JIEMYS WOOING.

The wind came blowing out Of The west,
And Jimmy moved the hay.
The wind came blowing out Of the west
1t stirred the green leaves out Of their rest,
And rocked the blue bird up 10 his nest,
oAs Jimmy moved the hay.
The swallows skinned along the ground,
And Jimmy moved the hay.
The swallows skinned along the ground,
And rustling leaves made . pleasant sound,
Like children babbling ell around
As Jimmy moved the bay.
Milly came with her bucket BY,
And Jimmy moved the hay.
Miliy came with her bucket by.
With her light foot 50 trim and sly,
And sunburnt cheek and laughing eye
And Jimmy moved the bay.
A rustic Ruth in linsey gown
And Jimmy moved the hay;
A rustic Ruth 10 linsey gown,
He watched her soft cheeks, changing brown ;
And the long black lash that trembled down
Whenever be looked that way.
Oh! Milly's heart was good Is gold,
And Jimmy moved the hay
Oh! Milly's heart was good as gold;
But Jimmy thought her shy and cold
And more he thought than e'er be told
AS Jimmy moved the hay.
The rain came pattering down amAin,
And Jimmy moved the hay.
The rain came pattering down amain,
And under the thatch Of the laden train,
Jimmy and Milly, . cunning twain,
Sat sheltered BY the hay.
The merry rain drops hurried 10,
Under the thatch II hay;
The merry rain. drops hurried in,
And laughed and patted in din,
Over that which they saw within, y
Under the thatch Of hay.
For Milly nestled to Jimmy's breast,
Under the thatch Of hay;
For Milly nestled TO Jimmy's breast,
Like wild bird fiuttering TO its nest:
And then Ill vow she looked her best,
Under the thatch Of hay.
And when the rain came laughing out
Over the ruined hay
And when the rain came laughing out,
Ailly had ceased TO pet and pOut,
And twittering birds began to shout,
AS if for . wedding day.

BLESS THE LITTLE CHILDREN Yes, bless
them for the happiness which they uncon-
scously dispense through their own little
innocent joys; bless them for the willing care
which their helplessness commands; bless
them for the hopes which they inspire, the
pleasures which they bring, the efficacy of
their tears, the duty which their wants COM
pei Us to perform, the beauty of their pres
ence and the sweet gladsomeness of their
laughter. Now, let Us read these two nice
little quoted paragraphs:
''The tongue of childhood in lis earnest
and innocent lspings not unfrequently gives
utterance to the most exquisite poetic ex-
pressieHs, which seem to fall from their tiny
lips by Inspiration. A few days ago little
boy, about six years old, retired up stairs 10
bed, leaving his mother below without the
customary goodnight kiss. As he kissed
his father and baae him good night, he said,
''tell mamma good night for me; forgot to
kiss her, but tell her kiss her in nay heart"
''What a pity children should ever grow
up. The other day, passing through an en-
try of one of our public buildings we saw
two little boys, of the ages of about six and
eight, with their arms about each others
neck, exchanging kiss after kiss. 1t was
such pretty sight in that noisy place of
business that one could bat stop to look
The younger of the children noticing ths,
looked with such heaven ofloye in his face
and said, in explanation, He is my brother
Pity they shomld ever grow up, thought we,
as we passed along"

MUTABLE, BUT IMMoRrAL.-Faded leaves,
like other subunary things, change their
form and their substance. They are mostly
made up, as scientific men tell us, ofcarbon,
oxygen, and hydrogen, and of conrse they
go to make up these substances again; they
become solid, or fluid, or gaseous, as is des-
tined for them; but not an atoni is over
looked, or lost, or annhiiated and this
change shall go on with the same mystery
and grandeur that it does now, so long as
this ball of earth on which men tread and
trees grow shall be controlled by yon broad
glowing sun which is just now dipping on
the horizon,-until "this corruptible shall
have put on interruptions" and death and
decomposition shall be words without mean
ing. 1t may then be found that not only our
own bodies return to the svie dust from
which we sprang,n furnishing food forworms
and for plants, but that the very vegetables
we subsist on may at one time have formed
parts of the living, breathing. rejoicing,
grumbling mortality of our ancestors!

DISSOLVED SToNE.-Every reader will re-
member the wonderful things said some two
years ago about DR.. Benz. Hardinges liquid
quartz. His experiments did not appear to
be successful, and were not alluded to again
uatil recently. t now said ha he has per-
fected his invention so as to make it practi-
cally available. An eastern journal remarks {:
1t is applied like paint or yarnish and soon
returns to its original hardness by the action
of the air It can be used in any color on
the walls of houses, theaterS. churches and
all buildings and makes them fire proof 1t
can be applied to curtains and all kinds of
paper, and make them uninflammable It
can be dissolved in water and make ce-
ment that is water proof. 1t can be made in
any form, size, shape or color. II can as
sumo the form and color of any of the pre-
cious stones. 1t will make marble pure and
white. 1t will make sandstone as solid as
marble, and statues, bustS and ornaments
of any size can be made, and columns of
any size, form and appearance, to initiate
marble of any color desired The invention
is IN the hands Of company, and will soon
be brought out. A similar invention, under
the name Of liquid marble, is said to have
been made by NJ. Jobard Of Brussels, Belgi-
um. The invention has created great SEN
sation among artists. 1t can be moulded
on the plaster figure, and thus, instead of
having to hack and hew the shapeless block
with great pains and labor, the artist will
henceforth realize the genuine impression
of his cast at once, and, with scarcely any
further exertion, bring out his creation with
all the freshness and yigor of the first idea.

A GRAND TUNNEL-The miners of Caifor-
MIA are justly proud of their numerous ex-
tensive tunnel enterprises, by means of
which they pierce mountains for thousands
of feet and realize the oriental legends OF
treasure-fIled caverns. But the Hoosack
railroad tunnel, ssdown east" is a work that
renders these pigmy punctures comparatively
Insignificant. 1t has been described before,
but the following pithy sketch from pri-
vate letter will doubtless prove interesting:
A drive of ten miles up the Deerfeld river
from Charlemont, Mass, brought US to the
mouth of the Hoosack tunnel, which is deS-
tined to connect the roads of the Connect.
cut valley with those of the Hudson, by PEN
etrating a mountain that is four and lslf
miles through, though the distance from
mouth to mouth OF the tunnel across the
mountain is nine miles, the depth of the sn-
perincumbent earth being, at lis greatest,
one thousand feet. The rock on the,east
side OF the mountain is mica slate, setting
on edge; and on the other side it is lime
stone. At the mouth OF the tunnel stands
mammoth boring machine, Intended 10 bore
through the moaEtaln . hole twenty -four
ieet in diameter. The augur is a cylinder,
with places TO insert bits on the edge, and
the inten6ed mode Of operation was to drill
in two or three feet, and then blast out the
core. This plan was foIlawed for four er
five feet when the machine was abandoned,
because it required so much power to brace
it and press it against the rock that it was
Improbable. Tie tunnel would have been
n magnificent affair had the machine done
its work well, Just imagine an augur hole
four and a half miles long and twenty four
feet wide, with train of cars running
through it The enterprise is now prose-
cuted in a more primitive manner by hand
drilling small holes aud blasting. In the
first place a top cut is made. This is called
the 'heading," and is six feet high by twen-
ty-ive feet wide-the latter being the reg
ular width of the entire tunnel, while its
hight is eighteen feet. After running in this
''headng," the bottom is cut up very easily.
/ went in 800 feet, as far as the bottom is
worked, the top being in 200 feet further,
making 1000 feet on the east side On the
west side the mountain has been pierced
about 700 feet. About half mile from the
mouth on the west side shaft is being sunk
for the purpose Of running two arms in either
direction, and hosting the rock.

PERPETUAL MoTIoS.-A man in Sacramento
the ten thousandth victim to the imprac-
ticable idea of ceaseless-motion-m machinery
has labored for years on this hobby, till
he is destitute and miserable. Recently the
eastern papers recorded a Il ore successful
case of devotion:
James G. Hendricksoh of Freehold, n j.,
invented a perpetual motion, some years
ago, of sufficient power to carry the works
of clock. Although it contravenes ali the
principles of mechanics. as self-produciug
motion must, yet one of his machines has
been going for six years at Brooklyn, n Y,
and there is no reason to suppose that it
will stop till it wears out. The inventor re-
Gently died and his models were stolen on
the night after his death, but bis family still
have the drawings, and it will be introduced
to the public and its value tested.

The CHINESE DEAD.-The 44Ia California
was informed by Carvalho, interpreter of
Chinese in the police court, that the custom
Of shipping all dead Cinnamon to China for
burial, originated in the sacred and imme-
mortal requirement of the Chinese religion,
that in order to reach the Elysium of the
Celestial Paradise, it is necessary to be
buried within the walls of the ''famly tenn
ple"-every family in China having It's pri-
vate temple at which religious services are
made to particular deties. There is also
another reason why their dead are reshipped
to their native land. They are brought here
by companies which import them for various
industrial purposes, and it is enjoned upon
them to account for every Celestial thus ex-
ported from China, until which, q portion
of the head money is retained. Thus, a
commercial value attaches to everybody, and
it is for the interest of every company to
send back, if not the live man, at least his
bones, to account for the deficiency The
original religious requirement, however, is
said to be the chief actuating cause. In
pursuance of this not unpleasing snpersti-
ton, the friends and relatives of deceased
Cinnamon in any part of the world, deem it
incumbent upon them, as behest of their
religion, to pack the bodies in the best man.
ncr they are able, and forward them by the
nearest and quickest route 10 the land of
their forefathers.

WINTER DAYS.
bY OAK ST. JOHN.

By OAK ST. JOHN.
The mountains once so' brown and green
Lifting their SUBMITS to the sky
With gorgcs broad and deep between,
And torrents foatnjf,s Tntdly by,
Within whose beds the golden sands
Await the stroke of. pick and spade
Welded by La!nr's earnest hands,
Are now i'll snowy yestmerts laid
Dun cionds that up with Auster sweep
Bringfaling flakes Of crystal sheen,
And thro' the vasty upper deep
No glimpse of sun or sky is SEEN
And winds that in the signing pines
Make mournfnl music all the night,
Like some sad soul in vain repne
Earths desolation and its blight.
And TO their funeral music march
Those troops OF clouds. ia'vast afrssy,
As If beneath yoh solemn arch
warrior in his graveclothes lay.
No bird on branches wi1rbies now
Gay songs of summers happy time
Bat cold upon each wonted b.ugh
Hath winter hung his coat Of riihe.
With jest and joke and pleasant smile
Gay troops ascend the mountain side.
And then adown with shouts the while
On Norway snuw-shoes swiftly glide;
Extracting thus some happy hours
From dreary days of storm and snow.
While zepryrs from their chidhood's hours
Watt memories OF long ago.
