BY A. A. HOI'KINS.
The typo!—4 singular creature in he,
A hit of wisard I tako hiiu to lx?;
A p*r*d* over, I stoutly assert,
And know that the statement yon won't centre
▼art:
lie “takoi" a groat deal, and ho “prove*” all he
get*,
And he “set*" while he stands, and be *tand
while he “sets."
A magical power there i* in hi* hand,
Af swiftly the typo* in at command;
The art of a painter he ha*, to portray
Tho incident* many that make up to-day.
A wedding he picture*- “dick," “click,” and *ti
there
The glad, worry party, the Just wedded pair;
You *eo the young wife in her garment* of white
{You have gone to the wedding without au “in
vite”),
And fancy you hoar the good wishes of friends,
And'— thoru tho bright picture unwittingly ends,
For the typo paint* all kind* of scene* in a
breath.
Be spelled you a marriage -tho neat will ho a
death;
And low in tho coffin you sec* a dear face,
All silent and oo!d, that was full of rare grace;
A sorrowing circle that tenderly kis*
The lip* whose sweet ...pressure they ever will
mi**}
And softly the teardrop* creep down o’er your
Issue*,
As sadly you echo the “ashe* to asltcs.”
“Click, dick”—now ho is spilling s railroad dis
aster,
And fast “clicked,' tho typo*, and ntill faster and
faster;
And horror i* seen on each ono of their face*,
As quickly be ranges them into their place*;
“A terrible daughter,” you shudder then laugh
With hearty good-will at the next paragraph
A joke of three linos, or a dossil a* brief,
Done up—a rich bundle of fun in a sheaf!
Then follow some “ads”—patent hitter* and pills,
To cure every one of mortality'* ills;
“Click, dick,” and just under his finger* they go
forth!
“None genuine unless signed 'John Jones,' ” and
so forth!
Now ‘tis au “Kiixor,” and now a “Hair Dye”
(To color, of course, for it’s spelled with a y),
“Cough Syrup,” perhaps, or a “Wafer,” or "Lo
tion”
(A humbug condensed to a “Yankee nofciou!")—
A something, in *hort, for human disease*
“You pay in your money and take* what you
pleases 1”
Variety truly givea living its spice,
And types can present it to you in a trice.
From gravest to gay, every mood of the mind
Js by them each hour completely defined;
One moment they laugh, add another they weep;
I fancy their sorrow is not over deep.
Hut he their exprcMinn whatever it may,
The will of tho typo they only obey;
To all his commands they respond with a “dick,"
He rules with a stout little “rulo” and a “stick.”
The Highest Mountain in the World.
(From New York Bun.]
For many yours past Mount Everest, in
that portion of the great Himalaya range
which occupies the western pint of the
strange kingdom of Nepaul, immediately
north of India, has been rgnrded ns the
highest mountain in tho world. It is
known to the FepaiUes ns Gnurjsiuilur,
but the English nuntMili Everset, in hon
or of a distinguished offloer of the Brittish
Indian typographieal hurvey. Its snow
capped summit is 29,002 feet or nearly five
miles and a half, nbuyo-the level of the sea.
Of worse no one hah ever ascended to
this height, lint its altitude, like that of
the lofty peaks of the Himalaya, was as
certained by triangulatiou; and until tho
present time it has not beeu supposed that
any higher land exists on the earth.
If the news l> true, however, which lias
lately oomo to us from tiic more distant
East. there is a loftier peak than Mount j
Everest in the great island of Pnnpa or
New Guinea. This vast region, extensive
enough to form six States as large as New
Fork, is as yot almost wholly unexplored,
except along Us coasts. Lyllg eioao to
the equator, where tho Indian ocean and
the Pacific moot, it is the home of the
oassowary and the bird of paradise, a
country grand in its scenery, rich in veg
etation, and üboundmg in curious and
beautiful forms of animal life—tho verita
ble wonder land of the globe. An attempt
was made to explore the unknown interior
of the island from Torres strait,, which
seperutos it from Australia, by Capt J. A.
Lawson, iu the year 1872; and, if wo may
lielieve hia published narrative of the
journey, which has just appeared in Lon
don, he advanced several hundred miles
inla-id, and about midway between the
north and sontb coasts discovered Mount
Hercules.
The height of this mountain—over six
miles—is not the only remarkable thing
about it. Its apparent eleviition is but lit
tle less than its actual elevation; for, in
stead of rising fron a lofty table land like
tho plateau of Central Asia, it stands in n
comparatively low plain about 2,000 feet
above the ocean, and this gives a clear
rise of more than 8,000 feet above
the surrounding country. The traveler
-standing at its base, could look up
and see its snowy peak towering 30,000
feet skyward from where he stood. Under
such circumstances the altitude of u moun
tain is appreciated.
Capt, Lawson tells us that lie undertook
the ascent, formidable as it appeared. He
did not reach the top, but we believe the
achievement which he relates is' unparal
lelled in tho records of monutnineerin g.
Accompanied by one servant, he set out
from tho foot t four o’clock in the mom
ing. They passed through dense forests
in the first 2,000 feet of perpendicular pro
gresa, found the limit of tree growth at 12,
000 feet, and by 9 o’clock had reached a
point 14,000 feet, above tho sea level—al
most us high as the famous Matterhorn.
A thousand feet higher was the snow line,
amt they all began to suffer from the cold.
As they pressed on, drowsiness began to
overcomiPthetn. “Nothing was visible lint
snow of the most dazzling whiteness.
Every peak and crag was covered with it,
and it hung over the edges of the cliffs in
long fleecy masses." Their eyes were
affected by the glare, and they fe'lt them,
selves growing more and more lethargic.
“At length blood begun to flow from
our noses and ears.” says Capt. Laws m,
“and my head ached in a disstressing
manner. I saw that our only chance of
preserving life was to retreat without de
lay; for we were iu a pitiful plight. Our
lipeand gums, uud the skin of hands and
faces were cracked aud bleeding, and our
eves were bloodshot and awolen to an
alarming extent. The thermometer had
sunk to twenty-two degrees below the
freezing point, and the sir was so rarified
that wo were ga*|>fng ratliar tlmn breath
ini r>ni Rv| K*up, and
<!<• fonld ndt RWk them tif> Affniiii w> fio
nnmetl were our nrin. auil hantla. It was
! now 1 o'clock ami the srreateet elevation
we hail wttaiped *im 4 feetr”
They tli<£'tiirnr4 barkJ (lcafended to
the limit the iftmjv iu.cuioe lifuA, iintl
arriveiFat their (wnii'nTtW) lwi*e of tlie
mountain about balf-paetaeven in the eve
ning. Tliuh in fifteen hmir* ami a half,
they bad ascended an absolute height of
23.000 feet, t.i an elevation which we he
lieve i greater than any ever l>efore at
tained by man npon Ihe mirfnee of the
earth, although balloonist, have occu
aionaily gone higher.
These arti.wondiTfnl Siyiiea, au<l the
readers may desire to know whether we
altogether trust tn their authenticity and
aeon racy. The fresh, spirit, arid interes
ting narrative in which we have found
them is published by one of tho most re
s notable firms in London, and is put forth
as a genuine book of travels. The au
thor’s acoount ol the flora, the fauna, and
tho inhabitants of New Guinea, contains
milch that is marvelous, and that certainly
has hitherto been unknown and nnsns
peeted. Sumo of bis statements, also, are
difficult to reconcile with onr previously
acquired knowledge concerning the island.
Under these circumstances, bis narrative
is likely to be regarded much as we should
view tho testimony of a single, strange
wittfesa to a startling fact; we do not dis
believe it., but we should like to hear some
eorroberalive evidence. This will prob
ably lxs afforded by subsequent explora
tions.
An lowa Wonder.
lowa (imposes to rival Kentucky in tho
cave business, and with, apparently, a fair
prospect of success, if the accounts of an
immense subterranean gallery near Dubu
que are true. The cavo is entered from a
lead mine, and ono hundred and ten feet I
below the surface—a depth which would
seem great enough to prevent it from be
coming a popular resort with wonderseek
ers. One gallery of this eave is asserted
to be no less than 600 fee* long and 45
feet wide. Beautiful stalactites and sta
lagmites abouud, and sheets of spar bang
like curtains from above. Numerous
lukos abound in these underground hulls,
nml about the edges of then lakes is a
|>arry fringe, pointed and scalloped like
lace work. The stalagmite columns in
sumo (daces give the appearance of a vnst
cemetery; in others that of a forest done
in marble. From the ceutre of an island
iu ono of the lukes nrisu large numbers
of curious, fluted columns, as perfectly
executed ns if chiseled out by tinman iu
bor. Bo exteusivo and varied are the
shapes in some of the chambers that there
appear representations of fruits and ber
ries, garden vegetables, frosted cakes,
dishes and numerous other domestic arti
cles. From the description given the
cave seems certainly a wonder, and it but
remain’s for some enterprising individual
to erect a hostelry near the entrance, pro
vide means of douoeut and aacont and a
guide, and add another to the list of pop
ular rosorls for tourists in this country of
marvelous natural scenery.
Truo Female Nobility.
The woman, poor and homely as she
may lie, who balances her income and ex
penditures, who toils unrepining among
her well-trained children, and presents
them morning and evening, in rosy health
and cheerfnlness, as offerings of love to
her husband—who seeks the improvement
of their minds rather than the adornment
of their bodies—is the most exbalted of
her sex. Before her shall the proudest
bow his head, for tho bliss of a happy
heart is with her forever.
If there, is one prospect moro dear to
tho man than another, it is that of meet
ing at the door his smiling wife and croup
of happy children. How it stirs up the
blood of an exhausted man, when ho
hears the patter of little feet, on the stairs
when young voices mix in glad confusion,
and the youngest spring into his arms
with a mirthful shoot. Father Almighty,
“Thy glory shines around the group,
Thy smiles and Ucssiug hover there.”
Ther is no heart so utterly hardened
that it can not bo touched and melted by
woman’s love and tenderness.— Exchange.
What the Birds Said.
A gentleman whoso modesty was too
great for his happiness was one day going
through a wood with a lady, to whom ho
longed. hut feared to offer his hand ami
heart. Ho had schemed aud manaivcred
enough for ten diplomatists to draw her
away alone from the picnic where they had
met, and now he durst not speak out for
the life of him. But tho silence liad be
come embarrassing, and at lasthevcutured
upon a hint:
“Hark!" he cried, suddenly stopping,
“Do you not hear that beautiful bird bing
ing?"
“Yes," replied tho lady.
“Do you catch what it says?”
“No; I cannot say I do."
“Why it snys, ’I love you! I love yon!'
as plainly as possible ”
“Dear rao, how odd I" replied she and
they walked on a short distance. Pres
ently the lady, iu her turn, stopped aud
said:
“How funny! Do you hear what that
other bird says?"
"No what?” asked the man.
“Why, it seems to me to say, ‘Show it!
show it! show it!”
That was sufficient.
A Femam! Fienii.—Tho woman whose
uature is ns nearly fiendish ns it is possible
to conceive of lives at Bastrop, Lousiana.
I Her name is Luna McKee, and she is now
in prison upon the charge of murdering a
i small child. At her preliminary examina
tion the testimony indicated that she had
j taken a diabolical pleasure in killing the
■ child by inches, and, after the aceomplisli
; incut of the deed, to have felt no compunc
tions or any of the ordinary dislike of a
murderer to having the body of the victim
in any place to serve as a reminder. The
woman s own son, a little boy of twelve,
was the principal w itness against her. She
made this mere child dig up and move
the body of her victim two or three times
withiu the space of a week. She first bur
ied the murdered child in a garden, mid
when its disuqpeurauce liad excited com
ment and caused the institution of a search
she attracted the attention of the officers
to another point, she herself accompany
ing them, first telling her little son to dig
up the body iu their absence and hide it
in tho chimney. The boy performed
this task, and at night he was made to car
ry tho body to a cotton pen aud subse
quently to a thicket, where it was finally
discovered. During the course of the
trial, w ith her own sou giving such testi
mony of her atrocity, tho woman evinced
little feeling of any kind, passing through
, the entire ordeal with an unruffled de
meanor, From the account of her actions
and the undoubted quality of the testi
! mouv this creature would seem to possess
a nature rarely equalled for cold-blooded
j depravity and cruelty in oil the auiials of
j crime. She is worthy of immortality iu
some dismal romauoe', where au unsexed
j being with the spirit of a tigress is made
i a leading character. Eugene Sue never
drew a more repulsive portrait,
WHAT CHILDREN DO FOR US.
' I ■. ■* -
We hear a great deal about what parents
;do for their children, and the duty and
obedience which they owe them in couse-
Iqiiegeoi, but it in useful to us at times to
; loot at the other side of the question and
! see Wlixt cljldri u do for their parlji t*;
and not for their parents alone but for
| the world at large.
I Take the cases of unmarried men and
women who have no children, and w.
shall see what an utterly joyless world
this is to them—how destitute of ail the
saving influences which follow in the train
of e new-born cull'd.
It. is true that they do not always know
it; true that they sometimes congraulate
themselves upon the freedom which the
absence of responsibility gives them. But
what does this freedom do for them? If
they do not use it in curing for those who
have none to cure for them it simply in
closes them iu a wall of selfishness. It
allows them to indulge their own whims
and fancies to their own destruction, und
deprive them at the last of all the conso
lations, which spring from participation in
family life and a couciousness of duty well
performed.
Children arc realty all there is in life
worth living for. There are many other
things which are pleasant in it, tiiere aie
many things which give zest to it, there
ure many things which sgeni necessary as
a relief from the absorbing care which the
rearing of a family of children brings, but
present sufficient motive for continued
cffnrt or sacrifice; and if it were not for
children, therefore, much of our stimulus
to exertion would be taken away ami tin
most imperitive work of the world remain
unperformed.
Because the father supplies the food,
because the mother prepares it iu a man
lier sin table for the growth of their bodies,
wo consider all the obligation is on One
side. But to how many hungry hearts
h,B the love of a little child been nour
ishment and consulate and support? How
many would have fallen by indifference or
through temptation if the necessities of a
little child had not with held them.
People who avoid children for the sake
of getting rid of responsibility ttud in
time that they have missed tho pleasures
only, not the cures, and but a few of the
pains. Association with our fellows en
tails certain burdens and obligations upon
all of us, ami if wo have not voluntarily
assumed any of our own wo shall find
them thrust upon us and be obliged to
carry the weight without the happiness of
a strong incentive iu the nearest and dear- j
eat of earthly ties.
Children men and women may very
often console themselves with the reflect
ion that children are ns likely to turn out
ill as well; that, time and strength and mo
ney are frequently wastes) ipon them,
and, therefore, might as well be saved or
put to other use. But physical science
IS beginning to Glow us that cause and
effect act us directly in tho production of
tho human species as in any other phe
nomena of nature mid that cure and cul
tivation bestowed upon naturally good
qualities produce os fine results among
meu and women as upon a fruit farm.
If this were not the case, however, if
the results were dependent yipmi chance,
men and women, ought still to except tho
duty of rearing children for their hukph.
Tile woman knows nothing of the possi
bilities of her womanhood the mull of his
manhood, until they are discovered in the
strength of the love the efforts the sacri
fices (not felt as such) which are exercised
and made for little children.
Is there any pride equal to that which
the father feels in the growing datighU r?
Is there any love equal to that which the
mother knows when little hands clasp her
and a soft cheek lays its velvet against her
own?
Friends may grow cold, ambition may '
bo disappoi..tod. slanderous tongues may
poison your good name,and though all are j
felt more or less, yet home and the love
and confluence of children are a sure and
certain refuge, a harbor from the storm,
inexpressibly comforting and consoling to
the weary and abused tutu, and heartsore
and neglected woman.
But it is not for their simple faith and
trust alone that we should value children.
They deserve cultivation; they abundantly
require care and kindness, attention and
the forbearance which it. is necessary to
ward their immaturity and want of judge
ment. Our leisure, at least more of it.
should be given to them. We should
take pains to flud out what they think
that we may guide them aright aud teach
them to avoid the shoal and quicksands
upon which we perhaps have been stran
ded.—Health aiul Home.
A French Love Tragedy,
The wedding was to take place on
Christmas Day. Three weeks before that
date the affianced lmstmd sought out Min
nie and told her he had deceived himself;
that lie could not and would not abandon
her; that he loved her ten times more
than he ever could love the other woman.
Minnie was happy, and yet she was welch
ed. She declared she ought not to keep
him. Finally he told her that he did not
believe his betrothed really loved him.
This shook her resolution. " She said no
more. She determined, however, to see
and judge for herself. She had learned
where the fair Bostonian was residing,
and, making some iugenious excuse,
gained an interview without revealing her
true character. She found the American
lovely; that she was well uigli heart-broken
at the neglect of her lover; that she knew
lie had had a mistress; that she suspected
lie was still bound by his old attachment;
that she was tho barrier between her and
happiness. The grizette went away. She
saw the artist no more, but she wrote him
a long letter, telling him how much he
hud wronged the beautiful girl he w*s en
gaged to; that worshipped him and would
make him happy. Tho next day Minnie
was dead in her lodgings, asphyxiated by
charcoal. She had deliberately destroyed
herself to insure the happiness of another
woman, mid that woman her rival. —Paris

A Spelling Anecdote. —A spelling an
ecdote occurred at a recent session of a
United States District Court that deserves
a place iu print. A party of legal gentle
men, amongst whom was the judge of the
said court, were enjoying an evening to
gether, when the conversation turned
upon spelling. The judge thereupon
turned to a lawyer from Clarke couutv and
remarked:
“Major M , I understand yon dis
tinguished yourself at a spelling bee down
the Valley. ”
“Yes, sir; if misspelling the first word
distinguishes one," remarked the Mayor.
“And whnt was the word yon failed to
spell correctly, Major?” asked the Judge.
“Lily,” replied the Major.
| Ah, indeed," -said tho Judge iu sur*
prise. “That is a very simple word, and
any one ought to spell it,”
“Well, Judge, let us hear how yon spell
it," said the Major.
"L-i-l-l-y—lillv," said the Judge.
“That is just the way I spelt it,” said
the Major, laughing, “and they ruled me
out.”
The Judge good-naturedly bore np un
der the merriment he created by bis bad
spelling.— Ctniie Courier.
