A Man Kills his Wife and Hides the
Body.

A most horrible murder, commit
ted nine miles south of Lima, Ohio
has just come to light. A man
named Andrew Brentlinger murder
ed his wife near his house, on last
Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock,
by stabbing her eight times in the
breast and four times in the abdO-
men. He threatened the lives OF
his children if they informed on
him, and by direction of him
two of his sons buried the body
near the house, and then, in order to
remove all traces of the grave,
plowed and narrowed over the spot.
Yesterday his children told some OF
their neighbors of the affair, and an
examination was Immediately made
which revealed the crime in all its
horrible nature. Brentlinger has
since confessed and is now confined
in the Lima Jail. His trial will
probably take place at the present
term of court. The age of the
murderer is so, that of his victim
but 25. This was his second wife.
He claims to have murdered her on
account of her being too intimate
with q neighbor ...

The Two Pokers. "A Fable.

Twas sitting reading one day by
my freside. As it was getting dark
l shut my book and looked at the
fire. The black poker and the
bright poker were lying side by side
in the fender, and by the fire light
could see the bright poker reflect
ing angry flashes of indignation Oh
his humble brother.
"What are you doing here by the
side of me, you smoky, black, in.
delicate poker2 Your proper place
is down in the ashes there, with you
leg under the fire."
I'Last time they poked the fire
they put me here, SIR" said the little
black poker. .....
you've no right to be put here
on the andirons. The idea of youl
coming so near a bright-polished
poker like mer'
"Sir, if 1 am black, it shows 1 am
not idle and useless"
"But you smell so disagreeably OF
fire and smoke, 1 can't bear you near
me-"
The poor little poker mustered up
courage to say: "Sir, if l smell OF
fire and smoke, it is because, being
a pokerI do poker's work; but
you sir,are clean and bright because
you lie here all day long doing moth
ing. You, sir, are not a poker, but a
dummy" '"-
Bravo! little poker, said I, and as
the fire wanted stirring, l took him
up and did it, and stood him up
right in one corner of the fireplace,
with his head far above the fine
dummy. ..r

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.
by WIN. CULLEN BRYANT.

The melancholy days are come, the sadest OF
the year,
OF wailing winds, and naked woods, and
meadows brown and sere.
Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the autumn
leaves lie dead; = - {
They rustic to the eddying gust, and to the
rabbit 5 tread.
The robin and the wren are flown, and from the
shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow through
all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers
that lately sprang and stood
In brighter light, and softer airs, beauteous
sisterhood?
Alas. they all are in their graves; the gentle
race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds, with the fair and
good of our. iAl
The rain is falling where they lie; but the cold
November rain .tt IH.-
Calls not from out the gloomy earth the lovely
ones again.
The wind flower and the violet, they perished
long ago,
And the brier-rose and the orchis died amid
the summer glow;
But on the hill the golden rod, and the aster in
the wood, cee
And the yellow sun-fower by the brook, in au-
tumn beauty stood
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven,
as falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone,
rom upland, glade, and glen. - - -
And now, when comes the calm mild day, as
still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from out their
winter home;
When the sound Of dropping nuts is heard,
though all the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of
the rill.
The South Wind searches for the flowers whose
fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood and by the
stream no more.
And then think of one who in her youthful
beauty died.
The fair meek blossom that grew up and faded
by my side.
In the cold moist earth we laid her, when the
forests cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely should have
life so BRIEF
Yet not unmeet it was that one like that young
friend of our,
So gentle and so beautiful, should perish with
the flowers.

To Detect the Age Of Handwriting.

Attempts have been made to in
vent method for approximately de-
termining the age of any writing.
Iron inks suffer a change in process
of time, and become yellow, the or
ganic constituents disappear and the
iron becomes more prominent. BY
moistening the writing with weak
hydrochloric acid { acid, II water)
if the ink is old a faint copy can be
obtained, and the newer the writing
the palmer will be the copy. In ex-
periments made by Carre, handwri-
ting thirty years old gave scarcely
any impression-an authentic docu-
ment from the year 1877 yielding
mere traces. Soaking the paper in
weak hydrochloric acid gives oppo-
site results, as handwriting a few
months or few years old is at once
removed by this acid, while old ink
has suffered such chemical change
that the acid no longer acts upon it.
After the experiment it is well to
neutralize the acid by suspending
the paper over capsule containing
sal ammoniac. The test appears to
be only applicable to writing several
years old, and is confined to iron
inks.

Interruptions in Public Worship.

A most singular series of inter
ruptions in public worship occurred
in a church in neighboring State
few Sabbaths since. First the pas
tor, having left something in his
study, gave out a hymn which he
thought long enough, and went after
it. But the hymn was not long
enough, and the congregation waited
and the organ footed some little time.
The sermon proceeded some ten
minutes, when, next, a lady in the
front seats fell screaming in fit of
epilepsy, and stopped everything.
Quiet being restored, the sermon
went on, disturbed at intervals by
the movement of one or two who
were in attendance upon the sufferer,
when suddenly there was stir and
a shuffiing noise from the rear seats,
and lady who had tainted was
borne hastily out into the porch.
Again the preacher proceeded, and
in a few minutes more another rus
tie was caused by the sudden faint
ness of a third, who did not quite
swoon away, and was laid gently
down in a back pew.-Congregatioa-
aliSt,

Our Hands.

The human hand is so beautifully
formed, it has so fine q sensibility,
that sensibility governs its motions
50 correctly, every effort of the will
is answered so instantly, as if the
hand itself were the seat of the will
it's actions are so free, so powerful
and yet so delicate, that it seems, to
possess a quality instinct in itself,
and we use it as we draw our breath,
unconsciously, and have lost all rec
objection of the feeble and ill-direct-
ed efforts of it's first exercise, by
which it has been perfected. In the
hands are twenty-nine bones, in the
mechanism of which result strength,
mobility, and elasticity. On the
length, strength, free lateral motion,
and perfect mobility of the thumb,
depends the whole power of the hand
its strength being equal to that OF
all the fingers. Without the feshy
ball of the thumb, the power of the
muscles of the thumb is the dis
tinguishing character of the human
hand.

The Printer.

The printer is the Adjutant Of
Thought; and this explains the mys-
teries of the wonderful word that
can kindle home as no song can
that can warm a heart as no hope
that word, "we,'' with hand in
hand warmth in it, for the Author
and the Printer are Engineers to.
gether. Engineers indeed! When
the little Corsican bombarded Cadiz
at the distance of five miles, it was
deemed the very triumph of engin.
eering. But what is that paltry
range to this, whereby they lombard
the ages yet to be.
There he stands at the case and
marshals into line the forces armed
for truth, clothed in immortality and
English. And what can be more
noble than the equipment of thought
in sterling SaXon-SaXon with the
ring of spear or shield therein, and
that commissioning it when we are
dead to move gradually on to "tht
fast syllable of recorded time" Thai
it is to win a victory from death, fol
this has no denying in it.
The printer is called a laborer
and the office he performs is toll
Oh, it is not work, but a sublime
right he is performing when he thu.
''slights" the engine that is to fling :
worded truth in grander curve
than missiles ever before described
filings it into the bosom of an ag,
unborn. He throws off his coat
indeed; but we wonder the rather
that he does not put his shoes from
his feet, for the place whereon h'
stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered some
where long ago; it wandered to tn,
twilight feebler than q star; it dice
upon the ear; but the printer take
it up where it was lying there in tn,
silence like a wounded bird, and h,
sends it forth from the Ark, tina

the future with the olive branch o

How knowledge is Perpetuated.

The world is advanced to a high
point of attainment in science and
art. The progress of invention and
improvement has been, especially of
late years, prodigiously rapid; and
now whether we regard the science
of nature or Of art, of mind or of
morals, of contemplation or of prac-
tice, it must be confessed that we
live in wonderfully improved pc
riod. @ #7F af Tir}atf L-
Where is all this knowledge?
where does it dwell? 1t dwells in
the minds of the present generation
of men. 1t is, indeed, recorded in
books, or embodied in the various
works and structures of man. But
these are only the manifestations of
knowledge. The books are nothing
until they are read and understood;
and then they are only sort of
shorthand, an outline, which the
mind fills up. The thing itself, the
science, the art, the skill, are in the
minds of living men; of that gene
ration which is now upon the stage.
That generation will die and pass
away. In thirty years all now living
will be gone, or retired from the
scene, and a new generation will
have succeeded. This mighty pro-
cess is constantly going on silently,
efectually, inevitably; and all the
knowledge, art, and refinement now
in existence, must be either acquir-
ed by those who are coming on the
stage, or it perishes with those who
are going off, and is lost forever.(?)
There is no way by which knowl-
edge can be handed down but by be-
ing learned over again; and of all
the science, art, and skill in the
world, only so much will survive,
when those who possess it are gone,
as shall be acquired by the succeed
ing generation. All the rest must
perish.
There have been periods in the
history of the world when tyranny
at home, or invasion from abroad,
has so blighted or blasted the con-
dition of society, that knowledge
has perished with one generation
faster than it could be learned by
another; and whole nations have
sunk from condition of improve
nent to one of ignorance and bar
barity; sometimes in a very few
years.-Edrdrd EUerett.

"How, sir," cried the astonished
Professor, "can a man see without
eyes; pray, sir, how do you make
that out?" "He can see with one,
sir" replied the ready-witted youth
and the whole class shouted with
delight at the triumph over meta

Nettie's Opinion Of Tobacco Smoke.

So you like the smell of good
cigar, do you? Well, 1 have heard
young ladies say so before, but al
ways thought if I was in their place
1 would not tell of it. Whatever
you may say, nobody will think
you like the nasty, sinking thing
for its own sake. Why, it almost
strangles me. And after my papa
has been smoking, would some
times almost rather he would not
kiss me. 1 don't believe he would
want to kiss me, if he should smell
tobacco smoke in my breath. I am
sure he would not call me his rose
bud again very soon. I am very
certain men don't like tobacco
breaths in other people. I wonder
if that is reason they don't kiss
each other.
How do you know they don't like
tobacco smoke? Well, l can read
some and don't I see ''no smoking"
up around in ever so many places?
And when I ask my papa what they
did it for, he said because it was
not nice to have tobacco smoke
from other peoples mouths puffed
into our faces. My papa said that
himself. And then on the ferry
boat, l see the men flocking into the
ladies' cabin, because their own is
full of tobacco smoke. But I don't
see any ladies go into the mems cab
in to get the smell of the smoke.
And they don't scent their hand
kerchiefs with it nor put it into
their bouquets. 1 should think if
they like itso we'll, they would have
essence of smoke among their CO.
logne bottles.
Bah! nobody will make me believe
that a clean, sweet young lady cares
any thing about the smell of a ci-
gar, unless their is man behind it.
And the men don't believe it, either.
They may not say so, but they keep
a thinking, and they think you say
it to please them, the egotistical
fellows. Perhaps afterward they'll
say as my brother Bill said, the
next day after you professed to like
his cigar smoke. He said it made
him think Of the young lady that
took few whiffs now and then, when
she was lonely, because it made it
smell as though there was a man
around Young Peoples Helper.
