”1'1an LOVE
[Written on the 50th anniversary at a friend] .
Dr n.‘r. smLLAnEn.
“Hail wedded love l” thus Milton sing
With happy and exultant tongue,
Greeting the first pair, fresh and young
But more to prize
The love that, in life’s morning sprung,
Age sanctifies.
At first, love‘s but a roseate gleam,
A strain of music in a dream,
A light upon a tranquil stream,
No threat of harm,
The smiling heavens a radiant beam
Of promise warm.
I But the fierce trial happens soon; -
- The care of life, before its noon,
Feller Walsh on Temperance.
Chilleth the‘heart to joy attune,
And then, perhaps, ‘ / 1‘ ff ,
Love's stocks, all up in Hope‘s balloon,
Suffers collapse.
But, when well grounded, cares may press,
And sorrow come, with keen distress,
And fortune fail—",no whit the less
I 'Doth true love shine;
It showeth then its power. to bless—
It source divine.
And age may come, its whitening snow
Upon the furrowed brow to throw,
But, with the loving heart aglow,
, No icy chill ' ‘
Willcheck the spirit‘s cheerful now,
Defying ill.
Such love is theirs we crown to-night,
Which burns more fervent in its light, .
As, inhis ever-restless fiight,
‘ ’Tis tried by time,
And with a' radiance pure and bright,
_ ‘ - It glows sublime! . '

Recently a’boat rat - took pMe on the riv
' ,Necker, at Heidelberg, botween' “scrnb’f’crews
' of English and American students. ' The boats ‘
- were six-cared barges, each rowed by three
fmen and steered-by a cbxswain.’ A' private
letter written by an ex~Cornell student, gives
the following description:
“For four days before Saturday, we pulle
Over the course—nearly two miles—oncw'a day.-
we had no expectation of winning; but on
the contray expected to be left in: behind, and
toldeverybody so, as did the English also
When the day arrived the English fellows
haddecoratéd a large barge, procured a. .band ‘
of music, invited all the English ladies and
'two or three Americans on board towitness,
their triumph, and moored the vessel. in the
‘middle of the course. . After the first race, in
. which a Brazilian boat, containing one Ameri-
can. was victorious ours came off. Itwas the
race of the regatta and the start' was per-
.feot. Ipulled the twobowoarsand acbd as
..Captain. At first neither of us took the lead
much, but after a half a mile we were half a
length ahead; then, being near the head of the
, rapids, we put in a spurt, and took the lead
by two or three lengths, as faras the bridge-
We hadonly a little blue jack in our bow,
while the English boat had the British fiag in
the stern. Before reaching the bridge the peo-
ple on shore began 'o understand the situa-
tion, and commenced shouting. Our friends,
who had come up to see us beaten, grew" exci-
ted, yelled at and cheered us, and ran along
.1110 road. Others yelled at the English bout
it» hurry up,” and altogether it was an exci-
ting contest. One voice, high above us on the
bridge, was heard above all others. “Hurrah
for Am'erica !” Below the bridge they slowly
gained, but when we passed the barge they
were still a length and a half behind.
- We came in victors by a full length, and
thenhoisted Oursilkfiagin the stern. Then
we had to receive their congratulations, and
they were innumerable and fervent. Our fel-
low American students crowded around and
were almost wild with delight; every cnehad
,tofhe shaken hands with, including several
stangers and. ladies. Such a crestfallen set as
theEnglish ladies were, I never saw. ” The
- other crew were also terribly put out; the
‘race had such an unexpected ending, and their
humiliation, as well as that of our friends,
‘was extreme.”

Where carp and other fish are kept in ponds
or restricted localities, the fish after spending
the winter in lethargic 3100p, or at least rest,
at the bottom, are frequently observed to rise
:to'the top and swim violently on the surface;

father; he pictured the innocent children, rag-
ged shivering, and compellcd'by their distrer-

and assured the drunkard he occupied more
space at home than he had any right to. As
a nation he said the Irish were not thieves;

the chickens eat of the worms after their

which materially affects the respiratory func-
tionsofthe fish. Thiscanhardlybe a suffi-
cient remn,‘ however, since the resulting
pressure is very slight compared to that which
"the small fish may experience at different
'depth in large bodies of water. Another al-
used cause is 'the untimely disturbance of the
' fish, in various ways, before they have had
' their‘full measure of winter’s rest, this being '
't'he'result of a premature awakening of the
filth, or of theintrnsion.» of pickerel or other
predacOOus species. Dr. Frauenfield, however,
is inclined to believe that this may be partly
the result of develop'e‘mant of microsopic fungi .
lathe water, especially as a common premoni-
' flan consists of a c in color of the water,
which becomes turbid and almd in appear-
ance, in consequence of the development of the
fungi in large numbers. The effect of this is
to use up the oxygen, and introduce in the,
water an excess of carbonic acid gas thus, ren.
daring water insufficient for proper respira
uo‘n bu the part of the fishes. With mung.
gestion, reference is made to the fact that cer-
‘ .tain fungi occasionally develop very rapidly
' on the gurface of the snow, and that it is pos-
sible that the snow fungus, or some other,
_may develop equally ’ in water of a certain
mininum temperature, when the shores hap-
pen to fall into it. Ho advises as the best
‘method of remedying the difficulty, and one
in accordance with practical experience, ' to
plant the edges of the pond with water crosses.
This plant is well known, has a tendency to
purify the water by the .dec'Omposition' of the
carbonic acid produced by the respiration or
fish, thus restoringthe eliminated oxygin to
the water.

At the convention 'of the Catholic state
temperance union in Norwich, Father Walsh
delivered an address, which the Advertiser
reports as follows: He prefaced his remarks
with a portrayal of the'ravagcs the vice of in-
tsmperance is making, and referred to the
alarming extent to which it had prevailed
among this people; but he said 7 there seemed
to them to be palliating excuses Coming to

themselves never to return, led'tliem to drown

The sale of Hon. Samuel Oampbsll's un-
equaled herd of thoroughbred short-horn cat-
tle, which took place at New York Mills, two
miles from Utica, yesterday afternoon, will
attract attention and provoke discussion
throughout the world. It was the most im-
portant sale of the kind ever held. It drew
hither a number of English stink-breeders
and numerous representatives from Kentucky,
Pennsylvania and other States, and also from
the Dominion of Canada. The prices realized
were exceptionally high. The sum of $40,-
000 was paid for one cow—the eighth Duchess
of Genevapby Mr. P. _ Davis, of Gloucester-
shire, England. The calf of this cow was
sold to Mr. Alexander, Of Kentucky, for $27,-
000. These figures‘seem fabulous, but they
were paid by men who counted the cost .be-
fore they made the bids. In England it is
Qmpossible to secure any thoroughbred short
horns; not because there are none of the
pure blood Duchess breed in the kingdom-—
asa foolish contemporary suggests—but be-
cause the owners will not part with them
for love or money. There has not been a
public sale of short hours in England for
twenty years ; there is not likely to be such a
sale for an hundred years to come. The Lon-
don FIELD, the representative journal of the
stock raisers in Great Britain, attempted to
dissuade the English purchasers from attend.
ing the Campbell sale,.argning that cattle of
equal excellence 'cOuld’ be sebn in England.
But it is one thing to see them, and another
to own them, and several enterprising Eng-
lishmen, who apprecde the difference, were
here yesterday to make purchases.
Among the various breeds of men none
other equal the Scotch American in the per-
sistency with'which he sets about the accom-
plishment of a given Object. It is many years
now since Mr. Campbell—a type of that
breed—conceived the idea of collecting a
herd of pure-blood short horns. He went
about it systematically. It was not the busi-
ness of his life, but rather a relaxation from
business. While he was engaged in it he
was making himself famous as a manufac-
turer of cottons. He bought his ;herd at
prices which seemed enormously high to his
'neighbors and friends, but which appedr low
when compared to the munificent sums real-
ized yesterday. We believe $12,000 in gold
was the highest price which Mr. Campbell
paid for any single cow in his herd. He ex-
pended altogether somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $200,000. The aggregate receipts of
yesterday’s sale were in excess of $350,000.
It will be seen that the profit constitutes a
handsome fortune.

‘ The Natumal Mung contains an account
of an extraordlnar accident, consisting in
the driving cfa ra Iroad engine into a house
at Dusseldorf. The occupier of‘Ihs place—
a furniture warehouse—so s, in a letter to
his brother: "It happens at 7:30 in the
morning as I was sitting in the room with my
whole family, taking breakfast. I was ready
to go to business, and had risen for that pur-
pose. As I locked, by chance, out of the
window there came toward the house with
great rapidity an engine. I saw at once
what a cataslrophe “flattened, and cried
out. ’We are all lost; the engine. is going
through thahcusc‘—‘run to the back I‘ Be-
fore, however, the‘room dour could be reach-
ed, in about fifteen or twenty seconds, the
thing was over. The locomotive had driven
through the warehouse had broken through
the boards and a partition wall, and stood
pufiing by the _ staircase behind. God be
praised, the house did not fall down. But
my next fear was that there would be a fire.
I could not reach the staircase, the way be-
ing through smoke and steam. I climbed
overa little roof by means of a ladder, down
to theyard behind, in order to open the es-
cape valve. Unfortunately Ibis was so in-
jured that it had b‘ecome useless. I left the
ladder lying against the end of the house, 30
which my family had fied, in order that they
might escape by it to the street, and this was
done. Through the help of my own work-
people and some thirty masons and servants,

The tide is high, the breeze is still;
N o ripple breaks the ocean floor,
The sunshine sleeps upon lllc hill.
The turf is \vnf'm beneath her feel,
Bordering the beach of stone or shell,
And thick about her path the sweet
Red blossoms of the pimpcrnel.
“3 sleep not yet, my flower," she cries,
“Nor prophesy of slorm to come ;
Tell me that under steadfast skies
Fair winds shall bring my lover home.’
She sloops to gather flower and shell,
She sits, and smiling, studies each ;
She hears the full lidc rise and swell
And whisper softly on the beach.
Waking, she dreams a golden dream,
Remembering wilh what still delight,
To walcb the sunset’s fading gleam, '
Here by the waves they stood last night.
She leans On that encircling arm,
Ditinely strong with power to draw
Her nature, as-Ihe moon doth charm
The swaying sea with heavenly law.
All lost is bliss the moments glide,
She feels his whisper, his caress;
The murmur of the must/cring lide
Brings her no presage Of distress;
What breaks her dream? she lifts her eyes,
Reluctant to destroy the spell;
The color from her'bri‘ght check dies,—
Close folded is the pimpernel !
With rapid glance she scans the sky;
Rises a sudden wind, and grows, .
And charged with storm the cloud heaps lie.
Wellmay the scarlet blossoms close!
; ' A touch, and bliss is turned 10 bale!
Life only keeps the sense of pain;
The world holds naught save one white sail
Flying before the wind and rain.
Broken upon the wheel of fear
She wears the storm-vexed hour away!
And now in gold and fire draws near
The sunset of her troubled day.
But to her sky is yet denied
The sun that lights the world for her;
She sweeps the rose-flushed ocean wide
With eager eyes that quick tears blur.
Strc‘cbcs, wilh never sign of soil,
And sadder grows no: wislful face,
And all lhc sunset splendors fail.
And cold and pale, in still despair,
With heavier griel'tlmn tongue can tell,
She sicks,—upcn her lips a prayer,
Her check against the pimpernel.
Wee blossoms wet with sbowery tears
On her shut eyes their droplets shed,
Only the wakeued waves she hears
That singing drown his rapid tread.
“Sweet, I am here 1" Joy’s gates swing wide,
And heaven is theirs, and all is Will,
And left beside the ebbing Iide
Forgotten is the pimpcrucl.

fimissionary of the American Sunday
School Union in South Carolina, writes:
“A! S. IL, in R—County, a young man
came into our meeting for organizing a
Sunday school with a hunting-horn slung
around his neck, so drunk that be nearly
fell off his seat, and had to go‘ but. A; fresh
grave in the yard contains the body of
another young man slain by his brother in
a drunken frolic. At the place where I
slaved, the old gentleman asked me to drink
whiskey; In one settlement where‘l organ-
izcdaUuiou Sunday school, a man well
acquainted there said he thought two
thirds of the people are unable to read and
write. I find a destituliou of Sunday
schools whereverlgc; but, since my last
monthly letter, I have organized ten schools.
I put plenty of temperance reading in the
Sunday school library.”
Another missionary of the American
Sunday school Union, writing from Alu-
bama, says: “This country abounds in
‘pine slashes,’ or swamps, which generate
malaria; and for fever and ugue the people
take quinine in whiskey,_ so that '(he chil-
dren are said to be “brought up on if.’ This
mnkts the Sunday school work hard; for
where inlemperaucc prevails,"lhe moral
sensibilities are blunted. The missionary
is often asked to drink whiskey with his
hnsl, and the refusal gives an opportunity
for :1 discourse on intemperance.
