KNITTING THE SCARF. [ A sly litsle maiden sits by me to night, | Softly bumming an old tune low ; i The brfkht ;l:rendl flash through her fingers white ; As she guideth the needle to and: fro. Sweet is tie song that the lady singeth, - Sad to my heart are the thoughts it bringeth ; ‘Dreams that were buried so long ago, Under the snow-—under the snow. 5 Little the maiden knoweth of this, % Weaving the bright thredds in the while . Her thoughts are weaving a dream of bliss, And the red lips part in a half sweet smile, Asher bappiness in with each stitch she twineth; And the Jight in the luminous eyes that shineth Under the%ids.: grows tender and dim, Thinking of him—thinkipg of him. : Thus the needle beareth a double thread; ; As daintly in and out it flies, - £ And the conscious flood in her Mh growsred, “’Neath the smile of my steady eyes A Shake down the cloud of thy brown hsir’s glory Lest thy blushes should tell the story } That was old whep the Eden skies were bluc, Yet ever is new—ever is new. So blushingly and shyly the maiden sings, Knitting the scarf ror her absent lover; And methinks two angels with golden wings Bofuly 'round the maiden hover. ! Heaven grant that the hopes thou art weaving Leave. no room in thy heart for grieving ; ‘““‘Angels keep thee,” 1 softly pray, o Turping away —turnming away. :

. THE QUAKER DETECTIVE. We were five passengers in all; two ladies on the back’ seat, a middleaged gentleman, and a quaker on the ‘middle and myeelf on the one in front. The two ladies might have been mother and daughter, aunt and niece, governess and charge, or might have sustained any other relationship which made it proper for two ladies to trav. ‘el together unattenied. ; The middle-aged getleman was sprightly and talkative. He soon struck up an acquaintance with the ladies, toward whom, in his zeal to do, he rather overdid the agreeable—bowing and |smiling and chattering over his shoulder in a' way painfally suggestive, at his time of life, of a “crick’ in the neck. He was evidently a gray Lothario. ‘ The %uaker wore the uniform of his sect, and confin:d his speech, as many a parliamentarian would save his credit by doing, to simple ‘‘yeas” and “nays.” As for myself I make it an invariable rule of the road to be merely a looker on and a listener. >

Toward evening I was aroused from one of those reveries into which a young man without being either a goet or a lover, will sometimes fall, y the abrupt query from the talkative gentleman; “Are you armed, sir!” . «I am not,” I answered, astonished, my doubt virible, ‘at the question, “I am sorry to hear it,” he replied, “for before reaching our stopping place it will be several hours in the night, and we must pass over a portion of t.ge' road on which more than one robbery is reported to have been committed.” i .

The ladies turned pale, but the stranger did his best to reassure them. “Not that I think there is the slightest danger at present,” he resumed ; “only when one is responsible for the safety for ladies, you know, sueh a a thing as a pistol in reach would materially add to one’s confidence,” " «Your principles, my friend,” addressing the quaker, +‘l presume, are as much opposed ‘to carrying as to ueing carnal weapons,” : “Yea,”” was the response. : “Have the villians murdered any of their victims ? the older lady nervously inquired. “Or have they contented themselves with—with plundering them ?” added the younger, in a timorous voice. “Decidedly the latter,” the amiable gentleman hastened to give assurances; ‘“‘and as we are none of us prepared to offer resistance in c,aae.ol‘p attack, nothing worse than robbery can befall us.” g

Then, after blaming his thoughtlessness in having unneccessarily introduced a disagreeahle subject, the genifeman quite excelled himself in efforts to raise the spirits of the company, and succeeded so 'well by the time night set in that all had forgotten, or only remembered their fears to laugh at them. . : e 3

~ Qur genial companion fairly talked himself hoarse. =Perceiving which he took from his pocket a package of newly invented “cough ecand,,” and after passing it first to the ladies, he helped himself to the balance and tossed the paper out of the window. . He was in the midst of high encomium on the new nostrum, more than half the efficacy of which, he insisted, depended on its being taken by suction, when a shrill whistle was heard, and almosg immediately the ooach stopped, while two faces, hideously blackened, presented themselves at each window. :

“Qurry te tranhle. yon.” said the man on the right,. acknowledging ‘ with a bow two lady-like screamg‘ from the back seat; #but ‘business is business’ and ours will soon be over, if things go smoothly,” Gl “Of course, gentlemen, you willl spare, as far as may be consistent with your disagreeabiz duty, the feelings of these ladies,” appexﬁéﬂ the polite passenger in hig blandest manner: “Oh ! certainly ; they shall be first attended to, and shall not be required to leave their places, or submit to a search, unless tgeir conduct renders it necessary.” & . “And now, ladies,”’ continued the robber, the barrel of his pistol gleam-: ing in the light of the coach-lamp, “be 80 good 48 to pass out your purses, watches and.such other trinkets as may be agcessible without too much trouble.” 2 e The ladies came down handsoniely, -and were not further molested. . One by one the rest of us were compelled to get out, the middle-. gen: »de’ma:’sit}n:m coming first. ,snb* mitted with a winning grace; and w xob{ve'd‘like a‘very éfe%mrﬁeld?‘i’g“ - My own affair, like the sum I lost was scarcely worth mentioning. The quakers’s turn came next. - He guiet.ly_ ?qhdnded',.over:i;eﬁi‘&‘-.mkat" k aod watch, and when asked:if be had any othiér valubles, said “Nay” . The quaker's word is good, even nighs,”. the robber thriist his pistol in Bla packet, add Wi W imd ompas. ions, ope of whom hed. beld the reins Mo e T SR S R RSSO e 0§ E o acauntd of

of the leaders, wae gbout taking his - departure. ~ ~ “Stop!” exclaimed the quaker, h a tone more of commaud than requwst. . “Stop! what for ?” retx‘;tneg the other, in evident surprise. .l “For at least two good ressois,” ‘was the reply, emphasized, with a ~couple of Derringers cocked and presented. - foan s & . “Help !”” shouted the robber. . “Stop!” the quaker again exd&ed. “And if one of thy sinfal eo panions advances a step to thy x; the spirit will surely move ‘me to blow thy brains out.” ' The robber at the opposite window, and the one at the leaders, thought it was a goed time to leave. .. - ' “Now get in, friend,” said the qua, ker, still covering: his .man, “and take the middle seat, but first deliver up thy pistol.” ' The other hesitated. * - 4 “Thee had better not delay ; I feel the spirit beginning to move my right forefinger.” = : ' The robber did as he was directed, and the quaker took his place by his ‘gide, giving the newcomer the middle of the seat. ~ Ly . The driver, who was frightened half ont of his wits, now set %oﬂrard at a rapid rate. The lively gentleman soon recovered his vivacity. He was especially facetious on the quaker’s powers. . :

“You're a rum quaker, you are. Why, you don’t qugke worth a cent.” - “I am not a ‘shaking quaker,’ if that’s what thee means.”

“Of the ‘hickory,” or rather of the ‘old hickory,’ stripe, I should say,” retorted the lively man ; but the quaker relapsing into his usual monosyllab'e, the conversation flagged. e .- Time. sped, and sooner than we ex“pected, the coach stopped where we were to -have supper and a change of ‘horses: We‘bzg deferred a redistribution of our effects till we should reach this place, as thedim light of the coach lamp would have rendered the process *somewhat difficult before. :

It was now necessary, however, that it should be a.tte,ndeg,, to at once as ourjovial companion had previonsly announced his intention of leaving us at this point. proposed a postponement till after snpper, which he offered to go and order. ' : j

- “Nay,” urged the quaker, with an approach to abruptness, and laying his hand ‘on the other’s arm, ‘‘business before pleasure, and for business there is no time like the present.” “Will thee be good enongh to search the prisoner?’ he said to me still keeping his hand, in ' a friendly way, on the passenger’s arm. . I did go, but not one of the stolen articles could be found. s “He must have got rid of\zhem' in the coach,” the gay gentleman suggested, and immediately offered to go and seareh ' - G

“Stop !"thundered the quaker, tightening his grasp, Thc man turned pale and struggled to release his arm. In an instant one of the Derringers was leveled at his heart, e ;

~Stir a hand or foot, and you are a dead man !” The quaker must have been awfully excited, so completly to forget both the language and the prineiples of his persuasion. - Placing the other pistol in my hand, with directions to fire on the first of the two men- that nade - a suspicious movement he went to work on:Lothario, from whose pockets, in less time. then I take to tell it, he produced every item to the missing property, to the utter amazement of the two ladies; who had begun in no measured terms, to remonstrate against the shameful treatment the gentleman was receiving. » The quaker, I need gecarcely add, was no quaker at all, but'a shrewd detective who had been set on’the track of 3 band of desperadoes, of whom our migdle-aged friend—who didn’t look near 80 middle-aged when his wig was off—was the chief. The robbery had been adroitly planned. The leager" of the gang had taken passage in the coach, and after learning, as he supposed, our defenseless condition, had given the signal to his companions br, throwing out the serap ox; paper already mentioned. Afier the nnexpected capture of the first robber, it was attempted to save the booty by secretly passing it to the accomplice, believed to be unsuspected, who counted on being able to make off wtth it. at the next stopﬁing place. . . * The result was that both for a sea: son ““did the State some service.””

; Pokergraphs. . The latest revival in art is to draw cartoons . with a red-hot poker on; wood. Ornamental patterns on woodwork it seems are the main features of this “pyrographic’ art, asit is technically called. The practice of this, hot art is ap old onme, and has been tritd on ecornices and winseotting with effect. ' Maple, sycamore, and other kinds of wood are equally’ wel' adopted to it. One very great advanta%e is, that it lasts and can not be rubbed out. Another branch of it is' the application of a red-hot branding iron to a fractious, strugghng young calf, which, while excitihg to the artist ‘thus making his mark, is not appreciated by the calf; but the apparent cruelty is 'in reality a benefic to that ungrateful animal, as/it ¢nables him at any moment to ‘ascertain to whom 'he belongs by referring o th(:l intials on his flank. 'An artistic and graphic pokergraphic monogram Btan_xie’dp by ﬂeﬁntgfs,phand 'upofr the . breast, of a valor would be a gage damour that any gallant would be }oro'ud‘qf.’ It is to be hoped, there-: ore, that ‘every encouragement will be given to thi novel and vivid art. .

THE ART OF PRINTING. . BY BAYARD TAYLOR. . - Perhaps there is no department of ‘enterprise whose details are less undei’t:‘.:god by intellegent . people than the “art preservative”—the achieve‘ment of types, - Every day, their life long, they are accustomed to read the newspaper, to find fanlt with its statements, its arits arrangement, its looks; to plume themselves upon the discovery of some roguish and acrobatic type that. gets into a frolic, and stands upon its head ; or of some waste letter or two in it; but of the process by which the newspaper is made, or of the myriade of ‘motions and thonsands of pieces necessary to its compogition, they know. -little and think less. v

- They imagine they discourse of wonder, indeed, when they speak of the fair white "carpet, woven for thought to walk on—-of‘,] the rags that fluttered on the back of the beggar yesterday. ~~ But there iz _something more wonderful still. When we look at the bundred and fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded from the touch of the fingers, that compose the printer’s “case’’—noiseless, except the clicking of the types, as one by one they take their places in the growing line—we think we ‘have found the marvel of the art. ; g

* We think how many fancies in fragments there are in the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and excellence the printer can make here and there, if he!only had a little chart to work—how many facts in a small *handfal”— how much trath in chaos. |

Now he picks up the scattered elements, until he holds in his hand a stanza of “Grey’s Elegy,” or a monody upon Grimes, “all buttoned up before,” and now “Paradise Lost.” He arrays a bride in “small caps,” and a sonnet in “nounpareil ;" he announces that the languishing “live,” in one sentence—transposes the characters, and deplores the days that are few and “evii” in the next. i

- A poor jest tricks its way slowly into the printer’s hand, like a clock just running down, and a strain of eloqdence marches into line letter by let‘ter. We fancy we can tell | the difference by hearing of the ear, but perhaps not. The types that told a wedding yesterday, announce & burial tomorrow— perhaps the selfsame letters. They are elements to make a world of. These types are a world with -something in it as beautiful as Spring, as rich as Summer, and as grand as Autumn flowers: that frost cannot wilt “—fruit “that shall ripen for all time. .. The newspaper has become the logbook of the age; it tells us at what rate the world is running; we cannot find’our reckoning without it. T'rue, the grocer may bundle up a pound of candles in our last.expressed thoughts, : but is only coming to b@co uooo; and that 18 aone times innumerable. We console ourselves by thinking that one -can make of that newspaper what he cannot make of living oaks—a bridge for time ; that he can fling it over the chasm of the dead years, and walk safely back upon the shadowy sea into the fair Past. The singer shall not end his song, nor the true soul be eloquent no more. ; : . 'The realm of the Press is enchanted ground. At times the editor has thehappiness of knowing that he has defended the right, exposed the wrong, ‘protected the weak ; that he.has given utterance to a sentiment that has made somebody happier, kindled a smile upon a sad face, or hope in a beavyheart.. He may meet with that sentiment many years after it may have lost all charm of paternity; but he feels affection for it. He welcomes it as a long absent child. He reads as if for the first time, and wonders if, indeed he wrote it, for he has changed l gince then. Perhaps he could not give utterance td the sentiment now—perhaps he would not it he could. It seems like the voice of the former self calling to its parent, and there is something mournful in its tone. He ‘be‘gins to think. He remembers why he wrote it, where were his readers then, and whither they have gone; what he | then was, and how much he has changed. 8o he muses, until he finds himself wondering if that thought of bis. will continue to float after he is dead,” and whether he shall really look on - ‘something that will survive {im'. And then comes the sweet censciousness that there is nothing in the sentence that he could wish unwritten—that it is a better part of him—a shred for a garment of immortality he shall leave Eehind’ him, when he a,f:)inﬂ; the “innaumerable caravan,” and takeés his place in the silent halls of death. ; |

+ Young Man You’re Wanted. A lady writer under this heading hits off ‘the men as follows; “A woman wants you.. Don’t forget her.— Don’t wait to be rich ; if you do ten 1o one you are not fit to be married, Marry while you are young and-strug-gle up together.. But mark, young ‘man, the woman don’t want you if she bas to divide her affections with a cigar, _spittoon or whisky jug, Neither does sge want you if you don’t take care of her and the little “afier thoughts” ‘which are sure to follow. Neither does she want you simply because you are a man, the definition of which is too apt to be an animal that wears bifurcated garments on his lower limbs, ‘a quarter -sectlon: of.stovepipe on his head, swears: like a pirate, and is given to filthy practices generally. She - wants you (}())r ‘a companion, a helpmaté; in short, in the image of God, not in the likeness of a beast.” s i e W ——— SR, .

- The Northwest. . . The imprepsirln which many people bave of the great prosperity of this section of the ?tm?ry will be somewhat damaged by a lpok at the actual state of affairs. The farmers are gloomy, and the outlook is even more gloomy than it has been since 1860.. Wheat is going down, dowa from twé dollars fo seventy cents, in the interior., There is “too much wheat, too little corn, too many sheep, a low price for wool, snd too many debts; all these acting to discourage the people. ‘The coqdition of the Northwest is farworse than the South, where the agricultural interest'is daily becoming strouger and richer. The secret of this deplorable state of things in the Northwest is the effect of the enormous taxes, protective tariffs and ‘the general shaky and unsettled condition of the financial affairs of the country. The people -will wake up after'a while to a necessity of a change in the administration of the country's ‘business.. Until tais is done they may look for still greater depr.ssion, not only in the agricultural, but in the manufacturing interests of the North and West. It is a singular and significant fact that the Southern credit is better to-day in New York than the Western, and this in spite of all the disorgunization of labor, ‘reconstruction and poverty. So says the New York Post, and the Zridbune, which is as Radical as gall, tells us that “the Southern trade this fall has been the. sal-* vation of New York,” and is, strange to say, willing to accept its salvation from “red banded traitors, stabbers of the Union and sappers of. the foundation of the Republic.” Well! well! it is something to save New York any way.

: Great Memory. Some one has'dished ap the following hash of great memories. It is a dish strongly spiced with the marvelous, and, 'as ‘western men say, we think the compiler had a “powerful recollection.” Mithridates, king of Pontus, knew, each one of his eighty thousand soldiers by his *right name. Sencca was able to rehearse two thousand ‘words, which were given to him, in the same order: Hortentius kept in his memory all the prices paid on a day of anction. = Hugo Grotius, on being present at a review of some regiments ‘in France, recalled all the names of the single soldiers which were there called up. Justus Lipsius ventured to rehearse the works of Tacitus, from the first word to the last, forward and backward, even when somebody wis standing before him - with a drawn dagger, to pierce him at the ~very moment he had forgotten but a ' word! A Venetian lady, well known by i her erudition, when asked for the sermon she had heard in church, repeated scrupulously every word. Racine knew by - memory all the tragedies of Euripides; Bayle, the whole work of Montaigne ;—. | Hughes Doneau, the Corpus Juris; Metagtasio, the entire Horatius ; and Carteret, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, all the - New Testament, from the first chapter of Mathew to the end of the Apocalypse,— The learned Scotchman, Thomas Dempster, affirmed he knew not what it was to l forget; and Scaliger is said to have apprebended within twenty.,one days the whole Homerus, and, within four months, all the Greek poets. ° _ e

Power of Musie. 12 The effect of music on the senses was oddly and wonderfully verified, one morning for the duke of Cuniberland, uncle of George the Third. A tailor had an order for a great number of bla¢k suits, which were to be finished in a very short space of time.— Among his workmen was a fellow who was always singing #Rule Britannia,” and the rest of the journeyman joined in ‘the chorus, The tailor ma&e' his obseu%s, ‘and fouud that the slow time of the tune retarded the work; in consequence, he éngaged a blind fiddler, and, placing him near the worksho?, ‘made him play constantly: the lively tane of “Nancy Dawson.” The desgn, had the Gesirod et tho tailors’ elbows moved obedient to the melady, and . the clothes were sent home within the prescribed period. -

Upina Balloon. = Professor La Mountain went up at Saginaw, Michigan, the other day. The ‘men let go the ropes before he was ready. As a natural consequence the balloon shiot up with a rapidity that carried it te altitude of two miles within a few minutes. ‘A perfect gale of wind was blowing at the time, and a moment after rain and sleet commenced falling. The balloon was still ascending when lost to sight in a cloud. Prof. La Mountain, in reluting his experience, says that it became all at once intensely cold. The cloud he enter ed was one swimming mass of snow-flakes, interspersed with rain, .which formed a frost work on the netting of the balloon, The clond, with the snow-flakes forming and flying hither and thither, had, as he expressed it, the appearance of a cloud of steam, through ‘whick the sight could not penetrate. The-eatth was lost to view.— By tearing up .his: handkerchief - and throwing out the shreds he became conscious that he was still pas:ing upward with: wonderful rapidity, and along with the current of the air e.stward toward the lake. - Nothing was discernible but the thickening mist, and ove:head his’ balloon, which, as the air became lighter, had expantled the thin cloth covering to its utmost length. Fearful that he' might be carried inte:the lake, and without & pound of ballast to regulate his descent, he reached for the valverope, but thd valve would not open. Finally the Pro: fessor climbed up to;the netting from the outside, and tore a hole in tlie canvas with his teeth, having lost his pocket-knife.— Both of his bangs were frozen. The bal loon began to descend and. suddenly exploded, when more than two miles bigh, with a loud report, opening the silk from the top to the hottom. - The gas immediately escaped, but the shattered cloth act ed as a parachute, and he shortly afterwards found himself lying in the woods, where he laid a short time in an uncon: scious state, badly bruised, but be will recover. ; » oA

} A Thrilling Railroad Incident. | ‘A. D. Richardson tells this incident of l Pacific. railroad experience on the descending grade: .~ “At Elcho, -the other evening, three freight trains stood upon the main track, when word camé flashing over the telegraph from the Superinten ~dent ; ‘A locomotive and tender, without steam up, and with a 0 body on board, ~bave broken from a freight train, and started down the grade” - Ah, then andthere was hurrying toand fro! In a few minutes came a second message: ‘Shd thas just passed Castle Rock Station.’ Never were three trains got off upon : tiding with less delay.. Then ‘the work; men piled sleepers high upon the track: Lest even that should not stop - ‘her,’ an she should do murder further down thé road. they tore up the rails below. Jus i as this was accomplished, she came i'xé sight. She shot throught the sleeperé like & bullet through a pine board, send} ing them Alying in all directions; and, darkening the sir with splinters. But| at the broken track she jumped up and down with vexation, dnd finally plunged angrily, head foremost; intq'a hill-side.—;% She ran twenty six miles:in twenty-ning minutes—the best time yet made upofl the road.” ; sl e ok » Fossils in California. ;ié The Maripossa Gazette says: “We learti. that the miners in Curtiss’ claim, at Horsé - BBhoe bead, a few days since, uncovered remarkable deposit of fossil bones. The { largest constituted almost the entire skels eton of some monstrous animal, described by our iuformant as lying upon its belly (or the place where its belly ought to be) - measuring from the jaws to-the back of the pelvis 26 feet. = Much of the under jaw is gone, ‘but the upper jaw is entire, ~and the molar teeth, eight on each side, _measure three and a half inches across the ‘ face. Two smooth, tapering borns, 32 “inches in circumference’ at the base, project backward from the forehead five and - a half feet, and seem to have been langer, - but now broken off. . When cleaned from dirt and gravel the skull weighed about ‘5OO pounds, ~ Surrounding . the skeleton were found from 40 to 50 skulls, considered by those who.saw them to be humﬁn skulls, of the low type, and absut the size of the skull of & child of cight yeats.; The ribs and some other. portions of f&e‘ skeleton decayed rapidly after being un-. covered, but:the skull remains sound.~—i The fossils are now in tho hands of Capt.
