Human nature has no essence
more pure, the world knows moth
ing more chaste, Heaven has en-
dowed the human heart with no
feeling more holy than the nascent
affections Of young virgins soul.
The warmest language Of the sunny
South is too cold to shadow forth
even faint outline Of that enthusiast.
| ic sentiment. And Providence has
made the richest language poor in
the same respect, because the
depths of hearts that thrill with
loves emotion are too sacred for
common contemplation. The mus
icaI voice Of love siirs the source Of
the sweetest thought within the hu.
man breast, and steals into the most
profound recesses Of the soul, touch
ing chords which never vibrated be-
fore and calling into gentle compan
ionship, delicious hopes till then un-
known. Yes, the light ofa young
maiden's first love breaks dimly but
beautifully upon her as the silver
lustre Of q star glimmers through the
thickly-woven bower, and the first
blush that mantles her cheek O. she
feels the primevaI influence, is faint
and pure as that which a rose leaf
might cast upon marble. But how
rapidly does the light grow stronger,
and the flush deeper--until the pow
erful effnlgence Of this one irradiates
every corner Of her heart, and the
crimson glow Of the, other sufuses
every feature Of the countenance.

This thing that you have eoldly dane
Seems but trihe In your eyes,
Aud maybe, ifyou knew my pain,
They would out greater with surprise.
As one who, brushing from rose
Some small brown creature, nestsd there

OF her who shall Its sweetness wear
Recks little of the sudden pana
Ofthe poor tenant dispossessed,
Thrust from the pale pink palace where
Its inslgniticance was blesi.
SO you from out my life have swept
One frail illusion fiower-sweet
II am poorer for the loss,
You shall not know 1t when We meet!

THE PROFIT IN COTTON YARNS,

The Columbus Sun states that the
present has been most propitious
season for the manufacture of yarns.
A pound of cotton for which eigh.
teen cents were paid, costs, when
worked into yarns, including labor,
twenty-five cents, while the yarns
have averaged thirty-fiye cents.
After paying taxes and insurance
the manufacturer realizes a profit Of
forty per cent, or in that neighbor-
hood. Such statements, coming
from a trusworthy source, should
have the effect to stimulate the
rection of cotton manufactures.

THE LOST ARTS.

The monuments, the paintings,
and even the woven fabrics of Egypt,
ell attest the enduring nature Of their
workmanship and their capability
Of resisting the coroding and vast
ing effects Of time. The pyramids
appear but little the worse for the
storms Of ages, and the traveller re-
CARDS them with the awe and rever-
ence inspired by the mystery Of
their continued existence unframed
after the lapse of almost four thous-
and years.
Mementoes of our own Republic,
not YET one hundred years old, may
be seen in the patent Office at Wash
ington in a condition of hopeless de-
cay, while the mumy cloths Of
Egypt. although woven over three
thousand years ago, aeem as firm Of
texture as when fresh from the an.
cient looms. The far.famed purple
dye Of Carthage, supposed to have
been obtained from a small shell fist
of the Mediterranean, has never
been equalled by modern chemists
who have thus far failed to find any.
thing possessing it's peculiar brillian-
cy and permanency Of color.
The frescos Of Michael Angelo are
the wonder and admiration of every
appreciative person who has looked
at them on the lofty ceilings Of the
Sistine chapel at Rome but COM
pared with the mural paintings Of
Egypt, traced centuries before, they
look dim and almost lustreless. =
The mural paintings arc as bright
as the Nile itself, and still appear
likely to claim the admiration of
visitors for thousands Of years to
come. The colors of the ancients
when exposed for years to moisture,
do not lose their brightness, while
their woven fabrics, long buried in
the ground, resist decay, and even
timber, preserved by some unknown
process, defes the action Of the ele-
ments, and remains nearly as sound
as in the time Of the Pharaphs. II
is said that numerous experiments
have been tried, Of subjecting the
ancient paintings TO the fame Of q
gas JET, but the heat thus impaired
failed to destroy them. Egyptian
cement, as is well known, il almost
imperishable, uniting wood, glass,
stone, iron and other articles togeth-
or so firmly Is to resist all efforts 70
sever them at the point Of union
Fire and water will not destroy this
cement, and it Is practically inde-
ssructible. This substance 10 sup>
posed to have been used in embalm-
ing their dead, preserving their
works of art, and making their
fountains durable.
Even in our own country have
been found implements evidently
made by an ancient but now extinct
race, the manufacture Of which may
be properly cIassed among the lost
arts. In the copper mines Of Lake
Superior, in old pits long since aban-
doned, are found copper, tools with
a temper and hardness not exceled,
if equaled, BY the best steel tools Of
the present day. Chisels and ham.
mers Of copper, huge granite ham
mers, specimens Of wood, indestruc-
.;blo pipes, and other articles are
found here and elsewhere, denoting
the superiority Of this ancient peo-
pie in many of the arts, and also
affording abundant evidence that
they were highly proficient In the
working Of metals.
