After Many Days.

Cast thy bread upon the waters for
thou shalt find it after many days"
Il wonder what it means ;" said
Hamilton Brent, half aloud, as he sat
looking into the bright anthracite, blaz-
ing with such pleasant light before
him. ''I'm quite sure that understand
what that man means when, after he
stopped me, asked for work, and looking
at his rags, | gave him something to do
in the lumber yard, more for humani-
tvs sake than the work, he took nv
warmly gloved hand in his cold one,
and repeated the scripture proverb that
M mother had so often taught me. I'm
sure was not casting bread" in the
sense | have always thought of it. Had
given poor man quarter, or poor
man some meat, it would have been
parallel case to this one. Both might
have remembered me for awhile, but
with numberless changes, the mercy of
my charity might not have returned to
bless me. The man may not come to
work, or if he does, only stay until he
gets little money, and then go to his
friends if he has any, and that may end
any relation We may at present or for
anv time sustain to each other
Thus in the heart Of the employer
the matter was laid to rest; but in
pair of other ones, the promise of work
bodins of many good things yet in store,
kept hope from growing feeble and sick
and then lying in despair. From the
House of Giles Davis-a home rendered
cherries now by want and suffering
went up many blessings for him who in
the darkest hour had befriended them,
and ] doubt whether the intelligence of
great fortune would have made that
young wife's heart lighter than did the
announcement of her husband. ITO
morrow, Ellen, l will have work-O, if
tomorrow were but here !"
Dreams, pleasanter than those that
for weeks had visited their pillow, came
to them that night, and before half of
his fellow laborers were thinking of their
daily task, Giles presented himself at the
Office door Of Hamilton Brent, to receive
bis share of the duties that fell to the
lot of the lumber dealer. Brent met
him at the door. His punctualitv, or

Friends.

We do not know how mnch we love
Until we colne to part,
How strong the tendrils are that bind
An object 10 the heart;
The tree beneath whose branches we
In infancy have strayed
The iowers-the friends of early youth,
With whom We often played.
Are things DER which We mourn and grie-e
In pleasure and in pain.
As memory brings them back to US
From out the past again.
We linger still amid the scenes
That we have loved 50 well
While recollections fond and pure
Within our bosoms swell
And to their shadows still we cling,
Even while they do depart;
For memories that we though, hid,
Come crowding on the heart,
And though the star Of hope may she'd
Its beums upon our way;
Yet farewell is bitter word
For those with friends-to say.

IMMENSE BREACH-LoADING GUN.-
The Pittsburg Chronicle says : "Some
months ago we noticed the construction
here Of steel breech loading gun, the
invention of Mr.. Mann, capable of be-
ing discharged with the most extraordi-
nary rapidity. The gun was taken to
Washington and gave such satisfaction
in its trial there, that Mr.. Mann was
commissioned to make one of the largest
size on the same principle. He has been
to work on the new piece for several
weeks, and it is now so near completion
that in very short time it will be rca-
dy for service. The new gun will throw
a ball of the elongated pattern, weigh
ing one hundred and fifty pounds, and
will, it is stated, have a range of some
four miles. 1t can be fired with ease,
and without the slightest danger, one
hundred times in as many minutes, and
is so simple in all its parts that it will
be almost impossible for it to get out of
order. 1t is the largest breech loading
gun ever made in America, and its trial
will be looked for with moro than ordi-
nary interest"

The Aged.

The aged and the faithful
They are passing TO their home;
Llfe's waning twilight darkens fast.
Its glorious day has flown
SIN pescefully and meekly,
They linger here to show
The angel foot t-prints shining Jet
Upon our path of woe,
To sing Of grace and sins forgiven
E'sn at the very gates Of Heaven.
Like green and mantling ivy
Ger an ancient ruin flung.
Is the holy faith so beautiful,
That keeps the spirit young.
The bright fresh moss Is wreathiag
Ger the gravestones old chill,
And the fair flowers look up lovingly
In the church yard on the bill.
Bat better than these blessed things
The radiant hope religion brings.
The armchair by the iireside,
seem to see it now
And the gray locks smothed so carefully,
Across the placid brow.
The calm blue eyes, the basy hands,
The ever cheerful smile,
The oft-told tale Of other times
The long hours to beguile
wish were a child as then,
To list n Sc stories Ger again.
Yonng voices ring out gaily;
Young steps are light and free
But the trembling footsteps of old age
Seem dearer far to me.
never hear the voice that faters,
Or look on 4 care-Norn face,
But think how near the pilgrim draws
To his blest resting place
And think how glorious heaven must be
To those whove lived so righteoasly.
Deal kindly with the aged,
The faithful and the true,
As they, through years Of helplessness.
Have kindly cared for you.
Bear gently all their failings.
For clear aad bright as thine.
Was once the mind whose light is dimmed-
The scathei end time worn shrine
Think what may ye. be dde to thee,
And deal with them. thus reyerently.

A sHREwD old gentleman once said
to his daughter, ''Be sure, my dear, that

has money and nothing else." There
is much truth in this, and we recon-
mend it to the ladies'.

REMAINS OF EXTINCT SPECIEs.-The
fossil bones of pigmy species of ele-
plant have been found in the caves of
Malta, and described by Captain Spratt
of the British Navy. This species Of
elephant when full grown could not have
been larger than a lion or a tiger. All
the bones were firmly ossi6ed, and when
contrasted with those of the ordinary
elephant, they were seen to be remark
ably disproportionate in size. Bones of
the young of the pigmy elephant were
likewise found, and when it is stated
that the milk teeth of this creature
were not much larger than human mol
ars, all idea can be formed of its small
size. The tusks of the pigmy elephant
were about foot long. IN the same
caves were found bones of a gigantic
swan. three or four times larger than the
present known swan, and also the bones
Of a gigantic species of dormouse.

a Touching Scene.

Cincinnati, in his late report, relates
the following:
| Leaving the omnibus one day, and
feeling for the sidewalk with my staff,
| woman voice inquired:

"Quite blind"
"Wen, here's the side walk; but can

"Well, you are good at guessing; but

A MAN OF BoNE.-Here is curious
fact for you. The flesh of living man
once grew into bone. 1t seems hard to
believe, but we suppose it was so; for
in the museum at Dublin, there is, or
w~s, the skeleton of one Clark, a native
of the city of Cork, whom they ca led
the ossifed man, one of the greatest Gu
riosities of nature. 1t is the carcas Of
man entirely ossi6ed in his life time,
living in that condition for several years.
Those who had known him before this
surprising alteration, affirm that he was
man of great strength and agility
He felt the first symptoms of this sur
prlsing change some time after de-
bauch, till, by slow degrees, every part
grew into bony substance, except his
skin, eyes and intestincs his joints
settled in such manner that no liga-
ment had its proper operation; he could
not lie down or rise up without assist
ance. He had at last no bend in his
body, yet when he was placed upright,
like stone, he could stand, bat could
not move in the least. His teeth we're
joined, and formed into one ertire bone;
therefore, a hole was broken through
them to convey liquid sustenance for his
nourishment. The tongne lost its use,
and his sigh. left him some time before
he expired.

ELEVENTH vOLUmE--EUMBER s1s.

G. At half-past o'clock p. m two boats ap.
preached us from below, one bearing an answer
from the Admiral to my note to him of the 4th.
This answer is annexed, marked d. The other
boat bore the answer of 1t Col. w. ii. Ludlow to
my note of the 4th, addressed to the officer in
command at Fort Monroe. A copy of this is
annexed, marked Il. Lieut-Col Ludlow also came
up in person in the boat that brought his answer
to me, and conferred with Col. Ould, on board the
Torpedo, upon some matters he desired to see him
about in connection with tho exchange Of prisoners
From the papers appended, embracing the cor
respopdenee referred to, it will be seen that the
mission failed from the refusal of the enemy TO
receive or entertain it, holding the proposition for
such conference ''inadmssible."
The influences and views that led to this de-
termination after so long a consideration of the
SUBJECT must be left to conjecture. The reason
assigned Tor the refusal by the United States Sec
retary OF War, to-wit: that "the customary agents
aud channels are considered adequate for all
necdful military communications and conferences
to one acquainted with the facts, seems not onlv
unsatisfactory, but very singular and unaccounta.
BILE; for it is certainly known to him that these
agents, to whom he evidently audes heretofore
agreed upon in former conference in reference to
the exchange of prisoners, Gone Of the subjects
embraced in your letter to me,) are now, and have
been for some time, distinctly at issue on several
these disagrcements, is virtually suspended so far
as the exchange Of officers either side is con-
cerned. Notices of retaliation have been given
on both sides.
The effort, therefore, for the very many and
cogent set forth in your letter of instruc
ons to ME, to see if these differences could not be
removed, and if clearer understanding between
the parties as to the general conduct Of the war
could not be arrived at before this extreme meas
should be resorted to by either party, was no
less in accordance with the dictates of humanity
than in strict conformity with the usages of bel
ligerents in modern times. Deeply impressed as l
was with these views and feelings in undertaking
the mission, and asking the conference, can but
express my profound regret at the result of the
effort made to obtain it; and | can but entertain
the belief that if the conference sought had
been granted, mutual good could have been effect
ed by it; and if this war, unnatural, so unjust,
so unchristian, and inconsistent with every
fundamental principle of American constitutional
liberty, "must needs" continue TO be waged against
us, that at least somo of its severe horrors which
now SO eninenty threaten, might have been
avoided. Very respectfully,
ALEXANDER Ii. STEPHENS.
