How They Met and Parted.

Two men hailed each other from the opposite bank ofa stream and exchang- ing greetings, many friendly questions were put and answered. The men were evidently delighted to meet each other. and their only regret appeared to be that they encountered one another in q place where it was impossible for them to clasp and shake hands, the river not being fordable on account of its swift ness and the rocky and treacherous na- ture of its channel, while the nearest bridge was five miles above. Both men lamented these unfortunate circum- stances very much, but at length a way of getting over the difficulty suggested itself to one of them, whose pet name was Broncho Bill"
 ''I say, Sam" cried Broncho, tits a little rough for old friends and neigh bors to meet away out here, thousands of miles from home, and then have to part in this way. Got your pistol with yer ?''
 II hev,n cried Sam; ''ailers carry her."
 "Good! That's some comfort; if we can't get across this var steam to shake hands, why, thar's nothing to prevent us from takin' shot at each other. Jist ride up to yer left thar a rod or two Thar, now, jist one good old neigh borly home shot!n
 The men rode aside, and bang, bang !! went their pistols.
 '' Ter smashed the pummel of my sad dle,'' cried Broncho; ''yer see the hoss shied a little jist as yer turned loose, or yer might pumped me good"
 "Yer done better, Bill; you got into the flesh of my left arm bout half an inch Good morning to you, a safe jour ney to yer, and tell the folks at home we met and had a good sociable time to- gether."
 "Thank yer, and the same to you; bet I'll give lem good account of you"
 Sam then turned to our friend, and with tears in his eyes, said: 'God bless him! It is a great comfort to meet an old friend and neighbor like him away out here in this wilderness place. A kinder, more accommodative and agree able gentleman never lived. I wouldn't a-missed seein' him for fifty dollars Hirgisia (NeU.) Chronicle.

A Wonderful Invention.

A London correspondent of the Times tells ofthe discovery of MT. Binns, a practical inventor and designer and a cotton spinner at Bradford, England
 who has constructed machinery which could be set to work at the beginning of the week, and would go ahead until the end without being touched, so long as the steam engine continued to work. He claims that the operation of manufactur- ing proceeded continuously without tending; that the owner locked up his mill at night and went to bed, while the machines maintained their busy revolu- tions, turning out miles of silk cords. fringes, trimmings and other things that whereas he used to employ scores ofhands. he now only needed a stoker, a bookkeeper, and few cleaners and pack CTS to put up the produce of his auto matic mill. When there is breakage of the yarn the machine pauses, mends the break and goes on again. Binns thinks of coming to America some days

The Power of Music.

Many O. us, most or us, have 1spIra tions and emotions for the expression O which in words it is as if we were voice less and dumb, but which find full and ready expression in music; even though l have sometimes thought, the words which we freight with them might be mere Jargon. Under the right circum- stances, and given only touch, a tone, sudden remembrance, anything to un- lock the emotions, and the song goes forth, telling for every individual singer different story. Perhaps this is most noticeable in the midst of sympathetic numbers, as in the crowds who used to meet together and ..sing out all their secret feeling in the strange, unreal light of the Chicago Tabernacle. shall never forget a face which I saw there one stormy, winter afternoon; one which touched me more than any other of the many expressive faces which I used to see there full of emotion day after day. It was only an everyday face, that of a worn, old woman, dressed in deep mourning; and, with family and friendly groups on every side of her, seeming so alone in her loneliness and old age. Was there anything in tte words of the song, in the singing of which she joined with her trelnulous tones, which could fitly express the emotion that filled face and voice. The song was only one of the most common place of the many changes rung on the dear old themes, yet the words came to f.n, +nI |, yearning, until l longed to place gently my own in her poor, tired, empty Lands, if haply mine could, in any mea- sure, fill their emptiness; to say a word which might brighten the poor, withered old face, so utterly pathetic in it's far-off look of longing. Such a strangely, far away look it was, as if the yearning eyes had sent their gaze over the ocean in search of the lost ones, to where, mayhap, their graves were made in 'the old country" and failing to find them there, had gone straight on into the heavenly land.
 Did she find them? Who knows? But the song, whose musical strains gave voice that day to her longing for the dear dead faces, will always be to her in very truth a '' sacred song.n To one heart, at least, a cool, critical analysis of its composition would be sacrilege. To one or another of us, per haps, this would be true in regard to every one of the familiar old songs. It is too late; we could not criticise them if we would. Love is blind, and we love them every one !-S,s1aday 4tte1mooae.

TheJoy of IncompIeteness.

Ii all our lives were one broad glare Of sunlight, clear unclouded; E.~ If all our paths were smooth and fair, By no soft gloom enshrouded; If all life's flowers were fully blown Without the sweet unfolding, And happiness were rudely thrown On hands too weak for holding Should we not miss the twilight hours,
 The gentle haze and sadness? r
 Should we not long tor storms and showers
 To break the constant gladnessf .-s If none were sick and none were sad, What service could we render7 I think if we were always glad t5t .s< We scarcely could be tender; aa-s7.e Did your beloved never need Our patient mnistration, Earth would grow cold, and miss, indeed, Its sweetest consolation. If sorrow never claimed our heart,
 And every wish were granted,
 Patience would die, and hope depart
 Life would be tisenchanted. And yet in heaven Is no more night, In heaven is no more sorrow! Such unimagined new delight Fresh grace from pain will borrow, As the poor seed that underground Seeks it's true life about it, Not knowing what will there be found When sunbeams kiss and love it;
 So we in darkness upward grow,
 And look and long for heaven,
 But cannot picture it below,
 Til more of light be given

"Thank God, I dared to do it!'
And says she to me:

And says she to me-
 "Oh, aunt, I have been trembling with fright, not knowing what you'd say to me. took him in the kitchen way I couldn't see him go faint and hungry and wounded, and put him in the spare chamber over the parlor, and have been so frightened all the while"
 "The Lord bless you, Drusilla," said Charlie.
 "Amen." said I.
 And she, getting bolder, went on.
 And I took him some hot short cakes and apple sass and tea," says she, and took him a candle and a hot brick for his feet, and I told him to eat and go to bed in the best chamber, Aunt Fair fax, with the white counterpane and all, and I locked him in and put the key in my pocket, and told him that he should have one nights rest, and that no one should turn him out unless they walked over my dead body'
 Drusilla said it like an actress in a tragedy, and went off into mysteries the moment the words were out of her mouth. She'd been expecting to be hall murdered, you know, and the girl, who was sixteen, always before minded me as ifI was her mother .-r.
 Never was there any old sinner so happy as I was that night, so thankful to the good Lord; and it would have done your heart good if you had gone to see the two meet in the morning-Char- lie and his friend Rob. And Charlie, who got well, and a mother, who was not so poor either, helped Rob into busi- ness. And he got well over his wounds at last and grew as handsome as a pie ture, and to-day week he is going to marry Drusilla.
 "I'd give you anything I have" said l, ''and I won't refuse you even Dru- silla, when he asked me, telling me that he loved her ever since she was so kind to him on the night I've told you of.
 And Charlie is to stand up with him, and l am to give Drusilla away. and Rob's sister from Greenbank is to be bridesmaid, and I have 9 guess that some day Charlie will bring her home to be in Drusilla's place.
 l don't drive beggars from the door now as used, and no doubt I'm imposed upon but this is what I say " Better be imposed upon always than to be cruel to one who really needs help" And I've read my Bible better of late, and I know who says, "Even as you have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me.

Hands.

r stitute hands, those necessary appendices of wrists, and what world of thought those silent creations evoke as they so oft appear before us. First we see babies chubby hands, that, like their little souls, as yet hold nothing. Then come older hands that are expressive equal to faces. Sit for a while in a ferryboat's cabin, watching creatures drifing in through the entrance, until they are comfortably seated; then note the hands, commencing with the mascu- lines. Wonder are 8 pair of frail, nar- TOW, vein-streaked hands that are equiv Ocal, indicating either a sensitive organization or a constructive body. Further on we see white medium-sized clerical hands, which through life have been quietly lifted in prayer, have helped pen good sermons, and have held for perusal the various religious works of the day. Near by are a pair of thin hands, with tapering fingers and white, rounded nails, that are gently toying with dangling gold chain, reminding us of youths principles, that are often no tronger than the delicate links of the glittering ornament so carelessly handled. And behold another pair of hands, so soft and pliable, easily crushed into any sized glove, denoting the owner to be as easily bribed into any vote on election day. Then, again, we see the clammy hands that in their cold damp ness hold out to us no hope of a warm heart beating responsive to our own, while close beside us we see the pin- cushion hands of the sensualist that, puffed out in all their fullness, almost invite us to prick them if only to relax that extreme tension, the sight of which disturbs our nerves. Still other hands are before us-horny, hard-work- ing hands of the poor laborers that, heavily resting upon knees encased in worn, patched cloth, mutely appeal to our hearts for higher wages. And, finally, in a corner we perceive, clasping an umbrella and holding a large basket (of goodies, probably, for beloved family), a strong pair of useful brown hands, which in their healthy thickness we long to grasp, feeling that in their firm hold we would recognize true riend, q kind brother, and an honest politician.
 Dear feminine hands lie scattered be- fore us upon silken laps amid pro- fusion of lace, many of which hands in their very delicacy hint of characters as quickly destroyed as the frail lace that surrounds them; others, however, m their plumpness seeking to burst their gloves, proving their fair owners to be Madam Vanity's legitimate daughters And few, very few, broad, charitable hands, which in their proportionate size display wide ideas, sufficient inde- pendence and certain womanly ten derness that assures it's of kind nursing when sick.
 So adieu, hands, wonderful hands, that despite the mischief you may have done, the mean traits you have unwit- tingly betrayed, we can never see clasped in death over the silent body without experiencing the keenest an guish and shedding the bitter tears of sorrow.-C Carrie Raaairez

 A writer, describing the, alligator, speaks of the strong odor of musk it is capable of giving out. It has four glands that secrete this musk, two in the lower part of the head, immediately under the throat, and two more, one on each side of the vent. This musk is whitish yellow fluid, and is precisely in odor like the musk sold by perfumers. In stirring up nest of alligators one is often reminded of an apothecary shop.

THAT SAME OLD ABSURD PRE-.

The War Department has just issued
statement that shows the falsity, the abso

publican party fought the war for the
Union. 1t shows, on the contrary, that,
but for the willing hands and courageous
hearts Of Northern and Southern National
Democrats million and half OF men
who voted for Stephen A. Douglas-the
rebellion would have been a pronounced
success, before the close OF the year in
which it was inaugurated.
The total number of lnlistments from the
commencement to the close Of the war is
stated at 2,67s,967 men. The middle
States furnished a million, the Northwest
ern States a million, and the balance were

single Democratic State of Mis-

by the whole Of New England, Massachu-

New England, including Massachusetts,,
(Which State cleverly availed itself of sub.
