covering, which when flattened out and
dried is known as mace. The best nut
megs are solid, and emit oil when pricked
with a pin.
Ginger is the root of a shrub first
known in Asia, and now cultivated in the
West-Indies and Sierra Leone. The stem
grows three or four feet high, and dies
every year. There are two varieties of
ginger, the white and black—caused by
taking more or less care in selecting and
preparing the roots, which are always dug
in the winter, when the stems are wither
ed. The whi te is the best.
Cinamon is the inner bark of a beauti
ful tree, a native of Ceylon, that grows
from twenty to thirty feet in height, and
lives to be centuries old. The United
States has imported nearly 819,000 worth
of cinnamon in a single year.
Cloves—native to the Siolneca Islands,
and so called from their resemblance to a
nail (claria). The East Indians call them
changkeh, from the Chinese tcheng-kia
(fragrant nails). They grow on a stright,
smooth-barked tree about forty feet high.
Cloves are not fruits, but blossoms gather
ed before they are quite unfolded.
Allspice—a berry, so culled because it
combines the odor of several spices—
grows abundantly on the beautiful allspice
or bayberry tree, native of South Ameri
ca and the West Indies. A single tree has
been known to produce one hundred and
fifty pounds of berries. They are purple
when ripe.
Black pepper is made by
. grinding the
dried berry of a climbing vine native to
the East Indies. White pepper is obtained
from the same berries freed from the husk
01 rind. Red or Cayenne pepper Is ob
tained by grinding the scarlet pod or seed
vessel of a tropical plant that is now cul
tivated in almost all.parts of the world.—

The Link Between Ben and FIIh.

sidered as the connecting link between
man and fish. It is the manatee, the wa
ter siren, the sea calf, or sea cow • as the
strange animal is somettmes calle d.
It belong s to the order of Cetacea, and
is altogether herbyerous, living on grass,
which it seeks on shore. The body is fish
shaped, and measures some fourteen feet
or more in length ; the skin being very
thick, without hair, and of dark color.—
The upper part of the body, especially of
the females, much resembles that of a wo
man, the breast being of the same form.
In place of the fins of the fine of the or
dinary fish, the manatee has only a short
arm of a single joint, which terminates in
a short hand, on, which the pail-is dis
tinctly visible, which Vaud the animal us
es witli Much dexterity in moving about,
and in carrying its young. This limb has
caused the animal to be caller the mana
tee, from the Latin word mantis, signify
ing the hand.
The writer, who for several years resid
ed in those countries where these animals
abound, has seen the animal,and has been
told repeatedly that the female holds
her cub to suckle as the mother does her
babe.
The tail of thS Manatee is shaped like
an open fan, and the close observer will
perceive ten diiisions, which mark the
ten toes. ManaMes swim by help of this
broad tail, which moves up and down and
not from right to left like that of a fish.
This limb, which at first appears to be
fin or nerve, melts entirely into butter
when fried in a pin, and is highly prized
by the natives fer ointments and other
medicinal purposes.
The animal weighs from 1,000 to 1,500
pounds, and the meat is.mnsidered a fine
relish. It looks and tastes a pod deal
like pork, and needs thorough cooking.
It is a strange fact that the flesh keeps
longer from decay than any other, and is
not saltedlike pork.; They are caught
with harpoons by thelndians, who know
their haunts and customs, and it seems
as if they were hi:aiming more scarce ev
ery year.
NEW KIND OF PAPER.—A new kind of
paper, specially adapted for various kinds
of clothing, has been invented in Eng
land. Both animal and vegetable mater
ials are employed in its production, the
former being New Zealand flax, jute,
hemp, and cotton, and the latter, wool,
silk, skins, etc. These matters are re
duced to a pulp and bleached, and then
felted in appropriate machinery. The
mixture of these materials gives a paper
of extraordinary pliancy, flexibility, and
strength, which may be sewn together as
easilyas woven fabrics, and make as strong
a seam. Among the articles made of the
paper are quilts audtable cloths, stamped
with patterns of great beauty, curtains,
shirts, and various other articles of dress;
a very good imitation of leather is made
of it, of which furniture coverings and
even shoes may bemade. The last may
be rendered waterproof by the introduc
tion of oils and India rubber.

A Word to umlle= Country Girl•
On Domeitte Servitude.
The trouble is, that we are inclined to
divide the conditions of servitude, and
while we am slaving persistently and un
protitablin one direction, imagine we
rank hi gh er in the kale "of being than
i t
theta w o are serving in another.
A poor American girl, somewhere out
West, who had persistently and persever
ingly sought to support herself by her
needle, and found it impossible, lately
went out to service; and the matter is
considered of sufficient importance to be
worthy of chronicle and comment in the
public press; and so it is, for it is an ef
fort in the right direction—an effort to
wrest herself free from the bondage, the
trammels of conventionalism, and may
possibly be the inauguration of an era, in
the history of this class, as important as
the introduction of the Chinese element
into our domestic life.
There are very many kinds of servitude,
and the distinctions between them are
sometimes so nice that the plilosophical
mind fails to comprehend them.
Among European nations in the poorer
classes, the dislike to entering into service
as a domestic does not exist. In Great
Britain, Erance and Germany, as well as
in Southern Europe, any mode of earning
a livelihood that is not dishonest is not
considered dishonorable ; and 'frequently
scions of two families, nursed at the same
breast, may be found holding the relative
positions of master and servant, without
discredit to either.
But in this country, it is far different
By what process of reasoning the deduc

to slave for a pittance in a cotton factory,
or a shoemaking establishment, than it is
to labor in a flintily for a comfortable home
and good wages, passes our understanding.
For years, innll our large cities, there
has been a constant outcry against the con
dition of our domestic labor. The mar
ket is supplied entirely from abroad by
raw, uneducated, and incompetent beings,
many of them, by reason of their previ
ous life, unteaehable, and alPmore or less
intractable. But this is the only market,
and consequently this class has it all their
own way.
In England, the poorer classes are edu
cated from childhood to fill domestic pd
sitions iu families; and, in consequence,
their knowledge and experience grow with
their growth, and their usefulness con
formably, and they are treated and respect
ed in accordance with both. Here we are
obliged to take the raw material as it pre
sents itself, and after moulding it to our
wishes, submit to caprices, and imposi
tion, or lose it alttrther.
Our manufactones of all sorts are filled
with strong, active and capable girls, com
petent and willing to work, but not to
work as servants. The consequence is,

this foolish and wicked conceit, they are
perforce driven to work in the most labori
ous field for insufficient compensation,
until health and strength sink beneath
the burden, and they wry their shuttered
constitutions to the grave.
In the cities it is still worse. Here the
influx of labor of this character is very
much greater than the demand ; the wages
are consequently insufficient to support
life—not toof clothing and prepa
ration for sickness s or want of work, and
thus may struggle on through a few mis
erable, precarious years, only to seek at
last a pauper's grave, or to be wallowed

Evil." Now, this is all wrong, and
ought to be righted.
Why should the daughters of small
farmers, too poor to support them after
they reach an age to support themselves,
be unwilling to cuter the service of fam
ilies where they would be provided with
comfortable homes • where their natural
capacity and knowledge of domestic re
quirements—for they are all taught that
thoroughly by their mothers—would make
them useful and respected; where they
would be nursed and cared for in sick
ness ; and where their wages would be
ample to clothe them, and to leave soMe
thing to spare, perhaps to aid the declin
ing fortunes of a widowed mother, or mi
llet in the education of a talented young
er brother ?
Is there any disgrace in this labor? Is
there as much shame connected with
working at domestic labor, in the house-.
holds of their own blood and rate, as there
is in toiling front daybreak to midnight

bilked—likely enough-out of hard-earned
wiges at the last moment?
If the young woman of our country
villages, educated to the knowledge of do
mestic requirements, would but offer their
services in such a capacity as we have in
dicated, they would find how gladly they
would be received; how kindly and hon
orably they would be treated, and what
comfort and happiness they would gain
by the exchange. While the labors of
mothers and wives would he lightened,
time would be given for the better culti
vation and consideration of children, and
both parties would have good reason to
bless the abandonment of a false pride
and stupid obstinacy and want of fore
sight which are destroying noble hearts
and making homes miserable that might
be made happy.

A Legend of Kinney.
One of the legends of this beautiful
lake, situated in .the heart of Ireland, is,
that once every seven years, pp. a fine
morning, before thblirst rays of the' sun
have begun todille — itiethe mists from the
boson? thi ,
'comes
riding over it on' a beautiful 'snow-White
horse, intent upon household affairs, fair
ies hovering before him,•and strewing his
path with flowers.. As he approaches his
ancient residence, everything turns to its
former state of magnificence—hie castle,
his library, his pr ison : his pigeon - house,
are reproduced us in the olden time.
Those who have courage to follow him
over the lake, may cross the deepest part
dry-fboted, and ride with him into theop
posite mountains, where his treasures lie
concealed ; and the daring visitor will re
ceive a liberal gift in return for his com
pany; but before the sun has arisen, the
O'Donaghue recrosses the water, and van
ishes amidst the reins of his castle.
Another relates how a young and beau
tiful girl, named Melcha, when wandering
along the banks of the beautiful lake,
after the last rays of the setting sun bad
gilded the horizon, saw by the pale light
of the silvery moon which had justrisen,
a plumed head rise out of the lake. Gaz
ing on the phantom, she distinctly saw
the full form of a chieftain on a white
charger, gliding slowly towards 'her. He
had a chtvulrons look, and in his hand' a
wand, surmounted by a golden shamrock.
They had an interview. She loved. He
promised a happy life under the green
waves. She agreed to be his own on the
next May morn. May morn arrived,•and
Melcha was ready in her bridal dress.
She stood on a high rock on the borders
of the lake, just as the sun began to gild
the surrounding mountains. Soon she
heard rapturous music, the air was per
fumed with delicious odors, and she be
held a train of beautiful damsels arise
from the water all clothed in white, scat
tering spring flowers around; then a
group of young children with fragrant
flowers, and beheld, O'Donaghne, on his
white horse, which was lcd by Naiads. As
the train moved on, boys and damsels
came up and followed till the whole were
opposite Melelia. He wore a glittering
helmet, bright armor, and the crimson
scarf Melcha had given him when they
parted. She knew not what to do, or
how to join her lover, but directly' she
stepped back a few paces, and running,
made a big jump elf the rock; o*Dona
gime rushed forward and caught her in
his arms before she reached the water.
The entire train gathered around„ the
chief and his bride, and all sunk beneath
the waves—nor has the lovely Metal:),
been seen from that day to this.

of years, bodies embalmed by any process
of observation whatever, but that they
are really bodies of individuals whose life

his idea; among others, his. experiments
dUring the last ten years, which he says
has always proved successful. He took a
snake and treated it in such a manner as,
to benumb it as though it bad been carved
in marble, and it was so brittle that had
he allowed it to fall it would have broken
into fragments. In this state he kept it
for several years, and then restored it to
life by twinkling it with stimulating flu
id, the composition of which is &wet.
For fifteen years the snake has been un
dergoing an existence composed of saves,
sive deaths and resurrection apparently
without sustaining harm. The professor
is reported to have sent a petition to his
Government requesting that a criminal
who has been condemned to death may be
given to him to be treated in the same
manner as the snake, promising to restore
him to life iu two years. It is understood
that the man who undergoes this experi

eleven years old, steered; and as he bad

pointed towards Figueira. 'After the two
boys had ' , rowed about 'a mile: on their
course, they stopped, and
_concluded to go
about the business of the day, which was
nothing more or less than fishing. They
decided that as it was' nearly ebb tide,
they would float out awhile, fishing in the

therefore, they lacked yet four thousand

and each one set to work to fish. Their
success was not remarkable, but for all
that they caught a good many fish, al
though they were not all of a kind suit
able for the table. I have not. space to
tell what kind of fish these all were and
some were very curious), nor how Clay
came within an inch of being hauled out
into the water by a big fellow that must
have been astray codfish, or the father of
all the sea-bass.
As this marine monster broke Clay's
hook short off—for the little fellow let go
of his line when the jerk came, and the
other end was tied to the rowlock—Mas
ter Clay had to give up fishing, and as the
others were not catching much, he thought
it dull sport to Watch them, and so con
cluded to take a swim. He was a fearless
boy, and by far the best swiniiner of the
party. Clay had not been in the water
more than ten minntes,when Tom thought
he saw a shark, about two hundred yards
from the boat. Aleck sneered at this, for
the reason that there were no sharks in
that part of the ocean. Tom called to
Clay that there was a shark off there, and
Clay turned to swim to the boat, ( but as
Aleck commenced to laugh at hbn, he
stopped swimming and laughed a little
himself. In one minute, both boys in the
boat screamed at the top of their voices,
"Look out there P and turning his head,
Clay saw the shark, his back-fin cutting
the top of the water like a ship's bow,
not thirty feet away. In an instant be
comprehended that he might as well try
to swim to Portugal as to reach tip boat
in a straight course, and it flashed upon
him that he must dive below the shark
and come up near the boat. He. knew
that a shark generally bites from below.
So down he went, a little slanting toward

So quick had been the shark's descent
that Clay had not stopped sinking when

just as it was rolling over to make its bite,
Clay's feet touched it • With one convul

surface like a cork. There were two oars
stretched out. Clay clutched one of them,
and Tom, in his frenzy of terror, actually
lifted the naked fellow up into the air u
he jerked his oar up. Aleck seised it in
a second, and together they dropped Clay
into the boat like a flab from a rod:

Avoid all sadden changes between light

Never read by twilightor moonlight,or

Never sleep a) that, on waking, the eyes
