MY LITTLE WIFE.

The following love story is BY new
poet, celebrated in the July number of
Blackwood-David Wingate, collier from
his ninth year:
Ny little wife often round the church bill,
Sweet little, dear little, neat-footed Jane,
Walked slowly, and lonely, and thoughtful,
until
The afternoon bell chimed its call DER the
plain;
And nothing seemed sweeter
To me than to meet her,
And tell her what weather twas likely to
be,
NY heart the while glowing,
The selfish wish growing,
Tha: all ner affections were centcred in
me.
by life once C,is strange, but It's true),
Sweet little, dear little, love-troubled
= Jane,
So deeply absorbed in her day-dreaming
'<" grew,
The bell cbimcd and ceased, though she
heard not its strain;
And I, walking near her
(May love ever cheer her
Who thinks all such wandering Of sin vod
and f"eel
Strove .,ard 10 persuaded her
Tia. Tle who made her
Had destined her hcavt-love for no one but
- me.
j, little wife-well, perhaps this was wrong
Sweet little, dear little, warm-hearted
Jane,
Sat on the hillside till her shadow grew
long,
Nor tired Of the preacher that thus could
deta;n;
ssIargned so neatly,
:, - And proved so completely,
That ,ronc but poor Andrew her husband
could be,
She smiled when blessed her,
:. And b!uShed when / kissed her,
And owned that she loved and would wed
none but me.

How Marbles are Made.

The chief place of the manufacture Of
marbles those little round pieces ofstone
which contribute so largely to the enjoy
ment of Young America, is at Ober-
stein, on the Maize, in Germany, where
there are large agate mills and quarries,
the refuse of which IS carefully turned
to good account by being made into the
little round balls employed by experts
to knuckle with, which are mostly sent
to the American market. The substance
used in Saxony is "A hard, calcareous
stone, which is broken into blocks, near
ly square, by blows with a hammer.
These are thrown by the one hundred
or two hundred into small sort of mill,
which is formed of fat, stationary slab
of stone, with number of concentric
burrows upon its face. A block Of oak,
or other hard wood, Of the same diamet-
rio size, is placed over the small stones
and partly resting upon them. This
block or log is kept revolving while
water flows upon the stone slab. In
about fifteen minutes the stones are
turned to spheres, and then, being fit
for sale, are henceforth called marbles.
One establishment, containing only three
of these rude mills, will turn out full
sixty thousand marbles each week.
Agates are made into marbles at Ober-
stein, by first chipping the pieces nearly
round with hammer, handled by a
skillful workman, and then wearing
down the edges upon the surface of a
large grindstone.
