A LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ.
Il was weary and ill at ease;
My fingers wandering idly
Ovor the solemn keys.
Knowing not what was playing.
Nor the things l was dreaming then.
sounded q chord of music
That thrilled like great amen!
Filling the crimson twilight,
With the soul of an ANGELS psalm.
1t lay on my tevered spirit
Tho touch Of holy calm.
Qnieting pain and sorrow
Like q Love o'er coming strife,
Ii seemed harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
Sinking perplexing meanings
In perfect hush Of peace.
And trembling away into silence.
As it IL were lOath to cease.
Seeking. but seeking vainly.
For that one lost chord divine,
Which came from the soul of the organ
And en- tered into mine
Trusting that deaths dim angel
May awake that chord again.
know that the hosts of Heaven
Shall return me the grand Amen.
a. THOU hast made thy world without.
Mako tnou moro falr my world within;
Shine thro' its lingering clouds of doubt,
Rebuke its haunting shapes of sin.

OF life with love to thee and man;

But let my last days be my best!"

A Mystery of Bologna.

A mysterious disappearance Of a
tragic character is reported from b.
logna. signor Cavagnati, publicprose-
cutor { Procur0tore del Re- at Piacenza,
where he was extremely popular, and
where ne was soon to be married to a
handsome young lady of high rank, had
lately gone to Bologna, in which place
and other parts of Romagna he had
been formerly employed in his official
capacity. One evening at II o. clock he
went home from a friendly party, in
which he had been extremely sociable.
and in the enjoyment of his usual spirits
accompanied bya friend, magistrate,
with whom he parted only few steps
from the house in which he was staying.
Since then he has not been seen or
heard of. Nothing in his room sug-
gested the idea that he had been at
home in the night. The man had no
reason to be dissatisfied with his lot in
life, nor had he at any time exhibited
symptoms ola gloomy or Responding dis
position. The general apprehension is
that he was kidnapped by secret foes,,
somewhere between the spot at which
he took leave of his friend and his own
door, and done away with privily by
men who have been till now able to eff
face every trace of their crime. The
event SIS connected, in, mems min 5,
with the late murder of the Councillor
Prefecture, Rolla, at Parma.

Tran for Cut Worms.

The American Agriculturist gives the
following: An old shovel handle is
split for about a foot with fine saw.
The split portion is soaked in boiling
water to soften it, and the ends are in
serted into holes made into hoop or
ring of wood two inches wide, one inch
thick, and eight inches in diameter. In
the bottom of the ring there are insert
ed a number of pieces of an old broom
handle projecting two inches and placed
not more than a quarter of an inch
apart. When this is pressed into the
earth around hill of corn or cabbage
plant, it leaves a circle of small round
holes two inches deep with compact
sides and bottoms The cut worms fail
into these holes in their nightly ram
bles, and they may be found and de-
stroyed in the morning. 49, 8

A correspondent of Appleton's Jour
nal writes as follows regarding this
great pyramid
"Aside from the theory advanced by
many learned men throughout Europe
that the real architect of the great Pyr-
amid, under King Cheops, was none
other than Melchizedek, and that the
mysterious mass was constructed by di-
vine inspiration, it is nevertheless true
that it contains al infinite number of
curious facts, embracing the mathemat-
ical, physical, astronomical, geograph-
zeal, and meteorological sciences, seem
ingly unknown at the date of its con-
struction-2,1 40 years before the advent
of Christ-and which have only been
revealed to us four thousand years later.
Among those facts which have recently
excited SO much attention and specula-
ton among the learned, we may quote
the following l. The relation of the
circumference of the circle to it's diam
eter, the solution as near as possible of
the great problem of the quadrature of
the circle. 2. The length of the rota-
tory axis of the earth. 3. The exact
distance Of the earth from the sun, in
computing which, modern astronomy,
only few years ago, made an error of
nearly two hundred and fifty million
miles. 4. The mean density, and con-
sequently the weight of the earth. 5.
The fixation of it's own date, and of the
singular astronomical circumstances
which accompanied it at the time when
the first of the Pleiades was at the
equinox of spring, and when one of the
most remarkable stars in the Egyptian
firmament-removed ninety degrees
from the Dragon-was the most bril-
liant or the most visible star in the
neighborhood of the pole. G. A meas
ure Of latitude, it being exactly thirty
degrees latitude north. 7. The geo
graphical centre of the earth's surface.
8. The geometrical centre of the great
Delta of the Nile, perhaps the greatest
and most fertilizing water course in the
known world. 8. An exact and logical
system Of weights and measures, con-
structed in accordance with invariable
principles, differing little from the
British system actually in force, but
opposed to the system of the French
metre. 10. A clearly established proph-
ecy foretelling the exodus from Egypt
The precise year of lrSaviour's advent
together with the chronological details
of his life and last, but not least,
figure of the end of the order of things
as at present established ----. -
The great Pyramid, in affording the
solution to so many problems, may we'll
be regardedas the mostmarvelous mon
ument of antiquity" 1885.

How Frenclman Does His Fishing.

A Paris correspondent of the, New
York Times tells how NJ. De la Rue, q
public man of some note in France,
goes fishing at his country place, as
follows -...
"He has domesticated the cormorant
III France. Nothing is more curious
than to see his favorite bird, cold
Tom," dive into the Seine at Corbeil
water in chase of a fleeing fish. With
patience and kindness the cormorant
can be easily trained. Before going out
for sport the birds are left for some
hours without food they are then taken
to the water, where cord is tied about
the neck loosely, In order to prevent the
cormorant from swallowing the fish
When ready, NJ. De la Rue sits Old
Tom upon tile edge of fiat -boat, and
he is speedily followed by Young Dick,
who watches every movement OF his SUI
perior in age. Presently Old Tom
makes dive, and Dick steps. into his
place. II the water is clear, one can
trace Toms rapid movements with the
eye, and watch the sharp turns madeby
him and the fish, as the latter makes
frantic efforts to escal e. IF he misses
his game, Tom comes up looking very
much ashamed of himself, and sits upon
the fat while Dick takes plunge. Ii
he catches the fish, as is generally the
case, he comes to the surface and gives
it toss into the air, catching it by the
head and letting it slide down into his
pouch, where it is stopped by the liga-
ture. The bird makes no opposition
when the fish is taken, and takes his
place for another dive. When the plu-
mage Of the cornaorant becomes saturat-
ed with water he becomes very heavy,
and then spreads himself in the sun to
dry, where he must be left III peace.
From time to time small fish is given
him to eat, the ligature being removed
for the purpose"

Kentucky Maids.

While it has always been an acknowl-
edged fact, says the Montgomery Re-
pu bl1can, that the Kentucky women are
the fa1rest in the Union, yet the half
has not been told of them. Their forms
are perfect models of ease and grace J;
ana there IS certain style and gesture
III t aelr walk which is not possessed by
one ut OF a thousand in the North.
Their features are regular and hand
some; their skin fair; light, heavy,
waving hair; dark blue eyes, and a
peachy bloom on their cheeks which
makes them almost irresistible to a
married man. Their forms are much
better developed than are Northern
women, and though slender enough
around the waist, their muscle is suf-
ficient to curb the fiery steed upon
whose back they take their morning ex-
ercise.

A Silly American.

The Paris correspondent of the Ar
cadian writes as follows: II must tell
you little history which will amuse
you. You have heard of Madame Ju-
die, who was once the star of the Ell
dorado, and who by dint of beauty, a
fine voice and much talent, has pushed
her way into the opera bouffe company.
Well, the other night, Madame Jude
was in her box assisting at first per-
Torrance, when 10! tap and gentle
tap, tap, tapping came upon her box
door. She opened it and there entered
IN unto her a man servant, with a curl
Gus present In his white cotton gloved
hands. It consisted of five red pinks
stuck through ring. Said ring was
set with diamonds and cats eyes and is
worth about e1, O0O With it was a
note, and the note read thus -
Madame, [ am an American. Iadore,
but have never spoken to you Accept
this gift from one who worships you,
but is obliged to go home to his wife

to be a pretty actress and get pretty
gifts from people who don't even know
you to speak to; but how dangerous it
is for wives in Boston to let their hus-
bands go all alone to Paris. May be
