Winkler,, wko. lives iu Weft Baker street, was-awakened by the tramping of some animal in Ike .'rout yard.. She shook Mr. Winkler violently,, when that gen tleiiian at once ceased snoring, turned over and, alter a prolongeu yawn, said "What's matter, wife; what's matter ?" "That cow, Mike ; she's just eating up all mj rose bushes the front yard' hear her get up and run her out of the yard quick, man now please do go at once." Winkler sat rubbing his eyes for a moment on the bedside, and then slipping on his slipper, passed into the hall, and having unbolted the street door, walked out into the hunt yard. He had just gotten to the corner of the front porch, and was iu the act ot stooping tor a rock, when lie heard a pndorged sniffling a few feet off, and betore he had time to grasp the stone the dim outlines of a large white male goat arose, as if out ot the ground, and iu an erect position advanced threateningly upon him. Winkler's first thought was to turn and rush back to the house, but so quick aud fierce was the movements of the goat that his only chance to save himself from a severe butting was l'j sci&c the animal firmly by the horns, as he made his plunge for ward, and hold him fast The goat gulled back, rushed forward, threw bis body into the air, aud began a series ot i-iks winch 6hook the frame ot Air. Winkler 60 violently that, his very bones rattled. But that gentleman gripped him firmly, knowing lull well that if he sot away iu his then angry 6tate, he would most certainly catch him before he ccnld make . the front door, ai.d perhaps hurt him serious ly in the back. So Mr. Winkler wisely clutched him, and although his rough horns burned his hands nearly oft, lie was determined to 6wing round the circle with him until help should arrive. At times the goat would become comparatively quiet and then he would suddenly pull and push and jerk ard rear up and jump around in such a rough and reckless way that Mr. Winkler telt as if ho would almost rather-die than hold on any lunger. But he still held him. To make matters worse, Mr. Winkler, in being dragged about had kicked oft' his slippers and was stepping aroui'd the yard iu his bare feet without the power to choose the soft places. Day was breaking, too, aud his wife was calling him. "Why, man, haven't you driven that cow out yet ?" "Cow, the very devil I it's no ift. After-awhile a tall" man with a gnu walked up to the fe and stopped uMieteis.you- observe my situ ation can't you halp me?" "I'm. a temperance man aud can not take a horn. Besides, it's the duty of every good eitzen to accept the situation. Good bye." And he passed on. Thcee boys now drove np in a wagon and looking into the yard, got out and went up to the fence. "Boys," said Mr. Winkler, "how am I to get sway without getting hurt?" ' Boy No. 1 said:- "Go info the house and get a gun. and kill the white-bearded rascal."

Ober-Ammergau, where, upon every Sunday, until the 26th of September next, the famous "Passion Play" will be performed, is a little Alpine village perched op in the Bavarian Highlands, about sixty miles south west of Munich, It is far removed from, ihe ordinary route of travelers, thft newest railway station being Mjarnaa fifteen eailes dis ta,nt, shut( ou from ho titriijoil ad un west of this, nineteenth century world, inhabited by a race of simple-minded peasants, and' rude wood carrers; yet its name has become a household word throughout the world, the fame of its peasants artists has extended to every country where the drama is loved and honored. I 16:53 this district was ravaged" by a pestilence a result of the wars of Gustavus Adolphus the villagers fled to the altars of the Holy Virgin, and vowed that if she wou.d s$ay th plaguje they and their children waald, forever celebrate tbjeir deliverance b,j a dramatic representation of the Passion of Christ. Strang that the sword of the great Protestant champion should thus indi rectly have been the means of preserv ing for us. this characteristic type of nvs diaval Catholicism, The full name of the play, which is descriptive of the events sought to be portrayed, is " The Great Expiatory Sacrifice of Golgotha, or the Narrative vX the Passion a.id Death ot Josus, According to the: Four Evangelists, with Tableaux Vivants Taken from the Old Testament." The " Passiojispiet," iu its present revised and expurgated form, is in great measurr the r.ork of an aged clergyman, who was for many years the beloved parish priest of Ober-Ammergau, and who is quite distinguished as a writer of dramatic- literature, most of his works being founded upon, or represent tationa-of. scenes in Biblical history. Ha may also still be called the director or "stage manager" of the pice, and is, held in great reverence by hi flock or 'cast.' a 1 w aajw UL1ICI LU, A UBIH. 1 np HTinpQ ffl IIA ft .

Before they had gotten out of sight a negro man with a long fishing pole came whistling by. When he shw Mr. Winkler, he leaned over the fence, aud said i "Oar lie is now.' "My man do you mean me or the goat?" "I moan dat goat hes min what business you got wid him ?" "Oh nothing at all.

The animal gave a sudden jerk which twisted Mr. Winkler's hands nearly off. He then rushed forward between that gentleman's legs, wrenching his horns loose, jumping JJentiiely over the fence, and followed the happy darkey down the street.

She can bring bickerings and strife into what l.a been a happy happy household. She can hecome an instrument of evil instead of an angel of good. As a mother, her words and her ways should be kind, loving and good. If she reproves, her language should be choice and re fined. The trne mother rules by the lawa of kindness ; and to her children the word "mother" is synonymous with everything pure, sweet and beautiful. . This year the first representation of the play was given on Whitsun-Mon-day, which was also the favorite season of yore for Chester and Coventry jMj'steries " Its beginning U an nounced by the firing of a cannon, and its rendition occupies from eight o'clock in the morning until five iu tho after noon, with an interval at mid-day of one hour 'for refreshments." Yet in spite of its great length no one seems to he fatigued, nor does the interest flag, though many of the audionoe stand throughout the whole performance. The Paasjon Play" ia of kindled nature to, and, as it were, a connecting link with the u Mystery" p'ays and "Moralities" of tho fifteenth and six teenth centuries, many of which have been preserved in the Townloy and othfer series, and whioh no doubt for-n-ed part of the " pageants" provided for the entertainment of Queen Eliza beth by the Earl of Leicester, as de scribed in Kenilwortb. The first play was given In 1634, and for a century past it has been performed every decade ; as it is a religious duty in fulment of a solemn vow. no change of time or ciroumstance can relieve the ,er people of tho obligation. Jn tho car- 0 the late Uenry S.

It is a rough woodn theatre without galleries or boxes capable of holding an audience of six or seven thousand and without a roof,' except over the binder rows of seats and the central stage, where are represented all the tableaux and some of the dramatic scenes ; such, especially, as must bp given in a building.

As one sits there under the open sty, the sighing of the trees. the warbling of the birds, the. tyiklmg bells of dis tant herds fall upon thp ear, the morn ing sun is streaming in golden floods through the streots of Jerusalem, be yond which the eye wanders.over tl. smiling mpadovva and pine clad bills the.far-off mountains with, their snowy peaks kissing the. sky. Nature herself thus leads her aid to. the. artist plan, furnishing a noble background to the picture, and she seems to whisper to us wooingly on this lonely morning, at tuning our souls to harmony with the touching story that is to pass before us, and awaking in our hearts all the ten derness of religious sentiment. Each, scene in the drama consists of three partsv tableau, choral (song and dramatic acting ; and the whole num ber of persona engaged in these diff er ent roles is five or six hundred. Th,e chorus of guardian anges(vpeis. ant angels," a& tliey have happily been called,) consists of eight men and twelve women, with a leader, and, fill ing the part ot the Greek classical cho rus, forms the poetical exponents of the drama. The corypheus chauts iu monotone or recitative ; the choral semgs are in harmony. All, both men and women, wear long loose robes of red or blue ; over these white musiin tuiiics reaching to the knee, whi;e attached to the shoul ders and flowing open in front are man tles of various colors. The leader's dress alone is different a white robe richly corded and embroidered with gold. A word ot explanation as to the handling of the choral songs. It will not be attempted to render- them in the.r fullness, because time would not serve, and they would then ocoupy too great a space iu the sketch which is to be given of the dram. as a whole. At times, therfore, the ohorus will be quite passed aver, at others only its leading thought w ill be suggested. The action of the play covers all the incidents of week from Palm Sunday to Easter, with an epilogue which repr esents the Ascension. Each scene is preceded by one or more tableau s-the subjects taken from the Old Testt-.ment, supposed types of the events which then follow in dramat. 10 action ; the chorus iu each instance explaining tho signiEo nice of the pic ture, (1.

At Calicut a number of the adventurers were murdered by the. natives, where-r upon the King equipped another and larger squadron, under the direction of Gama who arrived safely at the. east African coast, founded the Colonies of Mozambique and Sofala,'"and sailed to Travancoie. He afterward bombarded Calicut, destroyed the enemy's fleet, aud compellqd the. Prince to conclude a treaty of peace, with heavy indemnifi cations. Before that he had. captured a richly-laden vessel full of Mohamme dans, from various parts of Asia, on tljir way to Mecca, and believing them to be Afripan Moors, the traditional foes of his &Jtiont hp slew all ot them except 20 women and children. Re turning to Portugal, Gama was uncm plpyed for 20 yearr ; but be was re-engaged by the new King, and reached as. Viceroy the se?ne ot; hU. fpijmer tri tynph. He redeemed the misfortunes of his predecessors, causing the po,ver of Portugal to bp ciiee more resneeted !i- India, While in the midst of suc cess, he Avas overtaken (152a) by death at Cochin. His remains were takeu to Lisbon, aud buried w ith great pomp, and have, never been disturbed until now. Perspnally, Gama wras short and stout, dark-eyed, dark-haired, promi nent of feature, and floiid of complex ion. He was intrepid, persevering, fertile in resources, but violent in tem per, and capable of cruelty, though he was, on the whole, far juster, more considerate $nd. humane, than, most of tle navigators, aud. warriors of his own natym 1 This stage is very wide anJ deep, nd.

Dr. Pertz, Director of the Royal Library at Berlin, announced some years ago that ocrtain documents had been brought to light touding to show that tho route to the East via the Cape of Good Hope had been known 200 years before Gama's day. The explorer was descended from an ancient family, and supposed to have been tinctured with royal, though illegitimate, blood. He early gained the reputation of a danntless sailor, and after the return of Bartelommeo Diaz (1487) from doubling the Cape, King Joao fixed on him as the man most likely to find a southern passage to India. Joao's pur poses were balked by death ; but Muncol the Fortunate, his suoeesspr, fifed out four vessels with 180 men, and put Gama in command, furnishing him with letters to all the sovereigns, including the mythical Prcster John, whom he might have occasion to visit. The little fleet sailed from Lisbon July 8, 1497, but was so beset by storm us not to reach what is now Table Bav until Nov. 16. Three days later, in the teeth of furlong gales and mutinous sailors, he rounded the Cape, and touch ed at various places on the hitherto unkewn eastern coast of Africa. Hav ing found the people of Melinda far more civilized than he had anticipated, he engaged a very inrel. .gent Indian pilot, a native of Guzerat, and, putting boldly out to sea under his guidance, erossed the Tndian Ocean, and arrived at Caht, Hindustan, May 20, 1498. Bis reception by the Prince of the eoast was not cordial. The Arab mer- cbsnte residing tfjee were jealous of that is made en timely out of water An amusing story ia totel of Mr. Gough, when he went to Oxford to address the 6tudent on temperance. A few evenings before an eminent man was to, have delivered a lecture at Oxford oji " The Evils of Tobac co." The boys got into tUehallj an hour beforehand, each with what Dr. Carroll d roily emphasized as a "college- pipxi'1 in his mouth. The time for tho lecture arrived, but if the lecturer did, it waa never disr covered--!;e. was nut visible through the fug. T''& students sent word to Gough whon. ho came, that thev wouldiit have any temperance, and j advised him not ttx persist m lectur ing, lint he went to the hall. For twenty minutes he apuke in panto mine amid the deafening catcalls of the boys. Finally he stepped forward, demanded British fair play and offered to whip every one of the 5oo singly. This offer was loudly cheered and promptly ac cepted, and a big six foot athlete was sent up on tiie stage. Gough, who is a little man, backed off as the big fellow approached him, and explained, ''My lriends you evidently misunderstood nie. This ii to bo no, intellectual contest, not a priae fight." The students cheered again at this evidence of the Ameiican's shrewdness and ordered debate to proceed. The college lad was tjieryf-re, obliged to tapkle the temperance champion, lie yaa at i disadvantage, but he quoted Scripture and remiudctt the pli',cky lecturer that it was one f the apostoles who wrote to Timothy a young man, too, like themselves to take a little wine fur his "stomach's s ike and for his other infirmities. The lads shouted vociferously at this, and wanted to know how Gough could get around it. Gough slowly examined the six footer from top to toe and then said, "My friends, look at this athlete, this fellow with muscles like 6tecl, who can wield the cub of Hercules, who can bend an English yeoman's bow, who could knocjf down an ox with the blow of a hammer. He is the personifi cation of health and strength, but he thinks he needs a little wine for his stomach's sake." Gough 's inimitable manner of saying this had a tremendous ef fect. The students fairly -el!ed with delight and their defeating champion retreated. Another was sent up. Jtc was the infellectual giant of his c'hss, in contradistinc tion to the six footer. lie, with much self-confidence, made a fin ished argument for liquor drinking based on Christ's changing the water into wine at the wedding feast, His comrades cheered him to the echo and thought his argu ment una g.rerable, and uougli waa chaffed for his defeat "Young men," said he," solemnly, admit that your champion hagforestalled me, Ho has said for me jnst what I came here to change yun to do. Dnr fc all the wie you can find Tne Gulf Strfcarn., At a recent meeting of the So-, ciety of Anstrian Civil Engineer,. Mr. Carl Englehardt gave an in' tete&ting account of. the natural, supply of heat on. the continent of,. Europe.. He showed that certain. European, countries, are. favored, over other parts of the world by natural, influences of thcT upper. Etesion winds, thQ.despr.tof. Sahara and particularly the Gulf, Stream. When the Sahara was still,, n. sea, the clinyvto -of Southern -uropu and NortJ.;n, Africa, ws many degrees colder than at pres.Qyt, Many tiioand ye ays ago, before the Isthmus, of Panama had been, raised above the level ot. thg. $eav the Gulf stream flowed, bgswenii North and South, America., That was. the glacial period in Northern Europe. Scandinavia and Finland; were covered with ice, moose andj reindeer abounded in Italy ndj Spam, aud the Sput h, of. Europe wa-3 inhabited by a race similar to. the Laplanders. The Vosgos and the Black forc&t were covered by glaciers. Through the rising o tho Central American Isthmus, the Gulf stream was tinned, eastward and Europe emerged, irota, the ice, period. In how comparatively shjOKstimo. the climate of a country can change, is proved by Greenland,, which was. discovered 892. years ago, and owes, i.fc name to the verdant valleys and; blooming meadows which greeted the eyes of tho firsj settlers. Even 450. yeara ago Greenland If&d Qver. two hundred towns, and villages and waa a bishop's see, ThrougU the elongation ot the coral reefs of Florida, the Gulf stream has turned more towards tho we&t course ot. Europe, and Labrador and Green land liave now the climate of tho, At'ctie circle. The mean tempera ture of tb,c most southern point of Greenland is the same as, that of Norway, six hundred nUes furthci northward. The deflection of the Gulf stream, will probably increase, as the. Florida banks advance to finally, join the Bahama and Tortugas Is lands, and the influence of the Gulf stream will at last be lost to North western Europe. The eonseqaeuee. will be a decrease iu the area of cereals in E'iropcr i considerable, lowering of temperature, and a general reaction iu tho march of civilisation oi; the Eastern conti nent.
