HE IS EVERYWHERE.
BY ALICE CARY.

This authoress Of many beautiful poems died at hsl
home in New York on Sunday, February 18th inst.
aged 40 years She the author Of several volumes
Of poems and other works, including three works o.
fiction entitled "Hargar Story Of To-Day" "Mar

Western Life entitled "Clovernook,n have obtaine.
extensive popularity both in America ard Europe
Her poems the admired of American lady writer's
The following from her pen shows her deep reverence,
and love Of nature:
The solemn wood had spread
Shadows around her head
Curtains they are, / said,

Softly among the limbs,
Turning the leaves Of hymns,

Beside the green gate OF the summer hills
And pulling at her dr0ss,
cried, "sweet Hermitress,
Hast thou behed Him who the dew distillsl'
No voice replied, but, while listening bent,
Her gracious beauty made my hear. content
Tho moon In spendor shone,-
"she walketh Heaven alone.
Aud seeth all things to myself unused;
Hast thou beheld Him, then,
Who hides Himself from men,
In that great power through Nature interfusedf
No speech made answer, and no sign appeared,
But 10 the silonco was soothed aud eheercd.
Waking one time, strange awe
Thrilling my soul, saw
kingly splendor round about the night;
Such cunning work the hand

Hast thou come cut OF Heaven l asked and loi
The snow was all the answer Of the snow
Then my heart said, 'Giye DER;
Question no more, more
The wind, the snow storm, the wild hermit flower,
The Illuminated air,
The pleasure after prayer,
Proclaim the unorig nated Power
The mystery that hides Him here and there,
Bears the true witness lie is everywhere"

Spiritualistic.

There has been considerable stir
created in the town of Argyle, La
Fayette county, of late, by the adj
vent there of woman lecturer on
spiritualism. Three or four resi-
dents Of the place have become dis
ciples Of the doctrine, and were de-
clared mediums. Among these were
two daughters of an old man, whom
we will call Y. The father, believ-
ing firmly that his daughters were
in communion with the spirits, made
a wager Oslo with q skeptical neigh
Dor, whom we will call z. that they
1.-THE girls could, at the next circle,
name all the articles that q had in
his pockets. The stakes being plac-
ed in responsible hands. and the cir
cumstance having got we'll advertis-
ed, the house was well filled at the
next meeting of tho faithful. Mr..
z. prepared for the trial by empty
inc his pockets Of everything they
contained, before he left home. The
time came the girls made several
guesses, and then declared he had
nothing in his pockets H. thought of
course that his SO had "gone where
the woodbine twineth," but on being
searched, there was found in his
coat pocket large potato, which
his wife, unbeknown to him, had
dropped in there as he was leaving
the house, thus saving his money,
and vanquishing the spirits, much to
the damage of the cause, especially
in the opinion of old T., whose oaths
were both loud and deep. He de-
clares spiritualism o deceit and q
humbug, and at once set about clear
ing his house of it.
The above can be relied upon as
facts. We have the particulars
from the very best authority, with
the names of the parties concerned,
which are suppressed for prudential
reasons.-Mineral Point Tribune.

Fatalism Illustrated.

A hard-shell Baptist minister, liv-
ing somewhere on the frontier of
Missouri, was in the habit Of saying
to his family and to his church =
Friends, you need not take any un.
usual care about your lives the mo-
ment Of your death was writ before
the foundation Of the world, and you
can not alter it.
His wife observed when he left on
Saturday TO meet one of his frontier
missionary engagements, that he
dressed the flint of his rife with un-
usual care, put in dry powder, fresh
tow, and took every pains to make
sure that the gun would go oil in
case he came upon an Indian.
1t struck her one day as she saw
him in the saddle, with his rifle on
his shoulder, that his conduct con-
tradicted his teachings, and she said
to him:
"My dear, why do you take this
rifle with you? Fit is writ before
the foundation of the world that you
were to be killed during this trip by
an ILdian, that rifle won't prevent
it and if you are not to be killed, of
course the rifle is unnecessary so
why take it with you at all ?"
Eyes" he replied, "to be sure. my
dear, of course you are all very right,
and that is very proper view but,
see here, my Observation-Disclosures
then-you see, my dear-to be sure
but then-suppose | should meet
an Indian while | am gone, and his
time had come, and l hadn't my rifle
with me, what would he do? Yes,
my dear, we must all contribute our
part toward the fulfllment of the
DEGREES of Providence"

Kit Carson.

From the Overland Monthly for
December we clip the following in
reference to the famous Kit Carson
"ln person, Carson was remarka-
bic, being not more than five feet
four inches high, with long body,
and legs so bowed that I nave never
seen them Iesembled except in lock-
eys, who have been such from boy
mood. Ills head and face once seen
could never be forgotten-long, thin
mar reaching to his shoulders, spare
~ covered a broad high Uranium
forehead round and smooth. above
small, keen, bright gray eyes, set
deep in broad fattish face. rave
you the impression of q man whose
wits were in careful training, and
who objected, both by instinct and
education, to deceive and being de-
ceived l have often been smiled at
as tanciful, for remarking a resem-
blance between Chris North Of Black
wood, and Kit Carson; yet it was
very plain to me, despite the evident
difference, and the knowledge that
North was giant in person and in
tellect, for Carson was as accomplish
ed as North in woodcraft, and rarely
equaled in riding, running, shooting,
or jumping. think Of the concen-
trated power Of that small form,
which used, when young, to Jump
eighteen feet at one running Jump.
1t was not, however, in mental or
physical traits so much as in the SIM
liar bold, honest, lion-like physiogno-
my that!I found the resemblance. At
Garland, Carson kept open house, ex-
ercising the most unbounded hospi-
tality to all visitors and passers by,
who were sufficiently numerous, and
in these were included the Ute Indi-
ans, of whom he had once been agent,
and with whom be had such power
full influence that no trouble ever
took place when an appeal could be
made TO him. In any dispute with
them, when violence seemed inevita-
BILE, all could be allayed by offering
to send for "Kitty," as they termed
him and it was study to see him
sitting, surrounded by them, talking
as kindly and Familiarity as to his
own children rolling cigarritos and
passing the tobacco around, all the
while laughing, joking and talking
Spanish, or Ute tongue, with such
abundant gesticulations and hand
movements, that it seemed to me he
talked more with his hands and
shoulders than with his tongue.

Parisians Badly Sold.

Paris has been very much astonish-
ed to learn that one of its pet heroes,
Sergeant Hoff, was in reality Bava-
rian lieutenant who was playing the
part of a spy. For long time Hotf
was the object of universal admira-
ton. Gen. Trochu conferred the Le-
gion of Honor upon him for having
slain 80 Prussians. Gen. Schmitz
gave him an official bulletin, and he
was interviewed by journalists. Hotf
generally used to go out alone ut
night, and bring back helmets and
muskets in proof of the amount of
business he had performed. On the
I'd Of December Hoff, much to the
grief of his comrades, disappeared,
and the government was greatly
blamed for having allowed such
valuable man to 60 into action like
common mortal. In some quarters
it was considered that Hoff should
have replaced Trochu. When it was
supposed that he had fallen, a sub
scrption was raised for his discon-
ISOLATE widow" which was carried
to that lady with the greatest
respect by four officers (reminding
one of Monsieur Malbrook's funeraD.
To the astonishment of the military
deputation, the first exclamation of
the bereaved one on seeing men in
uniform enter her apartment was,
81 didn't know he was q Prussian
till the other day" Tableaul Paris
can't help laughing at having been
outwitted, shrugs it's shoulders, and
says, ",SommeS nous betes ~ Accord
ing to the francs-tireurs Hoff has
since been caught and executed.

The Author of The Heathen Chinee.

Mr.. II. l.. Reade thus describes
Bret Harte: 81 spent a portion Of
two days with him short time since
in San Francisco. He is little be-
low the medium stature, we'll pro-
portioned, has forehead moro high
than broad, thin brown hair, a. fair
complexion, originally, but his face
is now badly pitted with smallpox
eyes remarkable soft and brilliant.
and an indescribable expression Of
countenance that indicates spirit
in complete sympathy with all that
is beautiful and all that is good. His
voice is peculiarly sweet and musical,
his power of endurance not over
large he is firm in his opinions, but
in the expression of them modest !;
shuns rather than seeks society
never courts but avoids notoriety is
q delightful companion; does far
more work than he ought; under
stands what he can do, and never at
tempts what he cannot and, in gen
eral appearance, more nearly resem
bles that poet and scholar and gen.
tleman Donald G.. Mitchell, than any
person with whom | am acquainted
on this side Of the continent"

CHIEF CLERK YoUNG.-In o letter
to the Wisconsin, its correspondent,
Il. A. Moore, draws the following
tlattering yet truthful picture Of the
unsurpassed Chief Clerk of the AS
sembly:
"Right back of my desk sits +. w.
Young, for the last half dozen years
Chief Clerk of the Assembly. A man
of good person and good head-piece
quick, clever, ready, obliging, new
err at fault or misled. No man
here, not even the Speaker, knows
how to straighten out legislation like
him. Every morning finds him at
his post. There is no fuss or confu-
sion with him. The House may be
impatient, the boys on jump, bills
piling in and motions in q .jangle not
so with Young. Everything, as by
magic, dissolves into order and sys-
TEN. He calls the roll. Members
are excited and anxious for the result.
Young never varies. By no look or
sign does be express any preference
for either side of the question. His
work done, it is done right, as all
know. He never log-rolls, never
bothers himself with the affairs OF
others. Business dispatched for the
day, he sits back in his chair, cigar
in mouth, evidently at ease with his
conscience, and the rest of mankind.
