Little Jerry, the Miller.

Beneath the hill you may see the mill
OF wasting wood and crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and elattering still,
But Jerry. the miller. Is dead AID SoIs.
Year after year, early and late,
Alike in summer and winter weather,
He pecked the stones sud cauiAed the gate;
And mill and miller ersw old together.
Little Jerry twas all the same
They loved him well who called him so;
And whether he ever another name,
Nobody ever seems TO know.
Twas" Little Jerry, como and grind my ryc,"
And Little Jerry, come and grind my wheat
From matron bold anG maiden sweet.
Twas" Little Jerry on every ,eaSuc,
And thus the simple truth was told;
For Jerry was little whom he was young,
And he was little whec be was old.
But what in size he char ced to lack,
Jerry made up in being strong;
As thick as I the n,liers 1aSi,e Is long.
Away. busy and alwp. L-y.
Always doing his very-Nrt.
A notable wag was litti9 ~,
Who uttered well his 'aIingjest.
when will you grind corn, say'
Nay, quoth jerry, you needn't scold,
Just leave your grist for half day.
And never fear but you IL be tolled"
How Jerry lived is known to fame,
But how he died there's none may know;
One autumn day the rumof came
The brook and Jerry are very low. 4"
And then twas whispered mournfully,
The leech had come, aEs he was dead,
And all the neighbors hocked to see;
Poor Little Jerry " was all they said.
They laid him in his earthly bell-
His mller's coat his only shroud-
dust to dust :" the parson said,
And all the people wept aloud.
For he had Stunned the deadly sin.
And not n grain of over-toll
Had ever dropped into his bin.
To weigh upon his parting soul,
Beneath the hill there stands the mill
Of wasting wood and crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller. Is dead and gone.

SDOtltnS for n Fight.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Thursday
The riotings in New York are not we
think, chargeable on either party in.
volved, alone. 1t is rather to be re.
ferred to the same characteristics as
gave effect to the fightings at Donny-
brook Fair-the love of certain charac-
tiers for fighting. 1t is evident that the
Catholic authorities of New York are
not chargeable, as Archbishop McClos-
KEY distinctly commanded his people
and required his priests throughout
New York to give utterance to his
commands, not to rnolest the Orange
procession, Had he said nothing, there
might have been some color for accusa-
ton, but he was thoroughly outspoken
in his denunciation of those who should
interfere with the parade Of Yesterday.
But from time immemorial, ithas been
known that a parade of Orangemen has
been the occasion of a fight. Yet in
the face Of this, the parades have been
kept up. 1t is impossible to resist the
conclusion that neither party particu-
larly dreaded the fight. While certain
~ the right to march in procession
should not be violently broken up in
this country, yet prudence required that
the affair should be modified or aban-
doned.

Atmospheric Temperature.

In warm weather an increase OF
humidity in the atmosphere is equiva-
lent to an increase Of heat. In cold
weather humidity produces the sensible
effects of a diminution Of heat. A
movement of the atmosphere is always
cooling to animal life, though the tenn
perature Of the atmosphere be nearly as
warm as the blood, which is ninety,
eight degrees. This effect is
produced largely by promoting
the evaporation of the skin. AT
all temperatures winds also exert an
actual cooling influence by the produc-
ton Of evaporation, during which large
quantities Of heat pass into the latent
state. A movement Of the atmosphere
has no cooling effect upon other than
animal life, as may be illustrated by
tanning a thermometer, which will not
be affected by it. The temperature Of
the atmosphere is one degree less for
every three hundred and thlriy-three
feet of ascent above the level of the
ocean.

THE men who are striving to array
the opponents OF State aid to internal
improvements in opposition to the call
ing of Convention involve themselves
in a strange contradiction. If, as they
assert, the meeting Of the Convention
will insure the success of the scheme
because the people of the State will
inevitably ratify such Constitution as
the internal improvement men desire,
then the Convention will certainly be
held despite all the opposition that can
be brought against it. The Radicals
assume that majorityef the people OF
the State are really anxious to make
such an amendment to the Constitution
as will authorize the extension OF State
credit to works Of internal improve
ment, and then call upon the voters to
prevent the meeting Of a Convention
for fear it may do this thing! They
ask the majority to defeat what they
assume that the majority really wants
For ourselves, we do not favor the
scheme proposed, nor do we believe

State can be induced to give it their

ever, concerning which all are subStan
tally agreed, and we do not propose tc
give up those because few men in the

the belief that the participants and vic

with iDfammatory appeals. There are
a certain classof demsgogues who selze
upon every possible opportunity to make
political capital. KusKluxism is on the

Paying Dearly for His Ignorance.

The Commissioner Of Patents on
Tuesday received from the West an
assignment of a patent suit for re.
record, on which there were internal
revenue stamps to the amount of $l69,
lust $685. in excess of the amount
required by law. The owner. doubtless
supposed the assignment required a
stamp of five cents tor every SlOO ofthe
amount received for the sale OF the
patent, as the stamps were all carefully
cancelled. His mistake results in the
aforementioned addition TO the reve-
nues of the government, and a cores
ponding loss to himself as the penalty
of want OF information.
