A Secret.

1t il your secret and mine love,
All me how the drrary rain.
with slow persistence all day long,
Dripped "n the window pane,
The chamber was weird with shadows.
And dark with the deepening gloom.
Where y"u i'll y"nr royal womanhood
Lay waiting for the tomb,
They had r"bed you all in white, love,
In your hair WAS "A single rose:
\ marble rose it might well have been,
In its cold and still rrposc,
., paler than yunder cavern saint.
And calm as the angels are.
lou seemed 40 near me, my beloved.
Yet We're, alas. so far
do not know if wcpt, love,
But my soul rose up and said:
My heart shall speak unto her heart.
Though here she is lying-dead
will give her last love-tnken
That shall be- To her sign
In the dark grave-or beyond it =
Of this deathlrss love of mine
~ sought me little scroll, love,
And thereon in eager haste.
Lest an"thers eye should read them
Some mystic words traced.
Then close i'll your claspcd fingers
close i'll your waXrn hand,
placed the scroll as an amulet.
Sure you would understand
The secret is yours and mine, love!
Only We two may know
What words sh"nr clear i'll the darkness
OF your grave >" green and low.
But if. when We meet hereafter,
In the dawn of "a flirrr day,
You whisper those mystical words, love,
1t is all | would have You say

no little amusement by their activity in
swapping up unwary gophers, rats, mice

The RHODE ISLAND SPRAGUEs. - A
Providence, r. L., correspondent If the
Boston Globe says: The Spragues are
expecting to do great business the com
ing season, and have prepared for it. As
this firm Of manufacturers take the lead
in Rhode Island it may be interesting for
me to state few facts about them. The
firm consists of Amasa and William
Sprague, the latter well known as one Of
our United States Senators Amasa is the
business NAH Of the brothers, and devotes
himself to the affairs with great assiduity.
He has no distracting interests, save a
love for horse1esh, and is constant to his
business duties. William is also a good
business man but he is deeply inter
ested in politics, and has great ambition
for the honors Of Government. He is a
careful student and possesses really large
faculty of precience. The firm does a
business Of many millions of dollars a
year, and have mills and interests not only
in this State, but in Maine, Connecticut
and South Carolina. They employ fifteen
thousand persons in all their concerns, and
what their payroll must be can only be
left to the imagination. Besides their
proper business, they are interested in
some Of our most fiourishin0 manufactur-
ing and business enterprises, and the irons
they have In the fire no one can count. At
their Cranston print works there are one
hundred employees who have been with
the house nearly fifty years, commencing
years before the present owners were born.
These veterans are allowed to do as they
please, work or not, as it suits them, at the
same time drawing good pay. Some Of
them have the idea that they own the
works, and never hesitate to suggest the
proper way to carry on the business. There
are also fifteen pensioners at the works,
who do no labor, but have been put on the
payroll for life for faithful service in years
past.

A correspondent Of the Cleveland Lead


A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader
writes from Grand Traverse
There il still considerable tract Of gov
ernment land lying around loose thirty to
fifty miles east and Northeast Of this city.
No good government Land will be found
much nearer. Antrim, KalkMskA, Otsego,
Crawford and other countries in the north
central portion oe Michigan contain much
passably good sandy loam soil where the
timber il mostly hardwood. However,
from the very nature Of lumber country,
the timber will be fo~nd very much strait
tied, and the soil consequently IN good, bad
and Indifferent. The pine plains are prin-
clpally barren, but between them II IN
good hard timber, mostly maple, elm and
beech, as ever laid outdoors, which can

ing homestesder The seasons resemble
those further south-very late falls and
late springs. The ground never freezes.

MECHANICAL AND Scientific


The Boston Journal Of Chemistry quotes
from q Nevada paper an account Of q small
fish, found embedded in the ice Of the Hum
boldt by some workmen employed in filling
an ice house. 1t was solidly encased in ice
an clear az crystal but when the lump
was placed in water and slowly iquiied, the
supposed corpse gradually resumed life and
activity, and after a few preliminary tail
quiverings and turnings-over, swan away
as if nothing had happened. II that fish
should be hereafter caught and fried, its
experience Of themperature will have been
extensive.
ELECTROMAGNETIC MOTORS
The obstacle which is universally fatal to
the economical success of electromagnetic
machines is the cost Of the power, which il
said to be several hundred times as great M
that OF the comparatively incomplete utili-
Lation of steam. Water-power il probably
the most completely utilized, a. it il the
most cheaply obtained, Of all Wind-pow-
er comes NEXT In both these respects. In
these two cases, the forces Of nature are al
ready converted, in natures own laboratory,
into that form which We require namely,
motion. In the case Of steam, electro-mag
netism, compressed or heated air, and 9th
er mechanical motors, man must first con
vert into motion the forces Of heat, ehemi-
cal action, etc, and this 10 only accomp-
lished at great loss. Thus, the quantity
of heat developed by the combustion of any
fuel can be measured, and 1t can be Accu-
rately known how much mechanical work
it is adequate 70 perform but the best
steam-engines do not utilize more than one
tenth Of this heat, the rest being consumed
in the work Of making steam, and lost by
the inevitable imperfections ofthe aparatua-
EFFECTS or LIQUOR ON FowLs.o
Some curious experiments have recently
been made In France to ascertain the effects
Of wine, brandy and absinthe on fowls
The result was that they lost Hesh rapidly,
more especially those that drank abainthe.
Two months of sbsinthe drinking was found
sufficient to kill the strongest cock or hen.
The fowls that indulged in brandy alone
lasted, however, four months and half,
while the wine bibblers survived for ten
months. 1t was not only their health
which was affected by alcohol, their person
al appearance underwent an extraordinary
change. An immense development Of cOcka'
cresta took place. The crests, it In stated,
increased to four times the original size,
and assumed line of unnatural brightness
probably on the same principle that the
noses of confirmed drunkArds become pre-

savage white man, and preferred to per-
form the operation himself / therefore
ordered one Of the men to hold the dogs
tail over a convenient log, while the other
held his head and fore paws. All being
ready, the Indian seized an axe, but
instead Of using it a. any other person
would have done, he swung the blade high
above his head with both hands a. IL the
object to be separated required his whole
strength. Just then the soldier who held
the tail gave it a sudden pull, while the
one at the head gave il corresponding
push. Down came the keen weapon,
