Upon the clitT 'a atrap edge X aland J The moaning aea I hear I But gray mist, hang o'er aea and land, The mlsta that ssllors fear. The llchened rocks, the mosses red, With silver drops are sown ; Each crimson foxglove hangs Us head Amid tho old gray atone. The fearful rock ulthln the lay, Where gallant ahlpa go down, Bhowa but a fatat white line of spray, A gllnimsrlng mass of brown. A broken boat, a spot of black, la tossed on sullen warea, Their create all dark with rifted wrack, The epoll of ocean cavea. Now aalla my love on aea to-day! Heaven ableld hia boat from harm! Heaven keep him from tho dangeroua bay, Till wlnda and wavea be catmt Oh, would he aat beside our stove, Where mother turns her wheel; I know too soon, f cr you, my love, What wlvea of ssllors feel. Oh, that within the wood-fire's glow lie told ua talea of yore, Of perila over long ago, And venturea come to ahore. Ills band belike la on the helm ; The fog hxa hid the foam ; The aurf that ahall his boat o'erwhehn He thlnka the beach at home. He sees a lamp amid the dark, He thlnka our pane alight ; And haply on some storm-bound bsrk Us founders In the night. Now God be with you; Ue who gsve Our constant love and troth; Where'er your oar may dip the wave, You bear the bcarta of both. Through storm and mist God keep my love, That I may hear once more Your boat upon the ahlngled cove, Your step upon the shore. ICbambtre' Journal. Pre-Exl. fence.

' In sacred alslee 1 pause to share The blessings of a priestly prayer When tb. whole scene which greet, mine eyea In some strsoge mode I recogolxo Aa one whose every mystic part I feel prefigured In my heart.

There's no fairy ahell by tbe sounding aea, No wild rose thai node on the windy lea, No blush of the sun through April's soft shower. Pink aa tho palma of this baby of ours.

How more and more confused she grew, It waa my duty aad to note, Until, with aucb despatch ahe ate, A chicken bone atuck in her throat.

A Utile boy was carrying a bottle of singer-pop down Klug direct llio other day, when suddenly llio cork popped out and popped lilm lu llio nortU oyo. When lie had sufUcleully recovered from bis aston ishment be yelled so vigorously that a small crowd soon collected around him lo ascertain tho matter. Two carpenters at work on tho uoxt block around Ihe corner, In tbelr ausloty lo sco what the excitement was about, felltulof tbo second alory vlu-' dow ou to a poanut aland beneath. Then two women fatnlod, ono of whom Immedi ately disappeared In an adjacent coal-collar. Three small boyi shouted "fire!'' und a man wilb a loug ladder on his shoulder, hearing their cries, turned around sudden ly, and after overturning an apple woman amidst the demoralizing ruin of her wares, the end of the ladder demolished n phlo glass window, nnd Anally settled Itsolf on in old gentleman's worst com.

This had tbe effect of dispersing the crowd, most of whom to this hour haven't the re motest Idea what It was all about anyhow, Lociport Union. LOVE DY TELEQRA PIT. Miss Pearl Silvery was telegraph opera tor at Jones's Station, and Lucy Lorlllard operator at Nlnovcli, tho noxt point of communication, with nothing but tbo dls lanco to provent their intimacy. Thoy had novcr met, howovor, except eloctrlcally, ana woro total strangers to each olhor till ono Now Year's morning, when It occur red lo Miss l'carl to send tho following tel egram to her nearest neighbor and fellow laborer: "To Lucy Lorlllard A happy Now Ycart Toarl Sllvcrly" partly bo causo sho was Idle, as hers was n branch route, with vory littlo business and less pay, and partly becauso sbo was in need of a friend and a friendly word. Sho had been lately In tho habit of amusing her self wondering If this Lucy Lorlllard found lifo pleasant, had father, mother, lovers and friends, and was llko herself In nothing butin being a telegraph oporator. Theanswor returned promptly : "Thinks. Tho samo toyou, and more also. If whil es wcro horses, etc." "llalher slangy," thought Fearl, "but good-natured. I guess she has a brother at home." And so tho Ice onco thawed, had no chanco to stiffen again after this. There was llllto business, as I said, going over tho lines from Jones's Station lo Nln oveb, and as the operator at tho last named place seemed to havo unlimited lclsuro on hand, tho two held frequent electrical (etc-a-tetts, and l'carl began to feel as If sho had known Lucy Lorlllard from infancy as If they had gono to school arm In arm, and learned tbelr lessons from tbo samo book. Pearl's homo, If it deserved Iho name, was in her unclo's family, whero thero wcro three cousins and an aunt, but no un do now ; a homo whero sbo hardly folt at borne, where sbo enjoyed no companion ship, wbcro sbo was perpetually harassed and annoyed, whero heroplnlons wcro rid iculed, and her sentiments and tastes re ceived no sympathy j a homo whore thoro was no room far expansion except in tbo way of "long-suffering and bearing nil things." Sho alnays had a dread of re turning to this roof-tree at night, a sort of ecstasy at leaving it lu tho morning, espe cially aUer this now friendship bad begun to coruscalo across her days. To bo Hure, sboato her dally bread and slept tbo sleep of Iho Just at Aunt llidden's, but sbo hoped and aspired and lived at tho telegraph of fice, since friendship Is as much a necessi ty to tbo human being as good dinners and Boft couches. Sho could never exactly tell bow it came about, hut gradually, from ex changing pretty civilities and pleasantries and tho news of Iho day across tbe wires, sbo found herself presently telling this Lucy Lorlllard, upon whom sho had nev er set eyes, almost everything sho know and felt and suffered or enjoyed, and re ceiving experiences and confidences and words of comfort in return from said Lu cy Lorlllard. Nothing was too trivial and nothing too great for Iho two to discuss across the lines between Jones's Station and Nlnovcli, which bad suddenly sprung into remarkablo activity, and which at ono time caused Lucy to remark, telegraphic ally, "Our lines havo fallen in pleasant places;" whilo Pearl answered, "When I am here at tho office, and can rap out a uiossago to you, I forget who X am, and feel no longer homesick for a homo that doesn't exist, and alone lu Iho world. You are in my thoughts, sleeping or waking. If it vtcicu't for you, dear Lucy, I think my heart would break. No ono can tell how grateful I am for your friendship." Lucy : "You silly puss I grateful to me, indeed I I receive a great deal more than I give. I am so happy that you think of mo sometimes. Keep thinking. Tu llvo lu your thoughts Is a kind of Immortality." "Cornel who's allly nowf Anybody would think we wcro lovers." Lt'cy : "So wo are, aren't woT I wonder If wo should know each other If wo wore to meet by accident." "I should know you, of courso sco if I wouldn't. You've got groat dark liquid eyes, such as poets ravo ovor, with dark curling lashes, and a nickering color on your chtei, and thick waves of light bronnbalr; you'ro tall and slender and havo a fatal dimple In your chin. There!'' "You've omitted my principal feature; olherwiso you flatter my poor faco and fig ure." "Oh, an aquiline noso ; and, let mo add, you aro fond of perfumes and Jewels." "I am fond of one Pearl, certainly," "Now It is your turn lo portray." Luc? : "Well, your eyes aro largo and blue, llko forgel-mc-nots." "Aunt Hidden says thoy'ro like burned boles in a blanket. Don't deeetvo your seir." "Your noso is Grecian." "It bas earned mo tho name of Pug at home, however not willing to contradict such a Daniel as yourself." "Your complexion Is like tho Illy." "Pad, by your leave." "Your bair is a skein of yellow floss." "Pardon me; they call It unmitigated red at Jonos's station ; but no doubt they are color-blind." Soinetlmos thoy conversed in this novel manner about tho books they had read, and tho Journeys they would take when their ships tamo in; about the music thoy thirsted to hoar; about Now and Hereaf ter. "It struck me oddly tho other day," tel egraphed Pearl, "that I had never beard your volco. Wonder If I should recognlzo It. Whon I listen to tbe 'Traumerci,' which somebody plays next door, I seem to bear you speaking to me." Lucy : "You shall hear mo some day to so mo purpose." "I hope so. Would any ono bollevo that a companionship between two who havo never seen each other could be so sweet T I sometimes fear that it's too good to last." "Don't you ovor come to Nineveh, shop ping T" "No; I'm too poor. I don't mind toll ing II, becauso I suspoct you of tho samo Infirmity. Don't you evercomo to Jones's Station T" "Often-in spirit." "I used lo be miscrahlo before I knew you. I used lo think there couldn't bo anybody so unhappy, Tbo beggar-woman had ber child, tbo old crones at tbe work house were friendly with each other, the humpbaeked girl in tho alley bad a sister ; and uow I havo a frloud I" " 'Friendship is love without tbo wings,' tbo poet says. Wouldn't you rather say, 'I have a lover V" "Now you're leasing. There's no lovo worth having without friendship for a foun dation. "Amen." . Later. "I'm goldg to confide to you bow foolish I've been, I was invited to a ball a coun try ball. Cousins Liz, Belle, and Fan ac cepted. I inado tbelr gowns such beau ties I pink and bluo and sea-green tarla tans, like sweet clouds. I folt llko Cinder ella, and sat down and had a good onjoya bio cry after they were gone. I had noth ing but my old brown alpaca to wear. I couldn't sleep half the night, thinking of what I had lost such giddy galops, such mazy quadrilles ! though of course I would havo boon a wall-llowerl" "Tho llotver that all aro praising." "No; nobody but you." "No I I fancy you resemble tho woman I heard a clergyman praise In his sermon last Sunday, with whom ho said It was ptcasanler lo meet than a poem of Brown ing's, PjuI's Epistle, or a chapter of Kpict cus 1" "I shan't listen to such ll.illory. Our meeting will bo ono of disillusions." Sometimes llio telegrams were after Ibis fashion : "Pearl: "What aro Iho latest things out in suits at Nlnovcli?" Lucy: "Tho young men." "No trilling. How aroovor-sklrts I" "Very much puffed up." "Perhaps you can tell how llicy dress Iho hair nuwT" "With brusli and comb still." "I mean Is It worn off tho forehead now?" "It Is very muck worn off tbo foreheads of tho young ladies who crimp, and off tho crowns nf the men who live in their hats." "How do you wear your own, pray T" "Curled." "Splendid! Have you such a thing as a lover f" "I havo ono dovotcd lover for a surety." "Splendid 1 I'vo sometimes thought hut no ; you'll tell him." "You won't mind when I assure you that my lover is only myself, Lucy Lorll lard. Now you'vo sometimes thought?" "It would be delightful to bo first In somebody's heart." "No matter whoso?" "What a pluguoyou are I It seems tome It would be so delightful to love somebody better than yourself sa well you could die for him 1" "lie would bo a tine 'llggcr of a man' lo let you dlo for him." "You do know how to put an extinguish er upon sentiment. Later. "Pearl : "I'xo got something dreadful lo tell you." "And bad news travels fast." "I'vo got a lover." "I knew that before. What's dreadful about It?" "Ob, 1 don't want him ; he's old. Ho might be my grandfather." "Saints and ministers of grace defend us I" "And Aunt Hidden say's It's my duly to marry him." "And I say you shan't." "Ho walks with a crutch, but Aunt Hid den says I can rldo lu my carriage. Ho is deaf, but sho reminds mo that I am nut dumb. He wears a snatch, but she assures mv that 'scntti'L' is only masculine for chignon." "Did I understand that you were willing to dlo for him ?" "I'd tooncrdio than marry lilm." "Good. Uut you won't do either." "Hut I must decldo tu queen it at Gable Hail or be turned out of houso and home." "My arms aro open tu you, as well as my doors." "How well that would sound, dear Lu cy, If you wero only a nice young man whom I might love) I bopo you don't think I'm lmprojier." "I think you aro an angel, and tho pink of propriety." "Squire Gable brought down ttio family Jewels In dazzle me. Liz tried them all ou. I couldn't touch une. I fell that tbo dead woman who bad shoiicin them would rise up and cursu me If I should purchase them at such u price, and su cheapen love and all womankind. Squiro Gable bas a grand nephew who will coino into bis property if he marries no one, but ho takes no nolleo of the yuiing man, becauso his mother mar ried against llio squire's wish. This Is all hearsay, however; it may not bo true. Hut in Ihe incaii'llmo tho nephew is qullo poor, thoy say. I pity him." "And pity is akin to love." "Yes love's poor relnliuii," Still later. Pearl: "Advise me, dear Lucy. Aunt Hidden warns me that If I refuse Squiro Gable, she will wash bor hands of me. So I temporize, llko a fool." "And the woman who hesitates Is lost." "I demand a month for reflection. Uut when tho month is ended, what am I lo do? My salary hero as an operator wouldn't buy my salt. I don't know bow to do any thing else; nobody would give mo board as a cook, sewing-girls aro a drug In the market, and to beg I am ashamed." "If you marry blm, I'll forbid the banns. All that I havo is yours." "Uut llio troublo Is, you haven't got any thing to speak of, you dear old goose." "Not much, to be sure ; but enough for us two." "I can't tako oven your bounty. You kuow tbo old story poor and proud." "You would rather tako my heart and mako no return?" "To tell tbe truth, I'm afraid lo meet you. Now you can believe mo everything that is beauliful : then there'll bo no more Illu sion, aud you may not like the result. And I should dio If you tumid against mo." "Then promiso not to marry tho squiro : lake his poor granducphew instead." "If you'll forward tbe youug man. Thoy say bo lives In Ninovob, aud that bo's ono of naturo's uoblomon. Doyou Unowhltn?" "I doubt If you'd agree to Iho description If you knew him as well as I do. Howev er you might prefer him to his granduu clo." "I should prefer tho King of the Canni bal Island?." "Then why reflect so long?" "To gain time." "To wuito it, I should say," "So bo It. I'll re fit so htm to-morrow, and trust to luck." "Never put off till to-morrow what can be douo lo day." Later. "I feel so wicked I I shall not rofuso tbo squire, aud I shall not marry lilm. He was found in his library chair slllf aud cold last night. Aunt Hidden says no doubt he lias left mo something handsome, and If bo hasn't It's a Justlco upon mo. I shall novcr accept an icla. It belongs to his poor nephew, and would only bo legal ized highway robbery," "You havo tho nephew's piospects very much at heart; he ought to foci flattered." Later still. "Liz and Aunt Hidden went to Squire Gablo'a funeral. I had a nervous head ache, and so escaped. Liz camo home rav ing over thesqulro'sgrandnephow, the ou ly mourner she bad eyes for little else. Uut how foolish I am I What do you care about Squiro Qablo's nephew?" "Perhaps I care moro than I'd like to own, alas I" "Ah, sits the wind In that quailer ? They sent for mo to bo present at tho reading of tho will. I did not go." "You nilghthavosccnlhograndncphcw." "I wouldn't havo gono to sco tho Grand Lama. Uut I saw blm at church, and thought it wouldn't bo so difficult to fall lu lovo with hint as with the squire, upon my word now don't laugh though ho Isn't my ieait ideal." "Let thoso lougli who win," Miss Liz was wondering If the squire's nrphow would settle down In tho old place, or go skylarking over Iho world, and If Parson Longinctro would bring lilm to call, or how she should contrive to mako his acquaintance, and whether green or bluo becamo ber complexion best, llko Iho foolish milkmaid In tho story; while Aunt llidden's mouth was watering on account of tho old china and sliver ware at Gablo Hall, "that might as well bavo been in tho family as not," sho grumbled. "And there wasn't n (rack In tho carpets nor a scratch on Iho furtilfutc, and I'vo no doubt there's silks that would stand alone folded away In tho attic, and nobody Ibo belter." And whllo sho bewailed Pearl's folly, Lawyer Verdict dropped lu to say (hat Ihe squiro had left bis money to Pearl, and cut off tho poor nephew with a paltry five bundled dollars I" Pearl hasteued lo telegraph Iho news to Luch Lorlllard. "Now I fear you will not wish (o share my collage, gcutlo maid?" "You don't supposo I'm going to keep the filthy lucro?" answered Pearl. "I certainly do." "1 wouldn't loueh a copper of it for Iho world." "If you don't keep every cent, I'll have nothing moro lo say to you." "You're Joking of course." "I was never moro serious In my life." "I can't bclicvo it of you." "If you give up tbo moncy,you will glvo mo up too." "Then dearest friends must part; you ate not the one I took you for." "I'm your besl friend, however." "I couldn't follow your advice anil satis fy my conscience." "Then you lovo your conscience belter than me." " t could net love yon, dear so well, Loved I not honor more." "Let tnc pcrsuado you to keep It." "You can not; the woman doesn't live who could." "Let mo come and talk lo you ?" "You may come and (alk (ill (he heavens fall." "Shall our Interview tako place at your aunt's?'' "With Liz at the key-bole and Bello at tho closet-slldo? No; hero at tbo office. The messages aro loo Infiequent to signify; only you and I bavo kept tho wires from lusting." "l!ul all Ihat is at an end. To-morrow, then, at tho ofllce. Ain't I a disinterested mortal lo travel lo Jones's Station Just to persuade you to keep a fortune?" "Excuse me If I call It a Tool's errand." "Philanthropists aro always called names, .tu rwofr." Pearl wailed at the offleo next day in a fetcr of expectation. What would this friend bo like, whom she was about lo de ny hcrstlf, this friend whom she had onco longed and now dreaded lo r-co persua sive, and difficult lo icsist, 'with soft dove eyes ? Every slop upo.i Ibo stairs sent a quickened pulsation through ber being; yet sho was already absorbed in her rev eries when the door swung open and ad mitted n dark-browed woman. In an In stant the color flamed and flickered in Pearl' checks, her eyes dilated, her bands trembled; but the dark-browed lady calm ly wrole a message, and tnndo way for tho gentleman who had entered behind her a somewhat shoit and thickly built man, with largo gray eyes and curllug blond hair anil mustache, whom Pearl instantly recognized as Squire Gable's nephew. Again the warm flush stained cheek and forehead. Had ho come to upbraid ber? Had bo conio lo demand his own, to appeal lo her fcno of Justice? What if Lucy Lorlllard should meet him, then? Why not sleal a march upon Lucy, and put It utterly beyond her power to bo persuad ed? not that sho doubted herself. Why not, beforo be could demand it or reproach her? "Excuse me," tbo faltered, "If T tako Ibis llmo lo speak to you about a matter that troubles me. You aro Squiro Gable's nephew. I merely wish to say, as I may not meet you elsewhere, that I do not mean to accept Ihe fortuno left mo in his will. I shall restore it lo the rightful own er as soon as the lawyers can arrango It." "Your motives arocommondablo ; but do notdlsquletyoursclf," returned tbo squire's nephew. "Another and later will has been unearthed, which renders your soinowbat Quixotic desigu unnecessary, as tbo bo quests aro now reversed : I bavo tho for tune, and you tho five hundred dollars. Pardon: but I havo a messago lo write." Which ho scratched hastily oil', and gave to Pearl, who presently diopped In a heap in to tho nearest chair and burst Into Icarj, at tho discovery that Lucy Lorlllard was a man I Tho telegram read, "Lot mo pcrsuado you to accept not only Squire Gable's money, but bis graceless nephew, "Luct Lorillard." "It was perfectly Inexcusable, I allow," Lorlllard averred, later; "but what can a man do wiien a pretty girl wishes him a hippy New Ycart I took pains lo satisfy my eyes many a llmo and oft, and found she was moro than fancy painted her. And as for Ihe rest, I bavo my maternal grand father, ono John Lucy peaco lo his ashes t to thank for tho legacy of his name, which I always despised till I found out tb.it Pearl Sllvcrly loved nobody so well as Lucy Lorlllard." And so, yon see, Pearl was porsuaded af ter all. Harper's Yeekly. Tho coolness of some men In certain try ing emergencies Is boyond praise. He was a cool man, If ho was a poor carver, who, having at a dinner parly deposited by his unskillfulncss the turkey on n lady's lap, courteously Inquired, "Madam, may I trouble you for that turkey?" But even this exhibition ofu lempcr which no mis hap could rufllo Is eclipsed by the coolness of an English curate wo aro indebted to the Christian Ilegtsler for tho Incident In managing his sleepy congregation. Hav ing tried, without success, many plans to keep allvo tbe aUcntiou of drowsy people, he, on one hot summer's afternoon, Just as tbo peoplo had roused themselves at tbo end of tho sormon, quietly said, "Well, my friends, that sermon doesn't seem to bavo interested you ; I am very sorry for It but thero Is a remedy for all things, and I havo another In my pocket which you will perhaps like belter I" To the dis may of his wldo awako flo;k he coolly preached ,a second sermon through from tho text to tbo amen. That curato would lead a forlorn bopo or oversee a ultro glyccrloo factory, ' In Lose as Ills his Eathcr. We havo had nccatlon, of tale, to watch Iho training of a lad who Is In lovo wltb his father. Not that ho admires him, slm ply and respects and obeys blm, but be is In lovo with him. And the boy is not athamod to show n tender love for his fall cr. And belter sltll, the father Is tender heat led enough and "foolish" enough to return tho lad's manifestations of his love. Ho Is a city official, and tolerably well worn wilb tho caros of life, but bo walks tho street hand In baud with his son. Words of affection, and looks of affection, aro ofton exchanged between them. It lakes but, a moment in their company lo detect that they lovo one another. Not a plan, not a hope, not a desire of that lad's life but Is laid beforo that father for his counsel and bis wisdom nnd bis advlco; and the son has no source of pleasure or of amusement, no habits, companionship or vlows,wilh which his fatheris not intimate ly acquainted, and in which ho docs nut enter, sympulhlzo and assist. That tho plctuto Is a raro one, and per haps not one to win tbo response of all par ents, Is why wo refer to It. To us It seems exceedingly advisable that parents and children should grow In love as they In crcaso In years. Tho coddling and fond ling of parents may bo, and ortou In, ex cessive. Tho pelting and spoiling of chit drcn by an over-indulgence of norsonal at tention, Is a prevalent weakness. But whon tbo child opens Into youth and into blushing maidenhood, and glowing man hood then we withdraw tbo special atten tions, and Icavo tbe hungering, thirsting young spirit lu feed upon Itself; drivo It to thrust back and keep down Its rising springs of confiding affection, and leach it to bo suspicious, silent and socluslvo. It is all a mistake. A child grows noblo aud strong who is allowed to be in constant sympathetic contact wilb bis falhor and mother. Tho father and Ihe mother keep their strength and youth by living a sec ond boyhood and girlhood with their chll dren. Nothing burls a boy moro than to bo pushed out of a lender and loving home clrclo at an early age. He must lovesome wbero; and the chances aro that if bo be not loved, and allowed to love, at home, be will not love loo wisely away from It. It is a natural thing for youth and age to love one another. Let us not oppose nature, Encourago rather than repress Ihe mani festation of lovo in your homes. Win and detcrve tbe contldenceof your children Do not have a child of yours go outside of your home sanctuary to speak to strangers about bis dearest and most precious inter ests, becauso bo fears tbat Indifference, f not rejeclion, will meet bis dcslro lo un bosom himself In the parental ear, and nes tle himself In tho paternal heart. No possible influence from outside, not the Sunday-school oven, not the church, can take tho place of a boy's own father, or o! a girl's own mother, at the ago wbcu the boy and girl are approaching manhood and womanhood. Too often they are descried of their parents at jusl this age. There aro few sights more beautiful than lo seo par ents standing by their children, in tbelr growing years, In warm lender affection, accompanied and exhibited by outward manifestations of tbo same. Sunday School Timet. Resuscitation of Persons Apparent ly Drowned. It Is. not Improbable tbat many drowned persons might bo resusci tated, who aro left tu perish for want of in telligent and timely treatment. Tbo rules proer In such case;, which have been tested by long experience, have been so of ten published that they ought to be gener ally known. By way of giving a practical illustration of Iheni, we copy, substantial ly, a caso mentloued by the writer of tbat interesting littlo work recently published under Iho tlllo of "Tho French at Home." In his walk one morning ho says be saw a man pulled out of tbo water, apparently drowned. He was laid on the right side, the face turned toward tbe grouud, and the Jaws gently opened to facilitate tho cscapo of water. Several times Iho bead was placed a Utile lower than -the rest of tho body for tho samo purpose, but only for a few seconds at a lime. In the meanwhile thero was a regular manipulating process to induce breathing, which consisted in pressing tbo abdomen, stomach and sides of tho chest, but softly. Tho efforts wero without effect; tbe man looked as if he had seen tho last of earth. Then tho pros trate liguro was carried to tho nearest sta tion for rescue of the drowned. Hero the man was stripped aud wiped dry, and bo was laid, turned on tbo side, between two blankets on a straw mattress. Tho manip ulating process was resumed, with inter vals of about a quarter of a minute be tween each pressure of tbe body, the pres sure being repealed fifteen or Iwnnty times, followed by a suspension of teu minutes. Twenty minutes were passed in this way, when a physician employed on Ibis kind of service appeared and look chargo of the case. A warming pan tilled with hot wa ter was passed over the body outside of the blauket, particularly ovor the pit of tbe stomach and tho sides or the chost. This was alternated wfth a gentle friction of hot woolen mlllens and tho naked hands, and the soles of the feet and tho palms of tbe bands wero vigorously rubbed. An oper ator breathed into tho mouth of tho man by means of n tube. These efforts also proving lu vain tho physician had rocourso lo tbo Introduction of tobacco smoke iuto the lutcsllnes. In about ten minutes tbe man gave a feoblo sign of life, whereupon all manipulation was discontinued lost It should interfere with tho natural move ment. Soon ho showed a dosire to vomit, which was assisted by a feather Introduced lu.o Ihe throat. How long Iho whole proc ess lasted Is not staled, but the reader will soe that It was longtby, A few days after the writer attended a ball, and among the most lively dancers bo saw tbe drowned man. Lincoln's Baker Story. Colonel Bak er, who was killed at Ball's Bluff during tbo Into lebelllon, was well known In Sprlngtlold, Illinois, and It was of him Mr. Lincoln used to tell tbe following story : Culonel Baker was very courteous lo la dles, always treating thorn with great po liloness aud attention. He was starting on a Journey at ono lime, whon a lady was placod lu bis care by an acquaintance. Now tbo colonel kuew nothing whatever of this lady, but sho proved to bo a pleas ant (raveling companion, and be made her as comfortablo as possible lu tbo old slngo coacb. On the next morulng they slopped lor breakfast in Galena, and whllo tbat meal was being prepared tbey wero shown into tho parlor on the sccoud floor. Hero tho lady seated horself by an open window looking out on tbo street, while the colonol paced tbe floor with his bauds folded be hind him, as was bis custom, for bo always seemed as restless as a caged bear when confined lu a room, Other passongors woro in the parlor, and Ihey wero speaking of somo late defaulter, somo blaming blm, others saying he had dono what ho could tosavo his creditors. At last ono of Ibo gentlemen npjwaled lo Colonel Baker, ask ing what he thought of tbo doraullor. "Think of blm 1" exclaimed Iho colonel. "Why, that bo should be hung without mercy. He Is a scoundrel," At this tho lhdy lea her scat, and stand ing In front of tbo colonel with flashing oyos, said, "Colonel Bakor, perhaps It may Interest you lo know that tho gentleman yon so readily condemn Is my uncle I" The colonel ceased his walk, and giving ouo appealing look to his fair filend, he bo gnn lo draw off bis coal, and approaching Ibo open window, said "I bavo nothing more to say, tr.adnm; but glvo Iho woid, and I will throw myself from Ibis win dow." Tbo sacriflco was not demanded, aud tbey continued their Journey In peace. Harper's Magazineor August. Tho California Climate. San Franciscaus mako a hobby of their climale. Tbey roll It as a sweet rnortol under their tongue. It is their piece de resistance in Iho calaloguo of blessings. "Tho derncd placo seems shaky on her pins," said a citizen just after the groat earthquake of 18G3; "but there's ono con solation, anyhow wo'vo got tho best cli male in tbe world." It Is a climate of strong contrasts'. It Is eccentric ; it is tan talizing; it Is seductive. Wo aro piqued at its capaciousness, yet it unfits us for living anywhero else. Summer hardens into winter; winter Is glorified into sum mer, ltoses and sunny skies in January ; vcrdurcless waste, cold winds, and chill ing fogs In July. "Did you ever seo such a summer as this?" said one Irishman to another. "No, bejabers, not Blnco the mlddio of last winter." We cry for thick blankets whllo you are sweltering in the dog-day beats ; wo throw opou our doors and windows whllo you are cowering benoath tho sharp stings of winter. Not that all days in summer aro cold, and all days In winter warm ; but tbe general rule Is, that Juno, July, and Au gust are detestable, and the nut of tho year unequaled for loveliness of weather. Thero aro not only days but weeks, when the skies are indescribably glorious. Tho Nile Valley is not so sweetly balmy, South ern Italy not so rich in mellow splendor. The golden sunhine permeates every pore, quickens every puUo of life. The air has au indefinable soilness and sweetness a tonic quality tbat braces tho nerves to a Joyous tension, making the vory sense of existence a delight. Tbe contrast of tem perature between summer and winter is less apparent than real. Tho remarkable equability of (be climato will appear from tbe following: In Juno, 1874, tbe highest thermometer was 07", the lowest, 68"; In January of the samo year, Ibo highest was 63, tbo lowest, H. In December, tbo range was between C0 and C2 ; lu August it was between 08 aud 00. Samuel Wil liams Scribncr for July. The Significance of True Trayer lies In tbo fact tbat we recognlzo by our adoration one whom it is Impossible for a rational being not to regard wltb awo and pleasure. Prayer proves tbat tbe suppli cant can appreciate what Is exalted and no ble, mid shows bis kinship with them. We lite In a divine atmosphere, but onr dull souls are too insensible to tbe fra grance tbat exhales like a perfume and a balm from tho Ii.finllo source of sweetness and health and life. But prayer has more than Ibis symbolic worth. It lifts tbo soul into living susceptibility lo tbe dlviuo In fluence, which tones down its passion, en larges and purifies its vision, quickens Its best sentiments, and inspires lis every vir tue. And Its effect on tbe person who prays constitutes Us real use. It affects the soul, and not its surroundings, and by changes wrought in it often alters Its lot. As we brealho out petitions to (be invisible One, wo brealho in his Sj.lrlt, which purifies and strengthens us for duty, and makes us more hopeful and efficient workers In the world. Prayer in expectation of an exter nal answer Is but wasted breath. We pray in vain for miraculous Interposition In our behalf. Tho way In which prayer helps us is as comprehensive as anything of such a nature can be. Heaven qualities lis re sponses to our condition. Prayer neither alters nor contravenes nature. Striking coincidences are explicable on natural grounds. All occurrences are links In a chain of invariability which the wildest heart-cry cannot break. Effects follow causes with a rigid though sometimes in tricate regularity. Rain will not fall tbe sooner or more plenleously, nor will seed yield beyond Ibe capacity of soil and cli mato becauso we ask it In urgent (one on bended knee. Our physical energies wero given In gain tho physical objects that we crave. But If by prayor we are mado dif ferent, the world will wear a new faco lo our oycn and yield ampler 'satisfaction to our hearts. Our National Sonos. Tbe Indianapo lis Journal deems It a singular fact tbat few Americans know the words of our na tional songs. It particularizes thus: "It is safe to say tbat a scoro of parties in this vicinity tried yesterday (tbo 6th) lo sing The Star Spangled Banner,' and failed be causo no ouo know tbe words. All knew tbo tune, but nobody tho text. Tbey could talk about II, glvo ibe key, start 11, and keep it up for a Hue or two, but nobody knew tho words or could lead off In the beautiful and patriotic song. It Is peculiar to tbe American people, and not specially creditable. Every Frenchman can sing Ihe Marseillaise. Every German knows bis national song, and so of other people. Only (ho Americans aro deficient In tbla respect, who, of all others, ought to be posted. It ought to be made a regular du ty In every common school of tho lane) to memorize and sing 'The Star Spangled Banner.' It Is good poetry, good music, and good politics. It cannot be learned too soon nor repealed lo often. The words are simple, tbe melody boantlful, and tbo his tory easily explained. It Is the most char acteristic of our national songs, and every body ought to bavo It at his tongue's end. It It right lo say: A covoyof par tridges; anlde of phcaiants; a wisp of snipe; a bovy of quails; a flight of doves or swallows; a muster of peacocks j a siege of herons; a building of rooks; a brood of grouse; a plump of wild fowl; a stand of plovers) a watch of nightingales; a clatter ing ofchoughs) a flock of geese) a cast of hawks ) a trip of dottrell ; a herd of swine ; a skulk of foxes) a pack of wolves) a drove of oxen; a sounder of hogs) a troop of monkeys) a pride of lions; a sleuth of bears; a swarm of boesj a shoal of her rings, ,
