piano mandatory, where most of the
best artists were assembled; and bis
performances were regarded, as you
may have seen by the press, as marvel
ousIy beautiful and powerful. His fin.
gering, though exquisiteIy delicate and
discriminating, is yet singularly mascu-
line, free, confident, and bold. He
proposes to give some concerts in New
York, and may do so elsewhere in
America. 1t is possible you may hear
him in Charleston, whore he was first
heard; and have no doubt that he will
make an impression quite as brilliant
here as in Europe, where, undoubtedly,
the musical tastes are most delicate and
refined, and appreciative Of those finer
touches which are usually lost on the
common ear. The only difficulty in
the way of the boys perfect success
here, will probably lie in this: -: his ex-
quisitc delicacy; our people in New
York need the stormicst music; blood
and thunder, roll and rush, earthquakes
and avalanchrs, an occasional cataract,
and frequ. mt volcanic erup.ioDs. But,
to the really musical ear. there can be
no doubt that young Denck will be
regarded here as a prodigy Of musical
talent, even as he has been regarded in
Europe. MEMO.

The Devoted Mothers.

Many poor mother in an humble cot
with no money or position, has strug-
glcd hard to feed and cloth her little
ones, to train them to be an honor to
their country and a blessing to the
world. Most of our useful, prominent
men came from such homes. Our
churchyards are full Of such sleeping
mothers, whose hands are folded over
their breasts. No worldly eye ever
saw the records of their lives; only
God and the angels. No tall monu-
ment and high.soundlns epitaphs mark
their resting places. What response
bility rests upon the mothers of this
country ! Life is too short - be spent in
accumulatiDg tho things of this world
that must perish. The children do not
stay with us long enough to permit US
to waste our hours in the pursuit Of
fashion and gaycty. What we SOW now
we shall reap hereafter. God gives to
all mothers grace and strength to
fulfil their duties Alright, that thelf inAu-
ence for good may be left from genera
tiou to generation.

A Flying Machine.

Experiments were made in Phila-
delphia on Wednesday with what is
called "Prof. Ritcheps aerial or flying
machine" The machine looks like a
velocipede on runners with a balloon
canopy. The operator sits in a small
seat aud puts his feet in the stirrups.
In front of him is a crank by which
the main propeller ut the bottom Of
the machiue is controlled. These pad
dies breast the air like wings. An
other one serves as a rudder, being con.
nected with the stirrups by metallic
bars. The balloon is twenty-five feet
in length and twelve feet in diameter,
The inventor says The principle on
which I established my idea was that Of
the flying of birds. felt that if birds
could supply the impetus of flying, and
change their course, invention could do
the same for man. This cylinder that
I have arranged, shall carry about 9S
per cent of the total weight. The ope-
rator in moving the wings is supposed to
possess the muscular weight of dozen
eagles The person trained to operate
the machine made some successful as
cents, and those who witnessed the ex-
pertinent regarded it as success.

A AHalfFinished Wedding.

In Cincinnati the young people are
excited over promised wedding that
didn't take place. The young man and
young woman had known each other
from childhood, and were prominent in
society circles The wedding guests
were assembled. and the loving couple
were on the floor. The minister pro-
pounded the usual questions to the
bride, as to whether she would take the
man to be her husband, ETC., when, to
the surprise of all present, she answered
No" Thinking he misunderstood her
the minister asked the question again.
and she answered NO." This stopped
the ceremony, and the story came out;
The young man, addicted to tho use
of Intoxicating liquors, had promised re-
form if the lady would consent to marry
him. and had signed the pledge. He
had been on trial for months, but, as
the bride turned to him as they stood
side BY side before the minister, she
caught the odor of whisky on his breath,
and detected signs of incipicnt intoxica-
ton. She closed the extraordinary
scene by stating that she could not trust
her future to man who had broken a
promise so solemnly made. Expostula-
tions and entreaties were all in vain. The
wedding did not take place. Chicago

Two years ago. residents ic the Sec

thrown into great CONSERVATION by con.
tinual rumblings and inexplicatle noises
heard in the bowels of the immense
mountain. The phenomena attracted
the attention of scientific men in all
parts of the country. The rumbling
lasted for about two weeks and then
ceased. They had the effect of render.

that had been valuable, almost worthless,
and the Inhabitants FASTENED to remove
from the neighborhood of the mysterious
mountain. Last Friday night the
noise began again the mountain shook
as in the throes of an earthquake; i'm
mense trees and rocks were hurled
down the mountain side, and sounds
like the intermittent thunder were
heard during the night This morning
those who ventured near saw that the
mountain had been literally split in
twain, leaving a chasm of 300 feet in
length and from 8 to 10 feet in width.
SO far as has been ascertained, the chasm
is bottomless abyss. As yet no smoke
or lava has been thrown from the crater.
but early in the morning there was q
strong smell of sulphur about the place.

True Cheerfulness.

Mourning For the Dead.

1 saw a pale mourner stand bending
over the tomb. and his tears fell fast
aud often. AS he raised his humid
eyes to heaven, he cried, "My brother |!
oh my brother !" A sage passed
that way and said, "For whom dost
thou mourn '"Oue," replied he,
whom | did not sufficiently love while
living, but whose inestmable worth I
now feel" 'What wouldst thou do,
if he were restored to thee?" The
mourrer replied, that he would never
offend him by an unkind word, but
would take every occasion to show his
friendship, if he could but come back to
his fond embrace. "Then waste not
thy time in useless grief" said tho sage.
but if thou hast friends, go and
cherish the living, remembering that
they will, uuo day, be dead also"

SADNESS.
BY TENELLA.

There are moments Of sadness in life,
When silently over us fall
Forebodings of sorrow and strife,
Dim shadows far-reaching and tall.
Are they warnings Of trouble before,
Thus vaguely and family defined!
Or hauutings of that which is Ger,
Yet leaveth its shadows behind
Why hath not The feeling a name!
In tear-drops it seeketh relief;
But, yet, it is never the same,
AS sadness that cometh with grief.
II is not that darkness abiding,
When the soul in fierce battle must cope,
With q sorrow whose banner is hiding.
The starlight that gleameth with hope !;
When the h cart is own bitterness knows,
But keel eth in secret from oil.
Though the torrent Of feeling o'erfows,
And hot tears Of anguish will fall.
Does it come like bugle-note, citing
The soldier to arm for iight,-
Like the grey clasp of twilight, uniting
joys sunshine with sorrows dark night !!
Or 1t is n solemn-toned chant,
And not the vague warning of grief?
The dew that distilled on the plant,
Not the frost that discolors the leaf?
/ know not, but fain would believe
The feeling betokens no i'll,
But comes the full heart to relieve.
And bid the flushed spirit be still.
And where o'er the spirit it falleth,
Oh let not the warming be vain!
But deem il an angel who calleth
The soul TO its duties again.
