Turn, turn, my wheel! Turn round and

This clay, well mixed with mend and sand,
Follows the motion oj
For tome must follow and sorne command.
Though all are made of day.
Thus sang the Potter at bis task _
Beneath the blossoming hawthorn tree.
While o’er his features, like a mask,
The quilted sunshine and leaf shade
Moved, as the boughs above him swayed,
And clothed him, till he seemed to be
A figure woven in tapestry,
So sumptuously was ne arrayed
Iu that magnificent attire
Of sable tissue flaked with fire.
Like a magician he appeared,
A conjurer without book or beard;
And while he plied his magic art—
For it was magical to me—
I stood in silence and apart,
And wondered more and more to see
That shapeless, lifeless mass of clay
Rise up to meet the master's hand,
And now contract and now expand,
And even his slightest touch obey;
While ever in a thoughtful mood
He sang his ditty, and at times
Whistled a tune between the rhymes,
As a melodious interlude.
Turn, turn, my wheel! Allthings must change
To something new, to something strange:
_ wtinn th/it is ran no use or stall:
frothing that is can pause or stay :
The moon will w
The moon wm wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain.
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be to-day.
Thus still the Potter sang, and still,
By some unconscious act of will,
The melody, and even the words,

Were intermingled with my thought,

As bit* of colored thread are caug
And woven into nests of birds.
And thus to regions far remote,
Beyond the ocean’s vast expanse,
This wlzzard in the motley coat
Transported meon wings of song,

And by the northern shores of France
Bore me with restless speed along.
What land is this that seems to be
A mingling of the land and sea?
This land of sluices, dikes and dunes?
Tills water-net that tessellates
The landscape? this unending maze
Of gardens, t hrough whose latticed gates
The imprisoned pinks and tulips gaze;
Wherein' ~
... long summer afternoons
The sunshine, softened by the haze,
Comes streaming down as through a screen;
Where over fields and pastures green
The painted ships float high in air.
And over all and everywhere
The sails of windmills sink and soar
Like wings of sea-gulls on the shore?
What land is this? Yon pretty town
Is Delft, with all its wares displayed;
— .... * ‘-’--e, thecri
The pride, the market-place, the crown
And centre of the Potter’s trade.
See! every house and room is bright
With glimmers of reflected light
From plates that on the dresser shine;
Flagons to foam with Flemish beer,
Or sparkle with the Rhenish wine.
And pilgrim-flasks with flcurs-de-lisj
And ships upon a rolling sea.
And tankards pewter-topped and queer
With grotesque mask and musketeer!
Kaoh hospitable chimney smiles
A welcome from its painted tiles;
The parlor walls, the chamber floors,'
The stairways and the corridors,
The borders of the garden walks,
Are beautiful with fadeless flowers,
That never droop in wind or showers,
And never wither on their stalks.
Turn, turn, my wheel! All life is brief;
What now is bud will soon be leaf.
What note is leaf will soon decay ;
The wind blows cast, the wind blows west:
The blue eggs in the robin's nest
Will soon have wings and beak and breast,
And.dutter and fly away.
Now southward through the air I glide,
The song my only pursuivant,

And see across the landscape wide

The belfries and the spires of Saintes
Ripple and rock from side to side.

A crumbling city reels and falls.
Who is it. iu the suburbs here,
This Potter, working with such cheer,
In this mean house, this mean attire,
His manly features bronzed with fire,
Whose flgulines and rustic wares
Scarce find him bread from day to day?
This madman, as the people say,
Who breaks his tables and his chairs
To feed his furnace fires, nor cares.
Who goes unfed if they are fed,
N'or who may live if they are dead?
This alchemist with hollow cheeks,
And sunken, searching eyes, who seeks,
By mingled earths and ores combined
With potency of fire, to find
Some new enamel hard and bright.
His dream, his passion, his delight?
0 Palissy! within thy breast
Burned the hot fever of unrest;
Thine tvasthe prophet’s vision, thine
The exultation, the divine
Insanity of noble minds.
That never falters nor abates,*
But labors and endures and walls,

Or what it cannot find, creates I

Still guided by the dreamy song,
As in a trance I float along
Above the Pyrenian chain,
Above the fields and farms of Spain,
Above the bright Majorcan Isle

A spot, a dot upon the chart,
Whose little towns,red-roofed with tiles,
Arc ruby-Iustred with the light,
Of blazing furnaces by night,
And crowned by day with wreaths of smoke
Then eastward wafted in my flight
On my enchanter's magic cloak,
I sail across the Tyrrhene Sea
Into the land of Italy,
And o'er the windy Apennines,
Mantled and musical with pines.
The palaces, the princely halls*
The doors of houses, and the walls
Of churches and of belfry towers,

Huge as were those wherein the maid
Mcrgiana found the Forty Thieves
Concealed in midnight ambuscade;
And seeing more than half believes
The fascinating tales that run
Through all the Thousand Nights and One,
Told by the fair Scheherezade.
More strange and wonderful than these
Are the Egyptian deities—
Ammon, and Emoth, and the grand
Osiris, holding in his hand
The lotus: Isis, crowned and veiled ;
The sawed Ibis, and the Sphinx;
Bracelets with blue-enameled links;

With smoke uprising, gyre on gyre,
And painted by the it

Of Jets and flashes of red fire.
As leaves that in the autum fall.
Spotted and veined with various hues,
Are swept along the avenues,
And lie in heaps by hedge and wall,
* ihlrr
So from this grove of chimneys whirled
To all the markets of the world,
These porcelain leaves are wafted on—
Light yellow leaves with spots and stains
Of violet i
and of crimson dye,
Or tender azure of a sky
Just washed by gentle April rains,
And beautiful with celadon.
Nor less the coarser household wares—
The willow pattern, that we knew
In childhood, with its bridge of blue
Leading to unknown thoroughfares-
lit;
The solitary man who stares
At the white river flowing through
Its arches, the fantastic trees
And wild perspective of the view;
And intermingled among these
The tiles that in our nurseries
Filled us with wonder and delight,
ght.
Or haunted us in dreams at nigh
And yonder by Nankin, behold!
The Tower of Porcerlain, strange and old,
Uplifting to the astonished skies
Its ninefoli
iu ...uc.old painted balconies,
With balustrades of twining leaves,
And roofe of tiles, beneath whose eaves
Hang porcelain bells that all the time
Ring with a soft melodious chime;
While f ‘
the whole fabric is ablaze
With varied tints, all fused in one
Great mass of color, like a maze
Of flowers illumined by the sun.
Turn, turn, my wheel! What is begun
At daybreak must at dark be done,
To-morrow will be another day:
To-morrow the hot furnace flame
WiU search the heart and try the frame.
And stamp with honor or with shame
These vessels made of clay.
Cradled and rocked in Eastern seas,
The islands of the Japanese
Beneath me lie; o’er lake and plain
The stork, the heron, and the crane
Through the clear realms of azure drift.
And on the hill-side I can sco
The villages of Imari,
Whose thronged and flaming workshops lift
Their twisted columns of smoke on high,
Cloud-cloisters that in ruins lie,
With sunshine streaming through each rift,
And broken arches of blue sky.
All the bright flowers that fill the land.
Ripple of waves on rock or sand,
The snow on Fuslyama’s cone,
The midnight heaven so thickly sown
YY r ith constellations of bright stars,
The leaves that rustle, the reeds that make
A whisper by each stream and lake,
ffri “
The saffron daw n, the sunset red.
Are painted on these lovely jars;
,in the sky-lark sings, again

The stork, the heron and the crane
Float through the azure overhead.
The counterfeit and counterpart
Of Nature reproduced in Art.
Art is the child of Nature; yes.
Her darling child, In whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude,
All her majestic loveliness
Chastened and softened and subdued
Into a more attractive grace,
And with a human sense imbned.
He is the greatest artist, then,
Whether of pencil or of pen,
Who follows Nature. Never man,
As artist or as artisan,
Pursuing his own fantasies.
Can tonch the human heart, or please,
Or satisfy our nobler needs,
As he who sets his willing feet
IreNature’s footprints, light and fleet.
And follows fearless where she leads.
Thus mused I on that morn in May,
Wrapped in my visions like the Beer,
Whose eyes behold i ‘
not what is near,
Bnt only what is far away,
When suddenly sounding, peal oh peal,
The church bell from the neighboring town
Proclaimed the welcome hour of noon,
The Potter heard, and stopped his wheel,
His apron on the grass threw down,

Whistled his quiet little tune,
Not overloud nor overlong,
And ended thus his simple son]
Slop, stop, my wheel! Too soon, too soon.
The noon will be the afternoon,
be vest
Too soon today be yesterday:
Behind us in our path we east
The broken potsherds of the past.
And all are ground to dust at last.
And trodden into clay!
Harper's Magazine, for December.
test Triumphant After Fifty Year*,
The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press of
Thursday details an interesting and
romantic story thus:
“Last week the Whitehall papers
contained the simple notice of the
marriage of S. Lyman Dwight of that
place to Mrs. Nancy Adams, of Car-
son City, Nev. Away back in the
year 1827 Lyman Dwight Yvas a lad
17 years old, poor, and accustomed t,o
earn his own living. About that time
lie became devoted to a girl two years
younger, and the young man’s senti
ments were unquestionably recipro
cated by her. Her family Yvas a weal
thy one. About that period Dwight
obtained employment on a sloop that
plied the waters of Lake Champlain,
and while following that calling left
his native viUage, South Hero. The
girl’s parents learned of his Y-ocation,
and considering it too menial, de
manded that all intercouse between
the two should cease. Finding that
the dictates of love still overcame all
obstacles while the young people
were near each other, the girl Yvas
taken to St. Lawrence county to lh T e,
and as time went on she apparently
forgot the choice of former days, for
she married a man named Adams,
who became infused with the gold
fever of 1849 and departed for Califor
nia. He was industrious, and accu
mulated a fortune from gold mining.
About 1853 his family joined him on
d
ope i
until the children had become beads
of families. Some time in 1857 the
elder Adams died, and his YvidoYv re
mained single, devoting herself to
the family, of Yvhich certain mem
bers have become prominent persons,
one son at present filling the position
of Lieutenant GoY’ernor of Nevada,
Yvhile another is mayor of Carson
City, in the|same State. During this
long interval Dwight lingered around
the vicinity where he Yvas born, and
after embarking in several different
callings, finally became a successful
merchant. He YY-as also married, but
his wife died three years ago. Learn
ing by chance where Mrs. Adams
lived, the attachment for his ‘first
love’ again asserted itself, and a cor
respondence was commenced. After
a few months he had for the second
time proposed marriage, and no ob
stacle preventing, she came from Ne
vada a feYV weeks ago and met Mr.
Dwight, the two not haY-ing seen
each other since they were sejmrated,
as stated. On Sunday, Sept. 30, they
met at the Iodine Springs house,
South Hero—the Home of their
childhood—and were married by ReY\
George S. Guernsey. Thus, after a
space of 50 years has elapsed, they
are at last united, and living content
edly together at Whitehall, where
Mr. Dwight, who is sixty-seven
years old, carries on the hardware bu
siness.

Strange words are sometimes over
heard by travelers in out-of-the-way
taverns, ostentatiously called hotels.
Multitudes of such receptacles “for
man and beast” are situated in places
where civilization is in its dawn, and
the partitions of rooms are so llimsy
as to let out every syllable which vis-
itors utter. Many a fright, based up
on imaginary danger, has compelled
such persons to flee, as the guests of
an interior Italian hotel sometimes
do,for fear of being murdered by brig
ands .in the guise of honest and inno
cent citizens. A discovery of facts
and a knowledge of personal coward
ice are not pleasant things to men
who run aYvay from a shadow. The
subjoined account of an adventure in
the wilderness has a great deal of
dramatic snap in it The scene is in
Texas, and the parties to that which
looked to be a tragedy or an ensan
guined melodrama, might well write
up a farce and call it
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
“Where did you leave the head ?”
“In the basket.”
“AU bloody?”
“Yes.”

but I think you killed her too soon.”

“She screamed terribly. I’d rather

“It’s all the same to me. Murder

the
I give the conversation just as I
heard it on that moonlight night
more than ten years ago.
It was in western Texas, and the
place, a little frontier, hotel, where I
had been compelled to stop for the
night.
It was late when I got there, and
later when I retired, and the moon
was streaming in at the windows
when, from an adjoining room, came
the voices of two men talking as
above.
I think I was never so frightened
before in aU my Ufe; my hair fairly
stood on end; I was weak and my
breath came thick and fast.
What could these men mean by
such horrible talk ?
Surely they were two of the great
est villians thatever went unhung.
I listened, still trembling, and hard
ly daring to breathe.
Finally I managed to get up suffi-
' ol<
cient courage to cut a hole through
the canvass partition and take a look
at the scoundrels.
They were sitting- near a small ta
ble, and each had a pipe in his mouth,
smoking.
They did not look Uke very dan
gerous fellows, but appearances are
often deceptive, as the world knows.
One of them was a short, thick-set,
freckled-face fellow, with red hair;
the other was taU and thin, and wore
a black mustache.
“So you think I didn’t do the kill
ing properly ?” said the small man,
throwing a cloud of tobacco smoke
upward.
“You are a man of nerve,” was the
reply.
“And strength ?”
“Yes.”
“In fact, I’m a slasher. To-morrow
night I’ll do better. I’ll drive the
weapon home just at the right mo
ment.”
I waited to hear no more, but quiet
ly slipped from the room and sought
out tne keeper of the inn.
“Get up my horse,” I said.
The horse was brought to the door
in fifteen minutes.
“My bill!”
He charged me a double price, and
I paid it without a murmur.
Then I mounted, and just as I was
about to ride away he spoke:
“Stranger, don’t you like my
house?” he said.
“It is not your house,” I replied,
“but the people in it.”
I did not wish to talk to the man,
as I regarded him with suspicion.
So I put spurs to my horse and gal-
I di '
, iy
reign until I reached the next settle
ment, which was a town of fifteen
hundred people, principally stock
raisers.
“What for you ride so like der div-
al ?” asked the honest German land
lord, at whose house I stopped.
“To get out of the way of a band of
cut-throats,” I replied.
And I told this story, with embel
lishments, all over town, and the peo
ple thought my escape miraculous.
The day passed, and at night I went
to a show that was advertised to ap
pear in town.
The play was called the “Scarlet
Dagger,” and the performers num
bered something like a dozen.
The first scene was not very excit
ing, but when the curtain went up
the second time I fairly yelled
through mingled fear and surprise.
There on the stage stood two per
sons, a* young girl and a man, and
they were talking angrily, when sud
denly the man drew a dagger from
his belt and stabbed the girl to the
heart; then he cut off her head and
threw it in a basket near by.
Of course, this was not literally so,
but it seemed perfectly real; but what
gave me the greatest surprise was to
recognize in the man who did the
killing one of the young fellows whose
conversation the nignt before had
frightened me most to death. Yes,
there he stood, the short, thick-set,
freckled-faced lunatic who had been
the cause of all my terror.
It was plain'enough now. The two
young men I had overheard talking
in the room next to my own were
roving actors, and they were discus
sing the Y r ery scene I had just wit
nessed.
It is useless to say that I felt angry
with myself; I was positively mad,
and, leaving the room in a hurry, I
went down on the street and tried to
hire a Texas cow-boy to kick me from
one end of the State to the other.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, October 1st, 1877.
I have devoted tYventy years of pa

to the human body, in search of a rem
edy which would restore it, when dis
eased, to its normal condition. The
result of that labor has been the pro
duction of

Their popularity has become so extend
ed ana the demand so great as to induce
unscrupulous parties to counterfeit
them, thereby rorbing me of the re
ward, and the afflicted of their virtues.
TO CAUTION THU PUBLIC,
and protect them for vile impositions, I
have adopted a new label, which bears
my trade-mark and notice of its entry
in’the Office of the Librarian of Con
gress, also my signature, thus:

good effects are felt in a few hours. A
quarter of a century of study of the
IiiY-er has demonstrated that it exerts
a greater influence over the system
than any other organ of the body, and
when diseased the entire organism is
deranged. It is specially for the heal
ing of this vital organ that I have spent
so many years of toil, and having fonnd
the remedy, which has proved the
greatest boon ever furnished the afflict

and a vile imitation imposed upon
them?
