Four Figures.

o Night staou art not sweeti Slant rest indeed
Thou ciys, o those who crave Lethaan draughts
of thee,
And vain desire remaineth stin the need
OF those who In thy arms would cen as dead
men be;
And yet, because we seek thy spell not utterly
In vain,
OF thee, o Night, continually unhappy men are
fain.
oDay, thou art not gled Thou brlngest care,
And weary hopeless toll, and pleasure wearier
still;
Thou polntest out the deeds we may not dare,
The ends which none may reach, the memories
none may kill;
And yet because we fear to tread the dark and
lonely way
OF sunless night, which all must tread, we cling
to thee, o DayI
o Time, thou art not kind Thou bringest
eld,
Remorse for vanish'd years, and all that might
have been,
Az in thy glass illusions are dispell'd
The hollow wrath Of hope, and all the sadness
seen;
And yet because we scarcely feel the ruin thou
hast wrought,
further span of thee, Time, by foolish men
is sought.
o Love, thou art not sweet, or glad, or kindl
Thou hauntest Night with wistful dreamsi thy
tender grace
Makes the Day mournful, while with longings
blind
We see Times ruthless touch conceal and mar
thy face;
And YET because we yearn to know the discipline
Of pain,
From Day and Night and Time We strive little
Love to gain.

vi ct armis, nor against the bold cracks
man who burglarizes their buildings and
sacks their stores but against the oleagi-
nous and insinuating itinerant beggar
they clamor for protection.
They especially consider that they are
imposed upon by that'timid, cringing in
dividual who represents that he has not
had square meal for a week, and who,
when aims are given him, at once dives
into the nearest dram shop and takes in
an enemy to steal away his brain. They
are also decidedly averse to contributing
literally toward the funeral expenses of
a poor woman's husband and children,
when it is afterwards developed that the
woman never gloried in a husband, and
that all her children are among the misty
possibilities of the remote future. Occur
rences of this kind have worn upon the
benevolent Philadelphia folks until they
have waxed wroth, and girding their loins
about, they have decided to circnmvent
the army Of street beggars that beset
them.
With this object in view an organiza-
tion has been effected, which is known
among those whose memories can retain
the title as ''The Society for Organizing
Charitable Relief and Repressing Mendi-
cancy in Philadelphia" This society has
burdened itself with the accomplishment
of five objects; To see that all deserving
cases of destitution are properly relieved !;
to prevent indiscriminate and duplicate
giving; to make employment the basis of
relief; to secure the community from i'm
posture; to reduce vagrancy and pauper-
ism, and ascertain their true causes.
All the members in the respective
wards are bound to contribute at least
one dollar in the current fiscal year, and
the sum thus raised will be devoted to
the alleviation of want and distress in
accordance with the rules of the society
The point that the society desires to make
is that in tAis manner the giving of aims
will be systematized, that the deservedly
needy will be sure to receive attention
and that impostors will be ferreted out
and exposed. In this manner the $780,
900 or more, which is distributed annually
with very little regard as to who receives
it or how it is appropriated, will 60
through the regular channel of the society
and be placed in every case where it will
do the most good.

PERPETUAL MOTION.

A magnetic clock, invented by Daniel
Drawbaugh, of Milltown, Cumberland
county, Pa, is sufficiently remarkable to be
worth description. The magnetism of the
earth, an inexhaustible source of power, is
made to oscillate the pendulum; and the
simplicity of all the works gives an assur-
ance of the least possible friction. At o
certain point, the movement of the pendu-
lum itself shuts off magnetic connection
with the earth, and at another point re-
stores the connection, thus securing the
conditions necessary to produce its oscilla.
tons. The works are so ingenious and
simple that it is no wild assertion to make
that, were it not for the unavoidable wear
ing out caused by even the smallest amount
of friction, the clock would run as long as
the solid earth endures. This clock is hung
against beard partition, with all the
works exposed, subject to the Earrings Of
machinery and distractions from dust set
ting upon it, yet it has been running con-
tinuously and uniformly, with only slight
reported variations, as tested by transient
observations at noon.-Harrisburg, Pa.s

TEOW BULGARIAN TRADERS
QUARREL.

A dispute not unfrequently arises and a.
crowd gathers about the irate traders but
no blows are struck in the East. A quarrel
is accompanied by series of highly exas-,
perated expectorations, reminding the OBJ
server of a nocturnal feline combat. One
of the sol disant combatants spits upon the
pavement in what he conceiYes to be an
intensely malignant and daring manner
his antagonist Immediately follows suit, and
spits upon his side of the street in what he,
imagines to be more desperate and blood
curdling style, and, if the controversy is a.
very deadly one, the participants keep upi
the bombardment of the unfortunate side
walk until their lips are so dry that they
rattle in vain attempt to expend mora,
ammunition. When this point is reached,
the disputants generally walk off in differ
ent directions, turning back every two min
utes for the first two miles to shake their
fists in the direction they suppose their te
antagonists to have taken. Correspondence

CINCINNATI has another reason for
local pride, in her detective force. When
Augustus Devin's body was stolen from
its tomb at North Bend, and that of Gen.
Harrison's found in the search, General
Ben. Harrison at once telegraphed to
Pinkerton for two of his best men to aid
in finding the body and detecting the au-
thors of the crime. They were sent, and
have been, in conjunction with the local
police, working up the affair ever since,
but have been fairly outwitted by our
own keen Snelbaker, who, single handed
and alone, has carried off the honors, not
only of finding the body and returning it
to the friends, but fairly detecting the
authors of the crime, and weaving about
them such a web of evidence that they
can not escape by even the most power.
full aid. Cincinnati may now add an,
other to her list of local celebrities, that
of the shrewdest and most successful de-
tective in the country.

THE BOOMERANG.

My experience in boomerangs is mainly
confined to the natives about the Conda-
mine and its affluents, where [ was fire.
quently in company with natives for about
a year. They had two weapons-one
large, for war, the other small for game.
[ should think the weapon is seldom
thrown in war, since most of their con-
tests (such as they are) take place in
scrub or forest, where it could not be used
to advantage; but I have seen a native
frightfully cut in the abdomen, and was
told by native that he had been struck
by boomerang thrown by the hostile
party. ] have seen few of these con-
tests, but never saw the boomerang used
in any way. The ''waddys" were thrown
freely, the spear seldom. The game
boomerang is thrown among flights of
ducks, and also parrots when congregated

are two ways of throwing the weapon,
which, as | could throw it well at one
time, | will endeavor to describe. 1t is
grasped quite at the end by the right
hand and raised above the head, the elbow
being bent, the weapon assuming posi-
ton with its convex edge downward on a
nearly horizontal line at right angles to
the intended line of fight. The arm is
brought swiftly round from left to right,
becoming gradually extended until it
reaches line directly in front of the face,
when the weapon is delivered from the
now straight arm, with the concave edge
toward the line of fight. This is the
method of throwing into the air. No de,
pendence can be placed on the return o.
the weapon within q circle of 20 yards
though it sometimes returns dangerously
near the thrower. If it meets with an OBJ
stacle it is either stopped and falls dead tc
the earth, or its course is changed. In either
case it's peculiar motion is destroyed, as

Then one sounded different from the rest
hollow.
A gleam of triumph shot through
the calm eyes. "Herc Kate, hold the
lantern. Don't be frightened Lizzie"
Then with an exertion of strength, he
burst into the worm eaten wainscot, re-
vealing small aperture, wherein crouch
ing upon the floor, the very picture of
abject terror, with'sheet thrown of, and
hands upheld for mercy, was a negro
youth.
"You young scoundrel ~ exclaimed the
victor, dragging him forth, while Kate
held the lantern aloft, and Lizzie stood
trembling, half with joy at the ending of
the mystery, and half with pity for the
frightened offender.
For an instant Mr.. Carroll held him
there with grasp like that of a savage
conqueror; then the magnanimous Chris
tan gentleman asserted himself, and the
earnest warning and rebuke which fol-
lowed, mingled with words of entreaty,
would have softened harder heart than
that of the ignorant black boy, who
was sobbing like baby.
The atfectionate appeal touched another
heart. And when, ere he left, Mr.. Car
roll found an opportunity to ask that little
question which had been so long lowering
awkwardly upon his lips, Lizzie was ready
to give up the contest, and rest securely
in an honest man S love, finding thus her
better life.
Willowdale, with all its windows thrown
open to the sunshine, with fresh paper
on its mouldy walls, and half its gaunt
trees replaced by Towering shrubs, is a
delightful summer residence. There, year
by year, the CAROLS forget the cares of
the city, and there Kate, now celebrated
writer, is beloved guest. Whenever
a rainy day obliges the children. to take
the attic for their playground, there is
great sport in a certain closet, turning
over its treasures of the past, and donning
old time fnery, while dark hole behind
a shattered panel, makes a capital place
of punishment for naughty dolls, or not
less capital place for hide and seek.
Aunt Debby rules the kitchen, and a
sprightly maid called Lutte spreads pure
white linen in the breezy chambers; but
the most attached servant about the place,
is a young colored man, whose devotion
to his master excites general observation.
To the children and visitors he is known
as Alonzo, and Kate and Lizzie sometimes
designate him as-The Ghost of Willow

GUILTY,

Recently, q well-known Leavenworth.
minister was approached by a young man,
who, in tremulous accents, informed him
that he wanted to get married, and that ahd
who was to make him supremely happy
dwelt in the First Ward. The minister
told him that there was nothing in the
world which gave him so much pleasure as
to unite two loving hearts in the bonds Of
matrimony and send them floating down
the river of life. The minister told the
youth that to do the job in the most ap.
proved style would cost him about So.
The would-be husband said he had no
money, but that he would give him load
of wood as part payment, and settle the
remainder next week. A bargain was
struck upon that basis, and the minister
started forth upon hi errand of joy. Ar
irving at the house, which consisted of but
one room, they found the bride sitting on
trunk with anything but pleasant oounte-
nance. e"Come now, dear" said the groom;
'the preacher is here and ready to hitch
u.s." "Git out" she responded; "do you
think I'd marry the likes of your You
must be sick" "Come now, won't you"
he pleaded; "don't you see I've gone to all
the expense of getting the preacher and
everything, and why won't you do as you
said you would? You know can prove
you said you would" II don't care darn
what you can prove; you amt the sort of
husband want, no how" All persuasive
coaxing on the part of the mortified youth
was of no avail, and, turning to the minis
ter, he sad "Mister, guess it's failure
now; she won't come to time. She's mad
because can't afford to give her big blow
out at the meeting house"
The minister retraced his steps minus his
load of wood, and went to bed to dream Of
the fickleness of women-some of them OF
least. Early the next morning. he was
awakened by q loud rap at the door, and
upon opening it he found before him tho
young man, his face wreathed in smiles,
yet showing no trace of anxiety, and his
clothes covered with the sacred soil OF
Kansas.
kHurry up and let's try it again; she's
willing now" The minister, accompanied
by few friends, was soon at the house,
and found the expectant bride only too
anxious for the ceremony to be pro"
nounced. She said she hadn't her "fxins"
on, and at her request the gentlemen with
drew from the room to give her time to
dress for the all-important event. She was
not long about it, however, and when they
re-entered the room they found her dressed
for the occasion. Her trousseau consisted
principally of white skirt drawn over her
dress and a yellow rose, which had long
been roost for flies, stuck in her hair.
"Are you Miss or Mrs.9' asked tho
minister. 'T'm Miss now; my husband
is dead" she replied. Fearing that she
might reconsider her notion second time,
he married them in the shortest form
known, and left the couple as happy as
though they were married in marble pal
ace. Their happiness must have lasted
until the next day, for the new husband
sent the preacher the finest load of wood
he had had for some time.-Lecven1uortb
