“HOIK Ol<’ A(ii;.”
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,” —
Thoughtlessly tho maiden sung ;
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing ;
Sang as sing the birds in Juno;
Fell the words liko ]i<*ht leaves down
On the current of the tune —
“ltock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee."
“Let me hide myself in Thee," —
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could ho—
And she had no thought beside;
All tho words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might he
On some other lips a prayer—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft for mo,
Let me hide myself in Thee.”
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me," —
’Tvvas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully;
Ev’ry word her heart did know,
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Boats with wings the air,
Ev’ry note with sorrow stirred—
Ev’ry syllable a prayer—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself iu Thee.”
“Rock of Ages,cleft for me,” —
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly—
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
“Let me hide myself in Thee,”
Trembling tho’ the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow,
Sung as only they can sing,
Who behold the promised rest —
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me, -
Let me hide myself in Thee."
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me.,” —
Sung above a coffin lid ;
Underneath, all restfully,
All life’s joys and sorrows hid,
Nevermore, 0 storm-tossed soul,
Nevermore from wiud or tide,
Nevermore from billow’s roll,
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiflened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye. still, the words would bo,
“Let me hide myself in Thee.”

Anorr Mackerel. —When a women
puts three mackerel to soak over night
in a dish pan whose sides aro eight in
ches high, and leaves the pan on a stair
way, she has accomplished her mofcsion,
and should go hence. This was what
a Division-street woman did Friday
uight. Filled the pan at the pump, and
then left it standing on the steps of the
stoop, while she went into the next
house to see how many buttons would
be required to go down the front of the
redingote. And a mighty important
affair that was, to be sure. And there
was her husband tearing through tho
house in search of a handkerchief, and
not finding it, of course. And then ho
rushed out into the yard, wondering
where on earth that woman could be,
and started down the steps without
seeing the pan, or ever dreaming that
any one could bo so idiotic as to leave
it there. Of course he stepped on it I
or, at least, that is the supposition, as
the neighbors who were brought out by
the crash that followed saw a horrified
man. and a high dish-pan, and three
very demoralized mackerel shooting
across the garden, and smashing down
the shrubbery. And he was a nice
sight, was that unhappy man, when
they got him on his feet. There wasn’t
a dry thread on him, and his hair was
full of bits of mackerel, and one of his
shoulders was out of joint, "and his coat
was split the whole length of tho back,
and ho appeared to bo out of his head.
He was carried in tho house by some of
the men, and laid ou a bed, while others

‘Yes, gentlemen,’ resumed Squire
Rlowhard, ‘I have had an eventful life,
aud have engaged in almost all kinds of
lusiucss and every profession, except
the ministry, and came darned near be
coming a preacher!”
‘That beats the devil!’ said Goody.
‘IIow?’ thundered Blowhard.
‘Why although ho has been known to
quote scripture, I never heard of his
preaching. 7
‘Goody, you’re an impertinent ass,
and should hold your tongue, and listen
rather than talk, iu order that you may
learn something.’
Goody skulked to tho rear, and tho
Squire proceeded: ‘Yes, gentlemen,
I’vo been engaged, at some timo or
other, in almost everything except stand
ing a ’
‘l’ll bet you were never an editor,’
said the schoolmaster, (who sometimes
contributed to the columns of the vil
lage paper, and prided himself on his
erudition.)
‘Why do you think so?’ demanded
the Squire, in imperious tones.
‘Because,’ modestly answered the
schoolmaster, ‘your education being
limited aud your reading by no means
extensive ’
‘Education and reading I’ thunder
ed the Squire—not waiting to hear tho
conclusion of the pedagogue’s remark—
‘what in the dickens.haa that gotjto do
with it ? You are behind the age. —
Any body who can buy an old press
and two or three founts of type can run
a newspaper now-a-days.’
‘Very well, I believe that he may
get along for a time, but the people
will soou fiud him out.’
‘Suppose they do —he can then go
somewhere else.’
‘Yes, yes—that’s quite common. But
did you ever edit a newspaper ?’
‘Of course I did; and you exhibit
your profound ignorance by asking the
question. I thought every well inform
ed gentleman was perfectly cognizant of
the fact.’
‘The Squire’s on his high horse, this
morning, and trying to talk big,’ whis
pered a co m try man.
‘Yes, gentlemen,’ resumed the Squire,
‘one o r the most unfortunate events of
my life grew out of iny connection with
tho press.
‘How was that ?’ chimed iu a half
dozen voices at once—all knowing that
lie was ready to spin a yarn.
‘lt happened in this wise: I was
running a weekly paper in a flourishing
town out West —areal live newspaper
—I wouldn’t have any tiling to do with
any other sort —it was before the days
of railroads, telegraphs, hoop shirts,
bustles, paniers, and all that darned
foolishness, aud when -men mado
and drank honest corn spirits without
wateriog it. Bourbon had never been
heard of, and men never had delirium
tremens. It was my pride to got up
all the sensational news I could, and if
nothing local actually occurred, I could
always draw upoo my imagination and
announce the drowning of an old woniaD,
the arrival of a chiokcn wagon, or
something of the sort. By dint of such
paragraphs and puffs of every body aud
every thing, from a hotel to a poanut
stand, I managed to get up a consider
able showing of local matter.
‘There was another paper published
in the place, which, without making
any noiso over it, pursued the even
tenor of its ways, aud frequently got
out news ahead of mo, and had the
knack of making people believe its
statements were reliable—consequently,
when it puffed any body or any thing, I
was mortified to find that the people,
whom I always regarded as a set of
| stupid asses, placed as much confidence
| in it as auything outside of the Bible.
I TWO DOIiLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Of course, I knew they were asses, but
dared not tell them so.
‘This was the state of things existing
when the incident I am about to relate
occurred. It was my ‘publication day’
—Thursday. My force was weak and
I had boon delayed in getting to press
-—in consequence of which, it was after
midnight when I got through making
up tho mails. Evoiy body left the of
fico before me, aud when I got through,
I steered homeward—it being too late
to get iny accustomed drink. It was
bitter cold and a fierce nor west or blow
ing. Hurrying along the street, through
the darkness and gloom, I presently
stumbled over something. Stooping to
see what it was, I was horrified to find
the body of a man frozen hard and
stiff.’
‘Didn’t you run, Squire ?’ asked Bill
Jones.
‘Run, thunder ! Never having been
afraid of living man, I would hardly
run from a dead one. lustead of run
ning, I stopped to meditate. I was in
a beautiful fix ! Every sheet of my
paper printed and deposited in tho post
office, all the printers gone home, so
that I could not issue an oxtra—and I
knew that the other paper, which would
be issued at noon ucst day, would con
tain all tho particulars, headed with
glaring capitals. All this was gall and
wormwood to my sensitive nature.—
But what should I do? A brilliant
idea seized me—l was always fertile
iu expedients—Gen. Jackson gave me
credit for that at the battle of the Horse
Shoe.’
‘Yes, yes, no doubt he did,’remarked
the schoolmaster, ‘but what become of
tho dead man ?’
‘l’m coming to that now. After re
flection, I was satisfied that the only
way to head off iny competitor was to
conceaj tho dead body until ready for
my next issue. Tho weather being iu
tensely eold, favored this plan, as the
body would leep. Recollecting a va
cant house about a hundred yards dis
tant, I determined to deposit it in the
cellar. a man of action, I
shouldered it at once, and hurried along
the street. There was some difficulty
in openig the door, and just as it yield
ed to my efforts, two stalwart Irish po
liceman seized me, thinking I was car
rying a dead hog.. They soon ascer->
tained that it was iho body of a man
—but no amount of explanation, affir
mation, oaths and prayers could con
vince them I bad not killed him. I
was most cruelly locked up, without
being permitted to sco my family or
consult with a lawyer. I did not have
to wait long for morning, however. The
few hours intervening were employed
in better reflections, but that which
goaded me almost to madness was the
thought that my cotemporary would
be able to get up ten times more sensa
tion over my arrest, imprisoment and
examination than I ever could have
made out of the dead man, even if I
had succeeded in my little trick.
‘When brought before Jhe examining
court, tho two Irishmen wero tho only
witnesses. Their testimony seemed to
be conclusive on the mind of tho magis
trate. He wouldn’t talk about bail,
and I had to go to jail. As Court was
coming on iu a short time, I did not
mind this much, especially as I thought
thero would bo no difficulty about. my
acquittal. The Irish policomcn again
appeared as witnesses, and I was per
mitted to make my statement, j%st as
a defendent may now do in this State,
without being sworn. Humiliating
as it was, I stated the facts fairly and
truthfully. My counsel made au able
argument in my defence, and I consid
ered myself secure until the d—d So
licitor tore my statonient all to pieces
—he discredited it by proving by the
paper maker from whom I bought pa
per, by postmasters and every body else,
that I did not have half or even quar
-1 ter the circulation I claimed. I saw
tho thing was very damaging to my
oase, and was not much surprised when
the jury returned a verdict of ‘Guilty,’
! hut reoumnending me to tho mercy of
; the Court. Tho Judge was a tender
i hearted, humane man, ntid deferred
passing sentendf until tho end of the
term. In tho meantime, my friends got
up a petitiou and 1 wrote a moving
letter to the Governor, with whom I
had often played poker, and who, like
Bullock, was very oMig’ng. Before
Court adjourned, tho messenger return
ed with a pardon—so that, had it not
been for Executive leniency I should
have been sent to the Penitentiary as a
punishment for my industry in getting
up stunning locals.
‘What became of your paper ?’
‘I sold out in disgust. I knew it
was useless to remain there any longer,
as I should never hear tho end of my
adventure with a dead man. Moving
into another State, 1 set up as a root
doctor.’ *
‘Tell us how you succeeded.’
‘l’m too dry now.’
‘Well, then, let’s all irrigate,’ and
they turned tho corner in search of one
of their accustomed haunts.
HOW GUIVI’OWDIIIt IS IQADE.
How do you thing you would like to
live fearing every moment to be blown
up ; none daring to speak aloud to jar
anything, for fear ofstartingan explosion
that would send you in an instant to the
other world ?
You don’t think it would be very
pleasant ? Well, it isu’t, yet hundreds
of men live in just that state —work,
receive pay, and live year after year in
the very sight of death as it were —all,
tiiat the world may. have gunpowder. —
You can easily guess these inen go
about quietly and never laugh.
You know tha‘ gunpowder is very
dangerous in a gun or near a fire, but
perhaps you don’t know that it is equal
ly dangerous all though the process of
making. A powder mill is a fearful
place to visit, and strangers arc very
sldom allowed to go into one. They
aro built far from any town, in the
woods, and eacli branch of tho work is
done in a separate building. These
houses aro quite a distance from each
other, so that if one blows up it won’t
blow up the rest. Thou the lower parts
of the building aro made very strong,
while the roofs aro very lightty set on,
so that if it explodes only the roof wi.y
suffer. But in spito of every care some
times a whole settlement of tho powder
mills will go off almost in an instant,
and every vestige of the toil of years
will bo swept away in a second.
But, though you feel like holding
your breath to look at it, it is really a
very interesting process to sec*. It is
made, perhaps you know, of charcoal,
salt-petrc, and brimstone. Each of
these articles are prepared in a hoi.
by itself, but the house whoro they are
mixed is the first terrible one. In this
building is an immense millstone, roll
ing round and round in an iron bed,
and under the stone are put the three
fearful ingredients of gun-powder. They
are thoroughly mixed and ground toge
ther. This is a very dangerous opera
tion, bocause if the stones come in con
tact with its iron bed it is very apt to
strike lire, and the merest suspicion of
a spark would set off tho whole. The
materials are spread three or four inches
in the bed; the wheel, which goes by
water power, is started, and every man
leaves the place. The door is shut,
and the machinery is left to do its ter
rible work alone. When it has run
long enough, the mill is stopped, and
the men coinc back. This operation
leaves the powder iu hard lumps or
cakes.
Tho next house is where tho cakes
aro broken into grains, and of course is
quite as dangerous as the last one. But
the men can’t go away from this, they
aro obliged to attend to it every mo
ment, and you may be sure not a laugh
or a joke is ever heard within its walls.

Every oue who goes in hss to take
off his boots and put on rubbers, because
one grain of the dangerous powder,
crushed by the boot would explode th

The floor of this house is covered
with leather, and is made perfectly
black by the dust of the gunpowder.—%
It contains a sot of sieves, each one
smaller than tho last, through which the
powder is sifted; and an immense
ground aud laboring mill, while it i*
ground up, while men shovel it in wood
en shovels. The machinery makesa
great deal of noiso, bnt the men are si

less crashing of the machinery even
seems to give greater horror, and ono

The stoving room is next ou the list,
and there the gunpowder is heated on
wooden trays. It is very hwt and no
workmen stay there. From there it
goes to tho packing house, where it is
put in barrels, kegs and canisters.
Lastly through all these bouses, it
goes at last to the storehouse. On*

You’ve heard of things being us dry
as a powder house, but you would not
think this house very dry. Jt is almost
imbedded in water. Did you ever heir
of a water roof before ? Instead of
steps to go iu there are shallow tanks
of water, through whioj every one must
walk to the door.
In none of these powder houses is any
light ever allowed cxcopt sunlight. The
wages arc good, the day’s work is short,
ending always at three or four o’clock. .
But tho men have a serious look, that
makes ono think every moment of the
danger, and glad to get away.—Ameri

The Old Catholics. —The Dussel
dorf corrospondeut of the Guardian say*:
“Tho Old Catholic movement is slowly
rooting itself. We have to record tw*
successes this week. In Essen,a strong
hold of Roman influence, a congregation
is established and a priest found Divine
scrvico is to be begun forthwith in the
Protestant Church of St Paul, and
Herr Hoffmann (another new name), is
elected piarrer for five years. Then, in
Breslau, service is also begun in tho
Church of St. Bernard, granted by th*
town council. Notwithstanding th*
carefully diffused declaration on th*
part of the clergy, that all who attend*
ed this scrvico were ipso facto excommu
nicated ; the church has been filled to
overflowing. The third Old Catholic
Congress is fixed for September 12th
and 14tb, at Constance. The order of
proceeding is the same as last year at
Cologne—public meetings and session*
i delegates with the invited guests.”

A Midsummer-Night Horror.—Jot
quin Miller relates a story horrible
enough to satisfy the most ardent lover
of sensation horrors. It is about a min
ing camp in a lonely district in Cali
fornia, where the scurvy broke. They
had no way of treating the afflicted ones,
when one of the miners happened to re
member a cure he had fbrmoly heard
of, called the “earth cure.” . So they
dug six deep pits in the shadow of ft
huge pine, and buried the patients up
to the chin, having first taken of all
their clothes. The earth was shovelled
back and closely patted down abovfr'
them, and tjie six heads in the moon
light had a ghastly look, “like men rift
ing iu resurveotion to meet the judg
ment.” The buried men, likft all hard
working miners, soon dosed off into a
deep', stupor-like sleep. Their compan
ions, who were watching them, grew
dozy too, and went to their bods, and!
slept soundly till morning, when they,
went to see how their companions wer* •
getting on. They found that the wolves
bad been down and eaten off every on*
of the six beads level with the ground*-
