In the days that were full OF sunlight
The days that are no more.
I dreamed OF . golden Summer.

There came fragrance OF roses,
And lilacs, and mignonette.
And sound OF sylvan music,
And the eyes that aro with me yer.
A hood Of purple sunset

TIL the deep old forests kindled
And burned like fluid OF flame.
There came giriish figure.
With billows OF floating hair.
And shs bent her face above me
An angel over my chair.
I saw Il all In Q moment,
While I held the crumpled sheet;
And then, a. the vision faded,

Activity Of the Wind inslesp.

Undoubted proof had been afforded
that the ensrgy of the intellect is often
greater duripgsleep than at other times
and many apf6blem, it is asserted, has
been solved in sleep which has puzzled
the waking senses. Cabanis tells us
that Franklin on several occasions men
toned to him that he had been assisted
in dreams in the conduct of many af-
fairs in which he was engaged. Con
dlllac states that while writing his
course Of studies he was frequently
obliged to leave chapter incomplete,
and retired to bed, and that on.waking

IN like manner Condoroet would
sometimes leave his complicated calcula-
lions unfinished, and, after resni.Sn
rest, would find their resp
to him In his dreams. La Il
Voltaire both composed verses c1ll(
sleep, which they would repeat on wa
kening. DR.. johnson relates that he
once, In dream, had contest of wit
with another person, and that he was
very much mortified by imagining that
bis antagonist had the better of him.
Coleridge in dream composed the
wild and beautiful poem Of s.Kubla
Khan" which had been suggested to
him by passage he had read in "Pur-
ehas's Pilgrimage" before he fell asleep.
On awaking he had distinct recollec-
ton OF between two and three hundred
lines, and taking writing materials, be-
gan early to set them down. Unfortu-
nately he was interrupted before a quar-
ter OF the task was done-was. called
away to attend to some business which
detained him an hour-and found when
he had returned to his writing that the
remainder had vanished from his MEM
ory The most remarkable testimony
OF this kind is perhaps that of Sir Thorn
as Browne, who declared that if it were
possible, he would prefer to carry on his
studies IN his dreams, so much more eff.
tlcient were his faculties of mind when
his body was asleep. He further adds,
that were his memory as faithful as his
reason was then fruitful, he would pre-
fer that season for his devotion.

Tho Women q the South.

Upon recent occasion in
ton, Judge Embry, intreiucii
from Mississippi to an aas
ladies and gentlemen, paid the follow
ing handsome tribute to the women of
the South. He said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: Twenty
years ago all the Southern States were
represented at this Capital by many of
the loveliest and most accomplished
ladies ofAmerica. They were indeed the
queen Of American society in the
highest intellectual, and III, more than
princely bearing or oriental beauty.
But war, with the deyastations that
follows in its train, has, for more than
decade, swept with relentless fury over.
all the fair and fruitful fields of the
South. 1t has desolated countless
homes, cmbed many noble ambitions,
crushed many bright hopes and antici-
pations, reduced to poverty and want
thousands reared in aAiuence and
wealth, and has hung the symbols Of
mourning throughout all that sunny
land. This win not last always. Such
a land, with such soil and climate,
and, above all, such race of people
were not destined by God and nature
to utter ruin. The South will rise
again. Her stricken and wasted fields
win ripen again with their golden
harvests, and her gardens will send the
fragrance Of their flowers over all the
land. She will rise from her sorrow
aud humiliation, from her poverty and
her ashes, because her very ashes will
! enrich her.

The Way to Paint an Old Wagon.

THE first operation will be to wash
every part of the vehicle thoroughly
clean, as paint will not adhere satisfac-
tOrily to any surface that is covered with
only a thin coat of foreign matter that
water will dissolve If there are any
large or even small cracks in the hubs, or
in any other part of the woodwork, let
all the halfdecayed wood and mud be re-
moved, and let the soft places be scraped
thoroughly until hard surface is laid
bare. Let the vehicle then be taken into
some clean building where no dust will
settle in the paint If one has no better
place than the open air, take the wagon
to clean lawn and let it stand on two
planks few inches from the ground.
But when painting is done in the open
air, exposed to the full heat of the sun,
the paint will frequently be filled with
numerous blisters, which seldom occurs
in the shade
For filling the small cracks, prepare a
sort of "mud-filling" by putting, say halt
a gill Of good boiled oil into dish, with
about the same quantity of lacquer, into
which stir white or red lead until the
mass has become Of the consistence of

joints be filled with'this material, which

work this filling into cracks with his
fingers with more facility than with some
instrument. Such cracks are frequently
filled with melted resin, or resin mingled
with linseed OIL but the grand objection
to such material is want Of proper solid

little or no strength is required; but for
the purpose alluded to, resin and oil will
be worthless, except for filing the cracks

would not know the difference between

As soon as the surface is scraped and
sand-papered, a coat of paint may be
applied. In order to perform such job
in thorough manner, paint of superior
quality must be prepared. Spirits OF
turpentine and benzole, which may be
used for making certain kinds of paint,
should not be employed when one desires
to prepare a strong and durable paint for

apt to marry, and marriage tends directly
to longevity.
Scientific men, as they are called, are
prone to long life, astronomers in particu-
lar Out of eighty-five of these students,
less than one-quarter died under sixty
years of age. There is notion that
'more distinguished" men live somewhat
shorter lives than the less distinguished of
the same profession. To a certain extent
figures corroborate this idea, but it is
greatly because few of the most distin-
guished die quite early, and so reduce the
average somewhat. Many of the most
prominent men ofall professions have lived
to bevery old. Literary men shorten their
lives by lack of exercise, and a general
failure to attend to the laws of health
Artists are very apt to live long time.
A dictionary of twelve hundred artists

hundred who lived beyond fifty-nine

Soldiers and sailors have hard lives; ten
soldiers die Of disease where one dies in
battle, and the annual death-rate in our
army is about one in thirty eight soldiers,
and one in forty-two officers. Soldiers in
battle are in danger of being hit just in
proportion to the space they occupy, large
men being much more susceptible to bull
lets than little ones. Sailors, it is said

after they begin to go to sea. Their work
is very dangerous and arduous Trades

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.-1f a
railroad director were dashed to every locomo-
tive, there would be fewer railroad accidents,
and if doctors had to take their own physic
before administering it to their patients, fewer
people would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he first
compounded the famous Vinegar Bitters which
now rank as an inestimable household remedy
in all parts of the United States He
healed himself with this specific before he
offered it to the world. He introduce
ed it with simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable ingredi-
ents and been cured, while wandering, sick
and poor among the California tribes. He
stated what the preparation had done for him
self, and few sufferers from dyspepsia, bill
iousness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, believed him,
tried the new restorative, and were more than
satisfied with the results. In this way the
sale of the Vinegar Bitters began, and we men
ton the fact as an evidence that in this age of
intelligence and inquiry nothing that is really
valuable TO mankind can prove a pecuniary
failure-even though it lack the help of CAPT
tai, and have to fight its way against powerful
opposing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the article be-
came self-supporting, and ii now yields mag

Eggs by the Pound.

THERE seems to be no good reason why
eggs should not be sold by the pound, The
same as other animals products; we are,
therefore, not surprised TO learn that the
matter has been brought to the attention
of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and it
has been enacted that eggs shall be sold
in that State, hereafter, by the pound. 1t
is alleged by the parties interested that
there has been within the last few wears
an increase in the proportion of small
eggs produced and imported into the
State; and considering that the present
size did not fairly represent dozen, they
sought legislative protection. AT time
when eggs were worth but eight or ten
cents a dozen, it made little difference
whether dozen eggs weighed pound or
a pound and half, and as selling by
count was the most convenient, it was
most readily adopted; but at the present
time, when, in the city markets, eggs
range in price from thirty to sixty cents a
dozen, even going to dollar, occasionally,
it is of some Importance to those of
moderate means who are compelled to
purchase at all times that they do not
lose twenty per cent. in weight by having
small eggs doled out to them 1t is mat
ter of surprise that eggs should still be
sold by count, while potatoes, apples, and,
in fact, many articles less valuable and
just as easily counted, are sold by weight
Aside from rendering justice to both pro-
ducer and consumer, it will have the
effect of increasing the production Of this
healthful and nutritious article of diet,
encouraging the rearing of those breeds
of fowls which really lay the greatest
weight of eggs, both by their great num-
Der and large size-National Lire Stock
