And there, where open the woodland way. Upon a giant bowlder, gray.

Would'st thou and I, wa belle, might be, To wander there awhile Might live a day in that old time When gay word set themselves to rhyme As ruby lips to smile. But only for a day, ma belle. However, bright the honeyed spell, Would there I care to stray ; Content am I with any spot If thou wilt only share my lot, Let that be what it may. So when the swallows southward fly, And swift the golden months flit by And winter shrouds the dell. My heart, like autumn, gay"and glad, Will never know of sorrows sad If thou art there, ma belle, Clinton Scotlard in Boston Transcript. Ihe following frem a correspondent of the Albany Cultivator will be of interest to those who take pride in their poultry yard : A correspondent writes that the largest eggs he ever got were from Houdans, 1 which were about six to the pound Houdan hens, when fully matured, lay hxge, rather longish, while eggs, but they will not do it until two or three years old. The largest and richest eggs that I ever met with were from the Spanish and Hamburg. These two fowls crossed produce eggs very lage, and rival the turkey eggs in fineness and richness. Brown Leghorn eggs ordin arily weigh nine to the pound, on . the average ; selected ones probably would go seven to the pound. There has of late been an improvement in size of the Asiatic egg over the first introduced Shanghai fowl Some of the vanties, as well as many of their crosses, lay eggs rivalling in size those of any other variety. In quality they do not excel, usually possessing small yolks Ihe t rue. Jirah ma egg is rather smaH, and of a fresh coffee color, with thick, heavy shells. The eggs are generally uniform in size and oval in shape. T o tA It Aura Trr, ."

Geese, four to the pound, lay 20 per annum. Guineas, eleven to the pound, lay 60 per annum. The quality as well as the quantity of eggs is crreatlv owing to the keeping. Many times the above weights may be exceeded, at others not reached. Keeping and man agement have much to lo with it. While it is to be regretted that so many of our valuable fowls appear to have disadvantage, consequent on mdmerent rations, there are many times when highly prized ami tended specimens do honor to the variety. Everybody who will stop to think must admit that the gates at the rauroad depots are a wise provision. One must show his ticket before he can pass to the train, and it is not once in a thousand tunes that a passenger can go astray. Ana yei it gaus i -. i uin 1 annoys lots of people to be railed off , nenneJ up antl be obliged to exhibit a I ' ticket. Yesterday morning a very stern and dig nified man with a gnp-sjck in his hand, tried to walk through the gates at the Cen tral Depot, and when asked for his ticket he haughtily replied : It is in my pocket." "Let me see it?" 1 will not. My word should be proof that I hive it." " Have to show your ticket, sir." ' I wont submit to any such indignity," said the stern man, and he didn't. He entered the freight sheds, passed through a fljur car, climbed over a lot ef hides and ciept under a baggage car,. and finally reached the train he was after. A brake man stood at the steps and asked : "Going West, sir?" " No; going East:" "Then yonr train won't go for three hours and a half yet. This train goes West." And the worst of it all was the man at the gate and a tlozen others caught an and raised such a laugh that the stern mm went down into the freight house and hid behind a box car.

A correspondent ia Jackson, .Mississippi, write as follows concerning the marriage insurance mania in that State : Tlie marriage insurance craze in this State is astonishing. Some time ago one or two companies were started upon the as sessment plan, proposing to pay a specified amount upou the marriage of a member, provided that no one could claim a benefit who married before the expiration of six month from date of certificate of member ship. Very soon, other associations were organized, proposing to pay in three mouths and in May one was launched proposing to pay for each day a member remained single; and to-day there are over thirty such organ izations in Jackson alone, to say nothing of other places. Men and women are investing all they can earn in this wild scheme. Merchants leave their stores in charge of employes, if they can find any who are not as crazy as as themselves, to run the companies or speculate in the risks, and sober, staid church members are running wild after chances in this mttrimonial lottery. If 3ou go out upon the streets, you will see men hurrying along with their hands full of these so-called policies, or other- papers pertaining to these concerns, and if you approach a group of persons j-ou will almost certainly hear them comparing risks and calculating the possibilities of realizing on their policies before the concerns fail. If it is ascertained that a party is pro posing to marry, lie or she, perhaps both, are besieged by men proposing to insure them and pay them a pro rata of the profits. -1 heard of one party who mar ried a few days since who waa in sured in- two hundred companies. When one of these insured persons marries, men are posted off to be on hand, and get up the proofs so as to file them and get their first chance of the next assessment. A few days since, at a wedding in this city, men took the minister in hand to sign proofs of mar riage before the bridal party left the church. Almost every man you meet is carrying several risks on persons who insure with the distinct understanding that they will marry on a certain day, not far off". Such a craze this writer never saw ; gamblers have quit the card tables and faro banks to en gage in this speculation, and it is said that the lotteries are about to suspend for want of ticket-buyers. Was ever such a thing carried on before in the name of insurance ? Every sensible man knows that the com panies can't' last, but each one expects to realize on the policies he holds before the collapse. "Somebody will be left, but it will not be me," says every man you talk to about it." Whew!!! What a fraud. But this is not all the sacred institution of marriage Is degraded; the wishes of the families most interested are sometimes set aside through the management of men who care nothing about the happiness of the parties, but simply wish to realize upon their invest ments. It is said that in some instances 11 A. 1L1 ' tnac men nay,maPmfWt.tl.tM i to get the money, and then immediately apply for a divorce. Insurance Monitor. The Amusement of Fault-finding. The word fault-finding is very significant It denotes something far beyound mere taking notice of and condemning ill doing. That is duty, and not seldom a burdensome one. Delinquencies are either wholly over looked or excuses for them are found in order to escape the disagreeable work of reprimand or admonition. Not so with fault finding, which is a deliberate looking for, searching out and inventing faults and attacking their victim. - Fault-finding is a prevailing, apparently a fascinating, amusement. It is pursued with all the eagerness, skill and persever ance with which the hunter seeks his game. It has such attractions that its devotees are more reckless in their rough riding after their victims than the fox hunter who dash es through grain fields and gardens in his exciting chase. Your veteran fault finder follows his sport through the very houses of his friends, and delights to disturb the peace of his own household with his startling "Hallo!" The dexterity which practice will give to an industrious iouower oi ims amuseuioiti, is marvelous. Just as a well-trained pointer of good stock, will "snifFthe tiinted breeze" while the cold-blooded cur goes heedlessly on, so an expert in this line will nose out most unexpected game. Apparently the greater pains one takes to avoid remark, and the more conscientiously he tries to win deserved approval, the greater the de light of the fault-finder in covering him with confusion ; and it is well-known that the most scrupulous fidelity is accompanied with greatest sensitiveness, which gives this cruel sportsman an easier triumph. Like other game this has its pains. The recoil of his explosive acts strongly upon the hunter of this stripe. Faces which otherwise might hve been attractive are contracted, furrowed and utterly sporiled by these effects of their repeated charges. The spirit which moves him will not let him enjoy even his own ways in peace, but even haunts him to the undoing of every delight. Like the porcupine rolled the wrong way, he torments his own person, and so in" some measure reaps his proper reward. From Outing, for October. , r ti f A!. a The London Spectator says : Miss Night ingale has pointed out how constantly the mental state of the dying depends en their physical condition. As a rule, she tells us, in acute cases interest in their own danger is rarely felt. " Indifference, except with regard to bodily suffering, or to some duty the dying man desires to perform, is the far more usual state. But patients who die of consumption very frequently die in a state of seraphic mind and peace ; the counten ance almost expresses rapture. Patients who die of cholera, peritonitis, etc.. on the contrary, often die in a state approaching despair. In dysentery, diarrhoea, or lever, the patient often tiies in a state of indiffer ence." Those who have carefully examined the dead on a battle field or in the streets after an emeute, are struck with the fact that while the expression on the frees of those who have died of gunshot wounds is one cf agony and distress, the dead by sword have a calmer expression, though their wounds often seem more painful to the eye. A very careful observer, who was through the Indian mutiny, entirely con firmslhis. After giving several instances he says : " A rapid death by steel is almost painless. Sabre edge or point divides the nerves so quickly as to give little pain. A bullet lacerates.' . BROGLIE & SPEAR, Manufacturing and Importing Jewelers ! ! 75 PORT STREET, HONOLULU.

Where bhall the augel's finger reBt, When he comes down to the baby 'a nest? Where shall the angel's touch remain When he awakens my baby again ?" Still as she bent and sang so low, A murmur into her music broke, And aha paused to hear, for she could not know The baby's angel spoke : " Cheek or chin, or knuckle or kne. Where shall the baby's dimple be ? Whore shall my finger fall and rest When I come down to the baby's nest f Where shall my finger's touch remain When I wake yonr baby agaiu ?" Silent the mother sat and dwelt Long on tho sweet delay of choice, fc And then by her baby's side she knelt. And sang with pleasant voice : ' Not on the limb, O angi l dear 1 For the charms with its youth will disappear ; Not on the cheek thall the dimple For the harboring smile will fade and flee ; But touch thou the chin with impress deep, And my baby the angel's seal shall keep." NOTES ON SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. What is claimed to be a marked im provement in gas regulators consists in con structing the apparatus essentially in three parts as follows : A small glass ilabk, used as an air chamber ; an U-tube. one end of which is of rather small bore compared with that of the other, to which latter the appara tus is attached for regulating the . tempera ture ; and, lastly, the tube through which the gas passes. Both limbs of the U-tube are nearly filled with mercury when the regulator is to be used. When it is to bo employed with an air bath, the ilsk is placed in the, bath ; and, by having re course to a plunger inside of a piece of very small tubing, a sole-leather disk of the proper size, a pin, and some sealing wax the desired temperature is produced, and then the instrument will automatically main tain this temperature, without further trouble or attention, for any length of time desired. An improedjhermometer '3 among the recent foreign inventions, its purpose being the rating ofternperatures of liquids which are being raised to points above the range of ordinary thermometers or pyrometers. It consists of a tube containing special fluids, according to the tempera tlre to be noted, water being employed for points below 450 Ldfyrrees. Theo flnrtfvve',:n? BCl on the machinery in tbe upper iiart, wnicn. turns the han "'. m a dial face. The tube is always within -he liquid to be tested, and close opening in the cover of the vessel. allows the pro'ection of the dial face above. This does away with the uncertainity and unreliability attendant upon the old method of taking the thermometer out of the mnsa to note the temperature. To the dial face is also attached an alarm guage tosingal a too high temperature or sudden change. A series of measurements have been made by a party of German engineers, to de termine the rate and character of the move ment of glaciers, these observations being supplementary to those made some time ago by the same company. Their first oberva tions seemed to prove a considerable and unexpected degree of irregularity in the movement -it being found, for example, that the same point could have a motion in both a vertical nd horizontal direction, and that two points not very far apart in some cases moved at a different rate, or even in opposite directions. The later observations give, on the whole a rather negative result, since the motions measured were much smaller than those measured before those in a vertical direction for example, hardly exceeding the unavoidable errors of observations, the amount, however of observed phenomena indicating real ice movements. A method of compressing fluid steel has attracted much attention in England. Steam pressure is applied to the tp of the mould immediately after the rnetal is poured The steam is drvn from a receiver fixed to the side of the ingot frame, the conduct ing pipes having one end permanently attached to the receiver, and the other end is joined by a coupling with the lid of a mould. It is s:iid that in practice no . higher pressure than from 80 to 150 pounds has appeared to be nece.ssiry, the higher pressure being used in the case of mild steels, It appears that under this process, the ingots are turned out free from porosity and with the advantage of a perfectly level top. In addition to con solidating the ingot, the top of the latter is also cooled by the steam, thus allowing it to be conveyed to the reheating furnace sooner than is convenient in the ordinary process. One of the hardesr woods in existence is that of the desert iron wood tree, which grows in the dry washes along the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Its specific gravity is nearly the same as that of lignum vita;, and it has a black heart so hard, when well seasoned, that it will turn the edge of an axe, and can scarcely be cut by a well tempered saw. In burning it gives out an intense heat, and charcoal made from it is hardly second to anthracite. To make good buns for lea, stir about half a pound of butter with one cup of cream and a half pound of sugar, and beat them together until light; add four eggs, well beaten, and at the same time stir in three quarters of a pound of flour, first mix ing with it a teaspoonful and a half of bik ing powder ; flavor with a little nutmeg, and, if you choose, add currants and a little brandy. Roll them in the shape of round biscuits, rub over the top with a'little milk in which sugar has been dissolved, and bake at once.
