The year 1880 promises to be ore ofthe most
interesting and important years Of this crowded
and even Ifll century. IL will witness q Presi-
Dental election which may result in re-estab-
fishing the Government Of this country on the
principles Of its constitutional founders, or in
permanently changing the relations Of these
States 10 the Federal power. Noinfelligent man

waA missed from the American express
loffice, and a careful search failing to
discover its whereabouts, as last hope
It was determined to examine the sweep
hgs, it being barely possible that it
might have fallen among the waste pa
per and not have been noticed. This
paper is one of the perquisites of Mrs.
Charlotte Mette, an estimable French
woman who has the care of number of
offices in the vicinity, and who is noted
for her scrupulous honesty. According
ly one of the clerks went to her house
and questioned her, when the old lady,
In dismay, said: 81 have to-day sell my
two bag old paper to de mans" This
complicated matters, and the two start
ed for the place where the dealer in old
paper keeps his stock, and here they
found some women sorting paper, Mrs.
Mette's two bagfuls not yet having been
touched. She took hand in the work
herself, and excitedly tossed over old
envelopes, newspapers, scraps, strings,
and the indescribable contents of such
catchall, when glad "I've got i'm; 1
got 'im!" and, sure enough, there was
the package intact. -Detrott Free Press.

in a chiid's education is the eye; tnat
through it it gains not only its sense Oh
the methods and ways OF existence VI
others, but even the means for the maln-
tenanee of its own; nor does it occur TO
the parents for an instant that many OF
the mental as well as bodily attributes
of growing child are fashioned even
if they are not created, by the coEdltion
of the eye alone. A child is put to
school without the slightest inquiry on
the part of the parent, and much less on
the part of the teacher, whether 1t mas
the normal amount of sight; whether 1t
sees objects sharply and well Defined or
indistinctly and distorted; whether it be
near-sighted or far-sighted; whether it
sees with one or two eyes; or, finally, II
it does see clearly and distinctly, wheth-
er it is not using quantity OF nervous
force sufficient after time not only to
exhaust the energy of the visual organ
but of the nervous system a large.--Dr.

White Clover.

The distant hills the long day thro'
Have tainted in haze OF blue;
The sun has been a burning fire,
Inc DAY has been a warm desire,
But all desire is over.
The lights are fading from the west,
The night has brought a dreamy rest,
And deep In yonder wood is heard
The sudden singing of bird,
While here an evening wind has stirred
A slope set thick with clover.
The fields have lost their lingering light,
The path is dusty thro' the night
Inc clover is too sweet to lose
Her fragrance with the gathering dews,
The skies are warm above her;
The cricket pipes his song again,
the cows are waiting in the lane,
The shadows fall adown the hill,
And silent is the whip poor will,
But shro' the summer twilight still
You smell the milk white clover.
The glory of the day has ceased,
me moon has risen in the east,
The distant hills, the meadow near,
Are Dathed in moonlight, soft and clear.
That wells the landscape over.
And born of rare and strange perfume,
Pure as the clover's odorous bloom,
Dear hopes. that are but half confessed,
Dim thoughts and longings NIL the breast
TIL lost again in deeper rest
Among the blossomed clover.

One in q Thousand.

She's one In a thousand"
Said old farmer Grey.
As he waded knee deep
In the sweet-scented hay,
You won't ind her like. marin,
From here to the town
That woman out there
In the calico gown.
"H you could have seen her
That morning in May,
When I stopped at her fathers
And took her away
A likely young bride. marin,
30 blooming and fair,
And clipper as that little amb
Frtsking therei
When first we were married,
And all for my sake"
(And here the old farmer
Leaned hard on his rake,)
She gave up her music
And gave up her books
No nonsense about her
You know by her looksp
And If you should lose herP'
Iventured to say.
The old farmer sighed.
And looked down at his hay.
"Twould nigh break my heartW
He replied with a tear;
As now helps uncommonly
High about herep"

Physical Prime.

The fact that "Blower" Brown, who
won the great six days. match in Eng
land by score of 543 miles, and that
Weston, who won it back from him by
a score of $50 miles, were both over 40
years of age seem to show that for some
efforts men reach their physical prime
later than has been supposed. For
athletics of some kinds man is at his
best under 80, as in wrestling, swift
short distance running, boxing, etc.
But in long distance matches, which are
trials rather of endurance than of
strength and dexterity, the men. of over
40 have left the young men far behind,
and utterly broken down, while they
came out fresh at the finish. Some
thing analogous to this is found in trot-
ting horses. Horses that run reach
their prime at four or five years; the
trotters often do their best work at the
age of II or IA years. The reason may
perhaps be in this, youth is more sup
pie and flexible, and its movements,
therefore, less regular and system
attic than those of maturity. The
walk of young man has not that
machine-like regularity and precision
that characterize the pace of q walker
of long practice. There is consequently
some loss of power. The suppleness
that is necessary to enable the athlete
to run at top of speed, is in his way
when machine-like precision of pace is
the great desideratum. The same re-
mark applies to the trotting horse. The
trot is usually an acquired gait, the
result of long practice and training. The
steadiness of stride that does not ''break
up" is of the utmost Importance. But
still the recent result of the pedestrian
in England, which twice gave
he victory to men over 40, when the
men Of 25 and so were utterly prostrat-
I'd by fatigue, shows that with good
care of ourselves we may keep our phys
cal energies up to a later period of
life than is ordinarily supposed. If q
nan is in his physical prime for any
purpose at 40, he ought not to be far

Aliens Domestic Life.

At the time he was a candidate for
Congress he was sutton for the hand
of the daughter of General Macarthur,
who was his political opponent, and,
we believe, engaged to be married to
her. Perhaps not engaged, though, as
she afterward married a Colonel Coons
of Louisiana. Colonel Coons, however,
soon died, and, in the course of time,
Allen renewed his suit and was accept
ed. During his second term in the Sem
ate the wedding day was appointed, and
every thing made ready for the mar
riage. Just about this time the Texas
annexation question came up and he
wrote to his affianced, who was at the
time living in Cincinnati, asking her to
postpone the ceremony until that ques-
ton was settled. To this she consented
and the nuptials were celebrated as soon
afterward as he could leave. He took
his bride back with him to Washington,
and for nearly two years life was to him
but long summers day of happiness.
Never was husband loved more faithful
ly or trustingly than he by her; never
wife more tender and affectOnately than
she by him. In January, 1847, his wife
died, leaving an infant child, the daugh-
ter who has since grown up to be
the head of his household and of her
husbands. At the time of his wife's |
death there were no railroads connect
ing the capital with the West. The
fond husband would not think for a mo-
ment of consigning the remains of the |
one he loved and held most dear to a
grave amid strangers, and SO he decided
to transport them to Chillicothe for
burial. So he procured the services of
an undertaken and started with them,
he riding behind on horseback. When
night would overtake them they would
stop at the nearest heel, and he would
have the coffin takeI from the hearse
and borne to his own apartment, where
he kept watch DER it until morning
came and time o start again. More
than a week elapsed in this mournful
trip; yet 1t no moment during that time
was his nournful gaze taken away from
the last remains of her whom he had
loved so dearly in life, and could scarce
part with in death. After her burial he
to Washington and finished
his term of Office, and then he betook
himself with his child to the home which
he now enjoys, and where he for SO
ong led a life of retirement among his

LEPRosY has made its appearance in
several parts of the Spanish province of
Alicante, and the authorities, alarmed
by the number of cases and the mortal
ity, have taken steps to establish a
special hospital for lepers. In the prov
ince of Valencia 116 cases were reported
last year, of which II proved fatal and
in this province there has existed for a
long time a leper's hospital. Leprosy
is known there under two names, the
malady of Maures and the malady of
St. Lazarus; and it manifests itself I'M
der two forms, the tubercular, or leprosy
of the Greeks, and the vulgar, or lep-
rosy of the Jews. Cases of recovery
are extremely rare. Full statistics re-
specting it are not to be procured, as its
victims often resort to concealment.
The notion that leprosy is to be found
now only in Asia and Africa is errone-
Gus; it is met with in various countries
