According to the De~tsehe ARgemeine Zei-
tung, q German, named Karl Steinbach, has
made an important discovery in photography.
After years of study and experiment he has
succeeded in obtaining chemical compost
ton by means of which a mirror image may
be fixed and sold as photograph. With this
composition the mirror surface is painted,
and the back part of the mirror receives also
coating of oil. The mirrow thus prepared
is held before the person who is to be photo
grapbed. The oil coating evaporates, and
the likeness of the person remains in its
natural colors on the light surface. The
image, so fixed, is brought IN to bath, and
is exposed half an hour to sunlight before
delivery. A rich capitalist in Perue. it is
said, has acquiredthis invention for $400, 900,
and large establishments are to be formed in
North and South America for carrying it out.

TO Young Men In Search Of Wives.

"Out of hundred persons who die of con-
sumption ninety have brown or fair hair, a
long face and sharp nose. Out OF hun
dred who are corpulent, there are ninety with
short face, round eyes and short or blunt
nose. When in company We meet with a
young girl who is lively, with rosy COM
plexion, roguish nose, q we'll rounded fig
ure, plump hands and short plump feet,
everybody pronounces her charming, and
she has dozen sweethearts right away: But
the prudent young man forsees the future
danger and does not offer her his hand. He
forsees the terrible avoirdupois ofcorpulence,
stops short of mstrimony and groans, but
leayes her"

"READING PAYS,

Oh, yes, it pays IN various ways,
To store the mind with knowledge,
At least that's what the teacher says
In every school and college,:
To keep he youthful mind employed
While the happy thoughts it brings
Prevents the mind from being decoyed
To studying foolish things.
II IA the bulwark of the mind,
The JOY of leisure hours,
1t ia always fresh to those who find
The influence of its powers;
1t makes you bright, 1t gives delight
ItI powers and might in time,
Itself will chow as on you 90
In reaching heights sublime.
But pray take heed of what you read
Be such as always tend
To guide your actions that no deed
OF yours may e'er offend:
That poison turks not on the page,
Or In any way betrays,
And you will find, In your old age,
The truth that reading pays"

TEXAS SUMMER SONG.

Did you ever hear of drought,
A regular Texas stew?
No! Then III invoke my painting muse
And issue verse or two.
Thermometer ninety at nine,
One hundred degrees at four,
And ninety again at nine p. N.
For full q month or more.
So hst that you fall asleep
Over the news by mail
That COW can't low or chicken crow
Or = watch dog wag his tail.
So hot that men don't speak
In healthy natural tone:
But greet AZ they meet in the dusty street
With scarcely audible groan.
A staggering rooster reels
After sunstruck fly.
And hog ,ust winks at an ear of corn
Which chances to lie near by.
Not drop Of dew by night,
Not drop of rain by day;
The wells and cisterns going dry
And the creeks have run away.

GABRIEL.

BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
Once let the angel bow!-
A peal from the parted heaven,
The first Of seven!
For the time is come that was foretold
So long ago!
As the avalanche gathers huge and cold,
From the down OF the harmless snow,
The years and the ages gather and hang
Till the day when the world is spoken:
When they that dwell in the end of time
Are smitten alike for the early crime,
AZ the wills of wrath are broken!
Yea, the time hath come;
Though earth il rich, her children are dumb,
Ge cry: "Beware
OF the dancers floating hair,
And the cymbas clash, and the sound of pipe and
drum!"
But the prophet cries: 'Beware
OF the hymn unheard, the unanswered prayer;
For ignorance is past,
And knowledge comes at last
And the burden it brings to you how can ye bear ~
Again let the angel blow!
The seals are lOOsened that seemed to bind
The futures bliss and woe!
For Il shrinking SOUL an uncertain mind,
For eyes that see, but are growing blind,
Your landmarks fade and change:
The colors to-day you borrow
Take another hue tomorrow;
The forms of your faith are wild and strange.
Walking, you stagger to and fro;
90, lct tne anger DlOW!
All, shall the angel blow:
Something must have remained,
Something fresh and unstained,
Sprung from he common soil here the virtues grow:
Nay it is not 30!
Art succumbs to the cOarser sense
Greed o'ercometh sweet abstinence;
VI vices yOur young men talk,
In scarlet your women walk,
And the soul Of honor that made you proud,
The loftier grace your lives avowed.
Are passive corpse and a tattered shroud:
What you forget can your children know?
80, let the angel blow!
Yes, let the angel blow!
A peal from the parted heaven,
The first of sevcn!-
The warning not yet the sign of woe
That men arse
And look about them with awakened eyes,
Behold on their garments the dust and slime,
Refrain, forbear
Accept the weight of a nobler care
And take rel roach from the fallen time!
