A Most IVful Hat .Netflected Art. It Is the Too Early Worm That Octs Took In. Cincinnati Eu'juirer. One of the mout useful, yet neglectod, of all tho arts Is that of lying in bed. The damage that id done by persons getting up is pant all reckoning. Ail the mischief ami crime, the counterfeiting and forgery, the murder and thtft, arc perpetrated by parties who perniutin getting up What mau wa ever dunned by a creditor, bad bis eye put in mourning by a too clone proximity with dome one's fist, broke his leg ou a slippery pavement, was run over by an omnibus, who lay in bed? Vhit great acLiovements have been accompli-hod in war, in poetry, in literature, by gouiiiii abod! What noble thoughts have boeu bom between tho shoots, and, once, delivered from their authors' brains, gono, Jc-hn-liko, whistling down the race-course of time! ''Com ing events on! thiir tdiadows before" one of the most rartnorable lines in tho English lan guageoriginated with the gin-loving poet, Tom Campbell, one morning before he had arisen. IDngfellow thought out that exquisite poem, "Tho Vrock of the Hesperus, " after he had retired. Don Franklin said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wiso." Now, Franklin startod out all right, but got terribly mixed when ho said fcuarlv to rise." 'There is tho fatal mistake. People who rise early are sure to catch tho malaria; the ground is full of half-hatched poisonous germs; the sun is not np, aud has not warmed them into life, given them wings and sent them adrift, l'oor, misguided mau, ho arises, inhales them all; they fructify ana poison his entire system ; honce, chills, fever, malaria, and half the ills that human fltfsb is heir to. "Kise before the eun, And make a breakfast of the morning dew, Herved up by nature on some grassy trill; You'll find it nectar." Was ever more arrant nonsense written? Fancy a man getting up on a cold, rainy morn ing and climbing one of the high hills about Cincinnati on an empty stomach, and leaving his" French coffee and hot rolls, poached eggs and oyster stew, to eat, what? Why, dew. How long would that follow last? Wouldn't he be a fit candidate for Lougviow, and no Questions asked? But, the early bird catches the worm. Yes, but the sharp boy knooked that del union in the head forever and eternally when he said: "Father, there's the point; what in thunder did tho worm get up so early for V" Ha trilled with dostiny; ho tempted fate; h should not have done it That boy was a bone factor to the human race, lie .was sound ou the lie-abod question. Tho Fronoh proverb says Da lit a la table, de la table au lit "from bod" to grub, from grub to bed." That's something like it 3et up and eat, eat and go to bed again. Why not? All the animals do it AU nature, the grand mother of us all, teaches it Every animal in the world eats and seeks repose. The oow oats, and lying down placidly chews her cud: tho anaoon'da swallows an ox, horns and all, and goes to sleep "sleep that knits up the ravel ed sleeve of care ;the birth of each day'a life, eore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds: great nature's secoud course ; chief nourisher in fe'a feast" And yet this is what they would de prive us of who say get up, und who oppose the art of lying abei. A Spanish minister, suddenly raised to powor, signalized the event by going to bed aud staying there for fear that he might have somothiug to do. It was in bed, at the little inn at Waterloo, that tho duke of Wellington received the list of the terrible casualties of tho ratal ISth of July. Gray's "Ode to Musio" was written in bod, and Sam Johnson's "Lobo's Voyage to Abyssinia" was dictated to the printers before the great author of the "Lives of tho Poets" aud lexicographer had arisen. Peter Pindar (Dr. Wolcott) was so fond of ly ing abod that ho received his visitors beneath spreads and counterpanes. Rossini wrote one of his finest operas in bed, and was too lazy to rick up a sheet that had fallen away. George V. lay in bed to read the newspapers, and Maeaulay read twenty pages of Schiller before getting up. John Foster thought out his ser mons in bed, and the methodical Anthony Trollops used to read an hour before getting up. Cynical Pope wrote: "I wake at night. Fools come into my head and oo I wrie." Mrs. Macbeth strikes" the key-note when she shouts, "To bed! to bed!" People hunt the world over for pleasure, indulge in all sorts of mad pranks in their search for reoroation and repose, roam from the North pole to the Southern Cross, penetrate African jungles and freeze with Siberians and Laplanders, climb tho Alps, swelter at Saratoga and Long Branch in pursuit of pleasure. Alas! they seek hap piness where it is not, and neglect It where it Is iu Led Protecting tli Obelisk. Peck's Sun. Thero is a move oa foot to provide suitable means for protecting the obelisk in Central park, New York, from injury from changes of tho weather. Ono party suggests that it be inclosed in a glass case, and another wants to see an immense museum built around it with a tower for the obelisk to stand up in. It is not known as yet what will be dono,' but ic is pretty certain that the obelisk will have some sort of a protection, if it is not more than a tariff or a liver pad AnKftVetive Iturslar Trap.

A country store keeper in Connecticut hav ing been annoyed by robberies of tho contents of his cash drawer, lately contrived the follow ing trap: lie arranged iu the floor a trap door which perfectly matched the boirds of the door.

Most of the weaithy society ladies, says a New York letter writer, have hitherto content ed themaelves with half livery for their coach man and footman and a white vest and swallow-tail coat for the butler-, but tfcis winter a more, clabprte costuue has boen introduced Hundreds of pairs of Parisian top boots nave been imported for coachmen and footmen, who have heretofore worn their boots inside tueir trousers, and Mrs. William Iv. Vandorbiit has taken the lead in putting her servants into full European costume, hroechos, silk stockings, ample vest, und long, full coat of the shad stomached variety, and a Uttie linen picaet under each ear. The many colors of the French flunkey are superseued by & uniform claret, broken only by white silk stockings, I have never seen such a her aldic fronzy as prevails here now. Carriage doors have suddenly blossomed out in bright colors red and blue sud green hous ram pant, eagles flippant, aud held argent with wattled gules, and all sorta of cottises and quartering.

American Oscar Wilde Who Oivos Ladies Points In "Harmony." Boclester (N. T.) Cor. San Frauciseo Chronicle. "Have you ever heard of the Ksthetio young man of ItochesUir?" queried my fair hoatona on the first morning after my arrival from Cali fornia. "No Rochester woman considers her house fit to live iu until that connoisseur of fine arts has cant his approving glance over her house hold goods and pats a vase in some impossible comer or places the clock where no liviug mortal would.ever think of looking for it He was bore only last week to make suggestions about the improbable perching of a beautiful white owl which I rocoived for a Christmas 6if" Owls are quite the thing now in tho way of decorations. "I promised to call this week and consult him about the purchase of some brtc-a-brae for my amaranth cabinet I must drive you this very morning to the shop where he sells bits of china to art-stricken women in a manner w hich is considered quite irresistible to Roch ester ladios. It would never do to introduce you iuto society circles hero until yon are in formed regarding the all-absorbing topic of conversation.1 Accordingly I soon found myself bowing be fore this modern Adonis, who, having been wound up and set going by some judicious questions and remarks from my friend, began learnedly discussing the merits of his wares. Ladies softly glided into the shop and quietly grouped themselves about us, listening with admiring awe to the words of wisdom which fell from his ruby lips. While they were im bibing high art with every breath of the sur rounding atmosphere. I took note of the per sonal appearance of the authority in art circles. If you will picture to yourself an esthetic parrot, with a choice sunplo of china in bis claw, one eye closed, while, with head on one aide, he gazes knowingly on the scrap of china with the other eye and discnurses wisely about aesthetic merits, you have the Rochester ideal young man in a nutshelL Imagine indescriba ble, glove-tittmg garmonts clothing a tall and slender form. He fitted his raiment as though he were made for it ! Out of it rose a swan hko throat and neck, supporting a wonderfully fair hoad and face; tho hair a faint straw color; the complexion transparently clear; his eyes growing dark or paling according to his inter est in and the pathos of his theme ; a long and sharp Roman nose, drooped like a parrot's beak over a delicate and sensitive mouth, as gracefully curved as a Cuuid's bow. Dazzling white teeth finish up tho conquest, when hav ing ended his elegant remarks, he pauses with a languid ir and allows bis rosy lips to close in a benevolent and condescending smile. Tho unfortunate women suddenly awake to the consciousness that they are gazing into the violet eyes, rather than "on the tea-cup en twined with lavender roans held up by a slender white hand. This, he said, was 'bis ideal sample of a tea set I never saw any lavender roses, but I supposed them to bo the "conventionalized flowers' which we haVe beard so much about ever since the. art fever set in. I asked to see a dinner service, whereupon Adonis inquired with eager interest whether my house was of Eastlake or Oothio architec ture and was my dining-room furnished after the old English "or French btyle. Would I al low him to call and see tho houso before he ventured to suggest the form, quality or color of the ware to be used? With true western hospitality I assured him that nothing would give me greater pleasure than to receive a visit from him, but that he would have rather a long journey to tako, as I lived in California. This seemed to puzzlo him for a few brief seconds, but he soon rallied and rose equal to tho emergency. Smiling sweetly, he remarked that if I would allow him to see the plans of the house that with my description of the furniture and some small samples of the carpets and hangings, he thought we should soon arrive at something so satisfactory and harmonious that the whole would become a symphony in form and color. "For," continued Adonis, "as the higher forms of architecture are 'like frozen music,' so may wo, make poetry of our common daily surroundings, provided there is perfect har mony in tone.'' Just then I felt my brain reel, undoubtedly caused by the fatigue of a long journey. Grasping my friend's hand, I murmured some inaudible thanks and hastened out for a breath of fresh Air. "Gertrude," orled my friend, "what is the matter? That man is so honorable that he would not sell yon a milk jng unless he knew tho kind of gas fixtures in the room where it was to be used Should yon be seen looking at cut glass he would inquire whether your room is heated by furnace or fireplace, 'as cut glass becomes so wonderfully radiant by firelight' " "A glance at a pepper-box would call forth an animated discussion about your grand mother's silver and whether you inherited Tours or came by it through a recent purchase, f you look at vases he tenderly and feelingly see'ks to know the style of paintings on your walls and the names "of the artists. Nor does he confine himself to the front of the house. Adonis says there is no reaeon why the potp, kettles and pans should not be artistic in form aud pleasing in color. He has introduced the old-fashioned shining brass tea-kettle into nearly all the better class of families in Roch ester. Some ladies have this kettle brought into the drawing-room during tho evening, where they serve hot tea in artistic little cups, every ono of which differs in shape or decora tion, yet has been especially chosen by Adonis to correspond with the surxoundings. "I have even known him to suggest to those who were building houses such architecture, finishings, frescoing, furniture and hanging? as he thought best suited the form, and aoia- lexion of the ladies who were to, occupy them. W hen tho houses are. finished ha delicately hints at the ctyvyaud color of the garments which would fender the ladies most effective and charming. "Ah ! it is a comfort to feel that one has a truly reliable person to cousult in all these matters, which are so important in domestic arrangements! Can anything be more delight ful than the consciousness that one has been instrumental in bringing about perfect har mony in bo many cheerful aud beautiful homes?" "Yes," I replied, "you are to be oengratu laei - ' PHILADELPHUL'S BEHEVOLXHOB. The Quaker City's Classified amd Well-Ordered Charity. Louise Stockton in The Continent.

In the British army in the officers often runs India betting among to an extreme of vice that is sometimes fearful to contemplate. Per haps it is no worse than in club life in Lon don, where the most amusing as well as tragi cal stories are told of the curious bets that are made. Betting on a certainty is held to be un fair, unless the avowal is distinctly made, so that no undue advantage is taken. An officer in the army had imported for his private apartments a new and beautiful ma hogany table. A day or two after it had ar rived and had been duly iustalled iu his quar ters, a brother officer, a great swell and very unpopular, dropped in familiarly, and greatly admired the Leautiful table. The owner was Shaving himself at tho glass with his back to his visitor Colonel Brown but continued the conversation until the colonel withdrew, the latter remarking that ho hoped soon to have his 'H under that elegant mahogany. The owner of the table, whom we must call Major Jones, made up a little dinner party iu the course of a few days, and Colonel Brown was one of the number. It was natural that Ute new table should be the subject of remark. and Brown, who affected to be a connoisseur in all matters, said the table was perfect, with one exception. j ones Ana pray wnat is mat, ceionei? Brown It is just a little too high. Jones Do you think so? How high would you suppose it to be? urowu l presume it is the usual height, ust thirty-six inches, and it oucht to be less than that bv at least half an inch. Jones That is the exact height, thirty. five and a half inches, not thirty-six as you suppose. Airown A'ardon me. 1 am certain it is throe feet high; I will make you a bet ou it Jones You will lose if you do, for I give you notice that I know it's exact hoight to half an inch, and if I bet I shall bet on a dead cor tainty. JJrown I am lust as sure as you are; I am hotting on a certainty also; my eye never de ceives me. 1 will lay you a hundred or a thou sand pounds that this table is thirty-nix inches high ; uo more, no less. The major thouirht to dissuade hit euest from his purpose of making a bet, assuring him that he know the height of the table, and did not want to beton a certainty, but, when tho ex citement grew furious, the wagorl was finally laid at an enormous sum I havo heard it stated as high as $50,000 10,000. That seems preposterous, when suoh a trifle was the subject, but the gambling spirit does not stick at trifles. When the betting was finally ar ranged, Ool. Brown exclaimed, exultingly, "I told you I knew the table was exactly thirty six inches high; I did know it.Jbecause when I called, just after it arrived, I took its measure on my cane as I sat by it, and after I went out 1 measured, and round it to be, as i have said, precisely thirty-six inches high." "Yes.'' said Major Jones, "I was sitting with my back to ytm, but 1 was shaving before the looking-glass, ana i saw yeu taking tne meas ure of the table with; your cane. Suspecting that you were preparing for a bet as to its height, after you left I had half an inch taken ot, and it is now precisely thirty-five and a half inches bigu." Tho applause that followed this result was tremendous, and completed the discomfiture of the unpopular ooloueL It was evident that he had beon laying a plan to cheat, and would have pocketed the money if he had won.

Two hippopotamuses have recently died in the London Zoological garden. One was twenty-seven years in confinement, the other thirty, but, of course, their actual age can never be known. Indeed, it is difficult to tell whether the wild animal lives as long as the domestic one. At one time the test was the length of time required to reach maturity, which it was assumed, bore a certain urODor- tion to the life of the creature. But this does not hold cood with even the larger mammalia, for a horse, assuming it to be mature at four rears, will live to live or six "maturities," while man. presuming him to be mature at twenty, rarely reaches four. Dogs enjoy creator lousevitv than mankind, aud a cat's life is proverbially tenacious. It cannot be proved that even wild auim.ds have their lives shortened by confineme.it Indeed, it is rea sonable to suppose that the care given to ani mals in menageries prolongs their existence. The civilized man certainly lives longer than the savage, who is exp-jed to th barjrbips and vicissitudes of a rough out-dcor existence. How the India leeTraUe Degas. Harper's Bazar.
