SOME MOTHERS CHILD.
BY FRANCIS L. keller.

There is a lesson inculcated in the follow
ing lines, which, il taken into all of our
| hearts, would make this world brighter,
| more beautiful and happy, to the poor and
unfortunate, for 1t is a lesson of charity
Many a sensitive soul would be spared bitter
pangs, and many wandering ones reclaimed
to lives of truth and goodness. So, in read
ing these lines, let us all remember how sub
lime a virtue is charity:
At home or away, in the alley or street,
Wherever l chance in this wide world TO
meet,
A girl that IL thoughtIess, or a boy that is
My heart echoes sadly, 'Tis some mothers
child"
And when see those o'er whom long years
have rolled,
Whose hearts have grown hardened, whose
spirits are cold,
BE it woman all fallen, or man ali defiled,
Avoiee whispers sadly, "Ah! some mothers
No matter how far from the right she hath
strayed:
No matter what inroads dishonor hath
No matter what element cankered the Pearl,
Though tarnished and sullied, she's some
mothers girl.
No matter how wayward his footsteps have
been;
No matter how deep he is sunken i'm sin;
No matter how low is his standard of joy
Though guilty and loatlIsome, he is some
mothers boy.
That head hath been piIlowed on the tender
est breast,
That form hath been wept DER, those lips
have been pressed;
That soul hath been prayed for i'm tones sweet
and mild;
For her sake deal gently with some mothers
child.

The Buried Treasure and Archives OF
the COnfcderacy.

The Theta Delta Chi fraternity,
which met at the Astor House, New
York, i'm February last, listened to an
Grafton 10y William l.. Stone, who in
the course of some interesting reminis-
ccnccs of the rebellion, spoke of David
TiIghman as the officer selected by the
Confederate government to take charge
of its treasure and archives.
On the morning of Mr.. Davis cap
ture, says Mr.. Stone, Tilghman waited
upon him at his bedside and said: "Mr.
Davis, 10y this map you may see that
the enemy are here; such and such Is
the situation of the roads. If you come
with me you will be able to leave the
country in safety. IfyOu do not, you
will be captured in five hours" To
which Mr.. Davis replied curtly, that
he "knew his own business best"
Tilghman continued, "Very well, sir
| have been entrusted with the treas
ure and archieves, and propose to Sc
cure them, even at the peril of the loss
of your favor and my life. l shall star;
at once, 10y the route l have marked
out.n
The result is well known. In less
than five hours Mr.. Davis was pris-
oner, but the archives were safe.
Wlren a few weeks after, in the recesses
OF the forest, Tilghman learned that all
was lost, he alone and with his own
hands, buried the treasures and arch
ives; unless, during the four days that
elapsed between parting with me and
his untoward death, he revealed the
spot, the secret as TO the whereabouts
ofthe archives is forever buried; and
as long as they shall he kept from the
pen of man, so long shall the story be o
monument to our brothers unswerving
fidelity. This is the true history of the
archives of the Southern COnfederacy,
although rumors are from time to time
set afioat of their being now i'm the
vaults of this bank, and now of that.

Boys, Read This.

A New York paper says: A few
years ago large drug firm in this city
advertised for boy. Next day thestore
was thronged with applicants, among
them queer-lOOking little fellow, ac-
companied by a woman, who proved
to be his aunt, in lieu of faithless pa
rents, by whom he had been abandon
ed. Looking at this little waif, the
merchant in the store promptly said: {:
"Can't take him in, places all full be-
sides, he is small" az know he is
small" said the woman, "but he is
willing and faithful" There was q
twinkle i'm the boys eyes which made
the merchant think again. A partner
in the firm volunteered the remark
that he "didn't see what they wanted
with such boy-he wasn't bigger than
a pint of cider" But after cOnsulta-
ton the boy was set to work. I'D
A few days later call was made on
the boys in the store for some one to
stay an night. The prompt response
of the little fellow cOntrasted well with
the reluctance of others. In the mid
die of the night the merchant looked
in to see il all was right i'm the store,
anu pfeSeutly uiscONercu HIS yOutuiul
prOtege scissoring labels. "What are
you doing?n said he; az did not tell
you to work ::nights.n 81 know you
did not tell me 50, but thought /
might as well be doing something In
the morning the cashier got orders to
"double that boys wages, for he is
,Oillhag." Only a few weeks passed be-
fore a show of wild beasts passed
through the streets, and very naturally
all hands in the store rushed to witness
the spectacle. A thief saw his oppor-
tunity, and entered at the rear door to
seize something, but i'm q twinkling
found himself firmly clutched by the
diminutive clerk aforesaid, and after a
struggle was captured. Not only was
robbery prevented, but valuable articles
taken from other stores were recovered.
When asked by the merchant why he
stayed behind to watch when all others
quit their work, the reply was, "You
told me never to leave the store when
others were absent, and / thought I'd
stay" Orders were Immediately given
once more, Double that boys WAGES;
he is tcilling and faithful" To-day
that boy is getting salary of g, 800,
and next January will become a MEM
Der of the firm. II -.f

The nIllman and the Housewife.
BY j. II. EWING.

The Good People cannot abide mearp-
ness. They like to be literally dealt
with when they beg or borrow OF the
human race; and, on the other henth
to those who come to them In need,
they are invariably generous
Now there Onced lived cerAin
housewife who had q sharp eye % hep
own interests In temporal mattsfS 80
gave aims of what she had no use ia
for the good Of her soul. One day .
Hillman knocked at her door.
Can you lend us a saucepan, gucf
mother ?" said he. "There'sa weddine
in the hill, and all the pots are in use.S
"Is he to have one" asked the ser.
want lass who had opened the door.
"Ay, to be sure" answered the
housewife. "One must be neighboriy.r
But when the maid was taking
saucepan from the shelf, she pinchef
that, you slut. Get the old one out OF
the cupboard. 1t leaks and the Hill
men are SO neat, and such nimble
workers, they are sure to mend II be-
fore they send it home. So one obliges
the Good People, and saves sixpence In
tinkering. But you'll never learn TO b
notable whilst your head Is on your
shoulders
Thus reproached, tbe maid fetched
the saucepan, which had been laid
by till the tinker's next visit, and gave
it to the dwarf, who thanked her and
went away. .H
In due time the saucepan was ne
turned, and, as the housewife had fore
seen, it was neatly mended and ready
for use.
AT suppertime the maid filled The
pan with milk, and set It on the fire for
the children's supper. But In a few
minutes the milk was so burnt and
smoked, that no one could touch it,
and even the pigs refused to wash with
which it was mixed.
"Ah, good-for-ncthing husseyw cried
the housewife, as she re-filled the pan
herself, "you would ruin the richest
with your carelesness. There's whole
quart of good milk wasted at once!"
And that's t,Co pence ~ cried q voice
which seemed to come from the chlm-
ney, in a nasal, Whitney tone, like some
natering, discontented old body going
over her grievances.
The housewife had not left the sauce
pan for two minutes, when the mllh
boiled over, and it was oil burnt end
smoked as before.
i. 1.-THE pan must be dirtS, nnfsd
the good woman, In great vexatfda;
and there are two full quarts OF inffk -
good as thrown to the dogs"
And that's Jourpcnccr added aM
voice in the chimney.
After q thorough cleaning, The saucsa
nan was once more filled and aet On
the fire, but with no better success. The
milk was hopelessly spoilt and the
housewife shed tears of vexation at the
waste, crying, "Never did such thing
befall me since kept housep
"And that's siTpenecr cried The
voice from the chimney. You didn't
sdre the ttnkcriug, after al, O,sthor r
With which the Hillman himself
came tumbling down the chimney, and
went off laughing through the door.
But thenceforward the saucepan was
as good as any other.-Aunt JWdy's

How Glass Paper Weights are Made.

Every one knows the PAPER weights
of solid colorless glass, In hemisphere
cal shape, in the centre of which are
boquets, portraits, and even watches
and barometers, etc, etc., but few per-
sons know how or by what means these
things are incarcerated In the center Of
this glass.
The first thing to be done Is 10 sors
and arrange q certain quantity of small
glass tubes Of different colors, IN the
cavities of thick molten disc, dispose
ing them according to the object to be
represented. This done, the tubes are
inclosed between two layers of glass;
to do this they begin by placing on one
side of the disc which contains the
tubes, a layer of crystal, to which the
tubes soon become attached. When
this is done the disc Is removed, and q
secondfayer of crystal Is placed on the
opposite side. The object being placed
i'm the center between these two layers
of glass thus soldered together, it be-
comes necessary to give the ball its
hemispherical form, which IL done,
when the crystal Is again heated, by
means of q concave spatula Of moist
ened wood. 1t then remains to anneal
it, and to polish it on the wheel.
That glass ornament, being cover
ed with layer of hot glass, should re-
ceive no injury or change Of color, NAV
be easily understood from its refract0.
ry nature but 1t is not the same with
objects i'm metal, such rs watches, bar.
Ometers, etc., which q far less degrees
of heat would oxodize or even entirely
destroy. The mode Of manufacture.
therefore, of these latter objects is quite
different from that of the first. IL is
easy to prove this.
III we look at paper weight, provid-
ed the interior he Of glass, the upper
and under part of the recipient wilt be
also of glass. If we now examine n
paper weight containing q watch on
barometer, under the lower part of the
ball will be found piece Of green cloth,
the use of which is to keep In place the
object which, instead Of only forming
one body with the covering Of glass
which surround them, are only pIaqai
in o cavity, made beforehand a .
center Of the half-spherfcal tnlh
In word, to take out the glVs 6dn4
ments 1t would be necessary to brp0e
the paper weight, whilst to take out
the others IL would suffice to take ~
the cloth. As for the paper wpishts
in which are placed portraits usually o4
q yellowish color, these profiles are
made of refractory earth, and may thus
bear well a heat which only softens
glass. Manufactured successfully at
Venice under the name of millefiori,
and then I'm Bohemia, these paper
weights have been carried to perfection
only by French artists. The sole diff
Guilty in their manufacture Is In avoid
ing internal air bubbles, which would
the more deform the object, rs any de-
feet would be much more increased by
the thickness of the glass Wonders OF

MARRY In HASTE AND REPENT AT

And my husband does nothing but snub.
Between me and you, he ne'er comes home

And says he's detained at his club.
To increase my despair, his jet curly hair
discovered was false,-(how cried) :,
When he doesn't 60 out, it's thro' having the

And his beautiful whiskers are dyed.
Oh, dear! All, me etc.

UNCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE OVER An
IMALs.-Thc horse is like his driver,
and the dog like his master. Ancrv-

gets a chance. Many COW is spoiled

The miIkcr, an2 the amount of milk
depends more upon the milker than
than the pasturage. If man is afraid
OF a horse, the animal knows it before
he goes into the stable. We have
seen the most inoflcnsivc COW in the
herd so wrought upon by the nervous
ness of grccnhorn, son of Erin, as 10

Spanish gentlemen speak with great
enthusiasm of the handsome behavior
i'm a recent duel of two naval officers OF
high rank, intimate friends, who had
quarreled over their cups. They fought
twenty PAGES apart, to advance to a
central line and fire at will. One walk
ed forward, and when near the line the
other fired andhi him. The wounded
man staggered to the line and said, Il
am dead. Come thou up and be kill
ed" The other came up until he
touched the muzZle of his adversary's
pistol, and in a moment both were
dead-like gentlemen.

PLUCKY.-Old Parson Nudge, of Es-
sex County, got to be rather unpopl-
lar with his flock toward the latter part
OF his labors. They could not dismiss
hlm, as he was settled for life, and he
was not to be either coaxed, bought or
scared Off, so he continued his preach
lng-but every Sunday his audience
grew less and less, until it had dwin-
ed down to a bakers dozen. How
be it, the old parson kept along In the
even tenor of his way, declaring that
he would not give up as long as he could
say 'we." Finally, his flock was re-
duced to the solitary old deacon, to
whom he preached for nearly year,
when the old saint died-then, as the
indomitable preacher man could not
say 1--WE" he gave up the pulpit.

The place occupied by a Mormon
wife i'm her husbands household is
simply that of a servant, with fewer
privileges than has Jane the cook, or
Lucy the waiter, in our domestic econ-
omy. She has 20 'afternoon out y

followers" ;" and no chance of a change.
But she has hard work, unrealizable in
our comfortable houses; the privilege
of waiting upon the master of the house
when he chooses to call upon her SER
vices; and the belief that the more pa
tiently she bears the cross of the pres
