he Wood Robin.
BY JAMES C. CLARb

The wood-rohin commonly called brown
thrush or "thrasher'D is pronounced by Audu-
bon 'ihe sweetest singer among American
birds"
How calmly the lingering light
Beams back over woodland and main,
A. an infant, ere closing its eyelid> at night,
Looks back on Its mother again.
The wood-rohn sings at my door,
And her song i the sweetest ] hear
From all the sweet birds that necessarily pour
lhej' notes through noon of the year.
Twas thus in my bovhool tune
nat season of emerald and gold
Ere the storms and the shadows that fall on our
prime
Had told me that pleasures grow old.
| loved in the warm summer ewes
TO recline on the welcoming sod,
BY the broad spreading temple of twilight and
leaves
Where the wood-robin worshipped her God.
| knew not that life could endure
The burden it beareth to-day:
And felt that my soul was as happy and uure
As the tone OF the wood-robin'S Law
O! beautiful. beautiful youth.
With its visions of hope and of love:
How cruel Is life Ia reveal us the truth
That peace only liveth above.
The wood-robn trlls tie same tune
FROM her thicket in garden and glen.
Aud the landscape ana sky and the twilight of
jun
Look lovely ani glowing as then
But | think of the glores Il At fell
- IN the harvest of sorrow and tears.
III the song of the forest bird sounds like a
knel,
folng back through the valley of years.

a lady in Binghamton poured some hot
water IN every pair of boots belonging to
her husband while he was dressip o to call
on "a iriend' in another part of the city.
She told him that ''friend" business was

hot water Just so long as he kept on with
that kind of colporteuring.

The ingenuity OF a woman is beyond all
earthly comprehension. A Danbury lady,
becoming tired OF bothering with wood,
besonght her husband to get coal stove,
and devote the rcst OF their life to that
fuel, but he wouldn't do it. He said
wood was cheaper, and he might as well
be chopping it and saving the money.
Having exhausted her eloquence without
any effect, she hit upon Il very simple de-
vice. She extended her clothes line over
his choppinS block. After supper he
adorned himself with his axe and went out
tor fuel, and five minutes later came tear
ing into the house without his hat and
with his mouth half full of blood, lacerat.

body with the tip of his finger, he would
never find out whether it were hot or cold

arrived at headquarters, which would re-
quire one hundred years.

A Horrible Murder.

SCRANTON, Sept 27.-The bodies of
Mrs. O'Marra, aged 65, aud her daughter,
aged 80, were found near Montrose Sta
ton, Delaware Lackawanna and Western
railroad, this morning, but not injured by
trains in any way. The coroner's jury
elected sufficient evidence to warrant the
belief that they were murdered and placed
on the track by Daniel o Maria, the old
lady's son, and his hired man, named Irv
ing. Blood was found on Irviug's clothes,
and at several points between the house
and the railroad, distance of two and
half miles Daniel O'Marra had inheri,
ted some property, on condition that he
would support his mother and sister, the
latter of whom was partially blind from
her birth. The supposition is that he
killed them to be relieved of the burden
of supporting them. He aud Irving have
both held TO answer.

The Moons Orbit.

We commonly regard the moon as a
satellite of the earth, aud we are taught
at school and in our tex books, that while
the earth travels round the moon ravels
round the earth. But in reality this is
erroneous, or at least is suggestive of er-
ror. The moon ought to be regarded as
companion planet, traversiug with the
earth around the sun. The distinction
is not at all fanciful one. The earth is
not the body whose force the moon chiefly
obeys. On the contrary, she is attracted
more than twice as strongly by the sun
If the motions Of the earth and moon
could be watched from some far distant
stand point, the observed movements
would by no means suggest the idea that
the moon was circling round the earth !;
and in fact, if the earth were concealed
from view while her satelliate was thus
watched, the moon would appear to cir
cult round the sun in an orbit which
could not be distinguished from that
which the earth herself pursues.- Corn
hill Magazine.

Porcelain.

Procelaiu differs from glass in the great
preponderaDce of silicate of alumiua iu
its composition. 1t consists mainly of
clay, which is infusible, and some alkaline
siicate, which fuses and binds the clay
together, rendering it impervious to mois-
ture. The fneness of the ware entirely
depends on the purity ofthe elays &c from
which it is made. The glaze which covers
porcelain is produced by dipping the IBIS
cult" ware into water in which is sus.
pended finely ground feldspar; the porgus
mass absorbs the moisture, leaving the
surface covered uniformly with the field
spar. 1t is then exposed in seggars to a
very high temperature, by which the
feldspar is melted aud the glaze produced.
Stone ware and common pottery ware"
are glazed by means OF common salt. The
ware is dipped in sand water, placed in
the furnace into which has been thrown
moist salt. The heat quickly converts
the salt into vapor. In the presence of
the steam the silica on the ware decom
poses the salt, forming siicate of sodium
which gIazes the article, and hydrochloric
acid which escapes = Casseirs Popular

Heavy Sentence.

The Bank of England forgers have had
their trial and sentence. 1t appears that
one OF them, George Bidwell, after the
examination of witnesses, delivered an
address to the Court, in which he exonerat
ed Austin Bidwell and Edwin Noyes from
all completely in the frauds, and declared
that he aud George Macdonnell were the
only guilty ones. Macdonnell also ad
dressed the Court, bearing out the state
ments of Bidwell. The case was then
given to the jury, who, after twenty
minutes deliberation, found all the
accused guilty. Mr.. Justice Archibald
Immediately sentenced each of the
prisoners to penal servitude for life-t the
highest punishment under the laws for
their offence.

hardly knowing what to say or do. Sew.

her, and told her she would not again
have such a favorable opportunity to

the party was breaking up, about ii

on the match, came round to the Re
