$50 WAY Dar."

In this town there is an old Emphatic
negro, who has wonderful large feet, and
is always ready to take rest. One day,
while lying upon the cabin floor slum-
bering, with his feet presented to sim
mering fire, he opened one eye little,
and getting a glimpse of the dark object,
he mistook them for two little negroes,
and cried out, 'sGet fun fore me, | say!
kick you in the fire if you don't-I will,
shuah.'' and again he snored His
dreams not being pleasant, he finally
opened both eyes, and still seeing the
pests, he drew up his feet for the threat
ened kick, but alarmed to see the enemy
advance upon him, beloved out. Wha-
war you comm to now? Go way dar!.'

Poetry.
The Pilgrims of the Plains.

They climbed the rock built breasts o
earth
The Titan-fronted, browy sleeps
That Graded Time. Where Freedom keeps
Her flag of white blown stars unfurled,
They turned about, they saw the birth
of sudden dawn upon the world
a gain they gaze, they saw the face
of God, and named it boundless space.
And they descended ana did roam
Through leyelled distances set around
By room. They saw tie silences
Move by and beckon; saw their forms,
Their very boards, ofttime in storms,
And heard them talk like silent seas,
On unnamed heights black brown and b,own
And torn like battlements of Mars
They saw the darkness come down.
Like curtains loosened from the dome -
Of Gods cathedral, built of stars.
They saw the snowy mountains rolled,
Aud heayed along the nameleSs lands
Like mighty pillows, saw the gold
Of awful sunsets, saw the blush
Of sudden dawn, and felt the hush
vi Heaven when the day sat down,
And hid his face in dusky hands:
Then pitched the tent, where rivers run
As If TO drown the fallen sun.
The long AMI lonesome nights; the tent
That nestled soft in sweep of grass;
The hills against the armament
Where scarce the moving moon could pass:
The cautious camp, the smoothered light,
The silent sentinel at night
The wild beasts bowling from the hill
The troubled cattle believing ;
The savage prowling by the spring,
Then sudden passing swift ana still,
And Bonded us a bow is bent.
The arrow sent; the arrow spent,
And buried in its bloody place,
The dead man lying on his face
The clouds Of dust, their cloud by day,
Their pillar of unfailing fire,
The far north Star. And high, ard higher,
They climbed so high it seemed eftsoon,
That they must face the falling moon,
That like some flame lit ruin Law
Thrown down before their weary way.
They learned to read the sign of storms,
The moons wide circles, sunset bars,
A md storm provoking blood and flame;
A nd like the Chaldean shepherds came
At night to name the moving stars;
md in the heavens pictured forms
)f beasts and fishes Of the sea;
md marked the great bear YEARLY
Rise up and drag his clinking chain
)f stars around the starry main.

Dan Rice and His Creditors.

At the first meeting of Dan Rice's cred
itors, the Register OF the Court reported
that not single creditor appeared, in
consequence of which the would-be bank
rupt had to select the assignee himself,
and Henry Ball, of Girard. was accord
ingly chosen. "When Dan filed his pc
tition." says the Pittsburg Leader, cit
will be remembered he put down his liza
bilities at about S85,000, the creditors
numbering about two hundred persons,
while his assets, all told, consisted of n
suit of clothes valued a. $780, which it is
supposed is what now encases the show
mans frame As it costs one dollar-and-a "a
half of fees for creditor to swear to a
claim, Dams creditors thought it useless
to squander dollar-and-a-half for the
purpose of getting about square inch
of clothing in return, and that's why none
put in an appearance at the netting OF
dered before Register Woodruff. Ii a
single creditor swears to his claim at the
second meeting, and Dan can get him to
consent to compromise he will be rid
of his $85, 900 worth of debts by the sac
rifce OF that suit of clothes alone, and be
prepared to start forth again afresh'

MECHANICAL FORCE OF

Itmay not be.altogether premature to
takea survey ofthe possible applications
of the new power which Mr.. William
Crooks has shown to be derivable from
light. Seeing that, by means Of the SUMS
direct rays he, has been able 70 cause
the vanes Of his small-radiometer TO re-
yolve four times in second, it becomes
evident that, with larger and improved
appliances, we may hope to obtain mo-
tive power cheaply from a practically in
exhaustable source, namely, the sun it.
SELF The fact that luminous undulations
are capable of exerting motive force, of
a nature so gross as that required to turn
the vanes of a poised cross, will also rem
der the comprehension of the chemical
disturbances which are often effected by
light, and which are exemplified in the
union of chlorine with hydrogen when
exposed to sunlight, in the production of

also absorb grease, and when exposed to

OLEOMARGERINE,
A STORY TO BE TAKEN WITH
MANY GRAINS OFALLOWANCE

In lengthy description of an Eastern
butter factory, the New York Er'ntng PoS'
tells us how an eleomargerine is made
The material used in making artificial
butter is not, as many suppose, scraps Of
fat of all kind, tainted suet, refuse, or the
gcrapings of the slaughter house, but it is
the finest fat contained in the carcass OF
beef. When the cattle are slaughtered
at Jersey City man employed by the
butter-makers carefully removes the "cut
fat" until a thousand pounds or more
are collected, when the load is conveyed
quickly to the factory and immersed in
cold water.
II comes forth perfectly clean and is
soon converted into the finest mince
meat by means of chopping machine
Then it is placed in vat surrounded by
steam, and subjected to temperature OF
from l25 to 1870 degrees. A liquid oil
flows out Of this vat, while all solid mat
ter drops to its bottom and is rejected,
When cooled the oil is clean in appear
ance, of pale straw color, and rather
soft in consistency. 1t is then packed in
muslin bags, which are placed in presses
between sheets of zinc, and heated from
A temperature of from eighty to ninety
degrees The lower temperature at which
the oleomargarine, as it is called, can be
rendered, the better the ultimate product,
The tallow remains in the bags, and is
sold for making candles or soap
The butter oil is turned into churn
with q quantity of sweet milk, little
annatto is added for coloring the butter,
and after about half an hours churning
the mass is drained of the milk and turn
ed out upon a working table. 1t is tEen
treated as fresh butter is treated in
dairies. In appearance it is precisely the
same, and it has the sweet fresh smell
ACCOMMODATING new butter made from
milk. The factory is now making about
four thousand pounds of butter week,
which is all taken as rapidly as It can be
dehyersdy and is consumed principally
in New York city.
The question will probably be asked,
Who eats it? 1t would be hard to say
who has not eaten some of fitatone time
or another since the manufacture began,
as Il has found its way to the tables Of
many who pay the highest price for the
best dairy butter; and the prejudice
against the article, which would doubt
less have kept it out of the market if it
had been put upon tables as suet butter,
has not prevented fair trial of the pro-
duct. Some amusing incidents are told
of the way in which experts have been
misled by it-one of the most prominent
procers in this city having eaten the
manufactured butter for week without
detecting the deceit, A well known
chemist in this city made a thorough
test of it in his house without letting his
family into the secret until they had
used it for six weeks, by which time
they had swallowed their prejudices,
The butter as now made is said by those
who have fairly tried it to be almost
identical in taste with dairy butter, and
its appearance is natural that grocers
who have handled the natural product
for years have been deceived by the ar
tificial. III

The VALLEY RAILROAD.

The following circular, which was
lately issued by the Board of Directors
of the Valley railway, will explain it.
self:
Owing to the unsettled condition of the
money market, and especially to the
lack in confidence in all railroad securi-
ties, the valley Railway Company have
been unsuccessful.
Having undiminished confidence in
the great value and ultimate success of
the enterprise, ,3and feeling confdentthat
the stockholders share in that faith, and
being assured by reliable and intelligent
parties that the bonds of the company
could readily be sold at satisfactory pri-
ces as soon as a portion of the road was
completed and doing business, the direc-
tors have resolved to offer to each stock
holder to double the amount Of stock
held by each, the seven per cent. Gold
Bonds of the company at eighty cents
upon the dollar with accrued interest.
The subscription tor said bonds to be
binding after six hundred thousand dol
lars are thus subscribed for, and payment
to be made thereafter as follows: one
fourth in ninety days after said amount
is raised, and the balance in three yearly
payments thereafter.
In making thisproposition to the stock
holders, the board desire to assure them
that repeated propositions have been re-
ceived by the Board of Directors to take
these bonds upon terms which would
jeopardize, the interests of the stocKhol-
ders, but in view of the real vslue of the
enterprise, theIcheap construction of the
work thus far, and character Of these

declined.
