To a Oontenwnoe always expressive of a oettain :refinement, often of great beauty and almost never coarse, angular r hard, he joins a physiqne the thinnest and most attenuated over found com patible with locomotion and the oral control of a muscular system. legs are spindles, his arms much like flattened sticks somewhat enlarged at the artioula tions. Of stomach he usually has about as much as birds of the Urane species are remarkable for, and Is seldom dis posed to undue enlargement in the region of the waistband. His shoulders are thin and sharp, and if he stoops slightly, it need not necessaril be rp. garded as' an indication elhdr of scholarship or disease of the lungs. His complexion is seldom fair, and gen erally of a nqt unhandsome swarthiness, though sometimes apprQaching a hue that, by the present opinionef prejudiced mank d, is not exactly a society color. But I have never seen a Cuban with what we call a " dumb " face or anun Jntelligent eye. This man is the born dandy. He wears jewelry like a woman and like a woman s. He pinches feet that are small enough naturally into agonizing shoes. He wears collars monstrous in size or ridiculous in smallness, with shirts of dazzling colors and cuts so very decollete that you may observe the sharp ends of his collar-bones and the very bottom of his thin throat. At the date of this writing he goes about the streets with pantaloons that hang upon his little legs like bags, and flap and yaw in the breeze. His coat seems to have been made for a taller man, whereas a year ago it had a tendency to creep up ward toward the back of his neck. But the centerpiece and glory of his costume is his hat. Where such fashions in headgear as he delights himself with really have their origin I know not. As the climate is warm, and seemingly for that reason, the hat is narrow, black, heavy and shaped like an inverted stove kettle, This man sonetimes attends a ball in a black dress suit, a white neck tie and a green shirt. A Cuban town is full of such figures, and few of them are, by any chance, at work at anything. Born in a slave country, the presunWtive, probable or actual heir to a share in some sngar plantation, or if not, living by his wits or upon his relations, the yroung Cubans imagines that his destiny is to ornament the tropics ; to be a thing of beauty, and kill time while he is f~htis elegantly occupied.---Oubani .The Baby Smile. - Whether a man or woman is any richer for ha'ving a beautiful sm'ile, may be a mooted point; but one thing cer tain, the world is ri'cher for it. -There is * nothing more potent for good; no such inestimable blessing to others, as the warm, intelligent smile. Every one, probably, can recall some one whose smile seems to open the paradise of a loving heart, and invite admission. And yet such smiles are rare, scarcely one person im a hundred reaching the acme of perfection in this respect. The per 3.sop who smiles is not always a laughter. Indeed, the smile is not the true indica tion of humor at all. It rather reveals the genial and loving qualities of the heart. The person who smiles may also laugh, but it is because he combines a sense of humor with the warmth of genialty. The person is not only blest, but a blessing, who combines the two. Perhaps nothing in all the world is so beautiful as the smile of a child. Only grave babies smile. The majority of them bubble over in such madcap laughter, the remembrance of it is catch ing. But the recollection of the grave baby's smile seems somehow to bring theUL ears Jt one's eyes. The paring of the beautiful lips, the revealment of the white teeth closed, the slow emergence into life of the coy and half reluctant dimples and--note this (not the brighten ing of the eyes) but the slumbrous depth of inner feeling revealed by the softening and hanging over of these luminous windows of the gentle, reticent and lov ing young spirit.--Helen Wilmans. The Natural Bridge. The Natural Bridge property is now in the process of extensive improvement, * inceluding a fine hotel and other attrac. tions, which will make it at an early day a place of more general resort than ever, particularly for summer visitors. One notable change has already been made, which will be an agreeable surprise to the public; no charge is now made for look ing at the bridge, which seems to be in the line of the ancient tradition connect ed with the property, that Mr. Jefferson, who was the first owner (it having been first surveyed and patesited in his name) intended to dedicate it to the public as free to all visitors. According to the tradition, there was a provision in the 'will to that effect ; but this is a mistake, as the writer has ascertained by an in spection of it and of a deed of convey ance on record in Rockbridge county. The first charge made for looking at the bridre was 25 cents, then.50 cents, and finally $1. At the former prices it was a source of considerable incoxxne, but $1 was more thtan the public 'were willing to stand, and, like the last pound, broke the camel's back. The consequence was * that for two or three years past the in.. * come has been very inconsiderable. 4mnehburgVirginian. Women and the Telegraph.

And when the temptation comes 81 to them in the shape of honor and h emolument, they are too often ready to 4 profess the do iWant opons, and asbandon, not indeed th i belief, but o the external marks by which that belief P is made public. Every man who takes C this step is a hypocrite; and every gov. o ernment which encourages this step to J be taken is an abettor of h ocrisy and - a creator of hypocrites. We, therefore, a may we say that when a government holds out as a bait, that those who pro- -6 fess certain opinions shall enjoy certaift V privileges, it plays the parts of the e tempter of old and, life the evil one, o basey offers te good things of this world to him who will change his wor ship and deny his faith. At the same a time, and as a part of this system, the in- h crease of perjury has accompanied f, theincreaseof hypocrisy. Forlegislators, plainly seeinf that proselytes thus ob tained could not be relied upon, have t met the danger by the most extraordi- ! nary precautions; and compelling men to confirm their belief by repeated oaths, t have thus sought to protect the old creed C against the new converts. It is this sus picion as to the motives of others which a has given rise to oaths of every kind and in every direction. In England even the boy at college is forced to swear about matters which he cannot understand, and which far riper minds are unable to L master. If he afterwards goes into par liament, he must again swear about his religion; and a6 nearly every stage of political life he must take fresh oaths; h the solemnity of which is often strangely d contrasted with the trivial functions to which they are the prelude. A solemu adjuration of the Diety being thus made 0 at every turn, it has happened, as might 1 have been expected, that oaths, enjoined P as a matter of course, have at length de- IX generated into a matter of form. What d is lightly taken is easily broken. And O the best observers of English society- 1 observers, too, whose eharacters are very a different, and who hold the most opposite c opinions--are all agreed on this, that perjury habitually practiced in England, and of which government is the immedi-. ate creator, is ao general that it has be. ti come a source of national corruption, I has diminished the value of human testi-. a mnony, and shaken the confidence which I men naturally place in the word of their 0 fellow creatures. Egbert and Nogbert. e " Prithee ?" li "'Sdeath !" 0 Two fierce and slightly intoxicated u knighta of the Red Cross had met In the a midde of a wide lane leading to the si frowning castle of Sir Philip De Lanci- " foliunm Catnin. it Both had recently returned from the TJ Crusades, where they had been tempo rarily engaged in a hurrah with the Bar acens. There were several gallons of bad blood between these twq haughty " kniights, for, as luck would have it, they le both loved the same girl. Human na- ci ture has changed but little in the six o hundred dust years which have rolled C away since the ovents herein recorded occurred in Mellow Old England. Of those chivalric d a nothing is left but mellow old Englihmen. The gid ~ young thing in question was Lady iol a Catnip, only daughter of Sir Philip. l She was a daisy. So Egbert said "Prithee 1" And Nogbert said "'Sdeath 1' This meant business. Egbert laid his lance in rest, and swung his glittering .battle-ax on high.1 Nogbert followed suit, and they rushed upon each other like hungry boardersl breaking for the dining-room. This ter rible matinee occurred at 8:30 p. in., on a cool day in the latter part of Decem ber. The two knights fought until sun- 1' down. Then they retired to sheltered i nooks on each side of the lane, muttered E a few appropriate last words, wound2 t When the sun arose on the following i morn, the Lady Viola ambled slowly co down the lane on a white paifrey. She arrived at the stamping ground, and saw the dead knights disposed in negligentk attitudes near the hedge. Horror stricken she gazed from one cold, pulse- k less corpse to the other cold, pulseless L corps. Then she paused to ejaculate : . "Oh, Egg, this is terrible ! Oh, Nog, eio this 'breaks me quite all but too up ! " Dead!i And for the paltry love of poor I me!I Alas ! What can I do to con done my unfortunate crime ?" At this instant a black friar who had t been stealing chickens during the night, * slid out of the hedge. The poor girl saw him and fell on her knees. "0O, Father !" she cried, " what can I do to condone my sin ?" " Give the church ?2,000,000." " Haven't got the 'ilders." ci "Put a memorial window in ther chapel."t "Can't afford it." "Well, then ; name,,something aftei them in their memory." For a few moments the maiden turned away her classic head in thought.

The mamn oth tree has been estimated to live 000 years in California. De Candolle iotes a number of instances of longevity the yew, and Endlicher considers one Derbyshire to be 2,096 years old, and to one at Grasford, in North Wales, 400 years old. The pines, cypress, firs, rches and cedars are credited with ~es of 200, 800 and even 500 years. icea 200 feet in height is mentioned by oeppert, as ascertained by its annular ngs, to be 460 years old, and a larix of 10 feet to be 576 years old, The Scotch ne (Pinus sylveetus) is safd to require )0 years to mature its timber to perfec in.

In the morning he had but little appetite, but was apparently well in other reet n a few days, howver, he began to feel restless and morbid, although he tried earnestly to overcome the feeling which had taken possession of him. But try as he would the shadow of some evil seemed to follow him and he was conscious of a gradual sinking and wasting away of all his physical faculties. He had been an earnest and diligent worker, and in lile beal frequently overtaxed his sftength, and bein absorbed in his duties failed to observe thecommon symptoms with which he was afflicted, thus permitting the work of destruction to go on unheeded. But the end nally came in a most peremptory maner. Shortly before his death he wrote a letter-th last one he ever indited--n which he speaks as follows: "A belief that death is near affects different mtnds diferently, but probably all who are in a fair condition of physcal and mental strength instinotively shrink from It with an Indefinable dread anda horror. A dying man is no more able of him self to foresee his own destiny or the destiny fthose he leaves than he was before he began The recent sad and sudden death of Hon. Clarkson N. Potter Is one of the most serious warnings ever given in the long list of innumer able cases of fatal neglect. It is not suclefft to say that many other brilliant men Including Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wood, *iison and Carpenter, were swept away iy the same fatal trouble. The question is, wore these men suf ticiently careful of their health, antecould they have been saved? The Albany ' Argue, In speaking of Mr. Potter's sudden Illness and death, says : "One of the, physicians who attended Mr. Potter here was ewed last evening. He stated that Mr. otter's inability to converse had for some time served to baffle the physi cians in their eforts to determine the root of his illness. It seems, however, that Mr. Potter, some two years ago, suffered a Alight attack of kidney disease. Unwise dependence upon a robust constitution and naturally perfect health, and neglect of proper clothing, doubtless sowed tho seeds of a disease that needed but some such personal neglect as that of Tuesday morning to develop. From the symptoms at first shown, it was thiought that his only trouble was nervous prostration; but his long contin uanco m a semi-unconscious state led to the belief that his illness was seated in a chronic difficulty more mysterious and dangerous." Up to the latter part of last year Mr. Edward F. Rook a member of the New York stock ex change, was dong business In Wall street, New York. He had everything to encourage him, and make life happy, but was the victim of unaccountable uneasiness. His experience as described by one who knew, was as follows: " At unexpected times, and on occasions when he had the greatest reason to feel joyous, he I was irritable and haunted with strange feelings of discontent. He endeavored. to check these feelings and appear pleasant, but it required a great effort to do so ; after which he would again relapse into his formier morbid mood. This feeling conitiniued for a number of months, when he became conscious of an added sensation of lassitude. He was tired even when resting, and although experiencing no acute pain, had dull achmng sensations in his limbs and various parts of his body. Shortly afterward hit head began to ache most frequently and his stomach failed to digest properly. Being told that he was suf tormg. from malaria he consulted an eminent physician, who informed him that his kidneys we rs slightly effected, and gave him medicine to restore them. But he grew worse instead of beitter. He then consulted other eminent doc tors of another school and was Informed that he had a brain difficulty somewhat In the nature of a tumor, but in spite of all efforts to the contrary he continued to grow worse. At this time his condition was terrible. What were at first simple symptoms had developed to terrible troubles. He was flushed and feverish, con stantly uneasy, and yet always weary. He had an intense appetite one day and very little the next. His6 pulse was irregular, his breathing labored, and every moment of existence was a burden. These disastrous synmptoms continued his face and body becante discolored, his heard was irregular in Its action, and his breath came In short, convulsive gasps. He gr'ew constantly worse, notwithstanding the utmost precautions. of his friends and finally died in the geatesti agony. After his death an examination as toi Its actual cause was made, when his brain was{ found to be ini a perfect condition, and the reason of his decease was of an entirely differ ent nature." The er periences which have been cited above all had -a common cause and were each the result of one diagpase. That disease, which so deceitfully, .yet surely removed the people above m Rtioned was Bright's disease of the; kidneys. In the case of Mr. Rook the examina tion after death, while showing the brain to be In perfect condition, revealed the terrible fact thiat he was the victim of a slight kidney trouble, which had gone on unchecked, until it resulted in acute Briht's disease. The leading physicians and scientists of the world are fast i learning that more than one-half the deaths ' which occur are caused by this monstrous t ucourge. It is one of the most deceitful mala- C lies ever known h the human race. It mani rests itself by syn~toms so slight and common, us to seem unworthy of at'ention ; and yet these very insignificant symptoms are the rart stages of the worst complaint known ni the history of the world. Thousands of people have died from troubles that are called treart disease, apoplexy, pneumonia, brain fever, and similar diseases, when It was, in fact Bright's disease of dhe kidneys. The ravages f this disease has been greatly Increased from 2 bhe fact that until recent 'years no way was known to prevent Its beginning nor checking ts increase when It had become once fixed upon the system. Within' the past two years, how ver, we have learned of more than four hun Ired p~rononced cases of Bright's disease, miany of them much worse than those above I clescribed, and most of whom had been given 'v up~ by prominent physicians, who havp been r 3mpletely cured. The means used to accom plish this end has been Warner's Safe Kidney mnd ,Liver Cure, manufactured In Rochester, RI. Y., a remedy that has won Its way Into the 3onfidence of the public solely upon the re rnarkable merits it possesses. As a result, it s more widely used and thoroughly praised L ~han any medicine which has ever been beforl y ~he American public. Indeed, there is not a hrug store in the entire land where It cannot efound. .Although Bright's disease is so common In uities, It Is still more prevalent In the country. WVhen eminent physicians In the largest cities are not able to recognize Bright's disease, it is mly natural that In the countryj where there tre few physicians of any kind, and those few o unacquainted with the disease as to call It y some other name, it should rage terribly and ret unknown to the ones who are suffering vith It. Thousands of people can look back rnd recall the death of friend f rom what was g upposed to be some common complaint, when s t was really Bright's disease, AND Nio oWE ENwwb T.

(17.1 A few years ago it was the fashion among a certain clique of politicians, whose utterances were echoed by a por tion of the press, to clamor for the removal of the Capitol from Washington to some representative Western city near to the geographical centre of the coun try. The topic seemed to prove a seven days' wonder, however, and was soon forgotten in the rush, and requirements of the Nation's urgent business. Now whether the Capitol will Sver be re moved of not is not near so interesting a question to some people as whether rheumatism can or will be retnoved from their bodies. The subject of the remnoval of this disease from'the system has very successfully interested myriads of people, and from the extended expressions con veyed by the almost innumerable state ments received from representatives of every class of the community, we append the following brief selectiour-premising for the benefit of the reader that the dis.. ease referred to is rheumatism or neural gia and the remedy is that grand old pam panacea.-.St. Jacobs Oil. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Gilmour, Cleveland, Ohio : " Excellent for Bheumatism and kindred diseases. It has beiaefltted me greatly." Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago:- " Has been used in my family and neighborhood with remarkable re~ suilts. an I think it an excellent remedy." John Carr Mood, Esq., Counsellor-at Law, Vallejo, Oaf. : " The relief afforded in a short time was such as to make me disregard the evidence of my own senses." Capt. Paul B~ovnton, the World Renowned Swimmer : " I do not see how I could get along without St. Jacobs Oil." Mr. D. W. McDonald, Sergeant at-Arms of the House of Commons, Ottawa, Can. : " A splendid remedy; cured rheumatism of my wrist and hand." Commander J'. B. Cohlan, U. S. N., Mare Island, Cal.: "Complete and won derful cure of most painful attacks of rheumatism." Win. H. Wareing, Esq., Asst. General Supt. New Yorki Postoffice: "Proved all that is claimed for the Oil and found efficacious. Ready relief for rheumatic pains." Ex-Post master Gen.
