Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat is six thousand feet higher
than Mount Blanche latter the point of the
greatest elevation In Europe 1t is detached
from other mountains of Armenia and is divi
ded into two conical peaks Sir Robert Por
ter paints in glowing colors the magnificence
of the spectacle when he first came in sigh
Of Ararat, majcstically rising from wide ex
tended, green PLAIN, fertilzed by the clear
waters Of the Aars, (the ancient Araxes,) and
covered with Armenian villages In various
points of view the summit has striking re
semblance to ship; fact which has beer
recorded by all travellers to the spot, and the
whole country around is full of traditionary
stories in reference to Noahs ark and the
flood
1t is common belief among the Armenians
and Pcrsians that the remains of the ark still
exist on the summit Several attempts have
been made to reach the top of the mountain,
but rarely have any such attempts succeeded.
Moving sands which threaten to overwhelm
the traveller; and finty roads, which cut his
shoes to threads terrible precipices; with over
hanging rocks; and above all, nests of snakes
constantly struck terror into the stoutest heart,
and in nearly all cases induced an abandon
ment of the enterprise. At Erivan, the Ar
menians show the spot where he first planted
the vine and the town of Nakhowan, (place
of the descent) is believed to mark the spot
where the patriarch first settled on quitting
the ark.

To Europe in u Week.

1t is stated that company of the leading
ship owners of New. York have under consid-
Grafton plans for building four magnificent
vessels, of eight thousand tons each, to be
propelled by engines of two thousand five
hundred horse power, working two paddle
wheels of the usual kind, and two screw pro-
pellers-so that, in case of the arrangement
of either set of machinery, the other set shall
continue working without material impedi-
ments i'll the speed of the vessel.
These vessels are to be capable of carrying
$500 passengers at the variable fares of $25,
$50 Or 1915, according to amount of accom-
modation required, between that City and
Bristol, England Meals are to be furnished
on board the same as at any restaurant, and
passengers can either cat or let it alone, as it
may please them. The passage to Europe,
it is believed, at eighteen miles an hour, will
be made in seven days, while the great length
of the vessels (nearly six hundred feeD will
overreach or materially control the waves, and
prevent that terrible pitching motion that is
more Or less the dread of all sea-going trav-
elers.

To Farmers Who Think,

The farmers home is to great extent q
community within itself, and its inmates must
seek for their information for themselves
hence, the farmers family is bound to read,
because it has not the opportunity of the city,
or town, where the lecture-room the court,
the walking takers, the numerous churches
the rapid movements of trade, etc., supply to
some extent, the place of reading.
The farmer himself is bound to read, be-
cause his interests are involved with interest
of the state and county which are constantly
doing something which affects him and his
children, and it is the newspaper-the politi-
cal newspaper-which informs him, if he will
read, of the changes of the laws of his state
and county, as well as the time when the
officers and the courts act upon these laws
This is information which he must have, his
own welfare compels him to have it, and if he
does not take the paper containing this infor-
nation, he must borrow from his neighbor,
or else ride to the county seat and ask for the
news Whereas, when he takes paper he
has the information in print, together with
large amount of other interesting matter
His journey to the county-seat if he wants
any information, must cost him his time, and
not less than half a dollar, while his paper at
$3.50 per year. will cost him less than five
cents per week-less than his tobacco, less
than his cigars, less than any thing he buys
or can buy. Yet we have men scodng about
the price of a newspaper.
Now, we would like you to ask any man,
especially farmer, how he can get the same
amount of information which he needs, and
the same amount of amusement for his chill
dren, for Jfre cents per week, that he can get
in his own political county newspaper 1t
can't be done. 1t is the best and cheapest
friend that enters the farmers door. Will
not those farmers who know this to be a fact,
endeavor to impress this upon their neighbors,
who do not consider the matter 2-Clarke

Flock.

The Stockholm correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Advertiser gives an account Of
the depravity Of clergyman, that is shocking
in the extreme.
M. Lindback was pastor of Silbrool, small
parish in one of the most beautiful valleys OF
the Province of Wermland, Sweden, NJ Lysen
retired merchant boarded at the parsonage,
and having suddenly died, suspicion at last
was excited, and thirty days after his death
he was disinterred, and in his stomach the
fatal arsenic was found. 1t was then remem-
bercd that two other persons had died of the
same symptoms, one of whom was a widow
seventy-four years of age named Coria Huken.
A son of this widow, had long been in bad
health, and often taking from Lindback the
sacrament, was seized with vomiting, and the
contents elected was found to contain arsenic.
He finally recovered, and was witness in
the preliminary investigation No other mo-
tive than to rid the parish of poor persons
could be discovered except in the case of the
retired merchant. In this case, soon after
his death, the pastor produced an agreement,
though it was not signed, by which the heirs
of Mr. Lysen was to pay him 10000 six-thalcrs
for his board. This it.was discovered, was not
the first crime the pastor had committed, for
about thirty years before, being betrothed to
rich farmers daughter, he succeeded in
getting from him, before payment, a receipt
for the purchase money Of some land he had
bought, soon after which the farmer died
from poison, and the daughter was deprived
of her inheritance While in prison, Lind
back attempted to commit suicide, but his
purpose was fustrated.

My Misfortune.
BY FORDYCE GRINNELL.

I was happy man ono day,
Tho happiest of men,
When 1 took home my Evelyn May,
For VIC were welded then.
1 loved her moro than all Of earth,
Or all contained therein
Unless it was fine black beard
1 wore upon my chin.
But sorrow came within the cot,
Pleasure did from me flee,
Instead of happiness came Voc
Sorrow instead Of glcc.
From morn till night count tho hours
And clouded is my brow;
/ was happy man that day,
/ ON not happy now.
Horror doth fill my bosom when
The tale l would repeat,
My blood runs cold-and refrain
How short those hOursl how fleetl
dreamed wo had backing brush
Twas ncw-just came from store
But instead of bristles on this brush,
With beard twas covered o'er.
Other strange visions filled my mind
But ut last took to see;
Alas, that all my visions wild,
We're sad reality.
l half walked up, my eyes woro blcarcd,
But hororl oh chagrin!
went to stroke my heavy beard
Found nothing there but chin.
How could T sorrow now rcfrain?
How could cease to weep?
My wife had cut my whiskcrs off,
When l was sound asleep.

soul seemed to hang on theburning tongue of
the stranger, he inspired them with the pow
er of his malignant passions; he seemed to
have stolen the natures long hidden secret Of
attraction. But his greatest triumph was to
come.
His eyes began to glance at the assassin
Hopkins, as his lean taper fingers assume the
same direction. He hemmed the wretch with
wall of strong evidence and impregnable
argument, cutting off all hope Of escape
He dug beneath the murderers feet bitches
Of dilemma, and held the slanderer up to

dreadful to behold the orator. His actions
became as impetuous as the motion OF an oak
in hurricane. His voice became trumpet
filled with wild whirlpools, deafening the ear
with the crashes of power, and yet intermin-
gled all the while with sweet undersong of
the softest cadence. His forehead glowed
like heated furnace, his countenance was
haggard, like that of a maniac and ever and
anon he flung his long bony arms on high as
if grasping after thunderbolts.
He drew picture of murder in such ap-
palling colors that in comparison hell itself
might be considered beautiful; he painted the
slanderer so black that the sun seemed dark
at MONDAY, when shining on such an accursed
monster, and then fixing both portraits on the
shrinking Hopkins, fastend them there forev-
er. The agitation of the audience nearly
amounted to madness.
All at once the speaker descended from the
pcrilous hight His voice walled out for the
murdered dead and living-thc beautiful Ma
ry more beautiful every moment as her tears
flowed faster-till men wept and sobbcd like
children
He closed by strange exhortation to the
jury, and through them to the bystanders; he
advised the panel, after they should bring in
u verdict for the plaintiff not to offer violence
to the defendant however richly he might de-
serve it; in other words not to lynch the vii
lain, but leave his punishment to God This
was the most artful trick of all, and best cal
culated to ensure vengeance.
The jury returned verdict Of fifty thous-
and dollars and the night afterwards Hopkins
was taken out of bed by lynchers, and beaten
almost to death. AS the court adjourned,
the stranger said-"John Taylor will preach
here this evening at early candle light" He
did preach-and the house was crowded. l
have listened to Clay, Webster and Calhoun
to Dwight, Bascom and Beecher-but new
er heard anything in the form of sublime
words even remotely approximating to the ell
oquence of John Taylor. Massive as noun
tain, and wildly rushing as cataract of fire.

mind we will be reminded Of each other, and
of the friendly relations that have so long ex-

the part we have borne in thisgreat struggle
when we can say with truth that in the dark
est hours of the history of our country we en-
listed, and re-enlisted. Our sears and shat
tered limbs will show that our blood has
flowed freely in the cause. But in our re-
joicings at soon meeting our friends, let us
not forget our absent Comrades, many of
whom are yet suffering in hospitals from
severe wounds. But how many more, whose
suferings are over, sleep beneath the sod of
those battle-fells of Virginia, already SO re-
nowned in history. Their absence on this
happy day speaks more cloquently to our
hearts of the sacrifices made for free govern
ment than the bronzed veterans that consti-
tute our ranks Go, then, my comrades, to
your homes, families and friends that have so
long waited to greet you. "You deserve well
of your country" am glad that l served
with you until the close of the war, and what
ever may be our fortunes, shall not cease to
feel a deep interest in your welfare and your
reputation; and if my orders could last longer
than the few hours that we are to be together,
would say, be as faithful, kind and forbear-
ing to your wives, families and sweethearts as
you have been to your officers and comrades.
BE as alert and suspicious of those that would
seduce you from the path Of honesty, tempe
rance and industry, as if they were the scouts
of the enemy. Serve your God with as much
energy and zeal as you have served your coun-
try and your last days will be your best days.
