M Rahinet. of the French institute

m. Babinet, OF. the French Institute,
gave this test for Distinguishing colorless
gems from diamonds If a person looks
through transparent stone at any small
object, such as the point of needle or a
little hole in card, and sees two small
points or two small holes, the stone is
not a diamond. All white colorless
gems, with the exception Of the diamond,
he held, made the object examined about
double. In other words, double refrac-
ton, whenever exhibited by a stone, is
proof conclusive that it is not a diamond.

A quiet wedding occurred recently, at
(which there were no guests, the mother OF
che bride being the only witness to the GER
emory besides the officiating clergyman,
who came from another village. In 1852 q
Young gentleman, resident OF this country,
who was betrothed to the lady, enlisted in
the Union army. His sweetheart made no
effort to dissuade him, and with a breaking
heart babe him adieu, and quietly buried
herself in her home with her widowed
mother, the only living member OF
the family beside herself. For a
while all went we'll, and loving let
ters cheered the brave soldier. After the
battle OF Charlottesville the letters sud-
denly ceased. Letter after letter was
written to him and his comrades, but all
that could be learned was that after
that terrible battle he was missing. His
stricken sweetheart never entirely aban-
doned hope, and lived on hoping
against hope for bis return. After many
weary years her patient troth has been
rewarded, and she is now happy
bride. Sometime during the fight he
was taken prisoner and sent to south
ern prison, where he was kept about q
year. He finally escaped and reached
the seaboard, where he conceived the
idea OF personating an English sailor
anu ScGSIuS 10 CuSiAuu Ou DAOShuuC-1 uu-
ner. After much delay and many disap-
pointments he succeeded. he remembered
sailing through the blockading squadron
after that all Is blank. He learned after
wards that he had been taken i'll, and soon
after insane. On his arrival In England he
was taken to an insane asylum, where he re-
manned until a year ago, when he was dis
Charged-cured but penniless. He sue
rceeded, through the assistance OF friends in
the asylum, In obtaining situation in a
mercantile house, where he won the esteem
OF the principals, to whom he told his story.
A leave OF absence was granted him; he
came to this country, and found his old
sweetheart, now lady Of thirty-two, faith
full to his memory. They were quietly
married, aud are now living in England.
During his absence his relatives had all
died, and he had no ties to keep him here,
save the love OF country, which will eventu-
ally bring him and his faithful wife back to
our shores. - ErchGnge.

the flowers he might hurt them, and gave a
loud neigh to attract thenotice OF the work

about their work. But the horse wanted
something done, and neighed louder than

moved, and the animal came in, held

work OF q horse-shoer was needed,
saving as plain as q horse could say, :. Put

placed, and the animal put up his foot, took
