his pul nit
Too feeble to travel, ho would continue
visiting the sick. Wo saw him in his
buggy going along our streets on these
errauds of mercy, pale, omaoiated, with
tho very dews of death upon his forehead.
Only the day before ho died, ho went
about a milo to auothor part of the city
to visit a dying lady. Reclining beside
her, he sang a hymn, quoted many passa
ges of Scripture full of comfort for the
dying, adding his own words of hope,
fell upon his knees and poured forth nis
heart in prayer for her to tho believer’s
covenant-keeping God, ami after repeat
ing the words of David, “Yea, though 1
walk through tho valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil; for thou art
with me; thy rod and thy staff thoy com
fort mo,” he tottered from tho room as
she ontcrod tho portals of bliss. As he
got from tho buggy and walked into his
own house, he fainted away. Recovering
from this, ho seemed cheerful, happy, un
complaining. About 4 o’clock the next
evening, ho was soized with convulsions,
which increased iu soverity until about
eight o’clock, whon tho blessed Saviour
summoned the wearied and worn soul up
to heaven, to be pillowed upou his owu
bosom in eternal rest.
Yesterday afternoon, on nocouut of the
extremely warm weather, wo wore com
pelled to consign his remains to tho tomb.
Though tho notico was short, the funeral
was more largely attended than any I
ever witnessed iu this city. Just before
taking the body from tho dwolling-honse
to tho church, a most pleasing incident
occurred. It had been arraugod for the
elders and deacons of his church to act as
pall-bearers. Tho pastors of the different
city churches requested to be allowed to
act iu this capacity, which was clieorfully
granted. “And devout men carried
Stephen to his Initial, and mado great la
mentation over him.” Tho services at
tho church wero very impressive. The
choir, accompanied by tho deep-toned
organ, chanted a funeral dirge. The
venerable Dr. J. S. Wilson of tho First
church, read tlio Scriptures, and Rev.
Mr. Crumley of the Methodist church,
led the solemn assembly in prayer. Rev.
Mr. Ketchum, of our own denomination,
theu delivered a most beautiful aud ap
propriate discourse from Paul’s inspired
words: “For me to live is Christ, and to
die is gain.” These services were conclu
ded by a touching address by Dr.
Brnntly, of the Second Baptist church.
Tho intimacy between him and tho. la
mented dead, enabled him to speak so
truthfully of tho inner workings of that
heart when alive, that few eyes in that
vast assemblage but wore moistened with
tears of grief. At tho grave, Rev. Mr.
Thomas, of the Episcopal church, con
ducted tho services, repeating appropriate
passages of Scripture, and closing with a
most earnest prayer. And theu we' laid
him away—him onr beloved one—our
undershepherd—in tho silont grave, to
sleep till tho grand resurrection morn;
anu wo turned towards our homes, full of
sorrow, but thank God, not os those
without hope.
I have given you but a brief account of
the death and burial of that great and
good man, Rev. Rufus K. Portor. Vol
umes could bo written about him. Of
hie highly cultivated intellect and his
powers iu tho pulpit, I have not time to
spoak. God blessod his labors os our
pastor most remarkably. Only one com
munion season passed sinoo he came to
us, ns he himself nunonncod, without ad-
ditiou to tho church. Of his preparation
to meet tho last enemy, I need say noth
ing. Ilis faith was strong and unwaver
ing. Only a fow days ago ho remarked
to his wife, “I know not what will be tho
issue of my sickness; but, thank God, I
have no doubts, no fears. I am ready to
live or to die. ” Not only did ho possess
the warmest love of evory member of his
church and congregation, but he had also
won the confidence and esteem of this
entire community. As Dr. Brantly said,
“Who ever grasped that hand, without
feeling the heart in it?” Bat I forbear.
May God comfort his woeping family and
friends, and sanctify this tcrriblo afflic
tion to every member of his lato charge.

The Origin of Uillhinls.
The literature of billiards is scanty; its
origin dirmnod by obscurity. Shakspeare
identified it with the amusoments of Cle
opatra’s Court at Alexandria; and, al
though more than one writer has pro
nounced tho immortal bard guilty of nil
anachronism, it seems quite possible that
lie had some slight authority for putting
tho words “Let’s to billiards” into the
mouth of the Egyptian Queen. Writing
in 1743, aud reforring to the derivation of
tho titles of sports from tho instruments
used, Mr. Maurice Johnson, Jr., a mem
ber of tho celebrated Spaulding Society,
says, on recollecting all lie can of tho ball
plays of the Greeks anil Romans, and on
consulting Ballinger, (de ludis ret.) God
win, Rouse, and Ken nett, lie finds noth
ing about a cricket, which ho conceives is
the Soxon gaum of Uiioce, the crooked
club being the bat wherewith tho hall is
struck. Billiards ho takes to lie a Nor
man pastime, from the hUlart, a stick so
called, and used similarly. Strutt gives
representation of a vorv curious ancient
8[H)it, which appears, lie says, to bear
some analogy to bowling, the bowls, in
stead of l*»ng oast by tho band, are
driven with a batten or mace, through
an arnh towards a mark at some distance
from it. lienee, he makes no doubt,
originated the game of billiards, which
was formerly played with a similar kind
of arch and a mark railed tho king, but
placed upon s board instead of on tho
grouud, The authorities cited induced
the supposition that, st an oorly period, a
rudo game, answering to some extent tho
description of that commonly supposed to
have been introduced into Franco in the
reign of Cbsrlos IX, was played. But
how remote its origin, or when tho addi
tion of a table to the impediment* gave it
st once increased dignity by aeeommodat-
» f If ^ ,0 *« a room, and obvia
ted the necessity for cxcessivo stooping,
seems uncertain.
PrJohnson incline* to the belief that
the French derivod from England both
to play end the narao, which lie states is
a ^ corruption from ^iynri/i—yards of
sticks to drive tho ball slonir the table
It is not unlikely that he is partially cor
root in his assertion, for wo find tho garao
flourishing in Elizabethan England, and
immortalised by poet* contemporary with
Do Vigne, tkv artist who flret designed
tho table for bis Majesty of Franco.
An inebraiatod man walking along the
streets at night, regarded the moon with
sovereign contempt: “You needn’t be so
prood, obi feller,” lie said, “yoa'ru fall
only once a month, and I am every
only o
uight.”

BALLAD.—TO •
BY PAUL II. UAYNC.
If I leave you alone. Beloved —
Alone to this desolate lift;
If tho arms of tho dark Death-Angel
Should bear mo away from its strife;
I charge you, I charge you, Beloved,
By the rosy hopes of our youth,
By tho stronger passion of after yoars,
By a wholo life’s fervor and truth,
Despair, no, despair not ever,
But think ou a wearier breast
Thao hor's who lies under the oypress,
Did nover a grave-clod-rest!
And think, wherosoover sho wanders,
Upborne from the False to tho True,
8he is waiting, wailing, waiting -
Ay, tenderly waiting for you:
Yet waiting in putieuce and gladness,
As knowledge that under tho sun
There's a beautiful mission to keep you.
There’s a holy bisk to be done
The training of him, our darling,
Iu tho pathways of duty and right,
Till tho shiniug lcet of his spirit
Ate turned toward the City of Light.
Then, theu, you must join me, Beloved
For your sacred task will bo done —
Whore I’ve waited so long to clasp you,
Beyond the gatos of the sun!
Progress of Medical Science.
Right Hon. Htnry Labonoherc, Lord
In his vacant most admirable address
to tho graduates of tho Jefferson Medical
College of Philadelphia, Professor Sam
uel Henry Dicksou thus strikingly re
counts tho progress of curativo science:
“When I commenced tho studios which
mutually engage us, Laennec had just
lcauod his ear against a quire of paper
rolled together and pressed upon the hol
low thorax of a patient, and tho stetho
scope has now grown into an instrument
whioh discourses eloquent musio to those
who havo learned its scalo. Since, and
indeed recently, wo havo ophthalmos
copes, aud otoscopes, and endoscopes,
with*whieli wo watch tho obscure changes
which indicate disease. Most curious of
all is the sphygmograph of Marey, deli
cately telegraphing to us tho movements
of the heart itself; its eager throbbings,
its keen and sharp convulsive contrac
tions, and its slow and feeble undula
tions, thus making clear tho formerly
doubtful indications of its pathological
states.
‘The microscope, long known, it is
true, but only of lato rendered satisfactory
in its application to our needs, now yields
us results not only wonderful but truly
instructive, and assisted by the photo
graph provides us with pictures of minute
structure most interesting for us to ob
serve aud know. Aro you ready to ox-
clftim that this is all tnte and familiar to
you? Enjoy it, then employ it diligontly,
and thank those who have prepared for
you such abounding and facile sources of
scientific acquisition.
“Nature concentrates her powers of
ovil and disperses them, still retaining
their strength. Tho acrid acid juice of
the guot aud tho ant; the deadly bite of
the totso fly; the sting of the wasp and
bee, and tlio vcuom of tho cobra and the
crotalus, are all comprised in small com
pass. All her contagious viruses have
_>iit defiance to onr powers of detection;
and tho aerial poisons that spread abroad
tho pestilence ‘which walketh in darkness
and destroyeth at noonday,’ aro invisible
and intangible. Savages havo acquired
tho skill to boil down or evaporate vege
table extracts for truculent purposes, and
oven the Bushman is master of tho life of
his enemy or his gamo with tho poisoned
arrow.
‘Alchemists and chomists of the Middle
Ages labored with tho sarno fiendish
views, and we road mythical stories of
their incredible sncccss in the preparation
of tho aqua Tofana, and similar strange
drugs. Shakspeare tells us of tho ‘cursed
poison’ being ponred into tho oar of the
royal Dauo by his incestuous brother.
But these delicate arts arc in abeynnee, if
not lost; and my toxicological friend aud
colleague tells mo that, after careful re
search, ho can find on reoord but a single
instance of murder through this tender
organ. Enough in this way was done,
when prussic acid was discovered—for too
much for tho interests of humanity when
strychnino and nicotine were added to
tho list.
“Here, again, wo meet analogous com
pensation, which will bo difficult for yon
to appreciate adequately. In 1817, when
I was sitting on tho lmrd benches in
Ninth street, listening to tho eloquent
] selections of a Wistar, a Physick, and a
Chapman, morphine was separated from
tho crmlo juico of tho poppy, itself the
kindest boon ever deigned by heaven to
wretched humanity. I had, however,
been encumbered with chinchona in pow
der and infusion, and decoction and tinc
ture, and extract, for four yoars of prac
tice in a malarial country, before chem
istry, ou whioh all arts and scioncos de
pend for their development and progress,
presented us with the invaluablo alkaloid
quinia, without which—-as Sydenham
most truly aud pithily said of opium—
modern medicine would be lame and crip
pled. You muy imagine, for I cannot do-
scribo, tho difficulty with which our pa
tients were induced to swallow the huge
ligneous masses, tho nauseous draughts,
the boluses, still more difficult to retain,
but iudispeusablo to a cure; and then you
will bo reudy to believe the stories of tho
old books—nay, of books not very old,
for you will find several of thorn in
Good’s works—concerning fevers of ten,
twenty, and even forty years duration.
Without tlu) analysis which resulted in
tho procurement of this, and tho similar
alkaloids now in constant use, wo should
uot havo hcou prepared to avail ourselves
of the latest therapeutical iinprovenHfcit—
the method of hypodermio medication.
“You havo doubtless heard mo affirm,
what I believe to bn true, that sinco Jen-
nor’s discovery of vaccine, nothing has
boon done more important in the interests
of afilictod hnmanity. It affords a glori
ous triumph over tho greatest of physical
evils—pain. It gives us, too, an equal
triumph over the sneering skeptic, who
has l>ccn so long aconstomod to express
his dissent os to the efficacy of otir reme
dies—the relation of cause aud effect—the
argument post hoe propter hoc—cm account
of tho lapse of tirno between tho adminis
tration anil tho result. Now we have
those connooted tut closely as the flash of
the pAwdur and the stroke of tho bullet,
not much less clearly than tho roar of tho
thunder and tho destructive sweep of tlio
lightning which just precedes it.
“With his watch in hand-—tho nouml-
gic writhing in torture- tho convulsion-
aim drawn together with spasm, feels tho
insertion of tho delicate noodle point,
and oount* the slow seconds os they pass.
Within a minute, or two minutes, or

A cable dispatch from London aunoun
cos the death of Right Hon. Henry Lo-
boucliere, Lord Taunton, in the 71st year
of his age. Lord Taunton was born
Loudon in tho year 1798. Ho was a de
scendant of an old Huguenot family, who
loft Franoe at tho revocation of the edict
of Nantes, and settled first’in Holland, and
subsequently in England. His mother
was a daughter of the great commercial
house of Baring. He received his oduca
tion at Christ Church, Oxford, and took
honors thoro iu 1820. From 1820 ho sat
in Parlirment for tho borough of 8t. Mi
chads till 1830, whon ho was returned for
Taunton. He was made a Lord of the
Admiralty in 1K32; Vico President of the
Board of Trade and Master of the Mint,
and a Privy Councilor, in 1835. In iKii
he became UnAer Secretary for the 6oft>-
nies, aud in the latter end of the same
year President of the Board of Trade.
He resigned office with the Whig Cabinet
in Hoptember, 1841; but in July, 1840,
with the return of his party, ho becamo
Cbiof Secretary for Ireland, and in July,
1847, onco more President of the Board
of Trade, going out qf office on the rcsig
nation of Loro John Russell’s Ministry
in February, 1852. Iu tho latter part of
1855 lie accepted the seals of tho Colonial
office, in succession to Sir William Moles-
worth. In 1859 ho was raised to tho
Peerage. About tho time wheu ho enter
ed public life Mr. Labouchere visited this
country in company with tho Earl of
Derby and Mr. Denison, Speaker of the
House of Commons, in 1847, to study the
workings of tho republican system. Iu
1840 ho married his cousin, a daughter of
Hit Thomas Baring. She dying in 1850,
ho espoused a daughter of tlio lato Earl of
Carlisle, thus allying himself with most of
tho great Whig families.
Musical.
Joseph Ascher, tho well-known pianist
and composer, is dead. Ho was thirty-
nine yoars of age. Patti, according to t
transatlantic rumor, was offered by Mr.
Fisk an engagement in this country, but
demanded $2,000 a night for one hundred
nights, half to bo paid in advance before
sho left Europe. 8he also claimed tho
right of selecting tho entire company.
Maillard, the composer of “Lo Dragou do
Villars,” is dangerously ilL Flotow is to
write a new opera for the Theater Ly
rique, Paris, this fall. M. Bouuetti is
dead. Ho was tho predecessor of Arditi
as conductor at her Majesty’s Theater,
London. A child pianist, named Emily
Tate, aged thirteen years, has given a
concert in London, playing music by
Thalborg and Beethoven in such a stylo
os to give good promise for her maturer
years. Beethoven’s hundredth birthday
is to bo celebrated at Bonn next year witu
great pomp. Tho hall of tho Univorsity
is to be altered for tho occasion that it
will accommodate throe thousand pei
sons. The fund for the erection at EiL
clinch, his native town, of a monument to
John Sebastian Bach, has reached 1,427
thalers. Six thousand thalers is tho re
quired sum. Tho King of Prussia con
tributes three hundred. Tho Bishop of
London disapproves of ritualistic music
anil services, and says they remind him
of “those public places where tho music
of Handel's oratorios and Rossini’s Stabat
Mater mingles with tho tinkle of glosses.
Whitewash.
Whitewash, says the Journal _
Chemistry, is one of tho most valu
able articles in tho world whon prop
erly applied. It not only prevents the
decay of wood but conduces greatly to
the liealthfulnc8s of all bnildings of wood
or stone. Out-buildings anil fences whon
not painted, should bo supplied onco or
twice a year with a good coat of white
wash, which should bo prepared in the
following way: Take a clean water-tight
barrel or other suitable cask and put into
it a half bushel of l>nio. Slack it, Ir
pouring water over it boiling hot, and ii
sufficient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slacked. When tho slocking 1ms been
thoroughly effected, dissolve it in water,
and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc
and one of common salt; these will cause
tho wash to harden and prevent its crack
ing, which gives an unseemly appearance
to tho work. If desirable, a beautiful
cream color may be communicated to the
above wash by adding three pounds of
yellow ochre; or a good pearl or load
color by tho addition of lamp, vine or
ivory black. For fawn color, add four
pounds of umber, Turkish or American—
tho latter is tho cheapest—one pound of
Indian rod, ono pound of common lamp
black. For common stono color, add
four pounds of raw timber and two
pounds of lamp-black. This wash may
be applied with a common wliitowash
brush, and will bo found much superior,
both in appoarauce and durability to tho
common whitewash,
A Relic or Andrew Jackson—Old lllckorj’s
Brandy Bottlo.
There is in possession of Col. Robert 8.
Swords, of this city, a relic of tho old De
mocratic war horso Andrew Jackson
which is well worth description. It is an
old fashionod square cut gloss decanter.
On ono side it boars tlio inscription: “1829.
Andrew Jackson to Col. John A. Stewart,
U. S. A.” On tho opposite sido appears
“C. M. Standard to Col. R. S. Swords. ” It
was presented by tho President to his inti
mate friend CoL Standard, who wee also
the intimate friond of Genera! Scott, and
was present with tho latter at tho historic
Lunday’s Lano fight, and wounded there.
Tho gallant Colonel died at tho White
House iu Washington during General
Jackson’s presidency. Colonel Swords
married a daughter of Colonel Standard,
and his bottle was presented to him by
his mothor-in-law Mrs. C. M. Standard.
Tho letters of tho inscription are iu hand
some German text. It bears the name of
Old Hickory’s brandy bottle. CoL
Sword’s, however, keeps it always filled
with pure old rye. He dolights in pro
ducing it whenever a Democrat of the
Jackson school coiuos along.— Newark

Account* with the Farm.
There is uo farmer who has tried the
practice of keeping accurate accounts
with his farm who has not been benefit-
ted thereby. By carefully entering in
the account book every item of income
und expenditure tho former not only ena
bles himself to see at all times his finan
cial condition, but the practice fosters an
economy and regularity which must nec
essarily bo attended with tho happiest re
sults. In view of the obvious advantages
of tho practice we earnestly urge every
farmer to provide himself with a well
bound book and commence to carefully
and accurately enter every item of receipt
and expenditure connocted with his farm
operations, striking a balance at tho end
of each year. In connection with liis
farm accounts should bo kept a journal of
the farm, in which should be noted every
event of tho form, such os tho commence
went of ploughing, the time of planting,
cultivating and harvesting the several
crop, tho timo of planting trees, with
tfieir varieties, Ac., a journal of the stock
not being neglected. Give tho practice a
fair trial and you will never abaudou it.
A (Jneer Hymn Book.
A good joke is told of a preacher in
Nebraska who had dined with a friend
just before afternoon services. As it liapl
>eucd this friend occasionally luxuriated
n a smile of tho ardent, and sometimes
carried a morocco-covered flask in his
overcoat pocket
By mistake tho minister took the
friend’s overcoat for his own on his de
parture, and, walking into the pulpit, be-
gnn tho exercise without dotting the gar
ment, it being rather chilly iu tho room.
Looking very ministerially over his
congregation from behind his spectacles,
he began drawing from his pocket, as he
supposed, his hymn book, with tho intro
ductory remark that tho congregation
would sing from a particular page which
he had selected before-hand.
The minister held tho supposed book
up in full sight of the congregation, and
attempted to open it sideways, but it was
no go.
Tho situation was realized in a moment.,
but, alas! too lato.
His reverenco was dumbfounded, tho
audience giggled, and tho wholo scene
was made ludicrous by a fellow in tho
back part of tho congregation, not alto
gether too sober, who drawled out:
“Say, mister, kin wo all (hie) jino in
that ar hymn!”
Work and Win.
Whatever you try to do in life, try with
all your heart to do well; whatever you
devote yourself to, devote voursolf to
completely; in groat aims and small, be
thoroughly in earnest. Nover believe it
possible that any natural or improved
ability can claim immunity from the com
panionship of tho stead}', plain, hard
working qualities, and hope to gain its
end. There is no such thing ns such ful
fillment on this earth,
talent and some
may form tho two sides of the* ladder on
winch some men mount, but tho rounds
of that ladder must be mado of stuff to
stand wear and tear: and thoro is no sub
stitute for thorough-going, ardent, and
sinqere earnestness. Never put one hand
to anything on which you can throw yonr
whole self; nover affect depreciation of
your work, whatever it is. Theso you
will find to be golden rules.

On the 14th of September next a cen
tury will have passed sinoo the birth of
one of Germany’s greatest men—Alexan
der von Humboldt. The Berlin Geogra
phical Society has resolved to commemo
rate the day, and in the Municipal Conn-
oil Professor Virchow has proposed that
commission bo appointed to orga
centenary festival. “This great man
says tho Professor, “passed the greater
part of his illustrious life in his native
city; he there wrote tho most popular and
the most important of bis works, and be
came the acknowledged center of scien
tific life; proving himself on all occasions
the kind and enlightened patron of the
learned and intelligent. In tho days of
national despondency and difficulty he
did not disdain to take part, like a good
citizen, in the assemblies of tho burghers.
It is therefore the duty of tho community
to honor becomingly the memory of the
great man who was one of its most distin
guished members.” Alexander von Hum
boldt, after many years spent in investi
gating the secrets of nature in the old
world and tho now, returned to spend tho
evening of life in his native laud, and was
at his own request in his garden at Tegel,
beside buried by his friend and brother
William, who had preceded him to the
tomb.
A Good Word for the Catbird.
Thomas M. Brewer writes in the April
uumber of tho Atlantic Monthly:
“Ono rainy day, the past summer, as
wo sat by a window looking out upon tho
flower-bed, our attention was attracted to
catbird, apparently buried head and
shoulders in the soil, and trying to cxtri-l
cate himself. Our first impulse was to
run to his rescue, supposing him to be in
danger from some hidden enemy; but wc
soon discovered our mistake when we saw
him gradually emerge, dragging out with]
him, not without some difficulty, a very
large grub of the May-beetle, which he
had detected iu Cho very act of eating the
roots of our favorite geranium. Tho of
fender was forthwith pounded to a jolly,
and in this condition borno off to the
bird's nest hard by, where it no doubt
gladdened tho heart of ono of his nc-st
lings.
“Our good opinion of the catbird is
confirmed by the recent experience of
President Hill, of Cambridge. A favor
ite elm, near his house, was attacked last
summer by a large swarm of the vanessa
caterpillar. They rapidly devoured its
foliage, and threatened soon to despoil the
tree of its beauty. One day, when he
was about to bring ladders and attempt
their removal, and was considering
whether this was practicable, ho obsorved
a catbird fly to the tree and begin to de
stroy tho caterpillars. Seeing this unex
pected relief, he deferred any interference
and awaited tho result. Nor was ho dis
appointed. In a few days the catbird en
tirely cleared the tree. The writer was
an eyewitness to a similar result, but in
this case the tree attacked by the vanessa
worm was a poplar, and the birds which
cleared them out wero Baltimore orioles. "
COYOTE
Blown out of tho prairie iu Twilight and dew
Half bold nud half timid—yet lazy all through,
Loth ever to leave, and yet tearful to stay,
He limps in tho clearing—an outcast iu gray
A shade on the stubble, a ghost by tho wall,
Now leaping—now limping—now risking a fall
Lop-eared and large-jointed, but ever alway
A thoroughly vagabond outcast in gray.
Hore, Carlo, old fellow—he’s one of yonr kiud-
Go seek him and bring him iu out of tho wind.
What! suarliug—my Carlo so—oven clogs may
Deny their own kiu iu tho outcast in gray.
Well, take what you will—though it bo on tho

Marauding, or begging—I shall not ask why
But will call it a dole, just to help ou his way
A four-footed friar in orders of gray!

earth. Some happy
fortunate opportunity,
Miss Hate in an.
Miss Bateman’s success iu Tom Taylor’s
new play, “Mary Warner,” at tho London
llaymarkct Theatre, is immense. Tho
character she impersonates is that of a do-
voted wife, who, to shield her husband
from disgrace, falsely confesses to have
committed a crime of which sho bolieves
him to bo guilty, though in reality ho is
no more so tlflui horsolf, the offense hav
ing been committed bv a third party,
who, in defiance of all the laws of poetic
retribution, enjoys complete immunity
to the last. That Miss Bateman’s elo
quent action comes homo to tho hearts of
her atidienee is proved not only bv their
tears, which fall plentcously, but ny tho
silent and sympathetic attention with
which they watch hor evory gosturo and
listen to her every word until somo wel
come pause iu tho notion permits them to
give enthusiastic expression to their ad
miration, aud then tho liouso rings with
pplauso.

Jenny Llml and the Bird.
I remember hearing a stage driver’s
story of Jenny Lind when sho was riding
in tho country. A bird of brilliant pln-
mogo perched on a tree near as they
drove slowly along, and trilled out such a
complication of sweet notes as perfectly
astonished her. Tho coach stopped, and
reaching out, sho gave ono of lior finest
roalades. The beautiful creature arched his
head ou oue side, and listened deferen
tially; then, os if determined to excel his
famous rival, raised his graceful throat
and sang a song of rippling melodv that
mado Jenny rapturously clap her hands
in ccstacy, and quickly, as though she
was before a severely critical audience iu
Castle Garden, delivered somo Tyrolean
mountain strains that sent tho echoes
flying, whereupon Littlo Birdie took it
np and trilled and sang till Jenny, in
happy delight, acknowledged that the
pretty woodland warbler decidedly out
oaroled tho great Swedish Nightingale. I
The Coming Wedding in New York.
Tho wedding of the Barou Lcmmo aud
Miss Ellen W. Throckmorton, of New
York, recently referred to in the Home
Journal, will bo solemnized on Wednos
day, tho 21ut inst, at noon, at tho resi
dence of Miss Throckmorton’s undo, Mr.
Conlding, on Fifth avonuo. It was origi
nally intended that the wedding should
bo celebrated iu graud style, at Christ
church, and arrangements were made ac
cordingly, portions of the bride’s trous
seau having boon imported from Paris^
but a roeont bereavement in tlio young
lady's family necessitates a private and
rather quiet marriage. Miss Throckmor
ton will bo married in a simple silk trav
eling suit, and will bo attended by Miss
Ohoover, of Boston, as bridosmaid. A
youug Gorman goutloman of woalth ami
title will officiate as tho baron’s “best
man” ou tho oocoaion. At tho close of
th* ceremony tho groom will givo a de-
jeuner, and at its conclusion will start
with his bride for Saratoga, where apart
ments havo been secured at a loailiug
hotel. Tho couple will visit many of tho
watering places this summer, and in Au
gust they contemplate sailing for Europe.
Miss Throckmorton has already been the
recipient of many handsome wedding
gifts, some of which, sent from abroad,
are particolAlly elegant Although late
in the season for weddings, this approach
ing hymeneal ovent is oxciting tho fash
ionable world, and will miwt undoubtedly
create a great social sensation.
Fsr the Roys.
A oortain man, who is very rich now,
vra* very poor whon ho was a boy. Whon
asked how ho got his riches, ho said:
“My father taught mo uovor to play till
my work was finished, aud never to spend
my money till I hod earned it If I had
but an hour's work in tho day I most do
that the first thing, and in on hour after
this I was allowed to play; and thon I
oould play with muoh more pleasure thau
oomedy hot been going on for some time, if X had the thought of an unfinished task
before my mind. I oorly formed the
habit of doing everything in time, and it
soon beoaino easy to do so. It is to this
I owe my prosperity.” Let every one
who reads inis do likewise.

"Stately.” said tho lord of Saxony,
“Ismy kingdom and Its power;
Deep into the mountain reaching,
Shafts of stiver are its dower.”
“Soe my country's wanton plenty,”
Said the Elector of the Rhine;
“Goldon cornfields in tho valleys,
On the hills delicious wine.”
“Mighty cities, wealthy cloisters,"
Ludwig of Bavaria spake,
“Cause my realm no rank inferior
By the side of yonrs to take.”
Hpako up Eborhard the Bearded,

“Cities small are in my country,
And its hills no silver bring;

Howe’er far its forests spread—
In the lap of any subject,

Shouted then the lords of Saxony,
Of Bavaria, of the Rhine,
“Bearded Prinoe, thoa art the richest,
Jewels fill that land of thine.”
Profits of Two Cows.
Mr. James Ginn of Orland, furnishes
tlio Ellsworth American with a statement
showing the cost of keeping and profits
of two cows, for the year 18G8, commenc
ing with December 31st. Tho cows aro
half-blood Durhams, one being seven and
the other four years old. One of the cows
“went dry” forty-five days before drop
ping her calf. Their product amounted
to $245 77, and the expense of keeping
was $138 85, leaving a net profit of $106
92. The weight of butter and milk sold
was kept with great accuracv, and also
every item in tho expense of keeping.—
