TRUTH.-How beautiful is truth ! In this
world, where there is SO much falsehood and
deceit, whereby hearts are estranged, and re-
examinations, assaults and crimes engendered
how beautiful are the true thought, word
and deed. Like the sun smiling out amid the
angry storm-2lke friend clasping the hand of
lance of virtue ringing on the shield of vice.
like heaven upon earth, and Cod IN man, is
Truth Precious and Priceless. Bearer than
the smile Of friend, love of parent or pomp
of fame Truth is all. BY this we know the
nature and value of things. Falsehood is a
craven, a bastard Truth is bold, noble, and
God-giyen, beyond every other attribute Of
the soul.--HasS.

MISCELLANY.
a LITTLE GIRLS ExTRAORDINARY
FEAT,


Jennie Lawson is a member of the second
class in the Eighteenth street Female Gram
mar School, New York citys The other day
a number IF arithmctcal examples were givefi
ttit for solution; but thrcb Of Thorn; in per-
centage, requiring long processes Of division,
resisted all Jennies efforts to secure the cor
rect answer. This circumstance seemed to
them again and again without success, she
went home determined by persistent effort to
find out where her error was, and she con
tinued to strive until long after Che rest of the
family had retired Towards midnight her
mother, who slept in an adjoining room, call
ed to her daughter that she had better go to
bed, lest she should be late in rising the next
day. The girl at once retired, and in few
moments was fast asleep. About an hour
afterwards Mrs Lawson was again awakened
by sudden noise In her daughters bed
ei.a..sbs., -,si.islA than In antira darlsness
She called but receiving no answer, arose to
see what was the matter. Jennie was sitting
at her desk, and had apparently just complet-
ed some work on her slate, the noise having
been made by the falling of a ruler from the
table to the floor The girl was fast asleep
Mrs. Lawson did not wake her at that time,
and on the following day it was after noon
before the girl could be reused from the deep
sleep in which she seemed to be. Upon
awakening, Jennie spoke of the problems,
aud expressed her intention of making
further trial at their solution. Upon getting
the slate she found them completely solved in
her own hand, each liue neatly ruled and the
agiring without the slightest error. At this
she was greatly surprised. Her last know
ledge Of the puzzling examples was of leaving
them unsolyed on the night before. OF her
performances in her sleep size knew when
awake absolutely nothing, and her mother not
having mentioned the incident, left her the
more bewildered. The next school day the
girl brought the work to school and related
the incident attending it to her teacher. The
room was entirely dark, the girl soundly
asleep during the working out of test examp-
pies. She had never before shown any symp-
toms Of sleep-working, nor have any Of her
relatives been SO affected.

ANEcDoTE OF HENRY WILsoN.-We give,
on the authority of Mr.. Il. b. Carpenter, n
notable story Of Henry Wilson, that has new
er yet been published. The evening before
his inauguration as Vice. President he called
ON Mr.. Sumner and said % Summer, can your
lend me hundred dollars? have not got
money enough to be inaugurated on" Mr.
Summer replied, g Certainly. If it had been
a large sum might not have been able to help
you but | can always lend friend hun
bred dollars.'' He then gave Mr.. Wilson a.
check for the amount and after the latter
had retired, Mr. Summer, turning to Mr.. Car
penter, remarked sThere is an incident
worth rememberiDg--su one as could new
er have occurred in any country but our OWL"
That cancelled check, II still IN existence,
with Senator Summers signature on its face
and Vice President Wilson'S on the back,
would be a very desirable autograph. The
statement has been published that Mr.. Wilson
left property worth only $4,000, OF which 3d.
600 is IN house in Natick and SO, 900 in mis-
cellaneous securities. This is all he had saw
ed after a long life in the service where none
but the most scrupulous man would have fail
ed to amass wealth. 1t was OF the utmost i'm
portance that an honest man should be, dur
ing the war; chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs.
He could save nothing from his salary, and
the five thousand dollars which he left behind
him represents the So, 1870 which he had re-
ceived for laborious literary labor done on the
Independent Independent.

" THE MEANEsT WOMAN. THE Christian
"meanest woman IN New York . She lives
in fashionable quarter Of the town. In the

ing to the inmates of one OF the institutions
for reforming and saving women supposed to
be lost. When the work was done, and we'll
done; the fashionable and charitable lady was
not ready 20 pay Che bill, which amounted TO
$12. The same work, if it had been done at
fashionable dressmaker's would have cost
$25, perhaps $50. She had no complaint to
make about the work done, but haggled
about the price, and as she gave out the work
in charity. she thought, probably, that the
charity should be extended to her and not to
the poor sewing womafi.f
One month passed away and another and
six more, while this wealthy and charitable

n these few pretty lines:
Some day, we say, and turn eyes
Toward the far hill of paradise.
Some time some day, our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory.
Some day their hands shall clasp hands
just over in the Morning Lands
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong,
Some day, some time, but OH not yet,
Bat we will wait and not forget.
That some day all these things shall be,
And rest be given to you and me.
So wait, my friend though years move slow,
The happy time will come, we know.

POETRY.
AGE


As the barometer foretells the storm,
While still the skies are clear, the weather warm,
So something in us, as old age draws near,
Betrays the pressure of the atmosphere.
The nimble mercury, ere we are aware
nescehds the elastic ladder of the air;
The tell-tale blood In artery and vein
Sinks from its higher levels in the brain;
Whatever poet, orator, or sage
May say Of it old age Is still old age.
II is the waning, not the crescent moon,
The dusk of evening. not the blaze of noon.
II Is hot Strength, but weakness; not desire
But its sureease; not the fierce heat OF fire,
The burning and consuming element
But that of ashes and of embers spent,
In which some living sparks we still discern
Enough to warm. Int not enough to burn.
What then Shall we sit idly down and say
The night hath come--it is no longer day
The hight hath not yet come: we are not quito
Cut off from labor by the failing light.
Something remains for us to do aud dare
Even the Oldest tree some fruit may bear
For age is opportunity no less
Than youth ITSELF though In another dress;
a I'D us the evening twilight fades away,
The sky is filed with stars invisible by day.

Orrille Grant Denies the Charges Against Hil

Chicago. March S.-The Tribune's Wash ington special says the friends of Orville Grant assert that there is no justification for connecting his name with the sale of post traderships in the West, and that he was never interested directly or indirectly with any of the traderships except the Indian leadership at Fort Peck, Dakota, which he voluntarily gave up a year ago, after losing several thousand dollars. Orville Grant de- nies, in the most positive manner, that he was ever party to the disposal of any tra- derships, but affirms that he attended solely to his own legitimate business, which had become so unprofitable that he was glad to surrender it to others at a loss of nearly all the capital invested. Grant says he is ready for the most searching investigation by a picked committee of Democratic members of Congress.
