No earthly scenes, though e'er 50 finely
Can charm The vision Of exalted thought.

OF scenes Of beauty charted on the mind,
Where, in unriyaled loneliness, appears
The spirit landscape Of the inner spheres;
Where poesy sheds upon the ields Of sense
Sweet ideal flowers OF wit aid eioquence;
And mountain thought looks up to genius, high
Enthroned upon the clouds Of virtues sky;
Where. softly as q summer rainbow, seems
The blending colors Of Affections beams;
And, bright as stars that gem the brow Of night,
Resplendent aspiration sheds her light;
Aud love and truth and holy, high resolve,
Within their orbits gracefully revolFe;
And through the system Of religion roll
Around the center the inspired soul.

More than the terrestrial views Of richest dye
And loFeiierfsT than earth and sea combined,

How They Keep Hotel IN Dixie.
A Southern traveller gives the following
item from his experiences

item from his experiences
Mike has made several important dis
coveries in his recent raid through the
Southwest. He says he has just found out
what a private. hotel" is. He has found
several Of them in his travels, and they
are certainly very peculiar institutions.
he says their bells and gongs make as
much clstter as if there was really some
thing on the table to call the public; but
when one gets there he sees nothing but
empty plates. Presently the walters will
be seen dispensing different articles Of
proVender--pretty generally to the militia
ry gentlemen with the stars and bars on
their collars. and when you ask them TO
give you some o thst what that feller's
got," the waiter will look at you Just az q
farodesler does when he nrakes down your
pile" looks as if he "ohawed" you, and
innocently says:
"Thsts private sir !"
Then you look around to see what else
might you taste, and you see another chap
with eggs. You think, "Well eggs are
common enough, dear knows"
Well, give me some eggs, then"
Dems private, too, sir. De genman
Iotch EN- mere and We cook EN- for hin" "
Give me some potatoes thsu 1 sup
pose they are not private" l said, loud
enough to sttraot all the eyes around the
table.
ayes, massa, denis private, TOO; but 1
can give you some corn bread, an here's
some corn bread"
"Give me some of that butter, you
black rascal" l said, aggravated, as in
deed 1t should make anybody feel who was
paying eight dollars day for board.
Well, msssa, clare, massa, dst's pri-
vate too Here's some ssltP'
Spying another niger, motioned him
to me, thinking would slip Bribe into
his fingers and possibly get some of the
private dishes. He came reluctantly, and
as extended my hand with promise in
1t, he stopped and said in a low tone /;
H Use private servant. maes~ 4"
This capped the climax, aad l determin-
ed to finish my usual meal Of corn dodger
and salt, and take the next train for a
change.

| SURGICAL REPORT FRoN TIE LONDON LANCET
Those who know what severe training
means viii, perhaps, agree with Us that
Heensn was probably in better condition
five weeks before meeting his antsgoniss
than he was on the morning Of his defeat,
although when he stripped for fighting the
lockers on all agreed that he seemed to
promise himself an easy victory, while ez-
ultng IN his fneprop ortioHs and splendid
muscular development. 1t is now clearly
proved that Heenan went into the contest
with much moro muscular than vital pow
er. Long before be had met with any Sc
we're punishment-indeed, as he states at
the third round-he felt faint breathed
with much difficulty, and, as he describes
II, his respiration was "roaring.n BE de-
clares that he received more severe treat
ment at the hands Of Sayers than he did
from King; yet at the termination Of the
former fight, which lasted upwards Of two
hours, he was go fresh as to leap over two
hurdles, and distance many of his friends
in the race. It was noticed on the present
occasion that his physigHs had deteriorated,
and that he looked much older than at his
last appearance in the ring. Without OF
fering any opinion as to the merits Of the
contestants, it is certain that Keenan, was
in state Of very deteriorated health when
he feced his opponent, and it is fair to con-
olude thai deterioration was due in great
measure to the severity Of the training
which he had undergone. As with the
mind, go with the body, undue and pro-
Ionged exeriion must end in depression Of
power. In the process Of the physical ed
uoation of the young, in the training Of
our recruits, or in the sports Of the athlete,
the case Of Heensn suggests striking
commentary of great interest in physio-
logical point Of view. While exercise,
properly so called, tends to developement
and health, excessive exertion produces
debility and decay. In these times Of
over-excitsment and oVer-eompetition in
the race for life, the case We now put upon
record may be studied with advantage.

The MOaey Phasss of Coin and Paper.

The MOsey Phases of Coin and Paper.
1t is a rather curious fact that the only
coin now in current use on the continent,
which is not round, is the fifty dollar gold
piece struck for Cslifornis, which is Gotta
gonal in shape. All the coins IN Europe
are round. In Japan they have oblong
wedges Of silver. It is curious, toe, that
for many years money has been made out
of paper, when leather or cloth would
seem to be much more durable. Yet pa
per, when representing coin lasts great
while, and not unfrequently the Bank Of
England receives q note Of extraordinary
age; and the Bank Of Bengal, in India,
recently was called upon 70 pay several
thousand pounds Of notes SO old that none
Of the present generation remembered the
pattern.
1t is also worthy Of remark, that gems
OF precious stones have never been used
for money, nor has platinum or any other
metal taken the place Of gold. In Africa
species Of shell forms the circulating
medium, the value Of which fuctusies
sometimes twenty per cent. week. But
all civilized countries have gold as the
standard Of money value, and sll other
circulating medium is but representative
Of the great standard. Only the Hindoo
has ever learned to test coin accurately by
the hand.
OF all gold coinsge, that Of England is
perhaps the most beautiful A new, fresh
gold sovereign is probably ss grseeful and
attractive coin as exists. Next to it, the
American Eagle is the most elegant gold
coin.
The most beautiful coinage is that Of
Russia, each piece being in itself a work
of art, so finely and elaborately is the die
cut On the other hand the ugliest silver
coinage is that Of the free city Of Ham
burg; each piece, sdultersted and poorly
cut is usually to be found encrusted with
dirt and filth, and looking like 6 refuse
fragment Of tin.
Perhaps the nestest paper money in the
world is that Of Greece, which is manu-
factured by American engFavers and
Horkmen. The old bank currency Of this
country is often very elegant. The worst
and most wretched paper money in the
world is the hve-kreutEer note Of Austria
printed on q soft, thick, grayish paper
which has faculty Of washing and rub
bing away like ordinary blotting paper
But nearly as bsd is the postal currency
with which, for our sins, We are nov
afflicted He who steals 8 purse full o.

An effsrt viii be made the present ses-
sion Of Congress to increase the rate Of
pensions now paid TO invalid and wounded
soldiers, and their widows and children, in
case Of death. The present rate is only
So per month for privates, for the highest
degree Of disability, where man has lost
an arm or 9 leg, and unable to earn his
living. This rate inoluded the full pay Of
a private soldier, per month, when the Law
was passed, but now privates receive SIS
while the pension remains the same, al
though the value Of money hssdepreciated
80 per cent since the law WAS passed. The
same inequality exists with regard TO pen
sions to widows Of deceased oE6esrs.
