When friend from friend is parting, And in each speak ing eye The silent tears are starting, To tell what words deny, How could we bear theheavy load, Of such heart agony, Could we net cast it all, our Gud, Our gracious God. on Thee; And feel that thou kind watch wilt keep When we are far away; That thou wilt soothe us when we weep. .And hear us when we pray . —Monsen. L4IVE. The love that will soonest decay, The love that is surest to die, The love that will soon fly away, Is the love That is told by a sigh. The love that is surest to last, The love that a wommi's heart needs, The love that will be kept fast. Is the love That is spoken in deeds. GIRL'S DRESSES. Lidi wore a dress whose folds hung loose- ly from a yoke. confined about the waist with a sas',. until about two years ago. Every one lamented when I took her out of this. I bad too, because I could not man- ae.e the tokls after she grew so tall. Then she wore a simple blouse waist and equally simple skirt. and now a plain basque. not too tight. and a skirt with a few 'bids. or one deep flounce. She looks finer. and no- bler, and purer titan all the overdressed girls putt together. and makes that impres- sion. Of course she wants to be dressed as fashion requires. but whenever she starts the vital question of \overskirts.\ I always succeed in bringing her villingly to terms. Her clothes tit her, for I make a study of them, and let no one take a stitch for her but myself. She has unerring taste in the color of her ribbons. and wears all her un- der -clothing depending from the shoulders. One of Lidi's teachers told my husband that -.she was the only properly dressed giri in school.\ The child opened her eyes wile and exclaimed-- Why. • apa, his daughter wears overskirts and all sorts of fixings. like the rest.\ Her puzzled ex- pression Was worth seeing. as she caught this tirst glimpse of a sensible man's wish clashing o ith a foolish wite will.—A Letter from Germany. in Woman's Journal. • 0 .41. OBLONG ART. THE PIG. The pig was thus written up by a Georgia boy. whose composition was published in his local paper, the Griffin News, and was as follows: \The pig is about as big as a sheep, only a pig's wool isn't good tor making stockings ot. Why is a pig like a tree? Because he roots; that is a conundrum. A pig wash- es himself in the mud. A pig has lour legs, one under each corner of his body. They pickle pigs' feet, but not until after the pig is done using 'em. A pig squeals awful when it rams, also when you pull its tail. A pig has got a first-rate - voice for squealing, and he grunts when he feels good. You can't make a %thistle of a pig's tail 'CO:S it is crooked. Why is a pig like Tommy Grant? 'Cos he's got his nose in everybody's business. This is another conundrum, which is all I know about the pig.'y CRYING FOR HIS MOTHER. In the years gone by an old Michigan quill -driver named Blake, who was killed at Fair Oaks, came hito Detroit on busi- ness, he being then connected with a paper in the Western part of the State. He got pretty full by evening, but was invited into the ladies' parlor ot the hotel. with others, to hear a young lady ini- tiate a new pian. After she had played several tunes Blake asked her to play \Lily Dale.\ She complied, and he sat down in the chair and cried, excusing his action by saying to the crowd. \It's a sad song, and it always puts me in mind of my dear mother.\ It was played again, and Blake went to bed with eleilly Dale\ ringing in his ears. He ocen..ied the same bed with a merchant's clerk. the hotel being crowd- ed, and soon atter turtling in. a dog com- menced to howl in the back yard. -W000-hoo-hoor wailed the dog, and Blake sat up in bed and exclaimed: -There's 'Lily Dale' again!\ \Get ont--ite only a dog howling,\ re- turned the clerk. \Stranger.\ said Blake, as he turned his head, .‘stranger, you'd lost your poor old mother and felt as bad as I do; you'd bet fifty dollars to five that it was •14ily Rile.' Yes, it's the same song, and I've got to cry again!\ lie got up and sat down on the lid of a chest and wept profusely. TILE TRUE 1FSE OF wEALrii.

Both are in the ser- vice of God, and the pulpit of a church like ours has no hollow truce with them; it recognizes their services as part and parcel of the whole service of God in the NVOlid. Mammon seizes heaven and tights hell when, in the hands or nr_11 power and riches and wisdom and strength, it brings honor an - 1 glory :mil blessing,s to those who are drawn within the circle of its power, and it is in forget- ting this, in seeking our own wealth wholly. and not the common wealth at all, that the great woes come to nations, which tent either ie purifying- them as by tire, or in burning them up. Wealth may be one of the noblest allies for God, or it may be one ot his direst enemies. It may make men either way what they never could hope to be or dread to be without it. \There is a burden of care in getting riches,\ quaint old Matthew Iknry says, \fear in keeping them, temp- tation in using them, guilt in abusiog them. sorrow in losing them and a bur- den of acco. nt to be given at last con- cerning them,\ and every word he says is true, Yet is just as tree that wealth well won and well used may make the soul strong to hear such burdens, brave to encounter them, high through their heaviness. clean throng - 1i their use, joyful t heir (rood fruits, and sure that. when al. is over here, the Master will say- -Well done, thou good aml faithful ser- vant; thou haet been faithful over ten pouni is; I will make thee ruler over ten cities.\ M i ny old stories are told in society in Now York. relative to the suddenly wealthy hut uncultured people who are anxious to I have pictures in their parlors.

It looks as ir it wanted to shun the wicked world and hang itself up in a inumery. To- morrow you meet the same lady. and what a change! She appears as &trite; as Joan of Are and as independent as the President of a Woman's Congress. And her whole appearance is thus altered by pinning up the front of that hat. Next day she appears like a brigand. The brim is flattened out, and her eyes gleam furiously front underneath. as ir MaC11- 111\ an opportunity to order you to stand and deliver.

The first thousand dollars that a young maul, after going out into the world for himself, earns and saves, will generally settle the question of business life with him. There may be exceptions to this statement; yet, for a rule, we think it will hold true. The first condition is, that the young man naturally earns the thou- sand dollars in question. He does not inherit this sum. It. does not come to hint by a streak of good luck—as the re- sult ot a fortunate venture in the pur- chase and sale of a hundred shares of stock. It is the fruit of personal indus- try. He gives his time and , - labor tor it. he is thus eareing and saving it, he must earn trom two or three, or four thnes as much to pay his current expen- ses. He is, consequently, held sternly to the task of industry for a considerable period. The direct consequence to him is steady, continuous, and s did disci : - phial in the habits ot industry—in pa- tient. pi Tsistent lOrecasting and self-de- nying - ellort—breaking up all the tenden- cies to indolence and frivolity. and mak- ing him an earnest economist of time and labor. He not only leaens how to work, but he also acquires the love ot work; and moreover, he learns the value of the sum Whielt he has thus saved out of his earnings. He has toiled for it; he hate observed its slow increase front time to [line, and, in his estimate it represents so many years of practical labor. His ideas ot hie are shaped by his own experience. These natural effects of earning the first thousand dollars we hold to be very large bele tits. They are just tlw qualities of mind and body %%inch are likely to se - C1111' basiness success in atter years.

Atter years of work and the expenditure of millions ot dollars ill its construetion, the Boston Journal says that several millions more will have to be expended. \It will re- quire time, experience and wisdom, not only to utilize the tunnel, but to utilize the inoney of the people already expend- ed, so that the tunnel may bring to the people at large, it not directlY to the State Treasury. a measure of compensa- tion for what it has cost.\ The experi- ence of Maesachusttts and other States in railroad lerislation has borne some good fruit, at least in the former State. The danger of giving to corporations ab- solute and unrestrained control of high- ways, whist must form their very nature become -monopolies,\ whether used as such or not, has warned the Legislature not to give up the Hoosac tunnel to any one corporation under a contract which shall exclude a connecting road from en- joying- the advantages to be derived therefrom. To Stills end it is proposed that the State shell always retain a con- trolling influence in the tunnel, but the details of the plan under which the right of way shall be leased to railroad compa- nies at - lords much food for discussion. The fact of the matter is that it wili be much easier to grant rights to corpora- tions without restrictions, as charter,3, they are usually granted, than it is to devise a plan which, while Nvitholding ex- clusive privileges, shail yet tempt corpo- rations to use their money in establishing desirable lines for the transportation of freight and passengers. This is tile prob- lem which Massachusetts legislators have to solve.—Phil. Ledger. s• -i41•••••••• 1 42 THE COST OF A KISS. The Continental Herald says: \Very recentls at Veveyse, in the Canton of Friberg, a young balker received a visit from two young girls, wtose object was to settle a breaul account. In squaring the account there was a centime short, and the bather laughingly proposed to liquidate this balance by kissing the el- der 01 the two sisters, who was 10 years of age, to she acceded. This amused the younger girl, %vim in her turn also received a kiss. 11'hen they return- ed home they recounted the circumstance to their parents: as a piece of pleasantry; but the lather was by no means dispoeed to view the occurrence in that light. He immediately went off to consult his cure, who characterized the act a se:mil:II. The latter forthwith went to the Syn(lie, :111(1 this fnnctionary. without loss Of Tillie, IIII1:4C1V11 thy wiststs: CO1111111111a1 Council, aud the affitir began to assume colossal proportions. A charge of at- tempt at corruption WZLii launched apinst the baker and judicial proceedings were commenced. But the bather of the baker heard of what was passing, and warned his son, who jtobred it prudent to leave hie bueiness and the town, and take ref- uge in Geneva; but justice was not to be defeated, and the authorities of Friberg demanded the extradition of the youth from the government of Geneva. He was given up, seemingly without hesita- tion, and was incarcerated in the prison of Chalet tor eighteen days before his case came on for hearing. The charge was eventually referred to the Chainbre d'Aecusation, who. however, declared it was unfounded. It is suggested as pos- sible that the young fellow will obtain some compensation for the loss he has sustained in his busiuess.\ ANDREW JOHNSON ON THE NE- GRO VOTER. Speaking for myselt alone, I confess that I have been disappointed in the ne- gro's capacity to vote with sense and dis- cretion. They go up to the polls like so many mules, and you had as well try to address an argument to a mule as to most of them. I thought at first that tltis ‘vould shortly wear off, and they would divide upon questions like white men and vote understandingly. But they do not, and I fear never will. They go in droves, or I might say, in one drove. To at- tempt to address an argument to a crowd of them is like talking to so many mules, so far as effecting anything is concerned. You cannot reach them by any reason- ing process. I fear we have calculated too much upon the idea that we could, by education and development, make an intelligent citizen of the negro. Beyond a certain limit it seems impoesible to take him. There is not much in hint to de- velop and bring - out. The limit to his capacity is soon reached. Nevertheless. I am not opposed to allowing him full opportimities to solve the problem and make all he can out ot it himself.

AS7 -11—.1111‘ Y_IORD The evil that is in this world—that rushes down our streets, devastating homes, ruining happiness, and layhig waste the pleasant places—has matny fountains. Sin does its deadly work in many ways, and sorrow comes from a variety of sources. And hasty words have much to answer for, among the rest. We are apt to think that a word or two does not matter—that we need not trouble ourselves to be over -particular as to what we say. But this is only one of our many mistakes. Words live. There is so much vitality in them that they take root even upon very unlikely soil. Hasty words are almost sure to have little sense, and less kindness, in them. They are not the offspring of meek and quiet spir- its, Ind of hot, passionate tempers. \All men are liars !\ Who but a man in pas- sion would have said that ? The asser- tion is so sweeping and unjust that it' Da- vid had not prates d it by his profession, \I said, in my haste,\ we should not have understool it. Perhaps the reason why such words are spoken is that the speaker feels himself aggrieved. We oP ten do, ia this life of ours. We cannot have all we wish, from our brothers and sisters, and so we allow ourselves to grow fretful and angry. We au e unreasonable enough to suppose that al: things should be ours; and, when we find only few things coining- to our shaire, then we be- come discontented and peevish, and ass--ss-aass speak hasty wo_rds.

The Scorpion is situated north of town, near Biedleman's mulch, and north- east of the Sierra Nevada works. It was located years ago and considerable work has been done upon it. About a year ago Robert Apple and Robert Keating hired several Italians to work tiaam the tunnel. Their wages ainounted to sever- al hundred dollars, all or the greater part of which was paid. In the absence of Mr. Apple the same men did additional work, brought suit and obtained judg- ment for their wages. On last Thursa lay morning they were in possession of the property , . when they were driven off by several Cornishmen of the Apple and Keating party. They applied for a writ to Judge Marple, which was granted, the Cornishmen vacated the premises and the tunnel %vais locked tip. On Sunday more- ing the Italians broke the lock, went in and barricaded the tunnel. Subsequent- ly the otlwr party arrived, underminded them, drove them out, and now have possession, which they held with pistols and shot -gulls.

It is generally the case, we beliere, that persons who lose a limb seem to feel it8 presence frequently for some time atter ite less; but we do not recollect to have seen a ea , e so remarkable as that of Mr. Bernard Lavin. one of our most intelli- gent and trustworthy neighbers. Irish- man by nativity, about forty-three years of age, and has resided in 1Vinsted for the last sixteen years. At Seyinore. Conn., just betbre daybreak. July 4th, 1857. Mr. Laviu was terribly injured by the premature diseharge ot the cannon which he was loading. He WaS thong! t to be fatally wounded, and the local phy- sicians wishing aid. the late eminent bur- geon, Die Jewett, of New Hiven. was sent for. but did not reach Seymore until near nightfall. Lsvin lay. believing him- self to be so seriously injuried internally as well as externally that he did not dam to try to speak, impressed with the utotion that if he did he would die at once. His right arm, crushed to a jelly, WitS ampu- tated near the shoulder; leaving only the bail and perhaps an inch in length ot the humerus. The three principal bones of the arm were so broken that \not a piece over 3 inches in leuo-th” %vas found; but the hand remaiee 1 uninjured. In the back of the hand that day was it that La- vin felt the most pain; and from that thne to this he has constatitly felt a pain there, sometimes quite severe. A gentleman . tells us that it is about twelve years since he first learned of Lavin from his seem- ing to hiesself to salt carry that lost arm, and he has since often spoken with him about it. Lavin says that he feels the presence of a right arm as large mid heavy as his left; that the constant pain in the right hand modifies sometimes and seem.% to fluctuate up and down the artn, but seldom troing above the elbow, where he often suffers acute pain. Frequently he feels the right hand in the act of partially closing—the thumb and iing,er approxi- mating each other. as whelk one takes a pinch of snuff. Mr. Lavin says that if any bundle which he may be carrying io his left hand is slipping away he tinds himself trying to catch it with a right arm. So ever present is the sense of size and weight oldie artn that he forgets that it is lost. Here is a case then for the neurologists and psychologists to ex - plait); and for the myologists, also. per- haps, for it appears that what remains of the triceps extensor muscles is hi a heal- thy state, moving the ball in tlte socket. We would not 1;irget tO sny for tile ben- efit atilt! scientific that Mr. Lavin is not what is taleely called a \nervous\ man -- though a man of sensitive temper. lle a large, handsomely built limn. With another arm, he would be an unusually synniwtrieal rson. His health is al- ways excellent. Will the philosopher explain.—Whisted Herald. IGHT IN THE MOON. At last, however, night sets in. Grate- fully it comes after the eun has gathered up his stalling beams and gone down to rest. All at once we are plunged into comparative obscurity, for again there is no twilight to stay the steps of departing day. At one stride conies the dark. But, looking up into the sky, we behold a vast orb, which pours down a milder and more bentlieent splendor than the great lord of the system. It is such a 1110011 as we terrestrials cannot boast; for it is not less than thirteen times as laree and luminous as our own. There it letogs in the ftrumment, wiC oat appar.mt change of' plrce, if \fixed in its ever- lasting seat.\ But not without chauge of surface. For this great globe is a painted panorama, and turning round majestically on its axes, preeents its oceans and continents in graud succes- sion. As Europe and Africa, locking the Mediterranean ill their embrace, roll away to the right, the stormy Atlantic offers its waters to % - iew. and then the two Americas, with their huge forests and vast prairies, pass under inspection. Then the grand basin of the Pacific. lit up with island fires, meets the gazer's eye, and as this glides over the scene, the eastern rile or Asia and the upper portion of Australia sail into sight. The Indian Ocean, and afterward the Arabian Sea, spread themselves out hi their sub- dued splendor and thus, four-and- twenty hours, -the great rotundity we tread\ turns its pictured countenance to the moon and grandly repays the listen- ing lunarians by repeating. to the best of its ability, the story of its birth. Nor is the sky less marvelous in another respect. For the absence of any atmospheric dif- fusion permits the constellations to shine out \\int a distmetnees which is IleVer paralleled on earth.
