The Little Black Fiddle.
It hung in the garret, on one of the
big nails there, all around it the usual
lumber or an old bouse trunks, broken
chairs, superannuated chest of draw
ers, a spinning-wheel, cobwebs.
Yearn and years ago a tramp had been
taken in at the door in a faiuting con
dition, lie lay ail day in stupor on the
settee where tber had placed him ; and,
moved with pity, an J in some slight
consternation as to what was to become
of him, and of themselves too, if this
state continued, the household did what
they could for him. Just before dark
he began to murmur a broken jargon
of English and foreign tongues, and
took hi little black fiddle from his side,
and gave it to Mr. Brooks with as im
pressive an air as if he bestowed a king
dom, the children looking on, wide-eyed
and oeti -mouthed. Then he died, and
was buried, and nobody knew anything
farther about him; and the children
twanged the fiddle a while, and there
had been the end of it.
The little fiddle hung forgotten on its
nail ; but the children grew in strength
and beauty every day, and made the
house nearly as lively as the ark must
have been in all the forty days before it
rested on Ararat. Sometimes the little
fiddle vibrated to their laughter, and
gave it a faint echo from tin hollow
breast, hut that was all the share it had
In it.
What a cheerful group they were,
Belle and Jessie and Fred and Frank,
and the twins always rolling over each
other, and chuckling as if that were the
freshest joke in the world. They were
just as cheerful when a dozen years had
passed, and the children were becoming
men and women, childish boisterous
ness was becoming high-bred gayety,
and the special talent was developing
that belonged to each of them.
But the general talent of that family
was for charity. They had a genius for
it a genius, as Mr. Brooks' neighbors
used to gay, for turning themselves out
of doors iu order to let somebody else
iu ; a little house, but the largest you
ever knew, for it held the most hos
pitable to rich and poor, the wayfarer
never leaving It unrefreshed, the suf
ferer uncondoned.
Yet the means to do so much were
but limited. Mr. Brooks bad bnt a
small income; Mrs. Brooks found it
necessary to count every penny twice
over, to turn and piece and remake, and
never to waste a enrjub. But, when
that was all done, t lie re was always
something left for the widow and father
less; and the moment there was any
tiling to do, either for North street or
the Five Points or Borroboola, Mrs.
Brooks' door was the one first rapped
at. And w hat a vivid interest it w-as
that was taken throughout that house
in every rase that came up, from the
time the little bright heads could cluster
together, the little fingers could hold a
needle, the little legs run an errand!
You could never see a prettier sight
than those bright heads, those glowing
faces, those pitying eyes. "My bunch
of blossoms," Mr. Brooks used to call
them, and say they gave their honey to
every bee that, vagabondized about
them. And by-and-by, when Belle
was eighteen, and Jessie just turning
sixteen, and the rest coming on, this
same sympathy with all suffering was
as active as of old ; and Jessie's lovely
face seemed every day to grow lovelier
with the melting tenderness she felt to
every one that needed gentle word or
deed, and wtien she sang her songs in
the evening, the trait seemed somehow
to have strained itself through the rich
sweet tones of her voice, and to make
the hearer's heart respoud to its touch
and always fill his eyes with tears.
"Our Jessie," the father used to say,
"ought to have different instructions
with that voice. If you hadn't been
such a Sandemanlan, wife, all your life,
we should have laid by enough to send
her to Italy and have her voice culti
vated as it should be."
"Well, dear, would you throw away
all your pleasant memories of pain re
lieved and all the benefit it has wrought
the children's characters, and take it
out In music T" his wife would ask. "I
should like to have Jessie's voice at
tended to; but, bless you, it might do
her more harm than good."
'Harm !" said . Belle ouce, as they
talked it over, , .
"Yes, dear; we all have our vanities,
aud to nurse one's pride "
"Oh, mamma, but to stand up and lift
a thousand people on your voice as if it
were wings for them! Think of that!
Of the delight she could give so many,
and then of the fortune she could make
and the thtngsshe conld do ! We would
have that children's hospital, and"
"Very true," sighed Mrs. Brooks.
"Very true," sighed her husband.
"It would take fifteen hundred dollars
to send Jessie to Italy. She would be
too old to have It do her voice any good
bv the time 1 could get so much to
gether." Ami just then came in the
minister's wife to see about the concert
she was getting up lor the benefit of the
poor, Pe Maurn children, whose par
ents lately organist and soprano in the
little church were lost in the Destroyer
on their way to Europe for some pur
pose, at which concert Jessie was to sing
a song, if ahe could find the courage.
"You needn't be afraid, Jessie' said
the good minister's wife ; "there's, no
body in Uie audience knows ,a .note
mora mask) than too do," -' '- ' -t' -
"Ob, but he w'iU the violinist, you
know; . and - Madame. Keuter, If- she"
comes" , - c : . 1 . - - : , ' ' '
"She's coming. "We're to pay' ex
penses.. And she represented the case
to Signor. Parian' and told him they
were the children of musicians, and he
volunteered. It was too good of him !
They're to stay with me.'p
"Oh, not both of them, Mrs. King;
one's enough, with all your care. Send
one nere," said Mrs. Brooks.
"Well, I should be glad to. really.
Ill send you the slgnor. Xow, Jessie,
sing The harp that once through Tara's
halls,' just as if you were on the plat
form, and we were all down on the seats
be 1 ore vou.
And so Jessie sang it, and her voice
swelled out as If a young sibyl sang,
wiui me woros,
Thae Freedom now mn eeldoni wekes-
The only tbrob etae gives
U when enme been indiraant break.
To that cull abe Uv."
And the minister' wife cried and went
home,
One afternoon next week Madame
Reuter came down, and Mrs. King
brought the Sirnor Pazsaui into the
Brookses' parlor, and left him.
It was not much preparation the
Brookses had been able to make for
their distinguished guest, they could
only fill his room full to overflowing
with Belle's flowers, that grew and
blossomed in every window the winter
long, as ror their table, it was alwayf
a miracle of snow and silver and
parseiy-trtmmea aisces, aud It was
impossible for them to make much
difference. They found, though, that
it was of no consequence, for the signor
was inuinerent 10 everytntng but bread
and fruit and salad, and presently looked
about him for the young lady who was
to sing. "You are she," he said, pres
ently, to Jessie, and began talking with
her about her music while he crumbled
his bread. But it was not till some,
hours after they left the table that he
came dowu from his room aud demanded
to hear what she could do.
Poor Jessie had no more idea of hesi
tating or refusing than if an angel of
..! .: 1 . 1 1
annunciation iiau appeareu auu uiuuen
her. . She went Instantly to the piano,
though Belle ran before her to play the
accompaniment. Belle had to play the
prelude twice over, though, before Jes
sie could command her voice; and in
the til st measure it trembled so that she
was afraid she would have to stop, aud
she was pule as death. "Courage,
courage, my child," cried the signor,
and she took a little and went ou ; aud
soon she lorgot the signor and her
fright, and was singing as freely as a
bird in the wild wood. "It is grand !
it is delicious!" cried the signor, in his
own tongue, which Jessie and Belle
understood tolerably. "It is a voice in
a thousand. In a thousand f A voice
in millions! It is the nightingale's!
and it must have care, study, training
tuny: '
Jessie shook her head aud felt very
much like crying. She knew it she ever
showed the least desire for Italy, her
father would cramp himself, her mother
forego her comforts, the children deny
themselves everything; they would sell
the piano, move into a meaner house,
live on little, give nothing away. She
had never intimated that she thought
the thing worth while. Xow she shook
her head and ventured to say in such
Italian as she had. "It is impossible.
1'lease don't sieak of it; It would only
make grief here. But thank you for
the kiud words."
Aud then the signor gazed hard at
the lovely face with its Madonna-like
oval, and its great soft dark eyes, ami
said: "Nothing is impossible. Xow I
must seek my violin, it was to come
by express, but has not, the good house
mother says."
Xo; it had not come, and, what was
more, it never would come in its old
shape. Ihe express had met with an
accident, and all its contents had been
shattered. The violin that the Queen
of Holland had given Signor Pazzani,
that Jacques Staiuer had made himself
in the Tyrol two hundred years ago aud
more, was nothing but a handful of
chips.
It would have been ludicrous. It it bad
not been in reality harrowing, to see
the signor's grief and rage when be
heard of the destruction of his darling,
and had the broken bits put into his
hand. He remembered nothing more
about Jessie's voice, about the evening
concert; he sat down among the frag-
- - -w I . . . e t
menis, iiKe .alarms 111 me ruiiu ot w
thage, and bewailed himself.
It was an Intensely cold and still
winter's day; there was not a sound to
be heard in the village, save now and
then a distant sleigh-bell, the droppiug
of some huge icicle, or the loud report
of some nail as it sprung with the frost
in the ratters. As the signor sat there
now with the broken volute of his violin
in his left hand, and the .other hand
wound in his hair distractedly, one of
these nails went off, as you might say,
with more of an explosion than usual
upon the frosty silence of the afternoon,
followed by a clear, resonant note that
for half a moment seemed to fill the
house with a silvery vibration. They
all heard it, and looked up bewildered;
and suddenly Jessie, with a joyous cry,
sprang to her feet and darted from the
room. The garret door had beeu lea
open by somebody, she found. In a
moment she was back, and had placed
in the bands of the signor, whose mood
of frenzy had been succeeded by one of
silent desperation, the little black fiddle.
"It fell from its nail," she was saying.
"It was that we heard. Jt wanted to
come and comfort you, you see. Is ft
good for anything? Can you mend
your own with itf Is it so old I"
"Whv do you bring me this, my
child f'' he asked, sadly, but took it, and
ran his eye over it. Something seemed
to strike him as he did so. He bent his
head quickly, lifted the violin to his ear
and tapped it and listened, ran his fin
gers down its lines, took out ills hand
kerchief and dusted It minntely His
hands began to shake; he was holding
his breath; he was comparing the mea
surements of the little black fiddle with
certain figures iu a memorandum-book
drawn from bis pocket. He peered into
its every dimension in a sort of mad
haste. He took a magnifier, and then
with a bit of chamois leather began
rubbing the end of the little black fiddle
as if he were polishing a jewel. All at
once he cried out :
"Aha! Behold it! It is here! Read
it. mv children, read! Sott la disci-
plima !' A. Strndiearins, Crrmona. I US.'
It is bis, the Uiuseppe del Jesu s, wnen
the great Antoiue was his master.

But he knew music ! And . Antoine
Stradivarius has had it iu his hands;
has looked at its sides, its table, iu

the bow across it; has said it was good !
Quick! where are my strings? We
will see; we will see. There is no
bridge. That Is all right. The bridge
would not have answered. My Stainer
briilge is whole yet."
He whs silent in a long but hurried
unrolling and fastening of strings, an
endless tuning and hearkening and
tuning again, and then the walls or the
room were vibrant about them, and
Signor Pazaani was playing on the little
black fiddle, and the sweet, powerful
sonority, the suave, silvery. Intense
tone, the mellow but majestic strengtn,
were ringing in their eara like the

cried, gaily, smiling on them one and
all. "it will be mine; yon will not
think of keeping it; you can none of

"It's a Guarneriiis, the Giuseppe del
Jesu s. It Is worth money it is worth
more; you shall have a thousand, yon
shall have fifteen hundred, you shall
have two thousand dollars for it."
"Oh, hush, indeed," cried Jessie.
"Of course you shall have if, Sir. It is
valueless to us; it is yours."
"Stay, stay a moment, Jessie," said
her father.
"The little black fiddle is mine. That
poor old vagabond, fallen from his high
estate, gave it to me. It is a way bread
has of coming back npon the waters
after many days. If the signor wants
to pay me a thousand dollars for it, we
will compass the other five hundred by
ourselves, and you shall go to Italy."
The next morning Signor Pazzani
went off with the little black fiddle
tucked under his arm, and Mr. Brooks
went to the city with him to secure
. essie's passage in the next steamer
.hat sailed for foreign shores. And the
uttle fiddle had some share iu it, after
all.

The true way is to let the horse
drive himself, the driver doiuir little
but dtrectiuir him aud giving him
that confidence which a horse alone
freta in himself when he feels that a
guide and friend is back of him. The
most vicious and inexcusable style of
driving is that which so many drivers
adopt, viz.: Wrapping the lines aroand
either nana aud pttuuig the uwrse
backward with all their miirlit ami
main, so that the hor.-e in point of
tact, pulls the weight hack ot him
with his mop t and not with his
breast and shoulders. This they do
nnder tiie inipres-jon that snch a dead
Dull is needed to "steailv" the horse.
The fact is, with rareexceptiou, there
should never be any pull on the horse
at all. A steady pressure is allowa
ble, probably advisable : but anything
beyond this baa no jus iheation in ua-
ir or reason ; for nature suggests
the utmost possible freedom of action
of head, body and limbs in order that
the animal may attain the lnithet rate
of speed ; and reason certainly for
bids the snppoMition that bv the bits
and not the breast-collar, the horse
is to draw the weight attached to it.
In speed 111 it my horses I seldom irraKp
the Hues with both hands when the
road is straight aud free troiu obstruc
tions. The liuea are rarely steadily
taut, but held in easy pliancy and
used chieflv to shift the bit in the
horse's mouth, and by this method
my horses break less aud go much
faster. Murray.

The origin of phrases and some of our
common words presents an interesting
study. The term tub rota is said to have
originated as follows: Cupid gve
rose to Hippocrats, aud from this
legend arose the practice of susiiending
a rose over the lame wnen eating wnen
it was intended that the conversation
should ,be kept secret. The explana
tion of the origin of "ny hook or crook
is that in the olden time persons enti
tled to get firewood in the King's forest
were limited to such dead branches as
they could tear down with a "hook or a
crook without hurt to his Majesty's
tree." "In spite of his teeth" origina
ted thus: King John of England once
demanded of a Jew the sum of ten thou
sand marks, and on being refused, or
dered that the Israelite should have one
after another of his teeth drawn until
he gave h's consent. The Jew submit
ted to the loss of seven, and then paid
the r quired sum; heace the expression
"in spite of his teeth." Mr. F. Crossley
suggests that as the ongin of the word
"humbug" the Irish "uim bog," pro
nounced "inn-bug," literally "soft cop
per" or worthies money." James 11.
issued from tbe Dublin Mint a mixture
of lead, copper, and brass so worthless
that a sovereign was intrinsically worth
ouly two pence, and might have been
bought after the revolution for a half
penny.' Sterling and urn-hug were
therefore expressions of real fictitious
worth merit aud humbug.

Dr. Charles C. Abbott cites the fol
lowing occurrence to show that birds
possess some mode of conveying ideas
to one another. In the spring of 1S72 a
pair of cat-birds were noticed carrying
materials for a nest to a patch of blackberry-briers
hard by. To test their iu
genuity, lr. Abbott took a long 11.1. row
strip of muslin, too long for one h'.nl
conveniently to carry, and placed it on
the ground in such a position as to be
seen by the birds when searching for
material. In a few moments one of the
cat-birds spied the strip and emlcavored
to carry it off, but Its length and weight
however he took hold of it and he
tried many times imjieded his flight,
and, after long worrying over it, the
bird flew off for assistance. In a few
moments he returned with Jiis mate,
and then, standing near the strip, they
appeared to tolit a tiKullutiim. The
chirping, twittering, murmuring, aud
occasional ejaculations, were all unmis
takable. In a few moments these all
ceased, and the work commenced. Each
took hold of the muslin strip, at about
the same distance in each case from the
ends, and, taking flight simultaneously,
bore it away. Soon there was much
jabbering at the nest; the birds could
not agree how to use the strip, and it
was finally abandoned ; but so, too, was
the nest, ami the birds left the neigh
borhood. Pimlur fn-ltm-e Monthly Jr

On account of their supposed destruc
tion of fish, there is at present a great
raid against the swans on the I names.
It is alleged that they have increased to
an extent which deducts considerably
from the picturesque Wordsworthian
ideal of the swan that "floats double-
swan aud shadow;" that they should be
seen in ones or twos, but certainly not
in swarms. Mr. S. C. Hall, in the Book
of the Thames, says, with pardonable en
thusiasm, "we would almost as soon
part with the trees which border, as
with the swans that grace the surface
of our noble river." They certainly
tend to keep down the too great exub
erance of aquatic weeds which, with the
coarse grass which grows luxuriantly
at the waterside, form their salad. But
they are accused of rendering their
vegetable diet the more palatable by an
admixture of fish-spawn, particularly
that of perch, which, being suspended
on the branches of submerged willows
in convenient festoons, is looked upon
by the bird of Leda as being purposely
placed there for its especial enjoyment.
It has been pleaded by some that this
lubricating luxury is necessary for the
proper assimilation of Its food ; but the
oDxiieuts of this doctrine have ex
amined the internal economy of tbe
b'rd to prove that it possesses a gizzard
of such a woudrously grinding power
as to admit of no such excuse. This
fondness for the ribbon-like ova of the
Ptrca family U no false indictment, as
we have been or those who, in tbe in
terests of the fisheries, have vainly at
tempted to drive away swaus from the
spawuinz-STOunds. In these encounters
J the birds did not always get the worst
of it; the blow of a swan communicated
from the bend of its wing, even upon
the end of an oar grasped by the hand,
giving a shock to the muscles of the arm
that Las been felt for an hour after
ward. And then iu these sallies we
were not allowed to resort to violence
or injury, as there are penalties attached
to even disturbing swnns while on their
nest. Taking eggs from the nests of
swans and ot certain other birds was an
offense severely dealt with in olden
times. Even the keeping of a swau not
marked, without license, was a mis
demeanor; aud stealing marked and
pinioned swans is still felony. By the
old law, when a marked swan was
stolen in an oieu and common river, tbe
purloined bird, if it could be obtained,
and if not, another swan, was hung up
by the bill, and the thief was compelled
to give the party robbed as much meal
as would cover all the swan, the oe ra
tion being performed by pouring the
grain ou its head till it was entirely
hidden. A similar fine was imposed for
stealing a cat from the Princes' grana
ries. Z'hnmher's Journal.
A Baath Aaaerieaa City.
A correspondent writes of a visit to
Para, the emporium of the Amazon:
Para juts out a little into the river, giv
ing us an admirable view as we ap
proach. It looks like a city of the past,
the mildew ou its white walls aud
church towers making it look older
than it is even. Here, for the first time
in this part of the world, we see towers
and high building. We cast anchor
just in front of the city, and have
plenty of time to examine its appear
ance from the distance, to study the
steamboats (second-class river boats
from the United States, all of them).

We are ready to go ashore aud impatient
to do so, but the Brazilians tike their

than 1 feel that Para may be a good
place to visit but not to live in.. The
streets are wretched, unpaved, and
when it rains become regular mud-
puddles, and it rains every day in the
tropics. We see some gentlemen in the
streets, an umbrella being part of their
toilet. Xoone stirs without one; if it
is not raining, the sun shines fiercely.

all down the street. The aspect made
is delightful. Floors of two kinds of

and pleasant to look at. At a short dis
tance from these houses you come upon
uncultivated plots of land, where fruit
trees, large-leafed plants, and low brush
give you au idea of luxuriant growth.

looking as in St. Thomas, but they look
as it they bad something to do, and
were doing it. If the women have a
dower in the side of their heads they
seem satisfied, be their dress ever so
dirty. Almost every one wore a flower
there. The Para children are, for the
most part, handsome. The streets, as
w-e returned, and the open spaces were
filled with them. The day was drawing
to a close, and we were hastening to
reach the shin before dark. It is al
ways dark at six here, of course. We
were offered a monkey for a dollar and
a half, a bird with a long neck that
caught flies with ease, a snake, some
electrical eels, but we declined to pur
chase. Br the way a boa constrictor
makes a good rat catcher. They are
put into tbe floors of new houses when
they are young, and taking up their
abode there keep the rats away. 1 bey
are said to be harmless, and to live in
ninety out of everyone hundred houses.
The Para market is a sight. It is under
a stone arch-way, four sides forming a
square. In the centre are wooden booths
for meat, which does not look inviting.
though the meat is said to le very good
Mutton Is very scarce. - The principal
articles for sale are fruit, bananas, pine
apples, oranges, cocoaiuits, fish (a cat
fish eight feet long was lying there), a
few eggs, aud some few thing4 that
may have a name, but are unknown to
the greater part of mankind. The flow
ers and bananas were about the only
teinptingobjectsoflered. All the sellers
are negroes. Here, as throughout Bra
zil, the Portuguese language is used.
Para is a city of about forty thousand
inhabitants. Brazil nuts and rubber
are their principal exports. The nuts
grow several in a group, Inclosed in
skin about as large as au apple. When
ripe, the bottom of the ball falls out.
They are hard to gather, lieing so far
Iroui the ground. 1 he natives build
huts under them, and wait for a good
wind; while the wind lasts, they lay
under cover, as the fruit in falling
would hurt them. The financial affairs
of Para are at a low ebb just now ; in
deed, the whole of llruv.il is under a
cloud, three banks having smashed in
Kio, and spread a panic throughout the
country.
The Cheerralaeea ef the frearhaaea.
Dr. Henry M. Field, in the interest
ing series of letters which he is writing
for the raNrctf.upon histoiiraronnd
the world, discourses thus about tbe
cheerfulness of the people of France
in contrast with tbe bugusu or own
countrymen :
bat pleases me most in Pans is
the general cheerfulness. I do not ob
serve such wide extremes of condition
as in Loddon, such painful contrasts
between the rich aud poor. Indeed. I
do not find litre such abject poverty,
nor see such dark, sullen, scowling
faces as I saw in the low Quarters of
London, which indicate such brutal de
gradation. Here everybody seems to
be. at least in a small way. comfortable
and contented. I spoke in a former
letter of the industry of the people (no
city in the world is such a hive of busy
bees) and or their great economy, and
this shows itself even in their pleasures
of which they are fond, but which they
get very cheap. Xo people will get so
much out of so little. V hat au Eng
lish workman will spend in a single
drunken debanch a Frenchman will
spread over a week, and get a li t tie en
joy lueut out of it every tlay. It delights
me to see how they take their pleasures.
Everybody seems to be happy in his
own way, and not to be envious of his
neighbor. It a man cannot ride with
two horses lie will go with one. and
even if that one lie a sorry back, with
ribs sticking out his sides, and that
seems just ready for the crows, no mat
ter, he will pile his wife and children
into the little, low carriage, and off
they go not at great speed, to be sure,
but as gay and merry as if they were
the Emperor and his court, with out
riders going before and a body of cav
aliy clattering at their heels. When I
have seen a whole family at Versailles
or St. Cloud diuinr on five francs (0
no. that is too mairnilicicnt : they carry
their dinner with them,aud it proliably
does not cost them two fraues), I admire
tbe simple tastes which are so easily
satisfied, aud the miracle-working art
which extracts honey trom every daisy
by the roadside. Such simple and uni
versal etijoyuient would not be possi
ble, but tor one trait which is peculiar
to the French an entire absence of
miHrie houte, or false shame: the
foolish pride, which is so common in
England and America, of wishing to
be thought as rich or as great aa others.
In London no one would dare, even if
he were allowed, to show himself in
Hyde Park in such unpretentious turn
outs as those in which half Paris will
go to the ISois de Boulogne. Bnt here
everbodv jogs along at his own gait,
not troubling himself about his neigh
bor. 'Live and let live' seems to be, if
not tbe law of the country, at least the
universal habit of the people. What
ever faulta the French have, I believe
they are freer than most nations from
'envy, malice aud uncliaritahleuess.'
With this there isafeelingof self respect
even among the common people that is
very pleasing. If you speak to a French
servant, or to a workman in a blonse.
he does not sink into the earth as if he
were an inferior being or take a tone
of servility, but auswers politely, yet
aelf-respectingly, as if conscious that
he too is a man. The most painful
tl-ing that I found in England was the
way in which the distinctions of rank,
which seem to be as rigid as the castes
of India, have eaten into the manhood
and self-respect of our great Anglo
Saxon rare. Bnt here 'a man's a man,'
aud especially if be is a Frenchman, he
is as good aa anybody."
Br. Hollaad Elevator Herat, lhy
eleal aed Edaeatlaaal.
This is an epoch of elevators. We do
not climb to our rooms in the hotel ; we
ride. We do not reach the uper stories
of Stewart's by slow and patient steps:
we are lifted there. The Simplon is
crossed by a railroad, and steam has
usurped the place of the Alpen-stock on
the Khigi. The climb which used to
give us health 011 Mount Holyoke, and a
beautiful prospect, with the reward of
rest, is now purchased for 25 cents l" a
stationary engine.
If our efforts to get our ImmHcs into
the air by machinery were not comple
mented by our eflorts to get our lives up
in the same way, we might not find
much fault with them ; but in truth, the
tendency everywhere is to get up in the
world without climbing. Yearnings
after the infinite are in the fashion. As
pirations for eminence even ambition
for usefulness are altogether in advance
of the willingness for tlie necessary pre
liminary discipline and work. The
amount of vaporing among young men
and young women, w ho desi re to do some
thing which somebody else is doing
something Tar in advance of their pre
sent powers is fearful and most la
mentable. They are nut willing to climb
the stairway; they must go up in an
elevator. They are unable or unwilling
to recognize the fact that, in order to do
that very beautiful thing w hich some
other man is doing, they must go slowly
through the discipline, through the ma
turing process of time, through the pa
tient work which have made him w hat
he is, aud fitted him for his sphere of
life aud labor. . ,
- To get a high position without climb
ing to it, to win wealth without earning
it, to do fine work without the discipline
necessary to its performance, to be fam
ous, or useful, or ornamental without
preliminary cost, seems to be the uni
versal desire of the young.
. There are no surprises to the man who
arrives at-eminence legitimately. It is
entirely natural that he should be there,
and be is as much at home there, and as
little elated, as when he was working
patiently at the foot of the stairs. There
are heights above him aud be remains
humble and simple.
Preachments are of little avail, per
haps; but when one comes into contact
with so many men and women who put
aspiration in the place of perspiration,
and yearning for earning, and longing
for labor, he is tempted to say to them :
"Stop looking up, and look around you!
Do the work that first comes to you.
hands, and do it well. Take no upward
step until you come to it naturally, ami
have won the power to hold it. The tip,
in this little world, is not so very high,
and patient climbing will bring you to
it ere you are aware.

Indian housekeeping is at once very
simple and paradoxically complex. The
fact that all servants are on Ixiard
wages, from the moonshee, who takes a
temporary engagement as secretary or
tutor, down to the humblest puukah
wallah or grass-cutter, renders it com
paratively easy for a master to know
his expenses. But then t'ne.e 'is some
thing bewildering in the subdivision of
labor, in having to harbor tailors and
cobblers, washermen and watchmen,
and florists and sweepers. It is per
plexing to find that every servant so
well knows his or her pla-e that a
palki-bearer would scorn to fetch a
pitcher of water; that hereditary poultry-keepers
attend the hens; hereditarv
grooms the horses; aud that not a m-al

The families are usually large to
which scientific men belong. But the
number of their own children is com
paratively small.conli ruling the common
belief in a tendency to the extinction of
the families of men who work hard with
the brain. The results derived from the
study of heredity are apt to be dis
appointing, on account of the dillU-ulty
of obtaining good historical portraits.
Even the value of these is diminished
by the passion of distinguished per ns
for uniforms, wigs, robes, and .other
drajieries, which indicate their otlice,
but conceal the man. But there can
no doubt that certain families exhibit
remarkable intellectual abilities through
a course of several generations. Or this
the Darwin family afford a striking
illustration. Dr. Kras.nus Darwin, the
grandfather of the celebrated living
naturalist, was a phyician,physioogist,
and poet. His "Botanic Garden" had a
prodigious reputation in its day. The
ingenuity of his numerous writing is
remarkable. He was held iu high es
teem by his scientific friends, im-linling
such celebretie as Priestley and Watt,
and was a man of great vigor, humor
and geniality. In the second generation
his son, Charles Iarwlu, who diid at
the age -of twenty-one, had alieady
achieved an honorable di-linclion in
medical- science. Koliert Waring Dar
win, (the lather of the present harles)
was a physician of great provincial cele
ority, and a shrewd observer. Another
brother, Sir Francis Darwin, was origi
nally a physician, but for many years
lived in a secluded part of lhrbhire,
surrounded by animal oddities; half
wild pigs ran about the woods, tamed
snakes frequented the house, with other
curious appliances for the study of natu
ral history. The third generation is
illustrated" by the name of Charles Dar
win, "whom all scientific men reverence
and love, the simple grandeur of whose
conclusions is as remarkable as the mag
nitude -vd multifariousness of their
foundation." Another example of here
ditary intellectual aptitude is presented
by the Taylors of Ongar. Xiinierous
members of this family have shown a
.singular combination of literary talent,
artistic taste, mechanical faculty, ami
religious disposition.
Its founder, Isaac Taylor, went to
London with an ambition of an artist,
and became a reputable engraver. One
of his sous, Charles Taylor, was a learned
recluse, and edited Calmet's "Dictionary
of the Bible." Another, the I'ev. Isaac
Taylor, Was the author of several edu
cational works, and in the third genera
tion", bis son, Isaac Taylor, author of the
'Natural History of Enthusiasm," and
other works, has been distinguished a
a writer of peculiar subtlety of thought,
and variety"of learning. His sister,
Ann Taylor and Jane Taylor, are well
known for their contributions to juve
nile literature. The character of the
family is ampiv sustained irr the fourth j

know how it was so.
