Rosy and warm the lire light falls,tt.,
In the rich man's home to-night,
On.the Nottiree hangAngsgalist, the walls,
And the children's toes bdght.
They pertiya the crimson folds
Away frilm the window blab,
And their eyes looked oat stthe whirling
11110 W,
And the dull and stormy sky.
.The dainty garments an are rich and
ran,
Their lime !kir to Pee,
And the golden gleam of theirebliiing hair
Li as bright as corown might be ;
And many a stranger stops to smile
At the picture warm and bright,
The beatidthl children looking out
On the dark and stormy night.
With tattered garments anti faces thin,
Abroad in the bitter cold #
The poor man's children tire looking in
Through the intuition curtain's fold.
The bleak winds toss theit rags in scorn s
Their feet are aching anti bare,
While they gaze at the hes* and Ugh
- within
And the children', farm fair. /
I think, as I haste along tte street,
• Of the beautiful home above,
Where the rich and the poor alike will
meet
And share in the Father's bye.
The'Lord will open the shining door,
And gather the dear oneqn,
The'rieh, with their eon sisid dainty robes,
And the poor, with thiir garments thin.

It was a / great change-41s going from
comfort* luxury to a pkce where com
fort was/bard to find; and Intury not to be ,
thought of; where they lard a log-hut in- .
stead/of house, and to t in piece of a
pocidle. But, on thew shop enjoyed it.
Fier father was better, and that was what
/ they came for, because thetloctor had said
Colorado air would cure lot And though
mother often looked tired troubled, she
certainly never used tok forth into
happy bits of song when flier was sick In
bed, as the did now that lit was able to cut
down trees In the forest. !asides, who ev
er saw such beautiful blue lowers and such
flaming red blossoms In Raton ? And what
was the frog-pond comptred with these
beautiful streams that no, in the spring
. time, came rushing throne the woods—sl
lently sometimes, and eonitimes so noisy
that If it were not for thek sparkle when
they passed the open sunnj places, and the
huighing way they had of limning into ev
ery chink along the banks,one would think
they were angry! Yee, on the whole,
Winifred liked Colorado ; and so did her
little brother Nat ; though,if.you had told
him Boston was just around the corner, he
would have started to run there without
waiting to put on his cap.
Such a little mite of a fellow Nat was,
and so full of sunshine! Only one thing
could trouble him ; and that was to be away
from mother even for half an hour. There
was something in mother's way of singing,
mother's way of kissing hart little heads
and fingers, mother's way of patting sugar
on bread, and mother's way cf rocking tir
ed little boys, that Nat approved of most
heartily. fie loved his father, too, and
thought him the most powerfel wood cutter
that ever swmog an axe, though really the
poor man bad to stop and rest at nearly
every stroke.
Bee those two children now trudging to
the little stream near by, qtkte resolved up
on having a fins rocking in father's canoe.
This queer boat, made of bark, and sharp at
both ends, was tied to a stake. Now that
the stream was swollen and flowing on so
fast, it was_ fine fun to sit, one on each end,
and get "bounced about," as Winnie said.
"Yeti get in first, because you're the lit
tlest," said Winnie, holding her dress ight
ly away from the splashing water wit' me
hand, and pulling the boat close to the at, ore
with the other.
"No you get in first, 'cause you're a gir.,'
maid Nat. "I donit want no helpin.' I'm
going to take off my tool , and Weida first,
'cause mammy said I might "
Nat could say shoes and stockings quite
plainly when he choose, but everybody said
"toes and tootles" to Min ; so he looked
upon these words, and many other crooked
ones, as a spit of language of Nat, which
all the world would speak if they only
knewitow.

at then through little openings orettund,
and, altbgether, ' with the plashing water

At Ant they talked and langbed softly--
Then they listened. Then they talked a
',sty little. Then they Ihnened
on the roadies in the bottom of the canoe.—
Then they ceased talking end watched the
branches waving overhead ; and at last they
both 0311 sound asleep.
This was early in the morning. Mother
was very Inlay in the cabin, clearing away
the brenkfagt dishes, sWenping the room,
making beds, mixing bread, heating the
men, and doing a dozen other things. At

Mamie Nat! Nat!" "In vain the neigh
bor took the boat and explored the stream
for miles and miles—no trace could be founq
of the poor little areatures, who, fall of life
and joy, had so lately jumped into fittlOr's
canoe to . "have a rOck."
Where were they? Alas! they did not
"themielves know:. They only knew that
they had been waken ed suddenly / byagreat
thnmp, and that whe ne they jumped out of
the canoe and started to go nonae, every
thing was different. There/was no foot
path, no clearing Where troes had been cut
down, no sound df fithees axe neat' by,
nor of mother's •sobg—and the stream was
rushing on very atigrilY over its rocky bed.
Tbe'esnoe, which' i hid been broken loose
and, borne by the ttirrent, floated away with
them miles and miles from the stake, was
wedged between'tWo great stones when they
jumped out of, ii ; but now it was gone—
the waters bad taken it away. .I.lter a while,
in their distiacted *ander ;s, they could
not even flbd the stream, .1 . 0 it seemed
to be roofing in every o. cction around
them. /
Noir' they were M the (,epths of the for
est/wandering abhnt, tired, hungry, and
frAhtened. Two frights they cried them
.elves to sleep in each other's arms under
the trees ; and as the wind moaned through
the branches, Wirmie had prayed god to
save them front the wolves and the Indians,
and little Nat had screamed, "Papa! Mam
ma!" sobbing as if his heart would break.
All they had found to eat was a few sweet
red berries that grew close to the ground.—
Every hour the poctr children grew fainter
and fainter, and, at-last, Nat couldn't walk
at all. , •
"I'm too tired and sick," he said, "and
my feels all tut. /tly loos and . tockies is in
the boat.' 0 WLunie! Winnie !"' he would
cry, with a great sob, "why don't mum.
ma 'n papa come ! Oh ! if mamma'd only
come and bring me some bread r,
"Don't cry, detti don't cry," Winnie
would say, over and over again. "I'll find
some more red berries soon ; and God will
'show us the way hOme. I know he will.—
Only don't cry, Nat, because it takes away
all my courage."
"All your what 3" asked Nat, looking
wildly at her, as if he thought courage was
something they could eat.
"All my courage; Nat." And then, after
searching in gain fdr more red berries, she
would throw herstlf upon her knees and
moan :
"Dear Father in Heaven, I can't find any
thing more for Nat, to eat. Oh! please
show ua the way home!"
What Wes that qUick sound corning to
ward them ? The Underbrush was so thick
Winnie could not see what caused it, but
she held her breath in terror, thinking of
wolves and Indians; for there were plenty
of both, she knew, lurking about in these
great forests.
The sound ceased :for a moment. Seizing
Nat in her arms, she made one more frantic
effort to find her way to the stream ; then,
seeing a strange look in the poor little face,
when she put him down to take a better
hold, she screamed
"Nat? Nat! Don't look so! Kiss Win
the !"
"Hello, there !" shouted a voice through
the underbrush, and In another instant
great stout man came shaking and break
ing his way through the bushes.
"Hello, there! What on alrth's up now?
Ef old Joe hain't come upon queer game
this time. Two sick youngsters—starving,
too, by Josh ! Here; you younguns, eat
some uv this 'ere, and give an account uv
yourselves."
With these words„he drew from some
where among the heatvy folds of his hunt
ing dress a couple of biscuits.
"Holdup! Not so sharp!" he said, "you
must have a little at a time for an hour yet.
Here, sis, give me the baby' ; feed him ;
and as for you, jest see that you don't more'n
nibble."
"Oh ! give me a drink !" cried Winnie,
swallowing the crackbr in two bites, and
for an instant forgetting Nat.
The man pulled a danteen or flat tin fl:,ak
from his belt and gave her a swallow of wa
ter ; then he hastened to moisten Nat's lips
and feed him crumb after crum of broken
biscuit. •
"Another hour," he muttered to himself,
as he gently fed the bey and smoothed back
the tangled yellow hair from the pale little
face, "another hour and he had been past
mendin'. "
Winnie looked up quickly.
"Is he going to diet" she asked.
"Not he," said the' man, "he'll come
through right end up Yet. He'egot a fever
on him, but we'll soon knock that under.—
How'd you get here, my little gal ?"
Winnie told her story, all the while feel
ing a glad certainty at titer heart that their
troubles were over. the stranger carried&
gun and he had a big pistol and an axe and
a knife in his belt. Ire looked very fierce,
too, yet she knew he Would not harm her.
Sbe had seen many a trapper before since
she came to the West, sad though this man
looked very grand and: wore a wonderful
huritingdresB all embroidered and fringed,
and a big bat annd yelbow leggings, she tifit
sure, he was the very trapper who had been
at her father's cabin a few weeks before and
taken supper and warmed himself before
the fire, while he told wonderful stories
aboutindians and itua and about having
many a time had "fikmile o' traps out on'
one stretch."
She remembered, too; that her father had
told bar the nest day that trappers lived by
catching with traps all ',sorts of wild ani
mals and selling their frs to the traders,
and that this particular trapper had been
very, successibi, and liad great influence
among the Indlau-4)4 of the big men of
Colorado, u he said.
These thoughts running through her mind
ter as she told how t4y had _been lost for
days and two nights, and the sight of
Nat, falling peacetbily aaleep 4 the trapper's

Ink Lewta.—At the close of a stormy
March day of this year two soldiers were
crossing from Newport to Fort Adams in a
sail-boat managed by an inexperienced
lad. When they were partly across a blast
suddenly struck the matt; the boy was con
founded, the boat capsized, and for half an
hour, clinging to the keel, the hapless men
and boy struggled with the waves. Then
the hold of the boy relaxed, and he. sank;
but a boat had put off from the Lime Rock
Light-house, about half a mile away, and
before the men were exhausted it. had reach
ed them, and they were saved. The per
sons who saved them were Ida Lewis and
her brother llose, children of the keeper
of the light.
Ten years ago in the same harbour four
young fellows were upset in a boat, and
the same girl hastened in her skiff to res
cue them. A little later three drunken
soldiers stove a hole in their boat not tar
from the light. Two swam ashore, the
third was saved by Ida Lewis when nearly
exhausted. Two years ago some men were
driving a sheep upon the wharf in. New
port. The animal plunged into the water,
and three men running along the shore In
pursuit at length found a skiff and put oat
into the harbour. A heavy sou'wester was
blowing, and the skiff was swamped. Once
More Ida Lewis pushed off for them, and
bringing them safe to shore, returned and
landed the sheep. In the next winter a
scape-grace stole a sail-boat from the
wharf and made off. But the gale drove it
upon the little Lime Rook, a mile from the
light; the thief clung to the mast from
midnight until morning, when Ida Lewis
saw him, and rowing to his relief, found him,
as she said, "shaking and God-blessing me,
and praying to be set on shore."
This is a girl in her twenty-eighth year,
slender, blue-eyed, with light-brown hair,
frank and hearty, and likely to be more fa
mous this summer than any Newport
belle.—Harpers Magazine.
HORRIBLE DEATH PROM HYDROPHOBIA
The Wilmington Commercial contains the
following horrible Amy;
"A child about eleven years, a daughter
of Mr. Davis, who resides on Slate Hill, in
Chester county, about one mile and a-half
from the Spread Eagle Hotel, died from
hydrophobia on 3lonc'sy morning last, after
the most horrible suffering. She was bitten
by her uncle's dog about nine weeks ago.
The dog disappeared thereafter, so that it
was not known whether he was mad or
I not. It was known, however, that he was
I one of the fox-hounds attacked by a mad
dog near the Chester county line about three
months since, the most of which were bit
ten. The child showed no symptoms of
hydrophobia until Saturday afternoon,
• when she had a spasm, refusing to take or
look at water. At first the spent' were
divided by intervals of half an hour, gradu
ally becoming more frequent and severe un
til Monday morning at two o'clock, when
her sufferings were ended by death. Dur
ing the spasms she would froth terribly at
the mouth, snap and bite, and upon bearing
of water she would enter upon a worse
form of convulsion. When the fit was off
eke would beg that her family connections
be kept from her lest she should bite them.
On Monday morning all the dogs known to
have been connected with the for , hunt
mentioned were killed. It was before
doubted whether the dog which attacked
them really was mad."
AT BOXY IN TELE EVENINGS.—Nothing
concerning the future welfare and happiness
of the young is so much neglected by pa-
rents and guardians as the manner in which
their evenings are spent. Dankness is a
temptation to evil ; and suffering young men
and boys to be absent from the family
hearth, when the light of day does not re
strain them from misconduct, is really re
straining them to it, and producing incal
culable mischief and ruin. All the riots,
disturbances of any kind, and crimes, are
the results of running in the streets after
nightfall. At home something is more
necessary than the mere command, and pa
rents should endeavour by theirown exam
ple to show the importance of spending
the hours of darkness with the family ; for
if the heads of households cannot experi
ence the truth of the assertion that "there
is no place like home," how can they ex
pect their offspring to be domestic. Eve
ning recreation and employment In the fam-
liy circle are infinitely more agreeable and
pleasant than any amneement or dissipa-
tion abroad ; and honourable and learned
men are the products of the one, while
dissipated specimens of the human race
are the results of the other. Let home be
the place it should be, and let the same
fascinations and Inducements be offered at
the homestead as abroad, and, a more ex
alted and creditable class of citizens would
people the world.
Purism Enviurrsusuzsr.—A Teutonic
judge having a culprit before him accused
of murder, but proved only guilty of sheep
stealing, laid down the law and evidence
and nature of the verdict, in the following
comprehensive charge : •

the land surrounding the. town, watt poor,
and the yield meager; but the present gene
ration have improved upon the method of
farming adopted by their fathers. By the
liberal use of fertilizers the law] has been
greatly enriched, which has been followed
by improved cultivation, and Gettysburg is
now seated in the midst of one of the most
fertile and productive regions in the State.
The country about it is unsurpassed In
oeauty and loveliness, and many of the
views iltga the encircling hills are as fine as
I have looked-upon anywhere. The in
habitants are polite and ihtelligent, and
the society is as good as can be found in
any country town in Pennsylvatala. Here
are the Lutheran Seminaly and the Penn
Sylvania College, both flourishing Institu
tions of learning, the latter with one hun
dred and fifty students. The town is light
ed with gas, which pays ten per ccnt. at
$4.50 per thousand feet, and it law* sup
plid with water from a spring. The Ist-.
ter is the work of a joint stock company,
and the stockholders receive the cothfort
able dividend of twenty per cent.
The great battle fought here in July 1863,
made Gettysburg both famous and historic,
and from a quiet country village it sudden
litsprang into importance not second to
Waterloo. The interest in it will continue
to increase, and in the lapse of years, when
distance not only lends "enchantment to
the view," but its great historic event Till
be mellowed by the dim, uncertain light of
, the past, it will be visited by thousands.
Some will come out of veneration for the
dead who lie buried on its fields and upon
its hills; others to view the spot where the
Great Rebellion culminated, and dashed
itself against a rock; while others again will
come from idle curiosity, to cut walking
sticks on the battle field, and try to find
mouldering bullets to carry away as me
mentoes of the three days of July. What
ever the motives, the stream of visitors will
continue to flow hitherward as long as
Round Top and Culp's Hill rear their heads
to the sky."
[Col. Davis describes at length the fight,
and the National Cemetery, John Burns, ct.c.,
and closes with a favorable notice of the
Satalysine Spring, the water of which he
used freely during his visit, with beneficial
results.]
"I cannot close my notice of Gettysburg
and its surroundings without mentioning
the celebrated Mineral Spring, a mile and a
half west of the town. Although it has
lately come into public notice, it is now at
tracting more than usual attention. The
waters are of an unusual character, and
after the most careful chemical test are pro
nounced different from any heretofore dis
covered. It contains lithia, a property
which I believe is found in no other water,
and which, from its effect, is thought to be
a lite-giving principle. However this may
be, the effect of' this water on invalids is
most astonishing, and many wonderful cures
have been affected. For rheumatism, rheu
matic gout, and kindred diseases, dyspep
sia, gravel, elections of the liver, and gen
eral debility, it seems to be almost a sove
reign remedy. It is the only known nat
ural water found in the world that will dis
solve calculus, or stone found in the blad
der. Some of the cures it has effected are
really astonishing, and so many cases of
persons•cnred by it have come under my no-
tire, that no room is left for doubt.
there is some powerful mineral in the wa
ter requires no chemist to determine.
Vhile it will keep pure any length of time
in glass or stone vessels, it becomes foul in
wood in a fe.v hours. Where the water
around the spring comes in contact with
vegetable matter it destroys it in a compar
atively short time, the decaying parts emit-
ting an unpleasant odor and are turned as
black aa ink. A. gas is generated whenithe
water is corked up, if it is exposed tq the
heat, and it has been known to burst the
vessels it was in. The water is pure and
colorless, and to many entirely tasteless,.,
while others can distinguished a slightl y
taste. From the effect it pro
duces it really seems to come nearer the
"Fountain of youth," that Ponce de Leon
searched for in vain, in Florida, .than any
other spring hitherto discovered.
In order to accommodate inialhis and
others, who resort to this famous spring to
drink of its rejuvenating waters, a stock
company erected the present seap:m a large
hotel in its Immediately vicinity. It was
built and furnished in the short space of one
hundred days, a s f an expense of sixtythous-
and dollars, and was opened for the dna
time on the lint of July hot. There is no
hotel in the country more complete in *Hits
appointments, and the guests there'c* en/
joy any comfort and' luxury. French cook s
tempt the palate with Inviting dishes, while
polite and attentive waiters are alfrays at
hand to minister to every want. It stands
on the ground where the great bett!e ofSely
opened, and from the observatory on
the top can be seen the whole of
ensangnined field. The hotel le under the
superintendence of Dr. Smith, who aspen-
ses the hospitalities of the house with the
grace of a prince, and -spares - neither
trouble nor expense to make Magnesia corn-
fortable and happy. He is ably eecopded by
'Mr. Row, treasurer and secretary; and in
the heads of these two gentlemen visitors
can rest assured that they will be cared
for. The hotel Is connected with town by
a home railroad whioh 'enables visitors to
psis back and forth with facility, comfort,
and at WI
,1140del:jita cost. We know of
no resort in the conntry, where person seek
ing relitzatiopt, froinlonsiness, or In search of
health, can spend time more plesantly
or more moiltably. We take pleasore in
recommending it to mortis lad others."

work, by which their thirst may be assua

more particularly designed for the benefit
of the draught animals of city street care.
The bit of the bridle or head stall is made
hollow, and has attached to it a flexible
tube connected with a tank carried in or on
the vehicle. By pulling a string the water
is caused to flow into the bit, and thence
through a suitable orifice into the horse's
mouth. This beats the apparatus for filling
locomotive tanks without stopping.
FATAL Tcxrrit Dit.twrso.—A little girl,
eight years old, the daughter of a butcher
in Pittsburg, Pa., on Tuesday died from
lockjaw, the result, as it is alleged; of an
operation which was performed at a dent
ist's shop in one of the upper wards of that
city last week. The little girl had tut ach
ing tooth, and by the advice of her parents
she went to the dentist's office to get it ex
tracted. It is claimed that the operation
was performed in such a rough manner that
the patient grew ill after it, and that lock
jaw set In, from the effects of which she
died. •

the stranger said: "Well, what Is the name
of the lake? " 'The lake Huron, " again
answered-the captain. "I want to know
the lake I'm on—its name. Well, sir,"
said the captain, "the name of the lake
you're on, Is the Lake Huron. Does
that satisfy you ?" The crowd were new
smiling quite audibly, and the man walked
away muttering to himself: "The lake I'm

it was a hot day, and they coocluded to rest
awhile under the shade of a tree, and then
take another drink in " order to get readily
on. The bottle had been passed two or
three times, when. Sam said to Lewis:
"Let's drink the darned stuff up and we
won't be hankering after it." It was dis
posed of. A pause ensued. Lewis nee to
his feet, threw his scythe one his shoulder,
declaring "I'll be darned if I'll mow with

Sam, and with that they trudged home with
