A seeming scene would light for me
Of frenzied grief anil wild despair,—
of meagre forms and misery—
Of little children cold and dead.
While others sob aloud for bread.
Refuse from paliid lips a crust!
Why, in the air which round me lingers,
Should I lay wealth to rust;
I’d feel the clutch of bony fingers,
And hear the clank of rattling bones.
The echo low, of hollow groans.

Is it strange that souls, lucre-born,
Should calmly see one trodden down,—
That views an object sad, forlorn,
With sore disgust and angry frown.
Heart cannot feel—’tis gilded o’er—
And mammon’s key locks up the door.
But Pity's God, across life’s wave,
Love’s Itreasiire-trove to man hath given
To cheer the weak—the lost to save,—
E’er the silken strand is riven;
For then is raised the crystal bar,—
For them stands wide the gates ajar.

I. “Syria—Round about Damascus.” The
visitor describes his journey from Muhk-
tara to Damascus, and the visits that he
made to places of interest in and around
the city during a detention there of tlueo
weeks. The description of the performances
of a certain miracle-working sheikh is as
painful as it is wonderful.
II. “A Deadly Feud” is a simple little
story, rather lacking in cheorfulness, writ
ten by Rudolph Lindau.
III. “Ion.” A summary of the plot of the
tragedy of Euripides, together with a com
parison with Talfourd’s play of the same
name, and Swinburne’s “Erechtheus,” giv
ing many quotations.
IV. “Reuta; or, What’s in a Name.” Part
VII. The description of the dinner party
gives an interesting picture of the customs
tiiat prevail among the “Polish landed gen
try of the present day,” customs ot which
the writer lias been an eye-witness.
V. “The Demise of the Kaisarbund” is an
account of tho treaty entered into by the
emperors of Germany, Russia and Austria
in 1872, and their action during tho “War in
the East.”
VI. “Contemporary Literature” describes
the “how. when, and where” of the making
of newspapers, with a full description of
the office of the London Times, and a short
notice of tiiat of the New York Herald.

dying never weep Tlie circle of sobbing,
agonizing hearts around produce not one
tear. Is it that tho dying are insensible
and stiff already in tho icy wave of disso
lution? That cannot be, for tlie dying man
gat hers earth’s loved ones around his couch
of death; asks for his wife’s hand, as if to
gain strength in the mortal struggle; and
leans on tho breast of mother, brother,
sistei, or child, with conscious affection;
and just oefore expiring, at eve, after
a long day’s converse with the angel of
summer, he says to his dear loved ones
—last audible “good night” of earth—
“Kiss me; I am going; 1 will soon be over
the river.” Why, then, do the dying weep
not? It must be because they have reached
a point too deep for earthly crying and
weeping. They are face to face with higher
and holier beings, with the Father in heav
en and his angel throng led on by the Son
Himself; and what are griefs of mourning,
tears of a dying farewell, be it that they
are shed bv tiie dearest on earth, in that
vision bright of immortal life and everlast
ing reunion.
A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
Tho glory of summer lias gone by—the
beautiful greenness has become withered
and dead. Were this all, were there no as
sociations of moral desolation, faded hopes,
hearts withering in the bosoms of the liv
ing, connected with the decaying scenery
around us, we would not indulge in a mo
ment’s melancholy. The season of flowers
will come again; the streams will flow
gracefully as before; the trees will again
toss their cumbrous heads or greenness to
thesuriliglit, and by mossy stone and wind
ing rivulet the coming blossoms will start
up at the bidding of their guardian. But
the heart lias no change like that of nature;
it has no returning spring-time. Once
blighted in its hour of fresiiness, it bears
forever the mark of the spoiler. The dews
of affection may fall, and tlie gentle rain of
sympathy be lavished upon it, but the stone
root of blighted feeling will never again
waken into life, nor crushed flowers of hope
blossom with their wonted beauty.

2 6m.I For sale by John 11. Clark,
was begun and carried on; all sorts of sub
jects were discussed, and at length tlie con
versation turned upon apparitions or su
pernatural appearances. George Lawson,
who had just begun the practice or medi
cine, was among those who strenuously op
posed the idea of supernatural visitations
as absurd and preposterous in the highest
degree.
“Why,” said he “it is contrary to all rea
son, to science and philosophy.”
“I adn.it,” said the artist, who zealously
supported the question, “that with our
present knowledge of natural laws anil
their operations many occurrences which
seem past comprehension now may yet be
discovered to be only the effect of some
hitherto hidden law’ of nature; but there
are undoubtedly cases of mysterious ap
pearances which from their manner of ap
pearing and vanishing would make it ut
terly impossible to trace to any natural
cause.”
Thus was the subject argued, pro and
con, with equal vehemence and sincerity
on both sides, tho whole company becom
ing engrossed in tli 3 dispute. At last the
artist proposed to Lawson to accompany
him that evening to his house, a short dis
tance in the country, and that he would
there convince him of the reality of super
natural agency, and that if he did not he
would then allow himself, in the estimation
of the present company, to whom lie ap
pealed asjudgesof the present controversy,
to be defeated.
Lawson, the surgeon, with an incredulous
laugh, instantly consented to the proposal,
if his friend would promise on his honor
that no trick should lie resorted to, and
here for the present the matter rested.
Wine and cigars now circulated briskly,
and the evening passed in tlie greatest har
mony and conviviality. The artist took
his glass cheerfully, while the surgeon re
served himself to be completely on his
guard against any manoeuvre which might
be practiced in order to deceive him, or as
he properly observed, “To be in full and
sober possession of my faculties, that what
ever may be presented to my sight may
be examined through the medium of my
reason.”
The company broke up at rather an early
hour, and the two friends, artist and doctor,
set out on their spiritual adventure. When
they drew near tho house the artist sud
denly stopped his horse near the entrance
to a large sombre grove of trees, and tiie
two young men descended from the car
riage and walked together towards the
grove.
After proceeding a short distance the ar
tist paused and traced a large circle on tlie
ground, into which he requested his friend
to enter. He then said in a solemn tone:
Lawson, if you have any misgivings as to
your having sufficient resolution to remain
here alone now is the time to speak, and
we will defer this business until you are
completely prepared in your own mind, for
that which I warn you will be a terrible
trial of your courage and resolution.”
But the surgeon, with a faint suspicion
that his friend was only trying to hoax him
into backing out, replied: “I am as well
prepared now as ever I shall be for any
thing of this sort: but I must remind you
that no trick shall be played on me; I will
submit to nothing of the sort, and I assure
you beforehand that I intend to visit im
mediate and condign punishment upon any
perpetrator of a practical joke,” at tlie same
time displaying a loaded pistol.
“I give you my word of honor again,” re
plied the artist, with increased gravity and
solemnity in his voice, “that this will be no
trick to frighten you. I sincerely believe
the truth of supernatural appearances
and have come here for tlie purpose of con
vincing you of the same. And further
more,” and here his voice sank to a melan
choly whisper, “my dear friend, you know
not what I am risking to convince you of
the trutli of my assertions. And now I
charge you whatever you may see stir not
from the spot till you see me again. If you
step beyond this circle it will lie your own
immediate destruction.”
He then left tho surgeon to his own medi
tations, who could hardly refrain from
smiling at what lie considered the assum
ed solemnity of his friend and the whim
sical position in which he was himself
placed.
The night was clear and frosty, and the
stars shone with a peculiar brilliancy.—
Lawson looked around on ail sides to ob
serve from whence lie might expect ills
ghostly visitant. lie directed his gl.uice
towards the grove of trees and observed a
spark of lire at a considerable distance
within its gloomy shade. The light ad
vanced nearer; he then concluded tiiat it
was a torch borne by some perso'n who
was in the artist’s secret and who person
ated a ghost.
It advanced nearer and nearer, at the
same time increasing In intensity; it ap
proached the circle wherein lie was placed.
“It was then,” to use his own expression,
that I seemed to be surrounded with a fiery
atmosphere; the heavens and every object
before visible were now excluded from my
sight.”
But now a figure of the most unclefinabie
description absorbed his whole attention;
his imagination had never yet conceived
anything so fearful. What appeared to him
the more remarkable was an awful benig
nity portrayed in its countenance and with
which it seemed to regard him.
He contemplated for awhile this terrible
object, but at length fear began insensibly
to arrest his faculties. He sank down upon
his knees to implore the protection of heav
en ; he remarked—for his eyes were still
riveted on the mysterious appearance,
which remained stationary and earnestly
regarded him—that at every repetition of
the Almighty’s name it assumed a more
benignant expression of countenance, while
a terrific brilliancy gleamed from its eyes.
He fell prostrate on tho ground, fervently
imploring heaven to remove from him tlie
object of his terror.
After a while he raised iiis head and be
held the light fading away by degrees In
thedark shade of the grove from which it
issued. It soon entirely disappeared and
his friend joined him in almost the same
moment. During their ride to the artist’s
house, which was close at hand, the former
asked his companion: “Are you now con
vinced that what you have just witnessed
is supernatural?”
The surgeon replied, “I cannot give a de
termined answer to that question. I can
not, on natural principles, account for what
I have seen. It certainly was not like any
thing earthly, therefore, I beg to be excus
ed from saying anything more oil the sub
ject, which I cannot comprehend.”
“lam sorry,” said the artist, “that you
are not convinced,” and added, with a look
of intense internal suffering in his features,
“I regret still more that I ever tried to con- I
vince you.”
Thus far the whole oecurrencg''may lie !
considered as a phantasmagoria! trick, j
played on thecredulity of tlie surgeon, but j
ifwetakethatviewoftheca.se, how shall j
we account for that which came after
wards? Had the artist, like a person ig
norant of a complicated piece of machinery, 1
given impetus to a power which he could j
not control, and which, in the end, proves j
fatal to him who puts it in motion?
which seemed to deprive him of animation
and almost of the power of speech.
It wasjiow near morning, and the artist
remained absorbed in thought, but appar
ently not wishing to retire to iied. Ho left
Iiis friend to entertain himself as best lie
could; and tiie surgeon, having in vain at
tempted to rally tlie spirits of his friend,
now sat silently smoking Iiis cigar.
Suddenly, a heavy step was heard in tlie
hall; it approached the room in which they
were sitting. A knock at the door was
heard; tlie artist raised his head and look
ed mournfuily at Iiis friend. The knock was
repeated. Both were silent. A third knock,
and the surgeon broke tlie silence by ask
ing his friend why he did not bid the visi
tor enter. Ere the artist could reply the
door was thrown wildly open, and behold !
the same dreadful appearance which the
surgeon had already witnessed stood on
the threshold of the apartment.
Its awful benignity of countenance was
now changed into the most appalling and
terrible frown. A large dog that was in
the room crept, whining and trembling,
behind the artist's chair. For a few mo
ments tlie figure remained stationary, and
then motioned the artist to follow it. He
rushed towards it; tho apparition receded
before him; and tlie surgeon, determined
to accompany him, followed with the dog.
They proceeded, unobserved, into the
garden. The doors and gates seemed to
open spontaneously before them. From
the garden they passed into the open fields;
the surgeon and tiie dog were about twenty
or thirty feet behind the artist. At length
they reached the spot near the entrance to
tiie grove where the circle had been traced.
The apparition stood still, when, suddenly,
a column of flame shot up, a loud shriek
was heard, a heavy body seemed to fall
from a great height, and then all was silence
and darkness.
Tlie surgeon called loudly on iiis friend,
but received no answer. Alarmed for his
friend’s safety, he hurried back to the
house, and aroused the family. They pro
ceeded to the spot, and found the apparent
ly lifeless body of the artist stretched on
the ground. The surgeon ascertained, on
examination, that the heart still beat faint-
y. He was instantly borne to the house,
and all proper means used to restore ani
mation ; he revived a little and seemed sen
sible of their attentions, but remained
speechless until iiis deatli, which took place
three days after.
Down one side, from iiead to fixit, the
flesh was Jivid and black, as from a fall or a
severe bruise. Tlie affair was hushed up in
the neighborhood, and his sudden deatli
attributed to disease of the heart.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
[New Orleans Picayune.)
Every newspaper office should have a
small room fitted up especially for orators,
where those who must talk can go and do
themselves justice without disturbing those
who wisli to write.
The Hon. George F. Hoar remarks, pro
phetically: “God will take care of the ne
gro.” That is what Parson General How
ard said when the Freedman’s Bank broke
and scattered the colored man’s money.
[Springfield Republican.)
The Oiiio result is seen very clearly a
Washington to help the prospects of Bay
ard and to hurt Grant. Foster is not a
Grant man, Ewing is certainly not a Bay
ard man. In other words, the conservative
influence in each part}’ is going to make it
self felt in favor of better men than Grant
and Tildeh.

Tlie democratic party has got lo carry

publicans. alike take this admission and
make tiie most of it.
[New York Sun.)
This is tlie true iirvaidness of this re
markable complication in New Y'ork. On
the one hand, we have Republicans who
prefer that Tilden should be made Presi
dent in 1880 rather than Grant; and on the
other, we have Democrats who are willing
to see Grant come in for a third term rath
er than leave open to Mr. Tilden the chance
of receiving the Democratic nomination.

A New York member of congress named
Simon B. Chittenden begun to show signs
of lunacy on political questions about the
close of t lie last session. His fancy takes
the egotistical shape of all iiis class and
lie imagines that everybody is anxious to
hear from him. One of his hobbies is writ
ing open letters to Senator lien Hill through
the New York Tribune. Mr. Hill humors
him by sending him copies of invoices? of
tea in original Chinese and Chittenden re
gards them as rough draughts of new con
federate constitutions.

We notice in Garrard’s closing note, in
tlie late controversy between Governor
Brown and himself and the prompting
committee, that lie claims Brown left him
“in possession of tlie field. “We under
stand a number of the members ot tlie gen
eral assembly met Governor Brown, and
one of them ealied the attention of the gov
ernor to tlie fact and asked him if lie had
left Garrard in possession of the field. Tlie
governor replied, “l’es, and I pressume he
will remain in possession of it for a long
time. When I go into a tigiit, my habit is,
on retiring from tlie Held, to leave my dead
enemy in possession of it.”
[Griffin News.]
Among the hundred-and-one foolish
tilings that the legislature did was to pass
the new interest bill, fixing the highest
rates to be charged at eight per cent. This
act virtually stops banks from loaning
money, for it requires five or sLx per cent
to pay the expenses of a fifty thousand dol
lar bank. For instance, they have a presi
dent at twelve hundred dollars, a cashier
at twelve hundred, then if th- y have no
book-keeper, their rents, insurance and tax
es will amount to at least seven or eight
hundred dollars. This calculation, which
we think is a liberal one. shows that it re
quires six pet'cent to nm a fifty thousand
dollar bank, which only leaves two percent
net on the capital. Then the worst hard
ship it will work will be on the farmer, who,
when they do tiorrow money, do it on six
or eight months time in order to have time
to make a crop. The bankers say they
cannot loan money for tiiat time at eight
per cent per annum, and the consequence
will be that the merchants will have to bor
row the money on short time at one per
cent per month and supply the farmers with
supplies on time at big prices. The law is
a very unjust one, both to the lender and
the borrower, and was worked through the
legislature by politicians with the hope of
making capital out of it.
[Atlanta Dispatch.
We believe that the vote of the Senate
was unanimous—at all events it was more
! than a two-thirds vote—in condemnation
of tiie act of Comptroller Goldsmith in
takim” fees Tor official services to which he
was not entitled, such conduct being held
to be illegal in view of the constitutional
prohibition, “The Secretary .of State,- the
Comptroller-General anil the Treasurer
shall not lie allowed any fee, perquisite or
compensation other than their salaries, as
prescrilied by law.” Yet it was admitted
that tiie Treasurer received a fee of $247
for signing the coupons of tlie Northeastern
Railroad bonds, and this was one of the
charges against him upon which the Senate
pronounced him not guilty and not deserv
ing impeachment. Here is another dis
crimination that ought to lie explained in
