The Ril,ening Corn.

How sweet to walk through the wheatlands
Drown,
When the tecning fa,nsss Of Heaven drops
down, :
The waving corn with bursting cars
A sea Of gold on the earth appears;
N" longer robed in q dress of green,
With tawny faces the fields are soen;
sight more welcome and joyous afar
Than hundred blootl-won victories arc.
Beautiful custom was that Of old,
When the Hebrew brought, with Joy untold,
Tho early cars of the ripening corn
An laid them down by the affairs horn;
When tho priesthood waved them before the
Lord,
While tho Givcr OF harvcsts all hearts adorcd
What gifts mere could suited man impart
To express the flow of his grateful heart?
a crowd waits meath the cottage caves
TO cut the corn and bind tn shcavcs;
Atlengtl is heard the expected sound
Put in the sickle, the corn is Drowned
And tho rcapers go forth with as biithe sou
Az those who joined the Olympian goal;
Aud sorrowlcss hearts and voices come
To swell tho hearts OF t. &c harvest home.
And there is reaper on Garth we'll known
Whose deeds a:e traced on tho burial stone
lilo carries sickle more deadly and keen
Than Ger in the harvest field was seen;
lie cuts down the earliest ears III spring,
As vol as the ripost that times can hring.
The tarcs he gathers to flames are driven;
The wheat is laid i'll the garner Of Heaven.

The NitrAillellSe.

Russia is apparently the only
power which still believes in the real
efficacy of the mitrailleuse. The Gear
has provided his army with fifteen bat
teries of Gatlings, one for each infantry
division but England, it appears, has
only ten or q dozen in store, and the
French War Department is said to
have condemned the thing outright.
This might be thought the result of
national disappointment, considering
with what a flourish the horrible en-
CINE was introduced at Satory, and all
the expectations which were raised by
the slaughter done on the poor horses
at camp. But the Germans, also,
who captured what they call the Is bull
let-squirt by scores, and took them
with ammunition and equipments to
Berlin, appear to care very little about
this machine as an implement of war.
The experiments made at Woolwich by
the Royal Artillery of Great Britain,
tend in the same direction. Experts
say that the mitrailleuse, even in it's
best form, is only used for defending
narrow passages or sweeping well.de
defined path at close quarters. It's eff
feet would be great at a breach, or in
protecting the flank of a main ditch :;
but grape and canister are far more
formidable at regular ranges, and 'shrap-
mel demoralizes troops sooner, and
reaches them even when under cover.

Suicide OF q Banished Polish Noblcman,


From the N. Y. Sun, Sept. sd.
Two months ago William Sh1bert, a
druggist, engaged Leopold Krelnski as
a clerk. Yesterday morning Kremski
was found dead in q room in the rear
of the store, It is believed he had ia
ken morphine, Intending to commit
suicide. Kremski was Polish noble
man, an exile, having been driven from
his native country about six years ago
for political offense. HIS wife, who
was lady of rank, came with her hus-
band to this country. Some fourteen
months ago Mrs. Kremski died. Just
before her death she received a legacy
OF SO, 900, but on her decease it re
vertcd TO other heirs. The wa,t of
this money embarrassed Kremski. His
misery was increased by long and
serious attack of rheumatism. and he
had repeatedly said to his friends, " I
have nothing to live for-I wish T was
dead !" About nine o'clock yesterday
morning lad went into the room and
found his body lying on the floor, his
head resting against the side of the
sofa. On the sofa lay bottle partly
filled with an amber colored fluid. The
bottle was labeled tine. opil., but it's
contents are unknown. Mr.. Shubert
missed a large quantity of morphine,
and thinks Kremski used it during the
DAY and night on Sunday and that 1t
killed him.
kremski was thirty-five years old.
HIS had been highly educated, and was
immensely wealthy when exiled. His
estate was confiscated. He leaves no
children.

he has of winding his horrible arms
around man if he chances to battle in
his neighborhood. If tho unfortunate
man has no weapons to kill him. or
cut OIL his arms he is sure to be Rugged
to death.
Sometimes this interesting monster
makes himself into a web, something
like gigantic spiders web. He goes
among the stems of plant that grows
in straight long stems, and winding
one arm around one stout stalk, he stiff
fens out the other seven, SO that he
looks Just like the plant stems, and
the fishes, not seeing what it is arc

1t isn't very pleasant iden to us,
/ but tho Indians of North America. who
live on the shore, aro fond of eating
] this mansucker, and it's a very delicate
| job, l can tell You, to catch him, and
not have him catch you.
The Indian is very cunning about it,
and this is the way he does it.
he paddles around in his canoe,
looking carefully through the clear WA
ter till he secs ono of the creatures
with his arms stuck out, waiting for its
breakfast. The Indian has spear ten
or twelve feet long, with a dreadful
cluster of hard wool spears with barbs
on, at the end. He now cautiously
puts the spear down through the wa
ter, till it is only about an inch from
the body of the Octopus, and then he
sends it crashing down into him.
OF course, the first thing the creature
does, is to grasp his tormentor, 40 he
winds his horrid arms around the pole.
The Indian holds him carefully of. for
if he could reach the canoe with one
arm, he could tip it over in IN Instant.
But he isn't dead yet so the Indian
draws him out of the water, then taking
another spear, smooth and sharp, he
stabs the creature where the arms Join
the body. 49,; -.H -
That seems to take the strength out
Of the arms, for they fall of, until at
last the Indian drags him, dead, into
the canoe, looking like a lump of brown
jelly.
The Indian takes it home and roasts
it. l don't know if it's any worse to
eat him than to eat q lobster, but I
must say don't feel inclined to try it.

A NJ l,sical Tent.

The Kiosk Hollandia, which gained
. silver medal at the Industrial Exhibi
ton of 1871, is musical tent which,
by the wonderful construction of its
sounding board, propagates musical
sounds in an astonishing degree. Its
superior qualities may be enumerated
thus: 1. The sounds of the brass in
struments, which hitherto frequently
hurt the nerves of the ear, will gain in
effect by their passage through the
pipes, becoming less harsh and noisy
2. II will be possible to give several
concerts in several parts of a park,
garden or building, ut the same time,
With only one set If performers. The
success Of the invention depends quite
as much upon the correct and minute
division of space as upon the use made
of the building materials.

Mrs. Hyacinthe.

Mrs. Emile J. Merriman, who has
married Pere Hyacinthe IN London, is
remembered by many persons in New
York and Brooklyn as one who has led
a very eventful life. She was separated
from her husband some years before
his death, sold small house and cou-
pie of lots in Brooklyn, which he had
decided to her, and went with her
daughter to travel abroad, acting as
agent of a patent corset, and endeavor-
ing to act as correspondent to papers,
in which last she was not successful.
Mrs. Merriman was converted to Ro.
manism while on this trip. After her
husbands death she returned to New
York, in order to obtain money for an
insurance upon his life, which he had
presented to her during their earlv
married life, and which she had kept
laid up while abroad. While here she
became reconverted to Professionalism
under the ministration of Rev. Joseph
Thompson, of the Church of the Taber-
pacle, but finally left New York and
went back to Paris, where Pere Hya
cinthe converted her back again to Ro.
manism, and was converted by her to
matrimOny.

hilt, which is richly ornnmented with
precious stones. Upon the blade the

4 Fortified Human Body.

They are removing the remains in
tered in an old cemetery near Lincoln
Park, Chicago, and q reporter of the
Times tells the following story of what
he saw IN one of the collins exhumed.
We give it for what it is worth:
"Within lay the body of an infant,
about the size of one that might have
been at the time of death two or three
months old. There was nothing strange
thus far. About on either side were
lying the collins of others of all sizes
and in all stages of ruin. The only
point of difference was that the small
coffin, as well as the body within, were
IN y much better state Of preservation
than tue others. But perhaps it had
not been long inferred. The reporter
was asked by Mr.. Goodwillie to exam
inc the infant corpse. It is
Just liIe stone, said he: The re-
porter stopped over the coffin, and felt
Of the little body. It was indeed hard,
and cold, like stone, ur marble. In
fact, to all appearances. it was stone.
The body had, in fact, become petri-
fed. Knocked upon with a knife
handle, it emitted sound precisely
similar to that of a stone hit with the
same instrument. It was not of q
natural flesh color, being of pinky
tint. The features were intact, and as
perfect as if chiselled from stone, by
| the def hand OF some sculptor. The
body was, likewise, complete and per-
feet. It resembled in all but color the
marble babies on monuments that can
be seen over the tombs of infants in
] o,nv IF n,pn oorookopino -
genuine case of natures mummyizing
human being.
All, save the mother of the little in
FAINT, stood mutely looking upon it, but
she became nearly frantic with excite
ment from the first moment that the
body was exposed to view. She had
endeavored to take it from the coffin,
crying bitterly, and wildly insisting
upon taking it with her to her home.
Her husband held her back and would
not allow her 70 remove it. The mother
seemed nearly distracted with grief at
the thought Of iIs being reinterred. It
looked so natural and beautiful, so like
the baby that she had placed in the
grave ten years ago, that it brought up
all her sorrow afresh, rs if she was hut
now laying the loved darling in the
earth. The body was removed, with
others which the family had come there
to exhume, to Graceland, and reburried.
The family are Swedes, and it was
learned reside short distance out of
the city. The child, SO remarkably
preserved, had been buried for more
than ten years."

He,prul Hints to Ilou. sevvlves.

Helpful Hints to 11ou. s1vvaves'
VEAL Mo1D.--Line sma II mold with,
hard boiled eggs, cut acrOs q 80 M to
show the yolk, and fill it up with small
pieces of veal, nicely favored. and ill
up with clear veal jelly or isinglass
jelly.
BURNT BUTrER.-Put a coul s1e OF
ounces OF butter in fryiug-pan set
it on the fire; when of dark b rown
color put in half teacup of vineg. n, .
little pepper and salt. This is good
for fish, salad, or eggs.
Boston PuDprNa:-Take six ounces
of fine -four, six ounces OF fresh sueh
shred fine, six ounces of raisins stoned
cup of molasses, a cup of milk. Mix
we'll, put in q basin, tie cloth over,
aud boil Tor three or four hours.
Serve with sweet liquid sauce.
BAKED ToMAToEs.-Take them when
fully ripe, cut off slice from the stem
side, scoop out the pulp of the tomato,
and mix with it bread crumbs, butter,
pepper and salt. Fill the emtpy shell
with this mixture, replace the slices,
put them in shallow pan, and bake M
hour.
To KEEP WoRMs FROM DRIED FRUrr.-
Place your fruit in Il steamer over a pot
Of boiling water, covered tightly.
When thoroughly heated, tie then
Immediately in clean linen or cotton
bag, and hing them up. THIS method
is preferable to heating in an oven, as
that is apt to render them hard, even
If you are so fortunate - not to burn
them.
TO MAKE CRAZE BUrTER.-Pick the
grapes from the stems wash and put
them in Il pot with very little water,
~ there is great deal of juice in Thorn.
Boil until tender; then take off aud
strain them through colander. Put
Il pound of sugar to a quart of juice.
Boil and stir we'll until done. No spices
required. Grapes that fail to ripen
may be used probably in this way.
How TO F1x THE C1ocK.-When the
clock stops, do not take it to the re-
pair shop till you have tried as follows
Take off the pointers and the face take
of the pendulum and its wire. Remove
the ratchet from the ''tick ~. wheel, aud
the clock will run down with great
velocity. Let it 60; the increasing
speed wears away the gum and dust
from its pinions-the clock cleans itself.
If you have any sperm oil, put the least
bit OH the axles. Put the machine
together, and nine times ont of ten it
will run just as we'll as if it had been
taken to the shop. In fact, this is the
way most shopmen clean clocks. If
instead of pendulum the clock has
watch escapement, this latter can be
taken out in Nm instant, without taking
the works apart, end the result is the
same. 1t takes about twenty minutes
TO 80 clean brass clock, and saves q
dollar.
