In the poem called "Nell," ju'it published in London, Mr. Robert Buohanan pictures th. craving for tha itimnlus of country life which come, upon a poor woman born and. brad in crowded streota, and the aw with which Na ture strike, her : ' e e For twaasiek of hanfar.ooldaal strife, And took a tad :ea fansy la my head To try tha aosn'ry, acd earn my br-ad Oat among the Halls, whsr. I had heard one's Bfs Waa aalar and brighter. Bo, tint day I took my basket np aad stole away, Jnst after saarisa. As I went alonj.

Tin. houses whir, the gentle folks aboda. And gardens fall of Bowers, on erery side, .. That msd m. walk on quicker on, on, oa - As if I was asleep with baK-sbnt .yea; And an at one I saw to my surprise. The houses of th. gentlefolks war. gone. And I was standing stlU, Shading my Jaea, upon a high greea bill; Aad th. bright sua was biasing, And all the blue aboreme sam'd to malt To horning, flashing gold, whll. I was gating On th. great smoky cloud where I had dwelt. TU near forget that day. All was so bright And strange. TJpcn th. grass aroand my feet The rain had hong a million drops of light; Th. air, too, waa so clear and warm and sweat, It seam'd a sin to breath, it. All around Ware Mils and fields-and trees that trembled through A burning, blazing fire of gold and b'.ne; And th.rs waa not a sound. Bare a bird singing, singing ia the skies, And the soft wind, that ran along tb. ground, An 3 blew fall sweetly oa my lips aad eyes. Then, with my henry hands upon my .bait, Because th. bright air pain'd me, trembling, sighing, I stole into a dewy field to rest. And oh, the green grass, where I wss lying. Was fresh aad lirlng aad the bird sang load. Oat of a golds, cload - Aad I was looking np at him and crying I "How swift ths hoars silpt 6a ! And by aad by The san grew red, big shadows fiU'd th. sky. Th. air grew damp with dew, . , And th.dark night was coming down I know. Well, I waa more afraid than erer, then. And felt that I should die in snob a place, Bo back to London town I tnrsed my faoa, - And crept into th. great black streets sgain; And when I breathed th. smoke and heard ths roar.

MISCELLANEOUS. Lies have long legs but weak backs. -Why was Eve created? For Adam's Exprns company. A sermon in fou words: "Shrouds have no pockets." When did Abraham sleep live in a bed t When he slept with his fore fathers. Let not everv sain send thee to the doc tor, every quarrel to the lawyer, or every thirst to the dram shop. - When is a blow from a lady welcome t When she strikes yon agreeably. A colored cook, expecting company of ner own km, was at a loss now to enter tain them. Her mistress said, "Chloe, you must make an apology." 'La !" mis ses, how can 1 make it! I ve got no ap ples, no eggs, nor no butter, no nuffin to make it wid." It is the duty of each member of the Mt Holyoke Female Seminary to write an annual letter, stating whether she is married or single, and other particulars concerning her status and progress. A young lady of the class of 1601 has just written to the class secretary that she is not married, but that she thinks she can see a little cloud that ariseth out of the sea of the future, like a mart's hand. A laughable mistake occurred in a Balti more barber's shop on Thursday. Two gentlemen hung up their coats and sat down to be shaved at about the same time. One of them for whom the operation was completed first arose, and by mistake don ned the other one's coat, in the pocket of which was a wallet containing $2,500, Of! he walked, but a policeman soon overtook him. When the charge against him was explained he became greatly alarmed about the safety of his own coat, in the pocket of which was the sum of $5,000. Expla nations followed, coats were exchanged, and each found his money safe. There is around the earth a girdle of German influence and German culture. Into whatever country or clime the Ger mans go, they carry with them the habits, pastimes and traditions of Fatherland, to which they cling with unyielding tenacity Everywhere they are welcomed, and everywhere they impress much of their national character upon the people with whom they take up their abode. - ' In this country they largely influence our politi cal as well as our social life, uenerally industrious, law abiding and intelligent, they are valuable accessions to any land. An eccentric old California Chinaman, who had been disapointed in a second marriage, betook himself to the mountains, with his infant son.' The son grew to manhood, having never seen a woman. He was trained to worship gods and ab hor devils. At length he accompanied his father to town for prpvisions. where his eye fell upon some pretty girls. "What are they I he asked. "Devils, my son : turn your hsad away," said the father. The son walked to the mountains in si lence, and the father could get no satis factory answer to his questions. At last the young man burst out crying "Oh, father, that tallest devil ! that tallest devil. father!" . A Miraculous Resuscitation. It is related that a woman in Charleston, S. C, begged for eighty dollars to bury her hus band. A benevolent lady visited her home to take her the money. In a dark ened apartment lay the corpse ; the widow crying, and everything looked very mel ancholy. She left the eighty dollars and departed, forgetting her parasol. Return ing, she found the" corpse carefully count ing the money. ' ' ' UirpRBCBKTBD. During camp-m3etinr week in Belfast, Maine, says the Journal of that place, an umbrella that had been taken three years before was returned to its owner. It had the owner's initials marked upon the handle; The Journal thinks there must have been a great awakeniDg of the thief s conscience caused by his attendance at the camp-meeting.

I would have made known this fact lorig ere this, but I was not positively cer tain whether it was really the property oi General McPherson, nor am I yet; but i; it is genuine, I am confident it will be prized and cherished by those who are near and dear to him, as he was loved and admired, not only by his own soldiers, but Dy every true soldier of the Southern army. It may not be amiss to state that I eame in possession of the belt immediately after the battle in front of Atlanta, having Dougni irom a soldier ot the Texas brig- aae.

AFRAID OF HIS EARS. a party, recently, a noted waff found nimseii in tne course ot the evening, m general conversation with a nervous-look ing stranger. Pointing out to him a gen tleman of an inquiring? turn of mind in another part of the room, he said : "Do you see that man there I He has a mania a very unpleasant one, too. He is possessed of the idea that he must bite orf strangers ears, and it has caused dreadful amount of trouble. I do not know whether he will show any of the symptoms to-night, but seems yoa are stranger, I deem it my duty to put you ou your guard; dont let him approach very close to you. Ihe expression of horror that sbread over the face of tbe nervous man clearly proved that he had heard the warnintr. A little later the benevolent informant got an opportunity to tell the inquiring maf tnar, mat man (pointing out tbe warned individual,) was a physical wonder, as a roaring noise could be distinctly heard proceeding trom his ear by getting with in eignieen incnes ot mm. Uur curious iriend was struck with such an unheard of phenomenon, and very properly bern to work himself close enough for a personal investigation. The movement was sen by the nervous man, and great drops of apprehensive sweat oozed out from his brow and trinkled down his cheeks. Near er and nearer approached the one, and more terribly intense grew the horror of the other. . Ihe space between them alow- ly but surely lessening. The curious man within an ace of the "roaring," when the agony of the "roarer" reached its crisis, and clenching his fist he landed it between the "lookers" of the unfortunate searcher after physical wonders; shouting at the top ot his voice : "Bite off my ears, will you ! " The 'effect of this upon the astonished audience was very affecting. The Oyster Trads or Nw Tom. The New York Commercial Advertiser say ' ihe oyster trade is one of the great fea tures of New York, and to any not thor oughly posted around its market and oys ter stands, it may seem "Munchausen" to state that the avercse number of baskets of this delicacy, brought to that city per day, last season excepted, was five hun dred thousand. The trade now,- however, is leginning to spring up, and great prepa rations are being made - for the coming season, lo give some idea of this busi ness, and the statement is within limits, there are employed in the oyster trade of this city alone one thousand sail, of ves sels, that is, about five hundred in the great South Bay, two hundred and fifty in the East River, and the rest around Staten Island. For the management of these vessels, the planting and gathering of the oysters, about five thousand men are re quired, and there are no less than twenty thousand men engaged in bnying, 'selling and serving them after they are landed. The prospects for the coming season are a heavy crop at lower prices than any time since the beginning of the war. Is a Brokik Nick Cubablb f A Lon don letter in the Chicago.

He promptly supported the back with the left knee, took a grasp of the head, and began to pull gradually and pretty strong, wherenpon the girl s eyes opened and there waa an effort at breathing. Increasing the pressnre, the parts suddenly came to their natural po sition, and after a minute or two regular breathing was established.

I believe there ia not an other similar case on record. Of course, much time must not elapse between the injury and the treatment . Pbbsidejttial Pun. Some years ago, at a Burns festival in Cincinnati, it was declared that the best pun ever made was made -by the President Monroe. Some surprise was expressed that Mr. Monroe should have been a facetio'ua man. The stoiy runs something thus: A Scotch servant,', employed about, the Executive mansion who had a broad accent and a good . fund of cold humor, had been charged, by certain persons who had pro jected a monument in honor of something or soiueuouy, wuu a message lo an ap propriate official, who, it seems, was not the President But old Sandy sought the Chief Magistrate, in whose personal ser vice he waa. and conveved the communi cation to him. Mr Monroe instructed him to address the message elsewhere, and thereupon Sandy, persisted like a Scotchman, said, . "Your honnor, it is about the monwrtent." "Well, Sandy," replied Mr. Monroe, drowing" himself up erect and symmetrical, "don't yon see, -J am not the wo yo mttn of of a we no fa t Acts of Animals.

Some the audience saw' them fall, and shout ed fire. Immediately the people were seized with such a panic- as can only be occasioned by an alarm of lire in a crowd ed building.

He whipped his horses, and they sprang quickly forward. This unexpected movement threw Mrs. Walker out of the wagon. She fell upon the planks between the rails, which servo to enable teams to pass, and in an instant after the train was grinding her body al most to a jelly.,- The remains of the un fortunate victim were found beside the' track, the entire train haring passed over them.
