A Summer Hymn.
I sing the summer time,
The hot and sultry summer time,
With brassy skies and countless flies,
With days of fret and nights of
sweat,
The golden summer time!
Oh! sweltering time!
Mosquitoes bite. Of dead of night,
Ones blood reduce, Gt's of no use, J
In joyous summer time.
Oh! burning time!
With lolling tongue, dogs mad do
run,
With fiery bite, they seize ye wight.
In happy summer time.
Oh! combustion timel
No need OF. sighs, to tell here lies
A corpus neat, twas slain by heat,
In balmy summer time.
Obi calci6cation time!
Cremation's fun, it's been outdone
By solar rays, in July days,
Of gentle summer time.
Obi caloric imei
No furnace need to do the deed;
Down from the sun, the heat doth
come,
In the mild summer time.
Oh! perspiring timel
In vain the sun one seeks to shun,
Or find spot where heat is not,
In rosy summer time.
Oh! the annoying time!
One walks the street, in dust and
heat,
Or meath the trees finds ppats and
feas,
In the sweet summer time.
Oil the thirsty timel
One doth feel dry, and fain would
try
Some cooling beer, but crusade's
here,
In lovely summer time.
Obi golden summer time!
May there soon come time,
When Sol, more kind, will soothe
our mind,
By gantler rays, and oarn our praise
vi charming summer time.
The last word of progress is medi-
cal verdict against the wells behind
which womanly modesty has screened
itself from the days of Eve. It is as
serted that wells weaken and injure the
eyes. The heavier the material, the
more injurious are they, while some of
the gaudier colors obtain pigments
that are positively deleterious.
Let Mrs. Stowe, who found the loop
To hang Lord Byron's guilt on,
Now try her hand and vindicate
The fame of Lady Tiltou.

CHATTER DAY SAINTS. The elabo-
rate system of proselyting maintained
by the Mormons seems to be emf
nently successful, 1t was only the
other day that four hundred converts,
as they are called, arrived in this
city, bound for the kingdom of the
Latter Day Saints, in the heart of the
continent. These came from the va
rious parts of Europe. The agricul-
tural counties of England and Wales
furnished some, but majority were
from Scandinavian countries. Swe-
den, Denmark and Norway have long
been productive fields for the seed
sown by the Mormon missionaries. -
These people have heard of America
as o land of promise. To it their
eyes have lorlg been turned, but it
has seemed a far-off and unattainable
country. 10 them the Mormon
preacher comes with promises of help
to reach tine new Canaan, which is
pictured in glowing colors. The doc,
trines Of. Mormonism are made palat-
able; plurality of wives is kept out
Of sight; the people, mostly poor
and ignorant, receive gladly and
gospel not violently opposed to their
own i'mperfectly understood creeds.
More especially is it welcome if it
promises relief from the helpless in
dig ence in which they are shut up at
ho me. 1t is not surprising that con-
versions are numerous. The only
wonder is that men do not come by
thousands instead of hundreds.

A SWELL AT THE GALLONS. The
first Earl Holland was agreat dandy,
who played prominent and not
altogether reputable part in the his
tory of his time. He was a favorite
at the courts of James I. and Charles
l.; but when the civil war broke out,
he at first sided with the Parliament
against the King. In an unlucky
hour he went over to the Royalist
side, took up arms against the Com
monwealth, was defeated, taken pris-
oner, put to trial, and duly sentenced
to lose his head. He appeared upon
the scafcold in white satin vest and
cap, trimmed with silver lace. His
costly garments were the lawful per-
quisites OF the executioner, to whom
the Earl said as he approached the
block, "Here, my friend, let my
body and my clothes alone; there is
ten pounds for thee; that is better
than my clothes, / am sure. And
when you take off my head, do not
take off my cap" Then laying his
head upon tho block, ho added;
"Stay, while I give the sign" After
brief prayer ho stretched out his
hand, saying, "Nowl powl The
word had hardly left his lips when
the axe fell, and the head was sew
cred from the body at asingle stroke.

A TUNNEL UNDER THE ENGLISH CHAN
NEL.-The idea of connecting France
with Great Britain by means Of q
railroad line carried through tunnel
under the soa, which has long boen q
favorite one with engineers, seems to
be approaching a practical realiza-
ton. The French engineers have
satisfied themselves that the scheme
is quite practicable, and have made
an estimate Of the cost Of tho pro-
posed tunnel, which they think can
be completed by tho expenditure Of
four million pounds. The lowest
depth Of the Channel has been as
certaind TO boabout one hundred and
forty feet, while the width Of the sea
intervening between Great Britain
and France is twenty miles. 1t is
said that the railroad companies most
interested in the project have resolved
to begin tho tunnel on each side Of
the Channel. It is probable that the
impetus to familiar intercourse be-
tween the two nations which would
follow tho establishment Of such a
railway line would hayo important
social and political effects.

SIMPLE CURE FOR BONE FE1ov. -
We find this in the Franklin N9ws;
j. II. Moore, Esq, informs us that
the egg remedy will certainly cure o
felon. He had one on his thumb
from which he suffered intensely for
two or thre days. Taking q hens
egg he broke off one end, but his
thumb had swollen SO he could not
get il into the shell, whereupon he
poured the contents Of the shell into
d match box and inserted the aching
member therein. In fifteen minutes
ho experienced great relief, and at
the end Of two days the felon began
