All the world Is full of babies, Stbbing, sighing everywhere; Looking out with eyes of terror. Beating at the empty air. Do they see the strife before them, That they sob and tremble so ? Oh, the helpless, frightened babies— Mill they come, and still they go. All the world is full of children, Laughing over lit le jo s, Sighing over little trouble*, Fingt rs bruised and broken toys.

All the world is full of lowers, Walking slowh, whispering sweet; Dreaming dreams an-t buUdiug castles, That, must crumble at their feet ; Breaking vows and burning letters, Smiling, lest the wo id shall know, Oh. the foolish, trusting lovers— Still they come and still they go. All t he world is full of people, Hurrying, rushing, pushing by, Bearing burdens, carrying* crosses, Passing onward, with a sigh ; Some there are, with smiling faces, But with heavy hearts below, Ob, the sad-eyed, burdened cople, How they come and hv>w they go. .411 the earth is full of corpses ; Dust and bones laid there to rest, This the end that babes and children, Lovers, people find at best All then- fears, and all their crosses, All their sorrows wearing so, Oh, the silent, hapny corpses, Sleepinj soundly, low.

Mary’s Little Laml*. A writer in the Springfield Republi can has had a pleasant, interview with the real Mary who had a little lamb, and who related to him the incidents on which the immortal poem was based. The lamb wH* irtwin, thru t out the pen b,y i ts u 1 irntuv|il Mafty Tfffi u it diy grew into a great pet.

Aside from its mem or v tli re yet remains oi it the r sidue of a child’s stocking, which is gradually unriveling to furnish mementoes f r the many friends of Mary and her little lamb. Very Likely.

The ears of a Milwaukee audie ce sto(,d tight up the other night when the eloquent Professor Gunning rung out the following: “Time was when sloths of elephautine buik browsed the trees of Bouth America, and troops of mastodons and mammoths of more than elephantine hulk roamed over North America, and mammoths am* mammoth elks and tigers rid bears were in Eu - rpe.

The Discovery 01 the Cross. i he festival called the “ Invention of tlu* Gross,” instituted in honor of the finding id the cross in 320 by the Em press Helena, the mother of Constan tiue, is celebrated on the 3d of May. Tile story of the discovery is rented by Socrates. Sozotnen, Rnfinus, Theodoret, Pauiinus, Selpieius Severus, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, and Chrysostom ; but I. use hi us is silent regarding it When Helena visited the scenes about Jeru Siilem, it is said ;h it -<*yry trace of the i,r writs hai ’ been obliterated by the heathen, and a temple of Venus stond upou Mount Calvary; but a Jew, who had treasured up what traditions he could gather, pointed out the proba ble place of Christ’s sepulchre. The 4 he spot being excavated, three crosses were discovered, and the title which that of Jesus bore was found lying by itself. It is related that the cross of 'hrist was distinguished from the other two by miraculous cures wrought by touching it. A church was built over the spot, and a part of the saced relic was deposited in it ; a part was sent to Rome, and placed in the Church of Banta Croce in Gerus llemme, built to receive it, and the rest, was put by Constantine into the head of a statue of himself in Constantinople. The first was carried away by Chosroes, King of Persia, in Gl4, but was afterward recovered by the Emperor Herueiius. who restored it to its former place in U 29 In the time of the Crusades it was borne to battle by the Christians, and was captured by Saludin in lrß7. in his great victory near Tiberias.

Some months ago I met a young Eng lish woman who came to the city to marry a young man to whom she was affi tveed in En-Uand. and who had come to this country two years pievious to engage in business. Bhe was to marry him Jit the home of a friend of her mother’s.wish whom she was stopping. During the time -he was making up her wed iing outfit, he came to see her one evening ju.-t drunk eriong’ to be foul ish. she was sii a-ked and pained be yund measure. he then learned for the lir-t time tbit lie was in the habit of drinking to excess. She stopped her pro partition- and told him she could not m trry him. He protested that she would drive him to destruction ; promised never to dr ok another drop. etc. “No,’ she said, “I dare n<r tru-t my future happine s to a man who ha- i forme i such a habit.

In the year 1820, after all save one j of the band of patriots whose signatures are borne on the Declaration of Inde. pendence had descended to the tomb, and the venerable Carroll alone remain ed among the liviug, the government of he city of New York deputed a com mittee to wait on the illustrious surviv or and obtain from him, for deposit in the public hail of the city, a copy of the Declaration of 177 G, graced and authen ticated anew, with his sign manual. T he aged patriot yielded to the request, and affixed with his own hand to the copy of that instrument the grateful, solemn and pious supplemental declaration that follows: “ Grateful to Almighty God for the blessing which, through Jesus Christ our Lord, lie has conferred on my be loved country in her emancipation, and and on myself in permitting me, under circumstances of mercy, to live to the age of eighty .-nine years, and to survive the fiftieth year of American independ ence.and certify by my present signature my approbation of the Declaration of Independence adopted by Congress on the 4th of July, 1776, which l original ly subscribed on the second day of Au gust ol’the same year, und of which l am now the last surviving signer, I do hereby recommend to the present and future generations the principles of that important document as the best earthly inheritance their ancestors could bequeath to them, and pray that the civil and religious liberties they have secured to my country may be perpetuated to the remotest posterity and extended to the whole family of man Charles Carroll, of Carrolton. Aug. 2, 1826. TSie llngnents ii America, On the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685, at least 500.000 Hu guenots took refuge in foreign countries. From this :ime, f r many years, their cause was vs mplctely broken in France In 1705 there was not a single organized congregation of Huguenots le*t in all France. So early as 1555, C< ligni at t minted, but without success, to estab lish a Huguenot co ! ony in Brazil. In 1562 he mot out two ships, under the command of Jean llibault, on a voyage of exploration to Florida, but the at tempt to establish a colony was unsue e ssiel. Many departed for North America even before the revocation of the edict of Nantes. Some settled in and around Amsterdam, now New York, where their family names are frequent. Others found homes in Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Virginia But South Carolina was their favorite resting place, and a large number of the fore most families in that State are of Hu guenot. origin. This class of immigrants has contributed, in proportion to its numbers, a vast share to the culture and prosperity of the United States. Wherever they settled they were noted for severe morality, great charity, and politeness and elegance of manners. Of seven Presidents who directed the deliberations ot the Congress of Phila delphia during the Revolution, three, Henry Laurens, John Jay a°d Elias Boudinot, were of Hugueiot parentage. .. Titc Wonders of a Flea. When a flea is made to appear as large as an elephant, we can see all the wonderful parts of its formation, and a r e astonished to find that it his a coat ot armor much more complete than ever a warrior wore, and composed of strong, polished plates, fided over each oth .r, each plate cove ed like a tortoise shell, and where they meet hundreds of strong quills project like those on the back of a porcupine and hedge hog. There is the arched neck, the bright eye, the transparent cases, the piercers to punc ture the skin, a sucker to draw the blood, six long jointed legs, four of which are folded on the breast, all ready at any moment to tie thrown out with tremendous force for that jump which bothers one when they want to catch him, and at the end of each leg hooked claws to enable him to cling to whatever he lights upon. A ilea can jump a hundred tiin s its own length, which is the same as P a man jumped 600 feet, and he can draw a load 200 times its own weight. An interesting account of a number ot Chinamen employed as farmers in Chicot county, Arkansas, is given. 1 hey are reported as being most service able as tenants, and display fine ability as farmers. The terms usually made ate one hundred pounds of lint cotton to the acre, tne- planter furnishing a mule with which to cultivate the crop.
