THE NIGHTINGALE. • BY CELIA THAXTER. There is a bird, * plain, brown bird, That dwells in lands afar, "Whose wild, delicious song is heard With evening’s first white star. When, dewy-fresh and still, the night Steals to the waiting world. And the new moon glitters silver bright, And the fluttering winds are furled; When the balm of summer is in the air, And the deep rose breathes of musk, And there comes a waft of blossoms fair Through the enchanted dusk; Then breaks the silence a heavenly strain, And thrills the quiet night With a rich and wonderful refrain, A rapture of delight. All listeners that rare music hail, All whisper softly: “ Hark! It is the matchless nightingale Sweet-singing in the dark.” He has no pride of feathers fine; Unconscious, too, is he, That welcomed as a thing divine Is his clear minstrelsy. But from the fullness of his heart His happy carol pours; Beyond alipraise, above all art, His song to heaven soars. And through the whole wide world his fame Is sounded far and near; Men love to si>eak his very name; That brown bird is so dear.

A RED MITTEN.

It was the afternoon of a clear, sharp January day of 1861, and the company numbered fully 200; there were men and; women, boys and girls flying and circling about, in masses, singly, by dozens and by twos and threes, over the frozen surface of the beautiful Silver lake in Rockdale, a suburb of the flourishing city of B. New England is dotted witli these small bodies of water, and it is astounding to recount what a surprising number bear the name of Silver. And so on Silver lake this goodly company was disporting itself with all the gayety and zest the keen, bracing air and exhilarating sport combined to produce. Among the crowd were many lads and lasses who imagined they were fond of skating, and came to Silver lake for no other reason. It was singular, too, to note how much more gracefully the “ outward roll,” backward or forward, can be accomplished by joining hands or being linked together by a walkingstick. These sticks in some instances proved no non-conductors to the sympathetic thrill that pervaded the magnets at either end. The positive and negative conditions were fully realized in the case of brawny John Horton and rosy-cheeked Abbie Latham, the daughter of the ’Squire. She, with her plump, comely figure and fresh, handsome face, lit up by a pair of laughing blue eyes, could have led awkward John, on or off skates, anywhere, with an apron string or a thread for a conductor. Not so with John. He could lead her nowhere; and the more the girl could balk and tantalize him, the more she seemed to enjoy the skating and his company. Many a ludicrous figure he cut, and many an awkward fall he endured by her sudden and unaccountable turns and shiftings, and her mirth and glee were at the highest at John’s repeated failures to follow her difficult and tortuous windings. John was overgrown and massive, his twenty yews of existence not having yet served to properly knit together and round out the proportions of his frame. She was lithe and quick, and as graceful as she was skillful in the use of skates. Apart from the throng this afternoon John espied a little red mitten lying on the ice where it had been dropped by some one of the numerous children. Mips Abbie saw it, too, and as John, by one of his graceful movements, essayed to 6toop and capture the article she refused to release his hand; but, just as he bent forward, she gave a wicked pull, and John, unbalanced, was sent sprawling a rod or two beyond. A peal of silvery laughter was her sympathetic comment, as with a graceful curve she turned and caught the tiny thing in her hand.

AAaixii. John blushed at his awkwardness, and held out his hand to receive the mitten. But the captor only held it before him, and gently moved away. “Won’t you give it to me?” he asked. “I will find the owner.” “I can find the owner more easily than you. I can’t trust you; you would fall and crush the poor thing in trying to deliver it.” And she saucily laughed again. “You made me fall,” said John in a grieved tone. “You are always doing these things. If I skated more and studied less I’d soon be as much an adept as your friend Joe Staples, whom you are always praising.” "You? Ha, ha, ha! As graceful as Joe Staples!” and the hilarity of the young maiden made John Horton’s sluggish blood course through his veins till his face was as red M»the scarlet kercliief that encircled liiWieck. AH the rest of that afternoon John was gloomy* and silent. He moved around mechanically, or rather automatically, anti his companion concluded to serve no more tricks upon him. The sport finished the two wended their way to the house of Mr. Latham, John’s fair companion failing to rally him into anything like conversation. He answered her only in monosyllables, and seemed morose and preoccupied. As he was about to take his leave, John said seriously and a little sarcastically, “ Abbie, I’m going back to college to-morrow, and I hope you will enjoy the rest of the skating season in companionship more graceful than mine.” “I hope I shall,” replied she in the same tone. “You must feel bad about something; perhaps it’s the mitten; you had better take it, no, not now—-I won’t give it up. If I ever think enough of you to surrender it, I’ll send it to you express.” - -And then she smiled on John, with rare sweetness, but John had seen that smile before, and felt she was only mocking him. So with a solemn goodnight he buttoned his coat close to his chin and, with hands resolutely thrust into his pockets, turned homeward, resolved to waste no more time with skating girls, who judged young men by the dexterity they exhibited in handling their heels.

IL Among the earliest volunteer regiments that left for the seat of war in the summer of‘lß6l was the —th Massachusetts, with Lieut. John Horton as an officer of Company B. Like hundreds of others he abandoned his books for the kword, and had passed nights and days in study and drill, to fit himself for his new position. Horton enjoyed the reputation among his fellows of being rather an anchorite. He was reticent, sometimes gloomy, and, although he performed his duties acceptably, he had thus far failed to show any distinguishing qualities for a military career. He joined in few of the camp pleasures, and when he was not on duty, reading or studying, was sure to be seen in abstract thought, walking about the streets of the camp, or in the region of country immediately around. Christmas and New Year’s in camp formed one of the brightest seasons to the hard-worked soldier in the years of the Rebellion. Though the quantity of useful and use- > less articles dispatched from home was at all times great, the bulk of contributions arriving at this festive season sorely tried the carrying capacity of all engaged in supplying the army at the front. And the occasions of opening the boxes and bundles among both officers apfl,privates were most interesting and exciting, ‘ The officers of the —th

had arranged to have an “opening” in the Colonel’s quarters, and thither all who were not on duty repaired. The evening was of course most enjoyable, for nearly every one had received from home some gift or token to remind him of a mother, sister or sweetheart, sometimes of all three. Horton was present, cool, gloomy, and indifferent. He did not expect any present. His family was scattered, and many of. those nearest to him to whose loving sympathy he would naturally turn at this time hail passed away. He did not feel in a sentimental or sympathetic mood, and yet'no particle of envy entered his mind in witnessing the enjoyment of others. As the Major held up. a small paper box, however, and called out “Lieut. John W. Horton,” the latter started and felt his face aglow in an instant. He took the parcel, and, in spite of entreaties in which not a few jokes were cracked at his expense, placed it in his pocket till the conclusion of the festivities, when he retired to the comfortable quarters he shared with Lieut. Carter. Lieut. Horton was puzzled and curious. After divesting himself of his overcoat he sat down, placed the box on the table, and in company with his companion lighted the solacing dudeen, determined to approach and unravel the mystery as liecame a philosopher. Carter got decidedly impatient before even the outer wrappings were removed, as Horton conducted proceedings with weighty deliberation. At last Horton shook from the box a little red mitten snugly wrapped in a piece of •white tissue paper. No note of explanation appeared, and Horton met his companion’s gaze with a look in which were pictured at least half a dozen of the emotions that affect the human mind, the principal one being surprise.

in. For the next three evenings our hero was engaged in writing letters—or rather a letter—for no sooner was each one completed than it was torn to pieces and burned. Horton felt himself in a tight fix, and hoped the enemy would make a demonstration on the camp that he might get out of it. He had rather face a hundred cannon than undertake to acknowledge the reception of that mitten. He knew he had loved Miss Latham, but his big, sensitive soul had been terribly lacerated by her apparently heartless behavior, and he had concluded to become indifferent, not only to her, but to all womankind. This might be another of her heartless tricks, but when Jack recalled her words, “If I ever think enough of you to surrender it, I’ll send it to you,” he felt the little witch did entertain some regard for him. Still, as she had vouchsafed no kind of message with the surrender of the mitten, he was at a loss how to act. Write he could not. “If I asked Carter’s advice,” he reasoned, “he would only laugh at me. Why can’t those plaguey women let a fellow alone, anyway?” he muttered to himself. “I was trying to forget her—and now she has opened all my wounds afresh. She did it to tantalize me, but I’ll show the flirt and the whole sex that I can’t be tantalized.” And then Jack took from his inner pocket an envelope, out of which he fished a little red object, on which he gazed for a few moments as a naturalist might gaze upon a newly-dis-covered insect, with mingled curiosity and tenderness. The soldier sighed as he replaced the trifle, and, going to the door of his tent, gazed out into the darkness. The evening was mild and calm, and the darkness almost impenetrable. Scarcely a sound disturbed the sleeping camps, and, as’t he enemy across the Potomac were believed to intend no hostile demonstration, the utmost precaution had not been taken to guard against surprise. As Jack stood gazing into the darkness a succession of flashes lit up the gloom and the sharp report of small arms broke the stillness. “ Hello! here’s for fun!” exclaimed Jack, as he rushed for his accoutrements. The long roll called the men into line, and in a few moments the regiment was prepared to receive the enemy. Being one of the officers at hand, Lieut. Horton was ordered by the Colonel to go forward with •i detail of men and ascertain the trim state of affairs. Our pickets were retreating, the firing being answered by stray shots from the enemy; no judgment of their numbers could be formed, but our panic-stricken pickets reported them to be 10,000 strong at least. Horton determined to keep cool and ascertain for himself the number of the enemy. He had had little experience of fighting as yet, and his position was by ‘no means a pleasant one. In this maneuver his excellent judgment ’ was proved, for, after studying the situation, as it was prudent, he hastened to and informed him that they consisted of not more than a regiment of infantry moving directly for the camp. A hot skirmish ensued, the fight lasting for an hour or two. The demonstration closed with the retreat of the enemy, on whose heels Lieut. Horton, whose fighting blood was up, hung with a tenacity that astonished his brother officers. Jack braved danger with a coolness that was amazing, and directed the fire of his men where it would do the most good. It was his ambition to i capture somebody or something, and he j did, a Confederate Captain and two privates, who were “surrounded” by himself and one of his soldiers. But Jack, fired by his success, rashly pressed ahead for more human plunder, | when he was laid low by a ballet through the shouldi .

iv. Jack Horton was the hero of that night, and was mentioned in the commander’s report for his coolness, correct judgment and unflinching bravery. It needed just such an occasion as this to bring out what was in the man, but Jack was modest and didn’t presume he had done more than he ought. His wound was a painful one, and in a few days he was on his way to Rockdale, where the reports of his achievements had preceded him. Jack couldn’t help feeling a little curious about how Miss Abbie would greet him if he chanced to meet her. He hadn’t the remotest idea of calling on her, however. Jlis time was his country’s, and his leisure moments were passed, even in those invalid days, in the study of military tactics. He did not want to be made a lion of; did not pretend to resemble that noble animal in the least. So he stayed at home and studied his books. Just before his return to the army he attended a fair at Rockdale in aid of the soldiers. The young ladies were the principal attractions at this, as at. all fairs; and among the young ladies none were more attractive than Miss Abbie Latham. She drove a remarka-bly-successful buslhess at the flower stand, one of her principal patrons being Mr. Joseph Staples, who purchased at least half her* stock, and distributed it with a lavish hand. He had not gone to war, but had at least, and without compulsion, hired a substitute. His patriotism was ardent, as he assured Miss Abbie, but there were other attractions nearer home. Certainly, Lieut. Horton could but pay his respects to Miss Abbie. His face was paler and his form had become more trim and manly than when she last saw him. His features, Abbie noticed, bore an expression of sadness and suffering; he moved without awkwardness, and all the young ladies declared him to be the handsomest soldier in the hall. He won the sword that was voted

for on this occasion, as he deserved to. Jack’s heart throbbed a little as he met the gaze of the young lady; but if he felt any emotion it must have been slight; she was very busy with her customers, and especially with’ her wholesale patron, Mr. Staples, yet, .as the Lieutenant bade her good-evening and turned away he saw her eyes drop and a faint flush steal over her cheeks. For two old friends so long separated the meeting was decidedly cold and formal, and Jack was chilled to the marrow. In the stirring events of the next two vears Horton bore his full share—at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Antietam, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, down to Cold Harbor, where, at the head of his regiment, he fell, desperately wounded, in the terrible and unsuccessful assault on that stronghold He was conveyed to the hospital at Washington in a seemingly senseless condition, with several wounds, each of which was dangerous. The nurses moved among the wounded men like angels of mercy. Some of the soldiers lay in a stupor, some were raving with delirium, and others dying in agony. For days Horton’s life hung on a thread, his fevered brain mercifully rendering him unconscious of suffering, As he awoke one morning a soft and gentle hand was soothing his brow, when the dampness indicated that the fever was broken. He tried to open his eyes, but was too weak; speak "he could not; and many hours passed before he could discernwhat was around him. Since the night of the Cold Harbor fight his life had been a blank. He remembered nothing. And now he saw before him the physician and the nurse, with a sweet, pale face, that looked familiar, but he could not recall the name of its owner. Again trying to speak, the surgeon kindly whispered, “Keep perfectly quiet and all will be well,” and the female attendant, at his motion, withdrew. The next morning his dim vision discerned the same pale and anxious face; and a gleam of wondering inquiry passed over liis countenance as he gazed upon her. At last he feebly whispered, “Whore am I?” “In the hospital, and with friends,” she gently answered. He would h ive spoken more, but she withdrew. The next day he was stronger, and he asked, “Where have I seen you ?” At a sign from the physician the nurse answered: “At your old home. Don’t you know me? I am Abbie Latham. You are getting better now, and will soon be well.” Jack was strong enough to begin to collect his thoughts, which were, of course, at once concentrated on his nurse. He improved wonderfully under her care, and one bright morning occurred the last conversation we shall record in this romantic sketch. Miss Latham was sitting by the side of his cot, arranging a bouquet. The wounded man had begun to feel like his old self, and permission was given him to converse'till he desired. “How long have you been in the hospital, Abbie?” “More than a year,” she replied in a sweet, womanly voice. Jack thought he had never beheld a fairer creature.' If she was beautiful as a girl, the scenes she had witnessed had touched and chastened all that was lovable and womanly in her nature. She was no longer a girl—she was a tender, thoughtful woman. “You have saved my life,” said Jack, his eyes filling with tears. “No, no. Your strength has triumphed. I have done what little I could. Oh, you w'ere so terribly hurt!” And here her eyes filled and her bosom heaved as she took his hand and gently pushed the brown curling locks away from his forehead. Jack had never felt so happy before in his life, despite the solemn character of the conversation. “I can never repay you, Abbie. I’m only sorry for that. But if I only dared hope—” “Perhaps you can, Jack,” she replied, with the sweetest and most confiding smile. “I found something in your invest pocket which has paid me already.” And she took from a bloodstained envelope the little red mitten. “Then you knew by that token that I had loved—at least, had never forgotten you,” said Jack, who was a little confused. “Yes; and, if my woman’s sense had not told me, your talk in delirium would ' have proved it.” Jack mentally thanked Heaven that | he had been crazy. “But, Jack, why didn’t you answer my letter ? It was cruel of you.” “Your letter?” “Yes, the one I sent by post to apprise you of my present. Mr. Staples took it to the office.” “And I never received it! Do you suppose that fellow was mean enough to-” “No, dear Jack, don’t get excited. Let us suppose nothing. All’s well that ends well.” , The little red mitten is a treasured relic in the Horton family, and it has been a wondering question to several cherubs that gladden the household why mamma has never knitted a mate for it.

Origin of Sabbath Schools.

It is generally conceded that Robert Raikes, of Gloucester, England, then publisher and editor of the Gloucester Journal, was the prime mover in the organization of Sunday schools, which, during the past hundred years, and for the most part only within the last sixty years, have extended to all parts of the civilized world. It is true that the first school started by him, in a hired room in Gloucester, in 1781, differed from the Sunday schools of the present time in being only for poor children, that it was taught by hired teachers, and was for instruction in reading, writing and other secular studies. So were most of the schools which, through his leadership, were soon after this established in nearly all the towns of England, so that in 1789 there were about 300,000 children in such schools. From that time to this the Sunday-school work has taken rank among the great progressive movements of the times, and the chief honor of setting this movement on foot will always be ascribed to Raikes. Yet it is true that there were Sunday schools long before Raikes opened his school. Both Martin Luther and John Knox were instrumental in establishing schools taught on Sunday. Religious instruction on Sunday, especially in the catechism, was given by parish priests in England. John Wesley established a Sunday school in Savannah, Ga., the first one in what is now the United States, in 1737, or nearly fifty years before Raikes’ work began. In 1786 Bishop Asbury, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized a number of free Sabbath schools. This was about the time that Robert Raikes was stirring all England on this subject. In 1791, the Philadelphia society for the institution and support of Sunday schools was organized by such spirits as Dr. Rush, Bishop White and Matthew Carty. From this time such schools multiplied gradually in this country in the cities and large towns. Nearly twenty years passed before most of the Protestant churches adopted the plan of the free Sunday school, for all the children of the church,"and made it, as it is now, a component part, as-it were, of each religious society. Sunday-school lesionhelps, after the same general pla tas now in use, were introduced in 1866,

THE STAR-ROUTE TRIALS.

Conclusion of the Long and Tedious Case. Judge Wylie’s Strong Charge to the Jury. [Washington Telegram (Sept 8) to Chicago Tribune.] Judge Wylie’s charge to the jury in the star-route cases was very strong on behalf of the Government It was clear that the Judge, at least, thinks that the jury will be without excuse if they shall disagree or bring in a verdict of not guilty. Thus far they have only been able to agree as to one of the defendants (presumably Turner, and that he is not guilty), but this is only an inference. They have been remanded to their quarters until to-morrow at 10 o’clock. The Judge’s . charge and the answers to the exceptions of the defense to the charge occupied a session of five continuous hours. Judge ’Wylie is a modal of judicial calmness and deliberation. His charge was entirely free from passion, but was to the impartial listener resistless in its logic, and, if the technical lawyers may claim that he too strongly put the arguments for the Government, laymen admit that he spoke the words of truth and common sense. Those who have not heard the testimony in the star-route cases cannot read the charge of Judge Wylie without coming to the conclusion that the Government’s case at least ought to prevail, and that the conspiracy was established. The law of conspiracy was made much simpler than the mystifying arguments of the counsel for the defense had made it, and the dust which they had raised as to the question of overt acts was fully laid. He maintained that, strongly as the defense had resisted such proposition, the conspiracy might be proved by the overt act as its consequence, even if the conspiracy itself could not technically be established, and he charged that,if one overt act of the vast number contained In the more than fifty printed pages in which they were scheduled should be sustained, the conspiracy would be established. As to the question of proof, Judge Wylie made it much easier for the jury to prove the conspiracy and the existence of the overt acts than it seemed possible after listening to the arguments of the defendants’ counsel. Yet he was entirely just to the defense. He insisted in the broadest manner that every juryman, in his own conscience, must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the guilt or the accused. While at the same time maintaining that the Judge is condemned who allows the wicked to escape, he talked as a practical man to practical men, and made no show of learning, and, in the discussion of the legal elements of conspiracy, made the matter so simple that the most ignorant juryman could have no excuse for not understanding him. As a sample of the evidence he took up one route—that from Vermilion to Sioux Falls, which, although one of the smaller routes, shows in the clearest possible manner the scope and purpose of the conspiracy. It shows, too, better than some of them", how great a pretense it is for the defense to claim that they are not responsible for their acts, since they were recommended bv Congressmen. Upon this subject Judge Wylie showed greater indignation than in any other part of the charge. He declared, with great emphasis, that an executive officer is governed by the law, and not by the will of a Congressman or of the General of the army, and that a Congressman was no more to be respected out of office seeking his own ends than any other man. His criticism upon Gen. Sherman’s testimony will hardly be read with pleasure by that gentleman. Judge Wylie plainly said that, in time of Indian trouble, he thought it not the duty of the Postoffice Department to extend mail routes over the Rocky mountains and among savage Indians, in order that the mail-carriers might be pickets for the army, but that then was the time when the law required the Postmaster General to exercise his discretion to withdraw the service. The fact, too, that there were many good petitions among the many bad and fraudulent ones, he claimed should not be made an excuse for acquitting Brady of the bad exercise of his discretion. As was to be expected, the defense made a desperate effort to break the force of this decision by exceptions, entered in manifold forms. The jury retired at nearly 4 o’clock, to be called again in the court' at 6. When the latter hour arrived, the court-room was crowded, but the principal defendants, Brady and Dorsey, were not present. The foreman of the jury announced that they had only been able to agree as to one. Judge Wylie said: “That won’t do,” and remanded them to their quarters until morning, with the intimation that, while the Marshal would make them comfortable to-night, he would not promise like comforts for another night if a verdict should not be rendered, and Judge Wylie is as good as his word, for, a few years ago, he kept an obstinate jury for hours without light or food, and finally forced a verdict. The Government certainly has great apprehensions tonight that; the' jury will not be able to agree, and that it will be found that the ‘■juryfixers” have done their work.

THE WAR IN EGYPT.

A wour fled Arab officer states that hardly had the British cavalry swept through the Arab ranks recently when a horde of Bedouins poured in and began to strip and rob the dead and wounded of both sides, killing any of the wounded who were unable to resist. Dispatches of the 4th inst. state that the Bedouins continued to intrench on the Aboukir side of Alexandria, in close proximity to the British outposts. The Khedive had given permission to cut the dykes at Meks, preventing an attack by the enemy from Meriout lake. The populace at Cairo continued to menace the few Europeans remaining, and there were fears that the Prefect of Police would be unable to maintain order. The British man-of-war Minotaur shelled a force of Egyptian infantry and cavalry between Ramleii and Aboukir. ' The Khedive’s envoys at Ismailia arranged with Bedouin chiefs to bring over a considerable number of their people. Gen. Wolseley has telegraphed the Government at home that it would not be necessary to mobilize a third army corps for Egyptian service, as, with a few reinforcements to fill up gaps, his present force was ample for all purposes. De Lessens declares that Arabi Pasha has the whole of Egypt at his back, with a force of 25,(X oto 30,UU) Arabs, and arms for 200,000. The Khedive, he says, is a prisoner, and will never be able to govern the country. The British War Office has determined to strengthen Gen. Wolseley’s forces in Egypt by sending him three additional battalions of infantry. Alexandria dispatches of the sth inst. state that sensational rumors were afloat in the city, creating excitement among the Europeans. The British authorities have divided the city into telephone districts. The Khedive has forbidden the importation of petroleum. English außents have arrived in Odessa to purchase 5s,()00 head of sheep and cattle for the array in Egypt. The Khedive has sent an Aide to the Red sea ports to encourage operations against Arabi Pasha. England has given her consent to the landing of 2,000 or 3,000 Turkish troops at Port Said. The Anglo-Turkish military convention has been signed, and the Sultan has issued his proclamation declaring Arabi Pasha a rebel for disobeying the orders of the Khedive, and causing British intervention. Four thousand additional troops have been ordered to proceed from Woolwich to Egypt Alexandria dispatches of the 6th inst state that 8,000 Arabs were fortifying Salihiyeh, and numbers of Bedouins were prowling on the banks of the canals befcveen Ismailia and Port Said. Victor De Lesseps reports that Gen. Wolseley accepted for the British Government the responsibility for damage to the traffic of the Suez canal Lord Dufferin is dissatisfied because the Sultan’s proclamation against Arabi simply asserts that he deserves to be declared a rebel Alexandria dispatches of the Bth inst. represent that a general movement to the front of the British forces had been ordered. The army numbered 15,000 men, with fifty guns; Arabi's strength was estimated at 100,000 men and 150 cannon, one-half of whom were rated as fighting men. British troops at Alexandria burned a house on the left bank of the Mahomoudieh canal, from which the enemy had been signaled with lights. Gen. Wilkinson, with a body of cavalry and mounted infantry, advanced to within a mile of Tel-el-Kebir. and took sketches of the enemy’s position, not being seen until he was retiring. An Egyptian, who murdered two Englishmen at Alexandria, was hanged by the native police, in the presence of hundreds of spectators. An Arab mob at Alexandria overpowered the police in charge of the corpse of the native hanged for murder and carried it off, together with the rope, intending to have the body embalmed as that of a saint. A reconn > s'sance by the British from Kassassin on i io 7th inst. caused a brisk exchange of ; ots between the opposing forces. The ed issue I stringent orders to ston the ■tuj t and il'-tre itment of prisoners at <ai -i.i The fresh-water canal was < <v i Tel-ei-Kebir, thus floodi i.c iow lands in that section. Gc i. Wolseley arranged with the Water

Company to give Port Said 500 tons of water daily and furnish Ismailia a sufficient amount The Colonels of three English cava'ry regiments were in the hospital at Ismailia. Arabi Pasha was reported to be suffering from dysentery.

A Fisher Caught.

** On my last trip to ftie States, ” said Mr. Arthur Fisher, of this paper, “I caught a very bad cold which settled into a severe case of rheumatism. I did’not know what to do for it, so I resolved to purchase St. Jacobs Oil for a trial. Happy thought. I began applying the Oil, and in two weeks was as well as ever."— Toronto, Canada, Globe.

Flowers and Insects.

All admire the colors and forms of flowers, but these are only part of their endless attractions. Close observers have found out many curious things which hasty lookers never see. That close questioner of nature. Charles Darwin, found that insects were attracted to flowers by their colors, and that different insects choose different colors. He cut the showy petals off some of the flowers in clumps in the garden, and found that bees never went near those, though very busy with the others. Sir John Lubbock put honey in glass over colored papers, and found that bees readily discriminated and always went to the blue, as they do in the flowers. Muller noticed that each kind of but-* terfly visited only its own favorite color of Lantana. Grant Allen shows that, as nearly all colored flowers depend upon insects to brush the pollen on the stigma and so cause them to produce seed, their preference for the intensest color of their choice tends to the production of the most from them, and so the full development of color. He shows, too, that at first the only color was yellow, as seen in the seed parts of nearly all flowers still, and that white, pink, red, purple and blue were developed in succession. Many flowers still open with a yellow or pink tinge, and gradually change through this series to some shade of red, or finally, blue. Blue and purple are most common in complicate corollas which only bees and butterflies penetrate easily; moths only see white flowers.— Vick’s Floral Guide. The Carson City (Nev.) Appeal says: St. Jacobs Oil is good for rheumatism, neuralgia and a thousand different ills.

Lost Confidence.

To be “exactly like” does not prove that a thing is identical. Circumstantial evidence is not-the most trutsworthy evidence. A lawyer in central New York gives the following as an illustra tion: My client sued a neighbor for the alleged killing of a favorite dog. The proof consisted in the mysterious disappearance of the animal, and the possession of a dog's skin by the defendant, which after considerable argument, was brought into court as au evidence. It was marked in a singular manner, and. was positively identified, with many tears, by the plaintiff's wife and daughter as the undoubted integment of the deceased Bose. In summing up to the jury, I was in he midst of a highly-colored picture of he virtues of the deceased, and of the love of the children for their four-footed friend, when I was interrupted by a slight disturbance in the crowd near the door of the little school-house which served as court house. Looking around, I saw my client’s youngest son, a tow-headed urchin of twelve, coming forward with a dog whose skin was the exact counterpart of the one put in evidence. The dog wagged his tail with good-natured composure and the boy cried, in his childish treble, — “Paw, Bose has come home.” I gathered up my law books and retreated, and I have never had perfect confidence in circumstantial evidence since.

It Will Never Do.

It won’t do to neglect such symptoms of ill-health and approaching decay as sediment in the urine, painful urination, urinary sediment, etc. When thus afflicted the kidneys and urinary system need immediate strengthening, else'loss of memory, universal lassitude, disturbing' dreams and general prostration foliotv in their turn, and a shattered nervous system and broken-down constitution makes life miserable, and premature death or paralysis inevitable. To counteract the effect of such an unnatural drain, use Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, It will strengthen the parts affected, stop the unnatural drain and check all decay. Ask your drtiggest to get it for you. Poole, the tailor, was taking holiday at Brighton, and one morning, on the pier, he met one of his noble customers. “Good morning, Mr. Poole,” said the peer. “Good morning, my Lord,” replied the tailor, svho passed on. “ Stay, Mr. Poole; 15vant to show you this coat,” replied the aristocrat. “It doesn’t fit me at all.” Poole was a man of ready wit. He stopped, looked carefully at the coat, and then, a piece of chalk from his pocket, said: “ Your Lordship is right; the coat wants to be taken in here, and let out here, and shortened here, and lengthened a bit here and at each “here” he made a heavy chalk mark. “Now, my Lord,” he continued as he sa5V a curious crowd had gathered around, “if you svill just take that coat up to London, marked aS it is, my manager will see that it is altered to your satisfaction. His Lordship did not again commit the impertinence of “talking shop” to Poole. A writer, signing himself “A well man,” writes: “I was ill for years with weakness; urinary sediment and weak kidneys, palpitation of the heart, bad dreams, etc., were some of the symptoms.

It improves the appetite, promotes the growth, and restores the sick. Sold by all druggists.

OUR PROGRESS.

Aa stages are quickly abandoned with the completion of railroads, so the huge, drastic, cathartic pills, composed of crude and bulky medicinee. are quickly abandoned with the introduction of Dr. Pieroe’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” which are sugar-coated and little larger than mustard seeds, but composed of highly concentrated vegetable extracts. By druggists. Some of ’em are very like Cousin John Thrasher’s man who told him he wanted to be door-keeper; but Cousin John had promised to vote for another feller, and so, to get rid of him, he says: “Why Jim did you ever keep a door? ” ‘No,” says he. Did von ever study a book on keeping a door? ‘I never did,” says he. “Well, did you ever attend lectures in Augusta, or anywhere, on how to keep a door?” “Of course not,” says he. “Well, mv dear sir, you had better go back home, and prepare yourself by the next session, and I’ll vote for you.”— BUl Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.

TENNYSON'S "MAY QUEEN."

Who knows that if the beautiful girl who died so young had teen blessed with Dr. Pierce’s “ Favorite Prescription,” she might have reigned on many another bright May day. The “ Favorite Prescription ” is a certain cure for all those disorders to which females are liable. By druggists.

O. R. Keith and Company,

The great Chicago Fancy Dry Goods and Millinery house, opened the fall trade with full lines of Millinery Goods, Notions, White Goods, Hosiery, Yarns. Woolens, Flannels, Cloaks, Shawls, etc., with full lines of Domestic Dry Goods added. Each new d sparture has brought a great increase of trade, and their sales for August,lßß2, have doubled those of August, 1881. The house is well known wherever Chicago trade reaches, and has the confidence of the public in an unusual degree. Its salesmen are all instructed to represent their goods truthfully. It purchases for cash, and its large sales enable it to sell at bed-rock prices. Any prominent Chicago business house if asked which is the leading house in these lines would answer, O. B. Keith & Company. “Porter’s crossing!” screamed a brakeman on the Michigan Central railroad as he put his head in the passenger car. “ Well, what if he is?” snapped an old lady, tartly. “I don’t see any sense in making such a fuss about it;” and she muttered something about folks minding other folks’ business, while the tired passengers smiled audibly among themselves. — Detroit Post.

A New Principle.

The princ’plo upon which Putnam's Painless Corn Extractor acts is entirely new. It docs not sink d ;ep into the flesh, thereby-produo ng soreness, but acts directly upon the external covering of the corn, separates it from the under layer, removes the direct pressure from the part, and at once effects a radical cure, without any pain or discomfort. Let those who are suffering from corns, yet skeptical of treatment! try it, and by the completeness of the cure they will be ready to recommend Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor to others. Wholesale, Lord, Stoutenburgh <fc Co., Chicago. Huxley says “ there was a time when men walked on all fours.” He probably alludes to that interesting time in the early life of us all when we approached a neighbor’s melon patch from the back way.

Then she sat down to admire her work, and blissfully remarked, “Now everything is lovely, and the goose hangs high?’ Common colds neglected cause onehalf the deaths. Consumption lurks in every cough, often using as a mask the ruddy cheek and sparkling eye till its deadly seeds are deeply planted" in the system.

Dr. Winchell’s Teething Syrup is just the medicine for mothers to have in the house for tho children. It will cure colds, coughs, sore throat, and regulate the bowels.

Vennor’s Predictions.

Vennor’s predictions so far have been wonderfully correct. He says 1882 will be remembered as a year of great mortality. German Hop Bitters should be used by everybody.
