POETRY.
“THE PI REST PE ARL.”
Beside the Church door, a weary and lone
A blind woman sat on the cold-door stone ,
The wind was bitter, the snow fell fast,
And a mocking voice in the fitful blast
Seemed ever to echo her moaning cry.
As she begged for alms of the passers by;
“Have pity on me, have pity I pray,
My back is bent and my head is gray .”
The bells were ringing the hour of prayer'
And ma.iy good people Were gathering
there.
But, covered with furs and mantles warm.
They hurried past through the wintry storm
Some were bopieg their souls to save,
Ai.d some were thinking of death and tbc
grave. » > > s
And alas ! they had no time to heed
The poor soul asking lor charity’s meed.
And some were blooming with beauty's
grace,
But, closely.muffled in veils of laco.
They saw not the sorrow nor beard the
moan,
Os her who sat on the cold door stoae.
At last came one of a noble name,
By the city counted the wealthiest dame,
And the pearls that o’er her neck were
strung, * * “ i
She proudly there to the beggar flung.
Then followed r maiden, young and fair,
Adorned with clusters of golden hair:
But her dress was thin, and scanty, and
worn,
Not even the beggar’s seemed more forlorn.
With a tearful look, and pityiog sigh.
She whispered soft, “no jewels have I v
But i give you my prayers, good friend,”
said she,
“And surely I know God listens to me.”
On her poor weak hand, so shrunken and
small, »

Then kissed it, and said to the weeping girb
“it is you that have given the purest pearl,”
A Remarkable Invention.
It is stated that a German glass-maker
has lately made a icmarkable discovery,—
He has invented a telescope, or magnifying
glass, by means of which the most intricate
nerves and vessels inside of the body may
be seen from the outside. In fact, the
whole arrangement and action of the inte
rior organs may, by means of this glass, be
distinguished.
The discovery will probably be of im
mense benefit to mankind, as by means of it
the physician will be able to determine
with unvarying accuracy the nature of any
particular disease, aud the proper manner
for treating the iwne.
The name ot the inventor, who wilt pro
bably realize a fortune from this discovery
is Gotlieb Junta. He is very poor, but a
well-read and highly intelligent man. He
hat rn aged mother, an invalid wife, six
children, and a blind lister. all dependent
upon him for support. His mother was
well acquainted with the poet Goethe, and
it was probably her many anecdotes of this
illustrious person which first inspired her
son with a desire to do something to win
the respect aud esteem cf his fellow-men.
The glass he has made will probably
place him among the first rank of inventors
and win for him the esteem of whule na
tions.
By means of this invention hs has alrea
dy nearly cured his wife. Six months ago,
a well known doctor said she could not live
and pronounced bei disease to be an affac*
tion of the heart.
Juntz, however, has now proven to him
with the aid of the wonderful microscope
that be was entirely mistaken; the stomach
alone being the part affected.
V' e are eagerly looking for further in*
format'on regarding Juntz and his wonder
ful glass. —> x
Things Lost Fobkveu.—The following
words from the pen gs Lydia H. Sigourney,
ore full of instructive meaning:
“Lost wealth may he restored by indus
try; the wrecK ol health regained by tem
perance; forgotten knowledge restored by
study: alienated friendship smoothed into
forn-i Uulness; even forfeited reputation
won by patience and virtue; bOt whoever
looked upon his vanished hours, recalled
his slighted years, stamped them with wis
dom, or effaced from Heaven’s record the
fearful blot of wasted time. The toot-print
on the sand is washed out by the ocean
wave; ami easier might we, when years are
lied, find that footrpriut than recall lost
hours. ”
Mark Twain describes Syrian females as
so sinfully ugly that they ‘cannot smile ask
ter 12 o'clock Saturday night without
breaking the Sabbath-’
Tonrhins liic'den'.
We recently heard a remarkable and
touching story of a little boy, of a
gentleman in an adjoining county. His
age is twelve or thirteen. He is an inter
esting, promising lad. One day during the
past winter, he fail' and to rise in the morn
ing as early ss usual- At length his fatb,
er went into the rbom where he lay and
asked him why he did not get np. He said
D sseraed dark yet, and h* was waiting for
daylight.
His father retired, but tj.ejuoy did not
make bis appearanoe for gome time
“My son, why don’t you get up?”
He replied:
“Fat her is it daylight?”
“Yes, long ago.”
i “Then, father,” said the littlo fellow, “I
am blind.’’
And so it was. his sight was gone.
In a short time his father • took him to
Nashville to get the benefit of the medical
profession there, but the physician coold do
nothing for hint, and happily made no ex
periments on bts eyes. Borne lad es in a
family of his acquaintance sought to cheer
him in his affliction, and one night proposed
to take him to the opera, that he might j
hear the music and singing. He went and i
was delighted.
In the course of the performance, all at i
once he leaped up and threw his arms |
around his father's neck, and screamed with !
ecstacy:|
“Oh. father! I can sec!—l can see.”
His sight had instantly returned, and
since then be has retained his full vigor,
except that under excitement there issome«
times a transient dimness of vision.
The case is one of a remarkable and sin
gular cbarac er.— T- nnasse Paper.
Absurdity yf Drinking.
It has become a sort of popular—almost
national —faith that it is not possible to be
truly happy unless you drink. Among cer
tain class-s—aud they are by no means ex
clu.-jvoly the lowest —drink is the beginning
vl i«a> f a w .v, j ~«,.,c t ip
liqnor Is held lo be fynonymoiis ni‘h en
joyment, and the ddarer the liquor the
more it is prized and coveted As every
man who is not a downright drunkard is
w 11 aware that the pleasure of drinking
are, beyond a certain point, a mockery, a
delusion and a snnfe. I pnt it to any ono
who has stood half the night at a bar, or
sat half the night in a club-room, drinking’
smoking, and bandying reckless talk, if the
enjoyment of such an evening has been any
thing like that of a few quiet hours spent
at home with a book |or newspaper T The
evil influence of tavern pleasure on the
health is too obvious to be denied by any
one, and the illusory nature of tha pleas
ures themselves would be undeniable also,
if the persons who indulge in them did not
deceive themselves, and put the truth out
of sight.
No one ever brought any good out of a
drinking bout yet. It is ash rt, feverisl
spasm of animal enjoymeuf, which leaves
nothing behind but moroseness, regret, bad
temper, self»reproach and headache. I
should like to ask you, sir, if yotf say your
prayers when you come home in that state?
No, you don’t. You are ashamed to say
th:m. You postpone them until yon have
parged yourself, your mind and your lips
by more sober and rational behaviour, —
Next night when you pass the hours quietly
with c book or a friend, yoM feel that you
have bad real enjoyment, and that the time
has passed pleasantly, that you have learn
ed semething, and that yon have not injur
ed your health. You arc not-ashamed to
say your prayers, and you get up next
morning with a clear hea<l, a good appe
tite, and an increased facility for work and
enjoyment of life.—All the Ye,.r Round.
Beautifully Expressed.
The Memphis Avalanche, of a late date,
thus closes an editorial upon the character,
intelligence, courage and patriotism of the
soldie s who composed the Southern army:
“Surely no army ever had in it such col*
diers as were those of our Southern army.
The pulpit sent its ministers, great and
good. The bar sent its lawyers in' troops.
The press sent out its editors, publishers
and printers. The coliege sent out its pro
fessors and students by the hundreds. The
morals the intelligence, the oournge, the
purity of the .Southern .oldier, has hardly
been equaled in he annals o war.^
No power can ever compel the Southern
people to forg’t their virtues or ig
nore their patriotism. The b el of the
despot can never ush out the feeliug of
devotion to the memory of our glorious
dead. The military satrap may prevent
our following the exhumed dead to th ir
last resting place, but we caunot be pre
vented from embalming thorn in our mem*
y, and enshrining them in our hearts
As long as earth b ars a flower, or the sea
rolls a wave, so long will heart aud memo
iy cling to those who fell in the lost caune.
The name of the humblest private shall
live in amaranthine beauty, when prouder
E»ate3 shall have goat down so infamy .’
South German Marriage
Customs.
ft fa a pleasant custom among
these fioabian people to bring- tit*

for buttons,’ *a bridal favor In his
buttou-hole. lie bmlemaids fol -
low, and in white, with gay rib
bons and wreaths of flowers, with
jan attendant friend, also wearing
bridal favors. Then come the
| fathers and mothers, with relatives
and friends ; the bells on the old
■ church meanwhile sending out a. I
.merry welcome to peasant brides, i
Jas well as brides of higher degree.
| On entering the church, the maiden
is led by her lover to a pew, where
she sits attended by her bridemaids

put? ovor his black r'be a white

i tar, on which is laid a Bible in a
Leather case. The bridegroom
leavesliis seat lor the pew where
the maiden sits, and leads her to
tie altar, where tho service is
finished, which makes them hus
band and wife. On leaving the al*
tar. the husband receives from the
pas or the Bible, tfith an injunction
to read and be governed by its
teachings dilligently and with the
fear of God. He then deposits in
the reciving plate a bit of money,
and the bridal party follow, each
giving as tney pluaio to the fund
for purchasing other Bibles for oth

Every bridegroom, trom tho3G who

Btow. These’ they give to some
one of the bridal party to take to
the bride’s new home. One morn-
ing I heard a merry chattering in
tho street, and looking out of my
window saw a peasant's bridal pro
cession going with the bridal gif
to the new home. Two women
carried on their heads each anew

of linen—both bed and table lin«n.
Ono w van, quite tasty in her

Praying" for a Husband.
A correspondent of the Rochelle,
It.. Register locates the following
mar that p*lace. Though the story
s considerably older than the cor*
•espondeut, it is worth reading :
'A young lady heard that if she
would go out aud pray three suc
cessive nights, the Lord would tell
her who she would marry. Now it
happened that her father had a
young man in his employ who had
20 si 1 übl wi and good h mhr
about hint. Oncev. ning he was
out on cii apple tree af er fruit
when ho hear i gome ono praying
like thi- : ‘O, Lord who will J
nuriy ?’ The -dea po; ped into
Do le’s (that being'the young man’s
lame) mind that he would have a
ittle sport at her expense. So ho
ipoke it. a cli ngod voice, and said,
"•oyle/ ‘No, Lord not Doyle,” cried
lie astonished young lady, ‘Yes,
Doyle, or no oue,’ again *o nded
'rorn the tree top in a sober hollow
?oioe- She arose and ea ered tho
louse, resolved to try again the
lext evening. O course Doyle did
not wish to spoil the fun and so the
next evening round him seated in
the tree top. He did not have long
to wait before the young husband
seeker came and commenced pray
ing in the same way that she did
the previous evening and received
the same ailswer. tie next even
ing found her dnder the tree plead
ing to know the! future husband’s
name, and again she iiedrd the an<
swer. 'Doyle or no' ode.’ She
aroso feeling satisfied that she must
marry Doyle, The next morning
she met him and asked him why he
did not dres3 up and put on bet
ter clothes. He said he was not
; able ‘Well,’ said she, ‘father is rich
j mid he will iot you hare money.—.
/He took that for a pretty good
hint and bought anew suit of
clothes. 1n a short time offered
his heart and hand and was accept
ed. lifter their marriage he told
her how her prayers were answer-,

this story should think of praying

Mark Twain's Turkish Lunch. —l never
want anotlu-r orfe. Thee oking apparatus
was til the little lunch-room near the ba
z var, and it was all open to the street.—
The c >ok was dirty and so was the table,
and it had no cloth on it. The fellow took
a mass of sausage meat and coated It round
a wire and laid it da a charcoal fire to
cook. When it was done he aid it aside,
and a dog walked sadly in and nippea it.
He smelt it first, and probably recognized
the remains ot a friend. The cook took it
away from him and laid if before us.—
Brown said, “I pass.” He plays euchre
sometimes, and we all passed iir turn. Then
the cook baked a broad, fist, wheaten cake,
greased it wall with the sausage, and start
ed to bring it to us. It dropped in the
dirt, and he picked it up and polished it on
the seat of. hts breeches, aid laid it before
us. Brown said. “1 puss.” Wo all pass
ed, and called anew deal. He put somef
eggs iu a frying-pan, and pensively stood
prying slabs of meat from between his
teeth with a fork. Then ho u=ed the fork
to turu the eggs with, and brought them
along. Brovyn said, “7 pass.” All follow
ed suit- Wo did net know what to do, so
we ordered ano w ration of sausage. The
cook got out his wire, apportioned a pro
per amount of sausage meat, spit in his
hands, aa.l fell to work. This time, with
one accord, we all passed out. We paid
and left. That is all I learned about 1 urk
i.-b lunches. A Turki.-h lunch is good, no
doubt, but it has its weak pcints.—Alta
Calitornian.
The Be t Time to Fbet.—Two garden
ers had their crops of peas killed by fha
frost, one of whom had fretted greatly and
■grumbl-d at his loss. Visiting his neigh*
bor some time after, he was astouishod to
see another fine crop growing, and inquired
Bow it could be.— <- Tbese are what I sowed
while you were fretting,” was the reply—
“ Why, don’t jon never fret?” “Yes: but
I put it off tillj have repaired the mis
chief.”—“Why, then there’s no need to fret
at all.”—“True, that's ths reason I put it
off.”
'A lady anived is Washington, uinl th*
and me of the Capitol, and inquired I
“Is that tbe gas work* ?”
“Yes,” said » bystander, “for ths nation.”
I
