Song OF the Bottle. I.


Song OF the Bottle.
There wasan old decan-
ter, and ats mouth was
gaping wide; the
rosy wine had
cbbed away
and left
itscrys-
tai side;
and the wind
went hummins,
humming-
up and f...
down tho
sides it few,
and through the
recd-iike,
hollow mock
the widest notes it
blew. placed it in the
window, where the blast was
blowing free, and fancicd that its
pale mouth sang the qucerest strains
to me. "They tell me-puny con-
querors tho Plague has slain his ten,
and War his hundred thousands Of the
very best of mon; but TWAS thus
tho bottle spoke-"b but I have con-
quered more than all your famous con-
auerors, SO feared tssl famed of yore.
lN:u SoHc, Jo youIu "Hu hoiueho,
come drink, from out my cup, Nhe
beverage that dulls the brain and
burns the spirit up; that puts to
shame conquerors that slay their
scores bciow; for this has deluged
millions from the lava tidc Of
woe. Tho in the path Of battle
darkest waves Of blood may
roll; yet while killed the
body, have damn'd tho
very soul. The cholera,
the sword, such ruin
never wrought, ns l,
in mirth or malice,
on the innocent have bro't.
And still breathe upoE them, and
they shrink before my breath;
and year by year my h Ousa n d 5
tread the dismal road 10 Death"

An English paper says that photo
graphs can now be printed with
printers ink. They are as perma-
nent as a printed text, and SO easy
of production that 10000 may be
produced from a single plate in one

The following is Remains description OF
the personal appearance Of St, Panl /;
Paul had sickly appearance. which
did not, as it appears, correspond with the
greatness of his soul. He was ugly, short,
thick-set. aud STOPPING, and his broad
shoulders awkwardly sustained little, bald
head. His sallow countenance was halt
hidden in a thick beard; his nose was
aouiline, his eyes piercing, and his black
and heavy eyebrows met across his fore
head. Nor was there anything imposing
i'll his speech; his tmid and embarrassed
air and his incorrect language gave at first
but poor idea of his eloquence. He
shrewdly, however, gloried in his exterior
defects, and even Grew advantages there

A curious scene was witnessed the other
day at ST. Petersburg, in Russia. The lst
regiment Of the Imperial horse-guards were
drawn up in line, when a young officer,
dressed in full regimentals, was led up to
the Colonel of the regiment, who struck him
in the face took his sword from him, order
ed him to kneel down, broke his sword over
him. told two other officers to tear off his
uniform, and then had him clad in the coarse
uniform of private Of the line. The Off
Ger thus degraded had stolen money from
one OF his comrades, and committed num-
Der of forgeries. He was reduced to the po-
siton of private in the line, and to serve
for life as such in one of the Eastern Dis
tricts of the Empire.

In Bangor, Me-, a few days sinco,
a man noticed large and small spi-
der in pursuit of fly. The small
one caught tie fly and was carrying
him off, when the large one attacked
him, took possession Of the fly and
marched of. The little one crept up
behind the large one, bit him en- tho
lee, and ran away for dear life. ln>
stsntly the large spider commenced
swelling, and in five minutes was
dead.

At Providence. the other evening, just as
Maggie Mi,chells company was ready to
90 on the stage, Mr.. Sutton, who was to
play the part of the old man Mortimer, re-
ceiyed telegram that his brother was dead.
The play went on, and soon the cheeks of
Miss Mitchell and Mr.. Sutton were bathed
in genuine tears, but the audience little
knew the reality of the griet. Miss Mitch.
ellis mother died only short time since.

The Winterset San says-a train of EN-.
irrant wagons from Minnesota, came to
town Yesterday on their way to Kansas.
On arriving in this city, they learned for the
first time, that snow to the depth Of six
inches, or less, had fallen in that locality,
and as they did not wish to locate in 50
cold a country as that they concluded to
stop hereabouts. Sensible.

Dangerous Condition Of the East Wing.

The interior Of tho east wing Of the Court
House Ia an architectural curiosity. II Ia not one,
however, which would attract many gazers, fnas-
much as there aro few people rho could calmly
contemplate these portentous 1ssures In the
walls, without experiencing nervous dread that
the whole stIuCtuI1 was about TO collapse. Tho
architect has doubtles8 found satisfactory reasons
for believing that tue thing 1s al safe, and that
the cracks are mere playful freaks IN which lu-
FAINT buildings are prone to indulge, but those
who are unfinished Into the mysteries Of Chicago
architecture, aad who have seen disastrous re-
suits follow from deficiencies in brick Wafls,
would be apt to regard II With fear and trembling
From the ontsi1e the east wing looks solid,
substantial block, that might be founded upon the
rock OF ages, but on passing under the portal
from CLARK street the Impression Of solidlty
ganishes. It Is series OF arches apparently
built upon iron beams. From the centre Of the
arch Immediately adjoining the entrance there Is
streak OF forked lightning. and this figure is re-
peated in most OF the brick walls n the interior.
The wall adjoining the middle building ls full OF
c1ucks, md the whole Ruucture looks shAEF and
ruInoue- It Woud be well to have the building
subjected to scientific before 1t is too
ltte TO remedy the deficiencies. Ali these 1act2
concerning the condition Of this edidce must BE-
the Board Of Supervisors, and yet they seem de.
rer1D1ned to accept It with oil lt5 iRperiecuons,
since they are about advertising fol furniture to
be put INTO It. -..-...., .-......-..
AS far as can be ascertaiued. the fault Is radI-
