ANEW FEAR,S nIRGE.

Downward they go-still on and on
Passing away-anOthGT is gone
Gone "a ay, with its hopes and fears;
Gone away, with its smiles and tears;
Gone, with the thousands that went be-
fore,
Swallowed for aye in the Never More.
Ring out the knell, and let it swell
In the m0urnful tones of sad farewell:
Ring out the knell, in many a chime,
Plaintive and slow, for the child of Time
That, with his record, has passed away
For the year we bury deep to-day.
Ring out the knell Ou the wintry air
y requiem dirge for the young and fair
Who met us with love one year ago,
But who sleep to-day, lonely and low
Ring out the knell Of the vanished hours,
Clouded sunshine and vanished flowers,
Beauty and bloom, that have faded all
King out the knell-let the tear-drops fall.
King ont the knell of the dead and gone,
The young and lovely, many a one
The mother, brother, or sister fond,
Gone with the year to the Land Be-
yond,"
Many friend we shall meet no more,
Has gone, at last, TO the "Other Shore :"
Many Il flower has ielt the frost;
The earth is fresh DER the loved and lost.
Let the knell ring Out-the year is past,
lis deeds are done, and its lots are cast
All all is gone, and beyond recall
Let the night come down, and the shad-
pWs fall

Greenback Paper.

All the paper issued by the Unit
ed States Government is manufac-
tured on sixty two inch Fourdrinier
machine, at the Glen Mills near
West Chester, Pa. Short pieces of
red silk are mixed with the pulp in
the engine, and the finished stuff is
conducted to the wire without pas
sing through any screens, which
might retain the silk threads. BY
an arrangement above the wire cloth,
a shower of short pieces of fine blue
silk thread is dropped in streaks up
on the paper while it is being form
ed. The upper side on which the
blue silk is dropped, is the one used
for the face of the notes, and
from the manner in which the
threads are applied must show them
more distinctly than the reverse
side, although they are imbedded
deeply enough to remain fixed. The
mill is guarded by officials night and
day to prevent tie abstraction OF

From 1.-THE Gilded Age" by Mark Twain and
Charles D. Waruer.l
At night the boat forged on
through the deep solitudes of the
river, hardly ever discovering a
light to testify to human presence
mile after mile and league after
league the vasts bends were guarded
by unbroken walls of forest that had
never been disturbed by the voice
or of the football of man, or felt
the edge of his sacrilegious axe.
An hour after supper the moon
came up, and Clay and Washington
two boys) ascended to the hulri-
cane deck to revel again in their
new realms of enchantment. They
ran races up and down the deck;
climbed about the bell; made friends
with the passenger dog chained un-
derth life boat; tried to make
friends with passenger-bear fasten-
ed to the verge staff, but were not
encouraged; skinned the cat" on
the hog-chains; in word exhausted
the amusement possibility of the
deck. Then they looked wistfulIy
up at the pilot house, and finally
little by little Clay ventured up
there, followed difidently by Wash
ington. The pilot turned presently
to ''get his stearn Marks" saw the
lads and invited them in. This CO.
zy little house, built entirely of
glass, and commanding a marvellous
prospect in every direction, was
magician's throne to them, and
their enjoyment of the place was
simply boundless.
They sat down on high bench
and looked miles ahead, and saw
the wooded capes fold back and re-
veal the bends beyond; and they
looked miles to the rear and saw the
silvery highway diminish its breadth
by degrees and close itself together
In the distance. Presently the pilot
"By George, yonder comes the
Amaranth!"
A spark appeared, close TO the
water, several miles down the river.
The pilot took his glass and looked
at it steadily for moment, and said,
chiefly to himself:
at can't be the Blue Wing. She
couldn't pick us up this way. It's
the Amaranth, sure"
He bent over speaking tube, and
said:
"WhO's on watch down there?"
A hollow, inhuman voice rumbled
up through the type in answer,
81 am. Second engineer"
"GOod! You want to stir your
stumps, now, Harry-the Amar-
anth's just turned the point,-and
she's just a humming herself, toow
The pilot took hold of rope that
stretched out forward, jerked it
twice, and two mellow strokes of
the big bell responded. A voice out
on the deck shouted:
'Stand by, down there, with that
lap-board lead!"
"No, | don't want the lead" said
the pilot, 81 want you. Roust out

dreadful and inhuman aspect.
A little wee French midshipman,
of fourteen lay fearfully injured, but
never uttered a sound till physi-
Clan at Memphis was about to dress
his hurts.
"Can 1 get well? You need not
be afraid to tell me-"
"No-I-I am afraid you can
not"
"Then do not waste your time
with me-help those that can get
we'll"
"But-"
"Help those who can get well! 1t
is not for me to be girl. [ carry
the blood of eleven generations OF
soldiers in my veins!"
The physician-himseif was man
who had seen service in the navy i'll
his time-touched his hat to the lit
tie hero and passed on.
The head engineer of the ANA
ranth, grand specimen of physic-
al manhood, struggled to his feet
a ghastly spectacle, and strobe to
ward his brother, the second engin-
eer, who was unhurt. He said:
s'You were on watch. You were
boss. You would not listen to me
when begged you to reduce your
steam. Take that!-take it to my
wife, and tell her it comes from me
by the hand of my murderer! Take
it!-and take my curse with it to
blister your heart a hundred years
and may you live so longp'
And he tore the ring from his fin
ger, stripping the flesh and skin
with it, threw it down and fell dead!
But these things must not be
dwelt upon. The Boreas landed her
dreadful cargo at the next large
town and delivered it over to null
titude of eager hands and warm
Southern hearts--a cargo amounting
by this time to thirty nine wounded
persons and twenty two dead bod
les. And with these she delivered
list of ninety six persons that had
drowned or otherwise perished at
the time of the disaster.
A jury of inquest was impaneled,
and after due deliberation and in
quiry, they returned the inevitable
American verdict, which has been
so familiar to our ears all the days
of our lives-"Nobody to blame" d"

That's as true as preaching,
Never wiser precept was

That they truly love you

Waking many an Undine's soul
From unconscious slumber?
But beware &c.

Hoard the honeyrd lie he told you
In the dusky twilight muse.
While love dreams enlOld you;
Listen for his coming step,
With the bushes creeping
Ger the cheeks that by and by
May be pa1ed with weeping.
But beware &c.

From whose heart be sips the sweets
That beguile the hour.

Why should he be true to you
Who anoher's life has blighted?
Beware &c.

A. OAKLEY HALL.-We were
aware that Mayor Hall of the city
of Gotham, was something of swell,
but we were hardly prepared for
such a description of the exquisite as
here follows from the n. Y. cores
pondence of the st. Louis GLOBE.
Such a jocko is a very becoming sue
cessor to Jim Fisk, jr.:
What a swell Mayor Hall is, and
how i'll the penitentiary garb would
become himi He is the dreSsiest
man in town. | know no one who
changes his suits so frequently. He
appears in different one every day,
and his clothes are of all the cOlOrs
of the rainbow. His neck-tieS are of
" hite, black, brown, yellow, green,
blue, purple, red, drab, gray, pink,
violet and every other color under
the sun. His coats and trOwsers and
vests are equally variegated, and OF
the most dazzling hues. In fact, Mr..
Hall is a sort of human butterfly, so
bright and fantastic in his outer
rarh. He likes ts enact the grand
gentleman, and his manner is q very
curions mixture of American sim
plieity and French suavity. When
an ordinary American would nod, he
waves his hat; when you or would
shake hands he sweeps a profound
bow, and extends four-hfths OF the
tip of his thumb. He is constant
ly quoting poetry and telling jokes,
and every word seems to say, Il am

A Florida Panther Story.

While hunting near the coast, a
few days since, it was my misfor-
tune to witness sickening and
heart-rending scene near a bayou.
NV companion and self had been
hunting two or three days previous
Iy near the locality and shot four
deer, one of which ran toward that
spot, so badly wounded that l
thought it would fall within two
hundred yards of the place at which
it was shot; but as we had as many
as we desired for that day we did
not trace it. On our return, two
DAYS afterward, to hunt near the
same place, l noticed buzzards fly
ing near the spot where l suspected
the deer had gone, and | suggested
to my companion to go to it, just to
satisfy myself that l was correct in
my surmise, and also to show him
how accurately | could shoot, for he
continually taunts me with the num-
Der of deer that carry with them ev-
licences of my poor craftsmanship.
On approaching the spot the stencil
was so unpleasant that we were in
the act of retraeing our steps
when we noticed buzzard hop as if
chased, and insisted on going far
enough to be satisfied that it was
correct. On nnearer approach most
horrible scene was before US. About
twenty PAGES from bayou, snumber
of immense alligators were keeping
off flock of buzzards from partial
ly eaten and decompOsing body of
human being, and near by the car
cass of a panther! The head and
limbs of the human being were sew
cred from the body, and were scat
tered over an area of fifteen feet.
The head was bruised, scratched,
swollen; and eaten so that it could
not be recognized, except that it was
a white mans. Nearly all the flesh
was eaten off the bones, and so re-
Gently too, that the traces of large
teeth were noticeable. The carcass
of the panther was also much de-
voured. A large heavy sailors
knife, stained with blood, was near
the trunk of the human being, and
there were other evidences of 8
desperate struggle for life between
the man and the panther. As we
approached, none of the guardians
over the dead moved until my
companion threw heavy pine knot
into their midst, when the smaller
retreated into the water, the larger
moving sullenly in that direction,
but never going farther than the
edge, all the time closely watching
every movement we made.
When my companion commenced
to collect the bones Of the man for,
interment, while held both guns,
the alligators near the edge became
ferocious, and about ten rushed mad
lv toward us. We stood our ground
and fired four times, fatally wound
ING, if not killing, as many alliga-
tors. looked toward the bayou
and its surface was covered with al
ligator heads as far as the eye could
reach. which came to the shore, L
suppose, to learn the cause of the
alarm. As we did not wish to wage
war with the alligator kingdom,
amid the stencil which was nearly
sitting, we retreated.
All inquiry has failed uto frnish
any information in regard to the
man, except what has been detailed
above. 1t is conjectured that it was
an unfortunate sailor who had been
shipwrecked and cast ashore, and
who, in seeking to reach some habi-
tation of man, was overtaken by the
sad misfortune which befel him.

A NOVEL CnnE roR DrspEps1l

A NOVEL CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA
Some years ago physician in
New York city published small
book in which he gave written GER
tifcates of marvellous cures of dys-
pepsia. His cures were mysterious
and very effective. He charged
$500 for a cure, and his patients
were most solemnly pledged, with
much ceremony, to profound secre-
cy as to the mode of treatment. Af-
ter the death of the doctor some of
the patients felt themselves absolv-
ed for the obligation of secrecy, and
one of them disclosed these facts;
After correcting some of the more
grossly wrong dietit habits, he
required each patient to spend ten
OF fifteen minutes in the morning, at
rising, kneading and slapping his
abdomen with precision. This was
to extend over the stomach, bowels
and liver. This was repeated just
before dinner: again, at P. NJ, with
precision on going to bed. The pa
tient was requested to be temperate
and regular in all his habits, exer-
else much in the open air, and at
tend most assiduously to the slap
ping, kneading and percussion Of
the whole abdomen, and as the re-
suit, we are informed that malig-
nant cases of Indigestion, that had
resisted all other remedies, yielded
to this. "In every case of indiges
tion," says DR.. Lewis, ''no matter
what may be its character, slapping
the bowels with the fiat of the
hands on rising in the morning, four
hours after breakfast, and in the
evening on going to bed, is excel
lent treatment. cannot conceive
of a case of chronic indigestion
which such manipulation would
not relieve. If person is so weak
that he cannot perform these slap
pings and kneadings for himself,
then the hands of a discreet person
should be employed" 1t is marvel
GUS how a stomach, sore and sensi-
tive at first, and hardly able to bear
a touch, will strengthen under these
operations, and bear for a short
time with pleasure pretty rough
handling WatchnaG'a and Reflector.
