f set’s Corner. The Malden and the Moon. BY JOHN O. SAXE.

0, Moon! did you sec My lore and me In the vale beneath the sycamore tree? Whatever befel, 0, Moon! don't tell—’Twas nothing amiss you know very well. n. 0, Moon! you know A long time ago, You left the fey and descended below Os a summer’s night, By your own sweet light, To meet your Endymicn on Latimos height in. And there, 0 Moon! You gave him a boon You wouldn't Im sure have grant'd at noon ’Twas nothing amiss Being only the blfes, Os giving—and taking—an innocent kiss. IV. Some churlish Idut Who was spying about, Went off and blabbed —and so it got out; But for all the gold The sea could hold, 0, Moon! 1 wouldn't have gone and told. ' v. So, Moon! don't tell Os what befel My lover and me in the leafy He is honest and true, And remember too, We only behaved like your lover and you. .

Wit, ; Comp.uiions-in-Arms —Twin ba- I bios. ' Shifting the responsibility— Dressing the baby. Motto for a bottle of hair-dye— Keep it dark. A senior wrangler—A wife old-! er than yourself. The enp that cheers but not in ebriates —The butter cup. Matters of moment ought to be ' described in a minute manner. A favorite tune of the milkmen —Shall we gather at the river ? What soup would cannibals prefer ? “Broth of a boy.’’ A good suggestion is like ing baby at a concert —It ought to , be carried out. Woman's rights—ls she cannot he captain of a ship, she may always command & smack. Prentice says man was the chief consideration at the creation— Woman was only a “side issue.” The Chaaleston Xens says “the policy -of Gen. Grant, has been about one-third smoke and twothirds negro.” ' ” .■ ' 1 Sambo, in speaking of the happiness of married people, said; “Dat ar’ ’pends altogeddcr how dey enjoys demselves.” Who wrote the most—Dickens, ; Warren, or tßulwer? Warren wrote “Now mid Then,” Bui wet wrote “Night and Morning,” and Dickens wrote “AH the Year, Round.”

“Mr. Smith, 1 wish to speak to you in private. Permit me to take i you apart for a few mtnutes.” “Certainly, sir, if you’ll promise! to put me together again.'’

“Harry, you ought not to throw away nice bread like that: you may want it som? day.” “Well, mother. would I stan I any better chance of getting it then if I should cat it now “Father," said a cobbler's boy. as he was pegging away at an old shoe, “they say that trout bite like erervt’dng now.” “Well,- well,’' replied the old gentleman, “stick to your work and they wont bite \ ou.” The new territorial seal of Wyoming bears an elk s head, a shield, a train of cars, and agricultural implements, artistically arranged, mid the dcvica is, “Let us Have Peace.” V hile other states arc growing so rapidly, lowa furnishes some remarkable spe--im -ns of growth. A weekly newspaper is published in Calhoun county in a settlement w here two ye:.rs ago was unbroken prairie. The mania for collecting buttons still rages in Vermont with una Irated fury. Miss Carrie Foster, of Vergennes, has collected a string of 1,970 different buttons within seven weeks,- several ot which were once on the coat of Col. Ellsworth, find two of which arc of revolutionary antecedents. A correspondent of the San Francisco Hulletin lias made a visit to the Hawaiian island of Molokai. and gives a Very interesting description oi it. The native pop illation is rapidly dying ont. and Ahe white-, who are increasing in numlwrs. are rather more degraded than those whom they super cede, _ „ A valuable lied of bloodstone has ju<t born discovered by Prof Shepherd, one mile from St. Marv, St. Geneveive county.

A Remarkable Escape. The Crockett (Tex.) Sentinel gives the following particularsone of the most remarkable escapes on record : “A week or so ago, Rev. Henry Jennings, colored, went from this place to Tyler, Smith county, and on his return he was caught in a thunder-sthrm. He was on horsebrek, and had a led horse tied to the tail of the horse he was riding. His horse became frightened, and he alighted and held him by the bridle,bit. While down, a tree near by by lightning, and himself and horse prostrated to the ground. When he recovered consciousness, his own and horse's head were lying together; the horse was cold and still in derth. The led horse was uninjured. Jennings had a silver watch melted in his pocket. This is one of the most miraculous escapes we ever knew of.”

The Power ol a Word. Another on the green hills of Vermont was holding by the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad with love of the sea. And as he stood by the garden gate one morning, she said : “Edward, they 1 tell me —for I never saw the ocI can—that the great temptation of a seaman's life is drink. Promise j me, before you quit your mother's hand that yon will never drink." ■ “And,’ said he, ( for he told me the l story,) “I gave the promise and I ; i went the globe over. Calcutta and ■ the Mediterranean, San Francisco, ' and Cape Good hope, the North Pole and the south. I saw them all in forty years, and 1 never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother's form by the gate ■ did not rise before me. and to-day I I am innocent of the taste of liq- * * I nor.

Was not that sweet evidence of the power of a single word? Yet that is not half. “For,'’ said he “yesterday there came into my counting-room a’ man of forty years. ‘.Do you know me “No!” “Well said he, I was once brought drunk into your presence on shipboard ; you were a passenger ; they kicked me aside: you took me to your berth and kept me there till I had slept off the intoxication ; you then asked if I had a mother; I said I had never known a wo.td from her lips. Y’ou told me of yours at the gardengate; and to-day I am master of One of the packets in New York, and I came to ask you to come and see me.” . 4 How far that little candle throws its beams! That mother’s words in the green hills of Vermont! Oh God be thanked for the mighty power of a single word. A gunpowder hammer, applied to pile drivings has been exhibited iiu Philadelphia. The cartridge contained one third of an ounce of gunpowder, the hammer weighed 6T5 pounds, and. the cylin leror gun 1,500 pounds. This was haded and fired 55 times in one minute and a quarter. The driving power is eight times as great as that of the steam hammer, and the speed ten times.

The Cuban bonds, to be put upon the market before lohg, arc made pavable “12 months after date of the independence of the republic of Cuba,” and are said to be secured by real estate in New York. White Pine is shipping 875,000 in bullion a week, and has recently discovered 49 new mines of great • I ~ <3 richness. * A stonn in lowa carried 4.000 feet of lumber a distance of three miles, tearing the boards to bits as they flew through the air.
