PALACE OF CLOUDS.
,%
Wl.on the lus i’j&au ampory dreot,
Liko a shallow of Gad, floated down to Ihu AVast
I saw a ?trang, hoautiful arh>G
On an felfttul ofHghtiu the sapphire skio*.
A palitco of cloudsj in a moment it grow,
On tin inland of ponrls in an ocean ef bluo,
And spirits of twilight enticed ono to etray
t hrough tl.o oloud realms, roared from the ruins
of day.
In musical numbers the soft runret ntr,
l ike a gdhlen-tongued angel, eoemod calling me
the i o,
And my fancy Fjmdon, till it found n rarohomo,
A palace of jn.inor with emerald dome,
On a violet f Iran cl by a wide azure flood,
And whore the bright palaco of son ?©t now stood,
Wo thought some stray seraph had broken a bar
From the gold gates of E<lon, and left thorn ajar.
There wore cmetbyst windows, whoso frame
work soemod spun
From flro drawn out from iko heart of tho sun,
Columns of amber ana fountains of light,-
V, T ' m --ar-iwup vast shadows, so ehangingly

if > weave in her gridlo of rainbow, I vroon;
/.r.d atelier of glory appeared o’or mo there,
A a those fountains of sun set shot up through the
air.
Whilo I looked from my cloudp illarM palaco
afar,
J saw night Ist fall one vast lremulou3 star
On the calm brow of even, whe.fthcn, in re tarn
Per the gem on her brow and tho dew in her urn
i-iwmed draping the darkness and hiding her
gloom
Whilo tho rose colored mantle that fell fromhor
loom,
All bordered with purple and violet dyes,
Ploating out like a fringe from tho veil of tho
skies.
And lo! fan away on tho borders of Night
Rose a chain of cloud-mountains, so tvondrous’y
bright,
They seemed built of those atom3 of splendor
i that start
Through the depth of tho diamond’s crystallise
heart/ ’
"When light,, with her magical toucii, I; alii re
vealed,
The treasure of beams in its bosom ccneoaled,
And torrents of azure, all graoeful and proud,
Floated noiselessly down from Those mountains
of cloud.
But the tide of tho darkness came on with its
flood.
And broke o’er tho strand where my frail palaco
stood.
■While far in the disianco tho moon seemed to
lave,
Like a silver winged swan in the Night’s ebon
wave;
And then—like Atlantis, that islo of tho blest,
Which,, in olden time, sank ’ncath the ocean to
rest,
(Which still tho blue waters in mystery shrouds)
Dropped down in the darkness this palaco of
clouds.

To Prevent Splitting op Handles. —
Saw or out off tho round end of the han

few small nails on the top of it two round
disks of sola leather, so that the end be

two thicknesses of leather will prevent
all further splitting, and if in the course
of time they expand and overlap tho
weed of the handle, they are simnly
trimmed off all around.
Driving Screws into Hard Wood.—
A correspondent of an English journal
Writes: “Having lately had occasion to
screw together two pieces of ebony, I
made use of the following dodge, which
was perfectly successful. I filed a fiat
about , 3 4 in, long on the side of a com
mon wood screw, commencing at the
point. This cut the wood, and formed
a thread in the same way that a tap
would have done. Having previously
had difficulty in getting screws to hold
in box and other hard woods, I send tho
above wrinldo for tho benefit of my bro
ther amateurs.”
Patronize your Home Merchants.
To nil onr people wo commend tho
following rules which have been
deemed so suggestive that merchants
in other places have united in caus
ing their publication ns an adver
tisement:
First. It is your homo; you can
not improve it much by taking money
aivay to spend or liar vest.
Second. There is no way of im
proving a place so much as by on
courarrinff good merchant?, good
schools, and good people settle
among you—spend your money at,
home.
Third. Spend your money at
home, because that’s where you gen
erally earn it; it is your duty.
Fourth. Spend your money at
homo, because when it Is necessary
for you to get credit, it i3 of your
own town merchants you have gen
erally to get it, and, spend it at
home.
Fifth. Spend you money at home.
It will make belter merchants of
your merchants; they can and will
keep better assortments, and sell at
lower rates than if tho only business
they can do is what Is credited out,
while the money goes to other cities.
Sixth. Spend your money at homo.
"iou may have sons growing up who
will some day bo the best merchants
in tho city; help lay tho foundation
for them now; it is a duty; it may be
your pride in after years to say: “By
mj trading at the store I got my son
a position as clerk, and now lie is
proprietor,’ then you will think it
hard if your neighbors spend their
money out of town. Set the example
now.
Seventh. Spend your money at
home. Sot the example and this soa
- son try and buy dry goods, groce
ries, meats and everything at home,
and you will see a wonderful change
in the business outlook of the place;
therefore, deal with your merchants.
The Cholera a Periodical Epi
demic.—Tho year 1156 marks the re
cognition of periodically returning
twelve-yearly epidemics, connectdd
with the great twelve-yeariy Hindoo
festivals at tho great temples. The
great twelve-yearly epidemics of 1156,
lIGB and 1781, have been well de
scribed by Paisley and others. Three
times twelve, or thirty-six years sub
sequently, thc| great historical epi
demic and that of 1811. This epi
demic and that of 1811 were distinct
ly Juggernaut-pilgrim cholera. In
1826 the first indications of another
pestilence appeared in the north of
India: epidemic cholera broke out in
Huruwai.*, the groat piaco of pilgrim,
ago at the source of tho b-rsgc".
where it issues from the foot of tho
Himalaya mountains. A fov; hun
dred thousand pilgrims go to Hurd
war every year; more every third
year; still more every sixth and ninth
years, and fully 3,000,000 assemble
every twelfth year, and a vaster num
ber every sixtieth year. The cholera
of 1826 was carried all over the
world. In Now Orleans alone, out
of a population of 55,000, 6,000 died.
Tho last great twelve-yearly epidem
ic commenced in India in 1505, and
reached the United States in 1866.
If this periodical theory is correct,
the next cholera epidemic will be a
Juggernaut one in 1817, supplemen
ted by a Hurd war cholera in 1819;
although the constant intercourse of
Russia with Central Asia may be the
means of introducing tho lesser epi -
demic into Europe. But in 1 871 and
1819 we may expect an outburst of
the disease, such as there was in
1181 and 3 783, 1817 and 1819, 1820
and IS3I, 1811 and 1813, 1853 and
1855, and 1865 and 1860. — Apple

]biOKKssoa Randolph, in a lengthy
paper on the sun says: A molten
or white hot mass, 850,000 miles
in diameter, equalling in bulkl
-200,000 worlds like our own, hav
ing a surrounding ocean of gas on
tiro, 50,000 miles deep, tongues of
flames darting upward moro than
50.000 miles, volcanic forces that
burl into tho solar atmosphere lu
minous matter to the height of 1 00.-
000 miles, drawing to itself all the
worlds belonging to our family of
planets, and holding them all in
their proper places; attracting with
such superior forco the millions o*
solid and stray masses that arc
wandering in tho fathomless abyss
that they rush helplessly toward
him, and foil into his fiery embrace.
And thus ho continues his sub
lime and restless march through his
orbit, having a period of more than

In tho face of the great Ralston

capital of $18,150,000. Two will

other $3,750,000. The third is or
ganized for the ostensible purpose
of mining quicksilver, investing
$5,000,000. Meanwhile, a mountain
of sulphur has been discovered in
Humboldt county, Nevada, only
thirty miles off the line of the Cen
tral Pacific road. It is represented
as a solid mass of brimstone, 02 to

we fear tho miners have struck tho

Boutwell says that “General
Grant will stand in history among
the six generals whose names are
mentioned in history.” So, accor
ding to this precious historian, the
world never produced but five gen
erals -whose names are known
peers to Grant, One was, of course.
Alexander the Great, who died re
gretting that there were no more
worlds to conquer—from the effect
of a drunken debauch; Julius Cea
sar, who passed the Rubicon, de
stroyed the liberties of his country,
and establislred an empire upon the
ruins of the Republic; Hannibal
who acted under the inspiration of
hate against Rome, by which he
was sworn by bis father 1 Hamil
car must be another exarapl e.
Here we have three candidates for
favors among the ancients.. "Who
are the three among the mod
erns ? They must refer ,to Charle
mange and Napoleon. But where
is Frederick the Great? Where is
Marlborough ? Where is Washing
ton? Where are the very large
number of persons who have ob
tained superiority in anus? What
impudence to compare Grant with
those conquerors of the past!-

A Paris correspondent writes:
“All the ladies wear n medal or a
cross, attached to a ribbon, round
their necks. On close inspection I
saw that these medals and crosses
were the same as given to distin
guished men for services rendered
to their country on the battle field.
On inquiry, also, I ascertained that
they were in reality tho medals
and cresses of the husbands of the
ladies who wore them, and that it
was now the fashion of all ladies to
show in this way that their hus
bands are decorated. ‘So’ they
say, ‘we are sure at least that this
fashion will not be copied by the
vulgar.”
Gen. Ewing, of Ohio, character
izes the hard money howl as a “de
