For the Saturday Evening Mail.] THE WITHERED LEAF. i-

BY KEV. E. CASK.

There, take this loaf within thy hand, And lay it on thy breast, If thou cans't think, if tlioiicans't feel

Let memory do the rest:

7 S r-

I offered thee my all of life 1 3 That childhood's years could give And only thought that in thy world,

Was aught for which to live.

But lime has taught me that a smile -May dimple o'er a cheek, And hide the falseness of a heart

Where truth alone should speak. I loved thee, and I trusted thee How much—O! who can tell? Have those who learn too late, like me,

That they have loved too well.

I will not cast reproach on thee, Although the word is spoken That makes thee all unbound and free,

With all they hoped to bring.

Yes! tnki' this withered leaf I give, And lay it on thy breast!

I'id It again in sunshine live, As I, when you eares'tl And when in coming years you think

Of happy days gone by, O, think you of the withered leaves That on my heart shall lit.-!

JiV i». r,

One afternoon, last summer, a lady i'.nd a gentleman were seated under the horse-chestnuts in the main iwenuc of the garden of the Tuilerics, at .Paris, which, as most folks know, is a public promenade!, and where numberless chairs are placed in rows and hired to fatigued prometK'dcrs at about six cents apiece.

After having drifted for some time watching the gambols of the little children, who were lost in admiration of "I'uiieh and .Judy," and of the noncommissioned ollicers, who were lost in admiration of their nurses, our two proincnadors rose to leave, when they were confronted by the proprietress of the chairs, who cloiuanded her twelve cents.

The lady searched in her pocket. "I declare," said she, laughing, "I've forgotten my porfe-monaie."

The gentleman felt his pockets in turn. •'I 'pon my word," said he, also laughing, "I've done the same."

This bv no means suited the views of the good woman. "That's played out," said she, or words to (hat ell'eel "it's all very fine for people to come here* and lounge upon chairs half the morning without paying, but I don't see the joke. want my money."

The gent Ionian frowned. "Here, Madame," said he, "take (his glove and return it to (he person who will bring you its fellow, and hand

Vou

your money." So saying, he departed with his companion, who with ditlicully refrained from bursting out laughing.

Suddenly the blue sky was overcast with dark clouds, whieh piled, themselves in a thr#afening manner, and our two pronieyaders had hardly left the garden before largo drops of rain began to fall. They hurried along, but had barely reached the entrance to the Kue du ('olysee when the rain poured down in torrents, and the street was converted into a ininiat ure river. There was not a cab to be seen, and our two pedestrians were forced to seek the shelter of an open gateway, as wet as a bucket of waf er.

The porter of I he house was occupied with a formidable broom in sweeping buck the water, whieh threatened to overflow the vestibule. "Madame," said he, "vou can't remain there under the gateway, you will catch yourdeath of cold. Conicintothe lodge, you will be comfortable."

The lady, alter glancing at her companion, said, "I accept your hospitality," and they both entered the lodge.

The worthy doorkeeper placed (hairs for his guests, and began to entertain I hem wit all the gossip of the neighborhood. A fter awhile, addressing the gentleman "Well, what do you think about poli( ics said he. "What do vou think yourself?" replied (he gentleman, evasively. "Whv, I think everything would be much better if cvervtliing was not so bad," returned he. "We wantreforms, 1 know very well that the Kuiperor is ready to granf them, and would beonly too glad. See here, if I could gei to see him. if 1 was his cousin, for instance, 1 would show him how to go to work." "You don't mean that Do vou think lit* would listen to you?" replied the gentleman, laughing.

Tho rain stiM fell, but not so violently. The lady rose, and going to the door, said: "Not a cab disengaged." "1 can lend you an umbrella if you wish to go home," said the porter. "With pleasure," replied (he jrentieman "we will return it to you immediately, we live near here."

It was a regular family roof, and might have easily sheltered three persons.

After having thanked the gatekeeper for his hospitality, the couple withdrew. "Perhaps I have compromised myself by talking politics before them," thought tho porter. "No," continued e, don't think so good, honest citizens."

An hour afterward, a lackey brought the umbrella back to the lodge with a letter and a purse, through the meshes of whieh a few gold pieces could be seen.

The letter contained these simple words: "Thanks."

And was signed. "The Cousin of the Kmporor." Leaving the lodge, the lackey wont to the garden of tiie Tuileries, and showing a glove to the proprietress of the chairs, said "Here, madamo, are twelve cents have the goodness to return the glove which his Imperial Highness. Prince Napoleon, left with you in pledge."

Such an adventure could never have happened to King Louis Philippe, who always carried his umbrella with him wherever lie went.

INDIA-URMIKR DKADKNINO Sorxn.— Wo once visited a factory where some forty or fifty eop]ersiiiiths wen'1 at work jn a shop above our heads but what was remarkable scarcely a sound of their noisy hammering "could be heard. On going upstairs we saw tho explanation. Kach leg of everv bench rested on a cushion made of ltidia-rul-bor cuttings. This completely deadened the sound.

PRETTY WOMEN.

Speaking of protty women, the Saturday Renew asks:* "After all, is tho world so very absurd in its love of pretty women? Is woman so very ridiculous in her chase after beauty? A pretty woman is doing wonians work in the world, not making speeches nor making puddings, but making life sunnier and more beatiful. Man has foresworn beautv altogether. It is hopeless to recall the l'erielean idea of innnlioori, to insist on the development of personal beauty as not less manly than that of personal virtue, to demand the grace of Canning from our statesmen or the dignity of Robertson from our divines. The world of action is a world of ugliness, and the good-looking fellow who starts for the pri7.es soon discovers that Madame de Oirarclin call mal/ietti' d'etre (wait is guessed to be frivi

And me almost heart-broken! And woman's lot is now my own— A lone neglected thing, Whose life and love are backward thrown,

v.. I 'VJ I I

resolute to be ugly there is no post for an Adonis but that of a model or a Guardsman. But woman does for mankind what man has ceased to do. She clings to the Periclean ideal. Her aim from very childhood is to be beautiful. Even as a school-girl she notes the progress of her charms, the deepening color of her hair, the growing symmetry of her arm, the ripening contour of her cheek. We watch with a silent interest the mysterious reveries ol the maiden she is dreaming of a coining beauty, and panting for the glories ol eighteen. Insensibly she boeomes an artist her room a studio, her glass an academy. The hours work with her, but she'works Avitli tho hours. "What silent musings before her mirror what dreams what discoveries, what disappointments, what careful gleaning of experience, what sudden Hashes 'of invention! The joy of her toilet is the joy of Rafl'aclle over his canvass, of Michael Angelo before his marble.' She is creating beauty in the silence and loneliness of her chamber she grows like any great art-creation, the result of patience, of hope, of a thousand delicate touchings and retouchings. But even to the Oioconda the moment of perfectness, of completion, conies at last tho master takes his work from the easel and gives it to the ages. Woman is never perfect, never "complete. A restless night undoes the beauty of the day sunshine blurs the evanescent coloring of her cheek frost nips the tender outlines of her face into sudden harshness. Her pencil has ever to be at work even while tlie hours work for her, and the hours work against her at last. Care ploughs its lines across her brow motherhood destroys the elastic lightness of her form the bloom of her chock, the quick flash of her eye, fade and vanish as the years go by. ililt woman is still true to her ideal. She won't know when she is beaten, and manages (o steal fresh victories even in defeat. She invents new conceptions of womanly grace she rallies at thirty, and fronts us with the beauty of womanhood she makes a last stand at sixty with tho beauty of age. It is the same great artist who exhibits year after year, but whoso style ranges from the girjish innocence of a Fra Angelico to the severe matronage of a Zurbaran. She falls, like Cjesar, wrapping her initio around her—'buried in woolen! 'twould asaint provoke!' Death listens pitifully to tho longings of a lifetime, and the wrinkled face smiles back its last cold smile with, something of the prottiness of eighteen.

"Perhaps the one lat&r prettiness that a woman feels to have real power, more real, perhaps, than the prettiness of youth is the prettiness of 'old age. There is the charm of life's afterglow over the gray, quiet head, tho pale, tender face, lit iip with a sweetness, a pitifulness, that only experience and sorrow can give. It. is there, somehow, that we bring our troubles and find peace. It is there, at any rate, that wo read a subtler and diviner beauty than in the rosy cheeks of girlhood—a beauty spiritualized, mobile with every thought and emotion, yet restful with the rest of years. An infinite tenderness and largeness of heart, a dignity whose grace and naturalness robs it of all sense of restraint, a touch that has in it all the gentleness of earth, a smile that has something of the coinpassionateness of heaven, this is ho apothesis of pretty women."

Tin-: I**MpitKSS 10v( K\n:'s DIAMONDS. The Empress has never danced since tho death of her sister, tho Duchess of Alba, but she appears in tho ball-room on a dais prepared for her, where she remains, surrounded by her ladies and it is at such times that a few foreigners of rank and other distinguished persons are presented to her by the Lord Chamberlain. The drosses which appear on this dais are (riilv the ne /tlttx ultra of elegance and costliness. "Who could count the number of millions of diamonds and other precious stones collected in that small space? Tho toilette of the Knipress herself is, if not always the most costly—the Baroness Rothschild, for instance, often has the whole body of her dress studded with diamonds—yet always the most elegant there. At one Court ball she wore a white satin dress embroidered with gold, the blonde tlounees looped up with amethysts, a diadem of amethysts on her head, and her nooklaco and bracelets of the same stones. Nothing more lovely or more charming had ever boon seen, and an "ah!" of astonishment escaped from a thousand lips.— Sketches nf Jtodcrn Tari.t.

CONCKAI.MKNTS IN LOVK.—It is inexpressibly important- for those who would take life's pilgrimage together, so to speak and act that neither shall I bo an enigma to the other. Suspicion

thov look like 'u* Prisonous fruit of misapprehension and countless fond hearts have been wounded—tunny severed by tho reservation, unnatural to a purejattachmcnt, instilled by worldly advisers.

There oaiT be no greater bane to happiness than such advice, received and acted upon nothing more conducive to real enjoyment of life than faith in tho object beloved. And who among tho good would not be frank? In proportion as wo act rightly, so is there less incentive for concealment and then1 is no solid ground for felicity apart from openness of word and deed.

NOVKLH.—I believe in them. I think that if they are good they are useful. I lieliove that they are no more to be disallowed than iui}* other literature. Tliey can lx» made to serve the very best ends of economy, of virtue and morality, to say nothing of religion but a man who Ms on nothing hut

WA TERLOO THE DAY THE BATTLE. On a surface of two squaro miles it was ascertained that 50,000 men and horses wero lying. Tho luxuriant crop of ripe grain whieh had covered tho field of battle was reduced to litter, and beaten into tho earth, and the sur face trodden down by the cavalry and furrowed deep by tho cannon wheels, was strewn with many a relic ot tho tight.

Helmets and cuirasses, shattered firearms and broken swords, all the variety of military ornaments, lancer caps and Highland bonnets, uniforms of every color, plume and pennon, musical Instruments, the apparatus of artillery, drums, bugles—but good God! Why dwell on the harrowing picture of a battle-field?

Each ifrnl everv ruinous display bore

Outside, lancers and cuirassiers were scattered thickly on tho earth. Madly attempting to force the serried bayonets of the British, they had fallen in the bootless essav, bv the musketry of the inner tiles. Farther on, you traced the spot where the cavalry of Franco and Kngland encountered. Chasseur and hussar wero intermingled, and tho heavy Norman horse of the Imperial Guard were interspersed with tho gray chargers which had carried Albion's chivalry. Here the Highlander and tiralleur lay side by side, together and the heavy dragoon, with Green Erin's badge upon his helmet, was grappling in death with the Polish lancer.

On the summit of the ridge, where the ground was covered with the dead, and trodden fetlock-deep in mud and gore, by the frequent rush of rival cavalry, the thick strewn corpses of the Iinper\al Guard pointed out where Napoleon was defeated. Here, in column, that favored corps, on whom his last chance rested, had been annihilated and the advance and repulse of tho Guard was traceable by amass of fallen Frenchmen. In the hollow below, the last struggle of France had boon vainly made for there the Old Guard, when tho middle battalions had been forced back, attempted to meet the British, and afford time for her disorganized companions to rally. Hero the British left, which had converged upon the French centre, had come,up and here tho bayonet closed the contest.

SUPERSTITION OF PI ANT A TION NEGROES. Boundless is the superstition of the negro race. The untutored savages of Africa, of whom M. du Chaillu tolls us, are not more credulous of supernatural influences affecting their every day life than tho blacks of the South. To them the solitudes of Nature are peopled with malignant incorporeal beings, and the night is tilled with terrors. The horseshoe is always nailed ovei* the door of. tho negro's "cabin-. Thei ha«e perfect faith in good and badAluck, signs, charms, incantations, abracadabra. Like all people entirely ignorant of phj'sical laws, they refer the phenomena by which they are surrounded to miraculous agencies. They have the banshee and the evil eve. Ghosts are as real in their ken as their daily companions. They believe that on the anniversaries of tho great battles the dead of Manassas and ShiIoh, of Lookout Mountain and Spottsylvania, come out of their graves at midnight and fight tho conflict over again. But of all their superstitions, notie possesses them so thoroughly as thai of being "tricked." You may, perhaps, shake their belief in "spccrits" in particular jnstanccs, but the "tricked darkey" is not to be moved from his conviction that some other negro has east a spell over him that can never bo lifted unless by a counter-charm of equal potency. The form which this delusion take's is most frequently that of acute rheumatism. "Old Undo llarry" is a martyr to rheumatic pains, and is convinced that an enemy has buried bones iji his vegetable garden, and that, until these arc discovered and removed, his own osseous organization will rack in agony. The utter wretchedness of the darkey while under the mastery of this singuhirsuperstition is indescribable. He wanders about, refusing to be comforted, moping, mooting, and mowing. He digs among his peas and potatoes for the hidden tibia and fibula, with which his own aching joints are in sympathy, and not until ho has found them can the skill of the physician avail to give him relief. But while the rheumatic form of "tricking" is the most common and the bone theory a favorite one, the modes and manifestation of this malignant sorcery are numberless. Sometimes the spell is cast upon his bod and sometimes upon his garments. It is wakefulness, neuralgia, or toothache. "Harry is oneasv in his mind, and has got a misery in his head." Again it is a "gal" that'has wrought the mischief, and the old negro is "Merlin," at the mercy of some wolly-hoaded, invisible Vivien." "Old Harry" is very often "tricked," like many less superstitious pebple, in his whiskey, only that lie refers* the effects of this baleful drench to his mysterious enemy rather than to the number of his drinks or the vileness of tho distillation.

"PA, will you got me a pair of skates if I will prove to you that a dog has ten tails?" "Yes. my son." "Well, to begin one dog has one more tail than no dog, hasn't "ho?" "Yes." "Well, no dog has nine tails and if one dog has one more tail than no dog, then one dog must have ten tails." lie got the skates.

IN a sentence of thirty-five words ."that" can be grammatically inserted eighteen times, as follows: "He said that Uhaf that that man said was not that that that that one should say, but that that 'that* that that man said was that UhaV that that man should not say." That is good grammar, but poor rhetoric. 1

anoo of this scene of death bo heightened, it would bo by witnessing tho researches of the living amidst its desolation for tho objects of their love. Mothers and wives and children for days wero occupied in that mournful duty and the confusion of (he corpses —friend and foe intermingled, as they were, often rendered the attempt at recognizing individuals -difficult, and in some cases impossible. In many places the (lead lay four deep upon each other, making the spot where some British square had occupied, when exposed for hours to the murderous tire of a French battery.

POUTS SONG OF" THE HELLS Tho following incident was related by a member ot tho Baltimore bar, who at tho timo of its occurrence was but recently admitted to practice. Tho truth of tho statement may bo depend od on and oven tho conversation in trod need I givo, I think, nearly word for word as reported to me. .At tho poriod referred to thoro wero several single-storied houses on the oast side of St. Paul street, botwoen Lexington and Saratoga streets, each of which contained but two rooms They wero rathor massive—according to presont ideas—constructed of brick but have boon for a long time displaccc by tall and stately buildings. One of these single-storied houses was occupied by my informant. Tho front apartment was used as a law office, the roar as a sleeping room.

One calm and clear moonlight winter night, when, tho snow lay deep upon the city streets and roofs' Sir. was making preparations to retire to bed, when his front door bell was rung. He aroused his negro servant boy, who was nodding on his stool by the'chimney corner, and sent him to open the door to his late visitor.

The boy almost immediately returned alone. He said that nobody was at the door, but that a gentleman was standing in the sriow in the middle of the ftreet, talking to himself and tossin lis arms about.

M. now went to the front door himself. When he opened it ho found one who was evidently a gentleman—he could see that by the moonlight—standing on the pavement facing liiin. "Was it you who rang my bell he asked. "Yes, sir," was the reply. "I owe you an apology for disturbing you at an hour so unseasonable. But the fact is, some thoughts have come into my mind which I wish to commit to paper, and seeing alight in your back window, (the house stood on the corner of an alley), and considering it a matter of course that a lawyer's office is supplied with stationery, I took tho liberty of ringing your bell." "You are very welcome," said the lawyer. "Walk in, sir."

The stranger followed him into the inner apartment, where a bright coal ft 'was burning in the grate. The manner of his guest was so impressive of intellect that Mr. offered a bed but the visitor only asked the use of a chair, table and writing materials. So the negro boy lay down upon his pallet on the floor, and the young UXAVyer retired to his bed, leaving the stranger bending over the table.

When Mr. awakened in the morning his strange visitor was sitting in a chair, with his head upon the table, asleep. The motion made by the young lawyer on awakening aroused the stranger. The latter seemed at once to be wide awake. He arose from his seat, thanked his host for his hospitality, and gracefully apologized for his intrusion on the previous night. He was then about to leave the room. "You are forgetting your manuscript," says the young lawyer, pointing to some pieces of paper lying on the table. "I have a copy of what I liavo composed," said the stranger, "and leave the original with you as some acknowledgment of your" kindness under circumstances so trying."

The stranger ieft. The lawyer did not know unil a long time afterward, when the "Songiof the Bells'V-of which he ,st?UWiaft-tJ»«^pigm«4~hatlJbwti published and become famous, that his singular visitor was Edgar A. Poe.

FRANKNESS ILLUSTRATED. Some persons profess great love of frankness they would have 'no concealments among friends or even acquaintances, but would have every man lot his thoughts be seen as plainly as if he had a pane of glass in his breast. Miss Mitford, in one of her letters recently published, tells an anecdote of Godwin,the author of "Caleb Williams," which is a good commentary on this doctrine. Godwin was once visiting a friend of hers, in company with Curran, and protended, as usual, to go to sloop after dinner. That it was only make-believe was. however, very visible and Curran seized the opportunity to treat his worthy host with a character of Godwin the most bitter that his malice could invent, qualifying every phrase with, "though ho is my friend." The contortions of the philosopher, who dared not show that ho was awake during this castigat-ion, and the pretended fear which Curran showed of awakening him, the concealed anger of the one when ho did venture to open his eves, and the assumed innocence of the other —formed a scene, says Miss Mitford, which no comedy over equaled. The 'advocate of sincerity, the frank philosopher, Godwin, never forgave this practical exemplification of his theory.

AITTOBIOOHAPHIKS are (he fashion just now. Kossuth is writing his, Gladstone has given the public the commencement of his, and Disraeli is said to have his own in process of construction.—Victor Hugo made §32,000 from his publications last year, but spent nearly the whole amount in aiding his sons to establish the Rappel newspaper in Paris.—The King of Saxony, now seventy years of age, has just begun to studv the Polish and Russian languages. lie wishes to translate into German some of tho gems of Scandinavian literature.

XKW POSTAL SVSTKM IN ArsntiA.— A new mode of postal communication, suggested in this country, is being employed in Austria for short and insignificant messages. Cards are sold for three centimes, and the sender writes his address on one side, theinessage on tho other, and tlirows it into tho nearest letter box, thus economising tho expense and trouble of envelopes. Tho postal cards are stamped tmd circulated by thousands over the Austrian empire, and thov are in universal use at railway stations, and for correspondence on journeys.

AN American traveler, with that enterprise whieh is a national characteristic, has made a proposal to the Italian government to lease Mount esuvius! He thinks he can make a good thing of it by laving out roads and pleasuregrounds, building hotels, and setting up soda fountains on its summits. Moreover, he proposes to taTcc visitors up and down by machinery. Those who want to see the show must pay a small admission fee.

Sot'TITKRN papers notice that, whereas in times past Southern people paid little attention to the mg business, and thought it rather humiliating to hoard their nigs and bring them to market, since the war the business has become rather a feature there.

The grain is distributed by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under tlu hopper these wheels carry the grain upwards to a discharge opening in the cup and force it out, and with it force out straws and. other obstruct ions. It is utterly impossible to choke it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is half chaff, and by turning the wheel it is carried through as well as clean wheat.

It will sow any kind of grain, and in any quantity desired. In other force feed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wheel and putin another and the cog wheels are loose and liable to be lost. In the
