The Trance of Love.

Love in drowsy mood one day
Reclined with all his nymphs around him,
His feathered darts neglected lay,
And faded were the flowers that crowned him
Young Hope, with eye of light, in vain
Led smiling Beauty to implore him,
While Genius poured his sweetest strain,
And Pleasure shook his roses DER him.
At length stranger sought the grove.
And fiery Vengeance seemed to guide him,
He rudely tore the wreaths of Love,
And broke the darts that lay beside him.
The little god now wakeful grew,
And, angry at the bold endeavor.
He rose, and wovo his wreaths anew,
And strung his bow more firm than ever.
When, 10! the invader cried, Farewell!
My skill, bright nymphs, hislesson teaches
While Love is sprightly bind him well
With smiles, and songs, and honeyed speeches.;
But should dull languor seize the god,
Recall me on my friendly mission;
For know when Love begins to nod,
His surest spur is opposition.

GospEL--Somebody East, we know
not who, has immortalized himself
in the following insight into human
nature, which we endorse and literally
commend to all cross-looking wives.
He says:
"Whether man leads sober life
or not depends altogether upon the
temper of his wife. No man will
listen all night to a scold, who knows
where good warm sling can be
bought for a sixpence. At Cocktaifs S
the other night, we found no less
than thirteen married men who spent
six evenings week squirting tobacco
Juice on coal stove. We thought
we could find out who they we're.
On inquiring we found that eleven OF
them were blessed with cross wives
who .jawed,' while the other two
welded a couple of the philanthro-
pist' ladies, so constantly engaged in
the welfare of central Africa that
they have not time to keep their hus-
bands shirts whole"

Is it So?

Somebody--we don't know who,
and it makes no difference-thus
warns young men to beware of the
women:
Young men, keep your eye peeled
when you are after women! Is the
pretty dress or form attractive? Or
q pretty face even? Flounces, boy,
are of no consequence. A pretty
face will grow old. Paint will wash
off. The sweet smile of the firt will
give place to the scowl Of the termi-
CANT. The neat form will be pinched
into a calico dress. And another
and far different being will take the
place of the lovely goddess who
smiles so sweet and eats your candy.
Keep your eye peeled, boy, when
you are after the women. If the
little dear is cross and scolds at her
mother in the back room, you may
be sure that you will get particular
all round the house. If she apologi-
ses for washing the dishes, you will
needs girl to fan her. If she bushes
when found at the wash-tub, be sure
she is of the Goldfish aristocraoy, little
breeding and little sense. If you
marry a girl that knows nothing but
to commit woman-slaughter on the
piano, you have the poorest piece of
music ever got up. Find one whose
mind is right and then pitch in.
Don't be hanging around like a
sheep, as though you wele ashamed to
be seen in the dough, but ask for the
article like a man.

A Mr.. Stout, of iowa, having oeca>
sion lately to use his loaded rife, at
tempted to discharge it, which he
failed to do after exploding several
caps. He then entered his house,
and, on examination, came to the
conclusion that the powder was wet,
He pricked some dry powder into the
tube, and placed on it a cap, partly
filled with powder also. He then
took the wiper, which had ball
screw on the end, put it in the rifle
and screwed it into the bali. After
getting things so far ready for oper-
alton, he set the triggers, cooked the
rifle, and setting his teeth on the
wiper, pulled while with another rod
be set off the triggers. The rifle
went of, and rod, ball and all passed
through his mouth and neck, and en-
tered the wall Of the house. Strange
to say, he was but slightly injured
and was able to 60 to work in few

Walking Leaves Of Australia.

! Almost everybody has heard O
the wonderful walking leaves of Aus.
tralia. For long time after the dis
covery of that island, many people
really believed that the leaves of q
certain tree which Aourished there
could walk about the ground. The
story arose in this way: "Some En-.
glish sailors landed upon the coast one
day; after roaming about until they
were tired, they sat down under tree
to rest themselves. A puff of wind
came along, and blew off a shower Of
leaves, which, after turning over and
over in the air, as leaves generally do,
they finally rested upon the ground.
AS it was midsummer, and everything
appeared quite green, the circum-
stance puzzled the sailors sconsidera-
bly,. But their surprise was much
greater, as you may well suppose,
when, after short time, they saw
the leaves crawling along on the
ground towards the trunk of the tree.
They ran at once for their vessel,
without stopping to examine into the
matter at all, and set sail away from
the land where everything seemed to
be bewitched. Onesof the men said
that he expected every moment to |
see the trees set to and dance a jig
Subsequent explorations of Australia |
have taught US that these walking
leaves are insects They live upon
the trees. Their bodies are very thin
and flat, their wings forming large
leaflike organs. When they are dis
turbed their legs are folded away un-
der their bodies, leaving the shape ex-
lctly like a leaf with its stem and all
They are of a bright green
color in the summer, but they gradu-
lilly change in the fall, with the leaves,
% the brown of frost-bitten vegsta-
ion. When shaken from the tree
hey lie for few minutes upon the
ground, as though they were dead,
out presently they begin to crawl to-
wards the tree, which they ascend a.
gain. They rarely use their wings,
although they are pretty well suppi-
ID in this respect"

"Why on earth, Keziah," ask

"Well, brother, boys are so partic-
ular when they grow up, and always
want romantic and fine-sounding
names. and SO ] told my husband we
would call the child Peleg Zerubable
Kish EIkanah Habakkuk, and when
he gets old enough be cans take bis
choice"
The Squire thought it would be
hard picking, but be did not say SO;

The expenses Of maintaining
fashionable church in Boston is about
$500 per Sabbath; in New York it
is not far from FIVE times that amount.
Some of the items that make up this
sum are-pastor's salary, $4,000;
music 1000; interest on church
property, $4,000. A writer in one
of the newspapers goes into oalcula-
tion of the number of children this
could educate, the number of coun-
try parsons it would maintain. etc.,
as if it we're reasonable to expect
the millionaries to abandon the lux
uries of worshipfo the sake Of doing

Horrers in Connecticut.

The explosion Of Wakenansm in
the '-land of steady habits" showing
the prevalence in one Of the most.
distinguished seats of learning in the
country, of horrible and lamentable
delusions staggering even eredulity
(the New York Day Book says) has
excited sensation even among our
people, supping full Of horrors as
they have since the discovery Of gold
in California. Three atrociousD mur-
ders, all the consequences Of one of
the most pitiable and wretc he'd. hal
lucinations which ever crazed the
human mind. A woman fancying
that she had died and risen from the,
dead; that she was the Saviour ofths
world; that her victim would kill
her, if he was not put to death; thather
death would put an end to the world,
and entail perdition on our race; that.
she had followers black and white
men and women-who believed
her; that her victim believed her too
and consented to bis own sacrificed
ALI this would be horrible in any ags
,r country. How much more so is it,
n this day and generation, among a
people who make such loud boasts
# It's mental Illumination.
The Day Book thinks that if these
had happened in any
me of the slave States, in Mississippi
or instance, such papers as the Tri-
,une would have traced them to the
'blighting effects of slavery" If it
lad happened in Missouri, ,thosepa
night have added "border ruffianism"
o slavery. But the scene of these
lorrors forbids all such attacks on
N the south in such a connection,
The fact stands nakedly out, that
Ielusion, which would have disgraeed
ny age however dark, is born and
lourishes among the people, who for
be multitude of their schools, coll
ages and churches, are frequently
uoted as the most enlightened and
loral people on earth.

Were the atmosphere at all times
of a uniform temperature, there
would never be rain, hail, nor snow.
The water absorbed by its evapora-
ton from the sea and the earth S
surface would descend in an imper-
ceptible vapor, or cease to absorbed
by the air when it was once fully sat-
urated. The absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently its Ca
pacity to retain humidity, is prcpor-
tionably greater in warmer than in
cold air. The air near the surface Of
the earth is warmer than it is in the
region of clouds. The higher the as
cent from the earth the colder does
the atmosphere become. Hence the
perpetual snow on very high noun
tains in the hottest climate.
