| Thank God for this his perfect day,
| This hymn Of Natures living Tyre
This sounding praise, this grateful lay,
To him, creations glorious Sire.
One downy dome OF blue the air;
pomp of hues here whelms the eye,
While swoons the mellow landscape there
In dreamy films Of violet dye.
Along the level water come
Far sounds, the wheel across the bridge,
The sportman's shot, the sawmills hum,
The crows cav hoating from the ridge.
Upon the lulled lakes FURNISHED glass,
Athwart the FORESTS creviced wall,
Over the mountains sheeny mass
Waivers faint, transparent pail.
The scented west wind roams around
The leaves that strew the forest floor;
Moves them in shudderings on the ground
Or twirls them in light eddies o'cr.
The squirrel Kisses on the spray,
Bows his gray back aud whirls his brush
Whistles the quail and screams the jay
Scarce marring the deligh full hush.
The little streamlet pours in meek,
Slight trickle through its gemmed ravine
How different when its surges wreak
Their wrath and shake the frowning scene
A soft, warm air now bathes the check,
As if sweet Summer breathed again;
And now there comes a chilly streak
That tells of Winters coming reign.
How dazzling glows the landscape nigh,
A jewelry of variant hues.
While fainter, fainter to the eye,
Into soft gray the tints diiusc.
That old. brown harvester, the Year,
Gathers the fruits he sowed in toll,
Heaped at his side, behold the cheer
The russet, golden, rosy spoil.
The barn stands bursting with his wealth;
The farmyard rings with bounteous life;
He laughs his jolly laugh OF health
And shakes his pouch, with treasures rife.
The rich seeds fill his spacious bins,
The gems with which his toll is crowned:
Where stood the corn the spider spins
His silver DER the vacant ground.
As dies the day in sunsets gold,
As on songs current dies the swan
So dies the year in Aatumn's fold,
The brightest Natures pride puts on
o heauteous month! when life decays
May this heavenly quiet feel,
And in these hucs be clad my days
AS downward slopes life's weary wheel.

A correspondent Of the London
7in.ts, writing from Copenhagen,
says:
"A Norwegian paper is relating
tale of AN almost miraculous preser.
walton. The captain OF the schooner
Amazon, of Stavanger, recently ar
rived at Bergen with cargo Of salt,
reports that in passing the British
Channel he had the opportunity Of
saving a British lad of fifteen under
very peculiar circumstances. The
Amazon was about twelve geographic
cal miles from the British shore,
when the captain thought he OBJ
served through his telescope some
thing floating on the water. He
altered his course so AS TO get nearer,
and soon discovered that it was
small boat, in which a lad was lying
fast asleep. The shouting from tho
schooner did not awaken him, but
when small log was thrown over
into the boat he awoke with sud-
den start; an end of line was
thrown to HIM, and he was just able
t. fasten it When he swooned, and
had to be carried on board the vessel.
In the boat nothing was found but a
pair of oars and a Bible. The lad,
when brought back to life and
strength by the tender care shown
to him, gave the following account
of his fate: He was sitting on the
shore, reading his Bible, when some
of his companions came down to him
and teazed him with the manner in
which he spent his leisure time. To
escape from their banter he got into
a boat, and kept on reading, when
suddenly he discovered, to his great
dismay, that his prosecutors had cut
the line and left his frail boat to the
power Of the undermining ebb. He
tried to use the oars, but struggled
in vain against wind and water, and,
as dense fog set in, he soon lost
sight Of land. After several hours Of
alternate struggle and powerless de-
spair, he fell asleep; and sleep re-
NAMED, in fact, his only comfort
against hunger, cold, and the deep
pangs of his isolation during the
three days aad two nights which he
had spent in his frail boat, when he
was at last seen and saved. IN
happily, neither the name of the lad
nor of the place where his parents
live is given, but that will, suppose,
not be difficult to get at when the
fact obtains your wide publicity.
The name of the captain Of the ANA
zon is Thomson"

A short time since we made men,
ton of the discovery that an ex-sol-
der in one of the western counties
had photograph album belonging
to the family of Jefferson Davis,
which was stolen from him by SOL
dier while the great rebel was III the
"Lincoln bastile." This album was
recovered. through peculiar chain
of circumstances and sent back to
Mr.. Davis. And now we learn that
the same man who took Davis
album was also possessed OF some OF
the effects of Gen. Lee, though how
he came by them we do not know,
for he had not the same opportunity
to steal from Lee as he had from Da-
Wis. He is said to have an album
and some other effects. And now
comes word from some Of the Lee
family in Virginia, to officers here,
through Gen. Jones, who rendered
such service to his old friend, Jeffer-
son Davis, to secure, if possible, the
long-lost family relics. This, we un-
derstand, has already been done.
Strange incidents grow out Of the
war. and will continue to present
themselves until the end of the pres
ent generation.-DubaQue Herald.

You can easily mark your name
upon steel by process called etch-
ing. Coat over the tools with thin
LAYER of wax or hard tallow, by first
warming the steel and rubbing on
the wax, warm until it flows, and let
it cool. When hard mark your name
through the wax with graver, and
apply some acquafortis, nitric acid;
after a few moments wash off the
acid thoroughly with water, warm
the metal enough to melt the wax,
and wipe it off with soft rag. The
letters vii! be found etched into the
steel.

One Of the IN 1T pathetic remind
ers of the recent Fall River disaster
is the habit of woman whose three
daughters were killed, but who still
insanely believes that they are alive.
Every day, when the factory bells
are ringing for dinner, the woman,
who saw her three daughters borne
away to be buried, that Sunday,takes
tin pail, as she used TO do, and
starts for Granite Mill, No. l.. Some
times her neighbors divert her atten-
ton by telling her that it isn't bell
time, but, other days she walks to the
place where the mill once stood, sees
nothing that she can recognize, turns
back in a dazed way, and goes to her
deserted home again.

simmons Confirmation Considered a.
Ccrtain-Probable Reorganization OF
the Republican Party in Massacha-
setts, with Butler ~ Leader.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 25, 1874
The almost absolute certainty OF the connrma~
ton of the nomination Of Mr.. Summons as Collector
OF the Port Of Boston has had the eject to destroy
anxious curiosity. Dependency on the part OF
the "antis' and Joy on the part OF the simmons
party has followed, however, and the mercantile
community has settled down to the pending fate
OF Mr.. Simmons for Collector; but 1t Is not unlikely
that his Official advent will be the preliminary
measure to a fresh organization or the repuDncan
party in Massachusetts and, Of course, with Ben
Butler at the head.
The news comes from Washington this evening,
that the anti-Simmons delegation Is on It's way
back to Boston, ana the other party Is reported to
be lingering at the capital and INDUCING In ban
quet over the administration triumph. -.
IL is not improbable that Notwithstanding the
persistent opposition which has been made to the
NOMINATION OF Mr.. simmons and its continuation,
ne will be heartily supported AFTER all the hurry Is
over Nothing is brought up against him from
any quarter. and the argument which General
Butler mas advanced IN behalf OF the nominee has
not even been criticized, either by the press OF
According TO private advices this evening the
