If die first dear love,
My mournful soul made free,
To wait and watch for thee
To wait and watch for thee love,
And through the deep dark space,
TO peer, with human lo0gings
For thy radiant face.
II die first dear love-

For Heaven viii not be Heaven,
Until it's shared with thee
Until it's shared with thee, love,
I'll linger at the gate
Or be thy guardian angel,
To teach thee how to wait.
And when thine hour shall come,
And tbro' the yielding night,

And, thro the eternal door,
Pass In with the rejoicing,
Made one forever more.

Whistling.

We believe in whistling-we lore to hear it
and do it. The boy or man at the pillow indi
Gates that be is contented and he will pillow more
than your SILENT grum one, who hath no music
in his soul nor in his lips. The Albany Times
is right when it says ''The man who Cont be-
feve in whistling, should 60 step further, and
put a muzzle on bobalinks and hooking birds.
Whistling is a great institution. It offs the
wheels of care, and supplies the place Of sunshine
A man who whistles has good heart Under his
shirt 'front.', Such man not OILY works more
willingly than any other man, but he works more
constantly. 4 whistling cobler will earn twice
as much money as cordwainer who gives way
to low spirits and indigestion. Mean or avari-
cious men never whistle. Who. ever heard of a
whistler among the sharp practitioners Of Wall
street? We pause for an answer. The man
who attacks whistling, throws a stone at the
head Of hilarity, and would if he could, rob June
of its roses-AGgust of its meadow larks Such
man should be looked to-.

Preservation of Corpses.

& peculiar mode of preserving corpses has
been proposed BY some French chemists. They
first stop all the apertures, such as the mouth
noStrils, &C., with modeler's wax, then place the
corpse in a suitable attitude and spread over the
skin layer of metallic salt, or pulvetized nitrate
IF silver, which is very easily applied. This
salt penetrates into the pores of the skin; and
when d sufficient Quantity oft has been applied
to the body By means Of brush, the body is
pitt into vessel Of salpHate ofcopper, and gal
vanic current being established, the whole sur
face bec8mes covered with deposit of copper,
thus producing metallic mummy, capable of be-
ing preserved any length of time.

A Determined Duelist.

A duel in which brother of the late Phillip
Barton Key was killed by Lieutenant Sherburne
twenty-three years ago, is distributed as fellows
by an ex-midshipman of the United States Navy
1t was fought ii the month of June, 1885, on
q vacant lot of land lying between the Capitol
at Washington and the Navy Yard The day
wasintensely warm and just as the fight was
ended there rose one of the most frightful thin
der storms ever witnessed. This rendered
the bloody afray the more remarkable: At
about o'clock in the morning, was called on
by a friend of young Key Who informed me that
a duel was to be fought; and he eagerly soil
cited me to interfere and if possible prevent it.
Ireplied that would intefpose to the best of
my ability, though had no especial interest in
either party. Inquired of my informant if it
were not possible that he had beeu misnformed?
He replied there could be no mstakt about it !;
for young Key had, the day before, borrowed
the dueling pistols Of the Hon. Henry A. Wise,
and that everything had been arranged. I, at
once called ON Mr.. Wise, and asked him if he
had loaned his pistols to any one? He replied
that he had That young gentleman had
solicited them for the purpose of practising, and
that he had loaned them but was confident that
nothing like duel was on hand, @ for" he adj
ded, L am sure I would not loan them to a
youth for any such purpose" Still, being urged
by my friend I instantly repaired to the locality
where it was said the duel was to be fought
On our arrival we found young Key, and his
antagonist, Sherburne, on the ground believe
that a shot had already been exchanged but of
this am not certain. Key and Sherburne were
both midshipmen in the United States Navy,
and their cause of quarrel, as well as [ can re-
member, originated while both were in the Cuban
station, and had its origin in the ward-room.
1t had nothing to do with women. Sherburne
was native of New Hampshire, a young man
of merit exceedingly modest and opposed to
dueling from conscientious consideration. He
endeavored to effect reconciliations, but Key
was memorable. Sherbulme, [ am very sure
fred once in the air. refusing to seek the life of
his antagonist This produced no effect on Key
he insisted that the fight should proceed. Sher-
burne then said to his second. " 1t he will not
accept any accommodation will certainly kill
him. At the next fire Key fell MORALLY wound
ed, ball having passed entirely through his
lungs and chest, producing infusion of the heart.
Sherburne accompanied by his friend and sur
geon DIR. Fl. with the consent of the friend Of
Key and his surgeon, approached the dying
youth, asked his forgiveness, and rendered him
his hand He was refused with the spirit of
demon, and Indignantly hidden to be off. "Away!
away !" exclaimed Key, in the voice Of death;
leave me. I came not here to whine and
whimper | came here to fght-to be avenged
to maintain my wounded honor. The chances
have been with you, and die-1eavipg to you
my last and eternal generation and defanee"

Ugli11ess !.

It is curious to observe that an ugly face is
generally the Indication of humorous and witty
mind. It suggests innnmerabfe exhileratihg
wftticisms III The Wearer himself, and is the cause
Of wit to others. There is scarcely d merry,
shrewd, witty fellow, even in fictitious history;
but has the honor of ugliness attributed to him.
Esop Was d very ugly little bunch back. Ug-
lief still was Socrates; no less man of wit and
man Of humor than a philosopher. The heroes
Of Rabelais were famous for personal deformity
Sancho Panza, his master, and Rosinante, were,

Ralpho were still more conspicuously ugly Fal-

character of wit and humor in the dramas of
Shakespeare, were enainently ugly. Scarron, the
