" I send you a leaf from the dear old maple tree which stands nearest the College building; and I think, maybe, it will recall associations from which you will derive some pleasure." Extract fnrtn a friend' letter. A leaf, a leaf from a maple tree ! Oh, what is a leaf like that to me ? Is it yellow, or browu, or fresh and green? 'Tie at best but a trifle to me, I ween. Ah, no ! ah, no ! 'tis a book indeed, To me, of earliest thought and creed ; Of memories sweet and of songs low-nnnpr, In the bright, glad days, when I was young; Of a face all smiles, of a heart full warm Of a aoul nnwracked by sin's alarm, ttlad days ! glad dayn! -where he ye now? Come, shed your light on my care-inarkcd brow ; Come, tell me again of the hopes ahead ; Hut, ah!- -I remember those hopea are dead! Aye, crushed are they ; and the snow will fall, And deep forever will hide them all. You speak of pleasuro, and toll me true Of feelings sacred to me and you ; Of words once uttered, and vows once made, IloneatU that beautiful maple's shade. Ah. For the future it hath in Hiience yearned ; And the maple tree aud the bright, green j tter go down again, Getirge. I long had forgotten alas! alas! But, was it, you ask, for this I prayed, As together we strolled on the grassy glado? "Remember your vows thro coming years;" lint those vows, thro waiting aud bitter ) tears. Arc blotted away, and the void ls there, The haunt of a demon they call despair. lut fear not, friend, tho' my heart be cold, I cannot forget tho days of old. Tho' the liongh be BtripjH.'d and the maple bare, I oft iu spirit will meet thee there ; And love to listen, tho never to hear, Thy voice of music upon my ear. Altoona, Octolier, 1872. MY WIFE'S VI 8 1 OX. glad tK aud we started on our outward course with fine weather and light hearts. We had a month of undisturbed clear 8ky- The wind blew especially for our benefit, and we were making an uncom monly swift paswage. Tho crew had hard- ly enough work to occupy them, for the vessel almost sailed herself. Emily sat on dock most of ;the time, and did no end of worsted'work ami light reading, and in tho moonlight nights she would keep out till midnight someiiines, singing and watching the waves in tho shine, and tho phospho rescence on tho water. We were prepared through all this ca?y time, for the foul weather to come, and when the wind shifted, and a little cloud no bigger than a man's hand began toriso, "We're awaitin' for the blow," said Jack Salt ; and euro enough we had it for forty eight hours, heavy aud strong, and then it calmed down somewhat, and we took a run of rainy days,' not fit for any but men to be out in. Emily staid below, except once she put her head out of tho companionway, all tied up in a hood, and smiling and nodding at mo she said, "Ugh.! Low wet aud nasty everything looks ! even tho sea seems more watery than it was before. I think I had I shall not do for a deck hand." 80 she disappear ed into our cabin. Ou tho night of Thursday, tho 29th of September, livo days out from Ilio, I staid on deck rather later than usual, talking j with tho mate. It was a quiet night, driz zling a little, but the sea smoother than it had been for some time. Mr. Myles, tho mate, who was rather a queer fellow, had been telling me some stories bordering on tho supernatural, and had tried his best to make me give into his belief in the com munication of departed spirit with this world. I turned down the cabin stairs with an incredulous shake of the head, and left him on deck with his watch. I had bid Emily good-night at le;ist two hours, when I left her to go on deck, and At the time of which I write I was mas- ! expected to find her asleep in her lerth. H: ter of the brig Argonaut, sailing between Portland and Rio Janeiro, a matter of from sixty to seventy days length. I had been married about two years to Emily ITasbrouk. My wife was a young woman of uncommon goxl sense, and had waited 'quietly at her mother's house in Cambridge until I was whole master of the Argonaut,' and my wordly goods became suflleieut wherewith to endow a wife, when wo were married, after a long trial of mu tual lovo and faith. Between Emily and her mother there existed an unusual affection and intimacy. The two women were all that were left of a once large and prosperous family. Lit tle by little the projerty had vanished, one by ono tho sons had died, and when old Captain Ilasbrouk was lost down in the Gulf, his widow and one little child were left alone and poorly provided for. Like most New England women, Mrs. Ilasbrouk knew how to make a little go a great way, and Emily was well educated. Mrs. Ilas brouk was like a mother to me alwayB, and when I took Emily away ou my first voy- j age after we wer quarried, I think I was almost as near crying as my bride at leav- ' ing the dear old lady and the snug little ' home. I Emily xras ft wonderful sailor and made 1 the voyago with me like an old tar, never 1 j It was eleven o'clock when I left Myles at tho ladder head, and I descended softly, not to disturb Emily. As I opened tho door I could see that she was not in her berth, but it was not till I was fairly in the ' cabin that I saw her. I My wife was standing in the middle of j the room, her black hair streaming round her. Her hands were clasjicd, and held a 1 little in front of her bosom. Her face was as white as snow ; her eyes wore staring and blank, as though they saw nothing around her. Never have I beheld such awful anguish as herwhole aspect showed. "Emily ! my wife !" I cried, She gave- a sort of a gasp. "George, I have seon my mother I my mother is dead !" I caught her as she foil forward in a swoon. When my dear wife returned to consci ousness I tried to keep her as quiet as pos sible, but it seemed that site must unburd en her mind of the awful revelation that bad been made to her. I sat by her all that night and hold her trembling hand in mine, and at last sho told me how it had come. My wife said: "I was ready to go to bed, but tho ship rolled so littlo that I thought I would road awhile before I turned down tho light. I suppose I hiid road alout fif teen minutes, when suddenly I began to think of mother. I often do this ; for Wo went to Bobton, however, and, tak n.g a carriago,jlrove out to Cambi idgo It was nearly ten o'clock when woicucln'U tho street on which Mrs. l!asbrouk"s house stood. SfjMy wife was shivering, more with rest less dread than cold, as we drove up to tbe once happy little home. She was very quiet, though I knew she was powerfully affected. The house seemed quite dark in front. As we knocked (Emily had insisted on gett ing out of the carriage, and stood close- . to me) as we knocked, the lock turned, ; and the door was thrown open. The hall was filled with light, and in the doorway, as bright and well as over, stood Mrs. Ilas brouk, the sarno happy lady we had left five months liefore. Emily, of course, went back to colors. We have never had the affair satisfactorily explained, but certainly Mrs. Ilasbrouk was perfectly well during the whole time of our absenco, and she had nothing to do with the appearance of her own ghost. I think that Mr. Myles, to whom I after ward told the story, has disliked Mrs. Ilas brouk from that time. A STATUE THAT WINK 111). lajing in the loiust affected by weather or waves, anil always bright and cheerful.

Wo had a happy day together, and Mrs. Ilasbrouk was looking 60 well and bright that I spoke of it, and compliment ed her ou her good looks. "Yes, George," she said, "I havo never felt better, and if it wore not that you aro going to take Emily away again, I would say I never felt in letter spirits. I. only hope, my dear children, that wo may all meet again in this way when you come homo," she added with something of sor row in her tone. Emily kissed her, and told her that wo all meant to be just so well and happy when we mot again. "And don't mind, mammy dear, about writing to me, for George says there can be no communica tion lx'twecn this and Kio before we shall be on our homeward trip." "I cannot hear from you, my darling bo fore I see you?" Mrs. Ilasbrouk asked, as sho walked to the little gate with us. "Not unless my wraith should visit you," Emily said, laughingly thoughtlessly, as she gavo her mother a final embrace. Mrs. llasbrouk's farewell to mo wan very loving and tender, as sho blessed me and bade me take caro of her darling child. She always put Emily under my protection in this way, just as she had done at the timo of our commencing the voyage of lifo together, so that I was perpetually having renewed tho pride and humility of a new made husband when I was bidding Mrs. Ilasbrouk farewell. When we were In the cars, bound for Portland, Emily said to me, "It is such & comfort to me, Oeorge, to have seen moth er looking to well before I sail." I was and there my mother stood before me. Sho was very pale, as though she had been through some illness, and her hands were crossed upon her breast. I sjioke to her: Mother, what is it?' Sho smiled, aud waved her hand to me, and disappeared. I know that she is dead, and that I shall Itt,vsi4tn Ghost St&rif. In a certain villaire so the storv iroes there was a girl who hated work but loved ' gossip. So sho never spun herself, but j used to invite the other girls to her house ! where she feasted them and they spun for her. ' During one of these spinning feasts a dispute arose as to which of the party 1 w.is tne Domest. "I'm not afraid of anything," said the lazy-bones. "Well, then," said the spinners, "if you're not afraid, go through the grave yard into the church, take down tho Holy Picture from the door, and bring it hero." "Very well," said she ; "I'll bi-iug it, only each of you must spin me a distaff full." Well, she went to the church, took down tho picture, and brought it home w ith her. But then the picture had to be taken back again, and tho midnight had arrived. Who was to take it? "Go on spinning, you girls," said the lazy-bone. "I'll,take it back myself. I'm not afraid of anything !' So sho went back to the church and re placed the picture . As she passed through tho graveyard on her return, she saw a corpse in a white shroud sitting on a tomb. ' It was a moonlight night, and everything was visible. She went up to the corpse anil pulled its shroud tiff. (Its hour for stirring hadn't arrived, perhaps.) Thou she went homo carrying the sliroud with her. After supper, when everybody had gone to bed, all of a sudden the corpso tapped at tho window saying. 'Give me my shroud ! give mo my shroud !" Tho other girls were frightened out of their wits. But the lazy-bones took tho shroud opened the window, and said : "There, take it !" "No," replied the corpse, "take it to tho place you took it from." Just then a cock crowed, and the corpse vanished. Next night, at the same hour, after all the spinners had gone to their own homes, tho corpse came again, tapped at the win dow, and said : "Give mo my shroud !" Well, the girl's father and mother open ed the wiudow and offered the cortse its shroud, but it cried : "No ! Let her carry it back to the place sho took it from.'! Just then the cock began to crow tho corpse disappeared. Well, next day they sent for the priest and told him tbe'whole story, and implored him to help them. The priest reflected awhile, then told the girl to come to mass the next day. So in the morning sho went to mass. The ser yico begun. Numbers of people came to it. But just as they were going to sing the "Cherubim Song" a terrible whirlwind IHT W. VltcJI ifc lljf. nit? JIII lit um air, and then flung her down on the ground. And straightway disappeared from sight ; nothing was ever found of her except her black hair.

The last thing out out of debt. In tho spring of 11 the dramatic com pany of John S. Potter, a veteran, who has got hiuiKclf in and outof more tight places than any other man alive, fouud themselves dead broke in a one-horse town iu Lower Canada. When show j-eople do a slim business landlords are iaipei-ative and ex acting, and, in this case, so urgent were tho demands of tho publican who gave them led and board, something had to bo done immediately. Putter called the com pany together, and after discussing their situation pro and mm, proposed that they should get up an exhibition of wax figures. to be represented by the different mem- i bcrs of the company. "I don't see it," taid the heavy viilaiu of tho establishment. "That pork won't boil," joined in the low comedy man. Miss Cleopatra Mellville, tho lending lady, thought it would lower the dignity of tho profession. "Hem," said Potter, "I think the profes sion is pretty well lowered now, and it is the only chance I can sec to make a raise." After arguing the point for some time, the company finally agreed to the mana ger's suggestion. lie arranged that a huge crato and three or four large dry good boxes should come rumbling up tho main street of the town about noon the follow ing day. There were many eager inquiries of what was in the wind from the aston ished populace, aud it was soon noUcd about that it was Baiimm'sgreat show of waxed figures from the city of New York. Of courso the boxes were full of sawdust, and the only statues about the place were the various members of J. 8. Potter's com pany. There was a terrible excitement about the town during the day, and the doors of the hall were shut to all inquisitive intruders. Handbillswcre extensively cir culated, explaining the statues about to be exhibited to the free and enlightened citi zens of the town were perfect models of the sculptor's art. There was so much excitement that the manager had not a doubt he would reap a gulden harvest. It required a short ichearsel before the doors were opened to a discriminating public. A r(ie was stretched across that portion of the hall where the statues were to take their positions, for fear that too close an investigation might be made, and the trick discovered. This precaution and several laro placards of "Hands ofT' it was tho't would make everything secure. "Heigh ho !" exclaimed the charming Miss Cleopatra Mellville, who represented the Scotch heroine, I-ndy Helen Mar "how long must I keep this dreadful awkward position, I shall faint or something, I know I shall, if they quiz me too cl.sely. "Don't do anything of tiro kind, my dear, because it would be injudicious in the ex treme. I shall not run the performance more than an hour, my love," said the man ager, with a winning smile. "Mighty good practice forEvalino," d the general util ity man, who had taken Iuh place as the Marquis De I.ayfayette. "SupiKse that a fellow should hapicn to sneeze," exclaimed George Washington re presented by the heavy tragedian of tho company. "Or Romrthihg bite him and he had to scratch himself," resomled low comedy, the Napolean of the galaxy. "Gentleman," said the worthy manager, "for the honor of the profession I hoje j. uua.i..fi or )-. 11 n-ur. me, come, take your places and let every one remain as immovable as the Pygmalion statue, for the time being. There is a rush at the door, and we are going to have a nice house-full. The audience poured in by twos, threes and half dozens, . and soon tho hall was at least three-quarters full. "Takes Baruum to get up things right," said a stout, red-faced man, to his letter half. "If that statty of Geo. Washington isn't the tallest kind of sculpin, I'd like to know what is." "And so natural," suggested his wife. "Natural, you may well say that. I never saw anything so natural in tho whole course of my life." Many were the compliment passed upon tho charming Cleopatra Mellville, in the disguise of Lady Helen Mar nch as "Ain't she sweet ?" "Pretty critter, I'd like to k i ss h er. " "She looks g od e nor.gh to ea t, " etc. The wax figure show brought money into tho manager's pocket, ?.vA would havo proved a decided success had not an inquis itive countryman made to long an exami nation of Napolean Bonaparte. The poor actor stood the investigator's stare as long as human nature could endnro it, and finally was obliged to wink his eyes. The astonishment depicted in tho counte nance of the countryman could not have been more if ho had seen a dead man come to life. "Thunder and mars !' he exclaim ed, "como this way, Sam. Here's a pre cious go, and no mistake-" "What's tho matter, Jako?" said his friend elbowing his way through the crowd from tho other sido of tho room. "Matter enough, darn me if Bonaparte didn't wink !" "Ha. ha!" roared Sam. "I didn't think that you would I tight so early iu tho evening." "I am as solcr as a judge. Sara.

Just you get on the other side of him, Sam, and we'll both give a good, long, steady Wk." A ten minute's stay put Napoleon Bona parte into h state of excruciating pain. The case was dtsjiciato one and he felt that he had to wink agaiv. or die. Nerving hiins-clf for the act, he plaiitd a tremend ous eoefcdologer on the nose of the inquisi tive Jake, and bolted for t oe door. Lady Helen Mar followed suit, and La Fayette and Washington did not lag lchiud sufti cicutly long fur the audience-to recove r from their astonishment. It so turned out that the people of tho town took the wax figure Or"' a a good joke, and the company, after paying bills, went on their way rejoicing. The Highest Bridok iit the Would. The Baltimore Bridge Conqiany, tiie Pres ident of which, Colonel C. Shalor Smith, so well known to all our citizens, Las just obtaiued a crowning triumph the bridg ing of a mighty chasm iu the heart of the Andes Mountains. The Verrugas Viaduct is 011 the Lima and Oroya Bailroad, in the Andes of Peru. The structure is remarkable for being tbe highest of the kind in the world, and for surpassing all others of the same class in its perfect system of bracing and connec tions. The viaduct crosses a mountain torrent caVUd the Ague de. VerrugaR, in a wild and picturesque licality 12,000 foot above the level of the eca. The structure consists of four deck sp ans of tho Fink tyie of truss, three of which are 110 feet long, and one, the central span 125 feet long. The spans rest on piers built of wrought-iren column. The piers are fifty feet long by fifteen feet wide on top. There lciiig three piers, the total length of the viaduct is 573 feet. The piers are the principal feature of interest and are respectively 145 feet, 252 feet, and W feet high. Each pier consists of twelve legs, w hich in plan form a rectangle. The legs are couijKscd of a series of wmught inui six-segment columns, in length of twenty-five feet, connections Ieing made by cast -iron joint-boxes having tenons on each end running into the column. Tho tenons and tho face of casting against which the columns bears are machine dressed,, so as to obtain an accurate fit and perfect 1 -.earing surface. The columns have r.n exterior diameter of twelve inches.

Thhke Cheers for tub Preacher. At a certain place' on a Methodist circuit, in this county, an enterprising preacher stopped for a week last winter, to stir up some religious interest. Other veteran preachers had been there tiefofo him, but their efforts had been unavailing iu tho direction of a revival. The point was con sidered as lost to religious instruction or conversion. But the new preacher pitch ed iu with much zeal, lie held meetings every night for a week, preached long and strong; got his mourners' bench ready, and called upon seekers of religion, but none apjeared. Night after he appealed to them to seek salvation, but, though tho congregations were large, none apjeared at klio mourners' benches. The meetings wero kept up for a week, and finally tho preacher got discouraged. But he said ho would try it one more night. That jght came, and with it a big congregation. Tho preacher was eloquent, and wound up with an exhortation inviting jrsons forward to the seekers' ltencheA. Not one rose. The preacher waited aud pleaded, but no one moved. Finally he said he would have to almiuluu his elt'ort ; that he hail tried hard to produce couviction, but no ono was moved. He had now made his last appeal, and after a few mild, kind words, he sat down. At this juncture a tall son of the soil arose andjsaid that tho preacher had been working hard, and hod labored faithfully with them, and now, as a token of their appreciation and roioct for him, he moved that the congregation give tho preacher tlireo cheers which was carried.
