CHARLO PTET WN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND; THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, L880.

SORAPS.

COMMUNICATED BY VICH DHOMNUIL NAN O8D,

Ii seems to me that the grand secret of that grace of repose which we see develop- jedin the antique statues, may be defined jasthe'presence of Thought, and the alr isence of Volition. The moment we have, in Sculpture, the expression of Wiil or Effort, we have the idea of something fixed | in its place by an external cause ; and a@ consequent diminution of the effect of | internal power. The Venus de Medici | looks as if she were content to stand upon her pedestal and be worshipped, as was Diana of the Ephesians. Canova’s Hebe | looks as if she would fain step off the ped- | estal, if she could*; the Apollo Belvidere, | as if he could step from his pedestal if he would,

Norz.-—-* is there not a modern instance of a Lady who would fain step off her ped- estal (and she can); Favete linguis! Plaudite Popoli!

EMPEROR NAPOLEON THE FIRST.

THE fe deemed that the corpses of men were the

stones . Which should lift his proud footsteps to} Kingdoms and Thrones ! | Thrice blest the Poet, if his simpie strain Wake Love's soft sigh, or Beauty's ready! tear ! The untaught praise of youth and childhood | gain ; Or, toa farure age, his humble name o] dear ! i

Non pudendo, sed non faciendo id guod non | decet, impudentie nomen effugere debemus, —Cicero,

Paraphrastic Translation of the Above. The doing nothing to be blamed, is hetter | than to be ashamed. v; om ‘ } That man, I trow, is doubly blest, Who, of the worst, doth make the best ; And he, I’m sure, ia doubly curst, Who, of the best, doth make the worst! -—-Dr, Syntax. |

business enables us to suit nearly all who may favor us with a call; and we hope also | to suit and please you in other lines.

Harvests of the World. The annual renort of the cereal harvests of the world has just been published. From it we learn that Italy snd Bavaria are the

lsnost fortunate countries this season, the

yield being from 15 to 50 per cent. above the average. The United States, Belgium and Hungary are given as 5 per cent. over whilst Great Britain and Ireland are debited with a deficiency of that amount. in Russia, however, the crops are statea «340 per cent. under average. Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hol- land and Egypt report average crops. From these returns it would seem that a large proportion of the surpiusage of the United

arace ;

but already we hear that the export of

| wheat frown the Atlantie ports is diminish- ‘ing, and that the visible supply available

for foreign countries is estimated at 2,500,000 bushels less than that of last year.

An Over-Confident Marksman.

WoW CHARLES WESTFIELD TRIED TO SHOOT HIS FRIEND'S HAT OFF AND PUT A BULLET IN Hls HHAD.

In a rifle gallery and billiard room, New

| York, on the 22nd inst., was Charles Weat

field, a bartender. He is an expert shet with the rifle, and was in the habit of dis- playing his skill by shooting apples and oranges from the heads of loungers in the gallery, who had learned to place implicit trust in his accuracy of aim. CGustave War- ganz, the bartender, who is a friend of Westfield, was agggep in a chair at the other end of the room. He hada Derby hat on. Noticing that Warganz was asleep, Weat- field picked up a rifle, and turning to his friends, said, ‘‘ Just see how I will put a He levelled the weapon and fired. Simultaneously with the shooting Warganz, whose sleep had been , eptranee of the men, raised himeelf slightiyin the chair. To the horror of the marksinan and the lookers on the ball lodged in the head of the unfortu- nate bartender. He fell to the floor, the blood flowing from a wound just abdve his right ear, Westfield bent over him and entreated him to speak. The man was un- When the Tombs Conrt was opened West-

Warganz was accustomed to turn himself into a target for his friend to fire at. The magistrate said he would have to hold the prisoner to await the result of Warganz’s injuries. An admirer of Westfield came forward and offered to become a substitute fer him. The magistrate laughingly dis- missed the proposal.—N. Y. Herald. George Eliot's death was quiet and alinost painless.

A WEATHER prophet has arisen in Harris- burg, N. B. He predicts a short and pleas- ant winter, because the land torteises have not buried themselves deeply in the ground, as they invariably do if the winter is to be severe, An exchange says we should antici- pate a more pleasant winter if the weather prophets were all buried deeply in the ground.
