A Mystery.

The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wonnd through ITS meadows green;
Allow blue line OF mountains showed
the open pines between.
One sbaro, tall peak above them all
=, Clear into sunlight sprang,
Issw the river OF my dreams.
The mountains that sang
No clew OF memory lei me on,
But well the ways knew;
A feeling OF familiar things
With every foolstep grew.
Not other wise above It's crag
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
Alofr It's red ensign.
So M the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep;
So, green am low, the meadow 1old
Its red.haired kline asleep.
The river wound as 1t should wind;
Their place the mountains took,
The white, torn fringes OF their CLOUDS
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet meier before that rivers rim
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange st once and known,
Walked with me as my guide;
The skirts OF some forgotten life
Trailed no seless at my Side.
Was IL q dim remembered dream
Or glimpse tn ough aons old
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never told.
But from the vision ere it passed
A tender hope drew,
And, pleasant as dawn or spring,
The thought within me grew,
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprise.
And, misty with the dreams OF eartn,
The hills OF Heaven arise.

Romance IN Ashtabula.

A beautiful, brown-bared daughter
OF Sweden was the heroine of romance
having its termination IN Ashtabula re.
Gently, which throws the "novel writer's
completely into the shade. Twenty
years ago, when little fifteen year old
damsel, she was woed and fairly won by
Christian Hanquest, a bright lad twenty
years of age, in far.off Sweden. The
parents of the girl were OF higher rank
thnn the relatives of poor Christian, and

for each other, they ruthlessly store

school,, if there was such cruel insti.
tuition in Sweden. Christian bore his
hard fate at home as long MS he wat
able, when, finding all efforts TO see his
betrother truitless, he ventured upon
the ocean as common sailor. After Il
lapse OF several years, Hanquest return
ed to find his friends and relatives scat.

efforts to find his beloved, for whom he
had labored so long, caused him to care
but little AS to the manner in which it
was spent, and finally threw him once
more upon his own resources, without
money or friends, in the early part OF
year 1872. He was in an English sea
port wnen he became rid of his last
red, and shipped upon an American
vessel and worked his passage to New
York. While there, hearing stories OF
the fabulous wages which were paid
sailors upon the inland lakes, he went
to Canada and engaged himself on
schooner. Here, however, he found
that has golden dreams were naught, and
reaching Cleveland July /, he started
n foot for Buffalo, where several of his
friends from the old country were living
Hanquest spent the night of the 3d III

with some Of his countrymen who were
employed ON the railroad, he inciden

years, who resides in jamestown, N. Y.
and was spending IA few days i'll Ashta
oula, exclaimed, III the language of hei

know me?" and fell weeping on his
shoulder. The wanderer had found his
mate !; but we draw curtain over the
scene, as too hallowed for the pryinp
eyes of a reporter to penetrate. The re
united couple started on the morning OF
the 4th for jamestown, where they will
soon be joined ip the holy bonds OF
wedlock. The fair ones parents are
said to be highly respectable people,
and they will probably not now main
cain any opposition to what is evident
iy the manifest destiny of their daugh
ter, wlho for SO long period has remain
ed single. Hanquest will doubtless
settle down into sober and Industrious

Young Mechanics.

There is no class of the community
upon whom the future welfare of the
country moro essentially depends than
upon the rising generation of young
mechanics. II they are intelligent,
sober, industrious and consequently in
dependent. able and accustomed to
Judge for themselves, and governed in
their conduct by an enlightened view of
theis own best interests if they are
men of this sort, the mechanics, and es-
pecially the young mechanics, will form,
in conjunction with the young farmers
Of the country, a bulwark against mono
poles and corrupt politicians, and save
the republic. If, on the other hand
they are ignorant, idle. dissolute, and
consequently poor, and dependent upon
those who are willing to trust them-if
our mechanics should unhappily be-
come such a class-they would soon be
converted into the mere tools of a few
rich and artful men, who, having first
stripped them of every sense of self-re-
1rect, and every feeling proper to virtu
Dus citizens, would use them RS passive
instruments for promoting their own
ambitious objects, and for the enact
nent of laws which are beneficial to no.
body but the artful few and base
demagogues with whom they originate.
1t is as true of the mechanical arts as
Of nyother profession that knowledge
IS power.

Making a Present.

profitable mode of making presents
was practiced not long ago on the occa-
sion of golden wedding. Ten gentle
men, acting on the suggestion OF one OF
their number, decided to present $500
gold cup to venerable friend by way
of signalling their interest in the tiftieth
anniversary of his wedding day. Con-
tributions of $50 from each of the gen.
tlemen were promptly collected, and
the person who proposed the thing was
depntized to bu. the cup and make the
presentation, which he did to the satis-
faction of all concerned and with quite
a flourish of trumpets. The recipient
was grateful, the donors were happy,
and the affair reflected any amount Of
lustre upon all VINO had to do it. But
unfortunately for the person who pro-
posed and purchased and presented the
gift, the cup subsequently required
some little thing to be done TO it, and
was sent by its owner to New York foe
that purpose. 1t happened that the
cup was sent to the very store where it
was purchased, and, its interesting
story having gone along with it, the
discovery was made that it was only
silver gilt article and had been pur-
chased as such for $3.50. The buyer
had contributed nothing, but had pock-
eted 1920 out of the contributions of
his friends.

The Battle or the BullfrOys.

Many of the citizens of Vermont will
remember to have seen on one-dollaI
bills of the Windham County State
Bank vignette representing bullfrogs
lighting. This was engraved to com
memorate the Battle of the Bullfrogs.
The facts were as follows "Many years
igo, when the town of Windham was
newly settled, there. came very dry
season. There are two large ponds in
Windham, separated by an intervening
strip of land of considerable extent.
Each of these ponds was inhabited by n
large community of the reptiles above
named. The smaller pond dried up and
is inhabitants started in body for the
over and larger pond. They were met
in the intervening space by the com
munity from the larger pond, and a
ierce and long. continued battle ensued
between the rival communities. Such
was the hideous believing of the frogs
during their fierce encounter that it
the inhabitants. who at first
it to be the whoop of the hos
tile savages. But curiosity getting the
better of their fears, they cautiously
proceeded to the spot whence the hide
)us sound issued, and there beheld the
strange spectacle of two immense armies
IF bullfrogs, covering many acres OF
ground, engaged in fierce and deadly
battle. This battle continued more
than twenty-four hours, and when it
was over the ground was literally COW
cred with the slain, and it became neces-
sary, to avoid the noxious eiliuvia, to
gather and bury them. -Boston Tran

American Working People.

The Scientific american foots up the
whole number of working people in I'll O
United States at IL, sos, 923. The num-
her of inhabitants in the country is 3S,-
1871, SO that the active workers con-
stitute very nearly one-third of the
population, the ratio having consider
ably increased since the census of 1860,
at which time it barely exceeded one
quarter. 10,G69, 1876 are males, and
1,s36, 4S7 females. Between the ages
of ten and fifteen years the males out
number the females in n ratio of nearly
three to one between sixteen and fifty
nine years the ratio increases to nearly
six to one while at the ages above
sixty years there are more than twelve
times as many men at work as there are
women. These figures apply to the
men aud women in actual outside en-
ployment. 1t will be noticed as the
women grow older, their Numbers in
proportion to the men decrease. This
is accounted for by their marrying,
their employmepts, and
settling down TO the household.

HOnOrS 10 a Shah.

A newspaper in London is very saw
age about the honors paid to the Shah
and declares that only monkey in the
Geological Gardens has exhibited q
vestige of manliness and independence.
When the Shah attempted to poke this
animal with stick, the indignant crea-
ture seized it, and grinned defian.ly at
the majesty of Persia. "And this, .
philosophers our newspaper, "shows
how superior monkeys are to Mayors.
Had the Shah kicked one of the latter,

have envied him the distinction, and
regretted that their person had not
been honored by a similar infiction."

A Wicked Weapon.

A man was hanged the other day at
San Francisco, for murder with n
weapon OF a peculiarly dangerous and
for long time mysterious nature. This
is sand club, formed by filling an eel
skin with sand. When this instrument
was first brought into Use the authori-
ties were greatly puzzled by deaths, ap-
parently from violence, yet no marks
could be found on the outside of the
body. A burglar was finally captured
with sand club in his possession made
out of an eel skin stuffed with sand
Being closely questioned, he explained
it's use. When the victim is struck, for
instance, on the head he drops insensi-
BILE and soon dies from congestion of
the brain. Often the skull suffers no
injury from the stroke, and if the per-
son struck recovers sensibiity he grad
ually relapses into n condition of id
iocy Sometimes man struck in the
body will be knocked down by the
force of the blow and feel no immediate
results from it. In n few weeks, how
ever, the flesh will begin to mortify
under the line of the blow and rot down
to the bone. Heller, the celebrated
pianist, is supposed to have met his
death in Mexico from a stroke of this
diabolical weapon.
