A Correspondence that has Closed.

In connection with the wide pre-
vaIence OF diphtheria everywhere, q
distressing story is told here just now.
A Hartford gentleman who has no chill
dren had friend in another State who
had five young children. When they
had leisure the childless man would
write to his friend commiserating him
in fun on hi, crowded home. The reply
would come full of sympathy for the
empty house in Hartford. The other
day, having few idle moments, the
Hartford gen leman wrote another OF
his letters of COMMUNICATION over the
FIVE crying little children. After he
had mailed it he took up New York
paper and discovered the names OF the
whole five in the death notices-swept
away by diphtheria. The humorous
correspondence has closed. Hartford

What Next &?

Don't trouble yourself about the next
thing you are to do. No man can do
the second thing. He can do the first.
If he omits it the wheels of the social
Juggernaut roll over him, and leave
him more or less crushed behind. Ii
he does it, he keeps in front and finds
room to do the next again; and so he is
sure to arrive at something, for the on
ward march will carry him with it.
There is no saying to what perfection Of
success man may come who begins
with what he can do, and uses the
means at his hand. He makes q vor-
tex of action, however slight, toward
which all the means instantly begin to
gravitate. Let man but lay hold OF
something-anything, and he is in the
high road to success, though it may
be very long before he can walk COM
fortably in it.

On What Did Atlas Stand.

At school near London the learned
master was lately giving lecture on
astronomy, and after alluding to the
representation of the world on the
shoulders of Atlas, he asked the class
generally On what Atlas stoode One
rer lied, as the world was made out of
chaos, he must stand on chaos; another
coniectured on rock; when lad from
Cardiff, at the bottom of the class, ex-
claimed:
Il know, sir"
Indeed" replied the doctor; ''pray
tell US on what you think he stood"
81 know" answered the boy, "but it
is not my turn yet"
When the question passed to him, the
whole class was on tiptoe to hear the
young Welshman's idea; when, with
an air of the greatest consequence he
exclaimed:
"Why, sir. on his legs, to be sure! On
what else could he stand"

Curiosities OF New Mexico.

a paper published at Santa Fe, New
Mexico, says: Some very interesting
curiosities are to be seen at the jewelry
store of Albert Call, on San Francisco
street, one Of which is a perfectly round
sandstone, weighing perhaps $50 pounds.
found in tie Gallsteo district. 1t is
supposed to be water formation, and
is smooth and evenly shaped, resembling
an immense cannon ball. Another arti-
Gle of interest is splendid specimen Of
ala hastor, found about eighty miles
from Santa Fe; but the most peculiar
of all the curiosities is a large piece OF
white stone, said to have been broken
from q continuous lining of kind Of
natural tunnelor culvert within thirty
miles OF this city. The stone is perfectly
smooth on one side, as if worn so by
water, is rough on the other, and is
about three or four inches thick. The
man who brought it in says the tunnel
from which it was taken is about six
feet in diameter, is perfectly round. and
is coated with this stone lining on all
sides. forming kind of stone pipe. The
discoverer went into the tunnel only
about 200 yards, but says that he walked
on top of it for miles, being guided by
the hollow sound made by striking
above the culvert. It is thought that
the tunnel is about thirty miles in
length, and that it was formed by a
stream of water which gradually be-
came coated, as above described. by this
water formation. There is also on ex-
hibition petritied cactus. about eight
icches through one way, and five the
other. It is as perfect as when in its
original condition.

The Old Valentine.

To-day they brought valentine t, me-
dainty missive. In each tender word
learned OF a warm heart which fain would be
My own. But, ah! no sweet response has
stirred
MY heart to answering chords OF happiness,
Fen though the love which breathes in
every line
Strives like the yearning touch Of caress
With its own fire to kindle also mine.
But on my breast all through this day hath
lain
A faded scrap of paper, blurred and torn.
All me! how long ago since love was slain!
And yet still daily DER its grave mourn.
My own dead love how can turn from thee
Who loved me SO, The heart which thine
had won,
Shall it to new love yieldl 1t must not be-
Still shall it be thine own till lie be done.
Thou in thy lonely grave 80 far away
Mayst rest in peace, and have no thought of
fear
That memory in my breast will turn or stray
From love of thee, and other days so dear.
So Tor the words which this day have read
can but offer friendship since my heart
Lies with its only love low in his bed
Beneath the daisies, nor from him will part

MoIes as Detectives.

Moles work in the dark, but they
sometimes bring curious things to light;
and last week a mole accomplished
more than all the detectives had done in
furnishing proofs of crime that had
been committed. A bank clerk named,
Jandar absconded some time ago from
Berlin. taking with him great quantity
OF money and securities, the banks prop
erty. He was arrested at Kiel and
brought back, but nothing could be dis
covered as to what he had done with
the bank notes and coupons that were
missing, until the mole set it to work
and revealed it all. A few days ago
gardener was working in the grounds
of Bellevue castle, royal
villa in the Berlin Thiergarten, when
he noticed little molehill which ap-
peared to have been freshly cast mp,
and from which some torn scraps of
paper were protruding. He was curious
enough to pick some of these up and ex.
anime them, when he found that the
writing was all about money. The
papers were then dug up, and, on
further examination, they turned out to
be the missing documents-the pass
book Of the Imperial bank, some Mem
ingen lottery shares, coupons and other
valuable State securities. 1t seems
that the culprit had buried them in
the ground while he was hiding in this
garden, and just before ne changed his
DIRE to the disguise in which lac tried
to escape, But he did not think that
poor little mole would betray him after

WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.

Not costly dress nor queenly air;
Not jeweled hand, complexion lair;
Not graceful form nor lofty tread;
Not paint, nor curls, nor splendid head;
Not pearly teeth nor sparkling eyes;
Not voice that nightingale outvies;
Not breath as sweet as eglantine;
Not gaudy gems nor fabrics fine;
Not all the stores OF fashions mart;
Nor yet the Establishment OF art;
Not one, nor all OF these combined,
Can make one woman true, refined,
IT'S not the casket that We prize,
But that which in the casket lies!
These outward charms that please the sighs
Are naught unless the heart is right.

Man and Woman.
WHAT MAKES A MAN !

A truthful spirit, loving mind;
Full OF affection for its kind;
A spirit firm, ere ct and free,
That never basely bends knee;
That will not bend feathers weight;
OF slavery's chance for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within,
That never makes league with sin;
That snaps the letters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and Him alone,
And bows no more than at His throne,
And trembles at no tryant's nod;
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or BAN
This is the soul that makes man.

IMPORTANT 10 THE CIGAR TRADE.
We have recently had our attention called
70 new and important improvement in the
manufacture OF cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutionize the cigar bust
ness, we have had one of our reporters, who
specially conversant with the tobacco and
cigar trade, to interview the inventors and
latentees. The invention was patented May
IA, 1873, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years. experience
IN the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally of the very best seed and Havana
'obaccos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
NAY be mentioned: A positive retention OF
