IN SORROW.

When thou art sorrowful, and cares around,
Crowd fast upon the steps of happier
days;
When thou believ'st en- brightest things
can lend,
The saddest echo to the gayest lays
AS men of old were fed with angels
food
Go, seek thy remedy in doing good.
When those to thee the dearest shall have
died,
And each fresh day grow weary to thine
eyes;
When every hope that others build upon
Comes to thy senses with a sad surprise;
Take up the burden of another's grief;
Learn from another's pain thy woes
relief.
Mourner, believe that may sorrow be bribed
nor tears,
But nobler sacriice-of helping hands,
OF cheering smiles, of sympathetic ears
Oft have the saddest words the sweeter
strain;
In angels music let thy soul complain.
Then Grief shall stand with half averted
foot
Upon the threshold of brighter day;
And Hope shall take her sweetly by the
hand,
And both kneel down with Faith to
meekly pray.
Lifted from earth, Peace shall immor-
talize
The heart that its own anguish purifies.

handy housekeepers. This plague makes

handy housekeepers. This plague makes
its appearance usually in the person of a
stalwart young man who has a quarter
section, and humble, though comfortable
house, which needs keeping in order by
the deft hand of some comely young wo-
man.
Persons fond of fine driving-and who is
not can enjoy it here in all its delights.
The roads are excellent and just enough
rolling for pleasure, and the soil being of a
sandy loan, little or no mud is ever formed,
the ground drying rapidly after rains.
This season the Winter wheat crop ranges
from eighteen to twenty-five bushels per
acre; and with the exception of the Wichita
figures given me by reliable men.
A man owning land here who has not the
team to break it up the first time can have
it done this Summer for So per acre the
frs. time. The land once broken the
original sod is left to rot one season and
then, plowed for wheat. This is called
rebreaking, which can be hired, including
narrowing and sowing in wheat, for So per
acre. This is twenty five or thirty per cent
lower than such work cost when times were
more prosperous. When a man opens a
farm it is customary to pillow up hedge
row 16 feet wide and set Usage orange
plants which soon grow into handsome
hedge in the rich soil if properly attended.
Considerable excitement prevails here
about the railroad company furnishing the
settlers who have been bereft by the grass
hoppers of their little all, with seed wheat
for Fall crops. The railroad company, we
learn propose to furnish seed for farmers,
taking their notes with interest payable
when the crop is harvested, with good
bonus, however, which is added to the face
of the note.
There is a herd law in the State which is
very severe on stock owners who allow
their cattle to trespass on their neighbors,
and the fencing which farmer does is for
his own convenience.
Large numbers of Mennonites are said
to be settling here, who are considered a
very choice class of emigrants by the rail-
road companies who own land grants.

EMBALMING AMONG THE EGYPTIANS.

The Egyptians, however, carried their
process to perfection by introducing anti.
septics into the vacated interiors of their
dead, thus embalning in their catacombs,
it is estimated, not less than 400, 900, 900
persons. Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus,
especially the former, have infinitely ex-
planned the method of preservation, and
from them we learn that it was d regular
trade. The embalmers removed the brain
and the intestines, supplying the emptiness
with myrrh, cassia, and other spices, and
then placed the body in natron for seventy
days. Subsequently it was carefully laved
and wrapped with banda yes of fine linen
smeared with gum, and put in wooden
case shaped after the human figure. There
were other modes of embalming less ex-
pensive, the rate varying from $1,000 to
$400 in our currency, which was so much
money in those days that we can not see
how Egyptians of the ordinary class could
possibly afford to die. They doubtless
lived longer than they would have done
otherwise, prompted by prudent economy
to avoid the extravaganza of burial as long
as possible.
The cheapest way of embalming, adopted
by the poor, was to free the abdomen of
the intestines by means of clyster- COM
monty the oil of the cedar tree-and let
the body lie in natron until the flesh was
impregnated. Recent investigations indi-
cate that heat must have been applied to
the corpses after they had been filled with
some bituminous substance and creosote
generated and diffused through all the It's
sues. The reason that heat was not men,
toned by the authorities is supposed to be
their desire to keep the process secret, and
enhance the dignity and mystery of the art.
Embalming is still employed. The means
adopted by Chaussisr and others have been
to evlscerate the body and keep it constantly
saturated with potochloride of mercury.
The salt, combining with the flesh, not only
gives it firmness, but renders it incorrupt-
IDLE either by internal or external agencies.
The injection into the veins of concen-
trated solution of sulphate of alumnia, or
of chloride of mercury and wood-vinegar,
or of sulphate of zinc, has been found very
effective not only for anatomical purposes,
but also for embalming.
We might attain to the preservative ex-
cellence of the Egyptians were we so
minded; but as embaiming, except for tenn
porary convenience, is not deemed desirable
with us, and forms no part of our theo-
logical system, we have no ambition to
rival them in mummification. Our sepul-
chral vanity manifests itself in grandilo-
quent epitaphs and sculptured monuments,
instead of it's desiccated carcasses and pig
mental of death. The athletic element
alone would prevent us from initiating the
dwellers on the Nile, who made death more
hideous to the eye than it could be to the
supremest superstition. .. .-..

chill them to the bone. Poor little Brigida
shivered involuntarily from time to time.
The absence of hope-all possibility of
deliverance-seemed to depress her vital
power, and produced a degree of chill
which the actual condition Of the tempera-
ture did not account for.
"My poor Brida," said Luca, tenderly,
looking kindly on her in the dim light,
i" they might have spared you. What
conspirator ~ he added, smiling bitterly,
his tone changing suddenly, "oh that
something could be done to deliver you
from this dreadful fate ~
"Do you wish me away, then, Luca''
She paused moment, and her thoughts
went back to happier times. "Luca,"
she went on, chow happy we used to be
before you were mixed up with these
dreadful plots and conspiracies, when you
used to work all day at your beautiful
missals, and sat by you making the pat
terms which you had designed on my en-
brodery; and Lippo, who used to be with
us so often. Poor Lippo! l wonder what
he is doing, and if he got the letter which
| sent him after you were arrested"
She stopped abruptly as her brother
started up from the COUGHING position in
which he had lain so long, causing the cage
to swing violently to and fro by the sudden
movement.
"What was that?' he cried. "Some-
thing rushed by me in the air; was it
bird? 1t came quite near my hand.'
again" he cried, after short interval.
"Ah it is not bird. 1t is-it is an
arrow"
can arrow?'' echoed Brigida; "what
can that mean?'' The moon had come out
brightly just at this time from behind a
cloud, and they both gazed down OH the
piazza. The sky was covered again pres
emily and everything was indstinct, but
Brigida thought she made out something
like the figure of a man in the great square,
near the base of the column. "What can
it mean?' said Brigida again.
s'It means,' replied her brother, "that
we are hung up here as mark to be shot
at. But in the dark, why in the dark?
Brigda shuddered involuntarily, and
drew nearer to her brother. 81 hope they
will kill me first" she said.
The words were hardly out of her mouth
when third arrow came whizzing through
the air. This time it struck Luca full on
the shoulder.

eYThe Oxford edition of Gibbon con-
sists of eight volumes with four or five
hundred pages in each, the exact number
of pages in all being $500. An individual
who had been reading one of these vol
umes had the curiosity to examine sixty
pages of it and found that the deaths from
violence recorded in them amounted on an
average to about nine thousand per page.
If the wounded in the battle recorded by
Gibbon bore the same proportion to the
slain that they do in modern times, they
would be sufficient, if placed on beds three
feet in width, to encircle the glode four
times. And yet these ugly wars 60 on for
want of a stronger public sentiment against
them.
