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, XIIC IllCIUU.t , uuu Y » LI1 n*v- ..

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, s la And see across the landscape wide tvh The blue Cliarentc, upon whose tide The belfries and the spires of Saintes Ripple and rock from side to side. As, when an earthquake rends Us walls, 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, Till all that it foresees, It finds, Or what it cannot find, creates I Turn, turn, my wheel!

The palaces, the princely halls* The doors of houses, and the walls Of churches and of belfry towers, Cloister and castle, street and mart, Are garlanded and gay with flowers That blossom in the fields of Art.

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.

S. first-class Druggists in ti my8 djfcwly 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.” “It was a clean piece of business, but I think you killed her too soon.” “Nonsense! She was struggUng to get away and I stabbed her anti cut head." off her “She screamed terribly. I’d rather kill a dozen men than one woman.” “It’s all the same to me. Murder is murder, you know.” 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.

I have devoted tYventy years of pa tient study to the Liver and its relations 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 Tl'TTS LIVES PILLS. 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: -ff- 4®~to counterfeit this is forgery.-®* Before purchasing, examine the label closely. THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS exert apeculiar influence on the sys- i. Tneir action is prompt and their tern. 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 ed,shall they be deprived of its benefits, and a vile imitation imposed upon them? Let the honest people of America see to it that they are not defrauded. Scruti nize the label closely, see that it bears all the marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It can be found everywhere. Very respectfully, w. it. TUTT. F.J.
