And you, I know, would scarcely think That they were fair at all. I’ve looked on hands whose form and hue A sculptor's dream might be, Yet are these aged wrinkled hands Most beautitui to me. Such beautiful, beautiful hands— Though heart were weary and sad, Tiiese patient hands kept toiiing on That children might be giad. I almost weep, as looking back To childhood's distant day, I think how these hands rested not, When mine were i.t their play. Such beautiful, beautitui hands, They’re growing feeble now ; For time and pain have left their work On hand, and heart, and brow. Alas ! alas ! the neaiiug time, And the sad, sad day to me, When ’neaih the daisies, Out of sight, These hands will folded be. But oh! beyond this shadow-lamp, Where all is bright and fair, I know full weli these dear old hands Will palms of victory bear.

John Kemble used to say that he could learn a whole number of the Morning Post in four days, and Gen. Christie made a similar assertion, but it is not known bow far either oflhetn verified ibis statement. Roll er! Dillon could repeal in the morn- ng six columns of a newspaper he bad read over night. During the repeal debates in the Douse of Com mons thirty-seven } 7 ears ago, one ol die members wrote out his speech, sent it to the newspapers and re peated it to the house in ihe even- ng. It was found to be the same verbatim as that which he bad writ ten out. John Fuller, a land agent in Norfolk, could remember every ermon, and write it cor rect alter going home. This was tested by comparing his written ac count wtlh the c ergyman’s manu script. Scaliger could repeat a ! hundred verses or more afier having read them a sing e time. Seneca could repeat two thousand words on hearing them once. Magliabecehi, who had a prodigious memory, was once put to a severe test. A gentle man lent him a manuscript, winch was read anti returned. The own- ! er, sometime ufierwar Is, pretending ! lie had lost it, lugged Magliabecehi : to write out as much as he could ie- member, wheieupon the latter, ap pealing to his memory, wrote oul the whole essay. Cyrus, if some of the old historians are lo be credit e l could remember the name ofevery soldier in his large army. There was a Corsican hoy who could te- hearse 40,01)0 words, whether sense or nonsense, as they were dictated, and then repeat them in the reverse order, without making a single mis take. A physician ofMassachuseis, aoout half a century ago, could re- p<= at t lie whole of “Paridise Lost” without misiake, although he had not read it for 20 years. Euler, the great mathematician, when he be came blind, could repeat the whole of Virgil’s “yEneid,” and could re member the first line and the last line on every page of the particular edition which he had been accus tomed to read before he became blind. One kind of retentive memory may he considered as the re sult <>f sheer hml wok, a de termination towards one particular achievement without reference ei ther to cultivation or to memory on oiher subjects. This is frequently shown by persons in humble life in regaid to the Bible. An old beggar man at Sterling, known some forty years ago as Blind Aleck, afforded an insiance of this. He knew the whole Bible by heart; in-omuch that if a sentence were read to him he could tell the book, chapter, and verse; or, il the book, chapter and verse were named he could give the exact words. A gentleman to test him repeated a verse, purposely makingone verbal inaccuracy. Aleck hesitaied, named the place where ihe verse is lo be found, but at ihe same time pointed out ihe verbal error. The same gentleman asked him to repeat the ninetieth verse of the seventh chapter of the Book of Numbers. Alec almost instantly replied: “There is no such that, chapter has only et verses.” Life and Inactivity.—11 a steam-engine is stopped suddenly, and left unused lor a long period, the piston rusts fast in the cylinder, the packing corrodes the rods, and dust thickly covers every part.— When the human frame is inactive and torpid for a length of lime, the muscles relax, the nerves lose their lone, the organs refuse to per.brm their functions and ihe whole of that great machine—the human frame— is disorganized. Day in and day out men sit poring over ledgers and da\-hooks until they are addlehead- ed, and the figures swim before their eyes. When evening com« s, and business hours are over, instead of taking a walk, so as lo send die blood dancing and tingling to the re motest of their frames, they get into some omnibus, and drowsily roll lo their doors. A very -great portion of the minor ailments flesh is heir to is caused by laziness. An artic led individual goes to a doctor: “something is wrong inside,” but he dosen’t know exactly where.— Thereupon the physician looks grave, and says, “All! dyspepsia;” and forthwith orders ionic, aperients and what not, when all the lazy men wants is a two-mile tramp, or a good old fashioned bouncing oil a hard-trotting horse. A certain eas tern potentate, leeling himself out of sorts on one octasiou, sent for his physician and demanded a cure.— “Take this mace,” said the physi cian, “mount a horse, and swing the instrument backward and fir ward, riding meanwhile at a rapid pace.— Certain drugs concealed in the ban die will then exude ; your excellen cy will then absorb them and he cured.” And he was cured, says ihe legend; the shrewd man of nediciue knew full well that ail the king required was fresh air and ex ercise. and he look this method of prescribing them. It is belter^ to wear out than to rust out, and shoe leather is far less cosily than medi cal advice. Stretching the legs re lieves the tension on the purse strings, and the cheapest as w r eli as the best medicine for dullnes, head aches, stupidity, hypochondria, and ill temper, is fresh air and sunlight. These are sovereign remedies ; but because they are easily obtain'd, are not unpleasant to the taste, and cost nothing, lew use them.—Ex. Milky Way.—The milky way forms the grandest feature of the firmament, It completely encircles the whole fabric ot the skies, and sends its light down upon us, accor ding to the best observations, from no less than IS,000,000 of suns. These are planted at various distan ces, too remote to be more than feebly understood, hut their light the medium of measurement, re quires for its transit lo our earth pe riods ranging from ten to a thousand years. Such is the sum of the truths revealed to us by the two Herschels, who, with a zeal which no obstacle could daunt, have ex plored every part of the prodigious circle. Sir William Herschel, after ac~ complishmg his famous section, be lieved that he had gauged the milky way to its lowest depth, affirming that he could follow a cluster of stars with his telescope, constructed ex pressly forthe investigation, as far hack as would require 339,000 years for the transmission of its light.— But, presumptuous as it may seem, we must be permitted to doubt this assertion, as the same telescope, in the same master hand, was not suf ficiently powerful to resolve even the noblae in Orion. Nor must we forget that light, our only clew lo those unsearchable regions, expands and decomposes in its progress ; ami coming from a point so remote, its radiant waves would he disperse in space. Thus the reflection is forced upon us that new clusters and sys tems, whose beaming light will nev er reach our earth, still throng be yond ; and that, though it is permit ted lo man to behold the immensity, he shall never see the bounds of the ctealion. A Japanese Bed.—A traveler in the East gives the following amus ing description of the sleeping ac commodations of the Japanese; A maltras in the form of a very thick quilt, about seven feet long and four w'ide w r as spread on the floor, and over it was laid an ampde robe, very long and heavily padded, and provi ded with large sleeves. Having put on this nightdress the sleeper cov ers himself with another quilt, and sleeps, i. e., “if he has had some years practice,” in use of this bed. But the most remarkable feature about a Japanese bed is the pillow'. This is a wooden box about four incites nigh, eight inches long ami two inches wide at the top. It nas a cushion of folded papers on the upper side lo rest the neck on, forthe eluboiate inauner of dressing the hair dops not permit the Japanese, especially the women, to press die head on the pillow. Every mo-ning. the upper most paper is taken off’ from the cushion, expos ng a clean surface with out the expense of washing a pillowcase. I passed a g:eater part of the night in learning how to poise my head in this novel manner ; and when I finally closed my eyes, it was to dream that I was being slow ly beheaded, and to wake at the cri sis to find the pillow bottom sitie up, and my neck resting on the sharp lower edge of the box. During my c in l tic UXTUntl J 9 1 ■ »»»J ..y» of its customs, masteting the use of the chop-sticks and accustoming my palate to raw fresh fish, but the at tempt to balance my head on a two inch pillow, l gave up in despair, af.er trying in vain to secure the box by tying it lo my neck and head. A recent comfortable writer says: We resemble the self-complacent old squire in the family pew, spoken ot by Washington Irving, w r ho chuck led at seeing the eyes of his poorer parishioners directed toward him whenever the parson spoke of the difficulty of a rich man entering the Kingdom of Heaven, An Indianapolis merchant has been in business thirty-two years and never advertised. He runs a peanut warehouse on a curbstone table. A New Bedford barber cut off’ part of a hoy’s ear on Monday in giving him a close cut. The knight of the shears expressed the opinion , that the boy being young it will ghty-’Xe | P’ obabl >' * r,,w I It is erechtab'e to the publishing interest that the largest individual tax in Charlestowm, Mass., is paid Moses A. Dow*—$7,700. He by acquired his fortune by publishing the Waverly Magazine. A music dealer in an Eastern town announces in his window a sentimental song, “Thou Hast Loved Me and Left Me for twenty- five cents.’’ Fa lcres in Society.—Society is full of failures that need never have been made ; full of men whe have never succeeded, when they might have, and should l ave, suc ceeded ; full of women who in the first half of their days did nothing lint eat and sleep and simper, and in the last half done nothing but per petuate their follies and weaknesses The world is full, I say, of such peo ple ; full of men in every trade and profession who do not amount to anything, and of gills and women without any trade or profession who have no desire to amount to any thing ; and 1 do not speak irreverent ly, and I trust not without due chari ty, without making due allowance for the inevitable in life, when 1 say that good and thoughtful men are weary of their presence. Every boy ought to improve on his lather; every girl grow into a nobler, gent ler, more self-denying womanhood than the mother. No reproduction of firmer types will give the world the perfect type. 1 know not where the millcnium is, as measured by distance of time ; but I do know and so do you all that it is a great w’ay olF as expansion. We have no such men and women yet, no age has ever had any, as shall stan*. on the earth in that age of peace that will not come until men are worthy of it. Spend Wisely.—Look most to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goes out you will always be poor. The art is not in making money, but in keeping it; lit tie expenses, like mice in a barn, when they are many, make great waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald ; straw hy straw, the thatch goes off the cottage; and diop by drop, the rain cornes into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the tap leaks but a minute. When you mean to save begin with your mouth ; there are many thieves down the red lane. The ale-jug is a great waste. In all other things keep within compass. Never stretch your legs farther than the blankets will reach, or you will soon be cold. In clothes, choose suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the main thing; nevermind the looks. A fool may make oioney, but il needs a wise man to spend il. Remember, il is easier to build two chimnies than to keep one going. If you give all to back and board, there is noth ing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and work hard while you are young, and you have a chance lo test when you are old. Henry Ward Beecher says that the most gratifying circumstance in his life was being kissed by Kossuth. A cotemporaty asks .* “Isn’t this a lilt'e hard on poor Mrs. Beecher?” An Indiana editor says: “We leave to-morrow for the county hog show ana hope to take the prize.” It is very appropriately suggested that if Harper’s Weekly would cairicature to some purpose, let it give us a picture of Graot holding out the Thanksgiviog turkey to Massachusetts with one band, while pinning South Carolina to the earth with bis bayonet in the other. Next to busy bees, bootbl icks fur nish the brightest example of im-i proving the “shining hour.”
