The Hand-Grasp at the Door

We may travel all over the world,
Ay, as far as the bows may roll,
Where they northwaid oil southwark are hurled
Against ice fields that girdle the pole
We may wander wherever we list,
We may journey earth's confines all DER
But the Joy that cannot resist
Is the grasp Of the hand at the door.
For ut length when our holidays past
And we gladly return DER the foam,
The one joy that's not least although lat
Is the hand-grp that welcomes us hohiol
There's a something electric, that thrills
In the touch OF the hands that We know
Which nor absence the longest-e'er kills.
Nor distance-where eer we may gc
II speaks from the heart TO the heart
From earth's tartheat-its utteimuIt shore;
We remember, though oceans apart,
The warm grasp oil the hand ut the door.
For wherever our fortunes are cast
Meath the Heavens cerulean dome,
The one joy that we looked for at last
Is the hsnd-gtip that welcomes us home
In the silence OF African wilds
When sleep closes the travellers eyes,
IN slumber, as soft as a chid'si
The dear visions of home viii ar1se
But Of all the best dreams Of delight
That around him kind fancy can pour
Far the happiest fiction of night
Ii the grasp Of the hand at the door
In the wilderness lonely and vast
Ay, wherever on earth we may roln,
The loved dream that deserts us the last
Is the hand-grip that welcomes us hpnlf'
But we need no long absence to show
Ahl we need no wide distance to teach
That the dearest Of all things below
Is the home-love in waiting for each
Is the home that he cannot iorgeti
For his heart is not sound at the core,
Whose breast has not leapt when 1t met
The warm grasp of the hand at the door
Heat aud cold we endured-storm and blast
Waves we iorded-and mountains we elonb-
Are forgotten completely Mt last
In tho handgrip that welcomes MS home
Though for long or for little we part
Tried affection all count Is above,
For you can't plumb the depths OF a heart,
You can't measure the leagues Of q love.
Birth and beauty and riches are naught-
For birth, beauty, and riches In store
Never-never welcome have bought
Like the grasp of the hand at the door.
| All! how dear when or holidays past,
when we gladly return o'er the foam,

A. GHosT STeRY.-They have a house in
New Orleans, according to the P9cdyune,
winch is haunted with dogs. A well known
and respectable citizen named Taylor re-
Gently rented this house, despite It's ghostly
reputation, and determined TO prove the er-
ror OF the common report. Providing him
self with light, and lunch, and newspapers,
he made his solitary night encampment In
one of its rooms, and, having fallen asleep,
was suddenly awakened at midnight by the
fierce barking of a dog. Sprlnging TO his
feet, it is reported, she was surprised to see
a huge blue dog, larger than the st. Bernard
species, standing in the centre OF the room,
and barking at him furiously. The walls
were covered with shadows OF dogs, and the
ghostly CANNES even walked around on the
ceilings; and as they passed along a shadowy
footprint would be left for moment on the
wall or floor. All of a sudden, Mr. Taylor
says, another gigantic dog, waving fearful
looking caudal appendage, sprung into the
room as ii in answer 10 the angry challenges
of the first one, and they at once engaged in
fight The combat was furious. Blood
would fly from their mouths, and no noonel
had it touched the floor than the drops would
turn into fully grown dogs, who mingled II
! the strife. BY this time the whole houst
resounded with the fierce barking Of thI
angry brutes. They rushed through th'
halls, up the staircases, and into the room
overhead. They even descended to th
chimneys, and finally forming themselve
into a battalion in the hall, like men at drill
marched In double file through the from
door and disappeared In the street." Sucl
dogs tale as the foregoing was perhap
never before told, and as Mr.. Taylor is sal
TO be an old and well known citizen, 1t

Throat Disease.

Some years ago poor young man hired q
small room in Boston for the purpose of
selling old and new books at auction In the
long winter nights. He understood his
business, the wants and tastes oil the people,
and was successful; his little room began to
be crowded, while the heat of the stove, the
smoke Of cigars, the fumes OF tobacco saliva
and the emanatlons from molly mob of
human beings, made the apartment poison
Gus hole. The audience was different every
night, and was continually changing, by
individuals coming in and taking the places
of those going out, but the auctioneer re-
mained the whole time, not only breathing a
vitiated atmosphere, but oyerstraining and
overheating the voice-organs In this heated
and exhausted condition he would go out
into the cold air 10 his home. His mouth
being open in walking, his throat and neck
unprotected against the winter air, the voice
organs became diseased; presently they
began TO lose their power OF throwing of
the effects OF the little colds taken from time
to time which invariably settled in the
throat. Meanwhile slighter causes gave
colds, and longer time was required 10 get
rid of them, and all at once he noticed that
he was frequently hAekigg or hemmlng or
clearing his throat; thee little tickling In
the throat; next ever so slight cough on
rising in the morning. But while all this
was going on ne was making fortune, ana
he retired from business with hundred
thousand dollars and a oonsumpiive cough,
of which he died in less than year after he
gave up business.
This narration applies to clergymen, some
of whom die every year long before their
time, from simply exposing themselves to
the out door air too soon alter preaching.
Some get on a horse or into vehicle TO
fulfil an appointment miles away, and in the
quiet condition of the body, while thus
riding, and there being more or less wind in
motion, the tender voice.organs are chilled
in few seconds, inducing, sometimes within
an hour, more or less OF clearing the throat
by hemming. In some constitutions, natur
ally feeble from age, or a too sedentary life
pneumonia is induced by such an exposure
| followed by death in few days. One o
the most eminent aad able clergymen of thii
generation thus perished not long ago. Il
men do not learn and obey the laws of oul
being, a miracle will not be wrought to save
them from the penalty. Even in summer
| time il is dangerous 10 ride Immediately after
delivering an address; take an hour to COO
off slowly, and eat something first-for In

WALKING HoRsEs.--The best gait horse
ever had for every day use is good walk.
1t is a gait that not one in ten possesses.
Colts are not trained to walk In all of the
Eastern States Young America wants
more speed. Kentucky has more good walk
ing horses than any other State, for there
horseback travelling has long been in fash
ion for men and women, over country
where muddy roads at times rendered any
other gait impossible, and so trained to
walking gait. This is also the case III all
the Western States, and perhaps might have
been so in New England, when our grand
mothers rode to meeting ON pillion behind
our grandfathers. But one horse wagons
have put horseback riding out of fashion,
and now good walking horse is more rare
than one that can trot mile in $40. At
the Springfield (Mass.) Horse Show oil 1868,
the writer was one OF the committee to
award prizes to the two best walking horses.
Out of seventeen entered, the committee
| found but one which was considered first
| rate walker. This was a Morrill, mare,
| which walked five miles an hour with ease.
Two others were fair walkers and the rest
knew no gait that could be called walking.
At the New York State Fair the same state
of facts was again developed. A letter from
Wisconsin says "I think horses trained to
walk fast, would be a greater benefit to our
farmers il their work has to be done with q
walk" l once knew man in Massachu-
setts, who, before the railroads were built
kept from two to four teams at work on th'
road, and never allowed them 10 trot at all
and made the distance in quicker time th0r
his neighbors, who make their horses trot
convenient places. He said that when
horse commenced to walk after trot, b
walked much slower than his common gait
: and thereby lost more than he gained. vii
farmers think of this and pay more attention
: to walking horsesg-FarmeTs' Home Jour

FIVE CENTS WORTH OF ORANGE PEEL.
"A man from the country invested ave
cents in the purchase of an orange, and pre-
paratory to getting himself outside OF It,
threw the peel ON the sidewalk. Soon after

day, hut wasn't. The man who was 10
marry her had come from ST. Paul, Mimi,
and was obliged to return, on account OF
business, TO await the recovery oil the girl.
On his way back he unfortunately took a
train on the Erie railroad, which ran OIL the
track, and his shoulder blade was broken,
forcing him 10 stop at Dunkirk for repairs,
The Travellers Insurance Company, in which
he was insured had TO pay $3.50 in week
ly instalments before he recovered. On
getting back to st. Paul he found that bis
forced absence had upset business ar
rangement which he had expected to COM
plete, at pecuniary loss 10 HIM of $4,000
Meantime the injured girl suffered relapse,
which so enfeebled her health that her mar
riage was delayed, which had bad eftecl
upon the young man, and he finally broke
the engagement and married widow IN
Minnesota with four small children. Thii
so worked upon the mind OF the glrl, tina
she is now in the insane hospital in Middle

COURAGE OF MAzEINL-Among the many
great qualities by which Mazzini has attrac-
led a party to himself in Italy, courage of
the highest order is undoubtedly one. A
Roman correspondent says that all attempts
to arrest the revolutionary leader have been
baffled by his wonderful GOODNESS. One in-
stance is particularly striking Piedmon-
tese police officer was sent in command OF
section OF police in Charles Alberrs time TO
arrest him, and every indication OF the house
was gwen. He was known to be in it, and
it was so surrounded that there was no es-
cape. The police entered, and, on asking
the old woman who opened the door where
her master was, she said he was in the study
writing. They went all over the house,
and found paper and pens, and the ink wet
on a freshly written sheet, but no Mazzini.
At last they withdrew. Three days later
they knew that Mazzini himself, as his own
housekeeper, had opened the door. In the
year of Aspromonte he passed twice through
Ancona, disguised as franciscan going
and returning from the Holy Land, and hi
has been in Florence, there Is little doubt
| within the last two years.
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1869-06-01

A LAZY MAN.-The lazy man is almost
always good-natured. He never flies into
passion. He might crdloI into one, If that
were possible, but the idea of his flying into
anything is preposlerous Who ever heard
of crazy man breaking into bank, where
a crowbar had to be used, or drilling into q
sate-nobody. Not that he might not covet
his neighbors goods therein contained, but
his horror oil handling crowbars and drills
would always deter him from actually COM
hitting burglary. he never runs away with
his neighbours wife, simply on account OF
the horror he has of running. If he Is ever
known to run 1t is-run TO seed. He rarely
lies about his neighbors, for il would be too
much exertion, but he can lie about bar
room about all day. He is of inestimable
service TO billiard saloon, keeping the chairs
warm and watching the game, for few would
care TO play where there are no spectators.
The fact that he does this without pay, day
in and day out, shows the unselishness OF
hia nature What an Industrious man, whc
cnnsidAf4 his tin, sss4ssi aeF- -'-s.''i
want pay for, the lazy man generally does
for nothing, showing freedom from merce-
nary motives that should go far to his credit.
The lazy man never gets up revolutions, in
surrections or other popular excitements,
and don't make a nuisance OF himself by
tramplng around the country making incen-
diary speeches to promote public discomfort
In his own nelghborhood he is never busy
body in other peoples affairs-the very idea
of being busy body at anything would drive
him out of his head. BY the way, If he
ever got out of his head you would have to
drive him out, for he would not have the
energy to go out of his own accord. No
, lazy man ever run mad. II he went crazy
| it was because he could go nowhere else
,, without walking. Lazy men don't disturb
tho quiet OF peaceful neighbors by putting
! up factories, furnaces and such abominations
. Finally, lazy men don't get up base bal
