The CRoss.-The following striking pas
sage is from Henry Ward Beecher's sermon,
preached in the pulpit of the late Theodore
Parker at Boston:
"The cross has twined around it every
association of dignity and beauty in the
world Not one other thing has received
from the fertile minds and the all-fashioned
hands Of men of genius, so many extrinsic
beauties as the cross Of Christ. Millions
never hear of it without throh, nor see it
without genufection. 1t dawns upon the
child in the cradle next to its own mothers
face, and it is the last thing from which the
light disappears when the 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, pecul-
lar and odious it is that which now to us
is not only suggestive of fact in Christs
history, but is also memorial of two thou
sand years of history. Around that simple
crossword the heart of the world has gath
cred for twenty centuries its stores OF adml-
ration, Of love, of devotion"

SAMUEL SWIFES,
THE UNIVERSAL GENIUS, AND HIS INTERNAL
MACHINE.

| have come across a natural genius--a
long, slab-sided Yankee, who believes him
self destined to be one of the greatest, if not
the greatest inventors of the age He
scorns to take advantage of others expe-
rience, and has perfect contempt for sciell-
tiGc book knowledge, believing that true
greatness can only be achieved by practical
experiment, and tracing cause and effect.
In pursuit Of his many projects, he has been
times innumerablc has he been blown up and
blown down, burnt, scalded, cut and maim-
ed; and still, laboring and sweating, exhaust
ing his time and resources, he always be-
lieves he is about to perfect an invention that
will astonsh the world and aGd immensely
to the fame of his country's genius. The
following is an account of one Of his earliest
experiments in gunpowder, as have it
from his own lips:
II discovered in dads shop piece Of
brass about the size and shape of coffee.
pot, with hole as big as a dollar drilled in
the little end and near through to the butt
What a splendid opportunity to test the ex
plosive power of gunpowder! / was pretty
sure dad would want that piece Of brass
but no matter, Science claimed it as her tril.
ute, and into the lathe it went. After drill
ing small printing hole, l cut deep
thread Oh the inner edge Of its mouth, and
fitted a solid brass screw plug thereto. The
Internal machine was now ready, and cal
culated some day soon to hear from it. A
pound of gunpowder, and dad in the meet
ing-house was oil / waited for, and fortune
favored me with both on the following
Sunday"
GAS I remarked before, feeling sarti'
that dad would want that piece Of brass,
took the precaution to set it by the wood
pile, and by the aid of crow-bar to rol
about cord of back-logs on it. Well, l fret
the match, and ran around the corner of tn
barn. had to wait but minute, and then
oh, thunder!-no, the tallest kind of thun
der is no comparison; / will not attempt t.
describe the report Of that explosion, but
will tell you some of the effects The wood
pile was turned clean inside out, and la.
spread around hole in the ground, like th
spokes In hub, the smoke curling up tn
nole' the sod was torn and scorched; the oil
mouse settled on its foundation several inch
es, ana every pane Of glass and all the sar
sers naa gone to smash. Why, all natu
was convuised for mile around, and as tn
reverberation tore down through the vale
the effect was terrific? the fowls few souawk
ing to the barn yards; the beasts Of tn
field ran holloing and suorting, and kickiu
up dust, like full train of cars over q sar
dy piece of road; little children awok,
screaming from their slumbers, and the oil,

ping into the middle of the shop confronted
me thus:
"Samuel, there was large piece of
brass in the shop, want it-now"
There was no getting over Dads requests !;
he had such peculiarly touching way Of
enforcing them. so said:
"Yes, dad, calculated you would want
that piece of brass, and if you will follow
me, l will show it to you" So, walking to
the hole, pointed down its mouth and ad-
ded, "you will find it right down there"

piled dad, throwing the whip into the OK
cart, g See if you know enough to keep
your mouth shut"
OF course didysand the result was that
within week after, the Hartford Insurance
Company cashed over $500 to repair DANA

In due time the Professor published his
Report, consisting of Ss7 pages, treating of
remarkable natural phenomena in general,
and the Moscott Valley Midday Meteor
Explosion in particular. 1t was chock full

so deep that nobody could understand it
with an occasional dash Of Latin and Greek.
The Professors report would never have
caused hundredth part the noise in the
world that mine did, had it not been for an
accident that happened this wise: The
head Professor of Harvard charged our Pro-
fessor Of Cambridge with having wrongfuly
used an accented letter in Greek word

The NEXT RooM.-It has been Mace
Sloper's luck to be very frequently quartered
in rooms with nothing but door betwixt
his room and his neighbours; and whenever
this happened he has been pretty generally
about as certain to hear, willing Or unwilling,
considerable that wasn't spoken to him. Par
ticularly when girls were in the next room!
Not giving myself credit for any special
'cuteness, can't brag Of ever having got up
any wise theory on the subject; but it does
seem to me that the queerest, widest, and
most amazing speeches 1 ever heard in all
my life from mortal lips, always came from
people I couldn't see. Moreover-and ev-
erybody will agree with me, if he'll rake out
his own experience o little--I maintain that
no two people can talk in the dark to one
another as they do in the light. Report
such talk and read it to them, and they'll
as soon believe that they've been talking In
jun. That's so?
Which reminds Mace Sloper of talk be
