Pearls of Thought.
He that rises late hurries through the i
day.
Example has more influence than au- !
thority.
Let a lie alone, and it will run itself to !
death.
Complainers are always loud and clam- j
orous.
Keep the horrors at arm's length.
Never turn a blessing round to see j
whether it has a dark side to it.
Whosoever pays a visit that is not de- !
sired, or talks longer tlun the hearer is ;
willing to attend, is guilty of an injury '
wmcn ne cannot repair and takes ?away i1
that which lie cannot give.
"Winter, which strips the leaves from
around lis, makes us see the distant re- |
gions they formerly concealed ; so does I
old a?C rob us of our enjoyments, only |
to enlarge the prospect of eternity be- 1
fore us.
He that uever changed any of his
opinions, never corrected any of his mis- |
takes; and he who was never wise !
enough to find out any mistakes in i
himself, will not be charitable enough i
to excuse what he reckons mistakes in i
others.
With many persons the early age of j1
life is passed in sowing in their minds
the vices that are most suitable to their
inclinations; the middle age goes on
nourishing and maturing these vices; |
and the last ago concludes in gathering, ;
in pain and anguish, the bitter fmits of 1
the most accursed seeds. I
Do not imagine that the npppearance
of sadness indicates sanctity; it may ,
mean hypocrisy. To conceal one's own ;
crip in for flip krIcp nf r-11 pprni p others be
tokens a self-denying' sympathy which is 1
the highest kind of Christianity. Let !
us present the sacrifice of praise in
whatever company we may be. !
Idleness, as has been truly said, is the j
mother of crime; and it is the true road j
to poverty. We are all so constituted j
that our minds must be employed. Per- i
sons brought up idleness and luxury 1
often acquire bad habits, which they
never can throw off through life, and
which aid in premature death. The as
sociations iu life are various, and all
ought to be employed in some useful ,
calling, and to faithfully discharge the
duties of tliatj?alling.
Take this wise lesson. Aspire to the ,
high places, and leave those you now j
have for other beginners. Aspire, but;
remember that you shall win them only j
by present conteut, and by doing well ;
what you have in hand. You reach j
them only because you have more than
filled vour present place. If, because !'
you think yourself too good or too big i
for, you decline its duties, you will sim- ;
ply demonstrate your unfitness for it; j
the shrinkage will slip into a smaller 1
place. j
Some clear-headed fellow Bays there is
but one road to happiness and prosperity, ;
for either individuals or a nation, and
that is economy and a faithful persistence j
in the legitimate paths of business. The j
riches that come in an honr do more '
harm than guod. Honce we call upon
all good people to stay the tide of wild
excess. Let man be frowned upon in
society where ho is living beyond his
means. Let all true and noble women ;
express their disgust at the extravagance I
aud indecent display of the followers of ,
fashion. And so * shall the nation be
saved from the millstone that lias drag- j
gal over republics to destruction; 60 ! f
shall our young men tiud larger and no- 1
bier devotion than that of money, and
modesty and dignity shall not wholly de- i
sert English womanhood.

At the Prussian Court. j t
We find the followiug in the autobio- 11
graphical recollections of Sir John Bow- | J
ring : I -went to Lord William Russell, j1
our ambassador, expecting that he would j f
accompany me and aid me in surmount- ; j;
inc the difficulties which, in courts bo
formal as those of Germany, always at- J
tend the stranger. To my surprise, he :!'
said that neither he nor any of the for- i v
eign ministers hnd ever been invited to F
dine with the king, it being a traditional
couusel of Frederick the Great, still ob- c.
served at court, not to allow foreigners ^
to meddle with the affairs of the royal v
family. Lnrd William added that he saw v
him only once a year, and then but for c
five minutes, while even his ministers ?
rarely got at him. People waited three ,
mouths for an audience, and the king :
spent half his time with dancers and bal- i
let-girls. I went to Potsdam, and hap- ?
pily found Humboldt at court. I was 1
the sole Englishman introduced. 11
The king a?ked me how I liked Berlin, ' 8
and said he had heard of my reputation : P
from Humboldt. Soon came in the a
queen of Bavaria, the Princess Liegnitz, P
the Princess Royal, and other princesses, j 8
and some pretty children, among whom ? '
was the son of the heir to the crown, a 11
lad of ten or twelve. At about six we were ?
summoned to the theater in the palace' I
which was superbly fitted up and filled
with guests invited by the king?some ; u
sixty or seventy persona. All the great w
actors of Berlin were there, but the bal- j ?
let, which was the king's hobby, was | A
specially good, and one part of it truly j a
amusing. There were forty or fifty little j ?
children, four or five years old, playing j'
the parts of men and women, and some j.
did it adnyrably. One child, who was a i u
graudmother, was perfect, and there 8
was a good love scene, and an after- j *
mStrimony scone between a boy and a
girl not over six years old. | P
The soldiers with mustaches, the sap- 11
pers with long beards, the j)ostillious in \ P
their boots aud with their tails, the law- 8j
vers in their gowns, etc., were a mourir rj
ac rirc. ineiULigs umaer was uaiise ,
any I had ever seen. Iu the center of .
the room was a table where the royal |
family t))k their seats while, aronud it ^
were miuy other tables, arranged as at P
a Freneh re3tauraut, the most distin- P
guished guest-5 being near enough to Bl
hold conversation with the royal family. *
The waiters wfre Chinamen, weariug
their native costume, whom- the king
told me he had imported-to take charge
of his gardens, but the project not having
succeeded, he had turned them to '
other account. t

Interesting Facts about the Chinese, ij
There are said to be four thousand
characters used in the Chinese Bible,
but of these not more than one-third of
the number are in constant use. About
onc-tifth of. the latter number, from their
frequent occurrence, constitute the great
body of the Bible. Five-sixths of the
entire work is made up of one-eighth of
the whole number of characters. Of the ;
vast population of that densely crowded I
empire, wonvm and children constitute
a large proportion, aud these cannot
read. In the country districts, not more |
than one-third of the males can read, <
and perliapimot moie than one-fifth. In
the cities it is estimated that seven- i
tenths of the males are readers ; so that, i
on the whole, the male population may
be regarded us a reading people. According
to late statistics, there is one !
missionary in China to every two mil- i
lions of its four hundred millions of inhabitants.
The number of Christians '
in China is now increasing six-fold every [
ten years. j
A Hat Stolen from a Man's Head, i

gentleman from the country had his new '

and a shocking bad one substituted in j
its stead by a shrewd thief. While look-,1
ing in the shop windows some one came 1
up behind him, and gave his hat a tilt, !'
as he thought, and he paid no attention j?
to the rudeness. He strolled down to | *
the post office, and there discovered tm
his surprise that his own hat was gone, ;
and that he hail on his head a dilapidated '
tile. The police could not find the fel- ;

The Turkish Minister of War.
The pasha of Bagdad is the despotic
ruler of the largest and most important
province in Turkey. He has the command
of a large army which is stationed
at Bagdad and other towns within his
pashalic, which is bounded on the east
and south by the Persian frontier and
the Gulf. More than once ambitious I
men holding this position, so remote
from the home government, have been
suspected- of designs to render themselves
independent sovereigns?a design
which was successfully accomplished in
1830?by Mohammed Ali, pasha of
Egypt. At the time of my visit to Bagdad,
says a writer in Scribners Magazine,
the governor was the present
Turkish minister of war, Redif Pasha, a
successful general and a man of unquestioned
energy and ability. Once while I
waB in Bagdad, he had an opportunity to
bIiow his power as a despotic ruler, and
tie acted with nerve and energy worthy
of all praise.. The Tigris, which had
been on tL>e rampage for two months, at
last broke through the dirkes some ten
miles above the city, and the torrent
sweeping down with irresistible force,
ilid great damage to the crops, and in a
single day turned thg broad plain at the
back of the city into an immense lake.
Ihe water was only kept from flowing
into the city by an embankment
outside the walls, which in many places
was out of repair. Great fear was felt
of such au inundation as occured in 1831
?the year of the pleagiTe?when seven
thousand houses fell in a single day.
Here was an emergency calling for
rvmrarif a/>finr? Tlio noclm ieaiiPil Jill
arder closing all the bazars anil shops,
!md for four days impressed the whole
male popiilation (foreigners excepted) to
svork on the dirkee. Half the force was
*eut up the river, and the balance set to
work to repair the embankments around
she city. I rode out in that direction
sue morning, and witness a lively scene.
Several thousand men were at work, and
;he paaha himself was on the spot, surrounded
by a brilliantly unilormed staff,
superintending the operations. These
energetic measures saved the city. The
break in the dike up the river was stopped,
and the water gradually subsided.
Upon my entrauce to the audienceroom
of the pasha I found him seated at
;he furl her end of the apartment, near a
arge table covered with papers, and as I
entered he rose find advanced toward me, i
shook hands, and courteously motioned
ne to a Beat beside him. He is a large
nan, tall and quite portly, perhaps fortyive
years old, with a fuli face, brown
>eard, and eyes sharp and piercing. His
Iress was entirely European, except the
rcz, without even a. button to indicate
lis rank. His countenance indicates !
mergy and firmness, and his manners I
ire courteous and pleasing. Several |
officers of rank standing near were pre- j
sen ted to me, but no one was seated i
iicept the pasha and myself. As he j
spoke only Turkish and Arabic, Mr. '
stanno, a "Levantine in the seavice of the j
government, was summoned to act as interit
ter. Our conversation was necessarily
slow, but the questions and replies were
?ery readily translated, and I felt quite
it my ease. I found the pasha very indigent
as to the geography, and governnent
of foreigu countries, and he seemed
ullv to comprehend that Jtngiand ana
America were two distinct and separate
jountries. He offered me every facility
or seeing Bagdad, and said that, as I
vas the only American who had ever
risited him, he hoped I would receive a
avorable impression of the country.

How the Gallas Kill Panthers.
We. take the following from De Cosan's
"Cradle of the Blue Nile Wonlerful
stories are told of how the Galla
mnters capture the black panther, for
hey dare not meet it face to /ace with
heir spears, and therefore resort to
trategy. It is said that yheu the Galla
lunter* has discovered-the haunt of a
(lack panther he digs a round hole in
he ground some six feet deep, and just
arge enough for him to stand upright
a. He then gets into this hole, and
>iacing his round buffalo hide shield on
he top of it, so as to cover him entirely,
alls to the panther in a mocking voice,
laring it to come out of the jungle
rliere it is concealed. The panther,
rho is naturally a very passionate beast,
in hearing this defiance, immediately
ushes out and tries to get at the hunter
>y clawing at his shield, which covers
lie top of the hole where he is ensconced; j
tut the Galla holds tight, and then enues
a dialogue, or rather a monologue,
or though the panther is supposed to
nderstaud Galla, he only answers by
rowls. The hunter first abuses the
anther and then ridicules it, calling it
11 sorts of names, until the unfortunate
anther gradually works itself up into
uch a frenzy that it at last fairly dies of
age, and the hunter, emerging from his
ole. secures his skin. In confirmation
f this story, the Abyssinians declare
tiat when the black panther skins are
rouglit to market they never have any
larks of lance thrusts or sword cuts
pon them, as have the skins of other
nimals which are killed in the chase.
fancy the truth is that the panthers
re snared by a device which they often
se in Abyssinia for catching the spotted j
jopard. A running noose is firmly tied j
3 thaibrancli of a tree, and the branch i
? then bent down and attached to a j
take in the ground iu such a way that |
nything moving the noose will set it j
ree ; a kid or a piece of meat is then j
laced behind the noose, which iB care- j
illy concealed among the leaves and
laced in such a way that the leopard in !
pringing at his prey will pass through
lie noose. Of course, he becomes en- j
ingled in it, the movement sets free the ;
ranch, which flies up, and the leopard, j
istead of eating the poor little kid '
whose feelings must lie anything but !
leasant), suddenly finds himself sub- i
ended in the air, where his struggles !
oon cause the running noose to tighten 1
ound hiiu, and he is eas:ly killou jy the j
tinters.
Scurifltj Away the Eclipse.
Soon after my arrival at Bagdad, says
writer in ticribncr, on the evening of
he first day in May, as we were dining
n the terrace, we were startled by a
uost terrific diu. We then noticed that
here wok a nearly total eclipse of tlio
noon, and upon consulting an English
ilmanac we found that it would be " invisible
at Greenwich, but a total eclipse
n Australia and some parts of Asia." !
[*he tumult increased, and soon the 1
vhole population seemed to have astembled
on the house tops, armed with ;
jots, pans and kitchen utensils, which j
!iey beat with a tremendous clatter, at
;he same time screaming and howling at ;
;he top of their voices. Frequent re- ;
sorts of guns and pistols added to the
;urmoil, which was kept up for nearly j
in hour, until they had succeeded in :
rightening away the "jin," or evil I
spirit, who had caught hold of the moon, j
[t was a most amusing scene, although !
It interfered seriously with the success ;
if our dinner. Our own servants caught i
the excitement, and deserted the table j
fvithout ceremony. Our host told us j
;he next day that they well nigh knocked
the bottoms out from all his kitchen
utensils. It was, however, a complete
mccess, and when our servants returned
to their duty, the moon was shining
brichtlv as fiver, and imon their faces
O %J , ' * ? ?4 j
tvas an air of complacent satisfaction.
Her Views.?A Bpiteful woman, who |
sv-fts suspected of not making her hue- j
band supremely happy, asked an elderly j
spinster to express her " views of single
ind married blessednesswhereupon j
the latter wrote :

The Astor Family.
A New York correspondent writes:
One of the oddities of tne city is an old
gentleman who boards at Leggett's Ho- ,
tel (near Printing House square), and
who is now one of our oldest residents, j
I refer to William "Wallace Bruce, who <
for a half century was in the service of I
the Astor family. He is almost the only 1
person who can remember old John 1
Jacob Astor as a business man. He
served as collector of rents for many yearB i
and can tell many interesting incidents i
if he chose, but his hps are sealed 1
against all disclosures. Mr. Bruce is '
the oldest bachelor in New York. He is
now four score, and has a handsome com- ]
potency. Reporters often call on him
for information, but are invariably un- 1
successful, since he will not allow him
self to be interviewed, He may be con- i
sidered one of the relics of a former age,
who has outlived all the associates of
life, and now lingers among a community
in which he iB really a stranger.
Mr. Brace can remember the time
when William B. Astor was a young
man, but he has lived to see the two
sons of the latter divide their immense
estate, thus creating two grand principalities.
Their offices are side by side
in Prince street, where the business has
been managed for a half century. Such
a spectacle has never been seen before
in America?two brothers, each with
forty millions, with adjoining offices and
sets of clerks. They only thing they
hold in common is the little brick land
office which contains the maps, searches
* **>/] 1\a1 ahnri?Ia fli?tlr T10_ 1
auu uuici wv/ vxiv*a uutural
interests. Each lias an immense
fire-proof *eafe in this office, which is
said to be specially guarded at night.
These safes probably hold a larger
amount of government bonds than any
other establishment in America. In a
religious point of view these brothers
are Episcopalians, John Jacob being a
vestryman of Trinity Church. He is
about five years older than William, but
is not so much given to display. The
difference between the brothers in this
point is shown by the fact that John
Jacob's office bears no name, while the
adjacent one has a showy gilt sign which
reads: "William Astor." This is the
first time in sixty years that the Astor
name (of this family) has been put on a
j sign board.
Alphabetic Curiosities.
The Protean nature of the vowel J
Bounds is familiar to all. A few amusing
examples will show that the conso- .
nants are nearly as bad :
B makes a road broad, turns the ear to
a bear and Tom into a tomb.
C makes lime climb, hanged changed,
a lever clever and transports a lover to
clover.
D turn a bear to bread, a crow to a
crowd and makes anger danger.
F turns lower regions to flower
regions.
G changes a son to a song and makes
oue gone!
H changes eight into height.
K makee now known and eyed keyed.
L transforms a pear into a pearl.
N turns a line into linen, a crow to a

P metamorphoses lumber into plumber.

An Uncommonly Sharp Fox.
The Somerset (Me.) Reporter is responsible
for the following story : The
fox which Mr. Fairgrieves now has occupies
a yard back of the store, to which
Mr. Fairgrieve's dog has free access.
The dog and fox are great friends.
They frolic together, play "no end " of
jokes on each other, and live in the most c
perfect harmony, save At "meal time." t
The discu sion that a choice bit will call J
forth is' sometimes most interesting, j
Mr. Fuirgrieves gave the fox a bone the q
other day. The dog had been taught by I
experience that it was no use for him to I
try to capture it, so he retired into the 8
store to watch the .proceedings, doubt- ?
less hoping something would turn up in t
his favor. The fox ate what he wanted v
of the bone and preferred to lay it away E
for future use. The dog pricked up liis
ears, but yawned and betrayed no ?
especial interest. The fox dug a deep ^
hole, placed the juicy bone in the bot- 0
torn, and, covering it over with earth, /
" putted " it down. He then went into c
his kennel, brought out an old dry bone a
that he had kept away from the dog for ?
several days " out of pure cussedness," 0
placed it in the hole over the sweet one, v
covered it up with apparent care, and '
retired to his kennel to watch operations. r
The dog saw the fox safely housed, and, a
as he had done before, stealthily ap- f
proached the treasure, resurrected the d
dry bone and trotted off.
Pugnaelonn Barbers. "
A fend between two barbers. Tuttle I
and Bingham, in South Boston, lias 11
ended in nonsense and gunpowder, but
not in blood. They met at City Point by ^
the light of the moon. Fifty persons j
on the gronnd; seconds were chosen; the y
principals doffed hats and coats; the dis- *
tance was marked off, and the duellists ^
stood face to face, when it was discovered
that the weapons had been forgotten.
To go to a house of a neighbor and
secure two large pistol3 that had not
been loaded for many a month, was the
work of but afew moments. C aps were
placed upon the unloaded pistols, and
theu all was rea-lv. One of the spectators
loaded a small pistol of his own with
powder, and secretly crept* up behind
Bingham. The word " fire " was given, j
both caps snapped, aud at the same in- j
stant the man behind Bingham dis- f
charged his weapon. Bingham, on hear- 1
iug the discharge, supposed himself to !
be shot, and fell to the ground. On see- $
ing him fall, some of the spectators set ?
up a cry that he was shot, whereupon i
his opponent took to his heels, leaving *
his hat and coat on the ground.
The French as Bread Enters. ]
The French are' great bread eaters, j
writes Lucy Hooper, and it is an amus- (
ing sight to watch the baker arranging ]
in a high basket, in shape like a waste (
paper basket, the great long clubs or 1
sticks in which the commoner kinds of j
bread are baked. These clubs are thick ,
enough and hard enough to serve for of- <
fensive or defensive weapons on occasion, i
I Bliould think. At the commoner and
cheaper classes of French boarding
houses the palates of American boarders
are often painfully impressed by seeing
the daily bread in this guise stood up in
a corner with the umbrella, -while an un- '
kempt waiter is engaged in the task of J
sweeping out the dining-room. Or else ]
one sees stout old women going along ]
with their stick of bread tucked lightly ]
and compactly under one arm, which in [1
this hot weather is not altogether an ap- '
petizing sight. Generally, however, the ;
purchaser of a single stick carries it over <
his or her shoulder, like a cane or an um- <
brella.
It is estimated that 20,000 oil wells !

Brigbani Young, hoad of the Mormon Church,
lied at Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, on
nigust 29. He was born at Whittenhaiu, Vt,
une 1, 1801, aud was consequently seventy-six j
ears of age at the timo of his death. Bis j
ather was a farmer, who had served in the war
if the^revolution, and Brighani's youth and
arly manhood were passed on his father's
arm. When thirty-one years old Brigliam for
he first time heard Samuel H. Smith preach
he doctrines which afterward shaped his future
ourse in life. In September, 1832, Brigham,
rho had already been baptized, joined the
ilormon community at Kirtland, Ohio, where.
>y his shrewdness and enthusiasm, he speedily
;ained a commanding position among his asso
il&teB. jlu 1000 uu wus uruaiiicu uuu ui mo
welve apostles of the church, and when tho
welve were sent throughout the ountry to
ireach Mormonism, Brigham traveled in the
Eastern States, and was tho most successful
>reacher of them all. In 1839 Brigham was
lent bv the prophet Smith to England, where
le made thousands of converts anu established
l Mormon newspaper and a number of
jhurcheu. In 181 i the Mormon head, Joseph
tahh, was shot while Brigham was in Boston.
Smith's successor, Sidney ftigden, assumed the
nautle of the prophet aud began to dictate to
he saints in every way, when Brigham sudlenly
appeared, denounced Rigden, and was
limself elected the Mormon ruler by a heavy |
najority. Immediately upon bis succession,
Srigham began a sjvtom of rewards and pun- j
sliments that soon inspired unbounded love in
he hearts of his friends and fear among his j
memies. In 1810, in the middlo of winter,
Eirigham and his followers migrated from their
juarters in Missouri in search of a new home
imong tho ltocky Mountains. With one hunIred
and forty-three men he reached Salt Lake
>n July 24, 1847. On Decombor '24, 1847 he was

ind t ien he led the rent of liin congregation to
;heir now quarters iu Utah, where they suffered
a good deal dnring tho next two years,
[n 1850 the Mormons desired admission to the
[Juion, and drew up a constitution of a State.
Congress granted them a territorial governxient,
and President Fillmore appointed Brig- j
nam the lirat governor. In 185-1 & governor
who was not a Mormon was appointed, and
;his led to many excesses and cruelties by tho
yiormons, the most revolting of which was the
fountain Meadow massacre, for taking a
prominent part iu which 'John D. Lee was
recently shot. It was not until the Salt Lake
jolonyhad been fairly Btarted that Brigliam j
proclaimed the- " celestial law of marriage," j
which sanctioned polygamy. There was somo !
opposition to tho establishment of polygamy at
irst, but as the innovation chimed in" with the
Irishes and inclinations of a great majority, the |
opposing faction soon were compelled to' sue- j
:umb. During later years Brignain has kept
on increasing in power among the Mormons.

ind accumulated a large fortune. It is said
ihat there is hardly a city or town in the region
occupied by the Mormons in which he doeH
