A Beautiful Scene.

The following graphic pas
sage is from the description of q
scene witnessed by a Mr.. Camp
bell and his party, in the north
of Norway, from cliff, 1000
feet above the sea - -.tE GA.
"The ocean stretched away In
silent vastness at our feet; the
sound of its waves scarcely
reach our airy lookout. Away
in the north the huge old sun
hung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat, beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of
our grandfather's parlor corner.
We all stood silent looking at
our watches. When both hands
came together at II, midnight,
the full, round orb hung tri-
umphantly above the waves, a.
bridge of gold running due
north spahned the water be-
tween as and him. There he
shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We involun-
tariIy took off our hats, no
word was said. Combine, if
you can, the most brilliant sun
rise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before
the gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, heay-
ems and mountain. In half an
hour the sun had swung up per-
ceptibly on his beat, the colors,
changed to those of morning, q
fresh breeze rippled over the
flood, one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind Us,
we had slid into another day.

war-talk, presented a bundle of
sticks, gave piece of wampum

Big Warrior took. When Tecum-
sch, reading the spirit and inten.

him in the eye, and pointing his
finger toward his face, said /:

and left the Big Warrior in utter
alnazement at 10th his msnDer
and threat, anG pursued his jour
ney. The Indians were struck
no less with his conduct than
was the Big Warrior, and began to
dread the arrival of the day WHEN
the threatened calamity would
befall them. They met often and
talked over the matter, and count.
ed the days carefully, to know
the time when Teeumseh would
reach Detroit. The morning they
had fixed upon as the period of

all ran out of their houses, the

last, sure enough, every house in
Tuckhabatchee was shaken down |

cal. The message he had deliv-
cred to the Big Warrior was be-
lieved, and many of the Indians
took their rifles and prepared for
the.war. The reader will not be
to learn that the earth
quake had produced all this; but
he will be, doubtless, that it should
happen on the very day on which
Tecumseh arrived at Detroit, and
in exact fulfillment of his threat.
It was the famous earthquake of
New Madrid.

The Ice Business.

| The New York Esesssag MaiS
speaking ofthe ice business ys:-A
| The sawdust for packing is pre-
durable Ia sriumber country for y
nominal s1m. The land on which
the buildings stand is generally
some out-of-the-way spot, little
valued for other purposes ana
cheap. The ice itself costs noth--
ing. 1t is estimated that it takes
100000 tons to supply New York,
though this is a; large estimate,
and the quantity used this season
did not exceed half that amount.
Of this Rockland Lake furnishes
10000 tons: The houses at
Hudson and Athens are of abun-
dant capacity to. make up the
balance. The ice is gathered by
first scraping off the snow with a
wooden scraper drawn by a hOrse
A marker is then passed over The
surface, This is followed by the
'plow," or frame like harrow
with teeth, which cut grooves
three inches deep. After the first
row of blocks is sawn out by hand.
1t iS an easy matter to split off
the other blocks with spades,
TIE blocks are then hoated to an
inclined plane aud hauled up into
the house by steam.power. The
houses are made to hold from 20,-
000to 10000 tons. A gang of
men will cut and store in one
house, by the above process, 600.
tons per hour, the cost not ex,-
ceeding fifty cts. per ton, allow
ing one-half of the ice to waste.
Whatever is the interest on the
value of a rough frame building
about l50x200 feet, added to S1C,-
600 for filling, is the cost Of q
crop of twenty thousand tons Of,
ice when it is delivered from the
building in Summer. The cost
of handling ought not be more
than two dollars per ton, and if
the whole expenses were three
dollars per ton, then the man who
puts 10000 tons of ice in bis iee-
house in the Winter, and takes
out one-Lalf as much in Summer,
and sells it at FIVE dollars PER ton,
makes forty thousand dollars in a
single season on his cropi Allow
ing him to deduct double the usl-
al rates for gathering this season.
On account of thin, ice and other
disadvantages, give him five dol
ars per ton for storing bis ice and
getting it to market, then every
nan who stored and sold ten
thousand tons of ice this year
made, at the expense of pent-up
suffering women and children, the
lice little cum of one hundred and,
ifty thousand dollars, which is de-
;idedly q ''big thing OIL Ice"

Gen. Lee that my old corps is re-

and delivered the message. He
then said, "There is nothing left
but to 60 to Gen, Grant, and |
would rather die a thousand

consultation that ensued, one of
US remarked. "What will history
say Of our surrendering if there is
any possibility of escape? Pos
terity will not understand it,
Yes, yes," he rejoined, "they
will not understand our situation;
but that is not the question. The
question is whether it is right, and

The New York Democrat says
the defeat of the Democracy in
New Jersey does not by any means
indicate any increase Of the Radi-
Gals. The loss of the State is due
solely and entirely TO the bad man
agement of the Democracy. There
were too many candidates. In al
most every Legislative District,
and in some of the Congressional
Districts, the Democrats had two
candidates running against each
other, and against the Radical
candidates. This thing often leads
to ruin.

Quoting an Old Acquain-

ed the Philadelphia market the
Iother afternoon, was citizen OF
West Jersey. He bought stock
of eggs and butter. In a big coop
in the rearmoSt part Of the wagon
he had a splendid peacock, whose
tail spreads out, beautiful even to
gorgeousness, like the trail OF a
lady's dress. An Irishman, pass
ing, observed the splendid plum
age of the bird and asked its price,
Thee can have it for fifteen
dollars was the reply of the
owner, whose garb indicated bin
as a member OF the Society of
Friends.
That's a good price," was the
interrogative remark Of the Celt
as he smoothed the ample tail of
the feathered biped.
There are plenty of people
who will give that for him." was
the placid and very true rejoinder
The Celt surveyed tie bird, ad
mired his proportions, but still
endeavored to cheaper him. .
Mister" said he, at last, to the
grave gentleman who held the
bird for sale, ''peop!e say that
these birds have very bad voice"
II have nothing to say about
their voices" " was the quiet reply.
"If thee wants the handsome
fowl, thee can take it; if thee
does not, It's voice does not make
any matter to thee"
But" said the Celt, "don'r
thin birds hoIler like the devil ?"
Friend was the placid reply,
"thee probably in tha. respect has
advantage over me. Thee evil
IDENTIFY has acquaintances which |
have not. If thee thinks that the
scream of this bird is like to that
of thy friend, whom thee has
named, |, in my ignorance, will

Soldier Cured.

/ remember the apparent pain
fll condition of soldier whose
right leg was drawn up at an angle
from the knee-the result of rheu-
matism, he insisted. He was
known to be a skulker, and several
surgeons had examined the limb
and found no appearance Of con.
traction OF the muscles; but all
their efforts to pull it into shape
were useless. Some of them be.
coming convinced by the stub
bornness of the member, insisted
that it could not be fixed; and ad-
vised the mans discharge.
DR. IL. however, had seen much
OF the same difficulty in hospitals,
and put in practice a mode of treat
ment which he had successfully
tried in several cases. The man,
by his direction, was brought over
to the division hospital and con,
fronted by the surgeon and two as
sistants with their sleeves rolled
up.

teeth chattering. "You shan't do

you tied to it." was the stern COM
mand, and the poor wretch obeyed
with groans, not yet quite certain
that this extreme measure was
really to be resorted to.

in those irons!"
They came kissing hot from the
fire, and the miserable creature
on the table shrieked: doctor !

those things be you p

replied the doctor, coolly, taking
one of the ugly instruments in his
hand and approaching the table
You shan't do IT? Let gol my
legs we'll, tell you!" the man
screamed; and tealing away from
.L0se who held him, he jumped
nimbly to the floor and ran out of
, the hospital with two as good legs
as there were in the whole army.
He returned to duty the next day,
and was efectually cured of his
malingering propensities. s.-Lippin-

Your way lies over the hillside,

Where hustle and business meet;
But mine by the noiseless fireside,
Where the fanciful embers glow
With changeful life-like motion
Kiss me before you go. e., D..

With visions none others can see,
Chances more precious than diamonds,
Smiles rull of meaning to me;
The sounds of a welcome footstep,

Kiss me before you go.
For this world is full of mischances,
And one of those chances may fall,
That we two ne'er again in the freight
Make one shadow upon the wall.

genuine affection and respect was proved
when in the bright, sudden spring the time
when all Italy longs to be aboard, the lonely
old Chevalier was taken i'll. Then these fine
young fellows stayed faithfully beside him.
He had been for some time failing, so the
end was not long in coming He did not
dread it or shrink from it. He bowed to the
old, old law of nature: he accepted the inevi-
table, not with the cold stoicism of the philo-
sopher, nor yet merely with the unquestion-
ing submission of q child, but with the dig
nifty of brave Christian gentleman
One morning he was raised by gentle hands
to look out for the last time over the hills and
gardens, palaces and ruins, of that grand old
city. Then, doubtless, his thoughts passed
far away, over that lovely alien cline, to the
dear Fatherland, to the old home-to the still
churchyard in Wetzlar, perhaps, where
Charlotte and Albert sleep side by side.
1t may be that he felt that beloved ia
ther and mother, gifted with better immor-
tality than erring earthly genius can bestow,
near him then-they again young, and he SO
old!
At the last his courageous unsel6shness,
his delicate conslderateness, were most touch
ingly shown. After taking leave OF his dear
boys" one by one, with loving words and
gentle advisings, after giving to them kind
messages for all his good friends in Rome, he
said, ''Now, my dear young gentlemen,
know it is not pleasant thing to see an old
man die; will you do me the kindness to step
into my study and remain there for half an
hour?-then You may return. Adieu! adieu"
They did as he desired: they sat, quite
silent, watching the clock on the mantel as it
licked off those sad minutes, during which no
Sound came from the chamber of the dying
man. When at last they rose and softly re-
entered that room, they saw the slender,
familiar form extended, perfectly straight,
the white hands clasped on the breast, the
kindly eyes closed The Chevalier was dead!
