Stray Musings Oh Misguided Love and
Genius.
Respectfully inscribed to A. H.
BY AGRICOLA.

DER others raise thy heart as high
AS is thy gifted spirit,
And shed no tears, nor breathe no sigh,
For what's beneath thy merit.
1t is to orbs that gem the sky,
Earth owes her bues of splendor;
To those, who, mirrored from thine eye
Let not thy heart surrender.
Shine, only with thy dreams so bright,
IT'S wise to be forgetting;
Gems radiant but with borrowed light,
Are worth no golden setting.
So now away such counterfeit,
With darkened skies and sorrows;
A son may dawn upon thee yet,
Whose light the moon might borrow.
Till then keep thy hearts control,
Like fairest May-tlowers blooming,
And with essence of thy soul
The realms of thought pertaining.
The stars that crown the azure dome
OF thy imagination,
Might many darkened mind illume,
AS natures lamps creation.
Now, let such gifts as this engage
Thy heart, and hand, and Tyre,
And nought in life's unwritten page
Fer dim thy muses. fire.
Likepearl-strung lutes in moonlit streams
Blue lakes night lamps revealing;
With joyous light gild each bright dream
Each golden thought and feeling.
Then will thy wealth of thought and love-
Thy life sun-crowned like morning
A priceless boon and blessing prove,
Thy joyous life adjoining.

THE SOFT IMPEAcHMENT.-Seve years
ago Broadway, New York, was regularly
patrolcd by beggar who asked aims of no
other passers-by except old ladies. To
these he addressed himself thus: go young
lady! have pity on a poor beggar." He
was singularly successful in his appeals.
In reply to an inquiry he explained his sus-
cess thus: ''You see, sir, my plan pleases
all the ladies'. Ssme of 'em believe me and
are pleased by the compliment. Others
see it's all sham, and they are tickled by
the joke! so you see l get something from
all of 'em.

HAPPY WoMAN.-A happy woman is
not she the very sparkle and sunshine of
life? A woman who is happy because she
can't help it-whose smile even the coolest
sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen.-
Men make a terrible mistake when they
marry for beauty, for talent, for style the
sweetest wives are those who possess the
magic secret of being contented under any
circumstances. Rich or poor, high or low,
it makes no difference the bright little
fountain of Joy bubbles up just as must
caly in their hearts. Do they live in a
cottage? the freight that leaps up on its
humble hearth becomes brighter than the
gilded chandeliers in an Aladdin palace
Do they eat brown bread, or drink cold
water from the well I? it affords them more
solid satisfaction than the millionaire's
pate de foie gras and iced champagne
Nothing over goes wrong with them no
trouble so serious to them, no calamity SO
dark ard deep, that the sunlight of their
smiles will not "make the best of it,
Was ever the stream of life so dark and
unpropitious that the sunshine of happy
face falling across its turbid tide, would not
awake an answering glaam? Why, these
joyous-tempered people don't know the
good they do.
"A gentleman was passing through
Iillsborough, Mo-, recently, when he came

A Boston gentleman who could not
waltz, offered young lady 800 if she
would let him hug her as much as the man
who had just waltzed with her. 1t was a
good offer and showed that money was no
object to him, but they put him out of the
house so hard that his eye was quite black.
1t was regarded as a strong case of cir
cumstantial evidence in Pittsburg court
the other day, when the plaintiff produced
the skillet with which his wife struck him,
and showed the jury how nicely the three
legs fitted into the holes in his head.
Life is masquerade at which few
unmask, even to their very dearest. And
though there is need of much masking,
would to heaven we dared show our real
faces from birth to death, for then some
few, at least, would truly love each other

There are two reasons why some iao-
pie don't mind their own business. Onc is
that they haven't any business, and the
second that they have no mind.
Many wretch who has been drawn
upon hurdle has done less mischief than

Moral: He was going the wrong way.
The cloudy weather melts at length
into beauty, and the brightest smiles of
the heart arc born of it's tears.
Happiness is perfume that one can
not shed over another without a few drops
falling on ones self.
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than a whole hemisphere of clouds and
gloom.
Better please one good person than a
crowd of bad ones.
There is nothing more fierce than out
ragged tenderness.
Silent deeds are better than profitable
words.

THE NEW PRINTING PRESS OF THE
LONDON TIMES.

The "Viner Nele Freie Pres,e" is Ger
30 900 daily subscribers. 1t is printed up
on an American four.cyliuder press. 1t
seems that there has been a newspaper
quarrel whether or not the new press upon
which the London Times is printed was a
better machine than that OF the Austrian
paper, and the London correspondent of the
latter establishment was asked to give the
p ar.iculars of the Times press. He an
swered the request as follows:
The new press upon which the Times is
printed really prints II, 900 copies on bnth
sides in an hour. 1t is an entirely new
machine, which is of an entirely different
construction than that of the Vienna news
paper. The paper is used, Just as it comes
from the mill, in strips of $500 yards IN
length. 1t is rolled upon 8 cylinder and
moistened by another cylinder, which re-
wolves with its lower half tn water tank.
The paper then moves in its entire length
over couple of cylinders, then returns and
moves over a couple of other cylinders,
whereby it is printed on both sides. After
this the paper is cut and counted by very
ingenious machinery. The single sheets
flv out from the cutter like an uninterrupted
stream of water. The machine does its
own work, from the pumping Of the ink on t
Of the cellar to the counting and folding in
the upper story of the building. The We
locity with which it works is such that the
cylinders upon which the stereo,yped plates
are fastened make two hundred revolutions
in every minute. The whole press is the
most compact machine | ever saw. It
measures fourteen feet BY five feet only.
The inventor of the press is a Mr.. Mecdon-
aid, the director of the Times printing de.
partment He has named the press the
Walter press." i'll honor of the pal
owner of the Times.

The white element in South Carolins,
Radicalism is becoming eclipsed by the aw-
full black shadow of the waking African.
Saturn is no. exactly devouring his children,
but his children are devouring him. The
snakes head is not swallowing its tail, but
the tail is actually swallowing the head. A
Columbia correspondent of the Charleston
Courier writes:
That "the purely colored party" in the
capital Of the State is growing in power and
assumption every day. The white Radicals,
native a~d imported, are striving, with fiat
teries aud threats, to keep the man and
brother in q subordinate position; Blu, the
man and brother has learned the power of
numbers, and declines to be kept under.
He talks logically of Potassium in ofiis,' and
audaclously iutimates thut he is as good as

he can along without the carpet Dagger BE-
ter than the carpet Dagger can get along
him, and so he declares that, at tina next
election, the Radical ticket nall ha al

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies. ''Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, bronchitis,
and every form Of Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt
matter by expeotoration, purifes the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails.
.'schenck's seaweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia Ind gestion, and all diseases arts
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place OF the gas
tric juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to digest the most nutritious food. Ii
is sovereign remedy for all cases OF indiges
ton.
'1Schenck's Mandrake Pills." one of the most
valuable medicines discovered, being Il veg
esable substitute for caIomel, and having all the
useful properties escribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of it's injurious effects.
To these three medicines DIR. J. IL. Sohenek,
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pull
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges it. and puriies the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructions
therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint which is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers OF
the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion
and bringing II to a normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers OF tubercles in the
langs becomes impossible. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of Consumptiea. if the remedies are
used in time and the of them is persevered
| in sufficiently to bring the case TO favorable
termination.
