f -V..., V . - "7? r ' I: I F i 1 I J 1 1 I Toy-Land. "Wood-carving is the chief occupation of many a mountain village both in the Tvrol and in Switzerland; but in no place lias it been carried to greater perfection or been ntered into more thoroughly by the inhabitants than at St. Ulrich. Ona branch of it, indeed, the manufacture of wooden toys, particularly dolls, may be considered almost a specialty of the district; for the little town of St. Ulrich is the great storehouse from -which the chief toy-traders of Europe, we might al most say of the world, draw those rich and inexhaustible supplies which brighten po many nurseries and gladden the hearts of so many little ones. The art is said to have been introduced into the valley about the beginning of the last century, since which time it has been the principal em ployment of the inhabitants, male and female, young and old alike; for ancient grandfathers and grandmothers m-iy be seen steadily pursuing the vocation that has been theirs from their earliest years; and as soon as the little boys or girls can be safely trusted with knives, they begin their rude endeavors to carve the form of some animal or toy which is the particu lar liDe of their lamilv- This is one of the odd things in connection with the trade, that, as a general rule, each family or group of families has its own s-peciil department, from -which tliey do not de viate. Some catve, some paint, some gild; tlie pointers olt-n working only in one particular color; while th; carvers constantly slick to the manufacture of one or two, or at the most of half a dozen aiima's, of certain toys or certain por tions of toys and dolls, and so on through all the endless ramifications of their Lil lipution industry. It is a most curious si "lit to watch them at work. Thy us-i no models, and work entirely by rule of thumb; long practice having made them so perfect that they turn out the tiny ar ticles with jut the slightest hesitation, every one as precisely atike as if they had been cast in a mould. In this way are manufactured the varied collection of an imals fouud in Noah's Ark. Some fami lies will cut out lions, tigers, camels, ele phants; others, sheep, oxen and deer; others, chielly birds; while another group will produce the wonderfully dressed lit tle men and women popularly supposed to represent Xoah and his seven human companions. The coloring of thee pro ducts ns is quite another branch of the trade; and while the carving goes on at all times with unabated regularity, the painting of the various articles id only udded as they are required; that i-, when orders come from the toy dealers; and this frequently varies according to cir cumstances; 8 that the coloring fnd gilding business is not on the whole so steady and profitable as the carving. There are several shops and warehouses where the articles thus manufactured are sold; but there are two leading merchants who act as wholesale exporters, buying the carved work either from the people themselves, or from minor agent?, who realize a small profit by acting as middle men. Permission can readily be obtained to visit those establishments; and it is a curious and amusing sight to walk through the extraordinary collection of dolls and toys gathered together under one roof. The dolls are in themselves a very wonderful exhibition. There are rooms upon rooms quite filled with them, of every size and style, small and large, p unted and unpainted; their size varying from tiny atoms scarcely an inch long, to huge figures of nearly a yard in length, mot or them jointed, and the greater part uncolorcd, and just as they came i from the hands of the carver. They are carefully sorted, according to their va rious sizes; and great shelves and cases in every direction are crammed with them. Some sizes are more popular than others, a very favorite length being about two inches; of this size one of the great doll merchants of St. Ulrich buys thirty thousand every week during the whole year. The makers of this kind can turn out about twenty dozn a day, each skill ful worker; the painting being quite an after concern, with which the carvers have nothing to do. Here also are bins filled with w ooden animal?', also of differ ent sizes and different degrees of excel lence; for while some are merely roughly shaped and the production often of very young children, others are carved with very great care and dexterity, and are faithful representations of the creatures they are intended to imitate. All the numerous toys with w hich we are familiar in the shop-;, or which we have played with in childhood, here first spring into beiug. North's Arks, empty and full; armies of wooden soldiers on horseback and on foot ; farmyards of various dimen sions, stored with every article needful for the juvenile agriculturist; dolls' fur niture of every size and pattern; sets of tea-cups and saucers, and all kinds of do mestic utensils; little wooden horses, lit tle wooden carts. In short, it is toys, toj-s everywhere; and even with all our experience of the capacity of children for acquiring such poss-es-ions, it is really difficult to credit the fact that this enor mous manufacture and unceasing distri bution go on, like the poet's brook, '-for ever." Chambers' Journal. Trutitfcl and Obedient. "Charley, Charley." Ciear and sweet the voice rang out over the common. ''That's mother," cried one of the boys, instantly throwingdow n his bat and pick ing up his cap and jacket. "D.m t go yet !" "Have it out!" "Just finish the game!" cried the players, iu noisy chorus. '1 must go, right off, this minute. I told mother I'd come whenever she called." "Jlnke believe you didn't hear!" they all exclaimed. "But I did hear." "She'll never kuow you did." "But' I know it, and" "Let Lim go," said a bystander. "You can do nothing with him. He is tied to bis mother's apron strings." "Yes," said Charley, "and there is where every boy ought to be tied; and in a hard knot, too." "But I wouldn't be such a baby to run the minute she called," said one. "I don't call it babyish to keep oue's word," said the obedient boy, a beauti- iui ugni glowing in ins eyes. "1 call it manly for a fellow to keep his word with his mother; and if he doesn't keep his word to her, see if he keeps it to any one else. A snin.iNj piece was not long ao r i .-. i 3 i . . . , lounu in Xjngiana, wnicn 6nowca on ex amination that the obverse and the re verse of the coin were divided, but united by a fine screw. Being opened, a half penny was enclosed, which also was di vided; that being opened, a farthing was enclosed, and also divided; within the last, a half-farthing was similarly en close!. This elaborate penny is the same as the old, heavy penny of George III., dated 1799. It has been placed in the British Museum. j The Rotterdam Gardens. Here we are in Rotterdam. We guess we are in Holland from the aspect of the country through which we have been passing, and we know this must be one of its principal cities from the bustle and evidences of business activity which we see about us. How odd the people look 1 What queer costumes and droll figures they seem to our stranger eyes. ""That woman there with her wooden shoes, her clean white linen and fancy head-dress what a sensation she would create if sud denly transported and set down in the streets of Boston just as she is ! But as we are bound for the Hague and Amsterdam, let us find our way to the railroad station. How narrow and clean the streets are, and how strange it seems to see the vessels at the doors of the warehouses in the center of the city. There is a young man, clerk probably of the establishment, leauing from the window of the counting-room and talking with the Dutch skipper on the very deck of his vessel. It seems convenient to have tilings literally at one's door as they are here. This bridge is a draw-bridge, and through that one yonder they are passing an un wieldly canal-boat. The skipper, with his farmly, lives on board ; and there, near the stern, sits the mother, knitting away, while rne who may be the oldest boy stands at the tiller and guides the crntt as it creeps along. About the deck toddles the baby, and the little ones ap pear perfectly at home in their floating dwelling. This is the railroad s'atiou ; but as it is some time before the train will start, let us step into these gardens opposite. We enter a broad avenue extending a long distance before us, shaded by trees of all varieties, from whose branches depend Ciiges containing birds of rare and bril liant plumage, which represent the feath ered foresters of all parts of the world. They greet us with shrill cries, especially the green paroquet there whose voice seems to pierce one s head. On our leu at some distance is the res taurant of the garden an open-air cafe where are served soda-waters and light wines, together with ices and cake3. It appears to be well patronized, and a good military band dispenses music in a really artistic and acceptable manner. Now we approach the aviaries. In these large cages, constructed of coarse wire netting, the meshes, of course, beiug too fine to permit the escape of the small est inmate, are conhned birds of all spe cies and climes from the representative of the Russians to the golden-plume J ca nary of the tropics. They flit about from perch to perch, and chirp and siug mer rily, seemingly free as air, but neverthe less captives. In the adjoining compartment are kept the long-legged flamingo and secretary- bird. See the one in the corner; what an odd figure he cuts standing on one leg with the other foot resting on his knee, while the quills on his head have the ap pearance of a pen behind the ear of a hu mau notary or book-keeper! They have a most sober, and at the same time, mirth-provoking aspect as they 6tand there for minutes without ever moving a feather, but all the while their sharp eyes snap so brightly. Notice that one drinking. As he stretches his long neck and dips his bill into the water, then raises his head and apparently "smacks his lips," he seems to enjoy his draught full as much as those Dutchmen at the table yonder do their lager. It would be better for them no doubt if they knew no stronger beverage than that which our flamingo in his Caere sips and is content with. Here are thefledi eaters, the ba'd-eagle and the fierce vulture, together with the raven and carrion crow. They present as different appearance from their long legged neighbors as could well be im agined, as they sit on the branches of the trees and gaze at the spectators with sav age eves. They are useful creatures though, and however unpleasant they may appear, should be treated kindly. But what is this? Have we stumbled on to the ruin of some ancient castle, or is it a fanciful structure erected to give variety to the scene? It appears to be the former but it is the latter; a clever imitation of an old tower, which has fallen to pieces through storm or assault, while the dark stones have become cov ered with a green mantle of beautiful and and graceful creepers totally concealing the structure itseit. The rays of the sun are reflected, and glint from a thousand brilliant surfaces w hich sparkle like diamonds. This beau tiful effect is produced by pieces of glass whic h nave beeu mixed in with the com position of which the ruin is made. How beautiful and picturesque it looks! It carries us back a hundred years, remind ing us of the stories we used to read. But the time approaches for the train to start and we must leave the place. We do so with a feeling that the hour has been well spent, and with most pleasant remembrances of the Zoological Gardens ot Rotterdam. Carl Coral, in Portland (Me.) Transcript. Mips Martin eac Harriet Martineau had her romance. At the age of twenty four she became virtually engaged to i siuuent itienuoi ner oroiner james. Mie 1 1 f A 1 . 1 , m was at first anxious and unhappy. Her veneration for his morale was such that she felt she dared not undertake the charge of his happiness, and yet she dared not refuse because she feared it would be his death-blow. She was ill she was deal she was in an entangled state of mind between conflicting duties, and many times did she wish, in her fear that she would fail, that she had never seen him. Just when she w as growing happy, surmounting her fears and doubtand en joying his attachment, the consequences of his long trouble and suspense overtook him. He became suddenly insane, and after months of illness of body and mind he died. The calamity was airoravated to her by the unaccountable insults she received fiom his family, whom she had never seen. Years afterward, when his sister and Miss Martineau met, the mys tery was explained. His family had been given to understand, by cautious insinua tions, that she had been engaged to an other while receiving his addresses. Mis Martineau was always thankful that she never married. She never afterward was tempted nor suffered anything in relation to that matter which is held to be all important to woman love and marriage.

He tnonsmt mat pcrnaps tue solid diamond had in some way been dis- j solved by the water, and that by evapor ating the water, which was in the lo wer ! part of the bell jar iu w hich he burnt his diamond, he might obtain the constitu ents of the diamond in a solid form; but he found that no solid re?idue was left on evaporation, and thus no trace of the dia mond could be found. His next experiment was that of plac ing a diamond in the focus of a less pow erful lens than the one he had formerly used, so that the diamond was not heated to so high a temperature as before, again placing it, however, in a bell jar over wa ter. He then found that the diamond, when not heated quite so strongly, lost only about one quarter of its weight; it did not disappear altogether, but the re markable fact was noticed that it became covered w ith a black substance which La voisier describes as being exactly like lampblack or soot, so that it dirtied the fingers when touched, and made a black mark upon paper. Hence Lavoisier concluded that the diamond is susceptible of being brought, under certain circumstances, into the con dition of charcoal, so that it really belongs to the class of combustible bodies. He was, however, yet far from having proved this point, and he went on experiment ing. He next measured the volume of air in which he was going to burn the diamond, and found it to be eight cubic inches. Then be burned the diamond in this volume of air by means of a lens, and found that the air had diminished to a volume of six cubic inches, thus showing that the air had uudergone some change by the combustion of the dia mond, and that two out of the eight vol umes of air had disappeared. The next experiment he male wns to examine the condition of the air in which the diamond had been evaporated. What changes had gone on iu the air in conse quence ot the evaporation ot the dia mond ( After allotting ihtt glass iu which he had burnei the diainonl to stand for four days, he poured clear lime water into the jar in which the diamond had been evaporated, and he says this lime water w as at once precipitated la the same man ner as if it had been brought into contact with the gas evolved in effervescence and fermentation, or that given off in cases of metallic reduction. Here, then, he had got on the track of what he wanted. Hitherto the diamoud had apparently dis appeared, and nothing wa9 found to ac count for its disappearance; but now he had found that there was something con tained in that air before. The next step he took was to examine the white precipitate or powder which was toriued, and he lound that the nub stance thus precipitated from lime water, by the air in which the diamond had been evaporated, effervesced on treatment with acid, and evolved what was then kuown as fixed air, but which we now know as carbonic acid gas. Here, then, in his la-.t experiment he completes his proof, show ing that exactly the same effects are ob served when charcoal is experimented upon, instead of diamond. Lavoiier had now run his quarry to earth; he had determined exactly what it is that is formed when a diamond is burned. He has shown that a diamond when burned produces exactly the same substance that is produced when com mon charcoal is burned, and he, therefore, legitimately concludes that diamond is only another form of the element carbon. The reason that the diamond did not burn in the furnace when surrounded by a muss of charcoal, w as that the air, or rather the oxygen of the air, could not get to the diamond, because it was kept off by the charcoal, which burned instead of the diamoud. Professor lioscoe. Mother and Son. "May I see my boy, sir?" She was thiu and w an, her clothes wre poor but neat, and the trouble in her eyes showed that her heart was very heavy.

She went into the corridor aud sat where the shadow covered her face. - The tired head went against the wall, and the eyes were closed, liut betw een the lashes a drop or two forced their way, as if a misery was there that could break the bonds of pride or the courage of patient su tiering.
