She was not an observing female, but she
never lost any children. Yet for all that, the

Kalista was left to be her own mother or do

She wore mourning and looked well, as she
wept because the jeweler did not get her
mourning pin done in time. She ironed a

as to have some use OF the furniture ere it
was knocked down, and was ready to we'd

authors were gone, and we should have we'd

Then there came from the war a Journey

girl, said she would and she did. And her

The waterfall Once More.

DoN'T fatter yourselves, young ladies, that
you are going to be let alone so long as you
cling to that abomination. 1t is too outrage
Gus in the sight Of man, to say nothing OI
any higher order of criticism, to be borne in
silence. The Akron (Summit Co. Beacon
man makes tilt at it in the following fash
ion:
The modification of the young lady whose
waterfall got loose during the morning
servics in one of the churches Of Akron, on
Sunday last, must have been equal to the
amusement Of the balance of ths congrega-
ton who witnessed her nervous and almost
frantic efforts to readjust the unsightly ap-
pendage. Speaking of waterfalls, so long as
thew were confined to nice little pad oi
either the natural or artificial hair, the fash
ion was perhaps well enough: but since it
has been carried so far as to cucumber the
organ of philoprogenitiveness with a huge
mass resembling a disguised winter squash,
or boiled Indian pudding, we think it high
time that the fashion was discarded altogeth-
er. What say yOu, young ladies Of Akron
What say you, young ladies Of Cham

THE FIRST Love And THE LAST
I rcoNcLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.


THEN I kDelt down in the gray dawn
ing, and thanked God that my madness
was passed, aud prayed that as He had
given me strength to make the sacrifice,
so He would help me never to regret it.
I did not see Mark Sutherland again
but the next time that Milly went up to
the Hollies, she told me, on her return,
" That he had left the Hollies, gone
away to that dreadful India, and was
never coming back again" Ny heart
echoed the words, but I drew Milly to
me and kissed her, and tried to be pa
tient and forget.
[ could not forget; my nature was
tenacious of what had once taken hold
upon it, and the course of our lives was
too uniform and monotonous to permit
change and variety their usual influence
I-searcely knew, after Mark went away,
how the days and years glided away,
their course was so unmarked, and every
thing seemed so unchanged. At first
used to shrink and shiver at the chance
mention of Mark Sutherland's name at
the Hollies; that passed, and [ pined to
hear Of him with weary, anxious long
ing, seldom satisfied. They ceased to
speak Of him after.a while, as people do
Of long absent friend, and by degrees
st seemed as if he was only remembered
in one poor woman's heart, who almost
came to fhink Of him, too, as if he had
been removed by death So that. one
day MiIly came back from the Hollies,
and said as she united her hat and threw

THE Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial speaks OF the pomp and
circumstance of glorious wsr" that still clinga
around our bellicose Secretary as follows:
1t is a singular fact, that Secretary Stan
ton cannot so far recover from the belhger-
ent attitude which so well became him when
we were at war, as to dismiss the military
guard from his own private residence. Pas
sing by No. 32O K street, yesterday, about
noon-day, I encountered chap in blue regi-
mentals and dirty white gloves, strntting up
and down in front of the "palatial mansion"
of Secretary Of War, and in the alley in the
rear of the house was plainly audible the
tramp, tramp, of another patrol, who soon
came into view with a bayonet on his shoul-
der, keeping guard over his side of the iorti-
fcatiou. Isn't it remarkable, that while the
forts about Washington are being dismantled,
and Lieutenant General Grant comes and
goes everywhere unattended, the Secretary
of War should require to be so constantly
hsdged in by bayonets. Our War Minister
seems to be the only man in the country who
can afford to keep private battery on his
premises.

A Blundor at the Treasury Printing Bureau
[Wa,bington Correspondence On. Conf

Washington Correspondence Gin. Com.l
TIE Printing Bureau of the Treasury De-
partmeut recently made a blunder of such a
stupid character that it is wonder it was
not discovered by some one Of the many at
raches in time to save the reputation of the
establishment. The careless ofhand manner
in which they do things in the Printing Bu-
reau would ruin any job Office in the United
States in six months. Think, for instance,
of them striking off, I don't know how mana
thousand dollars, but as much as they want
ed at any rate, of tencent fractional notes
and then discovering, when the work was
completed, that in the engraving of the plate
the word cents had been omitted, and
that the bill might mean ten mills, tea dol
lars, or ten d-ns, just as it might be agreed
upon between the holders and the redeemer
of it. It had los all over it, but the word
" cents did not occur once. The faux pas
was not discovered until the greater part Of
the notes had been paid out of the depart
ment. An attempt is now being made to
call in the erroneous issue. but the work pro-
eeeds very slowly. The head of the Print
ing Bureau is Mr.. Clark, OF whom Congress
ional investigating Committee told so many
naughty stories a year and half ago. But
there seems to have been some hidden virtue
in him that made him invuInerable.
We have one of these los, which we
intend to preserve as a specimen of Govern
ment rafting"

THE VOICE OF THE PEsT1IENcE.

I THIS Splendid poem was written in 1851 o
the approach Ofthe cholera from the East towar
the Western parts of Europe, and It is appropr
ate to its renewed apparition and Western pre-
gress.l
Breathless the course Of the Fale White Horse,
Bearing the ghastly Form
Rapid and dark as the specter bark,
When it sweeps before the storm!
Balefully bright through the torrid night
Ensanguincd meteors glare
Fiercely the spires of volcanic fires
Stream on the sulphurous air.
Shades of the slain through the Murderer's brair
Fit terrible and drear,
Shadowy and swift the black storm drift
Doth trample the atmosphere
But sWifter than all, with darker pail,
Ofterror around my path,
have arisen from my lampless prison
Slave of the high Gods wrath.
A deep voice went from the Firmament,
And it pierced the caves of Earth
Therefore came on my wings of flame,
From the dark places Of my birthl
Over yOn wandering ball
Sin is the King of that doomed Thing,
And the sin beguiled must fall"
Forth from the Gate of the Uncreate,
From the portals of the Abyss
From the caverns dim, where vague Forms swim
And the shapeless Chaos is!
From Hades' womb-from the foyless tomb
OfErebus and Old Night
From the unseen deep where Death and Sleep,
Brood in their mystic might
cOme-I cOme-before me are dumb
The nations aghast for dread
Lol have passed, as the desert blast,
And the millions of Earth lie dead!
A voice Of fear from the hemisphere
TTacketh me where I fly
Earth weeping aloud for her widowhood-
A wild and desolate cry!
Thrones and dominions, beneath my pinions,
Cover like meanest things
Melt from my presence the pride and the pleas
ance
pallor-stricLen kings!
Sorrow and mourning supremeIy scorning,
~ tA-iDLE Is me OpIDllGSS ar
Ny chosen shroud is the dari,-plumed cloud
Which the whirling breczes bearl
Was not born on The wings OF the morn
From the jungles OF Jessore.
Over the plain Of the purple main,
To the fair Manritian shore?
TO the isles which sleep on the sunbright deep
ora coralpaved sea;
Where the blue waves welter beneath the shelter
CrHeavcn's serenity?
From the womb Of the waters athirst for sIaugh-
tiers,
! rose thar thirst to satc-
These green isles are graves in The waste of the
waves,
Their beauty is desolatc.
From the wide Eyr;hrcan the noise Of nv peen
Rolled on the Southern blast
Eternal Taurus mad answering chorus,
From the glaciers lone and vast!
Did I not pass this granite mass
And the rigid Caucasian hill
Over burning sands-over frost chained lands
Born by my own wild will?
Then bark TO the beat of my hastening feet,
Thou shrine in the sea
Where arc thy dreams that the ocean streams
Would be safely unto thee
Awaken awaken my wings are shaken
Athwart the troubled sky
Streams the red glance Of my meteor lance,
And the glare of mine eager eyel
Hearken, o, hearken my coming shall darkcn
The light ofthy festal cheer;
In the storn-rocbed home on the Northern foam,
NursIing of ocean-hear!

Hotter THAN HE-ATHFUL.-One Of Profes.
scr Agassiz's party, in writing from Obydoa,
on the Amazon in Brazil, South America,
says: .a7s.5.o s 81
" You may read, about the hsatand nus

I can only say that the genuine orthodox
" hot place" viii be an agreeable change to
the people who live on the Amazon"
To properly appreciate the heat along the
Amazon, one should consider in that connec-
ton, the heat Of he'll, as Illustrated by the
great revivalist, Burceard, Of Northern New
York. He pointed into the jaws Of a fur
mace where molten iron was floating, and said:
"Hell is so much hotter than the white
heat Of that furnace, that if being who
could live in he'll, should jump thence into
that furnace, he would freeze to death in eve
minutes"

An INvOIoE OF BEEs.-The Toledo Blade Of
the 18th says:
A portion OF the cargo of the Propeller
Orontes, which arrived here on Saturday,
consisted Of 81 swarms Of bees, shipp5ed
from Central New York and consigned to a
gentleman at Blissfeld, Mich. The "goodsr
were tightly boxed, efectualy preventing
any great number Of bees from escaping; but,
adopting the language of a stevedore, they
kept up q "devil Of q Mise " inside. The
fear exhibited by the ladorers who were re-
quired to handle this freight, produced con
siderable amusement among those who wit
messed it; the buzz Of fly would cause one
10 start and run, striking violently with his
hands about his head, and many were the
Jokes practioed upon the poor men to highteu
