A A STRANGE -VISION.
Tbe sun was at high meridian. And
as I sat upon a summit and viewed
the beautiful landscape that lay
stretched out before me, and listened
to the sweet music of the feathered
throng, and the rippling rivulets as
they wound their way down the
mountain slope, sleep insensibly JeU
upon me. Whilst thus reposing I
heard the sound of many voices on
my left. I looked, and behold I saw
a vast multitude moving from the
north to southward -ail was clam¬
orous, boisterous, and in great confu¬
sion. In front of this van was a beau¬
tiful spear. It was beautiful to look
upon, for its brightness and dazzling
appearance as the resplendant rays
of the noonday sun lighted upon it.
Next to this beautiful spear came
some old butcher-knives and jack
knives, Which seemed almost in con¬
tact with the spear, they kept so
close to it. Next in the van came a
large crowd of barlows, which was
followed hy a few old men in Iheir
dotage; As i sat and viewed with
wonder and surprise this mixed mul¬
titude, I beard the voices as it were
of many waters. I looked to my
right and saw avast multitude,which
no man could number, moving in
perfect harmony and order, with
nothing to disturb their quiet march
save clamor of the spearites. In
front* and leading this mighty army
or ooneonrse of people was the most
beautiful bell that my eyes ever be¬
held ; it was without spot or blemish
and its tones were sweet and musical)
even the enemies of the bell could
but admire it for its purity, bright¬
ness and usefulness. I sat and watch
pd these two mighty armies till the ■
sun shed its last rays upon the tow¬
ering forest and hid itself behind the
western hills. Night soon came on
and the spear that had shown so
beautifully bright at noonday had
lest ftHJts brightness and no. longer
afforded or furnished a beacon of
light to guide it 6 followers, but was
itself in dargness, groping its way as
best it could without one ray of light
to guide its footsteps. When all at
once it made a misstep and stove it¬
self deep in the earth, to deep that
atl its followers were utterly unable
to extricate it from the dilemma into
which it had fallen, and I heard a
voice saying- i doubt if there oould

be such a thing as a political resurs
rection his case could o^er bo reach¬
ed.' What now is to be done was the
the cry of those that followed this
last and lamented spear, that we with
safety may make good our escape
there was no gaide, no light, no mu¬
sic by the soun which they could
be kept toget After diligent
search, however, at last they found
an old tin horn, but not having been
used since the close of the war if had
become cankered and rust-eaten and
wouldn't blow worth a cent. Just at
this critical juncture tho beautiful
bell I had seen at noonday corax
menced tolling, the old men all arose
:: &at$£tae&e
suiting their actions to their words
started instantly and reached the bell,
camp in safety and was joyfully re¬
ceived and welcomed back.
The butcher-knives still lingered
near the spot where lie ontombed the
lamented spear, but not having cut
up any dead men nor drank any
blood since a short time before the
war had become rusty and stale and
afforded no light by which to make
good their escape. The Barlows
commenced scattering, some went
one way* and some another. And I
heard a voice saying, “let them go
they can’t cut worth a cent no how.”
Last of all came the jack-knives, af¬
ter dropping a tear of sorrow and
pity upon the self-made grave of the
lamented spear as the last tribute of
respect, and after consultation and
due deliberation started for the bell
camp, to which they in darkness
groped their^way where they found
Joel A. Billups perched upon the
flagstaff of glorious and triumphant
democracy. They came to the door
and knocked, and lo and behold I
heard a voice from within, saying,
“Wo unto you jack-knives, you could
not get in yourselves but tried to
hinder those Who were worthy and
well qualified from getting in; de¬
part from me ye workers of iniquity >
| know ye not, into everlasting pun¬
ishment prepared for the devil and

A gentleman was sitting at a din¬
ner party next to a beautiful lady,
whose dress was what the French
call very decollete, which means, 1
believe, very beautiful. A footman
was handing round the ice, the lady
was leaning forward, but as the foot¬
man passed, leaned suddenly back
and struck his hand holding the dish.
The spoon holding a lamp of ice, fell
down her bosom inside her beautfui
or decollete dress! What was the
gentleman to do? I ask for no
answer and am trying to forget the
case. .
BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
As a young friend was standing
with us noticing the people on the
sidewalk, a very beautiful stylish
young lady passed, “What jbeautiiul
hands Miss—-has K exclaimed
o?r friend.
“What makes them beautiful. «
“Why, they are small, white, soft
and exquisitively shaped.”
“Is that all that Constitutes the
beauty of the hand ?~Ms not some¬
thing more to be included in your cat¬
alogue of beauty, which you have not
mentioned, to make the band desira
“What more would nUVlf&SidtrT you have ?

they ever fed the poor? Hav.e they
ever carried the necessities of life
to the widow and orphan ? Have
their soft touch ever smoothed the
irritation of sickness and the agonies
of pain? Do the poor bless those ro¬
sy-tipped fingers, as their wants are
supplied by them?
“Are they useful hands ? Have they
been taught that this world is not a
playing ground or a theatre of display
or a mero lounging place ? Do these
delicate hands ever labor? Are they
ever employed about the domestic
duties of life—the homely, ordinary
employments of the household ? Or
does the owner leave all that to her
mother, while she nurses her delicate
.
hands in idleness ?
“Are they modest hands? Will
they perform their charities or their
duties without vanity? Or do they
pander to .the pride of their owner by
their delicacy and beauty ? Does she
think more of their display than the
improvements of her mind and char¬
acter, and the salvation of her soul ?
“Are they humble bands ? will their
owner extend them to grasp
the hand of that old school¬
fellow who sat at the samo desk with
her and on the recitation bench, but
who now must earn her living by her
labor ? Or will they remain concealed
in their exclusiveness, in her aristos
eralic muff, as she sweeps by her for¬
mer companions?
“Are they holy hands ? Are they
ever clasped m prayer, or elevated m
prayer? Does she remember the God
who has made her to differ from so
many other girls, and devote her
mind, her heart, her hands to His
service? Does she try to imitate the
Savior by going about doing good ?
Or are her bands too delicate, too
beautiful to be employed in good
works ? These are the qualities
make a hand beautiful.”— Guardian
Angel.

ttiC A New Stove. ■*
A fat citizen, having in view the
purchase of a new coal stoVe, was
yesterday standing in front of a hard
ward store, when a newsboy halted
and respectfully said:
“I s*pose you've seen the new stove
—the one that beau'em all"
“I don’t know that! have," was the
calm reply.
“You orter see it, sir. They are
alius talkin' about these coal stoves
which save ten per cent, of fuel, and
now they’ve got one.”
“Have, eh?”
“Yes’r, I saw this one bate going the
other day, hot ’nuff to an ox, an
didn’t bum anjy ^oaL^at all-not
even a pound/’
“Is that possible! Why, I never
heard of such a thing! Didn’t burn
any coal at all ?”
“Not an otince, and It was throw
ing out an awful heat/’
“Well, that beats me. 1 don’t see
how they got the heat.”
“They burned wood, sir!»’ was the
humble reply.

Then tnrned to her fair-haired child and said
“That's a CarnesriUe mosquito, dear.”

At bed time little Willie was say¬
