A clergyman in Maine, who lives near the seacoast, narrates an occurrence which gave him a moment of disappoint­ ment, but which has also supplied Mm with a very good story to teii. He had planned a beautiful drive for the benefit of a lady from the west who was visiting his family--a lady who had never seen the ocean. The route was chosen in such a way that not a glimpse of the sea would be had until, at a cer­ tain bend in the road, the party would come out upon a high open space, com­ manding a magnificent view of the broad Atlantic. As the carriage came out upon the plateau the clergyman turned a beaming face on the lady, expecting from her an exclamation of delight; but instead of happiness on her countenance, he saw a look of longing. "Oh," she said, with a sigh, "how 1 wish I could see the Pacifiol"--Yoath'i Companion. Seen In the Metropolis. A refuse cart was close to the curb on Thirty-seventh street, between Madison and Fifth avenues, recently, while the driver, a healthy young Irishman, talked to a woman who had on each side a little chap dressed in sailor costume. Most passersby must have taken her for a nurse out with her charges from one of the fashionable houses near by. After two minutes' talk the woman lifted the lads one by one to the side of the rough driver, who had carefully spread a piece of stout paper over his cargo to protect the clothing of the children. One lad, tucked close under the driv­ er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins, while the other poked the staid horse with a short stick. The three drove off eastward, smiling, while the woman fol­ lowed on the sidewalk. The children were the driver's own, and they were as well dressed as half the children aative to the locality in which the scene oc­ curred.--New York Sun. Books with Uncut Leaves. ' ; • A book, the leaves of which areuactifc, possesses no value of an intrinsic char­ acter beyond one that is cut, but really less. For that matter, if it is to remain uncut, it is as valueless as it is useless. There is a class of book collectors, how­ ever, who place a premium upon books with uncut leaves, and so commend them in their advertisements and cir­ culars. There are persons who load certain shelves in their libraries with uncut books. Of course they are not for use and are not used, and are valueless except for keeping.--Brooklyn Eagle. . Bow Fishes Multiply. Piscatory authorities of the highest standard tell us that were It not for nature's grand "evening up" provisions, the fishes of the seas would multiply so vapidly that within three short years they would fill the waters to such an ex­ tent that there would be no room for them to swim. This will hardly be dis­ puted when it is known that a single female cod will lay 45,000,000 egra p# single season.--St. LOUIB Republic*; Size of Families In Europe. The average size of families in the various countries of Europe is as follows: France, 3.03 members; Denmark, 8.61; Hungary, 3.70; Switzerland, 8.94; Aus­ tria and Belgium, 4.05; Euglaud, 4.08; Germany, 4.10; Sweden, 4.12; Holland, 4.32; Scotland, 4.46; Italy, 4.56; Spain, 4.65; Russia, 4.83; Ireland, 5.20.

Whittier, the poet, it is reported, said to the doctors in attendance a day or two before his death, "You have done the best possible, and I thank you; but it is of no use--I am worn out."

AwsMnt Illustrations tn Priceless Haas* scripts. Even many otherwise well informed people are not aware that the public li­ braries of this city contain some of the choicest literary gems extant--books for which wealthy bibliophiles have offered fabulous sums. If New York is not the literary center of America, then books immense in number, rare in antiquity and almost priceless in value are not factors in the competition. There are thirty-four public libraries in New York, and the number and value of the volumes within their walls have grown so rapidly that Paris, Munich and even London will be surpassed in their library collections if the present growth continues. The day when the citizen of New Am­ sterdam was content to sit outside his door, drink beer, smoke, grow fat and die in the firm belief that he had enjoyed life, has given way to an entirely differ­ ent state of affairs. Twenty-five years ago one public li­ brary collection was considered sufficient to meet the demands of every class, call­ ing or profession. Today nine institu­ tions can be picked out, each one of which is patronized by a single class. The Astor is the richest of all our li­ braries. One million dollars' worth of books repose upon its shelves, but not without frequent disturbance. From fifty to 100 studious men and women are delving into the enchanting mysteries of some favorite theme every day that the reading rooms are open to the public. The library contains nearly $200,000 worth of rare books and manuscripts, which are seldom allowed to go into the hands of the public, Perhaps the largest snd finest single volume in New York may be found there. If any one thinks that the contemporaries of Shakespeare and Milton would marvel at the superb product of modern illustrators he is very much mistaken. Nothing has been pro­ duced in the last century that can equal, much less rival, the illustrations in a Seventeenth century manuscript entitled " Antiphonale." It contains 238 pages of vellum, adorned by 272 small and 68 large miniatures in the highest style of the French art of that day. Some of its illustrations have been attributed to Le Brun, the great painter of the time of Louis XIV. The larger paintings for the most part are scenes from the Scrip­ tures appropriate to the various church festivals, and many of the initial letters which accompany the stanzas are illumined in a style wholly unknown at the present day. This volume, bound in purple morocco, with gilt mountings and ornamented with the flower-de-luce, was designed for the coronation of Charles V. At a public sale it would easily com­ mand several thousand dollars. Another valuable work is Sylvester's ••Universal Paleography," in two vol­ umes, containii / upward of 300 finely executed facsimiles of mediaeval works of art. This sumptuous work i? said to have cost the sum of £20,000 for its exe­ cution alone. Among other rarities is a copy of the first letter written by Chris­ topher Columbus after he discovered America. There are only six copies of these in existence. The letter consists of only four leaves, but at a London auction sale in 1872 it brought $700. Another rare volume to be found only in this library is Lloyd's "History of Columbia, Now Called Wales," pub­ lished in 1654. It contains the legendary narrative of the expedition of Prince Modoc and a Welsh company that voy­ aged to America prior to Columbus, bnt never returned. Many foreigners have sent to this country for abstracts from this rare volume. The earliest known editions of Ptole­ my's geography repose on the shelves of the Astor. The dates on their title pages range from 1478 to 1621. There is also a superb specimen of the "Biblia Sacra Latina" of 1462, the first edition of the Bible bound in old crimson morocco, with gilt edges, which is worth $10,000. In­ side the covers are the names of those "immortal printers," Johann Faust and Peter Sohaffer. The oldest polyglot edition of the Scriptures, executed at the order of Cardinal Ximenes, which cost 50,000 ducats in gold and fifteen years for its preparation, is also at the Astor. The oldest manuscript of all is the "Lectiones Evangeliis," printed on vellum and containing whole page3 of illuminations. This manuscript was executed by the monks in A. D. 1470, and is almost priceless in value. No other library in America possesses such a treasure. Next in point of antiquity is John Wyclif s English version of the New Testament, written m 1390, and containing the autobiography of Hum­ phrey, duke of Gloucester. There are also two rich Persian manuscripts of the Fifteenth century, besides manuscripts of more recent date. Several competent Egyptologists, among them the late Miss Amelia B. Edwards, who inspected the collection during her visit to this city, have pro­ nounced the library especially rich in oriental works. The great work of James Audubon on the "Birds of Ameri­ ca," consisting of four volumes, would probably bring $5,000. Elliott's Indian Bible, dated 1661, the first Bible printed in America; the Geneva, or the Breeches Bible of 1560; a copy of the papal bull against Luther, 1520; rare Siamese manuscripts, and the valuable and in­ teresting collection of autograph letters from emperors, poets, statesmen, presi­ dents, soldiers and authors are included in this collection.--New York Herald.

At first blush it would seem to ha Impossible feat for a prifrntriaii aiHmf. defenceless woman, at that-*Jo fully bar three entrances to theBrOOk(lyn •; bridge. It took place on Bide one morning last week, wfceft &e wage workers were hurrying to.tbe metropolis, and a large assembly waa kept in a state of suspense for minutes that seemed ages. To explain the feat accomplished, yo*. , remember how the entrances are at- - ranged--a tfcket office on either side, be­ tween them two iron parallel bars lo guide you through. Between these rail* ings is a space through which yon pu«a on to the "chopping boxes," where ticketa are deposited, but if you have to par- chase them you pass between a ml anti the box. « She was a gray haired old lady and sha . wished to buy a ticket. There would have been less difficulty had it not been for the umbrella. It was thrust under the old lady's arm as a man poses hts umbrella when going up the "L" stairs --point to the rear and breast high. The old lady stepped into the middle space, and while the umbrella swung . ronnd like a tollgate bar, closing the space behind her, she reached over to ; the ticket office and calmly proceeded to open her purse, fumble a roll of bills, finally select one, and with both arms stop the passing of pedestrians until ia disgusted lot of humanity was dammed* A With the umbrella posed like an in> fantrvman's bayonet fixed to repel caval­ ry the old lady and her gnvy iiaiio the fort. At last her pennies and tickets had been picked up one by one. She gave way and the crowd surged around her like the floodtide around a shad pole. in the North river.--New York Herald. The Great Rule of life. We have to be governed very by the analogies of nature whenever we venture into the realm of the possibili­ ties and the unknown, and there is no analogy in nature of something being given for nothing. The seed has to push through the ground to find the sun; the tree has to draw its sap up from u&» seen sources to whirl forth its buds; tba bud itself has to force it» way through obstacles of bark and fiber; the bird has to build its nest with careful endeavor and many journeys ere it feels the .little wings beneath its breast; the gold has to be mined, the precious stone dug from the matrix; the diamond has to undergo fierce processes of grinding and scouring before its facets shine like living light. Struggle is the rule of life. Were it otherwise it would seem as though wa might all of us have been put upon the planet in conditions of laxury and aasa and eminence that would require no effort on our part, and leave us firee for all the enjoyment the world affords. . But what soft, untempered, worthlesa metal we should be in such case! It is the fire that tempers the steel; it is tha hammer that welds it; the grinding, whirling stone that brings it to an edgt* --Harper's Bazar. A Poor Folk's Garden. So early were collectors in California*, and so universal was the interest felt ia Europe over the new plant? of the Pa­ cific coast, that'many trees of sequoias and other superb conifers were planted in the parks of England, France sad Italy long before the discovery of gold* Wealthy Californiaus, as early as 1858, visiting Europe, were surprised to find how popular were the brilliant annuals, flowering shrubs, vines and trees of their own state. Returning they often urged neighbors to cultivate more of the native plants, but with little effect. In Alameda county, a plain, unedtt> cated Englishwoman of Lancashire yeo­ man stock was one of the first persons in all California to make a home garden of wild flowers from field and hill.
