The EurOpean Pence PreIiminaries--Im-
perial Expansion of Prussia.
From the Herald
The most extraordinary document marking
any of the many rectifcations OF the balance
of power in Europe for a thousand years, is the
text of the preliminaries of peace agreed upon
between Prussia and Austria, which was pub
lished in Tuesdays Herald. 1t amounts to an
official recognition by Austria of her complete
subugation, and that she thankfully accepts
the gracious terms vouchsafed by Bismark
whereby her existence as an Independent power
is still recognized, There is nothing IN any of
her repeated humiliations by the first Napoleon
which can be compared with her humiliation
by Bismark. AT the outset of the war Austria,
with her supporting German States and princi-
pahties, was considered as more than a match
in military strength and resources for Prussia
and Italy combined. This was doubtless the
oDipIOn of Napoleon, and that in being ulti-
nately called upon to interpose with his army
for the sake of peace, France would secure the
lions share of the spoils.
But the astonishing efficiency and superiority
of the Prussisn armies, and their Unparalleled
activity In pushing forward over all impediments
from Dresden to Vienna, have bafied all the
calculations of outside diplomatists, and spoiled
the whole programme of Napoleon. The Paris
journal La France is very naturally astonished
al the rapacity of Bismark, as disclosed in the
text of these peace prelininarles; for surely,
beyond the limits of Prussia, no such imperial
scheme OF expansion on the part OF the skilful

An Old Mans Idyl.

By the waters of Life We sat together,
Hand in hand in the golden days
OF the beautiful early summer weather,
When skies were purple and breath was praise,
When the hear, kept tune to the carol of birds.
And the birds kept tune to the seng which IA
Through simmer Of flowers On erassy swards,
And the trees with voices -Eolian.
By the rivers of Life we walked together
and my darling, unafrad;
And lighter than any innets feather
The burdens of Being on Us weighed.
And Loves sweet miracles DER US threw
Nantes of joy outlastiug Time,
And up from the rosy morrows grew
A sound that seemed like marriage chime.
In the garden of iife we strayed together:
And the luscious apples were ripe and red,
And the languid lilac and honeyed heather
Swooned with the fragrance which they shed.
And under the trees the angels walked.
And up in the air a sense of wings
Awed US tenderly- while we talked
Softly in sacred communings.
In the meadows of Life we strayed together,
Watching the waving hsrvests grow;
And under the benisou of the Father
Our hearts, like the lamb, skipped to and fro.
And the cowslips hearing our low replies,
Brodered farer the emerald banks,
And glad tears shone in the daisies eyes,
= And the timid violet glistened thanks.
Who was with us, and what was round US,
Na;tbar r,rsaJf por p,r darl;,, rnacSoJ.
Only we knew that something crowned us
Out from the heavens with crowns of rest;
Only We knew that something bright
fingered lovingly where stood,
Clothed with the incandescent light
OF something higher than humauhood.
o the riches love doth inherit
All, the alchemy which doth change
Dross Of body and dregs of spirit
Into sanctilies rare and strange.
My flesh is feeble and dry and old,
My darling's beautiful hair is gray;
But our elixir and precious gold
Laugh at the footsteps of decay.
Harms of the world have come unto US.
Cups of sorrow We yet shall drain;
But we have secret which doth show US
Wonderful ranbows in the rain.
And we hear the tread of the years move by,
And the sun is setting behind the hills;
But my darling does not fear to die,
And am happy in what God wills.
So we sit by our household fires together,
Dreaming the dreams of long ago;
Then il was halmv summer weather
And now the valleys are laid in snow.
Icicles hang from the slippery caves;
The wind blows cold its growing late;
Well, well We have garnered all our sheaves,
] and my darling, and we wait.

tbs SIANEsE Twins EcLIesED.-The Siam
ese Twins are eclipsed by two irrepressible ne
gro girls, fourteen years of age at Raleigh, n.
Z. The connection between these girls is
closer ihan in the Siamese Twins, there being
more of the physical and mental organs CON-
mon 10 each. The connection begins below
the neck and terminates at the extremity of
the spine To toach one at any point of her
body below the connection sends sensation
to the brain of each i; while touch of either
above the connection is felt by that one only.
They can talk to different persons at the same
time on entirely different subjects and one
can engage in game OF whist while the other
reads or sings" The wonder would have cul.
minated had one of the girls been boy.

stepped upon the seats. when unfortunately her
hoop, or rather The lower hoop of her skeleton

out of it, was left hanging III iul view upon

A SECOND WILLIAM TELL.-A blacksmith
named Coles. of Illminster, England, has per-
formed feat which rivals that ascribed to
William Tell. A child, aged seven years,
placed over his head an iron band similar to
that used for the nuts Of cart wheels. The
child's neck began to swell. and the parents
we're horrifed to find that it was impossible to
remove the band, and speedy sufocation was
imminent. Coles was called in, and suggested
the desperate idea OF hammering off the iron,
with sledge, and he successfully completed
his dangerous task. Whilst one person held
the legs and another the head OF the little one,
Coles fearIessly smashed at the ring and sew.
cred it, A false blow of half an iuch and in.
stantaueous death must have resulted. A

PRINTING CALLco.-The printing of calico
is attained by the web passing over brass cyl
inders, about six inches in diameter upon which
the print or figure is engraved. These cylin-
ders or rollers, having length equal to the
width Of a web. revolve in the ink or paste
which is to give the desired color. The web
is at the same time passing over these rollers.
But before the roller reaches the cloth it has
passed over scraper so nicely adjusted that
every particle of this coloring matter has been
removed, except that in the interstces of the
engraved figure, so that when the cloth passes
over it it sucks dye from out these iDterstces
and thus bears away the fignre. For each
different color it must pass over a cylinder
separate time since but one color can be i'm
printed at one time. If piece Of calico has
three different colors, it mns' have as many
passages over as many different cylinders.
The machinery for this must be Of the most
exact kind.apd its working conducted with
great skill. From the time tie piece Of cloth
enters the mill, its wasbings and its soakings.
its printings and its dyeings, its surging and
its merging. until it comes to its foldings and
turnings, must be very numerous.

Dox'r Do Ir.-Dou't speak that harsh, un-

other. Speak gently; It's better.
Don't make the burden of another heavier,
when it is in your power to tighten the same.
Keep in good humor anger is a waste of vi
tality. No man and no boy does his best ex-
cept when cheerful. A light heart makes
nmble hands and keeps the body healthy and
mind free.
Don't let others say that you are selfish and
care only for yourself.
Don't live for your own comfort and enjoy
ment alone live for others.
Don't neglect that precious soul committed
to your charge remember it must live forever
Don't waste the holy Sabbath its hours
are too valuable.
Don't turn away from the Bible; it is the
book by which you will be judged.
Don't speak against Christians; remember
their faults will not save you.
Don't live merely for the world remember

A Romantic Love Story.

The Count de ST. Croix. belonging to one of
the poblest and wealihiest families in France,

courtship, to lady his equal in position and
fortune. and famous for ber beauty. Shortly
after the happy day was appointed which was
to render two loving hearts one the Count
was ordered Immediately to the seige of Sebas-
,apol, 90 he girded on his sabre, and at the
head Of his regiment marched to the battle

became hideous to herself. and resolved to pass
