BT FATHER RTAN,
The shadow of the mountain falls athwart the low
ly plain,
And tho shadow of the cloundlet hangs above the
mountain s head
And tho highest hearts and the lowest wear tho
shadow of some pain,
And the smllo Is scarcely rutted ere the anguished
tear is Shed.
For no eyes have there been ever wlthouti-a weary
tear.
And thoso lips cannot be human which never heaved
a sigh;
For without the dreary winter tbera has never been
a year.
And the tempests hide their terrors la the calmest
summer Bky.
So this dreary Ulo Is passlng-and we movo amid Its
maze,
And we grope along together, half in darkness, half
in ugnt ;
And our hearts are often hardened by the m) stories
ot our ways,
Which are never all In shadow and never wholly
nngnt.
And our dim eyeB ask a beacon and our weary feet
a guide.
And our hearts ot all ltto's mysteries seek the mean
lng and the key;
And a cross gleams o'er our pathway, on It hangs
tne crucined.
And He answers all our yearnings by the whisper,
'ronow no."
Select Story.
NOBODY BUT A PRINTER.
iom Chrittian Telegraph.
'Oh I he's only a printer,' exclaimed Miss
Ellen Dupree, a flirting and foppish girl, to
one of her female friends, who was speaking
in terms of praio and commendation of
Mr. Barton Williams, a young and very In
telligent printer.
'Well, Miss Ellen, you seem to speak as
though a printer was not entitled to re
spcctability. I hope you'll explain your
self,' replisd Miss Mary Grossman.
'Well, I hope you'll excuse me. I do not
think it becoming for a young man who has
to labor for a living, to try to move into the
society of those who are his superiors. And
moreover, he might win tbe affections of a
girl superior to him in rank ; and then do
you think her parents would be pleased ? I
know I would rather live an old maid all
my days than marry a poor printer a man
who has to toil day and night ; and then
Lh I to think of being ranked among the
poor I' whined out Miss Dupree,
'Then you think they are beneath you.
'Yes, ma'am, of course.'
'Both in worth and intellect too, I sup
pose ; do you not V
'Yes everything.
'Are you superior to a Franklin, to a
Blackstone, to a Campbell, and many other
eminent men who were printers ? Or do
you believe your intellectual powers soar
above those of a Forney or a Willis, and
many other distinguished printers of tb
present day ?'
'0, now and then you may come across
one that is respectable ; but they are 'few
and far between.' And as to Mr. Williams,
I do not consider him a Franklin or a Black'
stone, or any one else much.'
'Nor do I consider him a Franklin or a
Blackstone either; but I do think him a very
intelligent and handsome young man, and
worthy of any young lady's attention, and
I expect to treat him as such.'
'Well, I expect to consider him beneath
my notice.'
'Now, Miss Dupree, I think you ought to
reflect upon what you are saying, and have
some regard for my feelings. You know
not what you may come to, before you die.'
'Well I don't think I shall ever come to
be tbe wife of a printer, or any body who
has to labor ; nor do I intend to counten
anco such.
Miss Crossman remained silent for some
time, while her face reddened with indigna.
tlon. Mr, Williams was her lover, and a
very good looking man, he was of ordinary
size fair complexion, dark bair, beautiful
whiskers of jet black, and a high and promt'
nent forehead lively and intelligent in con'
versation, and fluent and affable in his ad'
dress.'
A gentle rap was heard at the door, and
the servant Immediately announced Mr.
Willliams. He entered tho parlor, and Miss
Crossman rose and introduced them
Miss Dupree, Mr. Williams.'
Miss Dupree affected to be polite returned
i a Biignt dow, ana coony saiu
i , .. ,
'Good evening, sir.'
Mr. Williams and Miss Crossman con
versed freely, mostly upon literary subjects,
upon which both were well posted ; and, of
course they entertained each other pleasantly
while Miss Dupree sat as though she was In
despair now and then giving a lazy nod of
assent or dissent to any and everything said
to ber. Mr. Williams was gone, and Miss
Dupree turned to Miss Crossman
'Mary, I am really astonished at you
I Ynu are certainly In love with, that fellow.

THE SEQUEL.
Ten years were past. A man aud his wife
were seated before a blazing fire. The even
lng was extremely cold, and the wind blew
fiercely and keen. Yes, and the editor of
the "Tribune" was housed, with his wife, lu
their Btately mansion, furnished In tbe best
style, and lighted brilliantly with costly
chandeliers, They were the happy parents
of four intelligent and Interesting children,
It was about the hour after Bundown and the
bell had rung for tea, A rap was heard at
the street door and upon opening it, there
stood a woman, pale and dejected, and ap
parently not fur from the grave, She bad
with her three ragged children, shivering
wib cold. The gentleman and bis lady
I kindly asked them in to the fire.
BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 22.
'Sir,' said tho poor woman, 'will you bo
pleased to give me a little money Is buy
some bread for my hungry children 1 My
husband has been drinking for the last three
weeks, And left me without a morsel to give
these poor Innocent, or any fuel to keep
them warm,' and then she wept bitterly.
'Where do you live, ma'am?' said the
gentleman.
'In the garret of the old Phoenix Hotel,
sir.'
How long has your husband been ad-1
dieted to drink ?' asked the gentleman's I
wife.
'About three years.'
'Madame,' rejoined tho generous editor,
'I am truly sorry for you, and of course shall I
bestow upon you such charity as I think you
Will you relate your misfortunes? I always
feel a deep sympathy for the unfortunate.
'Mine is a sad Btory. I was bro't up in
affluence j my father was a wealthy mer
chant In Chatham street. My husband was
also rich when we were married. We took
a tour to Europe and returned home, and we
lived happily and prosperously for twoyears. I
Mr. Brooks was a gay and fashionable young I
man. He spent his money freely, and we
lived extravagantly. Three years more and I
he was considerably on the declining ground I
and Anally, by high living and unnecessary
expenditures of money, we were dispossessed
of our home and reduced to abject poverty,!
and then my husband took to drink, and now
am a beggar, with these children depending
on my success for a living. And as such I
beseech you , in behalf ot my poor little
children, to bestow upon me such charity as
you feel disposed to give.'
Her story was told and met a kind re-1
spouse from a generous heart. The lady of
the house recognized the poor woman ; but I
she did not yet feel disposed to make herself
known, but ushered them into the dining
room, and sat down with them to a warm
suDner.
juadaine, saiu tne lauy, 'wnat was your
maiden name?'
'Ellen Dupree.'
'Oh I Ellen, have you come to this ?'
The poor woman was so. overcome with
gratitude and surprise, that she could not
utter a single work. She thought the lady's
voice was a familiar one ; she had heard it
before, but could not remember when or
where : and after a long time she murmured
'1 think I have known you in time, but I
can't remember your name. What is your
name, my good lady ?'
'Mary Crossman was my name when I
knew you.'
'.Mary wno (
'Mary Crossman.'
'My God I Who is your husband 2'
'Oh 1 he's nobody but a printer.'
The poor woman remembered being ln
troduced, before her marriage, to Mr. Wil
Hams, and she remembered, too, how coolly
and indifferently she treated him on that
occasion. Yes. 'nobody but a printer' went
like a dagger to her heart. That 'printer'
was now her benefactor and her friend.
Young ladies, if you marry an industrious
and Intelligent young man, and become I
wealthy in your old age, you do well, but if
you marry a vain, foppish dandy, of the non
compos mentis order, and Bhould be brought
from affluence in youth to beggary in old
age, you do worse.
Remember that, ladles,
and make the I
proper improvement.
Ghost-Stricken Schuylkill.
It is only on raro occasions that the people
of Schuylkill county tako any stock in ghost
stories and when they do the witness must be
of unimpeachable character and not given to
exaggerating. Such a story, however, comes
from reliablo authority at the foot of Broad
Mountain, on the Centre turnpike, and those
who have heard it are inclined to believe it.
Tho two young men who had their hair curl
ed by the apparition are James R. Porter
and Henry Iledioghouse. Ou one occasion
they drove out of Newcastle to visit the
house of a friend named Kirshlings' who
lives on Broad Mountain, and they left Kir
shilings about 11 o'clock for home. After
driving a mile or so, Redioghousc noticed
that the horso was trembling violently and
evinced a dosiro to stop. He applied the
whip freely and under its influence tho horse
moved on a few yards ; but then came to a
standstill and rofused to bo either coaxed or
driven further. While the occupants of the
wagon were debating who Bhould get out and
lead tho horse, Potter looked down tho road
and to his horror saw a Btrango whito object
riso out of the ground. Bedinghouse saw
the apparition about tho samo time ; but sup.
posed it to be a cow, Tho horso now became
perfectly wild and uncontrollable and tbo
wagon was backed off tbo road until tho hind
wheels rested in a gully. In the meantlmo
tho spook took the form of a gigantic man,
clothed from head to foot in white, aud
marched toward tho now thoroughly fright

Potter asserts that he did not feel as frighten

SPREADING MANURE.
The old-fashioned method of plowing un
der manure has become obsolete. Good
farmers now no longer follow old fashions
because they are old : but having become
used to think for themselves, and knowiue
much more of the scieuco of their art than
was known a score of years ago, they are
ready to strike out new paths for themselves,
The common method with manure now is,
to keep it as near the surface, and to inter-
mingle It with the soil, as much as possible. I
We have discovered that in feeding plants
wo must not only place the food within easy I
reach of the roots, but must also supply the I
best food in the best condition. These con-
ditions are secured by a thorough mixture
of the manure in as finely divided a condi-
tlon as possible throughout the upper three
or four inches of the soil. I
Aue oest practice is, to spread the manure I
upon the plowed ground and to work It In
with the harrow. This is most convenient
ly done by having manure In fine condition.
Fine manure may bo made In two ways
eithet by piling it and rotting it in the heap,
or by using only short litter. It Is found in
practice that it pays to cut the litter with a
fodder cutter, so that it will not only absod-
ingmoreoi the liquid manure.butthat it can

soil in the most effective manner. With

out it may ne accompnsnoa by presevering.
ihe manure will be drawn into heaps,doubt

mg these, and harrowing again, and again
if necessary, the desired result will be at

A MODERN SERMON.
The following exhibits the method upon I

'ibese beautiful words, dear friends, car-
ry with them a solemn lesson. I propose
this evening to analyze their meaning and
to apply It, lofty as it may be to our every
day life.
Old mother Hubbard, she went to tho cup
board, To get her poor dog a bone.
Mother Hubbard, you see, was old :
there being no mention of others, we may

the went to the cupboard. And here observe
that she wtnt to the cupboard. She did not
hop, or skip or run, or jump, or use any I
other peripatetic artifice; she solely and
merely went to the cupboard.
'We have seen that she was old and lone- I
ly, and we now further see that she was
poor. For, mark, the words are 'Mr cup-
board.' Not 'one of the cupboards,' or the
'right-band cupboard,' or tbe one above or
the one below, or tbe one under tho floor,
but just tht cupboard, the one humble
little cupboard the widow possessed. And
why did she go to the cupboard? Was It
to bring forth golden goblets, or glittering
precIouB stones or costly apparel, or feasts,
or any other attributes of wealth ? It was
to get her poor Hog a bone I Not only was I
the widow poor, but her dog, the sole prop
sf her age, was poor too. We can imagine
the scene. The poor dog crouching in tbe I
corner, looking wistfully at tbe solitary cup-
board and the widow going to that cupboard
in hope, in expectation, maybe to open
it, although we are not distinctly told that
it was not half open or ajar to open It for
that poor dog.
But when she got there the cupboard was
bare,
And so tho poor dog had none
'When she got there i' You see, dear

HOW TUB ANCIENTS BNURAVEO OEMS.
We must remain as yet some little In
doubt as to the methtds employed by the
old artist to perfect theso miracles of taste.
We have, however, the absolute certainty
that these auclent maulers were familial with
tho diamond, and that their best work was
made by using this, the hardest of all sub-
stance, as a tool. A splintered fragment of
the diamond served as a tcraplng tool, and
they were well acquainted with the drill.
Prehistoric man worked a drill at tne very
commencement of his existence. A phcenl-
clan gem a Hon attacking a bull shows
how the drill was used. A number or cir-
cular depressions are found in the gem, which
mark the extremities of tho figures. This
was dono not only for the sake of effect, but
but'.to show the artist the limit of his work
as to depth. After the holes were sunk, the
artist united the various portions of his work
as to depth. After the holes were sunk, the
artist united the various portions of bis work
by scratching. Now the use of the diamond
point or splinter, bxed in a style or iron
socket, allowed a certain flexibility ol hand-
ling, which our modern procesfes of gem-
engraving do not permit. To-day the work I
Is done by means of a minute rotating disk
of copper, which is whetted with oir and
diamond dust. On the least application of
tho substance to be cut to the disk, it is the
disk which bites Into the stone. The differ.
once In manipulation is, then, that to-day It
Is the stone which goes to the tool, and not,
as In olden times, the tool to tbe stone. It
is more convenient, then, in 187'J, to bring
the cart to the horse. It can now be readily
understood why, In modern work, time and
labor being spaied (the art conception not
entering for the present into the subject)
why this work of to-day is inferior to th
art which is past. It is purely a mechanic-1
al process now, for a rotating disk will no
more draw lines which have feeling than
will photographing processes paint pictures
It has been Btated that we are not entirely
acquainted with tbe methods employed by
the old glyptic artists. 1 his becomes quite
evident from this fact, that their best work
seems to have been both cut and polished
at one and the same time. To-day we have
no tool, no substance, which will accomplish
this double feat. Mr. King, dwelling on
the diamond point, says 'its extensive use is
tbe great distinction between the antique
and modern work.' Barnet Phillips,
