Death of the God of Fear.
Sind (India) Times.

L
An amusing spectacle was Witnessed
at Shikarpore round the hideous image
of an earthern God representing fear.
The image, huge, out of all proportions
wore an extremely dreadful appearance.
About 1000 people assembled to cele-
brate the death of this god Of dread.
An old woman was sitting by the image,
representing the mother of the dreaded
deity. A circle of about fifty feet in
diameter was formed round the image,
in the midst Of which moved hundreds
of spectators, mon and women crying al
the top Of their voices: Fear is dead!'
Fear is dead" The old woman nea,
the image, on hearing Of the death Oh
her son, broke out in lamentable strains,
mourning the loss of her beloved son
the god of fear Some women again,
afraid, we should think. lest the deity OF
fear may not be actually dead, and
aight turn his wrath against those who
were shouting his death, reverently APP
preached the idol, kissed his feet and
scattered fullahs upon it to propitiate its
ANGER.

Emma, Lady Hamilton, Her Origin.

She was the offspring OF poor parents,
and was born at Preston, in Lancashire,
in 1854. Her father, Henry Lyon-a
laborer, it is assertcd-died while she
was still an infant. His widow then re-
moved to Harwarden, in Fintshire,
where she managed to support herself
and her little Emma. Rags, bare feet,
and hard fare, We're the child's portion;
and ono can imagine her romping with
The village companions, little thinking
what experience awaited her in the dim
future. Her childhood fed. At 13 she
entered the service of Mr.. Thomas, the
local apothecary, as nursery maid.
After three years (by some accounts,
unhappy .ones) she left her situation.
She had often heard Of London, its
wonders, it's attractions; and London
wards her thoughts were now directed.
Accordingly, we find her next at Black
friars, attending on the children of DR..
Budd, a physician attached to ST. Bar.
tholomew's Hospital. The scene was
presently changed. Tired of Blackfriars
and the young Budds she obtained a
situation as general drudge at fruiter
er's shop in st. Ja1nes's Market an
open space of ground long since built
over, lying between Pail Mall and King
street. She was now between II and
10. and extremely beautiful. Her
beauty too was of superior sort, which
hard, work could not alter. A lady,
coming one day TO the shop where she
was employed, was so struck by her
appearance that she offered to take her
into her service. The offer was accept
ed. Emma's duties in her new place
seem to have been light. She had
learned to read, and her many leisure
hours were passed in devouring the
silly .romances then in fashion, which
formed the favorite intellectual aliment
Of her employer. OF an evening
she went often to the play
for her scene of enchantment,
Her power Of mimicry was astonishing,
and she could initiate all the actors and
actresses she saw to the life. She had
also an accurate ear for music, and a
fresh voice. Her. fellow servants
thought highly of these gifts; her. mis-
tress then regarded them less favorable.
The mimic was dismissed. Emma

THE SILVER LINING.
BY ANNA WILSON.

There are times In our lives
When sorrow viii fall
And blot out the sunshine
hike gloomy pail; ~
There are hours when the heart,
SO full Of Its woe,
Will catch not q glimmer
Ofthe fairest glow.
There are days when the objects
That gave us delight
Look dull and unseemly
To our weary sight.
And we long for some haven
OF quiet and rest,
Where by the worlds dreary trouble
Wed ne'er be oppressed.
There are moments when trials
We are given to bear,
Press 80 heavily on us
Their burdens of care,
That shadows and darkness
Envelop the soul,
And the wild waves of anguish
Tumultuously roll.
There are visions Of gladness
Around us the while,
But they have not the power
The gloom to beguile.
For our eyes are not open
To see the clear light
There is nothing but sadness
And pitiful blight.
But no matter how threatning
Or sOmber may be
The clouds that surround US,
At last we may see
The bright silver lining,
In Its glory unfold,
And light with its splendor
The darkness 80 cold.
For back of the shadows,
Tho heavy they seem,
Gods light is still shining
With steady CLEAN. =
And the star-beam Of hope
Now hidden from sight
Will emerge at the dawning
From the shade of night.

facture of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the

had sense enough to realize that it was
impossible for him to direct the move

his way out. Of his dilemma the more

indignant, and, after side. tracking al
the trains on the road, he closed his Of

manned on the side-tracks all night,
waiting for orders to move, while the

Among other adventures who figured
at Washington early in 1862 was the
Chevalier Wykof, who was really col

but who protested to be the first gentle
man of the land, and issued his edicts
on all matters concerning society. At
last he was summoned before q COM

and asked from whom he had obtained

message, which he had telegraphed to
his employers. Notoriety to him was
fame, and he mysteriously refused to
state from whom he had received the
document, saying that it came to him
under an obligation of strict secrecy
which he felt himself bound to respect.
It was rumored and generally believed
that Wykof obtained a sight at the
message from Mrs. Lincoln, who used
to take him to ride in her carriage, and
listen attentively to his accounts of
European courts. The president was
much annoyed by this scandal, and
visited the committee confdentially,
while Gen. Sickles was active in ar
ranging the affair. Wykoff finally told
the committee that the information was
furnished to him by q man named Watt,

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME
Frosted Glass.

A method of ornamenting frosted
glass for those who cannot draw, is to
choose some pretty pattern of lace cur
tains, lay it smoothly on thin paper, and
with a pencil trace the outlines. Then
after making as many layers as you re-
quire patterns, cut the designs at one
time though the several layers of the
paper with sharp-pointed scissors.
Fasten the patterns with tacks to the
frame around each pane of glass that you
wish to decorate. Tie up piece of put
yin piece of thin muslin, leaving
enough of the latter to hold instead of
handle. With this, dabble all over
that part of the glass which the pat
tern leaves bare. When the putty on
the glass has dried, remove the paper
and varnish the glass.
