The Loss Of a Wife.

What other can compare with it. the
lispins infant, the prattling child, is Civ
en- up with pang. 1t seems as if earth
could have no sorrow so great, but in
comparison with the loss of wife, all
other bereaVements are as nothing. The
following beautiful thoughts we find in
an excbange:
The wife! she who fills so large o
space in the domestic heaven, she who
is so busted, so unwcaried bitter is the
tear that falls On her clay. You stand
beside her grave and think of the past !;
it seems all. amber colored pathway,
where the sun shone upon flowers, OF
the stars hung s:tlering overhead. Fain
would the soul linger there. No thorns
are remembered above that sweet clay,
save those your own hand may have un-
willingly planted. Her noble, tender
heart lies open to your inmost sight
You think Of her as all gentleness, all
beauty and purity. But she is dead.
The dear head that so often laid upon
your bosom, now rests upon pillow of
clay. The hands that rniniStered so un.
tiringly are folded, white and cold, be-
meath the gloomy portals. The heart
whose every beat measured an eternity
Of love, lies under your feet And there
is no ~hite arm over your shoulder now;
no speaking face TO look up in the eye Of
love; no trembling lips to murmur, "Oh,
it is so sad" There is so strange hush
in every room! No smile to greet you
at nigh,fall And the clock ticks and
strikes and ticks lit was sweet music
| when she could hear it. Now it seems
to kncll only the hours through which
you watched the shadows of death ga
theIing upon her sweet face. But many
tale it telleth OF joys past, sorrows
shared, and beautiful words and deeds
registered above. You feel that the
grave cannot keep her. You know that
She is in a happier world, but feel that
she is often by your side, an angel pres.
cnce. Cherish these emotions; they
will make you happier Let her holy
presence be as charm to keep you from
evil. In all new and pleasant connec-
tionS, give her place in your heart
Never forget what she has been to you
that she has loved you. Be tender to her
memory.

THE NEW ERA will be conducted on the
following civil aud political maxi1ns rs vital to
the interests Of the State. and will labor earnest
ly, in accordance Herewith. to adjust the people
to their new circumstances:
lst. I'm passing successfully through any crisis,
the people must possess elasticity enough to adapt
themselves to new conditions. Nothing seals the
fate of nation sooner tbs he stubborn adher>
ence to obsolete uSages and forms which the pro-
gress of Society is determinedly throwing off,"
I'd. The State is enriched in proportion as the
permaneEcy Of her citizenship IS secured. To
effect this end, land proprietors should be en-
couraged to offer their lands on such terms and
in such quantities as will enable the head Of
every family to become land holder, and thus,
being identified with the material interests Of the
State, contribute to her prosperity.
Sd. Rulers are the peoples agents, invested
with power "for the punishment Of evil-doers,
and for the praise of them that do WE'LL" to
whom it is the duty. Of the people to render all
proper respect and obedience; for there is no
power but Of God; the powers that be are Or
dained o. Cod
4th. The proper ru lie of political faith is that
which aids the Administration, and enables it to
develope the material interests Of the State; to
promote the happiness. by securing the peace
and quiet Of the Individual citizen, and harmony
among all classes Of Society.

A circular lately received from the
above named gentlemen, gives US intelii'
gence Of their REIMBURSEMENT of that
part Of their business, in which We, in
common with nearly all the country
press of the State, are largely interested
in, viz: that of the paper supply. We
have so long been receiving from them
the paper used in our Office, and so sat
isfactorily, that the announcement is re-
ceived with much regret. This change
in their business is made in order that
they may concentrate on their printing
and blank book manufacturing, which
has grown into vast proportions. We
wish the firm that large success which
their enterprise and Uniform courtesy
merits, and hope that our business in.
tercourse, though now broken in part,
may increase in other respects.

State of Education in Persia.

The upper classes in Persia can gen.
orally read and write and cipher little.
Their learning seldom goes beyond
that and there is a pious reason for
their ignorance. The Caliph Omar sa-
gaciously observed that "there was no
need of any book but the Koran be-
cause whatever could by any possibility
be good in literature was to be found in
it," Thus, although many of the Per-
sian Khans are almost as good scholars
as American village children in the first
year OF their studies, yet writing is not
only an art in Persia, but it is distinct
profession practiced by meerzas, who
20 about with nm inkhorn and reed
and are much esteemed. There can
hardly be said to exist Persian liter
allure in modern times. There is q
newspaper Ga sort of court journaD
printed at Teheran, and now and then
rambling tale, attributing marvellous
deeds and gifts to kings, and chiefly
occupied with "Naploon " (Napoleon),
finds its way into print and q limited
circulation. There is no such person as
Persian publisher, and no such thing
as Persian booksellers shop. Such
ancient books as areread by the learned
are still mostly in manuscript and bear
very high price.

Sane or Insane.

Mary Harris (who killed Burroughs,
clerk in the United States Treasury
Department, some years ago, and was
acquitted on the plea of insanity has
been brought back to Washington from
Pennsylvania, whittier she fed after her
escape from the Government Insane
Asylum across the eastern branch on
the evening of the 9Th instant. Infor-
nation was received by the Washington
Detective Corps that Miss Harris was
in Louisburg, Pa, where some friends
were secretiug her. Two detectives
were Immediately dispatched to secure
her. She was traced from Louisburg to
Philadelphia, and was finally arrested
on one of the streets of that city. Upon
her arrival at Washington she was at
once taken to her old quarters in the
asylum. 1t has been learned that she
was aided in her escape from the asylum
by an employe who was charged to
watch her and who assisted her in
scaling the wall. From the asylum she
at once came to this city, pawned her
watch, and left on the first train North.
Miss Harris was originally consigned to
the asylum as an insane and dangerous
person some time after the Burroughs
trial. The detectives who brought her
back say that at present she seems to
be perfectly sane, with no symptoms
whatever of mental arrangement, and
that she says she will patiently wait for
the hour Of her rescue.

Danger Island.

Far south, in the Indian ocean, writes
q traveller, in the midst of almost
eternal surf and spray, rises what is ap-
propriately termed Danger Island. OF
all the lonely spots on the globe whose
existence has been ascertained, this is
probably the most lonely. Once only
has it been known to have been visited
by man. The sea for many hundred
miles rolls and flashes over shallow
bottom till, arriving at certain degree
of latitude, the floor of rock abruptly
terminates, and the ocean becomes in q
moment of unfathonable depth. On
the very edge of this abyss stands
Danger Island, which the least touch of
an earthquake OF an unusual stroke of
hurricane may some day topple over
into the bottomless gulf. The pillows
necessarily fret and moan against the
cliffs of Danger Island, which on all
sides descend sheer into the deep, SO as
to appear from q distance perfectly in.
accessible.
A surveying ship, traversing theoce
in all directions for scientific purposes,
once approached this wild rock. After
rowing to considerable distance along
the foot of the precipices, one gentle
man discovered a small assure, through
which he felt confident they could climb
to the summit; and the boat being
pushed quite close to the rocks, two or
three of the most daring landed, and
after no slight toll and peril reached the
top. The prospect which then pre-
sented itself was truly extraordinary.
Rendered green as an emerald by the
agency of hidden springs, the whole
surface of the island was thickly strewn
with eggs of innumerable ocean birds,
which, rising from the task of incuba-
ton, formed canopy of futtering
wings overhead. The eggs were of all
colors-white, light chocolate, and ceru.
lean blue, dotted with brown or crimson,
or turquoise, or black. Here and there
little bills protruded from the shells:
and the mothers, though scared away
for moment by the unusual apparition
of men, soon alighted near their young.

A Confession.

met her on the cars to-day
I've often met hcr thero before.
She has an arch, enchanting way
Which women envy, men adore.
She is not young-no more am I!
Indeed, my beard is white as snow;
But Time has slyly passed her by,
Nor left wrinkle ON her brow.
Her eyes are blue rs heavens blue;
Her forehead with the lily yics;
Her checks have caught the roses hue,
Her hair the sunsets golden dyes.
We meet and chat. and when VIC part
Perhaps we kiss, but neither tells!
And then for hours within my heart
There's music sweet as Ginning bells.
Our TALK not of Indifferent things
OF books and pictures, birds and flowers
But things akin to wedding-rings,
or boys and business, girls and dowors.
Indeed il is most grave and staid,
Az doth l,ecome our time OF life,
For we are passing into shade,
Aud I'm her husband, she's my wife.

Irvine. And my white-handle knife-I
guess it went through hole in my pocket,
that I didn't know of till my knife was lost.
My trowsers are getting pretty short. But
she says its partly my legs getting long. Pm
glad ofthat. And partly getting them wet.
| stubbed my toe against stump, and tum
bled down and scraped hole through the
knee of my oldest pair. For it was very
rotten cloth. I guess the hole is too crook
cd to have it sewed again. She thinks
mouse ran up my leg, and gnawed the hole
my knife went through to get the crumbles
in the pocket. don't mean when they
were on me, but hanging up. did what
you told me when / got wet. I hung my
clothes around the kitchen stove on three
chairs, but the cooking girl, she flung them
under the table. So now l go wrinkled,
and the boys chase me to smooth out the
wrinkles. don't skip over any button
holes in the morning now, as my jacket
comes out even. Why didn't you tell me

my hair if it weren't for burning their fin
gers. Derry said he guessed my hair was
tired of standing up and wanted to lie
down and rest. Iwish you would please
send me new comb, for the large end of
mine has got all but five of the teeth bro

Where the Sun does not Set.

A scene witnessed by some travellers in
the North of Norway, from cliff one thous-
and feet above the sea, is thus described =:
1.-THE ocean stretched away in silent vast
ness at our feet the sound ofwaves scarce
ly reached our airy lookout; away in the
North the huge old sun swung low along
the horizon, like the slow beat of the pen
dulum in the tall clock of our grandtather's
parlor corner. We all stood silent, look
ing at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung triumphantly above the
waves, bridge of gold running due North
spanning the water between us and him.
mere he shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We involuntarily took
off our hats; no word was said. Combine,
if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw and the beauties will
pale before the gorgeous coloring which
now lit up ocean, heaven and mountain
In half an hour the sun had swung up per-
ceptibly on his beat, the colors changed to
those of morning, fresh breeze rippled
over the flood, one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind us-we had
slid another day."
