One pedler overlook another on the
road : "IIallo, friend, what do you carry I"
"Itum and whiskey !" "You may go ahead,
carry gravestones."
There is story going the rounds of
the newspapers, that there is "a postmas-
ter in Illinois who draws salary of 81 per
annum. His object in seeking the office
was to get married and raise family.
"A Boston clergyman lately spoke of
seeing lady with the pear-drops OF af.
fiction hanging and glistening ON her
cheek" He meant that she was cry
ing.
The defence OF gentleman who had
deprived his noighbor of his turkey and
roasted it was that he found it on his fence,
and seized it in payment for rent for the
fence.
-"Humph !" said an Englishman to q
Scotchman, as they were walking over the

THE MAGICAL ISLE IN THE RIVE
OF TIME.

THE MAGICAL ISLE IN THE RIVER
OF TIME.
There's magical isle in the river of Time,
Whose softest of zephyrsar are straying,
Ard the air Is as sweet as musical chime,
O. the exquisite breath of q tropical cline
When June with the roses is staying.
IT'S there Memory dwells with her pale golden
And music forever is flowing;
While the low murmured tones, which come
tremblingly through
Sadly trouble the heart, and yet sweetcn 1t, too,
As South Winds DER waters, when blowing.
There arc shadowy hills in this fairy-likc isle
Where pictures of beauty are cleaning;
Yet the light of their eyes, and their sunny smile
Only flash round the heart with wildering vile,
And leave us, to know it's but dreaming,
And the name of the isle is "Thc Beautiful Past
And we bury our treasures there!
There are beings of beauty, too lovely to last
There are bosoms of snow with the dust DER
them cast
There are tresses and ringlets of hair.
There are fragments of song only Memory sings,
And the words of dear mothers prayer;
There's harp long unswept, and lutte without
strings,
There are flowers all wthcred, and letters, and
rings,
Hallowed tokens which Love used to wear.
Fen the dead, the bright, beautiful dead there
arise,
With their soft flowing ringlets of gold;
Though their voices are hushcd, and DER their
sweet eyes
The unbroken signet of silence now lies,
They are with us again as Of old.
In the stiffness of night hands are reckoning us
there,
And with joy, that is almost pain,
They delight to turn back and in wandering
there,
Through the shadowy halls of this island so fair
We behold our lost treasures again

CARvING.-Although it is a daily duty
TOR many men and women to cut up meat
for family, there are multitudes who do
it neither well orwise. The following sug-
gestlons, from an agricultural paper, on
this point, may not be out of place, the
more especially to young housekeepers
To carve fowls, which should always be
laid with the breast uppermost, place the
fork In the breast, and take off the wings
and legs, without turning the fowl; then
cut out the merry thought; cut slices from
the Breast cut out the collar bone cut off
the side pieces, and then cut the carcass in
two. Divide the joints in the leg of tur-
key.
In carving sirloin, cut thin slices from
the side next to you Git must he put on the
dish the tenderloin underneath then turn
it. Help the guests to both kinds.
In carving leg of mutton, begin by cut
ting across the middle to the bone.
Cut tongue across, and not length
wise, and help from the middle.
Carve fOrequarter of lamb by separa-
ting the shoulder from the ribs, and then
divide the ribs.
To carvea loin of veal, begin at the
smaller end and separate the ribs. Help
each one to piece of kidney and its fat
Carve mutton in the same way.
To carve a filet of veal, begin at the top
and help to the stuffing with each Slice
In breast ofveal, separate the breast and
brisket, and then cut up asking, which
part is preferred.

What Water Is.

On certain occasion one Paul Denton
Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised
barbecue, with better liquor than is usu-
ally furnished. When the people assem-
bled, desperate in the crowd cried out,
"Mr. Paul Denton, your reverence has lied.
You promised not only good barbecue,
but better liquor. Where's the liquor2"
"There !" answered the missionary, in
tones of thunder, and pointed his long,
bony finger at the matches double spring,
gushing up in two strong columns from
the bosom of the earth: There p he re-
peated, with look terrible US lightning,
while his enemy actually trembled at his
feet. There is the liquor which God, the
Eternal, brews for all his children. Not in
the simmering still, over smoky fire, chok
ed with poisonous gases and surrounded
with the stencil of sickening odors and cor
ruption, doth your Father in Heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life, pure cold
water; but in the glade and grassy dell,
where the red deer wanders and the child
loves to play, there God brews it; and
down, way down in the deepest valleys,
where the fountain murmurs and the rills
sing; and high up on the mountain tops,
where the naked granite gltters like gold
in the sun, where storm clouds brood and
the thunder storms crash and out, out on
the wild, wide sea, where the hurricane
bowls music and the big waves roar their
chorus, sweeping the march of God-there
he brews it-beverage of life, health-giving
water. And everywhere it is thing of
beauty, cleaning in the dew-d drop, singing
in the summer rain, shining in the ice gem,
till they seem turned to living Jewels !;
spreading a golden veil over the setting
sun, or white gauze around the midnight
moon; sporting in the cataract; sleeping
in glacier; dancing in the hail shower !;
folding its bright curtains softly around
the wintry world, and weaving the many.
colored iris, that seraph's zone of the air,
whose warp is the rain drops of the earth,
and whose wool is the sunbeams of heaven,
all checkered over with the celestial flow
ers of the mystic hand of refraction-that
blessed life-water. No poison bubbles on
its brink; its foam brings not madness and
murder; no blood stains its liquid glass ;
pale widows and starving children weep
not burning tears in its depths Speak out,
my friends, would you exchange it for the
demons drink, alcoholic"
A shout like the roar of the tempest an
sweled "No!'

The Pittsfeld Eagle says that in horse
case, tie other day, the lawyer was ques-
tioning witness in reference to the ami
mails habits and disposition. "Have you
ever driven her?" was asked. II have"
was the reply. WAS there any one with
you at the time?" was the next question.
"There was II lady with me-" the witness
answered, and he blushed little. "Was
she good drivcr2" was the next question,
the lawyer referring to the animal, but the
witness understanding that he meant the
lady. "She was" he replied. "Was she
gentle and kind J" asked the legal limb
and the reply was in the affirmative, though
the witness, still thinking of the lady, look
ed little surprised. "She didn't kick :"
was the next interrogation, and decisive
mo" was the answer. "She didn't rear up,
or kick over the traces, or put her hind feet
through the dashboard, or try to run away,
or act ugly, or''-the witness was boiling
over with indignation by this time, and in.
terrupted the lawyer with, "Do you mean
the horse or the lady2" II mean the mare
we're talking about" Numbered the
counsel "Oh!' was the response" thought
you meant the gall And with this expla.
nation the pursuit of juctice was resumed

TIE Six FoLLIEs OF ScIENcE.-T The six

SLATE PENCILs.-Twenty years ago, all
the slate pencils used in America came
from Germany. In 1850, young man in
West Rutland, VT, eighteen years of age,
discovered supply of stone from which
he could make as good slate pencils a,
were sold in the stores. He began by
whiting them out and selling the rough
articles to school children. He bought
the quarry for one hundred dollars, and
commenced operations on limited scale
in saving out pencils. The business grew
on his hands, machinery was invented to
facilitate the process, and to-day upwards
of hundred men manufacture daily over
$4,000 pencils The mills are valued at
$500. 900.

STORMS IN THE Subtitle result of OBJ
servations now being taken, show that
storms rage upon the sun with violence
of which we can form no conception. Hur-
ricares sweep over its surface with terrific
violence. Vast cyclones wrap its fires into
whirlpools, at the bottom of which our
earth could lie like boulder in q volcano.
Huge flames dart out TO enormous distances,
and fly over the sun with speed greater
than that of the earth itself through space.
At one time cone of fire shot out $4,000
miles, and then died away all in ten min
utes time. Beside such awful commissions,
the mimic display of a terrestrial volcano
or earthquake sinks into insignifcance.
The above is from the pen of Prof J..
d. Steele, and is based upon discoveries
made by scientific men who have recently
taken trip to the terrible luminary over
our heads with the spectroscope.

THE LOUISIANA BRIBERY BUSINESS.

|. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The Tri-
bune's dispatch to-day from New Orr
leans abounds In rich Developments af-
fecting the Radical leaders at Washing
ton. Mr.. VIM. T.. Chandler, whose name
Is unpleasantly associated with Southern
cotton and cotton claims, seems from
these letters to have been the general
outside manager of Kellogg's case,
while Gov. Morton engineered 1t In
Congress. Billings writes, on the 9Th
of December, 1873, that he had sspre-
pared Il brief for Morton, at his request,
and that he (Morton) would go into
Committee "fully prepared" Gov.
Morton's letter to Kellogg shows a
lively interest in .'his dear Kellogg's''
case, and gives advice as to its manage
ment.
On the 18th of January Congressman
Darrall writes to Kellogg that there Is
danger OF Grants going back on them,
the motive being to get brother-in.laW
Casey in the United States Senate as u
move for the third term. He says
that "Darrall's case looks bad, though
ii Morton is active enough he may save
him. Darrall, he adds, has Chandler
employed. There are also letters from
Sypher and Attorney General Dibble,
which show the character of the plot
against Louisiana. The whole will
make very unpleasant reading for
Republicans, add especially the par
ties implicated. These revelations are
SO damaging that all the parties caught
are now coming out with explanation
and denials of the Credit Mobilier
Congressman in October, 1872, when
for tho first time that cat was let out of
the bag Cincinnati Enquirer.
