A professional hunter, named Reps,
was out hunting this week on Martins
Island, down the Columbia. The hun
ter was accompanied by young hound
only, which started some animal little
distance away in the dense brush. Reps
ran from the thick timber in which he
was standing, toward the edge OF the
water. A clear space of several rods di-
vided the brush and the river margin.
On reaching the bank, Reps halted and
placed himself in an attitude of defense.
In few minutes, the hound emerged
from the timber and came running tow.

we're intrusted with the secret, but after
due delberation they became sufficient
reconciled to the fact to consent to Mr..
Greeley's removal to DIR. Choate's resi-
dence, near Pleasantville, Westchester
county. The house is pleasantly situat-
ed a mile and half from the town, on
a hill half mile from a road or the
nearest house. Il is comfortably situat-
ed, has handsome grounds surrounding
it, and though known to the neighbors
as a private lunatic asylum, it has the
appearance of the country seat of some
wealthy gentleman. There Mr.. Greeley
was conveyed last week Thursday.

When he was brought down stairs in
Mr.. Johnson's house, in front of which
John r. Stewart was waiting with close
carriage, Mr.. Johnson handed him his
traditional hat and coat.

he, as the tears flowed down his deathly
pale cheeks. "Don't let me go! Don't

The scene was too affecting for those
who witnessed it, and all shed tears. Mr.
johnson dropped the hat and coat, toe
much affected to say word. He never
expected to see his old friend again.
1t was deemed best that Mr. Greeley
should remain over night at the resi-
dence of John r. Stuart in TarrytowD
Mr.. Stuart was an old friend, and it may
be remembered that it was at his house
that one of the first receptions rendered
to Mr.. Greeley after his nomination wa
given. He was restless all night, and /
strict watch was kept upon his move

Holy HumOr.

The Rev. G. B. Wilcox, writing in
the Independent, begins a dissertation on
the Wit and Humor of the Bible"
thus:
Shocking " many good old saint
will cry, at the very thought of it.
The Bible jest book? What goddess
folly shall we have up next?r No, the
Bible is no. jest book. But there is
within it wit OF the first quality and
good reason why it should be there.
Take few specimens. :
Job, in his thirtieth chapter, is tell
ing how he scorned the low.lived fell
lows who pretend to look down on him
in his adversities. They are fools. They
belonged to the long-eared fraternity.
Anybody, with less wit, might come
out bluntly and call them asses. But
Job puts it more deity Xxx, y:
9 Among the bushes they Brayed; under
tie nettles they were gathered togeth-
e." If that is not wit, there is no such
thing as wit. And yet the commenta-
tors don't see it, or won't see it. They
are perfectly wooden when they come
to any such gleam of humor.
Take another instance-Ehiahs ridi-
cule of the Prophets of BaaI. They
are clslnoring to their God to help them
out of a very awkard predicament. And,
while they are at it, the prophet shows
them up in a way that must have made
the people roar with laughter. The
stiff, antiquated style of our English
Bible tames down his sallies. Take
them in modern phrase. These ouack
prophets have worked themselves into
perfect desperation, and are capering
about on the altar as if they had the
st. Vitus' dance. The scene Il. Kings,
xviii, &c, 27) wakes up all Eliiah's sense
of the ridiculous. "Snout louder He
is god you know. Make him hear!
Perhaps he is chatting with somebody,
or he is off on hunt, or gone travelling.
Or may be he is taking a nap. Shout
away Wake him up u Imagine the
priests going through their antics on
the altar, while Elijah bombards them
in this style, at his leasure. If Mr..
Beecher ever said anything that con-
vulsed his audience more thoroughly
than the prophet must have done the
Jews around him, should like to hear
it.
Paul shows dry humor more than
once, as in III. Cor, xii, Is: Why
haven't you Jared as well as the other
churches Ali there is one grievance
that you haven't had me to supportg
Pray do not lay it up against me II
These instances might be multiplied
from the Old and New Testament both.
What do they show That the Bible is,
on the whole, humorous book? Far
from it. That religion is humorous
subject, that we are to throw all the wit
we can into the treatment of it No.
But they show that the sense of the
ludicrous is put into man by his ma
ker; that it has its uses; and that we~
are not to be ashamed of it, or to roll
up our eyes in holy horror of it. cEI ~

Haunted me as the worst of ills, but

the children and guard them against
sowing the seeds of disease in their
youth. l plead with you to speak to

Forgive me as ye would be forgiven.

have seen nothing but sorrow and suf-
ferlng, by reason of my sickness, since
our marriage. Now that we are sepa.

you have endured. I hope you may be

Material for PAPER,

The German manufacturers nave been
very successful in the production OF
paper and cloth from corn husks, the
machinery required for the manipulate
ing process being essentially the same
as that originally employed in American
paper mills working on rags.
The husks, it appears, are first boiled
with an alkali in tubular boilers, as a
result of which the fibers of the husks
are found at the bottom of the boiler in
spongy condition, filed with a glutin-
Gus substance or dough, which latter is
pressed out from the fibers by hydraulic
presses, leaving the fiber in the shape
of longitudinal threads, interspersed
with dense mass of short fiber.
Linen that is made from these long
fibers is said TO furnish very good sub.
stitute for the coarser kinds of flax and
hemp, while it is superior to jute, gunny
cloth, and the like. The paper. for
which mostly the short fibers are used
the long fibers constituting the mate
rial for spinning-is stronger than
papers of the same weight made from
linen or cotton rags.
The hardness and frmness of grain
characterizing the paper thus made are
said to even exceed that of the best
made English papers. Its durability
exceeds that OF paper produced from
any other substance, and it can be made
extremely transparent without sacrific-
ing any portion of its strength. The
fiber is easily worked, either alone or
mixed with rags, into the finest writing
or printing papers, and it readily takes
any tint or color that may be desired.
The yield of the husks employed for
the purpose is said to be as follows
Thirty per cent. of fiber, ten O. glutin,
and sixty of dough.

And the winds that wildly blow;
And thd the bird-songs in the greenwood tree.
The poet loves. know.
For me- I love the song to hear
Of the lark at early morn;
But the sweetest song to the farmers ear
Is the song of the Dinner Horn!
A battle march for the soldier free
Or the call of the trumpet clear;
And the rapid tramp of cavalry
The soldier loves to hear
But sweet to the farmer. wearied soul
While he plows the rusting corn,
Is the sound that comes in the noontide lull-
lis the song of the Dinner Horn
o. the cavalier loves at twilight's hour
To hear his beloved sing;
And the lady loves as she sits in her bower,
Tie sound of the sweet harp's string.
