Id!” Ah! how scornmily
circle of mountains, the whole area of
which is covered with the skeletons- of
birds, beasts and men. Not a vestige of
Vegetable life is to be soon within tlio con
taminated tMmospliere, and even the fish
es die iu the water.
Mr. DaywiU, the distinguished botanist,
accepted tlio theory as a scientific fact,
nnd 111 hts “Botanic Garden” exercised a
little poetic license, making tlio .miasma
penetrate over ten leagues square, and de
stroy alike the eagle iti the air or the lion
tm tno plhlh.
A more careful investigation has found
tho tree to bo perfectly harmless, and that
the destructive power is due alone to fumes
of sulphate and carbonic acid aud gas com
ing from volcanic openings in the region.
There is a famous “Valley of Poison” at
the foot of tho volcano Pupandagini', in
Java, where scientific travelers have found
a great number of dead animal&of various
tho words drop from your full, red lips,
my pink and whits darling. Your life

tho pngo has another-stda, and undcr-
loath tho rose’s volyet petals grow tho

Doubtless tho woirid' looked ns bright
and life-secmofl.iiij'swBeJ to thp wotfriur
you ridicule ns it docs to you. For lior
tho birds Buug and tho flowors bloomed,
nnd beautiful cnstlcs roso in ihq air, grand
er flir Hum mortal bands over bnildod;
and slio dreamed of conquests nnd of lovo,
nn'd watched fromlicr tower for tho knight
that was to como, just as you now dream
and watch nnd hope for.
What if her cheek 1ms lost Its bloom,
tho lovo that burned so brightly on the
inner altar and lent its glow to tho check,
1ms burned out, nnd only the dead; tvliito
imlics roiimin. If her eyes wear a weary
look, 1ms sho not seen tho beautiful oasis
across tho rod sands of tho desort, nnd
longed for the * Blmdes of its lolly palm
trees, and a (iraiigri t of its rippling watorsT.
If tlio Ups ]mve lost, their fullness riiitl
are drawn firmly across tlio teeth, lmvo
not the golden apples that hung above
her pathway, looked just as U-mpliti;
they do to youY—nnd If. she found them
“Dead Sea Apples,” nro the ashes on her
Ups any tho less hitter?
Bo carcfull IIow know you that tho
light words you have spoken may not fall
heavily on a lioart wherein nro treasured
memories of words and looks no where
known, save in “langfsyno?” No doubt
she 1ms loved ns fondly os you—perhaps
with a strength you are not cnpnblo of

falsi-, or ho nmy lmvo died, and as she
watched tho light go out of his eyes, sho

ho may lmvo gone down in tho fight, with

b mining of cannon, for his funeral dirgq;
and days after sho nmy have sought for

so deadening, turning heart into lead, on*
ly this—“klUod!"
And now, little beauty, bcwarol Yon
cannot break tho golden clasps that bind
your future, for your life may ho but a
weary path, and in tho years to comb you

Tho New York Herald knows a few
things. It says:
’“From Tennessee also there conics an
appeal to the general gove rninen t for troops
tn'Wtnm law nnrt order” in that State,
iThis moans that tho Radicals aro in a mi
nority tiiore. This call in similar circum
stances; has been now repeated from so
many different quarters that it begins to
look ns if we wore to have tho usage ill fli-
ture, that, whenever a party has been l>eat-
on in State elections, it will call upon the
scuerU government for troops to reverse
tlio result, when the Constitutipnal major
ity is tlio right way.”

This Committee, disdaining all authori
ty or disposition to dictate to any member
of the General Assembly, what line of con

First: That every Democratic and Con
servative member of the Legislature ap
pear at tho Capitol on- the day appointed
ror tho meeting of tho General Assembly,
and that.all thntcau qualify as members
to do so and take their seats.
Second: That no obstacles or impedi

the reconstruction of the State of Gfcorgin.
‘ Third: ThatavoidiugftllbUtdrnoss,strife

ic members who can qualify, as aforesaid,
remain at‘ their posf«, and on all nlicsttous
and measures which may come before them,
so net and so cast their votds as, in tlieir
judgment, to preserve the rights and Intcr-
csts-of the State and best promote the pros
perity and happiness of the people.
, Fourth: We invite any and all patriotic
and conservative members of the opposite
party to unite with us in saving the State

A ItcfrcNhlnff lMrtur& of Jnpnnosc Life,
The custom of men and women bathing
together nude, shocking os it Seoms^o an
European, appears to be pqrfcctly compat
ible with Japancso ideas of modesty and
P ropriety; and a Japancso lady of un-
onntcdVirtue, finds nothing wrong In the
practice. I shall Ion" remember an inci
dent which convinced mo of tho truth of
this statement. During my stay at ono of
tho mines oh Ycsso, wncro thoro is a hot
spring, I went one evenin" with : oiio of tho
officers of our Ataff to take a-bath. The
small spring house lmd an outer room for
servants nnd miners, .aud au iuncr com-
“lartmcnt for the officers and tlieir faniilicsr
rut this division was only above tlio water,
which mu from the spring into a box about
three foot deep and eight feet long. As wo
entered the inner compartment, wo found
tlio wife of tlio chief officer bathing with
her children. Before I had time to with*
draw tho lady camo out, and politely of
fering us tho bath, remarked, that as there
would not bo room for u]l of us, b]io would
go With the cliildtou to tlio other compart-
incut. The whole thing was done so grace
fully and without tho slightest embarrass
ment on her part, that 1 began-to wonder
from what, direction would como tho next
shock to preconceived ideas of propriety.
Honi soil qui mat y pense is perhaps asap
plicable in a Japanese public bath as in the
galleries of sculpture of tho Vatican.

The King,of Prussia recently visited
needle manufactory in bis kingdom, in or
der to boo what mnehiimry, combined
with the human hand, could produce.—
ITc was shown a number gf supcrflno nee
dles, thousands of which, together, did
not weigh an ounco, and marvelled how
such minutg objects could be pierced with
(ID e.ye. But he was to see that in this
respect even something still finer nnd
more perfect could bo created. Tlm borer
—that is, (lio workman whoso business it
is to liore the eyes in tlieso noodles—asked
for a hair of tlio monarch’s head. It was
readily given, and'with a smile, lio placed
it at ouco under the horing-ninelilim, made
a liolo in it with a thread, nnd thou hand
ed tlio singular needle to the astonished
king.
r l he second curious ncedlo is in the pos
session Bf Queen Victoria. It was innde
nt the celebrated needle manufactory at
ltedilitch, and represents lira column of
Trajan In miiriature. Tills well-known
Roiiiau column is ndornud with numerous
scenes in sculpture, which immortalize
Trajan’s heroic notions in war. Oil this
diminutive needle, scenes, in. tho life of
Queen Victoria sro represented in relief,
hut so finely cut nnd so small, that it re
quires a magnifying gloss to see them.—
Tlio Victoria needle can,-moreover, bo
oiiencdiit contains n number of tmcdles
of smaller size, which are equally adoruud
with scenes In relief.' __ • *°
