was made to pay IS cents costs by Justice alter.
tits believed from the manner in which the men,
women, and children operate on the coal hunks
at the depot, that the owners will be deprived Of
ton at each visit Of the crowd. In order to break
up the gang, Roundsman Cronin has obtained
warrants for eleven others who were seen taking

NATURE AND ART.-Upon examining
the edge of very keen razor with a mi-
croscopo, it will appear like the back of
a thick knife, rough, uneven, full of notch
es and furrows. An exceedingly small
needle resembles a rough iron bar. But
the sting Of bee seen through the same
instrument, exhibits everywhere polish
most amazingly beautiful without the
least flaw, blernish or inequality, and it
ends with point too fine to be discerned.
A small piece of exceedingly fine lawn
appears through the microscope like a
hurdle of lattice, and the thread appears
coarser than the yarn with which ropes
are made for anchors. Bat silkworm's
web appears perfectly smooth and shin
ing, and everywhere equal. The small
lest dot that can be made with pen,
when viewed with the microscope, ap-
pears irregular, rough, jagged, and un-
even. But the little specks on the wings
or bodies Of insects are found to be most
accurately circular. So great is the con-
trast between God and man.

The Young DYING SOLDIER
" Bring me my knapsack," said young
soldier who lay sick in one Of the hospi-
tails at Washington. Bring me my
knapsack."
"What do you want Of your knapsack "
inquired the head lady of the band OF nur-
ses.
Il want my knapsack," again said the
young man.
His knapsack was brought to him, and
as he took it his eye cleaned with pleas
ure, and his face was covered all over
with a smile as he brought out from it his
hid treasures.
There" said he, 'lhat is bible from
my mother. And this-Washington's
Farewell Address-is the gift from my
father. And this"-his voice failed.
The nurse looked down TO see what it
was, and there was the face of beauti'
ful maiden.

- want you to put all these under my
pillow" She did as be requested, and
then the poor young soldier laid him
down on them to die, requesting that they
should be sent to his parents when he
was gone. Calm and joyful was he dy-
ing. 1t was only going FROM night to

Sow BARLEY AND BUCKwuEAT.-
Buckwheat need not be sown until July,
but barley usually succeeds well when
sown early in June. Besides, barley
forms a pretty good substitute for wheat,
in case that crop is cut off or is in demand
at extra prices. Who is not fond OF a
good, light, warm, barley loaf-and of
buckwheat cakes =? How would it work
to have barley, buckwheat, and garden
truck enough TO about support the family
from six to ten months, and sell all the
wheat and corn and most of the beans,
and pay up the debts of the farm and at
the stores this year.

SCENERY OF NORWAY.

Whilst travelling the Norman country
there was nothing that struck me more
than the character of its streams, rivers
and waters. Norway is, in peculiar
sense, {" the land Of waters" 1t abounds
in little riyulets, stealing through the hills
with colorIess tinge with speed as
swift as a roe, and with a voice as melo-
dious as is found in our own beloved
lands. 1t abounds in cataracts-not like
those in our country, which generally
lurk in quiet corners, and are hid in the
foliage, and require to be sought after by
the traveller. The waterfalls Of Norway,
On the other hand, are naked-not ASH
amed. They hurry over their waters by
the side of the very path along which
you tread. They scatter their spray up
on the very head of the traveller. Occa-
sionally their waters appear like mist,
and become almost invisible till they
reach the bottom Of the fall, where they
are seen solidifed once more, and become
tame torrents, flowing with almost gen
tie motion. The number, too, is i'm
mense; so much so, that in some places
every mile you see new cataract. And
thus one hundred banks are head, like
the voice Of many waters" speaking to
the echoing hills. Their country, too,
abound5 in salt lakes, winding in immense
distances from the sea into the interior,
and surrounded with hills and mountains
incompatible in number and distinguish
ed by shadowy majesty, rising, for the
most part angel-like, and covered on their
SUBMITS with everlasting snow. But
around the whole of that mighty noun
tain land-for Norway is just one vast
mountain, covering space as large as
Great Britain and Ireland put together
around all that mountain-land, from its
southernmost to its nOrthernmost points,
there appears the expanse of the ocean,
excepting at one particular place, where
it is connected with Sweden. Never did
waves billow and toss and tumble with a
more demoniac and terrific rage than
around that ocean and upon that coast
Thus that country is full within and is
guarded without by the most varied mel
ody and pomp and power Of waters
some of which are smooth summer
streams, whilst others are wild in wintry
wrath; some cleav;ng precipices, with a
voice of thunder, and others bearing down
upon their bosoms heaps of timber to the
deep; some spreading themselves out in
broad and placid lakes, compared to which
our own Loeb Lomond is but a pond /;
whilst others, like thousand fends, rush
screaming around the cliffs, as if TO try
and check the rage Of the Insulated ocean.

VICTOR EMANUEL AND ALEXANDER DUMAS
The following sketch of the King of Sar-
dinia, from the pen of Alexander Dumas,
appears in the independents, of Naples:
"Victor Emanuel, who looks like man of
abont forty years of age, is frank, sincere,
vigorous, temperate, an early riser, and
keen sportsman with gun and dog. He bears
the tatigues of a long days shooting better
than any of the most active mountaineers,
and he generally starts out on such eXcur-
sions before sunrise. Previous to starting
he makes a very light breakfast, merely
ii piece of bread and slice of cold meat or
cheese, which he eats like peasant, without
sitting at table; hu he always makes hearty
dinner, laying aside al. etiquette, without
court or chamberlans.
''On Sunday. the day of general receptions
at the palace, the doors are thrown open at
eleven O'Clock, and everybody who feels
disposed may enter till then. If any person
desires private audience, he must apply by
letter, and on the morrow, or following day,
he will surely obtain it, for Victor Emanuel
opens all his letters himself
