Then, 'neatli the fairy flngera of the frost Grow pure, pale forms of ferns and mosses rare, Of laee-Iike seaweed and of nodding seed Of ghostly firs on mountain.s grim and bare. Along the rocks a fringe of crystals clear Gives back the light in hues like Iris' bow, And all earth's imperfections lie concealed Beneath the star-gemmed mantle of the snow. Close to the warm heart of her mother, earth, Mid all her elfln train spring, nestling lies, And till the sun, ner ardent wooer, calls. Each busy fay his skillful Anger plies. And scarce hfith vanished from the rough hillside The gathered drift, where, striving first to bear From out the mould his handiwork, appears Each elf; and sweet voiced murmurlngs fll the air. Springs forth anemone, with faint-blushed brow, like rosy dawn on mountain summit white; Spring-beauty next, with, cheeks of deeper tint. Glows like the virgin snow In sunset light. Along the brook the shy forget-me-not Recalls the dazzling blue of winter skies; And, rivaling the frosty phantom feins. Their emerald prototypes In beauty rise. Ilright buttercups, that from the midnight stars Their radiate forms and hues of glory took, Deck all the fields, while countless star-wort blcosoms Mock the frost crystals, in each shady nook.

Victorious Spring's sweet laughter bubbles' forth ; llade Winter hears, and with a smarting blast, Seeks his Ice fortresses in the frozen north, THE CHURCH AT GLENVILLE. . BY MRS. SALLIE A. RAM AO E. Chatter IV. Mr. Arnold's sermons pleased his congregation. Ilia pleasant words made him many friends. His sturdy independence won him the respect of Glenville, and the new preacher seemed in a fair way to become danger ously egotistical, when a little incident occurred that rippled the smooth current of his life. Like all other ministers that had ever had charge of the church, Mr. Arnold visited much at Mr. Allen's house. It was a pleasant place to go, for both the old gentle man and his wife were cheery, hearty people , whose home was as welcome to the poor and unfortunate as it was to a friend. They lived in an atmosphere of peace and con tentment; they were in perpetual sunshine. Sorrow and death had crossed their thresh' old full oft, but the Blessed Comforter had never left them, and the shadows soon lifted. Their one pride was their grandchild Ruth, for the grave had closed over the bonnie lasses and noble lads who called them father and mother. And to this one lamb of the Hock their whole love was given. She was beautiful and winning, and to those who so fondly cherished and loved her she was devoted and tender. She never wearied in hf r care of them, but was literally their comiort'and blessing. Their friends were her friends, their pleasures hers, and she sought for nothing that would not give them the same delight it did her. So, when week after week, Mr. Arnold visited the neat, quite home, he saw much of the young girl, and was often with her alone, waiting for the old folks, or after they had bidden Yiim "good night," lingering for a few mo ments with her. She was simple and unaf fected in her manner. She received him with free hospitality, not only because he was fast growing to be a friend of the family, but also because he was a minister; and to her that meaat so much, fcr her own father had died almost in ' the pulpit. He had preiuhed and prayed to the very last, and his dying words to his motherless child were to lore the church and to be obedient to its laws. She regarded the altar place, the pulpit with sacred awe and reverence, and never approached them but with the remembrance that here Indeed was the "holy of holies' ne had been taught to respect mir jste.-e, to remember that her father had been one, and to serve them as she would have liked to have him served. Her true, pure heart kept back any thought of him, and she waa safe in her womanly delicacy, therefore She had no hint of what the people soon whispered, "Mr. Arnold is courting Rath Allison." This was far from the truth. No word of love had ever passed. There had ' baen no exchange of confidences or pledges. There could not be while the. pictured face of Margaret Carlyle greeted Hugh as he opened his writing desk, and her letterj came regularly. They were answered punctually as tfhey came.- Strange letters they were that passed between the 'betrothed lovers. ' No words of endearment, no silly yet precious nothings written witth tender thoughts filling the heart, )bnt rather a profuseness of apparent aflectflon, as if to veil the hollowness of the protestations. Miss Carlyle wrote of her daily life J her round of entertainments, her -parties, bl ills, beaux and her delight in these pleasuresShe chided Hugh for his lack of the doings of society, and gave interest ii him to umderitand distinctly that though she would ;inarry him, she would not consign herself country exile "for a thousand churches'" She loved him, she even admitted that, mt she loved her own way and will bettr. She had been brought up to know n4 master, out her own inclination, and she? would not now undertake the task of a dL2reirt lesson. Mr. Arnold's letters to herwci9aa oil odxoiitara of doubt tid

certainty. Doubt as to his ability to make

her happy, to prove the husband she expected. Certainty as to his devotion to his call ing and his intention to remain faithful to it and his vows. Same times Miss Carlyle in her heart felt there was some change as yet undefined in her. lover. She was not jealous, for jealousy is a parasite that feeds only on ardent passion, and of that she was incapable. If there were grand heights and depths to her. nature, they had never been reached or fathomed. Her love was as calm and quiet as a summer's sea, and she would in all probability make a model wife. She would bring no disgrace to her husband's name, she would rear his children to be gen tlemen and ladies in miniature, and keep his home elegantly neat Butas'to sharing his burdens of heart and soul, to kneeling with him at the death bed of the sinner, the poor or the Christian, she could no more do such a thing than she could tiy. . She would give of her . means to the needy, but she would not grant to the miserable or unfortunate an instant's admission to her home. She might legally be his wife, but she could not be his help mate, his companion. Love capable of thus changing her she had never felt. Her feeling for Hugh Arnold was like an old glove it touched her lightly, but she could shake it from her as an idle thing. Tins matters were drifting until the Christmas times came, and Mr. Arnold's church resolved to have" a Christmas tree for the Sunday-school, and. he wrote of this to Margaret. It was unlike him, for sla took no interest in the work, but in an idle moment he mentioned it incidentally. This entertainment she could appreciate, and her mind was instantly made up to show to the people that she would make a good wife for a minister. She ransacked the city for suitable presents, and had yoa heard her opinion of the scholars you would have thought that Hugh was a missionary to the South Sea islanders. But she was generous, and the box was large that, properly marked, was landed at the church door at Glenville Christmas eve. She wanted to surprise her loverj and she had given no hint of the gift in the letters, so that when he was told of the box he had no' idea that it came from her. A few of the Sunday-school pupils and teachers had gathered in the church to sing over the anthems for. the next night, and. while Ruth Allison was playing the organ the others sang. Hut the mysterious box for the moment occupied the attention of. all. It was found to be full of pretty things so inviting to a group of children, and here and there were gifts suitable for teachers or older pupils. A note directed to Mr. Arnold in the well known handwritiag explained all: "A merry Christmas to all. From yourjfriend, Margaret Car lyle.' A committee of distribution took charge of the presents and arranged them on the tree. As Mr. Arnold escorted Ruth home she said, laughingly, "I expect I am on forbidden ground, but who is Margaret Carlyle?" "A young lady." "Pretty?" "Yes." "Living in the city?" "Yes." And there the matter dropped. He was tempted for a moment to tell her all, to let her know that in honor he was not a free man, that be was bound as the betrothed husband of Miss Carlyle. But for a moment he was weak; he waited; he was silent,- and bitterly did he regret in other days that he did not speak. Christmas came and went, but Mr. Arnold was ill at ease, and time dragged 'heavily on his hands. He tried hard to feel that he was doing right, and he threw himself heart and soul into his work. He preached with zeal, he prayed with fervor, he visited every person in all his congregation"; nd he, labored to bring every unbeliever under the influence of re ligion. He studied late in the night, and spent hours upon his knees in wrestling prayer, but he could obtain no peace, no rest of mind or soul. He was as a boat tossed by the breakers, now dashing on the rocks of despair, again drifting far out to sea. People praised him for his devotion to the work; he felt that he was not worthy their words of commendation. He felt that he ought not rebuke the sins of others for he himself was sinning in that while his word and faith were pledged his heart, that most treacherous of servants, had gone beyond his recall. One day, weary with study, he called to see Mr. Alien, believing that Ruth was away The old man saw at a glance that something was wrong, but with no thought of the cause he waited for the minister to voluntarily give him his confidence. They talked long of the work at Glenville, what had best be done and how best to do it; the needs of the church, the outlook for the coming year, the fields when the harvest was ripest, and where the blade must soon be thrust in. Then the conversation drifted to other matters, the past life of the two men, the one giving, the other receiving advice. Mr, Allen told of his son in law's worth, his true nobility of character, his zeal, and hushed his voice as he told of his glorious death, his faith and trust, Mrs. Allison bid died some years, before her husband, and her father, speakingof this, said: "As they were united in life, so they were scarcely separated by death. She was everything to him, and thoueh he struggled on he felt her loss keen ly. She was - a true wife, and he, aye, he almost worshiped her. Such love as theirs was beautiful, and it was sanctified and' noble." Over and over again did the listen er repeat the words and the sentiment, and for the first time he saw his danger, and knew that honestly he could not marry Margaret Carlyle. He could not be' her husband and retain his place in the ministry, (or .he would feel unworthy to preach a true gospel, and know that he was living a false life. He knew now that he loved Ruth Allison, for as her grand father had been talking she came in the room with so sweet face that the nulse ot the young man beat quicker than its wont, and his band trembled as for an Instant his fin pers c'asped hers. The question pressed deep into his heart, What must he do marry AUrg&xet md lire a lie, giro up the j&iniuy (

to which he had given himself in the sight

anJ fear of God, or, throwinff the shackles of his promise, marry the one woman he knew could even now receive his affection? There was one other thought, but it scarcely seemed feasible leave Glenville, go to an other charge, and in disguise lose hi. new born rove for the maiden now so dear. Ah, but he knew that the memory of the heart is the one thing that time nor space can not efface. ITo be Continued. A CHILD JHURDEKER. Solitary Confinement for Ufe. Boston Globe. , Probably there is more curiosity concernng the prison career of Jesse Ponieroy than any other convict in the institution. His atrocities are known th world over, and hundreds make the Tain visit to the prison to get a sight of him.' indeed, scarcely a visitor appears here but who asks for the privilege, and, strange as it may seem, the most importunate and persistent I these are found among the lady visitors. It is no uncommon thing for the warden to be im portuned for half an hour at a time by a delegation of these philanthropic females, and, finding that their pleadings are nseless, they go oil in a rage, probably declaring inwardly that -Porneroy is a saint and angel in comparison with General ChamberIain. This singular phenomenon of a fiend and murderer is even more singular since his incarceration for life in a lonely cell than he was in the palmy days of his atrocities. ' He has, in fact become quite an exem plary young man, and is evidently determined upon acquiring a thoroughly classical. education. He is away by himself in a cell in that part of the prison known as the "Upper Arch," outof the eight of everything and everybody, and the only sounds which greet bis ears are the whistles of the passing locomotives and runrbling of the trains. Three times a day only is this solitude broken by the appearance of a keeper with his meals, and then not a word passe s between them. It should be added in qualification, however, that the chaplain visits him occasionally, and also that his mother and brother are allowed interviews with him every three months. This is in accordance with the general rules ot the prison, all ol which are applicable to Fomeroy, with the terrible exception that his confinement is to be solitary during his natural life. During the regular working hours he is employed in making shoe brushes, but in this respect he is not the most profitable convict in the prison. He seems to have taken to literature rather than to the mechanic arts, and spends much of his time in the acquisition of knowledge. So far as the English branches go he is already master, and has now at tached Latin, f rench and German, and Is making astonishing progress in all three of them. If it were not for the conditions which forbid his mingling with the rest ol the prisoners, it would not be a baa idea to make him "professor of languages', of the institution.. He writes a ietter. to his mother every week, and receives one from her regularly In return. The poor woman brings over hereon) niumcation every KatnrHav anH invariahlir finiii nna Titini her. The letters which the young ruurdereij writes are marvels in the way ot parental correspondence, and some of his descriptions of his lonely life are characterized by a sadness which is indeed harrowing. He never makes any reference- to his crimes, and when questioned by the officers about the multiJ tude of murders and outrages which he has committed, he invariably anmvers that he knows nothing whatever about them, lie has always shown a great affection for his mother, and her devotion to him has Bhown her to possess those natural instincts which are the charm of pure womanhood. She" seems to be an exemplary woman in every respect, never complaining, but always anx ious, and baa the condolence and sympathy of every officer of the prison, as she should, indeed of the whole community. Inleretlnsc Bllut Statistic. The two cent pieces were abolished five years ago. There are five times as many one cent pieces used as threes. Less than $10,000 of one cent pieces were coined last year. The shipping of silver coins from the mint began about a year ago. No fives or threes (nickel) were coined last year for circulation. The old fashioned silver dollar has not been made for five years. Silver is purchased at the mint to a limited extent. It is paid for in gold. . Nickel and bronze coins are only made in the United States mint, Philadelphia. The eastern, middle and western states take most of the nickel and bronze coins. Double eagles are being made for the depositories because they are the most saleable. No tilver is coined in subsidiary coin for depositors. The government coins for itself alone. In the south the people are now using one cent pieces and threes and fives v ry extensively. Five times as many five cent piecaj as ones are sent away, and hve times as many ones as threes. No silver is exchanged for notes at the mint This is done by transfers which come throng U Washington. There is no coinage charged on gold. The only charge is for parting, refining and toughening. Two years ago nearly $300,000 in gold dollars were made for the sub-treasury department of New York. There are lying in the depositories and vaults and sub-treasury or New York nearly $300,000 in five cent nickel pieces. - Five- cent pieces are circulated considerably in New Orleans. Pennies were recently sent to that city, which were the first ever called for. A large amount of the $33,000,000 in small coins circulated within the year were manufactured during the same period, and consequently the coins are new. In brisk times the mint pays out from $3,000. to $5,000 a day for the accommodation of people making change and for shipment throughout the country. The government has issued over $38,000,-' 000 of small silver coin since the redemption of fractional currency began, and the market is fairly glutted with them. The demand for one cent pieces has increased within the last three or four months and the demand for fives has decreased. Thii is due to the issue of so many dimes.- - ' m . I Ben Under.

A petition from Chinese merchants for a separate school for Chinese children in Ian 1' rancisco has been laia on the table by the California legislature. One of the grounds on which the petitioners asked for school privileges was that they pay annually ever $42,000 in taxes. A person who was looking at a house the other day said he couldn't allord to pay such rent. "Well, look at the neighborhood," replied the woman; "You can borrow flatirons next door, coffee and tea across the street. Hour and sugar on the corner, and there's a big pile of wood belonging to the school. house right across the alley." The' study ot grammar in the schools is called by the Boston Herald time almost absolutely wasted. It adds, and not unwisely: "No text book In grammar should be used in the lower schools; the teacher should be the science and the children his illustrations. Every lesson should be an exercise in language, and were it so no boy or girl would Veach the age of discretion without ability to express himMlf or herself correctly and clearly." This beautiful poem was written in a hospital by one of the wounded soldier boys during the late war: I am not eager, bold or strong; . All that iH pat; . I nm ready not to do At last! at last!

Already an enterprising firm of Yankees is putting up boneless ham in cans for domestic and foreign markets. During the past, few months it has been preserving large quantities of poultry, which is canned in the same style as pressed beef, the fowls being boned and chopped up. Lately, it has, with complete success, accomplished the teat of canning turkeys entire, with every bone removed. From boned turkey to chicken and vealpies is only a short step, and then Will come the British birthright the Christmas pudding made, seasoned and canned by downeast Yankees, say, about the 4th of July. A very extraordinary condition'of things exists in England -as regards the institution of clergymen to livings. The bishop of Peterborough, for instance, stated in 1675 that since he had been bishop he had been called upon to institute one clergyman wbo was paralytic; another ao aged and infirm that be applied for leave of perpetual absence; a third wbo was a reclaimed drunkard, and iTl amrww iwi.rwiiw Mini inivHim w :

boring parish; and a fourth who had resigned a public office rather than face a charge of the most horrible immoralitv. In each of these cases the facts were well known to the , parties f resenting these persons to livings; but as regards every one of .them the bishop was advised that he had no legal power to refuse institution. The Kpiscopalian has been figuring up Job's wealth, and estimated that he was worth $370,000 before his reverses. 37nf00O! And that was all of Job's boasted wealth! Poor old man.

Burlington Hawkeye, The trade mottoes of some of the Lon3on associations are curious. The blacksmiths, for instance: "By hammer and hand all arts do stand;" the distillers; "Drop as raia, distil as dew;" the founders: "God the onl7 founder;" the inn-holders: "Come, ye blessed when I was harborless ye lodget? me;" the joiners: "Join loyalty and liberty;" the Baddlers: "Hold fast, ait sare;" the weavers r "Weave trutJk with trust;" and the needemakers, "They sewed leaves together and made themselves aprons." There is a church scandal at Stony Point, on the Hudson, and as the local chronicle runs, "jealousy and bitterness crop out, even at funerals." The choir of Westminster church, by means of festivals, concerts and other entertainments, raised enough money for the purchase . of a new orpan, and the trustees disposed of the old instruments.

Then a controversy arose as to the ownership ot the organ. The choir went to the church and carried away the new organ, und when it was replevined by the trustees their leader gave bonds, and now holds it subject to the order of the courts. The trustees have brought suit against the choir for the recovery of the instrument and' $50 damages. In throwing out ballast or any small article from a balloon, a certain degree of caution is requisite, as a bottle or any similar ooject falls with such velocity that, were it to strike the roof ot a cottage it would go right through it. We are told that GayLussac, in an ascent In 1804, threw out a common deal chair from a height of 23,000 feet. It fell beside a country girl who was tending some sheep In a field, and ts the balloon was invisible, she concluded, and so did wiser heads than hers, that the chair had fallen straight down from heaven, a eif of the virgin to her faithful followers. No one was skeptical enough to deny it, for there was the chair, or rather its remains. The most the incredulous could venture to do was to criticise the Coa?se workmanship of the miraculous seat, and they were busy carping and fault finding with the celestial upholstery, when an account of il. GayLuac's aerial voyage was published, and extinguished at once the discussion and the mireele.-'-Chamber's Journal. Kvery sensible woman, and especially every business Woman, is glad that short dresses are coming again with the spring. Of course, if all women were sensible short dresses for walking woild always be in style. However, short dresses make neat and even handsome boots a necessity: Wi.h them, tea down heels, shabby leather or ill-fitting boots are an abomination, and should be impossible. Let a woman dress her feet tidily and step properly and she will not be afraid of a short dress. . But few women know how to walk, and they are so few because the silly idea has long prevailed that they must wear boots with thin and narrow soles, and as small as the contraction of ilesb. bone and muscle will allow. Gradually these, notions arc giving place to more healthy ideas, but not so fast as is desirable. With soles as broad as the f xt, thick enough to protect it from the hardness and inequalities of the earth, and long enough, to that the joints shall not be crowded out cf shape, and with uppers durable as well as handsome, and fitting perfectly, there is no reason why women should not walk easily and, conse quently gracefully. Then they need not be afraid of short skirts and they will not readily give them up, when it is generally con fessed that they are neat, comfortable and convenient. STATE NEWS.

The twilled cretonnes are commended for durability; tht-y are $1.25 a yard. rneMtiitg Have, New York Kxpress.
