The uneducated ascribe the term to those who are not compelled to labor for support, and who know of no better way to spend the hours than in idle luxury or self gratification; when, in truth, they may be the very ones who, above all others, fail to exhibit the least indications of a true lady.

How often is therein ihLj way an impassable gulf between those who were once on terms of pleasant intimacy! Conscious of inferiority in many respects, the less fortunate shrink from the customary salutation, and the other, surprised by the unusual coldness, without linking what the eause may be, fails to make the necessary advances. - In consequence, bitter feelings of envy and jealousy are engendered, and they who are already destitute of sufficient selfrespect, sink still lower in the esteem of the others, even while they assume an air of independence and contemptuous forgetfulness of their ormer acquaintances. It is to be regretted that the general ten at d dency is to become vain of possessions, and that many forget early poverty. But there are more exceptions to the rule than we sometimes think.

A vignette of the late Thaddeus Stevens, the "Great Commoner" of Pennsylvania has just been completed at the Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing in. the Treasuary Department, and will be used upon either the national currency or revenue stamps. The likeness is perfect, and the work is pro- . nounced as one of .the finest pieces of en- graving ever executed. Some time ago, M. Che vreul, having accidentally taken up a forgotten dish in which there was a hardened saline substance, found to his surprise that the surface was interrupted by what appeared to be a soft vegetation. The little moisture contained in the salt in a vicious state at the bottom had filtered through, partly melting the adjacent parts, which had led to their forming protruding crystals; these by capillary attraction, had drawn up more moisture, followed by a similar effect, so that in course of time a sort of shrub, composed of crystals, had grown up. At a late sitting of the French Academy, the learned geutleinan returned-t- o the subject, and produced a: watch glass on which a new arborescent matter Jias been formed of a vitreous appearance, and of the thickness" of only oner or two miiimetres, while the "shrub' ' wh ich had grown out of it was nearly two centimetres in altitude,J and of an average thickness of one centimetre, but instead of being transparent it was opaque. there was on the , surface nine small "pimples," which were likewise without transparency. In another watch glass there was a similar substance which' had assumed-th- e appearance of satin by the formation of minute crystals on the surface. Reasoniag on this matter, Mr. Chevreui admitted that the vitreous substances contained moisture in the first two specimens, but added that the third which, presented a superficial must have had much less. At all events, this was a new proof of the molecular motion which could take place even in solid; matter.
