Floated the note* of a lone whip-poor-wilL Softly the breath of the evening allured me Away from my conch; and I leaned on the sill. As the calm of the hour again reassured me, I beard in the distance the lone whip-poor- will. Sharp as the swirl of a willow it Bounded— Sharp on the balm of the ev'ning still; Back from the mountain the clear echoes bounded— Bounded the wail of tbe lone whip-poor- wilL Back to my oouch, as tbs evening star faded ; Back as the breeze, from the meadows blew chill. While the moon from my vision by clouds was .. o'er-ahaded. Again broke the plaint of the lone whip- poor-will. Forgive Him! “Forgive him!” said Mrs. Stains, “Oh, William, forgive him I ” The speaker was an aged woman and a widow. Her head was white with the frost of years, and her mild features were deeply marked by the hand of time. There was a tear in her eye, and her face was clouded with sorrow. She spoke to her eon,.a mid die-aged, Btrong-featured person, whose countenance betrayed a firm-willed,unbend ing heart, but yet .who appeared an upright, honorable man. however, did not ease his conscience, for he knew that he was lying to himseif, While he sat thus he heard a rap at the front door, and in a few^minutes one of the children told him that “Uncle William” wanted to see him. -Tell him to come in, ” said John; and after this he made a motion for his wife and children to leave the room. “1 shan’t badge an inch,” he muttered to himself. “If he thinks to frighten me, he’ll find his mistake.” Before he could say more, his brother entered the room. “Good evening, John,” said William, in a kindly tone, at the same time laying his hat on the table. • Oohn Stains was taken all aback by this address, and he could hardly believe his ears; but he responded hesitatingly to the salutation. For an instant he looked up into his brother’s face, and during that in stant there flashed across his mind a wish that he had never offended. “John,” continued William, still stand- -ng, “you know well what has passed to make us both unhappy.” “Yes, I know,” answered John, hardly knowing what tone to assume. “Well, my brother,” continued William,’ while a tear glistened in his eye, and at the same time extending his hand, “I have come to bury the evil that has risen up be tween us. If you have wronged me, I freely forgive you; if I have been harsh and unbrotherly towards you, I ask that you will forget it. Come, let us be friends once more.” Like an electric shock came this speech upon the ears of John Stain9. A moment he stood half bewildered, and then the tears “Forgive him 1” repeated the white- haired widow, as she raised her trembling ^ broke forth from his eyes. He reached forth hands towards her son. “He is your bro- ^ band, but his words were broken and ther—your only brother. Oh, if you know your own heart, you will forgive him. ” “Never I” spoke William Stains, in a firm, deep tone. “John has wronged me— deeply wronged me—and I should lie to my soul were I to forgive him now.” ‘And have not you wronged him ?” asked the widow, impressively. ‘I wronged him ? How ?” ‘By withholding from him your lore by treating him harshly, and causing him to sin," answered his mother, kindly. ‘Cease, mother. When you say that I have caused him to sin, you are mistaken. He has chosen his own path, and now he must travel in it.” •William, you are the oldest, and from you should come the love that can alone heal the wound between yourself and John.” “Listen tome, mother," said the stub born man, with a piece of bitterness in his tone. “John has been unjust to me—he* . - has been unmaniy and unkind. He has in-H“*°ur love win repay ita i, John. , , .. „ me nave your love, and I wdl try nc jured me beyond reparation ” No, no, William,” interrupted his mo ther, “not beyond reparation.” Yes, he has injured my feelings by the most fatal darts of malice and ill-will. He has told falsehoods about me to my friends, and even assailed my private character.” ‘And can you not forgive all this!” she asked, tenderly. •Perhaps I might,” returned William Stains, “but,” he added, in a hoarse tone, while his frame quivered with deep feeling, he has done more than that. He has spoken of my wife, and But I will “not tell it all. I cannot forgive him this’” “Forgive him, and be happy. His heart is as kind as yours, and he is all generosity and love to his friends. More than forty years have passed over John's head, and during all that time ho never spoke one un kind word to his poor mother.” “And did I ever speak unkindly to you, my mother?” asked William Stains, in a half hushed voice. “No, no; you and John have both kind hearts, and it grieves me sorely to see you as you are now. Ah, William, I fear that you do not perceive how noble a thing it is to forgive those who have injured you.” The man made no reply to his mother. He saw that she was unhappy, and he knew that he was himself unhappy also. In for mer years he had loved his brother, and he knew that he had been faithfully loved in return. The trouble which had so unfor tunately separated them, had been trivial in its beginning; but William’s sternness of will and 'John’s hastiness of temper had kept the fire on the increase. The first fault had belonged to the younger brother, but a word of explanation at the time might have healed it without any trouble; now, however, the affair had become deep and dangerous, and there was but one way for remedy. That way the aged mother would point out. “William,” continued Mrs. Stains, speak ing in a trembling tone, “I can spend but a few Bhort days longer on earth. I feel that the sands m my glass have most all run out: but before I depart I hope I may meet my two boys together in love—I hope I may see them once more bound together in the sweet bonds of friendship. When you were babies, I nursed you and cared for you, and I tried to do a mother’s duty, tried to make you both fit for the grea- world. As you grew older I promised my self a full share of happiness in your com panionship, and nanght has come to dim the joy of my widowed heart, till this sad clond lowered upon me, I love my child ren —I love them both alike—and yet they love not each other. William, my son, one hing weighs heavily npoa me. Should this thing last till I am dead, then how wil] you and John meet by the side of my corpse ? How wifi you feel when you come “Hush, my mother!” uttered the stout man, trembling like a reed. “Say no more now. This evening I will speak to you my mind.” John Stains sat in his easy chair in his own cozy parlor, and about him were his wife and children. Everything that money could procure toward real comfort was his; yet he was not happy. Amid all his com forts there was one dark cloud to trouble him. The spot where for long years he had nurtured a brother’s love was now va cant. No, not vacant, for it was filled with bitterness. He knew that he was in the fault, bat be tiled to excuse him—if by thinking that his brother hated him. This, indiBtinct. He had not expected this from his stem brother; but it came like a heaven sent beam of light to his soul, and in a mo ment more the brothers were folded in a warm embrace. When they were aroused, it was by feeling a trembling hand laid up on their heads; and when they looked up they found their aged mother standing by them. “Bless you, my children, bless you!’ murmured the white-haired parent, as she raised her hands towards heaven; “and oh, I pray our Maker that you may never be unhappy more.” John Stains knew that his mother had been the angel who had touched the heart of his brother, and it did not alter his for giveness. “Oh,” he murmured, “I have been very wrong—I have abused you, my brother; but if you can forgive me, I will try to make it all up.” Let never to lose it more. ” “Now I am truly happy,” said the aged mother, as she gazed with pride upon her sons. “Now I can die in peace. Oh, my boys, if you would have your children sure of happiness in after life, teach them that forgiveness will heal social wounds which can be healed in no other way. Many a heart has been broken from the simple want cf that talismanic power." Both these brothers tried to bless their mother for the healthful lesson she had taught them, and they failed not to teach it to their children as one of the best boons that could be given them for life. Throndhjem. The town has little in itself to attract at tendon. Though founded about the yeai 1(00, it has so often been destroyed by lire that few traces of its antiquity remain. Tie streets are wide and regular, and the haises for the most part built of brick or Stine; thus, the wooden aspect, so char acteristic of Norway and so quaint, is here foind wanting. So far one is a little dis appointed in Throndnjem. It has held an imiortant place in early Norwegian his- toy. One’s ideas of it have been formed in imagination at the impressionable age wten “Andersen's Tales” are devoured in implicit faith. The mind, in connection wih it, is imbued with a vision of all that is ild and much that is miraculous—from * fairy-tale point of view. Therefore, avaksning to the discovery that the ancient tovn, with its rich, grand, rolling name, iU tradition of wise men—the most north- gobe, gives rather a rude shock to the feel- iigs, bewilders the imagination, disturbs tie boundary mark between fact and fancy, aid causes a little of the romance attending tbs wonderful and beautiful country to nslt away, just as everything is at present irslting away under the influence of the flirce midday sun. We found ourselves li the market-place, a large, wide square, torn which the four leading thoroughfares "tf Throndhjem open out. It was as modern a anything you could wish to see. This norning it was half covered with booths aid stalls, the buyers and sellers not even cad m any special costume to render them distinctive and picturesque. At the end of •ne of these thoroughfares stood the ca thedral, the great and special attraction of "hrondhjem—its glory, as it is that of lorway itself, the one solitary piece of architecture that it possesses. But only in is first impression is Throndhjem disap- lointing. The cathedral makes up for a peat deal, and once visited, memory fast ens upon this piece of antiquity for its as- ociation with the ancient capital. And igain, though the actual situation of the town is not so picturesque and quaint as that of Bergen, yet tne neighborhood of Throndhjem is full of beauty, more luxuri- aat and fertile than anything we had yet sien in Norway. It is situated at the month of the Nid, and during the first four centuries of its existence was called Nid- ans. Throndhjem signifies “The Throne’s Home.” It is here that all the KiDgs are crowned. But at the union of Hweden with Norway it ceased to be the capital, the seat of Government, and the royal resi lence. So far its glory has departed. Ucatterlosr Grain. Passengers on the Pennsylvania Rail road, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, have been puzzled to know wbat makes tbe green carpet along one track during the greater part of the distance, while along the other track there is scarcely a vestige of vegetation. The reason is, that the eastward bound freight trains, -loaded witn grain, scatter it more or less along that track, and it toon takes root, while the ther track is by tbs westward bound sins, whioh carry no grain. Changed by Tears. She was a pretty girl, was Jemima— petite—that’s what I like—bright eyes, luxuriant locks—a white and pink com plexion, plump and compact. She was al ways in good humor, and we soon became the very best of friends—nay, more—for who could help being affectionate toward ner ? Everybody loved her. When the boatmen called her “a sweet little craft,” they expressed though vulgarly, the senti ment of my own heart. I was in love with Jemima, and Jemima— well, Jemima was not indifferent to me. I had not nerve to ask her, in so many words, would she ac cept my hand and name. I spoilt a quire of paper in the effort to utter my thoughts in a letter; so at last, on her birthday, the 15th of May, I ventured to present her with an elegant bound book, and on a lit tle slip of paper inside I wrote: “Dear Jemima—By the acceptance of this trifling gift let. me know you accept the giver! Alfred Barnstaple Doughty.” I flattered myself it was rather a plucky thing to do, and it answered admirably. Next time 1 saw her she was ail of a glow, and when we were alone together, and I was standing rather near her, and said: “You received my humble offer ing,” she burst into a flood of tears, put her arms round my neck, and spoilt my shirt front. Then, when she recovered a little (do you believe in Niobe ? I don’t) she said: “Have you asked pa ?” Of course I responded I had not. “Then do at once,” she said; “for, good ness gracious me, if he was to find us out in anything sly, and trying to keep it from him, it would be awful! ’’ It is a good deal worse asking the governor than asking the girl, especially such a pep pery old party as Captain Wattleborougb; however I screwed myself up, and when Jemima was down about the place, playing on our piano, and I knew he would be making hia evening toilet by putting on a pilot coat, I ventured to look in upon him. After a few words on ordinary topics, such as how were we both, how was the weather, I hemmed and began, “Captain, I am ambitious.” “Right boy—climb as high as you can.” “Don’t encourage me too much, Cap tain; I’m ambitious in your direction. ” “Boy, you’re Dot gomg to sea ?” “You can wear a scalp,” she said. “You can dye,” I responded. So we both laughed again, and it was all settled. We were settled, and here we are out of the fog, and very much at your service—the happiest couple in our town. A Summer Voyage on the Fepacton. This branch of the Delaware, so far as I could leain, had never before been descended by a white man in a boat. Rafts of pine and hemlock timber are run down on the spring and fall freshets, but of plea sure seekers in boats I appeared to be the first, Hence my advent was a surprise to most creatures in the water and out. 1 sur prised the cattle in the field, and those ruminating leg-deep in the water turned their hea s at my approach, swallowed their unfinished cuds, and scampered off as it they had seen a spectre, I surprised the fish on their spawniug beds and feeding grounds; they scattered, as my shadow glided down upon them, like , chick ens when a hawk appears. I sur prised an aucient fisherman seated on a spot of gravelly beach, with his back up stream, and leisurely angling in a deep, still eddy, and mumbling to himselt.' As I slipped into the circle of his vision, his under jaw dropped and he was too bewild ered to reply to my salutation for some moments. As I turned a bend in the river I looked back, and saw him hastening away with great precipitation. I presume he had angled there for forty years without having his privacy thus intruded upon, I surprised hawks and herons and kingfish ers I came suddenly upon musk-rats, and raced with them down the rifts, they hav ing no time to take to their holes. At one point, as I rounded an elbow in the stream, a black eagle sprang from tne top of a dead tree, and flapped hurriedly away. A king bird gave chase, and disappeared for some moments between the great wings of the eagie, and I imagined him seated upon his back delivering his puny blows upon the the royal bird. I interrupted two or three miuks fishing and hunting aiong the shore. They would dart under the bank when they saw me, then presently thrust out their sharp, weasel-like noses, to see if the dan ger was imminent. At one point, in a St- tle cove behind the willows, I surprised some scool-girls, with skirts amazingly abbreviated, wading and playing in the water. And as much surprise as any, I am sure, was that hard-worked looking ■VNofciptain;T-I-T-I Aspire to the ! housewife when 1 came up from under the _ ' i 0 _p> | bank in front of her house, and with pail °The < Captain looked me fill in the face, in hand appeared at her door and asked for th vjr ! milk, taking the precaution to intimate that vou m0 „ ev p i 1 bad no objection to the yellow scum that “Of course I hadn’t, and he told me to 1 “ supposed to rise on a iresh article of that go and get it before venturing to aspire to the hand of Jemima. “But, my dear Captain ” I ventured to expostulate. “Get off my doorstep!” “Let me speak for a moment to Jemi ma.” “Get off my doorstep! ’ He accompanied this last instruction by a thrust which scut me staggering into the ptreet. My affair with Jemima was at an end. The Captain would not listen to reason— that is, he would not listen to me. All the letters I wrote to Jemima were sent back to me. I grew weary, packed up and packed off, with a letter of introduction to kind. “What kind of milk do you want ? ” “The best you have. Give me two quarts of it,” I replied. “What do yon want to do with it?” with an anxious tone, as if I might want to blow up something or burn her barns with it. “Oh, drink it,” 1 answered, as if I fre quently put milk to that use. ‘ ‘Well, I suppose I can get you some;” and she presently reappeared with swim ming pail, with those little yellow flakes Fontainebleau. The forest of Fontainebleau covers 42,- 000 acres and is sixty miles in circumfer ence. Most of the trees are very old, and to the most remarkable ones are affixed small plaques giving the particulars of their history. Originally the demesne was named the Foret de Biere and became known as Fontainebleau from the fact that King Louis IX., while hunting in one of its wildest parts, lost one of his favorite hounds, whose name was Bleau. The dog was found quietly drinking from a spring of cool water, which the king named Fon taine Bleau, or Bleau's fountain. Struck with the beauty of the spot, the king or dered a hunting mansion to be built near the spring, and this hunting box has in successive reigns been enlarged and beau tified til! it became the stately palace which all visitors to the environs of Paris know so well. In Francis I.’s time, tradition says, the forest was infested by an enormous serpent, which gobbled up men, women and chil dren fa large numbers. As there were no snakeebarmers sufficiently courageous to attack the monsier, King Francis deter mined to try his hand on it, and caused a suit of armor to be made of razors, with the edges pointing outwards, and tne ser pent met his death. The library of the palace contains many of the first books seen in France. In Charles VU’s reign the 853 books therein contained were worth the present sum of $48,100. The English carried off the books when they were rulers in France, but they were bought back at the cost of $250. In the Hotel d’Albret, in the Cour du Cheval Blanc, Cardinal Richelieu dwelt when attending on the court. Here he was taken ill and was removed to Paris on a litter. The litter was too wide to pass through the door of the hotel and was lifted out through a window. In 1657, Christina, Queen of Sweden, while visit ing at the palace, caused Monaldeschi, one of her favorites, to be assassinated. Cardi nal Mazarin, by order of the king, wrote to her to leave the palace. She replied by ordering Mazarin to mind his own business; as a queen was always a queen wherever she happened to be. Fontainebleau was the scene of many of the triumphs of Rous seau and Voltaire. The latter, however, was requested to leave the palace, an un complimentary remark he had made hav ing come to the ears of royalty. The abdi cation of Napoleon L was signed at Fon tainebleau and here the petit corporal kept Pope Pius VIL prisoner for the space of two years, on account of some slight dif ference of opinion between himself and the successor of St. Peter. In the Cour Ga Cheval Blanc, Napoleon took his leave of the Old Guard when he started on his trip of exile to Elba. Fain tin*; Fits and Their Causes.

No, impossible—this pale-faced, ciently large to warrant my return to “the girl 1 left behind me.” I had heard very little from home. Father and mother were still alive, but tbe Captain was dead. They had carried him through the cornfields one summer’s day to the little churchyard, and there they Duried him. Jemima, I understood, lived in the old house and was still single. So—full of emotion, all the tenderness for the dear girl I had left behind me rapidly reviving —off I went, carpet hag and everything, just as I was, to have the old vows re newed and sealed in the usual manner. A maiden with a freckled face, much sunburnt, opened the door. Could I see Miss Wattleborough ? The maiden did not reply, but leaving me where I was, retired to the remote back settlement. There I heard the following dialogue: “Missus!” “Well, what is it? “Somebody wants you.” “Who is it ?” “A fat old man with a bag.” I could have shaken the girl into jelly. There was further talk in a smothered whisper and then the girl returned, and motioning me with her finger, said: “Come in here,” and showed me into the parlor. Tlfe old parlor, just as I had left it, neat and trim, the old harpsichord, the old punchbowl; but some new things—a ca nary in a cage at the window, a black, long legged cat ensconced upon a chair. The next minute a lady entered. Could sober visaged lady with stiff curls, and no mors figure than a clock case—could this be my Jemima ? Where was the old lustre of the eyes—where the old bloom upon the cheeks—where the lips that were ruddier than the cherry ? She lifted up both hands when she saw me. “Alfred!” “Jemima!” We shook hands; after a moment's hesi tation we went further—more ic accor dance with old times. My heart sank within me, however, as I sat down opposite to her, and thought of what she" wis. She looked at me very steadily, and I thought I detected disap pointment it her glance. “We are loth changed, Jemima” “You are very much altered,” she said. “You are different,” I responded. “Do you think so?” “Think so' Why, Jemima there can’t be two opinions about it.” “It is generally observed; but yoa “Well, my dear?” “You have grown ridiculously stout, and you are bald-leaded.” “You are not stout, my dear; but your hair is not quite what it was.” “People say they see no change in ms— that I preserve my childish appearance wonderfully.” j “flumphl” Our interview was not altogether agreea ble.

As so de fined, the chemical manufacture in Phila delphia includes about thirty establish ments, whose annual product has risen from $6,152,380 in 1870 to $10,000,000 in 1875 find $12,000,OOOin 1877, and, as near ly aTnowmaybe calculatad, about $12,000 000 in value for the year just closed .They give employment to about 2000 persons—a relatively small number for the values pro duced—and have attained a position ot su premacy in their respective departments which renders them reasonably secure, The drug and medicinal products are the largest, eight or ten establishments produc ing $8,000,000 in value of quinine, mor phia, preparations of iodine, bromine, etc., with other standard pharmaceutical pre parations. These arc now the basis and body of applied pharmacy in this country, and are likely to increase even more rapid ly in the future. On the side of standard medicines used as specifics almost as much more would be added, and the classifica tions would be entirely appropriate as a manufacture. Tbe drug and chemical works insist on the distinction, however, and in a calculation of a total of $12,000,- 000 production they are not included. They would reach $6,000,000 at least, and under the general name of proprietary medicines, footed a total of $5,490,105 in WO. _ The Cucumber Alan* nence from food. A liability to fainting seems most to be hereditary, so oommon is it in some families. Sometimes it is as sociated with heart diseases, but in the vast majority of cases it is purely functional, and there is nothing wrong with that organ. The determining causes of a faint are va riable in character. The susceptible sub jects it may be brought on by any sudden impression on the nervous system. This need not of necessity be painful or unpleas ant, for people may faint from excitement or excess of joy. For instaiice, the sadden announcement of the return of some long lost relative, or of the unfavorable termi nation of a protracted law suit, may be the exciting cause. The sight of certain ani mals, such as a frog, or a black beetle, or even a mouse, is quite enough to send some people off, while others faint immediately at the sight of blood, and even feel sick and faint if they read of an accident in the papers. We have all heard the story of the young preacher who fainted on having to read theaccount of one of the sanguinary battles in the Old Testament. Medical stu dents sometimes faint at their first opera tion. Such a trivial accident as pricking the finger will make some people sick and faint. Just aa I Expected, not sav ‘ I “Enos Turner, wbat’s all this about?” inquired his honor of a man of sixty who came out with his coat on his arm and the sweat running down his neck. “I won’t answer one darned question?” squeaked the old man as he humped up his back. “Phew! What’s the matter with you? That’s no way to answer a civil ques tion. ” “Well I’m mad—bilin’ mad! The mere I thinx of it the madder I git.” “You are charged with disturbing the peace.” “I “spo6ed there was some infernal charge or other, but I’m going to fight it if it costs me my hull farm. You see, I brought a few early cucumbers to town to sell. I was in a grocery up here some where to ask the price, when an old crow- bait of a hoss hitched to a rag wagon moved up and reached into my wagon and chawed six dozen cowcnmbers into mootal mush in about ten seconda If tbe owner ot the hoss had bin willin’ to settle like a man, there would’t have fain, a word, but he declared up and down that he would’nt pay one darned cent. Then I got mad, and the fust thing I knew I had that rag-man in the ditch and was playing on him like a landroller. I own right up. Judge, and I’m sorry there wasn’t one or two more of them.” ‘If I could overlook this on the ground of your genera! good character you would be more careful in the future I take it?” “It’s my first fight for forty years.” “Well don’t have any more trouble.” “I’lltiy not to, but cowcumbers are awful high jest now, and I’m feeling mad clear down to my heels. Good day ‘Squar’; I wish I’d brought ye in two quarts of cherries.” A day or two since a traveler from the East walked into the Cass House, Detroit, with his grip sack in one hand and the other pressed to his jaw, and he wasn’t long in permitting fifteen or twenty people to know that he had been afflicted with the toothache every minute since 7 o’clock the previous evening. He couldn’t eat drink nor stand still, and when some one asked him why he didn’t go to a dentist, he replied. “Because I haven’t got the pluck! Here I am, a great big six-footer, able to knock down an ox, and yet I haven’t got the grit to stand one yank on this tooth! I’ve been down on the battle-line, in free fights and out among the red skins, bat I’m a cow ard! ’’ Some laughed and some encouraged him, and he finally said: “Well, I believe I’ll try it, but I know what I am, and I want something to push me on. I’ll bet this flve-dollar bill against ten cents that I’ll have the tooth pulled.” One of the guests made the wager, and a small crowd went along to see the fun The stranger walked up as bold as a lion, took a seat in the dental chair, and evinced no signa of crawfishing until the dentist picked up the forceps and told him to get a good grip on the chair. Then he grew white in an instant, slid oat of the chair, ind seized’his bat and said: “It’s jnst as I expected! I’m a great big calf on wheels, and the worst flunker in America, but I can’t help it! I’ve lost the five dollars, and will probably have the toothache right along for a week, but I’ll have to stand it and hope to be struck by lightning or mashed up on the cars.” Man m m Compound. —The orange trees In Florida are cot growing as rapidly as usual thU The eminent Prof. Jager regards man as a threefold being, made up of body; of purely physical matter; spirit, or that which is absolutely immaterial and trans- cendant; the soul, or connecting link be tween the body and spirit. The soul, ac cording to him, is the seat of the will, tbe passions and the emotions, and it may be isolated by experiment. It is also easily perceived by the sense of smell. He en deavors to trace the phenomena of sympa thy and antipathy as between different in dividuals, whether brute or human, to the nature of the “soul emanation.” The want of harmony in their specific emanation was the cause of tbe social chasm between Jews and Christiana, between Aryans and ne groes, Ac. It would appear, then, that It is bat s universal colognewhich Is needed to bring peace upon earth.
