A Sad Parting.


Donn Piatt writes to the Washington
Capital the following ship incident
We looked calmly upon the fearful
leave-taking going on all about US. How
frantically wives threw themselves into
the arms Of fond husbands and wet their
shirt-bosoms with the salt water of our
life's sea.
Said one, between sobs, ut was SO cru
cruel of you not to let me take Ned. /
know-ow-ow he'll be neglected and suf-
sufsuffer."
Ned, pet name for a child we thought,
how hard to have the mother separated
from the darling of her heart. But the
husband, his eyes wet with tears, assured
her that Ned should not be neglected.
He would see to Ned himself
And cut his meal, and make his bed?'
Bobbed she.
"Yes, darling"
"And bathe him in bran and warm
water, and comb and cu-cu-curl his hairT
Yes, there was no mistaking it, Neddy
was O little dog. wretched poodle or
black and tan, that was drawing from the
depth these burning tears.

clergyman in Wyoming Territory
recently received five dollars for preach
ing funeral sermon, which he did very
acceptably. 1t was the first money he
had received for long time for profes-
sional services, and he resolved he would
put it where it would increase and multi
ply. And so, after spending few min
utes in prayer, for Divine guidance, he
arose refreshed, and girding up his loins
boldly entered the haunts of the wicked.
When he returned to his humble home
he found five dollars had increased many
hundred fold. He had cast himself up
on the turbid waters, so to speak, of q
game of draw poker, and had scooped the
boys out of one thousand one hundred
and fifty nine dollars and some cents.

Have you any ive-cent cigars p asked
an impecunious looking fellow Of Bos-
ton tobacco man yesterday.
"Yes," replied the tobacconist. and he
placed handful on the showcase for the
man-whose clothing showed that he
had squandered his summer, if not earn
ings-to select from.
Running his eye over the lot and
without being satisfied, he asked for ten
cent ones.
The latter did not tickle his fancy !;
and, assuming the airs of an Astor, he
boldly inquired for fifteen-cent ones.
Selecting one, he poised it between his
fingers, and with the tone of a play d-out
insurance solicitor asked:
Would you take mans last cent for
a cigar2'
The unsuspecting merchant replied
that he would; and that settled the bar
gain, for the customer placed one cent
on the showcase, bit the small end of
the Havana, applied the torch, and leis-
urely strolled out, putting his high-toned
cigar.

Mineral Wool.

The method of manufacture at the
Krupp Works, Essen, Prussia, is as fol-
lows: The pig iron furnace is provided
with a tap an inch in diameter, out of
which a continual stream of Stag is allow
ed to flow and to fall distance of 2 feet
6 inches. at which point the falling
stream of Stag is met by a strong blast of
cold air, the effect OF which is to sepa-
rate the Stag into myriads of hairlike
threads, as white as snow, resembling
the finest wool. These fibers, like spun
glass, if handled, will penetrate the
skin. The mineral wool is used for pack
ing steam pipes, boilers, etc, and is a
valuable product Scientific American.

The Lesson of the Leaves.

AS, one by one, these autumn leaves, descend
ing
To droop and die,
In rustled murmurs, breathe one soft unendtng
Sad threnody,
Till branch and bough, whereon no vestige lin
OF summer bloom,
Trace out upon the sky, with withered fingers,
Their wintry doom:
30. one by one, these earthly hopes we cher
ish-
More dearly prlzetl,
Perchance, than Heaven itself-fall of and
perish
Unrealized,
And leave as, with life's winter DER stealing,
And skies o'ercast,
With barred and outstcetched arms for help ap-
pealing
To Heaven at last.

Nothing to Do but to Go.
BIT THOMAS d. JONES.

A wanderer I've been, and have travelled for
years,
BY the stage-coach, the steamboat, the train
have known joyful meetings, have shed part
ing tears
With friends might ne'er meet again.
And I've learned-let my farewells be Joyous or
sad
No haste OF distraction to show;
But, with baggage prechecked and with passage
To have nothing to do but to go.
The loiterer, when over the iron-clad track
The train Is heard coming apace,
For his ticket win clamor and urbe for his
check
In a whirl OF impatient distress.
While others, more timeful, with undisturbed
mein,
VIII composedly pace to and fro,
Or, quietly seated, will walt for the train,
With nothing to do but to go.
ohE thus-l have thought-when we'er called
to depart
For the land whence we never return,
May we feel we are fully prepared for the start
When the death-sounding note We discern.
With our tickets secured and our cares all at
rest,
No disquleting thoughts may we know;
But TRANQUILITY waiting, be found at the last
With nothing to do but to GO

The spring hath birds, however late,
The June must bring her roses
The faintest hearts that truthful wait
For what Gods love discloses.
We look along the shining ways,
To see the angels faces;
They come TO us in darkest days,
And in the bleakest places.
We ask of God the sunniest way,
He answers with a sorrow;
We faint beneath the cross to-day.
We wear the crown tomorrow.

A BENEVOLENT OLD GENTLEMAN's JOKE
on THE ORPHANs.-A few days ago an old
darky drove up in front OF the Female Or
phan Asylum, on Leigh street, with cart
load of watermelons and canteloupes. He
stood I'D on the shafts OF his cart, and bal
ancing himself by placing his hands on the
rump of his. unusually docile mule, he
shouted out "Old mistiSs oh, ole mis-
tiss! come out here, please, marm ! +" a
staid and stately matron appeared at the
door, and the old African told her ''dat
gentleman had tole him to come dar and liver
his whole load o. watermillions and mush-
millions for de poor little awful children to
eat" "An' I suppose, ole mistess," he
added, "dat dis is de place wlar dc she.
male awful children live" He was assured
OF this fact; and in short time the little
ones had emptied the cart and were buslly
engaged in consuming the "watermilions
and mushmillions.' Meanwhile could be
observed an old Sray-haircd gentleman who
stood off on the other side OF the street
and watched the proceedings. lie
would occasionally pull his silVered Deard'
get behind a tree-boX, and take good,
hearty laugh as ne saw with what relish
the children went for the "Watermllllons
and mushmillions." Hc called the driver
of the cart. paid him literally for his load,
and gave him fifty cents not to tell who had
played such good joke on the orphans. He
then walked down the street, twirling his
stick and laughing fit to kill himself at the
idea of what good Joker he was. Some
people may blame him for bis levlty, but
we would like to bet that there is pair OF
wings in waiting away up yonder for that
old gentleman.
