THE OLD COUPLE.
They sat in the sun together.
Till the day was almost done.
And then, at its closa, an angel
Stepped over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together.
He touched their eyelids with balm.
And their lest breath floated upward
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like A bridel pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road
That leads to the Beautiful City,
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, i» that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth back.
And the flowers of a vanished spring-time
Shall bloom in the spirit's track.
One draught of the bring waters
Shall restore his manhood's prime.
And eternal years shall measure
The lore that outlives time.
But the shapes they left behind them—
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made sacred to us by the kisses
'The angel imprinted there —
Well hide away in the meadow.
When the sun is low in the west,
Where the moonbeams cannot find tk*ni.
Nor the wind disturb their rest.
But we’ll let no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date urine
O ar th« >»« who are old no longer,
In their Father's bouse in the skies.
THE LITTLE LADY,
I was stopping at the hotel Windsor,
at Hue de ltivoli, Paris.
One morning I was smoking in the
colonnade, when a tall, elegantly dressed
geutluman asked (Emission to light his
cigar by mine. I saw at once that be
was a Frenchman, although his “Eng
lish" was nearly perfect.
“Have you heard the news ?” lie in
quired.
“No.”
“Is it possible? Why, all Paris is
alive with it at this moment.”
“What has happened 1”
“The C‘ouLitc|k» (ie Murvillr, tin- fairest
of the fair, was found murdered in Iter
lied last night, nor bureau broken open,
and teu thousand Irani* missing from it.
It was terrrbie! Xbo brute who did the
dins) effected his entrance through the
window of her ctuuuber, afar which, un
fortunately, was a tall tree planted by
the distinguished grandfather of the
countess year* ago. Little did he imag
ine what a turn bio use would be inode of
it.”
* ’This is bad news. How any man
Oouid harm a woman thus in cold blood
ie more than I can imagine. ”
“Ah, monsieur, if you had ever seen
the countess you would wouder btill more.
Hue was beautiful, beautiful os an angel,"
ho added, stroking hij whiskers with au
uuuiistakablf air of vanity ; “I knew her
well.”
* ‘ Indeed. ”
“O yes. There are in Psrisfew popular
Women unknown to me.”
His manner now was decidedly con
ceited, and I felt disgusted. My cold
ness evidently repelled him, for he soon
left me.
Afterwards I heard from others
accot nts of the late tragedy.
Among the details of the affair was
one -which peculiarly impressed me, and
which ray first informant had not spoken
of, an oversight which surprised me, as
the occurrence he had not mentioned
was of that kind which would be moat
apt to strike the fanoy.
Upon the throat of the oouutess the
murderer, in throttling her, had lefts
mark from a ring be wore, the impres
sion of a chariot wheel with a star in the
centre.
“This,” said my latest informant, “may
lead to the discovery of the murderer.
Jeau Mosqueau is already visiting the
jewellers’ shops to fiud out from which
and by whom a ring with a chariot-wheel
device was purchased.”
“Who is Juan Mosqueau 1”
“What, Mosqueau, our famous detec
tive ? Although his courage is well
ftoown, you would not, to look at his
fair, delicate face and form, believe that
he could fight a gnat !”
A week later I was aboard the steamer
bound from Calais to Dover.
Among the passengers I beheld one
whose face looked familiar to me. I was
not long in recognizing this person as the
same I bad seen in front of the hotel
Windsor, and who had first informed me
of the murder of the countess.
He was certainly a very handsome
mau, although his conceited air was a
blot upon his good looks.
He moved languidly hither and thither,
turning his brown eyes admiringly upon
the pretty lady passengers, while strok
ing his whiskers with one white hand,
upon the middle finger of which was a
superb diamond ring.
I am rather of a suspicious nature,
which, combined with a lively imagina
tion, had often led me into singularerrors.
Now, a strange impulse moved me to
advance and hold out my hand to the
man whom I had involuntarily disliked
from the first in order that I might have
a chance to glance at his ring. Some
how the idea possessed me that I should
discover a chariot-wheel device upon the
glittering bauble.
®!tc Mlrou|)ic Mi'dili) Jouiinal.
VOL V.
He stranger did not at first recognize
me. He soon did, however, and frankly !
extended his loft hand, which was not
the one containing the ring.
My brain fairly reeled ; the man’s be
havior was aconfirmation of my suspicions.
“The other hand, if you please,” I
said , in a low, stern voice.
“Monsieur will please excuse me ; my
other arm is lame with the rheumatism."
He beheld me glaneo towards the half
hidden ring, aud I was sure I saw him
start and turn pale, at the same time look
ing much surprised. He, however,
opened his right hand, as if perfectly
willing for me to shake it if I chose to.
Then I hud a good look at the ring,
and felt ashamed of my suspicions. The
device was a common heart, which cer
tainly bore no resemblance to a chariot
wheel.
After a general conversation to recover
uiy self-possession, I turned away, resolv
ed in the future to have a better opiuiou
of my fellow-creatures.
The stranger’s good looks seemed to
attract the attention of a good many of
the ladies. One especially, a modest
looking little thing attired iu black,
kept directing furtive glances at the
handsome passenger. Finally she gilded
so close to him that in turning he brush
ed against her.
Au apology, smilingly received by the
little lady, a remark about the weather
on the part of the gentleman, aud the
two were soom conversing with anima
tion. Meanwhile the blushing cheek and
bright eyes of tfie fair one seemed to be
token that she was well pleased with her
companion, wtoae uir was more con
ceited than evii.
“J am afraid we shall have a storm,”
she remarked pointing toward a dark
cloud upon which the captain of the boat
j was gazing anxiously,
i “We may, but do not be alarmed,
mndame.”
1 With an air of nonchalance he pulled a
I ivkJ cigar-cuse from bis pocket and asked
| iiis companion if she objected to a smoke.
! Thou he started, and quickly returning
I the red one to hit* pocket pulled forth au
! other of a blue eolor.
I “How mauy cigars do yon smoke a
! day?” inquired the lady, evidently ntnijs-
J ed at the sight of two oases,
i The other colored, and it struck me
| that his voice slightly faltered and his
hand trembled us he made some luugh
ing reply. '*
Siam the storm came pouncing down
upon us. We were midway in the chan
nel, so that we caught the full force of
the seu uud gale. Hotli were terrific.
The sea swept the boat, which lay so
Jar over that her machinery was soon
damaged so that it would not work. The
wind, screaming like a demon, threw her
over still farther.
Suddenly ho observed the sailors en
deavoring to loosen a long-bout on the
davits at the stern. Meanwhile there
was an ominous grinding, smashing noise
under the counter. The truth could not
be concealed ; we were sinking.
The iwill's screamed ; the handsome
passenger lost his self-possession, and
ran hither aud thither.
The cool behavior of the little lady ill
black contrasted strangly with the agitat
ed demeamor of those around her.
There she stood calm and immovable,
her bright steel-blue eyes fixed upon the
handsome stranger, of whom she did not
lose sight for a moment.
“Keep quiet ladies and gentlemen !”
sang out the captain ; “keep quiet, and
don’t crowd around the I>oat so ! There
will be room iu it for you all ; and, be.
aides there is a schooner coming to our
assistance,” pointing to a vessel blowing
towards us before the wind.
There was, however, a panic among
those addressed. The moment the boat
was lowered, into it they all bundled,
am ong them the handsome passenger.
A huge sea coming along, roaring like
thunder, parted the tackles, tearing the
boat from the 6teamer before the lady iu
black or I could enter it. The handsome
passenger, loosing his balance, fell over
the gun-wale, and beiug unable to swim
wildly threw up his arms.
I must acknowledgd that I was so en
grossed with the perilous situation of
my fair companion and myself, now the
only two left aboard the steamer, that I
paid little attention to the drowning
man.
The steamer was in fact going down
fast, was already nearly engulfed iu the
stormy waves, her heated and half-sub
merged boilers hissing as the steam came
gushing out like the spout of a whale.
I was advancing to throw an arm
around the little lady, fearing to see her
washed away, when quietly motioning
me back with one hand, she seized a coil
of rope and threw the end to the hand
some passenger. He caught it when
turning to me, the lady requested me to
help haul the man aboard. I complied,
marveling at the love and devotion thus
shown by a woman to an acquaintance of
an hour.
His power over the female sex must
be great, I thought. He is conceited
but not without reason, r*
The idea flashed clearly across my
mind in spite of my danger. The schoon
er, however, was very near and I had
every reason to believe that we should be
picked up.
I was right. We were all taken aboard
the schooner, the handsome passenger
among the rest. Then the lady in black |
pulled forth a revolver, pointing it at the I
head of him whom she had rescured.
"Out with that red cigar-caso !” she |
said sternly. “1 would like tj sec what 1
monsieur carries in it.”
“Why, why,” stammered the stranger;
“what is "
Before he could say another word, the
little Amizon thrust her disengaged hand
in his pocket, pulled forth the red cigar
ease, aud opening it, a ring dropped to
the deak.
The ring she picked up, and holding
it up before us all exclaimed—
“l have fqaud.it at last. The jeweller
assured mo it was the only one of the
device iu Paris, a chariot-wheel ! This
person is the murderer of Countess de
Mamil* !" .•7” *' - -
The handsome passenger stood as if
frozen to the deck, making no resistance
as the lady in block slipped a pair of
handcuffs over his wrists.
“By what right,” he then stammered,
“do you ”
He paused as the other threw off her
dress and false hair, revealing the person
of a slender man, with delicate, girlish
features.
“1 am Jean Mosqueau, the detective!”
he quietly remarked, “and I robbed the
sea of this man that, the scaffold might
not be cheated. ”
There iB little more to mid. The main
proof having been obtained, other proofs
on the prisoner’s trial were brought forth,
showing him guilty beyond doubt.
Long before his execution his name
was ascertained to be Louis Rosseeuean,
a noted adventurer aud gambler, who,
however, by cool effrontery and a win
ning address, backed by his good looks,
had been enabled to move among the
first circles of Parisian society.
An Aquatic Velocipede.
On Saturday afternoon last a number
of peoplo assembled on the wharf below
the Kensington Water Works to witness
the trial of what the inventor calls an
acquatic velocipede. The suspension
power of the machine is the three cigar
shaped zinc floats, fifty-four inches in.
length by about fourteen inches in dia
meter. Two of these floats are placed
opposite of each other, about six feet
apart, stiffened ftnd bifid iu position by
iron ri>ds rawing to a chair sent, placed
directly oV«f tig: centre. The tbiftl flekt
is placed iu tluAroar and midway between
the two others. This latter float is like
wise secured to the chair by rods, but in
such a way that it acts as a rudder, the
rider working it by means of ropes run
ning to his seat. The wheel which is of
iron, aud weighs forty pounds, is placed
directly in front of the chair. The spokes,
twelve in number, fifteen inches long,
with floats at their outer extremities six
inches square. The wheel is propelled
by the feet, as iu a velocipede. When
the rider was seated iu the elmir the
flouts were about half submerged and
the sent of the chair about three feet
above the water. The weight of the
entire apparatus is 100 pounds. Direct
ly after high water the velocipede was
brought around into the river dock, and
after performing several revolutions
such as turning, backing, rocking, it was
started straight acrass the river to a
Stake boat anchored lalf a mile distant.
This boat was rounded, and the machine
brought back to the doer., a distance of a
mile, in about ten minutes. Iu the
home stretch it encountered the waves of
the steamboat John A. Warner, but it
rode them out safely, aud without dim
inishing its speed in the least.—Phila
delphia Ledger.
Inploencr or Food.—An excellent
hint is given iu the following item : Dr.
Hall relates the ease of a man who w.*
cured of his billiousuess by goiug with
out his supper and drinking freely of
lemonade. The next morning his patient
arose with a wonderful sense of rest and
refreshment, and feeling as though the
blood had been literally washed, cleansed
and cooled by the lemonade and fast.
His theory is that food can be used as a
remedy for many diseases successfully.
As an example, he cures spitting blood
by the use of salt ; epilepsy, by water
melons ; kidney affections, by celery;
poison, by olive or swei t oil ; erysipelas,
by pounded cranberries applied to the
part affected ; hydrophobia, by onions,
etc. 8o the way to keep in good health
is really to know what to eat aud to
know what medicines to take.
An Interesting Discovery. —Some
workmen, while engaged in laying water
pipes in Civadale, Italy, recently en
countered a large flat stone. On raising
this a bed of mason work was revealed,
iu which was placed a stone sarcophagus
covered with a marble lid. Withiu the
receptacle were the remains of a human
skeleton, some portions of which were
yet perfect. Beside the body lay a sword,
lance, helmet, spears, a gold clasp and
ring, apeiceof very beautiful gold tissue,
and a flask of water which was still re
markably clean. The removal of clay
from the bottom of the grave brought
out the letters Oisvl—from which arch
aeologists have decided that the remains
are those of Gisulf, Juke of the Lombard
marches of Friuli, who fell in battle in
611, while repelling an invasion of the
Avars.
THOMSON, GA. OCTOBER 13,1875.
When Men arfe at tbe/ir Best.
Dr. Beard states that from, an analysis
of the lives of a representative
men iu all the the jjreat brashes of hu
man effort, he mad* the discovety that
the golden decade yras detWcen 30and 40,
the silver 40 and s#, the brazen between
20 and 30, and the Iron between 50 and
.60. The superiority of youth and mid
dle liffl over old sgf in original work ap
pears all the greaiir, when we consider
the fact that all thfe positions of honor
aud profit ’aud pibstige—professorships
and public station^,— are in the hands of
the old, Reputation, lixe motley aud
position, is mainly.coufineJ to the old.
Men are’ not widely known until long
alter thejr have dri|fe the WoA that gives
them User fame. DorhWt* of great men
are ad lltmion f st»**tet7wij lies. They
are takeu when hiivu become famous,
which, on the average, is at leasttweuty
five yearn after they did tile work .which
gave them their fame. Original work
requires enthusiasm. If all the original
W<rrk done by men undei .forty-five wiVe
annihilated, they would lie reduced h,
barbarism. Men are nS their best at l
that time when enthusiasm and experi
ence are most evenly balanced ; this pe
riod on the average is from thirty-eight
to forty. After this time the law is that
experience increases hut enthusiasm de
clines. In the life of aanost every old
man there comes a point, sooner or Inter,
when experience ceases to have au edu
cating power.
U -J
Cost op Sot. om on’a Temple. Ac
cording to the computation of Vallalpau
dus, the value of tin' talents of gold, sil
ver and brass used in the ooustruetion of
the Temple amounted to $34,399,107,500.
The jewels arc reckoned to have exceed
ed this amount. The vessels of gold,
consecrated to tire uso of the Temple,
are reckoned by Josephus at 140,000 tal
ents, which, according to Chapel's re
duction, are equal to $2,726,181,000.
The vessels of silver are computed nts2,-
416,720,000. The silver vestments at
$10,000,000, and lliu other musical in
struments at $200,000.
To these expenses must he added
those .of ether materials-!-the timber and
stone, and of the labor employed upon
them, divided thus ; There were ten
thousand men at Lebanon hewing tim
ber. There were tcjV thousand beavers
of burden. There Write twenty ’thousand
hewefv 'of Htonfe, ftift ''Ttotswi thimsand
eight hundred overseers, all of whom
wore employed for seven years, aud upon
whom, besides their wages, aud diet,
Solomon bestowed about $409,386,000 ;
and the costly Stone aud timber, in the
rough, are set down to he worth about
one-third that of the gold, silver and
brass, or $12,726,480,000. This makes
the grand total of the cost, of this mag
nificent structure the sum 'of $87,212,-
152,000. This is sufficient to pay the
estimated indebtedness of the whole world
four times over. ®
What is the Sun ?—Prof. Rudalpli,
in a lengthy paper on the sun says : A
molten or white hot mnEB, 856,000 miles
iu diameter equaling in bulk 1,360,000
worlds like our own, haviug a surround
ing ocean of gas on fire 50,000 miles deep,
tongues of ttaine darting upward more
than 50,000 miles, volcanic forces that
hurl into the solar atmosphere luminous
matter to the .height of 160,000 miles ;
drawing to itself all the worlds belonging
to our family of planets, and holding
them all in their proper places ; attract
ing with such superior force the millions
of solid and stray masses that are wan
dering in the fathomless abyss that they
rush helplessly toward him, and fall into
his fiery embrace. And thus he contiq.
ues his sublime and resistless march
through his mighiy orbit, having a period
of more than 18,000,000 of years.
Princely Salaries.—Probably so me
of om- ambitions American citizens, wTo
either hold or aspire, and make
up their modest official oompansations
by being parties to jobs and ring steal
ings, have in their mimTs eye the salaries
of the different monarchs of Europe
when they are thus engaged. They
doubtless tliiuk their services are worth
as much as that of some of the useless
monarchs. The salaries whiqh they
compare with, and thus breed dissatis
faction within themselves, are given as
follows by a German satistioian : Alex
ander 11., $9,152,000, or $25,000 a day ;
Abdul Azir, $9,000,000, or SIB,OOO a day;
Francis Joseph, $4,000,000, or $10,050 a
day ; Frederick William If., $3,000,000,
or $8,210 a day ; Victor Emanuel, $2,-
400,000, or $6,840 a day ; Victoria, $2,-
200,000, or $0,270 a day ; Leopold, SOOO
-or $1,640 a day. Iu addition to this
salary each of these individuals is furn
