WHAT THEN ?

After the joys Of earth,
After the songs of mirth,
After its hours of sight,
After its dreams so bright
What then 2
Only an empty name,
Only a weary frame,
Only conscious smart,
Only an aching heart.
After this empty name,
After this weary frame,
After this conscious smart,
After this aching heart
What then 7
Only sad farewell
To u world loved too we'll;
Only silent bed
With the forgotten dead
After this sad farewell
To a world loved too we'll;
After this silent bed

The Tarantula.

Horrible and loathsome as the rattle snake is, and though, on the whole, he is, of course, more feared than any other creature in America, yet, on the western frontier, he is not dreaded so much as the tarantula spider. This is an enemy against whom none can guard, and for whose bite no remedy has been found. Such alarm do they inspire, that have known a large party of men, who had 'camped out all through a snake country, and through the midst of hostile Indians, driven from a desirable position by discovering that ta- rantulas infested the spot. The tarantula spider commonly grows to the size of half large walnut, being thick and rounded something like the half-shell, and has eight long legs, two at each corner. It is covered with long hair; and is, indeed, as ugly and disgusting reptile or insect, or whatever it is, as can easily be seen. The most abound, declare most stoutly that fist of a man, but I think this is great exaggeration at anyrate, have never seen any approach this size. l do not know if there are several varieties of the tarantula, but some are said to haunt the marshy borders or streams, while others are found in dry, rocky places. Last sum- mer a woman was bitten near this district by one, just above her ankle; the poison acted quite as quickly as serpent poison, and she was carried to the nearest town for surgical advice. I have not heard whether she lived or died, but her leg was all one uniform size from the instep to above the knee--I should think eighteen or twenty inches round-and shockingly dis celored and infamed. knew one of two men who were sleeping in a tent when a tarantula found it's way in. They were both bitten by the same spider; one died, the other was scared for life. The taran- tula is more dangerous than other venom ous creatures, because light attracts it, and will always crawl into tent, if possi- ble, where light is burning. They infict the wounds with their mouths, and not with nippers or claws GAambcr's Jour- 7,nZ

Terrible Fire in Boston.

The business heart of Boston has been burned out. A fire which began at half past seven o'clock on Saturday evening, in the engine room of large wholesale dry goods house in Kingston Street, the boundery in the South End, between the tenement houses and the heaviest wholesale blocks, ragged over fifteen hours, and could not be fairly said to be subdued till near five o'clock Sunday evening. It swept away the finest blocks of granite buildings for business pur- poses on this continent, the burnt dis trict being bounded by Washington, Bedford, Summer, Broad, State, Con- gress and Milk Streets. The seat of the wholesale dry-goods, leather, boot and shoe, aud wool trades is in ruins.
 Dazed business men, on the spot, talk wildly of an aggregate of $250, ,000, ,O00 loss; it is clear. from the most careful calculations that the loss cannot in any case fall below eighty to one hundred millions of dollars. The local insurance companies are ruined, with many else where in New England, which have here tofore been rated among the soundest and strongest in tbe country. The loss, however, falls mainly on those best able to bear it, the wealthiest classes in one of the wealthiest cities of the Union ]; and the immediate suffering for lack of shelter will be nothing like as great as the Chicago fire.

AN ACT OF JUsT1oE.-Doubting Cas- tie was sad stumbling block in the path of Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets us when we are asked to believe anything particularly extraor- dinary. Consequently when we heard some eighteen months ago, that physi- clan in California had compounded, from the juices and extracts Of certain herbs found there, medicine that cured almost every variety of blood disease, we were incredulous. Since then we have had opportunities of testing the accuracy of the report, and are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Seeing what we have seen, knowing what we know, it is impossible for us to ques- tion the remedical proprieties of DR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs. That this famous vegetable Tonic, Alterative, and Antiseptic is specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous, Taint in the Blood, Incipient Consumption, Local and General De- blity, Rheumatism, Sick Headache, and Diseases of the Kidneys, seems to be 8 matter beyond the pale of controversy c fred fast im medical History. The state- ments of friends, in whose veracity and intelligence we have full confidence, cor roborated by our own personal observa
 tion compel us, to admit the surpassing merits of the preparation. .-Con.

THE ALABAMA CLA1Ms.-Mr. Walter, M. F., proprietor of the London Times, speaking before his constituents, said he thought it impossible to rate too highly the benefit which both Great Britain and the United States must derive from the settlement of the Alabama question. It was not, he thought, because British mill itary or navel preparations were inadequate to the emergency that the course taken was adopted; nor did he think, had those preparations been more adequate, diff ferent course would have been pursued by the Government. He should regret ex- ceedingly if it could be supposed that the policy of Great Britain on that most momentous question was dictated by any, thing else than that innate love of justice and fair dealing which he believed not only to be the most noble feeling which could be entertained by statesmen, but which lay at the very root of society. He thought, in spite of the complications and difficulties of international law, England did owe some reparation to America for the losses which had been sustained by the depradations of the Alabama, and he be- leved that was the sole motive which in- fuenced the Government in sanctioning the treaty, which he believed contained nothing but what was honorable to this country.

A Picture Indian Summer,

Wrapped in peaceful stiffness Nature lies, As if, while gazing on the quiet skies, She had looked past their depths, and met Gods eyes.
 And in that gaze grown calm; As if, awed by the solemn sight she lay, Or, fallen asleep, was dreaming life away, Singing unconsciously by night and day
 reVerential psalm. Half yelled in golden light of shimmeri The landscape sketches, wonderously fair, No trace of palng beauty anywhere;
 Nature is in her prime. In richest robes the hills and woods appear, The lakes and springs lie motionless and clear, Ruled by the fairest queen of all the year
 Beautiful harvest time. The silver river, winding through the lea The singing birds on every greenwood tree, The music of the never-silent tree,
 The deep and silent wood, Are never-changing witnesses that He Who made all these fair things so graciously Is mighty in His love, and prayerfully
 Whisper, "God is good"

Indian Summer.

The rains that have fallen, so joyous in their gloom to some and so desolate to others: the grayer tone of the skies, the sere leaves, denuded trees, dried grass, and whistling winds are the gate way through which the glory of the American year~its Indian summer-is entered. In spite of the mathematical calculations of the almanac men Indian summer is Q moveable feast. It comes with the frost and before the snow. It comes when the cornfelds are all harvested, and while the boys are gather ing the latest glories of the orchard; when Maud with Marion are searching
 the last flowers and the most brilliant leaves among all with which the Ameri- can fall decorates American forests be- fore they are surrendered to winter. It comes when the furnaces are lighted in town and plains laid before the indoor enjoyments of coming months.
 Other countries have their seasonable superiorities. Nothing can be finer than the lush greenery of perfect summer day in England; when all is repose and the atmosphere and the scenery seem freighted with wealth. The sudden burst of spring, garnished with flowers and all but developed to summer at It's very birth in Italy, is fine. A winter day in Holland has been gloriGed by both painter and poet But Indian summer is more bravely and gorgeously appareled here than they all; is decorat- ed with colors they never know; lets glimpses of sunlight make burning avenues that seem unreal on canvas; has the squirrel and partridge and duck and deer to tempt the hunters skill and enliven the artists landscape. And the reality is as attractive as the picture. For then out door work is done for the year, and crowded barns and bursting granaries; repopulated stables and refill ed tool. houses; the glow of evening win dows and the reunion of separated fami- lies show that home and social life are reborn. We are on the edge of this sea- son, and it is as fugitive as it is charm ing. g.-Erckange.

Novelties fer Cold Weather.

While there is no very marked change in the shapes of the hats and bonnets, different effect somewhat is given by their being worn very much further back on the head. A New York lady's journal say that the dressing of the front hair is now allowed to be perfectly seen. With the strings tied under the chin, the present head-dress becomes bonnet; when tied behind, it becomes hat.
 Gloves with three or four buttons are the most fashionable for street wear. For the evening, with short or flowing sleeves, from six to twelve buttons are worn. For the street, black, wood, and all neutral tints are in vogue. For the evening, according to the color of the dress, flesh. color, pearl, lilac, lavender, pale primrose and white-the last is the style for weddings.
 The toes of shoes approach the point ed shape; the heels are much broader for walking shoes, and not so tall For full dress. Louis XV. heels continue to be popular.
 Frills of lace, muslin, &c., are still worn in the necks of dresses, as varia- tions to tbe linen collar. In ties there is nothing new. Those of silk serge, in all the late colors, are the most appro- priate and popular.
 The Dolman is likely to be the favorite wrap; while sacques-plain, half-fitting and close fitting-and talmas, with the single or double cape, will still find favor.
 As the reason advances furs, for trim ming, will increase in popularity. It is almost too early yet to decide upon one fur over another. The staple furs are we'll understood. We predict furore to some extent for lynx. We have seen some very beautiful specimens, and they cannot fail to gain universal favor.
 The fur-lined circular, usually made of heavy black silk-for a season or two so popular in Paris-will meet with great appreciation in this country this season.
 During the last week there has been an importation of silk robes with fringed founces, in prune-color, bronze and myrtle-green They are not intended to be made with overskirt. There are twenty yards to each pattern of satin striped and fringed widths which are de- signed for founcing the back of the skirt, the front to the knees, and trim ming the waist and sleeves. Price $100.

INVENTION BY FEMALE. Kate Barton, a young lady of Philadelphia, who has a penchant for practical mechan- ics, has invented an improvement on sewing machines which will adopt them to the manufacture of sails and other heavy goods, something heretofore i'm possible. It consists in the main of an arrangement by which piece of canvess or other cloth to be sewed is tightly stretched at uniform height from floor or table, on which runs by means of tracks (to which the motive power is applie6 the peculiar form of machine which does the stitching. This machine has two needles, which make paralled seams, and there is connected with it a contrivance called creaser, for uniting and pressing together the two edges of the cloth. The whole is quite simple in it's operation, and. those better acquaint- ed with such matters say it is just the machine which has so long been wanteda

DISEASED LUNGS ARE GREATLY ON AN INCREASE IN THIS CoUNTRY.-The sud- den changing of weather has done much to give rise to consumption. But there are thousands of cases who bring it on by their own imprudence-such as wear ing damp clothing, and going from warm rooms into the cold air, and checking the precipitation, which causes irritation of the Lungs, and then matter or phlegm will collect, which nature will try to re- lieve by coughing it up. If nature will not raise the matter with ease, and stop this inflammation, Consumption will soon follow. Aliens Lung Balsam will cure and prevent thousands of cases of Consumption if it is only taken in time It is sold by all druggists and medicine dealers.-COm.

COndenSing Milk.

Various methods have been tried from time to time for condensing milk. The one adopted by Provost of Orange Co.,, few years ago, was to evaporate the milk in pan which was set over water on a furnace. The bottom of the evapo- rating pan was corrugated. Immediately over the pan there was 8 chimney-like ventilator rising above the building, and in which were placed the revolving fans for expelling the vapor as it rises from the milk. The fans are driven by power supplied from the engine, and thus they carry off the water, forcing it through the ventilator out of the building, as fast as it is formed into vapor. The leading features in the treatment of milk under this process are briefly as follows: The milk as it comes to the factory is carefully examined, and if all right, it is received and weighed. The cans are then placed upon car which runs on rails to the cooling vat. Here the milk is drawn into long tin pails, 8 inches in diameter and IS inches long, holding twenty quarts each. About IS quarts are put in each pail, which is then placed in the vat containing cold spring water.
 After the milk has been cooled to 600 the pails are immediately plunged into the water of the heating vat, which has temperature of from 1855 to 1859 Fahr. The best refined white sugar is then added at the rate of four pounds for each pail. The pails are kept in the vat of heated water about thirty minutes,
 when the milk is drawn into the large condensing pan previously referred to-. The temperature of the milk while evap- oration is going on in the pan is uni form at 160o Fahr. Under this process it takes about seven hours to condense the milk, seventy-6ve per cent. of it's original bulk in water being driven of.

The Culture of the Hair.-Just as surely as 6 noil infested with Canadian missiles can be m ade to produce fine crops of golden grain, the scalp now sparsely covered with harsh dry unmanageable hair can be made prolific ot silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect the change in either case is the right kind of fertilizer.

The quantity of cheese exported from New York alone, last week, amounted to 1,79s,677 pounds, of which 1, 147, ,594 pounds went to Liver pool. The consumption of cheese in Europe is enormous. Paris consumes about 100000 pounds, and all France not less than 200, ,00O,0 ,0Oo pounds annually Most of the American cheese sent abroad is of the factory make, and of quality equal to the best English.
