vain. He could be received nowhere with.
out a name; and when he insisted upon
his own he was secuted rs nm irlpostor.
One day he entered into the college
where once he had been accustomed 10
teach and receive honor. TO avoid re,
preach he forebore to mention his name
or speak of himself A learned discussion
was going on, and he listened with his old
eagerness As each man argued he would
quote Coniah, his rules, his examples, his
opinions, rs men speak of one for a long
time dead, There sat he living Cohiah.
and dared not utter word, 1t was intol,
erahle; he wept bitterly, and his checks
flowed with scalding tears.
When he lest the college, his anguish
was more than he could bear, The chang

Of every tie between him and them, over

Two Personals Explained.

A YEAR ago there appeared in the per.
sonal" columns ~ many newspapers, in
this country and Canada, an advertisement
which excited no little comment, and it's
meaning has, until this time, remained lm.
explained Unlike most advertisements Of
It's class, it was continued month after
month, and read as follows;
n0D~-l am well, but we are in attiC.
- ton, and long for y0n, that we may comfort
one another. There II o letter for "DUd' al the
Post Office, New York. MA.
Soon after another appeared in It's place,
which was also continued for IA long time,
as follows:
METilLlCK--July IL, 1861 have
4'' hccn seriously i'll; getting better, but very
weak; come II yon possibly can, immediately FOR
you are more needed than you can think. MA,
1t now appears that these advertisements
were inserted to attract the attention of the
Missing Earl of Aberdeen The key
was in the address, "Dod, which was the
familiar pet name by which the absent
earl, was addressed in the family circle,
II his eye had ever rested upon ii, 1t would
have struck him at once as a voice from
home. That he gave it no attention what
ever Is conclusive proof that he is one of
the few who never saw II. Methlick "
was the title OF one Of the haronetcies
held 10y tic earl, ana the one most familiar
TO him The advertisement, however,
failed TO draw out any response, save the
jesting comments Of the idle readers who
saw in it only communication between
criminals who Stunned more direct meth
ods Of correspondence. A half million
of dollars is said 10 have been spent to find
the wandering earl, but the only clue TO
his fate that can be discovered is that
which traces him to the bowsprit OF the
schooner Hehrn, from which be was
washed and drowned. The mystery OF
"Dod' and Mchlick is thus unray

POETRY.
MY HEROINE,

HER name shines not In hammered field
Where right and wrong so boldly war:
Nor rings her voice In any cause
winch men and women battle for
Yer IN her presence, subtle, sweet,
You lSng to kueel and kiss her feet
NO Nordfous romance wreathes her life.
nor has she led martyr train;
nor beautiful nor rich Is She
But poor and--some would call her lain
Yet in her two dear eyes you see
a beauty shining constantly, .
No silken robe enfolds her form:
Nor dainty leisure hath her hands;
Her Jewels are a simple ring;
rbbor, binds her hairs soft bands;
Yet in her garments simple grace
Her souls regality you trace.
No Gift has she to charm and thrill
thankess world with warhled songs;
And art that wakes the ivory keys
To other hand than hers belongs;
Yet in her words of tender cheer
richer music meets the car.
She walks in humble ways of life
lhat iead ofttimes through gloom and shade !;
And cares and crosses not few.
Are on her patient shoulders laid
Yet smiles and drinks each bitter cup,
And keeps her brave eyes lifted up.
hnd homely ways she wreathes with grace;
Harsh duty turns 10 loving Eest;
And cheery hope and steadfast will
Are At her side in work and rest;
Yet never dreams she that you spy
The angel looking from her eye
Hearth and Homs.

Evidences OF the Senses.

their senses, Just as If they supposed
that should close all discussion Now,

Yet it Is we'll to bear in mind that our

A Singular Indian Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there
is a singular tradition regarding the
white mans origin and superiority.
They say that when the Great Spirit
made the earth he also made three
men. All of the men had fair conf
plexions and that after making them
he led them to the margin of o small
lake, and bade them leap in and wash.
One obeyed, and came out purer and
fairer than before the second hesita-
ted a moment, during which the water,
agitated by the first, had become mud
died. and when he bathed he came out
copper.colored the third did not leap
tiIl the water had become black with
mud and he came out black with its
own color. The great spirit laid be-
fore them three packages, and out Of
pity for his misfortune in color gave
the black man the first choice. lie
took hold of each package, and hav-
ing felt the weight, chose the heaviest,
The copper.colored man chose the next
heaviest, leaving the white man the
Iightest. When the packages were op-
ened, the first was found to contain
spades, hoes, and implements Of labor /;
the second enwrappad hunting, fishing,
and warlike apparatuses the third
gave the white man pens. ink, and
paper, the engines Of the mind-the
means of mutual mental improve
ment, the social link of humanity, the
foundation of the white mans superb
ority.
