Thou’lt banish every fear,
All things thou shalt reveal

No need of hand to guide,
All ways and pail s made plain,
Thy beaming. cheering light

Colors and Sound.
When we speak of colors or sound, we
seem for all practical purposes to move entire-
ly within the finite, This is red, this is
green, this is \‘iOlct. This is C, this is D,
this is-E What can apparently he more
finite, more definite P But let us look mere»
closely. Let us take the seven colors of the'
rainbow; and where is the edge of an eye
sharp enough to fix itself on the point'where
blue ends and green begins, or' where green
ends and yellow begins? We might as well,
attempt to put Ottr clumsy fingers on the point-
where one millimetre ends and another begins. ,-
Wc divide color by seven rough degrees.
Even those seven degrees are of latetdatejin
the evolution of oursensuous knowledge.
In common Arabic, as Palgrave tells us, the
names for green, black, and black, and brown
are constantly Confounded in the Edda, the
rainbow is called a three-colored bridge.
Xenophanes says that what people call
it is a cloud. purple, red and yellow. Even
Aristotle ,still speaks .of the tri-col‘oredrain-
bow, red, yellow and green. Blue, which
seems to us so definite a coler, was worked
out of he infinity ,of colors at. a compara-
tively late time. There is hardlys book no'yr
in which we do not read, of the, blue sky.
But in the, ancient hymns of the Veda, so
full of thc‘dawn, the sun, and the sky,
the blue sky is never mentioned; in the
Zenda‘vesta the__blue.sky is never mentioned;
in Homer the blue sky is never mentioned;
in the Old, .and even in theNeW'l'Ij—esfament,’
the blue sky» is fuever mentioned; In the
Teutonic language blue comes home font
Which originally meant bleakandblack , The
Romance languagesl'fOund In'o useful words
for blue in Latin, and borrowed their word
from German. It has been~asked whether We
should recognize in this a physiologicalde
velopnlellt of our senses, or onlya gradual
increase of words capable of expressing finer
distinctions of light. No one islihelyft'o
contend that the irritations .of our" organs of
sense, which produce. sensation, as distin-
guished from perception, were ' different
thousands of years: ago from what they are
now. They are thensame, 191‘; All $911.3“?
same even for certain animals, for we know
that there are insects which {react very
strongly against» differences of color. No,
we only learn. here again, in Query. clear
manner, that conscious perception is impds‘sir
ble without language. Who nwbuld contend
that savages who, as we are told,cannot count
beyond three—that is to say, who have no
numerals beyond three—do not receive the
sensuous impression of four wheelséin a cert?
New, in this; evolution of conseibhsuess'bf
color we see meat. clearly. hov'v pérbéptidn, as
different from sensation, gees hand in hand
with the evolution of language, and how
slowly every definine concept is gained out
of an infinitude of indistinct perceptions.
Demokritos knew of four icOlors,‘1vi'z.i bladk‘l
and white, (which he regarded.a§'eolors,) red
and yellow. Are we to Say’ that'he' did‘ not
see the blue of the sky because he’n‘ever call-
ed it blue, hilt only dark or bright I In China
the number bf-colors was originally five.
That number was increased with the increase
of their power of distinguishing and of ex-
pressing their distinctions in' words; but
though we distinguish more and more, the
variety of colors always stands before us a
real infinite, to be measured, it may be, by
millions of ethereal vibrations in one second,
btlt immeasurable and indivisible even to the
kecncst eye—Maze Miller, in Contemporary
Review.
A Boy‘s Pocket and a Girl's
. Pocket. ' ‘
To “my is twrlvc years old. His Slater
Mary is swuct sixteen and a half. The other
morning Mary accosted her mother with.
“Mauseewhat a lot of stuff I found in_
Tommy’s pockets," and she deposited on the
table the following articles to wit: Eight
marbles, one top, a broken bladed knife, a
leather strap, a buckle, a bunch of old keys,
a fishing line, piece of lead, a smooth stone,
four pieces of slate pencil, awornLout pocket-
book, an oyster shell, awounded ~ jewsharp,
a piece of blue glass, it rubberbalhjlump of
chalk, tWo dried fish Worms, a. sling-shot,
piece of India rubber, two enrks, _a_' fractured
comb, piece of licorice root, at songbook,
two medals, and a juvenile land tortoi~e.
Tommy looked thoughtfully, as the contents
of his pockets were deposited before the
eyes of, his mother, and: sulleutly remarked
that it “was ‘none‘ ~on ‘slsf intranets; and he
wanted her to let his‘ ’trousersyraloneg” .
Next- day Tommy captured the outside
pocket of his sister's dress and carrying the
contents to his mother, sarcastically ob-
served, in the presence of Mary : “Ma, just
see what a lot of trashIfound in Sis’ pocket!”
and he produced'from his hat the following
knick-knacks,'viz.; 'Thrce hair pins, a soiled
glove, piece of chewing-gum, three cards, a ,
broken locket, elastic garter, piece of ribbon,
two slate pencils, another piece of chewing-
gum, photograph, piece of orange skin, ,a
love letter, broken tooth brush. more chew.-
ing-gum, spool of silk, a thimble, a piece of
cotton saturated with white powder, one
nickle, two sour-balls, gaiter heel, ivory orn-
ament belonging to a parasol handle, hand-
kerchief perfumed with jocky-club. goiter
buttoner, withered geranium leaves, ivory~
handle pen knife with broken blade, 8 fan,
five visiting cards, belt-buckle, box of rouge,
another piece of chewing-gum, fragment of
looking-glass, a peach-stone, a cigar-holder
stolen from “Charley," a piece of' damasse
silk of the pattern of her friend. Lucy’s new
dress, an artificial flower, horse- hair ring,
a long brown hair entangled in a hunk of
taffy, and a slip of paper containing direc-
tions for handkerchief flirtatious.
Tommy placed the last article on the table
and slid from the roomwitha grin of-trinmph‘
on his roguish face. His sister made an inef
factual grab at him and as he passed into the
street he heard her voice calling, “You nasty
little brat, if you get at my pocket again I'll
slap your face." Tommy thinks honors are
easy.——Nm-ristotm Herald.
While a farmer by the name :of Sawyer
was plowing on his farm in Scott county, 11].,
a day or two ago, his plow struck against
something hard and metalic, deep in the,
ground. He unearthed it, and was reward-.
ed by a pot containing $10,000 in gold. The
old ieces were eagles and half eagles,
lgllacklzvith age, and of the coinage of 1805.
By whom it was buried is a mystcr , .blltdt
is thought that some government 0 call in

expected .or‘even hoped for. It'musf’he ex-,
ceedingly rare for a woman of 40 years old
to ”meet-a man whose age and habits and
position make their marriage a promise of
happiness to both. Such a marriage is to
be gratefully rejoiced even if it comes, but
it is possible to be happy and useful without.
What I mean to impress on the girls, when
I write to them, is that they should make
themselves able to stand alone. I'll quote
Margaret Fuller’s words on that subject to
them. With self-support possible, unhappy
marriages will be prevented; a happy single
life will be made possible, and a happy mar-
riage will be, more probable. Concise direc-
tions? If I give any they would be like
this:— ,
1. Don't waste any time waiting for ‘him."
_ 2. Don't spend quite as much as you earn.
3. To prevent narrowness, master some
branch of knowledge not connected with
. your occupation.
4. To keep your heart warm, love’some-
body’s children. If possible connect your-
self with their care or education.
5. When married women confide their
troubles to you—and strange to say they

Ahsxaxnnn H. STEPHENS has‘a good deal
‘of blood in him fora valctudiuarian. His
speech to the people of Augustacan be read
:with profit by those who pretend that the
cry of revolution was. a radical scarecrow.
Defending his course with regard to the
Potter resolution, he said: ' '
If the objection of investigation _was to
guide further legislation by massing this
evidence, why confine the sec of the inves-
tigation tonne side?‘ If repn licans retorted
that we too had stolen goods, I want them to
"search us.” The righteous should be as
bold asa lion. Ialso thought we should
incorporate the declaration that there .was
no object to unseat the president. varote
to Mr. Potter urging these points. It is said
1 am to be ruled out of the party because I
made concessions to the republicans, and I
was called a dcserter and a betrayer of party
principles. I have however, been amply
vindicated, for in less than three weeks after
Potter passed his resolution, when the voice
of the people made itself heard, I was grati-
fied to see the triumph of truth in the pass-
see it done in the trial and under the lead of
a republican. I tell you the House howled
me down, but I’m not to be howled down,
and I venture to say now that nine-tenths of
my constituteuts sanction my course. I have
no business in congress if I do not know
your interests even better than you do your-
selves. The dangers of opening up the Pros
idential questions were great, for bad the
real course of the projectors of the Potter
resolution been adopted, a war would have
swept the country compared to which the
recent civil war would have been as a breeze
to a cyclone. It would not have been or-
ganized or sectional warfare, but the battles
of the Commune and the cut-throats. The
slme causes and the some influence were at
work as in 1860.
Nominated or not Mr. Stephens will be a
' candidate, and will doubtless be re-eleetsd.
ATTAchENT :ro NEwsPAPans.—The strong
attachment of subscribers to well conducted
newspapers is fully confirmed by publishers.
- “Stop my paper," words of dread to beginers
in business, lose their terror after a pa er has
been established for a term of years. 0 long
as a paper pursues a just, honorable and ju-
dicious course, meeting the wants of its cus-
tomers in all respects, the ties of friendship
between the subscribers and the player are§as
hard to break by an outside third party as the
link which binds old friends in business or
social life. Occasional defects and errors in a
newspaper are overlooked by those who have
become attached to it, through its persual,
for years. They sometimes become dissatis-
taking it; but the absence of the fgmiliar
sheet at their homes and offices for a few
weeks, become an insnpportable privatiou
and they hasten to take it again, and possibly
apologize for having it stopped. No friend
makes an honest and earnest effort to merit
its continued support. Hence a conscien-
tiously conducted paper becomes a favorite
in the family- -
There are 300 variety of pigeons, of which
not more than eight are natives of America.
Morethan three lguarters of all the species

time the numbers of the passenger, or com-
ed, in the vicinity of St. Louis, 163 flocks'pass
in twenty minutes. Traveling on, the air
seemed filled. with pigeons, so that the light
ofpoonday was obscured, as by an eclipse.
gThey passed in undiminished numbers for
.three in Width was at one time filled with
gb'ra‘nch, the estimated number being greater
‘,than- that of all the human beings of the
‘world. The present great decrease in the
‘number of these birds is, it is then ht. attrib-
gutuble to the breaking up of the r feeding
and nesting haunts.

An intelligent farmer living in Des Moines
gcounty has invented a'henopbone, modeled
.on the principle of the telephone, by which
one old, reliable hen, occupyinga central
office in the hennery, sits on all the nests
about the establishment, leaving the other
{fowls free to lay eggs, scratch and eackle'.
As ,fast as a new nest contains the full com-
plement of eggs it is connected with the cen-
tral ofilce by a copper wire and the-business
is settled. The'only trouble with the ma-
chine is that it sits. so hard it hatches'out the
porcelain nest eggs along with the others,
,so that one chick in every nest is born with
glass eyes, and the farmer has to buy and
train a dog to lead it around. This makes it
expensive—Burlington Haw/cogs.

: A recent writer expresses his opinion of
old maids in the following manner:
inclined to think that many of the satirical
aspersions cast upon old maids tell more to
their credit than is generally imagined. Is
a young woman remarkably neat in.her per.
son? ‘She will certainly be an old maid.’
Is she particularly reserved towards the other
sex? ‘She has all the squeamishness of an
old maid.’ Is she frugal in her expenses and
exact in her domestic concerns? ‘She is cut
out for an old maid.’ And if she is kindly
humane to the animals about her, nothing
can save her from the appelation of an ’old
maid.’ In short, I always found thatneat-
ncss, modesty, economy, and humanity, are
the never-failing characteristics of that terri-
ble creature—an 'old maid."’

A finely-dressed young woman came' hur-
riedly out of Worthington street, and as she
turned into Mala, ran against a barefoot
urchin, one of a group, upsetting him. “I
beg your pardon,” she said, “did it hurt
you ?” “No, miss,” replled the little fellow,
when he recovered his speech; “you may
run 'agin me and knock tne down twenty
times, if you want ter." Then as the young
woman passed on, turning to his companions,
he continued: “I tell you, fellers, it kinder
tuk my breath at fast to hear her ’pologize
ter me, but I guess I did the right sort of
thing after all, didn't I 2’" “You ’bet,” was
the unanimous response.

The New “Ah-Sin.”
The “silver" men seem to be jubilant now
Because they have kicked up a dence of a row;
Set the West 'gainst the East and made
matters so mixed
That it's hard to decide right “between and
betwixt.”
But those who believe honest dealings is best
Should remember a thing which, though
written in jest,
Has a moral as true as a moral can be.
We refer to the tale of the “heathen Chinee."
Whose ways are so dark and whose tricks
were so vain,
And Who came to sore grief, and may do so
again.

GOT A PHONOGRAPH.
Mr. Meeks Takes His Machine 10
His Office.
There is a man residing on Lee avenue
whose name is so near like Meeks that it
may be easily disguised under that cogno-
men. He is a small, inoffensive man, who
has a little commission store in New York,
and dabbles in science in an amateur way,
taking the children to discourses on natural
philosophy apd subscribing for the People’s
Science Monthly. Next to sitting with his
family, he enjoys getting up in the gnrret
with his chemicals, suffocating himself to
death with gases, burning his fingers with
acids and spoiling his clothes. It is a mild
mania with him. Recently he became inter.
ested in,the phonograph, and at infinite
trouble and no small expense for one of his
means, be procured one of the treasures
and devoted himself to it with all the order ‘
of utempersment naturally equable in de-
monstration. He beguiled many spare hours
by bawling into it and then grinding out the
lwalls in an attenuated form. (A friend who
glanced at this before it went to the printers,
intimated that for him the best kind ofphono—
graph was one that would take in bawls and
give out fish balls, but he was merely nnold
offender, and no notice was taken of him.)
Mr. Meeks inv1ted the neighbors in to see
and hear and talk to it, and kept them
laughing by turning out nursery rhymes and
impromptu addressess in its squeaky voice—
A voice of Stuart Robson on cranks. In
the goodness of hisheart, Mr. Meeks took the
phonograph to his ofilce one morning, to
show it to his two clerks who were vastly in-
terested in the contrivance, and in whom he
wished to inspire a hungering for mental
elevation through scientific research. Owing
to his being much engrossed in business, he
forgot the ,machine when he went home in
the afternoon, and the clerks examined it on
their own responsibility, Well, next day he
took it home, and in the evening invited in
several of the neighbors, as he had got an
improved mouthpiece for it which gave out
a fuller volume of sound. Wrapping on the ,
the last sheet of foil that had been used, he
said he would experiment with some of the
old talk that had been salted away, as it
were,- for the past fortnight. So he began
to grind. This is what the phonograph said
Mary had a little damn . .
“Bless my soul!” cxclaimed_Mr. Meeks
“that last word sounds strangely unlike my
voice. There must have been some wrinkle in
the foil—or something. But it talks very
loud and clear, don’t it I Here we go again
now let’s hear what it says ,
His fleece was white as show.
And everywhere that—
What do yer-soy?
Mary went.
That ram was sure to go to thunder!
“This is very singular! I never heard the
phonograph do anything like that," said Mr.
Meeks.
He followed her to school one—Say 1 won-
der if this is the way the governor entertains
his family.
Which was against the rule—
And yet the proprietor claims to be an in-
telligent man for my part—
It made the children laugh—Hoorayl
here’s enough—for two beers. Send Mike
out with the pitcher—
' To see the lamb Big Fool I
“What! What! Why this is the most ex-
traordinary thing I ever heard in tiiy life,"
and Mr. Meeks grew excited and ground
away quite forgetful of his audience, which
began to manifest a deep interest in the ex-
ercises. -
When first the teacher turned him out——I’ll
be hanged if I ain’t a going to strike the boss
for a raise of salary. I ain’t a going to work
for any cuss for $13 a week when that cuss
has got money enough to throw away on
‘ useless contrivances like this to talk baby
talk to.
"Great Heavens! My clerks! And I alivays
regarded themas a father—that is, asif I
was their father. If I ever trust humanity
again”—Just then he forgot himself and
gave the crank a. vicious turn. The phone-
graph_said something very wicked, which
caused Mr. Meeks to faint and covered the
company with confusion. There are two
clerks in New York looking around for situ-
ations and a phonograph lies resting on the
shelf in Mr. Meek’s residence—Brooklyn

ROMANTIC AFFAIR—The Alexandria Ga-
zette says: Last Saturday morningtwo‘young
ladies, Misses Ida and Rose-Curtis, daughters
of Mrs. Sarah Curtis, a highly respected lady
of the first ward, went to Washington for the
avowed purpose of shopping, but really, as
subsequent events proved, to meet their be-
trothed husbands, for they were met there by
two young gentlemen, Messrs. B F. Atwell
and'B. F. Waddey. who, having previously
obtained the requisite licenses, escorted them
to the house of a preacher by whom they
were married. As the parents of neither had
been informed of what had taken place, and
as opposition was feared, it was deemed ad-
visable for the young ladies to return on the
boat, and their husbands on the cars, and
that all should repair to the homes of their re-
spective parents and wait for a suitable op-
portunity to break the news. Notice of the
marriage licenses, however, having been
. published, the news became known sooner
than anticipated. Mr. Atwell thereupon im-
mediately presented himself at the home of
his bride and claimed her as his own, and was
recognized as a son-in-law by her mother,
but Mr. Waddey, being a minor,‘ was at once
locked up in his room by his father and kept
in durance. He, with a true lover’s determi-
nation, refused all nourishment, and asserted
that neither meat nor drink should enter his
month until he was restored to his wife. Upon
hearing this his bride was thrown into con-
vulslons and remained in a grief-stricken cou-
dltion until yesterday evening, when, his
parents having relented, be rushed to the em-
brace of his wedded wife, and now all is
happy, and four souls have but a double
thought, and four hearts beat as two.

boy pushes his way through a crowd and
hands the speaker a dispatch, which reads
as follows :—
