QUEER VISITING CARDs.-Everybody in
Central and North Eastern Vermont
knows, either personally or by reputation,
Hon. l. n. Hall, of Groton, who is Meth
odist of the straitest sect, abhoring such
denominations of the devil as playing cards,
etc. Last year Judge Hall went TO Cali
fUrnia, 10 visit a son, and while there found
he needed some visiting cards. Going into
a store, he inquired for plain cards, intend
ing to write his name, etc., on them, but
the attendant understood him playing
cards, and threw out a pack, on the out
side being "the JOKER" or white one. The
Judge took look at this, and thought the
back rather gorgeous, but supposing that
was the style in that rather cloud" country
he paid for and took them. Soon having
occasion 10 use one, he wrote his name
and address on this ''jOker," and left it, af-
ter which he wended his way to his stop
ping place without disturbing the balance
OF the pack. In his room be laid down his
cards, and went out. His son entering the
apartment soon afler with a friend, saw
them, and TO while away the time the two
began playing. When the Judge return
ed he was horritied at The situation, and
asked "lhe boys" what they we're aboutH
"Only using your visiting cards. father"
was the reply. Burning with indignation.
the Judge seized aud attempted 10 throw
the offending pasteboards into the fire, but
the slippery thiHgs instead few all over
the room, and just al that moment in came
several gentlemen To see the Judge! In
agine the tableau. Argus.

THE CAVE OF CACAHUAMILPA IN MEX
Ico.-At the recent scientific convention ut
Hartford, Mr.. Porter C. Bliss, late Secre-
tary of the American Legation in Mexico,
gave an account Of visits made by him
to what purports to be the largest cavern in
the world, consisting of series of broad
and LOFTY halls extending upon the same
level for COCO metres, with numerous later
al passages extending still farther TO an
immense distance into the heart of lolty
range of mountains. 1t abounds In colos-
sal pillars and mammoth stalacttes and
stalagmiles of fanciful forms, such as or
gans and fountains. Underneath this cave,
at level two or three hundred feet lower,
the mountain is traversed by two rivers of
considerable size which enter the noun
tains halfa mile apart, and ater flowing
nearly parallel about five miles emerge
from the mountain in close proximity,
forming thenceforth single river, which
is one of the chief affiuents of the Mexioa-
la. The orihces in the solid rock from
which these rivers proceed were described
as being large enough TO admit the Hart
ford Slate House. Fragments of timber
are frequently hoated through the noun
tain, but these subterraneous river beds
have never been explored. Thousands OF
bats aud nocturnal birds make their abode
in the mouths of these caves.

Certainly Jerry had not improved in APP
pearence that was quite true. His swar-
thy face and small, gltterlng eyes, black
and restless, constantly suggested that Oh
noxious foreign origin which the neigh
bors never could get over. But Jerry, shy
as some wild creature, troubled the neigh
bors but little; only once in while they
caught glimpses Of him setting out shore
ward with his fishing line, or late of an
evening strolling along the sands with Deb,
who never wore the old sun-bonnet now,
having replaced 1t with a broad-brim mmed
gypsy, always gay with knot of crimson
flowers. ''She could afford 1t now" she
said, "since Jerry had come home"
Aud never could any one bring Deb to
see any thing amiss with her boy. To all
cavilers she pointed with pride to her trim
garden, rescued from sand and weeds,
where occasionally Of a twilight afternoon
you might catch a glimpse of the ragged
straw hat and turned up trowsers in which
the long-waited for prince did duty in the
potato patch or weeded the cucumber bed.
"There never was such boy for work :"
says bis mother, watching him dreamily
from the porch and il he had come home
a millionaire or a merchant prince, you
could see no difference in the light of the
mother-eyes beaming upon him.

The idea that in the golden millennium
to come, when men are freed from the ig-
uorance and weakness which now beset
them, this soca freedom may be possible
md desirable, is the most mis- eading of
all. II is founded on the fancy tia. tie
family is an expedient aud tue community
The great social unlt but the family rea-
tion will increase In glory and beneicence
as the race advances towards purity and
perfection. There Is nothing in our Anglo
Saxon history 80 radient as the influence
of the family, the bonds between parent
and child aud brothers and sisters. The
home has been the focus Of all good in
fiuences the source of purity and virtue;
II has given religion the power, aud all
there is of honor and integrity its strength
and beauty. The home and the family
must ever constitute the we'll springs
which give health to social life; aud, as
we go on raising the standard of human
character, divesting IL of meanness and
iniquity, cleansing 1t of impurity and Civ
ing II strength and symmetry, the home
and family will become more and more
the centre for this great work, till in the
far-otf perfection of human life, The millen-
mum Of which sages dream, IL will stand
free from the sufferings and misery which
come from our imperfections, more than
ever sacred and precious. The home with
its mighty power for good should be de-

Early Cultivation OF the Oy.,.r.

For creature OF such lowly rank in the
scale OF animate being, it is wonderful
what literature attaches TO the oyster.
Through the roll of the ages it has buen a
factor Of prime Importance in the convivial
instincts, the moralities, and the indus
classic song and story. When imperial
Rome bad her many million populace, and
her almost fabulous wealth, the oyster fig
ured prominently in The more than lavish
luxury of that extravagant city. Do our
oyster-growers know how ancient their
calling is? About 2,400 years ago one
Sergius OrAta, man OF a practical mind,
turned Lake Avernus into a oyster bed /;
and through his culture OF this bivalve the
Lucrin oysters, as they were called, be-
came in reputation the "Saddle-Rocks" of
Rome. And what splendid market be had!
His practical genius carried the new in
dustry of oyster-planting to great perfec-
ton; and such was his reputation in that
line that the Romans had saying that,
should the oysters stop growing in Lucrin
Lake, Sergius would make them grow on
the tops Of The houses. Avernus has at
last succumbed TO the mutations of time,
and is to-day miserable hole of volcanic
mud. 1t now offers good opportunity to
test the great mans abilities; but Sergius
Orata himself "dried up some time ago.

SECRETARY STANToN's DEATH-A
STRANGE STORY OF SUIcIDE.-What Jerry
Black has darkly hinted is now boldly
stated in some Of the papers, that Secretary
Stanton FASTENED his death, during the
last days of his despondng illness, by
partially successful attempt TO cut his own
throat. II was one Of bis customs, runs
the now extraordinary revelation. TO be
shaved at home, and the duty was per-
formed by colored barber who came reg
ularly for the purpose. In Mr.. Stantons
private apartment stood an improvised
shaving chair, and to this the trusty valet
would go at the appointed time to perform
his duty. Mr.. Stanton had been apparent
ly failing gradually in health for a week,
and had become so respondent as to al
most excite fears of an alteration of the
mind. On the evening of the 23d of De-
cember, the colored valet called to shave
Stanton. They were left alone in the pri-
vate apartment, and Stanton took his seat
In the chair. The barber had partially
finished his task, and, laying down the ra-
zor on a III tie table beside Stanton, step
ped across the room for some water. A
movement startled him, and he turned
just in time to see the glstening steel flash
by the barred throat, leaving a streak in its
wake. Rushing 10 the side of Stanton, the
barber caught the razor before another
stroke could be made. He called for help,
and in few moments there were at the
bedside the surgeon-general, a few trusty
attaches of the government, and one or
two members OF the family. The work
had been done, however and the life cur
rent reached. AT 8 o'clock, next morning
stanton was dead. How well the secret OF
his death has been kept, those who read
this may know.

What is the restraining inhuencef
Similar conduct on the part OF tribe
of men would be unhesitating attributed
to rude sort of religious feeling; and Sir
John Lubbock wonders whether some
thing of the kind may not actuate these
ants, whether they do not regard their
helpless though relatively gigantic wards
with feeling akin to reverence. Is it pos
sibe that they have arrived at stage OF
development parallel with that of the bee
tle-worshipping Egyptlans1
In our pride of bulk, we despse the ants
for their lttleness. But suppose they we're
as big as horses, proportionately strong for
their size, as thoroughly organized and az
Intelligent as they now are, where would

A Hearts Lament.

When Eephyrs breathe
In accents sweet,
And tender songs
or old repeat
'Tis thoul Ills thoui
'Tis thy sweet kiss
That comes to wrap
Ny soul in bliss.
From depths Of gloomy glade
Thy step seem to trace,
And oft thy lonely shade
clasp in fond embrace.
But as thy form
Ny touch evades,
Ny kisses warm
Fly thro' the shades.
But while rave
No echoes start;
Thy real grave
Is in my heart.
While calm repose
Rests DER the vale,
Ny soul then knows
lny spirit pale
1t DER me floats;
see thee stfll;
Thine olden notes
Ny senses thrill
My heart with grief is rent,
live in mournful gloom.
o spirit blest consent
That may share thy tomb.
But as thy form
My touch vades,
Ny kisses warm
Fly thro' the shades.
But while rave
No echoes start;
Thy real grave
Is in my heart.
