I can now recall one, when I was hunting beaver, jnst as the ice began to break up, and on one of the furthest, wildest lakes I ever visited. I calculated there , oould be no human being nearer than one hundred miles. I was pushing my canoe along the loose ice, one oold day, _ when iust round a point that projected into the lake, I heard something walking through the ice. It made so muoh noise and stepped so regularly, that I felt sure it must be a moose. I got my I rifle ready and held it cocked in one hand, while I pushed the canoe with the other. Slowly and carefully I rounded the point, when, what waB my astonish.ment to see, not a moose but a man, wading in the water?the ioe water I He had nothing on his head or feet, and his olothes were almost torn off from his limbs. He was walking, gesticulating with with his hands, and talking to himsslf. He seemed to be wasted to a skeleton. With great difficulty I got him in my canoe ; when I landed I made up a fire and got him some hot tea and i food. He had a bone of some animal in , his bosom, which he gnawed almost to nothing. He was nearly frozen, and k Quieted down and soon fell asleep. I L nursed him like an infant With great difficulty, and in a round-about way I found out the name of the town from which he "ame. Slowly and carefully I got alon>, around falls and over portages, k jping a resolute watch on him, lest he f lould escape from me into the forest. At length, after nearly a week's travel, I reached the village where I supposed he lived. I found the whole community under deep excitement-*nd more than a hundred men were scattered in the woods and on the mountains, seeking for my orazy companion, for they had learned that he had wandered into the woods. It had been agreed upon, that, if he was found, the bells were to be rung and guns fired. And, as soon as I landed, a shout was raised, his friends rushed to him, the bells broke out in loud notes, and guns were fired, and the renort echoed scram and again in the forests and on the mountain^ till ecery seeker knew that the I ost one was fonnd. "How many times I had to tell the story over I I never saw people so crazy with joy, for the man was of the first and best families, and they hoped his insanity would be but temporary, as I afterward learned it was. How they fea< ted me, and vhei^I came away, loaded my canoe with provisions and clothing, and everything for my oomfortl It was u time and place of wonderful joy. They seemed to forget everybody else, and think only of the poor man whom I had brought back." !The Precious Herb, Two little German girls, Brigitte and Walburg, were on their way to the town, and each carried a heavy basket on hr head. Brigitte murmured and sighed constantly, Walburg only laughed and joked. iingitte said: " What maKes yon laugh so? Your basket is quite as heavy as mine, and you are no stronger than I am," Walburg answered: "I have a precious little herb on my load, which makes me hardly feel it at all. Pat some of it on your load as well." "Oh," cried Biigitte, "it must indeed be a precious little herb 1 I should like to lighten my load with it; so tell me at onoe what it is called." . Walburg replied: " Thepreoiouslittle herb that makes all burdens light is called patience."

Baldneaa. It has sometimes been wondered where all the false hair comes from with which the deficiencies of the natural supply are eked out. Foreign countries furnish the bulk of the material for the American market, as there are few people here who, whether from in c]illation or necessity, dispose of their locks for money. Light hair comes from Germany, while Brittuny and the south of France supply the black ; and it is a curious sight to see the young peasant girls being sheared like sheep by men as well as women. The universal oustom of wearing caps which completely oonoeal their abundant locks, doubtless accounts for the readiness of the French peasant girls to sell for a song the fit est ornament of their sex. Now and then some story gets into print about the dangers of wearing false hair, and the acoounts of insects which have been said to inhabit it are by no means attractive reading. But these stories are, as a rule, either inventions or exaggerations, for in every reputable hair store there is a guarantee of oleanliness which any eye can be satisfied of. There are, no doubt, unpleasant associations oonnected with what is known in the trade as " graveyard hair." that is, the hair which is taken from a person's head after death ; but this kind being brittle and deficient in the qualities necessary for daily use, is probably only found in oheap quarters. Very curious, as showing the connection between the emotions and the hair, are those instances in which terror or Borne great mental distuibanoe has suddenly blanohed it. Marie Antoinette's experience in having her head Decome gray me mgm preceumg uer execution is sufficiently familiar. Another example, referred to by Dr, Wynter as ooming under his own observation, was that of a soldier who feigned rheumatism, and lingered in a hospital for three months, to escape military service. This anxiety to keep up the deception caused his hair to turn gray, although he was quite a young man. These emotional affections of the hair are supposed to be caused by the action of some fluid in the blood upon the pigments. Patches of white hair are sometimes, though rarely, found upon newborn babes, and it is the absenoe of pigment which produces the whiteness so familiar in the Albino. As to the causes of baldness, they are to some extent connected with artificial habits of life. The larger deposit of fat in the female scalp, whioh allows of a free circulation in the capillaries of tho^Cn, is held by medical authorities tb account for the general exemption of women from baldness, as comDared with men. The smoothness of a' scalp denuded of its natural covering, shows a denseness of texture in the skin caused by the destruction of the bulk of the hair, and the olosure of the follioles?in this condition, all remedies are useless. The silk hat so constantly worn by men is probably responsible for much of the prevailing baldness, and the fact that this ceases below the place of oontact with the head, indioates the mode of operation, the exolneion of air and consequent exoesBive production of heat. Coolness of the head is a requisite for a healthy growth of hair, whioli is apt to come out in fevers and other morbid states of the system. Nothing better can be devised for the benefit of the hair than the daily use of oold water, followed by vigorous rubbing. rne use 01 animal iats is injurious oy reason of their heating properties, and a light cleansing and gently stimulating wash is the most which is needed by way of artificial application to promote the health and growth of the hair. The blood, says a medical writer, is the only macassar of the hair, the only oil whioh can with truth be said to " insinuate its balsamic properties into the pores of the head." The fine network of vessels on which the bulbs of the hair rest is alone capable of maintaing its healthy existence. The same writer adds : " We do not see why internal preparations should not be tried, and we are not at all oertain that gelatine soups and pills made of the ashes of burnt hair, might not be effectual in baldness, as those ingredients would supply to the blood the matprifila riAAAnnarv frtr th? rtrndnntifin of hirsute growths"." Barring the cremation and restaurant suggestions, which are here unpleasantly conneoted with hair, it might be worth while for persons who have grown gray in reading the Times, or beoome bald by not reading it, to test the soundness oi these bits of wisdom in relation to the subject.?Boston Timet. Birds and Hard Winters. The tendency to augur a hard winter from the arrival of birds whioh usually winter in oountries far north of us, is, we think with the Rev. F. O. Morris, himself a great observer of the habits of birdB, generally a mistake. What such arrivals do prove, is not what is going to be so muoh as -what has already happened in these northern regions?the birds flying before the oold, rather than taking precautions against it before they feel it. No donbt this may imply a severe winter for us, as well as for these northerly regions, especially if northerly winds prevail, as they are very apt to do when there is unusual cold, and, therfore, an unusually dense atmosphere to the north of us, which rushes in on the rarer atmosphere of our more humid climate. But that is only saying that the birds fly from weather which is not likely to extend itself to us, not that they anticipate severe weather before thev feel it. When robins come into oar boases we do not take it as proving that a long frost is ooming, bnt only that a hard frost is already there; and we snspeot that the northerly birds fly south for precisely the same reasons for which the robins enter our houses when they find the cold insupportable out of doors.?London Spectator. An Artificial Earthquake. Speaking of an explosion of giant powder, by whioh several persons were killed, a San Francisoo paper says : It is worthy of note, in a scientific point of view, that the stroke of a hammer driving a nail in a piece of wood, which exploded the giant powder works, also bdook a city, mere is no part 01 nan Francisco in which the concussion was not felt, thoogh the works were looated five miles from the center of population. It is reported that the shock was noticed at San Jose, fifty miles off. The general effects were precisely similar to those produced by an earthquake. The direction of the motion was not the same in all places. Topographioal elevations may account for deflections, but the general movement was north and south. Here we have a foroe external to the earth producing phenomena precisely similar to those supposed to emanate from the Interior. The coincidence, to say the least, is very remarkable. N< one accustomed to earthquakes experiencing the shook of WednesdSw would have set it down to anything e^E but an internal convulsion. ' as?Se .! r rr^r^r r rUK THE TA1K Fashion Notes. Coiffures tend to oompaotness, and are worn lower in the bach. i Braids or short onrls down the back J are worn with dressy evening ooiffures. Small bouffant draperies or paniers are arranged back of the waistcoat on all dressy Parisian toilets. Oriental silks, Persian and Egyptian 1 silks, satins, velvets, brocades and corduroys are all used for waistcoats. Very small figures, checks and stripes on white grounds, are the features in i the new spring oalicoes and percales. { "Pekin," the name given to velvets, : silks, and woolens having alternate dull and lustrous stripes, is all the rage at i Paris. A double cape of heavy silk chenille, with tinsel thread twisted in the same, is the latest novelty for the neck in place of a scarf. The long waistcoats worn with dressy toilets are separate garments, and may 1 ?1 JiflpAvdnf tin/la rtf ua wuru WltU ncvciai uiuuduu a..uv.u VI I coats and skirts. White satin dresses of creamy or leaden tint are worn by elderly ladies , for fall dress, with fall trimmings of , creamy old point laoea. Birds of paradise, butterflies, and insects of all sorts in the form of gold fignres and Impegan feather ornaments are worn in the hair for fall dress. The belted Josephine oorsage, the oorset basque, and the oorsage with long points back and front are all worn 1 for evening toilets with low, square neoks. For street wear, under all oircumatances, a very simple dress, although it be a little shabby, it is preferable to one more elaborately draped and trimmed that has lost its freshness. All morning toilets for the street , --- - ' L1..1. I should be short and very aara or omoa.

The newest hats for young girls in their teens are of felt, nigh crowned, with square tops, trimmed with three rows of inch-wide ribbon in bands placed quite far apart around the crown. The brims roll in Derby shape. Other felt hats have a soarf of brown or navy blue Batin with white polka dots. Oravat bows have superseded the cravats that pass around the neck; if the latter are used, they are placed inside the dress, instead of concealing the neat collar of the dress, and only the oravat bow is seen. White muslin cravat bows are preferred for plain suits in the morning and for dressy aftemnnn wear. When colored cravats are chosen, they are folded like gentlemen's scarfs to fit in the revers collar of a ooat. or else they are as narrow as the lawn neokties worn in full dress; the latter are made of foulard, and embroidered on each end.

A Florida -woman recently chopped off the head of a great eagle that had become entangled in a honeysuckle vine while trying to kill her chickens. At an English wedding, which took place not long ago, the bridesmaids wore i;hree bands of silver braid around tbeir heads, with a lily at the side. A key was all the present that a New York bride received from the bridegroom's parents, but it opened the door of a splendid house, and the young lady did not complain. Opera scarfs three yards long and more than half a yard wide are now popular in Paris for winding around the hair and throat. The newest opera cloaks, enveloping the whole person, are of thick, soft camel's hair, with a hood. The following extract is from an account of the reoent visit of the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise to Niagara Falls: The ladies all appeared at dinner in full dress. Her royal highness wore a black silk dress, with court train, the only trimming being orape. Upon her neck was a necklace of Whitby jet beads, three strands, and diamond out. Her hair was arranged in plain bands, with jet ornaments, and she looked lovely. The other ladies were also in oourt costumes, and the gentlemen were in full dress. A Memorable Street In Paris. It iB pleasant to learn, after the topsyturvy game to whioh Paris has been subjected in the past thirty years, that at least one old street, the Rue de l'Arbre, in the midst of the capital, and in the most magnificently transformed quarter, remains intact, with its venerable mansions and traditions of the seventeenth century. On this site during 1,200 years strange and terrible scenes have been enacted. At the point where the Rue de Rivoli outs it, JBrunehaut, queen of France, was, at the age of eighty, torn asunder by horses in 612. In 1505 a great outbreak took place on the same spot because the cure of St. Germain l'Auierroia refused to perform the funeral service of a merchant's wife until he had ascertained whether she had left any money to the church." At the epoch of the Fi'onde this street was the scene of frequent outbreaks. It was there that Cardinal De Retz, passing through it one evening in 1648, was threatened by a roaster brandishing a long spit. The oardinal had not the wildest idea who his enemy was, but had the gumption to say, " Villain, if your poor father could only see you !" fl*o fall svnr lrwom'nino fViaf uv/rr i ?? ttuvii vuv ivnv ny ? ?^ vumw he was a friend of his 1'amily, implored pardon.

AppletoD: The Nile is a sacred river, arid the Tiber is famous, bat the most sacred and most famoas river of the world is the Jordan. From the beginning to the end, it has that mystical oharacter which befits sach lofty pretensions; its life is the most vivid and complete, and its death the moBt sadden and mysterious that oan be imagined. It is torrential, and it leaves the banks of the Hermon and the many fountains of its tributaries with an eager precipitation, as if it tore a mission. From its greatest height, BULLLO UUUUXCU ICCt BUUVO uuo BCM *V?V4| it leaps downward till it disappears in the Dead sea some thirteen hundred feet below it. It hides itself among oleander, tamarisk and willow, and many an unfamiliar Oriental tree, as if wishing to keep from profane eyes the sesret of its errand. It does not*stop long to overflow its banks and fertilize the valley, for it has a purpose too mystical to waste itself even apon acts of benevolenoe. It is only willing to becomes living barrier between the desert tri.bes and the favored nation which loved it. No boat lives on its bosom. No fishermen dwell by its margin; but it mores, one headlong column of sacrecl waters from its cradle of snow and cloud, high in the heaven, till it dies in a fatal lake marked by the finger of God, and forever a subject for man's ouriosity and reverence. It would seem a thing apart and not to be confounded with vulgar waters, whioh lose their personality in the bosom of the mighty sea, but exhaling to heaven like some holy messenger who perished in the fulfillmen t of his dnty. It*. birth and its death alike separate it from its sister rivers of earth, and only the voiceless mounds of perished and nameless cities, tribes stationary as if bidden to halt by some supreme destiny of the past,or "he awed and questioning stranger from the many Christian lands whose baptism drew its ?J.1 :i?

And then we wandered through many whispering reeds, through a kind of jangle where sterility and the river had fought for mastery, and whieh showed traces of both; a tangle of bushes as it were, fighting their way} up, and great spaces of barrenness which the summer would soorch to lifeleisness. And at last the Dead sea. Though we know that it is of volcanic origin, and fed by mines of salt, the imo^ina* fi/vn nnro no aval* in /?/YniATlf. tn AAA ill it a thing uccursed. There was a fresh breeze; aid a reluctant lift and heavy tumble of its tiny breakers made them unlike oiher waves, but ralher like those of Dante's Infernal sea. There was a breath heavv with doom in the air, and we were fortunate it was not more stifling. Was it the breath of those loot or tortured there ? And beneath that saline eh set, did we not see, as in the picture of Delacroix, the agonizing and twisted figures o:f the condemned ? We did not bathe in the Dead sea. Others have done so, and report of its buoyancy the same tales that are told of our own Salt lake. There is a whimsical coincidence in the geographical relation of the Dead sea and the home of the earlier prophets, and Mr. Brigham Young's personal continuation of the old dispensation,- with a private Dead sea of his own, in his immediate neighborhood. The poorest swimmer keeps, his head above water;'and persons have said to mp. that-their legs seemed to fly up from tinder them.

Birdi are said never to fly ove:r it, whioh is the merest superstition, for they are really often seen to do so. This lai e certainly has a brand npon it, as of divine vengeance. The waters are heavy with sin, the shores around blessed, and the very site of destroyed oitieu npon its banks unknown. And here are still seen the apples of Sodom, smooth and pretty to the eye and tonoh, of a pale yellow, like a small orange, but within, as Josephns says, still retaining the ashes of Sodom in living perpetuity of the divine punishment.

Since the days of the sorely afflicted Job, patience has been a virtue well worthy to be practiced by all. It is the patient plodder that acquires greatness rather than the giant intellect. The greatest inventors of this or any other age, have only become so by patient investigation and trial. The astronomer must have patience us his eyes wander among the countless multitude of stars that gem the oanopy of the hBavens. He can not learn the names of even the sentinels upon the outskirts n a single night. So with the sohola::. He can not advanoe through that whioh has cost others years of study in a single day. Sir isaao Newton thought long and well on the subject of (jravitation. Franklin studied deeply into the canses that produce the lightning.
