A double life is this of ours;
A twofold form wherein we dwell:

With weary feet we daily tread,

A ‘prisoner in the petty bound.

A shadow among the things that seem;

Quietly dressing, so as not to woken the

energetic strides had brought him close to

The Deacon’s Wife.
Deacon Flint had decided to move; had
decided to move to 0.; had decided to com-
mence moving at precisely five. o’clock
Monday morning, :July 18th ; and so, on
that identical Monday morning, you might
had you been an early riser, have seen the
deacon, divested of his coat and his Sunday
dignity, shaking the best-room carpet in the
back yard. 7
There is no need of saying What he did
next, or What Mrs-Flint was doing then.
They went through the tearing-up pro-
cess very much as other people do; and, not
being endowed with up over-abundance of
this world’s goods, the last load of furniture,
consisting of the dcacon’s Wife and baby,
lbthins and the best-room looking-glass,
was on its way to the depot at five o’clock
P. M.

‘ “Blessed be nothing I” said the tired little
WOMzugfigsin arm-f— - "‘z“ '
wagon;"“Ifwe had been Squire Ransom’s

folks, Samuel, we wouldn’t have been more
than a quarter through now woiiki we?
\Iy l how my poor bones would have inched,
though, this time tomorrow night. . I’m
glad the Lord knows what’s best for me,”
she added, tokingpthe baby from the deacon}
and looking around for. the twins.
It was but a few hours’ ride to _C., and,
just in the coolest dusk of the July tWiliglit,
they walked up the street to their new home
very tired and thankful—thankful they
were not “Squire Ransom’s folks,” but just
themselves,_if they did have to work late
that night putting up. the kitchen stove and
unpacking dishes and bedding.
Tuesday was a day of many troubles.
The babies were tired and fretful ; daylight
revealed a coating of dirt on doors and win-
dows, the depth of which they knew not
before; and the heat was intense.
But the deacon, possessing untiring ener-
gy. and his ,little wife the sunniest of
tempers, they succeeded so well that, by
Thursday night, as he came into the kitchen
with an armtul of wood, where his wife was _
Washing dishes, she commenced singing :

“The deacon thinks his work is most done.

But I feel as if mine had just begun."

“Did you hear that, Samuel?” she said,
laughing, and turning around to look' at
him.
It was prayer-meeting night, and the
deacon went to prayer-meeting for the first
time in 0., took an active part, 'und, after
meeting, waited to shake hands with the
minister and some of the brethren, answer
inquiries, and present their letters.
He hadthe satisfaction of feeling on his
way home that he had made a good impres-
sion; it pleased him ; it would have pleased
us; and he told his little wife that night, in
his grave way, that he “hoped, coming as
he did into the midst of a' strange people,~
there might never be any occasion of re-
'llIlil‘k against him while he remained among
them.” ' .' ' .
“I’m. sure I hope not, Samuel,” she said,
looking innocently up in his face, and add4
ing, as she nestled her little brown head on
his shoulder, “I dont feel very much alarm-
ed about it.” '
-The next day, Friday, the deacon Went
back to the old home, having some business
settlements to make there.
,“Can’t tell certain when I shall be back;
probably not till Monday noon ;guess there’s
wood enough split to last till then. Good-
by,” he said and was gone. ’
The wee woman went singing back to
her half-washed dinner dishes, and, with
one foot on the cradle rocker, she scoured
the knives, while she told the story of “J ack
and Gill” to the twins. '
When the last kettle was washed, the
kitchen Steve and- table was brushed and
Secured to the usual shade of black and
white, the baby asieep'in her little nest of ‘a
cradle, “bless her I” she washed the pretty
twins till they blushed like rcdpeppers,-then
settled them in their trundle-bed for a nap.
Dear little Woman ! She looked so
fatigued as she came from the bedroom, and
stopped to brush a. ' fly from under the
mosquito not over the baby, it Would have
made your back ache to look at her. But
the cheery heart in the weary body asserted
itself, and she smiled with the thought ofall
she would do before the deacon came back.
“I must slick my hair over a little, so if
any one should come I wouldn‘t spoil the
deacons’ reputation,” She said to herself,

Just then a gem ofirsunbcuin flashed in
at the window, and seemed to tangle itself
all up in the wavy brown hair. V

and a laugh like a child’s. “Guess if some-

they both were completely won. When
they rose to go, Deacon Frost said to Deacon
Flint, “It is our missionary meetingito-nighl,
broiher,andaliltle explanation from you
there will set the matter right, I guess.”

Up spoke the feminine voice again: “0,
yes, Deacon Frost, Samuel was intending to
explain lo-night. I only wish I could be
there, but I can’t leave the babies."

“Ifyou hayc no objections, Mrs. Flint,"
replied the deacon, “my Susie will come and
stay with them, and let you go; she would
be (lelightct .”

‘ “0, thank you! that would be so nice';
you are verylkindi” and she bowed them
out of the door.

"Ain’t you glad, you married me, Samuel,
instead ofAbigail HoWe ?” said. the small
woman, smiling up at him. No mailer
What the deacon said and did.

As she was selling the tea-table that night
she broke out into another merry laugh.
“What’s the matter now, dear ‘3” said the
deacon. '

Such a laugh as rang out .lheu on the
Sunday air I’m sure the good people of C.
never heard before. ,“0, Samuel," she said,
holding her sides, “it’s so funny i no wonder
the folks stared at me and my clothes: 0.
ho, ho l” and she sank down;ou the grass in
a convulsion of laughter-

The poor deacon was ”scandalized
“Martha!” he said, in such a sadly-anxious
tone she only laughed the more, and it was
not till Sim looked up in his face that she
realized how he was touched; then she
stood up soberly, and walked into the house
With him. .
The door closed behind them. She went
up to him with a little caress, and said,
“Samuel, kiss and forgive me, and I’ll go to
work and revel it all out. I truly will i”
and she laughed again with the mought of
what she had been guilty of till the deacon
kissed her, and laughed too, in spite of him-
self. Then he walked to the window, and
looked out,
. “You‘re not going to let them clothes
hang out there all day, are you, Martha
Flint i”. ' - ,

“Of course I am; you don‘t suppose, now.
I’ve got them out, God’s .,going to grudge
me the sunshine to dry them with, because
it’s Sunday, do you ! Why it would be
Wicked to bring them in’ before sundown.
But see here, Mr. Deacon, it’s abolit time I
called you to account, I think. How came
you to be travelling to-‘day ? Guess there’s
a little Sunday-breaking on both sides, isn’t
there ?”
The deacon turned slowly around, and
sat down. Thpn pcrching herself on his
knee, she took his honest brown face in her
hands, and said, “Be a good boy, now, and
tell me all the truth; remember George
Washington, dear.” '
The deacon smiled, just a trace of trouble
u higsmile, and taking the hands'tbal held

I liadevery thing finished up last
night, ready to start for home 'on the five
O’clock train. Somehow I must have been
uncommon tired, or else it was the heat
leastways, I dropped to sleep in the depot
and missed the train. Then I thought I’d
take the nine o’clock train, and get home at
midnight, so’s you wouldn’t be so lonesome
Sunday, but we broke'down, and just got
here half an hour ago. Then to think, after
walking through town, from the cars, and
folks a lookin’ at me on their way to
church—”

“To think, Samuel,” she

your front gate, out; find your Wife hanging
out clothes in your front yard, and you a
deacon of good standing in the chlll'CIlI
O, dear! what do you suppose the Lord will

broke in, “after

I don’t think,” she added, “he’ll be very
hard on me, because yesterday was my
Sunday, though Iliad such a sick headache
it seems I didn’t know much about the day.
I’ll tell you what, Samuel, I’ll stay at home
with the babies tc-night, and you can gO‘ 'to
meeting, and then piece out your Sunday
to morrow; won’t that do?”

But the deacon couldn’t get over -it—his
heartwas heavy; and while his Wife was
busy in the kitchen he put on his hat, and
with his hands clasped reverenlly behind
him (his Sunday walk) slowly and solemnly
he walked out to the clothesline. ' ' .
Most of the clothes were dry, for the sun
was very hot ; and one by one he dropped
the snowy things into" the basket, uncon-
sciously humming to himself, “Have pity,
Lord; 0 Lord, forgivo." ‘

Mrs. Flint was washing dishes, and
nearly dropped her best glass dish, When
the deacon walked in with the clean clothes-
“I couldn’t stand it, Martha,” he said in ex-
planation. ‘

“Guess I must sprinkle and iron them to:
day, Samuel, would you ?" she said, arohly,
The deacon-merely ejaculated a disap—
proving “My dear l" and wentinto the other
room to read his Sunday paper.

By-and-by the people began to come from
church, What a suddcusurprising‘ interest
they seemed to have taken in his household
premises i_ They gazed and stared, and
looked back and gazed again. But the
deacon was a bumblelnan, it didn’t flatter
him ; he read his paper and sighed again,
and then “fell to thinking.”

A little while after, two arms stole softly
around his neck, and a dear voice said,
“Forget all about 'it, dear, and I’ll—” A
knock at the door interrupted, and she
'went to open it. .
She had brushed her brown wavy hair,
and dressed in a‘ cool While muslin dress,
with fur-between (lettings of pink, and look-1
ed not a bit likellic guilty little n'asllwomau
she was. She opened the door, and Deacon
Frost and Elder Cummins introduced them-
selves, and walked in with stately bows.
Deacon Flint rose from his open Bible, and
more introductions followed, whereupon
Elder Cuminins cleared his little throat, and
inn piping voice said:

“ You must excuse, .Deacon Flint, our
coming on such a day, but we thought it
best that some explanations should be made
before our people again gather for evening
service.”

“Oh, I know what you mean; I go css El-

(lays somehow, I was so busy sellling, and
so yesterday was my Slinday, though I was
in bed all day with a sick headache, and so
didn’t find out my nilsl'ake at all. Then
wasn’t it funny? ‘I gol up atfive this morn-
ing, and went to washing, thinking it was
Monday, and I’d get all through befo'rc the
deacon came home. I declare I’ve lau'ghed
so about it I fairly ache;” antistbe little
feminine offender laughed again, and so
contagiously that the three laughed Willi her.

_“ I’ve been so good, though, Elder, the
rest Ofthe day, I’m sure the Lord has for-
given me for it ;” and she smiled So sweetly

 

from the love of God which

do to me for thinking this was wash-day? V

was away, and I made a miscount in the‘

deacon and his wife started for church.

“Don’t be to humble, Samuel,” she whis-

pered at the deer; “work in a little spice if
it‘you can, and I’ll stop on your come when

it’s time to stop."

The meeting wan open as usual; then

Brother Dean was called upon for a report

from India. '

A little wiry,black-eyed man rose and

said, “Brethren, it’s not much use reporting

from heathen countries, when right. in our

midst deacons travel on Sunday, and dea-

cons’ wives wash andhang out their clothes '
before our very eyes as we walk to the
house ofGodl loci! for' an explanation.”
Deacon Flint tried to rise, but somebody
pulledililn down, and the next minute the
whole congregationswas electrified by the
sound of a sweet womanly voice, saying:

“ ‘NOW, 0 Lord, establish thy Word unto
thy servant, so shall I have wherewith to
answer him that reproacbeth me, for I trust
in thy Word.’ ”- Then turning to him she
said, “My brother, you shall have an ekpia‘
nation,” and in a simple, almost childlike
Way she told the story other mistake, and
the dcacon’s.delay,then added, “ ‘My brother,
judge nothing before the time, until the

Lord come; For we shall stand before the

judgment-seat of Christ, and every one shall
give an account of himself to God ; let us
not, therefore, judge-one another any more.’
Your sleep, my brother, will “be stveet to-
night if your heart is at peace with God, .as
mine is. ‘ForI am persuaded that neither
death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any .
other creature, shall beable to separate me
is in Christ
Jesus, our Lord.’ ”

The next morning the Rev. Henry Brown
and his wife called ' very unceremoniously
on the new deacon. “We knew it wouldn’t
be washing day here,” laughed Mrs. Brown,
“50 we came early; I could hardly wait to

'get here and talk over the funny affair.

Henry said, after you sat down last night,

ashamed of myself afler I got through, I .
wanted to hide my head under the deacon’s
coat! ’Twas the first time I ever spoke in
meeting in my life.,, . '

“I hope it won’t be the last, Mrs.‘Flint, if
you always speak as~much to the purpose
as you (lid'last night,” ‘said the minister,
coming forward. . '

- “Yes,” broke in his wife, “Henry said he’d
always advocate women’s speaking in meet-
ing after this.”

“It was capital l” said Mr. Brown, rccross-
ing the room to Where the deacon stood.
“Just what Job Dean has needed for a long
time—a good reproot—but no one had the
courage to give ii to him. Your little wife
has just done What the Whole parish will
thank her for.” '

“Every body I’ve ‘seen since is just en-
raptured with you,” said his wife to the
laughing heroine, who had been rehearsing
all the funny passages to her. “You have
made yourself famous; look out for plenty
ofcalls this week i"

“0, well, she said,” tossing the baby, “the
washing is done, and I shall have plenty of
time.”

Mrs. Brown laughed, and said, “I think
I shall send you word next Saturday "night .
that the next day will be Sunday, and you
had beltter not wash till Monday.”

“Mrs. Flint,” said the minister, “I think
you fully competent to manage your own
affairs, Without any of my wife’s interfer-
ence,” and so laughing merrily, they depart-
ed.

“Samuel,” said his- bonnie wife as she‘
closed the (loci-,“don't you think I've in—'
’ troduced you pretty well? Will you ever
call me Martha—Pendieton—Flint again
.when I am hanging up .your. shirt in the
front yard ?”

Somebody was chased out in the kitchen.
just then, and laughed so loud it wakened
the baby. ' -

 

Iron from Unknown Ages.
The Hartford Times says: From the ore
beds in Salisbury large quantities of iron
ore are taken oulldaily. Most of it averages
about 43 to 45 per cent. of iron ; but a good
deal is found that will yield to 50 to 75 per
cent. Some of the specimens of ore .are
curious. One,whieh lies before us as we
write, is impressively suggestive. It speaks
Willi a voice cvcn plainerthan that to which
Hugh Miller listened, when lac took the
“Testimony of the Rocks ;” and it tells of a
lime in unknown ages gone by, when the
now cooled and solid crust, which covers
the earth’s molten interior mass, was itself
melted in a “fervent heat.”
Compared with that fearful time the heat
of Sliadraeh’s fiery, furnace was but the
warmth of a pleasant summer day. This
piece of iron ore is a mass of slender col-
umns, fused smoothly tOgctlier like a keg of
nails which we saw taken out of. the ruins
of Chicago—only the ore is far more beauti-'
"ul and curious, and gives plain evidence Of .
a former state of iiicaudcsconce and fusion
for more complete and impressive. No
description can quite describe it. Its mass
of ilprig‘ot' columns, fused together, and
glistening black like a polished stove, some.
how ' suggest, in their scrried columnar
aggregation, the basaltic pillars of the
“Giant’s Causeway.” '
They are small, smooth, and perfeci,look-
ing like a solid collection .of long “leads"
for lea -puilCilS. The iron evidently cooled
while dripping down in its molten stain;
and as it cooled. so it has. remained. But
it is the evidence of the complete melting,
the terrible heat of the former geological
period, which is most impressive, in this
sample of Salisbury ore. It is a relic of a
lime enormously remote—by whose years
are to be measured only hundreds of thou-
sands.

Baker was orator and soldier. To him
belongs the rare renown of this double
character. Perhaps he carried into War
something of the confidence inspired by the
conscious sway of great multitudes, as he
.snrei y brought into his speech something of
the order of war. Call him, if you will. the
Prince Rupert Ofbuule; he waS! also the
.Prince Rupert of debate. ' ' ’ .
His success in life attests net only his
own remarkable genius, but the benign
hospitality of our institutions. I

It was the beast of Pericles; in his funeral
oration at the Ccramicus over the dead who
had fallen in battle, ;—.-.'tbat the Athenians
were ready to communicate all the advan-

tages which they enjoyed; thatthey did not

exclude the stranger from their avails, and. .
that Athens was a city open to the human ' '
family. The same boast may be proudly
repeated by us with better reason, .as we
commemorate our dead fallen in battle.
The-honors of the bar and of Congress
were his. But his impatient temper led him
from these paths into the Mexican war
where he gullantly took the place Of Shields,
torn with wounds and almost dead at Cerro
Gordo. But the' great West, beginning to
teem with population, did not satisfy ‘his
ambitiOn, and he‘ repaired to California.

‘ The child whose'infancy was rocked on the

waves of the Atlantic, whose manhood was
formed in the broad and open expanse Of
the. prairie, 'now sought a home 1‘ on the,
shores of the Pacific, saying, in the buoyant '
confidence of his nature. ‘

“No pent-up Utics contracts our powers,
But the whole boundless continent is ours." .

_ There, again, his genius was promptly
recognized. A new, State, which had just
taken its place in lbe'Union, sent him as a
Senator, and Ofegon first became truly
known to us on this floor 'by his eloquent

lps. » - - - -
In the Senate he at once tookthe place of
orator. 'His countenance, body and gesture
all shared the unconscious inspiration of his
voice, and he went on, master of his .audi-
once—master of himself. All his faculties,
were completely at command. Ideas, illuso
trations, words, seemed to come unbidden
and to range themselves in harmonious
forms, as in the walls ogancient Thebes
each stone took its prope place of its own
accord. mOved only by the music of the lyre.
Ills controversy was graceful, sharp and
flashing‘like a cimeter;'_ but his argument
was powerful] and sweeping like a battery.
Not content with the brilliant Opportuni,
ties of this Chamber, he accepged a commie.

thus alternate between the duties of a Sena.
tor and a general.

His latter career was short, though
shining. That brain which had been ‘tlle '
seat and organ of such subtle power, sway-
ing assemblies, and giving to this child of
obscurity place and command among his
fellow men, was now rudely shattered; and
that bosom which hadthrobbed so bravely
was rent by numerous wOuuds. It is sweet
and. becoming to- (lie for one’s country.
Such a death—sudden, but not unprepared ,
for—is the crown of the patriot soldier’s
life.” ' ‘ '

 

A Wonderful Gun.

The Middletown (N. Y.) Press gives an
account of a rifle invented bv llr. N. A.
Merriam, of a most extraordinary character.
It sent a ball through forty-two inches "of
solid pine and eight inches of- hemlock, and
again through eighteen inches of solid oak
and nineteen inches of solid pine. An . in~
tei'csted spectator was’ a lumberman, who
tarnished the material for the target on con-
dition that he should receive double price
in case the experiment failed, but nothing if
it proved a success: He succeeded, in losing ‘
his lumber. Science has been proved to1 be
u'gaiuer. It might be added that Mr. Mer-

riam says he has sent a ball with hisjiflea-

distance of over two miles. Lead balls can: ‘
not be nsed,melting before they leave 'the

barrel. Themissiles are octagon in form,

and are made of composition. ' The, report
is louder than that ot‘an ordinary gun, but
the recoil is not heavy—in fact, this little
cannon does not“‘kick.” Ifsueh arms ,had
been in use during the. war, trees-would

officers or prudent pickets. j Mr. Merriam is

which is larger than the bore of the; bdrm],
which is three eigbtsfiofan inch. Its length
is about twenty-five inches, and the Whole.
piece is very light, The ball used :was an
conical one, and weighed 135 grains. 'The-
powder, Iiuzzurd's electric, and the charge
was 243 grains. The; ,ditor remarks that.-
tbis was done in the presence of ‘- a number.
of gentlemen, whose names are given, and
that there was “no cheating."

 

 

Lovers have been driven tozxtraortlinary
straits in search of the privacy essential to
the full enjoyment of the delights of' senti-
mental conversation. Rumor says that the
steeple of Trinity Church is not infrequent-
l y used as a trysiing-place, and, (ldring the
warm Summer evenings, the outside fire;
escapes of tenement holises are very gene-
rally consecrated to the same purpose. A.
pairof Western lovers, however, recently
originated the ingenious idea of sitting in
sweet conimuniouon a railway track. The
situation had but one fault—the possibility
that the pair might become so absorbed in
one another as to forget the danger of P33“
sing trains. This'was literally the result in
the case of the infatuated young people of
Zanesville, who prolonged their cenversaa
lion until an approaching train Struck them;
andbroughl their courtship to an; abrupt
close. It would hardly bejust togsay that
