A SPECULATIVE TURN OF .MIND.-A
Southern correspondent relates circum-
stance which recently came to his knowl-
edge, and which furnishes pointed illus
tration of that yearning tone which the
pure nasaltwanged disciple of Charles
Sumner bears to the African. A lady of
the green-spectacled and strong minded
persuasion, from down east, near the hub
of the universe, was in conversation with
a female friend, and was charging on the
dear little African pupils she had been
teaching, and was about to leave, perhaps
forever (about one hundred), when one
of them came in. The kind instructress
turned to the sable tenement of an i'm
mortal soul" and said with an angelic
kindness beaming through her emerald
glasses, "Dear Disley, | am soon to
leave you, and may never return. You
must be good girl, and apply yourself
diligently to your books. Oh, how /
love you, and all my dear colored pupils.
Tell all Of them you meet / have had my
photograph taken, and have one for each
of them. THEY must each bring dollar
and get one"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is the sweet
principle Of oil, and is extensively ustd
for the toilet; but it has now received an
application of rather an unexpected na-
tllre. In 1s4s pupil of N. Pelouze's,
discovered that glycerine, when treated
with nitric acid, was converted into
highly explosive substance, which he

important branch Of his art-namely
blasting. From paper addressed by
him to the Academy Of Sciences, we learn
that this substance, composed Of one

MISCELLANY.

SOLDIER JoE-It was just at the close
of beautiful day in June when two lit.
tie children, a boy and girl, came slow
ly down the hill toward a small brown
cottage nestled close under Its side, al
most hid from view. They were prating
earnestly as they walked, occasionally
helping themselves to some of the temp
ting berries out Of the basket which they
carried between them.
sOnly think, Allie," said Artie, Joe
is coming home tomorrow. Come, let
us hurry. want to hang up my flag,
this afternoon. Won't he hurrah though
when he sees it p and Artie's eyes fairly
glistened with pleasure
"Grandma SO dad that she keeps tying
all the while, an when l see her she 'afiis
and says she is so dad to see her pity
boy" lisped sweet Allie.
"There's grandma by the door, now.
Come, let's run, Allie"
The sun was just setting behind the
hill, painting the beautiful scenery with
all the gorgeous tints of setting sun, as
the children entered the door of the cot
tage.
80, mamma, we'se dot such lots of
berries, you tan make fifty pies for josie
Amt you dad ?"
But mamma did not smile she only
caught little Allie up in her arms and
burst into tears.
"What is the matter mamma p plead
ed Artie.
" Come here, darling" said grandma !;
" there sit right up in grandma's lap
while ! tell Artie-Josie will not be here
tomorrow. Artie, Josie is deadp' and
she rocked herself to and fro, sobbing as
if her heart would break.
:" / don't believe it!' said the impul-
sive Artie. Who told you, grandma ?"
Grandmapointed to the list of killed
and wounded in the paper On the floor,
and she read:
KILLED-Josepf Lee.''
Then they seemed to understand and
know that they should never see Brother
Joe again. No use to hang up the flag,
now, Artie Joe will never greet it again.
You will never hear his manly shout when
he sees the stars and stripes waving over
the little cottage And the mothers heart
was wrung with agony as she thinks that
perhaps there was no friend near when
her darling boy lay dying; no kind hand
to soothe his pillow and wipe away the
death dew on his noble forehead, no anx-
ious watcher to watch the last Pickering
breath and catch his last words to the
loved ones, no one like mother there,
0, no!
"But, mamma, Josie is with bod now.
bod took care of josie bod has dot
Josie now," said little Allie, twining her
soft arms around her mothers neck.
The mother only hugged Allie passion
ately to her heart as she thanked God for
the little soothing angel he had given
her, and she determined, with Gods help
she would bear the burden patiently.
