L: the gate forever shut?
Just a young man in the rain
Saying (the last time '1’) “good-night l’
Slould he never come again
Would the world be ended quite ?
- Where would all these rose-buds go 7-
All these robins? Do you know ?
But—he will not come? Why, then,
Is no other within call? ~
There are men, and men, and men-
- And these men are brothers all!
Each sweet fault of his you'll find
Just as sweet in-allhis kind.
None with eyes like his? Oh—oh!
In diviner ones did I '
Look, perhaps, an hour ago.“
Whose ? Indeed (you must-not cry)
Those I thought of—are not free
To laugh down your tears you, you see.
Voice likeliis was never heard?
No—b‘ut better ones. I. vow ;
Did you ever hear a bigd ?—
Listen, one is singing now!
And his gloves ? His gloves ? .Ah, Well,
There are gloves like his to sell.
At the play to-night you'll see,
In mock-velvet cloaks, mock earls I
With mock-jewellcd swords—that he
Were a clown by! —Now, those curls
Are the barber's pride, I say;
Do not cry for them, I pray.
If no one should love you ? Why,
You can love some other still :
Philip Sidney, Shakespeare, ay,
Good King Arthur, if you will;
Raphael—he was handsome too.
Love them. one and all. I do.

It was founded very; nearly one hundred‘
years ago, and in it was coined the first money f
used in the United States. Until 1816 all the
work was done by hand or horse power; the
building was guarded by watch-dogs,- and the
artisans were supplied with plentiful qugnities
of liquor as a. fatigue ration, therancittltg and
simple-minded citizens. ~100kiha'—upon-?lhem
with special favor. The earliest director
was appointed by Washington. The origi-
nal copper cents were made in 1793, the
silver dollars in 1749, and the gold eagles in
1795. Both the metal and machinery were
imported; but in boining, as in many other
things, the :American has made ‘ such prou-
gress within the century that the impldmcnt's
of his own construction are now'sup'erior to
the models after which they are patterned.

a. 111. until noon, aid is taken in hand by po-
lite and garrulous ushers, who m common
with all other employes bear themselves with
the dignity that befits persons living in such
close contact with enormouswealth. “ I’ve
seen five hundred and fifty million 'dollars
go in and out of this place," said one. of the
employee as he led us into a dimly-lighted ;
vault, where pale bricks of siIVCr’ were piled
from roof to ceiling—“ five hundred and fifty
million dollars in twenty-eight years,'_’_ he
repeated,.with particular gusto; .a‘nd.:at the
statement our fancy immediately took a wild
flight among the enchanting possibilities of
such treasure, for when Mammon mounts

best and worst of men. The very contents
plation of so immense a sum was dazzling to
the imagination. It was the aggregate for;
‘tune of five hundred millionaires, the income
of scores of thrones and the values of a state!
What a Protean influence it must have exercis.

lives; paying scant wages of the tenahonr
laborer, and sufficing for the extravagance of
the princelyspendthrift; carrying happiness
with it neutrand then capriciously destroy-
ing the beneficiary; seducing the virtuous
and breeding sedition among the honest——
forever doing good and harm by fickle strokes;
forever indispensible and forever alluring.
. In one of his clever essays, Junius Henri
Browne says with Emersonian sententious-
ness: “Cash is the cause and consequence
of civilization, the measure of its breadth,
and the plummet of its profundity. Every
true ideal must not on the real, and the real
to-day is the coinage of the mint." _The con.
tents' of the little vault had probably left
deeper marks on the world than all the books
written and the sermons preached during
the twenty-eight years of the custodian's
service. _ ‘ ‘
Ia passing through the deposit-room all
the metal is carefully weighed. The largest
scale, with a ponderous beam and hugh trays,
combines extreme delicacy with its strength,
and balances from six thousand ounces to
the one hundreth part of an ounce ; anot
scale tells three thousand ounces at a time,
athird tells three hundred ounces. They
are adjusted several times a week, erected on
solid masonry, and are true to agrain. Having
been weighed, the silver is carried to the
melting-room, where it is mixed with cop-
per, in order to give it sufiicient hardness to
endure the friction of constant handling, and
melted in stone crucibles, heated to 1,800°
by charcoal-fires. The heat is so intense
that the workmen must protect their hands
. and arms by gloves and gauntlets. The
stone crucibles are placed within others of
pldtnbago, in order io insure them against
breaking. Reduced to a molten fluid, it
emerges in the form of ingots, which are
transferred to rolling-mills which shape them
bya. rapid process of attenuation into long
narrow. slips—From Amldom' Journal

Tun Cost or Ourtawnr.—-The real estate
of Kentucky, from the Cumberland moun-
tains to the Mississippi, is said to have stead-
ily declined since the war. As the soil is
fertile, the climate admirable, the govern.
ment economical, and the state has no public
debt, the decline in value seems to be mys-
terious. The New York World attributes
the fact to the reckless disregard in which
human life is held in some of the interior
counties of Kentucky. A Louisville corre-
spondent of the World gives an account or re-
cord of blood in Kentucky that is almost too
extraordinary to be true, and which is made
up of various publications in the Louisville
Courier-Journal and Cincinnati Commercial.
Nothing can be clearer than that no commu-
nity where such crimes prevail, no
matter how generous the other characteris-
tics of its people, or how inviting its soil and
climate, can prosper or invite immigration.
Americans and men of other nationalities are
willing to improve their fortunes by emigra-
tion, but not at such a risk as this. “All that
a man hath will he give for his life,” is as
, true now as it was in the days of Job.

Gcncrul Grant’s arrival in Paris is mention-
cd by Colonel Forncy, who says the cx_-Presi-
dent is “as rcsy as n' Newtown p1_pp1n.'und
as happy as a sailor after a long cruise." the
General writes to a friend in this country
that he thinks of staying away another yea1_',
though, in the interesting scenes and experi-
ences incident to his visit, and despite the
attentions which he has received from the
ruling classes as well as the people, and from
municipal and civil bodies, he often longs for
the day-of his return to his native land. He
says that the attentions which he has receiv-
ed have convinced him of the real admira-
tion which the whole people of Europe-—
rulersand subjects—have for the greatness,
enlightenment, power, and progress of the
United States, and that these attentions he
appreciates are designed more as a token of
respect for his country than a personal tes-
timonial to himself.

New Crusade against Tobacco.
The opponents of tobacco “in all forms,”
though they seem less active than formerly
in this country, are abroadflnow reviving their
crusade against the-abbminab’le hut'Eeductive
wee‘d with unusual energy.~ ” Secieties have.
just been formed in France for the purpose
of preaching down, and putting down, as
best they can by moral suasion the “ pernic-
ious practices of the use of tobacco;” and
one of the chief of the tobaccoreformers
has recentlypublished a somewhat startling
statement as to the almost universal use of
the weed among the sterner sex in France.
His story is certainly an interesting one,
whatever we may think of its lesson, or the
.value or the moral he derives from it. It
through realms so luminous and varicolorcd fgappears that the lively Gaul begins to smoke
as this metallic deity, who is worshipped l
and despised, courted and reviled, by the Igeleven; and, as smoking is prohibited very
asa rule at school, and at the early age of
Estrictly within the walls of the lycee, the
ischolar avails himself of his “day out" to
Epufi away in some safe woodland or urban
Eretreat, undisturbed all day long by visions
'of stem proctors. It is asserted that “ he
_gravitates as naturally to the bureau do taboo
ias the English boy to the pastry-cook’s or the
,sweetstntf shop." Among the French lower
classes, the young apprentice and the middle-
iaged workman trudge to their daily labor

leaving their kit of tools at home as their
fcheap, two-son brier-wood. the army
"every officer. from the stripling b-Iicuten-
'ant to the Marshall-President of the Republic,
smokes indefatigabiv. The author composes,
the artist lays on his colors, with pipe or cig-
arette in mouth; the shop-keeper leaves his
shop in care of his booms femme many times
.a day, to have a pull at his beloved caporal
at the estamz'net round the corner; the hon-
.orable deputy smokes as he awaits the train
that is to take him to Versailles ; the stock-
fbroker as he bios him to the Bonrse, the
:jlaowur lounging on the boulevard, the club.
:man as he loiters at the big from-window,
the advocate as he reads his brief on his way
5to the Palais de J ustice—do all these things
Eunder the soothing influence of tobacco. I1.
is said, indeed, that there arc_only two class
‘es of Frenchmen who do not smoke: the
fcabmen, because they are too constantly
under the vigilant watch of the police; and
the priest, because they fear lest a hint of
Ethe transgression should reach the ears of
their bishop. Thus, the new anti-tobacco so-
icieties have no lack of target. at which to
hurl their anathemas, no want at heathen on
‘every hand to convert to their own abhor-
}rence Of the weed. The progress of tobac-
ico-using, and especeally of smoking—for few
Europeans chew, and the fine old patrician
practice _of snuff-taking is fast going out—
is, indeed, amazingly rapid beyond’thc At-
elantic. The large majority of males in every
fclvilized country smoke habitually. It used
to be said that excessive smoking was one of
the chief causes of the decline of the Turks
in vigor and enterprise; but it is doubtful
,whether there hasnot been as muchsmoklng
gin the ranks of the Mnscovites and Cossacks,
idju'ring the past year of trial requiring con-
:sola'tion, as in the stubbornly-fighting but
finally defeated legions of Islam—Appleton’s
Journal.
There is gold in the land of Midian. Cap-
tain Burton‘s expedition returned to Alexan-
dria on April 20th, after an absence of eight.
.teen weeks. He found everywhere evidences
‘of ancient mining operat10ns, and brought
back with him twenty-five tons of specimens,
including all the precious metals, turquoise,
alabaster, sulphur, coins, inscriptions, frag-
ments of glass and potterics,.and a variety of
relics from thirtyotwo ruined 'cities. He
discovered important traces of gold and
quartz, threaded with veins of silver,.yield-
ing, according to a correspondent of the
Times (London), 15-pcr cent. to a careless
process. The inhabitants of Midian have
been brigands for hundreds of years, and are
now exceedingly hostile to strangers; but
the Khedivc intends to work his new proper-
ty and to protect the miners whom he will
send thither. Captain Burton describes it as
a land of ruined mines, with shafts, tunnels,
furnaces, workmen‘s towns, and princely
cities—a land once rich and prosperous as
mining could make it, and now'the very pic-
ture of dreary desolation. On the bank of a
wild watercourse he fohnd the ruins of a
beautiful little temple built of white and va-
riegated alabaster. The northern wall had
been washed away, and the adjacent beds
were strewn with fragments of broken col-
umns, vases and capitals, all cut in the sim-
plest and purest style of Greek art. This is
ancient Midian, where thecbiidren of Israel,
after the Exodus, made war upon the mining
populhtiom sew their kings, burnt their
cities, and spoiled them of “gold, silver,
brass, iron, tin and lead, jewels of gold,
chains and bracelets, rings, earrings and
tablets ;” the wrought jewels of gold, at the
command of Moses, being brought into the
Tabernacle as a memorial.

Will she kiss me to-morrow ?
Let it be as it may,
Rose kissed me to-day.

To a savor of sorrow——

An unknown rhymer thus tells the story
of the firstbonanza:
When Samson sallicd forth to smite
The fees that gathered round him,
His king spoke out, pale with afright,
“Think you that you can pound ’em 7"
He paused a moment—thought it o'er,
And quickly said, “_I can sir.”
He then gave them a Jack-mules jaw,
Which proved a “but bone-answer.”

A Detroit Bride with a Keen
Sense of the Ridiculous.
Several days ago a prominent Episcopal
clergyman of Detroit, was invited to one of
the hotels to marry a couple from Canada.
They did not want any witnesses, and they
wanted the ceremony to be about one
minute long. To this the Rev. gentle-
man objected. Under the laws of this State
a marriage is not valid which is not Witness-
ed by two persons. They were procured,
and the couple struck an attitude calculated
to show to advantage an array of fine clothes,
and two rather good looking faces, the' own-
ers of which would (so the marriage certifi-
cate stated) never see their twenty-sixth birth-
day again. The ceremony ran smoothly un-
til the pledges were given. '
“I, Kate," continued the minister.
“I, Kate,” she faltered.
“Take thee, William,"
“Take thee, William,"
“To be my wedded husband—"
“To be my wedded husband,"
“To have and to hold—” '
A smile puckered the 'corners of her month,
which was finally extended in a hearty laugh;
no response. The minister was astounded at
the untimely exhibition of frivolity; the wit-
nesses were highly amused,>and the would-be
bridegroom struggled to regain his self-pos-
session. -
“To have and to hold,” repeated theminis-
ter. ‘
“To have—Te! he! he I " and she broke
down again. -
A repetition of the former scene was bro-
ken into by the solemn and commanding
voice.
“To have and to hold—”
“To—" she began, then indulging in a
dignified and chagrined tier of knots.
“You think this is a very trivial matter,"
he said, sternly “but I fancy you won’t find
it so funny if you intend beginning life to-
gether in this ridiculous manner.“ I have a
mind to punish you by refusing to complete
the ceremony, but on second thought I think
it will be better to read you a homily and
then I will finish that which I have begun if
I have to stay here till tomorrow morning.”
The homily was delivered, and’thc couple,
. now quite serious, resumed their trying posi~
tions, and were duly married.
“I wouldn’t have laughed,” said the bride,
by way of explanation, “ but I never heard
the Episcopal marriage'ceremony- before, and
it was so funny to think that I had got to
hold this great big fellow (indicating who
she ment by a loving salutation) all the rest
of my life, thatI couldn't keep from laugh-
ing.”—Detroit News.
Cats in Spain.
Cats have a niCe time'in Spain, I hear. ‘No
dismal moonlight prowlings over fences and.
back sheds for them! They have the roofs of.
the whole country for their walks, and need
never fetch the ground unless they choose.
I’ll tell you why. Grain is stored in the at-
tics of Spain, because they are too hot for
anything else. But rats and mice delights
in attics, as well as in grain. So each owner
cuts a small door from the roof, big enough
for puss, and any homeless cat is welcome
to her warm home, in return for which she
keeps away rats. In a sudden rain it must
befunnyto see dozens of cats scampering
over the roofs to their homes among the
grain~bags.—"Jaek-in-the-Puhpil,” .88. Noble-

A Snake Den In Kansas.
Being in Concordia last Sunday, and v-
during the last two years by what appeared
to be extravagant reports of a den of snakes
at some place south of Concordia, I availed
myself of an invitation to substantiate the
story, The first thing that attracted our at-
tention after hitching our horses was the
almost unbearable stench which invaded our
nostrils,and which we soon fcund was caused
by two enormous pyramids of dead snakes.
Such a sight as met our gaze was the first of
this kind in our experience, and was one that
we can hardly expect to repeat. Snakes
from fifteen inches to three and a half feet
lay there coiled, straight, intertwined and
matted together, a huge pile of dead and
decaying snake flesh. Not all were dead, for
here and there among the pile might be seen
some slightly moving and quivering, showing
that they were among those which had been
consigned to the increasing pile that day.
‘The den itself is in a high, rocky knoll or
bluff. The knoll is a .magnesian limestone
and rock had been excavated, and on each
of rocks beneath which an excavation appears
wild animals, forming a narrow cage which
may penetrate into the inmost recesses Of this
- mound. In this excavation Were several
young men, one of whom especially atracted
our attention as, with a pair of heavy buck-
skin gloves, he would incessantly be upon
the watch, and now and then, reaching into
the cavern as far as he could reach or get his-
body in, he would pull therefrom with his
hands a large snake. Hundreds must. have
been killed in this way on Sunday—certainly“
too many while we were there to keep' an
accurate count, and being not a very‘w ' "'
day it was not a good day for snakes
either. The den was discovered two years
ago by a boy who called a Mr. Graves to the
spot. He says that the ground was literally
alive with them, and that he succeeded in
killing three hundred in about half an hour.
He said that to his knowledge almost 6000 had
already been killed at that spot; and it was
proposed on Sunday next to call the neighbors
together for several miles around and have: a
“snake bee” and a general extermination day,
for which they would come prepared with
materials and tools to ensure success by exca-
vation if necessary.
I will only add that the snakes appear to be
of the racer species, not, however, the species
of blue racer common to Illinois,and not of a
venemous nature. However, they show some
fight when they get warmed up, and strike
at an approaching object promiscuously.—
