THE EYEs.-An eye can threaten like the
loaded gun, or can insult like Kissing or kick
ing or in its altered mood, by beams of kind
ness can make the heart dance with JOY. The
eye obeys exactly the action of the mind. When
thought strikes u.s. the vision is fixed, and re-
mains looking at distance in enumerating
names or persons or countries, as France, Spain,
Britain, or Germany, the eyes wink at each new
name. There is an honesty in the eye which
the mouth does not participate in q The artist"
as Michael Angelo said, must have his measure
in his eye" Eyes are bold as lyons-bold run
ming leaping. They speak all languages they
need no encyclopedia to aid in the interpreta-
ton of their language; they respect neither
rank nor fortune, virtue nor sex, but they go
through and through you in a moment of time
You can read in the eye Of your companion
while you talk with him, whether your argument
hits though his tongue will not confess it
There is a look by which man tells you he is
going to say good thing, and look which
says when he has said it. Vain and forgotten
are all the fine offers of hospitality if there is no
holiday in the eye. How mapy incinationS are
ayowed by the eye, though the lips dissemble
how often does one come from company in
which it may easily happen he has said nothing !;
that no important remark has been addressed to
him, and yet in his sympathy with company he
seems not to have sense of this fact,.,for a
stream of light has been flowing into n{inrand
out of him through his eyes. As soon az men
are off their centres they show it.--R. w. En-

Another Real Life Romance.

The citizens Of Columbus, and visitors at the
Capitol, viii recollect a beat tiful young girl
apparently "sweet sixteen" who daily carried
about the Legislative Halls and State Offices. a
handsomely wrought basket containing the
sweetest and plumpest oranges. Oh, yes eyery-
body remembers Elite, the beautiful orange
girl and have wondered in what nook she has
hidden for the last two months; for no more
her sweet face and girlsh form is seen in the
Capitol, and interesting clerks with great ad-
miration for the rotund, obliged to forego
glimpses of the neatest gathered foot tripping up
the marble stairs.
Everybody about the State House admired
Ettie, but it was with a respectful admiration,
end if a gruf legislator was tempted to jest with
the girl, or make light remarks. he was restrain
ed by the modest demeanor and pure soul-look
appealing from her heaven-blue eyes
Ettie always brought full basket and went
tripping home with empty one, and her scar
let silk purse filed with silver coin. She was
the sole dependence of widowed mother, and
her noble efforts to keep away want were known
and made the fruit from her basket ten times
sweeter.
When the great Union Meeting of the Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Ohio Legislators was
held in Ohios Capitol, the beautiful orange girl
was tripping about, dsposing of her fruit to the
SUNS VI LlAc GOutLI suu IeGeIhiu5 luc HOluaRe
of admiring gances from all.
At the end of the halls, viewing the noble
row of princely residences on Third street, stood
alone youthful member of the Tennessee Leg
islature, when he was startled with silvery
voice asking:
Buy an orange, sir ?"
How do you sell them?" said the stranger
looking into her eyes.
Five cents each" said the maiden, holding
large one towards him.
Cheap"
Indeed they are"
This Introduction opened the way for pro-
longed and serious conversation, in which the
girl artlessly revealed to the stranger the power
ty of her home, and the necessity of her support
ing her sick mother. He was so struck with
the girls manner and singular beauty, that he
secretly resolved to visit her home and become
more intimately acquainted. He did so and af-
ter successive visits, won the confidence and
love of the maiden, and her mothers consent to
their marriage and when he went back to his
Southern home it was with promise to return
in fortnight for his bride. He came, and now
the manly Southernor and the beautiful orange
girl are man and wife. He has taken her, the
fairest of the fair, to his Southern home, to
dwell with him and her aged mother in opu-
lence, the idol of her husband and blessing of
the whole neighborhood. What an nducement
for a constant supply of beautiful, vir;uous
orange girls.-Cm. Gaz.

MEETING II HE4vES.-A STAKEHOLDER in one Of
the Southern States died after long spell of
sickness, and being pious man, he arrived at
the gate of Heaven, and found he was preceded
few minutes by an abolitionst of the North, of
the same name, though stranger to him in this
world. The Apostle Peter had just let the Alb
olitionist into Heaven and the Shareholder who
stood without, awaiting his turn, was enchanted
and perfectly carried away with the sound of
angel voices, and sweet musical instruments
which were hailing the entrance of the Aboli-
zionist. Knocking in his turn, the Shareholder
was also admitted, but, instead of seraphic
sounds, silence reigned.
How is this p demanded the slave holder of
Peter, when an AboitionIst comes here, you
have music and singing, but when slave
holder comes you are silent"
The good old Apostle replied
" Shareholders come to Heaven every day,
whereas it is not once in ten years that an Abo-
litionist gains admission And besides" con-
tinued the Apostle, d" we rejoice more in Heaven
over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety
and nine just persons who need no repentance"

Indian Agent Killed.

The following dispatch was telegraphed from
Tehama on the 9TH inst:
Capt. II. L. Ford, Indian Agent, stationed at
Mendocino Reservation, was killed at Nome
Cult on Monday morning last, at o'clock, by
the accidental discharge of his pistol. 1t was

charged it somehow when putting on the mo-
chilas. The ball hit him in the neck and killed
him instantly. He had arrived at Nome Cult

To PRESERVE FRUIT AND FLowERs-Fruit and
flowers may be preserved from decay and fading
by immersing them in solution of Gum Arabic
and water two or three times, waiting a suf1i-
cient time between each immersion to allow the
gum to dry. This process covers the surface of
the fruit with thin coating of the gum, which
is entirely impervious to the air, and thus pre-
vents the decay Of the fruit or the withering of
the flower. To insure success in experiments of
this kind, it should be borne in mind that the
whole surface must be completely covered, for
If the air gains entrance the labor is lost. In
preserving specimens of fruit, particular care
should be taken to cover the stem, end and all,
with the gum. good way is to wind a thread
OF silk about the stem, and then sink it slowly
III the solution, which should not be so strong
as to leave particle of the gum undissolved-
The gum is so perfectly transparent that you
can with difficulty detect its presence except by
the touch.

THE CRoss-The following striking passage
is from Henry Ward Beecher's sermon preached
in the pulpit Of the Rev. Theodore Parker, at
Boston:
" The cross has twined around it every asso-
citation of dignity and beauty in the world. Not
one other thing has received from the fertile
minds and the all-fashioning hands of men of
genius SO many extrinsic beauties as the cross of
Christ Millions never hear OF it without
throb, nor see it without a gaaufiection. 1t
dawns upon the child in the cradle next to its
own mothers face, and il is the last thing from
which the light disappears when this child, in
old age, is dying. The cross is now as universal
and as beautiful to the associations and the
memories of men, as then it was rare, peculiar
and odious; it is that which now to us is not
only suggestive of a fact in Christs history, but
it is also memorial of two thousand years of
history. Around that simple crossword the
heart of the world has gathered for twenty
turies its stores of admiration, of love, of deyo-
ton.

A PATIENT TSToRY.-A capital joke is told on
well known steamboat captain, celebrated for
his patient endurance in accommodating the
people along the Sacramento river Boatmen
positively assert that no landing was too difficult
for him to make, to deliver five pounds of coffee,
receive order from an old lady for pound
of tea, to be delivered on his return trip. So
notorious did he become in this respect at length
that the good captain was actually imposed up
on, in some instances, to such degree that even
he has been heard to murmur at the mportun-
ties Of some of the Inhabitants along the river.
The most glaring instance of impudence that
we have heard of as being practieed on him,
anybody else, is said to have transpired be-
tween Knights Landing and Colusa, and as the
story goes was something after the following
order:
Elderly lady on shore halls the Steamboat
steamboat lands, when the folio wing conversa-
ton ensues:
"Well, Mrs. -, what can I do for you to-
day, madam 2"

The BOXERS (MARY AIMS FAMILY The late
Mr.. Boxer, of New York, disinherited his daugh-
ter, Mary Ann, who eloped with John Dean, the
coachman, but it seems that Mary Ann will be
pretty well of, anyhow. The Albany Statesman
says:
The statement that Mrs. Dean is poor is n
mistake. a deceased uncle left each of Boxers
four children $4,000. Mary Ann has already,
or shortly will have, that sum at her own dispo-
sal. Boxer left an estate valued at over $780,
600. He disinherted Mary Ann, and son, who
had always taken her part and thereby offended
the father. But it is understood that neither the
two children that were favored, nor the mother,
share in the sentiment of Boxer, and doubtless
the estate in the end will be about equ lily di-
vided. Mary AIMS only sister made very
similar match-marrying the porter in her ia
thers store. But he was German, and Boxer
had so much prejudice in favor of his country
men that he forgave the oifense."
