many gardeners ever have it for all

The fact is. it is almost always sown

growth are blow, so that it conies up
about the time that the weather is
getting warm and dry. and unless in
a very favorable spot, burns out, or
is in some way destroyed. This is
seldom allowed to sprout at all ; for
generally the aniature gardeners, not
knowing that it takes six weeks to
sprout, eens'ders the seed bad, and
sows something else in tb plnee

The fact that Mcchella, the crim
inal who was executed in Hudson
City, X. J., on Friday, was the pos
sessor of an extraordinary heavy and
w 11-dcveloped brain has puz.letl the
exjerts, aud seems likely to lead to
an interesting inquiry. The claim
was made for this prisoner that his
actions showed him to be a man of
deficient intelligence, and that owing
to his partially idiotic condition he
was not tnoralh' responsible for his
nets, and should not be hung. The
New Jersey Court of Pardons would
not, however, entertain this appeal.
A twist mortem examination showed
Mcchclla's brain to weigh ol grain
and! scrunle: a weight whieii lias
Wen onlv exceeded in one instance.
Daniel Webster's brain the heavies
of anv recorded although ther
have verv possibly been heavier ones
weighed but two or throe scruples

. the shrewdest anatomist, with it
alone before Inni. and lucking all par
ticulars of the person who had once
carried it about him, would have pro
nounced it. without hesitation, the
brain of a man of compelling intellect.
So much for cornered wisdom ! This
case shows, once more, how easily
the most earnest theories relating to
the connection of mind and matter
may be overturned. It must be said
that there is itt'e arrogance among
students on this subject. There is
t ach an evident mystery about the
matter that it would be very surpri
sing to learn that there has been a
radical misconception of the nature
of the brain function, or ev.-n to
know that the brain is a mere receiv-
The young man who thinks he can
carry his boyish pranks into the seri
ous business of life is not a man and
defrauds himself and his employer,
"After work, play." That should
satisfy the most sanguine. "Business
before pleasure"' is the motto of the
prudent man whose guide is experi
ence, and it is sumcicnt lor the novi
tiate ij active lift".
But it is despicable to see a young
man just starting in life, so wedded
to his former onjovnicnts as to place
them above present duties. Yet this
is often the case. The young man,
who t) steer his own bark, launches
forth on the sea ot life, too often,
looks back on the pleasures he leaves
behind, and forgetful of present duties,
steers back to past enjoyments.
There is n royal road to success
any more than to knowledge. He
who would succeed must work, and
after all then- is more real enjovment
in work which has a worthy obiect
than in play or pleasure, intended to
kill time. We remarked a tew days
ago to a business man whose present
m -ans are amply sufficient, but who
worked really harder than any of his
numerous employees, that he ought
to "take it easy." Said he "I am
mj verso happy as when I have more
than I can do. I may wear out
working, but I dread to rust out
idling."' He was right. His work
was a part of himself, a part of his
life, and it was always faithfully done.
To apprentices especially, this earn-
estiuss and interest in their work is
necessarv if success is ever to be at
tained.
Probably the oldest timlK-r iu the
world which has been subjected to
the use of man, is that which is
found in the ancient temples of
Egypt. It is found in connection
with stone work which is known to
be at least four thousand years old.
This wood, and the only wood used
in the construction of the temple, is
in the form of ties, holding the end
of one stone to another iu the upper
surface. When two blocks were laid
in place, theu it appears that aa ex
cavation about au inch deep was
made in each block, into which an
hour-glass shaped tie was driven. It
is, therefore, very difficult to force
any stone from its position. The
lies appear to have been tamarisk,
or shittim wood, of which the ark
was constructed, a sacred tree in an
cient Egypt, aud now very rarely
found in the valley of the Nile.
Those dove-tailed ties are just as
sound now as on the day of their in
sertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in that country, these bits of
wood are not large enough to make
it an object with Arabs to heave off
lavcr after laver of heavy stone for
so small a prize. Had they been of
bronze, half the old temples would
have been destroyed years ago, so
precious would they have been for
various purposes. Lxmange.

ble. Their .1 wJ'GS 'c garrets,

which ar1"114!! or else partitioned off
into ""all apartments, dirty and nn
j,ftby. Many take up their abode
in a cabin in the open square, or
along the wider streets, where they
sit during the day exposing petty ar
ticles of merchandise. In Rome,
Naples, and other southern cities, they
often live out-of-doors altogether,
lying about in the sun, and sleeping
at night in tha squares and parks.
In Swceden, Poland, and 6ome other
northern countries, they take up lodg
ing in the stablei with the cattle.
Those who carry on their own busi
ness, as shoemakers, often do all their
own work in the streets. This is es
pecially so in the south. In Naples,
for example, you can see them ar
ranged with their tools along the pave
ment from one end of the street to the
other. I bave noticed whole squads
of sewing girls, sometimes with sew
ing machines, thus stretched along
the pavements; also, bakers, cooks,
saddlers, coopers, coopersmiths, etc.,
all plying their trade in open air for
lack of shelter of any kind.
The dress and general appearance
of thiss class are no better than their
dwellings. Much of their clothing is
second-hand apparel that has been
thrown off by the rich. The general
characteristic of a poor man's dress
in Europe is good stuff in a bad con
dition. In Thuringia, the children
often go entirely naked; in Italy, the
poor children and beggars go nearly
so. The common blouse of the work
ingmen all over Europe is what we
would call a coarse shirt. They
largely wear wooden shoes, and bind
their feet with rags for stockings.
The food of this class is likewise
bad, and rarely ever sufficient for
them, there being much suffering and
weakness from this cause. Cheese
takes largely the place of meat in
Germany, and fat of butter. It is not
uncommon in the rural provinces for
a man to come home after a hard
day's work to a supper of unbolted
rye bread and the salt water in which
herring had beed pickled. Only those
in better circumstances can eat the
herriug. The stems and leaves of
cabbages, turnips, and other vegeta
bles are eaten by ibis class; also horse
meat, blood, entrails, snails, and the
like. In Italy, they feed on coarse
mush and are disqualified for any
hard work whatever. This class do
not generally eat at tables, but "take
a piece as we would say, each one
eating when he feels like it, or when
he can get it. They do not eat in
the house, but may be seen at all
hours eatinir in the streets. A chmi
reason for so much beer and wine
drinking in Europe is, that with
something of this kind, the working
classes can make out to swallow their
dry crusts. Old and Ntic.

rapidly 'fines' itself by the oxidation

blue skies, and the sheet is passed on
ready for the next stage, each girl
usually adding only one feature to
the eencral desiirn. The poetry of
valentines is a study, and so per
bap6, would the poets be if they
could conveniently be got at. They,
however, are not usually kewt on
the premises.and it is to be feared that
they have not participated in the
general projrress of the business; for
the experience of shopkeepers is rath
er against ' he effusions of the bard.
The longer the poem, the more time is
occupied in reading it. and conse
quently, the longer it takes to serve a
customer, n hat with the study and
discussion of artistic embelishmcnts
and poetical effusions, it is some
times found to take no small portion
of a day to serve a sixpenny custom
er. Condensed feeling, therefore,
compact and concentrated emotion,
combined of conrse, with a sparkle
and originality, is what is required
of the "Seven Dials 1'oet," and for
such of his lucubrations as are ac
cepted, threepence a line is the nsual
remuneration. Not such very bad
policy either, one is apt to think, un
til it is considered what brain-eudgcl-ing
and paroxism of poetic rapture
have probably been expended in
spinning unavailing yards upon
yards for every line that finds accept
ance, to say nothing of the time he
may hare to spend in seeking out
those who are open to purchase lines
of anv kind.

In the morning of life we paint
with the brush of fancy, our beauti
ful idea af the future lying out before
us a picture of cloudless skies and
brilliant sunshine, of flower strewn
paths and tropic blooms a picture
where joy and love, and friendship
and fame stand holding out their
beautiful offering, as the central
figure of the whole. But how differ
ent the pictures painted each day
life by the brush of pitiless reality.
ot one picture, but many, for the
scenes arc ever shifting. The skies are
clouded, and the sunshine faded
The flowers are withered, and hide
the thorns no lonjrer. Sorrow steps
in where joy had stood; hatred takes
tne place of love; friendship, that wc
uad painted with a beautiful face takes
on the hideous look of treachery. At
the eventide of life we gaze at the
pictures in the gallery of memory,
and comparing the ones that fancy
painted with those stamped upon our
Hearts bytbe stern realities oflife rwe

A Di'BLlx merchant named John
son was very bard on his clerks, and
when a visitor left the store without
purcbai e he would discharge that clerk
lie took up a position near the door
ana as customers passed out would
inquire if thej had been properly
served. On one occasion a lady was
negouaimr with a clerk for a shawl,
but the sale was not made. The
clerk called the lady's attention to
the old rcQtleiniin, who was. as usual.
6tandinjf near the door, waiting to
waylay the lady with the customary
question. "That old man," said the
erk, "is crazy. He may attempt to
stop you as you go out, and you had
bct avoid him, as he is sometimes
dangerous." The lady started for the
door, and as the old gentleman ap
proached hergavc a shriek and darted
out. Johnsou was greatly astonish
ed, aud walking back to "the clerk
akcd: "Do you know tuatlitdv?" "Xo
air" replied the clerk, "but I thinkshe
is crazy." "You are right," returned
tha old gentleman, "she must be
