a GUESS FOR LIFE.

A volume could be filed with the
stI ange delusiGns entertained by madmen,
and the remarkable pertInacity aud cum
ming they display in carrying out whims
of their disordered minds. In their wild
freaks maniacs frequently evince a method
in their plannings, an adroitness and cool
ness that would do credit to the shrewdest
sane person. We give below thrilling
incident which actually occurred as rela-
ted, one of the parties TO it having been a
prominent army officer.
When my regiment was mustered out
of service, badc adieu to my old COM
rades, and to the army, and opened an
Office in the fourishing town of l.
AS | was starting for the supper table,
on the evening of the third day after my
arrival, the Office bell rang violently, and
soon the boy came in and said that a man
wanted to see the doctor
The visitor was standing by the fire
when | entered. He was tall, powerful
mana perfect giant compared to my
''ive foot SIX" and his great head and
bushy black hair were well fitted to the
monstrous form.
''f you are at liberty, doctor, please
come with me. 1t is but few steps, and
you will not need carriage"
put on my coat and hat and followed
him. 1t was my first call IN L -, and
| fondly hoped it was the forerunner of
many others.
The man strobe on pace ahead of nc
all the time, Notwithstanding my endeav-
ors 10 keep al his side, and he spoke not
a word, not even answering my questions.
Stopping before a substantial looking
residence on one of the principal streets,
he applied the latch-key, and led me into
pleasant little room on the second floor,
"a study thought hung about with good
paintings and elegant chromos, and lined
with books of every name.
Stake a seat, doctor / will step out
moment. Take this chair by the fire,
1t is bitter cold night
The chair was a great unwieldy thing,
but exceedingly comfortable. threw my
feet upon the fender, and leaned back on
the cushion, very well satisfied TO warm q
little before seeing the patient.
| heard the man approach the door,
which was directly back of where l sat,
and heard the door open and close again.
supposed he had gone out, but did moi
look around to see. Indeed, had nc
time, for stout cord was thrown over
my wrists and across my breast, and g
handkerchief bound over my mouth &C

prevent it.

RAINLEss DISTRICTS-FREAKs OF THE
WEATHER. several parts of The world
there is no rain at all. In the Old World
there are two districts of this kind the
desert of Sahara, in Africa, and in Asia
part of Arabia, Syria and Persia, the other
district lies between north latitude 80 de-
grees and so degrees, and between rs
degrees and llS degrees of east longitude,
including Thiber, Gobiar, Shama and
Mongolia In the New World the rain-
less districts are of much less magnitude,
occupying two narrow strips on the shores
of Peru and Bolivia, and on the coast of
Mexico and Guatemala, with small dis
trict between Trinidad and Panama on
the coast # Venezuela. Percontra-the
climate Of the khasia mountains, which lie
northeast from Calcutta, is most remarka-
bic Tor the excessive fall OF rain. This
great rain fall is attributed TO the abrupt
ness of the mountains that face the bay
of Bengal and the intervening fat swamp
200 miles in extent. 1t is not easy al
ways 10 account for the cratic conduct
of the weather upon any estabiis he'd SCI
entitic theory, for ii is asserted there is a
district nSibcria in which, during winter,
the sky is constantly clear, and where a
particle of snow never falls.

A MANS LIFE SAVED BY THE CLOCK
STRIKING THIRTEEN.-Mr. John Hatfield,
who has just died in England at the age
of one hundred and two, was soldier in
the time of William and Mary. He was
tlied and condemned TO death for sleeping
on his post, on the terrace of Windsor
He absolutely denied the charge, and sol
emuly declared that, instead of sleeping
on lis post, he distinctly heard the clock
of ST. Paul's strike thirteen at midnight
The truth Of this was much doubted by
the court, because of the great distance OF
ST Paurs church from the post where he
was stationed. While under sentence Of
death, affidavit was made by several per-
sons that the clock of ST. Pauls did actu-
ally strike thirteen instead of twelve upon
that night, which circumstances saved his
life, and he was pardoned by his Majesty.
This number thirteen, usually considered
SO unlucky, could not be called so in tie
case Of John Hatfield.

ODE TO THE EVENING STAR.
By ANTONIO.

Beautiful star Of the beautiful night,
Beautiful spark OF Gods beautiful light,
Oh but love in my loneness to be,
Beautiful planet, gazing on thee
While thou art shining, oh beautiful star,
Shedding thy mild light from heaven afar.
Cheering the heart, dispensing the dark,
And mis'ry and sorrow, OH beautiful spark
Beautiful star Of the beautiful sky,
Beautifu! token Of our haven on high.
Beautiful jewel. shining so clear.
Beaut fu souls in thy radiance cheer
To night thou art shining, away on the sea,
And macy tried sailor looks upon thee,
Beautiful gem. guide for them be,
Beautiful star of the beautiful sea.

country. and from its giddy height stone
can be thrown into the river 100 feet be-
low.
The excellent state of preservation of the
wood and materials used in these caves is
due TO their sheltered position and the dry,
hot climate of the country. Were it not
for this, nothing would have been known
of these people, as every thing perishable
which had been used in the construction
of these houses has decayed wherever it
has been exposed TO the Gather
Much has been said of these ruins and
many speculations have been made as to
the builders but it is all speculation, as
no one knows who they were A volume
might be written on this subject, and still
leave it unfinished

THE SHADOW CARAVAN.
A LEGEND.

I- s--.g. LEGEND.
Der the broad Arabian desert
Float the quvering wings of night,
Softly glowing far awestward,
Sheds the sun a feeble light.
Oft, tits said. that here at night time,
Mid this vast. expansive waste,
Thousand feet and ghostly beings.
Shapeless. in their course are traced.
All. all from times beginning
Till the present, who have died
On this vast Arabian desert,
Flock together siie by side.
Onward, onward, see the millions!
See the CHASTITY camel hordesi
Warriors there with scars from battle,
With their lances and their swords.
Onward. onward. still forever
Sweeps this dismal shadow throng,
Oh! what horrid shapes of evil.
Bear this ghastly train along!
There are madens. youthful maidens,
See their wasted forms arise!
Whence they came, OF how they perished,
AS hidden myst'ry lies.
Whittier journey these unseemly,
HoTEid spectreS, none can tell
And their hapless, fearful mission,
Is mystery as well.
Still unceasing. still collecting, -
Myriads far. for miles along;
Seems it strange that this broad desert,
Holds 50 vast a muster throng.
All who see these shapes arising,
Hear their long. wild piteous moan.
Qnickly hasten for their safety,
Kiss the Kaba's holy stone.
But the beauteous light of morning,
Rouses every Arab heart.
For the shades of night dispensing,
So these shadowy forms depart.

IHE SECRET VAULTS BENEATH Coz
srANTINoPLE "A correspondent of the
French Journal Official, writes as follows:
About forty years ago, when large
house in Constantinople had sunk beneath
the level of the soil, an immense series of
subterranean vaults were discovered, sup
ported by magnificent marble pillars,
which, judging by their rich decorations,
were the work of Greek artists. Under
meath the vaults is a lake of unknown
extent aud of considerable depth. This
mysterious construction, of which history
makes no mention, is supposed to extend
under a considerable part of the city
The principal entrance being the only one
accessible to visitors, is situated in the
court yard of a private palace, tie propri-
etor of which has a boat in which he
amuses himself sailing about within a
hundred yards of the entrance
Last month an Englishman, accompa-
MED by sailor, desired to explore the
lake thoroughly. Having obtained the
necessary permission, he set forth on his
adventurous journey, but never returned,
he and the sailor having been asphyxiated
beyond the reach of help.
Another Englishman volunteered to go
alone in search of them in another boat,
| with six torches attached to II for long
/ time the reflection Of Tue torches upon the
/ waters was visible TO the on-lookers at
! the entrance, until it was lost in the gloom
| and darkness. After an absence of two
hours, he reformed from his unsuccessful
search completely exhausted, and nearly
ehoked with the foul air he had inhaled
having in his whole course seen the ran
ges of vaults and pillars uniformly CON
tinued. The Turkish authorities hav,
ordered the boat to be lifted, and prohi6
tied parties from sailing on the lake, bu
! still permit The curious 10 inspect this sin
gular construction at the entrance, which
reminds the beholier Of the architecture

Deihrs Red CHAP BearG1ess White

is among the hardest and most produc-
tive Wheats of this class cultivated. 1t
has now been introduced into every
State, and has established itself favora-
bly, in all. The grain is smaller in size
and quality to the Boughton, and will
preserve its white, plump quality much
longer. Its chief recommendation are
tie sureness of its crops, its car'inrss
and its abundant yield Many of the
reports from those who have sown it,
report a yield of 40 to A bushels to the
acre, and speak of the superior quality
of the grain. 1t will do well wherever
white wheat can be raised; but will
always pay best in the best soil Wet
and damp lands do not answer for tn 3
wheat, but it will succeed on all dry,
rich soils.

Lancaster Red WAcM
is also variety of the Red Chall
Bearded Mediterranean. 1t was Oh
tanned l'v selecting from the field, in
Lancaster county, Pa, the earliest and
best developed heads of wheat, and Civ
ing them the most careful cultivation.
From them was again selected the best,
until splendid wheat was obtained
1t was much sought after in Pennsvl-
vania, and gave general satisfaction,
yielding bountiful crops every season.
Changing this wheat from one soil to
another preserved its health and vieor
as it will do for any other, and enabled
it to preserve its popularity for many
FEARS. If soWn year after year in the
same soil it will degenerate like all
others, and grow feeble and liable to
rust and weevil.
Ancona Red timber Beardless WAeat,
imported year ago from the South of
Russia, acclimated one year. The seed
was not sown until in October, a little
too late for fair trial. / believe it will
prove to be good variety in sections
where the winter is moderately mild
1t is a beautiful amber wheat, well
suited to sandy, loamy and loose soils,
where the climate is not so rigorous as
in the Northern States.
Bohemian timber md Salla Amber, Beartlless
Both these varieties were imported
last year from Bohemia, and closely
resemble the Ancona in manner of
growth and size and color of grain
They are called smooth amber whcats,

is harder than the California White,
endures moderately cold weather with
out injury, and can be raised in the
Southern and most of the Western
States. 1t is very prolific and produces
a grain of the finest quality. When
grown to perfection it will yield more
wheat per acre than any other white

imported from Poland in 1868. 1t is
early and hardy, and will acclimate
itself readily to the wheat growing sec
tons of this country. This variety
recommends itself to Northern farmers
especially, and ! am confident will do
well wherever the red chaff varieties
are successfully grown. 1t will con-
tinue to improve for some years to como,

This variety has now been acclimated
three years, and in good soil and favor
able cultivation it has proved very pro-
fitablc. Each years planting has i'm
proved the quality of the straw and the
size Of the grain. 1t stands tho winter
well, and rippns little earlier each
Year. 1t makes compact head of good
size, and will succeed in the wheat sec.

sown about the middle Of September.
