LINE OF LIHGT.

A woman croons by her lonely fire,
Watching her babe with its suffering cry,
And her thoughts are far with its sailor sire,
And the night is wild and the wind is hgn.
ooh, who can ever bring back again
The glad, glad days that we had OF old?
Does every pleasure pass into pain?
Oh, a frozen hope lies SO bitter cold"
But the larks will be stirring by-and-by,
And already there's light in the distant sky.
The ship lies wrecked on the wide west sea,
And the fierce birds quarrel and scream
above,
With their savage laughter that seems to be
A demons scott at the end OF love:
"Ha! ha! ha ha! and it comes to this,
Ye strong, brave men, now your day is done
Your corpses have but the kelpie's kiss,
And your last hard struggle is known to
none.'' gr43
But the sun is still shining out of sight,
And has left behind him Line OF light.
There is summer once more upon the sea,
And sunshine once moreln the lonely home;
The babe is gone from the woman's knee,
And she knows her husband can never
come;
But as she sits she is singing low:
'The loves have lost does my father keep
And he bids me his happy secret know.
Which is only seen by the eyes that weep
The sun is still shining, though out of sight
And the darkest day has its line of light:

An Artful DOdger.
lSf.andard.l

once knew an old fellow, Billy w.,
who confined himself to particular spe-
cies of trickery for many years, until,
take command of clearinghouse of his
own. He was little tight-limbed fell
low, with face perfectly innocent of
whisker. Looking at him in his ordin-
airy attire, when the days work was over,
there was no telling his age,which might
have been any where between thirty and
sixty, for aught that could be seen.
Billy would go out about ten in the
morning, dressed in suit of shabby
black, looking The picture Of genteel
poverty. Getting into busy quarter,
he would involve himself in q
large crowd Of rushing vehicles,
and tumble under the wleels and the
horses ieeS as if knocked down. He was
little and 1.-The, and so adroit in this par
ticular performance that ne could, and
did thousand times over, go within a
hairs breadth OF destruction without sus-
tanning any more damage than be went
ed, as bleeding nose, a crushed lat and
few rents In his garments. These last,
it may be remarked, were prepared be-
forehand, SO that a certain number OF
seams were always sure to be open on
very slight provocatiou indeed. Billy
would be hauled out of his predicament
quite exhausted and helpless pitiable
looking object, in fact-and be carried
to the nearest tavern. Here he would le-
ceive restorative, and revive when til.
crowd was thickest to tell some
affecting story os family distress,
the thought of which urging him
along the streets, obiivioas of their perils,
had brought about his accident. SYM
pathy being thus excited, COLLECTION
would thus, be made, and Billy would
limp of when not SEM home in cab,
very much thes better for his disaster.
Three hours latter he would repeat the
performance somewhere else, this time
In the guise of an elderly woman; and
once again, as night grew dark, in the
character Of o newsvender. or something
of that sort. His snake. ups" indeed

Dying Words.

1t is probably natural that at the last
the scenes which have made the strong
est impressions in life should be re-
called by memory. The old mountain
eer, when he comes to die, with his last
whisper says his snowshoes are lost;
with the stage-driver he is "on down
grade and cannot reach the brake;" the
miner cannot get to the air-pipe; the
sailor says eeight bells have sounded"
and the gambler plays his last trump.
A little girl died here few years ago,
and, as her mother held her wrist and
noted the faint and Pickering pulse, q
smile came to the wan face and the child
whispered: There is no more desert
here, mamma, but all the world is full
Of flowers" A moment later the smile
became transfxed. In an Eastern city,
not long ago, a Sister Of Charity was
dying, and at last from stupor she
opened her eyes and said at is
strange: every kind word that I have
spoken in life; every tear that I have
shed, has become living flower around
me, and they bring to my senses an in
cense inefable. = Viygiaaifs (Neu.)

AMERICAN ingenuity has struck out a
path in the shape ofmanufacturing wood
en- corks. The wood for the purpose is
first made soft and plant by being de-

ties. The method of softenlng the wood
is the secret Of the inventor. A factory
has already been erected at Sonoma for
the manufacture of the new cork.

LONDON GIo6e:-"It will be with a
large amount Of satisfaction that per-
sons interested in epistolary lore will
learn that the letters of Peter the Great
are at length to be given to theI public.
For many years past the correspondence
of the greatest of Russia heroes has been
living uninvesigated in room in the ST.
Petersburg Public Library. To edit the
lettels, which numbcr 5000, a special
commission has been appointed by the
Emperor, and it is expected that, includ-
ing the explanatory notes, the work will
fill nearly Is volumes. 1t would be in
teresting to know if Mr.. Schuyler, who
is supposed to be writing biography of
Peter the Great has referred to any of
these letters otherwise, he might fail to
render adequate justice to some points in
his hero's character.

To President Lincoln and large COM


To President Lincoln and large COM
pauy at the White House, Mr.. Murdoch,
tragedian, once read Janvier's poem of
the "sleeping sentinel''-a poem written
in memory of Mr.. Lincolnis clemency in
pardoning young Vermont volunteer at
the very moment when he had been led
out to be shot for sleeping at his post
Before the reading Mr.. Murdoch private
II pointed out to Mr.. Janvier that the
President had ridden in saddle to the
place OF execution, and that there was
therefore no sound of rolling wheels as
described in the poem. Mr.. Janvier
thought it a matter of trifing conse-
quence, and the reading went on. At
the end Mr.. Lincoln and many others
were in tears. The President, v iping the
drops from his cheeks, said hastily, in q
smothered voice: "Very touching, Mr..
Janvier, but did mott go in a coach.'
oh, well. Mr.. Lincoln, = said Mr.. Foote, of
Vermont, 1--WE all know you would have
gone on foot if it had been necessary
"Yes, but the fact is-and let US stick to
the fact-I went on horseback insisted

A characteristic anecdote of Napoleon
is told in the first part Of the memoirs of
the famous Metternich-a book which
has just appeared In Paris, in accordance
with the writer's command, twenty years
after his death. The Prince declares
that among the paradoxes which Nape-
leon was fond of sustaining on questions
of medicine and physiology-subiects for
which he had a kind of pred1lection-he
declared that death was often only the
absence OF energetic will in men. zone
day at st. Cloud he had had a dangerous
fall he had been thrown from carriage
upon post which nearly entered his
stomach, and the next day, when asked
him how he was, he answered, with the
utmost gravity; 4 yesterday completed
my experiments on the power of the will.
When my stomach was injured 1 felt
life escaping from me; I had only just
time to say to myself that would not
die, and am alive. ANY one else would
have died.
