Upon my bosom lies . A knot cl blue and gray; \ou ask me, why ? Tears fill my eyes As low to you I say : I h"d two brothers once— Warm-hearted, hold and gay; 1 lmy left my side—ouc wore the bluo, The other wore the gray. Ono rode with Stonewall nnd his men, And joined hi fate to Lee; Ti e other followed Sherman's march Triumphant to the sea. Doth fonglif for what they deemed the right And died with sword in hand ; One sleeps amid Virginia’s hills, And one in Georgia's sand, T ie same sun shines upon their graves— Mr love unchanged must stay; And so upon my bosom lies, The knot of blue and gray. Concerning* Work and Economy. Now John's naturally one of the best o_f creatures. His soul won and rise up grandly within hint at, the im putation of being sma 1. But then bo has what, most men iiave, a streak of inconsistency. John is a doe -Stic animal, conse. "tjienliy onr mutual expressions of Opinion frequently touch upon house hold affairs. I suppose it isn’t possi ble for the average man lo have any just conception < f ihe amount of ac tual work a woman does. So some times when I get just tired enough to feel generally illused I say to John, with dignity, “I wish you did have the least idea what it is to keep house.’’ Whereupon John replies, just as he has three dozen times before, “What it we lived on a farm?” After be has said that 1 fuel for two con.-ecntive minutes that I should just !ii.c to shake him, then I think better ot it, and in a supernaiuraliy mild voice I say, “Now, John, you listen. Suppose we did live on a farm, would it be any harder spending my time in making butter, and cheese, and cooking, and washing dishes, than it is to keep up this continual round of sweeping and dusting, and scrubbing and scouring, to keep rooms always presentable for ourselves, and our friends? Women that live ou a farm have more to do than they oueht, very much more, but they have some peace while they are doing it. They are riot constantly harrassed by callers on baking and sweeping days. The fact of their liv ing on a tarm excuses them from keep ing up the back-breaking style that town life itnnoses.” At this point John looks at mo with the dignity of an owl, and remarks, “\\ hy do you keep up this style then ? ” “John Augustus!” I reply with suppressed wrath, “I should like to have you show me one tiling that I might neglect to do, that you wouldn’t be the first to notice? It was only the otjier day that I had spent hours and hours in blacking stoves, and cleaning zinc, and sweeping and dust, jng the parlors, and dou’t you re member coming into the .oom and looking very much disgusted becau-e Chub had harnessed a pair of chairs in the middle of the floor ? Let a man assume all the characters a housekeep er docs, and see if it hu’t igbtly" wearing. She must ' . cook, and washerwoman, and nurse and scum stress, and maid of all work, and ’hove everything she must be the lady, al ways tastefully attired, ready on the instant to reciuve guests will) grace and cordiality. Jusi think for a mo ment, John, if that’s easy for one per son to do ? ” John couldn’t say it was, so by way of changing the sut>j\ ct he said, “I should like to know what you haye done w ith that teakettle cover, I can’t find it.’’ “Well, my dear,” I said with an af fectionate rmil e, “you never w ill see its like’again. As for having a tea kettle Id lied on with a string for an other six months, 1 don’t intend to have it. We’ve lost more cheerful spit its and happy hearts fishing up that cover from the bottom of the kettle, than we'll be able to find in a lifetime.’’ John lias a little discrimination, so when he sees that I am in a mood for exhortation he lets me go on. Now I knew that the reason why we hadn’t that, new cover was because John never thought to get one, that was all. But for the sake of making a point I dragged out an imaginary HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., 01, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31. 1876. John and d.'uhhed I in. <l lucre arc some f • k s that would i*t provide 'd at an o'd hr kmi ba-ked utensil for f reo hundred and sixty five times a year, rather tlnn pay twelve and a lia’f cents to have it mended. They will put thorns Ives to id! sorts of inconvc ienre and actual hardship raiher than diminish the pile they want to Salt down’.” Just hero Jo' n turned 'lie eye that had specu'atinu in it toward me and said: “I suppose.you know they are pretty shif less folks that don’t salt down anyihiug?” “Yes, I know, but the sailing dou n that makes pimple in comfortable cir cumstances, fcul deg poor all their lives, that makes people twist and turn everything to their own advan tage, that puts a ban on all ben vo- ; fence, and makes a home barren of beauty and joy—l protest "gainst giving over money to such moth and rust ’’ John winked two or three times and said : “If you should have your way you would be exirrvngant.” Now if there is anything that ex asperates me it is to have him such a stu id when l am trying to lay my honest views brf ire,him. But shak ing down my vexation and swallow ing a few frozen tears, I said in a tone that was intended to be very pathetic, “John, I thought that I should nev er tell you a few little things I have done in the line of extravagance. I won’t call them personal sacrifices, for lam no martyr. Perhaps you re inemb *r you promised me anew wrap this winter, and that I finaily con cluded to make my olu ono do. Do you know that I changed my mind because I found your office carpet was too shabby to look wellf and I knew you couldn't really afford to gel a cloak and a carpet too? Then when you gave me some money to got my winter hat, I found something in the shop that exactly suited me. It was just lovely, with a long sweeping liimnp avl if v 1 wap*'*-*'• i--< —5 but I jus) had that plume taken off, atid bad a little more velvet put on, and an ostrich tip, and iben it wasn’t half so pretty and stylish as it was before. Well, I save and on mgh in the exchange Io get Scribner’s for the year, because I knew we should on. joy reading it together evenings.” John looked at me as though he had just discovered anew planet, and I brought matters to a c'imax by telling him trag’cailv, that I never, never would tell him how I got the money for his Christinas present. “Well,” said 1, for a final summing up, as 1 saw John had his hand on the door to go, “you wi 1 admit won’t you that women that don’t live on fai ms have something to do ? ” “Yes, oceans! ” “And you will admit that women can be, and usually are, economical ?” “Yes,’’ said he, with a majestic wave of his hand, “I’ll humble my self to the extent of saying, that there’s one little woman at least, that can be saving and patient and eco nomical, aid when you can find another word that means the same thing, she’s that too ! ” “ Oh, John ! ” I cried, “You think I’m stingy.” ♦ He laughed, and said as he closed the door, “What a ridiculous little goose you ate, anyway ; here I am bursting wi'h admiration, and you’re bound to feel abused.’’ —■* I ■■■ One of the gentle sex : sys that the heaven of of the strong •minded is “where buttons grow in the:;' prop er places, and where men cease fi om bothering, and needles are at re-t.” Lubbock still insists that bees are not of a sympathetic nature.

Ia 1 753, be ing at that time resident of the Col lege of New Jerry, he was sent to England to solicijunds fir the insti tution, which wa.•aett iu its infancy, and located at Eliijbct'itown. \ few )cars later it tvasamoved top.in town.

On ihe next uiy George sent for Mr. Davies, and, after conversing with him awhile, give him fifty gui neas for the colleg fover which lie pre sided.

The wo men were ranged ;n pews on one si 10, the men on tho owier (and this is the fashion of all Sweedish churches) and except that the former kept their high-peacked, sugar-loaf cap) on du ring the service, you could see little differences between the two. The service passed ofl n jL' J dy enough. The communion neg in, and a curious sight it was to see these little vaga bonds run along on the lop of the pews, like ro many rats oil a plank, in hot haste to reach the altar; ar; 1 now commence. ij a scene such as [ never before witnessed in a church, and trust I shall ic-ver w itness again. It seems that widjli the last few years a kind of fanaticism has crept in among these Lapps, The Scriptures, instead of “pouring oil upon a bruis ed spirit,” as cipry one is taught to believe who wi| read them aright, only fib them with imaginary terrors; and, f..r different from the creeds of the real Christiat, they seem to think the best atonemijnt they can make for tin'll' sms lies in I outward show. All ,ti r,i,o„, ...i—communion service began, t.wo or pi'tee women up in different ;par;s of the church, and commenced' frantically jumping, howling, shriekifig and clapping then hands. I observed one middled fe male particularly energetic, and who sat down in a ki id of fit afier about five minutes’ exertion. The infec tion soon spreal, and in a few min utes two-thirds of the congregation joined in the crjf, and all order was at an end. Five i>r six would cluster round one individual, hugging, kiss ing, weeping and shrio ing, till I re ally thought t|at some would be smothered.

The sec md died instantly upon his introducing a nee die into the medulla oblongata; and the third he bled to death. 11l the l ist, bo order of death was: Sight, taste, smel', hearing, touch; which established tho fact that the senses iliss,appear in the same order as they do in sleep. The human body is an aggregation of cells. Lite is the segmentation of these cells ; death their disintegra tion. Knelt cell dies for itself. Every moment, cells arc springing into life; every moment cells are dying. Our bodies are composed of these little points. Take them away mid there is nothing lett of us but the connect ing shteds. There are dead cells in your body, and when you are. dead, there will, for some time, continue to be living ones, We shall all, at some time, bo resolved into carbonic acid, w ater and mineral elements.

Sun. Bible Revision. The work of the English and Amer ican companies of scholars now revis ing tho English version of the Bible advances with steadiness and the host of agreement, the questions that arose concerning several rights of |the two companies having been harmoniously settled. The English committee, with throe years’ advantage in starting, have about two-thirds of their work accomplished; tho Americans have about ona-ihird, having finished the Pentateuch and Psalms and tho Gos pels, and book of Acts, and being now at work on the minor phophute and tbo epistles. Tho familiar phrase ology of the Ibble is not changed ex cept to correct translation or insure dearness, and it is said almost the l.oi ui4u*u tlmJ m/| mi;tees is with regard to the use of archaic forms, such “prevent ” in the sen-o of anticipate, of “ let,’’ mean ing to hinder, and of “ which” for who. In the latter case, the Ameri can prayer-hook having, many years ago, given ns “Our Father who art in Heaven,” our churchmen are quite ready to use the more modern form. The expenses of revisers in England are borne by the Oxford press, which has a monopoly of printing the Ti ldes; and in America by voluntary contributions. The Arnericm revis ers give their time and labor, and traveling expenses and printing are all the charges, amounting, thus far, to £3,000 a year, or less than SIOO apiece.
