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.

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. ——• ♦ • - - l.iio in tlic hiinilwlrli Ixlauil*. 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.” The l.reen of Ihe Wuvex. 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 Press.

THE IMTiI E.M E OF CONTH.WTIOV Ruin, Idleness anil Mtarvatiim lulliiws Its Eiifnrecnu'til. 5,000 MEN OCT OF EMPLOYMENT. 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. IM.UMI . POSITION TOW AUD EUYPT. ANN KXATION SCHEMES.

Washington, Dec. 4.—Tho Repub lican this morning contains the fol lowing editorial remarks in relation to Mexico oatt-le stealing on the Rio Grande: “Mexico, by her continuous inactivity in respect to our border difficulties, lias impliod, by this ac knowledgement, that she is impotent to stay the mob which has for years disturbed the peace of our frontier. Such an acknowledgement places our Government at liberty to take these marauders in hand, even though it requires an invasion of Mexican territory, ami the sooner they receive the condign punishment so amply deserved, tho better satis faction it will give to both nations.
