I! Wé ‘ Know.

Through the crowded, dusty way,
That some pearl of wondrous whiteness
Close beside our pathway lay,
W9 should pause where now we hasten,
W0 should oftousr look around.
Inst our careless feet should trample -
Some rare Jewel in’the ground.
If we know what forms are fainting
For the shade which we could fling, -
If we knew what lips are parching
For the water we could bring,
We should haste with sugar footsteps,
' We should work with willing hands,
Bearing cooling cups of water,
Planting rows of shading palms.
If we knew what feet were Weary,
Climbing up the hills of pain,
By the world cast out so evil,
Poor, repsnthnt Magdalena;
We no more should dare to soon
With our phsrissic pride,
Wrapping close our robes about us,
Passing on'jhe other side.
If we know, When friends around us.
Closely press to say " Goodby,"
Which among the lips that kiss us _
Firstbsncuth the iloWers would lie, '
While like rain upon their faces
‘ Fell our bitter; blinding tears,
Tender words of love eternal
We should whisper in their ears.

I
A Brave ll‘lSh Boy.
0
In the month cf May, 1864, . a. boy of
fourteen, with a small bundle under his
arm, might have been seen walking wear-
ily over a rough Kentucky road. His
hair was brown, his eyes were gray, and
there was a gbcd-humored expression on
hisbroud Celtic face; for our hero was
an Irish boy, who had gone out into the
world to seek his fortune. .
“Where will I sléep to-night P” Pat
Roach murmured, for that was his name.
“Last nightI slep on the ground, and
it was very stiff I i this morning.”
-, _ At this moment his eyes fell upon a
large and imposing mansion, on a little
eminence to the right.
' ., "Maybe they will let me sleep 'in the
barn,” he thought. “I'll give them a
chance, anyhow. ”.
He turned into the front door, and
knocked, for there was no bell. The door
was opened by a. colored woman.
“ Well, child, what do you want ?" she
asked, not unkindly.
“Can you let me sleep in the barn?” "
inquired Pat.
. “What does the boy want, Chloe ?"
"asked a little lndy, who had just entered
the .broad hall.
“He wants to sleep in the barn, Miss
* The young lady came ' forward and
looked pleasantly at the boy.
“What is your name i” she asked.
“ Pat Roach, miss."
“ Where are you going P”
"To seek my fortune, miss.‘
. “ Haven’t you a home I"
“ Yes, miss, but there is more of us
than father can well keep, and I am the
oldest, so I am going out for myself. "
“ Where did you sleep last night P"
1‘ 0n the ground.” '
“ That was a pity. You didn’t enjoy
it much, did you ?"
“Nohmiss, answered Pat, shrugging
his shoulders. “ But it'was cheaper‘—”
“ I suppose you haven't very much
money, have you ?" said the young lady,
smiling.
“ Note. cent, miss."
“Have you had any supper i"
“ Oh, yes, miss, I have had a cracker."
“You must still be hungry ?"
“ Try mo and see,” said Pat, drolly,
and with a twinkle in his eye.
“ I will,” said the young lady, smiling.
' “Chloe, take this boy into the kitchen,
and give him a good supper."
“And may I sleep in the barn after-
ward i” asked Pat.
“ No, but you my sleep in the house.
Chloe, let him occupy the little back
room on the second floor."
}‘ Thank you, miss," said Pat, grate-
fully. - “It will be a. fine thing.to sleep
info. real bed again." ”‘
' Chloe was well disposed to second the
benevolent intentions of her young mis-
tress. She: gave Put the best meal he
had eaten for months, and drew out. the
boy’s story, which Pat was ready to tell.
In return she told the boy that the estate
a was; pwnod by Mrs. Stanton and her '
" 2‘ dfifighter,‘ who were left wealthy by the
late Mr. Stanton, who had died during
thcvlsst your. Besides herself there was
emu-servant, but he was sick with a
fever. ‘
“ You’d better. hire me," suggested
Pat, {‘whilo he is sick. "
“You can‘t do a man’s work, child.”
“Try mo and see,” said Pat. “I can
eat a. man’s supper, anyhow."
“You are right there, honey, " said
Chloe, showing her teeth.
‘ A little after-eight o’clock, Pat, being
fatigued with his hump,_went to bed and
was soon fast asleep. Mrs. Stanton and
her daughter sat in a room on the second
floor, one wprkiug and the other reading
aloud, when the daughter, approaching
the window, descrled to her alarm, 11 com-
pany of men, ten in number, approach-
ing the house. ,
At this time it was not uncommon for
slnsll‘ roving bands, passing themselves
offas confederate soldiers, but really only
robbers intent upon plunder, to scour
. the country. forcing their way into lonely
houses and, carrying ofi‘ whatever of value
they found. ‘
Now it happened that Mrs. Stanton, '
whohad recently received a. large psy-
mcnt, had no less than two thousand dol-
lars in Northern greenbacksiu her house,
and these she feared would be discovered
in ransacking the house and carried off.
the money was uppermost in her mind
and her;.daughtor's. -
“ What shall we do with the money,
Jennie?” she asked in a. tone of distress.
“ Where can we best hide] it ?"
“I know ofuo safe place. The house
will be thoroughly searched.”
“ But I can't afford to lose it,” said
Mrs. Stanton, in dismay.
“ Give it tome, mother ; I have thought
of a way of saving it. There may be
some risk about it, but it. may do."
From a. bureau drawer the mother took
a'large roll of bills, and with trembling
hands delivered it to her daughter.
' ':“ What are yOu _going to do with it,
Jennie ?" ‘
“ I will tell you afterward, mother
dear. Now there is no time." ‘
The young lady summoned Chloe,
briefly explained her purpose, and pro-
ceeded to the room occupied by Pat
Roach.
Pat awoke, on being shaken, and stared
in surprise at his visitors.
“ What's wanted ?” he asked.
“Are you an honest boy? Can I trust
you I" asked the young lady, abruptly.
‘ “ I never stole a cent in my‘fe, miss."
said Pat, proudly.
“I will trust you, then, ” said Jennie,
briefly. ” There are some robbers up-
proaching the house who will carry off
all they can find. Now we have two
thousand dollars in the house.” ,
“ Two thousand dollars l” ejaculated
Pat, in astonishment. -
“Yes. The only place they won’t
think of searching is in your pocket.
Dress as quickly as possible, and put
this money in. your pocket. "
“Yes, miss ; what will I do then I”
These men will probably stay all night.
Early in the morning—before sunrise—
you must lesve‘the house and stgy away
gill ten or eleven o’clock. _Chlqc will
Volume LXXXIY.
’g'ive you som‘e'food to take with ybu. Do
you understand f”
“Yes, miss.”
“ By ton probably these men will be
gone, and then you can bring the money
back.”
“Yes, miss, I’ll bring it back faithful-
ly, us sure’s my name is Pat. "
Loud knocks were heard at the door,
and the two hurried away. Opening the
front door they confronted the troop of
marauders. -
“ What doyou want. at. this late hour?"
asked Jennie. .
“Supper and shelter for the night,”
answered the leader. '
“Who are you, sir I" ‘
“ Captain J Ones, of the Confederate
army," he replied, in a surly tone.
“Therf- why are you away from the
main army, sir?” -
“ That’s my business.” answered the
so-cslled Capt. Jones, impudently.’
“If you insist upon entering, you
must, but. we object to turning our house
into a camp. ”
“ Can’t help it, miss. It’s one of the
necessities of war. File in, men !"
Chloe was obliged to produce from the
pantry all the cooked food in the house,
and the men did justice to it. J ennio
Stanton remained up, feeling in no
humor to go to bed. When the rcpust
was over, Capt. Jones said,—
“Miss Stanton, I learn that you have
a large sum of money in,the house. We
must have it. ”
“What, would you plunder us ?” asked
the young lady, indignantly. .
“We don’t takc‘it for ourselves. It is
for the cause, " said fie leader, hypocriti-
cally. “ You may as well bring it at
once, and save the trouble of a search.
You can’t deny that the money was paid
you last Monday."
“ I don‘t deny it," said the young lady,
calmly ; “ but the money has already
passed outof our possession."
“I don’t believe‘it," said the captain,
feeling very much disappointed. '
“ Then you may search the house,”
said Jennie, outwardly bold, but inward-
ly trembling lest the money should be
discovered. ‘ '
“ I will, ” said Capt. Jones. “Of course,
where such a. large amount is concerned,
we cannot trust the word of any one."
“ Very well, sir, proceed. Chloe, go
with these gentlemen.”
She slipped away to inform her mother
of what she had done, and put her on her
guard.
In the course of the search, they came
to Pat's room. .
“ Who sleeps in this apartment ?” in-
quired the captain.
“ A poor Irish boy, sir, who asked for
a night's lodging.”
.“ Let me see him. "
The door was thrown open, and Pat
stared at the visitor.
“What’s your name, boy ?" ushcd
Jones.
“ Psi: Roach. "
. “ Do you live here i”
“No, sir; the ladies let me sleep here
io-night. They gave me a. good supper
beside. ”-
“ Where are you travelling I"
“ I'm seeking my fortune. "
“Are these your clothes ?”
“Yes, sir.”
To Chloe’s great alarm, Capt. J ones
took up Pat’s poor garments and thrust
his hands into the pockets. But she
need not have been alarmed. Pat had
taken out all the bills and put them under
the sheet upon which he was lying. Only
a cent was found in the pockets.
“You are not rich," said Jones.
Pat laughed "
“If I was, what would I be seeking
my fortune for l" he answered.
“There’s nothing here," said Jones,
unsuspiciously. q
The search continued and a. few articles
of small value were discovered, but the
great prize was not to be found. Capt.
Jones concluded that Miss Stanton was
right, after all, and contented himself
with what he had found.
About four o’clock in the morning, Pat
was called by Chloe, who gave him some
provisions in a' paper and let him out.
“You’ll come back ?”
. “ Never fear, ’_' said Pat.
About nine o’clock Jones and his party,
after an ample breakfast, left the house.
~Still Mrs. Stanton felt nervous and anx-
ious about the money.
“Jennie,” she said, “that boy will
never come back.”
“ I think he will, mother. ”
“It was a crazy idea trusting 9. poor
Irish boy, whom you had never seen be-
fore last night, with so large a sum. "
“It was the only thing we could do,
mother. If we lose it, it will be no worse
than to. have Capt. Jones take it."
“Two'thousnnd dollars will be a great
temptation to a boy like that."
“ Mother, I like the boy’s face, and
will stake a good deal on his honesty."
“ When you have lived as long as I
have, Jennie, you won’t be so ready to
trust a stranger. Why, the boy is only a
trump. ” '
"‘ Even a trump maybe honest. "
Mrs. Stanton sighed.
' “ Depend upon i ,” she said, “we
never shall see the money again.” /
Two hours passed. It was after eleven,
and still nothing was to be seen of Pot.
The young lady herself grow_ nervous.
After all, perhaps her mother was right.
But at half past eleven there was a
knock at the door. It was opened, and
case stood Pat.
“ Have you got the money ?" asked
Chloe, breathlessly.
“ Every dollar of it," said Pat.
“ What made you stay so long I”
Put explained that he had met Capt.
Jones and his men, who had made him
block all their boots, and thus detained
him an hour. For this service they gave
him a twosdollnr confederate note, which
was far from being an extravagant
remuneration for his labor, depreciated
as it was.
“ He didn’t think I had such a. pile of
money in' my pocket,” chuckled Pat.
I could have paid him better for blanking
my boots.”
“ Did you come here directly after you
left him i)”, asked Miss Stanton.
“No, miss, I didn’t dare to for fear he
would suspect something. I came as
soon as I could; Here's the money, and
I'll bid you good-by. "
Jennie said a few words to her mother;
then she turned to Pat. .
“ How would you like to live with us?"
, 'she inquired.
“ Tip-top l” answered Pat; promptly.
“Then you shall do so. You shall not
be wholly a. servant, but we will see that
you are educated and prepared for a
good . position hereafter. You have
shown yourself worthy of confidence,
and will find us not ungrateful
So Pat found a home and friends. He
had sought his fortune and found it. He
is nown prosperous and thriving man,
and has been able to provide for his pa.-
rents and help along his younger broth-
ers and sisters. Had be abused the con.
fidencc reposed in him,' and carried off
the two thousand dollars, it is hardly
likely that his future would have been as
bright.‘ '
A bird upon the wing may carry a seed
that shall add a new species to the vege-
table family of a. continent ; and just so a
have results immeasurable, eternal.
EXPRESSION OF IDEAS.
It isodd, but true, that long words
more commonly express ignorance than
do the short. words. Short words are
used for the expression of stalwart ideas
that; are perfectly capable of standing
alone, while the refinement of those ideas
are more commonly expressed in long
words. The grandest thoughts in any
literature are expressed in few and well-
choscn words, and, as a ride, the man of
ideas is more simple in his language
than he who has no oliginality, and relies
on others for thoughts, which he then
proceeds to put into his own expressions.
The man of ideas which are capable of
standing alone is usually careless about
the appearance his ideas may make, just
as the rich man is content to dress more
plainly than hi5 poorer neighbors,
because he and everybody else knows he
is rich, he need not advertise his~wealth.
It is also often noticed that men of ideas
hesitate in their speech more than do
those who have few ideas and few words
to express them in. The reason is evi-
dent. Men of a large vocabulary will
pick and choose in their words in order
to get the word that will best do the
work expected of it. If this one will not
answer, it will be taken out and an-
other substituted, while the man of a.
limited vocabulary and few ideas will
never be at a loss for the simple reason
that he has but the one sci; of ideas and
the one set. of words to express them. '
The words are easily fitted to the ideas
and the work is done. Of all people in
the world, young women are the most
.glib in conversation, but it is not fro
any quantity of ideas or of words either,
for the command of either is usually
limited, but for the reason already as-
signed. The man who has but one suit
Of clothes is never troubled about dress-
ing himself, for he puts on his one suit
and goes about his business. It is the
man who has a number of different suits
who is confronted by the problem what
to wear and how to wear it.

THE NOR‘VEGIAN HORSE.
The small, plump, creamzcolorcd ani-
mal in front of you has a number of dis-
tinctly Norwggiau traits which. are cer-
tain to excite a. measure of interest. He
displays an almost human degree of in-
telligence in accurately adjusting his
actions to the circumstances in» which he
happens to find himself. . Whips being a.
luxury in the country, and more often
than not dispensed with, the shrewd
quadruped proceeds at the outset to dis-
cover in a. thoroughly methodical and
almost scientific manner whether his new
driverposscsses one of these objectionable
instruments. He begins by.turning his
head, which is unencumbered with
blinkers, and by this means is able to
frame on initial hypothesis. He then
goes on to verify his conjecture-by a
number of tentative experiments, such as
stopping short some yards this side of a
hill or a. gate. He seems thoroughly to
understand the conditions on which he is
let out to the tourist, and knows his
duty far too well to allow himself to be
, overworked and so rendered unfit for to-
morrow’s task in his owner’s meadows.
He will trot down a steep hill at a rate
which is calculated to frighten the
novice, but strenuously insists on taking
every rise, however gradual, at a. creep-
ing pace. This is apt to ex crate the
ordinary British tourist who has im-
ported the habits of city life into these
sequestered regions, and who calculates
on getting over so much ground in a
given time. But the experienced Nor-
wegian traveler knows better than to
make rigid calculations.
THE ORIGIN OF WHEAT.
Evolution claims at length to have
solved the problem of the origin of
wheat. The noted botanist, Grant Allen,
says:—
“Whent ranks by origin as a de-
generate and degraded lily.‘ The primi-
tive ancestor of the lily was a very sim-
ple plant, with a triple set of pollen bear-
ing stamens, fertilized by insects. It.
thus acquired those bright colors and
that beauty which rivclled ‘Solomon in
all his glory.’ The development was
through many stages, through the
alesiua and marsh arrow grass and in-
numerable forms, lmtil it reached the
perfect lily. The first downward step
seems to have been self-fertilization,
taking the place of the insect old. After-
ward the winds brought the varied for-
tilizing pollen dust, and so come the
rushes—plain little lilies, with dry,
brownish flowers ; then the wood rushes,
something between the true rush and
grasses. The Euscaulou, a common
American water plant, rushlike in
chnrocter, bridged over the gap between
the rushes and the grasses, and then
stop by step the changes in the part of
the flowor culminated in'our wheat plant. ‘
With the wood rush commenced the
habit of storing gluten and starch along
with the embryo, which has made the
cereal so valuable for human food and
raised our wheat, the descendant of the
lily, the queen of the floral world, to the
rank of the prince of grains, bearing its
princely sway upon all the golden hula,
vest fields of every civilized race and
nation of the globe." "
CHASE” BY A SPIDER.
The king of the spiders on the pampns
is not a Mygale, but, a. Lycosa of extra.-
ordinary size, light gray in color, with a
black ring around its middle: It is active
and swift, and irritable to such a degree
that one can scarcely help thinking that
in this species nature has overshot her
mark. When a. person passes near one— _
say within three or four yards of its lurk-
ing-plnce-wit starts up and gives chase,
and will often follow for a. distance of 3C
or 40 yards. . I came once very nearly
being bitten by one of these savage crea-
tures. Riding at an easy trot over the
dry gross, I suddenly observed a spider
pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and
keeping up with my beast. I aimed a
blow with my whip, and the point of the
lush struck the ground close to it, when
lash. and was actually within three or
four inches of my hand when I flung the
whip from me. The gnuchos have a ,very
quaint balled which tells that the city of
Cordova wasonce inyuded by an army of
monstrous spiders, and that the "towns-
people went out, with beating drums and
flags flying, to repel the invasion, and
that after firing several volleys they were
forced to tnm'snd fly for their lives. I
have no doubt that a sudden great in-
crease of the man chasing spiders, in a.
year exceptionally favorable to them,
suggested this fable to some rhyming
satirits of the town.
'rn'E van“: or m moors.
‘Mountuinecrs in North Carolina. and
Tennessee have made a good deal of
money digging the roots of the ivy. Ten
and tWelve dollars per ton is paid for
them at the railroad stations. They are
shipped north to be turned into door
and bureau knobs, and for inlaid and
venoering work. These roots have been
considered a nuisance in clelu'ing land
for the plow, but now will sell for more
word, a thought, from a. living soul, may

have been bought two years ago.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
Nothing is more annoying to printer
and publisher than .to detect errors in a
printed work when it is too late to cor-
rect them. In spite of the utmost pains
of theproofreader, mistakes will now and
then be overlooked on the printed slip,
only to be discovered when the edition is
worked off. Some of those typographical
errors are amusing. We know an in-
stance where a. leading divinb in a New
England city rushed into the office of a
prominent editor, and, laying dowh the
Saturday edition of the paper, steruly
demanded, “ What does your compositor
mean by such an announcement as this?
I wrote that the topic of my sermon was
‘Czcsar’s things and God’s things.’ It
reads here that the ‘Rev. Mr. — will
speak on Corsair’s thugs and God’s
thugs.’ " Matters were explained, and
the reverend gentleman was consoled by
the reflection that he was not alone in his
trouble.
Perhaps no man was ever more dis-
turbed by a. trifle than the reporter,
who, concerning the appearance of the
belle of thetosvn at a. picnic, intended to
say "she looked au fait,” and found the
types had it, “ she looked all feet.”
Prof. Bush was at one time proof-
render of the American Bible Society.
Though, for the greater part, very core-
ful about his work, he permitted one
edition of the Bible to go to press with
the expression, “The desolate hath
many more children than she which hath
a hundred," instead of “ bath a bus-
bamL” .
Of an oflice-sceker a, friendly editor
wrote, “ He has secured a position in the
custom house, as his well-known capacity
convinced us he woulL .” We venture to
say the aspirant for political preferment
was not gratified when he perceived that,
according to the paper, his success was
due to his “ well-known rapucity."
What should have been “The lumber
men in this vicinity are busy skidding
their logs," uppeared “ The humbler
men in this vicinity are busy skinning
their dogs.” ‘
In a certain discourse Rev. Dr. Bethune
said : “While men slept the devil sowed}
fares.” The “Christian Intellgenco ” re-
ported him ashuving snic “ sawed trees."
Somewhat closely allied to these typo-
graphical perversities is the for from per-
spicuous language in which papers oc-
casionally convey intelligence. Several
years since. in a sheet published at Bel- .
fast, Ma, we saw, iuan account of a riot.
“ Two shots were fired at ———-; the ,first
killed him, but the second was not fatal."
Another paper asserts that “ A gentle-
man laidun egg on our table this morn-
ing that weighs all of four ounces.” But
slightly less wonderful than the fact of a.
gentleman “laying an egg,” is the light-
ness of the table upon which the occur-
rence took place.

WONDERFUL MEMORY.
Andrew G. Curtain, the great war Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania, has a. wonderful
memory concerning those who entered
the military service of this State during
the war. Not long ago William W. Ker,
the lawyer, was introduced to him, and
the first question the Governor asked
was whether he was not one of the four
Ker brothers who volunteered together
for the war. “I am,” answered Ker.
“ What has become of the other three ? "
asked the Governor. “ Do you know, I
remember the names of every family of
two‘ or more brothers who enlisted in
Pennsylvania?” Ker then told him
what the fate of his brothers had been.
“ We were all six feet high. The eldest
went into a cavalry regiment and in one
of. the actions before Richmond had his
arm broken by a. bullet. He staggered,
supported by a friend, to the rear, when
a second shot pierced his body, paralyz.
ing the entire right side of it. At this
time orders were issued that; the com-
missoned officers incapacitated for ser-
vice filould be retired. Unwilling to
leave his regiment, he had special trap-
pings made for his horse, and strapped
to the saddle did afterwards good service
in the field, and was with the army that
hung on Lee‘s rear after his defeat at
Gettysburg in 1863. - The soldiers called
him the paralyzed Captain, and he re-
mained with his regiment in that con-
dition until the closeof the war. He
was then appointed to a. captaincy in the
regular army, but I met the messenger
bringing his commission with the words :
‘My brother has just died.’ Our
youngest brother, who was only seven-
teen years of age, was killed in front of
Richmond His body was never re-
covered. A friend of the family, who
was in the fight with him, said that a ball
struck him over the heart, whereupon he
flung up his hands and fell over stone
dead. This was the last ever seen or
henrd‘of him. The bodies of the killed
were so disfigured by mud and slime
that recognition was impossible. My
other brother, Richard, remained with
me in the service until the surrender.”

110W LOBSTERS HEAR,
. I have myself repeatedly dissected the
sea-lobster, and it has occurred to me
that perhaps the larger antennae of the
lobster are sound-receivers; they seem
well adapted to this purpose, since from
their consu'uction they may be readily
thrown into vibratory movements. They
have a wide range of motion and are
easily moved by their own muscles. I
have observed the action of this animal
while at rest upon the bottom of the sea
in shallow water, when the fluid sur-
rounding him was suddenly thrown into
vibrations by the blow of on car upon
the bottom of mybont; the- larger :m-
tcu'uzc were then immediately thrown
upward, the better to ascertain, as it
seemed, the scource of sound. There is
still further reason for believing ilmt
sound is perceived in this manner, for
these antennas are supplied with nerves:
of very considerable size, which are given
off from the ganglionic centre near lllC
origin of the optic nerves. If (1113.50.
views are correct, the hearing sense is.
but u. more highly specialized state of tho
kindredsénse of touch, and much more
primitive than in the sound-receiving
and transmitting organs which are adapt-
ed to respond to the force of the aerial
undulations which constitute soimd ;.yet
they are sufficient where u highly-spe-
cializedthearin'g sense is probably -not re-
quired. .

THE ORANGE TREE.
The orange tree is the longest lived
fruit tree known. Iii is reputed to have
attained the age of three hundred years,
and if. has been knowh to have flourished
and borne fruit for more than a hundred
years. No fruit tree will grow and pro-
duce fruit so well under rough treat-
ment. It commences to bear the third
or fourth year; after budding, and by the
fifth year it will produce an abundant
crop, but its yield will increase gradu-
ally under favorable circumstances, and
as years pass on it will becomes very
productive tree. The early growth of
the orange is quite rapid, and by the
. tenth yentvit wllI have increased more.
than in the next fifty years, so far as its
breadth and hight are concerned; but
its age multiplies its fruit stems greatly,
and nn-old tree will sometimes bear
several thousand oranges.

PROLONGISG LIFE. -
It was during the darkness of the Mid-
dle Ages, ripe with fanaticism and su-
pcrstition, that the most absurd ideas of
witchcraft, horoscopes, chiromancy, and
empirical punuli‘éas‘for the prolongation
of life first beams-{mummies Tho
philosopher’s $50119 and elixir of life
were then vaunted‘ by the alchemists.
Foremost among the prolongers, of life
we find Parnoelsus, an alchemist of great
renown, and a. man of considerable nt-
tainmcnts. He claimed to have dis-
covered the elixir of life. So great was
his influence that even the learned
Erasmus did not disdain to consult him.
Patients and pupils flocked around him
from every quarter of Europe. Not-
withstanding his fnmous “stone of im-
_mcrtality,”_ he died at the age of 50.
His vaulted elixir was a. kind of sulphur
similar to compound sulphuric ether.
Nevertheless, to the researches of Pum-
celsus we are indebted for our primary
knowledge of mercury, which he was the
first to needs a medicine. About this
epoch one Leonard Thumeysser attained
worldwide celebrity sis an astrologer and
and nativity caster. . He was a physician,
printer, bookseller, and horoscopist all
in one.
astrology, he could not only predict
He published yearly an astrological cal-
ender, describing the nature of the forth-
coming yenr and its chief events. His
calendar and other qunckeries enabled
him to amass the sum of 1,000 fiorins.
He declared that every man lay under
the influence of a certain star, by which
his destiny was ruled. On ascertaining
from w‘luit planet a. person’s misfortunes
or sickness proceeded, he advised his
patient to remove his residence within
the control of a more propitious lumi-
nary. In short, to escape from the in-
fluence of a malignant to a. more friendly
satellite was the basis of his theory.
ENVELOPE-MAKING.
The process of manufacturing envel-
opes is apparently simple,- although in
reality complicated. True there are only
three distinct operations to be gone
through with~the cutting, gumming and
folding, but the blending of the last two
operatibns into one makes necessary the
use of a complex machine. There is
b.
,the operation. The paper, as it comes
from the factories, is cut in squares or
diagonals measuring thirty or‘ forty
inches, special diagonal shapes being
chosen for particular cutting-dies, in
order to save waste which would follow
from the sheet not being especially
adapted to the die. Each sheet will
average thirteen envelopes, which are cut
out by dies of innumerable sizes and
shapes, but all verging on the diamond,
five'hundrcd sheets being placed on the
presses at a. time. In spite of all pro-
cautions there is a waste of two pounds
in every fort-y. The folding and running
machines are now brought into use, and
no more fascinating occupation can be
found for a ivhile than to watch their
lightning-like motions as they turnout
finished ell/velopes at the rate of seventy-
fivcu minute. Each of these machines
requires no other attendant than agirl
who receives the envelopes as they are
forced out, binds them and packs them
into boxes. Six of the machines are used
entirely for pnpetries, five for gumming,
folding and printing at the some time,
and the root for plain commercial envel-
opes to the packers in lots counted out,
to suit.

PAY OI" AMERICAN AUTHORS.
The pay of authors is apparently an
affair of private business and public con-
cern, What a man is paid for a. picture
or a book, a sketch or a poem is always a
subject of speculation. A judicious iu-
tel-viewing of publishers reveals some
light on the matter. Mr. Stedmun is n
. broker and a bunker, happily for him,
{or his poetry and prose together would
not pay his house rent. Mrs. Burnett
gels $5, 000 for a. novel published serially
and as much again when put in book
form. , Mr. HOWell gets about $5,000 for
a serial and a percentage on the book
publication. Mr. Marion Crawford has
averaged about $5,000 apiece for his
stories. Mr. Stodthrd has to do an enor-
mous amount of /work to keep the pot
boiling, and if he had not a regular
salary as a. literary critic of the Mail and
Eupress he would find it hard to get
along. "J. S. of Dale,”'is chard-work-
ing Boston lawyer, who takes novel-
writing {is a recreation. John Bur-
Slates bank inspector. 'ank R. Stock-
ton travels from place to place, finding
material for his stories and enjoying life
after the fashion of the good Bohemia-u.
Dr. Holmes has “riches, honor, troops
of friend," beside his literary profession.
Col. Higginson devotes himself wholly
to writing, both inori'ginal work, editing
and‘compiling. Mr. Aldrich devotes him-
self to editing, which many of hisadmirer.
rebel against, feeling Pegussus is put to
the plough. Mr. Cable was formerly a
bookkeeper in a cotton house, and his
public readings have been already given
him more substantial returns than his
novels. Charles Dudley Warner is an
editor, and his purely literary ‘work‘is
a side luxury. Julian Hawthorne and
Edger Fawcett write everything and
everywhere, and remind one, intellectu-
ally, of the gymnasts of Barnum’s who
keep three balls in the air at once with
their hands and play foot-ball with
their feet. Henry James had an ample
'i'urtune to begin with, and he is a novel-
Isl. n'nule rather then born, and a very
creditable article of self-manufacture
he is.
_ nanomms IN MEXICO.
Laborers in Mexico fare hard. Thirty
cents a day is the common rate of wages.
Farm work, mining, factory labor and do-
mestio service are all alike paid low. The
custom of making loans to laborers to be
repaid by work is common and tends mn-
terially to prevent their social advance:
ment. Tho‘lnrge factories are thus an-
abled to retain their hands as long as
they desire. The latter are: not allowed
to leave their employment till they have
paid their debts, and as that is generally
impossible out of wages which are barely.
enough for support, the debtor continues
a virtual slave to his life’s end.

A FAMOUS rmA'rn.
The Providence Journal relates the fol-
lowing history of the hanging of Gibbs.
the pirate: The only connection of.
Gibbs with Rhoda Island was that he
was a. native of,‘aud first sailed from,
\ this, State. He was a sailor on the brig
Vineyard, Captain Thomley, which left
1830, for Philadelphia, with a cargo of
cotton, molasses and sugar, and $30,000
in money. Gibbs headed a conspiracy
among the crew to murder the captain
and the mate, William Roberts, and
plunder and sink the vessel. The cap-
tain and mate were thrown overboard.
those of the seamen who had not joined
in the crime were frightened into sub?
mission, and 'the specie was divided
among the crew. Off Long Island, the
crew scuttled the ship and set fire to it,
and took to the boats. They buried the
money in the sand, on Barren Island.
One of the crew, named Brownfigg, con-
fessed the crime to Johnson, the only
man living on the island. The specie
belonged to Stephen Gimrd, and most of
it was recovered. The crew were all up.
prehended and Gibbs and the siewurt,
Walmsley, a. colored man, who were
most guilty, were hanged, on Ellis
Island, New York, April 22, 1831. Be-
fore his execution, Gibbs related that,
when about fifteen years of age, he was a.
sailor on board the sloop-of-war Hornet,
and was in the action of the capture of
the’ British sloop-of-wur Peacock, off
the coast of Pernambuco,.and was also
with Captain Lawrence on the Chess.-
peak, in her encounter with the Shannan.
After his exchange he refund to Boston
where, having determined to abandon
the sen, he established himself in the
grocery business, with 9. capital of $1,000.
which he procured'from his friends in
: Rhode Island. Being unsuccessful in
business, he went to the sen again, and
at Bueuos Ayres shipped on a privateer.
The crew mutined, took possession of
the vessel and started on a career of
piracy, in the course of which they cap-
tured nearly twenty vessels and mur-
dered nearly 400 human beings: On one
occasion they captured a. Dutch ship,
boun from Curacon to Liverpool, with
a noble cargo, and a company of
thirty souls, including the crow. All
were put to death, with the exception of
a. young lady about seventeen, who,
though spared, was compelled to witness
' the butchery of'her-father and mother
I before her eyes. They kept her' on
board for some time, and when it was
determined to proceed to Havana, a. con-
sultation was held to decide whether it
would be safe to give her liberty upon
her aITival. The majority were up-
prehensive that she might betray them,
and she was put to death by poison,
Gibbs claiming, however that he in-
terceded in her behalf. Gibbs said that
he first went to sea from Newport in
1816, his real name being James D.
J otters.
BURNS AND SKIN-GRAFTING.
' Burns are a great source of trouble to
the surgeon in many ways. For instance,
if a burn is very extensive, there may be
great difficulty in getting a cicntrico to
form over the whole of it. ‘ (Cicatrization
only begins in the immediate neighbor-
hood of living epidermis, and therefore
a burn or ulcer must heal from the cir-
cumference to the centre. But the fur-
ther that the cicatrlcial tissue extends
from the margin of thePburn, the more
imperfectly is it formed; and indeed it
may fail altogether to reach the centre.
This difficulty has often been moi: by a
small operation called skin-grafting. A
piece of sound skin about; the size of a
split pen is pinched tip—say, on the out-
side of the arm—and the epidermis snip-
ped ofi‘ with a pair of curved scissors,
just going deep enough to out slightly
into the skin and draw a. little blood.
Aspecial kind of scissors has been in-
tentcd for the purpose that will only
take up just the right amount of skin, so
that the operation is thus made even
simpler still; and if it is skillfully per-
formed it causes only very trifling pain.
The little fragment of skin thus separa-
ted is then placed gently, with its raw
surface downward, on the unheated sur-
face of the burn. The same thing is re-
peated again and again till there are
many graftsyif the burn is a large one.
Isinglass plaster or somepther similar
material is employed to keep the grafts
in position and preserve them from in-
jury. In about four days they should
have taken root, and then they covering
can be removed There is now a num-
ber of foci from which cicntrization can
start; for, as before said, it will begin
from where there is an epidermal cover-
ing, and thence alone. After n times
number of liflale islands of scar tissue
may be seen, which go on increasing
until at length they coalesce with one
another and also join that extending
from the margin of the burn. This is
what happens if all goes well; but, un-
fortuhatcly, there is u very great. tend-
ency for a electrics formed from grzifts
to break down and disappear, so that
the result is not by any means always
so satisfactory as it at fifst promises to
be.
NO LONGER CURIOUS.

Sleep after fatigue, and health after disease, are
two of the sweetest experiences known to .man.
Fourteen years Is a. long time in which to suffer,
yet Mr. Peter 'anler, of Dalton, Mass, had led a
miserable life for that period through the reaseucc
or stone in the-bladder. ' That he sought a a‘.l di-
rections for a cure is an almost superfluous state-
ment. He did obtain temporary relief, but nothing
more. Last January he called on' Dr. David Ken-
nedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who said, after examina-
tion: “Mr. Lawler,vou have stone in the bladder. '
We will llrrt try . DR. DAVID KENNEDY’S FA-
VORITE REMEDY before risking an operation.”
A few days later the following letter passed through
the Rondou: post-omcc :
