The sunlight falls a golden tide, o'er airy forests grejn and wide: l ure odors drift the morning through, \,id (iod Ins led mo hitherto. Sweet flower-perfumei thrill the air. As if from censor swung at prayer; And sweeter fragrance tills my life With all my Father’s goodness rife; He gives me roses after rue, \n l Ho has kept me hitherto.

Mt. Vernon (Ills. •<’or. (lInhp-Penio;*rat.) It M-eins to me that I have one more , :l y of "light to throw on this subject A frvv vt-ars ago, as my friend ( apt. Jo I aur was coming up* the Central from t aim he noticed a very respectable-look in',r negro in the seat behind him, and , Ih-ned up a conversation. It soon came that the man once lived near the cele brated battle-ground, and, aj the captain l,:i 1 been in the light, they b>th had much io tell The negro said that in 1862 he belonged to Mr. Cherry, who lived at 8a- vanuah. ( herry was a*strong Union man. .,nd Cen. Grant had his head quarters at iiis iiou-'C. One night Gen. Grant told l,is ad.utant to let Gen. Buell Know that there was no oc (a> ion for him to rush his men, as it would lie a week before they would l»e readv ta march to ( orinth, and in the meantime little would lie done. Mrs. ( herrv overheard this, and slie was a n bd - not to Grant, but to everybody else. So she quietly went to the kitchen, wrote a note to I:'eauregard, and told the negro wimt it was and what lie should do with it Sit lie got a h »rsc, passed the lines, through the darkness to Beauregard s la-a hpmrters, and put the note in the gen i-ral s hand. Kverything began to rustic. I lean regard rushed toward Pittsburg Landing, and—we have all read thc’re>t nf the story. • Mv friend ( apt. I.aur, of the ( nion ; imy. and my other iiclghlwr here who 1 mght on the other side think this negro's vio'y the best key they have found to the 1 >liiloh riddle. ” Untt-liing tin* Inrubalors. |New York Tribune.] one of the interesting things at the fanciers’ show is to watch the incubators. | The machines have glass fronts so that ilie process of hatching can be watched I by every one who is curious. All egg j w ill lie lyiug as white and smooth as if it I were just going lobe boiled for break- J ;:i-t, when suddenly a little hole will ap- I ear in it and a diminutive bill will be seen | ccking away, trying to enlarge it. Then some of the downy little chickens j ■ lint have been sitting around gossiping with each other, will become interested : id run over to lake a baud. The amount nf spmt they have with the poor, im prisoned biped in that egg is in credible. Kvery time he moves they will dart their bills at him and scurc him so that he withdraws into his -hell and resolves to become an egg again mid see 1 fe in the form of a ham omelet. Then the frolirksome c hickens will pre paid to go away, but iu soon ns the uu- hutched ’chic ken moves they arc at him When they tire of the sport they go away and leave the chicken to be hatched hi peace. Tee hole in the shell grows larger and larger and finally a head and neck, covered with what looks l.ke coarse, scant hair, arc* thrust out. Then a kicking and scrambling takes place on the part of the chicken to free himself from iii-. shell. Kvery now and then lie will I a use and le supinely for awhile, ex Imusted b\ his efforts Finally he is free, mnl in a few hours is a thirty, lively little -.hick.’’ 1 >i-«'.»•!nt* Yankee*' Invention*. ! Exchange.] According to the Paris Gaulois an np» pa rat us has just been invented which >s simp'y astounding,* for with it the navelcr need no longer fear any acci dents. Safety will lie luwuied on rail :oads. This apparatus permits the cm p'oye charged with the duty to see in a mirror the entire section of the road he b to control, with all the trains in motion, and he* knows at every instant nst exactly where each train is. h ken one of them approaches another at a distance which i' dangerous, he can immediately signal the me naced train. The apparatus con 'ists of a sheet of opaque glass, on which ilie rails are indicated by horizontal lines and the stations by vertical ones num bered. Kittle arrows, representing the bains, move along the horizontal lines. I hey are put in motion by uid of elec iricity developed by contact cf metallic brushes attached to the locomotive with '"nc* bands placed along the rails. The : 1 oin tlm- continually traces its trajectory tlie glass ind cator. The apparatus a- » xhibited some days ago in Gtrman\ |M a commission of Berlin scientists.
