As the season of final examinations and graduation exercises is in full blast, many of our readers may be interested in the following composition which has been handed us by one of our education? al friends. It is credited to a spirited young lady of a Georgia High School, and was read before a large audience, with marked effect. Although the sub? ject is rather uninviting at first glance, the youthful writer, who was remarkable for her naivete, was rapturously applaud? ed, and her effort considered the most popular of the day, in spite of being somewhat entomological. Here it is: What horrid things flies are ! Every? body hates them because they always give us so much annoyance just when we are most anxious not to be annoyed. They seem to be intended specially to worry us in this life and make us more ready for an exchange to somethiug bet? ter when the time comes for us to leave it. The Bible does not tell us that there are any flies in Heaveu, but speaks of it as a place of perfect happiness; and this could not possibly be true if any flies are to be found there. It tells us, though, that when the people of Egypt were vis? ited with ten plagues as a punishment for their wickedness, one of these was the Elague of flies. They had flies in their ouses and temples, flies at the tops of the Pyramids and in the bottom of the wells, ies in their hair, and ears, and eyes, and faces, and uudersleeves, and hats, and bonnets, and chignons; flies buzzing around and biting them by day and by night; they could scarcely sec anything but flies, until at last some were blinded by them,'and thus partly comforted by not seeing them any more. They would dream about flies as long as it was possi? ble to sleep at all; on waking, the first sound was the music of ten million flies, steady and noisy as the chatter of a class of girls just before the tapping of the bell. Whenever two Egyptian girls wanted to kiss each other a fly was sure to come in the way. Whenever a flirta? tion was carried on, and the young man was about to say something very sweet, a fly brushed past and took it off the end of his tongue. Oh, what unhappiness! It makes one sigh to think of it. \ We are more blessed than those an? cient Egyptians, but we see enough of flies to know the tortures that must have been suffered from them. Who has not been waked at sunrise by a fly that want? ed to make friends with him, crawling delicately over his hands and face and neck, gazing into his ear, as if it were a picture gallery or a set of Madame Jar ley's wax figures, then suddenly buzzing off to alight upon his nose ? The sleeper awakes, but the suulight has no beauty for him just then, and he tosses his head to the other side to enjoy the rest of the happy dreams which had been so rudely interrupted. But. under a mistaken idea of devotion, the active fly "sticketh closer than a brother," and crawleth to the sec? ond picture gallery, with the intention of buzzing again to the guileless nose; then flirts off in time to escape the cor? dial slap that followed. Again the sleep? er awakes, but his dream is gone; and he cannot say his morning prayers, be? cause his frame of mind is too revengeful. Opening his Bible, he reads of "the wick? ed flea whom no man pursueth," and wonders why it was not written "the wicked fl>/' instead of the wicked flea. There are many different kinds of flies. Cross-eyed people, who love to study about strange things and dciight in hard words, give them a host of names that we girls cannot remember; names that make us think about the Greek alphabet, and the shorter catechism, and the Egyp? tian hieroglyphics, because we do not understand them very well. Common names have been given to some kinds though, for we all know of house-flies, blue-bottle flies, sand-flies, horse-flies, yellow-flies, shoo-flics and time-flies. Of all these kinds, the last is the one about which we hear most. The name that the cross-eyed people give it is "Tempus fugit;" I know this name, be? cause I heard ray teacher say it, and then call out "Time-flies." I looked around to see where they were ; but as I did not see them, they must be very small, and very swift when they are passing. Even their buzzing cannot be heard, and they do not bite ; yet they seem to be the very worst of all flies, or at least the grown people think so, if the girls do not. Whenever we want to sleep late on Sun? day morning our mothers wake us just at the wrong moment, talk about time-flies, and say the church-bell is ringing.? Whenever we arc drawing pictures upon ?ur slates, the teacher scowls at us, talks about time-flies, and asks if we know the arithmetic lesson. Whenever our older sisters have young gentlemen in the par? lor with them, they speak in a great hur? ry about time-flies, and tell us to go to bed ; but they never say a word about suck insects to the young gentlemen. Our fathers always seem uneasy, and 5ook at their watches, and whisper about time-flies during the sermon at church. Somehow they never do so at the dinner table, it is always the house-flies, or the shoo-flies, that they want to drive away then. I bare never known school girls to talk about time-flies, yet they do talk about a great many odd things. It is always the , grown people who seem to be troubled j about these insect creatures, while we | ourselves cannot perceive them. There-1 fore, time-flics must be like getting mar- j ried ; one must be grown up before it is >. proper Lo think about such tilings. Useful Knowledge.

The Stockings of the Period.?The Paris shops are full of the most fanciful designs in this one detail of feminine at? tire. They-are made in cream color, lemon color, orange yellow, straw color, pink, pale blue, pale green, lilac, light brown, dark brown, crimson, scarlet, purple?in short, in every shade of every color. But the precise tint is only half the question; the designs worked upon the stockings are by far the most impor? tant part of it, as regards fashion, and these are of the most varied description. One pair of stockings which excited much admiration from the passers of a certain well-known shop in Paris was in lemon color, and the instep of each foot was covered with bunches of black cur? rants, with their twigs and leaves, most delicately embroidered in the colored silks. Another example of ornamentation lay close at hand, in the form of a black silk stocking, round the leg of which a garter of pink rosebuds and leaves winding up? ward from the ankle was exquisitely em? broidered. This last fashion is very popular just now. Stockings so embroid? ered are, of course, enormously dear. Few women can afford to buy many such expensive articles of dress as these gar? landed stockings; therefore it becomes a matter of eager competition among the leaders of fashion to secure as many specimens of the latest rage as their purses will allow. The mania is instill? ed, and henceforth the woman of the world takes rank according to her stock? ings. Garlauds of flowers do not hold the field alone, it must be observed. In some cases inscriptions and devices are embroidered round the legs of the mo? dern stockings, and rows and patterns are worked in colored silk stars or spots. The ground, however, of all this work must, on no account, be white.?Home Journal. Hotel Life in the City of Mexico. ?Everything in the way of living is cheap in Mexico. Of course prices range higher in the capital than elsewhere, but even there the hotels, for instance, fur? nish excellent rooms at from $20 to $50 per month. At the Hotel Iturbide the rooms are very large, aud usually divided by curtains, so as to make a parlor and a bedroom. For ?.30 a mouth you can pro? cure one of these apartments, handsome? ly furnished and efficiently attended. The scheme of the hotel extends no further. Your bath and your meals are outside affairs. On the ground floor of the Hotel Iturbide is an excellent French restaurant aud a very good bath house. These are separate establishments. The price of the bath is two reals (twenty five cents), and at the restaurant two persons can contract for meals at $7.50 each per week. The Gran Tivoli is ar? ranged as a park, with lovely grounds, fountains, streams, and flowers in profu? sion. The dining places are scattered about here and there; Chinese pagodas, Swiss cottages, French chalets in minia? ture?you choose the retreat which pleases you the most. It is here that you find the great tree, on one of whose branches is a pretty little cabin, to which you ascend by a spiral stairway, if you prefer dining so far from mother earth. I believe it will be conceded by all who have partaken of the menu of the Gran Tivoli that a better cooked, better served, and more elegantly appointed dinner could hardly be found anywhere in the world. The cooks are of the finest Paris? ian schools, the wines genuine, and the accessories fascinating.?New Orleans Picayune. Elevate the Mind.?Raise the mind to a higher standard, aud to a certain ex? tent the features are compelled to go with it. How different are the faces of even the most stupid under the influence of pleasurable excitement, or a just and generous indignation or wrong! you can scarcely recognize them as the same peo? ple. Elevation of mind imparts grace and dignity to form and features ; but of all sentiments, benevolence to our fellow men, is one of the best. We defy any woman to relieve a starving family in person, or administer sympathy and con? solation to affliction, and look altogether ugly. Observe enthusiastic people in their moments of inspiration?even ar? dent lovers ol science in their description of a new discovery, or conjectures regar? ding a new system, and then turn to some inanimate regular beauty, who listens to them as unmoved as a statue, and ask yourself candidly which is the real essence of beauty, the form or the expres? sion. ? Rowell's Newspaper Directory shows the failure of one thousand newspapers in this country during the past year, the loss to publishers, subscribers and adver? tisers amounting to over eight million j dollars. Among those who went into the newspaper business and lost heavily thereby were 275 merchants and adven? turers, 315 school teachers, 57 lawyers, 4 blacksmiths, 33 plasterers, 10 farmers, 200 fanatics of various classes aillicted with literary leanings, 100 ambitious, but visionary men, who drew upon their fa? thers and thus suddenly exhausted large margins of the paternal capital, and 6 lottery men. ? The oMier day a gentleman was asked if the "Yankees were sincere in their centennial sentiments?" His re? ply was: "Just as sincere as the South? ern people are." Ahem! MlND and Health.?The mental condition has far more influence npo>? ?' . - ? : tin icss rut : .... sorrowful and disagreeable emotions produce disease in persons who, uninfluenced by them, would be in sound health ; or. if disease is not produced, the functions are disordered. Not even physicians always consider the impor? tance of this fact. Agreeable emotions always set in motion nervous currents which stimulate blood, brain, and every part of the system into healthful activi? ty; while grief, disappointment of feel? ing, and brooding over present sorrows or past mistakes depress all the vital forces. To be physically well one must in general, be happy. The reverse is not always true; one may be happy and cheerful, and yet be a constant sufferer in body. ? The Boston Herald tells this : "The day following our centennial festivities, the following incident occurred in a South end saloon : A friend had invited one of the South Carolina soldiers into the saloon to put another turf on the hatchet. While standing at the bar, a stranger came in. The Carolinian sudJJ denly dropped his glass and closely eyed the stranger. His gaze was so steady and peculiar, that the friend began to be alarmed and to fear that the hatchet was about to be dug up again. Directly the Carolinian asked the stranger if he knew him. There was no recognition ; where? upon the Carolinian asked him if he was not in the late war. "Yes," was the re? ply. "Aud you were onced stationed at such a place?" "Yes." "And took part in such a skirmish?" "Yes."? "Well, I thought so," replied the Caroli? nian, and raising his hat showed a large scar on his forehead, saying, "There's your sabre mark, my boy; come up aud take a drink." ? The Washington correspondent of | the Baltimore Sun writes: "It is very gratifying to record that for the first time in the long period of the ten years which have elapsed since the close of the war those who sit in high places exhibit no disposition to stir up political feeling against the South. This is the first Sum? mer since 1865 that this city has not been made the headquarters for the dissemina? tion all over the country of the most malign slanders upon the Southern peo? ple. It seems safe to say that this unhap? py business is at last at an end. The Southern people must have some feeling of this kind, for all the intelligence which comes here from that section re? presents the aspect of business affairs as most hopeful." ? It is stated that Barnwell County has a genuine case of Siamese Twins. We are informed that a woman in that county recently gave birth to two chil? dren who are joined together by a liga? ture very closely resembling that which united tho bodies of Chang and Eng. At last accounts, the twins were alive and doing "as well as could be expected." ? Why is a pig the most provident of animals? Because*ho always carries a spare-rib or two about him.
