Cold ! bitterly cold! Tito moon is bright And the snow is while ; Beautiful to behold ; But the wind is howling Like hungry prowling Wolves on the wintry woid , Cold! bitterly cold ! My shawl Is ragged (infl old— The hearth is deserted and dark, Gladdened by never a spark, And my only light Is the pitiless white That the moonbeams spill Silvery chill, Cruelly—splendidly bright, This frosty winter's night— Cold!—bitterly cold ! Babe more precious than gold, Rest, little one,rest1 Sleep, my own one, Slumber, thou lone one, Clasped to thy mother's breast, Though thin and wasted her torm, Her anus shall enfold And shieid thee from cold, For the love in her breast is warm, Though the chill night breeze May the life blood froe/.c— Cold !—bitterly cold ! Cold !—bitterly cold ! My eyes arc dim, And my senses swim, And racking pains are In every limb— 1 am prematurely old ! Foodless and tireless, Almost attlrcless, Wrapt in rags so scanty and thin With bones that stare through the colorless skin, Weary and worn Tattered and torn, If I should wish 1 had ne'er been born— Tell me, is it a sin? Cold world !—bitterly cold ! THE PEARL OF CA.11PAS. One fine morning in autumn, I was rambling through the secluded Valley f CampaD, in the Pyrenees, accompa- nied by the excellent curate of the dist- ict, with whom in the course of my per- egrinations I had become acquainted, and beneath whose hospitable rouf I had promised to spend the night. The see- iery was wild and lovely beyond des- ription ; and having expressed my ad- niratton of it, I added a wish to know omething of the inhabitants. "They have hearts of gold and wills of iron," Baid my friend. "Many a touch- ng and noble instance of generosity d self-denial have I met with amongst hem. And, for example, look at thi9 man approaching us." lie was a fine looking fellow, of five r six and twenty, with a military air, and dressed in uniform. The lower part if his face was very handsotno, and his dark, sunburnt complexion suited well with the long mustaches. I could not ee his eyes, for the visor of his cap was drawn down so as completely to shade hem from the light. Having exchang- id a cordial salutation with tho curate he passed on, followed by a huge white dog, with thick fur and enormous paws. The animal belonged to a breed peculiar o the Pyrenees, and remarkable for heir sagacity and faithfulness. '•Now," said my companion, as soon as he soldier had passed out (t hearing, 'while we walk along, I will tell you a rue story, of which you have just seen wo of the principal characters. •'Juan Trigoyen w r as bora in the heart }f these mouutains, where the peasant has his choice of following one of two ccupatious,—that of n shepherd, or a hunter. Juan chose the latter, as bis 'ather had done before him ; and a haz- ardous pursuit it is. Not merely has the mountain hunter to scale all but inacces- iblo precipices, and to brave the fury of amished bears and wolves, but ho is instantly exposed to be swept away by a torrent, or buried beneath an ava- anche. To this latter peril Juan's fath- r had fallen a victim. Crushed beneath a mass of snow, he perished, leaviog his ion no other heritage than his dog, his gun, and his grandmother Gertrude, an aged woman, unequal to the task of sup- orting horself. Juan, at this time a fine lad of eighteen, loved his grand- fiother tenderly ; she had always sup- plied to him tho place of his mother, who had died in giving him birth, and he now, with a courage and resolution be- yond his years, undertook the sole charge of their maintenance. Ho had been early trained to tho chase, and suc- cess now crowned his efforts. The num- ber of izards, eagles and bears struck down by his hand, testified the sureness of his foot and the certainty of his aim. "Thanks to thovalue of these spoils, Gertrude knew no privation; but she remblfld for tho safety of her beloved child, and often said to him with tears Q her eyes, 'Stay at home to-day, Juan ; you will perish some time or other, like your poor father ; and what should I do "eft alone, without any one to love in the world ?' "Then tho lad would answer: 'Calm yourself, mother, Providence will watch over me for your sake.' "Thus did Juau work hard during the week for his own and his parent's sup port, and on Sunday I loved to see them entering my little church, Gertrude lean- ing on the arm of her handsome boy, and both joining in the prayers with the utmost devotion. "Two years passed on, and Juan was returning one day from Ixigneres, whith- er he had gone to dispose of some game. It was winter, and tho north wind blew piercingly cold ; but the young hunter stepped on briskly, whistling a lively tune. Suddenly a cry of distress struck his ear, but he knew not whence itcamo. "'On, Cresar!' he cried, trusting to his dog'a sagacity; 'seek it out, boy !' "The docile creature set off in the di rection of a thick pine-grove, and his master followed ; the cries beoamo loud- er, and Juan recognized the voice of a female in distress. Ho redoubled his npecd, still preceded by the dog. At length he readied an open space, and there was Caesar struggliug with a wolf, wliile on tho ground lay a woman, with a huge she-wolf in the act of fastening on her neck. With a shout Juan rush ed forward, and at the sound the fierce creature raised her head, andfixedon him two eye balls glowing with rnge and hunger. Without a moment's hesitation tho intrepid hunter seized her by the throat with one hand, and thrusting tho other into her mouth, grasped her tongue, and dragged it ug with an iron vie;. After a fearful struggle,, he suc- ceeded in dashing tho strangled beast ou the ground. This done, Juan looked round to fee if his faithful ally hadneed of assistance. No; his antagonist also fay dead, aud tho hunter had time to at- tend to the woman, who lay motionles" on the ground, having fainted from ex- ce?8 of terror. Her deliverer raised her gently in his arms, put back the rich brown hair that had fallen over hor face, and perceived that sho was a young and very lovelv girl. Taking a handful of tbe snow which lay on tho ground, he rubbed it on her temples, and then suc- ceeded in putting some small bits of ice into her mouth. By degrees she reviv- ed, her eyulids unclosed, and she drew a deep sigh. " 'Where amI V she murmured. " 'Safe with a friend.' " 'it was yon, then, who saved mo ?' " 'Rather it was Providence, who was pleased to employ my hand.' "She thanked him with a look far more eloquent than words; aud then, with confiding simplicity, as sho still felt weak, asked him to let her lean on his arm as fur as her home. 'I was going to the towD,' she said, 'to sell some milk when those dreadful wolves attacked me, upset my pitnher, and, but for your time- ly aid aud that of your good dog, would surely have devoured me.' "The conversation thus commenced did not flag. Juan soon learned that Marguerite lived in the hamlet of Cam- pan ; that sho was an orphan, and had no property save a small cottage, one cow, and eomo hens. She managed to support herself with the profits of these animals and of her spinning. Her per- fect candor and her innocent beauty charmed the honest heart of Juan ; he thought that, wero he possessed of all the treasures iu the world, lie would like to laythem at Marguerite's feet.— Ou entering the village, the news of the adventure spread quickly; and it was easy to see, by the consequent excitement how much the young girl was beloved by her neighbors. Eoih young and old rushed forth to meet her; Juan was overwhelmed with thanks and praises; nor was poor Ctcsar by any means for gotten. "'Adieu, Marguerite,' said Juan, when ho had accompanied her to her cottage door. 'May 1 sometimes oome to see you ?' " 'To whom should my door bo open, if not to my deliverer ':' said tho joung girl, innocently, at the same time extend ing her hand to Juan. Ho pressed il to his lips, aud liasteucd awaj. •When he reached home, he found Gertrudo very uneasy at his prolonged absenee. " ( Oh, my child! she cried, 'whero have you been, and what are those staius of blood upon your dress ?' "Juau smiled. 'Don't bo uneasy, mother; this blood is not mine, but that of an enemy I killed.' Aud ho told her all that had occurred, not conceal- ing the fcelingi of adariratrou uml lovo which he felt for her whom he had res- cued. '"Thank God, my child,' said tho old woman, 'that your choice lias fallen on so worthy an object. I have often lienrd the beauty andvirtuous industry of Mar- guerite commeudod. Sho is called by her neighbors the Pearl of CampaD,' 'It never occurred to the afFeciionate grandmother that the fair girl in ques- tion could possibly be insensible to the attractions of her boy ; and, indeed, tho ovont proved that she was n;>t far wrong. Marguerite was of too innocent and frank a nature to play the coquette wit'i him who had risked his life; for hers, and the preliminaries for their marriage wero speedily arranged. "On the morning preceding that on which their bans were to be published, the sound of a drum was beard in the peaceful Valley of Campan; and the prefect of the district proclaimed the drawing of conscripts for the army.— Poor Juau ! his was amongst thefirstof the selected names, and at the moment the shock nearly stunned him. How- ever , ho had been taught not to shrink from his duty, and having calmly made the needful preparations, he drew his betrothed aside, and said, 'Listen to mo, Marguerite. Yon promised to be mine; I am going away for some years, perhaps forever; it is right that you should be free,—I give you back your vow.' " 'And I,' said the girl, 'I will not take it back. Whether our next meet- ing, Juan, will be here or in that better world to which, I trust, we are both looking, I will never marry any one but you.' "The young man pressed her hand in silence. 'But my my mother !' ho said at length, while two unwonted tears rolled down his cheek; 'she is old, in- firm, unable to work for her suppart ' '•'Your mother, Juan,' interrupted Marguerite, 'is she not henceforth mine ? So long as God gives me strength to work, our mother shall not want ahome ' "And so, with mutual blessings and fond tears they parted. "Ca;sar followed his master to the wars, and Gertrude, on the day of Ju- an's departure, took up her abode in Marguerite's cottage. The old woman managed the domestic affairs, while the young one carried her milk, butter, eggs and poultry to market. In the evenings as they both eat at their spinning- wheels, their conversation naturally turn- ed on Juan : 'Where is ho now ? what is he doing while wo are speaking of him ?' Sometimes their anxiety was as- suaged by the arrival of a letter, filltd with hope andtenderness ; but at length one came which incrersed their sorrow. It bore the stamp of Algeria. Juan an- r.ounced that his regiment had just landed in Africa, and was immediately to march on the town of /taatcba, where a number of insurgent Arabs had in- trenched themselves. Some sharp fight- ing was expected, as the rebels wero kuown to be desperate. Under this af- flicting intelligence, the two women found thoir only consolation in religion,—in eennuitting their dear oucto the care of (Jod. Every day, on her vvny to tho town, Marguerite was accustomed to pause for a few minutes at the spot where «he first met hiy botrolhed, and where, during the happy days of their oourlehip, he had raised a rustic seat she used to kneel beside that simple memento, and pray fervently, nor ili.i she ever suiao and go on her way with- out feeling strengthened and encouraged. "Every evening, on her return, her first question to Gertrude was, 'Has Ju- an written ?' Aud tho old woman would silently shako her head with n despair- ing gesture, which seemed to imply, 'Ju- an will never write to us again !' "One day as Marguerite was. return- ing from LJagnercs, she was overtaken by a violent thunder storm. Thero was uo place of refugo nearer than her own cottage; and with her garments drip- ping, aud her eyes nearly blinded by the driving lain, she hastened towards it.— What did sho see 'i A blazing, light ning-stricken pile, surrounded by a ter- rified crowd of villagers. " 'Mother! cried Marguerite, darting onwards, 'where aro you V "A cry of agony fi'Otu within tho burn- ing cottage was the reply. " 'Mother, courage ! I'll savo, or die with you !' And before the astounded spectators could detain her, sho rushed through the flames. A minute, which seemed ao ago of agonizing suspense, elapsed, and Margucrito reappeared, dragging forth her pious burden, and forming with her own body a rampart against the flames. Scarcely had sho al- lowed the old woman to fall into some of the arms ready to receive her, when the heroic girl sunk down, herself, iuani- mate. "When she opened her eyes," coniiu- uod the curate, "she was in an apart- ment in my house, whither I had caused her to be carried. Gertrude and I had watched for three days and three nights by her bad, awaiting the moment of re- turning consciousness. Her first eecsa- tiou was that of torturing pain iu her face. She raised her hand to it, and felt that it was so enveloped iu bandages as to leave only the mouth and eyes free. A cry escaped her lips. 'Oh, I remem- ber the storm,—tho flames ; I am dis- figured for life,—is it not so ?' "Gertrude mid I were silent. It was but too tiue ; the devouring element, leaving her body, protected by her wet clolhes, untouched, had seized on her face. The beauty of feature and delica- cy of complexion, which had procured !or her her graceful sobriquet, was total- ly destroyed. "Until tho bandages were removed, which the surgeon did not as yet judge it prudent to do, he could not tell the extent of the disfigurement, but that it would be very great was certain. Our silenro, and tho tears which wo could not repress, acquainted tho poor child with her misfortune. She raised her eyes to heaven with a touching express- sion of resignation. 'It is Thy will, my God,' eha said, 'but let not Juan see me thus.' "'Juan!' repeated Gertrude; 'we shall soon embrace him.' " 'Is he coming ?' "'In ten days,—see yourself.' She handed a letter to Marguerite, which the latter read with cagernsss. It was writ- ten by the hand of one of his comrades, and informed them that Juan, who had received a severe wound at the seigo of Zaatcha, was BOW convalescent in Uu-spi- tal; hadoblained, as a reward for his services, a cros3 of merit, his discharge, and pension, and would bo with thorn in teu or twelve davs at the furthest. "Having finished reading tho letter, Marguerite fell into a profound reverie, from which neither Gertrude's fend ca- resses nor my attempts at consolation could arouse her. 'Oh, sir,' said she, at last, 'it is not, indeed it is not for his own sake that I value beauty, but how an Juan love me when ho sees me in this state ?' At that momcut tho sur- geon entered, anil having folt his patient's pulse, he began silently to remove tho bandages. As soon as Marguerite felt that hor wounds were exposed, she ftk- cd for a mirror. " 'Not yet my child ; not to day,' said the doctor. She tried to raise her hands to feel her face. 'Hold her arms down,' cried tho surgeon to the old woman aud myself. We did so, involuntarily turn- ing away our eyes from tho sight of those swolleu and mutilated features, once so lovely. "Nine days pnssed on; the wounds were regularly dressed, and were now nearly cicatrized. The tenth day was that of Juau 'a expected return ; but no one ventured to speak of it. Early in the morning, Marguerite rose, and pre- pared to go out, sayiug that a walk in the fresh air would do her good. I offer- ed to accompany her. " : No, thank you sir,' sho said ; 'my good mother alone will come with me.' And with one hand slightly leaning on Gertrude's arm, while the other held a small package, she went out. They walked towards Juan's rustic seat, but very slowly, for the convalescent was yet very weak. "Arrived there she knelt down, and, after a short, silent prayer, she turned to Gertrude, and embracing her, said,— Uless your daughter, dear mother, for tbe last time: you will never eco her again.' " 'What do youmean, my child V " 'The truth. I am going away. You will saygood by for mo to him mother ; and tell him that it is my very lovefor him that forces me tofty' " 'But dear one,' said Gertrudo, de- taining her, 'you wrong our Juau ; he has a noble heart, andho will love you all the better for these noble scars, when he hears that it was in saving mo from a dreadful death you received them.' " 'He has a noble heart,' replied trie girl ; 'and I know that ho would marry me, and try to make mo happy; but how could I endure his averted looks,— his sorrow ! No, no ; I shall Buffer much l3ss in suffering alone.' "Just then a well-known bark was heard, and [a largo whito dog rushed out of tho woody path. 'Cccsar !' cried Gertrudo. 'Where is your master?' " ' Here he is,' replied an agitated voice; and holding ono ond of a cord, of which the other was fastened to Cresar's collar, a soldier appeared. 'Mother ! are you hore ? Whero is Marguerite ''. Why don't you come and embrace jour poor blind wanderer ?' " 'Blind ! exclaimed Marguerite ; and fixing her eyes on her betrothed, s-he saw that his were covered with a band- age. I cannot describe the emotions of ail three; suffice it to say, that aftor an incredible number of embraces, Gertrude aud her two children returned to my HOthM, and wo pivsscd a delightful evou- ing." Here tho curate stopped, and I thought his tale was ended. "Well," I said, "I suppose the blind warrior aud his betrothed,—still, iu his imagination, blooming in all her youth- ful charms,—were speedily united ?" "They were," he replied. "It was I who married them ; but I have some- what more to toll you of them. Their cottage, by the willing aid of the villa- gers, was soon rebuilt, aud they removed into it. Their circumstances were very comfortable, and Juan supported his in- firmity.—caused, ho told me, by tho ex- plosion of a mine,—with the utmost cheerfulness. His tenderness for his wife Beemed to increase every day ; and yet sho was evidently not happy. She became a prey to constant melancholy, and her health and strength visibly de- clined. Her old friend, the doctor, visit- ed and prescribed for her, but without avail. " 'My art is at fault,' he said to me. 'tier body suffers, but the seat of tho disease is her mind. Do you try to die. over what the secret is which weighs on her, may bo, or I canoot answer fur her life.' "Alns ! how could 1 apply tho conso- lation of religion to a case of which tho sufferer persisted in keeping me pro- foundly ignorant V Once sho seemed on tbe point of openiog her mind, but J ua:i entered tho room, and she was silent; nor could I ever afterwards induce her to speak freely. Meantime her bodily condition became very precarious; and Juan, who was now awaroof her danger, scarcely ever stirred from her side. Old Gertrude, as you may suppose, was scarcely less anxious about her. "One evening, when I was in the cot tage, the doctor arrived ; and having ex amined his patient, pronounced that un- less some powerful reaction took pi sice she could not long survive. How solemn were tho moments that succeeded this announcement.' Poor Juau grasped con- vulsively the baud of his wifi.', while large tears streamed from beneath his bandage. "I began to exhort her on the subject of religion ; and when I spoke of the mercy of her Maker, she exclaimed,— .'Oli, I have great need of mercy, for my conscience is burdened with a heavy load. Listen,' sho continued, address- ing us all, 'and tell me whethor I can hope for forgiveness.' "Grouped around her bed, we waited in silent astonishment. Marguerite had raised herself into a sitting posture ; her wasted arms, her disordered hair, her •unkon features, her hollow eyes, gleam- ng with a light liko that of a lamp kind- ing up before it is extinguished foraver, cut an air of iudescribablo solemnity to the scene. Placing her hand in her imsband's, sho said,—'Juan, you remem- ber, when we separated, the promise which wo made of mutual fidelity ? My iioart was yours, and yours was mine, Well, the terror of losing that heart aused mo to commit agrievous sin. I pictured you lo myself with shocked, averted looks, at the first sight of her who was once named tWe Pearl; and in the agony, the delirium of the moment, I cried to Heaven: "Oh, God! either give mo back my beauty, or take from him his eyesight!" Tho tnomor.t the selfish impious prayer was uttered, I bitterly repented, and would fain have never known since one moment's happi- ness.' " What !' cried her husband, 'andis this the secret, Marguerite, which is kill- og you ?' ""'It is.' " 'Then live, dearest, and be happy ; your prayer was«o< answered.' "And tearing off the bandage which covered his eyes, he fell on his wife's bosom, and clasped her iu a long em brace. "It appeared that the blindness which had fallen on Juan was of only a tempo- rary nature. Under the skilful treatment ofourfiiend the surgeou, whom he pri- vately consulted, the power of vision began slowly, but surely, to return. Having, however, heard from his grand- mother the whole history of Marguerite's horror at the idoa of his beholding her disfigured face, ho generously detormiu- ed to conceal from her his cure, at least for a time. Now, however, it was sud- denly revealed ; aud was it too late ? Tho doctor, motioning us all away from the bed, took his patient's hand, and felt her pulse ; a hopeful smilo played on his be- nevolent lips " 'My friend,' said he, turning to me, 'tho age of miracles has not ceased,— Marguerite is cured ' " Here the good man ceased, and, after pause, I asko-1,—"And was Marguerite in reality so very much disfigured V "You shall judge for yourself." We walked on and soon '-eached a neat and pretty cottage, covered in front with a luxuriant vine. An old woman sat »car tho doorway spinning, and placed on a low chair by her side, a young woman was nursing an infant. Her figure was remarkably graceful, and her face, although certainly not handsome, was by no means repulsive It was oven easy to distinguish, amid the yns and scars which marked it, tho vestiges of great beauty. There was a touching expression of sereue tender- ness shed over her leaturep, us she look- ed ou her child, which in my eyos amply compensated for tho waut of regular comeliness. The curate advanced. "Good-morn- ing, Marguerite," he said. "Good-morning, sir," sho answered, looking up with a beaming smile. "How is baby to-day Y" "As well as possible," said the happy mother, holding up and bhoniug her nursling's rosy, dimpled cheeks. "Well, Margueri'c," said the good old man, taking tho innocent little creature in his arras, and kissing its tender fore- head, "I could fanoy this is as 1 remem- ber you ou the day that I baptized you. Come, the Valley of Oampau has not lost its Pearl,-»-it is restored iu the person of your lovely little daughter," S\OW-FL.IKES. LOHGFU/LOW. WE l 1 ASS *OR WHAT WE AUK.—A man passes for what ho is worth. Very idle is ail curiosity concerning other people's estimate of us aud all fear of remaining unknown is not less so.

Even as our cloudy fancies take Suddenly shape iu some divine expres- sion, Even as the troubled heart doth make in the white countenance confession, The troubled sky reveals The grief it feels.

An Apothecary bothered. The English actor Macready wrote a very illegible hand, espocially in his orders of admission to the theater. At New Orleans an incident happened which recalls tho note of dismissal written by Horace Greeley to ono of tho Tribune compositors, andwhich said com- positor used as a recommendation, and on tho strength of it got a good situation in another cflice ! Uue day Mr. Brougham obtained from Macready an order of admission for a friend. Ou handing it to the gentleman tho latter observed that, if ho had not known what it purported to be, he never would have suspected vrhat it was. "It looks more liko a prescription than any- thing else," he added. "So it does," said Mr. Brougham ; "let us go and have it made up." Turning into the nearest drug-store, the paper was handed to the clerk, who gave it a careless glauco and then pro- ceeded to get a vial ready and pull out divers boxen. With another look at the order, down came a tincture bottle, aud tho vial was halt filled. Then there was a pause. The gentlemanly attendant was evidently puzzled. At last ho broke down completely, and rang for his principal, anelderly and severe looking individual, who presently emerged from his inner sanctum. The two whispered together an instant, when the old dispenser looked at tho docu- ment, and with an air of pity for the ignorance of his subordinate, boldly fill- ed up the vial with some apocryphal fluid, and duly corked and labeled it. Then handing it to the gentlemen who were waiting, ho s-aid : "A cough niix- iure, nnd a very good one. Fifty cents, If you please." The Poor Old Romans—How They Lived. Not only wero the ancient Romans a hard lot, but they were a lot of lurd- livers, nnd henco to them most of the sources of troublo that aro common to Christians were unkuown. The lifo of an avernge lloman was about as exalted as that of a modern hog. Tho Komann had neither rum, uor gin, nor whisky, nor brandy; they had nocoffoe, r.o tea, no chocolate, no sugar ; they had neither cigars, nor pipes, no" snuff, and tobacco was aa'unknown to them as Terra del Fuego; thoy were unacquainted with tho hoop, tho revolver, tho habeas cor- pus, and the Erie railroad; they were destitute of daily newspapers, monthly magazines, quarterly reviews, electric telegraphs, aud steamboats ; they were tadly off for soap; and, to extend Dr. Arbuthnot's remark concerning Augus- tus, not one of their Emperors had either glass to his windows', or a shirt to his back—not a llomau had ever seon a Bible, nor read "Tho Dairyman's Daughter;" nor wept over ''Uncle Tom's Cabin," nor become excited over an abolition speech or a woman's rights lecture—they never had a Gretna Green or a Rhode Island to facilitate marriag- es, nor an Indiana or an Illinois to make divorces as easy as lyiug. The Liomans fed at their troughs by day, and pigged in their straw by night, and when tho vermin that haunted their togas became too pressing in their attentions they held the said togas over or nc-ar the fire, and made them too hot for the little pests. Tho great and gracious Porapie- us blew his nose with his fingers, andthe mighty Julius himself mopped his eyes and cheeks, after blubberiug, with his imperial paws. The baths that became so common in late times were the conse- quences of attempts to civilize the brutes. Not knowing these aud other things the Romans grow up a robust race, with hides of tilth over their skins, and wer?. iu short, a hardy, dirty, virtuous, aud care-tsheddiug gang. TUE USES OF ADVERSITY.—You wear out your clothes. You aro not troubled with visitors. You aro exonerated from makiug calls. Bores do not bore you. Tax-gatherers hurry past your door. Itinerant bands do not play opposite your windows. You avoid the nuisance of serving on juries. No one thinks of presenting you with a testimonial. No tradesman irritates you by s sking 'Is there any other littlo artielo you waut today?" Impostors know it is no use to bleed you. You practice temperance. You swal- low infinitely less poison than others. Flatterers do not ehoot their rubbish into yonr cars. You are saved many a debt, many a deception, many a headache. And, lastly, if you fcave a true friend iu tho world, you are sure in si very short space of time, to know it. WHO MOVED DAT WIM,L ?—Some years since n prominent business man of Northampton, Mass., who began to " sow his wild oats" when a boy, and hasn't got all through yet, attended a colored ball on Market street in that town. Af- ter each " breakdown,' he noticed that a well nenr tho house, by the way not a, deep one, was resorted to by the men to queuch their thirst. Unobserv- ed, while tho dance was going on, ho slipped out of the house :iud moved the curb a few feet beyond the well, uud waited the result. Presently out oBHle one of the danders, and pi amp into tho well ho wor.t. Blowing and puJ5cg caiuo to tho tup, and exoluimed, By gorry ! who's moved dis well siuco I'cs uut hero hst V From the Omaha Republican, Jan. 7/ The PaciOc Railroad. During tho construction of the Union' Pacific railroad, local freight aud pas- sec ger rates were fixed at high figures —so high as to induco a very general beliief that having no competition for tha carrying trade across the continent, the roads, when completed, would exact the last cent which tho public could stand —in short, that tho through line from tho Missouri river to the Pacifio would be amonopoly—rigorous and merciless" in its exactions—aud that the chief ben* efit which it was destined to coufer up- on the country was a more speedy means of transit across the continent. Such were tho very general predic- tions of tho newspaper press, and np^ peals were snado to congress to compel' the corporation to reduce its tariff. No- action was taken, however, in this diree' tion. A voluntary reduction of 25 per cent, on pafsengor nnd freight rates pro- duced very general satisfaction. Tiiia occurred before tho roads wero complet- ed. On the 14th cf Juno the first through rates were agreed upon by tha Union and Central Pacific railroads be- tween Omaha and Sau Francisco, for 1 first class travel. Tha rate fixed at that time, with tha subsequent reductions ai the times named below, will be seen by an examination of the following tablo : ; OMAHA TO SAN FBANCleCO. TJate. FirsUflaM rirc.- Juno 14. 1869 *13S 85' Jam: 16i U09 133 0« Aut;. 14, 18«9 Ill 00 Jau'y 1, 1S70 100 UO It will bo seen from the nfcove thafi 1 - within the past sis and a half months,- first-cliis3 pas enger rates between Oma- ha and San Francisco have been reduced' by tho voluntary action of ihe two com- panies from §i;;3 35 to $100. During tho same period local rates for passengers havo been reduced about 35 per cent., and the local freight tariff has been reduced 40 per cent., while the through freight tariff has boeu reduced!' 56 per cent. On the 1st day of January, 1870, the through rate for a first class passvane'f between New York and San Francisco" was reduced from 8154 05 to §140—a second-class rate waa established between tho Bame points at $110, and an emi- grant rate fixed at the extremely low- prico cf 500. Tho distance between 1 New York and San Ir'rancisuo is, in round numbers, 3,500 miles ; tho emi- grant rate is therefore only \% cents per mile, which is below that of any other railway line in the United States. The first class fare ($140 through) is just four cents per milo from New York to San Francisco, and in dividing this fare the Pacifio railroad reduces with all the other roads which form the through line. Another important faet should be- overlookod, viz: All of theso feduc-" tons in through rates have been the re- sult of the urgent solicitations of the of- ficers of the Union Pacific railroad, who have uniformly been ihe pioneers in er- ery movement which has resulttd in a' reduction of freight and passenger rates oy rail between the two oceans. Mr. F. Oolton, general passenger a^eLt of the Union I'aciiic railroad, was the fir.-t to .trge, in the recent Chicago Convention f general pa&sspger agents, & reduction 1 t-c!a?s through rales between New York and San 'Francisco to four cents per mile. Arrangements are nearly consummate dforsi iiing through tickets over this great continental line froir cew York to all important commercial poiuts in Ohi- :ia nnd Japan.

Its officers take a moro enlarged and liberal and sensible view f tho true policy of managing so great i work as this. They aro looking to the) augmentation of the business of tho road by the adoption of reasonable rates of 'ares and freights, and depending upon hat policy to increase tho net earniuga of tho road. Tho result has abundant- ly vindicated the wisdom of their course. In the month of October tho gross earn- ngs of the Union Pacifio exceeded. $1,000,000, and we predict that thv business of 1870 will exhibit a T'ery largo ncrcase over the earnings of Ihe year ust closed, ^m i i —« ^m i »»u Ifi.iioisM IN ECONOMY—Miss Muloch tells us that it takes a heroine to bo eco- nomical ; for will not many a woman rather run in debt for a bonnet than wear her old one a year behind' the mode V—give a ball and stint the family dinuer for a month after ?—take a large houso and furnish handsome reception rooms, while her household huddleto- gether anyhow? She prefers this a hundred times to standing plainly, by word or manner, " My income is so much a year. I don't care who known it. It will not allow me lo live beyond a certain rate ; it will not keep comforta- ble both my family and acnua'ntanccs. Therefore, excuse my preferring tha omfort of my family to tho entertain- ment of my acquaintanccs. And, socie- ty, if you choose to look in upon us, you must just take us as we are, without any preteuces of any kind ; or you may shut the door and say good-by 1 All the stories told of Siamese twins hardly cqur.l thi.s of tho Scotch doublti man, ot when tho followiug account is given bythe Rerum Scottarum Histon'a : "During tho reign of James III., of Scotland, and at his court, there liveda, man double above tho waist, and singlo below that region. Tho King caused him to be carefully brought up. Ho rapidly acquired a knowledge of music ; the two heads learned several laflgoltgtl; they debated together, and tho two up- per halves occasionally fought. They lived generally, however, in the greatest harmony. When tho lower part of tho body was tickled, the two individuals felt it together ; but when, on tho other hand, one of the upper individuals was touched, h'e atone felt 1 the cfl'eat. This monstrous beiug died at thoago of twen- ty eigpf years. One of the bodies died several d:iys before tho other." A Jealous husband in Memphis broko his wit's nose, because ho thought her beauty attracted too much attention. A little boy of Provincetown, Moss., four years old, very anxious for a drum, the. evening preceding ChriatmaB eve, ou going to bed, made the following prayer : " Now I lay mo down to sleep, / want a drum, ' [ pray tho Lord,' I wont a drtwt, ' my soul to keep, 1 Kitnt a drum, And if I should die before 1 w;ikc,' / want u drum."

Cold ! bitterly cold!Tito moon is brightAnd the snow is while ;

Beautiful to behold ;But the wind is howlingLike hungry prowling

Wolves on the wintry woid ,Cold! bitterly cold !

My shawl Is ragged (infl old—The hearth is deserted and dark,Gladdened by never a spark,And my only light

Is the pitiless whiteThat the moonbeams spillSilvery chill,Cruelly—splendidly bright,This frosty winter's night—

Cold!—bitterly cold !

Babe more precious than gold,Rest, little one, rest 1Sleep, my own one,Slumber, thou lone one,Clasped to thy mother's breast,Though thin and wasted her torm,

Her anus shall enfoldAnd shieid thee from cold,

For the love in her breast is warm,Though the chill night breezeMay the life blood froe/.c—

Cold !—bitterly cold !

Cold !—bitterly cold !My eyes arc dim,And my senses swim,

And racking pains are In every limb—1 am prematurely old !

Foodless and tireless,Almost attlrcless,Wrapt in rags so scanty and thinWith bones that stare through the

colorless skin,Weary and wornTattered and torn,If I should wish 1 had ne'er been

born—Tell me, is it a sin?

Cold world !—bitterly cold !

THE PEARL OF CA.11PAS.

One fine morning in autumn, I wasrambling through the secluded Valleyf CampaD, in the Pyrenees, accompa-

nied by the excellent curate of the dist-ict, with whom in the course of my per-

egrinations I had become acquainted,and beneath whose hospitable rouf I hadpromised to spend the night. The see-iery was wild and lovely beyond des-ription ; and having expressed my ad-niratton of it, I added a wish to knowomething of the inhabitants.

"They have hearts of gold and willsof iron," Baid my friend. "Many a touch-ng and noble instance of generosity

d self-denial have I met with amongsthem. And, for example, look at thi9

man approaching us."lie was a fine looking fellow, of five

r six and twenty, with a military air,and dressed in uniform. The lower partif his face was very handsotno, and hisdark, sunburnt complexion suited wellwith the long mustaches. I could notee his eyes, for the visor of his cap was

drawn down so as completely to shadehem from the light. Having exchang-id a cordial salutation with tho curate

he passed on, followed by a huge whitedog, with thick fur and enormous paws.The animal belonged to a breed peculiaro the Pyrenees, and remarkable forheir sagacity and faithfulness.

'•Now," said my companion, as soon ashe soldier had passed out ( t hearing,'while we walk along, I will tell you arue story, of which you have just seenwo of the principal characters.

•'Juan Trigoyen wras bora in the heart}f these mouutains, where the peasanthas his choice of following one of two

ccupatious,—that of n shepherd, or ahunter. Juan chose the latter, as bis'ather had done before him ; and a haz-ardous pursuit it is. Not merely has themountain hunter to scale all but inacces-iblo precipices, and to brave the fury ofamished bears and wolves, but ho isinstantly exposed to be swept away by

a torrent, or buried beneath an ava-anche. To this latter peril Juan's fath-r had fallen a victim. Crushed beneath

a mass of snow, he perished, leaviog hision no other heritage than his dog, hisgun, and his grandmother Gertrude, anaged woman, unequal to the task of sup-orting horself. Juan, at this time a

fine lad of eighteen, loved his grand-fiother tenderly ; she had always sup-

plied to him tho place of his mother,who had died in giving him birth, and henow, with a courage and resolution be-yond his years, undertook the solecharge of their maintenance. Ho hadbeen early trained to tho chase, and suc-cess now crowned his efforts. The num-ber of izards, eagles and bears struckdown by his hand, testified the surenessof his foot and the certainty of his aim.

"Thanks to tho value of these spoils,Gertrude knew no privation; but sheremblfld for tho safety of her beloved

child, and often said to him with tearsQ her eyes, 'Stay at home to-day, Juan ;

you will perish some time or other, likeyour poor father ; and what should I do"eft alone, without any one to love in theworld ?'

"Then tho lad would answer: 'Calmyourself, mother, Providence will watchover me for your sake.'

"Thus did Juau work hard during theweek for his own and his parent's support, and on Sunday I loved to see thementering my little church, Gertrude lean-ing on the arm of her handsome boy,and both joining in the prayers with theutmost devotion.

"Two years passed on, and Juan wasreturning one day from Ixigneres, whith-er he had gone to dispose of some game.I t was winter, and tho north wind blewpiercingly cold ; but the young hunterstepped on briskly, whistling a livelytune. Suddenly a cry of distress struckhis ear, but he knew not whence itcamo.

" 'On, Cresar!' he cried, trusting tohis dog'a sagacity; 'seek it out, boy !'

"The docile creature set off in the direction of a thick pine-grove, and hismaster followed ; the cries beoamo loud-er, and Juan recognized the voice of afemale in distress. Ho redoubled hisnpecd, still preceded by the dog. Atlength he readied an open space, andthere was Caesar struggliug with a wolf,wliile on tho ground lay a woman, witha huge she-wolf in the act of fasteningon her neck. With a shout Juan rushed forward, and at the sound the fiercecreature raised her head, and fixed onhim two eye balls glowing with rnge andhunger. Without a moment's hesitationtho intrepid hunter seized her by thethroat with one hand, and thrusting thoother into her mouth, grasped hertongue, and dragged it ug with an ironvie;. After a fearful struggle,, he suc-ceeded in dashing tho strangled beastou the ground. This done, Juan looked

round to fee if his faithful ally had needof assistance. No; his antagonist alsofay dead, aud tho hunter had time to at-tend to the woman, who lay motionles"on the ground, having fainted from ex-ce?8 of terror. Her deliverer raised hergently in his arms, put back the richbrown hair that had fallen over hor face,and perceived that sho was a young andvery lovelv girl. Taking a handful oftbe snow which lay on tho ground, herubbed it on her temples, and then suc-ceeded in putting some small bits of iceinto her mouth. By degrees she reviv-ed, her eyulids unclosed, and she drewa deep sigh.

" 'Where am I V she murmured." 'Safe with a friend.'" ' i t was yon, then, who saved mo ?'" 'Rather it was Providence, who was

pleased to employ my hand.'"She thanked him with a look far

more eloquent than words; aud then,with confiding simplicity, as sho still feltweak, asked him to let her lean on hisarm as fur as her home. ' I was goingto the towD,' she said, 'to sell some milkwhen those dreadful wolves attacked me,upset my pitnher, and, but for your time-ly aid aud that of your good dog, wouldsurely have devoured me.'

"The conversation thus commenceddid not flag. Juan soon learned thatMarguerite lived in the hamlet of Cam-pan ; that sho was an orphan, and hadno property save a small cottage, onecow, and eomo hens. She managed tosupport herself with the profits of theseanimals and of her spinning. Her per-fect candor and her innocent beautycharmed the honest heart of Juan ; hethought that, wero he possessed of allthe treasures iu the world, lie wouldlike to lay them at Marguerite's feet.—Ou entering the village, the news of theadventure spread quickly; and it waseasy to see, by the consequent excitementhow much the young girl was belovedby her neighbors. Eoih young and oldrushed forth to meet her; Juan wasoverwhelmed with thanks and praises;nor was poor Ctcsar by any means forgotten.

" 'Adieu, Marguerite,' said Juan,when ho had accompanied her to hercottage door. 'May 1 sometimes oometo see you ?'

" 'To whom should my door bo open,if not to my deliverer ':' said tho jounggirl, innocently, at the same time extending her hand to Juan. Ho pressed il tohis lips, aud liasteucd awaj.

•When he reached home, he foundGertrudo very uneasy at his prolongedabsenee.

" (Oh, my child! she cried, 'wherohave you been, and what are those staiusof blood upon your dress ?'

"Juau smiled. 'Don't bo uneasy,mother; this blood is not mine, but thatof an enemy I killed.' Aud ho toldher all that had occurred, not conceal-ing the fcelingi of adariratrou • uml lovowhich he felt for her whom he had res-cued.

'"Thank God, my child,' said tho oldwoman, 'that your choice lias fallen onso worthy an object. I have often lienrdthe beauty and virtuous industry of Mar-guerite commeudod. Sho is called byher neighbors the Pearl of CampaD,'

' I t never occurred to the afFeciionategrandmother that the fair girl in ques-tion could possibly be insensible to theattractions of her boy ; and, indeed, thoovont proved that she was n;>t far wrong.Marguerite was of too innocent andfrank a nature to play the coquette wit'ihim who had risked his life; for hers,and the preliminaries for their marriagewero speedily arranged.

"On the morning preceding that onwhich their bans were to be published,the sound of a drum was beard in thepeaceful Valley of Campan; and theprefect of the district proclaimed thedrawing of conscripts for the army.—Poor Juau ! his was amongst the first ofthe selected names, and at the momentthe shock nearly stunned him. How-ever , ho had been taught not to shrinkfrom his duty, and having calmly madethe needful preparations, he drew hisbetrothed aside, and said, 'Listen to mo,Marguerite. Yon promised to be mine;I am going away for some years, perhapsforever; it is right that you should befree,—I give you back your vow.'

" 'And I,' said the girl, ' I will nottake it back. Whether our next meet-ing, Juan, will be here or in that betterworld to which, I trust, we are bothlooking, I will never marry any one butyou.'

"The young man pressed her hand insilence. 'But my my mother !' ho saidat length, while two unwonted tearsrolled down his cheek; 'she is old, in-firm, unable to work for her suppart '

'•'Your mother, Juan,' interruptedMarguerite, 'is she not henceforth mine ?So long as God gives me strength towork, our mother shall not want a home '

"And so, with mutual blessings andfond tears they parted.

"Ca;sar followed his master to thewars, and Gertrude, on the day of Ju-an's departure, took up her abode inMarguerite's cottage. The old womanmanaged the domestic affairs, while theyoung one carried her milk, butter, eggsand poultry to market. In the eveningsas they both eat at their spinning-wheels, their conversation naturally turn-ed on Juan : 'Where is ho now ? whatis he doing while wo are speaking ofhim ?' Sometimes their anxiety was as-suaged by the arrival of a letter, filltdwith hope and tenderness ; but at lengthone came which incrersed their sorrow.It bore the stamp of Algeria. Juan an-r.ounced that his regiment had justlanded in Africa, and was immediatelyto march on the town of /taatcba, wherea number of insurgent Arabs had in-trenched themselves. Some sharp fight-ing was expected, as the rebels werokuown to be desperate. Under this af-flicting intelligence, the two women foundthoir only consolation in religion,—ineennuitting their dear ouc to the care of(Jod. Every day, on her vvny to thotown, Marguerite was accustomed topause for a few minutes at the spotwhere «he first met hiy botrolhed, andwhere, during the happy days of theiroourlehip, he had raised a rustic seatshe used to kneel beside that simplememento, and pray fervently, nor ili.ishe ever suiao and go on her way with-out feeling strengthened and encouraged.

"Every evening, on her return, herfirst question to Gertrude was, 'Has Ju-an written ?' Aud tho old woman would

silently shako her head with n despair-ing gesture, which seemed to imply, 'Ju-an will never write to us again !'

"One day as Marguerite was. return-ing from LJagnercs, she was overtakenby a violent thunder storm. Thero wasuo place of refugo nearer than her owncottage; and with her garments drip-ping, aud her eyes nearly blinded by thedriving lain, she hastened towards it.—What did sho see 'i A blazing, lightning-stricken pile, surrounded by a ter-rified crowd of villagers.

" 'Mother! cried Marguerite, dartingonwards, 'where aro you V

"A cry of agony fi'Otu within tho burn-ing cottage was the reply.

" 'Mother, courage ! I'll savo, or diewith you !' And before the astoundedspectators could detain her, sho rushedthrough the flames. A minute, whichseemed ao ago of agonizing suspense,elapsed, and Margucrito reappeared,dragging forth her pious burden, andforming with her own body a rampartagainst the flames. Scarcely had sho al-lowed the old woman to fall into someof the arms ready to receive her, whenthe heroic girl sunk down, herself, iuani-mate.

"When she opened her eyes," coniiu-uod the curate, "she was in an apart-ment in my house, whither I had causedher to be carried. Gertrude and I hadwatched for three days and three nightsby her bad, awaiting the moment of re-turning consciousness. Her first eecsa-tiou was that of torturing pain iu herface. She raised her hand to it, andfelt that it was so enveloped iu bandagesas to leave only the mouth and eyes free.A cry escaped her lips. 'Oh, I remem-ber the storm,—tho flames ; I am dis-figured for life,—is it not so ?'

"Gertrude mid I were silent. It wasbut too tiue ; the devouring element,leaving her body, protected by her wetclolhes, untouched, had seized on herface. The beauty of feature and delica-cy of complexion, which had procured!or her her graceful sobriquet, was total-ly destroyed.

"Until tho bandages were removed,which the surgeon did not as yet judgeit prudent to do, he could not tell theextent of the disfigurement, but that itwould be very great was certain. Oursilenro, and tho tears which wo couldnot repress, acquainted tho poor childwith her misfortune. She raised hereyes to heaven with a touching express-sion of resignation. 'It is Thy will, myGod,' eha said, 'but let not Juan see methus.'

" ' Juan! ' repeated Gertrude; 'weshall soon embrace him.'

" 'Is he coming ?'" ' In ten days,—see yourself.' She

handed a letter to Marguerite, which thelatter read with cagernsss. I t was writ-ten by the hand of one of his comrades,and informed them that Juan, who hadreceived a severe wound at the seigo ofZaatcha, was BOW convalescent in Uu-spi-tal; had oblained, as a reward for hisservices, a cros3 of merit, his discharge,and pension, and would bo with thorn inteu or twelve davs at the furthest.

"Having finished reading tho letter,Marguerite fell into a profound reverie,from which neither Gertrude's fend ca-resses nor my attempts at consolationcould arouse her. 'Oh, sir,' said she, atlast, 'it is not, indeed it is not for hisown sake that I value beauty, but howan Juan love me when ho sees me in

this state ?' At that momcut tho sur-geon entered, anil having folt his patient'spulse, he began silently to remove thobandages. As soon as Marguerite feltthat hor wounds were exposed, she ftk-cd for a mirror.

" 'Not yet my child ; not to day,' saidthe doctor. She tried to raise her handsto feel her face. 'Hold her arms down,'cried tho surgeon to the old woman audmyself. We did so, involuntarily turn-ing away our eyes from tho sight of thoseswolleu and mutilated features, once solovely.

"Nine days pnssed on; the woundswere regularly dressed, and were nownearly cicatrized. The tenth day wasthat of Juau 'a expected return ; but noone ventured to speak of it. Early inthe morning, Marguerite rose, and pre-pared to go out, sayiug that a walk inthe fresh air would do her good. I offer-ed to accompany her.

" :No, thank you sir,' sho said ; 'mygood mother alone will come with me.'And with one hand slightly leaning onGertrude's arm, while the other held asmall package, she went out. Theywalked towards Juan's rustic seat, butvery slowly, for the convalescent was yetvery weak.

"Arrived there she knelt down, and,after a short, silent prayer, she turnedto Gertrude, and embracing her, said,—Uless your daughter, dear mother, for

tbe last time: you will never eco heragain.'

" 'What do you mean, my child V" 'The truth. I am going away. You

will say good by for mo to him mother ;and tell him that it is my very love forhim that forces me to fty '

" 'But dear one,' said Gertrudo, de-taining her, 'you wrong our Juau ; hehas a noble heart, and ho will love youall the better for these noble scars, whenhe hears that it was in saving mo froma dreadful death you received them.'

" 'He has a noble heart,' replied triegirl ; 'and I know that ho would marryme, and try to make mo happy; buthow could I endure his averted looks,—his sorrow ! No, no ; I shall Buffer muchl3ss in suffering alone.'

"Just then a well-known bark washeard, and [a largo whito dog rushedout of tho woody path. 'Cccsar !' criedGertrudo. 'Where is your master?'

" ' Here he is,' replied an agitatedvoice; and holding ono ond of a cord, ofwhich the other was fastened to Cresar'scollar, a soldier appeared. 'Mother !are you hore ? Whero is Marguerite ''.Why don't you come and embrace jourpoor blind wanderer ?'

" 'Blind ! exclaimed Marguerite ; andfixing her eyes on her betrothed, s-hesaw that his were covered with a band-age. I cannot describe the emotions ofail three; suffice it to say, that aftor anincredible number of embraces, Gertrudeaud her two children returned to myHOthM, and wo pivsscd a delightful evou-ing."

Here tho curate stopped, and I thoughthis tale was ended.

"Well," I said, "I suppose the blindwarrior aud his betrothed,—still, iu his

imagination, blooming in all her youth-ful charms,—were speedily united ?"

"They were," he replied. "It was Iwho married them ; but I have some-what more to toll you of them. Theircottage, by the willing aid of the villa-gers, was soon rebuilt, aud they removedinto it. Their circumstances were verycomfortable, and Juan supported his in-firmity.—caused, ho told me, by tho ex-plosion of a mine,—with the utmostcheerfulness. His tenderness for hiswife Beemed to increase every day ; andyet sho was evidently not happy. Shebecame a prey to constant melancholy,and her health and strength visibly de-clined. Her old friend, the doctor, visit-ed and prescribed for her, but withoutavail.

" 'My art is at fault,' he said to me.'tier body suffers, but the seat of thodisease is her mind. Do you try to die.over what the secret is which weighs

on her, may bo, or I canoot answer furher life.'

"Alns ! how could 1 apply tho conso-lation of religion to a case of which thosufferer persisted in keeping me pro-foundly ignorant V Once sho seemed ontbe point of openiog her mind, but J ua:ientered tho room, and she was silent;nor could I ever afterwards induce herto speak freely. Meantime her bodilycondition became very precarious; andJuan, who was now awaroof her danger,scarcely ever stirred from her side. OldGertrude, as you may suppose, wasscarcely less anxious about her.

"One evening, when I was in the cottage, the doctor arrived ; and having examined his patient, pronounced that un-less some powerful reaction took pi siceshe could not long survive. How solemnwere tho moments that succeeded thisannouncement.' Poor Juau grasped con-vulsively the baud of his wifi.', whilelarge tears streamed from beneath hisbandage.

"I began to exhort her on the subjectof religion ; and when I spoke of themercy of her Maker, she exclaimed,—.'Oli, I have great need of mercy, for myconscience is burdened with a heavyload. Listen,' sho continued, address-ing us all, 'and tell me whethor I canhope for forgiveness.'

"Grouped around her bed, we waitedin silent astonishment. Marguerite hadraised herself into a sitting posture ; herwasted arms, her disordered hair, her•unkon features, her hollow eyes, gleam-ng with a light liko that of a lamp kind-ing up before it is extinguished foraver,cut an air of iudescribablo solemnity to

the scene. Placing her hand in herimsband's, sho said,—'Juan, you remem-ber, when we separated, the promisewhich wo made of mutual fidelity ? Myiioart was yours, and yours was mine,Well, the terror of losing that heartaused mo to commit a grievous sin. I

pictured you lo myself with shocked,averted looks, at the first sight of herwho was once named tWe Pearl; and inthe agony, the delirium of the moment,I cried to Heaven: "Oh, God! eithergive mo back my beauty, or take fromhim his eyesight!" Tho tnomor.t theselfish impious prayer was uttered, Ibitterly repented, and would fain havenever known since one moment's happi-ness.'

" What !' cried her husband, 'and isthis the secret, Marguerite, which is kill-og you ?'

""'It is.'" 'Then live, dearest, and be happy ;

your prayer was«o< answered.'"And tearing off the bandage which

covered his eyes, he fell on his wife'sbosom, and clasped her iu a long embrace.

"I t appeared that the blindness whichhad fallen on Juan was of only a tempo-rary nature. Under the skilful treatmentofourfiiend the surgeou, whom he pri-vately consulted, the power of visionbegan slowly, but surely, to return.Having, however, heard from his grand-mother the whole history of Marguerite'shorror at the idoa of his beholding herdisfigured face, ho generously detormiu-ed to conceal from her his cure, at leastfor a time. Now, however, it was sud-denly revealed ; aud was it too late ? Thodoctor, motioning us all away from thebed, took his patient's hand, and felt herpulse ; a hopeful smilo played on his be-nevolent lips

The curate advanced. "Good-morn-ing, Marguerite," he said.

An Apothecary bothered.The English actor Macready wrote a

very illegible hand, espocially in hisorders of admission to the theater. AtNew Orleans an incident happenedwhich recalls tho note of dismissalwritten by Horace Greeley to ono of thoTribune compositors, and which said com-positor used as a recommendation, andon tho strength of it got a good situationin another cflice !

Uue day Mr. Brougham obtained fromMacready an order of admission for afriend. Ou handing it to the gentlemantho latter observed that, if ho had notknown what it purported to be, he neverwould have suspected vrhat it was. "Itlooks more liko a prescription than any-thing else," he added.

"So it does," said Mr. Brougham ;"let us go and have it made up."

Turning into the nearest drug-store,the paper was handed to the clerk, whogave it a careless glauco and then pro-ceeded to get a vial ready and pull outdivers boxen. With another look atthe order, down came a tincture bottle,aud tho vial was halt filled. Then therewas a pause. The gentlemanly attendantwas evidently puzzled.

From the Omaha Republican, Jan. 7/The PaciOc Railroad.

During tho construction of the Union'Pacific railroad, local freight aud pas-sec ger rates were fixed at high figures—so high as to induco a very generalbeliief that having no competition for thacarrying trade across the continent, theroads, when completed, would exact thelast cent which tho public could stand—in short, that tho through line fromtho Missouri river to the Pacifio wouldbe a monopoly—rigorous and merciless"in its exactions—aud that the chief ben*efit which it was destined to coufer up-on the country was a more speedy meansof transit across the continent.

Such were tho very general predic-tions of tho newspaper press, and np^peals were snado to congress to compel'the corporation to reduce its tariff. No-action was taken, however, in this diree'tion. A voluntary reduction of 25 percent, on pafsengor nnd freight rates pro-duced very general satisfaction. Tiiiaoccurred before tho roads wero complet-ed. On the 14th cf Juno the firstthrough rates were agreed upon by thaUnion and Central Pacific railroads be-tween Omaha and Sau Francisco, for1

first class travel. Tha rate fixed at thattime, with tha subsequent reductions a ithe times named below, will be seen byan examination of the following tablo :;

It will bo seen from the nfcove thafi1-within the past sis and a half months,-first-cliis3 pas enger rates between Oma-ha and San Francisco have been reduced'by tho voluntary action of ihe two com-panies from §i;;3 35 to $100.

During tho same period local ratesfor passengers havo been reduced about35 per cent., and the local freight tariffhas been reduced 40 per cent., while thethrough freight tariff has boeu reduced!'56 per cent.

On the 1st day of January, 1870, thethrough rate for a first class passvane'fbetween New York and San Francisco"was reduced from 8154 05 to §140—asecond-class rate waa established betweentho Bame points at $110, and an emi-grant rate fixed at the extremely low-prico cf 500. Tho distance between1

New York and San Ir'rancisuo is, inround numbers, 3,500 miles ; tho emi-grant rate is therefore only \% centsper mile, which is below that of anyother railway line in the United States.

The first class fare ($140 through) isjust four cents per milo from New Yorkto San Francisco, and in dividing thisfare the Pacifio railroad reduces with allthe other roads which form the throughline.

Another important faet should be-overlookod, viz: All of theso feduc-"tons in through rates have been the re-sult of the urgent solicitations of the of-ficers of the Union Pacific railroad, whohave uniformly been ihe pioneers in er-ery movement which has resulttd in a'reduction of freight and passenger ratesoy rail between the two oceans.

THE liSIVEUSITY—TUE WOIUH QIESTION.

MH. EDITOR :

Oue, at least, of your readers has beenmuch gratUted by your article, in yourssu« of the 14lii. tost., on the recent ac-

tion oi the Kcgauts of the Univur.sity onthe question of the admission of females.L'niU-r'it* pleasantries, there Is a very justdacision on this action as affecting the fu-ture of the University. While now thereIUU-J bo H.'.v to feel the justice of yoat com-ments, when the downfall of the Universitywhich this and other action of the Boardof Regnots too surely promotes, has so ad-vanced that it is evident to all, you andami your thoughts will be In many mindsand mouths.

We could wisb that, the Hon. JJoard ofRegents had been more explicit, and metthe question before them fairly and square-ly. Their resolution looks too much likeiloing the deed with an unwillinsuuss thatmade it unpleasant to name it. However,the meaning and inteutioa ane evidentAnd your correspondent onn not agree withyou, that " the University is not likely tobe overrun by women." While only here

d there a modest girl—a true woman—may be urged by an ambitious parent todaily f!y;e a large body of young men ; theincreasing rauks of " women of the age"—girls who are restless under the naturaland divine law of womatihood, who pantior notoriety ; will furnish scores of candi-dates for the departments.

Neither can we agree with the actingPresident, that protection against suchnumbers us will)essentially alter the posi-tion and character of the Institution maybe secured by " keeping up the standard toits present grade." Passing by the fact,which all will appreciate, that the rejectionof a lady applicant will be rather hazard-ous—does " the st^ulnrd at its presentgrade," prevent the admission of memberswho, whether qualified or not, " leave theUniversity without taking any degree?"Tho Freshman Class entered in '07,104; asSophmores their number was GS. Whatshall prevent similar dropping off in thefemale rants? The last Catalogue putsthe number In selected studies, 74. We aretold by authority, that " women often wantto pursue special courses of study." "Willtheir names then be wanting ou this leastagreeable list?

There is one particular which even yourprophetic or imaginative pen has failed toput on record, viz : the natural, even neces-sary result of female students, female. Pro-fessors. Why not? Indeed as we carefullyread Mr. Regent Wn.LAUD'S resolution, weare quite inclined to think that it fully covers this ground, TIIMI that witliout furtheraction the Honorable Board may proceedat their next meeting to elect Mrs. or MissSomebody, President. " The Board of Re-gents recognize the right of every residentof Michigan to the enjoyment of the priv-ileges afforded by the University." Nowif it be a " privilege " to sit on the bench ofthe class room, why not to sit iu the Pro-fessor's Chair." But whether this be 30 ornot, sooner or later'this will come. Pre-pare, Honorable-Kegents and reverend Pro-fessors, to mount the platform ou Com-mencement Day with female Professors inyour train—perhaps Anna Dickinson, Pro-fessor of M,oral and Intellectual Philoso-phy ; Olive Logaiiy Pvofessoi; of Rhetoric;Mrs. Stanton, Marshall, Kent or Jay Pro-fessor of Law; Kate Field, Assistant Pro"fessor of Mathematics; Mrs. Dr. "Walker,the able member of the Medical Faculty.

There is one circumstance that shoulduot be ovorlooked In this movement. Wtihave seen a- circular In a Detroit paper,calling a Convention at Battle Creek in fa-vor of woman suffrage, signed by five Pro"fessors of the University, and giving thename of the Professor of Intellectual andMoral Philosophy as one of the speakers.It is clear, then, that the Institution is inno slight degree committed to the so-called•' Woman's Rights Movement." Wo .j-.ustput this with the action of the Regents, audwe ask not merely the Board of Regents,nor the Faculty, but the citizens of Michi-gan, to whom this University belongs; isthis noble Institution to be the Held for ex-perimenting with these vagaries and theo-ries of the day ? Will you sutler the I'mversity, of wii«h you have been so justlyprbuil, which has made a name for theState nobler even than the strength of hersoil and the wealth of her mines; to bescattered and peeled at tiie whim of a cotcrie of ultraists and dreamers who havecast off the guidance of reason and relig-ion? We respect, personally, tho Profes-sors who have signed this call, wa must betold by themselves before, ivc will believe it,that Uiey adopt as a whole the theories ofthose In whose fellowship they have, potthemselves; but nevertheless we can notretract what has been said, that the Univer-sity stands to-day committed to theoriesthat disgrace civilization.

We can only write sadly on this subject.The State Universities of the west havegenerally not been, to say the least, vcor

successful. Michigan University has beenthe exception. And now the time of heroverthrow approaches. Today she takesher place with the so-called Colleges whichare merely High Schools. We have no1 lo dwith pain the decline in the numbers of herstudents, and the withdrawal from theirchairs of men of )iote in their speciality,—but the grand blow has been struck iu thepassage of a resolution that bear, the en-dorsement of seven of her eight Regents.

Demon has a Manufacturers' Asso-ciation, which Association is just nowengaged iu instructing Congress. At arecent meeting one MOSRS W. FIELD is

reported as having olloretl a series ofresolutions declaring "greenbacks thoonly true, proper, nud safe currency, andthat more greenbacks Bhould be issuedto pay the interest of tho publio debtaud other specified indebtedness," whichwero adopted, and ou motion of thesame FIELD ordered sent to Congress.Then FIELD offered another resolution,donouncing Commissioner VVI;LI.S as a

frco trader, dumundiug his removal andthe appointment of tbat relict of a darkage, HENRY C. CAUV, as his successor,

which was also, adopted, and on saidFIELD'S motion ordered sent to the Pres-ident. Tho President, E. li. WARD, of

whom some of our readers have heard,pronounced it next to "treason" inWELLS to recommend a reduction of the

duty on pig-iron. We believo thatWARD is engaged in that branch of thepo^k lra<lo, and as his income don't excced S10(/,0O0a year, il would be cruel tocut it down any by permitting the farmere, mechanics, builders, etc, whosepockets are gsrged with greenbacks, tobuy cheaper iron th&qi he is willing tomake. It is "treason" to suggest thatths consumers should not bo taxed toput "money in his purso." We hopethat FIKLD, WARD & Co. will keep on

resolving and speaking, and that theywill not say their say iu private.

— What a pity this "great and gelo-riouB government"' couldn't te made 1mere tender to FIELD, WARD & Co.

and other manufacturers ! I t is almosthat now—but "whole hog or nothing'is the tvord.

TIIK Chicago Tunes has the follow-ing : "The Legislature of Ohio has re-pealed the act of the preceding Legislature, whioh repealed the act of its legi-lativo predecessor ratifying the proposed Fifteenth amendment." In whiclthe Times errs. Thfi last LegislatureOhio repealed the i;atifjcation of theJilTth amendment and not the XVthIt received for consideration and actionthe XVth amendment, and rejected it

— The repeal places Ohio on a pawith New York. If tho Radicals inCongress recognize the right of Ohio trepeal, can it deny the right of NewYork to do tho same ? I t will availnothing to say that the latter ratifiedand the former rejected. If action isfinal in one case it (mist be in the other.

WniN the Virginia bill was pendingin the Senate some days ago, an over-zealous Kadical member, wishing toguard .agaiost backsliding either fromgrace or Kidical domination, seriouslyproposed an amendment prohibiting hot-Legislature even attempting to rescindtho ratification of the XIYth and XVthamendments, etc., ou pain of beingkicked out of the Union. Senator THUR-HAN, of Ohio, exposed the absurdity ofthe proposition., by moving that NewYork, New Jersey, nnd Ohio be expelledfor dari,ng to withdraw their assent tothe ratification, the former of the XVth.and tho latter two of the XlVth amend-ment.

THE foolish and insaue strike of thetelegruph operators has ended, the Pro-leetivo League has come to grief, andthe strikers who can get their old situa-tions have gone hack to woik, wiser ifnot richer men. It is about time thatLeagues and Unions throw up their ab-surd claims. Any number of mechan-ics ha?e an undoubted right to organizeinto a society for mutual aid, and to fixprices and salaries for their l;ibo;, butthey have no right to say that employ-ers shall not pay less, that operativeswho see fit shall not work for less, or todictate the number of apprentices, or thenumber of hours mills, factories andshops shall be run, etc. Capital has yetsomo rights and should at least be heard.

— Off the same piece is the demandnow being made upon Congress and Leg-islatures to declare eight hours a days'work, and to compel the payment of thesame wascs as for ten hours' work. Itis allowing one party to dictate termsand close the bargain, aud in plain termsis the robbery of the other party. Theless the law regulates such details thebetter, except to insure employes of allkinds prompt payment of wages for ser-vices mutually agreed upou with theiremployers.

A LATE cablo dispatch credits theLondon Times with thinking that "thepresence of the French troops may en-courage the Pope to insist on infallibility, notwithstanding the reluctance of theCouncil." Tbc Pope has evidently, ifthe Times thinks correctly, learned n les-son from the lladieal Oongress, which,holding itself infallible, orders unwillingStates to ratify or register its decrees,and uses the troops to enforco obedi-ence. Military Governors and militaryrule or the XlVth and XVth amend-ments, to which must be added the eloc-tion of full-blooded carpet-bag radicalLegislatures.

H.RICHMOND, agent of the Company,attended a public meeting at Byron, onSaturday preceding the election, and re-ports the excitement up to fever heat. Thevote ,on Monday stood, yes, 265 ; no, 60.

The township of York, in this County,is to vote on the 2!)th inst., Saturday ofnext week, on a proposition to aid the sameroad in the sum of $25,000. We have notgeen the call, jaml can not say what condi-tions are made other thau the usual ones, ifany.

— In an other column will be found acall for a special aid election to be heldIn Northfleld, Saturday, £ ebuary 12th. Theproposition to be voted upon gives aid inthe sum of $15,000, with a condition thatn depot be established at Whltmorc Lake.

— A large ani enthusiastic meeting washeld at East Sag! Daw, on the evening of the11th inst-, in the interest of the East Sagi-naw and Ann Arbor road—the CorminaJinc. A " fitting rebuke " was administeredto the Enterprise for giving the cold shoulder,»nd the pledge of a former meeting to aidthe company to the full extent promised atUs organization. Considerable aid has al-rtady been voted, the survey of tlje line hastjecn completed to Chesaning, and is pro-gressing southward.

The Detroit 1'ree Prest is just now(he recipient of all sorts of good words(Tom the press of the State, both Radicaland Democratic. It is commended for itsfine mechanical and typographic appearance, its newsy columns, and, especially,|for the courtesy with which it treats its"Country Cousins,"—as well as for its•taunch Democracy. It is nil t/u^l, and we ]are clad that it is so generally apprecia-ted.

— One singular feature : It get.s the bestpuffs from the "ring" of Democratic editorswhich a little over a year ago stood readyto rival the Radical press in giving it "par-W,cular J.esse," because it declined to joinJu a crusade against the Democratic StateCommittee or go in for a premature Stale£onTentlo,u. We are more than pleasedthat the "little onpleasantnic^" left nothorns in the flesh.

We invito a careful reading of thecommunication in another column touchingthe action of the Regents opening the Uni-versity to women. The writer is no sensa-*lonist, but a gentleman whose opinions arefcntitlcd to consideration. It will be seenthat |ic connects the action of the Regentswith the entrance of certain Professors intothe general Woman's Rights crusade, andfrom the association augurs no good to theJJnivcrsity. Those who have read the pro-ceedings of recent Suffrage Conventions,and have noted the bitterness manifestedagainst the marriage relation by the lead-ers, will, perhaps unwillingly, believe thatour correspondent is more than half right.

THE TOLEDO, A,\S AUBOR AXD SOUTHER.1*RAILROAD.

MR. EDITOR:—Permit me to address a few words to the

friends of the Toledo, Ann Arbor andNorthern Railroad Company. By the artlcleij of association the termini of the roadare at the State line, near Toledo, andOwQMO, running through the counties ofMonroe, Washtenaw, Livingston, andShte-wassec. There is no road in Michigan passing through a better section of country orthat will better support a road by throughand way business. It, affords direct com-munication to the lumber and salt, and toa grain market second only to Chicago Inthe west. It crosses the Michigan Centraland Detroit and Milwaukee Railroads, nowdoing business which this road would do,aithough this road will do a large amountu addition. Illb great leading lines of

roads having been bnilt, all roads nowjuilding are aided by government land{rants or subsidies,or local ami munclpal

aid. Some object to giving or voting aidto companies, but, nevertheless, It must beioue or we do not get the road. The friendsof the road do not conceal the fact thathere is much work to be done and many

jbstacles to be removed, which will requirehe zealous, united, and persistent efforts of

the people along the line of road.This road will be to a certain extent an

agonistic to the Central and Milwaukeeroods. Now I am free to admit that theCentral road Is as well managed, and their

dealings with the people as honorable asany other company ; but I expect and knowhat they oppose it in every way possible,.nd I don't blame them for so doing. It isigainst their interest and it is their duty toprotect their interests as far as possible;jut this is no good reason why the friendsf the road should be misled and diverted

rom their true and only course to get theoad. It is a very natural, and one of theirnost subtle means to defeat, to get up rivalines leading from and to the S'une points,hereby defeating the voting ot nid In theowns along the line of road. This will behe great effort. Now, any sensible personno.vs there will not be more than one ad-itional road built between Toledo andugluaw. This road crosses the Centrallidway between Detroit and Jackson,hence north to Owosso. Is there any con-mplated north nnd south road that can

uccessfully compete with this ? I thinkliere is none. Disregard the efforts of those

vho wish to defeat the road, and go toork in earnest and vote the necessarymount of a:d without useless conditions,

or these conditions are another meansised by the enemies of the road to defeat

Some say tn officers do not work, haveot bought i. y tics, and have not obtainedny right o wiy. Perhaps such personsill volunttcr to get the right of way be-

ore the row s located. It will have theppcarance ot work. The Directors do notltend to squander the money intrusted to!iem to make a show of work without anyenellt. If the country through which theDad passed ivas an unimproved wilderness,lie owners being anxious for a road mightive a general right of way through theirands ; but in an improved country, likelis, the case is different. I don't believelere are ten improved farms on the line oflis road, through which the road will pass,lat would give a general right of way toin any-wherc and everywhere throughicir farms. Therefore the 3rst thing is tocate the road by a working survey, and

ien .we are prepared to jjet the rigl't ofay, as much of it free as possible, and

escribe it in the deeds. The true order olroceedin; is this: 1st. Work up aid sufli-ent to bed the road. 2d. Locate the road.

1. Get right of way. 4. Find the Compauyhat will iron the road or guarantee ouronds. The last three may be worked to-cther, but first of all get the requisitemount of aid.

The first stanza will show what she wasweeping for :

"Tho river glcnmcd with silvery crest,Tho waves were passing by ;

The full red sun hart Blink to rest,Renenth the azure Bky,

'Twns there lovea lips were pressed to mluoAs oft in days gone by;

But he hns left me here tn pine.Left me to droop ami die."

Ir THE Springfield (Mass.) Republi-can does the Oueida Communists any-thing liko justice, the Rev. FROTHING-HAM may havo derived from them hisdoctrine of "affinity;" the Rev. IBEECII-

EB liis ' liberal" practices in the mar-riage line ; and the TILTON his easy di-vorce and free-love notions." I t says:"Among the nrticles of tho creed thatlegitimately follow from tlio fundament-al belief (all tliiugs in common, sociallyaod financially) are, that shame is sin;holiness comes first and then free love;tho abolition of marriage and the sub-stitution of Communism is n Christianduty, and so on."

THE storm of Monday morning lastwas terrible in Southern Ohio aDd Ken-tucky. At C>»ve City, Ky., about fiftyhouses were destroyed by wind and liail,and a nutubsr of lives lost. Great injurywas done at Louisville and Cincinnati,to buildings, railroads and bridges. TheOhio rose ten feet in twenty-four hours.

Lamentable Condition of Madrid.A correspondent of the London Times

says :"From various sources lamentable ac-

counts rtacli ins of ihe present state ofthings in Madrid—great misery andmuch vice, starvation among the poorerclasses, want of work, trade at a stand-still, the necessaries of life exorbitantlydear, a gambling fever rife -.moiig tho.-eclasses of tho population that have any-thing left to stake. Meanwhile, Gen.Prim ha« taken the Repent nnd BOID« oftho Ministers on a shooting excursion tohis fastness iu tho mountains of Toledo.lie possesses a sort of feudal fortressthere, with extensive limiting grounds1,when1 be entertains his friends in prince-ly style. We hear marvels of tho goodcheer prepared and of tho incrodibloBami, per diem, fur which Lhardy, theFrench cook of Madrid, celebrnted forthe exorbitant length of his bills, hasundertaken to supply creature comfortsto the guests and iheir retinue. Somefifty persons aro said to have been in-vited, including the French Ambassador.The difficulties of locomotion aro con-siderable, lor 1 lie Chateau Prim is situa-ted in a very uphil l ' country, severalleagues from Toledo, wh.ich itself is aplnce poor in everything except antiquities and tho picturesque, so thatvehicles have to bo tent by rail fromMadrid to convey the guests on theirup-hill journey.

Doubtless the hero of Castillejos willdo the honors well, nnd the eighi day'ssporting and banqueting will add to hisalready well established reputation forpplendor and hospitality ; but it maybe questioned whether all this luxuryaud lavish expenditure will produce agood effect among the hungry multitudein Madrid.

The Catholics and (he Schools.New York, January 1G.

The Roman Catholic view of the pub-lic Pthoiil question was stated before alarge audience in the hall of the CooperInstitute on Sunday evening, by RevThomas S. Preston, pastor of St. Ann'sChurch. Many Protestants were pres-ent in the audience and on the platform.Mr. Preston claims that the Catholic re-ligion requires sectarian schools for theyoung of the church and, while Catho-lics do not desire to interfere with thepresent common sohool system, they askan allowance from the school fund pro-portionate to the number of childrenthey educate for the purpose of estab-lishing separate schools.

An E\j)re?s War Threatened.There is a prospect of a lively fight

between the express companies. TheAdams Company claims tlie ritrlit torun from Pittsbnrg lo Chicago by rea-son of its contract with the Pennsylva-nia Central Railroad. This road hasleased the Pittsborg, Fort Wayne *c Chi-cago Ivoad and the Adams people insistthat their privilege to run over thePennsylvania Central extends to its leased lines. In case the Adams attemptsit, the American will proceed to establishoffices between New York and Boston,and run upon the routes Eiist .as anequivalent to the Pittsburg and Chicago. Tlie representatives of the Ameri-can Company say that tho threatenedaction of the Adams people will violatethe arrangement that has bfien in forcefor twenty-five years.

such as Coughs, Colds, 'WhoopingCough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

and Consumption.ProliaWv never before in the whole history of

medicine, hi*s anything won so widely and sodeeplyupon the confidence of mankind, as tins excellentremedy for pnlXDOnary complaints. Through a loneseries of years, and among most of Hie races ofmen it has risen higher and higher in their estima-tion, as it hiUi become better known. Its uniformcharacter and power to cure the various affectionsof the liiii^s and throat, have made it known as a roliable protector against them. While adapted tomilder forms of disease and to young children, it isat the same time the most effectual remedy that canlie given for incipient consumption, and the dan-gcrous affections of tlie throat and lungs. A3 a pro-vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it shouldbe kept on hand in every family, and indeed as allare sometimes subject to colds and coughs, allshould bo provided with, this antidote for them.

Although settled Consumption is thought in.curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis-ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,and the patient restored to sound health by theCherry Pectoral. So complete is its masteryover the disorders of tlio Lungs and TUroat, thatthe most obstinate of them yield to it. W hen noth-ing else could reach them, under tha Cherry 1'cc-toral they subside and disappear.

Siiijfrs out! 1'ublic Speakers find great pro-tection from it.

Asthma ia always relieved and often whollycured by it.

llronehllts is generally cured by taking theCherry l'eetoral in small nnd frequent doses.

So generally are its virtues known that we neednot publish Hie certillcatcs of them here, or do morethan assure the public that its qualities are fullymaintained.

Ayer's Ague Cure,For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,

Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, DumbAgue, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c,and indeed all the affections which arisefrom malarious, marsh, or miasmatiopoisons.As its name implies, It does Cure, and flops not

fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,Zmr, nor any other mineral or poisonous .substancewhatever, it in nowise Injures any patient. Thenumber and importance ot its cures in the ague dis-tricts, arc literallv beyond account, and we believewithout a parallel in the history of Ague medicine.Our pride is gratified by tho acknowledgments wereceive of the radical euros effected in obstinatecases, andrWhere other remedies had wholly failed.

I'nacelimated persons, either resident in, ortravelling through miasmatic, localities, will be pro-tected by taking tho. AOVB CVBK daily.

For lAvcr Complaints, arising from torpidityof the Elver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulatingtho Livor into he-allhy activity.

For Rilious Disorders and I.iycr Complaints, it isan excellent remedy, producing many truly re-markable cures, where other medicines had failed.

Hints From the London Hfene Book.1. All horses must not be fed iu the

name proportions, without duo regard totheir ages, their constitutions and theirwork. Because the impropriety of sucha practice is self evident. Yet it is con-stantly done, and is the b»si8 of diseaseof every kind.

2. Never use bad hay on account ojits cheapness. Because there is notproper nourishment in it.

3. Damaged corn is exceedingly in-jurious. Because it brings on inflamma-tion of the bowels and skin disease.

4. Chaff is better for old horses thankay. Because they can chew and digestit better.

5. Mix ohaff wi'h corn or beans, anddo not give the latter alone. Becauseit makes the horse chew bis food more,and digest it better.

6. Hay or grass alone will not sup-port a horse under hard work. Becausethere ia not sufficient nutritive body ineither.

7. When a boree is worked bard itsfood should be chiefly oats, if not work-ed hard, its food should be chiefly hay.Because oats supply more nourishmentand flesh-making material than anyother kind of food. Hay not so much.

5. For a saddle or ooaoh horse, half apeek of good sound oats atnd' eighteenpounds of good hay are sufficient. Ifthe hay is not good, add a quarter of apeck more oats. A horse which workshard may have rather more of each ; onethat works little should have less.

9. Had; feeding is wasteful. Thebetter plan ia to feed with chopped hayfrom a manger. Because tho food isnot then thrown about, and is moreeasily chewed and digested.-

10. Sprinkle the hay with water thatlias snlt dissolved in it. Beoause it ispleasing to the animal's taste, and moreeasily digested. [A teaspoonful of saltin a bucket of water is sufficient.]

11. Oats should be bruised for an oldhorse, but not for a young one. Becausethe former, through old ago and defec-tive teeth, cannot chew them properly ;the young horse can do so, and they arethus properly mixed with the saliva, andturned into wholesome nutriment.

12. Grass must always be cut for haybefore tho seed drops. Because thejuices that ripen the seeds are the mostvaluable part-of the hay. If they aresucked out by ripening and dropping,the grass will not turn into hay, butwill only wither and grow yellow.

13. Vetches and cut grass should al-ways bo given in the spring to horsesthat cannot be turned out into thefields. Because they are very coolingand refreshing and alrnost medicinal intheir effects; but they must be suppliedin moderation, as they are liable to fer-ment in the stomach if given largely.

14. Water your horse from a pond orstream rather than from a spring or well.Becauiie the latter is generally hard andaold wli\le the former is soft and com-paratively warm. The horse preferssoft muddy water to hard water, thoughever so clear.

~ - «O ' I i — r i i • —

Bathing Iler-cs.A correspondent of the London Field

Bays he washes sweated horses iu coldwater with beneficial results, both insummer and in winter. After washing,the animal should be rubbed dry. as farns practicable, and the legs especially.Should the hair on them be too long toadmit of this being sufficiently done,flanuel bandages should be put on, and awoolen rug thrown loosely over, butwithout the roller. In the courso of anhiour the horse will be tolerably dry, andshould then have another rub down, andb8 clothed in tho ordinary manner. Ifhorses were treated in a more ra'ionalnmeaei' than is often the case, wi.h pureair u»d scrupulous eleanlinu.-.i, disease•wouldibe far less common.

Wiiat is more refreshing to a man af-ter, x hard day's shooting, or other labon-oua-exereise. than a warm or cold bath ?And I believe it to be equally so to thehorse. To the tired hunter, a warm footbath and fomentation, if the animal issufficiently quiet, is most refreshing.Some years ago I visited the royalstables.at Buckingham Palace. There,a* I was tuformeil—and at the time my-self witnessed tho operation—everyhorse, summer and winter, was washedftoiu.head to foot with cold water, afterreturning from work, no matter wheth-er.it had been out ouo hour or six. Af-ter the ablution, scruping, scrubbing,etc., a kind of web cloth was thrownover .to admit of evuporation, and thehbrso was afterward rubbed down andclothed as usual in the course of an houror..two. I consider the plan rational•ml conducive to the health of the horse,if only ordinary care is taken.

THE TRADB IN CASHED FKUITS.—Tt isstated that 2,400,000 cans of sweet coruhave been put up in Maine the past sea-son. There have been canned in NewYork city and vicinity this year 1,440,-U00 cans of tonatoes, and 224,000 oausof pine apples. The business of cauniugpeaches is almost wholly done in Balti-more, and the quantity put up the pastseason hag been enormous. In Burling-ton, New Jersey, there are three estab-lishments in which all kinds of fruit,vegetables, pickles, etc., are canned andliouled, giving employment to over 500persons, and about 1,000.000 cans andbottles have been filled during the sea-son. At Bridgeton, New Jersey, there•re threa canning factories, which expectto reaoh 2,000,000 cans for the year.Notwithstanding these large figures, thedemand for these- supplies more thankeeps pnee with the increase of produotion. The stock ol pine apples is saidto be already exhausted, while thestocks of peaches, tomatoes, and corn aremuch reduced. During the heaviestoftnniog season the demand lor ooke tin,for tho manufacture of cans, was so groatthat tho market price was materiallyaffected thereby.

ECONOMY IN SEED PLANTING.—Ex-periments have recently tended to provethat roots and grains, by being plantedmuch farther apart than is usual, wills-ctually yield larger crops than are nowobtained. This has beeu shown to bethe case with potatoes, and more recent-•witb wheat. I t is found that the wheatplant increases above the ground in pro-portion as its roots havo room to dovelop•without interference with those of its'neighbors'. In one experiment, wheatthus treated furnished ears containingover 120 prains. It was found, in thecourse of tho samo experiments, that onwery fully developed coroal platit thereis one ear superior to the rrist; and thateach ear has one grain which, whenplanted, will bo more productive than•ny oilier. By salecting, therefore, thebest grain of the best ear, and continu-ing the experiment through several gen-erations, a point will bo reached beyondwhich further improvement is impossible•nd a fixed and periuanout type remainsa*-the final result.

In tho fruitgrowing counties of Dela-ware the farmers gather up the refuseand unmerchantable peaches and applesand make them into brandy wortb| threedollars a gallom.

A LONKEOME PosT-OFKICE. T h e ITlOStprimitive post office in tha world is tobe found on the eoutbern extremity olAmerica. For somo yoars past a smallbarrel has been fastened by an ironchain to tho outermost rocks of tbomountains over looking tho Straits olMagellan, opposite Terra del Fucgo.It is opened by every ship that passesthrough the Straits, cither to placeletters in it or to take letters from it.The post, office, therefore takes care ofitself, it is? confided to tho protection ofseafarers, and there is no example ofany breach of this trust having occurred.Each ship undertakes the voluntary trans-mission of the barrel, if their destinationis within tho limits of its voyage.

ONE DROP AT A T I M E — Have youever watched an icicle as it formed ?Havo you not noticed how it froze on, adrop at a time, until it was a foot longor more ? If t!ie water was clean, thenthe icicle remained dear, and sparkledbrightly in the sun ; but, if the waterwas but slightly muddy, the icicle look-ed foul and its beanty was spoiled.

Just so our characters are forming.One little thought or feeling at a timeadds its influence. If each thought bepure and right, the soul will bo lovely,and will sparkle with happiness; but, ifimpure and wrong, there will bo finaldeformity and wretchedness.

SEVEN FOOLS.—The angry man whosets his own house on fire in order that

may burn thai of his neighbor. Theenvious man who cannot enjoy life be-caote others do. The murderer, wholor the consideration of a few pounds,ijives tlio world liberty to liang him. Thelypochondriac, whose happiucs consistsn making himself miserable. The jcal

ous man who poisons his own banquet,and then eats of it. The miser, whostarves himself to death that l.is heirsmay feast upon his fortune. The sland-derers, who tell tales for the pake ofjiving their enemies an opportunity to>roTS them liars.

The total amount of iron ore shippedrom Marquctte and Escanaba this sea-

son was 608,392 tons.Susan B. says she 'can havo Susan

Anthony on her tombstone, and not Relictof some fool of a man.1

The difference between a fool and aooking glass is, that one speaks withouteflecting, aud the other reflects without

speaking.Having received a package of public

documents from Washington, the Cluveand Plain Dealer wants to hire someman by the year to go through them andcull out the good jokes.

A colored lady, boas1 ing the otherday of the progress mado by her son inirithmetic, exulting'y said : "He is iuhe mortification table."

It requires a unanimous vrta of aadies' club in Ohio to allow one of the

members to marry. The club is rapidlydecreasing by voluutary resignation ofmembers.

If one wants to commit a wickedness,and hide it so effectually that even Mrs.Beecher Stowe can not scent it out. oreven the recording angel find it at thegreat day, let him bury it iu the Congres-sional Globe. I t will slumber therebeyond the reach of the last trump iu thefinal judgment. — Don Piatt.

Ayer'sHair Vigor,

For restoring Gray Hair toits natural Vitality and Color.

A dressing whichis at once agreeable,healthy, and effectualfor preserving tholiair. Faded or grayhair is soon restoredto iti original colorwith the gloss andfreshness of youth.Thin hair is thick-

ened, falling hair checked, aud bald-ness often, though not always, curedby its use. Nothing can restore thehair where the follicles are destroyed,or the glands atrophied and decayed.But such as remain can be saved forusefulness by this application. Insteadof fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.Its occasional use will prevent the hairfrom turning gray or falling off, andconsequently prevent baldness. Freefrom those deleterious substances whichmake some preparations dangerous andinjurious to the hair, the Vigor canonly benefit but not harm it. If wantedmerely for a

HAIR DRESSING,nothing else can be found so desirable.Containing neither oil nor dye, it docsnot soil white cambric, aud yet lastslong on the hair, giving it a rich glossylustre and a grateful perfume.
