Wt, dearest! who In life’s rough path
Walk laden heavily,
Should ever face the light, so that
Whoever we may be,
The heavy burden which wo hear,
Its shadow dim may cast
Not on our forward steps, but on
The portion we have past.
LOVE.
I think that love ia like a play,
Where tears and smiles are blended !
Or like a faithless April day,
Whose shine witli shower is ended !
Like Coinbrook pavement, rather rough ;
Like trade, exposed to losses ;
And like a Highland plaid, all stair,
And very full of crosses.
A CONGUREI! AT HOKE.
TUB MAGICIAN MEUMANN SOME OF 1118
QUEKK THICKS.
A writer in Belgravia (Uscibesa visit
to the magician, Hermann, at liis private
residence near London, and the tricks
there played for the entertainment of Ihe
guests :
The dinner passed oil’ handsomely. The
viands were of the best in the seasou.the
wine was of the choicest, conversation was
brisk, if not brilliuut, and good humor
threw a radiance over the whole party. It
was, in fact, a merry meeting ; and tiiere
was just the number seated around the
table to concentrate the tulk and prevent
the party from breaking up iuto knots.
Herr Hermann,who was seated at the head
of the table, had fekeplic placed at his
r ght band. This collocation, which was
suposed to be accidental at the time, was
and jsigned by the conjurer. He had seen
aid noticed the incredulity of his guests,
and was determined to make a convert of
him, or, at all events to show off his pow
ers at his expense.
The conversation turned upon presti
digitateur and their various feats of leger
demain. Herr Hermann—who, having
passed many years in America, and being
no stranger to England, spoke English
with much fluency—said: "I am well
aware that all you savants have an idea
how the best of our tricks are accom
plished.” “I should think so!” from
Skeptic. “But I fancy I could puzzle even
you !” "Ob, indeed !” again from Skeptic.
"Ah, sir. and even you,” turning to Skep
tic. “By all means try it.” “I shall ;
and after dinner I will show you a few
tricks, and will defy any one of you to
have the remotest notion how they are
done.” “Bravo!” from all the company
except Skeptic, who laughed and helped
himself to wine, and congratulated himself
on being so much cleverer than the
conjurer.
The tricks played by' Hermann are thus
described.
“Presently Herr Hermann rings the
hell, and tells the man servant who an
swers it to fetch some cards. The man re
tired and came back with two packs of
cardß in secured cases and placed them
on the table. ‘Take one of these packs.’
said our host, addressing himself to Skep
tic ; ‘open the cover and see if all the cards
are right.’ ‘No preparation ?’ demanded
Skeptic. ‘No, I assure you. What lam
about to show you now, I could do with
any cards.’ ‘Of course,’ ejaculated Skep
tic, sueeringly, and began to tear the cover
from the pack. Skeptic looked at the
cards, and we all looked at the conjurer.
When Skeptic pronounced the cards ‘all
correct,’ Herr Hermann took them in his
hands, and flinging them down on the
table with their faces uppermost, said,
‘There are eight of you. When I leave
the room and tlie door is shut on me, let
each person draw a card from the pack,
return it, and shuffle the cards.’ He left
tho room, bidding us recall him when we
were ready. Each man took a card and
put it hack. Then we all had a shuffle at
the back, excepting Skeptic, who thought
he knew all about tbe trick, and flic con
juror was brought back in clue time.
“He took the caids in liis hand. ‘There
are eight of you,’ lie said, ‘Each one lias
drawn a card aud replaced it: aud ibe
eight cards, if you have well shuffled
them, should bo dispersed through tlie
pack. No eye could see into liis room
when the door was shut; even knowing
the cards—were that possible—would
leave the seemingly impossibilities of
bringing the eight cards together ; you
will acknowledge that. Behold what
art can do !' lie gave the cards a sort of
tlourish, and placing the pack on his left
palm, threw from the top the eight cards
iyhiph we had drawn. He then turned
to Skeptic, and with a good-humored
smile required whether he had any ieda
how the trick was done. Our -nil ad
mirari’ friend laughed, and said nothing ;
but shortly afterward he was heard to
observe, ‘Curious, ain't itV This trick
gave rise to a good deal of talk, and some
disputation ; but there were no two opin
ions about it; it was allowed by all to be
the most complete and inexplicable feat of
legerdemain ever witnessed.
“ '{'rick No. 2 waareven more astonish
ing and incomprehensible. * know,’
laid Herr Hermann, addressing the whole
party, after'some discussion had gone on
about the sleight-of-hand performances,
‘I work by wit and not by witchcraft.’—
‘ For wit read trick,’ interposed Skeptic.
‘But what,’ continued the conjurer, not
heeding the interruption, ‘supposing I
were to interpret your thoughts—to know
what was passing through your mind ?’
‘That indeed would be a trick above nat
ural magic,’ I exclaimed- Sceptic filled
Uis glass aud winked to his neighbor, as
who should say, ‘I know all about it.’—
‘We shall see,’ said Herr Hermann. ‘Now,
each of you two gentlemen,’ he went on,
speaking to his right hand guests, ‘think
of a card , I do not ask you to touch one,’
and taking up the pack he threw the
cards front upward on the table. The
choice was quickly made. Mr. Hermann
recovered the cards, shuffled them and
spread them out as before. ‘The card,’ he
said, ‘one of you thought of is there ; the
card the other thought of is absent.’ The
gentlemen searched. One of the cards
selected was not to be seen—the other
was found. ‘So far. so good,’ exclaimed
~* err Hermann, ‘but the trick is only half
done. The conjurer took the cards again,
shuffled them as before, and exposed them
on the table. ‘Now,’ be cried, ‘the illu
sion is reversed. The missing card reap
pears, and the card thought of that was
present is not to be found Search V And
suck was the case The cards bad come
iHiirtm Oaiitj Cntcnnisr.
and gono at the bidding of the wonderful
magician, who seemed to exercise a men
tal rather than a physical exercise over
them. Wonder was expressed in every
countenance and Skeptic, annoyed because
he was foiled, drank otf an additional
bumper to qualify him for elucidation.
“A moment's consideration of the trick
must satisfy any body of its extreme clev
erness and incomprehensibility. The only
possible solution that offers itself is in the
supposition that the conjurer by some pro
cess of his own, was enabled to follow the
eyes of the gentlemen in their direction to
the cards spread upon the table, and to
mark those they made use of. Knowing
the cards, of course an expert practitioner
would And no ditiiculty in manipulating
them as lie pleased ; and getting rid of u
card and returning it to the puck, con
trived with whatever rapidity, is no extra
ordinary feat of legerdemain. Ascertain
iug to a certaiuty the two cards upon
which two persons have thrown a glance
for Ihe shortest possible spaco of time, is,
it must be allowed, one of the. most re
markable and puzzling achievements of
the conjurer's art, and may he termed its
crowning feat. Ido not assert that it was
by this process llerr Hermann ascertained
the the cards his two guests thought of,
hut if not thus I can conceive no other
method by which he made them known
to him, unless, indeed, it were veritable
witchcraft.
“Some ten or fifteen minules had passed,
and the conversation was about to lapse
into generalities, when our host rose from
his seat, and, taking from the table the
cards, went to the other end of the room.
‘I want to ask your opinion of a trick
which, no doubt, you have often seen—
your opinion as to how Ido it. Will you
oblige me by taking a card V * May Ibe
allowed to suggest the unopened pack of
cards ?’ inquired friend Skeptic looking
around him with an air of wisdom. ‘Oh,
certainly,’ answered Herr Hermann, ‘open
the untouched pack yourself and then
give it to me. Skeptic removed the
envelop from the new pack and scruti
nized the cards carefully. The eyes of
ihe company were now fixed on the pair,
and no one spoke. Skeptic having satis
tied himself that the cards had umJcrgone
no previous ‘preparation,’ handed them
to the conjurer. ‘Take a card,’ said the
latter. It was done. ‘Now take the pack
in your own hands, put the card back and
shuffle.’ Skeptic did ns he was told, and
smiled as lie shulfled the cards in a variety
of ways. 'lt would tie difficult, would it
not,’ usked Herr Hermann, ‘to tell you
the card you drew ?’ ‘Bather !’ ejaculated
Skeptic. ‘What ifl were to do more, and
make you draw again the same card ?’ ‘I
should like to lay £lO to the half crown
on that.’ ‘Keep your money, my friend ;
I don’t want to rob you ; give me the
cards.’ He took the cards from Skeptic,
and, shuffling them, said: ’This time
when you draw the card, do not let any
body see it, nor say what it is until I ask
you. I must do my tricks after my own
fashion. Draw!’
He drew. “Now place the card upon
the table back upwards, aud cover it with
your band, bolding it tightly.” Skeptic
did as lie was required. ‘Now sir, is not
that card the one which you drew first V
Certainly uot,’ exclaimed Skeptic loudly
aud triumphantly. ‘lndeed!’ cried Her
mann, there must be some mistake.’ ‘Of
course there is,’ rejoined the guest, ‘but it
is your mistake,’ aud he laughed with
much glee. ‘Are you sure ?’ ‘Positive.’
‘Name the card.’ ‘I drew the queeu of
spades first, and this under my hand is the
nine of diamonds.’ ‘Let me look at it.’
Skeptic took away his hand aud beheld—
the queen of spades. An explosion of
laughter at Skeptic's expense was followed
by a volley of cheers for this wonderfully
clever defeat of sleight of-hand, if indeed
it was so, for I was utterly at a loss at tlio
time —and am now when I think of it—to
account for the manner in which it was
accomplished.
“ Many other tricks were exhibited in
the course of the evening, but those rela
ted above were decidedly the newest aud
the best, although some of the others
would have made a common conjurer's
fortune. Several -times Herr Hermann
held out a pack of curds and named be
forehand the card any one of us would
draw, in spite of every effort on .our part
to foil him, aud this without failing in any
one instance. Of course,‘passing a card’
is one of the commonest tricks in card
jugglery ; but to pass a card and name it
beforehand, and pass it on u company so
‘cunning of fence' and so wary as ours,
was a very different matter.
“Better than ‘passing the card’ witli
such magical dexterity, which we know
is achieved with rapidity and neatness of
fingering, was the trick with the pear,
which, indeed, was as inconceivable as
anything shown that evening. One of the
party was asked by the conjurer to take a
pear from the table aud mark it, then to
cut a slice from it, to cat the slice, und to
hand the pear to llerr Hermann. This
was done and the pear given to the con
jurer, who, taking it in his hand, threw it
up towards the ceiling, caught it as it fell,
aud returned it sound and whole to the
gentleman, who declared it was the game
pear he had marked and from which he
liad cut the slice."

ItOMANCE AHD FACT.—A yOUDg COUple
were sitting together in a romantic spot,
with birds and Bowers about them, when
the following dialogue ensued :
“My dear, if the sacrifice of my life would
please thee, most gladly would I lay it at
thy feet.”
“ Oh, sir, you are too kind. But it just
reminds me that I wish you'd leave off
using tobacco.”
“ Can’t think of it. It's a habit to which
I am wedded.”
“ Very well, sir, since tills is the way
you lay down your life for me, and as you
are already wedded to tobacco, I’ll take
good care you are never wedded to me, as
It would be bigamy.”

A MOREL NEWSPAPER.
THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Savannah Daily Moknino News is ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
best daily paper south of Louisville and cast of
New Orleans. Carrying with It the preetige
and reliability of age, it has all the vigor and
vitality of youth, and its enterprise us a gath
erer of the latest and freshest news has aston
ished Its contemporaries aud met the warm ap
probation of the public.
During tlie year 1873, no expense of time, la
bor, and money will he spent to keep the Moiin
ino News ahead of ull competitors hi Georgia
journalism, and to deserve tho flattering enco
miums heaped upon it from ull quarters.—
There has, as yet, been no serious attempt
made to rival tlie special telegrams which tlie
News inaugurated some years ago, and the
consequence Is, tliut the reader In search of the
latest intelligence always looks to the Morn
ino News. The telegraphic arrangements of
tlie paper arc such that the omissions made by
tlie general proas reports are promptly and ro
liably supplied by its special correspondents.
The Moknino News lias lately been enlarged
to a thirty-six column paper, and tills broad
scope of type embraces, dully, everything of
interest that transpires in the domain of Liter
ature, Art, Science, Tolitics, Religion, and Gen
eral Intelligence; giving to tlie reader more
and better digested matter than any other pa
per in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of tlie pol
itics of the Moknino News. For years and
years—indeed, since Its establishment—lt has
been a representative Southern paper, and from
tliut time to tlie present, in all conjunctures,
it lias consistently and persistently maintained
Democratie.Btates Rights principles, and la
bored, with an ardor and devotion that know
no abatement, to promote and preserve the in
terests and honor of the Booth.
Tlie special features of the Moknino News
will be retained and improved upon during the
ensiling year, and several new attractions will
be added.
The Georgia News Items, with their quaint
and pleasant liuinor, and the epitome of Flori
da A flairs, will be continued during tlie year.—
The Local Department will be. as it has been
for the past year, the most complete and relia

the commercial columns will he full and accu
