If We could command .good gifts from some beneficth fairy, as in the tine old times of magicians and genii, the tiist on the list would be pres- ence of mind. Without this, indeed, all the others have but half their value; for of What use is a chariot which can he not ready only after you have finished your journey and waded through the mud on foot? or a fire escape which appears at your windows only when you have been scorched and blackened in the flames? So of what good the wit, which lags behind the occasion, andl comes in limp and damp when the time of the fireworks has passtsd and the brightest flash falls dull and dim? ortho courage which is only like the blind strenth of Samson, eyelcss, contuscd, without the power of‘dis- criminating means or the ability to discern opportunities? What we want is thepresence of n.ind to make both wit and courage. available on the instant and when wanted; the ready tact, the quick eyesight, the facile word, the prompt act, the use of the faculties which measure ob- stacles coincident with those which balance powers, so that we may see where the danger lies, and at the same moment where the means of escape are to be found. Without this power of ready use, this presence of' mind, no faculty we may possess has either full play or tull value, and for all practical purposes we might as well be without those powers 01 which we cannot get the good or make full use when required. Take a tender, timid, easilyâ€"dis- mayed and distracted mother, with 'her child in flames. badly cut, half ‘drowned, or in convulsions. Theo- retically she knows exactly what to do. She has read it. often; been in- structed in all the stages of procedure, and knows the whole thing by heart, beginning, middle, and endâ€"in her armchair. Put her knowledge to the test, and it has gone; exhaled in irightened screams, in agonized dis- tress, in tears which do no good to her child or anyone else, in wringing 01' hands and tearing of hair. When too late she remembers what. she ought to have done, but, lacking pre- 'sence of mind for the occasion, the moment of deliverance passed, and the child died or was maimed 101' life in consequence. r This is by no means an exaggerated picture of nervous incompetence, or an unfrequent occurrence. Among the saddest deaths of a family are those which might have been pre- vented had there been a little pre- sent-c of' mind with thoscin authority, and less yielding to hysterical con- iUsiou and distress. \Ve are constantly exposed to dangers where we can either save ourselves by promptness and coolness, or where we are lost by flurry, blindness, and inability to act with understanding. A runaway horse is a case in point. Take at Cal‘- 1‘iage full of ladies, say, with a d: ivor- lcss, bitless horse, careering’ like a mad thng along the roadâ€"death gal loping by their side, looking them in the iace, whether they sit still or get out; but; in the former case thel chances between destruction and es- cape nearly even, in the latter the chance 01 escape reduced to zero, those of destruction raised up to cor- taii'ity. The women with presence 01 mind sit still, keep silent, and hold on ; those without presence of mind scream loudly and struggle to get out. Their screams only frighten the al- ready-terrified horse the more; and if they do get out they are either killed by the concussion of the tall, or at the least have broken limbs by reason of the wheels passing over them. Those who hold on have all the chances in their favor. The horse may leap the bridge, may dash down the precipice, may break the fences and try conclusions with the express train ; or he may be stopped in time, and no real harm doneâ€"all within quitte pear la peurl He may upset the -carriage by dragging one side ‘up the bank, or hustling itagainst boulders and telegraph posts; or he may keep fair and square in the middle of the road. So long as there remains an “it'” in the quiver ol chances, the balance is in favor of quietude, and presence of mind car- ries the day. And what. is true of this kind of accident is true of every other kind. A stermy sea and a rick- ety boat; a. sudden cry of “ fire l” by night, and the licking tongues 01‘ ,flame creeping through the stifling smoke; a severed artery, and the life-blood spurting out in jets; chokâ€" .. ing ; drowning; the thousand-und-onc 2 perils that come upon us unawarcsâ€" they are all continually to be passed Over safely by presence of'mind where want of this inestimable quality leads sate and sure to ruin. Ono evil result of very careful home training is thatchildren are not suffered toruu their little dangers, so never learn how to get out of them when they come. And as presence of mind is, like everything else, a matter of use and education, we can: not wonder if the adult Jails because the child has never learnt, and that the habit of screaming for help, and standng paralysed till it comes, sur- vives theyears when care was always aboutand help at hand. For ourowu parts, we advocate the system of ‘f wise neglect” which allows childâ€" ren to run,into small childish difli- culties, and leaves them to get out of them again without help, rather than that which removes every straw from their path lest they trip ever it, covers every smallest bruise with '0 Men “'Onl; and suffers no free use of their faculties lest that free use should include the Wholesome lesson of pain taught by experience and the unimportant consequences of minor mishaps. We think the cul~ tiva'ion of that faculty, or rather of that ready result of many faculties, called in the concrete presence of mind, worth a little pain and danger to attain. It may save life in the future to have a contusion now; and a scalp-wound at eight is better than Presence of Mind. a crushed skull at eight-and-twenty. The mOrst daring men are generally those who come triumphant out of the danger; and those who fail and full are, for the most part, men who as childran were over cared for, and so have never learnt how to take care of themselves when the hour of peril was on them. In conversation and the play ()f'wit,‘ presence of mind is a necessity. if. one would not be worsted and putl into the lower place. The most fa- mous anecdotists, the most popular humorists, and their consequence, and offshoots, the most favourite‘ diners-out, have had this quality ini rich abundance. They could cap an-; ecdotes, quotations, histories, strange l events, with unfailing quickness and felicity. There might have been in‘ the room some who knew more than ‘ they, but whose resources were un- available because of the want of that mental readiness which is, in its way, mental vitality. The lesser light burned the "brighter because it had the larger openings through which to shine; the larger gave no bril- ,liancy at all, because its envelope was denseandletnothing through. Read- ing makes a full man, writing an ac- curate one, speech a ready one, says our great legal sage; and quickness of speech. like presence of mind. comes from practice. No one jumps. at once into the position of a smart speaker. He has to fall many times before he learns to run swil'tly. and to suffer the consequences of more than one blunder be’l’ore he hits on the right method of sharp reply, of ready humor, of answering fun with fun, and keeping up the ball without suffering itto drop for lack of breath. But with practice much may be done; and the faculty called presence of mind is a thing to be learned like any other, these succeeding best who have mest natural aptitude, but none beinEr hopelessly incapable. 1.

It is easier to bear up under our mis- fortunes than to survive the comments of our friends on them. . A plain Wisconsin man, horrified at overbearing his wife ejaculate, " That's the kind of a clothes-pin I am,” went out to attompt suicide. A little man observed that he had two negative qualities: he never lay long in bed and he never wanted a great coat. “ I don’t care much about the bugs,” said VVarmley, to the head of a genteel boarding-house, “ but the fact; is, madam, I haven’t the blood to spare ; you can see that yourself.” A elopement in Millburx, Mass, had no novel feature, but it called attention to a. strangely complicated family. The wife who eloped was twentyâ€"one years old, having been married seven years, and the husband whom she left. wan sixty»seven. The husband’s two sons by a previous wife are married to his recreaub wife's two older sister, and her hruther is the husband of her husband's daughter. This being the fiftieth year of the organization of the American Sunday- school Union, a series of semi-centen- nial celebrations are to be held in [the chief cities of the United States. Since its formation 60,000 Sunday-schools have been organich and 3,000,000 teachers and scholars have been gath- ered Logvther. The Union now cun- tnins over 1,200 Sundayâ€"schools in the United States. The Honolulu Gazette says a violent snow storm visited Hawaii on the 2nd of March, covering the three stately summits of the three mountains of that; island. On the low lands it rained very hard. and the lightning played brilliantly over the island, followed by incessant and terrific claps of thunder.

After leaving the office, I asked the driver if the man he spoke to was real- ly a judge. ‘ Certainly, sir,’ he replied. ‘We lmd a cock fight last week, and he was made :i judge on tlm'l; occasiou.’ ” thyminea A most cruel 'and dastardly outrage was perpetrated the other day upon James Bradshaw, employed at the hammers at the Crewe Steel \Vorks, England. After leaving his work Bradshaw entered a beerhouse, where he found a. maxi who goes by the sobri- qnet of’Flnnkey, and who was a la- borer in the works. It so happened that Bradshaw had occasion to find fault with him at his work, and Flun- key determined to have his revenge. Bradshaw being a fine, powerful fellow, and Flunkey rather diminutive, the latter dared not attack him openly ; but as Bradshaw, unconcernedly,had his back toward Flunkey, the latter sud- denly took his greasy cap, saturated with the'oil accumulations, of years, from his head, and placed it on the fire. The cap blazed up fiercely, and with the burning oil and grease streaming from it, he clapped it on Bradshaw’s head, and held it there for some mo- ments, setting the hair on fire, burning his head and face in a terrible manner, and rendering him nearly blind. Brad- shaw gave a yell of agony. and leaped forward, dazed, upon which the rufiian escaped. The Allgémeine Zeitung gives a de- plorable account of the Condition of Persia. The revenue is 8,000.000 to- mans, or £3,000,000 ; while the expen- diture, including the lavish outlay of the Shah and his numerous harem, is 5,000,000 tom-ans. 'A. certain sum in gold is yearly deposited in a gigantic vault, where since the times of the early Kings chests of gold have been placed and lie unproductive, thus grudâ€" ually exhausting the wealth of the country. The Shell cannot be induced to spend any of it on railways, canals, or mines. The Provincial Governors are mostly the Shah’s relative, and are devoid of any administrative capacity. Their tenure of office mainly depending on the sum they forward to the central treasury, they are sometimes superseded by men who offer to furnish a larger amount. Considering the dizu‘uonds possessed by the Shah and his \VlV‘nS, he is, personally, the richest sovereign in the world, but his country is the poorest that can be found. The 30,000 pc'rsmm who annually make a pilgrim- age probably expend 9,000,000 rupees out. of the country, and all imports have ‘to be paid forin cash, so that gold has almost disappeared. The water supply is very unequally distributed, and is not economized. Dams and canals would fertilize hundreds of miles of barren soil. The tolls levied on telegrams passing through the Persian portion of the line amount to about 5% lacs of rupees a'year ; but there is no other source , of revenue besides the crown rents. ‘ Owed t-o springâ€"fresh violets.

I recall somewhat sadly, now that he is gone, how well he illustrated the laziness of a class of Vir- ginians. The story was a. part of his Congressional canvassing. On one oc- casion he got across the Pennsylvania line into a village of Virginia. He was in the midst of a group around the tav- ern. While treating and talking, a procession approached; which looked like a. funeral. He asked, who was to be buried '1 “Job Dowling,” said they. “Poor Job!" sighed the general. He was a good-natured, good-for-noth- ing, lazy fellow, living on the few fish he caught. and the squirrels he killed, but mostly on the donations of his neighlmrs. “So poor Job is dead is he 7” r “ Fact is, generai, he has got; too in- fernal all-fired lazyfir) live. \Ve can't afford him any more.

About this time the procession came up and halted, when the general pr0~ posed, if they would let Jul) out, he would~send over a bag of com. 011 this announcement the lids of the cof- fin opened, and Job languidly sat up; the cents dropped from his eyes as he asked, “ Is the corn shelled, general ’1” “ No, not shelled." “Thrm,” said Job, as he lazily lay down, “go on with the funeral!"â€" Ilmrper's Magazine for 111013;.
