ny JULIA C. Il. DORU.

We two viii stand in the shadow here,
TO see the bride as she passes by;
Ring soft and low, ring loud and clear,
Ye Ginning bells that swing on high!
Look Look! she comes! The air grows sweet,
With the fragrant breath of the orange blooms
And the flowers she treads beneath her feet
Die In food Of rare perfumes!
She comes! she cOmes Tho happy bells
With their joyous clamor fill the mir,
While the 81 eat organ dies and swells,
Soaring to trembling heights of prayer!
Oh rare are her robes of silken sheon,
And the pearls that CLEAN on her bOsOm's
snow;
But rarer the grace of her royal men,
Her hairs fine gold, and her cheeks young
glow.
Dainty and fair as n folded rose,
Fresh as violet dewy sweet
Chastc as lily she hardly knows
That there are rough paths for other feet;
For Love hath shielded her; Honor kept
Watch beside her by night and day;
And Evil out from her sight hath crept,
Trailing Its slow length far away.
Now in her perfect womanhood,
In all the wealth of her matchless charms,
Lovely and beautiful, pure and good,
She yields herself to her lovers arms.
IIark! how the jubilant voices ring!
Lo! as we stand in the shadow here,
While far above us the gay bells swing,
catch the gleam of happy tear!
The pageant is over. Come with me
TO the other side OF the town. pray
Ere the sun goes down in the darkcning sea,
And night falls around lis, chill and gray
In the dim church porch an hour ago,
We waited the BRIDES fair face to see;
Now life has a sadder sight to show,
A darker picture for you and me.
No need to look for the shadow here,
There are shadows lurking everywhere:
These streets in the brightest day are drear,
And black as the blackness of despair.
But this is the house. Take heed, my friend,
The stairs are rotten, the way is dim;
And up the flights. as we still ascend,
Creep stealthy phantoms dark and grim
Enter this chamber. Day by day,
Alone in this chill and ghostly room
A child-a woman-whch is it, prayy-
Desparingy waits for the hour of doom
All! as she wrings her hands so pale,
NO CLEAN OF wedding ring you see;
There is nothing to tell. You know the tale
God help her now in her misery!
dare not judge her. only know
That love was to her sin and q snare,
While to the bride of an hour ago
1t brought all blessings its hands could bear +!
only know that'to one it came
Laden with honor, and joy, and peace:
Its gifts to the other were woe and shame,
And burning pain that shall never cease.
only know that the soul of one
Has been pearl in a golden case;
That of the other pebble thrown
Idly down in a wayside place,
Where all day long strange footsteps trod.
And the bold, bright sun drank up the dew
Yet both were women righteous God.
Thou only cans 'tjudge between the two!
From the Ahline for Augas.

WAS HE DRUNK,
What Hotel Clerk Knows About
Gratis 1rown.-A Greeley Organ De-
Mands his Withdrawal from the
Ticket.

The following is the story of the
clerk of the New Haven House, as
prepared for the New Haven Palza-
dunn: Mr.. Brown came to the
New Haven House late Wednesday
night from his class supper, and
went to bed. What time he got up
l do not know, but he went out, I
suppose, to the Yale Commence
ment exercises. When he came
back from there, before he went to
the alumni dinner, he went to his
room and sent for some brandy. l
sent him up, before he went away,
three drinks of brandy, for which l
received pay. He came back after
the dinner, and between that time
and the time when he made his
speech he sent down for three more
glasses of brandy, and / am not
sure but more. l know that sold
him six drinks of brandy, and l
think that l sold him eight, and he
paid ME for them.
When he came down to the Office,
before going to the boat, to pay his
bill, l saw that he was very drunk.
He paid his bill, however, and then
turning to the porter said: "What
in-has this man done?" (Here
followed a conversation with the
porter, which was too vile and pro-
fame to put in print, but which the
clerk can swear to- A reporter
then stepped up to him and asked
him to look over his notes Of the
speech, and Brown replied: 81 don't
care a Cd d-n for any newspa-
pere' and other expressions of the
same sort. He then started for the
side door, where a hack was in wal
ting for him. He staggered as he
went along, but finally went away
alone. About fifteen minutes after,
Governor English came down stairs
and / said: "Governor, Mr.. Brown
was rather tight, wasn't hep
eyes," replied the Governor, "some
what set up" On being asked to
state again what Mr.. Browns con-
dition was, the answer was: Gle
was boozy drunk"
Upon the above evidence, the
Springfield Republican of the goth
says:
awe gave currency but no cred
ence, some days ago, to the charge
that Mr.. B. Gratz Brown was drunk
while in attendance upon the Yale
Commencement at New Haven
The evidence of the charge was
loose and general, and our own in
formation from various sources
seemed to prove that it was alto
gether untrue, and that if Mr..
Brown was intoxicated on this oc-
casion, it was with himself and not
with spirituous liquors. But there
comes now more particular testimo-
ny, and though it is borne as yet by
the unnamed clerk or barkeeper of
a hotel and journal very far from
being of the best character for can
dor or truth, the charge is repeated
with such particulars and has such
possibilities in the well-known
weakness of Mr.. Brown constitu-
ton, that we think the burden of
proof is changed by this evidence
to the defense. Mr.. Browns friends
ought, therefore, without delay,
meet this question, either by evil
dence of the untruthfulness of the
charge, or a frank confession of his
disgraceful conduct, and the accept
ance of the just penalty of it, in
Withdrawing him from the high
candidacy which he occupies before
the American people,"

MECHANICAL WHAT Is m.
Wonderful Invention Of a California
Blacksmith.
From the Sacramento Record, July ~.

From the Sacramento Record, July ~.
W. NJ. Bernard, blacksmith and
wagon-maker, of Dixon, Solano
county, has invented, discovered or
constructed road cylinder which
is designed to convey freight or
passengers. 1t consists of a large
drum open at both ends, supposed
to be from four to sixteen feet in
diameter according to the size of
machine desired), and from five to
seven feet in length. Inside this
wooden cylinder three grooved
tracks of steel, one inch by three.
eighths, are laid. This completes
the description of the shell, which
in prospective looks like wine vat
lying on its side. Within this is
placed another cylinder closed at
the ends, and upon the outside of
which as three tracks of iron con-
forming to the three within the 9TH
er cylinder. To the centres of this
inner cylinder the shafts are attach
ed. The freight is placed in the in
ner cylinder and the machine is
ready to 60. The force required to
move it is just equal to the force
required to slide the inner cylinder
on three rails we'll oiled. 1t is in
one sense sled which lays a track
tor itself as it goes. The inventor
believes it will rcvolutionize the
whole wagon business. Expert
ments have been made with one
roughly constructed, only four feet
in diameter, which was freighted
with $500 pounds of iron and seven
men on the outside, which was car
ried easily over level roads by one
horse. The tracks are rough and
the entire model imperfect, but the
experiment greatly encouraged the
inventor, who has applied for pat
ent and will have a working model
on exhibition at the State fair. The
trouble so far has been to give
the thing name which will be de-
scriptive of its construction and
use. Many have been suggested
Among them: revolving sled,"
"barrel railroad" "cylinder wag-
on, ""drum coach, "roller PORTAGE"
and the one used by us, "road cyl
inder." Like all inYentors, "Billy"
is laughed at for the quaint novelty
Of his invention, and his neighbors
l talk of placing the machine under
bonds not to kill sheep or trespass
upon the dairy; but che laughs best
who laughs last" and Billy is re-
serving his laugh for final chuckle.

From the Saturday Review

From the Saturday Review.
After all, is the world so very ab-
surd in its love Of pretty women?-
Is woman so very ridiculous in her
chase after beauty? A pretty wo-
man is doing q good woman's work
in the world, but not making speech
es nor making puddings, but by
making life SUMMER and more beau
tiful. Man has foresworn the pur.
suit of beauty altogether. Does he
seek it for himself, he is guessed to
be frivolous, he is guessed to be
poetic, there are whispers that his
morals are not better than they
should be. In society resolute to
be ugly there is no post for an
Adonis but that of a model or
guardsman. But woman does for
mankind what man has ceased to
do. Her aim from childhood is to
be beautiful. Even as a school girl
she notes the progress of her
charms, the deepening color of her
hair, the growing symmetry of her
arm, the ripening contour of her
cheek. We watch, with silent in
terest, the mysterious reveries of the
maiden; she is dreaming of a COM
ing beauty, and painting for the
glories Of eighteen. Insensibly, she
becomes an artist; her room is a
studio, her glass an academy. The
joy of her toilet is the joy of Raph-
ael over his canvas, of Michael An
gelo over his marble. She is ere.
ating beauty in the silence and
loneliness Of her chamber; she
grows like any art-creation, the re-
suit of patience, Of hope, of a
thousand delicate touchings and
retouchings. Woman is never per-
feet; never complete. A restless
night undoes the beauty of the day;
sunshine blurs the evanescent color
ing Of her cheek; frost nips the ten
der outlines of her face into sudden
harshness. Care plows its lines
across her brow; motherhood des-
troys the elastic lightness of her
form; the bloom Of her cheek, the
quick flash of her eyes, fade and
vanish as the years go by. But
woman is still true to her ideal
She won't know when she is beaten,
and she manages to steal fresh vic
tories even in her defeat. She in
vents new conceptions cf womanly
grace; she rallies at forty and fronts
us with the beauty Of womanhood;
she makes last stand at sixty, with
the beauty of age. She falls like
Caesar, wrapping her mantle around
her-"buried in wooden! 'twould a
saint provoked" Death listens pitt
fully to the longings of lifetime,
and the wrinkled face smiles with
something Of the prettiness of eigh-
teen.

BEAUTIFUL SENTENcEs.-"I ex-
pect to pass through this world but
once. If, therefore, there can be
any kindness l can do for any fel-
low-being, let me do it now. Let
me not defer nor neglect it, for l
will not pass this way again. Most
men live as if they expected to
come around again, when they will
do the kindnesses they neglect to
do during the present life. Con-
cerned for self, they fail to loYe
their neighbors, and distribute none
of those sweet charities which are
to our fellow men as the flowers Of
spring and the singing of BIRDS
Let the words of the Quaker stimu-
late us to do what wo have to do
now. We will not travel this way
again. -

they added to their stock in the
shape Of Gents Hats and Fur

a Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-

An Enthusiastic Experimenter-
gular Observations.

"Air and Rain, the Beginning of
u Chemical Climatology," is the
title of a book just published in
London. The author is DR.. Robert
Angus Smith, who essays to throw
new light upon the origin of dis
eases. He gives, in an elaborate
series, some valuable information
regarding the state of air in mines.
1t is found that even in the worst
mines the amount of oxygen does
not go below Is per cent, while
sometimes the excess of carbonic
acid more than makes up for the
deficiency of oxygen, the reason be-
ing,as DR. Smith remarks, that when
gunpowder is exploded carbonic
iacid is generated without oxygen
being consumed.
In connection with an inquiry for
the Mines Commissioner, DR.. Smith
made numerous experiments upon
the air of confined places, as he
modestly says, but in reality he shut
himself up sometimes for more than
two hours at a time in a small bed
chamber, the cubic contents of
which were about ITO feet. The
following is the record Of one of
his experiments in his chamber:
After the experiment on the com
bustion of candles, we entered with
candles and a spirit lamp. The
lights were soon extipguished, and
it was found impossible to re-kindle
them with matches; wooden match
os were used; they refused to ig-
mite. Still we breathcd without diff
ficulty at first, but gradual feeling
of discomfort appeared, of kind
which is not easily described; it
was restlessncss and anxiety with
ont pain. while the breathing in
creased in rapidity. Aftcrward
gas was lighted, and it burned with
brilliancy. On entering after the
gas had gone out, candles were OK
tinguished as rapidly and complete
ly as if they had been thrust into
water; nevertheless, we still breath
cd, and although every one was
anxious to go out, no very correct
description Of the feelings could be
given. stood ON q chair, and then
a feeling of incipient fainting began,
but the senses were not annoyed by
anything beyond feeling of close
ness, by no means SO disagreeablc
as a schoolroom or close end. This
is a very important matter, as it
points again to the organic matter,
Of which there was little here, and
Of which there is much in the school
room. Hs iIoJ5''
