THE WANDERERS DREAM.


BY META.
Twas summer and the MONDAY sun te4A b
Shone with its fleriest ray,
traveller weary, faint and lone,
Yearned for the close Of day.
His path was DER the prairie wild, III .sfi
Where many floweret bloomed, 81
Decked with the rarest; loveliest tints,
That nature oft assumes. sS8D fstt sA3.
It charmed the eye, that lovely scene;s
But still the lonely heart, ~
Longed for the tone Of sympathy,
True pleasure to impart. @ ~A#
O.! for q kind, a kindred soul II ya AT
To share my every thought, M
To beat in unison with mine; "a
But ah in vain I've sought.

Turned to cooling shade,
To rest awhile his weary limbs, '.tt3 ~ 't'

Sweet visions visited his COUCH 81 iat1 A
With every varying charm. 4 <r Via9"
He saw one standing by his side,
With beanty's radiant smile,
She spake,in tones so sweet and low,
So musical and wild. seusN9iii aiii s.sil7, Il

And whispered words of cheer, astli ts}

Of conflicts dread and prison walls 48f
And bloody battle plain ~r
Through every scene, that vision rare,
Still chung in beauty bright,
When strange to tell that cherished one,
Met his bewildered sight.
Entranced he stood-hs hearts delight
Was present to his gaze, IA f7l IT,
Trembling, astonished- raptured--charmed
Hestood in mute amaze.
He spoke-how strange, no answering tone,
He smiled, no look of love
And when he touched fair beauty's hand,
No trembling nerve could move.
The charmingfyision lures no more, ffG
Youths dreams, so fair and bright,
In one brief moment chilled and dead,
Enwrapped in gloomiest night.

CURE FOR FELoNs. AS there is much
needles suffering from felons, we deem it a
duty to give a remedy which we know TO be
perfectly reliable; Take portion ofthe bark
Of sweet elder, or hops will do put it with
some sweet cream into cup. and boila short
time then put in lump of saltpetre twice
as large as a pea; let it slowly dry away to
the consistency of a salve, which apply to
the felon.. Tie saltpetre is the cure, but the
elder bark aud sweet cream aid in easiag the
pain. AS felons sometimes make it necessary
to amputate finger or hand ,Gfleft alone
thew should be attended to at once. ....
By putting enough saltpetre any felon
can be cured in forty weight hours. and the
pain will cease almost Immediately III II

CAMP LIFE IN Mexico The camp life Of
the soldiery is as singular as everything else.
In Mexican armies it is emphatically the case
that ''every laddic has his lassie."' The wo-
men share all the dangers with as much sang
froid as the oldest veteran, and perform,
without pay, all the duties of army suffers
and rcgimental cooks and purveyors. On
the march they ride ahead, mounted on their
buros, or on raw-boned horses, which they
generally bestride a Ia cavalier, and five
minutes after the halt is called each will have
a savory mess Of chickens and chile, garlic
and grease. simmering in little brown earth
enware pan over charcoal fire, and deem
herself we'll paid if her lord and master be-
slows on her friendly word of commenda-
tiou A strange life these army followers
lead They are strange people altogether
"a bundle Of contradictions. The women,
although lost to all sense of decency and vir-
tue, will yet submit to every kind of hard
ship for their con,panero's sake. One mo-
ment you will see the man brutally thrashing
his spouse for some real Or fancied infidelity !;
next instant they will be sitting under the
same blanket, billing and cooling like coup
lie Of turtle doves, In the trenches, during
the Queretaro siege, most Of the men dug
caves by their side for their women, who thus
kept them company on duty, and not unfre-
quently the hospital litters would bear away
wounded and dead women as we'll as men.

A New USE EoR PAPER. new process
has been discovered: by which paper can,
by chemical and mechanical influences, be
rendered as hard as hickory wood, and may
be manufactured into variety of articles
hitherto made of wood, tin, copper and iron.
The substance produced is non-conductor
of heat, impervous to the action of acids,
and not liable to be injured by heat or cold.
1t can bear heat of three hundred Farhen-
heit, without injury. When the preparation
is soft it is shaped in moulds, and made into
water pals, wash basins, pitchers, &c
When further improvements are made ar
t1clcs formed of paper will come into colnpe-
tition with crockery and china. The White
House and the Departments in Washington
have been already supplied with sets of pa
per water pals, ice-coolers and spittoons. A
factory at Grcenpont, j.. L., is now engaged
in developing the process, which ofcourse is
a secret.

p A Democratic newspaper in New York
savs . uIn California the democrats have
gained &c, 900 votes they have gained
& 600 votes in Vermont; 1900 in Maine /;
and, within few months, they have also
rained IL 900 votes in Connections; 10000
IN Kentucky 1000 in Rhode Island 81
600 in New Hampshire, and 900 in Mon,
tana in seven states and one territory,
$4,000 votes. The gains in single states,
for instance, in Maine in Connecticut, in
California,-are relatively far greater than
will be necessary to carry Ohio, Pennsyl-
van;a. and New York for the democracy.
In the las. election for Governor in Ohio,
in 1865. the radical majority was only 3d.
oo6. and the negro suffrage issue present
ed in this falls canvass, the Tribune pre-
diets, will cost the radical party many
thousand votes u change Of Is, 600 votes
will enable the democrats to carry Ohio"
We assume, without consulting the re-
turns from the states named and from
Montana, that the gains mentioned in the
extract are accessions to the democratic
vote over the last elections within those
states and Montana.
They point unmistakbly to reaction
against radicalism. The people have not
lost any of their aversion to slavery and,
perhaps, the disease of "nigger on the
brain" is now as prevalent as ever; but
the people are beginning to realize that
radicalism is drying the country to where

~ A California correspondent of the
Springfield Mass. Republican, writing to
that newspaper before the late electiun,
said, in substance, that the success, of Cor
ham would not give life to the Jacobin
party, nor prevent its defeat next year.
The unpopularity of Gorham will not
account for the defeat of the ruling party
in that election. The prevailing convic-
ton is, that that party is corrupt to rot

PEDEsTRIANISM. - Foster Powell,
Englishman, who died in 1893, walk
ed 100 miles in % 3-4 hours. That
was in 1856. The next year he
walked 112 miles in "a hours. He
once made 10 miles in a single hour,
and so miles in seven hours. In
1773 he walked 400 miles in FIVE days
and Is hours. He once attempted
to run two miles in ten minutes, but
lost by half a minute Walter Brown
Of Portland, few days since, ran
five miles in 30 N. 36 Sec, winning
S10O in the race, with Il seconds to
spare. That was On a railway track
and not a common road. He offers
to put up 81 900 that he will run 112
miles, on the same track, in "a hours.
That would be making the same dis
tance with Powell, but the latter
walked while Brown would run. An
Englishman named Lewis some years
ago performed a more difficult task.
He walked 1000 miles in 1000 conse.
cutive hours. That took him Al days
and 16 hours, in every hour of which
he walked a mile.
