MY VANQUISHED PAST. I will write on the tomb of my vanquished past. This is the “nevermore Here hes the sunshine too bright to lat, This was the golden shore. This was the land of the poet's so&g. This was the artist's dream : Here were the flowers love dwelt among, Here was life’s fairest gleam. This was a heaven come down below, And in it was left God's smile ; Yet now must the green grass over it grow, It lived 6uch a little while— Such a little while, like an island bright. That has risen far out at sea. Which oil some morrow we find the night Has changed to a memory. A memory mine, one that sadly thrills ; And ofttimes I wearily pray That it may again, it it be God's will, Come back to my life some day. But it cannot come. Oh, my dead, dead past! You are silent forever and still; But the sunset glories that fade so fast Nhall arise o’er the top of the hill. And I'll touch the stone with a gentle, hand, And train o'er it flowers fair : For I think, when I wake in that other I laud, Perhaps you will meet me there. My Two Pearls, BY ZULU. O. H. DOEK. As I stood near one of the great bronze doors, a lady, veiled, aud gathering the fold* of her mantle closely about her throat, passed me with a light step. The figure was exquisitely graceful, and I watched her with a young man’s idle cu riosity as she knelt at her prayers, won dering if her face was worthy of her form. As she rose, a fresh breeze from an opening door blew back her veil, and I caught a passing glimpse of lior fea tures. All the blood in my veins rushed mad ly to my heart. Surely it was the face of my dreams—the faeo of my friend’s Marguerite ! Yet it seemed a younger face ; perhaps less Mudonua-like than Urn picture, haloed by cloud-like drape ry. You see I had not forgotten the slightest peculiarity of the photograph. I could have sworn to the very pattern of the lace. Before I recovered my senses she had disappeared. For three (lays I haunted the Mnde leue in vain. On the fourth I caught a glimpse of her again, stooping to drop n coin in the blind of a pall'd child. But it was a fete day, and the crowd swayed in between us. After that i saw her no more. I went on to Switzerland, lingering for a mouth among its mountain passes; made a short run info ltniy aud came hack. I was loitering along Los Champs Elysees one evening in a fit of home sickness, half inclined to take the next steamer for Havre, and so end this rov ing life, when I became aware of being watched: —watched by a dark figure un der the shadow of the opposite tree. Jibe led sun light fell full and strong .acre i wits standing, hut it was twilight all about me. I changed my position hurriedly and hastened on.. But in a moment I heard quick foot steps behind me then a run and a shout. Au arm feii across my shoulder, a hand clasped mine, and a well-remembered Vu.cc oned : it is you ! I have found you 1 Ah, wuu aim ! mou ami 1 But it waa the paari, even as 1 told you so in that wild (Jammer. Aud Hippolyte L’Estrange pointed to the scarf pin I wore that day. But you are grown older, monsieur, you are cnaiiged ; and I was not thinking of you at that moment. But the great pearl shimmered iu the sunlight, aud it drew mv eyes to tile face above it. Said I, Not that it was charmed. It is needless to speuk of the happi ness of this reunion, all the greater for the mood iu which it found me. I shall not iose sight of you again, said M. L’Estrange. You will go horn* with mo to-morrow to Strasbourg, Mar guerite—you remember—and he smiled more brightly than before—Marguerite will be giad to know my friend. Very often have I talked of our days together. Marguerite ! Shall I confess that for one moment I shrank as from a coming pain, a hidden danger ? Then every in stinct in my manhood rose in quick re bellion. My friend’s wife was vestal to me even in thought; sacred as if shrined and guarded by inapproachable distances. I would go with him. Why had he not written to me ? Sim ply because he had lost my address— ouly this and uotiiiug more. it would take too long to tell our de lightful journey, and I pass on rapidly to the hour when the towers of Stras bourg rose before us, and the lofty spire of her cathedral pierced the clouds. My frieud’s chateau was inside the waits of the city, on rising ground. See, he said, with a sweep of his hand, as the carriage rolled slowly along, and this is not grand, so fresh, as your great New World ; yet it is a fair picture. He might well say so. The seven-ga tea city lay at our feet; the Blue P.liine ■wound along between storied banks ; the branching 111 glided tiirongh the town, picturesqe with its many bridges; in ih* far distance rose the Vosges inoun- (The Jflrgtip jtlcclsln Jountal VOL. V. tains and the Black Forest of Germany. And now we’ were at the chattean, a stately pile, ivy-clad seemingly with an ■ eternal youth. Marguerite, this is the frieud of whom yon have so often heard me speuk—Ed ward Rirop, said L’Estrange, as I enter ed the saloon ail hour after, and a fair, } sweet, womanly face, the face ol the ; Mudeltdne, looked up from the bit of ; embroidery over which it was bending. Is she like the picture—my Margue rite ? asked my host ; but before I could reply he went on : By that name you first knew her now. We are to live in Arcadia for a whole month ; and as is fitting, we are to be to each other Mar gueri e aud Edward aud Hippolyte. ' Have not the kind fates proved that we are akin, as I told you years ago ? Why else have they brought us together ? I bowed low over to the lady’s hand ; but 1 did not call her—Marguerite. Nei ther did I call her Madame L’Estrnnge. Some subtle undefined feeling prevented that; I compromised by not calling her anything. . I must not make my story too long. I You anticipate oil I would say. There were no other guests at the chateau- Wo three were ns isolate us Adam and Eve iu the Garden of Eden. That was truly ftn enchanted week, iu which we rode, we rambled, we talked, we read, we saug—happy dwellers in Arcadia. Aud then—then I awoke one day to fiml that there was no safety for me but in Might. This Marguerite was growing too dangerously dear. I, who prayed daily, Let me bo uot led into tempta tion—what business had 1 there, da.ly ing with danger ? 1 was not a villain ; I was not an idi ot ; I had no more oouccit than my fel lows ; yet, 1 could uot help seeing that Marguerite's soft brown eyes grew softer still wiieu they met mine, aud that the long lashes drooped over them with a subtle grace when I drew near. 1 dm uot look for this ; but it was there, aim I saw it—l must go. A determination that I made known to my frieud the next morning. But you are not going ! he said. It is too soon. Did I not say you were to stay a mouth ? We will have mon guests, if you tire of this dull life ; and you shall sec the chateau nlive with song and dance. My old frieud must stay. No, I answered, your friend must go. Do uot make it too hard for him to leave you. ir looked at me narrowly. I Hus anything gone wrong ’! be usk.m in a low tone. Tell me, my friend ! 1 had thought—l had dreamed—ls there anything amiss with you Marguerite V He spoke ill Itis own tongue now as lie always did when any strong emotion stirred him. I answered in mine, my cheeks white aud cold, but my eyes ablaze : Amiss—anything amiss, M.L’Estrange '< Do I hear you aright ? You are speaking of the lady who is your wife, and ot one who would fain be an honorable man I Anything amiss, monsieur. Ho looked at me au instant as if h thongbt 1 had gone mad. Then it sudde.i light seemed to break over his face, ami. to my auger and astonishment, he laugh- j ed a genuine hearty laugh. But before j I oould speak his mood changed, and he caught me impulsively in his arms. 0 my poor boy ! he cried, I see it all now. And you thought Marguerite was my wife I But I told you she was not, when yt n asked me so long ago. Do you not remember ? I supposed you un derstood. The woman who should have been my wife lies in the churcli-yard yonder. Monsieur ltipon—Marguerite is my sister! I covered my face with my bauds. I oould have sunk into the dust at his feet. It was all clear to me now—ns clear as uoonday. Yet, with my preconceived ideas of their relationship, and in a coun try with whose domestic life and habits I was so unfamiliar, I could uot so much wonder at my mistake. The pathos of the servants, too, hail helped to mislead me—aud I had seen uo others. I dared not look at him. The gentle dignity of his last words overpowered me even while, in spite of my confusion and dismay, my heart was thrilling with a new-bom hope. I lifted mine at last to meet his filled with affable tenderness. You know my secret, I said. Shall you take me at my word, my friend— must I go away ? Nay, nay, lie whispered. It was for this that we were thrown together that October morning. Was it not charmed, the token I gave you ? Stay now ; and il you can win her gentle heart, I will give you yet another pearl—my Marguerite ! Just as long as I live, I mean to re member in my prayers the gentleman who missed connection at Syracuse ; for if it had not been for him, would I have worn the rare pure pearl that was given to me two mouths since, by my brother Hippolyte L’Estrnuge ?

I He (the ocean telegraph operator) taps the “key,” as in a land telegraph, ouly it is a double key. It has two levers and nobs instead of one. The alphabet used is substantially like the Morse alplmliet —that is, the different letters are repre sented by a comhfli.itioii of dashes and dots. For instance, suppose you want to write the word “boy,” it would read like this : ... . ;B is one dash aud three dots ; O, three dash es ; and Y, oue dash, one dot and three dashes. Now, in the land telegraph the dashes and dots would appear on the strip of paper at the other end of the line, winch is uuwound from a cylinder, and perforated by a pin at the end of the bar or armature. H the operator coni* read by sound, he would dispense with the strip of paper and read the message by the “click 'of the armature as it is pulled down and let go by the electro magnet. ■ The cable operator, however, has neither of those abvautages. There is no paper to perforate, uo “click” of the ar mature, uo armature to “click.” The messago is read by means of a moving flash of light upon a polished scale pro duced by the “deflection” of a very small mirror, which is placed within a “mirror galvanometer,” which is a small brass cylinder two or three inches iu diameter, shaped like a spool or bobbin, composed of several hundred turns of small wire wound with silk to p. event the roots I from coming in contact. It is wound or coiled exactly like anew rope, a small hole being left in the middle about the size of a common wood pencil. Iu the centre of this is suspended a very thin, delicate mirror, about, ns large as a ker nel of cum, with a correspondingly small magnot rigidly attached to tlie back of it. The whole weighs but a little more than a grain, mid is suspended by n single fiber of silk, much smaller than a human hair, and almost invisible. A narrow horizontal scale is placed within a dark ened box two or three feet in front of the mirror, a narrow slit being cut iu the centre of the scale to allow a ray of light to shine upon the mirror from a lamp placed behind saidVcale, the little mirror in turn refl otiug the light back upon the scale. This spot, of light upon the scale is the index by which all messages are read. The angle through which the ray moves is double that, traversed by .the mirror itself ; aud it is, therefore, really e piivuleiit to an index four or six feet in length without weight. To the. carnal observer t-hore is nothing hut a thin ray of light, darting to the right and lett with irregular rapidity; hnt to the trained, eye of the operator every flash is replete with intelligence. Tims the word “boy,” already alluded to, would be read in this way : One flash to the right and three to the left is B. Three flashes to the right is O. One to the right, one to the left and two more to the right is Y, aud so on.

Miss Annie Oliver, the girl preacher, whose sermons have been listened to by many persons at Sea Cliff and other places, was born in this city, and is a graduate of Rutger’s Female College. She is a slight limit young woman, with coal black eyes, abundant brown hair, and very graceful manners. To a report er who called ou her yesterday she said. “I preach because 1 love to, aud because I feel that I have been called to the min istry. I was reared in the most retired circles, and never dreamed of public life when I was a school girl. I loved art, and began to learn landscape paint ing iu Cincinnati. When the crusade against liquor sellers grew strong in Ohio, I was drawn into it, and I helped them all that I could in Trumbull coun ty. Then in Cincinnati. I went with ladies to the temperance meetings, and, by talking to little knots of men, I gain ed confidence enough to address a throng aud I preached to clusters of the poor el the city. Then I addressed a throng in the Exposition building. I made up iny mind that 1 could uot be contented any more without active work in the minis try, and I began to seek a place to study. Os course I thought that girls had to be educated, if they became preachers, as well as boys.. I applied first to the sem inaries of my owu church, the Congrega tional, and they refused. Thou I applied to the Presbyterian Seminaries, aud they were very dignified and exclusive. I ap plied to fourteen iu all, and at last found a university in Boston which accepted me as a student, Oberlin College, allowed me to study the languages, and the pro fessors thought they were doing a great thing for me and said that no other church would do so much. I have a year more to study in Boston, when I expect to apply to the Methodist for license to preach.—-V 1. Hun.

A BATH linfc DEAD SEA. flu Mr. C. A. KhigiStiv writes as follows, in the Foiest aud .Ream, of a bath in the Dead Sea : “.Baching at last, this 1 most o.*l! se:C aud lakes oti the globe, vte jk'tq :j»<l ffApnke a bath, and such n bats I bni»ly ever expect to take again Ilia previously bathed in other sens, lakes and rivers, but never ! did I enjoy such til bath as this.

A correspondent of the Arkansas Grange give* his experience ou the shrinkage of Colton as follows : I had a dispute last September with n Memphis merchant about the loss of weight on cotton. To test the matter I ginned a halo ou the loth of October weighuy-, Vase- mumls. I then put it in a dry shed nu a plank floor, so situated that it had sunshine every day that was clear until December Bth, when it was again weighed and found to weigh 4 !8 pounds. 1 aud Hires men to see the test. I wish all my brother planters would make a test, and see if it brings the same result. This is the third year I have tried il with the same results. The average loss on cotton übipppl to Memphis is about ten pounds per bale; this, at 15 cents, amounts to $600,000 on the cotton shipped to tlnu place. This would pay all our taxes What Farmers Cannot Conceal. —A poor farmer cannot conceal the fact that he is a poor farmer. All his sur roundings proclaim the verdict against him—his horses, cattle, wagons, harness, plows, fences, fields—even Iris wife aud children bear silent, but unmistakable evidence against him. On the other hand, all those things will testify favor ably iu behalf of tiio good farmer. Ev erypasser by cau read the evidence, for and against. This fact alone ought to stimulate every farmer to do his best, for the sake of his character Us well as interest; tov ho may rest assured that every passer by will pronounce judgment according to'the evidence, CAR P E T Sr The Largest Stock in the South at Prices to suit the Times!
