SrRAY TloUours. TO confound wealth with
happiness, Is to mistake the means for tho end.
You might as well fancy that . kniIo and fork
would give you an appetite. The smallest
compliment we receive from another confsrs
moro pleasure than the biggest compliment VIC
nay to ourselves Most fashions are ridicu.
lous, but one is obliged 70 tumble into the rid.
icule TO avoid appearing still more ridiculous,
Looks should not bo wholly beneath the con.
sideraton Of my man. Natnrc does not dis.
dain them. Nothing Is omitted that can On.
hance its beauty. Everything Is grouped and
arranged with the most consumuatc skill, and
with the direct and manifest object Of pleasing
exterior vision. The man, therefore, who play
tho philosopher on the strength Of ncglecsing
his attire, and who hopes that tho world will
rate tho superiority OF his intellect in direct
ratio with the infercrity Of his hat, Is no phil
osopher at all, because tho truly wise man
thinks from Nature through himself. r'ft

,"GooD.BY, OLD ARx."-In the hospital at
Nashville, short timo ago, q wounded hero
was lying on the amputating table, under the
influence OF cbloroform. They cut of his
strong right arm and cast It, oil bleeding, upon
the pile Of human limbs. Then they laid him
gently upon his couch. He woke from his stu.
por and missed his arm. With his left arm he
lifted the cloth, and thsre was nothing but the
CORY stump! "whcre's my armr' he cried I;
'get my arm (; want to see It once more-my
strong right arm" They brought II to him.
He took bold Of tho cold, clammy fingers, and,
looking steadiastly at tho poor dead member,
thus addressed It with fearful earnostness -
"Good by, old arm. We have been . long
time together. We must part now. GOod-by,
old arm. You'll never Gre another carbine nor
swing another sabor for the Government, - and
the tears rolled down his checks. He then said
to those standing by:-"Undcrstand, I don't
regret It's loss. II has been torn from my body
that not one State should be torn from this
glorious Union" He might have added; yvsa
''somc things are worthless, some others so good
That nations that buy them pay only In blood,
For Freedom and Union each man owes his part
And here pay my share, all warm nom my heart"
That is what that man gave. What Is your
share and mine?-Chaplain McCdbe. ''

A Wonderful Bolt of Lightning.

The people OF Jacksonville, and vicinity,
bave experienced one OF the most won.
derlul shocks of lightning ever known in
Vermont, and one which will long be re.
membered. One evening during heavy
shower, the denizens of that locality were
started by shock of lightning that shook
the earth for miles, like an earthquake.
Glass was broken from windows at the
distance Of three miles; houses trembled
like an aspen leaf; glass jingled from win
dows; crockery ratlled; women screamed:
in fact, every one seemed 10 think for the
moment that the very roof over their
heads, il not themselves, were 10 be made
ITS victims. About one-half mile from
Jacksonville can be seen its effects, which
are acknowledged TO be marvellous works
Of wonder. A trench or gulf is opened
in the earth upward Of one hundred feet
in length. Seventy feet of this trench is
from fveto seven feet wide at the surface,
and from three, to four feet deep. This
was dry. solid earth, compac. with stone
and gravel, and interviewer with roots.
Earth and stone were thrown to an enor-
nous height, covering the ground far and
near for many rods; large rocks were ta'
ken from their bed and thrown consid-
cradle distance; large trees were nearly
uprooted, and smaller ones completely
removed, and turfwas lodged in the tall
est trees. Several large stones were
found bedded deep in the earth ten rods
or more from their former station, one, in
particular, weighing twenty pounds, be-
ing thrown to such height that its re-
turning force bedded it to the depth Of
three or four feet.

ea-There is trouble among tho min

G1-There is trouble among the miners of
schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. Some
time since the operators of tho mines re.
duced the wages of the minors, when thew
struck, and have not boon at work for six
weeks. Approhending violence, the opera
tors requested the presence of troops, and
the 202d Pennsylvania Regiment was sent
to the mines. No actual outbreak has oc-
Cured but an inclined plano has been sot
on fire oy the minors, and several of the op-
orators received threatening letters. A cor.
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
from whose account we condense the above,
says il is assorted by tho miners that the
object OF tho operators is to run coal up to
big price, and that their request for troops
has only been made to cover their real de-
signs Oh tho market.

CURE FOR In GROWING NALs.-It is
stated that cauterization by hot tallow is an
immediate cure for in growing nails. Put a
small piece of talow in spoon, and heat
it over lamp until it becomes very hot and
drop two or threo drops between nail and
granulations. The effect is almost magical
Pain and tenderness are at once relieved
and in q few days the granuations all 90,
leaving the diseased parts dry, and destitute
of all feeling, and the edge of the nail ex.
posed, SO as to admit of being pared away
without any Inconvenience. The operation
causee little If any pain, If tho iallow is
properly heated '-GermantO,ca Telegraph.
