MOUNT TABOR.

On Tabor's height glory came,
And, shrined in clouds OF lambent flame,
The awe struck, hushed disciples saw
Christ and the prophets Of the law;
Moses, grand and awful face
OfSinai's thunder bore the trace,
And wise Elias, in his eyes
The shade Of Israeps prophesies,
Stood In that vast mysterious light
Than Syrian moons more purely bright,
One on each hand-and high between
Shone forth the GOd-like Nazarine.
They bowed their heads in holy fright,
No mortal eyes could bear the sight,
And when they looked again, behold
The fiery clouds had backward rolled,
And borne al0ft In grandeur lonely.
Nothing was left "save Jesus only"
Resplendent type Of things to be!
We read its mystery to-day
With clearer eyes than even they,
The fsner saints Of Galilee.
We see the Christ stand out between
The ancient law and faith serene,
Spirit and letter-but above
Spirit and letter both was Love;
Led by the hand Of Jacobs God
Through wastes Of old path was trod
BY which the savage world could move
Upward through law and faith to love.
And there IN Tabor's harmless flame
The crowning revelation came.
The old world knelt in homage due,
The prophets near in reverence drew,
Law ceased its mission to fulfil
And love was lord on Tabor hill.
So now, while creeds perpleX the mind
And wranglings load the weary mind,
When all the air is filled with words
And texts that ring like clashing swords,
Still, as for refuge, we may turn
Where Tabor's shrining glories burn
The soul OF antique Israel gone
And nothing left but Christ alone.

THE Cincinnati Musical Festival, the
greatest undertaking of the kind ever at
tempted in America, commences this
evening. Everything has been done that
human foresight could suggest. and the
management now only ask that the audi
ence be in place before the hour Of COM
mencing. The doors will be open at $3.50
and Mr.. Thomas specially requests that
all be seated in the hour thus allowed.
The request is one SO reasonable in itself
and so proper on this occasion that we
feel sure Cincinnati people will take a
pride in showing how fully they can
comply with 1t.

A most horrible accident occurred at
Potsdam last Friday. Messrs. Corank-
ske q Buetow have wind grist mill
there. On Friday OF last week, the
windmill became unmanageable by rea-,
son of q high wind. A number OF men
were gathered about, and four of them
went up into the tower supporting the
windmill, to endeavor to turn the ma
chinery so as to throw the fan
into the wind. The party was
headed by VIM. A. McCarran,
twenty-seven years, who worked at a
blacksmith shop at Potsdam. The others
who went with him were John Harlt,
August Tradup and Henry Peters. On
going to the top of the tower the men
were crowded into very small space on
platform about three feet wide, and
McCarran, standing on u timber and in a
cramped position, thrust a crowbar into
the machinery, which was running at d
fearful rate, to stop 1T; but the motion OF
the machinery threw MIN off his balance,
and his foot slipped under large cog
wheel. AS he felt himself drawn into the
machinery, he cried out, "Boys, save
me; Pm caught" and couple Of the
men standing by caught him by the legs
and body and tried to draw him out.
They held ON to him until he WAS drawn
| in nearly up to his shoulders, when find
ing they could not help him, but were In
great danger of being themselves drawn
lin, they let 60, and one OF them, Henry
Peters, jumped distance Of twenty
ieet to the landing below in the tower.
He was bruised, but not seriously hurt.
Poor McCarran's last words were
those given above; he is thought
| to have died almost at once
after uttering them. His body
was rapidly drawn in, and passed
through u space of not more than two
inches in width, between the wheel and
timber, crushing it into pulp Of quiy-
ering, bleeding flesh, held together by
the torn clothing, and hanging from the
timbers in horrid. shapeless mass.
Ire arms and part OF one of the legs
were not so thoroughly crushed, but
were badly torn and mangled by the
cogs. The whole body was passed
through in this way, clear to the head,
which was stopped by crow bar that
had been left in the wheel by one OF the
men. The head was afterwards severed
from the body with knife, in order to
extricate it. All this we are told, took
place within two or three minutes. The
tower was dripping with blood. The
Mortified men attempted to stop the mill
lby crowding grain into the stones, bu.

When BENJAMIN Franklin was a lad. h

When Benjamin Franklin was a lad. he
began to study natural philosophy and
soon became fond ofapplying technical
names to common objects. One evening
when he mentioned to his father that he
had swallowed some marine acephalous
mollusks, the old man was much alarmed,
and suddenly selzing him called loudly
for help. Mrs. Franklin came with some
warm water, and the hired man rushed
in with a garden pump. They forced
half gallon OF water down Behjamin's
throat, then held him by the heels over
the edge Of the porch and shook him,
while the old man said, III we don't git
them things out Of Benny, he will be
pIzened, sure.,, When. they were out
and Benjamin explained that the arti-
cles alluded to were merely oysters, his
father fondled him for half an hour with
q trunk strap tor soaring the family.
Tradition adds that ever afterward
Franklin's language was marveiously
simple and explicit.

protracted, and his experiments were

less watching for long day with brass

titic enthusiast.
theory to reach the important results of
his experiments. 1t was imagined by
his cotemporarles that a food of light
was now thrown upon the mysterious
principle oflife. Galvani published an
account of his discoveries in 1791, and
within year all the boys of Europe
were hunting frogs for the use of the
wise men, as well as for the gourmands.
Alexander Volta, of the University of
Payia, followed up these experiments
with the greatest success. Galvani
held that the electricity originated in the
animal, but Volta proved that it origin
ated in the contact Of disslmilar metals.
The warmest controversy that science
has known followed for six years, and
until the death of Galvani in 1708. From
Volta sprung the uoltaic pile, or, as we
now call it, the Voltaic battery.
But Volta, though he pursued the in
vestigation for thirty years, was unable,
by reason of the erroneous doctrine he
defended, to realize how great boon he
had been instrumental in comforting
upon mankind.
The experiments of these pioneers in
electrical science enabled subsequent
investigators like Oessted, Seebeck,
Arago; Ampere, Faraday and Henry, to
perfect this branch of science, and such
inventors as Steinheil, .Wheatstone,
Morse and Thompson, TO produce in
'genious instruments and appliances by
which great practical results have been
realized. Bow grateful mankind should
feel to the frog for what he has done for
civilization! But for him the telegraph
and many other great inventions would
still be in the distant'tuture.

the spinal column will be elevated to
that supreme Importance which the
brain has hitherto monopolized.
The two cities just now most inter-
ested in brains are Chicago and St..
Louis. The former feels flattered by the
late observation Of W Wendell Phillips that
Chicago was fifty years, ahead of St.
Louis, because she had brains while the
city of the Mississippi had not. Of
course Wendell is held to be very
great man in Chicago, while St. Louis
says that he is 'crack- Drained and addle-
beaded" st. Louis has our sympathy.
Perhaps the light which DR.. Hammond's
frogs are throwing on the spinal cord
will give her some comfort.

MARRIAGE.
BY IVY.

In grand Natures expansive cathedral,
April's footballs came softly and slow,
With garlands of vine-wrea thS and moses,
And blossoms In rich-yarled glow.
With mists from her lOw-drooping eyelids,
And below them her light sunny smiles,
For her hands were TO weave lof bridal
In the wOOu-chUrch Of grey-Piilared alsIes.
The pillars she weaves in vine-wreathing,
In tangled low droopings OF green,
While here and there, white starry blossoms
With artistic contrasting between.
Next, DER a tree-bough (the altar,
A marriage-bell light must be made,
OF milky-White blossoms OF hawthorn,
HWith dainty fresh clusters inlaid.
Came Zephyr, in white boyish vestments,
His IMPLICATED censor to swing,
That soft o 'er the pure marriage-nuptials
A rare-Odored incense TO fling.
Next Thunder the minister, entered,
At notes from the bird-chOir DER head,
And murmured low. craving of blessing,
For the young two, so soon to be wed.
Near the altar, slow came the brides mother
Lady Lake, in her rOblnss OF dun,
On the arm of the groom's revered faith er,
The kiDgly and brilliant Lord sun.
Came the groom, handsome Beam, stately
graceful;
On his love a sly glance from his eye;
Her gaUze veil with jewels enwOven
With crystal drops fr, sh from the sky.
Fair Mist and bright Beam softly pausing
Just under the hawthornes white bell;
Then Thunder, in solemn grand murmurS,
Blends the two in the great marriage spell.
Lord sun with bright smiles greets his chill
dren;
Lady LaE e, mid her tears, softly kissed;
The bird choir burst forth in grand music
On tie sunbeam and daughter, fair Mist.
Has marriage a type that's more lovely?
so perfectly painted below?
Beam and Mist, by loves magic united,
And forming the marriage rainbow?
An unmarried man is stray beam;
Single woman mist floating by;
Yet in marriage are beauteOus blended
A rainbow responding Gods sky.

THE RAINBOW.

A LEGEND FROM THE cERsrNs;, EY LIDE.
On a cloud OF pearl and azure, sailing slowly
sat the favored a,iry handmade in Tltania's
The sum1aer sunlight gIinted through her
A. she iook rom out her ca.ket string Of
costly pears.
With a laugh, the little fairy held her treas
ures high in air,
Thinking that The sunbeams' glitter would
make them still more fair,
For diamonds shine with borrowed light, the
worlds applause 10 win,
But oceans lears, Ike loving hearts, shed IA
dance from within.
Behind the elm maiden, as she laughed in
sat Puck, me waggish fairy, born for teasing
He cut the string, and down TO earth the
priceless treasures flew,
And Scattered DER grass and flowers Ike drops
OF morning dew.
The little maid flew after them, her heart was
sore afraid,
her search repaid;
The clouds made haste to help her, but they
gathered dew In vain,
The ocean tears so lightly lost were never
found again.
Now Puck sat weaving many plans within
For though he loved TO laugh at her, he would
not give her pain,
SO down he dipped within the earth, and
sought their darkSOme homes,
And held a solemn council with his ugly
friends, the GnOmes,
Gay, cleaning ore they brought him, and
shining spauglss, too,
And holding them within a shell, aIoft he
gayly flew,
Then lightly dancing round her, his waggIsh
head ne tossed,
Saying "here are jewels brighter tar than
any you have lost"
The clouds left Of their weeping. and the
fairy laughed in glee,
But when she locked more closely at the flash
ing trumpery
She shook the shells in anger, with loud and
bitter cry.
When 10, a radiant circle spanned the glow
ing summer sky.
Now often when the grieving clouds weep out
their woes in rain
Puck brings his spangles, and the play j.
acted DER again;
But like the ill-gOt gold that CLEANS in many
wTetched homes,
IT'S but a vain, deceitful shOw-a present from
the GnOmes.
