Grandmother'> Needle.



Two merry little maidens sat under the
great old oak, that for so many years, had
cast its shadow in their Grandmothers gar
den. 1t was their fayorite play ground and
as they chatted of their toys and books. Mary
said to her sister, Nellie, how | wish could
sew as neatly and as rapidlyas Graudmamma
does Did you ever watch her bright little
needle as il flies in and out ?" "Oh yes, "
replied Nellie, " very often she always uses
the same one | sometimes think perhaps it
was gift from the fairies.'
=" If so, said Mary, who was at once con-
ynced that it possessed magic power. it
shall be ours when Grandmamma dies
One day the weary little needle was care
fully placed in the worn morocco case by
Grandmamma's hands for the last time Her
task was done and countless garments, with
their neat seams and tiny stitches bore evi-
dence how faithfully ii had been performed
The industrious hands We're still iorever-and
dear Grandmamma was at rest in Heaven.
But what became of the bright little nee
die?
All! will tell you. Nellie and Mary did
not fail to secure their prize They found it
resting too, in its little flannel bed With
no thought for the dear one who placed it
there, Nellie eagerly grasped the shining treas
ure Both were anxious to test its marvel
Gus power; first one, and then the other,
sought to pass the thread through its spark
ling little eye, but all in vain. Each time
they failed, and were finally convinced that
something closed the passage, Then the i'm
patient Nellie forced another needle through

A Beautiful Reflection.

II cannot be that earth is mans only abid-
ing place. Ii cannot be that our life is a
bubble, cast upon the ocean of eterDity, to
float upon its waves and sink into nothingness
Else why is it that the high and glorious as
pirations which leap like angels from the tenn
pie of our hearts, are wandering about unsat-
s6ed forever? Why is il that the rainbow
and the cloud come over US with beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off and
leave US to muse upon their faded loyeliness ?
Why is it thas the stars which hold their fes-
tival around the midnight throne, are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties, for
ever moeking us with their unapproaehable
glory? And, finally, why is il that bright
forms Of human beauty are presented TO our
view and then taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of affection to flow back in
Alpine torrents upon our hearts We are
born for higher destiny than that of earth.
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will be spread out be-
fore us like islands that slumber on the ocean,
and where the beautiful things which here
pass before us like shadows win stay in our
presence forever.--Preafice

LOVED TOO LATE.

/ Far oil in the dim and desolate Past

Where wrecks are driven by wave and blast,

Poor heart
Long ago broken for me

Al, dangerous rivals three

Even that which was broken for me?
Poor heart
Too rare 20 he broken for me
Oh. She was more mild than the summer wind,
More lair than che lilies le
More true than the star with twilight twined
Was the spirit against whose love ! snuetl-
The heart that was broken for me-

That only bis love should be

REyERDr JoHNsoN AND ms FEEs-rhe New
York Suh's Washington correspondent tells this
little story of our minister to England While
Reyerdy Johnsln's name was before the Senate
COMMITTEES on foreign relations, a member of the
House called upon very distinguished Senator
on the committee, and asked him whether he
knew from the official records that Mr.. Lincoln
sent Reyerdy johnson to New Orleans as an ar
hitter in the case of the 5000, 900 in gold which
Gen Butler believed to be the property of the
Confederate government, and which was claimed
by foreign banking house, and that after an ex-
animation, johnson decided that it was the prop
erty of the foreign house, and Mr.. Lincoln ac-
oordingly turned 1t over, The Committeeman
replied that he knew these facts lie was then
asked whether he knew Mr.. Johmsln's handwrit-
ing lie replied in the affirmative, and his visitor
harded him receipt signed by Reyerdy johnson
(and dated while he was making that examina-
toni for fee Of $1,000 from the banking house
for attending to some unimportant business on
his return north Subsequent developments
showed conclusively that the money was Conied-
crate property, aud that It's surrender was gross
blunder The senator saw the bearing of the
case against Mr.. johnson, and announced his IN
tention to oppose Johnson's confirmation; but
senatorial pride swept away all opposition, and
because Mr.. johnson was q senator he was con-
irmed Now, more than one senator openly de-
clares that Minister johnson has sold out 10 Eng
land, as Arbiter johnson sold out Mr. Linolh.

Another Accident ON the Central Ohio
Railroad. 80


From the Zantsui!!e CuHer Of 7ticNlay.
An accident happened Just beyond
Section Sixteen, @. o. Railroad, a short
time after II o'clock last night. It
seems that two stock trains went east.
the second following the flrst pretty
closely. After the first train had pass
ed over the summit, four or Ave cars
became uucoupled aud were LETT on the
track, the train passing a short distance
ahead. The second train passed over the
section, and soon after came In contact
with the cars detached from the Clrst
train, perfectly demolIshIng them, and
scattering the -four and cattle with
which they were loaded In every dl.
reclion. James Wlntermute Johus,
brakeman on the first train, who was
on the cars demolished by the second
train, was thrown a distance OF some
forty feet, and had both legs broken
above the knee joints, and both bones
OF the left arm, and the small bone Of
his right arm, between the elbow and
wrist joints. He was brought 10 his
home on North Third streets, this morn.
Ing, when Drs, Hlldreth and Young set
the bones OF the broken limbs. It Is
thought he will recover. The fog at
the time OF the accident was 80 dense
that the engineer OF the second train
coRld not see the signal lights on the
cars left on the track until too close 10
avert collision. =
