Some forty yar ao the following poiii was printed in theIndon Morning Chronicle. Every effort was vainly made to discover the the author, even to the offfrin of a reward of fifty guineas.

All that ever transpired was, that the m-hi, lu a fair. clerkly hand, was found near a skeletou of of form in the Mus eum ol the Itoyal of Burgeons, Liu coin's Inn, Iximlon, and that the Curator of the Must-uiu -nt it to the Ioudon if-triitnt Behold this ruin 'l'was a kull luce of ethereal spirit full. This narrow i-ell was Life's retreat. Tills space was Thought's mysterious seat. What beauteous vision tilled this spot, W'liat dreams of pleasure lout; forgot Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear.

Have lefl one trace of record here. Beneath this molderlng canopy Once shone the bright and ready eye; But start not at the dismal void If once with love that eye employe If with no lawless fire it gleamed. But through the dews of brightness That eye shall Is forever bright When stars and sun arc sunk in Within this hollow cavern bung The ready, swift and tuneful tongue. If fulseluHsl's honey It disdained. And when it could not praise, was chained.

If bold In virtue's cause 11 spoke. Yet gentle concord favor broke This silent tongue shall plead for thee When time unveils eternity. Say, did these Angci delve the mine? Or with the envied rubies shine? To hew the rock or wear the gem Can little nour avail tothem. But If the page of truth they sought. Or comfort lo the mourner brought, Th'sc bunds a richer meed shall claim Than all that wait on wealth or fame.

Avalls.il, whether hare or shod. Tln-se fts-t the paths of duty tnsl If from the I tower of Ease they tied. To seek alllietion's humble shed If Grandeur's guilty bride they Npurmd, And home to Virtue's cot returned. These fiel with uugels' wings do vie, And tread the palace of the sky. Minnie's Secret.

Mrs. Lawton and tier only child. Minnie, were waiting for the arrival of cue they both loved. "Will lather come soou Minnie asked. 'I hoiie so, darhug," replied her mothi'r; "hut" There was a world of meaning in that little word "but," yet the tired watcher tried to hide it.

"What were you going to say.motu- er? questioned the child after a pause. 'On. nothing nothing:" ana the anxious wife forced buck the tears that pushed to her eyes. Though only seven years old, Mln nie Lawton was thoughtful, tender hearted maiden, and seeing that her mother did not wish to talk, she ask no furtluir ntirm it was the llrst time Mrs. Lawton had allowed her daughter to stay out bed, that she might Keep her com pany while she sat waiting lor mm who was absent.

The clock struck eleven, but the footsteos so eagerly listened for di not come. Another half hour slipped quietly away without bringing Mr, Lawton to his home, and every min ute his wife became more nervously anxious. At length the clock struck twel vc. Minnie and her mother had listened its low. monotonous tickings until they fancied the sounds were louder than in the earlv evenine: but when began to tell them that midnight had come, Mrs.

Lawton started aud looked wistfully around the room. He was not there. What a sad and lone place it seemed to bo without him Weary with waiting, Minnie's mother tried to relieve her mind by talking of the past, aud revealing her fears of th future: but every now ana then a sob would compel the speaker stop, and then a sign would come from the child's heart to tell her parent that her sorrow was being felt and shared. At last heavy foofiteps were heard in the passage below, and Mrs. Lawton rose from her chair.

The truant husband and father had indeed come; but how? Not sober and good tempered, as usual; but cross very cross, and yes we must tell tipsy. Staggering Into the room, glared for a moment at his trembling wife, and then uttered a loud, hoarse laugh. "Why have you stayed so late, William?" she ventured timidly. "I've been having a social glass or two with an old friend, Polly. Brine some beer," and he threw himself heavily on the sofa.

In a little while fell asleep, and neither Minnie nor her mother could rouse him, so they to rest. Several hours elapsed before William Lawton awoke from his stupor. got to bed as well as he could, where, his brain being still clouded with the fumes of the liquor he liad taken, he soon fell into another deep sleep. At lengt morning a glorious summer morning brought the sun's rays into the room where he lay. Opening his eyes, he pressed his hands his head and sighed heavily.

"I've lieen foolish mad," he muttered to himself. Putting on his clothes, aud going toward the window, "What a magnificent sky Aud to think that should have no more sense than to" Hearing Minnie's voice lie paused and listened. "Minnie." The singing ceased. "Yes, father." "Conie here, I want yon." When sober, Mr. Lawton was do-tingly fond of his only child.

"What is your mother doing?" he asked when she made her appe arance. "t'ooKing a int or hacon ror your breakfast." "Hid you see me last night, Min nie?" "Yes father." MAh, I'm sorry for that." "Hut you're not so sorry "as mother is." "How do you know "Heeause she cries when you stay out so late." Theconscience-strickeii parent turned his face another way. "Oh, father, you would be sorry if you knew what I Minnie. Then she came and took hold of his hand in her old-fashioned, coaxing way, and added, "You're not tipsy now, are you, father "No no, Minnie; don't talk of that. Tell me, what is it that yon know "Ah, but it's a secret." "A what a secret "Yes, and you would la? angry with me, if I were to tell it," "No I wouldn't, not now, Minnie.

Tell it to me and you shall have some sweets when I come home." Thus urged, the thoughtful little maiden to tell her secret. "Last night, when mother and me had been waiting for you a long, loug time, I fell asleep and thought that I was in a grand house playing with a lot of other little girls. Then somelgxly shook me aud I wakened. It was mother that wakened me, aud she was crying and looking like a a trembling as if roblKrs had got into the house to kill us. Then she kneeled down and prayed that you might come told me how good and kind you used to lie to her when I was a baby; and "Hut the secret Minnie, the secret." "And she told me how you rome home tipsy when I'm in bed.and then scold iter and break things "Never mind that.

P.ritixh IVork u'omrtn. A Patriarch One Hundred and Thirty-Six Children in Social Reunion. union. Mr. Matthew Grinnell, living near Haven, Nelson county, on the approach of his eighty-second birthday, conceived the idea of having a grand barbecue in honor of the event, and bringing together his con sanguinity in social intercouse.

Last (Saturday, one hundred and thirty-six children and grandchildren, with fif teen hundred invited guests assembled at the family mansion to cele brate the birthday of the venerable octogenarian, who stands as a con necting link between the past and the present. HancingaiiilolherariitisenienU were ndulged in, aud although those whose locks were sprinkled with silver did not become so enthusiastic as to essay temsiehorean feats, yet they manifest ed the greatest enjoyment in watch nig their children and their grand children "triDtiinir tliH lit'ht fanfjis. tic." Venerable old gentlemen, for-! getting their iulirmities accompany ing the sunset ol He, played gallauu to motherly dames as in days of yore. it was an old-lashioneu gathering. carrying one back to the early days of tne when the people not so hampered by the trammels or society and tied up in business pursuits, were more wont thus to come together iu social intercourse, and, giving them selves up to the inspiration of the oe casion, have a general good time, the memory of which, as handed down to posterity, makes us wish for a return of those halcyon days, when this world was not so mil or mock gentility.

Louinrilfc Couriir- Journal. An Eccentric Nobleman. One of the most -eccentric person ages of the eighteenth century was the Marquis de liacquerville.

On one occasion he had ordered a clock to be made; it was of difficult construction and doubtful taste. "I must have it by such a day," said he to the clock maker, "else I will not take it?" The time was short, but the Marquis was a liberal paymaster, and therefore the ciockmaKer took special pains, lured additional hands, and finished the clock on the appointed day but it be ing too late to deliver it, lie ueierred doing so until the next morning. On the morrow he presented himself with the clock before the Marquis, bnt the latter refused to receive it, "If you had brought it yesterday, even at midnight, I would have accepted it; but now it is too late." The clockmaker, despair represented the loss of time labor and money he had incurred in the work, and the Marquis, who sometimes showed a kind heart in the midst of his crotchets, said: "Here, take your money, but carry away the clock 1 have vowed not to accept it." One of his horses having made a false step, the Marquis caused him to be hanged on a gibbet, and made his other horses walk pust the suspended carcass every day, all the while recommending them to take warning the example. He had about fifty sixty of the prettiest canaries, bullfinches and other singing birds; and having consulted some dealers in birds as to the quantity of seeds which bird ought to consume in a year, he had a large measure filled with the exact quantity, and then had as many similar measnre put into the aviary is it there were birds, "Now, my pets," said he to them, "I have given you enough to last you a year, you must manage accordingly, for you will have more food until the year is out." the end of three months perhaps less it was all gone. The birds hail done as men do; having abundance to liegin with they had squandered it.

Part of it was consumed, part was bwt, and part had lieconie rotten. When he saw tins, ue said, to them, forewarned you of it, and this is how you have profited by my advice! Now, live how you can, and die if you wilt" And die they all did. Hhad not the humanity even to let them go free, to shift for themselves, fancying that they were being justly punished their extravagance Mr. Edward Jesse relates, in his last edition of "Gleanings in Natural History," that a gentleman of his acquaintance, who fed hisowii pointers, observed through a hole in the door a number of rats running about the kennel, some of them eating from the rough trough with some of the dogs, who made no attempt to molest them indicate that their presence was unwelcome, Resolviug" to shoot the intrusive rats, he, next day, put the food as usual in the area of the kennel, but kept out the dogs. Not a rat came to taste.

He saw them peering from their holes Imt they were too well versed in human nature to venture forth without the protection of their canine guard. After the lapse half an hour the pointers were let when the rats immediately sallied forth from their places of observation. joined Uieir hosts and dined with them as fearlessly and heartily as usual. Dog and their Doings. On tearing down a portion of an old religious edifice of Willscott.

in Oxfordshire, England, the workmen came upon an oratory hidden in the thickness of the walls.and covered by the paneling of the adjacent room. It contained a small library of the earliest Protestant theology, of the time of the- Reformation, concealed, perhaps, during tlie reign Bloody Mary, when the possession such looks would doom the owner fire and fagot. Among other works are some of John Knox's writing, and complete copy of the first English, Coverdale's, translation of the Bible. the Paris The French Flag. When Clovis liecame a Christian he received from the Emiwror Anasta sius the title of patrician, and was invested with the insignia of the consulate, the purple, the clilumys the diadem and the sceptre surrounded with the Roman eagle, at St, Martin-of-Totirs, and in that church received his standard, the mantle of St.

Martin, which was of plain blue, making it the ensign of France. Since the time of Clovis, the Mag, or rather the royal pennon, has l-en blue. As to the Jiiterx-lc-li, they were not only the badge of the king, but above all of France; their heraldric form has no resemblance to anything certainly established, but their origin is most ancient; they are found iu the museum on the helmet of Assyrian warriors, aud on therfVmof earthenware dug out of the ruins of Ninevah. The second French flag was red. Louis VI, named the Fat, called the father of the Communes, having re united to the crown exin, of which PontU was the capital, took for his banner the wifl'tmnv.

of St. Denis, standard of plain red, the color mortars, which the counts of Vexitl had lefore the time of that king, the privilege oi carrying to the wars un der the title of "Arrtiwx de, filial Denis," and thus it was that red he came the French color up to the tir of f'harles VH. me The third French Has was white.

Driven from Paris, on his return to England he kept to that color, and the red rose liecame the emblem of the House Lancaster in distinction from the House of York; which adopted the white rose. Then as a curious ex change, Charles VII, rightful King of ranee, adopted the white cross and the white nag, ami under that ensign routed the English. Thus it was that the white Hag became the National standard. 1 he colors of the city of Pttris were originally blue and red.

The elfect of mountain air is to exhilarate the spirits, and induce a feeling of buoyancy and strength which is most pleasurable. In ordinary conditions of health, apart from any special call upon the vital energies, in persons taking a reasonable amount of mental and physical exercise, and enjoying an equally reasonable amount of rest, there is no actual necessity for taking stimulants of any kind; but in civilized countries, it is so universally customary to take stimulants in more or less moderate quantities, that it is now looked iion as a natural habit. There is no habit which is so disposed to grow upon one as that of drinking. Even water-drinking, apparently harmless, liecouies, with some people, a most pernicious habit; they cannot exert themselves in any way without drinking water they are regularly in the habit of drinking many glasses or water between meals. Ti i is it bit is an Injurious one; it greatly weakens digestive power, hastens waste, and very probably tends to Eroduce corpulency.

Unfortunately owever, water-drinking, which, in quantities very far short of intoxication, is much more injurious. By water-drinking we dilute our tissues, by beer-drinking we contaminate them yet how very common it is to meet wiux people wno never miss tne opportunity of taking a glass of beer independently of that which thcv take at meal times 1 When a train stops, or a coach changes horses, tliey rush to the counter at races, at fairs, crick et-matches, they take sundry glasses. We constantly meet such men they are what is called tenierate, frequently highly industrious and intellectual. The physician often meets them; they come under his notice nt about middle age, miserable hypochondriacs, sulleriiig from all varieties of indiges tion, gout, and liver disorders, and would be astonished to know that years have ls-en taken oil' their lives principally by the etlecls of a habit they have acquired so gradually and regard so lightly. A still more dangerous habit than the last, acquired in the same gradual manner, and indulged in often with he same ignorance of its results, is that of taking small quantities of spirits, either "ueaf'or with a little water at intervals during the day what is vulgarly called "nipping." This hati-it is mostcommon with cmch-dri vers, hack men and conductors.

They are notdruukarks, though in too tiiany instances they ultimately lieconie so. We have often sat by the side of the driver of a coach, a merry fellow, well known all along the road, exchanging a word or a joke with every one. He stops some five or six times iu the course of fifteen miles, and usually has a small glass or spirits each time; he commonly calls for a glass of irin and water cold with a defiant empha sis on the last word, as mil eh as to say, "I'm none of your fiery liquor drinkers." Poor fellow he is irremediably damaging his health, as surely as if he chose the most ardent liquor distilled, but perhaps more slowly. The physician again meets these men; t'icy ihe ui liospitals of liver ami kidney dlSOfKiOO. Tlio i HI rvi o.l 1 .1 nt least the primary reason for indulging iu the habit is the false idea "that it keeps the cold out," whereas it has been proved over and over again that spirits, though they temporarily cause sensation of warmth, actually lower temperature, gradually undermining the health.

At present there are thirty thousand sheep going weekly into the New York market ten thousand into Boston some fifty thousand into Philadelphia and Baltimore; and the number consumed throughout the country in othercities adds materially to the numbers. The saving of the yearlings alone, out of this vast aggregate, would nrobablv add to the number of sheep from which wool could be taken next vear nearly percent; and this is an increase which the pasture lands and wool consumption could sustain with out creating any panic among dealers either mutton or. wool.

They atsiund in green, slimy, stagnant ponds, full of putrid vegetable and animal matter in a state of tie-composition, whose bubbling surfaces exhale, under a tropical sun, noxious gases, jsaisoning the atmosphere and spreading around disease and death. The filthy habits of the people who drink this water, and seem to deem cleanliness akin to anything but godliness, also serve to spread the contagion even further. The journeys of the pilgrims in India are also conducive to a large spreading of the contagion, countless numbers of these fanatics meeting together at Raraisseram, Hurdwar and Bijanagur; and from this latter it is doubtless carried over to the extreme west coast of Hindostan, especially to the great seaports, Calcutta, Goa, Ac.

These pilgrimages are evidently the r.s,t oi an evn in inuia. ne greatest license is liHiuigoti in, ie pilgrims i -i uiiiiemuiy cnarac- ter, and wheu the fanatical excite- nient is over, and they start on their journey, sick, weary and i demoralized.it is then that the disease is disseminated throughout the country. Public roads and thoroughfares become saturated with the elements of the disease, and every well and spring and stream along the pilgrim routes becomes dangerous to marching troops and wayfaring travelers. In this connection we may add, that the first accurate account of Asiatic cholera in Hindostan, in not very remote times, relates to the sufferings of a division of English troops, consisting of 5,000 men, while marching under the command of Colonel Pearse. near Can- jam, not far from the tediple of Jug gernaut.

"It is well to notice (Dr. Peters tells us) that Juggernaut, or eastern twenty-year festivals, is-i ur two years earlier than the Hurdwar, or great northern festivals. Thus, the Juggernaut cholera of 17s was followed by the great epidemic of 17X1; the Juggernaut cholera of 1M7 was followed by the Hurdwar pestilence of Ispj; and the Juggernaut cholera was supplanted by the stutiendou.s outbreak at Hurdwar in lsiiT.

We may expect an epidemic of cholera again in 1877 and ltW'J." After tracing its course through out India and i.astern Asia, Dr. ll'eters comes to the conclusion that thechol-era that has now reached Russia and Poland is the result of the Hurdwar pilgrimage of 1867; quoting the language of the London Lancet, which says: "There never was a more forcible illustration of the doctrine that chol era travels along the line of human intercourse than supplied by the pilgrimage to and from Hurdwar. The well-known Liith'year native gather ing took place; cholera aptieared; the vast assemblage, three millions in mini her, broke up; and from Hurd war as as a centre, old the pestilenire radiate outward in the diverging lines taken by these pilgrims. i i i A Boy's Letter.

He marched over to the office, lollowed by an inv mense crowd. The assistant editor was busy in printing a big placard to be tacked ou the hearse. It bore the legend, "Buy your coffins of Simms, over me iieraia oniee." The assist ant editor cast his eye around and perceived his ehief. Care sat upon that wan cheek, and thunder clothed his brow, lie leveled his gun.

The assistant did not wait With one wild aud awful yell he jumped from the second story window, and struck out for the golden shores of the Pacific. It is believed he eventually swam over to China. "GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN." the Woman's Who the Healthy Girls Are. Girls, host ages range from 12 to 18, have an ideal standard of size, and if by chance nature determines otherwise it is punished for its presumption. What corsets cannot effect, arsenic, state-pencils, chalk and vinegar can, and when all these aids are brought into requisition, the saints are rewarded by pallid cheeks, pussy physiques waists that a hand can almost span.

The mother knows that in the hour her little girl nnslestly requests that "the hooks or buttons set back, for, mamma, see, I can run my hand between my dress and myself, and I do feel so untidy with such a bag banging around me," that the warfare has begun, aud until the day of her decline the apostle's injunction to "keep the flesh in subjection," will scrupulously obeyed. I5etween the eras of the swaddling bund, and corsets and crinoline, there used to be a period of a few years, when arms ami limbs could climb trees and scale heights like their progenitors mentioned by Dr. Darwin, and muscle, sinew and blood hade fair to hold their own. The little bare- lioaukMi, luimi pirl of ten, astride a bridleless ami saddleless liorse, or pad dling tiown the stream on a raft of her own construction, bad a season of pure animal enjoyment, and it was thought euough if she grew plump and rosy, was early to bed and early ..1 1.1 nM ise, inn i-ouiii sing tne lives 10 the tune of Yankee Doodle. She must have been far in her "teens" or out of them, before she caught a glimpse of tne mouei young lady, Willi tapered waist, pinched appetite, and a general air of languor pervading every movement aud 1 utterance.

She looked upon the lav figure with admiration, nnd forthwith commenced remodeling herself, but with indif ferent success. "As the twig is bent the tree is inclined." Nature hail a good start, and she could not yield to art without a hard struggle. Tiie few robust women of forty to-iliiy, are the ones whose young lives were free and careless as the birds, whose clothing never iettereti limns nor pressed lungs, whose impulses and instincts were never cheeked or killed outright by Mrs. Grundy's strictures. 111 A Potato Race.

A correspondent thus ik-scribes a "potato race" In New Hampshire, a fashionable sKrt there: A very curious trial of strength and sfieed it Is. Three lines of potatoes were laid. Each liue is of fifty each a yard from the other. Of course each line forty-nine yards At the end of each line is a basket, by which at the start a contestant stands. In this case there are three competitors.

At the word "go," each one begins where he chooses on his line to piok np potatoes that he may bring them to the basket He must pick np but one each trip and turn to bring It book Jo the basket. Your mathematical readers will see that this Involves seven thousand, three hundred feet of running, with such deductions as may be made for an outstretched arm, when I unc oraira ins uasitet, ami, witn the serious addition of two turns for every potato, or one hundred turns in all. Three spirited contestants entered, and one of them, named "Thrasher," distinguished here as as having won a tub race in the Iant stiorts, which were aqnatie, performed the feat in a little more than nine minutes. The other two were close behind him. If you have over any occasion try, let me tell yon that the scientific, performance Is to t'ike your long runs first, when your wind is gixsl.

When you want to regain your breath, tike your short runs, hich in vol ve the delay of turning, but are easier for breathing. You see how fisal the time was for the distance of mile and a half.

We learn by way of St. Paul that a proposition is 011 foot to ferry loaded freight cars acro-s Lake Michigan, upon the same plan that cars were formerly passed across rivers.

Such an achievement would ls possible in quiet weather Hit we fear the ferry boat would be a trifle toi-heavy wheni old Boreas was out. Some of the finest Bud most powerful steamers have la-en lost 011 these ocr.isions, even when the freight was in the bold. What effect a deck passage would procure on the vesnel, would be la-Uer known after trial. If is safe to ferry eighty miles, why not the whole length of the lakes? And how much more does it frost at present to load ami unload a vessel than it would cost to navigate so ponderous aud marvelous a craft as one of these laiais wouiii easny oe. mo Pica j.s highly original, and the anclont mariners will no doubt marvel much over m-nius for iiiv.iili,.n had la tter send her seim ner pi i he lake.

An I ndiana man broke a chair over ues a week or two ago. nc hiivuijuii, an1 tlje clergyman undertook to talk with him, he displayed a good deal of penitence. rte sani mat he was very sorry that he had permitted his anger to obtain the mastery of him and sutler nini to do such an act, because it was a good old-fash ioned Wi ndsor chair, an heirloom in his family, and he knew he never could replace it. After he bad built the Drew church, one of his old neigh bors was inquiring Daniel his experience about special providences. "Believe in special providence? of course I do," said Daniel.

"Why, when I subscribed $10,000 for the church, I had no Idea where the money was coming from, but providence was with me. I went down to Wall Street, got in wiUisomeof those New York smart fellows, and in less than six mouths I had skinned them out of JlO.ono as slick as a whistle." try, our of The svm 1 i verro I am in the aula oneaatiMS SIMJI0XS' ik. in Is la ti -hi silder. and iwtaken for tha rheumatism.
