Five O'Clock in the Norm

The dew lay on the glittering grass,
A mist lay on the brook:
At the earliest beam of the golden sun,
The swallow her nest forsook.
Ths snowy bloom of the hawthorn tree
Lay thickly, the ground adorniDg;
The birds were singing in every bush.
At tive o'clock in the morning.
And Bessie, the milkmaid, merrily sang,
For the meadows were fresh and fair;
Theb of the morning kissed her brow
And played with her nut brown hair;
But oft she turned and looked around,
As if the silence scorning;
Twas time for the mower to whet his scytht
At five o'clock in the morning.
And over the meadow the mowers came,
And merrily their voices rang;
And one among them wends his way
To where the milkmaid sang;
And as he fingered by her side,
Despite his comrades warning,
The old, old story was told again,
At five o'clock in the morning.

4 matrimonial alliance was

A matrimonial alliance was
lately consummated in Atlas,
Genessee county, Michigan, which
was noticeable for its business as
pect. Some. three years ago, a
man desired to secure for himself
a companion to share his joys
and sorrows in this vale of tears,
but disliked the idea of entering
the state of matrimony, beyond
the power of recall! until a fair
trial should prove that he bad
made a good selection. He there
fore purchased a girl for the sum
of three dollars, and has lived
with her ever since. On the 10th
ult., he made up his mind that
she was a safe investment, and the
parties were married. They
have two children.

clean thy feeble weight on me, let
me carry awhile thy burden and
light you DER the gloomy ways
How sweetly "the lovely Naza-
rine" hath said unto us, "Little
children love ye one another
then let us be strong and earnest
and mighty in our love. ''Let us
us for each beacon be-" and when
we shall go down into the valley
of the shadow of DEATH" He, the
loving Father, will set up for us a
beacon light to guide us safely
through.
Yea, when our landjourneying
is ended, and deaths sable oars
men are rowing US DER the still
dread river, methinks we shall
fear no evil, there will be glad
music on the waters and the
sweet moonbeams of faith and
hope will play softly around about
US.
CAS- DER these dreamy oceans We
Are sailing swiftly on,
To one great mark, for one great prize
And an immortal crown
Let each for each a beacon be,
Though stormy tides bestride thes
And cen distractions whirlpool opes
To hide our aims and blast our hopes.
sThough mountains rise and intervene
And waves keep dashing high,
Though would be friends and foes curtail
Our progress to the sky
Let us for each beacon be
That we may pass life's stormy sea
And land in safety on the shore
Where foes once reigning reign no more"

fore the United States Commissioner
this morning, charged with perjury
in having taken the registration oath

ground that the State constitution

aided the rebellion after April, 1864.
This constitution, it is stated, is not
set aside by the reconstruction bill.
About nine-tenths of the whites in
the State will be disfranchised if the
District Attorneys ground is sustain

tomorrow. There is great interest
manifested by all classes of citizens
in the cases.

CALIFORNIA Observation-Disclosures
wheat has some rather peculiar
properties which give it great excel
lence and which are rcferable to the
climate. AS we are informed by q
writer in the Journal of Commerce,
the rains, which usually commence
in October, fall lightly during that
month but are heavier in Novem-
Der, at which period the ground is
well soaked and prepared for the
pillow. The grain is then got in and
the rains continue through January
February very freely; they then are
less frequent and heavy, generally
ceasing altogether in April. From
that time TO the first of ] u ly
the grain gets no water. 1t results
that the grain ripcning in the midst
of drouth, becomes very hard and
free from moisture. 1t is then cut
and left in the field without danger
of rain until October. 1t is gradu-
ally harvested and sent in sacks.
Owing to its dry nature it mover
heats, never requires rehandling,
nor does it require to be sheltered,
thus saving, in this country, where
labor is dear, great expense to the
famer. The same qualities of wheat
make the -four fit for any voyage
and for any climate without the least
danger of spelling, where the wheat
is first introduced it is supposed to
be hard, flinty and very dry. When
used alone many hillers damp it to
make it more eaisly Toured, but
mixed with other wheats no difficult
ty is encountered in treating it.
The -four is preferable to the best
Gallcgo and Haxall for its quality
ofkeeping under any circumstances,
and tho grades of superior and ex-
ira makes are rather above similar
New York grades, as they bear the
brands of the San Francisco mills.

In 1915 he was appointed paid at

tary of Legation TO tho Republic Of
Mexico. From April, 1852, till Dc
tobei, 1853, he was Secretary to the
late Sir Charles Hotham's special
mission to the River Platte. In
May, 1854 he received the appoint
ment Of Chdged A6aires and Consul

year he was transferred to the ORR

end of which period he was appoint.
cd Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Argentine Republic On the 9th
July, 1865, ho was sent on special
mission TO tho Emperor of Brazil,
and on the 10th of August following
was appointed Envoy Extraordina-
ry and Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Emperor of Brazil, from which
post he has just been recalled to
succeed the late Sir Frederick Bruce
as head of the British Embassy in
the United States. 1t will thus be
seen that 90 years of Mr.. Thornton's
official career have been spent on
this continent in different diplomat
ic capacities. In February, 1863,
he was made q Companion of the
Honorable Order of the Bath, the
distinction being conferred upon
him as a mark of his Sovereign's
approval of the ability and fidelity
with which he had discharged the
duties of the several offices he had
successfully filled in his country's
services. Mr.. Thornton bears a
Portuguese title of nobility-Count
of Cassilhas, to which he succeeded
on the death of his father, upon
whom it was conferred by King
John II of Portugal for three lives,
his own being one, and the other to
be accomplished in his descendants
in direct and Legitimate line; but
the license granted by George w.,
permitting Sir Edward to accept
the title, forbid him or his heirs as

THE WHOLE COUNTRY ON FIRE
The Cairo Democrat says forest and
field, prairie and hill were on fire
lately, for distance of nearly u
hundred miles along the Illinois
Central Railroad, throu 5hout a
large portion of Alexander and Pu-
laslii counties and widoscope Of
Southern Missouri.
The sight was fearfully grand
The bright flames Tapped up the dry
leaves and grass. twined around the
giant tree and roaring above its top
seemed eager to reach the clouds.
Fences looked like monster serpents
of fire; the crash of falling limbs and
trees was heard on every side.
Barns, fine timber, stacks of grain
and much other property was de-
stroyed. Cairo was constantly en-
veloped in smoke. The naviga-
ton of the rivers was rendered diff
ficult and dangerous, and eyes and
lungs were sensibly affected.
The st Louis Democrat ola late
date says that city was enveloped
in smoke from the prairie fires in
Missouri, and that the woods and
prairies were burning extensively
in Kansas and Nebraska, INJECTING
immense damage on the farmers.
The remarkably protractcd
drouth had made the grass and
forests peculiarly intiammable.
Unless the rains soon descend, the
Democrat says the country must
continue to suffer from such calam-
tiles.

The Secretary of War was author

The Secretary Of War was author
lied by Congress at the last session
to build and operate two dredge
boats for the purpose of deepening
and keeping open the channal of
one or moro of the passes at the
mouth of I'll o Mississippi river.
Under this authority the Secretary
has entered into contract with a
Boston firm, for the construction of
one of the vessels. 1t is to be 160
feet long, with a propeller at each
end, one of which is TO be driven
by two engines, the other by one.
Should this experiment succeed, we
have no doubt that it will be ex-
tended to the shallow bars of Texas.
Who can say how many "ship cham
nels" will yet be dog where none
exist at present.
