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, » | Tho blind Worn,.,, IVI* •» 10« r Orop mil. 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.

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 er thousands who may come after. Every bridegroom, trom tho3G who wear kingly crowns to the humble peasant, receives a Bible at the al tar when lie plights his troth to his wedded wife.

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-, ed. f' any of the fa r readers of this story should think of praying for a husband do not go under a tree, or if you do be sure and ex*’ amine it closely and sea if theie is any one to answer in it. 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
