AN OLD HAND.

THIS good old hand is clasping mine;
bond above it. aud looking down. -
sthdy its aspect line by line.
This hand has elasped a thousand hands
THAI long have known 10 answering
thrill;
sonc have mouldered in foreign lands
Some In the graveyard on the hill
Glasped mothers hand, in the day +.
When it was little and soft and white
Mother who kissed it, and went away,
To resttill the waking in Gods good
lightZs>
ClaspeG lovers Hand, ssyears agone,
Who sailed away and left her in tears;
Under Sahara's torrid sun, OIL. 4il
Its bones have whitened years and years
Clasped the hand Of good man true,
Who held 1t softly and fell asleep
And woke no more, and never knew {
How long that impress this would keep.
Clasped so many, so many $50 few
That still respond to the living will, -,
OrIcan answer this pressure SO kind and
true!
SomaDy, that lie unnoyed and still!
Clasped, at last this hand my own;
And.nine viii moulder, too, in turn,
Wiltany clasp it when I'm gone
In vain Istudy this hand to learn?

The Mammoth Cave in Kentuc.
ky is not without its story of love
and romance. Some twenty years
ago a dashing Tennessee girl pro-
missed her mother that she would
not marry certain man "on the
face of the earth"-said suitor be.
ing particularly Objectionable to
the old lady. So there was quiet
in the family for some time. But
one pleasant day the gay girl and
her lover ran away and went into
the cave, to a spot now called the
"Bridal Chamber" and in the pre-.
sence of a few witnesses were mat.
rimonially united, about 325 feet
below the "face of the earth.

HowTo FREsHEN SALT FISH. Ma
ny person who are in the habit Of
freshening mackeral, or other salt
fish, never dream that there is a
right and wrong way to do it. Any
person who has seen the process of
evaporation going on at the salt
works knows that the salt falls to
the bottom. Just so tits in the pan
where your mackerel or white fish
lies soaking; and as it lies with the
skin side down, the salt will fall to
the skin and remain there, when, if
placed with the fresh side down, the
salt falls to the bottom of the pan,
and the fish comes out freshened as
it should. In the other case it is
nearly as salt as when put in. II
you do not believe this, Test the
matter for yourself. .

"GIyE US THIS DAY OURoDAI'
LY BREAD"

In a miserable hoyel at the bottom of a
hilstwo children hovercd over a smould-
ering fire. A tempest ragged without---a
fearful tempest, against which man and
beast were alike powerless.
Apoor miser much poorer than these
shivering children, though he had heaps OF
money at, home, drew his ragged cloak
about him and crouched at that miserable
door. He dares not enter for fear they
would ask pay for sheltering him, and he
cannot move OH account of the storm.
Jam so hungry, Nettie,' said one of
thelittle ones to the other.
SO am I; I've been hunting ior a pota-
to pairing, but can't find any,
"What an awful storm"
"Yes; the old tree has blown down; /
guess God took care that it didn't fall on
the house. See, it certainly would have
killed u.s."
"If he could do that, couldn't he send us
bread ~
II guess so. Let as pray. "Our Faith
err" and when We get to that part, stop till
we get some bread"
So they began, and the miser, crouching
and shivering, listened. When they paus-
ed, expecting, in their childish faith, to see
some miraculous manifestation, humane
feeling stole over his, heart. God sent
some angel to soften it. He had bought a
loaf at the village, thinking it would last
him great many days; but the silence
spoke louder to him than the voice of many
waters. He opened the door softly, threw

"Yes; mean to love God always for

"We'l ask him every day, won't we?-
Why, Inever thought God. was so good,
did you?"
"Yes, I always thought SO, but never
quite knew it before!n
''Let us ask him to give e..father.work to dc
all the time, so we need not be hungry
again. He'll do it, I'm sure"
The s'orm passed on and the miser went
home. a little flower had sprung up in
his heart. 1t was longer barren.
In few weeks he died, but not before
he had given the cottage, which was his
to the poor laboring man.
And the little children ever felt a sweet
and solemn emotion, when in their devo-
tions they came to those trustful words
''give us this day our daily bread.n

The Tribune's Dublin correspondent
says, the political excitement has run
to an alarming heightin Ireland. Every
town and village has its full iquota O
military and gunboats are scattered all
over the Irish coast. These measures
plainly bespeak the apprehension of q
folhllment of Mr.. Stephens promise in
his last speech in America which has
been published in several Irish journ-
ais and caused quite a political fever.
The Irish people seem to have implicit
confidence in his sincerity and deter
mination. Among all classes the convic-
ton grows and spreads that we are on
the eve of startling and terrible events.

Mexican News.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The Worlds
New Orleans special says Macmillan
has taken the decisive step of abdica-
ton. The rupture between himself and
the French Government being com
plete, he has left Mexico in the hands
of Bazine and Castelneau, the latter of
whom, it is understood, to have full au-
thority from Napoleon to supercede
the Marshal himself If necessary.
The late Emperor left Vera Cruz on
Thursday, and may be expected at Ha-
vana on his way to Europe on Mon
day or Tuesday next. The conster-
nation of1the 5Mexicans at finding the
question of their future remitted abso-
lutely to negotiations between France
and the United States, is general and
confined to no party. 1 have the best au-
thortty for stating that all the prepara-
tions for embarking the French troops,
have been summarily suspended.
The Herald's Mexico correspondent
says: Desultory skirmishing is going
on all around the line without any de-
cisive advantage accruing to either
party.
The new Tehuantepec Transit Com
pany have agents in chihuahua trying
TO obtain the grant now in possession
OF the companies headed by Marshall
O'Roberts, OF this city, but il is believed
that both companies are the same,
merely changing the colors to suit the
political changes that are expected to
follow the abdication of Macmillan.
The Herald's City of Mexico cores
pendent gives an account of the cap
ture OF Oa1aca by the Liberals under
Jean Diaz. The garrison of the CITY
consisted of but about 1900 men, who
bravely defended it against three times
their number. An attempt to reinforce
the garrison was made by 600 Belgian
and 400 native troops, but Diaz inter
copied the party and captured it. A
strong force from Tehuacan met i like
fate about the 25th inst. In the mean
time some 500 Austrians forced their
way through Diaz's lines into the CITY.
and thus reinforced the garrison and
kept up the light for several weeks, re-
Polling attacks nearly every day. Diaz
fought his way through the city and
obtained possession Of the plaza, but
for some days was unable to make any
effect upon the forts of st. Domingo
and Elcarten until the 31st ult, when
he forced the AustriRns to retire. M
The number of prisoners is between
1900 and 5000, and the capitulation is
signed on the part of the tmperialists
and others, by Baron Henrique iEgero
and Count Alberto De Karmer. A
large supply of military stores was
captured, and several batteries of artfl-
lery were among the prizes. The AUS
TRANS fought well, but finally surren-
derGd tosuperior numbers. This victory
insures the peace ofthe whole country
South of Puebla, and gives the Liberals
a large, we'll organized and admirably
equipped force with which to operate
line. 1t also places Puebla in danger
unless the French prove themselves to
be- more active than formerly. The
Communication with, the coast will, be
cut of, and can be re-established only
at the cost of many lives.
