There’* a beautiful face in the liiatifc air, Which follows me ever au<i Deer, With smiling ejcg a d dark brown hair. With voiceless lip*, yet with breath of prayer That I feel but cannot hear. The dimpled hand and ringlet of gold Lie low in a marble sleep : I stretch my hand for a clasp as of old, But the empty air is strangely cold. And my vigils alone I keep. There's a sinless brow with a radiant crown, .And a cross laid down in the dust ; There’s a >»nile where never a shade comes now, And tears more from thos« dear eyes flow, S« sweet in their innocent trust. Ah/well ! and Summer is come again, Singinjr her same old songs ; But. oh ! it sounds like a sob of pain, As it flo is *.n the sunsbin • and the rain, O’er the hearts ol the world's great throng. There’s a beautiful region above the skies, And I b ng to reach its shore. For I know I shall find my treasure there. The laughing eyes and dark brown hair, Of the loved one gone before. The Aoe of Man. — Professor Faraday adopts Flourin'* physiological theory that the age of ala” is 1' 0 years. 'J he'Jura tion of life believes to be measured torn the tme of giowth. When once the hones and epiphyses are ui ited the body {.rows no more, and it isat twenty years this union is effected in man The i atur.il terminating of life is five, removes from the several pi ints. Mao being twenty years in grow iog, lives |ive time twenty year*, that is to say. one hundred years ; the Ca-nel is eignt years ingrowing, lives five times eight years, that is to 'ay, forty years ; the horse is five years in glowing, and lives twenty jive years, and so with other animals. The man who does not die of sickness lives any where from eighty to one hundred years. Prov idence has given man a century to live, hut he does urit attain it because be in herits disease, eats unwholesome food, gives license to his pa.-sions, and permits vexa lion to disturb his equipoise ; he does not die, he kills himself The Professor di vide* life into two equal halves, growth and decline, and these halves into infancy, youth, virility and age. Infancy extends to the twentieth year, youth to the fiftieth, because it is 'ime that the tis sues become fir ui; virility, fiom fifty to seventy five, during which the organism remains complete, and at seventy five old age commences. Absent-minded people are funny Sir isaai Newton wuut d his servant to C-.rry out a stove that was getting too hot. A fellow stole his dinner before his eyes, and he afterward thou; lit he had eaten it because he saw the dishes empty A Scotch professor walked into the middle o l ' a horse-pond while pondering on final causes Ben Pianklin punched down the fire with the finder of a young laoy sitting at his side, and severely burned the lily white poker. A gentleman in Troy receiv ed a letter in the dark, used the letter to light a lamp, and looked about for it to read. Pere Grdry, one diy in Paiis; thinking he had left his watch at home, took it out of his pocket to see it he had time tog ■ back after it. Meander, the church hi-nor ao, used to go his lectures in his night cap aud night gown, and some times walked i i the jjufer. But all those cases do not equal that of a man who takes a paper year alter year and always forgets to pay for it. An Arkanasas local soliloquizes thusly : “Some ol our exchanges are pnbli hing as a curious item a statement to the < ffeet that ‘a horse in lowa pulled the (dug out of the bunghole ot a barrel ’ We do not see anything extraordinary in the occur rence. Now, if the horse had pulled the barrel out of a bu.iglnde and slaked his thirst with the (dug, or it the barrel had pulle 1 the bunghole out of the plug and and slaked its thirst with the It use, or it the plug had pulled the horse- out of the barrel and slaked its thirst with the. bung hide, or if the bunghole had pulled the thirst out of the horsu and slaked the (dug with the barrel, or if tho barrel bad pulled the horse out of buugh leand plugged its thirst with a slake, it might be worth while to make some fuss over it.” “I GOT them sausages home/’ said an aggravated purchaser, “without getting.bit, ami 1 cut them apart and left the.m. la the morning I visited them. Ttree of them had cuddled up together and were sleeping sweetly. Two of I hem had crawl ed to my milk pail and were la; ping, the milk, while one, a black aud white one, 1 found on the back fence trying to catch an English sparrow. I drowned the whole lot.

Away in the distance rose the mountains, bare and brown. Close by the railroad track stood H e rough station buildings, and two or three adobe huts where refresh meets were offered to travellers. T 1 e ex press had thundered by an hour before, and m>sr the third class came leisurely up and stopped. Outstepped the passe"gers, intent upon breakfast. One family hud brought their provisions with them, mak ing tea and coffee as they Wunt<d it,cm '.he car. Hut most of the company -were men who did not know much about helping themsefves. One slender fad Harry Min turn, sat in seat at the other end of thecar until all around him had gone out j then taking out his purse, he carefully counted its scanty contents. It had taken Weeks of saving to'get enough to buy the ticket lor the East, and bis margin was small when that was done. ‘•Bread and butter this morning,” he s od. as he joined the crowd outside. A few steps off fie saw a modest fiule shanty, winch seemed to have nobody near it “That’s the place for my money.” thought liar y. Entering, a delightful odor of coffee greeti d him. Just the smell seemed to warm him, and his hand in his pocket felt fhe bits longingly. Alas ! he knew just how fur they would go, and just how many meals they would buy ; and Harry bad learned that it is safe never to spend your last penny, and honorable to scrimp and save, and even appear mean, so that you do not get in debt. The jolly young fellows who sang songs and told stories in the cars would have lent him money, car less whether it was ever paid. But Har.y would as souu have begged »• borrowed. An old woman sat knitting in a chai by the stove She gave the lad a chai* and asked him what he would have. ‘•Two slices of bread and butter, if yon please.” ••Nothing else ?” “That’s all,” >aid Harry. The great, round of conn d beef and cold mutton were uot for him “Loots hungry poor boy!” said the woman to herself- Somewhere near the size of m . Jim ” * She cut two generous slices from her large loaf and put plenty of butter ou theni. Over her glasses, now and then, she watch ed the apoetile tt’th which He ate. “Kath< r dry, now, isn’t it ?” • 0 i no,” said Harry, ‘‘l- never tasked anything better.” “Won’t you take a cup of coffee~with it ? Do.” “Madrm,” said Harry. “I’ve three thou-and mi es to go, and just enough for bread this morning, but nut cuuugh for coffee. I’ll thank you for some wafer.” “Boy,” said t e widow, “1 have a boy off at sea somewhere near your age, and some day, on hi* way t-> me, be may have to go on short rations. Now- you be my Jim this morning, and have your break fast.” I wish y u could have seen the big blow and wnile cup ini ' which she poured the ye.low cream, and stirred the sugar, aiH tilled up woh foaming coffee. I wsh yon could have seen Horry d ink it, aud then, wh n she wouldn't take a hi* from bis stur , just put hts arm around her ueck aud. say ; “Well, mother, ifyat won’t take any thing else, you musi ct me kiss you f' “ Jim.” It rumpled the cap border a little, hut it did die old lady good, and the hands from the road coming a moonlit' after,, found her more happier and cheery that usual. The tielde are there yet. glittering with alkali: the brown adobe hut-; the untaint ed shanty, and the bare rugged cliffs in the distance. Old mother Motley still makes her bread and coffee for the Railway folks, and waits tor Jim to come iu some day. Harry, westward bound again, with busi ness before him and lunds iu his pocket, is intending to stop at that station to take a love token to that good old heart the.": gave him in his need what seemed like nectar, though it was only a cup ot coff»* A Vusty singular c»se, involving tb* fiinposition of a large amount of property, is set lor trial in the court at Modesto which opens on the 9ih of September, er titled Martin vs Martin, action for divorce ami division of properly. The plaintiff claims to be the first wife of def. ndant, while defendant denies the claim, asserting that the first wife is dead, and tba- plain tiff is the wife of another person Plaintiff is accompanied by a man who claims to be her father, and defendant acknowledges her alleged father to be the father of his.- first wife.
