In s long-forgotten pocket, Tied up with a silken band, I found it: only a letter, Traced in a girlish hand. I read it over and over, All, me ! ns I did before, In the days that were full of sunlight— The days that are no more. Se I dreamed of a golden Summer, Far back in a joyous time, When every day was a poem, And every hour a rhyme. Therq came a fragrance of roses, And lilacs and mignonette, And a sound of sylvan music, And the eyes that are with me yet. A flood of purple sunset, In scintillant glory came, Till the deep old forests kindled, And burned like a fluid of flame, There came a girlish figure, With billows of floating hair, And she bent her face above me— An angel over my chair. I saw it all in a moment. While I held the crumpled sheet; And then, as the vision faded, The long, gray city street, With its hateful ru*h and clamor, Came back to my weary eyes: At , slill the fruitless struggle! Ah, still the worthless prize! SEEKING A SERVANT. My wife is a delicate little woman. She was esteemed a groat beauty when I married her. Her mother told me that, if I would preserve the roses in her checks I must be very tcuderof her, and shield her from too much care.— For that reason I have always advocat ed the dismissal of servants who were not absolutely perfect. One morning, last week, Jane omitted to put large spoons on the table, and the cruets were entirely empty. I took the matter in hand, as a good, kind, thoughtful, con siderate husband .should, and spoke sharply to the girl. She undertook to answer me back, and I sent her straight out of the house. .“That’s the way to do it,” I said.— “If one girl doesn’t suit, try another.” “But, my dear, Jane was a good ser vant in most respects.” “That is what you say of them all. I tell you, and have told you repeatedly, that it is just as easy to get those who are right altogether. You are too geu tle a mistress and your servants impose upon you. If I had the charge of the house they would have to toe the mark. I am tired of seeing you so overshadow ed with household affairs. Even now wriukles are settling in your forehead, as if you were forty-five instead of twenty-seven.” “Ah ! the wrinkles date far back of Jane's forgetfulness. I am not sure but they have been produced by the frequency of my visits to intelligence I offices. I thought, the last time I went | to one, that niy hair would turn white! before I got away.” “Why don’t you follow up some of those girls who advertise in the Herald? My mother used to, and was successful.” ‘I have. I got Della from an adver tisement—the one who sat down on the baby, thinking he was the rag-bag—and Alice, who stole all my best towels, and Julia, who would take her beaux into the parlor every time wo were out in the eveuing, and I don't know how many more. 1 have come to the con clusion, that when a servant is ueat and honest, it is best to overlook trifling shortcomings. If my husband was just a little more patient, I think I could manage very well. lam worn out with servautdmnting.” “Servant-hunting! I should think it would be a pleasure. I can’t imagine anything so very dreadful about it.” “Suppose you try it? I really do not feel well enough to make the effort; I rather do my owu work for a month. 1 ’ My wife did not usually speak with so much carnestnoss, and it surprised “SAL T 7 8 POPULI SUPBEM A LEX BS TO.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1873. mo. Besides, she looked palo and* j said before, I am a model of a husband. ( It was a pleasant morning. I had enough to do; but then I might as well be hindered half an hour to oblige my W’fe as to waste so much timo smoking after lunch. “I will, darling. Lie down and rest yourself, or read the pnpers. Take no thought about the matter; and row, good morning.” I kissed her, and went on my way. I bought a Herald at a stand on the corner. Glancing at the listof ‘situations wanted,’ I smiled at the absurd idea of putting up with incompetent servants when such an army was in the field. I selected two numbers, which I thought would suit. They each contained thro* figures, a.)d of course, were some distance away across the avenues. It was not an in viting-looking neighborhood, and the building into which I entered was far from prepossessing. I knocked at the first door on the first floor. A fat red faccd woman left the wash-tub and opened it. “Did a girl advertise from here for a place, this morning ?” “Not as I knows on. Maybe it is in the back room.” I knocked at tbe next door. It was opened by a little girl of nine or ten, barefooted and ragged, and her mouth full of baked potato. Four other chil dren, of Various sizes, came running to look at me. “Is your mother in ?” I inquired. “No.” “Is there a grl here who wants a place ?” “No.” “Do you know whether there is one in the building ?” “No.” “Maybe it is upstairs!” screamed an old crone from a bed in the corner of the room, as I took out the Herald to sec if I had not mistaken the number. I ascended a narrow staircase, and passed along a dark, gloomy corridor. I knock ed at the door, and repeated my inqui ries to a yellow. sickly-looking woman, with a babe in her arms. She knew nothing of any such advertisement, but it might be in the next room. At the next room they thought that perhaps it was up stairs. So I was handed along from one to another until I reached the fifth floor. There I gained the extraordinary information that it might be in the back yard. Reaching the ground-floor in safety, I proceeded to the rear, where there was a three story house on the same lot, with the space of only about ten feet between. An old man sat on the pavement smoking “llow many families are there in the building?” I asked. * He cogitated a moment or two before he replied : “Twelve, sir.’* It was true! The hall ran through the centre of the building, making four rooms on each floor, and each room con tained a family. I visited every room before I found the one the girl had ad vertised from. It was the most respect able looking one of the lot, and the oc cupant was a young, well-dressed woman. My spirits rose like foam and went down as quickly. The girl herself had not come yet. She lived in Brooklyn. I wheeled very abruptly and hurried to the sidewalk. Ugly words rose to my lips, but I did not speak them. I wondered if Effie had ever visited such an abode. Taking out the Herald again I read : “No. 333 West street—a yonug girl who understands her business, and is neat and obliging,” It was only two blocks off. This time I was fortunate enough to hit the right room at the first kuoek. The girl herself opened the door. Her manner was a little forbidding. I fancy she belonged to the snapping-turtle order. Nothing daunted, however, I explained i my business. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. “How many bo’s there in your family, sir?” she asked, ns she surveyed me from Iliad to foot. I dress well ns a general rule ; but it was a jvindy day, and I was in a pnrr of the city whore the streets were not watered. Conse quently the damsel before me could not make up her mind on the instant whether I would answer for a master or not. I gave her the number she would be ex pected to serve. “Do there boa carpet on the girls’ room ?” “Yes. Now please inform mo if you know how to take care of the whole upper part of the house ami dining room, and will do it well ?” “Do there be any fires to make ?” “One or two, I think.” “I guess the place wouldn’t suit me. Never make fires, iioys always do them where I lives.” I was again afloat. I.didn’t fold aud put my newspaper into my pocket any more. I read as I walked. According to my printed information, the most de sirable person for me to vi it was “a smart, capable, willing girl,’’ iu the neighborhood of Second Avenue. Quite a stretch from the western part of the city, but I went.' It was a five story house again. I gave a boy a quarter to run up stairs and make inq dries for me, and lie never came back to report. Near the third landing I found the maiden. She was staying with a friend, in a little room twelve by fourteen. The ‘friend 1 was a dealer in old clothes, and was just sorting over a cargo. The smart, capable, willing girl, had seen full sixty-five sum mers, and her hair was as snow. She was sitting with her feet in a pail of water, trying to cure corns, .-be said.— I left. I was getting slightly out. of temper when I reached the sidewalk. A dog harnessed into a small cart obstructed thc'way. I raised my foot and removed the whole establishment, into the sireet. After that I felt better. Turning for comfort again to the Herald , I found situations wanted’ by several in that vicinity; and I rendered unto all the light of my countenance. One girl had just ‘engaged.’ Another did not like to go where they did not keep a ‘full set of help.’ A third seemed qualified for our purpose, but her cousin was dead, and she could not come for a week.— The fourth didn’t like our location. The fifth made very pointed inquiries about the number of girls wo had during the year, and then declined engaging where they changed help so often. The sixth didn’t ever uegoshuuate’ with a gentle man; the madntne must come herself. The seventh wanted too many privileges, and had lost her front teeth. The eighth asked my name and place of business, but having never heard of me before, very dryly remarked that she ‘only lived with the first families.’ The ninth was a fair-haired, blue-eyed German, who was not ouly willing but exceedingly anxious to undertake anything. She promised to go to my wife in the course of an hour; and I, thoroughly disgust ed with this world, and particularly with the portion of it w icli I had just explored, looked at my watch and found it was two o’clock p. in. When I reached home at the usual dinner hour, Effie met me, smiling. “Did the uew girl come ?” I inquired. “No, I haven’t seen any.” I did uot give vent to pent-up emo tions, I only played the sympathizing husband, and, somewhat crestfallen, started on another tour of the same nature the next morning. Without confessing it to Effie, I de termined to save time and steps and try the intelligence office. A polite clerk at the entrance stopped me and regis tered my name, then I passed into the main room. A clerk sitting by a table gave mo a card. I was to take a seat correspondingly numbered. The room was filled with ladies talking to servants, and all sorts of persons hurrying hither nnd thither. A clerk .“poke through a tube nnd called for a chambermaid and waitress for number twelve. In the i course of ten minutes a tall, greasy i looking Irish girl came toward me. “If you are sent to speak to me,” I said, “go back and tell them you won’t ! suit. Lot another come as quickly as possible.” Instead of obeying, she dropped into a chair near bv. ► “Won't suit, ch ! What ails me ?” “You arc not neatly clad.” “Oh, that stall on my dress is nothing; it will come out with a little sponging—” I stalked the room, and advised the young man in attendance to send a de- . cent girl to me in short order. I con ferred with six beforo I gave* my ad dress and sent one to my wife. The little performance occupied an hour and a half, and my office work crowded me the rest of the (Jay. I dined down town. Having lost my key, I rung the bell of my own door about half past nine. The discarded Jane admitted me. “Effie, how is this?” I asked, before taking a chair. “Oh, nothing extraordinary. The girl ! you sent came She seemed perfectly satisfied with the place, but in the course of half an hour we heard the lower door slam, and saw her running down street. Towards evening Jane came for money, and not having enough by me,l detained her until you should come in. She went to work of her own accord, lias put the house in order, and assisted ine in every way possible.” “Keep her if she will stay. I will agree never to complain even of hair pins in the gravy. A dish-cloth or two j in the pudding will be a trifling griev ance compared with what I have been through during tlie last six-and-thirty hours. And, Effie, say to your lady friends that if their husbands are too exacting in little things, and meddle in domestic matters where it would be more sen ible for them to mind their own busi ness, you know of a remedy.” I have always been a model ; I am now one of the most decile of husbands. And it pays. Effie looks five years younger, and the servants no longer creep round the house in constant fear of making discoveries to their disadvan- 1 tage. A few words of well-timed com- ; mendation has cured .Tanc of her chief . fault, and, since I have seriou-ly thought about it, I believe her to be an excellent servant.— Appletonh Journal. What unconscious tribute we pay to the doctrine of the resurrection by-the love and honor in which we hold graves, century after century. Surely in our i hearts we believe that each such spot ! becomes forever unlike all other ground ; | by whatever process the dear flesh crum- 1 bles, returns to dust, and is changed in to the leaf, flower and seed that perish, in our hearts wo believe that the grave 1 remains a grave, ami that at least this 1 much is sure: That the happy, soaring, growing spirit which has gone on in the : worlds will never forget where the tiny ! spot is on this one in which its human body was laid. The Poston Journal of Chemistry gives the following receipt for that beautiful and instructive parlor experi ment known as imitation frost-crystals: Dissolve four hundred and fifty grains of uitrate of lead in six fluid ounces of water. If the solution is turbi'l, filter through paper. Place the solution con tained in a glass vessel on the table where it is intended to remain, and drop into it two hundred grains of sal-ammo niac—chloride of ammonium—in long fibrous chrystnls. Soon small chrystals of chloride of lead will form, and as cend through thedeneeror liquid,presen ting the appearance of an ascendiny snow storm. When the lead is all precipita ted, the chrystals will begin to descend a.s a genuine miniature snnw-storui, forming grotesque masses resembling a winter’s land-scape. If the vessel con taining the chrystals is not disturbed it often preserves its beauty for weeks.

A Father's Anvirw to a Brtdh,—- , Said a young husband whose business ! speculations were unsuccessful ? “My. wife’s silver tea set, the bridal gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin. It involved a hundred unexpected ex | penses, which, in trying to meet, have made me tiie bankrupt I nm.” His is j the experience of many others, who, less wise, do not know what, is the gob lin of the house, working its destruction, A sagacious father of great wealth, ex ceedingly mortified his daughter by ordering it to be printed on her wedding cards, “No presents, except those adapt ed to an income of §1,000.” Said bo, “you must not expect to begin life in the style I am able by many years of labor to indulge; and I know of noth ing which will tempt you to try, more than the well-intentioned but perni cious gifts of rich friends.” Such advice is timely. If other parents would fol low the samo plan, many young men would bo spared years of incessant toil and anxiety; they would not find them selves on the downward road because their wives had worn all of their salary or expended it on the appointments of the house. The fate of the peer man who found a linchpin and felt obliged to make a carriage to fit it, is the fate of the husband who find} his bride in possession of gold nnd silver valuables, and no large income to support the owner’s gold and silver in stylo. One Thousand Shots a Minute.— Ycslorday, at Holskiea machine shop, corner of Olierrv and Jefferson streets, a trial was made of anew mitrailleur, invented by Mr. J. P. Taylor, of Ten nessee. This most destructive imple ment of modern warfare has quite a number of novel features, wbioh distin guish it from the Gatlin or Imperial mitraillcurg. One important one is that the gun-barrels are in a water cas ing, so that the heating of the barrels is impossible. The other is that the twenty-four barrels, starting at the breech in a circle, at their muzzles, are grouped in an eclipse. By this means, a lateral or horizontal range is given, instead of one in which other guus of a similar character throw the projectiles up and down, at right angles with the ground. The device for loading is also exceedingly novel. It is self charging something like the Henry rifle. Metal ic cartridges are placed in hollow tubes, which are fed up to the chambers by the motion of a lever. A most ingenious device is U3ed for firing, and on moving the crank and ad justing a simple mechanism, the mitrail leurmay cither be 'used to discharge its load en fusillade , the twenty-four shots going off one after the other, or the whole may be fired at once. It has four chambers, each one of which can be put instantly in position, fitted and cleared of its cartidges. ’ In the fusil lade firing, as exhibited yesterday, it discharged about 700 rounds a minute; when fired in volley about 1,000. The caliber ef cartridge used was 44, and at a distance of 300 yards the lateral range spread the balls about 35 feet to the right and left of a given center. It is intended for the Vienna Exhibition. For use against cavalry aad infantry it would b 't terrible arm, and it has excited groat interest among our own artillery officer®. — N. Y.
