On the street the other day we saw a fret. ful mother roughly shaking and chiding, for “ being so cross," a sensitive child,-who shrank in nervous terror from the harsh blast of a toy trumpet, sounded in his cars by a jolly little urchin, who evidently had intended to ’ve pleasure, not pain. The frightened chiIil, with pale face, trembling lips, and pathetic little suppressed sob, struggled manfully to conquer his nerves, and his wounded heart. “ Cross ” was clear- ly the very last word that should have been applied to the suffering little fellow, whose nerves was set a-trembling for at least one Novels. \Vliat we seek in novels is pleasure. ' If information or philosophy be found in them, their presence is incidental, if not accidental. If you want a sure indication of a young man, be sure to find out the nature of his pleasures. Some sensations can be relished 0111 by ersons of abad disposition. If you fin a b asphemous or linentions book in a man's library, you naturally begin to doubt his integrity. Many who would recoil from association with vicious companions do not hesitate to read vicious books ; but the book can do as much mischief as the companion, if not more. In intercourse with others we are active, and may influence them as much as they influ- ence us ; but we yield ourselves to the power of a book passively, especially when we read it for the very purpose of having our passions stirred. And )assion is the seat of charac- ter. Telly w iatryou love, and we will tell you what you are. Conscience is alman's compass, Intellect his lamp, W'ill his imple- nient of labor, but his Love is himself. 0f purely intellectuail ideas We are merely spec- tutors. “'0. know that the facts that answer,pathjea to be overcome when a contrary course would have produced serious conse- quences ; perhaps, even death. to them exist somewhere, and that is all. But we take emotions right into ourselves. “'6 share them. They transform us. If ' we read of a deed of wrong, we do not sim- ply recognize it as fitted to call forthanger-u we are angry. If a narrative excites our compassion, we experience (according to the etymology of the word) a. co-passionâ€"--sufl'er- ing with the sorrow we read of. Indeed, if our imagination be vivid and powerful, we merge our identity in that of the hero of our tale. “'0 become actors in its various scenes. \‘Ve are, at the bidding of the cnclianter who sways us by his book, Julius Caesar, or Ma- homet, or Confucius, daring explorers or suc- cessful lovers, sneerers at virtue or benevo- lent millionaires. If our hero is selfish, so are we; if he is brave, we keep step with him in his boldest march to danger. How cruelly then must the character of an im- ressible youth suffer, when imagination ibses his passions into a burning stream that is capable of taking any mould, if his hero be Jack Sheppard, or some Italian poisoner, or the lawless and lustful hero of some French romance l ‘ _ A novel ma do harm by being one-sided as well as by liking radically bad. - Dickens; with, all his merits, is chargeable with this fault. He is well characterized by M. Taine ~*“ In reality the novels of Dickens can all be reduced to one phrase, to wit: Be, good and love; there is genuine joy only in the emotions ; sensibility is the whole man.” He describes grandly the lace and might of the citenient. almost into convulsions at the sight of a dog or cat. animal to be about their )remiscs ; and with equal good sense, would child's terrors to be spoken of in her pres- ence. animals approached her, she was always taken up, as if when their beauties and good qualities were pointed out to her, though she was never asked to touch them. how the child has gromi to be a young woman, conspicuous for her fondness for all animals, and espec- ially for dogs and 'cats. abruptly attempted to make her conquer her antipathy, probability, have been so deepened, that she 'could‘never have risen above it. In a similar case, of which we have been told, the child died in convulsions, induéed by being com- pelled to touch a horse, the object of its ner- humoring such fears, talking about them in all their lives subject to the bondage of an whole dayâ€"not so much from the shock of the discordantblast, which a few kind words might have sOothed‘away, as by the subse- quent rough handling and rougher tones of his mother, and by his own very great effort at self-command. , Of course, the cruelty of his mother was unconscious, but not, on that account, much the less culpable. It should be the business of those who have the care of children, not onlyto see that they have proper food and clothing, but also to study their characters, dispositions, and nerves. Notwithstanding the attention that scientific physicians are now paying to the nervous system, we can- not yet expect to know the reasons why a noise, an odour, a touch, that is innocuous to most, to a few may cause terror, or pain, or faintness, or death. Yet by observation, we may find out what affects unpleasantly the nerves of the child intrusted to our care, and, by avoiding as far as possible exposing it to the care of its nervous fears, or irrita~ tion, and by gently soothing it when such exposure is unavoidable, gradually incur its nerves to bear with fortitude the painful ox- In this way we have known nervous anti A little girl whom we knew was thrown The parents would not allow either never permit the If, by chance, one of the obnoxious y accident, and her attention di< verted.

I A striking instance of the danger of disre- benevolent affections, at he does not seem to know that there is such a thin as con- science, and is utterly incapable 0 estimat- ing its influence on character. Hence a re- ligious man is always with him a hypocrite, a. sneak and a fool. A very common mm of one-sidcdncss, and one that is almost insepa- rable from romance, is that which deals in the marvellous, which makes one} tional events the staple of life, which ma 'es its heroes turn out to be the sons of somebody extraordinary, and so come into the possess ion of large fortunes. And the youth, as he dreams over page ofter page ,of this kind .of stuff, has fair visions of marrying some heir- ess and enjoying money he never earned, or of getting fame by merely wishing for it, till the soap and candles or the lane and chisel become quite distasteful, an he sympathizes with the would-be suicide whose self-imposed epitaph was : “ I was made by God to be a man, but-doomed byman to be a grocert". \Ve will speak of but ‘nne mere eV‘lI arising from novel reading, and it is one that may be fostered by the very best of novels if read in excess-while and ill-regulated sentiment- ality. Feeling is designedto be the spring of action, but it is often divorced from ac- tion, and becomes a mere luxury which may be indulged for pleasure by the most selfish of men. Rousseau and Sterne furnish im- pressive examples of the gushing sentiments and heartless lives of such epicures of emo- tion. Sentiments lowers the character if we do not pass it on into deeds, and there might be real benefit derived from the, humorous expedient suggested by Henry Rogers, to keep a sort of debtor‘and creditor account between our sentiments and deeds. Thus-~â€" “ For the sweet tears I shed over the roman- ‘tic sorrows of Charlotte Devereux, sent three basin of grucl and a flannel petticoat to poor Molly Brown.” ‘-‘ For sittingu tlirec’liours bcyOnd the time over the ‘ Ban it"s Bride," gave half 2i crown to Betty Smith. ww~m~ HUMAN nature is weak, afterndl, and there are tracks from the .woodpile to-ihe house round the corner, lay it to the cats.

' ' .1 -.o.-~..v_..~_~._ Save. If the present stringency in the monetary clement would only leadto a wise economy, and teach men to husband their resources, it will, iii'tbe long run, hhve been of incalcu- blc benefit to the country. There is no doubt of the fact that we are apt in, times of prosperity to live too fast ; at least up to, if not sometimes beyond our legitimate in- come, and tho rosult‘is oft-times disastrous. Bacon says very wisely, “Certainlv, if a man will keep out of evcnbhand, his ordinary ox- penses ought to be but to the half of his- recei ts; and if he think to wax rich, but to that ird part." ' - > . Economy is the safest and most certain means of success in business, in this country, or in any other. There are certainly spec ulators and heirs, who come suddenly into the possesion of wealth ; but they are exceptions probabilities of success in life. 1 less poverty, or ignoble dependence. be trusted with success, the difficulty is, otherwise. The first of all business rules, success, and with which every one will i agree, is~-â€"“ get all you can,” honorably, and legitimately, of course ; for ,we would flnot suppose that our readers could make use of questionable, or unworthy means. The farâ€" mer has a right to make his" fields yield the greatest possible crops, and then to sell in the best market. The merchant purchases in the most advantageous market, and then should sell so as to serve both himself and his customer, so as to receive a return for his pains, and secure a continuance of the con- dencc of others. The same rule ap lies to every business and profession ; the la orer is worthy of his hire, and the owner of capital has a ri rht to farm his means. lut t is second rule is almost more impor- tant than the first, for without it, getting money would be like pouring water into a man who had risen to great eminence in his profession, and to honor in his city, was asked how his father had been able to ed- ucate so large a family, on so liberal a scale, and then 'vc them so good a start in the world, whi e he himself was in but moderate circumstances. “ Oh,” said be, “my father was worth a thousand, but my mother was worth a million.” The stopping of unneces- sary leakage is as important as the obtainin of means ; and in the accomplishment of this, no one is more efficient than a careful wife, who has the benefit of husband and children more at heart, than the soulless frippery and folly of fashionable life. But there is such a thing as false economy, which is much more a throwin away of cod than a sauna. If times are aIittle har , or money a littIe scarce, people begin to look around to see where they can save, and then they lop their expenses. But where do they begin ? Too generally at the wrong end. Less books are bought, the weekly journal, so much prized by wife and children, is ban- ished ; and so they go on, putting intellect and soul on short allowance, while the stom- ach is loaded with unnecessary food, the body decked with worse than useless trap- pings, and very frequently habits, such as the use of tobacco and grog, not only useless, but absolutely injurious, are fed as though they were the most sacred of life’s duties. Let such as these learn that “ it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and cast it unto dogs.” â€" «cuâ€"W ~ â€"»~~â€" Expenditure of the Sultan. From a French account of the Sultan of Turkey we learn that the Palace expenditure has been ten millions of dollars a ygar since his accession. His servants number 5,500â€" the kitchens employing 500, the stables 400, the menagcrie 200, while there are 400 mu- sicians and 300 doorkeepcrs. The Harem has 1,200 inmates. There are 600 horses, and the stables cost $200,000 a year. Of Palaces and Kiosques the number is 21, and the buildin l expenses since the Sultan’s ac- cession Tiave been prodigious. The Sultan visits his menagerie every day, makes fa- vourites of some of the wild beasts and birds, while to others he conceives antipathics on account of the tone of their voice, or for some other absurd reason, and with fatuous spleen baiiishcs them to the extremity of the Sarag- lia. H c has also a passion for Chinese and Japanese art, and has this year spent $300,- 000 on pictures. The office-holders minister to his fancies by splendid presents, which they recoup ten-fold by extortion from the taxpayer. To maintain this auspicious sys- tem, together with Mahominedanisin and polygamy, two Christian powers plunged into a sail iinary and costly war. The remarka- ble t ing is that though these facts were perfectly patent, though the causes of Turk- ish decline were known by every well- infornicd and observant person to be in undiniinished activity, and the shallow trick of the Turkish exchequer, paying the interest out of the capital of the loan was equally visible to all who cared to see it, capitalists should have gone on blindly advancing money till the Turk had accumulated a debt amounting to nearly two hundred millions sterling. Sheridan divided mankind into borrowers and lenders, the former being the dominant, the latter the inferior race. Ac- cording to this view of thin s the Turk has preserved his dominion in 31 its majesty. ~â€"â€"-<W~»>A-v~-o The Standing Armies of the World. Just think of it 1 Three inilllions of men, or about three-quarters the population of Canada are maintained in the various stand- ing armies of the civilized nations of the world. All these are snatched away from useful industries, and condemned to idleness and a vicious life, while the laboring people are taxed for their support and for the costly armaments they require. The annual amount of the military and naval budgets of Europe is $596,963,300 ; the loss of labor involved by the withdrawal of so many men from pro. ductive industry costs $660,874,460 ; and the interest of capital invested in military and naval establishments amounts to 3152,- 200,000. This makes a total of more than $1,400,000,000 taken every year from the people of Christendom for the maintenance of military establishments. But this is not all ;for nearly as many more men are re- quired to wait upon them in some form or other, and they, too, become consumers of the world’s supply of food. The first effect of this is thatthe finances of nearly all Eu- ropean States are embarrassed. On the other hand, let us for a moment suppose that, by an understanding with the great powers, 3. disarming in the roportion of one-half was effected. Immediately more than 2,500,000 of men, from twenty to thirty-five years of age, are restored to the labors of peace, and at once an annual saving of $640,000,000 is effected on the totality of European budgets ~~a sum which would pay off in twenty years all the European national debts. . “WPâ€"www- Utilization of Cobwebs. Cobwebs have been applied tdvarious uses. The delicate cross-hairs 1n the telescopes of surveyin instruments are fine webs taken from spi ers, of species that is specially se- lected for their production of an excellent quality of this material. The spider, when caught, is made to spin his tlirea by tossing him from hand to hand, in case he is indis- poscd to furnish the article. The end is attached to a iecc of wire, which is doubled into two para 01 lengths, the distance apart cxceedin a little the diameter of the instru- ment. 2 s the spider bangs and descends from this, the web is wound u. n it by turning the “ire around. The coi s are then gummed to the wire and kept for use as required. About a. century ago, Boa of Lan- guedoc succeeded in making a pair of gloves and a pair of stockings from the thread of the spider. They were very strong, and a beauqu gray color.

THE recklessness of excitement was never better illustrated than when a Toronto lad rushed into a confectionery store the other day and asked for ten cents' worth of “drum gops.” IT is estimated at “'sshington that in 420 years more America will be without fuel. A good many of us will be dead by that time, and some will have no cause to complain of lack of heat. IT has been discovered that the some kind of calm-mg matter which poisons the striped stockings is also used to color bad whiskey. In both cases it goes to the logs and ruins the understanding.

A MARRIAGE in the very highest tier Of so- cial life has been one of the quiet sensations lately transpiring in Tahiti. 0n the 27th of October, Dorrence Atwater, United States Consul for the Society Islands, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to the Princess Moetia, daughter of a cliiefess of royal blood.

Her mother owns half the Islimd of Morea (the paradise of Elmed, as old navigators call it) and extensive possessions on the Island of Tahiti. M oetia has three brothers, splendid specimens of South Sea. chiefs. The young- est, Narii, is about nineteen years old, six feet two inches in height and weighs 200 pounds, and as straight as an arrow.

A flush of gratified delight spread over tho gentleman's face, and he afterwanlsexpressod astonishment atfithe recollection.
