TO GERALD MASSEY.
BY GRANT P. ROBINSON.

"'Tis coming up the steep of Time,
And this old world is growing brighter!
We may not teel its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart thrOb light
err
Brave singer OF the coming inc,
Each song OF thine is deeply ireighted
With words that burn, and thoughts sublime,
To freedom ever c0nSecrated.
Oh, strew them broadcast Ger the land
The soil is ready for the seeding,
That hungry souls with outsLretched hands
May stand no longer vainly pleading.
A better time is coming soon,-
A brighter and more genial morning,
A higher life-that priceless BOOM
Is on the tolling masses dawning.
To every lofty strain of thine
Humanity shall pause and listen,
And feel a thrill OF joy divine,
And hearts will throb aud eyes will gnstcn
What though the hopes for which you toiled
Were slow to reach their full truition,
What though thy page be labor-solled--
It breathes the toiler's deep petition.
And tears will dim the poor mans eye,
While glancing Ger thy lines Of beauty
That nerve him on, to live and die
In works of love and deeds of duty.
Then battle on in freedoms cause,
Success will crown thy high cndeavor,
And honest men and righteous laws
Shall guide and rule the earth forever
And still ring out thy stirring strain
Thy lofty soul can sing no other
Till Justice rends each bondman's chain
Aud plenty greets each toiling brother.

THE OLD STORY
FANNY DOW ING.

1t CHANGED that once Persian maid
Into sacred forest etrayed,
And rowing on in restless mood,
Half frightened ut The solitude,
Within the greenwood's depths profound,
AWeslruck, a marble IDOL sound
SO well the chiselled stone Was wrought,
So truly Natures features caught
That, as the girl in wonder gazed,
In glorious majesty it blazed
And grandly glistened on the sod
No image, but an actual god.
Bold by degrees, she falteringly stepped,
Close and more closely still up crept,
And as one sees IN Eastern land,
An Instant into bloom expand
The buds by tr0pic sunshine nnrst,
So IN her heart love full blown burst.
She tears the clinging vines away
That hide her treasure from the day;
OF lotus flow ers and campac leaves,
With jasmine buds rich garIands weaves,
And makes their dewy spIeudOrs climb
About the brow she calls sublime.
Her snowy arms around it prest,
With glowing cheeks and heaving breast,
To warm the marble into life
And wake it up to PASSIONS strife
By every artleSs art she strove,
Till it should give her love for love.
But strove in vain! No answering tone
Sends back an echo to her own,
Until at last, with footsteps slow
And tear blind eyes and voice of woe,
The young life chilled with bitter pain,
She hastens to her home again.
TITS thus with women We enshrine
4 human love we deem divine,
To it in admiration cling,
Round it our hearts best treasures fling.
Exalt our idol on its throne,
And find it but senseless stone.
-GalGry.

BEssEMER STEEL-Expeuments with
Bessemer steel show 1t to be one Of HE
most plastic and manageable Of metals
more So even than copper. An exchange
says 1t can be- bent, Hanged or twisted,
either hot or cold, without annealing, and
over a considerable range Of temperature,
which IS not tha case with ordinary steel
or copper. A plate OF eighteen inches
diameter was forced through series of
dies until it formed tube thirteen feet
long, and one and ree-fourth inches in
diameter, without any crack or flaw. A
ring OF metal can at one heat be hammer
ed into die to form d locomotive engine
chimney.top. In drilling circular hole
into Bessemer steel plate continuous
shavings are formed, whereas in copper
plate or other metal the shaving breaks
INTO pieces one-tenrh OF an inch long.
Thin sheets CT Bessemer soft steel can also
be bent backward and forward hundreds
Of times without fracture, and are almost
at malleable as paper.

to be over three and a quarter millions,
showing an increase of nearly half mil

PASSPORTS IN FRANCE Mr. WashDurne
United States Minister at Paris, has been
notified by M. Jules Favre, Minister of
Foreign Affairs for the French Govern
ment of Versailles, that the revival of the
passport system has been rendered neces-
sary by circumstances, and that therefore
every traveller, of whatever nationality he
may be, on his entrance into French ter
ritory, must exhibit passport, regular
ly authenticated by a French agent on the
payment of the prescribed fees. M. Favre
considerably adds, in view Of the vast
number of poverty-stricken people who
make tours of France, that the French
agents afor esaid have been instructed to
reduce the fees somewhat in the case Of
travellers who shall prove that they are in
a state of poverty,

GREEN VEILs.-An exchange says in
reference to green wells: eve frequently
see little children in their carriages upon
the street, with green wells tied over their
heads and faces. A child will always
take the folds of the veil in its mouth
when it can, and will often extract the
green coloring matter with its lips.
Children and even grown people have
sore mouths and faces from this cause,
which are frequently difficult to heal.
The coloring matter in the green veil
contains arsenic, which, when placed in
contact with delicate surface like the
lips, or a pimple upon the face, will
cause an ulcer that is troublesome tc
heal.

Some time ago the Emperor of Russia
issued an ukase directing the Jews of
Poland to shorten their coat tails and
shave their boards, but the police find
some difficulty in enforcing the edit.
They recently entered village of patrl-
archs and commenced with venerable
graybeard of eighty, when all his coun-
trymen rushed to his assistance. The
minions of the law were too strong for
them, however, and before they departed
had done free barbering for the whole
township.

THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT.


A HINDOO FABLE, BY JOHN G.. SAKE.
It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
Though all of them were btInd),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me-but the Elephant
Is very like q wall !"
The Second. feeling OF the tusk,
Cried, 'Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me tits mighty clear
This wonder Of an Elephant
Is very like "a spear J"
The THIRD approached The animal,
Ant happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hand,
Thus boldly up he spake:
. I see," quota he, '1he Elephant
Is very like snake !"
The Fourth reached out his eager hand
And felt about his knee:
What most this wondrOus beast is like
Is mighty plain" quoth he.
"3Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like tree !"
The Fifth. who CHANGED to touch the ear
Said E'E'en the blindest man
Can see what this resembles most:
Deny til tact who can, a-,
This marvel OF an Elephant
Is very like FAM"
The Saith no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, Selling on the swinging tall,
That fell within his scope,
IS / see," quoth he, ''the Elephant
Is very like rope !"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
MORAL.
So oft in theologic war,
The disputants, l Ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance,
OF what each other mean,
And pirate about q" elephant

CURING CANCER.-The Newcastle C0u-
rier prints the following:
Some remarkable cures effected Nv the
use Of a decoctionsof common red clover
drank as tea and used as Ii wash have
lately called the public attention to the
medical qualities Of this plant. This,
however, cannot be said to be a new rem
edy; IT has been employed for some years
past, and there are apparently well attest
ed cases of its efficacy even after the dis
ease had become distressingly painful, and
all hopes were given up The following
report of the case has been written by a
correspondent:
Mr. Joel Rood, son-in. law of Mr.. Tru-
man Woodtord, had cousin residing IN
Great Darlington, Mass, the wife of a
hotel keeper, who had cancer in the
breast, which became so serious that the
Whol3 gland was removed by q surgeon,
and the wound healed About year af-
ter the cancerous humor broke out again,
and was beginning 10 be serious. Mr..
Rood, seeing the good effects Of the clover
tea and wash on his fathers face, Mr.
Truman Woodford wrote to his cousin
informing her OF the fact, and ':rging her
to try the remedy She adopted il at
once, and in few months was entirely
healed, and ut the time OF receiving this
information, which was year or more
afterwards, no re appearAnccot the tum r
had occurred.
The following appears in the American
pispenSary, by Dr. John Cling, of Cincin-
natl:
=" The extract ofred clover, spread on
linen or soft thin leather, is said to be an
excellent remedy for cancerous ulcers.
1t is highly recommended in iIlcondi-
toned ulcers of every kind, and deep,
ragged edged and otherwise badly condi,
toned burns. 1t possesses d peculiar
soothing property and proves an offica'
ciouS detergent, and promotes healthtul
granulation."
