The man in tho carriage remarked to his wife, * One thing I would give if I could— I’d give my wealth for the strength and the health , ■ . Of the man who sawed the wood.’ ‘ J *' A pretty young maid, with a bundle of work, Whose face as the morning was fair, Went tripping along with a smile of delight, While humming a love breathing air. She looked on the carriage; the lady she saw. Arrayed in apparel so fine, And said in a whisper, ' I wish from my heart Those satins and laces were mine.' The lady looked out on the maid with her work, So fair in her calico dress. And said, ‘ I’d relinquish position and wealth, Her beauty and youth to possess.’ Thus it is iu the world, whatever our lot. Our tuinds and nut time we employ are found ha shallow water are less brilliant in tint than those obtained at a greater depth. These who bring up gold-fish are careful to af ford them protection against the direct rays of the sun, without which precaution they soon lose their beauty. Passing from these facts to a brief discussion of the causes-which result iu these peculiarities of color and tint, we learn that, while in certain eases the color is dne to the molecular arrangement of the living sub stance, this Is not usually the case. Some times these colors arise from a phenomenon libp that by which the soap-bubble shows its prismatic hues; sometimes there is a special pigtdent which is united with the organic sub- stance, as In the brilliant paint carmine, which is the pigment of the cochineal insect. The color left on the bands after holding a butter fly is another instance, and there are certain birds, such as the large white cockatoo, which leave a white powder on the bands. Of the chemical constitution of these various pig ments, little seems known. It is more ordi narily found in the depths of the tissues re duced to fine particles. When the particles are scattered, they scarcely influence the shade; but when near together, as in the case of the negro, they give character to the surface exposed. Age takes it away from the hair, when it turns white, the coloring-matter giv ing place to small air-bubbles. There is motil ities such a man, in the long run, wins. One reason why there are so many mushrooms and puff-balls in society is that men foreswear morality. In the great bustle of commerce, in the conflict of affaire in the heated ways of public life, men think that it is not only safe but justifiable and profitable Ibr them to set aside the fundamental qualitiee of true man- hoed. That is the reason why, when they are ent down they never rise again. We honor great men; bnt it does not take much to make a great man in a community where there are newspapers. Great men have a campaign; great men have one term in Congress; great men have a five years’ or a ten years' career in the State Legislature, and great men think themselves to be immovably great; hut many great men fell, and once falling, never rise again. It doee net hurt some things to fall. The elastic ball, when it falls, springs up again; the solid metal, when it falls, may not spring up, bnt it is solid yet; but find me an apple that, though fair of skin, is rotten at the core, and let that once fall, and what be comes of itf However tempting it looks, when the shaking band once touches it, and it falls, shall it rise again f—Henry Ward Beecher. TAKING TOLL. The road Was new. and pleasant, too. By stream and forest winding; The sky was fair, and everywhere Surprises we were finding. Said I ‘it’s queer 1 the toll-gate’s near, And you cannot go by it Without a kiss, my pretty miss-’ Said she, ’ You’d better try it!’ I took toll—a generous dole— Despite her stout resistance. Said she, * This rate is great For such a trifling distance.’ * If so you say, take back the pay To each minutest fraction; For your sweet sake, I'll gladly take A lesson in subtraction.’ She whispered, ‘Nay, your taking way Has robbed me of a dozen; But you're no kin, so don’t begin To prove yourself a cozen.* We journey on.through shade and son, Regardless o(£he distance; And every day the toll we pay That sweetens oar existence.

A., has operated for soma lime past with extraordinary success at several petty courts iu Central Germany, by playing on the ignorance of the little despots, and their fondness for gorgeous uniform. Endowed with a commanding presence, “Colonel’’ Fisher appeared three months ago at Brunswick, and, dressed in a blue, fancy uniform, with enor mous epaulets on his shoulders, and a plumed bat on bis head, solicited an audience from the reigning Dake. The latter received the “Col onel" at once, and was so charmed with the distinguished foreigner that he invited him to dinner, and requested his presence next day at a review of the Brunswick Black Hassars, where the *• Colonel," mounted on a splendid charger from the Duke’s stables, was the ob served of all observers.

When the beautiful feathers of the hum ming-bird are examined under the microscope, they appear to be simply made of a dark- brown, opaqae substance, not unlike those of the black duck, and to the arrangement of these dark plates the changes and brilliancy of their colors may be ascribed. The many- hued shades ail fishes are due to the same cause. Transfusion of Blood—An Astonishing Result. Max Adeler writes to the Danbury Heirs as follows: A recent medical experiment has excited considerable amount of interest in our village. My neighbor Simpson was nearly dead with consumption, and Dr. Hopkins at last, in de spair, concluded to try the effect of a transfu sion of blood, of which he had heard so much lately. As no human being was willing to [Albxny New., AngnitSth.] WHITELEY’S DOCTRINES WORKING IN ALBANY. What a Negro Said to Two White Ladles. We at last have the shame and humiliation of chronicling an insult, born of the civil rights infamy, and precipitated by the hellish teach ings of Wkiteley and his white-skinned cou- gressive. freres. On Sunday morning last, two highly respect- lower regions | able ladies, a young widow and a young girl ‘Bruderen.'said he, ‘yen's quainted wid ° fflfteen - 8 ^ rted 10 ‘ h ® ^etery io piaco Massa Carpenter's furnace, ain’t you T’ flowers on tb u e *? ve of tho ** hus , baDd ’ and Ob 00 passing the place now frequently termed “ Five Points”—a bar-room kept for negroes' accommodation, on a prominent street and in Rather Hot. A negro preacher in Virginia was lately trying to impress upon bis hearers a correct parity would prevail among them, and the ut most good feeling would characterize their in- terconrso with the white people; bnt they are permitting themselves led to assured destruc tion by a few shrewd, cunning, knavish white men, who have no principle but pelf, aud no use for the negro bnt his vote. They may as well understand now that any farther step in the social equality programme, embracing the civil rights monstrosity and Whiteley's teach ings, cannot snd will not be tolerated. We speak words of warning to them, and appeal to them with the kindness of a friend and the troth of destiny, to set their faces against this doctrine of death, and to hnrl their false teach ers to the rear, and to infamous obscurity, where they must sooner or later find their just punishment. On Tuesday, the parties representing the prosecution appeared before Justice Greer and withdrew the charges. They very properly declined to ailow the ladies to appear in coart as witnesses in such a prosecution, and cor rectly viewed the written code as inadequate for the punishment of such offenses. The negro was discharged from custody, but if he successfully tides over this violent attack of the social equality malady, we shall regard him as a hero and his cause permanently pro How Much Do They Get! BY THE RRV. A. A. R. TAYLOR, D. D. With all the attention given to the public religious instruction of our youth, it is yet a lair question : Hoto much religious instruction do they actually get t Take the children of an average Christian household. The father leaves home at mom with “ ten minutes far prayers before the train,” or before the time for the store, the of fice or the plow. If he return at neon, what time can he get for or from the children f. In the evening be comes home weary; and so do they. He needs rest, which he seeks in the book or newspaper; they need recreation, which they seek where he will not be disturb ed. Alter supper he has his engagements; and, if not, they have their lessons, and scan it is time for sleep. Meanwhile, what time has mother had to give them religions instruction f She must harry in the morning to prepare them for school, and to regulate tho home.

Simpson immedi ately began to revive, but singular to relate, uo sooner bad his strength returned than he jnruped oat of bed, and switching his head about after the fashiou of a goat, he made a savage attempt to butt the doctor. Tbe medi cal gentleman, after having Simpson’s head plunged against his stomach three or fenr times, took refuge in the closet, whereupon Simpson banged bis head against the panel ot the door a conple of times, and would prob ably have broken it to splinters bad not his mother-in-law entered at that moment and di verted his attention. One well-directed blow from Simpson's head floored her, and then, while sho screamed for help, Simpson frolick ed around over the floor making assidnons ef forts to nibble the green flowers in the ingrain carpet. When they called the hired iman in and tied him down on the bed, an effort was made to interview him, bnt the only answer be could give to sneh questions as to how he felt and when be wanted his medicine, was a “ ta-a,” precisely like that of the goat; and then he wonld strain himself in an effort to butt a bole in the headboard. The condition of the pa tient was so alarming, and Mrs. Simpson was indignant, that Dr. Hopkins determined to undo tbe evil; if possible. So be first bled Simpson freely, and then by heavily bribing Simpson's Irishman, be procured fresh blood from him and injected Simpson the second time. Simpson is now as well as ever, except ing that he shocks his Repnblican friends by displaying irresistible tendencies to vote tbe Repnblican ticket, and makes his mother-in- law mad by speaking in a strong brogue.— But he has given np butting, and has never indalged in it since bat once, and that was on Sunday, when one of the remaining corpuscles or goat’s blood got into his brain just as he was going info church, when he butted the sexton half way up the aisle, and only recover ed himself sufficiently to apologise just as tbe enraged official was about to floor him with hymn-book. diamonds, the central stone among them be-1 The time is cotne for tl,e ni !>S ers t0 Lave white t5je eyCi confus - m „ tll0 conS cience, misleading ing the largest diamond in America, and worth I wives I mean what I say.
