Entranced me oft in boyhood v d y :
H s forest-*, gfena and sipniin,

A Highland lake w! lady were
ihe play matt of my dreams.
Years |H ! away ; -my dreams were gone ;
My : ilgnm pressed alone
L 'i:h Katrine's storied shores;
And wind- that wi g I me o'er the lake
Breathed \* w, as f fhey (eared to breaa
The mu ic of my oars.
No tramp of warrior men WHS heard :
F- r welcome song r challenge word
I listened, hut in vain ;
And, moored bertea ti hi- ; e tree,
A - vamly wooed the minstrelsy
Of gray haired "A linn B iiiC."
1 saw th' 1 Hiahhitid hf&th flower smile
In beauty upon E len's isie;

Like shadows to depart.

INDIAN SIMMER. —The New York Far
inert* Ciub speculates upon the cause of
loihaii Summer in this wise; The warm,
liiokv spell known as Indiu Summer,
which perhaps is more peculiar to the North
e a.-tarn Siav - of America than any other
i-ortiou of the gl ! 0, always occurs after the
iir.-t killing frost. not the first white frost,
nut on t' .it i- severe enough to bring down
nearly a i the fort - t leaves and kill the her
b.ict ous plants. The hulk of vegetation
hits d. v-t i> almost incalculable. In
its sf \v decav this is undergoing slow eotn
itstton. Wi. i can calculate the amount of
-tnok- and h-at given off, or what effect,
his must |"rii slice upon the atmo-phere, or
el' whether that is not the trap cause of
11 dan summer? In support o! thi- theory,
;he fact i- patent, that when frosts were
iinch more extensive, the Indian Summer
wis longer, warmer and more smoky than

THERE is nothing which helps to Csiab
ii-h a man's character and standing in so
ciety uiure than a steady attendance at
church, and a proper regard for the first
lay of the week. Every head of a family
-hould go to church for au example.
Lounging in the street and barroom on the
-abbaih is abominable, and deserves cen
-nre, because it lays the foundation of hab
its which ruin both soul and body. Many a
man can date the comnieDcement of his dis
sipations, which made him a burden to him
s, If and friends, an object of pity in the
sight of enemies, to his Sunday debauchery.
Idl-ne-s is the mother of drunkenness —the
Sabbath i- generally an idle day; therefore,
if it were not properly kept, it were better
struck out of existence.
THE SPONGE. —The best quality of sponge
s found in the M< diterranean sea; but an
'xeeil 'tit quality is found upon 'he rocks of
.he Bahamas and the coast of Florida. The
ipoege, when torn froui the rocks to which
t adheres, is a heavy black looking mass,
iiavimc a sttoug aud offensive odor. In order
o clean the sponge, it is huried in the earth
..r some wi tks, at the > nd of which time all
lie organic matter wi 1 be decomposed, only
lie pure fibrous skeleton remaining. The
sponge, when purified, is liable to become
xcvdioaly hard, and to obviate this the
i.nritk'd sponge is iuitu rsed in water con
fining from ten to twenty per cent, of
tlycetine; after liC'Dg -queiztd dry it will be
•ntirely soft and elastic.
Mis SPENT EVENINGS —The young man
u h ) spi :; is an hour each evening lounging
: i!y on a sticet corner, or in a saloon play
ing "mugging." wastes in the course of a
car the.- hundred and sixty five precious
I: >ui -. which, if applied to study, or some
useful employment, would fit him for al
most ai.y situation. But in addition to thi%
n nine cast s out of teu he adds, to the debt
or si te of the time wasted, ten cents for a
.•igar, ten cents for lager, until lie piles up
enough to have furnished him with all the
leading periodicals and newspaper* of the
ountry. We believe in lecreation; but
soloou I i.living, an l street corner loafing, is
not rem cation, by any means. It is time,
uioiiey and character mis-spent.
('UANCE. —Tlic adequate meaning of
Chance, as distinguished from Fortune, is
that the !att< v is und rstood to befall only
, atiotml agents, but Chance to be among
iiavi'uuatu bodies. Chance is but a mere
name, and really nothing iu itself; a eou
-fcption in our minds, and culy a couipcnd
ious way of speaking, we would express,
that uch effects as are commonly atlribu
ied to chance, were verily produced by
their true ami proper causes, but without
the Je.-ig Ito produce them. — Dr. Bentlny.
