Of all the birds thut awim the air I'd rather bo the swallow; Aud, summer days, nhen days were fair, I'd follow, follow, follow Tho hurrying clouds across the fiky, Aud witli the singing winds I'd fly.

Mr eager wingb would need no rest If I were but swallow; I'd scale the highest mountain crast Aud sound the deepest hollow. No forest could my path-way hide; No ccoaii plaiti should be too wide. I'd find the sources of the Nile, I'd see the Sandwich Islinda, And Cliioiborazo'a granite pile, And Scotland's rugged Highlands; I'd skim the sands of Titnbuctoo; Uuiistamiuople's mosques I'd view. I'tl fly among ttio isles ol The prtdo of great Apollo, And circle round the bay of Nice, If I uere but a swallow, And view the sunny fields of France, Tho vineyards merry with the dance. I'd see my shadow in tho DM SH if tly like an arrow, Aud catch the breath eglantine Along the banks of Yarrow; I'd roam the world and never tiro.

Mr. lerkimcr had gone to mill, a distance of hirty miles, and would not return that light, but was not a place likely to be Dtested i desperadoes, and the wife elt no fear. It was one of tho-e dreamy Indian uramer days, and the children wandered along, slopping occasionally to watch the light of the prairie chickens that started the grass, almost beneath their feet, to gather gum -from the rosin weed, which furnishes that childish luxury so abundantly. The cows had w.mdered further than usual, and they weie at leabt two inilea when they found and turned them home.

"We must huiry, Fiank; it is almost lundown said the little girl, glancing tho winds, and she knew that it would impossible to reach them, and then ride back to the space around the farm, from which the grass lied been burned at favorable seasons. She saw the children falter iu the race, thuu sink upon the ground a half a mile away with the flames rapidly sleeping toward them. She sprang to'the ground, nud in spite of her excitement, she succeeded in lighting a match and setting fire to the grass over which she had passed, and while a sheet of flame swept over, leaving a blackened space iu its track, she had lemounted her horse, and was galloping on again iu a race with the flumes toward her children. She called to them, and at the sound of her voice they rallied their strength and came toward her. "Help Nellie up, then give mo your hand," she said, as bhe dre.v tbe lein beside the little lugitives, and supporting the girl in her arms, while the buy firmly seated behind her, upon the inriu horse who did his duty nobly, she rctrcttted before the advtii'cing flumt'a.

Some hunters passing through the country had fired it several miles from tiie settlement, little thinking of the consequences which might iollow their thoughtlessness.

A breeze was blowing from the west which seemed to increase in strength, sweeping the flames rapidly before it. The rows bellowing frightfully dashed madly the plain, followed by the fear- stricken children, iu ft helpless race with the wind.

AVe have already discoursed on telephone in these columns. The novelty is the phonograph, au iustru- neot of coUs und cranks and springs, nto which i( one sliall speak, his speech and ititonation be so tixed on cop jer foil, that in after times, at the i )f the operator, it will be lepeated with most perfect accuracy, and if wished, a much louder tone. We don't know about this thing--whether it is going to re a blessing or not. Already some jnuchers havctheirdisconiies published several religious papers of different denominations. The lirst thing we know some ambitious pulpit orator will make arrangements to have his sermons repeated all over the land, aud all such churches aa desire to "run on the cheap 1 will readily fall in with the plan, and instead of "hiring a minister" at live hundred dollars a year, will buy a box loaded up with suitable discourses, cart it out to ihe appointed place, attach a battery, lurn a crank, and set it to work dispensing the word of life.

Think of a machine grinding out the mellifluous tones of the Kev. Henry Ward, or the exact repioduction of the high Rod low notes of the Bev. De Witt, ivith all the sibil- lauts and gntterals exactly in place, and all this for two bits a moutli to each devout worshipper, and you will agree with us that this thing ought to be suppressed. Apd then another box can be loaded up with the choicest vocalisms of the moat artistic church choirs, and placed the other end of the church, and at the appropriate time set to evolving the necessary music, and thus all the local talent in the land will be squelched.

Journal. Anecdote of Henry Clay. There were residing at Ashland, the residence of Uenrv Clay, near Lexington, iu 1843 aud" 1844, threa of his grandsons aud myself, attending the classes of Transylvania University.

During the tall of 1841 Nicholas Lougwortb, of" Cincinnati, sent to Mr. Clay a five- gallon demijohn of wine, sealed with ordinary wax aud stamped with the letter tint had the appearance of having been cut Irom a piece of rough woori. Charles, Mr. Clay's favorite aud confidential colored servant, was requested to place the demijohn in a secure place in the cellar. Mr.

Clay gave us tho privilege, after finishing uur class studies tacli night, of going to the cellar for what app'es and cider we v.ished. On one occasion Henry Duralda, one of the mess, piopoacd to uie iusUiad of filling tue pitcher with cider to tap the demijohn of native Ameiicao wine. We did io, and continued to do so night after night, as we preferred it to cMer, until it was empty. A consultation was held, and a unanimous opinion expressed that something had to be done, and that without delay. Wo biought into our confi- iieiice the old Guinea at 11 o'clock at night, aud snow six inches Jetp on the ground, which resulted in his assisting us, in consideration of a quiu t'r of a dollar cash in hanJ, in taking ihe demijohn to town, sorcc tliree miles distant, and for 15 cents a gallon got an old Dutchman, who made a pic- carious living by trading whiskey at I'ight with colored persons, to till up Ihe gallons of the On our return Mneaic'l over some scaling was, aud, having cut a letter from the end ot a broomstick, branded it and placed it ince moreiu the cellar whcreit belonged.

During the fall of 1844, when there vaa evtiy indication that Mr. Clay lould be elected President, he gave a litaier jnuty to Tom Corwiu, Charlie Morehead and many of his friends. As isual, at this dinner, Mr. Clay was pres- nt. sat down to the table at 2 Y.lock, as was customary at that time.

Vttei a iongaud sumptuoui thtch time many wines were discussed, Mr. Clay said: "Gentlemen, I have en ibHiug confidence tho day will soon come when America-will prove to be the couatrv the world; and with your Bermistion I will a sample of the first American vine ever made, fiom my old fiiend Nicholas Longw-rth. Charlie, my boy, can you go clown in the cellar and bring ip Jrom the right hand corner that Jemijohn of wine that came from Mr. jongvvorthi" sir." "Hold, Charie, see here. Now jou do so wHh great care.

Showkl you shake it the very least bit you will spoil it. Now, Charlie, just set it with the gieatest ease on the floor reside me. All! that's right. Now, my good boy, take the corkscrew and extract cork; don't shake it. There, there, it under your arm, easy if you please, and just tip us a little all around.

Now, gentlemen, we will, with your permis- ion, drink standing to the health of our old friend, Nicholas Longworth, the manufacturei of the first native nine ever made in America." As the wine touched heir lips, Mr. Clay looked nt us boys, seated at one corner of the table, and, with that stentorian voicethat was pecut- ar to him when aroused, cried, "Boys!" We slipped from our seats through the side dooi, aud as we entered the cedar out ot Bight heard such a shout Tom his guests as was never heard in old maobiou at Ashland. The Time to Eat. WitKX Mr. Anthony Trollope was a ery young man he applied for advice to a distinguished person and asked how he might best "succeed in literature." The reply was characteristic: "Fix yourself to your chair wnli a bit of cobbler's wax --iu other wort's, "stick to work." The idvicc so given uas earnestly taken.

From that time to this Mr. Trollopu has done his regular quantum of woik daily. His minimum is so many thous'inil words, and no matter where he is--in England or in the antipodes on land or shipboard, in house or tent--the minimum is reached But hird work and uo play would make Anthony ft dull boy, and Mr. Trollope id never dull. His writing is always done before luncheon; Iiis afternoons and evenings arc entirely free.

A spmtsman as well as novelist, ho loves to gallop across country, and greatly enjoys all outdoor sports and indoor games. Curiously enough he can't read novels, nnd prefers the drycst work ou statistics to the fiction of the circulating library. Sir. Trollope does not believe in inspirations, He maintains that the brain is a machine, which can be made to perform its woik systematically, and at ail seasons, provided proper attention is pnid to the bodily heal Mi. San Stctano.

San Stefano, the flattest, ugliest, ami most uninteicsting of country resorts in the neighborhood of Constantinople, has suddenly risen to lame and honor. It has thrown open its best houses to the strangers, and there is a strong rivalry, hospitality, between the rich Greeks and Armenians, who own most of the haudsome villas there. Their empmse- menl to welcome the coming guest must be taken for what it is worth. They do not love the new comers, bat they know which is the winning side, and their sin- ceiity is about on a par with that of the Greek Bishop of publicly hailed the Russians as deliierers, and then privately confided to a benevolent neutral that the Russians had made his life and that of his people a burden, and, with a deep sigh, exclaimed, "Oh, for the good old times of the Turks, when we had everything our own way, except in the matter of tithes and taxes!" Sin Stefano lies close to the sea; its shore is bathed by the Marmora, aud during August and September its chief recommendations are its bathing and quail shooting. At present, the Russians are the great attraction.

Their military display and their splendid bands are pleasant novelties for the Constantino- politans, who seldom see or hear anything finer than shabby out-nt-elbow Turkish regiment with its brazen monotony of trumpets. The railways run extra and the Government Steamboat Company have put on extra boats, which are crowded daily with excursionists eager to behold the conquerors. The Russian force at San Stefano is rapidly swelling into a respectable sized army, the 1,500 men originally expected, hare increased to as fresh regiment! are still arriving, it is but natural to ex pect that they will out-grow the accom modation of San Stefano, and spreac themselves on to Makrikioi, from which to the Seven Towers--which means Constantinople itself--is but a Truth. Iu a paper read at a Domestic Economy Congress at Birmingham, England, not long ago, Dr. Wilson gave the following hints ou the proper time fot eating for diflVrent clasaea of woikers: For tbe active out-door laborer aud artisan, an euily breakfast before work, a midday dinner, with an interval of rest, and supper aiter the dav a work is over, have loug beeu proved by experience to be the must conductive to health.

For the business a later breakfast, a midday luncheon and a late dinnei after the dity'a woik ii over, is the best arrangement. For literary men, who write inoie in the evening than during tiie day, an early dinner and a light supper will be found to be the most advantageous for steady work. Idlers, to enjoy life, if they possibly can, should diue early if they intend tu spend the evening ut theatres aud the like; but if they accept dinuer-invititloua freely, they should be very careful not to eat too much at the mid-daj njeal. The breakfast hour should be determined, in great measure, bv the hour of but in any case food should be partaken of be foie the material business of i i i is commenced. Those "who like to take a before breakfast would ud Iht-ir appetite aud tlieir all the moie enjoyable, if ley ii little milk, or cafe au-lait, ith bread or biscuit bei'oie starting.

An editorial writer in the New York Journal of Commerce, speaking of capital punishment aud of the large number of executions which have Ukeu place thin spring, is constrained to say that of all the criminals who have suffered the extreme penalty of the law, there "were none that did not richly deserve their fate." In almost every community tha people are acquiescing in the justice of the death penalty for the crime of murder. Iowa, as is well kuowo, has restored it by a legislative enactment, and we are inclined to believe that in Wisconsin and Michigan where murder is punished with imprisonment for life, if a vote of the people were taken today, a UIHJ uity would b2 found in.
