AT CHESS.
Above a checkered table they bent—
A man In his prime and a maiden fair,
Over whose polished and blue-veined blow
Rested no shadowy Unge of care.
Her eyes were fountains of sapphire light!
Her lips wore the curves of cheerful thought:
And into her gestures and into her smile
Grace and beauty their fraught.
Above the checkered table thov bent,
Watching the pieces, red and white,
A eaeh moved ou. in appointed course.
Through the mimic battle's steady fight—
The queen, in her stately, regal (>ower;
The king to her person friendly shield; #
The mitred bishop, with his support.
And the massive castle across the field ;
The pawn, In his slow and cautious pace,
A step at a time; and the mounted knight,
Vaulting, as gallant horseman of old,
To the right and left, and left and right.
But a single word the silence broke.
As they cleared aside the ruin and wreck
Of battle’s havock;and that word
Was the little monosyllable “check!"
Pawns and bishops and castles and knights
Tremble together in sad dismay,
While a pair of hearts were pulsing besides
To a deeper, wilder, sweeter play.
Yet the gaze of each—the man and the maid—
Ou the board was fastefied for turn of fate,
When she archly whispered, with radiant glance.
And a sparkling smile, “If you please, sir.
mate!"
And gently her fluttering triumph-hand,
As white as a flake of purest pearl.
She laid on the crown of her victor-king,
While the other toyd with a wanton curl.
He lifted the first to his smiling lips,
And on it imparted a trembling kiss;
And he murmured softly. "1 should not care
For losing the game could 1 win but this!"
What the maiden answered 'twere treason to tell,
As her blushes deepened to crimson glow,
Mounting, like ltghteuing-flashes quick.
Till they burned on cheeks aud ears and brow.
And in throe months' time the church bells rang.
And the parson finished the game begun,
When both wore the conqueror's triumph-smile,
Aud both were happy, for both had won.
FLORIDA NEW*.
—Tho Jacksonville, Fla., Press,
says three sleeping ears arrive daily,
Indicating the great increase in trav
el.
—Putnam county, Fla,, continues
to receive, with fraternal kindness,
now settlers, says the Palatka Herald.
—The Florida Agriculturist says:
“We have been presented by Judge
Du Pout with some excellent tobac
co, grown at his place near Quincy.
Tobacco groves promise to again
become a leading industry in that
part of the State. <
—Never in the history of Florida has
she excited the attention which she
is commanding the present year. It
would be reasonable lo estimate that
at least ten thousand families will
permanently locate within her bor
ders during the present winter. Tito
Indian River country is fast flliing
up.
—The Guardian says that Tampa
has shipped about 100,000 oranges.
Upon which the Palatka Herald says:
From our knowledge of that section,
we judge that this shipment is just
the beginning. Orange culture in
the neighborhood of Tampa is ex
tensive, and the increase of popula
tion down there will, in a few years,
make that beautiful Gulf port the
center of considerable commerce.
—A not very recent issue of the
Key West Hey" of the Gulf says: If
any are good judges of fruit, it should
bo" Key Westers. We pay yearly
from $33,000 to $40,000 for Imported
fruit, which we receive from Cozu
mel, Yucatan, Ruatan, and Utila,
from all ports in Cuba, from flic Ba
hamas. and in fact from all parts of
the West Indies; but the liiiost
bunches of bananas that ever were
exposed for sale in our city—the
largest, sweetest, and finest flavored
—were some sold by our friend, Mr.
E, O. Gwyn, on Monday last. They
were grown at Choekaluskee, Incur
State, and some of the bunches
brought only $2.
The Israelites. —The Jewish mer
chants of Roumania are gradually
being relieved of the hardships which
have been imposed them by the
government, acting in harmony with
traditional prejudices. Their only
grievance now is that they are not
permitted to acquire land, but the
advancing civilization of the ago may
lie expected ere long to sweep this
away.
An old widow lady, Christian by
profession, who died recently in Liv
erpool, has causer! something of a
sensation by bequeathing $20,000 to
I)r. Herman Baar, formerly a lecturer
in a Jews’ Synagogue in Liverpool,
and now a Hebrew teacher in New
Orleans, and the rest of her fortune
to a Jewish hospital in Jerusalem.
Her relatives threaten to contest the
will.
The Czar recently gave a young
Hebrew a commission in the Russian
army. It i3 the first instance in which
a Jew has been made an officer in
Russia.
Very few young men realize that
before the age of twenty-live the fix
tures and framework of their charac
ters are formed for life. Yet it is
almost always true. Let the years
from eighteen to twenty-five be de
voted to pleasure, idleness and dissi
pation, and the thoughts of that pe
riod will give the tinge to the whole
life-thoughts. ■ The vicious and cor
rupt thought will tinge the heart
with a darker hue long after the
memory has forgotten the cause.
The idle, vulgar joke and the obscene
speech will leave their foot-prints,
that will, render the tongue awkward
and silent when the heart, filled with
wisdom, would have spoken words of
truth and soberness.

THE MISSISSIPPI JETTIES.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS OF THE WORK
REPORT OF OAPT. EAD’S COMMISSION
OF ENGINEERS.
The commission of engineers called
by Capt. Eads to consider Ids (>laus
for constructing jetties at the mouth
of tile Mississippi have recently ex
amined the work in progress at the
South Pass. Gen. J. G. Barnard, Sir
Charles A. Hartley, W. Milnor Rob
erts, Prof. Henry Mitchell and H. D.
Whitcomb were present.
The commission consider tho pres
j cut an opportune moment to record
i its opinion. First, that tho physi
; cal characteristics of the delta and
l>ar cf the Mississippi and Danube
are similar in many important re
j speeds. Aud second, That, owing to
! the greater sea depth immediately
beyond the crest of its bar. to the
! existenoo of tide water, to the appa
rent greater abrading forces along
the coast, and to the extreme fine
ness of the sand of which the bur is
composed, the mouth of tho South
Pass of the Mississippi is more sus
ceptible of successful improvement,
notwithstanding the greater turbid
ity of its fluvial current, than was the
Suiinu mouth of the Danube, when,
in 1838, the construction of parallel
piers was commenced which secured
to the navigation of that river a
depth of 17J feet in 1801 and of 20J
feet ut the present time, or five feet
more than the works were originally
designed to obtain ; and this at the
mouth of a l iver-arm discharging less
] than one-third of tho volume of water
| discharged by tho South Pass.

Here winds are things almost un
! known, except tho trade winds, which
blow ever gently and steadily, with a
breath of balm and healing. Low
breezes whisper softly morning and
evening, rain drops with the softest
of touches and tho murmurof drowsy
surges alone breaks the stillness.
Tho great expanse of ocean is dis
turbed by litttle more than mere rip
ples. Tlic skies aro rose in tho morn
ing, gold in the cool evening, while
sails come and go no larger than but
terfly wiugs on the horizon. People
speak in hushed voices, aud move as
in a lethargy. Life is dead, and ex
istence little more than delicious lan
gour. Even the energetic foreigners
soon yield to the spell, aud becomes
as Tennyson's lotos eaters;
They sat them down upon the yellow sand
Between the bud and moon upon the shore;
And sweet it wan to dream of Fatherland,
* * ■* *; but evermore
Most weary seemed the sea, weary the oar.
Weary the wauderinfc field of barren loam;
Then some ouo said, “We will return no more."
Here everything in Nature is pro
fuse, fervid, passionate, vivified, and
pervaded by sunshine. The eartli is
restless in her productiveness, and
constantly repeats the miracle of Jo
nah’s gourd. All decay is quickly
concealed, and through the glowing
year, flower and bud, and fruit watch
each other, side by side, on the same
tree. Ferns are always uncurling
t heir frontis, bananas unfolding their
shining leaves, and spring continual
ly blends her promise with the ma
turity of summer. Is it wonderful,
then, the native pines ami dies when
away from his Pacific home, and that
even the foreigner who lias once tast
ed its delicious life luoks back with
longing to Hawaii ? Letter from Ha
waii.
Eamellas,
The cameliais one of tho most ad
mired exotics in our conservatories,
and when wo read lliat in its native I
countries, China and Japan, it forms
a good sized tree, and is often plant- S
ed in long rows along the borders of 1
highways, tlic imagination is aflame
with the conception of these elegant
avenues at the season of bloom. To
think of camelias as large ns maples,
and covered with red or white flowers
of peerles beauty! But a late writer
ruthlessly dispels the enchanting
vision. “Lovely as tho flowers of the
catnelia are singly." lie says, “the
tree itself in full bloom is by no
means an attractive sight. A catnelia
tree witli a thousand flowers ou it
might be supposed, with its compact
growth and its shiny leaves ol' rich
green, to be an exquisitely beautiful
object, but it is nothing of the sort.
The flowers, as they begin to fade,
get to be a dingy brown, and hang a
long time ou tho tree, and a cainelia
tree in full blossom has by far the
i largest proportion of its flowers witti
| ered and ugly. Asa flowering shrub
j the caraelia is not comparable to the
poiusotta, with Us mass of intense
scarlet bloom, looking like a richly
silken drapery hung on the brandies
of the tree; or to the datura. A da
tura shrub in full bloom, with its
thousand of pendant flower bells re
flected in a pool of water, is a thing
not soon to be forgotten.”

Nothing can be more superb than
the green of the Atlantic waves when
the circumstances are favorable to
the exhibition of the color. As long
as a wave remains unbroken no col
or appears, but when tile foam just
doubles over the crest, like an Al
pine snow cornice, under tho cor
nice we often see a display of the
most exquisite green. It is metallic
in its brilliancy, but the foam is nec
essary to its production. The foam
is first illuminated, and it scatters
the light in ail directions; the light
which passes through tho higher
portion of the wave alone reaches
the eye and gives to that portion its
matchless color. The folding of the
wave, producing ns it does a series of
longitudinal protuberances and fur-,
rows, which act like cylindrical len- ]
ses, introduces variations in the in- 1
tensity of the light, arid materially
enhances its beauty,—Tynduß’s Lee-1
turo.
“Old IKtztr."
Old Bozer, up on Pine street, is a
mean fattier. When one of his boys
asks him for a pair of skates he in
quires :
“My son, would you lay your life
down for me ?”
“Yes, father, I would,” is the re
ply-
“Then you can’t have the skates,
for to die for me would be wicked and
uncalled for!” says the father.
Then when the other boy asks for
a sled the father inquires:
"My son, Would you die for me?”
“No, sir,” promptly replies the boy.
“You wouldn’t, eh? Well, a boy
who wouldn’t die for his father docs
not deserve a sled, and you won’t get
one!”
And by working it that way Old
Bozer keeps the whole family on the
edge of ragged despair.—Detroit Free

Pottsville, I)ec. 4.- In oonsequouco
of tiie overstocked condition of the
Eastern markets, and tho close of
navigation, the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal and Iron Company will to
morrow direct the stoppage of thirty
of their forty collieries in this region,
the remaining ten having a produc
ing capacity of four thousand tons
daily to continue the supply to furna
ces aud railways. In this city about
flvo thousand men and boys are
thrown out of work. Twenty-live in
dividual colleries will also suspend
during the week. It is thought that
by December 15th the suspension
will be general, and that over ten
thousand people will be out of em
ployment in the Schuylkill region.
A prominent coal operator states
that the mines have beou very indus
trious since tho resumption last-June,
and have also been unusually eco
nomical, and that a great many of
them are prepared for the suspension
which may not last over two months,
though fears aro entertained that
work will not be resumed until
Spring.
The iron trade is continuing dull.
Orders have been issued by the
Reading Coal and Iron Company, to
stop work at their various ore mines,
where six hundred men aro now em
ployed. It is claimed that enough
ore has been mined and stocked
ready for shipping to supply all de
mands until Spring.

Such an acknowledgement places

though it requires an invasion of
Mexican territory, ami the sooner
they receive the condign punishment
