The Charm es the Human Voice.

A word spoken has far more power to persuade and to move than the word written. This is especially true if it be well spoken—if it be uttered with the pioper intonations and inflections and be enforced with the right gestures. The propositions which upon a printed page will be examined with a searching criticism, will when falling from the lips of a popular orator carry whole masses into some course of action. The reader will be t able to detect the illconcealed dishonesties of the reasoning. He will discern if there be any undistributed middle or illicit process of the minor premise. The hearer, however, has not time to make any such discriminations, His nervous system becomes electrified by the power which the speaker sends forth from eye and tongue and hand. An undescribable magnetism goes thrilling through him in rapid currents. He becomes charmed, enthralled, enslaved, ready to do or dare whatever the orator may bid. Much of this enchantment is due to the voice alone. Its swells and cadences not only delight the ear, but through that organ excite the imagination and captivate the reason. It is no wonder that when an Athenian audience had listened for an hour to the glowing periods of Demosthenes, they forget their own weakness and the risks of war, and cried out as one man, “Let us fight Philip.” It is no wonder that when the rude soldiers of Hungary listened to the melting accents of their young queen, that with gallant enthusiasm they burst forth with the cry, “We will die for our sovereign.” (The Savior of the world showed His appreciation of the power of speech when He chose the “foolishness of preaching” as the agency by which men were to be brought to an apprehension of his doctrine. The eloquence of the apostles—which was not the finished oratory of the schools, but the strong, earnest eloquence of sincere conviction—won converts by the thousand, and all down the history of Christianity have men been reclaimed from sin and persuaded into righteousness by the voices of their fellow-men. True, indeed, many while under the excitement which preaching has produced have made vows to which they afterward proved recreant. But far more have been induced to “right about face” and to live ever after with new aims and aspirations. The spoken voice is, however, far less potent than the voice expressing itself in the melody of music. The rich gushings cf the throat can call up in intense force all the emotions of the human soul. We have seen large congregations stirred by the most profound excitement as rude, untutored voices swelled into solemn grandeur in a service of song. The words were of the simplest—having in them no magnetism whatever. The whole moving power lay in the vast volume of sound. There is no exaggeration in the old story of Orpheus beguiling the powers of the lower regions by the notes of his lute. There have been singers—there are singers now—who could, perform feats quite as marvelous.— Sunny South.

A New Kind of Plant.

They’re an intelligent couple—the Spilkinses; man and wife. “My dear,” said the former, looking, up paper the other morning, “what do they mean by a telegraph plant? I have some little acquaintance •with botany and the vegetable kingdom in general, but in all the works I’vp read upon that subject I have seen no mention made of a telegraph plant.” “Yes, and precious little acquaintance it is, too,” replied his wife, tartly, “or you wouldn’t ask so stupid a question. Didn’t you ever notice them bushes and weeds and things growin’ round the bottom of the poles. along the railroad tracks? Them’s what they call telegraph plants. You’re too refreshingly green for anything, Spilkins.” “Oh, I never thought of that,” remarked Mr. S., with the air of a man upon whom a sudden illumination has dawned; and a moment after he added, •with a sly twinkle of the eye, for he enjoyed his joke, “then I suppose that is what might be called the vegetation of the pole-ar regions.” “Humor may be a very good thing, Mr. Spilkins,” observed his wife, sharply, “but a little intelligence is a much better thing.” “Oh, yes—yes, dear,” said Mr. S. meekly; and, after a moment’s quiet reflection, he added: “No I never did think of that before!” with a look of admiration at his wife’s superior wisdom. —TheJudqe.

A Curious African Plant.

Now that there is such a desire to acquire plants which contrast strangely with the ordinary types in foliage or form, it may please many readers to make the acquaintance of the Welwitschia Mirabilis. This plant is one of the most extraordinary found on the globe. Its stalk attains the diameter of a large tree trunk, four feet or even more, but never rises more than a foot from the ground. You would take it for the stump of a felled tree, or an enormous fungus. From this stalk extend two leaves, which last as long as the plant, often a century, and acquire an immense size, occasionally six feet long by two wide. They are green, leathery, and by constant flapping in the wind, split at the end into thongs. The top of the stalk hollows in and is marked by a series of concentric circles. From this, especially along the outer edge, spring out branched flower stalks, bearing bright red buds, which finally become cones two inches long by one ia diameter. This plant belongs to the Conifer family, genus Guetum. It was discovered on the west coast of Africa, near Cape Negro, by Dr. Welwitschia, who gave it his name. The negroes call it the Toumbo.

Cutting a Figure.

It is strange, for instance, what egregious asses men and women will make of themselves in dancing the figure of the german. The young people who are selected as leaders appear to cudgel their brains' to invent or discover figures that are idiotic. Here is something observed at a large and fashionable german one night recently. The

dancers were harnessed together in silken ribbons, in groups of three abreast; on one side three ladies driven by a man, and on the other, three men driven by a lady. In this form to polka music they danced from one end of the room to the other. One can imagine how utterly absurd they looked, and yet the figure was considered very ton.— Neto York Star.

A New Industry.

. “A new labor to give industry to the toiling masses,” said a gentleman. “It is a company, established on the plan of like institutions in Berlin and Paris, having for its object the mending of socks.” The listener started away. “Don’t go. IPs a fact. Sep, here is a circular from the company. They do not confine their attention to socks. Stockings, underwear for ladies and gentlemen, dolling of all kinds, for every age and for both sexes, will be mended.” “Why not add umbrellas and silk hats?" “They have done so. Silk hats are not a circumstance. Broken china and strained bedsteads are not neglected. It is simply a company that manufactures nothing and repairs everything.” “Suppose the furniture mechanic should upset his glue pot on the sealskin sacque which his neighbor ■ was sewing on. You can’t repair everything in one shop ?” “That’s where you are not informed. The company are just starting. Their present specialty is clothing. They call at any address on receipt of a card and get the socks or other articles, take them to headquarters, mend them and return them with a bill. They will call for any dish or article of furniture and return it mended in like manner. But they have not yet got so large a factory that they can do so varied a business. They have no factory at all, only rented rooms. But they have arranged with boot-makers, fur-makers, dress-makers, cement-makers, furniture-makers, hatmakers, and makers of about every article of household utility who will do the work. The company looks after the repairs and guarantees the work, saving the owner all the trouble and sometimes much expense.” “Suppose a man splits a dress-coat?” “They will handle the job, bringing it to him so neatly darned that he will not know where <the darned slit is, and all for 10 cents a square inch of darning. That’s a sample of their prices.” “But if they farm out the work why should a man not take his own work to the tailor ?” “Because he hasn’t the time. He can get the work done by the company at the same price, and save all trouble except that of writing a letter and paying a bill. ” — New York Sun.

A True Story of a Diamond.

Chats about the gems on view brought out odd scraps about the way diamonds came into the market. A gem now in the possession of apolice captain had, as too many of the more notable historical stones have, a queer, weird, blood-stained history. A miner at De Beers, Grigualand West, South Africa, abandoned his claim because the walls, huge masses of rock, left towering above the excavated ground, had fallen in, and to such an extent that it would not pay to have the claim cleared. He went to another rush, and months afterward found himself arrested on, a charge of making away with a man named Comyngs, last seen in his tent on the night before he “skipped the camp.” He was confined on suspicion, and yet, there be’ng no corpus delicti, was not brought to trial. One day he was summoned on a Coroner’s inquest and marched from his prison to the Court House, liberty, and comparative fortune. The missing man had been found. It seems the claim had been taken into the area of a strong company, who found, inter alia, the dead, decomposed corpse of poor Comyngs. How he had got into the claim was a mystery, but in his dead hand, where he lay crushed all shapeless by the huge masses of rock that tumbled on him so inopportunely, was a nineteen-carat diamond worth $16,000, a piece of purest water. The miner was acquitted, and diggers’ law gave him the diamond so found in his claim, which could not be declared legally abandoned until the month expired from his vacating his license. — New York World.

Styrax Japonica.

The most valuable of recent introductions from Japan is Styrax japonica, a shrub attaining a height of six or eight feet, and bearing a profusion of most charming white flowers of the size of an apple blossom. The species was first described in 1835 by Siebold and Zuccarini, in their works upon Japan plants. It has only recently been introduced into this country, however, and is not yet grown by mpre than two or three nurseymen. It is bound to become a general favorite as soon as known. The most charming feature of the plant is its habit of bearing slender, horizontal branches, along the upper side of which are the leaves, while the chaste, wax-like flowers hang oh slender pedicels beneath. Its period of flowering is late spring, the blossoms remaining for about two weeks. It is perfectly hardy in this latitude.

Keep Dry!

Is an admonition we see on boxes ot perishable merchandise in transitu, but it Is also one which should be carefully observed by those who have a tendency to rheumatism. In addition to avoiding damp and keeping dry-shod, they w^.° ’F® rheumatic should übc Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a blood depurent professionally indorsed and of the highest order bf merit By promoting healthful activity of the kidneys and bladder it insures the expulsion through'tnose natural outlets, of impurities in the blood which give rise to Bright’s disease, diabetes, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, and dropsical effusions. It induces bodily comfort by day and untroubled repose at night: conquers dispepsia, diverts bile from i he blood into its proper channel, relaxes the bowels gently, but effectually, and is a reliable means of restoring vigor and hastening convalesc- nee. Mariners, toilers in the mine, and residents of unhealthy localities, find it a safeguard under conditions unfavorable to health. Too much idleness, I have observed, fills up a man’s time much more completely, and leaves him less his own master, than any sort of employment whatever. — Burke.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

There wu * time, though far removed from ' ours. But this m truth all histories declare, When infants desired the lion's mane with flowers, And peace and love were regnant everywhere. Beauty no bought or borrowed charms did wear. But hardly her rounding form displayed. While the rich glowing cheek and rippling hair No more might crave of artificial aid Than does the wild-wood rose, or ferns in forest glade. A strength gigantic nerved the limbs of men, Labor was pastime, hardships moved a smile. No hollow coughs disturbed night's stillness then, .. No thoughts of gloom were bred by morbid bile. And life was lengthened out a wondrous while; The strong man stood for centuries in his pride. Rugged as is the peaked Egyptian pile. Till by descendants girt on every side, Bis blessings calm he gave, ere painlessly he died. This was the Age of Gold; —but how its end Was wrought, they tell this strange and mythic tale: A youth, resigned a lonely life to spend. Saw to his door wing-footed Mercury sail, Leading a girl whom lilies of the vale Coula not in fresh-bloom beauty emulate; Nor did the fair Pandora feign to quail When Mercury told the raptured youth that fate To him this charmer gave, to be his wedded mate. A bridal present in her hands she bore,— A box, of quaint and exquisite design. Which when her husband oped,—Oh, what a store Of horrors did that casket dire enshrine! For from it forth flew each disease malign That ever since on human frames has preyed, And, spreading o'er the earth, did Man consign To countless agonies that should invade Each vital source, till all his stalwart strength decayed! Then must the weakened frame and shortened life. Sad legacies!—to all his after race descend, Till now existence is but constant strife ■ Against a host of ailments without end. As still each shattered bark we strive to mend. The Iron Age, that with Pandora came, Does yet o’er earth its grinding rule extend, And sickness joins with poverty to tame Souls t hat might else a place of pride and honor claim!

But when had flown forth all the killing woes That in Pandora’s fatal casket lay, Lo! —from its depths released, sweet Hope arose. As breaks through sable clouds a sun-lit ray, And as she rose, she sang, “Mourn not for aye! Home balm shall yet for all these pangs be found. Not with vain show do Nature’s stores display These trees and herbs that beautify the ground, Since in them lurk the charms to make your sick ones sound!” To find the balm pledged in this promise dear, Were many hearts through many ages fired, Until, to search our country’s threats here A young physician came, with soul inspired, And found at last, ’midst secret shades retired, The herbs and roots that had neglected grown. And nurtured in their veins the boon desired, While o’er them many a summer's moon had shone. And many a wintry snow those treasures had bestrown. Long used to ponder o’er the ills of Man, What rapture now in Pierce’s bosom rose! For he had marked the source from whence began The worst and deadliest of our body’s woes. Anatomy’s keen khife did well disclose What osran, from its duty warped away, Becomes the spring from which envenomed flows The principle of sickness and decay, Though by a thousand names its work we may portray! The Liver, formed to keep Life’s ruby tide Cleansed of each taint, and play a guardian’s part By drawing each corrupting germ aside, — Was now compelled, by fell Disease’s art. To prove a traitor, and upon the heart And panting lungs, a poisoned stream to pour. Op ng the way for dread Consumption’s dart, And fatal stings of many an ailment more, Thus bidding countless homes their slaughtered hopes deplore! Thence come the wasted form, the sallow cheek. The embittered tongue, and often-aching head. And hence the livid face, witn hectic streak Displayed as Nature's danger-signal red. Hence, over many an else fair visage spread Unsightly blotches and eruptions vile, Or hideous Scrofula does horror shed, Killing Love’s glow, and freezing Friendship’s smile. Or the ssorched heart consumes with black and burning bile! At once Pierce in his blest Discovery saw That which the very root of all should find. And, by the workings ot unerring law, Drive out the foe that thus life undermined, And with benignant fore?, und wisdom kind. The shattered main-spring ot our frames repair. That Bile no longer, like a giant blind, Might mischief work, but his true part should bear To make this mortal mould strong, vigorous and fair. This remedy our trembling hearts shall arm Against Malaria’s flend, though wide his reign, For small would lie his power to work ns harm Did not some drops of poison in each vein, Traitors in our own citadel, remain. Pure blood and healthful bile shall interpose Celestial shields, while on our brows in vain His feetid breath the marsh-bred demon blow s. For these have proved his most victorious foes!

Here rescue comes to tlipse whose: bodies thrill Beneath the Ague’s keen consuming touch, While scorching fever and congealing chill Alternate wring the victim in their clutch. The healing aid, so often sought for such, Is here at last, and, by our swamps and streams, Rest comes for those who have endured so much. And for their fitful sleep, with hideous dreams. Shall slumbers sweet prevail, till break each morning's beams! Thus do we foil Consumption’s slow advance, That o'er Columbia stalks, with stern control, For oft the ills we’ve touched, witli speedy glance. Conclude in this, their dark and fatal goal. And with most joy it shone on Plaice's soul That here he smote his country’s chiefest foe,' And quelled that malady that ot the whole Dark list did darkest its death record show,— A Hydra, all whose beads he lopped atone brave blow! Now, then, the new-found remedy to name: Perhaps the choice, at first,, perplexing seemed To the discoverers brain, till, like a flame, “The. Golden Medical Discovery" beamed Before his vision, and was worthy deemed To herald to mankind that precious meed That should o'er otuer potions be esteemed As gold o’er baser ores, and was decreed, By bringing health and strength, to make men rich, Indeed! Mark, upon Shakspeare’s page, how wild Macbeth Tells us. In phrase not oft well understood, That his crowned victim, Duncan, lay in death, "His silver skin laced with bls golden blood. 4 And richer far is life’s all-precious blood, When by yon great Discovery purified. Than the bright metal (fortune’s folded bud), That, sought so often, by mountain, vale or tide. Doth in auriferous veins of California hide! But, oh, delay not to ward off the shaft Until a mortal wound has pierced yon through! Now let the healing antidote he quaffed. E'er venom can its work completely do. Yon flower whose withered petals now bestrew The earth shall soon, from Spring’s exhaustless store. Be gifted with fresh leaves and blossoms now. But Man’s frail organs, when destroyed, no more Can genial suns revive, or earthly skill restore! Woman no longer plays Pandora's part, Gazing with cola anrj curious smile, to see The unshared evils that afflict Man’s heart Alas! earth’s greatest sufferer is she. The guiltless prey of wasting Agony, Her path beset with countless springs of pain. Thus speedily the charms of beauty flee, And all the toilet’s arts are plied in vain Health’s clear and blooming hue and roundness to regain. The playful, dimpled child, to girlhood grown. Is seen bereft, at once, of strength and bloom. And, pale and slender as some nymph of stone, No more her sports and laughter may resume.

Dark o’er the parents" hearts roll cloud* of gloom. And, as new symptoms strike their fearing Prophetic fancy shows the untimely tomb Ot their lost darling, onoe so glad and bright. But, in her budding sweet, struck with insidious blight! Or gaze on her who was the radiant bride. Now a sad prisoner, spiritless and weak;— What nauseous draughts, what penance has she tried, Some ease from grinding misery to seek! Wonder not should her fretted spirit wreak Itself in accents peevish or severe. Followed by tears that burn the faded cheek When she beholds that even those most dear Avoid her weary couch of woe to linger near! Now, should Earth's gilded days no more return. Our blest Discovery does its power engage That, with those wise its virtues to discern. It shall restore, by skilled prt scription sage, The joy of youth, each life's own golden age. Renewing manhood's strength, and woman’s pride Of grace and loveliness, with bright presage That these shall with us through long years abide, Till lightly doth life’s bark to its last harbor glide!

Slightly Embarrassed.

A New Yorker who was in Virginia City last summer received a call one day from a sharp-eyed, wiry little chap, who said he had a few Government bonds to dispose of, and would make a very reasonable discount for cash. “But, my man, the bank will buy them. ” “I guess not.” “Why?” “Because the cashier would be down on me the minit I showed up. ” “I can’t understand why.” “Stranger, you don’t tumble worth a cent, and it becomes necessary for me to explain that these bonds have been gradually acquired by stopping stage coaches and asking passengers to sfyell out. It so happens that the cashier of our leading bank is one of the gentlemen who has shelled, and I reckon he’d remember the bonds even if he had forgotten my phizl” The New Yorker refused to invest, even at 50 cents on the dollar.— Wall Street News.

Wood Nymphs.

The eld Greeks—the truest lovers of beauty—believed that every tree inclosed in its bark a wood nymph of great beauty and sensibility; and we ought in transplanting a tree to treat it as if this idea was no fable. The roots— particularly the fibrous ones—should be nursed as tenderly as a wounded finger in its daily dressings; for through these principally the tree sucks up its nourishment.
