When the cares and tolls of the day are Ger,
and the din and hustle of active ife is hushed
and still, then it is pleasant to walk abroad and
behold the beauties of the great Temple Of Ma
ture. Then is the time to indulge in gentle and
pensve musings. Then is the time to bring to
mind the loved and gentle ones of other days,
that were won't to walk with US; whose dreamy
eyes seem to be gazing fondly npon us, and
whose sweet silvery- toned voices seem to be cal
ling US away from earthly pleasures and vanities,
to the bright realms of peace and glory. Then
is the time to remember the friends that are far,
far away amid other scenes, sustaining the droop
ing spirits Of the down-trodden and afflicted or,
with courage and fortitude, Bearing the tolls
and suflerings and privations of some wild and
uninhabited region. Then is the time to wander
to the churchyard, and muse on the uncertainty
and Instability Of all worldly pleasures and en-
joyments. There lie, in dreamless sleep, the
aged, brought down like shock of corn fully
ripe; the man in middle life, called away from
the cares and tolls of earth, when his brain wa
burning with half-formed plans and projects
and his heart beating with ardent hopes Of sue
cess the youth, cut off in the flower of life
when revelling in an Elysium of golden hope
and joyous aeticipation; and the smiling infan
in its beauty and innocence. They oil calml
sleep together, unconscious of the MONDAY hea

foe sleep side by side, but there is no voice O
strife or angry glance. All is unbroken silence
And SO mnst we rest. Ere long our boundn
hearts will be hushed and still--our eyes loreve
closed in death--our voices silent-and our bod
les embraced in the cold arms OF decay. III

GEN. PELLIssIER,

The officer who was lately invested with the
command of the French army before Sebastopol
earned his claim to that distinction, about ten
wears since, in Africa, by an exploit which will
forever cover his name with infamy. He suffo-
Gated some three hundred men, women and chill
dren of one of the Arab tribes in cave, be-
cause he was unable to make them surrender
to his arms. The Post copies from the Pantheon
Populaire, of Paris, the following rather apollo
petic account of this affair g..
:" The cave had only two entrances, one above
the other, to which an enclosed footpath led. A
company of grenadiers received orders to follow
this difficult route, and to arrive as soon as pos
sible at the retreat of the Kabyles; but the lat
ter had the advantage of firing with certainty
of killing the men engaged in this species o.
rayine warfare. 1t was therefore found necessary
to abandon the attack in front.

EXTRAORDINARY JUGGLING FEATs.

In the early part of the last century physi-
clan named Agr'cola, living at Ratlsbon, in Ger
many, obtained great celebrity by rtin discov-
cries which he declared he had made as to the
multiplication of plants and trees. He could pro.
duce, he said, from small branch, or even from
leaf, six large forest trees in the course of an
hour, through the sole instrumentality of fire.
Hs published several works on the subject, one
of which was published at Amsterdam in 1920.
Its title was, Agriculture Oarfante, or Nouoel
Decouuerte, sc. 1t has been supposed that he
had learned the secrets of the Hindoo Jugglers,
whose feats in the same line are of the most ex
traordinary character. They actually sow the
seed of any tree which the spectators call for, in
the earth, and after few cabalistlcal words said
over it, mulberry, plum or walnut plant is
seen gradually springing upwards, until it be-
comes large tree, with branches. Nor is this
all. The fruit is plucked and given to the spec
,ators to eat and while he is engaged in par
taking of the enchanted dates, or walnuts, the
branches of this miraculous tree are crowded
with birds of every pumage, who will fill the
air with their melody A signal is then given,
and the tree, with its feathered inhabitants dis
appears in au nstants leaving behind it no trace
The author Of the Oriental Annual, an Eng
ish gentleman of nnquestionabe veracity, gives
an almost Incredible description of Juggling
performance at witch he was present.
The operator introduces into the middle of the
circle, naked little girl about eight years old
in a close wicket The girl is shown to all tn,
spectators. The operator then enters into con
yersati1n with her, which soon assumes an angry
tone he threatens to kill her with drawn sword
she supplicates for mercy, and while her pteoui
, cries grow louder and louder, he plunges thu
weapon into her bosom two or three times sue
cessvely. The earth is dyed with blood, Will
, her agonzing groans announce dissolation.-

out by all the ships. "After they had been
short time at work, great excitement was
caused by the report that they had got some

loaf of sugar, rather broader at its base than
they are usually made. 1t was hauled careful

where it was examined and found to contain ten
pounds Of powder. This is ignited by means of

CouRrsHlP. This period, one of the pleas
ATTEST to lovers is ofteniimes trying to the love-
sick swain when he feels himself "put to his
trumps" for 81 talk or at loss for language
wherewiih to clathe his ardent thoughts The
Pawnee style of courlshp, where the lover sits
down silent in a corner of the maiden tent and
"pops the question:" without ever speaking a
word. We have no doubt this would suit some
but we have often wondered that our friend
Dltsen, or some other musical genius in this city,
he'd never imported the Wiunebago courting flute
used by the Indian lover in woong the dark-eyed
maid of the wilderness. We recoect hearing
Mr.. Catin state, many years ago, in one of his
lectures in this city, that he had often heard the
simple sounds of this courting flute, and seen the
patient lovers sitting under a tree by the bank of
the river, or in front of lodge, and never had
heard word exchanged between the happy pair
Many marriages take place solely by the charms
of this fute-and travellers state it as fact that
not single word is ever spoken by either party
during the whole period from courlshp to mar
riage. t..

GUNpowDER.-Th liverpool (Eng.) Stand
ard says -. Some of the effects of ignited gun
powder are wonderful When gunpoweer is
heaped up in the open air and inaamed, there
is no report, and but little effect is produced
A small quantity open and ignited in a room,
forces the air outwards so as to blow out the
windows; but the same quantity confined with

REMARKABLE ELECTRICAL DISPLAYS.

The electricity of the earth shows itself, if at
all, by a brush or star of light on pointed OBJ
jects resting on the earth and projecting into the
air. The records Of these displays have accu
muated with years, and are found in the liter
ature and common language of every country.
The ancients distinguished them by the name of
Castor and Pollux In modern times, and
around the shores of the Mediterranean, they
are hailed as the light of st. Claire or st. Elmo.

Poetry.
For the Green Mountain Freeman.
: VERMONT.


@
Vermont love thy mountains all,
Thy streams and valleys fair, ...
Thy forest trees SO straight tall,
Thy bracingi mountain air;
love thy golden waving grain,
Thy blooming orchard trees,
love thy chill Autumnal rain,
Far more than Southern ease.
love thy sower's joyous song,
It's SO bold and free,
The Reaper doth the strain prolong
And joins the merry glee;
And though thy winds are cold and chill,
Thy wint'ry storms severe,
Yet all may have a home who will,
And friends their home to cheer.
Vermont! thy sons and daugters are
Both beautiful and brave,
To ease, or pride, or selfish care
They'd scorn to be a slavej
Their mind is noble, high and pure,
And Jove Is in their heart,
And trials they can all endure,
Each one with strength his part.
There went forth from thy mountains high,
The noble and the brave,
But we would call them home to die
From Oceans crested wave;
They've labored long in foreign lands,
Their cheek Is faded now,
They've trod the fearful burning sands
But wrinkled Is their brow.
They've toiled that man might yet be free
From Errors CALLING chain
Por this they've dared the raging sea,
And crossed the boundless main
We youthful ones their standard see,
UpIising from afar,
We to that standard now would flee,
Guided by freedoms star.
We maidens all will toll at home,
And WELD the pen Of Right,
And send our brothers forth to roam
And join the raging fight;
Wen aid them as they plant the Cross
Far in the southern seas,
And brave fierce dangers at the loss
OF luxury and ease.
And if they need, we too will go,
And cheer their lonely way,
For we can soohe the heathen's wo,
And guide them when they stray;
And we can dare the foaming deep,
Aud bear the standard, Love,
And we can lonely yigils keep,
Cheercd by the light above.
