POETRY.
A ChiId's Thought of God.

They say that God lives very hight
But If you look above The pines
You cannot see our GJd. And why5
And II YOU dig down in The mines,
You never sec Inn Do the gold
Though from him ali that's glory shines.
God is so good, be wears a fold
or heaven and earth across his face
Like secrets kept, for love untold.
But still feel that his eInb race
Slides dow Iv thrills. through all things made,
Through sight and sound Of every place:
As if my tender mother laid
On my shut lids her kisses pressure,
Hail waking me at night, and said
Who kissed you through the daIk, dear suesscr ?

Rural Beauties and Cltv Relies.

Rural Beauties and City Bellies
Country girls are not whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in tho natural Gle
ments Of loveliness, but it must be conce-
ded that the city bellies best understand
the art OF preserving and heightenlng
their personal---very.. The most perfect
features lose hall their attraction unless
tho complexion is properly cared for, and
il the pretty girls Of the rural districts
wish to compete with the "Fairstars" oil
the fashionable world in refined attrac-
tons, they must pay due attention to this
important point. They ought to know,
Tor the fact is notorious, that HAoAN's
MAGNOLIA BALM imparts to tho skin o
delicate, pearly appearance, unproduce-
able by any other preparation under the
sun. No matter how the cuticle NAV have
been roughened by exposure or discolored
by the sun, the Balm will render 1t soft
and pllable, and removes every blemish.

GROWTH OF AMERICAN MAHuFAC.
TuREs.-During the interval from 1860 to
1870 American manufactures advanced
with unprecedented rspidity In import.
ance aud productiveness. In round fig.
ures the number OF establishments, num-.
Der OF hands employed, cost Of labor,
cost OF raw materials, aggregate value of
products, and capital invested, was
doublcd-some Of tho items named be-
Ing a little less and some a little more than
twice rs large In 1870 as they were In 1860.
The aggregate in 1870, as reported in the
census returns arc as follows: Number Of
establishments, 252, 14s; number Of hands
employed 2,053,0S9; annual cost Of
labor, 1915 ,62l ,5O3; cost of raw material,
81 4sS.201 ,052; capital invested, $9,l1s,-
241,OO0; value Of manufactured products,
$4,e32, 025,S02. Tho American Union Is
evidently becoming moro and moro O! q
manufacturing nation; and while varied
opportunities for the successful prosecu.
tion of agriculture, commerce and min.
Ing arc constantly presented, mauufact.
ures are absorbing a large proportion Of
the capital, enterprise and industry Of the
country.-IhilGdelphid Record.

A PUBLIC'sPERITED New York boy,
who is evidently destined, il he lives, to
become Mr. Bergh's successor has the fol.
lowing TO say on subject about which
everybody is at present talking:
The horse is q useful animal. He has
four legs, but they oughten TO DO no good
when he's got the epizoozy. Some wick.
ed mems drives him enpyiow, and makes
him koif enuf to koff hissell away. If |
had a klub and was big cnuf l would go
about and mock these wicked men in their
head. This is too bad. Where will such
mems die when they so to? We can get
along without them, but horses is a useful
animal and harder to get and to keep
alive. wish these wicked mems had the
epizoozy instead of the horses.

THE Maryland Supreme Court has lust
decided an important question affecting
the religious belief Of witnesses. The case
In point was an action for debt, where
tho defense makes the objection Of incom.
potency to witness because Of his want
Of religious belief. The objection was
founded on the old common law rule as
well as q provision in the State Constitu.
ton, providing that belief in the exist.
ence OF q God with system OF future re.
wards and punishment, were tho only
requisites. 1t was shown by direct testi-
mOny to impeach the witness, that so far
as could be gathered from his expressions,
he came within both these Limitations. In
rebuttal 1t was shown that the witness did
not believe IN personal God, but only in
a supreme spirit pervading nature. The
Court held TINT belief in o personal God
was not necessary, and that the witness
BY acknowledging merely tac existence of
a Supreme Being or power, established his
competency to testify.

STATE BoNDs-Dull and barley active.
SToCKs-The market has been quieter
today. The speculation in Pacific Mail
continues feverish and induces caution on
the part Of many lenders and dealers in
other stocks; the price advanced early in
tho day from 099 to OCT, but speedily re-
acted to %, finally recovering to 043.
Lake Shore and Northwestern common,
were otherwise tho chief features Of the
market. The former was active and 70.
covered the decline of yesterday North.
western advanced to s2t. The rest Of the
list advanced on an average of per cent
in tho early part Of the day, but during
the second call reaction set in and the
advance lost. Thereafter the market was
rather firmcr but lacking in animation,
and closed steady. Erie advanced II per
cent during the day. 1t is crcdibly slated
that Commodore Vanderbilt has decided
to raise money Tor the new double track
on the New York Central s. Hudson
River railroad. The amount Of tho pro.
SpeCtive mortgage is said TO be $35,0O0,.
900, oil which some $15,00O,0OO arc for
tho redemption OF the existing bonds not
secured by mortgage.

Q patient in the Hospital, where every
facility Is provided for curing. For every
100 insane who are kept In jails VIC pay
$33,5O0 more than II they were kept In
the Hospital. II for no other reason, the
true economy Of the State demands that
the building should DO pushed on to COM
plCtIon. The savings In keeping alone
will in every three years finish section
OF the building, putting down each section
to cost 100000.
:, There are from $50 to.375 insane in the
State. Placing the population Of the
State ut 10000, aud for every l loo per.
sons ] insane, We should have 400 insane
In the State. Massachusetts has / In 400,
and other States from to 500 to / In 1000.
80 we can congratulate ourselves that we
are not as crazy as other folks.
