All the Way from Danbury.

A HORSE fell dead in Brooklyn Friday.
He ought to have come to Danbury to
do it. A horse might fall dead here
forty times and not hurt himself, the
mud is so deep.
AMONG the conversions accomplished
in the late Reading revival was that of
a man who had been a coal dealer for
fifteen years.
AFTER Agassiz had published the
statement that fish food was peculiarly
appropriate for brain workers, he was
compelled to give up accepting invita-
tations to dine, as scarcely anything but
fish was offered him.
ANY boy can learn to chew tobacco by
being hopeful and persevering, but I'M
less his hips are fully developed, he
cannot wear pants without suspenders,
and have his shirt foam jauntily out
over the top.
Two men slipped and fell simulta-
They fell so close together that they
bumped foreheads, and in the light of
the sparks brought to their eyes by the
conclusion, they recognized each other
as long-lost cousins. 1t was very af-
fecting meeting. Neither of them had
strawberry mark on his arm, but had
instead mark as big as pineapple on
another part of his anatomy.
Mr.. HoGARTH, thinking he would
like to invest in some fancy breed OF
cattle, visited Col. Seldon's farm on
Saturday, to take view of the stock.
During the examination 81, 800 colt
flung up both his hind heels, and
threw some twelve pounds of mud into
Mr.. Hogarth's face and bosom. Mr..
Hogarth returned home perfectly con-
tented with the common breed of ami.

The Cause OF FOgs.

What is the cause OF these dense
fogs ?" asks the Builder, which says ::
Those who have studied the question
reply A fog is formed by the mingling
together of masses of air of different
temperatures, and may properly be
termed an earth-cloud, because 1T is
formed at the surface of the earth, and
seldom rises many feet above 1t. "A
London fog does not in general extend
much beyond the height of the houses.
During its prevalence one may by as
cending st. Paul's Cathedral obtain a
clear atmosphere, while underneath the
dark vapor is rolling like a sea, through
which the spires and steeples rise like
the masts of stranded wrecks. London
fog is not equal in density in all places:
q long, depressed line marks the course
of the Thames, and the deepest dark
ness hangs over the most crowded neigh
borhoods. Before the Act of Parlla-
ment was passed requiring the London
factories to consume their smoke the fog
was particularly dense in the localities
of the great breweries. The height of
the fog is already determined by the
nature of the subsoil. If it is clayey
it stands high, and low if it be OF sand
or gravel. Defranc states, in his Treat
Use on Vapor, that fog is occasioned by
descending current of air, which beats
down the smoke and rolls it over the
surface of the earth At this time a
current of air may be observed to des-
cend down through the chimneys which
have no fire, producing a strong odor of
SCOT; thus proving the existence of des-
cending currents in the atmosphere.
Therefore, if the smoke of tens of
thousands of chimneys be discharged
into the air, and there mingled with
watery vapor. and then again forced to
descend, dense fog must necessarily
ensue

4" Do Won think he would forgive me p

:" Do You think he would forgive me?"
continued Myrtle, piteously. :,
81 think he would; you might ask
him" said rich, manly voice which was
not Charles.
In an instant, Myrtle was on her feet.
How dare you?" she exclaimed, in
dignantly.
But her voice failed her, and she again
sunk TO the floor, this time in an agony
Of shame and modification.
Myrtle, darling forgive me 7 / was
going to make myself known when you
first came in but when you mentioned
my name, the temptation was too great.
Myrtle, won't you pardon me? said
Lionel, STOPPING down and lifting the
slight form in his arms. pardon me
not only for listening tonight, but also
for my conduct in the past. / care
nothing for Miss Latour, as / think my
Myrtle very well knows. Darling wait
for your forgiveness.
Myrtle's head dropped lower and
lower
Lionel" she whispered, CT have
nothing to forgive. 1t was my foolish
pride and exacting jealousy that caused
all the trouble. /"
Hush will not hear my white
rose slandered even by herself.
She attempted to rise, but he held her
fast.
81 am about to restore this ring to
it's rightful place, unless" adding the
words mischievously, "Mr. Beresford
has prior claim" And he slipped the
ring on her finger.
The moon had now risen, and as they
stepped out of the summer-house, Lionel
said
Myrtle, it is an emblem of our lives;
as the moon has just emerged from dark
clouds, so have we. Hereafter, it will
be all right"
AS the happy pair approached the
house, they discovered Charlie sitting on
the porch.
"Whew ?" said the latter, with pro-
longed wistle. Then, jumping up, he
clapped Lionel on the shoulder. "Old
fellow, l told you she would come to
terms.
He never discovered the secret of
their reunion, or he would certainly
have congratulated himself as being a
prophet.
Adele Latour was rather disappointed
when she found Lionel had slipped
through her fingers but she recovered
in time to accept the invitation to the
wedding with good grace.

WOman's Hatred.

If you quarrel with woman over
night you invite the devil to breakfast
Having made woman your foe, you
have poisoned the air you breathe in
common. Nature, who has deprived
her of physical power to strike, has be-
slowed mental power to hate; and hate
is more formidable than the heaviest
blows. These must be exhausted ere
long; that nourishes itself from within,
and grows by self-indulgence. An an
cry woman, if she be comely, is pictur-
esque and alluring. But the aroused
and fixed aversion which sometimes sue
coed thereto is not pleasant to contem-
plate. Feminine hatred is great force
in the universe it has created epochs
and destroyed empires changed desti-
MES and retarded ages. Civilization
has modified its expression, but not
lessened its intensity. In the wars of
to-day the enemies in the field may be
conquered, but the enemies at home
never can be. Technically they do not
bear arms, and yet the arms they have
they lay not down until they are victo-
rious over the victors.

Immigration Checked by the Panic.

The New York Tribune says During
the past week the total number of immi-
grants landed at Castle Garden was only
455. This is the smallest number re-
ceived in a week for period of several
years. The record of migration this
year probably fall far short of that of
previous years. In January, 1873. the
number of migrants was 5000, and in
the same month of 1872, 4,615. Janu-
airy, 1874, is already nearly passed, and
the number of arrivals is only ,6S2.
The comming week will hardly swell
that number of $500. This remarkable
decrease is attributed largely to the re-
cent panic in this country, and the
dearth of employment. On the three
steamers which landed passengers yes
terday from Glasgow, Hamburger and
Bremen, only 1877 steerage passengers
arrived. Within the next six weeks the
stream or immigration will rapidly in
crease in volume, and in May thousands
will doubtless disembark daily, and
many hundreds from single vessel.

GRINSNeODLE'S TIN EAR-HOW HE
GOT 1T.

1t was not until / had known him
long and well, and our intimacy had
ripened into strong mutual friendship,
that | ventured to inquire how it was
that he lost the natural organ and came
into the ownership of his ornamental tin
ear.
/ did not know how sensitive he might
be upon the subject of his misfortune.
and 1 considered that it was best to bide
his own good time and inclinations,
when he would perhaps tell me the whole
story.
One day, when we had dined together
and had grown mellow over a sufficient
quantity of the bad wine of commerce.
our conversation drifted to point
where some allusion was made to my
friends strange intirmity, whereupon he
related the sad story of one unfortunate
incident of his life that we'll illustrates
the danger to which men of his calling
are exposed.
Grinsnoodle brushed the ashes from
his cigar and said :
During the winter of 1865 l was
employed in a newspaper establishment
in =, my position being that of local
accident man. L was the official chron-
icler of falling walls, runaway teams,
boiler explosions, and accidents result
ing from whatever cause. Did a dearth
exist in the body-mangling business, it
was my duty TO manufacture accidents
and locate them, and / was under bond
to furnish at least one sensation a day.
My relationship with the paper covered
period of nearly twenty months, dur
ing which time L sent to the hospital
several hundred male members of the
Smith family, together with few of
the Browns and Joneses. That is TO
say, these people were of straw, and
were sent up only upon paper by means
OF printers ink. i was led to make Sc
lections chiefly from the Smiths because
OF the great abundance on the market.

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon TO me,
Loved ones whoye crossed to the further side
The CLEAN Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue,
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold.
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view,
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates OF the city we could not see,
over the river-over the river
My brother stands waiting TO welcome me.
over the river the boatman pale
Carries another, the household pet
Her brown curs waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie l see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom barque.
We felt II glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be,
Over the river-the mystic river
My chidhood's idol Is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN of the snowy sail
And 10 they have passed from our yearning heart
Who cross the stream, and are gone for aye.
We NAV not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates OF day;
We only know that their barques no more
May sail with over life's stormy sea
Yet somewhere, I know, ON the unseen shore,
They watch and beckon, and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Il flushing river aud hill and shore,
l shall one day stand by the water cold =
And list for the sound OF the boatmans oar; Z
shall watch for CLEAN Of the tapping sail;
| shall hear the boat as II gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shores of the spirit land;
/ shall know the loved who have gone before;
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the riyer-the peaceful river
