Little Mary.

Little Mary has gone home. Earth, with
all its flowers and sunlight and skylight, its
glorious sky aud winding rivers, was not bright
enough for her. The angels loved her with
a better than earthly love- The Father gath
cred her among his little lambs that play by
the still waters in the green pastures.
Her eyes were very blue, and her hair was
very golden. AS the buttercups spring up
thickly in the green fields. so friends gather
ed abou, the little Mary. They praised her
face, and said that never garden gave such
show Of crimson on her cheeks. But gentle
friends, and love, and every earthly beautiful
thing, could not keep liale Mary from her ma
tive heaven.
Farewell, little Mary. Your chair with its
woe arms sits in its accustomed corner
Your little slippers and your pretty frocks lie
folded sacredy away. And still the round
stocking moulds to the arched instcp Still
the white robe falls full as it last fell over the
rarely sculptured limbs. Your books are on
their oaken shelf, and whosoever's eye CLAN
ccs that way, some trembling voice says;
"Thcy were little Mary's" There is icture
hangs against the parlor wall, it is little Mary.
There is tiny chamber that is seldom op-
ened. save by pale woman with blue eyes,
who goes there to weep; it was little Mary's
mother, There is little milk-white kitten
which gambols in the sun with n cherry rib
bon tied on her neck but the dimpled fingers
that fastened it there are dust A fairy tea
set stands in the wide closet; it was little
Mary's.
| Dear heart-how everything seems blend
ed with memories of her! Wherever the
sunlight arches over the reach Of little child's
hand in the olden home, Mary's fingers have
moved. Wherever il has woven tendrils oI
gold through the empty rooms. over the pleas
ant garden, along the river bank, Mary's feel
have halowed every spot. Wherever it has
lie: down its golden arrows in the old orchard
to mellow the heart Of the apple. her gra cefu
limbs have swayed like leaves set dancing by
he summer winds.
And sometimes stray hour, when the
hre-ffes light their lamps on Mary's little
grave-sometimes in the young moonlight
when the shadows trickle like spent flame
and the heart of evening beats so softly That
the birds slep over its pulse--something brigh
gathered in the gloom, and takes the shape
Of little child's face.
That face with IFS wonderous eyes, it,
weavy cloud of amber curs ripping in every
arch motion, with its ruby lips and glowing
cheeks. its eager ove-glanees, its coy bushes
IFS fiful laugh, half shrouded in tears. its pur,
heavenlike brow that face is little Mary's

U. S. CoSsUL RETURNED HoME.--Major
Bennett, who was appointed by President
Pierce U. IS. Consul to Bahia. in Brazil, it is
said, has returned to the United States, hav.
ing found on investigation, that the Consulate
was not so much OF prize as it was repre-
sented to be. The entire fees paid to the
Consul at Bahia only amount to S7o0-not
sufficient to pay expenses. Major B. however
before returning succeeded in obtaining from
the Brazilian government a treaty comforting
upon American citizens full and free right to
navigate the Amazon within the territories Of
Brazil. AS Peru has already conferred the
same right, the navigation Of that magnificent
river, from its scorce TO lis mouth, il is now
open to the enterprise OF our countrymen.

Election Frauds In New York.

The New York papers contain statements
and affidavits, which go 10 show gross fraud
in canvassing the votes Of one district of the
twenty eighth Ward. VIM. Turner, Hugh
Mooney, aud VIM. Murray, Inspectors of Elcc-
tion of that district, have been arrested on
complaint, which charges them with corrupt
ly and crminally falsiiying, altering and furg-
ing The lawful canvass of ballots in the first
district of the Twenty Eighth Ward. The
fraud appears to have consisted in the accus
ed, or one of them, abstracting about 35 tick
els marked Cummings II. Tucker" after the
election was over, and putting in their place
S5 more marked &C. Tucker" Cummings
II. Tucker was the Wing, and VIM. McConk-
ey, the Democratic candidate for Alderman in
that Ward. BY this manoever the 35 votes
marked "C. Tucker" were not counted with
those for Cummings II. Tucker, and thus that
gentleman lost his election by 10 votes.

The following is published in the NJ mphis
Eagle, as the method to procure apples with
out seeds or cores:
Make the ends Of the limbs Of an apple
tree, where they hang low, SO as to reach the
ground, dig small hole for the end under
the tree, bend it down and bury it in the hole
confnng it down so that it will remain-do
this in the winter or beginning offspring. The
end of the limb thus buried, will take root
and put up sprouts and scions, which, when
they become sufficiently large to set out. dig
up at the proper season, and transplant them
in the orchard where you wish them to re-
main. When they get large enough to bear.
they will bear apples without seeds or cores.

Education In Turkey.

The Boston ARas gathers from late Eng
jish work some facts in regard to the diffu-
sion OF popular instruction in Turkey, which
will probably be new, also. to many of our
readers. In lS46 council was formed, BIZ
imperial decree. for the management of all
questions Of public instructions, and the super
vision Of the new university. The state of the
primary schools under their charges is OF most
satisfactory description. Elementary instruc-
tion in Turkey is not only free but obligatory!
The law requires every citizen, as soon as his
sons and daughters hare reached their sixth
year, TO lnscrlbe his name in the books of one
Of the public schools, unless he can prove his
means OF educating them at home In Con.
stantlnople, the most recent report shows the
existence OF 3o6 free schools, frequented by
22,700 children of both sexes. After FIVE
years passed in one Of the schools, the pupil
can enter q secondary school. where instruc.
tion on all points are also gratuitous.
There are now six Of these schools with
about thousand pupils. Thre is also a
high school for young men intended to I'LL
public appointments, college founded with
the same view, a normal school for the cduca
lion ofprofsssers, the imperial college of med
ieine, military, naval, and an agricultural
school. The Sultan is himself the Superin-
tendent OF these schools. and visits in person
at their examinations. The pupils are said to
be deyotedly attached 10 him. The public
libraries Of Coustantinople contain $4,000
volumes. During the reign of the present
Sultan. protection and federation have been
extended 10 all religions. Christians have
been permitted to take their position among
the servants Of the state. and to share in the
administration Of public affairs; some have
been attached even to important embassies.
Old abusesin Ieyying taxes have been done
away with, monopoes have been abolished.
