“’Geo. D. Prentice and Mike Walsh Considering how fond we all are of life, and what a transient gift it is, does it not seem odd that ennui should ever cross our path, or that we should ever be put to it for means with which to consume time? When the universe offers so many riddles to be solved-â€" when there is so much to see, so much to know, so many thoughts to be thought outaâ€"is it not strange that we should ever have a spare moment lying unemployed on our hands, rather than that we should be constantly seeking and inventing devices for getting rid of the surplus hours 2 Not that we should never step aside from the serious pur- suits of life, but in our sports how of ten are we ponderously sensible of the lag- ging minutes, and, heartily glad when they are passed! Fortunately for most of us, a certain portion of each day is necessarily devoted to the laborof earn- ing our daily bread ; but after the mer- chant has closed his ledger and the shop- man has put up his blinds, after the artist has turned his easel t0 the wall, and law and order has been established in the housekeepers province, and the gardener has left Nature in undisturbed possession, there yet remains a respect- able remnant of the day, pliant and ready to be moulded to our uses, but which we usually make haste to em- ploy in the most shiftless and profitless manner, or not to employ at all, merely animated by the desire of passing time, as though we did not know that it is the material with which we build for eternity ,2 and if we waste the material, will not the structure be incomplete? For the surer annihilation of time we form conspiracies to help each other out of the difficulty, and then turn round and complain of the brevity of of human life. Think you that in three- score years and ten we might not find leisure for every elegant accomplish- ment and every solid [requirement if we knew how to economize the precious stuff, or cared to learn the method, and did not fritter it away as if it were of small account and utterly inexhausti- ble? Consider what profit might ac- brue even from the average life if no moments were “killed,” not merely un- occupied, but unfruitful of thought; for each of us is aware that the idlehand hand is at time a necessity of nature, but the mind that is busy entertaining lofty ideas is too well pleased with its company to wish the hours away, and that it is only the sick or vacant brain that complains of tedium, and urges its owner to fill the vacuum with empty gossip and a . thousand trifles with which we could dispense. How many novels do we read which leave no more impressions than footâ€"prints on the sand, only because we have some hours at our disposal which we would fain strangle secretly, like the princes in the tower, with the hope of escapsng conviction ; how many rubbers at whist do we play withoutgiving attention to the science of the game, only because it will while away” an evening ; how many after-dinner naps are undertaken in the same worthy cause; how many over- eating, drinking, and dressing, not to mention gambling and lower methods to ears polite ; how many abominations in worsted and wax work bear witness to the waste of “ the stuff that won’t en- dure ; ” how many intrigues have been begun and carried on in a mere spirit of ennui ; how many disputes and quar- rels have killed the costly gift for which its possessor could find no better use ,' and how many flirtations and broken hearts are the result of this sad propen- sity of headless minds? In truth, we work harder and more diligently at this trade of wilful murder than at any other, and while we hold upon exist- ence with a most pathetic grip, the material of which it is made hangs lieavy on our hands, and we are beg- ging every passerâ€"by to relieve us of it, while we estimate it at its true value only when there is an immediate pros- pect of losing it, when we would gladly. barter all other possessions for a, fraction of that which' we lately found so bur- densome. In fact, this matter of kill-, ing time lacks originality , the Romans killed it in their baths, at their gladia- torial sports, at their toilettesâ€"the Pompeian lady devoting the entire morning to that pretty craft; and is the modern belle far behindhand? it has been accomplished through all the ages by kaiser and peasant, rich and poor; and with What eclat was it dis- patched at the Hotel de Rambouillet, at the charming retreat of Coppet, where Madame de Staci hastened the years of her exile with every brilliant device, or at the Rocks, where Madame De Sevigne abridged the absence of her daughter by every indolent employment â€"nor need we flatter ourselves that it is an exploded custom, or one that is losingr adherents, when we meet people ,who commit the offence every day of their lives 3 people that sit thrbugh classical concerts and Italian operas, not because they enjoy them, but be- cause they help to pass the time resâ€" pectably ; people who go to the sea- shore or the mountains not so much for change cg air and prospect as to beguile ennui ; who go to church not for conso- lation, but for dissipation ; who in short embrace every opportunity of abbrevi- ating the time from the cradle to the -- grave, not reflecting that for every idle hour, as well as word, must we render Aaecount.â€"Hmpcr’s Bazaar.

N 0t many Sabbaths ago, a. stranger was standing at the door of a church in this city, talking to a member of the church while the congregation were gathering A young gentleman came up with his sister and walked in. The stranger asked who that young gentle- man was; the member told him; he then asked what young lady that; was with him; he was told who she was. He then asked if this young man was in the habit of coming to church with his sister. The member told him that he never failed to do it morning and night when he was at home or when she wanted to attend church.

They are seldom if ever seen with them unless it is at home. This is not as it should be. Nothing is more becoming in a. young man than to be kind and attentive to them at all times, and not to go ofl’and leave them to go and come the best they can, or stay at home. Some young men treat their sisters shamefully in this way. Young ladies, beware of all such. They would soon get tired of you and treat you as they did their mothers and sisters ,' nothing is more natural in such cases.

Augustus l’zrttei‘maun, the colo- bmtcd German geographer, has recent- ly addressed a letter, on the subject of past explorations of the arctic regions, to the British Royal Geographical So- ciety, which is of timely interest in View of the present fitting out of anoth- er English expedition to that unknown quarter of the globe. Dr. Peterman believes, from the results already arriv- ed at, that ivith appropriate steam ves- sels, making use of the extensive ex- perience gained, the central area will be penetrated as far as the North Pole or at any other points. He also states that the diSputed question as to the proper route is clearly settled in favor of puss-age through Smith's Sound. The London ltlcdiml Record says :â€" “ The influence of age upon suicide is a study of more than speculative interâ€" est, on account of its practical bearings and of the case and precision with which it can be demonstrated. By age is meant the critical periods of life. Those periods having many components he- sides the more facts of years, it is apâ€" parent that we have to examine in a many-sided phenomenon, including to- gether with it the advance in life, the workings of physiological, mental, and sociological causes. It has been lately examined by Dr. O'Dea, and it appears that the maximum of suicides of both sexes occurs between the ages of twenty- fivc and fifty-five. Previous to the twenty-fifth year there is a sudden in- crease from two-suicides between the ages of five and ten, to one hundred and thirtyâ€"six between twenty and fifty-five. After fiftyâ€"five the tendency to suicide declines, but more gradually than it rose, except at sixty-five, when the number increases 'from eighty-one to to eighty three, a rise so slight. how. ever, as to be little worth considering. There are, therefore, three suicidal pee riods in life ; those of organic and men- tal growth, organic and mental compleâ€" tion, and organic and mental decline. In the first the chart shows eighty ; in the second nine hundred and forty-two, and in the third three hundred and eleven. Comparing the periods in round numbers, it may be said that they are as one for childhood and adolescence to twelve for adult life, and to four for the years of bodily and mental decay. Theinfluence of sex and its attendant circumstances upon suicides at the dif- ferent periods life is shown upon the charts. \Vith females, among males, there is a sudden and abrupt rise until the twenty-fifth year is reached. This rise is continued until the thirty-fifth year, at which time the maximum of suicides occurs among women. The period from the twentyâ€"fifth to the thirtyâ€"fifth year corresponds to that of the greatest pressure from domestic troubles and responsibilities, and also with the greatest activity of the mater- nal functions. The line thence des- cends abruptly to the forty-titty year, whence it rises to the fiftieth, the critiâ€" cal period of mature female life, and then goes down, down, until it reaches the level from which it started. There are, therefore, two culminating points, and while the line on the male chart is undulating and sustained, that on the female chart is vertical and abrupt. The lower of the male culminating Through the individual labors 01' Dr. Petermann,continued since 1866, ‘VCD small expeditions have been sent out. The details of the explorations conduct- ed have not been made public; but generally, from the interior of Greenâ€" land, in 30 O \V. longitude to 59 O E, east ofSpitzbergen, it width of about ninety degrees of longitude has been surveyed. Besides this, it is now known that the Norwegians, in frail fishing smacks, have circumnavigated Nova. Zembla, and have proved that the Kara and Siberian seas are for five months in the year open. The most important information, however, com- municated in Dr. Peternmnn’s letter, lies in the extracts from reports by Captain Gray, of l’eterhead. 1Erom ob- servations made in 1868, this naviga- tor concluded that no difiiculty vould be found in carrying vessel to the Pole, by taking the ice at about the latitude of 75 C (where generally exists :1 deep bight), sometimes running in a northwest direction upwards of 100 miles toward Shannon Island, thence following the continent of Greenland as long as it is found to sound in the desired direction, and afterward push- ing northwards through the loose fields of ice which will be encountered. Cap‘ tain Gray penetrated northward again during the past summer as far as 79 O 45’. At that latitude, in August, the ice was broken up, whereas “ down to 77,” he states, “the flees were lying whole in the sen, clearly showing that the ice in 80 3 must have been broken up, by a swell from the north 3 beyond the pack to the north (which I could see over,) there was a dark water sky, reaching north until lost in the dis- tance,withoutn, particle of ice to be seen in it.” The prepnmqions for the British ex- peditions, we understand, are already under way, and the command has been given to Captain George S. Nares, late of the “ Challenger.” \Ve may conâ€" clude, therefore, that the long-sought problem of reaching the pole is at length to be met by all the resources of engineering skill and scientific know- ledge, in presence of which the solution cannot be far distant. If two thoroughly equipped steamers be_despatched, one up the west coast of Greenland, by way of Smith Sound. and the other up the east coast of the same continent, there is not much question but that one or the other would ultimately reach this open water near the pole, the existence of which so many hve acredited. It has been the misfortune of late arctic expeditions that all have been projected on too small a, scale; and although they have performed excellent service as pioneers, they lacked the completeness in organi~ zation and equipments necessary for the endurance of so long and arduous a voyage. I The Latest Polar Expedition The Age of Suicide “ There was an old family feul be- tween them.” was what a Witness in a Chicago murder case said to the jury. The Judge askod her if she didn’t mean to say “feud ” and she wanted to know who was telling the story. points is the higher of the female, and, cont-rawise, the lower of the female is the higher of the male. These «almrts do not show the relative frequmcy of suicides among the tWo sexes. The ratio of suicides to population in, the Unith States is (for the period covered by the last decennial census) 25 to 100,- 000; among males, and 3 to 100,000 among females. The only periods at which suicides are nearly equal for both sexes is from fifteen to twenty years, during which the number of boy sui- cides was thirty-four, of girl suicides, thirty-two. After this the number of suicides among males is much greater than among females. “You’d petter go out by dab door! I sign (lat pook to get dat heathen some close by de poormaster, and dat is blenty!

A ball in Santa Fe, Texas, was at tended by the members of the best society in the place, but an incident showed that border usages are not confined to border ruffans. George Stone, the son 'of the leading lawyer, and John Collier, the son of the lead- ing physical), were among the danc’ ers; and Miss Townley, regarded as the handsomest young lady in Santa Fe, was there too. She is a coquette, and that night she accomplished the common feminine exploit of making each of' the two admirers believe that he was most agreeable. At last their attentions clashed. and, with- out a word of controversy, Collier drewhis revolver and fired at Stone, the bullet making; a terrible wound in the shoulder. The wounded men at once shot his assailant dead. As both lay on the floor un’ooncious, Miss Townley dropped the coqetry that had made the deadly trouble, and revealed her reference for Collier by throwing erself Widly upon his dead body, Stone will recover. “ Vhat f7” “ Will you give the sum of one d01- lar for the heathen?” “ Ha!

He agreed to give her an education and adopt her, though he had several daughters Of his 0W1]. She joyfully ac< ceptcd the proposition, flung her white apron behind the door, and started on her new life. of course the connection could not be very satisfactory to the family. The girl had a grain of shrewd- ncss about her, and insisted that {t {01“ 111111 paper of adoption should be drawn up. This was done, and the girl was sent to a well-known educational insti- tution to receive a little polish. A correspondence was kept up between the parties. But to outsiders the mat- ter was not satisfactory, and the prin- cipal refused to receive the younglady into the school after the vacation was over. Soon after the gentlemen beâ€" came crazy, and was removed to a. lun- atic asylum ; removed, as the girl said, to get him beyond her reach. The re- mittances failed7 and of course there was trouble in the new school into which the girl had entered. On the passing away of insanity, the infertilit- tion of the old man seemed to go with it. He tried to break up the corres- pondence, without succ::ss, and the family exerted all their influence to re- cover the fatal bond of adoption ;‘ but the girl held on to it. She had, beâ€" sides, a bushel of letters breathing the most ardent affection. A pecuniary he gotiation was set on foot, which at first the maiden repudiated. She professed to be devotcdly attached to the old mm and did not want- money. But it. was discovered that the document, as a legal claim, was not worth the paper it was written on. Then the young lady came to terms, and the sum of $3,500 healed her broken heart and wrung from her an obligation that she would humble the old mun no more. Prominent engineers have satisfied themselves that the scheme of con- necting France with Great Britain by means of a railroad line carried through a tunnel under the sea is quite practicable. They have made. an estimate of the cost of the propos- ed tunnel, which'they think can be completed at the expenditure of four million pounds. The lowest depth of the channel has been ascertained to be one hundred and forty feet, while the width of seaintcrvening between England and France is twenty miles. It is said that the railroad companies most interested in the project have resolved to begin the tunnel on each side of the channel, and to perforate it to the extent of one kilometer-â€" something less than a r'nilcâ€"from each shore, believing that when the feasibility of boring for that distance is proved by experiment, the public will be satisfied that the entire work can be successfully accomplished, and that there will be no difficulty in raising the capital which will be re- quired to carry out the design. Sup- posing the work completed, and the average Briton sup lied with the faci- lities of reaching hrance in an hour, and ata trifling expense, it is evi-_ dent that the rush of English people to France, and of Frenchmen to Eng- land would be immense. It is pro. bable that the impetus to familiar in- tercourse between the two nations which would follow the establishment of such a railway line would have most important social and political effects.
