Norwalk (Suzette. Tuesday, May 8. 1866. m... the Shilling Magazine. Destiny. Olaf and Gonthrou, abbot's thralls, Were hcwing abbey wood ; Pine beams for chancel roof they sought, And oak beams for the road. Around “I'll north and South there rose The cuckoo flowers in bloom ; But overhead the raven cranked, Amid the pine trees’ gloom. Blue miles ofdrooping hyacinths Spread where the saplings grew ; But still the raven boded ill, Above them out of view, The violets long had passed away i But where the axes rang— Allin between the hazel stems— The purple orchis sprang. The wild deer eyed them down the dell, Down from the great beech tree The climbing squirrel turned to look, And watched them silently. The sunshine, barred with shadow-firs, . ' Cast gleams across the dell ; The thrushes piped and fluted Where‘er the sur'ibeams fell. Woodpeckers ceased no measured toil, Hearing the woodmen’s tread; No merry blackbird hushed his song ; No echoing cuckoo fied. a With axes glitteringkeen and bright, Amid the fir-trees" line ; - With song and psalm and gibe and curse, . They hewed a stately pine. In splashing showers the splinters new,- Around them as they wrought f‘ Deep in the centre of the glade They‘d found the tree they sought,-—‘ A giant mainmast,—massy, huge Alljagg‘d with broken spars, With lessening ledges of close boughs, Impierceable by stars. I They clove it slowly, gash by gash. With ever hungry steel :— SIowly before their stalwart arms The tree began to reel “Who knows“ .quoth Olaf, laughiii g-eyed, “Thistree that soon will fall MayProve a gibhet for some wretch To swing and scare us all t" Then Gontliron laughed, and bit his beard , And Bid, “Why Olaf, man, Wé how the beams for the orga n-loi't And for a shaven clan." is Just then, beneath the heaving roots, They saw a brazen urn, Brimming with coined Roman gold, That in ads their wild eyes burn. Theyran to it, they fought for it, . They grappled in their pride ; — Till wild beast Genthron struck his knife Into fierce Olaf’s side. On that day week the raven sat Above the fir-treesllne, And croaked his prophecies fulfilled Upon the gibbet pine. Above the spot that still was red With murdered Olaf‘s blood Swang Couthron-he, the abbot‘s thrall, Who’d hewed the gibbet wood. w. e. .<.>ao— A NEW YORK Miss on Six Yuma—The shortness and expansive character of the skirt worn by this young person imparted to her the general appearance of a ballet dan- car as one of those evolutionary artistes ap- pears when executing a piroustte. The ex- pensive lace frill of the pantalettes descend- ing no lower than just to kiss the top of the long white stocking somewhere in the region of the knee. The skirt, which was white, was adorned with much elaborate fluting in blue ribbon. Over this was worn a little cloak of black velvet that must have cost ever so much a yard, and all the margins of this were studded thickly with small silver buttons. On the fair head of the young per- son under notice there sat jauntily, a white jockey hat trimmed with streamers of blue ribbon and surmounted with a white ostrich plume. Boots of abright vermillion hue en- cased the feet of this favored child. Her parasol was of white silk, lined and tagged with the same in scarlet, and she was pro- vided with a little pocket handkerchief of which the lace might have been worth about ten dollars. The hair of the child was flax- en, and would have been beautiful had it not been crimped painfully over cushions or wads. She had jeweled rings in her little white ears, and, as she drew off one tiny, tau- colorcd J ouvin glove, we could see that her little white fingers were bejeweled also. 1 to Round Table. . .-.>. Mn. BEECHERS EXPERIENCE—Rev. Hen- ry Ward Beecher told his religious expe- rience at one of his recent conference meet- ings in Brooklyn; He said he was a pro- fessor of religion for some years before he was a Christian. After graduating at Am- herst he began the study of theology at Cincinnati, and was still not only not a Christian, but sceptical. The influence of his father decided him to study. One of the sons had swung oil into scepticism and should another follow it would break the old man’s heart. He did not intend to be a minister. The study of theology would not hurt him, and he need not go into the work when the course was completed. Without cOnversion and without believing in Christianity he be- came a student of theology. . While in the seminary some ladies belonging to the first families of Cincinnati, connected with the Second church, urged him to become teacher in a Bible class. What could he do? He who was not an experimental Christian, but was sceptical. how could he teach in what he did not know, and how could he teach in what he did not believe ? He was a mem- ber of the church and a theological student. He accepted the trust that he could not hon- orably decline. All he need to do was to tell the class what the gospel contained. He need nottcll them what he thought of them. So he began his work. He studied and col- lated theGospels. He took all passages, scraps, hints and facts that bore on the char- acter of Jesus, and his relations to guilty and lost men. Jesus appeared to him in those . Scriptures. He smote the rock and the wa- _ ters gushed out. He saw the Saviour in all his love and compassion, and fell at his feet to addre, “Never till I get home,” said Mr. Beecher, “will I have brighter visions of my ‘ Redeemer. I saw Jesus in all things-4n the flowers, in the fruits, in the trees, and in the sky, and above all in the Gospel.",‘, ——'—o«.» ' WA ludicrous and significant incident occurred at one of Mr. Colton’s laughing gas exhibitions at St. Louis last week. A young gentleman whileunder the influence of the mtoxicating atmosphere, after having ex- pressed himself on the subjects uppermost in his mind, burst out as follOws: " I am a rebv cl soldier have been in the rebel army, fought at Yicksbmg and Port Hudson, and would like to do it ain ; but now Andy , Johnson Is my man. y G—d, he’s the man for me.” The audience enjoyed the fellow’s , enthusiasm, but he looked rather sheepish when his friends told him that he had “ let the cat out of the bag." ‘ 0‘.» —-An exchange advertises for a horse, “for a lady of dark color, a good trotter, 32d of stylist? 1:lction 1” The horse “must youn , an ave a lon tell about fiftee hands higgh l” g .n “ To her -_—-A wag says of a woman: virtue we ve love; to her beauty, admira- to her hoops, the whole pave- ation; anfii ment. ’ —~O'Leary,.gazing with astonishment on 3 clvvillfinkt, 11:1 a thielnaagerie, asked the keep- ‘ inoa steista "’ with its tail.” b t aitin hay —-‘A pair ofprctty eyes,” said Coxcomb, "are the best mirrors to shave by.” “ Yes ” replied old Hunk, the bachelor, “and I bade known many a man shaved by them," —"Pray, Miss 0.,” said a gentleman the other evemn , “why are ladies so fond of officers 1’” “ ow stupid i" replied she; "is it not natural that a lady should like a good ofier sir?” . ——‘W>- 4,5.

Patent Metallic Sole. A NEW INVENTION. Wetting the feet is the most prolific cause of dis- ease and death known to humanity. It is almost sure to bring and cold; and colds, neglected. and often when not neglected,lcud to fevers or to con he and fatal consumptions. It is in recognition of t is truth that the inventive talent of the country has forycnrs been devising some method. or attempt- ing to devise it, for keeping the feet dry, and yet should not give inconvenience to the wearer. Rub- ber shoes, in one form or another, have hitherto been our reliance; but it is well known, as among their many evils, that while they keep the feet dr from external moisture, they sweat them over mac and by thus inducing an undue tenderness increase a snSceptibility to colds rather than otherwise.— They are also cumbersome to the feet and withal are very expensive, The demand is for something that shall make the ordinary Boot and Shoe imper- vious to water, without afiecting their elegance or durability, and, if possible, without adding sensibly to the cost of their manufacture. These, it will be conceded,. are most important features, and we con- scientiously affirm that they are absolutely attained in the invention herewith presented to the public. . The invention consists in inserting between the inner and outer sole, when the boot is making, athin METALLIC PLATE, exceedingly ductile, combining .ilexnbility with toughness verylight, and every way adapted to the end desired, while the additional ex- pense is merely nominal. It furnishes a perfect barrier against the admission of wet or dampness, though the feet may be exposed ever so long upon wet pavements or damp ground. To the ladies and children the METALLIC SoLss will be of incalculnble value, as from their habits of life and delicacy of dress, thsyearc. particularly exposed to the long train of ills that attend upon an nade- quate protection to the feet. These Soles have already been tried by the best of all tests, ACTUAL Use, and the testimonials to their merits, freely proffered. indicate that they must he s cedily and universally adopted by the public. ‘lic Patent Metallic Soled Boots and Shoes are being introduced into the leading Boot and Shoe Stores throughout the United States, and will supplant all forms of overshoes, except possibly for deep mud or snow, as they become known. Be sure to get them, and take no other. - If your shoemaker does not hn pen to have them, he can procure them Without di culty. If he will not, then send your- selftp the inventor one dollar and thirty cents, and obtain 51x pair, assorted, sizes, with right to use, which will be promptly forwarded by mail or express Ere-paid, and which can be made up by an shoema- crin the country. Agencies will he sets lished in every city and village, and supplied with Soles and propriety stamps,at schedule prices, andliberal com- mission allowed on sales. Also General Agencies for States appointed on application, with proper tes- timonials to the inventor. SAMUEL J. SEELY, General De ot, corner City Hall Place and Read street. New ork. Testimonials, The undersigned have for the past six months worn Boots and Shoes possessin Mr. Seely’s Mr:- TALLIO Sons, and findthem an e 'eciual preventive against dampness. and the colds so often taken from damp feet. Most gladly do we testify to the perfect efficiency of their service. The Metalic Sole is not only a grand contribution to the cause of gen- eral health, but a fiasiliué luxury, obviating all necessity of India ubbcr shoes, exceptin muddy weather. All ordinary dampness, and even water upon the pavements, is completely foiled of its pow- er of harm by this most simple and useful invention. No one who has once used them will evei- be with- out them avain, as they increase the cost of boots and shoes y a sum which is reckoned among the first conditions ol'health and comfort. We heartily commend the "Metallic Sole” to all the sensible. J. LEMENT FRENCH, Pastor Central Con . Church, Brooklyn. MAR A. FRENCH. NEW YORK, Dec., 1865. SAMUEL J.
