Nothing Cares.

Ay, nothing cares the buds peep out
 Through the glory of waving grasses; The lime-tree filings it's passionate breath
 Ts the light wind as it passes. The roses cluster, crimson and white,
 In affiuent glow and bloom; The sunshine lends it's careless light
 To the cradle and the tomb. The wild birds sing mid the wedding chimes Or the mourners' sobbing prayers; The seasons keep their stated time,
 Life passes; nothing cares. Our joy cannot soften the keen gray skies, Or the sting of the glittering frost; Our cry cannot sadden the Springs sweet sigh On the merry breezes tossed; Our woe docs not cloud the Summers flush, As it gladdens Ger land or sea; Our triumph sinks down when the Autumn husl Claims it's grave tranquility. Oh never a touch of sympathy
 Great Natures magic wears; We strive and stumble, and moan, and diet Life passes; nothing cares. Oh love them, while our days are bright, Beauty, and life, and flowers: Let them give our Summer added light,
 Lot them bless our few bright hours And when the certain shadows creep
 Over the path we go, Let us turn away from 1t all and weep,
 And boar, as we may, our woe; Asking no comfort from outward things,
 That but jar and mock our prayers, For bitter truth experience brings
 We die and nothing cares

Railway Disasters in England.

There can be no doubt that railroad management in England is more uniform ly, thorough than in this country. We have, it is true, some roads which are managed with skill and care and fore. sight and liberal expenditure hardly sur passed by the English roads, but we have too many other lines so bunglingly man. aged as to be hardly fit for transportation of cattle, to say nothing of human beings. But admitting that the English railroad management is, as we said, more uniform ly thorough than ours, it may be ques- tioned if it is not too highly rated here.
 It is easy to account for this over esti- mate. We hear of our own accidents, or at least the most of them, while we hear, as a general thing, only of the most terri ble of the disasters happening on the En- glish roads. ,.s.
 But that there is at times almost as gross mismanagemento on some of the En- glish roads as disgraces certain of our own is evident from the complaints put up by the people there, as well as from the official reports. Captain Tyler's Gen. eral report shows that the number of ao. cidents on English roads had increased from one hundred and thirty one, in 1870 to one hundred and seventy-one, in 1871, although fortunately the number of pas sengers killed by causes beyond their own control had decreased from sixty-six to twelve, while there was also decrease in the number of passengers injured.

Execution of Siamese Princesses.

The IadiGn Statesmen :-" There are rumors that three or four princesses of Siam ard, two servants have been accused of stealing gold chains, diamonds, and precious stones. The gold chains, dia- monds and other precious stones that were attached to the Kings sword had been taken away, and imitation chains and stones had replaced them. These depre- datians, it is rumored, were made during the late reign, but have only recently been discovered. Some say those accused of the theft have received ninety lashes each. The servants are to be executed, and the princesses to be disposed of as the law provides for persons of their rank if found really guilty of the theft. Others say the ladies ot rank who are implicated are being tried, and it is not yet known what their punishment will be.
 If there is any basis for the rumors, and the princesses should be implicated and found guilty, their sentences will doubt less be death. The execution of princes ol princesses would be at some prominent temple. They would be bound and fasten ed in a bag, block of chanwood of tri angular shape would be placed on tht ground, and the fastened body turned face downward,so as to bring the neol below the chin en the triangular block At 8 given signal the first executioner after raising his chanwood cudgel, woul' strike the fatal blow on the back of th neck, and the three other executioners similarly armed, would continue thei blows on the body until itentirely cease to quiver. The bag containing the bod would then be weighted and thrown int the river. This, it is stated, is the wa in which his Royal Highness Krom Luang Rak Konnassett was executed i 1Sx9.

Why Men Don't Marry.

Rev. Henry Morgan lectured in Bos' ton on "Why men don't marry" His headings were these Men don't marry first, because they can't; they can't get the one they want bachelors have high notions. Second-Because many of them are towards, they dare not face the music they dodge the question. Thirdly-Because they are skeptical they have no faith in woman think marriage lottery. Fourth-They are selfish they cannot yield for anothers' good can't support family want the sweets of life without bearing it's bur- dens. Flfth-Woman's extravaganza. Here tke speaker showed true cause fol mans hesitating-expensive living and extravagant dress. It costs as much to launch woman on the sea of welded life as it would do to fit out small schooner. As to sails, cordage, pen nants, streamers, the difference is in favor of the schooner.
 Next, whom do men marry? Women, of course. John Howard, the great philanthropist, married his nurse he 20, she 52. John Wesley married vlx' en. Peter the Great married peasant girl. Humboldt married Q poor girl he loved. Shakespeare welded 6 farmers daughter. Byron married fol money to pay his debts. Robert Burns married girl whom he courted in the plow-field. Milton parted from his wife Napoleon Bonaparte married widow. Franklin married the girl that saw hin with the rolls under his arm. Washing ton married a widow. Andrew Jackson married a woman whose husband Wal living. Edward Lytton Bulwer married @ shrew. General Fremont married tn, daughter of Thomas Benton by eloping Martin Luther married nun. Fathe Hyacinthe married convert that finall. converted him.

Scenes Among tue Germans.

A writer from Dresden, in the Chicago Inter- Ocean, says that the forced service in the army is the main cause of the great emigration, and so great has it been this season-over S0,000-that soldiers have been detailed to gather the crops, and dwellings, are absolutely not to be found, muslin and frame tents being thrown up in Berlin to accom- modate the incoming population, who are giving up their little homes with the firm intention, as soon as they can get passage, of finding others in country where they imagine no want exists. In Germany the child of but Q few years of age IS set to labor, either in carrying the universal korb (basket), suited to their size, upon their back, dragging their wagons through the streets, or working in the field. The korb holds about one and half bushels, and it is girls or women always who carry them, either unloading coal boats, for which they receive five pfenings for two full baskets (about one and quarter cents), or bringing them to market filled with produce, and many times have I seen Q full-laden one placed upon the rounded back of an old woman by a burly man, who walked by her side laughing and talking while she toiled along with her heavy load.
 Women almost invariably make the mortar and carry it to the builders. They drag about the streets coal or other mat ter in wagons holding nearly ton, upon one side of the tongue themselves with strap over the shoulder, and upon the other dog. They dig and blow in the fields, at times harnessed with an OK. They break the coal in pieces and carry it up to the houses and assist in saving wood, which is done on 8 standard three feet high, one at either end of the saw, while the man splits it ready for them to deliver.
 The peasantry are uncouth in their appearance, and rough in their manner, paying little attention to the graces of life, and yet have delight in flowers and music, which has no lack of food in this land of beautiful art. Their diet is simple, consisting mainly of black bread, made sour purposely, sausage, and coffee or beer. Fresh meat they have but seldom, and the workman seems to thrive on his lump of bread and cheese and potatoes, which he eats at least five times day, and washes down with the beer made at home. brewery beer being too expensive for his daily use. They have, after all their harvests, feast, to which all neighbors resort, gayly dancing the evening away. In one of our country walks we innocent ly walked into stable where the women, as usual, were threshing, and the men idling about, as it was not their work. A fine was demanded from us as from others for the entertainment which was to follow. Just now the potatoes are all gathered and merry -makings are fill ing the country round. Their pleasures are simple, but their life is hard, with no prospect of change, and America, the heaven for women and children, and field of future prosperity for men, is longed for, and every exertion made to reach it.

TAXING DEATH Coonny.-Penal reform

TAKING DEATH Coo11Y.-Penalr reform has evidently been making progress m Italy. Witness recent occurrence at Chieti. a city in the province of Naples. Ten brigands were brought to trial in batch, and nine were condemned to death while the other was sentenced to imprisonment for twenty-five years. A writer who was an eyewitness, de- scribes the scene when these seven sem tences were solemnly pronounced by the court. All of the convicts manifested the greatest amusement; jokes were fre- questly exchanged; snuff box was passed around and one after another took hearty pinch. and all were at great pains to show their contempt. Then before leaving the dock they asked the names of the jury and of the prose- cutting witnesses, and one of them pleas antly added: "In March or April we shall meet" All of which shows that the humanitarians of Italy have succeed ed in their work so far that the criminals with which that country is overrun have learned to regard sentences of death as little pleasantries that the courts occa- sionally indulge in for their own amuse- ment, -.E .s..z..a.eT

" I Make No Mistakes"

A irst-rate story is told of very prom, inent man, who lived in Detroit forty years ago, and who at that time owned more steamboat stock than any man in the Western country, besides other wealth to large amount.
 Like many of the pioneers who acquired great riches; he was very ignorant in all that books taught, but his learning is more like wisdom, and, in common with many who have lived and passed away but left their mark behind them, he knew what tree would make shingles by locking at it.
 He had, at the time of our story, just completed a splendid new warehouse al Buffalo, and wanting a suitable clerk to take charge of it, he advertised for one ir the papers. The next morning early, q candidate for the position presented him. self, rather too fashy young man ir appearance, but the following conversa- tion occurred:
 Young man, when you make mistake in any of your books, how do you correct it9"
 The young man explained, in a very profuss manner, how he should proceed to make it all right.
 "A good way, no doubt, to do it, re- piled the old man, "but I shan't want you"
 Very soon another aspirant put in an appearance. A similar question was asked him, and in long and eloquent manner he pointed out the remedy in all such cases.
 All the reply was: "Young man, shan't want you"
 Some three or four others dropped in during the day, and to each one the same question was put, and they all had some smart way of covering up errors in their books,
 The old gentleman was entirely ignor- ant himself of the art of bookkeeping, but he had wisdom in all things, which is more. than a match for learning.
 Just at the close of the day plainly dressed man with bright eye and brisk step called for the situation.
 "Take 8 seat, sir" said the old gentle man, "I want to ask you one question. When you make false entry on your books, how do you go to work to correct it9"
 Turning upon his questioner cold, sharp look, the young man replied "l don't make that kind of mistakes, sir"
 "Ah my dear sir, you are just the man have been looking for all day." and in g few moments after, the man who corrected his blunders by not making them, was in- stalled in the office.

THE SToRM.-The late storm in the North of Europe was frightful in its ravages upon the coast of Denmark and Prussia. The Prussian fortified town of Stralsund was considerably damaged by inundation, and reports eighty vessels wrecked. The Island of Rugen, jus op- posite, had it's fshing-boats destroyed and its fields flooded. The little Islands of Zingst, Darr, and Hiddensee lost all their fishing-smacks, and had their homes damaged by high water, while half the town of Praosto was prostrated by the wind, and the small Island of Botoe, with all its inhabitants, was con- pletely submerged.
